Agency had previously endorsed the inertia theory, but failed to apply it to the automatic seatbelts analysis; court is preventing gaps in an agency’s reasoning National Customs Brokers – decision not to initiate rulemaking only overturned “for compelling cause, such as plain error of law or a fundamental change in factual premise Fox – for changes in agency policy, no more rigorous review; suffices that “new policy is permissible under the statute, there are good reasons for it, and agency believes it is better”
Are political reasons inherently arbitrary or, in fact, legitimate??? FCC v. Fox (2009) FCC changed its policy regarding “offensive language” used on T.V. and did not enforce the policy retroactively. Challenged as arb.&cap. SCOTUS says it is not. Rule: An agency that is changing its position must at least acknowledge the change and justify the new position on the merits. BUT it apparently need not directly compare the old and new policies and explain why the latter is preferable. Breyer/Scalia divide Breyer’s dissent doesn’t argue that a heightened standard of review is nec. for changes in agency policy, but does highlight relevant factors agency might have failed to consider and contends that this is a situation where agency has burden to explain what factors justify its change. SCALIA, writing for the majority, concedes that there will be specific circumstances where such a justification is nec. (see case brief), but thinks that here the agency has accounted for reliance interests and the change is not based on new data which must be explained. Rather, it’s a justified change in what the agency believes to be the best standard, given the current environment. The debate over what exactly an agency must account for in terms of changed knowledge, law, circumstances to justify its change in policy speaks to a dispute over what role politics/value judgements should play in agency decisionmaking. Requiring the greater level of explanation Breyer seeks suggests a position that politics should play less of a role. But isn’t this a reason we like agencies? However, if we take the more relaxed Scalia position, then is there no way to invalidate an agency action that isn’t clearly in factual error? Significance of Agency Independence In his dissent, Breyer suggests that an agency’s independence indicates that Congress wanted its decisions to be less influenced by the policy preferences of the current administration, more expertise-driven (Mass. v. EPA move, again). Stevens’s dissent alludes to this idea as well. N.B., however, that State Farm involved a purely executive agency, and there the court found the rescission arb.&cap., probably due to some skepticism as to the agency’s political responsiveness as well.
Capacity Free from political influence? Efficiency Do we think the agency should be doing this? Accountability Do we want deliberation? Is it so big we don’t need to worry? Vagueness versus scope Do we prefer a vague but more limited delegation or a broad but clear delegation? Implications? Can court regulate it? Can/should Congress fix it? What are the functions of the Non-delegation Doctrine? Ensures important choices of social policy are made by Congress accountability Provides agencies with “intelligible principle” to guide exercise of delegated discretion Allows that courts are able to test exercise of discretion against ascertainable standards Two ways to view the Non-delegation Doctrine: As a means of limiting the legislative power to delegate issues about which Congress is supposed to deliberate (i.e. that legislative power should go to the legislature) That some decisions are too important to be made by agencies even if they are not discretionary, and that these decisions should go to Congress (Benzene, allowing agency wide discretion as long as it made a threshold determination limiting its own power) Congressional Control of Agencies Enabling statute: Congress is creating the agency, and so can “hardwire” the scope of the agencies authority, etc Appropriations: Congress sets the budget for agencies and decides whether to fund them Oversight hearings: call heads of agency before Congress to testify Create Inspector General (IG) within agency Legislative veto (Chadha) Resisting one house veto b/c: Constitution Functionalism does not promote deliberation Appointment power: Senate “advice and consent” to appointment of high ranking officials THINK: Why is Congress trying to control the agency?

Database Tuning No Database Tuning is required before or after deployment of CTT&DM NDS patch LR*5.2*500. This concludes the installation process. Back-Out Procedure NOTE: Due to the complexity of this patch (because of the data dictionary changes), it is not recommended for back-out. However, in the event that a site decides to back-out of this patch, the site should contact the National Service Desk (NSD) to submit a CA SDM ticket; the development team will assist with the process. Due to the complexities of the changes to the MASTER LABORATORY TEST File (#66.3) backing out the changes to the files data definition will not be possible and is out of scope for this document. A manual procedure is provided. Back-Out Strategy The Back-out Strategy is to install the backup patch made before installation to revert modified routines and the LAB MLTF MANAGED ITEMS File (#66.4) DD, and then follow the manual steps provided to delete and change other DD changes in the LABORATORY TEST File (#60). Back-Out Considerations The back-out should only be done in the event that the local facility management determines that the patch LR*5.2*500 is not appropriate for that facility, and should only be done as a last resort.
evidence that greater (lesser) asymmetric timely loss recognition leads to increases (decreases) in debt characteristics. None of the coefficients on future change in CHAR interaction terms (DRit*RETit*ΔCHARit+1) are significant, inconsistent with the level of asymmetric timely loss recognition in the contemporaneous period resulting in changes in debt characteristics in the future. In summary, the results in Table 7 are consistent with debt characteristics leading to variation in conditional conservatism. 5.4. Other explanations of conditional conservatism Beaver (1993) and Watts (2003a) suggest that litigation may be a source of conservatism since there is a higher probability of litigation when the financial statements are overstated, rather than understated. As a robustness check, we include a proxy for litigation risk in the main regression to examine whether the results are robust to controlling for litigation-based effects. The proxy for litigation risk takes the value of 1 if firms operate in the four-digit SIC code of 2833-2836 (pharmaceutical), 3570-3577 (computer hardware), 3600-3674 (electronics), (retailing), and 7370-7374 (computer software), and zero otherwise. Our conclusions remain the same after controlling for litigation risk (untabulated). 6. Conclusions We examine whether asymmetric timely loss recognition varies in predictable ways based on the characteristics of debt structure, such as the maturity, convertibility, securitization, seniority and placement of debt. Based on Watts (2003a) contracting explanation for accounting conservatism, we hypothesize that debt contract characteristics associated with more asymmetric payoffs and greater information asymmetry between manager and debtholders, as well as weaker debtholder control rights, should be associated with an upwards shift in the demand for

Problem Analysis The Lee’s Summit Police Department conducted a study of crash and calls data citywide and determined there were a significant number of automobile crashes on M-291 Hwy in a ¾ mile radius around M-291 Hwy and Tudor Rd in addition to a significant number of calls for service for various types of crime. The Lee’s Summit Wal-Mart was located in the center of the geographical area. As a result, the initial DDACTS operation was named “Operation Sam Walton”. The analysis was conducted based upon the Data Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety (DDACTS) model. Crash and crime data was evaluated for a period beginning November 21, 2009 through May 21, 2010. The data indicated there were a total of 468 traffic crashes in the area of operation between November 21, 2009 and May 21, 2010 out of a total of 1427 crashes in the City of Lee’s Summit during the same period. The evaluation of the data indicated crashes within the operational zone account for nearly 33% of all the crashes in the city of Lee’s Summit. Upon examining the number of calls for service in the operational zone for the 6 month time frame, we determined it was necessary to excluded traffic crashes which had already been captured , crisis intervention calls (CIT), domestic violence (DV), animal calls and juvenile status offenses. The total number of calls for service in the operational zone was 1,131 as compared to 8,938 city wide, based upon the same criteria. Based upon the analysis, it appeared the area of operation accounted for 13% of all police calls for service citywide.

While the dredging project does not fit the definition of any type of regulated activity, the regulation is relevant and appropriate. Emergency environmental cleanups are exempted; however, this TCRA is time critical but not an emergency. The allowable levels at a residential property line from 7 am-10pm are 65 dBA continuous, 80 dBA impulsive, and octave band sound pressure levels as stated in the regulation. For residential 10pm- 7 am, 50 dBA continuous and 80 dBA impulsive with octave levels. At industrial, commercial, community service, and public service property lines, the maximum allowable continuous and impulsive levels are the same as daytime residential, with octave range levels.

Ninetieth Anniversary of the Linguistic Society of America: A Commemorative Symposium Saturday afternoon session, January 4, 2014 The LSA Linguistic Institutes Julia S. Falk La Jolla, California jsfalk@san.rr.com Surveys over the years have revealed that the members of the Linguistic Society of America consider the Linguistic Institutes to be the Society’s most important service to the profession, second only to the publication of Language (Linguistic Society of America Bulletin [hereafter Bul] 119, p. 3, 1988). Those who have participated know firsthand the spirit that makes Institutes so engaging and so warmly remembered. In Spring 1927, Reinhold Saleski – Professor of German at Bethany College in West Virginia – wrote to Roland Kent, Secretary of the Linguistic Society of America. Saleski proposed a Linguistic Institute for the summer of 1928. This “gathering of scholars for interchange of ideas” (Bul 2, p. 3, 1928) was modeled on the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, a summer program for research biologists under development at that time by the National Academy of Sciences (www.whoi.edu/main/history-legacy). Woods Hole had $2,500,000 in funding from the Rockefeller Foundation. The LSA budget balance was $799.36. It is not surprising that the Executive Committee was hesitant to embark on such a project. But Edgar Sturtevant was far from hesitant. Professor of Linguistics and Comparative Philology at Yale University, Sturtevant took up the idea and molded it into something very like the Linguistic Institutes we still have today. He broadened the scope to include both the “gathering of scholars” and the offering of course work. He gained a commitment from his university to provide facilities and to permit those who held the Ph.D. to attend at no charge. He developed a list of courses and promised 21 colleagues a teaching stipend of at least $250 each. And he successfully petitioned the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) for $2,500 in support of these faculty salaries.

In a typical experiment, 1 mmol RECl3·6H2O (RE = Y, Yb, Tm) with the desired molar ratio were added to a flask containing 6 mL OA and 15 mL ODE. The mixture was heated to 160 °C under argon flow for 30 min to obtain a clear solution and then cooled down to about 50 °C, followed by the addition of 5 mL methanol solution of NH4F (4 mmol) and NaOH (2.5 mmol). After stirring for 30 min, the solution was heated to 80 °C under argon flow for 20 min to expel methanol, and then the solution was further heated to 310 °C for another 90 min. Finally, the reaction solution was cooled down to room temperature. The products were precipitated by ethanol and centrifuged (9000 rpm for 5 min), then washed 3 times with cyclohexane, ethanol and methanol to get the nanoparticles. To get the nanoparticles with desired size or core-shell structure, layer-by-layer epitaxial growth has been employed. The shell precursors preparation is similar with that for the core nanoparticles synthesis, until the step where the reaction solution was slowly heated to 150°C and kept for 20 min. Instead of further heating to 300 °C to trigger nanocrystal growth, the solution was cooled down to room temperature to yield the shell precursors. For epitaxial

National County Lines Coordination Centre The Home Office reports that the National County Lines Coordination Centre is now in full operation. County lines is the drug dealing model which involves networks from urban centres using young people to expand their drug dealing activities into smaller towns and rural areas. The centre was formed to develop a UK-wide intelligence picture of the complexity and scale of the threat of county lines and includes a multi-agency team of experts from the National Crime Agency (NCA), police forces and regional organised crime units. Activity of the centre will focus on: prioritising action against the most serious offenders and engaging with partners across government.
