MARQUETTE - Dan Benishek, a Republican candidate for the 1st Congressional District, picked up an endorsement Saturday from the national physicians organization Doctors for Patients PAC.
Benishek, a doctor himself, is a native of Iron River now living on Chicagoan Lake in Iron County. He is a general surgeon, having worked at the Dickinson County Memorial Hospital and at Northstar Health System. He earned his medical degree from Wayne State University in 1978.
The seat Benishek is running for is currently held by U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Menominee, who announced earlier this year he would not seek another term. The primary election is Aug. 3.

"It is unfortunate that the Congressman currently representing Michigan's 1st District has played such an important role in the passage of the misguided legislation that is already starting to ruin the doctor-patient relationship. Obamacare is causing insurance premiums to rise and is leading to the inevitable rationing of care," said Richard Armstrong, a board-certified general surgeon from Newberry, who made the endorsement announcement in the lobby of the Landmark Inn.
"It is only fitting that Dr. Benishek, physician who understands the importance of de-funding, repealing and replacing this legislation take this seat back to provide the people the representation they deserve."
Additional candidates in the race include Democrat Gary McDowell, who is currently a state representative for the 107th District, and six Republicans including Benishek, Jason Allen of Petoskey, who is currently a state senator representing the 37th District, Patrick Donlon of St. Ignace Township, Linda Goldthorpe of McMillan, Don Hooper of Iron River and Tom Stillings of downstate Eastport. The term of office is two years.
Benishek arrived in a campaign bus and most every member of the group gathered for the announcement held campaign signs which bore the candidate's slogan: "Enough is enough," which he used to open his brief remarks made on the occasion.
"I'm running for Congress because enough is enough," Benishek said.
Benishek said he supports efforts to repeal and reform healthcare.
"The healthcare bill is a complete disaster," Benishek said.
He said what there isn't enough of is integrity, common sense and jobs. Benishek said he is a pro-life candidate and supporter of 2nd Amendment gun rights.
Armstrong said in a news release the Doctors for Patients PAC will be supporting Benishek in a number of ways.
"Through advertising, grassroots activities and even direct financial support, thousands of doctors from all across the district and all across the nation will be making sure their voices are heard now to that Dr. Benishek's will be heard in the next United States Congress," Armstrong said.

Study: How Marriage Equality Affects Straight Couples
Here we are again: another Monday and still no Prop. 8 ruling. There's just two weeks left before the end of the current Supreme Court term, so we're closing in on a day of decision.
But even while we wait for the court's opinion, marriage equality continues to march forward around the country. Researchers at Portland State University have a new study out that documents the effect that marriage equality has on heterosexual marriage rates. Can you guess the effect? Did you guess "none" Well done.
And then there's a plan to go to the ballot in Michigan. It could happen in 2014, but that doesn't give organizers much time. It seems more likely that it'll be 2016, a presidential election year. That certainly seemed to be a winning strategy in 2012, when four states voted in favor of equality while re-electing Barack Obama.
@CivicMinded: I'm hoping when they beat feet for a foreign vacation it is to escape the wrath of all of the bigots and zealots. Of course they might come up with a solution that pisses off a good deal of both sides and have to flee almost everyone.

Trust Me: Inside the National Trust
By Arnold Berke
There's more to downtown Detroit than loss. In fact, many buildings and theaters have been restored there. These gems are part of a splendid but unsung architectural legacy getting its due in a new book, American City: Detroit Architecture, 1845-2005 (Wayne State University Press). The album of photos by William Zbaren with text by Robert Sharoff highlights commercial and civic building, much of it from the early decades of the 20th century, when the Midwest thrived as the Sunbelt of its day. Just two prizes from that era: the Penobscot Building (1928), a mountainous art deco skyscraper, and the massive, ghostly, and vacant Michigan Central Railroad Station (1913)—in the words of Sharoff, "Detroit's most magnificent ruin." Yes, many of these landmarks are still underused or endangered. But a better future is stirring. The Trust's Midwest office and local activists have started a group called the Greater Detroit Historic Preservation Coalition, which hopes to encourage city government and private interests to embrace preservation in Motor City revitalization plans.
... Preservation pioneer Walter Mathis died in San Antonio in December. Mathis, 86, was well known for his decades of devotion to the cause—buying and restoring a Victorian mansion in the 1960s, then doing the same for 14 other houses in the 25-block neighborhood that ultimately became the King William Historic District. He filled the first house, an 1870s limestone Italianate that he dubbed Villa Finale, with vast collections of historical and decorative items. In 2003, the Trust honored him with its Crowninshield Award, the preservation movement's highest tribute. Mathis bequeathed Villa Finale to the Trust, which will open the house to the public as one of its historic sites, focusing interpretation on his life as a preservationist and collector.
... You might assume that most American presidential sites are in fine financial shape. But you'd be wrong. According to Trust public policy vice president Emily Wadhams, two-thirds of the 130-plus such birthplaces, homes, museums, memorials, and tombs—those owned by state and local governments and private groups—are fiscally stressed. To better their lot, she testified to a Senate committee in November in support of the Presidential Sites Improvement Act, which would grant $5 million annually to these nonfederal venues, favoring the neediest among them. Sen. Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) is sponsoring the Senate bill, a companion to which was introduced in the House by Rep. Paul Gillmor (R-Ohio).
... Thanks to $1 million from Lowe's, Northeast region restoration projects will get a boost. Selected by the Trust and the home improvement giant, bricks-and-mortar grants from $25,000 to $100,000 are going out to 10 landmarks open to the public. These include a bedchamber at Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House in Concord, Mass.; the garden and gatehouse at Camden Harbor Park and Amphitheatre in Camden, Maine; the Pearl S. Buck House in Perkasie, Pa.; and the Robert Sherman Windmill in Newport, R.I. (It's a "smock mill," I'm told, an eight-sided structure that tapers as it goes up.) The money comes from Lowe's new Charitable and Educational Foundation Preservation Fund.
... In case you hadn't noticed, Preservation Month will be soon at hand. The all-May merriment will embrace activities and events on both local and national stages. Hometown revels include tours, open houses, work projects, parades, awards ceremonies, anti-razing rallies, and a host of other happenings. For guidance, go to the Trust's Web site at www.nationaltrust.org (hit the link under "get involved"). While you're there, inspect the Trust's own roster of events, especially those at its 24 historic sites open to the public. If you haven't looked into attending—or better yet, helping organize—the Preservation Month celebration in your town, now's the time to do so.

Deciding to homeschool your children is not an easy decision. There are lots of different programs available, and teaching your own children can seem impossible. Keep reading for some helpful tips that can make this decision easier.
Check out your State's mandates before purchasing curriculum. Following the rules is vital to assure that your curriculum is legitimate. The majority of States have a standard curriculum, but you also might have to put together something on your own. Most of the time, you should base your homeschooling year on that of the school district.
If you have a new baby or toddler, homeschooling your older child can be a challenge. It is important to schedule times to focus on each child. Look for things to do that are great for both ages. Find ways to get your children engaged in cooperative learning and let them learn to work together.
You do not have to rely solely on textbooks for reading materials. Kids have to read everything they can get their hands on. Interesting discussions can develop as a result of current events, so have your child read timely articles as a way to further their education. Also, this will help your child to analyze more, instead of just working off a book.
Contact other homeschooling families and go on group trips together. That will be fun, and your children can interact with similar kids. You can also get group rates for certain places you go to.
When preschoolers are part of your homeschool mix, make time for each one individually. Prepare a space with some toys and crafts for your preschoolers. If possible, allow your student to interact with and 'teach' the younger ones. This gives your old kids confidence and pride, and it helps the little ones learn.
You are probably feeling more confident about your decision at this point. These tips will allow you to properly teach your children in your own home. You will soon feel the joy that comes with watching your kids learn what you are teaching them.

Most writers and artists love a good Moleskine notebook. What's better than your favorite notebook? One that is custom-designed just for you. A while back, it was trendy to laser-engrave the Moleskine, until folk realized the process unleashed toxic gases.
But, there is an alternative: the return of the old school book cover, only way sexier. Engrave Your Book specializes in translating artwork and images onto hand-crafted leather Moleskine covers. You can choose from their artist series or design your own. It's $60 but the covers only get better with age.

Skip to comments.Do you have a degree in economics?
Posted on 07/20/2011 12:01:05 PM PDT by mandaladon
Matt Lewis flags this must-see moment from MSNBC, admittedly a phrase heard only slightly more often than the good judgment of Anthony Weiner. Contessa Brewer gets into an argument over economic policy with Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), and tries to talk him down by snidely asking him whether he has a degree in economics which, to Brewers embarrassment, Brooks does: Brooks actually has three degrees: political science, economics, and law. As a lawyer, Brooks would have been experienced enough not to make Brewers mistake in a cross-examination, which is to ask a question without first knowing the answer. Not only that, but Brewer was being flat-out rude as well as foolish; MSNBC invited Brooks to appear to get his perspective on the issues. If their hosts respond by belittling them (whether it backfires or not), what does that say about MSNBC, its management, and the kind of invitations they make?
Since Brewer made an issue out of having an economics degree before engaging in economics debates, she must have a doctorate in the subject herself, right? Not exactly. According to her Wikipedia entry, Brewer has a baccalaureate in broadcast journalism (magna cum laude). Apparently they didnt teach interviewing skills at Syracuse, or logic either, as a requisite for the degree.
As it happens, I dont have a degree in economics (or journalism), either. I think that its entirely possible that the 2008 collapse could have triggered a deflationary spiral that would have created a depression instead of a sharp recession absent the interventions in the fall of that year; its at least an arguable point. I dont have an issue with Brewer discussing economics without a degree, except that she doesnt seem sharp enough to grasp the issues on her own
(Excerpt) Read more at hotair.com ...
Not just that, note the comment that tried to make it sound that Mo did not have a Degree in Economics, who was then taken to school himself by other comments (undoubtedly freepers).
What qualifications does Ms. Brewer have, other than being able to read a TelePrompTer?
No but I can Add and Subtract. The Parasites must be weaned off the "Free Deal" and the Agencies that control it dismantled and eliminated.
Just as a matter of course:
Anyone who can't define the difference between "Supply & Demand" and "Quantity Supplied & Quantity Demanded" is not qualified to speak on any economic subject.
This was posted already, but here is another special Contessa Brewer moment...
two words. Casting. Couch.
"What qualifications does Ms. Brewer have, other than being able to read a TelePrompTer?"
She is an affirmative action chick.
so funny, blame it on the "script"
I may not have an econ degree, but I'd go over her figures anyday.
Economics is dismal, but not a "Science", unable to predict, based on theory.
Brooks: "Yes, I do. Highest honors."
Her degree is what all they have the illiterate Orange ballplayers take so that they don't go ineligible. Let that sink in a while.
She's a contessa.
I might not have a degree in Economics,
but I know when I'm out of money.
Note to Ms. Brewer: make sure you do a little quick background on you subject before you interview him/her.
Seriously, she studied journalism. Common sense alone begs that (even if you're not a journalist) if you're going to interview someone, it's a good idea to know a little something about the person you're interviewing.
She may not have a degree in economics, but she is a brilliant, really-really smart, intelligent, extremely bright, intellectual power house.
Of course, any Republican or Conservative is a knuckle-dragging moron with no brains.
How stupid can someone be? She should be doing something else. It involves a pole.....
She has a BA in 'Journalism'.(Pretty much the same as a degree in sewage plant maintenance).
That makes her an expert on everything.
I may not have a degree in economics but I know to stop spending when I'm broke.
Question also reflects liberal mythology that knowledge can only be conferred by degree. But Mo still schooled her at her own game.
She is mean, snide and snarky -- which perfectly qualifies her for that network.
What would be out of place on that network?
Oh, maybe someone who was competent, personable, intelligent, reasonable, polite and even-handed...
Good thing she is so fine cause she just got pwnd....major
"She is an affirmative action chick."
Would have been a great comeback. " yeah. I have an economics degree. And by you having no clue I can only assume you got your job through affirmative action" is that true?"
Actually, economics can explain behavior pretty well in micro-economic cases (i.e. few buyers and sellers in a single market). What it cannot explain is macroeconomics, because economists falsely believe that the underlying princples of macroeconomics somehow differ from those of microeconomics. As if I could add 2 together 1 million times, and end up with a number different than 2 million.
The Austrian economists believe the principles are the same for both cases, and I've heard some of them predicted 2008 before it happened.
More importantly, would Laz hit it?
Like a jack hammer. The women I'd hit are usually a sub-set of the women Laz would hit, he being much manlier than I and thus requiring a large pool of women with whom to express his virility.
Long ago, an interviewer would actually read the bio of the interviewee. Idiot.
Clouseau: Does yer dewg bite?
Inn Keeper: No
Clouseau: Nice Doggy (bends down to pet a dachshund - it snarls and bites him)
I thought you said yer dewg did not bite!
Inn Keeper: Zat... iz not my dog!
Economics theory necessarily includes human behavior. That is problematic in itself. That many "economists" disagree on the basic theory for a given "problem" is prima facie evidence that most are charlatans, at best.
"What qualifications does Ms. Brewer have, other than being able to read a TelePrompTer?"
Her qualifications are bulging inside her sweater.
I once represented a sewage plant in a lawsuit. There's some pretty serious engineering and science there.
I applaud the folks that maintain the sewage plants...
Journalists? ... not so much. In this country, they are sewage.
Maybe Mika Brezinski?
I beg to differ.
Sewage plant maintenance requires ability.
>> "Shes a contessa." <<
Does that mean she can count?
No TV news is beyond seeking affirmative action employees. She is simply eye candy.
Who's the bigger fool - her or the idiots that go on the network.
>> "Pretty much the same as a degree in sewage plant maintenance" <<
That would be a mechanical engineer, most likely.
A sewage treatment plant is a technological masterpice these days, and managing one usually pays about $300,000 or more per year.
>> "She is simply eye candy." <<
More like "Eye Codliver Oil" in my book.
From he picture it is clear that her qualifications are not B and are certainly not A either.
I bet that she would never ask Al Gore about his formal education on climate change.
If those big yellow things were brains... She would be a genius!!!

LedgerSMB 1.3.32 has been released. This release adds overlooked functionality, and corrects a number of minor to moderate problems with previous releases. Those who are running 1.3.31 should upgrade sooner rather than later. Others should upgrade after reviewing the 1.3.31 inventory changes.
LedgerSMB 1.3.31 has been release and includes a rather deep fix to our onhand numbers. We recommend that anyone who is shipping or receiving inventory upgrade when you are able, but also direct questions too us if there are questions or concerns about the upgrade process.
LedgerSMB 1.3.30 has been released. This release includes a number of additional CSS hooks, some fixes to database-level interfaces for re-opening books, and a number of other minor changes. Unless you have specific need for any of the fixes, this is a fairly minor release and is not normally required as an upgrade. The complete changelog is below.
Best wishes,
Chris Travers
LedgerSMB 1.3.29 has been released and contains a significant number of fixes and if these fixes affect you, you may want to upgrade to this or a higher version. Please note that 1.3.31 has some significant bugfixes in it, and consequently we will be recommending that everyone move to this version or higher when it comes out.
LedgerSMB 1.3.28 has been released and includes two security fixes. It is a recommended upgrade for all LedgerSMB 1.3.x users. The major fixes in this area have to do with administrative password resets being ineffective, and HTTP credentials not being cleared. These fixes are available separately to any user who needs them.
The following is a security advisory for LedgerSMB 1.3.x. It includes information on vulnerable versions, and how to mitigate problems. While the security issues discovered here are minor in most cases, they can have significant impacts for some users in some environments.
LedgerSMB 1.3.27 has been released. This version includes a number of enhancements to the migration process, creating new user accounts for 1.2 users (passwords must still be set by an administrator), and a number of minor bug fixes that will improve the user experience. While this is not a drastic improvement on previous versions it is an incremental one.
Get the new version from http://ledgersmb.org/download
The best way to get (free) help is to join one of the LedgerSMB mailing lists:
LedgerSMB 1.3.26 has been released with minor usability enhancements for the database update routines and a number of minor bugfixes. While this release does not have a massive number of fixes of general applicability it does contain a number of fixes that people in specific environments may find helpful.
The major fixes involve the handling of the fs_cssdir configuration setting which was causing problems when trying to edit the stylesheet, and fixes for including parts images in pdf invoices. See the changelog below for a complete list of fixes and enhancements.
I am very pleased to announce that LedgerSMB 1.4 has entered the beta testing period. While we expect to be continuing to move reports over to the new framework in this period, the codebase and database should be fairly stable at this point. If all goes well, within a few months, 1.4.0 will be released as a production-ready platform.

To me nothing beats chillin' on a gorgeous summer night at the Grandstand with a cold beer and live music. Rock concerts are my favorite because I have a thing for really, really loud music. Well, as long as it's good music. I'm not sure anyone could top last year's Linkin' Park concert (they were sick), but Daughtry was totally cool and totally rocked out. Loved the freaky Joker shirt he was wearing too, I want one. I have nothing but good things to say about his music, afterall he is in fact my first 'Idol' love. However, David Cook has emerged as my true 'Idol' love because I'm concerned that Daughtry likes himself a little too much and I'm not into arrogant.
Unfortunately the most memorable part of the concert wasn't the music. It was the angry couple who were sitting in our seats and got extremely nasty when Katie asked them so nicely to move because Trish and Stan were on their way. I will spare you the details, but they made a scene and when they wouldn't stop insulting us (me, Katie and my cousin Steve), even though we were minding our own business, me and Steve had enough and started fighting back. Verbally of course, although I was concerned it was going to escalate and texted Trish to hurry up with her big, strong boyfriend, Stan.
I wanted to get them on video yelling at us, but Katie refused to give me my Flip camera. Oh well, I probably wouldn't have posted it anyway because I felt bad later on because they were so inappropriately angry at us that I figured they must be having a bad day - and when they left shortly into the concert that reinforced my theory. Although I was relieved that they were gone because they were sitting two rows behind us and I was scared that lady would try to jump me while I was rockin' out.
I'm really hoping the crowd at Gavin DeGraw and Goo Goo Dolls tonight is more chill because I can't handle that kind of confrontation again tonight. My throat hurts.

The s3switch utility is used to select the devices to be used, and the format of the TV signal. When invoked with no parameters, s3switch displays the devices currently attached, and which of those devices are currently active. Supplying one or more of the words crt, lcd, or tv makes those devices the active devices. The word both is a shortcut for the combination of crt and lcd.
To change the format of the TV signal, specify either ntscj, ntsc or pal. These words will be silently ignored on systems where a TV is not attached or not possible.
The case of the keywords is unimportant; LCD and lcd are equivalent.
S3switch always displays the current state of things just before it exits, unless the -q option is given, in which case, it operates quietly. Note that only the Savage4 and Savage2000 are able to detect the presence or absence of the various devices; the rest just assume everything is attached. S3switch must be run as root.
S3switch will not allow you to activate devices which are not connected, on those chips that are able to detect this.

News Releases
/ News - Funding Available for USDA Sage-Grouse Conservation Initiative
Loading Tree...
Anita Brown (530) 792-5644
Alan Forkey (530) 792-5653
DAVIS, Calif., February 19, 2013—USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is currently accepting applications in four eastern California counties for funding through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) for the Sage Grouse Initiative (SGI). Applications must be submitted by March 15, 2013.
"In California, this initiative is focused on areas of high sage-grouse populations in Inyo, Lassen, Modoc and Mono counties," says NRCS State Biologist Tom Moore. "The intention is to maintain large intact areas of habitat and maximize the biological returns on conservation investments."
Since 2010 NRCS has provided financial and technical assistance through SGI to farmers and ranchers in 11 western states who are proactively working to conserve the sage-grouse and help keep it from being listed under the Endangered Species Act.
Through this initiative, NRCS is making $2 million in EQIP funding available in fiscal year 2013 to help California farmers and ranchers implement habitat improvements on their lands. Producers will be eligible to receive payments for 75 percent of estimated costs for practices that will improve greater sage-grouse habitat, such as grazing management, removing encroached juniper trees, planting native species, removing or retrofitting fences to make them more visible and wildlife-friendly, and installing wildlife escape ramps in existing watering facilities.
Interested applicants should submit a complete application to the local NRCS office by close-of-business on March 15, 2013. Applications will continue to be accepted after these deadlines, but ranking and funding decisions will be deferred until the next funding cycle. More information can be found at www.ca.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/.
The Natural Resources Conservation Service provides leadership in a partnership effort to help people
conserve, maintain, and improve our natural resources and environment.

There is no sport quite like MMA. To be successful, a combatant must possess a unique combination of speed, power, agility and technique. Many MMA fighters have spent their entire lifetimes perfecting their trade and the results are often awesome and incredible.
Over the years, athletes from other sports have tried to cross over to MMA. Everyone remembers boxing superstar James Toney tapping out to the savvy veteran Randy Couture at UFC 118. It showcased two stars from fighting sports colliding and putting supremacy to the test.
Along with boxers, it has become well publicized when professionals from other sports try their hands at MMA. Some come in with martial arts backgrounds, while others believe they can win with sheer power and brute force. The results have, of course, been mixed.
The sport that boasts the biggest and baddest of all athletes is professional football. A hulking linebacker or offensive tackle can certainly present an intimidating picture. How have football players turned MMA wanna-bes fared in the octagon though?
Many have tried to cross over by fighting in small promotions against mid-level completion. Others have tried to step up quickly against top tier talent. The results are not always promising. Take for example Johnnie Morton, who was a wide receiver for the Lions, Chiefs and 49ers of the NFL.
After a successful football career, he thought his athletic prowess would translate into MMA conquest. As a result he suffered a brutal 38-second knockout at the hands of Bernard Ackah in 2007. Have other football players fared better?
Below is a list of six former professional gridironers who have stepped up to the challenge. Notably left off the list is Brock Lesnar, who became UFC Heavyweight Champion after a brief stint on the pre-season squad of the Minnesota Vikings.
Football wasn't Lesnar's primary calling, as he was a wrestling star prior to that endeavor. Also left out are Redskin and Bengal wide receiver Michael Westbrook, who boasts a 1-1 professional record with one no contest and long-time NFL alumni Alonzo Spellman who won a sole matchup in MMA.
The following list is the top six football players who have competed in MMA at high levels of competition with successful results.

The Certificate in Applied Community Psychology program is designed for individuals employed in a range of advocacy and/or human services fields who wish to improve their skills and increase their career options. It also provides excellent opportunities to recent university graduates in the social and behavioral sciences who are interested in entering community intervention work, deepening their understanding of community life as they develop practical skills for facilitating community and social change. Faculty members have extensive experience working in urban and culturally diverse communities. Classes are lively, informal, and small, offering students from varied life backgrounds opportunities to work closely on real-world community issues. Students are introduced to theories that are then applied to community-based course assignments and projects.
Program Structure
The 20-unit Certificate in Applied Community Psychology program can be completed in five quarters over 15 consecutive months. Students in the Applied Community Psychology certificate program conduct all of their coursework on the AULA campus, taking classes alongside master's in Psychology students.
Program Schedule
Students may enter the program during any quarter. Quarters begin in October, January, April, and July. To apply, click here.
Program Curriculum
Through class projects and field study opportunities, students acquire valuable skills and hands-on experience in program development and evaluation; prevention and promotion; community consultation and collaboration; and workshop and in-service development. Students round out their program of study with elective workshops, or may elect to participate in additional field study experiences.
Required Coursework:
Community Psychology: Theories and Methods
This course introduces students to the field of community psychology as preparation for work with communities on issues relevant to the diverse contemporary urban environments of Southern California. Emphasis is placed on the role of extra-individual processes (e.g., social settings, policies, laws) in understanding the social contexts which shape individual behavior. Students learn new paradigms (e.g., principles of ecology, prevention, power, and empowerment) for working with communities to promote a balance between personal, relational, and collective wellbeing. Class members engage in reading and critical discussions on the role of values in the work of family therapists in the broader community. Students learn theory and skills that promote engagement of the broader community in assessing problems in the community and addressing them through ameliorative and transformative interventions.
Program Development and Evaluation
The central goal of the course is to introduce students to basic principles of program development and evaluation as practiced in mental health and community service settings addressing social problems. Emphasis is on practical considerations of what can and cannot be accomplished in real-world community settings with respect to design and implementation of evaluations and the use of evaluation findings in program development. Topics include: performing a needs assessment, developing program goals and program objectives, identifying resources and funding sources, assigning leadership tasks, implementation, evaluation and revision.
Prevention and Promotion
This course introduces students to strategies, models, and methodologies used in the prevention of mental health and psychosocial problems and promotion of competence in individuals, families, and communities. The course emphasizes the importance of problem definition in the development of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies and examines how definition of problems guides the focus of prevention programming. Prevention strategies discussed include consultation, psychoeducational interventions, and empowerment. Attention is given to such issues as community violence, delinquency, adolescent pregnancy, substance abuse, and HIV/AIDS, with special attention given to needs of historically underserved and oppressed populations. Topics include: defining social problems targeted for prevention; origins, rationale, and need for prevention; fundamental concepts and models of prevention; the social context of prevention; prevention strategies and exemplary programs across the lifespan; program evaluation; and empowerment, community mobilization, self efficacy, and social change.
Psychoeducational Groups and In-Service Training Development
This course introduces students to fundamental elements of designing and implementing psychoeducational programs for the general public and allied professionals (educators, social service agency personnel, etc.). The course emphasizes a hands-on approach, as each student develops a psychoeducational program or in-service training on a topic of his or her choice. Topics include: the fundamentals of group training, audience assessment, how to develop topics, how to generate effective handouts and audio-visual aids, presentation skills, and evaluation and assessment.
Community Consultation and Collaboration
This course introduces students to the role of professional psychologists as consultants and collaborators with individuals, groups, organizations, and agencies providing services to a variety of communities and constituencies (social service agencies, nonprofit organizations, mental health service providers, schools, etc.). Topics include the role of consultants and their relationship to the consultee. The course will emphasize consultation skills with attention to all phases of the consultation process: entry, assessment, diagnosis, development, intervention, and termination. The course also focuses on community-based consultation efforts, with particular attention to issues of diversity, community and school settings.
Field Study in Applied Community Psychology
This course provides students with the opportunity to work directly with a community agency on a project involving program development, evaluation, consultation, collaboration, psychoeducational group and/or in-service training development.
Eligibility Requirements
The Certificate in Applied Community Psychology program was designed for individuals who have earned a bachelor's degree (or higher) and are interested in engaging in community work.

We think this brief summary of a publication from the Annals of Internal Medicine by Mark S. Fradin, MD will help you. You can find read the entire article at http://www.acponline.org/journals/annals/01jun98/mosquito.htm
[My comments appear in italics.]
Products that contain DEET remain the most effective insect repellent available. In combination with permethrin-treated clothing, protection approaches 100 percent. Some toxic reactions to DEET have occurred in rare situations (usually involving misuse). Do not use DEET on very small children, and always follow label directions. Repellents based on plant-derived compounds are less effective. Avon Skin-So-Soft provided some protection from mosquitoes, but DEET products provided greater protection. Bug zappers and ultrasonic devices do not help control mosquitoes. Bug zappers can help control indoor flies; ultrasonic devices are useless for pest control. Ultrasonic devices, outdoor bug "zappers," and bat houses are not effective against mosquitoes. Oral antihistamines can ease allergic symptoms to bites, but they do not prevent disease transmission.
A number of factors determine how effective a repellent will be. How frequent and uniform were the repellent applications? The user must apply the repellent to all exposed skin; mosquitoes will attack unprotected areas only a few centimeters from the repellent. Clothing can rub repellent from the skin. Sweat, rain, high temperatures, and wind can remove repellent from the skin. The type and number of mosquitoes can also reduce efficacy of repellents.
Although mosquitoes are largely regarded as a nuisance in the United States, the insects remain a worldwide scourge because of disease transmission. Mosquitoes transmit disease to more than 700,000,000 people annually; mosquito-transmitted diseases will cause the death of nearly 6 percent of all people alive today! According to the World Health Organization, malaria alone causes up to 3,000,000 deaths each year.
Life Cycle
Mosquitoes (a type of fly) are found on every continent except Antarctica. There are about 170 species in North America; the genera Anopheles, Culex, and Aedesare responsible for most bites in humans. There are approximately 170 species of mosquitoes in North America alone.
Mosquitoes must have standing water reproduce. Various species of mosquitoes have adapted to fresh water; salt water marshes; brackish water; or water found in containers, old tires, or tree holes. The female mosquito lays eggs on the water's surface or in areas subject to flooding. In some species, the unhatched eggs will remain viable for months without water. Once in the water, the eggs hatch in a few days. The larvae eat organic matter in the water until they pupate (about a week). The pupal stage usually lasts 2-3 days. The adult mosquitoes live 3-4 weeks.
Adult male mosquitoes eat flower nectar; females require a blood meal to produce eggs. The females will feed and lay eggs about every 3-4 days. Some species of mosquitoes bite mostly at night; others feed primarily at twilight or at night. Various species prefer to feed on humans, and other species prefer other animals.
The chance of mosquito transmission of HIV is estimated to be less than 1 in 10 million. The virus does not survive or replicate in mosquitoes. Additionally, the blood from the last person to be bitten is not pumped into the next person.
Mosquito Attraction
Mosquitoes locate their host with visual, thermal, and olfactory cues. Mosquitoes that feed during the day may be more attracted to movement or dark clothing. Carbon dioxide and lactic acid also attract mosquitoes. Many more chemicals are also released from the human body; these compounds may also be important for mosquitoes to find a host. Scents from some perfumes or other personal care products may also attract mosquitoes. Mosquitoes seem to use skin temperature and moisture for close-range cues; some mosquito species prefer a particular part of the body, such as the head or feet.
You may hear a friend say, "Mosquitoes just love me." There seems to be some evidence for this phenomenon. Mosquitoes are more likely to bite adults than children, but older adults may become less attractive. Men are preferred to women (the biting mosquitoes are females). Larger people attract more mosquitoes because they are a larger target or produce more attractive cues.
Choosing a Repellent
The most effective repellent, DEET, is available in many products in concentrations ranging from 5-100 percent. In general, higher concentrations offer longer protection, but the formulation is also important. A 35 percent DEET polymer formulation by the 3M Corporation was as effective as 75 percent DEET in repelling mosquitoes. Depending on the environmental conditions and the mosquito species tested, the polymer formulation gave 95 percent protection for 12 hours. In most situations, products with 10 percent to 35 percent DEET will provide adequate protection. Sunscreens may reduce DEET effectiveness.
The American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend product with more than 10 percent for children. You should not use DEET products on children under 3 years of age. Products above 50 percent should only be used when biting pressure is high and other factors (e.g., high temperature) may cause rapid loss of the repellent. In any case, wash the repellent from the skin when outdoor activities are completed. Applying DEET products to clothing instead of skin will reduce the risk of toxicity; if clothing treated with DEET is stored in a plastic bag, the repellent effect may last for weeks. DEET products can damage some plastics and some synthetic fibers.
DEET Toxicity
DEET is absorbed through the skin, but documented cases of toxicity are rare. From 9-56 percent of the applied dose may absorbed; the average dermal absorption of 100 percent DEET was reported to be 5.6 percent; for 15 percent DEET in ethanol, the average absorption was 8.4 percent. DEET was absorbed quickly within two hours of application. Absorbed DEET was largely eliminated from the body in 12 hours.
The most serious toxic effects of DEET have involved the brain. Thirteen of the 14 cases involved children under eight years old. Three children died. Many of these cases involved the misuse of DEET products. The most common symptom reported to professionals was related to spraying repellent in the eye or inhaling a DEET product.
The revised risk assessment for carbaryl is available; comments are due by June 2. The EPA is concerned about agricultural worker exposure to carbaryl. According to the EPA assessment, many of the occupational handler and post-application worker exposure scenarios are unacceptable, even if workers use maximum personal protective equipment and clothing. Also, the current 12-hour re-entry interval may not be sufficient for most crops. The carbaryl risk assessment and related documents explain these exposures of concern in detail. You can find the assessment at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/reregistration/carbaryl/
As of December 30, 2003, wood treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA) may not be used in residential settings. The EPA order affects virtually all residential uses of wood treated with CCA, including play structures, decks, picnic tables, landscaping timbers, residential fencing, patios, and walkways/boardwalks. Consumers may continue to buy and use the treated CCA wood for as long as it is available. For now, CCA may still be used to treat wood used in permanent wood foundations and fence posts. More information on CCA treated wood is available at: http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/chemicals/1file.htm (EPA Press Advisory 3-20-03)
There will be a Georgia Clean Day Collection on April 22 in Putnam County. They will accept almost any type of unwanted pesticide. Contact the Putnam County Extension office (706-485-4151) for details.
Quebec adopted a new pesticide regulation that bans synthetic pesticides in all daycare facilities and schools. The use of cosmetic pesticides is banned on all public land. The rule also increases buffer zones around open water, outlaws application of mixtures of pesticides and fertilizers, requires sale and use permits for pesticide applicators, requires golf courses to present pesticide use reduction plans, and provides a list of less-toxic and organic pest control products.
The section of this rule banning 23 pesticide active ingredients includes lindane, malathion, MCPA, permethrin, benomyl, captan and 2,4-D. The list of banned substances comprises pesticides that WHO or EPA have identified as known or possible carcinogens or endocrine disruptors. According to the minister of Quebec, "Through this regulation, Quebec becomes the first place in North America to ban the most dangerous pesticides for health and the environment. The action undertaken today by the Quebec government will reduce people's exposure to these products which are particularly noxious to children's health." Montreal is considering even stronger rules concerning pesticide use on public and private property.
Under this rule, homeowners may not use 2,4 D to control weeds around the home. It will be interesting to see if this part of the rule can be enforced. Additionally, the Executive Director of the Industry Task Force II on 2,4-D Research, funded by the four North American manufacturers of the weed killer 2,4-D (Dow AgroSciences, BASF, Nufarm Inc., and Agro-Gor S.A.) said the industry would sue under Chapter 11 of NAFTA if Québec adopts the ban.

If you have a good idea to reduce pesticide risks or improve IPM, here is some grant money for you. The EPA Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP) is calling for projects that address risk reduction goals. Their goals include pesticide pollution prevention, Integrated Pest Management (IPM), IPM in Schools, and children's health. Other projects will be considered as they complement these goals through public education, training, monitoring, demonstrations, and studies. The deadline is May 16.
The program is open to universities. However, if you have an idea, it is usually not difficult to find a collaborator. The program has nearly $500,000 to award. For more information, see this website http://www.epa.gov/oppbppd1/PESP/regional_grants/2003_call_for_proposals.htm
Non-profit and State organizations and Tribes in EPA Region 4 (AL, GA, FL, KY, MS, NC, SC, TN) are eligible for EPA Strategic Agricultural Initiative Grants (SAIG). The goal of this program is to reduce the risks from pesticides, especially to infants and children, used in the production of food and fiber with an emphasis on minor use crops (most fruits and vegetables). The in-field adoption by farmers of already identified potential low-risk integrated crop or pest management tools and strategies is a priority. Previous awards and information about the Region 4 SAI can be found at the following web site: http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/local/region4/ag/index.htm
Projects should include risk reduction from highly toxic pesticides as their strongest component, but may include promotion of other best management practices, which ultimately lead to less reliance on pesticides. A holistic approach to pest management is encouraged which considers the entire ecosystem, including predator and prey ratio and soil health. A significant goal is to rapidly spread known technology and information about ways to reduce dependence on the more highly toxic pesticides. Projects that partner with farmers and include farmer to farmer transfer of information are strongly encouraged. If the project submitted builds on an ongoing or previous SAI project, please include a detailed explanation as to how the additional funds will expand the scope of the current or past project.
This program has about $400,000 to spend. The deadline is May 30.
According to Agrow World Crop Protection News,
2002 agrochemical sales were essentially flat worldwide at around $28
billion. Accounting for inflation and currency shifts, Agrow estimates
agrochemical sales actually fell by 1.5 percent in 2002. In 2001 the market also
shrank by 4.1 percent, thus the new figures bring the overall decline to 12
percent in the last five years.
North America is the largest market; sales shrank by nearly 2 percent. Latin American sales fell by nearly 4 percent, and the Asian/Pacific market dropped nearly 2 percent. Agrochemical sales in western Europe increased more than 7 percent. Fungicide sales increased 2.7 percent globally, but herbicide and insecticides sales were flat. Herbicide sales account for 46.6 percent of the global market.
This table summarizes the big players and their performance in 2002. These six companies accounted for about 70 percent of the 2002 market.

A new kit to help reduce childhood poisonings is available for free. "Poison Prevention: Read the Label First! Community Action Kit" is available for communities to raise awareness of poison prevention and the importance of reading labels on household chemical cleaners and pesticides. According to the American College of Emergency Physicians, a child is accidentally poisoned every 30 seconds in the United States. More than half of these poisonings occur at home to children under age five. The American Association of Poison Control Centers reports that, in 2001 alone, an estimated 66,000 children less than six years of age were involved in common household pesticide-related poisonings or exposures. This handy kit, produced by the National Safety Council under an EPA grant, is designed for use by community organizers and other organizations engaged in public education. The kit includes fact sheets, sample press releases, activities for children and a variety of other materials.
The Poison Prevention: Read the Label First! Community Action Kit is available by contacting Donald Gooding at the National Safety Council at 202-974-2496 or by sending an e-mail to email@example.com Supplies are limited so get your order in now for these important new public safety materials.
On March 19, 2003, farm worker organizations and farm worker advocates criticized the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) for not strengthening the Worker Protection Standard (WPS). The groups, including the Comité de Apoyo a los Trabajadores Agrícolas, the Farmworker Association of Florida, the Farmworker Justice Fund, the Farmworker Health and Safety Institute, Organización en California de Líderas Campesinas, PANNA, United Farm Workers of America, AFL-CIO, and others, charged that US EPA has failed to protect farmworkers and their families from both acute poisonings and long term health problems caused by exposure to hazardous pesticides.
Farm worker organizations are calling for a series of recommendations to improve the WPS, including: (1) improved training for all workers working with or near pesticides; (2) accessible and timely information about all pesticide applications available to farmworkers and communities where pesticides are applied; (3) enforcement of the WPS by state authorities, including protecting workers' rights to file complaints and complaint investigation. (PANUPS, 3-31-03)
The EPA has issued guidance for data required to meet the North American Free Trade Agreement standard for pesticide residues on food. The guidance document does not change U.S. data requirements for obtaining import tolerances in this country. This common approach to the establishment of import tolerances is expected to promote trade between North America and the rest of the world and maintain North American high standards for food safety. The common set of data requirements presented in the guidance document typically can result in a reduced data set, as well as a more efficient and cost effective review process for obtaining import tolerances in North America.
The NAFTA guidance document explains the product chemistry, residue chemistry, and toxicology data required to establish import tolerances or Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) in each of the NAFTA countries. Petitioners must still submit separate import tolerance/MRL petitions to each of the three NAFTA countries, and must adhere to each country's specific formatting and other requirements. The NAFTA countries encourage the concurrent submission of petitions so that joint review projects can be initiated. Joint review of petitions will help harmonize the setting of import tolerances in the NAFTA countries, promoting free trade within North America.
The guidance document is not final; and you can comment until June 16, 2003.

President George W. Bush commended pest management professionals for their efforts to protect the public health and property of Americans during the April observance of National Pest Management Month. "This public service campaign reinforces to all Americans, that it is important to realize that the environment we have created for ourselves has also given pests the opportunity to create serious public health issues," said Cindy Mannes, director of public affairs for the NPMA. "We know that mosquitoes can transmit West Nile Virus and encephalitis, cockroach allergens can trigger asthma in children, ticks can spread Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and rodents may spread hantavirus. Even insect stings force a half million people to the emergency room every year."
"As pests become very active in the spring, this is a great time for us to get our message out to the public and let them know there are steps we all can take to control the pests that spread these diseases," Mannes said. (PCT Online, 4-14-03)
The whole concept of G.W. Bush being aware of National Pest Management Month was probably an easy target for jokes, but I will let you make up your own mind. In truth, most people do not realize the importance of this industry. A lot of folks want a return to the "good old days" before pesticides. In those days, termites destroyed homes, pests ate much of our food, and mosquito-borne diseases caused many deaths.
The EPA plans to revoke the exemptions for watermelon mosaic virus-2 coat protein, and zucchini yellow mosaic virus coat protein and specific portions of the viral genetic material when used as plant-incorporated protectants in squash. This action does not mean these methods cannot be used; the exemptions are covered elsewhere in the law.
The national IPM meeting provided some interesting opportunities and information. The national IPM Road Map was unveiled. It included some specific objectives and strategies.
Goal 1: By 2006, reduce the average cost of pest management in major cropping systems compared to 2000 baseline while maintaining efficacy and sustainability. (NASS survey)
Objective: Develop and promote pest management approaches designed to improve farm profitability and agricultural sustainability.
Define and publish the elements (tactics) of IPM for crops in major cropping systems of the United States.
Develop and implement rapid, accurate monitoring and prediction systems for pest infestations and their resulting damage.
Refine, verify, and implement action thresholds for key pests and pest complexes of major cropping systems.
Improve the efficiency of suppression tactics and demonstrate least cost options and pest management alternatives.
Goal 2: Reduce by half the levels of hazardous pesticides detected in surface drinking water supplies by 2008. (USGS drinking water surveys)
Objective: Promote the adoption of pest management systems for agricultural and non-agricultural environments that minimize non-target impacts.
Design and promote effective pesticide application technologies that permit precise targeting of pesticides, particularly in high-risk situations and during adverse treatment conditions.
Develop and demonstrate crop production practices that reduce surface water and sediment movement off fields and non-agricultural sites.
Develop and promote practices to replace pesticides that pose high risk to surface drinking water supplies.
Demonstrate appropriate buffer zones or other practices to protect non-target areas from pesticide drift and other encroachments.
Goal 3: Reduce pesticide residue levels in the major foods consumed by infants and children by the year 2006. (AMS market basket survey)
Objective: Implement pest management approaches designed to eliminate unacceptable pesticide residues in crop commodities used for food, especially those consumed by infants and children.
Develop alternatives to pesticides that have resulted in unacceptable residue levels in food crop commodities.
Determine pesticide application methods, timing, and placement that result in improved efficacy with reduced pesticide residues in raw agricultural commodities.
Develop methods that will minimize pesticide residues that are found in processed foods.
Goal 4: Evaluate and promote national protocols for pest management in recreational, roadside, right-of-way, and native habitat areas by 2007. (are protocols developed?)
Objective: Develop and implement pest management programs that maintain safe, functional recreational, roadside, right-of-wa,y and native habitat environments.
Develop pest management approaches for turf grass, other landscape plantings, and aquatic sites that require less intensive pesticide use while maintaining functional and aesthetic standards.
Document the most effective ways to manage the encroachment of invasive species and facilitate the return of endemic species to native habitats.
Goal 5: Have pilot community-run pest management programs in place and operating by 2010.
Objective: Design and implement community-based pest management programs for residential, school, and public area environments that emphasize prevention programs and low-risk suppression technologies.
Expand and publicize the "IPM in Schools" program now in existence so it can be implemented nationwide.
Develop and disseminate a Residential Pest Management program to encourage adoption of IPM by homeowners.
Organize and publicize community stakeholder groups to administer the local community pest management efforts.
Remember these two points. For the next few years, there will be opportunities for groups that want to work under the IPM umbrella. Keep your eyes open for grant money and other resources. Secondly, a lot of people (including me) and government agencies are determined to see IPM succeed. Get on board or get run over.

Fla. Students Crash After State Raises Bar On Test
The Florida Board of Education has voted to temporarily lower the passing grade for its state writing test after a dramatic drop in scores on this year's exam. The state had made the test more difficult and raised the passing grade in an attempt to upgrade standards. But education officials were stunned when preliminary results showed the passing rate for 4th graders this year had plummeted from 80 percent to less than 30 percent.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Chinese online media company Sohu.com (Nasdaq: SOHU ) came out with decent results in the fourth quarter. However, its low first-quarter forecast -- in the range of $219 million to $225 million, which is below analyst expectations of $238.2 million -- brought the stock down by more than 15%.
Although the Street may not be in Sohu's favor right now, this just may not be reason enough for you to write off the company yet.
Reasons to be positive
Sohu's net income declined by almost 40%, but this was due to a one-time impairment charge on its previous acquisitions. Without this one-time cost, net income in the fourth quarter rose by 24% to $54.3 million.
China has significant market potential with increasing number of Internet users, which has recently exceeded the 500-million mark. With Google yet to gain a strong foothold there, Sohu -- along with Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU ) which has a market share of 78.3% -- has plenty of room for growth. At the same time, growing adoption of the company's Sogou browser resulted in an amazing 248% increase in revenue from the segment on a comparable-year basis.
Exploiting opportunities
Sohu's efforts to grow its business have obviously paid off well. In the previous year, it acquired licenses for 400 movie titles from News Corp.'s 20th Century Fox. Sohu has also been profiting from its online gaming division, Changyou (Nasdaq: CYOU ) , due to the popularity of MMO games such as Tian Long Ba Bu and DDTank, the latter being one of the top-ranking Web-based games in China. Its gaming division recorded a 33% rise in revenue for the full year to $435 million.
The Foolish bottom line
While China's economy is slowing down, Sohu's still projected to grow by about 8.1% this year compared with 9.2% in 2011. I don't think 8.1% is that bad.
So, Sohu's revenues might take a hit in the near term, but the secular rise in online advertising powered by the growing number of people going online would ensure future growth for the company. Sohu should make it in the long run.
So, don't forget to stay up to speed with the latest on Sohu's performance by adding it to your watchlist. It's free and lets you stay on top of the latest news and analysis for your favorite companies.
