[ 467 Pa. Page 381]
Alexander G. Sedmak died on January 16, 1974. Thereafter, Letters of Administration were granted to one of his brothers, Milano Sedmak. In pursuance of his duties, the Administrator discovered among the decedent's papers, a handwritten document addressed to him.*fn1 At the request of counsel for appellant, the writing was submitted to the Register of Wills of Montgomery County for probate. The writing so offered reads as follows:
"My Brother Mil Oct. 6-72
Please see that Zella Portenar receives $5000 from my Savings account it is in the Western Saving Bank [sic]
George A. Sedmak
or Alexander Sedmak"
The matter was certified to the Orphans' Court Division, Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County, under Section 907 of the Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code [Act of June 30, 1972, P.L. 508, No. 164, § 2, 20 P.S. § 907, eff. July 1, 1972]. This is an appeal from the Orphans' Court's final decree, dated May 21, 1975, refusing to admit to probate this document, which all parties agree was written and signed by the decedent.*fn2
Appellant, Zella Portenar, urges that the court below erred in concluding that the submitted document, together with extrinsic evidence made part of the record, evidences no more than an intent to make an actual, presently effective gift. After a careful review of the record,
[ 467 Pa. Page 382]
we are of the opinion that the facts of this case warrant the reversal of the decree of the court below, based upon our conclusion that the document in question, under the circumstances, demonstrates testamentary intent.
The record reveals that the decedent and appellant were very close friends for over forty years. At one time, the two contemplated marriage but appellant decided against such a union because the decedent was given to the vice of gambling. Decedent was a painting contractor. Appellant worked until retirement as a bookkeeper. Every Sunday and on family holidays, the decedent came to dinner at appellant and her sister's home. He was in fact expected to dinner the Sunday night he died.
Three separate savings account books were entered into evidence, each in the sole name of the appellant, Zella Portenar, and each marked "Special Account".*fn3 In addition, the appellant's will, made out in 1969, was marked as an exhibit. One of the provisions in that will recites that the entire savings in those three accounts belong to the decedent. Appellant testified that over the years, she was entrusted with a certain portion of the decedent's earnings from each of his painting jobs, and as part of this "forced savings" plan, to ensure decedent's financial security in his old age, she or her sister deposited the funds in these interest-bearing accounts.*fn4 The appellant's sister testified to the same effect. The monies saved were always acknowledged to belong to the decedent and he gratefully acquiesced in these arrangements.
[ 467 Pa. Page 383]
From the evidence offered by appellant, it was established that one of these accounts was with the Western Savings Bank and further, that as of October 6, 1972, this account held $6,774.05.*fn5 The decedent on that date had no account in his own name with that Bank. Additionally, appellant and her sister both testified that the deposit books for these accounts were at all times kept in a safe deposit box in the name of the two sisters jointly.
The testimony further established that over the latter months of decedent's life, appellant increasingly expressed her fear that if she died first, her 1969 will might not be legally sufficient to avoid decedent's having to pay inheritance tax on his own money and for that reason, it might be prudent to transfer the monies in these three accounts to decedent's name. On February 14, 1973, decedent and appellant went to the three banks and closed out the accounts. The Western Savings Bank account held $6,814.89 on that date. A $5,000 savings certificate was purchased in the name of decedent and a personal savings account was opened with a deposit of $1,814.89.
It should also be noted that the date appearing on the document offered for probate, October 6, is appellant's birth date. Lastly, the record establishes that Zella Portenar was unaware of the existence of the writing in question until after decedent's death.
The following are well-settled principles established by our case law which the lower court properly recognized:
"A writing need not assume any particular form or be couched in language technically appropriate to its testamentary character to take effect as a will or a codicil. If the instrument is in writing and signed
[ 467 Pa. Page 384]
by the decedent at the end thereof and is an otherwise legal declaration of his intention which he wills to be performed after his death, it must be given effect as a will or codicil, as the case may be: see Zell's Estate, 329 Pa. 312, at page 314, 198 A. 76, and cases there collected."
Hengen Estate, 337 Pa. 547, 549, 12 A.2d 119, 120 (1940). Furthermore,
"Where a writing by its terms clearly constitutes a testamentary disposition, evidence of a contrary intent is inadmissible: Lillibridge's Estate, 221 Pa. 5, 69 A. 1121; Gibson's Estate, 128 Pa. Super. 44, 193 A. 302. Conversely, where a writing is obviously not a will, evidence of testamentary intent is not admissible. McCune's Estate, 265 Pa. 523, 109 A. 156; O'Conner's Estate, 273 Pa. 391, 117 A. 61. Where, however, such intent is doubtful or equivocal, extrinsic evidence is admissible: O'Conner's Estate, supra; Smith's Estate, 308 Pa. 265, 162 A. 214; McKean Estate, 159 Pa. Super. 409, 48 A.2d 74."
Thompson Will, 375 Pa. 193, 197, 100 A.2d 69, 71 (1953).
The court below correctly determined that the writing offered was indeed ambiguous in that on its face it disposes of ascertained property to an identifiable recipient yet it is not couched in language such as to relate it to the event or circumstance of decedent's death. Therefore, it was appropriate for the lower court to look at the extrinsic evidence offered to determine whether or not the decedent wrote these directions to his brother Mil with the intention that the gift of $5,000 be given Ms. Portenar in the event that he predeceased her.*fn6
[ 467 Pa. Page 385]
The court's final decree refusing to admit the holographic paper to probate relied upon our case law gleaning testamentary intent from an informal document,
(1) reciting phrases such as "when I die," "In case of my death . . ." ". . . immediately upon my death, . . ." or "If anything happens to me . . ." [ See Thompson Will, 375 Pa. 193, 100 A.2d 69 (1953); Wenz's Estate, 345 Pa. 393, 29 A.2d 13 (1942); Zell's Estate, 329 Pa. 312, 198 A. 76 (1938); Kling Estate, 12 Pa.D.C.2d 588 (1956)]; or,
(2) one written at a time when the scrivener was either seriously ill or knew of imminent death [ See Kauffman Will, 365 Pa. 555, 76 A.2d 414 (1950); McKean Estate, 159 Pa. Super. 409, 48 A.2d 74 (1946)]; or,
(3) an informal document found in a certain location that in and of itself clearly suggests that the scrivener desired its discovery only after death [ See Hengen's Estate, 337 Pa. 547, 12 A.2d 119 (1940); Tozer v. Jackson, 164 Pa. 373, 30 A. 400 (1894); McKean Estate, supra ].
Often, any combination of the above or a situation involving all three facts has led the courts to a finding that at the time of the writing, the scrivener was contemplating the event of death. Nevertheless, a valid holographic will can be found where the extrinsic evidence otherwise supports the conclusion that the writer
[ 467 Pa. Page 386]
intended that the paper should take effect only after death.
The extrinsic evidence presented in the instant case, when viewed in conjunction with the writing itself, supports the conclusion that the decedent was contemplating the possibility of his predeceasing appellant at the time that he wrote out the holographic paper in question. As of October 6, 1972, the decedent knew that he had no funds in his own name at the Western Savings Bank. He knew in fact that his earnings were held in the name of the very person designated in the writing to receive $5,000. Why did he not simply tell Ms. Portenar to withdraw that amount of money for herself if indeed his intention was to give her a very generous present on the occasion of her birthday? Why did he write out the instructions to a third party, his brother, who had no present authority or ability to carry out the directions and then keep the document with his other papers, unless it was for the purpose of informing a member of his family of the testamentary wish? See Hengen's Estate, supra, wherein this Court quoted with approval from the case of Cock v. Cooke, P.Rep. 1 Prob. and Div. 241:
"The expression, 'I wish my sister to have [my Schering (Charing) Cross bank book for her own use],' appears . . . to imply, 'I wish her to have after my death', because when she wrote those words she was dangerously ill and did not expect to live, and if she had merely wished to make her sister a present she would not have taken the trouble to write anything at all, but would simply have handed the bank book over to her."
337 Pa. at 550, 12 A.2d at 120 (Emphasis added).
Furthermore, the long and close relationship existent between the decedent and appellant, one in which decedent regularly courted Ms. Portenar for over forty years, sharing holiday occasions and weekly Sunday dinners up
[ 467 Pa. Page 387]
until the time of his death, is consistent with a finding of testamentary intent. Although the decedent was extremely secretive about his financial affairs with all of his associates including his blood-relations, his demonstrated confidence and trust in Ms. Portenar, who set up and maintained in her name a savings program to ensure his future financial security, was amply reflected in the record. [ See Thompson Will, 375 Pa. 193, 198, 100 A.2d 69, 72 (1953), wherein this Court recognized as one factor the close relationship between the decedent and his niece, the appellee, in answering the question of whether or not the decedent intended that an informal letter addressed to her be testamentary.]
Lastly, we find the lower court's holding that this writing was intended as an inter vivos gift difficult to reconcile with the uncontradicted extrinsic evidence presented concerning the purpose behind the decedent's savings program. Why would the decedent give Ms. Portenar a sum exceeding one-third of his accumulated savings put aside to ensure his financial security for the latter part of his life at a time when indeed he was reaching that very stage?
We conclude that Alexander Sedmak, in writing the October 6 holographic paper, intended a testamentary gift to be given Ms. Portenar only in the event that he predeceased her. Accordingly, the decree of the court below is reversed and the matter remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
Both parties to bear own costs.

Most Frequently Asked Questions On Memory Foam:
The density of a memory foam doesn't tell you that much about a particular memory foam. All it can tell you for sure is the weight of a cube of that foam that is one foot in each dimension. So a 4 lb memory foam is one in which a one foot cube of this foam will weigh 4 lbs, a 5 lb memory foam's cube weighs 5 lbs, etc.
But a memory foam's density doesn't tell you how the foam actually feels in terms of softness/firmness, how warm it sleeps (related to how open the memory foam's cells are), the conforming feel and quality of that foam, etc.
These comfort qualities of a memory foam can vary tremendously based on that memory foam's recipe, so that one 4 lb memory foam has a very different feel and comfort than another.
That is why reading reviews is something I recommend, and while I know you need to be somewhat skeptical of reviews since they can be faked, they do give you a way to see how a particular memory foam products works for folks actually using it in their own homes.
In my experience testing memory foam mattresses, the quality of the memory foam did make a huge difference in how it rated and the latest generation memory foam we tested got much higher marks for comfort and sleep quality (including almost no issues with sleeping hot due to the much more open cell structure of this memory foam).
So in my experience, not all memory foams are created equal, and to arm yourself with information when buying memory foam I've created an in-depth Memory Foam Buyer's Guide so you can make sure to get the best possible memory foam mattress or topper pad for you.
A typical memory foam mattress is made of layers of different foams -- the simplest has a 5" - 6" "core" of more traditional foam (standard polyurethane) that is the firm, supportive portion of the mattress (uses this instead of innersprings) with a layer of memory foam (2" - 4" or so usually) on top of this to provide a soft, conforming feel to the mattress.
But the quality of these materials and sizes of these layers can vary tremendously, and you do pay more for a memory foam mattress that uses denser foams in it (which will last longer and typically be more comfortable, but since they use more material in them cost a fair amount more).
Most memory foam mattresses tend to go with a less expensive core foam since people don't really think about this or feel it much at first, but since this is the support layer of the mattress having a higher density core foam can make a big difference in the overall comfort and feel of the mattress and also its longevity. I recommend going with at least a 1.8 lb density core foam, and in the memory foam mattresses I've carried I've had 2.3 lb core foam at least.
Memory foam is a bit denser and again density costs more, so some memory foam mattresses go with 2 lb or 3 lb memory foam to keep costs down. And again these can feel ok at first, but don't last over time or provide the kind of sustained comfort of 4 lb or 5 lb memory foam. So look for these sort of denser memory foam layers when you are shopping for your memory foam mattress.
Gel foams are hyped as the latest, greatest thing in sleep technology. But they are not pure gel -- they are in fact memory foams with some gel beads or gel liquid in them.
And this gel makes the memory foam feel stiffer -- and to me, is a lot less comfortable than pure memory foam.
So why do people think gel foam is superior to pure memory foam? It is because gel foam is said to sleep cooler than memory foam.
And while sleeping hot on memory foam was something I heard about when I started over 20 years ago, I barely ever got a complaint over the last few years since we used a latest generation memory foam that had a much more open cell structure than standard memory foams.
This latest generation memory foam is more expensive than standard memory foams, but gives the best of both worlds in that it has the comfort of pure memory foam and doesn't sleep hot since the open cell structure provides much better airflow than standard memory foams (the manufacturer says 95% better airflow)
So I never used gel foams in our products since this latest generation memory foam had much better comfort and feel than gel foams, or customer ratings and reviews were really high (with 96% of reviewers saying they would recommend our mattress to a friend), and I had almost no complaints that the memory foam slept hot (literally, I could count them on one hand each year).

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,v.MARK V. INGRAM, DEFENDANT.
On November 30, 2005, Mark V. Ingram ("defendant" or "Ingram") waived indictment in the Eastern District of New York and pleaded guilty before Magistrate Judge Lindsay to a one count information under docket 05-CR-832 charging him with laundering funds represented to be narcotics proceeds in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1956(a)(3)(B). On the same date, he also entered guilty pleas before Judge Lindsay to Counts 4 and 16 of the Superseding Indictment returned in the Southern District of Florida charging him with bank fraud and money laundering in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1344 and 1957.*fn1 The Florida accusatory instrument bears the docket number 05-CR-834.
Following his guilty pleas, defendant, although represented by counsel,*fn2 filed the following pro se submissions:
(1) "Notice of Expressed Administrator Hearing," "Expressed Administrative Hearing," and "Affidavit of Fact in Support of Petition in the Nature of an Expressed Administrative Hearing," all dated in early May 2007, (2) "Notice of Political Default" dated May 28, 2007, and (3) "Affidavit of Negative Averment on Lack of Territorial Jurisdiction" dated October 24, 2007. None of those pro se motions was addressed on the merits by the Court given Ingram's then represented status and the absence of any claim that such representation was inadequate.
During a status conference on May 2, 2008, Mr. Ryan's application to be relieved as counsel was granted with the consent of Ingram. During that same Court appearance, Ingram indicated that he would like to proceed pro se with respect to his earlier filed motions but would accept an assignment of counsel should those motions be denied and he be required to proceed to sentence. After a fairly lengthy discussion, the Court granted defendant's application to proceed pro se, and a briefing schedule was established. The government's letter brief in opposition was timely filed on May 6, 2008, but defendant failed to submit a Reply by the date designated.
On May 28, 2008, defendant explained that he still wanted to submit a Reply and asked for additional time to do so. However, given, inter alia, that over two years had passed since the defendant had entered his guilty pleas and the seemingly spurious nature of his pro se submissions, his request was granted, but subject to the following conditions intended to prevent further delay, which conditions were fully explained to the defendant at that time:
1. Immediately following the Court's receipt of defendant's Reply, I would peruse all the submissions and decide the applications;
2. Upon doing so, the parties would be notified forthwith as to whether the defendant's motions were granted or denied, with the Court's reasons for that determination to be given via a bench decision on July 18, 2008; and
3. If defendant's motion was denied, both sides should be prepared to proceed to sentence on the July 18th date.
Defendant's Reply, entitled "Affidavit in the Nature of a Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction or, in the Alternative, to Allow Accused Discovery F. R. Cr. P 12(b)(3) pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 556(d)," was filed on June 11, 2008. On June 16, 2008, consistent with the procedure discussed on May 28, 2008, a Memorandum and Order was filed indicating that the Court rejected defendant's applications as devoid of merit, and reiterating that the reasons for that decision would be furnished on July 18, 2008 to be immediately followed by imposition of sentence. Again, consistent with the discussions on May 2 and May 28, 2008 an attorney, Ray L. Colon, Esq., was appointed to represent Ingram for purposes of sentence.
The July 18, 2008 date, however, as well as the adjourned date of August 8, 2008 have now passed without the Court having had the opportunity to provide the rationale for its June 16, 2008 decision denying the relief requested by defendant, and without the Court imposing sentencing. The first adjournment was necessitated by defense counsel being engaged in another trial, and the second because the defendant went to a hospital emergency room on the eve of his scheduled court appearance complaining of chest pains. Therefore, rather than delay matters further and while the reasons for my June 16, 2008 decision are fresh in my mind, those reasons will be provided in this opinion rather than orally immediately prior to the imposition of sentence.
Defendant's submissions are not a model of clarity. However, it is clear that defendant implicitly seeks the vacatur of his previously entered guilty pleas, coupled with an order dismissing the concomitant counts, as well as the other counts in the pending Florida indictment. In urging that result, he maintains that this Court lacks both in personam and subject matter jurisdiction. These claims will be discussed seriatim.
1. The Court has Jurisdiction Over the Defendant's Person At page 3 of the document entitled "Expressed
Administrative Hearing," defendant states:
Of course, under the separation of powers doctrine it is well established that I as head-of-state and the law making authority for the United States of America and our system of law. And my system of law, which is known as the private law/supreme law and that system of law, is only applicable to my fellow heads-of-state and me. Whereas the politically disconnected, public law can only apply to creatures for which this system of law was, is and will be created. When examining this alleged system of law for example, by calling itself Title 18/21 and finding absolutely no grant of authority for its application to anything. Especially in the private law, then I we am and are therefore absolutely immune by certified diplomatic status from any and all of its claims, demands, jeopardy's and penalties.*fn3
To the extent the above excerpt is meant to convey the notion that defendant is somehow insulated from the commands of federal criminal law, it is rejected. Nothing in that excerpt, or elsewhere in defendant's submissions, permits the conclusion that defendant, who was born "in the Republic of Illinois state, on the 23rd day of August 1965" and has resided in that state "until the present," is not subject to the laws of the United States. (Aff. of Fact in Supp. of Pet. in the Nature of Expressed Administrative Hr'g at 1.) See Khattab El v. United States Justice Dep't, Civ. A. No. 86-6863, 1988 WL 5117, at *1 (E.D. Pa. Jan. 22, 1988)("[P]laintiff affirms that he is a citizen of the United States. Assuming that to be true, unquestionably, plaintiff is subject to the laws of the United States."). And surely simple conclusory assertions that one is a "head-of-state" with "certified diplomatic status" does not make it so. See United States v. Kilgore, No. 07-4025, 2007 WL 4022840, at *1 (4th Cir. Nov. 15, 2007) ("To the extent that Kilgore argues . . . that he is a 'Foreign Nation (not a person) who rules autonomously and [is] not subject to any entity or jurisdiction anywhere,' his claim is patently meritless.").
In sum, defendant is subject to the jurisdiction of this Court.
2. The Court has Subject Matter Jurisdiction Over the Crimes to Which Defendant Pleaded Guilty on November 30, 2005*fn4
Subject matter jurisdiction refers to a "court's statutory or constitutional power to adjudicate the case." Steel Co. v. Citizens for Better Env't, 523 U.S. 83, 89 (1998).
Defendant maintains that this Court lacks the power to adjudicate the charges against him. As best I am able to glean from the moving papers, the bases for his position are that (a) the subject information and indictment are fundamentally flawed for failure to allege that the criminal conduct charged had an affect on interstate commerce, and (b) the charged crimes did not occur on federally owned land. Neither argument has merit.
(a) The Money Laundering and Bank Fraud
Counts are Properly Alleged
As noted earlier, defendant pled guilty under information 05-CR-832 to laundering funds represented to be narcotics proceeds in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1956(a)(3)(B), and to bank fraud and money laundering in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1344 and 1957 under indictment 05-CR-834.
Defendant maintains that "this indictment, under 18/or 21 U.S.C. violation fails to allege a [nexus] between accused conduct and interstate commerce [and, accordingly] this court must hold that a lack of commerce allegation in the indictment precludes it from considering whether a conviction under 18/or 21 three charges because if they stand, defendant's objections to the remaining charges - if such objections exist and that is unclear - are rendered academic for present purposes.
U.S.C. VIOLATION can be sustained." (Aff. of Fact in Supp. of Pet. in the Nature of an Expressed Administrative Hr'g at unnumbered p. 10.) In other words, defendant urges that this purported charging deficiency - viz. the absence of a claim that the alleged conduct affected interstate commerce - renders what has transpired thus far, including his guilty pleas, a nullity and requires that the charges be dismissed.
However, as correctly noted by the government:
The 18 U.S.C. § 1956(a)(3)(B) single count contained in the Eastern District of New York information alleged that the defendant "did knowingly and intentionally conduct and attempt to conduct financial transactions affecting interstate commerce." Similarly, the § 1957 count (Count Sixteen) in the Southern District of Florida Superseding Indictment alleged that the defendant "did knowingly engage in monetary transactions . . . in and affecting interstate commerce." As such, both of those counts specifically alleged an affect on interstate commerce. (Gov't's May 6, 2008 Letter Br. in Opp'n at 10.)
Such being the case, defendant's argument as to the two money laundering charges are rejected as being patently bogus.
Defendant's claim regarding the remaining charge to which he pleaded guilty, that being bank fraud in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1344, is similarly unavailing.
Count 4 of Indictment 05-CR-834 alleges that the Defendant defrauded two "federally insured financial institutions" by depositing "a stolen official First Union National Bank check [for $130,000], made payable to the defendant, into [his] bank account at Republic Bank in Weston, Florida." (Southern District of Florida Indictment 05-CR-834, ¶ 38.)
The fact that the bank fraud count does not allege an affect on interstate commerce is irrelevant. To prevail at trial, the government would be required to "prove that defendant '(1) engaged in a course of conduct designed to deceive a federally . . . insured financial institution into releasing property; and (2) possessed an intent to victimize the institution by exposing it to actual or potential loss.'" United States v. Crisci, 273 F.3d 235, 239-40 (2d Cir. 2001); see also 2A Kevin F. O'Malley, Jay E. Grenig and Hon. William C. Lee, Federal Jury Practice & Instructions, Criminal § 47.11 (5th ed. 2000)(listing the same essential elements of proof under § 1344 delineated in Crisci, but setting forth the requirement that the "financial institution was . . . then insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation" as a separate element). In sum, the government need not allege nor prove an affect on interstate commerce in prosecuting a Section 1344 case involving a federally insured financial institution. Clay v. United States, No. 97 C 751, 1997 WL 573402, *5 (N.D. Ill. Sept. 11, 1997)("Clay contends that this Court lacked jurisdiction over his case because his indictment did not allege that his criminal conduct had 'a substantial effect on interstate commerce.'. . . Clay misinterprets the jurisdictional requirements of the criminal statutes under which he was prosecuted. None of these statutes has an independent jurisdictional nexus element that must be alleged in addition to the criminal conduct itself. For example, the Government's allegations that Clay attempted to defraud a 'federally-insured financial institution' are sufficient to satisfy the jurisdictional requirements of the federal bank fraud statute.") (citing 18 U.S.C. § 1344).
(b) Federal Criminal Jurisdiction is not Limited to Geographic Areas "Owned" by the Federal Government
In defendant's "Affidavit of Fact in Support of Petition and the Nature of an Expressed Administrative Hearing" at unnumbered page 3, the following excerpt appears:
Affiant, states, in criminal prosecutions, where the federal government is a moving party. It must not only establish ownership of the property which the crime(s) allegedly occurred, but they must also produce documentation that the state has ceded the jurisdiction of that property to them. . . .
Not surprisingly, no convincing authority has been furnished for the remarkable proposition that unless the government owns the land upon which an alleged federal offense occurred, the offense is not prosecutable federally. Indeed, as defendant acknowledges, "[a]s [he is] a part of the United States of America, . . . [he] must conform to the law of the United States of America . . ." (Notice of Expressed Administrative Hearing at 3), assuming the presence of some legitimate predicate for the assertion of federal authority. Money laundering and bank fraud charges under §§ 1956(a)(3)(B), 1957 and 1344 clearly meet that standard. See United States v. Goodwin, 141 F.3d 394, 399 (2d Cir. 1997)("[M]oney laundering is not only a commercial activity, but it 'substantially affects interstate commerce.")(quoting United States v. Lopez, 514 U.S. 549, 560 (1995)); United States v. Koh, 199 F.3d 632, 638 (2d Cir. 1999)("Congress clearly intended to protect 'the financial integrity' of institutions in which it had a strong federal interest, including those that are 'federally created, controlled or insured.'").
In any event, defendant's federal "ownership" argument, as capsulized in the above quoted excerpt, is unsound and, therefore, rejected.
I have endeavored to specifically address each of the decipherable grounds urged in support of the relief requested except in those instances where the position advanced is obviously off target, such as the claim that "the acts of Congress . . . are applicable only in the District of Columbia." (Aff. of Fact in Supp. of Pet. in the Nature of an Expressed Administrative Hr'g at unnumbered p. 17.) And, with respect to defendant's assertion "that a law that has not been duly enacted into positive law is not a law of general applicability, and therefore, a person who does not comply with its provisions cannot be guilty of a crime" (id. at unnumbered p. 8), I find that argument to be unconvincing essentially for the reasons articulated by the government. (See Gov't's May 6, 2008 Letter Br. at 8-9.)
For the reasons indicated in this opinion, defendant's claim that this Court lacks jurisdiction over his person, and over the subject matter of the counts to which he has pled guilty, is rejected in toto.

BOSTON (AP) — Joseph Kennedy III is formally jumping into the race for the congressional seat now held by retiring U.S. Rep. Barney Frank.
A member of the campaign who requested anonymity so as not to preempt the candidate's announcement told The Associated Press that the Democrat is expected to make the announcement Thursday.
Kennedy, the son of former U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy II and a grandson of the late Robert F. Kennedy, recently moved from Cambridge to Brookline, part of the state's newly redrawn 4th Congressional District. The family has deep ties to the Boston suburb.
Kennedy announced last month he was forming an exploratory committee to look at a possible run for the seat. He isn't the only candidate in the race, though.
Republican Sean Bielat, who lost to Frank, a Democrat, in 2010, also has jumped into the contest. He made his announcement official in January.
"I think we started something last time," Bielat, a former U.S. Marine who lives in Norfolk, said at the time. "I think we made some big gains, but we didn't get the job done."
Republican Elizabeth Childs, of Brookline, a former state mental health commissioner under former Gov. Mitt Romney, has also announced her intention to run for the GOP nomination.
The Kennedy family has seen its influence in Washington fade in recent years as its younger generations have largely shunned public office.
The death of Massachusetts' U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy, Joseph Kennedy's great-uncle, in 2009 left a void for the family. The retirement of his son, Rhode Island's U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy last year marked the first time in 63 years that a Kennedy wasn't serving in elected office in Washington.
Joseph Kennedy III is a graduate of Stanford University, where he studied management science and engineering and was co-captain of the lacrosse team, and of Harvard Law School, where he served as technical editor of the Harvard Human Rights Journal. He served in the Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic from 2004 to 2006.
Kennedy has not held elective office, but he and his twin brother, Matt Kennedy, served as co-chairmen for Edward Kennedy's final re-election campaign in 2006.
Joseph Kennedy III has served as a prosecutor for the Cape and Islands district attorney's office and more recently as an assistant district attorney in the Middlesex district attorney's office, a job from which he resigned last month.
Last month, he also announced he's engaged to be married to Lauren Anne Birchfield, a fellow Harvard Law School graduate.
Other Democratic candidates in the district, which stretches from the Boston suburbs to Fall River, include Paul Heroux, an Attleboro businessman; and Herb Robinson, a software engineer from Newton.

A few years ago, a newspaper ran a regular feature in which famous people were asked what they knew now that they wished they'd known at 18. Imagining a different personal history is a good game, much better than choosing one's desert island discs. It's a self-centred version of pondering the great what-ifs of history - what if Chamberlain had appeased Hitler, or Lenin hadn't made it back to Moscow in 1917. What if you'd known that your mother cannot, whatever the agony aunt said in 1969, tell from your eyes that you've had sex?
We talk endlessly about how best to look after children - but we've never asked them what they want. Joanna Moorhead reports on a study that does just that
