the announcement, Duke responded to comments about the situation, writing: "We were unaware their founder [referring to IAVA president Paul Reickhoff] was a complete lying douchebag. We will no longer be supporting this organization." The comment was later deleted.

On his personal Facebook page, Rieckhoff responded by calling critics of IAVA "trolls" and "haters." He also posted an article about Johnson distancing himself from the veterans.

In that Military Times article, IAVA officials said they would continue to have public conversations about veteran's issues beyond the forum Wednesday night. "The conversation focused on veterans should not end on September 7th and with the major party candidates," said the IAVA statement. "As a non-partisan organization with an extremely politically diverse membership we are committed to expanding the public conversation about theDonald Trump will remain EP on 'Celebrity Apprentice'

Donald Trump will remain as an executive producer on NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice," even while serving as president of the United States.

That agreement, first reported by Variety and confirmed by sources at NBC and the Trump campaign, means the president will have an interest in a show aired by a media company that also reports on his presidency -- a major conflict of interest for the network.

"The Apprentice," which Trump hosted for 14 seasons, was created by Mark Burnett and is owned and produced by MGM. The 15th season, hosted by former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, will air on NBC starting January 2.

NBC Entertainment, NBC News and MGM all did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the decision to keep


Trump as an executive producer.

It is unclear how much Trump will be paid per episode.

Hope Hicks, a Trump spokesperson, told CNNMoney: "Mr. Trump has a big stake in the show and conceived of it with Mark Burnett."

Burnett, who had distanced himself from Trump in October by criticizing "the hatred, division and misogyny" of his campaign, met with the president-elect this week and, according to The New York Times, may be planning to produce his inauguration.

According to Variety, Trump's name will air after Burnett's during the credit sequence and before Schwarzenegger, who is also an executive producer.

Trump last hosted "Celebrity Apprentice" in February 2015, before running for president. In July 2015, NBC announced that it would cut all business ties with Trump due to his remarks about Mexican immigrantsbeing criminals and rapists.

Trump's ties to NBC further became an issue after The Washington Post published a tape from "Access Hollywood" in which Trump bragged about groping women.

Correction: The original version of this story incorrectly reported that NBC would be paying Trump for his role as executive producer.

Feature In Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "Paul Revere's Ride," light from lanterns served to signal how British troops would arrive at the start of the American Revolutionary War: One if by land, two if by sea.

In wars to come, US naval robots will traverse both.

At the 2017 Naval Future Force Science and Technology Expo in Washington, DC, last month, Pliant Energy Systems showed off its Agile Amphibious Swimmer (AAS1), a robot designed for both terrestrial and aquatic travel.

What makes this bot – known as "Velox" internally – noteworthy is the means by which it propels itself: a pair of undulating ribbons that function as fins, for thrust and guidance.

"It's a novel kind of propulsion," said Tom McKenna, program officer for the US Office of Naval Research's Bio-Inspired AutonomousSystems program, in a phone interview with The Register. "It's similar to the propulsion in some aquatic animals like rays and squid."

It also resembles a snake in the way it wriggles across grass, snow, and ice.

The ONR, which helps develop technology for the US Navy and Marine Corps, has contracted with Brooklyn, NY-based Pliant to develop Velox as a platform capable of moving from water to beach and back again.

That's a difficult transition. Amphibious vehicles manage it by being hovercraft or by combining wheels, for land travel, with aquatic propulsion, usually in the form of water jets or a propeller. Velox, which means "rapid" in Latin, can operate in either environment using a single mechanism for movement.

New wave

Filardo said he began thinking about wave power in the late 1980s as a student at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, where he studied biology and oceanography.

Wave power, he explained, works well until a storm comes along and wrecks things. That got him thinking about what would survive waves and how energy might be harnessed through non-linear mechanical action.

By the mid-1990s, Filardo had a degree in architecture too, and after about a decade working as an architect, he came across SRI's work on dielectric elastomers [PDF], also known as electroactive polymers.

It's a substance that serves as a variable capacitor, Filardo said. The material allows you to generate electricityThe sleepy little castle town of Carcassonne awakened early. From nearby villages came donkey carts laden with produce. In the air were sounds of wooden wheels; of bleating goats and braying donkeys trotting into market. By the time the church bells began ringing for the morning Angelus, merchants emerged like insects and commenced shouting their wares. At once, the soft hubbub of noises turned into an almost deafening cacophony of sounds. Another uneventful day in Carcassonne has begun.

declined significantly during wartime, especially during the American Civil War, World War I, and World War II. The Federal Reserve, which was established in 1913, was designed to furnish an "elastic" currency subject to "substantial changes of quantity over short periods," which differed significantly from previous forms of high-powered money such as gold, national bank notes, and silver coins. Over the very long run, the prior gold standard kept prices stable - for instance, the price level and the value of the U.S. dollar in 1914 was not very different from the price level in the 1880s. The Federal Reserve initially succeeded in maintaining the value of the U.S. dollar and price stability, reversing the inflation caused by the First World War and stabilizing the value of thedollar during the 1920s, before presiding over a 30% deflation in U.S. prices in the 1930s.

Under the Bretton Woods system established after World War II, the value of the U.S. dollar was fixed to $35 per ounce, and the value of the U.S. dollar was thus anchored to the value of gold. Rising government spending in the 1960s, however, led to doubts about the ability of the United States to maintain this convertibility, gold stocks dwindled as banks and international investors began to convert dollars to gold, and as a result the value of the dollar began to decline. Facing an emerging currency crisis and the imminent danger that the United States would no longer be able to redeem dollars for gold, gold convertibility was finally terminated in


1971 by President Nixon, resulting in the "Nixon shock."

The value of the U.S. dollar was therefore no longer anchored to gold, and it fell upon the Federal Reserve to maintain the value of the U.S. currency. The Federal Reserve, however, continued to increase the money supply, resulting in stagflation and a rapidly declining value of the U.S. dollar in the 1970s. This was largely due to the prevailing economic view at the time that inflation and real economic growth were linked (the Phillips curve), and so inflation was regarded as relatively benign. Between 1965 and 1981, the U.S. dollar lost two thirds of its value.

In 1979, President Carter appointed Paul Volcker Chairman of the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve tightened the money supply and inflation was substantially lowerCINCINNATI /CONEY ISLAND MONDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 2005: James Erdman's five year old son Eddie hid his eyes as they rode the roller-coaster at the annual Cincinnati AFL-CIO Picnic, held at Coney Island, that attracted upwards of 20,000 people.

No group took responsibility for the bombs. A statement issued by the city authorities blamed ''saboteurs of foreign origin.'' It did not elaborate, but the authorities have routinely said previous bombings in Pakistan were the work of agents of the Communist Government in neighboring Afghanistan.

This was the first bombing reported in Karachi, but bomb attacks have recently become more frequent in Pakistan. Nine days ago, three blasts within a few minutes killed seven people in Lahore, Pakistan's political heartland. No Arrests So Far

No arrests have been made in the earlier attacks, and the Government of President Mohammad Zia ul-Haq has not publicly blamed any organization or country.

There has been speculation that the Lahore bombings might have been carried out by Pakistani dissidents opposed to the Government.

outrun her twin even from when they were cubs. But this time—he was livid.

Thoughts of his anger increased her speed, and the

with menace. The farther she ascended Mt Robson the colder it grew, and a
shiver ran through her. If Cody didn’t back off soon, she’d have to spend the

she was hungry, having missed lunch, and in no mood to hunt.

Book Description:

Caleb Grayson’s opinion of humans is about as low as it can get until Lara Walker enters his life. But can the pretty veterinarian be trusted with his secret? As alpha of his pack, he is duty bound to keep them safe and that means maintaining anonymity.

When Caleb offers Lara a job on the mountain she loves, it is like a dream cometrue, but there is something strange about the handsome biker. Little does she know that he is harboring a secret that once revealed will turn her world inside out and have repercussions neither could have expected.

Caleb Grayson’s
fur spiked and his tail swished with anger as without a thought or a care, Nora
bounded off down the street, leapt over the suburban fence and was lost from
sight. His orders to the pack had been clear. Bare minimum—travel in pairs.
Stay together at all times. Watch each other’s back. The lure of fresh rabbit
must have overridden duty and common sense.

The growl he
released was feral as he took off after her. The rules were put in place to
keep his pack safe. Hunters were on the warpath and they were after wolf
shifters with deadly


intent. He’d already lost one member to their violence and
would not lose another. Humans, he made a derisive sound. They were uncaring
and self-centered. He’d yet to meet one he liked. He pulled his muzzle into a
sneer and bared his teeth at the thought of that race.

One giant leap
had him over the fence and landing smoothly on all fours on the other side.
Nora was farther up the yard edging closer to her goal, but she was not alone.

Frozen to the
spot he couldn’t move had his life depended on it. It was as if he’d stepped
into a trough of rapid dry cement and was stuck fast. His heartbeat had ramped
up and his tail twitched at the sight of the divine human before him.

Awestruck, he
snarled at the smaller gray wolf besidehim. They’d talk about her
transgression later. Nora was an adolescent and still in the playful stage of
wanting to hunt live prey. Fresh meat was tempting but no excuse for defying
his orders. She pawed the ground waiting for him to speak telepathically, but
he was speechless. The female human had him dumbstruck and transfixed.

She was a good
head shorter than he, athletically built with dips and curves in all the right
places, and her spiral curls were the color of marmalade and looked every bit
as rich and glossy in the lunar light.

It came to him
in a flash then; this human with her emerald eyes sparkling like gemstones was
his mate. He’d waited centuries to find her, had given up hope, and now, like a
bolt from the blue there she was. Not even Lycan,


but human. It was cruel,
preposterous, but true. He had little tolerance for the species, but he ached
to carry her home, cherish her, breed with her, howl with elation, but he
quashed the instinct as his homosapien side surged to the fore—tread carefully,
do not rush this—she may not understand.

“Caleb, what is
it?” Nora’s telepathic voice quivered with unease.

He didn’t
answer, couldn’t answer, so consumed was he with the human before him. Her
shape was visible through the silk of her gown. The night breeze had molded the
thin white material to her womanly form. She was a vision. He was grateful it
was a she-wolf beside him and not a male from his pack.

As he continued
to stare, mouth agape and tongue lolling, the breeze picked up and she
shivered. Her nipples punched out against the flimsyfemale. The stiffening breeze had
whipped the ginger ringlets around her face giving a halo effect, but when her
eyes widened and she trembled, it pierced his heart like a blade. He hated
seeing her frightened, smelling her fear, but at this point there was little he
could do.

It was a tense few hours but he's stable. He is a Sergeant... It turns out that he and his 8 men were in a truck, following another truck, when the first truck hit an IUD. All the men in the second truck surrounded the injured in the first, forming a circle to protect them until help could arrive. They waited three hours. Then they saw a man walking fast toward them. Shaun, my nephew, raised his rifle and ordered him to stop. The man started running very fast toward them and then -- I don't know if Shaun got a shot off --- but the man blew himself up.

I skyped with my nephew, Shaun, on Sunday. He is okay. His hand is in a brace and he had 15 pieces of shrapnel removed... one piece in his face they are going to leave in. He is remaining in Afghanistan and will be back on duty after a month or so. He received a purple heart with a bunch of benefits like aid for his child's college tuition (nice).

No one died, thanks to Shaun's diligence... spotting this guy before he got any closer. He detonated his suicide vest about 15 meters away from 18 soldiers. Shaun was the closest. He was thrown to the ground. His rifle was blown ten feet away. Hecaptain got a piece of shrapnel went through the throat to his spine. He'll be ok but was evacuated to Germany with a couple of others who were badly wounded.

They stopped to help a Special Forces truck. Turns out the truck flipped when a motorcycle pulled out in front of them in front of some shops near Kandahar airport. Nato (British) troops also stopped to help and that's when the suicide bomber appeared. Shaun said they made eye contact. It was a kid about 15 years old. He had the "look of death" on his face. They shave all facial hair (beards,etc) to prepare to present themselves to Allah after they die. Shaun spotted this kid coming round a corner and knew immediately he was there to kill

Sam Cosgrove scored his sixth goal in four games for Aberdeen as struggling Hearts suffered yet another Scottish Premiership defeat at Pittodrie.

Cosgrove's double made it four goals in a week for the striker and moved Aberdeen up to second in the division, having been seventh just 11 days ago.

Hearts finished the game with 10 men after Demetri Mitchell received a second yellow card late on.

They have now lost six of their last nine Premiership matches.

For Aberdeen, they keep up the pressure on leaders Celtic ahead of the Boxing Day fixture at home against Brendan Rodgers' side.

Revitalised strikeforce

To say that Cosgrove has had a difficult time winning over the Aberdeen fans would be an understatement. Sent off minutes into his debut, ittook him 17 games just to score his first goal for the club.

However, he and Stevie May - another who has struggled to impress until recently - are both enjoying a purple patch, with five goals between them in Aberdeen's previous three games.

McInnes elected to stick with a winning combination for the third game in a row, and within two minutes the pair had combined for the opener.

A poor header from Olly Lee was pounced on by May, and Cosgrove rose highest to nod the floated cross beyond the reach of debutant goalkeeper Colin Doyle.

And Cosgrove added a second in the second half from the penalty spot after Scott McKenna was bundled over by Christophe Berra.

Aberdeen were buoyant, dominating the first half with Niall McGinn and Max Lowe


Steven Naismith both hit the deck in separate incidents, then Mitchell was red carded after a lunge on teenager Dean Campbell.

With nine wins in their last 12 games, Aberdeen are in form and ahead of a potential Christmas cracker against champions Celtic.

'Aberdeen can challenge' - analysis

BBC Scotland's Tyrone Smith at Pittodrie

Aberdeen's resurgence continues - that's four wins in a row - and they showed all the qualities of a team with the credentials to be title challengers.

In Cosgrove, they have a genuine goal threat. In Graeme Shinnie and McKenna they have got a real gritty, granite spine. And in Lewis, they have a top-class goalkeeper. Add to that the sprinkling of talented young players that are currently peppering theYCIS's Year 3 Learning Community!

"ADVANTAGE: JOHN CENA."

– CM Punk took part in a WrestleMania XXVIII media blitz this morning in Atlanta, Georgia and noted talking to former WCW announcer Tony Schiavone at one point. He tweeted, "Just chatted with Tony Schiavone! That was awesome!"

Schiavone, who is the Sports Director of WSB Atlanta, said of the WWE Champion on Twitter, "Just met C.M. Punk . He was at the radio station. Very talented guy, as I'm sure you know."Inter have officially reached a basic agreement with Dutch tactician Frank de Boer over his potential succession to Roberto Mancini as coach.

Mancini left the Nerazzurri recently after tensions between him and the club gradually worsened over time, and former Ajax boss De Boer looks set to be a quick replacement.

As reported by gazzetta.it, the 46-year-old will sign a three-year contract, worth €2 million for the first year and €3m for the next.

De Boer was Ajax boss between 2010 and 2016, after joining them at the end of a spell as Netherlands coach, where he won four straight Dutch Eredivisie league titles and the Johan Cruyff Shield.

It is De Boer’s first stint in Italy as either player or coach, after spending time with Ajax, Barcelona, Galatasaray and Rangers during

She said she asked the dog's owner if she could pet his dog and he replied "yes."

"I bent down to pet the dog for a quick second," she said. "The next thing I know, the dog jumped up and bit me, it was kind of scary."

The dog's owner immediately ran off, she said.

The Conservative leader endorsed a report by his party's policy group on security issues, which said: "We need to recognise that a central element of foreign policy - the intervention in Iraq - has failed in its objectives so badly that the threat to this country is actually greater than it was before it began."

Mr Cameron, who voted for the war in 2003 despite misgivings, said it was "fact" that the threat to Britain was greater now. He said Mr Blair had behaved like a "new best friend" telling Washington what it wanted to hear. While


he would have no truck for anti-Americanism, he said: " Where there are areas where we don't agree, we shouldn't be afraid of saying so."He also backed the group's call for the Foreign Office to reassert its influence over foreign policy after criticism that Mr Blair's "sofa" style of governing had meant the key decisions were being taken in Downing Street. "I want to be prime minister of Britain, not president," he said.

The group, chaired by Dame Pauline Neville-Jones, former chair of the Joint Intelligence Committee, said it was no longer possible to look at domestic security and foreign policy separately. It proposed a National Security Council to oversee both, and the appointment of acabinet-level security minister.

The report called for a new approach in the Middle East based on a " partnership for open societies" and a display of "humility and patience". Dame Pauline said: "What we can't do in future is hang our whole strategy on the military. We must have a policy that's far more diplomatically interested."

The criticism of Mr Blair is echoed by Chatham House in a report published today, which says the "root failure" of his foreign policy has been his inability to influence the US - despite the UK's "military, political and financial" sacrifices.

Professor Victor Bulmer-Thomas, the think-tank's outgoing director, said the invasion was a "terrible mistake" which drove a "horse and cart" through Mr Blair's doctrine of international community. "The post- invasion debacle has undermined British


influence internationally and over crucial issues including a two-state solution in the Middle East," he said.

Mr Blair's official spokesman said: "The terrorist threat did not begin with Iraq. It was there before 9/11." He said the Government was addressing the issues as a whole "rather than trying to find an excuse".

Michael Moore, foreign affairs spokesman for the Liberal Democrats, said: "In this new security initiative, the real cheek is for David Cameron to try to distance himself from the Iraq war. This will not wash with the British public."

Meanwhile, in Washington, Robert Gates assumed the helm at the Defence Department yesterday, warning in his first public remarks that failure in Iraq would haunt the US for years.

Criminal network linked to Daniel Perry death disrupted in the Philippines

MANILA, Philippines - An INTERPOL-coordinated operation targeting organized crime networks behind ‘sextortion’ cases around the world has resulted in the arrest of 58 individuals, including three men linked to the group which harassed Scottish teenager Daniel Perry.

Perry, a 17-year-old victim of an online blackmail attempt, died after jumping off the Forth Road Bridge near Edinburgh in July last year.

In the first operation of its kind, information shared between the INTERPOL Digital Crime Centre (IDCC), Hong Kong Police Force, Singapore Police Force and the Philippines National Police (PNP) Anti-Cybercrime Group led to the identification of between 190 and 195 individuals working for organized crime groups operating out of the Philippines.

Close cooperation with Police Scotland, the US Immigration and


Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Philippines Department of Justice Office of Cybercrime and the UK's National Crime Agency CEOP Command, resulted in the identification of sextortion victims in Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States. Potential victims were also traced to Australia, Korea and Malaysia in addition to the hundreds of individuals in Hong Kong and Singapore already reported as victims.

Codenamed Operation Strikeback, a series of raids was carried out by the PNP in Bicol, Bulacan, Laguna and Taguig City on 30 April and 1 May resulting in the seizure of 250 pieces of electronic evidence including mobile phones, laptops, network and storage devices as well as live ammunition.

Since 1983, Dennis Dailey has owned that property on the other side of the fence, making him one of Haskell Square’s oldest neighbors. The Kansas University professor emeritus of social welfare and his wife, Judy, acquired the Robert H. Miller Home & Farm from another family, who bought it


from the Millers after 100 years of ownership. The original two-story home was built in 1858, with other elements of the farm — a milk house, a barn and a brick privy — added in the decades that followed, according to documents filed with the National Register of Historic Places.

Like its small-business neighbors, the Miller house is a kind of survivor, too, having been passed over by bushwhackers in Quantrill’s Raid — William Quantrill was friends with the family. But it is also a landmark of abolition. The strangeness of this dichotomy is not lost on the property’s modern owner.

Weatherwax owns Free State Doors Inc., 1100 E. 11th St., and the thrift store is actually his second foray into the strip mall. In the early 1970s, he operated a laundromat here. But his family connection with Haskell Square runs even deeper than that.

Weatherwax’s father, John, who died in 2008, was a former Lawrence mayor and a longtime principal in Viking Investment Corp., the company that built the strip mall in 1968. Those were different times, Scott Weatherwax recalls.

Other restaurants that washed out of the strip mall have suffered from similar setbacks with the aging building’s condition, according to Kansas Department of Agriculture restaurant inspection records.

The "Third Generation" of the Frankfurt School

by Joel Anderson, Washington University in St. Louis

appearing in Intellectual History Newsletter 22 (2000)

(See also the Selected Writings of the Third Generation)

C ritical social theory in Germany is currently in a period of transition. The 75-year-old "Frankfurt School" tradition was led first by Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno, and then by Jürgen Habermas. Although Habermas and other members of the "second generation" remain active, his 1994 retirement marked the end of an era and the emergence of a new generation in critical social theory, led by Axel Honneth. Though the criteria for a generation are no less problematic than those of a "school" - there are thorny issueof who's in and who's out, or whether members of the new generation have so "betrayed" the tradition as to not belong to it - this changing of the guard allows some historical perspective on key turns in critical social theory in Germany.(1) The present essay aims to characterize this new generation of German critical social theorists both in its distinctiveness and in its continuity with the broad Frankfurt School tradition.

1. The Original Frankfurt School

The first generation of the Frankfurt School is relatively simple to identify, since they almost all worked for their namesake: the Institute for Social Research (Institut für Sozialforschung) in Frankfurt am Main. After an initial period under Carl Grünberg (1923-8), the Institute gained its recognizable character under the directorship of Max Horkheimer and included


the Institute was shut down by the Nazis in 1933, the exiled circle remained relatively intact, especially during the initial period in New York, where they were housed at Columbia University (not, as is often thought, at the New School for Social Research). Horkheimer, Adorno, and the others pursued the defining themes of the first generation - Freudian Marxist analyses of the roots of totalitarianism in mass culture - themes that became the basis for work carried out in Frankfurt, after the Institute for Social Research was reestablished under the directorship of Horkheimer (later rector of the University of Frankfurt). During this second heyday of the Institute (1950-70), the term "Frankfurt School" came to stand for a social-theoretic approach employing methods of qualitative social science to expose theideology responsible for various societal pathologies.(5)

2. The Second Generation: Habermas and the Search for Normative Foundations

It was at the Institute for Social Research that Jürgen Habermas got his first research job, after a couple of post-doctoral years as a features writer for newspapers.(6) Of the members of this second generation who were associated with the Institute - including Ralf Dahrendorf, Gerhard Brandt, Ludwig von Friedeburg, Oskar Negt, and Alfred Schmidt - no one compares in stature and influence to Habermas. This was not the case at the outset, however. After several years of empirical work at the Institut, Habermas ran into resistence from Horkheimer. In particular, in a move that represents the rough equivalent of denying tenure, Horkheimer refused to approve as a Habilitationschrift Habermas's 1962 monograph, The


Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere, seriously straining Horkheimer's relations both with Habermas and with Adorno, who was the advisor on the project. It was through the intervention of Wolfgang Abendroth, the sole West German Marxist professor of philosophy at the time that Habermas was able to habilitate in Marburg, subsequently accepting a position in Heidelberg.

Habermas returned to Frankfurt two years later (in 1964) as professor of sociology and philosophy, and from the work published in the 1960s, one can see how he was pulling away from his mentors at the Institute. What began to emerge as Habermas's distinctive approach to critical theory was a focus on specifying the conditions under which human interaction would be free from domination. Whereas the first generation had looked to various formsof economic, political, or psychoanalytic "crisis" as sites of emancipatory impulses, Habermas looked to the ideal of free interpersonal interaction as it was found in ordinary life and, specifically, in linguistic communication, to serve as the key source of emancipatory impulses.

The key turning point - and the end of the first generation's era - came around 1970 with the deaths of Adorno (1969) and Pollock (1970), and the departures of von Friedeburg (to become Hessian Minister of Education in 1970 and see through a controversially progressive democratization of the German education system), Horkheimer (who retired to Switzerland), and Habermas (who left for Starnberg in 1971). Moreover, after the founding of the Social Sciences Department in 1971, the Institute no longer offered courses, and became dependent on soft money


for funds. Since then, the Institute for Social Research has receded as the institutional home of critical social theory in Germany, although it continues to operate to this day.(7)

In terms of theoretical developments, the defining years for the second generation were 1971-81 in Starnberg (near Munich), where Habermas was director of the "Max Planck Institute for Research into the Conditions of Life in the Scientific-Technical World." At this think tank, Habermas put together the team of researchers that took critical social theory in a new direction.(8) The work in Starnberg was extensively empirical, with Habermas and colleagues churning out working papers on ego-identity, communicative competence, moral development, societal pathologies, processes of rationalization, legal evolution, and so on. But this was also the period in which Habermas intensified hisstudy of analytic philosophy of language as part of developing his universal pragmatics of communication.(9) This work in Starnberg culminated in the defining work of the second generation of the Frankfurt School: Habermas's 1300-page Theory of Communicative Action, first published in 1981.

For Habermas and his generation, the program of the founders of the Frankfurt School lost its plausibility in its failure to solve the problem of normative foundations. Drawing on Lukács' s radicalizing synthesis of Marx's concept of alienation and Weber's thesis of the "iron cage" of Western rationalization processes, Adorno, Horkheimer, Marcuse, Fromm, Benjamin, and others opposed "reification" of the human spirit by capitalist and bureaucratic forces, but its wrongness was taken to be obvious. Insofar as the standards of criticism were thought to need analysis, it


for social coordination, according to Habermas's social pragmatism, that generates from within pressures toward reaching agreement, thereby unleashing "the rational potential of communicative action."

In addition to providing a "discourse-theoretic" account of normative foundations, Habermas's analysis of processes of communication is itself a direct contribution to critical social theory, particularly in his analysis of domination in terms of "systematically distorted communication". This is a theme that recurs in a wide variety of contexts, from his attacks on technocratic politics, to his defense of radical democracy, to his reinterpretation of reification in terms of the "colonization of the lifeworld". The key idea is that what is most pernicious in various trends in highly-industrialized societies - bureaucratization, militarism, technocracy, laissez-faire economics, privatization, mediatization, ideologically driven approaches to immigration and social policy,concern about the resurgence of the insanity behind the Third Reich has encouraged its members to look beyond the German philosophical tradition. In particular, Habermas's reliance on Anglo-American philosophy seems at least in part to be motivated by a desire to have German and American intellectual cultures so intermarried as to render absurd the idea of a pure German "Sonderweg" (the "distinctive path" between Bolshevism and Americanism that was touted by Nazi intellectuals). In that regard, Habermas has been remarkably successful. Together with Karl-Otto Apel (and the third-generation sociologist Hans Joas), he made philosophically respectable the pragmatism of Dewey, Peirce, and especially Mead. And, in conjunction with Starnberg collaborator Ernst Tugendhat and the publisher Suhrkamp, he has helped open German philosophy departments to analytic philosophy. By the late


1980s, in fact, the key points of reference for Habermas's graduate students and associates were more likely to be Donald Davidson, Michael Dummett, or John Rawls than Adorno, Lukács, or Marx - a shift that generated quite a bit of confusion on the part of foreign scholars who had gone to Frankfurt in search of Continental philosophy.

This turn to analytic philosophy represents perhaps the clearest departure from the first generation of Critical Theory - and not only from Horkheimer and Adorno's prejudices against the banality of all things American. Habermas's insistence on very high standards for justification has drawn him into debates about truth, rationality, normativity, and knowledge that are highly developed in Anglo-American philosophy. And his efforts to cash out his intuition that "traces of reason" areto be found in the deep structure of everyday situations in which people "come to an understanding about something in the world" have led him into the heart of very technical issues in philosophy of language. Initially, this may have been seen as a peculiarity of Habermas's own approach and a departure from the Frankfurt School tradition altogether, but that seems now to have changed. Some degree of familiarity with analytical philosophy has become an entry requirement for much of the critical social theorists.(18) Once certain demands for rigorous argumentation have been internalized and once certain technical theoretical issues can no longer be dismissed out of hand, critical social theorists have no alternative but to address these issues. In effect, Habermas's appropriation of analytic philosophy has raised the


Frankfurt, Honneth is slated to also become director of the Institute for Social Research in May, 2001. Some discussion of his work will be useful as a prelude to discussing what is distinctive of the third generation as a whole.

Although not a student of Habermas's, he was hired by Habermas in 1984 for a six-year appointment as assistant professor. During that period, they worked together closely, frequently co-teaching seminars. Then, after a rapid succession of appointments at the Institute for Advanced Studies [Wissenschaftskolleg] in Berlin, the University of Konstanz, and the Otto Suhr Institute at the Free University of Berlin, Honneth returned to Frankfurt to take Habermas's chair in social philosophy in 1996. Through this period, however, Honneth worked hard to shore up the infrastructure of critical theoryin Frankfurt, especially as a co-founder of the biweekly "Humanwissenschaften" section of the Frankfurter Rundschau, as the moving force behind several book series in critical social theory (with publishers Campus, Akadamie, and Fischer, rather than Habermas's Suhrkamp), as the host to numerous influential visitors to the Frankfurt philosophy department, and as a member of the advisory board of the Institute for Social Research. Despite this centrality, however, Honneth has yet to have the opportunity that Horkheimer and Habermas had to assemble a team of researchers under his directorship, something that may well be crucial for being able to integrate the complex array of projects that make up critical social theory today.

Three themes in Honneth's work stand out as central to his approach, themes that are typical for the


both driving forces of historical development and (as we shall see below) resources for human flourishing. With regard to the first, historical claim, Honneth is opposing Marxian and Weberian strands of critical social theory that have focused on deep structural dynamics, be it the first generation's focus on the domination of nature by "instrumental reason", or Habermas's analysis of the conflict between "system" and "lifeworld", or Foucault's treatment of disciplinary regimes. Against such "hypostasizing" philosophies of history, and inspired both by his reading of the young Hegel and his generation's involvement with the New Social Movements, Honneth sees historical development as a matter of the emergence and struggles of social groups. Although he is somewhat more sanguine than many of his contemporaries about the degree to which these- is empirically confirmed by historical struggles for recognition.

Social groups are thus not only agents of social transformation; they also provide the necessary conditions for human flourishing. In one way, this claim represents a point of continuity with earlier generations of the Frankfurt School, such as the work on workers' experiences of community, the familial sources of the authoritarian personality, and the associational life central to a thriving public sphere. But Honneth's left-wing communitarian critique of social fragmentation strikes a chord that is distinctive of this generation that has lived through the period in which the traditional sources of solidarity and "social capital" have declined.(23) Drawing on themes found in the early writings of Hegel, Marx, and Lukács(24), Honneth aims to keep alive a sense of "romantic anti-capitalism"


a more appreciative (though still critical) engagement with French philosophers such as Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, Foucault, Lyotard, Derrida, and Levinas - more appreciative, in particular, than Habermas. The heightened attention to the Other also includes a return to the first generation's emphasis on psychoanalysis, in this case in the work of object-relations theorists such as Donald Winnicott and Daniel Stern.

In his work since The Struggle for Recognition, Honneth has extended his normative view to capture more fully the aesthetic dimension of subjectivity and the emotional basis of moral sensitivity. Against Habermas's more exclusive focus on the individual ego's capacity for self-determination, Honneth has emphasized the creative power of the unconscious. Echoing themes from Castoriadis, from Adorno's concept of the non-identical, as well as themes from the "ethical turn" inage in the face of revelations of Nazi atrocities, and experienced the transformations around 1968 as mature theorists. The third generation was born out of 1968 and the new social movements of the 1970s, and faced as mature theorists the fall of the Berlin Wall, the rise of the politics of ethnicity, and the acceleration of globalization.

Taking Honneth as the gravitational center of this generation (at least in Germany(27)), and with the usual caveats in mind, I would hazard the following list of the members of this third generation of the Frankfurt School (key publications are listed in the bibliography): Habermas students Lutz Wingert, Josef Früchtl, Martin Löw-Beer, and Rainer Forst (though Forst is arguably the leading figure of the nascent fourth generation); Alfred Schmidt students Hauke Brunkhorst,


Habermas, at least in his publications prior to the point where the third generation came on the scene (Brunkhorst, Forst, Lutz-Bachmann, Maus, and especially professor of jurisprudence Günther).(29)

(3) Finally, there have been those who have explored further the role of the "other of reason". In particular, Menke, Seel, Früchtl, Fink-Eitel, and Koch have focused on the emancipatory potential of aesthetic experience, drawing largely on Hegel's and Adorno's work, but often in combination with that of Nietzsche, Derrida, Lyotard, Foucault, and others. In addition, Hans Joas approaches the issue of how to accommodate within social theory the creative and innovative moment of impulse and initiative in a more pragmatist vein, drawing, like Honneth and Habermas, on Mead's concept of the "I" and the "me".

In including so many approaches inof mass culture is compatible with social justice and societal self-determination? And what alternatives are there - especially in the domain of work - for eliminating or at least taming the dominance of instrumental rationality?

These are questions with which the third generation of the Frankfurt School continues to be engaged. Their interest is issues of exclusion, marginalization, emotions, and otherness have drawn them in the direction of French philosophy as well as Anglo-American cultural studies and political theory - much as Habermas's concern with foundational issues of normative justification and the deep structure of communication led him to analytic philosophy. Whatever the influences of French and Anglo-American ideas on the second and third generations of the Frankfurt School, and however much critical social theory has gone from its

Pats Win Sixth Super Bowl

The Patriots claimed their sixth ring in Super Bowl LIII at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia last Sunday winning 13-3 against the Los Angeles Rams in the lowest scoring Super Bowl of all time, tying the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl wins in National Football League history for a franchise.

The game was a defensive struggle from the start of the game, as the only score of the first half was a 42-yard field goal by kicker Stephen Gostkowski. The Rams tied the game in the third quarter when kicker Greg Zuerlein booted a 53-yard field goal. In the fourth quarter, Patriots’ running back Sony Michel rushed for a 2-yard touchdown during the only red zone opportunity of the game for eitherthe education system.

He also criticised the ministry’s move to scrap German as a third language in KVs mid-session and said in a globalised world, it was important to give children the choice to pick what language they want to study.

Low-budget auteur Ed Wood is best known for his work on such films as Plan 9 from Outer Space, Bride of the Monster, and Glen Or Glenda, but the director also spent a good portion of his career penning porno novels for seedy publishers. And next week, a collection of Wood's rare X-rated fiction will be on display in New York.

Here's the assessment of Wood's novel-writing days from the gallery show, "Ed Wood's Sleaze Paperbacks":

The antiquarian mystique surrounding Edward Davis Wood Jr.'s career as an author of pornographic pulp fiction is legend. He wrote under a variety of pseudonyms, books were published and re-published under different titles, and occasionally under different author names. Multiple authors would share the same pseudonym, and the companies that published the titles weren'tthe kind of operations that kept any kind of records, nor paid royalties, nor really existed in the manner that most are to expect of book publishers.

The paperbacks are truly rare, even in an age of mass-searchable used book engines, and google ferocity. Ed Wood's sleaze fiction is also as strange, idiosyncratic and out of step with his times and mores as his infamous movies. Wood would write porn inter-spliced with lengthy philosophical, sociological and psychological discourse, he'd write first person narratives of life as a transvestite in the buttoned up America of the 1950's. He'd riff on psychosexual themes, and unleash his id, his ego and his superego in turn, sometimes in the same chapter. He'd write about sex and the human condition without veneer or filters,


offering up the damaged and anguished voice of a desperately soul-searching drunk with a sense of self-worth that would stand in dichotomy to his self-pity.

His descent into alcoholism and poverty was mirrored by the publishers that employed him. Towards the end of his life he wrote pornography with decreasing amounts of the strange flourishes of his eccentric personality. He died in 1978 of an alcohol-induced heart attack. His friends say the porn killed him.Anne Frank Story Still Inspires

Children Find Inspiration In Struggles Of Anne Frank

Wwii: After 50 Years

July 06, 1992|By SHERI VENEMA; Courant Staff Writer

Dear Anne, I saw your house where the store was. I liked the bookcase. I saw pictures of you in the concentration camp. I liked the pictures of you when you were small. You were just an ordinary human being.

From letters to Anne Frank by Hartford-area schoolchildren who viewed a recent display on her life at the Connecticut Historical Society.

Amsterdam is usually cloudy, so Dutch homes have huge windows to capture as much light as the overcast sky will grant. Despite the gloomy skies, Amsterdammers are an outdoor people who revel in rare sunny days. On those days, the city seems to bloom. The sun bursts in


through the huge windows, and people clog the brick streets along the city's ancient canals.

Fifty years ago today, Anne Frank, just turned 13, left the sun behind.

With her parents, she walked from the Jewish section of Amsterdam to the small building at Prinsengracht 263 and disappeared from prying Nazi eyes behind a bookcase. The bookcase hid three floors in the back section of the house -- the "secret annex" where Anne and her family, joined by four other people, would spend the next two years.

Dear Anne, It took a lot to live cooped up like that for two years in your attic.

The Germans, who overran the Netherlands in May 1940, began carting Jews away a year later. Otto Frank had planned to take his family into hiding, buthastened his plans when Anne's older sister, Margot, was told to report to a labor camp.

While the war crashed on around her, Anne's physical world shrank even while her mind kept exploring. Windows, covered with cloth or heavy slats, were rarely opened, and then only under the cover of night. Days were passed quietly, lest people in the store below hear their movements and betray them.

For the outgoing, mischievous girl just entering her teenage years, it was an excruciating passage into adulthood.

She was an avid reader and a budding writer. In her diary, she

recorded the simple joy of fresh strawberries, the petty bickering among the eight housemates, her first kiss and her terror at the possibility of discovery.

"There is nothing we can do but wait as calmly as


we can until the misery comes to an end," she wrote after six months in hiding. "Jews and Christians wait, the whole earth waits; and there are many who wait for death."

Her wait ended on Aug. 4, 1944, when the hiding place was discovered. The girl who hated algebra, who dreamed of being a journalist and who clung to her belief that people are inherently good despite so much evidence to the contrary, died seven months later at Bergen-Belsen, a German concentration camp.

"Sometime this terrible war will be over. Surely the time will come when we are people again, and not just Jews," she wrote in April 1944.

Today, the Anne Frank House is a must-see tourist stop in Amsterdam. Each year, hundreds of thousands of visitors find thenarrow house on the canal, directed by the bright flags that adorn the front of the building.

In March, I visited the house for the second time in 10 years. Its message was no less troubling this time.

I wanted to linger in the upstairs rooms. I wanted to look at Anne's wall -- her paste-up pictures of movie stars and magazine cutouts -- and at the small map of Normandy where Otto Frank used pins to chart the course of the war. I wanted to look at the old stove, the sink, even the hand-painted porcelain toilet. I wanted to look at it until I understood it all, or could feel at least some glimmerings of what they felt.

Outside, I looked at the house, the canal, the nearby Westerkerk

wife. They'll put on their protective gear andset off fireworks
that will display as two gold rings, symbolizing their wedding bands,
and two red hearts.

"Then,
we'll go back and watch the rest of the show," Heinz said.

Simply
sitting back and admiring the show is something they don't have
time to do as members of one of the fireworks crews for Skylighters
of New York.

Since
many of their wedding guests are part of their crew, their boss,
Skylighters owner Matt Shaw, is not only providing most of the
fireworks for the wedding display, but sending another crew to set
them off.

Ewert
is a graduate of Niagara-Wheatfield High School. Heinz graduated from
Lewiston-Porter High School. They both graduated from the University
at Buffalo and have "day jobs" - Ewert as a desktop computer
support specialist at UB and Heinz in the mortgage division of M&T
Bank.

It's
been six years since the couple met.

"Love
came


first," said Ewert, who didn't join Heinz' fireworks crew
until two years after they met.

She
noticed him at his cousin's house, next door to her twin sister's
house. "I mentioned to my sister how cute I thought he was."

Ewert
and Heinz met later after a Fourth of July fireworks show at Hyde
Park in Niagara Falls. Heinz was still glowing with excitement from
setting off his very first grand finale for the fireworks company.

"She
questioned if I was single ... the rest was history," he said.

As
the two got to know each other, Ewert caught his passion for
fireworks. "We love it. It's just like shells and to make it look
good."

She
also learned about all the preparation and planning that goes into a
show. Preparations for even a small show can take several hours, the
couple said.

Heinz
has received the statelicense for lead pyrotechnician, which makes
him completely responsible for the show and the safety of crew and
spectators. Anyone working with fireworks also must have an ATF
license to carry, transport and ignite high explosives.

Fireworks
can be dangerous, but because of all the safety precautions and
training involved, Heinz doesn't worry about Ewert's safety as a
member of his crew.

"I'm
more worried about her riding a motorcycle on today's roads," he
said, noting that motorcycles are another interest they share.

Recent
fireworks shows by Heinz' crew have included the Artpark 40th
anniversary show, the Sanborn-Lewiston Farm Museum show and the War
of 1812 bombardment for the Battle of Queenston re-enactment, as well
as the Fourth of July week shows in Town of Niagara's Veterans
Memorial Park and in the Village of Lewiston.

I hunt and camp around the ozarks regularly. Locals regularly drink and target

If you go through the woods, most of the trash you find looks to be at least a

Mardi Gras is celebrated
on a Tuesday and is
always 47 days before
Easter Sunday.

The celebration of
Mardi Gras – the day
before the Christian
season of Lent begins in
late
winter – is a big
occasion in New Orleans,
Louisiana, where huge
parades and wild revels
take place. Mardi Gras
means "Fat Tuesday", the
last day of hearty
eating before the
penitential season of
Lent.

As its French name
implies, the tradition
goes back to the city's
settlement by French
immigrants. Early
explorers celebrated it
on the banks of the
Mississippi River.
Throughout the years,
Orleanians have added to
the celebration by
establishing krewes
(organizations) which
host parades and balls.

The official colors
for Mardi Gras are
purple, green, and gold.
These colors where
chosen in 1872 by the
King of Carnival, Rex.
He chose these colors to
stand for the following:

Purple represents
justice

Green stands for
faith

Gold stands for
power

The Mardi Gras season
begins about two weeks
before Fat Tuesday.
During those two weeks,
parades can be viewed
nightly and on weekends.

areIt's looking more and more like WWE made significant edits to this week's RAW segment with Seth Rollins, due to the negative live crowd reactions.

We've heard from several readers who were in attendance for last Friday's RAW tapings at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England, who noted that the negative reactions were edited from Rollins' segment.

Our live spoiler recap from Friday's coverage post also mentioned the negative reactions for Rollins. Our correspondent for the post wrote, "Seth Rollins comes out to a very mixed reaction. The boos takeover and Rollins looks like he loses his train of thought for a few seconds. He tells the crowd to keep that same energy when... it's hard to hear him at points. He talks some about Triple H and the WWE


in the convo of best in the world), I'm just not big on crowd noises being adjusted to fit a narrative."

Another fan tweeted about the edits and wrote, "One of the things I've found hilarious about last weeks and last nights @WWE RAW was that there were several times the audio (fans booing and cheering) didn't even closely match what the audience was doing on TV. LMFAO wtf did WWE play with the audio?!?! #WWE"

Furthermore, a reader named Jeremie sent word that Monday's taped Rollins segment from Manchester also included footage from the October 28 RAW episode from St. Louis. Jeremie knows this because he and his friend, who attended the recent RAW in St. Louis together, were also seen in screenshots from this week's taped RAW. WWElikely used footage from the October 28 RAW to make Rollins look better in the segment where he was heavily booed at Friday's tapings.

The St. Louis RAW featured a promo from Rollins and a Falls Count Anywhere win over Erick Rowan.

You can see footage from the Rollins segment above, and below is footage from his singles match with WWE UK Champion WALTER. That match led to an eight-man match that saw Rollins, Kevin Owens and The Street Profits defeat Imperium.

And this isn't about Seth (I've been roundly abused before for arguing he is, in actual fact, very good and in the convo of best in the world), I'm just not big on crowd noises being adjusted to fit a narrative.  Alex McCarthy (@AlexM_talkSPORT) November 12, 2019


Passenger side airbag modules are normally mounted behind the instrument panel of a motor vehicle. The airbag module comprises a reaction canister which houses a cylindrical inflator and a folded airbag. It may also include a dust cover to protect the airbag and module components prior to installation in the vehicle. A breakaway portion of the instrument panel forms the cover of the airbag module. In the event of a vehicle collision, a remote collision sensor sends an electric signal to activate the inflator which rapidly generates a quantity of gas to inflate the airbag. Upon inflation, the airbag rapidly expands outward through the mouth of the reaction canister, breaking away the module cover portion of the instrument panel and deploying into the vehicle passenger compartment to cushionthe vehicle passenger from injury-causing impact with interior structures.
During module assembly, it is customary to mount a pair of spring clips to the bottom wall of the reaction canister. The spring clips serve to secure the module in place behind the instrument panel during module installation and airbag deployment. However, the current practice requires the use of rivets to permanently fasten each clip to the reaction canister which has led to numerous problems. For instance, riveting of the spring clips to the module requires separate rivet assembly stations, which add to the module manufacturing costs. Rivet stations also slow down the module assembly time, reducing throughput on the production line. In addition, rivets are a major cause of reworking the module assembly due to the necessity of replacing

"You're slowing down, you're turning off. You're not writhing in pain as you would from an infection or wound or inflamed body part," said Jay Wolfson, a University of South Florida public health and medicine professor who served as court-appointed guardian for Terri Schiavo, the Pinellas County woman who spent years on life support.

And even though it's legal, the practice can present challenging questions. While many say that giving up eating and drinking is equivalent to stopping medical treatment, some disagree.

Dr. Daniel Sulmasy, a professor of medicine and ethics at the University of Chicago, told CommonHealth, a Boston public radio program, that VSED blurs the distinction between "killing and allowing to die."

Medical treatment "interferes with the natural history of a disease," he said, "but the person who has voluntarily stopped eating and drinking — they can still eat and drink."

cotransporter and Na/K ATPase found on the surface of the choroid endothelium, appears to play a role in regulating CSF secretion and composition.

Orešković and Klarica hypothesise that CSF is not primarily produced by the choroid plexus, but is being permanently produced inside the entire CSF system, as a consequence of water filtration through the capillary walls into the interstitial fluid of the surrounding brain tissue, regulated by AQP-4.

There are circadian variations in CSF secretion, with the mechanisms not fully understood, but potentially relating to differences in the activation of the autonomic nervous system over the course of the day.

Choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle produces CSF from the arterial blood provided by the anterior choroidal artery. In the fourth ventricle, CSF is produced from the arterial blood fromCategory: Purse

portion of the road nearest the curb line with concrete surfaces for use as bus stops. This particular concrete surface is commonly known as a "bus pad." A "bus pad" is approximately 80 feet long and 12 to 13 feet wide.
*144 Daniel Lopez Concrete Construction installed one of the concrete "bus pads" on Bundy Drive at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard. This particular "bus pad" was not installed flush with the asphalt surface of the street. At some points along the pad the concrete was above level of the adjacent asphalt approximately an inch. At other points along the padand specifically on the edge nearest the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Bundy Drivethe bus pad had a height differential of approximately three inches above the roadsurface.
In situations where there is a height differential, delineators and barricades are used to notify motorists and pedestrians of the danger in order to prevent injury.
As the prime contractor, Sully-Miller was responsible for traffic control during the construction. Its responsibility for traffic control included the installation and maintenance of road barriers, traffic cones and delineators to mark ditches, trenches, uneven road surfaces and the like, in order to protect motorists and pedestrians from injury. Normal procedure for Sully-Miller was for the foreman to check that all traffic control, safety barricades and delineators were in place before leaving for the day. Sully-Miller personnel would check the safety and traffic control markers the next morning at 7 a.m.
A project inspector for the City of Los Angeles was physically present at


the construction site five days a week. The city's project inspector oversaw the construction progress and was responsible for ensuring Sully-Miller performed all aspects of the contract as agreed. If the city project inspector saw a problem he would verbally warn the on-site Sully-Miller foreman. If the verbal warning was ineffective, or if the problem posed a serious safety problem, the city's project inspector would issue a written notice of noncompliance.
On three occasions prior to the accident in this case the Los Angeles city project inspector had issued three written warnings regarding deficiencies in Sully-Miller's compliance with its traffic control plan. The warnings concerned the lack of barriers and delineators in locations necessary to protect vehicular and pedestrian traffic and directed broken or destroyed delineators and barricades bereplaced. In each instance Sully-Miller corrected the deficiencies the next day. The last written notice of noncompliance the city issued to Sully-Miller was in February 1996.
On August 13, 1996, plaintiff and appellant Dacus Wade Allen was injured in a single vehicle accident as he attempted to make a right hand turn across the elevated concrete bus pad at the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Bundy Drive. Apparently the front tire of his motorcycle caught on a three-inch raised lip of the concrete pad. His motorcycle slipped out from under him and fell onto his knee, causing injury.
In March 1997, Allen brought a personal injury and premises liability action against Sully-Miller, Daniel Lopez Concrete Construction and the City of Los Angeles. On the day scheduled for trial the


around the uneven surface to protect users of the road. Allen also points to his testimony that warning barricades or traffic cones had been missing from the uneven bus pad for some timeperhaps for three days, or perhaps for as long as two weeks.
In contrast to the Nolin, Seimon and Donnelly decisions permitting punitive damages on a conscious disregard theory, here the evidence of Sully-Miller's negligence was tempered by evidence of their efforts to prevent harm to the travelling public. Sully-Miller had a traffic control plan which reflected concern about third-party safety. Evidence established that when notified of problems with missing or destroyed delineators Sully-Miller corrected the deficiencies the next day. The evidence also established the Los Angeles city inspector, who was physically present at the site fiveSieff offers a jaw-dropping survey of the history and politics of a region that people know surprisingly little about, even though it's continually in the newspapers.

What gives them the right to decide such issues? The judges say it's the Constitution.
