The accuracy of gay and lesbian adoption statistics is difficult to gauge. Myriad social and legal controversy surrounds gay and lesbian families, prompting many to refrain from identifying their home as a same-sex household. After recent years of fervent publicity on gay marriage, the small victories won in states' courts briefly allowing for gay marriage have created backlash legislation by the conservative right in power, who is now pushing for a constitutional amendment to explicitly forbid same-sex marriages. The ripples of social outcry created by the legalization of gay marriage in several other states are even being felt in Idaho, as the state legislature put civil unions on the chopping block in its last session. With the passage of a state marriage amendment appearing to many ...

Adoption Gap Remains Along Demographic Lines; Socio-Economic Status Does Not Explain the Entire Gap WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Department of Commerce's Economics and Statistics Administration (ESA) and National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) today released a report, "Exploring the Digital Nation," that analyzes broadband Internet adoption in the United States. Overall, approximately seven out of 10 households in the United States subscribe to broadband service. The report finds a strong correlation between broadband adoption and socio-economic factors, such as income and education, but says these differences do not explain the entire broadband adoption gap that exists along racial, ethnic and geographic lines. Even after accounting ...

• Commentary: Lawyers, at Last, Make Peace with Web 2.0

The American Bar Association released the 2010 Legal Technology Survey Report earlier this year, based on surveys of more than 5,000 ABA members in private practice. The report offers detailed statistics and trend analysis regarding lawyers' adoption of different types of technologies into their law practices. The survey's results are promising, and indicate that lawyers -- a group of professionals historically resistant to technological change -- are using a broad spectrum of emerging technologies in their practices, including social media, mobile computing, smart phones, cloud computing and e-book readers.

• Putting Moneyball On Ice?

This paper discusses the application of Moneyball management to the hockey industry. Following a review of Moneyball and sabermetrics in other sports, attempts to apply similar practices in hockey are reviewed. Moneyball in the National Hockey League is then examined, where adoption is limited by several factors: 1) the statistics available and their usefulness in evaluating player contributions to team performance; 2) the nature of the cooperation of players to produce outputs; and 3) the willingness of league insiders to embrace Moneyball. The statistical issue may be partially addressed by the introduction of new tracking technologies that can obtain new data, while teams may be more willing to explore Moneyball as teams who do so are successful. The development of new statistical me...

• Adoption Success a Reality

I recently wrote about how domestic infant adoption is "vanishing" in America. The April 12 story was based on federal data (kindly chased down for me by Jo Jones, a researcher at National Center for Health Statistics) that found that fewer than 7,000 newborns are placed for adoption each year. Compared with the truly stunning number of unwed pregnancies - almost 3 million in 2004 - adoption is clearly becoming an option that few women are choosing for their babies.
