Report on industrial lands focus groups
No full text87 pp. Bookmarks supplied by UO. Tables, appendices. Published July 15, 1998. Captured January 13, 2008.Davis & Hibbitts, Inc. (DHI) is pleased to present a summary of key points based on focus group
research conducted for a consortium of organizations working on a regional industrial lands
strategy. The purpose of the research was to solicit opinions about industrial land availability
and industry location considerations from six perspectives â geographic, warehousing/
distribution, business park/flex space, manufacturing, large campus industrial, and land
use/environment/agriculture.
This focus group research is part of a larger, broader effort to reach consensus on an industrial
lands strategy for the region. The Port of Portland is leading this planning effort, along with the
Oregon Economic Development Department, Portland Development Commission, Columbia
River Economic Development Council, Commercial Real Estate Economic Coalition, Metro, and
Portland General Electric.
The full report presents in much more detail the key ideas and themes that emerged from the
discussions which may be useful in deciding what additional research and planning needs to be
done. Because this was a qualitative study, the information describes, rather than quantifies, the
variety of views among focus group participants. [From the document]"This project was funded in part with Oregon State Lottery Funds administered by the
Oregon Economic Development Department.
The preparation of this report was funded in part with a grant from the
Oregon State Lottery through the Regional Strategies Fund administered by the

Last writes? The law review in the age of cyberspace
No full textThis article reassesses the history and future of the law review in light of changing technological and academic conditions. It analyzes why law reviews developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and describes how three different waves of criticism have reflected shifting professorial, professional and pedagogical concerns about the genre. Recent editorial reforms and the inauguration of on-line services and electronic law journals appear to solve some of the law review's traditional problems, but the author suggests that these procedural and technological modifications leave the basic criticisms of the law review system unmet. In this context, the author proposes that legal writers self-publish on the World Wide Web, as he has done in an extended version of the present piece. This strategy would give legal writers more control over the substance and form of their scholarship, would create more opportunities for spontaneity and creativity, and would promote more direct dialogue between legal thinkers
Reassessing Professor Hibbitts\u27s Requiem for Law Reviews
Get PDFThe details vary from law review to law review, but typically, an accepted article is edited three times, once for technical compliance with the Bluebook manual of citation, once for substance and clarity, and again by a senior editor. Every citation is checked to confirm that it supports the proposition for which it is offered. The author sees the article at least twice during the process, once after the manuscript has been edited, and again at the galley or page proof stage.
Next, the article is typeset (increasingly, this simply means that a word processing file submitted by the author and edited by the law review staff is run through a photo typesetting machine), plates are made, and the volume of the law review containing the article is printed. The law review itself then usually takes care of order fulfillment for subscribers and special orders.
Now, consider the typical electronic publishing process on the World Wide Web. This author is familiar with Web-based publishing, having organized and supervised one of the major Web servers on the Internet devoted to legal information. Practices vary from server to server, but the following description is typical. An author, frequently also the owner of a Web page, takes a word processing file of an article, sometimes in the same stage of development that it would be submitted to a law review, sometimes in a much earlier stage of development. He reformats it by hand or by use of macros or scripts to transform word processing formatting codes into html codes. He may also add a hypertext- linked table of contents. The author then places the article on the Web server. There is no acceptance or rejection process, and no third party editing
Peer Review for Journals: Evidence on Quality Control, Fairness, and Innovation
Get PDFI reviewed the published empirical evidence concerning journal peer review, which consisted of 68 papers, all but three published since 1975. Peer review improves quality, but its use to screen papers has met with limited success. Current procedures to assure quality and fairness seem to discourage scientific advancement, especially important innovations, because findings that conflict with current beliefs are often judged to have defects. Editors can use procedures to encourage the publication of papers with innovative findings such as invited papers, early-acceptance procedures, author nominations of reviewers, results-blind reviews, structured rating sheets, open peer review, and, in particular, electronic publication. Some journals are currently using these procedures. The basic principle behind the proposals is to change the decision from whether to publish a paper to how to publish itpeer review, journals, publications
The Technology of Law
No full textThis paper argues that contemporary fascination with the law of technology (IP, cyberlaw, etc.) has led us to overlook the fundamental impact of the technology of law, and offers suggestions for creating neterate lawyers more comfortable with and cognizant of technology itself. The author describes how the legal news service JURIST implements many of these suggestions and provides a unique learning experience for its law student staffers
Unit rate contracts: is it a model for oil sands projects?
Get PDFThis project will investigate strategies that help provide cost surety to the oil sands construction industries. The project will begin with a review of the historical cost overruns and the lessons learned. The next focus point will be reviewing the demographics of Wood Buffalo to demonstrate the changes that have occurred since the early 2000s and refute the labour availability claim. Following the demographic review we will review construction contracts and the use of good faith as a contractual term. We will then conclude with a review of a unit rate simulation and discussion. --Leaves 2-3.The original print copy of this thesis may be available here: http://wizard.unbc.ca/record=b195331
