The Newtown Police Department have released the details of the firearms used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. We had some idea about what guns were used pretty quickly after CNN's choppers started flying overhead, but no official word until recently. As expected, the press release reads like a [short] list of the most popular firearms in the United States. The PD also detailed where the guns were found. From the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services & Public Protection . . .
Seized inside the school:
#1. Bushmaster .223 caliber– model XM15-E2S rifle with high capacity 30 round magazine
#2. Glock 10 mm handgun
#3. Sig-Sauer P226 9mm handgun
Seized from suspect's car in parking lot:
#4. Izhmash Canta-12 12 gauge Shotgun (seized from car in parking lot)
I'm not entirely sure why the police felt the need to specifically point out that the rifle had a "high capacity" magazine when they didn't talk about magazine size for any other guns, but I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
The shotgun found in the trunk is actually a Saiga-12, but since the model name on the gun is spelled in Cyrillic characters it's listed incorrectly in the police report. And as the gun is listed as being found in the trunk, I think we can dismiss the wishful thinking that it was really the AR-15 that was found in the trunk.
Like I said, this is a list of some of the top-selling guns in the United States. Well, except the 10mm Glock (Glocks are popular, and Jeff Cooper might be pretty cool, but 10mm still isn't quite as popular as Glock's 9mm variants). In fact, I've owned a model of each of these firearms myself at some point in my life. As have millions of other law abiding Americans who have never committed a crime.
Which brings up an interesting constitutional issue. These guns are wildly popular. And, thanks to Heller's supreme court win, they appear to be untouchable as far as the judicial system is concerned. From an NRA piece:
What did the landmark Heller decision have to say about banning guns like the AR-15? Justice Scalia's opinion for the Court says that the Second Amendment "does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes, such as short-barreled shotguns." The Heller decision interpreted a 1939 Supreme Court case, United States v. Miller, as standing for the principle that the Second Amendment has historically protected guns "in common use at the time," rather than "dangerous and unusual weapons." While some scholars have disagreed with the court's reasoning, the court went on to suggest that bans on short shotguns, short rifles and machine guns are not unconstitutional because those guns are not among the type of "arms" protected by the Second Amendment right.
So, even if we wanted to ban the guns specifically used in this attack, the Supreme Court says it can't legally be done. And yet. . . .

They listed the AR-15 as having a high cap mag because many of the police officials in the CT have an agenda. Make no mistake about it. It was painfully obvious at the hearings that were had not to long ago.
That and the fact that the rebranding of 30rnd mags as "high capacity" seems to be working.
But if the Supreme Court says that it protects guns "in common use at the time," then the 30-round magazine is the most common for the most popular rifle. The 40, 60, and 100 round magazines are not.
We need to start defining these appropriately as:
7-round – New York Capacity
10-round – Brady Capacity
20-round – Maryland Capacity
30-round – Full Capacity or Normal Capacity
40-round – High Capacity
60-round – Double Capacity
100-round – Uber Capacity
I think 100-round magazines should be renamed "Schwarzenegger Capacity".
My thoughts exactly. Most of the .223 caliber firearms I've shot had standard 30-round mags. "High-capacity" indicates an above-normal status, which clearly doesn't fit the description.
100-round – Hollywood ( New York Capacity )
100-round – Mike Tyson Eat Your Children capacity
'Izhmash Canta-12 12 gauge Shotgun (seized from car in parking lot)'
…Canta 12? Somebody needs to read up on their Cyrillic alphabet…
I was LMFO too….
Americans and their silly letters and inability to articulate strings of consonants…..
I just hope it was a clerical error and not the lead investigator thinking to him/herself "Oh, that looks like a backwards N and half a T… Canta-12 it is! What, made in Russia? They speak English there, right?"
…I am probably giving him/her entirely too much credit…
Umm I actually like our letters and think that Russian stuff looks like chicken scratch.
I sure hope they ban that evil Canta-12! Who the heck needs one of those things anyway? I am glad my Saigas aren't being targeted.
This is the gun that "was used in the shooting" that was THEN found locked in the trunk of the car? And now they're saying it got out and killed after all?
Unless the cop that pulled that gun out of the trunk merely mimicked pulling a charging handle on the right side of the gun attached to the right side of the bolt, it wasn't an ARmalite 15
I had an argument with a coworker about this last week…she kept going on and on and I just couldn't help but facepalm. Pump action ARs are NOT A THING.
Actually pump action AR15s are a real thing, DPMS makes one:
Does Bushmaster?
Nobody saw that black helicopter hovering over the scene? The men in the black vans staging bodies and clues and forcing all the witnesses and first responders to go along with murdering all those kids? How about Lanza,s body being pulled out of the cold storage unit and kitted out and then left on scene?
Do I need to say sarcasm off?
WEAPONIZED LANGUAGE. 'Nuff said. It ain't ME that's the ignorant party here. I ACTUALLY PAID ATTENTION.
Hey, William, I think I recognize you from the Grassy Knoll at Area 51.
+1's for JWM and Ralph…. dunce cap for William.
I saw the video of the long gun being taken from the car. I'm no gunsmith (sad to say) but what they took out of that trunk didn't look like a shotgun to me. And the cop sure didn't handle it like a shotgun.
A Saga-12 wouldn't look like a normal shotgun to many people in this country, but that doesn't change the fact that it is a shotgun. It is a detachable-magazine fed shotgun built on the AK-47 design, and features the same controls (selector lever, right handed bolt charging handle). From a distance it would be difficult to distinguish from the AK, except for barrel diameter and the size of the magazine. For those who don't know anything about firearms, or aren't familiar with this particular model, it could easily be mistaken for a rifle.
No, he handled it like a Saiga-12, which handles like an AK.
Click on the Saiga-12 link in Nick's post. Does that look like what you saw in the video?
The Saiga 12 is a shotgun using the AK platform. The officer pulled the charging handle to remove the round in the chamber, clearing the weapon.
From what little we could see, it definitely looked like and was handled like a Saiga shotgun.
I love how conspiracy theorists base their 'evidence' on statements like "that doesn't look like what it's supposed to be to me". Brilliant folks, they is.
The Saiga shotgun is a magazine fed shotgun. My first impression when seeing the video was that it was a Saiga shotgun. What was racked out of the action looked too big to be anything but a shotgun shell.
That is a lot of hardware. This sick bastard was clearly set up for his own demented war. Was that an actual photo of the AR used or just one of the popular photos from the Internet? If he was carrying the handguns in a tactical vest, it would seem to show additional pre-meditation.
We still don't have the ammo story, or a timeline of shots fired to boots on scene. And by boots on the ground, I mean within firing distance of Lanza.
The cops said they found it in the car trunk. Not Lanza's trunk. That other guy they released. The one with a lengthy violent record. What was his name?
When cops can't keep their story straight, something is rotten. What happened to the two other men they were show pursuing? One was seen cuffed in the back of a cruiser. WHO WAS HE? WHAT'S THE STORY? Did he flash some ID?
What was his name?
The Cigarette Smoking Man.
One armed cigarette smoking man?
Played by actor WILLIAM B. Davis.
Coincedence? I think . . . . so.
christopher rodia is the alleged owner of the dark honda they show being hauled off on the flat bed. as for the bushmaster did the mom actually own one? and nbc news story said she had five guns and none they listed was a bushmaster
Keyser Soze?
Take a deep breath, get caught up on your medication regimen, and do some research on sites which are fact rather than conspiracy oriented.
There isn't any reason – not any good reason anyways – why the police could not publish a Prelimary Report. The known facts can be released, particularly the timeline. The withholding of those facts is suspicious.
Fair enough, A81, but look how you managed to express that without shouting or crazy talk.
Personally, I don't think it rises to the level of "suspicious" but I do think they're being overly reluctant with their disclosures and need to be pushed harder. Seems like investigators haven't learned any of the key lessons about how to manage the public side of an incident like this, i.e. aggressive openness and transparency.
The simple reason is that there's no real reason for them to. Early, unfinished findings could be inaccurate and a million pages of hard evidence complete with a POV video shot by the killer isn't going to convince people like William of anything.
It's reasonable to assume antigun forces are going yo use situations like this to their advantage, and it's reasonable to accuse them of such. It's unreasonable to say that this event was the work of a massive government conspiracy, and it's indicative of severely stunted critical thinking skills.
That might be easier said than done. Seems nobody is releasing the "facts", with all the mixed reports that have been printed since this tragedy happened.
I believe he was identified as a student's father. Who just happened to be at his kid's school at 9:30… Wearing camo… Running from the cops…
You just confused at least two people from the scene. Odd, though, how there were several people near a school in a thickly settled area, and that the police detained some of them when said school was shot up.
The truth is out there, and we need brilliant people like you to find it.
Dude, ever heard of the Fog of War? Applies here, although in this case, it's the Fog of Rushing to Publish.
Yeah Hillary Clinton mentions "Fog of War" all the time…when she's lying and covering her ass.
Believe I've heard Obama and/or his mouthpiece Carney tout that line some too. Always means some bullshit is being swept under the rug.
It means that eye-witnesses suck. It can be used as an excuse, but saying that it's merely a cop-out for politicians is verifiably wrong.
Nick, my only criticism is, please just show a standard Bushmaster, not some tricked out AR. We don't need anymore ammo for the antis!
I'm no expert, but that looks like a standard carbine-length AR to me.
Maybe the picture was changed.
It was, thanks Nick!
Ok, so – 3 guns, 3 different calibers, magazines I would presume for each. Thats quite a loadout. I am trying to get a mental picture of what this guy looked like with all that gear. If he had it all on a belt, he would not fit in the drivers side of the car – but if not – did he gear up on site? Shotgun in trunk would suggest at least he arrived, popped the trunk to get rifle? I shoot 3gun matches and rifle/pistol together is quite a lot to manage – its that 3rd gun/ammo that just makes it difficult to picture – Not a conspiracy theory or anything, just, well….wow.
How'dhe, you're thinking like a rational man. You and I are at a great disadvantage when we try to get into the mind of creatures like Lanza. He was on a 1 way mission and he kitted up accordingly. And the pictures I saw of him showed him to be slight of build. There's no way I could get my fat ass into my Camry with all that hanging off me. But I'm old and fat and not nearly as limber as I once was. Lanza didn't suffer from those drawbacks.
And he may simply have driven to the school and kitted up quickly out of the trunk.
The Court's decision in Heller, as printed here, is circular reasoning. If the guns are prohibited and highly restricted they are not likely to be in common use, therefore they can be prohibited and/or restricted.
This reasoning also precludes any evolution or progress in the types of firearms that can be expected to become "common in use".
Yep. Heller is fine, and much better than if the case had come out the other way, but it is not the magic bullet by any stretch. The holding and its protections are limited in ways that should give gun owners pause before the rely on them too heavily.
Of course, if one of the Heller five go down and Obama has an anti-2A Senate to work with we can kiss even Heller's limited protections good-bye.
I've wondered about the circularity (is that a word?) of that argument, as well. I guess the question would be "were fully automatic weapons 'common in use' prior to 1986?"
Obviously I know they'd be in more common use today if the registry hadn't been closed in '86, but if you could magically transport the Heller decision to a month before the Hughes Amendment was passed, would they have even met that standard then? I have no idea. I was 10.
You would probably want to look at 1934 and the original NFA and see what the status of full auto weapons was then.
Arguably, if they were sufficiently popular and used for lawful purposes then their highly restrictive regulation may have been unconstitutional.
That said, the Heller decision gives little comfort that the Court would go that far. Of course, it is just dicta, so who knows.
Also, from reading the Heller case, they talked about "in common use" in regards to the military, as in, the military didn't use short barreled shotguns, so they weren't in common use. If that's the argument, then the 1986 ban is unconstitutional. If they want to talk about civilian use, then I'd argue the same, since cops are civilians (no matter how bad they don't want to be), then whatever law enforcement uses would be "in common use." Either way, it's time for the 1986 ban to go
Of course, Scalia also talks about how what civilians can own and technology may deviate and calls out the M-16 in context of something not protected (at least under the scope of the Heller decision). So who knows?
The whole opinion reads like he had to drag someone (Kennedy?) over to his side by avoiding writing anything too strident.
Yeah, but as that same piece pointed out, whoever won in 2012 would probably get to appoint several SCOTUS Justices, and last time I checked 2012 didn't work out so well for us.
Do they take the heavy NFA regulation into account when saying short-barreled anythings aren't in common use and therefore not protected? They major reason that I don't have a couple NFA items is because the thought of the NFA and ATF pisses me off.
Probably, the Court has said that long standing prohibitions/requirements are presumed valid. Under Heller's weird test this is potentially problematic for anything that has been restricted by the NFA, and possibly anything new and sufficiently different that comes down the pike and doesn't have time to really enter the civilian market before it is regulated.
The NFA of 1934 also known as the anti sub machine gun law restricted these type wepon's to semi automatic types. Mainly it was the 1921 Thompson at the center of it. You have to go back a few more years though to 1902 and the DICK ACT That states, any restriction's on the SecondAmendment are Unconstitutional. Yes the Heller Decision leaves way too much room for anti gun politician's to work with. The Second amendment as written and intended was to give the Citizen's the right to keep and bear arm's that are in 'regular use' by the Military so that in the possibility of a tyrannical Government to come into power the people would have the same capability as the Military. It also holds true for a "Civilian Militia as a 'backup' to the Military as a secondary National defense force. There is way too much Fodder in the Newtown Killing's for anti gun politician's to jump on and use to abuse We the People's Right's. I doubt if the truth will ever actually come out as to exactly what and where the weapons were found that were used by Lanza if indeed he was the actual perp. Yes a lot of crazed conspiricy theorist's to this as well.I just can't afford to jump on a plane or whatever and rush to the scene of every high profile event to try and find the actual truth. I do know the LMS used this incident to foster anti gun sentiment and the 'need for common sense gun laws'. Problem is Criminal's never obey laws and will find some way to perfrm their heinous act's. By disarming or limiting the arms that citizen's may possess to me is no where near common sense.
While it is easy to interpret Heller as encompassing AR-15s, as they are in common use, it may be instructive to read Eugene Volokh's analysis of gun control possibilities post-Heller/McDonald:
He articulates convincing reasons why an AWB might stand constitutional muster.
Yep. There is good reason to believe that our primary and maybe only defense against an AWB is legislative since the Court takes a much narrower view of the 2A than most of the folks at this site would prefer.
He articulates convincing reasons why an AWB might stand constitutional muster.
No, he doesn't. His reasoning is weak, IMHO. Don't get me wrong, I think Volokh is brilliant, but when it comes to "assault weapons" he got lazy.
His sole test for the constitutionality of "assault weapons" bans rests on the idea that there are other firearms which are functionally equivalent substitutes for AR/AK-class rifles:
Semiautomatic assault weapons are functionally virtually identical to other semiautomatics, and are as much arms as are other semiautomatics. But bans on such weapons don't substantially burden the right to keep and bear arms for self-defense, precisely because equally useful guns remain
Really? Show me another reliable, lightweight, 16-inch-barreled, magazine-fed, pistol-grip rifle upon which I can easily mount a flashlight and sights appropriate to my requirements.
Sorry, but Volokh screwed the pooch on the AWB issue. In this particular instance it's a good thing he's not a SCOTUS judge.
Really? Show me another reliable, lightweight, 16-inch-barreled, magazine-fed, pistol-grip rifle upon which I can easily mount a flashlight and sights appropriate to my requirements.
I think Volokh's argument is that the Court may not find this sufficiently meaningful to overcome the state's proffered "interest" in an AWB. The issue for the Court may not be whether AR-15s and the like are better, but do people have sufficient other tools available for self-defense that a restriction on AWBs would not overburden their right to self defense.
This isn't to say this view should control or is right, but <i.Heller and McDonald are compromise cases with areas of vulnerability.
Wow, the killer must have had a *really* long time in Sandy Hook because either he only had *1* 30-round magazine and had plenty of time to reload it from boxed/loose .223 rounds or the CT folks only decided to release the list for effect. You'd think that they could at lease be accurate about what they actually found at the scene…
That's a great point. Just like Nick pointed out the report doesn't mention the capacity of the pistols, it is equally important to know how many spares he had.
For the avoidance of doubt:
A careful reading of today's exercise in brevity by the CT State Police shows that they are only disclosing the weapons recovered at the crime scene, which of course includes any magazine affixed to the weapon when it was found.
The report is silent on the question of additional magazines for any of the firearms found, just as it is on spent brass, loose rounds, load-bearing vests, etc.
TL;DR version: just because they didn't mention any additional magazines doesn't mean that such magazines don't exist.
Well said, though this won't stop certain people from introducing that absence as evidence when another report suggests he had more than one magazine.
I can't recall if it was reported that he fired the handguns or not, but it sure sounded from several reports like he walked into a classroom with a group of kids cowering in the corner and shot into the tightly packed group. I don't know enough about ballistics, could he have done that much damage with a single 30 round magazine given that scenario? Would that agree with the single magazine reportely found?
See my comment above. They found one magazine in the AR15. The report is silent on additional magazines found at the crime scene — it only details the firearms recovered, not everything else left on the scene.
A quick search shows several news articles where they note more than one magazine.
"Lanza changed magazines frequently as he fired his way through the first-grade classrooms of Lauren Rousseau and Victoria Soto, sometimes shooting as few as 15 shots from a 30-round magazine, sources said.
More than a week after the shooting, investigators were still finding bullets under doors and in carpets and walls in the school as they tried to match the casings to the magazines.
Investigators are aware that frequent reloading is common in violent video games because an experienced player knows never to enter a new building or room without a full magazine so as not to risk running out of bullets. This has led them to speculate privately that this might be a reason that he replaced magazines frequently. "

Why was the AR reported by the first responders on day one as being found in the car and now being reported the school. the change didn't happen untill outside forces rewrote the story .
Actually the "rifle in the trunk" story was reported early in the day of the shooting, and was corrected before the day was out. CNN was running a timestamped update article, and I think the correction was made somewhere around 5 p.m.
If I recall the weapons used were stolen from his mother. Am I wrong or what and if I am right why I don't hear anything about stolen weapons?
You're not wrong. The skinny pr!ck tried to buy a gun but was refused. So he killed his mom and took hers. Or so it seems.
Didn't his Dad get killed a couple hours away too? I don't know of any 20 year old on drugs motivated enough to get up early to go kill anyone…. doesn't make sense…
You can't even be bothered to do a cursory skimming of the Wikipedia article on the matter or get basic facts straight (no one's father was killed), yet you're qualified to say what does or doesn't make sense?
I don't think you're qualified to flip a hamburger.
I'm talking about the initial reports, not subsequent coverup, I mean follow up….
That was part of the initial story, yes. It turned out not to be true, and if I recall correctly, his dad actually only found out later in the afternoon from the reporter that was waiting in his driveway when he got home.
So in your world initial reports can never be false?
Gotta ask – how many women buy Glock 20s for themselves? Doesn't it have the largest grip diameter of any Glock because of the length of the 10mm rounds?
This info was released weeks ago — it reveals nothing new. Still fooling you with the headline, too; it tells us nothing about what weapons were USED at/in Sandy Hook, only which weapons were SEIZED inside the school. I have yet to see a ballistics report detailing which weapon(s) was FIRED inside the school, or which weapon(s) caused the death of the victims. Everybody is still assuming it was the rifle that was used for the killings, but no evidence of that has been presented. We still haven't got the full story!
Never will… = staged
Ugh. Grotesque.
It. Doesn't. Flocking. Matter.
This guy didn't need an AR 15. He didn't need the handguns. He wasn't going up against armed foes, or even unarmed people his own size. He intentionally, specifically chose the most defenseless victims he could think of. A six shooter or two would likely have caused the same level of damage, and three times more ten round magazines in a friendly looking hunting rifle certainly would have.
This needs to be our dialog. Demanding to know what was used and how much only plays into the anti's game.
I remember the day of the shooting that the medical examiner said most of the injuries were caused by the rifle. That has been the consistent refrain and there is no reason to doubt it.
They released the "guns used" after enough people have been questioning the truth. Hoping we all just accept the "official story". IF it really had been an "assault rifle" we would have had images of Adam Lanza walking through the school blasting teachers and students. Pictures speak 1000 words and are very powerful in public opinion (that Obama desperately wants to influence). After all the school just had a brand new video security system installed. There was probably every network represented at the scene, yet they all used the same half dozen approved pictures.
President Obama couldn't keep a top secret special operation unit (SEAL Team 6) for more than a couple of hours. If they had pictures they could use to persuade those who are undecided in the gun debate, they would use them in a heartbeat.
For them NOT to use them speaks more to the truth than anything that has been said. The fact that no reporter on the scene was able to get any images of anything also speaks volumes. It isn't just our 2nd Amendment at risk here folks…. the 1st is also in question.
Was unapologeticlyidiotic taken?
People like you are a far greater hurdle for us to overcome than anti's. Your incoherent rabble makes the lot of us look like lunatics, and your truther propaganda pushes us ever further away from the actual truth.
I would call a 30 round mag a "standard" round magazine…pmag is the leader and the 30 is the most common by far. now a 100 round drum magazine is a "high capacity" mag
One of the problems is that standard capacity varies gun by gun. 15 for a G19, 17 for an FNS-9, and 20 or 30 for an AR. The anti dialog of 10 is much easier for laypersons to understand.
Yeah, people outside the gun community:
1. Get numbers more than functionality
2. Are more likely to buy into a "Why does anyone need more than X bullets" argument
3. Are unlikely to agree that civilians need to have as many rounds as police
This means we have our work cut out for us to educate people about why magazine limits are unlikely to do much good and are more likely to get good people hurt.
Unfortunately we will probably need to wait for the current madness to pass before most people are willing to listen.
This is true. I really wish the NRA did more to educate the general public.
So much for conspiracies. This ain't about faking a moon landing folks. We got real innocent victims here…. show some respect!
Nicely said Mike.
The Sig Sauer P226 9 mil. holds fifteen rounds. It would be outlawed under the "high capacity magazine" ban.
If we can limit the number of rounds in a firearm magazine, we can limit the number of pages in a Playboy magazine. The same utilitarian logic that allows infringing upon the first, allows infringing upon the second, so to speak.
Ha! They can have my playboys when they pull them from my warm, sticky hands!
Shouldn't we get to the bottom of the story – the Truth – then?
Brett, we do have the truth. You aren't looking for the truth, and you aren't asking questions. You're making assertions and seeking out kernels of perceived evidence that appear to support a narrative you created before the event happened. You have zero actual evidence to support your version of events, and if you actually believe that's how it happened you are terminally disconnected with reality.
It took two months to list 4 guns? And they still got one name wrong. There's a confidence-builder for you.
How about, first of all, we stop speculating and start paying attention to the victims families, they need our support, and flapping your gums about this is not doing that. But, while you are on it. Re-read that supreme court decision. It says Short Rifles. Most ARMALITE RIFLEs, or AR for the real name, are NOT Assault Rifles, they are defensive in nature unless in the hands of a moron on a mission. Eat some sand and you will know that. Most of you have never served, and do not have the knowledge to know what such a scene does to the mind. You were not in Iraq, you are not in Afghanistan, so back up off this rant and do your homework. Most of all, I didn't serve my country to see idiots with guns kill children, and I will be one Veteran that will stand with all my brothers and sisters to insure it will happen less and less. Dam the liberal media, they are more to blame than anything for heorising the perpetrators of these crimes. How about the media be told to highlight the suffering of the families and WE THE PEOPLE take back control of our government? I know what I am prepared to do if confronted, what are YOU prepared to do? I am not telling you to run out and buy a pistol or rifle, not unless you intend to become proficient in both range fire and situational awareness. In my 20 years, I handled thousands of small arms, I taught many troops, and not one of those firearms was EVER fired by itself, not one jumped off the rack and said, I'm gonna kill people. People kill people, and sometimes it is a required to preserve life. This 100% disabled, honorably served and retired Veteran is prepared to save YOUR life, again. What are YOU going to do for your fellow Americans. Dam the conversation on magazine capacity. You need ONE round to stop a single threat, and TWO for two. IF you are prepared. Are you?
Scalia says Heller "does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes, such as short-barreled shotguns."
The irony does not escape me.
SBRs and SBSs are not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens because of the red tap and the $200 stamp. Criminal, unencumbered by these, can do as they please. However, as the $200 is eaten away by inflation, I suspect more and more of us will go that route (yes, I've already put my money where my mouth is), thus making them "typically possessed" by common folks.
So according the the official report the AR only had one magazine, and there were no magazines for the pistols?
You apparently have not read any other comments here. Explanations and discussions are abound.
Now someone please explain why Adam Lanza's date of death is listed as 12/13/2012 in the Social Security Death Index.
Typo. Happens all the time.
Something bugs me that they found a Glock 10mm. That pistol just seems out of place amongst what was found.
From what I have heard the mother was a "prepper" convinced society was going to collapse. A 10mm could have been that first panic purchase when she felt she needed a gun "right now" or got a good deal on it.
Hmmm… well, since perceived oddities usually suggest massive government conspiracies I've got to say you're onto something here.
It still don't change the fact that MY GUNS have hurt no one in the 38 years plus that I've owned them
And if we lived in a rational world that would be enough; unfortunately we don't. We need to convince the middle ground that we, and our AR-15s, magazines, etc. aren't a threat (both because they aren't, and because we need their votes). Our advantage is that logically we are right, our disadvantage is that we don't get a fair hearing in the press and that people don't appreciate logic as much in the wake of tragedy.
We should start thinking about what the next step is in terms of winning hearts and minds.
Only one (1) 30 round "high capacity" magazine was found with the rifle?
According to the coroner the childeren were each shot between 3 and 11 times with .223 cal. rifle; a total of between 60- 220 rounds fired. Witnesses have reported hearing "…hundreds of shots fired" .
When did the shooter have time to reload the 30 round magazine ???
M. William: it doesn't say one (1) mag, that's your interpretation. At the most, you can blame Lt. Vance of not enumerating the number, or omtting the "s" in magazine. Anyone that has worked with law enforcement knows that, by and large, they aren't Pulitzer prize writers…
Another interpretation is that since the list is a list of weapons seized at the scene, it need not list the magazines that were also left behind since, by themselves, they are not weapons.
Nice distinction elnonio, thanks. Anyone who does a basic search of the incident knows that they reported recovering several 30 rnd mags, some half full (having them suspect FPS video gamer mentality).
"So, even if we wanted to ban the guns specifically used in this attack, the Supreme Court says it can't legally be done."
For now, select-fire weapons are water under the bridge, and not likely to be recovered because the precedent is now "long standing". But semi-autos?
I wouldn't be so sure. There are reasons (discussed above) that the Court may treat rifles differently from semi-auto pistols. Additionally, by the time an AWB case got to SCOTUS it might be a different looking SCOTUS that is less favorably disposed to the 2A.
Relying on the Court to save you is a high risk strategy. Much better to avoid the laws in the first place and work to improve the political climate to prevent such laws being proposed in the future.
Still waiting for ballistics results of what calibers were discharged inside the school and if they all match those weapons recovered.
Yes, and if they don't please make sure you follow up with the secret leaders behind this conspiracy on their foolish error.
What did the reports say about the number of Magazines found? This is important due to other stuff the police have said.
The report has been released, and there are like 20 other comments on this. In short, it's likely he used several magazines and apparently reloaded frequently.
Sandy Hook school incident …
Cs (crime scene : Sandy Hook + Lanza residence) and investigative information that should be publicly reported :
1) Forensic toxicology and medical history of the perpetrator.
2) Results of GSR (gun shot residue) test on the perpetrator.
3) Cs layout – bodies, weapons, spent shells, bullet holes, etc.
4) Sales receipts and custody chain of all items, before and after the incident –
guns, ammo, bullet proof vests, camo clothes, vehicle, etc.
5) Activities and movements prior to the incident.
6) Archived video surveillance of the cs area .
7) Phone calls (perp, school, neighbors, etc.).
8) Witness affidavits and depositions.
9) Police list of witnesses, related persons, and analysis of how the incident transpired.
10) Independent analysis and corroboration of facts.
Where is all of this information and continued investigative reporting ?
The schnooze media is missing in action as usual.
National political debate (opportunistic redirection) may have already prejudiced the police investigation and 'official' report.
The Second Amendment is not about "self defense" it is about the people's right to keep and bear arms 'common to the military' at the time. This gives the Secondamendment the ability to be current with what is commonly available and in use by Military forces. The anti gunner's want to make certain we cannot properly arm to protect ourselves from an over bearing Government such as what we have today
Did the police say how many AR-15 magazines they found in the school?
Beautifully said Kory. Just perfect!!!
more than 120 rounds were fired. nothing about where the empty clips were and how many. and how many of what size brass.

Haven't read anything yet concerning Sagara's family. Though you made excellent points, Sagara did mentioned he was ordinary and bland aside of his dodge ball dodging skills. Having a harem would be the better choice, though his harem consist of more than Loli.

True, but I think I rather have more developed women than Loli. Well that is my preference. Nobuna became my favorite Tsundere. Aigomorla you read the first fully translated chapter right? It was so entertaining to read.

She let the MC fondle her as a reward.
Im pretty sure she's tag'd by the MC.
Mistuhide is also not a loli.
Neither is Takeda.
Niwa was stated to have cried for the MC when he went to cover the rear flanks.
I really wish we could get more info on Niwa...
But i think it ends at friendship.

On Sagara's family, I think he did mention his mom once...
I don't remember when exactly (probably either for the mission to rescue Dousan in vol 1 or that thing at the end of vol 3), but he was doing a speech about how no one would miss him if he died to try to convince someone to let him to go on a suicide mission. He then edits that his mom would miss him, or something like that...
I can't remember the specifics anymore... I don't remember any other mentions either, but that doesn't mean much coming from me...

You CAN'T just say "aside the family factor", you need to count it in. And it's not comparable to a harem. We're talking about two different things.
And now that I think o it, have you guys read Pullman's "Golden Compass" series? There might be an issue like that in this series.

While I do encourage spread enthusiasm of Oda Nobuna no Yabou, lets not over do it. Right now it is fine, popularity is coming gradually since translations are coming thanks to Akuma and the anime which is doing well.
For now, lets discuss the Light Novel. What is everyone's impression off the first translated chapter? I really like it, its starts off fast and its interesting.

It must be the setting, but "Bad Ends" seem so much more emotionally compelling..
Bad Ending 2:
Saru arrives at Honnouji to see the temple in flames, he races into the building and finds Jubei on the second floor, lying on the ground covered in blood. She found out about a plot on Nobuna's life and arrived first, but realized too late that it was meant as a trap for Saru and Jubei by other retainers jealous of their rise. She screams at Saru to escape, but it's too late as they're both hit by numerous arrows. Saru can hear Nobuna scream his name from outside as Jubei dies in his arms. He can hear the fire rage and the footsteps of the culprits fleeing the burning temple. He manages to make it to a window and sees Nobuna about to charge into the building. He knows what he must do, he must keep her safe, and steels his resolve. His last memory is Nobuna screaming his name as he falls towards the ground..

You know guys, Lolis aren't too bad. While they have childish bodies, what really matters is what's on the inside(Troll). What actually matters is the potential curves they will achieve when they get older! And the earlier he earns their love the better the chance that they will stay with him when fully grown.

Just how much time does it usually take for a project to be approved on B-T?
I had rather have the new releases linked to B-T from Mangaupdates next time once it's on a proper sidebar so people have easier access.
Edit: As for the PDF for a single chapter, it could be done but I rekon it's better to have an entire volume PDF at the end.

I don't usually care for beef, and rarely order steaks in restaurants (and I hate rare gobs of meat with blood seeping out of them, which is how most chefs insist on serving their gushy sushi-like steaks). But years of restaurant reviews taught me that if the new Workshop Kitchen + Bar in Palm Springs' Uptown Design District could pull this steak off correctly, then they could pretty much do anything right.
Served on a large wooden cutting board, the thirty-ounce cut of rib eye was nearly big enough to feed an entire family. (Even after my friend and I filled our bellies with it, there were enough leftovers for two more meals at home!) Though the beef was grass-fed (which oftentimes translates as tougher), the meat was so tender you could nearly cut it with a fork. The true test of a good steak is if it can remain supple and dry simultaneously and cooked medium or more, and thankfully for a non-steak person like me, this piece of meat was devoid of bloody juices oozing out of it like the horror-movie version I'm used to being served. As I placed a bite in my mouth, I quickly realized it is worth every red cent of its hefty $77. The steak's robust outer seasoning underscored the meat's natural flavors rather than overwhelm them, and the mushroom conserva on the side was an ideal compliment.
In other words, they pulled it off, and pulled it off magnificently.
Workshop Restaurant + Bar finally opened in late September after many delays, mainly due to the months-long refurbishment of its unique space. And what a space it is. Constructed in 1926 at the high point of Spanish Colonial Revival Style architecture, the restaurant is housed in the back of the Class 1 Historic El Paseo Building on North Palm Canyon Drive at Tamarisk. Intimate two-person tables dot its front courtyard, festooned with vintage tile wall fountain. Inside, 27-foot cathedral-like ceilings soar above the diners, with the original painted wood beams visible. The structure's walls include 17-foot high barn-like windows high above. The unique space was home to the Palm Springs City Council in the 1940s, a movie theatre in the 1950s, various art galleries over the decades, and up until recently a showroom for Design Within Reach. The atmosphere is rich with good karmic history.
Peter Mahler, managing partner of El Paseo Holdings, carefully restored the building in 2007 in partnership with the L.A.-based architecture and design firm Rios Clementi Hale. For the Workshop renovation, New York City-based Soma Architects added a Modernist-style addition to the space that flows well with the original building's trusses and pillars. The interior design at first sounds out of step with Palm Springs: Urban Industrial Chic. But the Brutalist-like decor of black steel, monolithic cement frames towering over the tables, and monotone stone tableware (from Heath Ceramics) somehow works well within the historic edifice. Black leather booths lit by spotlights line the walls while a long communal cement table fills the center of the rectangular restaurant, fostering conservation with fellow diners. The whole place feels like Berlin landed smack dab in Palm Springs, but then quickly warmed up in the casual California desert.
On the weeknight I visited, Workshop had been barely opened for two weeks, but was packed to the gills. Everyone seemed elated to encounter this hidden eatery with its well-earned trendiness, like the city had hungered for it. Unlike most new restaurants, the waitstaff exuded a wealth of experience and easily handled the deluge of customers, and the almost overly-attentive service went off without a hitch.
Workshop's two owners are chef Michael Beckman and Joseph Mourani, who met in culinary school. Beckman, an English Lit grad who speaks four languages, brings his world travels to the America-meets-the-Continent menu. He studied at the Paul Bocuse Institute in Lyon and worked at the Ritz-Carlton in Berlin before becoming a private chef in Los Angeles. Co-owner Mourani began his career as a civil engineer in Montreal before apprenticing at Laperouse (Paris' oldest restaurant) and opening two much-heralded restaurants in newly-chic Beirut. If Workshop is as successful as it seems destined to be, the owners have a series of similar eateries in the works.
The owners worldliness shines through the offerings: Fries are cooked in duck fat and seasoned with sea salt and herbes de Provence, and the Hercules Ranch Burger consists partially of oxtail meat and includes truffle pecorino. My dinner companion Richard, who resided in Spain, for many years proclaimed the yellow-hued heirloom tomato gazpacho with marinière de legumes was the best he had every tasted. The menu changes frequently to keep up with the freshest local ingredients and includes a long list of what's in season. The kitchen has a wood-fired pizza oven and wood-fired meat grill, and the earthy, smoky flavors come through the dishes with glory. I hate wine lists that try to impress with quantity rather than quality, but Workshop's expertly targeted a selection up-and-coming (if pricey) artesian labels. And when I see a list of 1800s-era cocktails made with things like rye and brandy, it usually gives me pause, but their updated drinks were delicious and avoided knowing cleverness.
I'm all for food experimentation, but the unpleasant, jarring desserts - like cake soaked in olive oil, or panna cotta on a bed of arugula leaves – were a confounding note to end on compared to rest of the otherwise flawless Workshop experience. But no matter. The genuine well wishes and smiles on the staff's faces on my way out felt like leaving family, and even though Workshop's world-class caliber could lead to a too-cool-for-school attitude, the true warmth of the desert shined through the entire evening.
Workshop Restaurant + Bar is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, with brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. Reservations recommended – book at www.WorkshopPalmSprings.com or call (760) 459-3451.

JERUSALEM (Jun. 19)
Premier Menachem Begin confirmed today that President Reagan has invited him to visit Washington on July 27. He informed the Cabinet that he intends to accept and will reply affirmatively to Reagan tomorrow.
The Cabinet was briefed by Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir who said the American Administration believes there is still a chance to reach an agreement with Syria for the withdrawal of its forces from Lebanon.
The Cabinet approved the appointment of Yehuda Avner, Begin's advisor on Jewish affairs, to be Israel's next Ambassador to Britain. He will replace Shlomo Argov who was disabled in an assassination attempt in London in June, 1982.
A number of other appointments to the foreign service were approved. Begin dismissed a complaint by Communications Minister Mordechai Zipori that many of the appointees were previously identified with the Labor Party and could not be trusted to represent the views of Likud. Begin replied that overseas diplomats "represent the State, not Likud."

Drashti dhami in jhalak dikhlaja 6
The most adored 'girl next door ' of Indian television, Drashti Dhami aka Madhubala is burning the dance floor with her moves. Drashti and her choreographer Salman Yusuff Khan have managed to impress the Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 6 judges with their amazing performances. They are one of the toughest competitors in the show. Drashti and Salman always comes up with new and never seen dance style. Their performance have a different and a colorful element in it.
Drashti Dhami PerformancesDrashti is improving with each and every performance. Its really hard to manage two shows at a time but Drashti is doing a great job. Salman Yusuf Khan(Drashti's Choreo-Partner) is making Drashti to work really very hard for their performances. Judge Madhuri Dixit was mesmerized by Drashti's unique Afro dance which she did in previous episodes.
The theme for this week is Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustaani and everyone goes patriotic on the sets of Jhalak. Sources revealed that everyone's favourite Drashti Dhami will mesmerize everyone with her Bungy aerial performance on Maa Tujhe Salaam. She will showcase her love for her motherland and it is said that her performance will leave everyone completely speechless filling them with immense pride for their country.
Drashti Dhami and Salman Yusuf KhanThere were many rumours about Salman Yusuf's link-up with each of his celebrity partner and this time its Drashti Dhami. It was reported earlier that Drashti has parted ways from his long time boyfriend Neeraj Khemka inspite of a very close relationship. When asked Salman he says, "I am usually linked up with all my dance partners. Earlier, I was linked to Yana (Gupta) and Isha (Sharvani) in Jhalak's previous seasons, and now pops the name of Drashti. I think I am lucky to be around pretty girls. But everything is false as I am a professional who likes to work and go home."
He considers himself lucky to have a beautiful and talented Drashti Dhami as his celebrity partner. Drashti is the best student he could have ever asked for and that she is a stress buster for him. Drashti has a fire within her and she uses it to give her best.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
(2) Leave of court is not required for the taking of a deposition by plaintiff if the notice states that the person to be examined is about to go out of the state and will be unavailable for examination unless a deposition is taken before expiration of the 30-day period under subdivision (a). If a party shows that when served with notice under this subdivision that party was unable through the exercise of diligence to obtain counsel to represent the party at the taking of the deposition, the deposition may not be used against that party.
Here is a sample deposition notice that may help.
This is good. I have reviewed 1.301 and the link. What ı need now is to know whether there is a specific form or format to use when sending out a deposition?
Whoops! The case is in Federal Court and apparently Florida Civil Procedure Rules do not apply. Perhaps best you assemble all the information from me that you need in order to provide an informed opinion.
I am not sure whether you have closed this exchange out but if not I would like to follow up. The jury trial is going ahead on Sept 9. I will be acting pro se. How can I get myself up to speed on how this will pay out? I don't even know what to call the judge! Will I make a presentation to the jury? Do ı refer to trial ehxibits in the opening? As I am not represebted by counsel do I refer to myself in the first or third person when asking questions of the Defendant. Whe I've been asked questions by Defence counsel do I then question myself???? As you can see I haven't much of a clue as to what to expect, what Court procedured apply and how I can present my case to best advantage. Help!! Please!! Many thanks.
Could it make sense to get ''attorney assistance''and if so how do I go about it? I am not familiar with the workings of YouTube other than for music videos. How do I find what I need re:my pro se representation?
Lucy, an important witness of mine cannot attend the jury trial in person. Would he be permitted to participate by telephone?
That is entirely up to the judge. You can ask that he be allowed to testify by video or telephone. You can also subpeona him, and then he's in contempt of court if he does not appear (unless the issue is something like he's been deployed overseas in the military or is in the hospital due to an emergency).If he is out of state and therefore cannot be subpoenaed, you can also try to introduce deposition testimony given under oath, if you have it.
The witness is located in Utah. I would want to do this on a friendly basis so no subpoena. To get the permission of the Judge do I have to file a pleading or can I simply call his Chambers?
Also I have a witness in the UK. I have asked Defence counsel if they would accept a sworn statement from this witness and they have said they will object. Again is this a matter I can raise with the Judge?
Lucy, what is the amount of time allowed for a deposition under Federal Court Rules? So far 3 hours and 9 mins has been used up. Is there an immutable time limit?
3 of my witnesses are unable (for good reasons) to attend the jury trial on Sept 9. 1 has asked to participate by telephone (or video conference) and 2 by submitting statements sworn under oath. I have filed with the Court for relief in this matter. What is likely to be the Court's reaction. I would think that this is often asked of them but perhaps it is something they are reluctant to accept. I of the witnesses would need 3 days to travel to Tampa from London and back and participate at the trial.
Thanks Lucy. This is a more difficult one! I am 68 years old and have a blood pressure problem. I live in Istanbul and it will take a minimum of 14 hours flying and 17 hours traevlling to get to Tampa. I have already had to ask for a postponement once on Dr's orders. The Court was reluctant to postpone the trial with the Magistrate saying that lots of people have hypertension and it wasn't his problem that I lived in Istanbul!! Astonishingly, to me at least, Defence counsel subsequently obtained a reset trial date as his client had pre-planned a birthday bash for her husband and it would cause her great inconvenience and cost to attend the trial on the rescheduled date. Quite frankly, I don't think that I can gain a lot from the trial as the defendant is not collectible. Also I am acting as pro se plaintiff so the trial preparation and presentation of my case will be enormously tiring and stressful. Most importantly I can see my heart specialist telling me that I would be mad to undertake the trip. Furthermore my young wife is pregnant and her gyno is going to tell me that it is totally irresponsible of me to travel half way round the world (well almost) and be at least 24 hours travel time away. Quite a dilemma. I am the Plaintiff in this case but the Defendant has filed a counterclaim. If I can't go what are my options? I am absolutely convinced that the Court will not countenance a further postponement on medical grounds---and by the way if I can't go now my health problem is unlikely to improve which could mean that I will never be able to travel to the use--and I do not want to file a Notice of Dismissal as that may enable the Defendant to prevail with some pretty flimsy counterclaims. Nor do I want a frivolous and harrassing charge against me and defence costs flung in my face. With what you read here, what do you thing my options may be?
I have never heard that one before. In any case I have appreciated your help up until now and will rate accordingly. I will put the above question out there for a response. Many thanks.
I have opened a new question. I hope you willpick it up if you are so inclined. Many thanks.

Technology and offbeat science experiments are subjects that frequently draw interest in the world of social media. And after two consecutive weeks of focusing heavily on the tragedy in Haiti, social media returned last week to this familiar territory-even giving it precedence over the State of the Union Address.
The rollout of Apple's new iPad was the No. 1 topic on Twitter, generating 18% of the news links from January 25-29, according to the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. The iPad was also the fifth-biggest topic on blogs (7% of the links) in a week when the No. 1 story in the blogosphere (23%) was the BBC airing of the first-ever film shot entirely by chimpanzees.
President Obama's State of the Union Address, on the other hand, which led in the mainstream press last week according to PEJ's News Coverage Index, carried much less weight in social media. On Twitter it got less than half the attention as the iPad-ranking 5th at just 8%. And the speech did not even make it into the top five stories in the blogosphere.

Age 77 I felt bad all day long. Blood tests showed testosterone O.K. but "free testosterone" off the bottom of the scale. Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) way above the scale. Estriol at the top of the scale. 0.8 ml of 10% bio identical testosterone cream I feel normal, weight and strength as usual. Attempts to lower SHBG backfire, feel worse than ever. Weird that FDA says I must sign for testosterone but opioids are fine for people down to age 11?
Testosterone Supplementation in Older Men with Low Testosterone Levels?
Testosterone Supplementation in Older Men with Low Testosterone Levels?
- Anthony L. Komaroff, MD
Placebo-controlled studies suggest that such men generally don't benefit from treatment.
- Anthony L. Komaroff, MD
As men age, their blood testosterone levels generally decline, often to levels in the low or low-normal ranges specified by commercial laboratories. Testosterone supplementation is being prescribed increasingly for such men, some of whom report "aging-male symptoms." Although testosterone supplementation undoubtedly improves aging-male symptoms and sexual function in men who have overt primary or secondary hypogonadism, the value of supplementation in other men has not been established.
A multi-institutional team conducted a randomized trial of 308 men (age, ≥60) with low or low-normal total testosterone (100–400 ng/dL) or free testosterone (<50 pg/mL), irrespective of symptoms. Participants were treated with either testosterone gel (dose titrated to achieve blood levels of 500–900 ng/dL) or placebo gel for 3 years. Using validated instruments to measure quality of life and sexual function, the investigators found no clear improvement in the active-treatment group. Testosterone supplementation also did not significantly affect several biomarkers for cardiovascular risk: carotid intima-media thickness, coronary artery calcium, blood lipids, or glucose level. The study was not powered to assess risk for adverse cardiovascular events (NEJM JW Gen Med Sep 15 2015 and JAMA 2015; 314:570).
In another randomized trial, investigators examined testosterone supplementation in a more targeted group — 88 middle-aged Australian men (age range, 35–70) with type 2 diabetes, mild-to-moderate aging-male symptoms, erectile dysfunction, and total testosterone levels between 144 and 346 ng/dL; the men received parenteral testosterone therapy (testosterone undecanoate) or placebo for 40 weeks. Using validated assessment instruments, the investigators found no significant improvements in aging-male symptoms ("somatovegetative" symptoms such as well-being and muscle strength, psychological symptoms, and sexual symptoms such as sexual desire) or erectile function (NEJM JW Gen Med Nov 15 2014 and J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2014; 99:3821).
These studies, and most previous studies, show no clear improvement in "aging-male symptoms" or sexual function in men with low-normal or slightly low blood levels of total or free testosterone. Because other studies have suggested that testosterone supplementation in such men raises risk for adverse cardiovascular events, such therapy is not indicated in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic men.

What about old men with levels below 50 with loss of one testicle at age 12. How about body functions such as golf and tennis, and cardiac muscle function--sleep apnea, --all improved on test. Gel past 3 years.--at age 89 shot a77 in golf tournament recently!!

I have treated many older men with testosterone and they have benefited greatly in every area except ED, and testosterone peelts often benefits them enough to use Viagra or Cialis successfully. The success of treatment is always dose to achieve a young healthy level of testosterone, the delivery system that has the fewest side effects from conversion of testosterone to estradiol, estrone and DHT, as well as the management of other hormonal and nutritional deficiencies that increase in severity with age. My results are dramatic, with those men who have lost muscle mass have become frail asre able to leave their walkers and canes behind, Mobility and improvement in their thought process can change a man's future from a nursing home existence to a full life independently.
Ideally, starting testosterone is much more effective before these men have accumulated plaque and developed hypertension, but obvious improvement can be realized if the appropriate dose and testosterone as well as non-gel delivery system is used. I only use subcutaneous pellets because of the excellent outcomes they give my patients.
These studies don't specify whether estrogen levels were monitored or taken into account. It's easy to overlook the transformation of testosterone into estrogen and the possible implications. and complications. I'd like an explanation of this omission. from the authors.

The Tyranny Of The Market
By Lawrence E. Mitchell
Fueled by headlines about top managers such as Home Depot (HD ) CEO Robert Nardelli, who received stratospheric pay even as his company's stock price stalled, shareholder activists this year took aim at executive compensation. Unfortunately, they should not expect much from those efforts, even if every corporation in the U.S. adopts "say on pay"measures that allow shareholders to vote on pay deals. That's because such proposals treat only a symptom, not a cause, of a more dangerous trend within American capitalism.
The real culprit is the growing preeminence of finance over operations. It causes stock market considerations to trump those that improve the actual workings of a business. And the quicker the stock payoff can be engineered, the better. Until that changes, don't expect CEOs to stop gaming the system.
This reward bias toward finance has been with us since the creation of the giant public corporation in the late 19th century. Almost overnight, U.S. business was transformed from making money by controlling costs and increasing productive efficiency, the way John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie did, to reaping instant riches from stock sales--such as the $1.5 billion stock fee (in 2006 dollars) that the J.P Morgan (JPM ) syndicate earned in 1901 putting together the factories that created U.S. Steel (X ).
Today you see the consequence of this financial dominance. Ask the 400 CFOs who in a 2005 survey revealed a consensus opinion that they would mutilate their own companies to keep stock prices high. Ask the derivatives traders and hedge fund managers who control the direction of the market by trading in instruments that have nothing to do with financing the production of goods and services and everything to do with stock price movements. Ask the stock-trading public who in 2006 turned over share ownership on the New York Stock Exchange (NYX ) by 118% (almost 30% more than in 2000).
Meanwhile, CEOs figure that if their job is to make shareholders as rich as possible as quickly as possible--as opposed to managing companies to generate long-term profits--they should be paid like the investment bankers, money managers, and hedge fund czars who do the same.
That's worrisome, since an economy grounded in short-term, rapid-fire finance is an economy likely to self-destruct over the long haul. To avoid that fate, we must construct incentives to redirect both management behavior and executive compensation toward the long term.
If "say on pay" could change anyone's motivations, corporate boards would already have been shamed into rewriting the pay scale. The only solution is to make short-term behavior costly. And if finance is the driving force of American business, then we have to build the pain into the financial markets.
It's not hard, and in fact we do it now. If you own stock for one year, you receive a deep break in the form of the federal long-term capital-gains tax. Yet though a year may be long-term for stock trading, it's not for industrial production. And since management's horizons (and much of its pay) are determined by stock prices, tax breaks for such a brief holding period don't change managers' short-term focus.
That's why rethinking capital-gains taxation is key. Let's say experts decide that seven years is "long term" for the auto industry. Congress could structure a system imposing punitive taxes if you sell quickly (say, a tax on 90% of gains for trading within a month), then drop the taxes slowly, using a seven-year sliding scale, until you can sell a stock tax-free. Perhaps the right time period is two years in the software industry, or four years in computer hardware. It would only take a little expertise and perhaps some trial and error to get the timing right.
This revamped system would slow finance and allow managers to manage while lessening incentives for options-heavy CEOs to gut companies in order to end the year with a bigger payday. And it would reduce disincentives against spending on worker training, R&D, or better environmental controls.
True, there might be short-term market disruptions that cause real pain. But no pain, no gain. The markets would adapt to this new system; they always do. And, yes, finance would still dominate. That appears to be our destiny. But at least it would be in the service of business, rather than the other way around.

Supreme Court Roundup; Review Set for Evidence in Murder Trial's Penalty Phase
By LINDA GREENHOUSE
Published: April 26, 2005
The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to decide whether a convicted murderer has the right, during the penalty phase of the trial, to present evidence that casts doubt on the jury's finding of guilt in an effort to avoid a sentence of death.
The court accepted a death-penalty case from Oregon to answer a question that has divided the state and lower federal courts in the years since an ambiguous Supreme Court opinion addressed it in 1988. The state is appealing a ruling by the Oregon Supreme Court that gave a defendant the right to present evidence of an alibi that, if accepted in the penalty phase, would show that he could not have been at the scene of the double murder for which the jury had just convicted him.
The Supreme Court's precedents make clear that in a capital murder trial's penalty phase, which has many attributes of a separate trial, the defendant must be able to offer ''any aspect'' of his personal background or of the circumstances of the offense to show why a death sentence would be inappropriate.
The one exception has been evidence offered to demonstrate lingering doubt about the guilty verdict itself. In its 1988 decision, the Supreme Court held that a defendant did not have a constitutional right to have the judge instruct the jury that it should consider any ''residual'' doubt about guilt when deciding on a sentence.
But that decision, Franklin v. Lynaugh, did not address the more basic question of whether, aside from the eventual jury instructions, the defendant had the right to present such evidence to the jury in the first place. That question, which has confused the lower courts, is the issue the justices have now agreed to decide in Oregon v. Guzek, No. 04-928, the case they accepted on Monday.
The defendant, Randy Lee Guzek, was convicted in 1988 of murdering the aunt and uncle of his former girlfriend. He was sentenced to death, but the Oregon courts vacated his death sentence in 1990 and again in 1991, ordering new proceedings as the result of United States Supreme Court decisions in other death penalty cases. Each time, Mr. Guzek was re-sentenced to death.
In 2004, the Oregon Supreme Court once again overturned the death sentence, finding several errors. It ruled that in any subsequent hearing, Mr. Guzek should be permitted to present transcripts of statements from his mother and grandfather that were admitted during the guilt phase.
Taken together, the two statements provided an account of Mr. Guzek's whereabouts on the night of the murder that, if credited, made it highly unlikely that he had been at the murder scene. The state court's 3-to-2 decision held that Mr. Guzek had a right to present the evidence of his alibi under the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.
The issue in the case, which will not be argued until next fall, might have some bearing on the forthcoming death penalty hearing for Zacarias Moussaoui, who pleaded guilty last week to taking part in the conspiracy that led to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. While pleading guilty to a capital offense, Mr. Moussaoui announced his intention to contest the death penalty. Judge Leonie M. Brinkema of Federal District Court, who has presided over the case, said Friday that access to high-level Qaeda detainees could provide mitigating evidence for Mr. Moussaoui and would be ''highly relevant to the sentencing phase.'' Mr. Moussaoui has long claimed that these witnesses, to whom the government has denied him access, would exonerate him.
There were also these developments at the court on Monday.
Postal Negligence
The court agreed to resolve a dispute among the lower federal courts over the government's liability for negligent mail delivery. Under the Federal Tort Claims Act, the government is immune from liability for ''any claim arising out of the loss, miscarriage, or negligent transmission of letters or postal matter.'' The question in this case, Dolan v. United States Postal Service, No. 04-848, is the meaning of ''negligent transmission.''
The plaintiff, Barbara Dolan, fell and injured her back when she tripped over packages that a letter carrier had left on the porch of her home. The Federal District Court in Philadelphia, in a decision affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, dismissed her suit on the ground that ''transmission'' includes the actual delivery of the mail, which could thus not be the basis for a lawsuit. By contrast, the Second Circuit, in New York, has interpreted the phrase ''negligent transmission'' as limited to loss or damage to the mail while in transit.
P.O.W. Lawsuit
Without comment, the justices refused to hear an appeal brought on behalf of 17 American prisoners of war from the Persian Gulf war of 1991. Along with their families, the 17, who were tortured in Iraqi prisons, sued Iraq under a federal law that permits such suits against officials of governments that have been designated as state sponsors of terrorism.
In 2003, after Iraq failed to respond to the lawsuit, a federal judge in the District of Columbia, Richard W. Roberts, awarded the plaintiffs nearly $1 billion. The federal government opposed the judgment and the United States Court of Appeals here overturned it last June, dismissing the suit on the ground that the plaintiffs lacked a proper basis for invoking the law.
In their appeal, Acree v. Republic of Iraq, No. 04-820, the plaintiffs said the decision, ''if left uncorrected by this court, will pose a serious and potentially insurmountable obstacle for future victims of terror.'' But the solicitor general's office said a large monetary judgment against Iraq, now viewed as ''a state subject to our protection'' rather than an enemy, would ''hinder crucial foreign policy objectives.'' The government's brief added, ''After the new Iraqi regime has had time to become firmly established, the president may choose to espouse petitioners' claims through diplomatic means.''

I read the following in an 1891 newspaper published in Indiana, USA.
The soil and timber were grand. There was a distance of seven miles without a stick amiss, only as they were cut for coon. The timber was tall and good.
The question is: "coon" is for raccoon, but what meaning is the phrase, "as they were cut for coon"?


text: Previous numerical and experimental studies, assuming adiabatic airfoil and end wall surfaces, have shown that combustor hot streaks can cause significant temperature increases along the pressure surface of first-stage turbine rotors. In the current investigation, the combined effects of combustor hot streaks and airfoil heat transfer have been studied. The predicted results indicate that full-impingement of the hot streak on the first-stage stator results in low levels of heat transfer on the second-stage stator. Relatively high heat transfer on the first-stage rotor is localized to the leading edge and hub vortex and tip leakage flow regions. It is expected that alignment of the hot streak with the mid-passage of the first-stage stator would result in significant pressure-surface heat transfer on the first-stage rotor. These are the areas of the rotor which have been shown experimentally to endure the greatest thermal stresses.

The legendary style of the cowboy has been a staple in American folklore and culture since the late nineteenth century. Originally, the cowboy's hat was designed to protect eyes from the sun or serve as a pillow. His boots, with their sturdy leather and two-inch heels, were made specifically for the demands of his job. Although the authentic cowboy is a modern rarity, his unique style remains popular with men and women around the globe. However, today's wide variety of options, like cowboy hats and boots, can sometimes cause confusion if you want to create a cohesive look.
Like most shoes, your boots should be coordinated with your entire outfit. Black, a neutral color, matches well with blue jeans, as well as other cowboy accessories. Choose a boot that is constructed of leather and matches your overall look. If you plan to wear a brown leather hat, light-wash jeans and short-sleeve button-up or tee, wear unpolished boots that are made from aged or rustic leather. Black rustic leather, when paired with a broken-in cowboy hat, provides a casual cowboy look.
Like black, brown is a neutral color and matches a number of clothing options. If you are not interested in a rugged cowboy look, utilize brown to create a cohesive color palette. Wear a brown leather cowboy hat, button-down shirt, dark brown belt and brown, polished leather boots for a semi-casual look that's appropriate for dinner or drinks in the city. "American Cowboy" magazine recommends that men wear dressier boots for a night out, saying, "This is a good time to try alligator, emu, ostrich or less durable materials that can look more refined but aren't as rugged as leather."
Although many men stick to traditional brown or black boots, variations in color are often encouraged by the fashion-savvy. In the article, "How to Dress Like a Cowboy," GQ stylist Wayne Gross suggests that light leathers, such as caramel and cream, will offer an element of contrast to your look. Pair your cream-colored boots with a pair of dark-wash denim jeans and a brown leather cowboy hat for a modern, well-coordinated cowboy look.
Cowboy boots from the 1960's and 1970's are noted for their elaborate patterns and subdued colors. While these borderline-flamboyant boots may not appeal to all men, "American Cowboy" magazine notes that they often go well with modern trends. Pair these boots with light-wash, boot-cut jeans, your favorite button down shirt and a brown leather hat for an eclectic, but decidedly personal, cowboy style that is sure to make a lasting impression.
