1605026 NY Spotlight Memo
! MEMORANDUM TO: Interested Parties FROM: Alixandria Lapp, Executive Director, House Majority PAC DATE: May 26, 2016 RE: Congressional Democrats Poised for Pick-Ups Across the Empire State With just over a month until New York’s June 28 congressional primaries, and just under six months from the November general election, Democrats are poised for significant pick-ups in congressional districts across the Empire State. This year Democrats are overwhelmingly on offense in New York – with at least six Republican held seats that could be flipped this November. Multiple Republican incumbents and challengers are finding their already-precarious political prospects diminishing even further as they struggle with a damaging party brand, a toxic presidential ticket-mate, and increasingly prove themselves out of touch with their own districts. Bottom line: With New York’s congressional Republicans increasingly vulnerable heading into the fall, Democrats are overwhelmingly on offense and well-positioned to win key districts across the state in 2016. New York Republicans Tied to Toxic Brand As in any presidential year, down-ballot races will be heavily shaped by the top of the ticket. For Republicans, particularly in New York, that’s bad news. Even before the GOP presidential race took shape, New York’s congressional Republicans faced significant structural political challenges. In six competitive Republican-held districts, President Obama either won or came within 1% of winning in 2008 and 2012. Now with Donald Trump as their presidential ticket-mate, down-ballot prospects for New York Republicans are far worse. Earlier this month, a poll by Morning Consult found that nearly half of all Americans would “be less likely to support candidates for public office if they say they back Donald Trump.” And despite Donald Trump’s big win in New York’s presidential primary, there’s no indication that it will translate to success in November. -

Openstack Designate
OpenStack Designate Stephan Lagerholm Graham Hayes What is OpenStack? OpenStack is a free open standard cloud computing platform, mostly deployed as infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) in both public and private clouds where virtual servers and other resources are made available to users. The software platform consists of interrelated components that control diverse, multi-vendor hardware pools of processing, storage, and networking resources throughout a data center. Users either manage it through a web-based dashboard, through command-line tools, or through RESTful web services. OpenStack began in 2010 as a joint project of Rackspace Hosting and NASA. As of 2012, it was managed by the OpenStack Foundation (Source: Wikipedia) 2 Designate • Designate started as a project to maintain DNS infrastructure for OpenStack Users. It was an ecosystem project that was in production at both HP’s and Rackspace’s clouds. During 2015, Designate was moved into OpenStack Foundation and in 2017 it became a registered trademark. • Designate is providing API, CLI and a Graphical User interface so that OpenStack Users can setup and make changes to DNS data. The zones are thereafter exposed to secondary DNS servers via Zone Transfers. • Officially Bind 9.X and PowerDNS 4.X is supported although other DNS servers are known to work too. Most resource Record Types such as A, AAAA, PTR, CNAME, NS, MX, etc are supported 3 Producer Producer Backend Producer Producer Producer Worker Customer Facing API Central DNS Servers Standard XFR Secured by TSIG Nova / DB Mini -

'Internet for All Act of 2021' Joint Author
Comments by Co-Authors of AB 14 the ‘Internet for All Act of 2021’ Joint Author Assemblymember Eloise Reyes (D – San Bernadino) “The pandemic has only emphasized and expanded the digital divide that exists in this state, especially for our vulnerable communities who have historically lacked connection. In my own county of San Bernardino, we have more than 27,000 households without internet service. I am honored to joint author Assemblymember Aguiar-Curry’s bill to expand broadband infrastructure so that we can connect Californians to the resources they need to thrive in the digital age.” Joint Author Assemblymember Rob Bonta (D- Oakland) “The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed and expanded the gaps in broadband connectivity, and further harmed Californians in vulnerable and rural communities,” said Assemblymember Rob Bonta (D-Oakland), joint author of The Internet for All Act. “Now more than ever, we must close this digital divide and ensure all Californians have the access they need for employment, telemedicine, distance learning, and other vital online activities.” Joint Author Assemblymember Sharon Quirk-Silva (D- Fullerton) “The digital divide that we see across the state has made it clear that students struggling to connect to broadband will fall even further behind,” said Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva (D-Fullerton). Joint Author Assemblymember Cristina Garcia (D- Bell Gardens) “In light of the COVID - 19 pandemic, it is now more evident than ever that broadband internet connectivity issues for our students has further widened the gap between those with access and those without. Our most vulnerable students in both rural and urban areas are being left further behind with each day they can’t sign onto their classes or get kicked out of a lesson due to low internet speeds. -

Limited Appearance Statement Of
July 26, 2013 By US Mail Commissioner Allison M. Macfarlane U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Mail Stop 0-16G4 Washington, DC 20555 Dear Allison M. Macfarlane, Enclosed is a copy of "Generating Influence," Common Cause/New York's comprehensive study of Entergy Corporation's political spending and public relations campaign to secure new operating licenses for the Indian Point nuclear power plant in Buchanan, New York. As you are well aware, Entergy is currently in the late stages of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission license renewal process that began in 2007. While Common Cause takes no position on the relicensing of Indian Point, we strongly believe that the final decision should be based on objective analysis of the costs and benefits and not unduly shaped by the well-funded lobbying, campaign contributions, and publicity campaigns of Entergy Corporation. As such, it is crucial that NRC officials are fully aware of the extraordinary extent to which the appearance of "public support" for the Indian Point nuclear power plant appears to have been generated by the deceptive strategies of Entergy Corporation. In addition to the "inside game" of lobbying and campaign contributions, Entergy has engaged in an extensive "outside game" of public relations and grassroots "astroturfing" strategies. From making targeted campaign contributions and hiring former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to appear in an advertising campaign, to cultivating influential"front group" coalitions of business interests, unions, local political leaders, and non-profits (NY AREA and SHARE), Entergy is working the full spectrum of lobbying and publicity strategies in an all-out effort to keep Indian Point open. -
