MAFP Courses
Sample Course Listing ONLY
Below are MAFP courses typically offered at the Graduate School of Professional Psychology. This list is not exhaustive, nor is it meant to be a list of required courses. Courses and course descriptions often change. Students are provided current course lists in their student Handbook when they matriculate.
Welcome to Forensic Psychology boot camp! In your first year in the program, MAFP students go from having generally little clinical experience to having a solid working knowledge of clinical theory and how it applies to the field of forensic mental health.
Below you will find descriptions of the principal courses first‐year students
use to supplement their field placement work. Each course in the sequence is designed to enhance your understanding and mastery of the core Foundational and Functional Competencies upon which the program is based.
Get ready — clinical training in forensic psychology is challenging, exciting, and life‐changing.
Professionalism and Practice I (First‐Year Case Conference)
What are the components of a risk assessment? What is it really like behind bars in a women's prison? Who are the key players in a parental rights and responsibility hearing, and what happens after the courtroom doors are closed? How do forensic psychologists work effectively with registered sex offenders, juveniles in diversion, and felons court‐ordered to substance abuse treatment ‐‐ and stay safe doing it? How reliable is
"eye witness" testimony, and why does it matter who is on a jury, any way?
The 3‐quarter first‐year Professionalism and Practice sequence helps students orient themselves to the MAFP program and begin the process of developing their professional, ethical, and clinical skills. Serving as a supplement to students' academic and field placement experiences, these courses assist students in making the linkages between their academic materials and their field placement experiences. Within a small group setting, students gain a broader awareness and understanding of the interaction between psychology and the legal and criminal justice systems and clarify their roles as evaluators and consultants to attorneys, judges, and criminal justice personnel. Ethical and clinical considerations within the legal and criminal justice settings will be explored. In addition, students will address the cultural issues impacting their work with this population.
The first quarter serves as an introduction to working with forensic populations, including practice standards, self‐care, transference/countertransference dynamics, and systemic issues. Students will get a sense of the depth and breadth of forensic practice through courtroom observation and a prison tour.
In the second quarter, students continue their discussion of the interface between psychology and the law. Emphasis will be on cultural/diversity issues that impact clinical and forensic practice. By the end of this quarter students should be familiar with terms such as cultural competency and diversity and able to integrate these into a
coherent theoretical framework, as well as apply them to clinical forensic work.
In the third and final quarter of the first‐year sequence, the emphasis shifts to forensic assessment. Students will be exposed to a variety of forensic assessment tools as well as methods of conducting a forensic assessment. Professionals from the law enforcement and psychological communities will also offer their perspectives on assessment.
Introduction to Clinical Interviewing and Psychotherapy
The practice of therapy is at once an art, and a science. The process of becoming a therapist is both a process of learning and of experiencing. No one is born knowing how to ask questions in a Clinical Intake, or what interventions might work with a client who is suffering from panic attacks, or what to do if a client asks a personal question in session. This "high anxiety/low stakes" course provides an overview of foundational interviewing and therapy concepts so that fledgling practitioners can try out their clinical "wings" in a
classroom and small group environment. Emphasis is placed on experiential exercises designed to assist students in learning and practicing basic techniques essential for effective, ethical, and culturally‐aware clinical work and report writing.
Forensic Mental Health: The Basics (Forensic Psychology I)
You've read the articles, watched the news, and seen the high‐profile interviews. You KNOW forensic psychology is the field for you. There's only one problem . . . you're not entirely sure what forensic psychology IS. Fear not. In this course you will learn the ropes of "real world" forensic practice (forget CSI!) from the professionals who do it for a living. Become fluent in the language of the field, understand the structure and workings of the American criminal and civil legal systems (with an emphasis on Colorado law), including expert testimony, rules of evidence, and the neuropsychology of violence and aggression, and start taking the first steps toward finding the professional niche that's right for you. Other substantive areas of study include polygraph and plethysmograph testing, trial consultation and inequities within the justice system.
Forensic Mental Health: The Front LinesLaw Enforcement and Correctional Psychology (Forensic Psychology II)
This course focuses on the application of forensic mental health concepts to correctional settings (jails, prisons, and other detention facilities) and law enforcement (including police work and investigations on the local, state, and national levels). Students will understand the basics of context‐specific assessment and offender management, as well as the dynamics of working in the correctional system. Special topics include working with incarcerated individuals with developmental differences, women, and those with terminal
illnesses; malingering detection; and hostage negotiation.
Forensic Mental Health: Risky Business (Forensic Psychology III)
Forensic psychologists work in a world of risk assessment, management, and prevention. Suicide, homicide, interpersonal violence, child abuse, and domestic terrorism are all unfortunate and tragic realities in the field of forensic mental health. This course shows students the tools for recognizing and addressing "red flag" behavior in different settings and with a variety of populations.
Group Interventions
This course exposes students to basic elements of the group intervention process, ethical and professional issues unique to group work, and key concepts and techniques of group therapy/intervention. Specific learning objectives include: attaining an understanding of the theory and functioning of groups; gaining knowledge and practice in essential group therapy skills; identifying integral points and considerations for working with various forensic client populations; and developing an awareness of one's own impact on group contexts.
Hypothesis: Ice cream causes drowning. Mastery of this course will enable to students to understand what types of errors could lead to this conclusion, and will provide a basic grounding in descriptive and inferential statistics. General topics to be addressed include parametric vs. nonparametric statistics, use of SPSS and interpretation of output, statistical assumptions, types of distributions, and basic statistical procedures. Check
your fear of math at the door; this class is largely conceptual and requires only basic mathematical skills.
Research Methods
Recent news stories have highlighted the experiences of defendants who have spent years in prison and later been exonerated through new DNA analysis. In some cases, the defendant's conviction was based on flawed assumptions and erroneous conclusions. How and why do errors like these occur in forensic contexts? How can practitioners and researchers use empirical data to understand forensic evidence and draw more accurate
conclusions? Designed to increase students' understanding of the scientific method and research methodologies, this course provides a review and critique of psychological research, epistemology, design and method, with a focus on forensic and clinical populations. This course will assist students in developing the critical thinking and analysis skills necessary to debunk statistical fallacies and make sense of both the research literature and the evidence they will encounter as practitioners.
Issues in Measurement
In this course, students will apply their hard‐won critical thinking and analytical skills (see above!) to psychological and forensic assessment, with an emphasis on validity, reliability and issues of standardization. This course focuses on the measurement of different variables in clinical and research settings. Lectures will cover the historical bases of assessment and measure design and will also highlight contemporary approaches
to testing. The course, with its lecture and discussion format, will provide exposure to recent social criticisms and ethical concerns surrounding psychological testing. The importance of sensitivity to the needs of special, or underrepresented, populations will be an integral component of the material presented. The objective of this course is to provide students with the tools and information necessary to make informed and ethical
testing choices in their chosen practice settings.
Adult Psychopathology and Diagnosis
This course looks at our understanding of the continuum of mental health through different conceptual lenses, including the DSM and other ways of capturing individual experiences in this area. Includes a review of principal categories of clinical disorders as well as those most frequently seen in forensic settings. Students will recognize the strengths and limitations of formal diagnosis as a tool in clinical practice, as well as the
importance of seeing the person behind the label. Emphasis will be placed on understanding mental well being in context, taking into account cultural relevancy and the evolution of diagnoses over time.
Trauma and Crisis Intervention
What does it mean to be a survivor? What role does trauma play in forensic work? And how can clinicians in forensic settings best address the unique and universal issues facing those who have lived through these experiences? This course is designed to provide students with an overview of the key issues associated with trauma and crisis intervention, including how to conceptualize trauma and different approaches to treatment. Additionally, the course will address forensic and other special issues associated with the field of trauma.
Profiles in Crime: The Psychology of Criminal Behavior
Why do killers kill? This course presents an analysis of high‐profile criminals and showcases the empirical and theoretical data to support prevailing conceptualizations of criminality, including biological, psychological, social, and environmental causes and correlates of violent and criminal behavior. Violence and criminal behavior will be viewed as an evolving construct that may begin in childhood and endure through adolescence and into adulthood. Contemporary issues including terrorism, racial profiling, and gender debates will also be highlighted. Students will be provided with the tools necessary to determine future directions for policy, prevention, and treatment that may help ameliorate the causes and outcomes of crime and violence.
Don't like this course? So sue me! (Conflict Resolution in Forensic Practice and Real Life)
This course will examine five ways of resolving conflicts that are relevant to forensic psychology: force, litigation, psychological consultation, negotiation, and science/critical thinking. Advantages and disadvantages of each method will be discussed (hint: litigation is NOT always the best solution), and situations and strategies well‐suited for each will be identified. There will be some emphasis on status and gender as identity goals. Students will practice intervening in interpersonal conflicts, and develop some awareness of their own style in conflict and their own style in intervention.
By the start of your second year of the program, MAFP students have a solid grounding in the basics of forensic theory and practice. Now things really get exciting, with coursework in a variety of applied topics ranging from assessment to substance abuse.

Professionalism and Practice II (Second‐Year Case Conference)
This 3‐quarter sequence is designed to be the capstone experience of forensic training, with students working collaboratively toward reaching developmental goals as they make the transition to mental health practitioner. Course goals include: Enhancing understanding of theory and practice in the field of psychology and, specifically, the forensic arena; applying knowledge gained throughout the program to practical clinical situations, ethical dilemmas, and "real world" dynamics; understanding the importance of
professionalism, collaboration, and integrity in the pursuit of a career in this field; and allowing an opportunity for reflection upon and integration of clinical and didactic experiences during the course of training.
Ethical Issues in Forensic Psychology
Discussion of ethical and legal conflicts and dilemmas as a psychologist within the legal system, and consideration of ways to resolve such conflicts, including standards applicable to the science and practice of forensic psychology and the role of the expert witness.
Cognitive Assessment
This course teaches clinicians‐in‐training to apply their theoretical backgrounds (in test construction, test use, and various psychological orientations) to assessment problems that involve subjects' cognitive functioning. The role of intelligence in understanding why people behave as they do will be explored, along with the legal issues that interface with cognitive functioning, including testamentary capacity, testimonial competence, and waivers of Miranda rights. Current cognitive assessment measures will be emphasized, along with forensic assessment and Bayes' Theorem.
Self Report Assessment
The purpose of this course is to provide a solid foundation for approaching objective personality assessment in a considered, effective, and ethical way. It will cover the underpinnings of objective assessment. It will also provide working knowledge of psychological tests, specifically the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI‐2), the most widely used personality inventory in the United States, and the MMPI‐A (adolescent version), as well as the NEW MMPI‐2‐RF. Students will learn to
interpret the MMPI through practice protocols. Students will also learn about the PAI, MCMI, TOMM and other objective measures. The course will emphasize the forensic use of objective assessment through relevant case examples. This foundation will provide an appreciation of the issues and techniques involved in objective personality assessment in psychology.
Projective Assessment
Take a moment to look at the floor beneath you. Do you see a pattern in the wood, tile, or carpet? Look at the ceiling, or the sky ‐‐ what shapes and images can you find? What do you see? More importantly, what does it all mean? In all likelihood, absolutely nothing.
However, there are legitimate, well‐researched, and valid ways of tapping into projective material ‐‐ ways of understanding how individuals process, integrate, and respond to the world that may not be readily available through other means. This course integrates the interpretation of narrative material (and other responses to standardized, ambiguous stimuli) with the assessment of individuals. Students will learn to administer and interpret Early Memories and the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT). Over‐interpretive
pitfalls will be identified and avoided. There will be a focus on producing a professionally written, clinically sound assessment report.
Sociocultural Issues in Forensic Psychology
John Culkin said, "We don't know who discovered water, but we're certain it wasn't a fish." To the practice of forensic psychology, each of us brings his or her own set of individual experiences, beliefs, and views on life. We bring our highest selves: our passion, our hard work, our integrity, and our most noble dreams. We also, invariably, bring our worst selves: our "blind spots," our anxieties, our misconceptions, and our prejudice. As practitioners in a field trusted to explore the limits of human potential and human frailty, we recognize that the costs of ignorance in the arena of cultural awareness is unacceptably high. Rarely, however, do we have the opportunity to take a step back and explore the dynamics of oppression within society, within our profession, and within ourselves—to "see the water," as it were. The goal of this course is to begin the process of reflection and grow in our ability to tolerate ambiguity around issues of profound importance to our clinical practices and personal lives; to question preexisting understandings about how
life "is" or "is not"; and to consider with humility, respect, and an open mind perspectives different from our own.
Family Law
This course is designed to provide students with a basic grounding in family law, one of the "hot topics" in forensic practice. In this course, students will understand the procedures and governing substantive law in the areas that require the use of psychological experts. The class will focus on the roles of mental health professionals in three areas of family law. First, we will cover divorce and custody, including the use of custody evaluators, child and family investigators, parenting time coordinators, parenting time supervisors and therapists for parties undergoing the dissolution process. Second, we will cover the use of
psychological experts for adoption and in the areas of dependency and neglect and child protection. Third, we will survey the areas of probate law, which often require the determination of psychological facts. The focus in all of these areas is to provide students with background to allow them to provide services to the court and clients involved in family law cases including the writing of reports and testifying in court.
Mental Health Law
The goal of this introductory Mental Health Law course is to provide students with a general understanding of the laws impacting the field of mental health, including those involving professional responsibility and ethics; competency issues; court‐ordered evaluations and testimony; placement; the rights of differently‐abled persons; and defenses based on mental state. Course Objectives include assisting students in locating, understanding, and interpreting laws relevant to the mental health practitioner; recognizing potential legal and ethical dilemmas faced in forensic practice; and applying the principles of mental health law to offer the highest standard of care in their clinical practices.
Evaluation and Treatment of the Juvenile Offender
This course examines the unique opportunities and challenges facing practitioners who work with children in forensic settings. Includes an overview of the juvenile justice system, child development theories, and intervention strategies, as well as practical information about working with children, parents, and the broader justice system as a whole.
Evaluation and Treatment of the Adult Offenders
Psychological theories related to etiology, development and prediction of violent crime; types of intervention possible within the criminal justice setting. Topic areas may include special offender populations (e.g. sexual offender, offenders with developmental disabilities or those classified as mentally retarded, female offenders).
Cognitive Behavioral Interventions
Considered the "gold standard" of treatment in many forensic contexts, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) covers a broad skills set applicable in a variety of treatment settings. This dynamic course addresses the principal theories, techniques, and research relating to CBT, focusing on assessment, case conceptualization and intervention approaches within a forensic setting. Includes an overview of Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Theory (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and other applied topics.
Substance Abuse: Theory and Treatment
According to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates, the use of illicit drugs and alcohol impacts tens of millions of Americans and costs taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars in related costs on an annual basis. Unsurprisingly, substance use and abuse issues play a significant role in forensic mental health practice, as well. The objectives of this course are to provide an introduction to the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of substance abuse and related disorders; to become familiar with the dynamics
and etiology of substance abuse; to identify psychometric tools used in the evaluation of substance abuse; and to review evidence‐based treatment methods and their application to forensic populations.
Criminal Evaluations
This course will provide an overview of criminal assessment topics, with an emphasis on the literature, theory, procedure, and tools, including criminal violence, risk assessment, legal competencies, and criminal responsibility.

A frequency specialist is a demanding and challenging position that is part of the communications technology career path in the military. This is an enlisted service position that involves working with telecommunications equipment in order to gather and communicate information. Relaying information among air and ground troops is an important aspect of military security, and specialists are needed in order to collect, organize, and interpret intelligence regarding the welfare of aircraft and weapons. Radio specialists are dispatched all over the world at various secure locations during both peacetime and war.
Holding a position in the military can be very rewarding and teaches valuable skills such as discipline, leadership, and teamwork.
Sokanu matches you to one of over 500 careers by analyzing your personality, interests, and needs in life. Take the free assessment now to see your top career recommendations!
A frequency specialist is usually specialized in radar operations. They work with radios, telephones, antennas, satellites, security, and network devices. Similar specialists will work with sonar, which deals with sound waves, instead of radar.
Some general duties of a radar specialist include but are not limited to:
Frequency specialists are essential for collecting information on aircraft, such as speed, location, and direction. This information is collected for both friendly and enemy targets, and it is very important to manage it accurately in case there is an impending attack incoming and the base has to enter defensive positions. This information is gathered using communications equipment, which allows the user to detect and track incoming objects. Forces on the ground and on the air are then alerted of the conditions as well as of emergency circumstances.
Because this is a military position, a legal agreement called an enlistment contract must be signed prior to enrollment. This outlines a commitment to the forces for a certain number of years, dependent on the recruiting circumstances. It is typically around 4-6 years.
Signing this contract is an acceptance of the military lifestyle. Members understand that they will frequently be away from family, friends, and home for an extended amount of time, excluding vacation time and leave. Included in this contract is also access to multiple benefits and bonuses for being a member of the military, provided that the member serves the entire term and meets expectations.
Excellent physical condition is required, as an enrollment requirement is to pass a general physical examination. In addition, radio specialists will be required to maintain wiring systems that may require heavy physical efforts. Working in this career will require candidates to be able to concentrate for long periods of time, work under stress, and pay close attention to details. Something major like distinguishing an enemy aircraft from an ally aircraft can save human lives. Technical and communications skills are a must, as frequency specialists will also often be directing aircraft on their flight paths and positions.
There is no post-secondary education required for this position. Persons must be 18 years old or 17 years old with parental consent in order to enroll in the forces. A high school diploma or equivalent, such as a GED, is required to enter this position. Basic training takes around 2 months, which is then followed by 4 months of technical training for this occupation. During the basic training period, a military examination called the ASVAB test will be taken by all trainees in order to determine the correct field for them. Scoring high points in the Surveillance and Communications criterion is needed in order to pursue this position.
Technical training involves a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on practice, all provided by the military. Skills learned during this training include operation and maintenance of radar equipment, line installation, wiring techniques, field tactics, and combat communications strategy.
Although not required, iIt would be beneficial to have some interest in math, science, electronics, and computer science, as these fields are very relevant to this career path. All of these subjects can be studied at any two- or four-year post-secondary institution and may prove beneficial for those seeking to advance to leadership ranks.
Frequency specialists are located both domestically and abroad. They typically work indoors in very high security locations, such as operation centers, command posts, and mobile fields. Specialists may work either on land or on aircraft, and sometimes are dispatched as units to a particular location.
This can be a stressful environment, as oftentimes a specialist is responsible for monitoring high priority aircraft and missiles and must gather delicate intelligence. Personnel must abide by military rules during all times, and working hours can be less than desirable and unpredictable.
The average salary of a specialist is roughly $55,000 annually. This can vary based on position and experience.
Because this is a military position, a specialist's earnings also include military benefits. Examples of some military benefits are housing arrangements, living allowances, bonus pays, cost of living adjustments, and other bonuses.

Stop Motion Wall Painting Is Pretty Impressive
This is an artistic stop motion video made entirely of wall paintings. It's pretty damn impressive. It made me kind of motion sick, but that was a small price to pay for the incredible awesomeness. A freaking ton of time, effort and ability went into this piece. Almost as much as my last artistic venture, which was a can of orange juice concentrate I glued popsicle sticks to and wrote on in puffy paint. I gave it to my mom for Mother's Day. I tried calling her to see if she liked it, but I think she's blocked my number.

Re: Rob Zombie Movies?
kaveman1969 on Tuesday, February 9, 2010 - 11:55pmIt's all in what you like Trish. I used to find Rosemary's Baby boring too, then I started to notice the subtle way she was being set up as the mother of Satans child.
Little things. I watch it any time it's on now, I love it. Feel bad for her, but at the end when she's rocking the baby, it's actually kind of cool that she's kind of accepting him.
He may be Satans son, but he's also her baby, so you can see how she'd kind of be forced to love him, regardless of the fact that he is demon spawn,lol. No worries though, I think movies suck that others love. Like I said, all in what you like.:)

This procedure is often used to treat uterine fibroids, a common type of benign (non-cancerous) tumor that develops within the uterine wall. Uterine fibroids occur in up to one third of all women and are actually the leading cause of hysterectomies.1 Uterine fibroids occur in 20–40% of all women during their reproductive years.1
Uterine fibroids may grow as a single tumor or in clusters. They often increase in size and frequency with age but may also revert in size after menopause. While not all women with fibroids experience them, symptoms may include excessive menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain and infertility.
Download a FREE brochure to learn about robotic procedures offered at GMC–Duluth.
Uterine fibroid treatment A common alternative to hysterectomy for fibroids is myomectomy—the surgical removal of fibroid tumors and a procedure considered standard-of-care for removing fibroid tumors while preserving the uterus. It therefore may be recommended for women who wish to become pregnant. Myomectomy is most often performed through a large abdominal incision.
After removing each fibroid, the surgeon repairs the uterus to minimize potential bleeding, infection and scarring. Proper repair is critical to reducing the risk of uterine rupture during a future pregnancy.
Uterine fibroid embolization is a newer noninvasive treatment in which blood vessels to the uterus are blocked. Another approach, laparoscopic myomectomy, is a minimally invasive surgery but is usually not an option for women with large fibroids, multiple fibroids or fibroids in difficult to reach areas.
Robotic myomectomy This is robotic surgery is less invasive surgical procedure designed to preserve the uterus. Using the da Vinci® robot, robotic myomectomy enables surgeons to perform this delicate operation with unmatched precision, vision and control using only a few small incisions. There are several benefits to minimally invasive surgery over an open abdominal surgery, including:
Watch the da Vinci system demonstrate its precision by folding origami.

Request a FREE educational and testimonial DVD about robotic hysterectomies in the mail from Gwinnett Medical Center–Duluth.
As with any surgical procedure, these benefits cannot be guaranteed as surgery is both patient and procedure specific.

Fabric roller shades show rise in popularityJul 14 2010 Fabric roller shades show rise in popularity One such abode is a four-bedroom home in Lancaster, California. This one story house features a wealth of environmentally conscious amenities both inside and out. The builders included recycled carpeting, rain water collection tanks, LED lighting and programmable thermostats. The roof even has a series of solar panels that can provide up to 6,800 kilowatt-hours each year. One way for homeowners to go green without completely renovating their house is to hang fabric roller shades. Industry experts say that these shades are made from PVC-free material, which is essential because PVC can be harmful to not only people, but to the earth. "Because so many different additives are used to make PVC, recycling the plastic (or material) is extremely difficult," reports eco-cycle.org Fabric roller shades also serve a functional purpose. Because they effectivly filter sunlight, they can prevent harmful UV rays from damaging furniture and harming the occupants inside. Related Products

Conservation of a species is complicated by human needs and wants for products that use those species. Sustainability is the concept that current needs may be met without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their needs. What human needs or wants are met by the harvesting of seahorses? What where some of the economic considerations that you needed to understand? What where some of the cultural considerations that you needed to understand? What actions can you personally take to save the seahorses? What actions could your class take to save the seahorses?

October 23, 2001 SMU TO HOST SYMPOSIUM ON STANLEY KUBRICK FILMSDALLAS (SMU) -- Southern Methodist Universitys Department of English in Dedman College will host a symposium on the films of Stanley Kubrick as part of the Hughes Lecture Series at 3:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26, in McCord Auditorium, Room 306 Dallas Hall, 3225 University Blvd. The symposium is free and open to the public. Wake Forest University English Professor Philip Kuberski will present a lecture titled Plumbing the Abyss: Stanley Kubricks Bathrooms. University of California Rhetoric Professor Frederick Dolan will present The Metaphysics of Sexual Love: From Schopenhauer to Kubrick. Both professors are editing a volume of new essays on Stanley Kubrick to be published by Cambridge University Press in 2002. The volume is the first wide-ranging examination since Kubricks death in 1999 of the late film directors cultural significance. The Hughes Lecture Series is supported by the D. E. Hughes endowment, which supports visits by three to five scholars, novelists and poets each year for the enrichment of the humanities at SMU. Parking is available in the parking garage at Airline Road and Daniel Avenue. |

Kingdom | Phylum | Class | Order | Family |
Scientific Name: | Ensatina eschscholtzii | |||
Species Authority: | Gray, 1850 | |||
Common Name/s:
Taxonomic Notes: | This polytypic, ring species includes taxa that form a semicomplex of more than one species. |
Red List Category & Criteria: | Least Concern ver 3.1 |
Year Published: | 2004 |
Date Assessed: | 2008-01-01 |
Assessor/s: | Geoffrey Hammerson, Gabriela Parra-Olea, David Wake |
Reviewer/s: | Global Amphibian Assessment Coordinating Team (Simon Stuart, Janice Chanson, Neil Cox and Bruce Young) |
Justification: Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category. |
Range Description: | This species ranges from southwestern British Columbia in Canada, south through the Coastal Ranges of the USA to extreme northwestern Baja California and the Sierra San Pedro Martir, Baja California in Mexico (Mahrdt et al. 1998); and along the western slopes of Cascade Range and Sierra Nevada in California in the USA. It is absent from Sacramento-San Joaquin valley, California. It occurs as a large number of separate subspecies. The subspecies E. e. klauberi occurs in the Sierra San Pedro Martir, Baja California, Mexico, above 2,000m asl. It occurs from sea level up to elevations of about 2,350m asl (Stebbins 1985). See Moritz et al. (1992) for a general but up-to-date distribution map. |
Countries: | Native: Canada; Mexico; United States |
Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | In the USA and Canada the total adult population size is unknown but probably exceeds 100,000. Its population appears to be stable. It is a rare species in Mexico, there have been only a few observations, but they are still found. |
Population Trend: | Decreasing |
Habitat and Ecology: | This species can be found in the north: Douglas-fir/maple forests, forest clearings. In coastal areas, redwood forest, chaparral, oak woodland, canyons. Sierra Nevada: pine-oak-incense cedar forests. In dry or cold weather: in caves, underground, in rotting logs. Eggs are laid underground, or under the bark of or within rotting logs (Stebbins 1985), where they develop directly without a larval stage. E. e. klauberi lives in mixed conifer forest and lays its eggs on the ground. |
Systems: | Terrestrial |
Major Threat(s): | In moist climates, ensatinas tolerate intensive forestry practices fairly well, but in drier climates recently logged areas have lower population densities than do old growth forests, presumably reflecting moisture differences (see Petranka 1998). In Mexico the nominate subspecies is probably heavily impacted by the loss of habitat as a result of the development and expansion of vineyards. |
Conservation Actions: | None needed. It occurs in many protected areas. E. e. klauberi occurs in the Sierra San Pedro Martir National Park. This species is protected by Mexican law under the "Special Protection" category (Pr). |
Citation: | Geoffrey Hammerson, Gabriela Parra-Olea, David Wake 2004. Ensatina eschscholtzii. In: IUCN 2013. IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Version 2013.2. <www.iucnredlist.org>. Downloaded on 11 March 2014. |

Table of Contents
For most grant types, such as the R01 and the Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21), use the electronic forms in the grant application package.
All types are electronic except some complex awards such as program projects and some cooperative agreements. To be sure, check the funding opportunity announcement.
See NIH's Transition Timeline (from paper to electronic), and go to our Application portal.
NIAID uses a mandatory approach to funding investigator-initiated clinical trials. For more information, go to Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trial Resources.
Always call an NIAID program officer before planning a clinical trial application.
Yes. We advise that you use a cover letter to request assignment of your application to a study section for initial peer review and an institute for possible funding.
If you do not make those requests, CSR will use your cover letter to assign your application. You can also use a cover letter to list the names of people you don't want to review your application, e.g., a competitor or someone with whom you have a long-standing scientific disagreement. Your cover letter might be required for some applications.
For more information, go to Create a Cover Letter in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
Unless otherwise noted in the funding opportunity announcement, send the original plus five copies in one package to:
Center for Scientific Review National Institutes of Health 6701 Rockledge Drive, Room 1040 - MSC 7710 Bethesda, MD 20892-7710 (Use this ZIP code for the U.S. Postal Service, including express mail.) Bethesda, MD 20817 (Use this ZIP code for commercial carriers such as FedEx and UPS.)
Send it by mail or commercial courier; you cannot hand deliver it. Check the announcement to see if you need to send copies to another location.
Read Strategy for a Successful Submission in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
NIH accepts most investigator-initiated applications on three receipt dates. For example, non-AIDS new R01 applications are due on February 5, June 5, and October 5 (the date moves forward to the next business day if that day is a holiday or weekend).
AIDS, renewals, small business awards, fellowships, and other grant types have different receipt dates.
NIAID has an annual submission deadline for T32 and T35 training grant applications: September 25 for non-AIDS and January 7 for AIDS-related. Each request for applications has its own one-time receipt date.
If a deadline is on a weekend or federal holiday, it moves to the next business day.
Go to the Standard Due Dates for Competing Applications for all NIH receipt dates, and see Prepare to Submit and Rules for Late Applications in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
Yes. A principal investigator signature assurance replaces the signature.
CSR assigns your application to an integrated review group and study section for initial peer review and an institute or center for potential funding.
For more information, go to Ensure You Get the Right Assignments in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
NIAID reviews applications for program project grants, cooperative agreements, career awards, institutional training grants, conference grants, Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trial Planning and Implementation Awards, and applications responding to requests for applications.
CSR reviews investigator-initiated grant applications for all award types except those reviewed in NIAID.
See Who Peer Reviews Your Application? in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
Seven to ten days after you apply. Log in to the eRA Commons to see the assignments. For more information, go to Ensure You Get the Right Assignments in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
If you are not satisfied with your application's assignments, you can request a change. See Ensure You Get the Right Assignments in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
You will receive a summary statement through the eRA Commons within 30 days after the review meeting (10 days for new investigators with R01 applications). Read Know What a Summary Statement Means in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
Call the scientific review officer of the scientific review group reviewing your application. For a CSR study section, go to the CSR Study Section Roster Index; for an NIAID review group, go to our Scientific Review Program staff list.
Call the program officer listed in the Commons and on your summary statement. See When to Contact an NIAID Program Officer.
NIAID's main advisory Council performs second-level review and makes a funding recommendation to NIAID. For fundable applications, NIAID's Grants Management Program sends you a Notice of Award.
Read Outcomes of Second-Level Review and Strategy for Funding Decisions in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
For a fundable R01 application, it may take as long as six to eight weeks after the Council meeting to receive your Notice of Award, earlier if it underwent expedited second-level review. This could take longer if the study section had human or animal concerns or you have a complex grant type.
For more timing information, see the R01 Planning to Award Timeline by Review Cycle, and go to How Long to Get the Grant in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
You can check for your Notice of Award in the Status module of the eRA Commons, or you can search Issued Notice of (Grant) Award.
If you see a code 44 bar to award on your summary statement, contact your program officer immediately. That code indicates a review group concern with your use of research animals or human subjects. We cannot make an award until the bar is lifted.
For more information on what to do and what you should expect, read the Bars to Grant Awards—Research Animals or the Bars to Grant Awards—Human Subjects SOPs.
If your application misses the payline, we advise you not to wait and see if you are funded later in the fiscal year. It is better to revise the application and resubmit it as soon as you can based on your summary statement and feedback from your program officer.
Learn more about this option at When We Defer a Funding Decision in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
Various approaches work best in different situations. Read the following in the Strategy for NIH Funding:
Also discuss your options with your program officer and experienced investigators in your institution.
Intramural projects are not funded through grants. Our intramural scientists are federal employees and therefore ineligible for almost all federal grants.
You can find funding data for intramural projects, as you would for extramural research, in the NIH RePORTER database. Choose intramural research on the Funding Mechanism part of the search form. Or search by the project number if you know it.
Learn more in our Extramural and Intramural Research questions and answers.
See our main Grants and Contracts portals and our All About Grants Tutorials.
If you still can't find the answer, email firstname.lastname@example.com with the title of this page or its URL and your question or comment. We answer questions by email and post them here. Thanks for helping us clarify and expand our knowledge base.

Born on September 13, 1977 in New York City, Fiona Apple is a singer-songwriter known for her husky voice and inventive, piano-driven music. Her 1996 debut album, Tidal, went multi-platinum and its single, "Criminal," earned Apple a Grammy. A sometimes controversial media figure, Apple has released several more acclaimed albums, including 2005's Extraordinary Machine, and sung on various collections.
"If I have one success in my relationship history, it's with the people who listen to my music. I think that they'll be there with me forever, and I'll be there with them forever. And I'm totally satisfied with that."
Early Life
Born on September 13, 1977 in New York City, Fiona Apple Maggart is the second daughter of singer/dancer Diana McAfee and TV/film actor Brandon Maggart. Growing up in a creative environment, Apple started playing the piano at 8 years old. She turned to writing her own songs after she was raped during her pre-adolescence, the trauma of which she would speak openly about during her professional career.

As her parents had split years earlier, Apple moved to Los Angeles at 16 to spend time with her father. She also recorded a three-song demo and signed with Sony Music in 1995. The next year, Apple released her debut, Tidal, a melodic, moody tour de force showcasing her husky vocals. The album was both critically recognized and commercially successful, eventually selling 3 million copies. Part of Apple's initial buzz was the video directed by Mark Romanek for the single "Criminal," which showcased the slender songwriter making her way through the sprawled, bare limbs of anonymous models. Apple stated that she was unaware of the partial backlash that would ensue and how the video would be interpreted by some. She went on to win a Grammy for "Criminal" in the female rock vocalist category and also took home an MTV Music Video Award for Best New Artist. During her MTV acceptance speech, she cited Maya Angelou—a major influence on her writing—and profanely critiqued the celebrity industry, advising fans to be themselves rather than conform to what's hip.
In 1999, Apple released her second album When the Pawn…. The full title of the album was actually a 90-word poem, highlighting Apple's interest in using intricate language to support her work. Produced by Jon Brion, When the Pawn… focused on tumultuous relationship scenarios backed by grand musical motifs. The album had a smaller audience than its predecessor, yet was still certified gold, selling more than half a million copies, and continued to cement Apple's reputation as a stellar craftsperson.
Her third album, 2005's Extraordinary Machine, had the singer expressing a newfound resiliency and was noted for its production by Mike Elizondo, who'd replaced most of the already completed production work of Brion. Machine appeared on a number of reviewers' year-end "Best Of" lists and also went gold.
In 2012, Apple released the percussive The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do.
In addition to her own releases, Apple has appeared on a number of collections, including The Best Is Yet to Come - The Songs of Cy Coleman, Rave On Buddy Holly, Chickens in Love, as well as the soundtracks for Pleasantville and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

The handicapped camping areas were far to small. Our camper got hit by the people camping next to us. There was not enough space to park our truck with our camper. Access to our camper with our truck was impossible. We had to park a great distance from our camper and the truck was completely blocked until the next day. We were so upset that we were never coming back--[...]

I go to tracks such as the big one - Talledega. I live in NE and hesitate in going to Laudon. The track needs much improvement. Leaderboard goes up to "7" and is slow to respond. Can not hear the announcer so you don't know why there is a caution. Big one - Getting out of the parking lot is ridiculous! Need to better manage this. Took over 3 hours to get out!!!! And the people standing on the sidelines watching the cars yelling "show us your T____" was repulsive. Think this was my last race at Laudon.

Detours on 2nd NH Turnpike in place for the long haul
FRANCESTOWN - Drivers using the 2nd New Hampshire Turnpike to commute or to visit the Crotched Mountain Ski Area in Bennington will have to get used to taking detours as repairs to a failed bridge might not happen for some time.
On Dec. 4, during a routine inspection of the bridge that spans the Piscataquog River on the 2nd New Hampshire Turnpike, the state Department of Transportation recommended the immediate closure of the bridge because it was no longer safe to carry all traffic. A second bridge on Woodard Hill Road over Brennan Brook was also closed.
Since Dec. 4, traffic has been detoured around the closure, taking drivers down Red House and Center roads. In the meantime, the Francestown Board of Selectmen began investigating ways to repair the bridges temporarily before funding can be found for more permanent fixes.
The 2nd New Hampshire Turnpike Bridge was slated to be replaced in 2015 with funds from the state's 10-year highway budget, but waiting two years or more wasn't an option the selectmen were comfortable with.
However, last week, the board learned from Selectman Road Agent Gary Paige that the temporary repairs he thought might be possible to get the road open weren't in the best interest of the town, according to Francestown's Administrative Coordinator Michael Branley.
According to the town's engineering firm CLD Engineers, any temporary solutions that might have been considered aren't adequate to handle the flow of water through the two culverts that make up the bridge.
Additionally, the temporary repairs wouldn't hold the need for permanent repairs at bay beyond their scheduled replacement date, and Paige said he couldn't justify spending as much as $250,000 on repairs to a bridge that would be replaced the following year anyway.
The Board of Selectmen agreed with Paige's assessment that spending a quarter of a million dollars on such a short-term fix was not justifiable, and as it stands, the bridge on the 2nd New Hampshire Turnpike will likely remain closed until at least 2014
