Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, firstname.lastname@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [TH] Oct. 22, 2009 New Game Warden Training Center Construction On Track AUSTIN, Texas -- Phase one of construction on a new $20 million Texas Game Warden Training Center in Hamilton County is proceeding on schedule and on budget and is set to be completed by the end of December. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department officials say the new facilities were needed to replace aging, outdated facilities and to better meet current and future needs in training cadets to meet the expanded role of modern game wardens. For more than 30 years, game warden cadets trained in a converted warehouse on 6.2 acres in central Austin or at a patchwork of borrowed facilities around the state. That changed in fall 2008 when the 54th Texas Game Warden Academy cadet class began training on a 220-acre property in Hamilton County. The first phase of construction now nearing completion at the new site includes a new education building, administration building, gymnasium, a remodeling of the exterior of the dining hall, the installation of site utilities, the construction of roads, parking and landscaping. Funds are currently being raised for the final phase of construction, which will include the installation of a pool to practice water rescues, a maintenance building, a firing range, a course for operating emergency vehicles and a helicopter pad, as well as the remodeling of eight other buildings and the dining hall kitchen. (See complete plans online.) The new facilities will allow cadets to get out of the classroom and train in the sort of environment that they will one day be working in, said Major Danny Shaw, director of training at the academy. "We needed a new training center because the old warehouse didn't lend us the ability to do the training we had to do," he said. "We can do ATV training here, we can do 4-wheel drive vehicle training, and scenario-based training, like checking up on a group of dove hunters or duck hunters, or somebody fishing. It affords us the opportunity to realistically set up this scenario-based training just outside the classroom door." The property was donated by the nonprofit Police Activities League, and the project was envisioned from the beginning as a public-private partnership. The Texas Legislature authorized an initial infusion of $3.6 million from the sale of the Austin property to begin construction on 39,000 square feet of instructional, administrative and residential facilities. Along with the state's initial investment, private donors have so far given about $6.4 million, altogether providing about half the estimated $20 million that will be required to complete construction of facilities that will be home to 48 cadets and 16 instructors at a time. "Every day, every night, for more than a century, Texas game wardens have epitomized community-based conservation law enforcement across our state," said Peter Holt, chairman of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission. "They put their lives on the line, take educational messages to schools, save lives during hurricanes and floods, and do it all with a positive, can-do outlook. Sometimes they pay the ultimate price. Now, with this training center, game wardens could use some help. We hope the people of Texas will respond with donations to help us meet our fundraising goal." Since 1895, Texas game wardens have built a reputation as "off-the-pavement" peace officers with a heritage second only to the legendary Texas Rangers. Sixteen have died in the line of duty. That tradition of service is carried on today by more than 500 men and women who reflect the diversity of the people of Texas. They come from small towns and some of the nation's largest urban areas. Many have degrees in criminal justice or wildlife management or biology. Others studied the humanities, and worked as bankers and graphic designers, city cops and schoolteachers, before gaining entrance to the Game Warden Academy. Something they all have in common is their dedication and desire to serve the people of Texas, and to help conserve the state's natural and cultural resources. Only about 10 percent of applicants to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's law enforcement training program make the cut each year. Those who are accepted undergo the most rigorous training of any peace officer in Texas, and are widely acclaimed as some of the best-trained and best-educated conservation law enforcement officers in the nation. It's a program with an international reputation. Major donors to the Texas Game Warden Training Center include William P. Clements, Lee M. Bass, TXU, T.D. Friedkin, T.L.L. Temple Foundation, Edwin L. Cox, Walter Umphrey and the George and Mary Josephine Hamman Foundation. The public can see maps, plans, and other information about the new training center, including how to make a tax-deductible donation to support construction of the training center, at the Texas Game Warden Training Center Web site. Editors: News photos, a map graphic showing proposed facilities and artist's drawings of various buildings are available for news media in the Game Warden Training Center News Roundup on the TPWD Web site. --- On the Net: http://tpwd.texas.gov/warden/training_center/index.phtml http://tpwd.texas.gov/newsmedia/releases/news_roundup/game_warden_training_center/ -30-

WEPL Premier One
Bridgwater 317-8 beat Taunton Deane 177 by 140 runs
BRIDGWATER flexed their early season muscles with a 140-run victory over Taunton Deane at The Parks on Saturday.
Jonathan Vickery led the Bridgy charge with a breezy 76 not out as the hosts posted an imposing 317-8 from their 50 overs – Chris Gange (61) and Andy Hallaran (54) also registered half centuries while Taunton Deane contributed 36 extras.
Only Australian Jon Rogers (81) put up any meaningful resistance for Deane, but Chris Skidmore (3-37), Cameron Williams (2-34) and Todd Barrett (2-22) secured an emphatic win for Bridgwater.
Hallaran struck six fours and three sixes in his quick-fire half century, as he and Mitchell Windsor (20) put on 54 for the first wicket.
Windsor was the first to go, caught off the bowling of Milligan, but Todd Barrett's run-a-ball 30 ensured Bridgy continued to rattle along.
He fell with the score on 118 and Hallaran followed shortly after, both to Luke Whitear.
From here on in, Gange and Vickery took charge, plundering 71 runs in quick time – with Vickery in particular striking some lusty blows.
Gange departed for a well made 61 and Steffan Jones added 23, but it was Vickery who saw Bridgwater past the 300 mark, with seven fours and two sixes in his 56-ball innings.
In reply, the impressive Skidmore got Bridgwater off to the best possible start, removing Loud (1), Fraser (17) and Leach (4) to leave Taunton Deane 54-3.
Cameron Williams leg spin dug Deane a deeper hole as he took two wickets in two balls to account for Warren and Shaikh – but Jon Rogers was standing firm at the other end and the Australian left hander began to open up as wickets tumbled at the other end.
He hit 13 fours in his 81, but Steve Davis snuck one through his defences to see Deane slump to 129-6.
Saxby (29) restored an element of pride to scorecard, but he was running out of partners as Jones (15) and Derham (0) fell cheaply.
From running out of partners, Saxby was then run out himself courtesy of some neat work from Steve Davis.
Montgomery returned to mop up the tail and completed a convincing victory with his side with the dismissal of Whitear.
#Bridgwater host Bath next Saturday in a huge Premier One clash, 12.30pm start.
The following Sunday they travel to Cornwall to take on St Just in the National Knockout Cup – the club will be running a coach to the game, anyone interested should contact Andy Higgins or Michael Moran on 01278 455018.

A DRUNKEN thug who terrorised his former partner by repeatedly attacking her in outbursts of 'insane jealously' has been jailed.
Plumber Kieron Brown, 38, launched a campaign of violence against the mother-of-two because he couldn't stand her being attractive to other people, Burnley Crown Court heard.
At first, she was too scared to give a statement to police, protected him and was left living in fear.
Brown strangled the victim, dragged her to the floor, knelt on her head and hit her with her stiletto, pinned her to a wall and subjected her to verbal abuse, calling her 'pathetic'. He accused the victim of cheating on him and sank his teeth into her hand.
The defendant also scared her daughter by contacting the garage where she worked and, the young woman was to tell the police, threatened to 'do us all in'.The court was told the probation service thought Brown, from Burnley, was at risk of eventually causing really serious harm.
Brown, of no fixed address, admitted three counts of assault causing actual bodily harm, one of common assault and an allegation of harassment. The offences took place between October 27, 2012 and about last August.
Prosecutor Robert Elias said Brown carried out a series of assaults, usually in drink and because he was jealous. Joanna Rodikis, for Brown, said he accepted full responsibility for his terrible behaviour and expressed remorse and regret.
She said: "When he has been drinking to excess, he loses all common sense. He is jealous and he is possessive and that causeshim to over-react and behave very badly."
Miss Rodikis said Brown was due to become a mentor in prison, teaching maths and English.
Sentencing him to 27 months in prison, Recorder Roderick Carus, QC, told the defendant, who had a previous conviction for grievous bodily harm: "You have an established record, in my view, which suggests you have a violent disposition. It's a sad fact to see that you are, in many respects, a good man."
Recorder Carus said there had been an explosion of violence and Brown treated the victim with contempt. He added: "She was weaker than you and so she could be humiliated."

I want to comment on the website, it was the itinerary that motivated me to travel with Peregrine. Altho there is a lot of info, lots of it is very general, not specific to West Africa, or not applicable and important information not provided. Re the question above, I don't know if I would travel with Peregrine again. Depends on itinerary. I also enjoyed working with your vendors. I hope they will receive a cc of this. I didn't see where I could cc this to them. They really bailed Peregrine out from the missing links. This was an amazing cultural and historical experience, everything I wanted it to be. However, Benin was an important part of that experience. If you are adaptable, flexible and motivated to immerse yourself into a unique part of the world, you will love it. Just don't bring 1st world expectations with you.

WHEN you've fallen off as many horses as the Princess Royal during her distinguished riding career, a set of garden steps, however, strangely cambered, presents no real danger.
And so it was at RHS Malvern Spring Festival, where the royal visitor safely negotiated the disorientation of a garden designed to replicate the problems encountered by sufferers of Parkinson's.
When warned by her entourage the exercise might be a bit challenging, the Royal response was: "Oh come on. Let's give it a go."
Which she did, much to the pleasure of Ruth Gwynn from Birlingham, near Pershore, who had designed the Living with Parkinson's show garden - built by her husband Rupert's firm Keyscape - to support a family member who has the disease.
"I tried to include all the disorientation that Parkinson's induces," Mrs Gwynn explained.
"Like changing levels and unexpected features."
Hence there was a hedge with a hidden door in and the strange steps. The effort proved a hit with RHS judges, who gave it a silver-gilt flora award.
Even more highly rated, with a gold award, was the garden designed and built by Jason Hales of Villaggio Verde of Martley, which brought a touch of the Mediterranean to the Malverns.
"As soon as I saw the plot we had been allocated on the Three Counties Showground, with the Malvern Hills as a backdrop, I had this idea of a Spanish island garden," he said.
"With the white houses on the hillside, it was just like you get in places like Ibiza."
To turn the idea into reality, Mr Hales used 50 tons of sea sand, scooped from the bottom of the ocean, a mass of Mediterranean plants and built an old Spanish-style beach house.
As the Princess Royal admired his work, he was able to tell her his company had supplied all the olive trees used at Prince Charles' residence Highgrove House.
The Princess spent more than three hours touring the showground, receiving an especially enthusiastic welcome in the schools garden area, where she was literally besieged by youngsters.
At the garden of Tudor Grange Academy, Worcester, which given a commended award, she was shown around by 14-years-old Ryan Gray of Eskdale Close, Warndon, while on the stand of Abberley Parochial Primary , which was high commended, the honour went to Josh Cook, aged 10, of Abberley.

Freak, MemoryBy Dave Tompkins
The half-mouse—the good half, the half equipped with a smell memory validated by neuroscience, the half mortally known as the half that never saw it coming—shot across the kitchen floor, headed due west with a decent but final glimpse of the front yard. The back half landed somewhere near the sink.
My brother had split the mouse in two with a nine-iron. According to witnesses at the scene, the creature's separation was cartoonishly neat. I recall thinking this was a flawed method of pest control for someone with no short game to speak of. The linoleum gopher hump that rose from my grandparents' kitchen floor—a distortion from water damage—did place the moment in a Goony Golf warp. But from my understanding, the murder was more reflex than act of cruelty. It wasn't like my brother teed up and put the mouse through a window. (I imagine a similar instinct overtaking him the time he allegedly potato-slammed a palmetto bug on the kitchen counter, knocking it out of its exoskeleton, quivering.) He just grabbed the first thing within reach—a legendary chemistry teacher's nine-iron—and let the mouse have it. Having once hurled a toaster oven at a cockroach, I can relate.

HOUSTON - Community leaders met with the Harris County district attorney Friday morning to discuss the not guilty verdict in the case of a former police officer who was accused of beating a teenage burglary suspect. A second group that wanted to meet with the district attorney without an appointment ended up leaving the courthouse in handcuffs.
Andrew Blomberg was found not guilty of misdemeanor official oppression on Wednesday. Blomberg was fired along with three other officers after they were caught on videotape kicking and stomping 15-year-old burglary suspect Chad Holley in March 2010.
Quanell X, leader of the New Black Panther Party and several local ministers met with District Attorney Pat Lykos beginning at 9 a.m.
The meeting was described as tense but respectful. Quanell X said that the two sides disagreed about everything.
Quanell X said the biggest issue was about an all-white jury hearing cases. He said he never wants that to happen again.
"It was a very painful meeting," he said. "She respected us, we respected her, but she held her ground and we held ours."
"We had an open and candid dialogue," Lykos wrote in a statement. "The ministers shared their concerns and I listened. I expressed my thoughts as well. Although we disagreed on much, we agreed to keep the door open for additional discussions."
Members of the National Black United Front also arrived at Lykos' office, demanding to meet with her. They said they would not leave until she spoke with them, and they were prepared to be arrested.
"A group obstructed the lobby of the District Attorney's Office," Lykos wrote in a statement. "Profane language was directed against the employees of this office. They were disruptive and impeded our work.
Employees asked the group to leave, but they refused.
"We ain't going nowhere," said Krystal Muhammad. "You can arrest me. Do not touch me. Do not touch me."
Members of the group got down on the ground in the doorway.
After three warnings, police arrested three people.
Muhammad, Kofi Taharka and Maria Elena Castellanos, were charged with criminal trespass.
"Should anyone wish to meet with me, there is an appropriate manner in which to schedule it. I expect people to treat the dedicated professionals in my office with respect," Lykos wrote in a statement. "I will not permit any group to occupy our office. I will not allow the administration of justice to be held hostage. I will not capitulate to threats."
Dozens of Houstonians voiced their outrage at a march and protest Thursday afternoon at the Harris County Criminal Courthouse at 1201 Franklin Street. Protesters chanted, held signs and demanded an independent civilian review board with subpoena power.
The leader of the National Black United Front, Kofi Taharka, said he was prepared to be arrested for his act of civil disobedience.
Taharka said, "I'm ready to go to jail. Civil disobedience as protest for the lack of justice that has gone on in Harris County since its inception."
The sit-in outside the courthouse ended more than an hour later when the district attorney's office confirmed that Lykos would meet with community leaders.
Canedia Hamilton said that if her son got into trouble, she hopes he would not be treated like Holley was.
"I think what happened was the police going too far," she said. "There should be protections for people, guilty or not. You're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. When you surrender, you shouldn't be beat up. When you're spread eagle on the ground, there's no reason to continuously beat a child."
Protesters said they have lost confidence in the justice system. They said there was never a chance of conviction because all of the jurors were white. They chanted "No more all-white juries" as they marched to the courthouse.
"We both wanted to get a fair jury," said defense attorney Dick DeGuerin. "I would have loved to have had minorities that could be fair, just to deflect this kind of criticism."
Houston's mayor called for calm at a protest.
"I trust that they will voice their disappointment in a civil and sensible manner and that we will go on from this," Houston Mayor Annise Parker said.
Parker and Police Chief Charles McClelland both said they disagreed with the verdict. McClelland said he has zero tolerance for officers using excessive force when handling a suspect.
Quanell X said the case never had a chance.
"We live in Houston, Harris County, with a 67.8 percent minority. You mean to tell me with that type of racial minority to it, you can't find one qualified minority to sit on the jury?" he said. "We all should be concerned because this is bigger than just Chad Holley. This is about putting the system on trial and holding it accountable."
Chad Holley now attends Cypress-Falls High School in northwest Harris County. Some of his classmates said they were not surprised, but they were upset.
"It does bother me, but it ain't nothing new," senior Earl Baty said.
"He wasn't fighting back," student Scott Ansley said. "They should not have kicked him in any way."
A police officer's son said officers sometimes go too far.
"I think cops take advantage of the situation if they don't see a camera," senior Christian Minner said.
A community meeting is being arranged for next week.
Many of the protesters said they planned to register to vote so they could voice their displeasure at the polls.

Actor and New Orleans native Colin Walker loves the fact that the Prytania Theatre in New Orleans is among the hundreds of theaters across the U.S. where his latest movie, Lee Daniels' The Butler, opens Friday.
The Los Angeles-based Walker grew up within a few blocks of the historic Prytania in Uptown, the oldest operating movie theater in the city and the only remaining single-screen theater in the state.
"Every time I go home my parents and I walk over there to see movies," he said this week from Cape Cod, Mass., where he's vacationing between acting work on the East Coast.
The actor expects his parents to be the first in line to see The Butler.
"They grew up going to the Prytania," he said. "My dad went to high school down the street from there, so I feel like it's my theater."
Filming The Butler in New Orleans was a treat, too. Walker plays John Ehrlichman, chief counsel to President Richard M. Nixon.
"It's been really great to come home and work," he said. "I get to see family and eat good food and call it work. Most of the time I just stay with my folks. My mom loves it."
Forest Whitaker has the title role in The Butler as Cecil Gaines, a fictional character inspired by reporter Wil Haygood's 2008 story about the late Eugene Allen, a White House butler who served eight presidential administrations.
In addition to Whitaker and Walker, the film's expansive cast includes Oprah Winfrey, Clarence Williams III, Vanessa Redgrave, Mariah Carey, David Oyelowo, Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard, Lenny Kravitz, James Marsden, John Cusack, Jane Fonda, Alan Rickman, Liev Schreiber and Robin Williams.
"It's a joy to be a part of an ensemble of that caliber," Walker said. "Even though I have a smaller part, everybody at all levels pitched in to create this piece."
Walker was working in New Orleans, playing FBI agent Collington in HBO's Treme series, when he approached director Lee Daniels about appearing in The Butler. Daniels was in the city at the time, too, working on his 2012 film, The Paperboy, and preparing for The Bulter.
"I called anybody and everybody who would take my calls, so I could get in to see Lee Daniels," Walker recalled. "I got to meet him and audition for him."
Walker admired Daniels' previous films, which include Precious, the 2009 drama that earned the director an Academy Award nomination and won Academy Awards for best supporting actress and best adapted screenplay.
"I could tell by watching Precious that he's an actor's director," Walker said. "While working with him I learned that he's very collaborative. He inspired me to trust my instincts. And I really enjoy that he took people who aren't traditional actors, like Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey, and got strong performances from them."
Walker will return as Collington in Treme for the final four episodes of the series' concluding season, scheduled to begin Dec. 1. His Treme character shares most of his scenes with David Morse's NOPD police officer, Terry Colson, and attorney Toni Bernette, played by Oscar winner Melissa Leo.
"The opportunity to work on the show with these great people and telling what I believe is an important story about the city was a dream come true," the actor said.
Walker often portrays law enforcement officers such as Collington.
"I've played everything from a prison guard to a state trooper to DEA, FBI and CIA agents. Obviously, I look forward to doing more in-depth roles but, for now, I'm grateful that they keep hiring me to be the cop."

J.J. Hickson's agent has received inquiring phone calls from teams interested in making a trade for him with the Portland Trail Blazers, according to sources.

What is Soto Zen?
The emphasis of Soto Zen Buddhism is on warm-hearted sitting meditation, or zazen. During zazen, we practice meeting everything that arises with an open mind and a loving heart. Attempting to quiet ourselves in both body and mind, we discover how busy our daily lives are. Once calm, we often more clearly witness the anxiety and anguish born of our persistent efforts to control the flow of existence around us. By remaining upright and still while paying attention to our breath, we allow the anxious buzzing of our routines to settle and we begin to experience ourselves and the world in which we live for the first time.
If our practice can be said to have a purpose, it might be to see things as they are by allowing being to occur naturally with us, rather than actively trying to be someone. In "Actualizing the Fundamental Point", Dogen Zenji, who brought Soto to Japan in the 1200's, wrote "To carry the self forward and illuminate myriad things is delusion. That myriad things come forth and illuminate the self is awakening." For the latter to occur, a deep stillness is required. That is why we sit zazen. Interestingly, as we become more and more familiar with quiet, with things as they are, with the present moment, we come to understand our connection with all being. Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, who brought Soto to this country, called this seeing "things-as-it-is". The experience of things-as-it-is allows our anxious being to settle. As we encounter this interconnectedness, we also begin to feel a deep sense of compassion and a desire to end misery for all people. This sense of freedom gained from the realization of our interconnectedness results in a great desire to bring this understanding to all the beings in our life. Soon those who often have begun practice because they felt that their lives were in some way unsatisfactory become interested in pursuing an ethical life and taking Boddhisattva vows. A Boddhisattva is a being that, having experienced freedom, wishes to actively participate in making it available to all people. In taking up this path of liberation, the Boddhisattva takes the following vows:
Beings are numberless; I vow to save them.
Delusions are inexhaustible; I vow to end them.
Dharma gates are boundless; I vow to enter them.
Buddha's Way is unsurpassable; I vow to become it.
While realizing the apparent impossibility of accomplishing these tasks, a practitioner begins to appreciate the opportunity to have such a rich task in which to engage for her or his entire life. So our Soto Zen Buddhist practice is not a quick fix, an isolationist activity, or a nihilistic message; rather, it is finally and forever an engagement of one's whole being in life as it presents itself.

I was excited when I got an email from Cassidy at Bob's Red Mill asking me if I'd be interested in writing a post featuring one of their soup mixes a few months ago. I've used Bob's product for years. When Sophie was 4, I put her on a gluten-free, cow-free diet. Bob's was one of the only companies that made gluten-free baking mixes so my poor kid could have an occasional treat.
Cassidy gave me a choice of mixes, and I jumped on the Black Bean Soup Mix. I love black beans, on top of brown rice, in soup, or wrapped in a burrito. I received two large, 26 ounce packages of Bob's Bountiful Black Bean Soup Mix, which is a blend of black beans, black-eyed peas, pearl barley and navy beans. Sure, I could have made Black Bean Soup, but that wouldn't have been a challenge. I made a Chipotle Chicken Bowl a few months ago, that the family really loved, so I decided on vegetarian enchiladas with whole wheat tortillas. I made the black beans in my crock-pot before work and when I got home from work, I used 2 cups of drained black beans for my enchiladas and saved the rest for black bean soup, which gave me two meals! Spencer liked them so much, he asked for them again the following week!
[Editor's note: The Bob's Red Mill Bountiful Black Bean Soup Mix is not gluten free, as it contains barley. To make this recipe truly gluten free, simply substitute your favorite dried or canned black beans and use a trusted source of gluten free corn tortillas in place of whole wheat toritllas.]
Crockpot Black Beans
- 7 cups of Water or Broth
- 2 cups of Bountiful Black Bean Soup Mix
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 1 Garlic Clove, crushed
- Place all ingredients in a crockpot. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or until tender.
- Season with salt and pepper after beans have finished cooking. Salting at the beginning will make beans tough.
Chipotle Black Bean And Fire Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas
- 2 cups cooked Black Beans, drained.
- 1 Onion, diced
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Chipotle Powder
- 1/4 tsp ground Cumin
- 1/8 tsp ground Oregano
- 1/2 cup Roasted Red Bell Peppers, chopped. (These can be purchased in a jar if you would like to save time)
- 1-1/2 cups Fire Roasted Frozen Corn (Trader Joe's)
- 1- 4 ounce can Fire Roasted Diced Green Chiles
- 1- 28 ounce can Green Enchilada Sauce
- 12 Whole Wheat Tortillas
- 3-1/2 cups grated Cheese, Mexican blend, Jack, Mozzarella
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
- Heat olive oil over a medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic, Chipotle powder, oregano and cumin cook 2 minutes.
- Add bean, corn, peppers and chiles and cook just until heated. Remove from heat.
- Place about 1/3 cup of filling along the middle of each tortilla. Top with 4 tablespoons shredded cheese, roll. Lay each enchilada, seam side down, in a 13″ X 9″ baking dish.
- Continue until all tortillas or filling is used up. (Makes about 10-12 depending on the size of the tortilla and amount of filling used.)
- Pour green enchilada sauce over the enchiladas, covering them. Top with remaining cheese. Cover and bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes until hot and bubbly. Remove from oven and let sit, covered for 10 minutes for easier cutting.
Serving 2 enchiladas, serves 4-6

Lionel Messi hit four and Cristiano Ronaldo a hat-trick as Barcelona and Real Madrid warmed up for their Spanish Cup semi-final on Wednesday with respective 5-1 and 4-0 victories over Osasuna and Getafe on Sunday.
Second-placed Atletico Madrid, who sit between the two giants at the top of the league, lost ground losing 3-0 at Athletic Bilbao.
Atletico's defeat means Barcelona stretch the lead to 11 points at the top, while Real are only four behind their city rivals in third place.
Mikel San Jose headed the first of the game from a corner on 50 minutes for Athletic Bilbao who move into 12th.
Markel Susaeta doubled the lead on 77 minutes, finishing well after running onto a delightful through ball from Ander Herrera.
The third was again superb counter-attacking play from the Basques when Oscar De Marcos finished off a crisp passing move.
Messi earlier became the first player to score in 11 consecutive La Liga matches when he hit four as Barcelona eased past 10-man Osasuna.
Osasuna remains in the relegation zone on 18 points, two from safety.
Messi has 33 goals for the season, 12 more than Ronaldo.
It only took 11 minutes for Messi to open the scoring and claim another record.
A long through pass was cleared by Andres only as far as Xavi Hernandez, who found the Argentine in the area, Messi then producing a beautiful dummy to take him past the 'keeper before tapping home.
Raoul Loe levelled the game on 24 minutes against the run of play, but the side from Pamplona were left with 10 men three minutes later when centre-half Alejandro Arribas received a second yellow card after a shot struck his hand in the area.
Messi coolly slotted away the penalty for his second and Pedro Rodriguez made it three before halftime after a generous pass from Dani Alves left him with a tap in from close range.
The Argentine recorded his hat-trick on 56 minutes when he started a move in midfield, exchanged passes with Villa, and took the ball around the keeper before slotting home.
And a minute later, it was five as he finished off a swift Barca attack and Adriano pass from close range.
All Real's goals came in a much improved second-half performance in the derby against Getafe.
Sergio Ramos scored the first before Ronaldo hit three in 10 minutes, his first on 62 minutes after a sweeping counter-attack in which Mesut Ozil played the Portuguese star into space on the left for a crisp finish.
Three minutes later, he finished off a Gonzalo Higuain cross with a simple header and completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot after Alberto Lopo fouled Luka Modric.
Also on Sunday, Malaga moved into fourth with a 3-2 win at Mallorca, and Rayo Vallecano beat Real Betis 3-0 to move into sixth, a place and a point behind the Seville-based side.

Just when you thought the hot stove was down to its final ember, the rumor mill sputtered to life last night! Mike Puma of the New York Post reported that the Mets were interested in signing Ivan Rodriguez. Adam Rubin reported that no, they weren't. I'm going with Rubin on this one, based on past reporting.
But the news that the Mets had roughly $2 million in reserve to spend on either a fallback plan for Johan Santana and/or a backup catcher is interesting. All things being equal, I'd have preferred to see the Mets bring in another starting pitcher with that money. The five of Santana/Dickey/Niese/Pelfrey/Gee is relatively sound, but Santana is an obvious question mark, Gee has options in case the roster is too stocked with starting pitching (which never happens), and the backup plans are Miguel Batista, Garrett Olson and Chuck James.
Bartolo Colon, incidentally, signed for exactly $2 million with Oakland. He'd have been a nice fit.
That said, I don't see how they are spending that $2 million on anything approaching starting pitching depth with what is left on the market. Roy Oswalt isn't taking $2 million to pitch with the Mets. And the remaining free agent options are uninspiring, to say the least. I'd be fine with Javier Vazquez or Doug Davis, but that seems prohibitively expensive for either.
But the Mets can still help themselves at catcher, and it shouldn't take $2 million. Consider that Ramon Castro made $2 million, combined, over the past two years. For the job of backing up Josh Thole, facing left-handed pitchers and giving the Mets pop off the bench, Castro shouldn't require more than $600,000 or so. Realistically, that isn't even a large chunk of the $2 million, since it means Mike Nickeas returns to Triple-A, rather than earning the MLB minimum salary of $480,000. That leaves plenty of room for Davis or Vazquez, if needed.
And Castro can still mash. He put up a .928 OPS against lefties last year, and his career mark is .808. Ivan Rodriguez hasn't approached that kind of offense against lefties in years. And Mike Nickeas has a career OPS against everyone of .493. I mean, this isn't close.
This is a massive hole that doesn't need to exist on the 2012 New York Mets. Here's hoping Ramon Castro is back in Port St. Lucie, and soon.

15 May 44: 446th BS Mission Summary: (Ops Order 331/mission 330) Group Mission # 290:
Squadron Mission 247
TARGET: Orvieto Station RR Bridge DATE: 15 May 1944
Porto Ferraio, Elba (Alt)
Type of Bombs: 1000 lb. Demo. 446th Planes: 8
Lt. Morris and Lt. Moss led the formation. The first flight reported direct his on the center and both approaches of the bridge. At the alternate, the second flight reported direct hits in the commercial harbor area and on two boats. Flak was heavy, intense and accurate. Lt. Othick's plane was badly hit over the target and was reported to have made a successful crash-landing on the Island of Pianosa. It is assumed that the crew members were taken prisoners by the enemy. Lt. Sampson's plane also suffered direct hits from flak and the entire crew wounded by fragments. Heading for the open sea, Lt. Sampson gave the order to bail out, he being the last to leave, after which the plane exploded in mid-air. Air-Sea Rescue were able to pick up all the men. Lt. Walsh crash-landed at the home base, upon hitting the runway, the plane exploded and burned, due to the fact that it was saturated with gasoline from leaking fuel lines. Lt. Walsh was thrown clear of the plane, but died in the hospital from burns received. The other crew members could not be rescued, and all perished in the burning bomber. After an emergency landing Lt. Hodges' emergency brakes failed while taxiing and the plane crashed into a ditch, collapsing the landing gear. Lt. Vivas returned early with an oil leak in the right engine.
15 May 44: 445th BS: War Diary of: Seegmiller, Barnard H., Sgt, armament:
05/15/44: "About 10:00 hours today as a group of us were busy working on my plane we heard a sliding crash and explosion. We knew it was a plane and we started running for the runway, which was obscured, from us by a narrow belt of brush. Along with the first, I emerged from the brush to see the plane just bursting into flames. It had skidded off the runway into a pile of rocks and brush. At first there was no sign of survivors and I began to slacken my pace because the ammunition on the plane had commenced exploding. Then I saw a man fall from the pilot's escape hatch and roll frantically upon the ground very near the flames that were coming from the left engine. He appeared to be only semi-conscious as his efforts to save himself were rather undirected. By that time I was running again and only Art Hanna was ahead of me. I could see the man's clothes were on fire and began encouraging Hanna, who was carrying a coat on his arm, to hurry and attempt to smother the fire with his coat. I had left my shirt at the plane and was quite empty-handed. An ack-ack battery was set up nearer to the crash than we were and one of the boys had arrived on the scene and was trying uselessly to put the fire out with his hands while the poor fellow staggered and rolled, screaming for someone to put the fire out. I called to the ack-ack boy to use his coat, but he was too excited to hear me. All the while I was running as fast as I could and had overtaken Hanna. I could see now that it was the pilot's Mae West that was burning and as soon as I reached the spot I told the other boy to give me his coat, which I practically jerked off him. I used my pocket knife to cut off what was left of the burning Mae West. It was no time until the fire was out but the fellow was severely burned. His hair, eyes and nose were a white crisp. Soon the ambulance arrived and took him away. He was conscious and rational and I thought perhaps he would live, but I have heard several rumors that he died.
By the time we had finished, the plane was almost entirely in flames. However if others had arrived the same time we did I think someone could have been gotten out of the radio compartment. After it was all over it occurred to me that there might have been bombs in the plane. I do not feel that what I did was in any sense heroic or other than anyone else would have done, but I am pleased to think I had presence of mind enough to be of some assistance. There were some who did not go near because of the ammunition that was exploding. I went back this afternoon and saw a great many projectiles and cases that could have given one a nasty wound. The corpses of the other five men were lumped among the still burning ashes, all burned beyond recognition."

We are calling for comment on a draft new Performance Protocol, which aims to manage proportionately any justified concerns about the professional performance of veterinary surgeons and registered veterinary nurses (RVNs).
To ensure that we manage any justified concerns about professional performance in a proportionate manner, the Preliminary Investigation and Advisory Committees have been working together to develop a new Performance Protocol, setting out the way in which the College will respond to ongoing performance-related concerns.
This will be reinforced by the new principles-based Code of Professional Conduct, currently being finalised, which is likely to require clinical governance to be part of professional practice for veterinary surgeons and RVNs.
The draft Performance Protocol is intended to formalise and build on the way the RCVS already manage ongoing serious performance-related concerns.
It introduces new measures, including supervision and undertakings, to seek to ensure that veterinary surgeons and RVNs take reasonable steps to address any serious performance concerns.
This will bring the RCVS into line with other professional regulators and enable a tailored and proportionate response to these cases, in order to protect the welfare of animals and the public interest.
According to independent legal advice, such an approach is appropriate and necessary in order for us to fulfil our regulatory responsibilities.
Our current system of offering advice to veterinary surgeons and RVNs will remain for complaints which are closed, because there is no indication of serious professional misconduct.
The draft Performance Protocol follows similar legal advice that supported the implementation of the RCVS Health Protocol, and both protocols clarify our parallel jurisdiction relating to health and performance-related issues.
The draft Performance Protocol can be downloaded from our consultations section and comments on the draft should be emailed to Simon Wiklund, Advisory Manager at email@example.com by 13 January 2012 – please add 'Performance Protocol' to the subject heading.
The feedback received from the consultation (which was launched in November) will be considered by the Preliminary Investigation and Advisory Committees in January 2012, before being submitted to RCVS Council for approval in March.
The Practice Standard (December 2011)

Mayoral candidate Braddy faces foreclosure case, working to resolve it
Published: Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 2:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 2:53 p.m.
Gainesville mayoral candidate Ed Braddy is facing an active foreclosure case on his Gainesville home and says he is working to resolve the situation.
Wells Fargo filed a foreclosure action in May 2012, saying no mortgage payments had been received since the previous summer.
This week, Braddy showed The Sun a letter from late March from Wells Fargo in which the bank agreed to modify the mortgage in a step toward ending the foreclosure process.
The case involves Braddy's home in northwest Gainesville's Chatworth Court neighborhood. The home is his registered voting address and his listed residence on his campaign filing papers.
Under the terms of a 2008 divorce, Braddy gave up the home and was not responsible for the mortgage payments. But his name remained on the deed and the mortgage.
He said he moved back in last summer, after the foreclosure case was filed. He took over sole ownership of the home in October 2012, a deed filed with the Clerk of Courts showed.
Braddy said he took over ownership and modified the mortgage to keep the home from being foreclosed.

5 Ways to Fight With Your Guy and Win
Ok — maybe not "win" — but at least get a resolution that makes you happy!
-Lennie Ross
How you handle fights — or disagreements, as I prefer to call them — will greatly impact your relationship. Women deal with conflict in entirely different ways than men. If you want to communicate effectively with the man in your life, then you need to speak his language. Here are five tips on how to get through a fight with your relationship intact.
1. Think before you speak:
Women tend to be emotional and reactionary. Men don't respond well to either of these qualities. They like calm, rational presentations. Take a moment (or a day) to get over the anger, gain some perspective, and analyze what you are upset about and why it upsets you, and then present your concern in a clear, concise manner. Never send an angry email right after you compose it. You can write it, but wait 24 hours and read it again, and even bounce it off a friend, before hitting send.
2. Don't raise your voice:
If you want to be heard, don't yell. You will only strain your vocal chords. Men are experts at tuning out the noise, and to them, yelling = noise. A better strategy is to use your "inside voice". Imagine a baby is sleeping and you don't want to wake it when you address what upset you. Mary Poppins said it best: "A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down…"
Read 8 Ways to Improve Your Relationship
3. Living off the (Facebook) wall:
Don't air your dirty laundry on Facebook or any other social media platform. While it may feel good to vent to the world, there is nothing stronger than the written word and you can't do a take-back on the Internet. If you want to scream "my boyfriend is an asshole" to the world, then go on a hike in the wilderness and when your reach the top of the mountain and are completely physically spent, scream to your heart's content. You will feel better and you will still be able to make amends if you want to. If you tell all your friends what a jerk your man is being, your friends will forever see him in this unfavorable light. And, if he knows that you publicly blasted him, you may have no chance at redemption. Plus it makes you look emotionally immature and spiteful. Do you really want your family, friends, and coworkers to see your dark side? They will only be embarrassed for you.
4. Your opinion counts.
When women have a problem, the first thing they do is call their girlfriends for advice. They call and call and talk and talk and often hear the same advice over and over. If it's not what they want to hear, they keep consulting girlfriends hoping one will finally say what they want to hear. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what your friends say; it matters what you think. Rather than draw everyone into your drama, sit with it in silence for a while. Go for a walk. Take a yoga class. Breathe. Clear your mind and the answer will become clear. Sounds like a fortune cookie, but Confucius says: "She who has a problem, also has an answer."
5. Elephants never forget
But you're not an elephant and you would hate to be called one, so don't act like one by bringing up issues that happened six months ago. If you have an issue, address it presently—ideally when it happens or at the very least on the same day. You don't scold a dog for eating your slippers three weeks after the event. He would have no idea why you were upset with him. Behavior modification with dogs works best if you reward and punish in the moment. The same is true for men! Resolve a problem quickly and clearly and put the issue to rest permanently. Leave the past in the past, unless you want to become part of the past as well—your man's past!
Okay girls, stand up and fight like a man!

am having little problem with SELECT statement in my PHP and MYSQL tutorial....when I connect to my database and I want to use PHP try-catch to SELECT the database content with the code below butI always get a PDOException error message that say "no database selected"
try{$sql = 'SELECT booktext FROM book';$result = $pdo->query($sql);}catch (PDOException $e){$error = "error fetching books: " . $e->getMessage();exit();}
while ($row = $result->fetch());{$jokes[] = $row['booktext'];}
help me out....
You should have a statement that defines $pdo, can you show it to us (replace your username, password, etc with XXXXXX)
Thanks for getting back to me....This is the code am trying to run but each time I run the script I get the error message that says "no datebase selected".
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbame =*****', user*****', 'pass*****');$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO:: ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);$pdo->exec('SET NAMES "utf8"');
} catch (PDOException $e) { $error = "unable to connect to database server"; include 'error.html.php'; exit(); }
try { $sql = 'SELECT booktext FROM book'; $result = $pdo->query($sql);
} catch (PDOException $e) { $error = "error fetching books: " . $e->getMessage(); include 'error.html.php'; exit(); }
while ($row = $result->fetch()); { $books[] = $row['booktext']; }
include 'books.html.php';
Not sure if it is a typo when placed on the forum, or if it really is a typo in your code, but I see a few small things (though I'm not sure if they are the cause yet)
You have
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbame =*****', user*****', 'pass*****');
Which I believe should be
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbame=*****', 'user*****', 'pass*****');
I removed an extra space after dbname (dobut this makes a difference), but it mightAdded a ' quote in front of user*****'
Also as a future FYI, if you place your code inside [ php ] and [/ php ] (without the extra spacing in between the [ ], it will format it for you on the forum.
I have done what you ask me to do and am still getting the same error message...no database selected...help me with what am doing wrong.
this is the error message from the PDOException...... SQLSTATE[3D000]: Invalid catalog name: 1046 No database selected
Seeing as the the exception is coming from the first setting:
This line looks slightly wrong:
$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO:: ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
The 2nd argument contains an extra space after double colon, Should be
$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
Cups am still getting same error message after the correction....
There is another typo here:
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbame=*****', 'user*****', 'pass*****');
Should be dbname
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=*****', 'user*****', 'pass*****');
ding ding ding, we have a winner! I think you found it! Good catch @Cups ; even I missed that :D.
Only because we both steadfastly worked through a list of typos - and then I cheated by searching on the error message
@aosworks; When faced with problems like this read it, re-read it and if it still does not work type it out again, get used to doing that because it is part of the nature of the business.
We read things and re-read them but our brains tend to interpret what it thinks should be there, its an occupational hazard we have to bear. Using a good IDE which recognises PHP syntax will help a bit, but not in all cases.
Am happy that you guys are here, I thank you so much..@Cups, @cpradio big thanks....hope to see you there again on issues..thanks to everyone...more power to PHP...the database is now selected..Thanks.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/8/2014 (1095 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
IAN WILD set a franchise record for tackles in a game Friday night, but the Winnipeg Blue Bombers linebacker had no idea he'd done anything special at all in a 24-16 win over the Montreal Alouettes at Investors Group Field.
With 14 defensive tackles, Wild broke the single-game record of 13 co-owned by three former Bombers greats: Ken Hailey (Aug. 14, 1987); Greg Battle (Sept. 23, 1990); and K.D. Williams (Oct. 9, 1995).
"I honestly had no idea I had that many. I thought it was something more like seven or eight," said the second-year linebacker.
'I honestly had no idea I had that many. I thought it was something more like seven or eight. You just kind of take it one play at a time. But I guess they all added up. It's pretty cool'-- LB Ian Wild after his 14-tackleperformance
"You just kind of take it one play at a time. But I guess they all added up. It's pretty cool."
Wild also had a special-teams tackle Friday night.
To put Wild's remarkable defensive performance in context, the second-highest tackle tally Friday by any player on either team was Bombers defensive back Demond Washington, who recorded six defensive tackles.
Wild wasn't the only Bombers defender to record a big night on Friday.
Bombers safety Maurice Leggett had three interceptions, which is the third-highest single-game tally recorded by a Bomber defender.
"I'm grateful," said Leggett, who picked off Als QB Jonathon Crompton with under two minutes to play in the first half and then twice more with under two minutes to play in the fourth quarter and the Als pressing after a late Bombers go-ahead TD.
How hot was Leggett Friday night? He says he was able to predict the future.
"The last (interception), I told one of my players to switch with me," he said. "I knew the ball was coming this direction and I just played it perfectly, I guess."
No one was happier to make a contribution to the winning effort Friday than Bombers special teamer Don Unamba, who scooped up a punt blocked by teammate Derek Jones early in the third quarter and rumbled one yard into the Montreal end zone.
"Oh man, that's big for me," said Unamba. "I've been taking pride in special teams the whole year. So to finally get a stat or something on the board, it shows what I do, because special teams are sometimes behind the scenes."

Following a nationwide search, Rice University's Jones Graduate School of Business has named Rachel Fleck assistant dean of external relations. She was previously the director of development and interim external relations team lead for the Jones School. Emerging as the top candidate with enthusiastic support from the search committee and Jones School deans, her role as assistant dean began Jan. 1.
Beginning in July 2013, Fleck took on increasing responsibility for leading the external relations team through the successful completion of the $65 million Centennial Campaign, working with the school's Council of Overseers, faculty, staff, students, Jones Partners, alumni and a variety of stakeholders throughout the Rice community.
Fleck has led the school's fundraising efforts on important initiatives, such as relaunching the Master of Accounting Degree Program, initiating the Military Scholars Program, supporting the Crownover Scholars Program and overseeing the management of the Jones Fund.
"Her record of success at the Jones School has been consistent and remarkable," said Jay Collins, Jones School Council of Overseers (COO) chairman. "I am confident our development objectives will continue to progress under her leadership." Jim Postl, co-chair of the COO Development Committee, said he couldn't be more pleased about Flecks' appointment. "She has been tireless in bringing the capital campaign to a successful close and her work with a wide range of constituencies has been outstanding. It is a delight to work with her."
"Having worked with the external relations team for more than two years, I'm extremely honored and excited to be a part of a great leadership team," Fleck said. "With the support of our alumni, corporate partners and the community, we've successfully completed our Centennial Campaign goals, and I look forward to building upon that momentum in the years ahead."
Prior to joining Rice in 2011, Fleck served in a progression of assistant and associate director roles in development and alumni relations at the University of Michigan for eight years, primarily within the Stephen M. Ross School of Business. In addition to her accomplishments within the Jones School, she has been an invited presenter at conferences for the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business and the Accounting Programs Leadership Group – Federation of Schools of Accountancy.

Students Take In U.S. Supreme Court Arguments on Same-Sex Marriage
Law students Mulan Cui and Jay Shannon began waiting in line more than 24 hours before the U.S. Supreme Court would hear oral arguments Tuesday for Hollingsworth v. Perry, the case considering the constitutionality of California's gay marriage ban, Proposition 8.
Despite the heavy, wet snow blanketing Washington, they were joined by a handful of high school students they teach as part of the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project. The project mobilizes law students to lead courses on constitutional law and juvenile justice in public high schools in the District of Columbia and Maryland.
The group set up camp under tarps, umbrellas, and lawn chairs to stay dry, while making friends with their neighbors in line to pass the time. The opportunity to hear a case so important to Cui's generation made braving the long line and weather more bearable, she said.
On Tuesday morning, the group was excited to learn they had secured a spot to hear the arguments.
"We teach our students about the judicial system, and it's important to be able to see it in action," Cui said. "This is the law happening!"
According to Jay Shannon (pictured with his ticket), the Justices asked probing questions of both parties and posed drawn-out hypotheticals throughout the arguments.
"We had trouble reading the justices and don't know how the case will come out," he said.
"Through this experience, we hope to have gotten our students excited about the American legal system, and we hope they will remember being a part of such a historic moment for the rest of their lives. We weren't there to protest or support either side—we all fell on one side of the issue or another, but our goal was simply to expose our students to the excitement of the law and the passions and protests that come with it. All in all, the weather was terrible, but the company was great, and it was all worth it in the end."
A Tale of Two Cases
AUWCL Experts Weigh In
Check out American University Washington College of Law experts in the news, weighing in on the same-sex marriage cases:
On campus, a pre-argument discussion of the two cases, Hollingsworth v. Perry and U.S. v. Windsor, was organized by the law school's Lambda Law Society, a student organization dedicated to building awareness about LGBTQ legal issues, eliminating stereotypes about LGBTQ individuals, and fostering a supportive LGBTQ and ally community.
"It's an important week for our generation, and it's great to be able to kick it off with this event at the law school, " said Daniel Honeycutt, Lambda's executive director. "This event allowed students to hear about the intricacies of the issues at play."
Maryland State Senator and Professor Jamin Raskin moderated the discussion. He sponsored Maryland's same-sex marriage law, which took effect in January of 2013. Panelists included an academic, legal practitioner, and non-profit director, who covered the background of both cases, offered insight about the arguments to be made before the court, and discussed possible decisions.
"It's clear where America is headed and where the right side of history is," said panelist Evan Wolfson, founder and executive director of Freedom to Marry. "Will the Supreme Court feel the momentum, look to its legacy, and do the right thing?"
According to Nan Hunter, panelist and professor at Georgetown Law Center, there has been an enormous shift in the political and social landscape from when the Hollingsworth v. Perry case was initiated in 2009. Perry centers on California's Proposition 8. The question before the High Court is whether Proposition 8 violates the 14th amendment, which prevents states from denying citizens equal protection under the law.
"Perry is the tougher case," said Luke Platzer, panelist and partner at Jenner & Block. "Clearly, intermediate scrutiny should apply and be both a fundamental liberty and equally protected. I'm a little skeptical on the standing issue. While I have strong view about the merits, I'm not sure that they're properly before the Court."
The Defense Against Marriage Act case U.S. v. Windsor challenges the constitutionality of defining marriage as a legal union between a man and a woman. In other words, whether Congress can pass legislation treating same-sex couples who are already married different from heterosexual couples. Platzer worked extensively on the DOMA case in the lower courts, and said that Windsor is a good case to have before the Court because it involves a "sympathetic plaintiff with a great story."
When plaintiff Edith Windsor's spouse passed away, she paid estate taxes that surpassed those of what a different-sex couple would pay. Windsor's same-sex marriage was recognized in New York, but not recognized by the federal government.
"DOMA should fall…I view Windsor as another Romer case," said Platzer, speaking of the 1996 case dealing with civil rights and state laws. "DOMA clearly violates equal protection guarantee." Wolfson argued that the end goal, no matter the Court's ruling in June, should be to end discrimination and exclusion, and see that marriages are protected no matter where one lives.
"The logical questions of constitutional analysis in the same-sex marriage issue are surprisingly easy," said Raskin. "Is there a fundamental right to marry under Due Process that is being denied to gay and lesbian citizens? Yes. Is there any rational basis for treating gay people differently when it comes to their right to marry? No, there's not. So these laws offend both Due Process and Equal Protection. The Defense of Marriage Act is especially egregious because it withholds federal benefits from gay people who are actually married. Proposition 8 in California actually revoked the right to marry from the gay community. These things, as a matter of logic, are plainly unacceptable. The hard part of the case, made harder by so many little detour routes related to standing questions, is the politics of the Court doing the right thing. But, for those of us, who really believe in the Constitution, the Court should forget about the politics and decide the law."
A Narrow Decision?
As the first day of arguments got underway, second year law student Ryan Watson headed to the Court to show his support for gay marriage. Although representatives from all sides of the issue were present, Watson said the crowd was more energetic than heated.
"I know that merely standing outside the Court chanting is not going to change the justice's opinions, but it's great to have that sort of camaraderie with others," Watson said. "It was very unifying." Watson has been following the Proposition 8 since the district decision in 2010.
"I'm not optimistic that the Court will make a broad decision," Watson said. "I think they'll make the right decision, but they'll do so narrowly."

PHILADELPHIA – Normally doubles partners, University of Pennsylvaniajunior Sol Eskenazi and sophomore Sonya Latycheva were supposed to play each other in the Flight A singles final Sunday at the Cissie Leary Invitational. However,Eskenazi won the title by default since Latycheva was unable to continue after suffering an injury in her semifinal victory.
Eskenazi is the first Quaker to win the Cissie Leary Invitational singles titlesince Connie Hsu in 2010. Eskenazi had previously won the doubles title as a freshman with partner Jaime Yapp-Shing in 2011.
It was an easy road to the final for Eskenazi, who did not drop a set and only lost 14 games the entire tournament. She already had to play one of her teammates, freshman Luba Vazhenina, in the quarterfinals on Saturday. Sunday's semifinal roundfeatured tricky wind conditions, but Eskenazi remained focused and got up an early break in each set against Maryland's Kristina Hovsepyan and never looked back, triumphing 6-4, 6-4.
Meanwhile, Latycheva had an intense battle with Princeton's Sivan Krems in her own semifinal match that lasted about three hours. The wind wreaked havoc all day and Latycheva was able to force a tiebreaker in the first set, but she ended up dropping it 7-6(6). She didn't let that faze her, though, and stormed back in the second set, getting the break in the first game and going on to win 6-4. It was on serve in the deciding third set until Latycheva managed to break Krems at 6-5 to take the match, 6-7(6), 6-4, 7-5.
In doubles, the Red and Blue had three pairings reach the quarterfinals on Saturday. The tandem of freshman Kana Daniel and senior Jaime Yapp-Shing won all of their previous matches 8-1, but were defeated in a close 8-5 match to the eventual doubles champions from Columbia,Bianca Sanon and Kanika Vaidya. Penn's No. 1 doubles team, Eskenazi and Latycheva, were trying to make it2-for-2 in both the singles and doubles semifinals, but it was not meant to be as the duo fell, 8-5, to the runner-ups from Cornell, Alex D'Ascenzo and Dena Tanenbaum.
Eskenazi and Latycheva will participate in the 2013 Rivera/ITA All-American Doubles Championship in Pacific Palisades, Calif. next weekend; the duo is the No. 36 ranked team in the nation. Eskenazi will also take part in the singles championship.

I'm going to launch a service that will need some security.What is the best SSL certificate service out there ?
I'm tempted to use the one provided by Namecheap.com.Any opinions ?
I've used namecheap before...pricing is good...have had no problems.
i would highly recommend VeriSign / Symatec since they're used by almost all prominent websites out there such as facebook, amazon and ebay for example..... but other SSL providers should do the job as well..
Hi Marcel
What do you need to achieve? Is it just encryption or do you need to instil trust in order to encourage your customers to buy from you?
Just encryption when they post and receive data.I won't be asking for their credit cards data or other financial data.
Then a low cost solution would be a RapidSSL or equivalent. They are owned by one of the major players but are a low cost cert that is issued quickly.
Hi marcel,
To choose right SSL for your website is very important decision, if you are using site with multiple domain than you can go for the Multi domain SSL certificate, if your site has sub domains than you can go for the Wildcard SSL certificate, to secure your site as well as sub domains. Or you can go for the Standard SSL Certificate for you website like RapidSSL certificate, GeoTrust QuickSSL Premium, or Thawte SSL123. By choosing right SSL you can improve your visitors web experience with trust and confidence, also you can select the EV SSL which shows green address or any SSL which is come with Trust Site Seal by site seal and Green address bar you can gain your customer's trust and confidence and your visitors feel free to share the personal data with your site.
Go to godaddy.com for best SSL certificate.
What makes their fries better than everyone else's burger?
It is very important to know which types of services you will be offering and what type of security solution you are looking for?Do you want to secure multiple sub-domains? multiple websites or single domain? do you need anti-malware scan?
kindly answers all these question, i can accordingly suggest best SSL product that suits your requirements.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/8/2013 (1455 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Given the junk-hunting nature of its premise, it's probably fitting to say this about Storage Wars Canada: it'll take a bit of searching to locate it, and those who do likely won't feel they've uncovered a hidden treasure.
Instead, viewers who tune in the debut of Storage Wars Canada (Thursday, Aug. 29, at 8 p.m. on OLN), the north-of-the-border adaptation on what surely stands as one of TV's most overextended reality franchises, will be faced with a retread of a tired format that offers little in the way of fresh personalities or regional quirks that might enliven a concept that ran out of new ideas about two spinoff cycles ago.
Simply put, it's the same old same old, without anything distinctly Canuck-ish that might make folks feel at least a whiff of patriotic attachment to it.
The format isn't just familiar -- Storage Wars Canada employs a beat-by-beat recitation of the script that has been used, with diminishing effect, in the original A&E series Storage Wars and its two U.S.-cable spinoffs, Storage Wars: Texas and Storage Wars: New York.
The only difference is the cast of characters, and Storage Wars Canada's crew of locker-seeking scavengers isn't a very appealing or engaging bunch. The central core consists of constantly feuding couple Cindy Hayden and Rick Coffill, who've been given the nickname The Veterans, the father-and-son duo Paul and Bogart Kenny (High Roller and The Kid), abrasive guy Roy Dirnbeck (The Instigator) and tight-skirted newcomer Ursula Stolf (The Knock Out). Auction-biz veteran Don Reinhart is in charge of running up the bids.
What a show whose action takes place mostly indoors is doing on OLN, which used to stand for Outdoor Life Network, would probably be a question worth asking, if it weren't for the fact the U.S. original has its home on what used to be known as the Arts & Entertainment network. Let's just say the Farthest From Original Mandate Cable Network Derby now has another sprinter in the field.
From the opening moments of its premi®re episode, Storage Wars Canada feels both limp and like it's trying way too hard. The rapid-fire banter aimed at establishing this incarnation's personalities seems awkwardly forced, and the show's first auction of abandoned lockers -- at a storage facility in Aurora, Ont. -- is filled with units whose most interesting contents are conveniently shrouded by blankets that afford opportunities for the signature Storage Wars cut-to-commercial "Aha!" moments.
Given the original series' recent troubles with former cast member Dave Hester filing a lawsuit over claims the show is contrived and its lockers "seeded" with valuable items, one might have imagined a new spinoff might work harder at avoiding moments that smack of fakery.
That issue notwithstanding, the most perplexing thing about Storage Wars Canada is that it devotes so little effort to being, well, Canadian. Even Canadian Pickers, a pale imitation of U.S. cable's somewhat charming American Pickers, at least makes an effort to create a sense of place that makes up for its lack of originality.
Storage Wars Canada is just more -- or, perhaps, less -- of the same. Even the most devoted followers of the original and its threadbare stateside imitators will likely consider this too much of a no-longer-all-that-good thing.
If someone asks viewers of this debut if Storage Wars Canada is worth a second look, there probably won't be many whose response is "Yuuuuuuup!"
