This report is being filed in compliance with the terms and conditions found in the Biological Opinion for the Proposed Relicensing of the Wells Hydroelectric Project (Biological Opinion) issued by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on March 16, 2012 and as found in section 4.2.1 (Wells Study) and section 4.2.2 (Weir Study) of the Bull Trout Management Plan, which is required under the District’s Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Finally, the study is also a compliance measure as found in the Section 18 Fishway Prescription for the Wells Project. On October 15, 2013 FERC issued an Order deferring the Weir Study to year five of the District’s new operating license to allow the District to combine the Weir Study (Year 1 requirement) and the Wells Study (Year 5 requirement) at the request of the USFWS, the Aquatic Settlement Work Group (Aquatic SWG), and the District. Consistent with the October 15, 2013 FERC Order the attached report (Exhibit A) was carried out to meet compliance criteria for both studies.

Immigration: Immigration reform that is driven by proper national security concerns and remedies based on a fair and accurate appraisal of deficiencies in the immigration process, and not simply on national origin.

  • Science of Wrestling
    Science of Wrestling Annual Research Review 2008 David Curby Preface This annual publication is dedicated to the pursuit and use of the knowledge surrounding the noble and timeless sport of wrestling. Each year, an annotated bibliography of the scientific research, published in English, during the year in review, will be compiled and shared with those who work in the wrestling community. It is my hope that this work will spark further research, along with helping to educate those who are in a position to apply this knowledge. I am proud to be affiliated with this great sport. Thanks to our national governing body - USA Wrestling. Thanks to the National Coaching Staff for the support that they have given to me. Rich Bender, Mitch Hull, Dave Bennett, Steve Fraser, Momir Petkovic, Ike Anderson, Terry Steiner, and Anatoly Petrosyan always respond to my questions. Congratulations to Zeke Jones, as he assumes his new position of National freestyle coach. I am grateful for the chance to work with Ivan Ivanov and Jim Gruenwald and their outstanding wrestlers at the USOEC in Marquette, Michigan. Thanks to my wife Lynne, and my children Nicholas, Jacob and Courtney, who have been a big part of my work in the sport, and have patiently supported me. Larry Slater has provided most of the action photographs found throughout this document. On the cover are his pictures of noteworthy American wrestlers from 2008. These are Henry Cejudo (Olympic freestyle Gold at 55 kg), Clarissa Chun (World Championship Gold at 48 kg), Randi Miller (Olympic Bronze at 63 kg), and Adam Wheeler (Olympic Greco-Roman Bronze at 96 kg).

  • Poison Murder and Expert Testimony: Doubting the Physician in Late Nineteenth-Century America
    Poison Murder and Expert Testimony: Doubting the Physician in Late Nineteenth-Century America Mark Essig* By most historical accounts, the years around 1900 witnessed the triumph of the expert, as the Jacksonian era's egalitarian suspicion of specialized knowledge was replaced by a respect bordering upon awe. "[T]he last third of the nineteenth century saw the virtual over- throw of effective resistance to specialization," John Higham has written. "By 1920... America had embraced the specialist and sanc- tified the expert with an enthusiasm unmatched elsewhere."' Physicians often occupy a starring role in this narrative of trium- phant expertise. After half a century of professional disarray, doctors at the turn of the twentieth century built a remarkably powerful and prestigious professional organization and won control over edu- cation, licensing, drug distribution, and other aspects of medical practice. 2 An older school of medical history attributed the profes- sion's new social power to scientific advances: as the effectiveness of medicine increased, so did its social authority. More recent histories have pointed out that medicine's advances in cultural authority preceded and outstripped therapeutic advances. By this account, a few notable medical and scientific breakthroughs-including a vaccine for rabies and a drug for syphilis-convinced the public that medicine was worthy of respect even when its claims to therapeutic * This Article is adapted from my doctoral thesis, Science and Sensation: Poison Murder and Forensic Medicine in Nineteenth-Century America (2000) (Ph.D. dissertation, Cornell University). For their generous assistance with earlier drafts of this project, my thanks to R. Laurence Moore, Joan Jacobs Brumberg, Peter Dear, and Michael Kammen.

  • Midterm Elections
    Immigration and the 2010 Midterm Elections INTRODUCTION Immigration had a significant impact on the 2010 elections and is now a top election issue. Certainly the economy and unemployment were the dominant issues across the nation, but more candidates campaigned on immigration than in past elections. They posted position statements on their campaign websites, dedicated precious resources to radio and television commercials on the issue, and some even used the issue to attack their opponents in a manner that may have made the crucial difference in the outcome. In addition, immigration was a frequent topic of debate, not only in official settings, but at campaign stops. Often the question asked was whether a candidate supported Arizona’s new immigration enforcement law, SB 1070. The popularity of SB 1070, combined with brutal drug cartel violence along the Southern border, a high unemployment rate, and strong voter disapproval of President Obama’s handling of the immigration issue, meant that candidates could not avoid the issue as easily as in previous elections. To be sure, there were candidates who were intentionally vague or entirely silent on immigration. This was especially so in close races where committing to amnesty would likely alienate independent voters critical to pulling out a victory. In other instances, candidates would give conflicting statements, such as voicing their opposition to amnesty while in the same breath supporting “comprehensive” immigration reform (interpreted by voters as amnesty). In other cases, candidates simply didn’t take an official stand. Overall, however, FAIR’s midterm election analysis shows that support for immigration controls was a common denominator among winning candidates.
