The Anchor, Volume 122.05: October 1, 2008, Hope College

The Anchor: 2008

The Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff. For much of The Anchor's history, the latest issue was distributed across campus each Wednesday throughout the academic school year (with few exceptions). In recent years The Anchor moved to monthly print issues and a more frequently updated website. The Anchor is now published in print twice per academic semester. Occasionally, the volume and/or issue numbering is irregular.

Risky Business: Popular Images And Reality Of Capital Markets Handling Risk-From The Tulip Craze To The Decade Of Greed, Christian C. Day Oct 2008

Risky Business: Popular Images And Reality Of Capital Markets Handling Risk-From The Tulip Craze To The Decade Of Greed, Christian C. Day

Dickinson Law Review (1908-2003)

Speculators are often portrayed in popular culture as predatory businesspeople. Sometimes they are seen as fools. But, the portraits are often ill-informed. This article studies speculation found in Tulip Mania and the South Sea Bubble. The article then focuses on speculation in debt from the American Revolution. The Gilded Age and railroad building are surveyed. The article concludes with the Decade of Greed, the 1980s, as envisioned in film. While popular portraits are entertaining, the historic and economic reality is much different. Speculators play an important role providing capital and liquidity, risk taking, and rationing of resources critical for market …

The Asian Red Seaweed Grateloupia Turuturu (Rhodophyta) Invades The Gulf Of Maine, Arthur C. Mathieson, Clinton J. Dawes, Judith Pederson, Rebecca A. Gladych, James T. Carlton Oct 2008

The Asian Red Seaweed Grateloupia Turuturu (Rhodophyta) Invades The Gulf Of Maine, Arthur C. Mathieson, Clinton J. Dawes, Judith Pederson, Rebecca A. Gladych, James T. Carlton

New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station Publications

We report the invasion of the Gulf of Maine, in the northwest Atlantic Ocean, by the largest red seaweed in the world, the Asian Grateloupia turuturu. First detected in 1994 in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, south of Cape Cod, this alga had expanded its range in the following years only over to Long Island and into Long Island Sound. In July 2007 we found Grateloupia in the Cape Cod Canal and as far north (east) as Boston, Massachusetts, establishing its presence in the Gulf of Maine. Grateloupia can be invasive and may be capable of disrupting low intertidal and shallow …

Online Education – Roles And Responsibilities Of Key Stakeholders, Jane Whitney Gibson, Susan Colaric, Bahaudin G. Mujtaba, Dana V. Tesone, Regina A. Greenwood

HCBE Faculty Presentations

This symposium consists of presentations by four online course developers and faculty who have taught many graduate and undergraduate online classes in business and management since the mid 90s. They are fully cognizant of the complexity of the online learning community and present their observations on the roles and responsibilities of four key stakeholders in online education, i.e., administration, faculty, course developers and students.

Immigration, The University, And The Tolerant Second-Tier City, Margaret Walton-Roberts Oct 2008

Immigration, The University, And The Tolerant Second-Tier City, Margaret Walton-Roberts

International Migration Research Centre

Background
The ongoing geographical shift in immigrant settlement patterns and the related settlement experiences of immigrants outside of the largest national cities continues to be of interest to policy makers, practitioners, and researchers alike. This paper explores recent immigration to Kitchener- Waterloo (K-W), a second-tier city (STC) in Ontario, through the conceptual lens of the creative community and the role of the university.

Purpose
Qualitative research on immigrant settlement in Kitchener-Waterloo (K-W), Ontario has revealed the important role played by the region’s universities in attracting immigrants, but also in creating the feeling of a safe and welcoming space. This paper …

On Representations Of Quantum Groups Uq(Fm(K,H)), Xin Tang, Yunge Xu Oct 2008

On Representations Of Quantum Groups Uq(Fm(K,H)), Xin Tang, Yunge Xu

College of Health, Science, and Technology

We construct families of irreducible representations for a class of quantum groups Uq(fm(K,H). First, we realize these quantum groups as hyperbolic algebras. Such a realization yields natural families of irreducible weight representations for Uq(fm(K,H)). Second, we study the relationship between Uq(fm(K,H)) and Uq(fm(K)). As a result, any finite-dimensional weight representation of Uq(fm(K,H)) is proved to be completely reducible. Finally, we study the Whittaker model for the center of U q(fm(K,H)), and a classification of all irreducible Whittaker representations of Uq(fm(K,H)) is obtained. © 2008 Australian Mathematical Society.
