Mothers with IgG antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii at delivery are at risk for later self-harm or suicide, particularly if they have higher titers against the parasite, a Danish study found.
The risk of self-directed violent behavior was increased 1.53-fold (95% CI 1.27 to 1.85, P<0.001) for women who tested positive for the antibody compared with those testing negative, according to Teodor T. Postolache, MD, of the University of Maryland in Baltimore, and colleagues.
For those whose titers exceeded 83, placing them in the 90th percentile, the relative risk rose to 1.91 (95% CI 1.25 to 2.79, P<0.001), the researchers reported online in Archives of General Psychiatry.
Toxoplasma gondii is a common protozoa that, if ingested, can migrate to the brain, where it can remain in a cystic form in glial cells and neurons.
Typical sources of infection include cat litter boxes, undercooked meat that contains parasite cysts, and unwashed vegetables.
Areas in the brain favored by the parasite include the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, regions that play prominent roles in the regulation of emotion and behavior, and that show abnormalities in patients with schizophrenia.
The researchers had previously identified a link between T. gondii and suicidal behavior, although in their earlier studies the violent event took place before antibody testing for the infection.
Therefore, to examine a possible predictive effect for T. gondii infection and self-harm, the researchers identified infected women by testing their infants shortly after birth for the presence of antibodies, which would be maternal in origin.
Among 45,271 Danish women who gave birth between 1992 and 1995, 26.8% were seropositive.
For the analysis, the women were stratified for a personal or family history of mental illness, which was ascertained by extracting data from the Danish Psychiatric Central Research Register.
During the follow-up period, which extended until 2006, there were 488 attempts at self-harm among the cohort, for an incidence rate of 8.20 per 10,000 person-years.
The risk among seropositive women with a history of psychiatric illness was 1.25 (95% CI 0.94 to 1.66, P=0.12), while the risk for those without such a history was 1.56 (95% CI 1.21 to 2, P<0.001).
"Because many patients with, for example, mood or substance use disorders may not have been treated as inpatients or outpatients in psychiatric clinics, we cannot exclude that some of the effect of T. gondii infection in women without a psychiatric diagnosis is mediated by an elevation of risk for mental disorders," the researchers noted.
A total of 517 of the women had already had an episode of self-directed violent behavior at the time of delivery, and among these, the relative risk of another attempt was 1.54 (95% CI 0.98 to 2.39, P=0.06).
During 603,876 person-years of follow-up, there were 78 violent attempts at suicide.
The relative risk was 1.81 (95% CI 1.13 to 2.84, P=0.01) for seropositive women.
Eight of the attempts among seropositive women succeeded, providing a relative risk of completed suicide of 2.05 (95% CI 0.78 to 5.20, P=0.14).
The researchers explained that a likely mechanism by which T. gondii could provoke self-harm is through a "neuroimmune path," because the chronic infection is controlled by the immune system, particularly by pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha.
Elevated levels of these same cytokines have been identified in the peripheral blood and cerebrospinal fluid of individuals who attempted suicide.
Recent research also has implicated other alterations in neuromodulators in both the parasitic infections and self-harming behavior, such as through the upregulation of kynurenine pathways in the brain.
As to why the risk for self-injury should be higher with increased IgG antibody titers, the researchers suggested that higher titers could reflect more recent infection or reactivation.
However, they had no information on IgM titers that could clarify the timing of infection, so this remained a limitation of the study.
Another limitation was that, while the data on self-harm were collected prospectively, an infectious causality cannot be assumed.
Further shortcomings include the exclusion of men, and the small number of actual violent suicides.
Nonetheless, the researchers concluded, "Our results are consistent with the hypothesized association between T. gondii infection and self-directed violence and, in concert with other converging evidence and better understanding of underlying mechanisms, if confirmed in future studies, may lead to new prognostic, prophylactic, and therapeutic approaches to suicide prevention."
The researchers were supported by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the VA Capitol Health Care Network, and the Stanley Medical Research Institute.
They reported no financial conflicts.

WebAuth 3.7.2 Announcement
The ITS WebAuth team is pleased to announce Stanford WebAuth 3.7.2. This release fixes a serious bug in option parsing in wa_keyring that made the utility unusable. It also fixes some portability problems and improves WebLogin handling of expired or disabled accounts.
For documentation and downloads of WebAuth 3.7.2, see:
New Debian packages have been uploaded to Debian experimental. The wa_keyring bug has been fixed in a separate upload to unstable and is targetted for the squeeze release. Updated versions with the wa_keyring fix will be uploaded to backports.org once WebAuth 3.7.2 migrates to Debian testing.
New Red Hat packages will be coming soon.
The user-visible changes in this release are:
Fix wa_keyring option parsing problems introduced in 3.7.0. Correctly count arguments so that commands are recognized correctly and do not require -- before commands with negative time offsets, like "gc -90d".
Fix uninitialized variable that caused wa_keyring to randomly default to verbose mode for list.
mod_webkdc now returns a user rejected error instead of a generic Kerberos error for attempted authentications to expired accounts or accounts set to disallow authentication, allowing WebLogin to display a rejected user error message rather than a generic failure message.
Add portability code for old MIT Kerberos and Heimdal libraries without krb5_get_init_creds_opt_free.
Fix build problems with with Perl module (only built when the WebKDC is enabled) on platforms where all shared libraries need to be linked with explicitly.

Anti-Dalit crimes on rise in Uttar Pradesh, or simply more FIRs?July 17th, 2009 - 4:52 pm ICT by IANS
Lucknow, July 17 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh has witnessed a steep rise in crimes against Dalits in the first six months of year - more so after Chief Minister Mayawati ordered police to pay special attention to these offences. However, police attribute the rise to Dalits now feeling free to report crimes against them.
According to the data made available by Inspector General of Police (Crime) G.P.Sharma and the State Crime Records Bureau (SCRB), there has been a noticeable increase in various crimes against Dalits in the past six months.
As many as 139 cases of murder and rape of Dalits were lodged across the state from Jan 1 to April 30. The figure from May 1 till date for these crimes was 121. The grievous crimes this year till date were 227 while other cognizable offences totalled 1,487.
However, the police have different take on the rise in the crime graph.
"The order issued by the government to pay special attention to such cases has made the police more attentive towards the complaints related to Dalits," Additional Director General of Police Brijlal said.
He said there is a provision for paying compensation between Rs.10,000 to Rs.100,000 to a Dalit subjected to any crime under the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act but the members of the community were still unaware of this, he said.
"However, the chief minister's direction to the senior police officials to attend to all such complaints personally and make them aware about their rights has made the difference," he said, adding Dalits no longer fear entering the police station to lodge complaints.
In a meeting of senior police officers May 24, Mayawati ordered the superintendent of police in all districts to personally attend each and every complaint by a Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes member and also spread awareness about the compensation they were entitled to.
The state's Director General of Police, Vikram Singh was asked to visit each spot where a Dalit's murder or rape takes place across the state. Since then, Singh has visited 18 such places, including the four spots mentioned by state Congress unit president Rita Bahuguna Joshi in her remarks in Moradabad Wednesday, which landed her in jail.
Singh visited rape victims in Gautam Budhha Nagar, Meerut, Mathura and Auraiya districts July 9 to get a first-hand account of the police action in their cases.
The DGP then ordered the suspension of three police personnel, including an inspector, for delay in lodging complaint of a deaf and mute rape victim in Gautam Buddha Nagar. The incident took place July 7.
Singh met the victim and handed over a cheque of Rs.25,000. He also visited Ading village in Mathura district where a 14-year-old Dalit girl was killed earlier this month.
Police have pointed out specific regions of the state where such cases are high.
"Districts like Hardoi, Sitapur, Lakhimpur Kheri, Sultanpur, Azamgarh, Muzaffarnagar, Meerut, Etawah, Ghaziabad and Gautam Budhha Nagar record the maximum number of cases," said Sharma, IG (Crime). However, he said he could cite any reason for this.

The kingdom of Aden was established after Raoul, its young sovereign, emerged triumphant from a savage civil war. Sharing the same continent, Elmore is a militaristic domain that claims an ancient heritage. Across the ocean to the west, Gracia is beset by turmoil among relatives seeking to occupy the throne. Indeed, while each of the countries poses a threat to the others, all three are also vulnerable to internal strife. This is the setting players will find in NCsoft's Lineage II: the Chaotic Chronicle, follow-up to the online world that continues to dominate in the huge Korean market.
The newer title entered commercial service in that country last October, and the North American is approaching its launch later this month. It will offer Dwarves, Dark Elves, Elves, Humans and Orcs as the playable options. The last four offer an initial choice between the Fighter and Mystic professions, while characters of the first race named avoid the arcane arts. In all instances, either gender may be selected, and further class alternatives open up later on during the course of advancement, which isn't a goal itself, but rather the means to make a mark or even to become a ruler.

Ask by people:
Is there a way to download my text messages from my iphone to my mac computer so i can print them out? - Asked by:isaac
I need to get the text messages from my Iphone to my email or some
place where I can print them. Need them for legal purposes. Help? - I
have been keeping text messages on my Iphone. I need to find a way to
print them off for my attorney. How can I get them from my phone to my
printer or email? - Davina
How can i forward text messages from my iphone to my email so i can print them out? - Alexisgrant
No matter what the reason, when you need to print iPhone text messages,
there's always a way. The simplest way is usually to take a screenshot
on your iPhone and send it to a wireless iOS-compatible printer. But if
you need full message list, it certainly can't satisfy you, for the
reason that screenshot just shows a snippet of your message conversion.
To print a complete text message conversion from the iPhone, you'd
better export all of them from the iPhone to your computer, and after
that print them.
To achieve this, it's also very simple by using an iPhone message transfer tool. Right here, recommend: Wondershare Dr.Fone Mac (for Mac users), or Wondershare Dr.Fone for iOS
(for Windows users). Both versions of the software enable you to export
your iPhone SMS to your computer with a few steps, and you can
effortlessly print iPhone SMS after that.
Free Download the free trial version on the product page and take a try.
Print iPhone text message in steps
Step 1: Connect your iPhone to the computer
Right after running the program on your pc, connect your iPhone to it, and then you will get the main user interface below.
The window for iPhone 5/4S users.
The window for iPhone 4/3GS users.
When you get this window, you have to download a plug-in before the scan. Just click the "Download" button to do it.
Step 2: Scan your iPhone to get text messages
Next, you need to enter the iPhone 4/3GS' scanning mode before you take text messages on it. Follow the below:
1. Hold your iPhone and click "Start".
2. Hold the Power and Home buttons at the same time for exactly 10 seconds.
3. Release the Power button, and keep the Home button for another 15 seconds.
When you have entered the scanning Mode, release the Home button.
Simultaneously, the program will scan your iPhone for data on it.
If you use iPhone 5/4S, you don't have to enter DFU Mode, directly click on "Start Scan" to begin the iPhone scan.
Step 3: Save iPhone text messages to your computer
After the scan, you will get the content listing shown as below. Select
the "Messages" category. It is possible to preview them just before
saving them on your computer. In order to save them, click "Recover" and
choose a place on your pc. That's OK.
Note: Messages you get here are not only those on your iPhone currently,
but also contain those you deleted recently. If you want to separate
them, you may use the slide button at the top - Only display the deleted
Step 4: Print iPhone text messages
Your messages are saved as an HTML file on your computer. Now you can
connect your computer to a printer, or copy your message file to a
computer that connects to a printer, to make a printout.
Note: If you are careful, you must notice that there is certainly
another choice in the top of the primary window: Recover from iTunes
Backup File. It is a tool that can help to extract your iTunes backup
file and save the content on your computer, to enable you to preview or
print your iTunes backup files for your iPhone 5/4S/4/3GS, iPad, iPod
touch, etc. You also can have a try.

Going Green? Then Go Nuclear
We're environmentalists, but pretending that solar power is ready for prime time is delusional.
Over the last several decades, the cost of electricity from solar panels has declined dramatically, while the cost of building new nuclear plants has risen steadily. This has reaffirmed the long-standing view of many environmentalists that it will be cheaper and easier to reduce global warming emissions through solar electricity than with new nuclear plants. But while continuing price declines might someday make solar cheaper than nuclear, it's not true today. Yet the mythmaking persists.
Nuclear is "the least economical...

I was pretty upset that the large was so small. I actually had to re-order it in a 2XL in order for it to fit! As for the art work, it is absolutely beautiful! I was proud to say that I was the only person I saw at the Ed Sheeran concert that was wearing that shirt and I got quite a few compliments! They told me in order to get a refund for the first shirt, I could send photographic proof that I had destroyed it, rather than shipping it back. I would've loved to have gotten my $35 refunded but I just couldn't bring myself to cut it up so I now have a shirt I can wear and one that's way too small. I'm sort of bummed about that but I am happy with the design of the shirt!

Growing up in the heat of South Louisiana, I enjoyed being indoors creating pencil and pen and ink sketches. My love of art led me to study art and architecture at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now the University of Louisiana). After graduation and a move to East Tennessee, I found myself gainfully employed as a computer programmer, about as far away from an artistic experience as you can get. Living in the very scenic hills of East Tennessee has inspired me to continue my pursuit of artistic interests. My family will tell you that hiking and vacationing with me is interesting, as I am constantly being left behind or wandering off to take photographs of everything I see. With an eye for beauty and nature, my photographs are...

06-10-04 New zoning proposed for east Jefferson
By Sean Rice email@example.com
The board overseeing eastern Jefferson Township zoning changes has completed a proposed text addition to the zoning code that creates a commercial-light classification. The proposed change would create a new class of commercial zoning that intends to generate less vehicle and pedestrian traffic than a typical commercial zone. The Mercer County Zoning Commission took up the issue of a new commercial-light (CL) zone after Mercer County Commissioners rejected a rezone request that would have changed 60 acres surrounding Wright State University-Lake Campus to commercial. The zoning commission approved the text description of the CL zone Wednesday night and set a public hearing for June 28 at 5:30 p.m. at the Jefferson Township house. From that point a second public hearing will be scheduled before the county commissioners, who make the final decision. "This is only an idea, it is not applied to anywhere in the zoning map," Mercer County Prosecuting Attorney Andy Hinders said Wednesday. "And it's not going to be rezoning anything, it is just a text addition," commission chairman Ed Raudabaugh added. "We aren't suggesting or recommending anything be rezoned at this point." Hinders noted this new zoning class could be requested for use near Wright State, and other areas in the eastern half of Jefferson Township. The Mercer County Zoning Code applies only to eastern Jefferson Township. The half of Jefferson Township west of Celina is unzoned. The list of uses in the new CL zone is separated into principal uses and conditional uses. As with all zoning codes, conditional uses require special approval from the zoning board. Principal uses must be submitted to the zoning board, but do not require approval. The list of principal uses in the new CL text definition being considered are: agriculture, business/professional offices, daycare facilities, funeral homes, libraries and financial institutions. Conditional uses that would require a permit are: pet shops, standard restaurants, retail business, personal services, assisted living facilities, bed and breakfast shops, museums, nursing homes, schools, recreation and churches. All of the above also are in the commercial (C) zoning definition, along with: gas stations, adult entertainment, bars, animal hospitals, auto body shops, social services, motels, kennels, hospitals, clubs, group homes, marinas, drive-up businesses, commercial entertainment, vehicle sales, wholesale, shopping centers and storage facilities. Also Wednesday, commission members voted to clarify in the zoning law that adult entertainment facilities are not considered retail business and always require a conditional use hearing.

Java, now that is a dog that can tell some stories
I bet Java heard the word "cunt" thrown around when them two were married and fighting.
Apple's owner = Beth.
I can't believe you had to explain that.
My reference was to why you were erroneously referring to her as a model in the present tense, and implying that she ever was a model.
I thought about it after i responded , But didn't get a chance to change it
We're not under martial law here -- the Thought Police and their toadies don't come to round you up in the night because you have the audacity to state the obvious.
[I'm exaggerating for the purpose of effect and humor by the way, for the denser who may be among us.]
Welcome Apple . Yes it is the Fun over here.
gotta luv that screen name.
Apple eats Walter's hard turds.

It's no secret that in order to keep your business current and relevant in today's world, you are going to need a website. What most people don't understand, however, is that having a website just to have one is a waste of a useful tool that can drive sales, raise awareness, and build relationships with your visitors.
All too often we see business sites that just seem to lie there as a passive placeholder. If your business website does not benefit your business, or you are not seeing the results you were hoping for, it's time to rethink your website and rebuild. This may seem like a daunting task, but don't worry, we will be here along the way and we have broken down the steps for you so that you can do this all by yourself!
What is the purpose of your site?
This question may seem simple, but it requires a lot of thinking. You have to think about what your business needs. Do you want your website to attract people to your brick and mortar store or do you want to use the website for e-commerce and sell things directly on the site? Do you want your site to be a source of information for those who use your products or do you want your site to be a place where you can build relationships with your customers?
Keep in mind that your site can have multiple purposes, but it is best to prioritize them because you will be making a lot of design and content choices based on the purpose of your site.
Now that you have a purpose, you can start building your site. Always keep in mind the purpose of your site for every page you build out.
6 Essential Characteristics of a Good Business Site:
1. Easy Navigation is a must-have on any website. Visitors should be able to easily find the information they are looking for, and fast. Think about your own experience. How many times have you been to a website, took a few seconds to look around, couldn't figure out what the purpose of the website was, and just left? Put important information on multiple pages, clearly label links, and organize your site. Put yourself in a visitor's shoes and try to think about what information they would want and where they would look for it.
2. A Call to Action takes the purpose of your site to the next level. For example, if you want to use your site to drive sales, encourage people to check out your web store by placing links to the store's page in eye catching places, or maybe even offer them a discount. Or is your goal to build relationships with your customers? Try giving them an incentive to become a member on your site or to sign up for a free newsletter. Giving freebies is a great way to get a visitor's attention and to get them to take action according to your purpose.
3. Attractive Design is a no brainer. Visitors won't bother with your site if they can't make heads or tails of it. Make sure your site includes a great header that captures a user's attention and some eye-catching graphics. Don't overdo it, though! Having too many graphics or animations may distract the visitor from your content. You also don't want your site to seem too uncoordinated and "overdone". Another design note: make sure your content is easy to read. Visitors get turned off when the font colors and size are too hard to read. Make sure that when you write your content, you format it for readability, too. Make use of line breaks, bold words, and bullet points to make sure your visitors can skim through easily.
4. Sticky Content is the meat of your website. The content on your web pages determines the quality of your website. So what do we mean by "sticky content"? This is a phrase that describes great content that gets visitors to spend more time on the website or gets them to return. So how do you get your content to become "sticky"? You want to make sure that the content on your site holds value for your visitors. Try to provide useful information or interesting points of view. Plainly stated, if you have genuinely interesting and valuable information on your site, people will value your site and come back again.
5. Credibility is the key to doing business online. The internet can be a dangerous place full of scams, viruses, and shady dealings. A visitor will not do business with you if they do not feel that they can trust your site. So how do some sites seem more credible than others? For the most part, along with site design, it is the attention to detail. Scammers are often looking for a quick buck, so they do they put very little effort into their sites. There are small signs that visitors look for when they determine credibility. Some of these signs include a unique domain name (ex: www.thisbiz.com), an email address that coincides with that domain name (ex: [email protected]), and maybe even a toll free number. All of these things show that the business is invested in what it does, and makes the visitor feel more comfortable about doing business with it. You can obtain all of these credibility boosters easily through Webs!
6. Mobility is becoming more and more essential as time goes on. Some experts say that mobile internet browsing will be bigger than desktop internet browsing by as soon as 2015. Mobile browsing and mobile online shopping are some of the biggest online trends, so needless to say, it is important to be ahead of the curve and have a website that can be easily accessed on a mobile device. It's okay if you don't have the know-how to do this because Webs has a Mobile App that makes it easy: just activate it on the app page, make a few design selections, and you are good to go. Our mobile app was just updated with a bunch of new features, making it a must-have on any site.
