Nicholas Viscardi (October 20, 1920 – November 3, 2013), known professionally as Nick Cardy or Nick Cardi, was an American comic book artist best known for his DC Comics work on Aquaman, the Teen Titans and other major characters. Cardy was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2005.
Nick Cardy was born Nicholas Viscardi on October 20, 1920 in New York City.[1][2] He began drawing when he was very young, tellng one interviewer that some painting he had done for his school were "published in the [New York] Herald-Tribune or one of those early papers. The teachers wanted one on sports. It was a 4 x 8 panel.... So that was published and quite a bit of the stuff was published...."[3] He also provided artwork for the Boys Club of America,[4] and attended the Art Students League of New York, studying life drawing.[3]
As did many early comics professionals, Cardy entered the comics field working for Eisner and Iger Studio, a company founded by Will Eisner and Jerry Iger, which was one of a handful of comic book "packagers" that would create comics on demand for publishers testing the waters of the emerging medium. Joining the studio circa 1940,[5] he worked on Fight Comics, Jungle Comics, Kaanga Comics, and Wings for Fiction House Publications.[6] He wrote and drew the four-page backup feature "Lady Luck" in Will Eisner's 16-page, newspaper Sunday-supplement comic book colloquially called "The Spirit Section", from the May 18, 1941 strip through February 22, 1942.[7] Though his Lady Luck stories were credited under the house pseudonym Ford Davis, Viscardi would subtly work in the initials "NV" somewhere into each tale.[8] He used both his birth name and the pen name "Nick Cardy" concurrently for a time, he eventually adopted Nick Cardy for his comic-book work.[6]
Cardy recalled of his start at Eisner & Iger that he worked alongside
...Lou Fine, George Tuska, [and] Charlie Sultan. Bob Powell came in later when I was doing "Lady Luck" [after Eisner had split from Iger to concentrate on 'The Spirit Section']. He was sitting behind me. He would help a kid around the block — tell a newcomer to take it easy and that sort of thing. When I worked on 'Lady Luck', Will Eisner had rented an apartment at [the Manhattan complex] Tudor City.... He had one room where he worked, and the other room took up all the rest of the paraphernalia. I sat next to Will's door, Bob Powell sat next to me; Tex Blaisdell used to come in, and Chuck Cuidera (who was doing Blackhawk) was there. ... It was a learning experience. Watching Lou Fine work — his work was like a fine painting; it took a long time to do it but it was a brilliant piece of work. In my opinion, for drawing, you couldn't beat Lou Fine; he was terrific. I think Will Eisner had a coarser line but his work was more dramatic and he told a better story.[9]
Cardy did World War II military service from 1943 to 1945, earning two Purple Hearts for wounds suffered as a tank driver in the armored cavalry. He began his Army career with the 66th Infantry Division, during which time he won a competition to design its patch, creating its snarling black panther logo. His art talent led to his being assigned an office job at division headquarters. This lasted, Cardy recalled in an interview,[9] because a general who had seen Cardy's cartoons in an Officers Club had Cardy assigned to his own corps. As the artist tells it, the only opening was for a corporal in the motor pool, so Private Cardy was promoted and assigned to that duty. This, he said, led in turn, upon his being shipped to the European theater, to Cardy's assignment as an assistant tank driver for the Third Armored Division, under General Courtney Hodges. Later, between the end of the war and his discharge, Cardy said he worked for the Army's Information and Education office in France.[9] Cardy documented his time in the military in a series of intricate sketches and watercolors.[4]
Back in civilian life, Cardy begin doing advertising art as well as covers for crossword puzzle magazines and other periodicals. In 1950, he began drawing the black-and-white daily Tarzan comic strip of writer-artist Burne Hogarth.[10] From 1952 to 1953, Cardy assisted Warren Tufts on Tufts' comic strip Casey Ruggles.[10]
In 1950, Cardy began his decades-long association with DC Comics, starting with the comic book Gang Busters, based on the dramatic radio show. He began developing his breakout reputation with Tomahawk, his most prominent series at the time, which starred a white American colonist fighting the British undercover as an Iroquois Indian during the American Revolutionary War.[6]
From 1962–1968, he drew the first 39 issues of Aquaman (whose character had previously starred in a backup feature in Adventure Comics), and all its covers through the final issue (#56, April 1971).[6] He recalled that, "Ramona Fradon had been drawing the character but was moving on for some reason. I remember being in [editor] Murray's [Boltinoff] office with Ramona during the transition. ... Anyway, they must have liked my work because when the character got his own series, they made me the artist".[11] Among the Aquaman stories which Cardy drew were issue #18 which featured the wedding of Aquaman and Mera[12] and #23 which saw the birth of the couple's son.[13] Aquagirl was introduced in issue #33 (June 1967) by Cardy and writer Bob Haney.[14]
Cardy first drew the Teen Titans in The Brave and the Bold #60 (July 1965), wherein the superhero sidekicks Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad were joined by Wonder Woman's younger sister Wonder Girl in her first appearance.[6][15] After next being featured in Showcase #59 (Dec. 1965), the team was spun off into their own series with Teen Titans #1 (Feb. 1966).[6][16] From 1966-73, Cardy penciled or inked — sometimes both — all 43 issues of the series. Neal Adams was called upon to rewrite and redraw a Cardy-drawn Teen Titans story which had been written by Len Wein and Marv Wolfman. The story, titled "Titans Fit the Battle of Jericho!", would have introduced DC's first African American superhero but was rejected by publisher Carmine Infantino.[17] The revised story appeared in Teen Titans #20 (March–April 1969). New members of the team, psychic Lilith Clay[18] and Mal Duncan, were created by Cardy and writer Robert Kanigher.[19] In 1968-69, Cardy drew the fondly remembered but short-lived, quirky Western series Bat Lash,[20] about an expert gunslinger who was nonetheless a dandy, and who, in a nod to the 1960s counterculture, wore a flower in his hat.[6][21] Cardy during this time also assisted artist Al Plastino, a childhood friend, on the Batman comic strip.
Cardy became the primary DC cover artist from the early to mid-1970s.[1]
A popular but apocryphal anecdote, told by DC editor Julius Schwartz, concerned Cardy being fired by DC editorial director Carmine Infantino for not following a cover layout, only to be rehired moments later when Schwartz praised the errant cover art. Cardy said in 2005,
[A]t one of the conventions ... I said, 'You know, Carmine, Julie Schwartz wrote something in [his autobiography] that I don't remember at all and it doesn't sound like you at all'. And I told him the incident ... and he said, 'That's crazy. You know I always loved your work. Gee, you were one of the best artists in the business. The guy's crazy'. So I said, 'Okay, come on'. We went over to Julie Schwartz's table and we told him what our problem was. And Carmine and I said, 'We don't remember the incident'. So Julie said, 'Well, it's a good story, anyway'. [laughs] And that was it. He let it go at that. [laughs] He just made it up."[22]
Cardy left comics in the mid-1970s for the more lucrative field of commercial art. There, under the name Nick Cardi,[23] he did magazine art and ad illustrations, including movie advertising art (though not necessarily the "one-sheet" posters) for films including The Street Fighter (1974), The Night They Robbed Big Bertha's (1975), Neil Simon's California Suite (1978), Stanley Donen's Movie Movie (1978), Martin Ritt's Casey's Shadow (1978), and Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now (1979).
In 1996, Cardy was one of the many creators who contributed to the Superman: The Wedding Album one-shot wherein the title character married Lois Lane.[24] Other late-career comics work included a one-page illustration for Wonder Woman vol. 2 #120 (April 1997), the cover of Silver Age: Teen Titans #1 (July 2000), and two pages for Titans #25 (March 2001).[6]
Following his World War II discharge from the U.S. Army, Cardy met and married Ruth Houghby. In 1955 they had a son, Peter, who died in 2001.[2] The couple remained married through 1969.[2] Cardy died of congestive heart failure[25] in Florida[26] on November 3, 2013.[2]
On July 15, 2005, Cardy was one of four professionals that year inducted into the comics industry's Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.[27]

Disability questions, you probably have a lot. I receive so many phone calls with disability questions, and I enjoy answering them for my clients. I can tell you the first question is, can I have an attorney when I apply? The answer is yes, it never costs you anymore money to have an attorney from the beginning. As a disability attorney I am only paid if I win your claim, and it is a percentage and it is capped at a dollar amount.
Disability questions are in the hundreds, another common question is can I still get disability if I had to file for early retirement ? The answer again is yes. When you take early retirement because of your disability you are still eligible to file for disability. I represent many factory workers and construction workers who fall into this category.
I am 63 can I still apply for disability? This is another common disability question, the answer is yes, at 63 you are still eligible for disability. I represent many clients who are in their 50's and 60's. Under Social Security disability rules once you reach age 50, there are different systems to judge your disability.
How do I even start the process of disability? This is a simple but good disability question, you can simply call my office and speak to me, I can handle your disability claim from the beginning, you can leave the worry and paperwork to me. As a disability attorney I make it my job to understand disability and take care of your case, so you don't have to.
Do I have to go to an office to get this process started? No, you do not, this is another good disability question. I can start your disability claim over the phone, you will just need to be able to give me your doctors names, and your former workplaces, I can help you with this little amount of information. I represent clients throughout the United States. If there is a hearing in your claim, I will come to you, no matter where your hearing is located.
Does it cost anything to talk with me? No it does not, I do not charge a fee for simply calling my office and talking with me, that is a disability question that I can say my answer in will never change, I would be pleased to answer your questions and see if I may be of service to you on your disability claim.
I have Crohns Disease and I am not sure anyone understands this disease at Social Security disability. I understand it, I have dedicated a website to it called, crohnsdisabilityattorney.com I represent Crohns Disease clients throughout the United States, I can help you with your Crohns Disease claim.
There are endless disability questions in regards to a disability claim, call me today and I would be happy to help you. Toll free 1 877 271 2633

So a buddy told me about this game a few days ago, and it's actually quite some fun (apart from the constant insults you get when you are new to the game). I got some points and wanted to spend them, and ponder now where to invest them best. - maybe in several expensive rune? But since I'm rather new and dunno which char I'd play most often, maybe the runes would be rather useless to me later on and wasted money? Currently I just bought some cheaper ones that seemed helpful - buy several cheap (pointwise) champions, so I can stick to them to learn how to pilot them (like maybe poppy or tristana or mundo, and some of the 450 point ones) - save for a more expensive champion (I liked gragas while I could play him, but he is quite expensive and the only guide I found basically says "he sucks", which ain't too motivating. I don't mind using champions that are rarely used, but beeing a newbie AND having an underpowered char might not be an enjoyable experience). Also the guides always assume you can afford the best runes and have the maximum number of mastery points available, so I guess half of the strategies mentioned wouldn't work anyway. - buy one cheap champion of each type (ie a tank, ganker, pusher etc) just to find out which playstyle I prefer most in the long run - keep playing the free heroes to see what they can do, continue buying cheap runes and saving points until I'm 100% sure what to do with them :P And: - are there any champions that are definately not playable for a new player, since they only do well with the best runes and maximum masteries? And some that make sense also early on? Thanks for any advice

I really wouldn't worry about runes, they honestly don't make much of a difference, especially an incomplete set of non-tier 3 runes pre level 30. Play with the free champions for a couple weeks/months (they rotate 10 new ones every week), and if you really really like somebody purchase them. Honestly, the best values are the champ bundles via riot points, $45 gets you everyone but the 4 newest champs I think. Off the top of my head the best 450IP champs are Sivir, Ashe, and Yi (when I first started those were my first 3). Just do everyone a favor and play 2-3 practice games (either against bots or real people) any time you decide to try a new champ. Test driving one you've never played and haven't researched any builds for is just asking for insults. I don't really think there are champs that are unplayable for new folks as long as you take the time to learn them over the course of a few games. There are definitely champs who are easier to help carry your team to a win though, but you'll figure out who those are the more you play.
Welcome. I would continue to play the free champs. Each week there is a tank/support/dps. When you find a champ you like, then buy him/her. The exceptions to this would be the 6,300 IP ones as those take a bit of saving up for. In the meantime, go ahead and buy tier 1 runes as they are cheap and some runes are better than no runes. I second the practice games--look for ones with "noob" or summoner level 1~10 as titles and try to join those.

Part I (60 points): Please briefly explain your responses.
1. Name at least 4 potential roles for government in a market economy and
indicate for each what normative goals they may help a society achieve.
2. For about 200 years the National Weather Service has provided weather forecasts and now you can get their weather forecasts from the internet (http://www.nws.noaa.gov). In what ways might a weather forecast be a public good (or near public good)? How does technology influence whether a good fits this category?
3. If you were thinking of imposing a sales tax on a good, why would you care about the price elasticity of demand for the good? What are some of the factors that influence price elasticity? (Hint: A classic policy error, made in 1991, was raising the taxes on yachts because the demand for yachts was found to be more elastic than originally expected.)
4. What's the difference between a public good and a publicly provided good?
5. In Modesto citizens who sit on juries are paid $5 per day and receive free bus passes. Suppose that you are evaluating whether to have 12-person or 6- person juries. In conducting your study how would you evaluate the costs of the juries?
6. Give some examples of social insurance programs. What are some of the justifications for these types of programs?
Part II (40 points): Please explain your responses fully and show
your work.
1. Many people are concerned about air quality in the San Joaquin Valley. Why
might it be desirable for the government to be involved in this issue? (Hint:
please relate this issue to the Coase Theorem.) How could public policy be used
to reduce the level of pollution? What are some of the advantages and
disadvantages of alternative approaches?
2. Suppose Mary uses BART to get to work at a cost of $1.25 per trip, but
would ride a bus if the price were any higher. Her next best alternative is a
bus that takes five minutes longer, but costs only $1. She makes 10 trips per
week. The city is considering renovations of the BART system that would reduce
the trip by 10 minutes, but fares would rise by $.40 per trip to cover the
costs. The fare increase and reduced travel time both take effect in one year
and last forever. The interest rate is 10 percent.
a. What is the approximate present value of the project's benefits to Mary?
What is the approximate present value of the project's costs to Mary?
b. If there are 10,000 people like Mary, and 10,000 people who do not use any
form of public transportation. What are the total benefits and costs of the
project? What is the net present value of the project?
c. There's another alternative project that would benefit the other 10,000
people each by $10 per year for two years. (Assume these benefits are received
at the end of each of the years.) What is the present value of the project?
d. If you must choose between the projects, assuming both groups of people are
weighted equally in the social welfare function, which project do you
e. What "distributional weight" would make you indifferent between
the projects?

Molecular etiologies of heart failure, an emerging cardiovascular epidemic affecting 4.7 million Americans and costing 17.8 billion health-care dollars annually, remain poorly understood. Here we report that an inherited human dilated cardiomyopathy with refractory congestive heart failure is caused by a dominant Arg --> Cys missense mutation at residue 9 (R9C) in phospholamban (PLN), a transmembrane phosphoprotein that inhibits the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticular Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatase (SERCA2a) pump. Transgenic PLN(R9C) mice recapitulated human heart failure with premature death. Cellular and biochemical studies revealed that, unlike wild-type PLN, PLN(R9C) did not directly inhibit SERCA2a. Rather, PLN(R9C) trapped protein kinase A (PKA), which blocked PKA-mediated phosphorylation of wild-type PLN and in turn delayed decay of calcium transients in myocytes. These results indicate that myocellular calcium dysregulation can initiate human heart failure-a finding that may lead to therapeutic opportunities.

Business Class: Live a life that creates great stories to tell
Phil Beuth is a gifted storyteller.
Though his "Ego Wall" is filled with photos of him alongside celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Paul McCartney, Bill Cosby, and Audrey Hepburn, "ego" had very little to do with Beuth's success. He was, and still is, one of those rare people who actually have a "magnetic personality."
In the words of television icon Regis Philbin, "People were attracted to him. People wanted to work with him. At that time, many tended to shy away from network executives, but his people wanted to hear his stories and his ideas."
Beuth's office wall reveals the remarkable tale of a man who rose to the heights of the media and entertainment industry as president of Good Morning America (1986-1997) while maintaining active involvement at the highest levels of ABC-TV management. In Beuth's words, "The most remarkable thing about my career is the people I got to work with. I was blessed with the best leadership in the business."
As a man who spent his entire 42-year career working for one company, Capital Cities Communications, it's not surprising his references relate almost exclusively to Cap Cities and not the more widely recognized ABC brand.
"Everything was an open book with Cap Cities. We understood that owning a TV station was not only a privilege but also public trust. Even Warren Buffett often stated that the balance sheet should include a line item for 'integrity.'"
Cap Cities may have been "the minnow that swallowed the whale" when it purchased ABC in 1986; however, Beuth's loyalty to his long-term associates is unwavering.
Though willing to accept credit for his best ideas, Beuth quickly defers to his mentor, Capital Cities CEO Tom Murphy, for establishing a timeless management philosophy: "If you hire the best people you can and leave them alone, you don't have to hire very many."
Philbin concurred: "Capital Cities had a way of producing executives who knew how to get the best out of people."
Born in Staten Island, N.Y., with mild cerebral palsy, Beuth was reared by a single mother. The family's lack of health insurance resulted in young Beuth having to straighten out his feet by tucking them under the radiator and doing sit-ups. Rudimentary, yes, but also a likely influence on a problem-solving philosophy based on taking control of the situation, using the resources available, and getting the job done.
Specifically, Beuth takes pride in a 1988 decision to develop a series of prime-time specials on AIDS, produced without the guarantee of advertiser funding to support the initiative. According to Jessica Stark, former colleague and current manager of Post Production at "Anderson Live," "Phil has been, and always will be, the great crusader."
Stark continues, "Phil operated on his wit s— which were considerable." In Philbin's words, "Phil Beuth was a great executive — always up and ready to hear new ideas."
However, Beuth's greatest lesson may still be the power of storytelling: Live a life that creates great stories to tell.

Dr. John Goff, a neuropsychologist from Tuscaloosa, testified that a clinical psychologist who practices in Dothan compromised Murphy's defense when he testified during the trial. Goff contends that Dr. Doug McKeown testimony may have violated patient-doctor privilege.
"One of the most important points we brought out during this case is when the state psychologist is ordered by the court to evaluate the defendant they are asking the person being evaluated to incriminate themselves when that doctor testifies against them at trial," said Murphy attorney Richard Keith.
Keith also questioned why the attorney for Murphy at the time of the trial didn't object to McKeown's testimony. He cites ineffective counsel on the part of Matt Lamere who was swift to refute the allegation.
"As a defense lawyer you get used to folks saying you did a bad job when you lose," said Lamere. "I think if you asked (District Attorney Doug Valeska) who won this case he would say I did." Lamere pointed out the trial was infused with publicity, even drawing attention from the national media.
Lamere said Murphy was initially charged with five counts of attempted murder but convicted of only one count. That conviction was later overturned by the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals. With the reversal, Murphy's sentence was reduced by half---from 70 years to 35 years. A jury found him guilty of burglary, making a terror threat, and criminal mischief.
Murphy was arrested a few hours after the 2007 shooting spree occurred at Primecare's former location on Westgate Parkway. Employees and patients were able to exit safely via a back door. Murphy surrendered a few hours later after police coaxed him from the building. Nobody was wounded.
Murphy had been a patient at the clinic earlier in the week and appeared upset about his medical care and the military. He was scheduled to participate in a National Guard drill and may have been concerned about his inability to complete a physical fitness examination.
However, Keith contends his client was portrayed unfairly. "He'd been a college type student in the National Guard and got put on five or six different medications and he had a bad day and suffered from delirium and was out of character," he said.
District Attorney Doug Valeska opposes the motion for a new trial. "Murphy is cry babying," said the veteran prosecutor. He said Murphy was offered a 20 year prison sentence on all charges had he pleaded guilty. Valeksa said Murphy declined the plea deal. Valeska also said he plans to oppose parole when Murphy is considered.
Circuit Judge Butch Binford, who sentenced Murphy, took the matter under advisement and will rule on the new trial request within a few days.

The sad thing was, you just moved into a new city not too long ago, so you didn't have very many friends. Not as many as your old city. You were happy with the three friends you already had, Yukiteru, Yuno, and Akise.

The number of wearable computing devices sold in the United States will triple in 2014, according to a new forecast from market researcher International Data Corporation (IDC), to top 19 million shipments.
IDC is predicting impressive growth rates for the market to continue at least into 2018, when the company says it expects the market to reach 111.9 million units sold on the strength of a 78.4 percent compound annual growth rate.
Complex accessories such as "Nike+ FuelBand, Jawbone UP and Fitbit devices" will lead the space for most of the forecast period, according to the company, "as users continue to embrace their simplicity and low price points." Devices in this category have only partial functionality on their own, as they are designed to operate fully when paired with smartphones, tablets or PCs.
"Complex accessories have succeeded in drawing much-needed interest and attention to a wearables market that has had some difficulty gaining traction," said Ramon Llamas, research manager, mobile phones, in a prepared statement. "The increased buzz has prompted more vendors to announce their intentions to enter this market. Most importantly, end-users have warmed to their simplicity in terms of design and functionality, making their value easy to understand and use."
Throughout the forecast period smart accessories, differing from complex accessories in their ability to run third-party apps, will gain ground en route to leading the space by 2018.
"While not quite ready for prime time, the smart accessory market will continue to mature as users better understand and accept the value proposition and vendors refine their offerings," according to an IDC news release.
Rounding out the market are smart wearables, which require only an Internet connection for full functionality. These devices, exemplified by Google Glass, will require "users to shift to a new user experience while offering them a robust selection of third-party applications," according to IDC. "It is not a question of 'if,' but 'when' wearables as a whole will extend into the enterprise."
Samsung, an early entrant to the space with several devices currently available, may be in good shape to set the pace in the market, as an IDC survey of 50,000 consumers representing 26 countries "identified [it] as the most trusted brand for wearables, ahead of Apple, Sony and Google," according to a news release.

Kroenke keen to meet board
19 Jul 2007 - 11:25:59
Arsenal stakeholder Stan Kroenke is keen to meet the rest of the board after holding talks with chairman Peter Hill-Wood and managing director Keith Edelman.
The American billionaire and sports magnate currently owns 12 per cent of the north London club and reports continue to suggest he will launch a full takeover bid.
Kroenke's spokesman, Paul Andrews, has refused to confirm those rumours, but has revealed the owner of several US sports franchises is keen to hold further discussions with the rest of the board.
"He's very bullish about it. He now looks forward to meeting the other board members," said Andrews.
"He's been meeting with the people from Arsenal for the past year-and-a half and he's very fond of the way they run their business operation.
"We never comment on any future, possible investments of any kind.
"Each investment is evaluated based on its merit and it will be assessed on an ongoing basis."
Kroenke owns Major League Soccer side Colorado Rapids, the Denver Nuggets basketball team and Colorado Avalanche ice hockey franchise.
The Colorado Rapids have an existing commercial and marketing partnership with the Gunners.

Paint A Room
People hire painters because they think it's a pain in the ass, not because they don't know how to do it. If you buy the right paint for your surface (which they'll gladly tell you at the store), you'll make life a lot easier. So does taking the time to properly tape off edges. Finally, grab the right tools -- rollers are preferable over brushes, and a square-edging tool makes the whole process a breeze. Establish borders using that, and you can fill in with the rollers without worrying about straying outside the lines. Make sure to use plenty of newspaper to lay under your supplies and skip the dropcloth -- if you tape properly and use an edging tool, you shouldn't need it.

Another Clinton flunky in the US District Court in Manhattan let a convicted terrorist, Lynne Stewart off with a 24 month sentence instead of the thrity years that the federal sentencing guidelines calls for. Amazing! This women helped kill hundreds of innocent people, and is still free on bond! Ah Bill CLinton, still screwing America!
You're a cop, you know that if you're going to accuse her of killing people, you have to say who. Or are you just assuming something she did killed people... you know, being full of s--t?
Bill & Hill love these people, Pant Suit Hillary is still working on trying to get a bill through that would allow all of America's "Convicts" that are now in jail the right to vote. The "Rotten Clintons" love these people because they are all Democrats, the Murderers, Thieves, Rapists, Pedophiles, Con Men, and your run of the mill Scum Bag are all democrats because they know the Democrat will CODDLE & SLOBBER over them. The "Rotten Clintons" don't care about the Prisoners Right To Vote all they are interested in is "GETTING THE PRISONER VOTE". Bastards. :rocker: "thats right Harry, they stink"
Another title could be a Republican Controlled Congress appoved judge give terrorist a light sentence... Making the connection to either the congress or clinton is kindof a stretch..
Nominated by Clinton in 1994. Confirmed by the US Senate in 1994, whose makeup at the time was a Democrat majority. So the title of "Clinton appointed, Democrat approved Judge gives terrorist a light sentence" is totally appropriate.
Ask and you shall recieve... Here is her indictment: http://news.findlaw.com/hdocs/docs/terrorism/uslstwrt111903sind.html Here's some highligts... On or about November 17, 1997, six assassins shot and stabbed a group of tourists visiting an archeological site in Luxor,. Egypt. Fifty-eight foreign tourists were killed along with four Egyptians, some of whom were police officers. Before making their exit, the terrorists scattered leaflets espousing their support for the Islamic Group and calling for the release of Abdel Rahman. Also, the torso of one victim was slit by the terrorists and a leaflet calling for Abdel Rahman's release was inserted. 18. On or about November 18, 1997, a statement issued in the name of the Islamic Group said, "A Gama'a unit tried to take prisoner the largest number of foreign tourists possible … with the aim of securing the release of the general emir. (commander) of the Gama'a al-Islamiyya, Dr. Abdel-Rahman." The statement continued, "But the rash behavior and irresponsibility of government security forces with regard to tourist and civilian lives led to the high number of fatalities." The statement aIso warned that the Islamic Group "will continue its military operations as long as the regime does not respond to our demands." The statement listed the most important demands as "the establishment of God's law, cutting relations with the Zionist entity (Israel) … and the return of our sheik[h] and emir to his land." - 8 - And here is how she helped to kill these people.... Stewart's May 16, 2000 Signing of an Agreement to Abide by the Terms of the Special Administrative Measures i. On or about May 16, 2000, STEWART signed an affirmation in which she agreed "to abide by [the] terms" of the SAMs then in effect on Abdel Rahman. In particular, STEWART agreed that she would "only be accompanied by translators for the - 16 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- purpose of communicating with inmate Abdel Rahman concerning legal matters" and that she would not "use [her] meetings, correspondence, or phone calls with Abdel Rahman to pass messages between third parties (including, but not limited to, the media) and Abdel Rahman." The May 2000 Prison Visit j. On or about May 19, 2000, during a prison visit to Abdel Rahman by STEWART and YOUSRY, YOUSRY told Abdel Rahman and. STEWART about the kidnappings by the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group in the Philippines and Abu Sayyaf's demand to free Abdel Rahman, to which STEWART replied, "Good for them." STEWART then told Abdel Rahman that she believed he could be released from prison if the government in Egypt were changed. STEWART also told Abdel Rahman that events like the Abu Sayyaf kidnappings in the Philippines are important, although they "may be futile," because it is "very, very crucial" that Abdel Rahman not be forgotten as a hero of the "Muiahadeen" (Jihad warriors). There are several other instances, when she helped terrorist, and the mere fact that she has not been shot for treason, is beyond me. Bascially she let this man communictae freely from prison with his terrorists friends.
I am not gonna argue the merits of this case as it is way too complicated and beyond my understanding, but will point out that there is more to this case than meets the eye... on one hand this woman is either an operative or was stupid enough to get duped on this case, while on the other the attorney-client privilege and all that it entails may violate the long term standards used by our legal system. Here is an opposing view of what you post, it is biased, but an alternative view of this whole mess.. there is no denial of what you post, but right now it is so difficult to get anything unbiased I find it is best to read both sides and somehow you come up with a modicum of truth. http://writ.news.findlaw.com/cassel/20050214.html The eavesdropping on attorney-client communications that led to this prosecution would have been unimaginable before September 11. I will argue that this eavesdropping has a serious cost in inhibiting defense attorney's ability to zealously represent their clients. This cost is of a constitutional dimension: The Sixth Amendment's right to counsel cannot be served while the government is a third party present at attorney-client meetings. Another problematic aspect of the Stewart prosecution is how far the definition of support for terrorism was stretched. Stewart never provided any financial support, weaponry -- or any other concrete aid -- for any act of terrorism. No act of terrorism is alleged to have resulted from her actions. Stewart's supposed support for terrorism instead consisted of aiding her client in 2000 by giving a press release to Reuters News Service in Cairo, Egypt, and of being present when her co-defendants allegedly aided her client in writing a series of letters. On October 31, 2001, Attorney General John Ashcroft, secretly amended the SAM regulations - without notice to the public. As amended, the regulations allow the Bureau of Prisons to conduct videotape and audiotape surveillance with respect to attorneys' communications with people in federal custody.
Instead of using an interpreter, she let a terrorists speak freely with him, while she "pretended" to be involved in the conversations. She also issued press releases on his behalf. This woman is a LAWYER, and a very celebrated one at that, so there is no wat that she can say she was "duped". She committed treason against her country, was convicted of it, and this pantywiast judge let her off.
I guess you are a legal scholar, something I am not, all that is being said is there is two sides to every story and it is everyone's responsibility to seek out the truth or some modicum thereof.
Tell me you do not think that this is treason....... ee. On or about July 13, 2001, during a prison visit to Abdel Rahman in Minnesota by STEWART and YOUSRY, YOUSRY told Abdel Rahman that SATTAR had been informed that the U.S.S. Cole was bombed on Abdel Rahman's behalf and that SATTAR was asked to convey to the United States government that more terrorist acts would follow if the United States government did not free Abdel Rahman. While YOUSRY was informing Abdel Rahman about this scheme, STEWART actively concealed the conversation between YOUSRY and Abdel Rahman from the prison guards by, among other things, shaking a water jar and tapping on the table while stating that she was "just doing covering noise.†ff. On or about July 14, 2001, during the second day of a prison visit to Abdel Rahman in Minnesota by STEWART and YOUSRY, YOUSRY read Abdel Rahman letters and Abdel Rahman dictated responsive letters to YOUSRY.
The issues, as I understand it, are how the information was obtained and that they changed the rules without letting the players know of the change. I am not defending this woman, it is a complicated legal case.. that is all I am saying. You know as a law enforcement person, there is something out there called due process, and I think that is what they are arguing. My issue has to do with linking Clinton with this Judge, that is how it started and was a pee poor analogy.
That's why we have an independent judicuary. The late Harry Blackmun was put on the Supreme Court by Nixon yet was the justice who wrote Roe v Wade.
