SANGHACK LEE (*) A rent-seeking contest is a situation in which players compete with one another by expending outlays to win a rent. Examples abound. When a positive monopoly rent is secured under government protection, firms lobby to win the monopoly. When governmental decisions to establish tariffs or other trade barriers create rents, firms compete to capture these rents. Firms compete to acquire a rent generated by rights of ownership to an import quota. Firms compete to obtain a rent generated by a government procurement contract. Beginning with the seminal work of Tullock (1967), the early literature on rent seeking has concentrated on individual rent seeking–that is, contests in which players compete individually to win the rent. This includes, for example, Krueger (1974), Posner (1975), Tullock (1980), Hillman and Katz (1984), Appelbaum and Katz (1987), Hillman and Riley (1989), Hirshleifer (1989), Leininger (1993), and Hurley and Shogren (1998). (1) Recently, several economists have studied collective rent seeking–that is, contests in which competition for the rent arises among groups of players and the rent is awarded to a group. For example, Nitzan (1991a, 1991b), Baik and Shogren (1995), Lee (1995), Hausken (1995), and Baik and Lee (1997) study collective rent seeking with a privategood rent. Katz et al. (1990), Ursprung (1990), Baik (1993), Riaz et al. (1995), Katz and Tokatlidu (1996), and Baik et al. (2001) study collective rent seeking with a group-specific public-good rent. A salient feature of the rent-seeking contests in these articles is that the players expend their outlays noncooperatively.

The laser industry is poised for substantial growth, reports Frost Sullivan (Mountain View, CA). Global demand for industrial laser systems should grow from $1.2 billion in 1992 to more than $2 billion by the end of the decade. Major technical trends include higher power for sealed carbon dioxide (CO^sub^2) laser systems and Nd:YAG laser systems, new crystals for tunable solid-state laser systems, blue diode lasers with output near 623 nm, and 193 nm excimer lasers for industrial applications. These new laser technologies are replacing existing laser systems as well as other manufacturing techniques. Examples include using tunable solidstate lasers instead of dye lasers and diode lasers in place of helium neon (HeNe) laser systems. In related news, the US Department of Energys Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne, IL), operated by the University of Chicago, and Spawr Industries (Lake Havasu City, AZ), a specialist in high-power laser technology, are partners in a twoyear project to improve lenses and mirrors to shape laser beams for industrial use. The cooperative RD agreement also may improve laser thermal simulation in testing components found in jet engines and particle accelerators for their ability to withstand heat. The projects primary focus is improving Spawrs radiometric power meter for high-energy lasers. The conventional measurement method takes 10 sec to absorb the total laser beam; the Spawr instrument measures laser power in one second by sampling a known fraction of the laser light and has a wider application range. Additional research areas include improving coatings for Spawrs laser dump to handle high-power density laser beams. The dump absorbs laser energy while a beam is tuned for a specific application. An example of Nd:YAG lasers displacing conventional processing comes from the Raycon Laser Group (Ann Arbor, MI), developers of a flexible system for laser scribing and drilling powder-metal (PM) connecting rods. Two stress risers (the starting points for fracture splitting the lower crankshaft journal bore from the upper journal bore) are created by producing V-shaped notches 180 degreesapart in the crank bore. The rods-consisting of carbon copper, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, chromium, nickel, oxygen, and iron-offer greater precision performance, improved weight accuracy over conventional metal rods, and reduced manufacturing costs. Prior scribing methods-broaching the Vshaped notch or producing it with a forging die-required higher forces to split the rods. The laser scribing process begins at the bottom of the journal surface and moves upward to blow slag through the kerf. The inside journal surface is mounted at 45 degreesto the beam to allow for nozzle clearance. Kerf width is between 0.008 and 0.010″ (0.20 and 0.25 mm), and depth is 0.020-0.030″ (0.51-0.76 mm). Feed rate, which affects kerf depth and the slag buildup, is 60 ipm (1524 mm/ min). To help produce a clean scribe, oxygen assistance at 70 psi (480 kPa) and a high-power YAG at 120 W also are used. According to Raycon, the force required to fracture a laser scribe stress riser is only 3000-8000 lb (13 500-35 500 N), whereas the force required for a broach scribe is 18,000 lb (80 000 N). The V-shape method is economical because it reduces the stages of manufacturing, increases the load-bearing capability of the part, and produces a perfect fit between the rod and cap.

Most debates about lawyers professional responsibilities ultimately devolve into discussions of the “role” of lawyers-including the functions lawyers serve in the legal system, how lawyers should achieve those functions, and how lawyers should reconcile conflicts between competing interests that are potentially affected by their conduct. The notion of a lawyers role can be helpful for identifying principles of behavior. Thus, for example, whether attorney-client confidentiality is appropriate and whether exceptions should be acknowledged depends on the conception of lawyers from which one starts. If lawyers are to be clients sole and fully-allied champions, then strict confidentiality rules make sense. If lawyers are to be objective intermediaries between clients and society and have independent obligations to the law, exceptions seem more acceptable. The task of code drafters is facilitated when they can proceed from the assumption that a single paradigm governs the lawyers role-either a paradigm encapsulating a theory of behavior (how lawyers ordinarily act) or a paradigm encapsulating a normative ideal (how lawyers should act). When code drafters rely upon multiple paradigms (for example, lawyers should act as clients alter egos and as officers of the court), inconsistent regulatory mandates can result, and lawyers may become confused about their functions. The ABAs 1908 Canons of Ethics, which prevailed in most American jurisdictions throughout the early twentieth century, suffered from an emphasis on inconsistent ideals.1 The bar was in a state of disagreement about lawyers roles and lawyers had no point of reference for determining how to act.2 Therefore, when the ABA adopted the first concrete professional code in 1969,3 it became important for the drafters to identify an over-arching theory. By emphasizing the lawyers place in the adversarial system, the 1969 code served a forceful unifying and educational function.4 Nevertheless, an ethics codes overemphasis on a single paradigm can lead to undesirable results. It tends to produce idealized rules that either rest on counter-factual assumptions or impose obligations on lawyers that are so inconsistent with their personal incentives that violations become routine. In modern times, an exclusive focus on the adversarial ethic seems less important than in 1969 because lawyers have developed a shared sense of core obligations to clients and of the part lawyers play in the legal system. The recent history of lawyer regulation reflects a desire on the part of the bar to fine-tune the basic message of the 1969 code-to recognize more nuances than, perhaps, a single image of lawyers can accommodate.5 The task of drafting professional rules is complicated by the fact that the public perception of the bar is not unitary. Society views lawyers in many different, and sometimes inconsistent, ways. These multiple conceptions influence code drafters. In practice, the modern legal ethics codes incorporate a number of “images” of lawyers as bases, or catalysts, for disciplinary rules. Relying on these images has consequences for how the codes treat lawyers and, as a theoretical matter, for how the rules should be drafted. Part I of this Article identifies some of the different images of lawyers that exist6 and the ramifications of emphasizing each image in the professional codes. Initially at least, this Article takes no position on the accuracy of the images in describing lawyer behavior-for example, whether lawyers act in a selfinterested manner or whether lawyers feel bound by unenforceable professional norms. As a practical matter, each of the images has solid footing in some respects. That is to say, each is based on a valid characterization of how lawyers act in some situations. Part I will suggest, however, that relying upon multiple paradigms inevitably fosters schizophrenia on the part of the code drafters.

Six African countries have joined forces to study the migration of skilled health professionals from Africa. A Commonwealth workshop on the migration of health workers spearheaded the programme aimed at developing strategies for attracting and retaining health workers in South Africa, Uganda, Senegal, Ghana, Cameroon and Zimbabwe.
US census data from 1940 to 2000 are used in this paper to illustrate the importance of origin dependence on migration streams and to examine the effects of such dependence on patterns of interregional migration. These findings are then used to make possible the indirect estimation of migration flows. A method is introduced that uses historical regularities found in the ratios of secondary to primary migration and two consecutive birthplace-specific counts of multiregional population stocks. The results demonstrate how patterns of primary and secondary migration act to shape population redistribution processes. Keywords: migration trends, demographic analysis, internal migration, estimates, return migration, origin dependence, spatial redistribution, indirect estimation of migration Two classes of models are widely used to study the past evolution and alternative futures of a national population, disaggregated into regions defined at various spatial scales, for example, regions, states and counties. Both sets of models introduce the contributions of fertility, mortality and migration. It is the representation of the latter that distinguishes the two classes of models. Uniregional models focus on changes in the population stocks attributable to net migration in a single region; multiregional models focus on the patterns and contributions of directional (origin-destination-specific) migration flows among multiple regions. It has been demonstrated that the net migration specification confounds the influences of changing migration propensities with those of changing spatial population distributions and, thereby, misspecifies the demographic processes at work (Rogers 1990). The popularity of uniregional models arises partly because of the relative ease with which past net migration totals can be indirectly estimated using the well known residual method in which the change in population stocks that is not attributable to natural increase is attributed to net migration. This method has been extensively reviewed in monographs such as United Nations (1967) and Bogue, Hinze and White (1982).

GENEVA — Heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reached a record high in 2005 and are still increasing, the U.N. weather agency said. The measurements coordinated by the World Meteorological Organization show that the global average concentrations of carbon dioxide, or CO2, and nitrous oxide, or N2O, reached record levels last year and are expected to increase even further this year, said Geir Braathen, a climate specialist at the Geneva-based agency. “There is no sign that N2O and CO2 are starting to level off,” Braathen said Friday at the global bodys European headquarters. “It looks like it will just continue like this for the foreseeable future.” The concentration of carbon dioxide rose by about 0.5 percent last year to reach 379.1 parts per million, according to the agency. Nitrous oxide has totaled 319.2 parts per billion, which is 0.19 percent higher than in 2004. Levels of methane, another so-called greenhouse gas, remained stable since last year, Braathen said. Water vapor is the most common greenhouse gas, followed by CO2, N2O — produced by natural sources as well as fertilizers, tree burning and industry — and methane — produced by wetlands and other natural and human processes. There is 35.4 percent more carbon dioxide since the late 18th century primarily because of human burning for fossil fuels, the WMO statement said.

Bullying in organizations has become one the prime social phenomena which can have a direct as well as indirect impact on the productivity of employees and managers. While bullying is a part of the fabric of society, the rate of occurrence as well as the severity of bullying acts in the workplace is alarming. This paper puts forth a model that illustrates the triangular relationship and interaction between the three components in the bullying event: 1) the organizational environment and its impact on the occurrence of bullying activities; 2) the characteristics of those that bully; and 3) the characteristics of those being bullied (e.g., victims of bullying). These three interrelated issues form the triangle of bullying that is examined in this paper. This paper posits that a major source of many of the personnel relational problems faced in the workplace between coworker and coworker or manager and employees comes from bullies, just like the ones experienced on the childhood playground. Research shows that child bullies and those bullied as children have the potential to become adult bullies. Combine that with the complex, diverse, global business arena that creates high levels of stress, it is easy to understand why there is the possibility of boardroom/workplace bullies. “Bullying at work is claimed to be more crippling and devastating problem for employees than all other work related stress put together.” (Einarsen, 1999). There is one person for each of us, that Strikes fear in our hearts with the mere mention Of his/her name. That person for me is Steven Mastraonni! Even though I have not seen Steven in over 40 years, I still remember the details of his physical anatomy as if I had seen him every day for the past four decades. He was the local bully in the small town that I grew-up in Missouri. Steven matured early (I think he started shaving when he was 8 years old). To this day, I can recall the sheer terror of going to school and trying to get home each day without encountering Steven along the way. As an adult, I am significantly less concerned for my physical well-being relative to modern day terrorists, than I was with Steven and he did not have access to nuclear or biological weapons of mass destruction! For many adults, there is a Steven in their work places. One who strikes fear in their hearts that develops into significant levels of stress. The unfortunate reality is that bullying is moving from the playground of our childhood, to the offices and boardrooms of our adult business arenas. Questions about this social phenomenon, as it appears in a business context need to be asked. Why are bullying acts occurring more frequently? What can be done to address bullying in the workplace? Bullying (i.e., repeated acts and practices that are directed deliberately or unconsciously, but clearly cause humiliation, offence and distress, and that interfere with job performance and/or cause an unpleasant work environment {Einarsen, 1999}) is typically proactive and frequently involve a continuous process of badgering the victim (Rayner Cooper, 1997). There are a number of historic business leaders who are described in the annuals of business as management tyrants and/or bullies (e.g., John D. Rockefeller, Henry Clay Frick, and Henry Ford).

Trendy clothing franchise offers insight on shopping for teenagers this holiday season MINNEAPOLIS — Its no secret that fashion is top-of-mind for many teenagers today. To get people into full swing for holiday shopping, Scott Giesinger, director of Platos Closet[R], encourages people to think smart when it comes to shopping for teenagers and young adults. “Staying on top of fashion trends can be difficult, and that can make shopping for teenagers a challenge,” Giesinger said. “We know what teenagers look for in fashion and we have observed first-hand how they shop for apparel and accessories. In fact, its amazing how smart our consumers/customers are when it comes to fashion, and its interesting how they implement great ideas into their wardrobes to reflect their own personal styles.” According to a Washington Post snapshot study on teen shopping habits: * Although it might seem as though teenagers spend frivolously when it comes to shopping, they are actually price-conscious.

Coubertins lexicon is littered with the term, or derivatives of the term, beauty. He talks of the “radiant beauty” of the Empress Eudoxia, (1) the “beauty” of gymnastics, (2) the “beauty” of a Worlds Fair, (3) and of course, the “beauty” of sport itself. (4) Places are similarly described–the “majestic beauty of the Parthenon,” (5) the “beauty” of Antwerp, (6) and the “beauty of a facility:” (7) he even talks of the “beauty of great spaces.” (8) The idea of beauty is also linked with other concepts in provocative and instructive ways: he talks of “beauty and moral strength,” (9) “physical beauty and health,” (10) “moral beauty,” (11) “beauty and perfection,” (12) describing the Olympics as “festivals of youth, beauty, and strength.” (13) So widespread is Coubertins application of the word beauty that it is applied equally to the descriptive and evocative–to the purely adjectival–as it is to the metaphysical and ontological. Ultimately, Coubertins multifarious conceptualization of beauty serves as the cornerstone of a cultural aesthetic of sport grounded in the Enlightenment promise of rational social progress and the imagined perfectibility of the individual and of society. The purpose of this paper is both to interrogate Coubertins concept of beauty as well as to identify and elucidate some of the philosophical ideas that served as historical precedents to this highly idiosyncratic formulation. In so doing, we hope to further analyze and dissect Coubertins particular aesthetic Olympic imperative, an axiology well understood to have stemmed from Coubertins reverence for the aesthetic vision of ancient Hellenism, but one that also ran through the idealist thinking of a wide variety of philosophers ranging from Shaftsbury to Goethe, from Leibniz to Humboldt, and from Weiland to Schiller. Of particular significance were the ideas of British theoretician of aesthetics John Ruskin, whose ideology inspired Coubertin to seek to beautify the entire Olympic edifice, to accomplish what Kruger calls “a noble Gesamtkunstwerk.” (14) Grounded in the history of ideas, we argue that despite Coubertins attempt to develop a cultural theory of sport which would complement his ideology of the Olympic Games, ultimately his moral reform agenda floundered not only because it was, as Brown rightly notes, “masculinist, paternalistic and conservative. a bourgeois discourse of art and culture where the pleasure of physical activity was necessarily abstracted to the level of the intellectual perception of beauty,” (15) but also because the very notions of moral beauty, or moral progress, or the beautiful soul, lost favor in European thought because they tended toward exclusivity, elitism, and the atomization of self, what Hegel called an “empty nothingness.” (16) From the very beginning of his Olympic odyssey, Coubertin waxed lyrical about the beauty of ancient Greece, the “majestic beauty” and “tranquil serenity” of the Parthenon, (17) and most especially the beauty of Olympia, “the cradle of a view of life strictly Hellenic in form.” (18) Profoundly enamored by the “holy city of ancient athletics,” “the capital of ancient sport,” (19) he dwelt on Olympias Edenic qualities, its “serene beauty and its tranquil majesty,” (20) on “the beauty of the surrounding countryside,” (21) “the beauty” of the “giant plane trees, olive trees and silver poplars,” (22) and on the beauty of the entire environment: “Cool, pure air, fragrant with the scent of the fields, wafted from the banks of the Alpheus,” he wrote during his visit to the site in 1927. “For a moment the moon lit up a vaporous landscape, then the starry night fell on the two thousand years I had come to recapture.” (23) Olympia, as a literary topos, served as Coubertins secular locus amoenus. Inevitably, given Coubertins trenchant romanticism and Hellenic zealotry, Olympia assumed a thematic significance well beyond a matter of simple geography and climate. Coubertin specifically praised the Greeks aesthetic ingenuity when creating “dominant silhouettes that integrated man, architecture, and countryside and produced an impression of beauty that appealed to the masses, even the least refined.” (24) Just as Julies garden in Jean-Jacques Rousseaus book Julie becomes symbolic of the “beautiful soul,” (25) so in Coubertins allegorical rhetoric, Olympia becomes the incarnation of what lurked at the heart of his aesthetic ideology, his notion of eurythmy. Echoing themes that were to continually infuse his thinking, he wrote that:

magazine geared towards the active game enthusiast will feature a
retrospective that looks back on the last decade of gaming.”The staying power of Computer Games Magazine is a testament to the
talented and dedicated staff of editors and writers who have made
contributions to the magazine over the past ten years,” said Russ
Hoefer, publisher, Computer Games Magazine. “The exponential growth
of the computer games industry has clearly fueled consumer demand for
games information and we look forward to continuing to deliver our
readers another decade of what we do best - the very best coverage of
computer games.”The magazines 13-page blowout on a decade of games opens with a look
at CGMs initial roots and then goes on to recap some of the best
(and worst) computer games from 1990 through the present in a series
of “random game comments.” Included is a look at each years
award-winning and top-selling games in all genres and humorous
“quotables” from readers, celebrities and game developers. The
retrospective divides the past ten years into three categories: “The
Early Years” (1990-1994), “Of Phonebooks And Metaphors” (1995-1998),
an irreverent commentary on the exploding size of game magazines and
CGMs use of “terrible metaphors” in nearly every article, and “The
Modern Age” (1999-Present). Since the launch of the October 1990 inaugural issue, Computer Games
Magazine has evolved into the most engaging, entertaining and trusted
computer game magazine on the market today. Geared towards active
gamers, CGM provides useful, well-written, accurate information on
the best games and how to win them. When CGM first appeared on
newsstands almost 10 years ago, it described itself as “Serious Fun,”
and that approach to reporting on games is still relevant today. About games.theglobe.com — games.theglobe.com, part of theglobe.com

What does it take to develop and produce a No. 1 computer game? Exactly what it takes to be successful playing a No. 1 computer game: good players, says Tim Train, a vice president with computer game developer Big Huge Games. Its critical to assemble the right team, which means we spend a tremendous amount of time on our recruiting and hiring process, said Train, whose firm is headquartered in the Timonium section of Baltimore County. The methodical approach appears to have paid off. Since the April release its latest game, Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots has racked up more than 1 million in sales at $29.95 a pop. The game is currently rated the No. 1 selling computer game, according to NPD Group Inc., a company that tracks computer-game sales. Developed by Brian Reynolds, the real-time strategy game lets players assume the roles of Americans, Persians and four other new nations; as well as four new historical single player campaigns, including Napoleon and the Cold War.

Computing is one of the largest and fastest changing of all magazine sectors and is divided into sub-sectors where cover ranges from the internet to gaming consoles and personal computers. The personal computing market itself is further divided by the Audit Bureau of Circulation into Computing Miscellaneous; Computing PC Business; Computing PC Games and Computing PC Leisure. Jamie Malley, circulation manager at Future Publishings Computing Division, says that with the high cover prices of many computing titles–up to 6 [pounds sterling]–it can be a strong category for retailers even if sales fail to rival those of a few years ago. “Many retailers find that by rationalising their range down to fewer titles, but concentrating on the better quality titles, their revenues grow,” he says, but added: “Although the PC sector has seen some significant drops in sales over the past 12-18 months, there are indications that it is recovering”.

Depending upon who is telling the story, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) (1) is either the “pit bull of environmental laws” (2) or a political fig leaf providing cover for business as usual. (3) Those differing views are mirrored by opinions about the scientific underpinnings of the Act and its implementation. Environmentalists insist that political considerations lead the United States Fish Wildlife Service and NOAA Fisheries, the two federal agencies responsible for implementing the ESA, to ignore science in favor of development, while the regulated community sees precisely the opposite problem. (4) Both supporters and opponents of the ESA are intent on gaining the scientific high ground. In part, that desire undoubtedly stems from the Act itself, which requires that a number of key decisions rest upon the best available scientific information. (5) But it goes deeper than that. Scientific victory seems to hold the key to political victory. Both sides seem convinced that public opinion turns on whether, and to what extent, science supports the decisions of the agencies responsible for implementing the ESA. There is good reason to think that this assumption is accurate. As a society, we hunger for objective, rule-based decision making, especially when the decision pits human interests against those of another species. We worry that decisions lacking a firm, objective basis may be arbitrary, wholly “political,” wholly dependent upon the whims of the particular decision maker, or made on the basis of improper motivations. We look to “science” to provide the objectivity we crave. The demand for strong scientific support of ESA decisions will only grow in the future, as the costs of conservation measures become higher and more apparent. (6) Science, however, is not as objective or neutral a basis for decisions as we might hope. In recent years, the uncertainties and gaps in the supposedly “scientific” decision making of the ESA have become increasingly apparent, and increasingly the source of controversy and contention. (7) At the same time, several reviews have strongly endorsed the use of science in making decisions under the ESA. (8) That juxtaposition suggests that different observers are looking for different things from the use of science in these decisions. The controversies raise important questions about how science is actually being used, what we are seeking from science, what we are actually getting from it, and what we should realistically expect.

Nicholas Brown. Utopian Generations: The Political Horizon of Twentieth Century Literature. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2005. 1 + 235 pp. $26.95 In Utopian Generations: The Political Horizon of Twentieth Century Literature, Nicholas Brown proposes to refashion the relative literary and political positions occupied by modernism and postcolonial African literature. For Brown, Marxism illuminates the political vicissitudes of modernisms appropriation and subjection of the labor of African literature to the evaluative modes of literary theory as a final product of capital. Modernisms self-satisfaction and commoditization of the raw material and labor supplied by African literature, as well as African literatures often willing reconstitution of itself as eventual capital in a postcolonial market, get rectified in a utopian totality. There is an inverse relationship between utopias decline and the flowering of literary theory, all of which Brown argues is a historically causal effect of postcolonialism and consequently capitalism–of Hegels anthropological history. As Brown says, utopias totality hinges on “neither a literary history nor abstract universal history but on each texts relation to history itself” (3). Hegels emphasis on history serves as the utopic pretext under which both the modernist and African literary traditions realize their full meaning insofar as analyses of respective works in these traditions become structurally dialectic antimonies, each one deficient in political efficacy without the other. Capitalisms dialectical contradictions produce a social totality and reveal a utopian desire which Brown attempts to unveil in the complementarity of modernist and postcolonial texts such as the work of James Joyce and Chinua Achebe. Probing the essentially deconstructive agonism and rhetorical codependence of these literary genres certainly requires textual sensitivity and a skillful application of pre-existing theoretical modes. As textual analysis, Browns argument is distinguishable from his broader theoretical and political claims of a reinvigorated utopianism. Browns detailed reading of African literature, particularly Ngugi wa Thiongos play “I Will Marry When I Want” (1976) and Pepetelas A Geracao da Utopia (1993), is insightful, but its political significance and counterpoint to modernism may not engender the profitable new interpretive field Brown imagines–what he refers to as a sort of negative utopia. That is, Brown presumes a reading of Marx and Hegel unique enough to maintain a utopian framework sans any traditional positive thrust. A political and literary dialectic operates according to a negation which history and time, the full weight of historical dialectic, transform into a becoming-conscious of a positive vision of utopianism. History is, for Hegel, the transformative process of totality of negation into totality as utopic–the conflation of teleological ends with a contingent past in a total utopian moment. Brown readily confesses that history is a launching-off point for his supposed innovative notion of a negative utopia defined by an ephemeral space against which less violative assessments of modernism and African literature are made. If so, it is troublesome to maintain that the conclusion does not closely follow from the premise; and yet this is the crux of the political and literary work Brown envisions for utopia.

Many nurses may be familiar with life coaching or executive coaching. Coaching is a partnership between coach and client. The coaching process is designed to support clients as they work toward fulfilling personal and professional goals. While life and executive coaching may be the most well-known forms of coaching, the approach and methods of coaching have been extrapolated into other areas or niches. One of these is AD/HD coaching. “A designed partnership that combines coaching skills with knowledge of attention deficit disorder, a neurobiological condition. The coaching process enhances quality of life, improves performance, and supports growth and change. The purpose of AD/HD coaching is to provide support, structure, and accountability. Coach and client collaboratively explore strengths, talents, tools, and new learning to increase self-awareness and personal empowerment. Together they design strategies and actions and monitor progress by creating accountability in line with goals and aspirations” (IAAC, 2007). AD/HD coaching was brought into the spotlight as an intervention for the treatment of adult AD/HD by Hallowell and Ratey (1994) in their seminal book, Driven to Distraction. At that time, professionals focused mainly on educational accommodations and therapy for children and teens with AD/HD. Little had been written about coaching for youth with AD/HD, and the focus on youth coaching was centered on academics. Academic and educational coaches were available to students needing support, with a strong recommendation of academic coaching for struggling students with AD/HD and learning disabilities. Help4ADD@HighSchool (Nadeau, 1998) was one of the first books to discuss AD/HD coaching on a larger scale, reaching beyond simply academic coaching. In her book, Dr. Nadeau states, “Coaching is one of the best ways to deal with your ADD. A coach provides external structure and support, and teaches [you] how to develop your own internal structure” (p. 62). Coaching helps children and teens with AD/HD with several key challenges they face. First, coaching helps a child/teen learn techniques for maintaining focus, stay on task, and improve time management and organizational skills. The development of these skills can contribute to smoother family life and improved school performance. These skills are also the building blocks for future success. Second, by initiating the coaching process with school-aged children, coaches are able to help students with AD/HD avoid frustration and keep motivated, as well as help them build self-confidence and self-awareness during the formative years. Third, most children benefit from daily routines and structures, and building structure and predictability through routines is an effective tool for parents of challenging children with AD/HD (Heininger Weiss, 2001). Yet, routines can be difficult for the child with AD/HD to maintain, and a busy parent can easily be thrown off a routine when a child has AD/HD. Additionally, many parents of children and teens with AD/HD have attentional issues themselves and find it difficult to keep up with a plan on a daily basis. With the support of a well-trained AD/HD coach (IAAC, 2007), effective structure and routines can be developed and sustained, facilitating the consistency that allows children with AD/HD and related behavioral issues to thrive. This can be done with support, care, and humor to protect and build the self-esteem of everyone involved.
