Ryan White CARE Act: Health Resources and Services Administration’s Implementation of Certain Provisions Hampered by Lack of Timely and Accurate Information

By: Marcia Crosse

Under the Ryan White CARE Act, funds are made available to assist over 530,000 individuals affected by HIV/AIDS. Grantees directly provide services to individuals or arrange with service providers to do so. The Health Resources and Services Admin. (HRSA), which administers CARE Act programs, is required to cancel balances of grants that are unobligated after one year and redistribute amounts to grantees in need. Under the CARE Act, states and territories receive grants for AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAP), which provide HIV/AIDS drugs. This report reviews: (1) HRSA's implementation of the unobligated balance provisions; (2) HRSA's actions to collect client-level data; and (3) the status of ADAP waiting lists. Charts and tables.

Ryan White CARE Act

Implementation of the New Minority AIDS Initiative Provisions

By: Marcia Crosse

The Ryan White CARE Act makes fed. funds available to assist individuals affected by HIV/AIDS. Because minorities have been disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS, the Act's Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) provides funding with the goal of reducing HIV-related health care disparities among minorities. The reauthor. of CARE Act programs changed the process by which grants are made from a formula based solely on demographics of the metro. area, state, or territory to a competitive process. This report provides info. on: (1) the effect on grantees and service providers of the new competitive process for awarding funds; (2) the types of services grantees funded under MAI; and (3) barriers to minorities obtaining services from HIV/AIDS programs.

Teens in Transition from Learning to Earning

By: M. Marcia Butts-Schwartz Ph.D.

The writer has determined through her needs assessment that one of the greatest needs in Philadelphia today is a job readiness program for teenagers. By most measures, teenagers have a difficult time in the labor force. Specifically, their unemployment rate is the highest of all the age groups. The types of jobs they hold have limited prospects, and their wages are low. The group most in need of help is minority female teens, and one of the area most in need is West Philadelphia. Therefore, the writer, with the help of an advisory committee and with the cooperation of the school principal, Dr. Davis Martin, completed plans for such a program. The job readiness program was presented at the University City High School to a group of minority teens. The various phases of the program were presented by the writer and other professionals. These young people from the West Philadelphia Community received great benefit from this project. It is the writers hope that the results of this social action will be of help to other areas of the city. The writer hopes also that this program may eventually become city wide.

DB2 Workload Manager for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

By: Whei-Jen Chen,Bill Comeau,Tomoko Ichikawa,S Sadish Kumar,Marcia Miskimen,H T Morgan,Larry Pay,Tapio Vaattanen,IBM Redbooks

DB2 Workload Manager (WLM) introduces a significant evolution in the capabilities available to database administrators for controlling and monitoring executing work within DB2. This new WLM technology is directly incorporated into the DB2 engine infrastructure to allow handling higher volumes with minimal overhead. It is also enabled for tighter integration with external workload management products, such as those provided by AIX WLM. This IBM Redbooks publication discusses the features and functions of DB2 Workload Manager for Linux, UNIX, and Windows. It describes DB2 WLM architecture, components, and WLM-specific SQL statements. It demonstrates installation, WLM methodology for customizing the DB2 WLM environment, new workload monitoring table functions, event monitors, and stored procedures. It provides examples and scenarios using DB2 WLM to manage database activities in DSS and OLTP mixed database systems, so you learn about these advanced workload management capabilities and see how they can be used to explicitly allocate CPU priority, detect and prevent "runaway" queries, and closely monitor database activity in many different ways. Using Data Warehouse Edition Design Studio and DB2 Performance Expert with DB2 WLM is covered. Lastly, the primary differences between Workload Manager and Query Patroller are explained, along with how they interact in DB2 9.5.

Song of the Bones

By: Marcia Preston

What would you do if the man living in your house isn’t really your husband but a look-alike? Thelma Patterson, local postmistress and Chantalene's surrogate aunt, retains Drew Sander's legal services to declare her long-missing husband legally dead. An oil company wants to lease her land for exploration, and she needs to clear the title. But when Drew makes inquiries into the disappearance of Billy Ray Patterson, Billy Ray shows up back in Tetumka—and moves in with Thelma. The townsfolk remember Billy Ray and find the situation amusing. Except for Thelma, that is, who swears to Chantalene that this man is not her missing husband. Thelma’s afraid to confront him and begs Chantalene for help. Chantalene is the only one who believes her. To convince Drew—and the law—that the man in Thelma's house is an impostor, they must find out what happened to the real Billy Ray. Chantalene follows a cold trail to New Mexico where she finds evidence that the man is indeed Billy Ray Patterson—which means the man Thelma married years ago was somebody else. But who? And why? Then things turn sinister. A dark pick-up runs her off the road at night, and the evidence disappears. Billy Ray turns up dead. Thelma is accused of his murder. In searching out the truth, Chantalene uncovers a bogus oil company, the high-stakes scam of an Indian-owned casino, and a mafia-style family who wants her silenced, permanently.

Creating Contexts for Learning and Self-authorship

Creating Contexts for Learning and Self-authorship

Constructive-developmental Pedagogy

By: Marcia B. Baxter Magolda

This book is intended to help college faculty create conditions in which students learn to construct knowledge in their disciplines and achieve self-authorship. A significant and often overlooked dimension mediating learning and self-authorship centers on learners' ways of knowing, or their assumptions about the nature, limits, and certainty of knowledge. A learner who assumes that all knowledge is certain expects to hear answers from an authority figure; in contrast, a learner who views knowledge as relative expects to explore multiple viewpoints. By taking a constructive-developmental approach, the author demonstrates how students' ability to construct knowledge is intertwined with the development of their assumptions about knowledge itself and their role in creating it. She shows how the structure of constructive-developmental teaching hinges on three principles: validating students' ability to know, situating learning in students' experience, and defining learning as teachers and students mutually constructing meaning. The book also takes abstract pedagogical principles and translates them into practical approaches.--

Families That Work

Policies for Reconciling Parenthood and Employment

By: Janet C. Gornick,Marcia K. Meyers

Parents around the world grapple with the common challenge of balancing work and child care. Despite common problems, the industrialized nations have developed dramatically different social and labor market policies—policies that vary widely in the level of support they provide for parents and the extent to which they encourage an equal division of labor between parents as they balance work and care. In Families That Work, Janet Gornick and Marcia Meyers take a close look at the work-family policies in the United States and abroad and call for a new and expanded role for the U.S. government in order to bring this country up to the standards taken for granted in many other Western nations. In many countries in Europe and in Canada, family leave policies grant parents paid time off to care for their young children, and labor market regulations go a long way toward ensuring that work does not overwhelm family obligations. In addition, early childhood education and care programs guarantee access to high-quality care for their children. In most of these countries, policies encourage gender equality by strengthening mothers' ties to employment and encouraging fathers to spend more time caregiving at home. In sharp contrast, Gornick and Meyers show how in the United States—an economy with high labor force participation among both fathers and mothers—parents are left to craft private solutions to the society-wide dilemma of "who will care for the children?" Parents—overwhelmingly mothers—must loosen their ties to the workplace to care for their children; workers are forced to negotiate with their employers, often unsuccessfully, for family leave and reduced work schedules; and parents must purchase care of dubious quality, at high prices, from consumer markets. By leaving child care solutions up to hard-pressed working parents, these private solutions exact a high price in terms of gender inequality in the workplace and at home, family stress and economic insecurity, and—not least—child well-being. Gornick and Meyers show that it is possible–based on the experiences of other countries—to enhance child well-being and to increase gender equality by promoting more extensive and egalitarian family leave, work-time, and child care policies. Families That Work demonstrates convincingly that the United States has much to learn from policies in Europe and in Canada, and that the often-repeated claim that the United States is simply "too different" to draw lessons from other countries is based largely on misperceptions about policies in other countries and about the possibility of policy expansion in the United States.

Trophies and Dead Things

By: Marcia Muller

When a former sixties radical is murdered during a string of random sniper attacks, the All Souls Legal Cooperative must settle his surprisingly large estate. Then private investigator Sharon McCone comes across a new will, made just days before he died, that disinherits his two children in favor of four unknown and unconnected parties. McCone sifts through Perry Hilderly's belongings but finds little to explain this puzzling change. That is, until she uncovers a .357 with the serial number burned off. As McCone tracks down the new beneficiaries she discovers that the shootings aren't so random after all and that the dead man isn't the only one with a lurid past. To link the heirs to the killings, she must follow a treacherous trail of evidence that travels from the Vietnam years to the present. But along the way the elusive sniper waits in a homicidal rage and takes aim—this time at All Souls and Sharon McCone.

In Quest for Conception, Marcia C. Inhorn portrays the poignant struggles of poor, urban Egyptian women and their attempts to overcome infertility. The author draws upon fifteen months of fieldwork in urban Egypt to present moving stories of infertile Muslim women whose tumultuous medical pilgrimages have yet to produce the desired pregnancies.

Anthropology and Public Health

Bridging Differences in Culture and Society

By: Robert A. Hahn,Marcia C. Inhorn

Many serious public health problems confront the world in the new millennium. Anthropology and Public Health examines the critical role of anthropology in four crucial public health domains: (1) anthropological understandings of public health problems such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, and diabetes; (2) anthropological design of public health interventions in areas such as tobacco control and elder care; (3) anthropological evaluations of public health initiatives such as Safe Motherhood and polio eradication; and (4) anthropological critiques of public health policies, including neoliberal health care reforms. As the volume demonstrates, anthropologists provide crucial understandings of public health problems from the perspectives of the populations in which the problems occur. On the basis of such understandings, anthropologists may develop and implement interventions to address particular public health problems, often working in collaboration with local participants. Anthropologists also work as evaluators, examining the activities of public health institutions and the successes and failures of public health programs. Anthropological critiques may focus on major international public health agencies and their workings, as well as public health responses to the threats of infectious disease and other disasters. Through twenty-four compelling case studies from around the world, the volume provides a powerful argument for the imperative of anthropological perspectives, methods, information, and collaboration in the understanding and practice of public health. Written in plain English, with significant attention to anthropological methodology, the book should be required reading for public health practitioners, medical anthropologists, and health policy makers. It should also be of interest to those in the behavioral and allied health sciences, as well as programs of public health administration, planning, and management. As the single most comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of anthropology's role in public health, this volume will inform debates about how to solve the world's most pressing public health problems at a critical moment in human history.

Denver Inside and Out

By: Michael Childers,Shawn Snow,Jeanne E. Abrams,Azusa Ono,Rebecca A. Hunt,B. Erin Cole,Marcia Tremmel Goldstein,Betty Jo Brenner,Cheryl Siebert Waite,Melanie Shellenbarger,Eric L. Clements

Denver turned 150 just a few years ago--not too shabby for a city so down on its luck in 1868 that Cheyenne boosters deemed it "too dead to bury." Still, most of the city's history is a recent memory: Denver's entire story spans just two human lifetimes. In Denver Inside and Out, eleven authors illustrate how pioneers built enduring educational, medical, and transportation systems; how Denver's social and political climate contributed to the elevation of women; how Denver residents wrestled with-and exploited-the city's natural features; and how diverse cultural groups became an essential part of the city's fabric. By showing how the city rose far above its humble roots, the authors illuminate the many ways that Denver residents have never stopped imagining a great city. Published in time for the opening of the new History Colorado Center in Denver in 2012, Denver Inside and Out hints at some of the social, economic, legal, and environmental issues that Denverites will have to consider over the next 150 years.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Response to Heparin Contamination Helped Protect Public Health; Controls That Were Needed Were Recently Added

By: Marcia Crosse

In early 2008, the FDA responded to a crisis involving the contamination of heparin, a medication used to prevent and treat blood clots, when the agency received multiple reports of adverse events involving severe allergic reactions. The crisis took place from January 2008 through May 2008, during which time FDA took several actions in its response to the crisis. This report reviewed FDA's management of the heparin crisis. This report examines: (1) how FDA prevented additional contaminated heparin from reaching U.S. consumers; (2) how FDA coordinated its response to the contaminated heparin crisis; and (3) FDA's monitoring and analysis of adverse events associated with heparin. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand report.
