Article: Having supportive social relationships is associated with reduced risk of unrecognized HIV infection among black and Latino men who have sex with men.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We examined the hypothesis that black and Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) who have supportive social relationships with other people are less likely to have unrecognized HIV infection compared with MSM of color who report lower levels of social support. We interviewed 1286 black and Latino MSM without known HIV infection in three metropolitan areas who were recruited using respondent driven sampling. Participants completed a computer-administered questionnaire and were tested for HIV. Unrecognized HIV infection was found in 118 men (9.2%). MSM who scored higher on the supportive relationship index had significantly lower odds of testing HIV-positive in the study. The mediation analysis identified two possible behavioral pathways that may partially explain this association: men who had strong supportive relationships were more likely to have had a test for HIV infection in the past 2 years and less likely to have recently engaged in high-risk sexual behavior. The findings illuminate the protective role of social relationships among MSM of color in our sample.AIDS and Behavior 07/2011; 16(3):508-15. DOI:10.1007/s10461-011-0002-3 · 3.49 Impact Factor
Article: Continuing HIV risk in New York City injection drug users: the association of syringe source and syringe sharing.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Sterile syringe access is an important means to reduce HIV risk, but many injection drug users (IDU) who obtain syringes from sterile sources continue to share syringes. We examined the factors associated with continuing syringe sharing in New York City. We recruited 500 active IDU in 2005 through respondent-driven sampling. In multiple logistic regression, not obtaining all syringes in the past year exclusively from sterile sources was associated with increased syringe sharing. Ensuring adequate syringe availability as well as engaging and retaining nonusers and inconsistent users in sterile syringe services may increase sterile syringe access and decrease syringe sharing.Substance Use & Misuse 01/2011; 46(2-3):192-200.

ABSTRACT: HIV testing is an important HIV prevention strategy, yet heterosexuals at high risk do not test as frequently as other groups. We examined the association of past year HIV testing and encounters with institutional settings where the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends annual testing for high-risk heterosexuals. We recruited high-risk heterosexuals in New York City in 2006 to 2007 through respondent-driven sampling. Respondents were asked the date of their most recent HIV test and any potential encounters with 4 testing settings (homeless shelters, jails/prisons, drug treatment programs, and health care providers). Analyses were stratified by gender. Of the 846 respondents, only 31% of men and 35% of women had a past year HIV test, but over 90% encountered at least one testing setting. HIV seroprevalence was 8%. In multiple logistic regression, recent HIV testing was significantly associated with recent encounters with homeless shelters and jails/prisons for men, and encounters with health care providers for both men and women. HIV testing was low overall but higher for those with exposures to potential routine testing settings. Further expansion of testing in these settings would likely increase testing rates and may decrease new HIV infections among high-risk heterosexuals.Sexually transmitted diseases 08/2009; 36(11):704-10.

Article: Same-sex attraction disclosure to health care providers among New York City men who have sex with men: implications for HIV testing approaches.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends at least annual human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening for men who have sex with men (MSM), a large number of HIV infections among this population go unrecognized. We examined the association between disclosing to their medical providers (eg, physicians, nurses, physician assistants) same-sex attraction and self-reported HIV testing among MSM in New York City, New York. All men recruited from the New York City National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) project who reported at least 1 male sex partner in the past year and self-reported as HIV seronegative were included in the analysis. The primary outcome of interest was a participant having told his health care provider that he is attracted to or has sex with other men. Sociodemographic and behavioral factors were examined in relation to disclosure of same-sex attraction. Among the 452 MSM respondents, 175 (39%) did not disclose to their health care providers. Black and Hispanic MSM (adjusted odds ratios, 0.28 [95% confidence interval, 0.14-0.53] and 0.46 [95% confidence interval, 0.24-0.85], respectively) were less likely than white MSM to have disclosed to their health care providers. No MSM who identified themselves as bisexual had disclosed to their health care providers. Those who had ever been tested for HIV were more likely to have disclosed to their health care providers (adjusted odds ratio, 2.10; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-4.38). These data suggest that risk-based HIV testing, which is contingent on health care providers being aware of their patients' risks, could miss these high-risk persons.Archives of internal medicine 08/2008; 168(13):1458-64.

Article: Risk factors for delayed initiation of medical care after diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The full benefit of timely diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is realized only if there is timely initiation of medical care. We used routine surveillance data to measure time to initiation of care in New York City residents diagnosed as having HIV by positive Western blot test in 2003. The time between the first positive Western blot test and the first reported viral load and/or CD4 cell count or percentage was used to indicate the interval from initial diagnosis of HIV (non-AIDS) to first HIV-related medical care visit. Using Cox proportional hazards regression, we identified variables associated with delayed initiation of care and calculated their hazard ratios (HRs). Of 1928 patients, 1228 (63.7%) initiated care within 3 months of diagnosis, 369 (19.1%) initiated care later than 3 months, and 331 (17.2%) never initiated care. Predictors of delayed care were as follows: diagnosis at a community testing site (HR, 1.9; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.5-2.3), the city correctional system (HR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.2-2.0), or Department of Health sexually transmitted diseases or tuberculosis clinics (HR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.1-1.6) vs a site with colocated primary medical care; nonwhite race/ethnicity (HR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.5-2.0); injection drug use (HR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.1-1.5); and location of birth outside the United States (HR, 1.1; 95% CI, 1.0-1.2). A total of 1597 persons (82.8%) diagnosed as having HIV in 2003 ever initiated care, most within 3 months of diagnosis. Initiation of care was most timely when diagnosis occurred at a testing site that offered colocated medical care. Improving referrals by nonmedical sites is critical. However, because most diagnoses occur in medical sites, improving linkage in these sites will have the greatest effect on timely initiation of care.Archives of internal medicine 07/2008; 168(11):1181-7.

Article: Self-reported tuberculosis disease and tuberculin skin testing in the New York City House Ballroom community.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We sought to describe the history of tuberculosis disease and tuberculin skin testing among the New York City House Ballroom community--a social network of diverse sexual and gender identities or expressions. Members of the House Ballroom community were convenience sampled, surveyed, and tested for HIV in 2004. We identified characteristics associated with history of tuberculosis, tuberculin skin testing, and test positivity and described the timing of skin testing. Of 504 participants, 1.4% (n=7) reported a history of tuberculosis and 81.1% (n=404 of 498) had received a tuberculin skin test. Of those tested, 16 (4%) had positive results, which indicated latent infection, and 68% had received a test in the 2 years prior to the survey. Participants with health insurance were more likely and those with little education were less likely to have received a skin test. HIV-infected participants (16%) were not more likely to have received a tuberculin skin test compared with non-HIV-infected individuals. Foreign-born participants and self-identified heterosexuals and bisexuals were more likely to have had positive skin tests. Self-reported history of tuberculosis was high among the House Ballroom community. Although many community members had a recent skin test, further efforts should target services to those who are HIV infected, have low education, lack health insurance, or are foreign born.American Journal of Public Health 07/2008; 98(6):1068-73.

ABSTRACT: We measured HIV seroprevalence and associated risk factors among persons in New York City's house ball community. In 2004 we conducted a venue-based risk-behavior survey and HIV testing in the house ball community. Of the 504 study participants, 67% were male, 14% female, and 18% transgender. Mean age was 24 years (range=15-52 years); 55% were Black, and 40% were Latino. More than 85% of participants had previously been tested for HIV, although only 60% had been tested in the previous 12 months. Of the 84 (17%) persons who tested positive for HIV in our study, 61 (73%) were unaware of their HIV status. A logistic regression analysis on data from 371 participants who had had a male sexual partner in the previous 12 months showed that HIV-infected participants were more likely than were HIV-negative participants to be Black, to be older than 29 years, and not to have been tested for HIV in the previous 12 months. Culturally specific community-level prevention efforts are warranted to reduce risk behaviors and increase the frequency of HIV testing in New York City's house ball community.American Journal of Public Health 07/2008; 98(6):1074-80.

Article: A Comparative Analysis of Sexual Risk Characteristics of Black Men Who Have Sex with Men or with Men and Women[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Many behavioral studies of Black men fail to differentiate between those who have sex exclusively with men (MSM) and those who have sex with both men and women (MSMW). Respondent-driven sampling was used to recruit a total of 1,154 Black MSM and MSMW in New York City and Philadelphia. In descriptive analyses, MSMW and MSM were compared on several demographic, health, and behavioral risk correlates using chi-square tests. Differences in prevalence of unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) between these two groups were examined in two multivariate logistic regressions. Age, country of birth, self-identified sexual orientation, experience of being forced to have sex, self-reported HIV status, exchange sex for money/food/ drug, and drug use in the past 3 months were significantly associated with either insertive or receptive UAI in the past 3 months. The strongest correlate of either insertive or receptive UAI among both groups of men was engaging in exchange sex. Differences between MSMW and MSM were found in the areas of forced sexual experiences, disclosure of same sex behavior, and history of being arrested or incarcerated. Findings from our study highlight the need for specific HIV prevention interventions targeting Black MSMW as distinguished from Black MSM.Archives of Sexual Behavior 06/2008; 37(5):697-707.

Article: Circumcision status and HIV infection among Black and Latino men who have sex with men in 3 US cities.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To examine characteristics of circumcised and uncircumcised Latino and black men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United States and assess the association between circumcision and HIV infection. Using respondent-driven sampling, 1154 black MSM and 1091 Latino MSM were recruited from New York City, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. A 45-minute computer-assisted interview and a rapid oral fluid HIV antibody test (OraSure Technologies, Bethlehem, PA) were administered to participants. Circumcision prevalence was higher among black MSM than among Latino MSM (74% vs. 33%; P < 0.0001). Circumcised MSM in both racial/ethnic groups were more likely than uncircumcised MSM to be born in the United States or to have a US-born parent. Circumcision status was not associated with prevalent HIV infection among Latino MSM, black MSM, black bisexual men, or black or Latino men who reported being HIV-negative based on their last HIV test. Further, circumcision was not associated with a reduced likelihood of HIV infection among men who had engaged in unprotected insertive and not unprotected receptive anal sex. In these cross-sectional data, there was no evidence that being circumcised was protective against HIV infection among black MSM or Latino MSM.JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes 01/2008; 46(5):643-50.

Conference Paper: Association of Syringe Source and Syringe Sharing in New York City[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background. HIV incidence is decreasing among injection drug users (IDU) in New York City, where sterile syringes are available from multiple legal sources. Nevertheless, many IDU continue to share syringes. We explored the relationship between syringe source and sharing. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of active IDU recruited through respondent-driven sampling as part of CDC's National HIV Behavioral Surveillance. In a structured interview, participants were asked where they obtained syringes and whether they shared syringes in the past year. Results. 500 eligible IDU completed the study between July December 2005. Participants obtained syringes from a syringe exchange (71%), pharmacy (51%), medical provider (11%), friend (55%), or drug dealer (29%). 21% shared syringes. In multiple logistic regression controlling for demographic and injection-related factors (e.g., frequency of injection and number of drugs injected) associated with syringe source, IDU who obtained syringes from a syringe exchange were less likely to share syringes (OR=0.6, p<0.05) while IDU who obtained syringes from a friend (OR=2.2, p<0.01), or a dealer (OR=2.0, p=0.01) were twice as likely to share syringes. Obtaining syringes from a medical provider or pharmacy did not significantly influence sharing. Conclusions. Syringe sharing varied by source of syringes. Obtaining syringes from drug dealers and friends increased the likelihood of sharing. Two sterile syringe sources (pharmacies and medical providers) were not associated with decreased syringe sharing. Only syringe exchange was associated with a significant decrease in syringe sharing. Exchange programs successfully reduce risk through counseling and support services that other sources cannot provide.135st APHA Annual Meeting and Exposition 2007; 11/2007
Article: Amphetamine use and sexual risk among men who have sex with men: results from the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance study--New York City.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A 2004-2005 survey among 503 men who have sex with men who attend public venues in New York City was used to examine the relationship of amphetamine use with sexual risk behaviors. Among the men recruited, 51.1% were under 30 years of age, 27.4% were Latino, and 23.3% were African American. Most identified as either gay (78.9%) or bisexual (18.1%). A standardized questionnaire collected data on demographics, sexual risk behaviors, drug and alcohol use, history of HIV testing, and occurrences of sexually transmitted infections. Amphetamine use in the past year was reported by 13.8%. Of those, 71.0% used amphetamines with sex. Amphetamine use was associated with unprotected receptive anal intercourse with non-main partners. In event-specific analysis, amphetamine use was higher with unprotected encounters compared with protected encounters. This study confirms the association between amphetamine use and sexual risk furthers our understanding of risky circumstances and lays the groundwork for the design of interventions.Substance Use & Misuse 02/2007; 42(10):1613-28.

I'm using AutoLayout to make a NSWindow resize to the content's intrinsic size. This works quite well the first time I add a subview to the NSWindow's contentView and then add a visual constraint such as "H:|[view]|" and "V:|[view]|".
I later remove this view (removeFromSuperView) and add another view to the window and add the new constraints for the newly added view. However at this point the NSWindow does not shrink to take up the minimum size of the new view. It instead 'expands' the newly added view to reflect the old size of the Window.
I've set content hugging priority for the contentView to 1000 (horizontal and vertical) thinking that would work however nothing does. I've also tried calling invalidateIntrinsicContentSize on the newly added view as well as updateConstraints on the NSWindow but nothing works.

Honda Accord Problem Report
Honda Accord Head Gasket May Fail if Engine Overheats
(16 reports)
The head gaskets are prone to fail if the engine overheats. When the temperature climbs above the normal operating temperature, turn the heater on the hottest setting, pull over, and shut the engine off to allow the engine to cool down.
When the radiator went and car over heated after replacing radiator, I noticed some oil when replacing spark plugs and the amount of oil increased. - danct5689

Intensive summer music camp has public performances
Statesman Journal (Jun 25)
"Few Salem residents have heard of the summer arts camp, even though Willamette University has been hosting it since 1974. In the coming weeks, the program's 250 students — fourth through 12th grades — will gather from across Oregon and the Northwest to study music, theater, art, dance, writing and photography. The students, staff and guest artists will offer free performances. Quinland Porter, the program's executive director, hopes locals will attend.
'They will be impressed,' Porter said. 'It's very inspiring to see young people who are dedicated to learning.'"
Mary Purvine was real-life 'Dr. Quinn'
Statesman Journal (Jun 21)
"Purvine was one of Oregon's first female doctors. She graduated from medical school at Willamette University in 1903 — the oldest medical school in the West at the time — and maintained a practice in Salem for more than half a century.
She died of natural causes in 1965, at the age of 84, and was interred at City View Cemetery. Her gravesite is marked by a simple but elegant marble headstone. The matching stone next to hers is that of her husband, Ellis, who died 28 years before her."

"During his first year at Willamette, Reinhardt was deeply influenced by Bill Smaldone, E.J. Whipple Professor of History, who taught German history. Smaldone recalls Reinhardt as an energetic, curious and hardworking student who stood out from the beginning.
Smaldone's wife, Jennifer Jopp, is now the heritage center's board president. She recalled how Reinhardt impressed her when he taught at Willamette during his doctoral studies. One summer, he taught a course about Zena Farm.
'He always goes above and beyond,' Jopp said. 'He didn't just teach the course; he and his students wrote a book about it.'"
Retiring teacher leaves behind a classroom full of history
TheTimes (Jun 3)
"For someone who's been a teacher for so long, it might seem natural that teaching had been a lifelong dream, that from Day 1 she'd wanted to enlighten young minds. But no.
When Evans started college at Willamette University, she wanted to be a political speech writer and was pursing a degree in American studies. Then, at a speech competition at the University of Portland her sophomore year, one of the nuns grading her took Evans aside and asked what her major was. Not satisfied with Evans' answer, the nun contacted a counselor at Willamette, who brought Evans in and told her she had to take an education class."

Friends, Family and Startup Fundraising: Risky Business?
U.S. News (May 27)
"'Startup investing is the exact opposite of a 'get rich quick' proposition,' adds Chris Tsai, co-founder and CEO of Celery, an e-commerce platform that helps startups sell their merchandise. 'Ninety percent of startups fail, and any startups that survive will likely lock up your capital for an extended period of time.' He adds: 'The average venture-backed IPO takes seven years.'
Still, the potential returns can be enticing. When Robert Wiltbank of Willamette University led the largest study to date of angel investors – affluent individuals who supply capital for a business startup – he found that angels made more than 2.5 times their initial investment. Still, the odds of a positive return in any single investment were less than 50 percent.
That said, Wiltbank released his landmark study in 2007 – the year the first iPhone was introduced – so it's hard to gauge how much the odds have improved, if at all. Even startups making what's called 'the ask' have lots of questions they learn to answer along the way."
WWII ace from Salem to be honored in nation's capital
Statesman Journal (May 19)
"Bruce Wade Williams grew up in Salem, attending Englewood Elementary School, Parrish Junior High and Salem High School. He went on to play football and basketball at Willamette University, earning a degree in liberal arts.
He was enrolled in law school at Willamette in 1940-41, when he joined the Navy Air Corps and became a fighter pilot.
Williams flew the Grumman F6F Hellcat and became an ace — a designation earned for shooting down at least five enemy planes in aerial combat — during the fall of 1944. He also fortified the legend of the Hellcat."
College journalism that makes this instructor proud

" I've taught Journalistic Writing at Willamette for 15 years, and the Collegian has come a long way. Most of its editors, including outgoing editor-in-chief Zane Sparling, were far better managers than I was 40 years ago as editor of the Linfield College paper.
Today is Willamette's commencement, and I am unable to attend due to family obligations. So to honor the student journalists, I'd like to share an example of their work.
Here is a profile of Gov. Kate Brown's communications director that graduating senior Emily Hoard wrote as an assignment for my just-completed Journalistic Writing II class and which was published in the Collegian on April 29. It is shortened for space here but otherwise only lightly edited by me."

Salem WWII veteran flew 'whatever airplane the military had'
Statesman Journal (May 9)
"Specht, 98, was raised on a 17-acre farm in Silverton. His father was a logger and his mother a seamstress. He wasn't one of those kids who grew up enamored with airplanes and dreaming of flying, and he didn't plan to work in the local sawmills after graduating from high school.
He scraped together the $75 a semester needed to attend Willamette University, where he majored in economics and played basketball for the Bearcats. That was back in the day when there was a center jump after each successful basket. The rules were changed his junior year.
Specht graduated in 1939 and went to work for the Union Oil Co. in Seattle. He rose quickly from steaming empty barrels to placing orders for the warehouse, a promising start to what he thought would be a long and successful career with the company.
The war and the draft changed all that."
Occidental educator bound for Galapagos after landing National Geographic fellowship
The Press Democrat (May 9)
"Detrich, 36, was chosen from 2,700 applicants, along with 34 others from several different U.S. states and three Canadian provinces. They'll be shipping out in October aboard the National Geographic Endeavour, a 96-guest ship fully equipped with tools for exploration. Highlights of the trip will be close encounters with marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies and giant tortoises. To help Detrich acclimate to the Galapagos, her friends have gifted her with blue nail polish.
Detrich has always been interested in the environment and conservation. She earned a bachelor's degree in environmental science from Willamette University in Oregon and a master's degree from Miami University in Ohio, where she focused on community-based and global conservation."

Hooste, 44, received his bachelor of science from Utah State University in 1997 and his Juris Doctorate from Willamette University College of Law in Salem, Oregon, in May of 2000. He is currently a resident of Firth and is an associate attorney with EchoHawk Law."
Dr. Jay Brunner "Honored" to be Apple Citizen of the Year
Basin Business Journal (May 1)
"Brunner is Director and Professor at the Washington State University Tree Fruit Research and Extension Center in Wenatchee. He has been selected as the Apple Citizen of the Year for the 2015 Apple Blossom Festival. 'It was a great surprise and a great honor,' he says of being selected. He adds than when you look at who has been chosen in the past, 'it's an honor to be included in a group of people like that.'
Brunner graduated Pendleton High School in Portland in 1965 and from there he went to Willamette University in Salem for his undergraduate work in biology. A professor, knowing he liked applied science, suggested he concentrate on entomology. 'I like nature and insects are part of that,' Brunner explains. He received his MS and Ph.D. from Washington State University and started working at the extension center in Wenatchee in 1978 after spending three years working in Michigan. He's been the director of the Extension Center since 2000, saying he spends half his time on administration and half on research. He's now winding his work down as he plans to retire in August."

Proposal aims to override Oregon's GMO pre-emption
Capital Press (Apr 8)
"Currently, the state government can pre-empt cities and counties action on nearly every subject, said Paul Diller, a law professor at Willamette University.
'This amendment would flip that presumption in many more instances,' he said.
While the proposed amendment wouldn't have any power over federal pre-emption — that would require a change to the U.S. Constitution — it would override state pre-emption with a simple majority vote if it gets on the ballot, Diller said."
No Deal: Should prosecutors be forced to have their plea bargains approved by juries?
Slate (Apr 7)
"There's no question that the plea bargaining process allows our criminal justice system to function more efficiently than it would otherwise. But critics see it as a coercive end run around the rights of the accused—especially the poor, who can't afford lawyers and must rely on overworked public defenders to represent them—as well as a tool for overzealous prosecutors who prioritize winning over seeing justice done. One of these critics is Laura Appleman, a professor at the Willamette University College of Law, and in her new book, Defending the Jury: Crime, Community, and the Constitution, she proposes an intriguing and original solution to the plea bargaining problem: Instead of letting prosecutors and defense attorneys hammer out plea deals behind closed doors and then get them rubber-stamped by judges, we should introduce regular people into the process—by convening a 'plea jury.'"

Professor Chris Harris said Willamette's 'old school apprenticeship' approach involves students working side by side with faculty and eventually becoming their colleagues in the creative process. He said students who go on to succeed develop a hunger for the collaborative and creative process."

"For Jerry Greenfield — the Jerry of none other than Ben & Jerry's ice cream — there's a spirituality inherent in business.
"As you give, you receive," he said, speaking to a crowd at Willamette University on Wednesday night. "Just because the idea that the good you do comes back to you is written in the Bible doesn't mean it isn't a good business idea."
Greenfield spoke as a guest of Willamette's Atkinson Lecture Series on the values that drove his business from a gas station in Vermont to a nationally beloved brand."
Birth Of A (Christian) Nation: Scholars Debate The Genesis Of A Popular Myth
Wall of Separation (Mar 16)
"This July, former Americans United Legal Director Steven K. Green will publish a new book titled Inventing a Christian America: The Myth of the Religious Founding. I received an early copy and read it a few weeks ago. Green, who is now a professor of law at Willamette University in Oregon, argues that the "Christian nation" myth springs from the 1820s, during a time of growing religious piety when a generation that rose up after the Founding Fathers began to cast about for a foundational myth that would link the still-new nation with the Almighty in a profound way."

"Recognizing the importance of the future of local government, Kirsten, along with Kent, a senior management analyst in Tigard, Oregon, co-founded Emerging Local Government Leaders (ELGL). ELGL connects, communicates, and educates about local government topics. The organization's philosophy is that 'there's no one pathway to leadership' and provides anyone with a passion for public service with stories, webinars, and other professional development opportunities. Kirsten describes ELGL's relationship with organizations like ICMA, GFOA, and state and local government management organizations as augmentative 'and provides unique learning and networking opportunities to our members.'
Most recently, Kirsten and ELGL are specifically addressing the ICMA Task Force on Women in the Profession report. The report, which showed that the percentage of women in CAO roles has not increased since 1984, is the topic of a series of learning and sharing opportunities. Adopting the tag #13Percent from the report's findings, the ELGL effort encompasses members from across the country working together to raise this issue to prominence."

Do millennials care about the Kitzhaber scandal?
Statesman Journal (Feb 16)
"The question of relevancy is weighty among millennials. Millennials will often consume and respond to the news that has a connection to issues they personally care about, said Cindy Koenig Richards, professor and chair of the Civic Communication and Media Department at Willamette University.
'Millennials think through and make connections between something like the resignation of the governor and what that means for the issues that they are most deeply invested in,' she said. 'I'm hearing a lot of students talk about, what does this transition mean for immigration reform? What about sustainability?'"

Beyond the Finish Line
ASBMB Today (Feb 5)
"Willamette's faculty noted Symmonds' ability to put his nose to the grindstone. 'I think Nick would have made a very good biochemist,' states Todd Silverstein, Symmonds' adviser in the chemistry department. "His level of understanding and his work ethic were quite good.' In fact, Silverstein points out, Symmonds 'accomplished more on our ongoing enzyme inhibition project than any other previous student, with perhaps one exception.'
Such determination and dedication served Symmonds well on the track, where he became the second-ranked American runner at 800 meters during his senior year in college. His achievements caught the attention of Nike, which signed him to a sponsorship deal that allowed him to focus all of his energy on training after he graduated in 2006. He won the 800 meters at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials, earning his ticket to the Olympics."

Catch-22: Coming out can quell gay slurs, but fear of homophobia hinders closeted athletes
USA Today (Jun 4)
"Conner Mertens, a placekicker at Division IIIWillamette University in Oregon who in January 2014 came out as the first openly bisexual college football player, understands the double-bind of that disconnect.
'Growing up and playing sports, you hear a lot of, "Don't be gay,"' he says. 'I don't think people were actually saying, "Don't be homosexual." I think they were saying don't be weak. When you're deeply in the closet, you can't see from their lens because it cuts so deeply. You interpret it as, "They're onto you, they know my secret and are out to get me." Something not meant to be mean can be incredibly hurtful.'

Strategies: You're a start-up, college grad

"The Class of 2015 is just about in the middle of the Millennial generation, the largest demographic group since the Baby Boomers. They are shaping our collective futures.
This past weekend, one member of that class, my niece Kayley Abrams, graduated from Willamette University in Salem, Ore. I got to meet a number of her fellow graduates, and if I were an investor, I'd put my money on many of these human start-ups.
I am confident that success is in their future — and ours. Congrats to all!"
Willamette University grads urged to 'be bold, give back'
Statesman Journal (May 18)
"Piluso used one of the film's iconic scenes, where Cameron stares at a photo of a little girl, to illustrate the point that the longer we look at something or look inside ourselves, the more we find.
'I believe the more you look at something the more there is to look at. We are all made of dots, really. And we shove those dots together, where they be professors, friends and coffee … We've added a layer to ourselves in our time here.'
One of those students looking inside himself to figure out his path was Bryan Martz, who graduated with a degree in rhetoric and media studies. The South Salem High School alumnus said he was looking for jobs in sports marketing, with Nike being his dream destination. Until then, however, he will stay at Willamette a little longer, working at a summer position in the communications office."
Drive to eliminate homophobia in sports continues
TSN (May 17)
"I just got done living my entire life in a small town where I was 100 per cent not allowed to be bisexual,' Mertens told TSN.ca. 'I got to college and I definitely was just exhausted and it was a tired that you can't sleep off. I didn't want to feel like that anymore. I knew it was all stemming from the fact that I was spending every minute of every day trying to suppress this side of me that was – obviously, it's not a defining characteristic, but it was a part of me and a big part of my life.'
'I was in an environment that I felt safe and I had met Wade and I had talked to Wade and it became the right time to do it. That's such a hard thing to say because I don't know if there's such a thing as 'the right time' to do it, but it was the least bad time to do it. I just felt like I wanted to begin my college football career with my focus on football and football only and not have to drag along the baggage of being in the closet.'"

The Atkinson School of Management at Willamette University has a sustainability concentration and Arizona State University, under Earth Institute founder and ASU President Michael Crow, has a thriving set of programs in its path-breaking School of Sustainability. Last week, I had the honor of visiting with the excellent faculty and students of one of the nation's newest sustainability masters programs at Wake Forest University in North Carolina."
Community exclusion from criminal justice costs much
Statesman Journal (May 9)
"Once again the local community – this time in Baltimore, Maryland – calls for investigation into the procedure of criminal justice. And once again the public feels angry and helpless, confronting grave disparity in the criminal process but remaining distanced from its solution.
Much of this rage and despair can be attributed to the modern community's exile from the justice system. Our current model of criminal justice marginalizes the local populace to mere bystanders during criminal procedure and adjudication, cutting them almost completely out of the process. This community exclusion is draining our public coffers, filling our prisons and creating a continual, lingering sense of injustice."

'Tom Prochaska and Christy Wyckoff: In the Footsteps of Charles Heaney,' featuring about 30 drawings created by Prochaska and Wyckoff on the recent excursion, will be on exhibit Saturday, May 9, through July 19 at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, 700 State St."

"It might also help us to understand the citations of poems in movies or TV shows from the past fifty or sixty years that sometimes sample — and perhaps thus kitsch, or perhaps begin to make cliche — verbal artifacts from literary culture in a way that parallels the incorporation of the vernacular by elite poetry and demonstrates how the "bridge" of kitsch between them does in fact run in two directions.

Defending The Jury: An Interview With Laura Appleman
Above the Law (Apr 16)
"The book was actually inspired by two things. First, the frustration and unhappiness I saw when I was a public defender in New York County, much of which stemmed from a feeling that criminal justice was this secret process run by 'the Man,' with offenders' families and communities completely shut out of the process. Second, I was struck by the irony of having a criminal justice process based heavily on the tenet of community participation — that a jury of your peers, from the surrounding neighborhood, would determine any punishment you might receive — while at the same time experiencing a system that, with the advent of plea bargains, has almost completely excluded any community voice."
Are religious freedoms and non-discrimination irreconcilable?
ABC (Australia) (Apr 15)
"For Republican politicians in the U.S. states of Indiana and Arkansas, it was back to the drawing board. Public opinion and pressure from major corporations forced the legislators to redraft laws, which they said were designed to ensure religious freedom. Critics argued the laws would have permitted discrimination based on sexual orientation. So have laws that were originally bipartisan been appropriated for other political motives? The debate in the U.S. comes as Australia debates whether parents can refuse to vaccinate their children because of religious belief.
Steven Green, one of the architects of the original 1994 federal law, who now runs the Center for Religion, Law and Democracy at Willamette University in Oregon, explains."
Signs of Hope
American Sustainable Business Council (Apr 8)
"It was the first time I had seen a productive interaction between the federal government and business, and it filled me with reassuring optimism. The people leading our political system are not always the conniving, ignorant, selfish individuals so often referenced in our media and news; those at the ASBC Summit were thoughtful people who care about making our country and our world thrive, and they know that we cannot avoid the looming environmental catastrophe without the support and involvement of America's business leaders.
The vision of an ideal future of America in which business thrives without destroying the planet became concrete at the ASBC Summit. This future for which we all hope was translated into measurable policy steps that we can take as a nation to move forward. The ASBC Summit fulfilled the most important role of our time: facilitating the communication and collaboration between the policymakers, business owners, and dreamers, drawing actionable steps along the way. This conference helped make our world a more sustainable, prosperous place for every American, and it imbued me with a newfound sense of hope."
Pledge of Allegiance has history of creating wedge, and not just in Maine
Morning Sentinel (Apr 6)
"The latest legal wrinkle came in 2004, when the U.S. Supreme Court took up the case of a California parent and atheist who objected to his child's recitation of the pledge, including the 'under God' provision. The parent argued that it constituted an establishment of religion, contrary to guarantees in the First Amendment.
A lower court in California had struck 'under God' from the pledge as unconstitutional, generating widespread reaction from national politicians. But the Supreme Court reversed the decision on procedural grounds, never deciding the merits of whether having students say "under God" constituted a First Amendment violation.
'This idea of the pledge has become sort of our holy civic religion,' Green said. 'Any perceived backtracking of this is often met with a lot of hostility and opposition.'"

"The Bearcat Days are an opportunity for admitted students and their families to tour the campus, visit classrooms, attend receptions and acquaint themselves with the Salem community. Torgerson and Yost are hopeful that if Salem residents see college-age students and their parents looking a bit bewildered out and about in the city, that they will stop and direct them to a favorite restaurant, gallery or shop.
'Getting to know our faculty is one of our biggest selling points,' Torgerson said. 'Meeting them, and seeing how approachable they are and how passionate they and our students are about Willamette is big for us. But seeing Salem and its culture is equally important. We want them to see what a great community this is.'"

Although King v. Burwell could affect millions of people's health care, Howell said, the court case is not about health care at all."
Northwest Travel: A Legislative Salem
Bend Bulletin (Mar 1)
"Immediately south of the Capitol is the 61-acre campus of Willamette University. Founded by Methodist missionaries in 1842, it was the first school of higher education in the western United States. Facing the Capitol is the oldest building on campus, Waller Hall, built in 1867 and completely renovated in 1989. Today, Willamette's student body numbers about 1,750. The university's Mark O. Hatfield Library, dedicated in 1986, honors its namesake graduate, who was Oregon governor from 1959 to 1967 and a five-term senator from 1967 to 1997.
Just off campus is the school's Hallie Ford Museum of Art, two blocks from the Capitol. For its size, this is one of the best art museums in the Northwest. Exhibits rotate through every few months. Current presentations feature the cross-cultural pop-art creations of Japanese-American artist Roger Shimomura and turn-of-the-20th-century images by photographer Myra Albert Wiggins. The Carl Hall Gallery offers work by Pacific Northwest artists, historic and contemporary; the Sponenburgh Gallery surveys 4,500 years of art history from four continents."

'I made a conscious decision to get back into public service in that building,' he says of the Capitol, in a Willamette University article in 2009.
He also worked for Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem."
4 reasons you should work on campus during college
USA Today: College (Feb 12)
"'For several years, research has indicated that students who work on campus perform better academically, integrate socially, benefit from a caring work environment where supervisors are older and enjoy mentoring their students,' says Jerry Houser, associate dean and director of the career center at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. "Student staff make friends with other student workers in the same office,' Houser adds, pointing out that an on-campus job is ideal for freshmen who are trying to adjust to college life."
Karen Holman: Professor by day, punk rocker by night
Statesman Journal (Feb 10)
"Karen Holman plays punk rock poetry on her 1971 Gibson Les Paul.
When not rocking out on stage or playing her favorite exotica or garage tunes on one of her radio shows, Karen can be found at Willamette University teaching and researching."
As stress builds on college campuses, it's puppies and massage chairs to the rescue
The Oregonian (Feb 7)
"Willamette University invites students to 'refresh the senses and melt away your stress in Bishop Wellness Center's Mind Spa,' which offers free use of a private room with a reclining leather massage chair, full spectrum light, and bio-feedback system. During finals week, Willamette also schedules "Dog Days," when students can drop by a half-hour before any final exam to enjoy the unconditional canine comfort."
Winged hat thief: 'Angry Owl of Oregon' accosts 4 joggers in a month
Christian Science Monitor (Feb 6)
"Oregon wildlife officials are warning park visitors that owls can be aggressive and territorial, especially during mating and nesting season. David Craig, a biology professor and animal behavior specialist at Willamette University, said it is not that unusual for owls to defend their territory.
'When owls are nesting, they're really territorial,' Craig told the newspaper. 'Great horned owls as well as barred owls often swoop down on people, but a very small percentage get clawed and attacked like that.'"
Tom and Carlee's excellent (art) adventure at Hallie Ford
Statesman Journal (Feb 4)
"De Mambro Santos led the group's viewing and discussion of 'Eustache de Saint-Pierre, Vétu,' a towering sculpture by 19th century French artist Auguste Rodin, who is considered by many to be the father of modern sculpture. The bronze work depicts one of the Burghers of Calais, town leaders who surrendered themselves to save their city from a British siege during the Hundred Years' War.
'They wanted to interact with the piece. They were not simply there or passively absorbed,' De Mambro Santos said. 'They wanted to transform their own ideas and get a better experience. It was pedagogically very enriching. We are always dealing with a diversity of human perceptions. It's fascinating.'"
The Rodin piece is on exhibit in the museum's lobby through May 17."
Dr. Emily Drew discussing research on challenges of racial inclusion
KBOO (Jan 5)
"Dr. Emily Drew is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Ethnic Studies at Willamette University, where she teaches courses about racism, immigration, and social change. Her research agenda revolves around understanding how race and racism get institutionalized, with the goal of helping to illuminate more effective strategies for interrupting systemic inequality. Drew's newest published work in the Journal of Urban Affairs explores how a neighborhood in Portland, Oregon responds to gentrification by raising consciousness and building 'antiracist place.'"

Location was good for my traveling needsPosted Apr 27, 2015
Pros: The walk out balcony was great and the staff was very friendly.
Cons: I believe the juccuzi could be a bit larger , the pool room seemed smaller than the excercise room.
Location: I loved being close to the Cleveland Metro Park system as it was a beautiful day and the Nature Center there is awesome .
It was comfortable (although there was a teen birthday party and wedding on the Saturday I stayed ) the 3rd floor was very quiet and rested well in the comfortable bed.

Excellent customer servicePosted Mar 11, 2015
The customer service was top notch! After a long flight and being awake 28 hours straight, I arrived before the documented check in time. They allowed me to check in early without any explanation of being exhausted, long flight, etc. I was extremely gratefull to the staff at that point. I also loved having access to a treadmill. The area was cool and clean. The only negative issue was not having a restaurant on the property. There are restaurants within walking distance. (Though, no breakfast places) . They have a little bistro on the property, but the hours are very limited. I would liked to have it open during the day. However, I would recommend the property and would stay there again.

Best hotel bed ever!Posted Jan 6, 2015
Pros: The bed and linens were amazing!
Location: There are lots of restaurants in the area. I would've loved to check out Fat Heads Brewery, but surprisingly they were closed on New Year's Eve.
My boyfriend and I stayed here on our way back to New Jersey from Chicago. The hotel staff was friendly and courteous and everything was clean and modern. I can't say enough good things about the amazing sleep I had the night we stayed here. I have back problems and it was the first night I slept soundly after spending two weeks sleeping at the homes of friends and family members over the holidays. In general, the room was nice and comfortable. We had a single with 1 King bed that also had a nice couch, which we could relax on and watch TV. The bathroom was a little small with the sink and vanity located outside where the toilet and bath/shower, but overall a decent room for the rate.

Nice StayPosted Dec 1, 2014 on Hotels
My husband and I stayed one night after a day of Christmas shopping. I found the hotel to be very clean and very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. If I had to change anything, it would be the food at the Bisto, Service was good but the food is fair.
