Mcnair SCHOLARS PROGRAM RESEARCH JOURNAL SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY McNAIR SCHOLARS PROGRAM RESEARCH JOURNAL Spring 2008 San Jose State McNair Journal Volume IV San Jose State University and McNair The Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program was established by Congress in 1986 after the tragic explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger that killed seven crewmembers including Dr. McNair. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, the program provides institutions with grants to develop and implement successful programs that recruit promising and aspiring low-income and first generation students and those from backgrounds underrepresented at the doctoral level and prepares them for the rigors of graduate level work. Currently the program operates at 179 campuses across the country. Since the McNair Scholars Program inception at SJSU in 1995, McNair has successfully recruited 133 low-income and first generation students and individuals who are underrepresented at the doctoral level.

Relationship Between Father/Child Contact and Emotional Well-Being Page 1 Spring 2008 San Jose State McNair Journal Volume IV Non-Custodial Divorced Fathers: A Qualitative/Quantitative Review on the Relationship Between Father/Child Contact and Emotional Well- Being ABSTRACT One purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between non-custodial divorced fathers' (NCDF) emotional wellbeing and their child/father connectedness. Also, the study used a qualitative approach to investigate the other implications that may relate to their emotional wellbeing. The study used surveys and phone interviews to determine the relationship between the NCDF father/child connectedness and the NCDFs emotional state. The study also used the same method to unveil the underlying factors that affect the NCDF during and after divorce. The surveys included depression, self-esteem, and divorce adjustment scales to determine divorced father's emotional wellness. The demographic survey and phone interviews were used with the scales to cross-analyze the fathers’ father/child connectedness and the influences that affect their relationship and their emotional wellbeing. Data were collected from 4 NCDF. Demographically, all fathers are Caucasian and between thirty years of age or over. The fathers were divorced as early as October 2000 while others are currently in the process. Findings indicated that anger and frustration towards the court seems to be a factor that contributes to the emotional distress of divorced fathers. NCDF feel that they are treated unfairly and are frustrated with the court's restrictions laid upon them. Implications and suggestions Page 2 Spring 2008 San Jose State McNair Journal Volume IV were included for mental health professionals, legal professionals, and policy makers. Introduction Divorce is a serious issue for all members of the family. Often divorce ends with the children living with their mothers, and the non-custodial divorced fathers (NCDF) are left to face the many misconceptions and strain that reduce them to insignificant roles as fathers (Bokker, 2006a). Therefore NCDF have to face extra challenges to redevelop their relationship with their children (Bokker, 2006b; Nielson, 1999). The purpose of the study is to

    Introduction It is the 51st Millennium, and the war continues. There was no great conflagration or calamitous final battle. Across the vastness of the galaxy, the Imperium died. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. The galactic empire of humanity crumbled, its enemies too many, too great and too terrible to imagine. The great conflict of Octavius had no victory, a war without end. In the fiery chasm of strife, the locust and the green holocaust fused, as beast looked upon barbarian and both saw the other as kin. The new entity spread with a speed undreamt of by ork or tyranid. War and hunger melded into a singular desire to ravage, rape and remake all in the image of the new devourer. The Devourer’s hybrid nightmares were regenerative, and spore-born, combining into a grand horror, which murdered the galaxy, leaving naught but fragments as it left. Metallic sentinels of unflinching dread rose up on some worlds, leaving them safe from the new devourer waaagh, but instead made them slaves to the silver sentinels, and fodder for their glowing metal gods. The Eldar who had held on to life for so long, slowly winked out of existence one craftworld at a time. Eventually, even the rumbling hearts of the avatars fell silent. For a time... In the dead craftworlds, something slithers through the infinity circuit to this day. Unfortunately, the great god of the dead, Ynnead, is trapped within this infinity circuit, howling its mournful song into the darkness, eternally hungry in its desire to wreak vengeance on She Who Thirsts.

    “IT REVEALS WHO I REALLY AM”: NEW METAPHORS, SYMBOLS, AND MOTIFS IN REPRESENTATIONS OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS IN POPULAR CULTURE By Summer Joy O’Neal A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Middle Tennessee State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Angela Hague, Chair Dr. David Lavery Dr. Robert Petersen Copyright © 2013 Summer Joy O’Neal ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There simply is not enough thanks to thank my family, my faithful parents, T. Brian and Pamela O’Neal, and my understanding sisters, Auburn and Taffeta, for their lifelong support; without their love, belief in my strengths, patience with my struggles, and encouragement, I would not be in this position today. I am forever grateful to my wonderful director, Dr. Angela Hague, whose commitment to this project went above and beyond what I deserved to expect. To the rest of my committee, Dr. David Lavery and Dr. Robert Petersen, for their seasoned advice and willingness to participate, I am also indebted. Beyond these, I would like to recognize some “unofficial” members of my committee, including Dr. Elyce Helford, Dr. Alicia Broderick, Ari Ne’eman, Chris Foss, and Melanie Yergau, who graciously offered me necessary guidance and insightful advice for this project, particularly in the field of Disability Studies. Yet most of all, Ephesians 3.20-21. iii ABSTRACT Autism has been sensationalized by the media because of the disorder’s purported prevalence: Diagnoses of this condition that was traditionally considered to be quite rare have radically increased in recent years, and an analogous fascination with autism has emerged in the field of popular culture.

  • The Punishment Bureaucracy: How to Think About “Criminal Justice Reform” Alec Karakatsanis1
    THE YALE LAW JOURNAL FORUM M ARCH 28, 2019 The Punishment Bureaucracy: How to Think About “Criminal Justice Reform” Alec Karakatsanis1 [W]e do not expect people to be deeply moved by what is not unusual. That element of tragedy which lies in the very fact of frequency, has not yet wrought itself into the coarse emotion of mankind; and perhaps our frames could hardly bear much of it. If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel’s heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence. —Mary Ann Evans, Middlemarch2 i On January 26, 2014, Sharnalle Mitchell was sitting on her couch with her one-year-old daughter on her lap and her four-year-old son to her side. Armed government agents entered her home, put her in metal restraints, took her from her children, and brought her to the Montgomery City Jail. Jail staff told Shar- nalle that she owed the city money for old traffic tickets. The City had privatized the collection of her debts to a for-profit “probation company,” which had sought a warrant for her arrest. I happened to be sitting in the courtroom on the morn- ing that Sharnalle was brought to court, along with dozens of other people who had been jailed because they owed the city money.

INTRODUCTION The above statements, one by a distinguished businessman and the others by our new president and his chief of staff, bear directly on the subject of this Article. Today we are witnessing a crisis caused by economic formulae developed without a responsible exercise of judgment and, in many instances, with a shocking disregard for the truth. The virtue of truthfulness is not just some abstract moral principle. Rather, it is a critical component of a well functioning society. As the current situation demonstrates, the lack of regard for truthfulness can have disastrous consequences, not just for our own country, but around the world.

    THE WORLD NUCLEAR WASTE REPORT 2019 Focus Europe. PARTNERS & SPONSORS Bürgerinitiative Umweltschutz Lüchow-Dannenberg This report would have not been possible without the generous support of a diverse group of friends and partners, in particular – listed in alphabetical order – the Altner-Combecher Stiftung, Bäuerliche Notgemeinschaft Trebel, Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz (BUND), Bürgerinitiative Umweltschutz Lüchow-Dannenberg e.V., Climate Core and Green/EFA MEPs Group in the European Parliament, Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung (HBS) and its offices in Berlin, Brussels, Paris, Prague, and Washington DC, KLAR! Schweiz, Annette und Wolf Römmig, and the Swiss Energy Foundation. Thank you all for making this possible! THE WORLD NUCLEAR WASTE REPORT — 2019 3 FOREWORD More than 40 years ago in my home region, the forest near the village of Gorleben was chosen as the location for the German National Nuclear Waste Disposal Center. The site, which is now at the country’s center but at the time was located directly on the border between East and West Germany, was meant to host all facilities for reprocessing, treatment, storage, and a deep geological repository. The company responsible (which has long since closed) intended to open the repository for spent fuel in the salt dome named Gorleben-Rambow in 1999. After Fukushima, the German government decided to phase out nuclear energy for the second time. The experience of the nuclear catastrophe in Japan in 2011 also set in motion the review of the plans for the repository at Gorleben. After around 40 years of debating and fighting over Gorleben, the German government and parliament decided in favor of a new participatory site selection process for the repos- itory for high-level nuclear waste.
