Enforcement Of Restrictions By Homeowners Associations: Balancing Individual Rights And Community Interests, Gerald Korngold Jan 1998

Enforcement Of Restrictions By Homeowners Associations: Balancing Individual Rights And Community Interests, Gerald Korngold

Articles & Chapters

Residential developments often create a general scheme of restrictions, operate common facilities, and establish an owners association to enforce the restrictions and operate the common areas. Private governments raise difficult public policy and legal issues. Private regimes should generally be enforced as they encourage the efficient use of land, allow choice in living arrangements, and foster participatory democracy. At the same time, though, the restrictions can offend personal autonomy, create inefficiencies, and permit undue control by past generations over present owners. The law should therefore enforce homeowners association covenants that prevent harmful fallout on the neighborhood, but they should not …

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

The small rural mountain town of Alberton, MT located 32 miles west of Missoula, MT was the 1996 site of the largest contamination event in railroad history involving a mixture of chemicals. On April 11, 1996 a Montana Rail Link train derailed just west of the town of Alberton, leaking 130,000 pounds of chlorine gas, 17,000 of potassium cresylate (spent oil refinery waste), and 85 dry bulk pounds of sodium chlorate into the Alberton environment. Approximately 1000 people were evacuated from their homes, many for the seventeen day evacuation period that followed. The video documentary project that I embarked on …

Child-Custody Adjudication - The Twentieth Century Dilemma: Reconciling The Best Interest Of The Child In A Cross-Cultural Setting, Jasmine Rita Renner

The paper also examines the role and impact of assisted reproductive technology on custody adjudication. Most importantly, the paper focuses on the best interest of the child doctrine under Article 3(1) of the United Nations Convention on …

Few-Cycle Pulses In Two-Level Media, Lee W. Casperson Jan 1998

Few-Cycle Pulses In Two-Level Media, Lee W. Casperson

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Techniques for producing, measuring, and applying ever shorter electromagnetic pulses are being developed for incorporation in a variety of modern high-speed systems. In many cases these pulses are at most a few cycles in length, and so-called half-cycle electromagnetic pulses are also widely employed. The interaction of such pulses with two-level media is considered here in detail, and these media are basic to many of the absorbing and amplifying configurations of optics and laser studies. Significant delays and distortion of the resulting polarization and population pulses can occur, and nonlinear optical effects are also revealed. The limitations of the parity, …

Conceptualizing The Impact Of Health Care Crimes On The Poor, Brian K. Payne Jan 1998

Conceptualizing The Impact Of Health Care Crimes On The Poor, Brian K. Payne

Sociology & Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

Past research shows that a small percentage of health care employees commit an assortment of criminal acts while on the job. Missing from previous research, however, is an examination of the effects such acts have on the poor (i.e. the victims). This paper fills this void by considering the effects of three broadly defined health care crimes: Medicaid fraud, elder abuse, and prescription fraud. In addition to the direct victimization experiences of those served by me health care system, the physical, economic, and time losses are also considered. Implications for future research and policy are provided.

Acclaiming, Attacking, And Defending On Political Talk Radio, Joseph R. Blaney, P. M. Pier

Iowa Journal of Communication

In recent years, the importance of talk radio has grown dramatically. From 1989 to 1994, the number of news/talk radio stations grew from 308 to 1,028 (Petrozello, 1994a). Furthermore, one seventh of all radio revenue in 1993 came from buys at talk outlets (Petrozello, 1994b). Among American adults, 18% report listening to political talk shows at least twice every week (Cappella, Turow, & Jamieson, 1996). Anecdotal evidence suggests chat calk radio can be highly influential in the electoral process (Zerbinos, 1995/1996). On February 12, 1996, the leading contenders for the Republican presidential nomination appeared ad seriatum on Des Moines calk …

"The More Speeches I Gave, The Better It Got:" Reflections On Managing Highly Apprehensive Students, Marsha Clowers Jan 1998

"The More Speeches I Gave, The Better It Got:" Reflections On Managing Highly Apprehensive Students, Marsha Clowers

Iowa Journal of Communication

There is no singular method of immediately and permanently dispensing with anxiety about public communication. The pedagogical strategies described in this thought piece, however, when used in a receptive environment and combined with the essentials of public speaking training can, given time, help students appreciate the thrill of public speaking. In my experience, individual attention outside of class and constructive group criticism during class do much to ease highly apprehensive students. This narrative contains my reflections on working with just such a group.
