Europe/Near East
Germany (Bavaria): Avian influenza H5N1 outbreak in large poultry farm
More than 165 000 fattening ducks had been culled on a large farm in Bavaria after highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 was detected on the farm 25 Aug 2007. Epidemiological inquiries, paralleling the culling actions on the farm during the weekend, initiated extensive trace-back investigations. In particular, the hatchery supplying the day-old ducklings, and all farms which had received deliveries from this hatchery, were tested virologically by regional state laboratories. However, no evidence of further infections at other farms connected through trading or located in the restriction zone has been found. Thus, the outbreak appears to be an isolated case.
Full length HA and partial (538 nts) NA sequences have now been established from RNA isolated from the diseased duckling originating from the outbreak holding in Bavaria. The HA sequence fits into the group of sequences of recent EMA-3 like H5N1 variants detected in wild birds in Germany and France and in poultry in the Czech Republic in June/July 2007 (identity 99.1-99.5 percent at the nucleotide level). The sequence is clearly distinct from EMA-1- and -2-like isolates present in Bavaria in 2006 in wild birds. Thus, the outbreak appears to be epidemiologically linked to the presence of EMA-3-like H5N1 viruses detected in central Europe earlier this year [2007].
The farm itself is situated in a so-called HPAIV risk area. Such risk areas have been defined by the federal states of Germany in regions with a potentially high risk of transfer of HPAIV H5N1 from wild aquatic birds. In such areas all poultry has to be kept indoors. HPAIV H5N1 had been detected 6 weeks ago, in a number of wild birds (mute swans, grebes) in several locations in Southeastern Germany. The repeated outbreaks in poultry in central Europe (Hungary/Czech Republic/Bavaria), completely independent in space and time from any wild bird movements, indicates that the virus is continuing to circulate inside the local poultry industry.
Viet Nam: Avian influenza H5N1 strikes more poultry
Animal-health officials recently confirmed H5N1 outbreaks at poultry farms in Dong Thap province in the south and Thai Nguyen province in the north, it was reported Aug 25. In addition, officials announced the virus had spread to Tra Vinh province in the Mekong delta. The outbreak in Thai Nguyen affected ducks and young chickens, while the Dong Thap outbreak struck 250 chicks. In Tra Vinh the outbreak involved unvaccinated ducklings. In mid August the country reported an H5N1 outbreak in Cao Bang, a northern province. Vietnam has reported 7 human H5N1 cases this year, which include 4 deaths.

Australia (Queensland): Hendra Virus Infects Veterinarian
Hong Kong: 2 cases of Leptospirosis
Leptospirosis is a zoonosis caused by a spirochete that is transmitted to humans by direct contact of abraded skin or mucous membranes with urine or tissues of an infected animal or, more commonly, by indirect contact with mud or water contaminated by urine of infected animals. Person-to-person spread is not known to occur. The disease is maintained in nature by carrier animals. Leptospirosis may occur sporadically or as large outbreaks, for example, during periods of flooding. The incubation period is about one to 2 weeks after exposure. The initial symptoms are abrupt onset of chills, fever, myalgias, cough, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headache. A second phase of the disease may occur. More than 90 percent of patients have a self-limited illness, but some develop a more severe illness that may be fatal. Early treatment can reduce duration and severity of symptoms. Leptospirosis is usually treated with penicillin or ceftriaxone intravenously for severe disease and doxycycline or amoxicillin for milder disease. Prevention involves wearing waterproof boots when walking on damp soil or water in endemic areas and wearing protective equipment when in contact with contaminated water or mud or infected animals.

USA: HHS allots $75 million to states for pandemic planning
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced an allocation of $75 million in grants to help states, territories, and 4 metropolitan areas prepare for an influenza pandemic. HHS said the money is to be used to establish or expand stockpiles of critical medical equipment and supplies; continue developing plans for maintaining, distributing, and sharing those resources; plan for and develop alternative sites for providing healthcare in a pandemic; and conduct medical surge exercises. The funding will supplement the $430 million allocation HHS announced Jun 28 to help hospitals and other healthcare facilities prepare to respond to bioterrorism attacks, infectious disease outbreaks, and natural disasters that could cause mass casualties. The grants for states range from $352,673 for Wyoming to $5.48 million for California. The metropolitan areas with separate grants include Washington, DC, $364,024; Chicago, $836,685; New York City, $1.9 million; and Los Angeles County, $2.27 million.

USA (Multi-state): Link between dog food, Salmonella cases looks stronger
"Households with ill persons were significantly more likely than matched households without ill persons to usually purchase a brand of dry pet food made by Mars Petcare US that may have been produced at a single facility in Pennsylvania," CDC said. In addition, the Pennsylvania Department of Health found the outbreak strain in an environmental sample from the Mars Petcare facility in Pennsylvania. 25 of the 66 salmonellosis cases reported so far occurred in Pennsylvania, with 12 in New York, 6 in Ohio, 5 in Massachusetts, and 1 or 2 in each of the other states affected. Of the patients for whom information was available, 39% were 1 year old or younger and 32% experienced bloody diarrhea. 10 patients were hospitalized, but none died. The agency said investigators are still trying to find out why human cases have been associated with dry pet food. Factors being considered include handling and storage of dry pet food, handwashing practices, exposure of children to dry pet food, and the location where pets are fed.
Salmonella often causes fever, diarrhea (potentially bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain in humans and can be serious or fatal in children, the elderly, and those with weakened immunity. In rare cases the pathogen can enter the bloodstream and cause severe disorders, FDA said. Pet owners should wash their hands before and after handling pet food, feed pets somewhere other than the kitchen, wash pet food dishes after each use (preferably not in the kitchen), and dispose of pet food safely.

USA (California): Concern of Coccidiodomycosis in San Joaquin Valley
As a result, health professionals and researchers submitted a report urging the state not to add prison beds "in the hyper-endemic area," where Valley fever spores are prevalent. They also suggested that the state evaluate exposure to the disease and "consider relocating all inmates". The recommendations were generated by a working group and corrections officials said they are preparing a response to the report that will include mitigation measures "in terms of construction and in terms of health care". Inmates last year made up two-thirds of all the Valley fever cases in Fresno and Kings counties. Reported instances of Valley fever among inmates in the southern San Joaquin Valley increased more than 6-fold from 2001 to 2006, to 672 cases last year [2006]. Valley fever is caused by a fungus, Coccidioides immitis, found in soils primarily in southwestern states in the USA.

Seasonal Influenza
In equatorial regions (where influenza is less seasonal), the experience was also unexceptional. In China, the Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia, the predominant strain this season [2007] has been A (H3N2), with A(H1N1) and B also present. According to the WHO's summary of seasonal influenza activity in the world, last updated in March 2007, Hong Kong saw a high level of A(H3N2) activity in weeks 8-11. In contrast to Australia, New Zealand has been having a relatively mild influenza season in 2007 so far, with a mix of A(H1N1), A(H3N2) and some B viruses circulating.
In summary, therefore, apart from the unusual cases in children in Australia, the 2007 influenza season in the southern hemisphere has not been exceptional, either in the number of cases being reported or the strains circulating. Those strains that have been seen were also seen in the northern hemisphere in its last season [2006], and most of them are included in the current vaccine for the southern hemisphere this season. As was seen in the northern hemisphere's 2006/07 season, A(H3N2) strains in the southern hemisphere have not reacted well to antiserum A/Wisconsin/67/2005.

Emerging Streptococcus suis threat mainly related to occupational exposure
A 2005 outbreak in China led to more than 200 human cases with about 20 percent mortality. In that outbreak, Dr. Smith noted, the presentation was unusual, with many cases of toxic shock syndrome. She added that there is an ongoing outbreak in Viet Nam, with 45 cases and at least 2 deaths at latest count. The study by Dr. Smith and colleagues at the University of Iowa's Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases looked at the seroprevalence of S. suis antibodies in 73 workers who were regularly exposed to swine (farmers, veterinarians, and meat packers) versus a control group of 67 staff and students at the university. The researchers found that the exposed individuals had higher overall levels of antibodies to serotype 2 (one of 2 serotypes most likely to cause human disease) and consistently higher titers, with the highest antibody levels found in those with the highest or longest exposures. The researchers concluded that S. suis likely infects humans more frequently than currently recognized, particularly among those who are regularly in close contact with swine.
Trial results for Glaxo's H5N1 vaccine released
GSK's 2006 report raised hopes that adjuvants could substantially boost the supply of prepandemic H5N1 vaccines by reducing the amount of antigen (active ingredient) needed in each dose. Several vaccine trials have shown that the hemagglutinin, or H, component of the H5N1 virus triggers a weak immune response in humans, so vaccines must contain relatively large amounts of it. The first H5N1 vaccine licensed in the US, made by Sanofi Pasteur, required two 90-mcg doses to induce a good immune response in about half of volunteers. With an adjuvant, the vaccine was shown to induce a good immune response in about two thirds of volunteers who received two 30-mcg doses.
The vaccine used in the study was a split-virus formulation derived from a clade 1 H5N1 strain isolated from a Vietnamese patient in 2004. The trial was conducted in Belgium, and involved 400 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 60. The volunteers were randomly assigned to receive one of eight vaccine formulations—3.8, 7.5, 15, or 30 mcg, with or without adjuvant. Each person received 2 doses, 21 days apart. The researchers assessed humoral immunity by measuring hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) antibody titers and also testing for the presence of antibodies that could actually neutralize the H5N1 virus in the lab.
All 8 vaccine formulations were well-tolerated, and no serious adverse events were reported. The adjuvanted preparations induced significantly stronger immune responses than the nonadjuvanted preparations at all doses. The 3.8-mcg dose with the adjuvant yielded HI antibody titers of 1:40 or higher in 84% of volunteers and fourfold increases in neutralization titers in 86%. Without adjuvant, 3.8 mcg of vaccine induced similar results in only 16% and 37% of vaccinees. Even at the highest dose, 30 mcg, vaccine without adjuvant triggered similar HI titers and increases in neutralization titers in only 43% and 65% of vaccinees, respectively.
To test the vaccine's ability to induce cross-protection against different H5N1 strains, the investigators assessed the generation of antibodies to an H5N1 virus derived from one isolated from an Indonesian patient in 2005 (a clade 2 virus). They found that after 2 doses, between 20% and 32% of vaccinees in the adjuvant groups generated protective HI titers, versus none of those in the nonadjuvanted groups. The neutralization assay showed a much stronger response, with 67% to 77% of those in the adjuvant groups showing a protective response, compared with less than 9% in the other groups. Mean titers of neutralizing antibodies were 5 to 6 times higher in the adjuvant groups than in the nonadjuvant groups. The researchers write that the cross-clade neutralizing antibody responses imply that the vaccine could be used before the emergence of a pandemic caused by an H5N1 strain.

New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham pulled a Switzerland and remained neutral Thursday afternoon when asked if he considers himself a tight end or wide receiver.
"That's not for me to decide," Graham said at an adidias charity event with New Orleans Pelicans guard Eric Gordon in the French Quarter. "I'm going to do, and I'm going to play, whatever I'm asked to do. It's that simple."
The debate is a primary negotiating point for Graham and the Saints this offseason when it comes to hammering out a long-term contract and even a probable franchise tag designation for the top free agent in the NFL.
When asked where he currently stands on his contract talks with the Saints, Graham said, "For me, I'm just standing. I take everyday one day at a time. I'm just going to wait and see what happens because that's where it's at."
Graham added he's unsure how long it will take for his contract stalemate to come to a resolution, but he's not anxious "at all" going into an offseason of uncertainty.
"I'll be ready like I always will be," Graham said.
NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune reported in October that the Saints had offered Graham a contract extension more than once during his tenure in New Orleans, with one occurring in Aug. 2013.
Graham said he'll continue to train with now former Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma at the University of Miami during the offseason, and he'll train like he would every offseason no matter how long his contract drama plays out.
The Saints released the news they would not re-sign Vilma on Wednesday, along with the releases of linebacker Will Smith, safety Roman Harper and cornerback Jabari Greer. The move saved the Saints around $17 million in salary cap space to jam New Orleans around $3 million or $4 million under the cap.
"First off, you can't ask for four better teammates and people," Graham said about the mass cuts Wednesday. "They've done so much for this community and for me personally. Vilma being my workout partner year-round, that's 365 days a year that I see him and work with him. For me personally, it's very difficult because of the type of people all four of them are. ... It's a tough situation."
Of course, the Saints will need to make more room under the cap to sign Graham to any deal this offseason. If there's no long-term deal reached by March 3, the Saints will be forced to place the franchise tag on Graham.
General manager Mickey Loomis has been adamant that the Saints will tag Graham as a tight end if necessary, which would be a one-year, $6.8 million deal. Graham's camp will more than likely seek top-flight wide receiver money, and at the worst a wide receiver tag designation, which would be a one-year, $11.6 million deal.
The period to place the franchise tag on a player begins Feb. 17 and ends March 3.
Graham said he talked to Drew Brees last week in New York City at "The Jimmy Fallon Show" leading up to Super Bowl XLVIII about contract advice. Brees received the franchise tag leading up to the 2012 season and didn't hammer out a deal with the Saints until mid-July.
Graham said Brees informed him about how Brees leaped onto a table during an appearance on "The Dan Patrick Show" during the week leading up to the Super Bowl to show how much Brees wants Graham back.
Graham said what Brees did on the table was "awesome."

|Cougars down Panthers to snap four-game slide
An explosive start to Rancho Cotate's April 11 home game against Santa Rosa paved the way to a 7-4 North Bay League victory and also snapped a four-game losing streak by the Cougars.
Alex Latourelle, Casey Gray, Brian Wall and Gunner Mefferd all had key hits in a four-run second inning as Rancho Cotate extended its lead to 6-0.
The Cougars got a solid pitching effort from starter Nate Crouse, who allowed six hits. Gray was 2 for 3 at the plate with one RBI and he scored twice.
Casa Grande 6
Rancho Cotate 0
Steve Endy provided what little offense the Cougars could produce with the team's only two hits of the game.
The loss dropped the Cougars to 3-13 overall and 2-4 in the NBL.
Rancho Cotate travels to Ukiah to face the Wildcats today for a 4 p.m. game.

Thank you for posting this. I suspect it will be referred to a lot as the actual effects of the legislation continue to crystallize.
One thing of note, there had been some chatter that some duty type semi automatic handguns would be banned as assault weapons. That appears NOT to be case.
January 16, 2013, 06:00 PM
What is sad is that we have traitors in the mist. Not many anti gunners and certainly not the media could come up with a comprehensive.list.
January 16, 2013, 06:06 PM
So if a new company is started under a new name, those AR types under a new name would be OK?
January 16, 2013, 06:07 PM
Thank you for posting this. My plan was to buy a new CZ 712 utility and it looks like a still can. Any idea of I can still buy a mag ext for it?
January 16, 2013, 06:09 PM
Noticed Plainfield Machine .30Cal Carbines.......not listed here.
January 16, 2013, 06:11 PM
didn't see any kel-tec or hi-point sub rifles on that list, think they overlooked them?
January 16, 2013, 06:15 PM
Even if your gun is not on the list what do you do next year if nobody makes a 7rnd mag for it since you can't posess higer capacity mags??
January 16, 2013, 06:16 PM
I don't know...this is the list of 'assault weapons'.
It really doesn't address the magazine issue, regarding handguns NOT classified as assault weapons.
Still blurry for me.
Also high-capacity revolvers are not mentioned. Could be a sticking point.
Waiting to see.
January 16, 2013, 06:16 PM
Benelli M-2 Tactical? Craziness.
January 16, 2013, 06:19 PM
So Remington 1100 is on that list. Glad I'm not in that mess, I'm mad for you guys. This is outrageous.
January 16, 2013, 06:22 PM
So if a new company is started under a new name, those AR types under a new name would be OK?
Unfortunatly, no.
"This list is intended only as a guide and is not meant to be an exclusive, exhaustive list as there may be additional weapons that will also meet the amended definition under the new law."
Leaves it kinda open ended.
January 16, 2013, 06:30 PM
Interesting...the Remington 1100 is only listed as the "Tactical" version. M1 Carbines not on the list...
What would irritate me most is that because it includes 22LR, my S&W MP 15-22 would be banned....and its my favorite gun to shoot.
January 16, 2013, 06:35 PM
Even the California ban has an exclusion for .22's ... for now.
January 16, 2013, 06:37 PM
they make five round mags for the M1 Carbine. Might be why it's not on the list, or it's age and C&R status. Let's not give them any ideas.
January 16, 2013, 06:39 PM
I dont see robinson armament on there,only under the ak part, probably for the vepr, is the m96 & xcr exempt? also, it lists the sig 550 &551, not the 556 . is the 556 scm exempt too?
January 16, 2013, 06:50 PM
I believe thats only ment as examples, not a list. The legal determining factor is still prohibited features just more than 1 instead of 2 now.
January 16, 2013, 06:55 PM
No vz.58 on the list? (troll face)
January 16, 2013, 07:03 PM
This is not an exhaustive list, so don't assume that if it isn't on this list it isn't covered. The law is so poorly drafted and so vague it could include a great many firearms nobody expected it to.
January 16, 2013, 07:03 PM
Clicking on the actual laws written by the top of the page is just unbelievable,the jargan used, the wording used, theres professors at M.I.T. that wont be able to understand it,there is a section on page 48 that says 200.00 fine if cought in your home with a magazine that has more than 7 rounds.If cought outside the home, its 200.00 fine & up to six months in jail. that is so insane i cant believe what i am reading.
January 16, 2013, 07:46 PM
No mention of the SKS:)
January 16, 2013, 08:04 PM
I hope the SKS falls outside of the list. But...to quote..
This list is intended only as a guide and is not meant to be an exclusive, exhaustive list as there may be additional weapons that will also meet the amended definition under the new law.
January 16, 2013, 08:14 PM
That list looks like it was compiled by a high school student over a weekend. Seriously.
for AR-15... is "Palmetto" the same as "Palmetto State Armory"??? Seems like they would have used LEGAL names instead of nicknames for companies. Further... where does a homebuilt gun fit in here? I built three AK47 rifles from kits/blanks. They are, of course, NOT on this list. One could also build an AR15 from 80% and it does not show up on the list. It is CLEAR that NY rushed this... to the point that someone might successfully challenge in court.
Edit: Nevermind, I guess this covers it
This list is intended only as a guide and is not meant to be an exclusive, exhaustive list as there may be additional weapons that will also meet the amended definition under the new law.
January 16, 2013, 08:14 PM
Beretta Storm carbines are missing
January 16, 2013, 08:14 PM
I'm not even from NY and I'm sick.
January 16, 2013, 08:28 PM
This is outragous, & even police are affected. This is going way too far !
January 16, 2013, 08:28 PM
You New Yorkers are so screwed. Sad day. Let's hope the rest of the Socialist states don't follow.
January 16, 2013, 08:29 PM
The big one, notice Ruger is not anywhere on the list.
January 16, 2013, 08:37 PM
I don't see the Mini 14. The SKS would be similar unless it has more than one military characteristics. Didn't see any 22's, but will have to wait until things get fleshed out a bit. I don't believe the law exempts 22LR caliber rifles.
Ruger is listed as Strum Ruger.
Ohio Gun Guy
January 16, 2013, 08:46 PM
I'm In Ohio but it doesnt matter, this can't stand! :fire: Just read the list and the line about registering them within a year.
It's been feared, but it's surreal to read it. This is a tipping point IMO. We / all of us have to get this defeated! This is a foot in the water toward national registration and eventually confiscation!
January 16, 2013, 08:52 PM
"New York,New York, a hell of a town, i just got arrested for 1 extra round,Cuomo should go back to that hole in the ground; New York New Yooork, its a hell of a towwwwnnn" :barf:......
January 16, 2013, 09:21 PM
So, I don't see MG-34, MG-42, PKM, RPD, VZ-39, Browning 1919, or DShK on the list.
January 16, 2013, 09:24 PM
Oooh M2HB heavy machineguns (converted to semi), are still legal too.
Just feed them 7 rounds at a time.
They don't qualify because they don't take magazines.
January 16, 2013, 09:28 PM
You missed the catch all phrase. If it isn't on the list te state police will consider it banned anyway. This effectively took the power out of the hands of te extremely liberal legislature and gave it all to the executive branch of state to government. Whatever king cuomo's appointed superintendent of state police decides is banned is banned.
I wish the semi belt Feds were still legal.
January 16, 2013, 09:30 PM
January 16, 2013, 10:43 PM
Saiga wasn't listed in the Ak's. Are they already banned there?
January 16, 2013, 10:52 PM
What if you build your own ARs? Then they will not be manufactured by the company on the ban list.
January 16, 2013, 11:03 PM
I'm curious, where are they going to put all you people if not a single person acknowledges the unconstitutional laws? From what I keep hearing, there's arms and legs sticking out between the bars in every prison due to overcrowding.
January 16, 2013, 11:03 PM
Saiga wasn't listed in the Ak's. Are they already banned there?Saigas are covered in the reference to "Izhevsk Factory - Russia."

I'm still wondering how my State Police are going to process the registration of over a million semi-automatic rifles in the next 364 days. They don't even have the resources to patrol the parkways properly.
January 17, 2013, 12:04 AM
Sometimes you get the government you deserve. Sorry honest sportsmen and gun enthusiasts. You live in a a corruptocracy where lying lawyers rule. (excuse my redundancy) When the people vote for bread and circuses its time to leave. Cuomo is a chip off the old block (Mario). A complete hypocrite. Note his "southern preacher" style of oratory designed to stir the emotions of the sycophants and fools. Remember this is the same POS that bullied S&W under the Clinton Administration. N.Y. State is doomed as long as people like him are elected to public office.
January 17, 2013, 12:38 AM
Aside from the obvious fact that it's a terrible law, it also doesn't look to be a very good law. By that, I mean that there are typos and unanswered questions and holes that amaze me, and I'm no lawyer. I don't know that I'd recommend reading the complete text (that's about 45 min of my life that I'll never get back) but if you did, I doubt you'd be impressed by how it's put together. What a slapped-together rush job.
This is, of course, totally aside from the fact that the premise sucked to begin with.
January 17, 2013, 01:10 AM
Looks like the civil war will be starting right in NY. I think we should all stand shoulder to shoulder and say , HELL NO, COME AND GET THEM! Individually we are nothing.. but together, we are The People. This government derives any power it has from us, and it exists solely because we allow it to be. Our founding fathers saw this, and made sure we could not have our teeth pulled for this very reason. If we allow them to disarm us, they will next take away our freedom of speech, our freedom of religion, and soon we will be vassals living in fear of a tyrannical state. We cannot let this happen.
January 17, 2013, 01:23 AM
The law is bad, and very harrassing to lawful owners.
But not quite as draconian as first made out, although all ARs, AKs, other types are really gone. I don't see any loopholes.
Seems that all of the 10 rd. mags existing in NY are ok. Just load 7.
They aren't on the list, but M1 Carbines, M1 Garands, and probably many others MAY BE included in the AW definition. Sec. 37:
BUT Garands and Carbines may be exemped by the 50 year language. Not clear to me. Certainly a carbine magazine over 10 rds. is not.
Also, if this 50 year business does not clear Garands and Carbines, it's possible that removing the bayonet mount from the Garand or Carbine would then be legal.
In either case, no more than a 10 rd. magazine and then only load with 7 rds.
Also not clear yet if the Garand clip is considered a 'magazine'. It looks like it is exempted in Sec. 38, but IANAL so don't count on it. However, it should be ok anyway since it's capacity is less than 10, if you only load 7 in it .
A Mini-14 standard version with a 10 rd. or lower magazine should be ok. Only load 7.
A Springfield M1A without bayonet lug or flash hider should also be ok with a 7 rd. mag.
The NY law does not count the heat shroud on rifles as a disqualifying feature.
Several posts also worried that .22 pistols, High Standard, Colt, Ruger, S&W would be unusable because no 7-rd mags exist, or are likely to.
As I read the law, these guns and their 10 rd. mags are OK, just don't load more than 7. It WILL be illegal to buy new 10 rd. mags for them, and for the 10/22. But the exsisting 10 rd. mags are ok. Any new mags will have to be 7 or fewer.
Anyhow, that's what I see. Lot's of harrassment to no purpose, getting rid of cosmetic features, accomplishing almost nothing new of any value.
The only way to make any to change any of this is to cause politicians to lose their jobs. That happened in 1994 and it kept this sort of harrassment away for 20 years. It is the only thing that works, the only thing these politicians really give a damn about.
January 17, 2013, 01:24 AM
Careful, Mike.
The Civil War cost over 600 thousand lives (estimated), and they didn't have the weapons we have today. A modern civil war in a country with this level of technology? Easily tens of millions of casualties.
We aren't there, yet, man. Even if I agree with your sentiment.
January 17, 2013, 01:35 AM
I don't see how the Garand could be effected. The only evil feature being the bayo lug and the digital gymnastics required to load only 7 in a clip. (Maybe load 7 live rounds and a snap cap on top. Snap/rack, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang/PING. Rinse and repeat.
Or.... even better load a blank. I think that would cycle the action.
Best of luck to my brothers in NYS. This Southern boy has spent a lot of time flying around upstate and it's a beautiful place filled with friendly people. You deserve better.
Anyone know what a muzzle break is? I thought it was a muzzle brake. The devil is in the details.
January 17, 2013, 06:01 AM
I have a serious question. Does anyone know when, if, the last time someone was murdered with an affixed bayonet? And I mean outside of an actual war.
January 17, 2013, 06:08 AM
At the Top Of That Page, it clearly states that the list is not complete, and that there are other firearms that may meet the definitions. So if its not listed, don't assume that it is "safe" - in NY:
..... This list is intended only as a guide and is not meant to be an exclusive, exhaustive list as there may be additional weapons that will also meet the amended definition under the new law......

January 17, 2013, 07:17 AM
i wouldnt talk to much about whats not on the list. the anti s are looking at
gun forums to.
January 17, 2013, 07:22 AM
January 17, 2013, 07:29 AM
My question is what is Remington going to do?
They employ 1000 folks in Illion, NY and have made noises about moving out if bans start kicking in.
A number of states have offered them some great incentives to move..
But now Cuomo hasn't a tinkers chance of getting elected POTUS.
January 17, 2013, 07:39 AM
Really, I believe Remington has a great case for a lawsuit. Their business (I assume billions) has been greatly damaged by an unconstitutional bill passed in NY. Why can they not sue the state?
January 17, 2013, 08:16 AM
I feel for you guys in NY; I truly do. I have never been so disgusted with a group of politicians in my entire 66 year life. I realize it's easy to say move out of the state and not so easy to do it, but to me it seems more and more like a state creating freedom loving refugees.
January 17, 2013, 08:42 AM
Wow, there's a lot of bad information in this thread. Let me see if I can clear this up a little.
First, don't bother with the list in the link above, or the links that site contains. If you really want to know what the law says, here's a link to the actual language.
Of note is the fact that all "Assault Weapons" must be registered within one year, and may not be transferred to another person residing in New York State, and that "High Capacity Ammunition Feeding Devices" may not be possessed, and may not be transferred to another person residing in New York State. Here's the definitions for those terms. Note that I <snipped> and {paraphrased} some of the extraneous information to make it somewhat easier to read. Also note that there's a list of exceptions at the end of each quote.
By New York State definition, "Assault Weapon" means:
A FOLDING OR TELESCOPING STOCK; A PISTOL GRIP <snip>; A THUMBHOLE STOCK; A SECOND HANDGRIP <snip>; A BAYONET MOUNT; A FLASH SUPPRESSOR, MUZZLE BREAK, MUZZLE COMPENSATOR, OR THREADED BARREL <snip>; A GRENADE LAUNCHER
A FOLDING OR TELESCOPING STOCK; A THUMBHOLE STOCK; A SECOND HANDGRIP OR A PROTRUDING GRIP THAT CAN BE HELD BY THE NON-TRIGGER HAND;<snip>; A FIXED MAGAZINE CAPACITY IN EXCESS OF SEVEN ROUNDS; AN ABILITY TO ACCEPT A DETACHABLE MAGAZINE
A FOLDING OR TELESCOPING STOCK; A THUMBHOLE STOCK; A SECOND HANDGRIP <snip>; CAPACITY TO ACCEPT AN AMMUNITION MAGAZINE THAT ATTACHES TO THE PISTOL OUTSIDE OF THE PISTOL GRIP; A THREADED BARREL <snip>; A SHROUD THAT IS ATTACHED TO, OR PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY ENCIRCLES, THE BARREL <snip>; A MANUFACTURED WEIGHT OF FIFTY OUNCES OR MORE WHEN THE PISTOL IS UNLOADED
A SEMIAUTOMATIC RIFLE, A SEMIAUTOMATIC SHOTGUN OR A SEMIAUTOMATIC PISTOL OR WEAPON DEFINED {in the 1994 AWB}
MANUALLY OPERATED BY BOLT, PUMP, LEVER OR SLIDE ACTION; OR HAS BEEN RENDERED PERMANENTLY INOPERABLE; OR IS AN ANTIQUE FIREARM <snip>; A SEMIAUTOMATIC RIFLE THAT CANNOT ACCEPT A DETACHABLE MAGAZINE THAT HOLDS MORE THAN FIVE ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION; A SEMIAUTOMATIC SHOTGUN THAT CANNOT HOLD MORE THAN FIVE ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION IN A FIXED OR DETACHABLE MAGAZINE; OR A RIFLE, SHOTGUN OR PISTOL, OR A REPLICA OR A DUPLICATE THEREOF, SPECIFIED IN APPENDIX A TO 18 U.S.C. 922; OR ANY FIREARM, RIFLE, OR SHOTGUN THAT WAS MANUFACTURED AT LEAST FIFTY YEARS PRIOR TO THE CURRENT DATE
And, also by New York State definition, "Large capacity ammunition feeding device" means:
a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device, that has a capacity <snip> to accept, more than ten rounds of ammunition, OR CONTAINS MORE THAN SEVEN ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION, OR IS OBTAINED AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF {this law} AND HAS A CAPACITY OF, <snip> MORE THAN SEVEN ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION
[The above] does not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition OR A FEEDING DEVICE THAT IS A CURIO OR RELIC.
So, here are some quick observations ...
I think, if I put the wooden stock back on my Mini-14, instead of the folding stock, it would be legal, as would my Ruger factory 5-round magazine. But, my Remington R-15 VTR would be banned, even though it also came with a 5-round magazine from the factory, simply because there is no option to change out its pistol grip.
There are absolutely no references to revolvers, except shotguns with revolving cylinders.
There is a specific exemption for tube fed .22's, but no such exemption for other .22's. So, my Winchester 190 is OK, but the 10-22 may not be, depending on how it qualifies under the "one-feature" rule (target stock with a thumbhole grip? nope... banned).
Another interesting bit... the Desert Eagle is banned, due solely to it's weight (over 50 ounces is banned; the DE weighs about 70 oz.).
And, of particular interest... There is no differentiation between magazines for rifles and pistols. So, while most .45's will be OK due to their 7-round capacity, the vast majority of 9mm pistols are now effectively banned, because there are - to my knowledge - no 7-round magazines for most 9mm pistols. Likewise, many .22 pistols are effectively banned for the same reason.
Yeah... all this passed each house in less than a day (introduced on the 14th, signed into law on the 15th), with no public input, and no debate. Heck, I doubt anybody even had time to read it.
So, I wonder... can somebody that gets arrested for violation of this law claim that their rights have been violated because there was no due process granted when the law was passed?
I must say, I feel bad for the people of NYS. Surely there is a legal challenge in the works, right?
January 17, 2013, 09:06 AM
Now does this also mean that once all gun stores in new york sell their guns, they cant restock with new ones because they would come with a 10 round mag which cannot enter new york ? Also why is weight in a pistol an issue? its much harder to conceil a desert eagle, its like a brick ? Its the most mindless,senseless rushed lawmaking in the history of this country....
January 17, 2013, 09:14 AM
And, of particular interest... There is no differentiation between magazines for rifles and pistols. So, while most .45's will be OK due to their 7-round capacity, the vast majority of 9mm pistols are now effectively banned, because there are - to my knowledge - no 7-round magazines for most 9mm pistols. Likewise, many .22 pistols are effectively banned for the same reason.
This is only true for NEW guns, those sold after the bill was signed. Existing 10 rd. mags are OK, just don't load more than 7. And, for example, the 9mm Browning HPs that have 10 rd. mags. in NY are OK, same thing just load 7. At least that's how I read it.
But, if Ruger wants to sell new 10/22s or MkIIIs in NY, or if Browning wants to sell new HPs, they will now have to ship them with 7-rd. mags.
January 17, 2013, 09:26 AM
When does the law take effect? :banghead:
January 17, 2013, 09:29 AM
(But, if Ruger wants to sell new 10/22s or MkIIIs in NY, or if Browning wants to sell new HPs, they will now have to ship them with 7-rd. mags) So every gun store in new york will not be able to restock,putting them all out of buisness or filing for bankrupcy. nice economic move,too.:cuss::banghead::fire:
January 17, 2013, 09:31 AM
NY Residents have one year to comply.
January 17, 2013, 10:26 AM
When does the law take effect? :banghead:The bill was introduced on Monday the 14th, and it was signed and took effect the next day, Tuesday the 15th. There is a provision that provides a registration period of one year. At which time New Yorkers will either be neutered by low capacity magazines, disarmed completely, or felons. Hey, at least they have choices, right?
David E
January 17, 2013, 10:39 AM
I'm glad cops agree affected. Points out how stupid and ill advised this is.
But why do I think the armed bodyguards of Cuomo and Doomberg are all still carrying high capacity magazines?
January 17, 2013, 10:44 AM
Some weapons are so dangerous and some ammunition devices are so lethal that we simply can not afford to keep selling them in our state.
January 17, 2013, 10:44 AM
Wonder how many people will refuse to register their guns?
January 17, 2013, 10:48 AM
Time to get this to the Supreme court before the big O can pad the court.
January 17, 2013, 10:52 AM
Do I have to get rid of my 8 round magazines within one year?
Can I fully load up my 8 round magazines until then?
January 17, 2013, 10:54 AM
Do I have to get rid of my 8 round magazines within one year?
Can I fully load up my 8 round magazines until then?
If you live in new york yes they have to be gone or destroyed within a year.
No you can only load 7rnds no matter the capacity of the magazine. I believe its a misdemeanor and automatic confiscation of the mag if its loaded to 8.
January 17, 2013, 11:30 AM
As a NY resident, and something of an 'outsider', this whole thing saddens me deeply but does not surprise me.
I am from England, but I came to live in the States three years ago to be with my wife.
I have not yet been here long enough to apply for citizenship, so I can't yet vote.
It seems that this is no handicap however, since nobody got to vote on this issue.
What a filthy underhand way to make laws!
From what little I've seen, this is the way politicians are in NY. They appear to think that they are superior to the people they represent, and behave like rulers rather than public servants (I'm looking at you too Bloomberg).
Guys, I was there in Britain when they banned semiauto rifles, and I was there when they banned handguns.
We can't let the same thing happen here.
All I can do for now is be an NRA member, but by the time the next election comes around, I'll be able to vote...
In the meantime, I guess I'll have to sell or destroy my standard capacity magazines within a year :(
January 17, 2013, 11:47 AM
Guess I also wonder how many will refuse to give up their 7+ round magazines.
I would either refuse to give them up, or be out of the state....no way I would stand for that crap.
January 17, 2013, 12:12 PM
Just came from a gun store on long island,& they now have to write down all info on ammo sales, with drivers license,& gun stores in new york cannot order any more guns that hold more than 7 rounds.Once their inventory is gone. they are so screwed right now, no one has any idea.Even the state police dont know whats really going on & what to enforce yet.Go to a gun store in new york, the phones are ringing off the hook,its insane here.....
January 17, 2013, 12:31 PM
I wish it was that easy.
It's all very well saying you wouldn't give them up, but if you don't, like it or not you're a criminal.
Do I risk depriving my kids of a father for however long I would be in prison if I got caught? Should I risk being deprived of all of my Second Anendment rights by having a criminal record over a couple of magazines?
They have us over a barrel.
As to moving to another state, my wife and I would do so in a heartbeat if her divorce papers didn't forbid moving my stepson more than 30 miles away from his father.

If you live in new york yes they have to be gone or destroyed within a year.
No you can only load 7rnds no matter the capacity of the magazine. I believe its a misdemeanor and automatic confiscation of the mag if its loaded to 8.
Oh man, it is much worse than that.
60 days from 1/15, it will be illegal to possess a mag larger than 10 rounds (aka pre-ban mags in NY). 10 round magazines that were possessed before 1/15 will still be legal.
60 days from 1/15 it will be a violation and fine to load more than 7 rounds in a 10 round mag in your home. Loading more than 7 rounds in a mag outside your home is a misdemeanor. Here is the very worst part - you can load more than 7 rounds in a 10 round mag at a firing range! I could not make this stuff up - you can load your mags up to shoot at targets, but not to protect your family in your own home.
It gets even better - in 90 days from 1/15 you can purchase a mag of any size that is a curio and relic. It has to be 50 years old or older, and only capable of being used in a firearm manufactured 50+ years ago. This probably means we can not keep any AK mags that are 50+ years old, but we can buy Garand en bloc clips that are more than 50 years old.

60 days?!
I thought we ad a year to dispose of our >10 mags?
January 17, 2013, 01:30 PM
The Benelli M2 Tactical is an "assault shotgun" but the Benelli M4 isn't?.... What about the M1S90?
Heck, my Mossberg 930 JM will do the same thing as the aforementioned shotguns... Sorry, just read that that is not a complete list.
And James, I do believe that you still have 1 year....to move. And 10 round magazines are apparently okay so long as you possessed them prior to the bill being passed.
January 17, 2013, 01:35 PM
This whole law was meant to outlaw half the guns people own. What full sized semi auto pistol has a capacity of 7 or less, except a 1911?
I'd hate to own a gun store in NY right now with a good chunk of my inventory illegal to sell.
January 17, 2013, 01:42 PM

Now all Ruger 10/22s are illegal and all Ruger 22 pistols. A 1911 model 45 is legal. A Bushmaster 223 that wouldn't exit a shot center mass of a criminal is illegal yet a Remington 700 in 30-06 that would exit a couple of people is legal. Who came up with these safe/not safe firearms.

Am I able to 'neuter' a magazine so I can still use it for display?
If so, what would I have to do with it to ensure it complies?
Would it be enough to remove and destroy the spring and follower?

I cant see how the desert eagle is banned, just on weight alone.There is no way this gun is commonly used in a crime, its like carrying a brick, ammo, especially 50ae is too expensive, & the gun is too expensive too.Maybe they banned it because its in every movie,like they did here with the butterfly knife.This is mindboggling.its outragous,these desicions are clear violations of gunowners & citizens rights, as was the way it was bulldozed into law with no say or opposition.

Uh... no. the law states: "A SEMIAUTOMATIC VERSION OF AN AUTOMATIC RIFLE, SHOTGUN OR FIREARM", or some such nonsense.
An AR with this butt stock would still be a semi automatic version of an AR-15. The REAL question is: how much difference does their have to be before they are considered different guns? Would modifying the receiver in some way make it different?
January 17, 2013, 04:12 PM
Heres something in the gun owners favor;In a 2008 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court seemed to indicate that guns protected by the constitution are those in common use. New York could face a challenge from someone arguing there are probably close to 10 million AR-15 type semi-automatic rifles in common use in the U.S.
January 17, 2013, 04:16 PM
Further than that, US vs. Miller ruled that the second amendment protects "arms in common use by the military" - not just "common use", generally.
(They made that flippant remark when ruling that a sawed off 12 gauge does not meet the protection of the 2nd amendment because it's not a type in common use by the military)
January 17, 2013, 04:31 PM
^Trent, you posted in another thread they want to include the 1911,Luger, Beretta 92 & Glock ?Well most of them are in common use,too,& just because there was a class 3 version of it at one is another excuse to expand & erradicate.
January 17, 2013, 04:40 PM
I don't really think that the NY politicians pay any attention to the law when legislating against guns.
It would give the NRA something to take them to court over however...
It would be nice if this nonsense got overturned in the SCOTUS, they need to be told that they can't trample all over the Second Amendment.
January 17, 2013, 04:47 PM
With the number of Supreme Court cases out there specifying that the second amendment is:
A) An individual right,
B) applied to the states through the 14th amendment,
C) applies to arms in common us by the military
While the Supreme court never specifically identified a class of weapons, they HAVE only ruled to exclude weapons "not in common use by the military".
A prohibition on military-style rifles in ANY state is unconstitutional.
This needs challenged.
January 17, 2013, 09:02 PM
Some of the guns on this list are rare & expensive,like the FNC, Galil,Swiss Sig 550; i would bet almost anything that no U.S. civilian has ever been killed with any of these guns;Does anyone know how rare the Sig amt & Sig 57 are? they are almost non existant,& should be in some kind of collector class or something.there should at least be a category that puts rare guns that were limited in this country, no longer imported into a different class.Just trying to find some kind of reason & logic,but look who we're dealing with.:confused:...
January 18, 2013, 10:03 AM
What is the likelihood that this law gets shot down? Hardly any guns have magazines that small. I can't imagine manufacturers would bother making magazines that small just for 1 state either.

But in NY state, do they not know who has what firearm by make, model and s/n? They can then make their way to each person of a firearm that WAS legal and is now illegal.
January 18, 2013, 10:45 AM
Isn't it now possible for the State of NY to inspect bound books as part of this law? I thought I remembered reading that in the law, for ammo sellers.
If so, they'll be able to find out exactly WHO bought WHAT, and WHEN, and compare that to their registry.
Kind of a smorgasbord of people to get warrants for, waiting there in those bound books.
"Oh look, Mr. Doe at 123 Patriot Lane bought an AR15 in 2005 at Dicks Sporting Goods, but didn't register it."

Oh I am sure they expect a lot of of neighbor tattle tales as well...
Maybe they can put cameras into the homes of those who own firearms too, just to make sure they don't load more than 7 rounds in a magazine.
January 18, 2013, 11:08 AM
Someone who owns a rifle, elects not to register it, and later is "found out" by a neighbor (say a child's friend learns of it, children talk you know).... is the owner then considered mentally unbalanced because he fears his government?
What about affiliation with certain political groups?
The mental health issue, without any defined conditions, appears to be a serious downward spiral.
20 years ago we disciplined children who misbehaved. Now an astonishing amount of them are judged to suffer from some ailment or another, and shoved full of pharmaceuticals.
I worry the same thing is beginning with firearms owners.
Demonize them. Make them paranoid. Declare them mentally incompetent over "delusions", and prohibit them from owning arms.
I'm not far off the mark, I fear. They're already starting the process with social media.
"Why do you need an AR-15?"
"To protect my way of life from a tyrannical Government."
"That rifle is going to protect you when Uncle Sam sends an Apache to knock on your front door? You're delusional and shouldn't be allowed to own firearms."
(I literally heard this argument just last night, arguing with an anti-gunner with the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence organization)
January 20, 2013, 09:43 PM
In NAZI Germany there were rewards offered for information leading to arrests. Oh yes, there will be lots of tattle-tales.
I really wish that NY gun owners would simply refuse, let their jails overflow, and let it get pushed to the SCOTUS. The whole state could be shut down while they sort it out, if there's enough incarcerated individuals (like a million or more).
If it came to AZ, and I doubt it ever would or could, I would be willing to be jailed for my rights. Because I firmly believe that our 1st amendment rights are hanging by a thin thread -> our right to bear arms. The Socialists know they need to disarm The People in order to fundamentally change our government. It's been written in history time after time after time.
And even still, none of this will stop another mass shooting, because the real problem is gun-free zones; constitutionally prohibited areas that turn citizens into targets for criminals and the insane.
January 20, 2013, 09:52 PM
^Trent; loose lips sink ships; you would have to wind up living a double life as a gun owner....

18:30, March 29 1992
Imagine for a moment that you're the head of the market leading database management system company: you're a charismatic industry figure; the future's so bright you've got to wear shades, as the song says. Then along comes a new software technology pitched aggressively against yours. Academics, journalists, users - they all start giving you needle about how old-fashioned your engine is. You fight it off as long as you can, secure in the knowledge that your market share is unassailable. Then one day it all comes to a grinding halt: you ring up the Wang brothers at Computer Associates International Inc and say, My name is John Cullinane and I think we need to make a deal. That's what happened to Cullinane's company Cullinet Software Inc, whose IDMS Codasyl database was IBM mainframe (and ICL) supremo until the rising tide of relational theory swept companies like Oracle Corp, Ingres Corp and Sybase Inc to their current supremacy. In the early 1980s Cullinane led a hopeless fight against relational theorists like Ted Codd and upstarts like Oracle, arguing first that relational was too slow, then the companies offering the software were too small to support users, and most humiliating of all, and too late, his software could become born-again relational. Then in 1984 IBM launched relational DB2, Oracle overtook Cullinet in size - and by 1988 it was over.
Rising tide
That was history first time round, played, as Marx said, as tragedy. Larry Ellison, head of Redwood City, California-based Oracle, has a nightmare that history will repeat itself - only this time the rising tide of object-oriented software will render his company impotent. Ellison took stage at the European Oracle User Group in Cannes last month to reassure his users that the same wasn't going to happen to Oracle. The real challenge to our industry isn't architectures, graphical user interfaces or networks - it's fundamental changes in database technology itself. To get all of our data onto the large scale, massively parallel servers which will become the mainframes of the 1990s is beyond what the relational model can cope with. So starting with version 7 of the Oracle database management system and in a process which will be largely over by version 8, we will offer support for the complex objects, engineering diagrams and full motion video users will need. Note that I didn't say relational, he added. Just what is Ellison offering here? Oracle will add object capabilities to the relational database but users will not have to change a single line of code therefore it cannot be a radical rearchitecting of the underlying engine and must be some sort of extra layer. Ellison argues that users need their investment protected, and that there is much that is valuable in the relational model that must be preserved. The new generation of object database companies have forgetten all the wonderful things about relational - like non-procedural languages, database independence, ad hoc enquiry, schemas. Our job as a vendor is to make the technology as accessible to customers but preserve their investment and transparently move to objects without changing a single line of code. So Oracle will somehow extend or evolve from relational to objects but remain largely relational? This begs two questions - one, why bother at all, and two, how can this paradigm shift happen so painlessly? Ellison's answer to the first is that a new class of problems that are difficult to solve in the relational model, like multimedia, provide an excellent opportunity to move the model on.
By Gary Flood
Ellison's well known fascination with massively parallel computing rears its head here: he told users that the future (mid-1990s) computing model will be based on hand-held and pen-based clients accessing huge public information databases by radio (he neglected to mention his investment in parallel manufacturer nCube Inc and Oracle's recent alignment with McCaw Cellular Communications Inc), and that relational can't cope in such a universe. To the second, Ellison promises users will have two
views into data, relational and object. 90% of code is common between relational and object, and in terms of disk management and networking needs they're very similar. Cullinet could have beaten us in the marketplace if they'd evolved their technology and taken relational seriously. IBM has had 30 years of evolving technology like this, as Intel has moved gracefully from the 8086 and will soon have the 80586, he says. There will be one company and one database, with common transaction management and security features, but two windows into that data, relational and object, with another schema based on the object extensions to SQL Oracle has been working on for the last two years, he claims. The long delayed version 7 of the database will have some object-like features, such as stored procedures which will act like object messages and some means of providing encapsulation. In strict object-oriented terms encapsulation means a form of information hiding, or how the internals of a piece of code or part of a system are made invisible to other parts of a system and are only accessible via a defined interface. It will also hold large bit streams, Binary Large Objects, the so-called poor man's objects offerd by some other vendors such as Ingres and Informix Software Inc. Users are still on version 6: Ellison now admits he made a mistake by holding onto version 7 for so long, and that it should have been released in two chunks - We had cracked referential integrity two years ago. Anyway, version 7 will finally be released sometime this summer - Oracle says you can have a beta version now if you ring them up - and in 7.1 users will have a very fast access method for storing a high level Object SQL applications programming interface; by version 8, which on past form may be as released as much as two years after 7 goes into production, developers will be offered inheritance and class hierarchies, as well as a separate object level schema and a programming interface at a higher level than SQL, Object SQL. Ellison also sees Oracle getting the world to accept his Object SQL as the industry leader in the same way that IBM got the world to buy into SQL itself, which had many technologically superior rivals such as Ingres' query language at the time but which became de facto standard. This may be somewhat of a surprise to the Object Management Group, which tends to the democratic, never a political style that has particularly appealed to Ellison, and which seems unlikely to roll over so easily and agree to this. So objects uber alles, Larry? Not that simple, it turns out. Actually Ellison sees object orientation as being at the same stage as Oracle was in 1979 when it started - a neat tool but not for grown ups.
Little children
Before 4GLs and report writers, relational databases were just a nifty little bit of software. Without an object database and an object report writer and all the other tools, objects are the same. Users should not mess around with this very immature technology. It's not for little children. Anyone who wants to build mission-critical applications in C++ is on drugs. What is the world to make of all this? On the one hand, a company as big as Oracle coming out for objects is a fantastic boost to the take-up of the technology, and to the efforts of bodies like the Object Management Group. On the other, Oracle is one of the greatest exponents of software marketing nous: Ellison is jumping on the right bandwaggon at about the right time with the simultaneous message - Objects are great and we'll offer them/Objects are scary so don't dump relational. But Oracle going objects can't be a bad thing. Just remember two things. Only 7% of the world's computerised data is even relational yet - the rest is still on IDMS and IMS. And Larry doesn't want history to repeat itself as farce - a farce we could all enjoy at his expense. Imagine for a moment you're the head of the market-leading database company...

What a great advertisement for the LV= County Championship.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- A joint operation by the Israel Defense Forces, Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), and Israel Police tracked down a Palestinian terror cell believed responsible for an attack in December on an IDF army base.
The four-member cell, affiliated with the Tanzim, the military wing of the Palestinian Authority's Fatah faction, attacked and lightly injured the guard at the Rama Army Base in northern Jerusalem and stole his M-16 rifle, the IDF reported on its website.
The report named Aiad Fathi Mustafa Khader, 36, a Fatah-Tanzim operative and resident of Ar-Ram.
The three others -- Muhammad Said Hasin Matir, 32; Muhammad Ghazi Fares Kassem, 24; and Anuar Ismaail Gabarin Abu Zeida, 35 -- are residents of Kalandia, a Palestinian Arab town between Jerusalem and Ramallah.
The Jerusalem District Court indicted Khader for stealing and selling arms. The Judea and Samaria Military Court indicted the other three for stealing arms, including the theft of a weapon from Ma'ale Michmash, a Jewish community in Samaria.
Marwan Barghouti, serving five consecutive life sentences for masterminding terror attacks during the Second Intifada from 2000 to 2005 and for the murder of four Israelis and a Greek Orthodox priest, is the former head of the Tanzim militia.
In related news, a Jerusalem District Court convicted two senior Hamas members of terror-related activities, Israel National News reported Thursday.
According to the report, Khaled Abu Arfa and Mahmad Toutach both held Israeli ID cards at one time and were residents of Jerusalem, where they sought to conduct business on behalf of the Palestinian Authority.
After Israel's Interior Ministry removed their legal residence status in 2006, the two men worked out of the Red Cross offices in Jerusalem's Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood until their arrest in 2011.
Their sentencing will take place at a later date, the report stated.

The objective of the project was to investigate options for improving fish passage at the Easton and Chain Dams along the Lehigh River, while providing a mechanism to sustain water flow into the Lehigh and Delaware Canals, which are currently watered by the two dams. Although there are currently fishways on the Easton Dam, the Chain Dam and the next dam upstream, the Hamilton Street Dam in Allentown, they have proven to be very inefficient for passing migrating shad. After much study, it has been concluded that the only feasible way to allow fish migration into the river in substantial enough numbers to allow populations to recover is to remove the dams.
A process will now begin to evaluate the risks, costs, and benefits associated with either dam removal, or the "no action" alternative, which would result in the current fishways continuing to operate in an inefficient manner.
The Lehigh River Fish Passage Improvement Feasibility Study is available for public comment. Please send your comments to email@example.com by 5 p.m. on July 17, 2013.

The Lehigh River has been used and enjoyed by countless generations, from the first Native Americans to settle upon its banks; to the many industrialists who used it to produce iron, cement and steel; to the recreational boaters, anglers, and wildlife enthusiasts who love the river today.
In the 1970s the passage of the Clean Water Act began the environmental movement that has since led to dramatic improvements in the ecological health of the River. But the Lehigh still faces enormous challenges, which include the existence of large dams that adversely affect water quality and aquatic and riparian habitat, prevent the natural movement of many resident and migratory fish species, exacerbate flooding and erosion, and are significant public safety hazards.
The dams constructed on the Lehigh River during the 1800s have resulted in the near extirpation of American shad and other migratory fishes, including hickory shad, blueback herring, and alewife, from the Lehigh. The American shad is an anadromous fish that lives much of its life in the Atlantic Ocean, but must migrate into freshwater rivers and streams to spawn.
Before the dams were constructed, shad were an extremely abundant and very critical component of the Lehigh River ecosystem. Creation of the dams stopped shad migration into the Lehigh River. Removing dams will allow shad and other migratory fish to return to the Lehigh and will allow resident fish to move freely throughout the river. Restoration of American shad was the primary impetus for undertaking this project, but the many potential social and environmental benefits that could result would extend far beyond fish.
For over 30 years, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, Wildlands Conservancy, and their partners have been attempting to restore American shad to the Lehigh River through a combination of stocking and provision of fish passage at existing dams. The Easton and Chain Dams, which are the focus of this study, have existing fishways (installed in 1994), but monitoring indicates that passage is very inefficient and inadequate to support the restoration of a self-sustaining population of American shad. The study evaluated a wide range of engineering options to improve fishway efficiency but dam removal was found to be the only viable option to restore the fishery.
