Boston terror suspect awake, responding to questions
The surviving suspect in Monday's Boston Marathon bombing, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, regained consciousness Sunday evening and is responding to questions in writing, according to USA Today.
Tsarnaev is in a Boston hospital and unable to speak because of a gunshot injury to the throat. Authorities have suggested the bullet wound may have been self-inflicted by the suspect in order to avoid capture, DPA reported.
Earlier in the day Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said that Tsarnaev was not in any condition to be interrogated.
Reports circulated Sunday that federal officials were considering formally charging the suspect at his heavily guarded bedside. However, officials later said no charges would be filed on Sunday.
Meanwhile, lawyers with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) protested in a statement Sunday against the decision by the US Department of Justice to waive the rights of Tsarnaev to remain silent in the face of questioning and to legal representation.
The so-called Miranda rights apply to every accused person in the United States. Following a previous attempted terrorist bombing in New York's Time Square, however, the US government created an exemption in cases of the immediate danger of terrorism.
Under that, Miranda rights could be set aside and suspects identified as "enemy combatants."
In a statement, ACLU executive director Anthony Romero said every suspect deserved the right to the Miranda rules and that the exception for public safety should be used only in the most limited circumstances.
The abrogation of these rights would impede the ability of the justice system to come to fair conclusions, he added.
Conservative politicians have expressed the opposite opinion, with Republican Senator Lindsey Graham stating Saturday that the last thing the country needed was for the Boston terrorist suspect to remain silent. His conservative colleague and former presidential candidate John McCain also called for the suspect to be treated as an "enemy combatant."
After his capture on Friday, Tsarnaev lay in the same hospital as 11 of the victims of the twin blasts of April 15. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his 26-year-old brother and alleged co-conspirator in the attacks, died after a firefight with police earlier that day.
The Boston Globe reported Sunday that after Monday's bombing Dzhokhar Tsarnaev returned to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where he was enrolled, on Wednesday. He worked out in the gym and even attended a party.
"He was just relaxed," said a fellow student.
Interfax news agency cited anonymous sources as saying that Russian authorities had no evidence of a connection between the two brothers and the conflict in the northern Caucasus, though the two men were of Chechen origin. Russian security forces would, however, continue to pursue possible leads in the matter, the report said.
US media earlier reported that investigators in Boston were looking into links between the Tsarnaevs and a group of terrorists in Chechnya. Tamerlan is said to have spent several months Chechnya and neighbouring Dagestan in 2012.
According to Russian media, Anzor Tsarnaev - the father of the two suspects - has expressed the wish to bury his son Tamerlan in Degastan, where the father currently resides.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino have also called for a state-wide moment of silence on Monday at 2:50 pm local time (1850 GMT).

The Bank of England (BoE) held off at its latest meeting on pouring additional funds into the British economy, opting instead to rely on a new lending scheme devised by the bank as concern over inflation grew.
Reuters reported Thursday that the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decided that unexpectedly strong Q3 economic reports justified abstention from additional QE, although should the situation change for the worse that could change. The MPC also kept the main interest rate at 0.5%, a move expected by economists.
While at last month's meeting MPC member Martin Weale pointed out that another round of quantitative easing could prove to be incompatible with the bank's inflation target, and BoE chief economist Spencer Dale said that inflation was sticky, inflation actually fell in September to 2.2%. But that is above its 2% target, and it doesn't include the large price increases from four of Britain's biggest energy suppliers that have taken effect.
The MPC also hopes the bank's new Funding for Lending Scheme will provide much-needed credit to both businesses and consumers, although it could be a few more months before the effect on the British economy is noticeable.
"We are pretty sure that the economy will need more stimulus in the months ahead," said Vicky Redwood at Capital Economics in the report. She added, "And we do not think that the committee is out of firepower yet. In any case, conceding that there is nothing more it can do would hardly help confidence."
Redwood also pointed out that while more gilt purchases were still likely in the near term, afterward "the MPC will have to venture into even more unconventional territory," perhaps by such strategies as the purchase of private-sector assets.

Oksana is pregnant. The National Enquirer broke the story first, now TMZ is confirming it.
That cheesy looking piece Mel Gibson dragged out to Wolverine a few weeks ago. Remember how smug they looked?
For her it's because she's secured herself a crazy bank account. For him, yeah we get it. At 52 Mel is still a prolific progenitor. His penis is fully operational. Also, God must be happy. No contraception!
So many smutty angles on this one. Of course it has everything to do with money. Mel is negotiating a divorce agreement. They say it's amicable. If I'm the ex wife, I keep it amicable so long as this mail order golddigger doesn't Heather Mills herself all over the Gibson Trust. Because according to his personal beliefs, marriage must happen. Like Mrs. Oksana.
Wonder if Robyn even knew about the baby…
Wonder if Oksana will enjoy sharing her future fortune with the Church of Mel Gibson.
Ugh. Remember when Mel Gibson used to be charming?

San Francisco: Google used its annual conference for software developers, Google I/O, to unveil several new products, services and features. They include enhancements for online games, maps, search, music and photos and are meant to help the company cement its role in people's technological lives. Here's a look at some of the announcements made at Wednesday's keynote at Google I/O.
Music streaming:
All Access will blend songs you have already uploaded to your online libraries with millions of other tracks for a $10 monthly fee. This puts Google in competition with paid subscription plans such as Spotify and Rhapsody and free music services such as Pandora.
All Access became available in the U.S. on Wednesday and comes with a 30-day free trial. If you start the trial by June 30, the monthly fee drops to $8. That's $2 cheaper than leading competing plans. It is expected to roll out soon in 12 other countries where Google currently sells music – 10 European countries such as the U.K., France and Germany, as well as Australia and New Zealand.
The new service will allow you to search for songs, albums or artists directly, or peruse 22 different genres. Google curators will also offer recommendations based on your listening behavior and your existing library of songs. You can listen to any available song right away, or switch to a "radio" format that creates a playlist of songs that you might like. Radio playlists can be adjusted on the fly by deleting or re-ordering upcoming songs. Google describes all of this as "radio without rules."
By combining an unlimited-access subscription plan with music sold through Google's online Play store, All Access covers any gaps. Some artists, including Taylor Swift, keep recent releases away from streaming services for several months in order to boost download sales. All three major recording labels – Vivendi's Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Music Group Corp. – are participating in All Access.
Google Plus:
Google is adding 41 features to its Google Plus social network as it tries to turn it into a more formidable threat to Facebook. The new features started appearing Wednesday and draw upon the computing power, algorithms and other innovations that have made Google the leader in search.
A new photo-management tool will pick out the best shots from a wide assortment of photos. Just upload a bunch, and Google's machines will reject ones that are blurry or don't have people smiling. Another factor is Google's knowledge of who's important to you – so family members or close friends are more likely to make the cut.
If the photos don't look quite right, Google is promising to enhance them, taking over a job that typically requires people to buy and master special photo-editing software. Computer-controlled editing tools will automatically remove red eyes, soften skin tones, sharpen colors and adjust contrast. Google offers something similar through an "I'm Feeling Lucky" button on its Picasa editing software.
Another feature promises to stitch together a sequence of photos taken of the same group of people or a panoramic scene. This stitching system can be used to create a single photo that pulls the best shots of everyone featured in a series of pictures. It will also produce an animated clip featuring the motions of people captured in a succession of photos taken against the same background.
Google is also expanding the storage limit for full-resolution photos. Instead of five gigabytes for free per account, you'll get 15 gigabytes.
Other enhancements to Google Plus include a newly designed stream of content, which moves away from the list of posts found on Facebook. It will also automatically add hash tags to identify the main topic being discussed in a post or featured in a photo, and it will use those tags to bring you related posts. Facebook doesn't use hash tags, though Twitter and Instagram do.
Online games:
Google is adding leaderboards and the ability to match players in online games to its Android operating system for smartphones and tablet computers. The new features match those available in Apple's Game Center for the iPhone and iPad. Google is also making it possible to save game progress online, so players can pick up games where they left off, even on other devices.
Getting into gaming gives Google an opportunity to participate in one of the most popular activities on mobile devices.
Google says the leaderboards will also be available through a browser on regular computers. Apple's Game Center works on Mac computers, too.
Maps, search and chat:
Google introduced new features for its mapping apps on Android devices and iPhones. When you search for restaurants in a city or neighborhood, you'll get the names of the restaurants along with their ratings at the bottom of the screen. You can swipe through the results horizontally. The mapping app will also include Google Offers – deals akin to those from Groupon Inc. and LivingSocial.
Google is making images from its Google Earth service available on the Web browser. Before, you had to install separate software to use Google Earth. One feature demonstrated Wednesday is the ability to see a view of earth from space and rotate it around.
Google Maps on the Web also has a new look, taking up the entire screen. Names of destinations that used to be on the left of the map are being embedded on the map itself.
For mobile devices, Google is optimizing its mapping app for tablet computers such as the iPad. That will allow the app to take advantage of the larger screen. It's expected this summer.
Google will integrate what it knows about users with its search function, so it can reply to questions like "What's my gate number?" or "my restaurant reservation." Google already makes this available through its Google Now service on Android devices, iPhones and iPads. Now, it's available to anyone using its Chrome browser on traditional computers.
Meanwhile, Google is streamlining its communications tools, offering a new app to combine its chat and Hangout services. It keeps a record of past conversations, though there's a way to turn that off. It will be available for Android and Apple devices, as well as regular Web browsers on computers. The new application is called Hangouts.
New phone:
A variant of Samsung Electronics Co.'s Galaxy S4 phone will run a pure version of Android. That's the version that Google makes and distributes, not the one modified by Samsung to include a host of features that have been dismissed as confusing gimmicks in reviews by The Associated Press and others.
The new phone will be unlocked, meaning it will work with any carrier, including those abroad. But it also means the price won't be subsidized by the carrier. Google will sell it for $649 starting June 26, rather than the usual $200 or so with a two-year contract. Google says that the new phone will be able to get Android updates as they come. U.S. carriers sometimes block those updates from getting to locked phones.
Developer tools:
Google unveiled a number of tools that software developers could incorporate into their apps.
One will allow apps to track what users are doing, such as walking. It may appear creepy to users, but Android executive Hugo Barra says the tools will allow developers to create "a whole new category of awesome apps."
Another tool will help software developers make sure their apps work well on different screen sizes. That's important because some people use phones and others use mid-size or larger tablets. Developers will want to make sure their apps are pleasant across the board.
Other tools promise to help developers get more users and make more money through their apps, such as by better understanding how effective their ads are in getting people to download their apps.
Some of the new tools will help Android users directly. With new technology for syncing notifications on different devices, a notification you dismiss on a phone won't reappear when you check your tablet. Google also says its Google Play store will make recommendations for apps, books, movies and music based on the device you are using. After all, what works well on a tablet might not on a phone.
Google Play for Education, launching this fall, is designed to help get Android tablets into schools. One feature will allow educators to distribute an app to hundreds of tablets with a single click. Schools will able to pay for apps by charging against an account set up ahead of time. Normally, a credit card is required, something difficult for schools to use for purchases.

The Latest: France Coach To Players: Embrace Cup Pressure
PARIS (AP) — The Latest on the draw for the Women's World Cup (all times local):
8:30 p.m.
France coach Corinne Diacre is urging her players not to let the pressure of playing at home get to them.
The French have been drawn in Group A with South Korea, Norway and Nigeria. They open at Parc des Princes against South Korea on June 7.
"It should be an advantage and not a pressure to have the public behind us," said Diacre, who became the first woman to coach a professional men's team in France when she took charge of second-division Clermont in 2014.
Diacre tried to play down expectations and keep her players grounded.
"I don't know if it's a good draw, we'll see after the group stage," she said. "If we finish top of the group we know we can still come up against the United States in the quarterfinals. But that's the way it goes."
7:30 p.m.
The draw is complete. Here are the final groups that will play next year at the Women's World Cup in France:
Group A is France, South Korea, Norway and Nigeria.
Group B is Germany, China, Spain and South Africa.
Group C is Australia, Italy, Brazil and Jamaica.
Group D is England, Scotland, Argentina and Japan.
Group E is Canada, Cameroon, Netherlands and New Zealand.
Group F: United States, Thailand, Chile and Sweden.
6:50 p.m.
The United States has landed in Group F in the Women's World Cup draw on Saturday.
The defending World Cup champions will be joined in the group by Sweden. It is the fifth straight time the two opponents have been in the same group and the sixth time overall.
It will be a rematch of the Olympic quarterfinal in Brazil, where Sweden advanced on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Afterward U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo called the Swedes "cowards" for focusing on defense. Solo was later suspended and U.S. Soccer terminated her contract.
Sweden is ranked No. 9 in the world in the latest FIFA rankings. The U.S. is ranked No. 1.
6:30 p.m.
Former England defender Alex Scott is talking up her country's World Cup prospects under coach Phil Neville. Neville is the former Manchester United and England defender who played in three European Championships.
England was the surprise third-place finisher in the Women's World Cup in Canada in 2015. The team is ranked No. 4 in the FIFA world rankings.
Scott appeared in 140 matches for England from 2004-17.
Speaking on the stage at Saturday's draw, Scott says: "Bronze medal is good, but it's about turning that bronze one into gold and standing on that podium."
6:20 p.m.
U.S. women's national team midfielder Carli Lloyd says she's confident the Americans will successfully defend their title next summer at the Women's World Cup.
Lloyd scored three goals in the final in the 2015 World Cup in Canada, and the United States defeated Japan 5-2 for their third overall championship in soccer's most prestigious tournament.
She was asked on stage at the draw event inside La Seine Musicale on Saturday how confident the U.S. team is heading into the tournament.
She said: "Pretty confident I must say. This squad is as talented as can be, we've got the depth and a great coaching staff in place."
6:10 p.m.
The 24 teams that qualified for the Women's World Cup are set to learn their opponents for the tournament's group stage next summer in France.
Saturday's draw for soccer's most prestigious event is taking place inside La Seine Musicale, a dome-shaped concert hall perched over the river Seine on the outskirts of Paris. The draw is far enough away from the city center to not be affected by the widespread anti-government demonstrations taking place all day.
Those attending the draw include Carli Lloyd, who scored a hat trick for the United States in the final of the 2015 World Cup in Canada. The Americans defeated Japan 5-2 for their third overall World Cup title.

The University Library: A Vibrant Place, Key Collections, and Crucial Services
M. Elizabeth Cowell, Interim University Librarian
As Interim University Librarian I have great hopes and aspirations for the UCSC Library and am proud to represent this great organization as part of the campus leadership. My predecessor and dear colleague Ginny Steel is now University Librarian at UCLA.
The University Library is well known to the campus community as a place, collections, and a set of services that support UCSC's academic mission. I continue to advocate for these important roles.
To enhance our role as place, our number one fundraising priority is the renovation of the Science and Engineering Library. The facility is in need of an update and we are excited to apply all we learned from the McHenry Library project to the rejuvenation of this beautiful building. Read the interview with Greg Careaga about the project to learn more. Your support of this project will allow us to realize our vision to create a state-of-the-art space for the UCSC community.
Published research is a key part of our collections. In support of new modes of scholarly communication, the University of California Academic Senate recently voted to approve a systemwide open access policy for Senate faculty. The policy grants a license to the University to make published articles deposited by faculty in an open access repository freely available to the public. Learn more about how the Library supports this important policy.
As researchers in all disciplines from music to engineering produce data in digital form, libraries are becoming more active in areas such as data management and the digital humanities. Library staff members help researchers create the data management plans frequently required by funding agencies and both preserve and provide access to data created through the research process. We are actively looking for ways to collaborate with campus divisions and departments to highlight the library's role in these emerging areas.
As always, I welcome your feedback. I can be reached via email at firstname.lastname@example.com and look forward to hearing from you.
Reinvigorating the Science and Engineering Library:
An Interview with with Greg Careaga
Ethan Henderson, Senior Director Library Development
Dedicated in the spring of 1992, the Science and Engineering Library—"S&E" as its avid users fondly call it—is among the most beautiful buildings on campus. Designed by the award-winning San Francisco architecture firm of EHDD, it sits nestled among the redwoods on Science Hill. Its collections and librarians support Physical & Biological Sciences and Engineering, among many other disciplines. Data-heavy as these disciplines are, their needs change at breathtaking speed, and the UCSC Library must constantly stay current with technological developments. The American Institute of Architects awarded S&E the Award of Excellence for distinguished accomplishment in library architecture. Now, we envision a renovation that will re-configure the interior of the building to accommodate more group study rooms, collaborative workspaces, a café, a late-night study area, state-of-the-art information commons, and a laptop bar, among other improvements.
I sat down with Greg Careaga, Head of Research, Outreach, and Instruction for the UC Santa Cruz Library, to talk about the upcoming renovation of the Science & Engineering Library.
Why does the S&E Library need renovation? It looks nice from the outside.
The Science & Engineering Library opened in 1991. That was right around the time the World Wide Web was born, but before we understood how the Web would change the way we interact with information and one another. We designed a library for researchers who relied on printed books and serials, at a time when 'cutting-edge technology' meant searching indexes and abstracts on CD-ROM and 'online searching' meant a command line interface that required professional mediation. We designed a library for a student body of 9,000 that didn't depend on laptops or cellphones and that didn't need access to a wireless network.
We have evolved over the years and continue to work hard to keep up with changing times. Our physical collections grow more slowly now. Our online collections have become vast and far more accessible. So we are a virtual as well as a physical library today, and many researchers use our resources from their homes and offices. But our student body—now over 17,000—depends on the physical library as much as it ever has. Students need access to new tools to help them visualize and synthesize information into knowledge. They need access to a clean, safe, quiet place to study, 24 hours a day and at least five days a week. They need more collaboration spaces, and they need more access to power and data to support their ubiquitous use of mobile technologies. If we are to do a proper job of supporting the next generation of students, it is more than we can do piecemeal.
What departments/divisions does the S&E Library mainly support?
The library supports students from across campus who appreciate its convenient location on Science Hill, its resources, and an environment that is conducive to serious study. The library's collections directly support the Jack Baskin School of Engineering, the Division of Physical and Biological Sciences, and their 34 undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
What if I were student who wanted a space where I could create presentations with classmates and have cutting-edge technology to help with our research. Will S&E have this?
The S&E library currently has eight group study rooms and we have a goal to create several more. We intend to create a variety of spaces to accommodate different group sizes and different collaboration requirements, such as teleconferencing support. We do intend to have a presentation space for students to develop and rehearse their work.
Providing students with cutting-edge technologies is a trickier thing. 'Cutting-edge' is elusive; what is revolutionary now may well be overtaken by the next wave of technology in five years time. That is why we are creating the Fund for Innovation in Library Learning Technologies. With the help of our supporters, we will maintain a technology infrastructure that is fresh and relevant to 21st-century scholars long after the big renovation project is complete.
Our current vision for providing cutting-edge technologies and services includes support for natural user interface computing, 3-D printing, and 3-D visualization.
The future of libraries is constantly changing. How do you envision S&E supporting future needs of students and faculty?
There are still some constants. The campus teaches a rigorous curriculum in a ten-week quarter and our students tell us that they need the library as a refuge from the distractions of dorm or apartment life. Whether they are solo reading or working together in small groups, they tell us that being a part of a disciplined study environment is vital to their academic success.
In the past, scholars published the results of their research but their data were their own. Today, many scholars are encouraged or required to share their raw data. The library can help students and faculty to organize, describe, preserve, and expose their data for discovery and reuse by the broader research community.
We want a cafe up on this side of campus. Will S&E have one? And what other cool concepts are being planned?
The Global Village Café at McHenry Library has been a great success, and one we hope to replicate at the Science & Engineering Library. We have a space in mind, and a lot of hard work ahead of us, before we realize our goal to bring a café to Science Hill.
We are very proud of our work in support of the very successful Computer Game Design program. Our console gaming laboratory is very cramped. We hope to expand it to better support student research and study with respect to the history, evolution, and design theory of console games.

Virtual Visits to the Past: Havana, Lick Observatory, and UCSC
Susan Chesley Perry, Head of Digital Initiatives, and Elisabeth Remak-Honnef, Head of Special Collections and Archives
Some stunning images, including scenes of 1930s Havana, were recently made available as digital images on the Library's Digital Collections site.
Staff from both Special Collections and Archives and the Digital Initiatives Department have been collaborating to make these and campus-related pictures available to anyone with an Internet connection.
Here's a taste of what we've been working on:
Branson De Cou Digital Archive
These images document urban and rural landscapes that no longer exist due to the ravages of war, revolution, and time. This archive is the most frequently consulted of all digital archives owned by UC Libraries.
Images of Cuba were recently added to this amazing collection of hand colored lantern slides produced by Branson DeCou between 1920 and 1941. Other countries represented include Russia, Ireland, Germany, and Italy. Images of Latin America and France are next in line for digitization.
Portraits from the Lick Observatory Digital Archive
Often requested at our service desk, these portraits from the Lick Observatory Digital Archive document resident and visiting astronomers at Lick Observatory from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We have been pleased and amazed at the heavy use that these 450 digitized portraits have received in the short time since they were made digitally available.
In preparation for UCSC's upcoming 50th anniversary in 2015, our two departments have been very busy processing and digitizing a selection of materials that document the campus' history, including student publications and photography from the late 1950s to the present. So far, we have added almost 1,400 photographs to the Digital Collections. Please help us to identify faces and places! Add tags or comments at the bottom of a photo page if you recognize a person or location we haven't identified.
Hundreds of student publications from all the colleges are currently being prepared for scanning and other campus publications will also be selected.
In addition, many new campus oral histories have been published and are available online. Interviews with James Clifford, Pedro Castillo, Bill Friedland, Helene Moglen, and Carol Freeman are among those recently completed.
There are plenty of other projects in the works—these are just a few to whet your appetite! Please take a look at these sites; we welcome your comments. And of course, you are always welcome to visit Special Collections and Archives to look at the original materials.
A Love Letter in Thousands of Pieces: the Jerry Garcia Memorial Altar Collection
Nicholas Meriwether, Grateful Dead Archivist
One of the most colorful and compelling collections in the Grateful Dead Archive is the Jerry Garcia Memorial Altar Collection, a trove of more than 3,000 items donated to UC Santa Cruz by Garcia's daughter, Theresa "Trixie" Garcia. The collection consists of poems, letters, art, and artifacts that fans brought to the celebration of Garcia's life held on August 13, 1995, in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, where the band had often played free concerts during their tenure in the Haight-Ashbury.
The celebration lasted all afternoon, and the centerpiece of the event was the creation of a magnificent shrine to the beloved musician. Assembled on a section of the bleachers next to the Polo Fields, the altar, as it was dubbed, featured a giant portrait of Garcia in the center, with row after row of fan tributes around and below. Dozens of volunteers and Bill Graham Presents staffers helped ferry treasures, creating a spectacular memorial to the fallen musician.
It was a remarkable sight, a spontaneous, communal gesture that was a physical manifestation of fans' affection for Garcia, a tribute to what his example represented to so many people over so many years. As noted Grateful Dead radio host and writer David Gans commented afterwards, "Most of the people who loved Jerry Garcia never met him, but they felt intimate with him just the same." The offerings placed on the bleachers that day expressed that intimacy. Scott Carlson, a volunteer in Special Collections, calls it "one huge love letter in thousands of pieces."
One staffer who helped that day wrote afterwards that he had carried "flowers, beads, crystals, rings, shoes, socks, hats, t-shirts, photos, cookies, candles, incense, balloons, earrings, poems, prose, sobriety tokens, pinwheels, prayer flags, drawings, rocks, guitar picks, guitars, zucchinis, troll dolls, a tiny Barbie, bread in the shape of a lightning bolt, rose petals, Buddhas, Gumbys, saints, madonnas," and more.
After the memorial, the artifacts were carefully packed away and eventually given to Theresa Garcia, who donated the collection to UC Santa Cruz. Work has begun to catalog and preserve this powerful legacy of the Grateful Dead phenomenon, with plans underway to sponsor a campaign to raise needed funds to fully process and house this mammoth archive.
When that work is complete, the finished collection will represent one of the most evocative expressions of the band–fan bond that defined the core of the Grateful Dead experience—and a document of the spirit that continues to animate the Archive today.
A Personal Planned Giving Story
A Library Supporter
As a young Navy wife, I was quickly brought face-to-face with the reality that my husband, a carrier pilot, could die doing his work. You bet we had wills! The Navy saw to it that we did. Those wills have been revised many times, most recently to include the littlest member of the family, granddaughter Ella.
My entire life's work has been about connecting people with the information they need to flourish in their lives. First as a librarian, then as manager of software development, and now as a UCSC staff member privileged to use the University Library, I've always believed that access to an excellent library is a basic requirement of a good life. Thus, for me, it was natural that I'd leave a gift to my public library. And, again, it felt the natural thing to do to remember the University Library in my estate plans.
No one wants to think about dying. So, we postpone making a will . . . we just don't want to even consider it. Oh, it is so much trouble to gather up the documents. How do I find a trustworthy lawyer to guide me through the process? What is this going to cost? Our internal dialogue goes on and on.
Give your family the gift of having clearly stated your wishes. What is your life about? Do you have a passion for women's education? For animal welfare? For libraries? If you've got a passion, something that tugs at your heart, let your dollars act on your behalf after your time to dance on the planet has ended. You can do this and provide for those whom you love. Your family will appreciate your foresight. Besides, it just feels good.
UCSC's Office of Planned Giving offers help and guidance in will-making. When you ask, you'll receive two booklets: one provides a form to get you started on making a will; the other provides valuable advice on ways to make a gift AND gain tax advantages or income for life. Just imagine the good your gift can do. And, yes, please remember the University Library in your estate plans. A gift to the Library is a gift to every member of the University community.
Special Collections Fall 2013 Exhibit:Art of the Book in Santa Cruz
Special Collections has long supported the thriving Santa Cruz book arts and printing community and has documented the presses established on the UCSC campus. The fall 2013 exhibit in Special Collections will highlight a selection of locally produced artists' books and fine printing from the last 30 years.
All visitors are welcome to visit the exhibit in the reading room, open Monday through Friday from 10:00 am to noon and 1:00 to 4:00 pm. The exhibit will be on display from early October 2013 through early January 2014.

Crossman v. Life Care Centers of America, Inc.
In Crossman v. Life Care Centers of America, Inc., the North Carolina Court of Appeals recently upheld the invalidation of a healthcare arbitration agreement as impossible to perform due to a failure of material terms.In January 2011, while serving as the administrator of her husband's estate, Lucille Crossman filed a wrongful death complaint against the Defendants, who own, operate, and manage the assisted living facility in Hendersonville in which Ms. Crossman's husband resided before his death.When Mr. Crossman entered the facility in 2004, he signed an agreement in which he stipulated that the parties agreed to submit all claims arising out of his care and treatment at the facility to binding arbitration.The agreement also specified that such disputes would go before an arbitration hearing before a board of three arbitrators selected from the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and that the arbitrators would apply the rules of the AAA.Ms. Crossman did not sign the agreement.
When Ms. Crossman filed the wrongful death complaint, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss and compel arbitration based on the terms of the arbitration agreement.The trial court denied the motion, holding that the agreement was unenforceable because it was impossible to perform due to a failure in its material terms and because arbitration agreements signed by decedents do not bind wrongful death beneficiaries.
On appeal, the Court agreed that the arbitration agreement was unenforceable. The Court explained that effective January 1, 2003, the AAA had issued a Healthcare Policy Statement informing all potential parties to an arbitration agreement in the field of healthcare that the AAA would no longer accept the arbitration of cases involving individual patients without a post-dispute agreement to arbitrate.Because the agreement had been signed before a dispute arose, and because the agreement stipulated that arbitration must occur under AAA rules and be presided over by persons approved by the AAA, the Court held that the agreement was unenforceable because it was impossible to perform due to a failure in material terms.
The Court distinguished the case from its earlier holding in Westmoreland v. High Point Healthcare Inc., ___ N.C. App. ___, 721 S.E.2d 712 (2012), in which the Court held that a pre-dispute arbitration agreement signed on admittance to a nursing facility was enforceable.In that case, the agreement stipulated that any arbitration must follow the rules of the AAA and be conducted before one neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the rules of the AAA.The Court held that the agreement was not impossible to perform despite the existence of the AAA Policy Statement, because it did not preclude arbitration of the claims by a non-AAA arbitrator.Here, in contrast, the agreement stated that the arbitration would be conducted by arbitrators selected from the AAA.It specifically required the use of AAA arbitrators and was, therefore, unenforceable as impossible to perform.
Interestingly, the Court declined to reach the second question posed by the appeal: whether Ms. Crossman, as a beneficiary of Mr. Crossman's estate, would be bound by her husband's assent to the arbitration agreement. That question remains for another day. . .

I have a bit of a hairy problem. I'm shy about raising my arms or wearing sleeveless clothes because I do not have smooth looking, hairless armpits like Elva Hsiao here. So I like to ask you ladies: how do you keep your underarm hairless? (Well, I'm assuming most of you at least try.)
In the earlier years, I use some chemical hair remover to remove the hair. I remember it has a nasty smell but it worked pretty well except that it irritated my skin occasionally. Then I moved on to tweezing my hair away and that kept the hair at bay for the longest period. But of course pulling each strand takes up too much time so I resorted to the easiest method. Shaving! So all this while, I've been shaving my underarms.
I did consider permanent hair removal using laser but it seems I can't achieve a hairless armpit in just one session but several instead. So I'm not sure if it's worth the cost and if it's a good idea to kill the hair follicles there.
So what have you been doing to keep your underarms hair free?

Rapper Busta Rhymes was arrested on assault charges after he allegedly threw a protein drink at the back of another man's head at a New York City gym, according to police.
The 43-year-old Brooklyn-born rapper, whose real name is Trevor Smith, was at Steel Gym on West 23rd Street in Chelsea around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday when police say he tossed the drink at the victim.
The man's head was cut by the cardboard projectile, the NYPD said. He refused medical attention.
A bodybuilder at the gym told the Daily News that the rapper allegedly tossed the protein drink during an argument with a front desk employee.
The bodybuilder said that the employee refused to let Rhymes bring a cameraman in the gym with him on Tuesday, and the two argued the next day when the rapper returned to buy the protein drink. The bodybuilder said Rhymes and the employee splashed one another with water before the bottle was thrown.
NBC 4 New York was not immediately able to reach a representative for the rapper, but he posted a photo to Instagram after the arrest saying he was ready to get back to his recording studio.
"Thanks to everyone who helped expedite this evening for me. I'm good and we're back to the grind," the post said.
Rhymes was released after the arrest and is due back in court on Nov. 6. His attorney, Scott Leemon, told the News he was confident the rapper wouldn't be convicted.
"This is clearly an attempt by someone to take advantage of Busta. He did nothing wrong," he said. "This is a bunch of bull."

President Barack Obama will meet with his predecessor Tuesday in Tanzania -- some 8,000 miles from the White House.
Obama will appear with former president George W. Bush during a wreath-laying ceremony for victims of the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Obama and his family are wrapping up a three-country trip around the African continent. Bush is traveling in Tanzania as part of a conference on women's issues in Africa.
The two men are not expected to make remarks at the event, White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters.
On August 7, 1998, twin blasts at U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam left 224 dead, 11 at the Tanzania site.

Connecticut trooper's alleged theft caught on cruiser camera
BRIDGEPORT -- Connecticut authorities say a police cruiser camera recorded a state trooper stealing $3,700 from a man who was dying after motorcycle crash on the Merritt Parkway in Fairfield.
An arrest warrant affidavit obtained Tuesday by the Connecticut Post (http://bit.ly/Sxk3Sh ) says the camera caught the actions of Trooper Aaron Huntsman after the Sept. 22 accident that killed 49-year-old John Scalesse of Orange. Huntsman was charged with larceny, interfering with police and tampering with evidence.
The affidavit says Huntsman denied stealing the money.
Police allege Huntsman took the wad of cash after paramedics found it in Scalesse's pocket. Troopers say Huntsman told other officials he was taking it as evidence.
Huntsman couldn't be reached. A phone listing for him wasn't in service. No one answered a call to his lawyer's office Wednesday.

The New York Yankees announced Friday that they re-signed shortstop Derek Jeter to a one-year, $12 million contract.
Jeter is coming off a season in which he batted just .190 in only 63 at-bats with eight runs, one double, one home run and seven RBIs over 17 games. He spent four stints on the disabled list and missed 145 games, mainly recovering from a broken ankle sustained in the 2012 playoffs.
Over his 19-year career, Jeter, 39, has batted .312 with 3,316 hits, 1,876 runs, 525 doubles, 65 triples, 256 home runs, 1,261 RBIs and 348 stolen bases over 2,602 games.
He is ninth on Major League Baseball's all-time hits list and leads all active players. He helped the Yankees win World Series titles in 1996, 1998-2000 and 2009, is a 13-time All-Star and a five-time Gold Glove Award winner.
Jeter won his fifth Silver Slugger Award in 2012 after collecting 216 hits, the eighth time he had at least 200 hits in a season.
The Yankees' captain is the franchise's all-time leader in hits, games, stolen bases, at-bats, singles and hit by pitches.
Jeter is one of just two players in major league history with at least 3,000 hits, 250 home runs, 300 stolen bases and 1,200 RBI, joining Willie Mays.

MIDTOWN BLOGGERINOS! Raph here, with a sense of nostalgia. I happened to think about a list a few days ago, a list I didn't like. In issue 70 of Wizard Magazine, way back in 1997, they had a list of the 10 toughest superheroes. At the time, I could understand some of their choices, but I was baffled by others. Normally, I try to be above the typical fanboy debates, because they can last forever without a clear cut winner. There's plenty of reasons why Spider-Man loses to Iron Man, or Thor beats Wolverine… but I did happen to buy this issue of Wizard from our back issue bin, and thought, let's have some fun! I'm going to follow the same basic rules Wizard did:
- We're limiting these to active superheroes: the dead and the villainous need not apply (Sorry Professor X, Sentry, Molecule Man and Ares…) Anyone deceased as of Jan. 30th,2013 is disqualified.
- We're also limiting this to a certain degree of power: let's leave Galactus and co. out of this one.
- This is a knock-down, drag-out fight to the death. No one is holding back.
For the sake of sanity I'm limiting this list to Marvel, doing Marvel vs. DC just makes my head explode.

Highly aggressive
Ancient, exotic, beautifully designed, the Aseel is a breed of chicken developed in India and Pakistan for the sole purpose cock fighting. Aseel chickens have compact, extremely muscular bodies held in a distinctive upright position, and are much heavier than they appear. They also have short, strong, well-curved beaks, a broad skulls, fierce, pale eyes, and indomitable spirit. Aseel chickens are so pugnacious that hens will often fight each other for hours; even the day old chicks have been noted to spar each other and chicks of other breeds – sometimes to the point of wounding other chicks. Though aggressive to other chickens, Aseels are quite personable to their handlers. It is the pugnacious nature of the breed and its great stamina that have garnered it world-wide respect.
The name Aseel (also spelled Asil and Azeel) translates as "pure" or "thoroughbred" in Arabic and "high-born, high caste, pure, and original" in Hindi. In India the name was originally applied to any chicken that was found to be genuinely game. It is a sign of the great respect held for this breed that it should be given the name "Aseel".
In India, this breed has been known for thousands of years. The great poultry author, Lewis Wright, stated, "…the birds whose battles are alluded to in the Institutes of Menu [a legal document], 1000 BC, if not Aseel as now known, were at least their ancestors." The first Aseels imported into the United States came from Lucknow, India, and were imported by Dr. H.P. Clarke of Indianapolis, IN. Dr. Clarke first exhibited the breed at the 1887 Indiana State Fair. Dr. D.S. Newill of PA also imported Aseel chickens from India in 1931. The breed was known in England by 1846, and may have arrived earlier.
Aseels are vigorous and tenacious survivors, and are suitable for use on range. The hens are poor and seasonal layers of brown-shelled eggs, but make excellent broodies and mothers, being quite formidable in the protection of their young. There are reports of Aseel hens fighting off snakes in the protection of their eggs or chicks. Both males and females have short and hard feathers, which are held tightly to their bodies. They have a meaty carcass and are slow growing. The males have a very distinctive, short, chopped-off crow. The breed is reported to be quite intelligent for chickens and can further be recognized for some distinct physical characteristics, such as yellow colored legs, a hawk-like beak shape, and a round skull with eye neatly in the center. The Aseel is also noted for having a large heart for body size, as well as short intestines – when compared to other chicken breeds.
Though slow growing, Aseels have been used very successfully to crossbreed to produce very meaty carcasses on the offspring. In fact, Aseels were used to create the Cornish chicken, and so may be said to be the original source of the genes that give today's commercial broilers their meaty proportions.
The Aseel is recognized by the American Poultry Association (APA) and was admitted as a standard breed in 1981 in the following colors: Black Breasted Red (Wheaten); Dark; Spangled; and White.

The New View Campaign
The New View Campaign was formed in 2000 as a grassroots network to challenge the distorted and oversimplified messages about sexuality that the pharmaceutical industry relies on to sell its new drugs.
The pharmaceutical industry wants people to think that sexual problems are simple medical matters, and it offers drugs as expensive magic fixes. But sexual problems are complicated, sexuality is diverse, and no drug is without side effects.
The goal of the New View Campaign is to expose biased research and promotional methods that serve corporate profit rather than people's pleasure and satisfaction. The Campaign challenges all views that reduce sexual experience to genital biology and thereby ignore the many dimensions of real life.
The New View Campaign is devoted to education, activism, and empowerment. We invite you to benefit from the information on this website, and we invite your support and participation.

To look worse than you at a Hollywood event.
Again, how does this keep happening???
Katherine Heigl was fresh and gorgeous and not tacky assed and weird-haired the first two seasons of Grey's Anatomy. I can't believe it's the same person. Who showed up last night at the ELLE Women in Hollywood Tribute last night with that crazy thing on her head in a dress that looks like what people wear when they're trying to be Kim Kardashian. It's appalling. And, as I have always, always said... it's SO unnecessary.
Like Hilary Swank, Heigl's next release is New Year's Eve. Then of course it's One For The Money, Stephanie Plum. Will it pull her out of her slump? HitFix doesn't seem to think so. Last week they posted an article citing 5 reasons why it won't save Heigl's career. My favourite is point #2:
A lot of people still don't like her.
They attributed it to the fact that she dared to "share her opinion" and wondered whether or not it was fair that a woman who shares her opinion should be punished for it forever when men do it all the time. See now I don't think it was a matter of "sharing her opinion". I see it as a matter of her sh-tting on the people she worked with. Judd Apatow, the Grey's Anatomy writers, the people who played a significant part in her success.
Susan Sarandon shared her opinion about the Pope. THAT is an opinion. Katherine Heigl? That's just ungrateful. Click here to read the HitFix article.
PS. Every other celebrity at this event posed with their other celebrity friends, like Aniston with Witherspoon, Streisand, whatever. Heigl was there with her husband Josh Kelly. And she had her photo taken with the editor and publisher of ELLE which is more like an official duty. And ...I can't find any pictures of her with anyone else. Does she have friends?
You can always count on Katherine Heigl...

O's more focused on adding a bat over Santana
Sources downplay reported negotiations between Baltimore, right-hander
SARASOTA, Fla. -- The Orioles' focus is still on adding a bat -- not another starting pitcher -- before Opening Day, multiple sources told MLB.com on Friday as rumors swirled that Baltimore was still in on right-hander Ervin Santana.
CBSSports.com and FOXSports.com both reported that the Orioles have had active dialogue recently with Santana, who is the best and one of the only remaining free-agent starters still on the market. And that could certainly be true, with executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette wanting to accumulate pitching depth and perhaps hoping to get a deal on Santana that would make it easier to trade for a designated hitter. But there's nothing as of Friday afternoon to suggest there's anything imminent with the Orioles and Santana, or even if the talks are serious.
The Santana situation is interesting and certainly something to monitor, but two organizational sources downplayed any serious negotiations between the two parties.
The Orioles signed Ubaldo Jimenez to a four-year, $50 million contract and officially unveiled him in a news conference on Thursday in which Duquette later said that the club was still exploring some external DH options. Jimenez gives the O's some pitching depth and -- assuming everyone stays healthy -- there could be enough of a pool to draw from to trade for a bat. Free agents Kendrys Morales and Nelson Cruz are also still in play.

Three balls can push 2 balls or 1 ball. (Bigger amount can push lower amount).
When you click the ball the color will change.
How many color will change will depend on your mouse direction. For example, I click on one ball at the back (see below) then I hold my mouse button and directs my mouse pointer over the other 3 balls. The other 3 balls will be selected and the color will change.
When I release the mouse button, the 3 balls moved to new position.
Don't forget, 3 balls can push 2 balls.
Your opponents push your 6 balls out, you lose.

I am interested in detecting when a user is actually sitting down in a chair in front of a computer. The presence of the user affects many scheduling and user notification decisions that need to be made and as such, the data obtained about the user would need to be readable by a scripting engine.
What I am looking for:
- Better to accidentally presume the user is in his chair when he is not. If the method of detection is not accurate, it must err on the side of the user being in the chair when he/she is not.
- Identifying whether the person sitting in the chair in front of the computer is indeed the user that is logged in. This needs to happen without the user explicitly authenticating/identifying. As such, it will not be used for security or privacy related features as it may fail at times.
- A method of broadcasting what chairs are being occupied (and by whom) to other members of an intranet. A way of managing inventory, tying chairs to computers would be ideal.
- Mac, Linux and Windows support for the solution :)
Some possible methods that COULD exist out there in the world (but in practice, are not easy to configure and set up):
- Monitor inputs with short timeout period. When timeout is reached, broadcast empty chair message.
- Add a sitting weight test to the chair which transmits the result to the workstation. If the weight is within a 5lb range of the user's known weight, it presumes the correct user is sitting in front of the machine.
- Add motion camera support. Photograph an empty workstation scenario and compare the current image capture to that of the empty, testing the delta with a known threshold.
Update: This is not for employer/employee tracking. It is to allow a user to take part of their workstation user interface with them on their smartphones or portable devices when they leave their desks. Determining where the user is at a given time allows the updates to be sent to the proper device. Consider it an optimization of the signal to noise ratio of notifications. The goal is to avoid sending the notifications to unmanned desktops/the wrong user.

Before and again after work I took some pictures with my trusty D40x towards the Minato Mirai complex in Yokohama.
During the day you can clearly see the Landmark Tower on the right, NTT DoCoMo tower on the left and most importantly, the Gento Blitz building with the Taito Game Park in the centre.
At night I took the same picture from the same standing position.
I couldn't resist and kept on walking to the Taito Game Park. Here it is.
The inviting machines look innocent enough but they have been the fall of many poor boys and yes, I know I'm one of them.
Looking right to the end you can see the machine I won the latest edition to my Gundam robot clan, Kyrios.
I won this one for 400 yen with some generous help from the Taito staff.
I took the grab loop off and ripped a bit of the box label by mistake.
I know that with it still in the box it would be probably worth more, but since I did this, l just decided to open up the box and put the little fella together.
These ones are really cool. They don't bend, but they are made of PVC rubber. It makes me want to get his other two buddies now. *sigh*
All pics on this post are taken at the smallest size, but still they come out pretty clear.
I'm happy with this lens. The auto-focus is great. This last picture was taken in the apartment back home. Lots of detail. Good.
I bought some Ghana, "imitation" Nutella, and strawberry daifuko at Don Quijote. It looks like the gf had a similar idea.
The sweet tooth is getting sweeter.

From diving with manta rays to epic 4wd tracks, North Stradbroke Island is an adventures paradise located less than an hour's ferry ride from Brisbane.
Comprised of three small townships, North Stradbroke Island, or Straddie as it is affectionately known to the locals, is the second largest sand island in the world filled with cultural significance and stunning natural landscapes.
Take the Gorge Walk along the headland of Point Lookout for stunning scenery with 1.2km of ocean and bushland views. Between June and November, this is the perfect spot for whale watching or keep your eyes peeled for the resident dolphins or sea turtles throughout the year. Kangaroos also stop by the Gorge Walk for breakfast and dinner, so you are likely to spot one of these little fellas in your travels.
Cruise around the island and swap the bitumen for a 4WD adventure. There are many parts of North Stradbroke Island to explore but make sure you stop at the freshwater brown lake for a dip which is tinged brown by the native tea trees in the area.
Hit the surf at Cylinder Beach or meet the underwater wildlife with a snorkel or scuba dive. Head out to Shag Rock or Flat Rock and swim with the local manta rays in the summer months and grey nurse sharks in the cooler months.
