Prior to submission, please carefully read and follow the submission guidelines detailed below. Manuscripts that do not conform to the submission guidelines may be returned without review.
Neuropsychology® is now using a software system to screen submitted content for similarity with other published content. The system compares each submitted manuscript against a database of 25+ million scholarly publications, as well as content appearing on the open web.
This allows APA to check submissions for potential overlap with material previously published in scholarly journals (e.g., lifted or republished material). A similarity report will be generated by the system and provided to the Neuropsychology Editorial office for review immediately upon submission.
Starting in 2012, the completion of the Author(s) Agreement Checklist (PDF, 40KB) that signifies that authors have read this material and agree to adhere to the guidelines is now required. For new submissions, please be sure to include the submission checklist on the first page of your manuscript. Revisions do not need the checklist.
All new and revised manuscripts must be submitted electronically in Rich Text Format (.rtf) or Microsoft Word Format (.doc) via the Manuscript Submission Portal. Portable Document Format (.pdf) is not an acceptable submission format.
The file must exactly copy, in all respects and in a single file, the complete APA-style printed version of the manuscript.
Authors with questions concerning manuscript submission should address these directly to the Neuropsychology Editorial Office.
In addition to addresses and phone numbers, please supply email addresses and fax numbers, if available, for potential use by the Editorial Office and later by the Production Office.
Keep a copy of the manuscript to guard against loss.
Neuropsychology is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed journal that typically publishes original research as full-length regular articles. A detailed description of the editorial coverage policy appears on the inside of the front cover of each issue.
Other article formats — such as brief reports, meta-analyses, theoretical reviews, and case studies — will also be considered for publication.
Brief Reports
Manuscripts submitted as brief reports should not exceed 3,400 words, exclusive of references and figure captions. There should be no more than two figures or tables and no more than 30 references.
Meta-Analyses and Theoretical Reviews
Manuscripts that present or discuss theoretical formulations of neuropsychology related topics, or that evaluate competing theoretical perspectives on the basis of published data, may also be accepted. Comprehensive reviews of the empirical literature in an area of study are acceptable if they contain a meta-analysis and/or present novel theoretical or methodological perspectives. Please see the journal's Policy on Meta-Analyses (PDF, 14KB).
Case Studies
Case studies will be considered if they raise or illustrate important questions that go beyond the single case and have heuristic value.
The official language of APA journals is English. Neuropsychology frequently publishes manuscripts submitted by authors from non-English speaking countries. It is strongly recommended that authors not fluent in English have their manuscript edited for English usage prior to submission. If this is not possible, a notation to this effect should be included in the cover letter to the editor.
Although time constraints prevent the editor and associate editors from assisting authors with their written English, several organizations have extended offers to the journal to provide this service for authors; contact the editor for more information.
Abstract and Keywords
Starting in 2010, all manuscripts published in Neuropsychology will include a structured abstract of up to 250 words. The Abstract, presented in paragraph form, should be typed on a separate page (page 2 of the manuscript), and must include each of the following sections:
- Objective: A brief statement of the purpose of the study
- Method: A detailed summary of the participants as well as descriptions of the study design, measures, and procedures
- Results: A detailed summary of the primary findings that include effect sizes or confidence intervals with significance testing
- Conclusions: A summary of the research and implications of the findings
After the abstract, please supply three to five keywords.
Abbreviations and Metrics
Nonstandard abbreviations should be introduced by placing the abbreviation in parentheses after the first occurrence of the term being abbreviated in both the abstract and the text. The metric system should be followed for all volumes, lengths, weights, and so on. Temperatures should be expressed in degrees Celsius (centigrade). Units should conform to the International System of Units (SI; see the Publication Manual).
Statistical Considerations
Whenever appropriate, statistical analyses should include effect sizes and confidence intervals and figures should include error bars. Authors are strongly encouraged to read the APA guidelines for statistical methods and reporting, L. Wilkinson and the Task Force on Statistical Inference, 1999, "Statistical Methods in Psychology Journals: Guidelines and Explanations," American Psychologist, 54, 594–604 (PDF, 1171KB).
Randomized Clinical Trials: Use of CONSORT Reporting Standards
Neuropsychology requires the use of the CONSORT reporting standards (i.e., a checklist and flow diagram) for any study identified as a randomized clinical trial, consistent with the policy established by the Publications and Communications Board of the American Psychological Association. CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) offers a standard way to improve the quality of such reports and to ensure that readers have the information necessary to evaluate the quality of a clinical trial.
Manuscripts that are identified/classified as randomized clinical trials are required to include a flow diagram of the progress through the phases of the trial and a checklist that identifies where in the manuscript the various criteria are addressed. (The checklist should be placed in an Appendix of the manuscript for review purposes.) When a study is not fully consistent with the CONSORT statement, the limitations should be acknowledged and discussed in the text of the manuscript.
For follow-up studies of previously published clinical trials, authors should submit a flow diagram of the progress through the phases of the trial and follow-up. The above checklist information should be completed to the extent possible, especially for the Results and Discussion sections of the manuscript.
Visit the CONSORT Statement Web site for more details and resources.
Each table should be submitted with the manuscript file. Each should start on a separate page and must be numbered and labeled with an appropriate title. All tables must be self-explanatory.
Masked Review
Masked reviews are required.
Each copy of a manuscript should include a separate title page with authors' names and affiliations, and these should not appear anywhere else on the manuscript. Footnotes that identify the authors should be typed on a separate page.
It is the authors' responsibility to see that the manuscript itself contains no clues to their identities.
Please ensure that the final version of your manuscript for production includes a byline and full author note for typesetting.
Submission Letter
Include the following in your submission letter:
- a statement of compliance with APA ethical standards
- a statement that the manuscript or data have not been published previously and that they are not under consideration for publication elsewhere
- a statement to reflect that all listed authors have contributed significantly to the manuscript and consent to their names on the manuscript
- a brief statement of how the article content is relevant to the domain of Neuropsychology as described in the journal inside cover
Failure to include any of the requirements above may result in a delay of the review process. On an optional basis, authors may provide the names and email addresses of up to three qualified potential reviewers for the manuscript.
Manuscript Acceptance
Upon acceptance of their manuscript for publication, authors are expected to provide permissions, signed and dated copyright release and disclosure of interest forms, and a statement of compliance with APA ethical standards.
All proofs must be corrected and returned within 48 hours of receipt. Any extensive nonessential changes and extensive changes due to author error may incur charges.
With the proofs will be a form providing the author with the opportunity to order reprints. Direct inquiries to the APA Journals Office can be made at 202-336-5540; fax 202-336-5549.
Manuscript Preparation
Prepare manuscripts according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition). Manuscripts may be copyedited for bias-free language (see Chapter 3 of the Publication Manual).
Double-space all copy. Other formatting instructions, as well as instructions on preparing tables, figures, references, metrics, and abstracts, appear in the Manual.
Below are additional instructions regarding the preparation of display equations, computer code, and tables.
Display Equations
We strongly encourage you to use MathType (third-party software) or Equation Editor 3.0 (built into pre-2007 versions of Word) to construct your equations, rather than the equation support that is built into Word 2007 and Word 2010. Equations composed with the built-in Word 2007/Word 2010 equation support are converted to low-resolution graphics when they enter the production process and must be rekeyed by the typesetter, which may introduce errors.
To construct your equations with MathType or Equation Editor 3.0:
- Go to the Text section of the Insert tab and select Object.
- Select MathType or Equation Editor 3.0 in the drop-down menu.
If you have an equation that has already been produced using Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010 and you have access to the full version of MathType 6.5 or later, you can convert this equation to MathType by clicking on MathType Insert Equation. Copy the equation from Microsoft Word and paste it into the MathType box. Verify that your equation is correct, click File, and then click Update. Your equation has now been inserted into your Word file as a MathType Equation.
Use Equation Editor 3.0 or MathType only for equations or for formulas that cannot be produced as Word text using the Times or Symbol font.
Computer Code
Because altering computer code in any way (e.g., indents, line spacing, line breaks, page breaks) during the typesetting process could alter its meaning, we treat computer code differently from the rest of your article in our production process. To that end, we request separate files for computer code.
In Online Supplemental Material
We request that runnable source code be included as supplemental material to the article. For more information, visit Supplementing Your Article With Online Material.
In the Text of the Article
If you would like to include code in the text of your published manuscript, please submit a separate file with your code exactly as you want it to appear, using Courier New font with a type size of 8 points. We will make an image of each segment of code in your article that exceeds 40 characters in length. (Shorter snippets of code that appear in text will be typeset in Courier New and run in with the rest of the text.) If an appendix contains a mix of code and explanatory text, please submit a file that contains the entire appendix, with the code keyed in 8-point Courier New.
Use Word's Insert Table function when you create tables. Using spaces or tabs in your table will create problems when the table is typeset and may result in errors.
Review APA's Checklist for Manuscript Submission before submitting your article.
Submitting Supplemental Materials
APA can place supplemental materials online, available via the published article in the PsycARTICLES® database. Please see Supplementing Your Article With Online Material for more details.
List references in alphabetical order. Each listed reference should be cited in text, and each text citation should be listed in the References section.

Ethical Principles
It is a violation of APA Ethical Principles to publish "as original data, data that have been previously published" (Standard 8.13).
In addition, APA Ethical Principles specify that "after research results are published, psychologists do not withhold the data on which their conclusions are based from other competent professionals who seek to verify the substantive claims through reanalysis and who intend to use such data only for that purpose, provided that the confidentiality of the participants can be protected and unless legal rights concerning proprietary data preclude their release" (Standard 8.14).
APA expects authors to adhere to these standards. Specifically, APA expects authors to have their data available throughout the editorial review process and for at least 5 years after the date of publication.
Authors are required to state in writing that they have complied with APA ethical standards in the treatment of their sample, human or animal, or to describe the details of treatment.

Make a cup of coffee. I like to add cream and sugar since it makes the bubbles easier to see but black coffee is fine. Hot tea or hot cocoa will work too.
Step 1: Watch the bubbles
If the bubbles move to the edge of the cup rather quickly, that's a good sign. Expect clear skies for the next 12 hours.
If the bubbles hang around in the center of the cup, get out your rain gear. You can expect rain in 12 hours.
If the bubbles slowly move to the edge of the cup, you may get a bit of weather, but it should be clearing in a few hours.
If you've managed to make a cup without bubbles, flop a spoonful of coffee back into your cup and make some more bubbles.
(removed by author or community request)
P.S. The coffee trick works best if you can get exactly 42 bubbles ...
It works 100% :)
On the other hand, I've had a couple of failures since I moved close to the shore of Lake Superior a couple of years ago. Seems like sometimes the predicted rain stays out over the lake and doesn't make it to shore.
You're supposed not to stir your coffee, is it ? Just leave it still and observe the phenomena. I don't catch the theory of atmosphere pressure pushing significantly
on coffee surface, Ok it does but that's sounds like atmosphere blowing more or less in the centre of the cup and why not the reverse , I mean some kind of blow from side to center or the like. What about influence of air % humidity?
Stirring tends to either move the bubbles to the outside edge or congregate them in the center vortex, so that's a no-no. You do run into problems when the coffee doesn't cooperate and you have to use your spoon to make bubbles. A dip and splash technique usually avoids excessive manual bubble movements.
Barometric pressure may be affected by humidity, so that could affect the bubble reading. To avoid that you could dispense the coffee into a clear wet bulb I suppose. Don't know, just slinging out ideas, but some of this stuff can make you go psychro (sic) on the meter scale.
So far the predictions of the cup have been ringing true, I drink a lot of coffee...
The weather report agrees too, so it may be wrong yet, it's not right often...
- Oh wait, I've removed the simplicity of it.... lol
I can only vouch for coffee, since that's the beverage I usually imbibe every day at home or in the woods and I'm used to how the bubbles flow in my cuppa.
Different fluids may not react the same way. They may have different miscibility properties, different triple points, different electrical conductivity, different surface tensions - you get the idea. All those factors could change the capillary wave dynamics and throw your readings off by hours.
Isn't it amazing how much pseudo-science you can dig up in 5 minutes on wiki? :-)
But a cuppa is sometimes handier than your gizmo.
Carly simon was ahead of us all:-)

Uranus' Innermost Satellite Miranda
Date: 24 Jan 1986
Miranda, innermost of Uranus' large satellites, is seen at close range in this Voyager 2 image, taken 24 Jan. 1986, as part of a high-resolution mosaicing sequence. Voyager was some 36,000 km (22,000 miles) away from Miranda. This clear-filter, narrow-angle image shows an area about 250 km (150 mi) across, at a resolution of about 800 m (2,600 feet).
Two distinct terrain types are visible: a rugged, higher-elevation terrain (right) and a lower, striated terrain. Numerous craters on the rugged, higher terrain indicate that it is older than the lower terrain. Several scarps, probably faults, cut the different terrains. The impact crater in the lower part of this image is about 25 km (15 mi) across.

this singing comic book is no longer the ungodly, indecipherable mess it was in February. It's just a bore.
So is this ascent from jaw-dropping badness to mere mediocrity a step upward? Well, until last weekend, when I caught a performance of this show's latest incarnation, I would have recommended "Spider-Man" only to carrion-feasting theater vultures. Now, if I knew a less-than-precocious child of 10 or so, and had several hundred dollars to throw away, I would consider taking him or her to the new and improved "Spider-Man."

And there you have it: $70 million and nearly nine years of effort, all squandered on a damp squib. To be sure, the people who came to last Saturday's sold-out press preview seemed to be enjoying themselves, though they saved their cheers for the flying, not the songs. No doubt "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" will continue to draw crowds, if only because it's been written about with such pendulum-like regularity. But it's neither good enough to get you excited nor bad enough to make you mad, and that will in all likelihood be its epitaph: Never in the history of Broadway has so much been spent to so little effect.
Posted 11 November 2011 - 12:55 PM
Exclusive: Showbiz411 has learned exclusively that director Julie Taymor has filed suit against the producers of the Broadway show she created, "Spider Man: Turn off the Dark." I'm told that Taymor has named as the defendants Michael Cohl's 8 Legged Productions. Taymor has been in arbitration negotiations for months trying to get some financial remuneration from the company. After creating the musical and working on it for nine years, she's been paid just $150,000 for the production that carries a reported $70 million budget. Taymor was ousted by the producers last spring. Last week, the Tony Awards committee ruled that even though Taymor had been replaced as director of the show, only she qualified for a nomination. . . .

'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark' Producers Fire Back at Julie Taymor
After Julie Taymor filed a lawsuit in New York claiming that Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, the most expensive Broadway production ever, violated her rights by continuing to use her work without compensation, the producers have issued a response saying that they "have repeatedly tried to resolve these issues."
"Since Ms. Taymor's departure in March, we have repeatedly tried to resolve these issues. The production has indeed compensated Ms. Taymor for her contribution as a co-book writer," said lead producers Michael Cohl and Jeremiah J. Harris in a joint statement issued late Tuesday.
The statement continues: "Fortunately the court system will provide, once and for all, an opportunity to resolve this dispute. We look forward to a resolution in which everyone is properly compensated for their contribution to Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark." . . .
Hollywood Reporter, November 8
"Spider Man" Lawsuit Could Mean No National Tour For Now
Julie Taymor's lawsuit against the producers of "Spider Man: Turn off the Dark" has some serious consequences not yet explored. It turns out her lawyers are asking for a permanent injunction against the production until Taymor is paid for her work. The amount named in the suit is $1 million. The permanent injunctions, if granted, could stop the producers, Michael Cohl and 8 Legged Productions, from starting any "Turn off the Dark" presentations in other cities. The show has cost so much–maybe up to $75 million–that the idea was to take on national tours to places like Las Vegas and who knows, maybe Branson, Missouri.
Anyway, the injunctions would finish all that for the time being. . . .

She worked on the show for nine years (the Bush administration, give or take), starting in 2002, when Bono and the Edge of U2 enlisted Taymor to direct and cowrite the musical. Then Tony Adams, the lead producer who'd secured the stage rights from Marvel, suffered a stroke in the Edge's apartment minutes before signing the papers to finalize the deal. (He died two days later.) Adams's business partner took over, despite having no theater experience whatsoever, and he oversaw the show as it spiraled toward insolvency. Production had to shut down while new producers came on board and raised more cash. Meanwhile, during rehearsals and the extended preview period, Taymor and her team grappled with the technical challenges while members of the cast were getting injured during the aerial sequences. Bono and the Edge, who once championed Taymor's original script (written with Glen Berger, a relative newcomer to the big leagues), were away on tour, but when they came back, complained that the show wasn't working. The New York tabloids had a field day with the setbacks. Theater critics published reviews before the long-delayed official opening, and many ripped the story and the music to shreds. And through it all, Taymor quietly endured the second-guessing and ridicule until last March, which she describes, with uncharacteristic understatement, as "very dark times."
She lays out her story with the calm, even voice of someone who's told it many times before — to friends, to lawyers, but never, until now, to a journalist. She says her dismissal came as a "complete shock." Press reports at the time indicated that her producers gave her an ultimatum — accept fundamental changes to the show, or leave — which she strongly denies. "This thing that I refused to do the big changes and so they let me go? No. There wasn't [an ultimatum]," she says. "That was not something that was brought up to me. "
Over the next few months, Taymor went silent while the new team shut down production, overhauled the story by scrapping most of Taymor's second act, and orchestrated some damage control, mostly at Taymor's expense. Bono told The New York Times in June that he had never loved Taymor's version of the show. (I ask her about this, and though she declines to comment, the look on her face — annoyed and hurt — doesn't.) According to the Times, the producers are painting her as "inefficient" and "inflexible" in her ongoing arbitration suit against them over $500,000 in royalties. And the Edge has spoken of her as being "exhausted" and "overwrought" before her firing.
That pissed her off. Of course she was exhausted, she says — she'd been working on the thing for nine years. "There's no doubt by the end of February, when I felt all of this stuff happening, that I was exhausted by that, but not by the show and not by the inspiration that I was getting from the actors," she says. "What was exhausting was the fact that the producers were absent... Those people weren't there, so how does Bono know? I'm sorry." Of the descriptions of her as overwrought, she says, "I think that those were important to paint a picture of a director who you needed to release in order to make this big change. I had to be characterized that way in order for something to happen." And that she was fired for doing what she was hired to do — think big, take risks, break the rules — baffles her. "I say they asked me to get involved, they've seen my work" — what else did they expect?
The thing that seems to frustrate her most, and it comes across in the edge of her voice, is that she still believes in her vision of the show. "I love the script. I like the music. Our version was way too long and needed to be cut, but I still think it was a valid story ... and by the end, it was really working." She pauses. "This is the process. We unfortunately had people blogging that process. Some people say, 'Oh, well, it's the twenty-first century and you better get used to it.' Fine, but that means people will not be able to experiment and not be able to take risks, because you make mistakes along the way." . . .

In her new court filing, Taymor also singles out Bono and Edge for particular criticism. She says they failed to attend rehearsals and she cites e-mails beseeching them to deliver improved lyrics and music. "I have been at it on [Spider-Man] nonstop," reads one of those e-mails. "We need you. It is not easy to change anything, but now I think it is a matter of lyrical and musical changes "
Taymor says that Bono and the Edge were out on tour with U2 at the time, and that caused damage. According to Taymor's court brief, "The producers' effort to hold Taymor responsible for damages for failing to make improvements to the show as an author ignores the reality that the conduct of Bono and Edge — the musical's other primary creative team members — severely hampered timely improvements to the musical."

The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
It is one thing to say that death is primordial; it is another to view it as the central means of creation. The theological uneasiness about this issue ultimately rests not just on an understanding of God's creative activity, but also on a particular representation of evolution.
I found myself in a very awkward situation. On the one hand I was a follower of Jesus Christ who loved the Bible, knew that it was God's Word, and, therefore, not full of lies. However, I also was someone who had loved science for many years and was planning on pursuing a career in research...
In science, we don't really know the true way things actually work. What we have are theories—broad explanatory frameworks supported by experimentation, which we can use to make testable predictions about the natural world.
In this series, Bob Jones University graduate David Buller recounts his spiritual and intellectual journey in which he came to a deeper understanding of the metaphorical nature of the Genesis creation account and no longer views evolution as contradictory to God's Word. It is the story of a courageous and truth-seeking heart.
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
In today's video, Dr. Rick Colling states that evolution is not merely the imposition of death and destruction and survival of the fittest. Rather, it is about second chances.
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment on "junk DNA", we explore how genomics can be employed to test for non-functional sequences by comparing sequences between related organisms.
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
I want to lay out some of the key myths and indicate how Coyne's discussion can help Christians get a more accurate understanding of evolution.
Many evolutionary critics have identified the Cambrian Explosion as a stumbling block to the theory of evolution, arguing that the "expected transitions between major invertebrate phyla are absent, and that the suddenness of their appearance in the fossil record demonstrates that evolutionary explanations are not viable." Keith Miller argues that the Cambrian Explosion is not so problematic as these opponents claim after all.
If death did not exist before Adam and Eve, how could God have used evolution to create man? And what about predators and natural catastrophes such as the mass extinction of the dinosaurs?
It has become an article of faith for those espousing both the young earth creation model and many who hold to the intelligent design model that transitional fossils do not exist and therefore evolution has not taken place.
As a child, I started reading the Bible as soon as I could and I made my decision for Jesus wholeheartedly at the age of nine. Nurtured in an "all Christian environment," I knew little else. But certain questions tended to nag at me.
By all accounts, my faith should have perished the moment I started asking questions about faith and science. All my life I'd been taught that I had to choose—between believing the Bible and believing my science book, between honoring God and embracing evolution.

Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit
In the sequel to the hit comedy Sister Act, Whoopie Goldberg reprises her role of Deloris Van Cartier, a Las Vegas entertainer who hid out with in a convent of nuns to avoid a nasty bunch of gangsters. In Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, Deloris is persuaded to return to the convent by the Mother Superior (Maggie Smith), because her help is needed in teaching their choral students at St. Francis High in San Francisco. However, St. Francis is in a crisis, since the administrator running the school (James Coburn) is threatening to shut the place down. If the gospel choir wins first place in a singing contest in Los Angeles, St. Francis will be saved from the priest's plans. Though the plot is rather thin and derivative, Sister Act 2 is lighthearted fun, thanks to good musical numbers and winning performances from the cast.~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Movie Guide

As Maryland works to move a record number of disadvantaged children out of group homes, local advocates say the initiative is going too far.
Two of Montgomery County's four group homes were denied state funding this year. The homes, which provide the children with care and support in a residential setting, are allocated beds through the Maryland Department of Human Resources.
The department decided not to renew three-year-long contracts for Aunt Hattie's Place in Sandy Spring and F&N Youth Home in Silver Spring.
Hattie Washington, founder of Aunt Hattie's Place, is concerned the state is basing their contract decisions on budget numbers, not children's success. Though her organization's facility in Baltimore received funding, her two other group homes in Baltimore County and Montgomery County were denied funding and stand on the brink of closure.
"This is the first time ever we've had someone say, 'Because of a new initiative, we only need four group homes in Montgomery County instead of 11,'" Washington said.
The state's initiative, called "Place Matters," seeks to remove disadvantaged children from a succession of foster and group homes and into more permanent places, preferably with their families. Out of the eight boys who had to be moved out of Aunt Hattie's Place in Sandy Spring in June, two were returned to their families: one by a parent's request and one by court order. Another was moved to Aunt Hattie's Place in Baltimore, but the fate of the other boys is unknown.
"When they take a kid, very rarely do they tell us where that kid is going," said Eric Fenwick, executive director of Aunt Hattie's Place.
According to a news release from Human Resources, the number of children placed in group homes has fallen by 67 percent, from about 1,890 to 620, since the initiative started in 2007. Statewide, the number of children in residential child care is at its lowest levels in 25 years, the release said.
Washington believes "Place Matters" is too quick to move children out of group homes, and the result might be worse for the children.
"I'm just afraid that [the department is] doing it for the wrong reason, instead of caring for these kids long term," she said.
Now, Washington is struggling to keep the Sandy Spring group home open without state funding.
Chuck Short, a special assistant to Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett and former director of the county's Department of Health and Human Services, said Montgomery can't afford to lose more group homes.
"In the not-too-distant future, there will not be enough beds, in my view, to provide continuing care to adolescents," he said.
Short said the state can't eliminate group homes, as different kids need different kinds of care.
Brian Schleter, spokesman for the Maryland Department of Human Resources, said group homes still are necessary.
"Our placements are always based on the needs of the child and our goal is that every child is placed in the least restrictive setting that meets their service needs and moves them toward achieving permanency," Schleter said. "In some cases the appropriate setting may be a group home, and in others it may be other types of care."
Still, Short worries that the gradual elimination of group homes bears similarities to deinstitutionalization in the 1970s. At that time, mentally disabled patients living in overcrowded psychiatric institutions were pushed out and left with few resources as facilities closed and funding dried up.
"I worry that we're going to go down that same road with children," Short said.
Before Maurice Christopher spent eight years at Aunt Hattie's Place group homes, he was living in foster homes.
"My mom was unable to take care of me," he said. Both his parents had been in prison when he was growing up, and he never met his father.
For a short time, he lived with his grandmother, but his grandparents couldn't afford to keep him, he said. He and his four siblings were split up.
Christopher wasn't doing well in school while he was being moved around foster homes, he said, and he suffered from "behavior problems" the first few years he was at Aunt Hattie's Place.
Christopher, now 18, lives in Baltimore, at the only Aunt Hattie's Place group home to receive state funding. With encouragement from Washington and her group home staff, Christopher is working to earn certification to become an emergency medical technician.
Short said he supports foster care, but it should not be the only option for disadvantaged children.
"It's critical to have a continuum of care in the state, because all kids are not the same," he said.
Shelley Tinney, director for the Maryland Association of Resources for Family and Youth, works with group homes around the state.
"We believe there are kids whose behavior and whose circumstances make it extremely difficult for them to be served in a family setting," Tinney said. "They need an around-the-clock supervised structure."
Washington said kids who need group homes but have been pushed out of them are worse off. Some kids who have left Aunt Hattie's Place to go into a sixth foster home, for example, or to live with a relative, have been abused or become homeless, she said.
"These are children who are desperately in need of a relationship," Short said.
In June, Short sent an email to group homes advocates around the county, encouraging them to meet with the state to talk about possible consequences of "Place Matters."
"We're calling for a conversation about this," he said, "before it's too late."

River Maps
Rivers have been a key part of urban life for centuries. They have provided us with drinking water, protection, and a transit network that links us from one settlement to the next. I wanted to create a series of maps that gives people a new way to look at rivers: a much more modern, urban type of portrayal. So I turned to the style of urban transit maps pioneered by Harry Beck in the 1930s for the London Underground. Straight lines, 45º angles, simple geometry. The result is more of an abstract network representation than you would find on most maps, but it's also a lot more fun. The geography is intentionally distorted to clarify relationships. I think it helps translate the sort of visual language of nature into a more engineered one, putting the organic in more constructed terms. Not every line depicted is navigable, but all are important to the hydrological systems shown.
This is a work in progress. With thousands of labels, some errors have no doubt slipped through; I'm slowly working through checking them. If you'd like to know a bit more about how they're made, including the many many semi-arbitrary decisions that go in to them, click here.

Are you interested in corrections? The Clark Fork branch of the Columbia has a couple with regard to names. I'm surprised you left off the large natural lakes such as Flathead and the four major tributaries above it. I also note the entire Clearwater drainage coming into the Blackfoot from the north is missing.

I really like your maps but I am surprised of the large number of very important rivers you left off the Columbine river system. I think you are looking at this from a navigation stand point and not a fishing stand point, which is far more important here in Washington and oregon. I also think adding dam locations would be a great idea. The Columbine river system has close to 50? dams. the columbian can not be traveled its length with out a trailer to hull out around many dams. you can however navigate up the snake pass several dams.

Winston 17th February, 2011 at 14:26
These maps are really cool. I would love to see the California map to include features like the Yolo Bypass (perhaps drawn as a 4 track section) and the state water projects since these canals move as much water as many of the natural rivers shown.
Brad 10th February, 2011 at 10:15
I love the Colorado River map, but it needs the dams marked on it. Why just Parker Dam–a relatively minor dam–and none of the big ones. Also it would be nice to have the major canals that drain the water out of the river.

Cool stuff — I've just come over from "Strange Maps".
You already have lots of neat request ideas, but have you thought of doing more than a river? I'm thinking specifically of the Chesapeake Bay watershed — I saw a poster of it recently, and it's surprising how far north and east it goes. I can imagine the "transit-map"-like scheme might be a bit fine-grained on the eastern side of the bay, but the west side would be pretty interesting.

These are great maps! It's been a long time since someone put some real thought into the aesthetic of river mapping. My work is in the same, more on the functional side of the representation, but these are just as functional as artistic! Your California map reminds me of a full Sacramento River Valley map that a researcher from UC once presented, looked just like yours but with a lot more microscopic engineering detail, and I've seen the USBR map of the Lower Colorado in a similar aesthetic, so you're not ranging too far from the new norm for engineering of riverways.

Very interesting, but with one big flaw from my admittedly local angle: In the name of simplification it depicts the Iowa-Cedar system as one river. This places my home in Iowa City, on the Iowa, downstream from Cedar Rapids, which is on the Cedar. The two rivers meet below both cities, at Columbus Junction.
This point of confusion buffaloed all my out of state family and friends during June 2008, who watched the flood crest at Cedar Rapids and assumed that we getting that crest, when in fact the flooding on the Iowa was a bit less bad.
John Deeth 21st February, 2011 at 11:33
I've often wondered why it's called the "Iowa" below Columbus Junction when the Cedar is the larger river at the intersection.

While I am seriously considering purchasing the Mississippi River Map, I have to point out that Metairie, the largest suburb of New Orleans, is located not on the River, but on Lake Pontchartrain. Other communities of Jefferson Parish, LA, namely Kenner, River Ridge, Harrahan, and Jefferson, lie between Metairie and the Mississippi River.

I'm a big fan of the Mississippi River System map. I'd buy a print immediately if not for the omission of the Rock River, which feeds in from Illinois at Rock Island/Davenport. It's the juncture of the Mississippi where the river runs East-to-West for 20 miles before bending back south, another geographical feature I wish were documented here.
Otherwise, brilliant work.

Here's a suggestion for something completely different: how about a map of the Great Basin, showing all the rivers with almost no network whatsoever?
Michael Schechter 24th February, 2011 at 14:54
These are absolutely fantastic! Do you have any thoughts on whether these would look better in matte or glossy finish? I'm getting the Columbia for my office.

If you are taking requests, the Potomac River in DC and the other tributaries of the Cheasapeake Bay would be wonderful.

This is some really great work. I can see the love you put into it by how difficult it was for you to determine what should stay and what needs to be left out. I think you did a great job balancing accuracy with visual appeal.
I'd love to learn how to do this with the ArcMap software you mentioned. Can you point me in the right direction of any good tutorials or first steps I could take to learn more about this?
Thanks…and I second the votes for the Amazon and the Nile, as well as the many other geographically significant rivers around the world.

I love the idea, but know that the Klickitat should be on the North before Lyle, for the Columbia River System. It seems there is more attention to the towns than the actual aquatic inputs. You need to decide what you want to depict, because the Klickitat River is large enough that it should not be ignored.

These are awesome- I grew up canoeing many of the rivers in Michigan. Something that would be pretty cool would be to have a "transfer" connecting the Ausable and the Manistee. If you look on a real map, the two rivers are only a few miles apart in Crawford County. Fur traders and Native Americans took advantage of this, and portaged between the rivers, cutting the distrance traveled about in two, and also greatly increasing safety. There are still folks who make use of the portage, as you can see in this tour, which has a long (outer) or short (inner) passage options. You can see details here: https://sites.google.com/site/vkmchallenge/adventure-details

Oh man, this is really neat. I'd love to see you do the Chesapeake Bay watershed at some point.
Tim Evans 21st March, 2011 at 08:25
yes yes yes Please do Chesapeake next — maybe with the Delaware thrown in too, since the Delaware doesn't have that many tributaries, plus its headwaters and the Susquehanna's are only a few miles apart in upstate New York…then you've basically got the Mid-Atlantic covered.

Great idea. Please do the Potomac/James/Rappahannock drainages next. All sorts of interesting features: dendritic and trellis patterns, not to mention stream capture and superimposed drainage! I also like the suggestion of doing the basin-and-range region.
Gerry St.Pierre 25th March, 2011 at 14:58
Hi Daniel,
These are great! Have you considered eventually combining the major river systems into a larger map — color coding each system differently to resemble different subway/metro lines? You could even add man-made connections between different systems (as with subway connections between different lines that approach each other but don't share tracks)

I love your maps. I've always been interested in "alternative" and more useful ways of presenting information.
How about the Puget Sound watershed (i.e. the Seattle area), including the Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Skykomish and Skagit rivers)? With all the outdoors-people in western Washington, I have a hunch there would be a pretty good demand…
Thatcher 16th January, 2012 at 21:01
Great work!
The Adirondacks in NY would be very interesting –
The Adirondack dome collects water and sends it off in all directions — west to Lake Ontario, north to the St Lawrence, east to Lake Champlain, and south to the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers.
The rivers there were the entry way into the mountains for centuries, so almost every town in the Adirondack Park is on a river or lake.

These maps are great! I would like to buy the Nelson River map, but one important piece is missing: the Churchill River diversion, through which most of the water from the Churchill River is diverted into the Burntwood River. What's you opinion on including major diversions? Smaller navigation canals are a different issue, but when most of the water is diverted (like in this case), it would seem appropriate to include diversions.
Vincent Fortin 2nd April, 2012 at 11:39
According to this paper on major diversions in North American, the Churchil River diversion accounts for 70% of all interbasin water transfers (in terms of volume of water):
Vincent Fortin 2nd April, 2012 at 12:32
Hi, I posted my second comment before reading your reply. I think focusing on natural flow provides a good starting point for a discussion on how much we are changing the landscape. I hope you eventually get to make a second series showing canals and diversions. I am willing to help for Canada.
By the way, I think I found a typo on your Nelson River map: on the Qu'Appelle River, "sand point beacht" should be "sand point beach". This is an interesting subway stop: you'll find mostly cottages there, on the shores of beautiful Buffalo Pound Lake which essentially exists because of water diverted from the South Saskatchewan River to the Qu'Appelle River in order to provide drinking water to Regina and Moose Jaw. So diversions have contributed to many of the "subway stops" found on your maps.

Hi Daniel,
What an amazing set of map – I've really enjoyed examining each of them. I'm slightly disappointed (and likely biased) that you didn't include any rivers found in the south! Georgia has some amazing rivers, the Chattahoochee, the Altamaha, the Chattooga. This doesn't even include North Carolina or Tennessee! Thoughts on expanding to the southeast?
Looking forward to what's to come!

One minor tweak on the Columbia River map: the Okanagan River is what's north of the 49th and the Okanogan is south of it. We Canadians like to spell things differently from y'all.

A map of the rivers in the Adirondack Park/Mountains of New York State could be very interesting, since the area is a huge dome with rivers coming off in all directions and emptying into the Hudson River, Lake Champlain, the Mohawk and the St. Lawrence.

You missed Esopus Creek in the Hudson drainage.
I'm sorry to be negative, but I find this mapping exercise arrogantly anthropocentric, and actually disrespectful of rivers. I appreciate good graphic design, and consider myself a designer, but as an ecologist, I find the reduction of an infinitely complex natural system to a completely human engineering diagram deeply disturbing.
Mark Vian 6th February, 2015 at 06:52
I'm pretty sure I did leave my gmail address.
Sorry to assume that you missed the Esopus, that was, indeed, arrogant on my part.
I suppose just dont get the project. I really enjoy maps when, through the simplification they represent, unrecognized relationships are revealed. I think a standard U.S.G.S topo or DOT planimetric map reveals the longitudinal relationships between urbanized areas nicely, and I'm not sure what is added, except in the interests of graphic design, by abstracting the river/urban network to subway map symbolization.
I think our society is sick with its alienation from natural systems. If your project brings some overly urbanized people to awareness of natural rivers, that's a good thing.
good luck,
Thatcher Hogan 6th February, 2015 at 07:38
Thanks so much for your wonderful maps and graphic design. I love being on trails, rivers, and lakes, and in all my travels by car I always wonder where the rivers I cross flow from and lead to.
Nowhere but through thoughtfully constructed maps like yours can I see hundreds of thousands of square miles all at once and begin to understand the larger drainage systems that my local streams are a part of.
Allan 26th March, 2015 at 09:45
These are really neat. A little disappointed the two rivers I know best, the Rouge (in Detroit) and the Chicago (in Chicago, of course), don't show up on these maps. Is it because they fall below some threshold? They seem like pretty major waterways.

Your idea and your maps are amazing! Would you ever consider doing one of the central Texas river basin – particularly the Trinity River? It flows through Dallas/ Fort Worth (my home town). Also, have you ever considered some international rivers such as the Nile, Rhine, Thames, Great Ouse (in England), Amazon or the Seine? I would certainly purchase a map of Texas and the Great Ouse for my office. =0)

Occupy Unmasked
While the Liberal establishment and mainstream media portray the Occupy Wall Street movement as organic and nonviolent, Occupy Unmasked reveals the sinister, organized, and highly orchestrated nature of its leaders and their number one goal: Not just to change government, but to destroy it.Led by hugely influential conservative visionary, the late Andrew Breitbart, Occupy Unmasked delves deep beneath the surface of the Occupy movement to show its dark anarchist roots. Behind the largely naïve students and legitimately concerned citizens looking for answers stand those who advocate the use of violence, black bloc operations, and intimidation as protest tactics - the same tactics they used during the anti-war protests of the 1960's, anti-nuclear weapons protests of the 80's, WTO protests of the 90's, and the IMF protests of recent years.

Ethics and Compliance
Does your internal audit team have responsibility for monitoring and reporting on your company's ethics hotline? In benchmarking with my peers, it seems that about a third of the companies I talk to have some direct responsibility within internal audit to perform this task, while the rest do not. However, all of them would participate in investigations if calls were received regarding fraudulent employee activities, theft, or other financial matters.
For those who maintain this responsibility, is there a perceived problem in implementing IIA Standard 2100: Nature of Work, which calls on internal auditors to "evaluate and contribute to the improvement of governance, risk management, and control processes"? There seems to be much more guidance around the role that an auditor plays in risk management than in monitoring ethics and compliance calls. I suppose that an objective external resource could be used to evaluate the governance processes if internal audit played a significant role in designing and managing these processes, so from an independence standpoint, the organization could still receive feedback on the performance of this activity.
If your company has a dedicated and separate ethics and compliance function, does internal audit periodically perform audits of this governance process? For larger, more established audit functions, I presume the answer is "yes" or "covered through Sarbanes-Oxley testing of entity-level controls." But I'm just wondering.

Today's Track of the Day comes from Washington-based twee band Beat Happening. "You Turn Me On" comes off their 1992 K Records release Turn Me On, which was the band's last official release, although they have not officially disbanded—they haven't performed together since the '90s and declined an invitation to perform at the music festival All Tomorrow's Parties in 2005, although they did release a 7-inch in 2001. Vocalist and guitarist Calvin Johnson, a mainstay in the Northwest music scene, was a member of The Go Team (along with Bikini Kill's Tobi Vail) before forming Beat Happening. Johnson went on to form the funk band Dub Narcotic Sound System, collaborating with spoken word artists like Miranda July and Lois Moffeo (of the band Courtney Love), until the band was involved in a car accident in 2003 that left Johnson badly injured. Heather Lewis, Beat Happening's other vocalist, performed guest vocals on The Wedding Present's album Watusi, while Bret Lunsford, the third member of the group, took his life in a non-musical direction, authoring the book Croatian Fishing Families of Anacortes.
