Autism group aids teensWritten by Autumn Lee | | firstname.lastname@example.com
According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2007 report, one in 150 children, aged 8 years in multiple areas of the United States, had an autism spectrum disorder.
Through its Hench Autism Studies Program (HASP), Defiance College is seeking to educate teens with autism, support their families and provide "best-practice education" to undergraduate and graduate students.
The program, launched fall of 2007, is addressing the need for "better and more integrated services for late adolescents with autism who are challenged by sensory issues, communication problems and interpersonal interactions," according to a Defiance College spokesperson. In addition, HASP "will also work to provide services for families."
Catharine O'Connell, P.hD., vice president for academic affairs, said, "At least as we can tell so far, there really aren't a lot of people working with adolescents with autism."
After initial meetings to discuss creating the autism program at Defiance College, O'Connell said they discovered they had people in different disciplines who had worked in special education, MRDD and other related areas.
"When we all got together, we found we had a fair amount of expertise in the room," she said.
The program was created through a collaboration between Defiance College, area school districts (chiefly the Northwest Ohio Educational Service Center), Bittersweet Farms of Whitehouse, Ohio, and philanthropists Eric and Deb Hench, parents of a son with autism.
The "multi-faceted" program includes:
- A specialized on-campus, public high school classroom for late adolescents with autism
- A resource and referral center for families of children and adults with autism
- Specialized training for undergraduate students to have peer interaction with students with autism
- Focused coursework for undergraduate social work majors and additional training for licensed social workers
- A new licensure within the Master of Arts in Education Program for Intervention Specialist, Mild and Moderate K-12, with an emphasis in autism
Defiance resident Eric Hench, also a trustee for Defiance College, shared his frustrations about reaching the resources needed for his son, Jon, 19, while he was growing up.
Most of the therapists Jon needed were not available locally, Eric Hench said. He and his wife, Deb, had to make many trips to Toledo to meet the various needs of their son.
The constant traveling proved to be a "big-time investment," as they sometimes went three times a week, he said.
Deb Hench said their son had "a lot of developmental delays," which left him at a much younger age (about age 8) than his chronological age, despite the normal teenaged physiological changes he experienced.
His developmental age made it difficult for Jon to deal with the difference from his actual age when he was not maturing in his decision-making, knowing what not to say in certain situations and controlling his temper when he took things people said too literally, she said.
When their son was younger, she said services for individuals with autism were minimal, even those for children.
"Now that [Jon's] older, there are even less services [available]," she said.
Eric Hench said Jon has become a resident at Bittersweet Farms (which offers residential and other services to people with autism) allowing for a "surprisingly smooth transition" from living at home. It is a place where Jon has "adapted very well."
When developing the idea for HASP, Deb Hench said they wanted to provide "relief for parents so they could get a break."
In addition to their proximity to Defiance College, Eric Hench said it was also the college's mission to provide service learning that led them to discuss creating an autism program there.
He said he would like the program to bring students, who are pursuing teaching or other applicable career choices, "up to speed" when working with students with autism.
Another goal for the program includes setting up a resource center to help parents that have recently received an autism diagnosis for their child, Hench said.
"Hopefully, the center will be able to smooth the path for other parents," Hench said, "… so it's not such a 'rocky road.'"
Wendy Nashu, a special education supervisor for the Northwest Ohio Educational Service Center, discussed the program's public school classroom, which serves students with autism ages 15 years and older. The on-campus classroom has two students with a capacity for four additional students.
Nashu said the program is "a new approach in assisting students to transition into the larger community."
She works with a team of professionals, including an occupational therapist, speech therapist, adaptive physical education teacher, psychologist, classroom teacher and a paraprofessional classroom aide.
Defiance College has provided them with "a safe environment to work in" and "has proven to be a great opportunity for the students [with autism]," who get to work with peer-aged students, Nashu said.
For instance, teachers and students in the HASP classroom have created a business, "Bumble Bean Coffee," to sell coffee, beverages and baked goods on campus, which gives students with autism opportunities to develop business and communication skills, a Defiance College spokesperson said.
Defiance College freshman Alaina Hammond, who is involved in the program's peer mentoring group, said they have met with students with autism to help them be better equipped in learning "unspoken rules" of communication.
"Earlier, in the class, we went to Bittersweet Farms, [where] we spent time helping out, met more individuals with autism and learned about the [different] severities of mental impairment," Hammond said.
Some people with autism have minor mental impairment, Hammond explained, while others have more severe impairment and have difficulty speaking.
"Often, they are just different in the way they speak and reason," she said. "… They think in pictures sometimes."

Research, Evaluation, & Data

Other Research Resources
Helping fathers improve their economic status by providing activities,
such as Work First services, job search, job training, subsidized
employment, job retention and job enhancement; and encouraging
education, including career-advancing education.
There is no single model of a work first program. What defines such
programs is their overall philosophy: that any job is a good job and
that the best way to succeed in the labor market is to join it,
developing work habits and skills on the job rather than in a
classroom. Work first programs also share a strong message that, for
participants, employment is both the goal and the expectation. Beyond
this common philosophy, however, work first programs vary significantly
in the services they offer, the sequencing of their activities, the
extent to which participation is required and enforced, and even their
goals and approach. This guide provides some insight in how to
Implement an Employment-Focused Approach to Welfare Reform.
The Welfare Peer Technical Assistance Network
provides peer-to-peer technical assistance to public agencies and
private organizations operating the Temporary Assistance to Needy
Families (TANF) program. Technical assistance is provided through a
variety of mechanisms: peer-to-peer site visits, workshops, moderated
teleconferences and interactive Q&A sessions. The Web site also
highlights policy relevant research, innovative programs, related links
and upcoming events. The objective of the Peer TA Network is to
facilitate the sharing of information between and among states and to
establish linkages between organizations serving the needs of welfare recipients.
Reports and other Information about programs and demonstrations designed to help low-income fathers
obtain the skills they need to provide financial and emotional support for their children.
TANF (managed by the Office of Family Assistance (OFA)) provides
assistance and work opportunities to needy families by
granting states the federal funds and wide flexibility to develop and
implement their own welfare programs. Citizens may apply for assistance
at their local TANF agency.
TANF Factsheet.
The Workforce Investment Act of 1998 provides the framework for a unique
national workforce preparation and employment system designed to meet
both the needs of the nation's businesses and the needs of job seekers
and those who want to further their careers. Title I of the legislation is based on the following elements:

Entries in Novogratz (8)
the novogratz in the berkshires
A sneak peek of The Novogratz Holiday Collection
With colorful bold modern pieces combined with vintage finds they've gathered, Robert and Cortney Novogratz transform their New England country home every Christmas. Designed exclusively for CB2, the Novogratz Holiday Collection celebrates our favorites—we hope you enjoy this sneak peek and check out the full collection soon at cb2.com!
What do the holidays mean the most to you?
Robert comes from a big family and ours obviously is too—seven in each—so gathering together for celebrations means a lot of family, friends, good food and fun.
Where's your favorite place to gather for the holidays?
Wherever we can! Since there are so many of us, our country house in the Berkshires is perfect—we've come a very long way since our first tiny apartment when we used folding tray tables for dining.
Decorating the house for the holidays adds visual memories—and we enjoy creating new ones by taking elements of the past into the future. Raw materials like clear acrylic, brass and mirrors—all from the 70s when we were growing up. The mirrored disco gnome is surely the epitome—it's a trippy ode to the era.
You also bring in elements of antiques…
As much as we can—we love reworking antique pieces and the inspiration they give us. For example, the frame of the acrylic trunk recalls heavy-duty steamer trunks, the ram's head references iconic taxidermy, and the deuce bed was inspired by "the one that got away" at the Paris flea market.
…and playful elements that remind us of the circus.
When our families and all of our friends are together—it is a circus! The lucky 7 helps create the mood—as well as the flechette dart board which does double-duty by entertaining the kids… and the adults!
How do you keep traditions with so much going on?
Again, with lots of visual cues—like a traditional pattern done in a new way as a brightly colored, over-sized scale on the mod plaid rug.
The acrylic trunk reminds us of the many travels our ancestors experienced to get us where we are today—and the many travels we've shared as a large family around the world. Today we use it to organize just about any type of "stuff" we've collected along the way.
Tell us about your wreath.
Traditions start by introducing something meaningful and repeating it year after year—so we started a new one by hanging the inner peace wreath on the front door. The modern combination of the twinkling lights with the rustic twigs strikes just the right contrast—and we love sharing and welcoming friends and family with this message since it speaks from our hearts.
the novogratz in brasil
When did you first visit South America?
We heard Brasil was a beautiful place with beautiful people, so we always wanted to visit. Our first trip was 10 years ago after our friend Alex told us it was the next cool place—he was right!
What were your first impressions?
Brasil is a huge and beautiful country with great cities and amazing natural elements—not to mention the fantastic Samba music we listened to a lot.
Why did you choose Brasil for a second home—quite a distance from New York?
We wanted to expose our kids to other cultures and we have always loved to travel. With our big gang it gets expensive to stay in hotels, spend a day at a theme park—so the Trancoso house made a lot of economic sense. The bonus is that it allows us to have a lot of quality time together free from appointments, lessons, science projects.
Do you have a routine for visiting—planning the dates, packing, etc?
Everyone enjoys the journey but it is a long flight—thank goodness for in-flight movies. In general we're able to pack light since it's all about t-shirts, bathing suits, and bare feet.
Are there "must do's" while you're there?
Yes! Swimming, surfing, dune buggy rides, the Qadrado at night and all the great restaurants.
The house is very relaxing so it's easy to just enjoy the views and never leave—but we're always tempted by a day trip to check out more of the country.
What do your children love about Brasil?
They love the energy of New York City and Brasil is quite different—the opposite extreme—relaxed, casual, beaches vs calendars, homework, skyscrapers. We have high-speed web access at the house so everyone has the choice to escape or check-in.
We have great memories every trip we take, but we especially love lazy days on the beach, sunrises with great big cups of coffee, or just hanging with our crazy gang.

Symphony musicians have to be versatile. They must be able to play Baroque music one night, then the next it's Romantic repertoire, or Broadway or even Rock music. But this weekend, the musicians of the San Antonio Symphony demonstrated their versatility in a very different way. Friday and Saturday they were dressed in their concert […] [Read More]

How much, depends on what city you are in.
According to local ticket broker Ticket King, prices are down around 15 percent for this Sunday's game.
However, the home game against the Eagles is a gold, or Milwaukee, ticket package.
When we talked with Connections Ticket Service in Milwaukee they say the average ticket has dropped by 40 percent.
Both places have been flooded with phone calls of fans looking to unload their tickets. They say it is a buyer's market.
"Definitely there are the fair-weather fans. If their team is losing they jump off ship or if their star quarterback gets hurt they think it is the end of the world. But they still have games to play, and other players on the team" says Travis Loftus, a Ticket Broker with Ticket King.
The tourism industry itself is taking a wait and see approach. So far they are not feeling an impact.
"Most of our hotels are still pretty full" says Brad Toll with the Greater Green Bay Convention and Visitors Bureau. "Coming into the cold weather games sometimes they lighten up a bit, not as popular as September or October, but November looks pretty well from a hotel standpoint".
Lambeau Field is always technically considered a sell out, but it is the resale market that is feeling an impact right now.
Ticket brokers say this is not unusual.
Prices took a dive last season after the upsetting loss to Seattle.
They expect the slide to stop later this week when some of the shock has worn off.
The anticipated return of Clay Matthews could also help boost last minute sales.

Toledo, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Rian Pearson scored 17 points and pulled down 12 rebounds as Toledo captured a 77-66 win over the Eastern Michigan Eagles as the Rockets secured a share of the Mid-American Conference regular-season title at Savage Hall.
Pearson also accounted for four assists and four steals as well for the Rockets (26-5, 14-4 MAC), while Justin Drummond led all scorers with 22 points and matched Julius Brown (13 points) with seven assists. Also scoring in double figures for the host was Jonathan Williams who converted 4-of-6 behind the 3-point line for his 12 points in 22 minutes of action.
With the victory, their third straight and the fifth in the last six outings, the Rockets matched Western Michigan atop the West Division standings.
As for the Eagles (18-13, 10-8), who had a three-game win streak come to an end, they were paced by Karrington Ward with 20 points, followed by Raven Lee and Mike Talley with 14 and 12 points, respectively, the latter adding a game- high eight assists in the setback.
Both teams had a hard time finding the basket in the first half, as EMU converted just 36.7 percent from the floor and the Rockets 34.5 percent. However, of Toledo's 10 field goals, eight came from 3-point range as it claimed a 35-32 advantage at the break. The Eagles knocked down 6-of-11 on the perimeter in the period in order to keep the game close.
In the second half the Rockets turned in a much better effort from the field at 50 percent and while the visitors converted a more respectable 48.0 percent, they also connected on only 7-of-14 at the free-throw line.
Eastern Michigan, which led by as many as six points midway through the first half, finished with 15 turnovers, which the hosts converted into 20 points.

At NGV, you'll find work from the colonial to the contemporary, and an impressive, often moving, permanent collection of Aboriginal works. The gallery's architecture is also stunning; glass shards cut through its concrete exterior to give you glimpses of the city, river and parkland beyond. Next door is the Australian Centre for the Moving Image<, better known as
. Just across Flinders Street, you'll find the city's street-art hub in
Hosier Lane
Sporting heritage
Sports fans can opt for the
National Sports Museum
tour. The museum brings Australia's long sporting heritage to life, and has halls of fame dedicated to both cricket and AFL.
Go gourmet
Head to
Birrarung Marr
for an impromptu gourmet picnic;
Queen Victoria Market
. Then hop on the free
Circle Tram
and loop the city, including
. It's a good way to get your bearings, do some passive sightseeing and ride a beloved vintage tram. Jump off at
Flinders Street
Station and explore the shops of Degraves Street, Centre Place, the Block Arcade and Little Collins Street. The Royal Arcade's
Koko Black
will relieve shopping fatigue with its Belgian hot chocolate, or grab an espresso at Melbourne's other cult coffee spot,
Brother Baba Budan
Fashion for all
Continue to
the GPO
, about as elegant as a shopping centre can hope to be, as are the reinvented laneways of
. Fashion-forward types should pop down to
Flinders Lane
as well.
Beer o'clock yet?
If it's a steamy night head to the

This quaint deli at 33 Hornby St, Windsor in Melbourne is run by a friendly young couple, Kat and Al. When you enter for your early morning coffee your instantly aware of something fresh being baked in the oven with that homecooked smell wafting from the kitchen. Windsor Deli offer a good variety of breakfast choices but my favourite is the No 2 scrambled eggs with potato, caramalised onion, bacon and cheese. Their double choc chip brownie is one of the best I have tried and their gluten free Amaretto cake is also really good even if you are not gluten intolerant. They have a good selection of biscuits and cakes all made on the premises, along with a great choice of sandwiches for the more health conscious. Why not try some of their take home meals which are handly for those lazy nights and the homemade jams and chutneys. Give this little shop on the corner a go and I think you will be pleasantly surprised and will enjoy the experience.
god, how boring is this itinerary. im from melbourne, and none of this made me interested in wanting to do anything, its like a 'thank god we are only in this place for 24 hours'. so what to do instead, ok, coffee in degraves st. then head over to the eureka tower to look over the city, i like the polly woodside idea, head over to docklands for lunch and shopping. go to the zoo, or aquarium, or the museum, do a walking tour of the city, check out the town hall, or parliament there are some lovely old buildings in the city.. the arts centre, go for a walk through the fitzroy gardens, or the botanical gardens. the library, go for a boat cruise down the yarra, those are some ideas, better then just checking out places to eat at.
Melbourne has a lot of atractions for everyone, i'm sure that one day is not enough for this amazing city. I reckom that to go to a footy match (Aussie Rules) would be awsome experience, try some meat pies, walk around the MCG and Rod Lover Arena Melbourne, go around St.Kilda and have a dinner in the South Bank woul be a very nice day to enjoy Melbourne.
Being an ex victorian i had to have a say... Surely you can do better than this? Firstly their are a number of great caf'es in the laneways off Flinders st for that early morning starter. Then a stroll along the boardwalk at Southbank to the Polly Woodside. Afterwards catch a tram to the Vic markets and spend a good morning there with lunch on site. Then head to any of the great shopping areas around collins St. Check out Federation Square and a trip up the rialo building is a must for city views. Night time go anywere for dinner and drinks, melborne has heaps or grab a cab and head to Carlton for some great italian..... Back to southbank to chcck out the display at the crowne casino and hit a nightclub...
So now we're saying SPORTS instead of SPORT. Every day we become more American. And anyway, not every drongo in this world wants to spend their whole day doing football-related things. This is a pretty terrible itinerary. I'd much rather spend time in St Kilda than do most of this stuff.

[singlepic id=174 w=320 h=240 float=right]Identity for Grace is about helping individual "households" of Grace to claim their place in the universe.
As the Holy Spirit pulls and pushes the "Holy catholic/universal church" forward, local expressions of the church, such as Grace Lutheran, are becoming more fully aware that a primary, if not the most important, reason for the local expression of church, is to "equip" – to help, the people of God be aware of how God is acting in the world and to be part of it. This means to be much more focused on helping each person to be more fully human and to be honest about the joys and challenges of following Jesus the Christ.
Identity Team Leader: Lynn Grusy
Identity Ministry focuses on supporting individual households and offering group activities.
Supporting individual households
Grace is evolving a system of people (Faithful Friends is the term we are currently using) who are aware and supportive of every Grace household. Grace households, as is true for most of the households in the United States, are very different than in decades past. Today's households include, single people, more that are women than men, "traditional" households, a husband and wife with children, "non-traditional" households, same, and other, gender couples who cohabitate, single parents, "blended-families" and "empty-nesters". Most Grace households are very involved within the community of Grace. Some are not as involved. Some people are away, such as school/military, some are homebound or restricted to elder care facilities, some work at times preventing their presence at the large community gathering on Sundays. Some may just be away spiritually or socially for the moment. All such Grace people (households) will have a person (Faithful Friend) who on behalf of the Grace Community will foster a Christ-centered caring and supportive relationship as desired by the household itself.
Ideally, each household is supported to engage the world, as they are able. They will deepen relationships with others at Grace (small group ministry) and be on the frontier of humbly serving, inviting, being, receiving, questioning, walking with and loving all of God's creation and those who inhabit it.
Offering group activities
The focus for group activities is what happens on Sunday Mornings. They include worship, fellowship and education. These are the activities most associated with being "church."

Jack Osbourne announced yesterday that he has closed a deal with a publisher to release his memoir. Through our shadowy network of media operatives, BWE.tv was able to procure the ENTIRE text of the autobiography, which will be the shortest in history, considering he was only 20 years old when he wrote it. Here it is, unabridged, for you all to enjoy:
My dad's weird so my family was on TV and I got wasted a lot until I had to stop partying so much then I went to rehab and lost weight. THE END

'The War for His Enemies' —A Reflection for Holy Week
The following is a reflection offered by our pastoral intern, Christopher Nuttelman, at our Tuesday night Holy Week Service. The Tuesday of Holy Week is the most thoroughly recorded day of Jesus' ministry. Matthew, Mark and Luke give us many of Jesus' words from this day, and they are all severe. He embarrasses the Sadducees, […] [Read More]
Remembering St. James and St. Luke
This last week Lutherans remembered both St. Luke and St. James. Both were unique and in some ways represent the breadth of the early church. But both serve as great examples of how the proclamation of the first Christians was rooted in real events. [Read More]

Pierre McGuire's exclusive interview with Sidney Crosby
Mar 7, 2012, 11:33 PM EDT
Hockey fans – particularly admirers of the Pittsburgh Penguins – might just be crossing off the days until Sunday. It's far from a guarantee, but that's the soonest that Sidney Crosby claimed he might return.
With the Toronto Maple Leafs in town to face the Penguins, Pierre McGuire received the chance to engage in a lengthy interview with Crosby. Check out the Penguins star's thoughts on his latest steps in recovery, his views on the team he captains and plenty of other issues:This video is no longer available.

- taytay099 - Mar 7, 2012 at 11:43 PM
I don't want to click play now that I know it's Pierre McQuire. *Shudders*
- nothanksimdriving123 - Mar 8, 2012 at 3:17 AM
Actually, while Pierre can be rather annoying during play when he can't refrain from tapping into his prodigious knowledge of the game, always at a shout, seemingly unaware how well these newfangled microphones work ("that was just an unacceptable lapse for that 22-year-old native of Poison Oak, Minnesota, whose grandfather used to go fishing in the offseason with the great Gordie Howe whose record 801 goals was broken by Wayne Gretzky whose father was a telephone company employee who used to set up a backyard rink every winter in Brantford, Ontario…")… BUT he really is one of the better interviewers in the hockey TV biz. Seriously.
- napoleonblownapart6887 - Mar 8, 2012 at 9:40 AM
Hahaha oh man I was saying the exact same thing last night… I was watching the game and he was talking about how Chris Kunitz's brother went to Oklahoma State to play soccer, and then stayed down there to marry his college sweetheart and now runs a soccer camp in Dallas. I mean since Pierre was in Dallas with Pittsburgh a week or so ago, it's not outside the realm of possibility that it would come up in a conversation, but what about Kunitz's dump-in made you feel it necessary to bring up that little nugget?
- lonespeed - Mar 8, 2012 at 9:22 AM
I had to change the channel last night. Two of the most annoying people in sports on the television at the same time.
As a hockey fan, I really want Sidney Crosby to come back because the league is better when his talent is amongst it. I just don't want to hear him whine. I feel bad he's having concussion issues, but I would not want that guy on my team. He's just such a whinny little b…well you know what I mean.
Pierre, for as much knowledge as he has is simply one of the most annoying commentators ever. He constantly lobs softball questions, marks out to people and fixates on the obvious over-and-over.
- sportsfreak13 - Mar 8, 2012 at 9:30 AM
Its funny because the people who complain and say crosby whines spend just about as much time on a post whining about his supposed whining. Give me one example from that video where he was whining? Also try not to whine so much in your next post.
- hystoracle - Mar 8, 2012 at 9:44 AM
Crosby has spent more time sitting in chairs conducting interviews and press conferences than skating on the ice playing the game in the past year. I don;t want to hear anymore from him or about him on a national stage until he comes back and plays more than 3 games without squashing his melon again.
He's a great player who has become totally irrelevant because of major concussion problems.
- sportsfreak13 - Mar 8, 2012 at 9:52 AM
12 points in his last 10 games during his first comeback. Your right would want to hype the second comeback. If he was totally irrelevant then there wouldnt be so many posts about him.
- mattcmcpherson - Mar 8, 2012 at 11:10 AM
The Hockey News recently released it's annual top 100 People of Power and Influence for 2012.
Coming in at #4, Crosby was the highest ranked player and sat only behind Donald Fehr, Gary Bettman, and Bill Daly.
So he sits only behind the two guys who run the league, and the head of the NHLPA.
Is that your definition of "Irrelevant"?
- mattcmcpherson - Mar 8, 2012 at 11:30 AM
I think I have my facts wrong.
Crosby was #4 on that list in 2011.
In 2012 I believe he was actually #1.
- kitshky - Mar 8, 2012 at 12:19 PM
Almost caved. I typed out a reply extolling the virtues of Sid …but then realized it was just feeding the ignorants so I deleted it. (whew!)
But … I do love Pierre. Ya he's super weird and way over chatty, but he's also one of the most energetic and hooked in analysts you're gonna find in the game right now.
- Buffalo Grumblings - Mar 8, 2012 at 2:35 PM
As a hockey fan I'm worried for Sid the Kid. I know he's the face of the NHL right now, but these concussion symptoms have been lingering for over 2 years. I worry that he is one elbow or boarding penalty from being done for good. Remember Pat LaFontainne and Eric Lindross? And I agree with others, McGuire just needs to shut up during games, he is a wealth of useless facts during a hockey broadcast!

Who needs to see a view of the Memphis skyline from Arkansas when you can see it in all it's glory painted on a wall on Elvis Presley Boulevard?
There were 14 popes named Clement, 2 antipopes named Clement and a street in San Francisco named Clement. Then there is a song about Clementine, the daughter of a gold-rush era forty niner. And how could we forget about the oranges called Clementines? And then there were the Clementine oranges on Clement Street in San Francisco where the forty niners once reigned. I don't know if the antipopes had anything to do with Tokyo Ya going out of business, but if they did, they should be ashamed.

By Army Staff Sgt. Michael J. CardenAmerican Forces Press Service
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, July 12, 2008 The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff met with Pakistan's military and civilian leaders here today to discuss issues concerning Pakistan's lack of pressure toward insurgents flowing from its border into Afghanistan.
During Navy Adm. Mike Mullen's brief stop in Pakistan, which lasted less than a day, he met with President Pervez Musharraf; Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani; Mahmud Ali Durrani, national security advisor to the prime minister; and army Chief of Staff Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani.
The admiral discussed a wide array of security issues, along with his growing concern for the lack of pressure on Pakistan's side of the border, Navy Capt. John Kirby, a spokesman for Mullen, said.
U.S. military officials attribute the border issue as one of the main causes for the recent spike in violence throughout southern and eastern Afghanistan.
The chairman has kept the details of these discussions private, but stressed that Pakistan's leaders are aware of U.S. concerns and the challenges both countries face in the border region. Pakistani officials said they are working to address those challenges, Kirby said.
"The new Pakistan government has a very difficult challenge and continues to work its way through, but has to enforce making sure foreign fighters don't exist out there and make sure the insurgents don't have the freedom of movement across the border," Mullen said during an interview with reporters July 10 in Afghanistan.
Mullen later said he was pleased with the outcome of his meetings today and looks forward to taking any opportunity to meet with Pakistani leaders.

Are You Happy With the Life You Have?
Are you truly happy with the life you have?
Or have you been discouraged and sad?
Have the things in life brought you contentment?
Or are you one who's often filled with resentment?
The feelings you have, and the ambitions inside…
Is there some trouble that you're trying to hide?
Everything you have… God has given to you!
His promises are true!
And he'll never fail you!
The happiness you may be seeking,
you can find in him!
You can find peace,
hope and satisfaction within!
Christ can bring a healing that you won't find!
Won't you give him a chance?
While there's still time?
What profits a man if he gains the world,
or loses his soul?
Jesus loves you so much!
More than you'll ever know!
The opportunity is here, for you to take!
Won't you give God a chance? For heaven's sake?
