As SEC media day unfolded, Missouri Tigers football fans received some confirmation regarding the depth chart at the quarterback position as the team gets ready to begin practice. Mizzou head coach Gary Pinkel brought senior James Franklin with him and told reporters that Franklin was the front-runner. Franklin also answered questions from reporters and was asked who had the rudest fans in the SEC. His response may surprise Tigers fans. Mizzou QB James Franklin on the 'rudest' fans in the #SEC: "Missouri. My own fans." — Jon Cooper (@JonSDS) July 16, 2013 Franklin later clarified his response, saying the rudest fan he had encountered last year was a Mizzou fan and not all Mizzou fans are rude. While Franklin attempts to control the damage, it may be too little too late for the highly scrutinized quarterback who struggles throwing the ball in the pocket and ran timidly last season behind a beaten up Mizzou offensive line. Many in Mizzou Nation are ready to move and...

I can do this with a full SQL query but I'd like to know if there is an easied "Rails-friendly way" to perform this.

Palmer Ranch Lowe's to begin construction
Date: January 27, 2011
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
Construction will begin on a Lowe's home-improvement store in Palmer Ranch nearly four years after it was first proposed.
In May, residents will begin to see crews working on the vacant plot on Central Sarasota Parkway, between the Bella Villino condos and former Albertson's supermarket. It's expected to open as early as next January.
"We're very happy to be coming to Southwest Florida and serving the residents there," said Lowe's spokeswoman Stacey Lentz.
The 94,000-square-foot store is smaller than the originally proposed 153,000-square-foot facility.
The Sarasota County Planning Commission had denied that original plan, because it believed the size of the building was too big for the 20-acre site.
WilsonMiller, the land-planning company that had been representing Lowe's locally, has said the long construction delay was because of the downturn in the economy.
The Lowe's store will create 120 jobs and, more important for some, a little bit of buzz for the area.
"I feel this area is turning into a ghost town," said Margaret Brading, president of the Palmer Ranch Communities Coalition.
With vacancies in the shopping centers on Tamiami Trail and in Westfield Sarasota Square Mall, Brading said Palmer Ranch needed something to attract more businesses to the area.
"Lowe's is definitely a positive," she said. "The residents are very happy."

Can't believe this is by pinhole, the images are very sharp and the b/w film really adds beauty to the fotos...well done...^..^
@wuxiong This is a Diana F+ in pinhole mode, not a 100%pinhole (you have the plastic lens of the Diana). The film was pushed at 400 ISO developing it in Rodinal R09 (1+80) for 90 minutes (stand)

Its "purpose is to fill a growing need for information and advice about the modern phenomenon of mass conviction and the second-class citizenship it perpetuates," according to the press release. Another goal "is to foster public discussion and disseminate information about what has been called the 'secret sentence.'"

The Center aims to reach a broad audience of lawyers and other criminal justice practitioners, judges, scholars, researchers, policymakers, legislators, as well as those most directly affected by the consequences of conviction.

Morrison, No.13-7051 (ED Okla), 11/13/14 - Published. Child porn case in which defendant, who had over 20,000 images on his computer, got stat max of 120 months and appealed procedural reasonableness of the sentence and conditions of supervised release. Held: (1) no procedural error where district court refused to vary downward based on policy disagreement with the child porn guidelines; (2) no procedural error in imposing two-level increase for use of a computer. The court was free to agree with defendant on these points, but simply chose not to and explained, albeit briefly, why it thought the sentence was reasonable; (2) challenge to ban on use of computers without permission of the PO was waived, where defendant argued that the ban would serve to deter, and thus made a conscious choice not to challenge the ban, but rather tried to turn it to his advantage; (3) ban on use of cameras without permission of the PO was OK, even though defendant did not use a camera to amass his collection. Having 20,000+ images means defendant might use a camera to record CP in the future and besides, he can always ask the PO for permission to use a camera.

According to NACDL's press release, "This groundbreaking study documents one of the major problems facing the nation's criminal justice system today: the failure to ensure full, fair and timely disclosure of information favorable to an accused person in a criminal action. It is a significant step towards achieving the vital reforms necessary to guarantee a fair trial for every accused person," NACDL President Theodore Simon said.

The release describes the study's findings as "extensive and dramatic". Findings include:

The materiality standard produces arbitrary results and overwhelmingly favors the prosecution. Indeed, in those decisions where the prosecution failed to disclose favorable information, it still won 86% of the time, with the court concluding that the information was not material.

Courts almost never find Brady was violated by the late disclosure of favorable information. Of the 65 decisions that involve late disclosure of favorable information, only one resulted in a Brady violation finding.

Favorable information is more likely to be disclosed late or withheld entirely in death penalty decisions. Favorable information was never disclosed or disclosed late by the prosecution in 53% of decisions involving the death penalty, but only 34% of all the decisions studied.

The complete press release and report are available here.

Titley, 2014 WL 5580706 (11/4/14) (OK)(published) - Using the equal protection clause, Mr. Titley challenged the meaning of "serious drug offense" in the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA). He argued that although his convictions for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute in Arkansas and unlawful possession of marijuana with intent to distribute in Oklahoma otherwise qualify for the ACCA enhancement, these crimes should not count because they would not be "serious drug offense[s]" had he committed them in 19 other states or D.C. The court dismissed his argument. It said that by limiting "serious drug offense" under state law to manufacturing and distribution crimes and by including only those offenses carrying at least a ten-year maximum sentence, Congress acted rationally. A state crime meeting these criteria as a qualifying offense for ACCA sentencing enhancement serves the legitimate government purpose of incapacitating repeat offenders who have been convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) and deterring others from committing ACCA predicate crimes and a § 922(g) offense.Shari Allisonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9419672.post-15838947830919771672014-11-03T11:07:00.003-07:002014-11-03T11:07:53.535-07:00Petitioner obtains remand for an evidentiary hearingU.S. v. Adams, 2014 WL 5394293 (10/24/14) (Ut.) (unpub'd) - The 10th remands for an evidentiary hearing on a number of ineffective assistance of counsel claims. Mr. Adams alleged his trial attorney, Mr. Leavitt, interviewed his girlfriend-co-defendant in prison. She indicated she and Mr. Adams were common-law spouses. Mr. Leavitt prepared an affidavit to establish a spousal privilege to keep her from testifying against Mr. Adams. Unfortunately, the girlfriend had previously entered into a plea agreement that required her to testify for the government. When the government informed her attorney, Mr. Jaenish, about Mr. Leavitt's scheme, Mr. Janeish was displeased. He threatened to file a bar complaint against Mr. Leavitt for talking to a defendant who had counsel. The girlfriend testified against Mr. Adams at trial. Mr. Leavitt conducted a less-than-scintillating cross. When Mr. Adams complained about this, Mr. Leavitt promised to recall her to get out information that was favorable to Mr. Adams and impeaching of the girlfriend. That didn't happen after a shouting match between Mr. Leavitt and Mr. Jaenish in which Mr.Jaenish once again threatened a bar complaint When Mr. Adams asked why his girlfriend was not recalled, Mr. Leavitt explained that the prosecution would revoke her plea bargain and she would serve 40 years in prison. This scenario evidenced Mr. Leavitt was laboring under conflicts of interest because of his interest in avoiding a bar complaint and his apparent concern for the girlfriend's welfare. The 10th found that, if his allegations were true, Mr. Adams was entitled to relief. An evidentiary hearing was necessary to determine whether the instances of ineffective representation were the result of a conflict or Mr. Leavitt's strategic choices.

 The 10th also found an evidentiary hearing was necessary to consider Mr. Adams' allegation that Mr. Leavitt lied when he told him the government had not filed an § 851 notice, which would have increased his mandatory minimum from 10 to 20 years. Mr. Adams said he would have taken the plea offer if he had known the truth. An evidentiary hearing would resolve whether Mr. Leavitt lied or instead the § 851 had not yet been filed at the time of the relevant conversation, whether the government's plea offer was made and how long it was good for, how willing was Mr. Adams to accept the plea offer, whether the government would have withdrawn the plea offer and whether the court would have accepted it.

 On appeal the government changed course from its position in district court and contended an evidentiary hearing was necessary for the above two claims. The 10th rejected Mr Adams' contention that the government had waived its evidentiary hearing argument on appeal. He should be entitled to relief without such a hearing, Mr. Adams argued. The 10th reasoned that the government was not trying to better its position on appeal by making its argument. It was actually adopting a position more favorable to Mr. Adams than it had before. So no waiver.

 With little discussion, the 10th also finds Mr. Adams' other two claims, if proved, would entitle him to relief, leaving to the district court the decision whether to hold an evidentiary hearing on those ineffective-assistance claims regarding: (1) appellate counsel's failure to adequately argue his life sentence was substantively unreasonable; and (2) trial counsel's failure to object to instances of prosecutorial misconduct.

 Most impressively, Mr. Adams' appellate counsel sought a more-than-four-fold expansion of the word limit to 60,000 words. The 10th rules counsel could have fit in all of Mr. Adams' additional nine claims with a little more abbreviation or consolidation.Shari Allisonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9419672.post-40544833971371777462014-11-03T11:06:00.002-07:002014-11-03T11:06:45.780-07:00Unpublished decisionsU.S. v. Pulsifer, 2014 WL 5369397 (10/23/14) (Okl.) (unpub'd) - The 10th applies the good faith exception. Mr. Pulsifer contended there was probable cause for a warrant to search only for evidence of marijuana use, but not of distribution. The 10th found the warrant affidavit was not "devoid of factual support." An anonymous tipster claimed Mr. Pulsipher was distributing marijuana from his home and that there was heavy traffic in and out of the place. A three-week surveillance contradicted the tipster's traffic claim. Nonetheless, the matching of Mr. Pulsifer and his home to the descriptions the tipster gave, the discovery of a small quantity of marijuana in Mr. Pulsifer's trash and the 2007 delivery of 30 grams of marijuana to Mr. Pulsifer was enough to pass through the good faith portal regarding distribution. Significantly, and most troublingly, the 10th reasons the search was okay because it would have taken a "close comparison" between the affidavit and the warrant to discover any probable cause issues.

U.S. v. Stewart, 2014 WL 5354763 (10/22/14) (Col.) (unpub'd) - The 10th finds Mr. Stewart must have understood what his appeal waiver covered because he assured the judge he understood it, even though his attorney seemed a bit confused about the waiver at the plea hearing.

U.S. v. Wagner, 2014 WL 5394307 (10/24/14) (Wyo.) (unpub'd) - There was no reason for the district court to grant a further variance on the grounds that the handgun's relationship to the burglary was marginal given that it was in a locked safe in Mr. Wagner's car when he tried to break into a pharmacy. Mr. Wagner had stipulated to the enhancement for possession of a firearm in connection with a felony and counsel apologized to the district court for raising the "marginal" issue.

Pelletier v. U.S., 2014 WL 5334203 (10/21/14) (Col.) (unpub'd) - A procedural victory for a § 2241 petitioner. Contrary to the district court's ruling, Mr. Pelletier was "in custody" for habeas purposes where he was released on bond pending a removal hearing. That Mr. Pelletier must appear at immigration hearings scheduled at the discretion of the immigration court was enough to establish custody.

Cleveland v. Martin, 2014 WL 5368884 (10/23/14) (okl.) (unpub'd) - Qualified immunity applied to Mr. Cleveland's First and Eighth Amendment complaints against the prison denying him visitation with his minor children based on his previous conviction of child abuse. Although one can reasonably infer a "substantial hardship," the 10th states there is no clearly established right to familial association in the prison visitation context. Nor does visitation with minor children constitute a "necessity of life." So deprivation of that visitation is not cruel and unusual punishment.

There are changes to some commonly used guidelines, including those affecting drug quantity, felon in possession, and alien smuggling.Shari Allisonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9419672.post-27929084789792268692014-10-27T17:12:00.000-06:002014-10-27T17:12:20.862-06:00Tenth discusses divisibility and the modified categorical approach, and rejects 2255 petitioner's ineffective assistance of counsel claimU.S. v. Rodriguez, 2014 WL 5201900 (10/15/14) (Okl.) (Published) - In the context of a § 2255, the 10th discusses divisibility and the modified categorical approach. Mr. Rodriguez alleged his attorney should have argued the Texas assault statute was indivisible and therefore not amenable to the modified categorical approach. The Texas statute criminalizes both intentional and reckless conduct. If Mr. Rodriguez had been convicted of reckless conduct the conviction would not count for career offender purposes. Trial counsel acknowledged the statute was divisible, but argued Mr. Rodriguez's blanket guilty plea to the indictment, which charged both intentional and reckless assault, did not show which kind of assault Mr. Rodriguez was necessarily convicted of. The 10th had ruled that he was convicted of both kinds. The 10th pointed out counsel's strategy was not a bad one, because the almost identical argument prevailed in the Fifth Cirucit two months later in U.S. v. Espinoza, 733 F.3d 568 (2013). Also, counsel was not wrong for failing to argue indivisibility based on Descamps and Marrero, which remanded a modified categorical approach case in light of Descamps. Those cases, the 10th holds, didn't have any bearing on what statutes were or were not divisible. And the 10th had already held in U.S. v. Zuniga-Soto, 527 F.3d 1110 (2008), that the Texas assault statute was divisible. The 10th also held counsel's failure to seek certiorari could not be the basis for relief because there is no constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel for certiorari review.

Gutierrez-Borjas, 2014 WL 5151975 (10/15/14) (Col.) (unpub'd) - Imposing the 4-level enhancement for possessing a firearm in connection with another felony offense under § 2K2.1(b)(6)(B) was not plain error where Mr. Gutierrez-Borjas carried a gun hidden in his waistband while he broke into a home where his recently estranged wife was staying. It didn't matter that he didn't openly hold the gun. It is enough to violate Colorado's felony menacing statute that the defendant engaged in actions that, if discovered, would place the victim in fear. The victim does not have to actually be aware she is being threatened. The 10th acknowledged Mr. Gutierrez-Borjas's argument had "some force." So maybe the argument could be successful if preserved in district court.

Saleh v. U.S., 2014 WL 5293687 (10/17/14) (Col.) (unpub'd) - Another statement of the scary notion that if a defendant does not argue in the opening brief an error satisfies the plain error reversal standard then the defendant has waived such an argument even if the defendant raises it in the reply brief after the government claims the error was not preserved. In other words, we may have to argue plain error in our opening briefs even if we believe the issue was preserved if there's the slightest chance the 10th might see things differently.

U.S. v. Brown, 2014 WL 5304891 (10/17/14) (Ut.) (unpub'd) - In the course of rejecting Mr. Brown's claim that counsel was deficient in failing to make a particular argument against the loss amount under the fraud guidelines, the 10th says: "Counsel is expected to test problematic aspects of the government's case, but cannot be expected to run to ground every factual anomaly, particularly one retrieved post hoc from the bowels of the record."

(Published) - In the course of finding no abuse of discretion in permitting expert testimony, the 10th insists that reliability is primarily a question of the validity of the methodology employed, not the quality of the data used in applying the methodology. It is up to the jury to evaluate the reliability of the underlying data, assumptions and conclusions.Shari Allisonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9419672.post-6223235039716484892014-10-17T15:40:00.000-06:002014-10-17T15:40:00.059-06:00Defense-favorable decision on fraud guidelines; other issues not preservedU.S. v. Powers, 2014 WL 4801223 (9/29/14) (N.M.) (unpub'd) - The § 2B1.1(b)(14)(A) bump for a fraud where the defendant derives more than a million dollars in gross receipts does not apply even if the whole enterprise hauled in more than a million dollars if some of the criminally-responsible participants "earned" enough money to lower the defendant's individual take below a million dollars.

 The Rule 701, lay testimony argument on appeal was not preserved below. Despite numerous objections to bank employees' testimony, none mentioned the Rule 701 issue. In your basic mortgage fraud case, it was not plain error under Rule 701 to admit hypothetical testimony by bank employees that, if the fake incomes had been lower, and the buyers truthfully said the houses were investment properties, and the bank knew the money given at closing would be going to the buyers to make the mortgage payments, the bank would not have approved the loan. The witnesses did have personal knowledge of their employers' lending practices at the time of the offenses and of the particular documents involved by the time of trial. There's nothing inherently inappropriate in asking lay witnesses to answer hypothetical questions, especially when the answers are based on personal knowledge. The questions did not call for particularly specialized knowledge, only basic math, and only relied on the witness having a limited amount of expertise by virtue of his or her position in the business, not on outside expert reports.

 Mr. Powers did not preserve an objection to the admission of adoptive business records (one company keeping as business records another company's business records). He did file a proper motion in limine before trial, but the district court did not issue a definitive ruling because it denied the motion "subject to foundation being laid." Mr. Powers did not object to the relevant records at trial. So he's out of luck. Any error in admitting adoptive business records was not plain. Other circuits have adopted the adoptive-business-records doctrine and the 10th has been non-committal.Shari Allisonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9419672.post-47807600995919798782014-10-17T15:38:00.005-06:002014-10-17T15:38:48.812-06:00Upward variance based on speculation affirmedU.S. v. Zamarripa-Favela, 2014 WL 4921951 (10/2/14) (Kan.) (unpub'd) - Upward variance by the USDC Kansas affirmed. The court varied in a reentry case from a range of 15-21 months to a sentence of 36 months. The district court's speculation that 4 DUI convictions meant Mr. Z-F must have driven drunk on many other occasions was okay because it could sentence Mr. Z-F based on uncharged conduct. The 10th does not address the notion that due process requires some proof of uncharged conduct. The variance was not an abuse of discretion. It was based on that speculation, the dangerousness of the 4 DUIs and Mr. Z-F's 10 reentries. The court's policy disagreement as to how the Sentencing Commission treats prior DUIs is just fine. Finally, the 10th says the court didn't need to give detailed reasons for its sentence, which seems to conflict with the Lente case, 647 F.3d 1021, which requires an explicit consideration of material arguments against an upward variance.

Jones, 2014 WL 4938034 (10/3/14) (Wyo.) (Published) - A handy case for the next time you represent a cattle rancher. Mr. Jones is apparently a Cliven-Bundy-type rancher. He couldn't manage to keep his cattle and other stuff off of BLM property since the early 1990's. The 10th held there was sufficient evidence to convict him of 2 counts of unauthorized grazing on public lands given: testimony by several witnesses of his longstanding history of allowing his cattle to graze without permission on public lands; BLM ranger's testimony that the ranger made Mr. Jones aware of the public land boundary line; and tire marks from a dual-wheeled vehicle like Mr. Jones's found near a large number of grazing cattle. There was also sufficient evidence Mr. Jones was guilty of unauthorized use of public lands where: testimony indicated lumber, vehicles and other stuff were left on a BLM allotment; one of the vehicles left was registered to Mr. Jones; the ranger made Mr. Jones aware of the land's public status; Mr. Jones was given 60 days to remove the stuff; he promised to do so, but he didn't.

 The state's fence-out law, which apparently requires people to build fences to keep livestock out, does not apply to the BLM. Federal law reigns supreme. So Mr. Jones's proffered testimony by a sheriff that the sheriff believed the fence-out law should apply was irrelevant and, in any event, its admission would violate Evidence Rule 403 because it would cause jury confusion. Mr. Jones received due process by virtue of his trial. It didn't matter that his summons didn't bear the court's seal, that the Interior Secretary did not give written approval of the prosecution, that no administrative process was followed pre-prosecution, or that Mr. Jones received no notice a grazing violation would result in a criminal charge Can you tell this guy was representing himself?Shari Allisonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9419672.post-1070559123708175272014-10-17T15:36:00.002-06:002014-10-17T15:36:56.487-06:00Court finds IAC based on cross-examination of witness, but no prejudiceWest v. Farris, 2014 WL 4977587 (10/7/14) (Okl.) (unpub'd) - In this § 2254 case, the 10th finds it to be deficient performance when counsel crossed a state witness about his motivation to fabricate testimony to obtain a reduced sentence without knowing this would open the door to the admission of pre-snitching, consistent statements by the witness. But it was not unreasonable for the state courts to find the deficiency non-prejudicial because counsel was able to recall the witness and cross him about inconsistencies in his testimony that counsel had avoided for fear of opening the door. Also, the 10th was fine with the state courts' finding counsel's decision to be reasonably strategic in the following circumstances: the district attorney's staff told an alibi witness who showed up pursuant to a defense subpoena that she didn't have to worry about the subpoena because only the prosecution could lock her up; she disappeared; counsel couldn't find her in the courthouse and their investigator didn't find her at home; counsel eventually decided to proceed without her because the jury already heard the petitioner's alibi statement. Who needs corroboration of a defendant's alibi after all? If you can't believe the defendant, who can you believe?Shari Allisonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9419672.post-66497598323292187502014-10-17T15:35:00.000-06:002014-10-17T15:35:15.098-06:00Counsel was not deficient in failing to object to special conditions of supervised releaseU.S. v. Ray, 2014 WL 5032439 (10/9/14) (Kan.) (unpub'd) - The Supreme Court's decisions in the plea-bargain cases---Frye and Lafler---and in Padilla has not lowered the bar to obtain relief for ineffective assistance of counsel. Counsel did not act deficiently when counsel failed to object to the following supervised release conditions for a child porn defendant: prohibition on unsupervised contact with minors, prohibition on viewing adult porn, requirement of consent to access and examine internet-capable devices; and requirement of substance abuse treatment, where Mr. Ray used to smoke marijuana 3-6 times a week and drank alcohol every month or every other month when he was 20 years old.

Grigsby, 2014 WL 5072589 (10/10/14) (Kan.) (unpub'd) - A partial victory for a defendant acting for the victim. Contrary to the district court's belief, it had the authority to modify its restitution order to change the recipient for the benefit of the minor whom Mr. Grigsby had sexually exploited for child porn purposes. The authority arises from 18 U.S.C. § 3664(k) & 3572(d)(3), which allow modification when financial circumstances change. Mr. Grigsby alleged the child's mother, who received the restitution payments for the child, was neglecting the child to the point where the state had taken custody. He proposed setting up a trust fund. The 10th Circuit's reasoning might be helpful in case a defendant wants other changes in a restitution payment schedule. The 10th just said: "We can find nothing in the restitution-payment statutes which limits the district court from modifying a restitution order" for the purposes Mr. Grigsby sought. Ordinarily the 10th might want a specific authorization, but obviously the 10th wanted to do what Mr. Grigsby asked it to do.

 The district court also had authority to modify restitution payments in light of Mr. Grigsby's ongoing divorce proceedings, which might change his financial situation. On the other hand, he couldn't get his supervised release conditions modified. He hadn't appealed them and, besides, his request was a bit premature: he hadn't yet finished his 260-year sentence, which he started in 2013. Nor could Mr. Grigsby change the original restitution amount. He should have appealed that. And he lost his chance to get non-porn photos from his forfeited computer. He was given one chance and gave the photos to his wife. He'll have to fight about that in the divorce proceedings.

Taos County Board of Commissioners, 2014 WL 4723629 (9/24/14) (N.M.) (unpub'd) - A party is not entitled to an instruction that the jury can draw an adverse inference from an opponent's failure to preserve evidence unless the failure was intentional or in bad faith. Here the district court did not clearly err in holding there was no bad faith in failing to preserve taser evidence where the county policy only required officers to preserve taser evidence if a taser was discharged in dart-mode. In this case the taser was used in drive-stun mode.

U.S. v. Lake, 2014 WL 4694914 (9/23/14) (Okl.) (unpub'd) - Another chapter in the odd Lake case. This is the case where the government mistakenly conceded in the 10th that Alleyne prohibited the drug-death enhancement under § 2D1.1(a) based on judicial fact-finding. The 10th mistakenly bought the concession. On remand Mr. Lake's guideline range went down from 135-168 to 10-16 months. His sentence did not fall as far. It went from 135 to 95 months. The district court wasn't willing to forget the death. It upwardly varied in part because the heroin Mr. Lake shared with his son's drug-addict friend "resulted in and contributed to the drug addict's death." The district court claimed it would have imposed the same sentence "notwithstanding any judicial fact-finding." The 10th found the sentence substantively reasonable without noting the apparent inconsistency of not being allowed to increase the guideline range due to judicial fact-finding but being able to increase the sentence by variance based on the same judicial fact-finding.

Melot, 2014 WL 4783413 (9/26/14) (N.M.) (Published) - The 10th reverses sanctions imposed on tax avoiders. The evidence indicated the Melots had a friend file a motion to intervene in a case where the government sought an order to sell the Melots' real property to pay off tax assessments. The friend asserted he had a lien on the property. Unfortunately, this friend was living in prison, not in Hobbs, as he had claimed, and had no liens. At the end of the hearing on the matter the government sought reimbursement of its costs. The Melots' counsel responded that if Rule 11 sanctions were to be imposed the Melots were entitled to notice and an opportunity to be heard. Subsequently, the magistrate judge gave notice of a possible contempt hearing because of the Melots' deceptive lien intervention attempt. The district court, without holding the Melots in contempt, imposed sanctions: removal of Ms. Melot and her children from the property, cost reimbursement and imposition of filing restrictions. This violated due process. The Melots were not given notice or an opportunity to be heard with respect to the possible sanctions or the basis for the sanctions--i.e, that it would be based on the court's inherent authority, not Rule 11.Shari Allisonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9419672.post-46111081579039148212014-10-14T16:15:00.001-06:002014-10-14T16:15:29.629-06:00Tenth modifies the modified categorical approachU.S. Trent, 2014 WL 4746294 (9/25/14) (Okl.) (Published) - An important decision about the modified categorical approach. The 10th makes it harder to avoid the modified categorical approach. First, the 10th holds that a statute is divisible and thus subject to the modified categorical approach where it refers to all state criminal offenses. For example, in this case Oklahoma prohibits two or more people from conspiring to commit "any crime." That conspiracy offense is divisible into a "finite list" of every crime in the Oklahoma statutes. It's not a hypothetical list, just a lengthy one. The court may look to the judicial documents to see which crime the defendant was convicted of conspiring to commit. In this case those documents indicate Mr. Trent was convicted of conspiracy to manufacture meth. This is a "serious drug offense" under the ACCA because it "involves manufacturing a controlled substance" under § 924(e)(2)(A)(ii), Second, the 10th holds the alternatives don't necessarily have to be "elements" in the strictest sense, despite Descamps' emphasis on that term. That is, it is okay if under state law the jury could convict someone of conspiracy without agreeing unanimously on which crime the defendant conspired to commit. The modified categorical approach may be used if the judicial documents show the prosecutor only charged a conspiracy to commit one crime, as in this case. In such a circumstance we know the jury unanimously found a conspiracy to commit one particular crime. This seems to say you use the modified categorical approach to decide whether to use the modified categorical approach. Third, the 10th says its second holding doesn't matter in this case because in Oklahoma the jury must agree unanimously on the particular crime defendants conspire to commit. So the kind of crime is always an element in the strictest sense. In short, the 10th didn't need to make the second holding, but chose to do so anyway. The second holding may prove problematic in circumstances such as convictions under California's controlled-substance statutes, which don't make the identity of the controlled substance an element and which prohibit some drugs that are not controlled substances under federal law. Judge Seymour refused to go along with the second holding, but didn't explain why. The resulting 196-month sentence was not substantively unreasonable despite the fact that Mr. Trent's ADHD lead him to his problems with the law, he was fundamentally a good person, he has not committed any violence and didn't use his gun offensively.

The 10th also summarily addresses other issues. Importantly, while not helping Mr. Trent, the 10th does say: "we caution that courts should be hesitant to admit such evidence [a prior felon-in-possession (fip) conviction to show the knowledge needed to prove a current fip charge] under [FRE Rule 404(b)] because of the great danger of unfair prejudice. Indeed, the district court would not have abused its discretion had it refused to admit the evidence." But, despite this great prejudice, the 10th, following U.S. v. Moran, 503 F.3d 1135 (10th Cir. 2007), finds no abuse of discretion in admitting the prior conviction to show Mr. Trent knew the gun was in a car he shared with others. Since the question of knowing possession was debatable in this case the prior conviction was even more probative than in Moran. Trent is of no use on appeal, but helpful for trials. Also an insufficiency-of-the-evidence argument challenging the credibility of government witnesses "is doomed to failure" in the 10th's words. And defense counsel gets a compliment: "This is one of the more imaginative arguments presented to this court," the 10th says. But the 10th nonetheless strikes a blow against imagination, holding that putting in the instructions the indictment's reference to § 924(a)(2) was okay, despite counsel's concern that a juror might look up the statute, see Mr Trent only faced a max of 10 years and be more likely to convict than if the juror knew he faced life under the ACCA. Finally, the instruction that the government was not required to use all investigative techniques available to it was okay,even though part of Mr. Trent's defense was that shoddy investigation prevented the government from finding who really possessed the gun. The instruction didn't prevent the jury from concluding the faulty investigation undermined the credibility of the government's evidence.

Description

Eyewitnesses play an important role in criminal cases when they can identify culprits. Estimates suggest that tens of thousands of eyewitnesses make identifications in criminal investigations each year. Research on factors that affect the accuracy of eyewitness identification procedures has given us an increasingly clear picture of how identifications are made, and more importantly, an improved understanding of the principled limits on vision and memory that can lead to failure of identification. Factors such as viewing conditions, duress, elevated emotions, and biases influence the visual perception experience. Perceptual experiences are stored by a system of memory that is highly malleable and continuously evolving, neither retaining nor divulging content in an informational vacuum. As such, the fidelity of our memories to actual events may be compromised by many factors at all stages of processing, from encoding to storage and retrieval. Unknown to the individual, memories are forgotten,reconstructed, updated, and distorted. Complicating the process further, policies governing law enforcement procedures for conducting and recording identifications are not standard, and policies and practices to address the issue of misidentification vary widely. These limitations can produce mistaken identifications with significant consequences. What can we do to make certain that eyewitness identification convicts the guilty and exonerates the innocent?Shari Allisonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9419672.post-71914264774933231042014-10-03T16:23:00.002-06:002014-10-03T16:23:37.505-06:00U.S. v. Powell, 2014 WL 4670899 (9/22/14) (Colo.) - Mr. Powell was convicted of eleven counts of uttering or possessing forged checks, in violation of 18 USC § 513(a), with respect to his deposit of checks stolen from the US mail into various bank accounts he held. He maintained on appeal that (1) the indictment was invalid for failure to charge an offense, (2) the evidence and instructions unconstitutionally amended the indictment, and (3) there was insufficient evidence to support his convictions. The Tenth rejects the facial invalidity of the indictment argument, concluding the indictment (1) identified all relevant checks with sufficient specificity to enable a future double jeopardy defense and (2) gave fair notice that the forged checks were "of" a federally insured bank operating in interstate commerce. With respect to the variance and sufficiency of the evidence arguments, the Tenth interprets the "of" in the statute to require that a forged check be "of" a drawee bank that is federally insured, not "of" such a depository bank. Because there was no evidence on a number of counts of conviction that any of the forged checks' payors, payees, or drawee banks are organizations operating in interstate commerce, the court finds the plain error standard is met as to those counts and reverses.Shari Allisonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9419672.post-23599897807687267222014-10-03T16:22:00.000-06:002014-10-03T16:22:15.575-06:00U.S. v. Nance, 2014 WL 4695068 (9/23/14) (OK) - Mr. Nance was convicted of multiple counts of transporting child pornography and receiving or attempting to receive child pornography. He argued that; 1) the district court erred in admitting evidence of his uncharged bad acts under Federal Rule of Evidence 404(b)(2); and 2) there was insufficient evidence for a jury to find that he attempted to receive child pornography. The 10th affirmed his conviction because; 1) the trial court gave a limiting instruction to which Mr. Nance did not object and he could have - but didn't - ask for this instruction each time the bad act evidence was allowed; and 2) the government was not required to prove that Mr. Nance knew that the downloaded file contained child porn - rather it had to prove that he believed the file contained child porn, which it did.

Riggins, 2014 WL 4637960 (9/18/14) (Kan.) (unpub'd) - A worrisome preservation issue here. The 10th characterizes as procedural Mr. Riggins' argument that the district court did not provide sufficiently compelling justifications for the degree of an upward variance. Because of this characterization, the 10th said Mr. Riggins had to raise the "sufficiently compelling" argument in the district court, which he did not. Ordinarily a substantive-reasonableness argument doesn't have to be raised post-sentence. Plain error review followed. Arguably, the "sufficiently compelling" argument is more like a substantive-unreasonableness challenge. And other 10th Circuit judges might feel that way. But, in any event, this decision means that when defense counsel challenges the degree of variance, counsel should make a "sufficiently compelling" objection after the district court explains and announces its sentence, regardless of how vigorously counsel has argued that point before then.Shari Allisonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9419672.post-76148010917586255742014-10-01T16:08:00.002-06:002014-10-01T16:08:48.062-06:00Constitutional challenges to SORNA, child pornography statutes rejectedU.S. v. Brune, 2014 WL 4654572 (9/19/14) (Kan.) (Published) - For those of you who have been holding off on trying your SORNA or child porn cases in hopes that the 10th would find the relevant statutes unconstitutional, you might have to go to Plan B.

 (1) It is proper pursuant to the Necessary and Proper Clause to apply SORNA to someone convicted of a federal sex offense who finishes serving his sentence, including his supervised release term, and then fails to update his registration . There's no need for any interstate connection. The 10th says U.S. v. Kebodeaux, 133 S. Ct. 2496 (2013), which upheld sex registration requirements on someone convicted of a military sex offense, requires this result. When Mr. Brune was convicted in 2001 he was subject to the Wetterling Act sex registration requirements and then he was subject to the SORNA registration requirements when that Act came into effect in 2006. Because of those requirements he was never unconditionally released from federal oversight. First, the child porn statute Mr. Brune was convicted of violating in 2001 was a valid exercise of the Commerce Clause to regulate interstate trafficking of child porn. Second, SORNA's registration requirements are a limited and rational extension of congressional power, as permitted by the Necessary and Proper Clause.

 (2) 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(5)(B), which prohibits possessing, or accessing with intent to view, materials containing child porn images, is not facially unconstitutionally overbroad. The 10th concedes an imprecise law that criminalizes access to Lolita or Woody Allen's Manhattan would be unconstitutional. But here Mr. Brune did not show any impermissible applications of § 2252A(a)(5)(B) would be substantial in comparison to the unprotected criminal speech, which is child porn. Mr. Brune contended the provision could reach protected speech because it doesn't require that the defendant specifically intend to view a child porn image, only the material containing the child porn. The 10th didn't think Mr. Brune came up with any examples of constitutionally valuable speech that would be punishable under the provision. Mr. Brune also contended the phrase "any other material" was expansive enough to sweep in broad categories of media protected by the First Amendment to the point that just looking at the internet would be a violation because the viewer knows it contains child porn somewhere in there. The 10th indicates this would raise a constitutional issue, but the 10th interpreted "any other material" in light of the words preceding it under the ejusdem generis principle---the broad word should have a meaning no more expansive than the more definite words accompanying it, in this case: "book, magazine, periodical, film, videotape and computer disk." So "material" only refers to "concrete forms of media that are used to capture, store, or deliver information as a means of communication"---"tangible illustrations of media, not mediums themselves." So "material" doesn't mean the internet. Once the internet is excluded from the definition, the inclusion of any other possible material wouldn't create a realistic danger of chilling protected speech. That downloadable images on the internet are automatically stored in a computer cache without the computer user necessarily knowing that doesn't raise a problem, the 10th says. The government still must prove the defendant knowingly accessed the particular URL. Without a pattern of child-porn-related searches immediately preceding the creation of the images it would be hard for the government to prove its case. Plus the statute requires the offender to know the material contains child porn.

 Judge Phillips concurs in part and in the judgment. He sees no need for the 10th to go through the folderal of a constitutional analysis of the child porn statute. He believes § 2252A(a)(5)(B) requires the defendant to intend to view the child porn itself, not just the material containing the child porn. Without deciding the issue, the majority indicated the statute's language might not require such an intent. Judge Phillips relies on the legislative history for his interpretation. His interpretation eliminates the constitutional problem. Intentionally viewing child porn is not entitled to First Amendment protection.Shari Allisonhttp://email@example.com

Brown Sugar-Chocolate Fudge
Servings: Makes 40 pieces or 3 bars
- 12 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 7-ounce jar marshmallow creme
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups (packed) dark brown sugar
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 3/4 cup whipping cream
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 40 paper or foil candy cups (optional)
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Line 11x7-inch metal baking pan with foil, overlapping sides by 3 inches. Combine first 4 ingredients in large bowl. Stir sugar, condensed milk, cream, butter, and salt in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves (no granules will remain when drop of mixture is rubbed between fingertips), occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush, about 10 minutes. Attach clip-on candy thermometer to side of pan. Increase heat to high and bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat to medium-high and stir constantly but slowly with wooden spatula until thermometer registers 230°F, about 15 minutes.
Immediately pour mixture over ingredients in bowl (do not scrape pan). Stir mixture vigorously with wooden spoon until chocolate melts and fudge thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to prepared baking pan; smooth top of fudge with rubber spatula. Sprinkle fudge with chocolate chips. Refrigerate fudge until firm enough to cut, about 2 hours.
Using foil as aid, lift fudge from pan. Fold down foil sides. Trim edges of fudge to even. Cut into 40 squares or 3 large wide bars. Place fudge squares in candy cups, if desired. DO AHEAD Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Chill in airtight container. Let stand at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour before serving.

Bulletin boards: The electronic kind, and the old fashioned kindSubmitted by Michael Nystrom on Tue, 02/25/2014 - 21:34
I do have a sense of nostalgia for the old fashioned kind. They're not as common as they used to be.

I am 25 and love Craigslist,
I am 25 and love Craigslist, it is much more functional than the old style boards. Most of the things I buy used and I love being able to troll for a while until that item comes up then quickly look up the market price, contact the seller with an offer and put together a deal. I do feel like I am buying drugs sometimes when I meet people in parking lots etc lol

Knowing where the kiosks are is really important when hanging Ron Paul hand made posters.. Most universities have them, one for the college (may be encased, as is the post office, museums, city hall or chamber of commerce.. open kiosks are usually at laudry mats, some coffee shops (not corporate) public Library.
Mendocino city had a corner old redwood fence, plastered with flyers, so the city wound up enclosing a little case for selected flyers, and then a new place, old redwood fence, tins of flyers.. still the best communication for communities.
Barber shops
still have the old fashioned kind, some do. mine does.
I have a good friend who is a barber. He is a Ron Paul/Chuck Baldwin guy. I have never been in his shop though, I guess I should go. It is a very little place.
He has done a lot for local liberty candidates.
Go for it man!
I checked today and mine still has one of the old style ones. I think I may have convinced her to buy a Berkey because of all the crap in the city water.

The small natural/organic markets I shop in
have bulletin boards like that. In this land of super--markets and mass merchandising outlets and drive-thru fast food places and cavernous home centers and huge bookstores - with a revolving door staff of minimum-wage workers with no connection to their job assignments, that is, with all the old, smaller stores gone, the kind of places where you got to know the owners and staff, who were knowledgeable in their respective fields (books, hardware, etc.), in my personal experience it's only the organic markets that still reflect a sense of community.
With now super-organic markets and organic food sold in regular huge supermarkets, I wonder if the smaller organic stores *and sense of community they've held onto* will also soon disappear.
P.S. I've also got an "old fashioned" corkboard bulletin board right here beside me. Three recent treasures to go up are jam session related, photos/screenshots that made me smile that I printed out. :)

Yes, there was a great one at the co op in Cambridge
It was like a whole, big gigantic wall! Messy and unruly. I loved to just go there and comb through it all for all the interesting things and interesting people. I guess the DP is kind of like an electronic version of that.
Then the coop closed, and moved across the street, and the new one is smaller. And somehow, in the short period of time since 2005, things have changed. The internet wasn't as big then as it is now.
Whole Foods has made a big push into Boston. They don't have bulletin boards like this. They have sterile ones that are controlled by the staff. The community feeling of the coop is definitely gone. In fact, I worked in the coop the first year I got here. We were pretty broke, and by volunteering like that, I got an extra discount on groceries. But that is gone, too. There is a nostalgia for that as well.
Hey, I'd like to see that bulletin board of yours too!
I wanna see those!
One of them is a Jon Voight/Flat Boy Slim poster.
Do you know the surrealist Magritte? Here are two of his paintings.
Well, in the Fat Boy Slim video, when Jon Voight goes flying across the ceiling, there's a moment when he's suspended in front of this oil painting of ships at sea.
It reminded me of a Magritte. So, my lo-tech improvisation,... I took a screen shot, cropped around the frame (it's not perfect because of perspective), and printed it out.
If you key this up to 3:19 (and mentally crop it), you'll see what my very own John Voight Magritte poster looks like up there on my old-fashioned corkboard bulletin board. It makes me happy to see it. :)

Just FYI:)
Oops, thanks for the correction!
Yes, I do know it was Christopher Walken. I do that all the time! Indeed, sometimes I'll go to call him John Savage, too (or visa versa). And no offense to Jon Voight or John Savage, but... it's Christopher Walken I think is the sexiest guy alive. :)

I keep one of the old fashioned kind
I keep one of the old fashioned kind in a sacred place. It's the last of it's kind that remains in my daily world. It's hanging in my bathroom on the wall above my toilet.
I would probably have kept more than just that last one, but because all my kitchen cabinets are metal, I am relieved to engage magnets instead of thumbtacks
as magnets are easier on the feet when dropped and lost.
Thats such an interesting thing to be nostalgic for
I don't think that is something I have noticed much amongst the things I notice disappearing because of technology. I'll probably notice a good bulletin board next time I see one now.
In Greek, "nostalgia" literally means the pain from an old wound. It's a twinge in your heart.
Yes, I have heard that about nostalgia :)
It is an apt description. "A twinge in your heart."
Nostalgia is a very personal thing, so you might not feel it about bulletin boards. Maybe I feel it more acutely because there were some really good ones that just up and disappeared during my stay here in Boston.
I just found this one recently, at a new cafe not far from my house that I just started frequenting. It is tucked away in the back, by the bathrooms. I like going back there and looking at it -- all those messages.
Yes, it was an awesome video. Thanks for that, kiddo.
I get a nostalgic twinge in
I get a nostalgic twinge in my foot sometimes when it rains. When I feel a slight throbbing in a couple places on the bottom, in my heel and arch, I remember being a relatively barefoot child and my mother's relatively endless supply of bulletin board pushpins.
They are where I live,
Quartzsite Arizona!!! (population about 3,000 year round, 30,000 in the winter) there are at least 6 places in town where people post all kinds of stuff. I love 'em!

16 September 2009 - Enel, an Italy-based utility and power company, has signed an agreement with the Chineese Ministry of Science and Technology for capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2).
Enel said that under the agreement, it will conduct a feasibility study for using carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology at a Chinese coal fired plant, for capturing the CO2 produced and injecting it into an oilfield, thereby increasing crude oil production.
According to Enel, the Italy-China partnership will promote the exchange of information between the researchers of the two countries.
Enel has also developed a programme, currently under review by the European Union for the disbursement of funding under the European Economic Recovery Plan, to build a full-scale plant that, starting in 2015, will make it possible to capture CO2 generated by the coal fired power plant to be built in Porto Tolle.
The company added that it will use the experience it has gained in designing and constructing a pilot system that will allow it to test CO2 capture technology at its Federico II Plant in Brindisi starting in 2010.

Completely sickens me that he is the next "top guy" and that all of the idiots who love him just love him to death and only do so because WWE tells you to. I absolutley hate him, and if he is WWE's future then screw the WWE"

[2.0] "He is honestly one of the worst wrestlers in the business. He does around 5 moves, Superman Punch, Spear, Samoan Drop, Punch, and Clothesline. He is very boring on the mic and really has no charisma. The only way he gets reactions is by swearing and dissing John Cena. He has no real talent and I don't get why the WWE seriously thinks he's better than Rollins and Ambrose."

[2.0] "Roman Reigns really sucks. No, I'm not saying this because now it's cool to insult him. I always disliked him. I always thought he wasn't good enough. I'm glad to say I was right, because I knew he sucked since day one. I really don't understand how it's possible that his current rating is so high, but I have to admit WWE made a great work with himto make him look great to smarks while he just sucks. Seriously, he sucks in-ring and he sucks even with the mic skills. There's a reason if he had so poor singles match. His big problems isn't even the all same five movesbecause every wrestler performs all the same moves, even though probably he can't actually do more than this. His problem is that he doesn't have any of in-ring storytelling and psychologyhe doesn't know yet how to stay in the ring. I saw him wrestle since FCW/NXT, and I can say that I don't see all this improvements that almost everyone were talking about. I mean, he surely improved, but it's not enough to me, and he wrestled since more than 4 years already. People say that "he has the potential", but I don't see that, and he is 29 already. "He is just green", or "Give him time". No, just no. He simply totally sucks. In The Shield he seemed good simply because of Ambrose and Rollins, and because WWE booked and protected him perfectly. Now WWE is going to make him the new Cena, but Reigns doesn't even have a 1/10 of Cena's capacity. So I give him two points, which rapresent him pretty perfectly: inadeguate."

His mic work is far better than anyone would have previously guessed too, however, after splitting from the Shield, you can see a lot of his weaknesses as a wrestler. In-ring, he needs to be carried by a capable performer, and has a very limited moveset. A lot of potential, but needs work."

[0.0] "Extremely weak wrestler with absolutely no redeeming quality a wrestler should have except is "good looks". Can't work a match, can't cut a promo, looks like he needs an oxygen tank after 5 minutes in the ring, is there ANYTHING he can do? After all this sucking he is pushed to the moon more so than someone more infinitely talented than him like Dean Ambrose? DISGRACE."

[8.0] "Roman has a very intimidating presence. He reminds me of Stone Cold. He's got that badass feel to him unlike the happy go luckies Cena and Hogan. I think Roman's gonna be huge but he's becoming a bit repetitive. He really should start coming up with new offense though. Fans are gonna get really sick of the superman punch, spear, powerbomb."

TUESDAY, Oct. 5 (HealthDay News) -- The use of advanced radiographic techniques during injury-related emergency department visits has increased despite no real change in the number of life-threatening or admission-requiring diagnoses, according to research published in the Oct. 6 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Frederick Kofi Korley, M.D., of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, and colleagues conducted a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of emergency department visits using data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey from 1998 to 2007. The purpose of the study was to determine whether there has been a change in the proportion of injury-related visits during which a computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan was obtained, and whether diagnosis of life-threatening conditions and patient disposition have changed.
The researchers found a significant increase in use of MRI and CT during injury-related emergency department visits over the study period (6 percent increasing to 15 percent). The prevalence of life-threatening conditions over this period rose only slightly and there was no significant change in admission to the hospital or intensive care unit. The researchers noted that visits including MRI or CT scanning lasted 126 minutes longer than visits that did not include them.
"Time and monetary costs are associated with obtaining advanced radiology, and potential health risks occur for the patients receiving MRI or CT. Further work is needed to understand the patient, hospital, and physician factors responsible for this increase and to optimize the risk-benefit balance of advanced radiology use," write the authors.

From the perspective of the psychologist, why do older men seek younger women for illegal sexual relationships? Why would someone videotape such an act? What is the impact on the young woman? And how can fans appreciate the music of someone accused of such acts without thinking about those crimes?
Charmaine Jake-Matthews is a professor of psychology who teaches professional counseling at a university in Arizona. She attended Kenwood Academy in Hyde Park with R. Kelly and the two shared a mentor in the legendary gospel choir teacher Lena McLin. She previously worked as a therapist in Chicago and taught psychology at several local colleges, in addition to counseling troubled teens.
Here are some of the highlights of Jake-Matthews' interview:
[On the prevalence of older men preying on younger women] "In my work as a counselor I've seen many young ladies who have been in that situation at some point in their lives…. I've seen many young ladies who have been, I'm going to use the word "victim," a victim of these situations. It seems to happen pretty frequently from my experience, both professional and personal."
"The impact in my experience is devastating.
