The debate over the Affordable Care Act was one of the most important and public examinations of the Constitution in our history. At the forefront of that debate were the legal scholars blogging at the Volokh Conspiracy, who engaged in a spirited, erudite, and accessible discussion of the legal issues involved in the cases - beginning before the law was even passed. Several of the Volokh bloggers played key roles in developing the constitutional arguments against the ACA. Their blog posts and articles about the Act had a significant impact on both the public debate and the legal arguments in the case. It was perhaps the first time that a blog affected arguments submitted to the United States Supreme Court on a major issue. In the process, the bloggers helped legitimize a new type of legal discourse.This book compiles the discussion that unfolded at the Volokh Conspiracy blog into a readable narrative, enhanced with new context and analysis, as the contributors reflect on the Obamacare litigation with the advantage of hindsight. The different bloggers certainly did not always agree with each other, but the back-and-forth debates provide momentum as the reader follows the development of the arguments over time. A Conspiracy Against Obamacare exemplifies an important new form of legal discourse and public intellectualism.

The Second International Workshop on Human Leukocyte Differentia- tion Antigens was held in Boston, September 17-20, 1984. More than 350 people interested in leukocyte differentiation agreed to exchange reagents and participate in this joint venture. All in all, in excess of 400 antibodies directed against surface structures on T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, and myeloid-hematopoietic stem cells were characterized. Because of the enormous quantity of serologic, biochemical, and functional data, Leuko- cyte Typing II has been divided into three volumes. These books represent the written results of workshop participants. They should be helpful to both researchers and clinicians involved in scientific endeavors dealing with these broad fields of immunobiology. To those who delve into the various sections of the volumes, it will become evident that the work speaks for itself. I am deeply indebted to the section editors, Barton F. Haynes, Volume 1, Human T Lymphocytes, Lee M. Nadler, Volume 2, Human B Lympho- cytes, and Irwin D. Bernstein, Volume 3, Human Myeloid and Hemato- poietic Cells for their major contributions in planning, executing, and summarizing the workshop, as well as council members John Hansen, Alain Bernard, Laurence Boumsell, Walter Knapp, Andrew McMichael, Cesar Milstein, and Stuart F. Schlossman. I would also like to thank the National Institutes of Health, World Health Organization, and Interna- tional Union of Immunological Societies for making this meeting possible.

With higher education's refocus over the last three decades on bringing greater recognition and reward to good teaching, the idea of peer review has gained popularity. One tool for documenting and reflecting on the quality of teaching and student learning is a course portfolio. A course portfolio captures and makes visible the careful, difficult, and intentional scholarly work of planning and teaching a course.

Illustrated through examples of course portfolios created during a four-year project on peer review of teaching, this book demonstrates how faculty can integrate well-designed peer review into their daily professional lives, thus improving their teaching by incorporating a means for assessment and collaboration and revealing the student learning that happens with effective teaching within an institutional reward systems.

This book offers a model of peer review intended to help faculty document, assess, reflect on, and improve teaching and student learning through the use of a course portfolio. It features a rich collection of materials--including four dozen exhibits to help assemble a portfolio, reviewers' comments, and reflections drawn from more than 200 professors and portfolio authors in various disciplines and institutions--that faculty can use to develop their course portfolios to be used in their peer review of teaching.

Summer vacation was the best time of year for Peter, an elementary-age chick from Penguin Colony, Antarctica. With school being on break for the next three months that meant his favorite show "Penguin Pirate Adventures" was back on the air, he wouldn't have to see Lois: the evil leader of the Girl Army and he and his best friend Matt could spend day and night doing what they enjoyed the most: being "miiiiiiiiiiiiischevious " While his mischievous tricks were the best out there, on the last day of school his doings were overshadowed by a legendary prank done upon him by Lois. Peter's need to pay her back will set him on an adventure where he encounters suspicious questioning from the town mayor, a near-encounter with the mean old Ms. Menorahscarf, and a valuable lesson in how every action bears consequences, which cannot be taken back. This story exemplifies to children there are things that happen in their lives, which are beyond their control. It shows the importance of learning how to cope with what's happening, no matter how difficult it may seem at the time. In the case of "Peter the Mischievous Penguin: volume 1," Peter's father has been unemployed for quite some time and come to find out later in the story; he had accepted a new job, which will force their family to move away from their home. This is something many children can relate to in that it enables them to relate to Peter that despite the scariness of the change, everything will be alright in the end.
