[See Supplement to Merit Brief of Appellant The Board of Education of the Canal Winchester City School District, pg. 19]. The Franklin County Auditor has the Property listed as permanent parcel number 184-002076-00. The Property consists of one building containing a total of 28,484 square feet with 60 guest rooms, a 460 square foot meeting room, a heated indoor pool and exercise room. [See Supplement to Merit Brief of Appellant The Board of Education of the Canal Winchester City School District, pg. 54- 55]. The Property sits on 1.79 acres of land. [See Supplement to Merit Brief of Appellant The Board of Education of the Canal Winchester City School District, pg. 53]. Specifically, the Property consists of a mixture of double and king rooms with 3 handicap accessible single rooms. [See Supplement to Merit Brief of Appellant The Board of Education of the Canal Winchester City School District, pg. 55]. Appellee AP Hotels of Illinois, Inc. filed a complaint with the Franklin County Board of Revision seeking a reduction in value to $1,500,000 for tax year 2002. [See Supplement to Merit Brief of Appellant The Board of Education of the Canal Winchester City School District, pg. 119]. The Franklin County Board of Revision ordered the fair market value of the Property unchanged at $2,300,800 for tax year 2002 and carried forward. [See Supplement to Merit Brief of Appellant The Board of Education of the Canal Winchester City School District, pg. 120]. Appellee AP Hotels of Illinois, Inc. then filed an appeal with the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals, seeking a reduction in value to $1,629,100. [See Supplement to Merit Brief of Appellant The Board of Education of the Canal Winchester City School District, pg. 121]. At the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals, the Appellee AP Hotels of Illinois, Inc. relied solely upon the testimony and written report of Mr. Sam Koon, appraiser, According to Mr. Koon's written report and testimony before the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals, Mr. Koon's opinion of value of the Property, was $1,600,000 as of January 1, 2003. [See Supplement to Merit Brief of Appellant The Board of Education of the Canal Winchester City School District, pg. 39]. The relevant tax lien date 'in this case, however is January 1, 2002, thus Mr. Koon's opinion of value was twelve months after the relevant tax lien date. Appellant The Board of Education of the Canal Winchester City School District filed a Motion to Exclude the testimony and written appraisal report introduced by Appellee AP Hotels of Illinois, Inc. as Mr. Koon's report does not express an opinion of true value for the subject property as of January 1, 2002, the relevant tax lien date. [See Supplement to Merit Brief of Appellant The Board of Education of the Canal Winchester City School District, pg. 122]. The Ohio Board of Tax Appeals over-ruled Appellant The Board of Education of the Canal Winchester City School District's Motion and in its February 16, 2007 Decision and Order ruled in favor of the Appellee AP Hotels of Illinois, Inc., assigning a value of $1,600,000 to the Property as of January 1, 2002. [See Supplement to Merit Brief of Appellant The Board of Education of the Canal Winchester City School District, pg. 1]. Appellant The Board of Education of the Canal Winchester City School District filed an appeal to this Honorable Supreme Court of Ohio on March 16, 2007 on the basis that the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals abused its discretion in finding that Mr. Sam Koon's appraisal report was competent and probative evidence for tax lien date January 1, 2002. [See Merit Brief of Appellant The Board of Education of the Canal Winchester City School District, Appendix pg. 1]. Although not part of the statutory transcript or record before this Supreme Court of Ohio, pursuant to Ohio Evidence Rule 201, Appellant The Board of Education of the Canal Winchester City School District requests that this Supreme Court take Judicial Notice of a sale of the Property which took place on May 24, 2006, with a sale price of $2,375,000.

  • On Being Too Early Or Too Late in Hegel's Philosophy
    PROBLEMIWhat’s the INTERNATIONAL, Time? On Being TooATEIZEM vol. Early 4, 2020; or PROBLEMI,Too Late in Hegel’s vol. 58, no.Philosophy 11-12, 2020 © Society for Theoretical Psychoanalysis What’s the Time? On Being Too Early or Too Late in Hegel’s Philosophy Mladen Dolar It’s too late. It’s over, it’s finished, it’s done with. We’ve missed it, whatever the “it” was, and if it’s too late, what are we waiting for? What’s left for us to do? Why did we come to this conference to endlessly discuss it being too late? Maybe we are not taking the title of our conference seriously. Or maybe we are giving in to either one or the other of the two wrong reactions provoked by the title: first, the attitude of mourning, of bemoaning, lamentation over “it” being too late, having missed the right time, over the irretrievable loss; and second, the hasty assertion, the proclaimed assurance that no, no, it’s not too late, there’s still time, we have to act swiftly, we must hurry up to catch up. So we linger on, either to mournfully do nothing (no doubt enjoying our wretchedness and lamentation) or to engage in hyperactivity to make up for the loss. But if these two reactions are mistaken, what would then be a more proper response? Are these the only alternatives? “It’s too late”—but too late in relation to what? How to establish the scale, the measure, the timeline, the schedule on the basis of which one can proclaim “it” being too late? Hence my title, “What’s the time?”—and I have to mention in passing that in German, the language of Hegel, the common expression runs “Wie spät ist es?,” or “How late is it?,” so the terms of the question already presuppose that it’s late, it’s only a question of 31 Mladen Dolar degree, and in German the answer imposes itself quite naturally.

  • Onair with Akin Gump
    OnAir with Akin Gump Ep. 35: IP Disputes at the ITC: What You Need to Know July 15, 2020 Jose Garriga: Hello, and welcome to OnAir with Akin Gump. I'm your host, Jose Garriga. The United States International Trade Commission is a high-profile, respected forum for the adjudication of intellectual property and trade disputes. One area of its work that is critical to cross-border business involves investigations it conducts under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. In its own words, the ITC investigates and makes determinations in proceedings involving imports claimed to injure a domestic industry or violate U.S. intellectual property rights. In this episode, Akin Gump intellectual property partners Cono Carrano and David Vondle will be discussing the role of the ITC, recent matters that have made headlines, the impact of COVID-19 on its proceedings, and more. Welcome to the podcast. Cono, David, thank you both for making the time to appear on the show today. This is an interesting topic with a lot of ongoing applications and significance for business. So, just to set the stage for listeners, Cono, could you outline what it is exactly that Section 337 covers and how it falls within the purview of the International Trade Commission? Cono Carrano: Thank you. The ITC continues to be a very attractive forum for intellectual property holders. 337 makes it unlawful to import or sell articles into the United States that involve unfair methods of competition or unfair acts. For example, unfair acts include patent, trademark or copyright infringement, and unfair competition includes violations of antitrust, trade secret misappropriation, trade dress in common law, trademark infringement.

  • 1 Parents' Experiences of Sharing Neonatal Information and Decisions
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Institute of Education EPrints Parents’ experiences of sharing neonatal information and decisions: consent, cost and risk Priscilla Alderson Joanna Hawthorne PhD Senior Research Associate Margaret Killen BA RN RHV Research Officer Social Science and Medicine 62: 1319-1329 Abstract This paper is about the care of babies with confirmed or potential neurological problems in neonatal intensive care units. Drawing on recent ethnographic research, the paper considers parents‟ experiences of sharing information and decisions with neonatal staff, and approaches that support or restrict parents‟ involvement. There are growing medico-legal pressures on practitioners to inform parents and involve them in their babies‟ care. Data are drawn from observations in four neonatal units in southern England, and interviews with the parents of 80 babies and with 40 senior staff. The paper compares standards set by recent guidance, with parents‟ views about their share in decision-making, their first meetings with their babies, „minor‟ decision-making, the different neonatal units, being a helpless observer and missing opportunities. Parents‟ standards for informed decisions are summarised, with their reported views about two-way decision-making, and their practical need to know. Whereas doctors emphasise distancing aspects of the consent process, parents tend to value „drawing together‟ aspects.

Stevens J. Russell Cades With an Introduction by Maryanna Shaw Stockholm Interviews Conducted by Harriet Nathan and Ann Lage 1989-1991 Copyright 1995 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ This manuscript is made available for research purposes.
