The New York Court of Appeals carved out a rather large exception when it ruled that a man could not be accused of certain child pornography charges because he did not "possess" the images - he'd viewed them online. And in early 2011, the Oregon Supreme Court similarly ruled that viewing images on a website did not equate to "possession." These cases suggest that in order to show possession of files or images, prosecutors must prove that a defendant downloaded, saved, or printed them. Images or files discovered in a defendant's browser cache will ...

It's no secret that texting while driving is dangerous. Distracted driving causes devastating accidents, prompting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recommend all states ban the use of phones in vehicles entirely. At least 35 states have already enacted prohibitions on texting while driving, but not Florida. Efforts to enact a texting ban in Florida have failed several times, most recently in 2012. Observers say the Legislature views a ban on texting as an unwanted government intrusion into a personal decision. The lack of a ban leaves drivers free ...

New York is not alone in promoting bicycle riding through a bike share program. In fact, New York is coming rather late to the party. Many other cities, including Washington, D.C., Chicago, Denver, Des Moines, Miami Beach and Minneapolis, have established programs for bicycle sharing. European cities such as Paris, Barcelona and London have embraced bike sharing as a way to reduce pollution and traffic congestion. Sometimes it seems as if there are no downsides to bike sharing programs, which promote health and fitness, are inexpensive for riders and improve air quality. ...

Same-sex marriage is against the law in Arkansas. However, this doesn't mean that same-sex couples don't join households, start families and live together as if they were married. It simply means that they do this without the legal protections afforded to heterosexual couples. As a result, child custody matters are more complicated when gay or lesbian parents are involved. Absent federal action, it is unlikely that this will change anytime soon. Arkansas has a constitutional amendment that explicitly defines marriage as being between one man and one woman. In addition, ...

When a Florida man bought his home, half of a duplex, in 2006, little did he know that by 2012 this purchase would send him through foreclosure and into a court battle that could dramatically change the way foreclosure lawsuits are handled in Florida. The man, a construction worker, bought his home near the peak of the United States housing boom for just over $200,000. He put 20 percent down and financed the rest through Bank of America. When the economic downturn hit the country, the man struggled to find work and began missing his monthly mortgage payments, which ...

Researchers at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine have discovered a genetic process that can restore function to a defective protein, which is the most common cause of cystic fibrosis (CF). Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease caused by mutations in a gene that adversely affect its protein product. In its correct form and cellular location, this protein, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), functions as a channel for ions to move across cell membranes, and is critical for maintaining cellular salt and water balance. The most ...

INFECTIOUS DISEASE Improving human immunity to malaria The deadlist form of malaria is caused the protozoan Plasmodium falciparum.
