A college basketball player stepped on the court for the first time in his career after almost five years of recovery from a car crash that gave him a traumatic brain injury and put him in a coma for several weeks.Josh Speidel, a 23-year-old senior at the University of Vermont, scored two points in Tuesday night's game between the Catamounts and the University at Albany Great Danes.It was a prearranged moment set up by the coaches of each team."UAlbany scored the first basket and then it was Josh's moment to shine," Ryan Manley, athletic communications assistant at University of Vermont, told CNN.In February 2015, Josh was in a car accident in his hometown of Columbus, Indiana, that put him in a six-week coma, according to Josh's mom, Lisa Speidel. Josh's car was t-boned after he pulled out in front of a car that was going 55 mph, Lisa said. Once the other car came in contact with Josh's, he spun counter-clockwise across five lanes of traffic. It took authorities 40 minutes to cut Josh out of his car.Related video: Student with one leg defies odds, plays on basketball team'We were not given much hope at all'Doctors told Josh's parents that their son would be in a vegetative state and would need 24/7 care for the rest of his life, according to Lisa.She said his Glasglow Coma Scale rating, a scoring system used to determine the level of consciousness in a person following a traumatic brain injury, was at a 4.

"It was just the two of them. I was standing outside the door and he was holding Josh's hand and he said, 'Josh, you're a Catamount. You're a part of us.'"Lisa said Becker told her and her husband David that whenever their son was ready to come back and play, they will be ready to welcome him."We weren't sure that Josh was ready (to go back) and I'm not sure that we would have sent him when we did, but John (Coach Becker) reached out to us and said, 'Let's get him up here and see what he can do,'" David told CNN.Becker told CNN he feels that the school and the program "fulfilled our commitment to him."In 2016, while other students his age started their freshman year, Josh stayed at home and continued his recovery. In 2017, he started school."It's been a whirlwind," Josh said. "They don't lie when they say that college goes by in the blink of an eye."He still isn't cleared by doctors to return to full-contact sports, but Josh said his recovery and his comeback is all a testament to his parents and his support system."Rehab was tough, I don't wanna put it lightly," he said. "It was a tough battle but I'm thankful for the people I've had by my side throughout this journey."'Losing is not an option'Thanks to a lot of hope and prayer, they were able to witness him back on the court Tuesday night for the first time in five years.For Lisa and David, seeing Josh on the court meant so much."Tuesday night was special from start to finish," Becker said. "I want to thank everyone involved for making it happen, especially Will Brown, the head coach of UAlbany. Thank you to our fans for making it an unbelievable environment, which made it special for everyone on the court."Lisa wears a Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness necklace that says 'losing is not an option' and that's how the family has chosen to believe.If Josh's story can encourage one person to not give up hope no matter their situation, Lisa said that's all they want."If he can come this far in five years, where can he be in 10 years?" she said. "As long as you don't give up and you don't stop."Josh said after graduating from University of Vermont's College of Education, he knows he wants to do something that combines his love of sports and coaching children.When asked what Tuesday's experience meant to him, Josh said what he accomplished hasn't really hit him yet."There are so many words I want to say but ... thank you," he said. "I know the story is about me, but it's really about all the help I've gotten along the way."The Catamounts defeated the Great Danes 85-62, making Tuesday's game even more memorable."Hopefully we take care of business and we go to March Madness," Josh said.

A childhood dream to play college ball
Josh said he had just committed to play collegiate basketball with the Catamounts six months prior to his accident in August 2015.
A few days after Josh's accident, Coach John Becker made the trek from Vermont to Indiana to see him, according to Lisa.
That's where Josh's head coach honored his scholarship anyway.

Flag of Afghanistan
Afghanistan (Pashto/Dari: افغانستان, Pashto: Afġānistān, Dari: Afġānestān ), officially the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, is a landlocked country located in South-Central Asia. Afghanistan is bordered by Pakistan in the south and east; Iran in the west; Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan in the north; and in the far northeast, China. Its territory covers 652,000 km2 and much of it is covered by the Hindu Kush mountain range, which experiences very cold winters. The north consists of fertile plains, while the south-west consists of deserts where temperatures can get very hot in summers. Kabul serves as the capital and its largest city.
Human habitation in Afghanistan dates back to the Middle Paleolithic Era, and the country's strategic location along the Silk Road connected it to the cultures of the Middle East and other parts of Asia. The land has historically been home to various peoples and has witnessed numerous military campaigns, including those by Alexander the Great, Mauryas, Muslim Arabs, Mongols, British, Soviets, and since 2001 by the United States with NATO-allied countries. It has been called "unconquerable" and nicknamed the "graveyard of empires". The land also served as the source from which the Kushans, Hephthalites, Samanids, Saffarids, Ghaznavids, Ghorids, Khaljis, Mughals, Hotaks, Durranis, and others have risen to form major empires.

"Throughout his career, Robert Downey Jr. has mesmerized audiences by capturing the humanity in larger-than-life characters like Charlie Chaplin, Sherlock Holmes and Tony Stark."
And let's not forget RDJ's roles in The Judge, Zodiac, The Soloist, and so, so many more incredible films. He overcame addiction and came back better than ever, and he barely seems like he's missed a beat. RDJ has made a lasting impression on Hollywood and his audience, and this award is just a small token of our appreciation.
This award frequently leads to funny and inspirational speeches, and RDJ was no exception. After Avengers costars Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, and Jeremy Renner gave their presentation speech, RDJ appeared on stage, dancing like the glorious guy he is. The Avengers all proceeded to take a knee while he spoke, because when RDJ speaks, you treat him with some full-on R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
RDJ went on to show us his classic sense of humor, be classy and gracious ("If a man is judged for the company he keeps, then I must be doing something right," referring to his merry band of insanely attractive and heroic presenters), and inspire the entire audience ("Dream big, work hard, keep your nose clean, be of service, and, yes, because you can, define your generation"), who might have juuuuust a touch too young to understand the gravity of his nose joke. Still, it's inspirational as ever.
Needless to say, receiving the MTV Generation Award is a seriously huge honor — it's not just another popcorn bucket for RDJ to put on his mantle. This award represents his hard work and serves as a symbol of just how awesome he is. He's in good company, too — previous recipients of the award include Johnny Depp, Reese Witherspoon, Ben Stiller, Sandra Bullock, and Tom Cruise. After seriously turning his life around, it's great to see RDJ receiving such a prestigious award — he truly has defined his generation in a way that no one else could.
May his snark and blue sunglasses inspire us all for years to come.


The case for a Republican majority in the state House.
Two years ago, Minnesotans entrusted Republicans with the House, asking us to work together with DFL Gov. Mark Dayton for his final two years in office.
While the media likes to report on the conflict and drama, it is important to look at the results we were able to secure for Minnesota families on important issues like health care, taxes, transportation, education and more.
Just a few years ago, the individual health care market was in shambles. For Minnesotans who buy insurance on their own, rates were skyrocketing by 60 percent or more, and many people were losing their plans.
Instead of pointing fingers, we House Republicans rolled up our sleeves and got to work. In the opening weeks of session, we passed emergency premium relief to help the families stuck with massive premium hikes. And we didn't stop there.
Over the next few months, House Republicans passed bipartisan reforms that have helped revive the individual insurance market and put it on stable footing.
Our health care reforms are working. For the first time in recent memory, premium costs for individual market plans are dropping — in some cases by double digits. Insurers are returning to the marketplace, and families have more health plans to choose from. We know that our work isn't done and that plenty of Minnesotans still face challenges with health care costs — but we're the only ones on the ballot this November who have implemented solutions that actually work.
Democrats are pushing a much different approach to health care — one that involves billions of dollars in tax increases on families, government control, and the end of Medicare for seniors and employer-sponsored plans that millions of Minnesotans rely on.
These are the same Democrats who promised $500 savings on health insurance premiums, then turned around and wasted $300 million of your hard-earned tax dollars on a MNsure website and gave thousands of dollars in taxpayer-funded bonuses to MNsure executives while the site crashed and Minnesotans saw their costs skyrocketing or their plans eliminated.
There's also a very clear choice to make when it comes to taxes and spending. House Republicans helped pass the largest tax cut in nearly two decades, putting more money in the pockets of seniors with Social Security income, middle-class families, college graduates with student loan debt, farmers, and Main Street businesses. And by prioritizing spending, we increased our budget for schools by $1.3 billion and made a historic investment in roads and bridges.
Democrats insisted that tax cuts would be catastrophic for our state budget. However, as a result of our changes, revenue continues to grow and Minnesota is on track to have a major surplus that we hope will set the stage for additional tax relief next session. More important, wages are rising, jobs are being created and unemployment is at near-record lows.
While Republicans are fighting to lower taxes and rein in wasteful spending, Democrats have made crystal-clear that they'll raise your taxes if they're elected. Across the state, Democrats are campaigning on tax increases on visits to the doctor, gasoline and more.
Despite Minnesota's budget surplus, Democrats can hardly wait to take more money from Minnesota families to fuel another wasteful spending spree. The contrast between the two visions for Minnesota could not be starker.
Ultimately, it comes down to whom you trust. When Democrats had complete control of state government, they made promises they didn't keep. This election cycle, Democrats have sent direct mail into your homes that WCCO-TV called "deliberately deceptive" and "not true," while KSTP-TV called their claims "false." We cannot trust Democrats with complete control of state government again.
You've trusted House Republicans with the House majority for the past four years, and we've been laser-focused on your priorities — lower health care costs, smart investments in roads and schools, reined-in spending and tax relief. Under shared government, we have a proven record of working together to get results. On Tuesday, Nov. 6, House Republicans would be honored to earn your vote.
Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, is speaker of the Minnesota House.

Q: Firebase not storing correct value selected in UIPickerView I'm having trouble with my UIPickerView. My code currently takes the row selected by the picker and stores it in Firebase. However, I've noticed that the values recorded into Firebase are different than those selected in the picker view in my app simulator. More specifically, the value will always be one that is several rows above or below what I intended in the picker view. My code is as follows:
import UIKit
import Firebase
import FirebaseAuth

class DormViewController: UIViewController, UIPickerViewDelegate,     UIPickerViewDataSource {

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    ref = Database.database().reference()

    dormName.tag = 0
    entryway.tag = 1
    roomNumber.tag = 2

    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}

func numberOfComponents(in pickerView: UIPickerView) -> Int {
    return 1
}

func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, titleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> String? {
    if pickerView.tag == 0 {
        dorm = dorms[row]
        return dorm
    }
    else if pickerView.tag == 1 {
        entry = entrances[row]
        return entry
    }
    else {
        num = rooms[row]
        return num
    }
}

func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, numberOfRowsInComponent component: Int) -> Int {
    if pickerView.tag == 0 {
        return dorms.count
    }
    else if pickerView.tag == 1 {
        return entrances.count
    }
    else {
        return rooms.count
    }
}

@IBAction func nextButton(_ sender: Any) {
    let user = Auth.auth().currentUser
    if user != nil {
        self.ref.child("Users").child((user?.uid)!).updateChildValues(["Location": dorm + " " + entry + "-" + num])
        performSegue(withIdentifier: "tohomepage", sender: self)
    }
    else {
        print("error")
    }
}

}
For instance, if I intended to select Adams A-3, Firebase may register my selection as Cabot D-7. Here's a screenshot of my storyboard for clarification:

And a screenshot of my Firebase:

Compassionate Care Act of 2015 in Texas Discriminates Against Veterans
March 27, 2016 by Good Acts
On June 1, 2015 the Compassionate Care Act of 2015 was signed into effect by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. This Act states the following:
CHAPTER 169. AUTHORITY TO PRESCRIBE LOW-THC CANNABIS TO CERTAIN
PATIENTS FOR COMPASSIONATE USE
Sec. 169.001. DEFINITIONS. In this chapter:
(1) "Department" means the Department of Public
Safety.
(2) "Intractable epilepsy" means a seizure disorder in
which the patient's seizures have been treated by two or more
appropriately chosen and maximally titrated antiepileptic drugs
that have failed to control the seizures.
(3)"Low-THC cannabis" means the plant Cannabis sativa
L., and any part of that plant or any compound, manufacture, salt,
derivative, mixture, preparation, resin, or oil of that plant that
(A) not more than 0.5 percent by weight of
tetrahydrocannabinols; and
(B)not less than 10 percent by weight of
cannabidiol.
(4)"Medical use" means the ingestion by a means of
administration other than by smoking of a prescribed amount of
low-THC cannabis by a person for whom low-THC cannabis is
prescribed under this chapter.
(5) "Smoking" means burning or igniting a substance
and inhaling the smoke.
This Act is rare in it's wording due to 2 words: prescription (rather than medical recommendation wording used in other states) and Intractable epilepsy which is the only condition one can have that will qualify someone for this "prescription."
Greg Abbott is a paraplegic and uses a wheel chair to aid in his mobility.
At age 26, Abbott was partially paralyzed in a freak accident and bedridden for a month. His dream to practice law withered. – Accident set Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott on a path toward politics
As someone with daily limitations to his movement, one would imagine that his empathetic abilities towards others with disabilities would be higher than most other politicians. However this "Compassionate Care Act" DOES NOT include the "disabilities" of most Veterans which can include, but are not limited to the following:
Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's
Glutamate toxicity
Neurodegeneration caused by alcohol abuse
Central and peripheral neuropathic pain
….randomized clinical trial reporting clinical improvement in patients with schizophrenia treated with CBD.
CBD reduced anxiety in patients with social anxiety subjected to a stressful public speaking task.
CBD reduced the rewarding effects of morphine…..
……there are also several pre-clinical reports showing anti-tumor effects of CBD in cell culture and in animal models.xxviii These studies have found reduced cell viability, increased cancer cell death, decreased tumor growth, and inhibition of metastasis (reviewed in McAllister et al, 2015).xxix These effects may be due to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of CBD;xxx however these findings have not yet been explored in human patients. – The Biology and Potential Therapeutic Effects of Cannabidiol (National Institute on Drug Abuse)

What the above information spells out is that a Governor with disabilities has constructed a Bill that became law which DISCRIMINATES against every Veteran who suffers from (*to include but not limited to) the above mentioned symptoms, thus violating The Americans with Disabilities Act title II, subtitle A, of the ADA which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in all services, programs, and activities provided to the public by State and local governments, except public transportation services.
Please go online to the ADA website and file a formal complaint against any bill in your state that also discriminates against your disabilities as a Veteran.

Power, Violence, Law
by Antiphon • 5 April 2009
Over the last two hundred years, the theory of right, now known as normative jurisprudence, has discovered its vocation in a frantic attempt to legitimise the exercise of power. It carries out this task by declaring that law and power are external to each other ontologically, politically, morally, the two are involved in a zero-sum game. In this story, law limits and humanises the exercise of power which finds its true nature when it follows the procedures and respects the values of law. The more rights people have, the less power there is; the more law-abiding power is the more civilised and acceptable its operation. Orthodox jurisprudence sees sovereignty and morality, politics and law, decision and norm as opposite poles of a dialectic the object of which is the relationship between subjects and the sovereign. Their respective weight determines the theoretical direction from Austin to Kelsen and from Schmitt to Dworkin. They all repeat in a different fashion and with different emphasis the belief in the opposition of law and power. These theories are cognitively wrong and morally impoverished. We see both daily. The former in the proliferation of theories of 'indispensable' values and 'fundamental' norms which remain abstract, vague and malleable to the ideological and aesthetic predilections of politicians and lawyers. The latter in the moral decline of the judicial function which can use the moralistic subterfuges one learns in the Law Schools to justify all types of injustice.
Critical theory informed by Nietzsche, Marx, Freud and Foucault abandoned the theoretical framework of apologetical jurisprudence. The split, the bipolarity between law and power, legality and legitimacy, norm and exception is ideologically constructed and only apparent. Law and power follow similar strategies of operation and belong to the same regime of meaning. The two fields are closely intertwined, they are both linked in the joint project of constructing the (legal) subject by operating on zoe, the life of humans. As Agamben puts it, the spaces, the liberties and the rights historically won by protesters and rebels in their conflicts with power prepared a tacit but increasing inscription of individuals' lives within the state order, offering a new and more dreadful foundation for the very sovereign power from which they wanted to liberate themselves.
Law is intimately connected with power and force. As Walter Benjamin put it, in his radical re-working of jurisprudence 'Critique of Violence', violence both founds and preserves the law. Law-founding violence first. Most modern constitutions were introduced against the protocols of constitutional legality that existed at the time of their adoption, as a result of revolution, secession, victory or defeat in war or colonial occupation. Revolutionary violence suspends the law and constitution and justifies itself by claiming to be founding a new state, a better constitution and a just law to replace the corrupt or immoral system it rebels against. At the point of its occurrence, violence will be condemned as illegal, brutal, evil. But when it succeeds, revolutionary violence will be retrospectively legitimized as means to the end of social and legal transformation. Most legal systems are the outcome of force, the progeny of war, revolution, rebellion or occupation. This founding violence is either re-enacted in the great pageants that celebrate nation and state-building or forgotten in acts of enforcement of the new law and of interpretation of the new constitution.
The French revolution has been retrospectively legitimized by its Declaration des droits de l'homme, the American by the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights, the Greek constitutions emerged after different types of liberation from pre-existing oppression. These founding documents carry in themselves the violence of their foundation, as they move from the original act to its representations and interpretations. The American Bill of Rights is an obvious example. The violence of the militias, so important in the war of independence, is perpetuated in the constitutionally protected right to bear arms, which, some two centuries after the revolution, still keeps the United States in a state of war. Similarly, capital punishment reproduces the founding violence of war in every execution, which accompanies legal operations as the dark and empowering side of legal normality. These repetitions of the traumatic genesis of the new law are re-interpreted as demands of legality and the original violence is consigned to oblivion. Indeed one of the most important strategies in this politics of forgetting is the creation of a dominant approach to legal interpretation. Once victorious, revolutions or conquests produce interpretative models to read in return, to give sense, necessity and above all legitimacy to the violence that has produced, among others, the interpretative model in question, that is, the discourse of its self-legitimation.
Even within well-established and democratic legal systems, popular violence shadows that of the state and moves the law in unpredictable and undesirable for the powerful ways. The law accepts a limited right to protest and strike and in this sense acknowledges, in a reluctant and fearful manner, that violence cannot be written out of history. During the public disorder and protests in the miners strike, the anti-globalization demonstrations, the December insurrection in Greece, commentators condemned the protesters calling them 'undemocratic', their violence 'mindless'. The argument is that in western democratic and rule of law states, people have sufficient instruments to put pressure on governments and change policies and laws through the available democratic channels. And yet, the history of the West is replete of protests and riots and strikes which, condemned as they were at the time, contributed hugely to the freedoms and rights we take for granted. The Diggers and Levellers, the Gordon riots and the Reform protests, the suffragettes and the civil rights movements, the protesters at the Athens Polytechinic, East Germany, Prague, Bucharest and Belgrade, to name only a few obvious cases, have changed constitutions, laws and governments.
Protests mostly challenge the conserving violence of law, breaking minor public order regulations in order to highlight greater injustices. As long as protesters ask for this or that reform, this or that concession however important, the state can accommodate it. What it is afraid of is the "fundamental, founding violence, that is, violence able to justify … or to transform the relations of law and so to present itself as having a right to law." The characteristic insecurity the law feels in the face of its own foundation makes it portray radical protests and desperate attempts to bring about reform by unconventional means onto challenges to its founding authority, acts of revolutionary upheaval. The American civil rights marchers were often painted as communists, the striking miners were called the "enemy within" and the protesters of Eastern Europe agents of the CIA. This exaggerated response shows however that an interpretative and meaningful evaluation of violence — a critique of violence — is possible only if we recognize meaning in a violence that is not an accident arriving from outside law or a contingency of a sociological nature.
And certainly the violence of insurrection and rebellion is not 'mindless'. Talking to the rebelling youth of Athens last December, you sensed a thoughtful, inquiring, philosophical attitude to the ravishes of neo-liberal capitalism and police brutality. These rebels and 'hoodies' were people who in the vicinity of the ancient monuments were doing exactly what Socrates inaugurated in his symposia. They were challenging the doxa (common sense) of our times steeped into serious thinking and deep commitment. You could not find any of this in the media commentators and politicians.
Law-preserving force next. "Every juridical contract … is founded on violence" says Jacques Derrida and the legal academic Robert Cover agrees: "Legal interpretation takes place in a field of pain and death." The intricate relationship of law and force pervades all aspects of legal operations. There is no law, if it cannot be potentially enforced, if there is no police, army and prisons to punish and deter possible violations. In this sense, force and enforcement are part of the very essence of legality. Modern law coming out of the endless feuds of princes and local chiefs claimed a monopoly of violence in the territory of its jurisdiction and used it to protect the ends and functions it declares legal, but also to protect the empire of the law itself. This violence that follows the law routinely and forms the background against which interpretation can work. It guarantees the permanence and enforceability of law. There are two aspects to the violence that conserves the law.
Legal judgments are statements and deeds. They both interpret the law and act on the world. A conviction and sentence at the end of a criminal trial is the outcome of the judicial act of legal interpretation, but it is also the authorization and beginning of a variety of violent acts. The defendant is taken away to a place of imprisonment or of execution, acts immediately related to, indeed flowing from, the judicial pronouncement. Again as a result of civil judgments, people lose their homes, their children, their property or they may be sent to a place of persecution and torture. The founding and conserving violence of law cannot be separated as Benjamin and Cover tried to do. The two types of violence are intertwined and contaminate each other, as contemporary acts of legal "conservation" or interpretation repeat and re-establish the original law-making violence which establishes the new law.
The recent turn of jurisprudence to hermeneutics, semiotics and literary theory has focused on the word of the judge and forgotten the force of the word. The meaning seeking and meaning-imposing component of judging is analyzed as reasoned or pragmatic, principled or discretionary, predictable or contingent, shared, shareable or open-ended according to the political standpoint of the analyst. The main if not exclusive function of many judgments is to legitimize and trigger past or future acts of violence. The word and the deed, the proposition and the sentence, the constative and the performative are intimately linked.
Legal interpretations and judgments cannot be understood independently of this inescapable implication in violent action. In this sense, legal interpretation is a practical activity, other-orientated and designed to lead to effective threats and — often violent — deeds. This violence is evident at each level of the judicial act. The architecture of the courtroom and the choreography of the trial process converge to restrain and physically subdue the body of defendant. From the defendant's perspective, the common but fragile facade of civility of the legal process expresses a recognition of the overwhelming array of violence ranged against him and of the helplessness of resistance or outcry. But for the judge too, legal interpretation is never free of the need to maintain links with the effective official behavior that will en-force the statement of the law. Indeed, the expression "law enforcement" recognizes that force and its application lies at the heart of the judicial act. Legal sentences are both propositions of law and acts of sentencing.
Legal interpretation then is bonded, bound both to the deeds it triggers off and the necessary conditions of effective domination within which the sentence of the law will be enforced. Without such a setting that includes a formidable array of institutions, practices, rules and roles—police, prison guards, immigration officers, bailiffs, lawyers etc—the judicial word would remain a dead letter. All attempts to understand legal judgments and judicial decision-making as exclusively hermeneutical are incomplete. Legal interpretations belong both to horizons of meaning and to an economy of force. Whatever else judges do, they deal in fear, pain and death. If this is the case, aspirations to coherent and shared legal meaning are liable to flounder on the inescapable and tragic line that distinguishes those who mete out violence from those who receive it. Legal decisions lead to people losing their homes or children, being sent back to persecution and torture: legal interpretation leads to people losing their lives.
But there is also the violence of language itself. The law is full of examples in which people are judged in a language or an idiom they do not understand. This is the standard case with asylum-seekers who are routinely asked by immigration officials to present their case and to recount the brutalities and torture they have suffered in a language they do not speak. For Jean-Francois Lyotard an extreme form of injustice is that of an ethical tort or differend, in which the injury suffered by the victim is accompanied by a deprivation of the means to speak about it or prove it. "This is the case if the victim is deprived of life, or of all liberties, or of the freedom to make his or her ideas or opinions public, or simply of the right to testify to the damage, or even more simply if the testifying phrase is itself deprived of authority … Should the victim seek to by-pass this impossibility and testify anyway to the wrong done to her, she comes up against the following argumentation, either the damages you complain about never took place, and your testimony is false; or else they took place, and since your are able to testify to them, it is not an ethical tort that has been done to you."
When an ethical tort has been committed the conflict between the parties cannot be decided equitably because no rule of judgment exists that could be applied to both arguments. In such instances, language reaches its limit as no common language can be found to express both sides. The violence of injustice begins when the judge and the judged do not share a language or idiom. It continues when all traces of particularity of the person before the law are reduced to a register of sameness and cognition mastered by the judge. Indeed all legal interpretation and judgment presuppose that the other, the victim of language's injustice, is capable of language in general, man as a speaking animal. But as the Scottish poet Tom Leonard put it:
And their judges spoke with one dialect,
But the condemned spoke with many voices.
And the prisons were full of many voices,
But never the dialect of the judges.
And the judges said:
Let me conclude with four theses on the relationship between power, violence and normative systems.
The conflict between violence and law is more apparent than real. It should be replaced with an examination of the amalgam violence/law, in which violence is placed at the service of law and creates law while law both uses and begets violence.
State violence protects dominant interests and the established balance of power, but it is always exercised in the name of normative ends (even if highly abstract and general such as God, Nation, Law, Peace or Humanity). The violence sustaining the structure of domination is that of means towards ideal ends. This is the ideological process par excellence.
All force leads to counter-force, all violence to counter-violence, all systems of domination create resistances.
Systems of domination, such as neo-liberal capitalism are supported by a structural organisation of violence, which coerces, criminalises and disposes those who resist it or are surplus to its requirements. The condemnation of 'subjective' violence is hypocritical if it is not accompanied by that of systemic or 'objective' violence.

Here's a correction. This article states: "As Wendy Brown puts it, the spaces, the liberties and the rights historically won by protesters and rebels in their conflicts with power prepared a tacit but increasing inscription of individuals' lives within the state order, offering a new and more dreadful foundation for the very sovereign power from which they wanted to liberate themselves."
However, this is from Giorgio Agamben, Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life, Stanford UP, 1998, p. 121: "It is almost as if, starting from a certain point, every decisive political event were double-sided: the spaces, the liberties, and the rights won by individuals in their conflicts with central powers always simultaneously prepared a tacit but increasing inscription of individuals' lives within the state order, thus offering a new and more dreadful foundation for the very sovereign power from which they wanted to liberate themselves."
The following language is drawn from an article without attribution: "The recent turn of jurisprudence to hermeneutics, semiotics and literary theory has focused on the word of the judge and forgotten the force of the word…."
Here is the article (from 1991) where this language appears:
http://www.springerlink.com/content/p2tt40861ql51351/
Many thanks for your comments, which are, however, slightly strange. We have altered the first reference – as you will see above. However, the author does not feel the need to alter the second.
Your engagement is strange, as you appear to have gone through the article searching for minor errors, instead of engaging with the content. The idea behind these blog posts is precisely to engage in the moment with real concerns and issues. I wonder do you intend to look through all of our back-catalogue and find misattributions and maybe spelling errors? If you do intend to spend such an amount of time on the site, may I suggest instead that you think about the content rather than the form?
I think the content is most interesting and helpful. I wasn't searching for minor errors, but I just happened to be aware of the sources of the content as I was reading this. I think my posts are useful regarding the content, and are not about form. For example, if Wendy Brown uses the word "sovereign" it has a different content than if Giorgio Agamben uses the word "sovereign." So a correction of the source changes the content and meaning.
Also, I think that a genealogy of ideas is important — content doesn't exist on its own but is infused with its history. So it's can be important for delving into the content to know its genealogy.
For example, looking at this paragraph from the above post (and text in the paragraphs that follow):
It is useful to know for genealogical purposes (and for further reading) that the above text (and following paragraphs) mirrors this text from Costas Douzinas and Ronnie Warrington, "'A Well-Founded Fear of Justice': Law and Ethics in Postmodernity," Law and Critique, Vol. II, 2 (1991), pp. 115-116:
"The recent turn of jurisprudence to hermeneutics, semiotics and
literary theory has focussed on the word of the judge and forgotten
its force. The meaning seeking and meaning imposing component of judging is analysed as reasoned or capricious, principled or discretionary, predictable or contingent, shared, shareable or open-ended according to the political standpoint of the analyst. But as Cover has reminded us, in our obsession with hermeneutics we forget that 'legal interpretation takes place in a field of pain and death.' The main if not exclusive function of many judgments is to legitimise and trigger off past or future acts of violence. The word and the deed, the proposition and the sentence, the constative and the performative are intimately linked."
I just happened to be aware of these two texts and wanted to point this out to enrich the content.
Then many thanks for your thoughts. I would add that attribution and referencing has increasingly become fetishized. I imagine it is connected to levelling-down thought, to do with equivalence and logics of capital (Im thinking in particular of citation indexes as a measure of how 'good' or 'valuable' a work is). While I agree that it is useful in terms of a genealogy, to assert that something is 'taken' from another work – the implication being that it is 'stolen' – is to reassert the commodification of thought. But, I completely accept that this is not your purpose, that your comment comes from a support for the ideas rather than some sort of attack.
Guy Jones
Trying to argue law and power aren't the same things leads to different answers depending on how closely you want to look at the actual meaning or the ways in which they can be applied and used. It's a way of empowering the legal system which has shown time and time again that faults can be made, misrepresentations can be agreed to, laws can be changed….sometimes for the benefit of power and control. They are both human disciplines, there are distinctions to be made between realities/rights (decisions) and truths (absolute), the legal system is not always an unbiased way of working out a faultless correlation between the two seperate items. I only came upon this article after looking into laws/powers after reading that the Bulgarian president made a distinction between the two in the EU-Russia tensions over the South Stream project. I feel the EU is trying to use a legal framework to control resources of another country, which is power, I make no distinction and feel it is a PR stunt to try and win support.
I have read the article briefly but do feel, although written in great style, it sees the subject in a much more idealistic way than the truth. For one, even in the most democratic countries, people do not have the same equality of rights, depending on their social status, so that is one big difference. However, for the reality of the democracies of the world to continue to exist under a positive light I guess it is important to keep the illusion that power is for or rights and has nothing to do with power, so I understand the appetite to try to make a distinction, whether or not it is true or not.
Sorry, the last sentence has a mistake, should have been written 'law is for our rights' instead of 'power is for our rights'.

For the 2014 World Cup, Di Natale Reject AC Milan Bids
Italian veteran striker Antonio Di Natale turned down an offer to join AC Milan in the transfer market this summer. Di Natale Udinese chose to spend his career with a chance to keep the World Cup 2014.
Demonstrated commitment to continuing to strengthen Udinese after the players agreed to extend his contract with the team based at the Stadio Friulli it alone until 2015 Di Natale Udinese costumed been nine years since imported in 2004 from Empoli after being loaned to a number of clubs.
Udinese, he has appeared in 298 by scoring 158 party big gol.Naluri scored Milan seems to be the main reason for recruiting Di Natale despite the age of the players have stepped 35 years.
"I thank coach (Milan), Massimiliano Allegri and Vice-President, Adriano Galliani over bid (strengthening Milan)," Di Natale said as quoted by the Italian Football.
Di Natale explained, Milan are not the only team that made a bid proposal to his agent. "But I have always insisted, wanted to end my career at Udinese," he said.

"To be able to play in the Maracana, only once in a lifetime. If unable to do so, it was like adding icing to the cake my gait is very fantastic."

Almost one hundred years ago, the United States Supreme Court announced one of the most prominent doctrines in construction law. Bearing the name of the Supreme Court case in which it was established (United States v. Spearin, 248 U.S. 132 (1918)), the "Spearin Doctrine" holds that an owner impliedly warrants the adequacy of design specifications that it requires the contractor to follow when building the construction project. Under the Spearin Doctrine, the owner is responsible for additional costs incurred by the contract as a result of defective plans and specifications. While the Spearin Doctrine does not apply to all projects and in every circumstance where the owner furnishes plans and specifications to the contractor, the Spearin Doctrine has guided risk allocation in construction contracting across the country for decades.
The Spearin Doctrine was decided in the context of a conventional design-bid-build project. Since the Spearin Doctrine became law, however, project delivery methods have continued to evolve. The industry has frequently employed new combinations of contracting methods that blend design and construction functions, favoring partnering and sharing in the risks and rewards of a project. Nevertheless, disputes regarding design constructability can occur among project participants even when an alternative project delivery method has been implemented. As the law catches up with the industry, the courts are now addressing if and how the Spearin Doctrine applies to projects that are built through alternative contracting methods. This article highlights Coghlin Electr. Contractors, Inc. v. Gilbane Building Co., 36 N.E.3d 505 (2015), a recent decision from the highest court in Massachusetts in which a court for the first time considered whether a Construction Manager At-Risk ("CMAR") who participates to some extent in the pre-construction design phase could rely upon the Spearin Doctrine to recover costs from the public owner as a result of design errors.
Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 149A §§ 1-3. For qualifying projects, the agency enters into separate contracts, one with the designer and one with the CMAR. The agency may contract with the CMAR in the pre-construction design phase and involve the CMAR in a range of services, including cost estimation, design, coordination of bid packages, scheduling, cost control, and value engineering.
Pursuant to the foregoing statutory authority, the Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance ("DCAM") employed the CMAR delivery method to build a psychiatric facility ("Project"). When the Project was in design, DCAM entered into a contract with Gilbane Building Co. to serve as the CMAR ("CMAR Contract"). The CMAR Contract delegated certain design-related tasks to the CMAR, such as recommending design modifications and alternatives when the design details affected construction feasibility, schedules, cost or quality. However, the CMAR Contract also emphasized that the CMAR's recommendations would be made without assuming responsibility for the design and that DCAM and its separately-hired designer maintained authority and control over the Project design.
During the course of the Project, the CMAR's electrical subcontractor, Coghlin Electrical Contractors, Inc. ("Coghlin") claimed that various design discrepancies and changes affected its performance, causing substantially increased labor costs. Unsatisfied with the response to the claim, Coghlin filed suit against Gilbane for breach of their subcontract. In turn, Gilbane brought DCAM into the lawsuit seeking to pass through Coghlin's design claim.
The primary issue in the lawsuit was whether the implied warranty of the design applies when the construction project is not a traditional design-bid-build in which the owner prepares the plans and specifications without any involvement from the contractor. The trial court concluded that the implied warranty of design should not apply in a CMAR project because of material changes in the roles and responsibilities of the parties. As such, the trial court dismissed Coghlin's pass-through claim. The case proceeded on appeal to the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, the highest court in the state.
Reviewing the trial court's ruling that no implied warranty of design is found in a CMAR contract, the Supreme Judicial Court reached a contrary conclusion. The dispositive factor in the Supreme Judicial Court's decision to overturn the dismissal of the case was that the CMAR did not have control of and responsibility for the design. While the CMAR under the Massachusetts statute may consult in the design phase to some degree, the court reasoned that the owner and its designer ultimately controlled the design and did not have an obligation to accept the CMAR's input regarding design-related matters unless the particular contract between the parties stated otherwise. Thus, unlike the trial court, the Supreme Judicial Court concluded that the CMAR's participation in the design phase, but not as the designer, did not warrant shifting the risk of a defective design from the owner and its third-party designer.
Although the Supreme Judicial Court found the implied warranty of design applicable to CMAR contracts, it developed a sliding scale test for lower courts to determine when damages for a defective design are recoverable. The court stated that the CMAR may recover damages caused by the breach of the design warranty only if it proves that its reliance on the defective plans and specifications was reasonable and in good faith. When weighing the reasonableness of the CMAR's reliance on the design, the court explained that the fact finder should consider the CMAR's level of participation in the design phase and the extent to which the contract delegates design responsibility to the CMAR. As the court noted, the greater the CMAR's design responsibilities, the more difficult it will be for the CMAR to establish that its reliance on the defective design was both reasonable and in good faith. But if the CMAR could satisfy its burden under the reasonableness inquiry, it will be entitled to recover damages from the owner in the event that defects in the design result in additional costs.
The Supreme Judicial Court's opinion in Coghlin was the first of its kind to address whether the Spearin Doctrine applies in the context of a project performed by a Construction Manager At-Risk. As the application of the Spearin Doctrine to similar projects is addressed in other states, time will tell whether the Massachusetts court's reasonableness test gains a foothold in other jurisdictions. For now, it is significant that the process of adapting longstanding construction law doctrines to modern projects is underway.

Recess time in our School in Fihaonana, Madagascar
Haitian SCSL engaged in a new venture
A new educational work takes roots in Mali
"A tree is know by its fruit!"
The "Espace Éducatif Saint-Louis", Banankoro, which is already known for its many activities with and for women, has just opened a school. On October 17, 2020, Monsignor Zerbo accepted with great joy the invitation from the Sisters of Charity of St. Louis in Mali to bless the new school. For the current year, the Kindergarten (medium and large sections) as well as the first and second years of the primary school opened their doors… Then, year after year, the school will grow bigger…
When Fr. André Sylvestre, the founder of the Society of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Tozia, asked the Sisters of Charity of St. Louis in Haiti to take up responsibility for a mixed orphanage of 36 children, they said: "YES". It meant teaching from preschool to secondary 1 and running a dispensary and a farm. Thus, a community of four sisters who have engraved on their hearts a quote from Mt 19: 14: "Let the children come to me" was established. God bless this new venture!
France – Saint-Denis "A tree is know by its fruit!"
The Sisters of Our Lady of Compassion were founded in 1824 in Argenteuil by Mother Marie-de-la-Compassion who established the Mother House at St. Denis in 1829 where she opened a day and boarding school. In 1967, her Congregation merged with the Sisters of Charity of St. Louis founded in Vannes by Blessed Louise-Elisabeth. 191 years later, the Sisters left St. Denis, knowing that a healthy tree continues to bear fruit when its seeds are planted in love and tenderness.

In 2019, Pope Francis said that it was imperative to: "Re-invent the Global Compact on Education" and in October 2020, he launched The Compact. The International Union of Major Superiors hurried to prepare a Webinar entitled The Global Compact on Education.
"To be a compact, there must be at least two persons", the Pope said. The General Superior, Sister Alberte Piché wanted to attend the Webinar; she asked SCSL active members to join her on this virtual venture from November 12-14. There were 8 of them: 1 Canadian, 3 Haitians, 2 Malagasy, 1 Malian and 1 Senegalese. It is a key moment for SCSL's whose "mission involves works in education and in human development in the social and spiritual spheres".
Now, those Sisters are ambassadors who they told us what animates them: "The dignity of human beings is at the heart of my vision. I want to respect diversity". "I want to make the youth aware of the importance of relationships, to help them appreciate the elderly…" "I want to show that life has meaning only when given to others". "I want to enhance respect for differences, acceptance of one's own culture and appreciation of differences in others, to encourage them to see others as companions on their journey and not as threats".
"Never before has there been such need to unite our efforts in a broad educational alliance", the Pope said as he launched The Compact on October 15th. "To educate is always an act of hope", he said.

Michael Sugar's Sugar23 Teams With Blue Revolver On Multi-Sensory Technology For Virtual Events
by Lucille Avery on July 2, 2020 in Technology Consultant
EXCLUSIVE: Events are being completely redefined during COVID-19, with the word "virtual" becoming the driving concept at a time when physical gatherings are not possible.
Navigating this 2020 landscape, Michael Sugar's Sugar23 has teamed up with experiential agency Blue Revolver to bring to market new virtual event technology. The companies tell Deadline they envision it having dramatic potential for brands, entertainment companies and consumers during the pandemic and beyond.
Details are being kept somewhat under wraps, but the companies cite the April concert by platinum-selling rapper Travis Scott held inside the videogame Fortnite as clear evidence of the evolution now under way. That show was hailed as a game-changing success because it broke through traditional media boundaries to create a new, native environment teeming with young audiences coveted by advertisers.
Sugar23 and Blue Revolver say their technology has some conceptual aspects in common with the Scott show, except they say it is more accessible to average consumers and has greater potency for concerts or in-store experiences. Through nothing more than a smartphone app, it brings multi-sensory moments into consumers' homes without the need for virtual reality headsets or expensive equipment.
Sugar is known as a producer and talent manager whose credits include Spotlight, The OA and The Knick. In 2017, he founded Sugar23. The firm works across many fields, including content creation, books, podcasts and e-gaming, with projects including Dickinson for Apple TV+. Blue Revolver, founded by Bree McAlister, works with clients such as Netflix, Disney, Nike, AT&T, Disney, Apple/Beats and Live Nation, specializing in activating the five human senses.
The partnership was cemented during the coronavirus lockdowns and the isolation and challenges to communicate began to hit with full force. They were seeking a way to combat Zoom fatigue and deliver more interaction and immersion, building community and connection among consumers.
One scenario for the new technology is a pop-up shop, with customers opening an app, which then scans the room for an open space and instantly fills it with the entrance to the shop. They would then walk in and engage with a familiar branded retail environment, only elevated in ways made possible by the virtual nature of the venue.
"Despite the ever-changing nature of our zeitgeist, Blue Revolver has managed to find a way to help brands connect to the masses in the most unconventional ways by creating real, tangible experiences," Sugar said. "Bree and her team are not only brilliant, creative minds, but are also phenomenal business people. We are incredibly excited by the dynamic possibilities Blue Revolver brings to the table, and partnering together will only further bolster our strategic branding ecosystem, and allow us to be storytellers in any medium, and in any space."
Added McAlister, "Looking at recent virtual events, we are inspired by some truly innovative moments. The technology that Sugar23 and Blue Revolver are releasing today parallels existing technology at a similar or higher quality, with the added benefit of it being easily usable by the masses. Currently, virtual events are limited to niche platforms that typically require expensive equipment and/or a high level of technical know-how. This new app exponentially broadens the potential audience to anybody that owns a smartphone, allowing companies and brands to create a similar level of wonder and entertainment that all consumers can enjoy."
