Autism Overview
Autism is a complex developmental disorder that has the following three defining core features:
A number of other associated symptoms frequently coexist with autism. Most people with autism have problems using language, forming relationships, and appropriately interpreting and responding to the external world around them.
Autism is a behaviorally defined developmental disorder that begins in early childhood. Although the diagnosis of autism may not be made until a child reaches preschool or school age, the signs and symptoms of autism may be apparent by the time the child is aged 12-18 months, and the behavioral characteristics of autism are almost always evident by the time the child is aged 3 years. Language delay in the preschool years (younger than 5 years) is typically the presenting problem for more severely affected children with autism. Higher functioning children with autism are generally identified with behavioral problems when they are aged approximately 4-5 years or with social problems later in childhood. Autism disorder persists throughout the person's lifetime, although many people are able to learn to control and modify their behavior to some extent.
As of May 2013, autism, along with what were formally described as Asperger's syndrome and pervasive developmental disorders were classified by the American Psychiatric Association as autism spectrum disorders (ASDs).
All of these disorders are characterized by varying degrees of problems with communication, social interaction, and atypical, repetitive behaviors.
There is a wide range of symptoms, severity, and other manifestations of these disorders. The expression of autism spectrum disorders varies widely among affected individuals. A child with significant impairment in all three of the core functioning areas (socialization, communication, and atypical, repetitive behaviors) may have a lower level-functioning autism spectrum disorder, while a child with similar problems but without delays in language development may have a higher level-functioning autism spectrum disorder.
Some people are affected with fairly mild symptoms and signs of autism. Many of these individuals learn to live independent lives. Others are more severely affected and require lifelong care and supervision.
As the following statistics indicate, autism is a common developmental disorder.
There is no cure for autism; however, there is good news.

Understated beauty and an uncompromising level of utility are key to the Pablo design philosophy," says designer Dana Cannam on his inspiration for Clamp. "The opportunity to extend that sensitivity to a material as essential as wood was a natural transition." Clamp continues Pablo's tradition of offering simple, efficient pieces by combining two basic elements — wood and light — in a seemingly oppositional pairing of the natural and the technological. While warm, North American hardwood composes its frame, the most sustainable, energy efficient LED technology comprises its light source. Designed for versatility and portability, the Clamp, freestanding, floor and mini models all include a minimal number of parts that enable infinite adjustment of its warm, diffused light.

As part of Dartmouth Peak Performance's goal to position our students-athletes for maximal physical, intellectual and personal growth, we have integrated the resource of sport psychology. It operates under the assumptions that psychological factors affect athletic performance and conversely, participation in athletic competition affects the psyche. The science of sport psychology blends the concepts of both psychology and kinesiology.
With the integration of sports psychology, Dartmouth student-athletes will have a resource for becoming trained in the psychological skills of performance improvement. These skills include concentration, goal setting, imagery, visualization, confidence, leadership, communication, team building and anxiety control. Sports Psychology can also help train student-athletes to deal with the adverse aspects of being a collegiate athlete, such as injury, rehabilitation, time management and specific transitions throughout an athletics career. Clinical psychologist Mark Hiatt, Ph.D, has partnered with Dartmouth Peak Performance to provide one-on-one sports performance counseling to student-athletes.
"I am very excited about the DP2 Program as a whole, and particularly the emphasis on sport/performance psychology. Developing a strong mental game is very important in collegiate sports and can benefit students in numerous ways both in and out of athletics."
Hiatt is excited to supplement his work at Dick's House by working closely with Dartmouth student-athletes as part of Dartmouth Peak Performance.
"During my time at Dartmouth, I have had the great opportunity to work with many different athletes, as well as some teams, on issues related to performance and the development of mental skills."
Hiatt will work with both teams and individual student-athletes on honing the mental skills of performance by spending four hours a week working in the athletic-department.
Mark Hiatt has been on the staff of Health Services since 2003. He received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Virginia in 2001 and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Dartmouth Medical School, Department of Psychiatry in 2002.

YIELD: Makes 8 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 40 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 3 hours (includes cooling to warm)
IngredientsFor the topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon pure almond extract (optional)
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice
- 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- Pinch of salt
- 4 pounds baking apples such as Golden Delicious, Gala, or Crispin (about 7 large), peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch-thick slices
- Special equipment: 2- to 2 1/2-quart shallow baking dish
Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle. Butter baking dish
For the topping:
Pulse together flour, sugar, butter, salt, and extracts in a food processor until some large clumps form.
Set aside 1/4 cup for filling and transfer remaining topping to a bowl. Stir in almonds.
For the filling:
Cook sugar in a dry 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until sugar is melted into a deep-golden caramel.
Remove from heat and carefully add apple juice, butter, and salt (caramel will harden and steam vigorously). Cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved.
Put apples in a large bowl and toss with reserved topping mixture and caramel, then spread in baking dish. (Dish will be very full.)
Scatter clumps of topping over apples, squeezing small handfuls of topping into clumps when necessary.
Bake until apples are tender and top is golden and crisp, about 1 hour. Cool to warm or room temperature.
Cooks' Notes:
Topping can be made 2 days ahead and kept chilled, covered.
Crisp is best eaten the day it is made, but any leftovers can be chilled, covered. The topping will get soggy, but you can rewarm the crisp in a 350°F oven.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate reporter
After explaining to citizens that "this is not something any of us want to do, it's something we have to do," Wellington Mayor Ben Blackburn called for a motion, a second, and a vote on the city's proposed increase in sewer rates.
The vote was unanimously in favor. As a result, rates will jump to $28.00 per month from the previous $22.75.
During a public hearing on the matter before the vote, Blackburn explained to citizens the reasons for the measure.
First, the city needs an extra $1.50 per month to pay off its $240,000, zero-interest bonds for sewer repairs. Wellington has already received an outright $240,000 grant from the state's Community Impact Board, but the board would not grant the full cost of $480,000.
The balance would have to come as a loan. In addition to paying off the loan principal, the city must also build up a reserve equal to a year's worth of payments to meet the bonding requirements.
More expensive than the bond payments of $8,000 per year, however, is a new state requirement that the city flush and videotape all of its main lines every five years.
Based on the $75,000 this year's survey is expected to cost, it means the city will add $2.50 to its monthly bills.
Other factors included a $1.00 per month increase in payments to the Price River Water Improvement District for sewage treatment and a 25-cent hike in cleaning and maintenance.
While the mayor had explained that the CIB would not authorize a 100 percent grant because it deemed the city's current rates were too low, citizen Ken Smith commented that Heber City and St. George have lower rates.
Blackburn replied that he did not know how those two cities could offer lower prices, but that he was certain his city accounted for all the factors involved in its rates.

Point Foundation empowers promising LGBTQ students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential – despite the obstacles often put before them – to make a significant impact on society.
Geoff was born in New York and raised in Newtown, Pennsylvania. His upbringing in a conventionally conservative setting challenged him to explore and assert himself in an environment which actively valued and encouraged conformity.
After coming out in high school, Geoff became involved in, and eventually president of, his school's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) group, Spectrum. He has also spoken at the Equality Forum conference in Philadelphia and encouraged his classmates to join him in attendance. Outside of his work in the LGBTQ community, Geoff has also been the editor of his high school's newspaper The Scribe, the school's literary magazine the Solebury Literary Arts Magazine (SLAM), a National Merit Scholar and an Eagle Scout.
Geoff is a currently an undergraduate at Brown University, where he expects to combine English and French Literature, Visual and Literary Arts, and Queer Theory into an interdisciplinary study focusing on interpersonal communication and identity-making. Following his education, Geoff hopes to contribute to the construction of a more individual-affirming world culture through LGBTQ public relations and media outreach.

During the U.S. Senate debate over the PATRIOT Act renewal on May 24, Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) told his fellow Senators: "There is secret law where, in effect, the interpretation of the law, as it stands today, is kept secret. So here we are, Senators on the floor, and we have colleagues of both political parties wanting to participate. Certainly, if you are an American, you are in Oregon or Colorado, you are listening in, you want to be part of this discussion. But yet the executive branch keeps secret how they are interpreting the law."
Secret PATRIOT Act? What was Wyden talking about?
The American people aren't allowed to know. But they got a taste of how it could be used to suppress freedom a month later, when the New York Times reported on June 16 that former CIA supervisor Glenn L.

Detailed Description:
At our institution, all patients receiving external beam and/or brachytherapy as part of the treatment of primary cervical cancer receive CT, PET, and MRI simulation scans as standard of care. Brachytherapy patients also receive weekly T1/T2 weighted MR simulation scans as part of their treatment planning.
We propose the use of additional MR sequences to the standard T1/T2 weighted MR simulation scans. The data obtained from these additional sequences will be used for improving tumor delineation and obtaining prognostic information.

16 U.S. Code § 1881 - Registration and information management
prev | next
(a) Standardized fishing vessel registration and information management system
The Secretary shall, in cooperation with the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard is operating, the States, the Councils, and Marine Fisheries Commissions, develop recommendations for implementation of a standardized fishing vessel registration and information management system on a regional basis. The recommendations shall be developed after consultation with interested governmental and nongovernmental parties and shall—
(1) be designed to standardize the requirements of vessel registration and information collection systems required by this chapter, the Marine Mammal Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), and any other marine resource law implemented by the Secretary, and, with the permission of a State, any marine resource law implemented by such State;
(2) integrate information collection programs under existing fishery management plans into a non-duplicative information collection and management system;
(3) avoid duplication of existing State, tribal, or Federal systems and shall utilize, to the maximum extent practicable, information collected from existing systems;
(4) provide for implementation of the system through cooperative agreements with appropriate State, regional, or tribal entities and Marine Fisheries Commissions;
(5) provide for funding (subject to appropriations) to assist appropriate State, regional, or tribal entities and Marine Fisheries Commissions in implementation;
(6) establish standardized units of measurement, nomenclature, and formats for the collection and submission of information;
(8) include all species of fish within the geographic areas of authority of the Councils and all fishing vessels including charter fishing vessels, but excluding recreational fishing vessels;
(9) require United States fish processors, and fish dealers and other first ex-vessel purchasers of fish that are subject to the proposed system, to submit information (other than economic information) which may be necessary to meet the goals of the proposed system; and
(10) include procedures necessary to ensure—
(A) the confidentiality of information collected under this section in accordance with section 1881a (b) of this title; and
(b) Fishing vessel registration
The proposed registration system should, at a minimum, obtain the following information for each fishing vessel—
(1) the name and official number or other identification, together with the name and address of the owner or operator or both;
(2) gross tonnage, vessel capacity, type and quantity of fishing gear, mode of operation (catcher, catcher processor, or other), and such other pertinent information with respect to vessel characteristics as the Secretary may require; and
(c) Fishery information
The proposed information management system should, at a minimum, provide basic fisheries performance information for each fishery, including—
(4) a description of fishing gear used in the fishery, including the amount and type of such gear and the appropriate unit of fishing effort; and
(d) Use of registration
Any registration recommended under this section shall not be considered a permit for the purposes of this chapter, and the Secretary may not propose to revoke, suspend, deny, or impose any other conditions or restrictions on any such registration or the use of such registration under this chapter.
(e) Public comment
Within one year after October 11, 1996, the Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register for a 60-day public comment period a proposal that would provide for implementation of a standardized fishing vessel registration and information collection system that meets the requirements of subsections (a) through (c) of this section. The proposal shall include—
(1) a description of the arrangements of the Secretary for consultation and cooperation with the department in which the Coast Guard is operating, the States, the Councils, Marine Fisheries Commissions, the fishing industry and other interested parties; and
(f) Congressional transmittal
Within 60 days after the end of the comment period and after consideration of comments received under subsection (e) of this section, the Secretary shall transmit to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate and the Committee on Resources of the House of Representatives a recommended proposal for implementation of a national fishing vessel registration system that includes—
(2) a proposed implementation schedule, including a schedule for the proposed cooperative agreements required under subsection (a)(4) of this section; and
(g) Recreational fisheries
(1) Federal program
The Secretary shall establish and implement a regionally based registry program for recreational fishermen in each of the 8 fishery management regions. The program, which shall not require a fee before January 1, 2011, shall provide for—
(A) the registration (including identification and contact information) of individuals who engage in recreational fishing—
(2) State programs
The Secretary shall exempt from registration under the program recreational fishermen and charter fishing vessels licensed, permitted, or registered under the laws of a State if the Secretary determines that information from the State program is suitable for the Secretary's use or is used to assist in completing marine recreational fisheries statistical surveys, or evaluating the effects of proposed conservation and management measures for marine recreational fisheries.
(3) Data collection
(A) Improvement of the marine recreational fishery statistics survey
Within 24 months after January 12, 2007, the Secretary, in consultation with representatives of the recreational fishing industry and experts in statistics, technology, and other appropriate fields, shall establish a program to improve the quality and accuracy of information generated by the Marine Recreational Fishery Statistics Survey, with a goal of achieving acceptable accuracy and utility for each individual fishery.
(B) NRC report recommendations
The program shall take into consideration and, to the extent feasible, implement the recommendations of the National Research Council in its report Review of Recreational Fisheries Survey Methods (2006), including—
(i) redesigning the Survey to improve the effectiveness and appropriateness of sampling and estimation procedures, its applicability to various kinds of management decisions, and its usefulness for social and economic analyses; and
(C) Methodology
Unless the Secretary determines that alternate methods will achieve this goal more efficiently and effectively, the program shall, to the extent possible, include—
(ii) use of surveys that target anglers registered or licensed at the State or Federal level to collect participation and effort data;
(iv) development of a weather corrective factor that can be applied to recreational catch and effort estimates; and
(v) an independent committee composed of recreational fishermen, academics, persons with expertise in stock assessments and survey design, and appropriate personnel from the National Marine Fisheries Service to review the collection estimates, geographic, and other variables related to dockside intercepts and to identify deficiencies in recreational data collection, and possible correction measures.

(b) Adverse action based on information obtained from third parties other than consumer reporting agencies
(1) In general
Whenever credit for personal, family, or household purposes involving a consumer is denied or the charge for such credit is increased either wholly or partly because of information obtained from a person other than a consumer reporting agency bearing upon the consumer's credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living, the user of such information shall, within a reasonable period of time, upon the consumer's written request for the reasons for such adverse action received within sixty days after learning of such adverse action, disclose the nature of the information to the consumer. The user of such information shall clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer his right to make such written request at the time such adverse action is communicated to the consumer.
(2) Duties of person taking certain actions based on information provided by affiliate
(A) Duties, generally
If a person takes an action described in subparagraph (B) with respect to a consumer, based in whole or in part on information described in subparagraph (C), the person shall—

(I) is furnished to the person taking the action by a person related by common ownership or affiliated by common corporate control to the person taking the action; and
(c) Reasonable procedures to assure compliance
No person shall be held liable for any violation of this section if he shows by a preponderance of the evidence that at the time of the alleged violation he maintained reasonable procedures to assure compliance with the provisions of this section.
(d) Duties of users making written credit or insurance solicitations on basis of information contained in consumer files
(1) In general
Any person who uses a consumer report on any consumer in connection with any credit or insurance transaction that is not initiated by the consumer, that is provided to that person under section 1681b (c)(1)(B) of this title, shall provide with each written solicitation made to the consumer regarding the transaction a clear and conspicuous statement that—
(A) information contained in the consumer's consumer report was used in connection with the transaction;
(B) the consumer received the offer of credit or insurance because the consumer satisfied the criteria for credit worthiness or insurability under which the consumer was selected for the offer;
(C) if applicable, the credit or insurance may not be extended if, after the consumer responds to the offer, the consumer does not meet the criteria used to select the consumer for the offer or any applicable criteria bearing on credit worthiness or insurability or does not furnish any required collateral;
(D) the consumer has a right to prohibit information contained in the consumer's file with any consumer reporting agency from being used in connection with any credit or insurance transaction that is not initiated by the consumer; and
(2) Disclosure of address and telephone number; format
A statement under paragraph (1) shall—
(A) include the address and toll-free telephone number of the appropriate notification system established under section 1681b (e) of this title; and
(3) Maintaining criteria on file
A person who makes an offer of credit or insurance to a consumer under a credit or insurance transaction described in paragraph (1) shall maintain on file the criteria used to select the consumer to receive the offer, all criteria bearing on credit worthiness or insurability, as applicable, that are the basis for determining whether or not to extend credit or insurance pursuant to the offer, and any requirement for the furnishing of collateral as a condition of the extension of credit or insurance, until the expiration of the 3-year period beginning on the date on which the offer is made to the consumer.
(4) Authority of Federal agencies regarding unfair or deceptive acts or practices not affected
This section is not intended to affect the authority of any Federal or State agency to enforce a prohibition against unfair or deceptive acts or practices, including the making of false or misleading statements in connection with a credit or insurance transaction that is not initiated by the consumer.
(e) Red flag guidelines and regulations required
(1) Guidelines
The Federal banking agencies, the National Credit Union Administration, the Federal Trade Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and the Securities and Exchange Commission shall jointly, with respect to the entities that are subject to their respective enforcement authority under section 1681s of this title—
(A) establish and maintain guidelines for use by each financial institution and each creditor regarding identity theft with respect to account holders at, or customers of, such entities, and update such guidelines as often as necessary;
(B) prescribe regulations requiring each financial institution and each creditor to establish reasonable policies and procedures for implementing the guidelines established pursuant to subparagraph (A), to identify possible risks to account holders or customers or to the safety and soundness of the institution or customers; and
(C) prescribe regulations applicable to card issuers to ensure that, if a card issuer receives notification of a change of address for an existing account, and within a short period of time (during at least the first 30 days after such notification is received) receives a request for an additional or replacement card for the same account, the card issuer may not issue the additional or replacement card, unless the card issuer, in accordance with reasonable policies and procedures—
(i) notifies the cardholder of the request at the former address of the cardholder and provides to the cardholder a means of promptly reporting incorrect address changes;
(ii) notifies the cardholder of the request by such other means of communication as the cardholder and the card issuer previously agreed to; or
(2) Criteria
(A) In general
In developing the guidelines required by paragraph (1)(A), the agencies described in paragraph (1) shall identify patterns, practices, and specific forms of activity that indicate the possible existence of identity theft.
(B) Inactive accounts
In developing the guidelines required by paragraph (1)(A), the agencies described in paragraph (1) shall consider including reasonable guidelines providing that when a transaction occurs with respect to a credit or deposit account that has been inactive for more than 2 years, the creditor or financial institution shall follow reasonable policies and procedures that provide for notice to be given to a consumer in a manner reasonably designed to reduce the likelihood of identity theft with respect to such account.
(3) Consistency with verification requirements
(4) Definitions
As used in this subsection, the term "creditor"—
(A) means a creditor, as defined in section 1691a of this title, that regularly and in the ordinary course of business—
(i) obtains or uses consumer reports, directly or indirectly, in connection with a credit transaction;
(ii) furnishes information to consumer reporting agencies, as described in section 1681s–2 of this title, in connection with a credit transaction; or
(B) does not include a creditor described in subparagraph (A)(iii) that advances funds on behalf of a person for expenses incidental to a service provided by the creditor to that person; and

(f) Prohibition on sale or transfer of debt caused by identity theft
(1) In general
No person shall sell, transfer for consideration, or place for collection a debt that such person has been notified under section 1681c–2 of this title has resulted from identity theft.
(2) Applicability
The prohibitions of this subsection shall apply to all persons collecting a debt described in paragraph (1) after the date of a notification under paragraph (1).

An effective alternative to absorbing reflections.
The Auralex WaveLens Bamboo Sound Diffusor scatters and redirects acoustical energy and can be an effective alternative to absorbing reflections. The WaveLens can be beneficial in numerous applications: creating a "large sound" in a small room, optimizing absorption panels by redirecting energy so that they are more efficient, or using the acoustical properties of an adjacent space to enhance your listening or recording environment. The WaveLens is sized to drop into a suspended ceiling grid or can be installed using the supplied mechanical fasteners.
Auralex presents the Sustain Bamboo Sound Diffusors, a new line of bamboo diffusors designed to accommodate each room's unique acoustical needs. Improve the overall sound and "liveliness" of your room with the sonic warmth of any of the Sustain Bamboo Sound Diffusors. Acoustic sound diffusion keeps sound waves from grouping by scattering the sound more evenly throughout the room. Make your room sound larger and more live by adding diffusion to your space!
Create a larger sound in your room.
Bamboo WaveLens 23.75"x23.75"x3" (2 pack)

It was a little much when President Barack Obama said that he was "offended" by the suggestion that his administration would try to deceive the public about what happened in Benghazi. What has this man not deceived the public about?
Remember his pledge to cut the deficit in half in his first term in office? This was followed by the first trillion dollar deficit ever, under any President of the United States — followed by trillion dollar deficits in every year of the Obama administration.
Remember his pledge to have a "transparent" government that would post its legislative proposals on the Internet several days before Congress was to vote on them, so that everybody would know what was happening? This was followed by an ObamaCare bill so huge and passed so fast that even members of Congress did not have time to read it.
Remember his claims that previous administrations had arrogantly interfered in the internal affairs of other nations — and then his demands that Israel stop building settlements and give away land outside its 1967 borders, as a precondition to peace talks with the Palestinians, on whom there were no preconditions?
As for what happened in Libya, the Obama administration says that there is an "investigation" under way. An "on-going investigation" sounds so much better than "stonewalling" to get past election day. But you can bet the rent money that this "investigation" will not be completed before election day. And whatever the investigation says after the election will be irrelevant.

Jones and Simonon in Converse-sation
Good evening from a sun-drenched and very tired Clash Blog. How is your week playing out? Where on earth is that Malaysian Air flight…that's turning into not only a tragedy but becoming increasingly strange isn't it.
Two short videos for you tonight (thanks Gil W) that feature an extended interview with Mick, Paul and Diplo about the song 'Hero' which was released this week for the Converse project "Three Artists, One Song". I've mentioned the C word again and I promise that will be the last time, covering my legalities just in case. Before talking about the song, which I'll do more of later this week, I'd actually recommend watching the interview first as it provides some valuable background to the project.
What's immediately interesting is that Frank Ocean seemed to have the final say on which piece of music was used as he was to provide the vocals. Fair enough I suppose but more interesting is that they worked on ideas/and the music for (separately from Ocean) about five tracks in total, wouldn't it be great to hear what will probably never see the light of day? Also great to hear is just how much respect Diplo and the host hold for Mick and Paul which is clear throughout the interview. You'll also learn more about the abominable snowman if you listen all the way through.
Sway interviews Paul, Mick and Diplo about 'Hero' pt. 1
The interview is worth a watch if only to see Mick and Paul interacting with an artist from a very different field, not a shock to see that it's Mick who adds humour and Paul some seriousness to the dialogue. I've been reliably informed that the other music worked upon won't be released, nor does it suggest the seeds of a new venture. Which brings us right back to the 'What next for Mick' lottery.
Sway interviews Paul, Mick and Diplo about 'Hero' pt. 2
The song itself can be heard below and if you haven't heard it you might be disappointed at the apparent lack of Simonon's bass guitar until quite late in the song. I think it's in the mix but you'll need to scavenge a bit for it. I'll need to listen a few more times but initially it sounds to me like something that could have been recorded and shelved during sessions for The Good, The Bad and The Queen – especially the opening moments. Crucially in my opinion the choir kicks in at the exact moment when the song is gaining some steam and that detracts rather than enhances it.
What did you think of it? I'd be keen to know. More soon – take good care.

Boehringer Ingelheim is firing on all cylinders, with six products planned to launch over the next two years, the global roll-out of Pradaxa under way and scarcely a patent expiration in sight. The company has a host of oncology and hepatitis C virus treatments in
late-stage clinical trials (BI201335/BI207127), and its partnership with Lilly is already bearing fruit on the diabetes front, with Jentadueto having followed Tradjenta to market. The firm has just completed a $350-million expansion in the US, which accounts for 45% of sales. Blood thinner Pradaxa now must fend off competition from J&J/Bayer Xarelto, and maybe soon Pfizer/BMS drug Eliquis (apixaban).

Disability Studies Undergraduate Minor is an interdisciplinary program at Shippensburg University that explores the meaning and impact of disability across time, place, and group.
This program offers a cutting-edge, interdisciplinary body of knowledge and skills and, in particular, raises awareness of disability issues, knowledge of disability rights and laws, and best practices towards creating inclusive and accessible environments and communities. The knowledge and skills gained will enhance their course of major study, prepare students for disability-related careers and advanced study in disability studies, and will deepen their understanding of the multicultural fabric of contemporary society. The minor requires 18 credits of coursework, including two required classes (6 credits) and 4 interdisciplinary electives (12 credits). Because the coursework is flexible and provides opportunities in all three colleges, students can gear the minor towards their own interests and career paths.
DS100 Introduction to Disability Studies assumes no prior knowledge of disability studies, and offers a terrific overview of disability studies. It builds students' knowledge of the history of disability, current successes and challenges experienced by people with disabilities, and background in key concepts like accessibility and inclusion. It is a great place to start. The
Disability Studies Minor office can tell you more about these opportunities.
The Disability Studies Minor requires a minimum of 18 credits. Students take two core courses:
Students also choose four elective courses from the following list:
Note: To complete the Disability Studies Minor, students will take the two core courses (DS100 and DS400) and four of the approved electives. At least 50 percent of the courses must be taken at Shippensburg University. Students must take electives from at least two disciplines. Permission from the director of Disability Studies must be obtained to take more than two classes from one discipline.
Anyone interested in disability, whether that interest is personal, academic or to pursue a disability-related career, should consider enrolling in the Disability Studies program.
There are a growing number of disability-specific careers, such as disability law, mental health counseling, and social service program delivery and management. More broadly, disability is an increasingly important aspect of many careers. Jobs related to human resources, education, social work, psychology, social policy, urban planning, software development, criminal justice and more must take into account the diversity of the populations that they serve and be prepared to consider issues of accommodations, inclusion, and accessibility. Students with an interdisciplinary background in disability studies will have a crucial skill set desired by employers. Minors are prepared to work with a wide variety of people and build skills in creating inclusive, accessible settings. Graduates find career opportunities in psychology, social service delivery and social work, social policy, counseling, health fields, human resources, education, politics, criminology, recreation management, and more.
There are also many opportunities to get involved on campus with
student organizations that foster disability awareness and inclusion. All students are welcome to participate.
