Huge in Finland
As two authors who have worked in publishing, Friedman and Yorio thought they knew everything there was to know about the business of books. But the folly known as foreign rights sales for their second book, The Girl's Guide to Being a Boss Without Being a Bitch, has proven them wrong. The experiences they've had with 11 international publishers have given them hilarious and thrilling education.

Working for a Woman Can Be a Bitch
It's normal for you to create a sense of intimacy and positive rapport with your female subordinates. After all, you're working closely for long hours in a highly stressful environment. But don't mistake this relationship for friendship. Yes, it is great that you both loved Brokeback Mountain, are disappointed in James Frey and are counting down the days until summer Fridays begin again. This doesn't mean that you are friends.

Pentagon should put money where its mouth is
If the QDR took its own analysis of threats seriously, it would reduce the Navy and Air Force's budgets to fund the Army and Marines. Ground forces fight insurgencies and stabilize broken states like Bosnia and Haiti. If the United States ever occupied Iran, North Korea or Pakistan, these would be the forces needed to keep order. The QDR does bless the Army's decision to increase the number of its combat brigades from 33 to 42, but this is sleight of hand. The new brigades take soldiers from the old ones, meaning the same forces are simply spread into more units. The QDR preserves a military built to fight China or Russia, not the wars we are fighting. News reports indicate that if Pentagon civilians had their druthers, the QDR would have been more ambitious. It appears that the services joined forces and, with congressional help, preserved their budget slices and favorite weapons. The QDR is less a failure of intent than a failure of power.

Harm reduction and emergency medical services: Opportunities for evidence-based programming
Overdose fatalities are increasingly attributed to synthetic opioids, including fentanyl, which may be added to samples of illicit substances unknowingly to the user. As recently as April 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has also raised awareness of the risks of xylazine, an animal tranquilizer that has been found in adulterated samples of illicit substance. A growing body of evidence supports the use of drug testing services, including fentanyl and xylazine test strips, to reduce the risks associated with substance use and prevent fatal overdoses. Emergency medical services clinicians serve on the frontline of the opioid epidemic and are uniquely positioned to distribute harm reduction materials. In this article, we advocate for emergency medical services to distribute fentanyl and xylazine test strips. We also critically evaluate legal and other barriers to implementation.

Restraint, Restrictive Intervention, and Seclusion of People With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Restraint, restrictive interventions, and seclusion are hotly contested practices with inconclusive evidence of their effectiveness. Because the use of restraint and seclusion on people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) is controversial and its effectiveness doubtable, this study was conducted to explore if and how they were permitted in Medicaid HCBS 1915(c) waivers, the largest providers of long-term services and supports (LTSS) for people with IDD. To do so, 111 fiscal year 2015 IDD waivers from across the nation were examined to determine if and how states permitted restraint, restrictive interventions, and seclusion. Findings revealed an overwhelming majority of waivers permitted the use of restraint (78.4%) and restrictive interventions (75.7%). A smaller proportion (24.3%) allowed the use of seclusion.
