<mask> (March 24, 1939 – December 24, 2009) was an American broadcaster best known nationally for The George Michael Sports Machine, his long-running sports highlights television program. Originally named <mask>'s Sports Final when it began as a local show in Washington, D.C., in 1980, it was nationally syndicated by NBC from 1984 until its final installment was aired on March 25, 2007. <mask> won a Sports Emmy in 1985 for his work on The George Michael Sports Machine. Early life and career
<mask> was born <mask> in St. Louis, Missouri, on March 24, 1939, the son of Margaret and Earl Herman Gimpel. He grew up near Tower Grove Park in the city's south side, and graduated from St. Louis University High School. While attending Saint Louis University, he worked as a Midwest promoter for several record labels such as Scepter and Motown. It was also during this time when he made his radio broadcasting debut on a one-hour Sunday night show at midnight on WIL, which invited individual SLU students to be the hosts every week.He earned a full-time job as a disc jockey at the station after he was judged to be the best of the group. His first radio appointment outside of his hometown was in 1962 at WRIT in Milwaukee, where he worked the 6-to-10 pm shift until he was reassigned to 5-to-9 morning drive time in early 1964. His next stop was at KBTR in Denver later in 1964, working under the name "King" <mask> for the first time. He earned the nickname due to his success in "ruling" evening radio. He became one of the original Boss Jocks at WFIL in Philadelphia when its new Top 40 rock and roll format debuted on September 18, 1966. He served as music director and evening deejay for the next eight years. WFIL, which promoted itself as "Famous 56" after the transition, ended WIBG's listener ratings dominance and became the city's most popular station by the summer of 1967.<mask> was the first Philadelphia rock and roll radio personality to read the scores of local high school football and basketball games on the air. He also helped to start the career of Howard Eskin by hiring him to be his engineer. Decades later, Eskin would be a contributor to The George Michael Sports Machine. On <mask>'s last WFIL show (on September 6, 1974) he played "When Will I See You Again" by the Three Degrees, the first time that the record aired on any radio station. The playing of this on his show broke the song into the mainstream, and within two months was a huge international hit, reaching number one in the U.K., and number two in the United States. <mask> was personal friends with the owners of Philadelphia International Records and the song's writers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. <mask>, noted for his energetic style, was hired by WABC in New York City; his first on-air stint there was on the evening of September 9, 1974.<mask> now not only was entering the nation's largest media market; he also succeeded radio legend "Cousin Brucie" Morrow, who had jumped to competitor WNBC. Several incidents from <mask>'s radio stint there have been chronicled in Morrow's autobiography. Even though he was reunited with Dan Ingram and Ron Lundy (colleagues from his WIL days in St. Louis), <mask>'s time at WABC, which ended on November 17, 1979, was mostly frustrating because he was no longer a music director who had any influence on a playlist which was much shorter than the ones with which he was more familiar. One of the highlights during his time at the station occurred when he anchored its coverage of the New York City blackout of 1977 after the music format was temporarily suspended for the night. His first experience in sports broadcasting also came in 1974 when he was a television announcer for the Baltimore Orioles on WJZ-TV. He declined an offer to work for the ballclub full-time in order to accept the WABC position. As part of the deal to bring him to New York, <mask> also worked for WABC-TV as the weekend sports anchor and a color commentator on New York Islanders telecasts for several seasons, paired mainly with Tim Ryan.He served as an occasional substitute on ABC American Contemporary Network's Speaking of Sports show whenever Howard Cosell, the primary commentator, was on vacation or assignment. Television career
As the primary sports anchor at WRC-TV in Washington from 1980 to 2007, <mask> was easily one of the most popular media personalities in the Washington area. <mask> got significant latitude in his programming, employing a bevy of segments some viewers  might consider old-fashioned, including his "Tuesday Replays" and "Wednesday Wrestling". He also had devoted extensive coverage to and was considered a significant influence in the popularity of NASCAR, broadcasting interviews with famous drivers such as Dale Earnhardt well before that sport became what it is today. An avid equestrian, <mask> also broadcast segments on bull riding and rodeo. He was the play-by-play announcer for most of the Professional Bull Riders's Built Ford Tough Series NBC telecasts during the 2003 and 2004 seasons, including the final day of the PBR World Finals each year. <mask> also covered the career of bull rider Lane Frost, who was killed at Cheyenne Frontier Days in 1989 by the bull he rode.<mask> covered the matchups between Frost and the undefeated bull Red Rock called the Challenge of the Champions. <mask> was inducted into the Cheyenne Frontier Days Hall of Fame in 2006 for his efforts. <mask>'s affable personality enabled him to land rare interviews with many aloof local and national sports personalities. For example, <mask>'s team at WRC-TV had been the only local sportscasters allowed to broadcast from inside the Washington Redskins' FedExField during the season. Two movies, 8 Seconds and The Rookie, were inspired by stories featured on The Sports Machine. <mask> made a cameo appearance in the former, as well as in The Silence of the Lambs and Tin Cup. The Sports Machine was also featured in There's Something About Mary.In November 2005, <mask> was seriously injured in a horseback riding accident. He broke several ribs and injured his wrists during the mishap at his Comus farm in upper Montgomery County, Maryland. <mask> resumed his duties in December 2005. Later career
<mask> left his role as WRC-TV's daily sports anchor on March 1, 2007, following a dispute with WRC-TV over layoffs of his staff imposed company-wide by NBCUniversal. The George Michael Sports Machine went off the air on March 25, 2007. He continued to host weekend sports panel shows such as Full Court Press (basketball season) and Redskins Report (football season) as well as interviews at Redskins Park on Mondays with Jim Zorn and Joe Bugel through December 2008. He was completely dropped from WRC-TV owing to budget cuts despite the fact Redskins Report was consistently one of WRC's top sports shows.He indicated at the time of his layoff that he would like to work on a panel show again but not on a nightly newscast. Personal life
He and his wife, Pat, whom he married in 1978 and who produced the Sports Machine, had daughters Cindi and Michelle and son Brad. <mask> died at age 70 at Sibley Memorial Hospital on December 24, 2009, after being diagnosed with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia two years prior. References

<mask> is an American lawyer and diplomat who served in the Obama Administration as Ambassador-at-Large to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons and as  Director of the Department of Justice's Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking (SMART Office). Public Service Career

Department of Justice (1993–2007)
After graduating from the University of Michigan Law School, <mask> was hired by the Department of Justice as a civil rights prosecutor. He investigated and prosecuted cases involving human trafficking, official misconduct, and hate crimes, as well as money laundering, organised crime, and alien smuggling. He became the Department's Involuntary Servitude and Slavery Coordinator and later the Chief Counsel of the U.S. Human Trafficking Prosecutions Unit upon its founding. During this time, CdeBaca developed the modern "victim-centered approach" to investigating human trafficking cases cooperatively with non-governmental organizations and those who advocated for workers and survivors of prostitution and sexual abuse. Among other cases, he prosecuted the high-profile "Deaf Mexican" forced labor case; the garment factory case United States v. Kil Soo Lee, the largest slavery case in US history; and the pathbreaking Cadena case, which applied the Thirteenth Amendment to forced prostitution and impelled legislative efforts to update the slavery statutes. CdeBaca also pursued other civil rights cases, for instance, obtaining the conviction of a man who used a Confederate Flag to intimidate an African-American family in the exercise of their housing rights.As a result of these cases, <mask> received the Attorney General's John Marshall Award from Attorney General Janet Reno and the Distinguished Service Award from Attorney General John Ashcroft. He worked with Senators Paul Wellstone and Sam Brownback, and with Representatives Chris Smith and Sam Gejdenson and their staff to incorporate the interagency model and victim-centered approach into the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000. In recognition of his work on behalf of survivors, he received the highest award of the victim services community, the Freedom Network's Paul & Sheila Wellstone Award. House Committee on the Judiciary
From 2007 to 2009, CdeBaca served on detail as Counsel to the House Judiciary Committee under Rep. John Conyers, Jr. In this role, CdeBaca advised Chairman Conyers and other committee members on immigration reform, civil liberties — especially the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act — and civil rights issues such as involuntary servitude. US Department of State
In March 2009, President Barack Obama nominated <mask> to be Ambassador-at-Large to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons. The United States Senate confirmed CdeBaca on 6 May 2009.As the director of the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, he led U.S. government activities in the global fight against contemporary forms of slavery. As ambassador, <mask> continued his victim-centered approach to human trafficking prosecution. He drove change across U.S. government agencies, leading the Cabinet-level President's Interagency Task Force on Trafficking (PITF) and the interagency Senior Policy Operating Group, resulting in the development of the US Victim Services Strategy, and Executive Order to prevent exploitation in government contracting. He published the "gold standard" snapshot of global anti-trafficking efforts, the Trafficking in Persons Report and conducted extensive bilateral and multilateral diplomacy, pressing for governments to apply the 3P paradigm of Prevention, Protection, and Prosecution, as set forth in the TVPA and the United Nations Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children. As in the Civil Rights Division, CdeBaca rooted his work as ambassador in the United States' own struggle against slavery, and supported efforts such as Historians Against Slavery, The National Trust for Historic Preservation's President Lincoln's Cottage where the Emancipation Proclamation was written, the Frederick Douglass Family Foundation, and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, whose film Journey to Freedom combined the story of 'Twelve Years A Slave''s Solomon Northup with modern abolitionists and survivors. In addition to pressing for more prosecution of traffickers and protection of victims, CdeBaca pushed for changes to the root causes that fuel modern slavery by addressing the impact of unregulated supply chains on forced labor and the culture of acceptance and exploitation that fuels sex trafficking. Through programs like Slavery Footprint, Ambassador CdeBaca increased attention on supply-chain transparency in agriculture, fisheries, mining, and garment sectors, challenging companies to "focus on the front end of their supply chains in the places from which they obtain raw materials to begin the fight against slavery."His testimony to the UK Parliament was heavily cited in the report from the Joint Committee on the Draft Modern Slavery Bill and included in the United Kingdom's Modern Slavery Act 2015. Department of Justice (2014–2017)
In November 2014, President Obama appointed <mask> as Director of the Justice Department's Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking (“SMART Office”) where he was responsible for implementing the Adam Walsh Act's comprehensive set of minimum standards for sex offender registration and notification in the United States. <mask> convened and supported law enforcement, policymakers, and academics to develop strategies and programs for combating sexual assault and protect communities, aligning scientific evidence on effective sex offender management and prevention with policy and practice. He spearheaded new methods of sex offender management, research, and prevention through the Office's Sex Offender Management Assessment and Planning Initiative (SOMAPI), Native American Sex Offender Management (NASOM) program, and campus sexual assault initiative. He worked to prevent international sex tourism through the passage of Representative Chris Smith's International Megan's Law, and developed new guidelines that balanced treatment and community safety in registration programs for juvenile offenders. Personal life
CdeBaca was raised on a cattle ranch in Iowa and was active in 4-H and politics from an early age, winning the 1984 National 4-H Beef Award  and supporting such candidates as U.S. Senator Tom Harkin.His family has been in what is now the United States since the explorations of Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca in 1527. In the ensuing years, his family has played a prominent role in New Mexico politics and culture, including the first Hispanic Governor Ezequiel Cabeza De Baca (1917), Lieutenant Governor <mask> (1937), and the education pioneer and Latina author Fabiola Cabeza de Baca. He graduated from Iowa State University and attended the University of Michigan Law School where he was editor of the Michigan Law Review. CdeBaca is Roman Catholic and has cited Gaudium et Spes and the Second Vatican Council as inspirations for his anti-slavery public service. In a 2009 interview with Catholic News Service CdeBaca said, "the notion of the church in the world is... about going out and really engaging the community, engaging the broader community." In a 2012 speech to Canadian parliamentarians urging a victim-centric approach to human trafficking prosecution, Cde Baca stated, "There is the notion in the Christian tradition that Jesus went out of his way not just to be seen with the woman in prostitution, but to honor her, to put in check those who would say she was not worthy of attention."

<mask> (; 1 October 1912 – 15 June 1992) was a Soviet historian, ethnologist, anthropologist and translator from Persian. He had a reputation for his highly non-orthodox theories of ethnogenesis and historiosophy. He was an exponent of Eurasianism. Life
His parents, the two prominent poets <mask> and Anna Akhmatova, divorced when <mask> was 7 years old, and his father was executed by Cheka, Bolshevik  secret-police, when <mask> was just 9. <mask> spent most of his youth, from 1938 until 1956, in Soviet labor camps. He was arrested by the NKVD in 1935 and released, but rearrested again and sentenced to five years in 1938. After serving the time, he joined the Red Army and took part in the Battle of Berlin of 1945.However, he was arrested again in 1949 and sentenced to ten years in prison camps. Aiming to secure his release, Akhmatova published a dithyramb to Joseph Stalin, which did not help to release <mask>, although it possibly prevented her own imprisonment. The Soviet secret police had already prepared an order for her arrest, but Stalin decided not to sign it. Relations between <mask> and his mother became strained, as he blamed her for not helping him enough. She described her feelings about the arrest of <mask> and the period of political repressions in Requiem (published in 1963). After Stalin's death in 1953, <mask> joined the Hermitage Museum, whose director, Mikhail Artamonov, he would come to appreciate as his mentor. Under Artamonov's guidance, he became interested in Khazar studies and in steppe peoples in general.In the 1950s and 1960s, he participated in several expeditions to the Volga Delta and to the North Caucasus. He proposed an archeological site for Samandar as well as the theory of the Caspian transgression in collaboration with geologist Alexander Alyoksin as one of the reasons for Khazar decline. In 1960, he started delivering lectures at Leningrad University. Two years later, he defended his doctoral thesis on ancient Turks. From the 1960s, he worked in the Geography Institute, where he would defend another doctoral thesis, this time in geography. Although the official Soviet authorities rejected his ideas and banned most of his monographs from publication, <mask> came to attract much publicity, especially in the Perestroika years of 1985–1991. As an indication of his popularity, the Kazakh president Nursultan Nazarbayev ordered the L. N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University (Евразийский Национальный университет имени Л. Н. Гумилёва, founded in 1996) to be erected just opposite from his own palace on the central square of the new Kazakh capital, Astana.Ideas
<mask> attempted to explain the waves of nomadic migration that rocked the great steppe of Eurasia for centuries by geographical factors such as annual vacillations in solar radiation, which determine the area of grasslands that could be used for grazing livestock. According to this idea, when the steppe areas shrank drastically, the nomads of Central Asia began moving to the fertile pastures of Europe or China. To describe the genesis and evolution of ethnic groups, <mask> introduced the concept of "passionarity", meaning the level of  activity to expand typical for an ethnic group, and especially for their leaders, at the given moment of time. He argued that every ethnic group passes through the same stages of birth, development, climax, inertia, convolution, and memorial. It is during the "acmatic" phases, when the national passionarity reaches its maximum heat, that the great conquests are made. <mask> described the current state of Europe as deep inertia, or "introduction to obscuration", to use his own words. The passionarity of the Arabic world, on the other hand, is still high, according to him.Drawing inspiration from the works of Konstantin Leontyev and Nikolay Danilevsky, <mask> regarded Russians as a "super-ethnos" which is kindred to Turkic-Mongol peoples of the Eurasian steppe. Those periods when Russia has been said to conflict with the steppe peoples, Gumilyov reinterpreted as the periods of consolidation of Russian power with that of steppe in order to oppose destructive influences from Catholic Europe, that posed a potential threat to integrity of the Russian ethnic group. In accordance with his pan-Asiatic theories, he supported the national movements of Tatars, Kazakhs, and other Turkic peoples, in addition to those of the Mongolians and other East Asians. Unsurprisingly, <mask>'s teachings have enjoyed immense popularity in Central Asian countries. In Kazan, for example, a monument to him was erected in August 2005. Historian Mark Bassin writes that Gumilyov was "not a credible theoretician... [and] his hypotheses are filled with inconsistencies, misunderstandings, and misapplications of the concepts he borrowed" (4) but that while his social theory is thoroughly problematic and lacks any sort of scientific or intellectual authority, his ideas are important to understand in that his theories of ethnos, ethnogenesis, and passionarity (among other concepts) have been massively influential and have had significant impact in a range of Soviet and post-Soviet contexts. Criticism
Several researchers, such as Vadim Rossman, John Klier, Victor Yasmann, Victor Schnirelmann, and Mikhail Tripolsky describe <mask>'s views as antisemitic.According to these authors, <mask> did not extend this ethnological ecumenism to the medieval Jews, whom he regarded as a parasitic, international urban class that had dominated the Khazars and subjected the early East Slavs to the "Khazar Yoke". This last phrase he adapted from the traditional term "Tatar Yoke" for the Mongol domination of medieval Russia, a term <mask> rejected for he did not regard the Mongol conquest as a necessarily negative event. In particular, he asserted that the Radhanites had been instrumental in the exploitation of East Slavic people and had exerted undue influence on the sociopolitical and economic landscape of the early Middle Ages. <mask> maintained that the Jewish culture was by nature mercantile and existed outside and in opposition to its environment. According to this view, Jews share a specific way of thinking, and this is associated with the moral norms of Judaism. According to Gumilyov, the medieval Jews also did not bear arms themselves, but waged wars by proxies or mercenaries. Personal life
Gumilyov identified himself as an Orthodox Christian.Gumilyov married in 1967, the year after his mother died. Works

Bishop <mask> (born May 10, 1955)  is founder of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Sudan and the non-profit Water is Basic. A former child soldier, Taban holds a diploma in civil engineering and an advanced diploma in theology. He served as a colonel in the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) during the second civil war before becoming an advocate for peace who is widely respected by the governments of Sudan and South Sudan. The Bishop's ministry has focused on building wells, orphanages, schools, and health clinics, as well as advocating for the Arms Trade Treaty. From 2003 to the present, Bishop <mask> has served as the president of the Sudan Evangelical Alliance. He and his wife Annegrace live in Yei South Sudan with their five adopted children. Early life
Taban spent the first 40 years of his life in war.On the day he was born, a massacre in his hometown of Yei forced his mother to flee into the jungle where she hid with her newborn for the first three days of his life. From the ages of 8 to 13 he was forced to serve as a child soldier in Sudan's first civil war until his family helped him escape to Uganda. While in Uganda and as a soldier in the second war, Bishop was condemned to death; he was released upon the word of a ranking official that he'd led to Christ. Taban went on to earn a degree in civil engineering and an advanced degree in theology. During Sudan's second civil war, he served as a colonel in the SPLA and founded the army's chaplain's corp. In 1990 <mask> founded the Presbyterian Church in his province and was elected the national bishop of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in 2003. The Bishop was also elected president of the Sudanese Evangelical Alliance in 2004, a position he still holds.The Bishop is married to Annegrace <mask>, who served as a captain in the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA). She holds a degree in theology and heads the Christian Women's Empowerment Program, the largest women's church organization in South Sudan. Bishop <mask> and Annegrace live in Yei with their five adopted children. Ministries
One of Bishop <mask>'s ministries, Water is Basic, was born out of a 2006 peace conference between pastors from Sudan and South Sudan. Access to clean water is one of the major challenges facing South Sudan and threatening its stability. Most water extracted from local rivers host parasites and other diseases, which results in widespread illness among local populations. Water is Basic has built nearly 500 wells across South Sudan since 2008, providing clean water to approximately 10% of the population.The non-profit operates through a sustainable model that requires local communities to finance the repair and maintenance of the wells and creates jobs by hiring local Sudanese workers. Proceeds from the wells fund job training businesses, orphanages, health clinics, and schools throughout the country. The Bishop, with American Evangelical support, has helped establish close to 200 churches and two orphanages in southern Sudan. The Bishop is the Sudan Project Director of Basic Ministries International, an Evangelical organization that has started churches across South Sudan and has drilled more than 400 water wells in communities. Bishop <mask> has also delivered humanitarian relief to Jonglei state, an area where intertribal conflict has displaced hundreds of thousands of people over the past years. He has built a small hospital there and has set up livelihood projects in communities from all of the groups to help address poverty. Another ministry in Sudan, His Voice Global, works to house and educate orphans in the region.In an effort to make that ministry financially independent and operationally successful, Bishop <mask> was an instrumental part of the establishment of Lion of Judah Trucking Company, which now completely supports three orphanages financially. As of 2010, the trucking company has been able to keep them self-sustained. The Bishop is also a leader in the ongoing peace process in Jonglei state between warring ethnic groups. Despite his strong Christian faith, Bishop <mask> encourages reconciliation and cooperation among people of all religions. "For people to move away from violence, people need to see beyond religious differences," he says. The nation-building projects, including the wells, schools, and clinics, do not discriminate against any religions or require people to be of a particular religion to receive clean water or services. Broker for peace
In 2012, United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Bishop <mask> as part of a trip to urge Sudan and South Sudan to resolve an oil dispute that threatened to undermine existing peace agreements.Bishop <mask> was a prominent public voice urging South Sudan to resume oil exports to the north and brokering peace between the two governments. The Bishop was also a strong advocate for the international Arms Trade Treaty, and traveled to New York for the treaty's final negotiations at the UN before its successful adoption. There, he was invited to address the full UN General Assembly on the need for an International Arms Trade Treaty. In September 2013, Bishop <mask> was selected to receive the prestigious Global Citizen Award by the Clinton Foundation to be presented during the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting in New York City. In honor of receiving the award, Bishop <mask> sat down for an interview with David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network. Then, after the ceremony, the Bishop sat down with Secretary Clinton for an interview. He was honored for his vision and leadership in addressing global problems, which range in scope from the Arms Trade Treaty to access to clean water in Sudan to work with orphanages.He is praised as a respected broker for peace in both North and South Sudan, and the Clinton Foundation Global Citizens Award reflects that commitment.

<mask> (born March 28, 1967) is a former radio program host, documentary film writer/director, and conservative journalist. <mask>'s most prominent work in radio has been as the evening (7-10 PM) host of a radio talk show called The <mask> Show on KFI AM 640 in Los Angeles, California, from January 12, 2004, until November 13, 2007. Talkers Magazine listed <mask> as number 54 on their "Heavy Hundred" list of the most important U.S. radio talk show hosts in 2007. He co-hosted, with Leah Brandon, a Sunday evening radio program, the <mask> and Leah Show, which was nationally syndicated and in 2016, was considered the 99th most influential talk shows by Talkers Magazine, and a staff columnist for Mediaite. He makes appearances on television cable news as a conservative pundit. Early life and education
<mask> was born in a U.S. Army post in Heidelberg, Germany, and grew up as the eldest son of a financial manager in the small village of Washington Crossing, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He was a standout golfer in high school, being named High School Golfer of the Year by the Bucks County Courier Times.In 1985, <mask> graduated from the Catholic Holy Ghost Preparatory School located in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. He then attended Georgetown University, graduating in 1989 with a degree in Government and a minor in Theology and Philosophy. While attending Georgetown, he lettered in golf for three years. Concerning his family's religious background, Ziegler has stated that he "grew up in an incredibly, very strict Roman Catholic family on both sides, my mother and my father's side. I've got numerous aunts who've been in the convent. I went to Catholic high school, Catholic college, as did almost all of my relatives, so, I mean, I'm very steeped in Catholicism". Ziegler is, however, an agnostic, referring to himself as a "recovering Catholic".Career
After graduating from college, <mask> became a sportscaster, moving his way up to a full-time position at WTOV in Ohio. He left the position to write a book about high school football in Steubenville, Ohio, called Dynasty of the Crossroads. After the book, he took a position as a sportscaster at WRAZ in Raleigh, North Carolina, but was fired in 1995 after making what he describes as an "incredibly tame" joke about his belief that O. J. Simpson was guilty. He then began a career in talk radio, working at various stations before ending up at WWTN in Nashville, Tennessee, where he was fired after having said the word "nigger" on the air, in, according to <mask>, "a rather academic discussion about the way whites and blacks view each other". Ziegler has explained this event as him referencing what the boxer Mike Tyson said at a press conference, where Tyson referred to himself using that word. He then began writing columns for The Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News and co-hosted a talk show on Comcast's CN8 Television Network, which later resulted in his winning a regional Emmy. In 2002, wanting to return to radio, <mask> was hired by Louisville, Kentucky, radio station WHAS.Once again, his tenure did not last long, as during a Ask John Anything segment, he discussed Darcie Divita, a former LA Lakers cheerleader and WDRB morning television host with whom <mask> had a relationship until Divita broke up with him. In 2003, while still employed by WHAS, he joined forces with Louisville Democrat and current 3rd district Congressional Representative <mask>gler, with Yarmuth taking the progressive side and <mask> the conservative side. This gig lasted through November of that year. In 2006, <mask> supported the Yarmuth election campaign for Kentucky's 3rd congressional district, both financially and as a political adviser. Yarmuth won the election to Congress, defeating his incumbent Republican opponent Anne Northup. On January 12, 2004, <mask> began work at KFI as a late evening host. As both WHAS and KFI are owned by Clear Channel, this placed him in the unusual situation of having been fired and re-hired by the same company within a short time frame.He moved to the 7-10 p.m. slot on February 21, 2005. In November 2007, he left KFI. <mask> was the focus of David Foster Wallace's cover story in the April 2005 Atlantic Monthly, which examined the American talk radio industry through the lens of The <mask> Show. <mask> viewed the article as "a partial hit piece;" in response to the article, he wrote an obituary of Wallace following his death in 2008, stating that Wallace "was an overrated writer in life. His suicide should not be used to elevate him even further beyond what he deserved, in death." The <mask> Show

KFI AM 640
<mask> was the evening (7-10 PM) host of a radio talk show called The <mask> Show on KFI AM 640 in Los Angeles, California from January 12, 2004 until November 13, 2007. The program was mostly news-based political commentary, but it also brought up other issues such as events happening in <mask>'s personal life.The <mask> Show was advertised as Getting it Right at Night and a common catchphrase that <mask> used to describe the show was "three hours of rationality in a world of ever increasing insanity". <mask> was suspended for two days in 2006 following an on-air confrontation with <mask> of KFI's <mask> and Ken Show. On November 13, 2007, the day after he announced his departure from KFI, <mask> broadcast his last show. He told a reporter that the decision was due to mental and physical exhaustion, and to his work on a documentary. KGIL 1260 AM
In June 2009, <mask> began a show on Los Angeles news/talk radio station KGIL 1260 AM, which ran from 11 AM until 1 PM. weekdays. Nationally syndicated program
Beginning November 2, 2014, <mask> rejoined Brandon to host the <mask> and Leah Show on KHTS in Santa Clarita, California.In March 2015, the program became nationally syndicated through Envision Networks, with 24 stations nationwide doing business under the name Free Speech Broadcasting Network. The program moved its home base to KRLA in Los Angeles in August 2015. <mask> and Leah was named as one of the 100 most influential radio talk shows in the United States by Talkers Magazine in 2016, coming in at #99. Leah Brandon left the show in November 2016. Documentaries
After leaving his talk show on KFI AM 640, <mask> was involved in two documentary film projects. In August 2008, <mask> and producer David Bossie of Citizens United premiered a documentary co-produced, written and directed by Ziegler entitled Blocking The Path to 9/11, which revisits the political controversy about the ABC docudrama miniseries The Path to 9/11. Through interviews with the Path to 9/11 filmmakers and others, news clips about the controversy, and footage from the miniseries, the documentary makes the claim that Disney/ABC ultimately shelved plans to release a DVD of the miniseries as a result of pressure from the political left, specifically the Clintons.As noted in the documentary, Disney/ABC denies this and claims the move was merely a business decision. But commission member Richard Ben-Veniste said that the miniseries misrepresented facts presented in the 9/11 Commission report. Two FBI agents also criticized the film's accuracy. Thomas E. Nicoletti was hired by the filmmakers as a consultant, but quit, saying "There were so many inaccuracies...I'm well aware of what's dramatic license and what's historical inaccuracy," Nicoletti said. "And this had a lot of historical inaccuracy.'" Shortly after the 2008 U.S. presidential election, <mask> announced that a documentary titled Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected was in production (the full title was later changed to Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected And Palin Was Targeted). The film claims that a liberal bias in the media was responsible for Barack Obama being elected president.The film was originally released live on the Today Show on February 23, 2009. Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal documentary
<mask> released a 32-minute "mini-documentary" on the Penn State child sex abuse scandal, criticizing media accounts that Joe Paterno was aware of Jerry Sandusky's abuse of children. The documentary interviews former Penn State players Franco Harris and Christian Marrone, as well as Sandusky's attorney Joe Amendola and Penn State trustee Anthony Lubrano. They argue that Paterno was not fully informed of Mike McQueary's allegations and thus could not have "covered up" the abuse. If financial contributions are received, the documentary will be expanded into a full-length film. <mask> interviewed Sandusky from prison and debuted some of that interview live on the Today Show on March 25, 2013. <mask> steadfastly maintains that Sandusky was a "chaste pedophile" and committed no sexual acts with his victims.<mask>, who initially said he believed Sandusky was guilty    of the crimes he was accused of, now believes that Sandusky is innocent. <mask>'s prison interview with Sandusky came under fire by the Paterno family. Paterno family attorney Wick Sollers released a statement, describing it as "transparently self-serving and yet another insult to the victims and anyone who cares about the truth in this tragic story"

Mediaite column
<mask> has been a columnist at Mediaite since 2016. His contributions to the site have often been critical of President Donald Trump as well as Trump's progressive opponents. Relation with David Foster Wallace
The writer David Foster Wallace's article "Host"  is about Ziegler. It quotes
<mask> refuting a radio phone-in caller about O.J. Simpson "...because of the history of racism which is real in this country, and which is insidious, the one guy—-the one guy-—who gets the benefit of all of that pain and suffering
over a hundred years of history in this country is the one guy who deserves it less than anybody else..."
Wallace says it should be 400 years but <mask> lives in a bleak and merciless world.The essay was published twice in Atlantic magazine and is the final chapter in Wallace's book Consider the Lobster and Other Essays, the final published work before Wallace's suicide. Personal life
He is married to Alison Kallik; they have two daughters. See also

She began songwriting as a child and signed with Black River Entertainment in 2014, releasing her debut studio album the following year, The First Time. Her second studio album, Unapologetically, followed in 2017. <mask>'s first two albums have accounted for seven charted songs on the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts. She has four No. 1 singles on the latter, starting with her debut single "Love Me Like You Mean It", which made her the first female artist to send a debut single to the top of that chart since Carrie Underwood in 2006.

<mask><mask> (28 July 1903 – 19 July 1947) was an Austrian Nazi politician, Gauleiter as well as a Reichsstatthalter of Salzburg and Carinthia. He is the only Austrian governor who has ever held the same office in two separate states. Personal background
<mask> was a native of Sankt Veit an der Glan in Carinthia, the son of a German nationalist vocational teacher at a municipal Bürgerschule (secondary school). His father Norbert was a member of the German Democratic Party (Deutsche Demokratische Partei/DDP), and later the Greater German People's Party (Großdeutsche Volkspartei/GDVP). He attended the Realgymnasium in Klagenfurt and, having obtained his Matura degree, studied law at the University of Graz while he earned his living by working in a local banking institution or in general labour. After successfully completing his law examination, Rainer began working in a notary's office and completed his doctorate in 1926. From 1931 he worked as a notary public in Klagenfurt.He married Ada Pflüger on 21 May 1932. The couple had three daughters (born 2 December 1933, 9 May 1939 and 20 August 1942) and two sons (born 29 January 1935 and 31 January 1937). Political involvement

Since Rainer was a student in high-school, he engaged as a member of right-wing organizations in Sankt Veit and also participated in the armed Austro-Slovene conflict in Carinthia. Prior to his graduation from law school in Graz, he joined the Austrian SA in 1923 and joined a Burschenschaft student fraternity. In October 1930, Rainer joined the Nazi Party establishing the local branch in Sankt Veit. A close friend of Odilo Globocnik, he joined the Austrian SS at the end of 1933. In the same year he took up a post at the office of Nazi Gauleiter Hubert Klausner in Klagenfurt.As the Nazi Party had been banned by the Austrian government under Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss in 1933, Rainer was in August 1935 sentenced to one year in police custody, presumably for high treason. He was released early for good behaviour the following March, nevertheless like Klausner and his deputy Globocnik he had to step down from his administrative role in the party, transferring sole leadership to the rival Austrian Nazi leader Josef Leopold. As Leopold soon fell out of favour with Adolf Hitler, Rainer was in May 1936 again assigned to the Nazi Party's provincial body in Carinthia. Gauleiter and Reich Governor
In the course of the Austrian Anschluss to Nazi Germany on 13 March 1938, Rainer was recruited to serve as the organizational staff leader in the office of Josef Bürckel, the Reichskommissar responsible for the annexation of the Austrian lands. On 22 May 1938, <mask> was personally appointed by Hitler as Gauleiter of the Nazi Party in the Reichsgau Salzburg. Upon the 1938 elections, he also was elected a member of the Reichstag in Berlin. When World War II broke out, <mask> was appointed as Reich Defense Commissioner of Wehrkreis (Military District) XVIII, headquartered in Salzburg, which comprised his Reichsgau along with Reichsgau Carinthia, Reichsgau Styria and Reichsgau Tirol-Vorarlberg.This gave him control of civil defense matters over a very large area. On 15 March 1940, he was additionally appointed as the Reichsstatthalter (Reich Governor) of Salzburg, thus uniting under his control the highest party and governmental offices in his jurisdiction. Rainer remained in these offices at Salzburg until 27 November 1941, when he was succeeded by Gustav Adolf Scheel. On 27 November 1941, Rainer was appointed as the Gauleiter and Reichsstatthalter of Reichsgau Carinthia, which also involved ruling over the adjacent occupied Yugoslavian territories in Upper Carniola. On 16 November 1942, <mask> was made Reich Defense Commissioner of Carinthia. On 21 June 1943 he was promoted to SS–Obergruppenführer. After Italy abandoned its German ally on 8 September 1943, Rainer took over the Operational Zone of the Adriatic Littoral as High Commissioner.This act established him as the chief of the civil administration in the Italian region of Friuli, as well as in Yugoslavian Istria and Inner Carniola. Sentencing and death
On 7 May 1945, eight days after Hitler's suicide, Rainer transferred his official functions to an executive board and fled to the mountainous area around the Weißensee lake in Carinthia. After being given leads by the local population, British occupation troops arrested Rainer and transferred him to Nuremberg Prison in October 1945. On 12/13 June 1946 he appeared at the Nuremberg Trials as a defence witness for the former Austrian chancellor Dr Arthur Seyss-Inquart. On 13 March 1947, Rainer was extradited to Yugoslavia. Here he wrote an 80-page work on the Nürnberg Trials for Yugoslav authorities. On 10 July 1947, he was brought before a military court of the Yugoslav 4th Army at Ljubljana.He was found guilty of crimes against the people and sentenced to death by hanging on 19 July 1947. His widow received a death certificate from Yugoslavia after the war, which showed that same date. For decades afterward, the date of his execution was unknown and could only be speculated. In 2010, documentation came to light in the Slovenian National Archives in Ljubljana which may well have answered the question. An entry in the diary of Boris Kraigher, former interior minister in Slovenia, indicates that Dr Rainer was executed with a number of other prisoners in late November 1950. The long delay in Rainer's execution is explained by the fact that Tito's secret police utilized him as an informant. Upwards of 3,000 pages of his words, written from the Summer of 1947 through late 1949, and probably into 1950, have been deposited in Slovenian National Archives.Published works

<mask> (November 1746 – May 18, 1794), also known as <mask>, was an American Patriot. Raised by a widowed single mother, she married British Army officer <mask> at age 17. After the American Revolution began, her own Patriot leanings led her to offer the use of her house, the Hermitage, as a meeting- and resting-place for revolutionaries, including Alexander Hamilton, Marquis de Lafayette, and Aaron Burr. It was briefly used as the headquarters of George Washington, who counted her amongst his friends. Burr's visit to the Hermitage began a secret romance that, following the death of Prevost's first husband, led to marriage. The couple moved to New York City due to Burr's legal practice, and she acted as a crucial ally and confidante as he began his political career. She was known for her wit, unusually deep education and intellectual acuity; her death in 1794 left Burr without "his best ally in the political wars to come".Early life

Theodosia was born in November 1746 to Ann Sands Stillwell and Theodosius <mask>, an attorney, in Shrewsbury Township, New Jersey. Her mother's family was noted for their beauty and had lived in America since 1638; her father's family had arrived in 1702 when <mask> was sent to establish a Church of England ministry in Westchester County, New York. Theodosius died on 5 October 1746, several weeks before Theodosia was born. She was raised for five years by a single mother, before Ann married Philip de Visme, a Captain in the British Army. By the time de Visme died in 1762, the marriage had resulted in five children. De Visme ensured that Theodosia was tutored, with a "cosmopolitan education", and she learned fluent French, later writing letters to Burr and translating French political treatises. At the age of seventeen, Theodosia married Jacques Marcus <mask>, a Swiss native and the brother of Augustine Prévost, who was serving as commander of the British Army forces in New Jersey.They married in Trinity Church in 1763. They had five children: Sally, Anna Louisa, Mary Louisa, Augustine, and John. When Prevost was dispatched to the West Indies in the early 1770s, <mask> and the children remained in New Jersey. Revolutionary War

Despite her family's background (both her stepfather and husband were officers of the Royal American Regiment) Theodosia aligned herself with the Patriots, counting William Livingston and Robert Troup as friends and allies. During the Revolution Theodosia's home, the Hermitage – named after the cottage of Jean-Jacques Rousseau – became a gathering-place for American soldiers. When she heard that George Washington was in the area following the Battle of Monmouth she extended an invitation for him to stay there. He accepted this invitation in July 1778, and briefly utilized the Hermitage as his headquarters.The home and its culture were "decidedly French" due to Theodosia's background, and she was known for the intelligent conversation her French salons represented. Other visitors included generals Charles Lee and Jeremiah Wadsworth. During the war, with her estate being owned by her husband, it was at various times under risk of confiscation as Loyalist property; her powerful friends, allies and patrons, including Livingston and William Paterson, ensured the case was halted. <mask> first met Aaron Burr in August 1778 on a five-day sail to New York. The two became friends and Burr began regularly visiting <mask>'s home in New Jersey. By November 1778 he was writing to his sister to speak of Theodosia's "honest and affectionate heart" and their regular conversations; his constant visits to the Hermitage provoked gossip, with Paterson baldly referring to Theodosia as "the object of [Burr's] Affections". The two fell in love, and by 1780 were openly lovers, despite a 10-year age gap.In December 1781, Theodosia discovered her husband had died of yellow fever. <mask> and Burr's writings to each other covered politics, philosophy and feminism, with the two discussing both Rousseau and British feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. They modelled their relationship on a "mature affection", rather than the standard practice of marriages and relationships being based on social standing and convenience rather than love; this appealed to Theodosia's sense of independence and intellectual freedom. After Burr became licensed as an attorney, <mask> and he married on July 2, 1782 at the Hermitage, with Livingston personally issuing the license. Their first child, and the only one to survive to adulthood, was born on June 21, 1783, and also named Theodosia. Later life and death
The Burrs moved to New York City in 1783, moving to Broadway in 1790 as Aaron's legal career took off. This increase in work led to him travelling more, but their "intellectual partnership" did not suffer: the two wrote letters back and forth notable for their candor, with Theodosia constantly disagreeing with her husband's views, "never shy to point out his flaws", and Aaron treating her as he would any other intelligent person, sending her political books and newspapers on a regular basis that he thought she would enjoy.<mask>'s keen sense of observation and adeptness at "judging [Aaron's] peers on the national scene" made her a crucial ally in his political career, particularly after he joined the United States Senate in 1791. Both <mask> and Aaron had a "passionate commitment to education", and Theodosia educated her daughter as any wealthy male child would have been: she could read and write at three, studied Latin, Greek and French, and had read Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by age 10. Aaron handled more and more of this as <mask>'s health began to deteriorate. Her illness was not a shock – she had been ill as long as they had known each other – but by 1792 she was in regular pain, with doctors' prescriptions doing little to help. Aaron offered to resign from the Senate to spend more time with her, but she refused to allow it. She died on May 28, 1794 at the age of 47. She was buried in the now defunct St. John's Burying Ground, which was associated with Trinity Church.Aaron later wrote that she was "the best woman and finest lady" he had ever known. References

In addition to choreographing films like Disney's "Prom," “Music and Lyrics” with Drew Barrymore, and “Did You Hear About The Morgans” with Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker, Karaty currently serves as a Judge around the world on ratings hits "So You Think You Can Dance," "X Factor," "Everybody Dance Now," "My Name Is...," "Holland’s Got Talent," "The Ultimate Dance Battle" and "Belgium's Got Talent." <mask>'s incredible choreography and thought-provoking critiques have made him a worldwide fan favorite. <mask> was born just outside New York City to Broadway veterans Tom and <mask> so it's no surprise dance is a huge part of his life. Although his Broadway roots remain a tremendous influence in his life, he chose sneakers and hip-hop over Broadway ballads!<mask>'s unique path allowed him to infuse his work with the spirit of classic Broadway inspirations like Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire and trailblazers in the hip-hop and pop culture like Michael Jackson. During college at NYU, <mask> spent his “free” time teaching at the popular Tremaine Dance Conventions where he met friend and collaborator Wade Robson. During his junior year, <mask> made his Broadway debut in the smash hit “Footloose” and soon thereafter began dancing with Britney Spears on the MTV Video Music Awards and The Billboard Awards. After graduating from NYU with a B.A. in Journalism, <mask> decided it was time to make the move to Hollywood where he and Robson continued to collaborate. Their rise was fast and furious and included high-profile projects like Britney Spears’ first Pepsi commercial and the *NSYNC World Tour. <mask> then branched out on his own, choreographing Jessica Simpson's “Irresistible” and “Little Bit” music videos and serving as Artistic Director for her 2001 World Tour.He also worked with Kylie Minogue on many of her television appearances, as well as a long list of cutting-edge artists like Justin Timberlake and Usher. Although he quickly became known for his work in the pop music genre, Karaty broadened his reach by choreographing ground-breaking commercials for iPod, Best Buy, Mattel, Miller and many more. <mask>'s experience, combined with his gift for comedy, allowed him to move into the film industry where he choreographed “Music and Lyrics,”  “Malibu’s Most Wanted,” "Did You Hear About The Morgans” and Disney's 2011 release, "Prom." Beyond his role as a Judge on T.V. series around the world, Karaty has his sights set on producing and directing films, television and theater. He is currently in development on several film and television projects and even a Broadway production of his own!" With his wife Natasha, Karaty has two children, a daughter named Quinn, and a son named <mask>.<mask> has learned Dutch while working in Belgium and the Netherlands, but never speaks it on TV; therefore no one knows he speaks it. Career
He made his own Broadway debut in the musical Footloose during his junior year in college. During his senior year, he began dancing with Britney Spears. Karaty has appeared on the MTV Awards and the Billboard Awards, and was the sole choreographer for the 2002 American Dance Music Awards. Karaty is currently appearing as a judge on the Canadian and Dutch/Belgian versions of So You Think You Can Dance. Karaty also appeared on Bravo's fall 2009 series Launch My Line, a reality show that pairs professionals of a specific industry—in Karaty's case, dance/choreography—and experts in fashion design in order to create an apparel line.

<mask><mask> is an ecological economist. He currently holds the Chair of Public Policy and Governance at Vienna University of Economics and Business, appointed in 2010. He is also Editor-in-Chief of the academic journal Environmental Values. Career
<mask> studied economics at the University of Stirling gaining a Bachelor of Arts with Honours. His dissertation was entitled "Sulphur Emission and Deposition in Europe: A Problem of Transfrontier Pollution". He went on to study for a master's degree in interdisciplinary studies at the University of British Columbia with a thesis entitled "Measuring the Tangible Benefits of Environmental Improvement: An Economic Appraisal of Regional Crop Damages due to Ozone. He then completed a Ph.D. with Distinction in Economics at the University of Wyoming in 1993, specialising in Resource and Environmental Economics and Public Finance.His dissertation, "Intergenerational Transfers and Long-Term Environmental Damages: Compensation of Future Generations for Global Climate Change due to the Greenhouse Effect", was awarded the University of Wyoming Outstanding Dissertation in the Social Sciences, 1993. <mask> was elected vice-president of the European Society for Ecological Economics (ESEE) by the delegates at the inaugural meeting of the society held at Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France in 1996. He was elected to a second term by ESEE members at the Society General Meeting in Geneva, Switzerland in 1998. He then served two terms as ESEE President, 2000–2006, elected by postal ballot of the membership. During this time he helped write new democratic constitutions for both the ESEE and ISEE, established the ESEE Newsletter with Ben Davies as editor, set-up the societies committee structure and organised European conferences. From 1996 until 2001 he was a lecturer at the Department of Land Economy at the University of Cambridge and director of the research institute Cambridge Research for the Environment (CRE). He then moved to the University of Aberdeen where he held the Research Chair in Environmental and Rural Economics and was Head of the Socio-Economic Research Programme (SERP) at the Macaulay Institute of Land Use Research.In 2006 <mask> was appointed as Chief Executive Officers’ Science Leader at the CSIRO, Australia's federal government agency responsible for scientific research. After finishing a critical paper about emissions trading - which had already passed the peer review process - the agency intervened and pushed for substantial changes. The behaviour of CSIRO led to controversial debates within the scientific community and Nature reported extensively on the conflict. In the course of the controversy, <mask> left the agency at the end of 2009. Key Scientific Contributions
<mask> was one of the earliest economists to pay attention to human induced climate change, pioneering an alternative economics of the environment. He followed some aspects of the work of his doctoral supervisor, Ralph C. d’Arge, in exploring its economic and ethical implications with respect to intergenerational equity and justice. He built from this into issues of compensation for harm across generations and ethical limitations of the economic approach.Such topics appeared in his book Greenhouse Economics, which covers the history, science, economics, ethics and public policy relating to climate change. That work was also path-breaking in its highly critical reflections on mainstream economic approaches that use social cost-benefit analysis and of the work of William Nordhaus. In 2018 Nordhaus received the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences, or the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in memory of Alfred Nobel for this same work, which has since been strongly criticised by others
. <mask>’s work has developed in devoting attention to the social economic consequences of a broad range of environmental problems (e.g. acidic deposition, tropospheric or ground level ozone, greenhouse gases, conservation, ecosystem and species protection). His work on the economics of biodiversity was also amongst the first in the field. His work on ethical considerations in economics has included intra- and  inter- generational justice as well as non-humans and their treatment in economics.Behavioural concerns have been reflected in a series of articles on social psychology (sociology). He has also importantly incorporated a history of thought and philosophy of science perspective in his reimagining of the ontological and epistemological foundations of economics as a field. This has particularly stressed the incorporation of the social dimension as inextricably linked to ecological economic as a realist science. This approach he terms social ecological economics. Critiques of Mainstream Economics
Spash has developed extensive critiques of mainstream economic approaches to the environment. These cover its limited ethical foundations, its failure to address manifest problems with its own methods, problems with preference theory, the social problems of advocating economic growth in macroeconomics, the failings of consumer choice theory, and mainstream economists' general lack of realism
. Environmental Values
Spash has worked extensively on ecosystem valuation and was Editor-in-Chief of the journal "Environmental Values" (2006-2021).His early research explored the application of cost-benefit analysis to environmental change and especially air pollution damages. This research moved from work on acidic deposition to tropospheric zone to greenhouse gases and climate change, as evident in his dissertations and thesis. He co-authored an influential textbook on environmental cost-benefit analysis, but his work was increasingly critical of the approach. The approach to intergenerational ethics that is reduced down to a discussion over discount rates is exposed as obscuring the presence of implicit value judgements while claiming objectivity. This approach's fallacious reduction of strong uncertainty (social indeterminacy and ignorance) to weak uncertainty (probabilistic risk) is exposed in his book "Greenhouse Economics". Environmental Cost-Benefit Analysis, Contingent and Deliberative Valuation
Spash’s work in the area of environmental cost-benefit analysis (e.g. Hanley and Spash)
developed into the exploration of social psychology and motivations for environmental values.He employed contingent valuation to conduct empirical research in innovative ways that included ethical motives as well as attitudes and norms. At the same time his work revealed fundamental failures of contingent valuation research  and its employment for public policy by environmental economists. He moved into exploring the possibilities for alternative deliberative approaches, their combination with monetary valuation,
and the implications of deliberation for economic value theory. Spash cited the term deliberative monetary valuation (DMV) to summarise a set of approaches being employed to combine individualistic willingness to pay (WTP) assessments of the valuation of environmental damage and preservation with group approaches and various related methods. He importantly noted that social values are qualitatively distinct from the aggregate of individual values, highlighting an overlooked weakness in results gathered from DMV studies; that findings of DMV research elucidate the complexity of human value systems and preferences, which goes uncaptured by common economic conceptualisations and by the method itself; and that “exclusion and predefinition of values” inherent in commonly practiced DMV methods constrain or prevent the expression of value pluralism. An alternative “discourse based approach”  is proposed that address these methodological concerns (see also O'Hara 1996, 2001), and this involves reconceptualising DMV 'as a mutual agreement resulting from an interactive process involving the contestation of discourses'. Climate Economics
His climate economics involves realist and ethical critiques of mainstream economics and has targeted the work of David Pearce (economist), William Nordhaus, Richard Tol and others.He has deconstructed the work of Lord David Stern in both his Stern Review
 and under the New Climate Economy collective. His critiques of the economics of climate change include its intergenerational ethics, its approach to uncertain futures involving ignorance and indeterminacy, and social cost-benefit approaches to decision-making
. He has also criticized the mainstream economic approach to policy encapsulated under carbon emission trading, also known as cap-and-trade. His work in this area was censored by the government in Australia but finally released after a Senate vote defeated the government. Carbon trading is seen by Spash as failing both in theory and practice and in compulsory as well as voluntary forms. He has argued the Paris Agreement is a failure to address reality and not a great success on which to build. Spash has concluded in favour of rights-based approaches and regulation rather than utilitarianism and carbon trading.Biodiversity Economics
Spash also linked issues in valuation to ethical positions and refusals to trade-off species and ecosystem loss, and contrasted rights-based ethics with utilitarianism in conservation. He was one of the first economists to work on biodiversity valuation in economics. His work here developed approaches to empirically investigate ethically motivated refusals to trade-off species and ecosystems for money as expressed by the occurrence of lexicographic preferences
. This work on biodiversity economics also led to criticism of preference utilitarianism  and the spread of mainstream economics into ecology and conservation biology. In the early 1990s <mask> designed a survey conducted in Scotland on forestry to explore the valuation of biodiversity and the occurrence of protesting and refusals to make the trade-offs that economists had previously assumed were rational. He developed this further in studies of wetland re-creation in East Anglia and coral reef improvement in Curaçao. Willingness-to-pay responses from contingent valuation were found to be charitable contributions for many respondents, and not trade prices as economists assumed.The work expanded into attitudinal and social norm research using measures from social psychology and questioning various claims made about the results from contingent valuation. Related work questioned prominent environmental attitudinal scales used by social psychologists  and aspects of work by Daniel Kahneman on valuation. When "Biodiversity Economics: The Dasgupta Review" appeared in 2021, advocating natural capital, Spash produced critical deconstructions of the report. Social Ecological Economics
Spash’s research in the 2000s became directed towards the development of a paradigm shift to a social ecological economics. He highlighted the need for ecological economics to have firm foundations in philosophy of science and to link ontology to epistemology rather than follow an eclectic pluralism in economics. His key conclusions here support the need for integration of social, ecological and economic knowledge, and combining heterodox schools of thought in a structured methodological pluralism. This is seen as a way forward that emphasises “the structural aspects of economies as emergent from and dependent upon the structure and functioning of both society and ecology“.This conceptualisation rejects reductionist approaches and builds on interdisciplinarity (over mono- or multi-disciplinarity), while incorporating value incommensurability and value pluralism. His research recommends the philosophy of science of critical realism. <mask>’s research has highlighted problems arising from the conceptualisation of ecological economics as a simple combination of two disciplines (i.e. ecology and economics) that otherwise remain divorced from each other and unreformed by their interaction. He has developed this critique into an exploration of the divisions within ecological economics, and more generally the environmental movement, by defining three categories: social ecological economists, new environmental pragmatists and new resource economists. His work includes some empirical evidence on these categories. Moving beyond a simple division within the field, the social ecological economics category has become advocated as a new paradigm.Spash sees social ecological economics as the way forward for the field of economics in general.

After being dropped for one match against Nordsjælland on 24 October 2011, <mask> scored on his return three days later, in a 3–0 win over Bröndby in the third round of the Sydbank Pokalen, followed up by scoring his sixth goal of the season, in a 3–1 win over Odense BK. After being dropped from the first team for the match against Bröndby on 20 November 2011, he scored his seventh goal of the season, in a 2–0 win over Nordsjælland in the quarter–finals of the Sydbank Pokalen. Once again, <mask> was part of the club's defence squad to keep three clean sheets in a row between 11 March 2012 and 25 March 2012 against SönderjyskE, FC Midtjylland and Silkeborg IF. He then scored his eighth goal of the season, in a 5–0 win over HB Køge on 15 April 2012. After being dropped the next six matches, <mask> scored on his return on 13 May 2012, in a 2–2 draw against SönderjyskE. But he was dropped from the squad for the Danish Cup Final, as the
