The Vital and Health Statistics Series, or what documents and
medical librarians call The Rainbow Series, includes four series
published by the U.S. National Health Survey between 1958 and 1963,
and eighteen series published by the National Center for Health
Statistics since 1963. Sixteen of these series are still active. In
this volume, Jim Walsh and A. James Bothmer list, annotate, and
index all of the reports published in the Rainbow Series, a total
of 853 reports. Each entry contains standard bibliographical
information and cataloging, publisher, and index/abstract access
information. The body of the book arranges the reports first by
series and then by report number within each series. Each series
begins with a series cover sheet, which provides general
information about the series. The work concludes with author,
title, and subject indexes. The subject index uses the Library of
Congress Subject Headings and the National Library of Medicine
Subject Headings. This useful volume is the only source that lists,
annotates, and indexes all of the reports and that provides
supplemental information that will enhance reference, interlibrary
loan, cataloging, and acquisition information, and that will
enhance the use of these valuable reports.

A veteran Twin Cities journalist and raconteur summons the life of
the city after reporting and recording its stories for more than
thirty years Two or three times a week, as a columnist, hustling
freelance writer, and genuinely curious reporter, Jim Walsh would
hang out in a coffee shop or a bar, or wander in a club or on a
side street, and invariably a story would unfold-one more chapter
in the story of Minneapolis, the city that was his home and his
beat for more than thirty years. Fear and Loving in South
Minneapolis tells that story, collecting the encounters and
adventures and lives that make a city hum-and make South
Minneapolis what it is. Here is a man who drives around Minneapolis
in a van that sports a neon sign and keeps a running tally of the
soldiers killed in Iraq. Here is another, haunted by the woman he
fell in love with, and lost, many years ago at the Minnesota Music
Cafe on St. Paul's East Side. Here are strangers on a cold night on
the corner of Forty-sixth and Nicollet, finding comfort in each
other's company in the wake of the shootings in Paris. And here are
Walsh's own memories catching up with him: the woman who joined him
in representing "junior royalty" for the Minneapolis Aquatennial
when they were both seven years old; the lost friend, Soul Asylum's
Karl Mueller, recalled while sitting on his memorial bench at
Walsh's go-to refuge, the Rose Gardens near Lake Harriet. These
everyday interactions, ordinary people, and quiet moments in Jim
Walsh's writing create an extraordinary picture of a city's life.
James Joyce famously bragged that if Dublin were ever destroyed, it
could be rebuilt in its entirety from his written works. The
Minneapolis that Jim Walsh maps is more a matter of heart, of urban
life built on human connections, than of streets intersecting and
literal landmarks: it is that lived city, documented in measures
large and small, that his book brings so vividly to mind, drafting
a blueprint of a community's soul and inviting a reader into the
boundless, enduring experience of Fear and Loving in South
Minneapolis.
Throughout the 1990s, Prince feuded with his record label, Warner
Bros., over his rights as an independent recording artist-and made
some of the most brilliant music of his career. During that time,
Jim Walsh covered Prince for the St. Paul Pioneer Press and wrote
about him passionately, thoughtfully, exhaustively. Here, in real
time, is that coverage: a clip-by-clip look back at Prince in the
'90s. Walsh's newly unearthed interviews, essays, columns, and
reviews make Gold Experience an essential slice of history for
fans, scholars, and latecomers to the Minneapolis-born musical
genius Prince Rogers Nelson (June 7, 1958-April 21, 2016). Join
Walsh at the 1994 NBA All-Star game after party and release bash
for the single "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World." Accompany
him to the after-hours clubs Erotic City, Glam Slam, and, of
course, Paisley Park. Meet Prince's wife and bandmate Mayte (and
while you're at it, take in the wedding and reception). Enjoy a
two-hour sit-down interview with Prince. Explore Prince's veganism,
talk to fans in line for a Target Center show, preview the "Jam of
the Year" concert and check in at the after party. The passions and
influences, from Mozart to funk godfather Larry Graham; the gigs
and the Paisley Park garage sale; Walsh's open letter to the artist
and his reflections on religion and spirituality. This is Prince as
few have seen him, reported as only Jim Walsh can: a portrait of
the artist from a dizzying array of angles, captured in living
color for all time.
Much has changed in the area of school law since the first edition
of The Educator's Guide was published in 1986. This new ninth
edition offers an authoritative source on all major dimensions of
Texas school law through the 2017 legislative sessions. Intended
for educators, school board members, interested attorneys, and
taxpayers, the ninth edition explains what the law is and what the
implications are for effective school operations. It is designed to
help professional educators avoid expensive and time-consuming
lawsuits by taking effective preventive action. It is an especially
valuable resource for school law courses and staff development
sessions. The ninth edition begins with a review of the legal
structure of the Texas school system, incorporating recent
innovative features such as charter schools and districts of
innovation. Successive chapters address attendance, the
instructional program, service to students with special needs, the
rights of public school employees, the role of religion, student
discipline, governmental transparency, privacy, parent rights, and
the parameters of legal liability for schools and school personnel.
The book includes discussion of major federal legislation, such as
the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act, Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Every Student Succeeds Act. On
the state level, the book incorporates new laws pertaining to
cyberbullying and inappropriate relationships between students and
employees. Key points are illustrated through case law, and a
complete index of case citations is included.
This is the first book-length study of why states sometimes ignore,
oppose, or undermine elements of the nuclear nonproliferation
regime-even as they formally support it. Anchored by the Treaty on
the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the nuclear
nonproliferation regime is the constellation of agreements,
initiatives, and norms that work in concert to regulate nuclear
material and technology. The essays gathered here show that
attitudes on nonproliferation depend on a ""complex, contingent
decision calculus,"" as states continually gauge how their actions
within the regime will affect trade, regional standing, and other
interests vital to any nation. The first four essays take
theoretical approaches to such topics as a framework for
understanding challenges to collective action; clandestine
proliferation under the Bush and Obama administrations and its
impact on regime legitimacy; threat construction as a lens through
which to view resistance to nonproliferation measures; and the
debate over the relationship between nuclear disarmament and
nonproliferation. Essays comprising the second part of the book use
regional and state-specific case studies to look at how U.S.
security guarantees affect the willingness of states to support the
regime; question the perceived spoiler role of a ""vocal minority""
within the Non-Aligned Movement; challenge notions that Russia is
using the regime to build a coalition hostile to the United States;
contrast nonproliferation strategies among Latin American
countries; and explain the lag in adoption of an Additional
Protocol by some Middle East and North African countries. Getting
countries to cooperate on nonproliferation efforts is an ongoing
challenge. These essays show that success must be measured not only
by how many states join the effort but also by how they participate
once they join.
Bar Yarns and Manic Depressive Mix Tapes distills thirty delirious,
jam-packed years of some of the best music writing ever to come out
of the Twin Cities. As a writer and musician, the ever-curious Jim
Walsh has lived a life immersed in music, and it all makes its way
into his columns and feature articles, interviews and reviews,
including personal essays on life, love, music, family, death, and,
yes, the manic-depressive highs and lows that come with being an
obsessive music lover and listener. From Minneapolis's own Prince
to such far-flung acts as David Bowie, the Waterboys, Lucinda
Williams, Parliament-Funkadelic, L7, the Rolling Stones, the
Ramones, U2, Hank Williams, Britney Spears, Elvis Presley and
Nirvana, Walsh's work treats us to a chorus of the voices and
sounds that have made the music scene over the past three decades.
The big names are here, from Rosanne Cash to Bruce Springsteen to
Bob Marley and Jackson Browne, but so are those a little shy of
superstardom, like the Tin Star Sisters and Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt,
the Gear Daddies, Semisonic, and The Belfast Cowboys. The book is
also a tour (de force) of the Twin Cities' most celebrated music
venues past and present, from the Prom Ballroom to Paisley Park to
Duffy's. When Walsh isn't celebrating the sheer magic of live music
or dreaming to tunes blasting from the car console, he might be
surveying the scene with the Hamm's Bear at Grumpy's or the Double
Deuce or singing the last night at the Uptown Bar blues. Whether
he's dishing dirt with Yoko Ono or digging the Replacements' roots,
giving an old rocker a spin or offering a mic to the latest
upstart, Jim Walsh reminds us that in the land of a thousand lakes
there are a thousand dances, and the music never dies. Capturing
the pure notes and character of the sound of the Twin Cities and
beyond, with a keen eye for trends and the telling detail, his book
truly is a mix tape of thirty years of unforgettable music.
