# Marquette Journal

\]

The ***Marquette Journal*** is an entirely student-produced magazine, run by the student media of Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

## About

Published quarterly, the *Journal* highlights aspects of college student life not covered in the more hard news oriented *Marquette Tribune* newspaper. The focus of the magazine is on personal and special interest stories, and also has a strong emphasis on photography.

## History

The *Marquette Journal* was first published in 1904, one of Marquette University's first student media outlets. During this time, one issue of the Journal was published per school year. In 1915, the Marquette Hilltop yearbook was first published, and the *Journal* transformed into a student literary magazine. The magazine was published for years in this format, but in the 1960s, the magazine began experimenting with publishing magazine feature articles along with the literary works of fiction that had previously dominated the Journal. In the decades that followed, the percentage of journalistic content versus the percentage of literary fiction changed from year to year, some years being almost completely literary and other years being almost completely feature writing. In the spring of 2006, the *Journal* staff began considering refocusing the *Journal* as a "student life magazine" entirely. The *Journal* replaced any literary content entirely with articles that related to Marquette's student body and the Milwaukee community as a whole. The *Journal*'s format as a student life magazine became permanent in Fall of 2007, under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Erin Sheehan.

## Staff

The official staff positions for the *Marquette Journal* have changed over the years in order to suit the needs of the organization. However, every year, one editor-in-chief is selected by the Diederich College of Communication Student Media Board. As of 2009, the official Journal staff is composed of an editor-in-chief, assistant editor, features editor, online content producer and copy chief. Also working on the *Journal* are a number of writers, copy editors, photographers and designers.

# Half Visconte

**Half Visconte** was an indie rock band from Tempe, Arizona, fronted by Scott Tennent and Rich Minardi. Tennent was owner and operator of the now-defunct label, This Argonaut Records, and the former manager of the Phoenix indie/art rock-music venue Modified Arts. At that time Mike Wright, original drummer, also owned The Argo which was a warehouse venue designed to support touring bands by the collection of donations and support of volunteer work offered by the local underground music community.

## History

In the late 1990s, singer/guitarist Scott Tennent ran the Phoenix art and music space, Modified Arts. There, he was known to sometimes step in and play solo sets to fill in empty slots during any given show. His musical gifts would also lead him to work with other local artists to create Half Visconte, which Hayden Blades at SLAM Magazine would call an "underrated band \[that\] was a unique addition to the shortage of truly alternative sounds in the industry in the late 90s and early 2000s."

During its short-lived existence, Half Visconte would release two records on Tennent's own This Argonaut Records before deciding to call it quits when members of the band decided to relocate to Chicago and New York, and the rest of the band did not wish to continue without them. When making their "break-up" announcement, the band also announced that they were finally going to release their debut LP when they were finished with their farewell tour. While this was certainly unorthodox, the band continued with its plan, touring through Texas, the Midwest, Chicago, the West Coast, and then finished with a final performance in Phoenix.

Upon finishing its tour in July 2000, Half Visconte holed itself up for three days in Phoenix's Livinghead Studios to produce its last, and quite possibly its best, recording: *Was it Fear*. Released on Sunset Alliance almost two years after the band's break-up, Adequacy.net would call the album "a wonder," Jeff Petermen at Action Attack Helicopters Magazine called it a disc "packed full of rock and roll and indie goodness," and before giving the album a score of 90%, Matt Shimmer at Indieville.com would simply state that "*Was It Fear?* is an amazing record."

title: Molecular tweezers

abstract: Molecular tweezers, and molecular clips, are host molecules with open cavities capable of binding guest molecules. The open cavity of the molecular tweezers may bind guests using non-covalent bonding, which includes hydrogen bonding, metal coordination, hydrophobic forces, van der Waals forces, π–π interactions, and/or electrostatic effects. These complexes are a subset of macrocyclic molecular receptors and their structure is that the two "arms" that bind the guest molecule between them are only connected at one end leading to a certain flexibility of these receptor molecules.

# Molecular tweezers

**Molecular tweezers**, and **molecular clips**, are host molecules with open cavities capable of binding guest molecules. The open cavity of the molecular tweezers may bind guests using non-covalent bonding, which includes hydrogen bonding, metal coordination, hydrophobic forces, van der Waals forces, π–π interactions, and/or electrostatic effects. These complexes are a subset of macrocyclic molecular receptors and their structure is that the two "arms" that bind the guest molecule between them are only connected at one end leading to a certain flexibility of these receptor molecules (induced fit model).

## History

The term "molecular tweezers" was first used by Whitlock. The class of hosts was developed and popularized by Zimmerman in the mid-1980s to early 1990s and later by Klärner.

## Examples

Some molecular tweezers bind aromatic guests. These molecular tweezers consist of a pair of anthracene arms held at a distance that allows aromatic guests to gain π–π interactions from both (see Figure). Other molecular tweezers feature a pair of tethered porphyrins.

Yet another type of molecular tweezers bind fullerenes. Such "buckycatchers" are composed of two corannulene pincers that complement the surface of the convex fullerene guest (Figure 2). An association constant (*K*a) of 8,600 M−1 was calculated using 1H NMR spectroscopy.

Stoermer and co-workers described clefts capable of capturing cyclohexane or chloroform molecules. Intriguingly, pi interactions played key roles in guest capture as well as cleft formation rate.

Water-soluble phosphate-substituted molecular tweezers made of alternating phenyl and norbornenyl substituents bind to positively charged aliphatic side chains of basic amino acids, such as lysine and arginine (Figure 3). Similar compounds called "molecular clips", whose side walls are flat rather than convex, prefer to enclose flat pyridinium rings (for example the nicotinamide ring of NAD(P)+) between their plane naphthalene sidewalls (Figure 4). These mutually exclusive binding modes make these compounds valuable tools for probing critical biological interactions of basic amino acid side chains in peptides and proteins as well as of NAD(P)+ and similar cofactors. For example, both types of compounds inhibit the oxidation reactions of ethanol by alcohol dehydrogenase or of glucose-6-phosphate by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, respectively.

The molecular tweezers, but not the clips, efficiently inhibit the formation of toxic oligomers and aggregates by amyloidogenic proteins associated with different diseases. Examples include the proteins involved in Alzheimer's disease – amyloid β-protein (Aβ) and tau; α-synuclein, which is thought to cause Parkinson's disease and other synucleinopathies and is involved in spinal-cord injury; mutant huntingtin, which causes Huntington's disease; islet amyloid polypeptide (amylin), which kills pancreatic β-cells in type-2 diabetes; transthyretin (TTR), which causes familial amyloid polyneuropathy, familial amyloid cardiomyopathy, and senile systemic amyloidosis; aggregation-prone mutants of the tumor-suppressor protein p53; and semen proteins whose aggregation enhances HIV infection. Importantly, the molecular tweezers have been found to be effective and safe not only in the test tube but also in animal models of different diseases, suggesting that they may be developed as drugs against diseases caused by abnormal protein aggregation, all of which currently have no cure. They were also shown to destroy the membranes of enveloped viruses, such as HIV, herpes, and hepatitis C, which makes them good candidates for development of microbicides.

The above examples show the potential reactivity and specificity of these molecules. The binding cavity between the side arms of the tweezer can evolve to bind to an appropriate guest with high specificity, depending on the configuration of the tweezer. That makes this overall class of macromolecule truly synthetic molecular receptors with important application to biology and medicine.

# Pearl Kibre

**Pearl Kibre** (September 2, 1900 — July 15, 1985) was an American historian. She won a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1950 for her work on medieval science and universities.

## Early life and education

Pearl Kibre was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Kenneth Kibre, a Jewish optometrist born in Odessa, and Jane du Pione Kibre. She moved to California as a girl with her parents; she attended Manual Arts High School in Los Angeles. Kibre attended the University of California at Berkeley as an undergraduate (1924) and master's (1925) student, and completed doctoral studies at Columbia University in 1936, with Lynn Thorndike as her mentor. She taught at Pasadena Junior College for a few years before resuming graduate work. (Her sister Adele Kibre also earned a Ph.D., in Latin Language and Literature, from the University of Chicago.)

## Career

Pearl Kibre "helped lay the foundations for the contemporary study of medieval science and medieval universities." She was on the faculty of Hunter College from 1937 until she retired in 1971. She helped found the doctoral program in history at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

In 1950 she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to travel to European archives to study medieval universities. She became a corresponding member of the International Academy of the History of Science in 1960. Kibre was a member of the International Committee of Historical Sciences, the United States Subcommission for the History of Universities, and the editorial board of *Medieval and Renaissance Latin Translations and Commentaries*. She was elected a fellow of the Medieval Academy of America in 1964, the same year she won the Haskins Medal from the same organization.

Books by Pearl Kibre included *The Library of Pico della Mirandola* (1936), *A Catalogue of Incipits of Mediaeval Scientific Writings in Latin* (1937, revised 1963, with Lynn Thorndike), *The Nations in the Mediaeval Universities* (1948), *Scholarly Privileges in the Middle Ages* (1962), *Hippocrates Latinus: Repertorium of Hippocratic Writings in the Latin Middle Ages, Volume 3* (1975), *Studies in Medieval Science: Alchemy, Astrology, Mathematics, and Medicine* (1984). In addition, an edited volume of essays was collected in her honor, *Science, Medicine, and the University, 1200-1500* (1976); and she contributed to the *Didascaliae*, a volume of research using materials from the Vatican Library, presented to the Vatican in 1961.

## Death and legacy

Pearl Kibre died in 1985, aged 84 years, at her home in New York City.

The Pearl Kibre Medieval Study is a study space maintained by an interdisciplinary graduate student organization at The Graduate Center, CUNY, begun in 1972 and named in her honor.

**Half Tree Hollow** is the smallest by area of the eight districts of the island of Saint Helena, part of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic Ocean. It is a suburb of Jamestown and is situated at the top of Ladder Hill, which forms the southern side of the James Valley, at the base of which sits Jamestown. The hill was fortified in the late 1700s, and Ladder Hill Fort was subsequently built. The village grew during the 1960s because the James Valley lacked any room for expansion.

## Description

The district is bounded by the contours of Ladder Hill and is essentially a flat plateau.

Half Tree Hollow is the largest settlement in Saint Helena, with a population exceeding that of the territory's capital of Jamestown. Its population has fluctuated from 901 in 1998 to 1,140 in 2008 and 1,034 in 2021.

## History

Ladder Hill was initially known as Fort Hill, even though it was not initially fortified. It was first used by the East India Company as an execution ground with the gibbet visible from Jamestown for the moral edification of the population. The first road to Ladder Hill was completed in 1770, and construction of fortifications on the seaward side of the hill began around 1790. Additional works were built over the next several decades, and the complex was known as Ladder Hill Fort by 1815. The fort was reinforced and expanded while Napoleon was in exile in St. Helena (1815–21), and the 20th Regiment of Foot is known to have been garrisoned there in 1819. Additional barracks and officer's quarters were built during the 1820s.

A funicular was built to connect Jamestown and the fort in 1829. The cars and rails were removed in 1871 and it was converted into a staircase, commonly known as Jacob's Ladder.

# Marshall Waller Clifton

**Marshall Waller Clifton** (1 November 1787  10 April 1861), commonly referred to as **Waller Clifton**, was an English civil servant, coloniser and politician in Western Australia.

## History

Clifton was born 1 November 1787 at Alverstoke, near Gosport, Hampshire, England, to Rev. Francis Clifton and Rebekah Katherine Clifton (née Bingham).

He joined the Admiralty as an extra clerk on 9 September 1805, and was promoted to junior clerk on 15 March 1811, 2nd class clerk on 5 February 1816, and 1st class clerk on 21 August 1819.

On 2 July 1811, Clifton married Elinor Bell (of Wandle House, Wandsworth, London, a first cousin, close friend and co-religionist of Elizabeth Fry, the famous Quaker prison reformer). Clifton and Elinor had fifteen children, one of whom died as a baby. Eleven of these children later came to Western Australia with their parents in 1841, and one followed later (George, as a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy in 1843, and again 1851–64).

On 22 January 1822, Clifton was appointed secretary to the Victualling Board for the Royal Navy at Somerset House. In 1828 he was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society. After the position of secretary to the Victualling Board was abolished in 1832, he was retired on a pension and moved his family to France for eight years.

In 1840 the Western Australian Land Company was formed in London to promote a large land settlement scheme in the Colony of Western Australia. This was planned by a group of influential men including William Hutt, M.P. (brother of John Hutt, Governor of Western Australia from 1838 to 1846) and Edward Gibbon Wakefield, upon whose principles of colonisation the company was founded. Clifton was appointed Chief Commissioner and his son, Robert Williams Clifton (1817–1897), was appointed his secretary.

The name of the settlement, Australind, a contraction of Australia and India, was chosen as it was hoped to establish trade between the two countries.

Clifton and his family and other first settlers of the Australind region sailed to Australia on the barque *Parkfield* in October 1840, arriving at Port Leschenault (Bunbury) on 18 March 1841. In 1841 Clifton was appointed magistrate and Justice of the Peace. However approval for the settlement was not finalised until 6 April 1842, and which Clifton was allocated a parcel of land at 15 Clifton Road, which he named "Alverstoke" and on which the original house still stands today.

The Western Australian Land Company collapsed in 1843, ceasing all operations in Western Australia within 3 years and the settlers were left to fend for themselves.

Clifton's children became prominent members of society in Bunbury, Australind and Brunswick, several occupying important positions such as Resident Magistrate (Pearce), Inspector of Water Police (George, who later returned to England and became Governor of Dartmoor Prison), member of the Town Trust (Pearce), Collector of Customs at Fremantle (Worsley). At one time, the Under Secretary for Lands, the Under Treasurer and the Surveyor General were all grandsons of Clifton. In 1897 about twenty of his grandchildren held senior offices in the Western Australian public service.

Elinor Clifton imported from England a prefabricated building (perhaps a Manning's portable cottage of which the Friends' Meeting House, Adelaide was a large example) as a meeting house, hoping to attract other settlers as "Friends". In 1847 Clifton moved to Upton House, which had been built from bricks brought from England as ballast on the *Trusty* when it arrived in May 1844. They had been intended for a house for Elizabeth Fry, but after her death in 1845 her husband sold them Clifton.

In 1844 he was appointed to the Leschenault Road Board, and in 1851 he became a member of the Western Australian Legislative Council. He became known for fighting for the rights of the small landholders, which caused friction with the larger landholders and merchants of the Colony. He remained in the Legislative Council until the age of 71, resigning in 1858.

Clifton died at Upton House on 10 April 1861 after a long illness. His obituary in *The Perth Gazette and Independent Journal of Politics and News* of 19 April 1861 reads:

> "It is with much regret that we record in our obituary of this day the death of Marshall Waller Clifton, Esq., of Australind. From his first arrival in the Colony, 20 years ago, to the period of his death, Mr. Clifton occupied a prominent position amongst us. When in the Legislative Council he was one of its most active and intelligent members. As a Horticulturist he was pre-eminent, the practical results of his various experiments in that branch of science leaving him no compeer. As the country gentleman, he was the personification of hospitality; whilst his agreeable manners, well-stored mind, and hilarity of spirits enhanced in no small degree the pleasures of his way-faring guests. In his family relations Mr. Clifton was in all respects patriarchal, and although he lived and died 'amidst a grove of his own kindred', there were many absent ones to grieve over his loss. In society at large he leaves a blank, as all must feel who have appreciated his presence during those periodical visits he was wont to pay to Perth and Fremantle; when, as 'The observed of all observers' his elasticity of spirits and 'Bonhommie' served to create, at least, a pleasing ripple upon the too often monotonous surface of our every day life."

*Perth Gossip*, a play by Canon Alfred Burton, was produced for the West Australian Historical Society in November 1933 at the Karrakatta Club, and again at the Burt Memorial Hall on 8 May 1934. The play was set in the drawing-room of Upton House, and centred around a visit from Archdeacon Wollaston (played by Burton), with the Clifton family (Marshall Waller Clifton, his Quaker wife, and children Mrs Johnston, Mrs George Eliot and Pearce Clifton) pumping him for gossip about other settlers. Several latter-day members of the family were in the cast.

# Wisconsin Department of Revenue v. William Wrigley Jr. Co.

***Wisconsin Department of Revenue v. William Wrigley Jr. Co.***, 505 U.S. 214 (1992), is a case decided by the United States Supreme Court regarding the application of state franchise taxes to out-of-state businesses.

## Background

In 1980, the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (WDR) decided that the in-state activities of the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company in selling and supplying retailers with chewing gum exceeded limits defined by Congress in 1961 that exempted foreign corporations from franchise and income taxes in a state as long as their activities were limited to soliciting customers. Wrigley, based in Chicago, neither owned nor leased any real property in the state. Its employees were limited to a regional sales manager, who worked out of his house, and district sales representatives who dealt directly with retailers. The company provided the representatives with cars and reimbursed some of their expenses. Nevertheless, WDR believed that since the sales reps also stored gum and personally resupplied retailers, including replacement of stale gum stocks at no cost, the company did more than just solicit customers in Wisconsin.

Wrigley felt that it was exempt from Wisconsin taxation under the Interstate Income Act of 1959 (15 U.S.C. § 381 *et seq*.), which provides that "states cannot impose a 'net income tax' on 'any person' if the only contact with a state is limited to the solicitation of orders for sales of tangible personal property". A "legal person" can be an individual or a corporate body.

## Wisconsin calls for taxation

Wisconsin believed that the presence of Wrigley in the state was enough to call for a franchise tax. The state believed that Wrigley was not afforded protection under Public Law 86-272, because it violated solicitation by the following practices:

* Recruitment, training, and evaluation of sales employees by regional manager
* Intervention in credit disputes by regional manager
* Use of hotel rooms and homes for sales meetings
* Replacement of stale gum at no cost to retailer
* "Agency stock checks"  billing of retailer for gum supplied from in-state inventory to fill display racks
* Storage of gum in sales representatives' homes or in rented space

## View of litigants

The state argued for the narrowest possible view: that any activity beyond “asking the customer to purchase the product” removed the protection of P.L.86-272. It also argued that activities leading up to the sale may be protected, but any activities taking place after the sale are more than solicitation.

Wrigley argued for a broad interpretation: that “solicitation” should encompass all ordinary business activities that generally accompany the solicitation process. According to Wrigley, all activities normally assigned to sales reps should be considered solicitation.

## Result

The Court found that Wrigley’s activities in Wisconsin exceeded the provisions of the state code and allowed the imposition of the tax. The Court ruled that the replacement of stale gum, "agency stock checks", and maintenance of inventory for those purposes were not protected, and the Court sided with the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.

# Mississippi Highway 429

**Mississippi Highway 429** (**MS 429**) is a 21.7-mile-long (34.9 km) highway in the Mississippi counties of Leake and Attala. The highway runs through mostly rural areas of these counties except near its northern terminus where MS 429 heads through the town of Sallis.

## Route description

MS 429's southern terminus is in a rural area of Leake County, about 2.7 miles (4.3 km) south of Conway and seven miles (11 km) northwest of Carthage. This point is located at the intersection of Conway Road and Red Dog Road; Red Dog Road is the continuation of MS 429. The state highway heads northwest through a wooded area, making some bends around Smith Creek, before entering an older swath of trees as it crosses the Yockanookany River. After passing an abandoned high school, MS 429 intersects the Natchez Trace Parkway. Containing another 12 mile (0.80 km), it intersects MS 43 in the community of Thomastown where some small businesses, a post office, and houses are present. The road heads north through more woodlands, crossing many underground pipelines through this area. MS 429 reaches the settlement of Bolatusha where a Methodist church and cemetery are located. As it heads further north, the highway crosses into Attala County and passes through some farms before reaching MS 14 at the settlement of Zemuly.

The two highways form a concurrency where MS 429 physically travels west along westbound MS 14. Heading through a mix of houses, open fields, and woods, MS 14 ends its concurrency at the settlement of Newport and resumes a northerly heading. The highway travels through woods, then some open fields line the road as it crosses small streams. Now starting to approach Sallis, MS 429 passes an elementary school and crosses Long Creek. It enters the town of Sallis, passes an abaondoned Illinois Central Railroad crossing, and reaches the southern terminus of MS 431 at Front Street. Around the Front Street intersection, the state highway fronts the town post office and a general store. Heading up a small hill, MS 429 passes a Baptist church, many houses, and a cemetery before exiting the corporate limits of Sallis. About 14 mile (0.40 km) from the town line, MS 429 ends at an intersection with MS 12 where the road continues north as County Road 4222.

## History

The first part of MS 429 that was incorporated into the state highway system was an unnumbered spur from MS 12 to Sallis created around 1951. MS 429 was formally created around 1955 running from Goodman, crossing the Big Black River, traveling to Newport, then traveling north to Sallis and MS 12. The initial construction was performed by Holmes and Attala counties by upgrading existing bridges and roads to state highway standards. By 1957, however, the road from Goodman to Newport and west became part of MS 14 and MS 429 was changed to extend south from MS 14 to the Leake County line. It was extended further south to the Natchez Trace Parkway by 1960, to a point near Carthage by 1965, and to MS 35 in Carthage by 1967.

The 8-mile (13 km) portion of Red Dog Road to Carthage had never formally had maintenance taken over by the state and remains under county and local control to this day. This segment was formally removed from the state numbered system between 1996 and 1998. However, signage along MS 35 and MS 25 specifically denote northbound Red Dog Road as "To MS 429."

# Peel Street, Hong Kong

**Peel Street** is located in Central, Hong Kong. It is named after Sir Robert Peel, a two-time British prime minister.

## History

The road was built in the 1840, at the start of the colonial era, and named for British prime minister Sir Robert Peel. Initially settled by Westerners, Chinese took over the area in the 1870s, and the expatriates had all but gravitated towards Conduit Road in the Mid-Levels by about the 1950s.

Wai Siu-pak, founder of Yee Tin Tong pharmacy, once lived in Wise Mansion, a large house at the top of Peel Street next to Robinson Road. The section of Peel Street between Hollywood Road and Staunton Street was known for its calligraphers specialised in making signboards in the 1950s and 1960s. The part below Hollywood Road was well known for its Indian curry restaurants. However, expensive rents have driven these trades out of the area, which is now populated by modern tower blocks. The century-old Graham Street market is situated at the lower reaches of Peel Street.

## Features

Peel Street is a small street starting from the Queen's Road Central and reaches upwards into the Mid-Levels. At the lower end, there is a fresh food market. At the upper end, there are many eateries, both traditional and trendy. There was also the Ho Hei Kee Umbrella (何希記造遮), run by Ho Hung-hei, which had attracted the attention of many mass media. Ho died in 2015 after closing his shop in 2014.

There is a shrine dedicated to Pak Kung (伯公) in Peel Street, just below the junction with Staunton Street.

## Redevelopment plan

Urban Renewal Authority declared Peel Street/Graham Street redevelopment project. As the project is located at the historical Central street market, it aroused much attention on the conservation of culture.

# Half Way Home (band)

**Half Way Home** was a popular band from Los Angeles, California, that had a dedicated following based on years of constant gigging and touring across the United States. Half Way Home made their mark in the Los Angeles club scene, eventually drawing the attention of Geffen Records after becoming a regular presence at the Troubadour and other popular clubs in the city.

## History

Half Way Home was formed in 1986 by guitarist Dean Zuckerman, bassist Eddie Fagin, drummer Kevin Costigan, and singer Jennifer Barry with the band name officially used for the first time at a gig on November 6, 1987. The band members were all from Los Angeles, CA. and played locally at backyard parties and similar casual events to build a dedicated fan base. By the end of 1988, Half Way Home was established and started playing gigs alongside Grateful Dead style cover bands that were popular at the time in Los Angeles (e.g. The Pur'p'l Tur't'lz). In Los Angeles, these bands often played festival type events together at outdoor venues during the Summertime, drawing large crowds of music fans for the concerts (e.g. The Extravaganza (music festival), May 22, 1993). Half Way Home were eventually headlining regular gigs at nightclubs such as The Country Club, the Palomino Club, and The Troubador. The band toured across the country picking up new fans along the way, building a mailing list of thousands of dedicated fans. Half Way Home eventually grew a large enough fan base, from "metalheads to deadheads," to attract significant attention in the music industry. The band was signed to Geffen records in 1991.

In the early 1990s the band released two albums. First, they released an 8-song self-produced and self-titled album "Half Way Home," as gift for their large following of loyal fans. This 1992 first release was very limited and was only sold at shows and through the mail. In fact, Half Way Home was one of the earliest bands to attempt to build their fan base through direct marketing and band loyalty, using mailing lists, 800 numbers, and alternative avenues to promote their new album. The second album, released through Geffen Records in 1993, and also titled "Half Way Home," was reviewed positively by critics, but was heavily produced with little effective input from the band. The album sold poorly and was not promoted heavily by Geffen because of the newly found grunge scene that came alive around the same time, and also because of the "grassroots" marketing approach Geffen chose to take. The band broke up in 1994 though some members of the band were auditioning for a new singer as early as 1993. The band has never reunited and the band name was officially cancelled in 1998.

Dean Zuckerman and Kevin Costigan formed a band called "Slush" in 1996, and they released one album titled "North Hollywood" in 1997. Jennifer Barry has contributed background vocals to several releases by Ugly Kid Joe, and was featured on the 2001 album Freedom, a tribute to Rage Against the Machine, singing lead on the popular song Year of the Boomerang. Eddie Fagin contributed to the soundtrack for The Cable Guy starring Jim Carey.

In 1999, the band, minus bassist Eddie Fagin, reunited for a short time playing around the Los Angeles club scene as the Jenny Barry Band, with the last performance under that name in 2002. Today, Half Way Home currently enjoys a presence on the popular social media sites YouTube and Facebook, mostly supported by fans, with no plans of reuniting in the near future.
