Policies for incarcerated mothers and their families in Australian corrections
Farrell, Ann (1998) Policies for incarcerated mothers and their families in Australian corrections. The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Criminology, 31(2), pp. 101-118.
|PDF (138kB)
The incarceration of a mother usually brings considerable dislocation to the offending women's children and family. This paper examines current policies for the inmate mother, for her children and for the caregiver(s) of her children on the outside in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. The study found that while inmate mothers need support from 'significant others' within and outside the prison to cope with the dual roles of prisoner and mother, the custodial enviornment with its philosophy of incarceration, its mode of containment and its rules and regulations runs counter to such needs.

So your case is if it's in the house it's fine, but outside it's not. Okay.
Your second point was he got wasted and walked into a Fertitta Brothers casino and said "Do you know who I am?" Yes, this is clearly inexecusable since it was in a Fertitta Brothers casino and not another casino, or bar, or hotel, or club, or any kind of party where I'm sure countless other fighters have gotten drunk and got out of hand.
You know what, you're absolutely right, we have no idea what Jesse actually did too, so let's just do some math. He wasn't arrested, charges weren't pressed, he's a young guy in Vegas. Just shut up and put two and two together man. The guy hit on some girls, started to get loud, obnoxious, call them names. Security shows up and he says "Do you know who I am?".
Need I express this issue again because it's not coming in clear enoughm, Chris Leben was just PRISONED for another DUI after being shown as a full fledged drunk on TUF and threatening to kill and cripple people, oh yeah I forgot, because it's in the house that's okay. Yet he's still co-headlining a UFC fight against Michael Bisping, good thing CB Dalloway wasn't the replacement for Leben. And yet I express this again, Melvin Guillard got busted with possession of CRACK, Rob Emerson travels with a pack of fratboys and beats up random defenseless people on the streets. For the love of god get off this shit about how he "brought it on himself". He gets drunk like 90% of fighters in the UFC and who have gotten out of hand, but not excessive. JT was a clear victim of the UFC wanting a certain fighter in the finals and bam, opportunity came knocking.
Those of you defending that Jesse Taylor deserved to get banished from the finale because of THIS seriously needs another outlook on life in general and really need to re-evaluate your morales. And more importantly, needs to quit being spoon fed by this whole "he lay and prays!" crap so this is a perfectly good reason to kick him out of the finale because CB Dalloway almost got his arm snapped in half.
Edit: Yeah they didn't just put him back in the finals, but it was the fact that they knew they'd have an opportunity to bring him back and give him another shot. And they're not stupid, they knew that Tim didn't stand much of a chance against him. They figured CB would take him down like Jesse did and hold him there and that's what he WOULD have done, only I'm sure CB was tenative taking him down since he just came off from an arm bar loss.
Clear cut for CB to get to the finals, that's why this all happened. Boring wrestler, Rampages hype machine and #1 pick. This whole season Dana hyped up CB to be this machine, he clearly isn't, and that's why this happened.
You're just a cook...

Post subject: SoS's Pressing Questions
How's it going fellas. This will be the next installment of my "32 Team Pressing Fantasy Questions" thread, which will be found in the Fantasy Football forum once I've compiled a sufficient amount of responses. I will be linking each team from that central thread so posters can click on the link and be directed to this thread (or whichever team they click on) to directly see the comments you guys have left.
With that said, I would GREATLY appreciate as much participation/responses/opinions as possible. I know it's somewhat of a dead period here on Football's Future but it would be great if you guys could just take a few seconds to voice what you believe to be the answer to these pressing questions. Since it is for fantasy purposes, there likely will not be any defensive questions. Each team will have 3 questions and they will generally encompass the QBs, RBs, and WRs.
Thanks in advance!
1. There are a lot of uncertainties surrounding the Raiders, but I have to start with the RB position, because it has to be causing the most headaches. Who the hell is going to get the most touches from this backfield? Does anyone have value past 2014? What are the chances Latavius Murray becomes the guy?
2. The next stop I'll go is the WR position. I don't think many people have questions regarding James Jones, but after that it's nothing but question marks. So who is the guy people should be monitoring as a potential sleeper in fantasy? Andre Holmes? Rod Streater? Mychal Rivera?
3. Finally, people have to be wondering about Matt Schaub. What are the chances he can regain his old form in an offense that doesn't necessarily have the type of surrounding talent his Houston teams did?

1) we've got 2 guys who are both likely past their prime and both injury prone (or at least have a history of injury) so my guess is neither of them is going to be the "feature back". likely they'll share the bulk of the carries unless/until one of them gets hurt. As for value past 2014... do you mean fantasy football value? Our current RB (not the one we just signed from jacksonville) is only 26 years old. Statistically speaking, that is when most backs peak. Not to say he hasn't already hit his wall, but if there's any future for either of them, my guess is it's the 26 year old not the 29 year old. As for RB of the future... well... certainly the hope is that he's on the roster now, but we'll know a lot more by the end of training camp and have some more definitive answers by the time the season's rolling.
2) never take a raider WR in fantasy football. So far, we have yet to have that one guy be consistent. maybe with consistent QB play one receiver will start to stand out, but until that happens, I don't see a true #1 on our team.
3) I don't think that our offensive talent is that much worse than Houstons, so the question is was 2013 an anomaly or the new rule for our current QB? Certainly we're all hoping that he's the same guy that holds ALL of the Texans passing records. From the rumblings we hear, our beefed up Oline should be able to protect fairly well, and we will likely be a run-first team anyway, so maybe less pressure will help him turn last season into just a distant memory.

I'm a recovering FF junkie. Although I don't do FF anymore I'll attempt to answer these questions as best I can.
1. There are a lot of uncertainties surrounding the Raiders, but I have to start with the RB position, because it has to be causing the most headaches. Who the hell is going to get the most touches from this backfield?
First let's talk about offensive philosophy. The Raiders plan to take the air out the football and win games through ground & pound. Expect a pedestrian run heavy offense. The composition of the carries will probably be a true RBBC. DMC is the homerun hitter who will probably get his carries between the 20s. MJD will do the power work. If you want long TDs I would probably go DMC. I would go MJD as the redzone back. Murray will come into play if their are injuries.
Does anyone have value past 2014?
Murray if he can stay healthy
What are the chances Latavius Murray becomes the guy?
Depends on his durability. If Murray can't stay healthy the 2015 draft is loaded with RBs and I expect the Raiders will look to upgrade.
2. The next stop I'll go is the WR position. I don't think many people have questions regarding James Jones, but after that it's nothing but question marks. So who is the guy people should be monitoring as a potential sleeper in fantasy? Andre Holmes? Rod Streater? Mychal Rivera?
Imvho, the WR corps will also be WRRC with no one guy as the go to guy week to week. I would take a late round flier on TE Ausberry. There is a concern the Schaub no longer has the power to push the ball outside the hash marks and leans heavily on the TE. People outside of Oakland may be aware of Rivera but Ausberry could beat him outright.
3. Finally, people have to be wondering about Matt Schaub. What are the chances he can regain his old form in an offense that doesn't necessarily have the type of surrounding talent his Houston teams did?
If Schaub is an efficient game-manager and protects the ball then he will have done his job. There are just too many question marks to draft Schaub as anything other than QB3.
In a futures league I really like Carr. I really like the offensive weapons in next years draft and the Raiders may make an effort to strengthen Carr's supporting staff.

1. My advice for fantasy purposes when it comes to the RB position for the Raiders, stay away. I like the potential combination of DMC and MJD when it comes to reviving the running game for this franchise and becoming a strength of the team, but I dont think either guy will become THE guy. Both of these guys are extremely talented and have had either flashes of brilliance or a consistent history of playing at a high level, but neither guy is a sure thing. I believe MJD ends up with the most touches, and I do believe he can have a real bounce back year, but McFadden and Murray will both get their touches as well. It will be too difficult to try and figure out with guy will see the bulk of the work load each week as I expect the team to ride the hot hand on a game by game basis. And you cant forget that both of these guys are injury prone, which somewhat ties in to your last question. Murray will get some looks, but the only way I see him getting any sort of consistent workload is if Dmac and MJD suffer injuries, which is entirely possible, perhaps even likely, but too difficult to try and predict for fantasy purposes.
2. As far as the WR position goes, ROD STREATER. I like him as a fantasy wideout even more then I like Jones. Rod has produced and improved every year, all while being the victim of terrible and inconsistent QB play. With even decent QB play last year I think he could have cracked a thousand yards and maybe 7-8 TDs. Hes big, fast, runs good routes, and has by far the most consistent hands on the team. If Schaub returns to form, Streater will have a huge year imvho. Even if Schaub has a decent year I think Rod ends up being our most productive pass catcher. He is the type of WR that every QB loves. You know where hes going to be, he shows up week in and week out, isnt afraid to go over the middle, and he can go up and high point the ball to make difficult catches. I think realsitically he has a real shot at 1000 yards and a handful of touch downs. Andre Holmes is another guy to keep an eye on. As it stands right now he seems to have passed Moore for the number three spot heading into training camp and nothing seems to be set in stone in terms of the depth chart at this position. I dont expect Holmes to have a huge year in terms of stats, but he could be a nice late round sleeper. He was brilliant down the stretch and showed he could make some ridiculous catches. I expect him to be much more involved in the red zone and could lead the team in TD grabs. Rivera is another good guy to target late in the draft for keeper purposes. He was productive last year by rookie standards and Schaub loves his TEs. Dont invest too much in him (not that I expect anyone to) because he will be battling it out with Ausberry for the starting job and nobody really knows how that will play out because David has some untapped talent but we have no way of knowing if he finally puts it together.
3. I am not as high on Schaub as others. I dont expect him to return to his old form, but I also dont expect him to be the walking disaster he was last season. I believe in the combo of DMC and MJD behind our revamped OL that should be at its best paving the way for the backs, so I do think having a solid run game to lean on will help Matt out greatly and while we have nobody that even sniffs a WR of Johnson's caliber we arent void of talented pass catchers. Again for fantasy purposes I think there are numerous better options then Matt Schaub, but I think he can have a decent season under center. Truthfully he is going to have to produce or he may end up being benched in favor of Carr, but I think he can do enough to keep that from happening. If Matt can avoid turnovers, make the right decisions, and lead the team he will have done what the Oakland Raiders need him to do, but will probably leave a lot of fantasy owners wanting more even if he does those things. Nobody in their right mind would rely on Matt Schaub as their fantasy starter, but come draft time I am looking at a number of guys over him as a backup and QB number 3.

PITTSBURGH - The Pitt baseball team defeated No. 7-ranked Louisville, 8-3, Friday afternoon at Trees Field to improve to 21-7 on the year and 5-2 in Big East action. The Cardinals fell to 24-5 overall and 5-2 in league play.
Corey Baker picked up the win for the Panthers, pitching seven innings, while giving up three earned runs and striking out five batters. Designated hitter Kevan Smith and catcher Cory Brownsten each went 3-for-4 on the day with two runs batted in and a run scored.
Pitt gave up an early run in the first when Louisville shortstop Ryan Wright homered to right center for the 1-0 lead. The Panthers responded in the bottom of the inning with a two-out rally including a Travis Whitmore single, which drove in Pitt's first score of the day. Smith (Cranberry Township, Pa./Seneca Valley) followed that up with a 2-RBI double to right center, giving Pitt the 3-1 lead.
Both teams were held scoreless in the second and third despite each team leaving three runners on base over the two innings.
In the top of the fourth, Louisville added two runs to tie it up including a homer by their leadoff batter of the inning. A single with one on tied up the game at 3-3.
Again with two outs in the bottom of the fourth, Pitt's John Schultz drove in Brownsten (Lockport, N.Y./Monroe CC) off a left field single giving Pitt the 4-3 lead. The Panthers would not trail the remainder of the contest.
The combination of Baker (New City, N.Y./Clarkstown South), Cole Taylor and J.R. Leonardi shut down the Cardinal bats the remainder of the game including allowing just two hits in the final five innings of action.
The Panthers, however, added a run in the bottom of the sixth off a Brownsten single through the right side. Pitt took its 5-3 lead into the bottom of the seventh. With two outs and two on, Phil Konieczny (Phoenix, Ariz./Mountain Pointe) singled through the left side to drive in David Chester from third. Brownsten was next to the plate and singled to bring home Smith. Pitt's final run of the inning came when Konieczny stole home to give Pitt its final 8-3 score.
In the top of the ninth, Leonardi (Pittsburgh, Pa./Pittsburgh Alderdice) retired all three batters to give Pitt its 21st victory of the season and take game one of the three-game series.
Pitt will continue its series with the Cardinals Saturday at 3 p.m. at Trees Field. The three-game set will wrap up Sunday at noon.

The Washtenaw County Food Policy Council increases and preserves access to safe, local and healthy food for all residents of Washtenaw County.
To have a healthy community and thriving local food system that:
- Provides access to healthy and culturally appropriate food for all residents
- Values and preserves community land for food production
- Maximizes the use of local, regional and seasonal food
- Meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the needs of future generations
- Promotes economic development and a local economy within and around the food system
The idea for a Washtenaw County Food Policy Council originally came out of discussion during meetings of the Food System Economic Partnership's Policy Committee meetings. After seeing the rise of Food Policy Councils around the country, committee members saw a growing need for the same sort of unifying structure in Washtenaw County. What was originally an idea gained further traction after Washtenaw County Public Health was able to secure grant funding for the development of a food policy council. With this support the Policy Committee was able to move this idea further, hiring a part-time council coordinator and applying for recognition by Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners in the winter of 2012.
The Washtenaw County Food Policy Council supports a viable, economical and sustainable local food system through multiple strategies including:
- Strengthening the connections between food, health, natural resource protection, economic development and the agricultural community
- Researching, analyzing and reporting on information about the local food system
- Advocating for and advising on food system and food policy implementation
- Promoting and providing education on food system issues
Policy Agenda
In September 2016, the Washtenaw County Food Policy Council approved a policy agenda, outlining and summarizing our goals to support healthy, fair, affordable and sustainable food in Washtenaw County. Policy agenda items span from issues to increasing food access in the county to preserving land for agriculture, to ensuring fair wages for food and farm workers.
The policy agenda organizes the work of the Washtenaw County Food Policy Council by spheres of influence–from schools and institutions, to municipalities, to county government, to state and federal government–change at all of these levels is critical to ensure a more sustainable and economically viable food system.
This is the second policy agenda to be approved. The first policy agenda was approved in July 2014.

We just started framing our basement. My wife wants the flat wall look and to have no visible speakers in the front of the room (at the least). I'm quite new to these boards and have a few threads going, but I wanted to get your thoughts on a screen for the room specified below.
The room is about 17' deep by 15' wide. I'm thinking that a 120" screen will be just right since I can get a throw distance of about 16'. Now, since my wife would like to have all speakers mounted behind the screen and that as you can see we have 6 windows in the room (that will have shades/blinds/etc), what would be my best best for a screen?
We are not looking to heavily invest in this theater or make it look completely professional, but we do want some form of quality. My budget is roughly below 700 if possible.
Thank you for reading.

- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a patient's white blood cells and tumor cells may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining vaccine therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy combined with leucovorin and fluorouracil in treating patients who have undergone surgery to completely remove stage II or stage III colon cancer.

History and Purpose
LaneACT Overview
About the Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan
Every two years the Oregon Transportation Commission establishes funding levels for various programs within the broader Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, or STIP. Beginning with the 2015-2018 STIP cycle, a different process is being used.
Previously, the OTC set funding levels and selected projects for each program individually. The new process focuses on identifying the best projects, regardless of category, and then uses available federal and state funds creatively and flexibly to deliver those projects. This change is in response to direction from the Governor and the OTC to integrate programs and funding sources strategically and become a truly multi-modal transportation agency that delivers sustainable transportation solutions addressing a variety of state and community needs and objectives.
In the Lane County area, 21 eligible applications were submitted by the Nov. 27, 2012, deadline. The applications reflected a broad range of project types. Over several months (from December 2012 to February 2013), the LaneACT membership reviewed and discussed the applications, with the goal of identifying approximately $30 million of projects to move forward to the next step in the project selection process. At its February meeting, the LaneACT membership reached consensus on a project list.
The projects will now be scoped by ODOT, and then reviewed with other Area Commissions on Transportation located in ODOT Region 2 to develop a set of projects to recommend to the OTC for funding. Region 2 comprises Lane, Linn, Benton, Lincoln, Polk, Marion, Yamhill, Tillamook, Clatsop, Columbia and western Washington counties.

The Browns have claimed undrafted rookie tight ends MarQueis Gray and Keavon Milton off waivers from the San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints, respectively.
CSNBayArea.com reported the addition of Gray, who also announced the news via Twitter. Two league sources confirmed the Browns also added Milton.
The Browns have also cut veteran tight end Kellen Davis, a league source confirmed for the Beacon Journal today.
The 6-foot-4, 250-pound Gray played quarterback and wide receiver for the University of Minnesota, but he has been trying to make it as a tight end in the NFL. Gray caught one pass for 13 yards in the preseason and was waived Saturday.
"Well it's been fun SF and thanks for all the love & support!" Gray wrote on Twitter. "Just got the word and now Off to Cleveland to start over!! Here we go #Browns."
The 6-4, 293-pound Milton played tight end for the University of Louisiana at Monroe. He tallied one catch for 10 yards in the preseason and was waived Saturday.

*runs around all happy*
This is so cool! Thank you HQ!! *hugs* I am soooo happy and so is Mom!!
Thanks friends and everyone!!!
Hi everyone,
Farrah's friends know, but I just wanted to inform all of my friends, that she is gone. Farrah passed almost two weeks ago. Mom is doing alright, but she is taking it hard. Now, I am the only one left, from the original four. Plus, Keifer and Gypsy Road are here now (my bros).
I was so hoping that she would pull through this, but she couldn't. The cancer was to strong and unfortunately, it won out. It took my favorite sister from me. I'm lost now. I'm not as active as I use to be, but I will overcome it, I hope. I do lash out at Gypsy Road, but that's about it.
I will always love you Farrah. You are my favorite.
Hi there all you crazy fans!!
I'm trying to be silly here, but this is a serious subject for me. As you all know, my sister, Farrah, has cancer. I'm scared. I may just tolerate her, but I love her and don't want to lose her.
Mom is not holding up well at all. She keeps breaking down during the day. Granted, it's not as often, but she still does it. She tries not to cry in front of Farrah, because she doesn't want her picking up on it, but it's hard for Mom to control.
There have been a lot of prayers said and I'm asking all my kitty friends and fans to pray for Farrah as well. I really do love my sister......a lot!!
I'm praying for you Sis! You hang in there and live for a long time.

The Gender and Science Reader. Muriel Lederman and Ingrid Bartsch, eds. xiv + 505 pp. Routledge, 2001. $90, cloth; $29.95, paper.
Athena Unbound: The Advancement of Women in Science and Technology. Henry Etzkowitz, Carol Kemelgor and Brian Uzzi (with Michael Neuschatz, Elaine Seymour, Lynn Mulkey and Joseph Alonzo). vi + 282 pp. Cambridge University Press, 2000. $74.95, cloth; $19.95, paper.
"Why are there still so few women scientists, especially at the upper levels of the scientific professions?" The opening lines of Athena Unbound ask this question, which is also central to The Gender and Science Reader. Despite many advances, and in contrast to very striking attainments in law, medicine and business, women have not achieved the same degree of success in science. Although more girls are studying science and excelling at mathematics, and although many more young women are interested in pursuing scientific studies in college and graduate school than in previous generations, this has not translated into a commensurate body of successful, mature women scientists. Not only does science provide a more precarious environment for women apprentices and practitioners than for men, its very content, according to many scholars of gender and science (including the contributors to The Gender and Science Reader), is affected by assumptions about masculinity and femininity. Both volumes ask how these assumptions have had an effect on scientists and their work. The Gender and ScienceReader casts its net widely, addressing these issues by bringing together essays by many scholars, including some of the most prominent writers on the subject. Athena Unbound focuses specifically on the questions of what problems women scientists currently face and what reforms are needed.
The Gender and Science Reader brings together 35 previously published essays spanning the full range of issues related to the participation of women in science and the effects of assumptions about masculinity and femininity on the content of scientific work. The first of six sections focuses on the experience of women as scientists today, combining first-person accounts of experiences in science with quantitative and longitudinal studies of aspects of women's careers ranging from undergraduate and graduate work to the evaluation of competitive grant applications. The next section, "Creating Androcentric Science," is a mix: Some essays argue that science became "male" in certain destructive respects during the scientific revolution and the Enlightenment. A statement on "Methods and Values" by the National Academy of Sciences is included, the editors tell us, because it says that cultural values can affect scientific work. And there is an essay by Sharon Begley on the Science Wars. In this section, and some of the others, there is an odd slippage between gender issues per se and the much more general issue of how cultural factors, broadly construed, affect scientific work. The next section provides a useful guide to the several different theoretical approaches people have taken in the study of gender and science. The final two sections suggest future directions for research and discuss how gender studies of science might have an impact on science itself.
One of the strengths of the book is that it makes available some well-known articles that have become rather difficult to obtain; I will therefore consider offering it to students as a supplementary text when I teach a course on gender and science next winter.Athena Unbound presents an interesting contrast to The Gender and ScienceReader. Although it has a much narrower focus, it seems to me to do a better job of meeting some of the books' mutual goals. It is one of the best studies I have read on contemporary issues relating to women's participation in science. The book is based on qualitative and quantitative studies of the difference between the experience of men and that of women in scientific education and professional life, particularly from graduate school onward.
However, it is not ideal as an introductory text. Many of the essays (indeed, the most substantial ones) are immersed in the language of gender studies—they are written neither for scientists nor for the general public. Some are fairly abstract. The editors' introductory passages don't do enough to make up for this—they seem hastily written and are hard to follow. And although some of the sections are just what they should be (the one on feminist methodologies, for instance, works very well), others, such as the one on women's participation in science, don't cohere, despite some excellent individual inclusions (for instance, the convincing account of problems in peer review by Christine Wenneras and Agnes Wold). Some of the articles that might have provided the most vivid, tangible sense of scientific issues are all too brief (such as Bonnie Spanier's "How I Came to This Study"). This matters because the most general ambition of the book, the introduction tells us, is to contribute to "a broader awareness of how science is shaped, that is, of the culture of science." This should in turn "open the way for a dialogue among and between scientists and all people." The volume is hampered, though, by its unevenness and, in parts, the inaccessibility of its prose.
Athena Unbound presents an interesting contrast to The Gender and Science Reader. Although it has a much narrower focus, it seems to me to do a better job of meeting some of the books' mutual goals. It is one of the best studies I have read on contemporary issues relating to women's participation in science. The book is based on qualitative and quantitative studies of the difference between the experience of men and that of women in scientific education and professional life, particularly from graduate school onward.
These findings are placed in several useful contexts. There is a nicely judged historical section, drawing on some of the best biographical studies of women scientists since the 18th century. In addition, the development (over the past few decades) of concern about the status of women in science and the different approaches to a solution are discussed. Several sections—the core of the book—trace the obstacles that confront girls and women who wish to study science. First an account (based on the secondary literature) is given of how differences in scientific interest and confidence are inculcated in boys and girls from early childhood through high school; this is followed by a discussion of graduate school and professional life that is based on original research.
Girls and women face an obstacle course of successive impediments at each stage of scientific study. Developmental research indicates that young girls are treated very differently from young boys by their parents—boys, for instance, are interrupted less at play and are expected to be (and become) more risk-taking than girls. By the age of four, American children have a male image in mind when they think of the figure of a scientist, as the authors' own research bears out. In elementary, junior high and high school, girls are expected to have more trouble than boys in science and mathematics classes. They are often encouraged by parents and teachers to give up when the math gets difficult.
Girls who finish high school enthusiastic about science usually report being inspired by an exceptional teacher. The same is true in college, where there are further "leaks" in the "pipeline"—a single bad experience can derail young women science majors much more easily than the men in their classes, and those who finish undergraduate work with an interest in graduate school usually have had the support and encouragement of a particular mentor.
The first few years of graduate school are then more precarious still, as women students are frequently marginalized from study groups and other informal gatherings; without these supports, it is harder to find a research topic, harder to come to understand the kind of product that is expected at the end of the Ph.D., harder to prepare for qualifying exams, harder to obtain disciplinary repute and credibility, and, of course, harder to maintain one's confidence.
After the Ph.D., women are much more likely than men to give their marriages higher priority than their postdoctoral positions and first jobs—when faced with the "two-body problem," they are more likely to be the ones to compromise, taking lower-prestige postdocs within commuting distance of their husbands. This makes it more difficult to obtain assistant professorships, which, of course, are even scarcer than postdocs for individuals with geographic restrictions. Finally, the conflict between professional life and family can become acute among women assistant professors, who agonize whether to postpone starting a family until after tenure (when it may be too late), to give up on the idea of children entirely or to risk tenure by having children earlier. The authors found that far fewer women than men had children before tenure and that there were disproportionately more childless women than childless men in tenured scientific positions.
I have given a very rough sketch of what the authors have laid out thoughtfully, with carefully chosen pieces of evidence, in a clear but nuanced style. I found Athena Unbound so gripping that I read it in one sitting. I expect that many women scientists, and their families, will find that it articulates as a general problem issues they have encountered in their own careers. Much of what is said here is true for academia more generally—I am a historian of science, not a scientist, and many of these issues affected me or my close friends. For instance, I risked my marriage by taking my first job on a different continent from my (academic) husband's and then postponed having a baby until I had finished my first book and had just received tenure. Two of my closest women friends, who began their assistant professorships when I did, chose to have children before tenure (one at an elite private science institute, the other at a state university) and were both turned down; it seems to them, and also to me, that our respective decisions about children were an important factor in each case. Athena Unbound quietly but definitively documents the consequences of such factors when they play out across the whole of science.
Both books under review have a campaigning message. The Gender and ScienceReader assumes and asserts that the kind of work it showcases will have a positive impact on science itself, in broad terms, whereas Athena Unbound calls for more specific, and perhaps more modest, results, in the form of particular changes in policy. I find myself concluding that the quieter approach of Athena Unbound in the end carries more conviction. Whether it will have the greater impact remains to be seen.

Volendam Review
Launched in 1999, for Volendam draws on the Holland America Line's incredible collection of artwork to enhance the ship's public spaces. Included are pre-Columbian fetishes and sculptures and Renaissance-era fountains imported from Italy in the hallway galleries.
The three-story atrium of the ship features an elegant sculpture inspired by the myriad of moods and colors of a kaleidoscope by Luciano Vistosi.
Similar in layout to Statendam-class vessels, these slightly larger sister ships introduced playful art and interior design theme elements to Holland America Line's classic vessels. Triple-deck atriums are distinguished by a fantastic—and fiber-optic-lighted—Murano-glass sculpture on Volendam and, in an attempt to be hip, an almost scary towering pipe organ on Zaandam.
The interior decor and much of the artwork found in each vessel has a predominant theme—Volendam centers on flowers and Zaandam around music. Look for Zaandam's collection of guitars autographed by famous musicians such as the Rolling Stones and a saxophone signed by former President Bill Clinton. The extra space in these ships allows for a larger specialty restaurant and a roomier feel throughout.
Holland America Line has enjoyed a distinguished record of traditional cruises, world exploration, and transatlantic crossings since 1873—all facets of its history that are reflected in the fleet's multimillion-dollar shipboard art and antiques collections. Even the ships' names follow a pattern set long ago: all end in the suffix dam and are either derived from the names of various dams that cross Holland's rivers, important Dutch landmarks, or points of the compass. The names are even recycled when vessels are retired, and some are in their fifth and sixth generation of use.
Noted for focusing on passenger comfort, Holland America Line cruises are classic in design and style, and with an infusion of younger adults and families on board, they remain refined without being stuffy or stodgy. Following a basic design theme, returning passengers feel as at home on the newest Holland America vessels as they do on older ones.

Bottom up, top down, or upside down?
How can we expect to change education when the people in charge don't really feel like doing much about it? Besides doing something to ease the criticism, and maybe to appease the harsher critics, why would the government want to make things really work in education? It's a known fact that the less educated you are, the easier it is for you to be manipulated. Sure, your brain may also play tricks on us when we are educated, and some might even be stubborn and refuse to change their minds. Nevertheless, we've got to admit that education is the only one thing that can open doors. It is the only one thing that can't be taken away from you. Cliché?! It's been said so often, that, yes, this might come across as cliché. But isn't it true?
Real change in education, or in any other industry, has got to come from the ideas of those who are involved in it. Yet, most people in charge of public education are not teachers. This goes way beyond principals, I'm talking about those who are responsible for letting principals and teachers work. Politicians who should be working to make it happen, are actually getting in the way of change. In Brazil, to be more specific, in Brasília, the capital of Brazil, there's always news about public schools that are about to be shut down simply because the building can't welcome students any longer. Whenever you turn on the TV, there are stories of schools whose windows don't open nor close – the ones which are open can't be closed when it rains, and the ones that are closed can't be opened when it's hot. Not to mention worse problems yet – bathrooms that don't work, schools with no food to serve to the kids, no water in the water fountains… and to think that those who went to public schools in Brazil 40 years ago (yes, a very long time ago), say that public education was actually better than the kind of education you could get in private schools.
Nowadays, if you'd like to give your children a chance in an educational system that puts kids through gruelling exams in order to have a chance to study at university, you're likely to do whatever it takes to send your student to private schools. One would think kids would be treated differently there. I once had the opportunity to meet a principal from a school in Australia when he came to talk at our language institute. When we were talking about how schools were in Brasília, he was shocked to hear that most private schools put about 50 students in a class. When he said that most of his teachers would refuse to teach if there were more than 20 students in a class, I was aghast at such thought. Having studied and taught in a school with 50 students per class myself, I couldn't believe it when I heard that teachers could have such a reaction. But it only makes sense.
Even though there might be fewer students per group in some public schools, teachers sometimes haven't got chalk to write on the board, and kids haven't been given a copy of the coursebook to work with in class. To make matters worse, there's absolutely no security in most of such schools, which leads to plenty of other problems such as drug trafficking, bullying, fights and others. When a principal finally gets the money to buy the computers and create a computer lab, more often than not the computers are stolen within a month. Now, how could we change such a chaotic situation?
I believe real change will only happen when teachers are really heard about their needs. They are the ones who are really there. They know the real deal. They know what it takes to start making changes, but… how would we expect anyone to really hear their complaints if those who are responsible for funding, and who should be working for the people, are oblivious to such a reality. What sickens me the most is seeing an interview on TV when they say that they're going to create a commission to investigate what needs to be done and that people shouldn't worry, that next year every thing is going to be fixed. And we all know, I guess, how the story ends. Year after year schools are shut down, and politicians say they'll build new ones. And that they do, but at what cost? The money that should be used to maintain schools goes straight to their pockets, and they make even more money when building new ones. They aren't concerned about education, they're concerned about the construction of more and more schools, as it's much easier to embezzle when they have these public constructions.
But then again, why would they want to promote any real change? Most of them send their kids to the best private schools in the country, and some even send their kids abroad. Of course they're going to say that everything is just fine in public schools. They don't depend on it. So, change that should be bottom up can't happen because those at the top don't know and refuse to see that lots of things have to be done. And change that could be top down also doesn't happen because… well, because they really don't want it to happen for many different reasons.
Isaac Asimov created the three rules for robots. Perhaps we should come up with three rules for politicians as well. I have a suggestion for such rules:
1. All politicians must have a university degree – Let's face it, there are pre-requirements for anything we want to do in life. You want to be a doctor, you've got to go through med school. You want to be a lawyer, law school it is. If you want to be an accountant, well, you have to study for that too. However, at least in Brazil, you can be a politician just by not being illiterate. I concede that having a degree isn't a guarantee of anything in terms of integrity and morals, but let's look at it from the following perspective: a legislator's job is to create laws, and laws can't be written or read and interpreted and then voted on if you can't really read AND understand what you've read.
2. All politicians must have their bank accounts public – If you've chosen to work in politics, you're supposed to have made this choice because you want to make things work for your country. You're paid by the people and you work for the people, and as a citizen I'd love to know exactly how much money I'm paying you.
3. All politicians must use public services – Schools, hospitals, and even public transport. Being a politician in charge of public education and sending your students to private schools is just like being the owner of a restaurant but never having your meals there. It's like being the owner of a school, but sending your kids to study in a different school. Well, if you don't trust your school enough to send your kids there, why would I send mine? Yet, this is what happens. It's only when politicians are forced to send their kids and family to public schools, to use public hospitals and to use public transport that they might start thinking about making real changes. Other than that, they'll just close their eyes to all problems.
If you ask me, I'd say that it's not bottom up nor top down. The whole system is upside down.

Hi Henrick, it's very true, and very sad. One thing I think I'll disagree with: politicians having to have a degree. As an extreme example, Mother Teresa didn't have one, not that she was a politician. I think this belief is a trap we can fall into where education is seen as a qualification and nothing more which, of course we all know, you don't agree with. But what you say is true: those who succeed in the system don't want it changed, and those who don't, can't change it.
November 28, 2010 at 9:52 am
Hi Henrick,
I hear you! We have damp on the walls and children without books in English class but we have shiny new laptops sitting in a cupboard that are never used and interactive whiteboards still in the packaging because nobody knows how to use them or can be bothered to learn. It's a frustrating system… and you're right about politicians and their children. All over the world they're the ones whose children go to private schools. Sure things would be different if their kids had to go to public schools.
November 29, 2010 at 6:52 pm
Hi Henrick:
In the U.S.–in most of the better public schools– there is a growing trend towards the diffusion of leadership roles in schools (see Dufour, R., Dufour, R., Eaker, R., (2008) Revisiting Professional Communities at Work; New Insights for Improving Schools).
Right now I'm teaching abroad in Taiwan, and I've never seen such hierarchical ways of doing things. I cannot get a rodent infestation problem fixed because if I jump ahead in the chain of command to complain, somebody gets in trouble. They're using textbooks rife with errors, but when I offered to call the publisher to explain the mistakes, all the teachers became terrified and insisted that I not do this from a school phone. They prefer that I do it after my contract is over, when I'm not at their school.
I have groups of over 50 student in a class. With mixed ability level classes, I find 50 is far too big a number.
Your post is about change from the bottom up as opposed to top-down. Eschewing politicians for a moment and focusing just on the schools themselves, I've got to ask you: In Brazil, do teachers and the people they work closely with (i.e. principals) have the power and autonomy to make real change? Are people so afraid of losing their jobs that they surrender their voices (as I'm observing here in Taiwan)?

Do you like 28 Barbary Lane ?
Join aNobii to see if your friends read it, and discover similar books!
Armistead Maupin's uproarious and moving Tales of the City novels--the first three of which are collected in the is omnibus edition--have earned a unique niche in American literature, not only as matchless entertainment, but as indelible documents of cultural change in the seventies and eighties.
When originally serialized in the " San Francisco Chronicle, Tales of the City" (1978), "More Tales of the City" (1980) and "Futher Tales of the City" (1982) afforded a mainstream audience of millions its first exposure to straight and gay characters experiencing on equal terms the follies of urban life.
Among the cast of this groundbreaking saga are the lovelorn residents of 28 Barbary Lane: the bewildered but aspiring Mary Ann Singleton, the libidinous Brain Hawkins; Mona Ramsey, still in a sixties trance, Michael "Mouse" Tolliver, forever in bright-eyed pursuit of Mr. Right; and their marijuana-growing landlady, the indefatigable Mrs. Madrigal.
Hurdling barriers both social and sexual, Maupin leads them through heartbreak and triumph, through mail-biting terrors and gleeful coincidences. The result is a glittering and addictive comedy of manners that continues to beguile new generations of readers.
With a foreword by the author.
Che dire? Ogni volta che rileggo Maupin mi sento a casa.... Certo forse dice alla nostra generazione ma resta pur sempre un "must read".....

I live in a fairly small town with slow speed limits throughout. I was driving through town with my kids yesterday evening when I drove past a police cruiser. The lights went, the cruiser made a quick U-turn, and I noticed I was driving 40mph in a 35mph zone. :blink: I know...regardless of how much, I was driving faster than the limit. After pulling over, I took off my sunglasses, shut the car off, and kept my hands at 12 o'clock on the steering wheel. The officer walked up and stood next to my rear, driver side door and asked for my license, etc. Not sure if it was just her normal approach or if it had anything to do with my CPL, but I don't recall an officer standing that far back from my window as she did in this instance. Since we're required by law to announce, I replied "I have a CPL, I have a pistol on my right hip, how would you like me to proceed officer?" Her response was a polite, but direct "Just hand me your license, ..."
She was very polite while I collected my information, even interacted with my wide-eyed kids a bit. After what seemed like forever, she came back up to my car, asked if everyone was buckled and in proper booster seats, and handed me my documents simply saying "just slow down." I was quite surprised, as I was expecting a ticket, and felt the entire experience was a positive one. Not sure if my kids being in the car made a difference, but based on other accounts I've heard and read I was honestly expecting to be disarmed. Definitely a thumbs up to the officer. :danceban:

Commissioner: 89 at FLETC tested positive for TB
DHS tight-lipped on immigrant deportation flights from Roswell
Eighty-nine out of 603 Central Americans housed at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia have tested positive for tuberculosis (TB), according to Eddy County Commissioner Royce Pearson, who attended a briefing held July 22 at the center by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials.
The July 22 meeting at FLETC was the first of a weekly Tuesday briefly that ICE officials are holding to update local public safety and elected officials. No information was available yet from the July 29 meeting.
Also attending the July 22 meeting were Artesia officials Phillip Burch, mayor; Don Raley, police chief; J.D. Hummingbird, fire chief; and Kenneth Randall, CEO of Artesia General Hospital (AGH). A positive skin test for TB indicates exposure and not necessarily an infectious condition. For example, a person who has received TB inoculations, such as a health care provider or missionary, will show a positive reaction.
TB is caused by a bacterium that usually attack the lungs, but TB bacteria can attack any part of the body such as the kidney, spine and brain. If not treated properly, TB can be [auth] fatal. TB is spread through the air from one person to another. The TB bacteria are put into the air when a person with TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, speaks or sings. People nearby may breathe in these bacteria and become infected. Tuberculosis was one of the leading causes of death in the United States in the early 20th century.
Currently, only four out of 100,000 Americans get the disease, while in Central American countries the rates are 10 times as high.
Pearson had posted on the KZ93 Radio in Artesia Facebook page a lengthy statement about his concerns on the health status of many of the illegal immigrants at the center. His Facebook post was circulated in emails that were sent to the Daily Record.
Pearson confirmed by telephone that he posted comments on the KZ93 Facebook page.
Pearson said he wants the federal government to be 100 percent transparent with all the activities at FLETC.
Pearson said in his post that so far, 89 individuals at FLETC have tested positive on the TB skin test.
"They are watching 12 individuals that have shown no active indications of TB," he wrote. "They have 23 that are scheduled for X-rays."
Pearson added there were eight cases of lice and two cases of scabies.
Pearson said he heard at the meeting that a 14-month-old child was sent to Lubbock for treatment for viral pneumonia and that another 15-year-old is being treated at Eastern New Mexico Medical Center in Roswell for pneumonia.
He said that a female was transported to Lovelace Regional Hospital in Roswell for problems related to her pregnancy. It was reported that she was no longer expecting a baby. An ICE official has not confirmed or denied that the mother miscarried.
The group at the July 22 meeting was told that, per legislative mandates, the medical facilities would be paid at Medicare rates and that ICE would not pay any co-pay.
Pearson said they were told at an earlier public hearing not to worry because the federal government would pay for everything.
On the government's lack of transparency for the positive for TB tests, Pearson wrote, "The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) website is not posting any of this!"
Brittany Behm, a spokeswoman for the CDC, said the Administration for Children and Families is the lead agency for unaccompanied children coming into the U.S. CDC is not involved in direct patient care of these children, she said.
Both of these agencies are a part of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Kenneth Wolfe, deputy director of HHS, has not responded to an email from the Daily Record.
Pearson said another problem is solid waste at the barracks housing the immigrants and that more dumpsters are needed.
On the evening of July 25, a bus with a Department of Homeland Security license plate was observed at the Roswell International Air Center. Jennifer Brady Griego, airport manager, confirmed that an outbound flight of illegals departed that day. She said DHS did not inform her of the flight nor was she told of the number of passengers on the manifest.
Mike Gregory, an air traffic controller at the airport, said, "No, they don't tell us [in advance] they come in when they come in. Not sure where they originate, probably, Dallas-Fort Worth. I think they are going to Guatemala."

Prototype 2 is one of those games you're going to either love or hate. There's really no grey feelings about a game like this. If you're a fan of pure action, where plotholes and random twists don't make you want to punch babies, you'll most likely love Prototype 2.
If you're more of the Mass Effect 3 hater crowd (you know, the kind that hate everything), Prototype 2 certainly won't make you feel satisfied. This is one of those games that requires you to turn off your brain, follow the story for what it's worth, unleash mayhem on everything around you, and yell "fuck yeah" with each decapitated monster.
Playing Prototype 2 for the story is like going to a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie for the acting.
For the record I was absolutely a fan of the original Prototype. In fact, I enjoyed it more than InFamous, a game that is oddly similar in more ways than you'd imagine. There's just something about the massive god complex that is Prototype 2. There are very few games that make you as powerful as this game does, and it's that simple aspect that makes it so much fun.
As you progress through the story, things don't go quite as he planned. Turns out there are a number of different actors at work, all of them practicing the well known philosophy of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". You'll encounter a ton of different enemies, several key influences, but most importantly a chance to murder your maker.
It was incredibly refreshing to play as a character who is not on anyone's side. Most likely because that's how I would most likely act.
Then there's the combat. Oh the combat. So crisp, so powerful, so bloody. It's a rad-filled burrito covered in awesome sauce. You gain the ability to sprout claws, have a whip, grow tendrils, hulk smash, and wield a massive blade. The way these are acquired is simple: devour the entity that possesses these abilities.
Yes - I said devour. If it's a boss-type enemy, you'll only need to lower their health then press the appropriate button when it appears. The following cinematic will undoubtedly fill your real-life adrenaline meter as heads go flying and Heller becomes more powerful. If it's a simple peeon, all you need to do is grab them and press devour. You'll not only gain health from this, but you'll also earn the right to wear their skin as a suit.
Not their actual skin, but you'll be dressed like their character.
|Heller dressed as this dude
You can even throw cars at helicopters, hijack any armored vehicle (including helis), jump over buildings, run at super speed, glide through the air, block rockets back at enemies, and slam into the ground from the sky creating a massive explosion.
Excited yet?
Thought so.
Here's the thing: Prototype 2 is nothing more than a rare steak wrapped in bacon covered in meat gravy. In other words, it's a whole bunch of badass. Is it going to win any awards on a 'Food Network' show? Absolutely not. It doesn't satisfy all the appropriate categories. Does it taste delicious and make you wish you wore your stretchy pants? Hell-freaking-yeah.
And honestly, that's all we should really care about in this life.
We rate our games out of 5 stars. This one got 4.5 (math is hard). This review was based off a full-game playthrough on a copy that was not given to us. Yes, we bought it with our hard-earned money.

Consumers, doctors and the pharmaceutical industry: more transparency for a healthier relationship (Guest Blog)
If we want patients to trust the medicines they take, to trust the doctors, nurses and other professionals who treat them, it is key that all decisions are made in their best interest. To do so, full transparency is the answer.
Transparency means a lot to consumers. Our motto is that transparency should always be the default option. We advocate for limpidity at all levels, for all stakeholders and in all sectors of the economy and of society. Transparency in the pharmaceutical sector is even more vital than in others because it is all about people's health.
Let's face it, pharma companies, just like any other business, need to sell their products. Sales generate funds to keep the company afloat and also to finance research. It is paramount by the way that research and development should focus on developing new medicines that have a real added value and meet unmet medical needs. In any case, product promotion must be tightly controlled.
As such we welcome EFPIA's voluntary code to disclose transfers of value from pharmaceutical companies to health care professionals and organisations. We firmly believe that the veil should be lifted on payments, gifts and other treats drug makers offer to drug prescribers.
As a consumer organisation, we can only applaud such commitment for transparency. Only a few countries – including Portugal – regulate disclosure of financial ties between the pharma sector and healthcare professionals. Those transparency initiatives from companies aim to ensure a common level playing field across the EU.
However, these rules can only be effective if every single health care professional and pharmaceutical company across the EU strictly complies with them. Should voluntary initiatives fail expectations, EU-wide legislation will be the only way forward in the long run.
All health care professionals have the right to defend their privacy. However, if they want to play the game and uphold their patients' confidence, they had better play by the rules and disclose industry funding. Those who value privacy over transparency can continue to do their work, but without industry sponsorship.
