- Arrest adds pressure on Internet gaming
Arrest adds pressure on Internet gaming
08 September 2006

September 8, 2006
ST. LOUIS –Gambling industry experts agree: If you operate an offshore gaming Web site, stay out of the U.S.
Moments after stepping foot on American soil Thursday, Sportingbet PLC Chairman Peter Dicks became the second British offshore sports betting executive arrested in recent months for illegal online gambling in the U.S. Former BetOnSports PLC Chief Executive Officer David Carruthers was arrested on federal charges in July.
It's still unclear if the arrest is a coincidence or part of a government crackdown, but some experts suspect the latter.
And as millions of dollars in bets for the NFL's opening weekend roll into thousands of Web sites, the pressure on the Internet gaming industry has intensified.
"You don't need legal expertise to know if you are running an offshore gambling site, don't come to America right now. You stand a good chance of being arrested," Internet gambling expert and lawyer Nelson Rose said.
Dicks, 64, was arrested at Kennedy International Airport in New York after flying from London, where his Web sites operate legally and are traded on the London Stock Exchange. More than $1.5 billion shares in the company were suspended by the LSE at Sportingbet's request Thursday.
Dicks was detained on a Louisiana state warrant from May for gambling by computer, a felony punishable by up to five years year in prison and a $25,000 fine. Similar warrants have been issued for other Sportingbet associates, but authorities would not release information on who or how many of them are wanted.
Eight states have laws prohibiting Internet gambling: Washington, Nevada, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, South Dakota, Michigan and Oregon. The arrest of Dicks marked the first time one of those states has taken action against one of thousands of big-time online gambling operations. Millions of American players bet an estimated $6 billion per year online, according to industry figures.
Carruthers was detained at a Dallas airport July 16 on federal charges from the U.S. Attorney's office in St. Louis crafted around the 1961 Wire Act. The federal law bans sports bets over the phone (or in this case the Internet), even if the business is overseas.
Cases against offshore betting companies are extremely difficult to prosecute because of the many gray areas — including poker and casino games — in the current law that U.S. lawmakers hope to clear up, Rose said.
"Prosecutors are looking for easy cases," said Rose, a professor at the Whittier College of Law in California. "It has to be sports betting, it has to be one that takes bets by phone and they have to physically be able to catch them. That's the hard part."

National Family Health History Day is celebrated on November 24, 2016.
Every year, the U.S. Surgeon General declares Thanksgiving Day to be National Family Health History Day. A family health history is a record of medical and health information about a person and his or her blood relatives. It can give clues to conditions that may run in a family and can help identify individuals who are at an increased risk of developing those conditions. The easiest way to get information about family health history is to talk with relatives about their past and current health issues. The Surgeon General suggests that a good time to collect this health information is when family is gathered together for the Thanksgiving holiday. During this time, multiple generations of family, who might not live near one another, can discuss health issues and answer questions. This family gathering is a valuable opportunity to collect an accurate family health history. Several resources are available to collect and record health information about family members. It is important to keep this information up-to-date and share it with a healthcare professional regularly.

On December 10, 1962, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Francis Crick, James Watson, and Maurice Wilkins for their roles in discovering the double helix structure of DNA.
While working to figure out the structure of DNA, Francis Crick and James Watson surmised that DNA is composed of four base pairs (adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine), which consistently pair together (adenine with thymine and guanine with cytosine) along a phosphate backbone.
Crick and Watson built models of DNA, while Maurice Wilkins and his colleague Rosalind Franklin used technology called X-ray crystallography to take pictures of actual DNA molecules with a microscope. These X-ray pictures provided clues of DNA's double helical structure. Crick and Watson saw the work that Wilkins and Franklin were doing, specifically an X-ray crystallography picture of DNA known as photograph 51, and they realized the true double helix structure of DNA.
In April 1953, Watson and Crick published their findings in the journal Nature, stating that the DNA "structure has novel features which are of considerable biological interest." The discovery of the double helix structure of DNA allowed scientists to visualize how genetic information is stored, copied, and transmitted to the next generation.
While Rosalind Franklin worked alongside Maurice Wilkins during the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, she died in 1958, four years before the award was given. The Nobel Prize rules state that only living persons can be nominated.
The discovery of the structure of DNA allowed for further discoveries in human genetics and cell biology, such as how proteins are produced from genes and the process by which DNA copies (replicates) itself during cell division. It also opened the door for advancements in biotechnology, including sequencing of the entire human genome.

Australian economist Steve Keen has previously argued that it is far more beneficial to bail out consumers than the banks, and now has made it part of a manifesto for avoiding a worse-than-the-1930s economic depression.
As part of his analysis, he looks at the Dow [click to enlarge charts]:
... and the US housing market:
If his exponential trend lines are correct, stocks will have to fall by a further 35% and houses 40%, ignoring overshoot.
If that seems overly pessimistic, consider James Howard Kunstler, who revisits his "Dow 4,000" mantra and modifies it to 1,000 by 2014. Unbelievable? Only if you think tomorrow will be no worse than yesterday, and ignore how freakish the whole period from the mid-1980s has been. I had a go at reading the patterns back in February 2011 and the next Dow low looked around 4,500 - adjusted for CPI, in view of our inflation-happy leaders.
What would I know about it, you may say. Well, what does anybody know, and more pertinently, what do they know?
I have to say that I may soon need to modify my investment disclosure, as it may be prudent to begin buying physical gold in regular small quantities, against the possibility of a serious market breakdown and savaging of the value of cash. The gold price is still rather rich for my taste, but what's the alternative?
Do you really think our politicians, bankers and economists have a credible plan to sort out the problems? I like Keen's, but I'll give you long odds against it ever happening. Still, better noble failure than dishonourable compromise, I think the Japanese would agree: 判官贔屓.
DISCLOSURE: None. Still in cash (and index-linked National Savings Certificates), and missing all those day-trading opportunities.

UNITED STATES of America ex rel. Albert CURTIS, Petitioner,
Hon. Nelson H. OTIS, Acting Warden of Green Haven Prison, Respondent. UNITED STATES of America ex rel. Albert CURTIS, Petitioner, v. Hon. John ZELKER, Superintendent of Green Haven Correctional Facility, Stormville, New York, Respondent. UNITED STATES of America ex rel. Albert CURTIS, Petitioner, v. Hon. John ZELKER, Warden of Green Haven State Prison, Stormville, New York, Respondent
Lasker, District Judge.
LASKER, District Judge.
Albert F. Curtis, a New York State prisoner confined in Green Haven Correctional Facility, Stormville, New York, seeks a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Curtis is serving an indeterminate sentence of twenty years to life, imposed by the New York Supreme Court, Bronx County, following his plea of guilty on October 16, 1963, to the charge of murder in the second degree. At a hearing on a writ of error coram nobis held September 8, 1969, before Supreme Court Justice Starke, it was determined that Curtis had not been advised of his right to appeal. He was then resentenced nunc pro tunc, as of November 21, 1963, and given the opportunity to appeal. The conviction was affirmed without opinion by the Appellate Division (People v. Curtis, 34 A.D. 2d 739, 310 N.Y.S. 2d 996 (1st Dept. 1970)). Leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals was denied.
Three petitions have been consolidated before us. The first, 70 Civ. 3347, asserts that the resentencing nunc pro tunc deprived petitioner of his right to an effective appeal and thus violated due process and equal protection of the law. The second, 71 Civ. 321, alleges on grounds discussed extensively below that his plea was neither voluntary nor intelligently made. The third, 71 Civ. 4069, claims that petitioner's resentence was without due process because the New York Penal Law had been revised after the date of petitioner's conviction and he was not resentenced under the new law.
Finding that issues of fact were raised by the first two petitions, counsel was appointed for Curtis and an evidentiary hearing held as to those two petitions pursuant to Townsend v. Sain, 372 U.S. 293, 83 S. Ct. 745, 9 L. Ed. 2d 770 (1963). The record now before us establishes that petitioner's plea was not intelligently and knowingly made. Petitioner's second application (70 Civ. 321) is therefore granted and he shall be released from custody unless the State proceeds to retry him. This grant renders the other petitions moot, and they are accordingly dismissed.
The first petition may be construed to raise the question whether the passage of time now renders it impossible for Curtis to prove his incompetence at the time of the crime. However, at the evidentiary hearing no evidence was submitted on the issue, nor has it been otherwise pressed. We make no determination of fact or law regarding the question presented, which it would appear can be appropriately raised in the further state court proceedings mandated below.
Curtis was indicted on May 3, 1963, for the crime of murder in the first degree. He had been arrested April 19, 1963, and detained for the killing of a card game participant during a robbery at the Aces Up Social Club.
On May 6, 1963, Justice Martines in Supreme Court, Bronx County, appointed Herbert Feuer and Anthony Masciarelli as defense counsel. Four days later Curtis saw his lawyers for the first time in the "bull pen" of the courthouse for a few minutes prior to his arraignment. At that time he reviewed his past, telling his attorneys that a good part of his life had been in institutions for the delinquent or mentally ill, and that only two weeks before the crime took place he had been committed to Bellevue Hospital's psychiatric ward. Curtis' record is such that he had reason to press the question of his competence and responsibility. His treatment began at the age of eleven under psychiatrists associated with Johns Hopkins Hospital. At fifteen, his parents committed him to Boys Village in Maryland for truancy and misconduct which the parents could not control. Within the year he was sentenced to three years in the Maryland State Reformatory for Males for storehouse breaking, and was transferred from there to Patuxent Institute.
His history includes repeated violations of the law, confinements, and psychiatric examinations and treatments with each confinement. In 1957, the Patuxent doctors concluded that Curtis was a defective delinquent, that "he demonstrates a propensity toward anti-social behavior and is emotionally unstable to a severe degree. He cannot apparently restrain his impulses and he lacks sufficient judgment to abide by the rules of society." (Petitioner's Exh. 11 at p. 70). Petitioner was committed to Patuxent for an indefinite term as a result of these findings, and not finally released until November 2, 1962. Within three months, petitioner was examined by court-appointed psychiatrists following an assault on his wife, and declared to be a sociopsychopath. (Petitioner's Exh. 11 at p. 131).
How much of this record Curtis told to Feuer at their first meeting is unclear. Feuer stated: "I believe I spoke to him on May 7th and he told me about his record, his background of being in a mental institution and I think prior arrests." (Tr., at p. 80). However, Feuer evidently had enough information to request that Curtis be examined before proceeding further:
"Mr. Feuer: Your Honor, on behalf of the defendant Curtis I ask that he be sent to Bellevue Hospital for examination. Mr. Curtis has advised me of psychiatric trouble relating back to the time he was eleven years old. He was treated at Johns Hopkins Hospital and two other hospitals in Manhattan, and recently at Bellevue. I think that this case should require hospitalization of this type and a report sent back to the Court.
"The Court: You have no objection?
"Mr. McCarthy (Assistant District Attorney): No objection.
"The Court: All right. So Ordered."
(Petitioner's Exh. 1; Transcript of Proceedings held May 10, 1963, Supreme Court, Bronx County).
Curtis was accordingly committed to Bellevue for observation. During the two-month period of commitment he had no contact with his lawyers. While Curtis was in Bellevue, Feuer met with his wife (Tr., at p. 79) and his mother and stepfather (Id., at p. 95). Feuer made some effort to obtain the Patuxent records, without success. (Id., at p. 106). He never sought to examine the file at Bellevue. (Id., at pp. 106-107).
It is reasonable to believe that Curtis' wife gave Mr. Feuer a thorough and intelligent description of Curtis' severe psychiatric problems. The record of Curtis' stay at Dannemora (see Transcript of Petitioner's Hearing of September 16, 1971 -- hereinafter cited as "Tr." -- at pp. 116-117) includes a letter from Mrs. Curtis to the director of Dannemora dated October 29, 1965. From the excerpt which we set out in the margin,
it will be seen that Mrs. Curtis, who had worked as a nurse in a state hospital for three years, was greatly concerned about the state of her husband's mental health; was exceptionally capable in recalling and describing his history and symptoms, and expressed her love for him despite abuse by him. It is difficult to believe that Mrs. Curtis, who was so careful, concerned and detailed in her letter to Dannemora which involved treatment, would not have given Mr. Feuer an equally complete and impassioned presentation at a time when Curtis' life was at stake.
By letter of July 17, 1963, Bellevue Hospital reported (in accordance with the New York statutory formula) that Curtis, while "not in such a state of idiocy, imbecility or insanity as to be incapable of understanding the charge . . . or of making his defense," nevertheless evidenced "rather fragile paranoid type defenses, with underlying psychosis." (Petitioner's Exh. 3).
Curtis next saw Feuer on August 7, 1963 (again in the "bull pen" of the courthouse) before appearing in court for motions and pleading not guilty. Feuer told Curtis that he did not agree with the Bellevue report because, as petitioner put it, "it was his opinion that I was insane" (Tr., at p. 29). Feuer's testimony, while not specifically addressed to this talk with his client, was that, while he doubted Curtis was "psychotic" (Tr., at p. 100), he believed "there was a possibility" of such a condition (Tr., at p. 105). Feuer did not show petitioner the Bellevue report, although he had it in his possession. Curtis testified that he told Feuer that one of the psychiatrists examining him at Bellevue had expressed the belief Curtis was "insane."
In court that day, Feuer sought to have Curtis examined further. He came prepared with motion papers seeking the appointment of two psychiatrists to examine Curtis as to his mental condition at the time of the crime. The Assistant District Attorney suggested that one psychiatrist was sufficient since the state could retain its own without court order. Questioned by the Court on this point, Feuer agreed with the Assistant District Attorney. The colloquy led up to an order for appointment of a psychiatrist to explore both Curtis' present competence and his mental condition at the time of the crime:
"The Court: The application now then is for appointment of a psychiatrist in behalf of the defendant and in behalf of the People to examine this defendant to ascertain, if they can, the state of his, the mental state, rather, as of the date of the crime. Is that the point.
"Mr. Goldsmith (Assistant District Attorney): That's right.
"Mr. Feuer: Yes, sir.
"Mr. Goldsmith: So that we can take action on the Bellevue report. It wouldn't affect the thought that counsel has.
"The Court: What was your objection to taking action on the Bellevue report.
"Mr. Feuer: Because if the psychiatrists that examined him now feel that they would contravert the Bellevue report by their report, I feel we couldn't confirm.
"The Court: Very well, that's a different reason. Your psychiatrist, you feel, should advise you first.
"The Court: With respect to their examination and whether or not you will then contravert this report.
"The Court: With respect to his present state of sanity.
"The Court: There is something to that. In fact, I think that's a good thing. However, to have the record complete, Mr. Goldsmith, I believe the People should submit an affidavit either joining in the request or not. After all, it's a capital case.
"Mr. Goldsmith: I am joining in the request."
(Petitioner's Exh. 2, Transcript of Motion and Pleading, Supreme Court, Bronx County, August 7, 1963, at pp. 4-5).
Justice Waltemade entered his decision granting the motion, and it was filed with Feuer's motion papers annexed. (Petitioner's Exh. 9). In Feuer's affidavit accompanying the application, he set forth his belief in the importance of the requested examination and his basis for that belief:
"On the basis of our investigations it is the considered and unanimous opinion of defendant's assigned counsel that the issue of the defendant's mental condition at the time of the commission of the acts charged against him as affecting his criminal responsibility or alternatively, his mental condition, affecting the degree of crime will become the crucial issue in this case. To explore properly and to revaluate these serious factors bearing on the guilt or innocence of the accused, it will be absolutely necessary in the protection of the defendant's rights to obtain competent psychiatric advice and assistance to appraise the medical significance of the facts surrounding the alleged crime and that defense counsel be authorized and empowered to employ two qualified psychiatrists as expert witnesses to examine the defendant, ALBERT CURTIS, for the purpose of advising defense counsel as to his mental condition at the time of the alleged crime and the existence of any mental disease which would affect his criminal responsibility, upon which issue the affirmative presentation of evidence is incumbent on the said defendant, or alternatively whether the defendant, at the time of the alleged crime, was mentally incapable of killing deliberately, as charged in the indictment."
(Affidavit of Herbert J. Feuer in support of motions, sworn to July 30, 1963, Petitioner's Exh. 9 [enclosed]).
"The basis for my belief, is as follows: The defendant, ALBERT CURTIS, at the age of fifteen (15) was sent to Boys Village in Maryland in response to his parents' request for assistance in handling repeated truancy. There were subsequent parole violations, recommitment and several escapes. He subsequently was sent to Maryland State Reformatory where he presented problems and was thereafter sent to Patuxent Institution. Defendant had been receiving psychiatric examination pending sentence in 1957. The impression was 'Defective Delinquent'. Psychological tests were performed in November of 1962 and resulted in a diagnosis of 'Emotional Immaturity and Passive-Aggressive Personality.' The final diagnosis at Patuxent Institution was 'Sociopathic Personality, Antisocial Reaction'. Defendant, ALBERT CURTIS, was committed to Bellevue in February of 1963 where he remained for a period of two (2) weeks and the Bellevue diagnosis at that time was 'Psychopathic Personality'."
(Id., at p. 2).
Although Feuer indicated that he made inquiries as to psychiatrists who might be appointed, and indeed carried a proposed order with him for signature in court on August 7th, he never served or filed the order and no psychiatrist was ever appointed. Feuer testified at the instant hearing that he believed the psychiatric examination would indicate that petitioner was competent and that "I made this motion for additional time because he had a first degree murder indictment facing him." (Tr., at p. 101). He conceded that had the examination found petitioner incompetent, he would have opposed confirmation of the Bellevue report. As Feuer put it, "I thought there was a possibility but I didn't think it was the case [that petitioner was psychotic]. I didn't want to go to trial on a first degree murder indictment where a man's life was at stake." (Tr., at p. 105). Be that as it may, Feuer admitted that there was no obstacle to pursuing the psychiatric examination, as the defendant (and the Court) had every reason to believe he would do. The following colloquy at the hearing between petitioner's counsel and Feuer is illuminating in this regard:
"Q Actually all you had to do apparently was to submit an order and the psychiatrist would have been appointed to examine Mr. Curtis; would that have hindered your ability to work out some arrangement with the District Attorney's office in any way?
"A I don't think so.
"Q In other words, while you were negotiating a plea which you would consider satisfactory to represent to Mr. Curtis you could have submitted your order and had him examined by a psychiatrist to determine the state of his mental condition?
"A Yes.
"THE COURT: Why didn't you?
"THE WITNESS: Because we started discussions with the District Attorney.
"THE COURT: What was there to lose?
"THE WITNESS: Nothing to lose."
(Tr., at pp. 112-113).
At the August 7, 1963 appearance petitioner pleaded not guilty and the case was marked off the calendar and put down as ready for trial at the call of the District Attorney. Thereafter defense counsel for Curtis met with the District Attorney's office several times, and when the District Attorney consented to reduce the charge if Curtis would plead the case was restored to the calendar.
At some time in August or September 1963, Feuer visited Curtis for the first and only time at the Bronx House of Detention. He told Curtis that the District Attorney's office offered to accept a guilty plea to a lesser offense. Curtis testified that during this meeting, which he recalls lasted some fifteen minutes, Feuer told him that "the court had destroyed my defense . . . and that he could not take me to trial with one psychiatrist . . . and that I had no defense [of insanity], and that I would be stupid to continue to try to go to trial without this." (Tr., at p. 33. See also Feuer testimony, Tr., at 88.) Curtis stated that Feuer did not tell him at this time what the lesser offense was. (Id., at pp. 33-35).
When Curtis was brought to court on October 8, 1963, he met briefly, again in the "bull pen", with his other lawyer, Masciarelli, who urged that he plead to the reduced charge, emphasizing that he would receive a sentence less than life. Feuer indicated that he, too, "most likely told him [Curtis] that the judge would give him less than that [life]." (Tr., at p. 85).
Petitioner and his counsel then appeared before Justice Lyman. The Assistant District Attorney moved to confirm the Bellevue report, and Curtis' counsel consented. After a bench conference between Feuer, Masciarelli, the Assistant District Attorney and the Court at which it was indicated that the District Attorney would "accept murder 2 as a reduced plea," (Tr., at p. 107) the matter was adjourned to October 22nd. Feuer stated that this adjournment was provided so that defense counsel could confer with their client. They did so and "told him to think about it, think about the offer of the reduced plea." (Tr., at p. 84). Feuer recalled that he "told him that the District Attorney offered murder 2 and he would not face the death penalty." Up until that time Curtis had not indicated his willingness to plead guilty. Shortly after the October 8th appearance in court Curtis was visited by his mother. He summarized the conversation and its impact as follows:
"Well, she said that after she had talked to the lawyer that he told her that I didn't have a defense and I had a bad probation report and I had many other things that were against me and that I should plead guilty and not try to go to trial as I had intended to, and I didn't want to go along with it, and she started to cry and I told her 'All right, I will plead guilty.'" (Tr., at pp. 39-40).
On October 16th Curtis was brought to court and met briefly with Feuer, again in the "bull pen." Curtis recalled being advised by Feuer that he would be asked certain questions by the judge at the pleading, and being told what answers he should make. When Curtis "asked the counsel about the psychiatrist that the court had appointed me . . . he said, 'don't worry about it right now. Everything was all right.'" (Tr., at p. 42).
Curtis then appeared with his co-defendant before Justice Lyman for pleading. The Assistant District Attorney recited the events alleged to constitute the crimes and the role ascribed to each defendant. The following exchange then took place:
"The Court: Albert Curtis and James Lester, did you listen to Mr. McCarthy, Andrew McCarthy, the Assistant District Attorney recite the facts in connection with this crime you committed?
"The Defendant Curtis: Yes.
"The Defendant Lester: Yes, sir.
"The Court: All right, are those facts true?
"The Court: Now, Albert Curtis, I ask you whether you did on April 18, 1963, at 676 Jefferson Place in the Bronx participate in an act which caused the death of Abner Langford, an act which constitutes the crime of Murder in the 2nd degree?
"The Defendant Curtis: Yes, Your Honor.
. . .
"The Court: [Now], I'm asking each one of you, I want an answer from each one of you. I'm adressing my remarks now to both of you, did anyone promise you anything, the District Attorney, the Court or your lawyers?
"The Defendant Curtis: No, sir.
"The Defendant Lester: No, sir.
"The Court: Did anyone force you to take this plea?
"The Court: Are you taking this plea of your own free will and accord?
"The Defendant Curtis: Yes, sir.
"The Court: I'm asking you Albert Curtis, are you guilty of the crime you are now entering a plea to which is Murder in the 2nd Degree?
"The Court: Take the pleas."
(Petitioner's Exh. 5, Transcript of Pleadings, Supreme Court, Bronx County, October 16, 1963, at pp. 10-12).
Curtis' plea of guilty was then entered routinely. He was not instructed that by pleading guilty he waived all defenses, and no inquiry was made as to his lack of competence, whether Curtis had been examined by a psychiatrist pursuant to the grant of the motion for that purpose, or whether he knew the consequences of a plea to second degree murder. (Transcript of Pleadings, supra). Indeed, none of the transcripts of petitioner's appearance before Justice Lyman indicates that he was appraised of Justice Waltemade's order for a psychiatric examination. He was not advised of his right to appeal.
Curtis again saw Feuer and Masciarelli just before sentencing on November 21, 1963. At their "bull pen" meeting, Curtis states, "I had asked them what about the psychiatrist that the court appointed to me and they said they would take care of it and that right now their main interest was trying to be able to have it so the judge would give me a smaller sentence." (Tr., at p. 46). Sentence of 20 years to life was then imposed. Curtis never saw his counsel again. He states, "After sentence I went to turn around to see my lawyer and he was leaving the courtroom very quickly." (Tr., at p. 48).
Within weeks of his sentence, Curtis wrote from prison to Feuer asking about the psychiatric examination which had not been held and expressing his concern. He requested a copy of the Bellevue report. Feuer replied that "it will not be possible for me to send you a copy of the psychiatric report which you requested, as this report is a privileged and confidential communication and was addressed to Supreme Court Judge Thomas Dickens." (Petitioner's Exh. 8). It was not until four years later that Curtis was able to obtain a copy of the Bellevue report. He wrote Bellevue directly at that time, and the hospital told him he would have to request that it be sent to him through either a doctor or lawyer. He then requested that the hospital send the report to Feuer and asked Feuer to forward it to him.
Although of marginal probative value as to his mental state at the time of the plea itself, it is instructive to note that within a year of Curtis' sentencing he experienced delusions of threats on his life, and on November 5, 1965, was adjudged mentally ill following a hearing before a judge of the Clinton County Surrogate's Court. He was then committed to Dannemora State Hospital pursuant to § 383 of the New York Correction Law, McKinney's Consol. Laws, c. 43. The files from Curtis' one-year Dannemora commitment are in evidence before us and reveal the depth of his mental disturbances at that time.
The standard test as to whether a guilty plea comports with due process of law is "whether the plea represents a voluntary and intelligent choice among the alternative courses of action open to the defendant." North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25, 31, 91 S. Ct. 160, 164, 27 L. Ed. 2d 162 (1970); Brady v. United States, 397 U.S. 742, 90 S. Ct. 1463, 25 L. Ed. 2d 747 (1970). In Brady, the Court observed (at 748, 90 S. Ct. at 1469) that "the plea is more than an admission of past conduct; it is the defendant's consent that judgment of conviction may be entered without a trial -- a waiver of his right to trial before a jury or a judge. Waivers of constitutional rights not only must be voluntary but must be knowing, intelligent acts done with sufficient awareness of the relevant circumstances and likely consequences. [citations omitted]."
We find that Curtis' plea was neither knowingly nor intelligently made.
Curtis' constitutional rights were clearly violated. The conviction of a legally incompetent defendant offends due process. Bishop v. United States, 350 U.S. 961, 76 S. Ct. 440, 100 L. Ed. 835 (1956). Where a sufficient doubt is raised as to a defendant's competence to stand trial it is the duty of the trial court to determine that matter. The copious evidence as to Curtis' history raised such a doubt. Although the facts were not brought to the attention of the judge who took the plea or imposed sentence, they were brought to the attention of a judge who earlier heard the matter, and who without hesitation granted the motion of Curtis' counsel for a psychiatric examination.
Curtis' right to a determination of his competence was never waived. Pate v. Robinson, 383 U.S. 375, 384, 86 S. Ct. 836, 15 L. Ed. 2d 815 (1966). He himself took no action on the matter, always believing that the examination was still to occur. His counsel could not waive the right except with their client's express and understanding approval (assuming, which is far from clear, that he was competent to give it). As the Court said in Kibert v. Peyton, 383 F.2d 566, 569 (4th Cir. 1967):
"The Supreme Court has held categorically that the defense of incompetency to stand trial cannot be waived by the incompetent, Pate v. Robinson, 383 U.S. 375, 86 S. Ct. 836, 15 L. Ed. 2d 815 (1966), and it ineluctably follows that his counsel cannot waive it for him by failing to move for examination of his competency."
But we need not rely on negatives. The crowning violation of Curtis' unwaived rights is that he was persuaded to plead guilty on an assumption to which he was positively misled: that the arrangements for a psychiatric examination to support an insanity defense were proceeding normally and remained viable in spite of the plea. He was never advised that his plea of guilty waived the defense. In short, his plea was based on an entirely false assumption and therefore without knowledge of its consequence, that is, its finality. A plea made under such circumstances is neither knowing nor voluntary.
Counsels' failure to follow through with the ordered examination, their failure to advise Justice Lyman that it had been ordered, and their clear unwillingness to provide the Bellevue report to Curtis or otherwise consult him actively in framing his defense, has resulted in a situation where to this day, even upon the record so far developed, it cannot be said whether Curtis was competent either at the time of pleading or at the time of the crime. Furthermore, nowhere in the record of the trial court proceedings is it shown that Curtis knowingly waived his right to jury trial, that he waived his right to confront witnesses against him or any of his defenses, that he fully understood what second degree murder was under state law and what the consequences to a plea on that charge might be; in other words, that he understood all the alternatives available to him sufficiently to make an intelligent choice among them. Indeed, it is regrettable to note that he was never even questioned on any of these points. No intelligent waiver has taken place. See Von Moltke v. Gillies, 332 U.S. 708, 724, 68 S. Ct. 316, 92 L. Ed. 309 (1948); Brady v. United States, supra.
Beyond the clear deprivation of Curtis' right to due process of law, violation of his Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel is seriously raised here.
"If counsel's representation is so 'horribly inept' as to amount to 'a breach of his legal duty faithfully to represent his client's interests' . . . there has been a lack of compliance with the fundamental fairness essential to due process." United States ex rel. Maselli v. Reincke, 383 F.2d 129, 132 (2d Cir. 1967).
The record not only is devoid of detailed consultations between defendant and counsel in which facts, charges and possible defenses were discussed in depth, but establishes that the defendant met relatively few times with his counsel and those meetings, generally limited to ten or fifteen minutes, occurred almost exclusively in the "bull pen" at the courthouse. Counsel may have acted sincerely in their client's best interests as they saw them, but that is no excuse for the failures evidenced in the record here. Counsel knew of Curtis' mental illness from talks with Curtis, his mother, and his wife. To disregard these circumstances and induce Curtis to plead without his understanding what was afoot may well go beyond mistaken "goodfaith evaluations." While trial counsel's behavior may not have shocked the conscience as a constitutional matter,
it fell shockingly below responsible professional standards.
Accordingly, we hold that Curtis' plea was not knowingly and intelligently made and that the writ should issue.
We are not unmindful that Curtis' record of mental illness and antisocial behavior is ground for serious concern. Nevertheless, in the circumstances of this case, the Constitution commands his release; his rights may not be curtailed on speculation as to whether his future conduct will be acceptable. The dilemma caused by the requirement that a person with Curtis' history must be released results directly from the failure of his counsel and the prosecuting authorities to assure his rights at the time of trial.
We express sincere thanks to Daniel R. Murdock and J. Peter Coll for the highly professional service they have rendered the petitioner in this case.
The petition for a writ of habeas corpus is granted and the judgment of conviction based on the petitioner's plea of guilty is vacated on the condition that, if Curtis is found presently competent to stand trial, the state will within 30 days of the filing of this opinion set a date for retrial no later than 90 days hereafter. This arrangement will give the parties the greatest assurance of securing the witnesses necessary for a retrial of a case relating to facts which occurred nearly ten years ago.
There is probable cause for appeal pursuant to Title 28, U.S. Code, § 2253. Permission is granted to the petitioner to proceed in forma pauperis in respect to any appeal that may be taken.
It is so ordered.

This community is for beginners and experts willing to share their Odoo knowledge. It's not a forum to discuss ideas, but a knowledge base of questions and their answers.
Is there a way to apply read, write permissions per field? Or turn to read-only based on user groups?
I need two types of users to access and modify some models: user and manager.
I have already defined security groups, but there crud permissions are applied on per-model basis. But I need to do it on per-field basis, or just turn a field to read-only based on user groups
Both user and manager must be able to read (see) and modify the records of a model. But user should only be allowed to edit some fields, while manager should be able to edit all of them.
Also, I know how to apply groups on fields in a view, but that prevents user to actually see the field, and that's not what I need.
How do I manage this situation?

The company says it will make a clean break from the strategy of its former CEO of 18 years as a focus on fashionable lifestyle products sputtered in Europe and China.

Famous, Rich and Jobless Review: The Benefits Of Celebrity
March 9, 2010 by George Nott
Filed under - Home, Reviews
FAMOUS, RICH AND JOBLESS: Tuesday 9th March, BBC1, 9pm ALERT ME
Poor celebrities. The things they have to do to get their mugs on telly these days.
Guest appearances on quiz shows and letting Loyd Grossman nose around your house just isn't enough anymore. If you want to boost your public profile you're going to have to make more effort than that – you might even have to interact with commoners.
Famous, Rich and Homeless sees four well-off celebs give up their plush country piles for a week to live in cheap accommodation, get by on benefits and try and get a job.
Emma-Parker Bowles, rather generously introduced as 'a model', Diarmuid Gavin, telly gardener, Meg Matthews, Noel Gallagher's ex-wife – now a 'interior designer' apparently, and Archie Mitchell, sorry, Larry Lamb are each given a bin-bag of cheap clothes and a few quid on which to survive.
They are shipped off to various unemployment hot-spots across the country where they will live and try their best to earn a crust.
After gasping in horror at their new homes (which don't look that unlike my flat) they hit the streets pleading with anyone and everyone to 'gis us a job'. All except Larry, who spends an hour talking to a bloke in a charity shop about how hard it is to find work in Hartlepool and that at 62 he might as well give up. Which he does.
The others take to the challenge with a bit more enthusiasm, Emma Parker-Bowles, the former alcoholic niece of Camilla, faces her demons after securing shifts in a pub. Meg Matthews chatty persona works to her advantage and Diarmuid Gavin does well with sheer persistence.
The show won't tell you much about the unemployment situation, which we all know is bad, but does reveal a lot about the celebrities. Those you predict to flop manage to fly, while Larry shows he's not far removed from his Eastenders character.

What is Melatonin?
Melatonin is a hormone found naturally in the body. Melatonin used as medicine is usually made synthetically in a laboratory. It is most commonly available in pill form, but melatonin is also available in forms that can be placed in the cheek or under the tongue. This allows the melatonin to be absorbed directly into the body.
People use melatonin to adjust the body's internal clock. It is used for jet lag, for adjusting sleep-wake cycles in people whose daily work schedule changes (shift-work disorder), and for helping blind people establish a day and night cycle.
Melatonin , chemically N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, is a substance found in animals, plants, fungi and bacteria. In animals it is a hormone that anticipates the daily onset of darkness; however in other organisms it may have different functions. Likewise, the synthesis of melatonin in animals differs from that in other organisms.
In animals, melatonin is involved in the entrainment (synchronization) of the circadian rhythms of physiological functions including sleep timing, blood pressure regulation, seasonal reproduction and many others. Many of melatonin's biological effects in animals are produced through activation of melatonin receptors while others are due to its role as a pervasive and powerful antioxidant, with a particular role in the protection of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA.
The hormone can be used as a sleep aid and in the treatment of some sleep disorders. It can be taken orally in liquid form as well as capsules or tablets in immediate- or prolonged-release form. It is also available in a form to be used sublingually, and as transdermal patches. Melatonin is sold over-the-counter in the U.S. and Canada. In other countries it may require a prescription or it may be unavailable.
In recent times, melatonin has become available as a drug and a dietary supplement. It appears to have some use against insomnia, jet lag, and circadian misalignment. Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant which can easily cross cell membranes including the blood-brain barrier. It has been studied for the treatment of cancer, immune disorders, cardiovascular diseases, depression, seasonal affective disorder, and sexual dysfunction; the results of most of these studies remain inconclusive. However, it has been shown to clearly ameliorate seasonal affective disorder and circadian misalignment, in studies by Alfred J. Lewy (OHSU) and other researchers.
Melatonin is referred to by some biochemists and human physiologists as the master hormone, because it regulates the production of most human hormones, both paracrine and endocrine. In addition, melatonin, taken alone, is an immunoregulator that enhances T cell production somewhat. However, when melatonin is taken in conjunction with calcium, it is a very potent immunostimulator of the T cell response. This is the reason it is used extensively as an adjuvant in many treatment protocols. Because it does not have to be prescribed, and since it is in the public domain, few doctors care to publicize its advantages. For the same reason, few clinical trials have been done to see its effectiveness in treating various diseases, such as cancer, obesity, h.i.v. infection, and others.
Melatonin Dosage
Light therapy may advance the phase about one to two-and-a-half hours and an oral dose of 0.3 or 3 mg of melatonin, timed correctly some hours before bedtime, can add about 30 minutes to the ~2 hour advance achieved with light therapy. There is no difference in the average magnitude of phase shift induced by the two doses (0.3 or 3 mg)
Is Melatonin Safe?
Melatonin taken with MAOI drugs can also lead to overdose because MAOIs inhibit the breakdown of melatonin by the body.Fortunately, melatonin exhibits almost no toxic side effects, except for the occurrence of somnolence in most of the population at higher doses. There are as of yet no reports about melatonin toxicity, notwithstanding the dosage administered, nor the amount of time the medication has been taken, except for clinical changes as noted in various studies. Exogenous melatonin does not affect the endogenous melatonin profile in the short or medium-term.There have not been sufficient studies done on pregnant women concerning possible carcinogenic effects.

We had such a wonderful stay in Pittsburgh, highly recommend staying at this apartment when visiting Pitt. This large, charming 1bedroom is tucked away in a rustic old home in North Side of Pitt. Lots of great restaurants and pubs nearby, some good parks to walk thru, and a nice coffee shop around the corner. The apartment is even nicer than the pictures and description. For our 3 day visit, we really felt at home.
We found our safe little parking space at Elena's Homeaway house in December for our trip to Pittsburgh for a conference downtown. The neighborhood has some houses that look a bit derelict, but overall it is a neighborhood on the rebound. We walked every day to the free T-station to town, or the closer nearby bus stop, even at night and had no problems. Inside the house, the steps are steep, so we were just careful going up and down. (It is not suitable for handicapped walkers.) The main kitchen area/living room level are comfortable and nicely appointed. The kitchen was well stocked. I do a lot of cooking for my husband's allergies. The central stove island was real nice to use. The top floor had the bedroom and the lovely bathroom. I loved the walk-in huge tiled shower! The bathroom was beautiful. We had a lovely time there. Everything was spotlessly clean. The clean hardwood floors were good for my husband's allergies. We went to the Pittsburgh Holiday Pops concert, the Phipps Conservatory, the International Classrooms at the University, and other great museums in town. It's an easy walk to the fantastic National Aviary (try to get to that.) It was delightfully quiet for sleeping at night. Since we live on a farm, going to cities can often be too noisy for us but this property is set on the alley side of the main road, so it was great for sleeping. If we come back to Pittsburgh, we would definitely stay here again.
This has been our third stay at this property and we have difficultly going back to stay anywhere else - Elena and her family are incredibly gracious hosts!
This apartment is spacious, comfortable and beautifully well kept. It offers all the luxuries of home, a full kitchen and a gorgeous bathroom!
The only drawback to sharing our rave reviews is that this secret gem of an apartment won't stay secret for long!
We will definitely be going back!
It was a great weekend for me and my girlfriend in this apartment. The apartment is very clean and comforting the bathroom is huge and the rainfall shower head is great. We didn't drive at all since Uber is very cheap to use and can get you down to the stadium and surrounding parts in less than ten minutes. If I'm every in Pittsburgh again I will definitely stay here again.
Derelict pocket area in changing neighborhood. Not as dangerous as seems. Has steep, narrow steps from basement? to main floor and from main floor to bedroom/bathroom. Transition from bedroom to bathroom is a drop to top landing and up again, light not working to illuminate at night. Bathroom lovely. Bed hard and uncomfortable. Bedroom window can't be closed due to air conditioner support. Long bedroom curtains hang over electric heater presenting fire hazard with only one way out through basement. TV doesn't work all of the time and microwave oven only works with door open. cabinets and oven dirty.
No washcloths or dish cloths. Evaluation left for owner. Perhaps problems will be solved
Overall, my stay at this apartment could not have been better. It is a beautiful and unique unit that offered plenty of space and all the comforts of home - my favorite was the fully stocked kitchen! Incredibly clean and easy to settle into. Fantastic location within walking distance of plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, and parks. The owner offered incredible customer service and quickly responded to any questions - also provided extra space heaters for comfort!
I plan on renting this unit again for any return visits to Pittsburgh!

Are you starting the South Beach Diet? If you want to be successful on this popular weight loss program you need to fill your fridge with healthy Phase 1 foods. But there are also quite a few Phase 1 diet foods to avoid. Make sure you know what to eat and what to avoid to slim down and get healthy on the plan.

South Beach Diet Phase 1 Foods to Avoid

The South Beach Diet provides lists of foods for you to enjoy and some diet foods you need to avoid. The food lists are different during different parts of the diet. Each stage is called a "phase."

The hardest part of the weight loss program is Phase 1. But it is also the stage where you are most likely to lose the most weight - as long as you know which diet foods to eat and which diet foods to avoid.

You can view and download a complete list of Phase 1 Foods to see all allowed items. But you will need to remove several common foods from your kitchen, including carrots, cereals, and bread. These are foods that may increase your cravings for sweets, starch and sugar. I've listed some of the most popular South Beach Diet Phase 1 foods to avoid.

Popular Phase 1 Meat to Avoid

Fatty cuts of beef like brisket or prime rib

Beef jerky (unless you make your own without sugar)

Dark meat chicken and turkey

Duck

Honey-baked ham

Popular Phase 1 Vegetables to Avoid

Beets

Carrots

Corn

Green peas

White or sweet potatoes

Yams

Winter squash (other squashes are allowed)

Popular Phase 1 Starches to Avoid

Bread

Oatmeal

Cereal

Pasta

Rice

Popular Phase 1 Drinks to Avoid

Fruit juice

Whole milk and 2% milk

All alcoholic beverages

Powdered drink mixes containing sugar

Popular Phase 1 Sweets to Avoid

Fruit

Ice cream

Baked goods

Candy

Yogurt or frozen yogurt

How to Eat Only Phase 1 Diet Foods

If you're concerned that you won't be able to survive the first stage of the South Beach Diet, you're not alone. Many people find the list of phase 1 foods to be too restrictive. But if you want to make the diet work, there are a few ways to set yourself up for success.

Fill your pantry with your favorite Phase 1 diet food. Get the complete list, find the foods that make you most happy and fill your kitchen with those items.

Clean out your kitchen. Make sure all foods that are not allowed are thrown away. That means that you clean out your refrigerator and pantry and set up your kitchen for weight loss success.

Start the South Beach Diet exercise plan. You'll be less likely to crave the Phase 1 diet foods you can't eat if you fill your day with healthy activity that gets you away from the kitchen. The South Beach exercise program is specifically designed for beginners who want to burn calories and stay active.

I also strongly recommend that South Beach dieters get a copy of . You can find the book in your local library or purchase it online. The book is well written by Dr. Arthur Agatston and is easy to follow. It's a smart reference to keep on your bookshelf if you're serious about losing weight and keeping the pounds off for good.

Former Conversus execs kickstart first project
Two former Conversus Capital executives that launched a specialist advisory firm have laid the groundwork for their first project.
Carolon Capital, launched by Tim Smith and Roger Brooks in 2013, has announced its intention to launch a UCITS fund managed by US asset manager Red Rocks Capital that will invest in listed private equity vehicles.
The fund will have a remit to invest globally, but will be based in Dublin and will be marketed in Europe, mainly to institutional investors, large asset managers and wealth management firms, according to Brooks.
Brooks added: "The proposed UCITS fund will be a classic long-only equity fund in nature. The fund will not be levered and it will not use derivatives to enhance returns. The uniqueness of the fund is that it will be managed by the market's largest investment manager dedicated to listed private equity.
The Red Rocks Global Private Equity UCITS fund will be a sub-fund of Dublin-based corporate entity Carolon Investment Funds, making it an open-ended structure allowing for the possibility of other UCITS funds to be launched under the same umbrella. The UCITS fund will be Red Rocks' first foray into Europe, although it has previously invested in Europe.
Red Rocks, which specialises in listed private equity and other private asset investments, will drive the strategy of the fund, while Carolon would be responsible for the oversight of services supporting the fund and marketing and distribution, Brooks said.
Red Rocks' overall strategy could scale up to $5 billion, Brooks said. The firm already has about $1.5 billion in assets under management in the US, according to its website.
Conversus Capital was one of the listed private equity firms that became a casualty of the financial crisis. The listed fund of funds sold its portfolio, worth $1.4 billion, to HarbourVest Partners before winding down in 2012.

Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF) is a specialty retailer whose Hollister stores division sells a broad selection of premium apparel, accessories and personal care products aimed at consumers aged 14-18. Abercrombie competes primarily against brands from Aeropostale (NYSE:ARO), Gap (NYSE:GPS), American Eagle (NYSE:AEO) and Urban Outfitters (NYSE:URBN). The Hollister brand, which is marketed with reference to the laid-back lifestyle associated with Southern California, contributes nearly 29% to the $53 Trefis price estimate for Abercrombie & Fitch's stock.
Hollister lost significant market share during the recession. But given Abercrombie's aggressive marketing efforts and the improving U.S. economy, Hollister should do better in coming years. Below we explain why.Recession blues
Between 2007 and 2009, Hollister's market share among leading teen specialty apparel retailers fell by nearly 5%. During this period, revenue per square foot from Hollister stores decreased at an annual rate of 20%, while that of Aeropostale stores grew by 7% a year.
Two key factors driving Hollister's share decline during the recession were its high prices and lack of promotional discounting. Hollister's price points are about 50% higher than Aeropostale's. And while Hollister refrained from discounting and promotions in order to maintain its premium brand image, Aeropostale followed an aggressive promotional merchandising strategy, with two-for-one deals and other sale offers across its stores.
Creative marketing
Hollister's revenue per square foot increased from $350 in 2002 to $550 in 2006, an annual growth rate of nearly 12%. This success was largely due to A&F's creating marketing campaign. Abercrombie has concocted an elaborate pseudo-history around the brand, based on the adventures of the fictional John M. Hollister. (The character is an adventurous young American who travels through Asia and the South Pacific in the early 1920s before setting up Hollister Co. in California.)
The company also uses the "walking self-advertisement" technique. Customers promote the brand by wearing the clothes, most which are emblazoned with the Hollister name, logo, initials, and fictional date of establishment. These marketing strategies have helped Hollister connect with its target customers—youth from upper income families, a demographic where peer activity plays a key role in setting fashion trends.
As the recession wears off, we expect a revival in demand for Hollister clothing. The brand has a strong image and many customers who shifted to lower priced brands like American Eagle and Aeropostale can be expected to migrate back to Hollister.
We believe that Hollister's revenue per square foot, which languished around $320 in 2009, can surpass $400 by 2016, enabling it to regain some market share. You can modify our revenue per square foot forecast for Hollister stores to see its impact on our $53 price estimate for Abercrombie & Fitch's stock.

Beautiful fridge!

This fridge has great storage capacity. I really like the narrow shelf for things like lunchmeat/ deli cheese that would otherwise take a lot of space on shelf.

Overall A Nice Frig
By Book Girl
from Northfield, IL
About Me Avid Cook
There are a few quirky things about this frig. The left door doesn't stay open so getting groceries in feels like I'm a race. Can I get the food in before the door closes? Also, I have a lot of condensation on the inside and some days there is ice on the inside. When the motor is loud, I seem to have more condensation. Service is coming soon so I'm hoping this and the inside condensation problem will be resolved. It's a very pretty design.
Service has been good but I need to have them come out again due to moisture and ice on the inside of the frig. I bought a floor model.
I would consider more options

Extremely Satisfied
By Jennifer
from Woodridge, IL
Very happy with our new refrigerator. Since it is counter-depth, I was worried that I would miss the extra space, as it replaced a larger refrigerator. So far, we haven't felt that it is too small. Works perfectly.
Prompt delivery. Uneventful installation.

Carmen Osbahr (b. April 21) did not originally plan to become a puppeteer. Though she was interested more in the television medium, puppetry came into her life when she began working on several television shows in Mexico City for Televisa which included puppets. In 1985, she attended a Muppeteer Workshop in New York City that scouted out young talent for Sesame Street's Mexican co-production, Plaza Sésamo. Kermit Love asked Osbahr not only to work on Plaza Sésamo but also to train other puppeteers at the workshop.
From there, Osbahr got in touch with Jim Henson, and she began visiting the set of Sesame Street in the mid-1980s. Osbahr became an official Muppeteer in 1989. Her best-known character, Rosita, made her first appearance on Sesame Street in Season 23.
Osbahr has since performed in a variety of Muppet projects, including Bear in the Big Blue House and Dog City. She also performed Kiki in the TV series The Puzzle Place.
Osbahr also appears as Lily the Water Sprite in the full half-hour version of Johnny and the Sprites, which premiered in January 2007.
