Providing birth control to women at no cost substantially
reduced unplanned pregnancies and cut abortion rates by 62 percent to 78 percent
over the national rate, a new study shows.The research, by investigators
at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, recently appeared online
in Obstetrics & Gynecology.Among a range of birth control methods
offered in the study, most women chose long-acting methods like intrauterine
devices (IUDs) or implants, which have lower failure rates than commonly used
birth control pills. In the United States, IUDs and implants have high up-front
costs that sometimes aren't covered by health insurance, making these methods
unaffordable for many women."The impact of providing no-cost birth
control was far greater than we expected in terms of unintended pregnancies,"
says lead author Jeff Peipert, MD, PhD, the Robert J. Terry Professor of
Obstetrics and Gynecology. "We think improving access to birth control,
particularly IUDs and implants, coupled with education on the most effective
methods has the potential to significantly decrease the number of unintended
pregnancies and abortions in this country."Unintended pregnancies are a
major problem in the United States. Each year, about 50 percent of all US
pregnancies are unplanned, far higher than in other developed countries. About
half of these pregnancies result from women not using contraception and half
from incorrect or irregular use.The Contraceptive Choice Project
enrolled 9,256 women and adolescents in the St. Louis area between 2007 and
2011. Participants were 14-45 years of age, at risk for unintended pregnancy,
and willing to start a new contraceptive method.Participants had their
choice of birth control methods, ranging from long-acting forms like IUDs and
implants to shorter-acting methods such as birth control pills, patches and
rings.The women were counseled about the different methods, including
their effectiveness, risks and benefits. The extremely low failure rate (less
than 1 percent) of IUDs and implants over that of shorter-acting forms (8
percent to 10 percent) was emphasized. In all, about 75 percent of women in the
study chose IUDs or implants.From 2008 to 2010, annual abortion rates
among study participants ranged from 4.4 to 7.5 per 1,000 women. This is a
substantial drop (62 percent to 78 percent) over the national rate of 19.6
abortions per 1,000 women in 2008, the latest year for which figures are
available.The lower abortion rates among CHOICE participants also is
considerably less than the rates in St. Louis city and county, which ranged from
13.4 to 17 per 1,000 women, for the same years.Among girls ages 15-19
who had access to free birth control provided in the study, the annual birth
rate was 6.3 per 1,000, far below the US rate of 34.3 per 1,000 for girls the
same age.While birth control pills are the most commonly used
contraceptive in the United Sates, their effectiveness hinges on women
remembering to take a pill every day and having easy access to
refills.In contrast, IUDs and implants are inserted by health-care
providers and are effective for 5 to 10 years and 3 years, respectively. Despite
their superior effectiveness over short-term methods, only a small percentage of
US women using contraception choose these methods. Many can't afford the cost
of IUDs and implants, which can cost more than $800 and may not be covered by
insurance."Unintended pregnancy remains a major health problem in the
United States, with higher proportions among teenagers and women with less
education and lower economic status," Peipert says. "The results of this study
demonstrate that we can reduce the rate of unintended pregnancy and this is key
to reducing abortions in this country."This article was first published at www.newswise.com

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The Modern Goalie
by Paul on 11/30/07 at 02:02 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Allen St. John at the Wall Street Journal,
What's seems to be at work here is nothing less than Darwinism on ice. Under the old rules, a team's defense could do more to protect the goalie, and plays would develop more slowly. Over 2½ seasons of wide-open hockey, the goalie's world has changed. He's facing more and better shots. (In 2005-06, Roberto Luongo of the Florida Panthers set the league record for shots faced, with 2,488.) The greater number of quality scoring chances puts a premium on a goalie's skills….
What does the future hold for NHL netminders? The league has considered increasing the size of the crease, and the rate at which goalies have adjusted to the recent rule changes may hasten this development. If it does come to pass, expect the league's top goalies to grumble—and then figure out a way to keep those flying pucks in front of them.
read on... and I hope maybe it was a typo with "increasing the size of the crease". The size of the nets, yes, increasing the size of the crease would mean even less goals…

Bash at the Beach 2000: "I had no idea that was coming. If you go back and watch the stuff with Hulk and Vince and Jeff down in Daytona. There are arguments on both sides as to whether that was a shoot or a work. Visit Wrestling Inc. I don't know, I assume everything in wrestling is a work, but I don't know, that sure seemed like a shoot to me. I can tell you 100 percent for sure, what Madden and Tony and I were doing at the announce table in the aftermath during that was 100 percent shoot because we didn't know it was coming, at all, we had no clue. What we heard at the end of the production meeting was that Hogan was walking out with the strap, that's all we knew."
The problems with the Invasion angle and why it failed: "What went wrong with the Invasion angle. I know that answer, I have the answer. That's not even an opinion. The answer is we were WCW guys and Vince was never going to push us. Not me, but the talent, the wrestlers. Visit Wrestling Inc. Vince had this idea that he wanted to have WCW invade the WWE, but it was only to bury WCW. Well, he never had it in his head that before you can bury something, you have to build it up. He just wanted to bring in WCW and have them have their own program, their own merchandise, we had our own logo, our own shirts, but then he just wanted to kill it. He could not wait to kill it, and he couldn't even wait to build it up to kill it. He just wanted to kill it and that's what he did and that's what happened there."

Huawei Technologies Co Ltd (Shenzhen, P.R.C), a manufacturer of handsets and network equiptment, aims to ship 20 million smartphones this year, an executive said on Wednesday.
In April, Huawei said it expected to ship between 12 million and 15 million smartphones, which run on Google's Android operating system. Last year, it shipped 3.3 million units.
"Currently, based on the sales in the first half of this year, sales in the domestic market might have already exceeded [the 12-15 million] figure," said Victor Xu, chief strategy and marketing officer of Huawei Device. "Therefore, we think probably that could be around 20 million units globally."
Huawei Device, which contributes about 17% to Huawei's overall revenue of $28 billion, is a division within the group that sells consumer devices, such as cellphones, tablet PCs and wireless cards. Huawei have been unveiling smartphones to compete with Apple's iPhone and Samsung Electronics's Galaxy.
Huawei plans to ship 170 million to 200 million units of products this year, including more than 60 million cellphones, Xu said on Wednesday.
In another effort to capture the consumer sector, Huawei unveiled its MediaPard, a 7-inch Android-based tablet PC, and is developing a 10-inch device to be launched this year.
Currently, Apple dominates the tablet PC market sector with a whopping 80% share.

John Peel Tribute, Queen Elizabeth Hall, London
Friday 14 October 2005
The figure most closely aligned with Peel has long been the crotchety New Wave icon Mark E Smith. His band The Fall has cemented a recent return to form with the current album Fall Heads Roll. It's the most minimal and intense Fall for years. Smith himself was at his dissonant best, knocking over his mike-stand and chewing lyrics into a primal snarl.
Similarly unreconstructed were the reggae veterans Misty In Roots. Forged in the Seventies, their strident, UK version missed the rich tones of the band's horns here, though they retained enough fire to bring the songs to life. In between, Laura Cantrell soothed raw nerves with her elegant take on classic country.
Meanwhile, the one-man band Jawbone pared down rock'n'roll even further than his fellow Detroit residents White Stripes. With searing harmonica, itchy guitar and big bass drum, Bob Zabor resurrected the early field recordings of blues pioneers, but his performance failed to fill the space. There were no such problems for Canada's Aaron Funk, known better as Venetian Snares, here to represent the barely listenable portion of Peel's radio show.
Super Furry Animals have been on a more accessible trip of late, but they could still surprise a crowd. A rare treat was "Run Christian Run". Its pastoral mood was quickly broken by the whimsical space-rock of "Calimero". They were gone far too soon.
That left 20 minutes for a band of which something special was expected. New Order's previous incarnation, Joy Division, was championed early on by Peel, so the spirit of the long-lost frontman Ian Curtis hung over proceedings. His former band-mates rose to the occasion with a short set of Joy Division songs. Barney Sumner's dry delivery was no match for Curtis's brittle intensity, but the band was an unstoppable juggernaut to cap a memorable evening.

HOUSTON, Jan. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Parker Drilling Company (NYSE: PKD) (the "Company") today announced the initial tender and consent solicitation results of its previously announced offer to purchase any and all of its outstanding 9.125% Senior Notes due 2018 ("2018 Notes") pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation dated January 7, 2014. In conjunction with the tender offer, the Company solicited from holders of the notes consents to proposed amendments to the indenture for the 2018 Notes, which would eliminate most of the covenants and certain default provisions thereunder (the "Proposed Amendments").
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20050620/PARKERDRILLINGLOGO)
As of January 21, 2014, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, the Company had received the requisite tenders and consents to effect the Proposed Amendments, which will become effective upon execution of the supplemental indenture governing the 2018 Notes.
Today (the "Initial Settlement Date"), the Company accepted for purchase $416,199,000 aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2018 Notes (or 97.9% of the outstanding principal amount of 2018 Notes) for a purchase price equal to $1,061.98, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Initial Settlement Date for each $1,000 principal amount of the 2018 Notes purchased. This amount includes a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2018 Notes accepted for purchase.
The Offer to Purchase the 2018 Notes will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on February 4, 2014 unless extended or earlier terminated (the "Expiration Time"). Holders of the 2018 Notes who validly tender such notes on or prior to the Expiration Time, and which notes are accepted for purchase, will receive consideration equal to $1,031.98 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2018 Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the 2018 Notes up to, but not including, the final settlement date, which is expected to be February 5, 2014.
As the withdrawal time and date of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on January 21, 2014 has passed, previously tendered 2018 Notes can no longer be withdrawn, and holders who tender 2018 Notes after the withdrawal date will not have withdrawal rights.
The Company retained BofA Merrill Lynch to act as sole dealer manager for the tender offer. Questions or requests for assistance regarding the terms of the tender offer should be directed to BofA Merrill Lynch at (888) 292-0070 (toll-free) or (980) 387-3907 (collect). Requests for the Offer to Purchase and other documents relating to the tender offer may be directed to D.F. King Co., Inc., information agent for the tender offer, at (212) 269-5550 (for banks and brokers only) or (800) 628-8536 (for all others).
None of the Company, the dealer manager, the information agent or the depositary makes any recommendation as to whether or not holders should tender their 2018 Notes pursuant to the tender offer. Each holder must make its own decision as to whether to tender its 2018 Notes and, if so, the principal amount of the 2018 Notes to be tendered.
This press release is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to buy nor solicitation of an offer to sell any securities.
The tender offer is being made pursuant to the terms of the Offer to Purchase and related documents. The tender offer is not being made to holders of 2018 Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include results of operations, market conditions, capital needs and uses, satisfaction of the financing condition to the tender offer and other risks and uncertainties that are beyond the Company's control, including those described in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Editor's choice: the highlights on just-food this week
Ragu leads the US pasta sauce sector - but it is a slow-growth category
Japan's Mizkan Group got out the chequebook again this week, with the acquisition of Unilever's North American pasta sauces business. The deal followed its 2012 purchases of brands including Branston and Haywards from Premier Foods in the UK. Elsewhere, we ran interviews with the CEOs of UK pork processor and dairy group Adams Foods. Click on the headlines for more.
In the spotlight: Mizkan furthers global ambitions with Ragu, Bertolli buy
Japanese condiments maker Mizkan Group has set out a clear growth agenda to grow overseas sales and globalise its operations in order to offset soft domestic consumption patterns. The company announced today (22 May) it has struck a deal to acquire the Ragu and Bertolli in North America from Unilever. While the move strengthens Mizkan's presence in North America, operating in the US pasta sauce category is not without its challenges. Katy Askew reports.
The just-food interview part one: Relevance key to Cranswick's UK growth
UK pork processor Cranswick has grown sales over the past year through some significant contract wins and adjustments to its product mix. The company has also successfully negotiated higher prices despite weak economic sentiment and fierce competition between the country's largest retailers. One of the keys to Cranswick's success has been innovation to keep its product portfolio relevant, CEO Adam Couch told just-food in part one of the just-food interview.
Interview: Adams Foods' rise as force in UK cheese
From a "sleeping giant" losing money to a "sustainable, good business", Adams Foods CEO Ian Toal says the UK arm of The Irish Dairy has made significant progress since he joined the business in 2011. What has driven the business? And how does it plan to grow further. Dean Best met Toal to find out.
Quote, unquote: Food companies refute Oxfam climate change criticism
Oxfam International today (20 May) called on ten of the world's largest food and drinks companies - including Associated British Foods, Danone, General Mills, Kellogg, Mars, Mondelez International, Nestle, PepsiCo and Unilever - to take more decisive action on climate change. According to the charity, as an industry to which climate change represents a "major threat", the food sector should take a leadership role in addressing issues such as carbon emissions and deforestation.

The violence epidemic: Half of women in Britain admit they have been physically or sexually assaulted according to shocking new figures
Wednesday 05 March 2014
Around one in two women in Britain have been physically or sexually assaulted, according to the world's biggest ever report into abuse suffered by women.
The plight of women in this country is part of a far wider problem across Europe, with millions of women attacked each year – often beaten, shot, stabbed, strangled or raped.
One in three of all women in Europe - 62 million people - have been a victim of violence during their lifetime, according to the Violence Against Women report by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), which is released today.
It is an "extensive but widely under-reported human rights abuse" faced by women at home, work, in public and online, warns the report.
The findings are from face to face interviews with 42,000 women in the 28 countries that make up the European Union. Participants, aged 18-74, were asked about their experiences of physical, sexual and psychological violence, as well as issues such as sexual harassment and stalking.
"Physical, sexual and psychological violence against women is an extensive human rights abuse in all EU Member States," said FRA Director Morten Kjaerum. "Measures tackling violence against women need to be taken to a new level now," he added.
The report also reveals that more than four in ten women [43 per cent] have experienced psychological violence from their partner – from being humiliated in public to locked indoors, forced to watch pornography, or threatened with violence.
And stalking – aided and abetted by the social media websites, texting and emails – has plagued almost one in five [18 per cent].
As well as cyberspace, the workplace is another place where women suffer. A third [32 per cent] of EU victims of sexual harassment cited a boss, colleague or customer.
Britain ranks among the worst countries in Europe when it comes to women being violently abused, coming fifth worst in terms of violence suffered by women in their lifetime (defined as being since the age of 15). The proportion of women affected, at 44 per cent, is far above the European average of 33 per cent. The only countries worse than Britain are the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark.
And the perpetrators, who are mostly male, are getting away unpunished due to most women not reporting crimes to the police. Only 22 per cent of British women contacted the police, similar to the European average [20].
Out of 28 countries, Britain ranks:
- Fourth worst for physical and/or sexual violence by a partner – with almost a third [29 per cent] reporting this, compared to the EU average of 22 per cent.
- Sixth worst for women avoiding places or situations for fear of being physically or sexually assaulted - two thirds [64 per cent] admit to this, a higher proportion than the EU average of just over half [53 per cent].
- Sixth worst for sexual harassment - more than two thirds [68 per cent] have suffered this, compared to the EU average of 55 per cent.
Dr Joanne Goodey, the co-author of the report, suggested that increased sexual harassment is the "flipside" of increasing equality in the workplace.
She also cited Britain's drinking culture, with heavy drinking linked to domestic violence, as another factor in Britain faring worse than many other countries. "Also, overall violent crime rates are higher in the UK than some other parts of Europe," she added.
Yvette Cooper, Shadow Home Secretary, said: "The Government needs to take urgent action to stop Britain languishing at the bottom of this EU-wide league table and to stop more women becoming victims of violence."
Crime Prevention Minister Norman Baker said he would need to see the figures to ensure they were accurate. However, he said "any instance of violence is one too many".
"The Coalition Government has made significant progress in tackling violence against women and girls.
"Last year, we extended the definition of domestic violence to include controlling and coercive behaviour, introduced two new stalking offences and in December launched the 'This is Abuse' campaign to highlight that it's not just physical violence that makes a relationship abusive.
"We have also announced the roll out of Clare's Law, domestic violence protection orders and ring-fenced nearly £40 million of funding for specialist local support services and national helplines to support people in abusive situations.
"Furthermore, we have commissioned Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) to conduct a review into how forces deal with domestic violence and are working with the Crown Prosecution Service to ensure the law is enforced."
But Sandra Horley CBE, chief executive of Refuge, described the EU report as "a wake-up call" whose "findings should send shockwaves through governments across Europe – including our own."
She added: "The report also shows that Britain ranks among the worst countries in Europe when it comes to women being violently abused – a shameful accolade."
Among the report's recommendations are that EU countries ratify the Council of Europe's convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (the Istanbul Convention), draw up action plans to tackle violence against women, and ensure that police, doctors, employers and others are trained and equipped to help women victims of violence.
Ms Horley called on Prime Minister David Cameron to ratify the Istanbul Convention "without delay" and "put in place robust measures to ensure that women and children are given the most basic of all human rights – the right to live in safety".
And campaigners are also calling for psychological abuse to be outlawed in a bid to protect victims of domestic violence. "It is possible for the law to criminalise a course of conduct and move beyond physical injury," said Laura Richards, director of stalking advice service Paladin.

Two Fairmont residents were injured in a car accident on Interstate 90 east of Adrian Tuesday morning. 84-year-old Omar Behrens was driving a Honda CR-V westbound on I-90 when he lost control on some ice at just after 9am. The car then went off the road to the right and hit a guardrail, and then went back across the westbound lanes and into the median before striking a second guardrail. Behrens and his passenger, 78-year-old Janet Behrens were both taken to the Worthington Hospital with non life-threatening injuries. They were both wearing seatbelts. Their vehicle was totaled.

In the time it's taken politicians to throw up a road block, an MIT professor has invented a new encryption technology
Monday 08 June 1998
Sniffing money, politicians have a way of showing up and proposing a tax, a law, an embargo, a moratorium, an investigation, a witch hunt or an all-out ban - or otherwise blocking, entangling, obfuscating or getting in the way. The reason is simple: if some process is creating wealth and jobs and raising living standards without them, politicians worry, rightly, that we will begin to wonder why we need them.
Conversely, if a pol can make enough trouble, at some point it just gets easier to play along. Once upon a time in America, there was another class of citizen who practised a similar approach. In certain, often humble neighbourhoods, these folks would come along selling "insurance" - insurance that your windows didn't get smashed, or your arm broken, or your head cracked. Folks didn't like it very much but were pragmatic enough to pay up, at least if they owned any windows, arms or heads.
Giving in means ceding power. And power and money are to politicians as matter and energy were to Albert Einstein: two sides of the same coin.
So it is with our political leaders, and their methods date from at least the epoch immediately following the casting out from the Garden of Eden. Recently, however, many of these same leaders find themselves struggling to keep up with the pace of technological change.
Technology moves so fast that opportunities flash past too quickly for this set to get their hooks in. It even comes to pass that once they've got their arms around something, a twist in the technology leaves them with empty hands. Just such a situation may currently be in the making.
America's political leadership has drawn a bead on strong encryption. They absolutely refuse to let citizens keep their private affairs private, using the pretty flimsy pretence that they're doing this to keep encryption out of the hands of criminals. Most not-particularly-sharp 10-year-olds can tell you that, by definition, making something illegal keeps it out of the hands of the law-abiding, not the criminal, element.
Even though his advisers admit that this policy is a failure, President Clinton continues to support the notion that all encryption schemes must have a "back door" key that the government can get their hands on whenever they want to check up on us.
The Feds have indicated that they will never mess with authentication keys - digital signatures that individuals and corporations can use to prove, among other things, that they are really who they say they are when conducting transactions.
So it was amusing this week to come across a new scheme for securing messages - by Ronald Rivest, an MIT professor - that does not depend on secret keys or encryption. Rivest (he's the "R" in "RSA encryption") proposes a system called "chaffing and winnowing". Chaffing, Rivest explains, is the reverse of winnowing, which means "to separate or eliminate the poor or useless parts".
Chaffing and winnowing work like this: an author, say, Alice, composes a message to Bob, and breaks it into convenient blocks of text. She precedes each plain-text block with a sequence number, and ends it with an authentication code computed from the text, plus her own authentication key.
At some point, a bunch of dummy blocks (or blocks of messages from other users) are randomly mixed in with Alice's. Alice can do this, or she can let somebody downstream do it - say, her Internet service provider. ISPs already send all their traffic as intermingled blocks called packets.
Bob just has to look for a complete sequence of blocks with the correct authentication code, jettison the extras, the chaff, and he's got the whole message. In practice, Alice and Bob's software would do all of this invisibly. Alice's would break up the message, add the sequence number and calculate the authentication keys, while Bob's would reject any message block that didn't match the sender's key and reassemble the full text.
It should be noted that this scheme, so far, is very much like what happens to any message sent electronically over a network. Messages are routinely broken up into packets with a sequence number and a check-sum or other code that allows the receiver to know if the packet was transmitted correctly. A law against this scheme would essentially be a law against messaging on networks with current techniques.
If the blocks were sized or otherwise handled cleverly, and enough chaff were mixed in, the odds of someone recovering the right blocks without knowing the authentication key could be made extremely slim - as slim as they are in the case of strong encryption. There are a number of twists that can be added - none of which depend on encryption or secret keys - which can make this system very, very secure.
This legerdemain makes escrowed recovery keys useless - remember, the message itself is in plain text - and depends instead on authentication keys that the US government has pledged it will never touch.
In short, in the time it has taken a few hundred politicians to throw up a road block, a professor has just invented a new technology. As Rivest puts it: "The policy debate about regulating technology ends up being obsoleted by technological innovations."
Maybe Rivest's greatest contribution will be to winnow the citizenry from politician's chaff.
