Finding My Dad's Memories
This documentary film will chronicle my dad's recovery from a traumatic brain injury. After an 8 day long coma and month long paraplegia it has become apparent that despite dramatic improvement, some brain function is still impaired, including the ability to access certain memories. My dad does not remember anything that happened in the home he lived in for over twenty years, or golfing, which he did regularly for fifty. This film will follow my dad's return to these places he cannot remember. Alongside the narrative of my father's recovery, will be an exploration into how memories are captured, stored, lost, and regained, focusing on episodic memory, which is the type of memory that was disrupted by my father's brain injury. This film will address what it means to be a good father and struggle with a gambling addiction. It will deconstruct a parental figure from the perspective of a son. This film will also explore the universal theme of strength in the face of adversity by looking at the deep and unwavering bond of a family faced with tragic circumstances and the dedication of a father to recover for his wife and children.

One of every four motorists cited for drinking and driving in Colorado over the past two years was driving at the time without a valid license because it had been revoked, suspended or never issued.
And more than one-fifth had lost their driving privileges for a prior drunken driving conviction.
In one notorious Aurora case, Ever Olivos-Gutierrez, 40, allegedly driving drunk, ran a red light and smashed into a car being driven by Juan Carlos Dominquez-Palomino, 17, killing him two months before he was to graduate from high school.
Olivos-Gutierrez had never had a Colorado driver's license and had been cited for two previous DUIs when he was involved in the deadly March 24 crash.
That same day, 10 other drivers across Colorado were cited for drinking while driving without a valid license. Five of them had lost their licenses for prior DUIs.
Rocky Mountain PBS I-News and 9News analyzed electronic court records of 45,637 DUIs issued in Colorado from April 2012 through April 2014.
The analysis did not include Denver County Court.
The analysis found:
One-fourth, or 10,978, of the 45,637 driving while intoxicated or impaired citations were issued to drivers who had previously had their licenses suspended, restrained or did not have a license. That's an average of 15 a day.
At least 2,294 of those drivers, or three a day, had lost their driving privileges for a prior driving and drinking arrest.
More than 250 separate law enforcement agencies in the state had stopped at least one driver for drinking and driving without a license.
Thirty law enforcement agencies in Colorado have issued at least 100 DUI citations each to motorists with no license over the past two years.
Fran Lanzer, executive director of the Colorado MADD office, said part of the problem is that cars are such an integral part of people's lives.
"We live in a society where people need to drive regardless of whether they are on a suspended license," Lanzer said. "You still have to go to work. You have to pick up the kids."
Buck said the justice system is also hamstrung because both DUI charges and driving without a valid license are misdemeanors.
"I think the most important thing from a story like this is that there are people that flagrantly abuse our laws and we need a stiff remedy for these people – a harsher sanction against them," he said.
The legislature turned down a proposed bill earlier this year to make a third DUI a felony, a reform that Lanzer said would help combat the problem.
Lanzer said officials hope a new state law passed last year that went into effect in January will cut down on DUI driving, especially for motorists who lost their licenses for a prior drinking and driving offense.
The law allows first-time offenders to regain their licenses after 30 days if they use an ignition interlock device to prevent them from starting their cars if they have been drinking.
Previously, DUI offenders had to wait a year without a license before they could use the device.
"We know people continue to drive anyway, so we prefer them to drive with an ignition interlock in their car," Lanzer said.
The analysis also showed the percentage of DUIs given to motorists with no valid license varied by jurisdiction.

Service-Oriented Crowdsourcing - Architecture, Protocols and Algorithms
von: Daniel Schall
Springer-Verlag, 2012
Sprache: Englisch94 Seiten, Download: 3901 KB
Format: PDF, auch als Online-Lesen
At a fundamental level, service-oriented crowdsourcing applies the principles of service-oriented architecture (SOA) to the discovery, composition and selection of a scalable human workforce. Service-Oriented Crowdsourcing: Architecture, Protocols and Algorithms provides both an analysis of contemporary crowdsourcing systems, such as Amazon Mechanical Turk, and a statistical description of task-based marketplaces. The book also introduces a novel mixed service-oriented computing paradigm by providing an architectural description of the Human-Provided Services (HPS) framework and the application of social principles to human coordination and delegation actions. Finally, it examines previously investigated concepts and applies them to business process management integration, including the extension of XML-based industry standards and the instantiation of flexible processes in crowdsourcing environments. Service-Oriented Crowdsourcing is intended for researchers and other academics as an in-depth guide to developing new applications based on crowdsourcing platforms and evaluating various selection and ranking algorithms. Practitioners and other industry professionals will also find this book invaluable.

Hi Tim
nice blog
how prophetic this article was, now looking back.
I have just published a cricket novel, an ebook, and I wonder if you would like to review it? What's new about it is that it's about a man who doesn't like cricket who falls in love with a woman cricketer, and she tells him to resurrect a defunct cricket team. He is coached in this by a Sikh cricketer.
I can gift it to you , complete with synopsis and material for an author interview if you like.
please let me know

Really good article, Just a thinking following the year he has had is that Swann in the same player he was around 2 years ago.
Out bowled by Panesar, ajmal, Rehman and Mendis in spin favourable conditions.
Then in the summer id say even KP bowled better than he did. I dont think he is as good as every1 says.
I think if Panesar played he would have performed much better.

I will totally agree with you and you're right because in order to win a test match you've to consider all the particular options available to you and if you are not availing the benefits of you being a home side then you'll certainly have to struggle and England have made this mistake by only considering their quick bowlers and ignoring their spinners who are world class spinners.So it will be a worth to watch whether they will succeed in their 'gamble'.

On the Day of Pentecost Peter quoted the prophet Joel (Acts 2:21'And it shall be that everyone who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.')
To call on the name of the Lord is to acknowledge the authority and power of the Lord, and follow in obedience by meeting the terms of pardon.
The apostle Peter did not tell those on the Day of Pentecost to say the "sinner's prayer." Saying the "sinner's prayer" is not calling on the name of the Lord.
Peter preached the death, burial, and bodily resurrection of Jesus. Peter declared the Jesus was Lord and Christ. (Acts 2: 22-26) They obviously believed Peter's preaching because they asked the question(Acts 2:37 ....."Brethren what shall we do?")
Peter did not tell them to say the "sinner's prayer." What was Peter's response to their question? (Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.)
1. FAITH: Believe in the death, burial, and bodily resurrection of Jesus. Accept Jesus as Lord and Savior.
2. CONFESSION: Acknowledge Jesus as the Christ and the Son of God.
3. REPENTANCE: Make the commitment to turn from sin and turn toward God.
4. WATER BAPTISM: Be immersed into Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.
HOW DID THE ETHIOPIAN EUNUCH CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD? (Acts 8:25-40
1. Philip preached Jesus to him. (Acts 8:35)
2. He confessed Jesus as The Christ the Son of God. (Acts 8:37)
3. He was baptized in water. Immersed by Philip. (Acts 8:38-39)
The Ethiopian eunuch did not say the sinner's pray nor was he asked to do so by Philip.
Romans 10:13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."
Romans 10:9-10 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
To call on the name of the Lord is to acknowledge His power and authority and confess Him as Lord and Christ . (Acts 2:26,Acts 8:37, Romans 10:9-10) To call on the Name of the Lord is to repent and be baptized. (Acts 2:38)
We are never told we are saved by "faith only." We are never told that saying the "sinner's prayer" is calling on the name of the Lord.
1. Faith: John 3:16
2. Belief and baptism: Mark 16:16
3. Confession and belief: Romans 10:9-10
4. Born of water and Spirit: John 3:5
5. Grace and faith: Ephesians 2:8
6. Buried through baptism: Roman 6:4-5
7. Water baptism: 1 Peter 3:20-21
8. Baptism: Acts 22:16
9. Baptized into Christ: Galatians 3:27
10. Believe: Acts 16:30-31
11. Repentance and baptism: Acts 2:38
12. God's mercy, water baptism, and the Holy Spirit: Titus 3:5
13. Water baptism: Colossians 2:12-13
14. Repentance: Acts 3:19

Dirk Nowitzki scored 22 points, Shawn Marion had a double-double in his return from a calf injury and the Mavericks spoiled Jason Terry's return to Dallas with a 104-94 victory over the Boston Celtics on Friday night.
Terry scored eight in his first game in Dallas since leaving for Boston in free agency. He was the latest key piece the Mavericks decided not to keep since beating Miami in the 2011 NBA finals.
Terry was known for 3-point shooting and clutch fourth quarters with the Mavericks, but he missed both 3-pointers for the game and was just 1 of 3 shooting without a try from long range in the final quarter.
Paul Pierce and Brandon Bass led Boston with 16 points apiece, and Bass added 11 rebounds.

Minneapolis and Ramsey County hurriedly retooled competing plans Wednesday to build a new Minnesota Vikings stadium, although both appeared to have continuing flaws. Meanwhile a sudden, last-minute bid from Shakopee could complicate the race.
Racing to meet a 5 p.m. Thursday deadline set by Gov. Mark Dayton, city and county officials said they expected to work nearly up to the deadline. As many as five locations -- including three in Minneapolis -- are in play.
The Vikings, meanwhile, say they still prefer a $1.1 billion stadium in Ramsey County's Arden Hills, and brushed aside Wednesday's proposal by Shakopee officials to build a $920 million stadium in Scott County backed by racino money.
Senate Majority Leader David Senjem, R-Rochester, said Wednesday that after years of debate over how -- and whether -- to build a new stadium, little seemed to have been decided.
"Here we are five or 10 years later and we still don't have a host community, we still don't have a local funding source and, of course, because of that, we haven't really decided on a state funding source," Senjem said.
With the Legislature convening in 12 days, Senjem also revealed a possible new political strategy, saying that although legislators may "begin this discussion" now on a Vikings stadium plan, the project could get pushed to 2013.
Ted Mondale, the governor's chief stadium negotiator, said he had not been involved in the Shakopee proposal. Neither was Canterbury Park, the nearby horse racing track that has been pushing for slot machines that would allow it to have a racino.
"We believe that we have the best site, that will be the easiest to develop," said Shakopee Mayor Brad Tabke, who took office just last week. The stadium would be built in an industrial area near Hwys. 101 and 169 east of Shakopee.
Mondale said he would be glad to meet with Scott County officials on the Shakopee proposal, but said "it's hard to comment without knowing anything about it."
Jeff Anderson, a Vikings spokesman, said of the Shakopee proposal, "It's time to focus on one site instead of [bringing in] additional sites."
Ramsey County and Minneapolis officials revealed few details in advance of Thursday's deadline.
Ramsey County Commissioner Tony Bennett, a major stadium proponent, said the county will stick with its plan to offer a local food-and-beverage tax they say would raise $350 million -- a plan dismissed a month ago by a key Senate stadium backer who said it could not win enough legislative votes.
"We can be in the ground, ready to go, faster than anybody. We're shovel-ready," Bennett said.
Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak said city officials are still working to "keep making [the city's plan] better."
Jeremy Hanson Willis, the mayor's chief of staff, said the city's proposal would be a "snapshot" of a still-evolving proposal that would show "here's where the conversation is today."
City officials said they will back the Metrodome, the Vikings home in downtown Minneapolis for 30 years, but said their funding proposal could be used for either the Farmers Market site near Target Field or the Linden Avenue site, near the Basilica of St. Mary.
Chuck Lutz, the city's development director, said studies have shown that 40 percent of the Metrodome's footings and foundation could be used for a new stadium.
While Minneapolis can boast that its plan does not raise new taxes, it does rely on a complicated set of projections. Rybak wants to redirect unpredictable downtown sales taxes that currently fund the city's convention center to help pay for stadium costs, and, at the same time, use some of the money to pay off debt at the city-owned Target Center.
In December, the city said its $300 million for a stadium would pay for operating costs over time, rather than paying for the stadium's construction. But city finance officials said this week that the $300 million figure may change, and they now are considering adding money for construction.
The Vikings have said the Metrodome may be "workable," but now say that the site carries $67 million in additional costs that include, in their estimation, a need for $19 million to enhance parking at the Metrodome. Rybak initially said the Metrodome site, at $895 million, was the cheapest plan.
The Vikings said Tuesday they consider the actual cost to be $962 million, closer to the cost of the other sites.
Added complications
There are also other complications. Mark Rotenberg, the University of Minnesota's general counsel, said Wednesday that there is "no specific agreement" with the Vikings to use the school's TCF Bank Stadium while the Metrodome is under construction. University officials said they were surprised that the Vikings had released cost estimates for using TCF Bank Stadium without consulting the school.
One player who could help Minneapolis remains on the sidelines.
Hennepin County Board Chair Mike Opat, who was instrumental in attaining county funding for Target Field, said the state's most populous county would not financially assist Minneapolis and the Vikings. As he has in the past, Opat said Wednesday that he supports a stadium next to Target Field.
Grabbing the stage Wednesday, Shakopee city leaders and legislators highlighted the area's adjoining attractions -- Valleyfair amusement park and Canterbury Park racetrack -- and said the stadium's public subsidy would come from racino, user fees for lottery scratch-off games, ticket surcharges, stadium naming rights and Vikings-themed license plates.
"We're aware we're coming late to the game, but everything is in flux right now," Tabke said.

Racial Disparities in America, Part I
Given the difficult history of U.S. race relations—and the ensuing, sometimes imperceptible, effects of race on individuals and society—a significant number of IPR faculty are studying the issue across a wide spectrum of topics, from examining the black/white/Latino test score gap to tracing how the human mind reacts to a person of a different race or ethnicity.

Viability of Crowdsourcing for Population Research
IPR sociologist Jeremy Freese compares traditional population survey methods with crowdsourcing platform Mechanical Turk.
To Understand YouTube Comments, Look at the Video's Tone and Topic
Media scholar and IPR associate Stephanie Edgerly studies link between online videos and their comments.
Human Speech's Surprising Influence on Young Infants
IPR psychologist Sandra Waxman studies how listening to speech affects even the youngest babies.
Understanding Immigrant Sexual Citizenship
Sociologists and IPR associates Steven Epstein and Héctor Carrillo study the experiences of gay and bisexual Mexican immigrants to the U.S.
Obama Gives Major Policy Talk at Northwestern
In a major policy speech at Northwestern University before the upcoming midterm elections, President Barack Obama hit on themes of progress over the past six years that he said the country can and should be proud of—touching on many topics that are also the subject of IPR faculty research, from education and healthcare to innovation and opportunity.
Impact of Food Stamps on Long-Term Health
IPR economist Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach has conducted extensive research on the evolution and impact of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—better known as the food stamp program. This figure illustrates one of her core findings: Being in a food-stamp county made the biggest long-term difference for babies in utero and children up to age five.
Faculty Spotlight: Quincy Thomas Stewart
While demographic data might not be the stuff of most people's dreams, for IPR fellow Quincy Thomas Stewart, it is—and applying advanced mathematics to social science issues is what led him to become a social demographer. "I was always interested in understanding racial inequality and how it emerged, how it was maintained, and how it was sustained," he said.
Do Political Parties Influence Participation?
Current research on political engagement tends to focus on citizens—their age, gender, socioeconomic status, or ethnicity. But in a working paper that is forthcoming in Comparative Political Studies, IPR political scientist Georgia Kernell turns her attention to political institutions themselves.
Becoming—and Staying—Rich Requires More than Winning the Lottery
When thinking about how to address the persistence of poverty, one of the big questions is: How do family traits shape wealth and well-being from one generation to the next? In two recent working papers, economist and IPR associate Joseph Ferrie is evaluating a 182-year-old experiment, Georgia's Cherokee Land Lottery of 1832, to analyze how a sudden influx of wealth affects families over time.
Possessing Spirits and Healing Selves: Embodiment and Transformation in an Afro-Brazilian Religion
Deep religious engagement can have a positive impact on a person's physical and mental health, IPR anthropologist Rebecca Seligman demonstrates in her new book, Possessing Spirits and Healing Selves: Embodiment and Transformation in an Afro-Brazilian Religion.
Playing Against Nature: Integrating Science and Economics to Mitigate Natural Hazards in an Uncertain World
In Playing Against Nature: Integrating Science and Economics to Mitigate Natural Hazards in an Uncertain World, geophysicist and IPR associate Seth Stein and his father, economist Jerome Stein, explore our often-flawed approach to natural hazard policies. The authors suggest that current policies do not take into account the many ways that science, economics, and risk analysis play into each situation of hazard.
Rethinking Measures of Socially Sensitive Issues
Drug and alcohol use among U.S. college students, particularly student-athletes, is often the source of much attention. Yet the measures researchers typically use to estimate the issue might be biased. An IPR working paper, coauthored by IPR political scientist James Druckman and forthcoming in Social Science Quarterly, suggests that survey methods using self-reports—in which participants take a survey without any subsequent verification as to the authenticity of their responses—might fail to provide accurate measures of socially sensitive issues, such as using banned substances.
SREE Makes Strides with Journal Impact Factor, Fall Conference
The Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness (JREE) recently received its first impact factor in Thomson Reuters Web of Science. JREE—the journal of the Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness—garnered the third-highest ranking of 219 journals in the education and educational research category for 2013.
Training a New Generation of Education Experts
This summer, IPR and Northwestern co-hosted two workshops aimed at developing current researchers' methodological research skills, including a new workshop specifically designed to boost the grant-seeking capacity of faculty from institutions that have historically served minority students. "Minority-serving institutions [MSIs] tend to be rather under-resourced institutions, but they have had a historic role in providing opportunities for minority students," said IPR education researcher and statistician Larry Hedges, who co-organized the workshops.
A Long Childhood Feeds the Hungry Human Brain
A 5-year old's brain is an energy monster. It uses twice as much glucose (the energy that fuels the brain) as that of a full-grown adult, a new study led by IPR biological anthropologist Christopher Kuzawa has found. It shows that energy funneled to the brain dominates the human body's metabolism early in life and is likely the reason why humans grow at a pace more typical of a reptile than a mammal during childhood.
Improving Performance: Managerial Control and Performance Pay
While widely used in the business world, pay-for-performance is a much, and often hotly, debated topic in education circles. What if there was a better way to boost effort rather than, for example, simply paying teachers according to student test-score improvements? "A lot of the conversation about motivating teachers is, 'Let's measure teacher performance and then pay them to teach well,'" said IPR economist Kirabo Jackson. "Much less of the conversation is devoted to … ways to give them more professional development so they'll be more productive."
Four New Fellows Join IPR
Four new fellows joined IPR at the start of the 2014–15 academic year: social psychologist Mesmin Destin, economists Cynthia Kinnan and Matthew Notowidigdo, and health and law scholar Michael Frakes. These new scholars bring expertise in several exciting areas, said IPR Director David Figlio.
Faculty Spotlight: Laurel Harbridge
Congress vs. the President. Democrats vs. Republicans. The House vs. the Senate. These days, can any politicians get along or get anything done? Through her research, IPR political scientist Laurel Harbridge seeks to bring clarity to the emotional—sometimes hostile—world of American politics, to understand how and why our leaders behave the way they do.
As summer fades and autumn sets in, Northwestern undergraduates return to campus—many with tales from their summer spent in retail, nonprofits, or the financial sector. But 33 undergraduates will come back with an entirely different tale—one about designing, conducting, and analyzing a research experiment with top IPR researchers. Summer 2014 marked the 17th year of IPR's Summer Undergraduate Research Assistants (SURA) program. The undergraduate research assistants were directly involved in a policy-relevant, social science research project alongside one of 28 IPR faculty mentors.
IPR-Led Multidisciplinary Training in Education Sciences Expands
Northwestern University's Multidisciplinary Program in Education Sciences (MPES) received a $4 million grant from the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), its third since the program's creation in 2004, to train doctoral students from different disciplines in state-of-the-art education research methods. The ninth cohort will start in the fall, and it will be the first to participate in a unique research partnership with Evanston Township High School (ETHS). "We want people to do useful and usable research," said IPR economist Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach, who directs the program.
Faculty Spotlight: Larry Hedges
It's hard to pin a label on Larry Hedges—education scholar, statistician, methodologist, social psychologist, policy researcher—all of the above would apply. The number of awards and honors he has accumulated over the course of his career, from elected fellowships to lifetime contributions, attest to his expertise and standing. In the world of education research, the times they are a' changin'—and Hedges is leading efforts to train and build a community around a new generation of multidisciplinary education researchers.
IPR Economist Elected to British Academy
IPR economist Charles F. Manski was one of 59 distinguished scholars and honorary members elected to the British Academy at its annual meeting on July 17. Manski was named to the economics and economic history section and cited for his pioneering work in "the modern analysis of partially identifying models." Founded in 1899, the academy counts more than 900 members in Britain and around the world.
Parenting Skills Tied to Reduced Inflammation in Low-Income Children
A new study led by IPR health psychologist Greg Miller suggests that an intervention focused on strengthening families can reduce inflammation, a chronic overactivation of parts of the immune system that is important for long-term health. He and colleagues, including IPR health psychologist Edith Chen, studied families in small, rural areas in Georgia. Most of the families were from low-income backgrounds.
Mobile Media Use in the Middle East
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and others have played an undeniable role in shaping the current sociopolitical landscape of the Middle East, yet most mobile media research to date has focused on the business aspects of its use—not, for example, how its content might influence public education and engagement. IPR media scholar Rachel Davis Mersey is helping to launch a new study that will seek to understand the development and diffusion of mobile media content in the Arab world.
What's in a (Hurricane) Name?
Recently, a lot of media attention was focused on a study supposedly showing that "female hurricanes are deadlier than male hurricanes." The idea is that people do not take hurricanes named after women as seriously, and so do less to protect themselves when warned about a hurricane named (say) "Bonnie" versus one named "Andrew." IPR sociologist Jeremy Freese identifies four key problems with the study.
Faculty Changes: Goings and Comings
IPR bids farewell to two faculty and welomes three new fellows. IPR associate Sarah Mangelsdorf will become provost of the University of Wisconsin–Madison and IPR associate Daniel Diermeier will become the new dean of the Harris School at the University of Chicago. In the fall, IPR will welcome three new fellows, social psychologist Mesmin Destin, economist Cynthia Kinnan, both at Northwestern, and health and law scholar Michael Frakes, who just arrived from Cornell University.
The C-Suite or the Sandbox: Has Anything Changed for Women as Leaders?
Recently several high-profile women leaders from GM's Mary Barra to the IMF's Christine Lagarde and Jill Abramson, formerly of The New York Times, have been in the news, leading to a wave of discussion about women in the executive suite. At a spring colloquium, IPR social psychologist Alice Eagly presented an ongoing project that reveals good news, bad news, and mixed results for what researchers are finding, what people are thinking, and what pundits are saying about women and leadership.
Improving College Access and Success
Only about half of low-income high school seniors go to college the fall after they graduate, compared with nearly 85 percent of high-income seniors. When they do, more than half enroll in two-year colleges, even though better outcomes are more often associated with four-year degrees. Many do not apply to four-year colleges, as recent research shows, often stumped by seemingly negligible barriers, such as a lack of information. At an IPR May 6 policy research briefing, IPR Director David Figlio moderated a panel on practical solutions featuring IPR education researcher James Rosenbaum, and economists Sarah Turner of the University of Virginia and Harvard's Bridget Terry Long.
Faculty Spotlight: Anthony Chen
The latest Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action has brought IPR sociologist Anthony Chen's research into focus. Chen studies the historical origins of affirmative action policies and programs, with the hope that his research can interject "more clarity and sober-mindedness" into public discourse. He is currently working on a book about the origins of affirmative action in college admissions that has revealed some surprising findings.
Chicago Forum Focuses on Police and Public
IPR political scientist Wesley G. Skogan, an expert on crime and policing, hosted the Chicago Forum on Procedural Justice and Legitimacy in Policing on March 21–22. The conference focused on the internal operations of police organizations and the relationships between the police and the public.
Two-Generation Initiatives Seek to Create Opportunities
At its first policy research briefing held at Evanston Township High School on April 16, IPR Director and Fellow David Figlio welcomed nearly 130 parents, students, faculty, and community members, including Evanston's mayor and a state lawmaker. They came to hear IPR experts Lindsay Chase-Lansdale, Mesmin Destin, and Teresa Eckrich Sommer, along with Sara Goldrick-Rab of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, broach a topic of great concern to Evanston and communities across the nation: how to provide greater opportunities for low-income families by furthering education for parents and their children.
Young Dads at High Risk of Depression, Too
In a new study, IPR associate Craig Garfield and colleagues find depressive symptoms increased by 68 percent on average over the first five years of fatherhood for young men in the study. The participants were around 25 years old when they became fathers, and they lived with their children.
The Road to Higher Education
College affordability and accessibility have been in the news lately with articles that discuss a variety of issues from rising levels of student debt to various initiatives, such as President Obama's recent launch of a program to increase college access for low-income students. IPR faculty examine these and other issues related to college access, affordability, and persistence and outcomes.
Cook to Lead National Science Foundation Directorate
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has selected Fay Lomax Cook, IPR social policy expert and the Institute's former director, as an NSF Assistant Director to head its Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE), effective in September. Cook will become a key member of NSF's senior management and policy team, while leading SBE and its staff of 119 and managing a budget of approximately $250 million.
A Successful Summer
Last summer, 34 Northwestern undergraduate students eschewed more traditional summer jobs of lifeguarding or waiting tables in favor of developing surveys and running regressions. As participants in IPR's Summer Undergraduate Research Assistant (RA) Program, they worked on a social science research project, mentored by one of 23 IPR faculty members. Summer 2014 will mark the program's 17th year, making it one of the oldest and longest-running undergraduate research opportunities at Northwestern.
Faculty Spotlight: Lincoln Quillian
IPR sociologist Lincoln Quillian's research examines the complex issues of race, ethnicity, social stratification, and segregation, with a distinct emphasis on looking at how these often intertwined matters can influence people's perceptions and prejudices. Along the way, his work has begun to shed new light on how we think about race and segregation.
A recent analysis of U.S. budgetary changes by IPR political scientist Laurel Harbridge explores how and why party control, congressional turnover, and budgetary constraints affect spending, including the start or elimination of programs and year-to-year funding changes. Her research reveals that Democrats actually make larger spending cuts than Republicans, and this occurs even when they have unified control of government. This puzzling pattern can be explained by what Harbridge refers to as "motivated information processing," causing the parties to make corrective actions after pursuing their partisan goals.
The Great Recession: Over But Not Gone
Though the Great Recession officially ended more than four years ago, how has the biggest U.S. downturn since the Great Depression affected—and continued to affect—Americans' lives? Several IPR faculty are mining data from this period (roughly December 2007 to June 2009) in a variety of areas, including food insecurity, unemployment, housing, and income inequality. They are detailing its short- and longer-term effects, with an eye towards policy prescriptions.
Two Generations, One Future
On April 16, IPR will hold a policy research briefing to examine evidence supporting two-generation programs. These provide workforce development training to parents while their children are engaged in quality education programs. Panelists are Northwestern/IPR researchers Lindsay Chase-Lansdale, Teresa Eckrich Sommer, and Mesmin Destin, with Sara Goldrick-Rab of the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Targeted Tutoring Can Reduce 'Achievement Gap' for CPS Students
High school students at risk for dropping out greatly improved their math scores and school attendance with the help of intensive tutoring and mentoring, according to a randomized study. It was conducted by the Urban Education Lab at the University of Chicago and co-authored by IPR economist Jonathan Guryan.
Comparing French and U.S. Socioeconomic Segregation
IPR sociologist Lincoln Quillian and Hugues Lagrange of Sciences Po find that socioeconomic segregation in large U.S. cities is much higher than in large French ones. The researchers also reveal that half or more of the difference between the two could be due to greater levels of U.S. income inequality.
Can Upward Mobility Cost You Your Health?
In a New York Times opinion piece, IPR clinical psychologists Greg Miller, Edith Chen, and their co-author discuss how pursuit of the American Dream can come at the cost of good health for low-income Americans who manage to climb the ladder to success.
Faculty Spotlight: Christopher Kuzawa
"You are what you eat," the old adage goes. But IPR biological anthropologist Christopher Kuzawa shows that it is not just about what you eat, but what your mother ate, and what your mother's mother ate, that more completely defines your weight at birth, your development as a child, and your health as an adult.

The Bill of rights did not come out of nowhere. They were already part of the Articles of Confederation (Google it). Some of the states insisted these rights be retained if they were to vote for ratification of the Constitution. The Articles specifically stated that the guns were to be kept in a common storehouse. The mistake the framers made when they transferred these laws to the Constitution was that they also abbreviated them, since they assumed that all Americans knew exactly what they were. The former colonists simply wanted to be able gather at the local storehouse and get out their squirrel rifles (no AK47's in those days), and prepare to meet an attacking enemy. The "right to bear arms" had already been part of the A of C because people did not want a repeat of what the British government had done, which was to prohibit colonists from legally having access to weapons. But what the NRA doesn't tell you is that, in the A of C, it was explicit that the weapons had to be kept in a common, locked, armory. They DID NOT give individual colonists the right to own personal firearms. They didn't prohibit it, either, of course, but that is not the point. The point is that, when the 2nd Amendment includes the clause, "A well-regulated militia..." it means EXACTLY that, despite the twisted interpretation the NRA tries to put on it. The immensely wealthy NRA and its lackeys in Congress NEVER quote the entire amendment, because they don't want the average citizen to be aware of it if they can help it. The Second Amendment was never intended to address the issue of personal ownership of weapons; it was meant only to make certain that the government could not legally prevent citizens from having access to them in the event they wished to form a militia to defend the colony or state.
Of course, the right wing-dominated, ACTIVIST Supreme Court couldn't wait to accede to the wishes of the NRA, just like the entire Republican Party. The NRA, though, does NOT exist for the protection of the right of citizens to own weapons; it exists for the sole purpose of making certain that the weapons and ammunition industry will be able to continue to make huge profits by making sure that anybody and everybody, criminals included, will be able to buy all the guns and ammo they can afford. That's what unregulated gun shows are for. Do the math: the more Americans who die from handguns, the more money the guns & ammo industry makes; and the NRA exists for the sole purpose of organizing to make sure that never will change.
Aside from the legal arguments, the fact remains that more people are killed by guns in the U.S. than all the other countries combined. USA! USA! USA! Ten times the number of Americans are killed by guns than any other country. Our nearest neighbor to the north can count their total annual gun deaths in the single digits. In short, all CIVILIZED countries prohibit individual citizens from owning handguns. All CIVILIZED countries have crime rates FAR lower than ours. All CIVILIZED countries abhor the idea of their citizens gunning each other down, willy-nilly. Americans on the other hand idolize the gun-totin' denizens of the mythical, UNcivilized, old west. Most American males imagine themselves as Wyatt Earp, or even the psychopathic killer, Jesse James. Other countries don't do that; they are CIVILIZED, don't you see?
Conservatives and NRA gun-suckers HATE Michael Moore, because he inadvertently got Charlton Heston to tell the truth. He simply asked Heston why he thought so many more Americans are killed with guns than all the other countries, Heston mumbled something about the culture that CLEARLY revealed what he meant: that America has too many black and Hispanic folks in it. And Moore didn't put those words in his mouth; they came out of his racist head. What else could he have meant? That is a rhetorical question, of course; he meant what he said. Further, the sub-text here is that many white Americans imagine that blacks and Mexicans are just waiting to attack them in their beds and they must therefore keep a gun under the pillow to feel secure. In short: they are COWARDS, cowering with loaded guns under their pillows, despite the danger of that gun to their own families. I grew up in South Central L.A., dead in the center of Crips territory, but it never even occurred to me or my family to have guns to protect ourselves. My father, a lawman himself, never even used his gun to capture a lawbreaker. He was the bravest man I ever knew, and he didn't need a gun to feel powerful.
Another reason for American attitudes towards guns is having been raised on western movies. There is a myth that the true American hero must tote a gun to be a real man, just like Hopalong Cassidy. The truth is very different. In the year 1910, there were a total of 213 homicides in the entire United States (Look it up!). At that time, very few Americans owned handguns. It is not a coincidence that it was around 1910 when movies, including western movies, gangster movies, war movies, etc. began to be popular. Pretty soon, every male wanted his own six-shooter. Since then, the murder rate has gone up (skyrocketed, actually) as the proliferation of weapons has gone up; it's not rocket science to understand that.
And it's not about to ever change. Americans, by and large don't really care. If there were ten million Americans killed with guns each year, Americans STILL wouldn't care; at least the Republicans wouldn't. The NRA keeps telling them; and now the Supreme Court is telling them that they can have all the weapons they want - that it's actually PATRIOTIC to own guns. And we have the country's largest quasi-criminal organization, the NRA, making sure that street thugs can easily buy their guns at gun shows.
The NRA periodically frames the issue as it being necessary for citizens to own guns in case the government comes to get them. Many idiots believe this and they are a big source of revenue for gun makers. Their boast is that when the government comes to take their guns they will use those guns to prevent that from happening. Right! When the tanks are rolling down the street to take your guns, for some unimaginable reason, your handgun will protect you?
Then there is the huge lie the NRA keeps telling: that if only the laws were enforced the killings would go down. Even if that WERE true, which it isn't, approximately half of the gun deaths each year have no connection with crime; they are usually friends either getting angry and drunk and shooting their friends or relatives; or they are accidents or suicides. I once sat on a jury that convicted a man of first degree murder for shooting and killing his best friend over a perceived insult. He was drunk, of course. And in his drunken state (which is not illegal), he got out his handy pistol and killed his friend. We convicted him, by the way. If that gun had not been easily available, one man would not now be dead and the other in prison. My own cousin - a nice guy - shot and killed his wife's lover in a fit of rage. He, too, went to prison; and no stricter law enforcement would have prevented that killing. On the other hand, if he hadn't had a gun handy, he would have had more time to think about it. That's also true of suicides. Shooting oneself is the easiest, cleanest, and quickest way to do the deed. How many potential suicides would be averted if the victim had a little more time to think about it, instead of impulsively reaching out and pulling the trigger?
Every study that's ever been done shows that the odds of somebody being killed by his own gun are MANY times greater than that their gun would ever be used for self protection. Yet another anecdote: a good friend of mine, 50 years ago, pointed a 32 revolver at my face and started to pull the trigger, thinking the gun was empty. It wasn't! I stopped him just in time, and he almost fainted. I often think of all the things I've accomplished in my life that never would have happened if Fred had pulled that trigger. Tougher law enforcement wouldn't have helped.
Years ago, TIME Magazine devoted an entire issue to publishing the names, photos, and circumstances of some 700 or so (as I recall) Americans killed IN ONE WEEK by handguns. The result? The NRA and the Republicans in Congress loudly and angrily castigated TIME. They didn't claim it wasn't true. They just didn't want Americans to know about it and thought it un-American of TIME to publish it.
NRA gun nuts who read this will be outraged, of course. They claim to be against crime. But why then did they lobby strenuously to prevent Congress from outlawing armor-piercing bullets? There can be only one answer to that: they wanted cop-killers to be able to purchase that ammunition for the profit of the ammunition manufacturers. If the Mafia had done that, we would demand they be hauled off to the hoosegow. But if the NRA does it, it's okay, I guess. Why do they insist that automatic weapons should be legal when there is no reason for them except to be able to kill a lot of human beings quickly, just like the guy who shot Gabrielle Giffords? Because automatic weapons sales are big profits for the weapons industry. Why do they oppose virtually every police chief and mayor of any urban American city and instead imply that the cop on the street supports the right to carry guns. That is preposterous on its face. One of the main tactics urban police (used to) employ to control street gangs is to periodically raid homes where they thought illegal guns might be found; they could then charge those gangbangers with felonies and get them off the street. But the Supreme Court, in its Supreme wisdom has now made that very difficult, if not impossible. In most jurisdictions, it is not illegal, in itself, to belong to a gang; so the police can longer legally raid the residences of gangbangers solely on suspicion of having illegal weapons. The thugs can now have as many cop-killing weapons as they want, since the 2nd Amendment and 5 out of 9 S.C. Justices say that they are protected by the 2nd Amendment. I hardly think the average cop on the street supports that. But the NRA makes blatantly specious claims that they do. Every now and then, they trot out some hick cop from Mississippi to agree with them. But most professional police and law enforcement organizations do not. Sadly, most Americans want to believe the NRA, because Americans want to grow up to be cowboys.
Finally, NO NRA member can answer the question Michael Moore asked: Why DO Americans kill more of their own citizens with guns than any other country? The obvious answer is that we have many orders of magnitude more guns than the rest of the world - duhhhh! Road rage shootings exist only in America - something of which to be truly proud, isn't it? And don't let them get away with the lie that it's because other countries enforce their laws and Americans don't. Poppycock.
NO NRA member can answer the question Michael Moore asked: Why DO Americans kill more of their own citizens with guns than any other country?
As I recall, he answered the question in a way during the movie by comparing Detroit with its high rate of gun violence to the much less violent but otherwise comparable nearby Canadian city to the south (yes, the south). That city is Windsor, Ontario. Both cities have high rates of poverty, large minority populations, and nearly equivalent gun ownership rates, but the gun crime rate is far less in Windsor.
What's the difference? Isn't it obvious? The difference between the two cities is the difference between Canadians and Americans!
Your rhetoric is wrong on so many fronts I am unsure where to begin. Let me base my retort on the fact that I am a lifelong gun owner who grew up in a gun owning family. I can understand your bias since you stated that you were raised in the jungles of LA where life really is not well represented for the remainder of we rural Americans. A gun is a weapon first and foremost. The one that lays on my kitchen table is no better than a rock until it is picked up and aimed at a target. I'll answer your question BTW: More people in the US are killed by guns because guns are extremely effective at killing people. They beat rocks, knives, and clubs hands down. I can kill an intruder at a distance and forego good ole hand to hand combat. You have a much higher probability of success with a gun than a rock.
While it is reasonable to assume that the NRA has influence from the gun and ammo industry it is certainly incorrect to state that the National Rifle Association's members primary purpose it to keep the weapons and ammo coming. Their actual number one goal is to ensure the right to own and bear arms by the LAW-ABIDING citizens of America is not infringed or usurped. Bleeding hearts say but guns kill people and are bad! No, guns don't kill people. It takes a finger to do that.
Not all NRA members were in favor of allowing armor piercing ammo to remain available. I can personally attest to that fact.
Your metropolitan take on guns is quite different that my "in the backwoods" rural take. Weapons are an ingrained way of life here in the sticks. Their misuse is not a problem; certainly not in relation to the urban warfare of gangs where life for the other guy has little meaning.
Idiots do exist unfortunately and accidents will continue to happen. Hunters will fall and their firearm's trigger safety is not engaged. Gun 1 Idiot 0.
The impatient rage that exists in this country is not the fault of the gun. The misuse of firearms by short tempered gang bangers is a symptom of a social disease. Why blame the gun? What's the difference between killing someone with a gun or bashing their head in with a pick axe? Nothing. The tool is not at fault. The violence that pervades our society is not at it's core a gun issue. Why make the gun out to be the fall guy. Remove guns and the despicable perps will resort to other methods in their attacks on society.
I cherish my gun ownership and it provides me with a sense of security and a means to put food on my table. As a law abiding citizen I will not easily give up my rights to have them. The people that give firearms a bad name are just that, bad people. We would be better served to place our attention on the psychosis of killing others than the tool used to that end.
You might want to check those statistics and the rest of your argument more closely. I can international sources. Michael Moore did not. The U.S. is not even in the top 10 in gun misusage. Check Wikipedia.
I think that every citizen should own a gun; however, I don't think everyone born in this country should be a citizen. I think citizenship should be earned by serving your country in some form for a minimum of four years and that your citizenship should be taken away for committing violent crimes. We should all be trained on survival and military tactics. Too many people wouldn't know what to do if they were stuck in the wilderness or forced to fight for their freedom by invading forces. My roommate doesn't even know how to swim.
The fourteenth amendment throws that idea out the door but just an idea of mine. And most people don't vote anyways so they wouldn't be missing out on much by not serving their country anyways.
Sure I like the Swiss. I think Israel does the same thing too.
And the Swiss have legalized heroin too... I should just move over there
Compulsory military service? Appalling. Taking away peoples citizenship, sure first for violent crime, then homosexuality, then masturbation, who ever is in power will decide I'm sure. I respect your views sir, but I would never ever ever serve the military or police in any way, ever. It is wrong to hurt others and it is infinity more wrong to do so for the interests of some overhead force. I'm not a pawn I'm a person, this is my country, and I'm going to keep it.
But admittedly it is certainly a good thing that some do make the choice to serve and protect. Police are an essential element of a stable society. We should be thankful for their courage.
There is truth in that. But my issue is with people who "do what they are told". We may apreciate them now because of what they are being told to do, but what if they were told to do somthing bad, to you or your family? what if they put you in a private prison where you become a slave for a private corporation, maybe because you were smoking some weed, or maybe you didn't do anything at all, I don't think the people doing it would care about injustice if they were "Told not to". No disrespect man, I love diversity of thought. But personaly If I was cop and I had to funel largly innocent people into the private prison slave system, I would quit my job. I would go be a janitor, or dog walker, or even nothing at all. If I had no choice but to serve in the military I would rot in jail, who would I be "serveing"? I feel a deep sadness for our troops, they victims of athourity, just like the people they are fighting in many cases, victims of christianity, islam, judaism. Victims of systems that place money over life, that daliberitly dumb people down so they will buy into carosive concepts like "leadership". The people in power are not victims of anything but phycopathy, every one they touch dies, every thing they touch turns to shit, and they like it and think it's hillarious.
Sorry if I offended you or anything, like I said there is truth in what you say as well, maybe people do need order, but never to the point were order no longer needs people.
I never mentioned military service I specifically said "serving your country in some form" for the purpose of giving those who would appose military service another option.
It also wouldn't be compulsory--only if you want citizenship.
Gun ownership. The argument is seemingly always over the ownership of guns. However, most of the gun crime is done with stolen guns bought out of the back of a truck or stolen during a burglary. When you obtain a gun that way, you are in possession of it without owning it.
You don't need to OWN a gun to commit a crime, and yet most of the controls proposed seem to have to do with restricting gun ownership.
Gun possession is the real issue, if you want to restrict gun-related crimes, but only the stupidest criminal would commit a crime using a gun bought legally where the records involved in the transaction (gun registration, credit card transaction records, surveillance cameras) would lead the authorities directly to him.

Sidney Ali - 2 interesting sites on the cliff-top opposite the break. 1)the ancient(middle-ages)Sidni-Ali Mosque 2)the cliff-face mud settlement built by 'Neandertal Nissim' (the psychopathic sculptor)at the beginning of the 80`s from junk, washed-up debris & man-made(psycho-made)caves.Don`t get into any argument with the guy he`s a complete arsehole & totally unfriendly. Hates to talk to anyone except with those parasites who 'crash-down' & 'work-their-keep'there!
