Car Accident Attorney Los Angeles
Car accidents happen every day on the streets of Los Angeles. It only takes seconds for the driver of a vehicle to get distracted and take his eyes off the road, or for someone to try to make it past a yellow traffic light, for an accident to happen. This is one of the reasons that every driver on the road should be aware of, and obey, the traffic laws that have been designed to protect the people on the road. These laws protect drivers and pedestrians equally.
It is important that people research and find out more about accidents because anyone could be dealing with such predicament in the near future. The more you know, the more you can prepare yourself, and legally protect yourself. Car accident lawyer Los Angeles - LA has a list of possibilities that you can check. As mentioned, there are many possibilities that you need to cover. For example, you might be involved in a hit-and-run accident. Perhaps you didn't see the other driver's license plate number. What do you do now? What if you did see the license plate number, but it was from another state? It is also possible that they had no insurance. As you can see, there are many possibilities, and we haven't even gotten started yet.
When someone gets into an accident, they have the option of filing a lawsuit against any negligent parties. Negligence is the at-fault factor. The question of who was at fault becomes an important one when deciding who should pay for your damages. As you may or may not already know, every car accident case that leads to injuries would be classified and litigated under personal injury laws of the specific state where it happened. To litigate your case in court, you will need the help of a car accident lawyer. Fortunately, most such lawyers have the proper knowledge regarding what it takes to get the most amount of compensation for you. Most lawyers will charge based on how much they collect for you, so it is in their best interest to collect as much as possible.
It is ideal if the attorney and his staff work closely with the victim of the car accidents. The reason for this is that you don't want misunderstandings and miscommunication to happen when it comes to your file. You want the attorney to be aware regarding your objectives, what it is that you are trying to accomplish. You also want to show him your bills, including medical bills, and evidence of lost wages. In addition, you want to have some kind of evidence for your pain and suffering. Someone who has recovered a significant amount for his or her clients will know what to do.
The pain and financial problems that come about as a result of an accident can have a long-lasting, or even permanent, impact. Therefore, you should hire a legal expert who will have your best interest in mind. This has to be someone who will gather all the evidence, and do the paperwork, to prove your case.
What kinds of damages can you collect for?
You can collect for your past medical bills, future medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any long-term injuries and disabilities.
In most car accident cases, punitive damages are not possible because the person who was at fault did not do it on purpose. You can see here for more information. Punitive damages are usually meant to punish the defendant for a wrongdoing that is so malicious that a normal person would be shocked. For example, if someone hits a pedestrian on purpose, then perhaps the pedestrian could qualify for punitive damages. However, in most car accidents, the defendant was simply negligent. He was not paying attention to the road, or he was using his cell phone, or other reasons that are just negligence.

I'm trying to connect parents who can add their input on attachment parenting topics such as breastfeeding, babywearing, co sleeping & gentle discipline. My blog is called Naturally Attached and I would love added comments and discussions! I believe us Mommas can help with each other tremendously by just adding the little things. The way we go about doing something. Tips and Tricks. It can make all the difference in our daily lives!
Thanks so much and I look forward to talking with all of you!!

We do practice attachment parenting, which is partially what my blog is about bossybabies.blogspot.com, would love to check out your blog! I have been trying to connect with parents facing similar issues to mine!
Julie, I checked out your blog and I love it! I posted a few comments. Definitely check out mine and please add input, suggestions, whatever comes to mind! Keep in contact!
Brigid @ www.naturallyattached.com
Thanks for the comments. I will definitely have to drop by your blog. I first read about attachment parenting when we were having a hard time with our son. After reading about this in a Dr Sears book I decided to put every ounce of love I have into my son (not like I wasn't already). Since then it has been amazing. We have overcome some physical issues, lots of sickness and he really is the sweetest boy...
Talk to you later, Gina @ My Chocolate Peaces - a blog about the busy and crazy lifestyle
Hi Mama,
I am definitely an attached parent and I LOVE it! It's always nice to find like minded Mamas with all the people out there telling me how I'm spoiling my child. I will check you out and you can stop by mine as well.
I posted on your blog as well but I am a co-sleeping babywearer and I LOVE it!!!! It's now the only way my princess goes to sleep without a fight, lol.
Rachelle @ Confessions of a Baby Wearing, Co-Sleeping, Pistol Packin Mama
I'm going to follow your blog now. I am deffinitely a follower of attachment parenting. My 20 month old daughter still sleeps with us, still breastfeeds (even though my whole family, including my own mother thinks it's inappropriate). I try to follow all Dr. Sears' recommendations and I think it has been very successful with my daughter. She is extremely confident, very healthy (she has never been sick except for a couple of very minor colds) and she is well bonded with my husband and I. I can't imagine parenting any other way!

RYAN VREDE watched Western Province comprehensively outplay the Bulls in their 42-6 win at Newlands.
The quality of the match was poor in parts, but this was understandable given the calibre of player on show – most of whom were Vodacom Cup standard. Certainly injuries and Springbok call ups were also mitigating factors.
But WP, vastly superior in every facet of play, won't care. There were good signs on attack for a team that has struggled there, the bonus point secured before the final quarter. Their defence, however, remains the bedrock upon which they will build their success. Tonight they blunted the Bulls through an organised and brutal effort. They looked shaky under the high ball at times in the first half, but outside of that were rarely troubled.
The Bulls have big problems. Some of their players should have been playing club rugby this afternoon, not running out in front of a few thousand faithful in Cape Town. How coach Pine Pienaar fixes deeply rooted problems in the week ahead will be decisive.
WP started strongly, replacement scrumhalf Nic Groom (Dewaldt Duvenage was stretchered off with what looks a serious knee injury) sniping around the ruck fringe after a couple of phases. Flyhalf Demetri Catrakilis kicked the conversion to go with an earlier penalty, but Bulls pivot Louis Fouché responded with two three pointers to reduce the defict. That is as close as they would ever come.
The match laboured along until just before the break when a powerful rolling maul culminated in WP captain Deon Fourie crossing the whitewash. Catrakilis banked the extras to give his side a 17-6 half-time lead.
WP produced their best move of the game after the restart, depleting the Bulls' defensive line through numerous phases before JP du Plessis offloaded brilliantly to set up Marcel Brache for the score. Catrakilis converted to give WP a lead that the Bulls never looked like overturning.
Damian de Allende ensured the five points, finishing a slick backline move and Du Plessis kept the scoreboard ticking for the hosts with a clinical score. WP settled for the mauling they had inflicted on their northern nemesis thereafter. They must build on this impressive performance as they go in search of a home semi-final.

The Springboks will lose both Rugby Championship matches in Australasia.
And they will beat the Wallabies and All Blacks in South Africa.
I also think the Springboks will run the All Blacks closer in Auckland than most think, and lose by more in Brisbane against the Wallabies than most think.
Here's the thing: South Africa's players always find that something extra; that something special when fronted with the challenge of the Haka and the black jersey.
It goes back to past generations and the glorious battles between the two greatest rugby nations.
South African players measure their status on how they do against New Zealand. Playing Australia is just another Test match. Playing New Zealand is an occasion.
I spent three years working with the Boks as Communications Manager and have reported on the Boks since 1992. There's something in the Bok psyche that is always different for a Test against the All Blacks.
Unfortunately, the passion and precision hasn't always been there for the Australians. Brisbane, in particular, has not been a great tour venue for the Boks in the professional era.
The Boks have played there six times and taken a beating six times. The average score is 32-9 to the hosts and while I don't expect the result to be as emphatic this Saturday I still expect Australia to win.
The Boks are an improving side. They are unbeaten in eight Tests, with four of them having been played overseas.
They are better at this juncture of 2013 than they were in 2012. Those players, new to international rugby, are a year more experienced and in most cases a year better.
But they are still not good enough to be spoken of as a side expected to win successive Tests in Australia and New Zealand.
The 2009 Tri-nations-winning Springboks were among the best South African squads in the professional era and even they took a 23-6 beating in Brisbane at SunCorp stadium.
It is the one venue that gives the Australians something extra. The stadium is like a modern Newlands and the crowd is very close to the field. It makes for a fantastic atmosphere, but it is the only rugby stadium in Australia where, as the opposition, you really get a sense you are the visitors.
The crowd gets into the face of the opposition player, the Queensland rugby tradition is probably the strongest among the Australian regions and the fast paced surface does aid the Australians.
The All Blacks have been successful at SunCorp stadium and the British and Irish Lions sneaked a win when Kurtley Beale botched a penalty kick in the last minute to win the 1st of the three Tests.
No other team has enjoyed success in Brisbane against the Wallabies, especially the Boks. Remember the 49-0 horror show of a few years back?
A week ago I wrote the Wallabies were not as bad as many make them about to be and, after watching the Boks struggle in Mendoza, the South Africans currently aren't quite as good as we'd want them to be.
They will get better as a unit. Of this I have no doubt and I wouldn't hesitate for a minute picking the Boks to win at home against the very same Wallabies, but in Brisbane I just don't have a similar confidence.
There are some fantastic individual performers among the Boks, but then Australia, for all their 2013 woes against the Lions and All Blacks, also have some super players.
Bryan Habana, Jean de Villiers, Morne Steyn, Adriaan Strauss and Jannie du Plessis have been consistently good among this season's Boks, which means there's an awful lot that have been a mixture of magical and mediocre in the Test wins against Italy, Scotland, Samoa and Argentina.
The Bok pack should have an advantage in the scrums. The lineouts will be evenly matched and the breakdown is an area I believe will favour the hosts.
Wallabies scrumhalf Will Genia struggled against the All Blacks, more because of the pressure of the Kiwis than poor form, but I have reservations about the Boks ability to impose a similar strangle on Genia.
Genia remains the greatest threat to the Boks, especially on his home track in Brisbane.
Israel Folau will also have a greater influence than he had against the All Blacks.
I'd be more bullish about the Boks' prospects in Brisbane if Fourie du Preez was at scrumhalf and if the loose-forward mix included Schalk Burger in his prime.
Willem Alberts, in the Bok pack, is expected to make way for one of Marcel Coetzee or Siya Kolisi, but like Sam Cane is no Richie McCaw, the South African duo are not Schalk Burger when it comes to menace and impact.
The Boks won't be bad in Brisbane, but they won't be good enough to win.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To assess your risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD); to monitor treatment
When to Get Tested?
Screening: for adults, every five years; for youths, once between the ages of 9 and 11 and again between ages 17 and 21
Monitoring: at regular intervals when risk factors are present, when prior results showed high risk levels, and/or to monitor effectiveness of treatment
Sample Required?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in your arm or from a fingerstick
Test Preparation Needed?
Typically, fasting for 9-12 hours before having your blood drawn is required; only water is permitted. Follow any instructions you are given.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Lipids are a group of fats and fat-like substances that are important constituents of cells and sources of energy. A lipid profile measures the level of specific lipids in the blood.
Two types of lipids, cholesterol and triglycerides, are transported in the blood by lipoprotein particles. Each particle contains a combination of protein, cholesterol, triglyceride, and phospholipid molecules. The particles measured with a lipid profile are classified by their density into high-density lipoproteins (HDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL).
Monitoring and maintaining healthy levels of these lipids is important in staying healthy. While the body produces the cholesterol needed to function properly, the source for some cholesterol is the diet. Eating too much of foods that are high in cholesterol, saturated fats, and trans unsaturated fats (trans fats) or having an inherited predisposition can result in a high level of cholesterol in the blood. The extra cholesterol may be deposited in plaques on the walls of blood vessels. Plaques can narrow or eventually block the opening of blood vessels, leading to hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and increasing the risk of numerous health problems, including heart disease and stroke. A high level of triglycerides in the blood is also associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), although the reason for this is not well understood.
A lipid profile typically includes:
- Total cholesterol —this test measures all of the cholesterol in all the lipoprotein particles.
- High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) — measures the cholesterol in HDL particles; often called "good cholesterol" because it removes excess cholesterol and carries it to the liver for removal.
- Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) — calculates the cholesterol in LDL particles; often called "bad cholesterol" because it deposits excess cholesterol in walls of blood vessels, which can contribute to atherosclerosis. Usually, the amount of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) is calculated using the results of total cholesterol, HDL-C, and triglycerides.
- Triglycerides — measures all the triglycerides in all the lipoprotein particles; most is in the very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL).
Some other information may be reported as part of the lipid profile. These parameters are calculated from the results of the tests identified above.
- Very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) — calculated from triglycerides/5; this formula is based on the typical composition of VLDL particles.
- Non-HDL-C — calculated from total cholesterol minus HDL-C.
- Cholesterol/HDL ratio — calculated ratio of total cholesterol to HDL-C.
An extended profile (or advanced lipid testing) may also include low-density lipoprotein particle number/concentration (LDL-P). This test measures the number of LDL particles, rather than measuring the amount of LDL-cholesterol. It is thought that this value may more accurately reflect heart disease risk in certain people. For more, see Common Questions #5 or the article on Lipoprotein Subfraction Testing.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. Sometimes a drop of blood is collected by puncturing the skin on a fingertip. This fingerstick sample is typically used when a lipid profile is being measured on a portable testing device, for example, at a health fair.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
Typically, fasting for 9-12 hours before having the blood sample drawn is required; only water is permitted. Follow any instructions you are given.

Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

Les cassoles
I love my everyday bowls, which were gifts from my friend Kate who lives in Gascony. They're from a semi-local potter which makes cassoles, the bowls for preparing Cassoulet. But I've loved these little fellas forever and use 'em for my daily soup and noodle bowls. I've posted pictures of them on the site and folks have asked me where oh where they can find them. (Here's one site.) But because they're somewhat fragile to ship, and rather heavy, you might want to consider hauling them back from France yourself if you don't live here*. However I came across them at the J'Go stand in the Marché Saint Germain des Près in the 6th. If you want them, and are coming to Paris – bring bubble wrap! (And some extra cash; they're €24 each.) They also stock cassoles in multiple sizes at La Tuile à Loup, a great French pottery shop in Paris.

Seaplane used to deliver supplies to remote areas

Genna Martin / The Herald
Andrew Anderson and daughter Leyna, 2, check out the cockpit of Mission Aviation Fellowship's new Quest Kodiak seaplane Sunday during a dedication ceremony on Lake Stevens. Anderson's parents were MAF missionaries when he was growing up. MAF will use this plane and another they hope to acquire in the next year to support missions to isolated villages in Indonesia.
An amphibious Quest Kodiak descended on Lake Stevens recently so donors and other supporters of the Mission Aviation Fellowship, which owns the plane, could get a look.
The Christian missionary organization, based in Nampa, Idaho, uses small aircraft to get supplies and people into the remote areas of developing countries.
The plane was moored Sunday at the home of Denny and Darlene Brawford, who live on Lake Stevens. About 75 people attended the viewing.
Denny Brawford, a retired 747 pilot for Pan Am and United, flew missions for the fellowship in 2004 and 2005. He still raises money and acts as an ambassador for the group.
Brawford, 73, was invited to fly the $2 million Kodiak from Paine Field to his home and back.
"It's beautiful," he said. "This airplane is really amazing. It performs even better than advertised, and it's very stable."
In another Snohomish County connection, both the Kodiak plane and its composite floats were designed by Tom Hamilton, a former Lake Goodwin resident.
Hamilton now lives in Idaho, where he founded two aircraft companies -- Priest River-based Aerocet and, later, Quest, which is based in Sandpoint.
Hamilton, 61, now devotes his time to Aerocet, which specializes in building light composite aviation floats.
The floats on the new Kodiak are made of a mix of graphite and fiberglass. The floats have an advantage over traditional metal ones because they're lighter and don't have seams that can leak or rivets that can rust, he said.
"We really do stand behind what (the fellowship) does," Hamilton said. "Their focus is to help people all over the world with food and medicine, they carry the gospel of Christ and we're behind all of that."
The Mission Aviation Fellowship, formed in 1945, has 57 planes in all, spokeswoman Dianna Gibney said.
The group specializes in getting equipment and training to Christian ministers and congregations in isolated regions. The fellowship has done work in 14 nations, including Indonesia, Haiti, Mali, Mozambique and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, she said.
The organization also is hired by other relief groups to fly supplies and workers into areas where they're needed, Gibney said.
After the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the group's headquarters there was used as a base of operations from which to distribute supplies to the stricken island nation, according to Gibney.
In Indonesia, the Mission Aviation Fellowship uses two Cessna 185 floatplanes to reach isolated villages in the Kalimantan region.
Those two planes are 51 and 44 years old, however, and the plan is to replace one of them with a Kodiak.
The new plane is larger, seating 10. It also can use jet fuel, which is cheaper and more plentiful than "avgas," the aviation fuel used by most small planes, Gibney said.
The floats on the Kodiak that visited Lake Stevens were installed to test how they work on that type of aircraft, she said. The plane will have the floats removed and fly to landing strips in Papua, Indonesia. The next Kodiak purchased by the group will be fitted with the floats and used in the Kalimantan region, she said.
The Kodiak planes cost $2 million with the floats, $1.5 million without, Gibney said.
At Sunday's event at the Brawfords', eight people won a lottery for a quick ride in the plane.
The event was "just to show the plane to our supporters and give them a chance to see it," Gibney said.
"We have supporters around the country who very much have a heart for Mission Aviation Fellowship and the work we do."

Journal Articles
Does Copyright Enforcement Encourage Piracy?
2010, Journal of Industrial Economics
Rick Harbaugh, Rahul Khemka
More intensive copyright enforcement reduces piracy, raises prices, and lowers consumer surplus. We show that these results do not hold regarding the extent rather than intensity of enforcement. When enforcement is targeted at high-value buyers such as corporate and government users, the copyright holder charges super-monopoly prices, thereby encouraging low-value buyers to switch to inferior pirated copies. Extending enforcement down the demand curve broadens the copyright holder's captive market, reduces prices toward the monopoly level, and increases sales of legitimate copies. Since more extensive enforcement increases both profits and consumer surplus over some range, the standard tradeoff between the incentive to generate intellectual property and the welfare cost of monopoly power is avoided. Technologies such as digital rights management which allow for more extensive copyright enforcement can sometimes benefit consumers even apart from their effects on the incentive to generate intellectual property.

Seeking Common Ground
During the Los Angeles riots, Angela Oh, a Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer and emerging spokeswoman for Korean-Americans, pleaded on television and in the press for Asian-Americans and African-Americans to work together to overcome the economic, political, and social forces pushing them apart. She appeared on local public television, Donahue, and Nightline, where she criticized President Bush for lack of leadership and wrote numerous articles for the Los Angeles Sentinel and the Los Angeles Times.
"I feel very strongly that people are capable of coming together," said Oh.
A native Angeleno, Angela Oh made a commitment to help cure the problems of Los Angeles. California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown appointed her a co-counsel to the Assembly Special Committee on the Los Angeles Crisis, which is studying post-riot development. Recently, the committee has held hearings on issues such as banking and finance, mass transit, urban planning, and insurance.
In her after-work activities, Oh emerges as an eloquent Korean community spokeswoman. She is president of the Los Angeles Korean-American Bar Association and the Women's Organization Reaching Koreans, a group she co-founded to help Korean women balance the demands of a career and a family.
Please join us for what should be a very interesting evening. The reception starts at 5:30, the dinner is at 6:00, and the speech begins at 6:45.

The Athenaeum is proud to present Dr. Stephen Saunders, a scientist who has earned world-wide recognition. Dr. Saunders currently is project scientist for the Magellan Project. Dr. Saunders came to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 1969. Since that time he has worked on many space programs related to geology and remote sensing.

In 1978 he became project scientist for Venus Orbiting Imaging Radar, an ambitious program canceled in 1981 in a cost-saving measure by then President Reagan The mapping mission was again proposed as the Venus Radar Mapper and got a new start in 1983. Dr. Saunders' scholarship also includes the study of extraterrestrial life. Please join us for what should prove to be a very interesting address. The reception and dinner will begin at 5:30, followed by Dr. Saunders' presentation at 6:45.
Social Agendas and the Diversity of Literature
The Gould Center for Humanistic Studies is pleased to welcome John M. Ellis to CMC. Dr. Ellis, professor of German at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and literary editor of the controversial new publication Heterodoxy, will address some of the "political correctness" issues that have been the subject of much recent debate both within and outside of academe.
Professor Ellis brings to his discussion an expansive knowledge of literary and cultural history and an acute and encompassing critical vision that discerns the details without missing the architectonics- of argument or of art. Educated in London and Vienna, Dr. Ellis has published extensively in the U.S. and abroad. He has authored several books, including The Theory of Literary Criticism: A Logical Analysis (1974), One Fairy-Story Too Many: The Brothers Grimm and Their Tales (1983), and Against Deconstruction (1989). Ellis has won several academic awards, held office in a variety of professional associations, and performed editorial service for a number of presses and publications. His recently completed book, Language, Thought and Logic, will appear this coming spring.
We'd love for you to join us for what we're sure will be an eloquent, insightful, and stimulating presentation. Dr. Ellis's talk begins at 6:45 p.m., following a reception at 5:30 and dinner at 6:00. To attend the dinner, make a reservation by completing the enclosed form.
Days of Obligation: An Argument With My Mexican Father
Perhaps our most prominent Hispanic writer and intellectual, Richard Rodriguez stirred the national consciousness with the publication of his autobiography, Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez (1983), in which he forcefully argues against bilingual education and for the American ethos of assimilation. The son of Mexican immigrants to the U.S. and the product of the American education system, Mr. Rodriguez embodies the tension between the two vastly different cultures.
Richard Rodriguez spent his academic career at Stanford, Columbia, Warburg Institute in London, and U.C. Berkeley. He now works principally as a journalist-writer. Mr. Rodriguez is an associate editor with the Pacific News Service in San Francisco and an essayist with the MacNeil/ Lehrer Newshour. He is also a contributing editor for Harper's and for the "Opinion" section of the Los Angeles Times. His articles in the Los Angeles Times concerning the riots have been thoughtful and provocative, and his appearance at the Athenaeum will provide an interesting perspective to the "Los Angeles and Beyond" series.
If you plan to attend the dinner prior to the talk and discussion, you must reserve a place. Otherwise come at 6:45 for what should be a terrific evening.
29 Years Ago and the Questions Remain
"Who killed J.F.K.?" remains an undying question for many Americans. Carl Oglesby has spent the past fifteen years examining and writing about the Kennedy assassination and will address exactly what happened 29 years ago and what questions remain.
In 1972 Carl Oglesby co-founded the Assassination Information Bureau, a public-education organization. This bureau was instrumental in forcing Congress to re-open the Kennedy case in 1976. Oglesby asserts that "few people know that this investigation found that Kennedy was probably killed by a conspiracy." He published The Yankee and Cowboy War: Conspiracies from Dallas to Watergate (1976), which interprets the murder of Kennedy, and he has written numerous articles on the Kennedy case for Life, The Nation, The Washington Post, and the Boston Globe.
Carl Oglesby was an early leader in the movement against the Vietnam war. He was educated at Kent State and the University of Michigan and was president of Students for a Democratic Society in 1965-66. He has taught politics at Antioch, Dartmouth, and MIT.
We hope you'll join us for what the Boston Globe describes as a "spellbinding" presentation. Mr. Carl Oglesby will address "29 Years Ago and the Questions Remain" at 6:45 p.m. preceded by the reception and dinner at 5:30 and 6:00 p.m. To reserve your place at dinner, please fill out and return the enclosed coupon.
Ethics and Government
Tuesday, NOVEMBER 17, 1992
As election day nears, advocates of opposing candidates and causes wax ever louder in disagreement. One note of accord, however, rings deafly through the dissonance: political analysts, voters, and candidates-incumbents and challengers alike- agree that we are experiencing a crisis of confidence in those who do the governing. Political advisor, Alfred L. Stern will address the issues at the root of voters mistrust when he delivers the lecture in the Gould Center's series, "Moral Virtue and its Representation in Philosophical Tradition, the University and Public Life."
Dr. Stern has served as consultant to the Senate Committee on Government Operations, the Agency for International Development, and many other government councils and administrations. In 1976, Dr. Stem was appointed senior advisor for the Presidential Transition and served throughout the Carter administration as associate director of the domestic policy staff. He has written speeches for, and assumed leading roles in the campaigns of, several presidential candidates.
Since returning to academic life in 1981, Dr. Stem has been University Distinguished Service Professor and professor of philosophy at Wayne State University. He also developed a program at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service which examines the interaction between domestic and foreign policies. Besides teaching, Dr. Stern remains an important political advisor to such elected officials as Senator Bill Bradley and Congressman Richard Gephardt.
Dr. Stern's talk begins at 6:45, following a reception at 5:30 and dinner at 6:00. To attend the reception and dinner, fill out and return the enclosed reservation form.

MALDEF uses the law, community education, and research to protect the civil rights of Latinos in the United States. Ms. Hernandez has worked on civil rights and immigration issues over the past nineteen years. After graduating from the UCLA School of Law, she began her career as a staff attorney for the Los Angeles Center for Law and Justice. After three years she became directing attorney for the Lincoln Heights office of the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles. Before coming to MALDEF in 1981, Ms. Hernandez worked as a staff counsel for the United States Senate Judiciary Committee.
Ms. Hernandez serves on numerous boards and committees including California Leadership, the Inter-American Dialogue, the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, the National Committee on Innovations in State & Local Government Quality Education for Minorities Network, and The 2000 Partnership.
