Barbie Banished From The Small Screen: The Proposed European Ban On Children's Television Advertising, Janice H. Kang Jan 2001

Barbie Banished From The Small Screen: The Proposed European Ban On Children's Television Advertising, Janice H. Kang

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This Comment first presents a brief history of European policy governing children's television advertising in Europe and lists the current regula-tions in the various EU member states, ranging from Britain's deferential guidelines to Sweden's draconian stance. The next two sections examine arguments both for and against the ban. Impassioned consumer advocates decry television advertising to children as preying upon young impressionable minds; indignant industry groups marshal arguments such as the increasing sophistication of children and the freedom of commercial speech. Finally, after forecasting a doubtful future for the proposed absolute ban on children's television across Europe, this Comment concludes that …

Securities Price Risks And Financial Derivative Markets , Peter H. Huang Jan 2001

Securities Price Risks And Financial Derivative Markets , Peter H. Huang

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The financial and popular media report almost daily on the volatility of securities market prices. Yet, many people continue to buy securities to hedge against or speculate on certain risks. People can also buy or sell derivatives to hedge against or speculate on fluctuations in securities prices. This Article discusses three regulatory policy implications of utilizing derivatives markets to reallocate the bearing of securities price risks. First, if there are too few non-redundant derivative markets, a competitive market equilibrium allocation of securities price risks is typically constrained Pareto inefficient. This financial economic result means that for typical economies, a regulator …

Historical Fabrications On The Internet: Recognition, Evaluation, And Use In Bibliographic Instruction, John A. Drobnicki, Richard Asaro Jan 2001

Historical Fabrications On The Internet: Recognition, Evaluation, And Use In Bibliographic Instruction, John A. Drobnicki, Richard Asaro

Publications and Research

Although the Internet provides access to a wealth of information, there is little, if any, control over the quality of that information. Side-by-side with reliable information, one finds disinformation, misinformation, and hoaxes. The authors of this paper discuss numerous examples of fabricated historical information on the Internet (ranging from denials of the Holocaust to personal vendettas), offer suggestions on how to evaluate websites, and argue that these fabrications can be incorporated into bibliographic instruction classes.

Design And Applications Of Volume Holographic Optical Elements, Steven C. Dunn Jan 2001

Design And Applications Of Volume Holographic Optical Elements, Steven C. Dunn

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Volume gratings were studied both theoretically and experimentally in order to design and analyze practical volume holographic optical elements. The diffraction of finite (Gaussian) beams by transmission gratings is investigated. A closed form solution for the off-Bragg profiles is obtained, and the distortion in the resulting profiles is analyzed. Criteria for when the finiteness of the beam has a minimal effect on the angular selectivity response are given. A model is developed to investigate the cross talk in multiplexed gratings Experimental verification in LiNb03 and PTR glass is demonstrated. The diffraction efficiency and output profiles of finite beams diffracted …

Building A Strong Subnational Debt Market, Paul S. Maco Jan 2001

Building A Strong Subnational Debt Market, Paul S. Maco

Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business

Decentralization of responsibility for finance and growing infrastructure needs are two trends that are expected to stimulate a growth in government borrowing at the sub-national level. Statistics for the first half of 2000 show a significant increase in sub-national debt volume, with global public finance, excluding Canada and the United States, more than doubling that of the first half of 1999.

Luis Goytisolo Beyond "Antagonía": His Search For Agency In Democratic Spain, Terri Carney Jan 2001

Luis Goytisolo Beyond "Antagonía": His Search For Agency In Democratic Spain, Terri Carney

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

Since his monumentally successful tetralogy, Antagonía, Luis Goytisolo has adapted his literary style to survive the changes in both the publishing world and the greater cultural context of post-Franco Spain. Indeed, his post-Antagonía novels can be divided into two phases: the structurally complex novels of the 1980s, and the more readable novels of the 1990s. Although these two groups of novels differ stylistically, they both form part of Goytisolo's ongoing critique of Western man's investment in subjectivity as either a controlling, self-governed force or a controlled subject, both of which occlude a viable notion of human agency. My study …

The Political Katherine Mansfield, Lee Garver Jan 2001

The Political Katherine Mansfield, Lee Garver

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

Ideologies that have been superseded by more enduring political discourses and literary figures who have been succeeded by greater authors are frequently relegated to the footnotes of cultural scholarship. But sometimes these lesser-known subjects of literary history, properly attended to, provide unique opportunities for a richer understanding of aesthetic developments. The study of British modernism, in particular, can benefit from a willingness to examine forgotten political-cultural relationships. Indeed, the period's extreme ideological complexity and cross-fertilization has served to mask the important political roles played by less celebrated artists in the formulation of modernist aesthetic doctrine. This is particularly true of …

Trade Secrets, The First Amendment And The Challenges Of The Internet Age, David Greene Jan 2001

Trade Secrets, The First Amendment And The Challenges Of The Internet Age, David Greene

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

Trade secret owners often come into conflict with the First Amendment rights of free speech and free press when they seek to restrict the publication of their trade secrets by others. Although the Uniform Trade Secrets Act provides some remedies for the unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets, First Amendment principles can make it difficult for trade secret owners to obtain such relief, especially when the publisher of the trade secret owes no duty of confidentiality to its rightful owner. Some trade secret owners have argued that trade secrets should be immune from First Amendment scrutiny, but there is no historical …

Year Of The Living Dead: California Breathes New Life Into Celebrity Publicity Rights, Rhett H. Laurens Jan 2001

Year Of The Living Dead: California Breathes New Life Into Celebrity Publicity Rights, Rhett H. Laurens

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

The use of images of deceased actors in film has become increasingly controversial in recent years. Advances in digital imaging technology have made it possible to manipulate these images to such an extent that it will soon be feasible to produce films in which they play leading roles. The lack of legal protections available to the deceased actors' heirs, who want the rights to control the use of the actors' images for both creative and economic reasons, prompted Fred Astaire's widow and other Hollywood celebrities to push for passage of the Astaire Celebrity Image Protection Act. Signed into law in …
