Description: Medical Anthropology Quarterly: International Journal for the Analysis of Health publishes research and theory in the field of medical anthropology. This field is broadly taken to include all inquiries into health, disease, illness, and sickness in human individuals and populations that are undertaken from the holistic and cross-cultural perspective distinctive of anthropology as a discipline-that is, with an awareness of species' biological, cultural, linguistic, and historical uniformity and variation.
It encompasses studies of ethnomedicine, epidemiology, maternal and child health, population, nutrition, human development in relation to health and disease, health-care providers and services, public health, health policy, and the language and speech of health and health care. The purpose of the journal is to stimulate debate on and development of ideas and methods in medical anthropology and to explore the relationships of medical anthropology to both health practice and the parent discipline of anthropology.

Colin Miller assisted on both of Vegas' goals in what was a 4-2 loss on Monday. Fantasy Impact: Miller now has three two-assist games in the last four. He missed some time, but is a great option.
The 'moving wall' represents the time period between the last issueavailable in JSTOR and the most recently published issue of a journal.Moving walls are generally represented in years. In rare instances, apublisher has elected to have a 'zero' moving wall, so their currentissues are available in JSTOR shortly after publication.Note: In calculating the moving wall, the current year is not counted.For example, if the current year is 2008 and a journal has a 5 yearmoving wall, articles from the year 2002 are available.

The clinical activities that constitute longevity making in the United States are perhaps the quintessential example of a dynamic modern temporality, characterized by the quest for risk reduction, the powerful progress narratives of science and medicine, and the personal responsibility of calculating the worth of more time in relation to medical options and age. This article explores how medicine materializes and problematizes time through a discussion of ethicality—in this case, the form of governance in which scientific evidence, Medicare policy and clinical knowledge and practice organize first, what becomes ``thinkable' as the best medicine, and second, how that kind of understanding shapes a telos of living. Using liver disease and liver transplantation in the United States as my example, I explore the influence of Medicare coverage decisions on treatments, clinical standards, and ethical necessity. Reflexive longevity—a relentless future-thinking about life itself—is one feature of this ethicality.
Season 3 Has Completed.Serial is a podcast by the creators of This American Life that tells a story in weekly installments. About Us:This subreddit is a place to discuss your theories, predictions and other aspects of the pod and to find information about Serial and related podcasts.Season One examines the case of a high-school senior named Hae Min Lee who disappeared one day after school in 1999, in Baltimore County, Maryland. A month later, her body was found in a city park. She'd been strangled. Her 17-year-old ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, was arrested for the crime, and within a year, he was sentenced to life in prison. The case against him was largely based on the story of one witness, Adnan’s friend Jay, who testified that he helped Adnan bury Hae's body.

But Adnan has always maintained he had nothing to do with Hae’s death. Some people believe he’s telling the truth. Many others don’t.Season Two focuses on Bowe Bergdahl, a U.S. Army soldier who left his base and was captured by the Taliban. He was later exchanged for 5 Guantanamo Bay detainees.Season Three is going back to the criminal justice system.
This time, spending a year inside a typical American courthouse in Cleveland and putting the troubling machinery of the criminal justice system on full display. They record in courtrooms, back hallways, judges’ chambers, prosecutors’ offices and follow those cases outside the building, into neighborhoods, into people’s houses, and into prison.S-Town is an 8 episode podcast from Serial and This American Life, hosted by Brian Reed, about a man named John who despises his Alabama town and decides to do something about it. He asks Brian to investigate the son of a wealthy family who’s allegedly been bragging that he got away with murder. But then someone else ends up dead, and the search for the truth leads to a nasty feud, a hunt for hidden treasure, and an unearthing of the mysteries of one man’s life. Sub rules:Be civil.

Yesterday, Colin Miller, Professor of Law and one of the hosts of the Adnan Syed Legal Trust-sponsored Undisclosed podcast, wrote an unusual piece of fan-fiction on his blog.In the post, he wrote how he would question potential alibi witness Asia McClain if he were the sort of lawyer who ever appeared in court and how Asia should then testify if Asia were the sort of 'witness' who ever obeyed court orders and subpoenas.
Already, we're firmly in cuckoo bananas territory.Shortly thereafter, he removed the post entirely. Thankfully, our very own preserved it here:Today, took to to explain why the post was removed.I took it down due to abusive comments by certain commenters about Asia. Didn't want a sounding board for thatAs other Redditors have noted, comments on The Evidence Prof's blog are moderated and require his approval prior to appearing on the site-no abusive comments directed toward Asia could have appeared on the blog without his authorization. Therefore, it seems that he is being dishonest about his reasons for deleting the post.Perhaps he'd care to explain himself better here.(HT: for her honesty in pointing out that comments on Colin Miller's blog are moderated.). I can see why he might have considered this post a misstep.
He's spitballing ideas, but in retrospect might have realized it looks like he's scripting testimony. If Asia does get the chance to testify and it resembles his post (which it probably will) he'd probably feel foolish for providing any ammo for doubters. And he probably did get a load of nasty messages, even if they were moderated. If you've ever 'replied all' by mistake and felt like an a$$ in a professional capacity, then you've probably tried to save face too.
I'm willing to cut him some slack on this one. I actually kind of agree. I don't mind him trying to save face. But I disagree with his method. His excuse of protecting Asia seems, to me at least, shifty. He's saying he didn't want his blog to be used as a soundboard for 'abusive comments' (which no one has seen but him to my knowledge) directed toward her while simultaneously using her name as justification for taking down a blog that caused these comments.
He's not taking any accountability for his role in the matter and rephrasing the argument as if he's doing what's best, not for him, but for Asia. Which is so very brave of him.ETA: this is a very similar tactic politicians use when caught in a tough spot. Mention ideas like freedom, or loving and supporting the troops, or family values, etc.
Even if they've voted against issues of freedom, or military health care, or the rights of mothers.Uno mas edit para clarity: he could have simply stated 'I took it down due to abusive comments.' And left it at that. Instead of using Asia's name as an appeal for both sympathy and congratulations. That's the part that really gets to me. Not only is he not owning up to a mistake, but he's also trying to capitalize on it by appealing to the better nature of his sincere readers. He has a dubious 'ethical' history when it comes to his blog posts. A while back he posted a case summary where he had the name of the criminal defendant mixed up with the respondent in the case - the prison warden.
(Generally in a federal writ procedure the state prisoner 'sues' the prison warden for his release, though of course the state is the real party in interest). There were dozens of references throughout several paragraphs, where EP was constantly posting the wrong name.I pointed that out in a comment to his blog, just to see what would happen. My comment was never published. However, EP did correct his post - all the way through - without noting the change or correction in any way.Making a mistake is not a problem. Refusing to acknowledge the mistake is, especially in the context of a blog published as part of the 'Law Professor Blog Networks.'
