 that many commenters had sought was not adopted. Instead we are left with a very blurry line which will spawn confusion and litigation down the road, leading to – you guessed it again – a bright line test that tells everybody what they can and can’t do.
Interestingly, the FCC made it very clear that ordinary non-equity debt financing is not a factor to be considered. It also rejected proposals to limit the amount of debt a bidder could incur relative to equity.
Changes in small business definition and caps on benefit. As expected, the FCC did increase the revenue thresholds for small business qualification. As a result, “very, very small businesses” are now those having under $4 million in three year average revenue, those under $20 million are “very small”, and those under $55 million are “small”. As before, these revenue categories qualify the bidder for 35%, 25% and 15% discounts, respectively. The application of the three categories to individual auctions will be specified for each one. For example, the FCC declared that the “very, very small” category will not apply to the Incentive Auction.
The Commission addressed concerns voiced by many commentators regarding the overall size of the benefit which can be enjoyed by small businesses. The concern was that so-called small businesses were reaping hundreds of millions of dollars in discounts, which seemed inconsistent with their supposed status as “small” businesses. The solution here was to impose a cap of not less than $25 million on the small business benefit and $10 million on the rural service provider benefit for the auction as a whole. The actual amount will vary from auction to auction depending on the value of the licenses being auctioned. So for the Incentive Auction, the small business cap has been set at $150 million for small businesses in markets above 118 in size and $10 million in markets below that size. This means that a very small Mom ‘n’ Pop business could still bid up to $600 million in the largest markets to maximize its discount benefit.
A newcomer to the cast of DE characters is the “rural service provider.” Small telcos had requested such a credit to allow them to compete against the big carriers even though their revenues exceed the normal DE thresholds. The FCC obliged by establishing a 15% credit for any rural service provider – not just a telco – that is in the business of providing commercial communications service to fewer than 250,000 subscribers and serves a predominantly rural area. “Rural areas” are defined as those counties with less than 100 persons per square mile. Oddly, the FCC did not restrict the applicability of this credit to the areas where rural service providers actually provide service, which seems to open the door to abuses. A well-funded big rural carrier could bid on San Francisco with a 15% discount. However, this potential loophole was plugged by limiting the overall benefit that can be garnered by a rural service provider to $10 million. This severely limits the attraction of bidding on large markets based on the rural credit. Note too that the rural credit cannot be cumulated with regular small business credits.
the default or delinquency was the subject of a legal or arbitration proceeding and was cured upon resolution of the proceeding.
These measures ensure that old and petty defaults do not forever brand the delinquent debtor. The FCC also clarified that the scarlet FD is only branded on the foreheads of those applicants whose controlling interests are former defaulters. The FCC did not exempt from the FD category defaulters whose default remains in dispute by appeal or other means.
The FCC also added an interesting footnote to the former defaulter status. It observed that it has not treated as a former defaulter a reorganized debtor under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code that has defaulted or been delinquent on any non-tax debt owed to any Federal agency prior to being in, or during, bankruptcy. This seems odd since the purpose of the former defaulter rule is to ensure payment from previous deadbeats, and the fact that a previous deadbeat escaped its debt by bankruptcy does not make it more trustworthy than any other deadbeat. The rationale for this treatment is found in the bankruptcy code, which prevents anyone from discriminating against a bankrupt person or entity based on the debt which has been the subject of a bankruptcy.
regardless of whether all the participants are actual bidders, bidding arrangements between any applicant and a nationwide service provider, bidding arrangements between nationwide service providers, and bidding arrangements between a nationwide service provider and a non-nationwide service provider. Non-nationwide service providers may, however, form joint ventures or consortia to bid in a single applicant.
These measures preclude collusive behavior among applicants and among the big four nationwide carriers, but interestingly do not prohibit a non-nationwide carrier such as DISH from having non-controlling interests in multiple applicants, as long as there is no joint bidding arrangement.
The FCC also used this opportunity to clarify a matter that has troubled communication lawyers for some time. Because there are serious penalties for violating the anti-collusion rules, applicants have been reluctant to talk to any other applicant about anything during the auction black-out period. This has restricted the ability of parties to engage in normal business interactions that really had nothing to do with the auction. Now we are advised that applicants may have agreements that are solely operational in nature. Such agreements would include those that address operational aspects of providing a mobile service, such as: agreements for roaming; spectrum leasing and other spectrum use arrangements or device acquisition. They would also include agreements for assignment or transfer of licenses. The principal caveat is that that any such agreement may not both relate to the licenses at auction and address or communicate, directly or indirectly, bidding at auction or post-auction market structure.
In its 156-page order the FCC streamlined or clarified the application of the DE rules and other auction participation rules, but those listed above are the key ones. The new rules apply prospectively only, but at least they have come in time to guide the planning process of potential bidders in next year’s Incentive Auction.
Social scientists interested in the interactions between human society and the environment regard sustainability as a key concept in their field. This study provides a systematic and critical review of established and emerging methodological approaches, as well as tools for the integrated investigation of sustainability questions. The scope of this study ranges from the local to the global recognizing the significance of the scale for sustainability efforts and measurement. It is divided into five sections:
Section one investigates the key challenges inherent in social scientific sustainability research. It focuses in particular on methodological questions that arise from recent efforts towards greater disciplinary integration.
Section two discusses the methodologies that aim at the investigation of attitudes and behavior observable at the local level - from families and households to individual organizations within communities.
Section three focuses on comparative sustainability research across different levels of socio-political organization - from cities and regions to nations and states.
Section four covers the recent developments, which recognize the significance of time for sustainability research and offer innovative methodological approaches focusing on life events and long-term outcome.
Section five provides a critical assessment of current and future trends in social-scientific sustainability research.
This is the perfect resource for academics and practitioners interested in sustainability research because it brings together contributions from international social scientists. It is a core teaching text for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in sustainability and sustainable development, geography, environmental sociology and the environmental sciences.Pretty silly if you ask me. They're called gas masks for a reason, and there's not really that much noxious gas in Fallout that I can think of, other than in Dead Money. Just because it's a post apocalyptic does NOT mean that gas masks are going to be useful in any way, radiation is not something that's breathed in. 

Even if for cosmetics, they generally give off an unnecessarily edgy vibe and I think it'd break some of the immersion, at least for some of us who prefer that sort of thing. The cosmetic items in FO3 and FNV are at least a bit believable - I don't know anyone who would want to wear a clunky airtight mask on their face and constantly change filters and such.
 
It's just plainly unrealistic and redundant. This is mod content, not something that should ever be included in the games.Found 31 literature tutors in Buffalo, NY 14201 – page 1 of 4.

Yet, I cannot say I truly discovered my love for literature until I was in 7th grade. It took a grisled, old teacher to finally open the door to true imagination and the understanding of the written word.
