Bringing In The State: Toward A Constitutional Duty To Protect From Mob Violence, Susan S. Kuo Jan 2004

Bringing In The State: Toward A Constitutional Duty To Protect From Mob Violence, Susan S. Kuo

Faculty Publications

Mob violence can inflict devastating costs. Although typically wrought by private individuals, the incidence of riot as well as extent of riot harm often turn on the adequacy of police preparation and planning. Under the English common law, local governments were responsible for providing riot protection for their denizens. In keeping with the English tradition, early state laws in the United States also provided for communal riot responsibility, and when the states ratified the Fourteenth Amendment, state obligations in the riot context were well-established. Despite the common law underpinnings of the governmental duty to protect citizens from mob violence, however, …

Mimosa 2004, Jacksonville State University Jan 2004

Mimosa 2004, Jacksonville State University

JSU Yearbooks

The JSU Yearbook Collection spans the years from 1926 to the present. The publication began in 1926 as the Teacola (some volumes spelled "Teacoala") and continued under this title through 1933. The yearbook appears to have ceased printing after that year; the student newspaper took the name Teacola (later changed to the Collegian and finally the Chanticleer) and began publication in 1934. The yearbook started up again in 1947 under the name Mimosa. The Library holds all volume years that were printed: 1926-1933, 1947-1950, 1952-present.

Are There Differences In Moral And Social Character Between High School Athletes And Non -Athletes?, Robert Haworth Jan 2004

Are There Differences In Moral And Social Character Between High School Athletes And Non -Athletes?, Robert Haworth

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine if high school team sports athletes, particularly basketball players, support social character over moral character as a result of the way character may be defined and fostered by coaches, parents, society and the media. The research questions guiding this study were as follows: (1) Is there a significant difference in moral character, as measured by the RSBH Value Judgment Inventory, between high school basketball athletes and non-athletes? (2) Is there a significant difference in social character, as measured by RSBH Value Judgment Inventory, between high school basketball athletes and non-athletes? (3) Is …

Imagine Lunch, Susan Grandfield Jan 2004

Imagine Lunch, Susan Grandfield

The Utah English Journal

The high school where I teach houses many vending machines. A vending machine resides in every comer of the school known to me, and I think there are some machines in areas that I don't frequent. It's a big school, after all. Kids can buy candy, hot and spicy chips that tum their tongues red, Pop-Tarts, Pepsi (not Coke, though) and a variety of other so-called foods, none of which have nutritional value. Kids without much money have discovered a machine with a large pastry called a "Big Texas" (as in "I got me my Big Texas") for 65 cents. …

Constitutional Legitimacy And Responsibility: Confronting Allegations Of Bias After Wewaykum Indian Band V. Canada, Adam M. Dodek Jan 2004

Constitutional Legitimacy And Responsibility: Confronting Allegations Of Bias After Wewaykum Indian Band V. Canada, Adam M. Dodek

The Supreme Court Law Review: Osgoode’s Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

This paper reviews the unusual case of Wewaykum Indian Band v. Canada where a motion to vacate the judgment was brought after the Court had rendered a unanimous decision on the merits of the case. It was alleged that a reasonable apprehension of bias existed because of involvement that Justice Binnie (who authored the decision) had with this file while Associate Deputy Minister of Justice of Canada some 15 years earlier. In the first part of the paper, the author reviews the Supreme Court’s decision in Wewaykum, focusing on several key issues in the disqualification motion. In the second part …

Modeling Of Membrane Solute Mass Transfer In Ro/Nf Membrane Systems, Yu Zhao Jan 2004

Modeling Of Membrane Solute Mass Transfer In Ro/Nf Membrane Systems, Yu Zhao

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Five articles describing the impact of surface characteristics, and development of mass transfer models for diffusion controlled membrane applications are published in this dissertation. Article 1 (Chapter 3) describes the impact of membrane surface characteristics and NOM on membrane performance for varying pretreatment and membranes during a field study. Surface charge, hydrophobicity and roughness varied significantly among the four membranes used in the study. Membrane surface characteristics, NOM and SUVA measurements were used to describe mass transfer in a low pressure RO integrated membrane system. Inorganic and organic solute and water mass transfer coefficients were systematically investigated for dependence on …

Biostability In Drinking Water Distribution Systems Study At Pilot-Scale, Michael Le Puil Jan 2004

Biostability In Drinking Water Distribution Systems Study At Pilot-Scale, Michael Le Puil

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Biostability and related issues (e.g. nitrification) were investigated for 18 months in 18 pilot distribution systems, under various water quality scenarios. This study specifically investigated the impact of steady-state water changes on HPC levels in chlorinated and chloraminated distribution systems. Chlorination was more effective than chloramination in reducing HPC levels (1-2 log difference). There was a rapid increase in HPC corresponding to the change in steady-state water quality, which was observed in all PDS. Modeling effort demonstrated that HPC levels reached a maximum within five days after water quality change and return to initial level ten days after the change. …

Bargaining In Two Languages: Conversational Functions Of Transactional Code-Switching, Lotfi Sayahi Jan 2004

Bargaining In Two Languages: Conversational Functions Of Transactional Code-Switching, Lotfi Sayahi

Languages, Literatures and Cultures Faculty Scholarship

Studies on the pragmatic functions of code-switching, in opposition to its macro sociolinguistic significance or syntactic structure, have been largely influenced by Gumperz's pioneering classification presented in the chapter he dedicated to this topic in his 1982 book, Discourse strategies. Many other taxonomies followed Gumperz's initial proposal (Appel and Muysken 1987, Poplack 1988, Romaine 1989, Heller 1992) in spite of the usually claimed difficulty in interpreting and predicting the exact functions of code-switching in any given bilingual context. Their purpose has been to identify the sociopragmatic motivation for the occurrence of a particular code-switched utterance and ultimately classify it under …

Proportionality Between Crimes, Offenses, And Punishments, James Headley Jan 2004

Proportionality Between Crimes, Offenses, And Punishments, James Headley

St. Thomas Law Review

Blackstone said of the Roman Empire, after it embraced unjust laws, "and then the Empire Fell. The United States Supreme Court embraces unjust laws and is inconsistent regarding substantive due process and proportionality in criminal cases, and substantive due process and proportionality in civil cases. The Due Process Clause and the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment require proportionality and fairness, meaning that the punishment must fit the crime, and that the penalty must be appropriate to the offense. Throughout a long history of jurisprudence, the Supreme Court has developed or embraced two varying theories of due process …
