Second, to its credit, the Commission worked extremely fast in dealing with the hundreds of applications for rehearing filed in May, the opinion writers actually appear to have read all of these applications, and the order is very clearly written.
Third-and here's the problem-Order 636-A shares several characteristics with a hand grenade: It's noisy, it's decisive, it may have caught a lot of innocent bystanders, and, procedurally, the fragments will now probably go off in multiple directions.

Despite a considerable amount of hand wringing, second guessing, and political pressure from various quarters during the period following the issuance of Order 636, Order 636-A is fundamentally a reaffirmation of the basic precepts that the Commission had articulated throughout the rulemaking proces
An efficient renumbering method for high-order finite element models is presented. The method can be used to reduce the profile and wavefront of a coefficient matrix arising in high-order finite element computation. The method indirectly performs node renumbering and involves three main steps. In th
