Meyers, a neurodevelopmental pediatrician with Geisinger Health System in Danville, Pa., wrote the AAP's new survey of research on managing the care of children with autism.

...president-elect Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. Elisa Carrio, presidential candidate of the Civic Coalition, who took 23% of the national vote to come in second, trounced Argentina's Senator and First Lady in the capital and other middle-class strongholds.
