Baked Ziti with Italian Sausage

This is the time of year where I find myself indulging in comfort foods. Perhaps its the cooler weather, but I've been craving {gluten free}pasta lately. With lots of cheese. The most recent pasta dish I made was this Baked Ziti with Italian Sausage. Pasta is tossed with a flavorful tomato sauce and zesty Italian sausage before being layered with mozarella and Parmesan cheese. This glorious dish is baked until the flavors have blended and the cheese melts ever so perfectly...Joel loves his macaroni and generally likes pasta dishes. This was a dish he really enjoyed and was a nice change of pace from his favorite macaroni and cheese. I used pork I

DSM5 Autism's Targeted Exclusion Of Intellectually Disabled Is NOT Based on Research Evidence

Dr. Catherine Lord has attempted to sell her DSM5 New Autism Spectrum Disorder in a comment at the Huffington Post by telling the ignorant, unwashed public that we have nothing to fear from the DSM5 Autism changes. Dr. Lord is trying to paint those who disagree with the DSM5 Autism Do-Over as irrational  thereby deflecting legitimate criticism which she and her DSM5 colleagues have not been able to credibly answer.  My criticism of the new DSM5 is two fold. 1. It expressly targets for exclusion the intellectually disabled who are also autistic and 2. It oversimplifies a complex disorder.  I have commented for the past 2 1/2 years on the

Is All Genetic Autism Research Fundamentally Flawed?

The assumption in traditional genetic expression analysis that mRNA content is similar between cells (represented by orange and black dots) does not affect the final results when the cells in fact do have equivalent mRNA content, as in Figure A. In Figure B, the cell represented by the orange dots has a significantly higher mRNA content, but when the data is normalized with the assumption that their contents are equal, the perceived response is skewed and inaccurately indicates that some of the genes are repressed (green bars). Using a standardized control, as in Figure C, eliminates the assumptions about mRNA content and presents accurate results.W
