Theories of coercion exist across multiple disciplines to explicate the ability of one actor, the coercer, to diminish the free will of another, the coercee, in the absence of overt physical force. A valid claim of coercion places legal blame on the coercer or relinquishes the coercee from legal responsibility for a coerced act or omission. Defining the point at which coercion occurs, however, is the conceptually more difficult task. Recently, coercion has emerged as a significant source of analytic concern in a developing area of the law-contemporary involuntary labor or human trafficking. It is in this setting where coercion is explicitly codified as a fundamental legal element in human-trafficking crimes. However, the laws addressing human trafficking continue to struggle with deline...

In his article, "Quality Snags in the Mortgage-Finance Supply Chain," Paul Zipkin provides a provocative exploration and discussion, thoughtful analysis, and several recommendations for the application of quality management concepts, tools, and techniques to help improve the quality of the mortgage-finance supply chain. This commentary offers several thoughts on some of the systems issues associated with implementing and sustaining the changes that Zipkin recommends. As Zipkin notes, the subprime mortgage crisis represents a systemwide failure of quality. Creating sustainable change in the mortgage-finance system will require a thorough understanding of the overall system in order to learn from experience and develop effective design changes in policy, products, processes, consumption, ...

- Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Revised Critical Habitat for the Northern Spotted Owl
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) proposes to revise the designated critical habitat for the northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). Consistent with the best scientific data available, the standards of the Act, our regulations, and agency practice, we have initially identified, for public comment, approximately 13,962,449 acres (ac) (5,649,660 hectares (ha)) in 11 units and 63 subunits in California, Oregon, and Washington that meet the definition of critical habitat. In addition, however, the Act provides the Secretary with the discretion to exclude certain areas from the final designation after taking into consideration economic impacts, impacts on national security, and any other relevant impacts of spec...

This article argues for the need to historicize the use and reception of photographs taken of Allied POWs upon release from Japanese prison camps at the end of World War Two. Photographs of semi-naked, emaciated POWs at the time of their liberation were extremely unusual images of white men in a state of almost complete abjection. They provide an opportunity to explore the links between masculinity and war with particular reference to the way visual images-in this case photography-inform and shape that relationship. The images convey contradictory messages to the viewer. They undermine the hegemonic masculinity of the virile male warrior yet unmistakably invoke the power of a quite singular cultural referent: the suffering body of Christ. The argument to be explored here is that this du...

In this article entitled "," the author discussed the links among multi-level multi-system relations, behavior, regulation, feedback, learning, and democracy and the marketplace. Without computer modeling, he understood that these were related concepts that produced and responded to their shared histories and mutual futures. He concluded that adaptation is not enough. He urged government, through regulatory processes and good governance, to anticipate the disturbances of rapid industrialization, and to understand that satisfying needs creates more needs. He posed a series of fundamental questions about conflict that are significant because a system's character can be described by how conflicts are resolved. The governments' and the market's decision-making about p...
