• Health Talk: Gallbladder Inflammation Can Be Serious

One of the many functions of the liver is its production of bile. Bile plays an important role in the digestion of food, and the gallbladder is the organ that functions as storage for bile. Many conditions can alter the composition of the bile making it more prone to forming stones. Some of these influences include family history or genetics, obesity, older age, rapid weight loss, hormones, medications and certain intestinal disorders. There are well over 26 million people in the United States with gallstones; however, the majority of them will never develop symptoms. It is estimated that about 10 to 20 percent of the individuals with these "silent" gallstones will eventually become symptomatic. Once symptoms develop, a wide range of problems can occur.

• Democratic Norms to Deliberative Forms: Managing Tools and Tradeoffs in Community-Based Civic Engagement

Deliberative democracy derives its moral urgency from universal ideals, but relies on tools that pose practical tradeoffs stemming from the particularities of place and time. I argue for transcending a technique-oriented mindset focused on single methods, using examples from a foundation project to engage lesser heard voices into policies for young children and their families. Case study data from eight California counties are analyzed to identify frequently used civic engagement tools and their strengths and limitations. Drawing on this evidence, and on democratic and administrative theory that envisions citizens and experts as co-creators of public work, I develop strategic understandings for improving deliberative practices. The managerial wisdom needed has less to do with being au c...
