The first group included 7 animals that experienced sham operation and approved as control animals. In the second group (n=8), the left testes were just twisted 720 degrees and fixed by a transmesorchial suture like Ryan described. Blood samples were obtained by venapuncture at 0, 4, 8, 24 hours and 4 weeks in each group; creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and lactate de-hydrogenase (LDH) were determined. There was slight …

The H. John Heinz III Center for Science, Economics and the Environment has gathered a prominent group of policy analysts to consider how the United States might implement its Kyoto commitment, using tradable permits in tandem with other methods. The draft report of the group, entitled Limiting Greenhouse Gas Emissions Through Emissions Trading: Interim Report, examines four policy options. This Memorandum considers whether any of these options appear likely to conflict with United States international trade obligations under the newly established Uruguay Round Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization (‘WTO Agreement’).

This summary outlines the relevant law and summarizes my …

Gratis Dictum! The Limits Of Academic Free Speech On The Internet, Ray August

University of Florida Journal of Law & Public Policy

This article is about the right of university professors to exercise their academic freedom to speak out and to teach in a new forum: the Internet. Although the Internet is a new forum, this article will attempt to show that the same basic rights and duties that apply to professors in the classroom and in the academic media apply to professors speaking out on the Internet. Part I sets the stage with a very brief history of the Internet. Part II examines the principal cases dealing with academic free speech as they relate to the Internet. Most of these cases …

Speaking Freely About Reducing Violence Against Women: A Harm Reduction Strategy From The Law And Social Science Of Pornography, Michelle Chernikoff Anderson

University of Florida Journal of Law & Public Policy

This article exposes legal scholars to the research essential to establishing support for an education policy that would inoculate our children against the potentially harmful effects of consuming media that promote violence against girls and women. It argues that Dworkin-MacKinnonites, concerned about pornography, and civil libertarians, concerned about free speech, should waste neither more time nor more ink debating this issue. Rather, it is time to dedicate our efforts to creating and implementing a harm reduction educational approach to protect our children against pornography.

Part II defines the terminology used throughout the article. Part III outlines the failures of current …

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

This article discusses the use of expert testimony in prosecuting those charged with domestic abuse.

Part II discusses the appellate cases that have addressed the admissibility and scope of expert testimony …

Feminism And Defending Men On Death Row, Phyllis L. Crocker

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

In this Essay I explore the relationship between being a feminist and representing men on death row. It is appropriate to engage in this inquiry in considering how the law has developed in the twenty-five years since Furman v. Georgia. During that time both Furman and the advent of feminist legal theory have required a restructuring in the way we think about two fundamental legal questions: for death penalty jurisprudence, how and why we sentence an individual to death; and for feminist jurisprudence, how the law views crimes of violence against women. The relationship between these two developments becomes apparent …

Origins And Scope Of The American Moral Obligation Principle , Kevin M. Teeven

Cleveland State Law Review

The existence of the moral obligation principle in American case law has been recognized in the Restatement (Second) of Contracts section 86 (1): "A promise made in recognition of a benefit previously received by the promisor from the promisee is binding to the extent necessary to prevent injustice." Among common law countries, American jurisdictions are unique in recognizing this ameliorating doctrine. An analysis of the development and scope of this doctrine is buried in the centuries of case law surrounding the tension between the past consideration rule and the moral obligation principle. The intent of this study is to glean …

The Justice Who Wouldn't Be Lutheran: Toward Borrowing The Wisdom Of Faith Traditions, Marie A. Failinger

Cleveland State Law Review

Only a few legal scholars have attempted to work out what jurisprudence might look like if lawmakers and judges took their religious world-views seriously-and explicitly-in their work, in a way respectful of "the fact of pluralism." My task is to imagine the concrete case: what a judge's jurisprudence might look like if a judge considered the wisdom of his own religious tradition in constitutional cases. This article explores broad jurisprudential themes and specific First Amendment and social welfare opinions of Justice William Rehnquist, who for some years has been a member of a Lutheran congregation, my own denomination. While Justice …

Multiple Intelligence Motivational Activities Using Literature For Kindergarten And First Grade Students, Heidi Jo Ann Otis

All Graduate Projects

The purpose of this project was to identify a set of multiple intelligence activities that foster motivation for reading. These activities were to accompany specific pieces of children's literature. Children who are motivated and spend more time reading become better readers (Gambrell, 1996). The central element for this project was to develop activities for children's literature using Gardner's multiple intelligence theory. Gardner lists those seven intelligences as: Linguistic, logical/mathematical, spatial, music, kinesthetic/body, interpersonal and intrapersonal (Gardner, 1983). By giving young children a variety of intellectual modalities associated with children's literature it was hoped that all students would develop an early …

Enhancing Student Learning Through Brain-Based Learning Techniques: A Handbook For Educators, Cynthia Gail Mcfarland

All Graduate Projects

The significance of utilizing a brain-based approach to learning and teaching was researched. Current brain research indicates that often traditional educational methods are not conducive or are even detrimental to student learning. Several sources supported the brain-based learning, multiple intelligence, and learning styles theories. The research suggested that the brain-based learning approach has been beneficial not only to student learning but also to an increase in student motivation and self-esteem. A handbook for educators was created to compliment existing curriculum. This handbook features "brain friendly" strategies and activities that focus on rich and positive learning experiences that enable students to …

Program modifications for the following school year were discussed.
