Pace Energy & Climate Center 2016 Annual Report
No full textThe Center staff and many allies are deeply involved in the business of electric utility transformation. We live and work in a remarkable time. Decades of steady, thoughtful leadership on clean energy issues is now bearing fruit. Clean energy is not just the right thing to do, it is increasingly recognized as the right choice economically, technically, and for all members of society. Our work, especially in 2016, has been about making sure that we seize the moment and secure the benefits of clean energy use for all communities in New York, the Northeast U.S., across the country, and throughout the world.
Never has it been more important that we succeed in our work. The challenges of climate change, the changing path of policy, and the moral imperative of building a clean energy foundation for future generations drive us every day. While we don’t work actively in Washington, D.C., changes there threaten our work. The Center focuses on waging a strong offense at the state and community level, and on effectively communicating the benefits of clean energy development and policy.
In 2016, we answered the call for clear-eyed policy leadership in the many New York Public Service Commission’s (“NYPSC”) Reforming the Energy Vision (“REV”) initiative proceedings under way. Our work multiplied as the Commission transitioned from vision to implementation and execution, and so did our impact. See the Appendix for the active NY PSC proceedings in which the Center is engaged! The Center continued its regional leadership as a champion of super-efficient combined heat and power, strong solar energy market policy, and interstate cooperation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We expand the reach of our ideas and support through formal regulatory interventions, thought leadership, and good old-fashioned research and writing. The Pace Energy and Climate Center continues to operate as a small, agile, interdisciplinary team of talented and committed individuals, and continues to benefit from the support of the best law student interns anywhere. Our network of collaborators at other organizations has grown over the year, as has our reputation in the media

The other bands on the bill were the Washington, D.C. punk bands Gray Matter and Grand Mal. The photocopy was made by D.C. artist, author, and musician Sharon Cheslow as part of the research for "Banned in D.C.," a book she co-authored with Cynthia Connolly and Leslie Clague
Be All That You Can Be, But Nothing More: National Mining Association v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Corps\u27 Critical Loss of Wetlands Control
No full textIn 1993, the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers adopted a new regulation, known as the Tulloch Rule, based on a 1992 settlement between certain environmental groups and a developer who had engaged in dredging activities that fell outside of the Clean Water Act\u27s section 404 protection. The Tulloch Rule in essence closed a loophole in the Clean Water Act that developers had been taking advantage of for years. However, in 1998, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed a district court\u27s holding that the Tulloch Rule exceeded the Corp\u27s statutory authority, and invalidated the Rule. This Case Note explores the D.C. Circuit\u27s ruling, and its statutory and case law antecedents. The author concludes that legislative action is needed to protect what the Tulloch Rule had hoped to protect
Il “Commento all’Epistola agli Efesini” di Gerolamo nella controversia origeniana
No full textSi vuole esaminare la posizione di Gerolamo e Rufino nel contesto della prima controversia origeniana, partendo dal commento di Gerolamo all'epistola di Paolo agli Efesini, scritto nel 386 d.C. sulla base prevalente del commento di Origene. Si mostra come Gerolamo in questo commento non abbia voluto prendere le distanze dalle tesi dottrinalmente più pericolose di Origene, ma anche come Rufino nella sua "Apologia" abbia voluto sottolineare forzatamente l'adesione dell'avversario a queste tesi

Rare-earth-doped planar waveguide lasers
No full textResearch into active, rare-earth-doped planar waveguides is rapidly gathering pace. As with rare-earth-doped optical fibres, the small dimension of the waveguide region allows high gain to be achieved with very modest pump powers. Compared with fibres, the planar geometry potentially offers a number of additional benefits, such as a much higher degree of integration with access to properties available in crystals but not in glass, such as the possibilities of modulation and frequency conversion where the host medium is a nonlinear crystal. A wide variety of host media, in crystals and glasses is currently under investigation, along with a wide variety of techniques for waveguide fabrication and processing. A broad survey of this activity will be given, covering recent results and indicating some future directions

State of Alert (S.O.A.), Untouchables, Minor Threat, Type-O concert flier, Washington, D.C., December 17-18, 1980
No full textFlier advertising State of Alert (S.O.A) concert at d.c. space, with Untouchables, Minor Threat, Type-O, Nurses, Fluffy Pig, and Wiggly Mittens, Washington, D.C., December 17-18, 1980. These concerts were also known as the Unheard Music festival. Within a year, S.O.A. vocalist Henry Garfield joined the influential California hardcore punk Black Flag and changed his last name to Rollins. He went on to a successful career as a musician, author, actor, television host and more. Guitarist Michael Hampton went on to play in the notable D.C. bands The Faith, Embrace, The Snakes, and Manifesto. These concerts were some of the first performances by Minor Threat. Fronted by vocalist Ian MacKaye (who went on to play in the bands Fugazi, Embrace, and The Evens), Minor Threat went on to become the definitive D.C. hardcore punk band
