CONTRACTS - ILLEGALITY - CONTRACT TO RELINQUISH CUSTODY OF CHILD
The plaintiff declared on a contract between her father, Thomas Smith, and J. F. and A. T. Mulkey, in which the parent contracted to relinquish all control over the plaintiff, a minor, in consideration for which J. F. and A. T. Mulkey agreed to adopt the child and leave their property to her upon the death of the survivor. The contract was fully performed by the child\u27s parent, but J. F. and A. T. Mulkey failed to adopt the child, and made no provision for her in the distribution of their property. In a suit by the plaintiff at the death of J. F. Mulkey it was held that the contract was illegal and void. Mulkey v. Allen, 36 S.W. (2d) 198 (1931)

Reading Adam Smith: Understanding the Misinterpretations & the Fallacy of the Adam Smith Problem
This paper investigates Adam Smith’s intricate vision of human motivation and seeks to expose the fallacy of the “Adam Smith Problem”. Through an expansive study of the famed economist’s two most prominent works, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (WN) and The Theory of Moral Sentiments (TMS), I will show that the two are perfect complements of one other and that Adam Smith did not set down in one place his views on the nature of man. Adam Smith saw man for what he truly is, dominated by selfinterest but not without concern for others, able to reason but not necessarily able to reach the best or right conclusion while all the time seeing one’s own actions through a veil of self-delusion. WN and TMS are equally important books, and in order to understand the economics and philosophy of Adam Smith, both must be read and studied

Agent-based Simulation of Open Source Software Evolution
We present an agent-based simulation model of open source software (OSS). To our knowledge, this is the first model of OSS evolution that includes four significant factors: productivity limited by the complexity of software modules, the software's fitness for purpose, the motivation of developers, and the role of users in defining requirements. The model was evaluated by comparing the simulated results against four measures of software evolution (system size, proportion of highly complex modules, level of complexity control work, and distribution of changes) for four large OSS systems. The simulated results resembled all the observed data, including alternating periods of growth and stagnation. The fidelity of the model suggests that the factors included here have significant effects on the evolution of OSS systems
