people, whether healthy or dysfunctional, even if there is a small chance that this may occur, some families are reluctant to allow their children to participate in screening efforts.
Males with a genotype resulting in low MAOA activity who are maltreated in childhood have a strong chance (85 percent) of developing antisocial behavior (Caspi, McClay, et al., 2002). Screening early in life with genetic testing would appear to be advantageous in that preventive interventions are available that focus on cultivating strong family systems. However, screening could be stigmatizing for black males, who are frequently stereotyped and more likely to be harshly punished compared with their counterparts (U.S. Public Health Service, 2001a). There has been public and organized opposition to screening programs, such as Teen Screen,1 a national mental health and suicide risk screening program (Lenzer, 2004). This dilemma represents a barrier for screening programs for MEB disorders.
Stigma has been recognized as a barrier to screening and mental health services in many settings, including schools. The President's New Freedom Commission called for a national campaign to reduce the stigma of seeking mental health care and the delivery of universal preventive interventions, especially in schools (Mills, Stephan, et al., 2006). Stigma has been characterized as public, self, and label avoidance. General approaches to changing stigma include protest, education, and exposure (public) as well as fostering group identity, cognitive rehabilitation, and disclosure for self-stigma and label avoidance (Corrigan and Wassel, 2008). Positive Attitudes Toward Learning in Schools (PALS) is one organized effort to reduce stigma that emphasizes families as partners with schools and the use of community consultants (Atkins, Graczyk, et al., 2003; Atkins, Frazier, et al., 2006). Other approaches have embraced the term "mental health" as a positive concept in their communication with the public in an attempt to avoid stigma.
Several states have adopted antistigma programs, including advertisements (New Mexico) and a Youth Speakers Bureau (Ohio). The magnitude of the impact of stigma and antistigma efforts on prevention programs for MEB disorders remains to be determined. A survey of adult attitudes of children's mental health problems found that among adults able to differentiate depression and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from "daily troubles," a significant percentage rejected the label of mental illness (13 and 19 percent for depression and ADHD, respectively) (Pescosolido, Jensen, et al., 2008). Existing stigma reduction efforts have not been widely supported, probably contributing to the persistence of this barrier. Routine screening for mental, emotional, and behavioral problems may help alleviate concerns about stigma and labeling.

Paul Walker has died. The actor best known for The Fast and the Furious franchise perished this afternoon in a single-car crash and explosion in California.
The accident happened in Santa Clarita, north of L.A. He was 40.
According to TMZ sources, Walker was in a Porsche when the driver somehow lost control and hit a post or tree, causing the car to burst into flames.
Paul and the other person in the car were killed in the blaze.
The star was at a car show to raise money for the Philippines typhoon relief effort, and sources say he was taking a ride in a two-seater Porsche GT.

People in Support of Women in Philosophy is a support group composed of both women and men in the graduate program of the Philosophy department. Our overall goal is the advancement of women and minorities in philosophy through professional development. The group meets weekly to discuss a member's paper with the aim of preparing the work for either conference presentation or publication. As a group, we are committed to maintaining a forum within which women's voices are privileged and rigorous discussion of women's philosophical work can take place. Although Women in Philosophy has its origins in the study of explicitly feminist philosophy, the contemporary focus has shifted to include a range of topics as women philosophers address them. We see this forum as an important alternative given the minority position women continue to occupy within philosophy departments, philosophy classrooms, and other philosophical forums. Women in Philosophy is by no means a replacement for such forums, but rather a critical space reserved for women to develop their philosophical potential outside the standard academic environment.

Thanks and goodbye
Thank you for coming and looking at the Armchair Pollies tumblr. I hope you enjoyed the bits and piece you found here.
The shows were a great success but now they're over and I won't be posting here anymore.
This tumblr will sit in digital purgatory until the end-of-the-digital-world when the tumblrs and sheep will be sorted from the tumblrs about goats.
Vote early. Vote often.
This review of my new show Armchair Pollies is by Australia's most popular conservative columnist, Piers-Andrew Boltbrechtsen.
By Piers-Andrew Boltbrechtsen.
Here are some indisputable facts about Paul Keating: he was responsible for the death of millions of Cambodians in government-run death camps; he spent the First World War dressed as a woman spying for the Germans; he forced Queensland to adopt Sharia Law; he killed all Australia's koalas using a death ray made out of children's eyeballs and he invented homosexuals.
However if you attended the so-called comedy show Armchair Pollies on Friday night you would have not thought Paul Keating responsible for any such atrocities. Indeed the audience – largely made up of sex addicts and bookshop owners – seemed happy to support the notion Paul Keating's notion that all Australian pensioners should be forced into gay marriages.
Compare and contrast the hate-filled, fetid tirades which were the main feature of Armchair Pollies with the wonderful life-affirming humour at the Australian Christian Lobby comedy show I attended last week: 'Laughs Against Fags'.
Host of Armchair Pollies and former ABC 'entertainer' Alan Brough didn't stray far from the I-hate-the-average-Australian-because-they're-not-a-boat-person-or-petrol-sniffer rhetoric of these events for fear of upsetting the mullahs of hate at the ABC who use our taxes to release unflattering talking books about Weary Dunlop and interview women who have waxed their public hair into the shape of Kim Beazley.
Brough had drunk from the poisoned Keep Cup of Labor/Green's policy as had all the other 'comedians' onstage. If you read my column last Sunday entitled 'The Green's Want To Pass A Law Forcing You To Have Oral Intercourse With Adam Bandt' you know that The Greens want to give militant homosexuals the right to come into our houses and stop us eating roast beef. They'll force us to send our children to special schools where they'll be required to take suppositories of heroin and wear lactose-free uniforms. But those facts were conveniently ignored by the imams of scatology who were arrayed to 'entertain' the audience at Armchair Pollies.
Armchair Pollies is billed as a satirical politics quiz.
Armchair Pollies was neither satirical nor a quiz. It seemed, simply, a way for the chattering classes to encourage children to have sex with deceased mallard ducks.
It is no surprise that Melbourne's auditorium of filth the Trades Hall was the venue for this sleaze-a-pollozza. I hoped that the 'performance' would be stopped by police who had every reason in the world to strip search everyone in the place.
But, of course, all those who attended Armchair Pollies to bray along with the communist dogma which passes for comedy at these events are against forced police strip searches.
I didn't die in the war so the police couldn't strip search whoever they like. There was some fuss made recently by the Hezzbollah-backed pornographers at The Age about a 12 year old being strip-searched. Well I say that it is only a small step from stopping 12 year olds being strip searched to Australia becoming an Islamic state where journalists are pecked to death by specially trained ravens. What's wrong with being strip searched at the age of 12? What have 12 year olds got to hide? When I was 12 I had nothing up my bottom that shouldn't have been there. I would have had no problem with being stripped and probed. The Government should pass a law that anyone can be probed at anytime and not be able to complain. The government gives us schools, hospitals and new tool boxes for apprentices so they should be allowed to stick their fingers up our bottoms as they so please. But the modesty mullahs at The Sydney Morning Herald would have you believe that the government doesn't own our bottoms. That someone sticking their fingers up our anuses somehow contravenes 'privacy laws.' Well I say to all those coloured-contact-lens-wearing-bisexual-civil-libertarian-pederasts that when all the terrorists are defeated then the government can stop sticking their fingers in our derrieres. Until that time bend over and let's see your condoms full of hate books.
Overall I found Armchair Pollies relatively enjoyable.
3 ½ stars.
The first ever performance of Armchair Pollies ended with a middle-aged woman body-slamming a young man.
This is how it happened.
7.30pm: The premiere of Armchair Pollies commences.
7.31 pm: In response to the statement, 'Good evening ladies and gentlemen' a drunk middle-aged woman – let's call her Mary - yells, 'Pull my finger!'
7.40 pm: Casey Bennetto explains there is no such thing as climate change because 'sex waft' from couples making sweet, sweet love at midnight has forming a protective layer over the earth.
7.41 pm: Mary yells 'Pull my finger!'
7.43 pm: Meshel Laurie admits that the amount of fluffing her Nana does after a meal of Honey Chicken is significantly adding to global warming.
7.48 pm: Mary yells 'Pull my finger!'
8.15 pm: Interval.
8.35 pm: Michael Williams exhibits a remarkable ability to 'break a question into two parts' and then not answer either of the parts.
8.40 pm: Mary yells 'Pull my finger!'
8.47 pm: Toby Sullivan get confused as to whether Star Wars takes place in the past or the future.
8.48 pm: Mary puts him right by yelling 'Pull my finger.'
9.07 pm: Armchair Pollies concludes.
9.08 pm: Mary celebrates by asking a young man named Tom to pull her finger.
9.09 pm: Tom refuses.
9.10 pm: Mary unfavourably compares Tom to a vagina. Tom suggests that Mary might also be a vagina.
9.11 pm: Mary tries to punch Tom.
9.12 pm: Mary falls over.
9.13 pm: Tom laughs.
9.14 pm: While getting up Mary suggests that Tom is a Liberal-voting vagina.
9.15 pm: Mary pushes Tom to the ground.
9.16 pm: Tom laughs.
9.17 pm: Mary body-slams Tom. An onlooker compares the scene to a cross between the World Wrestling Federation and an Australia Pensioner's Insurance ad.
9.18 pm: While she keeps Tom pinned to the ground Mary suggests Tom's is a vagina which is curious about dogs.
9.19 pm: Tom laughs.
9.20 pm: Mary recommends that Tom accompany her outside.
9.21 pm: Tom continues laughing. Mary goes outside. She invites all other vaginas in the bar to accompany her as well.
9.22 pm: While Mary waits outside for Tom she explains to passers-by that she is not scared of any vagina.
9.30 pm: Tom leaves through the back door.
9.31 pm – now: Mary explains to passers-by she is waiting for a cowardly vagina to come out and face her like a man's vagina.
She's still there. I checked.
Armchair Pollies is on again this Friday 10th August.
Armchair Pollies: come for the hilarious quiz, stay for the old ladies fighting.
Breaking news – there are only 26 tickets left for Friday's show. Up on the right-hand side of this post is a link to book tickets.
Please do book. It beats not booking.
Armchair Pollies is a satirical politics quiz featuring great guests and hosted by Alan Brough.
It's starts on Friday August 3rd in Melbourne.
1. THE BAR: Armchair Pollies is happening in a bar. What better place to go after a long, hard week at work. Hey, how about ordering a rum and coke. I know that the last time you drank rum and coke you were 15 and you spewed on Shirley Dravitzki's bed. Get over it. Shirley has moved to Perth. You'll have to spew pretty hard to hit her bed over there. Just order the rum and coke.
2. THE FACTS: You'll come away from your night at Armchair Pollies armed with a whole bunch of fascinating facts. For instance, did you know that the Federal treasurer Wayne Swan and Paris Hilton share something in common? Neither of them wear underpants to work. Also, you may not know that Mallard ducks are fond of a spot of homosexual necrophilia. I don't think the two things are related.
3. THE GUESTS: Some of Australia's funniest and smartest people are going to be appearing on Armchair Pollies. This Friday you'll see Meshel Laurie – who was on Spicks and Specks and does Drive on NOVA FM – and Casey Bennetto who wrote the musical Keating!
4. THE PRICE: Tickets are only $12. That's less than the price of four cups of coffee. Or exactly the same price as a cup-of-coffee which costs $12. Or twice the price of a $6 cup of coffee. Or less than the price of two tins of really horrible-tasting instant coffee. At the moment you can fly to Europe for less than the price of 127,987 cups of coffee. What a bargain.
5. THE GAMES: Armchair Pollies is a quiz and that means games. My favourite at the moment is SIX DEGREES OF HITLERATION.
SIX DEGREES OF HITLERATION is a bit like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. But with Hitler.
In SIX DEGREES OF HITLERATION I'll give a starting point and you have to get from that starting point to Hitler in just six steps.
Here's an example.
The starting point might be kittens.
So you have to get from kittens to Hitler in just six steps.
1. Kittens.
2. Balls of wool.
3. Warm jumpers.
4. Skiing.
5. Winter invasion of Russia.
6. Hitler.
It's great fun. You should try it.
Here are some potential starting points. Get from one of these to Hitler in six steps.
• Your boss.
• Your boyfriend.
• The Olympics. (Actually that's too easy because Hitler held an Olympics so you don't need six steps just two. 1. The Olympics. 2. Hitler. Not much of a challenge really.)
• Chocolate.
• Elmo. (Not as hard as you might, at first, think.)
Armchair Pollies is on at Bella Union in Melbourne Fridays in August.

There is a state by-election on Saturday 21st July in the Victorian seat of Melbourne which has turned into a rancourous battle between the Labor Party and The Greens.
However Daniel Andrews – the leader of the Victorian Labor Party – appears to have other things on his mind.
The following is correspondence between Mr Andrews and Lana Dear from the San Palazzo Function Centre in Melbourne.
From: Lana Dear
Subject: Andrews' Family Function on 21st July
Date: 3rd July 2012
To: Daniel Andrews
Dear Mr Andrews,
I am writing to inform you that, due to a clerical error, we have double-booked your upcoming family function with that of the Green family.
From: Daniel Andrews
Subject: Re: Andrews' Family Function on 21st July
Date: 3rd July 2012
To: Lana Dear
Dear Lana,
I'm sure my family and the Green family can come to an understanding.
However, as you know, I have a rather large clan – many of whom are coming in from the suburbs - whereas I believe the Greens are rather small. Could they, perhaps, have their function somewhere else?
From: Daniel Andrews
Subject: Re: Re: Re: Andrews' Family Function on 21st July
Date: 5th July 2012
To: Lana Dear
Dear Lana,
I am rather distressed to hear that the Green family won't compromise and change the location of their function. As you know, my family has already changed venue a number of times.
We will not change venue again.
From: Daniel Andrews
Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Andrews' Family Function on 21st July
Date: 9th July 2012
To: Lana Dear
Dear Lana,
A cousin of mine from NSW knows the Greens and says they have some very strange ideas about parties. He tells me they actually encourage gate-crashers.
One of my uncles – who is coming in from out-of-town - has expressed great unease about this. He feels we should be able to decide who comes to our party.
I imagine you feel similarly.
From: Daniel Andrews
Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Andrews' Family Function on 21st July
Date: 15th July 2012
To: Lana Dear
Dear Lana,
The Greens have put me in a very difficult position.
The whole NSW branch of my family are refusing to come if we have to share with the Greens and, therefore, I must insist we have our function by ourselves.
Sometimes you simply must put Family First.
As mentioned we will not consider changing venue.
From: Daniel Andrews
Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Andrews' Family Function on 21st July
Date: 16th July 2012
To: Lana Dear
Dear Lana,
After consultation with the NSW wing of the family we have decided to change venue.
The Baillieu family are having a function this Saturday and have promised to find room for us.
Perhaps you consider whether your loyalty to the Green family is harming your business.
From: Daniel Andrews
Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Andrews' Family Function on 21st July
Date: 21th July 2012
To: Lana Dear
Dear Lana,
I was interested to hear the Green family will be bringing a great deal more guests than first expected. For your sake I hope they behave themselves.
It seems our gathering is going to be much smaller than we had hoped as many of the family have decided not to come because of the constant change of venue.
Daniel Andrews
Leader - Victorian ALP
PS. I fully support Julia Gillard as Prime Minister.
I hate The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations
When I was 11 I wanted to be a politician.
I knew three things about politicians (two of which were garnered from meeting the local MP): They wore tweed jackets with leather elbow patches; they drank lots of sherry; the really famous ones had quotes in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.
(The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations was first published in 1941and contains over 20,000 quotations from 3,500 authors. It claims to include 'quotations for all occasions.' I haven't been involved in 'all occasions' so I cannot vouchsafe the validity of that claim.)
I didn't have a tweed jacket, I didn't like sherry (Tried it with my cousin – not a success) so there was only one option open to me. The next day I wrote my first letter to The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.
Dear The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations,
First up let me say that your book is awesome. Who knew people said so many quotes. But really, great work everyone. It's the best Dictionary of Quotations by some considerable length as far as I am concerned.
Therein lies my problem. You have made such a great book it is a pity you have ruined it by stealing one of my sayings – or quotes if you will – and saying that famous politician Karl Marx said it.
The quote I am referring to is, of course, 'The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.'
Everyone knows I said that.
A rat died in the art room at school and we couldn't find it so we had to move everything out of that classroom and it was hard work or a struggle if you like. When I was lifting a heavy box of paints that's when I said it. I couldn't write it down because I was lifting a heavy box of paints. But my best friend Sean heard me say it.
If you could change that quote to say that I said it that'd be great. I am about to embark on a career in politics and would like people to know that I can say cool stuff.
Apart from that I love your book.
Alan Brough
They never replied.
However a famous politician-in-training doesn't give up.
Dear The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations,
You have quoted me again and not said it was me.
The quote I am referring to is 'Black is beautiful.' You say those famous politicians the Black Panthers said it but it was actually me.
My best friend Sean and I were outside one night and it was really dark and I said it. I couldn't write it down because it was too dark. But my best friend Sean heard me say it.
Please set this right as I am running for class president and am well ahead as I am the only one with any famous quotes.
No reply to that one either.
I did write one more letter.
Dear The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations,
Me again. Just wanted to say that the new edition of The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations is the best yet apart from one small error which I feel it behoves me to put you right on.
You say that the famous politician Winston Churchill said, 'We shall fight on the beaches…' when it was actually me.
Any The Dictionary of Quotations can make a mistake but I did say it. My best friend Sean was going off to the beach to have a fight and I said it then.
I couldn't write it down because I was on the beach and there was a fight going on but my best friend Sean heard me say it.
(I don't know who said that other stuff about fighting on landing grounds, fields, streets and hills because Sean didn't fight on any of those places. He was knocked out at the beach and we had to take him to the hospital.)
Love is all you need. (That's one of mine too.)
Alan Brough
I'm still waiting for a reply.
I mean, how many roads must a man walk down? (That's another one of mine in case you're interested.)

Prostitute Uses Union Credit Card To Hire Politician
Shamefully this important story hasn't been covered by the mainstream media.
(The below article in reprinted, in full, from IAreAReliableSource.org.)
A high-ranking official from the Australian Prostitute's Union (APU) has been accused of using her union credit card to hire politicians.
APU General Secretary Cherri La Breasts has been stood down until further notice after damming allegations against her appeared on prostitute whistle-blower website GetYourWhistleBlownHere.ru.
The accusations implicate not only Miss La Breasts but also the APU State Treasurer Miss Flo Jobs and Federal Chairwoman Miss Cheeky McBuns.
Reports suggest that La Breasts, Jobs and McBuns were drinking at a bar, regularly frequented by politicians, when La Breasts fell into a conversation with two Federal MPs who witnesses say were sitting at a prominently placed table openly reading a white paper on defence materiel acquisitions.
Miss La Breasts was seen enjoyed several drinks with the politicians before they supposedly suggested moving back to their hotel for some 'personal lobbying'.
Bar staff say the politicians and Miss La Breasts departed quickly leaving behind them several broken promises and a half-finished discussion paper.
Apparently Miss La Breasts continued to meet the politicians over several months eventually finding herself involved in a by-election.
Miss La Breasts has released a statement insisting she did nothing wrong and that the last time she looked 'being a politician was still legal in this country.' (NB: Due to the non-removal of an old statute being a politician is still technically illegal in all States and Territories.)
In the statement she accuses unnamed members of a rival union the Australian Council of Sluts (ACS) of being behind the 'baseless accusations.' She insists the $89,000 she withdrew from ATMs using her APU credit card was not for politicians but for lube. She further states that on 4 out of 5 occasions she was supposedly with the politicians she was, actually, having anal sex with a well-hung stud.
Recently a group of Miss La Breasts' regular clients signed a letter – published in the prostitute's trade newspaper Open Wide – stating Miss La Breasts was 'a top root.'
The APU have launched an investigation which is expected to report back in three weeks.

GERD and Acid Reflux in Infants and Children
What Are the Treatments for Acid Reflux in Infants and Children?
There are a variety of lifestyle measures you can try for acid reflux in your child:
For infants:
- Elevating the head of the baby's crib or bassinet
- Holding the baby upright for 30 minutes after a feeding
- Thickening bottle feedings with cereal (do not do this without a doctor's supervision)
- Changing feeding schedules
- Trying solid food (with your doctor's approval)
For older children:
- Elevating the head of the child's bed
- Keeping the child upright for at least two hours after eating
- Serving several small meals throughout the day, rather than three large meals
- Limiting foods and beverages that seem to worsen your child's reflux
- Encouraging your child to get regular exercise
If the reflux is severe or doesn't get better, your doctor may recommend drugs to treat it.
Drugs to Lessen Gas
- Mylicon
- Gaviscon
Drugs to Neutralize or Decrease Stomach Acid
- Antacids such as Mylanta and Maalox
- Histamine-2 (H2) blockers such as Axid, Pepcid, Tagamet, or Zantac
- Proton-pump inhibitors such as Nexium, Prilosec, Prevacid, Aciphex, and Protonix
Researchers aren't sure whether decreasing stomach acid lessens reflux in infants.
For the most part, drugs that decrease intestinal gas or neutralize stomach acid (antacids) are very safe. At high doses, antacids can cause some side effects, such as diarrhea. Chronic use of very high doses of Maalox or Mylanta may be associated with an increased risk of rickets (thinning of the bones) or vitamin B12 deficiency.
Side effects from medications that inhibit the production of stomach acid are quite uncommon. A small number of children may develop some sleepiness when they take Zantac, Pepcid, Axid, or Tagamet.
Drugs to Improve Intestinal Coordination
- Propulsid. This drug was voluntarily withdrawn from the U.S. market in 2000; however, it is still available with very limited access. The drug works by increasing the pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter and increasing emptying of the stomach and the rate that food moves through the intestines. This helps reduce esophageal exposure to stomach contents. The drug is very effective for treating childhood reflux. However, the drug is associated with abnormal heart rhythms.
- Reglan. This is another medication that helps speed up the digestion process. However, it is also associated with many side effects, some of which can be serious.
- Erythromycin. This is an antibiotic usually used to treat bacterial infections. One common side effect of erythromycin is that it causes strong stomach contractions. This side effect is advantageous when the drug is used to treat reflux.
Surgery for Reflux in Children
Surgery isn't often needed to treat reflux in children. When it is necessary, the Nissen fundoplication is the most often performed surgery. During this procedure, the top part of the stomach is wrapped around the esophagus forming a cuff that contracts and closes off the esophagus whenever the stomach contracts -- preventing reflux.
The procedure is usually effective, but it is not without risk. Discuss the potential risks and benefits of this operation with your child's doctor.

Any Michiganders out there? This week our senior manager of social media, Rachel, is leaving for her wedding in Charlevoix, Michigan! (Note: longtime Birchbox fans have probably been anticipating this day since October when her engagement bling started popping up all over our Instagram feed.)
Before Rachel left Manhattan for her two week stint in the Midwest we made her spill the beans about which products made the cut for her big trip. Here's what she's taking with her, and why:
It's common knowledge that all great relationships are founded on three things: trust, love, and colorful socks. At Birchbox we've taken this to heart and are now selling RicherPoorer socks in our women's shop! A longtime favorite of Birchbox Man, we thought it was high time we ladies got in on the fun. Check out our Instagram feed to see Birchbox staffers, plus their families and friends, modeling both the men's and women's socks. Then, leave a comment on the photo of your favorite sock combo for a chance to win two pair!
P.S. Totally forgot about Valentines day? RicherPoorer socks could make a very comfy and colorful "Forgive Me" gift.

As a child, psychology professor Carrie Saetermoe watched tanks roll down the streets of Detroit. The sight of war machines in ordinary neighborhoods was shocking, but for Saetermoe, the lasting mental imprint came from the conditions that led to the spectacle.
"The street riots represented frustration with poverty," she said. "After years of reading and thinking, I concluded that the most significant conduit for social change might be collegečhelping young people identify and realize their dreams through education."
Northridge's Faculty Mentor Program in November acknowledged Saetermoe's dedication, naming her winner of the university's 2002ą2003 Don Dorsey Excellence in Mentoring Award.
The annual award recognizes exceptional faculty mentors who take a personal as well as an academic approach to mentoring, and who support the university's commitment to the success of students who represent diverse backgrounds and communities. Established in 1998, it is named after Donald Dorsey, the professor of educational psychology and counseling who helped develop Northridge's first mentor training program.
Representative of Saetermoe's mentoring work is Life Chances for L.A. Youth, a program that targets Latino youth because, Saetermoe says, they are at greatest educational risk, and Los Angeles' many ethnically homogeneous schools offer a natural "laboratory" for her work.
In the program, more than 45 Northridge students mentor roughly 70 high schoolers, primarily from Monroe High School. Together with their families, the youngsters regularly visit the university for education and support. In turn, mentors pay weekly visits to Monroe for talks with students in detention about goals, study habits and issues that influence academic achievement. A major tutoring component is being added, Saetermoe said.
"Our awards selection committee was impressed by the breadth and depth of Professor Saetermoe's mentoring contributions to CSUN," said Glenn Omatsu, Faculty Mentor Program coordinator. "We were especially moved by the nomination letters written by her current students."
"It has always been my dream to generate social change by training scholars," Saetermoe said. "Now that some of my students are professors, I can see how mentoring can spread as they, themselves, mentor students."
The Faculty Mentor Program, whose Web site is www.csun.edu/eop/htdocs/ fmp.html, provides mentoring services, training and resources for Northridge faculty, staff and students.

Comments Thread For: Dmitry Kirillov Plans Comeback, Eyes Final Title Run
BoxRec lists a tiny show being pre-planned for May 16 in at Casino Conti in St. Petersburg, Russia, under the aegis of Germany-based Ukrainian expatriate Sergey Mitchnik. Even though an only eight-rounder is tentatively scheduled (Russian welterweight champion David Avanesyan (13-1-1, 6 KOs) will be a headliner), there are two former champions penciled for six-round tune-up fights.

Need bubbly inspiration? Look no further: an easy infographic of champagne cocktail recipes
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Everyone expects a flute of something sparkling on New Year's Eve, but fewer may expect a champagne cocktail to ring in the New Year. Fortunately, we're bubbling over with new ways to mix champagne into your cocktail routine.
Of course, not everyone approves of champagne cocktails, as cocktail historian David Wondrich notes in Esquire. He quotes David Embury, whom he calls "the dean of postwar mixologists": "From every point of view, other than cost, this cocktail is a decidedly inferior drink, and no true champagne lover would ever commit the sacrilege of polluting a real vintage champagne by dunking even plain sugar — much less bitters — in it. So if you must...serve this incongruous mess ... in the name of all that a true lover of the grape holds sacred, use a cheap domestic champagne or even an artificially carbonated white wine." Ouch, no holiday spirit?
If you do decide to serve something bubbly, Embury has a point: now's not the time to splurge on a champagne or sparkling wine that will quickly be masked by other ingredients. Think about using seasonal fruit in a cocktail, as champagne is a versatile base "spirit" that shows off the right flavors. An easy, rule-of-thumb cocktail? Muddle fruit, such as fresh berries, add about one tablespoon of it to a champagne flute, and top it off with bubbly.
Fortunately, our frends at Loku have made mixing up New Year's cocktails even easier. Check out the infographic to learn how to make any champagne cocktail you can think of.

Arrange on nonstick baking sheet.
Bake until chicken is cooked through, 20-25 minutes.
Shrimp Scampi
4 tsp olive oil
1 1/4 pounds med shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails left on)
6-8 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup + 1 T minced parsley
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
4 lemon wedges
1.In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Sautee the shrimp until just pink, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. With a slotted spoon transfer the shrimp to a platter and keep them warm.
2.In the skillet, combine the broth, wine, lemon juice, 1/4 cup of the parsley, the salt and pepper; and bring it to a boil. Boil uncovered, until the sauce is reduced by half.
3.Spoon the sauce over the shrimp. Serve garnished with the lemon wedges and sprinkled with the remaining tablespoon of parsley.
4.Makes 4 servings
Egg Muffins
•100% whole wheat English muffins
• whole eggs -- you can use Egg Beaters or all egg whites, if you prefer
•sliced cheese -- I used regular cheddar cheese that comes in ultra-thin slices, only 45 calories per slice; you can also use reduced-fat cheese, but it doesn't melt as well. McDonalds uses American cheese, if you're looking for a more authentic taste.
•Canadian bacon slices
•Cooked turkey sausage patties -- you can purchase reduced fat or turkey sausage, but it's surprisingly easy to make your own.
I recommend using either jumbo muffin tins or ramekins for baking multiple eggs at one time. I'd seen the idea for using muffin tins for baking eggs from several sources on Pinterest. Great idea! However, I found that regular muffin tins are too small for shaping the eggs to fit the English muffins. Jumbo muffin tins worked better. 7-oz. ramekins worked the best; they're closest to diameter of English muffins. Both are available on Amazon.
Step 2. Spray the ramekins or jumbo muffin tins with cooking spray and add an egg to each one. (Or, add the equivalent amount of Egg Beaters or egg whites.) If using ramekins, put them on a baking sheet to make it easier to get them in and out of the oven.
Step 3. Add freshly ground black pepper to your liking. I like a lot of pepper, can you tell??? I don't think additional salt is necessary, since the cheese and meats are already salted. This helps lower the sodium amount in these healthier McMuffins.
Step 4. Bake eggs at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until set. Although I normally like my egg yolks a little runny, I cooked these completely since I'd be freezing them. That's the way McDonald's makes them, too.
The baked eggs are easy to lift out with a small spatula. If they're stuck around the edges, loosen them gently with a thin knife.
Before they cook the eggs for McMuffins, they use a spatula to break the egg yolk so it flattens and spreads some in the egg white-
Ranch Roasted Red Potatoes Recipe
•12 oz red potatoes, washed and quartered
•1 packet Ranch Dressing Dry Mix
•Non fat, olive oil cooking spray
•1 tsp salt
1.Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2.In a large bowl add potatoes and spray lightly with the cooking spray. Then, add in the Ranch mix and salt, and toss well to coat each potato piece evenly.
3.Spray a baking sheet with non stick cooking spray and spread out potatoes evenly on sheet.
4.Bake in oven until potatoes are cooked through, and edges start to turn very dark brown, approximately 20-25 minutes. Serve immediately.
Baked Chicken Parmesan
4 (8 oz) chicken breast halves, sliced in half to make 8
3/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (I used whole wheat)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp butter, melted (or olive oil)
3/4 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese (I used Polly-o)
1 cup marinara or Filetto di Pomodoro
cooking spray
Preheat oven to 450°. Spray a large baking sheet lightly with spray.
Combine breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese in a bowl. Melt the butter in another bowl. Lightly brush the butter onto the chicken, then dip into breadcrumb mixture. Place on baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken.
Lightly spray a little more oil on top and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Turn chicken over, bake another 5 minutes.
Remove from oven, spoon 1 tbsp sauce over each piece of chicken and top each with 1 1/2 tbsp of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
Turkey Wrap
1 Flatout Wrap (I used the multi-grain with flax)
2 ounce of smoked turkey (I used Plainville)
1/2 slice sharp american cheese
2 slices cooked bacon** (I use Applegate farms)
1 tablespoon Ranch yogurt dressing (I use Wegman's brand)
2 tomato slices
Romaine lettuce (you could also use baby spinach)
Step 1. Spread ranch dressing over the center of wrap. Add turkey, cheese, bacon, tomato, and romaine.
Step 2. Fold sides in and then roll up.
**Bacon can be cooked in skillet, oven, or microwave.
taco casserole
■24 Tortilla Chips, plus additional for serving
■1 Tbs Chili Oil (or olive oil and red pepper flakes)
■1 Onion, chopped
■2 cloves Garlic, minced
■1 pound Ground Chicken
■2 Tbs Taco Seasoning
■1 can Black Beans, drained
■1 cup Salsa
■1 cup shredded fat free or reduced fat Cheese
■Optional: Other toppings such as jalepenios, olives, etc.
Heat oven to 350.
Heat oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and garlic and sautee until soft. Add meat and taco seasoning. Cook, breaking up meat with a spatula, for about 5 minutes. Add beans and salsa. Mix well and continue to cook until salsa thickens.
Line the bottom of a large baking dish with tortilla chips, pressing down on them lightly to break them into bite-sized pieces. Spread the meat and bean mixture over the chips and top with cheese. Add sliced jalepenos or other toppings that you ant to be cooked. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and gooey.
Garlic baked Chicken
For the marinade, combine ingredients in a ziplock bag:
•1 egg, beaten
•1/2 cup of milk
•1 Tbs of lemon juice
•1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
Let marinate for a few hours.
1.1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2.1 package Good Seasons Italian Dressing mix
3.1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4.6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2.Mix cheese, dressing mix and garlic powder.
3.Remove chicken from marinade and coat with dry mixture. Place in shallow baking dish.
4.Bake 20 to 25 min. or until chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Oven Baked Tater Tots
6 Russet Potatoes, peeled and diced
1/4 cup milk
1 cup flour
2-3 eggs, beaten
2 cups crushed Pop Chips
Preheat oven to 400˚F.
Boil potatoes in a large pot until barely fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and return to pot.
Gradually add the milk and mash the potatoes with a potato masher until mashed, but still lumpy. You might not need to use up all the milk. It is important to keep the potatoes lumpy and a little dry so it is not so messy to roll into balls.
Separate the eggs, flour and potato chips in three bowls; set aside.
Form the potato mixture into 1-inch balls and place on wax or parchment paper. Roll each ball first into the bowl of flour, then the egg and finishing with the chips. Once coated, form the balls into the tots formation. Place on baking sheet.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until crispy and golden brown.
Under 100 calorie snacks
*1/2 Cup Slow-Churned Ice Cream
*Mini Quesadilla
You may not expect cheese quesadillas to make a list of low-calorie snacks, but try this recipe: sprinkle an ounce of grated low-fat cheddar cheese over a corn tortilla. Fold in half and microwave for 20 seconds. This quick and tasty snack has only 100 calories and 1.3 g of saturated fat.
*Choosing whole-grain crackers is the key to this classic snack. The fiber will keep you feeling full between meals, and the cheese provides protein and calcium. To stay under 100 calories, cut up one slice of low-fat cheese and split it over three crackers.
*Six Whole-Grain Pretzel Sticks
*whole-grain pita pocket and stuff it with 1/2 ounce part-skim ricotta cheese.
*spreading two tablespoons of nonfat frozen yogurt between two graham cracker squares. Even with chocolate frozen yogurt, you're only looking at 84 calories.
*Slice several peeled bananas in half and insert popsicle sticks. Coat each half with an ounce of low-fat plain yogurt. Put the pops in the freezer, and soon you'll have ready-to-eat low-calorie treats. At just under 80 calories a pop, this is a snack you can feel good about.

text: The Theatre June 2, 2014 Issue Cruising Edgar Oliver's park stories. By Hilton Als Table of Contents Edgar Oliver's one-man show, "In the Park," is a love story about moments. Credit Photograph by Alice O'Malley. I'm afraid it was the limited, prejudiced part of my nature that prevented me from acknowledging, before now, the writer and performer Edgar Oliver and his emotionally grand work. Although Oliver and I are both gay and share similar interests—he has been a ubiquitous presence on New York's downtown theatre scene for almost thirty years—I tended to dismiss his earlier performances as affected and self-conscious, camp that built on camp. But his current monologue, "In the Park" (respectfully directed by Randy Sharp, at the Axis), is so beautiful—so enthralling in its undisguised but never tedious self-absorption, in its command of the spoken word, and in its demand for love—that to remain unmoved by it, or to dismiss it as fairy folderol, begs the question: Why? My list of grievances against Oliver as an artist was long. First, there was his voice, that stately and sonorous bass that made him sound like a mannered stage actor in an early talking picture, enunciating so carefully you just wanted the words to stop. Then there was his cultivated look—the russet-colored hair and the enormous flashing eyes that brought to mind that perverse fantasist Daddy Carroll, from Gus Van Sant's 1991 film, "My Own Private Idaho," or Cecil Beaton's portraits of the British aesthete Stephen Tennant, who spent much of the latter part of his life in bed, for no reason other than that he preferred it. I didn't want Oliver, with his precious affect and his Ronald Firbank airs, to matter in my seemingly tougher, more "real" gay world. But soon after Oliver, dressed all in black, unceremoniously took the stage in the Axis's low-ceilinged performance space and looked out at the audience with a tender expression, my smugness began to shift. Oliver was so clearly used to being confronted with intolerance like mine, and yet he was able to keep moving bravely, expansively forward. Still, he confesses, at the start of his hour-long piece, "I am a hesitant man. It seems to me that I have spent my life half lost in some rapturous dream I dreamt as a child, from which I have never awakened. Perhaps I don't want to wake up. If I woke—I would find that I have failed to live." As he goes on, Oliver slowly makes his audience understand that theatre, once stripped of its standard smoke and mirrors, is a storytelling medium, wonderfully reducible to two or three essentials: actor and text and that unidentifiable something which visionaries such as Artaud call magic. Oliver, who is fifty-seven, stands at the front of the stage and addresses the audience directly. After a while, the lights behind him, delicately designed by David Zeffren, dim and then come up again—and do so throughout the piece, whenever he pauses between anecdotes or thoughts. (Paul Carbonara's musical interludes punctuate the monologue as well.) There are no props, no lamppost or bench to help us visualize what Oliver describes: the days and occasional nights that he spends in Brooklyn's Prospect Park, which he loves, especially the areas that are largely unexplored by others. In the verdant, run-down spaces he seeks out, he finds a refuge where he can write the story that he's telling us now. (Oliver's bohemianism—that is, his ability to make do with little, and then make more—is entirely genuine.) Oliver fills the stage with gestures: with one hand, he draws a chair or a patch of grass or a person, and the atmosphere that he creates with his astonishing sentences is an extension of his body—which is integral to the story of his isolation. As a boy growing up in Savannah, Georgia, Oliver would go to Maryland in the summers, to visit his grandmother, with his sister and his eccentric mother. (He never mentions his father.) In Baltimore, Oliver was entranced by a statue in a fountain. He explains: At its center sprouts a thicket of bronze bulrushes. Amidst the bulrushes a naked boy of bronze laughs and dances on a turtle's back. He seems in the midst of leaping. . . . I loved this statue. The music of the fountain's waters was for me the music of the rain. I loved rain above all things. It was as though this naked dancing boy lived in a world of eternal rain. In Savannah, when it rained . . . I felt myself go wandering through in the rain—as though I were some other boy—some wild boy out there wandering. Oliver identifies not with other people but with objects, like that fountain, like the water. Human beings are a danger. From a bridge in Prospect Park, he notices some "black boys on bicycles." He stands, "frozen with terror, thinking, They are going to kill me." He feels himself "so murderable there among the woods—on the black side of the park—so murderable by teen-aged black boys on bicycles. How could they resist murdering me?" With this, the piece takes an enormous leap into autobiographical brilliance. Oliver's panic about his difference from those boys is a way of being proud of it, too; imagining his imminent victimhood allows him to star in the drama of being, on a stage constructed by those living, flesh-and-blood boys. But Oliver doesn't, like Jean Genet, equate violence or degradation with eroticism. There's no real system to his revelations. As a performer, he is as vulnerable to his audience as we are to him. (The night I saw the show, the audience collectively held its breath when Oliver brought up those "black boys" and his terror of them. We didn't know where he was going with the story. Or, more specifically, we didn't want him to go to the predictable place. And he didn't. He even preëmpted our response by admitting, "It seems strange to me now that I could have been so convinced those boys were going to kill me. They were just teen-aged boys on bicycles playing in the park.") As the evening continues, it becomes increasingly clear that "In the Park" is a love story about moments and sensations: Oliver rhapsodizes about rain and darkness and the sun and the soul music that he hears at a McDonald's where he sometimes goes to write. He ends his meditation with a scene of shared human emotion. One evening, as he is leaving the park, where he was "trying to write something about the end of summer—trying to write, well . . . this," a young black man asks, as he passes, "Were there many pretty boys?" The young man, who is called Durrance, then stops to make a suggestion: "Let's go somewhere and make love. Then I can get some money. You see—I say what I mean. And when I see something I like I say it." Oliver tells us, "I felt flattered—because he had said when he looked at me he saw something he liked. Also I felt deeply flustered and troubled by desire." Desire is an emotion that no artist can control—until it fades and its vapors become part of the story. Oliver doesn't gloss over his excitement at Durrance's proposition. He has felt invisible for much of his life, an invisibility that he relished: it freed him to feel more like an element—like the rain he loves, like the night that is his friend—than like a person, something he understands less than he understands statues. But now, in the park, he has been noticed, as a man. At one point in his 2008 monologue "East 10th Street: Self-Portrait with Empty House," Oliver tells of his love for a boy named Jason. One night, they get drunk and quarrel. Then comes this extraordinary—and extraordinarily described—moment: Suddenly I jolted awake on the bed. It was broad daylight. . . . I looked around in a panic for Jason, and, thank God, there he was lying on the bed beside me, curled up with his back to me, sleeping. I had to talk to him. I reached over and took him by the shoulder to shake him, to wake him. But his shoulder came off in my hand. His entire arm came away. In horror, I dropped it. I grabbed at his back, but his whole back disintegrated at my touch. I began clawing for him—clawing at the bedclothes—but piece by piece Jason came apart in my hands—unravelled and disappeared into thin air until I was down to the bare mattress. . . . What I had thought was Jason was just a pile of bedclothes. For gay men of Oliver's generation—gay men who survived AIDS—romanticism, and not sex, became the dominant mode: dreaming about a man wouldn't kill you. And yet there was still the need to connect physically; we are all bodies. Oliver is constantly clawing his way through absence to get to something that he doesn't immediately recognize: that satisfying moment when heartbeat meets heartbeat. He doesn't take Durrance up on his offer, but both men are changed by the conversation. Durrance kisses Oliver, then wanders off into the post-twilight rain, leaving Oliver, ever the artist, to give shape to this shared experience of love in another shadow world—the theatre. ♦ Hilton Als became a staff writer at The New Yorker in October, 1994, and a theatre critic in 2002.

Normal Range - Normal
Systolic (top) blood pressure below 120 mm Hg
Diastolic (bottom) blood pressure below 80 mm Hg
You fall within the very high range, due to your diastolic (bottom) blood pressure number being above 100 mm Hg. Consult your MD immediately for treatment options.
A typical adult heart rate is between 60-100 beats per minute. You're heart rate of 92 falls within this range.

Natural Ways to Lower Blood Pressure
What lisa is forgetting to mention here is that your Average BP during a 24 hour period
should fall within those ranges for you to be categorized in any one of them. Taking
your BP once and believing that you belong to one of those categories is a very wrong assumption.
if you meant this is your average, then yes. time to see a doc
Yes, you are prehypertensive. SBP (systolic)of 120-139 mmHg or DBP (diastolic)80 to 89 mmHg in considered to be prehypertensive. Stage 1. hypertension is SBP 140-159 mmHg, or DBP of 90-99 mmHg, or both. Stage 2. This includes those with SBP higher than or equal to 160 mmHg, or DBP higher than or equal to 100 mmHg, or both. The higher your BP is more you put yourself at risk for heart disease, heart attack, stroke, heart failure, or kidney disease. Additional risk factors are: lack of excercise, tobacco or cigarette smoking,having hypertension, family history of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and having high BMI.
