No full textfrom the outside piece on outing, which is the act of revealing a closeted gay person\u27s homosexuality. While the author agrees that no one should out a private citizen, she argues that closeted gay or lesbian members of the media have a responsibility to either come out themselves or risk being outed by someone else, because they have the ability to effect so much positive change

No full textfrom the outside piece on women athletes, focusing on a remark University of Maine women\u27s basketball coach Joanne Palombo-McCallie made during a 1998 Maine Sunday Telegram interview on gender and sports. Palombo-McCallie said women want the same opportunities as men, but aren\u27t the same as men. But it was an added comment about how much she enjoys her femininity that upset the author, who suggests that Palombo-McCallie was actually distancing herself from the mannish, lesbian-types in women\u27s sports
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

No full textCover Story piece on Portland\u27s drag scene, which was once on the edge of extinction, but is revving up for a revival. Since the late 1980s, female impersonators in Portland have been gradually pushed to the performance periphery. Deb DiLuiso, owner of the Underground since 1995, said when she first bought the club there were drag shows every week, but she\u27s down to one a month now. In the mid-1990s, Zootz, Kaos and Millennium, three other Portland nightspots, began competing for the few remaining drag performers. Local promoter Richard Lawlor hopes his show Grand Illusions, will change that. The event, planned for June 3 at the Eastland Park hotel in Portland, is a two-hour drag extravaganza designed to draw a wider audience into the drag scene. With comments by several Portland drag queen performers

No full textCity piece on contract negotiations between the Blethen Maine Newspapers, publishers of the Portland Press Herald, and the Portland Newspaper Guild, which aren\u27t going well. Union members have gone without a pay raise since Nov. 30, 1997, shortly before Frank Blethen bought the Portland paper and other publications from Guy Gannett Communications. John Richardson, a union negotiator, says the Guild has twice agreed to extend its current contract to help Blethen increase the paper\u27s profitability. The latest contract extension expires June 30, and union members say the company is now fiscally fit, and it\u27s time to share the profits with the workforce

No full textMaine consumers can now choose from over 180 carriers for in-state telephone calls since regulators opened the door to competition in 1997. But many don\u27t look for cheaper phone service because they fear the process is too complicated. Finding the right company can involve a lot of research. To make the task easier, Phil Lindley, an analyst with Maine\u27s Public Utilities Commission, advises consumers to contact the public advocate\u27s office, which publishes a semi-annual Rate Watchers In-State Phone Guide.
