CQ Examines House Foreign Affairs Committee Outline To Overhaul U.S. Foreign Aid
Congressional Quarterly examines a "three-page concept paper" issued by the House Foreign Affairs Committee that lays out a plan to overhaul U.S. foreign aid. The committee suggests "giving the administration greater flexibility to control aid in exchange for greater public oversight and a performance- and need-driven allocation system," the news service writes. "The plan would reorganize aid programs around seven purposes, including "reducing poverty and alleviating human suffering," "supporting human rights and democracy," and "expanding prosperity through trade and investment,"" according to CQ. The House committee wants to enhance USAID"s role, "giving the agency a seat on the National Security Council and putting it in charge of the U.S. global AIDS plan and the Millennium Challenge Corporation," the news service writes.

Wiley-Blackwell, the scientific, technical, medical and scholarly publishing business of John Wiley & Sons, Inc (NYSE: JWa), (NYSE: JWb), has announced that the inaugural issue of its new journal, Asia-Pacific Psychiatry, is now live online. The official journal of the Pacific Rim College of Psychiatrists, and focused on the Asia and Pacific Rim, Asia-Pacific Psychiatry aims to publish original research of relevance in the Pacific Rim, and to lead the debate on mental health care, as well as to help mental health professionals in their clinical practice, mental health policy, education and research. This inaugural issue has original articles addressing the qualities of a good psychiatrist, as well as studies exploring the working criteria of mild cognitive impairment, and that of neuropsychiatric symptoms. In addition to the clinical practice papers spotlighting best practice in mental health care , the " Young Psychiatrists Forum" will be a stimulating platform to discuss training matters. There is also "Psychiatry in Translation" section - where abstracts from articles published in Chinese journals are compiled and translated for readers. Editor-in-Chief Dr. Allan Tasman said, "We will have succeeded (in our mission) if readers find content that may make a difference in their clinical practice or academic life, and which they may wish to share with colleagues in their journal clubs or cite in their next research paper." Volume 1, Issue 1 of Asia-Pacific Psychiatry is available free online, and can be accessed via http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/122491012/home About Asia-Pacific Psychiatry Asia-Pacific Psychiatry is an international psychiatric journal focused on the Asia and Pacific Rim region, and is the official journal of the Pacific Rim College of Psychiatry. Asia-Pacific Psychiatry enables psychiatrists and other mental health professionals in the region to share their research, educational programs and clinical experience with a larger international readership. The journal offers a venue for high quality research for and from the region in the face of minimal international publication availability for authors concerned with the region. This includes findings highlighting the diversity in psychiatric behavior, treatment and outcome related to social, ethnic, cultural, and economic differences of the region. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and reviews, as well as clinically and educationally focused papers on regional best practices. Images, videos, a young psychiatrist"s corner, meeting reports, a journal club, and contextual commentaries differentiate this journal from existing main stream psychiatry research journals that are focused on other regions, or nationally focused within countries of Asia and the Pacific Rim.
