In Connection With What?: Chadbourne & Parke LLP v. Troice and the Applicability of the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act

This commentary previews an upcoming Supreme Court case, Chadbourne & Parke LLP v. Troice, in which the Court will clarify whether the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act precludes a state law class action alleging a scheme of fraud involving misrepresentations about transactions in covered-securities

Who Are You? A Study of Authentic Leadership in Action

The building leader is the pulse of the school. The behavior and emotions of building leaders set the tone for short term and long-term outcomes in schools. The ability of the school principal to be aware of the characteristics they have, what they believe in, and the goals they desire to achieve is critical. Principals who follow up with their own awareness and put into action those beliefs are served well. Research suggests that principals who consistently exercise their core values, establish goals, understand their purpose and lead with their heart are considered genuine in their leadership. Authenticity was the desired goal of this study, to find out if principals walk the life they say they believe. This study is presented with the framework of personal journeys of building principals and their awareness of their own authenticity and ability to act on their authentic beliefs. This study will inform the field of authentic leadership through the role of the building principal and how they stay authentic in the face of external challenges

Evaluating Learning Geometric Concepts to Generate Predicate Abstract Domains in Static Program Analysis

Accuracy of static analysis over predicate abstract domains depends on the partitions of predicates. More precise predicates approximate concrete values of program variables resulting in more accurate analysis. Manual reasoning about these partitions must be done on a case-by-case basis and is time consuming and difficult. This work explores learning geometric concepts to automate discovery of predicate domain candidates. The proposed framework uses run-time data from program executions to gather training data for a PAC-learner to generate separating hyperplanes that can be projected onto predicate domains. The thesis implements the framework and performs evaluations of it effectiveness on a set of benchmark programs using various test-case generation tools. This exploratory work discusses several deficiencies in the current state of the art in test case generation, intermediate program representation, and availability of suitable program benchmarks

Issues facing and shaping the role of district superintendents during a period of radical change

Before 1987, the work of superintendents was well known throughout the state education system. Their role had evolved over a long period of time and was firmly established - materially and in the minds of school staff. Sometimes people disagreed with how that role was discharged but they did have a clear idea of what it entailed. Superintendents also enjoyed a high profile. They were commonly seen to occupy powerful and prestigious positions, presiding over teachers\u27 careers and curriculum developments. The Better Schools Report changed much of that..

Equine osteoarthritis: A Comparison of type 1 and type 2 conditions

In what originally began as research to answer my own questions about osteoarthritis, I learned as much as I could from reading anatomy, veterinary, and physiology books. I had to look in many places to find all the answers I wanted. The books that provided the best visual information lacked text to explain the images, and the books that provided the best text definitions usually provided simplified illustrations or very confusing clinical photographs. While trying to unite the best images with the best text explaining what was going on, an idea was formed. I decided to combine clear images with clear descriptions, comparing the two most common types of osteoarthritis found in horses, types 1 and 2. 1 wanted to design a system that could be used in veterinarians\u27 offices to explain osteoarthritis to a client in a manner that was understandable as well as informative. The equine limb is an amazingly complex structure. It allows a thousand pound animal to run at speeds of up to 45 miles an hour, jump over six foot obstacles and sleep while standing. However, this marvel of evolution has come at a cost. The cost is a strict definition of the work expected of the limb. Horses do not have the ability nor the desire to partake in bed rest or stay off an injured limb. With this in mind, veterinarians have often struggled with the best way to manage injuries in horses. Treatments for diseases such as osteoarthritis are still being debated. Equine osteoarthritis is a devastating disease that strikes thousands of horses each year. It can be an inevitable badge of advancing age, or a preventable injury brought on by human demand. It can even result from traumatic injury. Whatever the cause, once it has taken hold it leads to the same end, progressive damage to the joint In order to discuss the disease process of osteoarthritis I have explored the anatomy of the two joints most frequently involved, the carpus and hock. The relationship of the bones that form these joints is paramount to understanding the forces that are at work when a horse is in motion. I also explored the structure of synovial joints, and the hock and carpus joints in motion. This lesson in anatomy was designed to be accurate enough for use in a teaching environment, yet to be clear enough for use in a clinical environment where often all members involved are not veterinarians

Contents page, and, Introduction by Rod Chadbourne, Guest editor

In 1992, the Commonwealth Department of Employment, Education and Training (DEET) released a policy document titled: Teacher Education: A discussion paper. Among other thought provoking points, it presented Australian teacher educators as relatively old and lacking current teaching experience in schools. According to the discussion paper, 81 % of teacher educators are over 38 years old, 37% are over 48, only 20% taught in schools during the 1980\u27s, and more than 50% were school teachers before 1973 (pp 11- 12). Further, consistent with their obsolescent teaching experience (p.12), teacher educators simply pass on the theory of teaching (p.17) and many of them are out of touch with contemporary practice and the most recent educational research (p.l7). The discussion paper also expressed concern that faculty teaching experience has not kept pace with changes in schools (p.12) and it questioned the quality and relevance of (university) education programs (p.16). Part of the problem is a tendency among teacher educators to emphasise the academic content of studies frequently at the expense of a more professional and practical pedagogical orientation (p.16) One way to address these critical issues, suggested the discussion paper, would be to consider transferring a lot of teacher education from universities to schools
