Arguing OriginalIntent in Legislative Debate A significant body of literature has examined how the Framers and rati- fiers of the Constitution 2 subsequently viewed the role of original intent in construing the Constitution. The primary focus of these works is how those views should influence today's courts in deciding controversies. 3 A less de- veloped question, however, is how members of the First Congress employed originalist constitutional arguments in making and debating proposed stat- utes.4 This study seeks to contribute to that exploration, not by discussing what the Founders believed about using originalist arguments, but by examin- ing the record of the First Federalist Congress to determine what originalist 5 arguments its members actually made. 1.

INTRODUCTION Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Implementation Plans are platforms for evaluating and tracking water quality protection and restoration. These plans have been designed to accommodate continual updates and revisions as new conditions and information warrant. In addition, field verification of watershed characteristics and listing data has been built into the preparation of the plans. The overall goal of the plans is to define a set of actions that will help achieve water quality standards in the state of Georgia. This implementation plan addresses the general characterist ics of the watershed, the sources of pollution, stakeholder s and public involvement, and education/o utreach activities. In addition, the plan describes regulatory and voluntary practices/control actions (management measures) to reduce pollutants, milestone schedules to show the development of the managemen t measures (measurable milestones), and a monitoring plan to determine the efficiency of the management measures.

  • Pilgrimage Schedule
    50th Annual Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage April 12-14, 2019 CLAYTON, RABUN COUNTY, GEORGIA You are cordially invited to attend the Georgia Botanical Society’s 50th Annual Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage April 12-14, 2019 to be headquartered in Clayton, GA with field trips nearby and in adjoining areas including the Carolinas. We had our 2012 Pilgrimage in Clayton. In 2019 some of the field trip sites will be the same, but this time we will be about three weeks earlier. This means we will focus more on lower elevation sites. The pilgrimage will consist of a Friday night social with light hors d'oeuvres, a Saturday banquet with a special program and more great food. And as usual, there will be our terrific field trips to some very special places located in the region. Nestled in the extreme northeastern corner of Georgia, the 377 square miles of Rabun County comprise only 5% of our state’s part of the Blue Ridge Physiographic Province. Sixty percent of the county is in public lands under the management of the US Forest Service or the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. This beautiful mosaic of scenic valleys, high rugged mountains, clear streams, and lush forests is attractive year round, but offers a special floristic bounty each spring. Pilgrimage Schedule Friday, APRIL 12 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Field trips will meet at various times and places. Please consult the description for your particular trip. 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Registration and social at The Diner, Rabun County Civic Center, located at 201 W.

  • The Migrant 25:4
    THE MIGRANT Published by the Tennessee Ornithological Society, to Record and Encourage the Study,of Birds in Tennessee. Issued in March, June, September and December. Val. 25 DECEMBER, 1954 No. 4 Bird Mortality During Night M igration OCTOBER 1954 On the nights of Oct. 5-6, 6-7, and 7-8, 1954, a tremendous number of migrating birds were killed at a. minimum of 27 localities scattered thru-out the eastern and southeastern states. The accidents occurred around airpopt ceilometers, brightly lighted areas, and at teIevision and radio towers. Similar accidents have occurred in previous years, those at ceilometers priar to 1952 being summarized by Howell, Laskey, and Tanner ( 1954) and one involving buildings being described by Ganier and others (1935), but never to our knowledge has there been such a widespread series of accidents on three succcssive nights. The causes of the accidents were not unique, but the widespread occurrence and the large number of birds killed at some $aces were unparalleled. There is presented here a general summary of these events followed by more detailed accounts of the accidents that happened in Tennessee. The detaiIs of most accidents in other states are being published in other journals, The information presented here has been compiled with the cooperation of J. W. Aldrich, A. F. Ganier, D. W. Johnston, F. C. Lincoln, 6.S. Robbins, and others, including those who have supplied the detailed accounts that follow. The "villain," if there was such, was the weather. In general, fall migration is stimulated by a drop in temperature and winds from the north, ie., by a cold front.
