context of left ventricular dysfunction or peripartum cardiomyopathy with a high risk of an adverse outcome for both the mother and the baby, " the authors noted. " our study shows that more attention needs to be paid to this group. " during pregnancy, 26 % of the women were hospitalized, a much higher rate than seen in healthy pregnant women ( 2 % ). more than one - third of the admissions ( 39 % ) were for heart failure ; 31 % were for obstetric reasons, including pregnancy - induced hypertension, vaginal bleeding, pregnancy - induced diabetes, and abortion / missed abortion ; 21 % were for cardiac reasons other than heart failure ; and 9 % were for other reasons. the rate of cesarean delivery was significantly higher among the women with heart disease than has previously been seen in healthy pregnant women ( 41 % versus 23 %, p < 0. 001 ). fetal mortality beyond 22 weeks of gestation or when the fetus was greater than 500 grams ( 1 pound 2 ounces ) occurred at a higher rate in the women with heart disease. most of those cases ( 62 % ) were listed as intrauterine fetal death without any further information, 21 % were attributed definitely to the mother ' s condition, and 17 % were related to structural fetal abnormalities. neonatal mortality ( within the first 30 days of life ) occurred in 0. 6 %, a rate that was not significantly higher compared with historical controls ( 0. 4 %, p = 0. 27 ). women living in developing countries ( 185 of the registry patients ) carried greater risks of both maternal mortality ( 3. 9 % versus 0. 6 %, p < 0. 001 ) and fetal mortality ( 6. 5 % versus 0. 9 %, p < 0. 001 ). the authors noted that developed countries have much greater access than developing countries to optimal prenatal care and preconception counseling, even if it isn ' t used in all cases. " this is a very complex issue, but if achievable, pre - conception counseling focusing on the severity of the heart disease with a clear statement of the consequences of pregnancy may save lives, " they wrote. the researchers acknowledged some limitations of the study, including the inability to perform extensive subgroup analyses because of small patient numbers, the fact that the input and quality of data was checked in only 5 % to 10 % of cases, and uncertainty about how representative the patient population is, considering the voluntary participation in the registry. from the american heart association :


an abdominal aortic aneurysm can develop in anyone, but is most often seen in males over age 60 who have one or more risk factors. the larger the aneurysm, the more likely it is to rupture and break open. aneurysms develop slowly over many years and often have no symptoms. if an aneurysm expands quickly, tears open ( ruptures ), or blood leaks along the wall of the vessel ( aortic dissection ), symptoms may develop suddenly. the symptoms of rupture include : pain in the abdomen or back - - severe, sudden, persistent, or constant. the pain may spread to the groin, buttocks, or legs any one of these tests may be done when you ' re having symptoms. if you have bleeding inside your body from an aortic aneurysm, you will have open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. if the aneurysm is small and there are no symptoms : surgery is rarely done if the aneurysm is small. you and your doctor must decide whether the risk of having surgery is smaller than the risk of bleeding if you do not have surgery. your doctor may recommend checking the size of the aneurysm with ultrasound tests every 6 months to see if it is getting bigger. surgery is usually recommended for patients who have aneurysms bigger than 2 inches ( 5. 5 cm ) across and aneurysms that are growing quickly. the goal is to perform surgery before complications or symptoms develop. there are two approaches to surgery : in a traditional ( open ) repair, a large cut is made in your abdomen. the abnormal vessel is replaced with a graft made of man - made material, such as dacron. the other approach is called endovascular stent grafting. this procedure can be done without making a large cut in your abdomen, so you may get well faster. if you have certain other medical problems, this may be a safer approach. endovascular repair is rarely done for a leaking or bleeding aneurysm. the outcome is usually good if an experienced surgeon repairs the aneurysm before it ruptures. when an abdominal aortic aneurysm begins to tear or ruptures, it is a true medical emergency. less than 80 % of patients survive a ruptured abdominal aneurysm. calling your health care provider go to the emergency room or call 911 if you have pain in


begins to tear or ruptures, it is a true medical emergency. less than 80 % of patients survive a ruptured abdominal aneurysm. calling your health care provider go to the emergency room or call 911 if you have pain in your belly or back that does not go away or is very bad. to reduce the risk of developing aneurysms : eat a heart - healthy diet, exercise, stop smoking ( if you smoke ), and reduce stress to help lower your chances of having a blocked artery again. your health care provider may give you medicine to help lower your cholesterol. if you were given medicines for blood pressure or diabetes, take them as your doctor has asked you to. people over age 65 who have smoked at any time in their life should have a screening ultrasound performed once. gloviczki p, ricotta jj ii. aneurysmal vascular disease. in : townsend cm, beauchamp rd, evers bm, mattox kl, eds. sabiston textbook of surgery. 18th ed. philadelphia, pa : saunders elsevier ; 2007 : chap 65. greenhalgh rm, powell jt. endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm. n engl j med. 2008 ; 358 : 494 - 501. lederle fa, kane rl, macdonald r, wilt tj. systematic review : repair of unruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. ann intern med. 2007 ; 146 : 735 - 741. braverman ac, thompson rw, sanchez la. diseases of the aorta. in : bonow ro, mann dl, zipes dp, libby p, eds. braunwald ' s heart disease : a textbook of cardiovascular medicine. 9th ed. philadelphia, pa : saunders elsevier ; 2011 : chap 60. shabir bhimji, md, phd, specializing in general surgery, cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, midland, tx. review provided by verimed healthcare network. also reviewed by david zieve, md, mha, medical director, a. d. a. m. health solutions, ebix, inc.

we all like to think of ourselves as rational creatures who smartly prepare for the worst. we watch our back, weigh the odds and pack an umbrella when the skies look threatening. but although we take such precautions, we generally expect things to turn out pretty well — often better than they actually do. the belief that the future will probably be much better than the past and present is known as the optimism bias, and most of us have this tendency to overestimate the likelihood of good events happening to us and underestimate the likelihood that bad events will come crashing down. take marriage, for example. in the western world, divorce rates are higher than 40 percent : two out of five marriages end in divorce. but newlyweds estimate their own likelihood of divorce at zero. why is optimism about our personal future so resilient? it starts with what may be the most extraordinary of human talents : the ability to move back and forth through time and space in one ’ s mind. to think positively about our prospects, it helps to be able to imagine ourselves in the future. our capacity to envision a different time and place is critical for our survival. it allows us to plan ahead, to save resources for times of scarcity, and to endure hard work in anticipation of a future reward. while mental time travel has clear survival advantages, conscious foresight came to humans at an enormous price — the understanding that death awaits. the knowledge that old age, sickness, decline of mental power and oblivion are somewhere around the corner can be devastating. ajit varki, a biologist at the university of california at san diego, argues that the awareness of mortality on its own would have led evolution to a dead end. the despair would have brought the daily activities needed for survival to a stop. the only way that conscious mental time travel could have arisen is if it emerged along with irrational optimism. the knowledge of death had to emerge in parallel with the persistent ability to picture a bright future. the capacity to envision that future relies partially on the hippocampus, a brain structure that is crucial to memory. ( people with damage to the hippocampus are unable to recollect the past ; they are also unable to construct detailed images of future scenarios. ) but the human brain doesn ’ t travel in time randomly. it tends to engage in specific types of thoughts : we consider how well our kids will do in life, how we will obtain that desired job, whether our team will win. we also worry about losing loved ones,


on the second day of his first visit to algeria, french president francois hollande stood up before both chambers of the algerian parliament to “ recognize the suffering inflicted by colonization upon the algerian people. ” he also accepted responsibility for “ the profoundly unjust and brutal system to which algeria was subjected for 132 years ; and that system has a name : colonization. ” spoken fifty years after the former colony ’ s independence, these words did not constitute the “ apology ” demanded by several algerian political parties ( nor was it the “ repentance ” dreaded by the right - wing in france ). but for his algerian hosts, these were pleasing words. they were also the crucial starting point in mr. holland ’ s pitch for a “ new era ” between the two countries. since he set foot in algiers, the socialist president had spared no effort to achieve what other french leaders have failed to achieve so far : overcoming the hindrance of the past in order to focus on the benefits of the future. for decades, relations between both countries never settled on a steady course. french hesitation to deal adequately with the country ’ s colonial legacy and the algerians ’ particular sensitivity to french attitudes put bilateral relations on a path of continued turbulence, especially during the last decade. the thawing of the ice started during last french elections. french voters of algerian extraction, an important segment of the muslim electorate in france, extended their hands to francois hollande. their favorable perception of his conciliatory attitude, as well as their rejection of the right - wing politics of his rival, francois sarkozy, earned the socialist candidate the overwhelming support of french voters of algerian origin ( more than 90 % of the votes of french muslims went to hollande, according to the polling agency opinionway ). since his election, the new french president seemed determined to do better than his predecessors. he had the personal commitment of somebody with “ powerful memories ” of a one - year stay in algiers during the late seventies, as a student - intern at the french embassy there. signals of good - will quickly followed. a few months into the office, hollande made the gesture of remembering algerian pro - independence demonstrators who fell victims in 1961 to “ bloody repression ” by french police in paris. his “ remembrance ” of algerian civilian casualties in france was well received in algeria. it set the right mood for this week ’ s visit to france. mr hollande knew in advance that dealing adequately with the painful legacies of the past was a necessary step to engage algerian leaders, especially president abdela


was well received in algeria. it set the right mood for this week ’ s visit to france. mr hollande knew in advance that dealing adequately with the painful legacies of the past was a necessary step to engage algerian leaders, especially president abdelaziz bouteflika, in a dialogue about better bilateral relations. the 200 - person strong delegation accompanying him to algeria, including nine ministers, more than 40 businessmen and 100 reporters, reflected the importance he accorded to his first trip to a maghrebi country since his election. the stakes for hollande were high, in more than one regard. there were obviously the economic interests. already, 450 french companies are based in algeria and france is already algeria ’ s first source of imports. france ’ s european competitors, such as italy and spain, as well as non - europeans powers, especially china, have increasingly challenged france in what it long considered its “ chasse gardee ”. algeria ’ s population of 37 million and its substantial hydrocarbon revenues, make the country an attractive market for the currently - struggling european economies and a magnet for french companies desiring to expand business and trade opportunities. the french export - insurance corporation, coface, pointed out recently that algeria has “ a solid financial situation ” with a debt ratio that is less than 10 % of its gnp. during the visit, several bilateral agreements were signed in the fields of defense, security, industry, agriculture, finance, and education, including an agreement allowing french car manufacturer renault to assemble up to 75, 000 cars in oran and therefore expand its share of the algerian and african automotive markets. mr. hollande ’ s visit was also an opportunity to try to smooth down policy differences over regional and international issues. in an apparent move to avoid an unnecessary public controversy about the two countries divergent policies, he removed a paragraph on the syrian crisis from the prepared text of his speech to parliament. statements on the situation in mali showed that despite their eagerness to help organize a military campaign against jihadist groups in northern mali, the french want to take into consideration the concerns of the country with the longest border with mali and with the greatest ability in the region to - make - or - break any military initiative there. algeria ’ s long experience in dealing the threat of al qaida in the maghreb was also the basis for talks on fighting terrorism. beyond agreements and compromises on regional issues, hollande did not conceal his hope to set the stage for a long - term “ strategic partnership between equals ”. he


##aida in the maghreb was also the basis for talks on fighting terrorism. beyond agreements and compromises on regional issues, hollande did not conceal his hope to set the stage for a long - term “ strategic partnership between equals ”. he tried to make all the right moves to nudges the two countries towards what french socialist leader razzy hammadi called a “ complex - free relationship ”. but the history of french - algerian relations teaches us that the secret for the success of any well - meaning bilateral initiatives is their long - term sustainability. the road to “ normalization ” on all fronts is strewn with all sorts of challenges, new and old, and most of all that of the lethargy that often settles in after an enthusiastic start. “ right deeds have to follow ”, cautioned francois hollande, at the end of his algerian journey. the degree of proximity between algeria and france is at best not a guarantor of sufficient understanding. an ifop poll, conducted on the eve of the french president ’ s visit to algeria, showed for instance that only 26 % of the french population had a “ positive image ” of algeria. removing the distorting prisms and preset notions behind such an unfavorable perception will be a first benchmark towards developing a truly “ complex - free ” relationship. oussama romdhani, a former tunisian member of government, is currently an international media analyst.


consider cover crops your most important crops, because the requirements for abundant food crops — building soil fertility, improving soil texture, suppressing weeds, and inhibiting disease and crop - damaging insects — can be best met by the abundant use of cover crops, season after season. 5 benefits of cover crops soil fertility. a vast array of soil organisms decompose once - living plants into nutrients easily taken up by plant roots, and add to your soil ’ s humus content ( the final residues of organic matter in your soil, which assist nutrient uptake, improve texture and hold moisture ). i grow organic matter in place using cover crops because, in many ways, a living cover crop is even better than adding manure and compost for fertility. the area of most intense biological activity — ultimately the definition of soil fertility — is the rhizosphere, the zone immediately around plant roots. plants release nutrients through their roots to feed their buddies in the soil — beneficial microbes and mycorrhizal fungi — that increase access to water and convert soil nutrients into forms more readily utilized by plants. if the intense bioactivity in the rhizosphere is the key to fertility, imagine the contribution of closely planted cover crops with vastly more root mass than more widely spaced food crops. soil texture. mycorrhizal fungi ( beneficial fungi that grow in association with plant roots ) produce glomalin, a substance which glues microscopic clay and organic matter particles into aggregate clumps, stabilizing the soil and making it nice and crumbly. this crumbly texture is more porous to oxygen and water. bacteria encouraged by cover crops produce polysaccharides, which also act as soil glues. grass and grain cover crops with fine, dense root masses loosen soil texture as they decompose. others, such as sweet clovers and sorghum - sudangrass hybrids, grow deep, aggressive taproots that break up soil compaction. erosion prevention. a cover crop ’ s tight canopy protects the soil from the drying and scouring effects of wind and the forceful impact of heavy rain. the loosened soil structure achieved by cover cropping allows rapid absorption of rain and prevents runoff. soil moisture. organic matter added by cover crops acts like a sponge in the soil, absorbing rainwater and holding it for gradual release to plant roots. thus, gardens that have been home to regular use of cover crops become more resistant to drought. protection from weeds, diseases and insect damage. garden beds frequently planted


sponge in the soil, absorbing rainwater and holding it for gradual release to plant roots. thus, gardens that have been home to regular use of cover crops become more resistant to drought. protection from weeds, diseases and insect damage. garden beds frequently planted with cover crops will have fewer problems with weeds. cover crops suppress weeds, out - competing them for water and nutrients and shading them under a tight canopy, sometimes releasing chemical compounds that inhibit germination of weed seeds ( a phenomenon called allelopathy ). plus, the roots of cover crops release nutrients that feed beneficial microbes in the soil. these microbes then suppress pathogens that cause root diseases. some cover crop plants, such as rape, rye and sorghum - sudangrass hybrids, inhibit root - knot nematodes, which can be disastrous to beets, carrots and other root crops in some regions. you can cut cover crops and use them as mulches to boost populations of beneficial ground - dwelling species, such as rove beetles and spiders. other cover crops can provide a wonderful habitat for the pollinators that help keep your food garden thriving. cover crops that flower, for example, provide important food sources for honeybees and butterflies. cover crop species depending on your climate, gardening goals and the time of year, you ’ ll have a variety of cover crop options. cover crop species vary widely in their tolerance of cold, heat, soil moisture extremes and soil types. it ’ s often good practice to plant a mix of different species. the most important division among species is between legumes and non - legumes. legumes, such as cowpeas, vetches and clovers, serve as hosts to rhizobia, bacterial alchemists that live in plant roots and convert nitrogen from the atmosphere into nitrogen compounds that help plants grow. some of this “ fixed ” nitrogen remains attached to legume roots in nodules — like beads on a string — and becomes available to other plants after the legume dies. non - legumes include all other cover crops : grasses such as small grains, various millets, annual and perennial rye, and sorghum - sudangrass hybrids ; crucifers such as mustards, rape and forage radish ; and buckwheat. for detailed information on the major cover crop species, see managing cover crops profitably by the sustainable agriculture network. even though this book is geared toward farmers, it includes great information for the home gardener.

( clicking on the link in this paragraph will take you to a page on the sustainable agriculture research and education program ’ s website where you can download a free copy of the most recent edition of this book. ) cover cropping strategies the most important strategy of all is : do it now! when i complete a food crop harvest in fall, that same day i plant an overwinter cover crop. if i harvest a spring crop such as lettuce from a bed that i won ’ t be planting again until fall, i sow a fast - growing interim cover crop that does well in summer heat, such as buckwheat or cowpeas. the best time to plant a cover crop is anytime a bed is not covered by a food crop or mulch. the easiest way to incorporate more cover cropping is the half and half strategy : i dedicate every other garden bed to cover crops for an entire year. i may grow several fast - growing covers such as cowpeas and buckwheat in succession, or a cover such as sweet clover, which takes a full year to yield all its benefits. in the following year, the beds previously in cover crops now grow food crops, and vice versa. this strategy allows you to grow mulches in place. using a scythe or sickle, you can cut cover crops that produce a lot of biomass — hairy vetch, rye, and sorghum - sudangrass hybrids — and lay them out as mulches in an adjacent bed that ’ s planted with food crops. most cover crops cut when in their vegetative growth stage will regrow to produce even more mulch. if you can ’ t give half of your garden space to cover crops, how about one bed out of three? or four? or even 10? some cold - hardy cover crops grow well through fall frosts, then die if the ground freezes solid — this is known as winterkilling, and you can use to your advantage. when i remove the top growth from asparagus beds in late september, i plant a mix of winter peas and oats. they create a knee - high tangle of green by the time the ground freezes, and they both reliably winterkill here in northern virginia, leaving a thick, weed -


late september, i plant a mix of winter peas and oats. they create a knee - high tangle of green by the time the ground freezes, and they both reliably winterkill here in northern virginia, leaving a thick, weed - suppressing mulch come spring. plus, the leguminous peas fix nitrogen in the soil for the heavy - feeding asparagus. it ’ s possible to grow both a food crop and a cover crop in the same bed at the same time. under tall - growing crops with a small footprint, such as tomatoes or pole beans, plant an undersown cover crop, such as low - growing dutch white clover or perennial ryegrass. if such a cover has already been established, leave it in place as a living mulch and open up holes for large transplants such as tomatoes or broccoli, or open up rows for beans. shade - tolerant species — annual ryegrass, cereal rye, hairy vetch, some clovers — can be sown as overseeded cover crops into existing crops such as corn or brassicas up to several weeks before harvest. the cover crops will grow slowly under the existing canopy, then come on strong when the food crop has been removed. try frost - seeding a cover crop into overwintered grains. in late winter, broadcast the seeds — small round ones such as clovers work best — into the grain beds. winter freezes and thaws will work the seeds into the soil, where they will germinate in spring rains. the grain could mature into a food crop for feeding your pigs or chickens while serving as a nurse crop to establish the clover, which will grow rapidly after you harvest the grain. some species work as reseeding cover crops. subclovers ( cool - season legumes ) will die back in winter, but the seeds they leave behind will remain dormant through much of the next growing season, then sprout in the fall to establish a new cover. permanent cover crops are appropriate in orchards, vineyards and border areas never planted with food crops. keeping these areas in mixed flowering species — perennials such as clovers, or annuals that reseed themselves such as crucifers — protects the soil, supports pollinators and encourages insect diversity. encouraging lots of different kinds of insects is the key to preventing crop damage, as the bug - munching insects will help you control the crop - munching insects. in high - traffic areas, covers that can take a good deal of wear


encouraging lots of different kinds of insects is the key to preventing crop damage, as the bug - munching insects will help you control the crop - munching insects. in high - traffic areas, covers that can take a good deal of wear are in order, such as annual ryegrass and white clovers. planting cover crops plant cover crops with as much care as your food crops. make a furrow for larger or more vigorous seeds, such as cowpeas or sorghum - sudangrass, sow thickly, and then cover with soil. for smaller seeds, such as clovers, crucifers and small grains, scatter, rake in, and tamp the bed with the back of a garden rake to ensure good soil contact. to speed germination, apply a light mulch and water occasionally. seeds of vigorous covers, such as annual ryegrass, oats and hairy vetch, will germinate if left on the surface, especially if broadcast just before a soaking rain. you can plant a food crop as soon as the cover crop is killed unless there could be a temporary problem of allelopathy or nitrogen tie - up ( keep reading for more information ). in such cases, wait about three weeks or so before planting. killing a cover crop it ’ s better to avoid deep mechanical tillage, which disrupts soil life and breaks down soil structure. tall, heavy stands of cover crops, such as rye and hairy vetch, are a nightmare to till in with a power tiller in any case. so what ’ s the best way to kill a cover crop so decomposer organisms can break it down to feed your soil? remember that a cover crop in the vegetative stage ( i. e., not flowering ) usually regrows after being cut. most cover crops in the reproductive stage ( i. e., flowering ), however, will die if cut. a complete no - till strategy that works for most covers is to cut the cover just above soil line after it has flowered, and transplant crops such as tomatoes, peppers or broccoli through the severed tops, leaving the cut tops and cover crop stubs as a mulch. for small areas, use a hand sickle for the cutting.

( we ’ ve found a used butcher knife also works well. — mother ) or, use a heavy field hoe to chop cover crop plants just below the soil surface to kill them without disturbing the soil deeper down. another option is to loosen the soil with a broadfork and pull the cover plants out by the roots, again laying them on a bed as mulch. as your soil becomes more friable, the broadfork may not be necessary. my favorite way to till in a cover crop is to place a hardworking flock of chickens on the bed. allow them to roam inside a chicken tractor or temporary fencing. for a great example of how well this method works, check out these before - and - after photos of a garden planted with a lush mix of cover crops and the same garden two weeks later, after the chickens went to work on the area. thirsty rye may deplete available soil moisture enough to inhibit the following crop in a dry season. a few crops — small grains such as rye and sorghum - sudangrass hybrids — may temporarily release chemicals that will inhibit the growth and germination of other plants. though these allelopathic effects help with weed control, they can suppress germination and growth of food crops that follow, especially small - seeded ones, such as lettuce, spinach and onions. just wait a few weeks after killing a cover crop to plant your food crop and you won ’ t run into problems. cover crops susceptible to diseases, herbaceous insects or nematodes could serve as vectors if grown beside or followed by food crops with the same susceptibilities. if you allow cover crops to mature their seeds before being killed, they can later volunteer as weeds in following crops. however, the more diverse our gardening practices and the more complex our rotations, the less likely we will encounter such problems. and the more we learn about cover crop species, the more we discover management solutions to problems that could occur. for example, if rye has been allowed to mature, the high carbon content of its residues, both roots and top mass, can temporarily tie up nitrogen in the soil and inhibit growth of the following crop. but if you grow the rye in a mix with a compatible legume, nitrogen fixed by the legume will minimize nitrogen tie - up. begin experimenting with cover crop species in your garden today, and you ’ ll soon see that the enormous advantages far outweigh any problems that may crop up. ultimately, cover crops will lead to health


twenty - eight years ago, arthur firstenberg had a dental x - ray. he ' s been on the run ever since. that x - ray, he says, made him excruciatingly sensitive to electromagnetic fields — the low - level radiation that emanates from power lines, microwaves, and, most vexingly, cell phones. now 58, firstenberg has spent more than a decade crisscrossing the country, trying to find the last unwireless spot in america. when cell phone towers came to new york city, he moved upstate. then he headed to mendocino, california. these days, he lives out of his ' 87 nissan station wagon in santa fe ; a house is too risky. " your neighbor could get wifi, and then you have to leave and hunt for a new home. " at first, i was inclined to chalk firstenberg ' s symptoms up to plain old paranoia. after all, the world health organization ' s website says " no study [ on cell phone radiation ] has shown adverse health effects at exposure levels below international guideline limits. " but doctors and scientists are starting to scrutinize how invisible electromagnetic fields affect human health, especially when it comes to cell phones, one of the most ubiquitous sources of microwave radiation. in 2006, a swedish study reported that 85 of 905 brain tumor patients had used mobile phones heavily for 10 years or more, and most of their tumors occurred on the side of their head where they usually held their phones. in march, after reviewing more than 100 studies on the link between cell phone use and brain cancer, a prominent australian neurosurgeon concluded that cell phones could have a broader public health impact than smoking. the list of conditions that researchers have associated with electromagnetic radiation includes trouble focusing, fatigue, headaches, sleep disturbances, and alzheimer ' s. ( and don ' t forget asthma, diabetes, cataracts, and honeybee colony collapse disorder, insists firstenberg. ) so far, no one has been able to explain exactly how these seemingly benign waves could lead to cancer, much less this laundry list of medical woes, and for that reason, few scientists are willing to say for sure that cell phone use will make you sick — or that it won ' t. the heating effect of electromagnetic waves is well understood ; it has been proved that they can burn human tissue if they ' re intense enough. ( think microwave oven. ) standards set by the federal communications commission ensure that cell phone emissions stay well below that


. the heating effect of electromagnetic waves is well understood ; it has been proved that they can burn human tissue if they ' re intense enough. ( think microwave oven. ) standards set by the federal communications commission ensure that cell phone emissions stay well below that heating threshold. but joachim schuz, head of the department of biostatistics and epidemiology at the danish cancer society, suspects that heat isn ' t the only way radiation causes health problems. so far, no one has been able to prove definitively that its " nonthermal " properties have any detrimental effect on living tissue. " you find one cell reacting, one not, " he says. " so you can ' t really say it ' s due to the radio waves. " why is it easier to watch netflix movies on a pc than a mac? so you ' re about to use netflix ' s " instant watching " feature on your macbook, when suddenly an error message pops up : " sorry, blame steve jobs. " huh? wasn ' t the whole point of getting a mac to escape microsoft ' s monopolistic tentacles and have the freedom to do stuff like stream movies? the problem is that apple won ' t license its copyright - protection software to third parties like netflix. predictably, apple wouldn ' t emerge from behind its titanium curtain to answer our questions about why it won ' t let consumers use whatever video service they choose. john sullivan of the free software foundation suspects that apple wants you to buy movies only from itunes. that may keep steve jobs in black turtlenecks, but it ticks off dedicated mac users, many of whom have no doubt noticed that netflix movies play perfectly fine on a stodgy pc. — leigh ferrara have a problem? oh yes, you do. go to motherjones. com / consumer - retorts to vent about annoying products and corporate policies. selected entries will get mojo swag. since 1999, schuz has been a principal investigator for the interphone project, which has produced the largest body of epidemiological work on cell phones and cancer to date. the official results aren ' t ready yet, but 8 of the 13 countries involved have already released their initial data. several of these early studies show a strong correlation between long - term cell phone use and brain tumors, both malignant and benign. schuz cautions that the individual studies by themselves are too small to overcome some significant problems with the data. finding subjects who have brain tumors and who have used their cell phones for


cell phone use and brain tumors, both malignant and benign. schuz cautions that the individual studies by themselves are too small to overcome some significant problems with the data. finding subjects who have brain tumors and who have used their cell phones for more than 10 years is difficult, especially considering that the tumors typically take 10 to 20 years to develop. what ' s more, people are notoriously bad at remembering how much they ' ve used their phones and which ear they hold their cell phone up to — especially if they ' re looking around for something to blame a brain tumor on. ben greenebaum, a retired physics professor and former president of the bioelectromagnetics society, an international group of radiation scientists and wireless - industry professionals, says that despite interphone ' s preliminary findings, " i ' m not prepared to shut anything down on the basis of what i see now. " but, he admits, " i do think you have to be cautious and use these things when they make sense. " he recommends using a headset whenever possible and warns that " if you carry it on your belt, you ' ll get a higher field into your stomach, " even when the device is turned off. " so set it on the counter. " don ' t try to make calls where your reception is poor — phones emit more radiation when they ' re searching for a signal. the german and french governments have recommended that parents limit children ' s cell phone use, since less is known about the effect of radiation on developing brains. of course, if you ' re really worried, you could ditch your cell phone for a quaint landline. just don ' t expect the rest of the world to follow suit. firstenberg has found that it ' s almost impossible to avoid the mobile - wielding masses. he used to ask strangers — politely — to stop talking on their phones in his presence until he got reprimanded in a grocery store for harassing a customer. " people get offended, " he says. " they just don ' t know about microwave radiation. " for the time being, the fcc is not considering any changes to its standards for cell phone radiation. yet some cell phone companies have started including a pamphlet about potential health risks with their packaging, perhaps to guard against future litigation. and schuz hasn ' t ruled out the possibility that as more data roll in, the scientific consensus could shift dramatically. " if you ask me a year from now, " he says, " i might have changed my mind


at the heart of materials science is an understanding of the microstructure of solids. " microstructure " is used broadly in reference to solids viewed at the subatomic ( electronic ) and atomic levels, and the nature of the defects at these levels. the microstructures of solids at various levels, especially the defects, profoundly influence the mechanical, electronic, chemical, and biological properties of solids. the phenomenological and mechanistic relationships between the microstructure and the macroscopic properties of solids are, in essence, what the materials science is all about. this is best represented by the " materials science triangle " : synthesis - microstructure - properties. materials engineering, on the other hand, is concerned with the design, fabrication, and testing of engineering materials. such materials must fulfill simultaneously the dimensional properties, quality control, and economic requirements. several manufacturing steps may be involved : ( 1 ) primary fabrication, such as solidification or vapor deposition of homogeneous or composite materials ; ( 2 ) secondary fabrication, including shaping and microstructural control by operations such as mechanical working, machining, sintering, joining and heat treatment and ( 3 ) testing, which measures the degree of reliability of a processed part, destructively or non - destructively. because the science of materials branches into other fields of study, the department offers joint fields of study in collaboration with other departments. a degree specializing in electronic materials is offered which provides a broad - based background in materials science, with the opportunity to specialize in semiconducting materials used in electronic and optoelectronic devices. the program incorporates several courses in electrical engineering in addition to those in the materials science curriculum. a joint major field, chemistry / materials science, is offered to students enrolled in the department of chemistry and biochemistry ( college of letters and science ). several courses in the undergraduate curriculum also play an important role in the manufacturing engineering program. the graduate program allows for specialization in one of the following fields : ceramics and ceramic processing, electronic and optical materials, and structural materials.

the ancient city of cerveteri ( latin : caere greek : agylia ) is located about 50 km north - west of rome and occupied an immense area protected by steep slopes and fortifications. the english word ceremony comes from the latin caeremonium, meaning " pertaining to caere, " and reflects the etruscan fascination with divination and prophecy. through its ports of pyrgi, alsium and punicum, the city became an important early trading centre. its name in etruscan has been variously represented as cisra, chaisra or some other variant. in the phoenician tablet from pyrgi, it is referred to as kisry. the earliest major settlements at cerveteri date from between the 9th and 8th centuries bce and are characteristic of the villanovan period. at least two villages were established during this time, as evidenced by the finds of biconical and hut shaped cinerary urns at the oldest necropolis areas of cava della pozzolana and sorbo. trading with the euboean greeks commenced in the mid 8th century bce with etrusco - geometric vessels becoming more common in the grave - goods. from the 7th century bce onwards, caere underwent rapid demographic development, becoming etruria ' s chief trading centre. by the beginning of the seventh century, euboean influence had been replaced by that of the corinthian and other greek colonies which had been established in southern italy and sicily. during the seventh century, local manufacture of pottery started to emulate the greek imports, with new traditions of early orientalising vase painting becoming established in cerveteri. an example of these are the works of the " painter of the heptachord ". the craft of manufacturing bucchero ware also originated in caere during this period. trench type burials began to be replaced by the chamber tomb or hypogeum. the richness of grave - goods from the orientalising period are legendary, with examples being the regolini galassi and calabresi tombs, the contents of which are on display at the vatican etruscan museum. the gold jewellery and vases from this period are of particularly fine workmanship. in the 6th century bc, caere, at the height of its power, clashed, emerging victorious, with the phocaean greeks of italy who at the time were establishing their control on the tyrrhenian sea via the colony of alaria on corsica. following the so called


deepened to about 40 meters, to form a defensive trench and wall, integrated in some points with stone walls. all of these walls date to the first half of the 5th century bce. there were a series of at least 7 gates, providing outlets to the surrounding areas. the only one to have any visible structures is the so - called " porta coperto " ( covered gate ) ( a ), located on the narrow side of the plateau to the north - east. through this gate ran a road leading to the necropolis of cava della pozzolana, and beyond it towards the area of bracciano. of this gate there remains only descriptions, and a breach in the walls, which here have a width at the base of 5 meters. the second gate ( b ), opened out onto the north cliff, where a new modern cemetery is under construction. at a point where the cliffs open out into a natural amphitheatre. this gate was mostly intended to give access to the banditaccia necropolis. the third gate ( c ), was along the continuation of the via degli inferi, which entered the city area, and reached the manganello temple. the fourth ( d ), was located below the temple, and gave access to the sea road, and some of the stone blocks are still visible on the site. the fifth ( e ), was on the present site of the castle ( castello ruspoli ), and also opened towards the sea. the sixth ( f ), and the seventh ( g ), were both on the south cliff, giving access to the sorbo and monte abetone necropoli, as well as the areas to the south of the city. the etruscans built a significant network of roads between their cities, and most of these roads were improved by the romans, and are still in use today. both the via clodia and the initial part of the via aurelia were first laid out by the etruscans. the via clodia runs from the tiber crossings in rome to sovana, in the area of lake bolsena. the aurelia is the coastal road which became a consular road in the second century b. c. in the city area there have been no regular excavations carried out, but only sporadic probings, notably those done by mengarelli in the 20 ' s in the area of the sports field, where he found traces of a temple dedicated to hera, and on a cliff above


been no regular excavations carried out, but only sporadic probings, notably those done by mengarelli in the 20 ' s in the area of the sports field, where he found traces of a temple dedicated to hera, and on a cliff above the manganello, where a structure was found, probably another temple, of unknown dedication. other excavations were carried out in the last century near the remains of the theatre, uncovering a number of marble slabs of the roman period, of enormous importance, with allegorical images of each of the major etruscan cities. these slabs are now preserved in the gregorian etruscan museum in the vatican. the structures in which they were found are classified as being roman. the necropolis areas the great development of ancient caere is shown by the number and wealth of the tombs discovered in its necropolis. the necropoli of cerveteri include the banditaccia, sorbo, cava della pozzolana, groppie di san antonio and monte abetone. the bandittacia represents one of the most interesting archaeological areas in the whole of the mediterranean. in the 5th century bce, a real city of the dead rose up with streets intersecting at right angles and areas devoted to worship. the tombs are more modest than in the previous period : the chambers are small and the style has become standardized. only in the last centuries was there a return to the underground tombs with a complex floor plan, the symbol of a return to power by the aristocracy. the tomb treasures include many bronze and silver objects, refined gold jewellery, vases of local production, including the famous bucchero ware and others imported from greece and painted terracotta objects including votive figures and heads. pyrgi was one of the ports of the city of caere, lying about eight miles away and was very famous for its sacred area, which was visited by phoenicians and etruscans alike. archaeological excavations have brought to light the remains of two sanctuaries dedicated to uni and the phoenician goddess astarte ( western form of ishtar ). the more ancient can be dated around the 6th century bc, whilst the more recent dates back to the middle of the 5th century bc. the pyrgi lamellae, a series of three inscriptions on rolls of gold foil ( two in etruscan and one on phoenician ) were discovered during the excavation of the older sanctuary, and describe a tyrant named thefarie velianas, who


##llae, a series of three inscriptions on rolls of gold foil ( two in etruscan and one on phoenician ) were discovered during the excavation of the older sanctuary, and describe a tyrant named thefarie velianas, who ruled over caere at this time. this was about the time of the great alliance between the etruscans and the phoenicians which led to the purging of the greeks from corsica, and the phoenician conquest of greek settlements in sardinia. the joint consecration of the temple by both sides of the alliance in the pyrgi inscriptions agrees well with historical traditions in that respect. the fragments of a mythological high relief which decorated the fronton of the more recent temple, and the three gold lamellae are on display in rome at the villa giulia museum. cerveteri is about 50 km north west of rome. from fiumicino airport, you can drive north along the highway ( allow about 20 minutes - toll section ). if you are relying on public transport, head for lepanto metro station and take a blue ' cotral ' bus ( destination ladispoli / cerveteri ). if returning to rome, buy a ' birg ' ticket, which will cost about 4 euros. the trip to cerveteri takes about 40 minutes. get off at cerveteri, which is the terminus. the terminus is next to the museum, located in the castello ruspoli, an imposing 11th century castle. there is accommodation available in cerveteri, ladispoli or civitavecchia ( further afield to the north ), contact details below. very few italian hotels have refrigerator or air conditioning. it is important to check. some will not accept credit cards, and will require a cash advance to confirm bookings. from the piazza in cerveteri, allow about 30 minutes ( hilly ) walk to the banditaccia necropolis, or there is a tourist bus which leaves infrequently. check with the tourist information centre. some useful contact numbers
