The Sri Lankan emergency laws have been in a state of flux in recent years. Sri Lankan lawmakers voted in May 2010 to extend the state of emergency [JURIST report] for another month, but reduced some of the toughest provisions. Parliament lifted certain restrictions [BBC report] on assembly and distributing literature and reduced the power of soldiers to conduct searches. In March of the same year, Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa [official website] announced [JURIST report] that the then-dissolved Sri Lankan Parliament would reconvene to ratify a one-month extension to the current state of emergency. Variations of the security measures have been reintroduced since 2005 when foreign minister Lakshman Kadirgamar was allegedly assassinated by LTTE rebels.
Besigye's prosecution garnered international attention. Earlier this year, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay [official profile] urged [JURIST report] Uganda's government to stop using what she called excessive force against Besigye and other protesters. Pillay also criticized [Reuters report] the government's treatment of Bezigye during one of his arrests, where a video showed government forces breaking into his SUV [BBC report], shooting pepper spray directly into his face and forcing him into the back of a pickup truck. Besigye is the leader of Uganda's most prominent opposition party, the Forum for Democratic Change [part website]. He lost to incumbent President Yoweri Museveni [BBC profile] in elections held this past February. The elections were criticized by the opposition as fraudulent [Guardian report]. Besigye also ran for president [BBC report] in 2002 and 2006, and, prior to that, he was Museveni's personal doctor. In October 2010, Uganda's Constitutional Court unanimously dismissed treason charges [JURIST report] against Besigye and 10 co-defendants, ruling that there was insufficient evidence and that the state had violated the defendants' rights. Besigye had been charged [JURIST report] with plotting to forcefully overthrow the Ugandan government between 2001 and 2004 but had always maintained his innocence, calling the charges against him politically motivated.
Banda is not the only Zambian leader to face legal troubles. Chiluba was acquitted [JURIST report] in August 2009 of charges of stealing money from the country's treasury while in office from 1991-2001. In a separate case, Chiluba was ordered by a London court in July 2007 to pay $58 million in fines [JURIST report] to Zambia to compensate for other funds stolen during Chiluba's decade in power. The suit was brought in Britain [BBC report] by Zambian officials because Chiluba and his associates held the assets in the UK and other European countries.
This latest investigation is the most recent installment in Apple's patent dispute with HTC. Last month, the USITC ruled against HTC [JURIST report] for patent infringement on patents 5,946,647 and 6,343,263 [texts], both of which relate to cell phones that run the Android operating system. That was the second suit against HTC by Apple. Last year, Apple filed suits [JURIST report] in the US District Court for the District of Delaware and with the USITC alleging patent infringements. HTC later also filed a suit [JURIST report] against Apple for infringement related to portable electronic devices. In addition, the USITC announcement comes days after South Korean regulators fined [JURIST report] Apple USD $2,855 for collecting location information from its iPhone and iPad users. It is the first time Apple has been punished for collecting location information [Reuters report] from users of its widely popular mobile computing products.
Campaign finance regulation has been in a state of flux since Citizens United was decided [JURIST report] in January of last year, easing restrictions on political campaign spending by corporations. In June, the US Supreme Court ruled [opinion, PDF; JURIST report] in Arizona Free Enterprise Club's Freedom Club PAC v. Bennett [Cornell LII backgrounder] that an Arizona campaign finance regulation that provided publicly financed candidates with additional government subsidies, which are triggered by independent expenditure groups' speech against such candidates or by the candidates' privately financed opponents, violates the First Amendment [text]. The US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit [official website] upheld [opinion, PDF; JURIST report] a Minnesota campaign financing law prohibiting direct contributions to candidates and affiliated entities in May. In April, a judge for the US District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin [official website] dismissed two challenges [JURIST report] to campaign financing schemes for Wisconsin Supreme Court elections. In June 2010, the US Senate [official website] failed to pass campaign finance reform legislation [S 3628 materials] that would prohibit corporations receiving federal contracts worth more than $7 million from spending money on "electioneering communications" and would also prohibit foreign-controlled domestic corporations from financing campaigns [JURIST report].
The UK is absolutely committed to eradicating the trade of conflict diamonds. We played a leading role in creating the [KP], which has helped reduce the proportion of conflict diamonds to a tiny fraction of world trade. We pressed for Zimbabwe to adhere to the principles of the KP. Two Marange mines currently meet these standards; it is only from these locations that we support exports, subject to ongoing monitoring. From all other Marange mines, the UK and the EU continue to strongly oppose the resumption of exports until independent, international experts deem them to comply with the KP.
The diamond trade in Zimbabwe has been the subject of much criticism. Last year, the US-based Rapaport Diamond Trading Network [corporate website] took a stance against the sale of Zimbabwe diamonds [press release; JURIST report] associated with human rights violations. In a letter to their members, Rapaport stated they would expel members who knowingly traded the tainted diamonds and that they would publish the names of members who traded the stones. Rapaport noted that KP certification may have allowed the stones to be sold in certain jurisdictions, but warned that it was illegal for citizens from the US, EU and UK to knowingly trade diamonds from the Marange diamond fields. They also cautioned that KP certification did not guarantee that the diamonds were not associated with human rights violations and that KP did not have a mandate to deny certification for diamonds involved in human rights violations. In June 2010, Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website] called for the removal of Zimbabwe [report materials; JURIST report] from KP, echoing similar sentiments from rights groups who urged KP to suspend Zimbabwe's international diamond trade [JURIST report] in November 2009 due to the human rights violations [Telegraph report] allegedly committed by the Zimbabwean army against civilians and illegal workers in the Marange diamond fields.
Federal Medicaid statutes and regulations give States broad discretion to craft the rules applicable to their Medicaid programs. Congress left intact the States' authority to determine what makes an entity qualified to provide Medicaid services, while ensuring that Medicaid recipients may utilize any practitioner deemed to be qualified under State law. Since HEA 1210 does not limit a beneficiary's ability to choose among providers that are deemed to be qualified, it is consistent with federal Medicaid law.
In May, a federal judge refused to block the law [JURIST report] upon passage. But the June ruling from the US District Court for the Southern District of Indiana [official website] granting the injunction is in line with a recent US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] brief that urged the court to grant an injunction [brief, PDF] to stop the enforcement of the Indiana law [JURIST report]. The brief echoed arguments made earlier this month by the Obama administration, which argued against the law [JURIST report] in a letter to the stateone of several to have acted recently to tighten restrictions on abortions. In May, Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) [advocacy website] filed a lawsuit [JURIST report] challenging a South Dakota law requiring women to seek counseling at a pregnancy center and wait three days before obtaining an abortion. Earlier that week, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton vetoed a pair of bills [JURIST report] that would have restricted state funding for abortions and banned them altogether after 20 weeks. Also in May, Texas Governor Rick Perry signed a bill that requires women seeking an abortion to first get a sonogram [JURIST report]. Multiple states have acted to ban abortions after 20 weeks, when some studies suggest a fetus can begin feeling pain, including Missouri, Indiana, Alabama, Ohio, Oklahoma, Iowa, Kansas and Idaho [JURIST reports].
[T]his case is not about constitutional rights, against torture or otherwisethe defendants readily acknowledge that the type of abuse alleged by the plaintiffs would raise serious constitutional issues. Rather, this case centers on the appropriate remedies for that abuse and who must decide what those remedies will be. ... [B]oth circuits confronted with allegations of constitutional violations in war zones have refused to recognize a Bivens remedy. ... The court vaults over this consensus and, for the first time ever, recognizes a Bivens cause of action for suits alleging constitutional violations by military personnel in an active war zone.
The appeals court ruling comes days after a judge for the US District Court for the District of Columbia [official website] ruled that Rumsfeld can be sued [JURIST report] by a former US military contractor who claims he was tortured while imprisoned in Iraq. The last several years have seen a rise in the number of suits brought against Bush administration officials. Earlier this year, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit [official website] upheld the dismissal [JURIST report] of a torture suit against Rumsfeld brought by four Afghan and five Iraqi citizens alleging they were illegally detained and tortured. Also this year, the US Supreme Court [official website] ruled [opinion, PDF] in Ashcroft v. al-Kidd [Cornell LII backgrounder] that former US attorney general John Ashcroft [JURIST news archive] is immune from suit [JURIST report] by a witness detained in a terror investigation.
Otto Perez Molina, Torres' main opposition and leader of the Patriot Party, accused the two of fraud [BBC report] for divorcing in an effort to circumvent the constitutional ban. Torres and Colom are not the only Guatemalan leaders to face legal trouble. A Guatemalan judge ruled [JURISt report] last August that former president Alfonso Portillo [CIDOB profile, in Spanish] and two of his former ministers would stand trial on charges of embezzlement. Portillo, president of Guatemala from 2000-2004, is accused of diverting approximately USD $15 million in funds from the Ministry of Defense.

How Illustrators Invented America: A special presentation by Alice Carter
Photo by Grace Chen
In January, A/I professor and co-founder Alice "Bunny" Carter presented a special talk on the history of American illustration to the Animation/Illustration program. Generously sharing her insight and knowledge, Carter discussed how illustrators have shaped perceptions of America, both at home and abroad, throughout the nation's history. From the myth of the noble savage to the myth of the common man, from Uncle Sam to the Arrow Collar man and the Gibson Girl, illustrators created stories and images in their artwork that captured people's imaginations and influenced their beliefs—ideas and images which still persist today.
Students and alums alike attended the event, filling Morris Dailey Auditorium on a Friday night. "It's the 4th time I have attended this lecture and I always learn something new," A/I student Samia Khalaf said. "I think it's priceless information that needs to be turned into a book for future generations."

Who says you have to graduate before pursuing your interests? Sharing a passion for game development, Animation/Illustration students Tamara Chang, Pauline Pham, and Matthew White, along with other SJSU students, formed their own game development group and started making video games.
Calling themselves Pew Pew Studios (after their first game), the students are part of the GameDev Club and have already completed several games, including Pew Pew, Vivera, Murphy's Diamond, and Immunity. Many of their games feature innovative concepts and approaches to gaming. In the game Immunity, the player is the immune system of a sickly body and controls white blood cells with his or her own brainwaves, via a NeuroSky headset.
Last semester Pew Pew Studios won $2500 at the Silicon Valley Innovation Challenge for their work and was offered a 4-month long mentorship with SpartUps , an accelerator program for early stage startups.
"I have learned so much through helping to develop and being an artist for Pew Pew Studios. Working in a team with so many people with different types of skills and majors to create video games is exciting and inspiring. It motivates me to work harder in my animation classes because I want to use new skills I learn in class to improve Pew Pew Studios," group member Tamara Chang said.
Pew Pew Studios is currently working on a game called The Other Branch. Check out their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/PewPewStudios.
The GameDev Club meets Thursdays at 7:15pm, room 241 in the Art Building.

Animation/Illustration students took top honors at this year's CSU Media Arts Festival. Hillary Bradfield's animated short "Edith and the Bear" placed first in Animation and took Best in Show, while Christy Becker's screenplay, Coyote Children, placed second in the Feature Screenplay category.
Bradfield expressed thanks to her crew: "I'd really like to say a thank you to our film crew. It was an incredible honor to win Best in Show and Best in Animation at CSU Media Arts. There were so many inspiring projects shown in the festival. Big thanks to the Edith and the Bear crew. They were the best crew to work with. I have so many people to thank for this film--my professors at SJSU, and the mentors that helped me outside of school from Nickelodeon and Dreamworks. It took an army to make this film."
The RTVF department also did well at the festival, garnering wins in the Feature Screenplay, Short Screenplay and Music Video categories.
According to the CSU Summer Arts website, the Media Arts Festival was established "in 1991 to give talented students studying film, video, and interactive media within the 23-campus California State University system an opportunity to present their work for critical review. Distinguished CSU professors and industry leaders choose the student finalists and winners in the film, video, and interactive media competition, and all finalist works are screened during the Festival. Cash prizes and the prestigious Rosebud Award are awarded to the winning student entries."

In November, industry artists Amy Beth Christenson, Chris Voy, John-Paul Balmet, Sean Pando and Will Nichols presented their book Punch Drunk Moustache. The book, which also includes work from three other industry artists, showcases their off-the-clock visual development, concepts and art. All eight artists involved with the book have collectively worked for companies such as Lucasfilm Animation, LucasArts, Pixar, Capcom, Squaresoftand Electronic Arts; two are SJSU alums - J.P.Balmet and Jeff Sangalli.
The artists at the event gave insightful stories on their transition from students to professionals.
"Our guest speakers really encouraged me to pour my heart into my personal projects. If I do that, then others can see that this is what I am passionate about, and it is something I am willing to invest my time into," said A/I student Jessica Tong.
Phillip Yoon echoed the sentiment. "I learned that personal work was a far more compelling component to one's portfolio. From the speakers' testimonies, their personal work was the big draw for recruiters looking for employees. And you just have to be the best in the world," he said.
The artists who came stayed long after the presentation, signing books for long lines of appreciative A/I students.
The book is available here.

SJSUAI welcomed entertainment industry veteran Steve Hickner to SJSU this November. Hickner, who has worked as director, producer, and story artist for films such as Bee Movie, Prince of Egypt and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, gave an all-day talk to Animation/Illustration students. Hickner's all-day lecture was divided into two parts. The first half focused on the use of cuts and close-ups in films and the second half discussed his book, Animating Your Career, a guide to navigating the journey of a career in the creative fields—from getting a foot in the door to directing a project involving hundreds of artistic professionals. The book is filled with practical advice from Hickner and many of the top creatives he has worked with over the years.
Hickner has spoken at SJSU several times before, generously sharing his invaluable insight and advice on film-making and storytelling.

SJSU Animation/Illustration Invades Canada
Trekking all the way to the Great White North, Animation/Illustration (A/I) instructors David Chai and David Yee led a group of 16 students and 2 alumni to the Ottawa International Animation Festival (OIAF), from 9/19 – 9/23. Funded in part by donations raised at monthly student-run film screenings, the group managed to watch 75 short and 3 feature-length animated films, and attend numerous artist presentations over the short three day visit. The group also had the opportunity to meet with students, industry professionals, and film makers from around the world at the daily social events. Professor Chai points out "The OIAF is the oldest and best attended animation festival in North America, and is a highlight of the year for many of our students." Kayla Rymes confirms this notion, "Man, this was one of the best times of my life. Couldn't have asked for a better group of friends to spend this weekend with. To Ottawa!"

Dreamworks partners one more time with the Animation/Illustration program
DreamWorks Animation has partnered with the Animation/Illustration program for one more year of the very successful DreamCrits program.
Organized by DreamWorks' amazing outreach department and hosted by the company in its studio headquarters, DreamCrits is a bi-monthly event in which SJSU Animation/Illustration (A/I) students have an extended critique session with Dreamworks artists. Through this unique exchange A/I students have the benefits of receiving very detailed feedback on their art pieces, and they get to spend time discussing their art work with some of the most sought-after professionals in the field.
Over the years, the relationship of the studio with the Animation/Illustration program has expanded to include dedicated internship opportunities, student gallery shows at the DW studio, and DreamWorks artists teaching at the CSU Summer Arts program. Since the inception of the DreamCrit program in 2010, over 500 CSU students have participated, and Animation/Illustration students have been a constant presence. The A/I program is thrilled to start one more round of the Dreamcrits program, and can't wait for the amazing sessions with DreamWorks artists.

SJSU Animators Help Promote Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
This summer, five SJSU Animation/Illustration (A/I) students worked overtime preparing a 30-second commercial to bring awareness to Childhood Cancer Awareness Month; observed in September. Professor David Chai was approached by a fellow SJSU alum about producing animation for 'Brandon's Goal Foundation', a charitable organization that raises money and awareness to help end childhood cancer. The commercial would tell the story of Brandon Brauns, a brave young boy, after whom the foundation is named.
Chai was excited about the prospect, "Our students have been heavily involved with charitable fundraising for years, but this was the first opportunity we've had to use animation in this way."
The student animation team was excited as well. "There was so much we wanted to tell about this important story, but the challenge was fitting it all into 30 seconds" says graduating senior, Wendell Dalit. Along with his team mates Youri Dekker, Aldo Kcomt, Kevin Lam, Catharina Sukiman and Music student Josh Zamora, the group worked feverishly through August to meet the September deadline.
Although the team had to endure many sleepless nights to produce the spot, Dalit found the whole experience to be very rewarding. "The hard work was not an issue at all. The idea of using my art in a way that can make some sort of difference in peoples' lives, kept us going all the way through to the end."

Animators Fire it Up at CSU Summer Arts
From July 1 to July 14, San Jose State Animation/Illustration Professor David Chai
took up residence in student housing at CSU Monterey Bay to coordinate an intensive
CSU Summer Arts course; "DreamWorks Animation: Acting and Emotional Expression." Together
with Rex Grignon, Head of DreamWorks Character Animation and Los Angeles-based actor
Todd Waring, Professor Chai provided a venue for sixteen fortunate students to improve
their understanding of a demanding discipline. The course marked the first Summer
Arts class sponsored by DreamWorks Animation and was an extension of the collaboration
between the CSU and DreamWorks. This valuable partnership is supported by DreamWorks
Outreach as well as the Chancellor's Entertainment Industry Initiative.
Eight students from San Jose State, three from Chico State, two from CSU Northridge,
one from CSU Fullertonand two more from private institutions persevered through two
weeks of challenging work. Although the course was difficult, the results were significant.
Rex Grignon was impressed. "It's incredible watching the students plow through these
projects. It doesn't seem like much doing six seconds of animation, but even at the
professional level, an animator does about three seconds of animation per week. So
they really worked at a professional pace." San Jose State student, Justin Vu agreed.
"Rex's approach really accelerated my animation process," he wrote. "What would normally
take me weeks to get done, I can now finish in days. I'm pretty sure I'll be using
these techniques for the rest of my life."
Professor Chai, who was coordinating a Summer Arts course for the first time, was
enthusiastic about both the class and the value of the CSU Summer Arts experience.
"This program not only allowed the students to learn about animation, but also immersed
them into a two-week artistic colony; surrounding them with actors, musicians, stage
combatants, painters, and writers. I'm sure that most of the students have also made
some friends for life. I'd recommend the CSU Summer Arts program to anyone."

SJSU Animation/Illustration Students are National Finalists for the 40th Annual Student Academy Awards
Couch and Potatoes, a stop-motion, animated short film directed by SJSU Animation/Illustration students Eunsoo Jeong and Christopher Lam, has been selected to be a National Finalists for the 40th Annual Student Academy Awards.
The Student Academy Awards is a national student film competition conducted by the Academy and the Academy Foundation. Each year over 500 college and university film students from all over the United States compete for awards and cash grants, with films being judged in four categories: Animation, Documentary, Narrative and Alternative. Film students from outside the U.S. are honored each year as well. The presentation ceremony is a popular event that is annually attended by a capacity audience in the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater.
To reach this stage, U.S. students competed in one of three regional competitions. Each region is permitted to send to the Academy up to three finalists in each of the four categories.
Through the Student Academy Awards, the Academy recognizes and encourages this country's most promising new filmmakers. Past winners include Spike Lee, Trey Parker, Bob Saget and Oscar winners John Lasseter and Robert Zemeckis.
Final judging by the Academy will be completed by May 20, 2013, and announcement of
the Gold, Silver and Bronze Medal Award winners in each category will be made at the
Student Academy Awards Presentations on June 8, 2013, in Beverly Hills, California.
SJSU Animation/Illustration Program Coordinator, Alice Carter, is ecstatic. "We are
so proud of Eunsoo and Chris and all of the success they have earned from their film.
We are especially gratified to honor a goal we set with DreamWorks Animation in 2008,
when they made a significant donation to our program. At that time, DreamWorks told
us that they would like to have an SJSU Student Academy Award nominee within five
years. Thanks to our dedicated faculty and motivated students, we made it. Sharing
this news with Dreamworks was the icing on the cake."

Animation/Illustration Students Hired at Cartoon Network
Animation/Illustration (A/I) graduating seniors Cory Fuller and Lauren Brown have been hired at Cartoon Network. Fuller will be working as a background designer on the show Uncle Grandpa and Brown will be a Production Assistant on Ben 10: Omniverse. Both attribute their studies with SJSU's A/I program to their successes.
Lauren Brown writes, "The Animation/Illustration program at SJSU prepared me for a job in the Animation industry. The faculty and the A/I program taught me to work hard and challenged me to go beyond what I thought was possible in terms of my own personal goals. Without the A/I Faculty's support, I would never be where I am today."
Cory Fuller adds "The thing about the program that prepared me most for this job was working on numerous animated short film projects. The majority of my graduation portfolio consisted of background layouts and designs from summer and student short films. These projects were perfect training for working on the show. They gave me not only insight into how to apply my work to the production pipeline, but more importantly they gave me the opportunity to learn about and get better at something that I love to do. Everyone at Cartoon Network is just as silly too!"
Fuller stresses most importantly however, "My contract will extend through August, which is when the show airs. At which point the studio will see if gets picked up for more seasons. So tell everybody to watch it so I can keep working! ;)"
Congratulations to another two of our great A/I students!

Animation/Illustration Film wins Honorable Mention at the Ottawa Animation Festival
Why Do We Put Up With Them, a film directed by Animation/Illustration (A/I) Associate
Professor David Chai, won an Honorable Mention award in the "Short Animation for Children"
category at the Ottawa 2012 International Animation Festival, North America's longest running
and most prestigious venue for animation art. The film was one of only 97 selected
from the 2376 entries submitted worldwide. In such a competitive venue, it is remarkable
that Professor Chai produced his film on campus during the summer of 2011 with the
help of a team of twenty-two A/I student volunteers.
"The Ottawa Animation Festival is known for being highly selective. This is the first
SJSU film to be accepted since we first began submitting in 1999. So this is a real
honor for us, and another great reflection of the success of our program," Professor
Chai writes.
Fundraising efforts by the Shrunkenheadman Club made it possible for sixteen A/I students to accompany Professor David Chai and lecturer David Yee to the festival, which ran from September 19 through September 23. Because the majority of the films are unavailable elsewhere, this venue presented a unique opportunity for the students who attended. In addition to the film screenings, the A/I students met with internationally known animators and directors, as well as other students from around the world.

Animation/Illustration Graduate Joins Pixar Studios
When Yung-han Chang was offered an internship in the story department at Pixar Studios, he was not sure if he could accept. As an International student, he needed authorization from the International Program Services office as well as official paperwork for Curricular Practical Training—a process that usually requires more time than Pixar was prepared to give him. Fortunately, A/I Internship coordinator Professor Courtney Granner and Assistant Director of International Students, Louis Gecenok understood the importance of this opportunity. Yung-han got his paperwork, and with it a chance to work at the world's most prestigious animation studio. He made the most of this chance, and at the end of August when he completed his internship he was offered a position as a Pixar story artist. "Most top studios demand that their student hires are receiving faculty-supervised internship credit," says Professor Granner. "That's why we are so happy to offer this opportunity to students like Yung-han whose scholarship and talent put him among the best in the world."

2007 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
D. O'Brien-Genrich1
Background: Premature and high-risk (history of respiratory complications) term infants have been tested for cardiorespiratory complications in a car safety seat (CSS) prior to hospital discharge at The Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska since 1986. However, CSS testing is selective among the ordering physicians. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that each infant born at less than 37 weeks gestation should have a period of observation in a CSS before hospital discharge in order to monitor for possible apnea, bradycardia, or desaturation (1996). The concern is if a standard criterion recommended by the AAP is not utilized, will it pose a serious risk? The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Performance Improvement Team determined that the implementation of the AAP recommendations is necessary to provide consistent CSS testing of infants prior to hospital discharge.
Method: Collected secondary data from CSS test results six months prior to and after implementation of the AAP recommendations. The study includes only infants admitted to the NICU from July 2004 through June 2005. Two samples were identified. The first sample is selected to include only tests that were performed based on the discretion of the physician (pre AAP group). The second sample is selected to include only those infants who fell within the guidelines of the revised policy (post AAP group). A quasi-experimental design is utilized to evaluate the CSS testing results.
Conclusion: The implementation of the AAP guidelines established a consistent process without a significant increase in CSS testing for infants discharged from the NICU. It was found that the number of failed tests post implementation were all infants less than 37 weeks gestation compared to the pre AAP testing group. Based on this analysis with the small sample size, the recommendation would be to continue to test all NICU infants in a CSS prior to discharge.
Pre AAP Group | Post AAP Group | |
Total Admissions to the NICU | 170 | 140 |
CSS Tests Performed | 53% (n=90) | 52% (n=73) |
Premature infants tested | 72% | 82% |
High-risk term infants tested | 28% | 18% |
Passed CSS Test | 90% | 93% |
Failed CSS Test | 5.6% | 6.8% |
Premature infants failed CSS Test | 40% | 100% |
Infants discharged with supplemental oxygen | 8.9% | 4.1% |

10 All-Natural Ways to Stay Young
Stress Less
Getting older -- without being doomed to wrinkle-dom and jiggly thighs -- does not require a high-priced trainer and a bucket o' Botox. We swear it. We know it. We asked top researchers to share their stay-young secrets for winding back time naturally. Their advice will help you stay young and have you looking and feeling everyday fabulous, by doing everyday smart things: exercise, eat healthy, de-stress -- not so hard, right? Try it today.
The Workout That Helps You Lose Weight and Stay YoungGet the complete You on a Diet Workout, developed by Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen, authors of the best-selling You on a Diet.
Recent studies show that stress causes physical changes in the body that can accelerate aging. Surges of the hormones adrenaline and cortisol cause blood pressure to rise and the heart to beat faster. These days, when our stressors seem unrelenting (a steady stream of job pressures, traffic jams, money problems), chronic doses of adrenaline and cortisol take a heavy toll on our physical and emotional health. "Sixty to 90 percent of all doctors' visits each year are related to anxiety, depression, obsessive anger and hostility, insomnia, high blood pressure, heart attacks -- all problems caused by stress," says Herbert Benson, MD, author of the landmark book The Relaxation Response and a founder and director emeritus of the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine in Boston.
The most effective way to halt this destructive chain of events is to meditate, using what Dr. Benson calls "the relaxation response." The technique involves repeating a mantra -- a word, sound, phrase, or prayer -- for as little as 10 minutes a day. A 2005 study conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston showed that meditation helped prevent age-related changes in the brain.
Try it! Once or twice daily, for 10 to 20 minutes (yes, you do have the time -- you just have to make it), sit in a quiet place, close your eyes, relax your muscles, roll your head, neck, and shoulders, and breathe deeply. On each exhale, repeat your mantra. If other thoughts try to invade, says Dr. Benson, tell yourself, "Oh, well," and return to your word or phrase. When you're done, keep your eyes closed for an extra minute; slowly allow everyday thoughts to flow back into your mind. Still not into the idea of meditation? Do yoga, or something active and repetitive, like running, instead. Focus on your breathing and how your feet land with each stride. Get your to-do list out of your head, says Dr. Benson.
