#oranger des osages

[transparentgentlemenmarker]

Fruit du Maclura pomifera appelé couramment oranger des Osages ou bois d'arc est un arbre d'origine nord-américaine appartient à la même famille que les mûriers. Le Maclura est monotypique, ce qui signifie qu'il n'en existe qu'une seule espèce. Il se développe naturellement dans le sud des États-Unis. Il tire son nom des Oranger des Osages, une tribu indienne qui utilisait le bois du Maclura notamment pour la confection des arcs et des haches. Sa couronne est large et plus ou moins aplatie. Étant donné ses branches très épineuses, il est souvent utilisé comme arbre de haie en Amérique du Nord. Ses feuilles sont de forme variable, bien que le sommet du limbe soit toujours longuement acuminé. Elles deviennent jaunes en automne. Il s'agit d'un arbre dioïque ; il existe donc des spécimens mâles et des spécimens femelles. Il faudra donc un arbre avec des fleurs mâles pour produire du pollen et une autre arbre qui produit des fleurs femelles. Si fécondé cette femelle peut portes des gros fruits ronds de la taille d'une belle orange. Sa floraison discrète est suivie de l'apparition de fruits aromatiques rappelant quelque peu les oranges. Leur peau verruqueuse est initialement jaune verdâtre et vire au jaune orangé par la suite. Résistance moyenne au froid. Le fruits n'est pas comestible étant extrêmement amer. Il y également le cudranier de chine ou mûrier chinois de son nom latin cudrania tricuspidata renommé de nos jours maclura tricuspidata, il a un développement en mode nonchalance, dont il faut savoir attendre et mûrir dans la placidité, être serein armé de cette vertu de la patience qui plus est sachez que les premières fructifications apparaissent au minimum au bout de 10 à 15 années de croissances à partir d'un fuseau ou d'un scion, de plus qui n'est point négligeable ses fruits plus petits et rougeâtres sont comestibles et succulents. Et un avantage il se greffe très bien sur le maclura pomifera l'oranger des Osage, le fait qu'ils sont de la même famille celui de moraceae. Ainsi de cette greffe rendra la fructification encore plus précoce et plus importante, en âge adulte produit plus d'une centaine de kilos.

Extension of Replacement Period for Livestock Sold on Account of Drought on Cook & Co. News

New Post has been published on https://cookco.us/news/extension-of-replacement-period-for-livestock-sold-on-account-of-drought/

Extension of Replacement Period for Livestock Sold on Account of Drought

Notice 2019- 54

SECTION 1. PURPOSE This notice provides guidance regarding an extension of the replacement period under § 1033(e) of the Internal Revenue Code for livestock sold on account of drought in specified counties.

SECTION 2. BACKGROUND .01 Nonrecognition of Gain on Involuntary Conversion of Livestock. Section 1033(a) generally provides for nonrecognition of gain when property is involuntarily converted and replaced with property that is similar or related in service or use. Section 1033(e)(1) provides that a sale or exchange of livestock (other than poultry) held by a taxpayer for draft, breeding, or dairy purposes in excess of the number that would be sold following the taxpayer’s usual business practices is treated as an involuntary conversion if the livestock is sold or exchanged solely on account of drought, flood, or other weather-related conditions.

.02 Replacement Period. Section 1033(a)(2)(A) generally provides that gain from an involuntary conversion is recognized only to the extent the amount realized on the conversion exceeds the cost of replacement property purchased during the replacement period. If a sale or exchange of livestock is treated as an involuntary conversion under § 1033(e)(1) and is solely on account of drought, flood, or other weather-related conditions that result in the area being designated as eligible for assistance by the federal government, § 1033(e)(2)(A) provides that the replacement period ends four years after the close of the first taxable year in which any part of the gain from the conversion is realized. Section 1033(e)(2)(B) provides that the Secretary may extend this replacement period on a regional basis for such additional time as the Secretary determines appropriate if the weather-related conditions that resulted in the area being designated as eligible for assistance by the federal government continue for more than three years. Section 1033(e)(2) is effective for any taxable year with respect to which the due date (without regard to extensions) for a taxpayer’s return is after December 31, 2002.

SECTION 3. EXTENSION OF REPLACEMENT PERIOD UNDER § 1033(e)(2)(B) Notice 2006-82, 2006-2 C.B. 529, provides for extensions of the replacement period under § 1033(e)(2)(B). If a sale or exchange of livestock is treated as an involuntary conversion on account of drought and the taxpayer’s replacement period is determined under § 1033(e)(2)(A), the replacement period will be extended under § 1033(e)(2)(B) and Notice 2006-82 until the end of the taxpayer’s first taxable year ending after the first drought-free year for the applicable region.

For this purpose, the first drought-free year for the applicable region is the first 12-month period that:

(1) ends August 31;

(2) ends in or after the last year of the taxpayer’s four-year replacement period determined under § 1033(e)(2)(A); and (3) does not include any weekly period for which exceptional, extreme, or severe drought is reported for any location in the applicable region. The applicable region is the county that experienced the drought conditions on account of which the livestock was sold or exchanged and all counties that are contiguous to that county.

A taxpayer may determine whether exceptional, extreme, or severe drought is reported for any location in the applicable region by reference to U.S. Drought Monitor maps that are produced on a weekly basis by the National Drought Mitigation Center.

U.S. Drought Monitor maps are archived at http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/Maps/MapArchive.aspx.

In addition, Notice 2006-82 provides that the Internal Revenue Service will publish in September of each year a list of counties1 for which exceptional, extreme, or severe drought was reported during the preceding 12 months. Taxpayers may use this list instead of U.S. Drought Monitor maps to determine whether exceptional, extreme, or severe drought has been reported for any location in the applicable region.

The Appendix to this notice contains the list of counties for which exceptional, extreme, or severe drought was reported during the 12-month period ending August 31,

Under Notice 2006-82, the 12-month period ended on August 31, 2019, is not a drought-free year for an applicable region that includes any county on this list. Accordingly, for a taxpayer who qualified for a four-year replacement period for livestock sold or exchanged on account of drought and whose replacement period is scheduled to expire at the end of 2019 (or, in the case of a fiscal year taxpayer, at the end of the taxable year that includes August 31, 2019), the replacement period will be extended under § 1033(e)(2) and Notice 2006-82 if the applicable region includes any county on this list. This extension will continue until the end of the taxpayer’s first taxable year ending after a drought-free year for the applicable region.

SECTION 4. DRAFTING INFORMATION The principal author of this notice is Lewis Saideman of the Office of Associate Chief Counsel (Income Tax & Accounting). For further information regarding this notice, please contact Mr. Saideman at (202) 317-7006 (not a toll-free call).

Une orange des osages...vous connaissiez ? par gregory lejeune

[euthanaja]

Jumped back onto tumblr and they changed the blue color? Fuck nah, my dude.

Just came here to say I feel so fucking lonely. I’m on meds now and it’s just fine, but I am so irritable and angry and I don’t know what to do, or how to manage it.

I’m pissed at my mom for fucking with her meds again. I hate that I just have to deal with her being like this, on another planet. I feel abandoned all over again.

It reminds me of all the hospitalizations and psychotic episodes. Of the hyper-religious-quasi-hallucinations, where she told me “we don’t have to be afraid to die, because God will protect us.”

I remember getting off the bus and being excited to see both my mom and dad were home, only for dad to usher us into the car and tell us we were taking mom to the hospital. That’s like the moment. That is the summary.

I remember when she threw herself down a staircase on the 5th floor during one of the first times she went to Memorial. I remember not knowing where she was while on that trip with Janet and friends, where she chucked her wedding ring, lighter, and cell phone out the window. I remember when she broke her ankle while we were in DC, and Nancy ragging on her while undressing and showering me in the campground bathrooms. I remember her telling my dad over and over, “they’re crying, the kids are crying, your mom is crying, I have to check on Eric, I can hear him crying.” And I was crying, because how fucked up is that?

I remember her favoritism for Eric. Who even knows why that was the case. I remember feeling resentful of her all the way back to childhood; when she’d give me things, and I’d feel guilty for not wanting them. I remember wanting her to pick up the phone when we called, and then not caring anymore when she didn’t. I remember her shitty boyfriends who chewed tobacco or walked with a limp. I threw osage oranges and water balloons at that PT Cruiser because I hated them. I remember how she lost her license. I remember when I’d only see her Wednesday nights. I remember when she told us she loved god more than us.

I remember going to her house to clean up the bathroom after she tried to overdose on sleeping pills. Somehow, there was blood on the floor.

I remember feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable to have her near me for the remainder of April and May.

I hate feeling like I’ve kept a catalogue of all of these horrible fucking things. I do not want to feel like a victim. I don’t want to feel like a statistic. I don’t want to feel fucked up and angry like that, like her, empty-until-filled. Codependent, accusatory, scared. Still angry at her husband- who she’s been with for a decade- the same way I get irked by my ex-boyfriend. Childish, illogical, stunted. 

But the creme de la creme of all of this is I have never been able to talk about it with the people I love most.

It’s taken years to talk to dad. Last spring was the first time I talked to Piper about this. I don’t think anyone in my immediate friend group anymore even knows because nobody was there to see it, and that’s the only way you can understand.

It’s the same way I felt about telling Eric (not brother) about how much I actually wanted to kill myself last year. How do you tell someone you love something like that? It makes them afraid of you, and pull away, because they can’t help you. I haven’t even bothered to tell him anything about this stuff because I would just be left feeling rejected on top of being alone.

I feel so sour and angry. I fucking hate being like this at home and at work, especially since we have been insanely busy lately and I’m exhausted. It makes me want to quit. I just want to sleep. I just want to be alone so the feeling is justified. I want to break my phone. I want to sleep.

Luz Medina Bonta

Article by Mark A. Bonta

In October 2010, Luz Medina Bonta’s Madreselva Collection – 15 silk, cotton, and bark cloth outfits colored with natural dyes – premiered on the runway at Fashion Week Honduras. This marked the first time that truly ecological fashion had been on display in that country, and the first foray into high fashion for a Honduran-born artist based in the Mississippi Delta. But most notable about the Madreselva Collection is the fact that it is the culmination of a non-profit effort supported by the United Nations Development Program, the Honduran government, and the indigenous development organization MOPAWI to showcase the skills and potential of indigenous Miskita women artisans from the remote Mosquito Coast region.

The project, Bonta’s brainchild, demonstrated decisively that traditional Honduran natural dyeing and color-fixing techniques, when combined with the expertise of a trained artist, can lead to the creation of clothing of sufficiently high quality to be attractive in even the most demanding of markets. This is a far cry from the typical emphasis on handicrafts for the tourist trade, and has potential to return a much higher profit to local artisans. Bonta, who herself grew up in small Honduran town, is keenly familiar with the struggles of impoverished rural women in her country, who are particularly marginalized in the Mosquito Coast and in her own home province of Olancho, along the rainforest frontier. Indeed, Bonta’s entire professional trajectory has been grounded in the realities of daily life in the Honduran ‘outback,’ one of the most underdeveloped terrains in the Americas.

Luz Medina Bonta, growing up in Juticalpa in the 1980s, first became fascinated with natural dyes through observing the turmeric (curcuma or yuquilla) and annatto (achiote) her grandmother put in foods to turn them a pleasing yellow or orange. But by that time Honduras, like almost every country, had been using synthetic dyes for its fabrics for over a century, and natural dyes were retained only for certain household uses, an important part of the culture but a distressing loss when you consider that at one time, native indigo had been the major ingredient of ‘Mayan Blue’ used by the rulers and scribes of the great city-state of Copán in western Honduras. Indeed, Honduras, part of the vast cultural domain of Mesoamerica that gave the world such staples as corn, tobacco, and several races of cotton, had known cochineal dye from the scale insect, purple dye from molluscs, and numerous natural colors of all hues from the amazing diversity of plants that grew in its forests and grasslands. After contact with Europeans, Honduras came to play a key role in the international dye trade—which at one time was centrally important in the world economy—and was particularly known for its brazilwood and fustic.

But as is always the case, as the centuries wore on, only the remotest of Honduran communities—often those that were still indigenous—retained knowledge of these and dozens of other natural dyes. But even where the plants and some of the dyeing practices are still remembered, natural colors typically only emerge through the work that certain cooperatives do in creating handicrafts. Even on the Mosquito Coast, as Bonta discovered, only a few of the many local natural dye plants are still used regularly, and in most cases the necessary color fixing techniques have been lost or neglected; without these mordants – which can often be obtained from alum or various muds – cloth easily fades in the sun and colors run upon washing.

The rescue of Mesoamerican dyeing techniques is already well advanced in countries such as Mexico and El Salvador, but lags far behind in Honduras. Bonta’s years of experimentation as a student in the fiber laboratory at Delta State University—often with local plants such as osage orange, elderberry, and goldenrod—had shown her the potential of such dyes, and also their generally benign effects on human health. By contrast, synthetic dyes, not to mention certain mordants, can be extremely hazardous. But natural dyeing is far more than producing ‘natural colors’—it also is compatible with a wide range of stamping, tie-dyeing, Shibori, and other techniques, and like all textile art, demands a high degree of imagination and skill in the elements of design. The production of a naturally-dyed AND (and mordanted fabric) is labor-intensive, but the next step—the creation of a wearable garment that is attractive to potential consumers—adds several more layers of complexity. Nevertheless, Bonta believed it possible to start ‘at the tree’ so to speak, literally in the middle of the Honduran rain forest, and end up on the runway, without the use of synthetics and without damaging the environment. That is to say, the entire process of creating the Madreselva Collection was to be sustainable and earth-friendly to the maximum extent possible.

It went without saying, then, that the natural dyes had to be applied to natural fibers. Honduras, while once an important producer of cotton, today is known primarily for bark cloth (tuno and tuno blanco) harvested from certain trees, including a species of rubber. The fabric that results is highly versatile and receives several natural dyes extremely well; Bonta worked with these on the Mosquito Coast as well as with raw cotton and various silks that were not available locally. During the course of summer seminars with the Miskita women, Bonta not only worked with the dyes the women were already using for handicrafts, but also introduced dyeing with the sawdust of mahogany from a local sustainable-harvest cooperative, and with the wood from branches of various other rainforest trees. In another part of the country, Bonta obtained sawdust from a ‘waste tree’ known as palo de brasil— the brazilwood or brasiletto, once one of the most famous sources of red hues and now a forgotten species. Once the requisite amount of fabric had been prepared, it was ‘simply’ a matter of having the 15 outfits sewn, as well as training 15 volunteer models and dealing with all the other minutiae involved in putting on a runway show. In Bonta’s case, this was mostly achieved long-distance, via Facebook, as she had commitments in Mississippi up until almost the last minute. This included some desperate fundraising in the Delta, as the funds provided in Honduras had run out, and not doing the show was not an option. Indeed, the stateside fundraising showed just how interested many people were in this unique effort to marry indigenous artisanry and the ‘save the rainforest’ mantra with ecologically-sustainable fashion. In addition, the ‘tree to runway’ demonstration project is also the topic of Bonta’s presentation at the International Symposium and Exhibition on Natural Dyes (ISEND-2011) in La Rochelle, France, where she will hopefully be joined by two of the Miskita women involved.

As has been hinted at several times, there are many benefits for an income-strapped country like Honduras in the rescue of natural dyes and fibers. If a fair-trade model can prevail and a demand develops, then income generation for small producer groups will follow. Natural dye sources are found throughout the country, not just in the rainforest: indeed, any community can start a dye garden and quickly grow their own dyes, which have value on their own (particularly well-known ones such as indigo and brazilwood). Most importantly for many, the harvesting of dye materials can be sustainable, through the removal of fallen limbs and other non-harmful practices; this is particularly attractive for conservationists looking for ways that local communities can be enticed to preserve natural resources. Of course, successful initiatives, especially those that seek internationally-recognized certification, need to adhere to strict environmental standards, since even the use of firewood for heating dye pots, and disposal of waste materials, has to be done in an ecologically correct manner.

There is also the matter of accessories: Bonta was delighted to discover that the women of Krausirpi, along the Patuca River in the Mosquitia, are already producing naturally-dyed handbags woven of majao, a fiber from the bark of certain trees. Using her ceramics skills, she also made the jewelry for the Madreselva Collection, and she points out that small-scale pottery production still exists in Honduras, thus there is plenty of potential for artesanal involvement in the creation of a wide range of fashion accessories.

Realizing that all the supply in the world comes to naught if the demand is not there—and the means to connect the two--Luz Medina Bonta brought her demo collection back to Mississippi to begin the arduous task of promoting the Madreselva Collection overseas, helping it stand out in the burgeoning ecofashion world, on a shoestring budget but with strong ties to the Delta artist and university community, and via Facebook with kindred souls across the planet. She hopes to attract interest in what she has done and what she can do, and by extension what the women of Honduras can do, if somebody invests in them and helps them connect to the world.

This is the capital of Burgundy, you should believe that you can immerse yourself in wine.

Well, not literally: But all around this beautiful country town are names that resound in the wine world, like Santenay and Pommard, so you can go out and sample Grands crus. and visit the illustrious vineyards for days. In Burgundy, the food is also superb so you’re going to have a pretty indulgent holiday, and can work it off with easy walks or bike rides in the celebrated Côte by the vines. Let's explore the best things to do in Beaune.

[toc]

1. Old Beaune

Beaune’s ramparts circle the town for 2.5 kilometers, with towers and bastions best seen at the Château de Beaune. While it isn’t possible to see every stone of the walls, because they are often adapted to private homes and shops, you can pass an agreeable hour or two tracking their route.

The last remaining gate is Porte Saint-Nicolas at the old north entrance of the town. The most refined bit is on Rue de Rempart des Lions, where a 17th-century balustrade and stairway leading up to a beautiful arboretum with an osage orange tree and Chinese Ginkgo Biloba.

2. Hôtel-Dieu

A late medieval masterpiece, Hôtel-Dieu is an almshouse and hospice dating from 1443 and ordered by the Duke of Burgundy Nicolas Rolin. It is configured around an inner courtyard with a downstairs porch with columns supporting a beautiful gallery running around the first floor.

The roof, with gabled dormers, is a fine example of the glazed tile patterns typical in the Burgundy region. And that’s just the exterior! Inside, you should not waste time watching the Beaune Altar of Rogier van der Weyden, a polyptych of 15 paintings commissioned for the almshouse and completed in 1450.

3. Wine Region

Beaune is the capital of the Burgundy wine region and fans' eyes will light up when you leave the list of local vineyards to town: Meursauly, Pommard, Santenay, La Romanée-Conti, Corton-Charlemagne, it Just continue and on.

You’ll be right at the center of a long tranche of grand cru-producing vineyards from Santenay up to Dijon, where almost every hillside is imbued with special meaning for wine-lovers.

So, there is no other choice but to explore as many reputable names as possible, enter caves and wineries, taste the best wine in the world, meet the people who make it and take advantage of it. Enjoy life in the green countryside and the unique atmosphere of this wine paradise.

4. Local Wine Experiences

And you've won even need to leave Beaune to start your journey. Just in front of the hotel-Dieu, there's Marché aux Vins, a great introduction to Burgundy, offering tasting sessions for a common cross-section of regional wines, among them some Great - if you please pay a small reward.

Also in Beaune, just a few streets from the town hall is the cave of merchant and winemaker Patriarche Pere et Fils.

You will be led down to the largest wine cellar in Burgundy, with five kilometers of artificial tunnels and will be able to taste 13 different wines with a souvenir metal cup that you can take home at the end. And if there's a wine with your favorite signal and you can buy it at the end.

5. Château de Savigny

When you plan a visit to this château you might prepare yourself for parterres, tapestries, paintings and such as.

Instead, the Château de Savigny has treasures of a different kind, with a team of 80 fighters in the base (MiGs and Dassaults), as well as 300 classic motorcycles and 35 Abarth sports cars.

Go upstairs for literally thousands of model aircraft, bikes, and cars in cabinets. And then, for a total change, you also have wine growing exhibits, with tractors, wineries and antique craft tools.

That's because Château de Savigny is part of the Côte de Beaune wine region and sells bottles on site.

6. Dalineum

Editor and art collector Jean Amiot has spent a quarter of a century acquiring more than 1,000 works of 20th-century surrealist Salvador Dalí. In 2011, he set them up in a magnificent 18th-century mansion next to the clock tower on Place Monge for everyone to see.

About 150 works from this large collection can be displayed at a time, and these can be drawings, prints, watercolors, gouache, furniture or pictures.

7. Château de la Rochepot

If you like the Dieu hotel-like tiles, you'll love the Château de la Rochepot, where the motifs are even more complicated. The castle feels like a movie set, in the best possible way: Originally built in the 13th century it was the seat of the Lords Pot, who was closely tied to the Dukes of Burgundy.

But as with many castles in the region it suffered in the 18th and 19th centuries before being reconstructed using archived plans and archaeological knowhow to become a rose-tinted and romantic ode to the middle ages.

Compelling fragments of the past endure, like the 70-meter-deep well-hewn from the bedrock.

8. Véloroute

Rent a bike and follow the path from Beaune to Santenay and trek through rolling hills on trails used by vintage collectors for hundreds of years. There’s something satisfying about the geometry of the vines, regimented in perfect rows on the hillsides.

But there are also lots of detours as you ride, from romanesque chapels to villages like Volnay that are both picturesque and bursting with wine pedigree.

9. Basilique Notre-Dame

Burgundy is revered for the Roman wonders, and Beaune has one at Basilique Notre-Dame. Most of these churches are from the 12th century, with the exception of chevet and western portals.

From the church’s earliest days is a statue of the Virgin Mary with Jesus in her lap from the 1100s in the choir. Even more spectacular are the 15th-century tapestries illustrating the life of Mary and the birth of Jesus behind the choir counters. For even better art, Saint-Léger's chapel has frescoes dating from 1530.

10. Parc de la Bouzaize

A short walk from the citadel and back into a vineyard is a quiet little park for quiet walks or picnics. Beaune is par is really a hot spot for family vacations, but if you have little guys with you then you can take them to the zoo to make friends with alpacas, goats, and pigs.

Oranger des Osages (Maclura pomifera) ou bois d'arc

Oranger des Osages (Maclura pomifera) ou bois d’arc

L’oranger des Osages (Maclura pomifera syn. Maclura aurantiaca), mûrier des Osages ou Bois d’Arc, est un arbre qui trouve son origine aux Etats-Unis sur la rive du fleuve Missouri où vivait la tribu des Osages, des amérindiens dont l’extermination était souhaitée pour récupérer le pétrole qui était sur leur réserve, ma

[Eugene Volokh] Short Circuit: A roundup of recent federal court decisions

(Here is the latest edition of the Institute for Justice’s weekly Short Circuit newsletter, written by John Ross.)

Friends, if you’ve been hankering for a primer on the Arizona Constitution’s protections for the right to earn an honest living, which have waxed, waned, and (we hope) may soon wax again, you are in luck. IJ-Arizona attorneys Paul Avelar and Keith Diggs recently published just such a primer in the Arizona State Law Journal. Click here to read it.

Magazine publishes, retracts fabricated account of gang rape at fraternity party. Can three frat brothers who were not identified by name but allege they were readily identified (by friends, family, acquaintances) sue the magazine and the writer? Two can, says the Second Circuit. And (over a dissent) all three can pursue a separate defamation claim concerning whether the article implied that pledges had to participate in (or at least turn a blind eye to) gang rape to join the fraternity.

Palmerton, Penn., high school football player exhibits clear signs of concussion; coach puts him back in. He takes another big hit, sustains brain injury. Third Circuit: The coach could have foreseen that and was deliberately indifferent. But there was no case law at the time alerting him he could be liable, so the student can’t sue.

Allegation: Substitute custodian reluctantly acquiesces to sexual advances of head custodian at Atlantic City, N.J. school, is assigned fewer hours when she ceases to acquiesce. Third Circuit (over a dissent): Though he was only one of the many head custodians at different district schools who could assign her work, he was her supervisor. She can sue the school board.

DEA agents relieve two travelers of $41K at Cleveland airport. (No charges filed.) The travelers file paperwork contesting forfeiture. Prosecutors: In which they failed to detail how they came by the cash, which unfairly burdens our efforts to confirm or disprove their story. The court can’t consider their claims. Sixth Circuit: That is not the rule. The gov’t bears the burden of proof and can’t force property owners to do its work for it.

Milwaukee jail officer tells detainee suspected of faking medical distress that he’s to be treated like an animal. Officers don’t render aid when he writhes on the floor, moans, drools, spits, soils himself, bleeds, says he can’t breathe. He dies. District court: Qualified immunity and pay $300K sanctions and attorneys’ fees for (among other things) bringing baseless claims against parties who were only in contact briefly (if at all) with the deceased. Seventh Circuit: No qualified immunity and reconsider whether sanctions are appropriate.

Chicago law bans pet shops from obtaining animals from private breeders; pups must come from city shelters or nonprofits. Seventh Circuit (over a dissent): No need to let plaintiffs present evidence that the ban actually harms animals while disproportionately burdening out-of-state breeders (thus violating the Commerce Clause); dismissed on the pleadings.

Dog runs on highway near St. Joseph, Mo.; vehicles swerve at high speed to avoid it. An officer stops traffic, attempts to chase the dog off the highway. No luck. He shoots, wounds it, and administers coup de grâce after it drags itself onto median. Eighth Circuit: Qualified immunity. “A dog owner’s protected property interest wanes if her pet escapes.”

A San Francisco law requiring warning labels on soda and other sugary drinks is deceptive and likely violates the First Amendment, says the Ninth Circuit (with pictures). However, if officials tweak the language a little bit so as to say overconsumption of sugar may contribute to ill health…

To resolve lawsuit filed by the DOJ, Seattle police department adopts policy requiring officers to attempt de-escalation (when possible) and use reasonable force to resolve tense situations. (A federal compliance monitor reports that officers’ use of force has since declined significantly without increased crime or injuries to officers.) Police officers: The policy violates our Second Amendment right to self-defense. Ninth Circuit: Novel but no.

Man purchases “Cobra Sexual Energy” dietary supplement, finds it does not enhance his sexual performance or imbue him with “animal magnetism.” May his class action proceed even though the deadline to appeal may have passed? Ninth Circuit: There’s a circuit split on the issue, but we say yes.

Orange County, Calif., officers looking for son arrest father, a septuagenarian, tearing his rotator cuff. Realizing their mistake, they search the father’s home, going through drawers and cabinets where the son obviously won’t be found. Ninth Circuit: No qualified immunity for allegedly keeping the father handcuffed in patrol car in retaliation for his argumentativeness. But (over a dissent) he can’t press his excessive force claim. (Perhaps the father was feeling argumentative because of a previous warrantless raid.)

A California ban on force-feeding ducks and geese is not preempted by federal law, says the Ninth Circuit. Californians may still obtain foie gras, however, so long as it’s from non-force-fed fowl.

Reasoning that coal mining at two sites on Wyoming’s Powder River Basin (which produce 20 percent of the nation’s annual coal supply) will not impact climate change, the feds permit mining to continue. Tenth Circuit: No need to vacate the permits just now, but that does not make sense. Concurrence: We should have reached this result without commenting on the merits of climate science, which is not so settled as the majority suggests.

To get the premium features cable TV provider provides, one must rent a set-top box from the provider — and not from competitors (who do not currently exist but might emerge). Antitrust violation? Jury: Yup. Pay $6.31 mil damages. Tenth Circuit (over a dissent): Actually, no.

Company builds wind farm on private land in Osage County, Okla., digs up rocks, crushes them and pours them into the (10-foot-deep, 60-foot-wide) foundations for the turbines. Tenth Circuit: Which is mining. The company needed a federal mining permit.

District court: Fracking regulations promulgated by the Obama administration are invalid; the Bureau of Land Management needed the OK from Congress before creating them. Tenth Circuit: The case is prudentially unripe, as the current administration is in the process of withdrawing the rules.

Woman suing employer for discrimination fails to disclose the lawsuit as an asset in bankruptcy filings. Must the suit be dismissed? Overturning circuit precedent, the en banc Eleventh Circuit says no, not necessarily. If the trial judge thinks the plaintiff made an honest mistake, the case can proceed.

Police find man suspected of sexual assault, armed robbery with the complainants’ property. He’s convicted. D.C. Court of Appeals (over a dissent): Reversed. Police needed a warrant to locate him with a stingray device, which tricks cellphones into revealing their location.

Last week, Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner signed a civil forfeiture reform bill into law, making Illinois the 25th state to strengthen protections for property owners. The law eliminates the state’s “cost bond” requirement (which forced property owners to put down a bond — the greater of $100 or 10 percent of their property’s value) to challenge a forfeiture, shifts the burden of proof from property owners to the state, and institutes new auditing and reporting requirements.
