- Biosocial foundations of family processes 2011, Springer"Genes and environment. Biology and behavior. Nature and nurture. The terminology may be clear-cut, but the processes themselves are far from simple: unlike the direct cause-and-effect dichotomies of past frameworks, researchers now recognize these family-based connections as multifaceted, transactional, and emergent. [This book] aims at illuminating a multiplicity of approaches and methodologies for studying family dynamics, to match the complex interplay of physiological factors, environmental challenges, and behavioral adaptations that characterize family life and development. Chapters illustrate physical and social influences on parenting, childhood, adolescence, fertility, and family formation, providing analytical frameworks for understanding key areas such as family behavior, health, development, and adaptation to contextual stressors."--Book jacket.

- Concept of race and psychotherapy 2011, Springer[Publisher-supplied data] Is our society color-blind? Trans-racial? Post-racial? And what if anything should this mean to professionals in clinical practice with diverse clients? The ambitious volume The Concept of Race and Psychotherapy probes these questions, compelling readers to look differently at their clients (and themselves), and offering a practical framework for more effective therapy. By tracing the racial folk taxonomies of eight cultures in the Americas and the Caribbean, the author elegantly defines race as a fluid construct, dependent on local social, political, and historical context for meaning but meaningless in the face of science. This innovative perspective informs the rest of the book, which addresses commonly held assumptions about problem behavior and the desire to change, and presents a social-science-based therapy model, applicable to a wide range of current approaches, that emphasizes both cultural patterns and client uniqueness. Among the highlights of the coverage: Common elements in therapy and healing across cultures.The psychological appeal of racial concepts despite scientific evidence to the contrary.Lessons psychology can learn from anthropology.Three types of therapeutic relationships, with strategies for working effectively in each.The phenomenon of discontinuous change in brief therapy.Solution-focused therapy from a cross-cultural perspective. Thought-provoking reading for psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, and other mental health professionals as well as graduate students in these fields, The Concept of Race and Psychotherapy affirms the individuality and the interconnectedness of every client.
- Copyright and cultural institutions 2009, Cornell UnivThe development of new digital technologies has led to fundamental changes in the ways that cultural institutions fulfill their public missions of access, preservation, research, and education. Many institutions are developing publicly accessible Web sites that allow users to visit online exhibitions, search collection databases, access images of collection items, and in some cases create their own digital content. Digitization, however, also raises the possibility of copyright infringement. It is imperative that staff in libraries, archives, and museums understand fundamental copyright principles and how institutional procedures can be affected by the law. "Copyright and Cultural Institutions" was written to assist understanding and compliance with copyright law. It addresses the basics of copyright law and the exclusive rights of the copyright owner, the major exemptions used by cultural heritage institutions, and stresses the importance of "risk assessment" when conducting any digitization project. Case studies on digitizing oral histories and student work are also included.

- Foundations of Chinese psychology 2012, Springer"Originally, the global exporting of psychology was considered a means of bringing science and modernism to underdeveloped parts of the world. In response, indigenous psychology has emerged as an alternative to the individual-focused theories and therapies of Western cultures, as well as a critique of the idea that the tenets of Western thought apply to all nations. The first full-length work analyzing its Confucian roots, Foundations of Chinese Psychology strips away the myths and assumptions that can impede reliable scholarship while supplying the context necessary for decoding complex, longstanding traditions of behavior. The author re-interprets the widely held idea of collectivism (which is often defined as the absence of individualism) in favor of the more descriptive relationism, using the structure of Confucian ethics as a lens for testing theories and understanding findings on Chinese social relationships. Elaborating on key concepts such as guanxi (personal connection) and face (social standing), the book offers both a specific paradigm for studying non-Western cultures and a model for indigenous psychologies worldwide. Included in the coverage: The Confucian model of mind and the way of humanity; Confucian relationalism and social exchange; Life goals and achievement motivation in Confucian society; Ethics, morality, and the concept of face; Guanxi and organizational behavior. Indigenous Chinese models of conflict resolution. Foundations of Chinese Psychology is a landmark volume of immediate interest to researchers, particularly members of the American Psychological Association, the Asian Association of Indigenous and Cultural Psychology, the International Academy of Intercultural Research, and similar organizations."--Publisher's website.

- Global status report on road safety 2009, WHO"Over 1.2 million people die each year on the world' roads, and between 20 and 50 million suffer non-fatal injuries. In most regions of the world this epidemic of road traffic injuries is still increasing. In the past five years most countries have endorsed the recommendations of the World report on road traffic injury prevention which give guidance on how countries can implement a comprehensive approach to improving road safety and reducing the death toll on their roads. To date, however, there has been no global assessment of road safety that indicates the extent to which this approach is being implemented. This Global status report on road safety is the first broad assessment of the status of road safety in 178 countries, using data drawn from a standardized survey conducted in 2008. The results provide a benchmark that countries can use to assess their road safety position relative to other countries, while internationally the data presented can collectively be considered as a global "aseline"against which progress over time can be measured.

- Towards cultural psychology of religion 2010, SpringerThis book takes a bold stand: all psychology should be culturally sensitive psychology, especially when studying religious phenomena. It explains that culture is not simply to be conceived of as a variable that possibly influences behavior. Rather, it stresses that cultural patterns of acting, thinking and experiencing are created, adopted and promulgated by a number of individuals jointly. As human subjectivity is different in different cultures, cultural psychology is not interested in comparatively investigating how experiences and behavior, attitudes and social relationships present themse.

HAMPTON FALLS, N.H. - The South Pole engineer who riveted world interest a year ago when she couldn't get emergency evacuation from her remote Antartica research station for treatment of a stroke says she's 80 percent back to normal.
But Renee-Nicole Douceur, 59, Hampton Falls, N.H., considers herself lucky to be alive and still has concerns about why it took her employer, Raytheon Polar Services, six weeks to get her airlifted to a hospital.
"All I was asking for was for them to proposition a plane so it could come for me if a weather window opened," said Douceur. "They refused. I felt they were gambling with my life. I knew the longer I went without treatment, the more chance I had of permanent brain damage."
Douceur suffered a stroke at the Amundsen-Scott research station at the South Pole last Aug. 27, and had to wait until Oct. 17, 2011, to board the first cargo flight out.
Douceur's plight played out on the Internet through a website set up by her niece to lobby Raytheon and the National Science Foundation, which runs the Amundsen-Scott station, to move faster to rescue Douceur. Media throughout the world broadcast and published stories about the trapped engineer.
Raytheon officials said at the time they did not consider her condition life-threatening and that it would be too dangerous to send a rescue plane for her any earlier because of the total darkness, extremely cold temperatures and high winds at that time of year at the South Pole.
Douceur, in an interview Tuesday with the Newburyport, Mass., Daily News, said she suffered the stroke while working at her desktop computer, first noticing the effects when her vision faltered.
"I'd been up for 48 hours, I thought to myself, 'You're tired, you just need some sleep,'" she said.
But after six hours of sleep, she said, there was no improvement. So Douceur went to the research station's doctor. He first thought her vision problem was a detached retina but after consulting with a medical expert in Texas, it was determined she had a stroke.
"I cried," she said. "My mother had had a stroke."
Douceur said her eyesight, speech, memory and congnitive skills continued to worsen as she waited for a plane to take her out of the South Pole for treatment. Worried that she might die or never recover, she pressed for emergency evacuation.
"This was my brain they were dealing with," said Douceur. "I'm not a stupid person, and I understand policy and procedure. But when a doctor says, 'She needs to go,' then you need to go."
Six weeks after her stroke, when the weather warmed to minus-50 degrees and daylight began to appear, Douceur was flown to a hospital in New Zealand, then to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. She was released from Johns Hopkins last November, and has been recuperating ever since in a spacious motor home in Hampton Falls, N.H.
"I'm still having trouble with my short-term memory, but my vision is much better and I can drive now," said Douceur. "If I'm talking a lot, sometimes I slur my words, and now and then I can make up some crazy words. But I recognize when I'm doing that, and I correct myself."
Douceur has dubbed her 45-foot motor home "The Gypsy Queen" and said she plans to drive to the western U.S. as soon as she is able.
"Driving is my passion," she said, adding that so too is "having good medical facilities close by."

Yeah, I've heard the Ichiro story, like he can hit quite a few HR in batting practice. I don't recall Ichiro ever saying he could hit 50 HR in a season. I would not buy it anyway.
Ted Williams was hitting 35-38 HR already. He of course, was not short on confidence and perhaps, borderline arrogance, but he made sense when he said at 2 strikes, he would shorten his swing and work a walk or solid contact. He wasn't going to strike out. He could have just said, to hell with it, and swung as hard as he could. To hit another 15 HR a season, and drop his average .30 pts...eh...not sure it would have been more valuable...less walks too.
I agree with Ferguson, he only qualified for the league OPS 13 seasons, and he led MLB 11 seasons of those 13. That's retarded. He was over 1.036 OPS every single year, but one. And that was at age 40...while having multiple injuries.
Miguel Caberera and Jose Bautista are the only players in 3 years (either league) to surpass that number, and barely.
Ted Williams, at age 41, had 1.096 OPS (weighted, 190 OPS+), both better than any season Miguel Cabrera has ever had.
That is, Ted Williams, at his lowest point, better than this generation's best hitter. While also having a 75-42 BB/SO ratio.
Four seasons, he had more HR than SO's. Unreal.
I've only seen highlights, but I just think that Babe Ruth and Ted Williams were unlike any other hitters, in any generation.
Defense? Meh, at best. Base runners? Babe was caught stealing a LOT. Ted, had no wheels. But those guys, at the dish, with a stick in their hands. Babe had a solid arm I guess.
All around players, athletes, to good at every phase of the game, well, that's another story. You have to weight the areas of important too.Last edited by twinsfan34; 01-25-2014 at 07:58 PM.

Great stuff about Williams, I did not realize his numbers were that spectacular. He was as he said he wanted to be known as when he walked down the street: "There goes the greatest hitter that ever lived". So, who is #2 then if not the "Babe"? The "Man" perhaps?

Good stuff in your post, twinsfan. But I'm not sure if the highlighted sentence is tongue in cheek on your part, or not. Babe was one of the best 3-5 AL SPs in the game at ages 21 and 22 ( Babe was second only to Walter Big Train Johnson in 1916). Had he just continued his career as a Starting Pitcher and part-time OFer, he would have undoubtedly qualfied for the HOF on those merits alone.
Yea, I'd probably put Stan #3 - though with some competition.
I'll also need to admit, that Stan "The Man" Musial is my favorite all time player. I've read a lot on him. Listened to quite a few interviews. Seen highlights as available. And the guy is just someone I look up to in every way. He handled things with such poise.
From people asking him what he'd hit "against today's pitching" and he paused, responding, probably around .280. The reporter gasped, really only .280?! Stan responded, "Well, I'm 80 years old" with a wink. To asking for a pay cut. (A link for some stories, some found in the comments too) to plays where it was clearly a fair ball and him saying to the affect, "what's the point of arguing about it" and just getting in the box and doing it again. I played the same way - likely because I read of guys like him and well, John Wooden is another who really resonated with me.
But more than that, Stan's just a great hitter. I love the triple too, my favorite and toughest hit to get. So I have to fess up to all those 'giddy' biases.
But that aside, I'd probably put Stan at #3 or at least against in the mix. I find Lou Gehrig's 1934 and 1936 seasons to be unworldly spectacular to me, and they're the only two of their kind actually.
200 hits
More BB's than SO's (nearly 3 to 1 actually)
And more HR's than SO (49/46 and 49/31).
Also hit over .350 and 150 RBI...but yea...just the hits, walks, number of homers, and having more HR's than strikeouts.
I do enjoy watching some of the HR competitions and interviews and the stats of guys like Mickey Mantle and Harmon Killebrew. And I have great respect for Joe DiMaggio and Willie Mays. I love what the OPS+ and these weighted stats do for players. It at least tries to take into account the hitters advantage at Fenway and Yankee stadium or any other stadium for every particular stat...triples to average to home runs. Really helps to be able to compare across decades and even players within a decade.
Of today's hitters, I don't think we realize just how good Albert Pujols was this past decade. A .330 hitter during that stretch, with great power, and a great eye, and the fact he too, almost had the amazing more HR's than SO's season, including 9 seasons where he was within 25 or fewer strikeouts of his HR total for that season. In 2006 he hit 49 HR, struck out 50 times, and walked 92 times. So almost double BB to SO total.
I'd also put Frank Thomas in there, as the type of guy who can win the game, but also "the game won't end with me getting out" type of player. They can work a walk and a strikeout just wasn't going to be something that happened very often.
Yes, you're right. I probably undervalue Babe in a way. I read some where it seemed he was 'impatient' to 'careless' (maybe a little less poise) in other areas of his game. Possible also over-analytical projection-esque on my part too. Or maybe that fact he was such a good hitter.
He had 9 shutouts in his first full season as a SP...I think there's only been 4 seasons in the AL since then (1916) with more shutouts.Last edited by twinsfan34; 01-26-2014 at 10:40 AM.

More on "The Man" - Watched Bob Costas's eulogy on youtube, simply terrific. During it Bob mentioned doing the eulogy at Mickey's funeral also. He says......As I was speaking all of the ex players were grouped together up at the front but I glanced half way down the aisle and saw Stan standing by himself. He had gotten on a plane from St. Louis and flew to Mickey's funeral all by himself just to pay homage to a great fellow player. Then quietly slipped out and returned again to St. Louis. That is just about all we need to know about the classiness of "The Man", isn't it? YouTube probably still has Bob's eulogy on Stan and Mickey's also I would imagine.

Croque Monsieur Egg Rolls
Pretty fancy name for ham & cheese egg rolls, eh? I actually made this recipe for Christmas Eve 2009 (my family always has an hors d'oeuvre smorgasbord in place of dinner when we get home from church on Christmas Eve – yum!). Since I remembered it being quite yummy I decided to try it again a few weeks ago. I made it for lunch and a few of these egg rolls are really pretty filling, so you could definitely make it an appetizer or a light meal.
Croque Monsieur Egg Rolls
Source: Adapted from weightwatchers.com
5 oz cooked lean ham, diced (my grocery store sells pre-diced ham by the packaged deli meats)
2 oz low fat swiss cheese, finely chopped
1 T scallions, minced (green part only)
7-8 egg roll wrappers (the recipe said this makes 8 egg rolls but mine must have been extra full because I only got 7)
Cooking spray
1. Preheat the oven to 400.
2. In a small bowl, combine ham, cheese and scallions and mix together.
3. On a flat surface, place an egg roll wrapper, corner facing toward you (like a diamond) and put 3 slightly rounded tablespoons of ham mixture down the center of the wrapper, corner to corner, leaving ½ inch or so of space at the top and bottom. Fold one side of the wrapper in over the filling, followed by the top and bottom. Fold the remaining side in to completely cover filling and seal the loose end with a little bit of water. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
4. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and lay the egg rolls on the sheet. Coat the tops of the egg rolls lightly with cooking spray. Bake 16 minutes, flipping once, until the wrappers are golden brown. Serve with mustard for dipping.
Yields 7-8 egg rolls. Weight Watchers Points Plus: 2 per egg roll
4 comments:
I made these with wonton wrappers and they were very yummy. I am thinking about making them again (full-size, egg-roll) as a Thanksgiving appetizer. They were a little too work-intensive in the smaller size. My other option is the pepperoni pizza mini puffs... Hmmm what to choose?? Anyway, these little guys are really yummy dipped in honey mustard (the sandwich condiment, not the super fatty dressing). OOOH and I just realized a little sweet pickle in there would probably be *quite* nice as well!
