The Law Professor As Populist, Mark A. Graber

University of Richmond Law Review

A new populism is taking root in the strangest soil, American law schools. Tocqueville regarded "the profession of law" as an "aristocratic element," "a sort of privileged body in the scale of intellect." Lawyers, he observed, belonged to "thehighest political class," and routinely developed "some of the tastes and habits of aristocracy." During the 1990s, however, bold challenges to elite rule in the name ofpopular majoritarianism were issued by distinguished professors and chair holders at the most prestigious law schools in the United States. Such leading jurists as Richard Parker, Jack Balkin, Akbil Reed Amar, Sanford Levinson, and Mark Tushnet …

Trial Participants In The Newsgathering Process, C. Thomas Dienes

University of Richmond Law Review

The 1990s produced a number of sensational criminal and civil trials. The media and public avidly followed the murder trials of O.J. Simpson and the Menendez brothers, the Oklahoma City bombing trials of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, and the trial of those charged in the World Trade Center bombing. Civil trials involving products liability, medical malpractice, environmental pollution; the civil trial of O.J. Simpson; Paula Jones's sexual harassment action against President Clinton; and the notorious antitrust case against Microsoft similarly captured the public's attention. Also, as might be expected, trial judges and the legal system generally grappled with questions …

Protect The Press: A First Amendment Standard For Safeguarding Aggressive Newsgathering, Erwin Chemerinsky

University of Richmond Law Review

Few occu.pations or professions rank lower than reporters in public esteem. In July 1999, Justice Stephen Breyer participated as a panelist at the Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference and was challenged by Associated Press reporter Linda Deutsch about the absence of cameras in the Supreme Court. Justice Breyer explained that the Court did not want to risk its relatively high level of public esteem by placing itself on television. Justice Breyer noted the lack of respect for the media and said that the Court did not want to see its esteem ratings lowered to that of the press.

Ride-Alongs, Paparazzi, And Other Media Threats To Privacy, Robert M. O'Neil

University of Richmond Law Review

When the Supreme Court first addressed the status of "ride- alongs" in late May of this year, the role of the news media could have been treated in any of several ways. The law enforcement officers, who were sued for invasion of privacy because they invited reporters to accompany them while serving an arrest warrant in a private home, offered several extenuations. The presence of journalists, they argued, would provide direct information to the general public about important news events. Moreover, reporters who took part in the arrest could, in a sense, keep the police honest, or at least make …

The Challenges Of Opera Direction, Dean Frederick Lundquist

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

The Challenges of Opera Direction is an investigation of the art of the opera stage director. In addition to a brief history of opera, the investigation includes opinions of leading international directors. Furthermore it details directing techniques and examples gleaned from the direction of Mozart's The Impresario (Der Shauspieldirektor) and Donizetti's The Elixir of Love (L'elisir d'amore) both at UNLV and an assistant directing internship with Seattle Opera's production of Delibes's Lakme. Also included are chapters on the art of collaborating with conductors, designers and performers.

The Dynamics Of Faith-Based Organizations And Their Effects On Educational Standardization, Patricia Gail Haase

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Remnants of Christian tradition exist in American culture although we live in a pluralistic society. Faith-based schools seek to restore elements of the Christian tradition, believing those values essential for their children. Some in the greater community look to such schools for elements and practices to translate and apply into the greater systems; Private faith-based education is considered overall successful, but there are problems that warrant discussion. Most of the dynamics are typical of all organizations, but perhaps not expected because of the moral representation. Others dynamics are unique or exaggerated in faith-based organizations; Non-profit organizations, including faith-based, exist to …

Be An American Reconstructioneer Of Culture, John Sikula

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

In this presentation the author argues that improvement in schooling and teacher education in the United States will be successful to the extent that educators establish via research and practice and make known to the public and to budget controlling authorities the clear relationships which exist between investment in education and productive citizenship. Until educators become more proactive, demanding, political, and willing to serve as American Reconstructioneers of Culture (ARCs), our educational institutions will continue to drift with a tide of mediocrity as resources flow to other more viable and vocal areas.

The Evolution Of Hot Spots In The U.S. Biotechnology Industry, Timothy B. Folta, Yoon-Suk Baik

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

This study empirically tests Pouder & St. John's propositions (1996) on the evolutions of geographic clusters, in the context of the U.S. biotechnology industry. We find that during the origination period of the cluster evolution clustered biotechnology firms exhibit higher cost economies and legitimacy in obtaining resources than non-clustered competitors. While, after the early period, such clustered firms' advantage in resource access and innovations are statistically significantly declining. These findings evidence the decline of positive net benefits from geographic clustering over time. Given the inconsistent empirical results in the literature on whether there are positive net benefits to geographically clustered …

A Real-Time Sitting Posture Tracking System, Lynne A. Slivovsky, Hong Z. Tan

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

As cornputing becomes more ubiquitous, there is a need for distributed intelligent humancomputer interfaces that can perceive and interpret a user's actions through sensors that see, hear and feel. A perceptually intelligent interface enables a more natural interaction between a user ancl a machine in the sense that the user can look at, talk to or touch an object instead of using a, machine language. Although research on haptic (i.e., touch-based) interfaces has received less attention in the past as compared to that on visual and auditory interfaces, it is emerging as a new interdisciplinary field that holds much promise …

Transgenic Avidin Maize Is Resistant To Storage Insect Pests, Karl J. Kramer, Thomas D. Morgan, James E. Throne, Floyd E. Dowell, Michele Bailey, John A. Howard

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Avidin is a glycoprotein found in chicken egg white, that sequesters the vitamin biotin. Here we show that when present in maize at levels of ≥100 p.p.m., avidin is toxic to and prevents development of insects that damage grains during storage. Insect toxicity is caused by a biotin deficiency, as shown by prevention of toxicity with biotin supplementation. The avidin maize is not, however, toxic to mice when administered as the sole component of their diet for 21 days. These data suggest that avidin expression in food or feed grain crops can be used as a biopesticide against a spectrum …

An Investigation Of Postmodern Influences In Advertising, Rose Leahy

Theses

This study investigates the influences of postmodernism in advertising. The postmodern culture is characterised by irony, paradox, playfulness and anarchy. Consequently advertisements that are influenced by postmodernism embrace the unusual, the unconventional, the abstract and the ambiguous. This thesis set out to determine if there is a consensus among advertisers as to the meaning of postmodernism, to identify the reasons for the evolution of postmodern advertising and to assess its effectiveness and future potential.

Indications of the impact of postmodern advertising can be derived through qualitative methods, but quantitative methods can also be employed. Primary research was undertaken in the …
