The Chief Justice said: And now we note with sadness that this is the last session in which our friend and colleague, Justice David Souter, will be on the Bench with us. He has served on this Court faith­ fully and with great distinction since October 1990. We wish him the best in his well-deserved retirement. On this occasion, we have sent Justice Souter a letter that I will now read. It’s dated today. Supreme Court of the United States, Chambers of The Chief Justice, Washington, D. C., June 29, 2009. Dear David: We have all felt a profound sense of loss since the an­ nouncement of your decision to retire. For nearly twenty years, the Court has had the benefit of your wisdom, civility, and dedication to the cause of justice. Your keen intellect and broad knowledge have enlarged our deliberations and enriched the Court’s jurisprudence. We deeply value the times we have shared in judicial serv­ ice. We understand your desire to trade white marble for ix 557US2 Unit: UVII [07-07-14 13:06:18] PGT: FRT x RETIREMENT OF JUSTICE SOUTER White Mountains, and return to your land “of easy wind and downy flake.” Though you will not be among us in our daily labors, we are grateful that the privilege of your sturdy friendship will endure long beyond your departure from the bench and tables we have shared.

Dear Colleagues, Your generous letter has touched me more than I can say, and I will only try to leave you with some sense of what our common service has meant to me. You quoted the Poet, and I will, too, in words that set out the ideal of the life engaged, “ . where love and need are one....” That phrase accounts for the finest moments of my life on this Court, as we have agreed or contended with each other over those things that matter to decent people in a civil soci­ ety. For nineteen Terms, I have lived that life with you, all of us sharing our own best years with one another, working side by side as fellow servants and as friends. I will not sit with you at our bench again after the Court rises for the Summer this time, but neither will I retire from our friendship, which has held us together despite the pull of 557US2 Unit: UVII [07-07-14 13:06:18] PGT: FRT RETIREMENT OF JUSTICE SOUTER xi the most passionate dissent.

  • Lucan's Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulf
    Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Catherine Connors, Chair Alain Gowing Stephen Hinds Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2014 Laura Zientek University of Washington Abstract Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Catherine Connors Department of Classics This dissertation is an analysis of the role of landscape and the natural world in Lucan’s Bellum Civile. I investigate digressions and excurses on mountains, rivers, and certain myths associated aetiologically with the land, and demonstrate how Stoic physics and cosmology – in particular the concepts of cosmic (dis)order, collapse, and conflagration – play a role in the way Lucan writes about the landscape in the context of a civil war poem. Building on previous analyses of the Bellum Civile that provide background on its literary context (Ahl, 1976), on Lucan’s poetic technique (Masters, 1992), and on landscape in Roman literature (Spencer, 2010), I approach Lucan’s depiction of the natural world by focusing on the mutual effect of humanity and landscape on each other. Thus, hardships posed by the land against characters like Caesar and Cato, gloomy and threatening atmospheres, and dangerous or unusual weather phenomena all have places in my study. I also explore how Lucan’s landscapes engage with the tropes of the locus amoenus or horridus (Schiesaro, 2006) and elements of the sublime (Day, 2013).

    The original source for data in this spreadsheet is a 2002 study for MassDEP by Draper/Lennon, Inc. titled Identification, Characterization, and Mapping of Food Waste and Food Waste Generators in Massachusetts . The final report from this study is available online at: http://www.mass.gov/dep/about/priorities/foodwast.doc. The data was updated in summer 2011 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 office. This study identified large generators of food waste in Massachusetts, such as food processors, wholesalers, grocery stores, institutions, and large restaurants. It calculated estimated food waste generation, shown in tons per year (TPY) in column G, and mapped generator locations to facilitate planning of programs and facilities for capturing source separated organic materials for composting or other diversion. Note that waste generation estimates are not available for food and beverage manufacturers/processors and distributors due to the variability in these sectors. In some other cases, generation estimates are not available for other facilities when data needed to estimate generation is missing for that location. Facility Category Codes in column F marked TYPE show generator groupings in the report as follows: Type Category Description Food and Beverage F Manufacturers/Processors W Wholesale Distributors IH Institutions -Healthcare Facilities IS Institutions -Independent Schools IC Institutions -Colleges/Universities IP Institutions -Correctional Facilities C Resorts and Conference Facilities G Supermarkets and Grocery Stores R Restaurants Most of the columns in the spreadsheet are self‐explanatory. Columns H, I J, and K provide GIS mapping coordinates to assist in locating food waste generators. The Massachusetts State Plane coordinates found in the X_Coord and Y_Coord fields (Columns J and K) were derived by address‐ matching via Navteq Postal Villages.

  • The Satellite Fetish Preliminary Notes on Signals Intelligence
    THE SATELLITE FETISH PRELIMINARY NOTES ON SIGNALS INTELLIGENCE Pablo Colapinto Media Arts and Technology Program at the University of California Santa Barbara Submitted to Professor Marko Peljhan “The Art and Science of Aerospace Culture” Image from www.globalsecurity.org Speculated Design of the Synthetic Aperture Radar sensing Lacrosse 5 (AKA VEGA or ONYX). The Lacrosse constellation consists of four Low-Earth Orbit satellites at various inclinations and are used for high frequency radar imaging through clouds and at night. It is suspected that the resolution of the imagery is variable, with maximum estimates at 1-meter pixel resolution. This pdf briefly describes a few critical components of United States satellite intelligence in preparation for a long term video art project exploring the behavior of these spacecraft constellations, and our fascination with them. Both this preliminary study and the resultant animated work will rely heavily on the Satellite Toolkit [STK] Software developed by Analytical Graphics in Exton PA to visualize the orbital mechanics of classified payloads. It should be noted that the goal is not to “de-classify” but to “re-classify” data, to introduce a coherent personal thread into the cold and mysterious “Blackworld” of SIGINT. Many thanks to the numerous “amateur” satellite spotters who help to compose the classified.tle file essential for visualizing the orbits, to Marko Peljhan for his infectious enthusiasm and expertise on everything in orbit, and to Trevor Paglen for his illuminating talk on the subject of satellite spotting. IMAGINARY INFORMATION The visualization of “classified” data is so much fun, that even more fascinating than the data itself is our very fascination with it.
