TOPOGRAPHICAL FEATURE OF HIGH JcYBa2Cu3Ox SUPERCONDUCTOR
Authors: LIU A. S. , REN H. T. , XIAO L.
Published: November 2004

Melt-textured growth of polycrystalline YBa 2 Cu 3 O x superconductor using directional solidification created a compact texture consisting of large plate-shaped crystals aligned preferentially parallel to the a – b conduction plane and many ordered parallel growth steps perpendicular to the growth direction of the YBa 2 Cu 3 O x crystal. The new microstructure, which completely substitutes the previous granular and random structure in the sintered bulk materials, exhibits significantly enhanced transport J c values of 23800 A/cm 2 at 77 K and in a H = 2 Tesla field.
RELATIVISTIC CORRECTIONS TO BALLISTIC QUANTUM TUNNELING THROUGH Ga1−xAlxAs BARRIERS
Authors: CRUZ H. , HERNANDEZ-CABRERA A. , MUÑOZ A.
Published: November 2004

Analytical solutions of a Dirac-type equation as effective mass equation. for electrons are obtained and by means of these solutions we have analytically calculated the relativistic transmission coefficient for quantum electron ballistic tunneling through Ga 1−x Al x As -GaAs single barriers. This solution for the transmission coefficient is applied to the tunnel injector of a hot electron device finding that relativistic corrections yield small but significant shifts in the transmittance-voltage characteristics.
FINITE-RANGE SCALING IN THE KAC MODEL
Authors: PRIVMAN VLADIMIR
Published: November 2004

The Kac model of 1d chain of spins with exponentially decaying interactions is considered within the finite-range scaling formulation. It is found that with appropriate definitions, the thermodynamic and correlation properties are universal with the finite-size in high-dimensional mean-field Ising models.
LATTICE DYNAMICS OF α-LiIO3
Authors: JIANG YIMIN , LIN HONG , GOU CHENG , NIU SHIWEN
Published: November 2004

The phonon dispersion curves of α- LiIO 3, which exhibit a characteristic molecular crystal behaviour, are calculated on the basis of a modified rigid-ion model in which a Born-Mayer potential is used for short-range repulsive interactions between Li ions and [Formula: see text] groups and a central force constant model is used for internal interactions in the [Formula: see text] group. The computed phonon frequencies are in good agreement with those of Raman, infrared and neutron measurements. The calculations show a strong mixing of the pre-normal modes given by Crettez et al.,4 therefore indicating that the long-range Coulomb force may change greatly the assignments previously obtained from a force-field model.
EXTREMELY LOW DENSITY OF STATES IN CePd7
Authors: SERENI J. G. , TROVARELLI O. , SCHAF J. , SCHMERBER G. , KAPPLER J. P.
Published: November 2004

The low temperature specific heat and magnetic susceptibility measurements, up to room temperature, on CePd 7 are reported. The Sommefeld coefficient γ and the Pauli susceptibility χo were found to have the lowest values within the Ce compounds: γ = 9.8 mJ/mole K 2 and χo = 0.14 × 10−3 emu/mole . The ratio χo/γ = 0.014 emu K 2/ J is that of a free electron, instead of an intermediate valence system (0.036 emu K 2/ J ). Such a value suggests complete delocalization of the Ce 4f electrons.
BRAID GROUP REPRESENTATION AND FRACTIONAL QUANTUM HALL EFFECT
Authors: TING CHRISTOPHER , LAI C. H.
Published: November 2004

We discuss Laughlin's ground state and its derivation in the path integral approach. When the external magnetic field is very strong, we regard all electron-electron interactions such as the Coulomb term as weak perturbations. It seems that from the non-trivial topology of the configuration space alone, it is possible to arrive at a Hamiltonian for which Laughlin wavefunctions are exact ground states.
NEW VARIATIONAL APPROACH TO THE PERIODIC ANDERSON MODEL WITH ANTIFERROMAGNETIC ORDER
Authors: STRACK RAINER , VOLLHARDT DIETER
Published: November 2004

We propose a new variational wave function for the periodic Anderson model in the case of antiferromagnetically ordered f-electrons. Expectation values in terms of this wave function can be calculated analytically in arbitrary dimensions d. The wave function automatically produces the exact limiting behavior of the ground state energy for weak hybridization and strong f-electron interaction in the symmetric case, which the Gutzwiller wave function fails to do. Several additional improvements are discussed. Thereby one obtains a wave function that leads to extremely good ground state energies for the periodic Anderson model for arbitrary U in all dimensions d.
EXCLUDED VOLUME EFFECTS IN THE PHYSICS OF CHEMORECEPTION
Authors: WIEGEL F.W.
Published: November 2004

We derive an explicit formula for the rate with which a spherical cell with a large number of receptors in its outer membrane captures ligands which have a non-vanishing excluded volume. These corrections to the Berg-Purcell formula, which neglects excluded volume, turn out to be quite small in most cases of practical interest.
ORDER INDICES AND MID-RANGE ORDER
Authors: COLEMAN A.J. , YUKALOV V.I.
Published: November 2004

We introduce a novel notion, order indices of reduced density matrices, characterizing different types of order, long-range as well as mid-range, occurring in statistical systems. The order indices define the behaviour of the largest eigenvalues of density matrices in the thermodynamic limit. These indices are especially useful for describing mid-range order, where they are directly connected with the large-distance asymptotic forms of off-diagonal density matrices. Several examples illustrate the idea.
EPITAXIAL GROWTH OF YTTRIA-STABILIZED ZIRCONIA FILMS ON SILICON BY R.F. MAGNETRON SPUTTERING
Authors: SU Q.X. , LI L. , ZHAO Y.Y. , ZHANG Y.Z. , XU P.
Published: November 2004

Yttria-stabilized Zirconia(YSZ) films were deposited on (100)Si substrates by R.F. magnetron sputtering method. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the best YSZ films were cubic in structure and was grown epitaxially with (100) orientation. The (200) peak of YSZ films was 0.8° of the full width at half of the maximum, X-ray diffraction based on Seemann-Bohlin focusing geometry showed no peaks. The morphology of the YSZ films was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The effects of the processing conditions (such as substrate temperature, oxygen partial pressure, etc.) on the structure of the film were also discussed.
TWO WEAKLY COUPLED HEISENBERG CHAINS—SOLUTION IN CONTINUOUS LIMIT
Authors: TSVELIK A.M.
Published: November 2004

Using the bosonization procedure proposed for the spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain in Ref. 8 we obtain the effective Hamiltonian for the system of two weakly coupled Heisenberg chains with the XXZ anisotropy as the sum of two sine-Gordon Hamiltonians. It appears that this simple system reveals a rather rich variety of properties in different regions of anisotropy. We calculate the spin-spin correlation functions; two-spin correlation functions decay exponentially but there are regions where the four-spin correlation functions decay as a power law. In particular, if both the inter- and intrachain exchange interactions are isotropic and the interchain exchange is ferromagnetic correlations of the chirality field χ= S 1× S 2 (the indexes 1 and 2 numerate the chains) are enhanced and their correlation functions follow a power law. In this case coupling between pairs of chains can lead to chiral ordering in three dimensions.
ACCESS CONTROL STRATEGIES FOR COORDINATING TEAMS OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERS
Authors: STOVSKY MICHAEL P. , WEIDE BRUCE W.
Published: November 2004

The difficult-to-achieve goal of a software project manager's access control policy is to help coordinate the work of the team members — to maximize cooperative access to project artifacts such as source code while preventing interfering and destructive forms of access. Solutions to two problems that arise from current approaches to access control are discussed:

• How much information about the software being built is needed to develop and support effective access control strategies?

• How can access control strategies be applied not just to the work of programmers and designers, but to all members of the software project team?

A key element in answering these questions is a model of software in which each component has separate specification and implementation. This model further distinguishes structural from behavioral aspects of a specification. An access control framework which exploits these distinctions and relies on the structural (but not the behavioral) facet of specification is explored. The framework supports a number of different access control policies. The specific policy selected depends upon management's objectives in coordinating programmers and other members of the team such as technical writers. The combination of the software model, a developments environment that is based on it, and a flexible access control tool that supports many feasible policies can result in a greater degree of team members' concurrent access to components without the problems often associated with such access.
COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY COLUMN 11

The first ten Computational Geometry Columns were all printed in ACM SIGACT News; some also appeared in Computer Graphics, the newsletter for ACM SIGGRAPH. Starting with this eleventh column, it will be printed in both SIGACT News and the International Journal of Computational Geometry & Applications. I have collected the first ten columns in a Smith Technical Report for new readers, free for the asking.

As usual, this column is problem-oriented: I report on progress on two old problem, immobilizing a shape and clamping a polygon, highlight two problems from recent papers, on compliant motion planning and binary space partitions, and mentions some new problems on the combinatorics of arrangements.
ON THE NORMAL PARAMETERIZATION OF CURVES AND SURFACES
Authors: GAO XIAO-SHAN , CHOU SHANG-CHING
Published: November 2004

A set of parametric equations of an algebraic curve or surface is called normal, if all the points of the curve or the surface can be given by the parametric equations. In this paper, we present a method to decide whether a set of parametric equations is normal. In addition, we give some simple criteria for a set of parametric equations to be normal. As an application, we present a method to find normal parametric equations for conics. We also present a new method to find parametric equations for conicoids, and if the parametric equations found are not normal, the missing points can also be given.
THE RAYCASTING ENGINE AND RAY REPRESENTATIONS: A TECHNICAL SUMMARY

Published: November 2004

Solid modeling is computationally intensive. Thus far its use in industry has been limited mainly to simple parts and simple applications, and this is not likely to change much until 'massive' computing power can be made available at an affordable cost. The RayCasting Engine is one specialized source of 'massive' computing power for solid modeling, and it is but the simplest member of a potentially large family of 'classification computers'.

The RayCasting Engine (RCE) is a highly parallel, custom-VLSI computer that classifies grids of parallel lines against solids represented in CSG. The sets of parallel 'in' segments that the RCE produces are called ray representations (ray-reps); they can be thought of as sampled boundary representations. Ray-reps are obviously useful for graphics and mass-property calculation. Less obviously, they are surprisingly versatile if one exploits special properties – for example, boolean combination of solids by interval operations on ray-reps – and the fact that ray-reps are cheap to compute. Overall, the combination of a 'new' representation scheme (ray-reps) and a fast custom processor (the RCE) is changing our approach to solid modeling. We are now seeking 'brute force' solutions to problems, and are finding that some previously intractable problems – for example, spatial sweeping and offsetting – are effectively computable and easy to program. This paper summarizes the genesis and principles of the RCE, some important properties of ray representations, and some exemplary applications of the (ray-rep, RCE) combination.
GENERALIZED MEHLER SEMIGROUPS AND ORNSTEIN–UHLENBECK PROCESSES ARISING FROM SUPERPROCESSES OVER THE REAL LINE

Filming the anti-Japanese war: the devils and buffoons of Jiang Wen’s Guizi Laile
Authors: Ward Julian
Published: November 2004

This article outlines the chequered history of Jiang Wen’s Guizi laile/Devils on the Doorstep (2000), including discussion of his adaptation of You Fengwei’s story ‘Shengcun’ (‘Getting By’), and the adverse reaction in China following the film’s
winning of the Cannes Grand Jury Prize in 2000. The article argues that Jiang, far from intending to portray the Chinese people as foolish collaborators, as charged by the Chinese Film Bureau, instead made a film that set out to show the absurdity and arbitrary cruelty of war. Discussion on
films made in China about the anti-Japanese war in the 1980s, as well as Yangguang canlan de rizi/In the Heat of the Sun (1994), Jiang’s only other film as director, reveals how Jiang sought to move away from the simplistic conventions of Socialist Realist film-making, adopting a more
challenging approach to a subject that remains all too sensitive in China.
New cinemas from Asia
Authors: Lim Song Hwee
Published: November 2004

It can be argued that the most exciting contemporary cinemas in the last decade or so have emerged from Asia. The combined forces of the three new waves in the Chinese world – mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong – since the early 1980s have produced established masters
like Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Edward Yang, Ang Lee, Tsai Ming-liang, Stanley Kwan and Wong Kar-wai, as well as the new visions of Jiang Wen, Jia Zhangke, Liu Bingjian, Chang Cho-chi, Lin Cheng-sheng, Yee Chih-yen, and Fruit Chan. Iranian cinema, led by Abbas Kiarostami and
the Makhmalbaf family, revives humanism and realism with its deceptively simple aesthetics. More recently, the booming industries of South Korea and Thailand, alongside always-thriving Bollywood, fascinate with their idiosyncratic variations on generic forms.
An unheard story? The challenge for radio studies in Italy
Authors: Menduni Enrico
Published: November 2004

This article intends to provide a survey of the sparse research done on Italian radio, within a historical framework, and in particular to investigate the reasons why for so long it has been subjected to specific ‘high brow’ academic interests and areas. While in Britain
and in the United States of America the debate about radio has been characterized most obviously by a perceived opposition between public service and commercial broadcasting, discussion in Italy has by contrast been framed first by an assumed dichotomy between literary, humanistic culture
and broadcasting, and later between radio and television. Now deregulation, globalization and new technologies provide or require new models of communication, and are offering an opportunity for researchers to bridge this gap in a wider multidisciplinary and transnational academic community.
Burnishing the brand: Todd Storz and the total station sound
Authors: McCourt Tom , Rothenbuhler Eric W.
Published: November 2004

This article examines the development of Top 40 radio by Todd Storz and Mid- Continent Broadcasting in the years following World War II. Our findings, based on recent interviews we have conducted with Storz employees, challenge the received wisdom concerning Top 40’s development
and practices. Previous accounts infer that Top 40 marked an abrupt, almost instantaneous break with previous radio programming practice; that on-air talent chafed under its tightly prescribed scheduling; and that Top 40 specifically targeted the burgeoning teenage audience, primarily through
rock-and-roll music programming. We find, instead, that Top 40’s development was gradual; that deejays at Storz stations readily embraced the format, and that Storz stations, rather than seeking specific demographic segments, sought to re-aggregate the mass audience for radio. We argue
that Top 40 radio was conceived in mechanistic, rather than aesthetic, terms. Each Storz station functioned as a well-oiled sales machine; the intention was to sell the station-as-brand to advertisers, rather than promote individual records or personalities to audiences.
'The Radio Conference: A Transnational Forum'. University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI, USA. 28–31 July 2003
Authors: Garner Ken
Published: November 2004

Apart from one or two areas of debate, the show was pretty much a consensual act of worship of its object of study. And there was something in the nature of this shared enthusiasm that was a bit like radio itself. Just consider some of the many things on which delegates were agreed.
That radio, while resisting serious analysis because of its ordinariness and continuous presence, derives its very importance in our lives from this quality of immediacy, or live-ness. That radio cuts deep into the social and cultural contexts in which it arises. And that consequently its
still largely shrouded history is just beginning to reveal how it has been exploited in different places to mask or magnify various cleavages - social, political, ethnic, linguistic, geographical or generational - in the pursuit of nationalist or commercial ends. How even in supposedly mature
and liberal radio cultures, the medium has been an engine driving through respectability and consensus, the values of the professional centre of society, at the expense of the exorcizing of apparently troublesome, marginal or aberrant groups.
Analysis of γ-hydroxybutyric acid, DL-lactic acid, glycolic acid, ethylene glycol and other glycols in body fluids by a direct injection gas chromatography-mass spectrometry assay for wide use
Authors: Van hee Paul , Neels Hugo , De Doncker Mireille , Vrydags Nicolas , Schatteman Katinka , Uyttenbroeck Wim , Hamers Nicole , Himpe Dirk , Lambert Willy
Published: November 2004

Analysis of blood of severely intoxicated patients always requires prompt investigation. Diagnosis of intoxication with ethylene glycol, γ-hydroxybutyric acid or D-lactic acid takes hours, since several different procedures are required. Rapid derivatization of the common hydroxyl function may resolve this analytical problem.

Here we describe a fast method for the simultaneous measurement of ethylene glycol, glycolic acid, γ-hydroxybutyric acid and racemic lactic acid. Only 20 µl of serum, plasma or urine are required for immediate derivatization at 70°C with 750 µl of bis-N,O-trimethylsilyl trifluoroacetamide after adding 20 µl of internal standard solution (1,3-propylene glycol) and 20 µl of the catalyst dimethylformamide. After centrifugation an aliquot is transferred to a gas chromatographic system and analyzed with electron-impact mass spectrometry in selective ion monitoring mode.

The derivatized acids and ethylene glycol are well separated and detected with a limit of detection ranging from 0.12 mg/l for ethylene glycol to 0.95 mg/l for γ-hydroxybutyric acid, while the limit of quantification ranged from 0.4 mg/l for ethylene glycol to 3.15 mg/l for γ-hydroxybutyric acid. The method is linear from 0.5 to 1800 mg/l blood for ethylene glycol, from 0.7 to 1200 mg/l for lactic acid, from 1.2 to 1800 mg/l for glycolic acid, and from 3.2 to 200 mg/l for γ-hydroxybutyric acid, with analytical recoveries, accuracy, day-to-day and within-day precision well within the required limits. Total analysis time with one calibrator was 30 min, derivatization time included.

This method is very suitable for emergency toxicology, since several toxic substances can be quantified simultaneously in a fast and sensitive manner.
Interventions for Suicide Survivors: A Review of the Literature
Authors: Jordan John R. , McMenamy Jannette
Published: November 2004

Mourning after suicide is frequently a difficult experience. Research suggests that suicide survivors may be at elevated risk for several psychiatric and somatic complications. Despite this, very little research has focused on developing and empirically evaluating clinical interventions for this population. This paper attempts to stimulate interest in intervention research by reviewing three relevant areas: (a) studies of the perceived needs of survivors; (b) implications of the research on general bereavement interventions for work with survivors; and (c) research documenting the efficacy of specific interventions for adult survivors. Recommendations for future studies are discussed.
Substance Use, Suicidal Ideation and Attempts in Children and Adolescents
Authors: Wu Ping , Hoven Christina W. , Liu Xinhua , Cohen Patricia , Fuller Cordelia J. , Shaffer David
Published: November 2004

Using data from a community sample of youth (N = 1,458; ages 9–17), this study assessed the association between adolescent substance use/abuse and suicidal behaviors. Suicide attempts were strongly associated with alcohol abuse and dependence, followed by frequent cigarette smoking. The associations remained significant even after controlling for depression. The associations between substance use/abuse and suicidal ideation were no longer significant after controlling for depression. These findings highlight the important role that substance use plays in adolescent suicidal behaviors.
Temporal Variation in Irish Suicide Rates
Authors: Corcoran Paul , Reilly Marie , Salim Agus , Brennan Aline , Keeley Helen S. , Perry Ivan J.
Published: November 2004

Using Irish suicide data for the period 1990–1998, the independent effects of month and day adjusting for age, gender, and calendar year effects and distinguishing between holiday and working Mondays were assessed. The male suicide rate was significantly higher on working Mondays (+31%) and Saturdays (+14%), and during April, June, and August (+17%), after adjustment for the other variables. In contrast, female suicide rates were higher only in August (+35%) and exhibited no day effect. Teenage men had a greater elevation of risk on Saturdays, Sundays, and both working and holiday Mondays than any other group. The study findings should be taken into account in the planning of specialized health care services and helplines for suicidal people. Furthermore, the findings provide support for Gabennesch's (1988) broken promise theory and the relationship between dysfunctions of the serotonergic system and suicidal behavior.
Representation and Reality in the Study of Culture
Authors: Bowlin John R. , Stromberg Peter G.
Published: November 2004

The contemporary debate over the scientific status of ethnographic inquiry is best regarded as a dispute between realist and antirealist treatments of truth and representation. Drawing on some of the work of philosopher Donald Davidson, this essay argues that both treatments are flawed. It concludes that the controversy about cross‐cultural truth claims is misconceived and unproductive when carried out in epistemological terms. In fact, the disagreements are largely moral and political and would be more productively discussed in precisely those terms.

Unraveling the Anchoring Cord: Navajo Relocation, 1974 to 1996
Authors: Schwarz Maureen Trudelle
Published: November 2004

The Navajo‐Hopi Land Settlement Act slated 10,000 Navajo for relocation off land partitioned to the Hopi. In the Navajo philosophical system, such forced relocation constitutes a breach of personhood; it ruptures relocatees' inalienable connections to their matrilineal homes, actuated through burial of their umbilical cords and other acts. Owing to the reciprocal nature of relations between the Navajo and the earth, the long‐term debilitating effects are far‐reaching. The well‐being of Mother Earth is just as dependent on the care of those given stewardship over particular locales as Navajo are on the continuing nurturance of their mother, the earth.

Green Dots, Pink Hearts: Displacing Politics from the Malaysian Rain Forest
Authors: Brosius J. Peter
Published: November 2004

Recent years have witnessed the progressive envelopment of environmental politics within institutions for local, national, and global environmental governance. Such institutions inscribe particular forms of discourse, simultaneously creating certain possibilities and precluding others, privileging certain actors and marginalizing others. Apparently designed to ameliorate environmental destruction, these institutions may in fact obstruct meaningful change through endless negotiation, legalistic evasion, and compromise among “stakeholders.” More importantly, however, they insinuate and naturalize a discourse that excludes moral or political imperatives in favor of indifferent bureaucratic and technoscientific forms of institutionally created and validated intervention. Drawing on Rappaport's insights about “the subordination of the fundamental to the contingent and instrumental” (in “The Anthropology of Trouble”), I examine this process of institutional development with reference to an international rain forest campaign that focused on Sarawak, East Malaysia, from the late‐1980s to the mid‐1990s, [environmentalism, institutionalization, governmentality, rain forest politics, Sarawak (Malaysia)]
Land, Stories, and Resources: Discourse and Entification in Onabasulu Modernity
Authors: Ernst Thomas M.
Published: November 2004

Resource development may involve codifications of social organization that alter preexisting arrangements. This is the case in Onabasulu society today, impacted by Chevron's petroleum extractions nearby and the codifications of collective life introduced by multinationals and the State of Papua New Guinea alike. Located on the Great Papuan Plateau of Papua New Guinea, Onabasulu “clans” are largely an artifact of a certificate‐based incorporation process and do not preexist the era of petroleum development. This “entification” of clans is matched by an entification of ethnic groups, which previously enjoyed soft (or “thick”) rather than hard (or sharp) edges and boundaries. Various discourses—lineage histories, myths, other stories—are best viewed as instruments that political actors—the Onabasulu as a people, various clans, various individuals—use to embrace, contest, or manipulate the new codifications as these actors strive to position themselves competitively in relation to resources in an era of nationalist and capitalist penetration. “Land, Stories, and Resources” argues for a discourse‐centered political ecology of Onabasulu modernity, one that recognizes the political and discursive roots of human‐land relations in an unfolding and open‐ended history predicated on an emerging politics of difference within a globalizing context, [political ecology, discursive practices, cognized models, Onabasulu (Papua New Guinea)]
Resituating the Place of Educational Discourse in Anthropology
Authors: Levinson Bradley A.
Published: November 2004

This critical essay examines the place of educational discourse in contemporary anthropology. I address the growing influence of “cultural studies” frameworks in anthropology—especially in research on popular culture, media, and identity—and the corresponding neglect of specifically educational discourses and practices, in and out of schools. To illustrate, I briefly examine recent research by four noted cultural anthropologists who mention the effects of schools at their field sites but pay insufficient attention to complex educational discourses and practices. Then I address the reasons why most contemporary anthropologists outside the subfield of “anthropology of education” ignore or downplay the role of modern schools in structuring identities and power relations, both locally and globally. I end with a programmatic synthesis: to recognize and account for the continuing power of schools in most contemporary ethnographic sites, even as we broaden our vision of “education” and extend our analytic tools well beyond schools. This resituating of educational discourse in anthropology might accomplish two important things. First, it could arrest the trend toward subfield specialization and provide a more unifying research program. Second, it would promote anthropology's renewed engagement with some of the most pressing problems of democracy and public policy, fostering an organic link between our multiple roles as teachers, researchers, and institutional actors, [education, identity, cultural studies, ethnographyJ
Mothering, Work, and Gender in Urban Asante Ideology and Practice
Authors: Clark Gracia
Published: November 2004

Conventional Asante gender roles in Ghana emphasize biological motherhood for women, but Asante assume mothers' loyalties and schedule conflicts will interfere with equally female gendered expectations within marriage, not with fulltime paid work. Asante express their maternal devotion most by working tirelessly to meet their children's financial needs, not by staying home with them. In this paper I analyze urban Asante ideals and practices about gender and parenting, drawing on life histories and fieldwork with Kumasi traders since 1978. Market trading is ideal "nursing‐mother work" because it generates the steady income needed to raise children successfully to adulthood, not because it is compatible with childcare. Marriage depends directly on women's intimate domestic work, creating structural tension with motherhood. Concepts about motherly fathers, manly women, and fools of both genders show how the distribution of income and capital defines gender and kin role performance. Asante have accommodated historical changes in gender expectations about work, parenihood, and marriage within their general positive emphasis on negotiability and renegoiiability of relationship content, [gender, work, Asante, traders, parenting]
And How Are We Supposed to Pay for Health Care? Views of the Poor and the Near Poor on Welfare Reform
Authors: Schneider Jo Anne
Published: November 2004

The welfare reform debate focuses on the characteristics of who gets government benefits and who pays for them. People perceive the welfare reform debate as the white middle class denying benefits to poor people of color. But larger questions regarding the U.S. lack of comprehensive social policy for health care, education, and child care lurk behind these concerns. Drawing on research with public assistance recipients and working‐ and middle‐class people, in this paper I explore the ways that people interact with and perceive government social programs. I argue that both attitudes and proposed solutions toward welfare reflect different access to government programs and resources such as jobs, savings, and social supports among people who have and have not accessed welfare. Since economic disparity in the United States correlates highly with race, the debate over welfare reform also involves racial attitudes. Changing both the welfare debate and poverty in the United States must start by providing universal benefits, [public policy, poverty, welfare reform, race, United States]

The Bush administration's recent proposal to set aside federal welfare funds for marriage promotion programs renews a long-standing controversy about what makes a model family.
