The Utilization Of Outpatient Laboratory Resources At Ireland Army Community Hospital After Implementation Of Tricare, Susan Seeley

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The purpose of this study was to compare out patient laboratory utilization patterns of active duty and retired military personnel and their dependents before and after the implementation of TRICARE. A stratified random sample was taken of patient test results over a two year period resulting in a sample size of 104 observations. The Complete Blood Count (CBC) results were used as indicators for the study. Data was gathered on the patient's rank, active duty/retiree status, age, dependent status, and gender. Additionally, the total number of tests were recorded for the year prior to the introduction of TRICARE and after …

1999.2 - Abandoibarra Composite Bilbao, Martin Price, John Martin Oury

School of Architecture Student Projects - Archive

Design work from the 1999 fall semester, Studio Martin Price, School of Architecture, The University of Texas at Arlington. Abandoibarra. John Martin Oury. The Bilbao project is a composite of housing, commercial, provincial and municipal offices, library, hotel, commercial space and parking which interfaces with the city and the river. The grid of the city is respected with street vistas that continue between the swirling forms, which are inspired by Serra's torqued ellipses. Intensity of the swirling shapes increases near the Guggenheim Museum and decreases in response to the straight lines of the Euskalduna Concert Hall. Government offices are located …

The Code Model Of Communication: A Powerful Metaphor In Linguistic Metatheory, Perry Louis Blackburn Ii

Linguistics & TESOL Dissertations - Archive

The concept of communication is a fundamental notion in the metatheory of linguistics. This study explores the historical development and influence of a particular model of communication, labeled the ‘code model’. This model characterizes communication as a process wherein a source (encoder) conveys a message to a receiver (decoder) through the transmission of a signal. Communication is considered successful if the message received is the same as that sent. This study reviews use of the code model in various linguistic publications, analyzing the code model as a conceptual metaphor and arguing that it structures the way linguists think about communication …

A Critical Review Of The Law Of Business Loss Claims In Georgia Eminent Domain Jurisprudence, Charles M. Cork Iii

Mercer Law Review

The Georgia Constitution provides that "private property shall not be taken or damaged for public purposes without just and adequate compensation being first paid." While the courts have recognized that a business is property within the meaning of the constitution, case law would rewrite this provision more or less as follows:

Private property shall not be taken or damaged for public purposes without just and adequate compensation being first paid, except that the business of a property owner may be partially taken or damaged without compensation, and except that the business of a property owner or tenant may be temporarily …

Engagement Letters In Transactional Practice: A Reporter's Reflections, D. Christopher Wells

Mercer Law Review

In recent years, lawyers have turned increasingly to written contracts, usually called "engagement letters," to memorialize their professional representations. This practice grows absent specific directives requiring such writings, apparently deriving from professional preference rather than mandatory rule. It grows also despite scant attention paid by law reviews and bar publications. Only infrequently do publications appear noting this practice or offering advice on drafting engagement letters. Even continuing legal education programs give them only occasional attention.

One of the most ambitious treatments of engagement letters came in 1997 from the State Bar of Georgia in the form of a report from …

Construction Law, Brian J. Morrissey, Timothy N. Toler

Mercer Law Review

The decisions rendered by the Georgia Supreme Court and Georgia Court of Appeals during this one-year survey period included a small opening in lender liability, a minimalist view of the requirements of evidence as it pertains to the law of fraud, an extensive discussion of the law of damages as it applies to construction contracts, and a harsh result because of failure to comply with the requirements of the mechanic's and materialmen's lien statute. This Article addresses these significant movements in the law and some of the reaffirmations of existing law in the construction field between June 1, 1998, and …

Domestic Relations, Barry B. Mcgough, Gregory R. Miller

Mercer Law Review

Of the domestic relations cases decided by the Georgia Supreme Court and the Georgia Court of Appeals during the survey period, twenty-seven are digested here. Possibly the most notable events of the survey period were pieces of legislation that were not enacted. A bill to restore direct appeals for certain domestic relations cases did not make it to the Governor's desk, and the Governor vetoed a bill that would have required trial judges hearing custody cases to consider the custodial elections of children between the ages of twelve and fourteen. While the Georgia General Assembly otherwise focused on ways to …

Evidence, Marc T. Treadwell

Mercer Law Review

The survey period saw a number of cases raising significant evidentiary issues. Most notable is the continuing evolution of the necessity exception to the rule against hearsay. During the survey period, the Supreme Court added a third prong to the test for the admission of evidence pursuant to the necessity exception, and thus seemingly narrowed the scope of the exception. However, the court also expanded the circumstances that constitute the "unavailability" of a witness. The net effect seems to be an expansion of the necessity exception.

Legal Ethics, Roy M. Sobelson

Mercer Law Review

This Article covers the rules, cases, ethics opinions, and other matters decided by the Georgia Supreme Court, the Georgia Court of Appeals, and a federal district court between June 1, 1998, and May 31, 1999, that have most affected, or may affect, Georgia lawyers. Many eyepopping headlines about lawyers and their profession filled the survey period. Although very few of the underlying cases made or changed any substantive law, they may well have substantially altered the landscape of lawyering, creating or illuminating various pitfalls and land mines.

One Georgia lawyer, disbarred for murdering his landlord, avoided the death penalty only …

Local Government Law, R. Perry Sentell Jr.

Mercer Law Review

The City Attorney served (in those days) simultaneously as Judge of the Recorder's Court. On convening that court one Monday morning, he was shocked to see one of the community's most prominent citizens before him, charged with "drunk and disorderly."

I inquired as to the type of plea he wished to enter. Evidently having heard of "nolo contendere" but not remembering the exact nature or pronunciation of the plea, the citizen responded: "I would like to plead low profile."

The "law" of local government, both decisional and statutory, frequently fosters a similar sentiment.

Wills, Trusts, And Administration Of Estates, Mary F. Radford

Mercer Law Review

This Article summarizes the major cases and legislative enactments relating to Georgia fiduciary law during the period June 1, 1998 through May 31, 1999. Most of the cases described in this Article were decided under Georgia's Probate Code as it existed prior to the extensive revisions that became effective on January 1, 1998. When appropriate, this Article will discuss briefly how the amendments that appear in the Revised Probate Code of 19981 will affect the issue under discussion.

It's Not Just Hair: Historical And Cultural Considerations For An Emerging Technology, Deborah Pergament

Chicago-Kent Law Review

History reflects the social, religious and political importance of human hair. Individuals have used hairstyles to flaunt social conventions about gender, race, sexual identity, and social status. Totalitarian governments have regulated hairstyles as a means of social control and dehumanization. Today, advances in technology now make it possible to discover information about an individual's current or potential health status. Judicial decisions and administrative regulations offer individuals limited protection from state or institutional intrusion into the information revealed by genetic hair analysis. This Article argues that the explosion of technologies that use hair to reveal intimate details of an individual's biological …
