The Iraq bomb detector - a box with little in it
Check this link to BBC video on the amazing Iraq bomb detector. It sounds as if the Iraqi government has unwittingly bought itself $85m worth of dowsing equipment, on which its military have then been relying to detect bombs. The Uri Geller dowsing kit is much cheaper, and includes "crystal pendulum" too.
There is nothing to program in these cards. There is no memory. There is no microcontroller. There is no way any form of information can be stored - Dr Markus Kuhn
Randi site says:
In a refreshing news item, the BBC and others are reporting that Jim McCormick, inventor of the ADE 561 Bomb Detection Device has been arrested and charged with fraud.
McCormick sold $85,000,000 worth of these devices that he claims work on the same principle as dowsing rods, except that they detect bombs instead of water.
James Randi website here.
BBC says:
The UK government has announced a ban on the export to Iraq and Afghanistan of some so-called "bomb detectors".
It follows an investigation by the BBC's Newsnight programme which found that one type of "detector" made by a British company cannot work.
The Iraqi government has spent $85m on the ADE-651 and there are concerns that they have failed to stop bomb attacks that have killed hundreds of people.
The ban on the ADE-651 and other similar devices starts next week.
Sidney Alford, a leading explosives expert who advises all branches of the military, told Newsnight the sale of the ADE-651 was "absolutely immoral".
"It could result in people being killed in the dozens, if not hundreds," he said.
Questions were raised over the ADE-651, following three recent co-ordinated waves of bombings in Baghdad.

I know it's wrong and I know I'm a bad bad bad bad man for thinking this....but I can't stop laughing over the image of some poor bugger of a soldier waving around a battery-less device that
"... consists of a swivelling aerial mounted to a hinge on a hand grip".
It sounds like a prop from a 1960's science fiction tv show. Without the beeps and boobs.

Raccoon Hat Redneck Describes Accident [Video]
If you think for one second that reporters don't look for guys like this to put on the news, you couldn't be more wrong.
Listening to this Raccoon hat rockin' man describe the accident he witnessed makes me want to turn it into a ring tone.
I do have one confession to make though. It took me a good two or three watches to convince myself that this wasn't Justin Timberlake.
If he were to break into a verse from 'Sexy Back' I wouldn't have been surprised at all.

hi. please take a look at my photo and tell me what type of breast lift would be best for me: peri-areolar, lollipop or anchor lift. thank you!
What Type of Breast Lift is Best for Me (photo)?
Doctor Answers 10
Auto-Augmentation with Lollipop Incision
If you are happy with your current volume, but simply want the volume back where it used to be, you may be an excellent candidate for a lollipop breast lift with auto-augmentation.
This is my primary method of breast lift in patients who do not require a breast implant. This will provide natural results with suture resuspension of the breast tissue to the upper pole producing fullness/cleavage without tension on your skin. This will minimize stretching of the skin longterm.
Also, by avoiding the long horizontal scar, you will be able to show cleavage without visible scars and where swimsuits and bras that easily camouflage all your scars.
This allows for a long lasting result because the breast tissue itself has been lifted, not just the surrounding skin. I wish you a safe recovery and fabulous result!
Dr. Gill
Learn more: http://www.drpaulgill.com
Ultimate Breast Lift is BEST
You are a perfect candidate for a new technique called The Ultimate Breast Lift. This technique produces an incision only around the areola and a transverse hidden in the shadow of your breast. Through this, your breast tissue is reshaped and elevated high on the chest wall. There is never a vertical scar and the weight of your breast is transferred to the underlying muscle. This technique maintains areola sensitivity, the ability to breast feed, relieves brest pain and provides long term stability by the weight tranfer. This technique can also be used to reduce the size of your left breast to match your smaller right breast. I do not recommend the lollipop or anchor lift because of the vertical scar which can widen in time and is impossible to hide. A peri-areolar lift would not be able to provide enough elevation for you.
Best Wishes,
Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Type of Breast Lift for Me?
Thank you for the question and picture.
Based on your picture, I think you will benefit from a breast lift operation; this operation would be best performed when you have reached a long-term stable weight ( if you are not already there). Although it is not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination, most likely a full ( "anchor") sees breast lift will be necessary for the best aesthetic results.
Breast lifting involves some degree of tightening and lifting of the breast skin envelope. In order to tighten the skin envelope, skin excision is necessary; this results in the presence of scars. Sometimes, the presence of scars is a "dealbreaker"; patients would prefer to leave their breasts unchanged than to have scars. At other times, patients prefer to have the improvement in breast position, shape, and (possibly) size and are willing to accept the trade-off of scars.
I hope this helps.

Best Breast Lift For Me
Based on your photograph alone I believe that you would be a good candidate for a vertical mastopexy (Lollipop) with the possibility of a small 'T' component (which means a small horizontal scar in your central breast crease that is barely visible).
In most patients with your breast anatomy I choose to perform a 'Lollipop' lift initially. In the operating room I will then sit you up (while you are still asleep, of course) and assess your breast shape. If you still have any noticeable sag I can then add a small scar in the center of your breast crease (that is very easily hidden) to correct the sag and provide a nice shape to your breast. Doing it in this manner allows me to avoid the 'Full Scar / Inverted-T' breast lift where the scar extends along the entire breast crease and is usually visible in a bra or bikini top along the outside of your breast.
I hope this information is helpful. Best of luck!

What Type of Breast Lift is Best for Me
Thanks for the posted photo. In my opinion based on very limited input I would recommend a full mastopexy.
Best type of breast lift
I would recommend a vertical mastopexy that would leave you with a lollipop scar. I have several patients with your anatomy who have gotten excellent results with that procedure. However, different surgeons may feel more comfortable with a lift that would leave you with an anchor scar. Your surgeon should use the technique that he/she is most comfortable with to give you the best shape. I would definately not recommend a periareolar mastopexy as this will not give you enough lift or desirable shape.
Type of lift.
You will need an anchor lift. You should reach your target weight before you have surgery as weight loss after surgery will cause you to sag again.
Breast lift options depend on final outcome
Breast lift is about more than determining the degree of ptosis, which is another way to say "sag".
Defining what final outcome a patient is desiring, and assessing tissue firmness, overall dimensions, and personal choices in matters like scar position, quality, final shape and size, all contribute to determining the surgical approach.
Not everyone will be happy with the same outcome. So I recommend spending some time defining what your particular desired shape would be, and then a plan can be made to reach it from your starting anatomy.
Best of luck with your research and consult a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in all forms of breast lift to facilitate your decision making.
What Type of Breast Lift is Best for Me (photo)?
The periareolar lift would be of no help for your lift. My preference is the full anchor pattern lift for your particular anatomy.
What Type of Breast Lift
As always, this depends upon your objective. A lift is done for one or more of several reasons:
- reposition the nipple and areola
- remove excess skin
From the photo, it looks like both issues are present, and I think a full anchor pattern lift would be best. If you are looking also for more volume, and implant will fill out some of the extra skin, and a vertical (lollipop) pattern might work.
To find out what is best for you, arrange a consultation with a plastic surgeon. Thanks for the question, best wishes.

Jack S. brings up a strange case of non-disclosure at GTx ( GTXI) concerning the company's experimental hormone drug Ostarine, which is (was?) partnered with Merck ( MRK). " Merck terminated the development of Ostarine, as reported in its 10-K. My calls to GTx have not been returned. This would seem to be a huge blow to GTx and I'm shocked they haven't made a press release on this as of yet." On page 128 of its annual report filed March 1 with the SEC, Merck (newly merged with the old Schering-Plough) says this about Ostarine, referred to here as MK-2866: "Also in 2007, Old Merck and GTx, Inc. entered into an agreement providing for a research and development and global strategic collaboration for selective androgen receptor modulators ("SARMs"), a new class of drugs with the potential to treat age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) as well as other musculoskeletal conditions. Merck has discontinued internal development of MK-2866 (which is a SARM) under this agreement, and is currently discussing next steps with GTx." In response, GTx spokesman McDavid Stillwell told me, "We have no comment yet, but we will have one. I'm not sure when, but fairly soon." Ostarine (MK-2866) is a very important drug in GTx's pipeline and the collaboration with Merck helped validate the drug and added to GTX's market valuation. GTx's stock price has taken a hit this week as word of Merck's exit leaked out. GTx announces fourth-quarter financial results on March 15, so perhaps the company will say something then about the fate of Ostarine. -- Reported by Adam Feuerstein in Boston.

BEAVERTON — Archbishop Alexander Sample led West Side Catholics to Planned Parenthood here last weekend, asking that all life be respected, even the most vulnerable.
After presiding at morning Mass, the archbishop and the congregation made the walk of several blocks in the downtown core, turning the heads of morning shoppers and folks strolling to coffee shops. One passerby chided the pro-lifers for their views. Marie Barzen of St. Cecilia parish organized the Mass and march as a start to a Lenten 40-day vigil outside Planned Parenthood offices, the region's largest abortion provider.
"My goal is to energize the west side to the realization of life," says Barzen. "Forty days brings public awareness to Planned Parenthood and the harm it is causing our community."
At the Mass, the pews were filled with more than 450 people. "You've all been very gracious in thanking me for coming here, but it's not about me. It is all about you, your community, all the people who have worked hard in this pro-life movement and those of you who do stand up for life," said Archbishop Sample during his homily. The archbishop described the day's Mass as "the perfect prayer," telling those in attendance that it would serve as "the source of power," and would "strengthen our work to support women and men in mercy and love. "People are beginning to wake up! Technology has been a window to the womb. There is real hope. Pope John Paul reminds us that our current 'Culture of Death' must be overcome, and that the dignity of traditional marriage must be defended. Truth will always prevail. Keep strong in witness and prayer. Educate people of the dignity of the human person," he said.The march after Mass led the group to nearby Planned Parenthood offices, where those keeping vigil at the site will pray seven days a week throughout Lent.
A similar vigil is taking place at Planned Parenthood offices in Portland. The vigil goes from 7 a.m., until 7 p.m., ending on April 13, Palm Sunday. The day's participants included Danny Ackley, 18, and Daniel Rodriguez, 17, students at Aloha High and members of St. Cecilia's youth group. The two were there to "make a difference and evangelize," they said. "In America, all humans should be respected and have dignity including those in the womb," said Tom Eyer. For more information about the vigil, call Marie Barzen at 503-524-5326.— Ed Langlois of the Catholic Sentinel contributed to this story.

|Return of Separate Measles, Mumps, Rubella Vaccines Planned for 2011
Friday, May 15, 2009
I received official word from a Merck representative that the company plans to resume production of the separate M-M-R component vaccines. They anticipate these becoming available in 2011 (no actual month specified). This is good news for those parents who want the vaccines separated, but the two year wait will leave some kids unprotected. In my MMR blog from January (http://www.askdrsears.com/thevaccine...01_archive.asp) I discuss all the ins and outs of deciding whether or not to do the full MMR. Delaying it definitely puts children at risk of catching these diseases. Parents have to weigh all the information and decide what to do. The good news is that it looks like the separate shots will be back. I will certainly let you know as soon as they become available in 2011.
Dr. Bob
I don't know if this has already been posted... apologies if it has. There is no mention of it on the Merck site though...

While 121 million voters went to the polls and chose President Obama to serve a second term on November 6, those results are not yet official. They could however, become more formalized today.Members of the Electoral College, the true presidential deciders, convene in state capitals around the country throughout the day to choose the next president.
Remember, the Twelfth Amendment mandates that he president and vice president be chosen by the Electoral College, not the people. While representatives of the Electoral College are not obligated to vote the way their state did, they usually do. In some states, punishment for not following the will of the people consists of fines or being replaced by an alternate elector. The National Archives says electors follow the advice of the people 99 percent of the time.
Based on the vote breakdown in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, Mr. Obama won 332 electoral votes to Mitt Romney's 206. A majority of 270 are necessary to win the presidency.
The newly elected Congress meets on January 6 to certify the results. Objections can be made in writing if the objectors have the support of one senator and one member of Congress.
National Journal reports that Republicans are working to change how the Electoral College works. In all states except for Nebraska and Maine, the system is winner-take-all. Using Republican majorities in state legislatures, the proposal would allocate votes based on the outcome in each congressional district, instead of the results of the entire state. That would give Republicans an advantage as Republican presidential candidates often win more, but sparsely populated, congressional districts but can lose the state because Democratic candidates tend to win fewer, densely populated districts.

Company Says Diagonal Wiring Makes Chips Faster
A leading semiconductor-design software-tool vendor has developed an approach that would increase chip performance by running wiring diagonally—as well as horizontally and vertically, as is the case now—between transistors, on-chip memory, and other processor elements.
Cadence Design Systems says this technique would also reduce manufacturing complexity and improve energy efficiency.
Typically, the copper or aluminum wires in a chip run only along horizontal and vertical axes, an approach known as Manhattan routing. The interconnections deliver power and carry data, explained Chi-Ping Hsu, Cadence's corporate vice president for integrated-circuit digital and power forward.
In today's complex chips, which can contain "tens of miles" of wiring, there can be as many as 15 layers of circuitry, Hsu noted. Each layer generally has wiring running in just one direction. This avoids having wires in a single layer cross one another, which could cause short circuits. Additional interconnects run between the layers.
Cadence's X Architecture approach uses wiring that runs diagonally, along with the connections that run horizontally or vertically, in some layers.
Diagonal wiring enables shorter, more direct connections between processor elements in many cases and thus reduces the manufacturing complexity that Manhattan routing can require over longer distances.
The X Architecture saves energy by having signals travel between points over direct diagonal paths, which are shorter than the more indirect paths that use both the horizontal and vertical wiring in multiple layers, as Manhattan routing can necessitate.
Adding diagonal wiring also gives designers more routing options and thus greater flexibility, Hsu said. The architecture lets chip designers make more design trade-offs to get the chip characteristics needed for specific applications, such as lower dynamic operating power in mobile devices.
Also, introducing diagonal paths lowers the amount of wiring and concentrates more connections within each layer, which could decrease the number of layers. This would cut production costs. In addition, less wiring would reduce problems such as crosstalk and current leakage into the substrate, which typically decrease chips' performance and energy efficiency.
Agere Systems, which LSI Corp. recently acquired; ATI, which AMD purchased last year; and Teranetics use the X Architecture in some of their chips.
Cadence has had trouble convincing chip makers to use the X Architecture partly because it is largely untried, would force them to buy new equipment, and is supported by only one vendor, said Gabe Moretti, a veteran observer of the electronic-design-automation industry who operates the Gabe on EDA Web site ( www.gabeoneda.com).
Also, he added, "I believe that what has been demonstrated so far has yielded only marginal improvements over traditional routing techniques."
According to Hsu, the companies trying the X Architecture now are aggressive, risk-taking, and pushing the state of the art.
New Technology Transmits Data via Visible Light
Researchers are working on a technology that would utilize the LEDs in common light fixtures to transmit data over short distances.
"When LED light fixtures become commonplace, their use as a communications device will also become commonplace," predicted Shinichiro Haruyama, a Keio University professor, vice president of the Visible Light Communications Consortium (VLCC), and one of the original VLC researchers.
"LEDs are becoming popular," he explained, "because their light-emitting power is becoming large enough and their lifetime is longer than those of conventional incandescent lamps and fluorescent lights." Also, he noted, LEDs' power efficiency is greater than that of incandescent lamps and about same as that of fluorescent lights.
VLC—recently implemented in Japan—would be most useful in locations where cellular and other radio-based systems don't work optimally, such as dense urban areas.
Researchers created VLC modulators that turn the power to an LED on and off—too rapidly for the human eye to process—thereby creating binary data's ones and zeros.
A VLC system would include LED lights; photodetectors, which sense light and convert it to electricity; and a small transceiver chip that relays data between systems.
The technology could work with light sources other than LEDs. The researchers say they chose to experiment with LEDs in the belief that they will probably be used more than other types of lights in the future.
VLC's top transmission speed with common LEDs will probably be 20 or 30 megabits per second, although it could top out as high as 80 Mbps, according to Haruyama. Although the technology may be slower than some other types of short-range communications, the main benefit will be its pervasiveness, he explained.
A type of LED designed strictly for communications could offer data rates up to 500 Mbps in the future, although it would not provide a very bright light.
The technology's transmission range in tests conducted with an LED traffic light was 30 meters. However, Haruyama said, improving the receivers eventually could increase the range to a kilometer.
VLC could link to other types of wired or wireless communications networks.
In addition to communications, VLC could be used for location detection. The light in a building could send a unique location identifier, the address and room number, and the structure's longitude and latitude to a visible light receiver.
Haruyama said it remains to be seen whether adding communications features to LEDs would make them significantly more expensive and, if so, whether manufacturers would do so.
Light-based communications are not affected by electromagnetic interference. However, the technology is limited to locations at which transmitters could send light to receivers either directly or by bouncing it off another object.
Already, said Haruyama, a Hong Kong University professor is using an LED traffic light to send sound, and some Daimler Chrysler researchers are using LED head lamps and tail lamps for sending data between cars.
The Tokyo-based VLCC ( www.vlcc.net)—which includes companies such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, NEC, NTT DoCoMo, Sony, and Toshiba—coordinates VLC research and standardization. The consortium is looking at potential business models for commercializing the technology.
Researchers Herd Computers to Fight Spyware
A joint research project of Harvard Law School's Berkman Center for Internet & Society and Oxford University's Oxford Internet Institute is using a technique called herd computing to fight spyware and various types of malware.
Herd computing uses multiple computers from voluntary participants. Software runs on each client, gathers data about the computer's vital signs—such as CPU performance, memory consumption, pop-up windows, system crashes, and the activities of processes running on the computer—and sends it to a server.
The server then collects and analyzes the data, presents it in a form viewers can see, and anonymizes the material to eliminate IP addresses and other information that identifies individual machines.
Participants and network administrators monitoring the herd can view the processed information via either a browser or a light client with browser functionality.
Data transfer between elements can occur via any of a number of wired or wireless Internet-based communications technologies.
In essence, herd computing lets participants who are considering running new code see how many other machines have chosen to run the software, as well as the effects it has had on the computers, explained Oxford professor Jonathan Zittrain, who cofounded the Berkman Center.
Using participant experience or the observed behavior of applications, members could decide whether to download the software, based on their organization's computing environment and usage policies, Zittrain said.
Herd computing lets participants configure their computers to decide the extent to which they want to participate and thus how much processor and bandwidth they will contribute, he noted.
The researchers plan to include open APIs in future pilot herd networks so that users can write widgets enabling them to work with collected data as they choose.

FILED: June 30, 2010
Crook County Circuit Court
Gary S. Thompson, Judge.
Argued and submitted on November 24, 2009.
Patrick M. Ebbett, Assistant Attorney General, argued the cause for appellant - cross-respondent.Ā On the opening brief were Hardy Myers, Attorney General, Mary H. Williams, Solicitor General, and Sally L. Avera, Senior Assistant Attorney General.Ā On the reply brief were John R. Kroger, Attorney General, Jerome Lidz, Solicitor General, and Jamie K. Contreras, Assistant Attorney General.
Kristin A. Carveth, Deputy Public Defender, argued the cause for respondent - cross-appellant.Ā With her on the brief was Peter Gartlan, Chief Defender, Appellate Division, Office of Public Defense Services.
Before Landau, Presiding Judge, and Schuman, Judge, and Ortega, Judge.
On appeal, reversed and remanded; on cross-appeal, affirmed.
In this driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII) case, the trial court suppressed a statement by defendant that she would refuse to take a breath test because, having consumed two glasses of wine, she feared that she would not pass.Ā According to the trial court, defendant's statements were inadmissible because police officers did not give her Miranda warnings.Ā The state appeals.Ā ORS 138.060(1)(c).Ā Defendant cross-appeals, arguing that police did not have probable cause to arrest her. ĀWe reverse and remand on appeal and affirm on cross-appeal.
The facts are not in dispute.Ā Officer May, on patrol near Prineville, received a report from a citizen complainant who indicated that a white Ford pickup truck was swerving in its lane and repeatedly activating its left turn signal without ever turning.Ā May intercepted the truck and began following it. ĀHe saw it weaving within the lane, then crossing over the fog line, and then correcting sharply. ĀThis particularly concerned May because the roads were icy.Ā
May turned on his overhead lights and defendant pulled to the side of the road, then drove over 400 feet before coming to a stop.Ā May approached her truck, explained to defendant why she had been pulled over, and asked for her license, registration, and proof of insurance. ĀDefendant appeared confused during the encounter, and initially tried to give May her checkbook instead of her identification.Ā He noticed that her eyes were glassy, her pupils were dilated and nonreactive to light, and her speech was choppy and nonresponsive.Ā May ultimately obtained defendant's name and date of birth, instead of her identification, and returned to his car to run a record check on her.Ā It came back clear.
When May returned to defendant's truck, he asked her to perform field sobriety tests.Ā She refused.Ā After May told her the consequences of a refusal and renewed his request, she refused again.Ā May then arrested her for DUII, ORS 813.010, and took her to the local jail.Ā When they arrived there, May--without giving defendant Miranda warnings--asked her if she would take a breath test and advised her of her right to refuse.Ā Defendant asked May to explain what would happen if she refused, and he told her that a refusal could subject her to suspension of her license.Ā She then asked what would happen if she was found guilty of DUII.Ā He replied that there were different outcomes and options but that he could not tell her what the best choice was.Ā Defendant repeated her questions two or three times before May directly asked her if she would consent to the test "right now."Ā Defendant responded, "I am afraid I will fail because I drank two glasses of wine, so I am going to refuse."Ā Defendant was then cited for DUII.
At trial, defendant filed a motion to suppress her refusal and statement, arguing that she was arrested without probable cause and that May failed to give her Miranda warnings before asking her to take the breath test.Ā The trial court rejected the probable cause argument but agreed with defendant regarding her statements in response to May's question about the breath test.Ā The court found that,
"although her response very well might not be a part of a specific question other than, will you take the Intoxilyzer; the burden is on the State to prove that the statement made by [defendant] was voluntary.Ā There is no question that she was currently in custody and under arrest for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants.Ā She was asked on several occasions by [May] whether or not she would take the [breath test]. * * * The Court finds that the State has not proven that the admission made of drinking two glasses of wine was made voluntarily and orders that the admission be suppressed."
The state appeals the trial court's ruling suppressing defendant's statements, and defendant cross-appeals the court's ruling on probable cause.
We reject defendant's cross-appeal.Ā Defendant's erratic driving, evident confusion, and physical symptoms described above are more than adequate to create probable cause to believe she was driving while intoxicated.
Although the court's ruling suppressing defendant's statements is worded in terms of voluntariness, the court ruled in response to defendant's argument based on failure to administer Miranda warnings.Ā The two inquiries--whether defendant's statement was voluntary and whether she received Miranda warnings--are not necessarily the same.Ā Involuntary or coerced statements that result from custodial interrogation are inadmissible.Ā A statement may be involuntary because a defendant's will is overborne or, presumptively, because the defendant did not receive Miranda warnings.Ā State v. Vu, 307 Or 419, 424-25, 770 P2d 577 (1989).Ā In the present case, defendant's only argument on appeal is that she had a right to Miranda warnings and, because the state violated that right, her subsequent statements were presumptively involuntary and were therefore correctly suppressed.Ā She does not argue that her will was overborne by coercion.
As a general rule, officers are required to give suspects Miranda warnings when they are subject to custodial interrogation.Ā Miranda v. Arizona, 384 US 436, 86 S Ct 1602, 16 L Ed 2d 694 (1966); State v. Fish, 321 Or 48, 84, 893 P2d 1023 (1995) (Graber, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).Ā In this case, there is no dispute that defendant was in custody for the purposes of Miranda when May asked her to take the breath test.Ā The only issue is whether the officer's request constituted an "interrogation."Ā That issue arises with respect to two aspects of defendant's response to the request:Ā her statement that she had consumed two glasses of wine and her statement that she would not take the breath test.
Oregon has adopted, for the purposes of Article I, section 12, of the Oregon Constitution the definition of interrogation set out in Rhode Island v. Innis, 446 US 291, 100 S Ct 1682, 64 L Ed 2d 297 (1980).Ā See State v. Bradbury, 80 Or App 613, 616, 723 P2d 1051, rev den, 302 Or 342 (1986) (adopting Innis's definition of interrogation).Ā Under that definition,
"the term 'interrogation' under Miranda refers not only to express questioning, but also to any words or actions on the part of the police (other than those normally attendant to arrest and custody) that the police should know are reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response from the suspect."
Innis, 446 US at 301 (footnote omitted).Ā Thus, some questions are not "interrogation" (questions normally attendant to arrest and custody) and some non-questions are (statements that police should know are reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response).Ā
In State v. Cunningham, 179 Or App 498, 502, 40 P3d 535, rev den, 334 Or 327 (2002), we implicitly adopted the United States Supreme Court's explanation of what questions are "normally attendant to arrest and custody."Ā In South Dakota v. Neville, 459 US 553, 564 n 15, 103 S Ct 916, 74 L Ed 2d 748 (1983), the Court explained that a "police inquiry of whether the suspect will take a blood-alcohol test is not an interrogation within the meaning of Miranda" because it is a question "normally attendant to arrest and custody."Ā The Court reasoned that the question came within the exception because it was highly regulated by state law and presented in virtually the same words to all suspects.Ā Id.Ā Thus, even if we were to conclude that the officer's question asking whether defendant would take the breath test was intended and likely to elicit an incriminating statement--ORS 813.095(1) creates the offense of refusing to take a breath test--the question is not "interrogation" for purposes of Miranda because it is part of the normal process of arrest and custody.
Defendant argues that, because May's colloquy went beyond what is "normally presented to other suspects," the encounter differed significantly from that which is "normally attendant to arrest and custody."Ā We disagree.Ā Nothing requires a police officer to read a warning verbatim.Ā ORS 813.100, the implied consent law, is designed to overcome the possibility of physical resistance of a suspected driver, despite legal consent, without resorting to physical compulsion by imposing adverse legal consequences on a refusal to submit to the test.Ā State v. Spencer, 305 Or 59, 71, 750 P2d 147 (1988).Ā In this case, due to defendant's confusion--evidenced by her inability to locate her identification, trying to give the officer her checkbook, and choppy, nonresponsive interaction with the officer--it was reasonable for May to engage her in colloquy in order to ensure that she understood the consequences of a refusal.Ā We conclude that the court erred in suppressing evidence of defendant's refusal to submit to the breath test.
We reach a similar conclusion with respect to her statement that she had consumed two drinks.Ā Nothing in May's conversation with defendant could be regarded as likely to elicit that statement.Ā "[S]ince the police surely cannot be held accountable for the unforeseeable results of their words or actions, the definition of interrogation can extend only to words or actions on the part of police officers that they should have known were reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response."Ā Innis, 446 US at 301-02 (emphasis in original) (footnote omitted).
To summarize:Ā Defendant's statement that she would not take the breath test was not a response to "interrogation" for purposes of Miranda because the question that elicited the response was part of the normal arrest and booking procedures.Ā Her statement that she had consumed two drinks was not a response to "interrogation" for purposes of Miranda because the question that elicited that response was not a question that the police officer should have known would elicit that response.Ā The trial court therefore erred in suppressing the statements.
On appeal, reversed and remanded; on cross-appeal, affirmed.

Oxygen barely flowed into her nasal passage but she was flush with the

The howling winds acknowledged her presence.
She unburdened her baggage. Her needs were small.
She like the many had harboured a faint flicker of failure. Her expectations
were moderate.
But try she would, never bow to failures. She secretly kept her aspirations high.
She hoisted the tri-colour on Mt.Everest and said a prayer.
The climb down was treacherous but her adrenaline rising up.

text: Ok, so I mixed up one batch of caffenol-C and it went terribly wrong from the get go. so bad that I scrapped that batch and started over before I began. I followed the instructions off of the digitatruth site and mixed it up in the kitchen sink. I tried to keep the temp at a constant 20*c for 15min and did three rinses for a stop bath and fixed with Ilford @ 1:4 for 5min. After another 5min rinse I took the film out and it was totally blank. Blank as a stare from a a cow to slaughter. There might possibly be faint latent images on the film but I don't think that the best FBI lab could pull anything off of it. The recipe that I used was: 8oz (300cc) water 2-1/2 tsp Arm and Hammer soda 1 ml of Fruit-Fresh ( active ingredients: Dextrose, Ascorbic Acid, Citric Acid, Silicon Dioxide (anti caking), contains no sulfates). The vitamin C is 230% 4 tsp of "Great Value 100% Arabica Premium Instant Coffee. This is not a terrible loss even though I would like to have gotten some kind of positive results (pun intended). What could I have done different to come to the results that I was hoping for? I won't even bother to ask what I did wrong because there are just to many variables that I may not have listed or done or the stars were in the wrong alignment or maybe I didn't hold my tongue the correct way. I will still keep trying but I want to do it right. I probably should have used something other than the Fruit-Fresh. Edit: After allowing the film to dry the emulsion side is tacky to the touch and can be rubbed off. Hmmmmm.

Baseball Schools Football With Venue Change, History In Pinstripe BowlMarch 12, 2010
The debate will never end. Baseball or football? Football has the crowd, the attendance, the Super Bowl. Baseball has the history, the loyalty, and the World Series. I personally hold baseball in higher regard than football any day of the week, and always will. But as the age old saying goes: If you can't beat them, join them. And that is what has happened. College Football has come to terms with New Era Sports Apparel and the New York Yankees for Yankee Stadium to host the New Era Pinstripe Bowl December 30th, 2010, a match-up between a Big East team and Big 12 team. The agreement is reported to be for six years through a 2015 bowl game, however the two conferences have only agreed through 4 years leaving the door open for other conferences to participate.
This agreement works in favor of the Yankees and Major League Baseball to try and reach a new fan base and increase both revenue and audience. While the National Football League takes pride in its audience and Super Bowl Sunday, it has seen only 44 of those super bowl championships. Major League Baseball reveres its history more than anything and it truly transcends the game itself. With the National League in baseball dating back to the late 1980s, it was in 1903 when the first World Series, commonly referred to as the Fall Classic, was introduced. 2009 marked the 105th Fall Classic.
It will certainly be interesting to see how a football audience melds with a baseball cathedral. They will be subjected to more than Yankee history, but moreover, baseball history.

Time Warner Cable Arena (map it)
333 E Trade St
Charlotte, NC 28202
Time Warner Cable Arena website
Year Opened: 2005
Capacity: 19,000
There are no tickets available at this time.
Professional basketball has taken on quite a few different shapes in North Carolina's Queen City. The ABA's Carolina Cougars split their time across North Carolina between 1969-74, and one of the homes for this traveling troupe was in Charlotte's Bojangles' Coliseum, then simply named Charlotte Coliseum. The team also played in Winston-Salem, Greensboro and Raleigh before moving to St. Louis.
Thirteen years after the Cougars' departure, the Charlotte Hornets were born. The Hornets played in another Charlotte Coliseum -- this one off Tyvola Road, within minutes of Charlotte-Douglas International Airport -- that also hosted concerts, basketball, pay-per-view events, football and movies. Despite the on-court and attendance successes of the club, they eventually relocated to New Orleans, becoming the New Orleans Hornets (now Pelicans). The second Charlotte Coliseum was torn down five years after the club moved to Louisiana.
The Hornets' move helped land another team in Charlotte, as well as the new, modern home for which the previous club wished. Time Warner Cable Arena opened as Charlotte Bobcats Arena in 2005, and has made news for a number of reasons in its short existence. The Charlotte Bobcats -- though many Charlotteans have clamored for a return of the Hornets name to the franchise -- continue to build their team's history. Every legacy needs a great foundation, and this beautiful facility in uptown Charlotte certainly provides that foundation.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
No matter your cravings, there should be little problem finding something that satisfies those cravings. Food and beverage choices are seemingly available around every corner on both levels of the arena. The normal choices grace the stands, including hot dogs ($4.50), cheeseburgers ($6.50 for a regular, $7.50 for a bacon cheeseburger), nachos ($5.50), french fries ($4.75) and popcorn ($6.75 for "bottomless" popcorn), but there is absolutely no need to go "safe".
The unexpected is almost the norm among the concession choices. Options such as apple gouda sausages with apple slaw ($7.50), chipotle cheddar sausages ($7.50), garlic parmesan french fries ($6), pulled barbecue chicken sandwiches ($7.50), barbecue nachos ($7.75) and cheeseburger dogs ($7.50) dot the dining landscape. A Lowe's Sandwich Workstation cart operates on the concourse, with its "signature" item of a chef-carved sandwich ($9.75) satisfying several customers on the night I attended. The sandwich is made of carved sirloin or smoked turkey, and it includes your choice of cheese (provolone, cheddar or brie), smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, red onion, spicy brown mustard, horseradish and herb mayo. The sandwich is served with kettle chips and slaw.
Other choices include a donuts and coffee cart, where you can purchase a bag of donuts for $6, with hot tea, hot chocolate or freshly-brewed coffee (all $4) to wash down the tasty treats. A gluten-free cart, ironically enough, is also nearby, selling -- among other things -- gluten-free beer ($5). If gluten-free beer is not your speed, there is a margarita bar on the upper level, selling "yard margaritas" ($13) and non-alcoholic margaritas ($9).
Coca-Cola products are served for those wanting a non-alcoholic beverage. Bottled sodas are $4.50, regular fountain sodas are $5.50 and souvenir sodas are $6. Coffee ($3) and bottled water ($4.50) round out the "conventional" non-alcoholic choices. Non-alcoholic beer ($5) is available at some stands, along with regular drafts ($6.50) and large drafts ($7.75).
A sizeable atrium awaits fans who enter on the lower level. The Charlotte Bobcats team store is part of this atrium, just to the right of the entry doors. Escalators bring fans to the main concourse, which is wide and spacious. Even with the afforded space on the main level, navigation can be a bit tough as fans wait in line for food and drink or congregate among friends. Be sure to leave a couple of extra minutes to reach your seat.
Whether your seat is at floor level or near the top of the arena, the scoreboard will be clearly visible in the center of the building. The video board is 38' x 36', with a video screen aimed toward each side of the seating bowl. The board, referred to as "Bobcats TV", shows pre-game and in-game content, such as video packages, game highlights and advertisements for upcoming events at the arena. In-game promotions, including the Celebrity Look-Alike Cam and Kiss-Cam, are also shown on the board. The scoreboard portion of the board displays the score, game and shot clocks, running statistics for each player on the floor and the foul and remaining time out count for both teams. The score disappears during promotions and breaks in the action, though, so if you need to check the score during a break, there is a ribbon scoreboard that rings around the arena.
The Bobcats feature an orange bobcat mascot named Rufus. Rufus gets his name (Rufus Lynx) from that of the bobcat breed. Rufus wanders the stands, poses for photos with fans and even occasionally takes the floor to dunk. Rufus is quite the favorite in the arena, so wherever you see him wandering, be prepared for a legion of children following him.
There is also a dance/cheer team, the Lady Cats, that entertains the crowd during selected breaks. The Lady Cats also participate in certain promotions, such as the t-shirt toss. The group is extremely talented and fun to watch. The team even dresses in different costumes for each game, with special outfits for special days.
Time Warner Cable Arena is located in the heart of Charlotte's downtown (or Uptown, as it is called) district, with dining, dancing and entertainment options for every age within blocks of the arena's doors. The most obvious choice is the EpiCentre, just across the LYNX light rail tracks from the arena. 20-plus dining establishments are located within the EpiCentre, featuring everything from sit-down fine dining to frozen yogurt. A movie theater, a bowling alley, nightclubs and shopping top off the EpiCentre experience, with an Aloft hotel also located within the complex. If you feel up to going for a stroll within a few blocks of the arena, many more restaurants can be found, from Irish pubs (Ri Ra) to Southern staples (Mert's Heart and Soul).
Charlotte's center city is so full of opportunity that there is not really space in this column to explain everything that can be done. The Carolina Panthers play nearby, with Discovery Place and Blumenthal Performing Arts Center among the family-friendly options. Many of the Uptown buildings feature light displays at the holidays and throughout the year, with the Duke Energy building serving as one of the highlights of the skyline. If you see the lights and wonder what the colors mean, a Twitter account explains the light patterns. Charlotte's travel and tourism board offers a quite helpful visitor guide to those looking to make more of their time in Charlotte than just the time spent at a Bobcats game.
The night I attended a Bobcats game in spring 2013 featured a game against the visiting New York Knicks. Charlotte's banking community has drawn many transplants from the tri-state area, so a lot of Knicks jerseys and shirts were out in force for the festivities. The Knick fans certainly supported their team at every chance, but left unhappy, as the Bobcats emerged victorious.
Charlotte's fan base is still somewhat in transition. Many fans grew to love the Hornets franchise before their relocation, and they still clamor for the return of the "buzz" to the Queen City. As the Bobcats still have fewer than ten years in the city, there has not been ample time to fully establish the club in the hearts and minds of Charlotteans. That said, the team still draws quite well, especially considering the team's struggles of late. There is a precedent for winning in the town -- the Bobcats have made a playoff appearance in their short history -- and the hope is that winning basketball will return to the city in short order.
Fans in Charlotte certainly know the game, and they show up wearing their Bobcats jerseys and shirts. The volume in the arena -- from the seats, at least -- could use a boost, and a run of good seasons just may be what the doctor ordered on that front.
Despite Charlotte's size, getting to a Bobcats game presents very little in the way of headaches. The easiest way to travel from South Carolina and points south of the arena is to ride the LYNX light rail line. The ride to the arena from the southernmost point on the line is 26 minutes, and the trip allows a nice view of Charlotte's South End neighborhood as the train traverses the tracks near South Boulevard. The 5th Street/Charlotte Transportation Center (CTC) stop is just outside the arena entrance. Parking at LYNX stations is free, with a round-trip ticket available for less than $5.
If you choose to drive to the arena, numerous parking decks are available within a short walk of the arena. As with most events at the facility, event parking is $5-$10 in most decks. If you find yourself annoyed with the price of one deck, continue driving. The chances of your finding another deck in close proximity at a fair price are quite good. Ingress and egress traffic may be a problem -- this is a center-city arena, after all -- especially on a weekend.
Inside the arena, the concourse is quite wide on both levels. There are a few occasional delays in navigating the concourse, particularly after games, but there are not many total blockages. The bathrooms are nice and modern, but I saw numerous lines at the bathrooms. These lines were particularly bad during the half. If you need to use the restroom, plan accordingly.
Tickets for Bobcats games are available at virtually any price point. Single-game tickets often start as low as $10, with a number of ticket deals available from different vendors. The cheapest seats are still good seats, and the video board certainly helps. The price increases as you get closer to the floor, but an aftermarket ticket purchase may net you a good seat at a great price.
Concessions are a bit expensive, though about what one would expect at a professional sporting event. If you total the cost of the least expensive ticket, a hot dog, a bottled soda and a round-trip LYNX ride, this comes out to $23. If you know how to look around for a value, attending a Bobcats game can be a reasonably-priced affair. Once you bring the entire family or start looking for seats closer to the floor, though, things can get a bit expensive.
The scoreboard in Time Warner Cable Arena was a topic of conversation earlier in this piece, and an extra feature on the scoreboard deserves mention. The Charlotte skyline is depicted on the scoreboard, and all four sides of the board give fans a look at the city outside, all without having to leave their seats. The team also occasionally projects different images onto the skyline, giving even more of an impression of the world outside the arena. This gives the arena a real sense of location, and is a feature not found in other similar places.
As you climb the escalator to the second level of the arena, the walls around you give you a glimpse of basketball history in the Carolinas. These walls tell the story of professional and college basketball in the area, including some of the more historic events at the area's schools. Along with this visual history lesson, there is a large mural on the wall in the atrium portion of the entry. Sports arenas are not commonly known for their artwork, and this is a nice touch.
There is a large team store just inside the entrance. The store offers just about every piece of Bobcats gear one could imagine, including jerseys, hats and other logo merchandise. A game ticket is not required to access the store, as it is also open to those passing by the arena. The team frequently runs specials on gear, helping fans support their team at a reasonable price. Merchandise kiosks can also be found on the concourse, should you wish to avoid braving the crowds in the store.
Whether or not the NBA is your sport of choice, a trip to Time Warner Cable Arena is certainly worth your time. The Bobcats feature a team with a number of up-and-coming superstars, and they play in a facility that is comfortable, large and full of good food and drink options. Though the team might be going through an identity crisis with some fans and their on-court success has not been to the level many would like of late, the future appears bright in center-city Charlotte.
Unique Features
I would also like to add that TWC Arena has a few features which help it stand out from the pack of newer high-tech arenas built around the country over the last number of years.
The first, and most eye-catching, is the center-hung scoreboard. The largest scoreboard in the country in an indoor venue, the most unique feature is the 3-Dimensional Uptown Charlotte skyline atop the scoreboard. Complete with a projection system backdrop the scoreboard allows fireworks to be "shot" across the Charlotte skyline after a big win or project a plane flying a banner across the sky encouraging the crowd to "get loud!"
Another unique feature of TWC Arena is the amount of artwork present. You can't walk very far around any of the concourses here without having to stop and take a gander at a piece. The best feature is that all the pieces relate to something of significance for the Charlotte region, the Carolinas, or basketball. One piece that can't be missed is the 2,200 sq. ft mural of basketball history in the Carolinas located along the large wall in the grand foyer entry area. The mural is formed using 1.5" ceramic tiles, just imagine how many it took to complete! You will find Jerseys of famed players from the Carolinas or whom played in the Carolinas (college/professionally) hanging throughout.
Also you will find the jersey of every high school state champion from both North & South Carolina hanging in the arena, on display for one year until time to be replaced by the jerseys from each respective state's new champions of each classification level.
Another aspect of TWC Arena that isn't seen in every NBA venue is an area on the main concourse which features a full-service bar and food court that overlooks the Bobcats main practice facility below. Large windows allow you to peer into this area and view the two courts where the Bobcats hone their skills each day.

Time Warner Arena
Your review seemed to be pretty positive except for the fans.Perhaps it is the lack of big time players,and a winning tradition that presents a problem there.I was also short of a heart attack on the food prices.If I was planning on going there,I would eat before I got there.In any event ,you seemed to be pretty pleased overall with the experience,and that is a good thing.

You must be a Stadium Journey member to post a comment.
Welcome to the home of the Charlotte Bobcats, Time Warner Cable Arena, a.k.a. "The Cable Box." Time Warner Cable Arena, opened in 2005, has been the home venue of the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL and has hosted the ACC Men's Basketball Tournament. The Cable Box also hosted WWE Wrestling, blockbuster concerts from famous acts such as The Black Eyed Peas, and U2. Most importantly to fans, it also hosted the first ever Charlotte Bobcats playoff appearance in 2010.
I got the chance to catch a game last season while in town, and I liked the stadium. It's right downtown which has really been revitalized. There are some nice restaurants and bars to hit before or after the game. The stadium itself was nice. Our seats were pretty high up but still had a great view. There was enough to keep the kids busy as well with some areas for them to play basketball. The only thing really lacking here were the fans, but that has a lot more to do with the lack of winning that has gone on there in Charlotte.
I liked the fact we could take the train into town and be dropped off basically at the stadium. It's always nice to be downtown in a major city and not have to worry about traffic, so that was a huge plus for me.
If you are a basketball fan, take in a game. I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

Real Estate Law Questions and Answers
The following are real estate litigation legal questions and answers. For more real estate legal information, contact a real estate attorney, real estate agent or mortgage broker in your area.
- Should I work with a real estate agent? A real estate lawyer? Others?
- What is the difference between a real estate broker and an agent?
- Should we consider buying a home in foreclosure?
- What questions should I ask when looking at homes?
- What is a purchase offer?
- What good is title insurance?
- Why is a deed required?
Question: Should I work with a real estate agent? A real estate lawyer? Others?
Answer: There are professionals who can help you with the purchase of a home and offer direction on what you should consider:
- A real estate agent can advise you on the marketplace and what is available in your price range, as well as help you to consider aspects of a home which may be important to you (such as nearby schools, shopping, and commuting options)
- An accountant or mortgage loan officer can help you determine what kind and amount of mortgage payment you can afford and alert you to the estimated property taxes which would be owed annually. A loan officer can also help you pre-qualifying for a real estate loan.
- A homeowners insurance agent can provide information on the amount, type and cost of coverage you'll likely need
- Moving companies. It can be costly to move your worldly goods from one point to the next, so check with full service as well as rental companies.
Question: What is the difference between a real estate broker and an agent?
Answer: A real estate broker is generally a person or a company holding a license to represent parties in real estate transactions. A real estate agent is either a broker or someone who works under the umbrella of a broker's license. So a broker might be one of the nationally-recognized brokerage firms, but the agent would be the one who is actually working with you.
Question: Should we consider buying a home in foreclosure?
Answer: Purchasing a home
in foreclosure often appears to be a good value, but factors
outside of the price need to be considered:
The purchase of a foreclosure often is a "cash only" sale
Can you view the actual condition of the home inside and out before placing a bid? The home may be in need of extensive repairs driving up the actual cost of the home.
Are there liens for taxes or mechanics liens that the winning bidder will be responsible for?
Is there a redemption period for the previous owners? If so, how long do they have the ability to buy the house back before you can move in?
Question: What questions should I ask when looking at homes?
Answer: Many of your questions should focus on potential problems and maintenance issues. Does anything need to be replaced? What things require ongoing maintenance (e.g., paint, roof, HVAC, appliances, carpet)? Also ask about the house and neighborhood, focusing on quality of life issues. Be sure the seller's or real estate agent's answers are clear and complete. Ask questions until you understand all of the information they've given. Making a list of questions ahead of time will help you organize your thoughts and arrange all of the information you receive. The HUD Home Scorecard can help you develop your question list.
Question: What is a purchase offer?
Answer: A purchase offer or agreement contains
all the details of the offer to purchase a piece of property.
An agreement is binding only once the document has been agreed
to and signed by the buyer and seller. Often in the purchase
of real estate, there are a number of offers and counter offers
until an agreement is reached.
Items and conditions that are often included in the purchase offer include:
- Description, legal and common, of the property
- Purchase price
- Earnest money
- Features and fixtures which are to remain
- Home inspection results
- Anticipated financing
- Closing date
- Final inspection and move-in condition
- Penalties for breaking the offer
- Response time to accept the offer
- Obtaining clear title to the property
- Clean inspection report
Question: What good is title insurance?
Answer: A title search and the issuance of title insurance means the ownership of the property can be cleanly conveyed to the new owners. During the search, the history of the property is researched verifying that all previous claims or liens have been satisfied, allowing a clear title to be issued. If any claim is overlooked, the title insurance protects the owner from the claim. Remember that if it's not in writing on a real estate deal, it's not enforceable.
Question: Why is a deed required?
Answer: A deed transfers ownership of property from one owner to the next. Deeds are recorded in the county where the property is owned. There are three types of deeds:
- Full covenant and warranty deed – which guarantees no other person owns or has claims against the property
- Bargain and sale deed – used in some states but does not guarantee that the property is free and clear of any claims
- Quit claim deed – transfers interest in a piece of property from one owner to the next. A quit claim deed provides no guarantee from other interests or claims
In some states, a deed of trust is used instead of a mortgage. If there is a mortgage on the property, the deed references the lender. The name of the owner is put on the deed only when the loan is paid off.
