We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), determine endangered status under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended, for the spectaclecase (Cumberlandia monodonta) and sheepnose (Plethobasus cyphyus), two freshwater mussels. This final rule implements the Federal protections provided by the Act for these species throughout their ranges, including sheepnose in Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, and spectaclecase in Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. We determined that critical habitat for the spectaclecase and sheepnose is prudent, but not determinable...

After watching 40 years of politics, I can say candidly that most public officials are a mile wide and an inch deep on these issues, it's just the nature of the beast," said [Tommy Adkisson], adding that the suggestion to make positions on the CPS Board determinable by election could help "bring citizenry into the loop on major energy decisions.
"You hear and read so much about the 'nuclear renaissance' that you might think plants are being constructed at a very great rate all around the world except maybe in the U.S., but the reality is quite different," said [Peter Bradford]. "There are 34 plants currently under construction, calculated by the International Atomic Energy Agency, but some of those have been under construction for a couple of decades. With all of the talk of a nuclear...

The standard for patentability, codified as the "obviousness" standard, holds that an invention is not patentable if it would have been obvious at the time the invention was made to a person having ordinary skill in the art. People, however, have different opinions on what is "obvious," on what is "innovative," and subjectivity has proven impossible to remove from the process. This article redefines the patentability standard, offering determinable criteria for courts to determine whether the availability of a patent for an invention creates more consumer benefit than the patent exacts in monopoly costs. Because patents are ultimately offered for the purpose of enhancing overall social welfare, the obviousness standard should be reconsidered to incorporate these economic calculations. E...

Specifically, it is argued that as a consequence of this radically changed conception of the relation between the natural and the artificial, the figure of the human, the crux as it were of the modern opposition between physis and techne, is dispensed with, possibly even overcome, in effect leading us towards a "posthuman" form of existence.1 This essay will examine the latter claim in light of the way nature, and the human body in particular, has been understood conceptually and historically in technological terms, particularly with reference to technological artefacts. Put briefly, in Ancient Greek thought (thus for example in Aristotle's Physics), technology, or more precisely speaking techne, was restricted to the realm of means oriented towards ends, with ends however understood t...

In December 2006, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) released an exposure draft of a proposed new statement on Accounting and Financial Reporting for Intangible Assets. The ED proposes to define intangible assets as items that possess all three of the following characteristics: 1. They lack physical substance; 2. They are nonfinancial in character (i.e., they are not expected to ultimately be settled in fixed or determinable amounts of cash, like receivables and investments; nor do they represent a cash payment for goods and services not yet received, like prepayments); 3. They have a useful life extending beyond a single reporting period. The ED proposes that intangible assets be subject to all of the display and disclosure requirements applicable to other capital asset...
