Freedom Of Speech And Press: A Casebook For Undergraduates, Frank Harrison

Political Science Faculty Research

This book is the product of two semesters of academic leave, in the Fall of 1998 and 2005, for which I am grateful to Trinity University. Substantively, it is in (almost) final form but even the most casual reader will notice that it needs extensive editing, mainly of formatting, consistency of style and, to some extent, spelling and grammar. A few cases also need a "headnote" and/or some "Comments and Queries." More importantly, the second half of the text might be reorganized to place greater emphasis on more current issues involving competition between constitutional rights. My syllabus for "Freedom II," …

Completing The Connection: Achieving Universal Service Through Municipal Wi-Fi, K. Joon Oh

Duke Law & Technology Review

The federal universal service scheme is designed to ensure that everyone has affordable access to advanced telecommunications and information services. Despite the development of cost-effective technologies that drastically reduce the cost of telephone services vis-à-vis the Internet and Wi-Fi networks, federal regulations generally prevent municipalities or private companies from providing wireless Internet access with universal service funds. Federal regulations have replaced technology costs, lack of business incentives, and consumer affordability as the primary barrier to universal service. Competitive neutrality, the pro-competitive and technology-neutral approach to universal service funding, must be fully embraced in order to empower local communities with the …

Cuba, Bush, The Ibaf, And The Wbc, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It seemed like such a good idea, one whose time had finally come. Then in one sweeping ruling the Bush Administration dealt what could be a fatal blow to another of Bud Selig's dreams. The World Baseball Classic scheduled for March may well end in a shambles. Only a nod from the man who once seemed destined to be Commissioner of Baseball can save Selig's dream. One can only wonder what would have happened if George Bush had become Commissioner of Baseball. The implications for baseball and the world are mind-boggling.

Reform In Lieu Of Change: Tastes Great, Less Filling, Jonathan G.S. Koppell

Publications from President Jonathan G.S. Koppell

In this response to Light, Koppell argues that the increasing frequency of reform may reflect Congress's inability to make significant changes to the substance of entrenched government programs. Moreover, he observes that the more profound evolution in government has been the movement toward the market-based provision of services, which has created a demand for new competencies in the public sector.

Transforming Teachers Into Teacher Researchers: How To Become Information Literate Teacher Researchers And Model Information Literacy For Student Researchers, Susan Kendall, Mary Nino, Lorene Sisson

Faculty and Staff Publications

Information literacy is one of the major areas emphasized by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). According to NCATE, all candidates in school settings must be able to systematically integrate information literacy in Pre-K and K-12 school curriculum to assist student learning. The 21st century requires information literate teacher-researchers who are capable of meeting the standards set by the professional organizations such as (NCATE), the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) and the American Association of School Librarians (AASL). Teaching is no longer finite knowledge distributed by the teacher and returned upon demand. Critical thinking, …

Revisiting The Elitist Economy Of Pakistan, Ishrat Husain Dr.

Faculty Research - Newspaper and Magazine Articles

Several observers and media persons have asked me to update on the latest assessment of my thesis propounded in the book " Pakistan : The Economy of an elitist state. " They are interested in exploring the question whether the polices and programs pursued during the last six years have made any dent on the elitist model of the economy that I had put forward in February, 1999 or not.

As I was one of the players involved in the economic management of the country it is natural that my perspective would be highly subjective. But it is equally incumbent …

Combating Money Laundering, Paul R. Rickert

Options For The E-Reference Collection, Sue Polanka

University Libraries' Staff Publications

The electronic reference book revolution is in full swing, and nearly every reference book publisher is on board with the latest titles and interfaces for searching and retrieving top-notch scholarly resources. But which product will best suit your library? Which product has the best access and search features? And what about price-should you look for ownership or a subscription service? To assist with the reference e-book dilemma, this article examines five major electronic reference book products-ABC-CLlO's History Reference Online, Gale Virtual Reference Library, Greenwood Digital Collection, Oxford Reference Online, and Xreferplus-and compares them for content, search capabilities, interface, special features, …

City Council Members And The Representation Funtion In Intergovernmental Decision Making, Eric Zeemering

Working Group on Interlocal Services Cooperation

Local elected officials provide a representation function for their constituents, expressing citizen preferences for public goods and services and integrating public preferences into government decisions about how to provide and produce public goods and services. In an increasingly networked world, the provision and production of public goods and services frequently occurs through intergovernmental collaboration and inter-local agreements. Public administrators are often viewed as the primary actors in forming intergovernmental agreements, but what role do elected officials play in policy decisions about collaboration? I argue elected officials’ representation function in intergovernmental policymaking can be conceptualized through the analysis of three dimensions …

Satellite Ocean Color Assessment Of Air-Sea Fluxes Of Co2 In A River-Dominated Coastal Margin, Steven E. Lohrenz, Wei-Jun Cai

Faculty Publications

Quantification of the contributions of river-influenced margins to regional CO2 fluxes is difficult due to the high degree of spatial and temporal variability in these regions. We describe an algorithm for assessment of surface water partial pressure of CO2 (pCO(2)) from MODIS imagery in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Principal component analysis and multiple regression were used to relate surface pCO(2) to environmental variables (T, S, chlorophyll). Subsequent retrieval of corresponding products from MODIS-Aqua L1B data permitted the assessment of regional distributions of pCO(2). An area of low pCO(2) was evident in the vicinity of the Mississippi River delta, consistent …
