Plagiarism Alert
Plagiarism is unfortunately a common occurrence in the blogosphere. To have someone lift the fruits of your unpaid labor for their own gain, the content you work so hard to provide to your readers free of charge, is simply odious. So angered am I that I am led to reconsider my efforts here.
I left a comment asking that my material be removed from their website. Fortunately, it appears as if the owner(s) of the site have complied. If material from your website is appearing there, you may wish to do the same.

The same thing happened to me (more than once) with a site that supposedly has something to do with pharmacies. Entire posts, no acknowledgement. Unfortunately, that site disabled comments and has no email contact, so I couldn't tell them to take the posts down.
I agree that such sites are totally heinous. I love your copyright line at the end of the post (though it appears to be gone, now?)--am thinking I'll do the same from now on!
And I tried to find easyfastfood and it seems the site is no longer working--I got an error message from Internet Explorer.
- August 30, 2008 at 8:04 PM

Ricki, I too noticed the site doesn't appear to be working anymore. Perhaps they realized what they were doing was stealing content, or maybe their host shut them down.
My copyright note at the end of the feeds should still be appearing - I think?

I had the same problem with that site and I left them a comment too. great that it is down now.

It's a horrid fact of life--there are some who believe that because we make our work available publicly, it's available for them to do with whatever they want.
A *legitimate* company stole some of my posts and my food images for their marketing campaign--had to send them a very firm note. They took my content down, but went on to steal from other bloggers. The company no longer exists.
I also contributed to shutting down a site which scraped my content. They took the obituary I wrote for Michael, and used keywords to drive people to them and made money off the ads. I contacted the ad aggregator who, I assume pulled the ad contract. Without a revenue stream coming in, there's no point of keeping the site up.
I just checked the site you mentioned and I can't get it to load...hopefully someone has gotten to the ISP and pulled the site.

Such shameless behavior! Hijacking your touching obituary to your loved one for their own illegitimate gain. It angers me.
Voluntary power in numbers is the answer.

Hi Lisa, that is dreadful! I have been lucky enough not to be blighted by this yet, athough that could just mean that I haven't stumbled across it yet. I had a look and I am afraid to say that site is still up and running, but their ads seem to be defunct.
Please what every you do, don't let this spoil everything for you. A lot of people would be very uspet if you didn't post all your gorgeous recipes.

I love coming here and reading all your posts, so much so that I am still a vegetarian a year later, thanks to all your lovely receipes.
I would be lost if you stopped posting and it would be a shame for so many of us that read and make your lovely food.
I would be mad at these people too, make no mistake!!!! but some people just don't have the creative ability so they just steal others ideas. There isn't much fun in that and taking credit for other peoples hard work shows quite a weak character, maybe they are more to be pitied.
Thanks again for your lovely recipes that you share and don't let anyone spoil it for you as I can tell you put so much love and hard work into every recipe you ever post up here :-)
kind regards

Holler, you are a sweetie. Thanks for your encouragement.
Niki, you are probably one of my most faithful readers. Thank you. I was really mad yesterday when I wrote this post. I won't stop posting recipes yet! Take care.

- Ivy said...
Lisa, I am so sorry you had to go through this. I've read other bloggers had the same problems. It seems that they steel the content to make money out of the ads. At least they complied with your request.
I don't believe it. I just checked the url you gave and they have a recipe The Beijing Beef, from another friend, which I have to warn right now. Lisa, if he needs help can I tell him to contact you?
- August 31, 2008 at 1:57 PM
- Lisa said...
Of course your friend may contact me, though I would advise him to do just as I did, which is to leave a comment asking the webmaster to remove his content.

Thanks Lisa.

Hi Lisa, I am over at Cookography.com and they are scrapping my content too. I tried sending an email to their ISP and the service they are using to protect their WHOIS information. Hopefully something will happen.

Same Universe, Different Lenses: Science, Ethics, and Religion in Dialogue
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
When it came time to go to graduate school, one of Owen Gingerich's science professors told him "If you feel a calling to go to astronomy, you should give it a try, because we shouldn't let atheists take over any particular field."
This article provides an overview of genomics evidence for common ancestry and hominid population sizes, and briefly discusses the implications of these lines of evidence for scientific concordist approaches to the Genesis narratives.
Geologists Davidson and Wolgemuth address the widely promulgated notion that the Flood can account for the earth's complex geology, and that all genuine Christians should accept this viewpoint.
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.
Many evangelicals believe that Young Earth Creationism is the only authentic, biblical way for Christians to understand origins, and that until the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, it was the only view held by Christians. However, in this excerpt from Saving Darwin, Karl Giberson explains that Young Earth Creationism's origins are surprisingly recent.

The UVa softball team used 12 hits to defeat in-state rival Virginia Tech, 7-3, in its regular season finale Monday night. With the win, the Cavaliers improve to 21-27 overall and 4-17 in the ACC.
Senior pitcher Melanie Mitchell pitched the complete game to earn the win and improve to 16-16 on the season. Mitchell struck out 11, and gave up three runs in seven innings.
The Cavaliers took the lead in the bottom of the first when sophomore Megan Harris hit a two-run single with the bases loaded that scored senior Taylor Williams and sophomore Heidi Velk.
Virginia Tech cut the lead to one on a solo home run by Kylie McGoldrick in the second and took a 3-2 advantage on a two-run long ball by Bailey Liddle. Bkaye Smith's double to lead off the fifth was the Hokies' last hit, as Mitchell retired the last nine VT batters.
UVa tied the game in the fifth on a junior Karli Johnson single that scored Velk. Later in the inning with runners on second and third, senior Lauren Didlake smashed a single down the left field line that allowed junior Marcy Bowdren and freshman Taylor Sarcone to score and give Virginia a 5-3 advantage.
The Cavaliers added two insurance runs in the sixth when Williams scored on a VT error and Bowdren doubled to score Velk.
Next up, the Cavaliers will travel to Tallahassee, Fla., for the ACC Tournament from May 9-11.

This is a good product but lasts for only 5 days. That's okay if you use it to help with a cold but not for daily immune support. I did not feel an advantage by taking this product over other products with Andrographis.

I bought this for the first time about a month ago to have on hand for colds or flu that may crop up while on our family vacation. Nobody ended up getting sick, but at the end of our trip my husband started getting the tingling feeling that means he's getting a cold sore. I gave him these to try, hoping for some antiviral protection. His cold sore was the smallest it has ever been in his life, and it only lasted 2-3 days before it was completely gone. This is amazing for my husband because he is plagued by the cold sore virus and his blisters last at least 7-10 days. Next time he gets "tingly" we'll try these again.
Excellent immune booster

Much stronger than the Kan Jang version previously available in the U.S.- more effective even if you just take 1 or 2 capsules.

A Dance with Monkeys
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
leave your comments here: http://www.marathonguide.com/races/racedetails.cfm?MIDD=2539091122
MTA: Though mine is not showing up. Perhaps it's being held in moderation for cursing.
I decided that if I'm going to call myself a runner, I should probably run.
"He conquers who endures" - Persius "Every workout should have a purpose. Every purpose should link back to achieving a training objective." - Spaniel
In it for the long run..
"It's not who wins the workout..."
Been there, done that, did not get the "small" t-shirt.
You could have.
I don't think you need boob pockets?
How do you keep your feet on the ground, when you know you were born to fly?
Just a girl who runs.
I also did one (last week) which is not showing up. Strange.
This is what you wrote:
"This was my first Monkey and the hardest course I have ever run. We were warned! I train some on this course, and it is the most awesome park in the country, in my opinion. The hills are difficult, but the support along the course is outstanding and the feeling of accomplishment at the finish line makes it all worth it. The race organization is beyond compare, and everyone is welcomed into the close-knit community that is known as 'Idiots'. You don't have to be fast to run this race, but you DO have to be serious about pushing yourself to new places and wanting to have a great time at a beautiful location. This doesn't seem to be a one-time thing for many of the finishers, either. It draws you back. I guess that's part of being an 'Idiot'. Kudos to the race director and all involved in making this event possible."
It is showing up as "Abandoned". Perhaps it did not save right; try again?
OK- I did it again and it was definitely submitted. We'll see if it posts.
Still not there. Can you check on it, Trent? Can I not say "Idiots"?
OK- I did it again and it was definitely submitted. We'll see if it posts. Still not there. Can you check on it, Trent? Can I not say "Idiots"?
I don't think my entry from last year ever showed up. I just assumed it wasn't of a high enough quality. There are some pretty good reviews out there. I'm not implying yours is a problem of quality. Nay. I'm just reminiscing of my failures. Usually I do that over a few drinks but I'm at work now - which is like being drunk.
Bdub and Hstreet it was nice to meet you both in real life.
"If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run."
Bdub and Hstreet it was nice to meet you both in real life.
You met bdub?!? I got screwed again. Were it not for pictures, I'd guess he doesn't really exist.
(and it was nice to meet you, Doug)

I have town water supply. Home was built in '52. I noticed something a few weeks ago where my water started to taste funny. Bitter and cottonmouth. I have noticed some browning every so often when I do something to the line. I once cut the pressure at the main to fit a sink. Let the house supply drain and when I filled it back up the water has some brown spots. (Continues do flush). I then just replaced my 3/4 in original copper in the basement with new 3/4 in to route around the perimeter of my unfinished basement. This was done for cosmetic reasons. When I cut the old pipe I ran my finger in it and it was like a brown slur.
Not sure if all the original pipes have this. Is this normal for pipes of this many years? I plan to have my water tested anyway. Just interested in hearing some experiences.

Wizard of the Upper Amazon - Bruce F Lamb
Wizard of the Upper Amazon is an extraordinary document of the life among a tribe of South American Indians at the beginning of the 20th century. For many readers, the most compelling sections of the book will be the descriptions of the use of Banisteriopsis caapi, the ayahuasca of the Amazon forests. This powerful hallucinogen has long been credited with the ability to transport human beings to realms of experience where telepathy and clairvoyance are commonplace. Manual C?rdova, the narrator of these adventures is a well-known as a healer in Peru.Learn More$17.95
The Secret of the Incas: Myth, Astronomy, and the War Against Time -William SullivanAt its peak, the Inca empire was the largest on Earth. Yet in the year 1532, it was conquered by fewer than 200 Spanish adventurers. How could this happen? Approaching the answer clue by clue, scholar William Sullivan decodes the myths of the Incas to reveal an astoundingly precise record of astronomical events. The Incas accepted their fate as written in the stars. Illus. Learn More$23.00

The Hidden Connections: A Science for Sustainable Living - Fritjof CapraFritjof Capra, bestselling author of The Tao of Physics and The Web of Life, here explores another frontier in the human significance of scientific ideas--applying complexity theory to large-scale social interaction.
In the 1980s, complexity theory emerged as a powerful alternative to classic, linear thought. A forerunner of that revolution, Fritjof Capra now continues to expand the scope of that theory by establishing a framework in which we can understand and solve some of the most important issues of our time. Capra posits that in order to sustain life, the principles underlying our social institutions must be consistent with the broader organization of nature. Discussing pertinent contemporary issues ranging from the controversial practices of the World Trade Organization (WTO) to the Human Genome Project, he concludes with an authoritative, often provocative plan for designing ecologically sustainable communities and technologies as alternatives to the current economic globalization.

The Art and Archaeology of the Moche: An Ancient Andean Society - Steve Bourget
Renowned for their monumental architecture and rich visual culture, the Moche inhabited the north coast of Peru during the Early Intermediate Period (AD 100-800). Archaeological discoveries over the past century and the dissemination of Moche artifacts to museums around the world have given rise to a widespread and continually increasing fascination with this complex culture, which expressed its beliefs about the human and supernatural worlds through finely crafted ceramic and metal objects of striking realism and visual sophistication.Learn More$65.00

New Perspectives on Moche Political Organization - Jeffrey QuilterThis volume brings together essays on the nature of political organization of the Moche, a complex pre-Inca society that existed on the north coast of Peru from c. 100 to 800 CE. Since the discovery of the royal tombs of Sip?n in 1987, the Moche have become one of the best-known pre-Hispanic cultures of the Americas and the focus of a number of archaeological projects. But the nature of Moche political organization is still debated. Some scholars view the Moche as a monolithic state, others see a clear distinction between a northern and southern Moche polity, and yet others argue that the most accurate model is one in which each valley contained an independent polity. In a presentation of new data and new perspectives, the authors debate these competing theories. Based on a set of papers presented by sixteen international scholars at the Dumbarton Oaks Pre-Columbian Studies symposium held in Lima, Peru, in 2004, this volume marks an important point in the development of Moche archaeology and will be a landmark work in Pre-Columbian studies.

Torah Writing
Weiner Rel School
Full Schedule
After the tragic events of this last week, coming together as a community can provide a sense of wholeness. There are two community options for you this Friday night, April 18th:
Friday night worship at Congregation Beth Torah will feature a dialog about the impact of violence in greater Kansas City between Rabbi Levin and the Honorable Alvin Brooks, founder of the Ad Hoc Group Against Crime and former Mayor Pro Tem of Kansas City. Worship begins at 6:30 p.m.; there is always a light nosh. All are welcome.
Representatives of area Jewish youth groups, BBYO, NCSY, USY, and NFTY, have arranged a Candle Light Vigil Walk for Friday night. A Shabbat service will be helped at the Jewish COmmunity Center beginning at 6:00 p.m. to remember those most affected by this tragedy. At 7:00 p.m., participants will walk from the JCC to Village Shalom with candles and signs to honor the families and the lives of the victims.
We encourage you to participate in these events.
As Jews prepare for Passover, our community has been hauled into the violence that plagues our nation. At this moment we don't know for certain if today's murders were aimed exclusively at Jews, but it certainly feels that way. But in a larger sense, we have been victimized by the random, hate-filled violence that steals lives and futures in this country daily.
Perhaps it is no coincidence that this hateful attack occurs at Passover. It certainly threatens our sense of security and multiples the fear that we are persecuted. I wish, however, that you could receive the loving calls I am receiving from friends and clergy all over the wider metropolitan area and indeed around the world. Our neighbors: Jews, Christians and Muslims are outraged that senseless murder would be aimed at our community. We live among friends, and that is very different from Pharaoh's Egypt, Nazi Germany, or any other place in which Jews have suffered persecution. We are being singled out, but in a larger sense we are not, because this is no longer a unique act of terror. Rather, the scourge of wanton violence threatens us all; and those who hate as a way of life must be rooted out, isolated and punished.
Our prayers are with the victims and their families. They must be our main concern; as well as those who feel threatened by random violence. Today demonstrates that any of us could be singled out, and therefore we are a single people that should be united in our conviction that we will not tolerate the hatred that murders innocent people and tears at the body of our nation.

Jones, who will be attending the University of Nevada, Reno next school year, is one of three recipients of a $500 Tom Fischer Memorial Scholarship of The First Tee of Northern Nevada.
But Jones' golf life is about to get even more exciting.
Jones is one of 78 junior golfers selected to play in the Nature Valley First Tee Open at Pebble Beach. Over 250 golfers applied for a chance to compete in the official Champions Tour event, July 7-10.
Jones has never played at Pebble Beach and couldn't think of what would be the most prestigious course on which she has played.
Obviously, playing on one of the world's most famous courses is a dream come true.
"I'm really excited for it. I've never had an opportunity like that to play somewhere as big as Pebble Beach," Jones said. "I'm having Chris Dewar caddie for me because she's one of the people who made it possible for me to go. So she's going to be my caddie, which is awesome."
In order to be selected, Jones had to fill out an application, answer short questions and essays, be judged on her handicap and undergo an extensive interview process.
Going into this tournament, Jones said she just wants to do her best because she knows in golf, things don't always go your way on a given day. She's looking forward to meeting different First Tee people from around the country and she has also heard the Champions Tour golfers enjoy playing with kids, so she expects a good time.
The good news doesn't stop there for Jones.
She was also selected to be one of the 24 elite junior golfers to attend The First Tee PLAYers Advanced Academy July 20-27 in Richmond, VA.
"I'm really excited for that, too, because I think that will help me more than anything for college golf," Jones said. "That one is specifically for collegiate players. I think of it as a golf boot camp that I'm going to go to for a week with about 20 other people."
Jones will be playing golf for the Wolf Pack next year, something she never really expected when she started playing golf the summer before her freshman year in high school.
"It was always kind of a hazy goal. It was the big goal at the top of the ladder that I was always shooting for," Jones said. "To get there and actually achieve that, it's really exciting for me to go into that as a local girl."
Jones, who has only played golf for five seasons, got to where she is today mostly because of The First Tee of Northern Nevada.
"I just want to thank The First Tee. They've given me every opportunity to go around the country," Jones said. "They've taught me not only golf skills, but life skills as well. Liza Schumacher-Maupin and Chris Dewar, those two have done everything they can for me. I'm so grateful for them."
Jones isn't the only Cougar benefiting from The First Tee of Northern Nevada. Stephanie King, who will be a senior next year, was selected to join 95 golfers in Phoenix, Ariz. the first week in August for The First Tee Life Skills & Leadership Academy.

"We were able to have the meal options removed and we added a "number of seats saved in your honor" line. The designer did a great job at balancing the text and gave us exactly what we were looking for."
"I ordered these in the pearl shimmer paper with rounded corners and navy font to coordinate with my invitations. Customer service helped me design it to include areas to specify the number of guests invited as well the menu options. Completely satisfied with this reception card!"
"I loved how they took what I wanted into account when I had certain specifications for what I wanted. My fiance and I are having a buffet dinner at the reception and so we were not giving our guests an option on the food choices, so we were able to completely eliminate the bottom portion that has the food options. When they do this, they are able to center the card so that the whole card is being used, instead of just having a top half of the card with a lot of space underneath. It looks so great and my fiance and I have been so excited to get these back in the mail!"
"We are having a Chicago Bears (navy blue and orange) theme wedding and this was perfect! It had the colors of our favorite team with feminine details that I wanted!"
"I absolutely loved the Everlasting Romance!! It is the perfect mix of rustic and romantic! The customer service was awesome. I don't have a preselected menu for guests to choose from so they formatted the card to my needs!"

U.S. Wrestlers Blindsided by Olympic Ouster
By LUKE MEREDITH, Associated Press
Olympic wrestling star Cael Sanderson woke up Tuesday morning to news that seemed too shocking to process: wrestling would no longer be an Olympic sport.
Sanderson's disbelief quickly turned to resolve. He and his high-profile counterparts in the U.S. have vowed to fight to keep wrestling a part of the Olympics.
[PHOTOS: Baseball Spring Training 2013]
"I don't think I've really accepted it yet," said Sanderson, who is also the coach of the two-time NCAA national champion Penn State. "I'll absolutely do everything in my power to make sure that the decision doesn't go through and it isn't finalized in the fall. This is a big deal. You're talking about your kids having that dream of winning a gold medal. It inspires you to be better, to work hard, to set goals."
International Olympic Committee leaders dropped wrestling from the Summer Games on Tuesday. The move is set to take effect for the 2020 Olympics and eliminates a sport that has been a staple of both the ancient and modern games. Though wrestling's chances of making it back onto the Olympic program by 2020 are considered slim, the sport has two chances left to stop the drop.
Wrestling was voted out from a final group that also included modern pentathlon, taekwondo and field hockey, officials familiar with the vote told The Associated Press. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the voting details were not made public.
[WATCH: Google Hangout: U.S. News Talks With Apolo Ohno]
But the IOC executive board will meet in May in St. Petersburg, Russia, to decide which sport or sports to propose for 2020 inclusion. The final vote will be made at the IOC session, or general assembly, in September in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Wrestling will now join a combined bid from baseball and softball, karate, squash, roller sports, sport climbing, wakeboarding and wushu — all of which are vying for a single opening in 2020.
According to former Olympic champion and current Iowa coach Tom Brands, the international wrestling community needs to band together and fight for the sport's Olympic future.
"You have to get people behind you, you have to do it smart," he said. "You have to do it educated, you have to do it professionally, and you have to do it with some muscle, as well."
[READ: Newman: The U.S. Olympic Medal Count Isn't as Impressive as it Looks]
The decision by the IOC to phase out wrestling will leave the U.S. without one of its most successful Olympic sports. The only sports in which the Americans have won more medals than wrestling is swimming and track and field — and those two have far more medal opportunities.
Americans have won a record 113 freestyle Olympic medals, by far the most of any nation. Though the U.S. had slipped in recent Olympic cycles, it bounced back with a pair of London Games gold medalists in Jordan Burroughs — possibly the best wrestler in the world — and Jake Varner.
Wrestling is also one of the most popular youth sports in the U.S. The National Federation of State High School Associations reports that the sport was sixth among prep boys with nearly 275,000 competing in 2010-11.
"It just made me sick to think that the opportunity for 14, 15, 16-year-old kids who have thoughts about being an Olympic champion is erased," Oklahoma State coach and two-time Olympic gold medalist John Smith said. "I was on the phone a lot (Tuesday) with not just people in this country, but all over the world. We're all ready to stand together."
Reaction to the move was swift on social media. A Facebook page titled 'Keep Wrestling in the Olympics" was started Tuesday morning and had nearly 34,000 likes by the end of the day. A number of fellow Olympians also displayed their displeasure over the decision on Twitter by using the hashtag (hash)SaveOlympicWrestling.
"I think it says that they made a mistake, and there's no doubt about that," Brands said about the outcry to keep Olympic wrestling. "You don't want to pick a fight with a wrestler."
The process to eliminate wrestling has left many in the U.S. shaking their heads.

Sociology M.A. Program
The Department of Sociology offers two plans (Plan I and Plan II) for the M.A. Degree
Requirements for the M.A. Degree (Plan I)
Plan I students pursuing the M.A. degree in Sociology must have been admitted into the Medical Sociology Ph.D. program. To be admitted in good standing, candidates must meet all Graduate School admission requirements.
Plan I applicants lacking 18 semester hours in social science courses will be evaluated individually for academic deficiencies. Supplemental coursework may be recommended by the graduate faculty.
The program provides a Plan I (thesis) option. The M.A. degree is conferred upon the fulfillment of the requirements outlined below.
All of the following core courses are required for all students:
|Introduction to Sociological Research Methods
|Regression Analysis
|SOC 705 or SOC 711
|Quantitative Methods/Qualitative Methods
|Classical Theory
|Contemporary Theory
|SOC 702 (3 continuous semesters)
|Proseminar on the Profession
|2 or more substantive courses (these may be in areas outside of Sociology, subject to approval by the Sociology graduate program director)
Additional requirements for the Plan I M.A. degree include the following:
- 6 semester hours of thesis research (SOC 699);
- an acceptable research-based thesis; and
- a final oral examination based on the thesis.
Requirements for the M.A. Degree (Plan II)
Plan II is an Applied M.A. option which provides strong disciplinary training, along with internships and research experience, to prepare students for careers in business, non-profits, government agencies and the continued professional development of teaching careers. To be admitted in good standing, candidates must meet all Graduate School admission requirements.
The Plan II option is a non-thesis plan. A six-hour faculty-directed applied/community capstone project, undertaken at the conclusion of the program, provides an opportunity to synthesize all previous course material and meets the final requirement for the applied plan II MA degree in Sociology.
Students deciding to move into the Medical Sociology Ph.D Program will need to meet the core requirements from Plan I.
All of the following core courses are required for all students (18 hour):
|Introduction to Applied Sociological Research Methods (3)
|Applied Sociological Theory (3)
|Applied Sociology (3)
|Applied Social Psychology (3)
|Capstone Project (6)
Four additional classes are required for all students to fully matriculate (12 hours):
|Qualitative Methods (3)
|Program Evaluation (3)
|Teaching Sociology (3)
|Consumer Culture (3)
|Practicum in Innovation, Creativity and Applied Sociology (3)
|Sociological Practice (3)
|Sociology of Death and Dying (3)
|Health Care Delivery Systems (3)
|Health Disparities (3)
|Patient Care Relationships and Ethics (3)
Medical Sociology Ph.D. Program
This program is designed to provide students with the coursework and research experiences to become leading researchers and practitioners in medical sociology. Doctoral training in medical sociology exposes students to the central issues of the field through a variety of methodological techniques encompassing both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Graduate students study the social and cultural bases of health beliefs and behaviors, organizational structures of health care delivery, and patient-practitioner relationships, to name just a few examples. Students acquire expertise in theory formulation and data analysis.
There are abundant opportunities for graduate students to work with faculty on research projects in medical settings across the campus.
Admission to the Ph.D. program in medical sociology generally requires a minimum overall score of 1150 on the GRE (verbal and quantitative); minimum GPA of 3.0 (A = 4.0), or a 3.2 GPA for the last 60 semester hours in a B.A. or B.S. program; and minimum GPA of 3.5 in all previous graduate coursework. Students should have completed at least 18 hours in social science courses, including social theory, statistics, and research methods. Students entering the program with a master's degree can receive up to 12 hours of transfer credit that were not used for any other degree program (see graduate school guidelines). They also have waived 6 credits of SOC 699 (thesis research credits). Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the Medical Sociology Ph.D. program, students with diverse backgrounds in social science and health-related fields are encouraged to apply. Students lacking adequate backgrounds in theory, research methods, or statistics may be required to make up deficits after enrollment.
The Graduate Director and/or the student's faculty mentor will provide continuous advisement on academic progress during the student's graduate study, including assistance with course selection and recommendations for research experiences that are consistent with the student's developing interests and abilities. In addition, each year the student will be formally evaluated by the Graduate Committee and will be provided with performance feedback.
Research supervision is provided by faculty whom students select to chair the master's thesis and doctoral dissertation committees. Typically, the student will select persons with whom a close, supportive relationship develops.
The placement of Ph.D. students in research sites within the Department and/or in areas across campus is an important part of the Medical Sociology Program. Such placements usually involve assisting faculty on research grants. Such experiences provide students with invaluable real-life exposure to medical sociology "in action." As such, they are important accompaniments to the coursework of the Ph.D. program. Teaching and research positions are offered to students based on department needs, funding available and student merit.
The components of the Ph.D. program are as follows:
1. Required Coursework
Medical Sociology Core (9 hr)

Proseminar, SOC 702 - 1 hr Summer Teaching
*students may take up to 3 790-793 classes for credit as electives.
*students may take 2 in-department online courses towards their degree
2. Graduate Proseminar Functions
The graduate proseminar series (SOC 702) is required of all entering doctoral graduate students for their initial three terms in the graduate program. These classes familiarize new students with departmental policies and procedures, as well as various facets of the profession of sociology. This series should not only help students become situated within the graduate program, but also give them an opportunity to become better acquainted with the faculty and graduate student body. Students should also gain experience with basic professional skills such as identifying appropriate journals, creating a curriculum vitae, identifying one's own research interests, developing basic classroom skills, and addressing ethical issues associated with the profession of sociology.
3. The Master's Thesis
Students pursuing the doctoral degree must follow Plan I (Thesis Plan) of the existing master's degree program by producing a research-based thesis, but two types of documents will be acceptable. The first is a traditional thesis organized in the form of an extensive book monograph. This option is especially appropriate for qualitatively based research.
The second acceptable type of document is a manuscript in the standard form of a journal article with appended materials. Specifically, this journal article thesis will consist of: 1) a forward which places the research in context, specifying the journal to which the article is to be submitted, delineating the rationale for co-authorship (if appropriate), and making acknowledgments; 2) a journal article manuscript with a text no longer than the page limitations of a journal selected by the committee, plus footnotes, references, tables, and figures; 3) an appendix with an annotated bibliography of relevant literature; 4) an appendix that details, in full, the methodological procedures; 5) an appendix of measurement instrumentation (e.g., survey instruments, in-depth interview schedules, observational logs, etc.); 6) an appendix of additional tables and/or samples of observational notes, and 7) an appendix of other research documentation such as survey cover letters, human subject review approval forms, and letters of support and approval from facilities at which the research was conducted.
The master's thesis process involves; 1) formation of the thesis committee; 2) oral defense of a written thesis research proposal; 3) oral defense of the completed thesis; 4) submission of the completed manuscript to the Graduate School, and 5) submission of the journal article for publication. The thesis committee consists of a minimum of three full-time faculty members, including one from outside the Department of Sociology. This committee will be responsible for guiding the research process, evaluating the final draft of the thesis, presiding over the oral defenses of the thesis proposal and the completed manuscript, and approving the journal article for submission for publication. In addition to meeting general M.A. degree requirements, before being admitted to candidacy for the M.A. degree, a student in the Ph.D. program in Medical Sociology must have completed the master's level core courses in theory (SOC 707 and 720) and two core methods courses (SOC 701 and SOC 703, or SOC 705 and SOC 711), completed two of the five courses in the medical sociology core, and made a successful oral defense of the thesis proposal.
For those students entering with a master's degree, the student's doctoral advisory committee will review the student's transcript, evaluate course transfers (if any), and devise a course plan. This committee also will handle the student's admission to candidacy and the requirement of submitting a journal article for review. The student with the master's degree will not be required to make oral defenses of his/her thesis work from another institution.
4. Comprehensive Exams
All doctoral students who enter the program in Fall 2010 or later must take a comprehensive examination no later than the end of the third summer after being admitted to the Ph.D. program.
The comprehensive examination should be taken in a specialty area chosen by the student. The specialty area must be a combination of health and one substantive area reflecting the specialties of the faculty (e.g., aging and health, health behaviors, community health, health and demography, health and family, health inequality, health policy, etc.). The advisory committee will consist of three faculty members selected by the Graduate Committee. Prior to taking the examination, the student should meet with the advisory committee to develop a reading list based on the specialty area.
The comprehensive examination will include five questions decided by the advisory committee reflecting major theoretical, methodological, and substantive issues in the student's chosen specialty area. The student will answer four of the five questions as a take-home exam, which will be distributed at 4:00 p.m. Friday and will be due the following Monday at 9:00 a.m. The members of the advisory committee will grade the examination on a pass/fail basis. Students who fail the examination but wish to continue in the program must take a make-up examination in the following Fall Semester. Students who fail the make-up examination will be terminated from the Ph.D. program.
5. The Doctoral Dissertation
The dissertation process is as follows: 1) formation of the dissertation committee; 2) oral defense of a written dissertation research proposal; 3) oral defense of the completed dissertation, and 4) submission of the completed manuscript to the Graduate School. In consultation with faculty, and near the completion of all substantive coursework, a student forms a dissertation committee consisting of at least five members, with two from outside the Department of Sociology. This committee will be responsible for guiding the research process, evaluating the final draft of the dissertation, and presiding over the oral defenses of the dissertation proposal and the completed manuscript. A student is admitted to candidacy after successful oral defense of the dissertation proposal and no earlier than the term in which the required substantive coursework is completed.
Financial Aid
All students admitted to the Ph.D. program will be considered for financial aid. Sources include graduate fellowships and assistantships.

The U.S. Postal Service will announce the end of Saturday mail delivery this morning, according to Fox News.
"What's being reported is one of those things that we are looking at as another possible cost-cutting measure," said Michael Miles, spokesperson for the Atlanta District of the USPS. "So for now it's part of a study that we are looking at over the next five years to reduce our costs."
The change only applies to first-class mail deliveries. Packages, mail-ordered prescriptions, priority and express mail will still be delivered on Saturdays.
Saturday mail delivery will end in August. The move, which does not affect package delivery, is expected to save $2 billion annually, the report indicated.
On Tuesday, The Huffington Post reported that Hallmark Cards, Inc. has hired lobbyists who will ask Congress to keep Saturday delivery and consider other cost-saving measures.
According to the report, postal workers say the move could result in the loss of 80,000 jobs.
"It's just another one of those things we are looking at too," said Miles.
Will the loss of Saturday mail delivery affect you? Tell us in comments.

Bothell >Food & Dining > Southwick, Gary - Main Street Ale House & Eatery
10111 Main St, Bothell, WA | Directions 9801147.760118 -122.204897
Great... but staff??? – I can not belive that after two years of the negative staff review below - managment has not taken action. I love this place! The food is amazing, the beer is awesome, the atmosphere is historic and great, but the wait staff is horrible.
I wait much too long, then once my order comes, I am never checked iin with again for satisfaction, additional needs, more beer, etc.... I never feel the wait staff deserves a tip.
But, there is ONE girl who is awesome and if you are lucky enough to get her, you are lucky. She is outgoing, bubbly, attentive, personable, and every thing a waitress should be. If I get her, I give her a double tip!
I did have one great behind-the-bar guy who was awesome, but one person can not do it all and he was over worked.
Management - wake up!!
Cool bar – I really like this place. If you want a big micro brew selection then this is the place for you. They don't just serve the standard Redhook and Mac and Jack. They have beers from other small breweries from around the northwest. Better tavern food than what is normal.
Great place to meet friends...... – Just visiting from out of town. What a great atmosphere and super menu selection. Loved the in house potato chips and the varity on the menu. Something for everyone. If I am ever back in Bothell it will be on the list of must do's. Service was great and very up beat. Made for a perfect fun evening with my friends.
Wonderful Local Pub – My friends and I love the Alehouse! The food is great. They have good, gooey burgers and my friend Jim loves the Ancho Ribs.
I have a fun time trying new drinks with the bartender. And oh yes, the beer is good too.
You can't find a better warm, friendly pub.
Good food but where is the staff?? – I really enjoy going to the ale house to meet with friends but everytime I am there I never seem to get any service. It's usually 10 min. before I even get a menu??
Stuck-up and arrogant servers – Hey, don't waste your time or money grabbing a tip out of your wallet. The servers are arrogant and rude and the overall service is lousy. The owner really needs to overhaul the entire wait staff. Well.. the daytime staff isn't so bad, but the night staff are the ones that need to go.
However, the kitchen staff are quite talented with the food and the Mac and Cheese is to die for! The one star I gave the Ale House is for the kitchen staff and food ONLY. Now to get the service to match the quality of the food..
