A panel of individuals who had been active in the group since its inception discussed the history of the group and their perception of the structure of our studies, and the session was opened to comments and questions from the general audience. It was a chance to look back at where we had come from and what we thought we had done, and to consider what we are now doing and where we may want to go. It was a review of the last five meetings of the Homicide Research Working Group and an open discussion of how we have changed and how we have stayed the same. The Goals of the Organization: It is impossible to consider the past, present or future of the Homicide Research Working Group without addressing its goals, because this is an organization whose sole purpose is set out in those goals. It has no other obligations (beyond annual membership dues), and no limits on, nor qualifications for, membership. As a consequence, these goals are paramount to understanding the evolution of the group, the ongoing concerns of the group, and the potential for the future. As developed initially by Richard and Becky Block and finalized by the participants at the Ann Arbor meeting, these goals are the following. 1. To forge links between research, epidemiology, and practical programs to reduce levels of mortality from violence. 2. To promote improved data quality and the linking of diverse homicide data sources. 3. To foster collaborative, interdisciplinary research on lethal and non-lethal violence. 4. To encourage more efficient sharing of techniques

A lively blend of family drama, scientific revelation, intimate interviews with friends, family, and some of the world’s leading scientific minds, it combines rare archival footage, stunning visual effects, moving dramatisation and off the wall comedy. Long Synopsis Frank Fenner was one of Australia’s greatest scientists. In a career spanning over sixty years, he helped save Australia’s troops from malaria in World War II; charted the course of myxomatosis as it decimated Australia’s feral rabbit population; was one of the leading figures in the global campaign which eliminated smallpox, arguably the greatest collective medical achievement in human history; and was a pioneering environmentalist. Frank’s life was both charmed, and marked by significant tragedy. A man universally loved, with a profound insight into the workings of the natural world, he was unable to save the lives of some of those closest to him. Yet he helped save the lives of millions he never knew. How did such a modest man, from humble beginnings, grow to become such a significant global figure? Microbes to Macrobes celebrates the life of Frank Fenner. A lively blend of family drama, scientific revelation, intimate interviews with friends, family, and some of the world’s leading scientific minds, it combines rare archival footage, stunning visual effects, moving dramatisation and off the wall comedy.

  • A SCREENTIME Production for ABC TV They Know the Law Backwards
    A SCREENTIME production for ABC TV They know the law backwards … … but they have a lot to learn about life! As at 30.7.11 Delving into the extraordinary world of the Department of Public Prosecutions and its young eager lawyers, CROWNIES is the new 22 x 1 hour drama produced by SCREENTIME Australia for ABC TV. CROWNIES follows five young solicitors, as they face the pressures and endearing madness of modern single life - in a fast paced workplace that highlights the moral dilemmas and big issues facing an apparently civilized society. In a world that exists solely to see ‘wrong-doers’ brought to justice, and where the average age of the solicitors is 27, there is a big divide between these young solicitors and the barristers at the top. Yet they are the initial point of contact with the police, and it is they who do most of the liaising with the victims and the witnesses - and recommend what goes to court. They are committed, idealistic and hard-working, but their lives away from the office are riddled with aspirations, explorations, fragile relationships and partying. A SCREENTIME production for ABC TV Page 2 ABOUT THE PRODUCTION Currently in production, the outstanding ensemble cast includes Todd Lasance (Cloudstreet, Underbelly Files – Tell Them Lucifer Was Here, Rescue Special Ops, Home & Away) Hamish Michael (Spirited, City Homicide, Lucky Miles); Ella Scott Lynch (City Homicide, All Saints, The Falls); Andrea Demetriades (Bell Shakespeare Company, All Saints) and Indiana Evans (A Model Daughter: The Killing of Caroline Byrne, H2O

Sir: In accordance with Paragraph No. 287, Revised Statutes of Arizona, of 1901, I have the honor to present the fourth binennial report of the Board of Control of Arizona, together with the reports of the super· intendents of the Territorial Prison at Yuma, Arizona, and the Insane Asylum of Arizona, at Phoenix. In presenting this report for your consideration, we do not claim that it is a marvel either of the cheapness or expense in the maintenance of either of the institutions reported herein, but we do expect to show that they have been conducted as cheaply as was prudent, having in mind the welfare of the Territory as well as that of the inmates. The prices of all kinds of food products and clothing have been higher and subject to more violent fluctuation than for any biennial period since the establishment of this Board, and if indeed the cost of maintenance has not exceeded that of previous years, it is solely due to the watchful care and efficiency of the superintendents in charge.

The district released its annual safe schools report at a school board meeting Sept. 7. The report shows almost every category of incident increased dramatically over the past year. For example, 143 students were report- ed to be involved in simple assault incidents in 2010 compared to 12 in 2009, and 490 cases of truancy were reported in 2010 compared to 76 in 2009. The large increases in reported incidents are due to a better method of data collec- tion, not necessarily an actual increase in the number of incidents, according to Dan Johnson, Tooele County School District sec- Maegan Burr ondary education director.
