A: If you want to pass a table into the stored procedure as parameter - then answer is no. Only scalar values can be passed.
The table can be accessed by its name directly; if you want to use that table name to construct and run new query in procedure, then have a look at prepared statements.

  SET @SQLString = CONCAT("SELECT * FROM `", TBName, "` ;");

  PREPARE qry FROM @SQLString;
  EXECUTE qry;

END$$

Trinity Western speaker reinforces prejudice
Kia Kortelainen
Students don't need their sexual identity diagnosed.
Trinity Western University, a Christian university in B.C., stirred up more controversy recently when they invited Dr. Mark Yarhouse to speak at their campuses. The professor's work is based on the belief that sexual identity can be changed.
Guy Saffold, special assistant to the president, defended Yarhouse's visit to concerned students with the claim that, "students will learn to interact with challenging views and to have the intellectual strength to challenge back when something concerns them."
Essentially, that boils down to a pedagogical strategy of presenting students with what not to think, and then hoping they know the difference.
Yarhouse's invitation isn't surprising, given the school's covenant with students forbidding sex outside of heterosexual marriage, which recently lost them their Law Society of Upper Canada accreditation.
However, in light of that court battle, it's strange Trinity Western would host a speaker addressing the student body on the topic of homosexuality, when, at least from the school's perspective, none of their students are gay.
Granted, the school is a Christian institution, and it's understandable that they would choose to invite speakers who supported their religious prerogative.
But there's something extremely prejudicial about presenting moral or religious views in the guise of science or medicine.
Yarhouse isn't a minister. He's a professor of psychology. He started the Institute for the Study of Sexual Identity, which clinically analyses sexual identity and offers therapy to clients, "so that their behavior and sexual identity line up with their beliefs and values."
He's published many papers with titles such as "Ex Gays? An Extended Longitudinal Study of Attempted Religiously Mediated Change in Sexual Orientation".
And Yarhouse's talk will be on "Understanding Sexual Identity and Gender Dysphoria". Gender dysphoria is a medical disorder that occurs in someone who doesn't identify with their biological sex.
To be clear: homosexuality, bisexuality, being transgender or any other version of sexual or gendered identity isn't a mental disorder. It doesn't require diagnosis and treatment.
But, in his invitation to address their student body, there's an implicit acknowledgment that what he has to say is important enough to go through the expense and the time of having him there.
Coming to grips with your sexuality can a bewildering experience that may require support. But, clearly, Trinity Western is incapable of providing unprejudiced guidance to its students.
There are many issues of mental health that students can be susceptible to throughout their university years and beyond — depression, anxiety, ADHD, to name a few.
Homosexuality isn't one of them.

PRESS RELEASE July 1, 2020
World Bank Group Debars Aaron Ingenieros Constructores & Consultores E.I.R.L.
WASHINGTON, July 1, 2020 — The World Bank Group today announced the 15-month debarment of Peru-based Aaron Ingenieros Constructores & Consultores E.I.R.L., a company that provides road freight transport services, in connection with a fraudulent practice as part of the Support to the Subnational Transport Program Project in Peru.
The debarment makes Aaron Ingenieros Constructores & Consultores E.I.R.L. ineligible to participate in projects and operations financed by institutions of the World Bank Group. It is part of a settlement agreement under which the company acknowledges responsibility for the underlying sanctionable practices and agrees to meet specified corporate compliance conditions as a condition for release from debarment.
The project was designed to facilitate sustainable road access by rural populations, reduce costs on rural roads connected to priority transport corridors, and strengthen the decentralized management of roads. According to the facts of the case, the company misrepresented its financial capacity through false letters of credit to meet the requirements for World Bank-financed tenders, which is a fraudulent practice.
The settlement agreement provides for a reduced period of debarment in light of the company's cooperation and voluntary remedial actions. As a condition for release from sanction under the terms of the settlement agreement, the company commits to developing an integrity compliance program consistent with the principles set out in the World Bank Group Integrity Compliance Guidelines. The company also commits to continue to fully cooperate with the World Bank Group Integrity Vice Presidency.
The debarment of Aaron Ingenieros Constructores & Consultores E.I.R.L. qualifies for cross-debarment by other multilateral development banks (MDBs) under the Agreement for Mutual Enforcement of Debarment Decisions that was signed on April 9, 2010.

"It feels like springtime throughout the year."
Working for a company that tours through parts of Central and South America, I am always looking for the latest and greatest via the web, for articles pertaining to these countries. We want to know what others are saying and what the good, bad and ugly opinions are out there regarding life overseas. I'm all about sharing the good reads I find with those who I think would appreciate them!
One of the most fascinating places I've ever come across is Boquete, Panama. My heart fills with joy when I hear of others who share the same feelings as I do about Boquete. I came across this article on Huffington Post's website who received the article as courtesy from International Living, the world's leading authority on how to live, work, invest, travel, and retire better overseas.
A perfect climate was a major requirement for Brandy and Bob Gregory when they sought their overseas retirement home eight years ago. They found their ideal weather in the highland town of Boquete, in western Panama.
"We're from Nashville, Tennessee, and we wanted to move to a place that's not too cold and not too hot," says Brandy. "When we came to Panama and I saw Boquete for the first time, I said to Bob, 'This is paradise.'"
Bob, a former naval officer, and Brandy, a registered nurse, have been living in Boquete since 2008. "It was Bob's idea to move overseas, and I just went along," says Brandy. "He wanted to live someplace different and we did lots and lots of research, especially comparing climate data. We didn't want to have any heating or air conditioning bills, and Boquete is just perfect."
Boquete's perfect weather is due to its altitude, as it lies at about 3,300 feet. The highlands across Panama are formed by the mountains of the Cordillera Central, and the highest of these is Barú Volcano. At 11,400 feet, it towers over smaller peaks in Chiriquí Province, and its rain forest environment is responsible for Boquete's cool temperatures and abundant rainfall. With daytime highs in the 80s F and nighttime lows in the 60s F, it feels like springtime throughout the year.
"We visited Panama for a week, because I had to smell the air and feel the dirt before I could make any decisions," says Brandy. "We looked at the house, went back to Tennessee and talked it over, then bought the house and came back to do the paperwork." The couple bought a home in Alto Boquete, a short distance from the town center off the main highway. "We have amazing neighbors. They're just wonderful, friendly people, and we're the only foreigners who live in this neighborhood," says Brandy.
Another major difference is their cost of living, which is noticeably lower. "I would estimate our monthly budget to be less than $2,000. We own our home and we have three vehicles (one is Bob's 'pet project' Land Cruiser). We have solar panels, so our electric bill is only about $40. Internet and cable service run about $90, and we spend about $500 a month on groceries and necessities. We go out to eat with friends and attend some of the music and theater productions, as well," says Brandy.
*If you'd like a private or small group tour of Panama, connect with us to learn more. We get a lot of inquiries from people interested in retiring or relocating overseas and know all there is to know about making the move, and who you need to meet in order to make it all happen. We have a passion for helping people discover new places and are more than happy to talk with you about the opportunities that lie ahead pertaining to your exploration process!

I have worked with many realtors in the past (being an investor), and Jerod and his team are one of the best! Great job! Highly recommend.
Jerod is a rare combination. Personable, professional and punctual. He helped us find just the right investment property. We look forward to working with him again when he finds a suitable home for our daughter.
Jerod was there with us every step of the way. Answered all our questions. We could call him anytime. Very professional. He just did a great job and his team was outstanding.
Jerod and the entire Team Krenz team were great to work with. Very responsive and came with a great plan for selling my house. They provided assistance and advice while letting my wife and I make the decisions.
I have worked with many realtors in the past (being an investor), and Jerod and his team are one of the best!Great Job! Highly recommended.
The Krenz Team sold my home in 6 days—what more can I say?! I recommend Jerod Krenz for ALL your realtor needs. The energy you'll see and feel from this team is absolutely contagious!

Views in TOPPView#
TOPPView offers three types of views – a 1D view for spectra, a 2D view for peak maps and feature maps, and a 3D view for peak maps. All three views can be freely configured to suit the individual needs of the user.
Action Modes and Their Uses#
All three views share a similar interface. Three action modes are supported – one for translation, one for zooming and one for measuring:
Translate mode
It is activated by default
Move the mouse while holding the mouse button down to translate the current view
Arrow keys can be used to translate the view without entering translate mode (in 1D-View you can additionally use Shift to jump to the next peak)
Zoom mode
All previous zoom levels are stored in a zoom history. The zoom history can be traversed using CTRL + +/CTRL + - or the mouse wheel (scroll up and down)
Zooming into the data:
Mark an area in the current view with your mouse, while holding the left mouse button plus the CTRL key to zoom to this area.
You can also use your mouse wheel to traverse the zoom history.
If you have reached the end of the history, keep on pressing CTRL + + or scroll up, the current area will be enlarged by a factor of 1.25.
Pressing Backspace resets the zoom and zoom history.
Measure mode
It is activated using SHIFT.
Press the left mouse button down while a peak is selected and drag the mouse to another peak to measure the distance between peaks.
This mode is implemented in the 1D and 2D mode.
1D View#
The 1D view is used to display raw spectra or peak spectra. Raw data is displayed using a continuous line. Peak data is displayed using one stick per peak. The color used for drawing the lines can be set for each layer individually. The 1D view offers a mirror mode, where the window is vertically divided in halves and individual layers can be displayed either above or below the "mirror" axis in order to facilitate quick visual comparison of spectra. When a mirror view is active, it is possible to perform a spectrum alignment of a spectrum in the upper and one in the lower half, respectively. Moreover, spectra can be annotated manually. Currently, distance annotations between peaks, peak annotations and simple text labels are provided.
The following example image shows a 1D view in mirror mode. A theoretical spectrum (lower half) has been generated using the theoretical spectrum generator (Tools > Generate theoretical spectrum). The mirror mode has been activated by right-clicking the layer containing the theoretical spectrum and selecting Flip downward from the layer context menu. A spectrum alignment between the two spectra has been performed (Tools > Align spectra). It is visualized by the red lines connecting aligned peaks and can be reset through the context menu. Moreover, in the example, several distances between abundant peaks have been measured and subsequently replaced by their corresponding amino acid residue code. This is done by right-clicking a distance annotation and selecting Edit from the context menu. Additionally, peak annotations and text labels have been added by right-clicking peaks and selecting Add peak annotation or by right clicking anywhere and selecting Add Label, respectively. Multiple annotations can be selected by holding down the CTRL key while clicking them. They can be moved around by dragging the mouse and deleted by pressing DEL.
Through the context menu: of the 1D view you can:
View/edit meta data.
Save the current layer data.
Change display settings.
Add peak annotations or arbitrary text labels.
Reset a performed alignment.
The 2D view is used to display peak maps and feature maps in a top-down view with color-coded intensities. Peaks and feature centroids are displayed as dots. For features, also the overall convex hull and the convex hulls of individual mass traces can be displayed. The color gradient used to encode for peak and feature intensities can be set for each layer individually.
The following example image shows a small section of a peak map and the detected features in a second layer.
In addition to the normal top-down view, the 2D view can display the projections of the data to the m/z and RT axis. This feature is mainly used to assess the quality of a feature without opening the data region in 3D view.
View/edit meta data
View survey/fragment scans in 1D view
View survey/fragment scans meta data
View the currently selected area in 3D view
Save the current layer data
Change display settings
The 3D view can only display peak maps. Its primary use is the closer inspection of a small region of the map, e.g. a single feature. In the 3D view slight intensity differences are easier to recognize than in the 2D view. The color gradient used to encode peak intensities, the width of the lines and the coloring mode of the peaks can be set for each layer individually.
The following example image shows a small region of a peak map:

At the end of last year, Oracle took aim at Red Hat with a support program that seriously undercut Red Hat's pricing. Oracle's pricing claims might be a bit of smoke and mirrors, but it is giving customers something to think about as contracts come up for renewal.
Now Sun is planning to attack Red Hat, as well as Oracle, claiming that the leading open source Linux company is under-serving customers and that Solaris can do the job better. "The big take away is that it is not just the [Solaris] technology," said Rich Green, executive vice-president of software at Sun. "There is a vacuum that is not being served by Red Hat or served by Microsoft. We are well positioned and fully intend to fill the gap." The big volume gap is primarily the Web tier and edge content serving for startups and small businesses, which has been a Red Hat stronghold.
Sun offers free access to Solaris 10 (no support contract required) and support that the company claims is 20 to 50 percent cheaper than Red Hat support, and is priced competitively with Oracle Red Hat support. Sun also touts Solaris as a superior (more robust, secure and supportable) operating system to Red Hat Linux or other distributions for enterprises as well as smaller businesses and startups.
"Today with Web 2.0, the amount of content and applications is growing and businesses rely 100 percent on Web," Green said. "The choice of how to build systems is now extremely relevant." With nearly 7 million downloads of free Solaris, Sun hopes to engage customers in conversations that could lead to Solaris deployments irregardless of hardware platform, said Peder Ulander, vice president of software marketing at Sun.
As part of the support offering, Sun introduced The Sun Connection service, which provides life cycle management of Solaris in the Web tier, and migration programs and new programs for resellers.
"We can provide better support than Red Hat or Oracle, and we have an aggressive campaign to educate partners and to engage with the startup community, partnering with VCs and luminaries to get Solaris into the higher volume Web tier," Ulander claimed.
"We have an opportunity right now with new versions of Windows, Red Hat and others. With the release of a new Red Hat operating system, there is a lot of cost associated with migration and re-certifying hardware and software. Solaris has always been binary-compatible through the migration of the platform, which gives us an advantage. There is an opportunity in the market, and ours to take," Ulander continued.
Ulander said that Sun has corporate goals--metrics for success--around volume, new design wins, and start ups, which influence the compensation program in the company.
Sun's attack on Red Hat should be good for users, but it remains to be seen just how successful Sun will be at slowing down Red Hat and achieving its metrics for success.


I'm sitting in a little room buried underneath the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland and I'm here for my third XOXO. And I can't stop smiling.
Although the festival is not entirely focused on coding and front-end development, there are a lot of developers here that make art on the web for fun. From Jenn Schiffer's pixel art to Monica Dinculescu's emoji projects and Nicole He's buck-wild enhance.computer, there's a lot of interesting discussions about coding — but! — it's from a very different perspective than the one I'm familiar with.
Most conferences tend to focus on being practical. Here's the newest technique! Here's how to improve your career! Here's the coolest new folks that you should be following! But it's important to remember that the web isn't only a serious place for serious work. It can be this entirely other thing, too.
The web can be for fun. It can be utterly weird and unexpected. And that's what we're all seeing in this little room right now at XOXO; websites that can't be monetized, websites that can't be controlled by corporate interests or giant ad networks.
Websites that are just for fun.

Britain's champion jockey banned from racing for 14 months
Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images
LONDON — British horse racing's champion jockey was banned for 14 months because of a variety of offenses, including two positive tests for alcohol at racecourses.
Oisin Murphy faced an independent judiciary panel in relation to five charges – two relating to failed tests for alcohol and separate counts of misleading the British Horseracing Authority about his whereabouts, accessing a racecourse in breach of COVID-19 restrictions, and conduct prejudicial to the good reputation of the sport.
Murphy did not contest any of the charges and was given three 11-month suspensions – to run concurrently – along with two bans, totaling 100 days, for the positive alcohol tests.
The suspension period was backdated to December when Murphy decided to relinquish his license and seek "serious help." He is ineligible to reapply for his license until Feb. 16, 2023.
He was also handed a fine of 31,111 pounds ($42,290).
The 26-year-old Irishman has been crowned flat-racing champion in Britain for the last three seasons.
The panel heard Murphy went on holiday to the Greek island of Mykonos, which was on the COVID red list at the time, for 10 days in September 2020. He later attempted to convince racing officials he had been to Lake Como in Italy.
Murphy subsequently failed two breath tests for alcohol at Chester in May and Newmarket in October. They were his second and third breaches within the allotted time period to trigger a lengthy ban.
In a lengthy statement to the BHA panel, Murphy said: "Now that I'm sober, I'm a different person and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have made those errors sober, but I can't go back in time and I'm afraid they were grave issues.
"I dealt with success and failure the same," he said. "Drink was the rock I perished on. People had told me this could happen, but I failed to avoid it and fell into the trap."
Flightline, Pletcher, Godolphin lead way at Eclipse Awards
Pat McDonogh/USA TODAY NETWORK
PALM BEACH, Fla. — Flightline ran away in all six of his races, and ran away with top honors at the Eclipse Awards on Thursday night.
And trainer Todd Pletcher, for the first time in nearly a decade, received the sport's top prize as well.
Flightline – the now-retired winner of last year's Breeders' Cup Classic to cap an unbeaten six-race career – won Horse of the Year as well as the Eclipse as top Older Dirt Male. It was no surprise that Flightline took home both awards, and he's now standing stud.
"We'll hope that his future is as bright as his past," co-owner Kosta Hronis said.
Godolphin was also a double winner, sweeping the Eclipses as top owner and top breeder for the second consecutive year. It was also the third consecutive top-owner Eclipse for Godolphin.
"This is truly a golden era for Godolphin racing," said Michael Banahan, the stable's director of bloodstock. "And these awards and accolades recognize how special it is."
It was Pletcher's eighth Eclipse, extending his record for the most by any trainer, and his first since 2014. It was one of the few close races in the voting; Pletcher got 108 first-place votes, while four-time Eclipse winner Chad Brown got 95 and finished second.
"This really is not an individual award. This is a team award," Pletcher said. "This is an award about the owners, and most importantly, the horses."
Irad Ortiz Jr. won the Eclipse as top jockey for the fourth time in the last five years; he tied Pat Day and Javier Castellano for third-most in history, behind only seven-time winner Jerry Bailey and five-time winner Laffit Pincay Jr.
Ortiz led all jockeys with more than $37 million in purses in 2022.
"Wow," Ortiz said. "It's been an amazing year for me."
Forte won the Eclipse as 2-year-old male, and will enter this year's Triple Crown season as one of the early favorites.
"We're all in this game for a horse like Forte," said Mike Repole, the horse's co-owner along with Florida Panthers owner Vincent Viola and Teresa Viola. "We're all in this game to one day maybe own a 2-year-old that has a chance. It's great to have the Kentucky Derby favorite. … Forte's an incredible horse."
Epicenter won the 3-year-old male Eclipse, after running second at both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, then winning the Jim Dandy and Travers at Saratoga over the summer.
Wonder Wheel was the winner as 2-year-old filly, while Nest won the Eclipse in the 3-year-old filly division. Malathaat was the Eclipse winner for older dirt female, Goodnight Olive for female sprinter and Regal Glory for female turf horse.
Elite Power was picked as the top male sprinter, Modern Games won the Eclipse for male turf horse, and Hewick was the Eclipse winner in the steeplechase division.
Jose Antonio Gomez won as top apprentice jockey.
The Eclipse Awards are voted on by members of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, the Daily Racing Form and National Turf Writers And Broadcasters.
Trainer Bob Baffert's ban from racing in New York is over
Courier Journal/USA TODAY Sports
Bob Baffert can once again enter horses at New York's major tracks.
The Hall of Fame trainer's one-year ban by the New York Racing Association ended Wednesday, allowing him to enter horses as soon as Thursday.
"I was disappointed they even did it, but it's water under the bridge," Baffert told The Associated Press by phone.
He was suspended last June for repeated medication violations, although none of them occurred in New York. He was barred from Aqueduct, Belmont and Saratoga. A panel credited Baffert for time served for an initial suspension, which allowed him to return this week.
Aqueduct is currently holding its 44-day winter meet that runs through March 26. Baffert doesn't typically run horses this time of year in New York; he targets the biggest stakes races at Belmont in the spring and Saratoga in the summer.
Baffert remains under a two-year ban by Churchill Downs Inc., which sidelined him after Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit tested positive for a substance that is not allowed on race day. The penalty expires shortly after the Kentucky Derby in May. However, Baffert is fighting the suspension in federal court.
The Southern California-based trainer has a big weekend coming up around the country, although not in New York.
He has horses running at three tracks on Saturday.
Defunded is entered in the $3 million Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream in Florida, where Baffert assistant Jimmy Barnes will be on hand.
Arabian Knight goes into the $750,000 Southwest Stakes as the early favorite at Oaklawn in Arkansas. Baffert has won the Kentucky Derby prep race a record-tying five times and will travel to Hot Springs to watch the 3-year-old colt.
"It's going to be a good test for him. The only way to find out is to run him long," he said. "It's going to take a superior horse to do that and I'm hoping that he is."
The Southwest offers Kentucky Derby qualifying points to the top five finishers. Arabian Knight won't receive any points regardless of his placing because of Baffert's Derby ban.
Hopper will run in the $200,000 San Pasqual Stakes on Saturday at Santa Anita.
On Sunday at the same track, Baffert has entered four of the five horses set to run in the $200,000 San Vicente Stakes for 3-year-olds.

New Extrusion Techniques Advance Catheter Design
I nnovative processing technologies can help designers create products that perform better and cost less.
Medical tubing used in minimally invasive devices has become increasingly sophisticated. Today's cutting-edge devices are reaching more remote regions of the human anatomy and are used to perform greater diagnostic and interventional procedures, requiring different performance properties on the exterior and interior of the catheter shaft and along the length.
The performance characteristics necessary for catheters to reach smaller distal areas within the body include pushability, torque transmission, and flexibility. Catheters are inserted into a vascular passage from a peripheral location, such as the femoral artery. The physician advances the catheter by pushing it from the proximal end and provides direction with rotational inputs that are transmitted by way of torque from the proximal end to the advancing distal tip. At the same time, the catheter must remain flexible to navigate the complex turns and branches inherent in the vascular system...
So Many Polymers, So Little Time
Today's minimally invasive surgical techniques involve incisions that are small enough for a surgeon to insert a catheter into a blood vessel. These small incisions are a conduit through which instruments and devices can be inserted to treat diseased blood vessels, clean out blocked vessels, or deliver clot-dissolving medications directly at the problem area.
Vascular catheters used in minimally invasive surgery face a number of design challenges. While they must be fairly stiff at their proximal end to allow the pushing and maneuvering of the catheter as it progresses through the body, they must also be sufficiently flexible at the distal end to allow passage of the catheter tip through smaller blood vessels without causing significant trauma to the vessels themselves or to the surrounding tissue. This combination of flexibility, high tensile strength, and compression resistance is what makes designing a vascular catheter challenging.

Gianni Ruffi's La Cova epitomises one of the most creative periods of Italian 20th Century design, at a time when a Pop aesthetic was sweeping across Europe and the United States. Placed in context alongside other well-known designs such as the baseball glove-shaped Joe chair by De Pas, D'Urbino and Lomazzi and the luscious red lips of the Marilyn sofa created by Studio 65, the current lot represents a new humorous sense of the absurd in furniture design, in which everyday objects were both massively increased in size and radically reinterpreted in their function. Florence-born Ruffi rapidly achieved world-wide recognition in the late 60s with exhibitions in New York and Monaco, as well as many other shows during this period in his native Italy, effectively introducing him to a worldwide audience. La Cova ably captures the mood of the time, combining eloquent design with a dramatic sense of the surreal.


FTR's Trucking Conditions Index, as reported in the March 2011 Trucking Update, rose to 9.1 in January from a December reading of 7.1.
The Trucking Conditions Index is a compilation of factors affecting trucking companies and has been rising steadily since October 2010. Any reading above zero indicates a healthy trucking environment. FTR forecasts that continued economic growth combined with the impact of new safety regulations will produce sufficient freight to stress capacity sustaining an upward trend for the TCI until mid-2012.

Kids and diabetes risk: Do chromosomes hold new clues?
Parents who are perplexed by their preschooler's dislike of vegetables may find help in a science-based video game that U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-funded scientists and their colleagues are creating for parents to play on smartphones.
When complete, "Kiddio: Food Fight!" will give parents of preschoolers a fun, interactive way to learn some of the best approaches for getting their kids to eat more vegetables, according to Tom Baranowski, who leads the team that is developing the app.
Baranowski is a research psychologist based at the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Children's Nutrition Research Center in Houston, Texas, and a professor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine, also in Houston. The college operates the nutrition center in cooperation with ARS, the USDA's chief intramural scientific research agency. Improving children's health and nutrition is a top USDA priority.
The game will offer users a series of short, interactive episodes that feature "Kiddio," an appealing preschooler who doesn't like vegetables. Parents can customize the game so that Kiddio's temperament matches that of their child.
In the course of each episode, parents will be able to select multiple options for influencing Kiddio's eating habits. Some choices create effective, "teachable moments," such as when the parent says, "That's a really tasty veggie." Other choices may express a perhaps ineffective "firm discipline" approach in which the parent tells Kiddio, "You will taste it before you leave the table!"
The videogame project, funded by ARS and a grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, will draw upon five studies that the Houston scientists have conducted over the past decade. These studies, involving thousands of parents, kids, and nutrition-related professionals, are examples of what has become known as "behavioral nutrition," a comparatively new scientific discipline that has roots in both psychology and nutrition.
Increasing the number of vegetable servings that children consume is thought by some experts to help reduce risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. Right now, most U.S. kids don't eat enough vegetables and fruits.
Baranowski is collaborating in the "Kiddio" research with nutrition center colleagues Janice C. Baranowski, Alicia Beltran, Leslie Frankel, Sheryl O. Hughes, Theresa A. Nicklaus, and Teresia M. O'Connor; Amy Shirong Lu, formerly at the Houston center and now with Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill.; and Richard Buday of Archimage, Inc., Houston. ARS researcher Deborah Thompson at Houston contributed to early stages of the project.
Peer-reviewed articles by Baranowski and colleagues about the use of videogames to improve kids' eating habits have been published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine and the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology.
