Harvard College , its undergraduate division, was founded on September 8 1636 by a vote of the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, making Harvard the oldest post-secondary school in the United States. Originally called simply the New College, it was renamed on March 13 1639, after its first principal donor, John Harvard. Harvard was first referred to as a "university" rather than a "college" by the new Massachusetts constitution of 1780.

Extractions: Studies of human behavior are mirrors of the culture that produce them. The difference between traditional U.S. psychoanalysis (the subconscious), and its traditional counterpart in Russia (conscious behaviorism) is a case in point. Anthropology, too, is similarly influenced. In the United States, culture change has been subsumed under the term "acculturation," a uni-linear evolutionary conceptualization with the anticipated result that all cultural differences will disappear. U.S. "acculturation" has its deepest roots in the comparatively homogenous, expansionist, empire-oriented upper-class imperial echelons of Anglo-British-Germanic culture. As such, it is an extension of a conqueror culture. On the other hand, in Mexican anthropology the principal concept of culture change is "transculturation." This concept holds that culture change is a bi-cultural, multi-linear and synthesizing process in which the ultimate end is the incorporation of cultural differences while the original forms pursue their own multi-cultural diversity. "Transculturation," is the product of an unanticipated, continually changing and synthesizing middle and lower-class which metamorphosed into a mestizo culture. It represents the conquered and its varied mestizo manifestations.

Extractions: NCI Completes Nationwide Study of Radioactive Fallout from 1950s Nuclear Tests The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has completed a study to assess Americans' exposures to radioactive iodine-131 fallout from atmospheric nuclear bomb tests carried out at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) in the 1950s. Depending on their age at the time of the tests, where they lived, and what foods they consumed, particularly milk, Americans were exposed to varying levels of I-131. Because of the radioactive decay of I-131, such exposures did not exceed two months following each test. Because I-131 accumulates in the thyroid gland, concerns have been raised that the fallout could cause thyroid cancer in people who were exposed to it as children. In 1982, Congress passed legislation calling for the Department of Health and Human Services to develop methods to estimate I-131 exposure, to assess I-131 exposure levels across the country from the Nevada tests, and to assess risks for thyroid cancer from these exposures.
Extractions: of Radioactive Fallout from Nuclear Tests The National Cancer Institute (NCI) today released summary results from a study to assess Americans' exposures to radioactive iodine-131 fallout from atmospheric nuclear bomb tests carried out at the Nevada Test Site in the 1950s and 1960s. A full report is to follow. Depending on their age at the time of the tests, where they lived, and what foods they consumed, particularly milk, Americans were exposed to varying levels of I-131 for about two months following each of the 90 tests. Because I-131 accumulates in the thyroid gland, concerns have been raised that the fallout could cause thyroid cancer in people who were exposed to it as children. The average cumulative thyroid dose to the approximately 160 million people in the country at the time was about 2 rads. (By comparison, a routine I-131 diagnostic thyroid scan of a child in the 1950s gave approximately 200 to 300 rads to the thyroid. Today, a thyroid scan would give about 0.4 to 4 rads to the thyroid, depending on the radionuclide used.) NCI urges caution in interpreting the results, particularly because the study does not directly address the question of cancer risk from the fallout. NCI and the Department of Health and Human Services have enlisted the help of the foremost radiation experts in the country to fully evaluate the risk and develop an appropriate public health response.

From the signal corps drummers in the Revolutionary War to the full brass bands of WWII, music has been a critical part of the Army's success. Whether it's a ceremonial performance or a concert to boost the morale of Soldiers, U.S. Army Band members have the unique opportunity to serve their country while making music.

During World War I, at the request of The U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Elsberg trains 200 neurological surgeons at the New York Neurosurgical School for U.S. Army Medical Officers. By 1927, NI was too large for the 67 Street facility and accepts an invitation to move to Washington Heights as an affiliate of the newly formed Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. James Gamble Rogers, architect of Yale University's campus, designs NI's new home, the same building it occupies today. The Institute's trustees open the facility in March 1929.

In it, he cataloged the feathered creatures inhabiting the United States by painting exquisite portraits of every species of wild fowl he could find.

At the same time, each painting conveyed far more than just a photographic image of its subject matter: They each conveyed the essence of its subject. Taken as ...

Source: Coalition for Freedom of Information ( http://www.freedomofinfo.org/national_poll.html Myth: Airline pilots never see UFOs, so they must not be real... Fact: There have been many cases of pilot sightings ever since the 1940s... The most convincing UFO reports were produced in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s by airline pilots, military pilots and ex-military pilots. These men had the training and the experience to be able to distinguish between normal sky sights and highly abnormal sights. They knew what airplanes looked like, and what meteors looked like, having seen them many times. Their visual observations were frequently supported by radar data which showed essentially the same thing. They were therefore able, on many occasions, to methodically eliminate conventional phenomena from consideration when trying to identify UFOs. In those same decades, most UFO sightings were made in the daytime and frequently at close range, when shapes and surface features could be distinguished, thus making positive identification of normal sights easier and the descriptions of unusual sights more detailed. When all normal explanations had been eliminated, the witnesses could concentrate on those aspects of the experience which were most abnormal.

The first part was posted on February 2. The second part of Deceit and Denial Plastics had emerged in the 1950s as the backbone of the petrochemical industry. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the most common plastic, was created from chemical combinations that did not exist in nature, so its effects on the environment and human health were completely unknown. Silent Spring In the mid-1960s, vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), a primary component of polyvinyl chloride, was linked to acroosteolysis, a degenerative bone condition affecting workers in several plants. The chemical industry developed a plan it used frequently in the coming decades. It would privately fund research to provide the information it needed to devise a response. The industry then released only information that would reassure people of the safe nature of its products, and worked to stop any government regulation.
