No, The Fifth Amendment Does Not Complicate Net Neutrality
from the oh-please dept
The key problem is defining the internet as a a private broadband network, when in nearly every case, the broadband infrastructure involved includes tremendous use of government granted rights of ways and other government subsidies. If the telcos actually had built their network entirely on their own and negotiated privately with land owners for rights of way, they might have a point on this one. But they didn't and they don't.
However, the paper pretends that the internet is a purely private network:
The purpose of the "open internet" initiative is to prevent broadband providers from controlling which third-party content and application providers can use their networks to deliver information to end-user consumers. In essence, these third parties receive an unlimited, continuous right of access to broadband providers' private property. This access allows them to physically invade broadband networks with their electronic signals and permanently occupy portions of network capacity, all without having to pay the network provider for access. The effect is to appropriate the use of these private networks for the public's benefit, in the form of unfettered and nondiscriminatory access to the content and applications of the consumer's choosing.Almost none of that accurately represents the situation. Content and service providers are not "invading" (especially not physically) anyone's private network at all. Nothing can be further from the truth. They have, instead, put themselves out on the open internet, and these service providers chose to connect to the open internet allowing their users to request such content. The content and service providers are doing nothing proactive, especially nothing that deserves the grossly misleading "invading" moniker.
Lyons then tries to twist this into a claim that it's like an easement on physical property. Again, this is simply untrue. The third parties are not proactively going onto anyone's network. They have set themselves up and connected directly to the open internet (via their own ISPs to which they pay handsomely for bandwidth) and the only times their content crosses those other networks is when the end users (i.e., the customers of these ISPs) reach out and request that the content be sent to their computer. That's how the open internet works. If the ISPs don't like it, they shouldn't have offered an internet service. To twist this and claim that the internet is somehow a "private network" of these ISPs and service providers who connect to the open internet are somehow "invading" that private network is the height of sophistry.
Effectively, you could take Lyons' twisted reasoning and apply it to nearly any government regulation. Taxes? Clearly an unjustified "taking" of someone's private property. Highway speed limits? An unjustified "taking" of the private owners' use of their own automobile. It's not hard. Try it with some other laws. Lyons tries to get around this by suggesting the key is the "right to exclude." But this is also wrong. It assumes that the ISP controls the wider internet, rather than its own network. Yes, a telco has every right to not connect to the internet. But once it does, it's expected to abide by the overall rules of the internet. If it wants to "exclude," then it doesn't need to hook up to the internet.
There are some other factual problems with the paper, such as suggesting that the telcos developed DSL in response to the success of cable modem services. That's not quite accurate. While DSL did lag cable slightly in implementation, cable was not widely deployed when DSL came on the market. The two were more or less developed in parallel.
I have no doubt that this argument will likely come into play in the upcoming fight over the FCC's attempt to reclassify broadband access, but it seems like an excessively weak claim that I hope no court would seriously consider. There are much more serious issues to focus on, including whether or not the sort of change is actually within the FCC's mandate.

John Curtis Tolliday
His mother was Jane Curtis who was born in 1799. She married Nathaniel Tolliday.
John had siblings Susan, Elizabeth, Christiana and William.
John and sister Susan were the same age according to a Census compiled so maybe they were twins. Or born very close together.
I am not sure what happened to Susan at this stage. Or if I have the information wrong. I will get back to that eventually. She did not travel to Australia with the others.
After his father Nathaniel drowned in 1853, his mother Jane and his brother William and sisters Elizabeth and Christiana along with his wife Sarah Miles and Elizabeth's husband Charles Clark migrated to Australia.
The ship British Empire left Southhampton on October 17th 1854 and arrived at Port Henry, Geelong, Victoria on January 15th 1855.
John was married to Sarah and had two daughters at the time of sailing, Fanny and Eva. He was born in 1827 and died 14th August 1902 buried at Ballarat New Cemetery.
His sister Elizabeth was married to Charles Clark at the time of the voyage and they hadan infant daughter called Jane.
His brother William married Priscilla Martha Barton 21st August 1862 in Ballarat. He was born in 1837 and died 28th January 1887 at Allendale and buired at Creswick, Victoria.
His mother Jane died on August 10th 1886. She is buried at Smythesdale, Victoria. Not sure if there is a headstone on the grave as at 2007.
His sister Christiana married Agnon Charles Numa on 9th August 1856 in Ballarat.
Jane Tolliday nee Curtis from Cambridge
Jane Curtis was born in 1799. She was married to Nathaniel Tolliday.
and they had children Susan, John, Elizabeth, Christiana, William.
Nathaniel drowned in 1853 and Jane and her four children along with two spouses and three grand daughters migrated to Australia the following year.
John was married and he and his wife Sarah were accompanied by their two daughters. Whilst Elizabeth and her husband Charles had their infant daughter with them.
The ship British Empire left Southhampton on October 17th 1854 and arrived at Port Henry, Geelong, Victoria on January 15th 1855.
John and Susan were the same age according to a Census compiled so maybe they were twins. Or born very close together.
William married Priscilla Martha Barton 21st August 1862 in Ballarat.
They had ten children :- Nathaniel John born 1863, Christiana born 1865, William born 1867, Priscilla Martha born 1870, John born 1872, George William born 1874, Frederick Numa born 1876, Alfred Barton born 1879, Sarah Elizabeth born 1883, Alice born 1886.
William was born in 1837 in England and died 28th January 1887 at Allendale and buried at Creswick, Victoria.

Those children's names are:- John Robert, William Curtiss, Alfred John, Charles, Robert Porcher, Sarah Elizabeth, Ernest Montague, Jane Elizabeth and Albert. 7 sons and 4 daughters.
John Curtis Tolliday was born in 1827 in Cambridgeshire and died 14th August 1902 and is buried at the Ballarat New Cemetery.
Elizabeth was married to Charles Jonas Clark and they had a little girl named Jane on board when they travelled too. I am not sure how old she was, being called an infant, to me would mean she was born in the year they sailed namely 1854.
Christiana married Agnon Charles Numa on 9th August 1856 in Ballarat.
Jane died on August 10th 1886. She is buried at Smythesdale, Victoria. The family got together and a memorial plaque was placed at the gravesite.
I have written many journals on this Tolliday family and their descendants and they are listed and easy to find. I have also made a Tribal Page family tree. You are welcome to have a look at it if you wish.
Drop me a line and I will tell you how to gain access to the site.
Best of luck with your research.

I think this second episode confirms the little issue I had with the first episode: it is quite the irony, but they stick to the VN script a tad too much to the point it is way too slow (the first half jabs and all are quite too slow in their execution, so there is some "momentum break", an evident example would be the title gain). But because they do things a bit in a half assed way, some parts are just redundant: Masato and Kengo's fight doesn't look like a fight at all if you ask me, and adding the game SFX while the visuals don't match is is a bit on the random side.
At least, the baseball sequence flows way better, with the tsukkomi-antics being smoother.
I think the series might go too linear at some point, due to how they tackle only a character per episode, which doesn't make much sense with the setup (at least, good to see they show the issues Rin has with other classmates, otherwise we might have the impression there isn't really anyone else aside of the main cast).
Also, I can't help but wonder why they put such a tone on Riki's narcolepsy, as if it was a severe ilness (so the "cliffhanger" at the end was sort of too dramatic for its own good).

Shimada's doing a fine job on scripts so far IMO, and I feel like the jokes hit their target a bit better than they did in episode 1. But that might just be me getting excited over seeing all those scenes again. Komari's even cuter than she was in the VN, loved her interactions with Rin! Kyousuke's recruitment was great too, he's such a nut. I also think the narcolepsy was presented too dark, but I'll reserve judgment on that until they address it next week.
Overall another fun episode, the plot/character introductions might be moving a bit slowly still but all Key adaptations are similar in that case.

Great episode. I actually liked how they did komaris introduction more then i did in the VN and i rather like the direction the episode took. The jokes are much better timed now and the same goes for the music. So 9 out of 10.

Great episode. Komari... lol. Quirky characters are the best! <3 optimism. The whole flow of the episode was just about perfect for a second episode. The narcolepsy/himitsu thing was a little jarring though, ruined my enjoyment just a teeny bit, of what otherwise seemed to be a very light-hearted episode. All in all very satisfied, hope they keep it up!

Even when art/animation wasn't the great wonder (over all some Kamikita's shots), actually think this chapter was really, but quite better directed than the previous one.
Nagai's hand might have helped in this. (although he did only the Storyboard think)
And unlike the rest here, I loved the way they handled the "narcolepsy/world secret" concepts, since it comes to break somehow with that "lack of direction/sustance" feeling that most people may have had with the first episode. In fact, that contrast between mere light-hearted slice and those dark/intriguing moments without prior notice like here now, were the things I liked the most from the VN.
The other good thing is, that the preview seems truly good in its animation side. We have to get used to that JC inconsistency at this point. Though, I conform with a good direction.

Just finished watching the subbed second episode of Little Budget. Thought the pacing/narration was better this episode.

Just want to remind game players that we do have a Weekly Anime-to-VN Comparison Thread. If your main comment is just going to be comparing how the anime adapted the game content, probably better to go there.

Much better than the first episode, although that wasn't bad in any way either. It does feel lesser in animation quality than other KEY works, but I'll just grab the Blu-Ray version when they finally get around to releasing it on disks.
Really excited to see more.

This episode was definitely better than the first. The artwork and animation were improved, to about average level now, considering it was below average for the first episode. Still, no one knows how to blink in this anime. The intro still has good animation and artwork, but I know not to expect that for the episodes themselves.
The story and scenes felt more like Key in this episode as well. I definitely love the new character, Komari, even if her intellect is that of a 6 year old in a fully developed high schooler body. Strangely, though, she still makes more sense than a lot of the cast right now, but I'm guessing we will get more background story eventually to explain why the characters are the way they are.
I also noticed that the anime is playing itself off like a game so far, like Masato gaining some sort of nickname status after each defeat. It also seems like missions are given, and they must complete the tast in order to move on to the next item. Add on top of that, each character is recruited one by one in a systematic way. This might be okay for a game, but seriously, this is anime and should be done that way. The flow is too game-like right now. I hope it flows better in future episodes.

As an anime only viewer, my lingering 2nd impression of this episode is, what a bunch of morons. Not only Rin, but the rest of the group pitched in to clean the storage shack without, apparently, asking why. I can see it now, after completing all that tasks, which will probably be similar tasks designed to clean up the school, Rin learns the big secret: she's a moron for doing all those tasks. I can understand why Kamikita helped, as she thought it was the new baseball team's club room, but, geez, who in there right mind would comply with mysterious, anonymous messages tied to a cat? Now we know: a bunch of morons.
On the other hand, the opening scenes with Komari-chan and Riki were quite fun. Komari-chan is quite the character. The way she swayed Kyousuke with her enthusiasm was great. And her relentless pursuit of Rin's friendship, particularly pretending to be hurt so Rin would get close enough so she could tickle her, was quite amusing.
I think this is the first anime that I have watched that included a character that suffers from narcolepsy. As such, I didn't find it too dark or too dramatic, since it was from Riki's first person perspective. I can imagine that it could get pretty annoying, to say the least. Just imagine suddenly falling asleep at the wheel.

Masato getting a title is part of a mini-game in the VN. It's a for fun side thing that has nothing to do with the main story at all. They skipped the explanation on how it worked but you can probably guess most of the details.

Another great episode. As someone who's being introduced to the LB world for the first time, I can say I already like the characters and the whole story setup, even if the premise seemed a tad ridiculous. This anime will create a strong feeling of bond within the group and thus evoke my sympathy as well, I can tell that already.
I found the jokes to be well delivered again, and they felt fresh compared to what can be seen in an average anime. Kamikita-chan was adorable, almost too much, but the silliness factors in nicely to balance that out. I think she'll be fun to watch. Did not like the anteater part but I realize this sort of thing is somewhat necessary in a VN adaptation (I'll just ignore things like that). This episode was pretty darn well animated, I like the style better than the one in Angel Beats! for now. If they can keep this up, I'll soon forget that LB anime wasn't bestowed with the godly KyoAni craftsmanship.
The secret notes and the narcolepsy got me interested already, and add some depth to the plot (the latter will definitely have something to do with the supernatural).
Looking forward to the next one .

A Call to Action
Brother and Sister patriots the time is upon, the critical hour, in which we are or will be compelled to take action against the socialist tyrants that are attempting to take what our founding fathers fought, and thought so hard to create. Make no mistake my fellow countrymen and women, and let me be perfectly clear, these thoughts and arguments are not based on race, and I hold no party affiliation other that affiliation to our Lord Jesus Christ who by His own sacrifice granted us the freedoms that we have enjoyed in this the greatest nation in the world.
Brother and Sister I call your attention to the recent events of the past year. The citizens of this, or shall I say the voters of this country have elected the first black president. This in itself is a historical event. However, is saddens my heart to now see that my worst fears are being confirmed. Our president and those who are in control in our government are proving to be socialist, or at least have those tendencies. I can see no way that they will be able to impose their views for the future of this country upon us and be able to say with a clear consciences that they have been loyal to the American values laid down by great men such as Washington, Adams, Monroe, Franklin, Jefferson, and all the patriots who shed their life blood to create this great democracy we enjoy today.
Brothers and Sisters I charge each of you to pay close attention to what your government is attempting to do. Pay close attention to the attempts to institute government run healthcare. It seems to me that this is the key that they will use to unleash the socialist movement upon the citizens of our republic. This issue alone will give them access to control every aspect of our lives. for all things can be linked to healthcare. All things in you life, brothers and sisters, can be determined to be or good or bad depending on the agenda they wish to enforce. For instance, they may attempt to take your weapons and firearms by using the argument that care for the injuries caused by these weapons are too costly. In much the same way tobacco will cost the system money, cheese burgers will cost the system money, fried chicken will cost them money, and as you can see just about any thing they want will be negative on the progressive socialist system that they wish to impose.
Brothers and Sisters these are ruthless people. They will go to any and all lengths to accomplish their agenda, implement their programs, and further their cause because they believe you are not smart enough or courageous enough to make informed decisions for yourself or for you family. It seems to me that the way they will accomplish their agenda is through the IRS. Higher taxes are coming our way patriots. After the taxes, they will seek to silence any opposition to the agenda by shutting down all opposing views both private and public. Patriots must stand up, and speak up for LIBERTY, for that is what this paper is about.
As a patriot I have decided that I must make these views known. These views are more likely than not shared by countless other patriots out there who are afraid to speak out. It is my belief that our, the patriot reform action, must start on the local level. We must clearly tell our local leaders that a republican form of government is the only one we will accept. Only a republic democracy that is fiscally conservative will be allowed. The liberal "pissing off of public money" will not be accepted at any level. The government can only exist to protect the citizens and provide them with basic services such as protection, and law enforcement and services of such. All other aspects of individual life must be left to the individual alone as set forth in the CONSTITUTION of THE UNITED STAES OF AMERICA! We must start by making it clear to our local leaders that we will not tolerate our rights being infringed upon by those elected to protect those rights, that we put those public leaders in their positions and we can remove them. We, as patriots, must make it clear through public voices and demonstrations such as TEA Party movements that it does not matter if they are of the Democrat or Republican Party affiliation. They will be judged solely on their lower case "r" republican views, or a republic form of government "of the people, for the people, and by the people". Elected leaders of the Patriot party must embrace the ideals and values set forth by our founding fathers, and embodied by the CONSTITUTION. The rights of all citizens must be observed and protected from abuse by the government be it local, state, or federal. Our government is accountable to us and only us, but we are not accountable to it.
Brothers and Sisters there will be hard times ahead of us. We will struggle for years to come because we have allowed our government to grow into an unmanageable mutation of the intended form. We must start today on the journey, the same kind of journey our founding fathers undertook, to take control of our destiny and secure a bright and prosperous further for our children and grandchildren.
Brothers and Sisters I hope that this writing will inspire you to make you government answer to you, and not you to it. I encourage you to keep the faith, to fight the fight as you see fit, and always remember to tell them DON'T TREAD ON ME!

The city council approved between -$705,000 to $901,000 in new city infrastructure improvements at its regular Tuesday night meeting.
The city council approved between -$705,000 to $901,000 in new city infrastructure improvements at its regular Tuesday night meeting. The new improvements are divided into three main projects: • The 11th Street project will consist of full street reconstruction, including storm water basins, curb and gutter work. The street will be built to a ton-ton standard doe to the high volume of use of loaded grain vehicles in the autumn. The estimated cost for this project is $273,000. • The Schmahl Drive project will consist of a full reconstruction, including sewer, water, curb gutter, residential hookups, and driveway restorations. It includes boring a water line from Schmahl Drive on Cook Street to Sunrise Blvd, and provide improved water service to Reede Gray Elementary School. Estimated cost of this project is $325,000. • The Morten Drive project will consist of a 275 foot long water main replacement and bituminous reconstruction from the center line on Cook Street heading south. The estimated cost of this portion of the 2012 infrastructure projects is $107,000. In other city news, the council: • Approved the hospital sign a contract expanding its emergency room (ER) physician services from Acute Care, Inc. (ACI) With several local doctors retiring or limiting their practice in anticipation of retirement, the hospital staff believes it will be necessary to increase the use of out-of-town ER physicians until new local doctors can be recruited. • Approved the PUC advertising for bids, plans, and specifications for the upcoming east substation integration project. • In a related project, the city approved the PUC awarding a bid of $315,687 to Stuart Irby for 48,800 feet of cable to be used to connect the new east substation into the town's existing electrical system. • Authorized the mayor and city administrator to sign two easements with the Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency, granting their staff access to city electrical substations. • Authorized the mayor to sign a reserve contract with the Western Area Power Administration. • Approved accepting a $24,234 bid from Kohls-Weelborg for a replacement one-ton truck for the park, along with a $5,223 bid for a body and hoist for it from Northern Truck Equipment. • Approved a $3,376 bid from Schueller's Bad Boy Sales and Service for a zero-turn mower trade-in. • Approved the first reading of an ordinance granting a franchise to Mediacom Minnesota LLC to operate a cable television system in the city. A public hearing to debate the franchise agreement has been set for 5:15 p.m. on April 17, 2012 at city hall. • Approved new job descriptions and wage updates for the positions of city HR coordinator, deputy city clerk, and senior accountant, since those responsibilities have been shifted around a bit since the retirement of the former HR director/city clerk.

This isn't necessary for non-MMP file systems, so drop it. * E2fsck will now abort if there are memory allocation failures when the file system is initially opened and during the block group descriptor checks. * e2fsck will now report the incorrect and corrected checksum values for incorrect block groups. * e2fsck can now write log files containing the details of the problems that were found and fixed directly, via configuration parameters in /etc/e2fsck.conf. * The number of messages reported by e2fsck for a given problem type can be limited. * dumpe2fs, debugfs, and tune2fs now use rbtree bitmaps, which noticably reduces memory consumption for large file systems. * E2fsck now checks for extents with a zero length. * Fixed a number of bugs relating to discard. * E2fsck's CPU utilization in pass 5 has been optimized. * E2image will now skip copying uninitialized bitmap and inode table blocks. * Fixed mke2fs -S so it does not corrupt the first block group's information. * E2fsck will now check the new sysfs interface to determine if we are using the battery or AC mains. - Add up-to-date german messages * Fri Apr 13 2012 firstname.lastname@example.com - Remove the obsolete german messages. * Wed Apr 11 2012 firstname.lastname@example.com - place binaries and libraries into the /usr tree (UsrMerge project) * Thu Apr 05 2012 firstname.lastname@example.com - SPARC: avoid retention of libquota.a - Remove redundant tags/sections from specfile * Fri Jan 13 2012 firstname.lastname@example.com - removed dumpe2fs-add-man-page-warning-about-mounted-fil.patch deprecated by this release - refreshed e2fsprogs-1.41.1-splash_support.patch - added several patches to fix warnings generated by the check_gcc_output and rpmlint - update to 1.42 * this release has support for file systems >16TB. online resize requires kernel support which will hopefully be in kernel version 3.2. offline support is not yet available for >16TB, but will be coming * this release has support for clustered allocation, which reduces the number of block (now cluster) bitmaps by allocating and deallocating space in contiguous power-of-2 collections of blocks, which are called clustered. This is a filesystem level feature called 'bigalloc', which must be enabled when the filesystem is inititally formatted. It is not backwards compatible with older kernels. * added support for the Multi-Mount Protection (MMP) feature * The mke2fs and e2fsck programs now tries to use the punch hole command as a "discard" when operating on normal files. * The resize2fs program now has support for a new online resize ioctl that can support file systems > 16TB, once it arrives in v3.x kernels. * Added e4defrag tool which uses the EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl. * Added support for journals larger than 2GB. * Added internationalization support for libcom_err error table strings. * Fixed various spelling mistakes found in various output strings found by I18N translators. * Update translations: French, Chinese, Germany, Indonesian, Swedish, Vietnamese, Polish, Dutch, Czech. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #520985, [#620659]) * Updated/clarified man pages.

This can be disabled using the -K option. * Mke2fs now will obtain get device topology information from blkid and use it to populate the superblock stride and stripe sizes. It will also warn if the block device is misaligned see more changes in RELEASE-NOTES * Sun Dec 13 2009 email@example.com - add baselibs.conf as a source * Wed Oct 28 2009 email@example.com - libcom_err-devel shoudl require glibc-devel - Axe static libraries and see how it goes.. * Thu Oct 01 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - fix possible massive fdleak when fsck is invoked with options - R -A -M -a -t noopts=nofail in boot.localfs [bnc#503008] * Thu Sep 10 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - fix the super block even if someone mounted the file system in wrong timezone in between (bnc#537542) * Thu Sep 03 2009 email@example.com - update to 1.41.9: "All users of e2fsprogs are urged to upgrade to the 1.41.9 version as soon as possible" * Fix a bug in e2fsck routines for reallocating an inode table which could cause it to loop forever on an ext4 filesystem with the FLEX_BG filesystem feature with a relatively rare (and specific) filesystem corruption. This fix causes e2fsck to try to find space for a new portion of the inode table in the containing flex_bg, and if that fails, the new portion of the inode table will be allocated in any free space available in the filesystem. * Make e2fsck less annoying by only asking for permission to relocate a block group's inode table once, instead of for every overlapping block. Similarly, only ask once to recompute the block group checksums, instead of once for each corrupted block group's checksum. see more changes in RELEASE-NOTES * Mon Aug 03 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - added Supplements for ext4 * Mon Jul 13 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - look for libreadline.so.6 too - refresh patches to avoid fuzz * Mon Jul 13 2009 email@example.com - update to 1.41.8 - Fix resize2fs's online resizing, fixing a regression which in e2fpsrogs 1.41.7. - Fix resize2fs bugs when shrinking ext4 filesystems - If the resize2fs operation fails, the user will be told to fix up the filesystem using e2fsck -fy. - do not install disabled uuid binary and man page - Fix filefrag program for files that have more than 144 extents. - allow V=1 to disable silent build - enable verbose build again (V=1 merged upstream) - move awk scripts from libcom_err2 to libcom_err2-devel * Wed Jul 08 2009 email@example.com - moved baselibs.conf changes to util-linux. * Mon Jun 29 2009 email@example.com - update to 1.41.7 - disable libuuid and libblkid packages (moved to util-linux) - drop libvolume_id support (util-linux's libblkid will work) - removed patches: e2fsprogs-libvolume_id-support.patch e2fsprogs-no_cmd_hiding.patch e2fsprogs-base_devt.patch e2fsprogs-mdraid.patch * Mon Mar 09 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Fix errors in German messages.

It's not just Benghazi anymore.
One of the most controversial energy projects in the nation also has become a flash point in the drama surrounding who may become the next secretary of state – and it's coming from the left instead of the right.
Back on Nov. 28, "OnEarth," published by the Natural Resources Defense Council, dug into U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice's financial disclosures and found that she and her husband have a stake in TransCanada, the company pushing for the Keystone XL Pipeline to be built.
NRDC officials say it's an important issue that must be discussed during the nomination process. But the timing of the report raises questions, as it is being surfaced by an environmental activist community that has previously given support to another potential secretary of state candidate – Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry.
NBC News' Mark Murray explains why the partisan divide over the potential nomination of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice is intensifying.
The decision on whether to approve the pipeline goes through the State Department.
"If confirmed by the Senate, one of Rice's first duties likely would be consideration, and potentially approval, of the controversial mega-project," Scott Dodd at "OnEarth" wrote. "Rice's financial holdings could raise questions about her status as a neutral decision maker."
Dodd noted that "Rice owns stock valued between $300,000 and $600,000 in TransCanada, the company seeking a federal permit to transport tar sands crude 1,700 miles to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast, crossing fragile Midwest ecosystems and the largest freshwater aquifer in North America."
Bill McKibben, an anti-pipeline activist, told the publication: "It's really amazing that they're considering someone for Secretary of State who has millions invested in these companies. The State Department has been rife with collusion with the Canadian pipeline builders, and it's really distressing to have any sense that that might continue to go on."
Susan Casey-Lefkowitz, the NRDC's director of international programs, sounded a less strident tone a day later: "What's most important is that she rid herself of her holdings in TransCanada and other tar sands-related companies, and we're confident she will do that ... What's most important is that we have a good, thorough review done."
Danielle Droitsch, a senior attorney for the NRDC and director of the Canada Project, told First Read: "We think Ambassador Rice has the credentials to be secretary of state, but if she were nominated, and then appointed, these holdings would have to be addressed."
She added that "high-level officials dealing with Keystone should not have any conflicts of interest."
The likelihood is that, if nominated, Rice will have to divest herself of her TransCanada investment to avoid a conflict of interest.
Will new Obama appointments come this week? Is there a way to get both John Kerry and Susan Rice into the Obama cabinet? NBC News' Chuck Todd and Time's Joe Klein join the discussion.
The environmental group's effort to shed light on Rice's financial interest in TransCanada could be just an attempt, if Rice is nominated, to get a "thorough review" and make sure it has a staunch ally in trying to thwart the project, as Casey-Lefkowitz said.
But could it also be a signal that the NRDC prefers another candidate for the job – Kerry, the other of the final two candidates reportedly being considered for the post?
After all, environmental groups have strongly supported Kerry in the past and have a long working relationship with him. Like they would for most Democrats in a presidential election, for example, the NRDC and the League of Conservation Voters, among others, ran ads in the 2004 election boosting Kerry.
LCV even endorsed Kerry before the New Hampshire Democratic primary that year, although it has notably not spoken out about Rice.
Droitsch, however, would not address whom the NRDC prefers for the job.
"We're trying to signal that the pipeline decision has to be conflict-free," Droitsch said. "That would pertain to any potential nominee. The president has the prerogative to nominate the person he believes is best for the position."
The Senate will then raise questions, however, she said. And "now is important to raise the issue ... We want to make sure that anyone who's being considered would be free of those conflicts. That's our primary interest right now."
The NRDC, which has been very involved in efforts to block Keystone, is the environmental interest group most pressing the issue of Rice's financials.
But others might not be as keen to see Kerry leave Capitol Hill. After all, consider that green groups already spent a lot of money trying to oust Republican Scott Brown from the Senate – and were successful.
But if Kerry becomes secretary of state (or even defense secretary), his seat would become vacant, raising the potential for a costly and competitive special election.
"Who cares if the U.N. ambassador has a TransCanada stock. Who cares if the head of the FDA has TransCanada stock," said a Democratic strategist and ally of the administration who is a veteran of confirmation battles.
"If she [Rice] were to be nominated, she would go through a process by which we look for financials conflicts. Maybe this stock would be identified as something that posed a conflict, and she would sell," the strategist said. "But she hasn't gone through that process, because she's not a nominee to anything. If they want to say that if she is the nominee, she should sell the stock, that's fine. But you can't legitimately hit her for having it now. And that is likely why NRDC backed off and no other environmental groups have piled-on."
What really is going on here likely has less to do with Rice and whether she should ascend to secretary of state, and more with the NRDC leveraging pressure on the president and the administration to make sure the pipeline is rejected again once it comes up for approval. And that could be soon.
The next step in that approval phase, in fact, could come as early as next week, Droitsch said. TransCanada has applied for a shortened pipeline in hopes of having that approved – something the NRDC strongly opposes. A Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement could be released by the State Department as early as next week, Droitsch said.
"It is critically important for there to be independent decision-makers, free of conflict of interest, who can take an independent view," she said.
She then tied the administration's decision on the pipeline to climate change, an issue that has regained prominence as a result of Hurricane Sandy. In the days following Sandy's landfall, in fact, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg endorsed President Barack Obama for his leadership on climate change.
How Obama decides on the pipeline "signals where the U.S. is headed in terms of importing dirty fuels, inconsistent with an administration that is committed to fighting climate change," Droitsch said.
"We're confident President Obama understands the seriousness around the issues surrounding this pipeline. Approving it sends the wrong signal about our country's commitment to climate change. Yes, he's under a lot of pressure, but the public is very concerned about this. It's not a decision I know he'll view lightly."

Associate professor of civil and environmental engineering
"I cannot excel at what I do without an environment that is conducive for that to happen," said Foley. "My colleagues in the department and the college are a fantastic group of people and friends. They make my job not feel like a job."
Striving to instill in his students that learning is a lifelong endeavor, one of Foley's teaching priorities is to illustrate the direct connection between scholarly research in structural design/engineering and the classroom, as well as use modern technology to deliver information or to extend the boundaries of information delivery.
"I look at my courses as opportunities for students to try and learn new subjects," he said. "I enjoy watching my students take those opportunities, learn from them and grow."
Associate professor of theology
Like Foley, Massingale also acknowledges his fellow faculty in helping him excel as a teacher. "I am blessed with colleagues who take faith and intelligence seriously," he said. "I love being a part of an institution that strives to make cura personalis especially care for the students not merely a motto, but a living ideal."
Massingale especially wants his students to leave his courses challenged, unsettled, stimulated, inspired and grateful for the opportunity to think deeply about the world.
"I delight when a student asks me a question that has never occurred to me before, requiring me to think on my feet," said Massingale. "I enjoy the give and take as students, and I wrestle over the implications of a text or the demands of discipleship."
Clinical associate professor of nursing
Shaw shares similar sentiments. "Every day students pose questions that I had never considered before, and I get excited about helping them find the answer," she said. "And I get to learn something new also. Teaching is like a fountain of youth for the brain."
One of her practical priorities is for her students to master the content and synthesize the nursing concepts they learn into a whole that they can apply in patient care. She credits others in her college for sharing that desire. "I am very grateful to my colleagues and friends in the College of Nursing," she said. "It is an overwhelming feeling to be recognized for doing something that you love to do."

We tie-dyed t-shirts and were disappointed with the results. The colors were vibrant when we untied the T-shirts but after washing them in the washing machine the t-shirts looked faded and pastel colored. Help!!! This is how we did our process: prewashed and dried t-shirts. Tied or rubberbanded t-shirts. Soaked t-shirts in soda ash water. Wrung shirts out the best we could. Dyed t-shirts using squirt bottles. Wrapped t-shirts in plastic and let sit for 24 hours. Rinsed t-shirts in cold water until water ran clear. Washed t-shirts in washing machine with laundry detergent on cold.
I read the instructions on the Jacquard web site and it said to begin wash with cold water and gradually get hotter. It also suggested washing in washing machine with hot wash, cold rinse. Is the hot water important for the dying process? We tied before putting the t-shirts in soda ash water because the soda ash dries the skin. Is it important to soak in soda ash before tying? If so why? Can the mixed dyes be save in lidded containers? If so for how long?
September 2006
Hi Chris,
The most important question is, were the shirts 100% cotton? If they were a poly cotton blend that would explain the pale colors, as the
Procion MX
dye will not have any affect on polyester fibres. Aside from that, it sounds like you did things correctly.
My next question would be, what kind of laundry detergent did you use in your wash out? It may have been too harsh for the freshly dyed shirts.
Another thing to consider is water quality in your area. If you have hard water you will not get vibrant colors. The website has instructions for adding softener to your water.
Were you using the
Tie Dye Kit
? If not, how much dye did you put in how much water and what colors were you using? Perhaps the concentrations are off.
Hot water does help the colors pop.
It doesn't matter when you soak the shirts in
soda ash
(before or after tying) as long as they soak for at least 15 minutes before you apply the dye. Soda ash is pretty rough on the skin, so it's a good idea to wear gloves if you decide to soak before tying. You could have tied the T-shirts right out of the washing machine without drying, the shirts are easier to tie when damp and you save a bit of energy by not using the dryer.
You can save the mixed dyes for about 2 weeks in a cool place, but don't put them in the fridge! Dyes should never be around food or kitchen utensils. You could get an ice chest filled with ice and stick it someplace out of the way. You can also save the soda ash solution in a lidded container. It will keep indefinitely. Always label your dye stuffs to avoid unhappy accidents!
I hope this helps. Give it another try--you can even re-dye the shirts you just did (as long as they are not a blend). If you have any other questions be sure to write back or call us here at Jacquard 1-800-442-0455.
One last note: we just watched a great video here on tie dye from the folks at TrueTieDye.com. The information is well presented and they have some great tying techniques in their advanced videos, with good instructions for mixing chemical water (if you are dealing with hard water this will improve your results)
Good luck!

Thank you so much for your quick response and helpful information. We washed the shirts, after dying in Arm and Hammer clothing detergent. The t-shirts say 100% cotton. I believe we used the correct proportions when we mixed the dye, but some of it was previously mixed more than 2 weeks before. Can you get the Calgon at a grocery store? What amount should be used per gallon of water. Should the Calgon be added to the Soda Ash mixture, to the dye mixture, the washing machine when washing the dyed shirts or what? What are washing instructions after the first wash?
Celia Buchanan

You should be able to get the
at a grocery store or jacquard stockist. If that doesn't work call Jacquard on 1800 442 0455. Pre mixing the dyes could be one of the causes of the faded color as well as the hard water. Ideally mix the dyes fresh before dyeing for the best results. Pre soak the shirts in the
soda ash
disolved in water. 1lb to about 2 galons should be sufficient. Let them dry and then tyedye them. The calgon should be added to the dye mixture to soften the water. About a table spoon to 1pt. You should also let the shirts dry completely before washing them, ideally by hand for the first wash in a gentle detergent.
September 2006
Hi Chris,
So, there are a couple of things to do different, given the new information. For washing after dying we generally recommend a mild liquid detergent(from the grocery store), or
. I think the Arm and Hammer is a pretty strong detergent and probably drove out some of your color. The older dyestuffs are one of the reasons you got lighter colors.
You should be able to get
at the grocery store and I believe it is basically the same as what we sell--read the label, it should be sodium hexametaphosphate. (If the stuff at the grocery store is different check with the place you got your dyes from or go to Dharmatrading.com--they carry it in powder form and they don't have any order minimums) Add it to the water you mix with the dyes. Use about 1/2 tsp per 1 1/2 cups water.
After the first wash you can wash your dyed shirts normally but if you have any concerns just wash them in a separate load.
Happy dyeing!

I'm a little worried, because after spending hours helping kids tie dye shirts, I found out that the woman who prewashed the shirts used a dryer sheet and possibly fabric softener. I just got done dying, so the items are in the plastic bags waiting for their set time (8 to 24 hours, right?) I'm wondering how much this will affect the dye...any ideas? Could this have been a problem with this user (beginner posted dyes faded significantly)?
I also dissolved dyes in about 100 degree water, and am wondering if this is also going to affect the color darkness, since I read somewhere that this may affect things...
I am going to leave them at least 24 hours in hopes that more will "stick."
Another thing~I'm not sure we had the right proportion of soda ash. We had to add more water to accommodate several extra shirts that I didn't account for...
October 2006
Dryer sheets and fabric softeners are definitely to be avoided when preparing garments for dyeing. :( Too bad you didn't find out sooner. The diluted
soda ash
might affect things--kinda depends on how much more water you added.
You will probably still get some results, though less vibrant than they might have been. But don't despair too much! My experience with kids is that they are pretty excited about making stuff in general and tend to be less critical of the results than we, as adults, are (not always mind you, but often). If you can find the beauty in their results, they will usually see it too. It can also be a good lesson for them in trying again--good for art making and life in general--things aren't always perfect the first time!

Hi... Do I have to pre wash the t-shirts?..... It doesn't say so in the instructions. But I want to make sure.... I have to do the activity with kids tomorrow so I don't have that much time. All it sais is to soak in the ash... So could someone help me....
Thank you so much

Hello, I am very new to this. I used the turquoise procion mx dye for a silk scarf project for school using the tub dyeing method. It came out pretty well so far, I am wondering how long the dye will last now that I have added the soda ash. I made it this morning before work and wanted to do some tests on some other fabrics before I dispose of it, seems a waste to just throw it all out. I am also wanting to do an ombre effect on the silk scarf, are there any tips you may have for doing this? I used acid dyes before for this effect but couldn't find any to purchase in a short amount of time before the project is due. Thanks for your help!

Hi MissPeenyo,
Once you have added the Soda Ash to the Procion MX dye it is only good for about an hour. Even though there is a lot of color left in the bath that color is no longer able to bond to your fiber so would only stain it and would not be wash fast.
There is a great tutorial for ombre dyeing here:

Studying for the LSAT / Re: Need some advice« on: July 18, 2009, 09:14:54 AM »
Heres the deal, I took the LSAT twice now, in June and October. I got a 148 in June and a 150 in October. Now here i am. I am quite discouraged and frustrated. but I dont want to give up. That is unlike me. I was averaging mid-150's leading up to the october test and i failed despite "improving" my score from June.
The question I have is...should I retake it...again? Will this look really bad to schools? Or will it look as if I am persistent? I really want to get in a aba approved school. But now I dont know if I can. Someone please help me out.
A 150 will get you in at quite a few low ranked schools. IMO, however, they are not worth going to. Most people who go to TTT and TTTT schools have a very difficult time finding work. Added to that is the fact that the legal market is doing very poorly right now. Even students from T schools are having a hard time finding paying work.
This is really bad advice. I actually registered simply because this post was so out of touch... Folks, be careful form message board pundits who regurgitate bad info. I've had many instances of tier 4 law school students excelling in the field. In fact, my brother, an Albany alumnus was employed immediately upon graduation/ bar-passage.
The simple fact is, if you pass the bar, no matter what law school you went to, you have an excellent chance of employment. If the law is what you love, then go for it... regardless of what "tier" you're in.

ROSEBURG (AP) — The city of Roseburg must pay an ex-police sergeant $750,000 because it failed to give him a chance to clear his name before forcing him to quit and making public the results of an internal investigation into his conduct, a federal jury ruled Thursday.
After a three-day trial in Eugene, jurors deliberated for three hours before deciding in favor of Gregrey Fetsch, who resigned under pressure in 2010 after 18 years with the department.
Fetsch sued in 2011, seeking $1.5 million and alleging the department violated his constitutional rights to a fair hearing.
Jurors agreed with Fetsch that the city deprived him of an opportunity to continue his career in law enforcement by releasing the internal investigation to The News-Review.
Fetsch said in a statement provided by his attorney, Cindy Danforth, that he hopes to return to work in law enforcement in Oregon.
"For over two years, my family and I have lived under the shadow of a false accusation of dishonesty made by my former boss, Police Chief James Burge," Fetsch wrote. "(Thursday's) jury verdict hopefully will remove the false label of dishonesty that I have always denied."
Calls to Burge's office Thursday and Friday were not returned.
The city and its insurer, Citycounty Insurance Services, are considering whether to appeal the verdict, said Eugene lawyer Jens Schmidt, who represented the city.
The internal police investigation concluded that Fetsch put a young officer under his authority into an ethical dilemma by asking the officer to keep quiet about an extramarital affair Fetsch was having with a 24-year-old woman who had applied to be a reserve officer.
The investigation found that Fetsch committed no professional wrongdoing by engaging in the relationship with the woman — who ended up not pursuing a career as a police officer — but that Fetsch had been dishonest during the investigation. On Nov. 4, 2010, Burge, after being authorized by the city manager, informed Fetsch he had 90 minutes to quit or be fired.
According to court records, Fetsch resigned but asked for a hearing to clear his name. The city didn't respond to the request, according to court records.
When Fetsch faced further discipline from a state board, The News-Review requested a copy of the report.
The state board declined to revoke Fetsch's license to be a police officer. Advisers to the board praised Fetsch for his "impeccable honesty" during the board's investigation.

Central States Numismatic Society
Serving the Numismatic Community since 1939
Central States Numismatic Society Exhibit Rules
1896 $2.00 Education Note
Exhibit Rules
Print Exhibit Rules
Print Exhibition Application
The numismatic exhibit program will be under control and direction of the Central States Numismatic Society (CSNS), which reserves the right to reject any exhibit at any time. Exhibits will be accepted only upon receipt of the proper application form.
WHO MAY EXHIBIT. Any collector of numismatic material, who is a member in good standing of CSNS is eligible. No exhibit chairman, or a member of his immediate family, shall have a competitive exhibit at that convention.
For an exhibitor to be eligible for the use of space and display cases, an exhibit application must be filled out and mailed, or given to a member of the convention's exhibit committee, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the opening of the convention. No exhibitor may exhibit any non-competitive case in an area adjacent to that in which he displays any competitive case.
Forged, spurious, or counterfeit material may not be displayed, unless each such item is described as such in the exhibit and unless such items are displayed for educational purposes. No such item will be displayed in violation of United States law or any government regulations. Photographic and/or laser printed reproductions of numismatic items are permitted if allowed by law. But such reproductions may not be greater than 200% the size of the original. Also, if any such reproduction of a numismatic item discussed in the exhibit is included in the exhibit, then at least one original example of such numismatic items must be included in the exhibit. Any such reproduction must be clearly labeled as such. Labeling must be either below or above the numismatic item. Any violation of this paragraph, even if unintentional, will result in total disqualification of the exhibit.
No single exhibit may be entered in more than one classification. An exhibitor may not enter more than one exhibit in the same classification. He/she may enter separate exhibits in different classifications, provided he/she files a separate application for each exhibit, and indicates the class in which it is to be entered. No outside signs and/or lights may be used. The exhibit chairman may transfer an exhibit from one class to another if the exhibit cannot meet the 65% test of numismatic material belonging to the classification the exhibit was entered in. The exhibit chairman will confer with the exhibitor about the transfer of the exhibit to its proper classification. In the event that the exhibitor does not agree with the exhibit chairman on the proper placement of the exhibit, the chief judge will make the final decision.
ASSIGNMENT OF CASES: Cases will be assigned in the order of receipt of entry blanks. The number of cases allotted to each exhibitor shall be left to the discretion of the exhibit chairman. But no exhibitor shall be permitted to display more than seven (7) cases, or occupy more than twentyone (21) linear feet per exhibit, irrespective of whether he/she furnishes his/her own cases. Exhibits of large material may use up to seven [7) cases. Large material exhibits are those in the paper money, primitive money, bonds, checks, philatelic-numismatic covers (PNC's), souvenir cards, casino plaques, and other similar material.
Exhibit cases will be loaned for use at the convention upon receipt of the application stating case requirements. If an exhibitor enters more than one exhibit, and requires the loan of more than seven (7) cases, then the loan of any additional cases shall depend on the availability of such cases. This is only after requirements of other qualified exhibitors have been satisfied. Non-competitive exhibits shall be subject to such space limitations as the exhibit chairman deems appropriate. Exhibits of material not capable of being presented in the usual cases will be permitted only upon prior and specific arrangements with the exhibit chairman, and subject to the concurrence of the exhibit committee.
The name or identity of any competitive exhibitor shall not appear on the exhibit, except as an author in a bibliographical reference. Such reference will be sufficiently general so that the exhibitor cannot be linked in any way to the exhibit. The exhibit chairman shall keep a full and complete record of all exhibits. The record will show the name of each exhibitor, and the number of the exhibit. Names of competitive exhibitors shall not be disclosed to anyone; only until the judges have completed the judging of the exhibits and made their reports to the exhibit chairman.
An exhibitor in the presence of a member of the exhibit committee personnel shall lock each exhibit case. The exhibit committee personnel will assign a numbered identification card showing the number of the exhibit with the group, and the group classification under which the exhibit has been entered. Such a number will be placed inside each case in the upper left-hand corner, or some alternate, but in a uniformly placed position where it is plainly visible.
Special security shall be provided for the exhibit area during the convention. Normal precautions will be exercised at all times; but no liability shall be incurred by the Central States Numismatic Society, its officers, members and/or committees either in their respective official, individual or personal capacities by reason of any loss or damages whatsoever sustained, either directly or indirectly in connection with the exhibits and/or convention.
Awards for any exhibit will be made by the Central States Numismatic Society in accordance with the procedures approved by the executive board. Exhibits will be in eight (8) different classifications to which first, second and third place awards will be given. An exhibit must receive at least sixty-five (65) points in order to obtain an award. A Best of Show plaque or trophy will be awarded to one of the first place winners. It will not be awarded twice to the same person for substantially the same exhibit. A list of previous winners of the Best of Show award will be furnished to the exhibit chairperson for his/her guidance and the judges' guidance.
NEW EXHIBITOR AWARD: A plaque or trophy will be awarded for the Best Exhibit by a person who has never before exhibited competitively at a CSNS convention. A YN exhibitor who has never won a CSNS award shall be considered to be a new exhibitor. This award was funded by Harvey Stack in memory of Joseph and Morton Stack.
MOST EDUCATIONAL AWARD: A plaque or trophy will be awarded for the Most Educational Exhibit. This award was funded by a donation from Polly Pittman to honor her father, John Jay Pittman. The award will be presented annually. A panel of judges selected by the Exhibit Committee Chairperson will judge the most educational exhibit. The panel will choose the winner among the competitive exhibits only. An exhibit that covers the numismatic title/theme in a thorough, informative and creative way that makes the average viewer walk away learning the numismatic material presented, as well as convincing the viewer to start collecting the numismatic material are aspects of a winning exhibit.
EXHIBIT CLASSIFICATIONS: The following classifications shall be used...
- United states coins
- Foreign Coins Prior TO 1500 A.D.
- Foreign Coins After 1500 A.D.
- Medals
- All U.S. Paper Money
- All Foreign Paper Money
- Tokens
- Miscellaneous (Exhibits not covered by other classes)
- Junior - 17 years of age or younger
- Non-Competitive
The right to reclassify entries is reserved by the exhibit chairman.
14. The following point score system shall be used for judging exhibits:
The title should be obvious. There should be an explanation of what the exhibitor intends to show.
BASIC NUMISMATIC INFORMATIONThe numismatic specifications of the exhibit, items should be described to the extent needed by the exhibit's scope to answer the questions of another numismatist. Examples: mint, mintage, composition, dimensions, designer, engraver and variety.
SPECIAL NUMISMATIC INFORMATIONEnough additional information should be given to answer the questions of a general viewer. Examples: historic, biographic, geographic, economic and artist data.
CREATIVITY AND ORIGINALITYThe exhibit should be novel and imaginative.
ATTRACTIVENESSThe exhibit should be neat, well-designed and eye- catching. The color should be pleasing and effective.
BALANCEThe numismatic items, the information and related items should be balanced and related to the scope.
COMPLETENESSIs the material as shown in this exhibit COMPLETE insofar as it relates to the title of the exhibit? Consider the availability of the material and/or space limitations.
DEGREE OF DIFFICULTYThe exhibit should show dedication to collecting. The numismatic material or the related information was difficult to assemble or to present. Examples: multiple rare pieces, new research, a collection that took years to assemble.
CONDITIONThe numismatic material should be the best that is reasonably available to the exhibitor, who may make a statement about the condition of individual items or the overall exhibit.
RARITYRarity is judged by the number of like pieces believed to exist, not by the value of individual pieces.
Maximum Total Points
14. A CSNS judge should be a qualified ANA judge. The CSNS exhibit chairperson shall obtain a list of qualified judges. Asking these judges to attend the CSNS convention, the exhibit chairperson will coordinate placing these judges in the right classes.
Exhibit judges should be selected with specific standards as:
- Open-mindedness.
- Thorough knowledge of the exhibit class being judged.
- Humility toward the task of judging, with willingness to ask for assistance and to give due credit to the opinions of others.
- Willingness to explain a rating and to change a rating when error, obvious or otherwise, has been made.
An exhibitor may not judge in categories in which he or she is entered competitively but may judge in other categories in which he or she, family members or other relations are not entered competitively. Competitive exhibitors may not judge the Best of Show. Exhibitors must accept the judges' decisions as final and binding in all cases. Each class must have three judges. Each judge must follow the rating sheet. After completing the judging of any class, they will discuss among themselves the relative standings each has given the respective exhibits. Judges may at this time make such changes in ratings as they deem to be necessary.
The rating sheets are then returned to the exhibit chairperson. The exhibit chairperson will assemble a review committee. The committee will review all classes to ensure that there were no discrepancies between the original ratings of the exhibits and the numerical scores that have been given to them. In other words, did the consensus of the three class judges about which exhibit is first, second and third agree with the scores. It is possible for two judges to place an exhibit first, yet the scores show another exhibit with higher points if the third judge is a higher marker. Such cases will be resolved in favor of the exhibit that received the greater number of votes for the first place (or second or third as applicable.) The exhibit chairperson upon request by the exhibitor may distribute the exhibit rating sheets.
The exhibit chairperson will have three judges selected to judge the Best of Show. The judge must be a qualified ANA judge. No such judge may have been a competitive exhibitor nor have placed or be scheduled to remove an exhibit on behalf of a competitive exhibitor. These judges will also use the CSNS rating sheet. Any questions concerning the exhibit rules should be directed to the CSNS exhibit rules committee.
A. How consistently has the exhibit followed the announced title or theme for the exhibit?
B. Does the display give a striking or exception effect, or is it merely average in its overall appearance?
C. Does the exhibit present information above what is known to the average collector of this type of material?
D. To what extent has careful research been done as evidenced by the numismatic information imparted to the viewer?
E. Has credit been given to numismatic written sources?
F. Would a non-collector understand the exhibit?

Lawmakers renew push to speed turbine construction

BOSTON – Gov. Deval Patrick and allied lawmakers are renewing a push to reduce the legal hurdles that have stalled some wind-power projects in Massachusetts. Their efforts were thwarted last session by lawmakers from wind-rich areas in the Western part of the state, who say the bill would erode local control of turbine siting and operation.
The bill would speed up the process for getting land-based wind farms approved. Wind advocates say that under current law, the permitting process can take years, with court and construction delays.
The new plan would reduce the number of permits the project developer needs, as well as the number of appeals opponents could make.
But critics like Senator Michael Knapick, a Westfield Republican, say that what developers see as a problem with the process may actually be its strength.
"There's plenty of opportunity for local folks to involve themselves in the process and ultimately kill a project that they don't think is in their best interest. So the part of the concern is that this eliminates some of those barriers to permitting, and we think that's wrong," Knapick said.
Knapick, who also complains about the cost of wind energy, says his constituents have been resistant to new wind projects. They say that the turbines are massive, loud, disruptive and bring down property values.
The wind-permitting measure nearly passed in the Legislature last session, but opponents managed to run out the clock before it could win final approval.
Brookline Democrat Frank Smizik, who chairs the House committee on global warming, refiled the bill for this session. He says he is optimistic that the bill will pass. But he adds that Western Massachusetts lawmakers continue to be uncooperative.
"They've been very difficult but we think we have the votes in the Senate and in the House," Smizik said.
Patrick administration officials say that the bill remains a priority for the governor, who's pushing for the state to dramatically expand wind power by year 2020.
The measure has yet to receive a formal committee hearing.
