Hegelian Spirits in Sellarsian Bottles

Though Wilfrid Sellars portrayed himself as a latter-day Kantian, I argue here that he was at least as much a Hegelian. Several themes Sellars shares with Hegel are investigated: the sociality and normativity of the intentional, categorial change, the rejection of the given, and especially their denial of an unknowable thing-in-itself. They are also united by an emphasis on the unity of things—the belief that things do ‘‘hang together.’’ Hegel’s unity is idealist; Sellars’ is physicalist; the differences are substantial, but so are the resonances

The new ideal : reshaping Schererville

Schererville, Indiana could be considered a suburb of Chicago due to its proximity to major highways leading there and the number of people who live there and commute to the city. But Schererville still has an identity of its own. Nicknamed "The Crossroads of America" Schererville owns the intersections of Highways 30 and 41, once the Lincoln Highway and the Dixie Highway, the first two highways in the United States. However, the problem with starting a town around two major highways is that they divide the city into quadrants, forbidding pedestrian traffic. Schererville was built for the car. The Lincoln Highway no longer runs through the old downtown of Schererville, which has allowed some historic places to be preserved. But the downtown has no life to it, despite the recent construction of a new police station and city hall. My architecture studio design project includes the design of a recreation center in downtown Schererville, and suggestions for urban redesign of the rest of the town, with ideas from my experiences at home and from my participation in the Polyark World Tour. Careful planning could make the whole town more pedestrian-friendly. Pride exists in the town because of "The Crossroads of the Nation" claim, but it is one of the worst places to try to travel across. By celebrating the new bike path with the new recreation center and other destinations, Schererville can have a reason to be proud of its transportation again. The historic railroad lines will be celebrated by the location of the new recreation center, and a new gateway into the town will help dissolve the barrier of the massive highways. This project reflects the needs of the community, especially the young and old who are not able to drive far away from home. The new Schererville Recreation Center is a worthwhile destination for all.Honors CollegeThesis (B.?.

No evidence of bias from fish behavior in the selectivity of size and sex of the protogynous red porgy (Pagrus pagrus, Sparidae) by hook-and-line gear

Most fisheries select the size of fish to be caught (are size selective), and many factors, including gear, market demands, species distributions, fishery laws, and the behavior of both fishermen and fish, can contribute to that selectivity. Most fishing gear is size-selective and some, such as gill nets, are more so than others. The targeting behavior of fishermen is another key reason commercial and recreational fisheries tend to be size-selective. The more successful fishermen constantly seek areas and methods that yield larger or more profitable sizes of fish. Fishery regulations, especially size limits, produce size-selective harvests. Another factor with the potential to cause selectivity in a hook-and-line fishery is the different behavioral responses of fish to the bait or lure, whether the different responses arise among different fish sizes or between the sexes
