Children's Literature And Environmental Issues: Heart Over Mind?, Rebecca Monhardt, Leigh Monhardt

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

This article describes a project conducted by a classroom teacher to examine the effects of children's literature on students' existing attitudes and beliefs toward environmental issues. Using There's an Owl in the Shower by Jean Craighead George as an organizer, two sixth grade classes reexamined their existing beliefs about endangered species. The purpose of using the book as part of the instructional strategy was not to influence student beliefs and attitudes one way or another, but to serve as a vehicle for getting students to critically view the issue of animal's vs. people's rights. The results from this classroom activity …

Roles Of Hof1p, Bni1p, Bnr1p, And Myo1p In Cytokinesis In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Elizabeth Ann Vallen, J. Caviston, E. Bi

Biology Faculty Works

Cytokinesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae occurs by the concerted action of the actomyosin system and septum formation. Here we report on the roles of HOF1,BNI1, and BNR1 in cytokinesis, focusing on Hof1p. Deletion of HOF1 causes a temperature-sensitive defect in septum formation. A Hof1p ring forms on the mother side of the bud neck in G2/M, followed by the formation of a daughter-side ring. Around telophase, Hof1p is phosphorylated and the double rings merge into a single ring that contracts slightly and may colocalize with the actomyosin structure. Upon septum formation, Hof1p splits into two rings, disappearing upon cell separation. Hof1p …

Federal Jurisdiction Over State Claims To Shipwrecks: Should The Eleventh Amendment Go Down With The Ship?, Mark R. Baumgartner

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

The Eleventh Amendment prohibits citizens from bringing actions in law or equity against individual states in federal courts. The Amendment does not address whether states are subject to federal jurisdiction for actions in admiralty in which both a shipwreck salvor and a state claim title to a shipwreck Analyzing applicable admiralty, federal, and common law in the context of Eleventh Amendment jurisprudence, this Note examines whether the states are subject to pure admiralty actions in federal court by citizen-salvors seeking either title to or reward for salvaging a shipwreck. The original intentions of admiralty law: rewarding salvors for their efforts, …

Two Degrees Of Speech Protection: Free Speech Through The Prism Of Agricultural Disparagement Laws, Harold M. Wasserman

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

In the wake of a 1989 national television broadcast reporting the alleged cancer risk of a chemical applied to apples on trees, many states passed agricultural product disparagement (APD) statutes. These statutes grant civil causes of action to the growers and sellers of perishable food products, against anyone who speaks negatively or disparagingly, without basis in scientific evidence, about the product's safety. In this Article, Howard M Wasserman explores the interplay between the APD statutes and the First Amendment. First, Mr. Wasserman discusses the three categories of restrictions on the freedom of speech, focusing primarily on private civil tort actions …

The Japanese Firearm And Sword Possession Control Law: Translator's Introduction, Mark Alleman

Washington International Law Journal

Japan's Firearm and Sword Possession Control Law was amended in 1993 and again in 1995, partially in response to changing firearms confiscation demographics. In the past, most firearms were confiscated from members of organized crime groups, and the Japanese viewed firearms largely as a danger related to organized crime. However, confiscation statistics suggest that firearms are moving into the hands of the general population, increasing the risk firearms pose to public safety in Japan. In response to this trend, Japan amended the Firearm and Sword Possession Control Law in 1993 and 1995 by adding add new crimes, more severe punishments, …
