To commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the restoration of the
diaconate as a permanent and stable order of ministry in the United
States, the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) at
Georgetown University undertook a contemporary study of the
diaconate in the United States. Building on studies completed in
1981 and 1995 as well as annual research that CARA has conducted
for the USCCB since 2005, CARA designed a comprehensive study of
deacons, their wives, diaconate directors, and bishops to explore
all aspects of this ministry. This book explores trends in the
diaconate as well as current and emerging opportunities and
challenges in the ministry. Deacons and their wives, diaconate
directors, and bishops share insights about how those trends impact
diaconal ministry today and into the future.

Successful operation of the activated sludge process relies heavily
on the ability to effectively separate mixed liquor into return
activated sludge (RAS) and a high quality final effluent. Solids
separation efficiency is dictated in large part by the relative
population of floc-forming and filamentous microorganisms present
in the activated sludge. During normal operation, mixed liquor will
be composed primarily of floc-formers with relatively low levels of
filamentous organisms. Some population of filamentous organisms is
necessary to promote the formation of larger flocs and prevent
development of a "pin-floc" condition, which often results in high
effluent turbidities (Jenkins, 2004). However, when conditions
favoring the growth of filaments over floc-formers occur, a
condition commonly referred to as filamentous "bulking" may occur.

A seminal moment in the study of U.S. Catholic parish life came in
the 1980s with the publication of a series of reports from the
ground-breaking Notre Dame Study of Catholic Parish Life. These
reports are now badly outdated, as Catholic dioceses grapple with
new challenges that didnt exist in the 80s. Topics that were not
considered then, like greater Catholic mobility, increased cultural
diversity, and structural re-organization as well as the rise of
lay leadership, have attained new significance. This timely book,
based on more than a decade of research, provides an in-depth
portrait and analysis of the current state of parish life and
leadership. Unique in the scope of the research and the timeliness
of its findings, the book critically examines the current state of
parish life. The authors draw on data from national polls of
Catholics, national surveys of parishes, and thousands of in-pew
surveys which explore parishioner's needs, experiences, and
satisfaction with parish life in the twenty-first century. The book
provides a unique 360- degree view of parish life from the
perspective of pastors, parish staff, parishioners, as well as the
larger Catholic population.
The first of its kind, this book offers a global overview of the
first-year curriculum in a single volume. In short, accessible
lessons, Get a Running Start covers all the major concepts taught
in each of the courses most commonly offered in the first year of
law school: criminal law, torts, civil procedure, constitutional
law, property, and contracts. (See also a companion volume, Stay
Ahead of the Pack: Your Comprehensive Guide to the Upper Level
Curriculum, which covers the most common 2L and 3L courses:
administrative law, business associations, criminal procedure,
evidence, personal income tax, and professional responsibility.)
Each of the courses comprising this book is written by a specialist
in the field who is a decorated teacher with years of experience in
the classroom. In this volume, they have distilled that experience
and expertise to produce the tool they wish they had when they
first were thinking about and then actually began law school: a
clear, concise introduction to the entire first-year curriculum.
Get a Running Start is a valuable tool for first-year law students,
giving them a running start on their law school careers and putting
them in the best position to enter the profession. By reading
through all the lessons for a course, first-year students will get
a complete overview of each course early in the semester. As the
semester goes forward, students can accelerate their learning and
comprehension by reviewing individual lessons when preparing for
class. As the semester comes to a close, the lessons in this book
provide an invaluable framework for outlining and exam preparation.
Get a Running Start is also the ideal introduction for
undergraduate students. For formal pre-law or Introduction to
American Law courses, this book will provide students with a
comprehensive overview broken into concise, digestible chunks that
are ideal for further development in lecture or discussion
sections. Outside the classroom, Get a Running Start offers a
stimulating introduction to fundamental legal concepts that will
engage those who might be thinking about going to law school and
citizens who simply want to know more about the law as a central
feature of public life. Among the many features of this book
readers will find useful and attractive are: An introductory
chapter offering advice on how to structure a successful
preparation and study process starting with the summer before law
school and running straight through exams. Insiders' advice from
successful law students and recent graduates on class preparation,
course selection, career development, and managing the stress of
law school. Short lessons that provide readers with an introduction
to the major concepts for a day or week of law school classes in
10-15 minutes. Complete course coverage that will allow readers to
get a global overview of a first-year law course in the span of an
afternoon. Frequent use of examples and hypotheticals to illustrate
major points in an available way. Short "Takeaway" summaries at the
end of each lesson that highlight the main points and provide a
quick reference or refresher. "Bonus" lessons offering quick
primers on topics such as legal reasoning and statutory
interpretation.
