Rare Chicago
Arrest made in October shooting death of 15-year-old boy

On October 26, 15-year-old Jeyson Gonzalez was killed during a shooting in Brighton Park. Now someone has finally been arrested in connection with the murder, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Assistant State Attorney General Jason Coelho said that 18-year-old Flor Perez, her boyfriend and another unidentified man were in a mini-van driving down the 4400 block of South Maplewood Ave.

The two men are a part of the Two-Six gang. When they saw Gonzalez and another teen, they threw up hand gestures for rival gang Satan's Disciples. Gonzalez and the other teen returned the signs.
Perez pulled the van into the alley where the two men got out, shot Gonzalez in the side, then returned to the van where Perez drove them away.
Officers questioned Perez where she was when the shooting took place. She originally lied to the officers but later admitted to officers her role in the shooting. Perez was ordered to be held on $75,000 bail on Tuesday for a first-degree murder charge.
After the shooting in October, the story was covered extensively by the Chicago Tribune.
Kelly High School is located on the 4100 block of S California. This just also happens to be the dividing line between the Two-Six and the Satan's Disciples. The school draws students from both sides of the line.

Daisy Martinez lives in the neighborhood with her 17-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter. "I worry about the kids coming and going because some crazy lunatic shooting other gangbangers and they could get caught up in the crossfire," she told the Tribune.
But despite the issues in the neighborhood, it is still home for Martinez and her family. "Everyone always hears the bad," Martinez said. "There are still people who live here, like us, normal, don't want anything to do with this. We want to walk our dogs and not get hit by some random bullet."

This article is about Saturnalia practices in Nova Roma. For the ancient holiday, see Saturnalia.
Saturnalia falls at the time when non-Romans are celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Solstice and/or Kwanzaa. In Nova Roma, individual citizens have chosen different approaches to the challenge of celebrating in the spirit of Rome without cutting themselves off from the culture in which they live.
This page is a compilation of Saturnalia celebrations reported by Nova Romans.
Secunda Floria Zonara: Gold, because the sun is yellow, is always a sure choice for a good Saturnalia decoration. For modern Saturnalia, those golden glass ball ornaments are ideal, as are gold sun faces, gold stars, and gilded anythings. Gilding nuts and pine cones and nestling them among the swags and wreaths of greenery would be a lovely way of acknowledging the ancient roots of this ceremony.
Indoor trees are not ancient Roman, but if you have plants growing indoors, decorating them would certainly be in the spirit of the holidays. If you just have to have the now-traditional indoor tree, try decorating it in gold ornaments with a solar theme. Swathe it in bright red or purple ribbons (2 colors quite in favor with the Romans, and looks great with the gold ornaments). Top the tree with a sun, rather than a star, for after all, this is a solar celebration.
Wild parties with lots of food and drink is good. Letting the children of the household lead the common rituals, and waiting on them (assuming you don't do so in everyday circumstances....) at mealtimes, and deferring to them in decisions on party ideas would work for role reversals.
No children in the house? Maybe you can borrow one for a day. We don't have slaves, but, for a nice touch of role reversal, we could purchase the services of a nanny or a housekeeper for the duration of Saturnalia. It would be a role reversal of sorts, for instead of being the slave of your home, someone else would be doing the chores and cooking and childcare while you got to party down!
Dancing and singing in the streets is now frowned upon, unless you can get a parade permit. A parade, if you could organize it, would be fun. Imagine - giant floats of the Gods tended by the priests and acolytes, musicians and dancers, contortionists to amaze and delight, acrobats and jugglers, all in honor of Saturn!
Excellent and very usable dishes from Apicius and other Romans.
Paperback. Informative, entertaining and cook-able recipes from around the Roman world, excluding Apicius.
CD containing the song Plinian, as featured on the Vox Romana podcast #6. Singing and acoustic guitar by Meredith Bragg. The other songs on this CD are just as literate as Plinian. Much of the CD seems inspired by ruminations on classical studies. SPIN magazine has a review and a download of Plinian.
HABA has a number of architectural sets based on Roman and classical themes.
L. Iulia Aquila: My family, like those of yours, has its own traditions for the festival. The daily gifting of one small thoughtful and useful present each day is a loving reminder of the season culminating with a few extra on the last day. This holiday has many variations because the traditions handed down are dependent on so many variables and often are reminiscent of many eras. In addition, in the past, they blended in to some degree on the surface with other Holidays, for example Chanukah (a little later this year) and Christmas. This only served to make our Saturnalia even richer as we shared with our friends of different religions the merriment and joy but also the great sense of the sacred and this we all have in common no matter what our beliefs are. And the tales and lore of different cultures and religions enriched us all. The games, the decorations, the lights and candles delighted us all. Every evening meal was a little special and often attended by guests of our brotherhood and those in their employ with special feasts on such days as the Bacchanalia of the Solstice; 20th century Roman feasts. The feasts extended to the eve of the 24th and day of the 25th; on the 25th we awoke just knowing this great elf called Santa Claus brought gifts to us in celebration of Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, the birth of the unconquered sun, brought forward from my strong paternal military lineage.
Mi amice, this is my small and humble offering for your enjoyment and it is my sincerest wish that this season brings you peace, prosperity and love for you and your family: Oh Saturn, oldest and noblest king, hear my sincerest prayer for your Nova Roman people for peace, prosperity and love but also sow your generative seed for the strength, fortitude and understanding to make great strides in progress for growth within the res publica. Pax hominibus bonae voluntatis!
C. Tullius Valerianus Germanicus consul: The first day of Saturnalia! This morning, I removed the bonds on my image of Saturnus, and made sacrifice unto that god. Tonight my family shared a roasted pork dinner (no, we didn't sacrifice the pig ourselves - we're not *that* traditional!). We ate by candlelight, wearing our pilei. I had some mulled mead to drink - my substitute for mulsum. After dinner we distributed small gifts (I give out my gifts in small baskets - sportulae). The sportulae contained some traditional gifts, like candles, and some less so (like small amounts of "money" - chocolate gelt). We used the chocolate coins for another traditional Saturnalia activity - gambling! We raced to complete a Saturnalia-themed wordsearch (which I won - Eugepae! - and thus added to my stock of chocolate coins!). Then we played a dice game (this time I lost - Eheu!). But a good time was had by all. Every time we did an activity, we had to draw from a bowl of paper slips upon which were printed Saturnalia-themed rhymes, and read them aloud to the family.
M. Hortensia Maior: I'm making Mulsum and honey cakes for my Latin class and friends. Another person is bringing "Synaulia" ancient Roman music CD's. We're meeting at a pizzeria so I think this is fun and not too much to do.
Mulsum Recipe: add 200 ML of honey to a bottle of white wine, chill and let the flavours marry for a few days. Then serve.
Damianus Lucianus Dexippus: Since the festival runs for seven days, I plan to do something wild on each day. Unfortunately I have to work, but I plan on spreading good cheer throughout the office by wearing loud clothes (well...more loud than usual) and a different Renaissance hat each day (have lots from the Ren Fairres). I usually feed my dog after I have had dinner...so during that week, little Artemis will receive her food first.
"Beyond the Inhabited World. Life beyond the Limes."
"War and Imperialism in Republican Rome."
"Soldier and Civilian in the Later Roman Empire."
Friends who came to my party brought not one, not two, but 3 Bacchuses!! Statues, that is. I also got a HUGE plaque of the Forum in relief, 62" x 40" as a gift.
Amethystia Iunia Crystallina: You'll have to forgive me, but this is really the first Saturnalia that I have either *cared* about or been allowed to do what I wanted for the Saturnalia. I am just so excited I am probably going to go nuts and share every minute.
Last night I got things ready for this first Saturnalia morning. I gave the house special attention in cleaning and went into the kids' (I think of it as 'their' room, even though Lapis will not be born until February and both of them will be sleeping with me, for a while anyway) playroom closet to pick out the gift Terry would get this morning. I decided on her dry-erase board and markers from me and the puzzle book my mother sent for her.
I put the board and the markers out, kept the puzzle book apart, so she wouldn't get overwhelmed and tried to sleep. Terry woke me at 8 with her usual happy talk and demands for juice. She got out of bed and drank and wandered into the living room, where she discovered her present. She drew on the board and herself (I showed her how to draw on the board, she showed herself the other). I brought out the puzzle book, and showed her how it worked. She is having the time of her little life, which is all the gift I could ever want!
We aren't rich, but I wanted *her* to feel rich, if only for one week.
Friday, the second day of Saturnalia, brought Terry her talking Winnie the Pooh book. She liked it so much I had to pack it in the diaper bag when we went to the senior center. I dressed her in winter white -- a pair of pants and a nice top all winter white with a sort of leafy pattern in gold on it. I put her hair in a pony tail and tied it with a scrap of golden material I made into a nice hair ribbon.
Out of 9 days, Terry receives presents on 8 (must be nice, huh?).
Q. Fabius Maximus: Tomorrow and Friday, Bandwagon Productions will be run by the assistants. Hopefully, we will lose no major deals because of this. However, my assistants love this holiday now. Monday I have a big meeting, so it's only for two days, this year. My partners think I am crazy.
Mia: We've decorated everything in red and gold, since we pretty much celebrate this as a strictly and directly solar holiday. We have a gold star at the top of our tree-wannabe, but we reason that the sun is, after all, a star, and it was a good $5 cheaper than the sunburst-style tree topper. It all seems to fit nicely into the Saturnalia theme too.
Damianus Lucianus Dexippus: As the Muse would have it, I was sitting around thinking of a way to acknowledge each of the days of the Saturnalia festival. Being of the modern age with our Pagan-unfriendly bosses making us work during this Festive Holiday and scrambling to buy gifts for both Pagan and non-Pagan friends and family, how can we take a few moments to honor each day of the Saturnalia, whether or not we plan festivities for the whole week?
Well...I came up with this. I went to the store after work and bought seven small candleholders. (The ones I bought are real seasonal. They are made of brass with little pine-cones, holly berries, and red ribbons tied around them). I also bought seven red candles. When I got home, I placed some pine branches (yes...left over from the Yule Log decorations) on my permanent altar where I do my meditations and prayers. Then I encircled the seven candle holders around the center of the altar.
Each day I plan to offer a prayer to Saturnus and Ops and light a candle for that day's festivities. It's kinda like a Pagan Menorah. At the end of the seven days, the Circle of Saturn will be completely ablaze.
Damianus Lucianus Dexippus: I went to one of the Tree Butcheries and asked for one of the trunks they may have cut off to size it for the picky families. It's a nice size log. So I brought it home and placed it on a bed of pine branches (also taken from the butchery). I adhered three candles to the log (one white, one red, and one green) to symbolize the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. I decorated the log and branches with red beads and lights.
This is my Yule Log. Without a fire place to burn it traditionally, I thought the candles made an acceptable Neo-Pagan adaption. I'm planning a small ritual on December 22 where I will light the candles to remind me of the Sun's rebirth (white candle) and the promise of new beginnings and hope in the new year, the fulfillment of oaths and deeds during the year (the red candle...symbolizing the Sun at its zenith), and the time of meditation and contemplation (the green candle ...symbolizing the Sun at its rest, its return to the underworld).
M. Minucius Audens: As I understand it, most of the Saturnalia decorations are very much up to you (and your pocketbook) and a logical outlook on the season. The Yule Log, the tree, ornanments and decorations that today's Christians use were brought from elsewhere and are acceptable (except maybe for the angel at the top of the tree). Candles and candle decorations with bright colors, ribbons or strips of brightly colored cloth hung in decorative shapes. Decorative hangings and festive table decorations were well thought of. Don't forget the family shrine or gods, offerings of cakes and wine should be made and the decorations here should also reflect your house decorations.
Candles in the windows are supposed to be a New England idea, but I suspect that a candle(s) in the portico were used as luminaria are used many places today. Home made dishs of flower petals and buds with lingering aroma, put a pan of apple juice / cider on the stove to heat gently and use apple pie spice in the juice to give the house a wonderful odor. (Falernian wine heavily spiced is veryyyyyy good too.) I'm sure a half dozen of Venator's "Fire Cherries" will make you think more clearly than ever before (but reserve time for a nap later).
The house should be warm, with warm blankets or comforters at convenient places, and should smell good and should reflect your own festive ideas. When things all come together. You will "feel" that it is right. I like "one color themes" where blue, or red or silver predominate in a window scene or the decoration of a door.
One prominent door in my house is the "Greeting Door" where all the greetiings of Saturnalia are placed. Little incense cones burning at the shrine or in small decorative dishes around the house help with good smells. Evergreen and bright berries like holly and mistletoe, as well as any plants or trees in your area that smells or looks good. Our laurel here in Connecticut stays green all year and can be made into a nice decoration. Colored paper cut into nice designs can be used.
Don't forget the cookies and sweetbreads either, and try to make time to bake something every day. Most important is the enjoyment. You must schedule a time for just sitting and enjoying your decorated place be it a castle or a cave or anything in between, You should be the one to enjoy your creation the most.

Sparks flew between Janella Salvador and Elmo Magalona during their first partnership in the ABS-CBN series Born For You, which led to the birth to ElNella.
The ElNella Saga: How it began and how it ended

With Janella Salvador's revelation that her onscreen partner Elmo Magalona had hurt her physically, fans are left shocked with the turn of events given how endearing their tandem was to them and onlookers.
After Janella became a breakout star from Be Careful With My Heart, and was given a subsequent lead stint on Oh My G!, she was paired in 2016 with GMA transferee Elmo, who was touted as a prized addition to the Kapamilya stable.
ElNella

Hence, that same year, their milestone teleserye Born For You was aired and launched their loveteam ElNella.
Their tandem was well-received and their fandom grew.
Not only did they show their obligated "sweetness" as a showbiz pair with much fervor in the kilig drama, but they actually seemed to continue their romance when the klieg lights were off as well.
And, when we see them together in TV appearances, live shows, and in the films they starred together—Bloody Crayons in 2017 and My Fairy Tail Love Story in 2018—we are captivated by their intimacy as a purported couple, although nothing substantial was confirmed.
"She (Janella) is not just a friend, she's more than a friend," Elmo declares on a Rated K Valentine's episode this year as a giddy Janella sits beside him, and the host Korina Sanchez apparently awash with kilig.
But the "paradise" wasn't what it seemed.
Jenine's rants
Janella's mom, veteran singer-actress Jenine Desiderio was all over Twitter as early as July 2017 showing her displeasure over her daughter's rebelliousness, with some followers getting some hints about her disapproval of Janella's off-cam relationship with Elmo.
And this was confirmed only a few months later, a few days after Christmas to be exact, when Jenine had pounced on a "gatecrasher" to their Yuletide family reunion, without naming anyone in her Facebook posts. Although fans were quick to conclude that she was referring to Elmo.
This clear disdain towards Elmo led to a very heated rift between mother and daughter that led to many quarrels and social media rants.
And while Janella and her mom's tumultuous gap worsened—the most recent of which was their bickering over an erring family driver whose tale against her mother's misgivings was what she believed more than what Jenine had to say—Janella's relationship with Elmo seemed to flourish as they had been "exclusively dating."
Cryptic tweet
Yet, on September 9, Janella posted a cryptic tweet saying, "I think everyone deserves someone who does not hurt them regardless if they're drunk or not." She added, "Men who are raised properly are never supposed to hurt women no matter what."
Followers urged Janella to reveal who she was referring to but she remained silent.
Since then, Janella had reconciled with her mom, who would then reveal in an Instagram post that the truth about a man physically harming a woman would come out, again without identifying anyone.
READ: Jenine Desiderio at Janella Salvador, nagkabati na
But on September 25, Jenine would again launch a Twitter tirade against personalities she would now name explicitly. She would lunge on an entertainment gossip site, asking, "How much did Pia Magalona pay you to publish a twisted cover-up story to clean-up her son's image?," referring to a blind item on a "young celebrity" who had suffered a bruise not because of her supposed partner intentionally harming her but because of unintentionally pulling her arm with so much force.
A brazen lie, she says, saying the truth will come out soon. With Jenine's tweet clearly showing that Elmo had hurt her daughter, only Janella's confirmation was needed.
And, exactly a month after this barrage of tweets, Janella did come out and reveal that Elmo had hit her not once, but twice.
She said in an exclusive interview with the Philippine Star, the first time Elmo hurt her was when he was drunk—an incident she said Elmo claimed he could not remember yet apologized just the same. She forgave him but told him never to repeat it and Elmo promised he wouldn't do it again.
Then came the second time—during the party of Janella's friend as they argued—an instance that became the last straw. Janella said she slapped him for "disrespecting" her.
According to her, she spoke up to "correct the lies being spread against me and my mom and to let the truth out," and not to "shame" our "put down" Elmo. "I focused on Elmo and myself," she said. "This time, I'm giving more attention to myself. He hurt me and I cannot, can never tolerate that."
As such, the promising love team that warmed our hearts with a major teleserye and two movies will now part ways.
In a separate interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Janella said, "We built something beautiful—our friendship, our relationship—but some beautiful things need to come to an end."

9 Steps Hospitals Can Take to Stop the Cycle of Violence
Determining the target population, planning interventions and measuring results are just some of the ways hospital leaders can approach this problem
Marty Stempniak
In its 2015 guide, "Hospital Approaches to Interrupt the Cycle of Violence," the American Hospital Association details a nine-step process that organizations can take to begin intervening.
Experts note that not every community will require a hospital-based, violence-intervention program. But it's important to take the first step by deciding whether you have a problem and beginning to discover its causes. Julia Resnick, a senior program manager with the AHA's Association for Community Health Improvement, says any hospital that wants to begin tackling population health should include questions about the prevalence of community violence.
Related: Hospitals Look to Intervene, Break the Cycle of Violence
"To keep people well and prevent illness and injury, then you have to think outside the four walls of the hospital and address the social determinants of health," she says. "As we continue along the population health path, communities need to consider how violence impacts health — and not just gang violence or street violence, but also interpersonal violence that might not be so readily apparent. Exploring the types of violence a community experiences can help them understand the root causes of the violence and take steps to prevent it."
See the American Hospital Association's latest news and resources on combating violence.
These are the nine steps to follow:
Define the problem.
Pinpoint risk and resilience factors.
Identify community partners.
Prioritize needs.
Determine the target population.
Identify resources.
Assess the hospital's role.
Plan interventions.
Measure results.

At the Textile Museum in Washington, D.C. the color of the season is green. As in moss, money, Ireland, Al Gore, envy and ecology. NPR special correspondent Susan Stamberg says the new exhibition touches on much of that list. It's called "Green: The Color, and the Cause."
SUSAN STAMBERG: In New Jersey, artist Nancy Cohen went looking for the intersections between green, the cause, and water.
Ms. NANCY COHEN (Artist): I spent some time meeting with marine biologists and environmentalists and kind of traveling the river, hiking, taking boat rides.
STAMBERG: She was on the Mullica River, near Atlantic City.
Ms. COHEN: The water is a brownish color because cedar trees leech into the water. And even though the water's clean it has a kind of tea color. And as the river progresses and moves toward the ocean it becomes bluer and bluer.
STAMBERG: Nancy Cohen translated what she saw into a sculptural installation that runs maybe 35 feet along two walls of the Textile Museum - pieces of handmade paper attached to wire frames in varied shapes that spill down the walls and onto the floor like water itself, fragile and strong. And, at the same time, green.
Mr. KEN NORDINE (Voiceover/Recording Artist): As an intellectual vibration, smack dab in the middle of spectrum, green can be a problem.
STAMBERG: Chicago vocal artist Ken Nordine cited problems like stupidity, envy. But back in the days before synthetic dyes, green posed problems as a color.
Mr. TALBOT: It takes a master dyer to get a really great green.
STAMBERG: If you think about it, after blue - the water, the sky - green is probably the color we most see in nature. But Curator Lee Talbot says there's not a single plant that creates a really stable green dye. So the old masters had to get indigo and yellow from plants and mix them together. Trouble was yellow faded easily.
Mr. TALBOT: So for thousands of years, green was one of the most elusive colors in the spectrum for dyers.
STAMBERG: Green, the problematic color. And green, the cause, designed to address problems like the degradation of nature and waste.
Recycling is a big theme for the artists in this Textile Museum show. In a piece called "A Woman of Substance," Jackie Abrams recycles strips of worn out silk blouses into coils, and twists them into a sculpted basket.
Curator Rebecca Stevens says William Knight took old tires, shredded them, and shaped them into a wall hanging. Knight found the tires along a turnpike.
Ms. REBECCA STEVENS (Curator, Textile Museum): He lives in New Jersey.
STAMBERG: It looks like a traffic snarl. It looks like the worst snarl you'd ever get in your hair.
Ms. STEVENS: But it's interesting because although it looks sort of random, it's very carefully thought out. He sees these as line drawing. And the fact that he could find a use, a new use, for this discarded material was very exciting to him.
STAMBERG: Artist Jodi Collella asked friends and family to save those plastic bags used to deliver newspapers.
STAMBERG: Into a kind of squiggly thread and then crocheted them into a half-dome that clings to a gallery wall, like a shield. Not beautiful, exactly. But certainly thought-provoking about all the things it means to be green. A cause, a color that even makes frogs burst into song.
STAMBERG: In her 1962 book "Silent Spring," the great American environmentalist Rachel Carson wrote of Earth's green mantle, that tangle of plants that sustain life as we have known it.
This spring, the show of green at the Textile Museum salutes the Earth and respects it artistically.

Welcome to Nilo Burke Photography. My name is Nilo, and I am pleased to welcome you to my site. Please stay a little while longer and take a look around. I would love to learn about you and your upcoming special event so that I can understand your vision and, hopefully, capture it for you.
Photographers! - Outsource your editing and let me help you save time and headaches!
Welcome to my new weekly post about lessons I am learning on a regular basis from Brooke Castillo of The Life Coach School. Her teachings have changed my life dramatically in the last year, and I see no end in sight for it. I tell people I am a different person today than I was a year ago, and that is 100% true! Although I have a long way to go (who doesn't!), I have learned a tremendous amount that I would like to share with you. These life lessons should be taught in school. I would pay for an entirely second Master's program to learn all of this in depth. In fact, the lessons I am learning from Brooke are more valuable than any degree I could ever hope to earn.
Brooke releases a new podcast episode every Thursday and has been doing so since 2014. What I hope to do with this blog series is to share with you what I am learning from her current and have learned from her past podcasts. I encourage you to download her podcast from iTunes called The Life Coach School and just take a listen to a handful of her excellent episodes. I promise you that you will be hocked!
Have no expectations of anyone.
This is a big one for me. I have learned, especially in the last year or so, to have no expectations of anyone. This may sound bizarre or negative, but it is actually very freeing. When you don't expect anything from anyone, you do not make others responsible for how you feel (which is a whole other can of worms). When we expect things from others, we are imposing upon them our worldview. We are holding them responsible for how we thing they should act and show up in the world. This is a tremendous burden, not only for us to carry around but to thrust upon the other person. We expect others to be polite, kind, thoughtful, responsible, on-time to a meeting with us, and so much more. In theory these things don't sound bad, but in reality we are thrusting our way of life (or what we think is the appropriate way to behave in this world) on another adult. And most adults do not meet our expectations. Once they fail to live up to our standards, we hold them responsible and make them out to be the "bad guys". All of a sudden, we've created a manual for the people in our lives that we throw at them every chance we get. List to Brooke's podcast episode # 11-The Manual-to learn from the master herself and truly grasp this idea of have no expectations of others. Of course there is a lot more that goes into that. We can create boundaries around people who choose not to be polite to us or who are unkind to us. We do not have to accept those behavior traits, but the general idea I want to convey here is—do not expect anything of anyone and you will never be disappointed.
Please take a moment to listen to Brooke's life changing podcast. It's Free! Please share with me your thoughts about this blog series and share with me if you've ever heard of Brooke or your thoughts on my biggest take-away from her podcast mentioned in this blog.

Emergence of Informal Groups of States

This chapter examines the question of what triggered the emergence of informal groups of states in the form of the advisory committees in the 1950s, and argues that their establishment has to be seen against the background of great power tensions in the Security Council. The early stages of UN peacekeeping saw a shift of governance from the Security Council to the Secretary-General and the General Assembly, which fostered the emergence of informal ad hoc groupings of states. The formation of advisory committees reflected the desire of the Secretary-General to strengthen his voice vis-á-vis the Security Council. When the lack of unanimity of the permanent members prevented the Council from assuming its responsibilities, the General Assembly took charge by recommending collective measures. However, when the Security Council was able to act, its resolutions and mandates entrusted to the Secretary-General often reflected a political compromise based on the lowest common denominator among its members. The workings of the two advisory committees established in the context of crises at the Suez Canal (1956-67) and in the Congo (1960-4) illustrate these points further.Less

This chapter explores the constitutional source of 'inherent powers'. Firstly it analyzes what is meant by express, implied, and emergency powers. Then it examines closely the 1936 Supreme Court case, Curtiss-Wright, that is most often cited for supporting inherent and extra-constitutional powers for the president. The chapter then moves to discussing the use of inherent powers by President Harry Truman in 1952 to seize steel mills to prosecute the war in Korea, and the reliance on inherent powers by President George W. Bush to accomplish a range of war-related actions. Truman's initiative was repudiated by the Supreme Court in the Youngstown case, but the legal and political limits of Bush's actions are still being played out.Less

This chapter tackles the question of why soldiers, allegedly, are legitimate targets and civilians not. Four approaches to the explanation of the difference are discussed: the moral guilt theory, the convention theory, the self-defence theory, and the justifying emergency theory. All these approaches have a valid moral principle at heart, but are nevertheless misleading in that they raise their respective principle to the status of the absolute. The chapter outlines how a comparative weighting of the principles can proceed if applied to concrete cases. The resulting approach does not square the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate targets with the distinction between soldiers and civilians; this has extremely important consequences for the conduct of war.Less

Palliative Care in the Home

Most people with far-advanced illness wish to be cared for at home for as long as possible. The challenge of providing good palliative care at home is therefore of major importance for family doctors, nurses, and all those committed to maintaining the highest possible quality of life for the dying person. As modern specialist palliative care has raised both standards of care and also public expectations of family doctors and community nurses, this book helps to place specialist care in context. As palliative care is a major responsibility for teams providing care at home, the book provides a definitive guide on how to provide effective care for people with far-advanced disease. It has been written by two palliative specialists, both of whom have been family doctors. The book deals with all the physical, emotional, spiritual, and social problems that will be encountered by family doctors and community nurses caring for patients and relatives in a home setting. It deals in detail with emergencies, communications, and ethical issues, and emphasises throughout the importance of team work.Less

This concluding chapter assesses the debate over humanitarian intervention in the light of the events of September 11, 2001. On the one hand, it can be argued that 9/11 has reversed the momentum behind the norm of 'sovereignty as responsibility'. In the course of waging the war on terrorism, the powers of sovereign states have been increased and the willingness of Western states to criticize the treatment of civilians within other sovereign jurisdictions appears to have weakened. On the other, there are three reasons why humanitarian intervention – and the issues associated with it – will continue to preoccupy scholars and statesmen in a post-September 11th world. First, the terrorist attacks of 2001 have reinforced the view that instability within or collapse of a state anywhere in the world can have implications that reach far wider than that particular region. Second, the debate about what constraints should be placed on the use of force – particularly those related to proper authority – are as relevant for the 'war on terror' as they are for humanitarian intervention. Finally, as the missions in Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003 have shown, humanitarian rationale are all-important in justifying the use of force in international society, even when other motives are at work.Less

Normally, in a first past the post‐electoral system in which majority single‐party government is the rule, the sovereign has no choice as to who to call to the Palace. But, in cases of emergency—war or economic crisis, as in 1931—the sovereign may enjoy discretion. In such circumstances, it may be necessary to create a coalition government, as in 1915, 1916, 1931, or 1940, and the sovereign's role may then be crucial. The danger is that, in using his or her discretion, the sovereign's actions may appear partisan, and the sovereign's actions will then be labelled `unconstitutional'.Less

As evidenced in US government responses to humanitarian emergencies over the past decade, humanitarian considerations are often not taken into account sufficiently in military and political planning processes. Kosovo was a prime example. The status quo is not an optimal basis for promoting US humanitarian interests. Bureaucratic turf wars and a long‐standing debate between the developed and developing countries on questions of intervention and national sovereignty have politicized and slowed effective humanitarian action, causing donor countries to turn away from formal multi‐lateral structures. To more effectively discharge US government functions in the humanitarian field and to more effectively coordinate policy, a new separate civilian agency —an Agency for Humanitarian Action (AHA)—is proposed.Less

UNHCR was created with a mandate for refugee protection and to provide solutions to refugee problems, but with practically no funds with which to carry out these functions. Despite the inauspicious beginnings of the UNHCR and the opposition of the US and the Soviet Union in the early Cold War period, the first High Commissioner, Gerrit Jan van Heuven Goedhart, convinced the major powers that their interests in political stability in Europe converged with those of the UNHCR. By gradually enlarging the scope of his office, by obtaining the capacity for independent fund raising through the UN Refugee Emergency Fund and by assuming material assistance responsibilities, the High Commissioner paved the way for the UNHCR to become the centrepiece of the emerging international refugee regime.Less

This chapter examines those conditions under which mothers who were so weakly tied that no theorist would expect them to provide social support often provided such support anyway. It finds that centers both intentionally and unintentionally facilitated trust among parents and instituted obligations that the latter felt compelled to follow. These conditions at times generated a supportive network of acquaintances that mothers could call upon. This network, however, was only useful or important among mothers who were highly isolated or otherwise resource‐deprived.Less

Overcoming Necessity: Emergency, Constraint, and the Meanings of American Constitutionalism

Using emergency as a cause for action ultimately leads to an almost unnoticed evolution in the political understanding of presidential powers. The Constitution of the United States, however, was designed to function under "states of exception," most notably through the separation of powers, and provides ample internal checks on emergency actions taken under claims of necessity. This book urges the United States Congress, the courts, and other bodies to put those checks into practice. The book analyzes the constitutional norms that fail to guide and constrain the choice of action through an analysis of what is appropriate. It explores how constitutional norms always apply as unavoidably normative constitutional questions during an emergency. It explains how necessity can produce dictatorship, because the people are willing to allow whatever it takes to solve their immediate needs, and it looks into the theory that a president might suspend the constitutional order in order to post hoc political accountability. It then talks about necessity that enables presidential discretion, and responds to arguments regarding the president having all the power that necessity confers. The book considers the scope of implied presidential power, arguing that even if there is power to do what is necessary, it is still constrained by conceptions of what is proper. It emphasizes how deference to the president is inconsistent with a constitutional tradition that preciously guards decisions about liberty. The book concludes with a review of the commitment to constitutional values as a constitutive feature of political identity in American constitutionalism.Less

In the wake of disaster, emergency service workers including police officers, firefighters, and paramedics are first on the scene and last to leave. Their heroic actions save lives, provide comfort to and care for the wounded, and inspire onlookers, but at what cost to themselves? We now know that rescue workers who are exposed to mutilated bodies, mass destruction, multiple casualties, and life threatening situations may become the hidden victims of disaster. The sequelea in terms of traumatic stress symptoms and depressive symptoms has the potential to be highly disruptive and long-standing for both the individual worker and their families, and the organizations in which they work. Additionally, emergency workers are exposed to events involving human pain and suffering on a daily basis. While for the most part emergency workers are equipped to deal with these events, on occasion one particular event will have a lasting impact. This book is based on the authors' combined experience of over forty years of clinical work in emergency departments and with emergency service organizations. It provides an overview of the issue of trauma in the emergency services.Less

This book tells the story of Disaster Action, a small charity founded in 1991 by survivors and bereaved people from the disasters of the late 1980s, including Zeebrugge, King's Cross, Clapham, Lockerbie, Hillsborough and the Marchioness. The aims were to create a health and safety culture in which disasters were less likely to occur and to support others affected by similar events. The founders could not have anticipated the degree to which they would influence emergency planning and management and the way people are treated after disasters. Aware of the value of lessons learned over 22 years, the trustees felt that this corporate memory should be captured. The book encapsulates that memory, so that it can be called upon by survivors, the bereaved, governments and others for years to come. The book sets out the chronology of Disaster Action's history, with first-person accounts and case studies of disasters interweaved with chapters on the needs and rights of individuals, the treatment of bereaved and survivors, inquests and inquiries, the law, the media, memorials and commemorations, and the importance of corporate memory. Additionally, it contains guidance notes for survivors and bereaved on dealing with a disaster, and best practice guidance for responders and the media. This book is essential reading for those in a wide range of disciplines with an interest in planning for, responding to, reporting on and dealing with the aftermath of disaster. And importantly, people affected by disaster should find solace and support in the personal stories of others.Less

The jurisprudence of investment tribunals in cases brought against Argentina in the context of the country's 2001/02 economic crisis show the potential and limits of the necessity defence as codified in Article 25 of the ILC Articles on State Responsibility in situations of economic emergency. This chapter examines the emergency regimes of national legal systems for additional insights that might assist in more closely delineating a State's emergency powers in times of (economic) crisis; more particularly concerning the conditions governing the adoption of emergency measures and the consequences thereof. This is done with reference to four representative legal systems — two from common law jurisdictions and two from those under civil law: the British, French, German, and US systems.Less

The President's Emergency Program for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has significantly transformed the global health landscape by injecting $15 billion into HIV/AIDS care and treatment programs in twenty countries between 2004–2010. In Mozambique, PEPFAR funds constituted nearly 60 percent of all health sector planned spending by 2008. While debates about PEPFAR's restrictions on condom promotion, sex worker education programs, and abortion/reproductive health have dominated critiques of the program, perhaps the single most important aspect of PEPFAR's rollout has largely escaped scrutiny in the wider global discussion: PEPFAR funding, by design, does not directly flow through the public sector. This chapter draws on the author's firsthand experience in Mozambique to describe the tension, conflict, and potentials created by new major aid flows to Africa.Less

The contemporary political imagination and social landscape are saturated by the idea of security and thoughts of insecurity. This saturation has been accompanied by the emergence of a minor industry generating ideas about how to define and redefine security, how to defend and improve it, how to widen and deepen it, how to civilise and democratise it. This book takes an entirely different approach and offers the first fully-fledged critique of security. Challenging the common assumption that treats security as an unquestionable good, Neocleous explores the ways in which security has been deployed towards a vision of social order in which state power and liberal subjectivity have been inscribed into human experience. Treating security as a political technology of liberal order-building, engaging with the work of a wide range of thinkers, and ranging provocatively across security studies and international political economy; history, law and political theory; international relations and historical sociology, Neocleous explores the ways in which individuals, classes and the state have been shaped and ordered according to a logic of security. In so doing he uncovers the violence which underlies the politics of security, the ideological circuit between security and emergency powers, and the security fetishism dominating modern politics.Less

This book is about everyday heroism. It is about the work that emergency responders do and the traumatic situations that they face when serving the public. It looks at factors at multiple levels that make these jobs and the impact that they have on individuals and their families more or less difficult. The purpose is to show that it is not one event alone that causes trauma in people working in the emergency services. Rather, trauma is the result of the interplay between an event, the person encountering the event, the public and media response to the event, the organization in which responders work, and the supports and life that they have outside the workplace. In the end, the book provides suggestions for intervention that take into account these multiple levels of influence.Less

Examining questions of jus in bello, this chapter begins by applying the principles of proportionality and discrimination to the invasion of Iraq. The analysis then focuses on the Bush administration's justifications for the treatment of 'non‐lawful combatants' at Guantanamo Bay. Using the logic of 'supreme emergency', alleged terrorists were stripped of Geneva Convention protections because the defensive just cause was presented as unusually urgent and the stakes were said to be civilizational. First‐order principles such as the prohibition against torture were qualified by the emergency of the jus ad bellum, thus rendering supposedly absolute human rights contingent upon the state of the world. The Bush administration's 'choice of evils' strategy was critiqued by other lawyers, governments, and human rights groups worldwide, as well as by members of the Bush administration's Department of State.Less

Constitutional morality is important for constitutional laws to be effective. Without constitutional morality, the operation of a constitution tends to become arbitrary, erratic, and capricious. This chapter discusses constitutional morality in India, makes a distinction between 'constitutional democracy' and 'populist democracy', and argues that democracy has survived in India by moving away from the ideal of a constitutional democracy towards a more populist form. It looks at the Emergency of 1975–7 to show the connection between anarchy and the abuse of power as two forces that are both antithetical to constitutional morality. It also examines the link between constitutional morality and the principle of civil disobedience, which under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi became the cornerstone of India's nationalist movement.Less

This chapter argues how the problems of continuity and identity, declared unsolved by Raz, are fundamentally altered. The old conceptions of the problems are thoroughly state-, official-, system-, and hierarchy-based, and as such are of limited value in facing both old and new challenges to explanation of the existence and borders of legality. A new way of understanding these old problems is proposed, re-characterizing them in terms more suited to the goals of general jurisprudence in facing a much broader range of phenomena than before. The chapter also identifies some of the next challenges an inter-institutional view faces.Less

The District of Columbia Court of Appeals affirmed summary judgment in favor of the defendants in a medical malpractice lawsuit. The court based its decision in Atiba v. Washington Hospital Center, et al on a missed deadline under both DC's statute of limitations and notice requirements for medical malpractice claims. The issue before the court concerned an alleged conflict between the deadline to file suit under the statute of limitations and the time period in which notice must be given.
The plaintiff, Kwaco Atiba, sought medical treatment from the defendants, Michelle Grant-Ervin, M.D. and Washington Hospital Center, between October 27 and November 2, 2006. Washington DC law requires a plaintiff to give "not less than" ninety days' notice to a defendant before filing a medical malpractice suit. It also imposes a three-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, including medical malpractice. In the event that the required notice is given within the ninety-day period immediately prior to the running of the statute of limitations, the time to file suit is extended ninety days from the date the notice is served. Atiba served notice of the intended suit on the defendants on October 27, 2009, and filed suit on January 26, 2010. The filing date of the lawsuit was the ninety-first day after the date the notice was served.
The hospital moved for summary judgment, alleging that the plaintiff failed to file within the statute of limitations, and the trial court granted the motion. The trial court ruled that the ninety-first day after service of the required notice was "one day too late." The plaintiff argued on appeal that the notice requirement and the statute of limitations conflicted, making it impossible to provide "not less than" ninety days' notice and file suit within the ninety-day extended limitations period. The plaintiff interpreted the notice requirement as only permitting suit after ninety days had passed.
The Court of Appeals reviewed both statutes in turn. It found no leeway in the statute of limitations, which requires commencement of suit within three years. It also found that the provision of the notice requirement extending the limitations period by ninety days was "utterly clear in its operation." Regarding the notice requirement, the court addressed the "clear day" issue, which asks whether ninety "clear days" must pass before a plaintiff can file suit, or whether filing is permitted on the ninetieth day. The court held that requiring ninety "clear days" in this situation would create an "absurd outcome," because it would render the ninety-day extension provision meaningless. It cited its own precedent in which it held that a statute or rule should only be construed to require "clear days" if the statute or rule specifically states an intention to do so. The laws in question in this case did not state such an intention, so it affirmed the summary judgment ruling.
