Environmental Risk and Averting Behavior: Predictive Validity of Revealed and Stated Preference Data
Get PDFWe conduct predictive validity tests using revealed and stated behavior data from a panel survey of North Carolina coastal households. The application is to hurricane evacuation behavior. Data was initially collected after Hurricane Bonnie led to hurricane evacuations in North Carolina in 1998. Respondents were asked for their behavioral intentions if a hurricane threatened the North Carolina coast during the 1999 hurricane season. Following Hurricanes Dennis and Floyd in 1999, a follow-up survey was conducted to see if respondents behaved as they intended. A jointly estimated revealed and stated behavior model indicates that the hypothetical and real evacuation behavior is based on the same choice process. Using predictions from this model with a hypothetical bias correction we find that it predicts actual evacuation behavior with small forecast error. These results suggest that stated behavior data has some degree of predictive validity.
Social Consciousness and Citizenship: The Rise and Fall of the Loomis Gang
No full textThe Loomis Gang brought chaos and terror to Central New York as the largest family crime syndicate in the United States during the nineteenth century. The Loomises used crime to gain power, outmaneuver New York State’s criminal justice system, and oppress entire communities. This Thesis uses the lens of social consciousness and citizenship to offer new understandings about the rise and fall of the Loomis Gang. Unlike other historical literature on the Loomis Gang, this Thesis offers a social perspective granting new understandings of the rise and fall of the Loomis Gang and how these historical events affect the world today. The author accomplishes this by reexamining historical records including legal documents and newspaper articles. Technologies including newspapers, roads, canals, trains, and the telegraph brought greater connection between communities in the region, strengthening identity and increasing awareness of national, regional, and local societal ills. Through expansive social consciousness, the worldview of local communities in Central New York dramatically changed, causing citizens to define the Loomises as outsiders. The demise of the criminal organization transpired in conjunction with a violent redefinition of community and citizenship in the Civil War, as citizens became aware of an essential interrelatedness with each other as they desired unity and a more equitable world. On June 16, 1866, local citizens marched on the Loomis Mansion, burnt it to the ground, and tortured gang members into confessing their crimes thus ending their reign of terror and restoring order to the communities of Central New York

Starting from Loomis and other stories
No full textEdited with an introduction by Tim Yamamura.A memoir in short stories, starting from Loomis chronicles the life of accomplished writer, playwright, poet, and actor Hiroshi Kashiwagi. In this dynamic portrait of an aging writer trying to remember himself as a younger man, Kashiwagi recalls and reflects upon the moments, people, forces, mysteries, and choices--the things in his life that he cannot forget--that have made him who he is. Central to this collection are Kashiwagi's confinement at Tule Lake during World War II, his choice to answer no" and "no" to questions 27 and 28 on the official government loyalty questionnaire, and the resulting lifelong stigma of being labeled a "No-No Boy" after his years of incarceration. His nonlinear, multifaceted writing not only reflects the fragmentations of memory induced by traumas of racism, forced removal, and imprisonment but also can be read as a bold personal response to the impossible conditions he and other Nisei faced throughout their lifetimes.--Provided by publisher

Hoffman, 1980a:76; 1999:37. Type-species. Spirobolus nigrior Chamberlin, 1941, by original designation. Diagnosis. Posterior gonopod telopodite subupright. Prefemoral process relatively long, extending beyond level of acropodital midlength. Anterior acropodital margin narrowing abruptly distad, terminating in spiniform or bifurcate projection. Components. Three nominal species: A. nigrior (Chamberlin, 1941); A. pablillo Chamberlin, 1947; and A. productus Loomis, 1968 (Keeton 1960a, Hoffman 1999, Bueno-Villegas et al. 2004). Distribution (Fig. 28, letter A). Aztecolus inhabits the Mexican tribal area where it is partly sympatric with Floridobolinae / Tylobolini / Hiltonius / H. carpinus. Aside from the minor overlap of Spirobolinae and Floridobolinae in Florida, this is the only region where the two subfamilies are sympatric. We believe they overlapped along the Pacific Coast of North America during the early Cretaceous, but only Floridobolinae / Tylobolini occur there today. Maximal dimensions of the area of Aztecolus are roughly 752 km (470 mi) north-south and 491 km (307 mi) east-west. The northernmost locality (Nuevo León, Cañon de las Anahuac) is only ~ 115 km (72 mi) south of the Rio Grande and Laredo, Webb Co., Texas, so Aztecolini / Aztecolus may inhabit this region of southernmost Texas, USA. Origin. Occurring in the subfamilial and tribal source area, Aztecolus is the same age as these taxa, <296 my.Published as part of Shelley, Rowland M. & Floyd, Samuel D., 2014, Expanded concept of the milliped family Spirobolidae Diplopoda: Spirobolida: Spirobolidea): Proposals of Aztecolini n. tribe and Floridobolinae / ini and Tylobolini n. stats.; (re) descriptions of Floridobolus and F. penneri, both Causey, 1957, and F. orini n. sp.; hypotheses on origins and affinities, pp. 1-50 in Insecta Mundi 2014 (357) on page 27, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.517912
