Is it time to take a break from feminism? In this pathbreaking book, Janet Halley reassesses the place of feminism in the law and politics of sexuality. She argues that sexuality involves deeply contested and clashing realities and interests, and that feminism helps us understand only some of them. To see crucial dimensions of sexuality that feminism does not reveal--the interests of gays and lesbians to be sure, but also those of men, and of constituencies and values beyond the realm of sex and gender--we might need to take a break from feminism. Halley also invites feminism to abandon its uncritical relationship to its own power. Feminists are, in many areas of social and political life, partners in governance. To govern responsibly, even on behalf of women, Halley urges, feminists should try taking a break from their own presuppositions. Halley offers a genealogy of various feminisms and of gay, queer, and trans theories as they split from each other in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s. All these incommensurate theories, she argues, enrich thinking on the left not despite their break from each other but because of it. She concludes by examining legal cases to show how taking a break from feminism can change your very perceptions of what's at stake in a decision and liberate you to decide it anew.

\"This grant to Urban Health Plan to support its expansion is the perfect example of a well-conceived and well-executed economic stimulus. In the short-term, this funding will create jobs in a community struggling with high unemployment. Over the long-term, this project will strengthen the health care infrastructure of our borough and contribute to the overall wellness of Bronx residents,\" said Congressman Jose E. Serrano, who represents the congressional district that UHP serves. Urban Health Plan (UHP) is a network of federally qualified community health centers based in the South Bronx and Queens. Its mission is to improve the health status of underserved communities. In 2008, UHP served 31,000 patients through 171,000 patient visits at four clinic sites, five school-based clinics, and four off-sites. It has served the Hunts Point, Mott Haven and other surrounding communities of the Bronx since 1974. In 2006 UHP received the National Exemplary Award from the United States Environmental Protection Agency for its efforts to reduce asthma rates in Hunts Point. It has been named one of the top twenty-five Hispanic not-for-profits in the country by Hispanic Business Magazine for the past three years. In the summer of 2009 UHP was named one of the top twenty community health centers in the country; received the Davies Award for Excellence from the Health Information Management Systems Society for its excellence in the use of electronic health records and; was awarded Level 3 recognition as a Physician Practice Connections - Patient-Centered Medical Home (PPC-PCMH) from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). Level 3 recognition is the highest awarded by the NCQA.

The Davies Awards recognize health care organizations that implement health information technology, specifically electronic health records (EHR). Urban Health Plan received the Community Health Davies Award,which recognizes community health organizations that implemented EHR systems to serve underserved and vulnerable populations. UHP uses an integrated health care and practice management system to manage care for 31,000 patients at UHP's sites in the Bronx and Queens. With an integrated practice management and EHR system, UHP's appointment scheduling and tracking has become more efficient. Providers are able to schedule appointments for their patients within the confines of their examination rooms. This allows for individual tailoring of appointments in terms of times and dates, which in turn leads to improved attendance or \"show\" rates to appointments. \"No-show\" reports are generated daily to improve care management, which helps in contacting \"no-shows\" to make new appointments, accommodating walk-in patients, and improving UHP's ability to construct provider schedules. Patient access has been enhanced because patients can receive care at any one of UHP's network of service sites since they are all connected to a single patient database. This assures that a patient's information will be available to all sites immediately. The EHR system also has a systematic method of documenting communications with patients, assuring improved care coordination. One of UHP's unique features is the successful use of telephone case managers, whose sole function is to coordinate care by assuring that patients receive the necessary services. The use of UHP's EHR system greatly enhances the case managers' capability to perform their jobs. They can query the system by varying data elements that produce lists of patients meeting given criteria for proper follow up. They are then able to document the telephone conversation in the EHR and assign a note to the provider.

The stimulus package funding will be used to create primary and specialty care for 4,000 residents of Corona, Jackson Heights, Lefrak City and Elmhurst in Queens at UHP's new health center Plaza del Sol. At capacity, in year two, the center will care for 8,000 community residents. Plaza del Solis expected to outgrow its 15,000 square foot space within one year. Urban Health Plan (UHP) is a federally qualified community health center based in the South Bronx that has expanded to Corona in Queens County. Its mission is to improve the health status of underserved communities. In 2008, UHP served 31,000 patients through 171,000 patient visits. It has served the Hunts Point, Mott Haven and other surrounding communities of the Bronx since 1974.

[Bob Runciman] is a former Solicitor General for the Province of Ontario and Chair of the Standing Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs. He announced the initiative at a news conference at Ottawa City Hall, hosted by Councillor Diane Deans, Chair of the Ottawa Transit Commission, and attended by Robin West, ATU Acting National Director, and Suzanne Burgess, an OC Transpo driver who was assaulted last February, as well as Hanif Patni, President and CEO of Coventry Connections, the largest taxi operation in eastern Ontario. In his comments Robin West said: \"The ATU believes the most important piece missing in reducing these vicious assaults is a public deterrent. A recent decision by a Judge here in Ottawa is a perfect example of why this change is needed. In his decision in Her Majesty the Queen v. Patrick Guitard the Judge wrote and I quote: \"I do not believe the law supports the notion that bus driver assaults per se attract higher sentences than other assaults.\" He goes on to write: \"I will not, however, consider the assault to be aggravated simply because the victim was a bus driver.\"

[Andre \"Dre\" Knight] said he searched for his mother for\"decades, but within an hour, his girlfriend, Andrea Bennett, found her on the Internet. They had been debating Knight's heritage. She tried the names on Knight's birth certificate -- his mother was listed as Robin Mullen a.k.a. Robin Booe. Neither name drew a match, but they did find a site for RW Productions and its CEO, Robin West. \"I wanted her to take that hurt and that pain, that burden she's carried for the past 35 years, and put that away,\" Knight said. \"She's not going to need that anymore. It's time to write the next chapter, there's a lot of life left.\" \"As long as we've got time left on this side of the earth, there's always time to make things right,\" Knight said. \"That's where I'm at right now, I'm really at peace.\"

  [Robin L. West], who has written two popular memory books, \"Memory Fitness Over 40\" and the \"Everyday Memory Clinic Workbook,\" says that a person's job or education status also can impact his or her brain agility. Some careers -- and especially being enrolled in school -- call for increased levels of brain engagement. \"Certainly, in school, you're challenging your mind on a regular basis,\" West says. \"If your job doesn't require you to use your brain very much, then you would want to start at any point in your life where you find that you're not challenging your mind on a regular basis.\" \"What am I going to do to remember this?\" she asks herself. \"It's better to have a plan for how to remember something. Say it over and over a bunch of times. Anything you can to help log it.\"

She is survived by her father, L.M. West Jr.
