Federal Forfeiture: Law, Policy And Practice, Greg Warchol, Dennis Payne, Brian Johnson Apr 2014

Federal Forfeiture: Law, Policy And Practice, Greg Warchol, Dennis Payne, Brian Johnson

Greg Warchol

The purpose of this research is to first describe the origins and current state of federal asset forfeiture law, then examine of how property seized under the forfeiture laws for drug law violations is proceeded against by the federal government. The methodology, which is primarily exploratory, utilizes both qualitative and quantitative data. A sample of over 6000 federal administrative and judicial drug forfeiture cases are described and analyzed to construct a profile of the federal government's use of this policy. Findings raise questions about the use of forfeiture and the government's intent. Implications and suggestions for future research are included.

Scintillation Model For A Satellite Communication Link At Large Zenith Angles, Larry C. Andrews, Ronald L. Phillips, Cynthia Young Hopen Dec 1999

Scintillation Model For A Satellite Communication Link At Large Zenith Angles, Larry C. Andrews, Ronald L. Phillips, Cynthia Young Hopen

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

A scintillation model is developed for uplink-downlink optical communication channels applicable in moderate to strong fluctuation conditions that may arise under large zenith angles between transmitter and receiver. The model developed here is an extension of a recently published theory that treats irradiance fluctuations along a horizontal path as a modulation of small-scale scintillation by large-scale scintillation. For a downlink path the scintillation index is modeled like that of an infinite plane wave, and for an uplink path we consider a spherical wave model. In both cases the scintillation index agrees with conventional weak-fluctuation-theory results out to zenith angles of …

Relative Abundance Of Postlarval And Juvenile Penaeid Shrimps In Submerged Aquatic Vegetation And Emergent Marsh Habitats, Jeffrey C. Howe, Richard K. Wallace

Gulf of Mexico Science

Postlarval and juvenile densities of Farfantepenaeus aztecus, Farfantepenaeus duorarum, and Litopenaeus setiferus were compared among emergent marsh (Spartina alterniflora), submerged aquatic vegetation (Ruppia maritima), and adjacent unvegetated areas at the east end of Fowl River along Mobile Bay, AL. A total of 108 samples were collected between July 1994 and Nov. 1995, of which 76 samples contained at least one of the three penaeid species. Of the 507 penaeid shrimp collected, 303 (60%) were collected in the R. maritima beds, 152 (30%) in the S. alterniflora, and 52 (10%) in the sand/mud habitat. …

Zoning Ordinances And "Free Speech", Alan C. Weinstein Dec 1999

Zoning Ordinances And "Free Speech", Alan C. Weinstein

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

Over the past two decades there has been a marked expansion in legal challenges to local land use regulations claiming violations of the free speech clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. First Amendment claims can arise whenever government enacts or enforces zoning or other regulations that deal with uses such as billboards or adult entertainment businesses. This article discusses why this litigation is taking place, provides an overview of First Amendment law, and offers local officials some guidelines to help avoid potential legal challenges.

Behavior Of Gamma Tial Subjected To Impact Damage And Elevated Temperature Fatigue, Trevor S. Harding, J. Wayne Jones Dec 1999

Behavior Of Gamma Tial Subjected To Impact Damage And Elevated Temperature Fatigue, Trevor S. Harding, J. Wayne Jones

Materials Engineering

Gamma titanium aluminide has received significant attention in recent years as a candidate material for use in aerospace and industrial gas turbine engine applications. In particular, these materials offer significant weight reductions (densities are less than half that of nickel-based superalloys), high specific strength retention at elevated temperature and high specific stiffness which is particularly important in vibrating components such as blades. This combination of weight savings and good mechanical properties has led to the possibility that γ-TiAl may be a suitable replacement for nickel-based alloys, such as Inconel 718, in low pressure turbine blades without significant redesign of the …

The Geography Of New Manufacturing Technology: Implications For The Nonmetropolitan South, David A. Mcgranahan Dec 1999

The Geography Of New Manufacturing Technology: Implications For The Nonmetropolitan South, David A. Mcgranahan

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Despite the growth in services, manufacturing remains an essential part of the nonmetropolitan South's economy, responsible for 25 percent of total personal earnings. But low-education nonmetropolitan areas, which gained more than their share of manufacturing jobs in the 1970s and 1980s, lost jobs in the 1990s. Their manufacturing base is threatened not only by low-wage competition from abroad, but also by the spread of new technologies, which is raising the demand for production worker skills. Data from the Economic Research Service Rural Manufacturing Survey (RMS) show that labor quality is a central problem for adopters, particularly in low-education areas. The …

Spatial Labor Markets, New Economic Geography, And Urban-Rural Linkages: Implications For The Rural South, Mark S. Henry Dec 1999

Spatial Labor Markets, New Economic Geography, And Urban-Rural Linkages: Implications For The Rural South, Mark S. Henry

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

To reach the levels of prosperity in the urban South, rural leaders have a three-fold challenge: to improve human capital, to improve local amenities, and to identify the niche of rural communities in the new economic regions of the South, in other words, spatial labor markets will play a key role. The article first reviews key problems facing rural communities in the South that are likely to cause rural earnings-per-worker and employment opportunities to lag behind those in urban centers. Next, examples are given of the types of empirical and conceptual work needed to examine the role that space plays …

What Does The Future Hold? What Globalization Might Mean For The Rural South, Amy K. Glasmeier, Robin M. Leichenko Dec 1999

What Does The Future Hold? What Globalization Might Mean For The Rural South, Amy K. Glasmeier, Robin M. Leichenko

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

This paper considers the implications of economic globalization for rural communities in the U.S. South. Despite significant gains in average incomes and educational attainment in the South over the past 30 years, the paper finds that the rural South's longstanding reputation as the nation's low-wage, low-skilled region remains largely intact. In particular, manufacturing wages in the rural South have remained stagnant relative to the rest of the United States. Furthermore, as dominant sectors such as textiles and apparel continue to experience price competition and international pressure, there will likely be additional downward pressure on wages in low-skill southern industries, and …

Functional Skill Requirements Of Manufacturing Employment In The Rural South, Timothy R. Wojan Dec 1999

Functional Skill Requirements Of Manufacturing Employment In The Rural South, Timothy R. Wojan

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

This analysis compares the functional skill requirements of manufacturing employment in rural and urban areas of six Southern states. The General Educational Development-Reasoning Scale provides information on the cognitive requirements of various work tasks while Specific Vocational Preparation provides information on the time of training needed for average performance in a job. The analysis identifies three distinct patterns of comparative skill requirements. Traditional Rural Production is characterized by substantial low-skill employment in both rural and urban areas-the modest number of high-skilled workers are found predominantly in urban areas. Spatial Division of Labor Production is characterized by a large share of …

Service Industries And Employment Growth In The Nonmetro South: A Geographical Perspective, William B. Beyers, Peter B. Nelson Dec 1999

Service Industries And Employment Growth In The Nonmetro South: A Geographical Perspective, William B. Beyers, Peter B. Nelson

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Service employment has grown rapidly in the nonmetro South in recent years, accounting for 87 percent of overall job growth in the 1985-1995 time period. This pace has been sustained in nonmetro areas that are adjacent to metro areas, as well as in more remote nonmetro areas that are not adjacent to metro areas. Retail, health, and producer services account for the largest share of service employment growth. In contrast to the United States as a whole, which experienced declines in manufacturing employment, the nonmetro South has had increases in manufacturing employment. This growth of manufacturing has stimulated the local …

Industry Clusters And Rural Labor Markets, G. Andrew Bernat Jr. Dec 1999

Industry Clusters And Rural Labor Markets, G. Andrew Bernat Jr.

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Along with the recent resurgence of interest in the agglomeration and clustering of economic activity, there has been increasing interest in industry clusters as a potential economic development strategy. Ultimately, the question of whether or not clusters are an appropriate focus of economic development strategies for rural areas depends on the relationship between clusters and local economic growth. The primary purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the issues involved in measuring the relationship between clusters and rural economic growth. Preliminary evidence of a positive association between industry clusters and rural earnings growth are presented, supporting the notion …

Employment Change In The Nonmetropolitan South: An Overview Of Recent Trends And Future Prospects, David L. Barkley Dec 1999

Employment Change In The Nonmetropolitan South: An Overview Of Recent Trends And Future Prospects, David L. Barkley

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Employment growth in the nonmetropolitan South exceeds the national average, yet job losses are the norm for many counties in the region. In addition, the earnings per job differential between workers in the rural South and the nation has widened. Recent changes in the economic environment promise new challenges for many southern nonmetropolitan communities. The new economy is characterized by continued growth in service-reIated activities, the rapid adoption of new technologies and production organizations. corporate restructuring and industry clustering, and enhanced competitiveness resulting from globalization of markets. The implications of these changes for labor demand in rural areas will vary …
