It was written in conjunction with four other papers studying World Trade Centers (WTCs) sites in Taipei, Amsterdam, Curacao and Portland (Oregon). These sites represent a cross-section of the various trade and economic environments that World Trade Centers operate in around the globe. Each of these studies examines the extent to which the owner/developer, the tenants and other regional public and private concerns have benefitted through their involvement with these highly specialized real estate developments. The New York World Trade Center is unique from all other World Trade Centers in several respects.

  • A Critical Review of the 9/11 Mysteries Viewer's Guide
    A Critical Review of the “9/11 Mysteries Viewer’s Guide” By Adam Taylor Version 1.0 Introduction: The film 9/11 Mysteries Part 1: Demolitions was one of the first professionally made independent films regarding alternative theories surrounding the events of September 11th, 2001.[1] In particular, the film focused on the numerous anomalies concerning the collapse of the WTC. The film was praised by numerous members of the so-called 9/11 Truth Movement: "Excellent. The best of the 9/11 movies." -- David Ray Griffin "WOW! is my reaction to this movie. Great insight into demolitions and what really happened on 9/11/2001." -- Steven E. Jones "An outstanding contribution to understanding 9/11. Simply superb." -- James H. Fetzer Regardless of this praise, many have also criticized the film based on allegations that the film presents false information, illogical fallacies, and cherry-picked sources. The most extensive criticism has been developed by a person named “Shane,” calling himself “The Doc” on the internet.[2] The Doc’s first criticism came in the form of a film called “Screw 9/11 Mysteries,” a version of the original film subtitled with comments by The Doc.[3] Over two and half hours in length, this edited version of 9/11 Mysteries critiqued practically every point of the film. Soon after, The Doc also developed a written essay titled “9/11 Mysteries Viewer’s Guide.”[4] This essay expanded on the points made in Screw 9/11 Mysteries, and is over 130 pages in length. The essay was made to refute the entire film, using the film’s online transcript.[5] 1 It should be noted that 9/11 Mysteries has also been criticized by other members of the Truth Movement as well.[6] The most extensive critique of the film by a proponent of the controlled demolition theory was done by software engineer Jim Hoffman.[7] I myself strongly disagree with several points the film makes.

  • Liability for Uncertainty: Making Evidential Damage Actionable Alex Stein [email protected]
    Brooklyn Law School BrooklynWorks Faculty Scholarship 7-1997 Liability for Uncertainty: Making Evidential Damage Actionable Alex Stein [email protected] Ariel Porat Follow this and additional works at: https://brooklynworks.brooklaw.edu/faculty Part of the Evidence Commons Recommended Citation 18 Cardozo L. Rev. 1891 (1996-1997) This Article is brought to you for free and open access by BrooklynWorks. It has been accepted for inclusion in Faculty Scholarship by an authorized administrator of BrooklynWorks. LIABILITY FOR UNCERTAINTY: MAKING EVIDENTIAL DAMAGE ACTIONABLE* Ariel Porat** & Alex Stein*** OUTLiNE Because factual uncertainty distorts the allocation of civil liability, this Article argues that the law should impose liability for uncertainty. Justified on both corrective justice and eco- nomic efficiency grounds, this liability should be imposed upon any person who negligently aggravates the uncertainty of a civil case by making its evidential base deficient. Because "evi- dence" belongs to the world of inferences rather than things, evidential damage may be inflicted in a variety of ways, far be- yond destruction of documents and other physical tampering with evidence. Through adoption and refinement of this insight, the Article diagnoses the presence of evidential damage in many legally important settings, such as mass torts, medical malprac- tice, exposure to risk, and employment discrimination. It also identifies a number of legal doctrines that handle the evidential damage problem indirectly and thus attempt to resolve it within the narrow scope of their application. Criticized by the Article as underdeveloped forms of liability for evidential damage, these doctrines are urged to be replaced by an explicit and com- prehensive liability.

Ross, Jr. Secretary of Commerce U.S. Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20230 John M. Mulvaney Director of the Office of Management and Budget 725 17th Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20503 Dear Secretary Ross and Director Mulvaney: On behalf of 106 undersigned organizations throughout New York State, we are requesting that you reject any effort by the Department of Justice to add a question regarding citizenship to the 2020 decennial Census. To do otherwise, would severely undermine the accuracy and non- partisan legitimacy of the Census, impair the delicate trust between the community and the role of the Census, and skyrocket the cost of the Census. A non-partisan, reliable and responsive 2020 Census is needed to ensure the proper distribution of over $600 billion in federal funding to communities across this country for needed schools, hospitals, housing, and transportation. For that reason, great effort has been expended by the Census to ensure questions will elicit both an accurate and high response rate, a process that has involved extensive screening, focus groups, and field tests. At this stage in the process, there is no time to add questions that have not been properly vetted, especially since citizenship is already included in the American Community Survey. There is no doubt that adding a citizenship question to the decennial Census would pose a chilling effect and result in a significant undercount, particularly by already under-counted racial and ethnic minority groups, including immigrants and non-citizens.
