When you are arrested, you are taken into custody. This means that you are not free to leave the scene. Without being arrested, however, you still could be detained or held for questioning for a short time if a police officer or other person believes you may be involved in a crime. For example, an officer may detain you if you are carrying a large box near a recent burglary site. Storekeepers also can detain you if they suspect you have stolen something.
Whether you are arrested or detained, you do not have to answer any questions except to give your name and address and show some identification if requested.
You have certain rights if you are arrested. Before the law enforcement officer questions you, he or she should tell you that:
These are your Miranda rights, guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. If you are not given these warnings, your lawyer can ask that any statements you made to the police not be used against you in court. But this does not necessarily mean that your case will be dismissed. And this does not apply if you volunteer information without being questioned by the police.
You can be questioned, without a lawyer present, only if you voluntarily give up your rights and if you understand what you are giving up. If you agree to the questioning and then change your mind, the questioning must stop as soon as you say so or as soon as you say that you want a lawyer. If the questioning continues after you request a lawyer and you continue to talk, your answers can be used against you if you testify to something different.
You may be required to give certain physical evidence. For example, if you are suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol, you may be requested to take a test to measure the amount of alcohol in your system. If you refuse to take the test, your driver's license will be suspended and the refusal will be used against you in court.
Once you have been arrested, you have a right to make and complete three free telephone calls within the local dialing area. Any additional calls made from jail must be collect calls.
If you are arrested for a crime, particularly a serious one, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible. He or she has a better sense of what you should and should not say to law enforcement officers to avoid being misinterpreted or misunderstood. The lawyer also can advise you or your family or friends on the bail process.
If you can afford a lawyer but do not know one, ask a friend, co-worker, employer or business associate to recommend one. In addition, you may want to look for a qualified criminal law attorney.
In your search for a lawyer, you might call a State Bar-certified lawyer referral service in your area. For an online list of certified lawyer referral services, visit the State Bar's Web site at www.calbar.ca.gov/lrs.
Or, for the phone numbers of certified services in your county, call 1-866-44-CA-LAW (442-2529). Out-of-state callers can call 415-538-2250 to hear the same message. Or check the Yellow Pages of your telephone directory for listings under "Attorney Referral Service."
State Bar-certified lawyer referral services, which must meet minimum standards established by the California Supreme Court, can help you find the right lawyer for your particular situation. Most of these services offer half-hour consultations for a modest fee. (Lawyer referral service fees do vary. Don't forget to ask whether there is a fee for the referral or initial consultation.)
Attorneys who are members of State Bar-certified lawyer referral services must carry insurance, agree to fee arbitration for fee disputes, meet certain standards of experience and be State Bar members in good standing.
In addition, the State Bar certifies "specialists" in nine legal areas, including criminal law. The designation of "specialist" means that the attorney has met certain standards. However, there are lawyers with experience and expertise in criminal law who do not seek such certification. For a list of specialists, go to www.californiaspecialist.org. Or call the State Bar at 415-538-2120. You can also request free informational brochures on the State Bar's certified specialist program.
If you do decide to hire a lawyer, make sure you understand what you will be paying for, how much it will cost and when you will be expected to pay your bill. If you belong to a legal insurance plan as an individual or through your company, labor or credit union, the plan may provide a lawyer to represent you. Ask for a lawyer who is qualified in criminal law.

The U.S. Constitution guarantees everyone charged with a crime the right to legal counsel. A public defender, or other court-appointed attorney, will be appointed for you if you cannot afford to hire an attorney on your own.
Public defenders are experienced trial attorneys who specialize in criminal law. They are there to represent your best interests and do not work for the courts, prosecutors or police.
All law enforcement officers can arrest you whether they are on or off duty, in most cases. Probation and parole officers also can arrest you.
If they have probable cause or good reason to believe you committed a felony, they can arrest you even if they do not have an arrest warrant. (A felony is the most serious type of crime and is usually punishable by imprisonment for more than a year. A misdemeanor is usually punishable by a fine or short jail term.) They do not have to see you commit a felony in order to arrest you. They do, however, have to see you commit a misdemeanor in order to arrest you.
If you commit an infraction, they may ask you to sign a citation or notice instead of taking you into custody. An infraction is a minor offense, such as a moving violation, for which the punishment is usually a fine. If you sign the citation, you are not admitting guilt. You are only promising to appear in court. If you have no identification or refuse to sign, however, an officer may take you into custody.
Anyone can make a citizen's arrest if he or she sees a misdemeanor being attempted or committed. He or she also can make a legal arrest for a felony as long as it actually was committed, and he or she has good reason to believe you did it. He or she must take you to a police officer or judge who is required by law to take you into custody.
A warrant is usually required before you can be taken into custody in your home. (You can, however, be arrested at home without a warrant if fast action is needed to prevent you from escaping, destroying evidence, endangering someone's life or seriously damaging property.)
The arrest warrant must be signed by a magistrate or judge, who must have good reason to believe that you committed a crime.
Once an arrest warrant is issued, any law enforcement officer in the state can arrest you -- even if the officer does not have a copy of the warrant. Generally, there is no time limit on using a warrant to make an arrest.
If the police have an arrest warrant, you should be allowed to see it. If they don't have the warrant with them, you should be allowed to see it as soon as is practical.
Before entering your home, a law enforcement officer generally must knock, identify him or herself and tell you that you are going to be arrested. If you refuse to open the door -- or if there is another good reason -- the officer can break in through a door or window.
The police may search the area within your reach. If you are arrested outdoors, they generally cannot search your home or car.
Resisting an arrest or detention is a crime. If you resist arrest, you can be charged with a misdemeanor or felony in addition to the crime for which you are being arrested. If you resist, an officer can use force to overcome your resistance or prevent your escape. The officer can even use deadly force if it appears that you will use force to cause serious injury.
If, during the questioning before any charges are filed, the police are convinced that you have not committed a crime, they will give you a written release. Your arrest would then be considered a detention and not be recorded as an arrest.
The amount of bail - money or other security deposited with the court to insure that you will appear - is set by a schedule in each county. For some traffic citations, you may be notified that you can forfeit or give up bail instead of appearing in court.
However, if you have any doubt, go to court so that a new warrant is not issued for your arrest for failing to appear. (For traffic citations, a "bail forfeiture" works as a conviction for the violation.)
Bail forfeiture does not apply to misdemeanors and felonies, however, and you must appear in court. If you fail to appear in court, your bail will be lost and a new warrant will be issued for your arrest. Officers at the jail may be able to accept bail. If you cannot post or put up the bail, you will be kept in custody. You will have an opportunity to request a bail reduction or a bail review hearing when you appear in court.
When you are taken to court for bail setting or release, the judge will consider the seriousness of the offense with which you are charged, any prior failures to appear (even for traffic tickets), any previous criminal record and your connections to the community, as well as the probability that you will appear in court. Generally, the amount of bail is set according to a written schedule based on your charges.
Instead of paying bail, you might be released on your own recognizance or "O.R." (or "supervised O.R."). This means that you do not have to pay bail because the judge believes you will show up for your court appearances without bail.
Local police departments and the state Department of Justice keep arrest records. By law, they cannot show such records to anyone except law enforcement officers, and may only show records of your convictions to certain licensing agencies that have a right by state law to investigate your criminal background.
Your arrest record includes when and why you were arrested, whether the charges against you were dropped or whether you were convicted of the charges and the subsequent sentence imposed. Pleading guilty and being found guilty after a trial both count as convictions.
If you are convicted, are put on probation and successfully complete the probation, you may be able to have the conviction set aside and the case dismissed. This may be helpful for employment background checks after the probation is completed.
If you are convicted of certain felonies and you successfully complete probation, you may ask that the felony be reduced to a misdemeanor. Your attorney will be able to assist you with a reduction and possible expungement of your record.
You will stand in front of a judge and enter a plea to the criminal charges filed against you. If you have been arrested, you have the right to be arraigned on any charges without unnecessary delay, usually within two court days. In addition, an attorney may be appointed for you if you cannot afford one. And if you do not understand English, you have the right to have an interpreter throughout the proceedings as well.
At the arraignment, you can plead guilty or not guilty. Or, if the court approves, you can plead nolo contendere (which means no contest). Legally, this is the same as a guilty plea, but it cannot be used against you in a non-criminal case unless the charge could be punished as a felony. You should consult with an attorney, however, before entering any kind of plea.
Before pleading guilty to some first-time offenses, such as drug use or possession in small amounts for personal use, you may want to find out if there is a drug court program in your county. If you agree to participate in such a program, the judge will order you to get counseling or complete a drug treatment program (instead of paying a fine or going to jail). And if you successfully complete the program, the charges against you could be dismissed.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, your bail also might be raised or reduced during your arraignment. Or you could ask to be released on O.R. -- even if bail has already been set.
If the misdemeanor charges are not dropped and you do not enter a guilty or no-contest plea, a trial will be held. If you have been charged with a felony, however, the process will be a little different. If the felony charge is not dropped and you do not plead guilty or no-contest, you will face a preliminary hearing before your case can go to trial. And before the trial, there will be other court appearances as well. The charges against you might be dismissed for some reason, or you might decide to change your plea, before a trial ever takes place.
During the preliminary hearing (usually within 10 court days of the arraignment), the district attorney's office must present evidence showing a reasonable suspicion that a felony was committed and that you did it. The judge must be convinced that there is sufficient evidence to bring you to trial. If the judge does not dismiss the charges after the preliminary hearing, a jury trial date will be set.
An officer can always conduct a search with your consent or with a search warrant. You have a right, however, to see the warrant before the search begins.
If you, your home or your car is searched illegally, a judge might say that any evidence found during the search cannot be used against you in court. If you or your lawyer, however, do not object to the evidence before trial, the court might allow the evidence to be used. Even if the judge does decide that the evidence cannot be used against you, it does not always mean that your case will be dismissed.
The purpose of this pamphlet is to provide general information on the law, which is subject to change. It is not legal advice. Consult a lawyer if you have a specific legal problem.

Now if only we could find a way to clone her, we'd be all set!
Good news, Chasters! While I'm sure you're all growing impatient waiting for Charice's next episode of Glee to air, I've discovered a way for you to get your temporary Charice fix. The world's most talented girl is featured in a new exhibit, launched by the "Allure" section of The Philippine Star, celebrating National Women's Month — and I couldn't think of anyone more deserving.
The exhibit will run through March 21, so what are you waiting for? Get thee to the Philippines!

I'm posting this for Gail (iluvtodd). Thanks so much for sharing it!
Hi, there. We attended SOI last night in Northern NJ, and it was wonderful. Here are a few of my thoughts about. I'm sure Tara will comment on it when she has a chance. I like how the show started with the screen and that spinning star going through space. Following that, there were acknowledgments of the cast Olympians from 1992 to the present (for example - Todd, Yuka - Albertville 1992, Yuka - 1994 - Lillehammer, Todd, Mike - 1998 Nagano, etc.) Meryl & charlie are doing 40 of the 41 shows of the tour. Unfortunately they couldn't be there last night because they were doing the "Ice chips" show in Boston (and I imagine that was an earlier commitment prior to being signed for SOI). They will do their Indian Dance OD for the rest of the tour and a duet with Tanith & Ben. Guest skaters included Mirai Nagasu. she did her Pirates of the Caribbean program (and was pretty much on in this performance). Rachel Flatt skated to "Someday I'll Fly Away" from "Moulin Rouge" (long time SOI attendees may remember that Kristi & Russian pair skater Denis Petrov did this song very memorably in the year of the controversial "Gold" tour (2002 - controversial yes, but good for us since that's when Todd first joined SOI). She wore a lovely blue dress and skated it beautifully. Sasha did her short program Espana Cani (her SP for this season) - gorgeous dress, extension, spirals, what you'dstumbles but recovered expect from Sasha. Alissa had some stumbles, but she recovered quickly from them, and I still love watching her spins and spirals. Her first program was "You'll Never Walk Alone," sung by Barbra Streisand, which I think suited her well. her second program was "I Like the Way," a rather upbeat, "sexy" kind of program (a real departure for her - I prefer the "other" Alissa, but that's OK by me). The Flower Duet with Sasha and Alissa was lovely. It was like "mirror" skating. Jeremy skated to Symphony #3 )Camille Saint Saens - was this his free skate program? and Michael Buble's version of "At This Moment." I can't identify the jumps, but he seemed "on." Mike skated to "You're Still You," by Josh Groban, and dedicated it to his wife Lisa. I don't think the song lends itself to backflips, but he did one anyway, and I don;t think people minded that t all. he always gets a great response for that. His other program was "keep Your Hands to Yourself." I'm not familiar with the song. it's sort of country rock, but I liked his moves, good spins, the freedom blades move, the backflip, and some moves where he slides on his knees (Todd does that sometimes). Yuka is a joy, always smiling, whether she's skating to "It don't mean a thing" (in a cute polka dot dress - for a moment it reminded me of seeing Kristi). Her second number was "Clair de Lune" (Debussy). Her blades are so quiet, and she is so elegant on the ice. I never get tired of watching her skate. Evan did one program -"man in the Mirror," 9the Michael Jackson song), complete with white sequined glove. he was spot on and very well received.
Tanith & Ben had an adorable program 'If it Kils Me" that tell s story of a youthful friendship (starting from school days) ending with a loving adult friendship on ice. Ben also played the electric guitar in some transitions. That was cool, and he's so cute, especially now that he is clean shaven again.
Todd - what can I say - two great programs. "I Want You to Want Me," by Cheap Trick is not your typical Todd number, but he skated it very well, and flirted with the audience. personally I loved it. his second program was to Elton John's classic "Don't let the Sun Go Down on Me," very well suited to his style. I'm in seventh heaven because he included his terrific Russian Split Jumps, always a treat in addition to his magnificent spins. He just flies across the ice and has such a presence. His costume for the second program was Wyliesque - simple and elegant heaven(dark blue or purple?).
There were a few group numbers - fewer than usual I think because of the fact that this is an Olympic season. For the most part, the core cast skaters were involved with these (Evan came out for the finale). I particularly liked the one that opened Act 2 - "War" with Jeremy, Todd, Yuka, and Mike. it was a program in which each skater dared to add another element on to the previous one. There was also a cute moment when Yuka introduced Jeremy;s second program. He talked about his life long dream to be an Olympian and skate in SOI. Yuka basically said to him to enjoy the experience, but in the summer, we'll have to get down to serious training again, LOL!
At the end of the finale to Kiki Dee's "I've Got the Music in Me," the skaters skated down around the rink. I got to touch Mike's hand, and the skaters threw out plush mini SOI strawberries, similar to the ones from last year, but a smaller version. I caught one, gave it to my friend Andy (she didn't have one from last year), but then I caught another one.
All in all, a great show. I do hope that next year's three tours don't overlap (Japan/US/Canada). We love our US skaters but we also want to see the international cast, a pairs team in every show. I also would like for each skater to get to do two programs. I hope the veterans Todd, Mike, Yuka, and Sasha get to skate in SOI for as long as they'd like and are able to physically, but I do welcome wonderful additions like Tanith and Ben and am very much looking forward to seeing Meryl & charlie next week in Reading, PA. I like the mix of classical, rock, and other genres of music. I'm rather eclectic in my musical taste (personally I also love Broadway and movie soundtracks).
Well that's it. If I think of anything else, I'll pass it on!

Super Lipoic Acid by Seroyal contains alpha lipoic acid' which is also known as ALA. ALA is a fatty acid that plays several roles in the human body. First of all' it's an antioxidant; antioxidants can work to protect your cells by fighting off potentially harmful free radicals. Since it might be able to cross the blood-brain barrier' it may offer additional support to brain and nerve tissues.
In addition' Super Lipoic Acid may encourage energy production. Alpha lipoic acid is responsible for converting glucose—a form of sugar—into the fuel necessary for normal bodily functions.
Although the body naturally produces ALA' some people may need more of it than others. Relatively few foods provide alpha lipoic acid and the ones that do only contain small quantities. Organ meats are among the best dietary sources' which can make it difficult for vegans to fit ALA into their diets.
Fortunately' one serving of Super Lipoic Acid provides 350 milligrams of ALA without animal products. As a result' this supplement may work to potentially alleviate mild symptoms like numbness' weakness' itching' tingling' or pain.
Each 60-capsule bottle of Seroyal's Super Lipoic Acid should last for about one month at the recommended dosage.

Sometimes medical breakthroughs can also bring up nagging ethical questions such as who has access to the data and how much do we want to know if the news about our future is bad?
These kinds of quandaries weigh on the minds of the staff at the Center for Practical Bioethics in Kansas City, formerly known as the Midwest Bioethics Center. They also tackle aging and end of life issues as well as disparities in health care. Myra Christopher led the organization since its launch in 1984, at least until recently when a rare form of ovarian cancer forced her to step down as the center's CEO. She joined Nick Haines to discuss some approaches to these issues.

Impressions of the Burson Audio HA-160D
Pros: Very well-constructed, smooth & warm sound, impactful PRaT, great value product.
Cons: Some may prefer a colder, more analytical sounding DAC/Amp combo.
I first encountered the Burson HA-160D about six months ago when browsing Mike Ting's website,Headfonia. Around that time, one of my goals was to get some new headphones to enhance my enjoyment of listening to music. Though I owned, and still do, the Sennheiser HD 25-1, I wanted to upgrade, and I asked Mike for some headphone system recommendations based on my music-listening preferences. For a DAC/Amp, he recommended something like the Burson HA-160D or the Lavry DA11.
My current main headphone-listening setup now comprises of the Lavry DA10 and Audez'e LCD-2 rev2. That combo has come closest what I was looking for in a headphone system, which is one that would reproduce what sounds natural to me. By natural, I mean the sound of what I hear when I'm at a live concert performance or listening to high-end studio monitor playback. The DA10/LCD-2 combo doesn't sound exactly the same as natural – it's a headphone system after all – but it comes rather close. The DA10 is the most transparent-sounding DAC/Amp I've yet heard, and the DA10/LCD-2 combo presents recordings with much clarity and sonic impact and a tonal colour that I hear as ever so slightly brighter than natural.
When I read Mike Ting's recent post about Burson issuing a HA-160D loaner unit to selected individuals, I immediately emailed him to register my interest. I was still very interested in hearing the HA-160D, especially in comparison with Lavry DA10, and more so with the LCD-2, which I have read has great synergy with the HA-160D. A few weeks later Mike informed me that I'd been selected for the loaner program. Yippee!
I have now had the loaner HA160D for almost a week, and have been enjoyably listening to music with/and it for many hours. Here are my impressions of the HA-160D.
Packaging, build quality, and setup
The loaner Burson HA-160D was securely packaged inside two cardboard boxes with everything separated mostly by packing foam. As soon as I unpacked the HA-160D, it was apparent that it was and is the most solid and well-constructed piece of hi-fi gear I've yet handled. The HA-160D is enjoyable to operate and feels built to last, probably for a lifetime. Weighing in at around 7kg, the HA-160D isn't the most portable DAC/Amp on the market, so if you want a DAC/Amp you can travel with, it's probably best to look elsewhere.
The aluminium-cased HA-160D has a boutique aesthetic that looks solid, focused, and sharp, with a smooth overall finish, which is also how the HA-160D sounds to me; but more on its sonic performance later.
On the front panel of this unit, the input selector switch on the right feels a little wobbly to the touch and delicate to operate, but also feels robust. It feels satisfying to plug my headphones into either of the two headphone input jacks – the left one gives more level for high impedance headphones; the right one give less level for low impedance headphones – and when doing so the Burson stays put on my desk. The volume control of the HA-160D is the centerpiece of the front plate and turns in increments with a solid click, each turn increasing the volume of the LCD-2 rev2 by what sounds to me like 2 dB.
On the rear of the unit there are a variety of inputs and outputs: 1x USB and 1x coaxial input to the DAC, 3x L/R RCA inputs, and 1x L/R preamp output. There is also a power switch with which to turn the unit on and off. FYI: the loaner unit has a clear top that reveals the inner circuitry of the HA-160D, and the retail model has a metal top matching the rest of the casing.
The manual, a basic guide to setting up the HA-160D, is printed on thick paper that feels solid to handle, just like the HA-160D does. The manual states that Burson are a dedicated team who aim to create audiophile products that facilitate maximal musical enjoyment and satisfaction for the listener. I particularly enjoyed that part. I did notice one typo in the text, but overall the manual does its job nicely. More detailed info about the HA-160D and its components such as their opamps and the volume control can be found on the HA-160D page of Burson's website.
The loaner unit wasn't supplied with a power cord, probably due to the different countries the loaner unit would circulate though, but according to the manual, a power cord is usually supplied with the HA-160D. Each of the included 'JSJ' cables – 1x USB, 1x dual RCA, and 1x coaxial – are cast in a blue plastic covering and feel pleasantly pliable. Their smell reminds me of getting a new plastic toy as a child.
I found the HA-160D very simple to set up. Plugging it in and switching it on, connecting it to my laptop via the supplied USB cable, selecting the Burson USB DAC in my system's audio preferences panel, plugging in headphones, and pressing play in iTunes was all it took me to start hearing music with the HA-160D.
Musical performance
My descriptions of the sound of music with/and the HA-160D will be in relation to what sounds 'natural' to me, based on around 15 years experience as a performing and recording musician – more info here – and with the Lavry DA10 DAC/Amp, which I've mainly used with the Audez'e LCD-2 rev2 headphone. FYI: here's what I thought of the LCD-2 rev1, which I enjoy less than the rev2.
For the following impressions, unless stated otherwise, all music played was in Apple Lossless file format played in iTunes and a MacBook Pro. The Burson HA-160D was connected the Mac by thestock USB cable; the Lavry DA10 was connected to the Mac via a JPS Ultra Conductor Toslink Optical Digital cable. The main headphone in use was the Audez'e LCD-2 fitted with its stock cable.
General impressions on the tone of the HA-160D
When I began listening to music with the HA-160D, I noticed that recordings generally sounded warm, lushly and euphonically so, and instruments had a more natural tone than with the DA10; after many hours listening with the HA-160D I still find that to be true.
The HA-160D is revealing of what's on recordings and presents sonic information in a very palpable way, which frequently makes me move to the music, but I find the warm tonal character of the HA-160D, particularly in the treble region, to mystify some of the musical details on recordings, making the HA-160D seem geared less towards purely analytical listening and more towards musical enjoyment.
Sonic specifics of the HA-160D: PRaT, Soundstage, Bass, Mids, and Treble
Since I have limited time with the HA-160D, I'm mainly going to listen to my favourite music. I often listen to a wide range of musical genres/styles and I definitely appreciate well-recorded music, so this review will reflect that. I'll include some tracks from a playlist I created for headphone testing a few months and also some music that is quite new to me. Let's begin.
- R&B – Funk/New Orleans R&B - The Meters – Rejuvenation
The Meters are one of my all-time favourite bands and I often really enjoy hearing them, largely due to the grooves of their drummer Zigaboo Modeliste who is, in my opinion, one of the funkiest drummers of all time. The first thing I noticed when listening to this album through the LCD-2/HA-160D combo was the great visceral impact the music was presented with, even though this recording sounds leaner than many contemporary R&B recordings I've heard. As I type this listening to Jungle Man, I realize that I've been rocking my head and upper body back and forth as well as moving my feet to Ziggy's beats for most of the album – Toetaptastic!
Hearing Ziggy go for it on tracks such as It Ain't No Use is really enjoyable. During his floor tom playing at 10:40 on that song, the drum sound is full and weighty with the HA-160D and slightly less so with the Lavry DA10, which emphasizes the upper frequencies more. At the end of the same floor tom phrase the recording clips; it's more noticeable when listening with the Lavry than the Burson, which recreates that detail more smoothly, making it sound less rough.
Listening to Rejuvenation it occurs to me that although the Lavry and Burson are similarly performing products in a similar price range, the Burson seem geared more towards listening to music casually, rather than listening from a more critical perspective, such as that of a mix-engineer, where being able to hear the smallest sonic details of a recording is very important. But it is certainly possible to peer into the minute details of recordings when listening with the Burson HA-160D.
- Pop/Rock – Soft-Rock/Jazz-Rock – Steely Dan - Aja
Here's a classic album featuring immaculate performances and production throughout. I have heard this album on various systems and it has always sounded quite lean overall, sonically, with a much more analogue presentation than the Dan's noughties studio recordings, Two Against Nature andEverything Must Go.
Through the Burson, the album still sounds very analogue and it is presented with great PRaT. In this album's title track, drummer Steve Gadd's kit around 4:35 and 6:35 sounds warm and every note is clearly distinguishable with palpable impact. The Lavry also exhibits great PRaT in these sections, but it sounds less weighty and slightly leaner than the Burson. The Lavry makes the recording sound brighter overall and there is clearly more treble presence, which makes Gadd's drums sound slightly colder with the resonance of the top/batter head more apparent.
Peg, the second track from this album, is a great showcase for the warmth of the HA-160D/LCD-2 combo. Chuck Rainey's bass-playing sounds quite liquid and the lushly creamy sound of the guitar solo at 1:45 definitely deserves a listen.
- Pop/Rock – Experimental – Captain Beefheart – Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller)
I pulled out this CD from the depths of my collection a few nights ago. Listening to this album is enhanced by the synergy of the HA-160D/LCD-2 combo, which gives a full, deep, warm and smooth presentation that is a treat to hear, especially on songs such as Tropical Hotdog Night and You Know You're a Man. I definitely rocked more to this album with the HA-160D than with the DA10; the lushly euphonic bass presentation of the HA-160D had me smiling and made me want to turn up the volume.
- Pop/Rock – Contemporary Rock/Soft Rock/Jazz-Rock – Donald Fagen – Morph The Cat
The overall tonal presentation this album is very smooth and slick. Hearing the song H-Gang, the warmth of the HA-160D is clear, and many of the nuances of Donald Fagen's vocal track can clearly be heard.
In this album many songs feature layered vocal harmonies, during which the different vocals blend together, closely creating a cozy backdrop for the lead vocal to resonate with. At such times, I couldn't seem to hear the details of the lead vocal with the Burson and found myself plugging the LCD-2 into the Lavry to get a closer look at the image, and though I was then able to see deeper into the mix with the Lavry, the overall tone was slightly rougher than with the Burson. It seems to me that the smooth vocal blend of this album was a mixing choice and not just the result of the tone of the HA-160D/LCD-2 combo, which also has that effect on recordings.
- Pop/Rock – New Orleans R&B/Contemporary Blues – Dr. John – Tribal
On the opening track, Feel Good Music, panned to the left side of the soundstage is the hi-hat, which seems to be played with a stick on the bell of the top cymbal. This creates a higher-frequency sound than when hi-hats are played in the middle or nearer the edge of the top cymbal. There is also a bell sharing the same frequency range on the left side of the soundstage, so there's a quite lot of treble information occupying that part of the recording.
With the HA-160D, I could clearly distinguish between the hi-hat and the bell, as I could with the DA10, which definitely provided slightly more treble energy than the HA-160D. But I found that the timbres of the bells presented by the Burson were easier to differentiate between at that time than with the Lavry, mainly due to the warm impact the Burson presents sonic information with, which gave the bells relatively more weight and body in that instance.
- Jazz – Jazz-Funk/Soul-Jazz – Freddie Hubbard – Red Clay (live)
I recently acquired this track, recorded live in 1971. It's a bonus track from the CD version of Freddie Hubbard's album Red Clay, and I'm going to use it as a reference point to talk a bit about soundstage.
The soundstage of the HA-160D is slightly wider than that of the DA10. Johnny "Hammond" Smith's organ playing seems positioned further to the left of the image I'm hearing with the Burson; similarly, Stanley Turrentine's tenor sax seems positioned further to the right with the Burson. The soundstage of the Lavry is slightly narrower, but I want to make it clear that the difference between the soundstage width of the two all-in-one DAC/Amps is very slight.
With the Burson, Ron Carter's bass playing has slightly more forward sonic impact and body than with the Lavry. At times I noticed myself wanting for the extra treble extension that the Lavry gives, and when I switched to the Lavry, it provided just that, though at the expense of the slightly more natural tone of the Burson.
I'm finding the Lavry combo to be like a glossy computer screen whose reflection can be a distraction from what's on display, whereas the Burson combo is like the anti-glare film that adds a warmer tone to the images on display and is more relaxing for casual browsing. But if you want to see the minutest details clearly, you have to adjust your vision to see them; they're still there, just not with as much crystalline clarity as with the glossy screen-like Lavry gives.
- Jazz – Post-Bop/Avant-Garde Jazz/Free-Jazz – John Coltrane – A Love Supreme
This album is one of my all-time favourites and it's often cited as one of the best jazz albums ever. The music on this recording is timely and timeless, but I don't think that it's optimally suited to the HA-160D/LCD-2 combo, great as it is. With the HA-160D/LCD-2, the instruments sounded boomier than natural in the bass region, to the point that it slightly obscured what they were playing, such as bassist Jimmy Garrison's passing notes during the intro to A Love Supreme Pt. 2: Resolution. I preferred the DA10/LCD-2 combo for this recording; it more clearly revealed the musical conversation occurring.
At this point, just out of curiosity, I decided to plug my HiFiMAN RE-ZERO IEMs, a balanced universal-fit IEM with prominent treble extension, into the Burson. The treble was definitely more extended than with the LCD-2 and much of the LCD-2's bass weight was missing. I found the sonic balance to be less neutral than with the LCD-2, so I switched back to it, and then to the DA10.
HA-160D users who listen to many acoustic jazz recordings, such as this one, and use the LCD-2 as their primary headphone, may benefit from buying an aftermarket cable for the LCD-2 to tune the sound to their liking, perhaps to create a leaner and more precise sound, especially in the bass region; they may even prefer a different headphone for music of that type.
- Electronic – Jungle/Drum and Bass – SquarePusher – Hard Normal Daddy
I thought this album would be a great challenge for the Burson's ability to clearly and impactfully present intricately detailed musical passages spanning a wide frequency range.
The sub-bass impact on Fat Controller was delicious and extended very low and I welcomed it muchly. The DA10 still presented plenty of sub bass but slightly less than the HA-160D did. However, as great as the Burson's bass impact and clear delineation of musical lines was with this album, I found treble detail slightly lacking at times, especially when ultra-detailed musical events occurred. At such times I was drawn to the Lavry for the intricacies it revealed in the recording. If you often listen to music that is ultra-detailed, the HA-160D may not be the best choice of DAC/Amp; a more analytical DAC/Amp may be required.
- Rap – Kanye West – Late Registration
This recording is a great showcase for the prominent sub-bass of the HA-160D with which the beats of this album were very full sounding and the vocals sounded smooth; with the DA10 the beats were thinner sounding and there was more midrange and treble presence on the vocals, even a touch of grain at times.
If you enjoy listening to Rap and like your beats big and vocals smooth, then the HA-160D/LCD-2 may be just the combo for you.
- Classical – Orpheus Chamber Orchestra – Vivaldi: The Four Seasons (Soloist: Sarah Chang)
FYI: I downloaded this recording from iTunes and the tracks are each encoded at 320 kbps.
With the HA-160D/LCD-2 combo, instruments on this recording had a full-bodied warm tone. Sarah Chang's violin sounded very smooth throughout.
I seemed to listen to the orchestra as a whole more when using the HA-160D and found the slightly brighter and more detailed presentation of the DA10 better suited to picking out the minutest of details, such as more of the squeaking of Sarah Chang's bow against the strings of her violin. For some reason the imagery with the DA10 appeared to me more vivid, perhaps due to the additional treble information.
With the LCD-2 and this recording, the HA-160D presented instruments such as the harpsichord with a full and warm sound in both the bass and midrange frequencies. The DA10's presentation of the same instrument had more treble energy and was slightly thinner-sounding in the bass and mids.
The Burson HA-160D is a really well made DAC/Amp combo that makes recordings sound full and impactful, and adds a touch of lush, euphonic warmth to them. It is a great product for music-listeners who want a quality all-in-one boutique DAC/amp, and who listen to recordings casually and/or more closely. The HA-160D may not be for you if your listening habits are of a very analytical nature geared towards hearing every detail on a recording e.g. if you are an audio engineer. That said, the HA-160D is no slouch for details and can still induce a very clear picture of the information on a recording, just with less precision than a more revealing DAC/Amp can.
Again, it's a bit like having a glossy computer screen and finding that although the images are very detailed, the glare can be draining and a little annoying at times, so you buy some anti-glare film. With the film applied to the glossy screen, viewing the screen is less fatiguing, but some of the onscreen images are a bit blurry and appear less clearly than they did before. At times you may want to remove the screen film to experience the increased clarity of the images of glossy screen, so perhaps you remove the film and turn the brightness down, or just leave the film on and readjust your vision or turn up the brightness. It's a matter of personal preference.
Thank you Burson, and Headfonia, for the opportunity to experience such a wonderful product (can I keep it?). Well done!

Ya gotta love these guys ... they have proposed hundreds of billions of international taxes to be paid to the UN for re-distribution to poorer countries who need the help. They have proposed carbon taxes that would produce $250 billion in revenue alone. Also levies on financial transactions, giving over 1/2 the proceeds of off-shore drilling, a tax on airfares. The list goes on.
This is from the same guys who cannot even account for the money they presently handle to run their own organization. This from the guys who give $23,000 to each country "too poor" to send their delegates to NY for the meeting of the UN General Assembly ... but who are not too poor to have those delegates reside in $16,000/night penthouse suites while they are in NY.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Transparency
This week, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) and several other organizations released documents from a FOIA lawsuit that expose the concerted efforts of the FBI and DHS to build a massive database of personal and biometric information. This database, called "Next Generation Identification" (NGI), has been in the works for several years now.
EFF has called on companies to stand with their users when the government comes looking for data. (If you haven't done so, sign the petition urging companies to provide better transparency and privacy.) This article will provide a more detailed look at the last of the four elements required for a company to earn a gold star in our campaign: Fight for user privacy in Congress.
In prior blog posts about the "Who Has Your Back?" campaign, we've explained that companies largely rely on internal policies when the government comes seeking data about users. If those policies are weak, murky, or left unshared, we as users are prevented from making informed decisions about the privacy risks we face.
This month, the New York Times reported that the FBI has updated its internal domestic investigations guidelines to provide its agents with "significant new powers." According to the Times, this update will provide agents with "more leeway to search databases, go through household trash or use surveillance teams to scrutinize the lives of people who have attracted their attention." These changes are especially troubling as they come on the heels of the Obama Administration's efforts to extend FBI Director Robert Mueller's term and on recent reports that the Bureau has once again engaged in controversial surveillance activities directed at "prominent peace activists and politically-active labor organizers."
The success of Wikileaks in obtaining and releasing information has inspired mainstream media outlets to develop proprietary copycat sites. Al-Jazeera got into the act first, launching the Al-Jazeera Transparency Unit (AJTU), an initiative meant to "allow Al-Jazeera's supporters to shine light on notable and noteworthy government and corporate activities which might otherwise go unreported." AJTU assures users that "files will be uploaded and stored on our secure servers" and that materials "are encrypted while they are transmitted to us, and they remain encrypted on our servers."
In an ongoing battle in the Southern District of New York about whether the government must disclose metadata when it releases documents under the Freedom of Information Act, it now appears Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) may have lied in a declaration it filed with the court. This comes on the heels of our earlier report about the FBI lying in a FOIA case in California and does not instill confidence that the government is acting honestly or ethically in FOIA litigation.

Yesterday, Facebook introduced Places, a new location feature that competes with popular services like Foursquare, Google Latitude, Loopt, and Gowalla. Places allows Facebook users to 'check in' to real world locations and to tag their friends as present (similar to how Facebook allows tagging in photos). Everyone who is checked in to the location can see who else is listed as "Here Now" for a few hours after they check in. Once you are checked in to a location, Places also creates a story in your friends' News Feeds and places a notice in the location's page's Recent Activity section. The product will roll out over the next few days.

Film & Discussion: Escape Fire - The Fight to UCSF Rescue American Healthcare
Please join us for a free screening of the award-winning documentary "Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare".
Escape Fire takes a hard look at the myriad problems in today's healthcare system in the United States and offers hopeful solutions, including integrative medicine. Interviewees include three UCSF faculty members: Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn, Dr. Peter Carroll and Dr. Dean Ornish, in addition to Dr. Andrew Weil.

To fully understand Prosposal 14-1 and Proposal 14-2 that will be on the ballot here in Michigan one must go back to 2012 to understand the big picture. In 2012, the Michigan Legislature passed Senate Bill 1350, which Governor Snyder signed, making it Public Act 520 of 2012. The act added wolves to the definition of "game" animals; declared that wolf hunting was necessary to manage the growing population of wolves in order to protect humans, livestock, and pets; authorized a hunting season for wolves; established a licensing scheme; and established the Wolf Management Advisory Council. Some citizens were opposed to the idea of wolf hunting, so they formed Keep Michigan Wolves Protected and filed a petition, with sufficient signatures, to have a referendum on Public Act 520. Thus, it is this law that is on the ballot as Proposal 14-1.
(At this point, it is helpful to lay out the difference between an initiative, a referendum, and a proposal: An initiative is a citizen-initiated piece of legislation that goes before the Legislature if enough signatures are gathered; if the Legislature passes it, the legislation becomes law; if the Legislature does not pass it, it goes before the people for a vote. A referendum is a citizen-initiated protest to a law passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor; those who want the law to stay vote "Yes", while those opposed to the law vote "No". Once a referendum is certified, the law in question is suspended, pending the outcome of the election. Thus, in an initiative, those filing the petition would vote "Yes", while in a referendum, those filing the petition would vote "No". A proposal is anything that goes before the people for a vote, including referenda, initiatives, constitutional amendments, etc.)
I have no issue with voting "Yes" on Proposal 1, and unless you are opposed to the hunting of wolves, you likely will not either. But Proposal 2 is where it gets a bit trickier. After Keep Michigan Wolves Protected got Public Act 520 on the ballot as a referendum, the Legislature decided to pass another law, in case the referendum was successful; thus, Senate Bill 288 was passed, and Governor Snyder signed it, making it Public Act 21 of 2013. The act continued the designation of the wolf as a "game" animal (since the bill was passed before the Public Act 520 referendum was certified, Public Act 520 had not yet been suspended, but if Proposal 1 were to pass, then the wolf would no longer be designated as a game animal); granted the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) the power to designate animals as game animals, with some restrictions (however, it also stipulated that only the Legislature has the power to remove animals from the list of game animals); granted the NRC the ability to establish the first open season for any animal that it adds to the list of game animals; granted the eliminated the fee for hunting licenses for military personnel; and granted the NRC sole authority to regulate fishing. Again, Keep Michigan Wolves Protected filed a petition, with sufficient signatures, to have a referendum on Public Act 21, so it is now on the ballot as Proposal 14-2.
Personally, I am not a fan of Public Act 21; I do not like the added authority that the Legislature gave to the NRC, and I do not feel that it is wise to allow the agency to have the power to designate animals as game animals and establish a hunting season for such animals without any legislative input. I also question the wisdom of granting the NRC exclusive authority to regulate fishing. If the story had ended here, I likely would've voted Yes on Proposal 1 and No on Proposal 2, but what happened next made the whole situation much more interesting.
A group of citizens in favor of hunting wolves, under the name Citizens for Professional Wildlife Management, successfully filed an initiative petition. The proposal continued the designation of the wolf as a game animal; continued the grant to the NRC to designate animals as game animals and establish a first open season; continued the stipulation that the Legislature has the sole power to remove animals from the list of game animals; and appropriated $1,000,000 to the Department of Natural Resources to fight the invasion of Asian Carp. The proposal also had a section that stipulated that if language from Public Act 520 or 21 was removed due to failure of either referenda, that language was reinstated by the initiative. The Legislature adopted the initiative, meaning that it became law (Public Act 281 of 2014) without having to be signed by Governor Snyder. So what makes the initiative so special?
The appropriation of money to the DNR means that, pursuant to Article 2, § 9 of the Michigan Constitution, the law cannot be subjected to a referendum petition. (This specific issue was addressed in Michigan United Conservation Clubs v. Secretary of State, 464 Mich. 359 (2001), where the Michigan Supreme Court interpreted that any appropriation is an "appropriation" under this provision of the Constitution, which I agree with, even though the result is that the Legislature can make a law referendum-proof.) In drafting the initiative, the drafters knew that adding the appropriation would make it referendum-proof, and in approving the initiative, the legislators knew that even though they had previously passed two bills to allow wolf hunting with pushback from voters, by passing this initiative, they would be making the act referendum-proof. The inclusion of the appropriation was not simply a coincidence; the drafters, and the Legislature, knew what they were doing. They knew that this was a hot-button issue that some (perhaps even many) voters opposed, yet they went forward and passed it in a way that would not allow a referendum on the issue.
I have no problem with the Legislature passing Public Act 21 after the petition for Public Act 520 was filed; if it wants to do so, that's fine with me. But what I do have a problem with is the Legislature passing an initiative with an appropriation provision in it solely to make that law referendum-proof. To do so is disingenuous and out-of-line with the intent of the appropriations process.
So that gets us to where we are today: Proposal 1 and 2 are on the ballot, but even if the No voters win on both proposals, the result is still ultimately the same as if Yes were to win. (It should be noted that a court could potentially overturn the initiative, but I see no legal grounds for that to happen, and I think the chances of that happening are next to none. The voters could also push for a new initiative that would undo the last initiative, but that seems unlikely to be successful.) But voting No on the proposals can still send a message. Those opposed to wolf hunting overall should vote No on both, but those who respect the referendum process, regardless of their feelings on wolf hunting, should vote No on Proposal 2.
There has been a lot of confusion and dishonesty surrounding the proposals. Contrary to what some Yes supporters say, these proposals have nothing to do with allowing hunters or citizens to kill nuisance wolves; nuisance wolves can already be killed under existing law. Farmers can still kill wolves that threten their livestock (although allowing them to be hunted would decrease the wolf population and chance that their livestock would be threatened overall). Those who say otherwise are not being honest.
So why do the proposals even matter? Again, it is about making a statement that the Legislature should not abuse its appropriation power to remove the power of a referendum from the people. Regardless of your feelings on wolf hunting, all Michiganders should support the ability of those opposed to wolf hunting to hold a referendum on legislation that allows for wolf hunting; furthermore, voting No on Proposal 2, because of the passage of Public Act 281, will not have any adverse effect on the existence of wolf hunting in Michigan. For those reasons, I urge a No vote on at least Proposal 2.

Manhattan Beach re-zoned north of County Road 1
Parcels of land north of County Road 1 and within the city of Manhattan Beach are being re-zoned from commercial to residential property.
The vote was unanimous among the city council Friday, Jan. 11. That meeting began Jan. 2, but recessed and was reconvened Jan. 11. Council member Marlene Yurek was absent from both meetings, according to meeting minutes from the city's website.
Manhattan Beach Mayor Paul Allen said in a phone interview that the land was re-zoned to residential for a pending sale, which relied on the zoning change. Instead of holding a special meeting for the zoning vote, the meeting was recessed and reconvened to expedite the switch.
Allen said three or four people attended the public hearing regarding the change.
In other business during the January council meetings, the council accepted the resignation of Bill Weidenbacher from the planning and zoning commission. Mark Johnson was appointed to the vacant position.
The city of Manhattan Beach made the following annual appointments Jan. 2:
• City attorney: Virginia Knudson.
• City engineer: tentatively, Derek Anderson of Bolton and Menk will work on an as-needed basis. There is no written agreement yet.
• City accountant: Mathias Justin.
• City insurance: Agent Gerry Boe of LMCIT.
• Authorized newspaper: Northland Press. Notices will also appear on the city website.
• The city's bank is Frandsen Bank and Trust.
• Fire protection will be provided by Crosslake Fire Department.
• Snow removal: Jerry Raph.
• Septic inspections: Martin Joyce.

I have the sneaking suspicion that Ireland might not draft a WR till later in the draft if we get Wallace. I do not agree with it, but I really think this Ireland's mind set.
I have the sneaking suspicion that Ireland might not draft a WR till later in the draft if we get Wallace. I do not agree with it, but I really think this Ireland's mind set.
"It happens all the time," Taylor said. "It's not an exact science and personnel guys aren't the end-all, be-all. " Jason Taylor,2011
Ireland believes he will be fired if he doesn't add explosiveness to the offense this year and he knows it. He will be aggressive.
He had some plays that definitely got me excited... I don't know enough about him though to make a judgement on his future in the league.
I do agree with you that we won't be drafting a WR till the 3rd round. Just a hunch really but I believe they like some of the younger guys we have. Binns, Matthews etc... With us getting a WR in FA (this is a foregone conclusion for me) I think it is more advantageous for us to fill our other needs in the first 2 rounds. OL, CB, TE maybe DLine depending on how they view Vernon and what we do with Starks.
Fin fan till' the coffin slams!
Binns sucks.
Um he sucks.
He had more drops in those few games than I remember seeing all season. Matthews is the one everyone should be excited about. He showed more promise than Ted Binns. A lot more.
Binns is very rough still, but same as Mathews, they could be very good upcoming receivers..
Assuming we get Wallace....I would be ok with not drafting a WR in the first two rounds but only if we draft a tight end very high. Thats also assuming we still had Hartline. We let him go then drafting receiver early becomes more important.
Binns belongs in the garbage bin...he's pretty bad
