School Suspension and Expulsion: Policy Statement.

Exclusionary school discipline practices-ie, suspension and expulsion-represent some of the most severe consequences a school district can implement for unacceptable student behavior. Suspension and expulsion were traditionally used for student behaviors that caused serious harm, such as bringing a weapon to school. Currently, the most common indications for exclusionary school discipline are for behaviors that are neither violent nor criminal.

Exercise Training in "At-Risk" Black and White Women: A Comparative Cohort Analyses.

Purpose: Few data on the effect of exercise interventions in black women at risk for cardiovascular disease are available.

Methods: Women ≥18 yr of age without known cardiovascular disease with ≥1 coronary risk factor were enrolled in a community-based exercise program ≥3 d·wk for ≥30 min per session for 6 months. Exercise training intensity ~50% to 80% of functional capacity, using heart rate (HR) and/or rating of perceived exertion (RPE) as the primary intensity modulators.
