PDF Editor FAQ

How long does it take to become a nuclear medicine physician? Do you need to specialize in radiology before beginning to train as a nuclear physician?

Q. How long does it take to become a nuclear medicine physician? Do you need to specialize in radiology before beginning to train as a nuclear physician?A. A word of caution about the job market for nuclear medicine physicians.Nuclear medicine residents see 'dismal' job marketBy Wayne Forrest, AuntMinnie.com staff writerMarch 27, 2014 -- The job market is not what one would call robust for would-be nuclear medicine residents, and their limitations in reading hybrid images is just one reason why, according to a new survey published in the March issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology.In the survey, nuclear medicine residents expressed concerns about their preparedness for employment and acknowledged their limitations in reading CT images. Fewer than half of the respondents thought they were ready to independently interpret CT for all pathology.That lack of expertise is one reason why radiologists have an advantage in the job market, but efforts are underway -- albeit slowly -- to expand training to broaden nuclear medicine residents' expertise.Employment outlook"Nuclear medicine physicians who are also radiologists have an easier time getting jobs than those who aren't," said lead author Dr. Jay Harolds from the division of radiology and biomedical imaging at Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine. "We have also found out that international graduates have a harder time finding jobs than those who are American graduates."Dr. Jay Harolds from Michigan State University.Harolds and colleagues emailed their survey to all 54 nuclear medicine program directors and asked them to distribute the questionnaire to their residents. In June and July of 2011, 61 (39%) of 155 nuclear medicine residents responded to the survey. Among the respondents, three (5%) had completed radiology residencies and 24 (41%) were in their final year of training. The majority of replies were from residents in three-year.As Harolds mentioned, the majority of nuclear medicine residents polled believe the job market is much better for diagnostic radiologists than nonradiologists, whether they were trained in the U.S. or abroad. Approximately 50% said the marketability of U.S. and international radiologists is "outstanding" or "very good," while more than 60% believe the marketability of nonradiologists is "poor" (JACR, March 2014, Vol. 11:3, pp. 221-224).If a job candidate can only read a nuclear medicine study, many radiology groups will be reluctant to hire that person, Harolds said. These practices are looking for individuals who can interpret a wide breadth of images to handle overnight and weekend call duties."Typically, they can't [take call on off-hours] unless they are also radiologists," Harolds told Radiology, News, Education, Service. "Weekend call and night call are big things, with 24/7 expectations now. People expect quick reports, and report turnaround time has hurt the job market as well."Hybrid image interpretation”Therefore, competency in reading hybrid images from PET/CT, SPECT/CT, and PET/MRI becomes more of a necessity for nuclear medicine physicians. "Clearly, [nuclear medicine physicians] need to know about these other modalities and become expert in them," Harolds added. "Those are big handicaps that these individuals have."The majority of nuclear medicine trainees felt competent to independently interpret CT for anatomic localization and for common local pathology, but fewer than half thought they were ready to independently interpret CT for all pathology, the survey found."According to our survey, senior residents in three-year programs claim to be only slightly better prepared in CT interpretation for all pathology than seniors in two-year programs," the authors wrote.Prospective nuclear medicine residents are also finding employment difficult because so much of nuclear medicine is nuclear cardiology, and those exams are typically whisked away and read by cardiologists.The authors cited two studies that estimated that nuclear medicine physicians in the U.S. interpret fewer than 25% of all nuclear medicine examinations, while cardiologists and radiologists read the rest. Given that nuclear cardiology represents more than 50% of the nuclear medicine examinations in the U.S., according to previous research, nuclear medicine physicians compete directly with cardiologists in that regard."That takes a lot of potential studies that [nuclear medicine physicians] could be reading away from them," said Harolds, who also serves as the radiology residency director for Grand Rapids Medical Education Partners, which oversees the residency program.Training optionsCurrently, there are three types of nuclear medicine residency available for applicants: three years after one year of graduate medical education, two years after two years of graduate medical education, and one year after completing an accredited diagnostic radiology program.Previous studies have found that the majority of nuclear medicine residents are nonradiologists enrolled in two-year or three-year training programs, while the one-year training program includes individuals already trained in diagnostic radiology.Baylor College of Medicine recently chose not to renew its nuclear medicine residency, due in part to employment prospects and recruiting issues.Dr. Milton Guiberteau from Baylor College."One of our motivations for not continuing the program was that it was perhaps not the best situation in which to train people that we feel could not get jobs without training in something else," said study co-author Dr. Milton Guiberteau, professor of radiology and nuclear medicine at Baylor. "It isn't in anyone's interest to recruit people to commit to programs knowing that they can do this training, but the job market for them remains quite dismal."To improve employment prospects and better train residents for a variety of image interpretations, there have been calls for more joint radiology and nuclear medicine training programs, but so far they have been slow to materialize.Guiberteau is president-elect of the American Board of Radiology (ABR), which has had talks in the past with the American Board of Nuclear Medicine (ABNM) and other stakeholders to develop training pathways that lead to board certification in both disciplines."From our point of view, we think that is the way to start, because if we say we will accept people for our examination who satisfy these requirements, that would give motivation to the [residency review committees (RRCs)] to develop training pathways," he added. "We are working on it, but we right now have no uniform solution."Some progress was made in 2010, when ABR and ABNM each developed four-year diagnostic radiology programs in which residents could be board-certified by both organizations. The four-year program includes 16 months of training in nuclear radiology or nuclear medicine.The program is in place, and this year ABR will examine its first resident to have completed the requirements. "But [the program] is still quite small and not nearly enough to produce sufficient well-trained nuclear radiologists or nuclear medicine folks to populate the vacancies that will ultimately happen when existing practitioners retire," Guiberteau said.With the survey results in hand, Harolds and colleagues plan to analyze the barriers to employment and the perceptions of would-be residents and physicians."We really don't intend to let it drop until we can see something done for people who want to train in nuclear medicine and be marketable in terms of obtaining employment and who will fit into a practice pattern for the best care of patients," Guiberteau said."We are more hopeful than we were a few years ago, but still it would be disingenuous for me to say that the problem is on the verge of being solved," he said.For the next part of our series on the nuclear medicine job market, Radiology, News, Education, Service spoke with various residents and educators about job prospects in the discipline.Cautious optimism as nuclear medicine residents reflect on jobsBy Wayne Forrest, AuntMinnie.com staff writerApril 3, 2014 -- When Dr. Erica Cohen began looking for employment after her nuclear medicine training, she saw then what many graduates are still seeing today. "It is scary out there," she confided. "I certainly felt the fear myself. Even though I have credentials next to my name, I was not really sure where I was going to end up."Cohen considered options in academic and private settings, as well as alternative career pathways such as consulting because of the difficult job market. In the end, her persistence paid off. Today, Cohen is chief resident in the department of nuclear medicine at Loyola University Medical Center.Although her efforts were successful, a survey published in the March issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology explained in numbers what many nuclear medicine residents like Cohen have felt firsthand. That is, job openings are few and far between, and nuclear medicine residents are concerned about their perceived or actual inability to accurately read radiology images.While many residents are still looking for work, others have been hired and are contributing to their imaging departments; however, it wasn't easy, according to the survey (JACR, March 2014, Vol. 11:3, pp. 221-224).The most-cited challenge to employment is the growing trend of employers requiring dual board certification in nuclear medicine and radiology, spurred by the need for night and weekend call coverage. During the day, large radiology groups may have several dozen radiologists working in a practice; such operations may also have a few highly specialized readers who, for example, exclusively handle breast, musculoskeletal, or neuroimaging.During off-peak hours, though, readers with more diverse training typically are on duty for an emergency chest x-ray, ultrasound, or perhaps a CT or MRI -- modalities that aren't part of standard nuclear medicine training. What's a resident to do?Off-hour dutiesCohen works from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and contributes when called upon at night or on weekends. At Loyola, nuclear medicine residents are responsible for any emergency cases that arrive overnight or on the weekend. There is also a radiology resident who is always in-house or on call on nights and weekends."But if there is anything like a gastrointestinal scan that comes in, it is the nuclear medicine resident who comes in to take care of it," she said.Still, Cohen said, there are certain places that prefer having staff trained exclusively in nuclear medicine. It seems to be most common in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs health system and in practices that maintain their own separate nuclear medicine department from the radiology department."The reason that some nuclear medicine groups prefer to hire pure nuclear medicine graduates is because they believe we produce better-quality interpretations, we are more comfortable with the modality in doing therapies, and we are more experienced than, say, a radiology graduate who has four months of nuclear medicine training compared to our three years," she said.Cohen also believes there may have been some "polarity" in the findings of the JACR employment survey."I find it interesting that there are comments about nuclear medicine graduates either feeling inadequate in cross-sectional imaging or being perceived as inadequate," she said. "But there has not been as much attention paid to radiologists and their proficiencies in nuclear medicine."More applicants, fewer jobsEven so, the numbers are not in nuclear medicine's favor."We have been graduating many more residents than there are available positions," said Dr. Daniel Lee, director of the PET scholarship program at Emory University. "That has led to a lot of handwringing on the part of trainees, which is certainly understandable."Lee also serves as chair of the Nuclear Medicine Program Directors Association and as associate program director for the nuclear medicine residency and fellowship programs at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI).He concurred that nuclear medicine residents without additional radiology training are at a disadvantage in the job market."What is interesting now is that given all the downward pressures on imaging in terms of coverage and reimbursement, some valid criticisms about possible overuse of imaging, the costs associated with imaging, and the radiation burden of unnecessary imaging, the job market has tightened up for radiology people as well," he said. "So that has made things even more complicated and challenging for people training in nuclear medicine who don't also have the radiology training. It has become just that much more difficult to find employment."Diverse trainingDr. Tatianie Jackson, a third-year resident at Stanford University, took a rather circuitous route to her current position. She followed her undergraduate studies at Clark Atlanta University with five years of medical school at Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara in Mexico.She then participated in the Fifth Pathway program at New York Medical College for a one-year externship, which covered internal medicine, general surgery, and pediatrics. The Fifth Pathway is required for some students who attended medical school abroad to become eligible to work in the U.S.Jackson also completed her Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) requirements for certification in 2010, after which she went to Boston Medical Center, where she collaborated on molecular imaging research and developed an interest in nuclear medicine.Next up was a surgical residency at Nassau University Medical Center, and Jackson then took up residency at Stanford at the end of 2012.She said she's seen the benefit of nuclear medicine residents enrolling in a radiology program to obtain dual certification."Places are looking for people who can read diagnostic radiology images, so they can pick up the extra slack on call hours," Jackson added. "If you don't do that, they can phase you out."A little help with a phone call or a recommendation from a friend or colleague can't hurt either when a job becomes available."Every edge helps when an applicant competes against several hundred nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, and fellows who are out of residency for a couple of years and are still unemployed," Jackson said.Also, there are employed physicians who are delaying retirement for financial reasons. "It is making it extremely difficult for residents like myself who are recently boarded in nuclear medicine and trying to get a secure position," she said.Jackson is currently involved in several research projects with her attending physician and recently won a poster award for her own research. She is leaning toward pediatric nuclear medicine, which she thinks is underserved."There are only about 20 [pediatric nuclear medicine] programs, which includes Canada, and only about 20 to 22 physicians," she said. "I think that is a market where I can sell myself and be comfortable in reading pediatric imaging."Networking benefitsWhile skills obviously are critical, Loyola's Cohen advised residents to network, attend meetings, and get involved in committees to help spread their name."Having a good, friendly personality goes a long way, and definitely maintain good relationships with the attending physicians that you work with during your residency program," she said.Cohen has done well for herself in a relatively short period of time. Early in her residency, she became involved with SNMMI (prior to its name change in 2012), and she joined the American College of Nuclear Medicine (ACNM) when she was still in an internship. She also joined the Nuclear Medicine Residents Organization, moving up through the ranks to eventually become its current president.Cohen also participates on several boards of SNMMI and ACNM, serves as a delegate to the American Medical Association, and serves as a resident representative on the nuclear medicine residency review committee for the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education."You need to be an extremely well-rounded resident, meaning you have to do research, you must have publications, and you have to be involved in leadership," Cohen said. "You have to make yourself exceptional because the number of job opportunities available is so slim."Cautious optimismDespite the current employment challenges, Emory's Lee said he remains "cautiously optimistic" that the environment will improve, in part because older practitioners who have been deferring retirement eventually will leave their positions."I think and I hope the Affordable Care Act may result in more people accessing care," Lee said. "We are on the leading edge of baby boomers who are retiring, and I think there will be a significant number of people who will need more care and more imaging and therapies."At least for now, the job market is what it is."The reality is that unless you are dual-boarded, it is very difficult to find a job, but the pendulum is always swinging," Cohen said. "Since radiology is trending toward specialization, board exams are becoming more specialized. As this continues, there may yet emerge opportunities for people who are more heavily and specifically trained in nuclear medicine."

The Production of Houses. Oxford University Press. 1985.As an innovative thinker about building and planning, Christopher Alexander has attracted a devotedfollowing. His seminal books--The Timeless Way of Building, A Pattern Language, the Oregon Experiment,and The Linz Cafe--defined a radical and fundamentally new process of environmental design. Alexandernow gives us the latest book in his series--a book that puts his theories to the test and shows what sort ofproduction system can create the kind of environment he has envisioned.The Production of Houses centers around a group of buildings which Alexander and his associates built in1976 in northern Mexico. Each house is different and the book explains how each family helped to lay outand construct its own home according to the family's own needs and in the framework of the patternlanguage. Numerous diagrams and tables as well as a variety of anecdotes make the day-today processclear. The Mexican project, however, is only the starting point for a comprehensive theory of housingproduction. The Production of Houses describes seven principles which apply to any system of production inany part of the world for housing of any cost in any climate or culture or at any density. In the last part of thebook, "The Shift of Paradigm," Alexander describes, in detail, the devastating nature of the revolution inworld view which is contained in his proposal for housing construction, and its overall implications for deepseatedculturalchange.

Springer: 1Edition. 1995.stComplex social systems like the human body rely a great deal on the sharing of parts. Just as the mouth isshared by the sub-systems for breathing, eating, speaking, etc., so individuals and organizations act as partsfor a multiplicity of social systems. Just as there are physiological switching mechanisms to prevent uschoking too often over our food, so there are social mechanisms to prevent us having too many CharlieChaplins dashing out of factories to tighten up buttons on women’s dresses (in Modern Times). I think that itis this sharing of parts that enables social processes to grow for quite long periods without detection. If theycould grow only by subordinating parts entirely to themselves then they would be readily detectable. If,however, their parts continue to play traditional roles in the existing familiar systems, then detection becomesdifficult indeed. The examples that most readily come to mind are the pathological ones of cancer andincipient psychoses. Perhaps this is because we strive so hard to detect them. In any case, healthychanges in physical maturation, personality growth or social growth typically follows the same course. Oncewe are confronted with a new fully-fledged system, we find that we can usually trace its roots well back into apast where it was unrecognized for what it was.Source location for this excerpt: Page on members.shaw.caFeldman, Roberta.

Crabgrass Frontier: The Suburbanization of the United States. Oxford UniversityPress. 1987.Book Description: This first full-scale history of the development of the American suburb examines how "thegood life" in America came to be equated with the a home of one's own surrounded by a grassy yard andlocated far from the urban workplace. Integrating social history with economic and architecturalanalysis, and taking into account such factors as the availability of cheap land, inexpensive building methods,and rapid transportation, Kenneth Jackson chronicles the phenomenal growth of the American suburb fromthe middle of the 19th century to the present day. He treats communities in every section of the U.S. andcompares American residential patterns with those of Japan and Europe. In conclusion, Jackson offers acontroversial prediction: that the future of residential deconcentration will be very different from its past inboth the U.S. and Europe.Source location:Amazon.com: Crabgrass Frontier: The Suburbanization of the United States (9780195049831): Kenneth T.

If the answer is yes, you maywant to consider exploring cohousing, a concept that originated in Denmark in the early 1970s and hasspread throughout Europe. In Cohousing, a number of European cohousing communities are profiled.Although each community is a unique reflection of its members' tastes and desires, there are some commoncomponents, such as parking lots on the perimeters of the community for pedestrian safety, a commonhouse where meals can be shared, and recreational facilities housing various community activities andservices. With all the responsibilities entailed in managing a home and/or a family, cohousing is a solution forfinding sufficient time to relax and spend with the people who are important to us.

He notes that the languageused is comprehensible across subject specialties and internationally. A welcome addition to the housingliterature, which has lacked a general encyclopedia, this is sure to be the standard reference forprofessionals in housing and related fields as well as policymakers, students, and the educated public.

Sep 1988.Affordable housing becomes a receding goal when the percentage of U.S. households paying over a quarterof their income for rent is increasing. John Gilderbloom and Richard Appelbaum show that sociologists couldmake a major contribution to debate about a housing policy designed to reverse such trends - if such adebate existed. Combining a critical review of a diverse literature with original analyses, the authors developtwo lines of argument. First, institutions and organizations affect characteristics of rental housing thateconomists attribute to market forces. Second, affordable, habitable housing is a "universal nationalentitlement," and it requires a federal housing program that creates a non-market sector.

The Affordable Housing Shortage: Considering the Problem, Causes and Solutions. FederalReserve Bank of Minneapolis. Aug 2002.Abstract: Many observers claim that we are in the midst of an "affordable housing shortage" or, even worse,an "affordable housing crisis." The primary concern is that too many households live in "unaffordable" rentalunits. We hope to clarify the current debate by first measuring the size of the problem, then diagnosing itsunderlying causes and, finally, discussing treatments that policymakers should consider. While our review ishardly exhaustive, we conclude that a shortage of income is largely behind the housing affordability problemdespite the current focus on housing. Policymakers should recognize that government financing of newhousing units is unlikely to be a cost-effective response to low household income.Hu, Yucum and Qiping Shen. Systems Thinking in the Study of Housing Development in Hong Kong NewTowns. The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Department of Building and Real Estate. 2000."In this paper, we have applied system dynamics to analyze housing development in Hong Kong new towns.Because housing development is concerned with many factors such as population growth, employment,personal income, gross domestic product and government policies, it is a complex social-economic systemthat demands system thinking for its solution. We have constructed a system dynamics model that attemptsto describe housing development in new towns. In this model, the interactions of various factors in urbanhousing development are taken into consideration. The model has been implemented in a computersimulation package named "I think". The simulation provides a trend of future housing development in HongKong new towns. These results can assist decision makers produce more appropriate plans for futurehousing development. We found that the application of system dynamics into housing development is a newand fruitful attempt."Katz, Bruce and Margery Turner, Karen Brown, Mary Cunningham and Noah Sawyer. Rethinking localaffordable housing strategies: lessons from 70 years of policy and practice. The BrookingsInstitution Center in Urban and Metropolitan Policy and The Urban Institute. Dec 2003.Efforts to provide affordable housing are occurring at a time of great change. The responsibilities forimplementing affordable housing are increasingly shifting to state and local actors. The market anddemographic changes in the country are complicating the picture, as sprawling jobs-housing patterns anddowntown revivals in some places are creating demand for affordable housing for working families andimmigrants in both cities and suburbs. To help state and local leaders design fresh solutions to today’saffordable housing challenges, The Brookings Institution Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy and theUrban Institute joined forces to examine the lessons of seven decades of major policy approaches and whatthese lessons mean for local reforms. This executive summary of the full report, funded by the John S. andJames L. Knight Foundation, finds that past and current efforts to expand rental housing assistance, promotehomeownership, and increase affordable housing through land use regulations have been uneven in theireffectiveness in promoting stable families and healthy communities. The findings suggest guiding principlesfor local action, with important cautions to avoid pitfalls.Pascale, Connie. The Critical Shortage of Affordable Housing in New Jersey: A Brief Overview. The LegalServices of New Jersey Poverty Research Institute. Jun 2003.For at least three decades, study after study has documented New Jersey’s severe affordable housingshortage. This report from Legal Services of New Jersey’s Poverty Research Institute compiles such studiesand data to present a current portrait of just how bad the housing shortfall has become. It is intended as aresource for policy makers and the public, to help energize and guide the urgent question of what should beNew Jersey’s governmental response to this crisis.The report was prepared primarily by Connie Pascale, Vice President and Assistant General Counsel atLegal Services of New Jersey, with assistance from colleagues Kristin Mateo and Anjali Srivastava.

"Green Credentials: Housing in Brighton." RIBA Journal.Bone, Eugena. "The House That Max Built." Metropolis. v16, n5, p 37-42, Dec 1996.The Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems (Max’s Pot) built the Advanced Green Builderdemonstration house on the outskirts of Austin with only local materials. It is the place where founderPliny Fisk III and his wife "concoct environmentally sound and sustainable building technologies." BothCalcrete and Solar-Tube were conceived there. The house uses Green Forms, an "open-ended" post andbeam system as structure. The central concept is that the Green Forms provide the frame for site-specific(and therefore more sustainable) elements and finishes. This approach also leaves plenty of potential forpersonalization. Local climates are studied as well as attainable materials for cladding, insulation, andother surfaces from the area. Options may include rammed earth, adobe, straw wall, industrial by-products,and Styrofoam. The project also helps to sustain local businesses, distributors, and craftsmen byutilizing their services within their communities.The article also mentions innovative composite materials that can be used in cladding, including mixingleftover wood fiber with plastic from recycled bottles to make hardy wood-like panels. Water sustainability isaddressed with composting toilets and wetland integration.For further energy consumption reduction photovoltaic panels can be added to roofs, radiant heat can bedistributed from floor slabs, and a gas-fired water heater can double as the heat source for the floor slabs.While the house (at time of article publishing) costs about $250,000, the goal is to build for $10 to $12 persquare foot.

Jul/Aug 2004.Couling and Overmeyer have produced a model for areas outlying urban centers to becomeneighborhoods surrounding farming-land green spaces, rather than arbitrary parks and green spaces,commonly ordained by local zoning codes. The theory proposes that the residents maintain and work the"farm-land" and it gives back to them, monetarily, as well as enriching a closer-knit community than atypical suburb. The article includes a model for investment and return based in its proposed operations in anarea outlying Hamburg- the location of cet-0’s Fischbek-Mississippi project. The underlying concept is a"symbiosis of land for farming and land for building…Green areas are a combination of agricultural fields anddomesticated plots, leased to an ecofarmer, or to the Mississippi Club, of which the new residents wouldideally be members"(Couling p. 69).

Koebel also articulates various circuits withinthe development and construction industries through which sustainable practices must spread if they areto effectively diffuse within our culture. Included issues are mass production, adaptability, change agents,codes, and policies (and their makers).

"Shades of Green: Dwell Home II."Dwell. v5, n6, p 114, 116. June 2005.Dwell Home II was constructed in Topanga Canyon, California as a test home for green design. It’sconstruction in such an isolated area prompted many questions about the true sustainability of remotenessin this modern world, since a car must be used for traveling into town for commodities. Andrew Wagnerfacilitated a discussion/ interview with the homeowner Glen Martin and architect Frank Escher, prompted byquestions written to Dwell magazine regarding the project.In the project’s defense, the convenience and viability of bus lines and telecommuting are available for usein the remote setting.

"BEPAS- a life cycle building environmentalperformance assessment model." Building and Environment. v41. p 669-675. 2006.In this journal article, BEPAS (building environmental performance analysis system) is explained and testedin a case study. It has been proposed that the system’s methodologies can be utilized on both new andexisting buildings, evaluating their facilities (operation phase consumption and pollution), location,and materials. This article seems to have been inspired by the "rapid process of industrialization andurbanization" currently underway in China. It is also in response to the relative subjectiveness ofsustainability evaluation checklist-type methods such as LEED. The BEPAS researchers responded tothese issues by creating a more objective analytical approach to evaluating building performance,building upon the in-depth model of LCA (life cycle analysis). Results of the article’s case study show the testbuilding’s environmental impact was 96.6% from the facility operation, and only 5.6% from the buildingmaterials.BEPAS attempts to include more variables than other existing analysis models of a similar genre.(DM)Affordable Housing and Community Design: Gulf Coast RegionARTICLESAllais, Lucia. "Building Dwelling, Not Thinking" Thresholds. v20. p 50-55. 2000.Allais theorizes that housing typologies can have underlying social implications that must be recognized,especially when addressing affordable housing for poor predominantly African American populations incertain areas of the country. She specifically addresses the symbolism embodied in the shotgun-stylehousing that is commonly constructed as affordable infill housing.The discussion of the possible sociological ramifications of typology arose through a competition for DelrayBeach Florida’s Redevelopment Agency to design "affordable infill housing" in the predominantly blackMount Olive community.Allais sites the works of Marylis Nepomechie and Heidegger as current and historical thinkers on the samesubject; the architects’ argument about the pride of ownership.The theories, as presented in this article, are very subjective, and tend to make difficult assumptions thatsometimes waiver on the verge of being credible. However, the concepts put forth are extremely provoking,and are frequently neglected in design of affordable housing. The relationship between form and meaningcan have great impact, and the architect needs to be held responsible for intervening in the best interest ofmediating this phenomenon, downplaying the tones of social segregation in affordable housing.

Theintroduction mentions that the Congress for the New Urbanism (led by Andres Duany) had an extensivedesign charette to provide design guidance for Mississippi’s devastated regions, and it has now "seduced"Louisiana’s government as well. Artforum suggests that a fresh, inventive dialogue needs to commence.These proposals do not situate themselves in the realistic realm of feasibility any time in the near future, butthey are refreshing and drastically different takes on how a new city might reshape itself after a disaster ofsuch enormous destruction.The six teams were proposed by Artforum for proposals to be published, two each (one Dutch and oneAmerican team) for three segments: community (MVRDV, Huff + Gooden), urban icon (UN Studio,Morphosis), and landscape (West 8, Hargreaves Associates). The proposals did not address affordablehousing within their broad assigned categories.Recurring themes within the variety of proposals were: public space, connections (both communicationand physical), pride and dignity, high density revitalized areas, reinvigoration and symbolism.

The project was forstudents to design an affordable house after surveying the conditions, lifestyles and policies of itsneighborhood and jurisdiction. The project set a precedent of trust between the University and theneighborhood that could potentially lead to similar future collaborations benefiting both parties, the academyand the struggling neighborhood.The underlying concept driving the development of the project is Shepard’s assertion that "If vacant lots andabandoned buildings could be developed for low-and moderate- income families, the proportion ofstakeholders could increase and the community pride of ownership could return" (Shepard p. 44).The studio culminated in the actual approval and eventual building of a two-story shotgun housedesigned by students who saw it take shape before graduating from architecture school. A local developerhad become an enthusiast of the studio and funded the projectShepard’s concept and its follow-through becomes an exemplar for students, teachers and developerswondering how they can do more in their "own back yard."

However, it is an example of the availability of systems, materials and labor available inFlorida to conduct sustainable construction. The house includes 9-foot tall ceilings and a floorplan thatsupports good ventilation through airflow. Since termites are often a problem in Florida, no wood was usedin construction. The house is clad, instead with wood fiber cement plank siding over steel frame. Flooringfinishes include bamboo (impregnated with borates) and ceramic tile. Energy Star criteria were met forappliances throughout the house, reducing greenhouse emissions. In terms of water conservation, low flowfixtures and toilets were installed. Water is heated with solar heat, and the house has an integratedinsulation system. The house, at 2,000 square feet, is "affordable to operate, and runs on $60 per month,for everything."

Shouldn’t the mother of your child try and build you up to be the best father and potential husband possible?

“**Shouldn’t the mother of your child try and build you up to be the best father and potential husband possible?**”Hi Tone,The short answer is yes, with the added caveat that it is reciprocated.The tone of your question leads me to believe that you and your child’s mother are having relational difficulties. With that in mind, then, the “should” is taken as a request to be right in some ongoing conflict the two of you have.There are several points on which your desire to be built up (and what you may be perceiving as her resistance to this desire) rests. This is from a paper I wrote earlier this year on Intimate partner relationship and sex in terms of attachment style.**Caretaking**Within the primacy of the partner relationship, there exists a caretaking property that must be fulfilled in order for most other qualitative states to be satisfactory or better, and that is the notion that each partner cares for and tends to the needs of the other. They know one another, they are interested in one another, and they seek to build one another up by genuinely liking one another—not because of how the other makes them feel about them self, but out of true affection, respect, and regard for the other. (I have an entire workshop on this.)When this fundamental of the successful couple union breaks down, empathy and compassion tend to leave the building and this is when resentments, hostilities, and conflict arise. This is especially true after babies are born.**Adult Attachment Style**Caretaking can be somewhat crippled by insecure Attachment styles learned in infancy and early childhood. When one or both partners has an insecure attachment style, the research shows that relationship tends to suffer (Mikulincer and Shaver, 2007). Couples in which one or both partners experience an insecure attachment style have a positive correlation of negative relational behaviors (Dainton & Gross, 2008; Goodboy et al., 2010). Distressed relationships are marked by lower relationship satisfaction, commitment, and intimacy (e.g., Davila and Bradbury, 2001; Keelan et al., 1994; Treboux, Crowell, & Waters, 2004), as well as more conflict and less stable relationships marked by shorter duration and higher breakup rates (Hazan and Shaver, 1987; Kirkpatrick and Davis, 1994; Treboux et al., 2004).The main qualities of partner satisfaction are partner responsiveness and emotional engagement—without them, research shows outcomes of low relationship quality and higher rates of divorce (Gottman, 1994; Huston, Caughlin, Houts, Smith, and George, 2001; Johnson, 2004).Dysfunctional caregiving within a couple tends to activate insecure attachment coping strategies. When a partner makes a bid for proximity in the partner relationship (or in your case, wants to be built up and reassured) and the other partner fails to respond in a way that is reassuring, it produces a host of worries, negative attitudes, and destructive behaviors in the partner seeking reassurance. They increase the needier partner’s relationship-specific attachment insecurities, which can then set off avoidant behavior from the other. Once this interaction comes into play, the partner who is more anxious or needy may behave more ambivalently toward the partner they were seeking reassurance from and this looks like distancing, because s/he wasn’t going to get their needs met anyway and this coping strategy allows them some sense of autonomy and control, though simply reinforcing the insecure attachment.**The correlate of relational and sexual satisfaction**A tripartite model of behavioral systems: the attachment system, the caregiving system, and the sexual system positively or negatively impacts both relational and sexual satisfaction within the dyad couple framework (Shaver, Hazan, & Bradshaw, 1988; Mikulincer and Shaver, 2007). Secure attachment and caregiving systems generally show stronger correlation to sexual and relational satisfaction (Holmes & Johnson, 2009; Peloquin, Brassard, LaFontaine, & Shaver, 2014). The more insecure one or both partners’ attachment quality is, the more compromised one or both partners feel within their Adult Romantic Attachment. People who want to experience more positive relational and sexual satisfaction can improve various components of their relational style, the most fundamental factor of those being moving from an insecure attachment style to a more secure attachment style, called earned secure attachment. The couple dyad is negatively affected as a unit when one or both actors is acting out or on the receiving end of these insecure behaviors, and relational satisfaction is diminished. Additionally, research has shown that when negative relational behaviors are employed within relationship, sexual satisfaction is diminished. Sexual behavior, sexual identity, and sexual satisfaction are related to attachment style (Fricker & Moore, 2002; Morrison, Goodlin-Jones, & Urquiza, 1997). Relational and sexual satisfaction have co- variants with gender. Women tend to derive more sexual satisfaction with relational satisfaction and men tend to derive more relational satisfaction with sexual satisfaction. Anxious and Avoidant attachment styles are associated with distinct relational and sexual dissatisfaction as they have different coping strategies for dealing with and regulating distress; both interfere with adaptive relational functioning (Dewitte, 2012).There is a positive correlation between secure attachment and relational satisfaction, as well as secure attachment and sexual satisfaction.**References & Citations**Anderson, M., Kunkel, A., & Dennis, M.
