Saving Rutgers Camden
No full textIn January 2012, Chris Christie, Governor of New Jersey, announced that the Camden campus of Rutgers, the State University, was to be severed from Rutgers and taken over by Rowan University. Every major political force in the state, Democratic and Republican, elected and behind the scenes, lined up in support of the plan. Nevertheless, Rutgers-Camden faculty, students, administrators, alumni, and trustees, and their allies, vigorously fought the plan, convinced that it made no sense and would be devastating to the campus and higher education in the State more generally. The campaign opposing the merger with Rowan was popular and political, but it ultimately depended on powerful legal arguments grounded in Rutgers’ distinct and complex history. By the end of June, the merger idea had been defeated. As one assistant professor put it, “The bad guys got outmaneuvered by a bunch of nerds.”
This article is a scholarly effort by three faculty participants to make sense of the struggle to save Rutgers-Camden and put it in theoretical context. The article narrates the story of the fight over the proposed merger and carefully analyzes the legal constraints on the plan. It also links the story to important broader questions about legal pluralism, the public/private divide, the relationship between state universities and state governments, and competing visions of the modern university faculty. Through this combination of case study, legal argument, and conceptual inquiry, the article provides a cautionary but hopeful tale about the importance of academic communities defending sound public policy and their own historical rights to self determination against the machinations that can infect our political culture and legislative process.Please direct any questions about this deposit to Charlotte Schneider ([email protected])
Essor et déclin des télégraphes britanniques en tant que service public
No full textTHE RISE AND FALL OF GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPHY IN BRITAIN Charles R. Perry The first nationalization in England was that of the telegraph. This phenomenon, overlooked for many years by historians, is considered here by the author who analyses the government's arguments in the 1860s. He then reviews a complex and contrasting heritage (the rise and fall): social achievement but financial failure.ESSOR ET DECLIN DES TELEGRAPHES BRITANNIQUES EN TANT QUE SERVICE PUBLIC Charles R. Perry La nationalisation du télégraphe fut la première à intervenir en Angleterre. Ce phénomène, longtemps ignoré des historiens, est repris ici par l'auteur qui analyse d'abord ce que fut dans les années 1 860 l'argument des pouvoirs publics. Il s'attache ensuite au bilan (l'essor et le déclin) d'un héritage complexe et contrasté : une réussite sociale, mais un échec fiscal.Perry Charles R., Albaret Michèle.

LOCALIZED ENERGY ESTIMATES FOR WAVE EQUATIONS ON (1 + 4)-DIMENSIONAL MYERS-PERRY SPACE-TIMES
No full textAbstract. Localized energy estimates for the wave equation have been increasingly used to prove various other dispersive estimates. This article focuses on proving such localized energy estimates on (1+4)-dimensional Myers-Perry black hole backgrounds with small angular momenta. The Myers-Perry space-times are generalizations of higher dimensional Kerr backgrounds where additional planes of rotation are availabile while still maintaining axial symmetry. Once it is determined that all trapped geodesics have constant r, the method developed by Tataru and the fourth author, which perturbs off of the Schwarzschild case by using a pseudodifferential multiplier, can be adapted. 1

An exploratory descriptive study of hopelessness and spiritual well-being among juvenile substance abusers, 1995
No full textThis research study examined (1) the level of hopelessness and (2) spiritual well-being in Juvenile substance abusers. Data was collected from thirty State committed youth. These youth were predominately Black and the average respondent was male, ages fourteen to eighteen. Research indicated that there was no statistical significance between the variables hopelessness and spiritual well-being in juvenile substance abusers. In addition, the Pearson's(R) Test produced a correlation coefficient of .4800 which prompted the researchers to accept the null
2014 Sub-Librarians Meeting: Two Decades with The Beekeeper\u27s Apprentice and Sherlock Holmes
No full textTwo Decades with The Beekeeper\u27s Apprentice and Sherlock Holmes
Marsha Pollak welcomed everyone to the 37th (Irregular) Annual meeting Monday morning. The traditional toasts were given: Lomax by Paula Perry (in absentia); Sherlock Holmes by Gary Thaden; Hill Barton by George Scheetz (in absentia); Baron Gruner by Joe Coppola; and Kitty Winter by Elaine Coppola.
Laurie R. King spoke to the Sub-Librarians and all Sherlockians and mystery fans. Celebrating the Twentieth anniversary of the first of Mary Russell\u27s memoirs, The Beekeeper\u27s Apprentice, Laurie talked about the adventures shared by Russell and the World\u27s Greatest Consulting Detective.
This program was sponsored by ALCTS (Association for Library Collections and Technical Services). Laurie R. King is the New York Times bestselling author of 22 novels and other works, including the Mary Russell-Sherlock Holmes stories (from The Beekeeper’s Apprentice, named one of the 20th century’s best crime novels by the IMBA, to 2014′s Dreaming Spies). She has won or been nominated for an alphabet of prizes from Agatha to Wolfe, been chosen as guest of honor at several crime conventions, and is probably the only writer to have both an Edgar and an honorary doctorate in theology. She was inducted into the Baker Street Irregulars in 2010, as “The Red Circle”. From the author\u27s website
