Review"A tale that will delight and reward its reader." -- Rabbi Geoff Dennis, author of The Encyclopedia of Jewish Myth, Magic, and Mysticism"I loved it from the opening pitch to the surprise, walk-off ending." -- Jim Langford, author of , The Cub Fan's Guide to Life and The Cub Fan's Book of DaysProduct DescriptionDetermined to bring his wife out of her own slump, Rabbi Jay Loeb practices a bit of magic based in the ancient Jewish mystical tradition of Kabbalah to help the perennial underdogs, the Chicago Cubs, win the World Series. In this modern-day tale, the rabbi suspects that his wife, Tamara, is having an affair. However, he feels no relief upon learning that her true obsession, and the cause of her erratic behavior, happens to be the hapless Chicago Cubs, whose prospects for the pennant are no better that year than they had been since they last appeared in the World Series in 1945. With his wife's law practice, family life, and health in jeopardy, Rabbi Loeb takes matters into his own hands and secretly performs a kabbalistic ritual in Wrigley Field that removes the park's legendary Billy Goat Curse. While the Cubs become invincible at home, they continue to struggle on the road, and upon discovering the cause of their new-found success, Cubs management commissions Rabbi Loeb to apply his kabbalistic knowledge to help the team go all the way. Ever mindful of his desire to restore his wife's well-being, Rabbi Loeb takes measures to neutralize other curses that have plagued the team?and help the players develop the spiritual strength they need to prevail.From the PublisherAvailable October 15, 2005.From the Inside FlapRabbi Jay Loeb fears that his wife, Tamara, is having an affair.

Fascinating history of the Hagerstown & Frederick Railway in the Allegheny region of Maryland. Begun as an amalgamation of several smaller electric railways, the line never really prospered but it created fond memories among its riders and lasted until 1947. But although the railway declined, the electric utility branch prospered and grew into the dominant electric company in a four-state area -- the Potomac Edison Co. (now FirstEnergy). This is a loving look at a trolley system that served Maryland for over 50 years. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos. With equipment rosters and maps. Decorative end papers showcase a 2 page map of the system. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.

Zustand: Used - Very Good. The first four chapters introduce the special characteristics of the Federal Criminal Law and trace its growth through expanding jurisdictional elements as well as increased substantive coverage while posing the challenging question of how to deal with the dissonance between a very broad criminal law authority and very limited resources.Specific crimes and criminal enforcement areas are again treated, each in its own separate chapter, and the federalism themes treated at the beginning of the volume are reduxed in the final chapter on duplicative state and federal crime prosecutions.Six new chapters have been added. A new overview chapter on Official Corruption takes an integrated look at the federal criminal statutes dealing with that subject, and another new overview chapter compares all of the federal offenses dealing with group and organizational crime including RICO, CCE, the Travel Act, the Gambling Business statute and the new Continuing Financial Crimes enterprise statute. These new overview chapters develop broad themes common to these different crime categories which are difficult to address adequately in any of the individual crime chapters.This edition also adds new chapters dealing with Official Bribery, Conspiracy, the Sentencing Guidelines (including the November 1992 amendments), and Forfeiture. In addition, it builds the material on the Hobbs Act into a separate chapter as well as adding an important new section on Bank Fraud to the Mail Fraud chapter.Existing chapters dealing with Mail Fraud, RICO, Drug Offenses, Money Laundering, False Statements and Civil Rights have also been substantially revised and expanded to emphasize new cases, statutory changes and current enforcement strategies.The chapter on Drug Offenses, reflecting the enormous increase in federal drug prosecutions, has been expanded to include materials on the federal penalty scheme for drug offenses; the extraterritorial application of the drug laws; and the impact of federal drug prosecution on the operations of the federal court system.The Mail Fraud chapter examines the Supreme Court's decisions in the McNally and the Carpenter cases and considers the implications of those cases in light of the enactment of 18 U.S.C. 1346. The RICO chapter presents new cases dealing with the enterprise and pattern requirements as well as an expanded section on Civil RICO. The Civil Rights chapter adds a section on excessive force in arrests, allowing consideration of cases like the prosecution of the police officers in the Rodney King case, and the False Statements chapter now includes the Poindexter decision as well as other new cases.Finally, like the earlier volume, the second edition includes extensive material from the United States Attorney's Manual, including the prosecutorial guidelines on RICO, drug enforcement, money laundering, mail fraud and forfeiture. Legislative proposals for reform of the different areas of the federal criminal law are also sprinkled throughout the book.The materials are intended to be taught in a two or three hour (semester) second or third year course, or in a first year second semester criminal law offering following a traditional, introductory first semester course in Criminal Law.
