Battle of Mobile Bay, 5 August 1864
No full textBy the summer of 1864, Mobile Bay was the only major port east of the Mississippi River still in Confederate hands. Although blockaded by the Union navy, blockade runners continued to move trade in and out of the port. Rear Admiral David G. Farragut was given the task of sealing off the entrance to the bay, stopping such trade. On 5 August 1864, the Admiral, in command of 18 vessels of the Union navy, assisted by a small force of army troops, attacked a small Confederate fleet of four vessels and three forts guarding the entrance to Mobil Bay. After a brief intense battle, two of the Confederate ships were captured, one destroyed and one fled back to the City of Mobile. One of the forts was captured, the other two rendered ineffective and later captured. This account describes in detail the actions of the twenty-two gunboats involved in the battle. I provide the exact times of movements and actions of the gunboats, detailed descriptions of the damage incurred by each of the Union gunboats, as well as the number and types of shells each fired and a list, including names, of the casualties on each ship.Open Restriction set for Item 118064 on 2021-08-03T19:53:08Z with date null by [email protected] by lowell getz ([email protected]) on 2021-08-03T19:58:18Z

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Role of Union Gunboats In the Vicksburg Campaign
No full textDuring the Civil War, because much of the commerce within the country was moved by riverboats, the Mississippi River and its tributaries became a focal point for naval action between the Union and Confederate “brown water” (river gunboat) navies. In early February 1862, The Union’s Western Gunboat Flotilla began taking control of the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers and the upper Mississippi River. By the 6th of June, the former two rivers and the Mississippi, down to Memphis, were in Union hands.
In mid April 1862, Admiral David G. Farragut assembled his “white water” blockade fleet, and entered the Mississippi River from the Gulf of Mexico to gain control of the southern reaches of the river. After accepting the surrender of New Orleans, Admiral Farragut moved on upstream, capturing Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Natchez, Mississippi. He moved on to Vicksburg, Mississippi, but did not have the forces to take the city. With its strong fortifications overlooking the river below, Vicksburg prevented navigation of Union boats, military and commercial, up and down the river.
While in Confederate hands, Vicksburg also allowed communication of the eastern Confederate states with the western states of Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. The eastern states relied heavily upon the three western states for horses, cattle and reinforcements. Capture of Vicksburg would allow the Union unrestricted usage of the river and isolate the western Confederate states from the eastern states. In November 1862, Major General Ulysses S. Grant began a campaign to capture Vicksburg. This report provides a detailed account of the participation of Union gunboats in the various phases of the Vicksburg Campaign until surrender of the city on 4 July 1863, based on original reports of participants during the campaign.Open Restriction set for Item 114736 on 2020-05-18T20:14:07Z with date null by [email protected] by lowell getz ([email protected]) on 2020-05-18T20:24:40Z

An Evaluation of the Getz - Roanoke County School Division's School Counselor Peer Group Clinical Supervision Program
No full text(G-PGCS) was designed and implemented for K-6 school counselors. G-PGCS began in the fall of 1994 and has continued to the present; however, there have been no studies on the effects of the program. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to conduct a qualitative evaluation of G-PGCS.
The evaluation participants included current Roanoke County K-5 school counselors, and selected administrators. The sources of data for the evaluation were interviews, an informal observation, program documents, Semantic Differential Scales (SDS) designed for this evaluation, the Job Satisfaction Blank (JSB; Hoppock, 1935), a counselor burnout SDS (Cummings and Nall, 1983), video tapes of G-PGCS sessions and responses to an anonymous memorandum.
As a result of participation in G-PGCS, the K-5 counselors interviewed reported gains in counseling skills, positive professional changes, and personal growth. JSB and burnout SDS means of the G-PGCS counselors indicated that they have a high job satisfaction and low counselor burnout levels. G-PGCS could have contributed to high JSB and low SDS burnout scores, but further study is needed in this area. Strengths of G-PGCS were increased peer support and self-awareness, learning new counseling techniques and skills, G-PGCS supervision feedback, and a greater sense of professionalism. In addition, administrative support, training, and structure were cited as strengths. The SDS also confirmed the gains and strengths of G-PGCS.
Group membership and/or dynamics was cited as a weakness because some of the counselors wanted to change group membership periodically. The other two weaknesses were the lack of adequate time for clinical supervision and the need for more clinical supervision training. No weaknesses of G-PGCS were found in the statistical analysis of the SDS. With administrative support and modifications, G-PGCS can be replicated to meet the clinical supervision needs of school counselors. Further research including an experimental pre- and post- observation study is needed to find specific G-PGCS program gains.Ph. D

The Right to Strike under the United States Constitution: Theory, Practice, and Possible Implications for Canada
No full textAnswering critics of the Canadian Supreme Court's judgment in B.C. Health, the author argues that the Court laid the foundation for a principled and durable doctrine protecting constitutional labour rights, one that goes directly to the heart of the matter — the inequality of workers’ power in the employment relation. In the author’s view, two paths could lead from B.C. Health to the recognition of Charter protec- tion for a right to strike: one that treats the right as an accessory to col- lective bargaining, and one that upholds the right directly on the basis of the Charter values of equality and participation. The author supports the latter approach, contending that constitutional rights should be defined in relation to fundamental values, in a way that is not contingent on time-bound or fact-sensitive assessments about the role of strikes within a particular collective bargaining regime. Although a Charter right to strike may involve the courts in difficult choices about when to defer to legislative policy decisions, and courts may lack the institutional capac- ity to deal effectively with labour law issues, the author points out that judges can look to ILO standards for expert guidance. Noting that the U.S. experience in this area might be of considerable use to Canadians, the author concludes by providing an overview of American case law concerning a constitutional right to strike.Peer reviewe
