Kitten Rescue, the final episode, Bittersweet ending...
For those interested in the fate of the 2 kittens born under my neighbors BBQ...
The one (solid grey) that fell down the balcony and that i braught back up to his mama has been adopted by another neighbor. I believe he will be well taken care of, as they seem to be goodhearted people!
The other one, tabby grey with white boots, was left alone under the BBQ from Saturday May 17th, to Monday May 19th.
I sadly have to say that the mama cat hasn't showed up since the 17th, and is believed to be dead...
Since the remaining kitten (Tabby with white boots) was reported to be crying and meowing (by my upstairs neighbor) on early Monday morning. And considering that my bf and myself witnessed him trying to suckle on another feral male cat, such a heartbreaking sight... We could not help it but to immediately act...
I am happy to say that as of May 19th 2008, I became helper to my 4th bundle of love, that we named Elphin...
Here are the latest of Elphin's stats!
Elphin Kitten Estimated DOB April 18/21 2008. Male. Grey tabby with white boots.
Kitten general data
Elphin was orphaned as of Saturday May 17th.
His only other sibling was taken/adopted on Saturday May 17th.
Elphin's mom has not been seen since Saturday May 17th.
Elphin's mom had 3 kittens in summer 2006.
She had 3 kittens in summer 2007.
She only had 2 kittens in summer 2008, Elphin was one of them.
(Elphin's sibling fell off 3rd floor balcony on mother's day weekend and spent 36 hours under the stairs alone with no food or water.
He was rescued by myself, my son, a kid called Donovan, and a few other kids from the alley.
He was braught back upstairs to his mom on Sunday/mothers day.
He followed his mom closely to suckle for the next 24hrs.)
Both kittens were observed by myself for the following week and were doing well.
My son and myself fed the mother cat as much as possible in order for her to have milk for the kittens.
Elphin was observed several times with his mom eating the dry food we braught to them.
Elphin was observed several times being carried by the neck by his mom who would bring him back under the BBQ.
Last time Elphin was spotted in the company of his sibling was Saturday May 17th around 10 am, he was laying in the morning sun, cuddling on his sibling.
Elphin was reported to be crying/calling mom loudly on early Monday morning May 19th by upstairs mailman neighbor.
Elphin was spotted alone under BBQ all day Sunday May 18th, and Monday May 19th.
Elphin was observed by my boyfriend Tomy and myself on Monday May 19th around 3pm; following and trying to suckle a male feral cat on his 3rd floor balcony.
This is when we decided to rescue him and take him in.
We spoke to the man where the BBQ was on the 3rd floor and asked if we could have him.
The man agreed on the spot.
I lifted the BBQ tarp that was smelly of male cat urine and saw Elphin squeeze between two propane bottles.
The conditions under the BBQ were filthy, wet, damp and smelly.
Several pools of water, a lot of rust, overall disgusting habitat.
I grabbed Elphin from behind the propane tanks.
Elphin meowed loudly/helplessly when i got hold of him.
Elphin hung on with his right front paw to the back BBQ leg, i had to 'unhook' him from it.
I made Elphin wave goodbye to the man on the 3rd floor, and we rushed downstairs.
Elphin was protesting by meowing loudly, clawing, and twisting himself in my shirt.
Elphin smelled strongly of urine and male cat spray.
My shirt and myself were impregnated of the smell too.
Elphin's hind feet were stained of the BBQ rust.
Elphin was wet, hungry and scared when we braught him in.
I rushed upstairs, asking my boyfriend to warm up some milk.
We baught Elphin canned Friskies chicken dinner food (from the dep)immediately...(all we could afford at the time).
Elphin ate 156gramms of food; the whole can, in about 6 hours!
Elphin ate and slept for the first 4 hours or so.
Elphin purred loudly the moment we took him in.
Elphin purred every minute he was awake for the first 3 days.
Elphin seemed to purr in happiness and recognition to us.
Elphin seeked our body heat and presence; he slept on us, in our shirts, around our necks, by our armpits; anywhere it was warm and welcoming.
All this time Elphin smelled strongly of urine/stench, we welcomed him regardless of this inconvenience.
Elphin's eyes are still blue.
We estimate his age at take in to be between 4 to 5 weeks old.
((Our scale is kitchen type scale and is about 50 years old.
I established the scale is +- 56 gramms off, (hence 1/8 pound).))
Weight in gramms Weight in pounds
May 19 th 526 g Monday 1.16 pounds ((1 1/28 pounds))
May 20th 681 g (at 2 am) Tuesday. 1 1/2 pounds
May 24th 737 g Saturday. 1.62 pounds
May 25th 793 g Sunday. 1.3/4 pounds
May 31st 936 g Saturday 2. 1/16 pounds
June 2nd 1.02kg Monday 2. 1/4 pounds
Elphin, follow-up observations
*As of May 25th, Elphin is being fed 'Natural Choice dry kitten food'.
Food is soaked in water to soften and then crushed by fork.
*Elphin (5 weeks old kitten) male, eats at will.
*Tonali (11 months old kitten) also eats this same food at will, Tonali is underweight/small framed cat, female
*Before, Elphin was fed canned Friskies chicken dinner.
With Friskies, Elphin had gas/farts and his stools stank alot, we are hoping better quality food will remedy this situation.
*Friskies canned food specs: 11%protein
*Natural Choice kitten food specs: 35%protein
4%linoleic acid
*We hope that better food will achieve the following:
*More nutrients will 'stay in the kitten'.
*Less will come out as 'stinky stools' and 'farts'.
*More vitamins/minerals/good stuff to grow healthy.
*Silky, soft coat/fur.
*Healthy teeth/gums/system in general.
*Proper growth/weight in 1st year of life, good start.
*More energy to play/be active.
*Strong bones and immune system.
*Happier kitten/cat in general.
Sunday May 25th,
Elphin was introduced to our 11 months old kitten Tonali. (Equally rescued from the alley).
Fate had in store that Tonali is 'in heat', and much more receptive.
Tonali and Elphin were introduced around 5pm.
Both kittens were curious and a bit scared/uncertain about eachother.
Tonali was nice to Elphin; didn't claw/spit or bite.
Around 6 pm Tonali and Elphin were playing together in the cardboarb box 'houses' we made them.
Elphin is now officially introduced to Tonali and they seem to be friends!
My son and myself baught Elphin a spring stand toy today.
Both Elphin and Tonali need to get their nails cut.
Friday May 30th
Cookie left for the summer at my mothers, leaving us with only Elphin and Tonali
Saturday May 31st
Elphin got his nails clipped at same place as Tonali. Tonali will go Tuesday, since we were short on time.
Monday June 2nd
Elphin now weigh 1.02 kg and doing fine!
We suspect Elphin to have ear mites, since he has dark matter in his ears... we will further investigate the matter in the comming week and keep you all updated!

Les and Leah had one date a year for five years. In between those dates they didn't talk, didn't write, didn't think about each other.
"The truth is, I was totally indifferent," says Les Axelrod.
Once every year from 1945 to 1949 Leah Mandelker traveled from her home in Milwaukee to visit cousins Ann Ruth and Jack in St. Louis.
And for each of those years, Jack would fix Leah up with one of his Zeta Beta Tau fraternity brothers from Washington University.
For five straight years, Les got tapped as one of Leah's dates. He did it as a favor to his fraternity brother. "It was an obligation," he says.
And, let it be said, Leah was equally indifferent to Les. "I'd have a different date every night for a week and Les was one of these guys," she says. No big deal.
Was there ever any little hint of romance on any of those annual dates? At almost the same moment, both of them — emphatically — say "No!"
Maybe it was a change of geography that made the difference — wiping out all that indifference. By Thanksgiving 1950, Les had joined the Navy and was stationed at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center in North Chicago, not too far from Milwaukee.
Now it was Leah's turn to host Les, who came to her family's home for turkey and all the trimmings.
After that, "I thought the least I could do was invite Leah back to Great Lakes for boot camp graduation, which was in December," he says. "We graduated just before Christmas leave. I had the week between Christmas and New Year's off.
"The least she could do was invite me back to Milwaukee for that week."
Was there — finally — romance in the air? After all, they'd been dating, if sporadically, for six years.
"Not yet, but you're close," Les says.
On Dec. 24, 1950, in front of the fireplace in Leah's parents' living room, "Leah kissed me, and sparks flew."
"I had kissed him previously on dates, but it didn't mean anything," she explains. And why, suddenly, was this kiss different from all the rest?
In a terse summary of the mystery of love, Leah says, "Isn't that strange? I don't know."
"We stayed up most of the night of Dec. 24 just talking," Les says.
"After this long evening, Leah turns to me and says, 'You realize you haven't asked me to marry you.' I said, 'I don't intend to live in sin with you.'"
Leah: "That was it." She'd asked for a proposal. He had backed into one, and they were engaged.
After that Christmas Eve kiss, things moved quickly. They picked out an engagement ring. Les drove around the block while Leah ran into the store to pick it up.
Back in the car, "Leah says, 'Put the ring on me now.' I say, 'I can't. The light is green.' I'm very anal-retentive. Finally we got a red light, and I said, 'OK. Now!' And I put it on."
Leah: "We didn't have very romantic moments."
Les: "But it worked out, I guess."
And how. On that night in 1950 when they stayed up most of the night talking, one of the first things Les and Leah agreed on was that they would have six children. And they do. Five boys — David, Craig, Harry, Garrick, Bradley — and the youngest, a daughter, Nell. They range in age from 46 to 59. Incidentally, they're not related to President Barack Obama's top political strategist David Axelrod.
When the bustling family was growing up in Highland Park, they would eat dinners at the table with mom and dad at either end and the kids arrayed three on each side.
Nowadays, Les, 83, and Leah, 82, sit down for dinner together at that same table in that same Highland Park house. But now they sit close, side by side.
Les does the shopping and the laundry. Leah cooks and runs a tour business out of their home. They celebrated their 61st anniversary in March.
A year earlier, their kids wanted to do something special for their parents' 60th wedding anniversary. "Our son Craig asked us if we wanted to go on a cruise. Take a trip," Les says.
"No, we want to be all together," Leah says. The entire extended family, including, of course, those St. Louis relatives.
Says Les: "We didn't want to go anywhere. We want to be together. That's what it's all about."

The Olympic Spirit continues in London as the city hosts the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Paralympics, coming a little more than two weeks after the Olympic Closing Ceremony.
For many of the athletes preparing to compete over the next two weeks, the experience of competing on such an international stage will be a new experience. It will be a return trip for Dave Denniston, but the former Auburn swimmer will be wearing a new hat this time around as takes over as head coach for the United States Paralympic Swimming Team.
Denniston, a three-time NCAA individual champion and 15-time All-American, was a vital member of men's swimming and diving team at Auburn. He helped in leading the Tigers to the 1999 NCAA Championship, under the tutelage of assistant coach Jimi Flowers. Denniston and Flowers, who recruited Denniston to Auburn, had a close relationship throughout Denniston's time as a swimmer for the Tigers.
"Jimi had a way of lighting up a room regardless of the situation," said Denniston. "A lot of people referred to him as a walking exclamation point."
After leaving Auburn, Denniston pursued his dream of competing in the Olympics.
"Growing up in Wyoming, I learned and realized how difficult it was to become an Olympian, but that was something that stuck with me," said Denniston. "That was something I wanted to do. I really wanted to represent the United States. I wanted to wear that cap that had the American flag on the side with my name underneath it."
Denniston's dream fell short when he did not qualify at the 2004 Olympic Trials. Not dissuaded, Denniston turned his attention to 2008, but not before some downtime. That winter he took a trip with some friends to the mountains in Laramie, Wyo. That trip, however, took a turn for the worst on Feb. 6, 2005, when a sledding accident left Denniston paralyzed from the waist down.
"Life, everything, stopped for an instant - it knocked the wind out of me," said Denniston. "Once I started getting my air back, all I could get out was 'Help!' with the little bit of air I had in my lungs. I laid in the snow staring at the base of that tree thinking I was dying… At that point, I realized I really loved being alive."
That love of being alive was never more evident in the years following the accident. Denniston kept a positive outlook through his recovery and rehab. Just like his former mentor, he tried to be that exclamation point to others.
Flowers, who was very instrumental in Denniston's transition into college swimming, now stepped into that role again, this time with a slightly different focus. Flowers encouraged Denniston into looking at the different possibilities for the future and in 2007, the two began working together to prepare Denniston for the 2008 Beijing Paralympics. There, Denniston was able to compete and get back into the sport he loved.
"I was giddy," said Denniston on returning to the pool. "It was like being in Disney Land."
Just as he dreamed about back in college, Denniston went to Beijing, China in the summer of 2008 with a "United States" swim cap on his head at the Paralympics.
He competed in four events, tallying three top-10 finishes and a fourth-place finish on a relay. He swam in the 50m backstroke (14th, 53.07), 50m butterfly (9th, 45.89) and 100m breaststroke (9th, 1:53.23). He also swam a 50.81 split as the breaststroke leg on the U.S. 200m medley relay that went on to finish fourth in a time of 2:43.00.
Feeling he had found his place, Denniston remained in Colorado Springs, continuing his training for the 2012 Paralympics in London. But, a career that had seen so many ups and downs took a hit on July 10, 2009. It was that day that Denniston found out that Flowers, his coach and close personal friend, had passed away following an accident while mountain climbing in Aspen, Colo.
The news was devastating to Denniston and many of the other swimmers on the Paralympic Team. Thinking it was impossible to swim for any coach other than Flowers, many thought it was time to end their careers.
In an attempt to salvage the team, Denniston sacrificed his career as an athlete and applied as the new head coach if the swimmers would, in turn, stay on the team.
"I realized that I had what people were calling 'big shoes' to fill," said Denniston. "I realized that I was replacing Jimi Flowers. This time, I saw as the result of a horrible tragedy, a huge opportunity to make a difference in other people's lives besides my own. I let go of myself a little bit and decided to become a coach for the U.S. Paralympic Team."
Denniston accepted the position in 2010 and with a reunited team, set their focus on the 2012 London Paralymics. The hours of training, hard work and time in the pool will materialize Wednesday evening as the 2012 Paralympics officially begin with the opening ceremony.
The United States won 44 total medals in swimming at the 2008, including 17 gold medals – a mark that led all countries. Leading a group of favorites in their respective events, Denniston will take the next step in filling those "big shoes" left by Flowers.

More than a thousand visiting basketball players, along with some home-grown talent, will put their skills to the test in the fourth annual Tuscaloosa Warriors Invitational.
TUSCALOOSA | More than a thousand visiting basketball players, along with some home-grown talent, will put their skills to the test in the fourth annual Tuscaloosa Warriors Invitational.
The AAU-sanctioned tournament begins today and ends Sunday. James Currington, president of the Tuscaloosa Warriors Basketball Club, said games will be at Southview, Eastwood, Paul W. Bryant, Westlawn, Central, Collins-
Riverside, Tuscaloosa County, American Christian Academy and Holt and at the McAbee Center, the Phelps Center and the Fawcett Center.
Currington was an assistant coach for the Paul W. Bryant boys varsity basketball team, which advanced to the AHSAA Class 5A semifinals for the first time in school history.
"Last year, Tuscaloosa hosted over 90 teams from Georgia, Mississippi and all parts of Alabama with attendance from several nationally ranked players and teams," said Currington. "This year should prove to be unlike any other, showcasing highly talented athletes and teams from Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi and Texas."
Currington said Paul W. Bryant's Dexter Hood is expected to play along with D.J. Johnson and Matthew Reed from Hillcrest and Charity Brown, a member of the Hillcrest girls team.
"What they get is a quality, well-run tournament," Currington said. "It prepares them for their school teams, whether it's middle school or high school, and helps them get a step ahead."
Currington said he appreciated the support the event has received from the Tuscaloosa Tourism and Sports Commission, from school officials in making their gyms available and from Tuscaloosa County Commissioner Reginald Murray.
"This is a great economic driver for our community," said Don Staley, who is with the Tuscaloosa Tourism and Sports Commission. "My hat's off to James Currington and Walter Filer for the work they've put in to organize this event. It's definitely a labor of love on their part."
Tuscaloosa Warriors Invitational

Several of us expected the Nexus One would receive an update to Android 2.3 by now, but Google is still working on the latest release and just tweeted that it should be available "in the coming weeks". If you are really impatient several cooked Gingerbread ROMS are available, but most are half-baked and still missing some features.
Some have speculated that Samsung had some kind of exclusive window on the release of Android 2.3 with the Nexus S, but it sounds like Google just needs the extra time to properly test it on the Nexus One to make sure it is a quality release. I've been using the Nexus S for almost a week now and I have experienced several force close errors with some of the native apps, so there are definitely some bugs left that the Android team needs to squash.
If you have a Nexus One, all you can do right now is hang tight and wait for the official release. When you consider most Galaxy S owners have been waiting over 6 months for an Android 2.2 update, a couple more weeks doesn't sound that bad.

An easily accessible area, with rock very similar to Topside.
*Note: This area is closed subject to the approval of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP). To all climbers concerned about the Redhill Bouldering Ban, kindly note that the MCSA is addressing this issue. It is critical that we talk to Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) as a fully representative body, therefore this is not limited to MCSA members and everyone is welcome to be involved in this process. As you can imagine, TMNP cannot make agreements with individuals or with bodies that only represent a small number of people. In the end you will be bound by the agreement that we reach, so if you feel strongly and would like to get involved, please contact me directly. We urge that you do not rock the boat at this time while we are working with TMNP on this issue as it will only put undue strain on the relationship between TMNP and climbers during these collaborations. We understand your frustrations but ask that you please respect the process and trust that we have TMNP and your best interest at heart. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Paula of Henry Road's Colorful Home
We love the fabrics and designs by Paula Smail, designer and owner of the lovely Henry Road. Her online site and shop in Studio City offers serious color inspiration. She shared a few photos of her home and how color, texture and design inspire her in home and life.
I thrive on color, pattern and texture; and believe absolutely that my home is, and should be, a travelogue and album of my life with old and new happily blended together. The end result is an eclectic mix of things I love!
When it comes to color, nothing gives me greater pleasure than light bouncing off a color-filled space. I like challenging myself to use colors I haven't used before, so this go-round of my apartment, I chose darker colors for the walls -- a teal for the living room and a maroon for the bedroom. The maroon was particularly scary to paint because it is a violent purple in the can!
The living room / dining room / kitchen is my favorite room in this apartment. It is full of light, great for entertaining and fantastic for work -- the large counter served as a perfect cutting table, easily holding big bolts of fabric. The large flower collage on the dining room wall is by my friend, Michelle Caplan (http://www.michellecaplan.com/ ) and the chandeliers are from Habitat in London. The fabric on the curtains and chairs is Henry Road.
A couple of decoupage projects livened up some dull pieces. The fridge, for example, was a large white monster so I covered it in a map of London. I put my beloved African headdress on the wall next to it; added a couple of Eiffel Towers from my time in Paris, some South African dolls and a Warhol poster I bought in Florence. In the bedroom, the dresser drawers are covered in pink tissue paper and dressed up with ceramic rose pulls. I used a carved room divider that I found at Cost Plus World Market as the headboard and mounted it as high as possible to get some height. The pillows are made with fabric from my collection of textiles that I have gathered over the years. This fabric was bought in a wonderful small shop in Mombasa and is traditionally used as clothing for woman. The white sputnik on the side table is by Tom Dixon and is supposed to be hung as a chandelier but I have always used it on tables as I love its sculptural quality. The pale pink painting is by my very talented mother, Jo Smail (http://www.josmailartist.com/)
I had a huge pinboard up in my studio with things that inspire me and make me smile. The closeup features a tassle from Morocco which we sell in the Henry Road store, a picture of macaroons from La Duree in Paris (THE absolute all time best macaroons in the world! I highly recommend the rose and pistachio flavors!), a catwalk show in South Africa illustrating modern use of African fabrics, and an orange peel necklace.
I love things but tend to be pretty good at editing except when it comes to artwork and books. It is an ongoing challenge to pare them down. The large pillow in front of the bookshelf is vintage Ferragamo which some wonderful friends lugged half way round the world for me because they thought I would like it! The doll is from Vietnam, the buffalo from Santa Fe and the white rocks from the seabed of an absolutely beautiful beach in Greece. I nearly drowned myself swimming back to the boat carrying four of them -- only two made it home to LA! (Wish I had worried less about luggage weight at the time and just packed them all!)
Thanks, Paula!

STOCKTON - Imelda Bobadilla is too young to remember $1 gas. Or even $2 gas. Thursday, she learned that San Joaquin County's average price for a gallon of regular gasoline topped $4 for the first time this year.
STOCKTON - Imelda Bobadilla is too young to remember $1 gas. Or even $2 gas. Thursday, she learned that San Joaquin County's average price for a gallon of regular gasoline topped $4 for the first time this year.
Even at age 19, the novice driver still feels the sting of rising gasoline prices and has become a savvy shopper.
"I look for cheap prices," said Bobadilla of Stockton. She buys only from traditionally low-priced sellers such as Arco, Costco and the independent Fast & Easy Mart at 244 W. Harding Way, where she was filling up her gas-guzzling Jeep Cherokee. A full tank costs her between $50 and $60.
"It's pretty expensive right now, especially for me because I'm going back and forth to school," the Delta College student said.
Fast & Easy, selling gas Thursday morning for $3.87, had the least expensive price for regular in the city. However, Harman Singh, 22, who helps run the station with his father, expected that price to be increased 8 cents to $3.95 sometime Thursday evening.
Several Lodi stations were reported Thursday on StocktonGasPrices.com to have the lowest prices in the county, $3.85 a gallon for regular, but those prices could be higher today.
In the past month, the county's average price for regular gas has risen 55 cents a gallon - from $3.48 to $4.03 Thursday, according to the AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report. About a month before that, the average was at its lowest price of 2012 at $3.30 on Dec. 20.
Cynthia Harris with AAA of Northern California said that the state's oil refineries are engaged earlier this year in their annual conversion to summer-blend gasoline and there's been an overall rise in crude oil prices, two typical reasons for prices at the pump to increase.
"Twenty-five percent of U.S. refineries are now in transition. They have shut down for maintenance. Any shutdown of any refinery causes the speculation of a diminishing supply - it's not the truth, not reality, but it's a perceived reality - so that is definitely what is going on," Harris said.
"It's very hard to determine when gas prices will stabilize. The refineries have to be done with their conversion by May 1 by law, and that's when prices start stabilizing. That is kind of the trend," she said.
On the national front, oil prices actually plunged for a second day Thursday, raising hopes that a relentless rise in gasoline prices may slow or reverse at least temporarily. U.S. benchmark crude oil fell $2.38, or 2.5 percent, to finish at $92.84 per barrel in New York, the second drop of 2 percent in two days.
Crude oil's recent slide is a result of ample supplies and recent speculation that the Federal Reserve may soon allow interest rates to rise, which would reduce the supply of easy cash investors have been using to buy commodities such as oil.
The drop in crude hasn't translated into lower pump prices - yet. The average U.S. retail gasoline price rose a penny to $3.78 per gallon Thursday, according to AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. The national average has risen for 34 days straight since averaging $3.29 on Jan. 18.
The two-day plunge in crude and slightly lower wholesale gasoline futures prices are expected to at least slow the rise in pump prices, and perhaps push them back slightly.
Stockton motorist Charles Flores, 65, doesn't buy it.
"We're getting robbed. It doesn't matter if it's summer time or not. That's bull——!" Flores said while filling up his truck Thursday at Fast & Easy Mart. "The way it is now, the government is only going to let rich people drive, and I don't see anybody complaining about it."
Flores, who travels throughout the region, makes a point of coming back to Fast & Easy because he knows "this is the cheapest gas around."
Adam Gomes, 27, who drives a 1964 Oldsmobile Jetstar 88, was a little more complacent talking about prices while filling up his classic.
"It's just a cost. When it goes up, it's what's not staying in your pocket. It can make a big difference," Gomes said.
Stockton driver Anthony Acosta, 27, also a loyal Fast & Easy Mart customer, said his breaking point would be just one more dollar increase.
"I think the prices are ridiculous. Some people can't be affording these prices. After $5, I'd stop. I'd ride a bike to everywhere, even to work."

More Thoughts on Kansas v. Ventris
Last week, I wrote about Kansas United States
United States
Let us begin with a flub the Court makes on p.3, which none of the nine Justices seems to have caught, and which I have not heard anyone comment upon: "The Fifth Amendment guarantees that no person shall be compelled to give evidence against himself . . . ." Wrong. The Fifth Amendment provides that "[n]o person shall . . . be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself." The difference is more than semantic. A number of state constitutions at the time of the framing and ratifying of the Bill of Rights prohibited compelling a person to "give evidence" or "furnish evidence" against himself. That the Fifth Amendment provides instead that no one can be compelled to "be a witness" against himself seems to have been the result of a conscious decision to limit its scope. This provides one justification for the Court's limitation of the scope of the Self-Incrimination Clause to "testimonial" evidence, that which communicates or makes an assertion of fact or value.
This distinction makes a difference when we are talking about impeachment. Donald Dripps has pointed out that when the prosecution wishes to use a defendant's compelled words against him, but only for impeachment purposes, they are not being used for a testimonial purpose. That is to say, the jurors are not asked to believe that the compelled statement is true; they are merely being told that it is something the defendant said, and, because it is inconsistent with his in-court testimony, it makes it less likely that the latter is true. Of course, the statement can also be used for its truth, but that is no different from the slurred statement of a DWI suspect: "I'm really drunk." If used for the truth of its contents, it is testimonial, while if used only to show his speech was slurred, it is non-testimonial. The jury can be instructed to use the evidence for one purpose but not another (whether the jury can truly follow such an instruction is another question).
Thus, New Jersey New York Martinez United States
New Jersey
New York
United States
But by this reasoning, Ventris is still wrong if, as I have argued, the Sixth Amendment is not violated until trial. The Assistance of Counsel Clause does not merely protect a defendant from the use of compelled testimonial evidence at trial. It protects him against the use at trial of any evidence that was secured from him while he was uncounseled – e.g., impeachment evidence, the location of physical evidence, or the identities of witnesses – for surely counsel's job is first and foremost to prevent her client from assisting the State in any way, shape, or form [Mike Mannheimer]

Thanks to Google Summer of Code student Zhao Shuai, Haiku now has support for a swap file. "As of revision 27233 it is enabled by default, using a swap file twice the size of the accessible RAM. The swap file size can be changed (or swap support disabled) via the VirtualMemory preferences. Swap support finally allows building Haiku in Haiku on a box with less than about 800 MB RAM, as long as as the swap file is large enough. [Ingo Weinhold] tested this on a Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz with 256 MB RAM (artificially limited) and a 1.5 GB swap file. Building a standard Haiku image with two jam jobs (jam -j2) took about 34 minutes. This isn't particularly fast, but Haiku is not well optimized yet." The swap implementation borrows heavily from that of FreeBSD.

2015 Chevrolet Colorado Replacement Coming Next Year
- 2015 Chevrolet Colorado replacement coming next year
- New trucks to offer different styling, names
- May be diesel-powered, could be shown in 2013
General Motors will roll out all-new midsize pickup trucks next year. The trucks will replace the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, which were recently canceled. The announcement ends much speculation on the future of midsize pickups in GM's lineup.
While General Motors confirmed the trucks are coming back next year, the automaker didn't even speculate on what they'll be called. It's unlikely that the trucks will carry the same Colorado and Canyon names as those of their predecessors. That's because General Motors is targeting "different buyers" with the new models, according to Mark Reuss, GM's president for North America.
Reuss announced he'd like to see the Chevrolet version "attack the West Coast with a lifestyle version that is really beautiful and fun," according to The Detroit News. The GMC model would be more of a "semi-serious duty cycle truck," said Reuss.
As for styling, the upcoming GM trucks are expected to roughly mirror the midsize pickup GM sells in foreign markets. That model, called the Chevrolet S10 in most of Asia, offers more curves than the boxy, brawny Colorado and Canyon.
What's less certain is the engine that will power the upcoming trucks. Reuss said the GMC version will have "95 percent duty cycle of the big Sierra with a lot more fuel economy." That's a tall order for a midsize pickup -- and it may suggest the use of diesel engines. That makes sense, as the foreign-market S10 is only sold with diesel power.
We do know that the trucks will be built at GM's newly expanded Wentzville Assembly Plant in Missouri. While the plant is still under expansion, it will be ready for the trucks' launch early next year. That means eager buyers should count on seeing the pickups revealed by the end of 2013.
By reviving the Colorado and Canyon, GM is tossing its hat into the increasingly small midsize truck class. Ford recently dropped its midsize Ranger pickup, and Mazda canceled the mechanically similar B-Series. Dodge also pulled the plug on its midsize Dakota. That leaves just the Honda Ridgeline, Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma to battle it out for buyers who want a pickup but don't need a full-size model.
What it means to you: If you can't find what you're looking for among today's midsize pickups, consider waiting for the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado replacement.
The photo is of the 2013 Chevrolet Colorado that's currently available outside the US. We expect the 2015 version to be somewhat similar.

In January 2000 Mr. Keenan sent along the following comment via e-mail, and he has allowed it to be included in the Victorian Web discussion about modern equivalents to the Victorian pound and shilling. [GPL]
I have been reading your postings on the Victorian Web, and one item is of particular interest to me. I have done far less work on the money of the period in comparison to modern money than you have, but I would appreciate it if you would permit me a small comment.
With understandable caveats, you say that a Pound in the late Victorian period would be about equal to $100 today. My limited research indicates a figure closer to $200, considering that one Pound was equal to $5 (or near enough) for the whole period, with a Sovereign and a $5 gold piece being very close in gold content. A moderate dinner in a restaurant at the time would cost about $.25, or a shilling, or $10 in modern terms. Not a high price dinner, but more likely than your $5.00 one.
Part of the reason for my saying $200 rather than your $100 is that at that time there was no income tax, so we must consider that much more of a person's salary was available for spending. I realize this makes a shilling worth $10 in 2000 terms, but that is not far off in many respects. It would make the famous "penny loaf" about 80 cents, not far off the cost of a loaf of bread today.
A number of other attempts at using the $200 figure show it to be reasonable.
Very truly yours,
James E. Keenan [email@example.com]

Asked by Duane, Mississippi
I am a type 2 diabetic. My glucose levels are tightly controlled with diet and exercise (no medication). Otherwise I am in good condition. I would like to run a marathon, but I have questions about appropriate nutritional options. The typical high-carb diet of many runners probably isn't a good option for me. I haven't been able to find any useful info on the Internet. Can you provide any advice or links to helpful sites?
Diet and Fitness Expert
Dr. Melina Jampolis
Physician Nutrition Specialist
Hi Duane. First of all, congratulations on your goal of running a marathon. This is a terrific way to stay motivated to exercise, and your type 2 diabetes should not get in the way. To help answer your question, I contacted internationally known sports nutritionist and author Nancy Clark, MS, RD, CSSD. She explained that the more you train, the better your body will be able to utilize carbohydrates, so you do not need to fear carbohydrates, even with type 2 diabetes. She made a few suggestions for the most appropriate way to eat carbohydrates while still maintaining good blood sugar control. All of these tips will also work well for people without diabetes training for a marathon.
Most important, you should fuel your body evenly throughout the day by eating mainly high quality carbohydrates such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables along with lean protein with every meal and snack. Try oatmeal for breakfast with an egg or a few egg whites, a turkey sandwich for lunch with a side of carrots and hummus, fruit and yogurt or nuts for an afternoon snack, and whole wheat pasta with turkey meatballs and a nice salad with olive oil for dinner. On longer training days, you will need more carbohydrates during and after your run. On runs lasting longer than 90 minutes, you will need to consume carbohydrate calories at a rate of about 200-240 calories per hour (or about 50-60 grams carbs/hour, depending on your body size). Don't worry about consuming carbohydrates during exercise as they will be burned very quickly by the body. You can consume carbohydrates in the form of a sports drink, sports gel, dried fruit, or even gummy candy. It is important to experiment during your training to determine what fuel source of carbohydrates works best for you.
After exercise, it is important to refuel your body with carbohydrates and some protein. Good choices include chocolate milk, cereal with milk, or a turkey sandwich. You will most likely need more carbohydrates for the next 24 hours, as your body replaces depleted muscle glycogen stores. (Glycogen is how your body stores carbs, so they are available to fuel during exercise.) Carbohydrate loading before long runs is not necessary. It is better to fuel your body correctly during your runs.
For more information, check out Nancy's book "Nancy Clark's Food Guide for New Runners, 2nd Edition (2009)" .

A Savannah man was arrested and charged with burglary after stealing a cellphone, then accidentally sending a photo of himself to the victim's Facebook page, according to Savannah-Chatham police.
On Nov. 21, police say, Timothy Jerell Jackson, 18, broke into a vehicle in the 500 block of Charlton Lane and stole two phones that belonged to Lori Uhr of Florida. About 3 p.m. the next day, Uhr noticed a photo pop up on her Facebook account. She told police her phone is set up to automatically upload photos that are taken with it.
Uhr turned the photo over to police, and a detective with the Downtown Precinct identified Jackson from the picture, according to police. The detective checked on Jackson's whereabouts and discovered he was currently on probation.
Jackson was arrested Tuesday and charged with second-degree burglary.

Planetary geologist Herb Frey of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and his daughter Erin Frey, a junior at South River High School, in Edgewater, Md., will be explaining their discoveries in two consecutive presentations at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America on Sunday, October 27, in Denver, CO.
In both studies Mar Orbiting Laser Altimeter data was loaded into a graphics program that allowed colors to be assigned to different elevations. By manually shifting and stretching the colors to study various ranges of elevation change, they were able to detect very subtle quasi-circular depressions, or "QCDs" for short. The Freys contend that these are craters from early times before the Noachian (pronounced "no-ACK-ee-en") -- the name for the oldest identified geological time period on Mars.
What it all means, says Erin Frey, is that the oldest visible Martian crust is not really the oldest. "We are talking about crust that's actually older," she said. Something from a period they are calling the "Pre-Noachian."
Erin Frey focused her search for Pre-Noachian craters on a relatively small area near the Hellas Basin of Mars that has been previously considered Early in age. What she found were subtle signs that there was a yet earlier episode of intense impacts, largely covered over by subsequent cratering and billions of years of geological processes.
Herb Frey took a similar approach in studying the entire planet for signs of very early large impacts. In the flat northern lowlands of Mars, for instance, he found QCDs buried by eons of accumulated dust, volcanic materials, and other sediments. Placing the cratered surfaces in order, Herb Frey says that it appears the buried lowlands are older than the visible cratered surface of the Noachian southern highlands, and that the QCDs his daughter found in the highlands are older still.
How old? "We can't assign absolute ages because we don't know how far back these subsurfaces go," says Erin Frey. What's more, despite previous geologists assigning ages of about four-billion-years old to the Noachian and the Southern Highlands, it's just a guess based on the order in which things appeared to have occurred on Mars and what's known about similarly cratered crust on the Moon.
"It's actually a very squirrelly business," said Herb Frey of attempts to assign actual ages to Martian features without actual rock samples isotopically. Still, there are some things the older crust can tell us about the history of Mars.
For one thing, says Herb Frey, the evidence of earlier impact periods means that some process that fit in to a relatively short interval formed the oddly low northern hemisphere of Mars. That means hypotheses of plate tectonics and large-scale motion in Mars' mantle may be less likely - since they tend to be very slow processes. Alternatively, what becomes more likely is that the northern lowlands were formed by a massive impact event. "It fits in with the timescale," he said.
Until samples from the cratered terrains can be studied in labs, there are experiments that can be sent to Mars that will help clear things up, says Herb Frey. One would be a series of seismic sensors that could listen to Mars quakes and use the information to discern the interior structure of the planet - as is done on Earth. European and US scientists are already planning such a project, says Frey.

Gadsden State Community College is seeking help to win Home Depot's "Retool Your School" grant, which is available to Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
Gadsden State Community College is seeking help to win Home Depot's "Retool Your School" grant, which is available to Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
This year's Campus Pride Grant will be awarded to the school that receives the most votes and social media activity during the voting period, as assessed by The Home Depot.
The grant has three options including a Tier I Major Project Award of $50,000; 12 Tier II Minor Project awards of $10,000; and a Campus Pride Project Award of $25,000.
Tier I and Tier II grants will be awarded based on a ratio of consumer voting and advisory board panel selection.
If Gadsden State wins the major award, the proposed project is an upgrade and overhaul of the HVAC and carpentry classroom/shop areas to include ceilings, lights, shelving, cabinetry and painting.
Proposed projects for the minor award include painting student restrooms, replacing ceiling tiles and obtaining a gas utility vehicle for campus maintenance and upkeep. Projects proposed for this award include resealing all campus building seams and installing weather stripping on all windows.
Last year, with the help of the community, alumni members, friends of GSCC, students, faculty and staff, Gadsden State received a $10,000 Tier II grant. The money was used to install eco-friendly landscaping, solar lighting and student-friendly outdoor study spaces to improve the appearance and learning environment on the Valley Street Campus.
In addition to HVAC and carpentry students, the campus is home to students enrolled in the licensed practical nursing, certified nursing assistant and marketing management programs, as well as,college administrators, faculty and staff.
The grant applications will be judged by a panel of advisors and by the online voting score. Anyone can vote one time per day at www.retoolyourschool.com.
Online voting began Monday and will conclude April 15.

As many people are aware, the 1994 version of Z39.50, the ANSI/NISO protocol for information retrieval, has been under development by the Z39.50 Implementors Group (ZIG) for several years. This new version adds many features and enhancements to the 1992 version of the protocol while keeping functionality backwardly compatible with it. Most of the new features added to the standard were the result of two factors: the experience gained by implementors building real-world systems using the earlier version and the need to meet requirements of the larger community using Z39.50 for additional functionality to handle the larger set of services those real-world systems support. Among the new services added are a SCAN facility, a SORT facility, an EXPLAIN facility that provides a standardized mechanism within the protocol for clients to learn about the characteristics of servers they are connecting to, and an EXTENDED SERVICES facility that allows the initiation of services within the Z39.50 session that will then be accomplished outside of the protocol itself.
Some of the extended services include requesting document delivery, mailing and printing of result sets, initiating and scheduling periodic queries, and database update. Other functionality that has been added in this new version includes support for larger record sizes and additional record transfer syntaxes.
The new version of Z39.50-1994 was recently sent to NISO's voting members for ballot. Thus, ASIS had the opportunity to comment and vote on the revised version. Below are the comments that the ASIS Standards Committee, acting on behalf of the ASIS membership, sent into NISO on Z39.50-1994.
ASIS Comments on Z39.50-1994
Having seen in draft format the ballot comments entered by the Library of Congress (LC), ASIS wishes to support all of the technical and editorial points made by LC and assumes that since those comments were an attempt to systematically go through the standard and correct both editorial errors and detailed technical errors and confusions, those comments will be incorporated into the final version of the standard.
ASIS also wishes to express serious concern about the complexities and interoperability problems that have been introduced into version 3. These comments echo those made by other voting members. The standard has become unnecessarily complex and confusing, and it is difficult for potential implementors to understand which portions of the document represent real required implementation and which do not.
The document has confused protocol with the data formats used by the protocol. What should be in the standard is the protocol. Many of the things, especially in the appendices, such as data formats, the defined extended services, element specification formats, variant sets and tag sets, do not need to be documented in the base standard. Z39.50 uses a registration model. Those things should be registered outside the standard, and the standard should describe how information on registered formats can be obtained, which it does not currently do.
If the data formats are of sufficiently broad utility, they should be considered for standardization through NISO in its own right, much as Z39.2 has been. MARC is not defined in Z39.50; it is not clear why GRS is. In addition some of the formats, especially GRS and the variant and tag specifications, are not sufficiently mature that they should be registered at all, let alone directly in the base document. At this point, they would be better left at an experimental level until further experience can be obtained with them and there is more of an understanding of the potential interoperability problems they may have. The immaturity of these features is evident in the particularly opaque descriptions of these features and the debates among current implementors of these features themselves about how to interpret material in the standard and use these features.
Another example is the Extended Services facility. The description of the facility does belong in the base document; nor should the definitions of the extended services be included until there is more of an understanding of which of them really represent a core service that will be widely implemented. Due to historical considerations and probably because of its special nature, the BIB-1 and EXPLAIN material is probably an exception to the above comments and needs to remain in the base document.
Evidently, one of the basic design decisions made in developing version 3 was that it be entirely back compatible and interoperable with version 2. The complexity and cost of this decision are painfully evident in the version 3 standard. ASIS suggests that this not be a design assumption for future versions and that efforts be made wherever possible to streamline and simplify things in future versions of the protocol.
Having made the above comments, ASIS also recognizes that a lot of work went into developing version 3 and that many of the new features bring the standard a higher level of functionality than was possible in the 1992 version. In addition the community is waiting for version 3 to be stabilized. But more important perhaps are those in other communities who are evaluating Z39.50 as a potential usable standard who may decide to bypass it for other protocol solutions if they feel that the process by which the standard gets stabilized is too cumbersome and time consuming.
Thus, ASIS, in spite of the above technical comments, reluctantly votes Yes with the hope that many, if not all, of the issues detailed here (and perhaps in other ballot comments) will be addressed either in ancillary documents or in the next version of the standard which is expected to start development once version 3 is approved.
Voting on NISO Z39.14
The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) is currently seeking comments on a draft revision to the American National Standard for Writing Abstracts (ANSI/NISO Z39.14). The proposed revised standard gives guidance to authors or editors of abstracts that represent the content of texts reporting on the results of experimental or investigative work (informative abstracts) or descriptive or discursive studies (indicative or combined indicative-informative abstracts). The guidance is applicable to all conventional forms of abstracts and such unconventional ones as structured abstracts.
The ASIS Standards Committee is currently reviewing the proposed revisions and will cast its ballot on behalf of the ASIS membership before the March 15 deadline. Any ASIS member who would like to provide comments on the basis of a careful review of the proposal is invited to contact Mark Needleman, chair of the ASIS Standards Committee, by e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com or through ASIS headquarters.

101.7 The Fox is Off the Air — What Happened?
In a surprising twist that has just about everybody scratching their heads, longtime hard-rock radio station 101.7 FM The Fox has officially been pulled off the air.
According to a source close to the station, employees of the Fox found out about the change in a meeting at 11am today. Immediately afterward, the station went off the air at noon.
The replacement station, "Hot 101.7, Sonoma County's Hit Music Station," is currently playing Top 40 hits (as I type this, it's Ke$ha's "Tik Tok"). If listeners notice any resemblance to another local Top 40 station, it's no coincidence. Maverick Media, the Fox's parent company, recently conducted an audit through a third-party surveying company and found that among those polled, Top 40 is more appealing in this region than hard rock.
Said another source: "They hired this company that finds out what music works, and what music isn't working, and they felt like in order to keep a competitive edge in the market, they needed to strong-arm the only station that didn't have any competition."
That station, Y 100.9, airs on a weaker signal in Sonoma County, and the Maverick Media executives at the meeting seemed confident that Hot 101.7 will be able to overpower the smaller station "out of business," the source said. (Y 100.9 is owned by Sinclair Communications, which also owns 95.9 the KRSH and 96.7 BOB-FM.)
Hot 101.7's new site declares: "We asked Sonoma County what they wanted from their favorite radio station. You told us you wanted a HOT station that played hit music with LOTS of music." (As I type now, it's the Black Eyed Peas, "Just Can't Get Enough.")
Public response so far has been predictably negative, with the new station's Facebook page filled with "fans" who are making their voice clear: "What the HELL!!!!" writes a typical fan. "No more freaking pop stations!!! I want the old FOX back. Gimme my rock back. I am beyond sick to my stomach. UGH!!!!!!" Elsewhere on the station's Facebook page, fans complain about having their posts removed by the administrator.
A page for "Fight Hot 101.7" has cropped up just today, along with an even bigger page called "Bring Back the Fox," and a public protest is planned for Friday, March 25, at 4pm.
Without a doubt, this marks the end of an era for Sonoma County radio. For over 20 years, the Fox has been a Sonoma County standby, serving up classic hard rock like AC/DC and Metallica to more recent music from System of a Down, Disturbed and Velvet Revolver. About a month ago, longtime program director Scott Less left 101.7 the Fox for the Pacific Northwest, but apparently, even prior to Less' departure, a "skeleton crew" had been running things with barely any financial support from Maverick Media.
Based in Connecticut, Maverick Media are the same people who thought it would be a good idea to fire Steve Jaxon, one of the greatest DJs in Sonoma County, and who aren't available for comment (their website has been perpetually "under construction" for well over a year). Located over 3,000 miles from the station's Fox Plaza, they've seemed perpetually out of touch with what Sonoma County actually wants, and have now killed the station that gave the building its name. (Right now, they're playing Britney Spears, "Womanizer.")
The employees of the Fox have been told that they'll be able to keep their jobs, but in what capacity exactly is unclear. Currently, Hot 101.7 is broadcasting with no human DJs at all, playing canned tracks on a piped-in feed from corporate headquarters. Sad.

Open Textbook RFP
OSU Extended Campus and OSU Libraries and Press (OSULP) are partnering to implement a pilot program that encourages the development of open access textbooks at Oregon State University. We seek proposals for the development of an open textbook by OSU faculty members. (An OSU faculty member must be the sole or lead author.) Open textbooks are digital in format, and made freely available over the web. OSULP and Extended Campus are committed to publishing an open textbook in order to support students from the perspective of both textbook affordability and the enhanced learning opportunities provided by the digital format. The textbook may be original content, or may be a compilation of openly licensed materials. The textbook will include extensive, original multi-media and interactive content. Technical support for the development of these features will be provided to the author by the Extended Campus Open Education Resources unit. OSU Press will provide editorial development, and the manuscript selected for consideration will undergo peer review and will ultimately require approval by the OSU Press Editorial Board. A print-on-demand version of the book will also be made available for purchase, with associated author royalties.
The textbook should be a comprehensive work geared toward a specific field of study. Preference will be given to proposals with applicability toward multiple, high-enrollment undergraduate courses in the following subject areas: natural resources, geosciences, forestry, marine biology, agricultural sciences, and environmental sciences.
In addition to any print-on-demand royalties, the author will be compensated with $15,000-$20,000 in a budget transfer to a dedicated index within his or her department. These funds could be used for purposes such as course buy-out, professional travel, research support, etc. Advances will be available, with the schedule for disbursement and associated deliverables to be determined in consultation with the author.
Proposals are due September 15, 2013. Anticipated publication would occur in 2014 or 2015 depending on the nature of the work.
To help us evaluate your project, we need to know more about you and your book. Please submit a proposal that provides all the information below. Please do not send the entire manuscript unless requested.
- Title of the manuscript.
- Your name, title, and affiliation; please include complete contact information. Include brief bios for coauthors if applicable.
- Briefly describe the content of your book, and how it supports the intent of this open textbook RFP.
- Describe your qualifications as an author, as well as those of any coauthors.
- Describe your intended audience, and any courses that would be likely to use the book at OSU or other schools.
- List the significant books in print on this topic, and explain how and why your book is different. What is its most distinguishing characteristic? What is its unique contribution to the field?
- Provide manuscript specifics, such as a table of contents, chapter by chapter description, and the manuscript's estimated length.
- If available, please provide sample chapters, preferably the introduction and one or two substantive chapters.
- Describe your vision for the inclusion of multi-media elements, interactive features, and other graphics.
- How often do you anticipate revisions/updates will be required?
- Include an up-to-date CV or résumé.
- Have you submitted this to other presses? If so, to whom did you submit it?
- Please suggest 2–3 possible reviewers for your manuscript, including contact information, affiliation, etc.
Send proposal as an email attachment to:
