1 1/4 cups sweetened coconut
8 ounces heavy cream
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
chocolate cake:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for pans
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons good quality Dutch process cocoa powder

1/4 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar or granulated sugar
1 teaspoon coconut rum
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup lightly toasted sweetened coconut
for the coconut frosting:
bring the milk, coconut milk and goat's milk to a simmer over low heat in a small saucepan. keep warm while you prepare the caramel.
combine the sugar and water in a medium saucepan over high heat and cook (do not stir) until it becomes a deep amber brown color. slowly whisk in the warm milk mixture and continue whisking until smooth; add the vanilla seeds and corn syrup. bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the sauce is reduced by half and is the consistency of a caramel sauce, about 55 minutes.
once the sauce is reduced, remove from the heat and whisk in the cold butter, vanilla extract, salt and rum and whisk until combined. transfer the sauce to a medium bowl and stir in the pecans and coconut. let the frosting cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally before frosting the cake.
for the ganache:
bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over low heat. put the chocolate into a medium bowl, add the hot cream and the corn syrup and let sit for 30 seconds. gently whisk until smooth. let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before pouring over the cake.

combine the heavy cream, coconut milk, sugar, rum and vanilla in a stand mixer and mix until soft peaks form. slice the cake, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with some of the toasted coconut.
enjoy :)

Futuristic images of a major new development built in one of Britain's poorest neighbourhoods and around the nation's first high-speed rail super hub were released today. The regeneration vision for Park Royal City shows 12,000 gleaming new homes, the opportunity for 115,000 extra jobs and a light-railway, dubbed the 'jobs express', built on an unrivalled convergence of transport routes in north-west London.
The artists' impressions, which have been drawn up by internationally renowned architect Sir Terry Farrell, show vast tracts of derelict or underused industrial land - around Old Oak Common in NW10 - transformed into London's newest city. The images show new homes, businesses and a new waterside park along the Grand Union Canal, known as Park Royal City, built around a 21st century transport super-hub. The vision is compared to others designed by Farrell in China - at Guangzhou, Kowloon and Beijing.
Around half of working-age adults within 1.2miles of the new city, including residents in the neighbouring boroughs of Brent, Ealing and K&C, are unemployed and some parts of Old Oak are in the bottom 1% of most deprived areas nationally. Cllr Stephen Greenhalgh, H&F Council Leader, says: "HS2 is the fastest way to deliver much needed new homes, jobs and opportunities in one of London's poorest areas as well as adding much need capacity to our creaking rail network."
"The Old Oak super hub is vital to making the overall HS2 plans work properly as it will relieve pressure on central London terminals, like Euston, that will not be able to cope with the huge number of additional passengers on their own. In turn HS2 will be the catalyst to create Park Royal City - transforming the capital's Bermuda Triangle of inactivity into a thriving new city."
The images were prepared as part of Hammersmith & Fulham (H&F) Council's submission to the Department for Transport (DfT) backing the Government's plans for a high speed rail line (HS2) from Birmingham to London. H&F Council is arguing that Park Royal City International is vital to the success of HS2 as: It would take pressure off central London terminals like Euston which would have to cope with 13,000 extra passengers an hour without the high-speed hub at Old Oak; It would properly link four of the nation's major airports to the high speed rail network for the first time. Heathrow would be just 11 minutes away. Three other airports (Luton, Stansted and City Airport) would be within 30 minutes; The site possesses unrivalled road and rail connections e.g. Great Western and West Coast mainlines, Crossrail, West and North London Lines, Bakerloo and Central Underground lines, Heathrow Express, A40 and North Circular Road

The "PHP Manual Masterpieces" site has varied a bit from its usual format and has gone with its own "blast from the past" doing a review in retrospect of PHP 2.0, a long forgotten version of the language with some "interesting" features.
This is not about PHP as we now know it in the waning months of 2013. This is about the waning months of the year 1997. I was nine years old. My life was not yet overshadowed by haphazard scripting languages. Somewhere in the wilderness, during a savage thunderstorm in the dead of night, a Danish Canadian pushed the 2.0 revision of his personal home page generator's tarball to a web server.
The post looks at some of the "horrors" that made up PHP at that time including:
- The footer PHP/FI added to every page
- No real concept of input/output filtering
- The use of register_globals
- Weird handling of superglobal values
- The inclusion of magic_quotes
And, of course, all of these (and more) complete with quotes from the manual at the time talking about reasons behind their use and code where appropriate.

FALL RIVER � Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez is to be arraigned on charges that he attacked a handcuffed inmate and threatened to kill a guard and his family while at a county jail in Dartmouth. Test
#AaronHernandez in court. @LiamWCVB inside. @LokayWCVB w/reaction outside. LIVE: http://t.co/revvoqv5iY pic.twitter.com/hM9W0mC7wz� WCVB-TV Boston (@WCVB) June 16, 2014 Also Monday, lawyers for Hernandez are expected to ask a judge to dismiss the murder charge he faces in connection with last June's killing of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd.
Hernandez's lawyers say the charges should be dismissed because prosecutors have failed to show probable cause that Hernandez killed Lloyd or even took part in the slaying.
Two Hernandez associates are also charged in the case.
Hernandez is also charged with killing two men in Boston in 2012.// ]]>

My biggest concern is after pint three just sayin' to myself... ahh jeez... in Berlin... the beer is sour... let's just stay here!
Play it safe and stay in the airport. You're gonna be exhausted and the possibility of missing your flight are too great. You may have one beer too many and not be allowed on the plane. That could also happen in the airport but in the airport you aren't rushed and can sip a couple of nice beers instead of looking at the clock and trying to finish "just one more" in time to get back to the airport.

Scott Edwards was sentenced to ten years in prison for violating the Constitutional rights of five women through acts of aggravated sexual abuse and sexual contact while serving as their "drug court tracker," when the women were participants in the Lincoln County Drug Court program. The crimes occurred beginning in February 2009 through November 2010.
According to court documents, Edwards was a Detective for the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department and served as a "drug court tracker" for the Lincoln County Drug Court until his termination in December 2010. The Lincoln County Drug Court is a program to which drug offenders are sentenced for the purpose of obtaining intense treatment, counseling and rehabilitation. The Lincoln County Drug Court contracts with the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office to employ law enforcement officers to serve as part-time "drug court trackers" who monitor the whereabouts and curfews of drug court participants as needed. While engaged as a "drug court tracker," both on duty and off duty, Edwards abused his position of authority and engaged in sexual acts with five female drug court participants without their consent. These sexual acts resulted in bodily injury to one or more of the victims, and included aggravated sexual abuse and sexual contact with the female victims.
Edwards, 50, of Troy, pled guilty in July to two felony counts of deprivation of rights under color of law including aggravated sexual abuse; one felony count of deprivation of rights under color of law including kidnaping; and two misdemeanor counts of deprivation of rights under color of law including sexual contact, and appeared today for sentencing before United States District Judge Audrey G. Fleissig.
This case was investigated by the St. Louis Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Troy, Missouri Police Department, with the assistance of the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office. Assistant United States Attorney Hal Goldsmith and Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Trial Attorney Fara Gold handled the case for the United States.

Cordless Blinds, Shades, & Window Treatments
- The safest bet in blinds and shades
- Child and pet friendly without cords
- Clean, elegant look without cord clutter
- Gentle push/pull lift from bottom rail
- Simple, convenient operation
Cordless blinds and shades offer a convenient and safe option now available on most styles of window treatments. Instead of a traditional lift cord, the shade is operated with a gentle push or pull on the bottom rail to position the shade at any height. With no dangling cords, shades are safer for children and pets and have a clean, uncluttered look. Simply select the cordless option when customizing your shade and be sure you can reach the window at the maximum height you would raise the shade - if not, consider a motorized window treatment.

Press Release- Prop 8 Protests
For Immediate Release:
Prop 8 protests heard around the country
November 16, 2008 - This week, members of the BDSM-leather-fetish, swing and polyamory communities joined protests in cities all over California against the recent passage of Proposition 8 which outlaws same-sex marriage. In addition, dozens of NCSF board members, staff, volunteers and Coalition Partner representatives attended protests staged nationwide on November 15th by Join the Impact.
NCSF urges community members to go to http://jointheimpact.wetpaint.com to submit your photos and stories about the demonstrations.
"NCSF has close ties and relationships with LGBT organizations and has always supported equal rights for everyone," says Susan Wright, spokesperson for NCSF. "We support gay marriage not only on behalf of our own LGBT members in our communities, but also because marriage is a fundamental right that shouldn't be denied to anyone. These protests are an important way to show the world that we stand up for those rights."
NCSF supports the freedom of consenting adults to discover and to practice the intimate relationship structure that best meets their emotional and human needs. We champion the basic human right to do so free of governmental, societal or institutional coercion or favoritism.
A joint Project of NCSF and ITCR: The Foundation of NCSF
Action Alert - Religious political extremists attack The Task Force for "Leather Leadership Award"
February 13, 2008 - The American Family News Network posted an inflammatory article condemning the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force for honoring Guy Baldwin with their Leather Leadership Award at the 20th National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change, on February 6-10, 2008 (www.thetaskforce.org).
According to the February 7th article:
Peter LaBarbera, executive director of Americans for Truth commented that he is not sure if he is more surprised by one of the sponsors of the event or by one of the activists who will be honored. "It's incredible to me," he continues. "But the Democratic Party is endorsing an event where they're actually presenting an award for sadomasochism."
A sponsorship acknowledgement notes that the Democratic National Committee gave at least $2,500 to help pay for the event. The recipient of the "Leather Leadership Award" is Guy Baldwin, a psychotherapist who has successfully lobbied against treating sadomasochism as a mental health problem.
To see the entire article, go to: http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?
In point of fact, the Democratic National Committee did not sponsor Creating Change or the Leather Leadership Award.
The Task Force does have a strong history of supporting the BDSM-leather-fetish communities. In previous years, this included awarding their Leather Leadership Award to Dave Rhodes of The Leather Journal and Tony DeBlase, creator of the Leather Pride Flag, as well as providing tracks and roundtables for activists dedicated to leather community issues.
"Those who persecute our communities know that The Task Force and the BDSM-leather-fetish communities have shared agendas in promoting tolerance and non-discrimination for sexual minorities, including those involved in alternate lifestyles. We grow stronger the more we stand together," says NCSF Spokesperson Susan Wright.
From Guy Balwin's acceptance speech for the Leather Leadership Award at Creating
"One of the many reasons it is important for The Task Force to be sending these signals of acknowledgement and legitimacy out to the LGBTIQQ world is that when our enemies in the struggle for self-determination look in our direction, they can't see the amazing diversity represented in a room like this one. No, to our enemies, we all look the same. They make none of the distinctions that we, ourselves, have made. To our enemies, garbage is garbage, no matter what color we are.....how old we are.....how we smell, or how we play. And that's just one reason it's important that we build bridges between our diverse communities and that's why this award to me today matters to all our communities. But the effort to build these bridges will be
wasted unless they are vigilantly maintained from both sides." b Guy Baldwin
We ask you to send a short note of appreciation to the Task Force:
Roberta Sklar, Communications Director
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
Dear Ms. Sklar,
Thank you for your recognition and inclusion of the BDSM-leather-fetish communities in your annual conference, Creating Change. The Leather Caucus and workshops on alternative sexuality have been very important to the LGBT members of our communities, providing a place where we can gather with our peers and discuss activist issues.
I congratulate you on choosing to give your Leather Leadership Award this year to Guy Baldwin for his activist efforts on behalf of the leather community. I proudly support The Task Force and am glad to join together on our common and shared goals of equality for all Americans.
(your name)
Guy Baldwin is a Los Angeles-based psychotherapist, author and activist on behalf of "erotically uncommon people." Baldwin may be best known for his monthly essays which appeared in Drummer Magazine and were collected in his 1993 book, Ties That Bind. Baldwin is a former titleholder, having served in 1989 as Mister National Leather Association and also as the 11th International Mr. Leather. In 1987, Baldwin launched the DSM Project to mobilize mental health professionals worldwide to press for changes to the official clinical definitions that had long been used to label leather people, gay and otherwise, as pathological. The DSM Project succeeded with the publication of new and substantially improved language in 1993 in the Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
The National Coalition for Sexual Freedom is a national organization committed to creating a political, legal, and social environment in the United States that advances equal rights of consenting adults who practice forms of alternative sexual expression. NCSF is primarily focused on the rights of consenting adults in the SM-leather-fetish, swing, and polyamory communities, who often face discrimination because of their sexual expression.

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests:
The etiopathogenesis of lupus and the regulation of genes involved in inflammation.
Research Summary:
We are interested in genes that control inflammation and specifically in the role of these genes in inflammatory disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Crohn's disease. Over-expression of TNF is a characteristic of most inflammatory diseases and anti-TNF antibody treatment is a valuable strategy. By understanding the regulation of TNF expression, we hope to develop strategies which would allow resetting of the TNF locus such that production is normalized.
A variety of techniques are used in the lab to understand the genetics of SLE. Chromatin immunoprecipitation is used to define the epigenetic status of a given locus and micrococcal nuclease is used to define nucleosome positions. Additional studies of chromatin as a dynamic modulator of gene expression are planned and we will continue to define the variables that are important in the development of lupus.

Kim Kardashian's learned a thing or two about fighting inflation ... of her ankles during pregnancy -- and let's just say she won't get fooled again.
Kim cruised out of her San Diego hotel and for once, chose comfort over fashion ... because in full public view she was wearing fuzzy slippers.
Looks like the run of the mill, hotel spa-issued slippers too -- and NOT couture!
There's a very simple reason why roughly 6-months pregnant Kim is dressing down. Who can forget the great ankle crisis of 2013?

Question 1: Yesterday, I heard a radio commercial asking listeners to support a college fund for America's indigenous people (aka American Indians; aka Native Americans). The commercial made the point that most Indians on reservations live in poverty. If the reservations are so poor, why don't the residents leave? Is it really more important to them to score points against the U.S. government by living on guilt-land than it is to thrive? It's the same with the Palestinians — the leaders are making a point and the followers are living in squalor. Is there something I'm missing here?
Question 2: Putting aside the fact that there's nothing to celebrate about having coerced 7 or so million people to buy insurance, why does the Left now claim that Obamacare can no longer be repealed? How complicated is repeal? Isn't repeal simply the absence of force? You'd be saying "The government won't force people to buy a product; employers can decide whether it's to their benefit to offer insurance benefits to their employees; and the insurance companies will once again be able to shape insurance policies according to their company values and profit goals, not according to government diktat. It seems to me that, while implementing has taken years and will take constant effort, undoing it will take no energy at all. It's like physics. It takes energy to hold the thing together, and entropy will allow it readily to fall apart. Again, is there something I'm missing here?

2 dogs, 2 issues
Okay, so number one;
my 1 year old, Cato is a German Shepherd/Akita mix. Just yesterday I noticed that he woke up with one really goopy/watery eye. I wiped the goop away and inspected his eye, nothing in it that I can see, and it didn't seem to bother him at all. No redness, the goop was just white/clear and it was perfectly fine the rest of the day. Same thing happened this morning though, just not as bad. Same routine wiped it, checked his eye, nothing that I could see and so far, no goopies are back and it's not bothering him.
Both the dogs like to crawl under our bed(it's home made and high up, we really need to get around to closing it off so they can't get under it) so I thought maybe it could be dust or something under there, but in only one eye?
Also, our other dog(whom is Cato's biological father if that makes a difference) isn't experiencing the same symptom.
Second; Eli, our other dog is Shepherd/Akita and 2.5 years old.
Several weeks-month ago, we noticed he started itching a lot more frequently, his truck,one paw,armpits and tail mainly. At that time, we had just switched their food, so that's a factor, but we had also been doing some renovations and tracking fiberglass insulation all through the house for a week or two, as well as that was when we really got the big shift towards the nice warm summer weather. All factors.
Now, after a few weeks on the new food, they weren't really impressed, so we switched back to the food they've both always been on (just purina dog chow) because they've never had issues on it at all and always been very healthy. This was within the last week or so that we switched back so we're waiting to see if there's improvement from that.
We also finished the renos and cleaned the house really well about 2 weeks ago, so no more insulation, and we noticed that after a few days, Eli stopped itching so much.(Cato was itching some too and all but stopped) Eli no longer licks his one paw raw, his armpits don't seem to bother him either other than the occasional itch, but his poor tail.
He's chewed it near raw in two spots. No hair loss or anything from it, but the skin when I first inspect it will be a little raw with yellow crusty stuff(almost like dried wound discharge, but there's no cuts or anything? and it's slightly foul smelling) so I shaved the two spots down(he has REALLY long thick hair) so I could clean it really well, applied some polysporin and wrapped it. After about 4-5 days, the first one more or less went away and it doesn't seem to bother him. It's still a little flaky though. The second one is getting there. No longer raw but I still have to clean away the dense flaky stuff in the mornings and re-wrap it and it's looking a bit better. Still bothers him though. Also, before the yellow flaky stuff made an appearance, when I caught him chewing it, if I rubbed the skin where he was chewing it felt oily, but then after giving it a couple seconds on my finger, it felt sticky, then a few seconds after that it would just go away. It was weird.
I've ONLY seen this on his tail. No other spots, even the other spots he occasionally chews like his haunches. Any idea what this could be?
Already checked for fleas and ticks and mites.
Tried him on Benadryl for several days, 1mg for every 1-2lbs of weight, I didn't really notice it making a difference, plus that's a lot of benadryl to be giving a dog since he's 100lbs so I don't want to do that.
Any ideas you can give me before spending another several hundred+ dollars at the vet would be great!
First off - welcome to the forum!
To me, these problems seem to be taking care of themselves.
For problem 1 - if the dooger is no longer tearing, the problem might well be over. These things can happen when irritants get in the eye.
For problem 2 - unless I've misunderstood something, seems the dog has a raw tail that is healing slowly. What originally caused this might have been the airborne construction materials that irritated the tail and he started chewing on it. I'm guessing here of course. But if that is the case, I would expect it to heal up on its own within the next few weeks.
Obviously a vet visit is the safest route any time you are concerned - but I would not expect this to cost hundreds of dollars.
I'd be very curious to hear what other members suggest.
any chance you can post an image of the raw tail?
Good luck!

I will keep an eye on...well, Cato's eye hahaha. Hopefully you're right, but it's weird that it was two days in a row and only in the morning in only the one same eye.
As for Eli, I just gave him a really good bath in a medicated shampoo from Pet Valu used for itchy skin,hot spots and seborrhea(which actually sounds about right for the diagnosis other than it's on his tail and not the usual spots for it) so I'll wait until tomorrow morning to post a picture of his tail, as that's when the yellow gunk is the worst. Right now it just looks like his skin is a little off color/yellowed in that spot; not sure it would show very well in a picture. With any luck, the shampoo will help though, I'm going to start it at once a week(or 2 if he gets really wet/dirty since a yeast infection can develop with soborrhea((if thats what this ends up being)) and we live right near the water,so lots of standing water,swampy areas,dense greenery etc) and decrease it eventually to once every other week for maintenance.
As well, once this bag of food gets low, I found a much better brand of food I'd like to switch the boys to without grain,corn,gluten I believe and fillers just in case it's a recently developed food allergy, and the best part, it won't break the bank lol
Hopefully it's that simple.
Will post a picture tomorrow!Wish the poor "little" guy luck!
Welcome to the forum. I am glad to hear that you are going to change up the food that you are feeding to a grain free product. Your pups problems could be allergies. I would love to see some pictures of your furkids too!
It Is What It Is
Fibreglass insulation? That stuff is Terrible for getting into small spots and itching like the devil. If that was the kind might well have been responsible for the goopy eye and the other itching. Weren't you itchy too?
For the tail, google up on Stud Tail and see what you think. The oiliness and the smell are typical. It's named for being most common in intact tomcats but happens in dogs too and both genders of both species and also in neutered as well. I know someone who swears cocoanut oil helped her dog over it. The GR next door had it and he has got his hair back as well, he just seemed to grow out of it but I know he was on treatment from his Vet too. Sorry, don't know what the treatment was.
Tail Gland Hyperplasia is the medical term.
I lied, unintentionally of course.
The food isn't grain free, it has whole brown rice in it, but it's soy,wheat,corn and by-product free.
Still much better than Dog Chow though nutritionally.
Also, my husband said that Cato's eye wasn't goopy that he noticed this morning, so hopefully that's the end of that!
This is Eli's tail this morning. I tried to email myself two pictures, but only this one came through and it's sort of hard to see, but the yellow gunk just kind of clumps on his skin and around the hair. When I rub it a bit with some paper towel it resembles dandruff. There isn't AS much as there was before his medicated bath, and I haven't noticed as strong of an odor, but if this IS Seborrhea, than the poor dude will be dealing with it for the rest of his life and all we can do is manage it.=/
You might have to tip your screen to see the difference lol, but the majority of the yellow gunk is near the middle-left of the shaved area.
Also, these are my babies
Cato, 1 year old.
Still got the baby face<3
If Eli had a choice, it'd be winter all year round.
I googled Stud tail. The flaky/greasy gunk sounds accurate, but there's really no darkening of the skin or anything and no hair loss.
The first spot also seemed to go away fairly quickly with only a routine of cleaning with mild soap and water,drying it and using some polysporin while it was raw, and wrapping it dry after the rawness went away.

Ban the Box: For a Second Chance at Fair Employment
Please visit the NC Second Chance Alliance's new website at ncsecondchance.org.
Check out our Ban the Box videos of North Carolinians struggling with the collateral consequences of criminal convictions.
Why is it important?
There are over 1.6 million people in N.C. with a criminal record. The prison population has risen to about 40,000. 98% will eventually be released. 50% of ex-offenders are sent back to prison for new crimes.
Nearly 45% of those under Department of Correction supervision are African American; this disparity is a significant challenge to communities of color. As of September, 2010 there were nearly 4,000 people in Durham County on probation or parole; add to this the thousands who have criminal records but are not under the supervision of the Department of Correction.
These statistics demonstrate the tremendous number of people who face employment barriers as they seek honest, legal employment.
Why does this matter to our communities?
If families of formerly incarcerated are going to heal, prosper and contribute to our community, EVERYONE must have an opportunity for employment, housing and education. Employment is one of the most effective tools to reduce recidivism-returning to prison, resulting in a safer community and lower cost to tax payers.
What is "Ban the Box"?
The "box" is that place on many employment applications that asks whether the applicant has been convicted of a crime or been incarcerated. Some may even inquire about arrests.
What would "Ban the Box" do?
It would remove those questions from the application and the initial stage of the employment process so that those who are responsible for making hiring decisions first get an opportunity to learn about the candidate's experience, skills and personality as they relate to the position to be filled.
Does it mean no criminal background checks would be done?
Once the hiring official is prepared to offer the applicant a job or they are a finalist for the open position a criminal background check would be initiated.
How would the screening process work?
The applicant would be able to explain the nature of the crime, how long ago it was committed, when incarceration ended, successful rehabilitation efforts and certifications if available. They will also be given an opportunity to review the records to determine their accuracy. The hiring official would adhere to federal Equal Opportunity Commission guidelines and not make negative decisions when the crime is unrelated to the job duties.
Have other city and county governments made this change to their employment applications?
Many cities, counties and even states have passed ordinances that changed the application and made the process fairer. In September and August, Detroit and Cincinnati joined 21 other cities including New Haven, Boston, Jacksonville, Memphis, San Francisco and Kalamazoo. Alameda County, California and Multnomah County, Oregon have banned the box. Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico and Hawaii have passed laws prohibiting the box on applications for state jobs.

The odds for a first birth before 28 weeks gestation increased significantly in women who had had one or more prior induced abortions, a large Finnish study showed.
The odds ratio for very preterm birth (less than 28 weeks) increased from 1.19 with one induced abortion (95% CI 0.98 to 1.44) to 2.78 for women who had had three or more abortions (95% CI 1.48 to 5.24) before giving birth for the first time.
The risk for preterm birth before 37 weeks was increased only among women who reported three or more prior abortions, as reported online in Human Reproduction.
"In terms of public health and practical implications, health education should contain information of the potential health hazards of repeat induced abortions, including very preterm birth and low birthweight in subsequent pregnancies," Reija Klemetti, PhD, of the National Institute for Health and Welfare in Helsinki, and co-authors wrote in conclusion.
"Healthcare professionals should be informed about the potential risks of repeat induced abortions on infant outcomes in subsequent pregnancy."
The authors cautioned that "observational studies like ours, however large and well controlled, will not prove causality."
Numerous studies have shown an association between induced abortion and risk of preterm birth, including a "dose-response" effect. Other studies did not find such associations, and the association disappeared altogether in adjusted analyses of some investigations.
Less is known about the relationship of induced abortion to low birthweight. Additionally, studies have yielded variable findings about the type of abortion procedure, gestational age at abortion, and number of abortions prior to giving birth.
Klemetti and colleagues sought to inform on areas of uncertainty by examining the impact of prior induced abortion on birth outcomes among first-time mothers in Finland, which maintains good records on birth outcomes and induced abortions.
They hypothesized that one induced abortion does not affect birth outcomes but several prior abortions might have an adverse impact on birth outcomes.
Finland has a low rate of legal abortions (8.9 per 1,000 women ages 15 to 49) compared with European countries, and illegal abortion is rare, as is legal abortion outside the country, the authors noted in their introduction.
The investigators searched the Finnish birth registry for 1996 to 2008, identified all first-time mothers, and linked the results to the national abortion registry for procedures performed from 1983 to 2008.
The search identified 300,858 first-time mothers. Of those, 10.3% had had one prior abortion, 1.5% had two, and 0.3% had three or more prior abortions. Of the abortion procedures, 88% were surgical, 91% were performed before 12 weeks gestation, and 97% were performed for "social reasons."
An adjusted analysis showed that prior induced abortion (versus none) increased the odds for birth before 28 weeks gestation to:
- 1.19 after one (NS)
- 1.69 after two (95% CI 1.14 to 2.51)
- 2.78 after three (95% CI 1.48 to 5.24)
Only with three or more prior induced abortions were the odds increased for:
- Preterm birth (<37 weeks) -- OR 1.35 95% CI 1.07 to 1.17
- Low birthweight (<2,500 g) -- OR 1.43 95% CI 1.12 to 1.84
- Very low birthweight (<1,500 g) -- OR 2.25 95% CI 1.43 to 3.52
"With the exception of low Apgar scores, the studied adverse birth outcomes were more common among mothers having had three or more induced abortions," the authors wrote in their discussion. "Taking into account previous miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies did not notably change the results."
The study was supported by the National Institute for Health and Welfare and the Academy of Finland.
The authors had no disclosures.

The really great part though, is that unlike in other cases where authors have done a Gaiden/Special chapter to ease us back into the story, the author goes straight for the action/plot here. Very nice.

It would really be interesting to see how much volume six of the manga sold compared with the rest and how the controversy affected the manga sales. Does anybody here happens to know these sales numbers, by any chance?

Retarded fan backlash is retarded. It's like they don't even read the freaking manga. This entire thing was so heavily hinted at near the begining of the manga that you'd be blind to miss it.
She told Jin's childhood friend she had someone she liked that wasn't Jin. Meaning if that were true which at the time it was implied to be true it would have to be someone she met well before she met Jin. Considering the doubt over her memory it was very likely she had a relationship with that person.
Throughout reading this manga the posssibility should at least have been apparant. Anyway Nagi's dark side mode was logical progression of the story and very likely could have been planned from the begining, considering it's a good way to explain precisely what these demons are and it's been leading up to this for a while.

I still think a good chunk of the controversy was driven by trolling. Internet fuckwadry seems like the kind of thing that could cross cultural boundaries, and for some reason I find the existence of internet trolls easier to accept than the existence of people who are actually that screwed up.

fun chapter indeed. I did not expect "dark Nagi" to be this dark actually. One single chapter and she is gone all the way to the dark side! I do feel a little uneasy about that because, how on Earth can she be turned back to the light side after such a massacre? unless all those bodies were just unconscious... and really, now Jin must really realize that Zange was not to be trusted... I almost expected Jin to say "screw all this, Zange get lost and never come back".

Dark Nagi is back but really I think the evil one here is Zangue
Now I can't remember or I'm confused.. but ozuma is deity nagi or normal nagi's boyfriend ???
I don't mind if nagi is virgin or not, anyways she is always like a slut because she needs fans to live.
The author should tell more about nagi's past and why ozuma is darkness..

One might not know as they get downright competitive on the show. (Courtesy Drury Outdoors) By: Steve Rogers, OutdoorChannel.com There's friendly competitions, then there's good old sibling rivalry. There's no comparison. King of the Spring, a new show on Outdoor Channel, is a brother vs. brother battle featuring Mark and Terry Drury, veterans of several shows on the Outdoor Channel lineup. The competition centers around spring turkey season in Missouri and a variety of contests and shenanigans on the Drury farm. The Drury brothers will spend the season trying to put a host of guests and friends on turkey, all in an attempt to earn points in the season-long battle to best their brother. "Anyone who has a brother, they know about that competition against your brother – there's nothing like it," said Terry, 56. "Mark is 10 years younger than me, so there is a pretty good age difference there. But there has always been some level of competition there about everything. "It's no different on King of the Spring. I just want to beat him and he just wants to beat me, no matter what it is." The age difference kept the sibling rivalry at bay during their youth, Mark said. "I really didn't get know Terry very well until I was 18 or 20 years old," Mark said. "I mean, when he was 18 and I was 8. I was the last person in the world he wanted to do anything with. But we've always had sort of a friendly rivalry when it comes to hunting, and it carries over to the show." On the show, Mark heads Team Mad Dog along with longtime friend Steve "Coon Dog" Coon, while Terry is the leader of Team T-Bird with Chris Comstock. During each episode's competition, a variety of guests take part, including stars from the entertainment industry, professional athletes and also other stars from the Outdoor Channel lineup. In addition to hunting turkey, the Drurys and guests also take part in several skill challenges. "It's a lot of fun," Mark said. "But whether we're in a shooting competition or a bow challenge or racing the Dodge Ram trucks, we're trying to win." The turkey season gathering has been a tradition in the Drury family for more than 20 years. And actually, the Drurys' career in video and television hunting series began with a turkey hunt in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas in 1989. "We bought a camera and pulled a camper down there," Terry said. "It was quite a challenge, dropping into an unfamiliar area where we really didn't know much about anything. But we got lucky and got on a real hot turkey. He obviously didn't have a hen – don't know if he had just lost one or what, but he clearly didn't have one. "Mark was able to call it in and we got everything on tape. Everything began right there." Turkey calling has been one of Mark's passions for decades. He became a competitive caller as a youngster and collected more than 150 victories and won six world titles. But, he says, that does not give him or his team any advantage during the competition. "You can't carry those trophies out in the woods with you," Mark said. "I've always been a little more passionate about it (calling), but Terry's quite good at it, too." As for the remainder of King of the Spring's first season, the competition heats up even more. "It definitely gets more intense," Terry said. "I don't want to say things get heated, but there is quite a bit of high drama. Neither side wants to lose, so we all push harder and work harder to win. We think everyone's going to enjoy it."

Max Martini to star in Fifty Shades of Grey
- Bang Showbiz
- 27 November 2013
Max Martini has been cast in 'Fifty Shades of Grey' as Christian Grey's bodyguard Jason Taylor
Max Martini has been cast in 'Fifty Shades of Grey'.
The 43-year-old actor will play Jason Taylor, who is S&M-loving billionaire Christian Grey's bodyguard and head of his security team, in the film adaptation of E. L. James' best-selling novel, according to Deadline.
The 'Pacific Rim' star will appear alongside Jamie Dornan, who plays male lead Christian Grey, and Dakota Johnson, who has been cast as his love interest Anastasia Steele.
Dornan and Johnson are currently preparing for the film's steamy sex scenes and 'The Fall' actor - who is replacing Charlie Hunnam in the film - previously confessed he isn't afraid of tackling the graphic moments.
He said: "I'm a fairly worldly guy. I grew up in a very liberal place. I'm not saying we had a playroom, but I'm not shocked [by the sex in the book]. It's essential to tell the story. I can't believe films that don't invoke the sexual side of it. So it works for me."
Martini - who is a trained theatre, film and TV actor - has previously been cast as former FBI agent Frank Stevens on hit TV series 'Revenge' and a U.S. Navy SEAL commander in 2013 action thriller 'Captain Phillips'.

Political experts say that presidential races have just three defining moments in which candidates can seize the attention of millions of voters and stir new interest in their campaigns.
The first two such moments, the selection of running mates and the party conventions, have passed.
The final phase begins Oct. 3, when President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney meet in the first of three debates in front of a national television audience.
With Obama enjoying a modest lead in the polls, the first debate is widely considered the most crucial, and could set the tone for the others. It is also seen as the president's to lose. That puts much of the pressure on Romney, who has suffered a series of setbacks since the Republican National Convention in late August. Campaign strategists and political scientists say he is running out of time to catch Obama.
For full election coverage visit NBCNews.com.
"This is his final opportunity to make his case when the country is watching," said David Lanoue, a Columbus State University political scientist who has studied presidential debates.
Wednesday's event, to be held in Denver, will follow a traditional debate format, with the candidates answering a moderator's questions on domestic policy. A town hall meeting - in which voters ask the questions – will follow on Oct. 16 in Hempstead, N.Y. The final debate, focusing on foreign policy, takes place Oct. 22 in Boca Raton, Fla.
Vice presidential candidates Joe Biden and Paul Ryan will square off in their own debate Oct. 11 in Danville, K.Y.
After spending much of the weekend preparing for his debate, Romney was set to squeeze in another session in Massachusetts and later in Denver on Monday, The Associated Press reported.
Obama has been prepping in Nevada, and told a high school crowd in Las Vegas that Romney was a "good debater" while he was "just OK."
While opinions vary on how much a debate actually influences a presidential race, the ingredients of this year's campaign - tight polling, a dissatisfied voting public, an energized challenger - indicate that Romney could gain ground if he delivers a knockout performance, some analysts say.
To do that, they say, Romney needs not only to make himself appear as a worthy replacement to Obama, but he also needs to produce a "gotcha" moment that can be used as campaign fodder in the race's final few weeks.
"A strong debate performance – or two, or three – could get Romney right back in the game," Lenoue said.
Republicans point to 1980 as their model. That was when President Jimmy Carter, weakened by a sagging economy and failures abroad, met Republican challenger Ronald Reagan just a week before Election Day. Reagan did splendidly, delivering a few memorable lines, including this question, which would be repeated in myriad political campaigns for years to come: "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" Reagan won in a landslide.
Obama, GOP strategists argue, has vulnerabilities that mirror Carter's.
"I think Gov. Romney needs to make the debate and the election about the president's economic policies," former Romney adviser Brett O'Donnell said. "And if he focuses on the economic policies, and shows the country that he has a better vision and a better prescription for leading the country out of its economic troubles, then he'll win."
Romney enjoys the advantage of having had a lot of practice. During the grueling Republican primary season, he participated in nearly two-dozen debates, although none of them were head-to-head. He generally performed well in all of them. One of his rare miscues came in a parry with Texas Gov. Rick Perry in which Romney, a wealthy former venture capitalist, casually offered to bet Perry $10,000.
Another advantage Romney has is that by simply standing on the same stage as the president he can elevate his public stature.
That is part of the reason why incumbent presidents tend to lose their first debates, experts say.
Everyone expects a sitting leader to win, and anything short of a flawless performance is considered a disappointment. Obama is no different: he is widely seen as a smooth orator and effective debater, but he hasn't had a debate in four years, and is not used to being sharply questioned in public.
"I think the average voter is going into this thinking Obama will be the superior debater, and I don't know that that's true," Lanoue said.
GOP strategist Ron Bonjean added: "The president is probably a little rusty, so it's Romney's job to get under his skin in a way that doesn't look underhanded and drive him to a place where he wants to lecture everyone."
Obama's aides are aware of that weakness, and they've said they're focusing on having him shorten his answers.
Bill Burton, a former Obama spokesman who now runs the pro-Obama Super PAC Priorities USA Action, said the president needs to show that he understands what the middle class is going through. He also needs to take advantage of the fact that Romney is still trying to communicate what kind of president he would be.
"The American people are looking for who's the stronger leader and who's on their side and shares their values," Burton said.
Steve Elmendorf, who has worked on three Democratic presidential campaigns, described Obama's goal more succinctly: Don't screw up.
"Anything from a tie to slight favor for him is good," Elmendorf said.
While Republicans like to draw comparisons to 1980, many scholars see more similarities in the 2004 race, with Sen. John Kerry playing the challenger to beleaguered President George W. Bush. Kerry by most measures won their first debate, that performance is widely regarded as helping him gain in the polls. The race remained neck and neck until Election Day.
In the end, Kerry's debate triumphs didn't matter, though; he lost.
James Stimson, an associate professor of political science at George Washington University, uses that race as an example in his argument for why debates are inconsequential.
Stimson has studied decades of polling data back to 1960, the year of the first televised presidential debate - in which Richard Nixon's sweaty, shifting performance is widely seen as having sunk his chances against John F. Kennedy - and concluded that debates have no discernible impact on a race's outcome.
Yes, debates are watched by tens of millions of people. And, yes, there have been some memorable debates that ended up fitting into the race's final narrative. But the reality, Stimson said, is that by the time the debates happen, most voters have already made up their mind. Undecided voters tend not to tune in.
"The point is, we shouldn't expect the debates to turn the election of 2012," Stimson said. "There is no systematic evidence that debates nudge the polls."
Alan Schroeder, a journalism professor at Northeastern University who has written a book about presidential debates, largely agrees.
"I think most years what happens is debates tend to reinforce perceptions that voters already have, rather than change their minds," he said.
The debates of 1960 and 1980 are exceptions to that rule, Schroeder said. But he added that Romney still has a chance to make 2012 another of those rare cases.
"It's been a pretty rough few weeks for Mitt Romney, in particular since the convention," Schroeder said. "The debate for him is a chance to push that in a different direction."

RAW: ANOTHER UPDATE Jan. 24 Hospital visits restricted to family members as flu cases increase
The flu is hitting Mono County finally and a Mammoth Hospital official said Thursday morning (Jan. 24) that visits to patients at the hospital will be restricted to family members only in an attempt to slow the spread of the flu.
"Due to our increase in influenza patients in the Mono County area, Mammoth Hospital is restricting patient visitors to family members only," said Lori Cicarrelli, the hospital's community relations director, in an email to the Times Thursday. "Please check in at the hospital's front desk or nurses' station when visiting as you will be escorted to the patient's room. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding."
Although California was one of the very last of the states to get hit with this year's potent strain of the influenza virus, the flu has arrived, according to Mono County Public Health Officer Dr. Rick Johnson, who noted there has been a sharp increase this week in flu-positive diagnosis' and hospitalizations.
As of last week, the county was running low on vaccines, but in the past few days, that problem has been alleviated according to health department officials, and officials said they believe there is enough vaccine to meet the anticipated demand.
The flu vaccine increases your chances of not getting the flu by 62 percent, but it takes two weeks to become effective, so if you are considering getting a flu shot, time is critical, Johnson said.
Here's the latest update from the Mono County Public Health Department, as of Wednesday, Jan. 23.
"Over the last week, the Eastern Sierra has been seeing an accelerated increase in flu activity. This is not unexpected, but heightens our concern, and should make us pay attention. We are seeing increased visits to healthcare providers, positive laboratory tests, Emergency Department visits, and hospitalizations. We have not had any deaths attributed to influenza in our area yet. In the nation, over 50% of the hospitalizations, and over 90% of the deaths have been among seniors. However, over 30 children have also died. Recent deaths in Southern California include a 4 year old who died after being taken to the Emergency Room, and a 22 year old who died after a brief hospitalization. Influenza is now considered to be widespread throughout California.
What should you do to reduce your chance of getting sick?
- Most important, get your flu shot. Good news! Recent shipments have now given us an adequate supply to meet the anticipated need. The Health Department, pharmacies, and clinics all have vaccine, even though the demand is high.
- Wash your hands frequently, especially after touching common surfaces such as doorknobs and grocery carts. Keep your hands away from your face.
- Drink plenty of fluids, eat well, get adequate rest.
What should you do if you get sick? If you think you may have the flu,
- Stay home! Do your co-workers or fellow students a favor by not giving them a gift they do not want! Stay home at least until you are fever free without medication for 24 hours.
- Cover your cough with your arm or sleeve.
- Drink plenty of fluids, treat your fever, rest.
- Call your healthcare provider if you are concerned, if your symptoms are severe or fail to improve, especially if you are at higher risk for complications (pregnant, young children, seniors, those with chronic medical conditions such as lung and heart problems, diabetes, kidney disease, immunosuppression).
- Talk to your healthcare provider about an antiviral medication like Tamiflu within 48 hours of getting sick.
- At the provider's office, follow instructions for wearing a mask and washing your hands.
- Ask all personnel interacting with you at the provider's office if they have been immunized. If they have not, request that someone work with you that has received their flu vaccine this season!

CARSON, Calif. – Laurent Courtois had a brief stint with the LA Galaxy in 2013, but he's hopeful that he can remain with the club for yet another season.
In my latest LA Galaxy Year in Review, I discuss Courtois' season that he split between LA and Chivas USA. During this time with the Galaxy, the 35-year-old Courtois tallied two goals and one assist while making 10 appearances in his more than four months with the team.
Although Courtois admitted that he would have liked to have done more for LA, he's optimistic that he'll be able to latch on with the Galaxy for another season as he looks to prolong his career.
"I'm hopeful that there will be more. I don't know, but I know that we'll have some meetings to discuss. I hope to be a part of [the team next year]," said Courtois. "I have an option, but hopefully we'll find an agreement. I still want to play and I think that I can help. …I still enjoy the feeling of playing and really think that I can do well."

Baby Milk Action pdf New York City's campaign against infant formula inspired us to look into the dubious history of this product.
Outrage started in the 1970s, when Nestle was accused of getting third world mothers hooked on formula, which is less healthy and more expensive than breast milk.
The allegations led to hearings in the Senate and the World Health Organization, resulting in a new set of marketing rules.
Yet infant formula remains a $11.5-billion-and-growing market.

Of course, Ticketmaster gets into the act as well by charging 3 sets of fees, instead of just one for the 'package'.Yahoo wrote: He purchased two tickets that were just below the mid-level price for the Winter Classic at $149 each. The fees for the tickets totaled $67.50, he said. Bakley was also forced to buy two tickets to the alumni game (he paid $72 each, plus fees that totaled $32) and two tickets to the Adirondack Phantoms-Hershey Bears AHL game ($33 each, plus fees that totaled $6).
All told, Bakley paid $508 for two tickets to each of the three games. He said he would not have purchased the tickets to the Dec. 31 alumni game or Jan. 6 AHL game if it wasn't mandatory. His fees for the tickets: $105.50.
Add in the fact that the game is on a Monday (Jan 2) and it looks like the NHL is just assuming that the annual outdoor game is the best thing to hit hockey since corporate sponsorship.
I'm guessing that most of you don't really care about the game, since it's usually poor hockey in unsafe conditions, but down here it seems like the one game Americans will tune into. It's a shame that they're doing what they can to once again piss off the real fan base to try to make the game appealing to the masses.
