Bulbous oatgrass, a weed in parts of the United States and Europe, is an unusual grass, which forms corms at the stem base. Growth and development of this creeping perennial grass was investigated in the field and in pots outdoors. Under the mild climate of the Willamette Valley, Oregon, shoots emerged in early autumn. Plants grew vegetatively and formed corms during the winter and spring. Aboveground portions of the plant stopped growing and senesced in the summer. The absolute growth rate of the plants was highest in early May, shortly before the onset of flowering. In early May, the growth rate of corms was higher than that of the shoot.

Mary Ellen Richmond is often credited with developing social work as a profession in the United States. In this article, we focus on Richmond’s Social Diagnosis, revisiting this hallmark of social work practice a century after its publication and tracing its foundational ideas at the root of the conceptualization and practice of subsequent giants in social work. Our aim is to recenter and retrace these formative ideas so crucial to the origins of social work as a profession and its subsequent growth and development by examining Richmond’s understanding of social diagnosis, evidence-informed practice, and the helping relationship. A full century after the publication of Richmond’s far-reaching Social Diagnosis seems the most apposite time for such a review and revisit.

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) represent a significant disease in the western world as rupture of AAA is currently the 15th leading cause of death in the United States [1,2]. The rate of incidence of this disease is also thought to be increasing given the aging population. While AAA rupture is attributed to the gradual weakening of the wall, the mechanisms of aneurysm initiation, growth, and development remain relatively unclear. The role of biomechanics in the diagnosis and prevention of AAA rupture has been reported [3].

This introductory paper examines some of the main questions raised by the papers presented to the urbanization symposium in Vancouver. Comparisons between the Latin American urban experience and that of the United States and Canada revealed basic contrasts in spite of some broad hemispheric similarities. Differences were particularly apparent in the residual influence of native society on later European settlement, in the role of the state versus private commerce in growth and development, and in the differing class structures.

Studies were conducted on the growth and development of 55 morphologically distinct vegetative types of johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense(L.) Pers.) collected throughout the United States and from several foreign countries. Observations were made also on the growth of sorghum almum (Sorghum almumParodi) from three foreign countries. Mature leaf-blades of the different johnsongrass ecotypes varied in length from 31 to 59 cm and in width from 1.7 to 3.4 cm. Plant height and culm density varied 2 to 4-fold for the different ecotypes. Floret production varied from 87 to 352 sessile spikelets for representative panicles of the different ecotypes. The number and arrangement of branchlets within panicles also varied as did the size of various spikelet components. Sorghum almum produced much taller plants than did johnsongrass although culm density and lateral growth were less than that of johnsongrass.

I have always loved dinosaurs, and I feel fortunate to be able to teach teachers and students about dinosaurs as part of my profession; and yes, my name is really Dinah. Every year for the past 10 years, I have worked with thousands of teachers and students across the United States. During this time, I have made a startling discovery not mentioned in any of the classic human growth and development textbooks. I have found that most Americans pass through the following developmental stages, based upon dinosaurs:

There has been increasing concern over the past decade about the lack of economic activity in a number of major cities, many intermediate and small sized cities, and a significant number of rural areas within various regions of the United States. This concern about the depressed conditions in these urban and rural areas, relative to the nation, has attracted country-wide attention.
