Name: Parker Rose
Spouse: Your spouse is a kind person that loves their kids (and you) a lot. Their family is the center of their universe, and they are always dragging the kids and you to a family reunion. They also own a small store downtown, and they love to have the kids around the store. They have blue eyes and jet-black hair. (gender is based on your preferred gender for a spouse).
Name: Oliver Harley
Daughter: (20) Your oldest daughter is a beautiful, spunky girl. She has her dad's hair and bright green eyes. She is always working at the store, but is lately thinking of taking a semester abroad at her college. As an amazing artist, she has painted pictures of all of her siblings' favorite things. She loves to babysit everyone, but don't think you can get a hold of her on a Friday night!
Name: Lydia Gwendolyn
Son: (18) Your first son is a sports fanatic. He can't go a minute without going outside and throwing a ball with his little siblings. He has brown curls and blue eyes. He also got a sports scholarship to North Carolina State, so he'll be moving out next fall. He also has a girlfriend who you've seen at dinner a few times, but you've never really gotten to talk to because he thinks you'll "embarrass him."
Name: Beau Jasper
Girlfriend's name: Ava Jane
Son: (15) Your third kid has straight blond hair and freckles. He loves to read and looks up to his older sister. He's pretty shy, though. He would stay up in his room forever if he wasn't forced to work at the store and go to school. He gets good grades and is very quiet around everyone - even you! But when he talks, he always says something insightful. He will have a good time hanging out with his siblings, but he prefers staying in his room to movie night.
Name: Elliott Mattias
Daughter: (13) This chatterbox is almost the opposite of her brother! She loves to talk - and when she's not talking, she's texting. Her phone is always buzzing and her friends are always coming over for a sleepover. You probably know every thirteen year old in town thanks to her! She has long black hair that is always beautifully done and blue eyes (just like her dad!) She also loves singing and is a big part of her chorus.
Name: Vivienne Alice
Daughter: (10) She loves to hang out with all of her siblings, even when they have homework to do. But she really loves to spend time with her father more than anyone else. She has blond hair just like her brother, but the same green eyes as her oldest sister. This girl can't wait until she's old enough to work at the shop, and you suspect she will take over the business. Her room is painted pink, and her sister has painted a beautiful mural of her favorite things - horses! You take her to riding lessons every Friday, and she is currently begging you for a horse.
Name: Paisley Mecca
Son/Son: (7) Your twin boys are adorable little troublemakers, with brown curls and freckles. They are attached at the hip, and they're identical. Sometimes even you can't tell them apart! They are always bugging their oldest brother to toss a ball around with them. They are also currently into bugs. They catch them and put the poor things in a cage for weeks on end. You think that it's just a phase, but you never know! One of them might become a famous entomologist!
Names: Nigel Maverick and Ash Holden
Daughter: (4) This little girl loves lip gloss and Barbie, but she loves her oldest sister even more. She always wants to make art just like her. She looks like a doll, with beautiful round green eyes and adorable freckles that make her black hair look so pretty! She can talk almost as much as her 13-year-old sister, but she can and will run around with the twins (but don't think she'll touch the bugs- ick!). She is constantly saying that when she grows up, she wants to be an artist, just like your oldest daughter.
Name: Harlow June
Son/Daughter/Daughter: (newborn) Your triplets are adorable little things. They all have blue eyes and no hair. You don't know them very well yet, but you know that your other kids love to hold them!
Names: Hayes Judah, Sailor Luna and Dallas Miriam

I have a molecule within a cell. The first time I open the Cartesian editor, all the coordinates (fractional) are seemingly correct. However, if I translate the molecule within the cell without closing the Cartesian editor, one of the atom coordinates changes to (0,0,0). If I close the editor before translating, then there is no problem, the coordinates are not changed to zero.
I have the atoms ordered according to element type, and the atom whose coordinates are changed is the first hydrogen in the list. I don't know if this is significant.
The obvious workaround is to close the Cartesian editor before translating and then reopening to copy coordinates to an external file.

Trade help.
Im in an 8 team league and here are my players:
PG: C. Paul
SG: K. Bryant
G: R. Allen

F: J. Oneal
PF: R. Wallace
C: C. Boozer
C: C. Wilcox
Util: B. Roy

Ive been offered A. Jamison for Carlos Boozer.
The way i see it is that Booze is very 2 dimensional (Points, rebounds) and Jamison gets points, rebounds, and around 1 3 and a steal per game. Plus boozer is injury prone while Jamison played 82 games last season.
I have alot of 3s but theres never any harm in gettin more. Is there any reason I shouldnt do this trade other than Boozers C eligibility. I do have Jermaine Oneal and Dalembert who can play the 5.
do it now beofre u regret it!!!!!!
take jamison

Kenny Perry Blisters TPC River HighlandsJune 25, 2009
Cromwell, CT - Scoring conditions could not have been better today at TPC River Highlands.
There was virtually no wind to speak of and the greens were extremely receptive due to the significant amount of rain that has fallen in the area over the past month.
Give touring pros a relatively short golf course with perfect scoring conditions, and we all know how that's going to turn out.
100 players in the field shot better than par today.
Paul Goydos set the pace early with a seven-under-par round of 63, only to be surpassed later on in the afternoon by Kenny Perry's 61.
After a somewhat shaky start, Goydos settled down and played near flawless golf for the rest of his round.
"I'm feeling quite fortunate," Goydos said after his round.
"I kind of made, the first hole I kind of made a mess of it, and kind of funky line on the fairway and laid the sod over the seven-iron. And laid it 50 yards short of the green, and pitched the 10 pin and made it for par. Two, I drove it last, and hit a squirrely line in the rough. And hit a poor wedge shot that went through the three, and got in the front bunker in a bad spot, and kind of chunked it out 15 feet and made that for par. Then, after, in a sense, those things tend to calm you down. Hey, you hit two by two the worst holes of the year, and you're at even par. Just calm down and make good swings," said Goydos.
Goydos went on to make seven birdies and not a single bogey over his next 16 holes.
Goydos was the clubhouse leader at a little after 12:30 p.m., but, then Kenny Perry teed off at 12:52 and completely blistered TPC River Highlands.
Perry shot a 29 on the front nine and birdied seven out of his first 10 holes.
"Well, I think I only had like seven putts on the front nine which is unusual for me to get the day off going," Perry said after his round. "But really the saving of the round was the second hole. I hooked the tee shot into the left bunker, was dead. Chipped out sideways, knocked it on and made a 20-footer for par, which really gave me a little momentum. And then I went on. I putted it in from off the green on three. And then I made a beautiful putt on four. I mean, these were long putts. They weren't even short putts. So, then I kind of got into the round. Got some momentum, and got energized a little bit. And next thing you know, I shoot 29 on the front nine, and birdie the 10th hole."
As Perry made his way around the back nine, he had a very real chance of posting that magical, highly elusive 59.
After birdying the 10th hole to go to seven-under-par, Perry missed an eight foot birdie putt on the par-three 11th.
Perry drove the 294 yard par-four 15th but was unable to sink his 19-foot eagle putt.
On the par-three 16th, Perry once again had a good look at birdie but his eight foot putt barely slipped by the hole.
"I was looking for that magical number. I thought I could do it today. And it was definitely in the back of my head. I was definitely trying to get it done. But I'm very happy with the round. I mean, whenever you can birdie half the holes, it's pretty amazing," Perry said.
Perry's 61 set a new first round scoring record at the Travelers Championship and tied for the lowest tournament round ever at TPC River Highlands.
Perry has held at least a share of the 18-hole lead 12 times during his career but has only gone on to win one of those tournaments (1995 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic).
That being said, Kenny Perry might very well be a better golfer right now at the age of 48 than at any other point during his career.

Albany's Oft-Skirted Rule on Gifts Is Just the Beginning, Filings Show
By MICHAEL COOPER; Jennifer Medina contributed reporting for this article.
Published: January 30, 2006
One day last August, Richard Alteri, a lobbyist for the cable industry, took four people, including staff members from the State Senate, golfing at the Albany Country Club, and paid $61.25 a person, according to lobbying records. That same day, he paid for lunch at the club, spending $22.50 on each of them.
All told, the lobbyist spent $83.75 on each staff member, despite a state law that is supposed to limit gifts from lobbyists to lawmakers and staffers to $75. But apparently his gift was legal because until recently the state has interpreted the $75 limit to apply to each event -- so a round of golf could be counted separately from the lunch served afterward at the same club.
Now the state is considering closing that loophole as it reacts to the furor over the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal in Washington. Even if it does, though, that may do little to stem the flow of largess from lobbyists to state officials. That is because the state's famously porous campaign finance laws allow special interest groups to contribute large amounts of money to candidates, and allow the candidates to then use their campaign accounts to pay for everything from meals to car payments to trips.
The State Senate majority leader, Joseph L. Bruno, a Republican, used his campaign donations to pay for more than $10,000 in restaurant meals during the past six months, campaign finance filings show. He also used $8,000 in campaign donations to pay for a top Senate aide to accompany him on a 10-day trip in the fall to Venice, Florence and Rome during which Mr. Alteri, the cable industry lobbyist, acted as their guide.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Democrat, used his campaign donations to pay for trips to give speeches and attend conferences in Hawaii, Seattle, Puerto Rico and at the Mohegan Sun hotel in Connecticut during the past six months, records show.
Neither Mr. Bruno nor Mr. Silver have faced significant opposition at the ballot booth in years, and their next elections are nearly a year away. But both men, who control all legislation that is voted on in New York and must sign off on the state budget each year, continue to raise campaign money from lobbyists, businesses, unions and other special interests. And they have broad discretion in spending the donations.
Such behavior has become so common that Assemblyman Bob Reilly, a Democrat from just outside Albany, introduced a bill last year with the idea that campaign contributions should be spent only on campaigns. He said it had not exactly been embraced.
''A lobbyist cannot take me to dinner for $80,'' Mr. Reilly said, ''but he can give me $3,000 that I put in my campaign coffers and then take people to dinner myself.''
So far, proposals to tighten the gift limit have attracted more attention in Albany this year than proposals to tighten the campaign finance laws. Most of the activity to reform campaign finance so far this year has centered on the gift limit.
The state's Lobbying Commission recently moved to reinterpret the $75 gift limit as a limit of $75 per year, not per event. But some commissioners are divided over whether the new interpretation is binding; they are scheduled to vote on it in February.
Tracing gifts from lobbyists to lawmakers can be difficult, because while lobbyists are required to file itemized expenses with the state, they are not required to say whom they spend the money on. Four-figure ''legislative dinners'' are not uncommon in the filings of lobbyists, but the filings rarely say who, or even how many, attended. Other forms of entertainment crop up, too, as with a $450 entry the Empire State Restaurant and Tavern Association listed for a ''concert'' for lawmakers.
''If the question is, 'Are lobbyists and clients giving gifts to legislators?' the answer is unequivocally yes,'' said David M. Grandeau, executive director of the Lobbying Commission, who said it had been working to close loopholes in the law.
But the Legislature may take action on its own. Gov. George E. Pataki called for a total gift ban this year, as did Mr. Bruno. Several years ago, the State Senate imposed its own internal ban on senators' accepting meals from lobbyists, and Senate officials say they expect to pass a bill as early as this week banning gifts from lobbyists.
''It isn't a matter of legislators being for sale,'' Senator Bruno said recently. ''I really don't think that is the question at all. The real question is perception. The perception is that when people who have a vested interest are wining or dining or entertaining legislators, that they're getting something for it. I don't believe that they do, but the perception is bad. So we just ought to stop it.''
Mr. Silver, the Assembly speaker, has been noncommittal about his plans. But Charles Carrier, a spokesman for the speaker, said that Assembly members were considering different approaches to gifts. ''The expectation is to put forward a proposal,'' he said.
The issue is already surfacing in the race for governor. Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, the Democratic front-runner, has long proposed a total ban on gifts from lobbyists. William F. Weld, the former Massachusetts governor who is running as a Republican, recently proposed limiting campaign spending, denying state contracts to campaign contributors and requiring that campaign donations be spent on campaigns.
Some lawmakers take an expansive view of what a campaign expense is.

Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag
|Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag
|The Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaog was given by Fr. Juan de San Jacinto from Mexico
|Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaog was in Pangasinan
|Feast day:
|Second week of April
Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag was the title given to Our Blessed Virgin Mary by the natives of Pangasinan who regarded her as the "Lady Who Calls."
A farmer was on his way home from a hard day work at the farm, while walking he was disturbed by many thoughts. He was scared of the assaults that would come from the highlanders. Good thing, the priests had taught him to have faith in God and ask for the protection of Mary. He comforted himself with good thoughts and immediately his fears vanished. As he walked on he saw a beautiful woman with a baby on her arms, he wanted to turn back and run but the woman called his name and told him that she wanted a church constructed on the site in her honor, so that many will benefit out of this.
The story spread out and gained popularity around the place. People began to visit and pray on the site regularly, and when asked where they had been. They would reply "Dimad Apo ya mantatawag" (from the Lady who calls). Finally, the phrase was shortened to "Manaoag" from which the name of the town came from.
The connection between the origin of the Manaoag tradition and the rebulto on the altar is easy to find. A church of light materials was constructed on the site of the apparition and the statue of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, brought by Fr.Juan de San Jacinto, was installed on the altar. A wooden church was constructed near the mission house of Santa Monica by Fr. Diego de Ballesteros to match the image but the church suddenly disappeared, apparently Our Lady did not like the idea of moving away from her desired location.
In 1710, Another church was constructed funded by Don Gaspar Gamboa but unfortunately it was destroyed by the earthquakes in 1900s. The image of Our lady was brought to Dagupan by Fr. Jose Puente via a carabao-driven cart during the Philippine Revolution of 1896. Miraculously, it was not harmed by the attacks of the Revolutionists. It was transferred to different homes to another for safekeeping.
In 1906, a new sanctuary was constructed so the image was brought back from Dagupan to the newly built church and reinstalled in Manaog. Many generously offered donations and contributed for the completion of the church. It was officially acknowledged by the Philippine Hierarchy in 1937.
The beautiful image of Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaog was given by Fr. Juan de San Jacinto from Mexico. The image is dressed as a royal lady, holding her Holy Beloved Child Jesus on her right arm, on her right arm , she is holding a royal scepter and a rosary. She's wearing a queenly crown with diamonds.
In 1610, Felipe Bayani, a farmer, came down with a fatal disease. He made a solemn promiseto serve Our Lady in his whole life if given the chance to stay alive longer. Immediately afer he made the vow he began to feel better. He fully recovered and assisted the Manaog Priory.
In another case, a couple decided to bring their dying son to Manaog, but he died on the way. They still went to the shrine and offered his body at the altar. As they prayed, their son suddenly stood up as if nothing happened to him. Same thing happened to a sickly seven year old boy who died in 1702. His body was taken to Manaog, and the boy suddenly stood up. He has grown up assisting the Manaog Priory.
A foreigner living in Bangkok who was married to a Filipina onced visited the country and heard about the miracles of Our lady of Manaog. During that time, he was having finacial problems and so he and his family decided to seek the intercession of Our lady and prayed fervently. Their prayers were answered. Since then, they would ask for her intercessions and they come to Manaog to attend the yearly Manaog Festival.
Senator Loren Legarda wrote in her column in Manila Bulletin that in 1999 that she was having throat problem and that she was about to lose her voice. During that time she was still deciding if she would enter politics or not. While on her trip to Dagupan City upon the invitation of the Bangus Jaycees, she paid a visit to the Manaoag Shrine and ask for her divine intervention because she wanted to serve her fellows. When she went back to Manila and reported for operation, the examinations had positive results. Her voice was restored. She also had a landslide win in the senatorial elections.
Such testimonials are proof of miracles and the power of God and Mary, the mother who "calls her children to Grace."
The image of Our Lady of Manaoag was consecrated on April 21, 1926 by the Apotolic Nuncio Msgr. Guillermo Piani. She is venerated all over the country and has a huge following of devotees including the government agencies, politicians, business sectors among many others. Her image is one of the most copied. Her feast day is celebrated every second week of April.

As the Advanced Marketing Services Chapter 11 Filing takes more twists and turns (many of them appear in a post below) it's helpful to turn the clock back a few years and go through the accounting scandals, fraudulent claims, federal investigations, criminal charges, civil actions, guilty pleas and resignations that have dogged AMS for years – and are almost certainly the strongest mitigating factors leading to their bankruptcy filing. What emerges is a story of a company that preferred self-aggrandizement to truth, bold claims instead of realistic expectations and a ship that started sinking years ago until the wreckage became so decimated that the only real recourse, especially for suddenly-struggling independent publishers, is to splinter and start over.
When AMS bought Publishers Group West in 2002, all looked good, as the company reported total sales of $763 million built upon supplying books to wholesalers such as Costco and Sam's Club. In fact, the company had been reporting strong sales for several years. But mere months later, in July 2003, things turned for the worse and the stench grew ever thick. That's because the US Attorney's Office in San Diego launched an investigation into AMS's accounting practices, revealing the company overstated its pre-tax earnings by about 9 percent in fiscal 2001, 10 percent in fiscal 2002 and 19 percent in 2003. The San Diego Union-Tribune, which was all over the story at the time and as it developed over the course of several years, reported that publishers were deceived – to the tune of millions of dollars – into believing AMS had done various marketing activities to promote their books that it had not. In addition, AMS executives misrepresented the company's actions, according to the SEC, and did so from approximately 1999 through 2003 inclusive. Those strong sales weren't nearly as strong after all.
Three of those executives, Sandra Miller Christie (vice president of advertising), Marcy Wilson Roke (director of advertising creative services) and Karyn Ann Larko (director of advertising for customer accounts) were caught in the probe and subject to criminal charges and civil action by the SEC. Roke settled her case with the SEC in September 2005 and required to pay a $25,000 penalty, plus $56,458 from ill-gotten annual bonuses, the sale of company stock and interest. She was also sentenced to five years' probation and 500 hours of community service after pleading guilty to fraud charges. Larko also received five years' probation after a similar guilty plea, and only last month, Christie was sentenced to 36 months in prison for her role in falsifying earnings. AMS was also required, in the wake of criminal and civil action, to pay publishers $9 million to compensate them for the deception. (More about this and other settlements is available in the 8K report filed to the SEC earlier this year.)
But AMS's problems weren't only limited to Christie, Larko and Roke. In April 2004, the company's then-chief executive, Mike Nicita, left AMS after news of the scandal and was replaced six months later by Bruce Myers, who installed a new team. He was gone 18 months later, replaced by Gary Rautenstrauch last May. And in 2005, the company's stock became effectively worthless when the SEC ruled to de-list the stock from major markets, which led to major shareholder Robert Robotti trying to gain a foothold within the company (in the end, he got a seat on the board, but in the wake of the bankruptcy, his stock has plummeted to $650,000.) And last but not least, AMS hasn't reported financial results for more than three years, and has yet to restate its financial results dating back to its 2003 fiscal year.
The end result is that a company with so much criminal and civil baggage was destined to implode, in a big way. It was just a matter of when.

DRONTEN – No-one would assume that a giant greenhouse in the middle of the Netherlands would enclose a school, but this building challenges the preconception of an exclusively formal climate for institutions of higher learning. Designed by BDG Architecten, the CAH University of Applied Sciences in Dronten (a school for agricultural studies) symbolizes a new educational vernacular.
In line with BDG's programmatic doctrine, the overall design of the building is driven by a strong sustainable concept based on the efficient exploitation of sunlight, rainwater and clean air flow. Despite their preference for a rigid high-tech framework, the architects focused on a circulation system that would ensure a relaxed environment.
The solution was a 16-m-high greenhouse, inside which two buildings provide space for both people and plants. The greenhouse functions as a huge air duct, regulating ventilation through an integrated smart climate system. Passive cooling in the form of solar blinds and etched-glass panels prevents overheating in the summer. Rainwater is collected and reused to flush toilets and to clean the building. Although these technical provisions afford a comfortable working environment, the real climax lies in the architects' inside-outside juxtaposition of volumes.
Composed of a skeleton of white steel trusses and modular glass panels, the outermost structure encompasses a pair of timber-clad buildings whose solidity cuts through the otherwise light-filled structure. The incorporation of vegetation at various places increases the flow of fresh air and further diminishes the sense of enclosure.
Although these inner buildings have independent staircases, classrooms, auditoriums and office spaces, they are linked at ground level and by a first-floor plaza – two areas intended as informal meeting places for teachers and students. Layers of programme and materiality exist between the project and its surroundings, yet none of them creates noticeable boundaries. The effect is more like soft partitions that are meant to encourage a new way of learning.

Hirschman and Irish Industrial Policy
In this article we examine the origins of Whitaker's export oriented industrial policy and the political management of its implementation. Whitaker appointed academic economic advisors, including Louden Ryan, to a Capital Investment Advisory Committee in 1956. The advice from this committee was to become a cornerstone of Whitaker's industrial policy. Using the archives of the Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland (SSISI), we show that industrial policy at its inception was shaped by the economic theories of Hirschman (1958). Hirschman's theories were adopted for Ireland's vision of economic development via the writings and counsel of Ryan.

FILED: December 31, 2008
Clatsop County Circuit Court
057303, 057304
A133746 (Control), A133747
Philip L. Nelson, Judge.
Argued and submitted on August 27, 2008.
Marc D. Brown, Deputy Public Defender, argued the cause for appellant.Ā With him on the brief was Peter Gartlan, Chief Defender, Legal Services Division, Office of Public Defense Services.
Douglas F. Zier, Assistant Attorney General, argued the cause for respondent.Ā With him on the brief were Hardy Myers, Attorney General, and Mary H. Williams, Solicitor General.
Before Brewer, Presiding Judge, and Schuman, Judge, and Riggs, Senior Judge.
Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction for driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII).(1)Ā ORS 813.010.Ā He assigns error to the trial court's denial of his motion to suppress evidence that he refused to submit to a breath test, arguing that his refusal should have been suppressed because he was denied his right, under Article I, section 11, of the Oregon Constitution,(2) to consult privately with counsel before deciding whether to submit to the test.Ā We conclude that defendant waived that right.Ā We therefore affirm.Ā
The following undisputed facts are consistent with the trial court's written findings and supported by the evidence.Ā Defendant was arrested for DUII after refusing to perform field sobriety tests.Ā Before he was transported to the jail, defendant twice asked to speak to an attorney.Ā The arresting officer, Odoms, told defendant that he could use a cell phone to call an attorney, but defendant did not have a cell phone.Ā When defendant arrived at the jail, he was photographed; while being photographed, he stood facing an open door to an enclosed room.Ā The door was approximately four feet from him.Ā After being photographed, defendant was seated across from that room in a booking area.Ā
Odoms then began the 15-minute observation period that is required before an officer may administer a breath alcohol test.Ā After approximately five minutes, Odoms, who was completing paperwork related to defendant's arrest, asked defendant for his date of birth.Ā Defendant stated, "I'm not talking to you until I get a lawyer."Ā Odoms responded, "Are you asking for your lawyer?Ā You're welcome to make a phone call," and gestured toward the enclosed room referenced above.Ā Defendant retorted, "I want a lawyer right now," and Odoms reiterated, "You're welcome to make a phone call, sir," gesturing again to the room.Ā Defendant then stated, "I don't know anybody, so keep doing what you're doing."Ā After the required 15-minute observation period had elapsed, Odoms asked defendant if he would submit to a breath test.Ā He refused, replying, "Nope.Ā Nope.Ā No.Ā N-O.Ā Negative.Ā No way."Ā At a pretrial hearing, defendant moved to suppress "evidence of the [breath test] refusal" on the ground that he "was not afforded an opportunity to consult with an attorney prior to making a decision on whether to take the breath test."Ā The trial court denied that motion, and defendant was subsequently convicted by a jury.
On appeal, defendant renews his argument that he was denied his right to consult privately with counsel before deciding whether to submit to the breath test and that evidence of his refusal should therefore have been suppressed.Ā Specifically, he contends that "the record is * * * devoid of evidence that the officer informed defendant that he would have an opportunity to speak with an attorney in private."Ā The state responds that Odoms's gesture toward the "enclosed, private holding cell/interview room" was sufficient to notify defendant that he would be afforded privacy and that, therefore, defendant knowingly waived his right to consult privately with an attorney when he subsequently stated, "I don't know anybody, so keep doing what you're doing."Ā
In State v. Spencer, 305 Or 59, 74-75, 750 P2d 147 (1988), the Supreme Court held that "under the right to counsel clause in Article I, section 11, an arrested driver has the right upon request to a reasonable opportunity to obtain legal advice before deciding whether to submit to a breath test."Ā The court expanded on its description of that right in State v. Durbin, 335 Or 183, 192-93, 63 P3d 576 (2003), holding that "a driver arrested for DUII has, upon invoking the right to counsel, the right to a reasonable opportunity to consult privately with counsel before deciding whether to submit to a breath test."Ā (Emphasis added.)Ā We applied those principles in State v. Matviyenko, 212 Or App 125, 127-30, 157 P3d 268 (2007), concluding that, where the defendant stated that he wanted to call an attorney and the officer provided him with a telephone and phone books but did not leave the room, the officer's presence interfered with the defendant's right to a private consultation because the defendant could reasonably have concluded that "any statements made in the officer's presence would not be confidential, * * * and thus be inclined not to make the call."Ā We held that
"when a DUII arrestee has asked to call an attorney, if an officer intends to remain seated in the room until the call is made, * * * the onus is properly on the officer to inform the arrestee--before the call is made--that, once he or she contacts an attorney, privacy will be afforded."
Id. at 130.Ā
It follows that a DUII arrestee cannot knowingly waive his previously asserted Article I, section 11, right to consult with counsel unless he has first been notified that he will be afforded privacy to do so.Ā State v. Sawyer, 221 Or App 350, 354-55, 190 P3d 409 (2008); see also State v. Acremant, 338 Or 302, 321, 108 P3d 1139, cert den, 546 US 864 (2005) (to be valid, a waiver of one's previously asserted right to counsel must be "knowing, intelligent, and voluntary under the totality of the circumstances") (emphasis added).Ā The burden is on the state to establish the validity of a waiver.Ā Sawyer, 221 Or App at 354.
In this case, Odoms provided defendant with an opportunity to call an attorney when she twice informed defendant that he was welcome to make a phone call and gestured toward a room with a phone.Ā The question is whether Odom's gesture toward that room was sufficient to notify defendant that his call would be private.Ā If so, defendant's statement--"I don't know anybody, so keep doing what you're doing"--constituted a valid waiver of a known right.Ā If not, the state failed to adduce sufficient evidence to demonstrate that defendant knowingly waived his right to speak privately with an attorney, and the trial court's admission of his refusal to submit to the breath test was error.
We agree with the state that, given the particular facts of this case, Odoms did all that was required under Matviyenko when she gestured to the separate, enclosed room.Ā While being photographed, defendant obviously saw that the room had a solid door and thus afforded privacy.Ā Moreover, in contrast to the factual scenarios in Matviyenko, Sawyer, and State v. Carlson, ___ Or App ___, ___ P3d ___ (Dec 31, 2008), nothing in the circumstances surrounding defendant's situation indicated or implied to defendant that Odoms intended to enter or remain in the room with defendant until defendant's call was made; rather, in this case, Odoms directed defendant's attention to a separate, enclosed location and made no indication that she intended to follow him.Ā Thus, Odoms adequately informed defendant that he would be afforded privacy to call an attorney.Ā It follows that defendant knowingly waived his right to counsel when he stated, "I don't know anybody, so keep doing what you're doing."Ā The trial court did not err in admitting defendant's refusal to take the breath test.ĀĀ
1. In a consolidated case, defendant was also convicted of reckless driving.Ā ORS 811.140.Ā He does not challenge that conviction on appeal, and we do not address it.
Return to previous location.
2. Article I, section 11, provides, in part, "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall have the right * * * to be heard by himself and counsel[.]"
Return to previous location.

CSNNE.com Bruins Insider Follow @hackswithhaggs
KANSAS CITY It starts to get old after a while.
Daniel Bard comes into a hairy baseball situation with no discernible escape, and manages to make it look easy while wriggling out of the mess. The flame-throwing Bard did it again on Sunday when he waltzed into a sticky situation in the seventh inning with the tying run on base and nobody out in a 3-1 ballgame against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium.
Getting out of that jam was the biggest part of that game, said catcher Jason Varitek, who had an excellent view of Bards nuclear stuff from behind the plate.
Jon Lester couldnt put out the fire, and instead Bard came in to retire Alcides Escobar, Alex Gordon, and Melky Cabrera in a row to escape the jam and preserve what became a 6-1 victory for the Sox. Escobar looked like he was trying to sacrifice the two runners over, but laying down a bunt on a 100-mph fastball motoring through the strike zone is a lot easier said than done.
It was the 48th scoreless outing out of 57 total games pitched for Bostons top reliever this year, and another shred of evidence that Bard is as close to automatic as it gets out of the bullpen these days.
It was another day for a 100-mph hurler thats allowed only 3 of 29 inherited runners to score this season, and ranks third in the American League with the 10 percent inherited runners allowed this season.
Im able to pitch for strikeouts in that situation until I get that first out, said Bard. That was big. Youre saving the game even though youre not necessarily saving the game. My job is maintaining the lead and the easiest way to do that is to strike a guy out and then get a ground ball.
Bard is no longer in the middle of a 26 13 inning scoreless streak like he was during the month of July, but he leads the Sox with 57 outings this season and is second among AL relievers with a .115 batting average against for right-handed hitters.
Thats not easy. But at that point in the game Lester had pitched so well and we wanted to stay away from Alfredo Aceves, said Francona. We figure well go with Bard, and if he has to work hard enough then well go with somebody else. It just depended on how it went. But Id rather leave somebody else with a clean inning. Hes our best getting out of those innings.
Bard proved why hes the best once again when things got tight against the Royals.
Jason Varitek smacked an RBI triple to the right field gap in Sundays win over the Royals a hit that was made notable because it had been four years and 406 games since his last triple on June 24, 2007 against the San Diego Padres.
I like to space them out, joked Varitek after the game was over. Maybe the next inning I needed some oxygen. With two outs I need to make sure its something I can get to third on, and I felt like it was something I shouldnt have a problem getting to.
Its not like Jacoby Ellsbury and Carl Crawford . . . trust me.
Carl Crawford rocketed a home run in the seventh inning and has now hit safely in 20 of his last 32 games since returning from the 15-day disabled list on July 18. He is batting .287(58-for-202) in his last 53 games.
The Red Sox have hit 85 home runs on the road this season to lead the Major Leagues, and have a commanding lead over second-place St. Louis, who entered Sunday with 75 road homers this season.
Funny scene after the game with 24-year-old rookie Ryan Lavarnway readying for his first trip traveling with the Sox, and sporting a nice suit jacket that still had all of the tags on it as he walked around the visiting clubhouse.
Carl Crawford still found himself batting in the seventh spot over the weekend despite a plethora of injuries to many of Bostons best positional players, and some saw the situation as a reflection on Crawfords struggles this season.
While some of that may be true, it appears to be more about leaving the Sox left fielder in a lineup position thats become comfortable to him and getting the most out of Crawford. In 65 at bats this season in the top five spots in the Sox lineup, Crawford is hitting a scant .125 and has gathered up virtually no offensive momentum in whats been a lackluster season.
Sox Manager Terry Francona said that he had talked with bench coach DeMarlo Hale about moving Crawford up into the leadoff spot or the No. 2 hole given Jacoby Ellsburys absence in the lineup, but the big ticket free agent hasnt been a very good fit there all year.
Crawford has also stabilized at the plate a bit, and entered Sunday hitting .278 during the month of August. The last thing Francona wanted to do was change things around for his left fielder and potentially send him into another funk.
You just dont really want to bounce Crawford around too much, said Terry Francona of his outfielder that went into Sundays game hitting .251 on the season. "We just didnt think it made sense. But we did talk about it.
Some guys are creatures of habit, Francona explained. You get to like the four and five guys of your lineup, you can move other guys where youre keeping the essence of your batting order kind of the same, balance, things like that. But sometimes you cant. Just want to protect people.
Instead Marco Scutaro was given the leadoff spot over the last two games for the Sox a position where he filled in ably many times last season when Ellsbury was limited to 18 games due to fractured ribs.
Ellsbury was still sore on Sunday after getting drilled with an 88-mph fastball in the upper back on Friday night, and Francona indicated that the Sox centerfielder may miss the beginning of the Texas series as well.
David Ortiz hit for the second straight day in Kansas City, and was exuberantly running sprints through the Sox clubhouse in his flip-flops much to the amusement of Dustin Pedroia. Ortiz said that hes feeling good and was in high spirits watching the Little League World Series in the visiting clubhouse prior to Sundays series finale.
Ortiz is expected to be completely out of the protective boot on his right foot on Monday, but would still likely be a couple of days away from returning to the Sox lineup when they arrive in Texas.

Usage and abusage
As a native speaker should correct the mistakes of a foreigner or small child, discriminating users of English may advise others on usage
Sir, Charlie Friel (letter, Feb 7) makes a valid point in response to my strictures on "eclectic" (Feb 5). Words do acquire new meanings, usually without causing problems. But resistance is legitimate and sometimes successful. Just as a native speaker is entitled to correct the mistakes of a foreigner or small child, so discriminating users of a language may advise others to avoid a certain usage if they do not want to be thought sloppy.

Well, I made it to Christmas! There were times this year that I didn't think I would! I am so grateful for all the women who have gone before, who taught the doctors better ways to treat this dreadful cancer. I'm grateful I live within a few miles of a great cancer center...2 in fact...I had a choice between 2 of the best so close to home. I am thankful for great insurance that allows the best choices and eases the financial burdens. I'm so thankful for an awesome doctor, who is incredibly honest, but never giving up hope. And his staff! So compassionate! My husband has been at my side the whole way, and we are lovingly supported by friends and family all over the globe.

Beautiful I love angel cards (especially Doreen Virtue) but its not easy to have cards with my at all times. This is an amazing free app, even though they aren't by DV, I found the messages the same, beautiful designs and easy enough for anyone to use. I also love the fact you can save your message.

Janet Stephan
I love it! The more I tune in the deeper the messages resonate. Thankyou ?
Matt King
Seems consistent Don't get hung up on weather Angels or God literally exist - take as metaphors if you prefer. At worst, treat as random advice for you to filter/interpret, but I'm open. Seems to come up with same or similar cards/message i.e. not random, just that sometimes the message is what you need to here, not necessarily for the question you asked. Yes/No answers seem correct - even gives Maybe if you don't accept multiple Nos to same question. Again, doesn't seem random answers. 5 stars after over month of using ☺

A psychic gave me the same answers as this app. It has been accurate so far. I like the way too that the readings reflect directly the question I asked. Also saving me money as I asked the angels if I should buy this app. A definite no. Perhaps I don't need the extra depth right now.

In this paper we study the problem of supporting concurrent operations in B-trees and their variants. A survey of previous work is given and two basic types of solutions to this problem are identified. A new solution with a greater degree of concurrency is proposed. As solutions are surveyed or presented we identify useful techniques which have wider applicability. In particular, we introduce the technique of side-branching in our new solution.

Diabetes complications rooted in faulty cell repairJanuary 26, 2006
UF researchers restore vitality to cells in lab experiments
University of Florida researchers say primitive cells that act like molecular maintenance men-traveling throughout the body to repair damaged blood vessels-become too rigid to move in patients with diabetes, fueling the disease's vascular complications. But they have found a way to restore the cells' flexibility, at least in the laboratory, according to findings published in the January issue of the journal Diabetes.
Having diabetes markedly raises the risk of developing a host of other ailments, from heart disease to stroke, blindness and kidney failure. Many arise after blood vessels suffer damage, spurring the accumulation of fatty deposits in the arteries or the wild, blinding growth of capillaries in the eye.
"We're interested in what happens in the body at the molecular level to cause these life-threatening problems," said Mark S. Segal, Ph.D., an assistant professor of nephrology, hypertension and transplantation at UF's College of Medicine. "Our work is focused on understanding why diabetic patients are at increased risk for these other diseases."
The problem is rooted in the body's response to vascular injury. The bone marrow churns out cells crucial to repairing the damaged lining of blood vessels. But sometimes they fail to report for duty.
"Part of the defect we think is occurring in diabetic patients is these cells do not carry out appropriate repair, and therefore these patients are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease and other complications," Segal said.
The inability of the cells to repair the peripheral vasculature, the large vessels of the body, is similar to their inability to repair the small vessels within the eye, he added.
"In the vasculature it leads to atherosclerosis, and within the eye it leads to diabetic retinopathy," he said. "So the link is we have one defect in these cells that can lead to both of these problems."
UF researchers isolated these repair cells from blood samples drawn from patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease and studied them in the laboratory. The cells were unable to move about normally. But when nitric oxide gas was added, Segal said, the cells lost their rigidity, becoming suppler, and their ability to move dramatically improved.
In the body, nitric oxide occurs naturally. It helps the repair cells move out of the bone marrow where they are made, and it opens blood vessels and improves the uptake of oxygen. Patients with diabetes, however, commonly have low levels of nitric oxide.
"We went on to show that actually what's happening is nitric oxide is affecting the skeleton, or scaffold of the cell, and by adding nitric oxide we're able to rearrange the scaffold," Segal said. "When we rearrange the scaffold, the cells are able to migrate. The benefit of this is that when cells have improved movement they are able to repair the endothelium (the lining of the blood vessels) better and perhaps prevent atherosclerosis."
UF scientists suspect that in the cells taken from diabetic patients, nitric oxide interacts with a protein that steers the protein to the cell surface instead of inserting it into the cell as it would in healthy people. That causes the cell to stiffen.
The finding raises the possibility that nitric oxide could someday be used to keep the cells mobile, enabling them to travel to distant sites when needed, Segal said.
"The importance of this is related to other work that has shown that many drugs being used on the market today actually affect nitric oxide levels within these cells," Segal said. "So someday there may be two ways to help people whose cells may not function as well as they should. One is through certain medications-there may be a way we could actually give medications that would affect the nitric oxide levels within these cells and enhance their migratory ability. The other is through certain instances where we might actually collect these cells, treat them with nitric oxide outside the body and give them back to patients, to help improve the cells' migration ability."
In the future, for example, patients with diabetes and atherosclerosis who require angioplasty might receive injections of their own repair cells. The cells would be removed, incubated with nitric oxide to improve their function and then returned. They would theoretically help blood vessels heal more quickly, and perhaps keep new fatty deposits from forming, Segal speculated.
The research grew out of previous work at UF in collaboration with UF biochemist Daniel Purich, Ph.D., and pharmacologist Maria Grant, M.D. UF materials scientist Roger Tran-Son-Tay, Ph.D., among others, also participated in the current study.
"The work of Segal and colleagues is groundbreaking and provides important insights into the underlying mechanism of blood vessel damage in diabetes, which is the hallmark lesion for complications affecting the kidneys, eyes and nerves in patients with diabetes," said Anupam Agarwal, M.D., director of the Nephrology Research and Training Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Boko Haram, a Islamist group in Nigeria, denied on Monday that 20 of its fighters had been killed by Nigerian security forces in Maiduguri yesterday, instead claiming all those killed were civilians.
According to a security officer, a mixed military and police force, who had been tipped off about a Boko Haram meeting on Sunday, had been fired on when they approached the site of the meeting, Reuters reported. They killed 20 men, and lost one soldier in the shootout in Maiduguri, capital of Borno state.
"When we approached the venue of their meeting point, the terrorists opened fire on the JTF, which led to the killing of 20 terrorists while we lost one soldier and two others sustained injury," said Colonel Victor Ebhaleme, field operations officer of the military and police mixed Joint Task Force in Borno to Reuters.
Boko Haram is modeled on the Taliban and is fighting to create an Islamic state in Nigeria. According to Reuters, Nigeria's 160 million people are split evenly between Christians and Muslims.
Islamists have killed hundreds in gun and bomb attacks in Nigeria, which is Africa's top energy producer, since their uprising began in 2012. Though the violence has mainly centered on Maiduguri and other parts of the the north, which is predominantly Muslim, it has spread across central Nigeria in the past year.
A military crackdown on the sect by the Nigerian government in the past few months has had mixed results. Though Boko Haram has been apparently weakened by the offensive, it has fueled some sentment against President Goodluck Jonathan's government in a poor region that has often felt left out of the country's oil wealth, which is concentrated in the south.
According to All-Africa.com, the Christian Association in Nigerian (CAN) released a statement asking Jonathan to resign. The statement claims the CAN has faulted President Goodluck Jonathan's handling of the activities of Boko Haram, saying that the president has failed Nigerians and should resign.
