The cruellest month

This April in Chicago the weather was unseasonably cold; Waterstone's closed their bookstore off Michigan Avenue; the Commission on Tall Buildings ruled that the twin Petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur and not the Sears tower were the tallest skyscrapers in the world; and dust blown from work on pipes caused two schools to be temporarily closed because of high lead levels. This coincided with a report from Boston suggesting that lead was an independent risk factor for hypertension and renal insufficiency. Elsewhere the law caught up again with a man, known for his engaging bedside manner, who first practised orthopaedics, then switched …

Risk assessment in child abuse prevention program

Experts in the field have begun to acknowledge the need for prevention in addition to child protection and treatment services to stem the increasing incidence of maltreatment ( Ayoub, Willett, & Robinson, 1992; U.S. General Accounting Office, 1992). To address this problem, many agencies have begun to target prevention services to high-risk communities with elevated levels of child abuse and other negative health outcomes for children. This strategy attempts to efficiently use scarce resources by focusing on the areas thought to be in greatest need of prevention services. Determining which families in such communities are at high risk for child abuse has proved, however, to be a complex and challenging undertaking. Numerous theoretical models exist that suggest that certain personal, familial, and environmental factors contribute to an increased likelihood of maltreatment. For example, learning theories suggest that individuals who have been raised in abusive or neglectful environments or have had limited experiences with positive relationships are likely to replicate these parenting behaviors with their own children (Steele, 1987). Individuals under stress or lacking the emotional or financial capacity to deal with the demands of child rearing may lash out at their children (Straus & Kantor, 1987). Still others argue that social policies that fail to nurture positive human interactions and leave communities without adequate social, health, or educational infrastructures create an environment ripe for abusive and violent behaviors (Garbarino, 1988). These theories have led to the development of various risk assessment models, most of which have been directed toward predicting a parent's likelihood of reabusing his or her child (McDonald & Marks, 1991; Schene & Bond, 1989).

The ideal route of preanesthetic drug administration in children has yet to be defined. Acceptability, effectiveness, and recovery profile are all factors in assessing a drug's utility as a preanesthetic medication. Nasal midazolam can be irritating and cause crying during the first minute after administration. Although we do not have formal statistics on parent/child acceptance, at our institution many parents ask to take nasal midazolam (the nose drops) home for use after surgery.The second issue raised by Orman--drug use for unapproved indications in pediatric patients--is a serious and ethically disturbing matter. Pediatric anesthesiologists frequently administer medications for indications that are not included in the labeling approved by the Food and Drug Administration (the package insert). As Orman suggests, this practice places the physician at risk both legally and financially. In addition, the lack of approved drug labeling has made children

Chicago's North Michigan Avenue: Planning and Development, 1900-1930.

Since its opening in the 1920s, Chicago's North Michigan Avenue has been one of the city's most prestigious commerical corridors, lined by some of its most architecturally distinctive business, residential, and hotel buildings. Planned by Daniel Burnham in 1909, the avenue became the principal connecting link between downtown and the wealthy, residential Gold Coast north of the Loop. Some thirty buildings were constructed along its path in the ten-year period before the Depression, an urban expansion comparable in significance to that of Pennsylvania and Park Avenues. John W. Stamper traces the complex development of North Michigan Avenue from the 1880s to the 1920s building boom that solidified its character and economic base, describing the initiation of the planning process by private interests to its execution aided by the city's powerful condemnation and taxation proceedings. He focuses on individual buildings constructed on the avenue, including the Renaissance- and Gothic-inspired Wrigley Building, Tribune Tower, and Drake Hotel, and places them within the context of factors governing their construction property ownership, financing, zoning laws, design theory, and advertising. Stamper compares this stylistically diverse mixture of low- and high-rise structures with earlier, rejected planning proposals, all of which had prescribed a uniformly designed, European-like avenue of continuous cornice heights, consistent facade widths, and complementary stylistic features. He analyzes the drastically different character the avenue took by 1930, with high-rise towers reaching thirty stories and beyond, in terms of the clash among economic, political, and architectural interests. His argument that the discrepancies between the rejected plans and reality illustrate the developers' choice of economic return on their investment over aesthetic community is extended through to the present avenue and the virtual disregard of the urban qualities proposed at its inception. Generously illustrated, with an epilogue condensing the avenue's history between the end of World War II and the present, this is an exhaustive account of an important topic in the history of modern architecture and city planning.

Getting Involved in the City Teaching Smart School

About once a year, one of my community college students will ask, If you know so much about business, why do you teach?'' To teach and consult/' I answer, been my career goal for as long as I can remember. Each supplies lifeblood to the other. During the summer of 1991, I ac cepted a consulting engagement to de sign and teach a course for inner-city teenagers enrolled in the mayor's sum mer youth program at the Chicago campus of National-Louis University. The university, known as National College of Education for its first 100 years, has nine campuses in the U.S. and Europe, including a small one on Chicago's Michigan Avenue. It re ceived funding for the ninth year as a community-based agency in the pro gram, officially called the Mayor's Of fice of Employment and Training Pro gram or MET. MET employs 16,000 young men and women annually be tween fourteen and twenty-one years old from low-income families in Chica go. Participants work for six weeks at 1,400 work sites in supervised jobs pay ing $4.25 an hour (Paradiso 1991). Many forces influenced the educa tional mission and strategies of the new course.
