Behind the gates of a palm three-lined fantasyland, four residents of America’s largest retirement community, The Villages, FL, strive to find solace and meaning.

BYRON J. BROWN is the 26-year-old owner of Virgin 69 in Berkeley. The store specializes in local fashion, art and music. Byron has also been promoting parties in the local hip-hop scene for the past four years. Brown: Virgin 69 is basically a boutique and art gallery focused on artists and clothing designers here in the Bay Area. I carry all types of clothing, accessories and DJ mix tapes. I also do promotion, throw events with local DJs, local acts, and performance artists in the Bay Area. I've had my business for four years, but I started designing clothes before that. Brown: Both of my parents have their own businesses and that is what I was raised around. They taught me a lot. Being two black people in the United States with their own businesses and degrees from the University of Michigan, I guess they taught me to be independent. They also taught me that it was important to be ambitious, resourceful and industrious about things in order to get what you want. I'm also the only child, so I had a lot of time to create and do odd things.

The idealized vision of home that I see on TV is a permanent place of security and acceptance. But I have never encountered a place like this. Instead, I find a sense of home through my favorite clothes.

Analyses relying on two international surveys from over 100,000 men and women across 29 countries explore the relationship between maternal employment and adult daughters’ and sons’ employment and domestic outcomes. In the employment sphere, adult daughters, but not sons, of employed mothers are more likely to be employed and, if employed, are more likely to hold supervisory responsibility, work more hours and earn higher incomes than their peers whose mothers were not employed. In the domestic sphere, sons raised by employed mothers spend more time caring for family members and daughters spend less time on housework. Analyses provide evidence for two mechanisms: gender attitudes and social learning. Finally, findings show contextual influences at the family and societal levels: family-of-origin social class moderates effects of maternal employment and childhood exposure to female employment within society can substitute for the influence of maternal employment on daughters and reinforce its influence on sons.

Within a negotiation, when an act by one party is out-of-keeping with the previous moves and underlying logic of the interaction, the act and those that follow hold the potential for creating a transition to a new logic of interaction. In this paper, we investigate the presence and role of seven distinct types of transitions resulting from out-of-keeping acts across ten complex legal negotiations. The data reveal that a critical feature differentiating across the types is the abruptness/gradualness of the transition. We explore the combination of relational, informational, and procedural acts comprising the transitions and find that all three components are present across transitions, but in different proportions and orders. Understanding the role of out-of-keeping acts in negotiations facilitates a more complete picture of the microprocesses involved in the creation of critical moments in negotiations.
