Elderly lady hopes to thank couple who helped her after Petts Wood fall
Joshua Barrie, reporter / / News
A 79-year-old woman who tripped and fell in Petts Wood is hoping to thank the "kind couple" who helped her.
Betty Callighan, from Oxhawth Crescent, had an accident in Queensway and was help by two fellow shoppers who witnessed the incident.
She said the pathway in question, the forecourt of JJ Minicabs, is "very badly maintained" but does not want to take anything further.
Fortunately Mrs Callighan, who regularly practices Pilates and yoga, was uninjured – though was disappointed to find last week that she misplaced their details before she could get in touch.
She told News Shopper: "I tripped on something and fell flat on my face. I was extremely lucky I was able to get up again, but it wasn't very nice at the time.
"I suffer from osteoporosis. It's a fear for older people they're going to break something. Also, being quite fit and active, it's a real worry I'd have to stop.
"A young couple were sitting in a cafe opposite and they saw what happened – they picked me up and made sure I was okay. They knew First Aid.
"The man offered me his name but now I can't find it."
Mrs Callighan, who had the accident on June 23, added a lady in the cafe also gave her some tea and was really grateful for the community spirit.
Are you the thoughtful pair who helped her up? If so, she would like to make contact. Email firstname.lastname@example.com

Microsoft text and display placements will replace Google ads on Digg, while the social news site will continue to work with Federated Media on integrated sponsorships and custom programs.
Social news site Digg has signed an exclusive advertising agreement with Microsoft for its U.S.-based text and banner ads for the next three years. The deal replaces a previous relationship with Google
By partnering with Microsoft for its ad network sales, Digg will be able to "completely focus on new feature development," said Kevin Rose, founder and chief architect of Digg, on the company's blog. Over the past year Digg has seen tremendous growth, with 4.4 million unique visitors in the U.S. for June 2007, a 222% increase over the same month last year, according to comScore. Internationally Digg had 9.5 million visitors in June, representing 296% growth over the previous year.
"This one is straight forward. It's a great deal for us and we'll be off as quickly as we can selling and serving display banner ads," said Adam Sohn, director, Online Services Group for Microsoft. "They are a very interesting company, and most of Microsoft's employees are deep users of this site."
Digg had previously worked with Google and Federated Media to sell its ads, and it will keep its relationship with the latter for special projects, integrated sponsorships and custom programs. In a blog post, Federated Media founder John Battelle said the deal with Microsoft was not surprising as "It's no secret that Digg is the kind of property -- like Facebook -- that was bound to get the attention of the Big Guys as they continue to play an ever more fascinating game of Internet chess."
Sohn said Microsoft welcomed the opportunity to work with Federated Media on ad representation for Digg.
"Ultimately we'll do the selling for the display and the text stuff and the serving, and Federated Media will do the innovative high touch sponsorship campaigns kinds of things," he said. "Having Federated at the table thinking about the advertising opportunities will be great."
Rose, Battelle and Sohn all compared the deal with a similar agreement Microsoft struck with Facebook. Sohn said the two partnerships were steps in Microsoft's strategy to craft a means of reaching the long tail audience for advertising. Both relationships, he said, support Microsoft's "deep interest in allowing consumers to experience the online world with their relationships close at hand."
"Having a company like Digg that is at the cutting edge of the community driven stuff, and Facebook at the cutting edge of the social networking stuff, that's' where there is the meeting of the minds," he said. "We're doing strategic deals to bring the right audience to bear. We're starting to put some very attractive pieces in place to let digital marketers and publishers really connect with an important and high quality audience."

WHEN HOUSING minister Avraham Ofer committed suicide on the third day of 1977, I
was already a political reporter, with a good few years in the profession behind
me. Yet when I was sent out to cover his funeral and arrived at City Hall, where
the body lay in state, I encountered a difficulty which few of my colleagues
ever did. The cops wouldn't let me near and chased me off saying, "this
is no place for children."My problem was that I looked about
12. I waved my press card in their faces, but to no avail. A few
minutes later, City Hall's glass doors flew open and my then-editor Ari Rath
(who along with Ofer hailed from Kibbutz Hamadiya) peered out and called to the
officers: "It's OK, this child is with me." My embarrassment was now
complete.For one who was for all too many years The Jerusalem Post's
"little girl," it's doubly strange to find myself today the most veteran writer
on its editorial staff. Admittedly, I arrived at the paper a young student, only
looking for occasional freelance work. The fact that I stayed for so long goes
to conclusively corroborate that old Israeli adage that "there's nothing so
permanent as something temporary."As a Dan Region resident, my aim was
to find employment in Tel Aviv, but I somehow had the presence of mind to first
approach the head office in Jerusalem.There I met duty news editor
Charlie Weiss, who looked up briefly with his very blue eyes and upon hearing
that I was thoroughly bilingual, asked if I had time to cover the Jerusalem
Municipal Council session that was slated to begin in 15 minutes. Mayor Teddy
Kollek was supposed to settle some political score there.It seemed
peculiar. Charlie asked me no other question.I was too green and too
eager to be wary, never mind to recognize that I was being … exploited – sort
of. Charlie was short of reporters and I serendipitously walked in off the
street at the last moment. He merely took advantage of an
opportunity.From his vantage point I was better than nothing.I
didn't understand then that Charlie wasn't even testing me. I didn't know that
bilingual staffers were hard to come by and, when found, were kept on as
reporters for as long as feasible. Desk jobs could go to new immigrants whose
English was fine, but whose Hebrew was atrocious. They knew a lot less than
reporters, a fact which skewed the paper's hierarchy and triggered conflicts
aplenty.But being naïve, I went, heard Kollek, took notes, came back and
wrote my report. That inspired Charlie's second and last-ever question to me:
"Why didn't you tell the story chronologically?" I answered that I thought I
should start off with the most interesting tidbit to capture the reader's
interest. He hired me then and there.Charlie instructed me to go down to
the Tel Aviv office and introduce myself to the bureau chief, Macabee Dean. He
warned me not to pay heed to his off-color jokes because "Mac is all bark and no
bite and really the sweetest guy."Were it not for the absence of
fly-paper, I could swear that I had stumbled into a ramshackle establishment
deep in the Mississippi boondocks.Dean sat in his undershirt, with his
feet on the desk, swaying to the rhythms of "Hang down your head Tom Dooley." I
was greeted with an American-accented dirty joke and Dean's promise to "make a
man of this little girl." I was also forthwith nicknamed "Buttons" because of
the shape of my nose.The Tel Aviv office was then located in the heart
of town – on the corner of Nahalat Binyamin and Yehuda Halevi streets, right
behind Allenby Road's old central post office, an urban landmark in its
day.I found myself in a vibrant newsroom, unlike anything in existence
in this age of hi-tech gadgets which spare reporters the need to ever put in an
appearance, and which facilitate filing from anywhere.Although spacious,
our newsroom was crammed with rickety wooden desks in varying stages of
disrepair.On each was perched a typewriter, each a relic of a different
era. My first one was a genuine antique – an American Underwood with see-through
glass sides. It was followed by a Hungarian wonder, whose keys featured
non-English instructions, sufficiently suggestive of four-letter English
expletives to elicit nonstop hilarity from Dean.In time I would learn
that these exemplars of yesteryear's technology actually put the Post right on
the cutting edge of the day. In Davar, for instance, they kept on scribbling by
pen, well beyond the advent of the personal computer.The Post, in fact,
would – years later – become the first Israeli newspaper to resort to computer
innovations, and I'd become the first Israeli journalist to work from home
before the Internet. That was after I had given birth and was legally due leave
time, but my editors decided they couldn't spare me – the law of the land
notwithstanding.They had our Washington stringer smuggle through customs
a RadioShack Tandy which showed one line of text only at a time and had no hard
disk. It featured a flexible cup contraption that fitted over the mouthpiece of
the telephone (landline, of course) to transmit scant amounts of data.I
was left with a thick instruction manual which I had to master on my own. In
time, word got round to the Journalists Association and I was roped into
teaching numerous other reporters, on many other news outlets, how to use the
rudimentary harbingers of today's laptop.But I'm getting way ahead of
myself. Back in the antediluvian day, long before the microchip and printed
circuits came to dominate our lives, what placed the Post in the technological
vanguard more than anything else was our in-house telex setup.It was
necessitated by the fact that we had to send our material to the news desk in
Jerusalem. This was another Jerusalem Post anomaly. In those days 80 percent of
our news copy was generated in Tel Aviv, but was edited and printed in
Jerusalem. This imposed on us – the only Jerusalem-based daily – much earlier
deadlines than those of all the other Israeli papers.We had to get our final product down to Tel Aviv in time for distribution with
all the Tel Avivian Hebrews.Transcribing texts by telex was the
exclusive preserve of Indian-born Aharon Khermoush, who ran his royal realm
high-handedly. He was one of those uncommon types who could forever remember any
phone number he ever came across and could spell flawlessly (while the
then-obligatory British spelling, usage and idioms bedeviled many of us). He had
a field day with each of our typos and announced them crowingly to the entire
newsroom."Can't spell, can't spell," he'd roar with relish at Mac, who
could always be counted upon for a clever retort.Next on the funny-bone
tickling scale was our late military correspondent Ze'ev (Wolfgang) Schul who
daily regaled us, in detail, with tales of exploits we never heard of (and never
quite wanted to hear). Ze'ev was the macho-man of the bunch and the one who
called me Meida'le (little girl in Yiddish) in addition to Buttons.It
emerged that we lived in close proximity, which meant that he would drive me
home before I got my own license. Ze'ev, a Yekke transplanted in his youth from
Germany to the Galilee village of Migdal, was one of the most dominant and
effervescent voices in our newsroom. The repartee between him and Mac kept most
of us in stitches, but not Mark Segal.Mark, my political guru, was a
pedantic writer, always searching for the perfect pun or turn of phrase. The
newsroom's juvenile hijinks interfered with his concentration. "Can't we have
some decorum around here?" he'd repeatedly exclaim in his British intonation.
Inevitably, this only made Mac and Ze'ev all the more boisterous.Mark
seemed unwelcoming when I first walked in. "Oh, that's just what we need,
a little girl," he sneered. In time, though, he became a fixture in our home. He
was a frequent visitor, mostly unannounced. He came over and sat around
with my parents. He exchanged recipes with my mother, which was odd,
because she wasn't much of a cook and couldn't stand the kitchen.But no
matter, Mark was soon part of the household and the mentor to whom I'll forever
remain grateful. However, he's not the only one I owe so much
to.Sraya Shapiro was the doyen of the crew and the senior political
correspondent. He was an Israeli, educated at Tel Aviv's Gymnasia Herzliya, a
former Hagana intelligence officer, a master-photographer, very erudite, an
incomparable font of historical information and – justifiably – a tad cynical.
He made his professional name in the defunct Haboker and kept warning me: "Don't
show the Anglos in Jerusalem that you know more than them, or they'll get you.
They hate the bloody natives."Sraya, jaded by the time I showed up, did
his darndest to avoid assignments. On my second day in the Post's Tel Aviv
office he dumped on me the task of covering a speech by then-premier Levi
Eshkol. Sraya thereupon recommended to all and sundry that I should do
politics.But it was hardly that obvious to others. In those
pre-politically correct times, the Post actually featured a "Woman's Page." The
assumption was that politics constituted a male domain. This was despite the
fact that editor Ted Lurie's deputy was the remarkable Lea Ben-Dor, whom I
admired unreservedly and who would herself assume the Post's editorship in
1974. But she was considered a singular case, apart from other females –
much like Golda Meir in Israeli politics.The Woman's Page was run by the
indomitable Helen Rossi in Jerusalem. Her Tel Aviv second-in-command was
Helga Dudman, as nonconformist a character as anyone is likely to meet – except
in her conviction that gender had earmarked me incontrovertibly for the Woman's
Page. Despite my protests, Helga dispatched me to cover a fashion show organized
by Ruth Dayan. I couldn't care less and my copy reflected it.Our
consumerism expert, Martha Meisels, worked with Helga and Helen, but understood
me wholeheartedly and backed my resolve not to be boxed in against my will.
Martha would spend untold hours researching the minutiae of a newfangled laundry
detergent or breakfast cereal. She became a formidable authority of the sort
Israel hasn't known since her premature death in 1995.There just never
was anyone else like the accomplished Radcliffe alumna whose "Marketing with
Martha" column remains legend.In those early days she also had many news
beats that I took over before she went on maternity leave. But consumer affairs
remained her select specialty. No one was temperamentally suited to follow in
her footsteps.We quickly bonded, became fast friends and when, a couple
of months later, Martha gave birth to Tammy, I was the one who helped her take
the newborn to the clinic for regular checkups.We were virtual family
for the next few decades. Martha was my closest friend, truly like a
sister. We had something else in common. We absolutely didn't moonlight. I was
at first mystified by how my material – especially scoops on the incipient
struggle of Soviet Jewry – would make it to the wires before publication in the
Post. After a while, I figured it out.Many of our reporters were in the
unofficial employ of one news agency or another, and leaked
profusely.But not only reporters. One evening I caught Khermoush, whom
I'd never remotely suspect, reciting in his distinctive Bombay inflection
directly from the tickertape to someone on the phone.Khermoush, it
transpired, was the Agence France- Presse man in our newsroom. He wasn't
taken aback by my discovery. "Buttons, you're one of us now," he proclaimed
patronizingly. "You may look like a little girl, but you're no longer a
naïve little girl."Still, I was little girl enough to have contracted
the measles during my first year at the Post. Ari nearly blew a gasket when he
saw that my doctor's note was from the politically wrong sick fund – Kupat Holim
Leumit."What?!" he screamed at me red in the face, "You are a Herutnik?
One of them? That's unacceptable!" He inquired in disbelief: "Maccabi isn't good
enough for you?" Livid, Ari then categorically ordered me to "switch to the
Histadrut right now." Little girl though I was, I stood my ground and
talked back, which launched a prolonged political standoff. But that's a
whole other opera.

The Crack Cocaine of Democracy
Original post made by Stacey, Amberwood/Wood Meadows, on Jul 17, 2009
Those familiar with my past writing here already understand my attitude towards California's initiative system. I'm glad to see the media starting to bring attention to it.
"Ballot initiatives, the crack cocaine of democracy, have left only around a quarter of its budget within the power of its representative politicians."

Many ballot initiatives would not be necessary if the legislators were doing their jobs. Most of the people in California are to blame for voting these bozos into office in the first place, so now the chickens are coming home to roost.
Thank God that we have a 2/3 majority requirement for approving additional taxes. Imagine how high our tax burden would be if the majority party could ram through all the tax increases they think they need.........

We should get rid of all of our elected officials and just vote twice per year via the internet on issues. We are one of the very few who have fulltime legislatures and see the waste they are?

Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, Canada
Skeletal Muscle is a peer-reviewed, open access, online journal that publishes articles investigating molecular mechanisms underlying the biology of skeletal muscle. A wide range of skeletal muscle biology is included: development, metabolism, the regulation of mass and function, aging, degeneration, dystrophy and regeneration. The emphasis is on understanding adult skeletal muscle, its maintenance, and its interactions with non-muscle cell types and regulatory modulators.
Skeletal Muscle is an exciting new journal that will provide a home for our field and facilitate better dissemination of our research.
After receiving his PhD from the University of Ottawa in 1988, Dr Rudnicki undertook post-doc work at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Whitehead Institute with Dr Rudolf Jaenisck. In 1992 he was appointed Assistant Professor at McMaster University, before joining the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute in 2000, where he is currently Senior Scientist and Director of the Regenerative Medicine Program and the Sprott Centre for Stem Cell Research. He is a Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Ottawa and is the Scientific Director of the Canadian Stem Cell Network.
Dr Rudnicki has published over 200 articles and has been awarded many honors, including the Canada Research Chair in Molecular Genetics (2001-current), and is an International Research Scholar of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He has been a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada since 2006.
Dr Rudnicki's laboratory works to understand the molecular mechanisms that regulate the determination, proliferation, and differentiation of stem cells during embryonic development and during tissue regeneration. They identified Pax7 as a transcription factor required for the specification of satellite cells, and identified Wnt signaling as playing an important role in muscle stem cell function.

The Undiscovered Country and Yesterday's Enterprise
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country ends with the Federation and the Klingons signing the Khitomer Accords, thus leading into a new era of peace and cooperation between the two states. But TNG "Yesterday's Enterprise" earlier established that only 20+ years before the TNG era, relations between the Federation and the Empire were still pretty rocky and tenuous, with ties only really strengthening due to the sacrifice of the Enterprise-C in defending the Klingon colony from Romulan aggression. So how did they get from A to B, so to speak?
Re: The Undiscovered Country and Yesterday's Enterprise
A treaty doesn't automatically reverse decades of hostility and distrust. We have little information of what went on between TUC and YE, shifts in the internal politics of the Empire or Federation could have caused strains in their relationship.
The sacrifice of the E-C (a famous name to the Klingons as well) would show the Empire just how dedicated the UFP was to the alliance, that it wasn't just some kind of lip service as a means to keep the peace.
Re: The Undiscovered Country and Yesterday's Enterprise
Star Trek VI ignored "Yesterday's Enterprise". Voyager's "Flashback" later tried to smooth things over by having Tuvok the events of STVI the "first Klingon/Federation peace treaty"
Remember, the STVI writers originally planned to end the movie with a scene where Kirk and crew "hand over the keys" to the crew of The Next Generation, oblivious to the fact that they're different Enterprises in different eras.
Re: The Undiscovered Country and Yesterday's Enterprise
So what could have caused the first treaty to break down?
Re: The Undiscovered Country and Yesterday's Enterprise
As far as how they got from A to B, Bry_Sinclair is right. I would also point out that Star Trek VI itself suggests that the road to true peace will be a rocky one in that the conspiracy was so wide-reaching that it had members from Starfleet, the Klingons, and the Romulans. This suggests that there was a significant minority (possibly even a majority) against peace. The unveiling of the conspiracy would only calm things for a while and silence detractors temporarily. There would almost certainly still be people in high positions on both sides just waiting for opportunities to weaken or end the peace not to mention the Romulans who would do their best to wreck the peace as well.
Re: The Undiscovered Country and Yesterday's Enterprise
Re: The Undiscovered Country and Yesterday's Enterprise
I mean, look at the USA and Russia. The Cold War ended roughly two decades ago, but it's not as though America and Russian are in perfect harmony these days! :)
Re: The Undiscovered Country and Yesterday's Enterprise
It's entirely possible that the Klingons saw the Khitomer accords as a way to buy themselves some time to get into a more tactically advantageous position against the Federation.
But as the Federation made further efforts, and particular the loss of the E-C, the Klingons started to see the Federation as an honourable ally.
Re: The Undiscovered Country and Yesterday's Enterprise
A peace treaty isn't a treaty of friendship or alliance. It just means there isn't a state of war between the groups anymore. The Organian treaty seems to have merely been a cease-fire - the war technically went on, with any contact assumed to be likely hostile. Even as the Ent-A was on a diplomatic mission, specifically meeting a specific ship at a specific time to specifically pick up the Klingon Chancellor specifically for a peaceful, diplomatic mission (specifically), there was a good bit of tension at first.
Knowing the Klingons, as soon as they got their own house in order, they would go back to their old ways. It seems the YE events were the normal order of things - eventually, the Klingons would deal with Praxis, build up their military again, and eventually clash with the Federation, because that's what Klingons do. I've never really thought about it before, but it's possible the Galaxy-class was designed so powerfully with full expectation of fighting the Klingons - that's why it's mostly the same in YE as it is in the normal show. But, the sacrifice of the Ent-C was so significant that it caused the Klingons to actually be impressed with Starfleet, and so the alliance was formed (as the Klingons will apparently be buddies with any honorable warriors, as long as they aren't actively fighting, which would explain the Klink-Rommie TOS alliance and subsequent falling apart); which seems to be pretty new in TNG, so it still took a while to get to that point. Without the anti-Klingon mission, the Galaxy could be repurposed into a more exploratory, diplomatic mission.
Also, they seem to think of treaties as mere suggestions, or relationships, not contracts. As soon as the Chancellor feels like the Empire has been slighted (dishonored), he can call off the treaty with a word - and then, once he's feeling better about the opponent, he will just state the treaty is back in force! (The diplomats and lawyers must really hate dealing with Klingons.) Even in TNG the Klingons in general were seen as a potential threat - not necessarily the whole Empire, but any BoP could have a captain that would do something stupid for glory and honor - and the Empire would disavow any responsibility.
Re: The Undiscovered Country and Yesterday's Enterprise
'Yesterday's enterprise' made clear enough what happened between Khitomer and Narendra III:
Khitomer turned a cold war into a frozen war.
The situation deteriorated without enterprise c's sacrifice for the klingons.
Open war broke out.
The klingons bitch-slapped the federation.
Details beyond these are nowhere established.
A probable scenario:
A large part of the fleet was mothballed after TUC (as per canon TUC, this was implied to be a serious possibility - and not contradicted).
The klingons recover from Praxis.
Starfleet training is reorganised to limit military training, to instill in starfleet personnel a distaste toward honing one's military skills.
This is made obvious in Picard, Riker's (leaders of THE top starfleet crew) behaviour from 'Peak performance'. See also Picard, Riker's airhead combat performance in episodes like 'Rascals' and others, proving they cannot use effectively the combat capabilities of their ship.
No Narendra III. The situation between the klingons and the federation deteriorates.
As per 'Yesterday's enterprise', the klingons killed 40 billion. You can't do that by killing merely military personnel.
Most likely, the klingons massed their forces for a surprise attack. Starfleet intelligence, as redundantly shown in canon, was/is utterly incompetent and failed to discover this.
The klingons launched their attack, destroying many federation worlds with populations numbering in the billions, eliminating large parts of the federation infrastructure.
By the time starfleet manages to mass its dispersed fleet to respond/starfleet officers manage to come up with behaviour distinguishable from utter incompetence, the klingons have a substantial advantage.
The federation is incapable of recovering during the war. Perhaps because many worlds seceded from the federation, not wanting to be the next world the klingons burn to a crisp. This is even more probable when one considers how different the cultures of the federation member worlds are.
Re: The Undiscovered Country and Yesterday's Enterprise
Re: The Undiscovered Country and Yesterday's Enterprise
Check out the Treaty of Versailles and try to imagine yourself being a German patriot or any patriot. It was extremely humiliating, considered outrageously unfair by the German population and when Hitler came to power he reversed the effects of the treaty step by step and - like Khan - gave Germany order. Unfortunately he didn't stop there but was seeking revenge.
Re: The Undiscovered Country and Yesterday's Enterprise
Care to mention exactly what was considered 'outrageously unfair' in the Treaty of Versailles? As opposed to other treaties signed throughout history.
Or tell how exactly were Hitler's actions justified - at any time? When was that period of Hitler the hero?
Re: The Undiscovered Country and Yesterday's Enterprise
BTW, a treaty is by definition a "means of willing parties assuming obligations among themselves, and a party to either that fails to live up to their obligations can be held liable under international law." (Wikipedia)
When you dictate conditions to a defeated country, that has no other choice but to accept the terms, it can hardly be called a "treaty".
I know that´s not to the point of this thread, but I wanted to comment anyway.
Re: The Undiscovered Country and Yesterday's Enterprise
As for the financial aspect. The UK helped to rid Europe of Nazism, it was the last nation standing against the tide until Roosevelt could wake America up to the threat. Our reward? We too only finished paying off our war debt around 2010. I suppose we could whine that it was "unfair" because we were "the good guys"! But we just got on with it.
The fact that Versailles was too harsh and lead to the rise of Hitler and WWII is well documented, but to whine that it was "unfair" and argue that Hitler was some kind of hero?! I just hope that has been lost in translation.
I know that none of this is the point of this thread, but I wanted to comment anyway.

Happy Aug. 10, y'all!
Here's what's up in and about the north country.
Wind power
Few answers for St. Lawrence County towns.
Be rational
Gov. Andrew Cuomo signs so-called rational tuition plan into law.
Verizon says striking union workers may have sabotaged phone lines, causing outages in the north country.
Your tax dollars at work (in the Hudson Valley)
A state authority OK'ed a deal to send money from the Black River to the Hudson River parts of a state authority. My giant head/self appears at 0:14 in this story. Also, if you're interested in how geography affects journalism, check out Albany's angle.
Fuel efficiency
In the north country, which I believe is probably the pickup-truck capital of the world, this story will probably be important.
National Popular Vote
California did what state Sen. Joe Griffo was unable to do (because Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver didn't want to, I'm told): it approved a plan to send its electoral votes to whoever wins the popular vote nationwide.
Super committee
Harry Reid makes his picks. Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand didn't make the cut.
The State Department is critical of new settlements. Rep. Bill Owens is in Israel now.
WI recall
Republicans lost two seats, but not control of the state Senate there.
Mr. Cuomo is looking into the possibility of legalizing non-Indian casinos in the state, a move sure to anger the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe in St. Lawrence County.
The stock market had a late rally yesterday, but as this New York Post cover so deftly and tastefully explains, they were up and down all day. We'll see what happens today.
The rally came on the heels of an announcement from the Fed that interest rates would stay at historic lows until 2013.
Thanks, but no thanks
Kansas is returning a $31.5 million grant that was part of President Obama's health care overhaul.
The gas industry is pushing back on Comptroller Tom DiNapoli's newest proposal.
Post offices
NNY post offices received their notifications of closure.

A systemic review of studies validating the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale in antepartum and postpartum women
ABSTRACT The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is the most widely used screening tool for postpartum depression (PPD). We systematically reviewed the published evidence on its validity in detecting PPD and antepartum depression (APD) up to July 2008.
Systematic review of validation studies of the EPDS included 1987-2008. Cut-off points of 9/10 for possible PPD, 12/13 for probable PPD and 14/15 for APD were used.
Thirty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria. Sensitivity and specificity of cut-off points showed marked heterogeneity between different studies. Sensitivity results ranged from 34 to 100% and specificity from 44 to 100%. Positive likelihood ratios ranged from 1.61 to 78.
Heterogeneity among study findings may be due to differences in study methodology, language and diagnostic interview/criteria used. Therefore, the results of different studies may not be directly comparable and the EPDS may not be an equally valid screening tool across all settings and contexts.

- "Although designed for postnatal women it is commonly used and is well validated for use in pregnant women to screen for depression (Gibson et al., 2009). The EPDS is validated for use as a continuous measure of depressive symptoms (Gibson et al., 2009) with an acceptable Chronbach's alpha of .80 (Brouwers et al., 2001b). Possible total scores range from 0 to 30. "
ABSTRACT: as concern for increasing rates of caesarean section and interventions in childbirth in Western countries mounts, the utility of the risk approach (inherent in the biomedical model of maternity care) is called into question. The theory of salutogenesis offers an alternative as it focuses on the causes of health rather than the causes of illness. Sense of coherence (SOC), the cornerstone of salutogenic theory, is a predictive indicator of health. We hypothesised that there is a relationship between a woman׳s SOC and the childbirth choices she makes in pregnancy. the study aims to investigate the relationship between SOC and women׳s pregnancy and anticipated labour choices. A cross sectional survey was conducted where eligible women completed a questionnaire that provided information on SOC scores, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression (EPDS) scores, Support Behaviour Inventory (SBI) scores, pregnancy choices and demographics. 1074 pregnant women completed the study. Compared to women with low SOC, women with high SOC were older, were less likely to identify pregnancy conditions, had lower EPDS scores and higher SBI scores. SOC was not associated with women׳s pregnancy choices. this study relates SOC to physical and emotional health in pregnancy as women with high SOC were less likely to identify pregnancy conditions, had less depressive symptoms and perceived higher levels of support compared to women with low SOC. Interestingly, SOC was not associated with pregnancy choices known to increase normal birth rates. More research is required to explore the relationship between SOC and women׳s birthing outcomes.

- "Our results indicated that cutoffs Z11 for the EPDS, Z15 for the BDI and Z9 for the HAM-D would be the optimal values for determining whether an individual should be referred to a professional for diagnostic confirmation. Differences in the prevalence, methodology, language, culture, diagnostic interviews and decision-making criteria used across study samples could be responsible for the variability in recommended cut-off scores (Halbreich and Karkun, 2006; Gibson et al., 2009). Our results may apply only to the second trimester of pregnancy in Brazil and must be interpreted in consideration of certain limitations. "
ABSTRACT: Antenatal depression (AD) can have devastating consequences. No existing scales are specifically designed to measure it. Common practice is to adapt scales originally developed for other circumstances. We designed this study to validate and determine the psychometric values for AD screening in Brazil. We collected clinical and socio-demographic data in the second gestational trimester. The following instruments were also administered during that period: MINI-PLUS, EPDS, BDI and HAM-D. At the time of assessment, 17.34% of the patients were depressed, and 31.98% met the diagnostic criteria for lifetime major depression. All instruments showed an area under the curve in a receiver operating characteristic analysis greater than 0.85, with the BDI achieving a 0.90 and being the best-performing screening instrument. A score ≥11 on the EPDS (81.58% sensitivity, 73.33% specificity), ≥15 on the BDI (82.00% sensitivity, 84.26% specificity) and ≥9 on the HAM-D (87.76% sensitivity, 74.60% specificity) revealed great dichotomy between depressed and non-depressed patients. Spearman׳s rank correlation coefficients (ρ) among the scales had good values (EPDS vs. BDI 0.79; BDI vs. HAM-D 0.70, and EPDS vs. HAM-D 0.67). This study was transversal, assessing only women in the second gestational trimester. Results may be applicable only to the Brazilian population since psychometric properties may vary with the population under study. Major depression can amplify somatic symptomatology, affecting depressive rating scale data. AD is highly prevalent in Brazil. To address the problem of under-recognition, physicians can use the EPDS, BDI and HAM-D to identify AD. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier B.V.

- "The shorter EPDS-3, although not a measure of depression severity, is considered a reliable screening tool to detect depression (Kabir et al. 2008). The EPDS is available in many languages (Gibson et al. 2009). The SPS has been used with mothers (Letourneau et al. 2011) and has strong validity and reliability (Cultrona & Russell 1987). "
Article: Quasi-experimental evaluation of a telephone-based peer support intervention for maternal depression[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate the effect of telephone-based peer support on maternal depression and social support BACKGROUND: Postpartum depression is a global health concern and lack of treatment options mean many mothers are depressed beyond the first year after birth. Strong evidence has shown telephone-based peer support, provided by a mother recovered from depression, effectively improves depression outcomes. This model has not been tested with mothers with depression any time up to two years postpartum. Quasi-experimental, one group pre-test, posttest. The study population was mothers in New Brunswick, Canada with depression up to 24 months after delivery. The sample (N = 64) was recruited between May 2011-October 2013. Peer volunteers recovered from postpartum depression were trained and delivered an average of 8·84 (Range 1-13) support telephone calls. Depression and social support outcomes were assessed at intervention mid-point (average 7·43 weeks, n = 37) and end (average 13·9 weeks, n = 34). Mean depression significantly declined from baseline, 15·4 (N = 49), to mid-point, 8·30 and end of the study, 6·26. At mid-point 8·1% (n = 3/37) of mothers were depressed and at endpoint 11·8% (4/34) were depressed suggesting some relapse. Perceptions of social support significantly improved and higher support was significantly related with lower depression symptoms. Findings offer promise that telephone-based peer support is effective for both early postpartum depression and maternal depression up to two years after delivery. © 2015 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.Journal of Advanced Nursing 02/2015; 71(7).

This is a lovely place although about 10 miles out of town. There is a free managers drink and food night from Monday to Thursday and is really good value.

'Where were you when?'
Four am, or is it 5,6, who knows. Are we on New York time, Chicago time, who cares! What is important is this is the first day of the fourth ashes test. I awoke at 5 New York time, it's an hour too early, it's only really 4 here in Montgomery, we're on Chicago time. All we want to do is listen to the start of the match. Eventually we tune in (if …
Genuinely sorry to leave Savannah
... start at 5am tomorrow Chicago time. WHAT, CHICAGO TIME! Oh I am so sorry, I feel so guilty toward my girl friend, it appeared on our journey east that the clocks had gone back 1 hour, no wonder she kept telling us we would arrive at 2.30. No wonder our room wasn't ready, we were too early. How do I apologise to a silicon chip, perhaps I will charge her tonight wether she needs it or not and hope she awakes and forgives the doubt I had towards her ...
Overnight in Montgomery and on to Charlotte
We stayed overnight in Montgomery AL and grabbed breakfast at the old standby Cracker Barrel. Now we're heading straight for Charlotte which is about 6 hours away. I booked my first AirBNB booking at a nice house on a lake not too far from the airport. Hoping it's as nice as it ...

... the last night before our destination for Moira's graduation events. We'll be further out of Atlanta/Marietta so hope this doesn't get too be too much work. Sara made a hair cut appointment for me on Thursday at the Ave. old stomping grounds at WS. I'm hoping to get to Decatur to see friends. Interesting that I want to see friends I only knew for 2 years compared to those I knew in our subdivision for ...

Attractive capital but rather quiet. Interesting history, Confederate and Civil War buildings. Civil rights march finished and the Capital. Rosa Parks museum remembers her role in refusing to give up her seat to a white person and being arrested for it. This led to ...

NEW YORK — Alex Ovechkin was trying desperately to get to the front of the Washington net late in regulation with the score tied at 2 in Game 3 of this Eastern Conference quarterfinal series. In an attempt to swipe the puck out of danger, though, the Capitals' star left wing accidentally tipped it into the net for what proved to be the game-winning tally for the New York Rangers.
Ovechkin lay on the ice, head resting on top of his arms, motionless as Madison Square Garden erupted in celebration of the Rangers' 3-2 victory. The win puts New York back in this first-round matchup and cuts Washington's lead to two games to one.
