Lawyers for Mayor Bloomberg are asking a judge to ban any reference to the Second Amendment during the upcoming trial of a gun shop owner who was sued by the city. While trials are often tightly choreographed, with lawyers routinely instructed to not tell certain facts to a jury, a gag order on a section of the Constitution would be an oddity.
Apparently Mayor Bloomberg has a problem with both the First and the Second amendments, Lawrence Keane, the general counsel of a firearms industry association, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, said.
The trial, set to begin May 27, involves a Georgia gun shop, Adventure Outdoors, which the city alleges is responsible for a disproportionate number of the firearms recovered from criminals in New York City. The gun stores owner, Jay Wallace, says his store abides by Georgia and federal regulations and takes steps to avoid selling firearms to gun traffickers. Mr. Wallaces store is one of 27 out-of-state gun shops sued by New York City, and the first to go to trial.
City lawyers, in a motion filed Tuesday, asked the judge, Jack Weinstein of U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, to preclude the stores lawyers from arguing that the suit infringed on any Second Amendment rights belonging to the gun store or its customers. In the motion, the lawyer for the city, Eric Proshansky, is also seeking a ban on any references to the amendment.
Any references by counsel to the Second Amendment or analogous state constitutional provisions are likewise irrelevant, the brief states.
Many Americans believe that the Second Amendment provides an individual the right to own a gun. Others believe that it provides no right to private gun ownership, but gives states the power to keep militias.
In a recent court deposition, Mayor Bloomberg said he believed the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights gives you the right to keep and bear arms. But in a recent brief to the Supreme Court, lawyers for Mr. Bloomberg argued that the amendment was not intended to vest armed power in citizens acting outside of any governmental military effort either federal or state.
In a statement sent via e-mail to The New York Sun, the citys criminal justice coordinator, John Feinblatt, said the issue at the upcoming Adventure Outdoors trial isnt the Constitution but whether the respondents broke federal firearms laws.
The right to bear arms has nothing to do with whether the respondents made straw sales, Mr. Feinblatt said.
A straw sale occurs when gun dealers sell to someone making the purchase on behalf of another often someone with a felony record, who is ineligible to own guns. The city sent an undercover team to simulate a straw purchase at Adventure Outdoors. Lawyers for the gun store say the two hidden cameras brought in by investigators malfunctioned less than halfway into the purchase and fail to show the precautions taken by the sales staff at the store to prevent a straw purchase.
Of the citys recent motion to preclude mention of the Second Amendment, a lawyer for Adventure Outdoors, John Renzulli, said, If you cant discuss the Bill of Rights in a court of law, where should we discuss these issues? Should we reserve it for the tavern?
Mr. Renzulli said the citys lawsuit did implicate the Second Amendment: The politics involved here is whether the city has the power to go into another state and control the lawful sale of firearms.
Still, Mr. Renzulli said he did not plan to oppose the citys request regarding references to the Second Amendment. Mr. Renzulli, who has defended suits against the gun industry in Judge Weinsteins courtroom before, said that in the past the defense has struck a deal with the plaintiffs on the matter: Lawyers for the gun industry wont mention the Bill of Rights to the jury, if the plaintiffs dont mention the National Rifle Association.
We usually say were not talking about the Second Amendment and youre not talking about the NRA as a huge lobbying group that controls the legislature, Mr. Renzulli said.
He said he expected a similar agreement to be struck in the Adventure Outdoors case.

At least Georgia is suing Bloomberg for violating federal law in their State by illegally purchasing guns, while trying to show that guns could be illegally purchased.

So they're arguing from the King George III position?
SAN FRANCISCO -- Bernie Ward, the most prominent liberal voice on Bay Area talk radio for more than two decades, admitted Thursday to distributing child pornography by e-mail in a plea deal that will send him to federal prison for at least five years.
Ward, 57, a former Roman Catholic priest, was a fixture on KGO-AM 810 for three hours every weeknight, known in recent years for his fervent denunciations of President Bush and the war in Iraq during his news talk show. He also hosted "God Talk," a Sunday morning program on religion, and was a prolific fundraiser for the station's charity drives.
But his career disintegrated Dec. 6 with the unsealing of a federal grand jury indictment, issued three months earlier, that charged him with two counts of distributing and one count of receiving Internet images of child pornography. KGO fired him Dec. 31.
At a 30-minute hearing Thursday in federal court in San Francisco, Ward admitted he was guilty of a single charge of distributing child pornography, saying it involved "exchanging an image of a minor engaged in sexually explicit activity" in December 2004. The plea agreement he signed, quoted in court, contained an admission that he had sent between 15 and 150 pornographic images via e-mail.
Hope his cellmate is a very large and very lonely man.

Ward initially pleaded not guilty and said he had downloaded a few pr0nographic images over several weeks as research for a book on hypocrisy among Americans who preach morality in public.
Well, good for you, Bernie! You've proved your point...
#5
I read the police transcript of the internet chat Bernie had with another person on line when the story broke months ago. He is a sicko, a maggot, and in his fantasies, or for real, referred to incidents with his children and their friends. This guy needs to fry. This stuff was bad.

And just in time, too, for the MAN BOY LOVE ASSOCIATION... episode on TV's SOUTH PARK!?

Before he became to hot to handle Michael Savage was on KSFO down the hall from KGO and Bernie "I'm exposing hypocrites" Ward (Exposing is the key word). Both stations are owned by the same group and share offices.
Isn't it funny that the defense of Ward (Bernie Weird) would be that he has done so much good. I'm sure some of the pedophile priest also did good but in the meantime they were bonking alter boys on the side.

"after he ran out of cash to complete surgery. "
Uhm ... so in China you literally pay as you go? And if you run out of cash in the middle of an operation they just stop? There is something here that rings "bull" with me.
#3
In other words, they generally don't START the operation unless they know they are going to finish, they certainly don't send someone home with an open chest. The cost of the sutures to sew it up closed is minimal compared to the rest of the operation.
#6
As is sometimes the case, abdominal wounds sometimes just won't heal. They are still gaping long after the surgery and need a special operation to close.
One of the first big breakthroughs in understanding digestion happened because a man was shot in the stomach, and had a gaping hole entering his stomach that did not heal.
A doctor paid him handsomely to be allowed to tie various foods on a string, that were then pushed through the opening, and after a time, withdrawn to see how much they had digested.
Medical knowledge advance a hundred years because of that guy.

Young adults in Europe deliberately binge on drink and drugs to improve their sex lives, research suggests. The researchers said although it was well known that use of alcohol and drugs was linked to risky sexual behaviour, Amazing! I'd never've guessed!
this study showed many young people were "strategically" binge drinking or abusing drugs to improve their sex lives. . . . "You see, when I get wasted it makes the girls look better."
Drunkenness and drug use were found to be strongly associated with an increase in risk taking behaviour and feeling regretful about having sex. Those who had been drunk in the past four weeks were more likely to have had five or more partners, sex without a condom and to have regretted sex after drink or drugs in the past 12 months. No way!
Cannabis, cocaine or ecstasy use was linked to similar consequences. . . . Duude! That, like, totally harshes my mellow.

Political Office In Alec Baldwin's Future?
(CBS) Now that actor Alec Baldwin is 50 years old, he might run for political office. Baldwin talks to 60 Minutes correspondent Morley Safer about that and other aspects of his life, including his very public divorce and custody battle, in a profile to be broadcast this Sunday, May 11, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
A decade ago, Baldwin was interested in politics, but said he was only 39 and all the people who ran the world were in their fifties. Since then, he has publicly dismissed the notion of running for office. A few weeks ago, he changed his mind. "There's other things I want to do [besides acting]. I mean, in a matter of weeks, I'm going to be 50," says Baldwin, who turned 50 on April 3. "Theres no age limit on running for office, to a degree. [It is] something I might do one day," says Baldwin. Such wisdom this man has! (Like Yoda my syntax I form!) A grateful nation weeps tears of joy and rushes out to rent Mini's First Time and Glengarry Glen Ross and A Streetcar Named Desire (1995 made-for-TV version) and the Knots Landing DVD Collection -- Season 6 from Blockbuster to work up enthusiasm for his forthcoming major policy addresses.

don't forget his staring role in "Team America".
#3
He should run. Too many Hollywood lefties prefer to be armchair quarterbacks leaving it to the few conservatives in Hollywood to run (Arnold, Gofer, Reagan, Bono to name a few).
Show us what you're made of Alec. Run for Governor or Senator or even plan a 2012 run for President. Perhaps Warren Beatty will be your running mate.
A lot of Nazi records here that have not been available to the general public until now. If you have an interest in possibly finding relatives lost due to the Holocaust, you will want to check this out. There are some links at the original story that may serve as a good starting point.
A mother and child separated. A father's war wound. An uncle's name on a list.
The unrelated and disparate items are among the discoveries made by 40 Jewish genealogists who spent the past week plumbing a trove of Nazi documents made public after 60 years.
For genealogists of Jewish families, the Holocaust is both a tragedy and a black hole, because so many of the 6 million Jewish victims disappeared without a trace. For years, researchers hoping to fill the gaps have longed to dive into the more than 50 million documents held in this German spa town and entrusted to the International Tracing Service, or ITS.
"The Nazis took away our names and gave us numbers. Our role is to take away the numbers and give back the names," Gary Mokotoff, a genealogist who helped organize the group from Israel, the U.S., Britain and Australia, said Thursday. "There is a wealth of information here."
For decades after World War II, the files were used only to help find missing persons or document atrocities to support compensation claims. But in November, the last of the 11 countries that govern the archive under the auspices of the International Committee of the Red Cross cleared the way for public access.
Since then, interest has skyrocketed. Erich Oetiker, deputy director of the archive, said while the staff of 400 continue to process some 1,000 tracing requests per day, there are now also near daily visits from historians or individuals eager to trace a lost person's fate or view an original document.
American genealogist Sallyann Sack suspected for years that the collection held answers to questions about her family. In the 1980s, she put in a request trying to trace the birth parents of her adopted cousin, who had survived Buchenwald as a 9-year-old boy, then been brought by her aunt and uncle to the United States. A form letter came back saying the search had turned up nothing.
But digging deeper during her time here, Sack was able to cross-reference the birth mother's second given name and access records of search requests made to the ITS since it opened in 1955 often detailed letters by individuals who reveal nuggets of family history while seeking a missing loved one.
"I found here that his mother, who was separated from him when he was less than five years old, also had survived," she said. "She came to the U.S. in the same year that he did, in 1949." The mother, if alive, would be 93 and Sack presumes she is dead. The cousin is in his 70s and still alive, but Sack asked not to identify him. "They never found each other," Sack said of her cousin and his mother, her voice breaking. "If these records had been opened earlier, they might have found each other. I could have found those documents 20 years ago, when she was still alive."
Oetiker says the archive is in constant contact with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C., as well as Israel's Yad Vashem both of which hold digitized copies of part of the collection along with the Polish Institute for National Remembrance.
The Washington museum has drawn up a list of more than 150 German words with English translations to help researchers read the documents: Arbeitslager (slave labor camp)... deportiert (deported)... mosaisch (Jewish)... auf der Flucht erschossen (shot while trying to escape).
Next month, a conference of historians is to meet here to map out the archive's unexplored contents and help determine how best to use the information.
Yet for some, who have struggled to piece together a seamless family picture, even the smallest discoveries can be moving. Tom Weiss of Newton, Mass., found his uncle's name on a yellowing Gestapo list of Jews arrested in France. "When you see his name on these original lists it has an emotional impact," he said. "It sent chills down my back."
Opening to the public has brought about several key changes digitization, bright new research rooms, ITS staff eager to share their intimate knowledge of the documents with those seeking and often making a human connection through a find.
Esther Mandelayl, an American who immigrated to Israel two years ago, came to research the fate of Jews from Lublin, Poland. Instead she made an unexpected personal discovery. Her parents survived the war, but her late father never talked about what happened to him or why he had a long scar down his neck.
But her unusual family name came up on an index card from a displaced persons camp in Italy. It contained detailed information about her father. "It listed every place he had been," she said from Russia, to Tashkent, to surviving a shot to his neck by the Nazis by falling into a cellar and being left for dead. She said she could barely believe it: "I have every answer to all my questions about my father's story the scar, everything."

Ironically, only today is there police software, normally used to determine connections between criminals, that will be of immense value in data mining these records for useful information.
It is truly amazing stuff, and goes far beyond what people can do mentally to make connections.
US forces in Iraq got a major boost in terrorist network busting by using it as well.

Question: Is Boeing having trouble setting up the production line or are they saving so much with a smaller line that they are willing to take the late delivery penalties?
#2
Some has to do with shortages, some has to do with the too aggressive schedules early one, learning curve, etc.
One thing to understand, Aerospace is going through a shift. Used to be the big OEMs made the systems in house along with the airframe and purchased the components from the subs via BTP (build to print), etc.
This has changed to purchase of whole systems from subs and the OEMs are now major system integrators.
With Dreamliner, this was expanded to offshore subs, and so the integration is far more complex than they've seen before.
Mistakes, too agressive initial schedules, pressure to catch up on Airbus market share, temp fixes, etc leading to delays.
In this case, Boeing is doing the right thing by slowing the pace of manufacture to ease and solve the issues.
Also, it is a basic fact of Aerospace life that 99% of everything is late.
As USN would say, the suits on mahagony row will take 'challenges' during their 'planning' while deluding themselves into thinking they can make good on the challenges. In this case, Boeing being caught off by far to aggressive schedules, per bottom lines and the drum beat of the war with Airbus.

Exactly Bombay. Add to that the situation you stated yesterday, the qualifying of subs; in this case many of the Boeing subs are qualified, but only to building metal airplanes; the concurrent design / build philosophy of the 787 plastic airplane with new processes, even with existing vendors was one bite too many. This was main reason Boeing bought out Vought's portion of the Vought / Alenia joint venture assembly plant in South Carolina
If you were to dig up the archives of the Mcdonnell-Douglas / General Dynamics fiasco called the A-12 Avenger II, you will see that the mistakes were many, but revolved around 2 experienced metal airplane guys trying to build a plastic one. So they built it like a metal one, and failed. Interesting sidenote that the B-2 was being built about that same time using a new approach and is successful.
Also interesting is that Airbus is building the A350XWB with carbon body panels fastened to metallic bulkheads ( sounds like a re-run of A-12).
A woman has died and 10 more in hospital after a flu-like outbreak on board a Via Rail train. The train, travelling from Vancouver to Toronto, is now under quarantine near Timmins.
Marc Depatie of the Foleyet OPP said that the female passenger was picked up in Jasper, Alberta with a tour group. Sgt Laura Nichols OPP said that she was called by CN at 8:35am Friday. "There was one person who had vital signs absent and five other people that were sick with flu-like symptoms," she reported.
That number quickly increased to ten, and all were taken to Timmins and District Hospital. "The Timmins District Hospital is a regional hospital, and I'm confident they can handle it," Nichols allowed.
The train is stopped in Foleyet. "The whole place is being overrun with ambulances and police cars, and we've got helicopters," said Deborah DesRochers, chairwoman of the town. "They've got the train quarantined. They're trying to isolate what it is."
There were 260 passengers and 30 crewmembers on board the train. Emergency crews in full protective gear searched the affected cars. It's believed, but not certain, that the outbreak is confined to only two cars. No one except emergency personnel is allowed on or off the trains.
If you're looking for a relative or friend, Nichols confirms that an incident commander is en route. "He'll be working with local officials to try and get some processes together to help out those people, to get in contact," she says.
The cause of the outbreak has not yet been determined. It could be biological, chemical, or food-related. Health Canada has also been called in. Scared. Very scared.
#3
There are a bunch of governments that are hair trigger about "flu-like symptoms" right now.
Coughing and sneezing in an airport is the new "bomb joke", in that an allergy could get you put in an isolation chamber for a week. No sense of humor about these things.

Well ... I know I don't. Not after the briefings I've heard from DOD medical personnel on expectations if we have a human-human transmittable bird flu.
You know they're taking it seriously when the discussion turns from how to manage the bodies on post due to a 45-50% mortality rate and 75% infection rate in the first 2 weeks to the triage needed to keep military hospitals from being overwhelmed to what happens when hordes of panicked civilians storm the post gates looking for treatment for their kids.

Google this pdf file put together by the CDC for a little bit of eye-opening: "Interim Pre-pandemic Planning Guidance:Community Strategy for Pandemic Influenza Mitigation in the United States."
(SomaliNet)A leading lawyer in Zimbabwe was on Wednesday arrested by the police over allegations that he insulted veteran President Robert Mugabe, the attorney's colleague said. A source confirmed that the lawyer, Harrison Nkomo was detained by police after he was said to have remarked to a senior prosecutor whose surname is Mugabe to tell his "father" to step down as the country was suffering under his rule.
"They said he uttered words that are insulting to the president," Beatrice Mtetwa, Nkomo's colleague in a Harare law firm, said. "They said those words undermined the authority of the president and were insulting Mugabe."
Nkomo allegedly made the remarks last Friday while waiting for a judge at the high court where he sought bail for a freelance journalist, Frank Chikowore, who was arrested during an opposition general strike in April. The lawyer has defended a number of high profile clients in recent weeks, including a New York Times correspondent who was arrested for covering the recent general election without accreditation.
There are regular reports of people arrested for slandering Zimbabwe's long-time president and breaching the strict Public Order and Security Act which make it an offence to insult a head of state. Usually those found guilty receive light jail sentences, fines or are ordered to do community service.

Hey, I make a great steak & kidney pie. Not summer fare, but good on a damp, cold day.
There's GREAT food in the Orkneys - at least one Michelin starred chef moved back to his home there a while ago and started a small restaurant using only very local, fresh ingredients. One of the best we've ever eaten at.

The Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI) confirmed two polio cases on Thursday, bringing this years total to seven. EPI-Sindh sources said the National Institute of Health confirmed three-year-old Shoaib from Naushero Feroze and four-year-old Ashfaq Ahmed from Jacobabad had polio. Shoaib had no routine vaccine, but received 19 during a national campaign. Ashfaq had 21 vaccines.

Here we go again. They won't take vaccines, because of the rumor that they are pork based. And they claim the right to bring their diseased selves to Western Civilization.
The mastermind of a plot to firebomb buildings in the name of radical environmentalism was sentenced to 19 years and 7 months in prison yesterday, clearing the way for a 22-year-old Pound Ridge woman who was part of the same eco-terrorist cell to be sentenced next week.
Eric McDavid, 30, of Foresthill, Calif., was convicted by a federal jury in March of conspiracy to firebomb property and faced a maximum 20 years in prison.
Meanwhile his one-time comrade, Lauren Weiner, a 2004 Fox Lane High School graduate, has been waiting for his sentencing so that she could also be sentenced. Weiner, who was arrested on the same conspiracy charge as McDavid along with a third man in 2006, agreed to testify against McDavid in exchange for a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
Weiner has been free on $1 million bail and living in Pound Ridge with her mother for the past two years.
On Thursday, she will be sentenced for her role in the conspiracy to blow up targets that included the Nimbus Dam, the U.S. Forest Service's Institute of Forest Genetics, both east of Sacramento, as well cell phone towers and other targets.

Excellent! Resist the system, man! When he gets out in 20 years, he can wonder at how the world changed and how his Cause[tm] has long been left by the wayside.
The Maryland Court of Appeals has declared that the pronouncement of divorce by a Muslim husband under Shariah law is contrary to Marylands constitutional provisions of providing equal rights to men and women, the Washington Post reported on Thursday.
The court stated in a unanimous 21-page opinion on Tuesday, Talaq (the pronouncement of divorce) lacks any significant due process for the wife, its use, moreover, directly deprives the wife of the due process she is entitled to when she initiates divorce litigation in this state. The lack and deprivation of due process is itself contrary to this states public policy.
The decision affirms a 2007 ruling by the Court of Special Appeals, the states intermediate appellate court, which also said that talaq does not apply in the Free State.
Under Islamic traditions, talaq can be invoked only by a husband, unless he grants his wife the same right. The court gave its opinion while hearing a divorce case of a couple with a Pakistani origin, according to the paper.
In the Court of Appeals opinion, Irfan Aleem, who has worked for years as an economist with the World Bank, had assets worth about $2 million, half of which his wife Farah Aleem is entitled to under Maryland law. When Irfan tried to divorce Farah through talaq, a sum of $2,500 was proposed as a full and final divorce settlement, according to the appellate decision.
That amount was written into a marriage contract Farah signed at the day she married Aleem in Pakistan in 1980, according to the appellate decision. The contract was in accordance with Pakistani custom. The couple moved to Washington in 1985.
I dont even know how to express how happy I am. I am ecstatic, relieved, the newspaper quoted Farah Aleem, 46, as saying. All I ever wanted was my fair share, not a penny more, she said.
At the direction of the judge who presided over the divorce proceedings, the couples Potomac home was to be sold and half the proceeds about $200,000 was to go to Farah, said Susan Friedman, her attorney. Friedman alleges Aleem, who recently retired, invoked talaq to avoid paying Farah half of his World Bank pension, which provides him with $90,000 annually, the attorney said, adding that the World Bank would have to pay Farah half her ex-husbands pension.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
