USI Community of Scholars lecture addresses emotion regulation in children with ADHD

0

Dr. Paul J. Rosen, assistant professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Louisville, will present the College of Liberal Arts Community of Scholars Lecture, sponsored this year by the Department of Psychology.

Rosen will present “Emotional Difficulties in Children with ADHD: It’s Not What, But How Much and For How Long,” at 6 p.m. Thursday, November 17, in Carter Hall in University Center West.

His talk will discuss ways in which poor control of emotions affects children with ADHD, with a focus on emotional and behavioral functioning. The talk also will review research on the development of emotion regulation problems in children, and discuss cutting-edge research on the development of programs to help children with ADHD learn to better manage and control their emotions.

The lecture is free and open to the public.

Rosen also will present “Emotion Regulation in Children: An Emerging Concept for Research and Practice,” a lecture aimed at a student audience, at 11 a.m. Friday, November 18, in Couch/Renner Hall (Education Center Room 1101). The talk will review research on the development of emotion regulation in children, and discuss how emotion regulation problems are being addressed in science and practice.

IS IT TRUE? November 8, 2011 Post Election Edition

IS IT TRUE? November 8, 2011 Post Election Edition

IS IT TRUE that the City County Observer wishes to congratulate all of the winners in the 2011 City of Evansville election?…that the people of Evansville have spoken and what they have chosen is a Republican Mayor with once again a City Council made up of 8 Democrats and Dan McGinn?…that the prospects for sweeping change do not look very good so we need to start encouraging some incremental improvements?…that was more a reflection on the total make-up of the City Council than on any individual members?…that more balance from a party perspective would have been better for Evansville’s ability to have fluid and diverse discussions about what ails the City of Evansville?

IS IT TRUE that with that statement the CCO is as pleased as anyone that this election season is over and that the newsworthy things will be more manageable with a small group of content providers?…that a nice normal schedule will be a welcome change for us?…that it was not just Evansville that chose to reject change agents in this election cycle and that unlike national politics in 2010 this year was a good time to be an incumbent in Indiana?…that Hoosiers must be a pretty content bunch with the way things are because we have not yet heard of an incumbent in a leadership elected position that lost?…that as the old folks say. “the more things change the more they stay the same”?

IS IT TRUE that we are sure that there will still be some shuffling of some patronage positions and that Mayor Winnecke will start making a list of nasty people so he can replace them with people who will be nice?…that we support the desire for the public servants in the Civic Center to be more customer friendly and wish Mayor Elect Winnecke the best in making this happen?…that we also pledge to help and support him in his campaign commitment to eradicate the litter in the City of Evansville?…that little things can mean a lot and that having a clean city is essentially free if the townspeople are on board to help?

IS IT TRUE that back to what keeps the readers reading we must remind everyone that in less than 48 hours the real estate tax bills are due?…that this includes the bill that is due from City Centre Properties LLC of just over $10,000 for the McCurdy Hotel?…that just now the Vanderburgh County Assessor’s website indicates that these taxes have not been paid?…that we will be checking regularly but given the rock and hard place that the Evansville Redevelopment Commission has put themselves into that Centre City Properties could just not pay and there will be little that can be done in the way of consequences?…that this is just one of many legacy problems that Mayor Elect Winnecke will need to start familiarizing himself with?…that this gentleman just earned himself a very difficult job.

Winnecke elected Mayor and 8 – 1 Democrat Majority on City Council Maintained

7

Some are Calling it a Blowout Victory for the Machine

The votes have been counted the Republican candidate for Mayor of Evansville, Lloyd Winnecke has defeated Democrat Rick Davis by nearly 2,000 votes which was 7.7% of the total votes.

In the other races incumbents and Democrats are dominated with incumbent 2nd Ward Democrat Missy Mosby defeating E. Lon Walters by a 19 point margin, Democrat Stephanie Brinkerhoff-Riley defeated Republican Alan Leibundguth by 9 points in the 3rd Ward, and Democrat Al Lindsey took a 23 point win over Republican newcomer Shaun Short in the 6th Ward.

The race for Evansville City Clerk is a bit tighter with incumbent Alberta Matlock defeating J. D. Strouth by 9 points. The tightest Ward was the 5th Ward where incumbent Democrat John Friend won by an 11 point margin over Republican Brent Grafton.

The at large races are tighter across the board with less than a 4% difference separating first place Dr. H. Dan Adams and 6th place candidate Bill Kramer. Despite the closeness the three Democrats Dr. H. Dan Adams, Jonathan Weaver, and Conor O’Daniel were elected.

Salvation Army Voting Center Traffic is Consistent

0

The voting center at the Salvation Army located at 1040 North Fulton has been experiencing lines of 10 to 15 minutes throughout the day. The other voting center that has experience strong and consistent turnout has been the 1st Ward voting center at the Washington Square Mall.

Roads to Voting Center Closed Disrupting Voting at St. Theresa

2

The City County Observer has learned that the voting center at the St. Theresa School Gym located at 700 North Herndon Avenue is having a very low turnout that is being blamed on barricades in the road that block the normal route that people take when going to St. Theresa.

No lines have been reported at the St. Theresa voting center all day and the wait has been continuously reported as Zero minutes.

The President of the Vanderburgh County Election Board Tom Massey and attorney David Kent are in route to investigate the complaint that was filed by Vanderburgh County County Commissioner Stephen Melcher who formerly represented the 3rd Ward on the Evansville City Council.

Heavy Turnout Reported at Washington Square Voting Center

1

The City County Observer has been advised that the turnout to vote at the Washington Square Mall is so high that the support staff is being overwhelmed and lines have been forming all day. It was reported to us that there are 20 voting machines but only 3 people signing voters in who come to the polls.

Several voters have expressed displeasure that one of the poll workers is on his cell phone all the time rather than signing people in and adding to the queue. The CCO will be trying to check on the turnout at the other voting centers as the day goes on.
