Summaries Of Arkansas Cotton Research 2002, Derrick M. Oosterhuis

Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Series

The average yield in Arkansas in 2002 was 871 lb lint/acre from 920,000 harvested acres (960,000 planted) for a total of 1.67 million bales at a value of$336.5 million. This yield was second only to the record 877 lb lint/acre achieved in 1994. Last year's crop yield, and the five-year average, on a per acre basis are exceeded in the U.S. Cotton Belt only by California and Arizona. Cotton yields in Arkansas increased steadily during the eighties, but in the last decade yields have leveled off. Furthermore, the last five years have had extreme year-to-year variability in yields, which is …

School of Geosciences Faculty and Staff Publications

The shallow seismogenic portion of subduction zones generates damaging large and great earthquakes. This study provides structural constraints on the seismogenic zone of the Middle America Trench offshore central Costa Rica and insights into the physical and mechanical characteristics controlling seismogenesis. We have located ∼300 events that occurred following the M_W 6.9, 20 August 1999, Quepos, Costa Rica, underthrusting earthquake using a three-dimensional velocity model and arrival time data recorded by a temporary local network of land and ocean bottom seismometers. We use aftershock locations to define the geometry and characteristics of the seismogenic zone in this region. These …

Parenting From Prison: What Can Extension Educators Do?, Jackie L. Reilly

Journal of Extension

The number of children affected by parental incarceration has increased drastically in the last decade. Many incarcerated parents want to be good parents, and, while in prison, they can improve on their parenting skills and maintain or strengthen their relationships with their children. Extension parent educators can teach parenting skills and present ideas for staying connected while in prison. Since 1997, 139 mothers and 68 fathers have taken the Parenting From Prison class. Activities used in the class are described as well as considerations for modifying existing parenting curricula to fit the needs of incarcerated parents.

Transformative Explanations: Writing To Overcome Counterintuitive Ideas, Joye C. Gordon

Journal of Extension

This article presents a five-step writing tool, called "transformative explanation," that provides a proven mechanism to promote acceptance of hard-to-understand concepts. When Extension messages present counterintuitive information, message consumers are psychologically motivated to reject the proposition and retain previous understandings. Because gaining perceptual compliance is often a prerequisite to other communication objectives, transformative explanations provide an important tool for message designers.

The Community Activeness--Consciousness Matrix, Gene L. Theodori

Journal of Extension

The article presents one generalization about rural communities and then describes a tool that Extension faculty might find useful when delivering community development-related programs.

A Simple Method To Determine Consumer Preference, Jo Ann Robbins

Journal of Extension

Statistically significant consumer preference determinations are possible by Extension personnel in the field using available clientele and without complicated statistical analysis. Clientele such as shoppers at farmers' markets can provide ratings for sensory attributes such as look, feel, taste, or smell of a particular treatment. The statistical analysis used involves comparing the rank means of the raw rating data. This procedure factors out consumer variation. The example given uses SAS to complete the analysis.

Like Oil And Water: The Wto And The World's Water Resources, Rona Nardone

Connecticut Journal of International Law

It has been predicted that by 2025, two-thirds of the world's population will not have sufficient access to fresh drinking water to meet their basic needs.' Pollution, global climate change, unsustainable use, and a burgeoning worldwide population have compromised the security of existing water resources.2 Scarcity and inaccessibility are not merely specters of the future. Presently, 1.1 billion people lack clean drinking water, 2.4 billion are without water sanitation services,' and water shortages currently plague 450 million people in 29 countries.' In August of 2002, delegates to the United Nations Summit on Sustainable Development pledged to reduce the number of …

Rights Under Fire: The Inadequacy Of International Human Rights Instruments In Combating Dowry Murder In India, Meghana Shah

Connecticut Journal of International Law

When Sunita Vir married in 1991, her father, Kalam Singh, spent over $5,000 on her dowry, which consisted of cash, steel trunks, cupboards, a sewing machine, kitchen utensils, and most importantly, a black-and-white television set, a most coveted possession among India's lower-middle class families.' Still, the elaborate dowry was not enough for Sunita's new in-laws.' Less than two weeks after the marriage, Sunita's husband and in-laws began demanding more dowry from Sunita's family, specifically in the form of a new refrigerator. Sunita's parents could not provide the additional goods, having already acquired a large amount of debt to supply the …

Status Of Taliban And Al Qaeda Soldiers: Another Viewpoint, Lawrence Azubuike

Connecticut Journal of International Law

September 11, 2001 has become a milestone in the annals of history. International law, especially on the use of force and laws of armed conflict, is now discussed with reference to the state of the law before and after that date. One of the quagmires which the events of that day thrust upon international law is how to categorize those involved in the armed conflict that directly resulted from the terrorist attacks. Conventional wisdom holds that Taliban soldiers can be treated as prisoners of war (POWs), while Al Qaeda soldiers cannot. The attitude of the United States has been a …

A Body Of Her Own: Cultural Constructions Of The Female Body In A.S. Byatt's Strange Stories, Sabine Coelsch-Foisner

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

[First paragraph]

Byatt's short fiction, from her first collection Sugar and Other Stories (1987) to Elementals (1998) is marked by a continuous preoccupation with the body: the body as the product of social signifying practices, the body as the site of desires, fears, and anxieties, the body as the source of experience, the body as creator and created. In brief, the body is treated as the centre of existence, consciousness and identity. Yet, these are constantly called into doubt in Byatt's stories, which depict heroines trapped between asserting their identity and submitting to cultural dictates of beauty and behavior. In …

The Ethical Obligation Of Transactional Lawyer To Act As Gatekeepers, Rutheford B. Campbell Jr., Eugene R. Gaetke

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

Recent examples of managerial misconduct at major corporations have called into question the adequacy of the gatekeeper role provided by transactional lawyers representing corporations. That role is governed by Model Rule 1.13(b), which obligates the lawyer for a corporation to take remedial action if the lawyer knows that corporate managers are engaged in actions that amount to a "violation of a legal obligation" to the corporation or that are unlawful and likely to result in substantial injury to the corporation. In addition, Model Rule 1.2(d) forbids a lawyer from lending assistance to any action by corporate managers "that the lawyer …
