The Relationship Between Children's Health and Intellectual Development
The focus of this paper is on functional health status of children in the population. More specifically, we examine a single aspect of functional health status -- intellectual development of children. In a multivariate context, we examine the relationships between the health indexes and cognitive development of children from six to 11 years of age in Cycle II of the U.S. Health Examination Survey (HES). We present the first set of such estimates for a representative sample of non-institutionalized white children in the United States. We compare them with existing findings for underdeveloped countries, Great Britain, and low income families in the United States.

Dear REACH Supporters,
20 Disadvantaged young women have commenced their training as part of a group of 78 young people who commenced vocational training at REACH Hanoi Centre on 5 December 2012. Because of your generosity, these young women are students in the following courses:
The students come from many different backgrounds including street youth, school dropouts, unemployed secondary school graduates, disadvantaged youth from ethnic minorities and youth with disabilities.
Week one of their training was about introductions and some basic life skills such as time management, personal organisation and team work. Learning through games and enjoyable activities was a big part of this week. Technical training commenced in Week two, as did basic conversational English. We will continue to provide you with periodic updates on their progress at REACH over the next 12 weeks.
We hope you enjoy these photos of the students in their first two weeks. If you would like to see more photos of our students please visit the REACH Facebook page or subscribe to our e-newsletter.
Thank you for your ongoing support as we help disadvantaged young people in Vietnam get jobs.

We are a strategy, problem solving and design thinking firm with a focus on delivering innovation, change and business growth.
Nothing beats understanding your customer's needs really, really well. To do that we go out and dig deep for needs, behaviors and desires that become the actionable insights that fuel decision making and strategy.
Through carefully crafted facilitations and business simulations, we get your team to do its best thinking, challenge assumptions and develop the solutions you need so you can get your innovation mojo going and move forward.
Learn more about Business Planning DONE RIGHT
Our Manifesto of Change and Business as Unusual Values
The Best Insights Are Never In The Office
Ideas are only as good as the insights they are built upon. Too often businesses look to spreadsheets and analytical, verifiable data only as their source of understanding. But most problems have a human element which means we need to understand them directly and in human ways by going out and asking, observing and trying. This is what we call the Human Centric Advantage.
The Best Ideas Are Co-Created
We need the talents of everyone, not just experts, in order to produce great results. This means bringing together multifunctional teams of diverse thinkers. Sometimes it also means including clients, consumers and partners in your thinking. But it also means that you and your people are the geniuses you have been waiting for.
Great Ideas Are Built, Not Born
There are no lightbulb idea or magic moments. Great ideas are hard work. Great ideas are the product of being willing to create many ideas, narrowing to some really good ones and then breaking and rebuilding them. You have to be willing to go big and be willing to kill your own ideas if you want great solutions.
A Bias Towards Action Trumps Solid Theory
Instead of taking a guess on what works, we believe in prototyping it to see what really happens. The best ideas rise to the top when we are willing to try it in some small way first.
It's Not a Solution Until it WOWs!
Too often people fall in love with an idea because it sounds novel and interesting. They pamper their idea with time and investment only to find out that it does work for the business. We know that solutions need to wow both the consumers they are created for as well as the business stakeholder that must execute them. If it doesn't add value then it isn't innovation.
People Are Smarter When They Are Having Fun
Working should be fun. In fact, it has to be. People are more creative and productive when they let down their guard, put themselves totally into what they are doing and start collaborating with others. We keep people engaged and moving and in the moment so we make sure we have their full attention and engagement.

Friday, Oct. 19, 2007 | A regional energy study released Thursday calls for a massive increase in San Diego's reliance on solar power as a way to supplant the need for the Sunrise Powerlink, a $1.3 billion power line proposed by San Diego Gas & Electric.
The $30,000 report, which was funded by the San Diego Foundation and authored by local engineer and Sunrise critic Bill Powers, recommends developing a $1.5 billion San Diego Solar Initiative — akin to a statewide initiative currently underway.
While acknowledging that the renewable-energy plan was "ambitious," Powers said it would help the region increase its energy independence, reduce climate-change inducing impacts from fossil-fuel generated electricity and eliminate the need for the Powerlink.
The 150-mile power line, which is currently under consideration by the California Public Utilities Commission, is described by SDG&E as a necessary way to connect San Diego to potential renewable energy projects in Imperial County. A decision on it is expected next summer.

The Tissue Analysis Core of this U19 proposal will provide established histologic and molecular analyses of tissues obtained in each of the projects. Tissues will be processed at the time of collection with samples partitioned and stored according to standard protocols that will be developed and supplied by this Core. Drs. Schacker and Estes will develop specialized staining techniques (i.e., double or triple labels using either chromagenic or fluorescent antibodies) as needed over the duration of the grant period. They have appropriate expertise and laboratory support to accomplish these goals. The Core will provide quantitative analysis of specified features of tissues obtained by each of the projects. This will include quantitative analysis of the size of specific cell populations (identified by chromagenic or fluorescent antibody staining) in a specified anatomic location (e.g., the frequency of macrophages in the parafollicular T cell zone). Quantitative data from these analyses will be combined with other analyses to identify location and frequency of specific cell phenotypes not readily identified by immuno-histochemistry (e.g., combining the size of the total CD4+ T cell population in lymph node with flow cytometry data that measures the relative size of the naive subset of CD4+ T cells can provide an estimate of the absolute size of the naive CD4+ T cell in that tissue). The Core will provide specialized techniques for identifying the location and phenotype of cells that are either vDNA+ or vRNA+, including in situ hybridization (vRNA+ cells) and in situ PCR (vDNA+ cells). Combining either of these two in situ techniques with immunohistochemistry allows identification of the exact phenotype of cells that are infected. Whole organ analysis to identify locations of vRNA+ cells will be done in brain, lung, kidney, liver, adrenals, organs of the GU tract, and the entire gut (mouth to anus) to assist in identification of reservoirs of persistent replication. Molecular analyses of all tissues will be performed to measure the frequency of vDNA+ cells and the frequency of 2-LTR circles and integrated DNA. Collectively these data will be used to estimate 1) sites of persistent replication while on suppressive ARV and 2) size and location of reservoirs of cells harboring latent infection.
This Core will locate and describe sites of persistent and latent infection and assist the investigators with tissue analysis. This will lead to a more complete understanding of how eradication of HIV might be accomplished.

Getting started with UniCom/Lync/Skype for Business
On this page:
- Eligibility and account types
- Emergency 911 notification
- Software
- Equipment
- Learning the basics
- Troubleshooting, help, and feedback
Eligibility and account types
All Indiana University students, faculty, and staff are eligible to use some features of the UniCom service, which provides unified communications via the Microsoft Lync/Skype for Business clients. Students, as well as faculty and staff members with no IU phone number, may use UniCom Basic, which operates independently of a phone number. Faculty and staff members with a traditional phone line may use UniCom Basic alongside their phone service. Telephone service for all faculty and staff will eventually be converted to UniCom Enterprise Voice, which replaces traditional phones, but individual faculty and staff members may choose to sign up for Enterprise Voice in advance of department conversion.
For more about the features of the two different modes, see IU UniCom feature comparison.
When you sign the Emergency 911 statement (see below), you automatically get a UniCom Basic account. To change your service, contact your department's telecommunications coordinator or IT Pro.
If you do not know who your telecommunications coordinator is, at IU Bloomington, call 812-856-2287; at IUPUI, call 317-274-3004. You can also email Communications Planning and Implementation.
Emergency 911 notification
To be activated for the UniCom service, first read and agree to the IU Emergency 911 Acknowledgment Statement. As described more fully in that statement, computer-based phone services have inherent limitations with connecting to location-specific services, such as the emergency response services accessed by dialing 911. This is chiefly a problem when using UniCom Enterprise Voice to make calls from a location other than your desk. If you make a call from your desk using UniCom Enterprise Voice, your location should still be transmitted to emergency responders correctly. VoIP phones will transmit the location correctly if used in the location where they were installed. Also, newer cell phones use either GPS or triangulation to determine location. (UniCom Basic users can only call other UniCom users by name, and thus cannot use UniCom to dial 911.)
If you have accepted the Emergency 911 Acknowledgment Statement, you can download the client for Windows or Mac OS X from IUware, or install a client on your mobile device.
- Skype for Business/Lync: Lync (recently rebranded as Skype for Business) is the client most people will use with UniCom in Windows. For more, see About Microsoft Lync and About Skype for Business. You can download Lync from IUware.
- Skype for Business for Mac: For more about the Skype for Business client, see About Skype for Business, or download it from IUware.
- Lync for Mac: For more about the Lync client, see About Microsoft Lync, or download it from IUware.
Mobile clients
To use the voice communication capabilities of UniCom, you'll need a headset, or a phone optimized for Lync; "Lync-qualified" devices may not be fully supported. If you want others to see you in videoconferencing, you'll also need a webcam. For more, see About office telephone equipment at IU.
Learning the basics
To learn how to perform common tasks in the Skype for Business/Lync client, see the UniCom page. Also, see Microsoft's Skype for Business help pages or the Lync for Mac user guide.
Additional resources are available from IT Training's UniCom Self Study Training Resources.
Troubleshooting, help, and feedback
To get help with UniCom, or comment about the service, contact the Support Center. If you're having trouble, you can also try signing out of and completely closing your client software (including Outlook, if you use UniCom Enterprise Voice), and restarting to see if that resolves the problem.

CUNY's Community Colleges Give Stalled Students a Push
Nathaniel Wheeler, a 27-year-old Bushwick resident, recalls the day two years ago when he first envisioned the life that he wanted for himself. After a stint in the Air Force, where he worked in procurement, Wheeler was marking time, flitting between apartments and jobs, when a temporary gig at a Long Island bank offered a glimpse of his potentialfuture. "The vice president's office was 10 feet from me," he says. "I was like, 'Man, that's the way of life I want to live.'"
But it was also a life that required a college degree, and Wheeler needed to keep working to support himself and his
six-year-old daughter, who's currently living with her mother in Arizona. So since September, after putting in a full week's work at the Macy's accounting office in Manhattan, he's spent his Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays running a gauntlet of courses at the Borough of Manhattan Community College. He's set to graduate next January with an associate's degree in business, two years after his first trek to the campus.
WHAT: A city-subsidized anti-poverty program to help qualifying students earn an associate's degree and a job as quickly as possible.
WHERE: BMCC, Bronx, Hostos, Kingsborough, LaGuardia, and Queensborough community colleges.
QUALIFICATIONS: Be a New York resident with fewer than 12 college credits; meet CUNY standards in reading, writing, and math (480 minimum on SAT math and critical reading; 75 or higher on math and English Regents exams); graduate in three years or less; meet a weekly work requirement.
benefits: Block scheduling; customized advising and tutoring; career services; free tuition, books, and travel.

Wheeler sounds like a typical community-college success story, but those stories are rarer than most New Yorkers might expect. A Columbia University study in 2005 estimated that less than a quarter of all community-college students nationwide earn degrees within three years of enrolling. Most never finish at all. They are typically an older bunch than their four-year-college peers, weighed down with real-life concerns that the average college freshman can't fathom. "Going to school and having dependents is an entirely different experience, with different challenges, than going off to Princeton or the University of Michigan at 18," says Dr. James Jacobs, a community-college expert at Columbia's Teachers College.

"The barriers go way beyond academic preparedness," agrees CUNY administrator Frances Gottfried. "Family, work, whatever you have—especially family—comes in between." Under that kind of pressure, even the smartest community-college students can get bogged down, forced to string out their studies for years or to drop out altogether.
To aid disadvantaged students like Wheeler, Gottfried helped spearhead a new program at CUNY's six community colleges called Accelerated Study in Associated Programs, or CUNY ASAP for short. The first ASAP class of 1,132 students spread across the six schools is about to complete its inaugural year, and while questions remain about the program and its ultimate effectiveness, it's gaining attention for its novel approach.
ASAP's chief strategy, according to interviews with administrators and staff, is to put the "community" back in community college, focusing on intense, sustained guidance from day one to provide the kind of focused attention one might expect at a traditional small four-year college. Students are grouped into cohorts and assigned to class schedules compressed into discrete blocks, both to accommodate diverse schedules and to foster a sense of camaraderie among classmates. Advisors watch the students like hawks, helping them find jobs and navigate their course schedules. Tutors hover in nearly every classroom. One tutor is "always there, in the back of my accounting class, but I haven't needed her yet," says Wheeler. "There are elements of this program that exist at CUNY and other community colleges around the country," Gottfried says, "but we believe we have the only program that brings them together."
Most significantly, ASAP offers a whopper of a financial-aid package: All expenses are paid, from books and tuition down to child care and monthly MetroCards. The MetroCard subsidy in particular has "turned out to be major" for ASAP students, says Gottfried. Christopher Allen, an ASAP academic advisor at BMCC, says that when the MTA made its latest grab for more revenue, his students were able to remain oblivious. "They were all like, 'What rate hike?' " he says.
Bankrolled through the mayor's new Center for Economic Opportunity, which oversees the city's 41 new anti-poverty initiatives, ASAP is open to students of all ages, but it imposes steep admission requirements: They must commit to taking 12 credits per semester while continuing to work; before beginning coursework they need to meet CUNY standards for reading, writing, and math proficiency, which can be satisfied with qualifying SAT or Regents test scores; and they're expected to graduate within three years of enrolling. "No one's taking remedial work in this program," says Gottfried.
It's this exclusivity that has led some to question the significance of ASAP's impact. While praising the program's creation as a step forward, Jacobs cautions that many community-college candidates need academic remediation, making them ineligible for ASAP. "It sounds like these are pretty well-prepared people compared to many who are already in the CUNY system," he says, noting that "even the most willing low-income students often are totally unprepared to do college-level work." CUNY administrators, for their part, bristle at the idea that they're cherry-picking ASAP candidates. "This is not an honors program," says Gottfried. Wheeler agrees: "It's really just a test of your work ethic. I don't think it bars anybody."
School by itself, of course, can't keep a student out of poverty without a paying job. What CUNY ASAP does, though, is enable students to stay afloat at work while churning through their degree requirements. All ASAP enrollees are assigned "job developers" who can help them find jobs that are more relevant to the student's course of study or that conform more easily to their preferred schedules, says Gottfried. "A first-semester student might have a 15- to 20-hour-a-week job at, say, Barnes & Noble. As they move on in the program, the job developers can help place them in a part-time job that's more relevant to their major." That's how Wheeler snagged his finance job at Macy's.
Academic advisers also help the students learn how to maximize their time and finances at the school. "Students who come to BMCC for five years or six years, they use up their grant money, they use up their TAP money to the point where they want to go to a four-year college and the money is all gone," says Allen. Whereas many community-college students may find it easy to lose focus or go adrift in their studies, he says, "In ASAP, we lay out the tracks for them. You're not here for five years, taking courses you don't need."
ASAP's demands aren't for the weak-hearted. Even a promising student can crumble under the pressure of work, a 12-credit schedule, and the program's requirement that all ASAP students maintain a 2.5 grade-point average. "After my first semester, I was so tired I thought about not going back," says Wheeler. "It's kind of like sink or swim." School would be easier if he could trim back his work schedule, but that's not an option: Even with a full-time job, he estimates that about three-quarters of his income goes to food and rent, leaving him little left over for what he and his daughter need. "I mean need, not to buy an iPod Touch or a PSP or an Xbox or a plasma screen," he laughs. "There's no way to scale it back."
Nor do the professors pull any punches for ASAP students. "The role is a bit of a wake-up call," says Gottfried. "If you're interested in a four-year college or graduate school, you need to put in the hours." Asked about the academic demands, Wheeler cites his accounting professor as a major motivator. "I checked him out on Rate My Professor once—he had all negative reviews from his ex-students," he says. " 'Too tough,' they all complained. That's how you know he's good."
ASAP administrators take pains to anticipate and manage the students' pressures, says Wheeler. "I missed one class last semester, and my professor was so concerned he contacted my adviser, and my adviser contacted me and was like, 'Is everything all right?'" he says. "The adviser basically takes care of everything for you. He registers you for classes, so you don't actually have to take time out of work or anything like that." Allen insists on as close a relationship as possible with his 125 advisees. "You don't even need to show me the grades. I can go down the list of names and I could tell you how they're doing," he says. "The ones that are doing C work but could be doing A work, they've got people riding them."
That kind of guidance doesn't come cheap: According to Gottfried, $6.5 million has been doled out to the program so far, with another $13 million set aside for the next two years. That translates to more than $5,000 for each of ASAP's 1,132 students citywide—more than what many community colleges can spend on their pupils, but considerably less than what most four-year colleges and even some grade schools spend, says Jacobs. (The city's Department of Education reported that it will spend a similar amount this year on educational-related expenses per student in its K-12 schools—an average of $4,816.) It's only a pilot program, financed for two more years, but Mayor Bloomberg has said he might expand it if it proves successful. "We're obviously interested in replication," says Gottfried.
As things stand, the program mostly flies under other students' radar, except for a few instances where ASAP students stand out. "You get a couple of stares in the bookstore, because we get our own separate line and there's never any exchange of money," says Wheeler. But it would be hard for CUNY to implement a broader, more egalitarian program even if it wanted to, says Jacobs, given how few community-college students can meet ASAP's stringent entry standards. "How do you develop programs to fit the needs of very heterogeneous students?" he wonders.
Not even Wheeler is completely sold on the program's pace and goals, which he says occasionally make it feel more like training than education. "Sometimes it does feel like I'm rushing through ASAP," he says. "Sometimes I wish we could get more in-depth in a class or subject," rather than keeping focused solely on graduation requirements. But he has no qualms about his ultimate commitment to ASAP's hectic schedule and the crimp it puts in his social life.
"I just think to myself," he says, "What would I do on Friday night, really?"
