After dominating Kansas State the entire game but eventually running out of steam in the last minute of the game, the UCF Knights (2-2; 0-0 C-USA) return home to Bright House Networks Stadium on Wednesday at 8pm to face the UAB Blazers (1-3; 0-0 C-USA), who last week took the Tennessee Volunteers into overtime. Last week, the Wildcats scored a touchdown on a quarterback scramble with 25 seconds left in the game, waking up just in time to seal a 17-13 win over the Knights. The Knights look for their first win towards a Conference USA Championship appearance. The game is going to be nationally-televised on ESPN. Kickoff is scheduled for 8pm. The Colleges of Nursing and Health & Public Affairs Tailgate Party will begin at 4:00pm in the Softball Lot (Lot E-5), directly across the street from BHNS.

I am very happy to report that two of my articles were accepted for publication in the Journal of Social Service Research this week. The first, an article that was reworked from a data-driven to a clinical piece is titled, “Using the Internet to Meet Sexual Partners: Research and Practice Implications.” The article, focusing on drug use within sexual relationships initiated in the on-line environment, is co-written by Dr. Sophia Dziegielewski (Professor, School of Social Work, University of Cincinnati) and will appear in a special upcoming GLBT-focused issue of the journal. The second, “Reducing Alcohol Abuse in Gay Men: Clinical Recommendations from Conflicting Research” sheds light on the conflicting studies about alcohol use and abuse in gay men and provides the clinician with recommendations on how to effectively screen gay male clients for alcohol abuse. Both should appear in-print and on-line in late 2010 or early 2011.
