...high risk of false positives for older women, so a woman who has struggled for years to get pregnant and wishes to avoid the risks of a follow-up amnio might opt for the fully integrated test, even though that means waiting until the second trimester. For many others, speed is the priority. Dr. Malone hopes the study "will finally do away with the entirely arbitrary idea that women over 35 should be alarmed and have amniocentesis and women under 35 are not at risk." In fact, most babies with Down are born to women under 35, simply because...
...black Democrats in the South, has increased minority representation but decreased the number of House districts where Democrats can expect to compete. A Democratic House or Senate in 2006 remains a long shot, at best.

...distributors. Six years later, just over 400 of the world's 120,000 projection booths use digital. That could soon change. The kick-start came in July, when seven major Hollywood studios published a 176-page document that sets out the minimum acceptable technical standards for everything from playback speed and color contrast to audio quality and security encryption.

The speed with which Blinglish expressions are coined may signal disappointment for bofs (old people) trying to decode youthspeak. Brap (cool) and wix (wicked, as in good, but even cooler) these dictionaries may be, but they're already old school...
...fine day, a future Queen Leonor announced she wanted to marry a woman? The protocol boggles, but no problem. In Spain today that's fine, too. Even for someone like me, raised in a democracy and resident here for the past 15 years, it's hard to digest the speed and size of the changes wrought in Spain since Franco died. When I first visited in the late 1960s, driving around in a 1959 Hillman Husky shipped on the Southampton-Bilbao ferry, the tricornio-hatted Guardia Civil scared the churros out of me and my friends. Now, the Guardia address...
