The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased dramatically in the last two decades and numerous efforts to understand, intervene on, and prevent this significant threat to children's health are underway for many segments of the pediatric population. Understanding the prevalence of obesity in populations of children with developmental disorders is an important undertaking, as the factors that give rise to obesity may not be the same as for typically developing children, and because prevention and treatment efforts may need to be tailored to meet their needs and the needs of their families. The goal of the current study was to estimate the prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents with autism.
This study was a secondary data analysis of cross-sectional nationally representative data collected by telephone interview of parents/guardians on 85,272 children ages 3-17 from the 2003-2004 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH). Autism was determined by response to the question, "Has a doctor or health professional ever told you that your child has autism?" Children and adolescents were classified as obese accordingto CDC guidelines for body mass index (BMI) for age and sex.
The prevalence of obesity in children with autism was 30.4% compared to 23.6% of children without autism (p = .075). The unadjusted odds of obesity in children with autism was 1.42 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.00, 2.02, p = .052) compared to children without autism.
Based on US nationally representative data, children with autism have a prevalence of obesity at least as high as children overall. These findings suggest that additional research is warranted to understand better the factors that influence the development of obesity in this population of children.
Obesity has become a significant health concern in children in the United States, with the prevalence of childhood obesity having tripled over the last twenty years. The current prevalence of obesity among children and adolescents in the United States ages 2-19 years is 16.3% and the prevalence of overweight is 31.9%[1]. Childhood obesity is associated with an increased risk for elevated cardiovascular risk factor levels, Type 2 diabetes, orthopedic problems, sleep apnea, and menstrual irregularities[2]. Children who are overweight or obese are more likely to be obese as adults which increases their risk for chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers[3-5].
Despite a growing literature on the problem of childhood obesity in the general population, little research has been done to examine this problem in children with developmental disabilities, including children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), a population of children who may be particularly vulnerable to development of obesity by virtue of the complex behavioral, physical, and psychosocial difficulties that they experience.
Autism is a developmental disorder that has an onset in childhood, usually by 3 years of age. Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is a commonly used term to include the diagnostic categories of autistic disorder, PDD-Not Otherwise Specified, Asperger syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, and Rett syndrome (although these latter two disorders are rare). The prevalence of ASDs is currently estimated to be anywhere between 1-in-150 to 1-in-91 individuals[6,7] Individuals with ASDs exhibit delayed and disordered language development, difficulties in reciprocal communication and social skills, stereotypic behaviors, a tendency towards behavioral rigidity, and sensory and behavioral difficulties.
Only a few studies have reported data on weight status of children with ASDs. Several studies have found varying prevalences of obesity in children and adolescents [8-12]. The results from these studies suggest that the prevalence of obesity in children with autism may be as high as, if not higher than, the general population of children. However, many of these studies had small sample sizes, no comparison group, and were conducted more than ten years ago.
The purpose of the present study was to use nationally representative data from the National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) to determine the prevalence of obesity in children with autism compared to children who do not have autism.
The National Survey of Children's Health 2003 [13] is a module of the State and Local Area Integrated Telephone Survey (SLAITS) which was jointly sponsored by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau of the Health Resources and Services Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics. The purpose of the NSCH was to obtain state and national prevalence estimates of the physical and emotional health of children ages 0-17. The population sampled included typically developing children as well as children with special health care needs, including ASDs.
Data were collected between January 2003 and July 2004 using a computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) system. Sampling was accomplished by random digit-dialing a sample of households from all 50 states and the District of Columbia and identified those households that had one or more children under the age of 18. One child per household was randomly selected to be the focus of the survey. Respondents were the parent or guardian who was most knowledgeable about the child and the child's health and health care. The final sample comprised 102,353 children ages 0-17 years. The weighted response rate was 55.3%[14].
Trained interviewers asked respondents a series of questions regarding the physical, emotional, and behavioral health of the sample child. We confined our analysis to children ages 3-17 years because autism is most often diagnosed after this age. To determine the presence of autism, respondents were asked, "Has a doctor or health professional ever told you that your child has autism?" The unweighted sample (i.e., the number of actual respondents) of children with autism was 483 children. This sample included children who also reported a co-occurring diagnosis of one or more other health conditions including sensory deficits, behavioral or conduct problems, a developmental delay, or physical impairment. Almost all of the subjects with autism (94%) had one or more of these additional conditions, in contrast to 17% of the comparison group.
To determine weight status, respondents were asked, "How tall is [child] now?" and "How much does [child] weigh now?" Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from these respondent-reported heights and weights and was categorized as recommended by the CDC,[15] such that children with a BMI in excess of the 95th percentile for age and sex were considered obese. A large percentage of parents were unable to report either their child's height (9.9%) or weight (3.6%), and thus BMI is missing for 11.6% of the cohort (5.5% of children with autism). As a result, the sample included 454 children with autism who had data on BMI and were between 3 and 17 years old.
Sampling weights that adjust for survey non-response and unequal selection probabilities are provided in the NSCH public-use data set to support generation of population-based estimates. Sampling weights were applied in all analyses we present. The complex sample design of the NSCH was accounted for in variance estimates using SAS Survey Procedures (PROC SURVEYFREQ, PROC SURVEYLOGISTIC, SAS V9.1, SAS Institute Inc, Cary NC). Design-adjusted Chi Square tests (PROC SURVEY FREQ) were used to compare obesity prevalence between children with autism and children not so identified. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the prevalence odds ratio for obesity associated with autism.
The study was reviewed and approved for exemption by the University of Massachusetts Medical School Institutional Review Board.
The prevalence of autism among U.S. children and adolescents over age 3 was estimated as 0.5346%, or 1 in 189 (SE = 0.0417; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.4462 - 0.6096). Demographic characteristics of the sample are shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Demographic characteristics of children with and without autism
The prevalence of obesity in children with autism was 30.4% compared to 23.6% of children without autism (p = 0.075). Children with autism were more likely to be obese than children without autism; the unadjusted odds of obesity in children with autism was 1.42 (95% CI, 1.00, 2.02, p = .052) compared to children without autism. These findings are presented in Table 2.
Table 2. Obesity in children with autism compared to children without autism
The results of this study suggest that children with autism are at least as likely to be obese as children who do not have autism. Based on our analysis, our best estimate indicates that children with autism are 40% more likely to be obese compared with children without autism. However, because the number of children with autism assessed was small, estimates cannot be broken out by age and sex of the child, and the confidence interval for the overall prevalence of obesity in children with autism is wide. Thus, our estimate is consistent both with children with autism having the same prevalence of obesity as other children as well as children with autism being twice as likely to be obese as other children.
Although obesity is always a result of an energy imbalance, the specific factors that contribute to excess energy intake and/or low energy expenditure among various subgroups of the general population are not yet well understood. Our analyses of the National Survey of Children's Health are descriptive and not designed to explore risk factors for obesity in children with autism. For this reason we did not adjust the estimates presented for sociodemographic or other covariates. Children with ASDs may have atypical physical activity and eating patterns that are uniquely associated with the development of obesity. For example, children with ASDs are known to have motor impairments that may adversely affect their ability to participate in sports or physical activities successfully. Such motor impairments include poor motor skills, unevenness of developmental milestone acquisition, low muscle-tone, oral-motor problems, and postural instability[16-23]. In addition, children with ASDs may experience low levels of physical activity due to their impairments in social skills which may limit participation in structured activities with peers. In fact, a recent study found that praxis/motor planning in children with autism was strongly correlated with the social, communicative, and behavioral impairments that define the disorder[24].
Children with ASDs have also been reported to have unusual eating habits, most frequently described as overly selective. A handful of small studies have documented that children with ASDs have aversions to specific textures, colors, smells, temperatures, and brand names of foods, with some preferences for soft and sweet foods [25-28]. In a larger study, Schreck et al. [29] reported that children with autism demonstrated more food selectivity than typically developing children and that the children with autism preferred energy dense foods within food groups (e.g., chicken nuggets, hotdogs, peanut butter, cake, etc.). It is possible that these eating patterns may contribute to the development of obesity in this population of children.
A strength of this study is that it is based on nationally representative data and adds to the extant literature that is primarily comprised of smaller studies. However, several limitations of the current study are noteworthy. The key measures are provided by parental report as part of a telephone interview rather than direct measurement or observation. For example, height and weight were reported by parents and not independently measured. The validity of parental report of children's height and weight has recently been shown to be at variance with direct measures, particularly in young children. A recent examination of the parent-reported height and weight for children in the current NSCH data set as well as data from the 1999-2004 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) were compared to direct measures taken in the 1999-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a nationally representative survey[30] When compared to measured data obtained from NHANES, the parent-reported data in the NSCH and NHIS over-estimated overweight among younger children and under-estimated overweight among older children. This was attributed to discrepancies in reported height among very young children. The authors conclude that these findings support previous recommendations that parent-reported data should not be used to estimate overweight prevalence among preschool and elementary school-aged children. Thus, further study of children with autism that includes measured height and weight is warranted to confirm the findings we present. Other limitations include that autism was established by an affirmative answer to a single question about whether a doctor or health professional had ever told the parent the child had autism.
The present study suggests that obesity is a significant problem in children with ASDs. Children with ASDs demonstrate atypical cognitive, social, motor, and behavioral difficulties that may render them more vulnerable to the development of obesity. Research is needed to establish more firmly the prevalence of obesity in children with ASDs and to examine the factors associated with obesity in this population. Findings from such lines of inquiry would have important implications for devising appropriate prevention and intervention strategies that take these children's unique needs into account.

Artist's rendering of a NOAA GOES-R satellite. (NOAA image)
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is in the midst of developing two major satellite systems worth more than a combined $22 billion. The programs are vital to the future of the country's weather prediction efforts, but the Government Accountability Office has issues with both.
In one of two reports released Sept. 19, GAO criticized NOAA's next-generation polar-orbiting satellite program – called the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) – for not developing a means to track the usage of satellite products or address weaknesses in component schedules, and urged NOAA to develop a contingency plan.
NOAA agreed with GAO's recommendations regarding its JPSS program, yet there is still cause for concern.
GAO: Geostationary Weather Satellites
GAO: Polar Weather Satellites
JPSS-1 is not scheduled to launch until 2017, and NOAA currently relies heavily on a converted satellite called the Suomi NPP for the lion's share of the weather data its polar-orbiting satellites produce. That satellite, launched in 2011, is not expected to last long, creating the possibility that NOAA could face months or even years without its own satellites in place to make daily readings. That could severely affect weather forecasts, especially regarding hurricanes and other large storm systems.
To deal with the problem, NOAA commissioned a third-party study to examine mitigation options. It ultimately examined 44 potential solutions to an expected gap in weather data that could occur as early as 2014.The study concluded the only "silver bullet" solution was to use data from Chinese polar-orbiting satellites that will soon be operational.
The potential JPSS gap was expected to be a main topic of conversation as NOAA, NASA and GAO officials were scheduled to testify Sept. 19 before the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Subcommittee on Environment. The hearing was titled "Dysfunction in Management of Weather and Climate Satellites."
Also sure to arise, however, is a potential delay in another NOAA program -- this one for next-generation geostationary satellites.
GAO auditors said the $10.9 billion Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R (GOES-R) program is not reporting key data on reserve funds to senior officials, has delayed interim milestones and is experiencing technical issues.
Those issues may delay the launch of the first GOES-R satellite.
NOAA had scheduled the first launch for October 2015, but according to the GAO's latest report, NOAA officials acknowledge the launch may be delayed by six months.
A launch delay would increase the time that NOAA is without an on-orbit backup satellite," the report said. "It would also increase the potential for a gap in GOES satellite coverage should one of the two operational satellites (GOES-14 or -15) fail prematurely – a scenario given a 36-percent likelihood of occurring by an independent review team."
GAO recommended NOAA address weaknesses in managing reserves and scheduling for the GOES-R satellite program, and that it address shortfalls in contingency planning, to which NOAA agreed.
Geostationary satellites orbit 20,000 miles above the Earth's surface, a height that matches their velocity to the Earth's rotation, keeping them in a fixed position relative to the planet. That allows them to provide large-scale satellite imagery of entire storm systems on both coastlines. Polar-orbiting satellites orbit only about 500 miles above the Earth's surface and their measurements provide a more complete picture of individual storm systems. Together, the daily data these systems produce weigh heavily in forecasts by the National Weather Service.

Motion lines are a crucial part of drawing any type of action within your comic. They vary from the simple one line to the more complex, full background motion lines. To the right is an example of the single line of motion. One could add more lines but one gets the point across just fine.
There are four ways to depict motion, the
first being the line showing the path of motion as shown
below. The second method is to draw multiple images of the
person or thing in action in different intervals of movement
along with the standard motion lines (second image below).
The next image builts on the previous wherein the multiple
images now are less defined and become streaks. The last
method is the most widely used in manga's: the moving background.
The streaked background takes the reader and moves along with the depicted subject at motion. This creates a sense of being a part of the action with the subject.
Then there is the other motion line that is part of the object moving as depicted to the right. The motion line should move in the direction to where it is going. The elbow, for example, if moving to the right, the motion line should also move similarly. If the elbow was moving diagonally, the streaks would follow suit. A real life example would be to swing glow sticks around where an after image trails the actual location of the light itself.

Which fits me better from this comparison picture? This is the same shirt, top two pictures are XS, bottom two are S. I'm having a really hard time finding good fitting shirts as I try to transitional to a more professional wardrobe. I have a 36" chest and 29" waist but I feel as if everything fits unflattering. The S feels baggy at parts and it's hard to tell from the pictures. However the XS is a bit tight in the torso. Should I try a specific shirt model, can anyone recommend?
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
I tend to stay away from any shirts measured in S, M, L.
Look at Charles Tyrwhitt, TM Lewin, or Brooks Brothers on sale for starter shirts. All have slim fits that should work for you.

Lemon Balm
This lemon-scented member of the mint family has been a sleep-inducing superstar for ages. Other benefits include better digestion and decreased agitation. Try making lemon balm tea by steeping 1 to 2 teaspoons of the dried herb in 1 cup of hot water for 5 to 10 minutes. (If you take thyroid meds, talk to you doctor…drinking the tea could mean you'll have to adjust your dosage.)
Get more, better sleep: Put these 5 sleep-stealing behaviors to rest
Other Herbs
If lemon balm's not your thing, another herb, sage, also works as a natural sleep aid. Just steep 4 tablespoons in a cup of hot water, steep for four hours, strain, and reheat to drink. Chamomile tea and valerian teas, other sleep inducers, are also more widely available pre-bagged in natural food stores, if you don't want to fuss with the aforementioned straining herbs.

Creating your own earthquake emergency kit
Mobile readers: Tap here to view the infographic.
According to Ready Ventura County, you may need to survive on your own after an emergency. This means having your own food, water and other supplies in sufficient quantity to last for at least three days. Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they may not be able to reach everyone immediately. You could get help in hours or it might take days. In addition, basic services such as electricity, gas, water, sewage treatment, and telephones may be interrupted for days, weeks, or even longer. Individuals should also consider having at least two emergency supply kits, one full kit at home and smaller portable kits in their workplace, vehicle, or other places they spend time.
• Water, one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation
• Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food
• Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both
• Flashlight and extra batteries, or a hand crank flashlight
• First aid kit
• Whistle to signal for help
• Dust mask, to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place
• Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation
• Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities
• Can opener for food (if kit contains canned food)
• Local maps
• Cell phone with chargers, inverter or solar charger
• Prescription medications and glasses

• Important family documents such as copies of insurance policies, identification and bank account records in a waterproof, portable container
• Cash or traveler's checks and change
• Emergency reference material such as a first aid book or information from www.ready.gov
• Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each person.
• Complete change of clothing including a long sleeved shirt, long pants and sturdy shoes.
• Household chlorine bleach and medicine dropper – When diluted nine parts water to one part bleach, bleach can be used as a disinfectant. Or in an emergency, you can use it to treat water by using 16 drops of regular household liquid bleach per gallon of water. Do not use scented, color safe or bleaches with added cleaners.
• Fire Extinguisher
• Matches in a waterproof container

White Jazz (Paperback)
Los Angeles, 1958. Killings, beatings, bribes, shakedowns--it's standard procedure for Lieutenant Dave Klein, LAPD. He's a slumlord, a bagman, an enforcer--a power in his own small corner of hell. Then the Feds announce a full-out investigation into local police corruption, and everything goes haywire.
Klein's been hung out as bait, "a bad cop to draw the heat," and the heat's coming from all sides: from local politicians, from LAPD brass, from racketeers and drug kingpins--all of them hell-bent on keeping their own secrets hidden. For Klein, "forty-two and going on dead," it's dues time.
Klein tells his own story--his voice clipped, sharp, often as brutal as the events he's describing--taking us with him on a journey through a world shaped by monstrous ambition, avarice, and perversion. It's a world he created, but now he'll do anything to get out of it alive.
Fierce, riveting, and honed to a razor edge, White Jazz is crime fiction at its most shattering.
About the Author
James Ellroy was born in Los Angeles in 1948. His L.A. quartet -- The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A. Confidential and White Jazz -- were international bestsellers. American Tabloid was Time's Novel of the Year in 1995; his memoir My Dark Places was Time's Best Book and a New York Times Notable book for 1996. His novel The Cold Six Thousand was a New York Times Notable Book and Los Angeles Times Best Book for 2001. He lives on the coast of California.
Praise For…
"One of the great American writers of our time." --Los Angeles Times Book Review
"White Jazz makes previous detective fiction read like Dr. Seuss." --San Francisco Examiner
"Riffling, rolling, reeling. . . . Ellroy's best." --The Denver Post
"Riveting. . . . Impossible to put down. . . . An author who breaks all the rules. He's a kamikaze pilot on a collision course with hell. The pen moves madly across the page. . . . A book that is one long scream of rage and emptiness and longing." --The News and Observer

There are no guarantees at CBS — even with the names 'NCIS' and 'Beverly Hills Cop'
No two pilots seemed like more obvious pick-ups than CBS' "NCIS: Red" and "Beverly Hills Cop." The former was yet another "NCIS" spin-off, with a high-profile cast including John Corbett and Kim Raver, and that had already been introduced in an "NCIS: LA" two-parter back in March. The latter was a sequel to the beloved movie franchise, produced by Shawn Ryan, starring Brandon T. Jackson as the son of Axel Foley, and featuring Eddie Murphy himself in a role that was likely to be recurring if it went to series. Brand names, recognizable stars and crime-fighting — this was the CBS formula to a T. Instead, neither was picked up. CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler said they wanted to be protective of the "NCIS" franchise, and that both shows were passed over because they were happier with other development, including the very serialized, un-CBS "Hostages."

"I am fascinated by the ambiance of the city at night and its seductive qualities. The breathtaking turbulence of speeding vehicles and hasty pedestrians evoke feelings of wonder and disorientation. The vibrant lights become a magical landscape with enticing opportunities and promises of fulfillment. " Pacula paints with oil to recreate the feeling of dizziness and confusion. "I suggest motion in order to slow down the scene and capture the fleeting moments, which tend to be forgotten," she says.

Combo box item not shown selected
I have added combo box on my LWUIT form
In all the combo box, selected item does not highlight. All items look same.
What is the property to do this??
You need to use the "Selected" style for ComboBoxItem and ComboBoxFocus.
ComboBoxItem - The actual item content which we usually recommend keeping transparent.
ComboBoxFocus - the selection background that is animated (slides) when scrolling within the combo box or list.

Stayed for 2 days, needed to get away to a quite place, the room was super clean and beautiful, the inn keepers were fantastic, breakfast over the top. What a pleasure, it was first time staying at bed and breakfast and what a fantastic experience.
on August 24, 2015
This was our first bed and breakfast experience, and I took my fiance here to celebrate his 30th birthday. The property was beautiful and well taken care of, and John and Cindy went out of there to help with some birthday surprises along the way, which only added to the experience. The food served was very good, and the wine and cheese hour was an added bonus! We chose to add the breakfast in our room so we could have some more time to ourselves, and it came in a cute little picnic basket with all the place settings ready to go. It was perfect, and delicious too.
Lodi, WI is a small town - but there was plenty to do. We went to the Wollersheim winery before arriving, and then checked-in and had some more wine and cheese with the guest at Victorian Dreams. We then split ways and walked into town (only a 5-minute walk) and had dinner in-town. We then had some after dinner drinks at the wine bar on the block before heading in for the night. The next day, we drove to Lake Wisconsin, took the ferri to Merrimac, and spent the day at Devil's Lake. Plenty to do, and great accommodations! Thanks John and Cindy!
on August 12, 2015
We had a wonderful experience of feeling pampered in luxury yet relaxed and cozy during our stay. Cindy and John attend to every detail from preparing a scrumptious breakfast to ensuring our room was perfectly appointed with every possible amenity. We look forward to visiting again when in the Madison area. This place is an absolute gem!

Many B&Bs advertise what they want to be, but this B&B exceeded our expectations. The owners went above and beyond to make us feel like we belong and were home. The guests were wonderful and the suite fantastic. We were extremely happy with the quiet rooms and romantic spender of the property. Make this the unexpected surprised that is sure to please!

What a wonderful getaway with fantastic owners! Beautiful room, very personalized service and great breakfast. Will definitely return and tell my friends.
on March 19, 2015
Unbelievable! Thank you so much! We have stayed in many B&Bs over the years and this is exceptional. John and Cindy go out of their way to provide extraordinary breakfasts, hospitality, and help with dinner reservations and directions!
We can't believe how spotless the Inn was and how precisely each room was prepared!
Thank you for the "special"room service breakfast on Sunday morning and also thank your neighbor for returning my jewelry that I dropped as we were entering the Inn on Saturday night! Wonderful "small town" hospitality and honesty! Can't express how much we appreciated our time in Lodi and at your home. Hope to see you in the fall to visit Lodi again and hike Devils Lake.

This was our second stay at Victorian Dreams, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Abigail's Oasis was truly that -- a well-appointed, spacious retreat. The fireplace was wonderful with the cool, rainy days we experienced that week. John and Cindy are so fun to visit with, and they run the b&b with excellence. We appreciated several good restaurants within walking distance in Lodi -- a great small town in a beautiful area.
on November 03, 2014
My partner and I needed a place to stay on our way to Chicago, and we thought it'd be fun to stay at a B&B in the Madison area. Victorian Dreams was everything we'd hoped for and more--the room was beautiful, and John and Cindy were incredibly accommodating and friendly. I highly recommend this B&B and sincerely hope we have a chance to stay there again!
on October 26, 2014
Everything was wonderful. There is a lot to do in the area! Cindy and John were wonderful hosts! We look forward to visiting again.
on October 06, 2014
I recently stayed at Victorian Dreams during a business trip. John and Cindy were wonderful hosts. I felt comfortable in there home traveling alone as a female. The area around their home is very beautiful and quiet. I recommend the Inn highly and hope to visit again with my husband in the future.

Archbishop Listecki undergoes cardiac procedure Friday
Milwaukee Catholic Archbishop Jerome Listecki was recuperating at a local hospital on Friday after a cardiac stent was inserted to widen one of his arteries, an archdiocese spokeswoman said today.
Listecki had the procedure after being taken to the hospital for chest pains on Thursday evening.
"He's doing fine and is thankful for everyone's prayers," said spokeswoman Julie Wolf. It was not immediately clear when he would be released.
Listecki had intended to attend Friday's funeral service for six Sikhs murdered on Sunday, but was represented instead by Auxiliary Bishop Donald Hying and Vicar for Clergy Patrick Heppe.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] Nursing homes serving primarily Hispanic residents provided poorer quality care compared to facilities whose patients were mostly white, according to Brown University research. Details were published recently in the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association.
Researchers reached their conclusions after looking at the rate of bed sores at nursing homes with high concentrations of Hispanic patients, compared to others with low concentrations. Hispanics at nursing homes with a high rate of Hispanic residents were more likely to have bed sores, compared to Hispanics living in nursing homes with fewer Hispanic residents.
Michael Gerardo, adjunct assistant professor of community health at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, led the research. Two others served as co-authors Joan Teno, M.D., professor of community health and medicine and an expert on end-of-life care, and Vincent Mor, chair of the Department of Community Health, whose work focuses on nursing home care among other areas.
Gerardo and the other professors said that more research is needed to determine the implications of their findings, directed specifically at the root cause for disparities between high-quality and low-quality nursing homes.
"A systemic evaluation of the difference in the process of care between high- and low-quality nursing homes is warranted in order to reduce nursing home disparities," Gerardo said.
Their work comes less than two years after a landmark 2007 study, published in Health Affairs, that suggests blacks are more likely than whites to live in poor-quality nursing homes. That study found that the problem was worst in the Midwest, and that inequalities in care are closely correlated to racial segregation. Mor was lead author for that study.
For the study of Hispanics in nursing homes, the researchers looked at two data sources. One, the national reposi

AssistiveWare to showcase new products at Apple Expo
updated 09:15 am EDT, Tue August 24, 2004
AssistiveWare @ Apple Expo
has announced that it will showcase upcoming assisitive technology product releases in the Apple Education booth of the Apple Expo later this month. The company will demo new versions of KeyStrokes 3.2 on-screen keyboard, SwitchXS 1.6 switch access solution and a completely new, multilingual speech product called Proloquo 1.0--all of which are expected to ship in October. KeyStrokes 3.2 will include a new version of the PolyPredix word prediction engine that reduces typing efforts by up to 45% from previous versions. The free update will also add German, Italian and Norwegian localizations (in addition to the existing English and French localizations).
SwitchXS is the company's single or multiple switch-based computer access solution, providing full emulation of mouse and keyboard for use with any standard Mac OS X application. Version 1.6 will include a scan panel editor to create custom scan panels. In addition to the existing English and French localizations, version 1.6 will add Japanese language support. This will be a free update for existing users.
AssistiveWare plans to debut Proloquo 1.0, a multilingual speech solution that works with Apple's build-in voices, but also with the high quality Acapela Multimedia voices, which currently include UK & US English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, Russian and other voices. Proloquo, a multipurpose speech application, offers a range of text to speech features that can be tailored to the user's individual needs.
Proloquo can be used for simple text-to-voice conversion, to echo text typed into any application, as an advanced speech engine for SwitchXS and KeyStrokes (with control over speech rate, pitch and exceptions), and as a full-fledged communication solution for people who cannot speak. Users can type text into Proloquo and let it speak (parts of) that text, or simply define sets of custom words and phrases that are spoken with a simple mouse click.

Product Description
These antler chews are taken from naturally shed elk antlers, and are therefore organic, natural, green, and renewable! The elk are not harmed in any way to attain these treats! Elk antler is a very unique and awesome, allergy-friendly ingredient. Scout & Zoe's was actually formed to satisfy the needs of two family-love dogs that had very little options when it came to treats--they were allergic to all bovine products (jerkies, chews, rawhide, etc.).
The antler cookies are pieces of antler cut on the bias in cookie-shaped treats. The marrow in the natural elk antlers offers a great amount of nutrients! Antler cookies are a great for pups with allergies, and also don't splinter like regular bone--a great safety feature.
- ~3" x 2" antler, oval pieces
- ½" thick
- Allergen Free
- From 100% naturally Shed Elk Antlers
- Made and Sourced In USA
- Exposed marrow for instant gratification
- Great starter antler chew

Good product
Posted by Unknown on 23rd Feb 2014
I agree with the other review. I was let down when my package only had 2 cookies. The price seems a bit high for 2 pieces. My vizsla was also able to chew through a cookie in an hour or two.
Great product, bad picture
Posted by Unknown on 26th Dec 2013
I bought these for our 3 kids. They love them! I love that they are US sourced and trimmed in a perfect size. My ONLY complaint is that the picture shows THREE antler pieces, and the pack I received only had 2. Was a bit sad on Christmas day only having them for 2 of the 3 dogs!
