Children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) may be at elevated risk for unhealthy weight. Samples of children with verified clinical diagnoses of ASD have been lacking, and associations with child behavior and functioning are not well understood.

Young children (2–5 years old) and adolescents (12–17 years old) with ASDs were at an elevated risk for unhealthy weight status compared with a general population sample. The presence of sleep or affective problems may confer increased risk among those with ASD. (Read the full article)

"We can do better," Germany coach Silvia Neid concluded after her side joined France and Sweden in making it to the quarter-finals of the Olympic tournament in unspectacular fashion.

Lisa Dahlkvist's penalty won Sweden an Olympic shoot-out against favourites the United States, and Germany forged on, but France did not make it to the last four.

The Olympic women's football final will be an all-European affair after Sweden ousted hosts Brazil on penalties and Germany beat Canada in Tuesday's semi-finals.

History overwhelmingly favours Germany against Sweden on Friday, but in Pia Sundhage, Sweden are led by a coach bidding for a third successive Olympic gold.

Silvia Neid has won it all as a player and coach ... nearly. Only an Olympic gold has eluded her – on Friday she can end that wait in her final game as Germany coach.

Silvia Neid brought down the curtain on her 11-year reign as Nationalelf coach triumphantly as Germany overcame a spirited Sweden side 2-1 to win their first Olympic title.

Forty-six teams have entered European qualifying for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France, with 16 involved in the preliminary round draw on 19 January.

Silvia Neid, who led Germany to Olympic gold in 2016, was named best coach at The Best FIFA Football Awards as Melanie Behringer just missed out on the top player gong.

Debutants Kosovo will make the short trip to Albania as the 16 FIFA Women's World Cup preliminary round entrants discovered their groups for April.

It had been 19 years since Germany lost a qualifier but Iceland ended that run in stunning style with a 3-2 away win that finished some incredible runs by the twice world champions.

European champions the Netherlands opened qualifying with a dramatic defeat of Norway as Iceland shocked Germany before being held themselves in October's fixtures.

England, Switzerland, Sweden, Italy, Spain and Finland maintained their perfect records but European champions the Netherlands were held by the Republic of Ireland.

John Solomon has worked overtime and then some to rip Adam Schiff’s mask off. So have Catherine Herridge, Sara Carter, Lee Smith, Gregg Jarrett, Kim Strassel, Mollie Hemmingway and Byron York. Solomon’s article highlights how utterly dishonest Adam Schiff is. Ditto with the upper echelon of the FBI. Strap yourself in. This isn’t a short ride. The pursuit of the truth ended Thursday when the Justice Department formally asked a court to vacate Flynn’s conviction and end the criminal case, acknowledging the former general had indeed been cleared by FBI agents and that the bureau did not have a lawful purpose when it interviewed him in January 2017. Attorney General William Barr put it more bluntly in an interview Thursday : “They kept it open for the express purpose of trying to catch, to lay a perjury trap for General Flynn.” According to Solomon’s reporting, the FBI didn’t have a reason to investigate Gen. Flynn: 3. Case closed memo. FBI agents wrote a memo to close the investigation of Flynn on Jan. 4, 2017, writing they found “no derogatory” evidence that Flynn committed a crime or posed a national security threat. FBI management then ordered the closure to be rescinded and pivoted toward trying lure Flynn into an interview. https://justthenews.com/accountability/russia-and-ukraine-scandals/fbi-found-no-derogatory-russia-evidence-flynn-planned Corrupt FBI agent Peter Strzok allegedly ordered Crossfire Razor, the codename for th

The owner of the iconic Park Slope events venue Grand Prospect Hall, Michael Halkias, died from COVID-19 on Wednesday. He was 82. Halkias’ death sent shockwaves throughout Brooklyn, where community leaders and friends remember him as a passionate, generous figure. “ He was a Brooklyn character for sure in the best sort of way,” said Randy Peers, president and CEO of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. “He was larger than life.” Halkias and his wife Alice bought Grand Prospect Hall in 1984 and turned the extravagant Prospect Avenue building into an opulent catering hall. The space became a New York icon because of the its long-running, popular commercials, where Alice Halkias declares in a Greek accent, “We make your dreams come true!” Saturday Night Live spoofed the famous commercial in February of 2019, and the pair appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live in October to remake the ad with Mets player Pete Alonso. Grand Prospect Hall, a Victorian banquet hall built in 1892, attracted big names such as dancer Fred Astaire and mafioso Al Capone during its heyday in the early 20th century — and boasted some of the borough’s oldest treasures, such as Brooklyn’s first reported elevator, which functions to this day. But by the 1980s, the landmarked building had fallen into disrepair: its walls had been painted black, molding had been stripped off the walls, and the chandeliers were gone, Halkias told Brooklyn Paper in 2004. The couple spent 20 yea

On Friday night’s edition of CNN’s Cuomo PrimeTime , Mr. Arbery and family attorney Benjamin Crump joined host Chris Cuomo to discuss the Feb. 23 killing that was captured on a video that was leaked this week, but which police have had since the crime was committed. “What do you want people to know about your son, and what this means to you?” Cuomo asked. “I just want people to know that he was a very good young man, and he loved the people, and I just want people to remember him as a good-hearted young man,” Mr. Arbery said, adding that his late son “was the type of young man, if he had one dollar, and you needed that one dollar, he would give it to you. That’s just how good his heart was.” Mr. Arbery went on to say that “to see him just get lynched like that by a racial mob, it’s just devastating to our fam
