  DCYF: Questions about Foster Care
Foster parents are licensed by the Department of Children, Youth and Families to care for children who must temporarily leave their parents’ homes.
It is the role of foster parents to offer a safe and stable home to these children, while working with the agency to prepare them for their return to their parents.
For the vast majority of children in foster care, their case plan goal is reunification with their parents and the department is mandated to work with the parents to offer them the services necessary to enable them to provide a safe and nurturing home for their children.

 Salon.com Books | "Author Unknown" by Don Foster
Don Foster is a Shakespeare scholar, but even Shakespeare is a couple of points down the scale from the literary figure he's been studying for the past few years.
Foster made his name by helping to bulk up Shakespeare's C.V. with one more entry: As a doctoral candidate in the mid-'80s, he flagged a neglected Elizabethan funeral elegy as a lost work of Shakespeare's, and gradually invented a computer-assisted method of textual analysis to help prove his case.
Foster's gift and attainment is that he can spell out the difference between these two gentlemen's styles, and explain how he knows what he knows.

 Don Foster and the Funeral Elegy
Foster did advise Elliott and Valenza on some textual matters, since neither of them is a literary scholar, but he had nothing to do with the planning of the project or the actual testing.
Foster's response was "that it was necessary to first get tests that work." So his Claremont authorship project conflicts with his Elegy work, one or the other, or perhaps both are erroneous.
Don Foster knows more about the genre of Jacobean funeral elegies than probably any person alive, and he knows very well what he's talking about with regard to the Funeral Elegy's genre.

 Don Foster and the Funeral Elegy, 2002
Don Foster is very much aware of all the factors to consider in attribution studies.
Foster's restrictions were understandable when he was working in the 1980s, when there were no electronic text databases; indeed, just doing the work he did with these restrictions led him to say at the time that he would never undertake such labor again.
Foster's method wasn't "admittedly inept"; while he made some mistakes, his methods were mostly good ones (as even Vickers admits) and he was generally on the right track.

 CNN.com - Books - Don Foster enlightens readers with 'Author Unknown' - December 6, 2000
By the time Foster was finished comparing Shakespeare works with the words and phrases of the elegy, along with digging up connections between the two, he had determined that Shakespeare was the author.
Foster set about analyzing the writing in "Primary Colors" and comparing it to the writings of top "suspects" in the case: various political writers, many of whom had worked closely with President Clinton, the real-life inspiration for "Primary Colors" candidate Jack Stanton.
Foster also deals with his favorite subject -- Shakespeare -- from another angle: those who believe Shakespeare didn't actually write the works that bear his name, that they were penned by the Earl of Oxford, Christopher Marlowe, or even Queen Elizabeth I. For the record, Foster has investigated and come to a conclusion.

 Foster Page
Donald Foster was asked to identify "Anonymous"; he was given the name of a handful of "suspects", he was not looking at the text and "profiling" the author, looking for a needle in a haystack, he was matching writing styles of certain "suspects" to a BOOK of text.
But Foster, as it turned out, had badly compromised himself as an expert witness when, early in the case, he had spontaneously written to Patsy to tell her that his initial opinion was that she was innocent.
Foster himself called me once - sounded drunk to me - asked to speak to my husband to tell him about the lawsuit he was about to file against me. I advised him that I was over 21 and he did not need to speak to my husband - file the suit.

Foster does not get bogged down in details of how he does his work, but he gives us enough to explain it well, and his clear, humorous stories are a pleasure to read.
Foster didn't realize that the basic, no-frills description of his work is the main course....we don't need the side dishes of self-aggrandizement, sarcasm and snickering behind his competitors' backs in order to come away feeling satisfied.
Foster fingered Joe Klein as the culprit using a method he had first applied in his doctoral dissertation to "A Funeral Elegy," a 17th-century poem that was written by a certain "W.S." after the death by homicide of William Peter of Exeter.

 Author Unknown - Don Foster
Foster's story as he builds his reputation with Shakespeare and Anonymous is an interesting one, and fun to follow.
Foster comes to a different conclusion (a fascinating story itself), again making a convincing case for his literary-type sleuthing.
Foster does explain who could -- and who couldn't -- have written the controversial three pages (or rather: who probably wrote what pages), but it is a somewhat muddled account of what is in any case a very muddy affair, making for less than riveting reading.

 - DON FOSTER: "FORENSIC LINGUIST" ?
Defendant Foster also accused Hatfill of the anthrax murders by implication, using language that seems to have been chosen in the hope that it would be too subtle to provide a remedy at law.
For example, while Foster’s Vanity Fair article grounds his claim to expertise primarily on his identification of Joe Klein as the author of Primary Colors, Foster’s first real claim to fame was his attribution of a 1612 poem, “A Funeral Elegy,” to William Shakespeare.
Defendant Foster’s performance in the Ramsey investigation has significant points in common with his role in the anthrax investigation; indeed, the timelines of Foster’s involvement in the two cases are strikingly similar.

 Amazon.frĀ : Author Unknown: Tales of a Literary Detective: Livres en anglais: Don Foster   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Foster is sometimes said to use computer programs to determine an author's identity, but this is only partly true: he employs searchable databases, and then conducts all of the comparative analysis himself.
HThe Elizabethan scholar from Vassar College who unmasked Joe Klein as the "Anonymous" who wrote Primary Colors now shakes up Yuletide verse with a reattribution of "A Visit from St. Nicholas." The selected cases of literary detection that lead up to this final surprise are the scholarly equivalent of FBI psychological profiler John Douglas's Mindhunter.
Whether it's because the statistical side of Foster's methodology is rather technical or that his critics have dismissed him as a "professor with a computer program," he mostly sticks to describing the fingerprints of word choice and telltale punctuation rather than lexical databases and verbal probabilities.
