Move to open Peterson autopsies is being termed damage control
Move to open Peterson autopsies is being termed damage control

Prosecutors in the Scott Peterson double-murder case changed course on release of the autopsy reports as a strategic move, not because the attorneys favor public scrutiny, legal specialists say.
"When you play the case in the media, both sides make pragmatic decisions," said Michael Vitiello, a professor of criminal law at the McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento. "This is not a legal question -- it's a pragmatic one."
The Stanislaus County district attorney's office decided Thursday to go to court to ask for the unsealing of the autopsy reports for Peterson's alleged victims, his wife, Laci, and their unborn son, Conner.
Previously, the district attorney's office argued against opening the reports, and arrest and search warrant documents in the case, and Superior Court orders are in place to keep all of the documents sealed.
Then a leak made it to cable television's MSNBC on Thursday morning: Conner's autopsy report indicated that he was found with plastic tape around his neck and a significant cut in his torso.
Within hours, the district attorney's office did an about-face and filed a motion to have both autopsy reports unsealed, with prosecutors saying they did so because the leak unfairly favored the defense camp.
"Partial news is worse than everything," said Stephen Lubet of the Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago. "Once there is a leak, there is a real possibility for rumor and distortion. Prosecutors realize that rampant speculation is worse than the release of accurate information."
Laci Peterson, 27 and pregnant, was reported missing Christmas Eve. Her 30-year-old husband told police that he went fishing that day on San Francisco Bay, and his wife was gone when he returned to their Modesto home.
National intrigue intensified when a Fresno woman revealed that she had had a relationship with Peterson before his pregnant wife was reported missing. The bodies of mother and child were recovered on the shore of the bay in mid-April, and Peterson's arrest came a few days later.
Historical precedent
Lubet is writing a book about the 1881 trial of Wyatt Earp, who was charged with murder after the famed shootout at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Ariz. In that case, a judge who initially favored closed proceedings reversed course after harmful information leaks, Lubet said.
"If there is going to be some information out there, you'd rather have it be accurate," Lubet said. His book is due out in early 2004.
Peter Tague, a criminal law professor at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., speculated that the autopsy reports in their entirety may work against Peterson.
"Prosecutors are now revealing this because they think that, on balance, (the reports) favor the prosecution's theory," said Tague, a former deputy public.......
Unsealing Laci's autopsy records is in public interest

It's encouraging to see the district attorney reverse course, taking The Bee's position that the autopsy reports on Laci and Conner Peterson should be publicly released.
Open judicial process calls for no less.
After some details of the sealed documents were leaked Thursday to the press, District Attorney Jim Brazelton scrambled to neutralize a perceived advantage to the defense.
"The information being leaked has clearly been skewed in favor of the defense so the People cannot see why the autopsy documents should not be released," the DA's office wrote in a court filing Thursday. A hearing on whether to unseal the records is scheduled for June 6.
We see no reason to keep the reports secret -- regardless of whom the leaks may help.
Justice is best supported by truth, not speculation. Full disclosure of the autopsy records would serve the public interest by replacing conjecture with facts.
As the DA's office wrote in Thursday's court filing, "By releasing the autopsy reports the court will allow the media to see what the actual facts are and then accurate information may be reported. "
Justice requires open government. Residents have a right to see the records in a case prosecuted in their name.
Foundation that aided family of slain Laci Peterson irks some

Associated Press Writer
MODESTO -- In some ways, this city is a home to the missing.
There were the tourists who vanished in nearby Yosemite National Park. There was federal intern Chandra Levy, a hometown girl who disappeared in the nation's capital. And now there's Laci Peterson, the smiling, pregnant substitute teacher who went missing just before Christmas.
You'll find their photos among more than 160 lesser-known faces at the Carole Sund/Carrington Memorial Reward Foundation, a small organization striving to help their families and the law.
But the foundation, which offers rewards to help solve crimes, is better known for being at the center of cases that don't even meet one of its basic criteria.
Neither Laci Peterson nor Chandra Levy's families needed money to post rewards. Yet, the foundation plunged into the cases, forming bonds that continue to this day.
On Tuesday, executive director Kim Petersen was in court with Laci Peterson's family. Later in the day, she attended the private burial of Levy, more than a year after her remains were discovered in a Washington, D.C., park.
The foundation was set up by the parents of Carole Sund, who vanished with her daughter and a friend during a visit to Yosemite in 1999.
During their ordeal, Francis and Carole Carrington realized other families struggling to find missing loved ones didn't benefit from the news coverage their case garnered.
With $200,000 earned in commercial real estate, the Carringtons created the fund for families who couldn't pay rewards to find missing loved ones who were innocent crime victims.
In four years, the foundation boasts offering $1.5 million in more than 160 cases nationwide. The payout has been much smaller. To date, 10 rewards totaling $65,500 have been awarded, roughly equivalent to Petersen's annual salary.
Tax records report $35,000 paid for rewards through June 2002. The foundation claims it has solved 19 cases and will pay remaining rewards upon convictions.
Only a fraction of cases have been solved, and it's hard to evaluate the effectiveness of the foundation, but the rewards have helped.
Of nine cases in Sacramento, rewards have led to arrests in two different cases.

Peterson Autopsies Sealed
A judge ruled Friday that an autopsy report on the deaths of Laci Peterson and her unborn son should remain sealed along with other search warrant and arrest records.
Superior Court Judge Al Girolami said releasing the information could hamper the murder investigation and prejudice public opinion before a trial begins.
Girolami is scheduled to hear more arguments June 6 from prosecutors preparing a murder case against Peterson's husband, Scott Peterson. Prosecutors on Thursday asked that the autopsy reports be released to the public. They argued that media leaks of the reports are biased toward the defense.
Girolami also ordered that leaks of sealed information stop and indicated he would consider a gag order to stop the prosecution and defense teams from talking to the media.

SHASTA COUNTY -- Shasta County sheriff's deputies have arrested a 42-year-old Anderson man suspected of stabbing a pregnant woman last week.
Mark Steven Ortiz was booked Thursday into Shasta County jail on suspicion of the attempted murder of 21-year-old Lindsay Wurch. Officials said the woman, about four to six months pregnant, was stabbed several times inside an Anderson residence May 22.
Lawyer: Family of Laci Peterson broke agreement on personal items
Lawyer: Family of Laci Peterson broke agreement on personal items The Associated Press
Last Updated 2:15 p.m. PDT Saturday, May 31, 2003
SACRAMENTO (AP) - Murder suspect Scott Peterson's attorney said Saturday that an agreement with the family of Peterson's slain wife to get personal items from the couple's Modesto home had been broken. On Friday, a group of family members and friends of Laci Peterson removed several personal articles from the single-story home. The group, which included Laci Peterson's brother Brent Rocha, drove off with a rocking chair and other belongings.
Lee Peterson, Scott Peterson's father, told CNN the defense team had wanted to videotape the house before items were removed and that lead lawyer Mark Geragos had not agreed to the removal of any items on Friday.
"I am not seeking their arrest," Geragos told The Associated Press. "We're going to try and resolve this through appropriate channels and not fight it out in the media."
A life as an attorney:
Defender of the rich and poor
When he's not arguing for a major company, high-powered S.F. lawyer takes on civil rights cases for Valley residents.
"When a Modesto police officer shot 11-year-old Alberto Sepulveda during a drug raid on his parent's house in September 2000, Gonzalez negotiated settlements of $3 million for the boy's family.
He also represented the boy's father, Moises Sepulveda, on a federal drug charge that could have landed him in prison. Sepulveda originally was charged with conspiracy to manufacture and distribute methamphetamine, but in a deal worked out with federal prosecutors he pleaded guilty to a marijuana charge. He was sentenced to three years of probation and fined $3,000. Gonzalez represented Sepulveda for free on the criminal charges.
"That case cried out for help," Gonzalez says.
He has pocketed no money in any of his civil rights cases in the Valley. Instead, his lawyer's cut from the successful lawsuits has gone to a special fund at Morrison & Foerster that helps finance other public interest cases involving poor clients.
Some Latinos know exactly who Gonzalez is and consider him the best, and arguably most successful, civil rights lawyer working in the Valley. Others know him only by reputation, his name escaping them, but not his million-dollar victories.
To a few, he is el gallo. That's rooster in Spanish. Latino rights activist Ben Benavidez of Fresno gave Gonzalez the nickname because of his confident, strutting style in court. One opposing lawyer remembers Gonzalez flapping his arms in a contentious trial. His voice sometimes rises to a high pitch as his words tumble out and intensity can well up in his dark eyes.
The smooth-faced Gonzalez appears younger than his years, and at 5-foot-10, 150 pounds, few would describe him as an imposing man. He exudes a detached casualness when not before judge and jury, and sometimes wears an Oakland Raiders jersey when questioning people in pretrial depositions.
One recent morning at the Raiders trial in Sacramento, as sterile hallways bustled with stone-faced lawyers in conservative suits, Gonzalez strolled along wearing a pair of wrap-around sunglasses and a Disney character tie ablaze with reds, oranges and yellows.
Gonzalez's impact in the Valley rests in the less colorful but important arena of public policy:
Dinuba, a northern Tulare County town of 18,500, formed a citizen's police advisory commission with power to investigate law enforcement wrongdoing after the shooting of Gallardo and the family's successful lawsuit. The city also trained its officers in neighborhood policing after the lawsuit.
Police raided Gallardo's home while serving a search warrant looking for a weapon reportedly used in Visalia during an attempted murder. Police did not find the weapon. Two officers -- one white, one Latino -- were accused of shooting Gallardo.
Ed Todd, Dinuba city manager, says: "You know, Arturo is a very astute person. One of the things he pointed out -- and I think we went after it in a pretty determined way -- was the issue of training. Our officers met all the [state] requirements, but they were doing things they weren't trained for."
Is Gonzalez feared? Todd says he doesn't think so, but then adds: "It depends, I guess, who you are and what you're up to."
Modesto police formalized SWAT policy advising officers not to aim weapons at compliant suspects. The change was part of the settlement Gonzalez negotiated after the death of young Alberto Sepulveda, shot while lying facedown, as police told him to.
Police Chief Roy Wasden says he made other policy changes after the Sepulveda shooting, but not because of Gonzalez's involvement in the case. For example, federal authorities initiated the raid on the Sepulvedas, and Wasden says his department would now ask tougher questions before committing officers to serving high-risk search warrants.
Wasden called the shooting "a tragic accident" and says he was irritated that Gonzalez made public statements that the Modesto officer, who is white, fired intentionally. Gonzalez doesn't think he said that but cannot recall for certain.
Wasden describes his feelings about Gonzalez in guarded terms: "Ahh, boy. I thought he was effective. That's probably all I should say."
San Francisco attorney Gregory Fox is more specific. He represented Modesto when the Sepulvedas sued and says Gonzalez ignored a chance to explore an issue of national importance raised by Alberto's shooting: How truthful are federal law enforcement agencies about suspects when they involve local police departments in SWAT raids?
Modesto wanted to know whether the federal authorities had reason to think Alberto's father had a history of narcotics trafficking, violence and weapons possession. The SWAT raid uncovered no drugs, drug paraphernalia or weapons in the home.
But the city couldn't find out because Gonzalez reached an out-of-court settlement with the federal government for $450,000 even as he continued to push his case against Modesto. Fox speculates that Gonzalez settled to influence federal officials to go easy on Moises Sepulveda on his criminal drug charge.
"There is a bigger problem that should have been investigated, and changes that should have been made at the national level have not been made," Fox says. "And when it happens again -- and it will happen again -- at what price and what cost will it take to get that search for the complete truth?"
Gonzalez says he was obligated to think first of his client rather than try to remake federal policy. Alberto's mother was traumatized by her son's death and was better served by not having to testify at a trial, Gonzalez adds.
Valley police chiefs received training on how to handle suicidal suspects. Gonzalez says he made the training part of a $150,000 negotiated settlement .........

176th Anniversary of Texas Declaration of Independence Celebration Set
WASHINGTON, Texas – Historical re-enactors portraying Texas heroes Col. William B. Travis, Gen. Sam Houston and Davy Crockett will help lend an authentic air to the Texas Independence Day celebration March 3-4 at Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site.
This year's two-day festival commemorates the 176th anniversary of the signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence on March 2, 1836, by 59 men who gathered on the banks of the Brazos River for the Independence Convention. Children are invited to have their photo taken with the Texas heroes.
A special Texas Independence Day program will be held starting at 1:30 p.m. in the park amphitheater with a performance by the Aggie Wranglers, a high-energy country-western dance group. Highlighting the program will be a 3 p.m. roll call of the direct descendants of the signers of the document who declared Texas' freedom from Mexican rule. Visitors may want to arrive at the amphitheater at 12:45 p.m. to enjoy the Tanner Family Minstrel Show.
Appearing on the afternoon program will be Bob Heinonen, who will portray Alamo commander William B. Travis for the final time after 20 years of interpreting his character at the annual celebration. The day's program concludes at 3:15 with a blackpowder rifle salute and the traditional cutting and serving of pieces of a Texas-sized birthday cake.
There is no cost to attend the two-day festival that takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday at the 293-acre "Birthplace of the Republic of Texas" located between Navasota and Brenham.
Throughout the weekend, park visitors will be transported back to a time when Texas was a sovereign nation. The public can mingle with members of the Texas Army and other re-enactors attired in period clothing, admire the craftsmanship of skilled Texas artisans and immerse themselves in the music and stories of the republic's past. On both days, vendors will be selling food and drinks.
During the weekend, park visitors will be able to stop in at a river overlook campsite and experience a slice of what daily life was like for those who volunteered to fight for Texas independence as a member of the Texian Army. There also will be small arms and artillery firing demonstrations at the overlook and the Washington Inn.
Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site features three attractions that are open year round: Independence Hall, the Star of the Republic Museum and the Barrington Living History Farm. The event is made possible through funding from the Washington-on-the-Brazos State Park Association, Exxon/Mobil Corporation and Bluebonnet Electric Co-op.
The Star of the Republic Museum will be opening a new exhibit titled "A Slice of Life: Washington in the 19th Century." The exhibit focuses on the people, businesses and events that influenced the fledging village of Washington in the 1830s. In the early days of the republic, the village at the site of a major Brazos River crossing was a hub for medical practices, land offices, mercantile establishments, hotels, a newspaper and taverns. A sneak preview of the Asa Hoxey collection also is planned. The exhibit continues through the end of the year.
Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site is located between Brenham and Navasota off State Hwy. 105 and FM 1155, approximately one hour northwest of Houston. For directions or more information, call the state historic site at (936) 878-2214.

During the Confetti dance class at the McHenry Municipal Center, where students learn the basic steps of tap dance and ballet, 4-year-old Kylie holds a bar as she and other youngsters tap their toes three times and then kick.
"Kick as high as you can," instructor Nicole Goy said to the youngsters. "Point your toe. Keep going."
Having Kylie in the class is one way her mother, Tina Stevens, makes sure that her daughter has an activity that helps her socialize and be physically active.
"Sitting inside doing nothing doesn't make them grow," Stevens said. "Playing video games doesn't expand their mind.
"It expands them socially when they're around other kids. It's better to be active, period."
Being around others who are active is a key to making sure that a youngster stays active.
According to a recent Vanderbilt University study, children who spend more time with active friends tend to be more active themselves.
In the study, 80 children, ages 5 to 12, were observed for 12 weeks during their after-care programs, where children could interact with different peers during the day. Children's activity levels and with whom they spent time were monitored.
"We found that children in this age group are six times more likely to adjust to their friends' activity level than not," Sabina Gessell, a research assistant professor at Vanderbilt, said in a news release. "In fact, a network of four to five immediate friends has a significant influence on any individual child regardless of their usual activity level."
Researchers said more active groups tended to bring a child's activity level up, while groups that were more sedentary brought an individual child's activity levels down.
Researchers also found that children chose their peers based on gender and age, rather than those who had the same activity levels.
"The average activity level of the group of friends is what influences an individual child," Gessell said. "Children are constantly adjusting their activity levels to match their peer group."
Chris Leathers, owner of Your World Fitness in Spring Grove, said the first key in making sure children stay active is for parents to stay active themselves.
"I'm a big believer in 'practice what you preach,' " Leathers said.
Leathers, who works with youth teams, agreed with the study that children being around other active children is beneficial and encouraged them to join sports teams.
"If we can introduce kids to the benefits of being active and living healthy, then by the time they get to be adults and they don't have gym class, working out will be an opportunity and fun habit, rather than a chore," Leathers said.
He said that as obesity becomes more of a problem in the country, people need to develop fitness and active living habits in their children.
Leathers said peer pressure can be used for good.
When Leathers trains groups of youngsters, he will give rewards such as T-shirts to youngsters who show the most effort.
"The other kids say, 'I guess I'm going to work hard, too,' " Leathers said.
Anne Fritz has enrolled her two children, Nataleen, 6, and Harrison, 8, into activities and likes to encourage them to play outside with other kids.
"I feel it's an old-school thing," Fritz said. "When I was a kid, we'd go outside and figure out what to do."

Daylight look at Arkansas bridge shows minor damage
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- A daytime look at an Arkansas highway bridge in the path of two runaway barges showed signs of damage to its pier protectors Saturday, but nothing significant enough to close the roadway, authorities said.
State police closed the Interstate 30 bridge for an hour Friday night, along with four other spans across the Arkansas River, after a towboat operator said he feared his runaway load may have struck piers. The spans reopened after a state inspector said the bridges themselves were not hit.
The head of the Arkansas Waterways Commission and the North Little Rock Fire Department inspected the bridges in daylight Saturday and found the damage was limited to fresh scrapes on the concrete-capped pier protectors.
"We're grateful that the devices worked," said Gene Higginbotham, executive director of the commission. "They've done a good job. That's why you have the devices."
The I-30 bridge carries 114,000 vehicles annually. The Friday evening commute had already ended when the accident occurred but traffic in the Little Rock and North Little Rock entertainment districts was snarled when police also closed two pedestrian bridges and two bridges carrying city streets.
The only bridge to remain open after the accident was limited to railroad traffic, meaning at least a 16-mile detour for motorists.
Higginbotham said the barges, pushed by the MV Midland, made only a glancing blow to the I-30 bridge and a pedestrian span near the Clinton Presidential Library that is part of a riverfront trail.
The pier protectors are steel-enwrapped and concrete-capped cylinders filled with rocks, gravel and sand to cushion blows from passing barges and towboats.
The U.S. Coast Guard in Memphis, Tenn., said Saturday the Midland was pushing 12 barges and that half of them came loose, though not all of them floated away freely.
Lt. j.g. Brian Porter, a Coast Guard spokesman, said two vessels helped wrangle the loose barges about a mile downstream. One barge needed minor repairs and the towboat would be allowed to continue its trip to Rosedale, Miss., after the tow is put back together, Porter said.
Higginbotham said the Midland was owned by Ingram Barge Co. of Nashville. Its answering service said officials would be available Monday.
Randy Ort, spokesman for the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department, said his agency's bridge inspectors wouldn't return until Monday. He said there was nothing to indicate an imminent danger to traffic on the highways or the river.
The bridge was completed around 1970, Ort said, and was designed to accommodate the Arkansas River Navigation System, which was completed in 1974. The distance between the piers at Little Rock is 300 feet.
The I-30 bridge is scheduled to be widened from its current six lanes to eight lanes in the next 10 years. Higginbotham said the new bridge would likely be designed to reduce the hazards to and from river navigation.

"Lost," that endless engrossing philosophical mish-mash
Posted byon 02.02.08 |
Like cramming fistfuls of metaphysical crayons back into their tiny box, the Island on "Lost" can barely contain all the colorful epistemologies in its midst. It is a big stew of Philosophy 101's greatest hits... It's like the Monty Python sketch, "International Philosophy," in which Greek and German philosophers battle it out on the soccer field (Socrates's winning goal is contested by Hegel as not being an "a priori reality"). Back on "Lost" Philosophy Island, the implications are just as absurd: After all, if everything is imbued with meaning, then how meaningful is any one thing? READ MORE >

Levels of dissolved oxygen were above 5 milligrams per liter, which are generally accepted as being protective of estuarine life.
By Mary Malloy
A state of emergency was declared for some homes in East Rockaway and Baldwin last week, according to Nassau County Health Commissioner Dr. Lawrence Eisenstein, to "help eliminate threats to public health and safety for those residents affected by sewage main ruptures."
Residents of Bay Park and Baldwin, who lost many of their possessions in Hurricane Sandy and have been suffering through a lack of heat, electricity and hot water in the weeks since, have had their problems compounded by partially treated sewage bubbling up into their homes and streets from the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant, which processes 65 million gallons of sewage per day — 40 percent of the county's sewage.
"It's just disgusting," said one resident of West Boulevard in Bay Park. "You can see it's not just water or mud … it has feces floating in it." Residents stood watching in disbelief as water rose from somewhere underground on Nov. 15, causing a stench and what many called unhealthy living conditions.
According to Michael Martino, a spokesman for the Nassau County Department of Public Works, there is no longer any sewage coming up from manholes. "Recently, a manhole had water infiltration associated with the high tide," Martino said, "not sewage."
The storm devastated some of the county's infrastructure, Martino said, including the Bay Park plant, which was hit with a nine-foot tidal surge. "The seawater inundated many parts of the plant and submerged critical pieces of equipment in saltwater, rendering them inoperable," he said. "As a result, normal operation of the plant ceased."
Since then, Martino explained, sewage has been partially treated with chlorine. "The federal, state and county critical response team is now working tirelessly to provide a comprehensive repair of the facility," he said. "Initial assessments indicate that replacement parts must be engineered, manufactured and replaced. The assessment process is ongoing, and plans will be updated as they become available."
Martino added that new methods of disposal are being studied. (In September, Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano announced that the county will spend nearly $100,000 to study new ways to treat wastewater at the Bay Park plant and the feasibility of building an sewage outfall pipe that would extend into the Atlantic Ocean.)
What happens now?
Under the state of emergency declaration, affected homes can be cleaned out and decontaminated. The sewer main breaches occurred at Barnes Avenue, in Baldwin, and North Boulevard, in East Rockaway.
Eisenstein and Mangano, along with representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, visited the residents who were impacted, assured them that the county would help address their health concerns.
An environmental hygienist was to be made available for site assessments of homes in the affected areas, and a remediation company was slated to provide cleanup and decontamination services at no cost to homeowners.
Along with robo calls to residents, county Department of Health spokeswoman Mary Ellen Laurain said, department staff planned to go door to door to advise residents who may have come in contact with the sewage. Additionally, the department recommended the following steps for cleaning up areas contaminated by sewage:
n Remove children and pets from the affected area.
n To properly dispose of sewage, wear rubber gloves and boots, and use soap and water followed by disinfecting solution comprising 9 parts water, 1 part household bleach.
n Wash clothing worn during cleanup or discard in heavy-duty garbage bags for pickup.
For more information, residents may call (516) 573-9635.

...and now it's time for the show
Since I posted the Nick at Nite Looney Tunes intro the other day, I thought it would make sense to follow-up by posting the Looney Tunes On Nickelodeon intro. Looney Tunes first aired on Nickelodeon on Sept. 12, 1988 and ran for 11 years (the final broadcast was on Sept. 11, 1999). This was the original opening... which even includes an appearance by Bosko. The show was revamped around 1992. The network started airing the cartoons with their full opening & closing titles and began to phase out the black & white cartoons which were a staple of the show's earlier years. I am sure we'll get around to posting the second intro someday, but right now enjoy the original.
3 comments:
I wonder how many people who enjoyed seeing the Nickelodeon logo appear in an original sequence to open classic Looney Tunes are the same ones who complained when it showed up in the pre-existing intro to Pinky and the Brain? :)

I remember that show, Yeah! It was back in the days when Nickelodeon did NOT suck like it does nowadays and of course long before Viacom became a huge, selfish and ignroant monopoly of a company that it is today.

Police say number of calls to Manchester's Club Realm not unusualBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 11. 2013 11:21PM
MANCHESTER - The downtown club associated with a December murder investigation has had nearly 100 calls for police service this past year but only a fraction of the arrests associated with troublesome Manchester bars over the past decade.
Manchester police said that they were called to Club Realm 96 times in 2012. However, only 14 of the calls were important enough to warrant a police report; five arrests were made last year at the club.
Daniel Langlois, who was shot and killed Dec. 27, was a part-time bouncer at the club, according to friends. He was believed to be driving an intoxicated friend home from the club when he was shot less than a mile from the club.
Friends have said a fight broke out between three others and Langlois after he left the bar.
Prosecutor Jeffery Strelzin of the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office said Thursday that Manchester police are working the case every day.
"They talk. I meet with them. We meet up here (in Concord). It's an active investigation," Strelzin said.
Weekend arrests are nothing out of the ordinary for downtown Manchester, and the first block of Amherst Street has had its share. That's because of a nearby city parking garage favored by weekend revelers, and in part because of the club at 43 Amherst St.
The number of police calls for service at Club Realm are not unusual, said Gary Simmons, assistant Manchester police chief. Many of them were initiated by police who are keeping an eye on the club, rather than customers, he said.
"If you look at calls we have to respond to for trouble, it's not unusual," Simmons said. He also said the club is cooperative. In the past year, police have asked Club Realm to focus on potential trouble at closing time, and the club has responded, he said.
According to city and state Liquor Commission records, the owner of Club Realm is Londonderry resident Pamela Gagnon.
In a brief telephone interview, Gagnon said there have been no arrests associated with Realm, and she questioned the accuracy of police records. She said a reporter should speak to her lawyer but did not provide a name.
She also said Langlois had visited two other clubs the night of his death. Strelzin would not discuss her remark about Langlois.
Four of the 2012 arrests associated with Club Realm were for disorderly conduct and one for theft. Other incidents that did not result in arrest include one armed robbery and two assaults.
The numbers pale when compared to Omega, the dance club located on Elm and Auburn streets that officials shut down in 2006 because of an alarming number of assaults, drunkenness and other calls. For a 12-month period ending May 2005, police counted 113 arrests associated with Omega, according to New Hampshire Union Leader archives.
Simmons said Club Realm isn't required to hire an off-duty police detail. But it does so on occasion, such as when a big act visits the club. Records at the Liquor Commission list Gagnon as the only owner of Club Realm, and city records say she is the sole proprietor.
Liquor Commission Enforcement Chief Eddie Edwards said records say the initial license was issued in July 2011, but did not go into effect until the following December. Such a delay is not unsual, as a bar owner takes time to put everything together to open a business, he said.
A Gagnon relative, Dale Gagnon, signed for city licenses on Club Realm's behalf. And the owner of the building is listed as Pauline Gage, the mother of Tim Gage, the owner of the now defunct Club Liquid.
Club Liquid had landed in police reports and the Union Leader crime reports in the mid to late 2000s - five mentions in the Union Leader in 2009, six in 2008, three in 2007, five in 2006.
Simmons said Club Realm does not have the problems that Club Liquid had when it was in operation.
Edwards said Club Realm has not been cited for any violations of liquor laws since it opened, but officers are looking at some issues regarding food.
Club Realm operates under a restaurant license, meaning it cannot close its kitchen at 9 p.m., as can clubs that have a more expensive license for restaurant/cocktail lounge.
Edwards said Liquor Enforcement officers have reached out to Manchester police in light of the Langlois homicide.
"This is all preliminary," he said, "but it doesn't seem to be an issue for us right now."

NEW YORK (AP) — Oil traders got what they wanted Wednesday: another big move by the Federal Reserve to stimulate the slow-growing U.S. economy.
The Fed said it will spend $85 billion a month to sustain an aggressive drive to keep long-term interest rates low. It also plans to keep a key short-term rate near zero until unemployment drops below 6.5 percent.
Stimulus measures generally weaken the dollar, which tends to direct more investors into buying commodities.
Benchmark crude gained 98 cents to close at $86.77 a barrel in New York. It rose as high as $87.68 after the Fed's announcement.
Before the Fed statement was released Wednesday afternoon, oil was only moderately higher, with gains dampened by a big increase in the nation's gasoline supply. The government said gasoline supplies jumped by 5 million barrels last week, twice as much as analysts. That's a sign of weak demand.
Meanwhile, prices at the pump fell to $3.31 a gallon, about 4 cents higher than this day a year ago.
Brent crude, used to price international varieties of oil, rose $1.33 to $108.02 on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
Other futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange:
— Heating oil rose 4 cents to $2.967 a gallon
— Natural gas fell 3 cents to $3.382 per 1,000 cubic feet.
— Wholesale gasoline rose 3.6 cents to $2.647 a gallon.

Boyfriend indicted in assault, burning of boy in Plaistow abuse caseJASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
December 07. 2012 3:50PM
PLAISTOW - The Plaistow man accused of beating and burning his girlfriend's 3-year-old son and later running off to Universal Studios in Florida to avoid capture has been indicted on first- and second-degree assault charges.
Roland Dow, 27, was indicted by a Rockingham County grand jury this week on the felony assault charges stemming from the alleged abuse discovered on Nov. 14 when he and Jessica Linscott, 23, brought her son, James Nicholson, to Exeter Hospital.
Prosecutors accused Dow of striking James in the head, causing a traumatic brain injury that led to seizures and other problems. He was also accused of burning the boy's wrist and fingers.
Assistant Rockingham County Attorney Michael Zaino said Friday he could only confirm that Dow was indicted on the first- and second-degree assault charges, but could not provide more details on the indictments until they are made public next week.
A probable cause hearing for Dow whad been scheduled for Monday in the 10th Circuit Court in Plaistow, but it has now been called off following the indictment.
Dow also faces five misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child for allegedly failing to seek medical care for James on several occasions.
Jessica Linscott is charged with six misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child based on similar accusations. She is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 20 for a pretrial hearing.
Dow and Linscott remain held at the Rockingham County jail after they were arrested at the Universal Studios theme park in Orlando, Fla., last week following a nearly two-week manhunt that attracted national media attention.
James, who was hospitalized for several days with critical injuries, has now been released from the hospital and is living with his grandmother in Kingston while he remains in the custody of the state Division of Children, Youth and Families.

What a quarter! Nothing like what any of the pundits predicted. The S&P 500 Index (SPX) was up about 10%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU) was up over 8%, and the Nasdaq was the laggard at around 5%, during the first quarter. And all despite the "sequester" coming into force during the quarter.
It was a good quarter for passive investors who were 100% invested in a Dow ETF. But that's not the way I manage my money. I typically seek to have a cash cushion even in bull markets. It's currently about 17% in the PWP Growth and Income model and about 37% on the Global Growth Brands model. Given those cushions, I'm happy with Q1 returns of approximately 4% and 2% respectively.

Apple (AAPL) continues to be a disappointment, in my opinion. Not the company, which still makes some of the best and most in demand products on planet, but the stock. I suspect that many, if not all, of the momentum traders are now out of the stock and it has become more of a value play than anything.
For that reason I'm in no hurry to dump the stock. On a positive note I had a good run with Shutterfly (SFLY) in the first quarter. It seems that creating custom Christmas cards and family photo albums were in vogue at the end of last year! Other stocks that I sold in the first quarter: Hess (HES), MetLife (MET) and Dell (DELL).
I continue to look for good value and believe I found it last quarter in Coach (COH), Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS), Gannett (GCI), Honda (HMC), PNC Financial Services (PNC), Statoil (STO), and TravelCenters of America (TA), all of which had been under pressure. I believe these are all good companies with good brands and good management which are positioned to do well in a healthy economy.
Also added in the first quarter were AerCap Holdings (AER), Aircastle (AYR), Broadcom (BRCM), and Hospitality Properties (HPT), each for different reasons. In my opinion, AER and AYR are conservative ways to play a growth in air travel.
I believe that BRCM is a play on the mobile revolution. And HPT is a way to benefit from the pickup in economic activity while collecting a healthy dividend in my opinion.
I have no idea if the market will continue to grow the rest of the year. On the positive side economic growth should continue to provide a tailwind for the market. On the negative (or flat) side the market may have already factored in economic growth for all of 2013 with its Q1 performance.
Regardless, I will continue to look for companies which I believe represent both value and growth relative to the broader market and the economy as a whole. And I will continue to do so until I feel the bull market is getting long in the tooth, which is not the case today.
Until next time many happy returns!

Consumer Reports has taken another polling from motorcycle owners, a part of the publication's continuous assessment on the value of various motorcycle brands and categories.
As usual, the Japanese brands dominated the reliability segment, though that did not automatically translate into the happiest of owners.
Victory Motorcycles takes the cake for keeping its customers happy, which stems from having fairly reliable motorcycles, coupled with good customer service and dealer interactions.
As such, 80% of Victory owners said they would buy a Victory again. Compare that figure to 72% for Harley-Davidson, and 70% for Honda (all other OEMs were below 70%).

ABANDONED BY BEARS 'Greyscale' Video
Swedish pop-punkers ABANDONED BY BEARS have released "Greyscale," the groove-filled banger from their highly anticipated new album. The track closes the bands upcoming third studio album, Headstorm, set for worldwide release on August 24, 2018.
"Up to this point we only made videos for our more poppy and upbeat songs," admits bassist Gustav Eriksson. "All our videos have always had a more 'positive' vibe and although this is not the first time we've written an angry song, we've never accompanied one with any video. We need to keep trying new things to keep the whole band experience fresh, and for us this was very different compared to visuals we've done before. This song reflects a situation in your life where you've had to cut the ties with a friend, a significant other or someone close that brought the worst out in you."

Boeing Co said on Monday it is creating a new division to oversee airplane development, hiving off that function from production as it seeks to ramp up factory output.
The company named Scott Fancher, who heads Boeing's 777 jet program, to lead the new "airplane development" division, which will handle design and flight certification of planes that are currently on the drawing board. These include the 737 MAX, the 767 Tanker and 787-9, and the 777-X and 787-10X programs that have not yet formally started.
Continue Reading Below
The move comes as Boeing plans to lift factory output by 25 percent over the next 18 months, and tries to develop five derivative jets to meet customer demand for longer-range and more fuel-efficient planes to better compete with Europe's Airbus .
Analysts called the division sensible given the unusually large number of new planes in development and the unusually rapid pace of Boeing's factories - "the highest levels in commercial aviation history," as Boeing put it.
"Successfully balancing our production and development priorities is critical to our future viability and success with customers," Ray Conner, chief of Boeing's commercial airplane business, said in a message to Boeing employees on Monday.
The changes, effective immediately, "will help clarify responsibility, streamline decision-making and accelerate our progress on these priorities," Conner said.
The new structure creates an "airlines programs" unit headed by Pat Shanahan, a senior vice president currently in charge of production. The division will be responsible for the profit and loss of the jet programs in production, and integrating development of new jets into production.
The division of labor "puts a specific leader in charge of future development," said Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel, and allows Shanahan to focus on production.
Boeing's commercial aviation services unit, which provides support for jets in service, will continue to be led by Lou Mancini, a senior vice president.
Analysts said Boeing needs to optimize both sides of the airplane business, but it was unclear how the development side would be handled. "The production ramp is not insignificant" particularly on the 777, said Russell Solomon, an analyst at Moody's Investors Service in New York. For such a "hugely important and profitable program you don't want to have a misstep."
Developing five new planes, including substantial redesign of the 777, is a tall order. "Organizationally, it makes sense to have someone who's in charge of all of that," said Scott Hamilton, analyst at Leeham Co in Seattle.
"The only real risk is will he be stretched too thin," he said. "We have to see how Fancher organizes his new responsibility."
Boeing shares ended down 0.35 percent at $74.02 Monday on the New York Stock Exchange.

A poll of 1,000 UK film buffs has rated The Italian Job as the "all-time favourite British film", The Sun reports.
Michael Caine's classic line "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" also secured the "most memorable scene" title.
The survey, for some reason carried out by food firm Pork Farms, shows the Turin car chase from the film at number three most memorable, pipped to second spot by the dole queue dancing scene from The Full Monty.
Python fans will be pleased to know that the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail gets a look in at five, closely followed by the "two lines of rather bewildered Brits contemplate lots and lots of dead Zulus" moment from, you guessed it: Zulu.
Here's the full list of most memorable moments, as voted for by pork pie fanciers nationwide:
- "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" - The Italian Job
- Dancing in the dole queue - The Full Monty
- Turin car chase - The Italian Job
- Dance finale - Billy Elliot
- The Black Knight - Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- The two rows of soldiers and piled dead bodies - Zulu
- Big pants - Bridget Jones's Diary
- Thames boat chase - James Bond: The World Is Not Enough
- Hugh Grant as the PM dancing in Number Ten - Love Actually
- Rhys Ifans in his grey undies - Notting Hill

ANSAN, South Korea—As Danwon High School reopened on Thursday, it was without its entire second-year class.
Older students in their third year at the school are returning for days of psychological therapy after last week's ferry disaster that claimed many of their school mates. First-year students will follow on Monday. Of 325 second-year students who went on an ill-fated school trip, only 75 returned. They and the 13 who didn't go on the trip will remain on leave....

sheesh, an inch thick?!!
The Lezyne Phone Wallet is designed to keep your personal items dry and secure. I'm talking, phone, change or maybe a card in case of emergencies. There are several products on the market designed to do just this but not many that do all of it.
Step forward the phone wallet from Lezyne. There's no doubting the wallet is well made.
For your phone there is a separate pocket, sealed with a water resistant zip which has a large loop to assist access, even with bulky gloves. An added bonus is the clear panel that is touchscreen compatible, so you can still use your phone whilst it is safely protected. It'll fit a smartphone up to an HTC One X - just.
This clear panel is in turn protected by a velcro cover with three slots for holding cards, ID etc. On the outside is a zippered pocket, ideal for the important loose change if a coffee is required en route.
All that said, the finished item is well made but the drawback is its size! It measures 145x100x25mm, not the smallest item to fit in any pocket. To be fair, it will fit in a jersey rear pocket but you will notice its bulk. So the question remains, do you want something that will protect your phone and do it well plus a number of other items but take up a fair amount of room? I would imagine the answer in a lot of instances will be no. Simpler zip-lock covers do a similar job for less money and room in your pocket.
The Lezyne phone wallet is well made and fit for purpose but on the big side for a jersey pocket.

The outer zip is waterproof and the separate compartment for your phone is a nice idea. It will even accommodate touch screen phones as they can be used without removing them from the safety of the pouch.
Well made as you'd expect from Lezyne.
For what it is designed for, it does this very well.
Solid and well made, this will last.
Certainly not the lightest but then it isn't setting out to achieve that.
Good value but I think the target audience is actually quite small for a phone cover this large.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
It does achieve it's stated purpose of protecting your prize possessions.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
You can tell thought has gone into some of the little features in this product.

My Blackberry in its casemate is 20mm thick.
It is also a pita to get out of a jersey pocket because the rubbery casemate drags on the fabric. I'd happily take the extra 5-6mm if I can double up on phone case and wallet and not carry anything else.
Perhaps it isn't aimed at weight weenies and Apple fans?

MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — U.S. Sen. John McCain says Washington is committed to keeping its Persian Gulf naval hub in Bahrain despite an Arab Spring-inspired uprising that has wracked the tiny kingdom.
McCain, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, says the U.S. has "too much invested" in Bahrain to consider shifting the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet to another country. The 5th Fleet is the Pentagon's main counterweight to Iran's expanding military presence in the Gulf.
Washington has been pushed into a difficult position by Bahrain's 22-month unrest. It backs Bahrain's Sunni monarchy, but U.S. officials have grown increasingly uneasy over crackdowns against Bahrain's Shiite majority, which is seeking a greater political voice.
McCain said Sunday he has held talks with Bahrain's king and Shiite opposition groups during a global security summit.

$10,000 bond set for Milwaukee public school teacher charged with sexual assault
Preliminary hearing for Armando Briseno-Alonso set for March 12
A teacher at a Milwaukee public school is being investigated after allegations of assault.
Armando Briseno-Alonso was charged Friday with repeated sexual assault of a child and two counts of child enticement.
Investigators said a 12-year-old boy told them Briseno-Alonso had been assaulting him since he was in the third grade in 2010 at Rogers Street Academy.
Police said the boy told them Briseno-Alonso would ask the class, "Who wants to help put books away?" and then take him into another classroom and touch his private parts.
A Milwaukee Public Schools spokesman told WISN 12 News reporter Mike Anderson that Milwaukee police are handling the investigation and that MPS is "cooperating fully with the investigation."
Records from the Wisconsin Circuit Court Access indicate a $10,000 bond was set for Briseno-Alonso on Saturday. He made his initial appearance in Milwaukee County Court, according to the records, and was ordered to have no contact with the alleged victim or the victim's family.
He was also ordered not to have contact with children under the age of 18, according to records.
A preliminary hearing was set for March 12.

To purchase a new cupboard, you will need to take the exact measurements of the appliances and workspaces in your kitchen and to plan the layout of the whole kitchen accordingly. You can purchase a wall-mounted cupboard to keep your design simple and accessible. Now, you can purchase a cupboard with the decided features from the internet auctions or the nearby store according to your budget. The internal layout of the new cupboard should match your lifestyle and the size of your kitchen. For example, if you regularly use the cans of dry food, you will need to specify certain shelves for such cans according to the dates of purchasing them.
The way of lighting your modern Italian kitchen should enhance the theme and give the place a fresh look. The natural light is too important in this kitchen; so, you will need a large window with a modern looking short valance or a lightweight curtain. The artificial light will depend on the size of your kitchen. The accent lights around your ceiling and above your cabinets in addition to the functional lights above your sink and island should blend well with the space and enhance its natural look.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — A 60-nation summit wrapped up in Chile on Sunday with European leaders pleading for "legal certainty" and lower trade barriers between economies that together represent a billion people and about $280 billion in bilateral trade.
Europe is the top direct investor in Latin America and the Caribbean. But the flow of money across the Atlantic has slowed because of a European recession marked by record unemployment, austerity measures and mounting debts.
Adding to Europe's woes, companies from Spain, France and other once-dominant economies have been seized in recent years as Argentina, Bolivia and Venezuela seek to regain control over their resources.
The Europeans' frustration was evident at the CELAC-EU summit.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said sustainable development in the two continents, which collectively represent a third of the world's nations and a fourth of the world's gross domestic product, cannot occur if shifting regulations make long-term investments too risky.
"It's true that Europe is the largest trading partner for Latin America. But it's also true that we're seeing an increase in Latin American investment in Europe, where they are most welcome," Barroso said. "Both sides need to provide legal certainty to companies investing in our economies."
Chilean President Sebastian Pinera took a more optimistic tone, saying he feels his fellow leaders have strengthened a strategic alliance and that a slowdown in Europe has been offset by trade flowing from a booming Latin America.
"I'm fully convinced that we've taken a huge step forward," Pinera said. "But it's not enough. Now it's time to act, to translate good intentions and agreements into results."
European Council President Herman Van Rompuy promised that the benefits of the EU's free-trade deals with Colombia, Peru and Central America will become evident this year.
He also expressed optimism about progress toward a long-delayed treaty dropping trade barriers with South America's Mercosur trade bloc, after securing promises from Brazil and Argentina to submit new proposals this year
But President Cristina Fernandez tweeted that she won't agree to deal that exposes Argentine companies to unfair competition from more powerful European interests. "We have to prevent and consider these asymmetries, to avoid hurting our industries and, above all, our people."
Europe has been desperately seeking new profits in a region it colonized with gunpowder and horses 500 years ago. It gained new dominion in the 1990s as dictatorships gave way to weakened democracies. But the latest data show how much times have changed.
While Latin America's commodity-rich economies have weathered the global crisis, growing by 3.1 percent last year, Europe contracted by 0.5 percent. This year's growth forecasts suggest little immediate relief for an Old World stuck in recession.
Bolivian President Evo Morales rejected the Europeans' calls for profit-guarantees for their companies, saying Europe plundered Latin America for way too long to make such demands now.
Access to water, electricity and other basic services are rights of the people, not corporations, he said. The first indigenous president of the poor-landlocked country nationalized several Spanish electricity distribution companies last year.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has nationalized a long list of foreign companies, sometimes triggering compensation disputes. Argentina has refused to pay Grupo Repsol $10.5 billion for expropriating the Spanish company's stake in the YPF oil company
Europe came to the summit hoping to get the Latin leaders' signatures on a declaration promising to stop these takeovers and other protectionist measures that have scared investors away, from currency controls and new taxes to constantly changing import and export rules.
But Venezuela refused to sign, prompting the Europeans to drop a phrase committing the leaders to ensure their regulations adhere to "international commitments and obligations."
Van Rompuy, a former prime minister of Belgium, said the summit provided much reason for optimism. But he insisted that "a stable, transparent and predictable legal framework" is essential.
"We need more trade, more free trade," he said. "We have to avoid protectionism."
Associated Press writers Federico Quilodran, Eva Vergara and Michael Warren in Santiago, Chile contributed to this report. —

PMK, well there's fanservice for girls with all the yaoi undertones, but I got sick of the melodrama and only watched 3 episodes. With Kaleido Star, how convenient that they must wear leotards for acrobatics hehe. (Nobody wants to see an anime about ice sculpting in an anarok or something lol.) But actually, I will excuse Kaleido Star because it is directed by the all powerful Junichi Sato. I keep hearing good things, I must check it out soon.
What, BakuTen like Bubblegum Crisis? Okay I did not expect that comparison and its enough to intrigue me...

The action gave me a bit of an adrenalin rush so I guess I'll follow it. I don't appreciate the mecha but I do enjoy the guns. Plus, you don't see too many cowgirls in anime. Meg definitely seems to have something for Jo... About the fanservice, yeah, there seems to be a lot of lack of clothing but they're not flashing anyone so far.

Just saw the Lunar version of Bakuretsu Tenshi and i have to say: Two thumbs up, Ed loooovvveeesss Baku Ten^^
Nice setting, interesting characters plus chara-design, good music score "Everybody Loosey^^", a really,really nice dress up scene with Jo and nice mecha action (looks like cell shading).
Fav line for the first episode from Jo: "Can I shoot all of them?"
And yes, as it was stated before, it does look like a cross-over between Bubblegum Crisis, Cowboy Bebop and a bit of Noir.

Honestly i think Gonzo is one of the best out there right up there next to Gainax, Xebec and Beetrain, on my list of groups that have to really mess up to get me mad.
Remember Kiddy grade? first episodes make you think fanservice only, but by episode 4 there are undertones of something.................... wait and see
ps. Happy Easter everyone,

Well IMO this is one of the best i've seen so far this season, having not seen a mecha anime in a while. Gonzo have made this a series to be very interested in.
We cant be sure what the plot will be like from the first series of the episode so mabie we should all give it a few more before we call it a rip off.
Did anyone else get a Nadesico feel from this? Cook gets taken off to war and becomes embroiled in the conflicts to come. (ep 2 said something about him being involved in the rescue operation.) I didnt get the noir feel from this, tho i immediately saw Auska from NGE in the Meg character (correct me if im wrong with the names).
I'll follow it into the forseeable future.

Well after watching the first episode this series seems kinda dry storywise, but its so pretty to look at. Gotta check out more episodes. But out of the 5 new series I've seen so far its 4th right above mars daybreak.
And as I expected it looked like this new series got by far the most downloads.

after rewatching the first episode, it seems getting better and better, as I noticed some very nice details that I have missed earlier. the actions look quite good now. And it feels more and more like BGC too...

I got to watch the first ep now and its OK for what it is catering to. Heavy influences from Bubblegum Crisis, with a smattering of Cowboy Bebop and character transplants of Asuka from Eva and Skuld from AMG and Akito the Cook (same seiyuu sounds like) from Nadesico ;p

Grey hair.. Red eyes.. Rei anyone? Well, Jo sure doesn't act like Rei, but the character designs are so strangely close to EVA. Despite that, it really caught my attention. There isn't much plot in the pilot episode, but I was kept gawking by the CG eye candy.
Awesome. That makes three new animes i have to download each week.

err... Jo... Noir... EVA... what's next?
Is there a muscular female character in Noir? No. Is there a muscular female character in EVA? No.
Also I'd say a series with explosions, T&A and mass fanservice can be a great series, the example being GONZO's own Vandread series

Looks promising. I was a bit worried about the skimpy outfits at first - not that I don't like a little fan service now and then, but I was worried it was going to approach the absurd level of Daphne...ridiculuous not attractive. Well, they are pretty skimpy, especially Jo's, but its tolerable. And I love Sei's character design...she's gorgeous and its nice to have a main character that appears to be older than high school age.
Production values are great and knowing this is the first episode, there is absolutely no reason to doubt the plot development at this point. The theme may not be brand new, but I have faith GONZO will make something of it.

That's the beauty of it here to me. It is not a technical fault of animation nor is it slow or awkward. The OP also showed this with the rounds slowly coming towards you from Joe's guns.
