STAFF In the heroic stories, both fictional and factual, featured in these pages, each beast Marianna Brashear is an avatar of coercion—whether manifested in the naked force of an authoritarian Ariel Deschapell regime, in the insidious ideologies that masquerade special interests as collective Ryan Ferguson weal, or in the actions of one individual willing to impose his will on another. Michael Heydon Lauren Hicks The peril may be physical or intellectual. To risk suffering and death requires a Morgan Hoggle particular brand of heroism, but there are quieter forms of courage and character: there Jason Kelly is real risk and real valor in defying the established wisdom, in speaking truth to power. Sara Morrison Carl Oberg The word hero is Greek, from a root that means protector. The customary Ian Ostaszewski understanding of the hero, then, is as one who protects his tribe. But the heroes of Jason Riddle freedom face an extra challenge: the tribe that they set out to protect stand also as William Smith guardians at the threshold, one of the obstacles to be overcome. Elizabeth Sorby Justin Streiff Campbell wrote, “The modern hero, the modern individual who dares to heed the Elise Thompson call and seek the mansion of that presence with whom it is our whole destiny to David Veksler be atoned, cannot, indeed must not, wait for his community to cast off its slough of pride, fear, rationalized avarice, and sanctified misunderstanding.… It is not society BOARD OF TRUSTEES that is to guide and save the creative hero, but precisely the reverse.” CHAIRMAN Roger Ream VICE CHAIRMAN Harry H. Langenberg In the traditional tale, when the hero returns with the boon or elixir that will SECRETARY Ingrid A. Gregg revitalize his community, he arrives transformed, ready to reintegrate with his TREASURER Michael S. Yashko people. But the elixir of liberty transforms the community itself.

Washington, DC 20006 13 October 2003 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The first task of Project HEROES was undertaken by the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) to examine and define the protection needs of fire fighters and other first responders during a broad array of different missions. This task began with a review for how the fire service and its responsibilities have changed over the past 20 years since personal protective equipment (PPE) was then affected by Project FIRES. In that 20 year period, the fire service has evolved to gain responsibility for a larger number of missions. Fire suppression is no longer the chief responsibility for most fire departments, but rather responses to a wide range of missions, including emergency medical aid, technical rescue, and more recently the prospect for terrorism events involving weapons of mass destruction. As America’s fire fighters attempt to keep up with these changing roles, it is noted that the level of preparedness and PPE needed to safety carry out the different missions is often lacking.

  • The Battle for Public Interest Law: Exploring the Orwellian Nature of the Freedom Based Public Interest Movement
    The Battle for Public Interest Law: Exploring the Orwellian Nature of the Freedom Based Public Interest Movement † TIMOTHY L. FODEN I. INTRODUCTION Perform a brief Westlaw or Lexis search on the freedom-based public interest movement and you will come up with very little, if anything at all. Similarly, the typical survey class on public interest law offers no information on the more conservative and libertarian wing of the public interest movement. This lack of readily available information prompts a number of questions. Who are the people behind such organizations? Why is it difficult to find information on their work? What is the movement’s agenda? A brief look at a few of these organizations reveals a number of different goals. Freedom-based public interest groups advocate for traditionally conservative causes. Groups such as the Institute for Justice and the Pacific Legal Foundation have launched litigation campaigns against such institutions as the welfare system and the environmental regulatory regime. Other organizations such as the Alliance Defense Fund litigate for the insertion of religious symbols and practices in public spaces. Running the gamut of conservative causes, the freedom- based public interest legal movement has co-opted the once exclusively liberal term, public interest. The Orwellian name-game behind the self-asserted title “freedom-based public interest law movement”1 (“FBPILM”) is heavily responsible for the newly contested definition of public interest. The reason why there is a lack of ascertainable information on these groups is linked to their seemingly innocuous assumption of the term “public interest.” When thinking of public interest, the average lawyer or law † The author would like to thank Professor Richard Wilson for his encouragement of a peculiar topic that required a somewhat journalistic approach.

  • Heroes' Compensation: an All-Points Bulletin Calling for Coverage Of
    Heroes’ Compensation: An All-Points Bulletin Calling for Coverage of First Responder-Related PTSD Under the Ohio Workers’ Compensation Act Maximilian C. Jelen* Studies reveal there is a high prevalence rate of PTSD among first responders—markedly higher than the average employee. First responder-related PTSD has been found to adversely affect the ability of first responders to perform their duties, endangering themselves and society at-large. Yet under current Ohio workers’ compensation law, a claimant may only receive workers’ compensation benefits for a psychiatric condition that develops as a sequela of a compensable physical injury or occupational disease. Ohio’s exclusion of purely psychiatric (mental-mental) claims is problematic because first responders are unable to receive compensation and medical treatment for * J.D.

This Comment argues Ohio’s restrictive stance regarding mental-mental claims is unjustifiable with respect to first responder- related PTSD. This Comment proposes two ways in which the Ohio General Assembly could amend the Ohio Workers’ Compensation Act to provide a narrow exception to Ohio’s categorical exclusion of mental-mental claims, where there would be a rebuttable presumption in favor of providing some amount of workers’ compensation benefits to first responders diagnosed with PTSD, regardless of an accompanying compensable injury. 2020 HEROES’ COMPENSATION 357 I.INTRODUCTION ...........................................................................358 II.BACKGROUND ...........................................................................364 A.

    THE CONSERVATIVE INTELLECTUAL MOVEMENT IN AMERICA SINCE 1945 30TH EDITION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK George H Nash | 9781933859125 | | | | | The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America Since 1945 30th edition PDF Book CNN anchor Brian Stelter on Wednesday chided a reporter after she criticized the media's double standard in reporting on Hunter Biden's controversial emails, telling her that she is "bitter" and harbors "resentment" about the matter. In particular, Trumpism is deliberately breaking with the conservative internationalism of the Cold War era and with the pro-free-trade, supply-side-economics orthodoxy that has dominated Republican policymaking since It is a coalition with many points of origin and diverse tendencies that are not always easy to reconcile. In the summer of , Americans were stunned to learn that Britain had voted Socialist. There is no such thing as a lost cause, said T. At one point in , Hayek even briefly became an election issue when Clement Atlee accused the Conservative Party of adopting the Austrian economist's allegedly reactionary principles. As he later observed, the emotions the book engendered amazed him. Hayek was not the only European intellectual who provided intellectual sustenance to the American Right in the mids. Build Your Own Bookshelf? But conservatives diverge profoundly in their appraisal of the phenomenon itself and of the man who has become its champion. No one in the Biden camp has denied the veracity of a single email thus far. It had not, after all, been such a long time since modern liberalism statism to its detractors had attained power in America. Uploaded by Tracey Gutierres on December 12, In any case, one of the salient developments of the late s and s was the intellectual journey of various liberals and social democrats toward conservative positions and affiliations.

  • Amanda Shanor, the New Lochner, 2016 Wisc. L. Rev
    THE NEW LOCHNER AMANDA SHANOR* Commercial interests are increasingly laying claim, often successfully, to First Amendment protections. Once the mainstay of political liberty, the First Amendment has emerged as a powerful deregulatory engine—and one with great implications for modern governance. This Article identifies that development as a growing constitutional conflict between the First Amendment and the modern administrative state and analyzes its origins and implications. The Article traces two opposing trends that have led to that constitutional conflict. A business-led social movement has mobilized to embed libertarian-leaning understandings of the First Amendment in constitutional jurisprudence. At the same time, administrative regimes have moved away from command-and-control regulation towards lighter-touch forms of governance that appear more speech-regulating. The stakes of this conflict are high. Because nearly all human action operates through communication or expression, the First Amendment possesses near total deregulatory potential. For that reason, I argue that the First Amendment operates as the fullest boundary line of constitutional state action. I identify the unique features of this modern form of constitutional deregulation—which I call the new Lochner—by interrogating the parallel drawn by a growing number of scholars and judges between recent First Amendment jurisprudence and Lochner v. New York’s liberty of contract. The Article explores linkages between theories of the First Amendment and administrative law, and it analyzes the implications of the First Amendment’s deregulatory turn for understandings of democratic legitimacy, choice, and constitutional change. I argue that the new Lochner must be rejected because advocates of its deregulatory vision are forwarding a concept of liberty that has no limiting principle and, if taken to its analytical conclusion, would render self-government impossible.
