Photo courtesy of the National Archives and Records Administration, PD. As Congress debates passing new gun control measures, it's worth looking back in recent history at the relationship between a Republican President and Democratic Congress on this issue. As taped conversations from our presidential recordings archives reveal, President Richard Nixon expressed private support for banning handguns altogether and publically proposed banning "Saturday night specials" in response to gun violence against politicians in 1972 and 1973. Yet, he deferred to Congress to hammer out a legislative deal, which never fully materialized. Taped conversations with aides on May 16, 1972, the day following an attempted assassination that paralyzed presidential candidate George Wallace, reveal Nixon's personal position on hand guns: I don't know why any individual should have a right to have a revolver in his house…The kids usually kill themselves with it and so forth…can't we go after handguns, period? I know the rifle association will be against it, the gun makers will be against it. [But] people should not have handguns. But, a few days later, Nixon expressed opposition to measures that would go beyond banning handguns. He asked rhetorically: What do they want to do, just disarm the populace? Disarm the good folks and leave the arms in the hands of criminals? In another taped conversation, Nixon told his assistant for domestic affairs, John Ehrlichman, "We've got to be for gun control, John. I mean for hand gun control." In response to a memo he was reading at the time, Nixon told Ehrlichman that state and local controls on guns have never worked and therefore it was a matter of federal concern. The conversation continues: Nixon: We just ought to say that the bill is a matter for concern and we I feel we ought to outlaw them … Ehrlichman: You can say you wholeheartedly support Congressional action on that front. Publicly, Nixon would only go so far as to call on Congress to pass a ban on Saturday night specials. In a June 29, 1972 press conference, Nixon told reporters: I have always felt there should be a Federal law for the control of handguns. As you will note, Mr. Kleindienst testified to that effect earlier today and he did testify to that effect after checking my own position on it. The problem there is to write the law, the legislation, in such a way that it is precise and deals with that kind of handgun which ought to be controlled. And I am referring now to the Saturday night specials. These are ones where you would have Federal jurisdiction because many of them come in from abroad and, being imported from abroad, it would be particularly a matter for Federal control. I believe, however, that the legislation, if it is therefore precisely written--and we have been cooperating with the Senate committee, particularly with Senator Hruska, in attempting to work out the proper language--that the Congress should pass such a law, and I will sign it, ruling out Saturday night specials, which I think is the major source of this kind of crime you speak about. The shooting of Sen. John Stennis (D-Mississippi) on January 30, 1973 once again revived the gun control debate in the White House. On the day of the shooting, Nixon told White House special counsel Charles Colson: At least I hope that Saturday night special legislation, at least we're supporting that, you know. We're not for gun control generally, but we are for that. God damn it that ought to be passed. Or was it passed? When Colson responded that the bill had not been passed, Nixon responded, "We better damn well be for it now, huh?" At a press conference on the following day, Nixon told reporters that the Stennis' shooting was "senseless." When asked by a reporter why the White House hadn't spoken out very strong against gun controls and whether the incident had given Nixon thoughts, the president responded that "the problem with that is not so much the White House speaking out on handguns and Saturday night specials," but: We have, and I have, as you know, advocated legislation to deal with what we call the Saturday night specials, which can be acquired by anybody, including juveniles, and apparently there are some suggestions that juveniles were those involved in this case. I am not charging that, incidentally. I am saying what I read in the papers, most of which, as you know, is true. Nixon then deferred to Congress to come up with legislation that would pass: So, under the circumstances, I feel that Senator Hruska, who introduced the bill before and then it came a cropper in the Senate Judiciary Committee, will now work with the Judiciary Committee in attempting to find the formula which will get the support necessary to deal with this specific problem, without, at the same time, running afoul of the rights of those who believe that they need guns for hunting and all that sort of thing…. Incidentally, the legislation that we originally suggested or that we discussed with Senator Hruska, I thought precisely dealt with the problem, but it did not get through the Senate. My guess is that Senator Stennis--everything perhaps has a down side and an up side; I guess everything really does--but the very fact that Senator Stennis was the victim of one of these things--we thought this was the case when Governor Wallace was--but in this instance, it was apparently one of these small handguns that most people, most reasonable people, except for the all-out opponents of any kind of legislation in this field, most reasonable people believe it should be controlled. Perhaps we can get some action. I hope the Senate does act. I have asked the Attorney General-had asked incidentally before this happened-as one of his projects for this year to give us a legislative formula, not one that would simply speak to the country, and not get through, but one that can get through the Congress. That is the problem. In what would perhaps be an astonishing remark for a president today, Nixon told the reporters: Let me say, personally, I have never hunted in my life. I have no interest in guns and so forth. I am not interested in the National Rifle Association or anything from a personal standpoint. But I do know that, in terms of the United States Congress, what we need is a precise definition which will keep the guns out of the hands of the criminals and not one that will impinge on the rights of others to have them for their own purposes in a legitimate way.

-- Freshman Diamond DeShields knew Cameron Indoor Stadium could be tough on visitors -- especially those from hated rival North Carolina.
She didn't expect the Cameron Crazies would be this easy to tune out.
DeShields scored a season-high 30 points in the 17th-ranked Tar Heels' 89-78 upset of No. 3 Duke on Monday night.
The daughter of ex-major league infielder Delino DeShields hit 12 of 20 shots while becoming the first player to score 30 against Duke since 2009.
"Cameron is just, historically, a tough place to play, so I didn't expect any less tonight," DeShields said. "What I was surprised at (was), I didn't really care. It didn't bother me one bit. I'm proud of myself for having that mental toughness. ... I shot an airball and laughed it off."
Fellow freshman Allisha Gray added 24 points -- including three three-point plays in the final 8 minutes -- for the Tar Heels (18-6, 6-4 Atlantic Coast Conference).
Xylina McDaniel finished with 17 points for North Carolina -- which never trailed, hit 12 3-pointers, built three separate double-figure leads in the second half and finally made the third one stand.
The Tar Heels snapped a three-game overall losing streak, and a seven-game slide against their fiercest rivals by claiming their first win at Cameron since 2008.
"In the end, the players did it. They said, `We're going to make a statement and we're going to make a statement tonight," UNC associate head coach Andrew Calder said.
Elizabeth Williams
had a career-high 28 points on 12-of-23 shooting and blocked five shots, and
Tricia Liston
added 20 points for Duke (22-3, 9-2).
After last week's 88-67 loss to No. 2 Notre Dame, the Blue Devils have lost consecutive games at Cameron for the first time in two decades.
"I think that defense is something that this team generally wants other people to do," coach
Joanne P. McCallie
said. "We don't get into defense. We're playing defense to get the ball back on offense. ... Our transition defense has been awful. The difference in the game was transition defense."
Alexis Jones
had 15 points and 11 assists for the Duke, which twice in the second half trailed by double digits but closed within one possession. Liston pulled the Blue Devils to 63-61 with her free throw with 8:13 left.
DeShields then swished a 3 from the left corner on the Tar Heels' next trip downcourt -- holding her right hand in the air for a few extra seconds. Gray got behind
Haley Peters
for a fast-break layup through contact and hit the ensuing free throw to push the lead to 69-61 with 7:42 left.
Gray added another three-point play about 2 minutes later, and her 3-pointer with just under 5 minutes left put North Carolina up 75-64 -- its third double-figure lead of the half.
This one stuck: Duke didn't get closer than seven the rest of the way, and now has its first losing streak at Cameron since it lost to Virginia and Clemson in January 1994.
"We weren't getting the stops to tie or go ahead," Liston said.
DeShields eclipsed her previous high of 28 set against Arizona State in November and became the first player to put up 30 on the Blue Devils since James Madison's Dawn Evans (31) on Dec. 18, 2009.
"Winning here is not easy. Winning here is not common," DeShields said. "To be a part of that group of winners who come in here and do the job against great Duke teams, it's always a great feeling. ... That's part of history. I'm proud to be a part of it."
DeShields and McDaniel helped the Tar Heels dominate the first half. They led 45-36 at the break after repeatedly pushing their lead to 12.
DeShields had 15 points and McDaniel had 12 at halftime against a Duke team that hadn't allowed more than 44 points in any first half all year.
McDaniel's 3-pointer about 15 seconds into the second half made it 48-36, but Duke temporarily made it a game again by reeling off 11 straight points over the next 2 1/2 minutes.

A shooting victim was at large Tuesday night after an altercation at a high-end Las Vegas mall sent him scrambling down an escalator and down the street, police said.
Police have stopped two people in a car and believe they might be the suspects, but they are not yet sure, police Lt./Watch Commander Mark Reddon said. Witnesses said they believed the suspects fled in a blue car, Reddon said.
The scuffle started Tuesday shortly after 6 p.m. in the food court of the Fashion Show mall, an upscale shopping center frequented by tourists, according to Reddon.
Police believe the victim was shot in the neck or upper torso but that it was a superficial wound, Reddon said. Police have alerted local hospitals to be on the lookout for the alleged victim, he said.
An average-size crowd was at the shopping center when the fight began between the two men in their 20s or 30s, Reddon said. He added that police believe the altercation was gang-related.
Police are reviewing surveillance tapes for more information, according to Reddon.
The Fashion Show is on Las Vegas Boulevard, he said. "We very seldom have a problem down there."
Mall staffers could not be reached Tuesday evening.

This Dryer Fried My HairI've been using this hair dryer for about a year now, and was in the middle of drying my hair when I smelled something burning, turned off the dryer, and discovered it had burnt the section of my hair that I was drying. It turned the section of my hair orange, and then the section of hair began to break off. I went to my salon to see if there was any way to fix this and they told me no, I would just have to let it grow out. I contacted Sedu customer service and am very disatisfied that I spent that amount of money on a hair dryer for it to burn my hair, and then for customer service to not replace it.May 11, 2011LydiaHAIR TYPEBlonde / Color Treated Hair

Best Investment For Your Hair!I ordered the Sedu dryer a few weeks ago and LOVE it! I blowdry my hair almost every day and needless to say, that caused noticeable damage. My hair was breaking and brittle and I didn't realize it was my inexpensive drug store hair dryer that was causing the damage (I had blamed it partially on winter weather, over drying, etc)! After a trip to the salon, I noticed that my hair was noticeably smooth and silky after one blowdry with a professional dryer, and so my search began. I chose the Sedu dryer based on the reviews and to my surprise, they were completely accurate! This is definitely THE BEST INVESTMENT I've ever made for my hair. Not only does it cut my drying time in half (I have long hair and it only takes 6 minutes to dry now!), but it leaves my hair silky, smooth, and shiny. I've experienced noticeable results and have already recommended this dryer to my sister and mom! I was hesitant to spend over $100 on a blow dryer, but this hair dryer is definitely worth it!May 9, 2011Bgoh / NYCHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Its Eh....This blow dryer is eh. I cant say much on it because I dont blow dry it straight. I used the diffuser and the speed of the air was just too fast (even on low) and made my wavy bangs too straight and frizzy. It doesnt dry it faster at all... It took longer then with my Remington one! Under my bangs, it was still really wet after 20 min of drying! (well, with the diffuser)
So if you just want a blow dryer for the diffuser part, this is too fast, makes it frizzy, and doesn't dry it all the way. It did make it feel softer though. If you need to blow dry it for a straight look, then this might be good. But for my needs, it wasnt. Oh, and it does get really hot. Not sure if thats good or not. Either way, im going back to my Remington one :/ Oh well. I really wanted a professional one.May 7, 2011J T.HAIR TYPEDark Brown / Oily Hair / Curly Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Revoluationarily SucksMy hair:
Length = Long to very long
Thickness = Medium
Natural Color = Dark blonde
Issues = I highlight the bajebus out of it.
Texture = naturally straight
Comments = generally happy with my hair-- wasn't seeking a massive fix when I bought the 4000i
What I wanted:
1. Faster drying time and
2. Smooth and shiny hair-- enough so that I could even skip the flat iron when in a hurry and not feel like a frizz monster. I'm not really a frizz monster to begin with, so I was surprised that my results were....
What I Got:
1) Flatter than usual
2) Flyaway city
Anyone know what a flyaway is? I just learned. They look like little spikes exuding from one's scalp as if to scream 'I'VE JUST BEEN ELECTROCUTED' They are actually just strands of broken hair-- they are natural and normal but for me they normally lain hidden within my locks. Until I met the 4000i.
I tried all of the different settings
I tried pointing the nozzle downward as opposed to flipping my hair upside down which has been normal for me for the last... 25 years.
I even bought a special brush.
And still, my hair made me appear as though I was subject to an ongoing shock current.
So, exactly 30 days to the date of receipt, I sent the 4000i back on its merry way to Folica to redeem my refund. The fact that the motor was making angry noises reinforced my suspicion that either I got a lemon, or, well, the 4000i just sucks.
The end.
PS (um, what's the point in having an ion switch? If I bought the ion hair dryer than I obviously want the ionic qualities so why would I want to turn them off, anyway? But nonetheless, I tried sans ion switch and the results were the same).

Never Thought The Hair Dryer Would Make A DifferenceThis is a pricey hair dryer but my fly away hair is needing what ever help I can find. The result is nice and shiney hair that calms down after a quick and easy dry process. I have not used the attachments but will try them out soon. This dryer is fast and small and the noise is very minimal compared to my CHI dryer. I would recommend this dryer to any one who wants a quiet and quick dryer to smooth fly away hair.May 4, 2011Reno / WIHAIR TYPEBlonde / Curly Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

A Few Flaws, But Seems Great So Far.So far, the Sedu Revolution Pro Tourmaline Ionic 4000i Hair Dryer has been great. I can't say for sure yet if it is worth the price, but I have only been using it for a couple of weeks. It is extremely powerful. The good part, is that it dries your hair quickly, although it doesn't cut down too much on my styling time. Also, while the dryer itself gets very hot, the air doesn't get overly hot, so you never feel like you are frying your hair. However, for me and my softer blonde hair, the air is so strong that it kind of tangles my hair a bit - the way my hair would tangle if I rode in a convertible or on a very windy day. It does seem to make my hair smoother, but I haven't noticed a huge difference between that and my old, regular dryer. However, I have a feeling that it might be better for my hair over time. Also, the last couple of weeks have been very rainy here, so it has been hard to combat the frizz and really see if my hair is consistently smoother. With that said, on rainy days, my hair is still frizzy even with the Sedu Revolution Pro Tourmaline Ionic 4000i Hair Dryer. The only other complaint I have is that the cool button is right where I would normally put my thumb, and where I think most people would normally put their thumb - right on the front of the handle. And, it takes very little pressure to press it. So, unless you don't hold your hair dryers around the handle, you will have to change your grip or you will keep getting blasts of cool air. The first time I used it, I thought the air didn't get hot at all because I didn't realize I was pushing the button. Overall, it seems like a great dryer, and definitely better than a normal dryer, but I think I need more time to determine if it is totally worth the price.May 1, 2011Megan / Bexley, OHHAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair

Superb HairdryerAfter reading the reviews on the web site, I decided to invest in the Sedu hairdryer. It arrived quickly and was more amazing than I even expected. I wash and dry my hair every day, so I was interested to see if this product could live up to its claims-- and it absolutely did. My hair dries smooth and quickly. The compact design of the hairdryer makes it very easy to handle and work with while also holding a brush. It was worth the price! So glad I have one. My hair is thankful, too.Apr 22, 2011AimeeHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Alternative title:
東京赤ずきん Tokyo Akazukin (Japanese)
Tokyo Red Hood (English)
Genres: Seinen | Action | Fantasy | Horror
# of Chapters: n/a
Vintage: 2003I first got into this manga through the #Lurk channel where a few of the Lurkers were discussing it. I wasn't paying much attention to the convo but I decided to download the first volume anyway. All I knew about Tokyo Red Hood was that it was violent, it had loli sex, and the plot was confusing. Needless to say those three things I mentioned above piqued my interest enough to read it. When I started reading it I was immediately was thrown into it. The first chapter was hard to understand and it seemed the story would be to complex, but it starts making more sense as you start reading it. The artwork is one thing that should be mentioned for this manga because it is in fact, beautiful artwork. The cast of characters are all complex and have a background that leave you wondering wtf. The thought that this manga has "loli sex" might turn many people off from this manga, but it shouldn't. Tokyo Red Hood blends all of its genre into something different and offers the reader something new. Don't let this one pass you by.SYNOPSISTokyo Red Hood is about an eleven year old girl who usually just goes by the name of Akazukin(Little Red Riding Hood). She has a sick obsession with a being known only as Mr. Wolf and wants nothing more then to be eaten by him to end her "immortal" life. Akazukin has lost all of her memories and doesn't even know who she really is. Her reason to want to be eaten by Mr. Wolf is not even know to her, instead it's a desire that is locked deep within her consciousness.
The beings of the world are mainly made up of two forces. The people who aid Akazukin in her search for Mr. Wolf, and the people who try and keep Akazukin away from Mr. Wolf. The people of the church and disciples of God try and stop Akazukin from completing her mission to meet Mr. Wolf. Their reason for doing this is because if Akazukin is eaten by the Wolf, it would bring along an end to the world and human kind as it exists in the present day. The people who's origins are from the underworld aid Akazukin to find Mr. Wolf so the fate of the world being destroyed can be fulfilled. They mainly do this discreetly and behind the shadows.
Akazukin works as an organ harvester for an Italian butcher named Marco. From there she hunts new bodies for him and all the while tries to find Mr. Wolf. Along the way she meets villains who stand in her way from fulfilling her wish to be eaten by Mr. Wolf.
WARNING: This manga is not for those with a weak stomach or constitution. It can get very gorey and suggestible throughout the entire manga. You've been warned.

Sarah Robertson will be 95 years old on June 27. In honor of her birthday, her family will be hosting a celebration for her friends and family at the Orangeville City Hall, 25 North Main, Orangeville, on June 25 from 2-5 p.m. No gifts please.
Dorothy Ross was born in Green River on June 6, 1911 and after illness was unable to remain in her beloved home, so recently she celebrated her 95 birthday at her daughter's home in Price. She had flowers, cards, family and friends that joined to wish her well. Her two great-grandchildren Tiana and Canica are shown giving loves to Dorothy who is known as everyone's favorite grandma. Her most pleasant surprise was when her 80 year old little brother Tommy Hastings and his wife Vera surprised her with a big box of chocolates which she immediately hid. She had an enjoyable afternoon and told everyone that she would see them next year when she turns 96 and knowing her, she probably will.

Dear NFL players covering Calvin Johnson,
You are not Optimus Prime. Stop calling yourselves Optimus Prime.
Richard Sherman did it last month before his Seattle Seahawks played Megatron and the Detroit Lions. Then, Green Bay Packers cornerback Tramon Williams said it this week ahead of Sunday's matchup with Johnson.
To make matters dorkier, Sherman is now beefing with Williams over his use of the Optimus Prime nickname, because apparently Sherman ripping it off from every other corner who tried to use it over the past five years was the height of originality.
Stop it. For three reasons.
1. Calvin Johnson is better than you.
2. You're grown men fighting over a nickname of a cartoon character.
3. Worst of all, by identifying yourself solely by your perceived/delusional dominance over Calvin Johnson, you're letting another player define who you are. Be your own man, not Calvin Johnson's adversary. Larry Bird didn't call himself "Reality" when he played Magic Johnson. He just went out and tried to beat him. When you say you're Optimus Prime, it's basically a 21st century adult version of "I'm rubber, you're glue."
GALLERY: Worst sports nicknames of all time
Sherman says holding Johnson to under 50 yards in last month's game proves his claim to Optimus Prime. Oh really? In the game your team lost?
He makes a salient point in mentioning that Megatron had 15 catches for 293 yards and two touchdowns against Williams and the Packers last year, but even that misses the point. Johnson is still a better wideout than you're a corner. "Holding" him to anything doesn't change that. When LeBron James only scores 17 points against the Charlotte Bobcats, Bismack Biyombo isn't saying he took over LeBron's throne in a bloodless coup.
The leader of the Autobots is supposed to be a worthy adversary of Megatron.
The complexities involved in being Optimus Prime are bigger than you anyway. His Wikipedia page is 26,000 words. Abraham Lincoln's is 14,000. Are you saying you're better than Abraham Lincoln?
You know who might be good enough to say they're Optimus Prime? Charles Tillman of the Chicago Bears. But he already has a nickname and it's "Peanut." Maybe Megatron has one of those really bad allergies.
So enough with the Optimus Prime. At worst, it's completely untrue. At best, it's hackneyed. But if you insist on sticking with the whole Transformers theme, think of someone else associated with the series that ran Megatron into the ground. "Michael Bay" would be a great nickname.

Students in the psychology department have the opportunity to take part in several research projects predominantly during their junior and senior years. Research opportunities are available through independent studies, the research 400 classes, as well as in the form of a senior thesis. The department has several rooms and labs available for research purposes. Rooms 110-114 are available upon approval of a department member. If you would like to reserve a room please contact Quentin Bates.
Erin Berger '10
"The Relationship Between Fungiform Papillae Density, PTC Supertasting, Food Preferences, and Eating Behaviors in College Students." The present study examined taster status, BMI, food preferences and eating behaviors for 63 Wittenberg University students. Results from this study have shown that taster status, indicated by PTC intensity scores and fungiform papillae densities, explains heightened taste sensitivity and therefore influences food preferences.
Sarah Murray '10
"Hemespheric Responses to Different Musical Selections." The aim of this study was to detect, using electroencephalography, whether or not individuals respond differently to modalities within Western tonal music. Specifically I investigated whether or not hemispheric dominance had any effect on the participants' responses to specific musical selections, and if men and women respond differently.
Kathleen Snead '10
"Toxis Leadership: Sour Milk Rising to the Top." This study evaluated leader emergence in relation to the Dark Triad, controlling for the Big Five personality constructs. A sample of 120 Wittenberg University students completed a battery of questionnaires assessing each Dark Triad and Big Five trait. Participants then collaborated with three other students on a task and subsequently answered questions about the group's leadership.
Monica Karsai '09
"Distinguishing Between Rational and Experiential Information Processing Styles." The purpose of this study was to examine differences in rational and experiential thinking styles. Eight measures were used in conjunction with the Rational-Experiential Inventory to determine strengths and weaknesses of each style.
Courtney McNutt '09
"The Effects of Neighborhood Disorder and Moderator Variables on Physical Health and Psychological Well-Being." A sample of 77 participants was given a questionnaire that assessed their perceptions of disorder in their neighborhood, their individual assets, and their physical health and psychological well-being. Neighborhood disorder predicted physical health, fear, and mistrust. Formal social ties and church attendance buffered the effects of neighborhood disorder on health, fear, and mistrust.
Kristina Steiner '09
"Hemispheric differences in processing anaphoric inferences: Application of the stop-signal paradigm." Participants in this experiment viewed either constrained or neutral texts that required making an anaphoric inference and then performed a lexical decision task in response to target words that were the inconsistent antecedent to the anaphoric inference. We expected to find that the RH would respond similarly to targets after both constrained and neutral texts, but that the LH would respond slower to targets after constrained texts than neutral texts.
Kari Phelan '08
"A Typology of Retaliation Strategies Against Social Aggression Among Adolescent Girls." The objective of this study was twofold (1) to examine which socially aggressive topics were most provocative and (2) to develop a typology for retaliation against social aggression. These concepts were analyzed through qualitative interviews with a sample 15 girls, ages 10-16.
Abigail Sjostrom '08
"Parental Divorce, Parent-Child Conflict, and College Student Well-Being." This study examined the effects of parental divorce and parent-child conflict on college students' depressive symptoms, eating behavior, and alcohol use. It was hypothesized that students from divorced homes would experience more depressive symptoms, disordered eating, and alcohol use than students from intact families.
Jennifer Storer '08
"Face Processing in the Brain in Left Handed Individuals" The experiment investigates hemispheric specialization for face processing in neurologically intact left handed individuals with parental sinistrality.
Christine Maddox '07
"A Comparision of Bulimic Tendencies in College and Non-college Women." Following research by Hesse-Biber, Marino, & Watts-Roy (1999) on individuals with undiagnosed eating problems, the bulimic tendencies of college (n = 57) and noncollege women (n = 56), ages 18 – 22, were compared in order to assess the effect that living on a college campus has upon disordered eating.
James Martin '07
"Inter-hemispheric interaction and degree of handedness in relation to social, political, gender, and philosophical beliefs in undergraduates." The current study replicated Niebauer's study and additionally sought to find similar correlations between mixed-handedness and progressive beliefs in the areas of egalitarianism, political ideology, and moral traditionalism. No significant correlations (merely several trends) are established between handedness and belief systems.
Jami Unger '07
"Examining the Effects of Achievement Events on Children's Positive and Negative Affect." The current study examined the effects of achievement orientation and events (positive and negative) on positive and negative affect in 71 fifth and sixth graders.
Liz Asta '06
"Effectiveness of Family Therapy with Children: A Meta-Analytic Study."
This meta-analysis is looking at whether family therapy is more effective with children than other populations. This review of 24 studies is also looking at whether family therapy is more effective with minority families, children in two-parent families, and several other variables.
Tracy Butler '06
"Hemispheric lateralization of emotion in relation to levels of sociotropy and autonomy following achievement and interpersonal experiences."
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of sociotropy, autonomy, depression, and neuroticism on drawing placement after a positive achievement and interpersonal experience or a negative achievement and interpersonal experience.
Ashley Huffman '06
"Romantic College Relationships and Personality Type as Predictors of Homesickness Symptomatology among College Freshmen."
This study analyzes students'relationship status, and correlates this with their feelings of homesickness and depression during their first month at Wittenberg.

Human Rights Month
December is International Human Rights Month. To celebrate, SBAI is featuring individuals who were a part of five important moments in the expansion of human rights for all.
According to the Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights (OHCHR):
Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible.
Universal human rights are often expressed and guaranteed by law, in the forms of treaties, customary international law , general principles and other sources of international law. International human rights law lays down obligations of Governments to act in certain ways or to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals or groups.
Pushpa Basnet
Pushpa Basnet, one of CNN's 2012 Heroes Winners, founded the Early Childhood Development Center (ECDC) in Kathmandu Napal in 2005. The center works with jail administrators to keep the children of incarcerated individuals out of jail cells. In Nepal, incarcerated parents (particularly mothers) must bring their children to jail with them if there are no individuals available to act as a gaurdian. Children growing up in jail cells lack access to education, nutrition, and medical care. Basnet's center gives children of incarcerated individuals a safe home, regular medical check-ups, and enrollment in a local school. Children have regular visitations with their parents, including on holidays.
Patricia Nobbie
Patricia Nobbie is the deputy director of the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities. Her council, along with the United States Justice Department, pushed several states, including Georgia, to move developmentally disabiled patients into group homes or other forms of assisted living. The Justice Department has in recent years threatened legal action against states like Georgia who are accused of violating the civil rights of developmentally disabled individuals by placing them in hospitals and nursing homes rather than integrating them into society.
Tammy Baldwin
It was a good year for the LGBTQ community and its supporters during the US elections. Tammy Baldwin became the first openly gay United States Senator. There was also the re-election of pro-LGBTQ leaders President Barack Obama and his Vice President Joe Biden (who called transgender discrimination the "civil rights issue of our era"), but more importantly, there were big wins in terms of marriage equality. Maine, Minnesota, and Washington all voted to support marriage equality, and Maryland struck down an amendment that would have defined marriage as one-man-one-woman. Additionally, Stacie Laughton became New Hampshire's first transgender lawmaker.
Bibiana Ferraiuoli Suarez
In October of this year, in Puerto Rico, Betsian Carrasquillo-Peñaloza was indicted for having recruited, enticed, and transported a 14-year-old to engage in commercial sex acts knowing that the individual was a minor. It may be just one case, but it serves as a beacon of hope that many more cases may be presented and end in a similar fashion. And in an issue like sex trafficking, where perpetrators rarely face consequences from the legal system, it's certainly cause to celebrate
Pictured is Bibiana Ferraiuoli Suarez, Executive Director of the Ricky Martin Foundation. The Ricky Martin Foundation advocates for the well being of children around the world in critical areas such as education, health, and social justice. Its principal program, People for Children, condems child exploitation and human trafficking. Ferraiuoli reported the indictment on Huffington Post last month.
Jack Drescher
Jack Drescher is a member of the American Psychiatric Association subcommittee working on revisions to its widlely used Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders (DSM). One revision will include a change in language from "Gender Identity Disorder" to "Gender Dysphoria." The language change came as a result of years of lobbying by advocates who felt that term "Gender Identity Disorder" as a classification for mental illness implied that all transgender individuals are mentally ill. The new language diagnoses individuals with Gender Dysphoria as displaying "a marked incongruence between one's experienced/expressed gender and assigned gender." While some advocates feel that this is not an adequate change, many agree that it is a great step forward in the conversation about civil rights and transgender individuals. Some see it as mirriong the removal of "homosexuality" from the DSM in 1973.

The discreet charm of Forte dei Marmi
One of the most popular seaside resorts on the Tyrrhenian coast, Forte dei Marmi has grown up around a pier built in the 16th century for the loading of Apuan marble; this was protected in 1788 by a fort built by Leopoldo I, which may be seen in the centre, in Piazza Garibaldi. Aristocrats from all over Europe, diplomats, buisnessmen, capitains of industry, artists and celebrities came to spend relaxing holidays in this resort noted for its fine sands, many of them builing splendid villas amidst the pinewoods.

GDB 78: The Brink
Jason Gregor
April 02 2009 03:04PM
The Oilers playoff hopes are on the brink (I said a loss against the Ducks was the unofficial end of the dream, but mathematically they are still alive), and the Sharks are circling tonight. Do they smell blood?
Can the Oilers live to skate another day? Who the hell knows? One game at a time was the overwhelming theme and retort inside the lockerroom, and really, what else do the Oilers have to cling to.
I suggest covering your eyes when the second period starts. The Oilers have been outscored 90-74 in the middle frame, while the best frame is the 2nd where they have dominated the opposition 86-50 on the scoreboard.
The Oilers best frame, not surprisingly is the third where they have potted 73 and given up 66 goals. The first period they are -4, scoring 67-71. Maybe they should each chug a Rockstar or one of those Five hour energy drinks. Or get their video guru, Brian Ross, to have a motivational vignette of great movie speeches.
Play parts of Rudy, or the Reg Dunlop speech when he tell the team the only option left is to win the F-ing league. How about Tony DAmatos (Al Pacino) halftime doozy during Any Given Sunday to fire up the troops? Because whatever is happening in the first intermission is not working, so they better do something to change it up.
The Trailer Park Boys were at the Rex this morning. They must have had a ripper of a party in Lethbridge last night because the aroma was obvious this morning. They eventually made their way to the players only area in the back of the room. Maybe Bubbles or Ricky or Julien loosened the boys up with a skit or some inspirational story about gathering shopping carts, living in a car, dealing pot or how to succeed with a drink in your hand 24/7.
At this point the Oilers need to try something different. Their routine is not working. Sixteen wins in 37 home games is pitiful. There will be one lineup change tonight. Robert Nilsson will skate on the LW with Gagner and OSullivan. Penner will play with Stortini and Brodziak. Expect to see Horcoff go against the Thornton line, and he will be flanked by Pisani and Moreau on certain shifts, and Hemsky and Kotalik the rest of the time.
The Oilers have more EV goals than the Sharks, 143-132, but they have also given up more 140-116 five-on-five. The glaring difference between these teams comes, wait for it, on special teams. The Sharks have 70 PP goals to the Oilers 48, and theres a bigger gap on the PK. The Oilers PK has surrendered 70 goals, while the Sharks have only been scored on 44 times.
Combine the two and the Sharks are 48 goals better than the Oilers on special teams. That explains the 30 point difference in the standings. I'm not sure what will have more life support tonight; the Oilers or the ER finale. Both might become unwatchable.
April 02 2009, 09:32PM
BBAHHHH NO!!!! Amazing play by Hemsky there. And of course no finish. DAMN YOU GODS OF HOCKEY!!!!
April 02 2009, 09:37PM
Whey does Penner take draws on the power play????? Anyone? I just noticed this for the first time a couple games ago.
Maybe he's drawing in when the primary guy gets kicked out.

Well. At least they made the last 30 minutes entertaining.
Here comes the vortex of deeeeeath!!!!
April 02 2009, 09:59PM
Sigh. Well, at least there was some effort near the end.
April 02 2009, 10:02PM
Why on Earth was Souray up in front of the net? Why? Why on Earth did they win the faceoff to Tom Gilbert for the point shot? Why not Souray? Why? Why was Gilbert and Grebeshkov manning the blueline while Souray was roaming around as a rover with the extra man? Why was there 3 d-man? Why?
Better play it safe, so when we pull the goalie to get an extra attacker, we throw out an extra defenseman? Really?
Like... for real?

Yeah sorry. I usually assume "Kevin Lowe press conference after the game" means something big. It ended up being the most bizarre thing I've seen in a while.
April 02 2009, 11:21PM
Kevin Lowe handed the reigns over a year too late. By the time this team is ready to win, the vets will be long gone (or shells of themselves). He moved 3 key core roll players last summer that this team could desparatly use.
Jarret Stoll was supposed to be this teams future captain. Some thought maybe that time came prior to last season after the Jason Smith trade. The Oil instead named Ethan Moreau captain and then played virtually all season without their team leader. Stoll was a key faceoff man and a key penalty killer - both problem areas for the Oil since moving him. Also, now without Stoll, the Oilers felt the pressure to get Shawn Horcoff signed. Without another veteran center, Lowe had to act fast to ensure Horcoff was locked up long-term, signing him to a six year deal with a cap hit of $5.5 million (actual $$ figure of $7 million next season). Jarret Stoll soon after his trade signed a new four year deal worth $3.6 million (the same 3.6 that Horcoff is making under his old deal). Now I'm not saying they should've kept Stoll over Horcoff. I'm just saying that with Horcoff signed to a deal paying 3.6 til the end of this season (no 6yr extension) and Stoll signed to that same 4yr deal LA gave him, the Oil may not have been leveraged by Horcoff so badly. Or at least they could've decided to move the impending UFA at the deadline and kept Stoll to be the team leader he seemed destined to be.
This team has lacked energy all season and at times has lacked grit. Raffi Torres' name come to mind? I know he was frustrating at times and he lacked consistency, but he's 27 (just hitting his prime, or physical & mental maturation if you will, lol). Have you noticed what he's done for the Columbus Blue Jackets lately? And now they're looking at him to be a key veteran leader for a young, inexperienced team (kinda sounds like the Oilers). One can only wonder what he could've done for this team. He may have been frustrating, but surely not as frustrating as this year's team. After last season, I figured that I would rather move Ethan Moreau than Torres. Torres is not only younger, but more skilled. And with some criticism of Ethan Moreau this season, could it be that I was right. I'm not questioning Moreau, I'm just saying that maybe he's not the right captain for this team. Heck, take a look around the league at all the other captains and check their ice time to Moreau's. Doesn't that say something. Gritty, classy veteran that any contender would love to have, but maybe not the right man to lead this ship.
With such an urgency to remodel their blueline in more of a puck moving style, Kevin Lowe may have tipped the scales to far. Matt Greene was pegged as Jason Smith's replacement, and with Steve Staios' time nearing an end, Green would've become the big, #4 physical, stay-at-home, shutdown defenseman this club lacks. Instead, he along with Stoll, have taken LA's penalty-kill from 29th last season to 9th this season. The Oilers incidently went from 5th last season to 28th this season. Coincidence? And many of the same things said about Moreau could be said about Staios.
There's a time to be loyal, and a time be right. No one ever questions how loyal the Oil are.

I think the next post/blog needs to be called free fall because the oilers are clearly over the brink.

Very stylish bootie
"I purchased the pink one. It is very sparkling and most fitted for parties. I would not wear this to office work of course because of the shiny wedges. Runs almost true to size, I mean, it is only a bit narrow, not a big problem. But probably get half size up if you have wide feet. Its a keeper"

Versatile Wedge
"I wear a 6 and these shoes are a perfect fit. I do recommend wearing stockings or some thin sock. The inside of the shoe isn't one to go bear foot with especially if you're feet sweat easily.I have these in the plum velvet (that's the color on the box) color. I have received so many complaints when wearing these shoes. They are very comfortable and you can wear them for long periods of time. I have never had my feet hurt after wearing these shoes.The sparkle on the heel is great. The glitter has yet to come off or transfer. The picture of the heel is spot on but it doesn't do the overall shoe justice. I would recommend to anyone looking for a shoe they can dress up or down. I call it my perfect comfortable winter wedge."

Love it
"This is the first time I've ever have this height of heels, I was afraid I couldn't walk easy in them when I saw the pictures on the website, but because their cuteness I decide to give them a chance. It turned out very comfy and the look is very trendy. I ordered the fuschia color and they go perfect with my fuschia dress."

Everything We Ever Wanted (Paperback)
A recently widowed mother of two, Sylvie Bates-McAllister finds her life upended by a late-night phone call from the headmaster of the prestigious private school founded by her grandfather where her adopted son Scott teaches. Allegations of Scott's involvement in a hazing scandal cause a ripple effect, throwing the entire family into chaos. For Charles, Sylvie's biological son, it dredges up a ghost from the past who is suddenly painfully present. For his wife Joanna, it forces her to reevaluate everything she's hoped for in the golden Bates-McAllisters. And for Scott, it illuminates harsh truths about a world he has never truly felt himself a part of.
But for all the Bates-McAllisters, the call exposes a tangled web of secrets that ties the family together: the mystery of the school hazing, the event that tore Charles and Scott apart the night of their high school awards ceremony, and the intended recipient of a certain bracelet. The quest to unravel the truth takes the family on individual journeys across state lines, into hospitals, through the Pennsylvania woods, and face-to-face with the long-dormant question: what if the life you always planned for and dreamed of isn't what you want after all?

Now available in a smaller 2-inch size for a more finesse-style presentation, the Evolve RX Vibra Micro Grub is perfect for those times when the fish get finicky and nothing else seems to work. Unlike any soft bait on the market today - many have tried to mimic the Vibra Micro Grub's action ... to no avail. It was engineered to flutter, undulate, and give the illusion that it is in fact propelling itself through underwater environments - an action that makes this lure look impossibly alive. As long as water flows across the front of the Evolve Vibra Micro Grub, it will do things no lure has ever done.
Based on bass and other predators' habits when deciding to attack or ignore an artificial bait, Evolve's Rx highly technical soft baits were born. Fish them, and know they will produce.

Comments: Holy crap this is the king of trout and crappie baits. You can also use a bigger jughead...like a 1/8 or 1/4 ounce darter or painted jughead and lighter line and go to town on smallmouth and walleye.
From: Jay: NY 4/12/14
Comments: I use the larger ones on all my bladed swim jigs or on dart head jigs for largemouth and smallies, but these tiny ones on the jig they provide CLEAN UP on trout and crappie.
From: Greg: TN
Comments: These are great for panfish and small bass, got a little irritated after I unhooked about 50 pumpkinseeds and moved to something larger. Works well on the small jig they provide.
From: Chad: Yakima, WA
Comments: Baitfish and white shadow colors get it done on crappie and smallmouth. Switched out included jighead for a jackall nose hook "i motion" head... just swim it and jerk it and u'll get slammed.
From: Jeff: MD, USA
Comments: I have been fishing the Hot Flash for bass and crappie and doing really well. The jig that comes with the package is great for trout, but I like oversizing my jigs on little baits to really make them dart. Other then that... same sweet action as the bigger ones.

Skip to comments.Fox News signs Karl Rove for 4 more years
Posted on 01/17/2013 2:25:06 PM PST by elephant
Karl Rove enlivened Fox News Channel's election coverage last year by questioning the network's declaration that Barack Obama had been re-elected. It hasn't affected Fox's desire to keep him on the air.
The network announced Thursday that it had signed Rove to a new contract as a contributor. The deal runs through the 2016 election.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
This news tells me neither Rove nor FOX learned a damn thing from the last election coverage.
Another great reason not to watch Fox. Rove, Geraldo, Hannity, Colmes, Beckel, Williams, and all of the other idiots on that network spew the same MSM propaganda as the other MSM networks. Everything you see in the MSM is a lie. Its all government propaganda spoon fed to the slaves. Burn your TV. Fox is part of the MSM.
elephant :
Was it illustrious accuracy in the last election ?
Would be 1000 percent better....
FOX must be on a suicide mission. Rove has zero credibility. When he comes on the tube I change it as fast as when the Kenyan pops up to stink up my screen.
He adds nothing.
A tingle just ran up Sean Hannity's leg...
We need the Free Republic network. There should be a conservative billionaire out there who could write the check.
Agreed. What tools.
And I will not watch FOX for four more years.
Yes... but did Fox News re-up his chalkboard/grease board? (snark)
GMTA. See my post from yesterday outlining a winning primetime lineup on Fox News Channel:
Allen West
Sarah Palin
Mark Levin
Thomas Sowell
Jim Robinson
...and further advocating the immediate dismissal of the sodomite Shepard Smith, affirmative-action hire Juan Williams and the foul-mouthed Bob Beckel. And, of course, Jerry Rivers, yet another affirmative-action employee in their stable.
Rove and now Dennis "The Menace" Kucinich on Fox. Lovely. When will Conservatives have their own news network ?
Laugh of the day, thanks!
"Was it illustrious accuracy in the last election ?"
The dashing good looks, manly figure and the crushing victories against all odds in his day.
I watch no (alleged) news network.
If you need to keep a lot of sharp axes around, Rove is the one to hire.
I guess they have a vision -just like the NRC- to get rid of conservatives. If they could only get al gore on during prime time, the circus would be complete.
Hogs gone wild.
He ran blockades for the establishment against the conservatives. Flawed or nor, he should have not worked to help them versus to destroy them. We still have the crybaby speaker who caves, now this. Here it comes and all of these stories to cave on traditional marriage, cave on gun rights and cave on breaking the constitution. Fox is moving towards the dems thinking. We need a new television channel for Christians, to promote our nation's constitution and US history; a place for patriots and conservatives. Rove has done enough damage. Libs don't like him and now conservatives do not like him so, why sign him back. Guess, he picks the next nominee (again)
Losers deserve each other.
->>he should have not worked to help them versus to destroy them
Rove should had worked (sorry/correction) to help them
Fox is moving towards the dems thinking.
I thought it was just me thinking that FOX news is moving in that direction. I have also listened to Rush and he does not sound the same anymore....
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Oh boy! Rove and Dennis (Spaceman) Kucinich are both working for Foxnews now!
I'm all for that!!!
I was going to say that. You beat me to it. Kudos.
I'm sick of this pompous ass.
Hannity, who has made a personal hero of this backroom, deal-making leach along with the disgusting LIEberman, is on my no-watch list. O'Reilly (who really stands for nothing) has been there for some time.
Andrew Napolitano and Neil Cavuto are favored hosts.
Napolitano no longer appears on Fox(y), but should be our candidate for president.
Certainly not performance-based employment....
I don't watch Fox any more. If I want up to the minute news, I come here to FR, Drudge, Michelle Malkin, News Busters, or other online sources.
Fox needs me more than I need them
I never, ever got the fascination and admiration directed at Karl Rove. I think W suffered from his advice.
Let's see here ...
FOXNews partly owned by a Saudi roayl ...
CEO Rupert Murdoch advocates for another AWB ...
FOXNews president Roger Ailes purges Sara Palin, Glenn Beck, and Newt Gingrich from FOXNews while bringing on more and more leftist contributors to bolster their slogan "Fair and Balanced" ...
Bill O'Reilly, what else can be said about BoRe? All he wants is another softball interview with BHO.
Bill O'Reilly won't shut up
The CBS "60 Minutes" interview of Bill O'Reilly by Mike Wallace on 9/19/2007.
video run length = 11:40 minutes
Go to the 7:30 minute mark and listen. BoRe, who describes himself on "The O'Reilly Factor" as a defender of American traditional values, admits in this interview that he supports ...
1. gun control - He revealed on his show on 1/16/2013 that he wants (1) universal background checks, (2) mandatory gun registration, and (3) ban on all assault weapons.
2. repeal of the death penalty
3. civil unions for everybody
4. homosexual adoption
5. governement actions to reverse global warming
Later in the interview he claims that John Kerry is a patriot, and that the Swift Boat Veterans were very bad men in their treatment of him back in 2004.
... and let's not forget the neo-con, Dr. Charles Krauthammer ...
1. speechwriter for 1988 VP candidate Walter Mondale
2. contributor to the left-of-center political journal, The New Republic
3. supported BHO for the presidency on FOXNews during SEP-OCT 2008
4. supports gun control
Curious if any FReeper has heard if Sarah was re-signed to FNC, or how long her current contract runs.
I would love to see Mark Levin instead of Rove.
Rove sucked up and said obama's campaign strategy was "brilliant" so he could keep his job. I regret ever shaking the phony sob's hand.
I haven't seen such a return on investment since I bought Studebaker stock.
Another reason why I don't watch FOX News anymore . . . they're totally watered down to just what the RINOs in D.C. are . . . Democrat-lite . . .
And since they just signed that worthless and unemployable idiot from Cleveland, Denny Kookcinich to be a contributor (as if he would have anything to contribute), I've written off FOX as a retread CNN.
Rove, Kucinich, and all the other RINO-land jackasses at FOX are totally written off in my house.
I don't watch Fox anymore. Not for years. I listen to Mark in the evenings. Live right now.
Not sure Mark could do TV as well as radio.
Either that of they both got the results that they wanted from it and would like a repeat for 2016.
Because some people still believe that Fox and the GOP are still 'conservative'. But the actions of both over the last 2 years clearly show they are closer to the left than to us.
Until the people considering themselves conservative face the proven reality that they are not, we will go nowhere but down into obscurity. Hiring Jim would be the opposite of their demonstrated direction. And they are going in that direction because they are opposed to what he/we believe.
FOX must be on a suicide mission. Rove has zero credibility. When he comes on the tube I change it as fast as when the Kenyan pops up to stink up my screen.
Agree. He joined the Rasmussen credibility school for me.
As much of a jackas— as Beckel is he called the election very accurately.
He is probably more connected than these alleged gurus...
Actually Rove got it right. He was teamed with a eurocrat, Trippe? and they presented a map showing state polls that consistently predicted the outcome.
He was spot on in Delaware predicting the defeat of the Senate candidate. Freepers were mightily pissed, but Rove was correct in his prediction.
Rove is the most overrated consultant of them all.
Why? And why would anyone outside of Mr. Rove's immediate family and friends care about what he says about anything? I fail to see how he has a following.

yes I do recall their maps. Did he call it one way or another in the end ?
I don't remember his saying Obama will win....
I don't have a problem with the token liberals on FNC. It's hard to generate sparks if everyone is simply echoing agreement.
It is the GOPe RINO faux conservatives that get me—and make Fox now a network to root against, which is sad considering the other alternatives we have.
Time for some real competition—Fox itself is the Juan Williams of our nation's news networks.
Every time Karl Rove shows up on FOX I switch channels. I do the same for Juan Williams, and Allen Colmes. If everyone did this maybe FOX would get the point.
