Statement of Commissioner Ajit Pai on the D.C. Circuit's

NEWS Federal Communications Commission News Media Information 202 / 418-0500 445 12th Street, S.W. Internet: http://www.fcc.gov Washington, D. C. 20554 TTY: 1-888-835-5322 This is an unofficial announcement of Commission action. Release of the full text of a Commission order constitutes official action. See MCI v. FCC. 515 F 2d 385 (D.C. Circ 1974). STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER AJIT PAI ON THE D.C. CIRCUIT’S DECISION IN COMCAST v. FCC May 28, 2013 I am pleased that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has overturned the Commission’s 2012 decision that Comcast had unlawfully discriminated against Tennis Channel. This ruling is a big win for consumers. As former Commissioner McDowell and I explained in our joint dissent, the Commission’s ruling would have resulted in cable operators paying to carry channels that they didn’t want, and these higher programming costs would have come out of the pockets of American consumers. With this case concluded, I hope that the Commission will heed the lesson of today’s D.C. Circuit decision and refrain from attempting to micromanage cable operators’ programming decisions. Given the current state of the video marketplace, I agree with Judge Kavanaugh that “the FCC cannot tell Comcast how to exercise its editorial discretion about what networks to carry any more than the Government can tell Amazon or Politics and Prose or Barnes & Noble what books to sell; or tell the Wall Street Journal or Politico or the Drudge Report what columns to carry; or tell the MLB Network or ESPN or CBS what games to show; or tell SCOTUSblog or How Appealing or The Volokh Conspiracy what legal briefs to feature.” .

Digital Resources for Teaching the Environment, Sustainability, and Ecology in World History
JOHN MAUNU Digital Resources for Teaching the Environment, Sustainability, and Ecology in World History ncient cave art showed that humans did not regard themselves as the center of the Anatural world. Lascaux cave art showed how animals and the environment were the center of human life. The Neolithic Revolution saw a change over time as to the relationship between humans and the environment. Early Vedic shamans wrote poems on the power of forests and nature; Taoists and the Buddha shared a deep respect for the environment and nature. However, with the Neolithic Revolution, humans began moving from the Lascaux perspective of humans in a secondary role in the environment to viewing nature and the environment as real estate, “territory,” and property to be dominated and exploited; since then most historians wrote about the environment from this human-centered perspective. However, by the mid twentieth century, there evolved among many environmentalists in the United States a model for understanding global environmental history in terms of the interaction between humankind and the environment, which was soon adopted by most world historians. The following digital resources reflect these shifts—these “changes over time”—in the historiography of the global environmental history. This database is divided into sec- tions: Environmental Racism/Justice, Ecofeminism; Queer Ecology; Far Right Environ- mentalism; Global Sustainability and Environment Resources; Teaching Sustainability and Environmental History, with a sub-heading, Teaching the Environment and Collapse of Civilization Resources; Eco-Fiction/Climate Fiction; Environment/Nature in Art and Architecture; Religion and Environment; Digital Resources arranged by global regions, such as the Artic, with sources arranged within regions chronologically using common world historian periodization; and, finally, Environment Journals/Websites.

The Literary Candidate
CHAPTER THIRTEEN The Literary Candidate osh Kalven loved walking through Hyde Park—across the University J of Chicago’s campus, past his university-affiliated high school, and along the Lake Michigan shore. Those strolls guaranteed him some teen- age freedom; they also got him to his part-time job at 57th Street Books, an independent bookstore that belonged to the neighborhood’s Seminary Co-op. One day in the spring of 1996, Kalven walked past a yard sign on Lake Park Avenue. It was odd that he noticed it; most teenagers tune out bids for the state senate. It was even odder that he recognized the name. Where had he seen that name, Obama? Oh yeah, Kalven remembered, that guy’s a member at the bookstore. Barack Obama first joined the Co-op in 1986, and for many years he would duck into 57th Street’s basement location, wearing a leather jacket in the winter and shirtsleeves rolled up in the summer, browsing quietly while the shop echoed with the sounds of the apartment dwellers above. Obama often came at night, just before closing, circling the new releases table in the front, studying the staff selections along the back, and usu- ally leaving with a small stack of novels and nonfiction. At the counter, he would spell his name to get the member discount—a treasured and anonymous ritual unless your name was strange enough, and your visits frequent enough, that a clerk might remember you. Obama’s anonymity ended for good in 2004, when he gave his iconic keynote at the Democratic National Convention.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05795889 Date: 10/30/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: PIR <preines Sent: Friday, April 6, 2012 4:03 PM To: Cc: Huma Abedin Subject: Elle: "At the Pinnacle of Hillary Clinton's Career" At the Pinnacle of Hillary Clinton's Career Secretary of State Clinton has won over her harshest critics and become so popular that some Democrats are envisioning a future in which she replaces Joe Biden as vice president on the 2012 ticket and then—dare they imagine it—takes the top job in 2016. By Rachael Combe Elle Magazine April 05, 2012 I am late for a black-tie dinner, running down Manhattan's West Side Highway in a cocktail dress and bare feet, evening sandals clutched in one hand, a recorder and notebook in the other. In a covered garage at Chelsea Piers, I catch up to my mark—a string of town cars, SUVs, and police cars, lights blazing—just as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton steps onto the red carpet. Her entourage files into a curtained-off room to the side of the banquet hall, and her security detail waves me in behind them—I've been following her for a few weeks now, from Washington, DC, to Europe and now New York City. I'm frantically scanning the group for the State Department press aide, my eyes still adjusting to the darkened antechamber, when I practically walk into Secretary Clinton. She looks at me; I look at her.
