Results of haddock tagging in the Gulf of Maine from 1923 to 1932

In the hope of throwing some light on their migratory habits 10998 haddock were tagged in the Gulf of Maine from 1923 to 1932 by the United States Bureau of Fisheries vessels Halcyon and Albatross II, during the course of cod marking experiments, made between the months of April and October. This paper gives an account of the recaptures reported from these tagged haddock, together with a brief discussion of rate of growth...

OF RUPTURES AND RAPTURES: LOCATING IDEOLOGY WITH LIDAR IMAGERY

Archaeological praxis necessarily requires at least one object (a piece of technology or something that functions as an object) to articulate and explain ideologies from the past. This is problematic because ideology is abstract and difficult to locate in the archaeological record in reified form. Archaeology’s preoccupation for over 100 years has been the systematic location, identification, and excavation of discrete artifacts; features, and sites; interpreting meanings from comparative studies and data sets; and putting the past in order all while documenting change over time. Historical archaeologist Mark P. Leone identified fences, the Plat of the ideal City of Zion, Mormon temple architecture, plan, and program, and dams on the Little Colorado River in Arizona as the technologies and objects that facilitated Mormon settlement, survival, and adaptation in the Intermontane West of North America in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In 2010, Leone revisited his life-work including a critical re-examination of his original research on Mormon fences, the Plat of the ideal City of Zion, and Mormon temples. In the interim, Leone read Philosopher Slavoj Žižek’s The Sublime Object of Ideology. Žižek defined three types of ideological objects: voids (or absences); large, unattractive objects left over or resultant from the past of which we are all aware; and an index or circulating object, one that is known to exist or have existed and requires an ideological structure to understand it, e.g. Mormonism. Žižek’s definitions and rubric have a potential to answer a research question that emerges out of Leone’s life-work: What was or is the object of Mormon ideological desire in the archaeological record (OMIDAR)? The ultimate ideological desire of 19th and early 20th century Mormonism was the creation of a New Zion. A test revealed that none of the four technologies Leone previously identified completely meets Žižek’s criteria. This dissertation undertook a critical examination of LiDAR imagery of the Mormon Row Historic District (MRHD) (48TE1444) in Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) in which a provisional Mormon irrigation pattern (MIP) was identified. Leone considered irrigation associated with dams as an important factor, but did not consider it as an ideal technological object perhaps because, unlike fences, settlements, temples, and dams, irrigation was not seen as a unary object. The MIP was searched for along the Little Colorado River in Arizona. In each of the settlements in Leone’s original study area at least one relict field containing the MIP was located. As a technology and unary object, the MIP was tested against Žižek’s criteria and it passes. It is averred that the MIP is the metaphysical and material ‘footprint’ of New Zion—an ideological void. The authorizing heritage discourse (AHD) concerning irrigation features is also challenged and a recommended revision concerning their significance and eligibility for listing on the National Register of Historic Places is offered

Warrantless Misdemeanor Arrests and the Fourth Amendment

The United States Supreme Court has never decided whether any aspects of the common law ban on warrantless misdemeanor arrests are required by the Constitution.\u27 In fact, very few courts have said anything significant about the relationship between the Fourth Amendment and the common law rule. This Article will examine the constitutional questions raised by the continuing expansion of the power to make warrantless arrests for misdemeanors

The Impact of the 1973 Flooding of the Mobile River System on the Hydrography of Mobile Bay and East Mississippi Sound

Hydrographic conditions in lower Mobile Bay and East Mississippi Sound are documented during two flooding intervals of the Mobile River System. The flooding river waters so dominated Mobile Bay that a near limnetic system prevailed for over 30 days except in the deeper areas. East Mississippi Sound was also greatly influenced by river waters, but to a lesser extent than Mobile Bay. Dissolved oxygen concentrations were decreased in both locations as flooding progressed. No significant temperature differences between flooding, estuarine or Gulf of Mexico waters were observed

Factoring the Seriousness of the Offense Into Fourth Amendment Equations: Strip Searches in Detention Facilities - Atwater Strikes Again

This article suggests, inter alia, that Atwater can and should be limited, or better yet, overruled, by the adoption of reasonableness and probable cause standards that take into account the seriousness of the offense and make custodial arrests of minor offenders, and searches directed at minor offenders, much more difficult to justify than comparable activities directed at serious offenders
