Military Pay and Benefits
Attacks on Compensation System
Scope of Military Remuneration
Future of All-Volunteer Force
Marked Improvement Since End of Draft
Pay and benefits in the U.S. armed forces have improved markedly since military conscription ended five years ago. The days of $75-a-month recruit pay are only a distant memory. Today, fresh enlistees earn nearly $400 a month in basic pay. And it is calculated that housing and rations allowances and tax advantages are worth an additional $200 a month. The lowest ranking officers receive $12,450 in total compensation.
Manpower costs account for 57 per cent of the military budget in this fiscal year and 55 per cent of the $125.5 billion proposed budget for fiscal 1979. Those figures compare with the last year before the Vietnam buildup — fiscal 1964 — when manpower costs consumed about 48 per cent of the defense budget. A recent study by the General Accounting Office said $18 billion in defense spending between 1971 and 1977 was directly attributable to the all-volunteer force. Pay raises accounted for $14 billion of the extra outlay.
The Pentagon questions the way the GAO computed these figures. Nevertheless, Department of Defense officials concede that the cost of maintaining all-volunteer military forces is high and will continue to be high. "Because military service is no longer an expected obligation of citizenship," Secretary of Defense Harold Brown told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Feb. 7, "it is no longer safe simply to assume that junior soldiers, sailors and airmen perceive society's support and appreciation for their service. Many military personnel will judge society's support and measure their satisfaction to a considerable degree by how well the services provide for their basic needs…. The quality of life support for the soldier is a critical ingredient to enlistment, retention, commitment to service and readiness."

Lakers Legend Kobe Bryant Gives Kevin Durant Advice On NBA Free Agency
Mark D. Smith-USA TODAY Sports
Lakers Rumors: L.A. To Keep Pick Unless A 'Blockbuster Develops'
With the 2015-16 NBA campaign officially in the books for the Oklahoma City Thunder, superstar Kevin Durant will have a major decision to make this summer with the veteran forward becoming an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
At this point, all signs point to Durant simply re-signing with the Thunder shortly after free agency gets underway next month. The Thunder star appears to have more to gain by signing a short-term deal with Oklahoma City to opt out next summer and ink a deal in the neighborhood of $200 million.
Although it may only be a matter of time before Durant commits to Oklahoma City, former Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant has some thoughts on what the perennial All-Star should do this summer. Bryant made an appearance at NBA 2K16 Road to the Finals Championship in Los Angeles on Wednesday night and in an interview with Alysha Tsuji of For The Win if he had any advice for the 27-year-old with free agency drawing near:
Yeah, I mean, you know, you've just got to look at it holistically. What does he want out of his career, what opportunities present themselves, even I — when I was a free agent — I did my due diligence, I looked at every opportunity and I left no stone unturned, so you have to vet those things. I was just very fortunate things worked out for me in Los Angeles, but he certainly needs to look at every opportunity and make the right decision for himself — keeping in mind his fan base in Oklahoma, as well.
The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to be one of many teams trying to pry Kevin Durant away from the Thunder this summer. Durant will be the biggest name on the open market with teams hoping he at least considers making a change come July.
After taking the Warriors the distance in the Western Conference Finals, Oklahoma City wants one more shot at competing for an NBA title with Durant and Russell Westbrook leading the way. The Thunder came within one win from reaching the NBA Finals for the second time in the Durant-Westbrook era and may have taken the next step to being in the same conversation with Golden State and the Cleveland Cavaliers as a result.
With Westbrook set to hit free agency next summer, it will likely be all or nothing for the Thunder next season if Durant chooses to sign a two-year deal with an opt-out in the second year. There's a good chance Durant and Westbrook could head elsewhere with the Lakers a potential destination if Oklahoma City can't get over the hump during the 2016-17 NBA season.

We're not in the organization of baiting and switching, or lying to folks we supply a written contract to every particular person who joins-they have to sign that contract," stated Curran, who virtually right away warned Global News about the danger of defaming the business.


It is this formula that JunkAway lives by, and our innovative concept has filled a void in the marketplace.
We haul junk! JunkAway is the affordable alternative to the do-it-yourself junk removal approach. Our professionals do the heavy lifting so consumers don't have to. You point to it, we remove it! JunkAway's mission is to provide the customer with a junk removal and hauling service in an environmentally sound, completely trustworthy, and professional manner. We exist to attract and maintain customers. Our goal is always to leave customers happier than when we arrived.
The junk removal service industry is fairly new. There are just a few franchised companies that offer this service. Along with our competitive franchise fees, extensive training and ?turn-key operations, our vision for all JunkAway franchises is to provide the customer with a junk removal and hauling service in a caring, compassionate, and professional manner. Our systems are designed to be ?green without sacrificing profitability.
Often, individuals do not know what to do with many large household items—that's where we come in. Anything from appliances to wood or plain old rubbish, we haul it all. Customers enjoy our all-encompassing approach.
JunkAway intends to be the best in class regarding customer service. Each job is handled with the customer's wishes in mind—many of whom are dealing with emotional issues regarding the items they are getting rid of.

Doug and Paula Lewis started JunkAway after researching the junk removal industry as well as other business opportunities for a long time. It was important to them to have a business that could be compatible with their family life while supporting them financially. In addition, it was vital the business would allow them to achieve their charitable ambitions.
They discovered that junk removal was definitely under-served and in need of a caring, professional company. It was clear early on that customers have strong attachments to their "things" and they needed a company that could be sensitive to that. They also realized quickly that growth for their company would be best served through franchising. Partnering with like-minded business owners and bringing their expertise to someone else's dream of business ownership was clearly the way to go for them. They recognized that franchisees have the same drive and ownership in the business gives them more commitment.
At JunkAway, we provide you the process you need to be successful, the tools to get started, and the programs to make the business function well. You will come to our office for your initial training and then we will be on-site to help keep things moving forward.

Here is how to watch the Nintendo E3 2021 Direct
E3 has been a bit lackluster so far. Most gamers have sat through the weekend of underwhelming trailers as they await the Nintendo Direct on Tuesday.
Sakurai has hinted that one or two DLC fighters will be revealed at E3. But there's a lot of other potential news about fan-favorite franchises, including Metroid Prime, Pokemon, Mario, and Zelda. There are also rumors of updated hardware in the form of the Nintendo Switch Pro.
Nintendo is definitely set to steal the show this year. So let's make sure you know when it is and how to watch it in case anything historical drops. Like Captain Toad as the final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC.
When is the Nintendo E3 2021 Direct?
Nintendo's E3 presentation is set for June 15 at 9 AM PST / 12 PM EST.
The Nintendo Direct will be about 40 minutes. Nintendo spokespeople have said the focus will be "exclusively on software," which means games being released in 2021 for the Nintendo Switch.
After the Nintendo Direct, there will be a Nintendo Treehouse live stream that's three hours long. This live stream will showcase some of the titles mentioned in the Nintendo Direct.
How to watch Nintendo E3 2021 Direct
E3 is online this year, making the presentations more accessible than ever. The four places to find the live stream are:
What to expect at Nintendo E3 2021 Direct
Nintendo is notoriously secretive about upcoming games and content. A leak at Nintendo is pretty hard to come across. So it's definitely been intense anticipation leading up to this year's E3 presentation. But there are still some things fans are expecting.
Sakurai recently shared in a blog that the next two Smash DLC are "coming soon." Players are assuming this means E3 although it hasn't been officially announced. And if it does happen, players don't know who to expect. Master Chief? Dante? Captain Toad? Crash Bandicoot? Sora? Captain Toad?
Whichever DLC is announced, expect it to be pretty major. Why? Sakurai has claimed these are the last two DLC for Ultimate. Ever.
But it isn't only Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on the Nintendo Direct. Previously announced games will also get showcased once again, including Mario Golf: Super Rush and Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
Then there are the rumored releases. This includes Breath of the Wild 2, Metroid Prime 4, and maybe a Donky Kong game.
This is going to definitely be the biggest presentation at E3 2021 so remember to tune in tomorrow!

Ski jumping is a game in which the competitor aims to have the longest jump over a specially constructed ramp. The athlete's style and other factors contribute to the overall scoring as well. Ski jumping is one of the most well-known and recognizable winter games.
All around the world, 25 to 30 competitions of ski jumping are organized throughout the year. Speed, balance, and flight are the three official directions of ski jumping. To have a higher flying, the competitor must make a proper run-in, and sustain the speed and his balance. Read further to find out more about ski jumping so there won't be a need to buy an essay online about it.
Ski Jumping is a winter sport, but it is played in summer as well. For ski jumping in winters, tracks are made on icy hills, whereas in summers, the tracks are made up of artificial plastic. The track steeps on two levels. Ski jumping is a dangerous game;hence appropriate measures are taken for the safety of athletes and to minimize adverse effects.
In ski jumping, the athlete has to get more points from the judges than other competitors. They must lower down to the specially designed ramp until they ultimately reach the end ramp. From the end ramp, the athletes ski off. And then every participant strives to fly as far as possible along with the air. After this, the participants have to land on the sharp sloped hill.
History of Ski Jumping
Ski jumping was emerged from Morgedal, Norway, and can be traced back to the time when SondreNorheim won the first ski jumping competition. SondreNorheim won this competition in 1866, which was held at Ofte, Høydalsmo, Norway. SondreNorheim jumped the distance of 30 meters without a pole and is known as the "Father of ski jumping."
Husebyrennetwas the first considerablyrecognized ski jumping competition, held in 1879, in Oslo. From 1892, the annual event of ski jumping was shifted to Holmenkollen. After the development of the KongsbergerTechnique by Sigmund Rudd and TullinThams, the next big event of ski jumping took place.
Kongsberger Technique is a ski jumping style, in which the skier bends his upper body at the hips, inclining ahead at a wide-angle with arms stretched forward. With the help of this technique, the ski jumpers increased the distance, resulting in the transformation in ski jumping methods.
Since the first Olympic Winter Games, which was held in Chamonix Mont-Blanc in 1924, ski jumping became an integral part of the Olympic Winter Games. In the Olympic program for the 1964 Innsbruck Games, normal hill competition was also involved. The team event of ski jumping was added from 1988, as a third competition.
In 1936, SeppBradl from Austria made history in ski jumping. He was the first person who jumped at least one meter longer than a mark of 100 meters. The winner of the 1972 World Championship, Swiss Walter Steiner, and winner of the first FIS season (occurred in 1979-1980), Toni Innauer, broadened the scope and size of ski jumping.
Until 2009, women were not allowed to participate in ski jumping at the FIS world championships. But women's normal-hill ski jumping was included in 2011 for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Russia.
The V-style of ski jumping was initiated in 1988. Before V-style was introduced, the skiers used to keep their bodies and skies parallel to each other. Whereas in V-style, the skier rotates his feet and makes V shape using his skis. The V-style helped the jumpers to get an increased take off from the ramp.
Since then, ski jumping is continuously developing, and skiers are advancing their techniques and increasing their skill level. Ski jumping continues to be an attractive and trendy game for its supporters as well as viewers.
Ski jumping is admired and appreciated in many nations around the globe. Since this sport challenges the participants every time in demanding and tough situations, people get captivated by it. The craze of ski jumping has spread over numerous Asian and Non-Asian countries. Some significant countries that admire ski jumping are Germany, Austria, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, Sweden, England, Poland, and Slovenia.
The ski jumping has comparatively few instruments and is an individual event. Few types of equipment needed for this sport are:
Since ski jumping is a menacing game, wearing a helmet is mandatory for the players to avoid any significant injury.
Ski jumpers need specialist equipment, including ski boots. These boots help the players in leaning forward during a flight. The ski boots need to have high back, but a low-cut front. In addition to that, they need to be adjustable so each player can easily wear it according to the size of his feet.
Jumping Skis
Jumping skis are designed especiallyfor ski jumping. They are 252cm long, typically lengthier than the ordinary skis. Weight-wise, jumping skis are quite heavy since they have to be more durable to survive the impact of landing.
The ski suits are smooth, aerodynamic, and stretchable, so the skiers can easily jump and move while wearing it.
Ski Lanyard
When skiing or ski jumping, you'll need a lift pass to use the lift, and your adventure will be short-lived if you lose your ski slopes. Your ski pass is important if you love skiing and ski jumping. Some ski suits generally come with a handy ski pass pocket, but when you're wearing thick gloves, repeated access is more likely to cause loss. Skiers can wear their lift passes around their necks and tuck them into their jackets using custom lanyards. You can also customize some exclusive information on the lanyard from GS-JJ.com, such as contact information and medical alert information, to help other people identify you while you are injured. If you get in trouble, attaching an emergency whistle and small light to the lanyard can help you be quickly spotted by search and rescuers.
Scoring and Rules of Ski Jumping
The participants try to land as close to the K-line as possible. K-line is the calculated and marked line on each hill. Points are deducted for each meter over and under the jumper lands. Other factors are also considered by the judges in scoring.
FIS forms and implements the rules and guidelines of ski jumping. All the individual bodies that arrange the competitions of ski jumping have to follow these rules strictly. Some of the rules and guidelines of ski jumping are:
The style of the jumper matters a lot. The better the style of the athlete, the more points he obtains from the judges.
Gate factor is the factor where due to the fluctuating outdoor conditions, remuneration is given. This is to make sure that if during the competition weather conditions fluctuate, all the participants are treated fairly.
Ski jumpers with low weight are penalized to small maximum ski length, which results in a minimized aerodynamic lift. The reason for this penalty is that the lighter jumpers frequently jump beyond.
Having strong wind behind is favorable for the jumpers. So, the wind conditions are also taken into account before giving the final scores.
There is a calculated line on each hill, known as K-line. The ski jumper has to focus on this line.K-line is the landing area, and it is 90 meters for K-90 competitions, and for K-120 competitions, it is 120 meters.
Sixty points are awarded to the competitor who lands on the K-line safely.
Extra points are awarded if the skier lands beyond K-line. On the other hand, if the skier lands behind the K-line, he faces deduction in the points for every meter.
There are five judges close to the expected landing point. These five judges award 20 points based on standard factors like body position, landing, balance, and for keeping the skies stable and fast throughout the flight.
The winner is selected after combining the jump scores of two competitions. The athlete with the most points,is announced as a winner of the game.

Aberdeen's AUM rises over 6 months despite £11.3 billion in net outflows

Assets under management at Aberdeen Asset Management increased 2.3% to £330.6 billion ($500.2 billion) in the six months ended March 31, despite continued net outflows from emerging markets strategies.
In a half-year financial update, Aberdeen said equities AUM increased 3.8% to £110.3 billion compared to Sept. 30, while fixed income was up 1.4% to £72.4 billion. The Aberdeen solutions unit increased assets 2.8% to £128.5 billion, while real estate decreased 4.9% to £19.4 billion.
Total net outflows for the six months ended March 31 were £11.3 billion. That compared with net outflows of £8.8 billion for the same period a year earlier. Emerging market equities suffered £1.7 billion of net outflows over the six months, while global and Europe, Australasia, Far East equities strategies saw net outflows of £2.1 billion. U.S. equities had net outflows of £333 million for the six-month period.
"AUM increased slightly to £330.6 billion because of strong markets and gross new business inflows," said CEO Martin Gilbert in a conference call Tuesday. "But we had a pretty torrid time as far as outflows were concerned, largely because of our exposure to emerging markets and asset allocation decisions from clients away from emerging markets."
Gross inflows were "impacted by a lot of macro-led outflow decisions," and "it is going to be tough for us until emerging markets come back into fashion," said Mr. Gilbert.
Regarding the firm's cash levels, and its announced intention to launch a £100 million share buyback program, Mr. Gilbert said: "We will also look and see if there are any small bolt-on acquisitions we could do, to use our cash. Because one of the big criticisms about companies and buying back shares is not being able to find a use for it yourself. I think we are pretty confident we can grow our business using cash to seed funds, (and) do very, very small bolt-ons."
He said any acquisition will be "where we can add value as far as shareholders are concerned. We have been looking in the U.S. for a long time, but haven't found anything."

Q: How to pass caret symbol in URL? I need to pass ^ like a value of parameter in URL. For example:
http://localhost:8080/myapp/books?filter=^

But have an error:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid character found in the request target. The valid characters are defined in RFC 7230 and RFC 3986. I've read, that I need to encode. Have something like this, but it still doesn't work. I also try to add
    System.setProperty("tomcat.util.http.parser.HttpParser.requestTargetAllow" ^ ");
but for ^ it doen't help.
I have a controller:
@RequestMapping("/books")
public String getBooks(@RequestParam(value = "filter") String filter, Model model)
        throws UnsupportedEncodingException {

        String par = URLEncoder.encode(nameFilter,"UTF-8");
    List<Books> books = (List<Books>) booksService.findAll(filter);
    model.addAttribute("books", books);
    return "getBooks";
}

}

A: Try to follow this, it will help:
https://secure.n-able.com/webhelp/NC_9-1-0_SO_en/Content/SA_docs/API_Level_Integration/API_Integration_URLEncoding.html
@Mark's comment is also correct.

A: Try encoding the URI before doing a request to your REST Api
For instance, when you're using JS read this:
https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_encodeURI.asp
On Java: Java URL encoding: URLEncoder vs. URI
Goodluck!

Hi folks, I'm asking for some help here with a ReportView Dynamic Dialog. For some reason the ReportView stuff will just now work in my head so I'm coming cap in hand asking for some big pointers with this one.
I need a Dialog that will use the CSV, look into the C:\Data directory and put a check in the checkbox for each of the records where the file exists. The user will then check other boxes and an application runs to install the new database or unckeck and an uninstall happens.
Thanks stanl, I've started looking at this and I'm using the code from the example you gave, it's starting to make sense. However, I've got another question.
I want to be able to let the user choose between showing Type A or B. I was thinking of putting a checkbox beside the ReportView control, but how do I change the Reportview to only show Type A if the user selects the "A" checkbox.
Something like the attached image.
I recommend reading through the DialogControlGet/Set documentation in the Help file. I believe you will want request code 5 but by reading through all the request-code options you will have a better idea of what you can do. Also recommend the DialogProcOptions and DialogControlState as well.
Specifically you will need your "Types" separated into different arrays or files or you could loop through and remove the undesirable ones after writing all of them to the control. I would lean toward the former solution.


GUELPH, ON (July 07, 2011) – Grain Farmers of Ontario is moving from a standard of 14.5% moisture to 14% in keeping with the industry standards set last year.
While 14.5% is an adequate moisture level for wheat storage in Canada; 14.0% was chosen in response to our customers requests and it is also more in-line with international standards. It's important to note that all wheat deliveries to GFO this year must be at least 14.0% moisture to avoid incurring any drying costs.

The stock opened at $87.24, up 21 per cent from its offering price of $72. "The brand loyalty of Lyft has been quite impressive as the company continues to attract drivers and riders with its brand associated with corporate responsibility and social values [;] an impressive formula to go after the $1.2 trillion [U.S. transportation] market". Uber is expected to publicly file for its offering in April, kicking off a listing that could make the company worth as much as $120 billion, people familiar with the matter have said.
Co-founder and CEO Logan Green said in the early days of the company, he was told he was insane to think people would ride in each others' personal vehicles. Lyft started its IPO investor road show earlier this month with a target range of $US62-$US68 per share.
"It's good news for them to see that the market has a huge appetite for IPOs", said Reena Aggarwal, director of the Center for Financial Markets and Policy at Georgetown University. "We don't know how the stock will perform in the long term, but this morning feels like the first step in a potentially historic year for IPOs".
Lyft's long-awaited debut on a US stock exchange proved to be a success Friday, with the stock closing up 8.7% at $78.29 a share, giving the ride-hailing pioneer a $26.6 billion valuation after its first day of trading and auguring a warm welcome for other tech decacorns that have shunned the IPO pipeline for years. The shutdown of the federal government shuttered United States agencies that review IPO plans, and this must have delayed the rush of 2019 activities but the Lyft case has shown there is heightened enthusiasm for more offerings that are likely to come.
Lyft's founders, Logan Green and John Zimmer, now hold stakes valued at $675 million and $415 million, respectively.
Lyft co-founder and president John Zimmer speaks at a Leaders in Technology dinner during the 2018 CES in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S. January 10, 2018. The service quickly developed a reputation as the friendlier alternative to Uber.
Lyft, a company that has lost $2.2 billion since 2016 and has never turned a profit, is already in heady company as far as investors are concerned. (LYFT) launched its initial public offering on Friday, March 29, and by going public, the company plans to reinvest in the communities it serves.
Both Lyft and Uber have been criticized for causing congestion in cities and creating hazards to bicyclists and pedestrians.
EU Commissioner Elzbieta Bienkowska said the "vast majority" of fatal road accidents were caused by human error. The legislation, known as the General Safety Regulation, cleared so-called trilogue negotiations on Tuesday.

HomeOur PublicationsTransmission of footrot between sheep and goats
Pen trials were undertaken to assess the infectivity of ovine and caprine strains of Dichelobacter nodosus for both sheep and goats. Ovine and caprine strains were capable of infecting both sheep and goats, though sheep were more susceptible to infection with both ovine and caprine isolates than goats. The severity of lesions observed were also greater in sheep than in goats.
Ghimire, S. C., Egerton, J. R., Dhungyel, O. P. 1999, 'Transmission of virulent footrot between sheep and goats', Australian Veterinary Journal 77(7), pp. 450-453
Objective: To determine the infectivity of ovine and caprine strains of Dichelobacter nodosus for both sheep and goats.
Design: Pen experiments in which 20 sheep and 19 goats were challenged directly with the two strains, and transmission experiments on pasture, using donors infected by experimental challenge.
Results: Sheep and goat strains of D. nodosus infected both animal species in experimental challenges. Animals so infected transmitted footrot to both sheep and goats on pasture plots. A significantly smaller proportion of goats than sheep was infected when challenged with either strain . The interval between exposure and development of footrot in goats was longer than in sheep when recipient animals were exposed to infected donors on pasture. The disease was less invasive in goats than in sheep.
Conclusions: With the strains of D. nodosus used there was no evidence of host specificity. Direct transmission of footrot can occur between sheep and goats in the same environment . There is a need to include goats in ovine footrot eradication programs and vice versa.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Texans running back Arian Foster has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs with a hamstring injury after leaving in the first quarter.
Foster went to the locker room after carrying four times for 11 yards on the Texans' opening drive. Ben Tate was in at running back when Houston began its second possession.
Foster was listed as probable on Friday's injury report with thumb, chest and hamstring injuries. He had an AFC-leading 531 yards rushing coming into the game.
The Texans were already without quarterback Matt Schaub, who was inactive for the game because of right ankle and foot injuries. Case Keenum started in his place.


Scroll down to check out my work.
I'm a Ph.D. Candidate in Political Science at Emory University and expect to receive my Ph.D. in the Spring of 2019. I study international political economy, international institutions, and comparative judicial politics. My research has appeared in the American Political Science Review.
My research focuses on the political economy of economic integration, the political economy of noncompliance with international law, and the judicial politics of international and constitutional courts. I am broadly interested in how institutions constrain the behavior of political actors and how the design of institutions conditions their effectiveness. I use a combination of game theory and quantitative methods, including causal inference techniques.
My work centers on how international institutions facilitate regional economic integration. I study the political economy of why states violate economic agreements, the conditions under which international organizations effectively monitor and prosecute noncompliance, and the mechanisms by which international courts constrain states' economic policies. My work also addresses how threats of noncompliance and override constrain the ability of courts to rule against governments and how the internal politics of collegial courts constrains their ability to strategically enforce compliance. I study these questions in the context of the European Union (EU), which provides a data-rich environment for theory-testing.
I have an M.A. in Political Science from Emory. I also have a B.A. in Government and History, with Special Honors in Government, and a B.B.A. in the McCombs Business Honors Program from the University of Texas at Austin (UT).

Fjelstul, Joshua C., and Clifford J. Carrubba. 2018. "The Politics of International Oversight: Strategic Monitoring and Legal Compliance in the European Union." American Political Science Review 112 (3):429-445.
Abstract. States often violate international agreements, both accidentally and intentionally. To process complaints efficiently, states can create formal, pre-trial procedures in which governments can negotiate with litigants before a case ever goes to court. If disputes are resolved during pre-trial negotiations, it can be very difficult to tell what has happened. Are governments coming into compliance? If so, are they only doing so when they have accidentally committed a violation, or even when they are intentionally resisting? Or are challenges simply being dropped? This paper presents a formal model to address these questions. We develop our theory in the context of the European Union (EU). To test our model, we collect a new data set of over 13,000 Commission infringement cases against EU member states (2003-2013). Our results suggest that accidental and intentional noncompliance both occur, but that intentional noncompliance is more common in the EU. We find that the Commission is an effective, if imperfect, monitor and enforcer of international law. The Commission can correct intentional noncompliance, but not always. It strategically drops cases that it believes it is unlikely to win.
Fjelstul, Joshua, The Politics of Noncompliance in Common Markets.
Abstract. States create common markets to accrue consumer welfare gains. Given incentives to cheat to protect domestic firms from foreign competition, they create international regulatory regimes to manage noncompliance. But the politics of compliance generates systematic bias in the types of noncompliance cases that get litigated. I develop a formal model that explains how the politics of compliance in regulatory regimes systematically distorts the welfare gains that states accrue from developing common markets. The model predicts the sectors in which regulatory regimes are effective at reducing trade barriers — those with intermediate levels of homogeneity in terms of firm productivity — and the downstream consequences for the performance of individual firms and consumer welfare. I show that if we do not take into account the politics of compliance, our predictions about the distributive consequences of common markets and the conditions under which consumer welfare will increase will be systematically biased.
Fjelstul, Joshua, Evaluating Complex Economic Policies: Evidence of Respondent Sophistication from the European Sovereign Debt Crisis.
Abstract. This paper considers how sophisticated people are when evaluating the tradeoffs associated with complex economic policies, conditional on economic conditions in their country and their own self-reported interests. In light of a recent trend towards using referendums to make major economic policy decisions, this question has important implications for the coherency of economic policy. I provide evidence from the European sovereign debt crisis that people are sophisticated in their evaluation of one particularly salient economic policy: Commission monitoring of member state compliance with the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) to stabilize the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). I find evidence that respondents in EU member states can identify the economic tradeoffs that Commission monitoring presents, consider how their member state's noncompliance with the SGP criteria affects the applicability of those tradeoffs, and evaluate those tradeoffs given their self-reported interest in maintaining the stability of the EMU.
Fjelstul, Joshua, Life After Brexit: The Impact of Common Law Judges at the Court of Justice of the European Union.
Abstract. How will Brexit impact the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), given that the United Kingdom (UK) is one of the EU's two common law member states? This paper uses a new dataset of over 10,000 ECJ cases (the universe of cases, 1956-2016) and quasi-experimental techniques to estimate the causal effect of common law judges on case law citations. To assess the likely impact of Brexit, I identify three specific causal mechanisms by which common law judges can push the ECJ to cite more case law, the conditions under which each mechanism can operate, and how common those conditions are. Based on my findings, I run a simulation to assess the likely impact of losing the UK judge. The impact of Brexit is likely be minimal in the short term, but more substantial in the long term.
Fjelstul, Joshua, The Evolution of European Union Law: A Dynamic Model of the Acquis Communautaire.
The European Union (EU) legal system is one of the most complex and sophisticated in the world. Scholars are interested in how the EU legal system has evolved over time, and there are important, open theoretical questions. This paper models the Acquis Communautaire (i.e., the corpus of EU law) and introduces the Evolution of European Union Law (EvoEU) dataset, which tracks connections between EU primary law, EU secondary law, EU case law, national case law that applies EU law, and national law that implements EU law. This dataset is designed to further the empirical study of (a) how these areas of EU law relate to each other, and (b) how and why these relationships change over time. It is the largest, most comprehensive dataset on EU law to date. It covers the entire history of the EU (1951-2015), contains over 365,000 documents, and records over 1.1 million connections between them.
Carrubba, Cliff, Joshua Fjelstul, Matt Gabel, and Dani Villa, The Internal Organization of the European Court of Justice: Discretion, Compliance, and the Strategic Use of Chambers.
Abstract. Overseeing the complex legal system of the European Union (EU), the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) is an extraordinarily productive international court. To help the Court manage its substantial caseload, member states have given it discretion over which cases it can hear in small Chambers. The rules governing the Court's use of Chambers have evolved substantially over time. The Chambers System may have a significant impact on the application of EU law, but we know remarkably little about it. This paper provides the first comprehensive description of the rules governing the Court's use of Chambers and their evolution. We assess the degree to which the Court has complied with these rules, evaluate the Court's strategic use of Chambers, and simulate the Court's workload under counterfactual rules to demonstrate the impact of the Chambers System on the efficacy of the Court.
Fjelstul, Joshua, and Sivaram Cheruvu, The Effectiveness of Pre-Trial Bargaining in Litigation over Policy Implementation.
Abstract. The ability of courts to adjudicate disputes over the implementation of laws by government agencies depends on their ability to effectively process a docket of cases. Pre-trial bargaining over settlements helps courts correct noncompliance by freeing up docket space for hard cases. However, pre-trial bargaining can be time-consuming and ineffi- cient. Do the opportunity costs of bargaining undermine the effectiveness of pre-trial procedures by causing delays? Can structured dialogue between potential litigants during the implementation process improve the efficiency of bargaining by reducing those costs? We answer these questions in the context of the European Union (EU). First, we identify a natural experiment and use a difference-in-differences design to provide causal evidence that the opportunity costs of pre-trial procedures undermine their efficiency. Second, we use a difference-in-differences design to provide causal evidence that structured dialogue improves the efficiency of pre-trial bargaining.
Fjelstul, Joshua, The Political Economy of State Aid in the European Union.
Abstract. Business regulations in the European Union (EU) are extraordinarily complex, making it costly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) — responsible for most capital investment in the EU — to infer member states' pro-/anti-investor preferences, which can vary by sector, from their de jure and de facto policies. How does uncertainty about member states' preferences affect firms' decisions to undertake capital investments? What can states do to credibly communicate their preferences to firms? In this paper, I explore how EU member states can promote investment by using state aid to credibly communicate their preferences to non-recipient, resource-constrained SMEs. I present a formal model to identify the conditions under which signaling can induce non-recipeint firms to accept prospective investment projects that they would have rejected otherwise. I take advantage of new EU reporting guidelines to compile a new dataset of approximately 4,000 state aid awards granted in 2016 and 2017. I use this data to test the model's main prediction: That aid-granting agencies can attract the same investment projects from non-recipeint firms with smaller state aid awards when their member states are more sensitive to reputational costs stemming from insincere signals.
Carrubba, Cliff, Braden Dauzat, Joshua Fjelstul, Matt Gabel, Bureaucratic Expertise in Judicial Decision-Making.
Abstract. Under what conditions can we expect bureaucracies to choose to provide international courts with third-party briefs? Under what conditions can we expect these briefs to influence courts' rulings? Carrubba and Gabel (2015) find that the European Court of Justice is more likely to rule in favor of a litigant when the Commission submits a brief on its behalf — a finding that is robust to controlling for the position of the Advocate General. Motivated by this empirical puzzle, we develop a case-space model that examines the strategic interaction between the Commission and the Court. We analyze this model in order to examine how differences in preferences and differences in expertise drive how the Commission chooses to participate in court cases and when the Court defers to the Commission's position.
I'm currently working on several large data sets.
I'm currently working on several large datasets to support some of my current and future research projects. If you're interested in any of my data, please contact me about availability.
Compliance in the European Union (EU).
I've created a dataset of over 16,000 infringement cases opened by the European Commission against member states, covering 2003–2016. The data set includes all cases active at any point during this period. The dataset every case as it moves through the stages of the Article 258 infringement procedure. The dataset also includes the directorate-general of the Commission that initiated each case (which indicates the policy content) and the EU directive that the case concerns, if applicable. For directives, the dataset also indicates whether or not a case deals with the noncommunication of a directive (as opposed to incorrect transposition).
This dataset features in The Politics of International Oversight: Strategic Monitoring and Legal Compliance in the European Union, which was recently published in the APSR.
I've created a dataset of 10,350 ECJ cases from 1952 through 2015 (the universe of cases). For each case, the dataset includes the chamber of the Court, the composition of the panel of judges, the advocate general, the legal procedure (reference for preliminary ruling, action for failure to fulfill obligations, action for annulment, action for failure to act, or appeal), and citations (to case law, secondary law, and the EU Treaties), among other information. To the best of my knowledge, this is the only complete dataset of ECJ cases to date.
This dataset features in two of my working papers: The Impact of Common Law Judges at the European Court of Justice and The Internal Organization of the European Court of Justice: Discretion, Compliance, and the Strategic Use of Chambers.
I've created the Evolution of European Union Law (EvoEU) dataset, which tracks theoretically interesting connections between EU treaty articles, EU secondary law (regulations and directives), EU case law (Court of Justice judgments, General Court judgments, and advocate general opinions), national case law that refers to EU law, and national law that implements EU law.
The EvoEU dataset covers the entire history of the EU (1951-2015). It contains over 365,000 legal instruments (nearly the entire corpus of EU law) and records over 1.1 million individual connections between them. These connections indicate legislative and judicial political outcomes that scholars care about, including how CJEU cases affect other EU legal instruments and how new secondary laws amend existing secondary laws. It also tracks citations. This dataset is designed to further the empirical study of (a) how these areas of EU law relate to each other, and (b) how and why these relationships have changed over time. The EvoEU dataset contributes to the empirical study of EU law by providing scholars with the first comprehensive picture of how EU law has developed. It is the largest and most complete dataset on EU law to date.
The dataset covers over 4,000 treaty provisions across 16 EU treaties (including the accession treaties), almost 4,000 directives, over 130,000 regulations, over 20,000 decisions, over 10,000 Court of Justice judgments, over 5,000 General Court judgments, over 8,000 advocate general opinions, almost 150,000 national implementation measures, and over 30,000 national court cases that refer to EU law. The dataset is based on data and metadata provided by the European Commission in the publicly available EUR-Lex database.
The EvoEU dataset includes the entire network of citations among Court of Justice cases (useful for scholars interested in the Court's use of precedent), but goes a step further by including citations among all Court of Justice cases, General Court cases, and advocates general opinions. It also includes citations in CJEU cases to secondary law and EU treaties.
I co-taught a graduate course on game theory in the spring of 2016.
My teaching interests are in statistics, game theory, and international relations. In the spring of 2016, I co-taught a graduate-level introductory course on game theory. Here's a list of courses I've been involved with at Emory.
I've also completed the Teaching Assistant Training and Teaching Opportunity (TATTO) program conducted by the Laney Graduate School at Emory. TATTO is an innovative teacher training program designed to prepare Ph.D. students to teach undergraduate courses. This program consists of four components: a short summer course, departmental seminars, a teaching assistantship, and a teaching associateship (a co-teaching opportunity).
I've conducted two workshops on text analysis for social scientists for The Institute for Quantitative Theory and Methods (QuanTM) at Emory University.

It's been a while from my last entry, fall became winter, winter became spring and cherry blossoms have fallen from above to make room for the finest of greens, summer is just around the corner.
I initially intended to write a blog entry reflecting on the 2012 year and new outlook to 2013, but such a comparison is no longer valid this far into the new year, time just slipped away. Images, memories and the accumulated knowledge from all experiences are carried on to this year just like wrinkles and scars on a leather briefcase that get better with time. Looking ahead over to the ever expansive sea of possibilities, may it be a good year to all, a year of creativity health and bliss.
Over winter a full beard graced my face. The beard was something I never let grow more then a few weeks, and only now realize its the face of the man I am. I am glad I got to meet the bearded man reflecting in the mirror. With the warm weather we have been experiencing and in anticipation of the the coming summer heat, I shed the winter whiskers in exchange for my clean shaved look, lets see how long I can keep that going.
Funny how there is always something new we can learn about oneself, I encourage you to try it, let your beards grow and meet the new you at least once.
Photography, If you love it let it go.
I woke up one day, and realized that for well over 2 years I have relentlessly photographed edited, composed, clicked and painted with light each and every day. This fact is by far an amazing feat in my mind and nothing but a positive, but I needed a break. I wanted to step away from behind the view finder for a time, before I felt I needed to, if that makes any sense at all. I quickly realized that the camera was missed, and the joy from creating images never left me, it wont be long before my camera is glued right back up close to my right cheek bone, scanning composing and painting with light.
Lately I'm back to shooting in more ways then one, I am working on a photo/ video production for a tactical shooting school, reliving and training in that way once again is both demanding and exhilarating. Funny how both instinctive shooting and photography are similar, swift target acquisition, a relentless amount of decisions need to be made in split seconds and in many cases there is no second chance. I find the click much more fulfilling then a bang, but it is a discipline in which if you don't train it you loose it.
The buzz of the email msg letting me know another stock image was purchased is always cool but last month I came across a Time Business Article that was using one of my commercial stock images for sale on Getty Images, this was a special tickle being "Time", so pardon the self promotion tidbit, but I thought it was kinda cool. Always better then to come across my images being used without permission or being passed as someone else's work, which sadly happens as well.
Teaching Photography at Boston University Center for Digital Imaging Arts (BUCDIA) in Georgetown was a great honor and experience, but the dismal pay left far to many question marks to jump in and do that more often. Reflecting back at the school program, I cant help but be privileged by that fantastic experience, amazing talent of teachers staff and student, I miss it dearly.
The Wall52 Project book which I was rushing to complete is finished and in the blurb book store, but will be re published with the right cover and smaller fonts and a missing entry, all which will be resolved with Blurb ASAP, and might just keep this edition change it to soft cover as a cheaper option, I will keep you posted on that.
Visiting my home town, Kiryat Ono Israel, I don't get to visit to often, but every couple of years I find myself drawn back here. The flights here were unpleasant , as expected nowadays. And once again the fulfillment of a seemingly simple reservations by an airline, is impossible, and we, a family of 5 with 3 kids one of whom is 8 weeks old, were split up on an overbooked international flight. The bulkhead which we reserved went to customers who payed extra for legroom, that was the explanation. but that is the end of my rant… ah the Joy of Air Travel.
The wonder and excitement in my daughters eyes, easily made up for the frustration. looking out the window while a sunset reflects over river, the blur of green on swift take off and a sweeping banking turn over Tel Aviv right before landing, its in those moments I am a kid once again.
Back in my home town, and among family which has expanded, lots of babies and smiling faces, Cheers to you all near and far, may it be a Happy Hebrew New Year.
Summer is officially over, and that is never a good thing, but the sound of drums and bagpipes rising from the forests of revel grove is music to my ears. Maryland Renaissance Festival is in full swing, every weekend from the end of Aug to the end of October. Ren Fest has been the consolation prize after loosing summer, and what a great gift it has been, the sounds colors smiles and great friendships over the years keep on giving. Cheers! or should I say Huzzah !
The Rogues are back this year for the first two weeks, The fair isn't the same without them.
The weekend is right around the corner, and more images and good times are to come, please enjoy a selection from my view finder. Cheers!
