The U.S. Olympic Committee has added a new sport. Call it The Skin Game. Out of the blue, the Springs-based organization has decided to give itself an "F" for diversity. Scott Blackmun, the organization's CEO, worries openly that too many staffers look like him. They are white men, which in today's climate is practically a hate crime. An article by Gazette sportswriter Brian Gomez explains that 91 percent of USOC managers are white and 64 percent are men. To change this, the committee will likely make considerations of ethnicity, religion and sexual orientation high priorities when hiring. A diversity working group has studied the dilemma of too many white people. Additionally, the USOC plans to hire a diversity director.

In the 2009-2010 term, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide if it matters whether a criminal defense lawyer correctly counsels a client about the fact that the client faces deportation as a result of a guilty plea. Under prevailing constitutional norms in almost every jurisdiction, a lawyer does not have a duty to tell her client about many serious but "collateral" consequences of a guilty plea. Yet, in every jurisdiction that has considered the issue, that very same lawyer will run afoul of her duties if she affirmatively misrepresents a collateral consequence—every jurisdiction, that is, except Kentucky. The Supreme Court of Kentucky recently held that when there is no duty to warn about a consequence because it is collateral, misadvice about that same consequence is not a consti...

On May 3, 2011, under authority of Clean Air Act (CAA) sections 111 and 112, the EPA proposed both national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) from coal- and oil-fired electric utility steam generating units (EGUs) and standards of performance for fossil-fuel-fired electric utility, industrial-commercial- institutional, and small industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units (76 FR 24976). After consideration of public comments, the EPA is finalizing these rules in this action. Pursuant to CAA section 111, the EPA is revising standards of performance in response to a voluntary remand of a final rule. Specifically, we are amending new source performance standards (NSPS) after analysis of the public comments we received. We are also finalizing several mi...

As the legacy of affirmative plans is slowly but surely being replaced by market-driven merit-based policies in the country, the dismal showing of some government-linked companies is proof that we are, perhaps, not ready to go the free market way at full steam. ON July 8, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Abdul Razak dedicated Bandar Pusat Jengka in Pahang to the memory of his late father, Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, the country's second Prime Minister and the man best remembered as the `Father of Development'.
