...work in enriching young women through the non-profit organization Strong Women, Strong Girls, the American Institute of Public Service honored Hyde with the Samuel S. Beard Award for Greatest Public Service by an Individual 35 Years or Younger, one of four national public service awards given out at Tuesday’s annual Jefferson Awards for Public Service ceremony...
Worry about the quality of the schools themselves is the key reason that parents leave, contradicting claims by many elected officials, who have blamed the high cost of Cambridge housing for pricing younger families out of the city. The 48-page study also found that parents who have left the system also favor a broader curriculum and less emphasis on testing, and that there is overwhelming opposition to expanding the school day from six to eight hours, as two elementary schools have recently done...
...famously liberal in accepting that his ex-wife Demi Moore has married a much younger man, Ashton Kutcher. For this he thanks--and this lets you see how insular fame is--Will Smith. "He was very wise, and I want to give him credit," Willis says. "He told me, 'You put the kids first. As an adult, a couple years will go by, and you're fine.' It was good advice, and I was smart enough to take it. And to pay it forward to my friends." It's hard to believe, but Willis honestly seems cool even when...
...After those surprising results, however, WHI narrowed its focus to study the women most likely to need hormone therapy - those under 60 and just experiencing menopause. And they found that younger post-menopausal women actually enjoyed a lower risk of adverse health effects from hormone therapy than their older counterparts. The new NEJM study specifically reports that women between the ages of 50 and 59 who have had hysterectomies and therefore used estrogen alone (not the estrogen-progestin combination) showed less calcium-based plaque - up to 40% less - in their heart arteries than those on placebo. That's great news...
...reason for that, researchers speculate, could be related to two things. One, it could simply reflect the aging of the arteries; younger women are more likely to have flexible, pliable arteries that respond to estrogen, which tends to discourage plaque formation. Older arteries, on the other hand, are more likely to be stiffer, and already burdened with fatty deposits and plaques; in the presence of these plaques, it turns out, estrogen may even have the reverse effect, causing them to destabilize and rupture, leading to blocked-up arteries and a heart attack...
