Puerto Rico as a Critical Locality: Is a Post-Colonial Puerto Rico Possible - A Game-Theoretic Analysis of the Impasses over Puerto Rico\u27s Status
No full textThe author applies the game-theoretic concept of the truel (or three-person duel) to the Puerto Rico status debate. In summary, the debate over Puerto Rico\u27s future political status resembles a three-person, sequential, random-order truel in which no single player is able to eliminate the other two players. In addition, the author applies some concepts from evolutionary biology (path dependence) and behavioral economics (loss aversion) to explain the current impasse over Puerto Rico\u27s status. Finally, the author examines recent strategic behavior in the U.S. Congress over Puerto Rican status
Confessions of a Self-Study Coordinator: A Guide for the Perplexed
No full textThe author of this article remained addicted to Westerns on television and in theaters as a child during the 1950s. He remembers a recurring image in the Westerns of that era: a couple of unshaven townspeople sitting on a rustic wooden bench outside the sheriff\u27s office with their faces partially covered by cowboy hats as they slept slumping in a sitting position on the bench. When the sheriff left or entered his office, one or more of these people might lift his or their hats and open one eye greeting the sheriff with a howdy sheriff. In August, 2003, at the start of the 2003-04 academic year, the author of this article served as one of these somnolent sheriff\u27s office props at his law school, and something unusual and out of character occurred. The sheriff walked out of the sheriff\u27s office, shook him awake, stood him up from the ever-present bench, pinned a badge on him, and deputized him. In this case, the new Dean of the author\u27s law school walked up to the author on the first day of school and told the author to prepare a Self-Study for an American Bar Association ( ABA ) sabbatical visit to occur in February, 2005. The new deputy was shocked, befuddled, dismayed, and frightened with the prospect of coping with what appeared to be a group of marauders intending to visit town, the ABA inspection team. What follows are some thoughts about the ABA sabbatical inspection in the context of a Self-Study coordinator
Counter-culture versus post-modernism. The example STU Theatre
No full textAs indicated in its title, the article presents the relations between the counter-culture and post-modernism. The
author's standpoint is that those links are not always perceived and realised in the contemporary reflection on
post-modernism. Both phenomena occurred more or less in the same time (the sixties), which enabled mutual
influences and inspiration, especially in the area of artistic search.
The proof of that, according to the author, are the STU Theatre shows from the 1970-ties (Spadanie, Sennik
polski, Donkichoteria), which after years can be read as manifestations of post-modernist aesthetics (Spadanie,
Sennik polski), and even post-modernist outlook {Donkichoteria). Additional spice is the fact that the authors of
the mentioned plays, which are considered to be the leading achievements of altemative/counter-culture theatre,
only today are labelled predecessors of post-modernism, because in the 70-ties both they and the audience were
not aware of it

Squeezed-state source using radiation-pressure-induced rigidity
No full textWe propose an experiment to extract ponderomotive squeezing from an interferometer with high circulating power and low mass mirrors. In this interferometer, optical resonances of the arm cavities are detuned from the laser frequency, creating a mechanical rigidity that dramatically suppresses displacement noises. After taking into account imperfection of optical elements, laser noise, and other technical noise consistent with existing laser and optical technologies and typical laboratory environments, we expect the output light from the interferometer to have measurable squeezing of 5 dB, with a frequency-independent squeeze angle for frequencies below 1 kHz. This squeeze source is well suited for injection into a gravitational-wave interferometer, leading to improved sensitivity from reduction in the quantum noise. Furthermore, this design provides an experimental test of quantum-limited radiation pressure effects, which have not previously been tested.Thomas Corbitt, Yanbei Chen, Farid Khalili, David Ottaway, Sergey Vyatchanin, Stan Whitcomb and Nergis Mavalval
Redressing Politicized Spending
No full textThis article is about politicized spending in the federal discretionary budget. As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy initiatives. Any expressions of opinion are those of the author. The Federalist Society seeks to further discussion about discretionary spending, standards of review for agency decisions, and the constitutional issues surrounding politicized decision making
Linguistic Rights of Indigenous Peoples in the States of Latin America
No full textThe protection of language rights of speakers of indigenous languages has experienced important developments in the Latin American sphere, which has served as a framework for the whole process of recognition of cultural and ethnical identity of Indigenous Peoples. This reflects a rejection of assimilation, and an assertion of multicultural and multilingual aspects in Latin American societies. On the one hand, the author focuses on the role that international law instruments related to human rights, those for the general protection of minorities and those specific for the indigenous peoples, may perform in the recognition of linguistic rights when granting legal protection of minimum standards and, at the same time, insisting on changes in internal law. On the other hand, the author analyzes the treatment of indigenous languages by the new Latin American constitutions and their legal developments. This treatment fluctuates between providing the language with an official status or with articles to safeguard the language as an integral part of the state\u27s cultural heritage, by including some positive linguistic rights
Thompson v. Trump: Lost in the Funhouse of Brandenburg
No full textD.C. Circuit Court Judge Amit Mehta\u27s ruling in Thompson v. Trump denying immunity to ex-President Donald Trump in actions brought against him by a variety of plaintiffs for inciting the January 6th insurrection offered a moment of relief to the left side of the Great Partisan Divide in these dark times. Mr. Trump could finally be held responsible for a bit of the havoc he wreaked. The author advises not to celebrate too quickly. The Supreme Court-in the great likelihood that the case ends up there-may not see eye to eye with Judge Mehta. Two issues will be central to the High Court\u27s analysis and to this Essay. The first is whether the ex-President\u27s remarks fell outside of the Court\u27s capacious view of the outer perimeter of presidential functions. The second issue as to whether his speech that day falls under the long-standing Brandenburg exception to free speech presents a minefield of perplexing, previously unidentified issues that threaten consistency in the decisions it produces. The author brings each of these issues to light, positing their implications for Mr. Trump\u27s immunity with respect to the civil suits arising out of the January 6th attack on Congress and ultimately providing an inventory of questions that the Court must weigh in on to produce a workable standard for assessing when speech is deemed to incite imminent lawless action
Democratizing International Arbitration? Mass Claims Proceedings in Abaclat v. Argentina
No full textMass claims have been accepted, in principle, in the landmark 2011 ICSID Decision on Jurisdiction and Admissibility of Abaclat v. Argentina. Welcoming this development as providing novel access for the common man and woman to international investment arbitration, the author explores related streamlined procedures in domestic and international law -- such as class actions and international mass claims commissions as well as vanguard use of technology and statistical methods -- that allow the processing of a high number of claims arising from common factual and/or legal issues with a view toward elaborating rules and mechanisms tailor-made for the context of international arbitration
