Paperback / softback. New. Boston's Central Artery/Tunnel Project, a 7.8 mile system of bridges and underground highways and ramps, is the most expensive public works project ever undertaken in the United States. The original cost estimate of $2.6 billion has already been exceeded by $12 billion, and the project will not be completed until 2005, seven years late. The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority (MTA), the public steward of the project, requested that the National Research Council carry out an independent assessment of the project's management and contract administration practices, with a focus on the present situation and measures that should be taken to bring the project to a successful conclusion. This report presents the committee's findings and recommendations pertaining to cost, scheduling, and transitioning from the current organization dominated by consultants to an operations organization composed largely of full-time MTA staff. The report recommends that MTA establish an external, independent, peer-review program to address technical and management issues until the transition to operations and maintenance is complete; begin a media campaign now to teach drivers how to use the new system safely; and develop, immediately implement, and maintain a comprehensive security program., 6, New York: Fungal Research Group, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, 2001.

From the publisher: "This book contains the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Fungi, Mycotoxins and Bioaerosols - Health effects, Assessment, Prevention and Control, a scientific meeting that brought together physicians, veterinarians, industrial hygienists, mycologists, chemists, public health specialists, toxicologists, and laboratory specialists among many others. Four years have passed since the first International Conference in Saratoga Springs, New York: Fungi and Bacteria in Indoor Air Environments in fall of 1994 (Johanning and Yang, 1995). Again, we gathered a wide range of health professionals, indoor air consultants, research scientists and policy makers from universities and governmental agencies, such as Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Institute for Occupational and Environmental Health (NIOSH) and the Department of Health (DOH) - and last but not least the stake holders: representatives of patients, insurance companies, building managers, lawyers and unions to present new research results and to discuss the health implications of microbials in indoor environments or industries. Following our second meeting in 1996 that focused more on specific technical issues related to microbial remediation in buildings, we felt it was again time to get together, to talk and to compare notes about this theme that has become such a hot topic for the scientific community, but also for the public and the media. It became truly an international meeting with almost 350 people, and about half of the participants coming from around the world, from Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Slovakia, South Africa, Sweden and other countries - with more than 90 original presentations on the health effects, assessment, prevention and control of bioaerosols, fungi and mycotoxins at home or in the workplace. The stated learning objectives were to Discuss current data and new information on exposure, assessment, analytical methods, applied research, pathology, epidemiology, microbiology, health effects, prevention and mitigation of bioaerosol exposure · Recognize the importance of bioaerosol exposure and adverse health effects; Develop a multi-disciplinary team approach for the recognition and management of bioaerosol exposure. This meeting has become recognized as a unique forum to present original research to a critical peer-audience, to discuss public health policies, but also to review concrete technical issues about detection and control of fungi and bacteria in our environment. The presented papers and scientific debate also showed that this is a topic of international concern. It crosses national barriers and affects different climatic zones. Since our first meeting in 1994 there is hardly any professional conference meeting on indoor air quality and health issues that does not mention moisture and water damage-related mold problems in buildings. The apparent widespread nature of the problems and the far reaching public health implications are gaining wider recognition among professionals and the lay public, but surely not without controversies and conflict of interest in some cases.".

Most North American colleges have programs that help students understand the harm done to victims of sexual violence and, if prosecuted, the potential consequences of their perpetrators. However, only a few programs also address those aspects of masculine culture that surround sexual assault. Sexual Assault in Context addresses the undesirable aspects of masculine culture that sustains the violation of women and girls. It examines several typically overlooked patterns of behavior that provide the basis for sexual assault and provides an overview of masculine psychological development as a context for sexual assault. The book also includes prevention strategies, information on funding and consultation issues, and additional resources for investigating further into male gender awareness and sexual assault. The text's hands-on, practical approach, helps counseling professionals negotiate educational, organizational, and logistical issues in helping college men understand the gendered context of sexual assault and harassment. This resource is intended to help reduce the incidence of sexual assault on college campuses, as well as help men gain a greater understanding of: cultural gender pressures; relationship skills; their impact on others; and the considerable influence male peer cultures have on how women are treated. Sexual Assault in Context provides an easy-to-read synopsis of male gender and sexual assault education strategies. It is intended as a resource for college counseling and/or violence prevention programs, and for those interested in understanding the psychological and social effects of the current culture of masculinity., 6<
