Online and quasi-online colorings of wedges and intervals

We consider proper online colorings of hypergraphs defined by geometric regions. We prove that there is an online coloring algorithm that colors $N$ intervals of the real line using $\Theta(\log N/k)$ colors such that for every point $p$, contained in at least $k$ intervals, not all the intervals containing $p$ have the same color. We also prove the corresponding result about online coloring a family of wedges (quadrants) in the plane that are the translates of a given fixed wedge. These results contrast the results of the first and third author showing that in the quasi-online setting 12 colors are enough to color wedges (independent of $N$ and $k$). We also consider quasi-online coloring of intervals. In all cases we present efficient coloring algorithms

Roofing Careers in Albuquerque: An Analysis of Legal and Undocumented Labor

This working papers focus is on undocumented worker who have year-round jobs and settle more or less permanently in the U.S. The data shows that in one industry, the pay differential for undocumented workers is less than that of citizens. Undocumented workers enjoy somewhat permanent living and working conditions, but their undocumented status may prevent them from securing wages and promotions comparable to legal workers.\u2

The Voluntary Practices: The Last-Gasp of Big Time College Football and the NCAA

College football is desperately in need of new NCAA rules governing voluntary practices and the real problem is that coaches will always find a way to slip around the rules in order to seize the rewards of winning. Therefore, the NCAA must perform its duty and reform the rules to protect the health and well being of the collegiate football player, because as a voluntary association of a coalition of 960 member colleges, it has been given the authority to adopt rules governing its member institutions\u27 recruiting, eligibility, financial aid and admissions. Part II of this Note will begin by examining the factual circumstances surrounding three collegiate football deaths occurring during voluntary practices prior to the 2001 season. Part III will then explore how courts have imposed liability upon colleges and universities for injuries to their students. Part IV calls for reformation of the NCAA and its regulation of voluntary football practices, demanding that the NCAA should change the rules regulating voluntary football practices to reflect the high-risk nature of collegiate football and the reality that such practices are in effect quasi-mandatory. It will argue that the NCAA ban all forms of off-season voluntary practices or, in the alternative, recognize and allow such workouts to continue, but require that proper medical supervision be provided. Part V of this Note will argue that the NCAA has disregarded its founding principles to protect the welfare of the student-athlete. Part VI will delve into the NCAA\u27s current regulations and expose their weaknesses. Part VII of this Note offers the counter arguments to such proposals and the problems they create. Lastly, Part VIII will argue that if the NCAA chooses to sit idly upon the current regulations, it, as well as its member universities, should be held liable for allowing practices without proper medical supervision to protect football players. It will argue that the special relationship between the college and the student-athlete not only exists to impose liability and a heightened duty of care upon the college, but also extends to reach the governing body the NCAA
