Joint angle affects volitional and magnetically-evoked neuromuscular performance differentially
No full textThis study examined the volitional and magnetically-evoked neuromuscular performance of the quadriceps femoris at functional knee joint angles adjacent to full extension. Indices of volitional and magnetically-evoked neuromuscular performance (N= 15 healthy males; 23.5 ± 2.9 years; 71.5 ± 5.4 kg; 176.5 ± 5.5 cm) were obtained at 25°; 35° and 45° of knee flexion. Results showed that volitional and magnetically-evoked peak force (PFV; PTFE, respectively) and electromechanical delay (EMDV; EMDE, respectively) were enhanced by increased knee flexion. However, greater relative improvements in volitional compared to evoked indices of neuromuscular performance were observed with increasing flexion from 25° to 45° (e.g. EMDV; EMDE: 36% vs. 11% improvement, respectively; F[2,14] = 6.8; p < 0.05). There were no significant correlations between EMDV and EMDE or PFV and PTFE, respectively at analogous joint positions. These findings suggest that the extent of the relative differential between volitional and evoked neuromuscular performance capabilities is joint angle-specific and not correlated with performance capabilities at adjacent angles, but tends to be smaller with increased flexion. As such, effective prediction of volitional from evoked performance capabilities at both analogous and adjacent knee joint positions would lack robustness
The Sentencing Commission and Prosecutorial Discretion: The Role of the Courts in Policing Sentence Bargains
No full textThe Honorable John Gleeson graduated from Georgetown University in 1975 and earned a law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1980. After serving as a law clerk for the Honorable Boyce F. Martin, Jr., U.S. Circuit Judge for the Sixth Circuit, Judge Gleeson was a litigation associate at Cravath, Swaine & Moore from 1981 to 1985.

During the next 10 years, he served as chief of appeals, chief of special prosecutions, chief of organized crime and chief of the criminal division, the position he occupied when he was appointed to the bench. In 1992, Judge Gleeson was awarded the Attorney General’s Distinguished Service Award for his work as lead prosecutor in the case United States v. John Gotti, et al. Judge Gleeson was appointed as a U.S. District Judge on September 28, 1994.
Judge Gleeson has been an adjunct professor at New York University School of Law since 1995. From 1990 to 1997, he was an adjunct faculty member at Brooklyn Law School. In 1994, he served as the John A. Ewald, Jr. Distinguished Visiting Professor of Law at the University of Virginia School of Law. He is a co-author of the treatise Federal Criminal Practice: A Second Circuit Handbook, LexisNexis (2007) (with Gordon Mehler and David C. James), and of the following articles: “Supervising Federal Capital Punishment: Why the Attorney General Should Defer When U.S. Attorneys Recommend Against the Death Penalty,” 89 Virginia Law Review 1697 (2003); ”Supervising Criminal Investigations: The Proper Scope of the Supervisory Power of Federal Judges,” 5 Journal of Law and Social Policy 423 (1997); “Sentence Bargaining Under the Guidelines,” 8 Federal Sentencing Reporter 6 (1996); and “The Federalization of Organized Crime: The Advantages of Federal Prosecution,” 46 Hastings Law Journal 1095 (1995) (with John C. Jeffries, Jr.).

INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVES ON INCLUSIVE ASSESSMENT: Knowledge, knowing and the relational
No full textThis chapter evolved from a sharing and narration of the authors' insights and experiences of inclusive education within First Nations learning spaces. It provides a broad reflection on focused Indigenous perspectives within inclusive assessments and moves between two sections. The first section, provided by co-author Gleeson, considers First Nations learning spaces in the context of Indigenous and non-Indigenous students; and the second, from co-author Fletcher, examines the tensions of assessment within a more specific First Nations context. Drawing upon these considerations and tensions, the authors consider how inclusive assessment may be enacted, and finally offer some thoughts on how these perspectives and understandings may be further developed
