Indonesians Muhammad Rian Adrianto-Rosyita Eka Putri Sari on their way to beating Thailand's Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Puttita Supajirakul 21-19, 21-19 in the World Junior Championships mixed team event.
ALOR SETAR: Rosyita Eka Putri Sari was the driving force behind Indonesia's stellar performance as they checked into the final of the World Junior Championships mixed team event.
Indonesia, runners-up to South Korea last year, went 2-0 up before Thailand fought back to level the score at 2-2. Rosyita, who delivered the vital first point, then gave Indonesia the winning point as well for a 3-2 triumph at the Sultan Abdul Halim Stadium here on Thursday.
"If you ask me what is the key to our success, I don't have to think twice – it's Rosyita. She has been instrumental throughout the competition and, today, she showed what she's worth by getting us into the final," said Indonesian coach Bambang Suprianto.
"Our target was to get to the semi-finals. Now, we've gone one step better. It's probably one our best performances in this meet."
Indonesia will meet eight-time champions China in Friday's final.
China beat Japan 3-2 in the other semi-final.
"It won't be easy facing China in the final. Their only weakness is in the boys' singles. They're very strong in other departments, so it won't be easy. But we're in the final and we'll put our strongest team out tomorrow," said Bambang.
Indonesia took an early 2-0 lead as Muhammad Rian Adrianto-Rosyita despatched Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Puttita Supajirakul 21-19, 21-19 before Anthony Sinisuka Ginting downed Kantaphon Wangcharoen 21-11, 21-7 in the boys' singles.
Thailand bounced back through Busanan Ongbumrungpan and the boys' doubles pair of Dechapol-Ketlen Kittinupong.
Busanan, ranked second in the junior, disposed of 16-year-old Ruselli Hartawan 21-16, 21-13 while Dechapol-Ketlen gave Thailand a lifeline by beating Clinton Hendrik-Rian 21-18, 21-11 in 29 minutes.
It fell on the shoulders of Rosyita and her partner Aprianti Rahayu to bring it home for Indonesia and they did just that, with a thumping 21-9, 21-13 win over Busanan and Puttita.

Villa Bellagio Vitry - Le CarminLatest booking: 2 hours ago There are 2 people looking at this condo hotel.
Bed was hard , no tea / coffee in room . Only had one small towel and "continental" wasn't continental.
silence in the room, although situated on a busy street, underground parking
clogged sink, broken toilet, stained carpeting
The elevator worked ok
breakfast, cleanliness, the lights were popping out of their sockets. The entire hotel stunk of cigarette smoke, breakfast was gross, except grapefruit juice. Id really recomend staying somewhere different, and in a bit less of a ghetto area than Vitry
near bus station (in front of the hotel) 10 minute to the near metro station (by bus) a very big & nice terrace (last floor) panoramic view from the terrace next to a little store (for food & beverages) towells - changed every day (and were very clean) the pillows and sheets - very clean kitchen - well equiped - everything works
the room needs a new painting and a new furniture (chairs and table) - was old, with stains and broken one receptionist was not very helpfull they speek only french (few words in english)
free parking
room got a bit too warm
Every thing
It was convenient enough, close to some useful places, and the staff were fairly helpful and polite, even if they didn't actually sort out my issues.
The room smelled very strongly of cigarettes, which was pretty awful, and the "balcony" was full of cigarette butts and a discarded soiled vest, which was then joined by two pizza boxes and some decomposing pizza which hit my window the first morning. There were random stains on the floor and walls, which were a little worrying. It seemed that it was impossible to relax, with random people shouting in various languages out of windows at all hours. The stove and fridge/freezer, though present, were not fit for purpose. The stove couldn't do anything between 'too hot' and 'stone cold', so cooking was pretty impossible, and the lack of cooking equipment or crockery was a serious problem. The fridge froze the few foods I had bought, rendering them inedible. The shower, though always hot enough, had a broken fixing, and so I had to hold it in my hand to wash myself. Many of the lights in the room didn't work, and strange noises came from various parts of the room almost constantly. The location was pretty awful, being so close to the main road meant deafening traffic and nearly all hours. The area was pretty awful two, with lots of graffiti, dilapidated areas, and litter. The buses don't run very often at some times of day, so you have to plan your journeys well, which is difficult for any international visitors. Overall, I was very glad to see the back of it. None of my concerns were addressed, despite my speaking with the staff.
good value for money. Rooms with kitchen appliances such as ceramic hob, bowls, cutlery, plates etc,
location - 10 minutes walking to the nearest metro station and then 30 min underground to the city
Door lock faulty No wifi Cooker nit working
The hotel, the staff and the surroundings are pretty good, even though its not near by any metro stations, there is good connectivity with metro by bus
The WiFi was very slow/unusable all the time, If you are coming during summer beware there is air conditioning in the room.
Staff quite helpfull
Magnetic door didn't work. The reception had to open our door every time. Light bulb didn't work. Only 1 light in the room.
Not much. There was parking, though the parking lots and stairwell were filthy and smelly. The bed was made.
The pictures were not at all realisitc. Very enhanced.The drains were blocked and black scum was floating up from them. The shower was broken and the hot water only worked once. It smelt of stale cigarette smoke. Most light bulbs didnt work. The floor, walls were filthy. The beds sagged in the middle so my husband and I rolled into each other all night. I guess you get what you pay for but the pictures were very misleading.
This is a very dirty hotel and very small rooms
extremely uncomfortable...
My sister and I thought that the staff was really friendly and accommodating. The commute was also pretty quick. However, it was about a 15 minute walk to the nearest train station.
We thought that the hotel room was dirty. There were stains on the carpet and the room smelled like old smoke.
Overall, the hotel was nice and well-situated. The staff were friendly and the room was comfortable.
The door card didn't work and one of the staff had to come with me to open the door.
Close to work
No a/c No room cleaning Shower didn't drain No screens on windows
One staff Abdel was really helpful with the guests. He speaks good English too.
There was no air conditioning in the room so it was hot in the evenings I stayed there (May 2014). The supervisor was not friendly and a little rude.
the ime im was check out one of they staff just tell me for come back to my room take the rabish and put and the cave . what im pay for ??
The building receptionist and parking facilities
No wifi available no compensation agreed
Everything is bad, include this hotel has massive smoke in everywhere.... If you are allergi on smoke would advise not book this hotel. Otherwise its poor quality and its new with fastest damaged.
The staff on the reception partially don't speak english.
The from was discussing. I have photo-evidence of the stains, fluids etc. on the carpets. Plus the room smelled like drains.
If you use Orly airport, or go by car, the hotel location is good. There are many supermarkets, grocery stores and restaurants around the hotel. You can get lots of buses(180, 172) just in front of the hotel to subway station(No.7), and #7 subway line is going though near Louvre, Opera, Effel tower and so on. Neighborhood is quiet and Vitry-sur-seine is a beautiful saburb.
Only one thing: Room smelled smoking. If coffee maker was available in the room, it would be much better.
According to the hotel Management the room are not cleaned if you stay several days. That means the bathroom and toilets are never washed during your stay . The room has no maintenance (used or broken furniture, dirty carpet, etc.) I found a remaining food in the fridge. I will never come again in this hotel.

Best of This Season's Plus Size Collections
This fall, the best plus-size labels have really stepped up their game. What I want from the latest lines:
LOVE this skirt: so wearable. It's practically a neutral, but you can draw out one of the colors.
A simple shift in a great print. Throw on tights and a turtleneck underneath, and you're ready for winter. Or wear it as-is this fall.
Printed trousers are HUGE this fall, but some of them are a little busy for my taste. These are fun and flattering.
I just LOVE this. It's so incredibly flattering, and will work on a number of different body types. I especially dig the red shoes, but since the navy is a neutral, you could try almost anything! Hmm, like a leopard print....
Here's an on-trend dress that works for the office or for a night out. Watch the proportions. With the peplum that high, it'll have to sit right at your waist to look good.
Cobalt? Huge this season. Lace? Ditto. This is a bold color combination, but it's tremendous. And the skirt is awesome. Remember to tailor. This length won't work on everyone.
Here's a FANTASTIC way to do a peplum this fall. It's less flouncy than most, so it won't add bulk, and you can add a turtleneck underneath for extra warmth in the cold months.
The seaming and shape of this dress is just gorgeous, and SO flattering.
Looking for some seriously fantastic underpinnings? Here you go.
Very cool! Be sure to check where the hook-and-eye hits you. It'll be most flattering at your narrowest spot.

Getting ready to mash-in a Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye clone myself. I love the smell of rye malt, and couldn't ask for a more beautiful day here in the usually rainy northwest.
I did a Maple Brown Ale yesterday. The sap all ran a couple weeks back and I got gifted a couple gallons of the stuff. Soon berries will be in season and then its time for some nice wheats.
I'll be trying my hand at my second AG with BierMuncher's Blue Balls Belgian Wit.
When I get my hops in I'm going to brew a Kolsch.
I'm making a pale ale using all DME for the first time. It's also the first beer where I actually designed the recipe myself. Bought a brand new immersion chiller today as well.
Make Beer, Not War.
Since I brewed a czech Pilsner last week I think I'll brew a vienna or an alt. Maybe an IPA, but I think I'll go with a vienna or alt like beer Sunday.
Though my plan to add a sight utbe to my boil keggle was scuttled so I have to do that first. I was changing a connector on the air compressor and noticed that there was a crack in the manifold. Those small compressors all seem to use a cheap cast one pice manifold/regulator. So I either plug off one end with epoxy or buy a regulater and manifold and rebuild it all.
Hmm.. I think I need a beer..
I may not be an expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express........ 6 months ago.http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/denn...9/#post1766281http://groups.homebrewtalk.com/Tapro...ook_Repository
I put an Arrogant Bastard clone into the keg, transferred my blackberry Melomel to the secondary (15%, damn), and brewed 10 gallons of porter.
I've been needing to do this sh!t for a while.
Desert Planet Brewing Co.
Primary :Bloody Nose Porter
Primary 2: Bloody Nose Porter
Secondary: Blackberry Melomel
Secondary 2:air
Bottled : 14 Pound Hammer Cider, Punkin Ale, know ale, Domino wheat

US Forest Service promotes summer fun at ski areas
Three Vermont ski areas at least partially located in the Green Mountain National Forest could expand their summer recreational activities by taking part in a new national program designed to promote year-round recreation activities on the federal land.
The Eastern Region winter sports program manager says Vermont's Bromley, Mount Snow and Sugarbush are eligible to participate as well as four alpine and two Nordic resorts in New Hampshire.
Bromley's Michael van Eyck says much of the Peru resort is on private land, but they are grateful for the opportunity to do more on National Forest land in the future.
The Vermont and New Hampshire resorts are among 122 ski areas across the country on almost 180,000 acres of National Forest land.

Yesterday Alex and I got to take our first look at the Junior Women's race course. Our 4.3km course begins in Montana Village and meets up with all the other courses after about 1 km. We were pleasantly surprised that our start is on a nice downhill cinder path. However, the downhill doesn't last long and we soon begin to climb upwards. When we reached the half way point on our course we stopped to stretch and agreed that the course didn't seem too difficult yet. Then we ran the second half. With about a mile to go the course More >

Today it is raining. Even with the rain it is lovely and calm. There was a slight fog and mist over the vineyards which flank all parts of the mountainside. The region is best known for its pinot noir wines and after Sunday, the World Trophy. We had our first team meeting last night before dinner. Everyone attended and related their years on their team, their hometown and also the first rock concert they attended, or a little known fact. It was enlightening with rock concerts from Ozzy Osborne to Arlo Guthrie and little known facts to include missing a More >
World Mountain Running Trophy – Friday
Sep 12th
This afternoon I ran the 8.33k course with the junior Mens team. Starting in the narrow streets of Venthone at 840m above sea level, the course ran along paved roads, gravel roads, single track trail, grass fields on the way to the finish in the town center of Crans-Montana at 1500m above sea level. Only one of the 4 junior men have run in a World Championship – all agreed that a conserative start would be wise as there are plenty of passing opportunities in the 2nd half of the race. Many first time juniors tend to start too quickly More >

Received this in email from Team Manager Nancy Hobbs…
Greetings,I have arrived in Sierre, the start point for Sunday`"s 24th annual World Mountain Trophy Race. The weather here is lovely. No wind the past two days, sunny skies and a bit humid. I took a great run this morning near the Rhone as we are in the Rhone Valley. To get to the river, I had to run about 15 minutes from my hotel. I ran on some trails once I got to the river and passed between some vineyards which are all over the valley, and also an apple orchard. More >

I arrived yesterday in Crans-Montana, Switzerland for the 24th World Mountain Running Championship. The rest of Team USA arrived today; the first official day of the event. We picked up our credentials, race packets and previewed the course. I ran the senior men's course – 11.7k and 1046m of ascent – with team members Zac Freudenberg, Matt Byrne and Eric"quadzilla" Blake. It's a great course that starts in Sierre, climbs up thru vinyards, forests and small villages on the way to the finish on Crans. Of particular interest here is the "funicular", a very steep cable railway that climbs 3000 More >

I'm on the train and the net connection is a bit flaky so I'll be brief. Has anyone seen or used Lightworks before?
It looks pretty impressive even if it is in beta still (although not for much longer I think), but I can't take a better look until later on. So if anyone wants to install it and have a quick go please let us know what you think!

"Chemistry of Cooking" with Shirley Corriher set for Oct. 4
Wednesday, September 22, 2010
presented by the Norman M. Hulings, Jr., Memorial Lecture Series
Best-selling author and TV personality Shirley O. Corriher will discuss "The Chemistry of Cooking" at 7 p.m. on Monday, October 4, in the Allen Chapman Activity Center Great Hall on campus.
The event is part of the College of Engineering and Natural Sciences' Norman M. Hulings, Jr., Memorial Lecture Series. The presentation is free and open to the public. Corriher is probably most widely recognized as the "mad scientist" from the Good Eats TV show with Food Network star Alton Brown. She has built a successful career around her dedication to discovering and then explaining how chemical reactions in the kitchen affect the food we eat. For more than 40 years, she has solved food dilemmas for home cooks, editors and writers, and large companies such as Pillsbury and Procter & Gamble. Making use of her chemistry degree, she entertains audiences while she helps them understand the science of cooking, acting out everything from proteins to starch to emulsions. Corriher's book CookWise won an award in 1997 from the James Beard Foundation, which honors the best and brightest talent in the food and beverage industry; her new book BakeWise won a James Beard Award in 2009. Also in 2009, she was honored by Les Dames d'Escoffier – an international society of female leaders in food, fine beverage, and hospitality – being named Grande Dame, a title given to Julia Child and other famous women of the food world. After her presentation at TU, Corriher will sign copies of her books, which will be on sale before the event at the campus bookstore in the activity center. The Norman M. Hulings, Jr., Memorial Lecture Series brings to TU prominent speakers who are recognized authorities in engineering or science. The lecture program is named in honor of Hulings, who was a longtime executive with ONEOK and Oklahoma Natural Gas Co. He earned a petroleum engineering degree from TU in 1949 and then joined Oklahoma Natural Gas, which later was renamed ONEOK. Hulings advanced through the company's leadership, where he ultimately served as president of ONEOK Energy at the time of his 1986 retirement. In 1979, he was inducted into the College of Engineering and Natural Sciences Hall of Fame at TU.
For disability accommodations at the lecture, please contact Dr. Jane Corso at (918) 631-2315.

Much has, and will be, written about the two cases currently pending before the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) that involve challenges to laws either prohibiting, or not legally recognizing, same-sex marriages—Windsor v. United States (Windsor) and Hollingsworth, et al. v. Perry, et al. (Perry).1 With oral arguments for both cases held in March and decisions anticipated in mid-to-late June, the era of separate planning for same-sex married couples may be coming to an end. Although not highly publicized, a group with a heightened interest in the outcome of these cases is comprised of professional fiduciaries who are administering trusts under which a beneficiary is (or may become) a same-sex spouse.
Two Cases
Windsor is an appeal from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which held that the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is unconstitutional. Many SCOTUS-watchers believe that Windsor will result in a five-to-four decision affirming the Second Circuit's decision.2 The effect of a SCOTUS affirmation will be that for all federal purposes, including tax matters, same-sex spouses will be recognized as "legal spouses," which will enable them to:
(1) receive spousal federal benefits (including social security survivorship benefits), (2) declare married filing jointly status for federal income tax purposes, and (3) take advantage of the estate and gift tax marital deductions.
By contrast, Perry is unique in that it relates to a particular state law issue—California's Proposition 8 referendum, passed by voters in 2008 to strike down legislation that approved same-sex marriages (Proposition 8). At the trial court level, the Northern District of California held that Proposition 8 was unconstitutional, both: (1) under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (because no compelling state interest justified denying same-sex couples the fundamental right to marry), and (2) as a violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment (because there was no rational basis for limiting the designation of "marriage" to opposite-sex couples).3 On appeal, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the lower court ruling, but did so in a non-expansive and limiting manner. The Ninth Circuit held that Proposition 8 was unconstitutional because California's voters had no legitimate reason to use their initiative power to target a minority group to revoke a right that such group possessed.4 In applying this logic, the Ninth Circuit was able to limit the scope of its ruling solely to the California Proposition 8 question; as a result, the Ninth Circuit's decision has no impact on the laws of any other state.
Potential Impact
SCOTUS' decision in Perry could drastically affect state law concerning same-sex marriage. As of the date of this article, only 10 jurisdictions—Connecticut, District of Columbia, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont and Washington—recognize same-sex marriages. Many of the remaining states not only don't recognize same-sex marriages, but also refuse to give effect to valid out-of-state same-sex marriages.5 Thus, the states seem to be polarized with respect to the acknowledgment or reciprocity of same-sex marriage—seemingly, states either embrace same-sex marriage or they completely refuse to acknowledge its existence.
The general thought is that by accepting certiorari on both cases, SCOTUS will issue a broad ruling with respect to both the federal and state DOMA questions, thereby globally resolving the constitutionality of all federal and state DOMA statutes and laws. However, a reversal of Perry in favor of the petitioners/proponents of Proposition 8 or an affirmation of the Ninth Circuit opinion with the same limitations, that is, application solely to California, will not only fail to resolve the state law quandary, but also will probably result in countless lawsuits within the various states. For example, a state with a DOMA statute can repeal such statute by legislative action; contrast this to states, such as Florida and Texas, with constitutional DOMA provisions, which would require a voter initiative to repeal. Such a ballot measure could lead to Perry-style lawsuits.
If SCOTUS doesn't deem all state DOMA laws to be unconstitutional, the trustees of trusts under which a beneficiary is (or will in the future become) a party to a same-sex marriage will continue to experience a number of complications and difficult decisions with respect to the manner in which such trusts are administered. The hypothetical fact pattern below and the scenarios that follow illustrate some of these issues.
A Hypothetical
Mallory, a Florida resident, is a widowed mother of three children, Sterling, Lana and Cyril, and enjoys a warm relationship with each child's spouse. Her revocable trust, which is governed under Florida law, provides that the trust residue is to be divided into equal shares for her children, with each share to be held in further trust for such child's lifetime (the child's trust). Each child's trust provides for such child's spouse. Lana lives in New York with her same-sex spouse, Pam, whom she married in 2011 after same-sex marriages became legal in New York. Plenty of correspondence exists indicating that Mallory overwhelmingly approved of Lana's marriage to Pam. Mallory dies in 2012.6
Five Scenarios
Based on the fact pattern above, here are five scenarios showing what could happen, depending on what the child's trust says and whether Lana and Pam have children. In all the scenarios, Ray, as trustee should seek confirmation of the conclusions with the applicable court.
Scenario 1: Trust remainder. Suppose that as to the disposition on a child's death, the child's trust provides:
Upon the death of the child of the grantor, if such child is survived by his or her spouse, the balance of such child's trust shall be held in further trust for such spouse ... or, if no such spouse survives such child, shall be divided into shares, per stirpes, for such child's descendants as survive such child, or, in default thereof, for the grantor's descendants as survive such child, and each share shall be held in further trust…
Lana unexpectedly dies in a car accident in 2013, leaving no children. Ray, the trustee of the child's trust for the benefit of Lana (Lana's trust), has administered the trust as a Florida trust. While it appears that Mallory intended that the balance of Lana's trust be held in further trust for Pam, it's unlikely that Ray would be able to do so because Florida law governs Lana's trust. Pursuant to Art. 1, Section 27 of the Florida Constitution and Fla. Stat. Section 741.212, same-sex marriages aren't recognized in Florida. While Pam is legally Lana's surviving spouse in New York, pursuant to constitutional and statutory law, Florida wouldn't recognize Pam as Lana's spouse.
As trustee, Ray would be committing a breach of trust if he were to hold the balance of Lana's trust in further trust for Pam. Rather, the likely result would be that since Lana has no surviving descendants, Ray would divide the balance of Lana's trust into shares for Sterling and Cyril and hold such shares in further trust. As a safeguard, Ray should ask the applicable Florida court for a determination of the beneficiaries pursuant to Fla. Stat. Section 736.0201(4)(e). The applicable court would likely determine that no share of Lana's trust could be created for Pam because Florida law wouldn't deem Pam to be a spouse.
Scenario 2: Limited power of appointment (POA). Assume the same facts as in Scenario 1, but the child's trust provides:
Upon the death of the child of the grantor, the principal shall pass in trust for one or more of the grantor's descendants and such child's spouse, in portions, equal or unequal, and subject to such lawful trusts, terms and conditions, as such child appoints by Will or by any other written instrument executed with the same formalities as a Will. Any principal not so appointed shall be divided into portions, per stirpes, for such child's then living descendants, or, in default thereof, for the grantor's then living descendants, and each portion shall be held in further trust…
Lana's will exercises the special POA granted to her in Lana's trust in favor of Pam. Although Pam is Lana's surviving spouse for all other aspects of Lana's estate, for the same reasons as discussed in Scenario 1, Pam is likely not Lana's spouse for purposes of Lana's trust because Pam isn't deemed to be a "spouse" under Florida law. Thus, the exercise of the POA in favor of Pam will likely fail.
Scenario 3: Discretionary distributions to spouse. The income and principal of the child's trust are distributable as follows:
The Trustees may pay so much of the income therefrom and such sums out of the principal thereof (even to the extent of the whole thereof) to grantor's child, the spouse of such child, and the descendants of such child, living from time to time, in equal or unequal amounts, and to any one or more of them to the exclusion of the others, as the Trustees deem necessary for a particular beneficiary's health, education, maintenance and support in his or her accustomed standard of living.
Assume that Lana is alive, but is incapacitated as a result of the car accident. Lana had been financially supporting Pam. With Lana unable to provide for Pam, Pam asks Ray for trust distributions for her support.
Under the same analysis as set forth in our first two scenarios, even though Pam is Lana's legal spouse in New York, Pam isn't a beneficiary of Lana's trust under Florida law because Pam isn't considered to be Lana's spouse.
Scenario 4: Who are the descendants? Assume that Lana and Pam have two children, Cheryl and Katya, born to Pam through artificial insemination. Lana hasn't adopted them. Are such children Lana's "descendants" for purposes of the provisions of Lana's trust contained in the three scenarios above?
As New York residents, pursuant to New York Dom. Rel. Section 24(1), Cheryl and Katya would be considered Lana's children, even though neither are Lana's biological children. This is because under New York law, children born to legally married parents are considered the legitimate children of both spouses.7
However, Florida law governs Lana's trust and wouldn't recognize the New York determination of Lana's parentage of Cheryl and Katya. Unfortunately, the only Florida laws regarding such situations involve the determination of parentage of the genetic parents for children born out of wedlock.8 Because Cheryl and Katya are genetically related to Pam and not Lana, absent an adoption by Lana, Florida law wouldn't consider Cheryl and Katya to be Lana's descendants.
Scenario 5: Spousal support obligations. Even without references to a same-sex spouse, discretionary provisions can still cause trouble for a trustee. Consider the following modification to the facts from Scenario 3:
The Trustees may pay so much of the income therefrom and such sums out of the principal thereof (even to the extent of the whole thereof) to grantor's child and the descendants of such child, living from time to time, in equal or unequal amounts, and to any one or more of them to the exclusion of the others, as the Trustees deem necessary for a particular beneficiary's health, education, maintenance and support in his or her accustomed standard of living, after considering such beneficiary's other resources.
The provision doesn't reference the child's spouse, but requires the trustee to "consider other resources." Under N.Y. Dom. Rel. Section 50, a wife's property is neither "subject to her husband's control or disposal nor liable for his debts." By negative inference, under N.Y. Dom. Rel. Section 50, a husband would be liable for the debts of his wife. The question is whether, and how, this applies in a same-sex marriage.
As previously cited, N.Y. Dom. Rel. Section 10-a(2) provides:
…[w]hen necessary to implement the rights and responsibilities of spouses under the law, all gender-specific language or terms shall be construed in a gender-neutral manner in all such sources of law.
Applying this statute to N.Y. Dom. Rel. Section 50, would this mean that neither woman in a same-sex marriage would be responsible for the debts of the other? To the contrary, would this have the effect of treating both women as responsible for the other's debts? The same questions could be asked of a male same-sex marriage.
Suppose that the answer to the above rhetorical questions is that both Lana and Pam are responsible for the other's debts and that Pam has sufficient funds, owns the house where she and Lana reside and pays for all of their household bills and expenditures. The question becomes whether Ray must take Pam's support obligations as to Lana into consideration when effecting a discretionary distribution to Lana. Since the trust is administered under Florida law, Lana wouldn't be considered Pam's spouse, and if there's no spousal relationship, it's questionable whether Ray can legally consider Pam's support obligations.
Changing the Results?
Note that it may be possible to circumvent these results by changing the governing law of Lana's trust. If either the applicable governing law of the trust or the trust language itself allows for the governing law to be changed, the trustee may consider a shift to a jurisdiction that recognizes same-sex marriage. Other factors, such as trustee qualification, federal and state income taxes and creditor's rights, should be weighed before such a move could occur. Further, to effect such a move, Ray may have to notify the other beneficiaries, who could object in the event that their interests in Lana's trust are impacted.
Court Guidance Needed
Absent a complete, across-the-board determination that all laws regarding the prohibition of same-sex marriage—both federal and state—are unconstitutional, fiduciaries administering trusts in states where such anti-recognition laws are effective must be cognizant of the issues facing trust beneficiaries who are parties to a same-sex marriage. Such concerns aren't limited to when the same-sex spouse is a potential current or remainder beneficiary, but include the determination of a discretionary distribution to the beneficiary subject to a support obligation. The safest course of action for any such fiduciary is to turn to the appropriate court for guidance. This way, the fiduciary has the security of following a judicial mandate should a beneficiary question or object to the fiduciary's actions.
1. Orders issued by the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) as 568 U.S., 12-307 and 12-144 (Dec. 7, 2012). For further procedural history for both cases and potential outcomes, see Frank S. Berall, "Same-Sex Marriage Update," LISI Estate Planning Newsletter #2031 (Nov. 26, 2012) (Berall, LISI #2031) and George D. Karibjanian, "Windsor v. United States: Precursor to a Potential Supreme Court DOMA Showdown," LISI Estate Planning Newsletter #2015 (Oct. 22, 2012).
2. For example, see Berall, LISI #2031.
3. Perry v. Schwarzenegger (referred to in the pertinent appellate opinion as "Perry IV"), 704 F. Supp.2d 921 (N.D. Cal. 2010).
4. Hollingsworth, et al. v. Perry, et al. 671 F.3d 1052 (9th Cir. Feb. 7, 2012); see also Berall, LISI #2031.
5. For example, see Florida Constitution Art. I, Section 27 and Fla. Stat. Section 741.212; Texas Constitution, Article 1, Section 32, Texas Fam. Title 1, Section 2.001 and Texas Fam., Title 1, Section 6.204; Ohio Revised Code
Section 3101.01(C).
6. Florida and New York were selected for this example given the polar views on the topic within the laws of each state, with New York acknowledging same-sex marriage and Florida, both statutorily and constitutionally, refusing to do so. The examples also work in other similar states, that is, for the state of residency of the beneficiary, any of the other 10 previously cited jurisdictions acknowledging same-sex marriage, and for the state of administration and governing law of the trust, any of the states that globally don't recognize same-sex marriage, such as Texas.
7. N.Y. Dom. Rel. Section 24(1) provides:
1. A child heretofore or hereafter born of parents who prior or subsequent to the birth of such child shall have entered into a civil or religious marriage, or shall have consummated a common-law marriage where such marriage is recognized as valid, in the manner authorized by the law of the place where such marriage takes place, is the legitimate child of both birth parents notwithstanding that such marriage is void or voidable or has been or shall hereafter be annulled or judicially declared void.
The application of this provision as to same-sex married individuals is created by N.Y. Dom. Rel. Section 10-a(2), which provides, in pertinent part:
2. No government treatment or legal status, effect, right, benefit, privilege, protection or responsibility relating to marriage, whether deriving from statute, administrative or court rule, public policy, common law or any other source of law, shall differ based on the parties to the marriage being or having been of the same sex rather than a different sex. When necessary to implement the rights and responsibilities of spouses under the law, all gender-specific language or terms shall be construed in a gender-neutral manner in all such sources of law.
N.Y. Dom. Rel. Section 10-a(2) causes N.Y. Dom. Rel. Section 24(1) to be interpreted as gender-neutral, thus legitimizing the children of a same-sex marriage as to both spouses.
8. See generally Fla. Stat. Section 742.10.

The Metroboard Electric Skateboard Story
Ilan Sabar, Creator of the Metroboard Electric Skateboard
The Metroboard Electric Skateboard story started back in 2003, when I saw someone ride by on what looked like a homemade electric skateboard. It was big and bulky with a wired speed control but my interest was piqued both as an engineer and as a skateboarder. I searched the internet to see what was already available on the market, and to my disappointment there were only a couple of companies selling electric skateboards at the time. The problem was that they were really expensive (over $1200). On top of that, they just didn't look at all like normal skateboards. They looked like monster trucks with oversized parts and big knobby tires. A quick look at the specs revealed that they were using heavy lead acid batteries which contributed to the weight of over 50 lbs! I couldn't imagine getting to my destination and lugging around a 50 lb skateboard.
After seeing what was out there on the market I decided to design and build my own electric skateboard. I really wanted to recreate the experience of cruising and carving on a nice high-quality skateboard with real skateboard parts. I knew that I'd have to cut the weight in half if it was going to be practical to use around town. So I set out to make an motorized skateboard that was as light and compact as possible. It had to be easy to pick up, carry, and store. In fact, my goal was that it would be able to fit in my small locker at the gym. I knew that if I could do all that, I'd have created more than just a toy, I'd have a pretty awesome transportation solution that would be a whole lot of fun to ride!
This was back in 2003 when I built my first prototype. It wasn't pretty but it sure turned a lot of heads as I rode from my apartment to the gym every day.
By the end of 2004 I had made a few design improvements and thought that I might really be onto something. I decided to quit my job as an engineer at Hewlett Packard and pursue my dream of building the best electric skateboard. It took me three very challenging years to design, source components, and figure out how to manufacture, but in 2007, the first Metroboard was sold! This original design was well reviewed, but of course it wasn't perfect. I continued making design modifications, listening carefully to customer feedback, and improving the design until every vulnerability had been addressed.
The Metroboard has come a long way since 2007. New developments in battery technology, brushless electric motors, and wireless controls have made it possible for us to produce one of the most reliable, high-performance motorized skateboards on the market today with a proven 7-year track record and the Best Electric Skateboard Reviews.
In 2012, I welcomed Alan Shibata to the design team. Alan is a very talented and experienced mechanical design engineer from HP and a great addition to the company. We enjoy working together to take the Metroboard Electric Skateboard to the next level!
And we don't stop at just delivering a stellar product. We think outstanding customer service is just as important. You can always reach me by email at email@example.com. I usually respond within the hour. You can also call me at 360-335-3211. I'm always happy to answer any questions you may have about the Metroboard.

More and more elementary, middle and high schools, as well as universities, are turning to digital textbooks — not just because an iPad or laptop lightens a backpack, but because of the benefits of multimedia content.
"Digital textbooks are all about variety," said Sue Spreckman, an instructional coach for District 34 schools in Glenview, who formerly spent 13 years as an elementary school teacher. "In addition to reading text, in a digital textbook, students can watch and analyze video clips and speeches, and view maps and photos, which helps them analyze all the media together and form opinions."
Roger Brown and Gaylon Emerzian, co-owners of Trillium Productions, an Evanston media production company, said there have been many research studies indicating digital textbooks improve student engagement and participation in the classroom, as well as test scores.
It's a motivating factor that has helped Brown and Emerzian, who in addition to being business partners are husband and wife, take Trillium to the leading edge of the digital publishing field.
"One of our strengths was always educational media," said Brown, who started Trillium Productions 29 years ago in the Evanston home where he lived at the time. "We took all the things we learned about school curricula and how schools buy media and we applied it in a new media form that makes education active and brings text to life with pictures and audio and interactive tools that make learning fun."
A Northwestern University graduate and former account executive for Gilbert Altschul Productions, Brown met wife Emerzian shortly after starting Trillium.
Emerzian, who holds a degree in film from Columbia College, is a veteran producer, who while working as an editor for WTTW, Chicago, won an Emmy award in 1981 for editing the documentary, "Rape: Who's There for the Victim?"
In 1996 she created Spatulatta.com, an interactive kids' cooking website that won multiple awards, including a James Beard Award. The website also led to a cookbook published by Scholastic in 2007.
"For 30 years, Roger and I have both been taking hard to understand subjects and breaking them down to make them easier for audiences to understand," Emerzian said. "The formats are all different, but they all involve our story telling skills."
"We've gone from film to video to digital media across multiple platforms that include websites, touch screen presentations, interactives and digital textbooks," said Brown.
Trillium produces television documentaries, museum media for clients such as Chicago History Museum, Illinois Holocaust Museum and Kohl Children's Museum, and educational media for organizations that include University of Chicago Hospitals, National Geographic and Discovery Education.
"They assisted us in creating engaging narratives around core high school science topics, as well as math topics for middle school and high school," said Courtney McGee, director of digital content for Discovery Education. "From expert interviews and location shooting to detailed yet accessible charts and graphics, Trillium makes things happen on time and on budget."
When asked why he named the company Trillium, Brown explained the Trillium is the state flower of Wisconsin and when he initially launched the company, he was producing a lot of nature and science films.
Also, both Brown and Emerzian enjoy flowers and nature, and often work in the garden of their Evanston home.
"No two days are ever the same," Brown said. "Certain days we work on our patio and others we are exploring and doing research. I love taking a dry concept and putting it together in a way that is so interesting that people say, 'Wow, I never knew that.'"

Quaint is perhaps the best adjective to describe Handley Cellars, a small family run operation south of Mendocino in the heart of the Anderson Valley. Located just up the road a piece from downtown Philo, Handley resides at the old Holmes Ranch, established in the valley in the late 1800s, and maintains many of the original buildings.
Milla Handley has been making wine since 1982 with the help of her family, and now produces a substantial 14,000 cases a year with fruit from their estate as well as other sources throughout the valley. Their portfolio is about 20 wines deep and includes sparkling and dessert wines.
This particular Pinot is made from the fruit of three different vineyards across Mendocino, Domenichelli in Potter Valley, Vidmar in the Yorkville Highlands, and the Handley Estate in Anderson Valley. Fermented in small lots in steel tanks, the wine was aged in French oak for 10 months before bottling.
Tasting Notes:
A very light garnet in color, this wine had a very unusual nose to it that brought in aromas of cinnamon, dates, oregano, and unsweetened cocoa. In the mouth it was subdued with a little raspberry fruit mixed with a whole lot of dried herbs and and bergamot, finishing with flavors of green wood, but not bitter.
Food Pairing:
I think this would go very well as a contrast wine, a wine designed to highlight the fruitier and sweeter flavors of a dish, rather than to complement the savory ones. For that reason I'd recommend a dish like roasted chicken thighs with squash, yams, and dried apricots. Alternatively, Handley recommends it as a good accompaniment to spicy asian dishes.
Overall Score: 8
How much?: $18
I got mine through Porthos but they appear to be out of it at the moment. You can still probably get it through the winery's site.

Renovated Budatín Castle tower opened in mid-JulyAround Slovakia
4 Aug 2014 Compiled by Zuzana Vilikovská Regional News
AFTER seven years, the renovated tower of the Budatín Castle, the only castle in the city of Žilina, opened to the public on July 13.
A new vista has been added, as well as steel beams and pavement. The €2.2 million project was mostly paid for by European Union funds.
"Part of the renovation was the roofing of the whole castle complex, access paths were built, underground utilities dug, and new toilets and baths," Ladislav Cimerák, head of the Považské Múzeum (Považie Regional Museum) in Žilina, which operates Budatín, told the SITA newswire.
"The tower itself offers visitors a unique view to all directions thanks to the lifted roof frame," Cimerák continued. "This vista has not been possible until now."
There are other benefits too.
"Apart from the view, visitors are attracted also to the exhibition of historical clocks, including the original clockwork from the period of last Csáky-family's renovation of the castle," historian Michal Jurecký said. "We also placed an exhibition showing the history of Žilina and the Budatín Castle into the tower. The so-called gallery includes paintings dating back to the 17th to 19th centuries."
Renovating the rest of the castle is a priority for the museum, but neither the museum, nor its operator, the Žilina Self-Governing Region, have the necessary €11 to €12 million. Cimerák believes, though, that thanks to the EU funds, the whole Budatín Castle could be completely renovated by 2018.
"If it went in this pace and if there are enough resources, we could manage it in three to four phases in four years," he said. "By having renovated the tower, we connected to several renovations which had been done in the complex in previous years.More from Regional News

Despite some headlines, a number of businesses are poised to hire. With unemployment as high as it is, there are many good people looking for work. The question is "What is the best process for hiring and what are the documents needed to complete the process?"
The employer expects the employee to be orderly, disciplined and professional. That is exactly what the employer needs to convey to candidates and, once hired, to all employees. While we are all human, the organization needs to display itself in the best way possible. The documents required are the following:
- Personnel Requisition Request-the document with which the hiring offer obtains formal approval (from the President or hiring authority) to begin the process of recruiting, selecting and then hiring the new person.
- Employment Application-the document the candidates use to provide the information needed for the employer to screen candidates. It is very important that employers require them to fill out applications, rather than just work from resumes. Resumes come in every conceivable format. The employer needs to be sure the information is available and in the format the employer is comfortable with using.
- Nondisclosure/Confidentiality Document-the document the employer uses to obtain the new hire's formal consent to hold the employer's information confidential. This becomes very valuable down the road if concerns are raised.
- Sexual Harassment Prevention Statement-the document the employer uses to obtain the new hire's formal agreement that he/ she will not engage in conduct that is sexually harassing. The employee acknowledges that he/she has read the policy, understands it and agrees to abide by it.
- Hire Letter-the formal letter acknowledging that the employer is hiring the candidate. It should contain the employee's title, his/her starting wage, whom he/she reports to, the starting date, when the benefit package kicks in, what is contained in the benefit package, what the employee's classification is (exempt or non-exempt), a statement that employment is "at will" and a welcome statement.
When the employee reports to work his/her first day should be fully planned so it is clear to the new hire that the employer is ready for him/her. The "on boarding" process should be smooth, the orientation planned and implemented smoothly.
