Hobbs MainStreet: Community Economic Assessment
No full textAn analysis of economic conditions in Hobbs, New Mexico, commissioned for its MainStreet development program. The Hobbs MainStreet district and the greater Hobbs trade area (based on drive time analysis) are described and graphically displayed on color maps.

Using a location quotient analysis, the author assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the Hobbs economy, based upon its pull factors. Results indicate that the Hobbs economy faces many challenges, including a severe housing shortage, a high rate of poverty, low educational attainment levels among the workforce, and “boom or bust” business cycles caused by dependence on the regional oil and natural gas industries. The author concludes with recommendations for downtown investment, particularly increasing investment in the accommodations and service sectors and developing rental housing.

Public and Private Standards for Food Safety and Quality: International Trade Implications
No full textThis article examines the implications for the international trade environment of public and private standards for food safety and food quality. Public (mandatory) standards are a response to a perceived market failure and include mandatory risk assessment procedures, restrictions on harmful products, and labelling requirements. Disparate public standards create challenges for international trading partners and are dealt with through the WTO SPS and TBT Agreements. Private standards for food safety and quality are becoming a prominent feature of international food markets and include proprietary, consensus and third-party standards. The WTO has no jurisdiction over private standards. Key questions include whether private standards divert or reduce trade or whether they can be trade enhancing, and under what conditions. The implications for the WTO are discussed, and future trade policy research needs pertaining to the co-existence of public and private standards for food safety and quality are identified.food safety, GLOBALGAP, HACCP, mandatory standards, private standards, Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety, International Relations/Trade,
The Right to Democratic Participation in Labor Unions and the Use of the Hobbs Act to Combat Organized Crime
No full textThe author examines corruption within labor unions and the responses to that corruption with the use of two laws, the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 and the Hobbs Act. While the LMRDA guarantees union members important rights, corruption and the influence of organized crime has severely weakened members’ ability to exercise those rights. The author argues that RICO actions can and should be pursued against those who extort and otherwise violate union members’ rights because the remedies available under RICO are stronger than those available under the Hobbs Act. The author contends that the Hobbs Act should be amended to include allowing actions that violate the intangible rights guaranteed to unions and their members under the LMRDA
One Hundred Foot III
No full textJim Hobbs has curated his third installment of international, contemporary 16mm films. He has selected 16 films by artists and filmmakers whose work falls within the parameters of One Hundred Feet. For this screening, all the selected works also incorporate some form of collaboration. Collage, found footage, handmade processes, film manipulation, short sketches, finished works, end of reels, rushes, and cans that haven’t been off the shelf in years - these films offer up a type of B-side mentality and a glimpse into many of the artists working process and how collaborations yield unexpected outcomes. Including Hobbs' collaboration with musician Dennis McNanny (Museum of Love, DFA, JeeDay), other participating artists include: Carla Garcia & Calum Watt, Eric Stewart & Dan Stangl, Oliver Bancroft & Will Hanke, Guy Sherwin & Lyn Loo, Emile Atkinson/Karel Doing/Rosalind Fowler/James Holcombe, Richard Bevan & Sophie Michael, David Leister & Christel Chaudet, Patrick Beveridge & Mikhail Kozlov, Denis Masi & The The, Terry Wragg & Jez Coram, Nick Collins, Jenny Baines and Bea Haut, Simon Liu & Brian Cooper, Sophie Michael & Astrid Everall, Martha Jurksaitis & Kathy Alberic
