Week long series of Earth Day events focusing on climate change.

This coming April 16-17, 2009 the 57th Nebraska Symposium on Motivation will address one of the pressing health concerns in the U.S. – “Ethnicity and Youth Health Disparities.” As asserted in the National Institutes of Health report, Healthy People 2010, health disparities due to race, gender, ethnicity, and social class will become a major threat to the well being of the nation in this century. The goals of this Nebraska Symposium are threefold: 1) to provide basic information on the scope and etiology of health disparities among youth, 2) to identify the methodological and political challenges ahead, and 3) to provide a venue for exchange of ideas to address these challenges and reduce these disparities. The Symposium will bring together eminent scholars who are known for studying psychological and behavioral health in ethnic minority populations in the U.S. The speakers have expertise on health disparities across multiple ethnic populations including African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian Americans, as well as disparities linked to social class. Health topics to be discussed include violence, academic achievement, substance use, and physical and mental health, among others. The speakers will focus on two key issues: (1) major conclusions from theory and research and (2) how their body of work has or could improve human well-being and functioning. The Symposium will prove valuable to students, researchers, educators, service providers, practitioners, and policy makers.

This fast-paced 17th century sex comedy has been given a contemporary sensibility. The plot centers around three ludicrous husbands, each of whom lay claim to the most effective method of securing his wife's fidelity. The first relies on innocence, the second on wit, and the third on piety. Leave it to the lusty young bachelors and the winsome wives to thwart the scheme. Not suitable for children.
