Eating a Healthy Amount During Pregnancy
The number of additional calories you need during pregnancy depends on your stage of pregnancy. During the first trimester, there is no increase in your calorie needs. During the second and third trimesters, an extra 300 calories will cover the increased energy needs of most women. 300 calories is not much!! Choose foods with lots of nutrients to get those extra calories.

Food combinations that contain around 300 calories each:

• One slice of bread with 1 1/2 tbsp. peanut butter & an 8 oz. glass
  of skim milk
• One serving of lasagna without meat
• 1 small regular fast food hamburger
• 1 oz. pretzels, 1 oz. cheddar cheese, and an apple
• 8 oz. cup of fruit flavored yogurt and 1/2 banana
• 1 low-fat fast food milkshake
• A granola bar, 1/3 cup raisins, and a medium size carrot

Introduction to RFID
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the quintessential Pervasive Computing technology. Touted as the replacement for traditional barcodes, RFID’s wireless identification capabilities promise to revolutionize our industrial, commercial, and medical experiences. The heart of the utility is that RFID makes gathering information about physical objects easy. Information about RFID tagged objects can be transmitted for multiple objects simultanously, through physical barriers, and from a distance. In line with Mark Weiser’s concept of .ubiquitous computing.[20], RFID tags could turn our interactions with computing infrastructure into something subconscious and sublime.

Parents are teens’ first and best teachers. As a parent, you can use The Pregnancy Pact movie to start a family conversation about your own views, values and expectations – and ideas for how to prevent teen pregnancy in the first place. Watch this movie with your teens or with a group of parents and teens together to explore in greater depth some of the issues raised in the movie. This guide is also useful for youth program leaders, teachers and others who work with and care about teens. If you are a non-profit organization or teacher, you can order a free copy of the film and discussion guide for teens to use for educational purposes by visiting www.mylifetime.com

Issues to talk about

Evalation Design
A prospective randomized, pretestposttest control group design was implemented to assess midpregnancy and endof-pregnancy smoking status from selfreports and saliva cotinine tests. At the first visit and after the 994 patients gave their informed consent, a computer-generated system randomly assigned them to two groups: Experimental (E) Group (493 patients) and Control (C) Group (501 patients). After randomization, 93 E Group and 87 C Group patients became ineligible due towithdrawal from public health care, a miscarriage, or an abortion. A total of 814 pregnant smokers-400 E Group and 414 C Group patients-were eligible for follow-up.

Fonmative and Process Evaluation
The formative evaluation (noted above) was conducted at the four clinics with a sample of269 patients (100 smokers and 169 nonsmokers) recruited from 300 consecutive intakes. A 35% smoking rate (105/300) and a 10% refusal rate (31/300) was observed. The sample of 100 smokers served as a Historical Comparison Group (C Group) to document pretrial baseline prevalence rates and “normal” quit rates from the first visit to childbirth. Clinic nurses and administrators reviewed and field tested data and saliva collection methods with the 269 patients.
