National Research Council of the National Academies report advises against new national database of ballistic images

Washington, March 5, 2008 -- A national database containing images of ballistic markings from all new and imported guns sold in the U.S. should not be created at this time, says a new report from the National Research Council. Such a database has been proposed to help investigators link ballistics evidence -- cartridge cases or bullets found at crime scenes -- to a firearm and the location where it was originally sold. But given the practical limitations of current technology for generating and comparing images of ballistic markings, searches of such an extensive database would likely produce too many candidate "matches" to be helpful, the report says.

State high court shoots down S.F. handgun ban Thursday, April 10, 2008

The state Supreme Court dealt a final blow Wednesday to San Francisco's voter-approved ban on handguns, rejecting the city's appeal of a lower-court ruling that sharply limited the ability of localities to regulate firearms.

The court's unanimous order was a victory for the National Rifle Association, which sued on behalf of gun owners, advocates and dealers a day after the measure passed with 58 percent of the vote in November 2005. The initiative has never taken effect.

The ordinance, Proposition H, would have forbidden San Francisco residents to possess handguns, exempting only law enforcement officers and others who needed guns for professional purposes. It would have also prohibited the manufacture, sale or distribution of any type of firearms or ammunition in San Francisco.

Lower courts ruled that the measure interfered with a statewide system of gun regulation, which bars certain types of weapons and allows others. The rulings did not address the scope of the constitutional right to bear arms under the Second Amendment, the focus of a pending U.S. Supreme Court case involving a handgun ban in Washington, D.C.

The state courts recognized that "law-abiding citizens are part of the solution, not part of the problem of violent crime," said Chuck Michel, lawyer for the plaintiffs in the NRA suit. "The authority of local cities to over-regulate firearms is very limited."

The Downing Street Memo

The Downing Street Memo is actually a document containing meeting minutes transcribed during the British Prime Minister's meeting on 23 July 2002, eight months prior to the invasion of Iraq in March 2003.

The Sunday Times printed the text of this document on Sunday, 1 May 2005. Since then, several other leaked UK government documents have come to light.

Together they paint a picture of a President intent on invasion, and a loyal ally troubled both by how it could be justified and by what it would bring.

This site is intended as a resource for anyone who wants to understand the meaning and context of these documents as they relate to the Bush administration's case for war.

Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor.

Barack Obama: Fight the Smears

What you won't hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics that uses religion as a wedge, and patriotism as a bludgeon -- that sees our opponents not as competitors to challenge, but enemies to demonize. Because we may call ourselves Democrats and Republicans, but we are Americans first. We are always Americans first.

Is John McCain Mentally Fit To Be President?
by Erik Ose - 30 August 2008

In a breathtakingly puzzling move, John McCain showed terrible judgment by selecting first term Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate. Despite the spin that desperate Republicans immediately parroted, it wasn't a brilliant pick, or a game-changer. It was an amazingly bad choice.

Alaskans Speak (In A Frightened Whisper): Palin Is "Racist, Sexist, Vindictive, And Mean" by Charley James - 05 September 2008

"So Sambo beat the bitch!"

This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama's win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.

The McCain-Churian Candidate by Evan Palmer - 29 June 2008

There are any number of people who should not run for public office and at the top of most lists would be persons who have been compromised. John McCain would be such a person. While we commiserate over the somewhat murky circumstances of his imprisonment and his claims of mistreatment, we are also very leery about having a person who endured five and a half years of an alleged brutal captivity as a leader, especially a powerful one.

Obama and McCain Tax Proposals - Washington Post 9 Jun 2008

According to a new analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a joint project of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution, Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain are both proposing tax plans that would result in cuts for most American families. Obama's plan gives the biggest cuts to those who make the least, while McCain would give the largest cuts to the very wealthy. For the approximately 147,000 families that make up the top 0.1 percent of the income scale, the difference between the two plans is stark. While McCain offers a $269,364 tax cut, Obama would raise their taxes, on average, by $701,885 -- a difference of nearly $1 million.

McCain Would Rather Lose His Honor In Order To Win a Political Campaign by BarbinMD - Sun 27 Jul 2008

For someone who claims to hold the highest standards and has vowed repeatedly to carry out a "respectful" campaign, McCain has questioned Barack Obama's patriotism, his commitment to our troops serving overseas, and has even stooped to thinly veiled charges of sedition, and McCain is willing to distort and lie to do so. It's become clear that John McCain has made a conscious choice to throw his much vaunted honor under the bus.

New tools improve government transparency

03 March 2008

Agency web sites contain detailed reports on how taxpayer
funds are spent. These reports include the nuts and bolts
of agency finances such as debt collection, assets and
liabilities, and the "who, what, where, and when" of
federal payments.

Agencies issue summary versions of their Performance and
Accountability Reports (PARs). A traditional PAR contains
numerous details on agency finances and performance, but
often exceeds hundreds of pages. Under a pilot program
developed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), 15
major agencies have issued PAR highlights documents that
condense key results into a shorter, easier-to-read format.
(See Agency Performance Related Web Addresses.)

Other search tools and summary reports are available:

USASpending.gov has key information on federal payments.
Search by organization, locality, or by payment type.

Earmarks.gov shows earmark spending.

Expectmore.gov gets federal program performance by
program, program type, or agency.

Results.gov has summary report cards on agency performance.

You can help by sending comments on how to improve the
transparency and simplicity of government reports to statements@omb.eop.gov.

1906 Ground Motion Simulations

To better understand the distribution of shaking and damage
that accompanied the great 1906 earthquake, seismologists
have constructed new computer models to recreate the ground
motions.

The simulations show how ground moved on the two sides of
the San Andreas fault and how seismic waves radiated away
from the fault to produce the shaking.

The earthquake, which began 2 miles offshore from the City
of San Francisco, ultimately grew to cause shaking and
damage along more than 300 miles of the San Andreas Fault.

Museums and the Online Archive of California

Museums and the Online Archive of California Project (MOAC), investigates one of the most serious problems facing knowledge seekers everywhere, the geographic distribution and limited access to the collections of unique materials -- primary sources for research in all areas of our cultural heritage -- that are held in libraries, museums, and archives around the world. They propose to solve this problem by creating a prototype "virtual museum archive" that integrates standardized "finding aids" for museum and other special collections into a single source, thus providing access to collections held by archives, museums, and libraries throughout the state of California.
