Injunctions Pending Arbitration: Do the Courts really Have Jurisdiction

The issue of injunctive relief pending arbitration stems from the language of the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), 5 which compels arbitration.16 The instant decision falls within the growing majority of cases holding that the issuance of an injunction to preserve the status quo pending arbitration fulfills the court\u27s obligation under the FAA to enforce a valid agreement to arbitrate.

The literary life of John Tomlin, friend of Poe.

The writer\u27s interest in John Tomlin, first aroused by allusions in Poe biographies to Tomlin, the literary postmaster of Jackson, Tennessee, or Tomlin, a poet of Tennessee, was further stimulated by those portions of the Poe-Tomlin correspondence in the biographies and in the Harrison edition of Poe\u27s works. As the search for additional information concerning this relatively obscure Tennesseean preceeded, many persons who, for one reason or another, had also been interested in John Tomlin and had made preliminary investigation came to the writer\u27s aid and generously made their information available. Their help is gratefully acknowledged below. It is the purpose of this preface to outline the method by which material was gathered and to list the most important sources

The religious element in the popular ballads.

The present study of the religious element in the popular ballads is based largely on Mr. George L. Kittredge\u27s edition of Mr. Francis J. Child\u27s collection of English and Scottish popular ballads, the completeness of which, up to this time, has not been disputed.* Mr. Kittredge has printed in his volume one or more versions of every ballad which Mr. Child has given as an authentic folk ballad (omitting Nos. 33, 279, 281, 290 and 291), besides including a few of somewhat doubtful origin. It has not been judged necessary for the purposes of this article to discuss more than one version of any ballad, except in cases where a significant development of thought or custom is brought out by the different versions; consequently Mr. Kittredge\u27s single volume has been found most convenient and adequate. The numbers and names of ballads to which this paper refers are those used by both Mr. Child and Mr. Kittredge. The notes of both of these scholars have been consulted and quoted frequently and freely. The present work makes no claim to originality, but purposes to consider the ballads from one standpoint, their relation to the Christian religion and church, applying to the whole series the same touchstone, and grouping the facts which this test brings out under suitable headings

Food access issues on the suburban/urban interface: a case study for Longmont, CO

2011 Summer.Includes bibliographical references.Traditional literature on food deserts focuses on rural and urban areas, often blaming suburban areas for supermarket abandonment while simultaneously praising suburban areas for their rich food environments. This research shows that despite a dense concentration of supermarkets and other food outlets in the suburban area of Longmont, Colorado, a segment of residents still experience significant challenges in securing fruits and vegetables. However, unlike rural and urban food deserts, distance does not appear to be a significant barrier, perhaps because Longmont exhibits urban center characteristics and suburban characteristics given its proximity to metro-Denver. A community based food assessment complete with a survey, focus groups, and listening session was used to gather data, and then to explore characteristics that explained perceived barriers, ordered probit models and summary statistical analysis were utilized. Results from the models predict that alternative modes of transportation (not one's own car) and ethnicity increase perceived challenges in purchasing/receiving fruits and vegetables. Also, while some primary sources of fruits and vegetables (natural grocery stores, ethnic markets, and seasonal outlets) are associated with increased fruit and vegetable consumption, our expectations that education and income would influence consumption were not discovered. These findings challenge common notions about food deserts and food access issues, as well as their recommended solutions. Alternative solutions to addressing food access are discussed in the context of areas, such as Longmont, along the urban/suburban interface. Overall, it is suggested that food access issues in Longmont are not due to market failures, but instead due to mismatched infrastructure. Several policy proposals and projects are suggested

Status of Sex-specific Fetal Protection Policies, The

Many commentators and judges consider cases involving fetal protection policies the most important sex discrimination cases since Congress enacted Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. With as many as twenty million workers potentially exposed to chemicals in the workplace that may cause reproductive health problems, employers have implemented fetal protection policies. The employers\u27 motivation for enacting these policies is dual in nature: (1) to protect the health of future generations and (2) to protect themselves from potential tort liability. Regardless of the benevolence of employers\u27 motives, the issue is whether individual employers should be allowed to close hazardous jobs to women because of the risk of fetal harm
