Autopsy scheduled on stricken runner
COSTA MESA – An autopsy is scheduled to be performed Tuesday on a Costa Mesa man who died after collapsing near the finish line of Sunday's Rock 'n' Roll Los Angeles half-marathon.
Charles Whitmore Riske, III – "Whit" to friends and loved ones – got married to his longtime girlfriend last year, Jill, who is seven-months pregnant.
Los Angeles County Coroner spokesman Ed Winter said investigators will begin trying to determine a cause of death Tuesday afternoon.
Riske, 37, founded Catalyst Development Partners Inc., an Irvine-based design firm that specializes in cost-effective energy installations for the commercial real estate industry.
Catalyst issued the following statement about his passing:
"We are extremely saddened by the loss of Charles Whitmore Riske, III this past Sunday.
"His passion to better the lives of those around him will continue to inspire us all. Whit was a man of deep integrity, conviction and optimism. From the moment he founded Catalyst, he rallied those within our company to make an impact that would go well beyond the conventional definition of success -- specifically, he sought to make the world a more sustainable place, and to help those less fortunate in the process.
"Of all the people in his life, he cherished most his wife Jill and his family. Our condolences go out to them and all those who were touched by his remarkable spirit.
"We look forward to carrying on his legacy."
Riske, who had been running for about two years and had completed marathons, was running with a cousin in Sunday's 13.1-mile race when he fell to the ground in the 600 block of West Olympic Boulevard at about 9:35 a.m. Sunday.
Paramedics performed CPR on Riske and rushed him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 10:10 a.m., authorities said.
Marathon deaths are rare, accounting for 0.8 deaths per 100,000 runners, according to a study.
Most relatively young runners like Riske die from undiagnosed heart conditions such as abnormal thickening of the walls of the heart or abnormalities in the coronary arteries – ailments that have no symptoms, doctors say.
More than 500,000 people complete marathons each year in the United States, and fewer than six people, on average, die per year from causes linked to running a marathon, studies show.
Riske grew up in Scottsdale, Ariz., and graduated from Northern Arizona University with a bachelor's degree in construction engineering. He served two years in the Army and moved to Orange County in 2000, a close friend said.
Memorial services are scheduled at Big Canyon Country Club, Newport Beach, on Saturday, Nov. 5 at 11 a.m.

Heavy snow and strong winds lashed portions of the Upper Midwest on Friday. A springtime blizzard dumped more than a foot of snow on central and northern communities in Minnesota. Visibility was reduced to zero in Duluth, Minnesota where the United States Postal Service canceled mail delivery. Blizzard conditions are expected to continue in northeastern Minnesota until Saturday morning. By Sunday the sun will return and temperatures will warm into the 40s. By early next week temperatures will reach the 50s and 60s creating the threat of severe flooding.
Portions of Upper Michigan received as much as 10 inches of snow by early Friday morning. The heavy snow is causing another round of cleanup efforts and taxing budgets in the area. Snowfall has been above normal throughout the region this year.

Contractors Talk 2015 Home Remodeling Trends
You can easily date tacky trends back to the decade they were popular, and that's not a good thing. While trends still occur, modern remodeling focuses on updating your home but keeps an eye toward the future.
If you're planning a home remodeling or improvement project in 2015 and want to avoid mistakes of the past, three highly rated remodelers divulge what's trending in home remodeling: Andy Lindus of Lindus Construction in Baldwin, Wisconsin; Mike Blank of MBC Remodeling in Millersville, Pennsylvania; and Jason Hampel of Moss Building & Design in Chantilly, Virginia.
What trends are you noticing right now in remodeling?
Blank: I'm seeing jobs are starting to get a little bit bigger again. People are spending more money, but they are still cautious. For a bathroom, for instance, usually I tell people a bathroom is going to run about $15,000. In the past few years, people have done everything they can do to stay in that range. Now, they're going into the $20,000 to $25,000 range.
Hampel: I think, in general, people are looking for good value in terms of use of space, use of budget, satisfying their needs. The way you get value in remodeling is consolidating space — stacking needs. The way you do that is [adding] a kitchen bump-out with a master suite above it.
The benefit to that, efficiency wise, is you have one foundation, one roof, but you have more living space.
Lindus: We're noticing a shift in the mentality of homeowners. They are now becoming more cognizant of having a home that functions properly, not just one that is aesthetically pleasing. We've seen an increased concern in how remodeling projects can make a home more marketable when they are placed for sale.
2015 Remodeling Trends
What's trending in kitchen renovations?
Blank: We're seeing a lot of the luxury vinyl tiles going in on floors — kitchen floors, bathroom floors — instead of ceramic. It almost looks like ceramic because you can grout it. It's warmer than ceramic. It's certainly a step up from sheet vinyl, but doesn't cost as much as ceramic. It gives a higher-end look without the higher-end price. I'm seeing people going away from stainless steel appliances. They find out how easily it shows fingerprints. I am also seeing a whole lot more painted cabinets.
Hampel: People often want too much to be cutting edge on this stuff. My advice to people is always to stay tried and true. Concrete countertops sound really cool, except when they break and stain. You just can't go wrong with things that have been proven to work.
Lindus: Clean lines in both cabinetry and light fixtures. We're seeing a lot of white trim and cabinets. With regard to tile, bigger is better in both kitchens and bathrooms. While granite countertops haven't gone away completely, we're seeing a trend towards high-end, maintenance-free countertops.
Popularity has increased for kitchen additions, like this one by Apple Wood Construction in Windham, New Hampshire. (Photo by Keith Tharp)
Any noticeable remodeling trends in the bathroom?
Blank: More tile. In the past, they might have stuck with a fiberglass shower instead of a tile shower. Now they have a tub and they want a walk-in shower, maybe a soaking tub.
Hampel: People are moving away from tubs to the larger showerheads. The showers have become more and more popular, but a lot of other things have gone away. You don't see a lot of body sprays. In terms of coloring and finishing, there's a move toward cooler grays, blues and white, green.
Lindus: Homeowners are requesting more elaborate and expensive bathrooms with oversized showers.
Two-thirds of designers favor soaking tubs without jets, according to an industry survey. (Photo by Summer Galyan)
Are people re-configuring the space in their home, or building new additions?
Blank: A lot of them [remodeling jobs] are to extend the kitchen. We've been doing a couple of garages or bathrooms. They want to extend to make a master suite, put a nicer bathroom in.
Hampel: More and more people are doing what are called keeping rooms, which are kind of small rooms off the kitchen where kids can have their toys, a study area; kind of a kids' living room that's near the kitchen. Another thing I'm seeing, people are diving into mudrooms, laundry rooms. The concept of universal design, which is really designing your house so it can accommodate you as you grow older. We do a lot of in-law suites instead of having two independent dwellings. I'm finding more and more people are putting a lot less space toward the bedroom area and instead putting that space for the closet and bathroom. People are trying to make better use of their closets. Closets are never big enough. We do a lot of adding on because the home values here are very high. We add a second level on top, add three or four bedrooms, a bathroom upstairs and reconfigure the downstairs. On a 1,000-square-foot home, adding a second story is going to cost between $200,000-$250,000.
Lindus: There's been a dramatic increase in the number of three- and four-season porches we are building.

basement trends

1. It's important that I find a good one
2. I'm not an expert enough to know myself who is a good one
3. The industry is full of advertisements and misinformation
4. I wish I knew what experiences other people have had
That's very difficult to answer without seeing the house. As one poster said, the prep is the most important part. On newer homes that don't have a lot of peeling paint, the prep can be very minimal even as low as a couple or a few hundred dollars for the prep labor.
On a 100 year old home with 12 coats of peeling paint on it, then the prep costs can be very high and can easily exceed 50% of the job's labor cost.
A 2100 sq ft two story home could easily cost $1000 just for the labor to prep for the paint job. That number could climb too. Throw in lots of caullking or window glazing, and you could be talking a couple or a few hundred dollars more for labor.
Painting that home with one coat of paint and a different color on the trim could run roughly $1000 or more just for labor. Add a second coat and that could cost close to another $1000 for labor.
For paint, you may need 20 gallons of paint. You can pay from $30-$70 for a gallon of good quality exterior paint. The manufacturer of the paint should be specified in any painting contract. Otherwise, the contractor could bid at a Sherwin-Williams $60 per gallon paint and then paint the house with $35 Valspar and pocket the difference. $25 dollars per gallon times 20 gallons? That's a pretty penny too.
That was the long answer to your question. The short answer is $2000 to $4000 and up, depending upon the amount of prep, the number of coats, the amount of trim, and the paint used.

These Lited Ice Cubes ($34) won't actually keep our drinks cold, but they will certainly make it look like we're drinking the coolest martinis at the party. Each light-up cube is fully submersible, which means - once you wash them - you can plop them into whatever beverage you choose, or really freak out your goldfish*.
*Now the office fish is making sad blorp faces, so we guess we have to point out that purposefully terrifying innocent fish is not nice.
These could be cool stacked in hurricane vases or something, but $34/dozen with non-replaceable batteries that only last 10-12 hours. Hrm.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

It has now been almost three decades since the beginning of the federal environmental misadventure, a period that saw the rise of the regulatory state and the erosion of privateproperty rights. During this time, federal statutes, regulations, and centralized control have systematically replaced a diverse mix of decentralized common-law rules, state statutes, and local ordinances, along with customs and traditions that previously protected property rights. With the federal takeover, the rule of law, which is based on protection of property rights, was replaced by the rule of politics, which respects few property-rights boundaries.
Fueled by a combination of environmental hysteria, political opportunism, and efforts by some industries to raise rivals' costs and block competitive entry, the environmental juggernaut first provoked outcries from firms and municipalities that bore heavy environmental costs. Speaking indirectly for their customers, auto companies, steel producers, and a host of other manufacturers called for special relief, and in some cases got it. Municipalities and state governments asked for federal money to pay for mandated improvements; the money valves were opened. Until recently, hardly anything was heard from ordinary Americans-the farmers, ranchers, homebuilders, countless operators of small businesses, and just plain citizens who head off to work each day. Diverse and unorganized, these citizens hardly understood why some major manufacturers were so upset about environmental regulation. After all, protecting the environment made good sense, especially when someone else seemed to be footing the bill.
But as the environmental steamroller made its mark, ordinary Americans were pulled into the fray. For many of them, the issue was a simple one: their property rights were being taken by regulation. It was happening in the name of wetlands protection, saving endangered-species habitat, preserving historic corridors, and enhancing national landmarks situated near their homes.
Across the nation, many people came to realize that they were bearing the cost of providing public benefits, and contrary to the Constitution, they were not being compensated when their property was taken for public use. The resulting public outcry spawned hundreds of grassroots property-rights organizations, and eventually generated a struggle nationwide to protect private property.
Significant parts of this struggle are recounted in three important books. Elizabeth Brubaker's Property Rights in Defence of Nature addresses the Canadian experience and emphasizes the important role played by traditional private-property rights in protecting environmental quality. Brubaker's book focuses on the common law. But much more than a primer on nuisance and trespass, this highly readable and heavily documented volume convincingly demonstrates the power of common law-the law of the people-to protect environmental rights. Replete with case-law vignettes, the book shows how air and water pollution was countered by common-law rules, how defense of property rights in trout held by fishing clubs overcame the polluting tendencies of cities and industries, and how, in many cases, common-law remedies were harsher and the rules stricter than those that came with statutes and regulation. …

The real deal here is lots of people trying to hold down the price. Interested in accumulating or covering. Whatever. the real deal is the PPS is GOING UP. The announcements of distribution deals CXM already has set up - the estimates of sales - all that stuff will cause the PPS to climb.
It can be manipulated without that, so hold on.
I usually say DYODD and beware of the risk because this is a biotech. The risk is behind us at this point and the Value is about to come home to roost.
Fellow enduring longs, enjoy the next few days...
Months after FDA approval and the pps is below $0.30.
Ive read so much crap on this board.
I have to agree with you there. This stock could end up under dime if they don't star posting some positive money. Wall street hates stocks like this that PUMP deals and give little if any real numbers to work with..
TD Alan
flawed analysis, but nice though.
second leg up
fully relaxed ,
Wake up me when at 20$
Think in months instead of weeks and please be realistic in terms of targets.
Most of us have waited this long to see Excellagen getting approved. Surely we can wait another few months to see the PPS climb. How high is anybodies guess but it won't stay below $1 that's for sure with what we know now.
Cheers to all longs for being patient and keeping the faith.
Looking for next July to be back on Russell with price at least $4-$5 and if Generx start movIng with good news then $8-$10.
We should get follow up news soon about partnership/distribution agreements, etc.
Stay Tuned, it's only the beggining.
congrats right back at you headnorth.Not going anywhere, generex is coming next year as well.
danz one of the founding fathers, lol, congrats to you .....
Oh I am Headnorth... methinks I'm taking off after lunch and celebrating. Waited a long time for this one.
I'm not sure I agree it will be 8$ by Christmas though; by my figures Cardium with take 20% +/- of the ulcerous wound care market in the 4th quarter 2011 here.
It won't be until April-May 2012 that cardium see's 8-10$ a share imo after publishing 4-Quarter 2011 results and 1st Quarter 2012 results - by which point Exellagen should be at minimum 40%+ of the diabetic ulcer treatment market.
By Christmas I crunch numbers and come up with 5-5.50 a share - pending no major run-ups, which with biotechs, always went to happen when drugs are approved by the FDA, Produced and Sold.
Beautiful, beautiful Monday today my fellow longs.
In 6 months Cardium will control 40 or more of a 150million dollar+ per year continual revenue stream.
75%+ in a year.
Cardium will be 12-15$ pps this time next year.
Proud to have stayed long and strong over 2 1/2 years with Cardium
Lot of wrong predictions.
I thought you had left. I guess you just got tired of the bashers.
I'm glad we held on. This is going to be great, long term.
The numbers I calculated were based on 100% market share, so I guess your timing is more reasonable.
The thing is, Regranex really isn't an alternative - besides the problems, it is said to not work nearly as well. So when this stuff hits the market, the market may be bigger than the current market for Regranex.
I really like the fact that CXM will now be able to fund the studies in Generx. That will make for a very wonderful expansion.
Just glad you hung on to enjoy this...
HeadNorth/Danz...Cheers! I gotta tell you two years ago from reading your DD and postings, I sold everything else I had and went all in to CXM...and have been holding since. Saluto tuto!

By-the-Book Ruling Overturns What Seems to Be Common Sense, Overshadows Kaymer
Was it bunk? Or not bunk?
Let's get this straight: Golf is pretty much on life support with the casual sports fan right now. Its brightest celebrity, Tiger Woods, is recovering from a life-tossing personal scandal and a moribund golf game. Outside of Phil Mickelson's emotional win at the Masters, it has been a snoozy year. A nice guy named Louis Oosthuizen won the British Open in a somnambulant cake walk. And do you even remember who won the U.S. Open? Eliot Spitzer! No: Jorge Posada. Wait, wait—Graeme McDowell!
But on Sunday in Wisconsin, the PGA Championship gives golf what it so desperately needs: a great finish. Not a marquee-name finish with the likes of Mr. Woods or Mr. Mickelson, but a triple-playoff with up-and-coming stars Bubba Watson, Martin Kaymer and Dustin Johnson.
Oh wait: Not you, Mr. Johnson. You're out.
In the latest example of what feels like an endless summer of instant-replay controversies in sports, PGA officials assessed Mr. Johnson a two-stroke penalty—knocking him out of the playoff—after ruling he grounded his club in a bunker in his second shot on the 18th hole, a clear violation of the rules.
But how clear? When then-leader Mr. Johnson ripped a nervy, wild drive off the 18th at Whistling Straits, it didn't look like it was heading into a bunker. It looked like it was heading for a Packer fan's noggin.
Mr. Johnson's drive sailed dangerously off course, landing in the thick crowd, where it was quickly encircled by enthusiastic ticket holders. Bunker? By then that section of grass and dirt was covered by footprints and grassy straw and hardly resembled a trap of any kind.
"It may have started the week as a bunker," CBS on-course analyst David Feherty said later while standing in the fateful patch of sand. "But it looks more like, I don't know—a manger?"
Mr. Johnson said he had no idea he was in a bunker, either. "It never once crossed my mind that I was in a sand trap," he told Mr. Feherty.
But it didn't matter. Touching a club to the ground in a trap is a golf no-no, and PGA overlords zapped a crestfallen Mr. Johnson from the championship. Rules-committee official Mark Wilson said players were warned before the tournament that all bunkers would be in play—even ones trampled by fans.
"I guess maybe I should have looked at the rule sheet a little harder," Mr. Johnson said.
We're all for enforcing the rules when the rules need enforcement, but is this type of rigidity what golf needs? Instead of a rollicking three-way finish, the 2010 PGA will be remembered for a cold-blooded, by-the-book decision—enforcing the rules of a bunker that nobody outside of a few officials knew was a bunker.
It's a pity for Mr. Kaymer, a 25-year-old German who wound up defeating Mr. Watson in a hard-fought playoff and would surely have rather also played Mr. Johnson instead of having his win clouded by a controversy he had nothing to do with.
Before Bunkergate, it really had been an epic day for Mr. Johnson and the Men in Skinny Pants. They've been infiltrating in golf for a few years now—svelte upstarts who wear form-fitting polos and plain-front pants, giving a body complex to a carby generation of squishy-waists in pleated khakis.
But early on Sunday, one of the Skinny Pants kingpins stumbled hard. Third-round leader Nick Watney imploded quickly, rifling a shot into Lake Michigan en route to a ghastly, day-ending triple bogey on the 7th.
That left the chase to Mr. Watney's fellow Skinny Pantsmen—Mr. Kaymer, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Watson and Rory McIlroy. Veteran Steve Elkington, 47, lurked in the background, like a Dad awkwardly swinging his hips in a nightclub.
What will be the legacy of this picky day at the PGA? Surely it will comfort those hard-liners who see golf as a civilized game of rules, which are not bent for anyone. Maybe the play controversy is good, since it will get people to talk about golf. Sports fans haven't talked much about golf this year, other than to groan about Mr. Woods.
But Mr. Johnson's penalty isn't like the mangled no-hitter in Detroit or the missed goal in the England-Germany World Cup game. In those two cases, the replay showed that the wrong call was made on the field. In this situation, common sense seemed to prevail on the course—and replay was used to reverse it.
"That is one of the biggest heartbreaks we've seen in a long time," said CBS's Jim Nantz.
Let's still add it to the 2010 ledger. Armando Galarraga threw a perfect game, Frank Lampard scored a goal and Dustin Johnson remains tied in a three-way playoff for the PGA Championship for all eternity.
Corrections & Amplifications
Dustin Johnson's tee shot on the 18th hole in Sunday's final round of the PGA Championship landed in a bunker surrounded by fans. An earlier version of this story incorrectly said the drive went out of bounds.

A quick bread made with brown sugar and white, eggs and oil, this super moist zucchini bread makes a wonderful addition to breakfast coffee or afternoon tea all summer long. When prepared in mini loaf loaf pans, it makes a nice gift as well. I have been making this recipe for years, an oldie but such a goodie, a hit with adults and children alike.
Although I picked up my 10th CSA today, I'm still playing catch-up in my documentation of produce deliveries. Here's week 4:
CSA Week 4, Summer 2007
1¼ pound bag of pea tendrils
1 head green butterhead lettuce
1 crown broccoli
2 small zucchini
1 bunch scallions
1 head green or red leaf lettuce
1 kohlrabi root
1 quart strawberries
Zucchini Bread
Yield: 1 large loaf or 3 mini loaves
a scant 2 cups (8 oz.) flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon (optional — I make it without these days)
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup light brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2½ cups grated zucchini
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Grease loaf pan or pans. Whisk together first five ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk remaining ingredients except zucchini. Add zucchini to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Add dry to wet and stir till until combined. Pour into pans. Bake until toothpick comes out clean, about 35 – 45 minutes for mini loaves, and 45 minutes to 1 hour for a standard loaf pan.

Greeting all,
I recently sold a vintage trek road bike to a heavy rider. The frame is a 52 cm wheels were true and had good tension before I sold it. Bike came back a few days later with the rear wheel completely out of true. It had not occurred to me that the rider maybe too heavy for the vintage wheels. wheels are 32 hole front and rear. Rider is probably 200 lbs ... frame size was right for him.
Is there anything I can do make sure the wheels stay true. Or should I just take the bike back and tell him unfortunately his is too heavy for the wheels and I can't say the wheels will stay true. Should I advise him to get a higher spoke count wheelset?

The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Husband is working on a large construction site here in SC, so I have been getting a huge supply of pallets. So far I have built a deck for the RV, a small table and now a chair. I didn't have a pattern so I just winged it from photos of other chairs. Now that I have the basics down I am going to add a little more style to the next one.
My first pallet chair
Forestine this is such a great idea,seen also where someone used the palletts for walkways,this is great uses for the palletts an recycling to,any other ideas u use would be nice to hear about,thanks for the info...
So far I have made tables, birdhouses, feeders, and some yard decor. Most of the wood are 2x4, 1x4, 1x6, and 1x8. Most of the wood is rough cut and not square. But it's like putting together a puzzle trying to get everything to match up.

With a remarkable range of cultural understanding and spiritual insight—from Salman Rushdie to soccer to sauerkraut—uncovers the mystical meaning of our everyday lives, through 26 chapters, A–Z, on such topics as awe, bodies, creativity and dreams.

Paradise is not some far-off distant time or place, nor is it beyond death. It is here and now, according to Howard Cooper—one of the most eloquent new voices in spirituality.
The Alphabet of Paradise contains twenty-six chapters, A-Z, on such topics as:
Awe • Bodies • Creativity • Dreams • Emotions • Food • Humor • Illness • Justice • Kabbalah • Love • Money
Throughout each, Cooper uses the ancient Jewish mystical interpretive technique of PaRDeS, examining:
• The Plain or literal meaning of the subject • Reminders, hints, or allusions that the subject evokes • Deeper spiritual meanings • And the Secret or mystical meanings that are sometimes present
Demonstrating a remarkable range of cultural understanding and spiritual insight—from Salman Rushdie to soccer to sauerkraut—The Alphabet of Paradise uncovers the mystical meaning of our everyday lives.
Praise for Howard Cooper's work
"This is an extraordinary book. Without resorting to conventional piety, dogmas or religious language, Howard Cooper has managed to write a spirituality for everyday life that resonates with the most profound mystical teachings of the major traditions."
—Karen Armstrong, author of Islam: A Short History and other books.
"An innovative look at contemporary culture, from dreams and food to sex and work. A new, fresh voice in the landscape of spirituality books."

Ok, I know there's a few of us out there with the Fantom Cross bikes, and I love mine, however I hate the kendas that came on it. I live in an area that is full of potholse and generally rougher terrain. I have been looking around and really like the look of the monstercross setups that some are running, but was curious as to what the widest tires that will fit on the fantom cross? I could do the trial and error setup, but that would be less than cost effective.
So how wide can you go?
Seems to be plenty of clearance.

WINTER IN THE SUN; R & R on Antigua
Published: October 26, 1997
(Page 2 of 3)
The scenery made concentrating on the road difficult. Antigua is 108 square miles, much of it uninhabited. Tall, volcanic mountains cascade down to sweeping valleys carpeted with pale green grass. Except for the occasional, heart-stopping glimpse of aqua-colored ocean, it's easy to forget you're on a Caribbean island. Antigua was once covered with sugar plantations, but when caning became unprofitable in the 19th century, most farms were converted to livestock. Today the countryside is dotted with the stone bases of windmills and cane towers.
Nelson's Dockyard, a 20-minute drive from our hotel, turned out to be well worth an off-campus visit. The world's only existing example of a Georgian naval dockyard, it was used as a careening station in the 18th and 19th centuries. Here, giant wheel-like capstans pulled over (or careened) ships by their masts, so that their bottoms could be cleaned and painted. Having a permanent repair station on Antigua enabled the English to retain a continuous maritime presence in the Caribbean.
Several original buildings in the Dockyard have been restored, including the Admiral's House and the Officer's Quarters Building, and many are still used. Sailboats still use English Harbour's repair and hospitality facilities, much as English galleys did two centuries ago. We spotted sloops from dozens of ports, including Hamilton, Annapolis, and even Anchorage, giving the dockyard a lively, slightly rakish atmosphere, a nice switch from the deadly seriousness that permeates most restored historical sites.
Next we headed for Pigeon Beach, a few minutes away at the end of a dirt road at the entrance to Falmouth Harbour. White sand, calm water, a view of the yachts moored in the harbor, and not another human being in sight. Our definition of heaven.
Earthly cares did intrude on the way back to our hotel, however, when our car was swallowed by a particularly voracious pothole along a desolate stretch of road, resulting in a flat tire. I hadn't even located the trunk-release latch when a young man appeared, seemingly out of thin air, introduced himself as Trini, and set about changing the tire with practiced efficiency. Five minutes and $10 later we were back on the road.
A fascinating and enjoyable day, but surely we'd earned the right to settle into the hotel and forget about the world outside its manicured borders. Then a couple we met by the pool told us about a restaurant in Antigua's capital, St. John's. The meal the night before at the hotel's Dockside Restaurant had been typical Caribbean resort fare: overambitious, overcooked and way overpriced. So back in the car it was.
WE'D left enough time before dinner for a quick exploration of the city's harbor, but were disappointed to find it primarily geared to the huge cruise ships that anchor there in season, with an abundance of duty-free shops. Our destination for dinner was Home, a small restaurant on an out-of-the-way street in St. John's. The dining room was simple but welcoming, and the food inviting. Fish cakes in a papaya sauce and a chicken and shrimp melange in a halved coconut were especially delicious.
The next day we remained at the St. James's, snorkeling and watching a pair of persistent pelicans plunge into the shallow water for fish, while an equally persistent pair of speed-walkers traipsed back and forth at water's edge. Windsurfers shot across the horizon. An aerobics class was being held in one of the hotel's three pools.
Afternoon tea was a big draw for the clientele, which included many British as well as Americans and other Europeans; the main pool patio became crowded with guests sipping tea and nibbling delicate sandwiches and butter cookies.
That night we had dinner at Piccolo Mondo, an Italian restaurant at the northern end of the St. James's Club. The setting, on a terrace overlooking Mamora Bay, was lovely, and the simpler fare, especially pasta dishes, were acceptable.
Having stayed put for 24 hours, we were feeling quite relaxed the next morning. But we'd been hearing about a spectacular beach, Half Moon Bay, about 30 minutes away. Antigua is reputed to have 365 beaches, one for every day of the year. So far we'd seen just three, counting the two on the hotel's grounds. Wanderlust sent us back to the car.
Half Moon Bay was a wide crescent of fine white sand and challenging but not dangerous Atlantic surf. Velvety, uninhabited mountains framed the bay. The Half Moon Bay Club, a hotel at the southern end of the beach, hasn't yet reopened since Hurricane Luis, but there's a snack bar that is open just off the road leading to the beach.
That night we attended the hotel's weekly beach barbecue. The Dockside Restaurant's tables had been dragged a few yards away onto the beach. The food, served buffet style, was very good, including a wide selection of salads, vegetables and grilled meat and fish.
The St. James's has a small casino off the main lobby where each night I unsuccessfully tried to win back the cost of our vacation. That night, feeling sated but impoverished from the beach barbecue, I bet my daughter's birthday at roulette and won twice in a row, at 34-to-one odds. Brimming with confidence, I switched to blackjack and promptly lost it all. But the dealers and croupiers at the St. James's were the friendliest I'd ever encountered at a casino, which helped. A little.

The Mississippi House is making another attempt to plug some holes in the current state budget.
The House passed a bill Thursday that proposes taking $79 million from financial reserves and putting it into several state programs, with the biggest chunk going to education.
The bill passed the Senate in a different form last month. The revised version returns to the Senate for more work.
Gov. Haley Barbour has cut $458.5 million out of what started as a nearly $6 billion state budget. State revenues have fallen short of expectations for 17 months in a row. By law, Mississippi's budget must be balanced. The fiscal year ends June 30.

Obergefell v. Hodges: An Imagined Opinion, Concurring in the Judgment
In Obergefell v. Hodges, decided on June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that excluding same-sex couples from civil marriage is unconstitutional. Sometimes the appropriate response to a judicial decision is: "Right ruling, but wrong — or, at least, problematic — reasoning." Is that the appropriate response — or an appropriate response — to the Court's decision in Obergefell?
This brief paper (here) is an imagined opinion — an opinion by an imaginary justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Nemo — concurring in the Court's judgment in Obergefell. In the opinion, Justice Nemo articulates a basis for the Court's judgment that she believes to be preferable, on a number of grounds, to the somewhat diffuse mix of rationales on which the majority relies. Justice Nemo begins her opinion by explaining why one of the rationales included in the mix on which the majority relies — an "equal protection" rationale — is, in her view, a problematic basis for the Court's judgment.
In her opinion, Justice Nemo relies on an insight of the celebrated Jesuit theologian John Courtney Murray, who is no doubt familiar to the five Catholic justices of the Supreme Court.

On the Constitutionality and Political Morality of Granting Conscience-Protecting Exemptions Only to Religious Believers
This paper was my contribution to the conference on "The Scope of Religious Exemptions," hosted by the Bowling Green State University Department of Philosophy, April 17-18, 2015. I explain in the paper that both the constitutional law of the United States and the political morality of human rights converge on the conclusion that government may not grant conscience-protecting exemptions only to religious believers.

American Religious Freedom: Reflections on Koppelman and Smith
This review essay, Review of Politics 77 (2015), 287-299, may be of interest to MOJ readers. The abstract:
Among contemporary scholars of American religious freedom, Andrew Koppelman and Steven Smith are two of the most esteemed. In their respective books -- Koppelman's Defending American Religious Neutrality (Harvard 2013) and Smith's The Rise and Decline of American Religious Freedom (Harvard 2014) -- they address a broad range of important issues. Space limitations constrain me to be selective in this review essay. I comment here on what Koppelman and Smith say, and don't say, about two of the most fundamental issues concerning American religious freedom: the meaning of the nonestablishment norm and the constitutionality of granting conscience-protecting exemptions only to religious believers.

Rawls, Political Liberalism, and the Family
In August 2012, Robby George recommended (here) an article by a former student of his, Matthew O'Brien--an article on political liberalism and same-sex marriage--that had just been published in the British Journal of American Legal Studies. A response to O'Brien's article has now been published, also in the British Journal Of American Legal Studies, by Greg Walker of Cardiff University (Wales, U.K.). The title: Rawls, Political Liberalism, and the Family. Walker writes, in an e-mail message to me, that his response "demonstrates deep flaws in O'Brien's reading of Rawls and of aspects of U.S. constitutional law." Walker's article is available here.

Civil Same-Sex Marriage: A Catholic Affirmation
That's the title of a new article by Lisa Fullam, D.V.M., Th.D., who teaches moral theology at the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley. Fullam's research interests include virtue ethics, medical and sexual ethics, the intersection of ethics and spirituality, and Ignatian spirituality.
Here's the abstract of Fullam's article:
Many Catholic contributions to the debate over civil same-sex marriage are too broad or too narrow. Too broad: civil same-sex marriage is sometimes described as parallel to same-sex marriage in the Church. Too narrow: some Catholic contributions to the discussion have centered on reproductive capacity, ignoring Catholicism's rich tradition which values marriage beyond procreation. Here, I consider Catholic moral tradition on civil law: civil law is approached in light of the common good, expressed in contemporary societies in terms of equal civil rights. Second, I examine magisterial contributions to the public debate, which are framed in terms of a reading of natural law based in the Scriptural interpretation of Pope John Paul II. Such religious arguments may serve as normative for marriage within the Church, but do not reflect Catholic norms for civil law. Finally, I offer reasons Catholics might advocate civil same-sex marriage.

Griffiths on Rodriguez
Paul J. Griffiths is the Warren Chair of Catholic Theology at Duke University. Richard Rodriguez is ... well, if you don't already know but follow the link below, you will know.
In First Things, Griffiths has a wonderful review, here, of Rodriguez's new book, Darling: A Spiritual Autobiography. An excerpt from Griffith's review:
Among the impurities the Church might want to cleanse herself of is people like Rodriguez, he thinks, because he prefers to share his love and his bed and his life with a man rather than a woman. He takes the Church to be wrong doctrinally about homosexual acts, and often wrong, too, in what it teaches about women. He would like the Church to take instruction on these matters, as Jesus also did, from Mary, another darling in these pages. And he thinks that if it did, the Church's self-shrouding fear might grow less and its loving embrace of pain might show itself more clearly.
I don't agree with every position taken in Darling, or with every argument offered. On Islam, I suspect that what's needed at the moment isn't emphasis on the similarities among the three so-called Abrahamic religions as desert faiths, real though these are, but rather on difference and complementarity. The recent work of Rémi Brague on this, especially On the God of the Christians (and on one or two others), is especially instructive. On homosexuality and homosexual acts, by contrast, I think Rodriguez much closer to being right than not. Insofar as such acts are motivated by and evoke love, they are good and to be loved; insofar as they do not, not. In this, they are no different from heterosexual acts.
There are other interesting differences between the two kinds of act. But if you think, as Rodriguez seems to, and I do, and all Catholics should, that we live in a devastated world in which no sexual acts are undamaged, free from the taint of sin and death and the concomitant need for lament, then the fact that homosexual acts have their own characteristic disorder is no ground for blindness to the goods they enshrine. Gay men should, of course, darling one another; those of us whose darlings are of the opposite sex should be glad that they do, and glad of instruction in love by the ways in which they do. Love is hard enough to come by in a devastated world without encouraging blindness to its presence.
Again, the entire review, in First Things, is here.

The Abortion Cases, Revisited
I just posted a paper to SSRN that will be of interest, I think, to some MOJ readers. The paper is available here. The abstract:
In this paper, I discuss the criminalization of abortion both as a human rights issue and, especially, as a constitutional issue.
Governments are free, insofar as internationally recognized human rights are concerned, not to ban abortion. The serious question, which I address in this paper, is whether governments are also free, insofar as international human rights are concerned, to ban abortion. In particular: Is it a violation of a woman's human rights for a country to ban abortion? One of the world's most important human rights NGOs—Human Rights Watch—has answered in the affirmative.
Whatever the answer to the preceding question, a different question remains, and it is one of the most perennially contested questions in American constitutional studies: Were the Abortion Cases correctly decided?
Of all the constitutional rulings by the Supreme Court since the end of the Second World War, none have been more persistently controversial than the Court's rulings, in 1973, in the Abortion Cases: Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. In Roe, the Court invalidated a Texas law that banned all abortions except those necessary to save the life of the mother. The Georgia law at issue in Doe was more permissive; it exempted abortions necessary "because (1) a continuation of the pregnancy would endanger the life of the pregnant woman or would seriously and permanently injure her health; or (2) the fetus would very likely be born with a grave, permanent, and irremediable mental or physical defect; or (3) the pregnancy resulted from forcible or statutory rape." Nonetheless, the Court invalidated the Georgia law. In 1992, four Supreme Court justices voted to overrule the Abortion Cases; a bare majority of the Court—five justices—refused to go along. In 2014, over forty years after the Court's rulings in the Abortion Cases, four justices, given the opportunity, would almost certainly vote to overrule the Abortion Cases: Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito.
The conclusion I reach in this paper—that the Supreme Court's ruling against the Texas law, but not its ruling against the Georgia law, was warranted—is, of course, controversial: Many insist that both rulings were warranted; many others, that neither ruling was warranted. Although controversial, the position at which I have arrived brings me into alignment—for me, comfortable alignment—with the position espoused by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 1985, when she was a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit: In the Abortion Cases, then-Judge Ginsburg wrote, the Supreme Court should not have "gone beyond a ruling on the extreme [Texas] statute before the Court. . . . Heavy-handed judicial intervention was difficult to justify and appears to have provoked, not resolved, conflict."
This paper is one of a several connected papers that I have posted to SSRN in the last nine months, discussing "human rights in the constitutional law of the United States"—discussing, in particular, the implications of one or more constitutionally entrenched human rights for the divisive controversies over capital punishment, same-sex marriage, and, in this paper, abortion. A list of the papers is available here.

A New Stance on Homosexuality?
That question was in the subject line of an e-mail I received this afternoon from the Jesuit magazine America. The reference, it turned out, was to an article, in the new issue, by John Langan, S.J., who is the Joseph Cardinal Bernardin Professor of Catholic Social Thought at Georgetown University. The article--which is titled See the Person: Understanding Pope Francis' Statements on Homosexuality--will be of much interest to many MOJ readers (and bloggers). As Larry Solum says: Highly Recommended! The article is available here.
A related piece in the same issue--an editorial, titled When the Law is the Crime--is here, arguing vigorously that "supporters of traditional marriage must denounce unjust discrimination against homosexuals." An excerpt:
"It is especially disturbing that such legislation is immensely popular in predominately Christian countries like Uganda, where 40 percent of the population is Roman Catholic and the Catholic bishops have sent mixed signals about the legislation. When the bill was first considered in 2009, Archbishop Cyprian Lwanga of Kampala, speaking on behalf of the Catholic bishops' conference, said it was 'at odds with the core values' of Christianity. When the bill was reintroduced in 2012, however, the Uganda Joint Christian Council, which includes Catholic, Anglican and Orthodox bishops, expressed support for the bill. Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama of Jos, Nigeria, meanwhile, has praised President Goodluck Jonathan for his 'courageous and wise decision' to sign the new law in that country."

Anshul Singh, who was recently seen as Murli in Zee TV's popular show Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke turned a year older yesterday!
TellyBuzz spoke to Anshul to know more about how he celebrated his birthday and his birthday related memories.
My birthday celebrations began at midnight – "I celebrated my birthday with my friends. We had a cake cutting at 12 in the night and thus started my birthday celebrations."
My birthday was full of fun – "One of my friend didn't wish me and he asked me to come along with him for lunch at another friend's house. When I entered the house, they had kept a bucket full of water for me which they poured over me. Interestingly, my friends' sister came with a balloon full of water to throw at me but she slipped and fell before doing that. I cut a birthday cake there too with my friends and got a nice cake facial. So, it was a nice birthday spent time with my friends and family."
A perfect birthday according to you – "A perfect birthday according to me is the one which I can celebrate with my family and friends and dance and have fun with them."
Gifts that I got on my birthday – "I don't believe in gifts but I wish to get a new good show as my birthday gift this year."
My childhood related birthday memories – "I used to celebrate my birthday with my family members and friends by keeping a house party or going out to places like Matheran, Mahableshwar or Lonavala."
Plans to treat friends from the industry – "Yes, I have lots of friends from the industry and I did treat them last evening."
Thanks to all my fans for their wishes – "Thanks to all of you for your wonderful and kind wishes. God Bless you all."
TellyBuzz wishes Anshul a belated happy birthday and a blessed year ahead!

Tsaoism: A Simple Guide to Understanding Children and Adults
ISBN13:by Tsao, Thomas, M.D.
Ingram Pub Services
Tsaoism is not a work about some new Eastern religion nor is it about some New Age personal philosophy. However, it is about human behavior and why human beings behave so predictably. It is not meant to be some self-help manual, but it might be that, particularly if you have children to raise. It is essentially Psychiatry 101 made simple and understandable for the average, normal person, whatever "normal" may be. It is meant for professionals and non-professionals alike. It is a peek into the secret sex lives of women and men plus a clear, scientific explanation of the painful male condition "blue balls." If this hasn't piqued your curiosity or interest, then I don't know what will.
One of my major objectives in taking on this literary endeavor was the realization that most people's lives are like the leaves of trees in the fall. After changing from green to various colors and shades thereof, the leaf falls off the tree and, with the autumn rain, is washed into a stream. The stream grows and flows, eventually emptying into a river downstream, in the process sweeping along the leaf. The river finds its way to the bay and finally into the ocean, where for the leaf and all its kindred souls the journey ends. Similarly, every person's life follows such a course from beginning to end. We, like the leaves, are swept along by the flow of life; we seldom or never swim against the current, passively being moved steadily toward the end of our solitary journey through life. To put it another way, as a friend recently told me, "Only the dead fish go with the flow." So, if your heart's still beating, swim against the current!
