How what type of news you watch can influence how you reactto a scandal in a presidential primary.

Despite the 2016 election being more than a year away the presidential primary season appears to be in full swing, especially for the Republican Party, with its plethora of candidates. With the possibility of a scandal breaking for at least one candidate before the primary a seeming near certainty, it’s useful to examine why voters react to scandals in the way that they do. David A. M. Peterson and Beth Miller Vonnahme investigate the scandal around allegations of sexual harassment in 2012 that ended Herman Cain’s bid for the nomination. They find that those who watched network news declined the most in their assessment of Cain after the scandal, and cable news watchers, the least

Sexual Attraction Toward Clients, Use of Supervision, and Prior Training: A Qualitative Study of Predoctoral Psychology Interns

Interviews were conducted with 13 predoctoral psychology interns about an experience of sexual attraction toward a client, use of supervision to address the sexual attraction, and prior training regarding sexual attraction. Results indicated that sexual attraction to clients consisted of physical and interpersonal aspects. Therapists believed they were more invested and attentive than usual to clients to whom they were sexually attracted, and they indicated that sexual attraction created distance, distraction, and loss of objectivity. In terms of supervision, only half of the participants disclosed their sexual attraction to supervisors, and supervisors seldom initiated the discussion. Furthermore, trainees found it helpful when supervisors normalized the sexual attraction and provided the opportunity to explore feelings in supervision. Finally, trainees believed their training programs did not adequately address therapist sexual attraction

Comparing Performance Category Criteria for U.S. Navy Alternate Physical Readiness Tests

The current Navy Physical Readiness Test (PRT) allows for several alternative methods, in lieu of the 1.5-mile run, with which to assess aerobic fitness. Two of these methods (elliptical trainer and stationary bike) and two additional devices (2-Km rower and 5-Km bike) were evaluated to determine if maximal effort on all devices produced the same performance category as the 1.5-mile run. One hundred thirty-two active-duty military and midshipmen were recruited from the United States Naval Academy and Naval Support Activity Annapolis. Subjects participated in six testing sessions over a six-week period. Subjects performed a 1.5-mile run (n = 118), 12-minute elliptical trainer test (n = 108), 12-minute stationary bike test (n = 115), 2-Km rower test (n = 115), and 5-Km bike test (n = 114). Each performance category attained from the alternate aerobic test device was compared to the performance category attained for the 1.5-mile run. None of the aerobic testing devices performance categories matched well to the 1.5-mile run. The results of the testing sessions support the mandated use of the 1.5-mile run as the sole method of assessing aerobic fitness. Additionally, if an alternate method must be used, the 12-minute stationary bike test using the revised Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) performance categories might be the best option because it has the largest number of performance matching categories. Finally, the results do not support the use of the 12-minute elliptical test, as an authorized alternative, due to its minimal number of matching categories

Taxonomy and biogeography of the New Caledonian species of \u3ci\u3eXylopia\u3c/i\u3e L. (Annonaceae)

A taxonomic review of the New Caledonian representatives of the pantropical tree genus Xylopia L. (Annonaceae) is presented based on museum study of 157 collections. Distinctions are clarified among the four endemic species, two of them previously undescribed in flower and two others described in the literature from only the type collections. A key and species descriptions are presented. Xylopia pancheri Baill., the most frequently collected species, occurs in maquis environments with ultramafic rocks in the central and southern regions of the island, as well as on the Ile des Pins. Xylopia vieillardii Baill. is widespread in low elevation humid forests but the remaining two species, X. dibaccata Daniker and X. pallescens Baill., have restricted distributions and their ecology is still incompletely known. Xylopia pancheri shares similarities with the endemic Fijian species X. degeneri A.C.Sm. and X. vitiensis A.C.Sm.; the remaining three species share more traits with the Fijian endemic X. pacifica A.C.Sm. Taxonomie et biogéographie des espèces de Xylopia L. (Annonaceae) de Nouvelle-Calédonie. Une revision taxonomique des representants neo-caledoniens du genre arborescent et pantropical Xylopia L. (Annonaceae) est presentee, basee sur l’etude de 157 specimens d’herbier. Les distinctions entre les quatre especes endemiques sont clarifiees, deux d’entre-elles precedemment non decrites en fleurs, et les deux autres decrites dans la litterature uniquement des collections types. Une clef et la description des especes sont presentees. Xylopia pancheri Baill., l’espece la plus frequemment recoltee, croit en maquis sur roches ultramafiques dans les regions centrales et sud de la grande-terre, de meme que sur l’Ile des Pins. Xylopia vieillardii Baill. est largement repandue en foret humide de basse altitude, mais les deux dernieres especes, X. dibaccata Daniker et X. pallescens Baill., ont des distributions restreintes et leur ecologie est toujours incompletement connue. Xylopia pancheri montre des similarites avec les especes endemiques fidjiennes X. degeneri A.C.Sm. et X. vitiensis A.C.Sm. ; les trois autres especes semblent plus proches de l’espece endemique fidjienne X. pacifica A.C.S
