Federal Taxation, Steven C. Evans Jul 1992

Federal Taxation, Steven C. Evans

Mercer Law Review

The federal tax cases decided by the Eleventh Circuit during 1991 reversed one trend and continued another trend of 1990. The Eleventh Circuit decided a number of procedural tax cases during 1991. This trend is similar to the number of procedural cases decided in years prior to 1990, but is substantially more than the number of procedural cases decided by the Eleventh Circuit in 1990. Cases decided under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), as amended, continued to constitute the majority of the substantive tax cases decided by the Eleventh Circuit during 1991.

The Constituents Of Democracy: The Individual In The Work Of Madame Justice Wilson, Danielle Pinard

Dalhousie Law Journal

I shall attempt to share with you the impression I have of Judge Wilson's conception of the individual. I will try to present a general view of what occurred to me as I went through the opinions she wrote while at the Supreme Court of Canada, alone or with the assent of her colleagues, dissenting or in agreement with the majority.' I shall try to put together, as honestly as possible, what she explicitly said on the subject in question.

The Effect Of Being An Adult Child Of An Alcoholic On The Spiritual Well-Being Of Evangelical Christians, Dennis W. Henderson Jul 1992

The Effect Of Being An Adult Child Of An Alcoholic On The Spiritual Well-Being Of Evangelical Christians, Dennis W. Henderson

Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)

In the last decade there has been a proliferation of research on adult children of alcoholics (ACAs). However, the religious domain of ACAs has received little investigation. Wilson (1988) studied Evangelical Christian ACAs and included a brief assessment of their religious well-being. She found that ACAs report lower religious well-being than nonACAs. The purpose of this investigation was to examine further Wilson's finding and to ask whether Evangelical ACAs can be differentiated from non-ACAs based on spiritual well-being as measured by the Spiritual WellBeing Scale (SWB) . The study included 136 adults who were gathered from three Portland, Oregon area …

Ethics, Education, And 'Political Correctness, Marilyn Edelstein Jul 1992

Ethics, Education, And 'Political Correctness, Marilyn Edelstein

English

The term "political correctness" is itself a misnomer, a straw man (straw person?). Political correctness, at least on our campuses, has been defined by those opposed to and fearful of viewpoints they lump together under this loaded term. No one of good sense or good will would favor something called "political correctness" as the term is used today. But there are persons of good sense and good will who favor views sarcastically dismissed as "politically correct" by their opponents.

The Muscular Christian As Schoolmarm, John C. Hawley Jul 1992

The Muscular Christian As Schoolmarm, John C. Hawley

English

In 1859 the Saturday Review was one of the first journals to associate Charles Kingsley with a "younger generation of writers of fiction" who fostered the sentiment that "power of character in all its shapes goes with goodness." "Who does not know," the reviewer asked, "all about the 'short, crisp, black hair,' the 'pale but healthy complexion,' the 'iron muscles,' 'knotted sinews,' 'vast chests,' 'long and sinewy arms,' 'gigantic frames,' and other stock phrases of the same kind which always announce, in contemporary fiction, the advent of a model Christian hero?"1 After Kingsley's death in 187 5, however, Henry James …

Mandatory Life Sentence Without Parole Found Constitutionally Permissble For Cocaine Possession—Harmelin V. Michigan, 111 S. Ct. 2680 (1991), Andrew H. Mun Jul 1992

Mandatory Life Sentence Without Parole Found Constitutionally Permissble For Cocaine Possession—Harmelin V. Michigan, 111 S. Ct. 2680 (1991), Andrew H. Mun

Washington Law Review

In Harmelin v. Michigan, the United States Supreme Court held (5-4) that a legislatively-mandated life sentence without parole for possession of 672.5 grams of cocaine did not violate the Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause of the Eighth Amendment. In reaching the result, two Justices abrogated the proportionality principle in the Eighth Amendment and three Justices abridged the proportionality standard promulgated in Solem v. Helm. This Note examines the Harmelin decision and suggests that the Court does not adequately justify abrogating or limiting the Solem proportionality standard. This Note recommends application of the Solem proportionality standard and concludes that imposition of …

The Character Of Surface Archaeological Deposits And Its Influence On Survey Accuracy, Luann Wandsnider, Eileen Camilli Jul 1992

The Character Of Surface Archaeological Deposits And Its Influence On Survey Accuracy, Luann Wandsnider, Eileen Camilli

Department of Anthropology: Faculty Publications

Survey is one of the primary methods of data collection in archaeology today. Survey data often constitute the sole conserved record of the prehistoric use of an area and are used as the foundation for culture historical, demographic, and economic reconstructions. Given the fundamental nature of survey data in relation to other archaeological pursuits, identification of biases inherent in this type of data are important and have been the subject of a number of stimulating studies. Analyses reported here focus on the accuracy of results produced through intensive survey. Using data from several siteless surveys in the American West, the …

The Effect Of A Weight Training Program On The Happiness Of Young Women, Natalie Dowty Jul 1992

The Effect Of A Weight Training Program On The Happiness Of Young Women, Natalie Dowty

Student Work

An increasing body of research indicates that exercise has some positive psychological effects. But few studies focus specifically on weight training as the treatment, or happiness as the dependent variable. Additionally, much research has focused on psychological state changes from immediately before, to immediately following a physical activity. Little has been reported on the relationship between weight training and general happiness over a longer period of time, (i.e. three to four months). The purpose of this study was: (a) to determine the effect of beginning and maintaining a regular weight training program on the happiness of previously sedentary women, (b) …

Rotating-Wave Approximation In High-Gain Lasers, Lee W. Casperson Jul 1992

Rotating-Wave Approximation In High-Gain Lasers, Lee W. Casperson

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Semiclassical models for lasers typically incorporate a fundamental simplification called the rotating-wave approximation. In this study the rotating-wave approximation is reexamined, and its implications for the simplest problem of a steady-state laser oscillator are considered in detail. It is found that for practical laser operating conditions the errors resulting from this approximation may not always be negligible.

Negotiating In Good Faith: Management's Obligation To Maintain The Status Quo During Collective Bargaining Under The Railway Labor Act - International Ass'n Of Machinists & Aerospace Workers V. Transportes Aereos Mercantiles Pan Americandos, S.A., Jay M. Dade

Journal of Dispute Resolution

When an employer and employee-representative union engage in collective bargaining negotiations, their negotiating activities are covered under the auspices of the Railway Labor Act.2 The Act, particularly applicable today in the tumultuous airline industry, established a rather elaborate mechanism for negotiation, mediation, voluntary arbitration, and conciliation to avoid interruptions to interstate commerce, to protect employees' freedom of association with respect to labor unions, and to provide prompt and orderly dispute settlements. 3 Indispensable to this scheme, Section 152, First of the Act imposes a statutory obligation upon the parties to such negotiations to bargain in good faith.4 In International Ass …

Book Review

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Getting Past No is an important companion to a previous book co-authored by William Ury. In 1981, Ury collaborated with Roger Fisher on a book entitled Getting to Yes, 3 which has sold more than two million copies and has become one of the most influential works on the subject of negotiation. Getting to Yes is a lucid, step-by-step guide for negotiating mutually satisfactory agreements. The authors labeled their approach "principled negotiation" and boiled it down to the following points: separate the people from the problem; focus on interests, not positions; generate a variety of possibilities before deciding what to …

Recent Developments: The Uniform Arbitration Act, Angela C. Cole, Nicole J. Cress, Kevin L. Fritz, Lori L. Green

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Arbitration, once viewed as an undesirable alternative to litigation, has become widely accepted as a viable and often superior cost-effective approach to resolving disputes. In 1955, the national Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws proposed a Uniform Arbitration Act.' Currently, 35 jurisdictions have arbitration statutes patterned after the U. A.A..' What began as an article in the Missouri Law Review entitled Recent Developments: The Uniform Arbitration Act, has evolved into an annual survey of recent developments in case law interpreting state versions of the U.A.A.' This detailed update monitors the underlying principles and rationales that develop from recent decisions. …
