Thomas Reed Powell, “Some Aspects of American Constitutional Law,” 53 Harvard Law Review 529, 537 (1940). 2006 Oregon Appellate Almanac 5 “[W]E ARE NOT FINAL BECAUSE WE ARE INFALLIBLE, BUT WE ARE INFALLIBLE ONLY BECAUSE WE ARE FINAL.” Brown v. Allen, 344 US 443, 540, 73 S Ct 397, 97 L ED 1801 (1953) (Jackson, J., concurring). 6 2006 Oregon Appellate Almanac WELCOME & SUCH WELCOME On behalf of the Executive Committee of the Appellate Practice Section of the Oregon State Bar, the editors of Volume I of your Oregon Appellate Almanac extend to each of you a hearty WELCOME! We aim to enlighten and entertain without the ponderous trappings of academic publishing. Given that goal, the title— “Almanac”—seemed particularly apt, and we thank Paul Conable for suggesting it. Of course, “almanac” implies “annual.” Make no mistake about it, this is only Volume I. The Executive Committee intends this endeavor to be an annual event and one of the continuing benefits of membership in the Appellate Practice Section. We hope that you will enjoy and make much use out of the outstanding articles and other material contained in the pages that follow. Suffice it to say, we consider ourselves extremely lucky to have obtained insightful and witty submissions from some of Oregon’s most distinguished lawyers and judges. And we are particularly honored by the dedication from the Honorable Wallace P. Carson, Jr., Oregon’s longest serving Chief Justice (and, for those who know him, one of the best eggs ever hatched). So, read on and, again, welcome. AND SUCH As handsome an addition as this cardstock bound edition will make to your most cherished bookshelf, like fine wine, its value will only improve over time and become all the more impressive when sitting—hopefully dog-eared, torn, and coffee-stained—next 2006 Oregon Appellate Almanac 7 to future volumes (which we promise to bind in equally garish colors). For that highest value to be realized, however, we need your help. In the 165 years since Ewing Young died intestate in 1841 in what was then known as the Oregon Country, thereby necessitating the establishment of some form of law and judicial power, Oregon’s legal tradition has been a rich one indeed. And, if today’s headlines are any indication, Oregon’s appellate courts will continue to play a vital role in the development of our state’s law and jurisprudence. It is our intent through the Almanac to capture some of that richness, and we need you to write about those things from Oregon’s legal past, its present, and its future that you find most interesting. Hopefully, at least some of your colleagues will share your taste. Irreverence, provocative submissions, and ephemera (it is an almanac, after all) are encouraged. Footnotes and articles measured by the pound are not. Expect only limited editorial involvement and control (but remember that, ultimately, the Oregon State Bar is publishing these things). Typesetting is our business. Little or no effort, however, will be made by your volunteer editors to check citations, verify facts, or clean up prose. And no effort will be made to provide either defense or indemnity. These are your submissions and, for the most part, you are on your own. If these words or the writings that follow pique your own interest to the point that you are interested in contributing to Volume II, then by all means do so! Next year’s editor will be Walter J. Ledesma, chair elect of the Appellate Practice Section’s Executive Committee. With the exception of compliments, kudos, or other good tidings (please send those to either or both of us directly), please present any questions, concerns, criticisms, or anything that will require actual effort to Walter at (503) 981-0101 or [email protected]. Our work here, a labor of love though it has been, is done. Keith & Lora 8 2006 Oregon Appellate Almanac “GREAT CASES LIKE HARD CASES MAKE BAD LAW.

  • A Counterintelligence Reader, Volume 2 Chapter 1, CI in World
    CI in World War II 113 CHAPTER 1 Counterintelligence In World War II Introduction President Franklin Roosevelts confidential directive, issued on 26 June 1939, established lines of responsibility for domestic counterintelligence, but failed to clearly define areas of accountability for overseas counterintelligence operations" The pressing need for a decision in this field grew more evident in the early months of 1940" This resulted in consultations between the President, FBI Director J" Edgar Hoover, Director of Army Intelligence Sherman Miles, Director of Naval Intelligence Rear Admiral W"S" Anderson, and Assistant Secretary of State Adolf A" Berle" Following these discussions, Berle issued a report, which expressed the Presidents wish that the FBI assume the responsibility for foreign intelligence matters in the Western Hemisphere, with the existing military and naval intelligence branches covering the rest of the world as the necessity arose" With this decision of authority, the three agencies worked out the details of an agreement, which, roughly, charged the Navy with the responsibility for intelligence coverage in the Pacific" The Army was entrusted with the coverage in Europe, Africa, and the Canal Zone" The FBI was given the responsibility for the Western Hemisphere, including Canada and Central and South America, except Panama" The meetings in this formative period led to a proposal for the organization within the FBI of a Special Intelligence Service (SIS) for overseas operations" Agreement was reached that the SIS would act

  • Beverage Container Regulation: Economic Implications and Suggestions for Model Legislation
    Beverage Container Regulation: Economic Implications and Suggestions For Model Legislation Charles M. Gudger* and Kenneth D. Walters* INTRODUCTION It is a paradox of modem industrial societies that while they recently have been encountering shortages of many natural resources, more and more resources are thrown away every year. These societies face shortages of energy and at the same time experience an ever- increasing glut of solid waste residuals and litter. In the United States, production of solid waste reached the rate of 3.32 pounds per person per day in 1971.1 A prime contributor to this trend has been the growing use of throw-away consumer product packaging. Packaging is the largest com- ponent of municipal solid waste in the United States, 34 percent by weight.2 Annual U.S. consumption of packaging materials increased from 35 million tons in 1958 to 59.5 million tons in 1970, and will reach a projected 73.5 million tons in 1976, equivalent to 661 pounds of packaging per person per year.3 The use of nonreturnable beverage containers is a significant com- ponent of the solid waste problem. The growing use of nonreturnable beverage containers represents a classic success story in modern market- ing in the United States. In 1958, only two percent of the soft drink packages and 42 percent of the beer containers were nonreturnable., By 1972, 59 percent of soft drink packages and 77 percent of beer contain- ers were nonreturnable.5 In 1958, 12 billion beverage containers were * Associate Professor of Management, Oregon State University.

  • Fall Clinical Meeting October 4-9, 2014
    Texas Club of Internists FALL CLINICAL MEEtiNG October 4-9, 2014 The Nines Hotel Portland, Oregon CME jointly sponsored by Oregon Health & Science University and the Texas Club of Internists TCI Fall Clinical Meeting President’s Welcome Message Leighton and I are excited that you will be joining us in Portland, Oregon this fall. We have spent a week there each of the last two summers, and have come to love this city. We know you will enjoy the trip to Mt. Hood on Sunday: we watched people skiing there in July! And we don’t think the club has ever offered a short hike as part of the Sunday outing. But that’s optional, and shops in Hood River await the more urban members. Of course we get to visit the Willamette Valley for wine tasting, and that will take place on Tuesday. Make special note of the options for wineries, as you may want to experience some others before or after the meeting. While some of the places we would have liked to visit wouldn’t take large groups during harvest season, you may be able to drop in on your own. We also hope you have an extra day or two to enjoy the amazing Oregon coastline. OHSU is excited about our group. The CME department tells us they never had such a willing group of speakers as for this meeting. If you get the chance, take the aerial tram up to the campus. It’s spectacular. We have an out-of-sight band for Wednesday night.

  • Road to Oregon Written by Dr
    The Road to Oregon Written by Dr. Jim Tompkins, a prominent local historian and the descendant of Oregon Trail immigrants, The Road to Oregon is a good primer on the history of the Oregon Trail. Unit I. The Pioneers: 1800-1840 Who Explored the Oregon Trail? The emigrants of the 1840s were not the first to travel the Oregon Trail. The colorful history of our country makes heroes out of the explorers, mountain men, soldiers, and scientists who opened up the West. In 1540 the Spanish explorer Coronado ventured as far north as present-day Kansas, but the inland routes across the plains remained the sole domain of Native Americans until 1804, when Lewis and Clark skirted the edges on their epic journey of discovery to the Pacific Northwest and Zeb Pike explored the "Great American Desert," as the Great Plains were then known. The Lewis and Clark Expedition had a direct influence on the economy of the West even before the explorers had returned to St. Louis. Private John Colter left the expedition on the way home in 1806 to take up the fur trade business. For the next 20 years the likes of Manuel Lisa, Auguste and Pierre Choteau, William Ashley, James Bridger, Kit Carson, Tom Fitzgerald, and William Sublette roamed the West. These part romantic adventurers, part self-made entrepreneurs, part hermits were called mountain men. By 1829, Jedediah Smith knew more about the West than any other person alive. The Americans became involved in the fur trade in 1810 when John Jacob Astor, at the insistence of his friend Thomas Jefferson, founded the Pacific Fur Company in New York.

    World War II 1931 - 1945 The Treaty of Versailles • Germany lost land to surrounding nations • War reparations – Allies collect $ to pay back war debts to US – Germany pays $57 trillion (modern day equivalent) – Germans are bankrupt, embarrassed, guilt ridden, and angry. The Rise of Dictators The legacy of World War I and the effects of the Great Depression led to mass unemployment, inflation, and the threat of communism in Europe. These factors caused widespread political unrest. The Rise of Dictators Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler preached that became known as . Mussolini became prime minister of Italy in 1922 and soon established a dictatorship. Hitler and his Nazi Party won control of the German government in 1933 and quickly overthrew the nation’s constitution. The Rise of Dictators By 1929, Joseph Stalin was dictator of the Soviet Union, which he turned into a totalitarian state. Stalin took brutal measures to control and modernize industry and agriculture. Stalin had four million people killed or imprisoned on false charges of disloyalty to the state. The Spanish Civil War The Spanish Civil War offered an opportunity to test the new German military tactics and the strategy of Die Totale Krieg (The Total War). Japanese Aggression General Hideki Tōjō was the Prime Minister of Japan from 1941 to 1944. In 1931, military leaders urged the to invade Manchuria, a province in northern China that is rich in natural resources. Italian Aggression In 1935, ordered the invasion of Ethiopia. Italian troops roared in with machine guns, tanks, airplanes, and chemical weapons quickly overwhelming the poorly equipped Ethiopian army and killing thousands of civilians.

This project evaluated and demonstrated the feasibili of. multi-track voice writing as a court reporting system. Multi-track voice writing combines the use of electronic recording with a professionally trained voice writer. The voice writer dictates in court the official verbztim record of proceedings on tape and the voices of partici2acts are simultaneously recorded on the same tape. Twenty applicants completed a three-month training program, and achieved excellent levels of proficiency on several state and federal court reporter examinations. In attdition, these voice writers were evaluated by judges in seven states, and judicial reaction was strongly favorable.
