January/Frhruilry 1977 We are making progress with the Guinness people. In the 1977 edition, they list the largest Frisbee section ever included: Johnson and Lempert's Outdoor Distance marks Kirkland and Lou 's Throw, Run & Catch marks The two-person marathon record They also had their researchers uncover the longest claimed Distance mark, being Victor Malafronte's unofficial claim of 420 feet stated in an interview of a few years ago. We expect to have them list the Indoor Distance records next year also along with M.T.A. and the 24-hour Group Distance. Just as the book came out, Frank Bates and Mike Simpson of Corpus Christi, Texas put it out of date as they extended the two-person marathon mark to 77 hours as part of the Texas State Championships. They almost entered Freestyle Pairs right after the finish. Correction : Th e world record for canine Distance was erroneo.usly printed in the June/ July issue as 242 feet.

    DIRECTORY OF STATE AMUSEMENT RIDE SAFETY OFFICIALS August 2008 CONTACT VALERY V. CEASAR Senior Compliance Officer OFFICE OF COMPLIANCE AND FIELD OPERATIONS DIVISION OF RECALLS & COMPLIANCE U.S. CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION 4330 East West Highway, Room 610 Bethesda, MD 20814 ************************ (301) 504-7605 FAX (301) 504-0359 E-Mail: [email protected] This document was prepared by CPSC Staff and has not been reviewed or approved by, and may not necessarily represent the views of the Commission. PREFACE The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission) is an independent federal regulatory agency established by Congress in the Consumer Product Safety Act to protect the public against unreasonable risks of injury and death from consumer products. The Recalls & Compliance Division within the Office of Compliance is responsible for, among other things, identifying defects in consumer products which present substantial product hazards and developing recalls designed to remove such products from both consumers and the chain of distribution. The Commission has jurisdiction ONLY over mobile amusement rides, i.e. those rides transported from location to location. According to the best available information, currently, eight states do not have state administered inspection programs for mobile rides; and eight states and the District of Columbia do not have state administered inspection programs for fixed-site rides. While authority under each state's legislation differs, the main purpose is the prevention of ride incidents through the early identification of unsafe and defective rides. This Directory identifies the individual state offices dedicated to ride safety to encourage communication among the states and the federal government.

  • Comparative Study of the Impacts of U.S. Electric Deregulation on Renewable Energy Investments and Retail Electricity Prices in Florida, Massachusetts, and Texas
    Comparative Study of the Impacts of U.S. Electric Deregulation on Renewable Energy Investments and Retail Electricity Prices in Florida, Massachusetts, and Texas by Peter Yungkil Jang, MBA A Dissertation In Systems and Engineering Management Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved Mario G. Beruvides, Ph.D., P.E. Chair of Committee Patrick Patterson, Ph.D., P.E., C.P.E. Milton Smith, Ph.D., P.E. Lloyd Heinze, Ph.D., P.E. Mark Sheridan, Ph.D. Dean of the Graduate School August 2020 Copyright 2020, Peter Yungkil Jang Texas Tech University, Peter Yungkil Jang, August 2020 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It has been a long and fruitful voyage to be an engineering researcher. I was very fortunate to have many Captain Shackletons who have helped me complete this challenging expedition. First of all, I would express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Mario Beruvides, my Advisor, who showed me the guidance in the journey of Systems & Engineering Management (SYEM). He has been so resourceful with his knowledge database in engineering, economics, technology, history, and poetry. He innovatively opened a wide range of doors for me to explore from a biological system to behavioral economics and chaos theory. My dissertation would not be possible without the insightful and constructive feedback from the faculty members on my Dissertation Committee, Dr. Milton Smith, Dr. Patrick Patterson, and Dr. Lloyd Heinze, and Graduate School Representative Dr. Kwanghee Jung. They are the driving engines in various disciplines behind the research power at Texas Tech University.
