Listening to the voices: the experiences of African American female student athletes.

Abstract: “Women of color …have historically been silenced in society and sport” (Smith, 1992, p. 228). This study examined the sport participation patterns of 12 African American female collegiate student athletes using qualitative methods. Data were collected at a large midwestern university during the 1998—99 academic year. An emergent theme was the effect of silencing by the media, athletic administrators, coaches, and other student athletes on the experiences of African American female student athletes. The findings are presented in the following order: the theoretical framework for the study, an introduction to silencing, an overview of the research analyses, a description of the research setting, and a presentation of the data surrounding the theme of silencing as told through the participants' voices. Following these sections is a discussion and suggestions for future research.

Three-Dimensional Homochiral Transition-Metal Camphorate Architectures Directed by a Flexible Auxiliary Ligand

Abstract: Reported here are four homochiral and one racemic chiral compounds assembled from transition metals (Fe2+, Co2+, and Ni2+), rigid enantiopure camphoric acid, and flexible 4,4′-trimethylenedipyridine; they feature an unusual homochiral three-dimensional supramolecular assembly (resulting from catenation of 4-connected bilayers) as well as a homochiral 3-fold interpenetrating diamond net and a noninterpenetrating primitive cubic net.

Phantom limbs of patients with spinal cord injury.

Abstract: REVIEW OF LITERATURE THE LITERATURE is replete with information on the phantom limb of the amputee. Data are also readily available which are concerned with disturbances of the body scheme. Periphery and center have thus found attention with regard to phantom phenomena; in contrast, little is known of the phantoms which accompany an injury of the spinal cord. Riddoch 1 and Mayer-Gross 2 are the only authors to have reported their observations on patients (and the number is relatively small) with injuries of the spinal cord. One reason for the scarcity of information may be that the survival period following trauma to the spinal cord was brief in the past. Another reason for the "apparent rarity" may be, in the words of Riddoch, 1c that the "phantoms may exactly coincide with the real limbs." Recent advances of management and rehabilitation in paraplegic centers 3 have made possible a study on

A Labor of Love or Labor Itself Care Work among Adult Brothers and Sisters

Abstract: Although many have examined care work within families, few have assessed caregiving among adult brothers and sisters. Based on original data, this article lends a multifaceted view of sibling care work by examining the amount and kind of help adults provide to all siblings in their family and the manner in which the social characteristics of sibling care providers, recipients, their shared relationship, and the family of origin shapes caregiving. The authors found that the vast majority of adults provide a wide range of care to their siblings on a yearly, even monthly basis. Gender, age, and social class shape sibling help, whereas race exerts little effect. Unmarried parents receive significantly less help than do their married and childless counterparts. Finally, sibling care work depends on family context: Having a living parent facilitates caregiving among siblings, whereas greater family size forces adults to act judiciously about what and to whom they give.
