Within minutes of the Supreme Court ruling overturning the District's gun ban, leaders of the National Rifle Association began work on legal challenges against gun restrictions in Chicago and San Francisco, while gun-control groups said the decision would only strengthen their efforts.

The Fix Is In
The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday overturned the record $2.5 billion in punitive damages that Exxon Mobil Corp had been ordered to pay for the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill off Alaska.
Although it took the company just under two days to bring in $2.5 billion in revenue during the first quarter of 2007 - the damages were reduced to 507.5 million.

RICH "Dickie" WHITE
Attorney Richard "Dickie" Scruggs, famous for winning billions of dollars from the big tobacco companies, has pleaded guilty to charges of trying to bribe a Mississippi judge, according to the Associated Press.
Scruggs and two other lawyers in his firm, including his son Zach, had been charged with conspiring to pay a state judge with $40,000 in cash in exchange for a favorable ruling in a case over disputed legal fees.
According to the indictment, Circuit Court Judge Henry Lackey cooperated with FBI agents to help document the bribery scheme. Lackey was presiding over a case in which Scruggs had been sued by another law firm for more than $26.5 million in attorneys fees related to Hurricane Katrina insurance claims.
An article in today's Wall Street Journal details how Scruggs, despite earning almost $1 billion from tobacco litigation, has tenaciously fought over sharing legal settlements with other law firms.

More than 400 real estate industry players have been indicted since March — including dozens over the last two days — in a Justice Department crackdown on incidents of mortgage fraud nationwide that have contributed to the country's housing crisis.
The FBI put the losses to homeowners and other borrowers who were victims in the schemes at over $1 billie.

Rich White - 25th hour
Hedge fund hustler Samuel Isreal III was thought to be dead by suicide after being convicted of conspiracy charges. Although his car was abandoned by a bridge with the words "suicide is painless", Isreal is yet to be found.
Prosecutors say he and two other men persuaded investors to put $450 million into the Stamford, Conn.-based company by announcing nonexistent profits and providing fake audits. Meanwhile, they made millions in commissions on trades that lost money for investors. The fund's collapse prompted calls for stricter oversight.
Isreal was due to report to federal prision by a 2:00p.m. - he was last seen 9a.m. at his girlfriends.

Many Men
John Marzulli of the Daily News reports ...
Mike Tyson chipped in $50,000 for a contract to kill members of a Brooklyn drug gang that murdered his bodyguard in 2000, a government witness testified Thursday.
A former member of the violent Cash Money Brothers gang said the ex-heavyweight champ and another thug, Muhammad Nur, who was also close with the victim, each contributed $50,000 to the bounty on the heads of CMB leaders Damion (World) Hardy and Edward (Taz) Cooke.
"Why would Mike Tyson put a hit out on Taz and World?" asked Assistant U.S. Attorney James Loonam.
"He was close friends with 'Homicide,'" replied witness Dwayne Meyers, referring to victim Darryl Baum by his nickname.
Tyson dedicated his 38-second whupping of heavyweight Lou Savarese in 2000 to Baum, who was shot dead two weeks earlier.
Baum was suspected of pumping nine bullets into 50 Cent a month before he was killed, and the rapper refers to him in the song "Many Men."
"'Cause he got hit like I got hit but he ain't f------ breathing," 50 Cent rapped.
The alleged contract was revealed at the trial of Abubakr Raheem, 48, a reputed associate of Hardy, who is charged with participating in two murders.
Hardy controlled the drug trade at the Lafayette Gardens housing project in Bedford Stuyvesant.
His claims to infamy are murder, mayhem and having once dated rap vixen Lil' Kim.
The gang's name was lifted from Wesley Snipes' drug crew in the film "New Jack City."
A good dude.

Acquitted!
R.KELLY HAS BEEN ACQUITTED FOLKS....apparently the man pissing on a 13 year old girl in the video does not have a mole on his back and Kells does....so he is therefore innocent and will not be put in jail for pissing on an underage girl...i guess his numerous relationships with underage girls doesnt make him suspect enough.....

David Altmejd
Standing in David Altmejd’s gothic-surreal show is like being in a forest of freakish giants from the dawn of time. Nine twelve-foot-tall colossi tower above you like oversize werewolves, rotting Wookiees, or sculptures of pharaohs from some sci-fi porn planet. It’s an Oedipal grove of powerful deteriorating fathers and beautiful but monstrous sons. These creatures have mirrored derrières, plump penises decorated as if by a jeweler, gashes in colorful torsos, dozens of hands holding giant testicles or crystalline daggers. One figure has a peacock encircling each thigh; two have twisting energy fields or stigmata sprouting from hands and heads.
Altmejd’s exhibition is a combination sideshow, intergalactic cyborg showroom, and kitsch emporium. It’s simultaneously hideous and beautiful—and transitional. He’s gone from integrating hairy decapitated wolfmanish figures into room-filling architectural-sculptural installations, complete with sprawling bases that were themselves surreal landscapes, to the figures alone.
The good part of this transition is that Altmejd is letting fly his ideas about growth, decay, polymorphous sexuality, handmade sculpture, autobiography, and scale. His use of craft, abstraction, and strange archaic materials like horsehair and mirrors connects him to excellent emerging artists like Sterling Ruby, Huma Bhabha, and Jessica Jackson Hutchins (who has a knockout exhibition at Derek Eller Gallery), as well as to the scratchy figures of Kiki Smith and Louise Bourgeois. None of these artists, including Altmejd, has a signature style; all are intentionally all over the place; when they fail they fail in garish ways.
Some of Altmejd’s sculptures look like cheesy displays from Planet Hollywood. Yet his work is so scrupulously handmade that you sense him discovering it as he goes along. Materials and processes seem to assert themselves. He’s the opposite of Takashi Murakami and Damien Hirst, artists who also create oversize figurative sculpture but who draw plans up, then job them out.
The bad news about Altmejd’s transition is that removing the figures from their fragmented environments, which overwhelmed the eye and seduced the mind, limits them. On their own now, they appear somewhat forlorn. That’s a significant problem, but it doesn’t mean there’s not a lot going on here. Altmejd, 33, who lives in New York and who represented his native Canada at the 2007 Venice Biennale, has said that he thinks of the body as “a little world” or “a total universe,” and that he wants his sculptures to strike one as “being alive and being able to develop … intelligence and generate meaning.” This echoes Walt Whitman’s “I contain multitudes” mania about the body and self. Altmejd is like some Dr. Frankenstein (whom he has called “the ultimate sculptor”) making beautiful monstrosities come to strange life. He claims “things look more alive when they’re growing on top of what’s dead.” As Hannah Arendt put it, “the process of decay is at the same time a process of crystallization.”
Here, decay turns into form that decays again. It’s possible to read the exhibition as a kind of Genesis narrative, going from pure energy to prehuman form to post-human being. The story begins with The Cave, a tall mirrored spike that looks like a bolt of energy from heaven, and progresses through figures that variously evoke Michelangelo’s Slaves, golem-shaped lymphatic systems or skeletons, and a blond creature in a state of dreaming or becoming. That last one turns into The Spiderman, the most typically human piece here—except that things shoot out of his forehead and chest. The Shepherd is overgrown with hair and holds his arm over his face; crystals grow from his feet and chest; a fantastic mirrored stairway coils around his body. This piece suggests that the best way through this transition is for Altmejd to merge the architectural and the figurative. Finally, in The Guide, the figure is all mirrored again, as if it were returning to the cosmos from which the original bolt came.
There’s another narrative going on in that progression as well. Altmejd has recapitulated the history of freestanding figurative sculpture, going from Neolithic monolith to standing Egyptian gods to archaic Greek sculptures to Michelangelo’s David to fragmented modernism. At a time when many artists are simply recombining Warhol and looking for clever ways to make cool art about commodification, it’s enriching to see Altmejd make art not just out of the art world but out of himself.

John F. Marshall spent decades teaching at business schools and watching his students parlay his lessons into fortunes on Wall Street. But when he and another professor reached for some of those riches themselves, events took a startling turn, the authorities say.
Dr. Marshall, a retired professor at St. John’s University and a fixture on the Wall Street lecture circuit, was accused by the Securities and Exchange Commission in March of passing inside information about a multibillion-dollar corporate takeover to a professor at Pace University. The Pace professor, Alan L. Tucker, made more than $1 million trading on the tips in 2007, according to the S.E.C. The Justice Department has filed criminal charges.
