Danish weekly running topless photos of UK's Kate

Lawyer Maud Sobel, left, is surrounded by reporters as she reads a statement by a French court which ordered a magazine publisher to hand over all digital copies of topless photos of Britain's Duchess of Cambridge and blocked the further publication of the images, at a court house in Nanterre, west of Paris, Tuesday Sept. 18, 2012. Under the ruling Tuesday, the French gossip magazine Closer faces a daily fine of euro 10,000 ($13,100) if it fails to hand over the photos taken during the royals' vacation in southern France and cannot disseminate them any further, including on its website and tablet app. (AP Photo/Remy de la Mauviniere)

(AP) ? The top editor of a Danish celebrity weekly says his magazine will hit the streets this week with the topless photos of Britain's likely future queen.

Kim Henningsen, editor in chief of Se & Hoer, says the pictures of Prince William's wife Kate will appear in a 16-page supplement sold with Thursday's edition.

Henningsen said Wednesday they want to show Denmark's entertainment fans "what these photos are all about."

He says the magazine had been offered 240 pictures but decided only to use 60 to 70 of them. He declined to say who sold them to the weekly or how much money they paid.

The topless photos have already been widely published in France, Italy, Ireland and on the Internet. A French court has banned future publication inside France.

Roofing Projects and the Divergent Cost Estimates Qualified Service ...











Many roofing ventures are extremely pricey and, usually, unmanageable for the house owner. As a competent property owner, you try to acquire as much details on your plan with the help of study and visit contractors prior to beginning anything. When you have decided on certain things, including material, color, design, and the roofing contractors to bargain with, you attempt to figure out who would give you the finest deal for the most work to make your investment well worth it. Below are a few techniques to acquire a final workable quote for the service you'll require from your roofing contractor.

Get the idea of how service providers come up with their quotes.

Your roofing contractor thinks about a few issues before he presents a cost estimate. After evaluating and assessing your rooftop, and then figuring out the material cost, he'll supply you an estimate, including charges for labor, tools, and miscellaneous services just like transporting of outdated roofing materials and clean ups.

Get tenders from three to five roofing companies.

You can check online for professionals in your place, or seek to ask family and friends for roofing companies to include in your list of likely service providers. By comparing approximations and assistance, you obtain an overview and a more clear picture of what could benefit your home and your resources. Remember, the most affordable isn't often the best, subsequently, evaluate your options and pick sensibly.

Flaunt your preferred company the lower bid from one more contractor.

If you reside in Spokane, Washington, there'll be over a dozen roofing contractors that'll plug their assistance, but only some will enter your lineup. After obtaining proposals from three to five respectable Spokane roofing contractors, present the copy of the most inexpensive cost estimate you can acquire to the firm you wish to get the job done for your home. Ask if they can polish their tender to the rate that you're eager to work with. Don't forget that approximations are not set in stone.

Spokane roofing contractors are more probable to deal with individuals who know what they're asking. So get your basic info, and figure out the factors that are non-negotiable to you.

If you're not delighted with a quote, it's more desirable to leave and check your Spokane roofing contractors list once again, than tolerate your remorses for a long time.

The two just started dating this past March and by the sounds of it Hale was the one who decided to end their brief relationship. The news was revealed after a fan sent a tweet about Hale? to Zylka this past Sunday.? “Your girlfriend is gorgeous and sorta perfect. Just thought you should know.” “Don’t have a girlfriend – she decided she was too good,? Zylka tweeted in response.? The 27-year old actor later deleted the message adding, “Never any disrespect towards anyone. Only if you say what you say you should stick to it. If you say you love then love.” Hale looks to be busy moving on even after speaking about the couple’s amazing chemistry “I was like ‘holy crap you’re gorgeous!’ It was like no one else was there.

Eating well during pregnancy reduces baby's obesity risk regardless of mom's size

Eating well during pregnancy reduces baby's obesity risk regardless of mom's size

Monday, September 17, 2012

If you are overweight and pregnant, your baby isn't destined to a life of obesity after all, according to a new research report published online in The FASEB Journal. In the report, a team of U.S. scientists show that modifying fat intake during pregnancy to a moderate level is enough to benefit the child regardless of the mother's size. Specifically, they found that a protein called "SIRT1" rewrites a developing fetus' histone code, which affects his or her "epigenetic likelihood" of being overweight or obese throughout his or her lifetime.

"We are finding that the cycle of obesity likely begins in the womb, however, we are also finding that obesity does not necessarily beget obesity," said Kjersti M. Aagaard, M.D., Ph.D., study author from the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. "A diet laden with fat changes the molecular machinery which chemically modifies the structure of the developing infant's genetic material. These commonly called 'histone code' changes are rewritten-at least in part-by SIRT1, which in turn, alters key regulators of fat and glucose metabolism in the infant. It is our hope that these early steps will in turn break the cycle of obesity in the generations to come."

To make this discovery, Aagaard and colleagues used three groups of pregnant primates. The first group ate a healthy pregnancy diet (13 percent fat), while the second group ate a high fat diet (35 percent fat) and became obese. The third group was kept on a high fat diet for several years, became obese, and then was put on a healthy diet. Researchers were able to tease apart the effects on the infant of being exposed during pregnancy to a healthy diet versus an unhealthy high fat diet. The sirtuins and the proteins, and the genes regulating glucose and fat metabolism were analyzed. Results suggest that the livers of infants exposed to the high fat diet, showed less SIRT1 and less sirtuin activity than in the control group. However, infants exposed to a healthy pregnancy diet in both lean and obese groups had restored sirtuin. To prove that SIRT1 was specifically chemically modifying the histone code, scientists created a dead enzyme version. Using high level mass spectrometry, it was discovered that while the live enzyme version of SIRT1 was very good at chemically modifying histone proteins (specifically "deacetylating" histone protein H3) the dead version was not.

"What this study shows once again is that eating a healthy diet while pregnant holds true, regardless of your size or shape," said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal. "Even if a woman isn't eating well before pregnancy, adopting good eating habits during pregnancy is still very good for the child and for her. This new report shows how diet affects offspring at the molecular level and points to new treatments for overweight people who were not fortunate enough to have mothers who ate well during pregnancy."

Kate Middleton's Legal Team Regretting Decision To Go Pro-Bono ...

kate middleton prince william topless photo legal team

What is this we're hearing??

According to a new report, Harbottle & Lewis might be wishing they hadn't agreed to serve the royals free of charge now that Kate Middleton's topless-turvy drama could have made them over a million!

Representing the Palace in all things Legal Dramz, the firm smiles through their work because the privilege of working for the Queen is payment enough.

But sources are now saying:

"The royal family has kept their legal team busy in the last few weeks, but lucky for them they don?t have to pay for their services. Harbottle & Lewis provide the royals with legal guidance free of charge ? simply because of the prestige they get from having them as their client."

"It?s held in high acclaim to be the legal firm that looks after the royal family?s best interests and has meant they have secured contracts with other high-profile clients because of that relationship."

"However, Harbottle & Lewis must be kicking themselves over that agreement. Fees for the Kate Middleton topless scandal could eventually rise to up to a million-and-a-half pounds. Add to that the cost of the damage control they provided for Prince Harry?s naked Las Vegas romp ? they could have made an absolute killing."

Hmmm?

We're not so sure if they're as depressed over it as speculation might assume. But yeah, that could have been a NICE payday.

Of course, if they didn't wanna do it for free, we're sure another legal team would have gladly taken the challenge!! So we'd bet they're juuuust fine.

Kate's current state of peace, on the other hand?

Egypt's president, top Turkish diplomat talk Syria

CAIRO (AP) ? Egypt's President received Turkey's foreign minister on Monday for talks on the Syrian crisis, hours before regional heavyweights convene in hopes to end the country's civil war.

The Cairo meeting will be the first time foreign ministers from the four-nation "Islamic Quartet" gather for dialogue on Syria, in an initiative launched by Egypt's new Islamist president Mohammed Morsi.

The grouping, proposed by Morsi in Saudi Arabia last month, brings together three supporters of the Syrian rebellion ? Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt ? with the Syrian regime's top regional ally, Iran.

Egyptian presidential spokesman Yasser Ali said that Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told Morsi that Iran's support and financial backing of the Syrian regime is well known.

According to Ali, Davutoglu also said that he expected the quartet meeting later in the evening to take a close look at the Iranian-Syrian relationship in order to persuade Damascus to stop the bloodshed.

Cairo is trying to convince Iran to drop its unquestioned support of Syria's embattled President Bashar Assad in exchange for help in easing Tehran's regional isolation, officials close to the Egyptian presidency said last week.

Morsi was said to have offered a package of incentives for Tehran, including the restoration of full diplomatic ties and efforts toward reconciliation with wealthy Gulf nations ? a significant diplomatic prize for the Islamic Republic, especially as it comes under mounting pressure over its disputed nuclear program.

Upon arrival at the foreign ministry in Cairo for the meeting, Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said he was coming with a message of peace, brotherhood and assurance.

Notably absent is Saudi's Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal, who earlier this month was recovering from abdominal surgery in the United States. His deputy is attending the meeting instead.

Alongside the foreign ministers, the U.N.'s special envoy for Syria, Lakhdar Ibrahimi, is scheduled to join the group at a dinner following the meeting. Ibrahimi met with Assad while in Syria over the weekend.

Meanwhile, the carnage shows no sign of abating. Syrian activists say nearly 5,000 people were killed in August, the highest monthly total since the crisis began in March 2011 ? bringing the overall death toll from the conflict to some 23,000.

Turkey, which hosts some 80,000 Syrian refugees, has accused its southern neighbor of "state terrorism" and allowed rebels to use its territory as a base. Saudi Arabia has taken a leading role in supporting the opposition seeking to topple the regime, while Egypt's president has urged Assad to take a lesson from the Arab Spring uprisings that deposed other leaders and step down.

Syria has responded by saying Morsi's comments were "blatant interference in Syrian internal affairs" and accused Turkey of "practicing terrorism against the Syrian people by harboring, supporting and training armed terrorist groups."

Driver's Licenses For Undocumented Immigrants Could Be A Big ...

FRESNO, Calif. -- When 17-year-old Alondra Esquivel needs to get from her rural central California home to classes at Fresno State University 20 miles away, she must rely on rides from her relatives or her boyfriend.

Most Californians her age can drive. But Esquivel, a college freshman, was brought illegally to the United States from Mexico when she was 7. And California has denied driving privileges to immigrants lacking legal status since 1993.

"Without a license ... I have to depend on others to do the basic things," said Esquivel, who lives in rural Parlier, Calif., has classes at the college four times a week in Fresno. "It's a big inconvenience."

But Esquivel soon could get driving privileges: She is one of an estimated million eligible for a new federal program that temporarily defers deportation and grants work permits to people who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. California has the largest number of potential applicants.

The new immigration policy has brought to the forefront the long-running and bitter debate over whether illegal immigrants should have access to driver's licenses. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said that each state could determine whether to issue licenses or extend other benefits to young immigrants who qualify for the deferred status.

Some states, such as Oregon and Georgia, have announced that they will grant driving privileges to those eligible for the new program. Others, such as Arizona and Mississippi, have vowed to deny them.

California legislators this month approved a bill that would allow an estimated 450,000 eligible young immigrants in the state to use the federal work permits at the Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of lawful presence in the country. The bill is now headed to the governor.

For young people like Esquivel, foreign-born but steeped in America's language and lifestyles, the single administrative policy at the federal level, coupled with a state decision, could spell a life-changing moment ? transforming school and work opportunities, daily nuisances and even social lives.

In California, where the automobile is king and car-culture dominates, the change could be most profound. Nearly inaccessible without a car, the state is famous for its freeways, streets lacking sidewalks and spotty or nonexistent public transportation. Driving is more than a practical necessity for Californians: it's a birthright.

Illegal immigrants in California who can't drive face a long series of daily inconveniences and calculated risks. Some drive without a license, unable to find another way to get to work or school. Others depend on family, friends and co-workers for rides.

It's especially hard on young people like Esquivel, who was raised in the U.S., but has had to miss out on the quintessential American rite of passage. She got top grades at Parlier High School, earning a merit scholarship to attend college, and plans to become an elementary school teacher. But at an age when getting behind the wheel seems pivotal, Esquivel can't drive to the mall or to see her friends, not to mention to school or work.

"Sometimes I feel like going out, but I can't really do that," she said.

Esquivel was smuggled by relatives through a border checkpoint in a car with her younger sister ? an experience she barely remembers.

In high school, she watched classmates get driver's licenses and cars as soon as they turned 16. Esquivel and a few others could not apply because of their legal status.

"It was hard," she said. "I felt left out. They were able to do things, go places, and I couldn't."

Parlier, population 14,500, has little in the way of public transportation, stores or services. Residents drive virtually everywhere ? to get to work, grocery shopping, to the doctor and to church.

Esquivel's parents, who pick grapes, olives and other crops in nearby fields, don't have time to drive her places and have not allowed Esquivel to drive without a license, because it's too dangerous, she said.

"If I get stopped, I could get deported," she said. "Things like that worry them."

Numerous bills to grant licenses to those without legal status in California have failed or been vetoed by several governors over the past decade.

Still, the commute to college has proved a challenge. Family members have to wait for hours while Esquivel is in class. And while the young woman's boyfriend, a U.S. citizen, also studies at Fresno State, their schedules don't coincide.

Her parents told her she might soon have to drive on her own, which fills Esquivel with dread. For the past month, she has occasionally sat behind the wheel with a relative in the passenger seat, in lieu of driving lessons.

Esquivel, who is in the process of applying for the new immigration program, hopes a license will come with it. To benefit, immigrants must prove they arrived in the United States before they turned 16, were younger than 31 as of June 15, have been living in the country at least five years, are in school or graduated, and have not been convicted of certain crimes.

Young immigrants who qualify won't get permanent legal residency or a path to citizenship, but will receive a work authorization card and a Social Security number.

"I'm really hoping the law that allows us to drive will pass," Esquivel said. "It would be a great relief for me."

Critics of the new immigration program say granting licenses to young immigrants like Esquivel would reward and accommodate illegal immigrants.

"We're already paying for the costs of illegal immigration. Why should we pay for additional benefits?" said Bob Dane, spokesman with the Federation for American Immigration Reform in Washington D.C. "The driver's license is a breeder document which opens up a full spectrum of rights and privileges" such as access to banking accounts, credit cards and mortgages.

But immigrant advocates say denying licenses to people approved under the new immigration program is illogical.

"This is a common sense issue," said Marielena Hincapie, executive director of the Los Angeles based National Immigration Law Center. "These are young people who will have valid work authorization and Social Security numbers. They will need to drive to school, to work, to medical appointments. From a policy perspective, granting them licenses makes sense."

For Esquivel, a license would also mean fulfilling another wish: driving 200 miles north to Sacramento to visit grandparents she has not seen for years.

AdWatch: New GOP ad disputes Obama claims on taxes

WASHINGTON (AP) ? TITLE: "Broke"

LENGTH: 30 seconds.

AIRING: Crossroads GPS, the nonprofit arm of a Republican super PAC, says it has bought $5.3 million of airtime in Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia to counter an ad by President Barack Obama's campaign.

KEY IMAGES: Video of Obama saying his tax plan won't raise taxes on families making less than $250,000, followed by the word, "Untrue," on a television screen.

"Middle-class Americans face a huge tax increase because of Obamacare," says a female narrator as the image of a woman, her head in her hands, appears on the screen. "Now, Obama claims Mitt Romney will raise middle-class taxes. Also untrue. Romney's plan lowers middle-class tax rates by 20 percent. Barack Obama ? dishonest on taxes because he's failed on jobs."

ANALYSIS: Both the Republican ad and Obama's earlier ad show the importance of middle-class voters to the campaigns. Republicans want to portray Obama as violating a 2008 campaign pledge not to raise taxes on the middle class, while Democrats want to portray Romney as favoring the rich, even if it means raising taxes on others.

Both campaigns overstate the other's desire to raise taxes on the middle class.

The Crossroads GPS ad says Obama's new health care law will increase the middle-class tax burden. Starting in 2014, the law requires people to pay a penalty ? which the Supreme Court has labeled a tax ? but only if they don't get health insurance.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that about 4 million people will have to pay the penalty, which will average about $1,000 apiece in 2016, when the penalties are fully phased in. Many of those people will be middle class, according to the CBO.

The Crossroads GPS ad also disputes a claim by Obama that Romney's tax plan would raise taxes on middle-class families by $2,000. Obama made the claim in his speech at the Democratic National Convention, and his campaign makes it again in its own ad.

Obama's claim relies on a study by the Tax Policy Center, a research group formed by two Washington think tanks: the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution. Their study, however, is far more nuanced than Obama's claim.

The study analyzes Romney' plan to reform the tax code in a way that reduces income tax rates by 20 percent, maintains tax breaks for investment income, eliminates the estate tax and the alternative minimum tax, and pays for it all by eliminating or reducing unspecified tax credits, deductions and exemptions. The goal would be a simpler tax code that raises the same amount of money as the current system, but does it in a more efficient manner.

Romney says his plan wouldn't raise taxes on anyone. But the study concludes it wouldn't be possible for Romney to meet all of his stated goals without shifting some of the tax burden from people who make more than $200,000 to people who make less.

In one scenario, the study says, Romney's proposal could result in a $2,000 tax increase for families who make less than $200,000 and have children.

The study created such a strong backlash from Romney's campaign that the authors issued a follow-up paper that sought to answer some frequently asked questions, including this one:

Question: Did you say that Governor Romney wants to raise taxes on the middle-class?

Answer: "No. We said that simultaneously achieving all five of the tax goals stated above would result in lower taxes for high-income households and thus ? because of the revenue-neutrality constraint ? would require raising taxes on other households."

Pleistocene Park? Scientists edge closer to cloning woolly mammoth.

An international team of scientists in Siberia have discovered well-preserved woolly mammoth remains that may contain living cells, brining science a step closer to cloning the prehistoric animal.

By Nastassia Astrasheuskaya,?Reuters / September 12, 2012

In this 2008 photo, a sculpture of mammoths is seen in the Siberian town of Khanty-Mansiisk.

Scientists who found well preserved woolly mammoth remains in a remote part of Russia hope they might contain the necessary material to clone the long extinct beast.

The Russian-led international team found the remains, including fur and bone marrow, with some cell nuclei intact, in the Ust-Yansk area of the Yakutia region on Russia's Arctic coast.

The next step will be to search for living cells among the material which was preserved in the Siberian permafrost, said the Russian scientist who led the expedition with members from the United States, Canada, South Korea, Sweden and Great Britain.

"All we need for cloning is one living cell, which means it can reproduce autonomously. Then it will be no problem for us to multiply them to tens of thousands cells," said Semyon Grigoryev, a professor at North-East Federal University (NEFU).

However, media reports that the scientists were close to making a "Jurassic Park"-style breakthrough by bringing the giant mammal back to life after thousands of years of extinction, were exaggerated.

"We are counting on our region's permafrost to have kept some cells alive. But it is unlikely," said Grigoryev, pointing out that the remains would need to have been at a stable temperature between -4 and -20 Celsius (between 28 and -4 Fahrenheit) for any cells to remain alive.

Some media had reported that living cells had been discovered, but Grigoryev said that had been due to a translation error as the word "intact" had been translated from English into Russian as "living".

"What we have found are intact cells, with a whole nucleus," he said, adding that living cells, if found, would provide the necessary samples to make a living clone.

The Yana 2012 expedition found the remains last week at the depth of 5-6 metres (16-20 feet) in a tunnel dug by locals searching for rare and valuable mammoth bone.

A previous find, discovered in the same region two years ago, yielded the remains of a 40,000-year-old female baby woolly mammoth, named Yuka by scientists, as well as those of an ancient bison and horse. Those finds lacked living cells.

To determine whether the cells are living, they will be examined by a South Korean scientist, Hwang Woo Suk, whose Sooam Biotech has done several animal clonings, including the world's first commercial dog cloning.

Scientists have made several attempts to revive mammoths using cells of remains since 1990s, none of them successful. (Editing by Robin Pomeroy)

New Internet Privacy Laws Introduced that ... - Business 2 Community

Many people who use the internet take their rights on the web for granted. I know I do. It?s so easy to think the anonymity and massiveness of the net essentially secure your safety and privacy, regardless if you?re doing something wrong or not. The majority of us use the net for legal reasons, but unbeknownst to us, the privacy laws regarding our communications, mobile devices, and our apps are well behind-the-times. Finally, things are looking up for everyday internet users and businesses that operate online.

What the New Laws Do

Here?s some information I doubt you knew, and it might make you a little angry too. I know I was shocked when I found out. According to NBCNews, all law enforcement needs to do is prove ?reasonable grounds that the information gleaned? from your email accounts ?could be useful.? No warrant, no normal process for search and seizure?just one simple, ?easily cleared? barrier for law enforcement to gain access to all of your emails. Why? Because the old Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 is outdated, plain and simple.

Senator Patrick Leahy is supporting a bill that as NBCNews reports, ?would finally require law enforcement to obtain a probable cause warrant to rifle through archived emails.? If this bill is passed, it means all of our communications are better protected, whether you use business email, personal email, or email stored entirely in the cloud. There will no longer be a difference between remote and locally stored email in they eyes of the law. All types of email will gain the protections we?re used to having in our physical world.

A Law to Protect the Mobile You

The second privacy law that is on the table for a vote concerns those lovely gadgets we can?t get enough of: our smartphones. This law also affects some of the platforms that we, as individuals and as businesses, use on a daily basis to communicate with our customers such as Facebook, Google+, and any apps a company or individual might put out or use to reach customers.

So what happens with this second law? Well According to Joe Hindy at the Android Authority blog, ?To put it simply, all mobile applications would have to ask you for permission to [access] your data before they take it.? Yep, if you didn?t know by now, many apps and social media sites are constantly taking personal and location information, and they never even ask if they can.

The law comes with big penalties for violators because the $1000 to $3000 fines are, as Joe writes again, ?levied per infraction.? That could mean hefty fines if your user-base is in the hundreds of thousands and your app automatically takes information about its users!

On the heels of ACTA, CISPA, and SOPA: This is Good News

The past year or so we saw some terrible laws coming out of Congress and the Senate. One of them sparked one of the most motivated and powerful protest movements the internet has seen. The resistance to SOPA caused opponents to black out their sites to raise awareness. Opponents utilized every form of social media from Twitter to Facebook to spread awareness. Even big players like Google helped participate in the e-civil disobedience campaign that rocked the web and made headlines almost every day.

After the actions of this movement, SOPA lost all of its support. Not even the President was behind it. In fact, most politicians are now opposed to over-arching and freedom-suppressing bills like ACTA, CISPA, and SOPA. With those actions, the people and businesses of the web showed that we are capable of operating and doing business in a free web environment. The internet is a great place to exchange ideas and do commerce, but legislating it in ways that suppress or limit our freedoms is not a good idea.

For many privacy advocates, this is a big step forward. I personally hope these bills pass. We?re currently operating on extremely outdated laws, and even if you do nothing wrong online, ensuring we have the protections we have in the physical world is important. Our lives and our businesses are increasingly moving online, and we need to make sure we are protecting them with as much attention as we pay to protecting our lives offline. The internet is vital for business, free speech, and communication, but protecting our freedom and privacy on the web comes first.

Do you support or oppose the bills that are being proposed? You should let your representative know (after you respond here, of course)!

Should I marry him? If you're having doubts, don't ignore them, psychology study suggests

ScienceDaily (Sep. 13, 2012) ? Doubt is not a pleasant mental state, but certainty is a ridiculous one. -- Voltaire

In the first scientific study to test whether doubts about getting married are more likely to lead to an unhappy marriage and divorce, UCLA psychologists report that when women have doubts before their wedding, their misgivings are often a warning sign of trouble if they go ahead with the marriage.

The UCLA study demonstrates that pre-wedding uncertainty, especially among women, predicts higher divorce rates and less marital satisfaction years later.

"People think everybody has premarital doubts and you don't have to worry about them," said Justin Lavner, a UCLA doctoral candidate in psychology and lead author of the study. "We found they are common but not benign. Newlywed wives who had doubts about getting married before their wedding were two-and-a-half times more likely to divorce four years later than wives without these doubts. Among couples still married after four years, husbands and wives with doubts were significantly less satisfied with their marriage than those without doubts.

"You know yourself, your partner and your relationship better than anybody else does; if you're feeling nervous about it, pay attention to that," he added. "It's worth exploring what you're nervous about."

The psychologists studied 464 newlywed spouses (232 couples) in Los Angeles within the first few months of marriage and conducted follow-up surveys with the couples every six months for four years. At the time of marriage, the average age of the husbands was 27, and the average age of the wives was 25. The research is published in the online version of the Journal of Family Psychology, published by the American Psychological Association, and will appear in an upcoming print edition.

When asked, "Were you ever uncertain or hesitant about getting married?" at their initial interview, 47 percent of husbands and 38 percent of wives said yes. Yet while women were less likely than men to have doubts, their doubts were more meaningful in predicting trouble after the wedding, the researchers found.

Among women, 19 percent of those who reported pre-wedding doubts were divorced four years later, compared with 8 percent of those who did not report having doubts. For husbands, 14 percent who reported premarital doubts were divorced four years later, compared with 9 percent who did not report having doubts.

Doubt proved to be a decisive factor, regardless of how satisfied the spouses were with their relationships when interviewed, whether their parents were divorced, whether the couple lived together before the wedding and how difficult their engagement was.

In 36 percent of couples, the husband and wife had no doubts about getting married. Of those couples, 6 percent got divorced within four years. When only the husband had doubts, 10 percent of the couples got divorced. When only the wife had doubts, 18 percent of couples got divorced. When both partners had doubts, 20 percent of the couples got divorced.

"What this tells us," Lavner said, "is that when women have doubts before their wedding, these should not be lightly dismissed. Do not assume your doubts will just go away or that love is enough to overpower your concerns. There's no evidence that problems in a marriage just go away and get better. If anything, problems are more likely to escalate."

Thomas Bradbury, a UCLA psychology professor and co-author of the study, compared the situation to finding something disturbing on your skin that you hadn't noticed before.

"If you see something unusual on your skin, should you ignore it and go to the beach, or see a doctor? Be smart and don't ignore it -- and don't ignore your doubts either," said Bradbury, who co-directs the Relationship Institute at UCLA. "Have a conversation and see how it goes. Do you think the doubts will go away when you have a mortgage and two kids? Don't count on that."

The psychologists are not advising women with doubts to necessarily end the relationship, they say.

"Talk about it and try to work through it," Bradbury said. "You hope that the big issues have been addressed before the wedding."

Benjamin Karney, a UCLA professor of psychology and co-director of the Relationship Institute at UCLA, was a co-author of the study.

The research was federally funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (part of the National Institutes of Health) and the National Science Foundation, as well as by UCLA's Academic Senate.

Lampard PK salvages England tie against Ukraine

By ROB HARRIS

AP Sports Writer

Associated Press Sports

updated 8:29 p.m. ET Sept. 11, 2012

WEMBLEY, England (AP) - England's soccer team found a way to quickly dissipate the nation's summer of sporting success and bring back the gloom.

After the Olympics and Paralympics created a feel-good atmosphere in London, the national team returned to Wembley on Tuesday night to play Ukraine and narrowly avoided what would have been its first competitive home loss in five years.

Frank Lampard converted a penalty kick in the 87th minute, giving England a 1-1 tie in Roy Hodgson's first competitive home match as coach.

"We rely on him and he's done the job again for us tonight," captain Steven Gerrard said.

Lampard scored his 26th international goal after Yevhen Khacheridi was called for a hand ball. One minute later, Gerrard was ejected after received his second yellow card, for fouling Denys Garmash from behind. Gerrard became the first England captain to be sent off since David Beckham in 2005.

"These games are not easy and in the end getting a point is a good result considering we were 1-0 down with 10 minutes to go," Lampard said.

Yevhen Konoplianka scored for Ukraine in the 39th minute, crisply curling the ball from 25 yards into the top corner of Joe Hart's goal.

"The young players we had in the squad were probably a little bit intimidated we were leading against England," Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin said through a translator. "The England team has excelled in the second half and we have got tired."

England (1-0-1) is second in Group H on goal difference behind Montenegro (1-0-1), which won 6-0 at San Marino. The group winner qualifies for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and eight of the nine European second-place teams advance to playoffs.

"I'm not prepared to say it wasn't a great performance," Hodgson said.

England was missing Wayne Rooney, John Terry and Ashley Cole because of injuries. Ukraine was seeking to avenge its 1-0 loss to England at Donetsk in the European Championship three months ago, when officials wrongly didn't count a goal by Marko Devic despite the ball crossing the line. Devic only made a late appearance in Tuesday's game.

This time England felt aggrieved.

Jermain Defoe believed he had scored in the 10th minute but the goal was disallowed by Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir because Defoe used his arm to push Andriy Yarmolenko while cutting into the penalty area.

"It wasn't a foul at all so we're very disappointed with that," Gerrard said.

England's Tom Cleverley squandered two good chances in the first half of his third England appearance. The midfielder headed straight at goalkeeper Andri Piatov's feet from point-blank range after being set up by Defoe.

And in the search for an equalizer, there was not enough urgency from Cleverley when Lampard squared the ball with precision to him, making a sloppy connection with his heel and missing the target.

"We went a goal down to a wonder goal but I was really pleased with the way we kept tidy, kept trying and didn't resort to any hopeful long balls," Hodgson said. "We kept playing through and creating chances and we were rewarded in the end ... because had we lost the game it would have been very harsh on us."
