"The Consolidated Assistance Program, Reforming Welfare by Synchronizing Public Assistance Benefits"
No full textLevin-Waldman examines the structure of existing welfare programs and concludes that the current array of benefits could be synchronized and consolidated to create a new system that would provide economic incentives to work. He suggests combining elements of the earned income tax credit (EITC) and current welfare programs into one program, a consolidated assistance program (CAP). Levin-Waldman argues that a program composed of an assistance component (with one set of benefits for working parents and a different set for nonworking parents) and a child support component could be designed to assure minimal subsistence to those unable to work while providing incentives for those on welfare to work without, in effect, penalizing them for getting off welfare. Such a program would reform welfare more expeditiously than a plan that would simply expand the EITC or put a time limit on welfare benefits. Moreover, such a plan would not necessarily add to the national budget deficit.

Island culture and the value of literacy on Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland
No full textLiteracy, like formal education in general, is a product of cultural values. Recognition and awareness of cultural values and practices is integral to understanding the varied meaning(s), use(s), and impact(s) of literacy specific to a given community or location because literacy cannot be studied in isolation; indeed, literacy must be studied in relation to a particular sociocultural context because the meanings and uses vary across cultural boundaries. Furthermore, cultural analysis can be challenging under the best of conditions, but it is especially challenging in the context of small island societies. In the latter, intellectual values and a commitment to formal education tends to be marginalised by the preservation and emphasis on values and traditions historically springing from economic survival—fishing and farming, for example. Through the lens of Island Studies (Nissology), I have examined the relationship between literacies and cultural practices in Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island. More specifically, by way of a comparative case study between one Newfoundland and one Prince Edward Island community, I have demonstrated that although literacy and education are valued and deemed important by islanders, other activities and values, such as employment, may (and often do) take greater priority.Source: Masters Abstracts International, Volume: 46-03, page: 1222

Trichinella spiralis in sylvatic hosts from Prince Edward Island
No full textLarvae of Trichinella sp. were found in two of 208 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and one of 125 coyotes (Canis latrans) obtained from trappers from Prince Edward Island (Canada) in 1995 and 1996. A polymerase chain reaction based DNA biotyping method revealed the larvae to be isolates of Trichinella spiralis. This is the first verified identification of T. spiralis in sylvatic hosts from Canada.LR: 20031114; PUBM: Print; JID: 0244160; ppublishSource type: Electronic(1

Effects of an azinphos-methyl runoff event on macroinvertebrates in the Wilmot River, Prince Edward Island, Canada
No full textHigh levels of azinphos-methyl (0.4–0.8 μg/L) were detected in the Wilmot River, Prince Edward Island, Canada, following runoff from an agricultural field after a heavy rainfall on 19 July 2002. Benthic macroinvertebrate abundance and diversity were sharply lower in samples collected 1 d after the event compared with samples collected in the same manner in July or October 2001. The greatest effects were noticed on the aquatic insects, whose abundance declined from >10 000 individuals per 3-min kick sample in July 2001 to etc.) confirmed that aquatic insects were more heavily targeted by the insecticide than non-insect invertebrates. This resulted in a shift in the community towards non-insect taxa that were better able to avoid or tolerate this type of pollution.Source type: Electronic(1
Clinicopathologic Analysis of Chondroblastoma in Adults: A Single-Institution Case Series
No full textChondroblastoma is a rare benign tumor of immature cartilage cells that generally occurs in an epiphyseal location of skeletally immature individuals. However, a few studies have reported cases in older patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features of chondroblastoma in an adult population. The pathology archives of our institution were searched for cases of chondroblastoma diagnosed in patients ≥25 years of age. Of 14 patients identified, 8 were male and 6 were female with a median age of 34 years (range = 29-54 years). Most lesions occurred in short bones of hands and feet (N = 7, 50%), followed by the long tubular bones (N = 4, 28%). All demonstrated typical histologic features of chondroblastoma, but more extensive calcification, necrosis, and degenerative changes were also seen. At follow-up (median = 73.5 months), 2 patients (17%) had local recurrence. None had metastasis. In summary, chondroblastoma in adults tends to involve the short bones of the hands and feet and demonstrate histologic changes associated with long-standing growth of a benign tumor
