Bearing Life

For the past 10 years Seattle-based choreographer Pat Graney has directed “Keeping the Faith” at the Washington State Women's Correctional Facility. The project provides participants with rare opportunities for self-expression and group cooperation, apparently serving the prison's stated goal of rehabilitation; but it also offers possibilities for transgression as it extends freedom of movement to highly regulated bodies.

Set Up

Nigeria, the largest country in Western Africa, has been attracting migrants from neighboring countries for the past decade or so. Although most of the movement of African migrants has occurred outside the regulatory framework set up to control migration, it is important to know the main elements of the latter to understand the likely limitations of the data collection systems currently in operation. This note briefly reviews the legal basis for the control of migration in Nigeria and the scope of the ECOWAS Protocol on Freedom of Movement. It also focuses on the available sources of data on migration, discussing their nature and scope.

Learning Principles

Sheila T. Cavanagh and Steve Rowland link Shakespeare classrooms in distinctive venues: Cavanagh is a professor at Emory University in Atlanta, whose students are enrolled in undergraduate degree programmes; Rowland teaches at Monroe Correctional Facility in Washington State, under the auspices of University Beyond Bars. This article describes some of the practical and theoretical challenges emerging through this collaboration, many of which result from the instructors’ desires to construct their classes with pedagogic goals and assignments drawn from both cognitive and affective learning principles. Geography precludes the students meeting in person and they are not currently able to employ videoconferencing in this endeavour, but regular exchanges of essays and responses to each other’s writing allows these disparate groups of Shakespeareans to expand their knowledge of the drama while sharpening their critical and writing skills and learning to develop their affective understandings of the subject.

Abstract A 1988 mail survey to evaluate use and effectiveness of Washington NIPF assistance/education programs resulted in a 69% response or 910 useable questionnaires. In total, 47% of the respondents had received assistance/education from Washington State DNR (17.4%), SCS (15.4%), ASCS Cost-Share (15.5%), Washington State University Cooperative Extension (29.3%) and private forestry consultants (12%). Usefulness of assistance/education received was rated good/excellent by 79.3% to 90.5% of the respondents. Owners also commonly received assistance/education from more than one source, reflecting the fact that NIPF forestry programs tend to work as a system, with each part serving a different function. Respondents receiving assistance or information had larger forested holdings, a somewhat higher level of education and tended to live on or near their forested holdings. A much larger percentage of respondents having received assistance/education indicated they had completed one or more management practices in the past 10 years. West. J. Appl. For. 6(4):90-94.

Supreme Court Decisions

This book takes up an essential and timely inquiry into the Constitutional limits of the Supreme Court's power to create, interpret, and enforce one of the essential rights of American citizens. Analyzing contemporary Supreme Court decisions from the past fifteen years, the book argues that judicial interpretations have fundamentally and drastically expanded the meaning and understanding of “speech.” The book focuses on judgments such as the much-discussed Citizens United case, which granted the full measure of constitutional protection to speech by corporations, and the Doe vs. Reed case in Washington state, which recognized the signing of petitions and voting in elections as acts of free speech. In each case study, the book questions whether the meaning of speech has been expanded too far and critically assesses the Supreme Court's methodology in reaching and explaining its expansive conclusions.

Internal migrants in EU may face tougher benefit rules

The Eu

Significance The EU is built around the 'four freedoms', which together form the core of the internal market. Economically, freedom of movement is meant to smooth out asymmetrical labour market shocks by allocating labour where it is needed most. In the past, intra-EU mobility has been relatively low and mostly reflected a widening welfare gap between older member states and those that joined after 2004. As a result, fears of 'welfare tourism' have risen, despite the fact that empirical evidence for it is scarce. Impacts The issue of welfare tourism will continue to dominate the debate. Who is eligible for what welfare payments in other member states will, therefore, continue to occupy courts across Europe. Because of the current refugee crisis, the rules on third-country nationals will come under scrutiny again.

As If

The question of the possibility of movement without support, movement at the expense of internal forces has long been of concern to mankind. Let us assume that such a movement is feasible; what prospects would open up before us? This is the freedom of movement in all environments: earth, air, water, including space. There are many ideas in achieving this goal. Here is one of them: when a body accelerates and decelerates, the forces applied to it are directed in opposite directions, as if we somehow managed to direct these forces in one direction. The solution of this problem will lead us to achieve the stated goal, to move without support.

Using Data

AbstractDuring the past decade the United States has seen an increase in alternative forms to Election Day voting, including voting by mail. Voting by mail has spurred a number of studies concerning the effects it has on voter turnout and other aspects of voting. However, one important facet of voting by mail has not been examined—when people decide to send in their vote. Because ballots are mailed out weeks before the election, voting by mail creates, in effect, a rolling Election Day. This could have profound effects for campaigns as candidates must determine when to use campaign resources and campaign to an electorate who might have already voted. Using data from the 2008 general election in Washington State, this study examines when voters turned in their ballots and determines if age, partisanship, or other factors play a role in the timing of turning in a ballot.

Background Little is known about community orthodontists’ previous training in, experience with, or receptivity to caring for children with craniofacial disorders. Objectives (1) To characterize the current level of participation by Washington state orthodontists in craniofacial care; and (2) to identify factors that promote or impede community orthodontists’ involvement in caring for children with craniofacial conditions. Design Mail survey. Methods A 26-item questionnaire was designed and mailed to all active orthodontists in Washington state (N = 230). Question topics included practice characteristics, training and experience with craniofacial conditions, concerns related to public and private insurance, and communication with craniofacial teams. Results Of eligible respondents, 68% completed the survey. Most orthodontists’ patient panels were made up of patients who either have private insurance or pay cash for services. On average, 2% of respondents’ patients were Medicaid beneficiaries. Only 20% of respondents had seen more than three patients with cleft lip and/or palate in the past 3 years. Although a minority of orthodontists receive referrals from (27%) or are affiliated with (11%) craniofacial teams, most orthodontists perceived craniofacial care positively and were interested to learn more about craniofacial care and to accept additional patients with these conditions. Conclusions Results of this survey can inform potential strategies to increase access to orthodontic care for children with craniofacial disorders. These would include developing an organized training, referral, and communication system between community orthodontists and state craniofacial teams and considering a case-management approach to facilitate this process.
