 FRBSF: Economic Letter - East Asia's Impact on Twelfth District Exports (11/20/98)
Because the Twelfth District's East Asian export exposure is substantially greater than the East Asian export exposure of the rest of the nation, many observers expected the restraining effect of conditions in East Asia to be larger for the District economy than for the national economy.
East Asia appears to be having the expected restraining effects: national and District exports to East Asia have fallen substantially this year and have held down growth in total exports.
For the District, employment growth in this sector fell from 3.6% in 1997 to -0.2% at an annual rate for the first eight months of 1998; the corresponding drop for the nation was from 1.3% to -0.8%.

 Sheek v. Asia Badger, Inc. (12/29/2000, No. 99-2221)
On this point, Asia Badger's proposed instruction was correct as a matter of substantive law: it required the jury to find that an Asia Badger employee "personally supervised and directed the manner and details of the doing of the work of that subcontractor" in order to be liable for the negligence of its subcontractor.
According to Asia Badger, the court did not properly instruct the jury on the elements of vicarious liability, namely, that a party must have control over "the details and the manner of the work to be done" by the subcontractor.
Finally, Asia Badger maintains that the district court erred in refusing its motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and new trial, because the evidence was insufficient as a matter of law to sustain the jury's verdict.

 CILICIA - LoveToKnow Article on CILICIA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Cilicia Trachea is a rugged mountain district formed by the spurs of Taurus, which often terminate in rocky headlands with small sheltered harbours,a feature which, in classical times, made the coast a resort of pirates, and, in the middle ages, led to its occupation by Genoese and Venetian traders.
The district is watered by the Geuk Su (Calycadnus and its tributaries), and is covered to a large extent by forests, which still, as of old, supply timber to Egypt and Syria.
At first the western district was left independent under native kings or priest-dynasts, and a small kingdom, under Tarkondimotus, was left in the east; but these were finally united to the province by Vespasian, A.D. Under Diocletian (circa 297), Cilicia, with the Syrian and Egyptian provinces, formed the Diocesis Orientis.

This district in the time of Strabo formed a portion of Cappadocia and was completely assimilated; but earlier writers and the Persian military system regarded the Cataonians as a distinct people.
Cilicia was the name given to the district in which Caesarea, the capital of the whole country was situated, and in which rose the conspicuous Mount Argaeus.

It included the important city of Laranda; and when Lycaonia is described as consisting of the cities of Lystra and Derbe and the surrounding district, the writer is clearly thinking only of the western portion of Lycaonia, which lay in, and formed a “region” of, the province Galatia.
The province Galatia was divided into districts technically known as “regions,” and Roman Lycaonia is called the “region of Galatia” in implied contrast with Antiochian Lycaonia, which lay outside the Roman province.

 FRBSF: Economic Letter - East Asia's Effect on the Twelfth District (3/27/98)
Therefore, many studies of the effects of East Asia on District growth are based on examinations of District export exposure to East Asia.
Thus, the effect of a given reduction in demand for District exports may not be borne entirely by the District.
In summary, although Twelfth District states are about twice as dependent on exports to East Asia as the U.S., this does not necessarily imply that the East Asian impact on District growth will be twice as large.
