Drilling Into Hydraulic Fracturing And Shale Gas Development: A Texas And Federal Environmental Perspective, Michael Goldman

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

This Article will first discuss the existing federal laws and regulations and proposed federal laws that apply to hydraulic fracturing activities as well as current studies and enforcement actions concerning the same. This Article will then discuss Texas statutes and regulations and various activities that are currently being pursued by the regulatory agencies that govern shale gas exploration in Texas. With respect to local matters, this Article will also briefly consider municipal regulation of the industry. With the rapid growth of shale gas exploration as a result of hydraulic fracturing, increased litigation has likewise grown. Finally, this Article will also …

The Tension Between Transparency And Public Appeasement In The Formulation Of Wildfire Management Strategies And The Use Of Wildfire As A Restoration Tool, Rachael E. Salcido

Texas Wesleyan Journal of Real Property Law

In this essay I explore how the Healthy Forests Restoration Act 2003 ("HFRA") and development of a National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy pursuant to the Federal Land Assistance, Management and Enhancement Act 2009 ("FLAME") purchased peace with WUI landowners. These laws emphasized "fire-adapted communities" and potentially signaled acceptance of (or normalizing) development in areas of high fire danger. By emphasizing risk reduction narrowly, we may have missed an opportunity to advance broader restoration objectives connected to bringing fire back to fire-adapted landscapes.

Texas After City Of Dallas V. Stewart: Police Nuisances Or City Police Power Abated, Lindsay Matthews

Texas Wesleyan Journal of Real Property Law

The current economic recession has been the single worst in the United States since the Great Depression. In 2010, 46.2 million people were living at or below the poverty level. As a result of the nation's economic downturn and unemployment rates, there has been an onslaught of municipal decay and abandoned buildings. Nonseasonal vacant properties increased from 7 million in the year 2000 to 10 million in the year 2010. Texas, in particular, experienced a 41% to 50% increase in the number of vacant properties in its cities. Public nuisances such as deteriorating buildings, pest infestations, and overgrown vegetation commonly …

Wildfire Policy, Climate Change, And The Law, Robert B. Keiter

Texas Wesleyan Journal of Real Property Law

This essay will first briefly review the evolution of federal wildfire law and policy. It will then examine the relationship between climate change and wildfire, including potential legal and policy implications. Next, it will identify and explore how adaptation and mitigation strategies might be employed to address the growing climate-related wildfire risk. This entails reviewing the wildland-urban interface problem and risk reduction policies designed to protect human lives and property. It also entails examining the impact climate change and enhanced fire regimes will have on natural resource management policy and strategy. The essay concludes with brief observations on how law …

Declaring Disaster, Jamison E. Colburn

Texas Wesleyan Journal of Real Property Law

The major federal lands laws, the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA"), the Endangered Species Act ("ESA"), the Federal Advisory Committee Act ("FACA"), and the traditional principles of administrative law have all combined to set a status quo with which public lands lawyers and conservationists are familiar. But wildfire has just as surely made each of our four compass points into its own special sort of paradox and is now undermining the very norms that defined this field. Whatever happens next, fire is one force among several poised to remake public lands law into a wholly unprecedented collection of institutional and …

Fire Losses And Conflicting Judicial Rulings Over Whether Property Insurers Must Indemnify Insureds And Pay Third-Party Claims - Some Implications For Wildfire Litigation In Texas's Courts, Willy E. Rice

Texas Wesleyan Journal of Real Property Law

This essay has two purposes. First, it is designed to highlight some of the issues and principles that have influenced historically whether state and federal courts will order property insurers to indemnify insureds after a fire destroys the latter's commercial and/or residential property. The second purpose is to find a plausible answer to the implied, duty-to-pay question that appears in Ryan v. New York Central R.R. Company: whether liability insurers must pay proceeds to cover third-party, fire-loss claims, if a fire (1) ignites on an insured's property, (2) spreads, (3) evolves into a "wildfire," and (4) eviscerates third-party claimants' structures …

Condemning Fair Market Value: An Appraisal Of Eminent Domain's Just Compensation, Paige Boldt

Texas Wesleyan Journal of Real Property Law

Part II of this Comment discusses the origins and development of eminent domain in the United States and Texas as well as briefly exploring the judicial developments in the interpretation of public use in the United States and Texas. As discussed below, case law has articulated the breadth of the public use definition to include utility and development plans that are for public purposes. This breadth and delegation of authority encompasses a wider range of property that may be taken than originally conceived without any sort of balancing growth in protection for landowners. Part II also discusses the origins, modern …

In Luther’s commentary on Ps 45, Jesus can properly by understood as “SweetLips” because of Luther’s bold nuptial rhetoric describing the beauty of Christ the Bridegroom. Jesus’ lips overflow with grace and are, therefore, pure sugar and honey

Simultaneous Measurement And Modulation Of Multiple Physiological Parameters In The Isolated Heart Using Optical Techniques, Leslie M. Loew, Ping Yan

UCHC Articles - Research

Whole-heart multi-parametric optical mapping has provided valuable insight into the interplay of electro-physiological parameters, and this technology will continue to thrive as dyes are improved and technical solutions for imaging become simpler and cheaper. Here, we show the advantage of using improved 2nd-generation voltage dyes, provide a simple solution to panoramic multi-parametric mapping, and illustrate the application of flash photolysis of caged compounds for studies in the whole heart. For proof of principle, we used the isolated rat whole-heart model. After characterising the blue and green isosbestic points of di-4-ANBDQBS and di-4-ANBDQPQ, respectively, two voltage and calcium mapping systems are …

Tlr8: The Forgotten Relative Revindicated, Jorge L. Cervantes, Bennett Weinerman, Chaitali Basole, Juan C. Salazar

UCHC Articles - Research

The endosomal Toll-like receptors (TLRs) TLR3, TLR7, TLR8 and TLR9 are important in sensing foreign nucleic acids encountered by phagocytes. Because TLR8 was initially thought to be non-functional in mice, less is known about TLR8 than the genetically and functionally related TLR7. Originally associated with the recognition of single-stranded RNA of viral origin, there is now evidence that human TLR8 is also able to sense bacterial RNA released within phagosomal vacuoles, inducing the production of both nuclear factor (NF)-κB-dependent cytokines and type I interferons (IFNs), such as IFN-β. The functions of TLR8 extend beyond the recognition of foreign pathogens and …
