  • Gruber Foundation Formed at Yale Yale Joins Sloan Digital Sky Survey
    Yale University Astronomy Department Newsletter Vol. 3 Fall 2011 No. 1 Yale joins Sloan Digital Sky Survey III Yale is now a fully participating member of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) Collaboration. Although Yale was not a member during the first two phases of SDSS, the suc- cess of SDSS and the excitement of Yale astronomers about the projects and data of SDSS-III led Yale to join now. Based on citations in refereed articles and meeting abstracts, SDSS has been rated as the telescope project with the biggest sci- entific impact in history, beating out even the Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck Telescopes (c.f. Madrid, Juan P. and Macchetto, Duccio 2009arXiv0901.4552M). The previous incarnations of SDSS have imaged 13,000 square degrees, corresponding to about a third of the en- tire sky. SDSS-III is taking spectra of interesting objects that were found in these images, through a program of four sur- veys that cover three scientific themes. The Baryon Oscil- lation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) studies dark energy and the geometry of space. (SEE SDSS-III, p. 4) SDSS-III Data Release 8 image from January 2011 Gruber Foundation formed at Yale with prizes and fellowships in astronomy and cosmology In May of 2011, Patricia and Peter Gruber officially formed the Gruber Founda- tion at Yale University, dedicated to the advancement of science, support of young scientists, global justice, and women’s rights.

    . A Short History of Hearsay Reform, with Particular Reference to Hoffman v. Palmer, Eddie Morgan and Jerry Frank Michael Ariens* "Few historians, however, hold themselves out as fictionists." Jerome Frank, The Place ofthe Expert in a Democratic Society 1 True, no man can be wholly apart from his fellows. But, if each of us is a promontory, yet the promontory reaches out beyond the social mainland to a point where others cannot intrude. ... It is a no-other-man's land, for others can't penetrate it, can't communicate with it. Jerome Frank, Judge Learned Hand1 Introduction On my summer vacation, I chanced upon the novel Foe by the South African writer 3 J.M. Coetzee. Foe is a modern reworking of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. In this modern retelling, Coetzee presents the story of the relation of author and subject, not the story of the adventures of a shipwrecked Englishman. In Foe, the authorial voice is that of Susan Barton, a castaway who ended up on the same island as Cruso and Friday. She, Cruso and Friday are "rescued" and taken by ship to England. En route, Cruso dies. Once in London, Susan Barton takes her story of Cruso and Friday to Daniel Foe, and finds that his interest is more in the story of her life and less in the story of Cruso 's adventures. Foe, chased by creditors, flees his house, into which Barton and Friday move. Barton later leaves, searching for Foe, whom she finally tracks down. Confronting Foe, 4 she says, "I am not a story, Mr.

  • 1700-1865 Martin Schmidt, Doct
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: INSTITUTIONAL PERSISTENCE AND CHANGE IN ENGLAND’S COMMON LAW: 1700-1865 Martin Schmidt, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Professor Peter Murrell, Department of Economics Institutions are widely regarded as important, even ultimate drivers of economic growth and performance. A recent mainstream of institutional economics has concentrated on the effect of persisting, often imprecisely measured institutions and on cataclysmic events as agents of noteworthy institutional change. As a consequence, institutional change without large-scale shocks has received little attention. In this dissertation I apply a complementary, quantitative-descriptive approach that relies on measures of actually enforced institutions to study institutional persistence and change over a long time period that is undisturbed by the typically studied cataclysmic events. By placing institutional change into the center of attention one can recognize different speeds of institutional innovation and the continuous coexistence of institutional persistence and change. Specifically, I combine text mining procedures, network analysis techniques and statistical approaches to study persistence and change in England’s common law over the Industrial Revolution (1700-1865). Based on the doctrine of precedent - a peculiarity of common law systems - I construct and analyze the apparently first citation network that reflects lawmaking in England. Most strikingly, I find large-scale change in the making of English common law around the turn of the 19th century - a period free from the typically studied cataclysmic events. Within a few decades a legal innovation process with low depreciation rates (1 to 2 percent) and strong past-persistence transitioned to a present-focused innovation process with significantly higher depreciation rates (4 to 6 percent) and weak past-persistence.

  • When Marriage Is Too Much: Reviving the Registered Partnership in a Diverse Society Abstract
    M ARY C HARLOTTE Y . C ARROLL When Marriage Is Too Much: Reviving the Registered Partnership in a Diverse Society abstract. In the years since same-sex marriage’s legalization, many states have repealed their civil union and domestic partnership laws, creating a marriage-or-nothing binary for couples in search of relationship recognition. This Note seeks to add to the growing call for legal recognition of partnership pluralism by illustrating why marriage is not the right fit—or even a realistic choice—for all couples. It highlights in particular the life-or-death consequences matrimony can bring for those reliant on government healthcare benefits because of a disability or a need for long- term care. Building upon interview data and a survey of state nonmarital partnership policies, it proposes the creation of a customizable marriage alternative: the registered partnership. author. Yale Law School, J.D. 2020; University of Cambridge, M.Phil. approved 2017; Rice University, B.A. 2016. I am grateful first and foremost to Anne Alstott, whose endless support, encouragement, and feedback enabled me to write this Note. I am further indebted to Frederik Swennen and Wilfried Rault for taking the time to speak with me about nonmarital partnerships in France and Belgium and to Kaiponanea T. Matsumura and Michael J. Higdon for invaluable guidance on nonmarital partnerships in the United States. Thanks also to the wonderful editors of the Yale Law Journal’s Notes & Comments Committee, especially Abigail Fisch, for their thoughtful comments; to the First- and Second-Year Editors, for their careful review of my Note; and to the Streicker Fund for Student Research, whose generosity made it possible for me to con- duct the research that informed this project.
