COLa. 0. 43211 EXOH VOL.56 NO.49 NOVEMBER 30,1078-CHESHVAN 30 Hertzberg Says Day Schools Indispensable To Survival NEW YORK (WNS)-The idea of American Jewry that it can assure its • future through philanthropic and defense work is a "fatal and suicidal delusion" and the only answer is Jewish day school education made available to all families regardless 6f ability to pay, Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg has asserted. He spoke at a meeting here of the B'nai B'rith Critical Issues Forum, which focussed on the need for free Jewish day schools. He contended that the idea that funding hospitals, fighting anti-Semitism and defending Israel will help preserve the Jewish people "is not true" even though American Jews are doing "a superb job" in these areas. He called American Jewish priorities "insanely and suicidally wrong." Declaring that the rate of intermarriage is now one in three, he said this is what it has always been "<n every third generation of Jews living in an open society in the disaspora." Rabbi Hertz- - berg i' called --Jewish-«^day< schools for all indispensable.' While stressing work in philanthropy and defense areas must be done and is being done "superbly," he added "we are evaporating at the usual rate" and that if "we do not raise a generation to care, within 30 years half our Jews will be gone and in a few generations, we will have no one left to protect,'' Leviches Can Emigrate After Years Of Rebuffs NEW YORK (WNS>- Reports from the Soviet Union that Benjamin Levich. a leading physical chemist, and his wife, have been given by Soviet Jewry groups. Both, are 61. Mrs. • Levish has been in the hospital several times because of a heart ..condition which has been aggravated by Soviet harassment of the Leviches. Levich said he had been told by telephone on Nov. 16 that the visas were ready and he had one month to.get out. He said he hoped he could leave earlier, depending on his wife's health.* Yevgeny and Alexander, the Levich sons, left in 1975. The Levich case was one of several which Soviet officials said they were reviewing after a Moscow visit ■ by Sen. Edward Kennedy (D. Mass.) who brought up several such situations. Levich, who has ■ invitations - lo 'teach in ■ \ Britain, the United States 1 ' ' and other countries, said he and his wife will settle in Israel.

Robert Dole (R. pushing for an overall peace Kan.) called- the Camp settlement in the ' Middle David accords "a smashing rEasHn-aniefforMofrustrate'-'^success" hut added that now- a separate Egyptian-Israeli barter should allow Egypt peace treaty. Edward Sanders, senior advisor to President Carter and Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, and Liaison to the American Jewish community, said on Nov. 20 at a commission meeting of the Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. Answering questions, Sanders said he believed the Administration was dedicated to achieving peace between Egypt and Israel but added his understanding was that the Administration sees such a treaty as the first stage for a Mideast settlement and that it wants negotiations to continue after an Egyptian-Israeli accord is reached. He rejected audience suggestions that the Carter Administration is tilting toward the Arabs and said relations between Carter, Premier Begin and President Sadat are "fine and excellent." Recent American press reports suggest Carter and Begin distrust and dislike each other. - Sanders said that the Administration position is that the future of Jerusalem is "negotiable" and that the Administration ■ believes Jerusalem should not - be "physically separated." Sanders noted U.S. policy supports the idea that Israel's security presence on the West Bank should extend beyond any political arrangement' achieved in the future. Hessaid he views his job < *as representing the "opinions, thoughts and fears" of the Jewish com- and Israel to find • a permanent peace on their own, for an overall peace and commented that Jordan - will not come to the negotiations and that Israel "is being asked to negotiate with -phantoms." Dole told the 500 Jewish communal leaders lhat current disputes are "not between the U.S. and Israel's enemies but between the U.S. and Israel on behalf of her enemies." JERUSALEM (WNS)-Js- rael was involved in a twofold dispute, one with Egypt for having published the peace treaty draft with the omission of a key Article, and another with the United States over Secretary of State Cyrus .Vance's statement that talks should continue on the peace trealy. Vance's statement, in an interview Nov. 24 with The New York Times, was unsettling because 'it was in conflict with'Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan's statement several days earlier (hat there was no need for further talks arid lhat Egypt should "take il or t leave il." The Secretary of State told The Times .that the Isrcli Cabinet decision to accept the draft (ready did not mean (he negotiations were concluded because Egypt and Israel did not reach an agreement on the key element of a timetable lor implementing the autonomy scheme on'lhc-jltyc&l JJanji _nd th£ GazH'Strijr Thafwas- the one ffihfcni Itie.MffitrJt refused to " accept and Vance's remarks created anxiety in Israel that the U.S. intendsi to exert pros- sure on Israel lor concessions on that issue.

The publication o( the truncated version of the peace treaty dralt in the semi-official Cairo newspaper Al Ahram on Nov. 23. which omitted Article VI. creafed tension between Israel and Egypt. The Article, which Dayan re- Ierred lo on Nov. 26 as 'the heart ol the treaty." establishes thai the Israeli- Egyptian treaty takes precedence over any past treaties or agreements thai either country may have entered into with respect lo Ihe Middle East conflict "Dayan said that without , this Article "there i.s no point in signing the agreement."

The event was the third annual leadership Assembly of the Greater New York Conference on Soviet Jewry. > Marshall Goldman, associate director of the Russian Studies Center at Harvard, urged "flexibility" in negotiations with the Soviet authorities aimed at increasing Jewish emigration. He said that when Russia eases its restrictions on Jewish emigration, which he said was now the situation, the U.S. should "reward", the Soviets: with modest trade concessions. If muchlgreater, numbers of Soviet Jews are allowed to leave. Goldman said. President Carter should consider offering the USSR the mosl-lavored- nation trade sta(us currently withheld under the Jackson- Vanik amendment. He argued that trade and other contacts give the U.S. leverage on Soviet policy on Jewish emigration. Rep.. Benjamin Rosenthal (D. N.Y.) a member of (he House International Affairs Committee, said if Ihe upward trend in Soviet Jewish emigration continues, a "positive response may be warranted." He said he did not favor most-favored-nation status but that some "carrot- and-stick approach" might be useful, such as amending the Stevenson amendment which limits Russia to $300 iniliion in . commodity credits.' , , , .But YRichkrd Pipes, professor of Russian History (CONTINUEDON PAGF ll'» David Brinkley To Be Guest Speaker At Ninth Annual "Night For Life" Event David Brinkley, who re- * turned tp"a- famiharroleas 'co-anchorman (with John Chancellor) of "NBC Nightly News" in June, 1976, will be the guest speaker at the ninth annual "Night For Life" event on Saturday evening.

Saints bump Dolphins from unbeaten ranks, 38-17
Drew Brees threw for 413 yards and four touchdowns as host New Orleans remained unbeaten and handed Miami its first loss.
Darren Sproles had seven catches for 114 yards and a TD and also ran for a score while tight end Jimmy Graham snared touchdown strikes of 27 and 43 yards from Brees, who tied his own NFL record with his ninth consecutive 300-yard performance.
Brees finished 30-of-39 to equal his own league mark with his 10th straight game of at least 25 completions for the Saints (4-0). Ryan Tannehill completed 22-of-35 passes for 249 yards and a touchdown, but he also had a key fumble and threw one of his three interceptions in the opening half as the Dolphins (3-1) failed in their bid for their first 4-0 start since 1995.
Lamar Miller rushed for 62 yards and a TD for Miami, which saw the game get out of hand when it allowed 21 unanswered points bridging halftime. The combination of Sproles and two turnovers by Tannehill helped the Saints to a 21-10 halftime lead. Sproles had a 48-yard reception to set up his own 5-yard scoring run and Graham made a leaping catch in the end zone for a 14-3 advantage midway through the second quarter.
Miller capped an 81-yard drive with a 5-yard TD run to make it 14-10 with 3:35 left in the half, but Tannehill was picked off by Jabari Green on the ensuing possession and Brees capitalized with a 13-yard scoring pass to Sproles.
After Miami went three-and-out to start the second half, Brees connected with Benjamin Watson and Graham on a pair of scoring strikes 92 seconds apart to turn it into a 35-10 rout.

I do have to say though, the test was spot on! It definitely helped me to feel assured in my natural abilities as a leader.
Hey thanks Whitney – where did you see a PDF? Thanks -Carlyle
On the left hand side of the screen where it says Account Menu, there's an option to download your pdf report. I haven't been able to do it yet, because of the database error.
awesome. loved it. so validating. thank you for sharing, both of you!
I've been watering it down for years since I noticed my zeal for life the issues arising from it made others uncomfortable.
"Unforgettable = creating a strong emotional reaction" "If you're not creating a negative response from somebody, you're not fascinating anybody."
No more gray watery mush for me… Thank you for this video!
This was sooo cool and powerful. I turned out to be a rockstar which is interesting to me – the other side of being a staunch introvert. when I come out, I come out big and rebellious, it's true. Rebellion, Passion and Trust are certainly my hallmarks. But I didn't add it up to being a Rockstar! WOW, I can get behind that!
Looking forward to learning more!
We're twins! Rebellion, Passion and Trust, sister, HIGH FIVE!
Me too – Rockstar + Trust! I was a little bit surprised to be called a Rockstar … as introvert, quiet and patient I have seen myself. May be I just was formed like this. Hm, I will learn to let it out more and more …
OMG, loved this video!! Both Marie and Sally were CAPTIVATING!! What a wonderful piece of wisdom. Thank you so much!!
Man, every time I take personality tests, my response is typically "wow, that's pretty darn close".
This test nailed me. Like, "fighting back tears" nailed me because every word I'm reading in the report so far is SO true and yet I resist living out that truth MOST of the time.
My result: Provocateur (Rebellion / Mystique / Power)
Thanks for this…
Oh My God, Marie! I loved loved loved this video so much. I just watched it and literally have tears rolling down my face. Happy tears. Excited tears. Wonderful tears. I can NOT wait to get her book. I have been on the edge of everything she talked about for the past month. Creating my site. Being honestly me. Living from a totally genuine place and being fascinating because of that. I can't wait to explore this more.
You are the real deal. Thank you for all that you do. Big hugs, Ursula

I hate this psychological need known as love. It's part of the reason I spent most of this weekend thinking about killing myself, of course part of that's probably just my depression.
As far as your question goes I agree with weekend.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- U.S. and European defense companies, hard hit at home by shrinking military budgets, are battling to make big-ticket sales in Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf monarchies, whose collective defense spending grew by 20 percent in from 2011 to 2012.
"In some cases," observed Oxford Analytica, "failure to win orders could mean the end of several major programs."
From 2008 to 2011, the six member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council -- Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain -- acknowledged arms deals totaling more than $75.6 billion, the U.S. Center of Strategic and International Studies reported in September.
Nearly $52 billion of that, or 70 percent, consisted of weapons for Saudi Arabia while the Emirates, which have built up a formidable air and missile strength in recent years, accounted for $17.2 billion.
It remains unclear what effect the interim nuclear agreement reached by the U.S.-led Western powers and Iran last month will have on the monarchies' arms procurement policies given Tehran's contentious nuclear program remains essentially intact.
The Saudis have flirted with Russia as these events have unfolded. Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi intelligence chief, reportedly offered Moscow $15 billion in arms purchases in July if it stopped backing Syria, Iran's strategic ally.
By all accounts, the Russians would be prepared to go a long way to see Moscow's Cold War influence restored in the region, and weapons sales are a key tool.
Iraq signed a $4.3 billion deal with Russia in October 2012 for air-defense missile systems and attack helicopters.
Moscow has been sniffing around Cairo as well, reportedly dangling deals of as much as $4 billion, since the Americans cut off some military aid to the military regime.
But the Chinese are also looking to muscle in on the gulf arms market, for decades the treasured preserve of the Americans, British and French.
NATO-member Turkey's surprise announcement in September it had opted to buy a long-range air and missile defense system from China for $4 billion, even though it may be impossible to integrate into NATO's architecture, was a signal the Chinese are elbowing their way into the regional arms market.
The decision has yet to be finalized, apparently dependent on whether China agrees to a co-production deal.
The Chinese system, known as T-Loramids, is produced by the state-owned China Precision Machinery Import-Export Corp., and is believed to be the FD-2000, an export version of the China's H-Q-9 system, based on Russia's formidable S-300 air-defense system.
Turkey selected it over the U.S. Raytheon-Lockheed Martin partnership's Patriot PAC-3, the French-Italian Eurosam's SAMP/T Aster 30, and Russia's S-400.
China is "offering increasingly sophisticated weaponry at rock-bottom prices," said Asian defense analyst Richard Bitzinger of the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore.
There have been reports the Emirates are looking at China's Yi Long Pterodactyl unmanned aerial vehicles, which can carry BA-7 air-to-ground missile and YZ-212 laser guided bombs, among other weapons.
The reason the Emirates are looking eastward could be because the Americans have been reluctant to share advanced UAV technology or precision weapons with the Gulf states, partly because they might one day be used against Israel.
Whether this reluctance will continue in light of the growing pressure on U.S. defense companies to export to the gulf petro states is not clear, but there have been signs this policy may be changing -- if only to try to keep the Chinese and the Russians out.
For instance, the Emirates were recently allowed to purchase General Atomics MQ-1 Predator UAVs.
The Pentagon notified the U.S. Congress in October of plans to sell Saudi Arabia $6.8 billion worth of precision weapons that include 650 Boeing AGM-84H standoff land attack missiles.
But Western companies face problems if they can't consistently secure major exports.
"In some cases, such as BAE Systems Bradley Fighting Vehicle, winning orders from Gulf states and other countries in the Middle East may be vital in keeping production lines open," Oxford Analytica said.
"European aerospace companies also need significant sales in the region to keep projects such as the French Dassault Rafale jet and the multinational Typhoon going much beyond 2020."

Minnesota's closest legislative race is headed for court before it reaches a probable recount.
First-term Republican Rep. Mary Franson of Alexandria leads Democratic challenger Bob Cunniff by a single vote, but a counting error could alter the margin.
Some District 8B voters received the wrong ballots on Election Day, so 35 ballots are likely to be pulled at random before a pre-recount tally is certified, Douglas County auditor treasurer Charlene Rosenow said.
Franson has asked a judge to get involved. A hearing on the lawmaker's request was set for Monday, Nov. 19.
Recounts are automatic when the difference between candidates is less than one-half of one percentage point. The manual recount is slated to start on Nov. 28.
Democrats have a 73-61 majority pending a reversal in the Franson-Cunniff race.
The district includes the eastern half of Otter Tail County and part of Douglas County, including most of Alexandria.

Goffstown resident Garrison receives footballs, offersBy ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
August 20. 2013 12:41AM
Although there are no posters with his picture circulating that offer a reward for his capture, Goffstown's Chris Garrison is a wanted man.
Garrison, a 6-foot-4, 218-pound wide receiver who will soon be starting his second season with the Lawrence Academy football team in Groton, Mass., has four scholarship offers and it appears many more will soon be headed his way.
"I'm certainly taking a lot of calls," said Lawrence Academy coach Paul Zukauskas, who was an offensive lineman at Boston College and then spent four seasons in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns. "He's on the radar of a lot of schools across the country. There's been interest from the Pac-12 (Stanford), the SEC (Tennessee) and the Big Ten (Nebraska). He'll be a national recruit.
"He's a really good student and I think that's something that will help him, too. I think things will open up here once the season starts."
Garrison played football at Goffstown High School as a sophomore, but then transferred to Lawrence Academy, where he repeated his sophomore year. He'll be a junior this season.
Garrison said he received offers from Boston College, the University of Connecticut and the University of Massachusetts shortly after the 2012 season ended. The University of New Hampshire extended an offer earlier this summer.
"I'll definitely still consider (UNH)," Garrison said. "I'm good buddies with (Nashua South quarterback) Trevor Knight, who's going there. I know a lot of people who go there."
Garrison, 17, also plays linebacker/strong safety for Lawrence Academy, but college coaches are recruiting him to play on the offensive side of the ball. Recruiting services like ESPN's Recruiting Nation and Rivals.com list Garrison as a tight end because many schools project him as an H-back receiver in college, but he may have changed some opinions with his performance at BC camp this summer.
"I ran a 4.64 (40-yard dash) there, so I think they're starting to look at me as a wide receiver," Garrison said. "I've been to BC camp the last two years so I knew they had some interest, but I was definitely surprised when my coach told me about the offers. It was a little overwhelming."
Zukauskas said size and athletic ability are what makes Garrison special.
"When you see him on film what jumps out at you is he almost seems like he should be smaller than he is because of some of the things he can do on the field," Zukauskas said. "He has playmaking ability. He has the physical attributes to get the ball. He can jump up over kids and get the ball, and he can break tackles, too.
"He's the type of kid you want to try and hide him in formations and find different ways to get him the ball. He can certainly run.
"I know he's a little bigger and a little stronger than he was last year, so physically he hasn't peaked, either."
At this point Garrison seems less interested in recruiting than he does the upcoming season. He has two years before he has to pick a school.
"Right now I just want to focus on the football season," Garrison said. "I'm trying to stay open as long as possible. We'll see what comes along."

Nothing says New Year's Eve quite like some bubbly. But for your New Year's party, do you really want to offer just another glass of champagne (we're sorry, sparkling wine) on a night that is ushering in the exciting and new? Well now you don't have to. We asked five area bartenders to create an original cocktail that you can re-create at your own holiday party. Each of these cocktails is made with a $20-or-less bottle of "champagne," so they won't break your party budget.
The Island Bubbilini
Jeff Levy, Tavern on the Hill
Levy loves to add gin to cocktails because he finds the ingredient so versatile, but he knows sometimes gin scares people. "Any time gin is incorporated, a lot of people run for the hills," Levy said. But "using the blend of citrus flavors allows gin to be incorporated properly." Levy said gin also "naturally enhances the dryness of champagne." He hopes his cocktail will help partiers ring in the new year right. "It is a fun cocktail that takes typical expectations of 'what to drink' and hopefully gives people new ideas to expand their drinking horizons when making cocktails at home," he said.
How to make the Island Bubbilini
2/3 oz. gin
2/3 oz. Midori
1/4 oz. 03 orange liqueur
1/3 oz. limoncello
1 1/2 oz. mango syrup
3 oz. Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Extra Dry Sparkling Wine (approx. $10)
Shake ingredients (except the sparkling wine) with ice and pour into sugar-rimmed champagne flute or wineglass. Top with sparkling wine.
The King of Hearts (punch)
Jon Carroll, Oliver Speck's
Carroll describes himself as a whiskey and beer guy, not a cocktail man. So he when he created a drink for us, he wanted to make something that would appeal to different tastes. He describes the drink as a, "holiday-themed Whiskey Smash." It's your perfect party punch. "[The] sparkling wine and pomegranate juice mellow the whiskey, and the rosemary adds a nice earthiness," Carroll said. "But hey, there is still whiskey in it, and I'm cool to that."
How to make the King of Hearts
1 liter whiskey — Carroll prefers Bulleit Rye
25 oz. pomegranate juice
10 oz. of lemon juice
Pomegranate seeds
6 big sprigs fresh rosemary
25 oz. of Pierre Larousse Blanc De Blanc (approx. $8)
In a large punch bowl, combine whiskey, pomegranate and lemon juice. Add champagne to bowl or to each drink (the carbonation will last longer if you top each drink off). Garnish with pomegranate seeds and fresh rosemary sprigs. Yields about 90 ounces.
The Root Beer Royale
Jay Reese, Beatnik Bar and Restaurant
Reese created a drink that is inspired by a childhood classic — the root beer float. "The texture and flavor make it unique," Reese said. Part of that special texture comes from the Pierre Larousse, which, when added on top, foams just like the ice cream part of a float. It's an adult way to slurp soda, and who knows — that little taste of nostalgia might help you and your partygoers look back on 2013 with a hint of fondness. "This is the perfect drink for New Year's because it tastes great and is full of life," Reese said.
How to make the Root Beer Royale
1 organic egg (white)
1 tsp. simple syrup
1 tsp. heavy cream
2 oz. Art in the Age "Root" Organic Liqueur
1 oz. dark rum (Beatnik uses Kraken)
Fantinel Prosecco Extra Dry (approx. $12)
Large ice cubes
Chill large martini glass. Open the Fantinel and have it ready. In a tall cocktail shaker, add the egg, simple syrup, heavy cream, liqueur and rum, in that order. Fill shaker with large ice cubes and shake ingredients vigorously for at least 30 seconds until the metal shaker bottom is frosted and getting too cold to hold. Strain into chilled martini glass 2/3 full and top with the prosecco.
The Eastern Sparkle
Aaron Joseph, Wit & Wisdom
Joseph said he "wanted to put a sexy twist on classic champagne by blending sparkling wine with bright, citrus flavors."

The mesh is slightly see through and plunging so you can see the low clevage. I really didn't want that much of a sexy look so I'm sending it back.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) Chris Czerapowicz had 15 points and nine rebounds to lead Davidson past West Virginia 63-60 in a semifinal game Friday at the Old Spice Classic.
De'Mon Brooks added 12 points for Davidson (3-2), which advanced to Sunday night's championship game.
West Virginia (1-2) got 15 points from Juwan Staten and Gary Browne added 11.
After Staten scored after a steal to get West Virginia within one point with 1 minute left, Czerapowicz made a 3-pointer on Davidson's next possession to put the Wildcats up 61-57.
The Mountaineers cut the deficit to 61-60 on Terry Henderson's long-range jumper with 13.6 seconds left. Nik Cochran made two late free throws for Davidson's three-point advantage.
Davidson opened the second half with a 9-0 run, including four points by Jake Cohen and Clint Mann's 3-pointer, to take a 39-32 lead.
After Czerapowicz hit a 3-pointer and added a free throw, Cohen had a basket to make it 49-38 midway through the second half.

College is supposed to help young people prepare for the future. But as headlines warn that automation and technology may change—or end—work as we know it, parents, students, and universities are grappling with a new question: How do you educate a new generation for a world we can't even imagine?
A recent Pew Research Center survey of 1,408 technology and education professionals suggested that the most valuable skills in the future will be those that machines can't yet easily replicate, like creativity, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, adaptability and collaboration. In short, people need to learn how to learn , because the only hedge against a fast-changing world is the ability to think, adapt and collaborate well.
But many American college students may not be learning them at all. In the 2011 book Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses , Richard Arum and Jarip Roksa chronicled how few American students really improved cognitively–and learned to learn–during their undergraduate education. Few bachelor's programs require sufficient amounts of the reading, writing, and discourse needed to develop critical thinking skills. In fact, forty percent of American undergraduates now major in business and management-related subjects, reading mainly textbooks and short articles, and rarely writing a paper longer than three pages. Further, the social bonds and skills formed in college today often center on extracurriculars that have little connection to cognitive development and collaborative problem-solving.
But perhaps instead of reinventing higher education, we can give students what they need for the future by returning to the roots of liberal arts. Consider St. John's College , America's third-oldest institution of higher education, founded in 1696. With fewer than 700 students between two campuses in Annapolis and Santa Fe, St. John's is a bit under the radar. But it's emerged as one of the most distinctive colleges in the country by maintaining a strict focus on the classics of the Western canon.The Program
Many fine schools in the US organize classes and curriculum around Western classics, and St. John's two campuses look much like hundreds of small colleges across America. So what makes St. John's unique? First, as David Brooks of the New York Times recently wrote , the college has the "courage to be distinct" amid a marketplace of more than 5,000 colleges and universities in the US. A big part of that distinction is due to a strict adherence to its own curated curriculum and teaching methods, know simply as "the Program" implemented back in 1937.
The progestogen is injected into a muscle or under the skin and then is gradually released into the bloodstream. It works mainly by stopping the release of the egg from the ovary (ovulation). It also thickens the mucus made by the neck of the womb (cervix) which forms a mucous plug. This stops sperm getting through to the womb (uterus) to fertilise an egg. It also makes the lining of the womb thinner. This makes it unlikely that any egg that has managed to be fertilised will be able to implant in the womb.
Dr Rosemary Leonard
It is very effective. Between 2-60 women in every 1,000 using it will become pregnant after two years. Compare this to when no contraception is used: more than 800 in 1,000 sexually active women who do not use contraception become pregnant within one year.
Some women find that having unpredictable or irregular periods can be a nuisance. However, if you do develop irregular bleeding while receiving the injection then you should inform your doctor or nurse. You may be able to have your next injection early or be given other treatment to stop the bleeding. Irregular bleeding can sometimes be due to another reason, such as an infection. This may need to be treated.
Apart from changes to periods, side-effects are uncommon. If one or more should occur, they often settle down over a couple of months or so. One possible side-effect is weight gain. This seems to be a particular problem for young women (under 18 years) who are already overweight when they start the injection. Some women also report fluid retention, worsening acne, headaches and breast discomfort. However, there is little evidence to say that the injection causes these symptoms.
The most common reason for women to stop having the injections is because of irregular bleeding.
The injection can lead to some 'thinning' of the bones. This does not usually cause any problems and the bones go back to normal when the injections are stopped. Using injectable contraception for many years might lead to more bone thinning. It is therefore recommended that you have a review every two years with your doctor or nurse. They will discuss if this method is still the best one for you.
Very occasionally, the injection can cause some pain or swelling at the site where the injection was given, particularly with Sayana Press®. You should see your doctor or nurse if you have any signs or symptoms of infection at the site of injection (for example, redness or swelling).
Most women can have the contraceptive injection. Your doctor or family planning nurse will discuss any current and past illnesses. For example, you should not have it if you have recently had breast cancer or have hepatitis .
If you have risk factors for 'thinning' of the bones (osteoporosis) then it is normally advisable to use another method of contraception. Examples of risk factors include:

Hi Dr Eades,
I love your sense of humour and how you write. I was already beginning to chuckle out loud at the start of this blog when you wrote "To demonstrate my profound gratitude for all the blog topic selections, I'm going to put up a post that absolutely no one asked for." ! And later I just had to start reading the blog out to my husband so he could laugh. So funny when you commented "we would all probably be a lot better off if all the researchers doing observational studies had followed my lead and fallen asleep mid study."
You explain things so well and make your points in these very amusing ways….and then the very serious ending that studies on cholesterol levels are just as observational as that shaving one…very sobering. You are such a good writer ! Why don't you write some more books ? Why not publish a book of your blogs ? I would buy it right away.
all the best, Anne
Wouldn't you say that astronomy is a science based upon observational studies?
Although one may make hypothesis based upon the finding, I would think it quiet hard to do an experiment on the solar system. Yet we have learned a lot from the observational studies, to the degree that we were able to design a space program.
I don't like to throw out observation studies simply because we cannot do an experiment on the findings.
Dr. Mike, I read a very fascinating article here about low carb diets and the breathalizer. Are you familiar with the hcg diet? I have a question for you and wondered if I can contact you directly? Donna
Once again, great post. You're quite the wordsmith. When I grow up I want to write like you do!
I find that counting backwards from infinity helps me go to sleep….
And by "cover all the bases" you mean everything you could think of?
This reminds me of an old observational study, French I think, which conclusively demonstrated that an untidy socks draw was associated with a significantly better sex life (in males I think, though the improvement may have had a knock on effect for partners).
Before you go and mess up your socks draw; no, it was never tested in an intervention study.
Your childhood game sure sounds more interesting than counting sheep!
As far as the media jumping on these studies, am I right in assuming that the majority of the ones they choose to publish are the observational studies, that if we read that "shaving causes heart disease" in the news, that it's most likely not going to be a legitimate randomized, placebo-controlled trial? How can we know what kind of study it was (it surely won't be brought out with the news story), where do we go to find out? And where do we find an easily understood synopsis of the trial or study, that the average person can grasp? (Other than asking you for the answers!)
BTW, thanks for the explanation of the differences in these studies. It really does help us to see that we need to take a lot of the media reporting with a huge grain of salt.

'Rapid deterioration' of NHS funds
NHS hospitals in England could face a combined deficit of more than £750 million this year, new figures suggest.
New research from the Health Service Journal (HSJ) found that 66 NHS hospital trusts are forecasting a deficit for this financial year, 10 think they will break even and 58 are forecasting surpluses.
The magazine obtained figures from all but six of England's 140 acute hospital trusts by asking for the most recent forecast. If that was not available HSJ obtained figures from the trust's financial plans.
Many NHS trusts are facing financial problems, it has been suggested
They found that the 66 trusts predicting to be in the red were forecasting a combined deficit of £940 million. Meanwhile the gross surplus projected by the other trusts was just £167 million.
This would mean an overall deficit of £773 million.
Last month an influential think tank warned that NHS finances have been "stretched to the limit". The King's Fund said that there are "huge pressures" on the health service's purse strings.
The King's Fund's policy director Richard Murray told the magazine that it was "increasingly likely" that the NHS would need more money next year.
Meanwhile the Health Foundation's chief economist Anita Charlesworth told HSJ that a recruitment drive for nurses following the publication of the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust Public Inquiry could have contributed to the dire finances predicted for this year.
"We are seeing a rapid deterioration of finances as a result of fundamental underlying factors," she said.
"Many trusts started recruiting more nurses last autumn so they are going to see the full year costs for the first time in 2014/15. The concern is that the (national) strategy has been focused on a small number of providers and there is no plan from the (NHS Trust Development Authority) and Monitor for the whole sector having a generalised financial problem."
An NHS England spokeswoman said: "The primary responsibility for engaging with trusts facing financial challenges lies with the Trust Development Agency and Monitor.
"NHS England works closely with the TDA and Monitor at a national level, and at a local level, NHS England area teams and clinical commissioning groups will, as the commissioners of services, be working with trusts to ensure that services meet the needs of patients now and in the future."

Dear LEGO,
About every six seconds someone somewhere posts "Hey, LEGO should make a theme out of xx" where xx=the latest video game, movie, book, TV show, whatever. Please don't. If you simply must make licensed themes, please keep in mind a few key principles:
1. A licensed theme should tap into a proven long term product, so it's not just a flash in the pan that will be on the clearance shelves in six months.
2. A licensed theme should be broad in scope - not just limited to a particular movie, but rather into a whole universe surrounding that theme. That way you won't run out of set designs after a year.
3. A licensed theme should appeal to both kids and adults. Bonus if there is already an established collector/geek community among adults.
4. A licensed theme should provide something that a non-licensed theme does not. Ideally this should be more than just minifigs.
5. A licensed theme should have a variety of build possibilities - ideally both vehicles and locations.
I think we could assume that Star Wars has been the most successful license for LEGO, as it has been extended a couple of times beyond the original. Note how all of the criteria above easily fit the SW universe. OTOH, some themes that held such promise have fizzled, in part because they didn't fit all of these. For instance, the Spider-Man theme was too closely tied to the first two movies, and didn't have the opportunity to expand into the rich universe surrounding Spidey (see, for instance, the possibilities in these MOCs by Nelson). Hopefully the Batman theme learns from this error, since it seems to cover all things Batty. Harry Potter was the biggest thing in the universe for several years, but after book seven came out it seems to have waned in interest, and the LEGO theme has certainly petered out. Spongebob has minimal adult appeal, and has only been around for a few years. I don't know what Indiana Jones really gives us that Johnny Thunder did not. Once everyone has an official Indy fig, I don't know what compels further sales (unless they really run with the military aspects - certainly the Race for the Stolen Treasure is the best designed set of the theme and excited all of those looking for WWII stuff - there are several other things that would make great sets like the tank and the flying wing).
Please consider the criteria above when judging any future proposed licenses. Does Halo appeal to both kids and adults? Nope. Does the Golden Compass have proven long-term appeal? Nope. Does Pirates of the Caribbean give us anything that a rebirth of the non-licensed Pirates theme could do just as well? Not really. Etc. I would like to see Batman expanded into more of the DC universe (or would have liked to have seen the Spidey theme expanded into the larger Marvel universe). I suppose an argument could have been made for either Lord of the Rings or Narnia, but the boat has sailed on the possibilities there - plus neither of these really gives us anything you can't get from a fantasy tinged non-licensed castle theme (i.e. what we have now). I suppose James Bond is a possibility, but Alpha Team and now the Agents theme really accomplish the same thing. I can think of very few other things out there that would really fit into what I've described.

Marseille president Vincent Labrune has revealed that his club have reached an agreement with Newcastle for the transfer of Loic Remy and that the forward will now travel to England to hold discussions.
The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to St James' Park after the Magpies sold Demba Ba to Chelsea earlier in January.
Remy's Marseille team-mate Joey Barton wished the France international good luck at his former club on Sunday, and reports in France claim that he will not feature in this evening's Ligue 1 match against Sochaux.
Instead, it is suggested that he will travel to Tyneside in order to negotiate personal terms with the Premier League club.
"We have an agreement in principle with Newcastle, it is true," Labrune told the RMC Sport radio station in France.
"We have therefore given Loic permission to chat with them. For the rest, we must wait patiently."
Marseille's sporting director, Jose Anigo, has previously admitted that Remy could leave the south coast club to move to the English top flight.
QPR manager Harry Redknapp, however, revealed that the striker had declined to discuss a possible switch to Loftus Road after he had travelled to France to watch him in action.
Newcastle declined to comment on the speculation surrounding Remy or Barton's tweet when contacted by Goal.com on Sunday afternoon.

2003 Harley-Davidson Ford F150 - Trailer Park Panderer
Low Rider in the H-D Tradition
Harley-Davidson has a very appropriate name for its lowered big-twin model: Low Rider. Robert Robinson, of Conyers, Georgia, took a similar approach with his '03 Harley-Davidson F-150 by dropping the stance, upping the power, and keeping a tried and true two-tone. After two years of building his dream daily driver, it's still not done in his eyes, but we think you'll agree that it's a great example of a custom that's easy to live with every day.
Hellbent Kustoms took on the laborious task of body-dropping the Blue Oval 3 1/2 inches on a custom 2x3-inch, 1/4-inch wall tubing chassis and Auto Extremes, in Conyers, Georgia, stepped in to add custom-built control arms and a four-link. The fresh suspension got Slam Specialties bags and shocks at all four corners as well as 22x9.5-inch Boss Motorsports 314 wheels wrapped in 255/30R22 Nexxen rubber. The final piece of the puzzle was a sectioned front bumper that allowed the truck to fully lay out.
The remainder of the bodywork was completed by Auto Extremes, where the bed was finished with wheeltubs and a cowl hood was readied for paint. Street Scene mirrors were custom fit to the truck, as the SuperCrew doors are just different enough to not be compatible. The bed got a roll pan and the truck was sprayed in the factory-style two-tone black and silver that's characteristic of a Harley-Davidson edition by CCS Customs.
The interior of Robert's Ford is much like the exterior, simple, clean, and well executed. A Kenwood DDX896 DVD receiver is the source for the audio that's fed to Pioneer components in the factory locations. Gene Payne Upholstery, also in Conyers, covered the factory seats in matching black and silver leather that complement the black carpet and color-matched dash as well as the billet BAD steering wheel, billet vents, and Auto Meter gauges for bag pressure, tank pressure, and boost, our favorite.
Lurking under the cowl hood is a 5.4L V-8 crammed full of air at a pressure of over two atmospheres. An Accufab plenum, throttle body, underdrive accessory pulleys, and a Diablo programmer help the ported supercharger to get as much fuel and air as possible into the cylinders. Flowmaster exhaust and a high-flow catalytic converter help the air on the way out. The final result is more than 500 hp.
The best part of Robert's truck is that it's his daily driver, so he gets to enjoy his truck in all of its custom-chassis glory all year long. He'd like to thank all of his friends and Negative Camber club members that helped him on the two-year journey of building his SuperCrew as well as Gene Payne Upholstery and CCS Customs.

My poor baby has not pooped in 16 days. I heard Bm is efficient, but this seems ridiculous?
He is not distended, tries to poop, just nothing exits. Ped says pear juice, is this something standard?
My poor baby has not pooped in 16 days. I heard Bm is efficient, but this seems ridiculous?
He is not distended, tries to poop, just nothing exits. Ped says pear juice, is this something standard?
This is unusual. Several days to a week between poops is common. Up to 2 weeks is still normal. But 2 weeks plus... It could still be normal. But it could be not, especially since baby seems to be trying to poop but cannot. Breastmilk has a laxative effect, and I don't know that pear or prune juice has any advantage over breastmilk. Still, it's worth trying! I'd also put baby in a warm bath when he seems to be trying to poop- that always got my girls to relax and poop. Of course, it means scrubbing out the tub... But I figured it wasn't that big a price to pay.
Thanks for that advice! I had to get in the tub with him to hold his legs up.. He started grunting the minute he hit the water and felt its warmth. A few minutes later the first of several "productions" shall we say landed in my lap. Not the best way to start the day, but I'm sure it was for him!

I am not sure why it would be bad to give advice? I know Bm is supposed to be laxative, and produce little waste... I was thinking an ounce or two of pear juice would jeopardize my already shaky supply by filling up the babes little belly. I wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience, as it is scary, even if the doc did not appeared worried. It was kind of empowering to read that the crying is actually functional. Here I though he was just hungry all the time, but he was prolly trying to poop! And of course, he'd rather nurse than face the unpleasantry of pooping!
Thank you to all you ladies for your support, you are my ONLY support, you know. :-(

I am a huge fan of Mel Gibson. I love just about everything of his that I've seen, but I especially loved his version of "Hamlet." Watching it, I had the feeling that I understood Hamlet himself for the first time. In retrospect I think he achieved that effect through an intelligent editing of the play to focus on Hamlet's grief. Since "Hamlet," I have approached any movie that has Mel Gibson's hand in it with a predispotion to like it. I look forward, perhaps with some trepidation, to seeing his latest, "The Passion of the Christ."
The controversy over Gibson's latest has me thinking about a film that struck me at the time and has stuck in my memory as the only contemporary (to me) anti-Semitic movie that I have ever seen. I'm thinking of the 1971 film "Billy Jack," a movie that is in other respects a hilarious relic of the hippie ethos.
"Billy Jack" concerns a half-white, half-Indian karate expert who protects the "Freedom School" built on principles of pacifism by kicking hell out of pesky rednecks. After being discharged from the Army, Billy Jack takes up residence among Pueblo ruins near a small southwestern town. There he protects the land, wild horses, and the "Freedom School" from evil white men.
Mr. Posner calls the shots in the small southwestern town in which the film takes place. He is the leader behind the Evil White Man Association (EWMA) and, just to let you know how much of a bigwig he is, the EWMA spends half a day rounding up horses on the Indian reservation near the town. They plan to slaughter them and sell the meat to dog food companies for six cents per pound. They rounded up about two dozen horses and we will say that each weighed twelve-hundred pounds (healthy).
Now, let's also say that they garnered eight hundred pounds of usable dog chow from every horse. After dividing the profit between six men you end up with about two hundred dollars each; probably an appreciable amount of money for your average evil redneck, but if this is how Posner amassed his fortune then it's no wonder why he is driving that station wagon.
Mr. Posner and his son Bernard (especially Bernard) are the villains of the piece. Bernard rides around the town in an ostentatious sports car and behaves like a cowardly bully. He finds just enough courage to annoy Billy Jack and get his throat crushed in an awesome display of Billy Jack's prowess in the martial arts.
Mr. Posner and Bernard are of course the only Jews in the film. Each in his own way is loathsome and despicable. With suitable updating, they recall the Jewish villains of Nazi propaganda films.
I was a college student when the film came out. I may be mistaken, but I don't recall any controversy about the unmistakable anti-Semitic subtext of "Billy Jack." (And I am not aware of any since then, although I may be similarly mistaken.) At the time I wondered whether the screenwriter, director, producer and star of the film — Tom Laughlin — was venting feelings deriving from unpleasant professional experiences.
Contract disputes between Laughlin and various producers in fact caused the film to bounce around among three different film studios, and delayed its release for three years. Perhaps that accounts for the film's pseudo-hippie, late-60's ethos as well. Whatever the reason, the distasteful anti-Semitic subtext of the movie seemed worthy of note to me.
In any event, today's New York Times carries a story on the Hollywood repercussions of "The Passion of the Christ" that seems to lend credence to the ugly stereotypes that found an outlet in "Billy Jack": "New film may harm Gibson's career." ("Billy Jack" plot summary assistance courtesy of Amazon and Bad movies: Billy Jack.)
UPDATE: This post has prompted several e-mails from readers. My colleague Peter Swanson has identified Spike Lee's "Mo' Better Blues" as a competitor of "Billy Jack" for the Nuremberg laurels. He cites a column by Shlomo Schwartzberg on Lee's film: "Mo' Better Jew-baiting."
Our faithful reader Dafydd ab Hugh is a fan of "Billy Jack" and disputes that the Posners are Jewish. Reader Jerry O'Brien identifies himself as a proud friend of Israel and "Billy Jack." He writes that, although he now lives in California, he hails from rural Iowa. He too disputes the ethnicity of the Posners: "[I]n my viewing of that movie (many times) Posner and his son always seemed like a couple of local WASP or mean-Irish-loudmouths — just like any couple I'd find in the taverns of Adel[, Iowa]." Bernard Posner ain't Shlomo Schwartzberg, but the Posners struck me as unmistakably Jewish from their first appearance in the film. Am I too sensitive?
Reader Rollie Smith writes: "Getting the bum's rush from Hollywood isn't an exclusive gripe of any one particular ethnic group. If Mr. Posner and his son Bernard had had Southern accents and rebel flag tags on their cars would you have been concerned that Southerners were being portrayed negatively? Of course not, all Southerners are loathsome and despicable. Just watch 'Easy Rider'!"
Reader Darrell Mason is a fan of the complete Tom Laughlin oeuvre and writes to ask: "Did you know that 'Billy Jack' was actually a sequel? The first film was called 'Born Losers'! A great, corny movie, Billy tangles with a motorcycle gang. When the fighting breaks out, Billy doesn't go kung fu on the bad guys, he pulls out a gun and shoots one of them!"
Actually, "Born Losers" kicked off what now goes under the name of "The Billy Jack Series." The series includes "Born Losers" and three sequels, the last two of which are "The Trial of Billy Jack" and "Billy Jack Goes to Washington." Messrs. ab Hugh and O'Brien to the contrary notwithstanding, I believe that the final two films in "The Billy Jack Series" are what Mr. Posner would call "dreck."
