Originally written on Celtics Life | Last updated 11/6/14
It's Monday, so that means ESPN's weekly Marc Stein NBA power rankings are out. In this edition the 11-9 Celtics find themselves at #14. Despite two easy wins, and just a single one-point OT loss on the road, Boston falls a spot from #13 last week. I still don't understand Stein's infatuation with the 10-9 Bucks, who again rank several places ahead of the C's at #11. But at least he's finally got the Celts ahead of the Lakers, who at 9-12 have slipped all the way to #15 after beginning the year at #2. Miami also drops to a season low #6 this week. And that's an original Bob Cousy jersey on the right, the last Celtic to wear #14. Follow Mark on twitter @LucidSportsFan

Two decades and countless classic albums into their already legendary careers, A.G. of Diggin' In The Crates (D.I.T.C.), Sadat X of Brand Nubian, and DJ Jab, owner and founder of Fat Beats Records, continue to show and prove as the super group Trinity, and step it up again with their new single, "20 In," which celebrates the group's roots and turns the mirror on today's hollow hustlers by begging the simple question: "If you have nothing to say, why are you in the game?"The "20 In" music video, directed by Young Studios, provides perfectly adequate visuals to accompany Trinity's true-school aesthetic; an antenna-sporting television, Adidas signature shell-toe sneakers draped over-top, is bustling static before the group's three members break through. Atop DJ Jab's thumping bass, boisterous brass, and well-placed organ wails, A.G. and Sadat X throw their weight around in brazen call-and-response verses that detail the intense amount of legwork that the trio has put in the game.

Game to Premiere "Red Nation" Video Today!
Los Angeles, CA - May 2011 - Grammy nominated Los Angeles rapper Game will premiere the music video for "Red Nation," the lead single off his highly anticipated R.E.D. Album on Thursday, May 12th. The music video will premiere online through music video website VEVO as well as Game's official website (www.comptongame.com) and twitter account (www.twitter.com/thegame). The "Red Nation" music video will be available online only as it was deemed too controversial and was banned by MTV and BET networks. Game is confident that this will not stop fans from seeing the Parris directed music video. "No love is lost for BET and MTV" states Game. "I know they have standards for all ages watching the networks. I didn't want to change the artistic integrity of the music video and with the amount of people watching videos online, I know that all my fans will still be able to find it." "Red Nation's" behind the scenes footage will premiere on May 12th with content provider AOL. Game will release the R.E.D. Album later this summer.

Proof Moustaches Are The Sexiest Accessory
It's no argument that moustaches are sexy. They're like pants for your nose. Sexy pants! And if you take off your pants… you need to go home.
1. It's a historical fact that the world's most powerful (and sexiest) men have all sported moustaches.
2. Moustaches are the bow ties of the face! A sure sign of success.
(Extra points if you're also wearing an actual bow tie.)
3. They're what separate the men from the boys.
Seriously… take the moustache away from the sexy man on the right, and he might as well be wearing a diaper.
4. What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man.
5. It's simple math.
The equation above proves that "Moustache = Sexy" through the transitive property.
6. Most importantly, ladies LOVE moustaches.
7. Because a moustache says: It's possible that I own a motorcycle.
8. Or: I speak a foreign language you've probably never heard of.
9. Or: I can bathe with a cowboy hat and mangos in sepia tones and still pass as sexy. ;)
10. But the absolute sexiest thing about a moustache is that you can make it your own!
Scruffy? Twisty? Ethereal? Luxuriant? The choice is yours!
11. When this guy saw how a simple moustache paired with a goatee took him from good-looking guy to Casanova, he audibly gasped!
12. This man is so overcome by the potential of his sexiness that it scares him a little.
13. Don't worry, there's nothing to fear. Just think of a moustache as a pair of pants for your nose.
It's a good thing every great moustache grows back!

|Brother of Cubs' Epstein ran Boston Marathon
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 18 April 2013 15:47
Epstein spent nearly a decade as general manager of the Boston Red Sox. Earlier this week at Wrigley Field, he said his mother ran in the marathon ``at least a half-dozen times.''
Three people were killed and more than 180 were injured in Monday's bombings. The 39-year-old Epstein says he spoke to his brother, Paul, within 20 minutes of hearing about the explosions.
``You see the darkest side of humanity with someone wanting to harm innocent people,'' Epstein said. ``Then you see the best side of humanity, too, when you see people running toward an explosion like that to help out people who are in harm's way.''

Cysteine protease
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2011)
|Cysteine Peptidase
|Pfam clan
|OPM superfamily
|OPM protein
Cysteine proteases, also known as thiol proteases, are enzymes that degrade proteins. These proteases share a common catalytic mechanism that involves a nucleophilic cysteine thiol in a catalytic triad or dyad.
Cysteine proteases are commonly encountered in fruits including the papaya, pineapple, fig and kiwifruit. The proportion of protease tends to be higher when the fruit is unripe. In fact, dozens of latices of different plant families are known to contain cysteine proteases.[1] Cysteine proteases are used as an ingredient in meat tenderizers.
The MEROPS protease classification system counts 14 superfamilies plus several currently unassigned families (as of 2013) each containing many families. Each superfamily uses the catalytic triad or dyad in a different protein fold and so represent convergent evolution of the catalytic mechanism.
For superfamilies, P = superfamily containing a mixture of nucleophile class families, C = purely cysteine proteases. superfamily. Within each superfamily, families are designated by their catalytic nucleophile (C = cysteine proteases).
Catalytic mechanism[edit]
The first step in the reaction mechanism by which cysteine proteases catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds is deprotonation of a thiol in the enzyme's active site by an adjacent amino acid with a basic side chain, usually a histidine residue. The next step is nucleophilic attack by the deprotonated cysteine's anionic sulfur on the substrate carbonyl carbon. In this step, a fragment of the substrate is released with an amine terminus, the histidine residue in the protease is restored to its deprotonated form, and a thioester intermediate linking the new carboxy-terminus of the substrate to the cysteine thiol is formed. Therefore they are also sometimes referred to as thiol proteases. The thioester bond is subsequently hydrolyzed to generate a carboxylic acid moiety on the remaining substrate fragment, while regenerating the free enzyme.
Biological importance[edit]
Cysteine proteases play multi-faceted roles, virtually in every aspect of physiology and development. In plants they are important in growth and development and in accumulation and mobilization of storage proteins such as in seeds. In addition, they are involved in signalling pathways and in the response to biotic and abiotic stresses.[19] In humans and other animals, they are responsible for senescence and apoptosis (programmed cell death), MHC class II immune responses, prohormone processing, and extracellular matrix remodeling important to bone development. The ability of macrophages and other cells to mobilize elastolytic cysteine proteases to their surfaces under specialized conditions may also lead to accelerated collagen and elastin degradation at sites of inflammation in diseases such as atherosclerosis and emphysema.[20] Several viruses (e.g. polio, hepatitis C) express their entire genome as a singe massive polyprotein and use a protease to cleave it into functional units (e.g. Tobacco Etch Virus protease).
Proteases are usually synthesized as large precursor proteins called zymogens, such as the serine protease precursors trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen, and the aspartic protease precursor pepsinogen. The protease is activated by removal of an inhibitory segment or protein. Activation occurs once the protease is delivered to a specific intracellular compartment (e.g. lysosome) or extracellular environment (e.g. stomach). This system prevents the cell that produces the protease from being damaged by it.
Protease inhibitors are usually proteins with domains that enter or block a protease active site to prevent substrate access. In competitive inhibition, the inhibitor binds to the active site, thus preventing enzyme-substrate interaction. In non-competitive inhibition, the inhibitor binds to an allosteric site, which alters the active site and makes it inaccessible to the substrate.
Examples of protease inhibitors include:
Potential pharmaceuticals[edit]
Currently there is no widespread use of cysteine proteases as approved and effective anthelmintics but research into the subject is a promising field of study. Plant cysteine proteases isolated from these plants have been found to have high proteolytic activities that are known to digest nematode cuticles, with very low toxicity.[21] Successful results have been reported against nematodes such as Heligmosomoides bakeri, Trichinella spiralis, Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, Trichuris muris, and Ancylostoma ceylanicum; the tapeworm Rodentolepis microstoma, and the porcine acanthocephalan parasite Macracanthorynchus hirundinaceus.[22] A useful property of cysteine proteases is the resistance to acid digestion, allowing possible oral administration. They provide an alternative mechanism of action to current anthelmintics and the development of resistance is thought to be unlikely because it would require a complete change of structure of the helminth cuticle.
In several traditional medicines, the fruits or latex of the papaya, pineapple and fig are widely used for treatment of intestinal worm infections both in humans and livestock.
Cysteine proteases are used as feed additives for livestock to improve the digestibility of protein. They hydrolyse complex proteins into simple amino acids through gut.[citation needed]

A new, touring production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's 1978 Tony-sweeping musical about the beloved Argentine First Lady Eva Perón makes a stop at the Keller. Not seen in Portland since 1999 and starring Caroline Bowman (Kinky Boots) as Eva Perón, Tony-Award nominee Josh Young as Che, and Sean McLaughlin as Juan Peron, and directed by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Michael Grandage.
In this first revival in 30 years, the narrating role of "Che" is reverted to the way it was conceived for the concept album—as an 'everyman' of the lower/working class, serving as the voice of the people, not Che Guevara.

Since 2010 the Hertie School of Governance, the London School of Economics (LSE), and Stiftung Mercator have cooperated to create bi-annual symposia and public research projects in honour of Lord Ralph Dahrendorf. In the spirit of Lord Dahrendorf's own example, these efforts focus on bringing the European debate about key issues in society forward through social science research and engagement with policymakers and with the public. The first two cycles of research concentrated on the debate on Europe's institutional and political future and on the issue of man-made climate change. In the third cycle (2015-2016), the focus is on the relationship between Europe and the core regions of the world economy (North America and East Asia), and especially its border zones: Russia and Ukraine, Turkey, and North Africa.
Dahrendorf postdoctoral fellows, research associates and PhD fellowships will be attached to the research project. Each academic partner has one Senior Dahrendorf Fellow who is based at their respective institution. Both will advise on the speakers and participants at the symposium, mentor the postdoctoral fellows, and form the science-policy interface of the project. Each of the five working groups will be chaired by one faculty member at either the Hertie School or the LSE and will consist of four members and two Visiting Fellows from academia, politics, and business.
As of January 2015, the five transnational, interdisciplinary, and cross-sectoral working groups will examine the key questions, and thereby prepare the content for the debate at the Dahrendorf Symposium 2016 'Changing the debate on Europe: Europe and the world'. A continuous exchange between the working groups will be guaranteed via their members' participation at Dahrendorf workshops, seminars and lectures. Each of the research groups will have a regional focus. They will examine four sets of tensions and outline concrete policy implications for the future of the European Union's relations with its border regions (Russia and Ukraine, Turkey, and North Africa), and the core regions of the world economy (East Asia and North America). The working titles of the research groups are:
The three-day event will be the finale of the project. Taking place in Berlin in May 2016, the symposium aims to set in motion a broad, challenging, and multifaceted European debate. It seeks again to engage representatives of the European and global elite in academia, politics, businesses, civil society, and the media in the debate about Europe.

The Sardinia region
Northwest Sardinia is a land of wild, dense green maquis interspersed with wind blown rocks and some of the finest beaches on the island. The region of Alghero has remained largely unspoilt and is recognised for its charming seaside resorts, archaeological sites and above all, its spectacular coastline. Alghero itself boasts an atmospheric old town which has retained its Catalan favours and tends to be rather crowded in the height of the summer season. Near Alghero (50Km.) there is Stintino with restaurants and one of the most stunning beaches nearby, La Pelosa. La Pelosa beach is one of Sardinia's famous swimming spots, lapped by shallow, turquoise sea of crystalline clarity. Some say it is one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe! Le Prigionette Nature Reserve at Porto Conte is a great spot for hiking and cycling through the mountains and valleys.And near Alghero CapGrotte di Nettuno is one of Sardinia's most visited tourist attractions: 60 million year old caves discovered by fishermen in the 18th century.
La Cunetta Centre
Alghero is even for a weekend! Visitors to the city find that the area around Alghero gives a lot of opportunities for day trips: the famous cave complex of Grotte di Nettuno (Neptune's Grotto), located 15km to the west on the peninsular of Capo Caccia, is one of the most spectacular cave complexes in Italy and a very popular tour destination; . To the north and south of Alghero the resorts of Bosa and Stintino are worthy of investigation. Slightly inland, Bosa boasts a compact centre of narrow streets and a relaxed atmosphere whilst its extension at Bosa Marina, 3 km away, provides access to the beach. The smaller Stintino on the northwestern tip of the Island is renowned for the stunning coastline at La Pelosa with its superb beaches and calm turquoise waters.
The area around Alghero also contains several important archaeological sites. Nuraghe di Palmavera is the best preserved nuraghic complex in the region and the older Anghelu Ruju, near Alghero airport (Fertilia), is a necropolis consisting of around forty burial chambers.
Located on the northwest coast of Sardinia, Alghero has become a major holiday destination in recent years and yet still retains its distinctive Catalan character. This derives from the influence of Pedro IV of Aragon who seized control of the town in the mid-fourteenth century and embarked on an intense period of colonization from Spain.
In winter the climate is very warm so the walk on the old walls of the old city with some very nice cafes and restaurants (ranges from young to older generations) and the sunset facing the neptun grotto is mindblowing!
the most famous beaches that you have to see are Le Bombarde It's really a nice sand beach and at all the sea wather is just cristal-clear! it's the beach for young people (20 - 30 years old) in the afternoon after nights live .there are Lazzareto, La Speranza , Maria Pia, and Capo Caccia with the "!Grotte di Nettuno" : old caves discovered by fishermen in the 18th century. and you can visit by boat or if you wish by 700 stairs!

"Excellent apartment to relax during stay"
Great apartment and worked well for us with two children aged two and three. All rooms on the same level and plenty of space to relax. Supermarket about 5 minutes walk away, with centre of town (oldtown) about 15 minutes away. Balcony was nice (obviously needed to supervise young children). Apartment clean and airy, with blackout shutters aiding everyones sleep time.
Alghero lovely town ~ similiar to Dubrovnik- food excellent and good value. Supermarkets were exceptionally cheap and provided excellent food and drink. Late April a nice time to visit, not too warm but good enough for beach. There was a small cove nearby. overall enjoyed the stay and would return

"Cosy apartment in a quiet residential area, ideal for my toddler!"
I stayed at Fulvia's apartment last March with my toddler and mother for a week.
Fulvia was extremely nice and charming throughout the booking process and very helpful with all my questions and queries.
Fulvia's mother greeted us upon arrival and it was nice to know that she was 1 door away if we neeeded anything.
We could not work out how to use the TV so she called one of her sons to help us immediately.
The apartment is self-contained and comfortable, it was immaculately cleaned when we arrived!
Although not so close to the town centre shops sea front and parks are within a short walking distance and we have opted not to hire a car. Despite being March the weather was fantastic and we walked everywhere.
i would definetly reccommend this apartment i think it's very good money for value and Fulvia is truly a nice and honest person.

"Not up to standard"
This apartment was generally clean and tidy, in a well kept apartment block in a quiet residential area (occasionally noisy with traffic late at night) BUT was not up to the standard we expected, despite a warm welcome from the agent.
In particular the bathroom was unhygienic - the position of the shower over the bath meant it sprayed water into the bottom recess of a nearby opening window (which opened inwards) which was full of black slimy "gunge" and water that had been there for ages and never cleaned in months, it was horrible to look at. The grout and sealant between bath tiles and bath were similarly black, mouldy and unpleasant as was the gap between the wash basin and wall. The bathroom required complete renovation.
The water pressure in the taps and shower was just a trickle so it was impossible to have a basic shower, it just dribbled out, and it would have taken hours to fill the bath. The cold water tap on the basin turned round and round and was impossible to shut off, so we could never use it. Similarly we could never fill the wash hand basin with water as it took too long!
The same was true for the kitchen, so washing up was virtually impossible as the water just trickled out even when the taps were opened fully. It was very frustrating and annoying when trying to wash even the smallest of items, so we had no choice but to use the dishwasher more times than should have been necessary.
There was a really horrible drains/sewer smell coming from the bathroom, which never disappeared over the whole week, so going in there was not pleasant at all. Similarly there was the same sort of smell on the balcony which also drifted in through the second window of the second bedroom, meaning that this had to be kept closed all the time, making the room very hot in the warm weather. We could never sit on the balcony because of the smell, which only disappeared when it was windy (two days only!).
The beds in the second bedroom were not comfortable at all and very poor, with something underneath one of them broken, so it sagged even more than the other one. Air conditioning was mentioned, and this was indeed provided in the living room, but the bedrooms were particularly hot and airless at night, with no air con or ceiling fans which really are necessary even in September.
The kitchen equipment was generally ok, but 2 espresso pots were full of mould and dirty, having been left wet and closed up, and we had to buy a new one ourselves. We had to ask how to light the oven which required lighting with a wooden "taper" stick, which I was not keen on doing, as the gas cooker had no automatic oven ignition. It was LPG which was not mentioned in the description either. The cooker knob kept falling off which was annoying and it was impossible to tell at what temperature the oven was set at. The plinth in the kitchen was loose, and the wallpaper frieze had been re-fixed to the wall with masking tape. The electrics in the kitchen were particularly "dodgy" and we tried not to use them too much, as every time we pulled the plug out of an appliance it pulled the loose socket out the wall.
One good thing was that beach towels, sun umbrella, and mats were provided, and these were indeed useful.
The owner states it is little more than a 10 minute walk to the old town, it is certainly much more than that, definitely a good 20 minutes quite fast walk, or even 30 if walking more slowly on the most direct road straight in. It is about 5 minutes to the nearest supermarket which is quite well stocked.
Overall very disappointing when this is our first visit to Sardinia, and reading the description of the apartment on the owner's website makes it sound a lot more attractive. It is ready for renovation, particularly the bathroom, kitchen and second bedroom.
I would have brought this to the owner's attention at the time, but not speaking Italian made communication very difficult, so I have emailed the owner on return from holiday. I am afraid I would not be happy to recommend it as it is at the moment. It is more a case of what was NOT said in the description that caused the problems!
I am very sorry for all the hardships encountered;I wish my customers are completely satisfied with their stay and this is the first time I receive a review so bad, thank you for advised me, I'm already making good what has been by me, but as written to clients, some of the hardships were caused by temporary problems of the city (water and odors);for all problems I offered to apologize for next year a free week, so they can have great memories of my home and Sardinia

I totally agree with Kelly. That looks amazing, one of many places
in the Italy and Greece area I'd love to visit if I ever got the chance.
Not that it wouldn't be incredible, but I wonder what visiting during
the Carnival of Masks (I think that's the huge festival they have every year) would be like.
Really enjoying this segment of post Carrie. Thanks!

Historians have emphasized the ways that male physicians victimized female patients, but in the academic, professional, and public worlds, women directly influenced these specialties. As intellectuals and educators, women challenged existing ideas about their presence in academia and shaped evolving medical school curricula. As specialists, they debated the ethics of operative gynecology and participated in the medical construction of the female body. Finally, as activists, they demanded that obstetricians and gynecologists adopt treatments they believed were desirable. In doing so, they took part in larger debates about gender difference, gender equality, and the relationship between women's physical bodies and social roles.

This thesis examines Walker's work in silhouettes, text, and video in order to establish the unifying logic that unites her media. Walker's use of racist stereotypes has incited vehement criticism, and the debate over the political meaning of her work has been worked and reworked in the voluminous literature on her artistic practice.

It was in these years that one of the great industrial reform movements arose, spearheaded in much of the West and South by the Populists. It was also a decade in which the nation fought its first foreign war in half a century and forcibly took possession of its first major overseas colonial possessions. Scholars have frequently attempted to discuss the two phenomena in conjunction, but their attempts thus far have been shallow and unsatisfactory. This study examines the Populists of the U.S. West in detail, with a special focus upon the years from 1898 to 1900. Within the first years of the decade, the Populists had developed a substantial following by demanding a reorganization of the national economy for the benefit of small-scale producers and laborers. By 1896, the party formed a vital component of the reform coalition that won most of the elected offices of the region. The Populists and their allies appeared poised to become a substantial force for change, but it was not to be. Wars---the first with Spain over Cuba, the second in the Philippines to quash an independence movement---shifted public attention to other matters. Western Populists and Democrats responded by extending their critique of concentrated wealth to foreign affairs, and they attributed the drive for empire to the demands of financiers and industrialists. Yet by attacking the American war efforts, they laid themselves open to charges of disloyalty. President McKinley and the western Republicans who followed him saw the opportunities provided by the conflicts. They declared that colonies would promote trade and promised that the wealth generated by this commerce would trickle down to all classes. To an even greater degree, they skillfully used the wars to rally support around the nation's soldiers and the "flag." And finally, western Republicans successfully labeled the Populists and Democrats who opposed the wars as traitors and "copperheads." In this way conservatives destroyed the most serious challenge to the American industrial order. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

The French "utopian socialist" movement known as Saint-Simonianism has long been recognized for its influence among 19th century engineers. An examination of the early Saint-Simonian journal, Le Producteur , however, reveals the articulation of an appeal to contemporary men of letters. A survey of the life and career of Hippolyte Carnot, a prominent Saint-Simonian man of letters, confirms and illustrates the nature of this appeal as it developed alongside Saint-Simonian ideology. Central to this appeal was the Saint-Simonians' attributing to the "artist" the role of moral educator. In their conceptualization of this function, the Saint-Simonians essentially presented a model of what Jürgen Habermas has termed the "public sphere" in strong contrast to that of classical liberalism. In the final analysis, however, the Saint-Simonians can be read as arguing not for the totalitarian domination of public life (as some have suggested) but rather the necessity of what Antonio Gramsci described as "hegemony."

The dissertation focuses on Protestants in the Soviet Ukraine from the end of the Second World War to the collapse of the USSR. It has two major aims. The first is to elucidate the evolution of Soviet policy toward Protestant denominations, using archival evidence that was not available to previous students of this subject. The second is to reconstruct the internal life of Protestant congregations as marginalized social groups. The dissertation is thus a case study both of religious persecution under state-sponsored atheism and of the efforts of individual believers and their communities to survive without compromising their religious principles. The opportunity to function legally came at a cost to Protestant communities in Ukraine and elsewhere in the USSR. In the 1940s-1980s, Protestant communities lived within a tight encirclement of numerous governmental restrictions designed to contain and, ultimately, reduce all manifestations of religiosity in the republic both quantitatively and qualitatively. The Soviet state specifically focused on interrupting the generational continuity of religious tradition by driving a wedge between believing parents and their children. Aware of these technologies of containment and their purpose, Protestants devised a variety of survival strategies that allowed them, when possible, to circumvent the stifling effects of containment and ensure the preservation and transmission of religious traditions to the next generation. The dissertation investigates how the Soviet government exploited the state institutions and ecclesiastic structures in its effort to transform communities of believers into malleable societies of timid and nominal Christians and how the diverse Protestant communities responded to this challenge. Faced with serious ethical choices--to collaborate with the government or resist its persistent interference in the internal affairs of their communities-- many Ukrainian Evangelicals joined the vocal opposition movement that contributed to an increased international pressure on the Soviet government and subsequent evolution of the Soviet policy from confrontation to co-existence with religion. The dissertation examines both theoretical and practical aspects of the Soviet secularization project and advances a number of arguments that help account for religion's survival in the Soviet Union during the 1940-1980s.

From its inception, the Oregon State Highway Department and Portland's political leaders repeatedly failed to address the city's automobile traffic problems. However, in 1955 the Highway Department published a comprehensive freeway plan that anticipated new federal funding and initiated an era of unprecedented road construction in the growing city. In the early 1960s, localized opposition to the city's Interstate system failed to halt the completion of three major routes. Yet, politically savvy grassroots activists and a new generation of local leaders used the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act and the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1973 to successfully stop the construction of two freeways in the mid 1970s. Though favorable legislation and the efforts of local politicians were instrumental in thwarting the Highway Department's plans, this study will focus on the crucial role played by the citizens who waged an ideological battle against recalcitrant highway engineers for Portland's future.

Between the early 1900s and the 1952 U.S. Supreme Court case of United States v. Oregon State Medical Society, conflicts over the legality and permissibility of contract medicine raged in Oregon. Organized labor opposed the practice because it restricted their choice of physician, and because they resented mandatory wage deductions to pay for the contracts. Organized medicine resented contract medicine for its imposition of commercial power on physicians. The groups initially attempted to resolve the issue publicly through legislation, but procedural factors and a lack of group cohesiveness prevented a public solution. Beginning in the 1930s, the State Medical Society imposed its own private code of ethics on the medical services market to eliminate contract practice, and used the legislative process to preserve its independence to pursue a private sector solution. Ultimately, the Supreme Court allowed this approach, based partly on its view that medicine was distinct from business.

This thesis examines the connection between colonialism and violence during the early years of English settlement in North America. I argue that colonization was inherently destructive because the English colonists envisioned a comprehensive transformation of the American landscape that required the elimination ofNative American societies. Two case studies demonstrate the dynamics ofthis process. During the Anglo-Powhatan Wars in Virginia, latent violence within English ideologies of imperialism escalated cont1ict to levels of extreme brutality, but the fracturing ofpower along the frontier limited Virginian war aims to expulsion of the Powhatan Indians and the creation of a segregated society. During the Pequot War in New England, elements of violence in the Puritan worldview became exaggerated by the onset of societal crisis during the Antinomian Controversy. The resulting climate of fear unified the colonies and created an ideological commitment to the genocide of the Pequots.

"The Sacred Domain": Women and the Transformation of Gynecology and Obstetrics in the United States, 1870-1920Adkins, Carrie (University of Oregon, June 17, 2014)[more][less]Herman, Ellen Adkins, Carrie 2014-06-17T19:40:21Z 2014-06-17 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/17897 This dissertation contends that women - as intellectuals, educators, physicians, activists, consumers, and patients - shaped the dramatic transformation that took place in the medical specialties of gynecology and obstetrics in the late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century United States. These two specialties were particularly contentious because they were inextricably linked with social, cultural, and political ideas about gender, race, class, sexuality, reproduction, and motherhood. In the resulting climate of chaos and controversy, women themselves played the key roles in resolving medical debates about their bodies. Furthermore, their work had a much broader significance: as women altered medical approaches to female bodies, they influenced a larger discourse about the meaning of normal femininity and the nature of American womanhood. This project is not an institutional history of gynecology and obstetrics but, instead, serves as a social and intellectual history of these specialties. It features women as primary actors and emphasizes significant connections between medical perceptions of women's bodies and social constructions of women's lives. By examining several key issues in these specialties - medical constructions of menstruation, controversies over women's medical education, the contested evolution of surgical gynecology, and the development of prenatal care and obstetric anesthesia - it demonstrates that the physical body served as a battleground for the ideological construction of women in society. As women worked from inside and outside the medical community to define what it meant to have a healthy, normal female body, they also constructed larger visions of what it meant, fundamentally, to be a healthy, normal American woman. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

This thesis explores the intersection of artistry, professionalism, and maternalism in the storytelling revival that occurred in the United States from 1890-1920, influencing a variety of child-centered reform movements. Though storytelling was practiced by men and women alike, it was portrayed as a maternal skill. However, storytelling's perceived multiplicity of uses led it to be interpreted in diverse ways. Such interpretations--particularly potent in the home, school, and library-displayed tensions inherent in the public role of these institutions, particularly in their approach to "child-centeredness." In the school, teachers embraced the nurturing potential of storytelling, arguing that it allowed them to teach more effectively. In the library, however, such an approach was rejected as antithetical to the efficient nature of the institution. The way these institutions conceived of storytelling shows that nurturing imperatives, though pervasive in childcentered reform in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, was not the only way to conceive of child-centeredness.

From its inception in 1872, with the first line between Tokyo and Yokohama, the Tokyo railway network played a critical role in the domestic and international political aspirations of the new Meiji government. In a domestic form of "railway imperialism," the Meiji government sought to use railways as a means of unifying the country and asserting its legitimacy by centering the network on Tokyo. Meanwhile, to craft Japan as a modem, "civilized" nation-state on a par with the West, Meiji leaders sought to re-create Tokyo as Teito, or the grand "imperial capital" of a unified Japan. These two forms of state-formation culminated in the construction of the monumental Tokyo Station in 1914. With the completion of Tokyo Station as the cornerstone of the national railway network and at the center of the Teito, the Japanese government asserted domestic hegemony and anticipated international recognition as a modem "first class power."

This dissertation examines formal and popular campaigns against collaborators during the second Sino-Japanese war of 1937-1945, considering the role of these campaigns in the political struggles of the Nationalist (Guomindang) government, the interplay between discourses of law and morality, and the interactions of legal professionals, intellectuals, and commoners in the development of Chinese nationalism and anti-imperialism. During the Sino-Japanese war, the Japanese army occupied vast areas in China and sponsored puppet regimes at central and local levels in areas under its occupation. These regimes variously attracted, persuaded, or forced a large number of Chinese officials, intellectuals, and local elites to work in their administrations. The Nationalist government under Chiang Kai-shek, which was the central Chinese government since 1928, retreated to the inland city of Chongqing to organize resistance against Japan. The Nationalist government labeled collaborators as hanjian , "traitors to the Han." The word became widely used in legal regulations, popular literature, and newspapers and became the most derogatory and politically disastrous title possible for a Chinese citizen. Individuals designated hanjian were exposed to public humiliation, confiscation of land and property, and the threat of assassination. Chiang Kai-shek's government also called for the common people to expose hanjian . Most such accusations were then transformed into legal procedures. These accusations resulted in varying and often unfair sentences. Designed by the Nationalist government to harness the force of popular nationalism and to restore justice, the anti- hanjian campaigns instead inadvertently exposed the corruption and incompetence of the Nationalist government and damaged the post-war construction effort.

The unheard voice of law in Bartolome de Las Casas's "Brevisima relacion de la destruicion de las Indias"Orique, David Thomas, 1959- (University of Oregon, June , 2011)[more][less]Orique, David Thomas, 1959- 2011-09-30T01:13:36Z 2011-09-30T01:13:36Z 2011-06 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/11616 xiv, 485 p. The organizing principle of this dissertation is that Las Casas's most famous work, the Brevisima relacion , is primarily an intricately reasoned legal argument against the excesses of early Spanish colonialism rather than a fiery polemical diatribe by the "first human rights activist." Contrary to such anachronistic (though enduringly popular) characterization, this study employs a historical perspective to view this influential text as belonging to the genres of the early modern juridical tradition. Accordingly, this investigation begins by examining the historical matrix of fifteenth-century and early sixteenth-century Spain to properly contextualize Las Casas's early life and certain initial colonial institutions of the Spanish Indies. Similarly, his juridical expertise is firmly rooted in an explication of his contemporaneous formation in canon law and theology. From these foundational strands of his life and work, his maturing juridical voice spoke most decisively in certain of the major debates among Spanish jurists, theologians, and politicians--as well as in the Brevísima relación --in the wake of the Iberian "discovery" of what was for all concerned a physical as well as philosophical "New World." The combined focus of subsequent chapters elucidates the fundamentally juridical dimensions of the text, beginning with the specific context accompanying its genesis in 1542 until its publication a decade later. The treatise's legal character as an official publication based on various evidentiary sources is further revealed by the text's triple function--to inform, to denounce, and to petition, which in turn corresponds to the genres of relaciones, denuncias , and peticiones of the civil juridical tradition. The Brevísima relación 's content unveils far more than this; the epistemological rationale and analytic framework are intimately linked to canonistic, Thomistic, and biblical genres of the ecclesial juridical tradition. Continuing this historical investigation, the concluding chapter demonstrates anew the fundamental grounding of Las Casas's approach in the vibrant first generations of juristic discourse of the so-called Spanish colonial era. His multifaceted juridical voice was distinctively encoded in a powerful melding of civil and ecclesial legal traditions. This dissertation intends to communicate this voice intelligibly with the proper accents of the past.

Historians have emphasized the implications of women as defendants but have yet to examine other capacities that women fulfilled before the Old Bailey. I argue that women's appearances as prosecutrixes and witnesses illustrate their overlooked, but vital, contributions to the legal system. A detailed study of the cases brought before the Old Bailey in 1786 highlights women's involvement and the court response, thereby revealing another aspect of discretionary justice within the legal system. Moving beyond the courtroom, my work looks at what trial records uncover about women's interactions at the neighborhood level. Communal networks show the application of law on a personal level and daily basis, which also points to the importance of women's involvement within their neighborhoods. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

Scholars of medicine, reproduction, and gender in the United States have traced the medicalization of pregnancy and interactions between parents and medical authorities. These works explore the interplay of medicine, society, and reproduction, but they do not address the history of genetic counseling. I argue that doctors and patients reciprocally shaped each other's thinking about reproduction in the mid-twentieth century. Parents' desires for normal, healthy children shaped the development of genetic counseling by motivating them to seek the services of genetic counselors. These prospective parents' expectations and desires had an outsized influence on the development of genetic counseling because counselors were sensitive to possible associations with eugenics and were careful not to tell parents what to do with the genetic information they provided. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

Flier, Hannah (University of Oregon, July 11, 2013)[more][less]Narath, Albert Flier, Hannah 2013-07-11T19:57:35Z 2013-07-11T19:57:35Z 2013-07-11 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/12948 According to current models, 19th century American quilts are presented as simple objects of cultural heritage or considered for their similarities to other forms of modern art. This thesis follows a three part approach in order to study these objects which are valuable sources of historical information in their full context. This approach includes the historical, social/aesthetic, and material contexts of the objects. The topic of the study is the quilts of the Bethel and Aurora colonies, 19th century Christian "utopian" sects in Missouri and Oregon. While societies such as the Bethel and Aurora colonies shunned many aspects of modernization, quilts appear to be an area of connection with the outside world. The quilts serve as material evidence for the tension between communal and secular worldviews in the colonies. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.
