Judge Lets Suit Against FBI Agent Proceed; Pasadena Man Was Shot in The Face
The Baltimore Sun
A federal judge in Baltimore ruled yesterday that a $10 million excessive-force claim can go forward against an FBI agent who shot an unarmed Pasadena man in the face after mistaking him for a bank robber. It was a key hurdle in the closely watched case involving Special Agent Christopher R. Braga, who shot Joseph C. Schultz with an M-4 rifle during a botched arrest March 1 last year.
In a 24-page opinion, U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz ruled that there was not enough evidence to dismiss Schultz's claim.
Braga, in requesting dismissal of the suit, contended that he had immunity because he is a federal agent.
"I am not prepared to say without development of a complete factual record ... that a law enforcement officer has qualified immunity to shoot an innocent person ... who is attempting to comply with the officer's direction even if his hands may have momentarily gone out of the officer's view," Motz wrote. Schultz, now 21, was shot after agents searching for a bank robber mistakenly stopped the car being driven by Kristen M. "Krissy" Harkum, then his girlfriend.
Braga told Schultz to unlock his door and get out of the car. As Schultz tried to comply with the order, he was shot.
Schultz's lawyer, Arnold M. Weiner, said the judge's opinion not to throw the case out because of immunity is telling. "Motz's ruling was critical to the case because in these types of cases, the defense is almost always based in claims of immunity," Weiner said.
Braga said in his request to dismiss the case, which he filed in May, that he fired when Schultz appeared to reach for his waist, as if to pull out a weapon.
Motz ruled that because Schultz and Harkum did not try to run from the agents - and were complying with their orders - he would allow the case to go forward.
Harkum, now 17, was not wounded in the shooting but is also a plaintiff in the $10 million lawsuit. She seeks compensation for "severe emotional injury."
In his opinion, Motz also dealt with other claims in Schultz's suit, dismissing some.
He threw out a claim against Braga that the agent should not have stopped Schultz's car.
Braga's lawyer, Andrew C. White, called Motz's ruling a partial victory for his client. "It is not a complete victory for Agent Braga, but it is a very substantial victory," White said.
The lawsuits also name as defendants two of Braga's supervisors, agents Henry F. Hanburger and Lawrence S. Brosnan.
Motz tossed out all claims against Brosnan. His lawyer, John Bourgeois, said the judge ruled appropriately.
Motz also threw out a claim against Hanburger that he was negligent in the way he supervised the search and seizure of Schultz's car.
One claim against Hanburger, that he is liable for ordering the agents to stop the car, remains.
The lawsuit filed by Schultz and Harkum alleges the agents disregarded bureau arrest policies and then played down the potentially deadly results.
On the day of the shooting, FBI agents were told by a tipster to look for Michael J. Blottenberger, who was suspected of driving the getaway vehicle, a red Honda Civic, in the robbery of a Pasadena bank branch.
The agents expected Blottenberger to be at a 7-Eleven convenience store, riding in a red car and wearing a white baseball cap.
Schultz and Harkum said in their lawsuit that the agents wrongly zeroed in on their vehicle after Schultz, wearing a white cap, emerged from the store and got into Harkum's red Pontiac Grand Am.
Schultz suffered several injuries to his head and underwent
reconstructive surgery. According to his suit, he suffers from
"severe emotional and psychological injuries."

Tournament season now in full swing
A look at Orange County baseball:
Two tournaments start this week. The 78-team Anaheim Lions Tournament starts Friday at various sites and concludes April 2 with the championship game at Glover Stadium. The Boras Classic begins Saturday and concludes with the championship game April 5 at Mater Dei.
Both tournaments have informative websites: anaheimlions tourney.com; and borasclassic.com.
Tournaments coming up in April: The Ryan Lemmon Invitational, which begins April 12; and the National Classic, which starts April 14.
Top games this week: today, Woodbridge at Northwood; Wednesday, Mission Viejo at El Toro, Huntington Beach at Fountain Valley, San Juan Hills at San Clemente, and Trabuco Hills at Tesoro; Friday, Capistrano Valley at Mission Viejo, and El Toro at Trabuco Hills.
Aliso Niguel and Orange Lutheran are in Cary, N.C., for the National High School Invitational that begins Wednesday. The tournament is organized and managed by USA Baseball.
Aliso Niguel opens the tournament against Dyer County of Newbern, Tenn., which is No. 11 in Baseball America's national rankings. Orange Lutheran's first game is against Coral Springs Christian of Florida. The tournament began in 2012 and has been won by Mater Dei both years. It concludes Saturday.
Trabuco Hills is 8-2, with its losses to Esperanza and Mater Dei. The Mustangs have a win over Huntington Beach. The game Wednesday against Tesoro will be the Mustangs' South Coast League opener.
Cameron Bondy of Laguna Hills pitched a complete game Saturday in the Hawks' 2-1 win over Centennial of Compton. He struck out 16, was 3 for 3 and drove in the winning run.
The Dolphins' hitters got deserved credit in Dana Hills' 8-4 win over Aliso Niguel last week in a Sea View League game. Dana Hills coach Tom Faris spread the praise to pitcher Louis Raymond, who survived 11 hits to produce a complete game.
JSerra freshman left-handed pitcher Jack Owen appeared in two Lions victories last week, allowing no runs with 12 strikeouts and three walks in 92/3 innings. JSerra has won seven in a row since losing its season opener to Palm Desert by one run in the Newport Elks Tournament.
Edison is off to an 8-3 start and is 1-0 in league under first-year coach Cameron Chinn. Former Los Alamitos coach Mark Clabough is on the Chargers' coaching staff.
Crean Lutheran is the only county team at No. 1 in a CIF-Southern Section divisional top 10. Crean is 6-0, the only undefeated team in county baseball. The Saints have beaten four larger, public-school teams – Costa Mesa, Magnolia, Rancho Alamitos and Santa Ana.
JSerra is No. 2 in Division 1, behind Harvard-Westlake of Studio City. Other county teams in their divisions' top 5: Huntington Beach, No. 5 in Division 1; Dana Hills, No. 5 in Division 2; Sonora and Laguna Beach, Nos. 3 and 4, respectively, in Division 4; and Capistrano Valley Christian, No. 3 in Division 6.
The Register's top 10 is a poll of five media members. Here is how this panelist voted this week: 1. JSerra; 2. Huntington Beach; 3. San Clemente; 4. Fountain Valley; 5. Esperanza; 6. Los Alamitos; 7. Dana Hills; 8. Tesoro; 9. Aliso Niguel; 10. Edison.

Obama Cincinnati visit causes traffic problems equivalent to half inch of snow
CINCINNATI, OH - President Obama's visit to Cincinnati prompted widespread traffic problems in the Tri-State. Though officials knew the back-ups would happen, they were shocked to discover that the event became the same catastrophic traffic equivalent caused by a full half an inch of snow.
Security measures and blocked roads are standard whenever a President or other dignitary makes a trip through an area. Some felt that Cincinnati is uniquely qualified to handle traffic problems due to even the smallest of snowfalls crippling the city's roadways. "I'll bet if this was going on in Chicago or New York everyone would be freaking out," said UC student Adam Edwards. "But it's old hat here in Cincinnati. We just tighten up the seatbelt and pretend we've got flurries."
Many Cincinnati residents heard news of slow traffic and instinctively began doing what they would do in a snowstorm. "After half an hour of not moving on Columbia Parkway," said Marty Fisher. "I took the first chance I could to get to the supermarket. I loaded up the car with milk, bread, tuna and water and got back on the road to crawl home. I suppose it was a false alarm, but I'll try to store some of it away in my "wintery mix" emergency kit."
Others were alarmed by the situation, especially after last year's mild winter. "I didn't even have Tim Hedrick to warn me ahead of time," said visibly shaken Rebecca Hamilton. "I was out driving on the road and suddenly I we were going really slow. I looked up to the heavens trying to figure out what was causing it and did not have an answer. It was one of those moments where you just want to call your entire family and tell them that you love them."
Local highway officials say that the problems experienced by drivers could have been much worse. "We're lucky we did not get hit harder," said Hamilton County engineer Brian Rhodes. "A President and a Vice President, that's like an inch of snow. A President plus a foreign dignitary, that's like three inches. And a summit meeting with multiple world leaders, well, you might as well garage your car because you're not gonna need it for months."

New online trade site free and fruity
Relevant offers
Move over Trade Me, here comes Bananas4Free.
A new Timaru-owned online auction and trading site reckons it can "raise the bar" for such activities - and it's all for free.
Where the company differs from the Trade Me big brother, is that it not only provides an online auction site but also has classified ads and a "wanted to buy" section, as well as giving users the ability to set up shops, company spokesman, former Timaru man, James Hamilton said.
If you think it's a bit of a David and Goliath situation, Mr Hamilton suggests it pays to remember the search engine contest that arose when Google overtook the established Yahoo site, and how Facebook came out the winner over the earlier MySpace social networking option.
The fact that other online auction sites had failed, proved the value of Trade Me's smart design and the first-mover advantage websites retain until customers are motivated to change, Mr Hamilton said. Customers would move when another site offered better features or a new concept.
As well as the online trading element, the Bananas4Free site offers online chat and social networking and encourages users to talk to each other directly as opposed to transactions being done anonymously.
Because there is no fee to collect from the trade, communication is encouraged with online and video chat. So too are Facebook and Twitter, letting you "like" and "tweet" trades and see real people with real friends and reputations.
Because of the openness of the site, parties can choose whether to haggle, discuss viewing, get a friend to "check it out", agree on a deal and make pickup and delivery arrangements.
Mr Hamilton suggests such a model is more akin to historic village marketplace trading, where trust and confidence prevailed.
"It is a great improvement on the current reliance on authentication and feedback."
Ask how the company will make money when it is offering so much for free, and there is reference to Facebook and its present day value thanks to online advertising.
And while confident the concept will work, those behind the company suggest they have little to lose if it doesn't work out. Just as Wikipedia does, the company will accept donations for its services. Users get to decide the value of the service to them, paying accordingly.
As for the name, the creators are confident it is one people will remember. It is still early days, but South Canterbury traders are already using the site, ranging from a gallery selling artwork, to a Waimate trader offering a 10 kilogram anchor for $200.

Make-up free Anne Hathaway shows off her long legs in hot pants as she splashes around in the Miami surf
She's known for her red carpet glamour, and Anne Hathaway proved she brings the same elegant sense of style to her beach wear.
The 31-year-old was spotted make-up free as she enjoyed a dip in the sea on Sunday in Miami after a whirlwind publicity tour for her latest film Rio 2.
The actress showed off her slender figure and long legs in a pair of pink hot pants as she splashed around in the gentle surf.
LEG-end: Anne Hathaway is seen enjoying a day on the beach with friends in Miami, Floridaay
Immersing herself: Anne Hathaway took a dip in the sea on Sunday in Miami
With her brunette bob slicked back the Les Miserables star wore tortoise shell sunglasses as she waded waist deep into the turquoise waters.
Displaying her slender frame in a purple one-piece, Anne was seen dipping her head back into the ocean - clearly enjoying her time in the sun and surf.
As she emerged from the waters she was met by husband Adam Schulman who wrapped her in a big beach towel.

Fighting fit: The 31-year-old showed off her slim pins in hot pants
Anne Hathaway and husband Adam Shulman take a break from promoting 'Rio 2' the movie in Miami Beach
Relaxing: The star dipped her head back in the aqua-blue waters
Wrapping up: Anne dried off as her husband Adam Schulman came to her aid
As she left the ocean Anne was spotted wearing a delicate white beach dress over her swimwear that was another example of her winning and elegant style.
Adam for his part wore blue shorts and white polo shirt with a graphic heart emblazoned across his left breast.
Wearing a silver watch, the handsome man also sported sunglasses and a wedding band on his left ring finger.
Covering up: The Les Miserables star slipped into a beach dress as she left the seashore
Getting there: As the couple left the beach Anne wore a stripy top
Meanwhile, the Oscar-winner appears to be making the most of her free time after completing two films back to back.
Anne once again voices the role of Jewel in the animated sequel Rio 2, which opens in US theatres on April 11.
She'll also get to flex her dramatic skills in the sci-fi flick Interstellar opposite Matthew McConaughey, which follows a group of explorers who push the limits of space travel and conquer vast distances during an interstellar journey.
Directed by The Dark Knight's Christopher Nolan, it's due for release on November 7.
Quick change: Later, Anne looked crisp and fresh in a white sundress, sunglasses and bare feet

This biography of Ulysses S. Grant paints a revealing portrait of one of America's most paradoxical leaders. In 2011 AMERICAN EXPERIENCE will rebroadcast this film as U.S. Grant: Warrior, an abridged 90-minute version of the film, focusing on Grant as a Civil War hero and a brilliant military strategist who rose from obscurity to a rank held previously only by George Washington.
In 1844, President James K. Polk ran on a Democratic platform that supported manifest destiny, the idea that Americans were predestined to occupy the entire North American continent. The last act of Polk's predecessor, John Tyler, had been to annex the Republic of Texas in 1845. Polk wanted to lay claim to California, New Mexico, and land near the disputed southern border of Texas. Mexico, however, was not so eager to let go of these territories.
Polk started out by trying to buy the land. He sent an American diplomat, John Slidell, to Mexico City to offer $30 million for it. But the Mexican government refused to even meet with Slidell. Polk grew frustrated. Determined to acquire the land, he sent American troops to Texas in January of 1846 to provoke the Mexicans into war.
When the Mexicans fired on American troops in April 25, 1846, Polk had the excuse he needed. He declared, "[Mexico] has invaded our territory and shed American blood upon American soil," and sent the order for war to Congress on May 11.
The act was a questionable one. Many Northerners believed that Polk, a Southerner, was trying to gain land for the slaveholding South. Other Americans simply thought it was wrong to use war to take land from Mexico. Among those was Second Lieutenant Ulysses S. Grant. Although during the war he expressed no reservations about it, he would later call the war "one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation. It was an instance of a republic following the bad example of European monarchies, in not considering justice in their desire to acquire additional territory."
Despite arguments over whether the war was right, Americans had tremendous success on the battlefield. Young officers like Grant and Robert E. Lee, who would later lead armies against one another in the Civil War, had their first combat experiences in Mexico. Generals Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott won a series of remarkable victories against the Mexican armies. This success was in spite of the fact that Mexican troops outnumbered the Americans in most cases. In September of 1847, after a masterful overland campaign, American troops under Scott captured Mexico's capital, Mexico City, and the fighting ended.
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo sealed the American victory in 1848. In return for $15 million and the assumption of Mexican debts to Americans, Mexico gave up its hold over New Mexico and California. The enormous territory included present-day California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado and Wyoming. Mexico also agreed to finally relinquish all of Texas, including the disputed area along the border. The U.S. Congress approved the treaty on March 10.
Although the Mexican War had been won, the conflict over what to do with the vast amounts of territory gained from the war sparked further controversy in the U.S. The question over whether slavery would spread to these new territories would drive North and South even further apart.

On Monday, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued a statement criticizing the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Oregon, by more than a dozen armed militants:
While the disagreement occurring in Oregon about the use of federal lands is not a Church matter, Church leaders strongly condemn the armed seizure of the facility and are deeply troubled by the reports that those who have seized the facility suggest that they are doing so based on scriptural principles. This armed occupation can in no way be justified on a scriptural basis. [LDS]
The apparent leader of the Malheur occupation, Ammon Bundy, said in a video posted Friday that God had told him to take a stand for now-jailed ranchers Dwight and Steven Hammond and against the federal government's public lands policies. After praying, "I began to understand how the Lord felt about Harney County and about this country, and I clearly understood that the Lord was not pleased with what was happening to the Hammonds," Bundy said. The Bundy clan — including father Cliven Bundy — is Mormon, and has a long history of land conflicts with the federal government, dating back to at least great-great-grandfather Abraham Bundy, according to OPB.
And Mormonism also has a long, sometimes bloody history of standoffs with the government, mostly resolved since the mid-20th century but still alive in the rural West, among families like the Bundys. "The Oregon standoff isn't a 'Mormon movement,' but it does ultimately represent the mixing of Mormon themes, common Western land use issues, and the rhetoric of far-right patriot groups," explains BuzzFeed's Jim Dalrymple. You can read more about Mormonism and the Oregon standoff at BuzzFeed, OBP, and The Oregonian, but a few points seem worth highlighting.
First, the Mormon Church considers the U.S. Constitution divinely inspired — a point Cliven Bundy has used to equate the Constitution with scripture — so when the Bundy militia talks about defending their understanding of the Constitution, they are very consciously mixing church and state. Second, Captain Moroni is a figure from the Book of Mormon famous for standing up for liberty against a corrupt king in about 100 B.C., and he has also become an icon for some anti-government extremists in the modern West. Which explains why this guy is in Oregon:

Mormon scripture, BuzzFeed's Dalrymple notes, explicitly pledges fealty to "being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law." Peter Weber
As the Juno spacecraft passed through the "bow shock" outside of Jupiter's magnetosphere on June 24, the probe's instruments picked up the cacophony that accompanied the dramatic event.
"The bow shock is analogous to a sonic boom," Juno team member William Kurth of the University of Iowa said in a statement. "The solar wind blows past all the planets at a speed of about a million miles per hour, and where it hits an obstacle, there's all this turbulence." The magnetosphere is "the bubble in which the giant planet's magnetic field controls the movement of particles," Space.com explains, and is the largest structure in the solar system. Listen to the sounds of Jupiter below. Catherine Garcia
The Royal Caribbean cruise ship "Anthem of the Seas" is returning to Bayonne, New Jersey, Thursday night after a child was discovered in a pool.
The child is currently on life support, ABC New York reports. The ship will be met at the port by firefighters, and the child will be transported to a local hospital. The Coast Guard was notified of the incident at around 7 p.m. No information has been released on the child's age or hometown, or how long the child might have been in the water before being found.

After breezing through Jupiter's magnetosphere, NASA's Juno spacecraft is on track to begin orbiting the planet on the 4th of July.

"We've just crossed the boundary into Jupiter's home turf," principal investigator Scott Bolton of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio said in a statement Thursday. "We're closing in fast on the planet itself and already gaining valuable data." Juno was fully inside Jupiter's magnetosphere, the largest structure in the solar system, by June 25, NASA said. The magnetosphere extends about 5 astronomical units beyond Jupiter (each AU is about 93 million miles), and if it "glowed in visible light, it would be twice the size of the full moon as seen from Earth," Juno team member William Kurth of the University of Iowa said.
Juno was launched in August 2011, and over the next 18 months, the plan is for the spacecraft to circle around Jupiter more than 30 times, using nine different scientific instruments to gather data. NASA hopes to map out the planet's magnetic and gravitational fields and determine if it has a core or not, Space.com reports, and also gain new information about the universe as a whole. "What Juno's really about is learning about the recipe for how solar systems are made," Bolton said. Catherine Garcia
An investigation is underway regarding a fatal crash in Florida last month involving a tractor trailer and a Tesla Model S with the autopilot feature deployed.
Tesla says this is the first known fatal crash of its kind involving the Model S. In a statement, Tesla said the vehicle was driving on a divided highway with the autopilot on, when a tractor trailer drove across the highway perpendicular to the Model S. "Neither autopilot nor the driver noticed the white side of the tractor trailer against a brightly lit sky, so the brake was not applied," the statement said. The victim was killed after the car went under the tractor trailer. "Had the Model S impacted the front or rear of the trailer, even at high speed, its advanced crash safety system would likely have prevented serious injury as it has in numerous other similar incidents," Tesla said.
The autopilot function can slow the car down when approaching potentially dangerous curves, park the car, and change lanes. U.S. regulators are expected to release guidelines later this summer for driverless cars, The Wall Street Journal reports. Catherine Garcia
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is instructing owners of 313,000 older Hondas and Acuras to stop what they're doing and replace the Takata airbag inflators inside their cars.
"These vehicles are unsafe and need to be repaired immediately," Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said in a statement on Thursday. "Folks should not drive these vehicles unless they are going straight to a dealer to have them repaired." The advisory is for 2001 and 2002 Honda Civics and Accords, 2002 and 2003 Acura TL, 2002 Honda Odyssey and CR-V, and 2003 Acura CL and Honda Pilot. The older the vehicle, the more time the inflator has spent in heat and humidity, and that makes them more likely to malfunction, The Associated Press reports.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has conducted tests on inflators taken from older Hondas owned by people living near the Gulf Coast, and about half of them blew apart. If an inflator explodes, it spews metal fragments into the vehicle, potentially killing or injuring the driver and any passengers. To see if your car is part of the recall, visit safercar.gov and enter your vehicle identification number. Catherine Garcia
On Thursday, Judge Martin Welch vacated the murder conviction of Adnan Syed, the Baltimore man at the center of the first season of the wildly popular true-crime podcast Serial, and granted him a new trial. Syed's attorneys tweeted Thursday that Syed had won a new trial after a Baltimore judge ruled that his original attorney failed to properly cross-examine incriminating cell-tower evidence.
Syed's current defense team successfully re-opened post conviction hearings this past February and in March filed a post-hearing motion to add new evidence to the record, partially due to the popularity of and unearthed information from Serial. Syed is currently serving a life sentence plus 30 years after being convicted in 2000 of murdering his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee while they were both seniors at Woodlawn High School in Baltimore.

Speaking 2,656 miles from the Mexican border in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Thursday, Donald Trump interrupted his latest policy speech to point out a random passing airplane, warning that it could be "a Mexican plane up there, they're getting ready to attack."

NOVOSIBIRSK, Russian Federation, Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Internet filtering is on the minds of many administrators and is mandated by law in many countries. Effective protection from inappropriate content is critical at schools, government agencies, and companies; it is also a key option that Internet providers must offer their users.
UserGate Web Filter is a gateway solution for controlling Internet use on all devices on a local or provider network, regardless of device type or operating system, and configuring web access. By deploying the product, administrators make Internet access safe and minimize non-productive web surfing. The software combines five filtering mechanisms in a single package: category-based blocking, morphological analysis, safe search, white lists and black lists, and blocking of banners and pop-ups.
UserGate Web Filter is the successor to GateWall DNS Filter, which was released in 2010. The new product supplements filtering of DNS requests with content analysis and a number of other features, including filtering of direct IP address requests. UserGate Web Filter supports Linux and can be installed on physical and virtual machines; it can be deployed as a high-performance cluster solution for filtering dozens or even hundreds of thousands of users.
A database of over 500 million URLs is used by UserGate Web Filter, allowing administrators to allow or block access to entire URL categories. In addition, morphological analysis analyzes web pages for key words, phrases, or regular expressions. This approach allows selectively blocking site sections, instead of blocking at the domain level. This capability is extremely useful on social networks and other portals with large amounts of user-generated content (Web 2.0).
The safe search feature forces use of "safe search" mode on popular search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing) and on YouTube. Results for video and image searches are filtered with an exceptional degree of accuracy. UserGate Web Filter can also block advertising banners, which often contain objectionable words and images.
UserGate Web Filter supports white lists and black lists of URLs. These lists take precedence over other product settings for fine-grained control.
UserGate Web Filter is available in three forms:
- UserGate Web Filter as a stand-alone program for servers (the current version is for Linux, with a Windows version in development)
- UserGate Web Filter Appliance, a hardware device with included filtering software
- UserGate Web Filter Virtual Appliance image, for deploying the product on a virtual machine
"UserGate Web Filter has been created in response to the real-world needs and wants of major ISPs and schools. That is why we are so sure of its widespread adoption," predicted Dmitry Kurashev, Entensys CEO. "Our software offers a number of new technologies that make filtering exceptionally precise and complete, while maintaining high performance and scalability."
