We have given full consideration to the rule expressed in *Feingold*v. *Walworth Bros.*(238 N. Y. 446) with respect to the extent of the penalty to be imposed for failure of defendant to appear for examination before trial. We find, however, that the examination directed herein was sufficiently extensive to warrant *745striking the answer as a whole for failure of defendant to appear. No substantial issues remained upon which defendant might be heard. Present — Glennon, J. P., Dore, Cohn, Callahan and Shientag, JJ. [See *post,*p. 791.]

For programs supported by the Foundation that require as part of the selection process for awards the submission of preproposals and that also limit the number of preproposals that may be submitted by an institution, the Director shall allow the subsequent submission of a full proposal based on each preproposal that is determined to have merit following the Foundation's merit review process.

§ 201.36 Allowable fees and expenses. ( a ) Subject to the limitation of paragraph (b), awards will be based on rates customarily charged, in the locale of the hearing, by persons engaged in the business of acting as attorneys, agents and expert witnesses, even if the services were made available without charge or at a reduced rate to the applicant.

No award to compensate an expert witness may exceed the reasonable rate at which the Commission pays witnesses with similar expertise. However, an award may also include the reasonable expenses of the attorney, agent or witness as a separate item, if the attorney, agent or witness ordinarily charges clients separately for such expenses.
( c ) In determining the reasonableness of the fee sought for an attorney, agent or expert witness, the administrative law judge shall consider the following: ( 1 ) If the attorney, agent or witness is in private practice, his or her customary fee for similar services, or, if an employee of the applicant the fully allocated cost of the services;
( 2 ) The prevailing rate for similar services in the community in which the attorney, agent or witness ordinarily performs services;
( 3 ) The time actually spent in the representation of the applicant;
( 4 ) The time reasonably spent in light of the difficulty or complexity of the issues in the proceeding; and
( 5 ) Such other factors as may bear on the value of the services provided.

#### Codification

Section 16652, Pub. L. 109–155, title III, §302, Dec. 30, 2005, 119 Stat. 2917, which related to status of Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission and required Administrator's report to Congress not later than 60 days after second Space Shuttle mission, was omitted from the Code following the enactment of Title 51, National and Commercial Space Programs, by Pub. L. 111–314.

Section 16653, Pub. L. 109–155, title III, §303, Dec. 30, 2005, 119 Stat. 2917, which required independent assessment of Landsat-NPOESS integrated mission to be transmitted to Congress not later than 180 days after Dec. 30, 2005, was omitted from the Code following the enactment of Title 51.
§ 23.25 Misuse of the words “ruby,” “sapphire,” “emerald,” “topaz,” “stone,” “birthstone,” “gem,” “gemstone,” etc. ( a ) It is unfair or deceptive to use the unqualified words “ruby,” “sapphire,” “emerald,” “topaz,” or the name of any other precious or semi-precious stone to describe any product that is not in fact a mined stone of the type described.
( b ) It is unfair or deceptive to use the word “ruby,” “sapphire,” “emerald,” “topaz,” or the name of any other precious or semi-precious stone, or the word “stone,” “birthstone,” “gem,” “gemstone,” or similar term to describe a laboratory-grown, laboratory-created, [manufacturer name]-created, synthetic, imitation, or simulated stone, unless such word or name is immediately preceded with equal conspicuousness by the word “laboratory-grown,” “laboratory-created,” “[manufacturer name]-created,” or some other word or phrase of like meaning, or by the word “imitation” or “simulated,” so as to disclose clearly the nature of the product and the fact it is not a mined gemstone. Note 1 to paragraph ( b
):
The use of the word “faux” to describe a laboratory-created or imitation stone is not an adequate disclosure that the stone is not a mined stone.
Note 2 to paragraph ( b
):
Marketers may use the word “cultured” to describe laboratory-created gemstone products that have essentially the same optical, physical, and chemical properties as the named stone if the term (e.g., “cultured ruby”) is qualified by a clear and conspicuous disclosure (for example, the words “laboratory-created,” “laboratory-grown,” “[manufacturer name]-created,” or some other word or phrase of like meaning) conveying that the product is not a mined stone. Additional guidance regarding the use of “cultured” to describe a laboratory-created diamond is set forth in § 23.12(c)(3).
( c ) It is unfair or deceptive to use the word “laboratory-grown,” “laboratory-created,” “[manufacturer name]-created,” “synthetic,” or other word or phrase of like meaning with the name of any natural stone to describe any industry product unless such product has essentially the same optical, physical, and chemical properties as the stone named.
( d ) It is unfair or deceptive to describe products made with gemstone material and any amount of filler or binder, such as lead glass, in the following way: ( 1 ) With the unqualified word “ruby,” “sapphire,” “emerald,” “topaz,” or name of any other precious or semi-precious stone;
( 2 ) As a “treated ruby,” “treated sapphire,” “treated emerald,” “treated topaz,” or “treated [gemstone name]”;
( 3 ) As a “laboratory-grown [gemstone name],” “laboratory-created [gemstone name],” “[manufacturer name]-created [gemstone name],” “or “synthetic [gemstone name];” or
( 4 ) As a “composite [gemstone name],” “hybrid [gemstone name],” or “manufactured [gemstone name],” unless the term is qualified to disclose clearly and conspicuously that the product: (A) Does not have the same characteristics as the named stone; and (B) requires special care. It is further recommended that the seller disclose the special care requirements to the purchaser.
#### The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Joseph Sacco, Appellant.

Appeal by defendant from an order of the County Court, Nassau County, denying his motion to vacate a judgment of conviction. Appellant, sentenced as a second felony offender, contended that the sentence was improper because the County Court in determining that sentence should be imposed, pursuant to the provisions of section 1941 of the Penal Law, took into account a conviction in the State of Connecticut, which was founded on an information instead of an indictment by a grand jury. Order affirmed. (See *People*v. *McCullough,*300 N. Y. 107; *Hurtado*v. *California,*110 U. S. 516; *People*v. *Wicklem,*183 Mise. 639; and *People ex rel.
