The Lemonade Stand: Feminist And Other Reflections On The Limited Liability Of Corporate Shareholders, Theresa A. Gabaldon

Vanderbilt Law Review

The sultriness that was summer in D.C. blanketed the pedestrians returning to Capitol Hill. Trickling toward home through air that passively resisted, I almost overlooked a shape emerging from the haze of my own street. It might have been some atmospherically-induced apparition; rather, there, in the 1990s, in front of a well-kept urban rowhouse with door adorned by yuppie wreath, sat an immaculate child, seraphically presiding over a linen-covered table bearing a pitcher made of Tupperware. His neatly lettered sign, presumably prepared by an invisible caregiver in endorsement of his enterprise, read "Lemonade - 50 Cents."

It's Raining, It's Pouring, Kay Haugaard

Word Ways

Do teachers still tell students not to say "They say summer's going to be cool" or "They say magenta and turquoise are the hot new colors" because "they" in this usage is too indefinite? "Who does it refer to?" was always the standard question my teacher posed. "Who are 'they' and who are doing all these things?" she would ask emphatically, then go into something about antecedents.

New Phonetic Name Search Algorithm, Alan Frank

Word Ways

Telephone books work because the listings are generated in a way that ensures that the company has the correct spelling of your name, and when your friends look you up, they'll also generally have a pretty good idea of how it's spelled.

Greenwood Grammar, Douglas Greenwood

Word Ways

I don't know whether these (mostly) four-line verses of rhymed couplets deserve to be called recreational linguistics - but it has been fun comping them! There are many more figures of speech which could have been similarly treated; perhaps other Word Ways readers would care to try. These quatrains have the named figure of speech built in as an example: I hope the additional commons don't belabor the point too much. My thanks to the editor for improvements on some of the verses.

Exact Enumeration And Scaling For Fragmentation Of Percolation Clusters, Boyd F. Edwards, M. F. Gyure, M. V. Ferer

All Physics Faculty Publications

The fragmentation properties of percolation clusters yield information about their structure. Monte Carlo simulations and exact cluster enumeration for a square bond lattice and exact calculations for the Bethe lattice are used to study the fragmentation probability a_s(p) of clusters of mass s at an occupation probability p and the likelihood b_s′s(p) that fragmentation of an s cluster will result in a daughter cluster of mass s′. Evidence is presented to support the scaling laws a_s(p_c)∼s and b_s′s(p_c)=s^-φg(s′/s), with φ=2-σ given by the standard cluster-number scaling …

The Taxation Of Nonshareholder Contributions To Capital: An Economic Analysis, Thomas L. Evans

Vanderbilt Law Review

Every year, billions of dollars are contributed to corporations by persons who are neither owners nor shareholders of those corporations. These contributions, categorized under the income tax laws as "non- shareholder contributions to capital," play an important economic role in subsidizing the construction of new factories and other improvements to the nation's infrastructure.

This Article concerns the federal income tax treatment of the two principal categories of nonshareholder contributions to capital, which together encompass the great majority of these transactions. The first category consists of contributions made for the purpose of obtaining economic development. Typically, this occurs when governments and …

Mapping Instream Habitat On The San Juan River Using Airborne Videography, Michael J. Pucherelli, William P. Goettlicher, Bureau Of Reclamation, U.S Department Of The Interior

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

Concerns have been raised over the potential impacts of the Animas/LaPlata project and the regulation of Navajo Dam. Flow depletions in the San Juan River may adversely affect the remnant population of the native fish, particularly the endangered Colorado squawfish and the razorback sucker. A multiyear research program is currently being conducted on the San Juan River as a result of a Jeopardy Opinion delivered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Animas/LaPlata and the subsequent Reasonable and Prudent Alternative that was accepted. A mulidisciplinary research team composed of representatives from the affected agencies is currently investigating the relationship …

Closing The Book On The School Trust Lands, C. Maison Heidelberg

Vanderbilt Law Review

Public education in the United States faces a crisis. Financially strapped state and local governments find funding more and more difficult to supply; as a result, the quality of public education suffers. Predictably citizens are concerned, yet they resist paying increased taxes to meet the rising costs.

School trust lands provide one potential source of extra revenue. Though their existence is not well known, these lands are tremendous assets held by most states other than the original thirteen. In general, they have produced significant amounts of revenue for public education, yet historically state management of the lands has been marred …
