Defendants conviction for patient abuse is supported by sufficient evidence and is not against the manifest weight of the evidence; a surveillance videotape depicting Defendants assault on a patient was not inadmissible for lack of authentication, because the parties stipulated to its authenticity; ineffective assistance of counsel is not demonstrated; other act evidence was not introduced, when the witness asked about the evidence denied its existence; trial court did not abuse its discretion when it barred Defendant from propounding questions on cross examination to impugn the testifying witnesss character, which counsel lacked a good faith basis to propound. Affirmed.
While Christians may still be in plentiful supply across America's heartland, they are fast becoming an endangered species in the rarified habitat of our coastal cities and cultural heights. The purveyors of our pop culture propound anti-Christian stereotypes with increasing frequency and intensity. So much so that even those few, brave elites who have personally embraced the faith often feel compelled to publicly condemn it. The latest cultural darling to denounce Christianity and all of its works is Ann Rice. This famous vampire novelist and pop theologian announced last week that she was rejecting Christianity as an organized religion. She is still a Christian, mind you. Simply a better one than those millions who actually go to church.
With sustained technological, economic, and human-capital investment at home (including a systematic effort to tackle crippling government deficits and the national debt) and a continued commitment to mobilize public support for international stewardship, the United States will remain well-placed to manage challenges from any imaginable great-power adversary. The greatest challenge for the United States and Europe in coming decades may not be fending off peer competitors in zero-sum military conflicts but vesting rising powers with responsibilities for global governance commensurate with their international clout - and their status as beneficiaries of an international order sustained disproportionately by Western leadership.\n This was part of a larger U.S. design to encourage Asian pa...

Agency Theory is an economics-based control system design that has been used extensively to model the control system choices available to firms. This article summarizes predictions that arise from the agency model and presents the results of a case study designed to assess the validity of agency model projections. Given that many business school professors continue to propound the relevance and validity of Agency Theory principles, practicing managers need to know if these principles apply in the real world, provide useful guidance, and, thus, have merit.
The other day, I stumbled on a pair of headlines whose proximity to one another spoke volumes: "Palin: U.S. troops sent to Iraq on a 'task that is from God,'" and "Ice shelf the size of Manhattan breaks off." It was a rude reminder that even as the Earth heats up and the planet's living systems unravel, a virulent strain of the body politic is keen to perpetuate oil war in the Lord's name. Tellingly, these same folks propound a strikingly shortsighted "alternative" energy solution: "Drill here! Drill now! Broad humanity" cleared more than just the ground. Passenger pigeonswhich once numbered in the billionswere still relatively plentiful in the latter half of the 19th century, but wholesale slaughter by folks with a taste for pigeon pie, along with habitat loss, were taking terrible t...
[Dan Scott] also talks about "genderizing" space and objects when discussing his work. This is a reference to certain devices that differentiated Italian Renaissance painting (considered a more "feminine" approach) from that of the Baroque (being more "masculine"). Scott resorts to both. By comparing Still Life with Peaches and Mercy, which Scott describes as Renaissance-like/feminine in its subject, color choices and representation of space, to Chronos and Kairos, with its statues of Greek gods and masculine construction, we begin to see what he means. It is, however, the early 17th-century Baroque, in both its Italian and Dutch manifestations, that has most influenced Scott. The followers of Caravaggio in Italy (the "post-Caravaggists") and those painters from Utrecht who studied in I...

[...] that challenges the age-old distinction between theory and praxis, Levinas asserts that philosophy answers to a more fundamental ethical exigency which all humans undergo, "practically," all the time. [...] through bringing the later ethico-political philosophy of Albert Camus in The Rebel into an engagement with the more widely known ethical philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas, I will contest the lasting silence concerning Camus's political philosophy in philosophical literature.1 Secondly, I argue that Camus's account of political subjectivity in L'Homme Revolte decisively anticipates that later expounded by Levinas.

Ray Kallman's recent articles about the Bush administration's "shredding of the Constitution" is one of many hues and cries about our "loss of personal freedoms." Politicians and pundits rant and rave incessantly in this election year about the Geneva Conventions, habeas corpus for terrorists, illegal wiretapping, and torture of combatants. One senses that the media is sometimes more concerned about the rights of the captured detainees than our collective safety. The "proponents" and "opponents" make their arguments eloquently. They create cacophony, but allow no even compromise. They propound loud and vigorous stances and positions. They cast blame everywhere for past misdeeds. But they provide no practical solutions because they allow their individual biases to color their remarks, an...
