"This study sought to determine whether neonatal feeding skills in extremely preterm infants (EPT) had an association with scores on speech and expressive language measures at approximately ten years of age. Additionally, neonatal feeding abilities were analyzed to determine if there was an association with sensorimotor and visuomotor test measures at approximately ten years of age. Eighty-four EPT children were categorized based on feeding history at 34 weeks gestational age into two groups: infants who were primarily oral feeding (POF), and infants who were primarily tube feeding (PTF). There was no significant difference in size or sex between the two groups. Independent t-tests with a chi-square analysis were used to analyze the composition of the two groups. The majority of infants in the PTF group were characteristically white, had lower birth weights, and a history of bronochopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Only the variable of race, however, withstood statistical analysis for multiple t-tests. One-way ANOVA procedures determined that there was no significant difference between the performance of the two feeding groups on standardized measures of speech or oral expression at 10 years of age. The parent perceptions of the children's speech and oral expression skills also did not differ between the two groups. Additionally, one feeding group did not perform better than the other on measures of sensorimotor or visuomotor skills. While no association was determined in the current study, results remained inconclusive and warrant further investigation with a greater variety of standardized measures of speech, oral expression, and sensorimotor and visuomotor skill."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

"The Department of Corrections supports HB 2620. HB 2620 amends K.S.A. 75-5217 to allow the secretary to assess Delinquent Time Lost on Parole (DTLOP) as part of a parolee or postreleasee waiver of a hearing before the Prisoner Review Board. DTLOP is the principle that the time during which a person on release supervision has absconded from supervision does not count toward service of his or her release supervision obligation."

This Handbook was created to provide interested parties with a reference source for the release hearing process.

"The Department of Corrections supports HB 2107.

Presentation giving an overview of Kansas Department of Corrections Community and Field Services Division with information on interstate compacts for adult offender supervision and statistics on supervised offenders and recidivism rates.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Connecticut Department of Corrections funded program, Community Transitional Services at reducing risk of recidivism and increasing public safety. The following study will examine 81 male adult sex offender parolees referred to the program thru June 2009 to October 2011. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of the program in reducing risk to recidivate by studying rearrest rates of discharged offenders. Parole summaries, client files and judicial arrest data will be used to determine the rearrest rate in relation to static risk factors of the offenders. Static risk factors to be examined include sex offense type, victim type, age at first sex offense, number of prior sex offenses and level of violence in the sex crime. The study will contribute to existing literature regarding sex offenders placed in community supervision programs and the reduction of recidivism.
