Racial fortuity, rights sacrifice, and the promise of convergence in prison and policing policy
No full textContemplating Professor Bell’s theory of “racial fortuity,” Professor Henderson argues that in criminal justice policy – specifically, incarceration and policing – minorities remain only fortuitous beneficiaries of reform. Using as examples California’s Assembly Bill 109, which functions to reallocate offender responsibility to the local level in the wake of the Supreme Court’s affirmance of the three-judge panel prison reduction order in Brown v. Plata, and the public campaigns being waged against police misconduct and brutality in the wake of the Occupy Wall Street protests, Henderson argues that, while robust efforts to address racialized harms have been eschewed in favor of policies which stand to further entrench racial disparities and inequality, there remains for advocates a window of opportunity yet to be seized.One of several essays written by New York City-area law professors who gathered to pay tribute to the late Derrick Bell’s scholarship and teaching at an event hosted by Columbia Law School on December 10, 2011, entitled “A Living, Working Faith: Remembering Our Colleague Derrick A. Bell, Jr.” Professors who presented at the conference developed essays reflecting their comments on three central themes: the Permanence of Racism, Bell’s unique teaching pedagogy and his Interest Convergence Theory. These essays were later published by the Columbia Journal of Race and Law as a special on-line feature named after the conference
Wide framing disposition effect : an empirical study
No full textWe estimate the disposition effect for active traders in a large discount brokerage dataset containing US households trading records between 1991 and 1996. We apply a wide framing perspective, focusing on portfolios rather than individual stocks. We find that the disposition effect varies inversely with the proportion of stocks trading at a gain in the portfolio, nearly vanishing when this proportion reaches 50%. This is driven by how the realisation of gains and losses depends on the percentage of gains in the account. The probability to realise a loss increases with the percentage of gains in the account. The relation between the probability of realising a gain and the percentage of gains in the bank account follows a U-shape. We also estimate the change in the disposition effect when an investor realises more than one stock on a trading day. We find when investors sell a stock, they are much more likely to also realise another stock on the same day. In particular, selling a loss increases an investor’s propensity to sell a gain and vice versa. This key finding provides an explanation for the observed dependency of the disposition effect on the portfolio composition. We also propose several psychological explanations for our findings

The Running Revolution: Observations and Advice from Joe Henderson
No full textJoe Henderson has been the heartbeat of the running revolution since its beginnings in the early 1970s. Hiz eighth book offers the best of his running and writing career to this point (1980). Best-selling author Dr. George Sheehan says of him, Joe is a deceptively simple writer who makes it look easy. His instincts and intuitions about the running experience give him complete control, complete confidence. When it comes to writing about running, Joe has perfect pitch. Fellow author Jim Fixx adds that Henderson is as good a mentor as anyone could be lucky enough to have.https://openprairie.sdstate.edu/prairiestriders_pubs/1193/thumbnail.jp

System architecture induces document architecture
No full textThe documentation of an architecture is as important as the architecture itself. Tasked with communicating the structure and behaviour of a system and its constituent components to various stakeholders, the documentation is not trivial to produce. It becomes even harder in open, modular systems where components can be replaced and reused in each progressive build. How should documentation for such systems be produced and how can it be made to easily evolve along with the system it describes? We propose that there is a close mapping between the system architecture and its documentation. We describe a relational model for the architecture of open systems, paying close attention to the property that certain components can be reused or replaced. We then use ideas from storytelling and a discourse theory called Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) to propose a narrative-based approach to architecture documentation; giving both a generic narrative template for component descriptions and a RST-based relational model for the document architecture. We show how the two models (system and documentation) map onto each other and use this mapping to demonstrate how document fragments can be stored, automatically extracted and collated to closely reflect the system’s architecture
Chef Jeff Henderson: If You Can See It, You Can Be It
No full textChef Jeff Henderson is an award-winning chef, motivational speaker, New York Times best-selling author, and Food Network television personality.
Henderson grew up on the tough streets of Central LA and San Diego. By the time he was 19, he was running a $35,000 a week drug operation. At 24, Henderson was arrested and sent to prison for ten years. It was while incarcerated that he discovered a passion for cooking and committed himself to turning his life around.
After spending nearly a decade behind bars and having no formal education, he struggled for years in the hospitality industry. But, with persistence and determination, he was able to achieve his dreams, eventually becoming the executive chef of Café Bellagio in Las Vegas.
His story was first told in the New York Times best-selling memoir, Cooked: My Journey from the Streets to the Stove. In his newest book, If You Can See It, You Can Be It (November 2013), Chef Jeff goes all-in on his mission to put tomorrow\u27s inspirational heroes and heroines from all backgrounds on the direct path to their dreams.
His newest television show, Family Style with Chef Jeff, demonstrates how good choices in the kitchen can lead to a life changing experience for the whole family. Henderson formerly was a host on Beat the Chefs, which premiered late summer 2012 on the Game Show Network
