The transition between IDEA Part C early intervention and Part B 619 preschool special education is one of many transitions experienced by young children with disabilities and their families. Transition is a continuous process, not a discrete event, and Part C service coordinators are charged with facilitating the early intervention transition process for children and families (IDEA, 636. 20 USC § 1436, 2004). An exploratory study was conducted to better understand service coordinator reported practices and child and family transition outcomes using case study research methodology. Eleven participating Part C service coordinators described judgments of their experiences with two families, a family for whom the transitions went well and a family for whom the transition did not go well. Results of an iterative qualitative process identified successful and unsuccessful outcomes, as reported by service coordinators, of family transition experiences, including continuity of service, parent preparedness, and parent satisfaction with preschool programs. Results of quantitative analyses showed that the consistent use of communication and collaboration service coordinator practices were related to reported successful transition-related outcomes for children and families. In contrast, practices implemented with less consistency showed reported transition outcomes to be less successful. Quantitative analyses of 22 family experiences indicated a higher proportion of families classified as low income and higher proportions or children with more severe disabilities experienced unsuccessful transitions.

Cosy Crime vom Feinsten! Wie gut, dass Mary Alice und Patricia Anne Plätze in der ersten Reihe ergattert haben! Denn auf der Bühne lässt eine Schar von Elvis-Imitatoren in Glitzeranzügen die Hüften kreisen. Doch wo »Miss Marple im Doppelpack« auftaucht, lässt das Verbrechen nicht lange auf sich warten. Schon stürzt ein Elvis ins Orchester - tot! Und die Mordwaffe taucht ausgerechnet in Patricia Annes Handtasche wieder auf ... Maus und Schwesterherz ein weiteres Mal auf Mörderjagd.

Kurz darauf wird Mitzis Mann Arthur bei einem Tête-à-tête mit einer attraktiven Rothaarigen gesichtet.

With a subpoena in one hand and a donor agreement in the other, what choice should an ethical archivist make? Since the legal battle over the Belfast Project--a collection of oral histories from Northern Irish paramilitaries about their involvement in the Troubles--at Boston College erupted in 2011, such a scenario has become a reality. With U.S. attorneys demanding access in the name of truth and justice, and historians advocating denial for the sake of scholarship and honor, the archival profession is facing some troubling legal and ethical issues. Regardless of the ultimate fate of the Belfast Project, the archival field will have to adapt to a new reality. This reality will have to consider the effects of the law and oral history practices on archives. Should archives be granted privilege recognized within the legal system? Should there be oversight for oral histories? Should archives offer privacy protections for third parties? How can the archival community address these issues? This thesis will use the Belfast Project to analyze legal and ethical issues facing archivists and explore what this means for the future of the profession.

The sisters take on a job searching for the wife of their cousin Luke. After 40 years of marriage she has run off with a housepainter/preacher. Whilst on the job, they discover the corpse of a young woman.

Those hilarious southern sisters, who prove that sibling rivalry never ends, are heading for a vacation at the beach. Mary Alice''s flamboyant behavior aside, serious, sensible Patricia Anne looks forward to relaxing at her sister''s beachfront condo in Destin, Florida, so she kisses her ever-loving spouse Fred god-bye, reminds him to water the plants and feed the dog, and the girls head south for some fin in the sun. Mary Alice loses no time in making the acquaintance of just about everyone in sight, so watching the sun go down on the beautiful shores of the Gulf of Mexico is a welcome respite as far as Patricia Anne is concerned. . .until a dead body washes up in the waves and the victim turns out to be one of Mary Alice''s newfound friends. With no witnesses t the crime except a few great blue herons, the sisters have no choice but to bypass the clueless police and follow their own instinct to find the killer. Before long they_re on a murky trail of dirty real-estate deals, giant turtle habitats, and a sea of evidence pointing to a mammoth motive for murderer.

Patricia Anne can''t imagine why Mary Alice is in such an uproar over her son Ray''s new bride. Sunshine Dabbs is Ucute as can be,\" even if she is a bit unconventional, which should hardly come as a shock to Mary Alicc given that she''s the one who raised her boy. But with all her motherly instincts, Mary Alice is sure that this sweet little blonde Barbie doll--who met her son in Bora Bora after she won the trip on Wheel of Fortune--thinks she''s found herself a fortune in Ray''s hefty wallet. The sisters can''t wait to get a look at Sunshine''s family, and quite a look it turns out to be. As soon as Meemaw Turkett invites Mary Alice and Patricia Anne into her cozy trailer on the family compound they stumble over a corpse, and Meemaw''s best hog butchering knife is stuck in its chest. Meemaw, a Cabbage Patch look-alike and Sunshine''s grandmother, guardian, and the family matriarch is shocked to pieces and immediately summons the family to her trailer. Pawpaw, a lovable bearded grump has his own trailer, and their grown kids each enjoy a private home-away-from-home on the five-trailer compound. The discovery of the mysterious body brings in Mary Alice''s nemesis, good ol'' boy Sheriff Reuse, who, she knows from her experience at the Skoot ''n'' Boot, is nothing but trouble. Within minutes, the compound is strewn with a weird collection of friends, neighbors and relatives. There''s Meemaw''s spooky channeler, ready to give guidance as needed; Sunshine''s jilted boyfriend skulking around; a bunch of dogs ready to attack...and Kerrigan, Sunshine''s mostly absentee mama, who stars in the kind of video flicks that might even shock Mary Alice.

Though unalike as snowflakes, sisters Patricia Anne and Mary Alice share a sympathetic heart for their distraught cousin Luke -- known affectionately in his boyhood as \"Pukey Lukey,\" because of his penchant for getting sick in moving vehicles. Luke is desperate to hunt down Virginia, his wife of forty years, who has run off with a housepainter/snake-handling preacher named \"Monk.\" And the sisters have graciously agreed to accompany their stricken kinsman on his search...in Luke''s car, of course. But, while practical \"Mouse\" and flamboyant \"Sister\" are unable to find their runaway cousin-in-law among the asp-loving faithful on Chandler Mountain, they do manage to stumble upon the corpse of a pretty young redhead who was prematurely sent to her eternal reward. And before you can say \"anaconda,\" they are hot on the serpentine trail of a killer who''d like nothing better than to sink a pair of poisonous fangs into two meddling Southern sisters!

Mary Alice has spared nothing for her only daughter''s wedding -- from seventy-five yards of bridal train to gourmet food for over three hundred guests and enough glittering elegance to make Mary Alice think about finding herself a fourth rich husband to pay for it all. Practical Patricia Anne has put away her aunt-of-the-bride blue chiffon and settled back into domesticity when fun-loving Mary Alice calls to say they have a post-wedding date with a genealogist from the groom''s side of the family. Lunch is a fascinating lesson on the hazards of finding dirty linens in ancestral boudoirs that ends abruptly when their guest scurries off with the local judge, leaving the sisters with their mouths open -- and finishing their luncheon companion''s cheesecake -- when the police arrive. Their mysterious guest has taken a plunge from the ninth floor of the courthouse building -- an apparent suicide. But given the scandals a nosy genealogist might have uncovered, the sisters are betting that some proud Southern family is making sure their shameful secrets stay buried. . .along with anyone who tries to dig them up.

Murder on a Bad Hair Day It''s hard to believe practical, petite ex-schoolteacher Patricia Anne and amiable, ample-bodied, and outrageous Mary Alice are sisters, yet sibling rivalry has survived decades of good-natured disagreement about everything from husbands to hair color. No sooner do the Southern sisters discover a common interest in some local art, when they''re arguing the artistic merits of some well-coiffured heads at a gallery opening. A few hours later, one of those pretty ladies ends up dead -- with not a hair out of place. The other shows up on Patricia Anne''s doorstep dazed, disheveled, and telling a wild tale of a narrow escape from some deadly cuts. Now the sisters are once again combing for clues to catch a killer with a bizarre style in art -- and murder.

Childhood immunization is acknowledged as being a crucial health intervention for children. Immunization rates of children may vary depending on their parents'' knowledge and attitudes about the issue. The focus of this study is on parents'' knowledge and attitudes about immunization, and employs Urie Bronfenbrenner''s ecological systems theory. A questionnaire was administered to 233 parents in India to explore the issues of parental immunization knowledge and attitudes. Correlates of parental knowledge and attitudes that were explored included gender, education, respondents'' immunization status, and children''s immunization status. Sources of parental knowledge about immunization were also examined. Overall, parents in this sample had a high level of awareness and positive attitudes about immunization. Parents'' knowledge about immunization was correlated with their attitudes on immunization. Gender was correlated with parents'' knowledge about immunization, but not their attitudes, with females having greater awareness about immunization than males. Parental education, parental immunization status, and children''s immunization status were positively correlated with both knowledge and attitudes about immunization. Doctors and health care settings were the major sources of information about immunization for parents in this sample. Implications for research, policy, and education are discussed.
