EOF - Faster Training for Smarter Customers
More is involved in information transparency than mere software. In Mountain View, California, we are working on new methods of training using open course materials. The Freedom Technology Center (FTC) is an educational organization founded to provide high-level technical training to local and on-line communities. The curriculum is based on freely available technical courseware and software courses derived from free software or open-source software projects. What follows is an introduction to FTC and a brief report on what we are doing.
Doc Searls points out that IT is being driven more and more from the demand side, and that's the direction from which we approach training. We understand the trend of empowerment that open-source software is a part of, and we are designing training programs to fit into that paradigm. These days, virtually any IT task can be tackled by a smart self-learner who receives a good introduction from a professional. According to the MIT OCW Program Evaluation Findings Report (March 2004), self-learners are far and away the largest group using freely available training materials. FTC is here to give self-learners a solid introduction and, in many cases, a working sandbox. We kickstart self-learners on the road to competence with freely available tools, training and courseware.
For public benefit, we host free training events to boost awareness and competence on open technical courseware. This is the fun part. We have hosted free training events on spam filtering, trusted computing and open hardware. We ran a book donation drive for the Linux Users Group of Iraq and fund-raisers for FTC and the Free Software Foundation (FSF). As a rule, we try to support Linux users groups and organizations, such as the FSF and Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) wherever we can. In short, we support the generation, dissemination, preservation and protection of technical knowledge whenever possible.
We also kickstart corporate self-learners, providing high-quality, hands-on, modular courses. This is the hard work that keeps our lights on. The only way for us to compete is our quality. FTC offers the highest quality training experience available on the topics that we instruct. Our method is first to identify and recruit the single best trainer for each training class we offer. Our instructors all have written the book on their given topic. With the best possible instructor on a topic, and an all-inclusive, hands-on, practical offering, we keep quality at a maximum. We're not the cheapest for corporate training, but in general, if we can't be the best, we don't offer the course. Lucky for us, high-quality trainers seem to like our style.
Geographically, we serve the local technical community in Northern California and a larger on-line community that can access our course notes over the Internet. Our trainers take paid training courses on the road, matching free seminars for users groups and tradeshows on open courseware with paid events for professional users. If we administer it right, we can offer a self-funding free training event or two in any metropolitan area.
Content-wise, we're focusing on open-source applications that people are using in business right now, and that means Samba and OpenLDAP. We have Linux certification and spam-filtering courses, and we are adding modules covering mail and Web serving. Courses on Linux telephony and security issues will be available soon.
Without profit as our prime motive, we're not bound to train using traditional methods or business models. We can explore new technologies and teaching methods. Right now we're working on a model for training whole IT departments called Immersion Training. We have a lot of experience training in corporate environments, and we think the most efficient way to do that is to drop a training team into a company to merge with an IT team and lead it through the design and implementation of new infrastructure, hands-on. When we get there, the team has no infrastructure or training, but when we leave, it has a basic infrastructure and a completely trained and supported staff, with complete documentation of an entire modular, testable process.
Another thing we've been thinking about is how to get corporate trainers to develop and use open courseware. We think corporate trainers should be hired to customize and teach open courseware for their corporate clients. Open courseware is a great marketing tool for trainers, and more trainers should do it. There really is no financial downside for technical trainers if they know how to market their courseware. But we're not simply discussing the economics of new training models that use open courseware, we're proving them viable.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Hostels, in Danville, are accomodation houses, often associated with one of the educational institutes in Danville for students who come from distant places and also provide food to them. They are usually charged a nominal amount for such facilities. While lack of privacy is a disadvantage of hostel life, the association, self-sufficiency & maturity learned in this life, are assets to an individual's journey.

Are you kidding me. What is wrong with this POS? There has to be something really bad in the cards for these guys for any stock to crater this badly in one day!
That's the whole point. There's no objective reason why this stock should be down 10% in a day. People are not thinking clearly, but panicking. The market is telling us nothing that is associated with clear,logical thinking. I currently hold $835,000 in five commercial reits-AHR,CSE,NRF,GKK, and RSO. Can anyone tell me why that is a bad investment for the long term? None of these fine companies have posted poor results to date, and defaults are near all time lows. I expect distressed commercial loans to increase, but not nearly to the degree we are seeing in their residential equivalents. I'm considering buying more tomorrow. At 28-30% dividend, the risk seems worth it, particularly since I plan never to sell them.
I suppose there are some of us that can never comprehend the "shorting" mentality that drives some of these stocks down. If this was an isolated case, one could assume that something was drastically wrong with this company. I am very much in your boat with holdings in RAIT, NRO and some others..there is no logical explanation why say NRO is trading way below NAV and getting hammered everyday. UNLESS there is some bigtime conspiracy where the Gordon Geckos of the world are intentionally running these things down so they can scoop them up at a discount. I'd almost want to add to my position some more..but did around 3 (EST) today and then watched it drop an additional 5%...and that ain't good.
From what I see, GKK and RSO are the first two mREITs to report earnings. GKK dropped 9.96% today, and RSO dropped 10.16% today. I believe that fears of holding mREITs through earnings are contributing to the sharp sales, but please do not hesitate to suggest alternate reasons.

Shure E3c
- Sound great for the price
- Slow bass
Bottom Line
Bordering on the entry-level, the Shure E3c make a great choice for solid, all around sound.
Price$ 325.00 (AUD)
Best Deals (Selling at 2 stores)
For most people, listening to different pairs of headphones and swapping them in and out for comparative purposes would rapidly degenerate into boredom and just result in a case of "they all sound the same!". Fortunately, for freaks like us this is a blissful experience. Not only do we get to listen to music for a few hours, but we get to hear it through a selection of the best audio products around.
The Shure E3c IEMs (In Ear Monitors) sound pretty much exactly like we expected them to, that is, they sound wonderful. Falling into the mid range of the Shure lineup, sonically they stack up exactly where they should, behind the E4c but ahead of the E2c. Their sound was quite airy as opposed to the in your face presentation of some other IEMs (or would that be 'in your ear presentation'?).
We felt the range of sounds was quite well balanced, with a slight emphasis on the mids. The big differences between the E4c and E3c lie in the bass and overall clarity of sound. The E3c retains the brilliant detail of its brother, revealing all the intricacies you never realized your songs had. The resolving qualities are a big selling point of this model. The bass was also much more prevalent than on the E4c (our big criticism of that model) which gives a more complete sound.
The downside to all this is that the quality of sound was lower than the E4c. It was still exceptional when compared to other models in the price bracket, but when you switch between the two you notice a slight loss of clarity. The bass on the E3c is also a little slow for our taste (slow means the sound idles for longer), but some people prefer the warmer, darker sound. Soundstage was fairly typical, a medium sized hall or large room style presentation, perhaps the weakest musical element of this model.
Comfort-wise we found the E3c to be the best of the IEMs we used (along with the E4c). It sports the most minimalist design, with no large driver units that sit in the outer ear, just a slim tube that has virtually no presence at all, save for the tip which sits in the ear canal. We wore them for several hours at a time and suffered no pain as a result (unlike the E5c).
The in-ear nature of the E3c makes it a great noise canceling choice like its IEM brethren. The seal we created between our ear and the outside world was quite solid, letting no noise in when music was playing and very minimal noise in periods of silence. Whilst not the best noise canceling IEM we have used, it is still extremely effective, to the point that we were actually using them as earplugs during a recent fire alarm incident at work (don't ask).

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.

The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.

My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

SFCF Coaching Spotlight – Sean McBride
Hi San Francisco CrossFit – I'm back!
For those of you who remember the parking lot days; hey, what's up? Missed you. For those who have joined the gym in the last couple years, I am a new face – let me (re)introduce myself.
I am a physical therapist and coach. I lived in San Francisco from 2011-14 while attending PT school at UCSF/SFSU. During that time I was a regular fixture at the gym. (I was stalking Kelly). I coached from 2012-14, which allowed me to put into practice the movement ideas I was learning in the classroom, while developing a special understanding of the potential of human performance. My goal has always been to become a physio-coach, combining the best aspects of physical therapy and strength and conditioning. Kelly has been my mentor and role model through this process and returning to San Francisco is a sweet homecoming for me.
The reason that I left was to take a year long clinical residency with the Kaiser Southern California Orthopedic Physical Therapy program. This is the oldest and most prestigious residency program in the US focusing on developing skilled practitioners. Over the course of a year we took over 30 weekends of continuing education, which is roughly 30 times the minimum standard of continuing education for PTs. In addition to this we received mentoring and feedback from highly experienced PTs, which was ruthless and fantastic.
My best comparison for the residency program is boot camp. No one goes to boot camp for fun, you do it to become an expert at your job. It was a long, hard year immersed in a different world than CrossFit. But I am better for it and can really appreciate how amazing it is to come to work everyday in a place like San Francisco CrossFit where I get to work with people I love, admire, and do the work that fulfills me.
That brings me back to the job that I am doing at SFCF:
I am back at San Francisco CrossFit full time. You can catch me at my regular class times Tuesday evenings and Thursday mornings. I am here as one of our resident PT- coaches, joining the dream team of Roop, Dianna, Jon and of course, Kelly. In addition to coaching I am available for movement and mobility evaluations. I am so happy to be back at San Francisco CrossFit. I am back home and have the incredible privilege of working with the best coaches in the world to train the best athletes in the world: YOU!
See you on the floor! Say hi and introduce yourself, I'll be the beardo red-headed dude making a sweat angel.

Preliminary tests indicated significant endogenous protein glutathionylation in murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. A sample of these cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde, blocked, reduced, tagged, and FITC labeled. Pronounced fluorescence was observed by fluorescent microscopy in the cytoplasmic compartment, whereas the nucleus was nonfluorescent (Figure 2A).
Omission of the reducing step, which would prevent the release of glutathione residues and the generation of free sulfhydryl groups, resulted in absence of fluorescence (Figure 2B), supporting efficiency of the blocking step. Conversely, when blocking was omitted, intense fluorescence was obtained in both the cytoplasmic and nuclear compartments (Figure 2C).
Untreated RAW 264.7 cells were also evaluated using flow cytometry. One group of cells was fluorescently stained without the reducing step, which gives minimal FITC fluorescence.
By flow cytometry, these cells were found to consist of a major population of low fluorescence cells and a smaller population with higher fluorescence (Figure 3, black). The smaller population most likely reflects cells with high autofluorescence, as is often associated with phagosomes in macrophages. Fluorescent analysis of S-glutathionylation, using standard assay conditions, demonstrated a pronounced right shift of fluorescence intensity for both populations of cells (Figure 3, red).
Biotinylated proteins can be separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose, then probed by an avidin overlay technique. Proteins in lysates of RAW 264.7 cells, processed using the S-glutathionylation detection protocol with or without the PSSG reducing step, were separated, transferred, overlaid with avidin-HRP, and developed by enhanced chemiluminescence. Several S-glutathionylated proteins were detected in the sample that was analyzed using the complete protocol.
The Cayman S-Glutathionylated Protein Detection Kit mirrors the versatility of the Cayman S-Nitrosylated Protein Detection Kit. Both can be used on whole cells or on isolated cellular components (e.g., synaptic vesicles). Cells may be fixed before blocking to maximize the retention of soluble proteins or left unfixed for cell fractionation or protein solubilization. Biotin-tagged proteins can be enriched using avidin-coated resin before analysis, e.g., by immunoblot. Similarly, biotin-tagged proteins may be first immunoprecipitated, then analyzed by avidin overlay.
Cayman's S-Glutathionylated Protein Detection Assay Kit provides a convenient method for the study of S-glutathionylated proteins in whole cells by flow cytometry and microscopy and in cell lysates by avidin overlay analysis. The assay starts with the blocking of free sulfhydryl groups followed by enzymatic cleavage of protein-SS-glutathione adducts present in the sample.
Biotinylation of the newly formed free sulfhydryl groups provides the basis for visualization using streptavidin-based fluorescence or colorimetric detection. Reagents are provided to test three sets of 10 samples (most convenient) or up to 30 samples total at once if desired.

In July 1980, my 11-year-old self was the proud owner of what I perceived as quite a mature purchase for someone my age. From the first listen, I was amazed at how consistent this album was; not a bad track in the bunch. One side was as good as the other, and several tracks were even better than the hit singles.
A pounding drum beat and smoking guitar licks open the album with "Heartbreaker", one of the most arresting songs ever to start an LP.
Pat's vocals alternate from raspy to positively angelic thoughout. The guitar in the middle builds to a dramatic spine-tingling climax, and finally a "rush-to-the finish" ending. **** stars
Things slow down a notch for the John Cougar-cover "I Need a Lover". I think she sings it just as well as the original. *** stars
"If You Think You Know How to Love Me" has a gritty feel and shotgun-like drumming throughout. By the time keyboards underscore Pat's vocals on the chorus near the end, it's soaring. **** stars
The slinky, slightly spooky title track has a mesmerizing bassline and Pat sounds more laid-back, until she gets to the amazing gospel-like zenith near the end. This song also practically soars before it's bassline fades out just exactly as it opened. **** stars
A quiet piano deceivingly opens "My Clone Sleeps Alone". However, this is no pretty ballad. It's one of the most powerful numbers on the album.Read more ›

"Sometimes it helps to laugh. But Romney's smirk is disturbing. It betrays a preternatural sense of entitlement and self-satisfaction that comes out, often inappropriately, in all sorts of ways, from his odd remark that "I like to be able to fire people that provide services to me" to insulting the cookies supporters served him or the rain gear fans wore to a NASCAR event. It seems related to the calm self-importance with which he belittled British planning for the Olympics, insulting our closest ally. The smirk is a cousin to another odd Romney tic – his tendency to chuckle at the wrong time, like when he was trying to deny cutting the hair of a gay high school classmate. Who chuckles when they're trying to project compassion?"

No-compromise leadership is all about the thinking, behavior and accountability that support all leadership results and business outcomes. With no-compromise as the mandate, even the best and most respected of companies reveal the need for improvement. Business size doesn't matter. When compromise seeps in, the more drag it places on growth momentum and energy. Allow it to go unchecked, even for a nanosecond, and the most achievable goals instantly turn into pipe dreams - yet another collection of missed opportunities. No-compromise means no missed opportunities. No-compromise leadership is a commitment to a higher standard that guides and nurtures a business culture capable of extraordinary achievement. No-compromise defines the type of leader you are. It defines the DNA of the business you lead. This book was written to give business leaders a no-compromise operating system allowing dynamic companies to emerge. That is the true role of the no-compromise leader. Winner of the 2010 IPPY Award's Bronze Medal for Business/Leadership.

This study assessed the course of perinatal depression amongst 210 Latinas who were and were not affected by intimate partner violence (IPV) and identified associated psychosocial factors. Peak depression prevalence occurred prenatally among 45.7% of IPV-exposed and 24.6% of non-IPV-exposed Latinas. At each assessment, depression was significantly higher for IPV-exposed compared to non-IPV-exposed mothers. Mastery and social support were associated with lower depression, while history of IPV, perceived stress and avoidant coping behaviors were associated with higher depression. Findings support recommendations for routine depression and IPV screening of Latinas in perinatal clinical settings.
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health problem that affects one in five couples in the U.S (Field & Caetano, 2005) and 3-13% of pregnancies (Campbell, 2002) IPV is associated with a wide array of physical and mental health consequences for women including injuries, adverse pregnancy outcomes, poor physical health, and depression (Campbell & Lewandoski, 1997; Bonomi et al., 2006; Woods, 2005; Coker, Sanderson, & Dong, 2004), in addition to mental and physical health problems among children exposed to IPV (Bair-Merritt, Blackstone, & Feudtner, 2006; Graham-Berman, 2003; McCloskey, Figueredo, & Koss, 1995; Rossman, 2001). Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is one of the most prevalent mental health consequences for women with IPV histories. Compared to lifetime estimates for MDD of 17.1-21.3% among women (Blazer, Kessler, & McGonagle, 1994), approximately 47.6% of women with IPV histories have had MDD (Golding, 1999). While there is substantial evidence linking IPV and depression from cross-sectional studies, there is limited information on the persistence and longitudinal course of depression among pregnant and postpartum women exposed to IPV. Depression occurring during pregnancy and/or the postpartum period, referred to as "perinatal depression," represents depressive symptoms that can occur prenatally and/or up to 12 months postpartum (Gaynes et al., 2005). Postpartum depression represents a continuum of depressive disorders appearing after delivery that range from "baby blues," a temporary, self-limiting and generally untreated depressive disorder occurring in the first few weeks after delivery, to postpartum depression which can occur up to a year after delivery and generally requires treatment due to increased severity (Prevalence of self-reported postpartum, 2008).
Prenatal and postpartum depression have significant health consequences for both mother and offspring. Prenatal depression increases the risk of complications during pregnancy (Chung et al., 2001), and suicidality (Lindahl, Pearson, & Colpe, 2005), and postpartum depression (Yonkers et al., 2001; Lee et al., 2007). Postpartum depression has consequences for maternal role functioning, infant mental health, and longer term child development, manifesting its adverse effects over the child's life course and into adolescence. Maternal depression compromises the early interactions between mother and child and can lead to decreased sensitivity, attentiveness, and cognitive stimulation (Knitzer, Theberge, & Johnson, 2008; The NICHD Study of Early Child Care, 2006). Infants of these mothers may be difficult to calm, be more irritable, withdraw from caregivers, and are at heightened risk of developing behavioral problems (Campbell et al., 2007; Thomaseli, 2008). Depressed mothers are also less likely to seek preventive health services for their infants and to follow safety prevention practices such as using car seats and covering electrical outlets (Paulson, Dauber, & Leiferman, 2006; McLennan & Kotelchuck, 2000). Offspring of depressed mothers are at heightened risk for psychopathology (Goodman & Gotlib, 1999). Prenatal and recurrent depressive symptoms are predictors of low social functioning and high externalizing behaviors among young children (Luoma et al., 2001), and lead to decreased emotion regulation and higher levels of socioemotional difficulties in early childhood (Maughan et al., 2007). Longitudinal studies have also demonstrated that adolescent behavior problems are associated with early maternal depression and low maternal responsiveness (Aisenberg et al., 2007; Evans et al., 2007).
The links between maternal depression and child mental health on the one hand, and IPV and maternal mental health on the other, suggest that maternal depression may be an important causal pathway in the well-documented association between IPV and children's mental health (Dubowitz et al., 2001; Morrel et al., 2003; Koverola et al., 2005; McFarlane et al., 2003; Whitaker, Orzol, & Kahn, 2006). Thus, understanding the impact of IPV-exposure, other risk factors, and potential protective factors, on the stability and persistence of perinatal depression throughout the first year postpartum is important for understanding potential treatment needs of affected women and for promoting the well-being of both mothers and children.
Evidence for the link between depression affecting IPV exposed women and associated protective and risk factors is limited for the population of childbearing Latinas. As a result of the stress and socioeconomic context of immigration and cultural assimilation experienced by diverse populations (Flaskerud & Winslow, 1998) the impact of IPV on maternal mental health may be significantly confounded by poverty and acculturation, which independently or together are associated with increased depression (Dearing, Taylor, & McCartney, 2004; Heilemann, Lee, & Kury, 2002; Hobfoll et al., 1995). While acculturation has been associated with depression and IPV among Latinos, this relationship is inconsistent in the literature (Caetano, 2000; Jasinski, 1998). Poverty is associated with increased IPV and depression prevalence both in general, and specifically among Latinos (17.6% versus 11% among whites)(Garcia, Hurwitz, & Graus, 2005) There is a small but growing body of literature on the specific link between IPV and depression among Latinas, but the evidence is also mixed. One recent cross-sectional study of IPV among immigrant Latinas found no association of IPV with major depressive disorder after controlling for socio-demographic factors (Fedovskiy, Higgins, & Paranjape, 2007). In contrast, we recently reported a greater than two-fold incidence of depression during pregnancy among a sample of IPV-exposed pregnant Latinas compared to non-IPV exposed women, after controlling for poverty, acculturation and other factors (Rodriguez et al., 2008). Protective factors of increased availability of social support, active non-avoidant coping style, sense of mastery (belief in one's own personal efficacy), and resilience (positive attitude in the face of adversity) have been associated with lower levels of depression in Latinas (McFarlane, Parker, & Soeken, 1995), and we found these same protective factors to be associated with less prenatal depression after controlling for IPV and other variables (Rodriguez et al., 2008).
In this paper, we extend previous research on Latina mothers exposed to IPV by analyzing data from a cohort of pregnant Latinas followed through the first year after birth. The objective of the current study is to assess the impact of IPV on the course of perinatal depression, while controlling for protective and risk factors, at four time periods beginning in pregnancy and continuing at 3 time points up to 13 months postpartum. Specific hypotheses tested in this study are:
A longitudinal study of adult pregnant Latinas attending obstetric clinics in Los Angeles was designed to examine the impact of IPV exposure on Latinas during the perinatal period. Prenatal interviews after the first trimester of pregnancy were followed by interviews at 3, 7, and 13 months post-partum. The recruitment sites were obstetric clinics at private, non-profit, healthcare organizations – a local HMO organization and a medical center - where more than 80% of the population was Latina. Latina patients who screened positive for IPV (IPV-exposed) were eligible for the study, as were pregnant Latinas who reported no previous exposure to IPV (non-IPV-exposed); the latter served as a comparison group. To promote retention, only women who reported that they planned to raise their children in Los Angeles County during the children's first year of life were eligible for study inclusion. The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Boards (IRB) of each recruitment site and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
All women attending obstetric clinics at the HMO and at the medical center between January 2003 and January 2004 were approached by research staff and informed about the study while waiting for routine appointments (n=1,728). Baseline interviews took place between April 2003 and March 2004. The first follow-up interviews were conducted between September 2003 and July 2004, the second follow-up interviews were conducted December 2003 and January 2005, and the third follow-up interviews were conducted between June 2004 and April 2005. These interviews were scheduled to take place initially when the women were at least three months pregnant but had not yet given birth with the three follow up interviews occurring at three, seven, and 13 months post-partum. At the HMO, the clinic staff would let each woman know that someone from a research study either would be approaching them when they were shown into an exam room at the time of appointment check in or the staff would direct the woman to a private room where researchers would be screening them prior to being shown into an exam room. At the private medical center, the research assistant flagged the patient's registration paperwork informing the front desk staff that the assistant would be approaching the patient and taking her aside to a private confidential space to introduce her to the study. The research assistant would introduce herself as a researcher working on a research study to understand the needs of pregnant Latina women and their babies to help enhance healthcare services provided to them. To avoid stigmatization, the study was not labeled as an IPV study but it was made clear that the study would inquire into sensitive issues, including IPV. Potential participants were asked if they could be screened to determine eligibility and if eligible, they were invited to participate. They were told that participation consisted of responding to five questionnaires (one during pregnancy and then up to four during their infant's first two years) and that the interviews would improve our understanding of the needs of pregnant Latina women and their infants in order to enhance healthcare services provided to them.
Of the original 1,728 potentially eligible women who were originally to be approached for the study, 140 refused to be screened while 44 women were either approached twice or were lost before they could be approached, leaving 1,544 who were screened. Of these, 682 screened eligible while 862 screened ineligible. Of these 682 eligible women, nine IPV positive women and 46 IPV negative women refused enrollment while 417 IPV negative women were turned away due to the quota of IPV negative women being filled leaving 92 IPV negative and 118 IPV positive women enrolled in the study. Thus, while there may have been some selection bias among the women who did not decline screening, the overwhelming majority of women agreed to be screened and selection effects should be small.
An interview was administered to study participants by trained bilingual Latina research associates. The questionnaire included validated questions, assessment scales and screening tools already available in both English and Spanish. Participants received $25 for each interview completed.
Demographic questions included age, birthplace (foreign/US- born) and language of interview. Total family income was divided by the federal poverty level for number of persons in the household to create the Poverty Index, in which higher scores indicate higher levels of income above the poverty threshold. Other sociodemographic variables collected included parity, employment status, partner status and educational attainment.
IPV status, the main independent variable, was ascertained using questions from the four-question Abuse Assessment Screen (AAS) (Perlin & Schooler, 1978). Questions include lifetime adult physical and sexual abuse by an intimate partner. This assessment precludes the assessment of temporality and whether the abuse was by the woman's current intimate partner and/or father of the baby. We modified this measure to include psychological experiences of being made to feel fearful for their safety. Women with positive responses to any one of the items were classified as IPV-exposed.
Protective factors included mastery and social support. Mastery was measured with a five-item modified version of the Mastery Scale (Perlin & Schooler, 1978), which measures sense of control over forces that influence one's life. Item scores range from five to 20, with higher scores indicating higher mastery. Social support was measured with a modified version of the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey related to instrumental (e.g., receiving transportation assistance) and emotional support (e.g., having someone to talk to) from formal (agencies) and informal sources (friends, family) (Sherbourne & Stewart, 1999). Scores range from nine to 45, with higher scores indicating higher social support.
Risk factors included avoidant coping style, stress, and non-IPV trauma history. Avoidant coping style was assessed with a subscale from the Medical Outcomes Study (Abbey, Abramos, & Caplan, 1985) which included various "avoidant" coping strategies. Higher scores indicated poorer coping strategies. Stress level was measured with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-4) to assess perceived ability to handle "personal problems" and "important things in life," with scores ranging from four to 20 in which higher scores indicated higher perceived stress (Cohen, Kamarck, & Mermelstein, 1983). Trauma history was assessed with six items from the Trauma History Questionnaire (Green, 1996) and six items from the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study Questionnaire (Felitti et al., 1998). Non-IPV trauma history included past physical or verbal child abuse, witnessing of domestic violence, past experience of physical abuse that left marks (non-IPV,) sexual abuse (non-IPV,) or loss of parent before age 18.
Depression, the major outcome of interest, was measured by the Beck Depression Inventory Fast Screen (BDI-FS) for Medical Patients (Beck, Steer, & Brown, 2000; Steer et al., 1991). The BDI-FS has seven items rated for the past two weeks on a four point Likert scale. Consistent with the literature, a cut-off score of four or above indicated that a participant was depressed. The BDI-FS has sensitivity and specificity greater than 0.80 (Winter et al., 1999). Total scores on the BDI-FS range from zero to 21, with higher scores suggestive of greater severity. Study protocols were used to assure participants' and their children's safety during the study.
The prevalence of depression among IPV-exposed women was compared with prevalence among non-IPV-exposed women at each of the four assessment periods: prenatal, 3, 7 and 13 months after birth. The cumulative frequency of depression (0, 1, 2, or 3-4), the prevalence of risk factors (avoidant coping style, perceived stress, non-IPV trauma, acculturation, and poverty,) and protective factors (social support and mastery) were compared among IPV-exposed and non-exposed mothers at each of the four time periods. A correlation matrix was used to evaluate potential multicollinearity among any of the predictors. Chi-square tests or t-tests were used to assess differences in all bivariate analyses for a given time point. The binomial exact test was used to calculate 95% confidence intervals for point estimates of depression. Marginal repeated measures mixed effects models examined the statistical significance of all independent predictors over time. After systematically testing each variable for statistical significance and using the literature as a basis for determining what variables should be included in the model, final multivariate repeated measures mixed effects models identified variables that were independently correlated with depression, as a continuous outcome over time. SAS Statistical Software, Version 9.1 was used for all analyses.
The study sample is composed of 210 women living in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area of whom 44% (n=92) were IPV-exposed and 56% (n=118) were non-IPV-exposed at the baseline interview (Table 1). Compared to non-IPV-exposed participants, IPV-exposed participants were significantly more likely to be older and born in the U.S. (30.4% versus 18.6%). In addition, IPV-exposed women were significantly more likely to have higher parity, be employed full or part-time, unmarried and to have graduated from high school.
Women in both groups experienced depression in the prenatal and post-natal periods (Figure 1). While depression was highest in the prenatal period for both IPV-exposed (45.7%) and non-exposed women (24.6%), it was lowest three months after birth (28.0% and 7.3% respectively). Then, depression went up at seven months for both groups (to 42.7% of IPV-exposed and to12.4% of non-exposed women). Finally, at the 13 month time point, depression decreased among IPV-exposed women (39.8%) but increased among non-exposed women (17.5%). At each time point (prenatally, 3, 7, and 13 months after birth), significantly more IPV-exposed women scored at or over the cut-off for depression (p<.001 at each time point) compared to non-exposed women. Mean depression scores for IPV-exposed women at each time point were 3.5 (prenatally), 2.13 (3 months), 3.36 (7 months) and 2.97 (13 months) which were significantly higher than those of the non-IPV exposed women, i.e., 1.49 (prenatally), 0.67 (3 month), 0.97 (7 month) and 1.11 (13 month)(t-score=-3.58, -3.58, -4.84, and -3.74 respectively, p<.001 for each time point).
Approximately 71% of IPV-exposed and 40% of non-IPV-exposed women met or exceeded the cut-off for depression at least once during the four assessment periods. Persistence of depression, as indicated by scores that exceeded the cut-off for depression at more than two of the four assessments, differed significantly by IPV status (Figure 2.) Persistent depression was greater than five times more likely within the IPV-exposed group than within the non-IPV-exposed group (27.3% vs. 5.2%, p<.0001.) A significantly higher proportion of IPV-exposed women scored at or above the cut-off score for depression at two of the four assessments, with a greater than two-fold difference between the exposed and non-exposed groups (17.1% vs. 7.2%, p<.05.). Approximately, 29.5% of IPV-exposed mothers scored at or above the cut-off for depression only once during the perinatal period, compared to 21.7% of non-IPV-exposed mothers. However, this difference was not significant (p=0.28.)
Over the four time points, avoidant coping and perceived stress were higher in IPV-exposed subjects than in non-exposed participants across all time points (Table 2.) In contrast, mastery scores did not significantly differ during the prenatal period, but did significantly differ at the seven and 13 month post-natal assessment time points. Likewise, perceived social support was significantly higher in non-IPV-exposed mothers at the prenatal, three and seven month post-natal time points but not at the 13 month post-natal time point. IPV-positive participants scored lower on social support at each of the four time points when compared with non-IPV-exposed participants. Furthermore, IPV-exposed participants scored lower on mastery at all of the three post-natal time points, significantly higher on avoidant coping style at all four time points, and significantly higher on the perceived stress measure at all three post-natal time points.
The mixed model results shown in Table 3 indicate that high scores on mastery and social support were negatively associated with depression over time. Avoidant coping style and perceived stress were positively associated with depression over time. In addition, history of non-IPV-related trauma was not significantly associated with perinatal depression or the language in which the interview was conducted.
In this study, IPV-exposed women experienced elevated rates of depression throughout multiple time periods between pregnancy and 13 months after birth, which is consistent with and extends the findings of our previous report on the impact of IPV on depression during the prenatal period (Rodriguez et al., 2008). Rates of depression during their pregnancy and at two of the three time points over the first year after birth were in the 40-50% range among women with a history of exposure to IPV and were significantly higher than those in the non-IPV-exposed comparison group at each time period. Nearly 30% of IPV-exposed Latina mothers, compared to 5% of non-IPV exposed mothers, experienced depressive symptoms predictive of postpartum depression that, unlike "baby blues," is not self-limiting and may continue throughout the first year after delivery. The continuation of depression among IPV-exposed women suggests that depression may be persistent in this group. The potential persistence of depression may be due to various factors including severity of depression, barriers to treatment, or lack of recognition or the problem. Our research did not address these factors, but future research should differentiate depressive symptoms among those in treatment versus those not in treatment.
Consistent with findings from cross-sectional studies of depression among Latinas (Heilemann et al., 2004), we found that the protective factors of social support and mastery were associated with decreased perinatal depression. Conversely, depression across all time points was higher for women with avoidant coping style and perceived stress, even after controlling for the effects of poverty and other demographic characteristics.
Unlike other studies on the role of acculturation in IPV and depression, however, we did not find acculturation to be predictive of depression over four time points, nor was it significantly associated with IPV exposure. These results may reflect study limitations in our use of preference for interview language (Spanish/English) as a proxy for acculturation, or our inability to distinguish different ethnic subgroups within our Latina sample. Studies using other measures of acculturation have found generational status, timing of immigration and time since immigrating to be highly associated with IPV and/or mental health status (Jasinski, 1998; Garcia, Hurwitz, & Graus, 2005). Furthermore, we did not distinguish type, severity, and recency of IPV exposure in this analysis. Others have found that mental health symptoms were more pronounced among women whose IPV exposures were more recent as opposed to remote (Bonomi et al., 2006). Related to IPV exposure, the age difference between the IPV exposed group and the non-exposed group may be due to the greater opportunity to experience violence related to older age. Future longitudinal studies should address these limitations.
Our findings have important implications for the care of both mothers and their children. The longitudinal design of this study allowed us to examine stability and change in depressive symptoms from pregnancy through the first year after delivery. While the pattern for depression scores between the two groups was similar, we found variability in the reports of depressive symptoms over this time period and noted a substantial increase in the proportion of women with depressive symptoms by seven months postpartum and persisting at 13 months postpartum. By examining depressive symptoms throughout the first year after delivery, this study contributes new findings to previous longitudinal studies of perinatal depression (Zelkowitz et al., 2008; American Medical Association, 1992).
In addition, this study examines the contribution of IPV exposure to perinatal depression patterns. Because perinatal depression was significantly higher for IPV-exposed women, compared to non-IPV-exposed women well after birth, our findings suggest that screening for perinatal depression should extend beyond the early post-partum period and continue periodically throughout the first year after delivery. The influence of IPV exposure on perinatal depression has important implications for prenatal and postpartum screening protocols. The occurrence of postpartum depression and its co-occurrence with IPV, can pose added burdens on individuals, society and other family members, especially children (Dubowitz et al., 2001; Morrel et al., 2003; Koverola et al., 2005; McFarlane et al., 2003; Whitaker, Orzol, & Kahn, 2006). Professional associations have issued practice guidelines that recommend screening for IPV and associated mental health disorders in various practice settings (American Medical Association, 1992; American Academy of Family Physicians, 1994; American Academy of Pediatrics, 1998). This is particularly important for Latinas of low income who rarely receive appropriate and adequate treatment for depression. The potential, adverse short-term and long-term consequences of untreated postpartum depression on maternal health and child development also speak to the need for an integrated and coordinated approach to outreach, screening, and intervention for mothers, infants and family members. The Institute of Medicine's recent report on child health in America noted that the complex relationships within family systems require a health care system that is integrated across delivery systems and developmental life stages of adults and children in order to promote child well-being across the life course (Institute of Medicine, 2004). More research is needed on ways to increase screening, promote access to interventions, provide more social support, increase protective strength factors, and integrate health services to address perinatal depression in the context of IPV. Quality improvement methodologies, such as benchmarking and pay for performance, may prove useful in changing current practices. More research on acculturation and ethnic differences can further contribute to designing culturally appropriate screening and intervention services that will have the greatest potential for success.

Senior health survey ranks Arizona 23rd in nation
PHOENIX — Arizona ranks in the middle of the pack for senior health.
The state ranks 23rd best in the United Health Foundation's rankings for people over the age of 65. That's down from 18th place last year.
United Healthcare Arizona Medical Director Dr. Robert Beauchamp said a few trouble spots might be to blame for the decline.
"The reasons might relate to a somewhat-increased rate of smoking in seniors, as well as a lower percentage of flu immunizations," Beauchamp said.
Beauchamp couldn't pinpoint why more seniors may be smoking.
As for flu shots, he said fewer people may be getting them because there have been fewer news stories about the flu in the media. However, Beauchamp said Arizona seniors are doing better in other areas.
"As a state, we do have a lower prevalence of obesity," he said. "We're at 22.5 percent, while in the rest of the nation, the average is 25.8 percent."
Arizona seniors rank in the bottom third of states for managing their diabetes and the number of times they end up in intensive care. The state ranks No. 2 in the country for the lowest rate of hospital deaths and the use of hospice care.
The survey ranked Minnesota as having the healthiest seniors in the nation. Mississippi finished dead last.
