Authors: Makruf Solihan
Published: January 2017

In the modern era bankings are not only collecting funds from the society and distributing them as loans. It is important for us to observe whether the activities are halal or not from Islamic perspective. Therefore, it is important to build dependable islamic bankings with high Islamic law awareness. The study has three research questions. They are: 1) How is the practice of fiduciary guarantee in Bank SyariahMandiri Kota Malang? 2) What is the perspective of National Sharia Board of MUI on fiduciary guarantee in Bank Syariah Mandiri Kota Malang? 3) How is the execution of fiduciary guarantee as the consequence of debtor’s failure in paying their debt in Bank Syariah Mandiri Malang?The study employs sociological or empirical law method. It is an approach to analyze an effectively established legislation or law.It analyzes qualitatively the implementation of fiduciary guarantee in Bank Syariah Mandiri Kota Malang. The dataconsists of primary data from interviews and secondary data from the library study. The writer uses descriptive analytical data analysis.

Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa pelaksanaan jaminan dan eksekusi jaminan fidusia terhadap barang jaminan tidak sesuai dengan hukum yang ada dari perspektif hukum positif tentang jaminan fidusia dan dari perspektif hukum islam yang didasarkan pada fatwa Badan Syariah Nasional. Kesimpulannya, Bank Islam sering melakukan kesalahan pada prosedur eksekusi jaminan fidusia. Dari analisis tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa prosedur jaminan fidusia dan eksekusinya di Bank Syariah Mandiri Kota Malang tidak sesuai dengan hukum yang ada.

Marine Bacteria from Eastern Indonesia Waters and Their Potential Use in Biotechnology
Authors: Tapilatu Yosmina H
Published: January 2017

Indonesian vast marine waters, which constitute 81% of the country’s total area, have a great potential in terms of marine bacteria biodiversity. However, marine bacteria are still under-explored in Indonesia, especially in its eastern area. Known as one of the biodiversity hotspots worldwide, this area surely harbors various marine bacteria of particular interest. Despite the growing number of oceanic expeditions carried out in this area, only little attention has been attributed to marine bacteria. Limited literatures exist on the isolation of marine bacteria producing compounds with potential biotechnological applications from the aforementioned waters. There are two main causes of this problem, namely lack of infrastructures and limited competent human resources. In this paper, I will highlight the preliminary results of isolation and bioprospecting attempts on this group of bacteria during the last fifteen years. These results indicate that research activities on marine bacteria in this area need to be intensified, to uncover their potential applications in various biotechnological fields.Keywords: marine bacteria, eastern Indonesian waters, biotechnological application

EFFECT OF GAMMA IRRADIATION ON THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF SAGO PALM (Metroxylon sagu Rottb.) CALLI
Authors: Riyadi Imron , Sumaryono Sumaryono
Published: January 2017

The application of gamma irradiation on plant materials may increase the genetic variation of the offspring with useful traits. The experiment was conducted to determine the effect of irradiation dosage of gamma ray on growth and development of sago palm (Metroxylon sagu) calli. Friable calli of sago palm derived from suspension culture were used as a material source. The primary calli were initiated from apical meristematic tissues of sago palm suckers of Alitir variety from Merauke, Papua. The treatments used were dosage of gamma ray irradiation at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 Gy. The treated calli were then subcultured on modified Murashige and Skoog (MMS) solid medium containing 3% sucrose and 0.1% activated charcoal and added with 1 mg l-1 2,4-D and 0.1 mg l-1 kinetin. The results showed that at all irradiation dosages, calli biomass increased significantly. The highest proliferation of calli biomass of 5.33 folds from the initial culture after 4 weeks was achieved at gamma irradiation of 25 Gy, whereas the lowest proliferation of calli biomass of 3.4 folds was achieved at control. The best development of embryogenic calli was obtained at 10 Gy that produced 100% somatic embryos, whereas the lowest somatic embryo formation at 0% was obtained at 0 and 25 Gy after one subculture. High response of somatic embryo induction to gamma irradiation at 10 Gy may increase production of somatic embryos. These results can be used in in vitro breeding of sago palm via mutagenesis to create new elite varieties.
Seleksi dan Adaptasi Tiga Spesies Unggul Jamur Kuping (Auricularia spp.) untuk Dataran Medium
Authors: Djuariah Diny
Published: January 2017

Jamur kuping merupakan salah satu sayuran yang mempunyai peranan penting sebagai sumber gizi masyarakat dan sebagai sumber ekonomi, rata-rata hasil jamur kuping petani masih rendah (< 500 gr/log). Penyebabnya antara lain karena penangkar benih sebar tidak menggunakan benih strain unggul berkualitas dan benih sebar diperbanyak diturunkan berkali-kali sehingga potensi daya hasil jamur kuping semakin menurun. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut perlu melepas dan menyebarluaskan benih strain unggul jamur kuping pada pengguna. Namun sebelum melepas strain unggul perlu melakukan seleksi dan adaptasi calon strain unggul jamur kuping di 3 lokasi dataran pada musim kemarau. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendapatkan strain unggul jamur kuping untuk dataran medium, kualitas baik dan produksi tinggi. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan yaitu Rancangan Acak Kelompok dengan 6 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan. Perlakuan terdiri atas 6 nomor yang diuji yaitu JK1, JK2, JK3, JK4, JK5 dan JK6 (sebagai pembanding). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa JK4, JK5 dan JK6 merupakan strain unggul jamur kuping untuk dataran medium yang disukai konsumen dan produksi tinggi (> 500 gr/log).

Interdisciplinary research and education programmes in water science are intended to produce groundbreaking research, often with an emphasis on societal relevance, and prepare future water resource experts to work across disciplines. This paper explores the emerging outcomes from an ongoing doctoral programme currently in its seventh year. Within the programme, there is both cross-disciplinary and mono-disciplinary research. Three questions are explored: (i) whether cross-disciplinary research leads to more innovative scientific findings than mono-disciplinary research, (ii) whether cross-disciplinary researchers develop professional skills that benefit their future careers, and (iii) whether cross-disciplinary research produces findings of greater societal relevance than mono-disciplinary research. Various indicators are used to measure research and education outcomes. Analysis of journal impact factors and citation rates of Institute of Scientific Information indexed publications suggests that cross-disciplinary research findings are more innovative. Comparison between graduate research profile and their career destinations suggests that researchers who learn to work across the disciplines continue to work this way in their post-doctoral positions. Analysis of media interest in research findings or their impact on policy suggests that both types of research are of societal value, but researchers often expand their understanding of a societal interest topic by bringing in new research fields.
Effect of anaerobic digestion and liming on plant availability of phosphorus in iron- and aluminium-precipitated sewage sludge from primary wastewater treatment plants
Authors: Alvarenga Emilio , Øgaard Anne Falk , Vråle Lasse
Published: January 2017

More efficient plant utilisation of the phosphorus (P) in sewage sludge is required because rock phosphate is a limited resource. To meet environmental legislation thresholds for P removal from wastewater (WW), primary treatment with iron (Fe) or aluminium (Al) coagulants is effective. There is also a growing trend for WW treatment plants (WWTPs) to be coupled to a biogas process, in order to co-generate energy. The sludge produced, when stabilised, is used as a soil amendment in many countries. This study examined the effects of anaerobic digestion (AD), with or without liming as a post-treatment, on P release from Fe- and Al-precipitated sludges originating from primary WWTPs. Plant uptake of P from Fe- and Al-precipitated sludge after lime treatment but without AD was also compared. Chemical characterisation with sequential extraction of P and a greenhouse experiment with barley (Hordeum vulgare) were performed to assess the treatment effects on plant-available P. Liming increased the P-labile fraction in all cases. Plant P uptake increased from 18.5 mg pot−1 to 53 mg P pot−1 with liming of Fe-precipitated sludge and to 35 mg P pot−1 with liming of the digestate, while it increased from 18.7 mg pot−1 to 39 and 29 mg P pot−1 for the Al-precipitated substrate and digestate, respectively. Thus, liming of untreated Fe-precipitated sludge and its digestate resulted in higher P uptake than liming its Al-precipitated counterparts. AD had a negative impact on P mobility for both sludges.
The Resistance of Slave in Colonial Era toward Surapati by Abdoel Moeis
Authors: Yasa I Nyoman , Santoso Anang , Roekhan -
Published: January 2017

This descriptive qualitative research is done based on slave and slavery problem in Indonesia in literary work. It is executed by using deconstruction technique, and it has the goals to describe: (1) The relation between colonials and colonialized people in Surapati novel and (2) The resistance of slave to the employer, and (3) The characteristics of Surapati novel in postcolonial perspective. The result of this research shows that the relation between colonials and colonialized people, it is between Dutch and Indonesian indigene is an unbalanced relation. Dutch’s domination toward indigene is shown through Dutch’s prejudices toward indigene, animal stereotyping to indigent, and skin color discrimination which is constructed by colonial. Dutch viewed themselves are more civilized than indigene because they have white skin color, otherwise indigene have black skin color, or not white. This point of view is reconstructed in their mind and attitude, so there is a stereotype that indigene is uncivilized, negligent, lazy, and like an animal (monkey). The impact of this domination (discrimination, racism, and marginalization) makes indigene perform resistance. Resistance is done by slave/indigene in form of mimicry, and mockery that mocking Dutch colonial as an effort to destroy their power. The mimicry and mockery show the hybrid attitude of slave/indigene, so the discourse that is constructed in Surapati novel is ambiguous. So that, in postcolonial perspective this novel can be said having ambiguous characteristics. In one side it constructs opponent discourse, but in another side it is hegemonies by colonial discourse.

Fragments of the American Dream: Immigration, Race, and Medical Care in the Segregated South, 1929
Authors: Phillips John R
Published: January 2017

The cover photograph for this issue of Public Voices was taken sometime in the summer of 1929 (probably June) somewhere in Sunflower County, Mississippi. Very probably the photo was taken in Indianola but, perhaps, it was Ruleville. It is one of three such photos, one of which does have the annotation on the reverse “Ruleville Midwives Club 1929.” The young woman wearing a tie in this and in one of the other photos was Ann Reid Brown, R.N., then a single woman having only arrived in the United States from Scotland a few years before, in 1923. Full disclosure: This commentary on the photo combines professional research interests in public administration and public policy with personal interests—family interests—for that young nurse later married and became the author’s mother. From the scholarly perspective, such photographs have been seen as “instrumental in establishing midwives’ credentials and cultural identity at a key transitional moment in the history of the midwife and of public health” (Keith, Brennan, & Reynolds 2012). There is also deep irony if we see these photographs as being a fragment of the American dream, of a recent immigrant’s hope for and success at achieving that dream; but that fragment of the vision is understood quite differently when we see that she began a hopeful career working with a Black population forcibly segregated by law under the incongruously named “separate but equal” legal doctrine. That doctrine, derived from the United States Supreme Court’s 1896 decision, Plessy v. Ferguson, would remain the foundation for legally enforced segregation throughout the South for another quarter century. The options open to the young, white, immigrant nurse were almost entirely closed off for the population with which she then worked. The remaining parts of this overview are meant to provide the following: (1) some biographical information on the nurse; (2) a description, in so far as we know it, of why she was in Mississippi; and (3) some indication of areas for future research on this and related topics.
Engaging Women in Public Leadership in West Virginia
Authors: Kunz Karen , Staton Carrie M
Published: January 2017

As the 113th Congress begins to tackle the issues of the day, men and women alike celebrate the inclusion of a record number of women representatives. The historic numbers indicate progress, but the reality is that women compose slightly more than half of the national population but less than twenty percent of the national legislative representatives. Women fare slightly better at the state level, holding just under a quarter of state legislative seats and executive offices. In this study we explore the challenges faced and advances made by women in attaining statewide executive office in rural states by examining how they have fared in Appalachia and particularly West Virginia. We integrate theoretical understandings and statistical data with lived experiences gleaned from personal interviews conducted with the women who have held executive office in West Virginia.
Information Is Power: Women as Information Providers to the President’s Budgeting Men; A History of the Bureau of the Budget Library, 1940-1970
Authors: Lee Mordecai
Published: January 2017

Quietly tucked within the elite agency exercising the president’s power of the purse was a little-known in-house library. Given that information is power, the women of the library of the US Bureau of the Budget collected, cataloged and disseminated information to the bureau’s male budgeteers. This article traces the history of the budget bureau’s library, which has been largely overlooked in the literature, including the extended career of its chief administrator, Ruth Fine, who headed it from 1940 to 1972. Starting her career during the era of the “spinster librarian” and anti-Semitism in the professions, she rose to have a long-time management career as the Bureau’s library director.
Case Study #4: Star Trek by Gene Roddenberry
Authors: Nichols Ken
Published: January 2017

Star Trek began as a 1960s television series led by a swashbuckling starship Captain, an intellectual off-world first officer, and a multicultural, heart-of-gold crew. In the third of a century since its appearance on our home screens, the series Gene Roddenberry created has become a world-wide phenomenon.Star Trek is also a rich treasure trove of administrative literature: The setting — usually a starship, sometimes a planetary government organization. The characters are clearly delineated, colorful, share common goals, distinguish between their personal and professional roles and concerns, and serve well as archetypes for distinct organizational personalities. And the missions are clear, benevolent, in the public interest, and frequently controversial.As you watch an episode of one of the four Star Trek series, how many of these facets can you observe?That’s public administration, all right, but in a very different wrapper
Office Space as Hyperreality— Using Film as a Postmodern Critique of Bureaucracy
Authors: Alexander Robert , Kochheiser Steven
Published: January 2017

In this essay, we contend that the study of popular films serve as a valuable tool in understanding postmodern critiques of public administration. As cultural artifacts,their themes provide great insight into the culture from which they originate. Filmsserve as a means of understanding public perceptions of bureaucracy at a given time and place. Through a critical examination of the film Office Space, we analyze postmodern critiques emphasizing the psychology of bureaucracy among its members. We find that analysis of such films can be powerful pedagogical devices. We argue that films such as Office Space exacerbate negative public perceptions of bureaucracy, thus creating receptive audiences to those elected representatives who wish to vilify administrative agencies. Finally, we conclude by encouraging scholars to continue analysis of popular culture in order to appreciate its latent effects upon public organizations.
Classical Corruption: Hugo van Arckel , Dike Warden of the Krimpenerwaard, and the Corruption of His Time
Authors: Wagenaar Pieter
Published: January 2017

Burgomaster Hugo van Arckel had saved Schoonhoven. When this small Holland town had become part of the Dutch Republic’s battle front during the 1672-1678 war against France, it was he who had almost single-handedly prevented it from giving itself up. Unsurprisingly, Stadtholder Prince William III of Orange, supreme commander of the Army and Navy and the Republic’s most influential public official at that moment, rewarded Van Arckel handsomely by bestowing several important offices on him. Four years later the one-time hero was tried and sentenced for corruption. What had happened in the meantime? Most contributions to this special issue of Public Voices apply a neo-classical perspective to corruption: Corruption scandals are studied to shed light on underlying value conflicts. The authors try to find out how corruption is constructed, at a certain moment, and why. Yet, there are far more theory clusters dealing with corruption. We will first take a look at these theory clusters, next analyze Van Arckel’s downfall, and then see which cluster is most suitable.
Reconstructing Operatic Melodrama – Lyricism and War, Lessons for Creating My Opus Sectile
Authors: Patterson Valerie
Published: January 2017

In this article, Valerie Patterson employs what she refers to as “lyrical visioning” – a useful tool for garnering support for claims that may or may not be true – to review several successful strategies used by the Bush administration to secure support for the invasion of Iraq. By assessing the utility of “the hook” that in Hip Hop music and Opera is used to “grab” people and make them like or remember the melody, and in President Bush’s political rhetoric was used to reconstruct and repackage tactics that can be perceived as deceptive by some, the author argues that the repetitive utterance of certain words and concepts could explain the acceptance by many Americans that the WMD claim was a truthful assertion and thus validated and legitimized the decision to engage in a preemptive strike against the people of Iraq.

Trying to Save the Garden: What if “Rat Choice” Hadn’t Invaded Public Policy and Public Administration? A Public Administration Satire
Authors: Garrett Terence M
Published: January 2017

In the following satire, the author argues that an obnoxious pest has overtaken traditional public administration and is known by a variety of different names including “public choice,” “rational choice,” and “principal-agent theory” (all collectively known here as ‘rat choice’) that has invaded the “garden” of public administration and policy. What if a super-potent rodent killer had been developed to suppress the loss and damage of the fruits and vegetables in the garden? A more truly democratic administration may have been more firmly established in the 20th Century. Public policies today also might be bearing more fruit for all of society instead of being eaten away by wealthy individuals and corporations solely interested in material wealth and not the public interest.

The Beatles, the Beatles Generation, and the End of the Cold War
Authors: Misheva Vessela
Published: January 2017

An effort to rationalize history brought the Western world to perceive the “velvet,”“bloodless” revolutions that swept Eastern Europe as arising from the fact that people there had become painfully aware of the conditions in which they lived and the shortcomings of the system they had built. The author of this article argues instead that it was those young East Europeans who early in childhood failed to fall in love with the social system in large numbers who, when they finally came of age, put an end to the Cold War, and not because they were dissatisfied with the economic conditions, but because they wanted to put an end to the world’s East-West division. But how could people with “different” minds grow up inside the communist system, and how could they miss going through the standard process of communist socialization? To answer these questions, the author explores the hypothesis that Beatlemania, along with The Beatles themselves, may have contributed in a significant way to the collapse of the communist regimes in Eastern Europe.
The Politics of Aesthetics

An examination of the role that art and aesthetic activity have played in the affairs of state can be useful in shaping a framework for a discussion of the more specific issue of the interrelations between music and political life. The following discussion focuses on the manner in which the Russian avant-garde aesthetic movement gradually coalesced with the centrally planned construction of Soviet-style society in the efforts to build a new way of life and a new type of human being in accordance with the developing practice of the Communist-led revolution.
The Suppression of the Music of Ionian Islands by the Modern Greek State: Culture that did not Fit the Political Agenda
Authors: Minas Adamantios Dionysios
Published: January 2017

Music plays an important role in social integration, often providing the vehicle for how one culture reinterprets itself in another. However, as in the case of the Ionian Islands, a peoples’ ability to incorporate outside influences and produce local culture may find itself at odds with the more nationalistic purposes of the state. The Ionian Islands came to be part of the Greek state without enduring the yoke of occupation by the Ottoman Empire or suffering in the wars that preceded the Greek free state. Therefore, the Ionian culture, in particular its popular music, has been made obscure by political elites who defined Greece as the benevolent opposite of its enemies, as the center of civilization and therefore without cultural influences – a definition that Ionian music, influenced by Italian settlers, did not meet.

Serving the Public in the 21st Century
Authors: Johnson Gail , Feldheim Mary Ann
Published: January 2017

The values, attitudes and behaviors of servant leadership are consistent with the public service ethic which values empowerment, justice and fairness in society, and community building achieved through participation; the attitude of stewardship; and the behaviors of compassion, love, sacrifice, and civic duty/service.  We are beginning to see the application of servant ledership in public agencies and it may be our best hope to reengage citizens.  Processes reflecting the values, attitudes, and behaviors of servant leadership enable public administrators to facilitate dialogue are available, such as Appreciative Inquiry and Open Space Technology.  While information technology makes it possible to involve citizens from across a state in dialogues via interactive TV, we find the authoritarian model of leadership hard to let go.  But if we are to develop a servant-leadership model, new skills are needed.  We will need to engage in authentic communication, to interact with others with positive regard and respect, and to collaborate in problem solving.  Servant leadership offers individuals in public service who value empowerment, justice, community building and stewardship the tools to achieve these values.
Serving for Fun and Profit: A Critique of Servant Leadership
Authors: Patterson Patricia M
Published: January 2017

The servant leadership approach is worthy of examination for its potential benefits to a public administration in sore need of respite from the concerns of mere efficiency.  Yet readers will find here an assertive critique of "servant leader" traits and visions.  After an inquiry into the empathy often attributed to the practice of servant leadership, the essay will go on to deliver a hearty objection to the conceptual masking of hierarchies servant leadership pretends to undo.  Finally, it will suggest the status of servant leadership as theology rather than theory.  In the final analysis, readers will be cautioned away from seeing the "servant leader" as the personification of a useful or essential paradox.  In the long run, servant leadership seems a management consulting and marketing slogan with the potential to make executives and would-be leaders feel nicer, accomplishing little else public administrators should esteem.
Suffer the Servants
Authors: Zinke Robert C
Published: January 2017

Servant Leadership is a problematic concept--at worst, a coercive tool in the hands of sectarian groups or the politically powerful; at best, a condition of individual choice filled with uncertainty and perhaps pain.  This essay elaborates and justifies the problems and paradoxes associated with the concept.
Case Study #6: The Garbage Collector by Ray Bradbury
Authors: Nichols Kenneth
Published: January 2017

Often we take for granted the services that our taxes pay for and that our government — whether local, state, or federal — provides. We also take for granted the people who make those services a part of our everyday lives. Like us, those unsung workers have families, homes, work ethics, career and retirement expectations, and the worries of daily life. Ray Bradbury gives us a picture of just such a worker — a civil servant — who might be someone who actually lived and worked almost anytime since “The Garbage Collector” was written more than a half century ago.
The Prince, His Welfare State, and its Administration
Authors: Rutgers Mark
Published: January 2017

The philosophy of Chistiaan Von Wolff (1679-1754) provided the foundations for administrative thought throughout the eighteenth century. He is an important representative of the idea the Enlightened State. It is surprising that an author so fundamental for the development of the administrative dis­course has become so completely forgotten in the history of the field. Due to the philosopher Immanuel Kant, Wolff became a reviled and forgotten author. It can, however, be argued that Wolff lays the foundations for liberal ideas in the 19th century and many present-day concepts in the field. His work learns that the idea of public administration roots in a more compre­hensive philosophy on state and society.
Public Administration in the Social Reform Movement
Authors: Hoffman M. Curtis
Published: January 2017

At the start of the 20th century, social reform competed with structural reform for the hearts and minds of urban reformers. Public administration scholarship has long recognized P A's roots in the structural reform tradition. In contrast, P A's rela­tionship to the social reform tradition has remained obscure. This exploration in the history of ideas shows that social reform rejected many principles upon which public adminis­tration now rests, and advanced many alternative concepts in their stead.

Film makers in India cash in on the negative stereotypes of the corrupt, incompetent and uncaring bureaucrat. The assault on the public servant in mainstream cinema is incessant and devastating. Most films feed on the negative and dysfunctional aspects of bureaucracy.

Applying Existential Philosophy and Popular Culture Images to Ethics: The Case for Fullmetal Alchemist
Authors: Sementelli Arthur
Published: January 2017

Japanese animated series Fullmetal Alchemist provides a scheme to begin organizing and discussing the often-implicit questions that have existed and continue to exist among discussions of ethics in Public Administration. Pairing this scheme with the work of Jaspers (1955, 1971) affords the opportunity for scholars and practitioners to understand, visualize, and potentially reconcile these phenomena under an established philosophical umbrella. Additionally, this pairing demonstrates a valuable pedagogical tool for both scholars and their students of administrative ethics.
Global Concern and Local Practice: an Interdisciplinary, Empowerment Collection of Immigrant/Migrant Hispanic Voices Used to Implement Community-University Collaborative Actions in Suburban Settings
Authors: Kim Sister Angela , Burke Stephen C
Published: January 2017

Utilizing a community-based participatory research mode (CBPR), a local university completed a needs assessment study of an emerging immigrant population’s service needs and perceived barriers for accessing services in their suburban community settings. The study participants included: (1) one hundred and fourteen Hispanic immigrant residents participating in twelve bi-lingual facilitator-led focus-group sessions, (2) eighteen community service providers, and (3) nine Hispanic community leaders. All three groups identified common unmet service needs in the areas of health care, ESL education, and social services as well as the lack of bi-lingual social workers/mental health staff and bilingual interpreter staff in service agencies as major barriers to service provision and access. The study findings point to the benefits of university-community collaborations when advocating for the creation of community intra- and inter-structures that support the development of services in suburban and small city settings for the influx of Hispanic immigrant/migrant populations.

Visions of Good Governance: Through Artists’ Eyes
Authors: Lewis Carol W.
Published: January 2017

This article is designed for teaching about the importance of culture for transmitting ethical norms and beliefs. The focus is on the link between ethical behavior and political power and the allegorical representation in popular culture of ethics as a battle between good and evil. Public art most often supports the ruling regime and is intended to underwrite the rulers’ ideology and legitimacy. Three sets of murals spanning six centuries illustrate how public art communicates the epoch’s authoritative view of the ethical foundations of good governance and, conversely, the immoral basis and undesirable consequences of bad governance.

Taking the Census by Francis William Edmonds, 1854
Authors: Edmonds Francis William
Published: January 2017

The United States Census of 1850 was the first such survey in this country to require that heads of households provide information on their dependents. The process of interrogation caused a good deal of confusion and inspired numerous jokes. Francis William Edmonds's amusing portrayal features a father making a painstaking effort (counting on his fingers) to give the whitebearded census taker his family statistics, while his giggling children hide from sight. A reviewer who saw the picture at the national Academy of Design exhibition in 1854 described the main character as a "farmer, rough and awkward, reckoning in brown study the number of the boys and girls, evidently more at home in the use of the ox-gad, which lies on the floor, than in figuring." The small portrait print of George Washington just above the father's head evokes not only the genesis of the country's democratic political system but also the by then legendary admonition never to tell a lie. With its carefully delineated interior based on prototypes from Dutch genre scenes, the composition reveals Edmonds at his finest, taking a common moment from the daily life of middle-class Americans and turning it into a moralizing and socially critical tableau.Information taken from http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/2006.457 on May 25, 2012
Nobody to Run to Anymore
Authors: Guiler Jeff , Motley Darlene
Published: January 2017

This fictionalized account serves as a vignette describing changes that are occurring in western PA government. This still heavily unionized part of the country has been slower to develop changes seen elsewhere in the country, in business environments, and now in government structures. This paper depicts patronage, nepotism, and advancement based more on entitlement than merit as being replaced by a performance-based process that is still experiencing some hiccups.
