In this study, we use new data from the Philadelphia Survey of Child Care & Work to expand on previous analyses: we include child care problems as a work obstacle, & we analyze both current welfare recipients & non-welfare "working poor" mothers. Results show that two main obstacles have a large impact on full-time work: poor mental health & child care problems. Net of other factors, mothers with severe child care problems are 22 percent less likely to work full time. Dividing the sample by welfare status, we find a child care problems effect for both groups. Among welfare recipients, the gap in full-time work between those with severe child care problems & those without is 30 percent. Among the working poor, child care problems reduce the chance of full-time work by about 18 percent. Our findings show that improving mothers' child care situation can significantly improve their ability to support their families. Tables, Figures, References. Adapted from the source document.

Major changes in attitude are permitting co-operation of press, bar and bench in voluntary committees working to influence news reporting that might prejudice criminal cases. Efforts are led by the ASNE and the ABA.

This paper empirically analyzes the joint impact of democracy and press freedom on corruption. Based in the theoretical literature, we argue that both institutional features are complements rather than substitutes in controlling corruption. Our regressions are based on a cross section of 170 countries covering the period from 2005 to 2010 as well as on panel evidence for 175 countries from 1996 to 2010. The results show that democratic elections only work in controlling corruption, if there is a certain degree of press freedom in a country, vice versa. Our policy implication is that democratic reforms are more effective if they are accompanied by institutional reforms strengthening the monitoring of politicians.

Abstract
This article uses the myth of the many‐headed Hydra, commonly employed by members of various ruling classes around the Atlantic to describe the class struggles that surrounded them, to illuminate the history of the working class in the eighteenth century. It concentrates on two groups of workers, wage laborers (especially sailors) and slaves, two zones of the Atlantic, Europe and North America, and four moments in the history of the Atlantic working class: 1747, when, in the Knowles Riot in Boston, sailors and slaves fought the King's press gangs and in so doing created one of the central ideas of the 'Age of Revolution' 1768, when, in the London port strike, sailors, Irish coal heavers, and others pioneered one of the central ideas and activities of the modern working‐class movement, the strike; 1776, when, in the American Revolution, sailors and slaves helped to instigate and win the world's first colonial war for liberation; and 1780, when, in the Gordon Riots, the polyglot working class of London liberated the prisons amid the greatest municipal insurrection of the eighteenth century. It argues that fixed, static notions of race, ethnicity, and nationality among historians have obscured a vital world of cooperation and accomplishment within a multi‐racial, multi‐ethnic, international working class.

No' si mura, telle fut la réponse que Cosimo il Vecchio donna à ses amis qui s nquéraient de savoir pourquoi il se retirait des affaires publiques. Elle exprimait sa conviction ultime que rien ne resterait de lui, que ces bâtiments qu'il construisait alors. C'est une devise qui aujourd'jui correspond aussi parfaitement à la situation de l'Institut universitaire européen, encore en pleine construction, et installé dans cette merveille de la Renaissance florentine, la Badia Fiesolana, que Cosimo il Vecchio, architecte amateur passionné, bâtit dans les dernières années de sa vie et dont il suivait l'avancement chaque jour sur le chantier. Nous l'avons donc donnée comme titre à cette sélection de travaux parus ces dernières années, dont le but est d'illustrer comment se bâtit, sans modèle académique préexistant, dans des circonstances parfois difficiles, et non sans périodes d'incertitude, cette communauté scientifique interdisciplinaire et internationale qui a la mission d'initier de jeunes européens à la recherche sur les grands thèmes historiques, juridiques, économiques, sociaux et culturels de l'Europe. A l'occasion du dixième anniversaire du commencement de cette aventure, nous dédions ce florilège, qui reflète la diversité des conceptions scientifiques et des traditions nationales présentes à l'Institut, à M. Max KOHNSTAMM, qui en fut le premier Président au cours de six années cruciales, et qui a jeté les solides fondations sur lesquelles l'Institut peut s'élever à la hauteur de sa tâche. ; --I.

In this monograph, the historical evolution of the Mozambican press is linked to the evolution of the national political context. What role did the press play under the authoritarian regime? How did the press fare during the democratic transition? How did the media contribute to mould a vision of political events? This new issue of IFAS Working Papers sheds light on these questions by relying on in-depth analyses of the relationship between the media, the government in power and public opinion in the context of the democratic transition of Mozambique during the 1990s, thus raising the question of expansion of an independent Mozambican press as a sine qua non condition for the democratic development of the country.
