Southern Strategies, James R. Sweeney

History Faculty Publications

From the mid-1960's, Virginia Republicans, in tune with President Richard Nixon's active "Southern strategy," revived party fortunes in the state by capitalizing on the ongoing degeneration of Virginia Senator Harry F. Byrd, Sr.'s powerful conservative Democratic organization and the factionalization of the state Democratic Party. Republican Abner Linwood Holton, Jr., solidly carried the 1969 gubernatorial election. In the 1970 senatorial election Independent Harry Flood Byrd, Jr., defeated Republican Ray Lucian Garland and Democrat George Rawlings. Senator Byrd, Jr., had enjoyed Nixon's "benevolent neutrality," but never did join the Republican Party as the president had hoped; in office he voted with …

A Molecular Evaluation Of Contaminants And Natural Organic Matter In Surface Sediments From Western Lake Ontario, Michael A. Kruge, Prasanta K. Mukhopadhyay, C.F. Michael Lewis

Department of Earth and Environmental Studies Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) analysis of bottom sediment from Lake Ontario was shown to be effective in assessing organic contaminants, especially attractive as it is a rapid technique requiring little sample preparation. Pyrolyzates of samples richer in organic matter (OM) were relatively enriched in aliphatic hydrocarbons and pyrrolic nitrogen compounds, while leaner samples were more aromatic and pyridinic. Alkylbenzene and alkylphenol distributions in the pyrolyzates were most compatible with derivation from aquatic (algal, bacterial) OM. The organonitrogen compounds indicated the presence of degraded proteinaceous material from aquatic sources and/or sewage. Normal and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon distributions indicate, at least in …

Defining The Term Disability Under The Americans With Disabilities Act, William J. Mcdevitt

St. Thomas Law Review

The key to securing the rights and protections afforded under the ADA is to fall within the statutory meaning of the term "disability." As defined, "disability" is a term of art, the meaning of which is substantially different and more complex than that found in other acts. Although the meaning of the ADA specifically refers to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and its accompanying regulations, it does so in terms of setting a floor for the imposition of the standards applicable under this Act. Furthermore, the ADA has its own unique legislative history and regulations. Therefore, the purpose of this …

Intensive Family Preservation Services: A Short History But A Long Past, Kellie B. Reed, Raymond S. Kirk

Journal of Family Strengths

Intensive family preservation services (IFPS) is a program model that has been disseminated widely throughout the country, and has received federal recognition and monetary support since the early 1980s. Recently, IFPS has been criticized for seemingly being unable to prevent out-of-home placements. The authors contend that many evaluators and policy analysts have lost sight of the historical roots of IFPS, and are focusing only on recent fiscal and policy contexts when assessing IFPS program effectiveness. This article reviews the therapeutic and programmatic origins of IFPS including desired treatment outcomes, and suggests that evaluators and policy analysts redirect their focus accordingly.

Intensive Family Preservation In Children's Mental Health: Predictors Of Placement, Cathryn C. Potter

Journal of Family Strengths

This article examines the predictors of placement following IFPSfor a sample of child mental health service recipients and their families. Risk and protective factors vary depending on the time frame under consideration. Immediately following service, children 's level of Social/Legal functioning, a previous group home placement, and the presence of mental health problems for other family members increase risk of placement, while the number of follow-up services serves to lessen risk. Three to six months after service, the presence of a child behavior presenting problem and a projected placement in foster care serve as protective factors, while two service targets, …

An Innovative Family Preservation Program In An African American Community: Longitudinal Analysis, Patricia Ciliberti

Journal of Family Strengths

This paper presents a secondary analysis of data from a longitudinal evaluation of a community-based family preservation program in Portland, Oregon, designed for and by African Americans. Families served by the Family Enhancement Program (FEP) resemble chronically neglecting families in terms of numbers of children and length of contact with child protective services. Six- and twelve-month follow-ups for FEP clients were compared to data on families served by the Oregon State Office of Services to Children and Families (SOSCF). The author found that FEP families are more likely than SOSCFfamilies to show greater improvement between the pretest scores and the …

Diplomacy In The Modern World: A Reconsideration Of The Bases For Diplomatic Immunity In The Era Of High-Tech Communications, James S. Parkhill

UC Law SF International Law Review

Diplomatic immunity has existed throughout history as a way to ensure that diplomatic visitors to foreign nations remained free to perform their essential duties. It arose for two reasons: diplomats we'e extremely important to the conduct of interstate affairs, and the difficulties of travel and communication in previous eras made it essential for ambassadors to remain at liberty to perform their diplomatic duties. Clearly, modern methods of travel and communications have done much to eliminate the second basis.

This Note will examine the extent to which they may also have impacted the first rationale as well. In other words, when …

Health Care Rationing In The Courts: A Comparative Study, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost

UC Law SF International Law Review

The role of the judiciary and government agencies in the allocation of health care resources differs across national boundaries. This Article describes how institutions in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States approach conflicts and protect rights in rationing health care. Professor Jost first describes the legal aspects of decisions on distribution and financing of health care decisions, and then examines the existing institutions in each of these countries.

In Germany, the health insurance program is an employment- based social insurance system. Under a quasi-public scheme, nonprofit health insurance funds administer the program. The German health system is overseen …

Comparative Analysis Of The United States Patent Law And The New Industrial Property Code Of Brazil, John Giust

UC Law SF International Law Review

Brazil promulgated a new Industrial Property Code in 1996 that significantly changed its patent law. In this Article, Mr. Giust compares the Brazilian statute to patent law in the United States. Through detailed analysis, the Article shows that despite the vastly different economic and social needs of both nations, the recent changes have actually brought the two patent systems closer together. As the author argues, this trend toward convergence reflects the two nations' commitment to the TRIPs Agreement, and to that extent, strongly supports the view that global patent harmonization is possible.

This Article's comparative analysis covers numerous aspects of …

Velvet Glove And Iron Fist: A New Paradigm For The Permanent War Crimes Court, David S. Bloch, Elon Weinstein

UC Law SF International Law Review

The international community is committed to the creation of a Permanent War Crimes Tribunal. The Tribunal's operating charter will most likely mirror the charters of the Yugoslav and Rwandan International War Crimes Tribunals, a model the authors argue is unsuccessful for several reasons. They believe the Yugoslav and Rwandan tribunals are largely a farce and have become mechanisms for major international war criminals to escape capital punishment.

This article proposes an alternative to the current Permanent War Crimes Tribunal as it is envisioned. The authors' alternative tribunal consists of four independent but interrelated panels: an Indictment Panel, Truth and Reconciliation …
