Guinea Pig Club (first plastic surgery in the world)
Even though the first plastic surgery was done in Egypt, this story exemplifies a well rounded treatment approach which included surgery ... while also addressing the emotional and social needs of these heroic men.

Lake Kiowa Ferret
What an Adorable Little Ferret out on the banks of Lake Kiowa... just a little guy, down by the dock... I think he enjoyed seeing us, too...
Welcome to the Updated Newest Site: The Houghton Blogmobile
So... just when you thought that Twitter was the only way to post... While I was standing in some random line, having some random thought as I was working on some random presentation and on an ongoing frustrating project... I figured out how to make a template, USING ACTUAL CODE, and some timely help from several great websites...
This face is so sweet, I just had to put him in!

Why DO We Call Them "Honor Killings," Anyway?
I recently read an excellent article, pursuant to my connection with the ABA Individual Rights and Responsibilities Section... which started me on a whole new pursuit of potential answers to this question. The author's headline here reflects a concern about how Western journalists and pundits (I'm sure these do not include any mental health or legal folks) romanticize these killings and mutilations. Many of these are currently occurring on our own USA soil, rather than off in a land far, far, away. That is really what caught my attention and made me take a good hard look at my own assumptions and sense of denial. One of the authors asked if there was any other situation in which the mutilation of girls and women was in any way associated with the word "Honor." I see their point and want to share it with you...
