    Reprinted with permission from the American Oil & Gas Historical Society http://aoghs.org/oil-almanac/sinclair-dinosaur/ Dinosaur Fever – Sinclair’s Icon by Bruce Wells, Executive Director Formed by Harry F. Sinclair in 1916, Sinclair Oil is one of the oldest continuous names in the oil industry. The Sinclair dinosaur first appeared in 1930. “Dino” quickly became a marketing icon whose popularity with children – and educational value – remains to this day. The first Sinclair “Brontosaurus” trademark made its debut in Chicago during the 1933-1934 “Century of Progress” World’s Fair. Sinclair published a special edition newspaper, Big News, describing the exhibit. The first “Brontosaurus” trademark made its debut in Chicago during the 1933-1934 “Century of Progress” World’s Fair. The Sinclair dinosaur exhibit drew large crowds once again at the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition. Four years later, even more visitors marvelled at an improved 70-foot dinosaur in Sinclair’s “Dinoland Pavilion” at the 1939-1940 New York World’s Fair. Today known more correctly as Apatosaurus, in the 1960s a 70-foot “Dino” Sinclair’s green giant and his accompanying cast of Jurassic traveled more 10,000 miles through 25 states – stopping at shopping centers and other venues where children were introduced to the wonders of the buddies, including Triceratops, Stegosaurus, a duck-billed Mesozoic era courtesy of Sinclair Oil.

Recalibrating Judicial Renominations in the Trump Administration Carl Tobias* Abstract Now that President Donald Trump has commenced the fifth month of his administration, federal courts experience 121 circuit and district court vacancies. These statistics indicate that Mr. Trump has a valuable opportunity to approve more judges than any new President. The protracted open judgeships detrimentally affect people and businesses engaged in federal court litigation, because they restrict the expeditious, inexpensive and equitable disposition of cases. Nevertheless, the White House has been treating crucial issues that mandate careful attention—specifically establishing a government, confirming a Supreme Court Justice, and keeping numerous campaign promises. How, accordingly, can President Trump fulfill these critical duties and his constitutional responsibility to nominate and, with Senate advice and consent, appoint judges? This Article initially canvasses judicial appointments in the administration of President Barack Obama.

  • Storied Lands & Waters of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway
    Part Two: Heritage Resource Assessment HERITAGE RESOURCE ASSESSMENT 24 | C h a p t e r 3 3. ALLAGASH HERITAGE RESOURCES Historic and cultural resources help us understand past human interaction with the Allagash watershed, and create a sense of time and place for those who enjoy the lands and waters of the Waterway. Today, places, objects, and ideas associated with the Allagash create and maintain connections, both for visitors who journey along the river and lakes, and those who appreciate the Allagash Wilderness Waterway from afar. Those connections are expressed in what was created by those who came before, what they preserved, and what they honored—all reflections of how they acted and what they believed (Heyman, 2002). The historic and cultural resources of the Waterway help people learn, not only from their forebears, but from people of other traditions too. “Cultural resources constitute a unique medium through which all people, regardless of background, can see themselves and the rest of the world from a new point of view” (U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, 1998, p. 49529). What are these “resources” that pique curiosity, transmit meaning about historical events, and appeal to a person’s aesthetic sense? Some are so common as to go unnoticed—for example, the natural settings that are woven into how Mainers think of nature and how others think of Maine. Other, more apparent resources take many forms—buildings, material objects of all kinds, literature, features from recent and ancient history, photographs, folklore, and more (Heyman, 2002). The term “heritage resources” conveys the breadth of these resources, and I use it in Storied Lands & Waters interchangeably with “historic and cultural resources.” Storied Lands & Waters is neither a history of the Waterway nor the properties, landscapes, structures, objects, and other resources presented in chapter 3.

    MAINE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, CONSERVATION AND FORESTRY MAINE LAND USE PLANNING COMMISSION CHAPTER 10, LAND USE DISTRICTS AND STANDARDS Adopted Rule Revisions: 2020 Miscellaneous Rule Revisions and New Marijuana Standards July 15, 2020 The following amendments propose changes to Chapter 10, Land Use Districts and Standards for Areas Served by the Maine Land Use Planning Commission. This document only includes relevant sections of Chapter 10. Revisions in Sections 10.21,I Planned Recreation Facility Development Subdistrict; 10.26,D, Minimum Setbacks; 10.27,G Recreational Gold Prospecting; and 10.27,S Commercial Businesses propose to repeal and replace the existing rule language in its entirety.

Many of the proposed revisions can be described as clerical corrections and generally include: factual corrections; improving the structure of citations or the consistency of use listings; and simple clarifications that do not change the meaning of the applicable standard. Of the substantive revisions, many are self-explanatory. Where necessary, further explanations of some changes have been included in [brackets]. These explanatory notes will not be included in the final rule. A generalized summary of the revisions is provided on the next page. 01-672 CHAPTER 10 10.02 Generalized Summary of Proposed Revisions by Topic Marijuana: The proposed revisions include standards to address odors produced by indoor and outdoor growing operations; protect against light pollution from the lighting within greenhouses; and address now conflicting restrictions for signs advertising activities that are illegal under state or federal laws or regulations.

That the State's nearly 32,000 miles of rivers and streams comprise one of its most important natural resources, historically vital to the state's commerce and industry and to the quality of life enjoyed by Maine people; [PL 1983, c. 458, §1 (NEW).] 2. Increase in value of rivers and streams. That the value of its rivers and streams has increased in recent years due to the improvement in the quality of their waters, the restoration of their fisheries, the growth in demand for hydropower and the expanding interest in river recreation activities, leading at times to conflict among these uses; [PL 1983, c. 458, §1 (NEW).] 3. Use of rivers and streams. That its rivers and streams afford the state's people with major opportunities for the enjoyment of nature's beauty, unique recreational activities and solace from an industrialized society, as well as for economic expansion through the development of hydropower, the revitalization of waterfronts and ports and the attraction of both tourists and desirable new industries; and [PL 1983, c. 458, §1 (NEW).] 4. Policy. That the best interests of the state's people are served by a policy which recognizes the importance that their rivers and streams have for meeting portions of several public needs, provides guidance for striking a balance among the various uses which affords the public maximum benefit and seeks harmony rather than conflict among these uses.

Rev. 246 Columbia Science and Technology Law Review Spring, 2016 Article HOW RELEVANT IS JUSTICE CARDOZO'S “BOOK OF WISDOM” TO PATENT DAMAGES? d1 J. Gregory Sidak a1 Copyright © 2016 by J. Gregory Sidak Section 284 of the Patent Act specifies that damages for patent infringement must be “adequate to compensate for the infringement, but in no event less than a reasonable royalty.” To determine a reasonable royalty, courts often rely on the hypothetical-negotiation framework, which aims to determine a royalty upon which the infringer and patent holder would have agreed, had they negotiated a license for the use of the patented technology immediately before the infringement began. Determining a reasonable royalty requires a court to return in time to the moment of the hypothetical negotiation and account for the limited information available to the parties at that time. That limited information would have affected the parties' negotiating positions and consequently the outcome of the hypothetical negotiation. Conversely, because the parties at the time of the hypothetical negotiation would not have known information that became available only after the infringement began, information that postdates the hypothetical negotiation would not have affected a hypothetically negotiated reasonable royalty.
