This court-based innovation became a path to healthy development for babies in foster care, a bridge to unprecedented collaboration among the New York City Family Court, child welfare system, and service providers and merged knowledge about child development with court and child welfare practice. This article tells the story of the Babies Can't Wait Initiative,its creation, implementation, successes, and lessons. [source] Building Bridges over Troubled Waters: Merit as a GuidePUBLIC ADMINISTRATION REVIEW, Issue 4 2006Patricia Wallace Ingraham The federal civil service has developed in fits and starts, with specific reforms fashioned in reaction to the particular political considerations of a given time. Yet the concept of merit has remained a central, albeit malleable, sometimes neglected, and perhaps quaint ideal. Reinvention, efficiency, and effectiveness must honor excellence and the notion of public service as a calling.

[source] Interfacing biocatalysis and organic synthesis,JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY & BIOTECHNOLOGY, Issue 12 2007Roland Wohlgemuth Abstract The path to new chemical entities often shows the limitations of existing tools both in biocatalysis and organic chemistry. Organic synthetic procedures to prepare a compound in a target-oriented synthesis can damage other functional parts of the molecule. Protection,deprotection schemes can lead to a dead end, when a certain protecting group cannot be cleaved off. In biocatalysis, on the other hand, the required biocatalytic toolbox and methodology might not be readily available, therefore limiting a biocatalytic approach. New toolboxes, ingredients, and methodologies at the interface of classical organic synthesis and biocatalytic reactions bridge the gap between these two areas. Since product isolation and purification involves a substantial amount of time in the preparation of chemicals, methodologies to simplify these tasks are necessary to get the pure product into the bottle with less work-up time. Efficient and safe new pharmaceuticals, intermediates and analytical reagents need to be prepared under certain safety, health, environmental and economical boundary conditions. Biocatalytic reactions have been shown to overcome these limitations successfully and are becoming increasingly important in industrial manufacturing. Building bridges between biocatalysis and organic synthesis will therefore create roads to new synthetic strategies and technological frontiers of both fundamental and practical interest.

[source] Educational performance and attitudes toward school as risk-protective factors for violence: A study of the Asian/Pacific Islander Youth Violence Prevention Center,PSYCHOLOGY IN THE SCHOOLS, Issue 8 2010Eldon L. Wegner The purpose of this study was to examine whether school experiences, school performance, and other risk-protective factors were related to violence among Hawaiian, Filipino, and Samoan youths residing in Hawai'i. This study analyzed survey data (N = 325) collected in three high schools having concentrations of Filipino, Hawaiian, and Samoan youths, as well as a smaller number of Japanese students, which served as a comparison group. The analyses consisted of bivariate and multivariate analyses of risk protection for violence. Two- and three-way interactions were tested to examine whether there were specific gender and/or ethnic effects. The final model explained 29.3% of the variance in violent behavior. Five variables were significant: grade point average, pressure to choose between school and friends, favorable school attitude, feeling safe, and importance of college. Schools serving these populations should focus on fostering positive bonds between teachers and students and building bridges to families and neighborhoods. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
