As usual, I don't place too much emphasis on this sort of forecast, but to the extent that I make any comments
at all about the outlook for 2006, the bottom line
is this: 1) we can't rule out modest potential for stock appreciation, which would require the maintenance or expansion of already
high price / peak earnings multiples; 2) we also should recognize an uncomfortably large potential for market losses, particularly given that the current bull market has now outlived the median and average bull, yet
at higher valuations than most bulls have achieved, a flat yield curve with rising interest rate pressures, an extended period of internal divergence as measured by breadth and other market action, and complacency
at best and excessive bullishness
at worst, as measured by various sentiment indicators; 3) there
is a moderate but still not compelling
risk of an oncoming recession, which would become more of a factor if we observe a substantial widening of credit spreads and weakness in the ISM Purchasing Managers Index in the
months ahead, and; 4) there remains substantial potential for U.S. dollar weakness coupled with «unexpectedly» persistent inflation pressures, particularly if we do observe economic weakness.

The prone or side sleep position can increase the
risk of rebreathing expired gases, resulting in hypercapnia and hypoxia.54, — , 57 The prone position also increases the
risk of overheating by decreasing the rate of heat loss and increasing body temperature compared with infants sleeping supine.58, 59 Recent evidence suggests that prone sleeping alters the autonomic control of the infant cardiovascular system during sleep, particularly
at 2 to 3
months of age, 60 and can result in decreased cerebral oxygenation.61 The prone position places infants
at high risk of SIDS (odds ratio [OR]: 2.3 — 13.1).62, — , 66 However, recent studies have demonstrated that the SIDS
risks associated with side and prone position
are similar in magnitude (OR: 2.0 and 2.6, respectively) 63 and that the population - attributable
risk reported for side sleep position
is higher than that for prone position.65, 67 Furthermore, the
risk of SIDS
is exceptionally
high for infants who
are placed on their side and found on their stomach (OR: 8.7).63 The side sleep position
is inherently unstable, and the probability of an infant rolling to the prone position from the side sleep position
is significantly greater than rolling prone from the back.65, 68 Infants who
are unaccustomed to the prone position and
are placed prone for sleep
are also
at greater
risk than those usually placed prone (adjusted OR: 8.7 — 45.4).63, 69,70 Therefore, it
is critically important that every caregiver use the supine sleep position for every sleep period.
A recent meta - analysis of 11 studies that investigated the association of bed - sharing and SIDS revealed a summary OR of 2.88 (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.99 — 4.18) with bed - sharing.158 Furthermore, bed - sharing in an adult bed not designed for infant safety exposes the infant to additional
risks for accidental injury and death, such as suffocation, asphyxia, entrapment, falls, and strangulation.159, 160 Infants, particularly those in the first 3
months of life and those born prematurely and / or with low birth weight,
are at highest risk, 161 possibly because immature motor skills and muscle strength make it difficult to escape potential threats.158 In recent years, the concern among public health officials about bed - sharing has increased, because there have

high -
risk sleep environments, particularly bed - sharing and / or sleeping on a couch or armchair.162, — , 165

Influenza remains a major health problem in the United States, resulting each year in an estimated 36,000 deaths and 200,000 hospitalizations.4 Those who have
been shown to
be at high risk for the complications of influenza infection
are children 6 to 23
months of age; healthy persons 65 years of age or older; adults and children with chronic diseases, including asthma, heart and lung disease, and diabetes; residents of nursing homes and other long - term care facilities; and pregnant women.4 It
is for this reason that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that these groups, together with health care workers and others with direct patient - care responsibilities, should
be given priority for influenza vaccination this season in the face of the current shortage.1 Other
high - priority groups include children and teenagers 6
months to 18 years of age whose underlying medical condition requires the daily use of aspirin and household members and out - of - home caregivers of infants less than 6
months old.1 Hence, in the case of vaccine shortages resulting either from the unanticipated loss of expected supplies or from the emergence of greater - than - expected global influenza activity — such as pandemic influenza, which would prompt a greater demand for vaccination5 — the capability of extending existing vaccine supplies by using alternative routes of vaccination that would require smaller doses could have important public health implications.
