Intel and Nokia to Stir Up Mobile Market
Market research firm Gartner sees Intel's mobile processor platform as a serious contender with Qualcomm and Texas Instruments due to its recent collaboration with Nokia.
Nokia and Intel are seeking a long-term partnership to develop new chipsets and device architectures for computers and mobile phones to produce a true mobile platform, as confirmed by a recent Intel press release. The partners hope to integrate mobile broadband and the widespread Internet connectivity to go beyond what is currently available for smart phones, netbooks and laptops. The partners are thereby expressing their commitment to mobile Linux software. Intel also wants to acquire a license for Nokia's HSPA/3G modem to use in future devices.
Gartner sees Intel's new venture as "a competitive threat to companies like Texas Instruments and Qualcomm." The High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) technology (known as Mobile Broadband with a nominal 7-MBits/second downlink) should give Intel's motherboards a breath of fresh air. The Gartner analysts even see a threat to proprietary vendors like Apple when heavy hitters like Intel and Nokia start adopting open standards and technologies.
The analysts advise both partners to combine their Moblin and Maemo efforts. Gartner VP Nick Jones told Linux Magazine that he hasn't seen Moblin or Maemo as serious market players so far. Android could, he says, profit better instead by running on Intel's Nokia-strengthened chips. The partnership nevertheless gives Intel and Nokia the chance to address application developers and also consumers by providing a broader palette of hardware.
According to the partner firms, Intel's Moblin and Nokia's Maemo should profit separately from their open source collaboration. They want to invest their Linux-based platform work in mobile broadband projects such as oFono.org and the ConnMan.net connection manager, but also in Mozilla, X-Org and D-Bus.

A woman said she was afraid to tell anyone Charles J. Kirkpatrick was raping and sexually assaulting her because Kirkpatrick, a truck driver, threatened to take her on the road and leave her in "the middle of nowhere."
She said Kirkpatrick also would "pay me off" with clothes, toys and pageant entries.
The woman, 26, provided the only testimony Wednesday during Kirkpatrick's preliminary hearing on 12 criminal charges, including rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, corruption of minors and aggravated indecent assault.
Erie 5th Ward District Judge Joseph Lefaiver held Kirkpatrick, 65, for trial on all of the charges. Kirkpatrick remains in the Erie County Prison on $100,000 bond in the case.
Erie police accused Kirkpatrick of raping and assaulting the girl in Harborcreek Township and Erie. The woman testified that the incidents began when she was 10 and continued until she was 15.
The woman said under cross-examination by Erie County Assistant Public Defender Stephen Lagner that she tried to tell a relative about what was happening but the relative wouldn't listen to her.
Kirkpatrick also faces trial in another case.

the LAN. Similarly, in an 802.11 wireless LAN, possession of the shared key used by WEP lets you see all traffic on the WLAN. Neither medium prevents other stations on the same LAN from seeing the traffic your station sends and receives. WEP uses encryption as a "replacement" for the physical access control inherent in wired LANs, since wireless LAN traffic can be received by any station in proximity to the transmitter. Recent augmentations to WEP, like the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) defined by IEEE 802.11i, do a better job of accomplishing this objective than the original 802.11:1999 WEP standard did.

Deluxe Bad Value
I have just returned from a visit to the Jolly Hotel President in Milan and was disgusted at the paucitity of the facilities offered in the Deluxe room allocated to us. I have stayed in many other executive rooms and the room allocated to us compared exceptionally poorly for size and facilities, not to mention that it did not even have many of facilities that were advertised. The website claims that rooms have tea/coffee making facilities, bathrobes and slippers; none of which were present in our room.
Having booked a deluxe double room, we were initially given a twin room and I was surprised at how small it was. When we went back to reception to get the room changed thinking that they had made a mistake in allocating the floor, we were given the room next door. However when we turned back the sheets we found that this was not infact a double but two twins made up as a double. We only put up with this because it was gone midnight and we were too weary to pursue the matter.
When we came to leave, we asked about the best way to get to Linate airport and we were advised that it was taxi which was surprising because I was sure that they had advertised a bus and sure enough upon checking the website on our return, it does advertise a free bus to the airport.
I can only conclude that the hotel website is a misrepresentation.
Spent 3 nights at the Jolly Hotel President in Milan, Italy 3/4-3/7. This is a business class hotel with all the amenities. The rooms were very nice and upscale. The bathrooms were marble with tub and bidet etc. I had a superior single room and it was huge. THe breakfast buffet was superb. Hot and cold foods, pastries, etc. The service was first class and staff behind the desk were friendly and helpful. I had room 433 and they are apparently working on that side of the building so beware that you will hear loud hammering during the day, which we were not advised of. I would certainly stay here again, but make sure they do not put you near the renovation/work area. The duomo is approximately 2 blocks away, along with the metro station. The Last supper is quite far away, although on the map it looks close. I would defintely recommend using the metro to reach it. The front of the Duomo is under restoration so it is boarded up which was a real disappointment. THe area appeared safe in the evening. Taxi to and from central station and Cardonna station were around 7-8 Euro's.
Jolly good hotel!
Great location! The outside of the hotel isn't very glamorous and the decor inside is fairly dated but it is very clean with large rooms and a great location, only a 5 minute walk from the Duomo, which we could actually see from our room! Staff were helpful & friendly and the continental breakfast was great (and served to 10.30am which is always a bonus!).
Great service
This hotel has not been rated in some time, so I was skeptical at best. Upon arrival, our nonsmoking rooms were not ready, so they held our luggage and told us of a great lunch place. It was truly wonderful food and not to expensive. Once we returned, our rooms were ready and were really wonderful. Average size, but for the 149 Euro a night incl breakfast, this was a steal. Close to the Duomo, and a 10 Euro cab ride to the train station. The concierge confirmed our flights home for us, arranged our cab to the airport, and help us with timing for everything. Overall, I would recommend this hotel if you want to be near shopping and the Duomo. Only downside was the airconditioning. Either there was none, or they turn it off in Fall/winter. Not sure, but unseasonable warm for October.
Great breakfast with eggs and the basic Italian buffets.
Fun in Milan
We stayed at Jolly Hotel President in Milan in August 2004. We paid 129 Euro a night and weren't asked for a credit card number when made a reservation only 2 days in advance. The hotel is very conveniently located in Downtown Milan. It's close to Duomo and stores in famous Montenapoleone area (5-min walk). It's only 10 min or 10 euros taxi ride away from Central or Cardoza train station, Last Supper and Canal. The staff is very helpful, nice and speaks English. We got late checkout without any problems and were provided with maps, phone numbers, etc.
Being Smart in Milan
Milan, as lovely as it is, can be a bit grimmy also- just like New York. However, after trying over a dozen hotels we stumbled upon Jolly because the Ibis, next door, hadn't any vacancies. It was our lucky night because I have never seen an Ibis look this great, for that matter most hotels don't look this great. Briefly, hardwood floors; elegant fixtures; spacious rooms; clean and stately hallways; Art Deco furniture; etc. It was quite nice. A full American style breakfast is included. Checkout is at 2:00 so you can stay out late and not be chased away in the morning. We paid 80 Euro a night and we had our Giant Schnauzer, which was too big for the Hilton- the Hilton is three times the cost and not twice as good. The service was professional. It is indeed our place to stay on any visit to Milan. Good luck.
It was great
Ive visited Miloano last summer and stayed at Jolly hotels , the location was excellent also the service was great and the rooms were clean
Excelllent Location
Myself and my girlfriend visited the Jolly President Hotel in June 03 and it was fantastic. The location was spot on - just a stroll from the Duomo and even though it's quiet there's a taxi's and busses from right outside. Nice clean comfortable & air conditioned rooms, pleasant professional staff and a decent breakfast. We even had a view of the Duomo from our room. Only drawback was 2 singles instead of a double - Great place.

Three years after Coal Dock Park opened, Port Washington officials are beginning to take a new look at the park with an eye toward future improvements.
About 35 people gathered at City Hall last week to begin the process, brainstorming about amenities and programs that could build on what is already there.
Their ideas ranged from the practical — bathrooms and increased parking — to the more whimsical — docking a retired coal dock boat there.
Mayor Tom Mlada said the meeting was intended to start a renewed planning process for the park.
"We need to take the initial vision for the park and build on that," he said. "There's so much potential there. Let's start dreaming."
After all, dreaming is how the park got started.
The city converted the 13-acre northern portion of the former coal dock, which many considered an eyesore, into a gem of a park and the 7-acre south dock into a bird sanctuary.
That first vision for the park, approved in 2009, was a 10-year plan that included everything from walking trails to a community center, themed interactive garden area, performance space, observation tower, deep-water docks and a floating pier.
When the park opened in 2013, the city had placed much of the basic infrastructure there, Mlada said.
"I think the thought back then was, let's live with it for a couple years and then see what's needed," he said. "We wanted to try and get a sense of how it would be used.
"Now we have to look at it and decide, where do we go from here."
There is still some infrastructure that needs to be completed, Mlada said, including the railing along the promenade and electrical systems to support festivals and events.
But now, he said, is the time to look forward and plan again for the future.
"That was a 2020 plan. We're halfway there," Mlada said.
"Do you have unique family gathering areas? Do you have a bandshell? Do you have a floating pier? How do you connect the park to downtown?
"This is the time to start going down the path."
The city needs to consider such things as whether a building will be constructed at the park, Mlada said, noting that could be done in partnership with entities such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which is considering creation of a shipwreck sanctuary between Port Washington and Two Rivers, Discovery World or Concordia University.
"The hope had been the park would become a four-season destination," Mlada noted. "The reality is, then you would need a building."
A bridge connecting Coal Dock Park with downtown was a consideration when the park opened, and it remained so for the group assembled last week.
But that's an expensive project, one the city may not be able to afford for the time being, Mlada said.
"The bridge is obviously a nice idea," he said. "From a cost standpoint, it might not be practical.
"I understand it feels like a little bit of a walk-around (to get from the park to downtown). But I do think there are cost effective ways to get the message across with signage."
Mlada said he plans to take ideas proposed by the group last week to the Coal Dock Committee in the next month or so.
"I think it could bring some new energy to the group," he said, noting the committee has not met in a year or more.

Generating Evidence for Genomic Diagnostic Test Developmentby The National Academy of Sciences
Ten years after the sequencing of the human genome, scientists have developed genetic tests that can predict a person's response to certain drugs, estimate the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, and make other predictions based on known links between genes and diseases. However, genetic tests have yet to become a routine part of medical care, in part because there is not enough evidence to show they help improve patients' health. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) held a workshop to explore how researchers can gather better evidence more efficiently on the clinical utility of genetic tests. Generating Evidence for Genomic Diagnostic Test Development compares the evidence that is required for decisions regarding clearance, use, and reimbursement, to the evidence that is currently generated. The report also addresses innovative and efficient ways to generate high-quality evidence, as well as barriers to generating this evidence. Generating Evidence for Genomic Diagnostic Test Development contains information that will be of great value to regulators and policymakers, payers, health-care providers, researchers, funders, and evidence-based review groups.
Global Change and Extreme Hydrology: Testing Conventional Wisdomby The National Academy of Sciences
Climate theory dictates that core elements of the climate system, including precipitation, evapotranspiration, and reservoirs of atmospheric and soil moisture, should change as the climate warms, both in their means and extremes. A major challenge that faces the climate and hydrologic science communities is understanding the nature of these ongoing changes in climate and hydrology and the apparent anomalies that exist in reconciling their extreme manifestations. The National Research Council (NRC) Committee on Hydrologic Science (COHS) held a workshop on January 5-6, 2010, that examined how climate warming translates into hydrologic extremes like floods and droughts. The workshop brought together three groups of experts. The first two groups consisted of atmospheric scientists and hydrologists focused on the scientific underpinnings and empirical evidence linking climate variability to hydrologic extremes. The third group consisted of water managers and decision-makers charged with the design and operation of water systems that in the future must be made resilient in light of a changing climate and an environment of hydrologic extremes. Global Change and Extreme Hydrologysummarizes the proceedings of this workshop. This report presents an overview of the current state of the science in terms of climate change and extreme hydrologic events. It examines the "conventional wisdom" that climate change will "accelerate" the hydrologic cycle, fuel more evaporation, and generate more precipitation, based on an increased capacity of a warmer atmosphere to hold more water vapor. The report also includes descriptions of the changes in frequency and severity of extremes, the ability (or inability) to model these changes, and the problem of communicating the best science to water resources practitioners in useful forums.
Glutamate-Related Biomarkers in Drug Development for Disorders of the Nervous System: Workshop Summaryby The National Academy of Sciences
Glutamate is the most pervasive neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS). Despite this fact, no validated biological markers, or biomarkers, currently exist for measuring glutamate pathology in CNS disorders or injuries. Glutamate dysfunction has been associated with an extensive range of nervous system diseases and disorders. Problems with how the neurotransmitter glutamate functions in the brain have been linked to a wide variety of disorders, including schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, substance abuse, and traumatic brain injury. These conditions are widespread, affecting a large portion of the United States population, and remain difficult to treat. Efforts to understand, treat, and prevent glutamate-related disorders can be aided by the identification of valid biomarkers. The Institute of Medicine's Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders held a workshop on June 21-22, 2010, to explore ways to accelerate the development, validation, and implementation of such biomarkers. Glutamate-Related Biomarkers in Drug Development for Disorders of the Nervous System: Workshop Summaryinvestigates promising current and emerging technologies, and outlines strategies to procure resources and tools to advance drug development for associated nervous system disorders. Moreover, this report highlights presentations by expert panelists, and the open panel discussions that occurred during the workshop.

Health Literacy Implications for Health Care Reform: Workshop Summaryby The National Academy of Sciences
Health literacy is the degree to which one can understand and make decisions based on health information. Nearly 90 million adults in the United States have limited health literacy. While poor health literacy spans all demographics, rates of low health literacy are disproportionately higher among those with lower socioeconomic status, limited education, or limited English proficiency, as well as among the elderly and individuals with mental or physical disabilities. Studies have shown that there is a correlation between low health literacy and poor health outcomes. In 2010, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act designed to extend access to health care coverage to millions of Americans who have been previously uninsured. Many of the newly eligible individuals who should benefit most from the ACA, however, are least prepared to realize those benefits as a result of low health literacy. They will face significant challenges understanding what coverage they are eligible for under the ACA, making informed choices about the best options for themselves and their families, and completing the enrollment process. Health Literacy Implications for Health Care Reformexplores opportunities to advance health literacy in association with the implementation of health care reform. The report focuses on building partnerships to advance the field of health literacy by translating research findings into practical strategies for implementation, and on educating the public, press, and policymakers regarding issues of health literacy.

Implementing a National Cancer Clinical Trials System for the 21st Century: Workshop Summaryby The National Academy of Sciences
Clinical trials enable scientific discoveries to advance patient care, in addition to informing and guiding subsequent research. The National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) Clinical Trials Cooperative Group Program works to advance patient care and research. The Cooperative Group Program has been instrumental in establishing the standards for cancer patient care and clinical research methods. Despite broad participation in the program, financial strain and procedural burdens limit the ability of the Cooperative Group Program to undertake medical practice-changing clinical research. Thus, the Institute of Medicine's (IOM's) National Cancer Policy Forum and the American Society of Clinical Oncology held a workshop on March 21, 2011 to follow up on the 2010 IOM report, A National Clinical Trials System for the 21st Century: Reinvigorating the NCI Cooperative Group Program, which made recommendations to strengthen the NCI Cooperative Group Program. In keeping with the established commitment to excellence Implementing a National Cancer Clinical Trials System for the 21st Centuryoutlines how to improve the current system by incorporating innovative science and trial design into cancer clinical trials. It also examines the impact of increasing quality in regards to speed, efficiency, design, launch, and conduct, as well as improving prioritization, and incentivized participation.
Improving Health In The United Statesby The National Academy of Sciences
Despite large expenditures on healthcare and medical technology, the United States still ranks 32nd in the world for life expectancy. The missing piece is the impact of factors such as housing quality, exposure to pollutants, food quality, and the lack of exercise--which leads to high obesity rates. Prepared by the Committee on Health Impact Assessment, this detailed work looks at integrating the possible effects on health into factors such as decisions over land use and provision of transportation options.

Improving Health Literacy Within a State: Workshop Summaryby The National Academy of Sciences
Health literacy is the degree to which individuals can obtain, process, and understand the basic health information and services they need to make appropriate health decisions. According to Health Literacy: A Prescription to End Confusion(IOM, 2004), nearly half of all American adults--90 million people--have inadequate health literacy to navigate the healthcare system. To address issues raised in that report, the Institute of Medicine convened the Roundtable on Health Literacy, which brings together leaders from the federal government, foundations, health plans, associations, and private companies to discuss challenges facing health literacy practice and research and to identify approaches to promote health literacy in both the public and private sectors. On November 30, 2010, the roundtable cosponsored a workshop with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Anderson School of Management in Los Angeles. Improving Health Literacy Within a Stateserves as a summary of what occurred at the workshop. The workshop focused on understanding what works to improve health literacy across a state, including how various stakeholders have a role in improving health literacy. The focus of the workshop was on presentations and discussions that address (1) the clinical impacts of health literacy improvement approaches; (2) economic outcomes of health literacy implementation; and (3) how various stakeholders can affect health literacy.

Incorporating Occupational Information in Electronic Health Records: Letter Reportby The National Academy of Sciences
Each year in the United States, more than 4,000 occupational fatalities and more than 3 million occupational injuries occur along with more than 160,000 cases of occupational illnesses. Incorporating patients' occupational information into electronic health records (EHRs) could lead to more informed clinical diagnosis and treatment plans as well as more effective policies, interventions, and prevention strategies to improve the overall health of the working population. At the request of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the IOM appointed a committee to examine the rationale and feasibility of incorporating occupational information in patients' EHRs. The IOM concluded that three data elements - occupation, industry, and work-relatedness - were ready for immediate focus, and made recommendations on moving forward efforts to incorporate these elements into EHRs.
Increasing National Resilience to Hazards and Disasters: The Perspective from the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Mississippi: Summary of a Workshopby The National Academy of Sciences
Natural disasters are having an increasing effect on the lives of people in the United States and throughout the world. Every decade, property damage caused by natural disasters and hazards doubles or triples in the United States. More than half of the U. S. population lives within 50 miles of a coast, and all Americans are at risk from such hazards as fires, earthquakes, floods, and wind. The year 2010 saw 950 natural catastrophes around the world--the second highest annual total ever--with overall losses estimated at $130 billion. The increasing impact of natural disasters and hazards points to increasing importance of resilience, the ability to prepare and plan for, absorb, recover from, or more successfully adapt to actual or potential adverse events, at the individual , local, state, national, and global levels. Assessing National Resilience to Hazards and Disastersreviews the effects of Hurricane Katrina and other natural and human-induced disasters on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Mississippi and to learn more about the resilience of those areas to future disasters. Topics explored in the workshop range from insurance, building codes, and critical infrastructure to private-sector issues, public health, nongovernmental organizations and governance. This workshop summary provides a rich foundation of information to help increase the nation's resilience through actionable recommendations and guidance on the best approaches to reduce adverse impacts from hazards and disasters.
An Interim Report on NASA's Draft Space Technology Roadmapsby The National Academy of Sciences
For the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to achieve many of its space science and exploration goals over the next several decades, dramatic advances in space technology will be necessary. NASA has developed a set of 14 draft roadmaps to guide the development of such technologies under the leadership of the NASA Office of the Chief Technologist (OCT). Each roadmap focuses on a particular technology area. OCT requested that the National Research Council conduct a study to review the draft roadmaps, gather and assess relevant community input, and make recommendations and suggest priorities to inform NASA's decisions as it finalizes its roadmaps. The success of OCT's technology development program is essential, because technological breakthroughs have long been the foundation of NASA's successes, from its earliest days, to the Apollo program, to a vast array of space science missions and the International Space Station. An Interim Report of NASA's Technology Roadmapidentifies some gaps in the technologies included in the individual roadmaps. The report suggests that the effectiveness of the NASA space technology program can be enhanced by employing proven management practices and principles including increasing program stability, addressing facility issues, and supporting adequate flight tests of new technologies. This interim report provides several additional observations that will be expanded on in the final report to be released in 2012.
Legal Strategies in Childhood Obesity Preventionby The National Academy of Sciences
Since 1980, childhood obesity rates have more than tripled in the United States. Recent data show that almost one-third of children over 2 years of age are already overweight or obese. While the prevalence of childhood obesity appears to have plateaued in recent years, the magnitude of the problem remains unsustainably high and represents an enormous public health concern. All options for addressing the childhood obesity epidemic must therefore be explored. In the United States, legal approaches have successfully reduced other threats to public health, such as the lack of passive restraints in automobiles and the use of tobacco. The question then arises of whether laws, regulations, and litigation can likewise be used to change practices and policies that contribute to obesity. On October 21, 2010, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) held a workshop to bring together stakeholders to discuss the current and future legal strategies aimed at combating childhood obesity. Legal Strategies in Childhood Obesity Preventionsummarizes the proceedings of that workshop. The report examines the challenges involved in implementing public health initiatives by using legal strategies to elicit change. It also discusses circumstances in which legal strategies are needed and effective. This workshop was created only to explore the boundaries of potential legal approaches to address childhood obesity, and therefore, does not contain recommendations for the use of such approaches.
Leveraging Food Technology for Obesity Prevention and Reduction Effort: Workshop Summaryby The National Academy of Sciences
Obesity is a major public health challenge. More than one-third of the U. S. adult population is considered obese, a figure that has more than doubled since the mid-1970s. Among children, obesity rates have more than tripled over the same period. Not only is obesity associated with numerous medical complications, but it incurs significant economic cost. At its simplest, obesity is a result of an energy imbalance, with obese (and overweight) people consuming more energy (calories) than they are expending. During the last 10-20 years, behavioral scientists have made significant progress toward building an evidence base for understanding what drives energy imbalance in overweight and obese individuals. Meanwhile, food scientists have been tapping into this growing evidence base to improve existing technologies and create new technologies that can be applied to alter the food supply in ways that reduce the obesity burden on the American population. Leveraging Food Technology for Obesity Prevention and Reduction Effort examines the complexity of human eating behavior and explores ways in which the food industry can continue to leverage modern food processing technologies to influence energy intake. The report also examines the opportunities and challenges of altering the food supply--both at home and outside the home--and outlines lessons learned, best practices, and next steps.
Limiting Future Collision Risk to Spacecraftby The National Academy of Sciences
Derelict satellites, equipment and other debris orbiting Earth (aka space junk) have been accumulating for many decades and could damage or even possibly destroy satellites and human spacecraft if they collide. During the past 50 years, various National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) communities have contributed significantly to maturing meteoroid and orbital debris (MMOD) programs to their current state. Satellites have been redesigned to protect critical components from MMOD damage by moving critical components from exterior surfaces to deep inside a satellite's structure. Orbits are monitored and altered to minimize the risk of collision with tracked orbital debris. MMOD shielding added to the International Space Station (ISS) protects critical components and astronauts from potentially catastrophic damage that might result from smaller, untracked debris and meteoroid impacts. Limiting Future Collision Risk to Spacecraft: An Assessment of NASA's Meteoroid and Orbital Debris Programexamines NASA's efforts to understand the meteoroid and orbital debris environment, identifies what NASA is and is not doing to mitigate the risks posed by this threat, and makes recommendations as to how they can improve their programs. While the report identified many positive aspects of NASA's MMOD programs and efforts including responsible use of resources, it recommends that the agency develop a formal strategic plan that provides the basis for prioritizing the allocation of funds and effort over various MMOD program needs. Other necessary steps include improvements in long-term modeling, better measurements, more regular updates of the debris environmental models, and other actions to better characterize the long-term evolution of the debris environment.
Long-Term Health Congequences of Exposure to Burn Pits in Iraq and Afghanistanby The National Academy of Sciences
Many veterans returning from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have health problems they believe are related to their exposure to the smoke from the burning of waste in open-air "burn pits" on military bases. Particular controversy surrounds the burn pit used to dispose of solid waste at Joint Base Balad in Iraq, which burned up to 200 tons of waste per day in 2007. The Department of Veterans Affairs asked the IOM to form a committee to determine the long-term health effects from exposure to these burn pits. Insufficient evidence prevented the IOM committee from developing firm conclusions. This report, there for, recommends that, along with more efficient data-gathering methods, a study be conducted that would evaluate the health status of service members from their time of deployment over many years to determine their incidence of chronic diseases.
Measuring the Impacts of Federal Investments in Research: A Workshop Summaryby The National Academy of Sciences
The enactment of the America COMPETES Act in 2006 (and its reauthorization in 2010), the increase in research expenditures under the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), and President Obama's general emphasis on the contribution of science and technology to economic growth have all heightened interest in the role of scientific and engineering research in creating jobs, generating innovative technologies, spawning new industries, improving health, and producing other economic and societal benefits. Along with this interest has come a renewed emphasis on a question that has been asked for decades: Can the impacts and practical benefits of research to society be measured either quantitatively or qualitatively? On April 18-19, 2011, the Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy (STEP) and the Committee on Science, Engineering and Public Policy (COSEPUP) of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine, held a workshop to examine this question. The workshop sought to assemble the range of work that has been done in measuring research outcomes and to provide a forum to discuss its method. The workshop was motivated by a 2009 letter from Congressman Rush Holt (D-New Jersey). He asked the National Academies to look into a variety of complex and interconnected issues, such as the short-term and long-term economic and non-economic impact of federal research funding, factors that determine whether federally funded research discoveries result in economic benefits, and quantification of the impacts of research on national security, the environment, health, education, public welfare, and decision making. Measuring the Impacts of Federal Investments in Researchprovides the key observations and suggestions made by the speakers at the workshop and during the discussions that followed the formal presentations.
Medical Devices and the Public's Health: The FDA 510(k) Clearance Process at 35 Yearsby The National Academy of Sciences
Medical devices that are deemed to have a moderate risk to patients generally cannot go on the market until they are cleared through the FDA 510(k) process. In recent years, individuals and organizations have expressed concern that the 510(k) process is neither making safe and effective devices available to patients nor promoting innovation in the medical-device industry. Several high-profile mass-media reports and consumer-protection groups have profiled recognized or potential problems with medical devices cleared through the 510(k) clearance process. The medical-device industry and some patients have asserted that the process has become too burdensome and is delaying or stalling the entry of important new medical devices to the market. At the request of the FDA, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) examined the 510(k) process. Medical Devices and the Public's Healthexamines the current 510(k) clearance process and whether it optimally protects patients and promotes innovation in support of public health. It also identifies legislative, regulatory, or administrative changes that will achieve the goals of the 510(k) clearance process. Medical Devices and the Public's Healthrecommends that the U. S. Food and Drug Administration gather the information needed to develop a new regulatory framework to replace the 35-year-old 510(k) clearance process for medical devices. According to the report, the FDA's finite resources are best invested in developing an integrated premarket and postmarket regulatory framework.

Inquirer Editorial: Progress in obesity battle doesn't mean war is over
September 15, 2012
First, the good news on childhood obesity in Philadelphia: Rates among schoolchildren have fallen significantly over the past four years. Between 2006 and 2010, the rate dropped nearly 5 percent, while national obesity rates remained unchanged, according to a new study coauthored by city Health Commissioner Donald Schwarz. Researchers are reluctant to give too much credit for the decline to recent efforts by the city to combat obesity. But the findings are encouraging in the battle against the bulge.
Childhood obesity continues modest decline in Phila.
August 23, 2015
By Don Sapatkin, Inquirer Staff Writer
Three years ago, with childhood obesity on what seemed to be a scary rise toward infinity, Philadelphia was among the first cities to report a short-term drop. With that tentative finding replicated, more or less, around the country, a new Philadelphia study has found longer-term evidence of a reversal in the 30-year trend. Considering that obesity rates tripled over that period, the recent changes are small and the burden remains large: 20.3 percent of city public school students were obese in 2012-13, down from 21.7 percent in 2006-07.
Study finds childhood obesity may be declining
June 28, 2010
By Don Sapatkin, Inquirer Staff Writer
Tantalizing evidence that America's epidemic of childhood obesity might be starting to subside was presented Sunday by researchers who also found that the trend could be speeded up through school programs. Several recent studies reported that rates of overweight and obese children plateaued after rising rapidly since 1980. But this is the first major study to detect a decline - of 4 percent - and it was in a national sample dominated by low-income blacks and Hispanics, the groups at highest risk.
Kimberly Garrison: Fight childhood obesity with simple food tips
June 24, 2010
A FEW WEEKS ago, I did a health and wellness presentation to a group of concerned parents and their children at the Christian Stronghold Baptist Church in West Philadelphia. Many of the participants were surprised about what they didn't know about general health and fitness and even more surprised when it came to facts about children's health. Parents were shocked when I said many American teens have arteries so clogged they could suffer a heart attack. "Are you serious?" one parent asked.
Lousy school lunches fuel childhood obesity Health initiatives overlook subpar cafeteria offerings.
May 3, 2010
By Neal Barnard
More exercise, less soda. This has been a mantra among those battling childhood obesity, and many school health initiatives have taken it up. But why? While exercise is important for health, studies show the childhood obesity epidemic has little to do with lack of physical activity. And while sodas, candy bars, and other typical vending-machine items clearly aren't health foods, the majority of children don't buy food from vending machines on any given day. However, 31 million American children do eat in school cafeterias, and many of them are from the poor households that are most likely to suffer from obesity and obesity-related illnesses.
A family focus on childhood obesity A conference at Temple was aimed at teaching parents to help children develop healthy habits.
April 22, 2007
By Walter F. Naedele INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Kris Sumey went to Temple University's Liacouras Center yesterday because, she said, "My whole family is overweight. " Sylvaneta Lewis' motivation was her 8-year-old daughter, who "is overweight for her age. " The two mothers were among 550 people registered for a conference run by Shaping America's Youth (SAY), a nonprofit group based in Portland, Ore., aimed at educating parents and other caregivers about childhood obesity. For years the medical community has urged overweight Americans to eat less, eat healthy and exercise.
Tough words for childhood obesity Let's cut mealymouthed language and loosen marketing's grip on kids' hearts, minds - mouths.
August 11, 2006
By Amy B. Jordan
In 1946, George Orwell wrote a rant on the "silly words and expressions" he was observing in the world around him. He worried that the language was being used, not as an instrument for expression, but as a tool for "concealing and preventing thought. " He could have been writing about today's cultural politics of weight and food. Right now, a committee of experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Medical Association and others is considering changes to the language used to describe children with weight problems.
Annette John-Hall: Parents must be in charge on childhood obesity
April 5, 2011
By Annette John-Hall, Inquirer Columnist
Philly celebrated March Madness by applying a full-court press on childhood obesity last month. Just last week, officials cut the ribbon on a gleaming, 71,000-square-foot ShopRite in Hunting Park West, one of those parched "food desert" communities in North Philly where there's a corner store at every intersection but no supermarket to be found. To add to the bounty, the U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded Temple's Center for Obesity Research and Education (CORE) a five-year, $3.7 million grant to study the link between what parents feed their children and why kids get fat. For the first time, CORE researchers will be able to put everything they've studied about children's eating behavior over the last decade into a nutrition education program that will teach parents how to healthily feed their children.
Schools must do their part in fighting childhood obesity There is help available. Sometimes it takes just one person to spur changes.
November 2, 2004
By Beth Trapani
Pennsylvania schools have a terrific opportunity to confront one of our nation's most pervasive public health problems: childhood obesity. One in three American kids is overweight, and national health experts such as former U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher agree that the associated health problems are threatening to make this generation of children the first in our history who will not outlive their parents. So why should schools, already overburdened with government mandates and high-stakes testing, be charged with addressing the problem?
A Phila. pediatrician writes of the sickening effects of childhood obesity
August 29, 2011
By Daniel Taylor, For The Inquirer
It never fails. As I make my way to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children each morning, I get stuck at a traffic light in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. The intersection is a hub for several elementary and high schools and a large YMCA. Lately I have become obsessed by a small store with a line of children waiting at the counter, wiping the sleep out of their eyes and taking away black plastic bags full of doughnuts. Why this obsession? To me, it is a small piece of a great health epidemic facing our nation and our city: childhood obesity.

Don't baby your kids' fat - keep them active and healthy
September 10, 2015
HALLELUJAH, the kids are back in school, right? We're all running around buying back-to-school supplies and new clothes, but let's take a minute to revisit children's fitness and the nagging problem of childhood obesity. According to the most recent national data, we continue to fail at putting a serious dent in childhood obesity. There was serious celebration a few years ago when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced a significant drop (from 14 percent to 8.4 percent)
Q&A: Cause for hope in teen obesity?
August 23, 2015
By Sandy Bauers, For The Inquirer
Kids have tried. Parents have tried. Health professionals have tried. But according to the American Academy of Pediatrics Institute for Healthy Childhood Weight, obesity has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents in the last 30 years. These children are at increased risk for adult diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. The annual hospital costs related to childhood obesity and its attendant problems - comorbidities - is roughly $127 million, according to the institute.
Childhood obesity continues modest decline in Phila.
August 23, 2015
By Don Sapatkin, Inquirer Staff Writer
Three years ago, with childhood obesity on what seemed to be a scary rise toward infinity, Philadelphia was among the first cities to report a short-term drop. With that tentative finding replicated, more or less, around the country, a new Philadelphia study has found longer-term evidence of a reversal in the 30-year trend. Considering that obesity rates tripled over that period, the recent changes are small and the burden remains large: 20.3 percent of city public school students were obese in 2012-13, down from 21.7 percent in 2006-07.
Will exercise & nutrition slow down early puberty?
December 24, 2014
BEING THE mother of a 6-year-old, I go to lots of children's birthday parties. I've been noticing a phenomenon called precocious puberty, which hits girls especially hard, though increasingly I've noticed it in boys, too. I'll find myself thinking, "Whoa! She's 7? She's developing breasts and looks like a little woman!" Or, "My goodness, he's 8 and already taller than me!" Witnessing this has made me curious and, along with other moms I talk with, I'm concerned, worried and bewildered.
DN Editorial: Taking on fatheads
June 6, 2014
FIRST ladies aren't normally given to sharp rebukes of Congress, but we can't blame Michelle Obama for being a bit peeved at the efforts of some on Capitol Hill to roll back school nutrition standards. At the request of certain special-interest groups, House Republicans are backing a provision in the 2015 funding bill that would give schools the option of waiving the standards for one year in districts where the lunch program is losing money. It should come as no surprise that some in the food industry - particularly those who make such questionable menu items as mini-pizzas loaded with high-fat cheese or deep-fried chicken nuggets that no longer make the nutritional cut - are balking at the standards.

Child obesity thinning down
August 15, 2013
IT'S A FACT: One in every eight American preschoolers and one in six older children and teens are obese. But finally, after more than three decades of steady escalation, childhood obesity numbers are coming down! Last fall, a study showed the first glimmer of hope: that the rates were falling in American cities, including Philly - down 5 percent. Now, a study released last week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows a decline in obesity rates among low-income preschoolers in 19 of the 43 U.S. states and territories studied.
Television ads contribute to child obesity
July 15, 2013
Beth Wallace Smith, a registered dietitian at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, wrote this for the Healthy Kids blog at Philly.com. Looking for another reason children should step away from the TV? You can add "contributes to obesity" to the list. A report from the World Health Organization's European office stated that the marketing of junk food to children through commercials and social media has become "disastrously effective. " Now with one in three children in America considered overweight or obese, could part of the answer really be a remote click away?
DN Editorial: Weighty measures
July 12, 2013
TODAY, THE CITY will unveil a new anti-poverty strategy, and since ours is one of the poorest big cities in the nation, it's not a moment too soon. Poverty is a complicated problem, but recent headway that the city has made on childhood obesity may provide optimism for our ability to grapple with this seemingly intractable problem. Like poverty, childhood obesity is complex: driven by poverty, policy and other cultural and social factors, all of which has, in the past 30 years, doubled the rate of obesity in children and tripled it in adolescents.
Fitness is the answer: Here are some of the questions
May 9, 2013
Congratulations to Frank Patton, who answered 11 out of 12 questions correct to win Kimberly Garrison's fitness quiz. DESPITE the national outcry over childhood obesity and related health issues, American children aren't getting adequate exercise or enough servings of vegetables and fruits every day. What's worse, many public school systems, including Philadelphia's, are being forced into draconian budget cuts that are further dismantling fitness...

Background and Design:
Past observations have shown increased irritancy in patients with ''conditioned hyperirritability'' due to active dermatitis, including atopic dermatitis (AD). In less active atopic conditions, irritancy levels are less certain. We have utilized 48-hour Finn Chamber testing with graded dilutions of sodium lauryl sulfate to detect irritancy thresholds in well-defined groups of patients with AD, inactive AD, and allergic respiratory disease with no dermatitis and in normal nonatopic subjects.
Significantly greater frequency of response to sodium lauryl sulfate in both AD groups and also in patients with allergic rhinitis with no dermatitis was seen. Effective concentrations of sodium lauryl sulfate causing irritation in 50% or more of subjects (ED50) ranged from 0.0625% to 0.31% in all atopic groups, percentages that were significantly lower than the normal ED50 of 0.60%. Response intensity was also significantly greater in each atopic group.
Our results showed significantly greater irritant responses in atopic subjects with no skin disease or in subjects with inactive AD and confirmed past findings that showed greatly increased irritancy in patients with active AD. We hypothesize that abnormal intrinsic hyperreactivity in inflammatory cells, rather than in skin cells, in atopic individuals predisposes to a lowered threshold of irritant responsiveness.(Arch Dermatol. 1994;130:1402-1407)

If you believe you're being discriminated against in your job, ask your boss, "Why does Billy make more than me for the same job?" Or, if you want to make more money get educated in your subject of choice and get a job in that field then work your way up the ladder. If you don't want to have sex, JUST SAY NO! You are only victimized if you allow yourself to be! It's not rocket science, girls.
