Inspired by 1961 events in the life of Florida State University quarterback Victor C. Prinzi during his time at the Florida School for Boys (now known as the Dozier School for Boys), Imregi and Minard's Coach in Cottage C dramatizes how institutional life burns inside the minds and souls of faculty and boys alike. On a crisp February morning in 1961, twenty-five-year-old Matt Grazi faces the most unwanted change of his life. His pro-ball career over, he stands as coach across the field from a platoon of teenage delinquents at Colby Hill School for Boys (CHB) in the northern panhandle of Florida. Matt understands a successful coaching season is his chance to remain in the football world, and his opportunity to give value to his years spent on the field. Not one to back away from a challenge, he gears up to communicate with the teens at the Florida reform school only to find CHB is riddled with complications. Harry Beauregard, Bo, is a superb athlete and boxer, and could be a physical asset to the team, but is defiant and has his own set of rules. With a personal vengeance, Matt mentors Bo and uses sports to develop a new sense of awareness and pride. He struggles to recruit every boy who wants to play, and fights to bring the boys together as a team.Amid gross and unjust brutalities at one of the largest juvenile justice facilities in the nation, Matt and Bo share a journey that transforms their lives. In this place of injustice, frustration, anger, and sadness, they cultivate a relationship similar to that of a father and son.
Ryana, a worthless girl-child, is sold to a mysterious woman who takes her to the home of the Shadow Sisters who are prized for their abilities as spies and assassins. She survives years of training in spite of being unconventional: adopting poisonous bats as familiars--something no one else would dare to do; choosing the blow dart as her weapon of choice--a weapon the Sisters don't teach; and relying on intuition rather than logic.As she completes her training, the Shadow Sisters are under attack. The senior Sister selects Ryana to find out who is killing Sisters and why--because her intuitive approach has proved effective, even though her youth and inexperience makes it unlikely she will survive.As she travels through the kingdom as a member of a gypsy clan, she finds the only way she can protect the Sisters and hope to discover the underlying plot is through ever more violence and killing. As she proceeds through the provinces, her secret enemies come to call her the Sister of Death and become desperate to find and kill her. But in her desperate fight to protect the Sisterhood and the kingdom, Ryana fears that she has destroyed herself and the only life she ever wanted.

Between his practice and working at his family's ranch, his days aren't as exciting as they used to be--until Jessica Blair steps into his office.

Oral Arguments and Coalition Formation on the U.S. Supreme Court

The U.S. Supreme Court, with its controlled, highly institutionalized decision-making practices, provides an ideal environment for studying coalition formation. The process begins during the oral argument stage, which provides the justices with their first opportunity to hear one another's attitudes and concerns specific to a case. This information gathering allows them eventually to form a coalition.In order to uncover the workings of this process, the authors analyze oral argument transcripts from every case decided from 1998 through 2007 as well as the complete collection of notes kept during oral arguments by Justice Lewis F. Powell and Justice Harry A. Blackmun. Both justices clearly monitored their fellow justices' participation in the discussion and used their observations to craft opinions their colleagues would be likely to support. This study represents a major step forward in the understanding of coalition formation, which is a crucial aspect of many areas of political debate and decision making.

Understand hydrogen as an energy resource and its potential as a dynamic solution for a carbon-neutral economy Hydrogen is an energy carrier that can be used to store, move, and deliver energy produced from other sources. It has the potential for high energy efficiency, significant environmental and social benefits, and economic competitiveness. Traditional energy resources will not be able to meet the growing energy demand, despite the advances in energy management and energy conservation—understanding how hydrogen energy can solve this problem is crucial. Hydrogen Energy: Principles and Applications provides the information needed by energy resource planners, scientists, engineers, and government officials to make informed energy-related decisions. Divided into three parts, the book opens with an introduction to various energy issues, sources, and regulations, including the basics of thermodynamics and fuel cells. The second part addresses the practical aspects of hydrogen energy, such as availability, distribution, extraction, processing, purification, transportation, transmission, and storage. The final section details the economics, energy-environmental interactions, and ethical and political considerations of the development and use of hydrogen energy, including discussion of investment and business contacts, energy option analysis and optimization, and future prospects. Covering the fundamentals of hydrogen energy with a thorough and accessible approach, the book: Equips readers with a well-rounded working knowledge of hydrogen energyCovers the latest technological advances, economic considerations, and the role hydrogen plays in a renewable energy economyOffers a pragmatic, real-world perspective rather than focusing on theoretical issuesContains nearly 50 illustrative examples ranging from elementary thermodynamic calculations to optimization applications using linear programming Hydrogen Energy: Principles and Applications is a must-read for those working in the energy industry, particularly environmental engineering and science professionals, as well as government officials, policymakers, instructors, and trainers involved in energy-related fields.
