  • Presidential Administration and the Durability of Climate-Consciousness Abstract
    YUMEHIKO HOSHIJIMA Presidential Administration and the Durability of Climate-Consciousness abstract. President Obama took executive actions to address climate change that far ex- ceeded previous Presidents’ efforts to pursue policy objectives through presidential administra- tion. This Note does not focus on the Obama Administration’s major climate change regulations and international agreements, which have already attracted much attention. Rather, this Note identifies a concerted but inconspicuous effort to embed climate-consciousness throughout the executive branch, elevating climate change as a key decisional criterion for federal departments and agencies. This Note explains how the Obama Administration’s efforts exhibited a delicate interplay with the judicial and legislative branches, responding to a judicial demand for rigorous administrative reasoning about climate change while sidestepping congressional hostility to cli- mate change action by finding a narrow zone of congressional inattention. Although convention- al wisdom counsels that subsequent Presidents may easily reverse policies advanced through presidential administration, the Obama Administration’s efforts to advance climate- consciousness may prove surprisingly durable due to formal legal constraints, bureaucratic iner- tia, and public backlash. author. Yale Law School, J.D. expected. The author would like to thank Professor Jerry Mashaw for teaching the Advanced Administrative Law seminar and providing feedback on early drafts; Kyle Edwards, Joshua Macey, and Arjun Ramamurti for workshopping the paper in the seminar; and Patrick Baker and Anthony Sampson for thoughtful editorial feedback and their immense patience. Special thanks to Professor Daniel C. Esty for reviewing drafts and providing insights about sustainability that undergird this paper. All errors, mischaracterizations, and omissions are mine alone.

  • THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary for Immediate
    THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release December 5, 2013 December 5, 2013 MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES SUBJECT: Federal Leadership on Energy Management In order to create a clean energy economy that will increase our Nation's prosperity, promote energy security, combat climate change, protect the interests of taxpayers, and safeguard the health of our environment, the Federal Government must lead by example. During my Administration, Federal agencies have reduced their annual greenhouse gas emissions by more than 15 percent (7.8 million metric tons) -- the equivalent of removing 1.5 million cars from the road. Today I am establishing new goals for renewable energy as well as new energy-management practices. Agencies are already well on their way towards meeting the aggressive sustainability goals set forth in Executive Order 13514 of October 5, 2009 (Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance). This memorandum establishes a new target for Federal use of renewable energy that challenges agencies to more than double their renewable electricity consumption. In order to improve their ability to manage energy consumption, promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve the sustainability goals set forth in Executive Order 13514, this memorandum also directs agencies to update their building-performance and energy-management practices, by encouraging the use of the consensus-based, industry-standard Green Button data access system (Green Button) and the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy Star Portfolio Manager. To help agencies achieve my Administration's climate change goals and increase development of new renewable energy sources, I hereby direct the following: Section 1.

  • Heraldic Terms
    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

  • The Brooke Tomb Cobham Kent D'elboux

THE BROOKE TOMB, COBHAM, (From the H.E.) THE BROOKE TOMB, COBHAM superintendence has been given by Charles Spence Esq, of the Admiralty, Chatham (who indeed has spared neither time, trouble nor workman- ship in the operations) and by Mr. John Gough Nichols." In 1866, Charles Roach Smith, F.S.A., of Temple Farm, Strood, writes to the same periodical to tell how J. G. Waller had recently restored all Cobham monuments, and giving details. In 1840, apparently, the tomb "had all its fragments carefully put together and the general architectural features, which had been lost by the destruction of the columns, were restored in plaster of Paris." The final restoration was begun by a Mr. Richardson (I of metallic heelball fame) and completed by Waller. "No part of the old work has been tampered with; even the smallest fragment of heraldic colour has been preserved . and every part of new work added is given from fragments carefully preserved in the repairs of 1840." It will be observed that there is no other indication of Ha,sted's suggested canopy of marble. As reconstructed, the monument has no space for columns to support a canopy, and it would seem Hasted was misled by the broken and detached Ionic columns which belonged to the sides. In no account is there reference to the iron grille which now surrounds the tomb. The tomb is described by Waller in Archreologia Cantiana, Vol.

All Rights Reserved www.houseofnames.com 888-468-7686 Ancient History The history of the name Roetman brings us to Thuringia, a modern state located between Hessen and Lower Saxony in the west and Saxony in the east. Originally a Kingdom of the Germanic tribe of the Hermunderen, the land was conquered by the Franks and the Saxons in 531. A.D. In 634, King Dagobert appointed Radulf duke of the Thuringians, and the land became virtually independent under his rule. However, Charles Martel abolished the position of duke and brought Thuringia under the rule of Franconian counts, and divided up the territory. The Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne founded the Thuringian Mark (border region) in 804 as a defensive bulwark against the power of the Slavic peoples. In the Middle Ages the name Roetman has been traced back to Thuringia, where the family was known for its contributions to the prosperity and culture of the emerging feudal society. The family branched into numerous houses, many of which acquired estates and manors throughout the surrounding regions. Spelling Variations Throughout the development and evolution of a name's history, variations in spelling and pronunciation frequently occur.

WHO’S IN CHARGE? DOES THE PRESIDENT HAVE DIRECTIVE AUTHORITY OVER AGENCY REGULATORY DECISIONS? Robert V. Percival* Most regulatory statutes specify that agency heads rather than the President shall make regulatory decisions .1 Yet for more than four decades every President has established some program to require pre-decisional review and clearance of agency regulatory decisions, usually conducted by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).2 On January 18, 2011, President Barack Obama joined his seven predecessors in expressly endorsing regulatory review when he signed Executive Order 13,563.3 President Obama’s regulatory review program generally emulates those of his two most recent predecessors, relying on OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) to review only the most significant agency rulemaking actions.4 Although this form of presidential oversight of rulemaking is now well established, an important, unresolved question is whether the President has the authority to dictate the substance of regulatory decisions entrusted by statute to agency heads.
