Guided by social constructionist and symbolic interactionist perspectives and a grounded theory method, my conceptual analysis explores stepfathers' experiences with claiming stepchildren as their own. Using in-depth interviews with a diverse sample of 36 stepfathers, my analysis focuses on paternal claiming as a core category and generates 10 properties relevant to this social psychological phenomenon: timing, degree of deliberativeness, degree of identity conviction, paternal role range, solo-shared identity, mindfulness, propriety work, naming, seeking public recognition, and biological children as benchmarks. In addition, I consider how five conditions may influence stepfathers' perceptions of stepchildren. My analysis reveals a number of sensitizing concepts for studying stepfathers' efforts to develop a sense of group belonging and a fatherlike identity.

[...] Sirleaf, the Harvard-educated darling of the international development circuit, has demonstrated an astonishing ability to take charge. [...] the country has come so far since the Charles Taylor days of U.N. blood diamond sanctions that American law enforcement officials recently went out of their way to laud their Liberian counterparts for stopping a South African-Colombian drug ring.

Who's next' Some of these deaths were more or less expected. Since I'm the youngest by far of seven children, it's not surprising I would oudive my siblings, and my oldest sisters, Rosie and Carlotta, were both in their upper eighties when they passed on. On one journey, when I reached Tennessee to find my sister Joan much sicker than I'd known - she died three weeks later - I was still abuzz over a bird I'd seen two days earlier on a pelagic trip out of North Carolina: Swinhoe's Storm-petrel, the first North American record and a species not even on my wish list. When my brother died, I scrambled to catch a flight, attended wakes and a funeral, delivered a eulogy, went to an Irish pub with his son, caught an early morning flight back home, and then spent the rest of the day looking for target birds to raise funds for our Cape Ann Birdathon team. No doubt there's a reasonable explanation - climate change or range expansion - but in earlier times their unseasonable appearance would have been an ill omen, a warning that death was close.

A short story is presented.

Hodson's Horse gained its first battle honours during the Indian Mutiny for assisting the capture of Delhi, and later Lucknow. By 1867 the second regiment of Hodson's Horse, now named 10th Bengal Cavalry, was part of the Expeditionary Force, under Sir Robert Napier, sent to Abyssinia to punish King Theodore for the wrongful arrest of the British Consul and other British subjects. Ten years later, due to political tensions between Russia and Turkey, a force of troops that included both regiments of Hodson's Horse, now 9th and 10th Bengal Lancers, was sent to Malta.

According to Suetonius, Nero Claudius Drusus, the younger of Augustus' two stepsons, was said to have aspired to win spolia opima, that is, spoils taken from an enemy commander killed in battle. The aim of this paper is to consider what substance there may be in this claim and what light it may throw on Augustus’ relationship with the princes of the imperial family.
