  • Presentation Evening
    Victoria Police Amateur Sports & Welfare Society 2016 Victoria Police Sports Awards Presentation Evening Tuesday 6th September, 2016 Moonee Valley Racing Club, Sitting in the Celebrity Room of the Moonee Valley Racing, two tables of club members were in for quite a night. Not surprisingly, it was somewhat hard to recognise some members in ‘After Five’ dress. Waste deep in mud or snow winching bogged cars; covered in dust or sand; hesitantly poking river crossings or snaking up mountain tracks or around valleys for a tasty picnic is more the norm. The humming around the large room as old acquaintances Russell Mark, OAM renewed friendships eased when Master of Ceremonies, World Champion Trap shooting Olympic gold medallist Russell Mark introduced the first of the 6 Olympic Games, G & S three Guest Speakers. C’wealth Games, G & B All were most informative and entertaining as they reminisced how they made their way to the top of their individual pyramids and future outlooks. Michelle Payne Simplice Ribouem Chris Naish First female jockey to win the 2016 Olympic AFL footballer and CEO of the Melbourne Cup weightlifter REACH FOUNDATION Throughout the night, recognition Awards were accepted by sportsmen and women, team captains and administrators, scholarship and Life Member inductees. Under Russell’s MC expertise, presentations were completed smoothly and efficiently and after a tasty supper suddenly the clock showed the night was over. A good time was had by all. Most Outstanding Individual Police Sporting or Welfare Achievement of the Year - Awarded to the Four Wheel Drive Clubs 'Blue Green Crew' project created by Marcus Nash which provided 200 Defence, Police & Emergency Services members a chance to get away from the stresses of serious work life.

ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE, THE MAFIA, AND INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM* Benjamin M. Shieber** I. INTRODUCTION The United States Constitution affects the ability of federal, state and local governments to combat criminal activity. Since the relevant constitutional provisions are in the form of broadly stated legal commands,' the constitutionality of specific law enforcement practices can only be determined when the courts, ultimately the Supreme Court of the United States, interpret these commands in cases in which they are challenged. As has long been recognized, the judicial role in the interpretation process is a creative one, for when conflicting policies compete for ac- ceptance, a court's interpretation will further one policy at the expense of another.' The court's policy preference can only be rational and respon- sible when it is based on "considerations of what is expedient for the community concerned."'3 This requires the court to know the communi- ty, determine how implementation of each competing policy would af- fect it, and choose the policy of greatest utility for that community.' Cases involving electronic surveillance' by law enforcement agen- * Copyright 1982, Benjamin M.

    STATE OF MINNESOTA Office of Governor Mark Dayton 116 Veterans Service Building ♦ 20 West 12th Street ♦ Saint Paul, MN 55155 September 23, 2014 The Honorable Jack Dalrymple Governor 600 East Boulevard Avenue Bismarck, North Dakota 58505 Dear Governor Dalrymple: I am writing to urge you and the other Members of the North Dakota Industrial Commission to quickly establish oil conditioning standards that will decrease the volatility of Bakken oil being exported from North Dakota Minnesota is one of the primary routes for this highly volatile oil; however, our state receives little direct benefit from its transport. Instead, Minnesotans experience the greatly increased risks in the event of a derailment. The amount of Bakken crude oil being shipped through Minnesota has increased dramatically since 2009. Currently, hundreds of rail cars on about seven trains, which carry more than 23 million gallons of crude oil, pass through Minnesota every day. These train movements have significant impacts on almost 3.5 million of the state's 5 million residents who live in communities along Bakken oil train routes. We are told that the volume of crude oil being shipped through Minnesota will continue to increase over the next decade. In Minnesota, we are doing our part to ensure the safety and security of our citizens and the communities in which they live. Last spring, I signed into law comprehensive prevention and emergency response improvements. However, only the State of North Dakota has direct control over the safety of the products being shipped into our state. I recognize the challenge of regulating an industry that has so rapidly expanded in your state and your obligation to support your state's thriving economy.

  • Mterrogatory No. 3
    i I- BEFORE THE FEDERAL ELjECTlON COMMISSION In the Matter of ) Witness Subpoena to ) m 3774 The National Right to) Work Committee ) SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO SUBPOENA The National Right to Work Committee (WRTWC), hereby submits this Supplemental Response to the Subpoena ?o Produce Documents/Order to Submit Written Answers served upcln “WC in the above-referenced MUR, following the June 10,1997, decision of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in Misc. Action No. 97-0160, ordering NRWC to respond to Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3, as modified by the Court. INTRODUCTORY COAKMENTS Intemgatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 relate to activities from more than four years ago. NRTWC has experienced changes in personnel over those years, and documents may no longer exist, if they ever existed. Nonetheless, “WC, with the assistance of counsel and staff, has conducted a diligent search for documents and facts, and responds on the basis of information so gathered. The Court limited the scope of Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 to the 1992 senatorial candidates, and the Commission, by its attorneys in discussions with “WC counsel, has further limited the scope to the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Thus, NRTWC’s search has focused on the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Also, the Commission and NRTWC, in briefing and in discussions between counsel, have agreed that NRTWC may redact documents to delete supporter-identitjing information from documents to be produced, and NRTWC is doing so. MTERROGATORY NO. 3 NRlwC did not engage in, or finance, in whole or in pa, “any activities relating to federal elections in October-December 1992 .

Stephen L. Wasby* U.S. courts of appeals seldom provide reasons for granting or denying rehearing en banc. The most likely reason for rehearing en banc is that other judges believe the three-judge panel deciding the case had erred, although rehearing is not sought each time judges disagree with a panel. The formal bases for rehearing a case en banc include the three desiderata of Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 35—conflict with circuit precedent (intracircuit conflict), conflict with Supreme Court rulings, and presence of an issue of “exceptional importance”—and courts’ rules and general orders. Judges introduce other considerations, such as an intercircuit conflict, institutional concerns about resources necessary to hear a case en banc, and whether a case should proceed directly to the Supreme Court. This Article presents a detailed description of reasons judges offer each other as they seek to have a case taken en banc or argue against such rehearing after a three-judge panel has filed its decision.
