The report evaluates DOJ's regulations and policies clarifying the language of the statute; processing of complaints of discrimination based on disability; litigation; and outreach, education, and technical assistance efforts related to the Act. The Commission finds that DOJ's implementation and enforcement program for the Americans with Disabilities Act is generally adequate, given its limited resources and extensive responsibilities. It finds that DOJ's greatest strength is its technical assistance and outreach and education program, which is extremely effective and praised widely by agency stakeholders. Another strength is DOJ's innovative use of alternative dispute resolution or mediation techniques to resolve complaints of discrimination. A general weakness of DOJ, however, is that it appears unresponsive to the concerns and priories of its stakeholders. To ensure that all stakeholders have a voice in DOJ's decision making, the Commission recommends that a formal mechanism be instituted to obtain input from interested parties.

A Report of the United States Commission on Civil Rights September 1998 BEST COPY AVAILABLE 2 U.S. Commission on Civil Rights The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is an independent, bipartisan agency first established by Congress in 1957 and reestablished in 1983. It is directed to: Investigate complaints alleging that citizens are being deprived of their right to vote by reason of their race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national origin, or by reason of fraudulent practices; Study and collect information relating to discrimination or a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution because of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national origin, or in the administration of justice; AppraiseFederallawsandpolicieswithrespectto discrimination or denial of equal protection of the laws because of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national origin, or in the administration of justice; Serve as a national clearinghouse for information in respect to discrimination or denial of equal protection of the laws because of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national origin; Submit reports, findings, and recommendations to the President and Congress; Issue public service announcements to discourage discrimi- nation or denial of equal protection of the laws. Members of the Commission Mary Frances Berry, Chairperson Cruz Reynoso, Vice Chairperson Carl A. Anderson Robert P. George A. Leon Higginbotham, Jr. Constance Horner Yvonne Y. Lee Russell D. Redenbaugh Ruby G. Moy, Staff Director s Helping State and Local Governments Comply with the ADA An Assessment of How the United States Department of Justice Is Enforcing Title II, Subpart A, of the Americans with Disabilities Act A Report of the United States Commission on Civil Rights September 1998 Letter of Transmittal The President The President of the Senate The Speaker of the House of Representatives Sirs: The United States Commission on Civil Rights transmits this report, Helping State and Lo- cal Governments Comply with the ADA, pursuant to Public Law 103-419. The report, along with a companion report, Helping Employers Comply with the ADA (dealing with enforce- ment of title I of the ADA by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) reflects the Commission's commitment to ensuring that Americans with disabilities are afforded equal opportunity and that the Nation's civil rights laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability are vigorously enforced. In accordance with this commitment, the Commission re- leases its first evaluation of the enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 8 years after enactment of the statute. This report focuses specifically on the efforts of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to en- force title II, subtitle A, of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimina- tion based on disability by public entities such as State and local governments. The report evaluates DOJ's regulations and policies clarifying the language of the statute; processing of complaints of discrimination based on disability; litigation; and outreach, education, and technical assistance efforts relating to the act. The report also assesses DOJ's effectiveness in its role as coordinator of the Americans with Disabilities Act enforcement efforts of seven other designated Federal agencies. The Commission finds that DOJ's implementation and enforcement program for the Ameri- cans with Disabilities Act is generally adequate, given its limited resources and extensive responsibilities. DOJ deserves positive recognition for several aspects of its Americans with Disabilities Act enforcement to date. Perhaps the greatest strength of DOJ's Americans with Disabilities Act implementation and enforcement efforts is its technical assistance and out- reach and education program, which is extremely effective and praised widely by agency stakeholders. Another strength is DOJ's innovative use of alternative dispute resolution or mediation techniques to resolve complaints of discrimination. For many cases, mediation re- sults in an expedited resolution of the case to the satisfaction of both parties, without the un- necessary use of resources for investigation or litigation. However, the Commission has iden- tified several ways in which DOJ could improve its enforcement of title II, subtitle A, of the Americans with Disabilities Act and offers specific findings and recommendations to increase DOJ's effectiveness in carrying out its mission to enforce title II. A general weakness of DOJ's Americans with Disabilities Act implementation and enforce- ment program is that it appears unresponsive to the concerns and priorities of its stakehold- ers, including individuals with disabilities, State and local government agencies, disability professionals, and disability experts. To ensure that all stakeholders have a voice in DOJ's decisionmaking related to the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Commission recommends that the Disability Rights Section, the office responsible for the Americans with Disabilities Act, institute formal mechanisms to obtain input from interested parties, such as an Ameri- cans with Disabilities Act Advisory Board comprised of persons representative of the broad range of DOJ stakeholders. iii 5 Among important specific failings the Commission identified in DOJ's title II, subtitle A, im- plementation and enforcement program is that DOJ does not develop and publish indepth policy guidance documents to clarify the meaning of the law and explain the reasoning be- hind the positions it takes in controversial areas. Instead, DOJ's Americans with Disabilities Act policy development is limited to its enforcement and technical assistance activities, such as investigation of complaints and negotiation of settlement agreements, filing of arnicus cu- riae briefs, and development and dissemination of technical assistance materials. The diver- gent rulings among Federal courts on title II issues reinforces the need for DOJ to develop and publish formal title II policy guidance. The Department of Justice is required by its regulations to investigate all charges of dis- crimination it receives under title II. The Commission found that DOJ does not have enough investigators to investigate all charges of discrimination received. Without additional inves- tigators, the length of time it takes for a complaint to be resolved

Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. Bernhard Neumair, Georg-August-Universitat¨ Gottingen¨ Abstract This thesis deals with the problem, that IT management automation projects are all tackled in a different manner with a different general approach and different resulting system architecture. It is a relevant problem for at least two reasons: 1) more and more IT resources with built-in or asso- ciated IT management automation systems are built today. It is inefficient to try to solve each on their own. And 2) doing so, reuse of knowledge between IT management automation systems, as well as reuse of knowledge from other domains is severely limited. While this worked with simple stand-alone remote monitoring and remote control facilities, automation of cognitive tasks will more and more profit from existing knowledge in domains such as artificial intelligence, statistics, control theory, and automated planning. A common structure also would ease integration and coupling of such systems, delegating cognitive partial tasks, and switching between commonly defined levels of automation. So far, this problem is only partly solved.

  • An Intergenerational Narrative Analysis of Black Mothers and Daughters
    Still Waiting to Exhale: An Intergenerational Narrative Analysis of Black Mothers and Daughters DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jamila D. Smith, B.A., MFA College of Education and Human Ecology The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Professor Elaine Richardson, Advisor Professor Adrienne D. Dixson Professor Carmen Kynard Professor Wendy Smooth Professor Cynthia Tyson Copyright by Jamila D. Smith 2012 Abstract This dissertation consists of a nine month, three-state ethnographic study on the intersectional effects of race, age, gender, and place in the lives of fourteen Black mothers and daughters, ages 15-65, who attempt to analyze and critique the multiple and competing notions of Black womanhood as “at risk” and “in crisis.” Epistemologically, the research is grounded in Black women’s narrative and literacy practices, and fills a gap in the existing literature on Black girlhood and Black women’s lived experiences through attention to the development of mother/daughter relationships, generational narratives, societal discourse, and othermothering. I argue that an in-depth analysis and critique of the dominant “at risk” and “in crisis” discourse is necessary to understand the conversations that are and are not taking place between Black mothers and daughters about race, gender, age, and place; that it is important to understand the ways in which Black girls respond to media portrayals and stereotypes; and that it is imperative that we closely examine the existing narratives at play in the everyday lives of intergenerational Black girls and women in Black communities.

The decision overturned a ruling by City Planning Director Lisa Gardner, and it serves as vindication for the neighbors who have bat- tled to have more say in the arena project since the site was first targeted in 2003. “This should have been a conditional use permit process from day one,” said Jeff Nelson, former co-chair of the Fairmount Neighborhood Association.

    VIRTUAL DUTCH AFRO LATIN DANCE CHAMPIONSHIP 2021 DALDC REALITY DANCE COMPETITION RULES & REGULATIONS SALSA Welcome Champions... Welcome to the Virtual DUTCH AFRO LATIN DANCE COMPETITION 2021 (DALDC). A new online Reality Dance Competition, brought to you by the NK Bachata & NK Salsa organization. Our primary goal is to redefine the way we do competitions in the future. Our second objective is to facilitate a digital platform where all talents can present themselves to join this great competition. During this COVID-19 Pandemic we made use of our time and created a new Platform to revolutionize the way we compete. A new era that opens up a world of possibilities but most of all: KEEPS US DANCING, CONNECTING AND DOING WHAT WE LOVE. The DALDC is a Reality dance competition where competitors can join from anywhere in the country. Competitors will need to submit their choreography video, and videos that give us some insight into the competitor’s life and passion for dance. These videos will be used to create web episodes that will be broadcasted on our Video on Demand platform for the world to see. THE VISION OF THE All competitors will receive their scores virtually COMPETITION In the rules for the SALSA CHAMPIONSHIP we repre- sent the most danced styles in the Netherlands and the fundamentals of the Salsa dance. We believe a competitor should be able to represent the funda- mentals but still have the freedom to explore different styles. We have decided that each competitor is allowed to choose any style he or she wants to dance but the choreography has to have enough emphasis on the fundamentals of Salsa.
