BLOG: Wonder Festival Winter 2016 – Ultra-Act x S.H.Figuarts ULTRAMAN SUIT Ver.7.2
|True to their word (or teaser), Tamashii Nations brought out a colored prototype of the Ultra-Act x S.H.Figuarts ULTRAMAN SUIT Ver.7.2 figure to Wonder Festival Winter 2016.
The design is an homage to Ultraseven with the silver armor panels at the top of the torso as well as the shoulders. That said, some changes were made to the design similar to the first Ultraman Suit. These include an straight visor for the optics instead of individual eyes, as well as keeping the bladed weapon motif by wielding a katana instead of throwing its head crest like the original Ultraseven. Unfortunately, the figure is going to be a Tamashii Web Exclusive and will be available this August.

Health a factor in single-serve snacks
The back-to-school season brings a focus on single-serve snacks, and healthy snacks become a bigger part of the business every year. A recent report from Mintel revealed that while children are a major influence on the buying of multipack/bulk salty snacks, "given the increased concerns regarding nutrition, manufacturers can appeal to parents with products offering a better-for-you selling proposition." Christine Brown, a spokeswoman for Natural Snacks said the company, which focuses on all-natural products, sees "a double-digit spike once school starts."
In a back-to-school circular that devoted five pages to lunch and snack foods, Target featured Crunch Pak's bagged apple slices, Clif Kid Z Bars and private-label Mandarin orange fruit cups. Whole Foods devoted endcaps to a cross promotion for Honest Kids and Pirate Brands' Booty and Veggie Booty.
Nut-free snacks may be an area to watch as more elementary schools adopt nut-free policies for some lunch tables.

Seasonal, novelty sweets flavor sales
Consumers still have a sweet tooth despite a sour economy. U.S. confectionery sales at food, drug and mass stores continue to grow at a pace of 4.2%, outpacing overall store sales, according to data from the National Confectioners Association.
Chocolate is the key growth driver, with sales up nearly 8% in the drug channel, according to SymphonyIRI Group data for the 52-week period ended July 11. Sweet and savory combinations are one of the segment's top trends, according to NCA.
The seasonal segment accounts for 50% of confection sales for the drug channel. "More than half of Christmas candy dollars come from the gifting segment," said Tim Quinn, VP trade development for Mars Chocolate North America. "Consumers can pick up a last-minute hostess gift or stocking stuffer at their local drug store."
NCA spokeswoman Jenn Ellek said seasonal and novelty products offer retailers a big opportunity for higher margins. "This area is almost purely impulse, so retailers need to merchandise well and make an early commitment so they have the right merchandise at the right time," she said. Ellek also said that sales of nonchocolate novelties were up nearly 11% in the drug channel for the 12-week period ended July 11.
Licenses — always an important part of the category — will see a boost this fall from the Blu-ray release of "Star Wars" and the release of one movie in 3-D in February. "CandyRific's M&M's Star Wars Lightsaber is our No. 1-selling novelty item in the United States, and Darth Vader and Darth Maul are the two best-selling characters," said Rob Auerbach, CandyRific's president.

Developing 'First Tastes'
HENLEY-ON-THAMES, U.K. — United Kingdom-based organic kids' brand Ella's Kitchen is rolling out a number of products that were launched exclusively in Target in July. The First Tastes line, which includes squeezable fruit and fruit-and-rice combinations, was created for babies transitioning to solid foods.
Toddlers and preschoolers also have developed a taste for Ella's "smoothie fruit" squeezable products, and moms are including them as take-along snacks in lunchboxes.
Ella's also has introduced a Baby Brekkie line that contains a blend of organic fruit puree, natural yogurt and whole-grain rice in four flavors.
The products, which are organic and made with all-natural ingredients, will be rolled out nationally in October.

For 4 months or more, this intrepid Coreopsis flowers profusely atop bushy, dense, mounded foliage. These 1½-inch blooms are lighter than most Coreopsis, a creamy color punctuated by a frizzy orange eye and startling maroon circle at the base of the petals. A sport of C. 'Nana', 'Snowberry' is a tirelessly floriferous variety that butterflies love and cutflower gardeners cannot do without.
Useful as edging, in the front of the border, and even in containers, it is a carefree choice for the sun-soaked garden or patio. This is a very hardy perennial, eager to grow and bloom for many seasons.
'Snowberry' stands 26 inches high and spreads slightly wider, and because it is sterile, it won't self-sow, but concentrates instead on sending up ever more buds and blooms! Deadhead the flowers promptly for even faster rebloom. Zones 6-9.
Set plants 10 to 12 inches apart, or more for larger cultivars. Choose a location in full sun or very light shade; any reasonable soil, so long as it is well-drained, will do.
Periodically removing spent flowers will lengthen the blooming season. We recommend a mulch of humus or compost. Dividing every 2 or 3 years as it becomes necessary will induce stronger growth. Otherwise, plants are pest- and disease-free, requiring no special care.

The Public Discussion of the Work of Other Engineers—Ethical or Unethical?by Harold H. Wagle, Grad. Student; Wharton Grad. Div., Univ. of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA.; formerly, Student, Dept. of Civ. Engrg., Leigh Univ., Bethlehem, PA,
Serial Information: Engineering Issues: Journal of Professional Activities, 1974, Vol. 100, Issue 1, Pg. 37-39
Document Type: Journal Paper
This public discussion of the work of other engineers is, like the majority of ethics problems, a complex matter. Although the issue was somewhat simplified in the original canons adopted in 1947 by the Engineer's Council for Professional Development, its rule was lost through revision in 1963. Following other canons, an engineer is obligated both to contact and to receive consideration from the engineer with whom he has dispute. In the event that this ample consideration would not result in resolution of the problem, there are two possible recourses. One involves the original 1947 canons of the ECPD by which the dissenting engineer would resort to the available engineering forums of publications and societies, and the other recourse being the proper authorities. Neither involves public discussion. The danger of open discussion of an esoteric body of technical knowledge is found in likelihood of its being misconstrued by the layman. Public discussion is an unattractive alternative.

Published in The Ferndale Record, March 27, 2013
I used to be 'that' mother. The one that yelled the loudest from the stands for her kid on the field, the one that clapped and hooted vigorously after every child's performance, the one that gushed and cooed over every 'participant' ribbon my children brought through the door.
When it was a trophy or winning award, the air oozed with gusto that could easily suffocate everyone else in the room. Exceptional examples of schoolwork or first numbers scrawled on a napkin were stuck onto the refrigerator for months.
Everyone knows parents who fall into the hyper-enthusiastic category. I thought prolonged cheerleading was how one motivated offspring, and didn't know any other way to express the abundance I felt.
Then some time ago I discovered how embarrassing my antics had been to one of my children. This cut deep and hard. In the name of encouragement and parental zeal, I'd humiliated one I love.
I used to be 'that' mother, and inside my heart of hearts, I still am. I've toned it down, which is not a natural state for me, but curiously, especially as the mother of adult children, it's revealing. Maybe it's simple maturity or something like it, but robust hollering from the sidelines has been replaced with perspective and gratitude.
Recently, my son and daughter-in-law invited me to Boston for a visit. I got to spend a few days with their family, see them in their natural habitat, and observe the life they've built since their move from Seattle last summer.
The entire trip could have been me shouting from the stands. "Oh, this is wonderful! I love this house! What adorable children you have! This city is amazing! WOO HOO!" I could hear it all rumbling around in my soul. When we drove past Fenway Park, I'll admit to a somewhat sedated outburst. I just couldn't help it.
Then, right before the flight back to Seattle, I visited my son's office on the 14th floor with a spectacular view of the Boston skyline. I saw his name on the door and felt that tug again—the one that wants to gush.
I saw the pictures of family on his shelves, the awards he's earned, and quite suddenly I felt like he'd just brought his first finger painting home from kindergarten. Only this time, I had no words, no overwhelming ebullience to express. It caught in my throat, and the only thing I could feel was joy.
As he drove me to the airport I told him what a great job I thought he was doing with his family, his life, and that it was lovely to witness. He laughed and said something like, "And this from a mother who thinks everything I do is great!"
"No," I told him, "It's more than that. You love your wife and children and they love you. Your kids feel safe and want to be with you. You are building a happy life. I'm telling you I can see that."
I've figured out that it's not so much about me being a frenzied proponent as it is about loving without agenda, guile and ego. When I do that, my tendency to emote gets swallowed up in pure joy.
I still bubble over occasionally and probably always will. But there's more satisfaction in subdued observation than I ever would have thought. Gravy days for sure!

Structure and stellar content analysis of the open cluster M 11 with 2MASS photometry
Departamento de Física, ICEx, UFMG, CP 702, 30123-970 Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
2 Departamento de Astronomia, IF-UFRGS, CP 15051, 91501-970 Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil
Accepted: 3 July 2005
An overall analysis of the structure and stellar content of M 11 is presented, thanks to the wide-angle 2MASS spatial coverage. We derive photometric and structural parameters and discuss the spatial dependance of the luminosity and mass functions. Photometric parameters basically agree with previous ones mostly based on the optical. We obtained a core radius of 1.23 pc and a tidal radius of 29 pc. In particular, the cluster is populous enough so that the tidal radius could be obtained by fitting the three-parameter King profile to the radial distribution of stars. We analyzed the spatial distribution of mass functions, finding that the slope changes from -0.73 in the core to +2.88 in the outer halo. The spatial distribution of mass function slopes derived from 2MASS agrees with that derived from optical CCD data, which further confirms the reliability of 2MASS data for future analyses of this kind at comparable observational limits. We detect mass segregation up to distances from the center of ≈. We emphasize that the mass function slope in the core is flatter than anywhere else as a consequence of mass segregation. The derived total cluster mass is ≈.

The sincerity in Chris Mullin's statement was startling.
After watching Shamorie Ponds' record-setting 44-point performance Saturday at Carnesecca Arena, the best player in St. John's history said he could not remember ever playing as well in Queens as his young guard just had against Marquette.
"Not even close," the St. John's coach said.
After being ignored in New York for most of the past two seasons, Ponds suddenly has received as much national attention over the past 11 days as any Red Storm player this millennium.
In leading the Red Storm to wins over No. 4 Duke, No. 1 Villanova — the Johnnies' first win over the nation's top-ranked team since Mullin was wearing short shorts — and Marquette, Ponds claimed back-to-back Big East Player of the Week awards, and was just named the United States Basketball Writers Association National Player of the Week.
But less than three weeks earlier, Ponds had shot 3-for-11 against Creighton, and finished with seven points. He followed with an 0-for-12 effort and two points at Butler. In the midst of a six-week St. John's losing streak, Ponds' struggles were overlooked.
Now, enjoying a previously unthinkable three-game winning streak and unending praise, the Brooklyn native can't go unnoticed anymore.
"We all know both sides of that, so you better keep that in perspective," Mullin said by phone Tuesday. "There's always two sides of the coin, so you've got to be able to handle both."
If Ponds handles the extra attention as well as he handled losing, it won't be an issue.Over the past four games, Ponds is averaging 33.5 points, while shooting nearly 56 percent from the field, including 13-of-27 on 3-point attempts. The sophomore, who ranks second in the Big East with 21.4 points per game, is also averaging 5.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 3.3 steals, during the three-game span.
"To me, it looks like he's moving better," Mullin said. "He's getting by his man. There was a time where he was having a hard time getting by people, even centers. The threat of him blowing by, and actually doing it, then they're backing off. … He's making more shots. That's still the name of the game."
Mullin said he hasn't noticed any difference in Ponds since the country discovered the city's next star. The biggest 6-foot-1 man on campus is getting what he's always wanted.
"I feel like I was always underrated my whole life, so I'm just trying to show the world my talent, and what I'm capable of," Ponds said.
Though Wednesday's visit to DePaul (10-14, 3-9), which sits in ninth place in the Big East, could allow a confident team to lower its guard, St. John's (13-13, 2-11) isn't worried about the potential trap, having already lost, 91-74, at home to the Blue Demons last month.
During what Mullin called the team's worst showing of the season, Ponds scored 15 points, making 7-of-24 shots (1-of-9 from 3-point range).
"We can't overlook anybody," Ponds said. "This team has beat us before. That should be all the motivation we need. … From bottom to top anybody can win, and it's happening."

The Beat Newsletter: April 2016
Spring is Popping-up and so is the #ArtsEdNow Campaign
New Grade Weighting Law: What You Can Do NOW!
On January 19, 2016, Governor Christie signed A311 (Public Law 2015, CHAPTER 262), the Arts Education Grade Weighting Bill, into law!
The law's enactment is the culmination of nearly nine years of work. The issue of unequal grade weighting was first illuminated in the 2007 Census report Within Our Power. The report showed more than 20% of high schools reported unequal grade weighting of arts courses. The arbitrary and unequal grade weighting between similar courses creates an artificial barrier to students who have a desire to participate in the arts. When a school district applies unequal weighting for equal courses students are forced to choose between their passion and their grade point average and class rank. This is not only unfair… but it flies in the face of our own educational expectations. We are now at the final step of removing this barrier once and for all.
The final step is action by local school districts! For implementation for the 2016/2017 school year it is important to START NOW!
Here are some suggestions:
For Teachers:
– Review the current course offerings
– Determine which courses may qualify for advanced, honors or AP weighting. This could include advanced courses with prerequisites (AP Art, Advanced design, AP Music Theory), audition only ensembles (like Wind Ensemble, Jazz Band, Advanced Chorus)
– Meet with your curriculum supervisor. Share with them the new law and the list of courses suggested for additional weighting.
– Determine the local process to have the weighting changed
For Parents/Citizens:
– Check with the arts education faculty if there are courses that may qualify for increased weighting – Email the head of curriculum and copy the superintendent a copy of the new law and ask for them to outline the process for review of arts courses for proper weighting
– Share the information with other parents and hold the administration accountable for following through with the review process
– To be clear, this is not a complicated process. However, you must start now. The administration has the legal authority to change the weighting to come into alignment with the law. They may make these changes all the way up to the start of the new school year on July 1, 2016.
The text of new law is as follows:
AN ACT concerning the calculation of pupil grade point averages and supplementing chapter 35 of Title 18A of the New Jersey Statutes.
BE IT ENACTED by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey:
- a. A school district shall weight courses in the visual and performing arts equally with other courses of the same level of academic rigor and worth the same number of credits in calculating a pupil's grade point average.
- As used in this section, "academic rigor" means a course's classification as a general education course, an honors course, or an advanced placement course.
This act shall take effect immediately and shall first apply to the first full school year following the date of enactment.
State Policy Pilot Program Spring Convening Report
In March, the NJ State Policy Pilot Program (SP3) team visited Washington, D.C. for the bi-annual cohort meeting of the participating 10 states. This program, funded by Americans for the Arts (AFTA), is a three-year pilot program to strengthen arts education by advancing state policy. In addition to New Jersey, the states participating are: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Wyoming.
The focus of the NJ project is the ArtsEdNow campaign and the survey created to capture the knowledge of and involvement in the arts and arts education for the candidates running for school board.
Our NJ team has been noted for its strength and breadth and includes: Nick Paleologos and Robin Middleman of the NJ State Council on the Arts, Dale Schmid of the NJ Department of Education, Wendy Liscow of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, Mary Reece of the Foundation for Educational Administration, Ann Marie Miller of ArtPride NJ, Danielle Farrie of the Education Law Center and the NJAEP.
The recent meeting in Washington marked the halfway point of the project. The gathering allowed the NJ team to spend time with Ennis Carter of Social Impact Studios to plan for the launch of the ArtsEdNow campaign. We also met with the AFTA evaluators – who continue to be impressed by the accomplishments of the NJ project. However, as we have found in the past, the greatest benefit of these gatherings is the opportunity to share and learn from the other cohort states. The NJ team spent several hours meeting with members from the California team to learn about the STEAM initiative in their state. From their experience we learned of other state models and best practices to bring to our work in NJ. This gave us priceless information from the folks who have been doing the work – an invaluable afternoon. We look forward to continuing to share our work with the other states and will continue to reach out to others to strengthen arts education here is NJ.
An outgrowth of the SP3 works happens on April 11 at NJ Principals and Supervisors Association. The professional development session – Achieving Title 1 Goals: The Role of Arts Education includes – Laura Smyth, Lead Consultant, Title 1 Initiative, California Alliance for Arts Education. The connections we made through SP3 brings California's work to NJ to inform administrators on how arts education can be an asset to schools receiving Title 1 funds. Studies find that integrating the arts with instruction in other academic subjects increases student learning and achievement and helps teachers more effectively meet the needs of all students.
We are excited to have made this connection between California and NJ and will continue to connect with the other SP3 states as the project moves to the next phase.
Blog: #STEAM Stories from the Garden State
STEAM EmPOWERment showcases the work of several schools in the Paterson Public Schools. Photo via steamempowerment.blogspot.com.
Conversations about STEAM, both in New Jersey and throughout the United States, are frequently taking place in educational circles. STEAM — an acronym that has become synonymous with learning in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math — is regarded by many as a worthwhile and impactful approach to learning. As with other issues related to the arts in education, New Jersey continues to make positive inroads with this topic. With educational leaders throughout the state publicly recognizing the value of STEAM learning, the support and infrastructure for hands-on, interdisciplinary learning experiences continues to grow. To view a video from EdCamp STEAM, a professional development event held at the Linwood Middle School in North Brunswick Click on this link
One way to think about STEAM is through the lens of arts integration: the application of one or more arts disciplines enabling students to make deep and meaningful connections with concepts in Science, Technology, Engineering or Math. For those already familiar with the long tradition of arts integration there is probably little surprise that the STEAM model has captured the attention of educators and educational leaders. With STEAM learning responsible for many positive outcomes, there seems to be just cause for the recognition it receives these days. As an instructional model, arts integration has been regarded as highly effective for decades.
Countless examples of STEAM learning take place throughout New Jersey. The New Jersey Arts Education Partnership looks for stories and details about the inspired STEAM projects practitioners develop. For example, GE Wilson Elementary in Hamilton was featured on NJTV's Classroom Close-up recently, with a highlight on the school's interactive murals.
The time spent creating the artwork is not only highly engaging for students, but once complete, the murals become artifacts that teachers employ to reinforce other subjects. One of the murals at GE Wilson is used to help students better understand the lifecycle of plants, while another is used as a teaching tool in 3rd grade math classes. Large-scale group projects like these represent one approach to STEAM learning.
Other STEAM projects increase students' exposure to cultural resources in the community. This was the case on March 7, when a reception was held at the Paterson Museum in Paterson featuring a student STEAM Art Exhibition. The event was a remarkable opportunity to showcase students' artistic accomplishments, as well as the significant learning that has taken place. The artwork resulted from cross-disciplinary learning, which was supported by William Paterson University's Professor In Residence STEAM initiative.
Last fall, during the New Jersey School Boards Association conference there was a session devoted to a multi-year STEAM project in Beach Haven. Details about the project can be found on a blog that documents the process; a process that stretched beyond the walls of the school building. For example, in order to write an original script that would culminate in a student performance at a local theater, the young playwrights sought input from members of the community who had lived through two epic storms: one in 1962 and the other in 2012. Students engaged in the project were learning about science through the lens of island ecology.
These examples, and myriad others taking place throughout New Jersey, demonstrate the how the process of learning and the learning environment are both enlivened and expanded through STEAM. Fortunately, with support received from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, STEAM programs like those in Paterson, Beach Haven, and other communities can continue to thrive.
Do you have a favorite example of STEAM learning you would like to share? If so, we would love to hear about it.
Please visit the New Jersey Arts Education Partnership Facebook page and post videos or photos with a short description of the project…or projects. If you have a blog that features examples of student work, feel free to include that, too. Let's try to collect the most shining examples of STEAM stories from the Garden State.

The Siberian side include Georgian centre Davit Katcharava, who played against Wales in November, and newly-signed Australian wing Richard Kingi, a former Queensland Reds, Melbourne Rebels and Stade Francais player.
It is the second of five home fixtures in a row for the Welsh region, and coach Bernard Jackman is keen to make the most of the run after heavy defeats in Munster and Leinster.
"We want our home games to be different, we call them Test weeks", said the former Ireland hooker.
"We're starting to build a bit of attachment with our fans, and we've got to reinforce that trust between us and our home fans.
"We can get a bit of extra momentum, with this weekend and next weekend (against Newcastle) leading us into the two Welsh derbies which we're very excited about."
Dragons' Pool A rivals Newcastle and Bordeaux-Begles meet on Saturday at Kingston Park (15:15 GMT).
Newcastle have nine points from the first two rounds, with Bordeaux-Begles and the Dragons on six.

Saturday was my birthday, so I made time to treat myself to an at-home manicure, which I often don't have the time to do. But immediately after pulling out my arsenal of polishes and other accouterments, my 2-year-old starts whining, making sad faces and pointing to her own nails. So I had no choice but to give her a quick mani or else there would be no peace during my own. (more…)

Kestrel Cosmetic Bags: A Luxe Look For Less
I love Kestrel Cosmetic Bags. I discovered them last fall at my local Nordstrom Rack store. There are a bunch of different styles and fabrics, but what I love the most is that they are very high quality at a very low price point. When I first saw them in store, I was instantly drawn to the display. The bargain shopper that I am, I immediately looked at the price tag and did a double take. I expected it to say something like $30, marked down from $50+. So imagine my shock when the price tag said $10. I quickly picked up another bag and checked that price tag to see if a mistake had been made.
Nope…no mistake. Although the design, fabrication and hardware are luxe, Kestrel bags only look like you broke the bank. So I did what any expert shopper would do: I loaded up my cart with variety of styles for holiday gift-giving. Every December, I run into the same problem – I have a ton of friends, co-workers and kids' teachers to thank, and I can only afford presents that cost about $10 each. But most gifts under $10 are utter crap and you'd rather give nothing at all than give someone a $10 piece of junk. Kestrel bags are the perfect solution to this Christmastime conundrum. (more…)

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor darkness of night shall keep the music from being played, as 15 high school bands from three states proved Saturday night.
Liberty High School played host to 14 bands from Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia at the 11th annual Marching Band Extravaganza in a steady downpour -- creating a muddy, slippery field for the musicians, flag bearers and baton twirlers.
All five Carroll County high schools participated in the tournament, though Liberty, as host, performed only in exhibition at the end.

Published at Sunday, January 14th, 2018 - 18:22:44 PM. Coffee Tables. By Chanelle Maillard.
Regardless of what your personality really is, or who you want to project, spending some time considering the 'presentation' of your coffee table, just as you would a display on a buffet or dresser could make a huge difference to your room. If you want to create a coffee table display, select pieces with a similar theme and group them together, then balance the display with an off centre vase of flowers, or bowl. If you prefer to keep your coffee table surface clear, look for a coffee table design that makes more of a statement, to add interest to the centre of the room, if you have a minimalist theme, create depth by contrasting shapes, a simple round vase on a square table for example.
If you consider it should be just within reach of the main seats, it is likely to consume a decent amount of floorspace, a general rule is, it should be up to two thirds of the sofa in length, and sit at roughly the same height as the seats (with variations achieving different looks, i.e. very low will create a modern, minimalist feel).

On June 25, 2009, in Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts the Supreme Court resolved that the Confrontation Clause proscription of testimonial hearsay requires that when a state presents a forensic lab report as evidence in a criminal trial it must make the analyst who prepared the report available for defense cross-examination. By granting certiorari in Briscoe, et al., v. Virginia (07-11191), the Court sets on its 2009 Term the question of whether the state can "avoid" this obligation "by providing ... the accused ... a right to call the analyst as his own witness" at trial.
In a 5 to 4 decision on June 25, 2009, the Supreme Court resolved a case that "involve[d] little more than the application of ... Crawford v. Washington, 541 U. S. 36." In Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts, 557 U.S. __, 129 S. Ct. 2527 (2009) (No. 07–591), the majority decided that the Sixth Amendment "does not permit the prosecution to prove its case via ex parte out-of-court affidavits." Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts, 557 U.S. __, 129 S. Ct. 2527 (2009). Four days later, the Court granted certiorari in a case presenting a next line of issues: can the state fulfill its obligation if it provides the defendant the right to call the analyst as the defendant's own witness? If the defendant chooses not to exercise this option of calling the analyst, does that relieve the state of the obligation to present the analyst for cross-examination?
State Proceedings In Briscoe, et al., v. Virginia
In Briscoe, the defendant was convicted on state distribution of cocaine charges. During his trial, a central issue concerned whether the substances the police seized from the defendant's apartment and a car were cocaine, and if so, how much? To meet its burden of proof of the cocaine distribution charge the prosecutor proffered two certificates prepared by a forensic analyst at Virginia's Department of Criminal Justice Services Forensic Division.
The certificate reported that the lab's tests showed that the seized substances had large quantities of cocaine (36.578 grams attributed to the defendant and 60.5 grams to the co-defendant). The defendants objected to introduction of the certificates as a violation of the Sixth Amendment Confrontation Clause, but the trial judge admitted the lab certificates. The defendants decided not to call the lab analyst as their own witness at trial regarding the substance the state claimed was cocaine. The court convicted the defendant.
In its review, the state appellate court consolidated Briscoe's case with a similar Appeal. The Virginia Supreme Court affirmed the conviction by a 4-3 vote in Magruder v. Commonwealth, 657 S.E.2d 113 (2008). The State Supreme Court found no error, even assuming that the lab certificates were testimonial. It found that the state statute that allowed the opponent of a lab report to call the lab analyst as the defendant's own witness satisfied the Sixth Amendment's Confrontation Clause:
"Because the procedure provided in [Va.] Code § 19.2-187 adequately protects a criminal defendant's rights under the Confrontation Clause and because the defendants in these appeals failed to utilize that procedure, we conclude that they waived the challenges under the Confrontation Clause to the admissibility of the certificates of analysis."Magruder v. Commonwealth, 657 S.E.2d 113 (2008) (footnote omitted).
The majority dismissed the defense contention that the statutory procedure improperly shifted the burden of producing evidence to the defense. It concluded that requiring a criminal defendant to call the forensic analyst in order to exercise his right to confront that witness was not impermissible under the Sixth Amendment.
Other Courts Split On Shifting The Lab Test Burden Requirement
Statutory schemes similar to that used by Virginia have been affirmed by other state high courts as in conformity with the Confrontation Clause. In the petition for certiorari, the petitioner cited a number of state analyses as supporting a finding that the accused has a right to subpoena the analyst who prepared a laboratory report. These cases construe the Confrontation Clause to allow the prosecution to introduce the report itself without presenting the analyst as a live trial witness, such as:
- North Dakota: State v. Campbell, 719 N.W.2d 374, 378 (N.D. 2006) (applying N.D.C.C. § 19-03.1-37 that "defendants may subpoena the report's author," and an indigent may subpoena a laboratory director or employee at no cost to himself: "Because neither [defendant] attempted to subpoena the forensic scientist as provided by statute, they have waived their ability to complain of a constitutional violation.")
- Tennessee: State v. Hughes, 713 S.W.2d 58, 62 (Tenn. 1986) (Under Tenn. C. § 55-10-410, "[T]he lab technician may be subpoenaed by the accused at the State's expense and called to the stand and cross examined as a hostile witness where the State does not elect to do so.")
- North Carolina: State v. Smith, 323 S.E.2d 316, 328 (N.C. 1984) (applying N.C.G.S. § 20-139.1 which provides that "the defendant is entitled to subpoena the analyst and examine him as an adverse witness, as on cross-examination"; "[f]ailure to summon the analyst results in a waiver of any right to examine the analyst and contest the findings")
A number of other states reject the shifting burden scheme, finding that it does not conform with the Confrontation Clause. Among those states that take this position are:
- Florida: State v. Belvin, 986 So. 2d 516 (Fl. 2008) (Even though Florida St. § 316.1934(5) gives a defendant the right to subpoena the breath test operator as an adverse witness at trial, it does not adequately preserve the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to confrontation, particularly because the burden of proof lies with the state, not the defendant.)
- District of Columbia: Thomas v. United States, 914 A.2d 1 (D.C. 2006) (Lab report was testimonial, and the Confrontation Clause was violated; noting that D.C. Code § 48-905.06 provides that the defendant can supboena the chemist for examination but that the Sixth Amendment Confrontation Clause imposes the burden of production on the prosecution and not on the defense; if the accused was forced to call adverse witnesses, then "[u]ltimately the effect could be to blur the presumption of innocence and the principle that the burden of proof on the prosecution 'never shifts throughout the trial." )
- Oregon: State v. Birchfield, 157 P.3d 216, 220 (Or. 2007) ("The right to meet an opposing witness face to face cannot be transformed into a duty to procure that opposing witness for trial. It is the state that seeks to adduce the evidence as to which the criminalist will testify. The defendant has a constitutional right to confront the proponent of that evidence, the criminalist. The legislature may require the defendant to assert that right or to design a procedure to determine whether the defendant agrees that a written report will suffice. But, to require that a defendant do more changes the right to insist that the state present evidence the 'old-fashioned way' into an obligation to procure a witness for the state.")
Federal Courts & The Shifting Burden
In the federal courts, the process of requiring the government to present the witness and that the witness be subject to cross-examination is the model underlying the rules of criminal procedure. In review of petitions for habeas corpus after a conviction in state court, however, at least two circuits have rejected state schemes of shifting the burden of producing the hearsay declarant to the defendant:
- Eighth Circuit: Schaal v. Gammon, 233 F.3d 1103, 1106-07 (8th Cir. 2000) (In review of district grant of habeas petition in case in which "[t]he State never called the child to testify on direct examination and Schaal, a defendant in a criminal case, cannot be expected to bear the burden of taking affirmative action to make the State's use of the videotape constitutional. . . . We agree with the District Court that this type of burden-shifting is impermissible and not sufficient to satisfy the Confrontation Clause.)
- Fifth Circuit: Lowery v. Collins, 996 F.2d 770, 771-72 (5th Cir. 1993) ("[T]he Sixth Amendment is complied with when the prosecution calls the witness first, and then the defendant, for tactical or other reasons, voluntarily limits or chooses to forego cross-examination. The first step – the prosecution's initial call for the witness to testify – is crucial to the instant inquiry. Only when that is done does the failure of the defense to cross-examine the witness constitute a waiver.")
Petition For Certiorari
With certiorari now granted, the petitions regarding the appropriateness of review may seem a curiosity. Moreover, the grant of certiorari in Briscoe is curious in light of dicta found in Melendez-Diaz. There, the Court specifically explained:
"Respondent asserts that we should find no Confrontation Clause violation in this case because petitioner had the ability to subpoena the analysts. But that power-whether pursuant to state law or the Compulsory Process Clause-is no substitute for the right of confrontation. Unlike the Confrontation Clause, those provisions are of no use to the defendant when the witness is unavailable or simply refuses to appear. Converting the prosecution's duty under the Confrontation Clause into the defendant's privilege under state law or the Compulsory Process Clause shifts the consequences of adverse-witness no-shows from the State to the accused. More fundamentally, the Confrontation Clause imposes a burden on the prosecution to present its witnesses, not on the defendant to bring those adverse witnesses into court. Its value to the defendant is not replaced by a system in which the prosecution presents its evidence via ex parte affidavits and waits for the defendant to subpoena the affiants if he chooses."Melendez-Diaz, 557 U. S. at __ (citation omitted). This almost seems to answer the question asked in Briscoe v. Virginia – yet the Court took the case for review. The briefs addressing certiorari review focused on prudential concerns:
- The Petition: The petitioner argues that there was a conflict among the courts on the question of whether the state could shift the burden to the defendant of calling the lab technician who prepared a certificate. The petitioner presented this question as "a broad[ ] one of immense significance." "Whether a prosecutor may introduce an out-of-court testimonial statement while shifting to the accused the burden of presenting the maker of the statement as a live witness at trial," would stand the Confrontation Clause on its head, the petitioner suggested. In addition, the petitioner's analysis identified various procedural and strategic problems with a shift-burden scheme in terms of the presentation of the defense at trial.
- Opposition To The Petition: In response, the state argued that certiorari was unwarranted until the Court had determined Melendez-Diaz. In any event, "requiring a defendant to provide notice that he wishes to have the analyst present for cross-examination, like the statutes requiring notice of an alibi or notice of the intent to explore the sexual history of the victim, is a constitutionally permissible measure," the respondent assured the court. "The right of an accused to confront and cross-examine is not absolute and may, in appropriate cases, bow to accommodate other legitimate interests in the criminal trial process." Thus, the state envisioned that review of the Virginia statute was unwarranted because the challenged procedure was a permissible and long-validated regulation of a defendant's right to reasonably exercise his constitutional rights.
The 2010 Term And The Confrontation Clause
In deciding Crawford in 2004, the Court expressly left "for another day any effort to spell out a comprehensive definition of 'testimonial'," even recognizing that "our refusal to articulate a comprehensive definition in this case will cause interim uncertainty." 541 U.S. at 68 n.10. The court suggested in Melendez-Diaz that its task in that case involved less filling out the definition of "testimonial" than it involved in that case a straight forward application of the Crawford doctrine. In taking Briscoe v. Virginia for its 2009 Term, the Court leaves for summer recess. But it also leaves observers in fits of speculation about what more could possibly be ahead in reshaping the Confrontation Clause.More information on Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts is available on the Melendez-Diaz Resource Page.

Legal Control leads Meyerhoff revival
Even an eight-time breeder of the year can go through a lull. Robert E. Meyerhoff, the dominant breeder in Maryland for much of the 1990's, has won numerous races over the past few years, but he has not had a major runner since Grade 1 Pimlico Special winner Include retired in 2002.
Following the efforts of Meyerhoff's horses during the last week of December, however, watch out in 2005.
Reunited with longtime trainer Dickie Small after a two-year hiatus, Meyerhoff got his first stakes win of 2004 when Perilous Night, a 3-year-old filly, captured the Squan Song Stakes at Pimlico on Dec. 26. Four days later, Take a Check, a 2-year-old filly, finished second as the odds-on favorite to Dixie Talking in Pimlico's Maryland Juvenile Filly Championship Stakes. Meyerhoff's biggest score came on the final day of the year, when Legal Control scored a commanding victory in the $100,000 Maryland Juvenile Championship Stakes.
Small, who conditioned such Meyerhoff luminaries as Grade 1-winning multi-millionaires Broad Brush and Concern, said he thought he had a talented sprinter on his hands when Legal Control was getting close to the races in July. A son of Thunder Gulch, Legal Control hit the board in his first three starts, at 5 1/2 and six furlongs. But he shined at his first trip over a mile, winning by 2 1/2 lengths on a sloppy track at Pimlico. Thirteen days later, he won in allowance company, besting his earlier 1 1/16-mile time by more than a second.
For bettors looking at the Juvenile Championship, the step up to stakes company seemed somewhat ambitious for Legal Control, who was sent off at nearly 8-1. Garnering more support were Rollicking Stakes winner Monster Chaser, the undefeated Seize, and recent New York maiden special weight winner Prideland, who was the even-money favorite. Lisaized, who finished nearly six lengths behind Take a Check when third in the Heavenly Cause Stakes, went off at odds of 9-1.
Small said he had confidence in Legal Control going into Juvenile Championship, which is the richest race for 2-year-old Maryland-breds. And Small knows this Meyerhoff-bred line well - he trained Legal Control's half-sister Hair Spray to win or place in 12 of 13 races, with the Grade 3 Safely Kept Stakes among her three stakes wins.
Following the 2 1/2-length Juvenile Championship score, Small has a number of options for Legal Control, but said he will make his decisions while Legal Control trains over the winter in Camden, S.C. Legal Control's dam, Miss Legality, won the Grade 2 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes, so could the Preakness - a prize that has eluded Meyerhoff - be in the future?
Legal Control has done everything right, says Small, but he points out, "The horse takes you, you don't take the horse."
Meadow Monster stock rising
While the Maryland Juvenile Championship often lives up to its billing, this year's result won't keep Declan's Moon from being named top Maryland-bred 2-year-old. The results did, however, determine the title of top Maryland juvenile sire, which Meadow Monster won over Allen's Prospect after Meadow Monster's son Monster Chaser earned $20,000 for finishing second. The final tally gave Meadow Monster $423,620 in juvenile progeny earnings for the year, less than $10,000 more than the total for Allen's Prospect. Meadow Monster also led Maryland sires by number of 2-year-old winners, with 13 from 26 starters; Allen's Prospect had 11 from 40 starters.
After standing three seasons in Florida, where he received limited support, Meadow Monster moved to Green Willow for the 2001 breeding season. A graded-stakes-winning sprinter who missed winning the
De Francis Memorial Dash by a nose, Meadow Monster has the look of a sprinter, according to Carolyn Green of Green Willow.
"He has a great hip and tremendous shoulder," she said.
Green also says that Meadow Monster has a wonderful disposition, which he passes along to his foals. "He has a beautiful head and is extremely intelligent," Green said. "He's great to work with."
Meadow Monster has proven highly popular in Maryland, covering 100 mares in each of his first two seasons at Green Willow. He was Maryland's leading freshman sire of 2001, when the first of his Florida crop foals reached the races, but 2004 could be considered his breakout year, with his first Maryland-sired crop.
"We did the right thing by bringing him here," said Green. "He's always moved up his mares. He's getting runners."
