  • Brain Injury in Children and Youth: a Manual
    Brain Injury in Children and Youth A Manual for Educators Revised 2018 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In 2001, the Traumatic Brain injury (TBI) Manual was written as a joint effort between the Colorado Depart- ment of Education, the New Start Project within the Center for Community Participation at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado, and the Children’s Hospital Colorado. Since 2001, brain injury research and practice has changed significantly. In 2012, the Colorado Brain Injury Steering Committee, led by Karen McAvoy and Judy Dettmer, was instrumental in updating the TBI Manual and creating the stand alone spe- cial education eligibility category and criteria for TBI, which was formally adopted into the Colorado Rules for the Exceptional Children’s Educational Act (ECEA).

  • Cornell Article
    NICOLAS CORNELL Competition Wrongs abstract. In both philosophical and legal circles, it is typically assumed that wrongs depend upon having one’s rights violated. But within any market-based economy, market participants may be wronged by the conduct of other actors in the marketplace. Due to my illicit business tactics, you may lose profits, customers, employees, reputation, access to capital, or any number of other sources of value. This Article argues that such competition wrongs are an example of wrongs that arise without an underlying right, contrary to the typical philosophical and legal assumption. The Article thus draws upon various forms of business law to illustrate what is a conceptual point: that we can and do wrong one another in ways that do not involve violating our private entitlements but rather violating only public norms. author. Assistant Professor, University of Michigan Law School. This Article has benefitted from comments and suggestions from many others.

Beavers, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Robert Lyster, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ James A. Borland, Th.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date TALKING TO STRANGERS 3 Abstract In the television mock-documentary The Office, co-workers Jim and Pam tell the cameraman they are dating before they tell their fellow co-workers in the office. The cameraman sees them getting engaged before anyone in the office has a clue. Even the news of their pregnancy is witnessed first by the camera crew. Jim and Pam’s boss, Michael, and other employees, such as Dwight, Angela and others, also share this trend of self-disclosure to the cameraman. They reveal secrets and embarrassing stories to the cameraman, showing a private side of themselves that most of their co-workers never see. First the term “mock-documentary” is explained before specifically discussing the The Office. Next the terms and theories from scholarly sources that relate the topic of self-disclosure to strangers are reviewed. Consequential strangers, weak ties, the stranger- on-a-train phenomenon, and para-social interaction are studied in relation to the development of a new listening stranger theory.
