  • 2010 in Review from Commerce
    Dec. 28, 2010 Invite a Friend [email protected] 2010 in review from Commerce Happy Holidays from all of us at the North Carolina Department of Commerce! As 2010 draws to a close, this week’s SYNC takes a look back at the year's top economic development accomplishments from across North Carolina. Like 2009, 2010 presented difficult challenges to the state’s economic development community, but there were also many success stories and examples of outstanding collaboration in all corners of the state. Established businesses such as Caterpillar, Siemens and IBM continued their commitment to North Carolina by expanding in the state. New partners such as Facebook helped cement North Carolina's reputation as a leader in the data center industry. This year also saw the launch of ThriveNC.com, a new website dedicated to meet the needs of business decision-makers and site selection consultants, as well as an expanded marketing program for in-state partners. Topping it off, Site Selection magazine once again named the state as the nation's best business climate. With continued leadership from Governor Bev Perdue and N.C. Department of Commerce Secretary Keith Crisco, along with the collaborative efforts of every member of the state's economic development community, the outlook for 2011 looks bright. In the coming year, SYNC will continue to bring you the news and information that builds collaborative relationships and helps us all stay in SYNC. Perdue announces small business initiatives Governor Bev Perdue on Jan. 13 announced her major policy priorities for the coming year – jobs and the economy, education, setting government straight, and keeping communities safe.

    Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2010 Remarks at a Reception for Senatorial Candidate Alexi Giannoulias in Chicago, Illinois October 7, 2010 The President. Hello, Chicago! Oh, it's good to be home! It is good to be home. Got all my friends—all my friends in the house. Audience member. Long time no see. The President: Long time no see. It is wonderful to see—I see so many familiar faces here. Just a couple of people I've got to make mention of. First of all, he may be in my remarks, but I just want to say that there is nobody who was a better partner to me when I was in the United States Senate, nobody who is a better friend to working families here in Illinois, and nobody who is a better debater on the floor of the United States Senate than the man to my left, Dick Durbin. So love Dick Durbin. Love Dick Durbin. I love Loretta Durbin more. [Laughter] But Dick Durbin I love. We also—if I'm not mistaken, we've got the junior Senator from Illinois, Roland Burris, in the house. Where's Roland? There he is right there. Appreciate Roland for his outstanding service. We've got the next Lieutenant Governor of the great State of Illinois, Sheila Simon, who, by the way, knows a little bit about good Senators. Congressman Danny Davis is in the house. Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky is here—love Jan. Attorney General Lisa Madigan is here. Comptroller Dan Hynes is here. Senate President John Cullerton is here.

    NEWS RELEASE CONTACT: January 15, 2010 Barb Bradley President and CEO FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Office: (919) 834-6623 ext. 224 Fax: (919) 829-7299 Email: [email protected] Action on health reform Imminent: N.C. House Democrats who voted against bill represent districts that would benefit the most from reform Raleigh -- Major agreements on health reform are being made today as House and Senate leadership aim to get a health insurance reform bill on the President's desk as soon as possible. The three North Carolina House Democrats who are likely to stand against the bill on the final vote represent districts that would benefit most from health reform. Congressmen Mike McIntyre, Larry Kissell and Heath Shuler -- the three North Carolina Democrats who voted against the House-passed health reform bill back in November -- represent districts with uninsured rates among the top five in the state. A report by the Urban Institute demonstrates that in both uninsured children and uninsured all non- elderly, those three Congressmen's districts are among the worst five in the state, and all are worse than the national averages. Here are the numbers: These are compared to national averages of 9.9% children uninsured and 17% all non-elderly uninsured. "We hope all our leaders in Washington realize how badly North Carolinians need health insurance reform," said Barb Bradley, President and CEO of Action for Children North Carolina, a nonpartisan, statewide child advocacy group. "Health care premiums are rising much faster than earnings in this state, and North Carolina is losing employer-based health care faster than almost every other state in the nation.

  • A Retrospective of House Rules Changes Since the 110Th Congress
    A Retrospective of House Rules Changes Since the 110th Congress Michael L. Koempel Senior Specialist in American National Government Judy Schneider Specialist on the Congress June 7, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R42395 A Retrospective of House Rules Changes Since the 110th Congress Summary One of the majority party’s prerogatives is writing House rules and using its numbers to effect the chamber’s rules on the day a new House convenes. Because all Members of the House stand for election every two years, the Members-elect constitute a new House that must adopt rules at the convening of each Congress. Although a new House largely adopts the chamber rules that existed in the previous Congress, it also adopts changes to those rules. Institutional and political developments during the preceding Congress inform rules changes that a party continuing in the majority might make. Those same developments, perhaps over the whole time that a party was in the minority, inform rules changes when the minority party wins enough seats to become the majority party and organize the House. This report analyzes rules changes made on only the opening day of the 110th, 111th, 112th, 113th, and 114th Congresses (the Congresses convening in 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2015, respectively), with references in footnotes to other selected legislation and actions during these Congresses that also affected House rules. Freestanding legislation such as the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act or a budget resolution can change House rules in consequential ways. Changes made by Democrats after they took majority control in the 110th Congress and by Republicans after they took majority control in the 112th Congress reflected critiques of the other party’s management of the House.

  • Teacher Resource Guide Laura Baker, Board President Cyberwyoming Alliance
    Malcolm Wallop Civic Engagement Program K-12 Curriculum Project History of Elections Hacking – Teacher Resource Guide Laura Baker, Board President CyberWyoming Alliance Targeted Grades: Middle School (6-8)/High School (9-12) Wyoming Social Studies Standards Lesson Aligns With: - 8th grade standards: SS8.1.1, SS8.1.2, SS8.4.1, SS8.4.2 and SS8.4.3. - High school standards: SS12.1.1, SS12.1.2, SS12.4.1, SS12.4.2 and SS12.4.3. Presentation Summary: Cybersecurity is a growing concern among governments, businesses, and citizens in the United States and around the world. One aspect of this, foreign election hacking, has become a growing challenge to modern democracies, including the United States. By definition, election hacking (or more broadly election tampering) is the attempt by governments (and non-government groups) to covertly or overtly influence the elections of another country. This presentation looks at the allegations of recent election hacking in the United States, its origins, and raises questions about the implications this has for our democracy. The presentation traces the origins of Russian hacking to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia and presents a number of questions for your students to ponder about the implications this has for democratic elections and the future of American democracy. As you review the presentation in class, you can ask students about what they already knew and what they learned from this video to set up a discussion of broader implications for hacking and cyberspace for election security and beyond. Suggested Discussion Questions: 1. Do you think election hacking should be taken more seriously today? Why or why not? 2.
