Legal Considerations in e-Rulemaking
Project Stages:
1. Gather ideas - Completed2. Select ideas - Completed
3. Council approval - Completed
4. Picking a researcher - Completed
5. Committee consideration - Completed
6. Back to the council - Completed
7. Consideration by the full conference - Completed
8. Implementation - Current
This study focused on the many legal issues that arise in e-Rulemaking, including how agencies may use software to determine that submitted comments are identical or nearly identical, and whether agencies can (and should) destroy paper copies of comments scanned to electronic form. Such innovations should reduce costs and improve efficiency.

"I've been skiing since childhood. The Stratton Women's Camp helped me understand the mechanics of a comfortable turn and changed the way I perform on skis. I'm more confident and relaxed. It was 3 blissful days of skiing with nice women, good food, and camaraderie," Emily Sonnenblick, NY, NY
"I decided at age 40 I was going to learn to ski. The camp was an amazing experience for me. Our instructor did an incredible job of making the most of our sessions with quick tips and real life examples we could relate to. We also managed to work in many laughs on the lift rides," Deb Shugard, Morristown, NJ

Meet Paul Wagner Friday Night At Under Bear!
Tonight the bears attending Lazy Bear Weekend in Guerneville are in for a special treat when Hot House Exclusive Paul Wagner strips down and shows off his goods at tonight's Under Bear party at the Russian River Resort (aka The RRR). Fresh off the set of his new Hot House Backroom scene with Blu Kennedy and the just released Movers N Shakers and into a new pair of drawers, the cuddly Mr. Wagner looks forward to meeting the 6,000 men who are expected over the weekend. "I'm looking forward to getting out of LA and getting back to nature. Nothing's hotter than fucking a hot man in the woods under a clear starry sky." Paul said as he left the office on his way to that neck of the woods.
Paul and Hot House Affiliate Manager Alan Breslaw will raffle off a butt-load of Hot House swag. Grab your underwear and get to Under Bear tonight at 8 PM to 11:30 PM! Check your clothes at the new and improved clothes check provided by 440 Castro. $10 at the door or free for Bear Tag bearers.
Click here for a complete schedule of Lazy Bear Weekend events.
The best piece of advice before attending this weekend event would be to buy yourself the Lazy Bear Weekend tags. The tags (think dog tags) get you into all the weekend pool parties Thursday through Sunday for free and discounts on all kinds of great stuff through the event and discounts at local merchants. Bear Tag pre-sale is over but you can purchase Lazy Bear tags at the headquarters located at Sonoma Nesting Co. 16151 Main Street, Guerneville and at BODY 450 Castro Street in San Francisco for $125.
Click map for a larger version
For the last five years Hot House Entertainment has been a proud sponsor of Lazy Bear Weekend. Thousands of men from around the world gather every summer in the forest town of Guerneville in Northern California for a week of dancing, drinking beer and just being with men. The guys are like family, and enjoy each others company. First and foremost, Lazy Bear Weekend puts the FUN back into fundraising and raises desperately needed money for a variety of worthy causes. The Lazy Bear Fund is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization that relies on sponsors, private donations, the sale of the number one fundraising tool — the Lazy Bear Tags — and LB merchandise. The Lazy Bear Fund is proud to have one of the lowest operating costs of any non-profit in the country, due in large part to their incredible volunteer force!

The house was lovely and the surroundings amazing! Room 4 was large with a lovely soft bed and great views. Everything was very clean and tidy.

"Great bed and breakfast for couples"
What an excellent find. The foxcroft was recommend on the reviews so we booked up and were not disappointed in the least. We were looking for an overnight stay near too the south lakes animal park and the foxcroft is only about 45mins away. After arriving up the fantastic driveway we were met by Malcolm the owner who was cutting the grass,he introduced […] himself and welcomed us and showed us to our room. The room double ensuite was immaculate clean and fresh, a nice touch was the fresh milk for coffee instead of the usual small cartons. We went out for a meal and were recommended several places by Malcolm, but being a Monday night a lot of them were closed so we drove a little further to broughton in Furness and ate in the Black cock pub. (Would recommend the steak and ale pie.) After a great nights sleep (a little warm as there was only a duvet and an unusually warm August night) the breakfast was superb everything was so tasty, you must try the locally produced sausages. Malcolm and Shirley were both so friendly and helpful, we will return but will make it for more than one night Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Expedia yang asli

Malcolm was very helpful in recommending places to visit. The setting was gorgeous and it was the perfect location for the Cumbrian Heavy Horses riding school and Muncaster Castle.

Very nice welcome. In a lovely setting. Would definately stay againUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Beautiful location"
The B&B owners were super-nice Brits. The property was very pretty and the large home has huge potential for becoming an upscale inn. The entryway was cluttered with family stuff and should be stowed away. The first room of the mansion is used as their very pedestrian office and a disappointing welcome to their home. (One's first impression should be […] an elegant lobby.)Our room was newly constructed in the attic and had an excellent bathroom. Our only complaint was the bed--it needed a box spring under the hard and lumpy mattress. A small fan would have been a nice amenity since there is no AC in all of N. England. Again, the owners have excellent dispositions and are eager to please. I don't think this is a 4-star hotel, but a good 3. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli

The foxcroft is an excellent b+b just outside Millom. it took a while to find after driving round Haverigg a few times so make sure you have the road name and b+b phone number with you. on arrival we were met at the car and shown to our room.(all 4 bedrooms are up two flights of stairs) we had chosen the twin bedroom which was loverly. small shower […] room. tea,coffee and biscuits.milk is kept in a small fridge on landing you help yourself (better than those small pots) you fill in a form to say what you would like for breakfast and hand it in back downstairs. we ate out that evening after being recommended a few resteraunts we choose an italian in millom (excellent ,book early as it gets busy) following morning had a walk in the grounds of the foxcroft, long driveway nicely planted trees and bushes. lots of lawned areas, went for breakfast ,fruit juices, cereals fresh fruit platter, full breakfast, tea-coffee toast. the b+ b as only been open since last year and as already achieved 4 stars,the host are really nice and friendly. we visited whitehaven.st bees. and barrow whilst we were in the area.

It's been another amazing year for the 10:10 community, and we wanted to do something a bit special to celebrate everything we've achieved together.
So we've put together a bumper 2011 roundup page, featuring all the highlights of the last 12 months.
Check it out here (pdf)
Earlier this week, the government announced plans for massive cuts to the Feed-in tariff, a popular incentive scheme that pays solar panel owners for each unit of power that they generate.
This isn't a completely done deal – the government is consulting on the plans until late December, but the way it's been announced has got people bracing for the worst.
The Feed-in tariff (often shortened to Fit) certainly isn't perfect, but it's been incredibly successful at getting panels on roofs. This doesn't just help people reduce their utility bills and carbon emissions – there's plenty of anecdotal evidence that seeing the panels in action (and reaping the rewards) can change the way people think about energy, and makes them more likely to make climate-friendly choices in other areas of their lives.
Pretty much everyone agrees that the rates need to come down as installation costs fall – that's how subsidies are supposed to work. Even the solar industry is pushing for a gradual reduction in line with falling installation costs.
But cutting so far and so fast will put thousands of solar workers out of a job and pull the rug out from under small community groups that have already poured time and effort into their projects, but don't stand a chance of meeting the new deadline.
We just heard from Brighton Energy Cooperative, which was due to start selling shares on Wednesday but has been forced to put the entire project on hold until further notice. A few hours later, Reading Council – our partners on the Solar Schools project – announced that they'd be drastically scaling back their own school solar programme. These are the first examples to emerge – they won't be the last.
Cutting so far and so fast will put thousands of solar workers out of a job and pull the rug out from under small community groups that don't stand a chance of meeting the new deadline.
If the proposals do end up being adopted, it's also likely to be the end of 'free' solar schemes, where companies offer solar rigs to households at low or no cost in exchange for the Fit payments. Killing off these schemes will effectively put the benefits of solar power out of reach for poorer families and social housing programmes, who could never afford to buy the panels outright at current prices.
This isn't just unfair; it defeats the whole purpose of the scheme.
The government argues that without drastic cuts, the scheme would run out of money completely in the next few months, forcing them to close it to new applicants until around 2015. They claim, therefore, that slashing rates was the least-bad option under the circumstances.
But this ignores the fact that these circumstances are entirely of their own making. Here's why...
Darkness is descending and the cold is creeping in, but fear not – help is at hand. Falling temperatures don't have to mean rising bills this winter.
In April 2010, the government introduced a scheme called the Feed-in tariff (sometimes shortened to Fit), which encourages people to install solar panels by offering panel owners a fixed payment for each unit of electricity they generate.
The scheme has been extremely successful, putting thousands of panels on Britain's roofs and creating a thriving home-grown solar industry that now employs 25,000 people.
But after several months of rumours, leaks, false starts and general confusion, the government yesterday announced plans to slash these payments by up to 50%, with the cuts taking effect much sooner than most people expected.
Householders and small businesses currently receive 43p for each kilowatt hour their panels generate. Under the new proposals, this will be reduced to 21p for any solar rig installed after 12 December. Full details of the new tariffs can be found on the department for energy and climate change website.
The government is now 'consulting' on the new payment levels. Technically this means that the final numbers could differ from what was announced today, but the way the government has played the announcement so far suggests that it's quite unlikely to change its mind.

This week we welcome back Mr.Brock Russell. It's been a while since we've seen this sexy, 38 yr old from Provincetown, MA. Fortunately he's in for a treat since we've paired him up with some cajun spice that's oh so nice, New Orlean's own, Ari Gyspy. Ari is 32 and looking better than ever. We asked these boys what was the highlight of 2011 for them. Having a hot three way with an English couple that was visiting P-Town was definitely Brock's favorite. For Ari, 2011 was the first year he ever tried anal and admits it's been crazy! LOL Both have great bodies so we wondered what their weakness is when it comes to cheating on their diets. Brock loves sweets of all kinds while Ari loves food in general. Ari is relatively new to the man to man table and admits everyone should try it at least a couple times to see whether they like it or not. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it. Brock couldn't agree more and admits he tried fooling around with a girl at one point but it didn't go as well as expected. Well, fortunately these two are going to be just fine once we leave them to their own devices... Shall we?

The course MAE 277, Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Practice, was designed to expose students to real-life challenges and technical aspects faced by mechanical engineers in industry and research labs. The product dissection project allows students to work on project and group management skills, while gaining a better understanding of the technical workings of common consumer products. For this project, Group 23 was assigned the Barbie® Dune Buggy Power Wheels. As the project progresses, from dissection and system analysis to reassembly, students will begin to grow an appreciation for every step in the designing and creation of any consumer product.
Group Members
- Jaclyn Bronner
- Daniel Exford
- Taylor Ferguson
- Allison Lammerts
- Samuel Pawlyk
Gate 1
The main purpose of Gate One is initial project planning. The group had to plan how to approach the product disassembly and reverse engineering of the Power Wheels. This also included breaking down the product dissection into specific tasks, assigning group members various roles, and planning out time management and a timeline of the other gates that will follow. In short, Gate 1 includes the following sections:
- Work Proposal
- Management Proposal
- Initial Assessment

LONG BEACH - While the Los Angeles Unified School District is implementing new state education standards in the coming year, many other area school districts are at various stages of launching the initiative by 2014.
In the Long Beach Unified School District, administrators have formed a special task force to help teachers and school principals prepare for Common Core State Standards.
Deputy Superintendent Christine Dominguez said the state's third largest school district is working to phase in Common Core over a three-year period. The district started the process in the 2011-2012 school year with extensive training and preparation for teachers in areas including math, language arts and special education.
Dominguez said the new standards call for a shift in the way teachers teach. As part of the Common Core, teachers will delve deeper into subjects and encourage critical thinking. Students will write narrative essays and learn how to construct arguments. Reading lessons, writing assignments and math problems will be more demanding across grade levels.
"They'll be major changes in the way instruction is delivered," she said.
"The focus is to prepare students for college and teach them how to apply their skills in a real-world setting."
For the 2012-2013 school year, the district will begin incorporating components of the Common Core. As part of the process, the coming school year will see a greater focus on
Teachers will start to reduce the number of instructions based on the California standards in favor of more in-depth instructions on newer standards.
Tests will have more essay-style questions and fewer multiple choice questions.
The district expects to have the new standards implemented by the end of the 2013-2014 school year, Dominguez said.
The plan differs from Los Angeles Unified, which has chosen to phase in Common Core by grade, starting with kindergarten, first, sixth and ninth grades.
The LBUSD, along with Los Angeles Unified and 13 other urban school districts in the country, is participating in a Common Core pilot program led by the Aspen Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based educational and policy studies organization. Under the pilot program, urban school districts work together to support and implement Common Core.
LBUSD Curriculum Director Pamela Seki said the program has been key in helping the district implement the new standards.
"It's been a very rich development opportunity for us because some of the districts on the East Coast are a year ahead and we've been able to learn from their experiences," she said.
The LBUSD is now working with surrounding school districts in Paramount, Bellflower, Santa Ana and Garden Grove to serve as a model program, she added.
While LBUSD educators say they're looking forward to the changes, the transition will no doubt face challenges.
Dominguez said one of the biggest challenges is technology. As part of the standards, students will be required to use computers and tablets for test-taking and other activities. Dominguez said cash-strapped school districts, like the LBUSD, will have difficulty finding funding for the new technology.
"It will be a roadblock for students in a lot of states," she said.
Nonetheless, Dominguez said she believes the changes will benefit all students in the district.
"I find where we're going to be very exciting," she said. "I think our kids are ready for the transition. It's going to be a challenge, but it's exactly what our kids need to prepare for college and go out in the workplace."
Dominguez said the school district next year will use a communication outreach campaign to help parents understand the new system.
In the meantime, educators have a few tips for parents to help their children prepare.
Seki said parents should encourage their children to read a more balanced selection books, including nonfiction books on science, history and other informational topics. Parents are encouraged to help their young children learn basic math skills, since children will begin learning math at a younger age.
"Encourage the child to stick with something that's difficult and praise the child when they've been persistent and solved the problem," she said.
"Common Core is focused on critical thinking, and that's something we need to model and support at home as well."
