Washington, D.C., city police are investigating whether NBC News' David Gregory broke the district's laws when he displayed what he said was a "magazine for ammunition that carries 30 bullets" on Sunday's edition of Meet the Press.
As we reported Monday, Gregory picked up and showed the magazine during his conversation with National Rifle Association CEO and Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre. Gregory asked LaPierre whether it's possible that mass shootings such as the one earlier this month in Newtown, Conn., could be prevented if such high capacity magazines were made illegal. LaPierre said such a ban would do no good because determined killers would find other ways to carry out such attacks.
After Meet the Press aired, some conservative bloggers asked whether Gregory had broken the law.
According to D.C.'s official code:
"No person in the District shall possess, sell, or transfer any large capacity ammunition feeding device regardless of whether the device is attached to a firearm. For the purposes of this subsection, the term 'large capacity ammunition feeding device' means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition. The term 'large capacity ammunition feeding device' shall not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition."
Now, as Politico and The Washington Post report, D.C. police confirm they are investigating.
Politico writes that:
" 'The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating this matter," said police officer and spokesman Araz Alali in an interview Tuesday. When pressed on what the police department was investigating, Alali added, 'The Meet the Press, David Gregory incident.
" 'There are D.C. code violations, D.C. code restrictions on guns, ammunition. We are investigating this matter. Beyond the scope of that, I can't comment any further,' he said."
NBC News hasn't yet commented.

Title: [Participant dancing in front of the bandstand at the Trips Festival]
Artist: Jack Dale
Date: July 29, 1966
Format: Photograph [slide]
Location: Collection of Rosemary Dyke
Size: 3.50 × 2.30 cm
More Information: Held in the Garden Auditorium of the Pacific National Exhibition grounds from July 29-31, 1966, the Trips Festival was a multimedia event spearheaded by Sam Perry, along with Ken Ryan, Al Hewitt, Mike Coutts, and Dallas Selman. The Festival was a multimedia sensorium of music, film, slides, and moving liquid utilizing over fifty projectors and 25,000 square feet of screen. Performers included Big Brother and the Holding Company (with Janis Joplin), the Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service, the Daily Flash, and poet Michael McClure. Perry's interest lay in such an environment's ability to transform a participant's consciousness. The addition of light and film projections to musical performance was an attempt to alter the traditional relationship between audience and entertainer, shifting the focus away from the individual performances to the collective production of new realities.

We are always proud to show off our previous customers experiences with you and what they thought of our purchasing through with Britannia Coins.
Easy to use website. Fast and easy checkout. And items dispatch next business day with tracking. Only thing is coins sometimes are not up to snuff and have marks or spots Etc. BCC does quality checks but can be improved.
5th January 2024
Very fast delivery, good comms and excellent value.
Very pleased with my purchase.
1st September 2023
You service was very efficient, delivered very fast, one I ordered the coin on Tuesday night it was delivered on Thursday morning
31st August 2023
Extremely efficient service. Purchases received within 1 or 2 days. Great bullion deals with highly competitive premiums. As a repeat customer I can't recommend highly enough.
30th August 2023
Buon giorno. Avete un negozio online ben fornito e di facile utilizzo. L'imballaggio del prodotto è stato ottimo. Ho solo un reclamo da fare ! Ho provato a chiamare presso op vostro negozio più volte senza avere nessuna risposta , ho usato anche il vostro contatto watzap ma anche in questo caso non ho avuto risposta. Vi ho contattato a luglio e agosto per sapere se erano previste le spese doganali,in fine ho acquistato senza sapere ....
29th August 2023
Very easy to use website I think you enter the website and there's the latest "live metal prices" with an "Enter Search Item" bar at the top of the page. I like the fact it has the search feature as the home page. When you search for the item(s) it quickly shows the results, along with images of the coins or coin sets. I like that, too. The only downside with these types of businesses, is that you can't get to see a close up image of the coin and/or coin set you are buying. I feel that, because this company buys coins from collectors, etc. that they will have several items that are the same, but in varying degrees of quality and condition, and then, when your buying a 2nd hand item, it's going to be a case of pot luck on what you're going to get. And so, if it was possible, I'd love for BCC to get images of each item that you're going to buy. This is so you know what you're getting before you buy it. That said, every item I've bought from BCC has been of a very nice quality. Two of the coins were of a staggering high quality and the two sets I bought were much better than the average coin sets from eBay. I would say that BCC are the best company in the UK when it comes to used and brand new coins and coin sets. Not only that, the speed at which they get your order processed and delivered to your door is very very fast. The packaging is also on point and highly professional. Also, and one of the most important things, I really trust the Britannia Coin Company. Their prices are very fair and their items are clean and in good condition. They also have a good standing within the coin community.
24th August 2023
Coins were of good quality
24th August 2023
Very happy with my purchase. Arrived promptly and in perfect condition.
24th August 2023
Easy to order and pay online. Next day delivery.
24th August 2023
I was amazed at the communication from when my order was initiated and being kept in the loop as to the progress. All transactions were good and amazed at how quick my parcel was shipped out and received the following day! Due to excellent customer service I have not hesitated recommending to others.

Until recent years, Americans were forced to hold the slice two-handed, you know, with the finger up under the point, or fold it in half like Spike Lee in "Do the Right Thing." Pizza Hut has never felt that was good enough, and they're trying for something better.
You may remember The Edge, a pizza with no outer crust. Or the Cheesy Bites Pizza, which replaces a crust with the ring of 28 pieces of cheese-filled dough.
INSKEEP: Now we can announce pizza sliders - pizza presented in cute hamburger-slider sizes. Each mini pizza is 3.5 inches across in packs of three for five bucks or nine for $10.
MONTAGNE: The Wall Street Journal writes: It's a way for the chain to compete with fast food restaurants like McDonald's. Pizza Hut's owner Yum Brands said yesterday its profit is in the fourth quarter dropped 5 percent.
And that's the business news on MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
INSKEEP: And I'm Steve Inskeep.

Type an IP and click Check
Location of 126.96.36.199
IP Geolocation Checker
IP Geolocation is a technique to lookup for visitor's geolocation information, such as country, region, city, ZIP code/postal code, latitude, longitude, domain, ISP, area code.
An IP geolocation tool is a service that allows you to determine the physical location of an IP address. It uses a combination of databases, algorithms, and network information to provide an estimate of the geographic location of an IP address. IP geolocation tools are commonly used by businesses, website owners, and law enforcement agencies to identify the source of online activity and target their services or enforcement efforts accordingly.
How to Use an IP Geolocation Tool:
Enter the IP address and and click the "Check" button to run the geolocation tool. The tool will use its database and algorithms to determine the geographic location of the IP address.
Review the results: The geolocation tool will provide a report that lists the estimated physical location of the IP address, including the city, state/province, and country. It may also provide additional information such as the Internet Service Provider (ISP), latitude and longitude coordinates, and time zone.
Use the information: Once you've located the IP address, you can use the information for a variety of purposes, such as targeting your services or content to specific geographic regions, identifying potential fraud or abuse, or enforcing online policies and regulations.

Brushing and Flossing
When you have braces, it's very important to brush and floss after every meal in order to keep your teeth and gums healthy throughout your orthodontic treatment. If you need help choosing the right toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss, please ask us and we can help you choose the right products for your teeth and your appliance.
Brushing with Braces
Brush your teeth for two minutes after every meal with a soft-bristled, small-headed toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. As an alternative, you can use a powered toothbrush to increase your brushing effectiveness. Brush the outside and inside surfaces of your teeth using small, gentle, circular motions while positioning the head of the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the gum line. Brush your teeth's chewing surfaces and the inside surface of your front teeth using short, gentle, back-and-forth motions, and make sure to pay close attention to the areas around your brackets or other appliances.
Flossing with Braces
Flossing after every meal will help keep your teeth and braces clean, which will also help keep your treatment time on track. To floss with braces, use a floss threader or special orthodontic floss to thread the floss behind each wire. Wrap the ends of the floss around your pointer fingers of both hands, leaving a few inches of taut floss between them. Gently slide the floss between each set of teeth using a back and forth motion. Floss the sides of each tooth beneath the gum line to remove plaque and food particles. Repeat this process until you've flossed all of your teeth. If you find that your floss is not removing all of the food particles between your teeth and around your braces, ask us about a water flosser!

iBuyers are a relatively new option when it comes to selling your home. They provide a quick option if you need to sell as soon as possible, but they are not the only option. There are still traditional local home buyers in Stockton, California that are financed and able to purchase your home. How does the iBuyer compare to a local Home Buyer in Stockton?
iBuyers are companies that buy and sell real estate through technologies. They felt the need to simplify and streamline the real estate transaction process, basically eliminating the real estate licensee. The iBuyers provide a platform to buy directly from homeowners and sell to buyers directly. These companies are looking for properties in very good condition with very minimal or no repairs to make. If the property does need repair, they will often offer less for the house, or require the seller to make the repairs themselves before closing. iBuyers are focused on higher volume and less profit per unit. As of right now, iBuyers are not active in all areas; they tend to focus on very active areas with property values around $250,000.
Selling Your Property Through An iBuyer
As a property owner, you need to know how an iBuyer compares to a local home buyer in Stockton, [markey_city] when you decide it's time to sell your property.
Through an iBuyers platform, property owners can request an offer from the company. The owner fills out information about the property and will disclose any known issues or recent upgrades. If the property meets the company's initial criteria, the platform then runs an evaluation on the subject property. The iBuyer will typically provide a cash offer within 24 – 48 hours of the request. After the owner accepts the offer, the iBuyer will usually send out an inspector to verify the status of the property. If any repairs need to be made, they will either request the seller to fix them or deduct the repair cost from the offer. When the repairs are settled, the owner then picks the close date.
Selling Your Property To A Local Home Buyer
A local home buyer in Stockton will generally be using a real estate agent. This means the local home buyer will be most likely to find your property through the multiple listing service, or MLS of the area. The buyer's agent would then present the offer contract to the selling agent, or seller directly if they are not using an agent. If the seller accepts the offer, the buyer will usually hire an inspector to make sure there are not any hidden surprises. If you're lucky, the buyer will purchase in all-cash; however, the typical home buyer will need financing which can take 30-90 days, depending on the lender. This point in the process is where some buyers are forced to withdraw their offer because of financing issues. If they make it past this point and the inspection comes back agreeable, then the closing occurs according to the contract.
Local home buyers that do not use real estate agents are usually investors. Working with these buyers will have aspects of iBuyers and buyers with real estate agents as well. They tend to make all-cash offers with quick acceptance time frames but have inspection tendencies like local home buyers that work with real estate agents. They will most likely hire an inspector and request a price reduction for repairs needed. Some investors may need some time to inspect the property or to secure financing. The cash local home buyers will tend to close quickly since they are not waiting for financing.

A blue sponge that I use once a week for cleaning Ed's bowl has been sitting on the edge of that sink for 12 years. The sponge changes every few years, usually when it starts falling apart. It's not used for anything else.
I'd noted it there when I took you in. Mary pulled me out for 5 minutes to take an ER call, and when I went back in it was gone. You were standing in the center of the room, zipping your purse closed. And the sponge had vanished.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but a search of the room didn't turn it up. So I took emergency measures, and brought a new one from home the next day.
I have no idea why anyone would want to steal a used sponge, especially from a doctor's office. I mean, it's nowhere near the kitchen, and since its sitting next to a fish net and bottle of Betta water prep I figure it's pretty obvious what it's for (sorry if I came back you before you could grab the net, too).
The sponge has been used to scrub off countless fish turds, the fuzzy goop that grows on the glass balls at the bottom during the summer months, and whatever other disgusting things are in Ed's water. I hope you aren't using it in your kitchen, or for personal hygiene.
I don't think you're so destitute as to be unable to afford one (they cost 25¢, FFS). I also hope you didn't mistake it for some kind of snack, and are now lying in ICU dying of some horrible fish shit poisoning.
Perhaps you're secretly planning on taking it to the state board of health, to see what they can culture out of it. If the plan is to get me in trouble with them, I doubt they'll care. I'm not preparing food or medicine in that sink, or washing anything. It's used solely for changing a fish once a week.
However, we know who you are. If you read this, and are currently overwrought with guilt from your life of crime, please confess at your next appointment. In exchange I will not press charges, but will gladly give you an unopened, clean, kitchen sponge, as I feel sorry that you must resort to such lawlessness.
Yours truly,
Ibee Grumpy, M.D.
p.s. I also have an extra fish net if you need one.

Playing With Fire In Korea
Why is the Obama administration creating obstacles and throwing cold water on talks with North Korea, and why is it binding itself to right-wing South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, whose politics just took a shellacking in the recent race for mayor of Seoul?
The answer seems to be a convergence of U.S. concerns over the growing power of China, a desperate battle by American arms manufacturers to fend off military budget cuts, and a fantasy by President Lee of a uniting the Korean Peninsula under the banner of the South.
Consider the following.
The day after Stephen Bosworth, U.S. special envoy on North Korea, described two days of talks in Geneva between the Americans and North Koreans as "very positive and generally constructive," U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta dismissed the possibility of a diplomatic breakthrough. "I guess the word skepticism would be in order at this time as to what may or may not happen in those discussions."
Panetta was in Seoul as part of a weeklong swing through Asia firming up U.S. alliances in the region. The Secretary not only blew off the talks, he threatened the use of atomic weapons. The U.S. he said "will insure a strong and effective nuclear umbrella over the ROK [Republic of Korea] so that Pyongyang never misjudges our will and capacity to respond decisively to nuclear aggression."
Unless it is raining, President Lee is a dangerous guy to whom to hand an umbrella. According to the Guardian (UK), a WikiLeaks cable from the U.S. Embassy says "Lee's more conservative advisors and supporters sees the current standoff as a genuine opportunity to push and further weaken the North, even if this might involve considerable brinkmanship."
According to Peter Lee in the Asia Times, "Lee's dream" is of "unifying the entire peninsula and its population of 75 million under the banner of the democratic, capitalist South in alliance with the United States, replacing Japan as the primary U.S. security and economic partner, and confronting China with the prospect of a major pro-western power on its doorstep while reaching out to the sizable Korean minority in China's northeastern provinces."
While at first glance Lee's "dream" would seem more poppy-induced than policy driven, South Korean -U.S. joint maneuvers have war gamed scenarios that envision a North Korean collapse and a subsequent intervention by Washington and Seoul.
In August of last year, an 11-day drill involving 56,000 South Koreans and 30,000 Americans—Ulchi Freedom Guardian— practiced exactly that.
According to the Korea Times, Gen. Walter Sharp, commander of U.S. forces in Korea, the exercise was aimed at responding "to various types of internal instability in North Korea," which is a rather different mission than the one that Panetta was talking about during his Seoul visit.
And the North is not the only target in these exercises.
During a visit to Italy in October, Panetta said, "We're concerned about China. The most important thing we can do is to project our force into the Pacific—to have our carriers there, to have our fleet there, to be able to make very clear to China that we are going to protect international rights to be able to move across the oceans freely."
Coincidently, naval forces, with their $5 billion aircraft carriers, numerous support vessels, submarines, and high tech aircraft are expensive, big-ticket items that arms companies are fighting to keep in the military budget.
The month before the Ulchi Freedom Guardian drill, the U.S. and South Korea carried out a major naval exercise in the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea that included the aircraft carrier George Washington Certainly China had no illusions about the objective of the war game. "In history, foreign invaders repeatedly took the Yellow Sea as an entrance to enter the heartland of Beijing and Tianjin," said Maj. Gen. Luo Yuan, deputy secretary general of the Academy of Military Science. "The drill area is only 500 kilometers away from Beijing," adding a metaphor from Mao that seems to lose something in the translation: "We will never allow others to keep snoring beside our bed."
It was the second time in less than a year that an American carrier had taken part in maneuvers in an area China considers a "military zone."
Panetta and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have continually put pre-conditions on any negotiations with the north, including ending Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program and accepting responsibility for the sinking of the South Korean warship Cheonan in September, 2010 that killed 46 sailors.
This past January when Kim Jong-il said Pyongyang was "ready to meet anyone anytime anywhere," U.S. State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said that before any talks, North Korea "needs to demonstrate its sincerity" by getting rid of its nuclear weapons and admitting to culpability in the Cheonan incident.
A delegation to North Korea aimed at easing tensions, featuring former president Jimmy Carter, former Finnish president Martti Ahtisaari, former Irish president Mary Robinson and ex-Norwegian prime minister Gro Harlem Brundtland, was ignored by Washington and dismissed by South Korean Foreign minister Kim Sung-Hwan as a "purely personal" trip.
According to Seoul, the Cheonan was sunk by a North Korean torpedo, but that conclusion is hardly a slam-dunk. The team of "international experts" that examined the evidence was handpicked by the South Korean military, and Russian and Chinese experts who examined the evidence are not convinced. Indeed, a poll commissioned by Seoul University's Institute for Peace and Unification Studies found that only 32.5 percent of South Koreans were confident in the findings.
North Korea is hardly going to unilaterally give up its nuclear weapons while its two major enemies are designing war games to "stabilize" Pyongyang in the advent of major unrest. The recent NATO bombing of Libya certainly caught the attention of the North Koreans, who essentially said that it would never have happened if the Gaddafi regime had not abandoned its efforts to develop nuclear weapons. Libya is "teaching the international community a grave lesson" an unnamed Foreign Ministry official told the Korean Central News, "The truth that one should have power to defend peace."
South Korean President Lee and the U.S. have put the onus for current standoff with North Korea on China. "I think China can do more to try to get North Korea to do the right thing," argued Panetta, while Lee said he hoped that "China will continue to play an important role in denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula and leading North Korea to reform and openness."
According to the New York Times, President Obama told Chinese President Hu Jintao that unless Beijing took a "harder line" toward North Korea, the U.S. would increase its buildup of military forces in Northeast Asia.
There is no question that Beijing has influence in Pyongyang—China is North Korea's main trading partner—but the theory that the Chinese can simply dictate to the North Koreans is a myth. In any case, since China is convinced that the U.S. military buildup in Asia is directed at them, not impoverished North Korea, why would Beijing expend political capital to aid potential adversaries?
The North Korean regime is an odd duck, with a system of succession more akin to the 12th century than the 21st, and a penchant for bombastic rhetoric. But is it a threat to other countries in the region? By the terms of a 1953 treaty, the U.S. would come to South Korea's defense if the North attacked, and the Pyongyang government is well aware of what would happen to it in a confrontation with the U.S.
If the U.S. is seriously interested in denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula, it should ratchet down its joint war games with South Korea and stop threatening to use nuclear weapons on China's doorstep. The U.S. may view North Korea's nukes as destabilizing, but it was not Pyongyang that introduced nuclear weapons into the region, but the Americans.
The six-party talks, which collapsed in April 2009, may or may not resolve the nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula, but they are the only game in town. Instead of throwing up roadblocks, and casting its lot with the increasingly unpopular South Korean president, the Obama administration should be pressing to reopen the discussions as a way to dampen tensions in the region and bring the North Koreans to the table.

Goma, a city on the eastern border of the Congo, has been a magnet for war refugees for nearly two decades. And in an expanding camp for displaced people, called Mugunga I, school principal Emmanuel Kibanja Miteso holds up a three-ring binder that reflects the history of war here.
The pages are a logbook for parent-teacher conferences. Every time fighting flares in the region, people flood into the displacement camps and the roster of names swells in the principal's binder.
Goma has seen its share of battles during the repeated convulsions in eastern Congo, but for the past decade or so it has often been seen as a relatively safe shelter from fighting.
But now Goma itself is a prize in the latest round of war.
The M23 rebels, a group made up of army defectors, launched an uprising last spring and have been advancing in eastern Congo against the weak Congolese army.
On Nov. 20, the M23 rebels came marching down from villages to the north and took over Goma. Ten days later, the rebels appeared to retreat under international pressure on the rebels and on neighboring Rwanda, which is widely believed to be the movement's biggest supporter.
Rebels In Hiding
But it seems M23 never really left Goma. The rebel fighters just changed into civilian clothes, went into hiding and remained in the town.
Many residents say the rebels are right here in the city. Fidel Bafilemba, a field researcher with the Enough Project, a Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group working to end crimes against humanity, has been tracking the movements of M23 through conversations with residents of Goma.
"We have even spoken to people who have been providing them food and water, things like that," he said. "The M23 is in town."
From the sunny balcony of his office, Bafilemba pointed out many neighboring houses where residents have fled, fearing another outbreak in fighting.
Meanwhile, the Congolese army is also back in Goma. This is the same army that last month tucked tail and ran when M23 moved in.
Now the army has taken up position on a hill just outside the Mugunga camp, with its thousands of tents of sticks and plastic sheeting. Some of the displaced people in this camp are here because they fled M23; others fled the Congolese army. They all came seeking safe ground. Now they find themselves between the positions of the two forces.
An elected leader in the camp, who asked not to be named because he's afraid of army commanders, said the camp is "right at the combat zone, with M23 on one side, the Congolese army on the other."
And, he added, Lake Kivu blocks the army's route of retreat from Goma.
Army Doesn't Inspire Confidence
Congo's army is not a comforting presence for the residents of the town.
Rape has been a recurring nightmare in the fighting, and Kahindo Immaculee, who is a sexual violence counselor in this camp, says the soldiers on the hill come into the camp at night.
On Dec. 17, she says, some women collecting firewood were ambushed by soldiers who selected the seven most attractive and sent the others home. The captive women were taken to the base and raped for three days.
Immaculee tried to get the women to stay for counseling, but they all collected their children and fled the camp. "We can't bear the life here," they told her.
United Nations forces still patrol this camp, but are seen as ineffective. They did not defend the city when the rebels arrived last month.
So all eyes are on M23 and the army. For almost two weeks now, no shots have been fired, but virtually no one expects it to stay this way.
Soldiers, Rebels Taking Supplies
Tariq Riebl, the humanitarian coordinator for Oxfam in Congo, says soldiers and rebels are stealing their water and other donated supplies.
"At what point does it become unsustainable?" he said. "You have so many armed groups from so many different factions. Is this just to push the political hand, the negotiations?"
Negotiations between M23 and the Congolese government in Uganda are supposed to come up with a power-sharing deal. But M23 insists on administrative control of Goma. The Congolese government refuses. And back at the camp, many people are looking to the United States.
Emmanuel Kibanja Miteso, the school principal, looks for signs of hope wherever he can find them. He says he heard last week that President Obama telephoned Rwandan President Paul Kagame and asked him to stop supporting M23. "I was really happy because M23 by themselves, they have no power to do anything."
Despite the violent history here, he's optimistic, he says, that it's only a matter of time before peace returns.
