Accelerated Adoption Presented by Margaret Burt, Esq. NYS Citizens' Coalition for Children, Inc. 14th Annual Statewide Adoption Training Conference Adoption 2003: How Are the Children? Accelerated Adoption Issues to Consider Agency must build into it's process regarding terminations and surrenders a review of the possibility for an accelerated adoption. Clearly not all and probably not most of the cases fall into this category but without a discussion at this stage it will never happen. All foster care workers and all persons involved in the process to decide to file a TPR or accept a surrender must be aware of accelerated adoption. Ideally whatever process is used would have built in check list to require a least a consideration. Likely types of cases would always have to include a situation where the adoptive resource had already been identified and child in that home for three months or will have been by time of adoption or situations where the court could be given good reason to waive the three months A. Parents of child are deceased

Feb 16, 2004 Georgia has become the fourth-largest textbook adoption state, but K-12 publishers maintain their focus on the top three: California, Texas and Florida. While Georgia appeared intent in recent weeks on re-enacting the Scopes trial, budget-beleaguered legislators in Texas and California are grappling with major issues in school finance, including instructional materials, that will shape the spending climate in 2005. Florida is the bright spot in the 2004 legislative season. Texas: Top-to-Bottom Review The Texas Legislature is facing a likely special session on school finance this spring"the beast of all special sessions," Joe Bill Watkins, the state lobbyist for the Association of American Publishers, told industry leaders at the AAP School Division annual meeting Feb. 5. The funding and cost of instructional materials, as well as the selection and distribution of textbooks, undoubtedly will be part of the debate, Watkins said.

Tool Adoption Issues in a Very Large Software Company Estublier Jacky, Favre Jean-Marie, Sanlaville Rémy The paper is published : CR: D.2.9 Abstract Tool adoption is a major issue in software engineering. In the last decades many ideas and tools have been developed in laboratories but only a few of them had a direct impact on software industry. This paper presents the results of a ten-years collaboration between the LSR-IMAG laboratory and Dassault Systèmes, one of the major software companies in Europe. Two scenarii in tool adoption are described. The first one describes the successful adoption of a configuration management tool, the second one describes issues in deploying reverse architecting tool in the company.

family finance HIVlife news ... travel In this channel Channel home Press Releases Signorile's Web Our Advertisers Site supporters All you need is love by Keith Boykin Gay.com Network More opinion: 'Down low' media frenzy Questioning the war Boykin's 411 In boards: Discuss this column A new film called "Daddy and Papa" looks at the issue of gay men adopting black children. Since many of these gay men are white, is transracial gay adoption a good thing? Many African Americans already have issues with transracial adoption, and many heterosexuals have problems with gay adoption. Combine the two and you have a powerfully controversial issue. 50,000 black children out there According to the federal government, more than 50,000 African-American children are available for adoption. Many are being selected by gay men such as Johnny Symons, who made the "Daddy and Papa" documentary. The arguments against transracial and gay adoption are not always based on prejudice. Opponents of the two types of adoptions tend to cloak their words in the familiar paternalistic language of "the best interest of the child." And arguably, a child might be more comfortable or even better off in a culturally familiar environment than in a nontraditional family. But that's as far as the logic goes. What's also clear is that all children are better off with a loving family than without a family at all. Those who argue for racial purity and sexual orientation litmus tests in adoption should explain how they plan to take care of the 50,000 black kids who need adoptive parents. It's not fair to the children to hold their happiness hostage to someone else's politically motivated agenda.

77. Vetiver Grass -- Vetiver Systems – Technology Dissemination And Adoption Issues Vetiver Systems – Technology Dissemination and adoption issues Criss Juliard in his paper Best Practices Establishing a National Vetiver Diffusion Program http://www.vetiver.com/TVN_adoption.htm

Criss Juliard in his paper "Best Practices Establishing a National Vetiver Diffusion Program" (see TVN Newsletter #21 ) asks the question "If Vetiver Grass Technology is so simple, inexpensive and good for the health of the soil, why isn't it promoted more broadly on a national scale in the same way vaccinations are promoted to preserve an individual's health?" I would add "why do some farmers and engineers use the technology and others don’t". These questions and others like them must be answered if we are to move ahead more rapidly with the application and use of Vetiver Systems as we now refer to a bundle of vetiver grass technologies. Criss Juliard continues "The answer is not related to the attractiveness of the technology, but to the challenge of dissemination" I agree. I Thailand has done wonderful work in researching and demonstrating VS but it has not been used as widely as should be expected. Research in Thailand carried out by Suchart Montrekusol et al of the Graduate School Chiang Mai University, Thailand Faculty of Agriculture - Extension Department, titled "Farmers' Perception and Practices in Vetiver Grass Cultivation (Vetiveria zizanioides nash) for Soil and Water Conservation in Mae Rim District, Chiang Mai Province" had the following observations and conclusions: Most farmers applied integrated farming systems. 88% percent of the farmers accessed agricultural information through neighbors and television, while they received information on using vetiver grass for soil and water conservation from government extension workers.
