* NEW * The Serious Consequences of Congress as a Target of Humorists
In 2011, Stephen Frantzich, U.S. Naval Academy, received a Michel Special Grant from The Dirksen Congressional Center for a project entitled "The Serious Consequences of Congress as a Target of Humorists." This exploratory research is designed to analyze humorous representations correlated with public knowledge and evaluation of Congress. Congressional representations seem like fertile ground for testing a number of important hypotheses relevant both to Congress and a broader understanding of the sources of public opinion toward other political institutions. The research resulted in a teaching module now

Take a look at The Dirksen Center's Congressional Timeline 2.0! http://www.congressionaltimeline.org
In October 2010, we announced the first version of The Dirksen Center's new Congressional Timeline. At that time we introduced more than 200 examples of major laws passed by Congress from 1933 to the present. As with any new website, our first version had some bugs to work out. So considering our users' feedback and taking a hard look at our first version, we have done our best to improve the timeline by creating the Congressional Timeline 2.0.

I am working on a paper for a Masters course. I am trying to find information on how teachers and other professionals feel about the use of drugs for children with special education needs, for example Ritalin for ADHD.
As you can imagine this is a rather sensitive topic and gathering informatoin is not very easy since it is an issue that overlaps different disciplines. Any information you can share will be very welcome.
