Legal Advocacy, Performance, and Affection

Professor Geoffrey Hazard\u27s lecture addresses appellate advocacy. That advocate\u27s brief is best, he says, that, short of surrender, concedes most to the opposing party. We assume that Professor Hazard would scarcely have ventured out of New Haven to participate in the distinguished Sibley Lectureship merely to commend to the consideration of the audience an interesting but minor rhetorical ploy. Therefore we read his comments as surely implying more. We interpret his lecture as an invitation to rethink the nature of the courtroom event. The textual openings to our examination of fundamentals are found in various of Professor Hazard\u27s comments--for instance, his diagnosis of a larger fear of weakness in the context as a whole, and his recognition of advocates\u27 arguments as derivative from the court\u27s functioni. Consideration of these and other comments has led us through a hermeneutical adventure to imagine a restatement of Professor Hazard\u27s conclusion: That argument is best that is most performative of affection

Abstract: This Environmental Assessment (EA) analyzes the effects of establishing recordkeeping, reporting, catch sorting, and weighing requirements for persons who receive, buy, or accept Pacific whiting from vessels participating in the primary season for the shorebased sector. The Pacific whiting shoreside fishery has been managed under Exempted Fisheries Permit (EFPs) since 1992. However, EFPs are intended to be a temporary and an exploratory response to issues that potentially could be addressed by permanent regulations. The alternative action analyzed in this EA would be the first step towards replacing the EFP with permanent regulations. Although the Pacific whiting shoreside vessels will continue to operate under EFPs in 2007, the alternative action considered in this EA would supplement EFP activities with requirements that mainly affect the processors or other first receivers of EFP catch. The requirements analyzed under the alternative action mirror or enhance existing state regulations and associated paper-based fish ticket systems or provisions associated with current EFP management. The alternative action is expected to provide more timely reporting and improved estimates of the catch of Pacific whiting, ESA listed salmon species, and overfished groundfish species

A Combined Transcriptomics and Lipidomics Analysis of Subcutaneous, Epididymal and Mesenteric Adipose Tissue Reveals Marked Functional Differences

Depot-dependent differences in adipose tissue physiology may reflect specialized functions and local interactions between adipocytes and surrounding tissues. We combined time-resolved microarray analyses of mesenteric- (MWAT), subcutaneous- (SWAT) and epididymal adipose tissue (EWAT) during high-fat feeding of male transgenic ApoE3Leiden mice with histology, targeted lipidomics and biochemical analyses of metabolic pathways to identify differentially regulated processes and site-specific functions. EWAT was found to exhibit physiological zonation. De novo lipogenesis in fat proximal to epididymis was stably low, whereas de novo lipogenesis distal to epididymis and at other locations was down-regulated in response to high-fat diet. The contents of linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid in EWAT were increased compared to other depots. Expression of the androgen receptor (Ar) was higher in EWAT than in MWAT and SWAT. We suggest that Ar may mediate depot-dependent differences in de novo lipogenesis rate and propose that accumulation of linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid in EWAT is favored by testosterone-mediated inhibition of de novo lipogenesis and may promote further elongation and desaturation of these polyunsaturated fatty acids during spermatogenesis

Abstract: This preliminary Environmental Assessment (EA) provides an initial analysis of the effects of implementing a monitoring program to provide a full retention opportunity in the shore-based Pacific whiting fishery off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California. A full retention opportunity will enable the shore-based whiting fleet to land unsorted catch at processing plants while the monitoring program will improving the ability of fishery management agencies to track the incidental catch of prohibited species (i.e., Pacific salmon) and overfished groundfish species (i.e., widow rockfish, darkblotched rockfish, Pacific ocean perch, canary rockfish, bocaccio, lingcod), as well as tracking the forfeiture and/or donation of groundfish caught in excess of Pacific Coast groundfish trip limits by the shore-based whiting fleet. The effects of different types of monitoring programs on the socioeconomic, biological, and physical environment of the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery were given a preliminary analysis and areas needing further analysis were identified. The purpose of this document is to present and discuss the different types of monitoring programs that could be implemented to provide a full retention opportunity in the shore-based whiting fishery and the effects of those monitoring programs. At its September 8- 12, 2003, meeting in Seattle, Washington, the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Pacific Council) will review this EA and adopt a range of alternatives for public review. The Pacific Council is scheduled to select a preferred alternative (i.e., a preferred monitoring program) at their Novembe

Midrapidity antiproton-to-proton ratio in pp collisons root s=0.9 and 7 TeV measured by the ALICE experiment

The ratio of the yields of antiprotons to protons in pp collisions has been measured by the ALICE experiment at root s = 0.9 and 7 TeV during the initial running periods of the Large Hadron Collider. The measurement covers the transverse momentum interval 0.45 < p(t) < 1.05 GeV/c and rapidity vertical bar y vertical bar < 0.5. The ratio is measured to be R-vertical bar y vertical bar<0.5 = 0.957 +/- 0.006(stat) +/- 0.0014(syst) at 0.9 Tev and R-vertical bar y vertical bar<0.5 = 0.991 +/- 0.005 +/- 0.014(syst) at 7 TeV and it is independent of both rapidity and transverse momentum. The results are consistent with the conventional model of baryon-number transport and set stringent limits on any additional contributions to baryon-number transfer over very large rapidity intervals in pp collisions
