Comb inedwitha history of uncoordinated efforts among agencies, these issues have resulted in an environment characterized by redundancy, inefficiency, and competition for scarce resources. The authors describe components of the Child Health and Development Project (Mississippi Thrive!), a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)-funded effort that aims to improve the states early childhood developmental health system through family and community outreach, enhancements to the state's workforce, and policy change. Additionally, authors outline key lessons learned tor others seeking to create or improve their early childhood development system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article revisits the classic paradigm of Berlin and Kay (1969). First, four substantial revisions indicating the current position and appeal to evolution are outlined. Second, the work is placed in its historical context of scholarly thought. Third, the attempt to operationalize the Whorfian hypothesis is shown to establish a frame against which Berlin and Kay reacted, and an experimental practice they appropriated. Their programme is disclosed as a structure in which results are self-evident, when in fact they are deduced from prior commitments. Berlin and Kay's new alliance with colour science is then examined by showing how experiments cancel the life-world, how a notion of 'unmediated presence' is methodologically exploited, how research techniques are effaced and data are 'cleaned'. Finally, it is suggested that the thesis is built on layers of mistakes which produce misrepresentations both of colour science and of intercultural relations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this commentary I argue that Byrne & Hubert commit a number of philosophical solecisms: They beg the question of "realism," they take the phenomenon and the theoretical model to be the same thing, and they surreptitiously substitute data sets for the life-world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
