621 Social Work Perspectives on Psychopathology (3)
This course allows students to identify and develop an understanding of the issues inherent in the study and assessment of individual behavior. The course reviews several explanations of causes of "abnormal" behavior and ways in which such behavior can be classified. One of the major tensions in this area is whether abnormal behavior is learned or has a physio-chemical basis.

Ethical dilemmas related to human sexuality are considered throughout the course.
989 Global Perspectives on Social and Administrative Practice (3)
This course will examine the need for international social work, given the global context and concerns. The course will also examine four perspectives, namely, global perspective, human rights perspective, ecological perspective and social development perspective, which are crucial for international social work practice.

Elliot Spindel, M.D., Ph.D.
- Email:
- click here
Normal lung and lung cancer synthesize and secrete acetylcho line, and express both nicotinic and muscarinic receptors. Multiple GWAS studies have now linked nicotinic receptors to increased risk of lung cancer. The Spindel laboratory focuses on the role of acetylcholine, nicotinic and muscarinic receptors in lung development and lung cancer. In lung cancer, acetylcholine secreted by lung cancers acts as an autocrine growth factor signaling through both nicotinic and muscarinic receptors and levels of acetylcholine are increased more than 100 fold in squamous cell lung carcinomas. In smokers, nicotine also directly stimulates lung cancer growth by interacting with nicotinic receptors expressed on lung cancer cells. The ability of cholinergic signaling to stimulate lung cancer growth suggests multiple targets to develop new lung cancer therapies. Our lab is actively investigating the potential of nicotinic and muscarinic antagonists to block lung cancer growth as well as characterizing molecular mechanisms by which cholinergic signaling stimulates cancer growth and development. In particular the alpha 3, alpha 5 and alpha7 nicotinic receptors have been linked to lung cancer growth as has the M3 muscarinic receptor. Another area of investigation is the role of the nicotinic receptor modulatory proteins such as lynx1 and lynx2 in lung cancer growth. The second major focus of the laboratory is to understand the role of nicotinic receptors in normal lung development and develop therapeutic approaches to block the effects of prenatal nicotine exposure on lung development. This is being pursued in clinical studies in conjunction with the OHSU pediatrics and maternal-fetal medicine departments, in studies in monkeys and transgenic mice and by electrophysiology of lung cells. The expression of multiple neurotransmitters by airway epithelium also suggests new targets for developing novel lung therapeutics. Eliot Spindel also directs the Primate Center Molecular Biology Core. Related to that, the lab is also involved in non-human primate genomics research.
Summary of Current Research
After receiving a B.S. from MIT, Eliot Spindel earned his M.D. from Harvard Medical School in 1980 and his Ph.D. in neuroendocrine regulation from MIT in 1982. He then went to Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital for four years of postdoctoral research in molecular endocrinology. In 1986, he was appointed an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, where he remained until his 1989 appointment to the Oregon National Primate Research Center as a scientist in the Division of Neuroscience and an associate professor of cell and developmental biology and anatomy in the OHSU School of Medicine. Dr. Spindel was promoted to Senior Scientist and Director of the ONPRC Molecular Biology Core in 1995.

Koh Chang Hotels
Chilled Koh Chang
Koh Chang is the second-largest island in Thailand, but it wasn't on anyone's radar until World War II, when a fight off the coast put it on the map, so to speak. The War Memorial Monument honours the naval battle. Today, ships still visit the island to escape the monsoon season. And travellers? They visit to just escape. ... Read more »
On your island escape, you can pretend you can command your own ship by renting a kayak on Kai Bae Beach and heading out to sea. Or venture beneath the clear water for a bit of diving at Ko Wai; either way the potential for a good time is large. How large? Well, the name Koh Chang means 'Elephant Island' – and while it has only been in the last decade that visitors have been coming in large numbers, the potential for enjoyment is as huge as an elephant!

'Requiem for lives lost': Making music from Mexico's guns
That crazy-looking flute in the above picture? Chances are it was a weapon in Mexico's drug war.
Or parts of it were, at least. Now those pieces make up one of 50 working musical instruments engineered from confiscated Mexican revolvers, shotguns, and machine guns that were once scheduled for public destruction.
Mexico City-based artist Pedro Reyes conceived of the project, titled "Imagine," as a statement on widespread gun violence in the country. … Read more

These boots are very comfortable right out of the box. Hands down the most wearable of any logger style boot I have ever owned. They did not however last nearly as long as one would expect. Mine were beyond worn out after only a year soles coming free leather cracked all they way through despite religious application of Obanauf''s Wax Still the exemplary comfort almost makes it worth it.

Antrobus Wins Decisive Match in Third Set as Crusaders Down Oakland
Saturday, March 29, 2008 Christine Antrobus (Fort Wayne, Ind./Homestead H.S.) won the decisive match in three sets on Saturday afternoon as Valparaiso won its home opener 4-3 against Oakland at the Valparaiso University Tennis Complex. The freshman rallied after dropping the opening set to post a 4-6, 6-1, 6-3 victory over Rebecca Hopkins at sixth singles as the Crusaders won for the second time in their last three outings on a cold, blustery afternoon. Valpo started strong in doubles to take the opening point. Oakland (1-7) won at the second spot as Amanda Scheer and Gabrielle Gogas defeated Kim Sajevic (Woodbury, Minn./Woodbury H.S.) and Julie Wingstrom (Dallas Lake, Ind./Westview H.S.) 8-6. Valpo's Lindsey Gustafson (Naperville, Ill./Benet Academy) and Laura Lawson (Thorntown, Ind./Western Boone H.S.) evened doubles with an 8-6 victory over Jackie Dinicu and Hopkins. Jenny Schwartz (Aurora, Ill./West Aurora H.S.) and Molly Keifer (Richmond, Ind./Richmond H.S.) clinched the point with a win by the same score at number one doubles against Michelle Maxfield and Lindsay Grimmer. Valpo extended the lead in singles as Wingstrom beat Dinicu 6-4, 6-2 at the fifth spot and Gustafson downed Gogas by the same score at number four singles to put the Crusaders one point away from victory. Oakland fought back, as Scheer defeated Schwartz 6-4, 6-1 at second singles and Maxfield topped Keifer 6-3, 6-3 at the third spot. Grimmer tied the match for the Golden Grizzlies at number one singles with a 6-3, 5-7, 6-2 three-set victory over Sajevic, setting the stage for the final contest. "We have worked hard the last couple of weeks and it is beginning to pay off," head coach Jay Adams said. "It was good to be playing at home even in the cold and I'm glad we could pull off the win." Valparaiso (2-5) will return to the courts on Tuesday afternoon as the Crusaders host IPFW. First serve is set for 3 p.m. at the Valparaiso University Tennis Complex. |

HOUSTON (AP) — Jack Brooks hounded government bureaucrats, drafted President Richard Nixon's articles of impeachment and supported civil rights bills in a congressional career spanning 42 years. But for most of the country the Southeast Texas politician is frozen in a photograph, standing over the left shoulder of Jacqueline Kennedy as Lyndon B. Johnson is sworn in as president.
Brooks, who died Tuesday at age 89, was in the Dallas motorcade on Nov. 22, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Hours later he stood behind the grief-stricken widow in the cabin of Air Force One as Johnson took the oath of office.
Brooks died at Baptist Hospital of Beaumont after a sudden illness surrounded by his family, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department said. Brooks would have turned 90 on Dec. 18.
Brooks was among the last links to an era when Democrats dominated Texas politics and was the last of ''Mr. Sam's Boys,'' protégés of fellow Texan and legendary 21-year Democratic House Speaker Sam Rayburn in the state's congressional delegation.
''I'm just like old man Rayburn,'' Brooks, from Beaumont, once said. ''Just a Democrat, no prefix or suffix.''
He also was a contemporary and supporter of Johnson, who was U.S. Senate majority leader in the 1950s.
Vice President Joe Biden, who served as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee while Brooks headed its counterpart in the House, said Brooks ''was a Texan through and through—tough, bold, and bigger than life. He lived by principles that were carved into his heart, and he was never afraid to fight for what he believed in.''
''We lost a great American, a great Texan, and a great Democrat,'' Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa said Wednesday. ''During his long and distinguished service he was a champion for working families and equal rights.
Brooks' secretary Dianna Coffey said a birthday party was planned for him next Friday, but he suddenly became ill Tuesday morning.
Coffey, who said she insisted Brooks stop coming to his office about five years ago, worked out of his home and spent weekends at his farm in Jasper, about 60 miles to the north.
When people would ask Brooks what he did in retirement, she said the plain-spoken Texan would reply: ''Pretty much what I damn well please.''
Brooks, first elected to the House in his far Southeast Texas district in 1952, was returned to office 20 more times. He was on the verge of becoming the dean of the U.S. House when he was ousted in the Republican revolution of 1994.
Rayburn, whose 48 years rivaled Brooks' House tenure, put Brooks on the House Government Operations Committee, a panel Brooks eventually would chair. Brooks gained notoriety as a curmudgeon-like scourge of bureaucrats he grilled for wasting taxpayers' money, peering at witnesses over his glasses as he chewed on a cigar.
''I never thought being a congressman was supposed to be an easy job, and it doesn't bother me a bit to be in a good fight,'' Brooks once said.
A Brooks-authored law required full and open competition to be the standard for awarding federal contracts. The 1965 Brooks Act set policy for the government's computer acquisition program, requiring competitive bidding and central management. His Inspector General Act established independent Offices of Inspector General in major agencies to prevent fraud and waste.
Other Brooks bills reduced federal paperwork, provided a uniform system of federal procurement, eliminated overlapping audit requirements and established the Department of Education.
''He literally has saved American taxpayers billions of dollars through his actions in improving government efficiency and eliminating waste,'' former Texas Gov. Dolph Briscoe, a longtime friend who died in 2010, said two years earlier when Brooks donated his congressional papers, photos, correspondence and other items to the Center for American History at the University of Texas.
Brooks also served on the House Judiciary Committee, where he strongly supported Nixon's impeachment and drafted the articles of impeachment the judiciary panel adopted. Nixon, who resigned Aug. 8, 1974, referred to Brooks as ''the executioner.''
Jack Bascom Brooks was born Dec. 18, 1922, in Crowley, La., and moved to Texas at age 5. While in public schools, he worked as a carhop, grocery clerk, magazine salesman and a reporter for the Beaumont Enterprise. He attended Lamar University in Beaumont, then a two-year school, and earned a degree in journalism from the University of Texas. He served with the Marines in the Pacific in World War II and retired as a colonel from the Marine Corps Reserves in 1972. He received a law degree from the University of Texas and was a two-term Texas state legislator when he was elected to the U.S. House at age 29.
He supported civil rights bills, refused to sign the segregationist ''Southern manifesto'' in 1956 and helped write the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964 that banned racial segregation.
His congressional longevity was an issue for him and other long-serving Democrats who were swept from office in 1994. Brooks also had alienated gun owners for supporting a ban on assault weapons and abortion opponents for his support of abortion rights.
Brooks married Charlotte Collins in 1960 and the couple had three children, Jeb Brooks, Kate Brooks Carroll and Kim Brooks, and two grandchildren, Matthew Carroll and Brooke Carroll.
Associated Press writer Christopher Sherman in McAllen contributed to this report.

VMware Cloud Architecture
Virtual Internet has created a hardware based cloud that is fully hardware and network redundant including redundant hardware firewalls.
The following features characterize the architecture:
- Divide and Rule: Operating as a single host it can be divided into several virtual machines on a one physical server
- Isolation: A better word is crash proof. Run several cloud vps machines side-by-side with no adverse affects on one another
- Cut-and-Paste: Also called encapsulation. Group all apps, operating systems and hardware configs into containers called virtual machines and move them from server to server quickly. This cool portability feature is only surpassed by the ease in which one can restore files
- Compatibility: These hypervisors do not require a guest operating system to communicate with the hardware. Instead, they can run on any x86 machine and use binary translation to ensure compatibility
Contact us
Our team is ISO 9001 and 27001 accredited as well as Prince2 and ITIL qualified to manage your move to the cloud with success and professionalism. Virtual Internet also offer fully managed cloud server options for companies that are looking to outsource some or all of the infrastructure maintenance.

John Keats (31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821 / London, England)
Spenserian Stanzas On Charles Armitage Brown
He is to weet a melancholy carle:
Thin in the waist, with bushy head of hair,
As hath the seeded thistle when in parle
It holds the Zephyr, ere it sendeth fair
Its light balloons into the summer air;
Therto his beard had not begun to bloom,
No brush had touch'd his chin or razor sheer;
No care had touch'd his cheek with mortal doom,
But new he was, and bright, as scarf from Persian loom.
Ne cared he for wine, or half-and-half;
Ne cared he for fish or flesh, or fowl;
And sauces held he worthless as the chaff;
He 'sdeigned the swine-head at the wassail-bowl;
Ne with lewd ribbalds sat he cheek by jowl;
Ne with sly Lemans in the scorner's chair;
But after water-brooks this Pilgrim's soul
Panted, and all his food was woodland air;
Though he would oft-times feast on gilliflowers rare.
The slang of cities in no wise he knew,
Tipping the wink to him was heathen Greek;
He sipp'd no 'olden Tom,' or 'ruin blue,'
Or Nantz, or cherry-brandy, drank full meek
By many a damsel brave, and rouge of cheek;
Nor did he know each aged watchman's beat,
Nor in obscured purlieus would he seek
For curled Jewesses, with ankles neat,
Who as they walk abroad, make tinkling with their feet.

Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - Gwinnett County Public Schools is seeking mentors for middle school boys involved in its Community-Based Mentoring Program.
Research shows successful mentoring programs result in increased student self-esteem, academic achievement, and social and leadership skills, as well as improved graduation rates. The school system started the Community-Based Mentoring Program last year. "I think there's a big need for it," mentor Tim White said. "So many, many boys ... absolutely need a male positive figure in heir lives." White, the father of an 11-year-old and owner of Tim's Rib Joint in Dacula, said he strived to build a positive relationship with his mentee, a student who attended Osborne Middle School in 2008-09. While he regularly talked to the boy about his grades, White planned several fun activities, such as camping or fishing trips. "One of my main things that I hope he takes away from it is an everlasting relationship," White said. "I'd like to see (him) be successful academically and in every facet in his life. If I can help him in any way, I'm here for him. That relationship will never go away. He'll still always have Tim to talk to if that's what he wants." Community members interested in becoming mentors can attend a training session from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the Instructional Support Center at 437 Old Peachtree Road N.W. in Suwanee. For more information or to register to attend, call James Rayford at 678-301-7321 or e-mail email@example.com or call Andrew Toney at 770-314-3614 or e-mail email@example.com like this story

Truly dog friendly. The only pet friendly hotel I have stayed in that does not charge extra for dogs (and we had 2 with us). They also don't hassle you with pet rules. I found the staff to be very friendly.

Recipe by VERDIEIIIS
"This is my first time using this site. I saw your request and remembered my Grandma's church cook book from 1960. Hope you'll enjoy it."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/4 cup tarragon vinegar
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 bunches green onions
1 bunch fresh parsley
2 (2 ounce) cans anchovy filets
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 lemon, juiced
2 cups mayonnaise
I know that some of you think I shouldn't rate this a 5 because I did change it a bit - but it was such a good starting place and the changes were minor: cut back on the anchovies, and didn't have tarragon vinegar, so used white wine vinegar and added 1/2 tsp dried tarragon. My husband and I were reintroduced to Green Goddess at a new restaurant in town that highlights 40s and 50-style restaurant food - baked ham, great steaks (peppered steak with brandy sauce), wonderful meatloaf, Stroganoff - the kinds of food I remember being on the menu when my folks took us to "fancy" restaurants, but "kicked up" for the new century. Anyway, we tried the Green Goddess, and my husband was hooked - and this one is better than at the restaurant. Can't wait until summer so I can use fresh tarragon from the garden!
I followed the recipe exactly and all I could taste were achovies. The sauce was a bit runny but could be easily fixed. We threw the whole batch away. If I made again i'd use half the anchovies.
28 Ratings
This is an excellent, easy recipe for those who like a good garlic/scallion flavor to their dressing. Easy and tasty!
Very good! It was exactly the taste I was looking for. Thanks.
So sad that I could not find tarragon vinegar or fresh or dried tarragon so I just used White Wine vinegar. I only used 1/3 a cup because the first time I made it I felt it was too bitter. I added another garlic and used 1 1/2 of the green onions. Also I only used 1 anchovy as they were extra fishy. I love anchovies and the more the better but these were just not that great.. I have to say with all that it was still amazing and delicious. I used Mayo light and you can't even tell the difference.. I live in South Africa and have a all girl get together tomorrow I can't wait for my girlfriends taste my Green Goddess YAY thank you so much.. It is also always better the next day
An excellent Green Goddess, not too harsh with the scallions like some of them are, and I used the fresh tarragon with white vinegar mentioned by another user instead of tarragon vinegar--I had fresh tarragon leftover from another recipe, so why waste it? I didn't have any problems with the anchovies being salty, but I soaked them for an hour in a couple of cups each of water and white wine.
This was incredible! Maybe the best dressing i've ever had. Thanks for the new recipe.
Served this over caesar salad...very strong but tasty! Good for garlic and onion lovers at least, will possibly try it in a pasta salad next time.

Downtown businesses in Cedaredge have come up with the idea for a unique promotional event pointing out that the Main Street reconstruction work won't be closing down retail trade.
Along with the Cedaredge Area Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Cedaredge, the businesses are planning some block party festivities and an official ground-breaking to start the West Main Street improvements project.
Called the Back Door Block Party, the main message is that local businesses will remain open during the summer-long street work, and that if their front door accesses are obstructed during the work, there are back door entrances to businesses that customers can conveniently use.
The events will begin at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 27, on Main Street with a ground-breaking ceremony.
Block party events are planned to begin at 5 p.m. and continue to 7 p.m.
The first phase of West Main Street improvements will reconstruct the downtown area from Grand Mesa Drive (Highway 65) to NW 3rd Street. Work will cause some disruptions for business accesses onto Main Street. But, says Vaughn Duckworth of DreamWeaver, businesses will remain open and many have access through back doors that open onto the big public parking area.

Walking alongside her old king, Esty helped inspect the remaining adventurer and alchemist stands and shops, taking a break from her own participation. Walking down the streets, seeing a multitude of loving couples browsing the wares… she sighed, reminded of her own single status despite her age.
"Something the matter?" Gio asked.
"Oh, no, not really," uttered Esty, her attention snapping back to the task at hand. All of the competitors seemed to be managing their shops wisely, so it was an easy enough job… until arriving at Astrid's location.
Astrid was arguing with Sterk, the latter of whom could be heard saying something about "my pupil" and "who ties people up," seemingly at his wit's end with the smug alchemist. Of course the last stop would be the most problematic, Esty lamented.
"What's going on here?"
"Ah, if it isn't our dear old maid," Astrid remarked, enjoying the fleeting look of irritation that crossed Esty's face. "There's absolutely nothing to see here, move along."
Sterk quickly turned to face Esty, explaining the situation. As his explanation continued on longer and longer, Esty's expression turned to a frown as she realized action would need to be taken against the black-haired woman across from her.
"Look, Astrid. In accordance with competition rules, I'm going to have to ask you to – "
"Hey, Esty, remember that time you went looking for that hot spring? You know… the one that would supposedly make you look younger?" Astrid inquired, a mischievous look gleaming in her eyes.
"…Yes," answered a hesitant Esty.
"You weren't quite as alone as you thought you were there, seeing as I have some choice photographs from that occasion." Astrid watched as Esty's eyes widened, a look of both confusion and panic present. "I bet there would be some people who wouldn't mind seeing these pictures…"
"Stop, no!" A pause. "…What do you want from me?" Esty finally asked, tipping the balance of power to Astrid.
"Oh, I don't know… I might reconsider spreading these photos if you just forget about everything you saw over here today. And if you could just sit back more during the contest, that'd be great."
It wasn't her proudest moment, but Esty agreed to Astrid's wishes. The alchemist's laughter echoed in her ears as Esty admitted a temporary defeat.
It is now Day 6. This phase will end on January 26 at 10:00 PM EST. You may now vote.
