HOME USE RIGHTS Consider the pros and cons to closing Guantanamo Bay in closing Guantanamo with Gregory Michael I n January President Obama signed an executive order to close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay within a year. Gregory McNeal discusses the pros and cons of Obama's decision, the logistical and legal dilemmas of establishing a national security court, and how some of Obama's policies may not be as far from the Bush administration as many people might think. Gregory McNeal is visiting assistant professor of law at Penn State Dickinson School of Law. His research focuses on criminal law and procedure, counterterrorism, and national security law. Previously he co-directed an innovative transnational counterterrorism program funded by the U.S. Department of Justice and served as consultant to the chief prosecutor for the Department of Defense Office of Military Commissions.

Demonstrates use of curare and quinine methochloride in protecting patients from spinal fractures in metrazol and electrical convulsion therapies. Young woman in extreme manic excitement pictured before treatment. Shows preparation and administration of curare before metrazol injection. Soft convulsion follows. After series of eight treatments patient presents normal behavior with every indication of complete recovery. Other patients shown with use of quinine methochloride. A.E. Bennett and P.T. Cash. Dated, but of historical interest. Color silent.c 1941.
Details locomotion in the slime mold, an acellular myxomycete; protoplasmic shuttle streaming is the basis of plasmodial locomotion, with force generation provided by cytoplasmic actomyosin in the ectoplasm. A model of a cross section of a protoplasmic strand is supplemented by electron micrography to demonstrate the contractile apparatus of the organism. Produced by the Institut fur den Wissenschaftlichen Film.
Demonstrates techniques of shooting your own pathology slides. Discusses the aspects of specimen preparation, framing, distractions, background, and lighting.
Complete set of 7 speech pathology videos. Titles include: Cineradiographic Examination of the Velopharyngeal Mechanism, Examination of the Oral Mechanism, Normal Speech Articulation, Speakers with Cerebral Palsy, Speakers with Cleft Palates, Survey of Children's Speech Disorders, Velopharyngeal Function of the Normal Speaker. Medicine
Demonstrates, via cineradiography, the velopharyngeal competency rating system, showing a range from normal closure to gross incompetence.
Examines the relationship between the oral speech mechanism and speech problems. Demonstrates how an oral mechanism examination many be effectively administered when the objective is to locate physical problems which may affect speech.
Demonstrates characteristics of speech sound articulation in normal speakers by way of cineradiographic film and direct photography.
Various deviations in respiratory, laryngeal and articulatory functioning are demonstrated by persons with cerebral palsy. Emphasis is on the difficulty of fully describing the speech physiology problems and relating specific deviations in functioning of the speech mechanism to the speech defects exhibited. Physiological functioning m ay vary in cerebral palsied children and a number of deviations may contribute to a particular speech characteristic.
Illustrates deviations in the functioning of the velopharyngeal mechanism including deviate dentition and inadequacy of the lip tissue, and their effect on speech. Demonstrates the complexity of the relationship between physiological abnormalities and speech problems of individuals with cleft palates.
How children learn oral communication and the relation of these processes to children with speech difficulties - oral communication problems in hearing, cleft palate, cerebral palsy, articulation, stuttering and the factors involved in each specific disorder.
Presents a description of the velopharyngeal mechanism in normal speakers through animated drawings and x-ray sound motion pictures.
