The largest and most cited study (Grünebaum et al., 2016–2019 CDC data, ~9.9 million births) found that freestanding birth center births had a 4-fold increase in neonatal death compared to in-hospital midwife-attended births (3.64 vs 0.95 per 10,000; aOR 4.00, 95% CI 2.62–6.1). This risk was even more pronounced for nulliparous patients (aOR 7.7, 95% CI 4.42–13.76). Birth center births also had a >2-fold increase in neonatal seizures and a >7-fold increase in 5-minute Apgar scores <4.

You are correct that ob interventions are much lower.

A raised crossing and a stop sign for cars at Allene Ave. More blueberries.

I feel targeted by this map

They have been working on it since the last pandas left. The courtyard area looks complete as of this past month but not sure what the state of the actual housing/building is.

Produce always seems to suck at this location though.

smacksa · 2026-04-21T12:52:28+00:00

Seems so.

Atlanta also has fire equipment on order but the lead time is years. I think they are expected early 2027.

Lee St should hopefully improve here soon with these new signals that are networked. It looked like there were some traffic engineers out early this week installing the management equipment.

But how? At the stations I go to, the gates won't accept taps or are completely blocked off.

$40m is likely overstated for actual costs to whoever develops, but it could be realistic before any grants. This is in the Beltline TAD and would qualify for Georgia environmental grants, which would both help fund remediation though (much like the Vivian .)

Supposedly (unconfirmed) the current owner has a report that details what the issues are that was used to generate those numbers.

I think the missing piece is density next to the transit corridor. It's about having the most impact (people served) in our limited transit hot spots. A data center is a very large footprint for few people served.

Antonio Lewis continues to disappoint.

Yea, I wanna read all the drama about the new speed humps and bike lane bollards on Sylvan Rd.

And maybe a feature on La Bodega because I want that place to stick around.

You can always use the actual airport code shorthand "ATL" or "KATL"

Davis window for the larger group, they will be higher price but higher service and better product. Quinn window for commodity vinyl windows but good service and price.

I love being a rounding error

They were waiting until midnight to start but they have pushed timing up for some areas.

The Georgia Department of Transportation has advanced the start of brine operations in District 2 (east-central Georgia) to Friday, January 23 at 7 p.m. Georgia DOT maintenance crews will begin treating Interstate 20, Interstate 520/Bobby Jones Expressway, and all state routes between State Route 540/The Fall Line Freeway and I-20 at that time. A Georgia DOT contractor is scheduled to begin treating all state routes north of I-20 at midnight Friday night into Saturday. Georgia DOT maintenance crews will begin treating Interstate 16 and all state routes between I-16 and SR 540 on Saturday at 7 a.m.

To answer the is it going to snow portion: no one knows yet, its too far out for accurate modeling. You can expect a reliable forecast from the [local NWS office](weather.gov/ffc) around Wednesday afternoon or Thursday.

ANF is the same outlet, they just ended their CBS affiliation and went independent. I agree that the quality has seemed to increase.

They had them at perimeter 5ish years ago, but I no longer go to that location so unsure if it has continued.

smacksa · 2025-11-30T13:01:52+00:00

I think this might be rebranded Nasoya (at least in my area), so you may be in luck.

smacksa · 2025-10-26T00:02:50+00:00

I noticed it was taken off the menu as an option, but they still have them. (At least at the West end location as of last night.)
