EMCO Gears and Action Express Racing a Winning Combination at Indy
Posted by: newsla on Aug 02, 2014 - 06:02 AM
EMCO Gears and Action Express Racing a Winning Combination at Indy
EMCO Gears and Action Express Racing combined for a milestone and memorable victory in last Fridayâs Brickyard Grand Prix at Indianapolis Motor Speedway where the No. 5 Action Express Corvette Daytona Prototype was driven to the win by Christian Fittipaldi and João Barbosa.
Adding to its January victory in the season-opening Rolex 24 at the equally legendary Daytona International Speedway, Actionâs wins at both iconic tracks were supported in a major way by EMCO components and personnel.
Action Express is one of EMCOâs premier team partners and uses the all-American companyâs gears and related componentry and assemblies. The team is also one of the first to take advantage of EMCOâs trackside service program, which assigns a fulltime and factory-trained technician to participating teams. Actionâs EMCO technician was once again a fully integrated member of the team, with them from the onset of preliminary testing straight through Barbosa crossing the legendary line of bricks for the race win last Friday evening. The win put the No. 5 team and drivers back on top of the IMSA TUDOR Championship standings by two points, 249 â 247, with three 2014 races remaining
âThis was a new track layout for everyone, and being able to achieve the best ratios possible was key,â Barbosa said. âEMCO was always there and they did a phenomenal job with all the requests we had. This was a tough track for the transmissions and, once again, they performed at a high level, giving us another trouble free race. EMCO gears, steering and the related components held up to the rigors of this up and down race and a challenging Indy track.â
EMCO is well familiar with Indianapolis Motor Speedway and took its first steps into the sport at the Brickyard over 50 years ago with one of the Speedwayâs legends, A.J. Foyt. EMCO later went on to win on the 2.5-mile oval in Indy cars and NASCAR stock cars but the Brickyard Grand Prix win was the first at the Speedway in sports cars.
âWinning at Indy never gets old,â said Dan Cota, EMCO Gears Director of Racing. âThe dominating win by the Action Express and the No. 5 Corvette and Coyote chassis is the latest in a long line of success by EMCO Gears at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. EMCO Gears has been helping teams succeed since 1962 when A.J. Foyt needed help to overcome transmission gear train failures. EMCO Gears has won at Indy in Indy cars, NASCAR stock cars and now IMSA sports cars.â
In addition to the accomplished history at Indy, EMCO Gears has been involved in North American sports car racing for over 30 years with its proven gearboxes. The all-American manufacturer offers much more than race and championship-winning transmissions, however, and supplies a variety of technology and services for Action Express and other top IMSA competitors.
Designated the GA46-5.0, the EMCO gearbox used by Action Express and others is designed to have a long cycle life so no major changes are needed to the transmission at a race of any length. The speed-gear section of the transmission is also of a cassette design, easily removable for pre-race inspection or quick repairs. The gearbox case and its components are cast or milled using superior-strength-graded aluminum as holding gears and bearings at their designed positioning is everything in transmission reliability, particularly on a track as challenging as Indyâs twisty road yet fast road course.
âA very large part of the winning equation in all racing is efficiency of operation,â Cota said. âEMCO Gears has worked to manufacturer the strongest most fuel efficient gear train possible. That work became apparent with Action Express winning on a two pit stop strategy. Not only was the No. 5 the fastest car on the track the entire race it was also the most fuel efficient.â
EMCO technical components supplied to Action Express in total include not only gearboxes but also the manufacturerâs equally strong axle, tripod axle and rack-and-pinion steering assemblies.
While the gearboxes and Chevrolet V8 engines combine for the potent drivetrain on the Action Express Corvettes, it was EMCOâs axles and in-house designed tripod axle system that capably transferred the power to the track. A result of a long-term process of near misses, the tripod axle is an onboard component that is a critical marriage between a three-point joint and the internal dimensioning of the housing. The combination keeps the various moving parts in and coming out of the gearbox from crashing into each other, a critical balance that must be maintained for hours on end in IMSA TUDOR Championship endurance races.
The final EMCO component used by Action Express is the companyâs rack-and-pinion steering system. EMCO manufactures its steering system with the same attention to detail given to a precision set of gears or a critical axle assembly. A light-weight, billet-aluminum housing is engineered to correctly hold the rack and pinion at the designed mounting distance while quality gear geometry makes for a very smooth operating system.
Other EMCO partner teams that shined at Indy included SRT Motorsports that won its first GTLM class race of the year with Jonathan Bomarito and Kuno Wittmer in the No. 93 Dodge Viper SRT GTS-R. The similarly EMCO-equipped No. 33 Viper Exchange.com Dodge Viper GT3-R of Ben Keating and Jeroen Bleekemolen also scored its second-straight GT Daytona (GTD) class podium finish in the IMSA TUDOR Championship, with third at the Brickyard following the teamâs first win one race earlier at Mosport.

SOUND OFF World Premiere Exclusive: 'The Goodbye Song' By Joe Iconis
Featured on the new Ghostlight album THE JOE ICONIS ROCK AND ROLL JAMBOREE and soon to be performed full-out on NBC's musical drama series SMASH, take a listen to this BroadwayWorld World Premiere Exclusive of "The Goodbye Song" as perfromed by Jason SweetTooth Williams and The Family from the sensational new album saluting the songwriter.
Joe Iconis is the subject of this week's InDepth InterView and this is some of what he had to say about the stupendous track:
"'The Goodbye Song' was written a few years ago... and I have performed it a few times... I really wrote "The Goodbye Song" about my cousin who died of cancer. He had two little kids and I wrote it as if he was talking to his sons and trying to make it all OK - to make death OK in a way. I liked writing a sort of celebratory song about death, really... It was another one of those songs that is really about two things because it was also about the ending of E.T. - when he says goodbye to Elliot. It actually uses words from the final scene of E.T. ... [On the album] I have a lot of favorites, but I think 'The Goodbye Song' has probably the most special place in my heart - I just love the arrangement so much. We recorded it with all my friends and family and everyone - they are all there in the choir at the end. So, it sounds the way that I always hoped it would sound on the album and I am really proud of it and happy that people will be hearing it soon."

It's simple, and free.
Concerns regarding self-help, gross motor skills, and social skills are not shown to be associated with true problems. Concerns regarding speech-language development or behavioral problems are highly associated with true speech-language or behavioral problems (Glascoe, 1994).
Glascoe further explored this concept by studying the nature of the relationship between children's cognitive and adaptive behavior skills and parent's concerns. Results of his study indicated: nineteen percent of the children had global delays, including mental retardation, slow learning/developmental delay, and functional developmental delay; five percent of the parents had concerns about global development; seven percent were concerned about school skills; eight percent were concerned about fine or gross motor skills; nine percent were concerned about receptive language skills; twenty-three percent were concerned about personal-social problems; twenty-seven percent were concerned about speech-expressive language; and most commonly, fifty-one percent were concerns about behavior. It was concluded that relationships between types of parental concern and types of developmental problems were not found when children had global developmental delays; concerns regarding behavior were the strongest indicator of global developmental delay. Parents' concerns are therefore viewed at best as a prescreening tool and cannot be taken at face value.
Flipsen (1995) reports that mothers tend to be better than all other listeners (including fathers) at identifying words being spoken by speech-delayed children with normal hearing; Thus the overall superior performance of mothers was supported. However, different studies challenge this concept and argue that their findings indicate no differences were found between mothers or teachers at identifying behaviors in children.

When relationships break down, mistrust is always at the heart of the heartache.
And the news that Saudi Arabia has reportedly detained a vulture that happened to keep a GPS transmitter for company seems but one more example of this everlasting truth.
Yes, I did say "vulture."
According to Israeli National News, the vulture not only happened to be GPS-aided, but also had a ring upon which was inscribed "Tel Aviv University."
Now, I don't know about you, but if I was sending vultures out to spy on people, I might not so readily attach such an obvious suggestion of provenance.
Indeed, Israeli National News suggests that this rather vicious and heartless bird was part of research into discovering what vultures do in their spare time when they're not looking mean and dismembering carcasses.
The Saudi newspaper Al-Weeam reported, however, said that the vulture took a rest in the grounds of a sheik's house and was characterized by a "foul odor coming out of its mouth--proof of a Zionist plot."
Although I myself suspect plots in just about every human action and utterance, I am still prepared to be persuaded by the Israeli news service, which suggested that the vulture capture was another element of unnecessary regional paranoia.
The news service pointed to the fact that some in Egypt reportedly believed that a mean-spirited shark recently attacking tourists there was, like the vulture, also the work of Israel foreign intelligence agency Mossad.
Researchers from Israel's Nature and Parks Authority told Israeli National News that seven vultures had been released over the last few years and that four had reached Saudi Arabia. Hauntingly, they said one was still in Saudi Arabia, after enjoying a vacation in the Sudan.
Some might wonder whether a GPS-laden vulture might somehow reveal more secret information than all of the drones and satellites that seem to be wafting around the earth these days.
Still, with suitably meaty interrogation and incentive, perhaps the vulture will talk. Or perhaps Julian Assange might reveal the real truth--that these satellited vultures were the work of Iran. Or Iraq. Or, who knows, Iceland.

It was a way to keep our relationship alive. I started taking the pictures when I was away at school and I couldn't see my boyfriend very often. I thought if I took the pictures it would spice things up – tease him a little so he would miss me more.
I was slightly nervous about sending them at first. On one occasion I went through his phone to make sure he was deleting them. Still, after knowing him for ten years, I trusted him and I would never have dreamed he would turn around and put my pictures out there on the internet for everyone to see.
We broke up when I found out he was cheating on me. I hadn't been able to see him as often as before because I was attending a university that was an hour and a half away from our home town. I started dating someone new shortly after. The new guy was mainly a rebound, but I needed to move on.
To this day I will never know what caused him to lash out. It's something my therapist and I discuss all the time. She said I just need to move past that, that I'll never get that answer. I just didn't think he would ever do what he did. It was way out of character.
I didn't know the pictures were online for a long time. Three months after they were posted, an anonymous person emailed me. He explained in detail where the pictures were, who he thought posted them and why he thought it was that person. The email was so descriptive that I have to believe it was someone I know. Chances are the anonymous emailer was a mutual friend of my ex and I – someone who wanted me to know what was being done to me, but who didn't want to get involved.
Finding out that my private photos had been posted online created a feeling that words can't describe. It was like getting punched repeatedly in the gut until I was laying on the ground, helpless. I couldn't fight back. I felt powerless, betrayed and hurt. I didn't know what to do next and I didn't know who to turn to at the time. I felt so many emotions at once, but mostly, I was sad.
During the three months before I learned that the pictures were online, I had been trying to rekindle my friendship with my ex. We were having friendly conversations and even hanging out. But after we'd spend time together, he would go home and post pictures of me naked, talk to people while pretending to be me, and give out my personal information. I had people looking for me. I've always been one to trust easily, so this betrayal felt like a knife in my back. Over the past year and a half that knife has been turned over and over again.
When I first saw the photos, I did what anyone would do: I cried. A lot. Then, I called my best friend. She had just started a new job, but she left work right away. She was at my doorstep in twenty minutes. She consoled me, furious as can be, and took me to the police station. We didn't know what else to do. I tried calling my ex, trying to give him that one chance to redeem himself. He sent me to voicemail. I couldn't be happier that I made the choice to go to the police.
The police took my case seriously from day one. They questioned my ex and when he finally admitted to it he was arrested on the spot. Still, his charges were downgraded to harassment. He got community service and some anger management classes, a psychological evaluation and a small fine. To me, it was a slap on the wrist, and he didn't even end up with a criminal background.
It didn't end there. Even after being arrested, my ex continued to post pictures. I was granted a final restraining order. He was arrested for a second time, for violating the restraining order and invasion of privacy. Invasion of privacy is a charge that criminalizes revenge porn in New Jersey, where we both live. It holds a sentence of three to five years. Currently, my ex is pleading not-guilty, which means that we are going to trial. If he would plead guilty he might only get one year in county jail, but if we go to trial he faces up to six years in state prison, and I'll have to relive the whole thing again in court.
Following this experience, I went through a very dark time. I spent a year and a half obsessing about it. I let it take over every thought, every action. I wouldn't tell people how I really felt, but I was afraid for myself. I didn't want to do anything – I didn't want to leave where I was living at the time, didn't want to go to my parents' house because my ex had given out their address, didn't want to go to class. I continued to pay for school but never attended.
It wasn't until a few months ago that I was able to let go a little. I'm getting there, slowly and with each day. Talking to my therapist has helped a lot. I have a hard time understanding how I could have someone in my life for a decade and then they could turn around and do something so malicious. There are questions I have for my ex that will never be answered. It's hard to let go.
But I have learned a lot. I was in a relationship when I found out about the pictures. He wasn't very supportive and didn't want to come to court or to the police station. I took my friends instead, and those friendships only became stronger. In the end it didn't work out with that boyfriend, but, as cliche as it sounds, I've discovered who my true friends are.
These days I am with an amazing guy and he is extremely supportive. He tries to attend all my court dates to be there for me. He helps me through the tough days, the days when I just break down. He always reminds me of how strong I am. I definitely lucked out.
My new boyfriend knew from the beginning what I was going through. I try not to keep it a secret. I don't want to build a friendship or relationship and then break the news; I prefer to let them take it in from day one. If its something they can't accept, then they know where the door is. I don't have time for judgment, and I sure don't want people who pity me.
Now, I volunteer for End Revenge Porn. I respond to victims' emails and I remind them that they are not alone. Knowing that I am helping someone else helps me get through each day. I also started blogging for the site. Helping this organization has opened my eyes to so much and helped me deal with my own situation. I realize now that staying quiet doesn't help, but speaking out does.
When I look back now I see how strong I've become. People always tell me, "If that happened to me I don't think I could have gotten through it like you have." What they don't realize is that you have no choice. I feel like this experience has shaped me into a stronger, more independent person. If this had to happen all over again, I wouldn't change a thing, but I would not wish this on anyone else. It's a hell of a price to pay for just trying to spice up your relationship.

CASABLANCA (Dec. 11)
There are 158, 532 Jews in Morocco, according to results of the 1960 census which were made public here today. The total shows 160, 032 Jews in the country, but the census was taken before this year's catastrophic earthquake at Agadir, where 1, 500 Jews perished.
Of the total, 71, 175 Jews live in this city, constituting seven and one-half percent of the total population. Fifty-five percent of all the Jews in the country live in Casablanca. Marrakesh and Meknes. One small village, Tarfaya, on the edge of the Sahara Desert, listed one Jewish inhabitant.
Earlier figures showed there were 250,000 Jews in this country in 1947, and about 200,000 by 1952, The decrease in Jewish population is accounted for by the large-scale emigration of Moroccan Jews, that began in 1947. Most of the emigrants went to Israel, while some went to France. There are about 8,000 Moroccan Jews in Paris alone.
(The New York Times reported today from Rabat that Jews in Morocco feel that their freedom of movement is "gravely restricted" by the difficulties which the Moroccan authorities are making in the way of Jewish emigration from the country. Also by the fact that the authorities are refusing to renew passports of Moroccan Jews who had lived abroad more than a year–a measure which affects about 8,000 Moroccan Jews in Paris. The Jews in Morocco, the Times reports, also resent the fact that they cannot communicate with their relatives in Israel by mail or cable. They are also unhappy over a government order which forces Jewish schools to accept Moslem children.)


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- At ValuEngine we track three consumer-oriented sectors. Based upon my analysis of the distribution of buy rated stocks vs. sell rated stocks, consumer discretionary stocks are skewed to the sell rated category, while consumer staples and retail-whole stocks are more heavily weighted to buy rated stocks.This dispersion is a sign of a weakening economy as the number of sell rated consumer discretionary indicates to me that consumers just keep their hands on their wallets, and as consumer sentiment remains well below normal. The consumer discretionary sector may be just 4.3% overvalued, but among the 437 stocks in this sector there are only seven buy rated names, with 47 sell rated names and eight rated strong sell. To me this configuration gives the sector an underweight rating. The consumer staples sector is most overvalued sector by 14.6%, but among the 267 stocks in this sector 125 are rated buy with only 11 rated sell and four rated strong sell. Only four of the buy rated names are projected to gain more than 7.5% over the next 12 months. With 96.8% of these buy ratings projected to gain just 5.0% to 7.5%, I consider these ratings as weak buys. To me this configuration gives the sector an equal-weight rating. The retail-wholesale sector is 12.4% overvalued. This sector has 358 stocks with two strong buys and 231 buys, and just 17 sells and three strong sells. Within this sector 52 of the buy rated stocks should gain more than 7.5% over the next 12 months. I give this sector an overweight rating as 65.1% of all stocks in the sector are rated buy, and with 52 stocks projected to gain more than 7.5% over the next 12 months. Today I profile seven of the retail-wholesale stocks that made the cut.

" Type: Oats "
This is I think the newer version of the original which is the almond one and I think their is a raisin version too. This cereal is made by Nestle and has been around for about a year now I think. I quite often see the adverts for this where the dad tries to persuade his son that it tastes horribly and he wouldn't want to eat it thereby ensuring he gets the whole box to himself. Basically this cereal is toasted oat and wheat flakes with oat pices which is all covered with honey.
The box is 400g. I have yet to see any big sizes yet. It is mostly white with the title written in huge letters on the front. Then underneath the title there are loads of words like 'crispy', 'delcicious' and so on as if they had a brainstorming session and just decided to put any words associate with the product on the box. It's a technique I quite like actually. They have also done all the writing on the front of the bx in yellows and browns probably to emphasise and reinforce the honey and oat aspect. There is also the traditional picture of cereal with milk splashing around on the front. A 30g portion contains 114 calories but once you add milk it'll probably go up a bit. The back of the pack reminds us that Nestle make all theeir cereals with wholegrain and there are a number of pictures showing the other cereals that they produce. Also, on the side of the box there is a picture of some Oats and more cereal bars that are coming soon apparently. I don't why every cereal has to be made into a bar. I find it an odd concept.
The flakes themselves vary in size. They are light brown in colour, a bit paler than say bran flakes and you can also see the honey on them as they have a glaze coating. The pices of oat are really tiny and mostly they are just stuck on to the flakes. From time to time you do see an oat cluster but there aren't as many as I would have expected or would have liked. When you do find one they are nice though and taste very authentic. The flakes themselves I was not so keen on as the honey coating I just found to be too much, too sickly sweet. I would have preferred it had they use a little less.
So overall it's a nice cereal. It tries to be healty by having oats and wheat but the over generosity with the honey detracts from that and I just find it a bit to sweet for me to be eating first thing. I would eat it again but prefer Clusters, also made by Nestlé, which I find similar but not so sweet.
Waw, it was so cold the other week and there still is in the very morning, so, the first think that I do when I get to the office is to prepare in just 2-3 minutes my favorite oats, Nestle Honey Oats and More. I never thought I could have cereals as breakfast or cereals as a healthy and tasty meal. Its easy to prepare it, you put it in a bowl for maximum 3 minutes, pour 100ml milk and give it the heating in the microwave. To be honest with you, there is enough honey inside the packet, so it would not be necessary to add anything, but I do prefer it with another spoon. If your honey is natural, you could do the same, is healthy and yammy.
Milk, honey and oats together is your recipe to prevent the cold this winter, to keep the viruses and the flu away, so, instead to have a vaccination in the beginning of November, keep yourself warm with a big, healthy, tasty portion of oats and honey.
The price is £2.50 and you can have it for about 2 weeks if you serve it every day in a medium portion and not like me in a double one:)
Taste it! You'll be content!
It's always said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day because you're breaking your fast after sleeping and need to fuel your body to start up again. For that reason, it's important to choose something that you actually want to wake up to and look forward to eating, whilst making a healthy choice. I came across Honey, Oats & More and thought they'd be a good choice.
Nestle has recently expanded its range of breakfast cereals to bring a bit more flavour & texture whilst keeping it healthy. Nestle are a very popular brand and so I knew that with their nutritional knowledge I'd be getting a quality product. I gave these a try when they were on offer in Tesco as otherwise they're rather expencive when you compare them to similar cheaper brands that give you more servings for your money. For £2.42 you get a 375g box. The suggested serving size is 30g, but typically when I fill my small bowl it's more like 40-45g. With that in mind, the box wont last for too long, especially if it's eaten as a daily breakfast cereal. Per 30g the cereal contains 114 calories, 1.8g fibre and 1.6g fat (not including milk). They're also packed with vitamins and minerals so it's a great addition to a healthy diet. The issue of sugar has been debated more recently because it counteracts the health benefits in cereals, and these contain 10% of your RDA of sugar. I tend to ignore this though, because I was a huge fan of this cereal when I first started eating it.
They're described as 'crispy delicious flakes' and 'baby oats' that are 'drizzled in honey'. They're brown in colour and you can see the light coloured oats that are stuck to the flakes. The flakes themselves are quite crisp and fairly thick as they've got a thin coating of honey. I don't tend to use much milk on my cereal anyway, so they're very crunchy and satisfying. The taste is fairly sweet and they've got a strong flavour so they're far from your boring breakfast flakes. I loved these when I first started eating them, I couldn't get enough of them. I'm not sure if it's because I'd eaten so many of them, or because they introduced more 'clusters' (lots of little balls of oats which are hard and I used to pick as many out before eating as possible), but I've gone off these slightly. They tend to make me feel slightly sick these days, so perhaps a smaller portion would be good as they've got enough flavour and a smaller amount would still be equally satisfying.
Overall, you wont know if you like them until you try them but I'd definitely recommend you give them a go if you're looking for a crunchy, healthy and tasty cereal for breakfast/lunch/snack.

Fixing hole in courtyard
March 31, 2009
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
The large hole in the Campus Center courtyard will likely remain uncovered and marked off with caution tape through the first week of April while Maintenance and Operations determines if they will fix a leaking pipe, or completely replace and reroute it.
Maintenance workers were first alerted to a pool of rust-colored water forming in the courtyard of the Campus Center on the morning of March 19. After a preliminary examination of the scene, and consulting some plans, they determined that the water was most likely the result of a broken underground pipe.
A jackhammer was brought in, and workers began digging through the concrete surface of the courtyard in an attempt to locate the leak. By the morning of the next day, the leak had been located and isolated.
"It's one of the old steel chiller lines that carries water to the cooling systems for the SGA offices and newspaper classrooms," Keith Keevil, manager of Maintenance and Operations, said. "We turned on the cooling for the time this year and we got a leak."
Keevil stressed that the leaking pipe is not a part of the "chiller loop.""That system is just fine," he said.The college is currently looking at options that may include replacing the whole pipe, and rerouting it to the roof of the building. "We don't want to just patch this leak and then have to dig it up again somewhere else two months down the road," Keevil said. But he does caution that the costs of such an extensive project may force them to just temporally repair the existing pipe."That's why we are leaving the hole open for now, so we can have contractors come and bid on the job," Keevil said. "But we'll cover it as soon as we can, even if it is with steel plates, just to keep things safe."Keevil pointed out that his office is working with a sense of urgency to get the system repaired and operating. "We could just cap it off and fix it somewhere down the road, but who knows when it will hit 90 degrees," he said.

Two Republican candidates with significant differences in their conservatism will compete for their party's nomination for Ohio's 14th Congressional District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, with incumbent David Joyce (R, Ohio-14) facing challenger Matthew Lynch (R, Ohio House 76) in the May 6 primary.
The winner of the GOP primary will face democrat Michael Wager and libertarian David Macko for the seat in the November general election. Both Wager and Macko are unopposed in their respective parties' primary races.
While Joyce touts longtime GOP standards of fiscal conservatism and too-often, too-harmful legislation, Lynch is running on a platform of "Faith, Family and Freedom" and argues that Joyce is not conservative enough.
The incumbent Joyce, of Russell Township, was elected in 2012 following the retirement of Steven LaTourette and said he will look to repeal the Affordable Care Act (commonly known as Obamacare) and focus on job growth in Ohio's 14th district.
"When I was elected in 2012, I pledged that I would fight every single day in Washington for Northeast Ohio," Joyce said April 25. "Since then, I've woken up every morning remembering that promise and the people I represent in Ohio's 14th Congressional District.
"That's why I've fought to get Washington on a budget, repeal Obamacare, and improve the economy so we can bring more jobs back to Northeast Ohio. Together we've accomplished a lot, but the work isn't done yet."
Joyce said he plans to continue to protect taxpayers from what he considers wasteful spending and harmful legislation.
"I'll continue to make cutting wasteful spending a top priority, and not just by talking about it," Joyce said. "I actually introduced a bill that would cut $200 billion in government waste and duplicative programs. That's just Northeast Ohio common sense. I also returned more than $100,000 of my office's budget to the U.S. Treasury last year."
And Joyce said the "economic powerhouse" of the Great Lakes region is a crucial asset to all of Ohio.
"I'm also fighting for the Great Lakes, Northeast Ohio's greatest economic and environmental resource, by ensuring Lake Erie receives the funding it needs to continue to be an economic powerhouse and source of job creation."
LYNCH, representative of Ohio's 76th state congressional district in the Ohio House of Representatives and an attorney from Bainbridge Township, calls into question the incumbent's voting record.
Lynch said Joyce has shown an unwillingness to "stand up to" the democratic administration as well as "liberal republicans" in his own party.
"I think it's clear if you don't have the courage to stand up to your own party leadership, you'll never have the courage to stand up to Barack Obama," Lynch said. "Congressman Joyce voted to give the president unlimited ability to spend money and spend us into oblivion in Washington ... I never would have voted for that.
"I would have stood strong against the piling on of overwhelming debt onto the backs of our children and grandchildren and protected them from the financial crisis which is undoubtedly going to come if we don't change our way.
"In this environment, you have to stand strong because we're at a crisis point in our country and frankly, my opponent just doesn't recognize that."
Running in the primary on a platform of "Faith, Family and Freedom," Lynch said his campaign has resonated with voters who wish to see a return of conservative values in Washington, D.C. A major issue he hopes to address in Ohio's 14th District is illegal immigration and how it impacts the job market.
"We have to get the illegal immigrant problem under control because this is a job issue," Lynch said. "The illegal worker population is not only taking away jobs from American workers in the 14th District, but it is driving down wages.
"We just cannot allow it to continue and my opponent has failed to take any stance on this issue, but he appears postured to go forward with John Boehner and the rest of the republicans and grant amnesty to 50 million illegals in this country. That is going to hurt American workers and it's going to hurt workers in the 14th district."
Ohio's District 14 contains large portions of northeastern Summit County, all of Ashtabula, Lake, and Geauga counties, eastern Cuyahoga County, northern Trumbull County and northern Portage County.

Blackberry-Red Wine Gelatin
Juicy blackberries lend sweet-tart flavor to this mint-garnished summer dessert; red wine spices up its fruity taste and adds depth. Choose a full-bodied red such as zinfandel or syrah to complement the berries.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Photography: Kirsten Strecker
Source: Martha Stewart Living, August 2005
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup full-bodied red wine, such as zinfandel
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 pint blackberries (12 ounces)
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Add 1/2 cup water and the apple juice to a medium bowl; sprinkle with gelatin. Let soften about 5 minutes. Combine wine and sugar in a small saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Reserve 8 blackberries for garnish; add remaining blackberries to the saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Slowly stir hot wine mixture into gelatin mixture. Transfer bowl to ice-water bath, and stir gently until cool, about 5 minutes.
Pour mixture into a 9-by-5-by-2 1/2-inch nonreactive metal loaf pan. Refrigerate, covered, until set, about 45 minutes, or up to overnight. To unmold, set pan in warm water until gelatin loosens, about 2 seconds; invert onto a cutting board. Use a knife to break seal along edges if necessary. Cut gelatin into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Divide among 4 small bowls. Garnish each with 2 blackberries and mint leaves.

All Android applications categories
Published: 2011-07-14, by Manu Galvez.
The smartphone you use is a matter of taste. For this reason (and surprisingly) some of your friends don't use Android. But no matters, the Android's open-minded and its developers bring you apps like this one.
LiveProfile lets you send messages, photos, videos, update your status, customize your profile and much more. The only requirement is that your friends also use it.
Regarding messages, LiveProfile allows you to send text messages and media files really fast and wherever in the world. It shows the status sent, delivered and read. LiveProfile is always connected and works with push notifications (what save battery).
LiveProfile has been thought also as a "social network" messenger. Thus you can share your status and profile and customize it to your liking. What's more, it's integrated with Facebook, Twitter and other social networks.
About the interface, it's quite similar to other cross-platform messenger. Colored bubbles, black background, tabs on the top and list of contacts. It has to be said though that this is one of the best-looking.
The developer says that LiveProfile is faster and has more feature than Kik, WhatsApp, PingChat!, KakaoTalk and many other cross-platform messengers. The problem of this apps is that they depend on the amount of users that use it. And this is a matter of features and performance, but it has also an empathy side.
LiveProfile has all that you need in a cross-platform messenger. Give it a go and if you like it, try to convince your friends to use it instead of others cross-platform messenger.

Live Commentary
Sam Allardyce made the right decisions today, and the most important one was starting a not fully fit Andy Carroll. The England striker was unplayable at times (he's been called that before) and he proved the difference in the end. Thanks for reading everyone, I've been Tim Poole and you've been a great audience. Full time: West Ham 1 Swansea 0!
A terrific second half performance from the hosts gives them only their second win in 10 and an admirable yet tame effort from the visitors sees their seven match unbeaten run come to a shuddering halt.
IT'S ALL OVER! And Andy Carroll's second half header ends up grabbing West Ham a thoroughly deserved win.
90' + 4'Carroll desperately looks to keep the ball in the corner to waste time...
90' + 2'The visitors are still pushing for an equaliser here but the hosts are doing all they can to deny them!
90' + 1'SubstitutionKevin Nolan Emanuel Pogatetz
90' + 1'Yellow Card Chico
90'CHANCE! For Swansea! Jaaskelainen was all at sea but still managed to keep the ball out. Further down the pitch, the home side finally grab a breather as the visitors are penalised for a foul.
89'It's incessant Swansea pressure now - chance after chance! Can the hosts hold on?
88'Vaz Te sends a shot hopelessly wide (and high) of the mark, but it won't bother the home fans as they at least have the ball in the opposition half.
87'Carroll has been simply unstoppable in the air today. The England striker has been frustrated and isolated at times, but when he's been given the service, he has duly delivered.
86'SubstitutionMohamed Diame Gary O'Neil
86'Dyer charges down the middle but a loose ball is collected by Jaaskelainen before the winger can get his hands, feet or head on the ball.
85'They were seven matches unbeaten before today and they have dominated possession during the course of this match, but the away side look as though they may be going home empty handed today.
84'Allardyce prepares a defensive substitution as the home side look to weather the Swansea storm.
83'Anxious moments for the home fans and the occasional whistle can be heard from the West Ham faithful as the visitors pile on the pressure. The hosts are sitting very deep.
81'The visitors are keen to grab an equaliser as soon as they can, here, although the spirit of the home players looks as though it may just carry them over the line.
80'But what's this... CHANCE for Swansea as Ki comes close with a finish from inside the box. Great stop from Jaaskelainen.
79'Caroll has been fantastic this half and so have the rest of the home side. The Upton Park faithful have been a handy 12th man, as well.
77'Assist Mark Noble
77'Goal Andy Carroll
GOALLLLLL!!! The hosts break the deadlock and it's that man Andy Carroll! A typical Hammers goal as a dream of a corner is whipped in and the target man leaps high into the air to smash his header home. 1-0 West Ham.
77'Cole whips a great ball in and Vaz Te almost makes it two for the hosts! This second half has been an inspiration from the Hammers and it may well change the course of their season.
75'SubstitutionWayne Routledge Nathan Dyer
An injection of pace as Nathan Dyer comes on for the visitors. He's been off-colour recently, but at his best his pace simply unlocks defences.
73'Now it's a penalty appeal for the Hammers! Calls for a handball once again denied and the ball just seems to be pinging around the Swansea area non-stop at the moment.
70'CHANCE!! Tremmel is having a brilliant afternoon and it's England striker Carroll that he now denies. The target man thumped a ferocious shot straight at the German but it was so fast the shot stopper barely knew anything about it but he duly produced a reflex save.
68'For all the excitement here, there have still been no goals... Is a 0-0 on the cards? If so, I'm sure Laudrup will easily be the happier of the two managers.
67'Diame holds his head in his hands after lashing at his shot and sending it proverbial miles over the crossbar.
66'It's a fluid, lively encounter here at Upton Park now and what's more, it's a finely balanced contest.
65'TACKLE! Fantastic intervention from Ben Davies as the Vaz Te almost goes one on one with Tremmel but the left-back slides in Hollywood style and strips the striker of the ball with a clean challenge.
64'And it's Michu again who glances a header just over! Perhaps the visitors' best two chances of the game there - but they were half-chances at best.
63'CHANCE! Michu is unleashed by the Swansea midfield but the Spaniard was always drifting towards the left and ended up firing over from a tight angle, although he could have looked for options to cross to instead.
62'SubstitutionMatt Jarvis Joe Cole
The home crowd absolutely roar as Joe Cole is introduced in the hope of some magic from the former England international.
61'The home side are still threatening, though, and another Jarvis cross is played in but with no one on the end of it.
60'Half an hour remains here as we have returned to our normal pattern of Swansea dominance in possession.
59'The visitors' change sees Ki drop deeper into midfield alongside De Guzman, with Moore pushing further up the pitch. Definitely an attacking move from Laudrup.
58'Jaaskelainen comfortably palms away a 25-yard free kick from the away side but the visitors are starting to put together a period of pressure.
57'SubstitutionLeon Britton L. Moore
Luke Moore enters the fray in place of Britton - who has produced yet another admirable effort, running himself into the ground.
55'The visitors win a corner but it's definitely the home side who have enjoyed the best of this second half so far.
53'The hosts push into the penalty area once again but it is cleared haphazardly.
52'CHANCE! West Ham are knocking on the door as Carroll has space inside the area but fires his shot over the bar. A better finish and it probably would have been 1-0.
51'Swansea yet to really see the ball in this second half; it's as though the half-time break never came - the hosts are pushing to open the scoring just as they were beforehand.
49'Still no goals here at Upton Park but it's been a lively affair, I can assure you. If it does end 0-0 - it certainly won't be the worst 0-0 ever known to man.
48'And Tremmel is called into action again! Deja vu as Vaz Te takes a trike from range and the German keeps the scores level once more.
47'A long ball is launched up to target man Carroll but Tremmel intervenes to collect the ball in mid-air.
46'The home side get us underway in the second half! Will this be the 45 minutes that arrests the Hammers' recent slide or will the visitors go from strength to strength?
Join us for the second half shortly. It promises to be a cracker!
In the away dressing room, Michael Laudrup will be delighted with his side's application in the opening period. They have looked shy in front of goal, however, and for all their possession stats, it's looked painfully obvious why they have drawn so many games so far this season.
Vaz Te's shot was the last significant action of the half and the hosts will be disappointed that neither his nor two of Nolan's efforts have given them the lead. Nevertheless, there have been encouraging signs for the home side in their bid to win only their second match in 10 attempts.
HALF-TIME! The whistle has gone here at Upton Park and it's the home side who go into the break on the up, although the visitors have completely dominated the possession stats during the opening 45 minutes.
44'However... CHANCE! Ricardo Vaz Te launches a stinging near-post shot from a tight angle, but Tremmel is on hand to rescue his side once again.
43'The hosts waste a good chance after a quickly taken free kick leaves them three against two. Slow passing and a failure to look for options was a crime committed by all in Claret and Blue.
42'Hernandez storms into the home penalty area with the ball at his feet, but a strong Taylor challenge sends the ball out for a corner.
41'Michu whips in an inviting cross but Jaaskelainen gets between the ball and Hernandez.
39'Allardyce may consider the skilful link-up play of Joe Cole for the second half. The hosts' initial build-up play is effective, but it is joining their frontline with their midfield five where there is a problem. Cole plays between the lines well to good effect and would be a serious option here today.
38'It's been all Swansea in terms of possession - but all West Ham, and Nolan more specifically, in terms of chances.
36'CHANCE! It's groundhog day as Tremmel denies Nolan once more. Carroll did fantastically to nod down to his captain and Nolan fired a powerful shot at goal from inside the box, but the German keeper was equal to it and palmed it away with authority.
34'Long ball after long ball is sent towards the Swansea penalty area, but this time one bounces out for a goal kick. Carroll, meanwhile, is a picture of pure frustration as he stands isolated at the top of the park.
33'The hosts win a free kick just inside the visitors' half and push bodies forward. Nonetheless, their players and fans alike have been forced into a period of anxiety as the visitors restrict them with pressure and tiki-taka passing.
31'A mix-up in the opposition penalty area not only denies West Ham a goal, but it denies them a shot in the first place. The home side had two players in the box well placed to produce an effort, but both Vaz Te and Carroll went for the same ball and it ended up trickling out of play.
29'The pressure is to no avail as Tomkins leaps and sends a header high over the bar. At least the shot tally has increased...
28'After occasional early flashes, it has to be said that Carroll has hardly been involved so far - the hosts will need to show a lot more attacking potency if they are to grab the three points today. Here's their chance as they win a corner.
27'It's becoming harder and harder to recollect a West Ham chance as the clock ticks on. The visitors are now totally in control of possession.
26'Or should that be taking flight... One thing not taking flight when the visitors are in possession is the ball as neat, low passes ping from one away player to another.
25'And yet more pressure from the visitors as Hernandez comes close! The Swans are definitely starting to find their feet, here.
24'Jaaskelainen almost gets caught in No Man's Land as the shot stopper finds himself on the ball under pressure near the corner flag! He duly sends the ball out for a throw-in, however.
23'At home, it is usually a different story for Sam Allardyce's side, however. The hosts have won five times and drawn four, only losing three times at Upton Park so far this season.
21'An encouraging sign for the Hammers so far is a relatively simple one: they have not yet conceded. At Fulham on Wednesday night, they conceded three, while they shipped five at the Emirates.
20'CHANCE! A great cross is delivered in to skipper Nolan who fires from close range but is denied by a firm Tremmel save.
19'Diame and Carroll getting heavily involved and linking up well so far, but the England striker called for a first time pass from the midfielder on this occasion and was left frustrated as he was called offside when a delayed pass was finally released.
18'Leon Britton, meanwhile, has been faultless on the ball so far, as would be expected.
17'No goals so far here at Upton Park and something tells me the first goal may be crucial. The stats say that Swansea have had 64% of possession, but the Hammers have created marginally more up front so far.
16'First real chance for the Hammers, albeit one from outside the box. Carroll does what he does best and heads it down for Diame, who has a couple of yards of space and unleashes a tempting shot, but does not end up troubling Tremmel.
15'Jonathan De Guzman has a shot from a 30-yard free-kick... and it sails hopelessly wide. Certainly not the midfielder's best ever effort!
14'Loud appeals for a handball in the Swansea penalty area, but the referee waves them away and West Ham waste the resultant chance with a shot that ends up closer to Row Z than it is to being on target.
12'The away side almost give possession away cheaply at the back but manage to hold on and play the ball into midfield, where a predictably accurate sequence of passes ensues.
10'It's certainly an end to end affair so far - but no clearcut chances as of yet. An early stat to keep you on your toes, though: although Swansea are unbeaten in seven, they have drawn five of those games.
9'The visitors push into the home penalty area for the first time but the Hammers send the ball straight back up the pitch on the break.
8'Yellow Card Ricardo Vaz Te
Indeed, the culprit - Ricardo Vaz Te has received an early booking for a slightly careless challenge.
7'A midfield battle for possession has ensued in what has been a lively encounter thus far. Matty Taylor sends the ball long in search of Matt Jarvis, but play is stopped as Wayne Routledge is brought down.
6'After a couple of minutes of solid Swansea possession, the away side have hardly had a look in and the ball has spent most of its time in their half.
5'Gerhard Tremmel punches clear from the corner, but the early signs of West Ham pressure are there for all to see.
4'The hosts have now established a foothold and their first of what will probably be dozens of crosses is whipped in but cleared. Still, the Hammers persisted and now have a corner for their efforts after Kevin Nolan saw his shot deflected wide.
3'Mohamed Diame gives away a goal kick - but he would probably be forgiven for giving away a penalty at the moment as the home fans will be delighted simply to see him in a Hammers shirt after late January interest from Arsenal.
2'The hosts are looking for only their second win in 10 matches - and so far they are also looking fruitlessly for possession as the visitors hold on to the ball like they never want to let it go.
1'And we're off! It's the visitors who kick us off.
The visitors, meanwhile, boast two of the best passers in the Premier League in Leon Britton and Ki Sung Yeung and will be reliant as ever on top scorer Michu. All the action for you in just a few minutes, stay tuned!
There's only a place on the bench for Cole today, however, but Andy Carroll - who a few months ago was a teammate of Cole's at Liverpool instead of the Hammers - gets the nod after recently returning to fitness.
The last time Swansea played at Upton Park was 14 years ago in an FA Cup third round tie, when the Swans were a middling side in what used to be called the third division and West Ham were probing the Premier League's upper echelons. Making his debut off the bench that day was a spritely, 17-year old Joe Cole.
While the Welsh side's subs today are: Cornell, Dyer, Lamah, Monk, Schechter, Moore, Tiendalli.
And today's Swansea team is: Tremmel, Davies, Williams, Chico, Rangel; Britton, Ki; Routledge, De Guzman, Hernandez; Michu.
The Hammers bench for you: Spiegel, C. Cole, Collison, Pogatetz, J Cole, Chamakh, O'Neill
Here's how the hosts are lining up today: Jaaskelainien; Taylor, O'Brien, Tomkins, Reid; Diame, Noble, Jarvis, Nolan, Vaz Te, Carroll
Upton Park will be buzzing today and I'm sure you at home are too - although the table makes for much sweeter reading at the moment if you are a Swans fan. The Hammers are currently 13th having not won in four (and having conceded 12 in those four). Swansea, however, are unbeaten in seven, sitting pretty in eighth.
Hello and welcome to Goal.com's LIVE! play-by-play coverage of West Ham United vs. Swansea City. I'm Tim Poole and I'll be guiding you through what will no doubt be yet another thrilling episode of Premier League football.

A FIRE that caused up to $2 million in damage to shops in Sydney's north-west was deliberately started by two men seeking a $200,000 insurance payout, police allege.
The owners of Lebanese restaurant My Sophia, on the Pacific Highway in Hornsby, are accused of igniting a gas cylinder inside their business just before 2.10am on October 3.
The ensuing fire gutted the restaurant, engulfed a neighbouring music shop, cafe and real estate agency and closed the Pacific Highway in both directions.
Ahmed Shousha, 25, and Ahmed El-Khouli, 27, both of Hornsby Heights, appeared in Parramatta Bail Court this afternoon charged with dishonestly for gain destroying property and causing more than $15,000 in damage to property by fire.
Mr El-Khouli is also accused of pressuring his wife and Mr Shousha's wife, who both worked at the restaurant, to lie to police about the fire.
He was charged with two counts of acting with intent to influence a witness.
Mr El-Khouli did not apply for bail and is due to appear via audiovisual link in Hornsby Local Court on Monday.
Mr Shousha applied for bail but it was refused. He is due to appear on Monday at Hornsby Local Court.

We're about halfway through school holidays. How are you coping? We've had our moments, I'll be the first to admit. But we've also had some very special ones. For example, I've just spent the past 20 minutes helping my son learn a card trick. For a simple trick it was pretty cool and the look on his face when it worked for his father was even cooler. My daughter is playing with her Lego Friends (and, for the record, neither she nor I have any trouble with girl-focused Lego), the dog is stretched out in the shade, life is good. Well, except for the fact I'm faced with writing this column from home over the holidays.
Sometimes I think we try to do too much during the holidays. Play dates, trips away, visits to tourist attractions, activities, catch-ups. Previously I've worked on a day-on/day-off roster. If, say, we've had something on one day, the next we'd bum about home with nothing on the agenda.
But this week I have been encouraging bumming about every day, all week. Sure it would be nice to go to Wollongong to visit Aunty Liz, or maybe head to the coast for the day. But it's been even nicer not doing anything.
It's not that we've been bone idle. The dog has been walked and brushed, books have been read, slices have been made, we've seen a couple of movies and, most delightfully, we've spent lots of time just talking. There's been something we've ticked off every day, no matter how small. There has been a sense of accomplishment. (Hey, we managed to get out of bed before noon!) But you know what? If we don't quite manage to get to the Australian War Memorial or the National Museum or Questacon I don't think any of us will mind too much at all.
Should I feel guilty about sending the kids back to school with nothing to write about in that obligatory My Holidays first-week exercise? Mind you, we freeloaded off friends down the coast between Christmas and New Year and will be heading to Queensland for a week soon, so they might have something to write about.
I read somewhere that some other mother's favourite words to hear were ''I'm bored'' as it gave her licence to tell her kids it was time they worked out something to do for themselves. When mine tell me that, and I've got the electrics ban in place, it usually takes them a good half hour to work something out. War games in the pool, Lego cities, cafes is another favourite, with a decade-old can of plastic ham and pea soup still on the menu. I love watching them develop games and even at 11 and nine, when they could so easily be seduced by iThings if I let them, they still surprise me with the ideas they come up with. Nothing makes me happier than when I hear the belly laughs that come from them just being.
They're at an age, too, when I'm starting to realise more and more that I won't have them for much longer. Cuddles, reading in bed, handwritten notes, expressions of unconditional love … I fear that they'll all stop before I'm ready.
For the moment I just want to be with my children. Brushing their hair, or tending their scratches, or taking in that smell they have first thing in the morning, stroking their perfect skin, or staring at their long, dark eyelashes. Oh please don't go, we'll eat you up, we love you so, the Wild Things said.
That's how I'm feeling. And during the holidays, too. What's wrong with me? The annoying hasn't overridden the adoring. And we can't let it.
But just in case. Here are five things to do over the holidays.
1) Go for a drive: I threatened to do this the other day and the nine-year-old said, how boring, all we'll see is dry grass and trees and bushes. Yep. And we'll be forced to talk to each other, or invent games, or look at what's around us, hell, we could even sing as loud as we want and no one would notice. We might even end up somewhere interesting and enjoy our packed lunch. It's all about the journey.
2) Put on a play: And get the neighbourhood kids to join in. The kids can control everything. If they give you a part, cool. If not, be an appreciative audience member on opening night.
Some of my own best memories are of Abba concerts performed at the end of the annual two-week holiday, when every kid staying at the motel was roped in to do something.
3) Let the kids decide the menu for the week: let them choose recipes, help with the shopping, do some of the cooking. Pick a country, go for a theme, try new things. You've got to eat, after all. If you can't cope with the idea of giving up dinner, bake every day and deliver plates of goodies to elderly people in the neighbourhood.
4) Get to know your neighbourhood: make a map, find parks you didn't know where there, really get to know your local shops, what hidden treasures are there, say hi to people, this is where you live.
5) Get to know your family. See above. Come up with a list of questions to ask each other. What's your favourite ice-cream flavour, how did you first meet dad, what do you want to be when you grow up, if you could have one magic power what would it be, what do you love about mum …
School holidays are about reconnecting. About letting go, to some extent, of the ties that bind us during the school year, and reconnecting with the things that really matter. And that's family. And sometimes you can do that best by doing nothing.

You are here: Home » General » Will DOMA and Prop 8 Be Heard?
Sotomayor flags another troubling criminal case in a solo dissent.
I'll almost certainly have something on that.
Another question; When will we hear from Holder on Colorado and Washington's finger in the DOJ's eye? 10,000 persons will not go to jail and the Prisoner Guard Unions will be losing overtime. Can't have no job losses.
I saw it noted that Holder was — upsetting some at the DEA — noticeably silent when the measures were on the ballot.
how right you are:
10,000 persons will not go to jail and the Prisoner Guard Unions will be losing overtime. Can't have no job losses.
not to mention, all the other groups that derive their primary reason for existence, on keeping it illegal. lots of tax dollars down that rat hole.
if nothing is said or done, we'll have another round of states (CA perhaps? maybe NM?) going for it. at some point, holder, or whoever is AG, will be forced to do something, and that's when all hell breaks loose. this, i suspect, is what holder is trying to avoid.
I'd add that Chris Hayes had an interesting discussion on this issue and the panel had a different view of things. For one thing, many who get caught in the system won't be helped since either they are under 21 or smoke in public places, neither protected.
I expect Holder and the president to do whatever is necessary to kick this can down the road as far as possible. Although they have to know that current policy is stupid in several different ways, they also know they will have to spend political capital to make any reasonable change while they will gain nothing politically.
This is going to have to be a state by state thing.
Just like the WOT, the War on Drugs is rich with financial motivations and will last forever. We can't be losing jobs (DEA) or Authoritarian creds.
I think DOMA would be a much more conservative step. And I think Kennedy would vote with the liberal wing-the statute isn't that different from Romer, which he wrote.
how so? almost by definition, repudiating DOMA makes all the state laws/amendments moot, since they're essentially the same thing.
i think scalia, et al are searching, desperately, for any way to convince the rest not to take these cases. to come down on the side of the religinuts will require fantasy that maybe they can't even stomach. so best to avoid it completely.
It depends how this "repudiation" is done.
For instance, the 10A arguments don't lie the same way. Second, a state DOMA could block any same sex marriages from arising in the state. The federal DOMA cases raise different issues, but a core concern are federal benefits. The same sex marriages would still exist w/o the federal DOMA.
This makes the federal DOMA more gratuitous.
But avoiding it means they let the 9th Circuit decision stand. I don't think the right-wingers will want to do that.
Section 3 is the part of DOMA that's being challenged. That basically just defines "marriage" (man + woman) "spouse" (opposite sex partner in said marriage) for federal purposes (Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States).
So if struck down your same-sex spouse would now qualify as your "spouse" for the purposes of, for example, the Internal Revenue Code (etc). Whether same-sex marriage is legal or illegal in your state remains unchanged.
And it wouldn't repudiate state laws, because Section 2 of DOMA would stand. "No State, territory, or possession of the United States, or Indian tribe, shall be required to give effect to any public act, record, or judicial proceeding of any other State, territory, possession, or tribe respecting a relationship between persons of the same sex that is treated as a marriage under the laws of such other State, territory, possession, or tribe, or a right or claim arising from such relationship."
I.e., Congress has the authority to delineate precisely how "faithful" and "full" credit must be under the full faith and credit clause. So, Kentucky would not be forced to recognize a California same-sex marriage under their laws, but the Federal government would.
All things considered, it would be a very narrow ruling to strike down Section 3 of DOMA. It would definitely be huge, though.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/2/2011 (2366 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
CHARLOTTETOWN - Winnipeg's Jennifer Jones won her third in a row here this morning and vaulted into second place at the Canadian womens curling championship.
Team Canada's Jones defeated Ontario's Rachel Homan 7-4 Wednesday morning to improve to 6-2. The loss drops Ontario to 6-2 as well, but Jones now wins the tiebreaker between the two teams based on the round-robin victory.
If the event were to end right now, Jones would play Saskatchewan's Amber Holland in the page playoff 1 vs 2 game Friday night. Holland improved to 8-0 with a 10-2 beating of Newfoundland this morning.
Jones is 10-0 in playoff games over the last three years at this event. She last lost a playoff game at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in 2007.
Jones busted open a 4-4 tie with Ontario with a three-ender in the eighth end, set up by a brilliant first four rocks by her front end of lead Dawn Askin and second Jill Officer.
Ontario has now lost two of their last three games and their brash 21-year-old skip looked bewildered on the ice this morning as Jones took the youngster to school. Jones out-shot Homan 89-67 through the first eight ends.
Jones is now off the ice until tonight when she takes on disgruntled former teammate Cathy Overton-Clapham of Manitoba. The most widely anticipated contest of this event will be broadcast live by TSN, beginning at 5:30 p.m. CT.
Manitoba, who are 1-6 and already eliminated from the playoffs, will first have to play Ontario, however, on this afternoon's draw.

Here's the last thing I'm going to post about religion Obviously this is a hot topic of discussion here.
We all know that everything that occurs is not shown on television. Not knowing the entire conversation between the truck driver and the mother makes it impossible to see if she was indeed proselytizing. Maybe the truck driver initiated that part of the conversation. I sense an awful lot of prejudiceness here that I never expected to hear. I by no means am a very religious person but to not like someone because they are is beyond me.

A nationally known feminist media critic said Wednesday that "it would be irresponsible" to give a lecture amidst mass shooting threats at Utah State University, knowing that police would not screen for weapons at the door.
In a phone interview from San Francisco, Anita Sarkeesian said she canceled Wednesday's lecture not because of three death threats one of which promised "the deadliest school shooting in American history" but because firearms would be allowed in spite of the threats.
"That was it for me," said Sarkeesian, who has kept multiple speaking engagements in the face of death threats, including one last week at Geek Girl Con in Seattle. "If they allowed weapons into the auditorium, that was too big a risk."

"You're Welcome" is the twelfth episode of season five of the television show Angel. Written and directed by David Fury, it is the 100th episode of the series, and originally broadcast on February 4, 2004 on the WB network. In "You're Welcome," former series regular Charisma Carpenter returns as a guest star, when the character of Cordelia Chase miraculously awakens from her coma. It is her duty to put Angel, who has recently been feeling ineffective at fighting the powers of darkness, back on the right path. Meanwhile, Angel's old enemy Lindsey McDonald has resurfaced and is plotting revenge. The episode features the death and final onscreen appearance of Cordelia.
The episode was written to reinforce the show's earlier themes, and examine the evolution of the characters in the show's one hundred episodes. The original plan was for Sarah Michelle Gellar to return as Buffy Summers, but when she could not appear due to the death of her aunt[1] and work obligations, it instead focused on rounding off the character of Cordelia. The episode proved generally popular with critics, who praised Charisma Carpenter's final performance as Cordelia and the sense of resolution for the character.
In a hospital room, Cordelia jolts out of her coma after experiencing a vision of the symbols painted on Eve's apartment door and tattooed on Lindsey's (Christian Kane) chest. Angel elaborates on his decision to resign from his position of CEO of Wolfram & Hart's L.A. office, saying instead of ridding the world of evil, they are now negotiating with, or for, evil. As Gunn argues that quitting may incur dire consequences, he is interrupted by a phone call from the hospital, with the news that Cordelia has awoken from her coma.
Angel and Wesley arrive at Cordelia's hospital room and see a woman's body lying in bed, partially covered by drapes (head not visible), who they assume is Cordelia. When Angel calls out her name, Cordelia suddenly appears from the opposite side of the room saying, "Yep, that chick's in rough shape. You'd think they'd give Miss One-Foot-in-the-Grave her own room." She then closes the drapes.
Back at Wolfram & Hart, Cordelia asks after Connor, which surprises Angel, who thought he was the only one to remember his son. Cordy later reveals the vision that woke her from the coma showed Angel in grave danger. Eve enters, despite being banned, saying Angel has no control over the liaison for the Senior Partners. Meanwhile, Spike complains to Lindsey (who is impersonating Doyle) that the deranged slayer Lindsey/Doyle sent him after ended up chopping off his hands. Lindsey/Doyle reveals he also had one of his hands cut off.
Angel finds Cordelia watching an Angel Investigations commercial Doyle (Glenn Quinn) recorded more than four years earlier, shortly before his death and she notes Doyle gave his life to guarantee that Angel kept fighting. She subtly quotes Doyle's final words about the fight against evil: "I get that now." Cordelia accuses Angel of letting Wolfram & Hart seduce him with glamor and power, but Angel says he took the job only so his son Connor could have a happy, stable life. Later, Cordelia apologizes to Wesley (Alexis Denisof) for killing Lilah while under Jasmine's control. She finds the strange symbols from her vision in a book, and Wesley recognizes them as runes to protect and conceal, effective against modern surveillance. In the basement of W&H, Lindsey (invisible to the guards monitoring the video screens) passes into a restricted area. He uses a crystal as a key, allowing an underground tank to rise.
Spike bites Cordelia until Angel fights him off. Spike explains he was tasting whether she was evil, as his source claimed. Angel questions the source, and Spike says it was "Doyle", the tattooed man who gets visions from the Powers That Be. Angel confronts Eve, suggesting she is working with the Doyle impersonator who has been manipulating Spike. Harmony says, being "technically evil", she doesn't mind torturing Eve, after which Eve quickly confesses Lindsey is activating a fail-safe left by the Senior Partners specifically designed to destroy Angel. When Spike unwittingly mentions "Doyle" had a hand chopped off, Angel deduces that "Doyle" is in fact former W&H crony Lindsey McDonald. Wesley says he and Fred will perform a spell to counter-act Lindsey's tattoos, while the others attempt to disable the fail-safe.
In the rooms below, Angel battles Lindsey, who is wreathed in protective strength from his tattooed runes. Cordelia throws Angel a katana; while Angel and Lindsey sword-fight she removes the crystal from the control panel, causing the fail-safe to descend into the floor. Wesley and Fred perform a spell that causes Lindsey's tattoos to float off of his body, leaving him unprotected from detection by the Senior Partners. Lindsey is sucked upwards into a portal.
Upstairs, Angel is left alone with Cordelia, who confesses that the Powers That Be owed her one. Angel says he doesn't understand and she said she got what she wanted. Cordelia tells Angel that she is now on a different path and must leave. She heads out the door but then runs back to Angel, and they kiss passionately. This was their first real kiss, though they did kiss while under a mystical influence in the third season "Waiting in the Wings." A ringing telephone interrupts, and as Angel picks up the receiver after Cordelia sadly tells him he needs to, Cordelia says, "Oh, and you're welcome." The voice on the phone says that Cordelia has died. Angel's office is suddenly empty; Cordelia has vanished. Angel realizes Cordelia never awoke from her coma. He hangs up the telephone and says, "Thank you."
The fight scene between Lindsey and Angel in the underground chamber, which took three days to film, was written by Steven S. DeKnight.[2] Christian Kane, who went through two-and-a-half months of sword training for his role in Secondhand Lions, approached the writers to see if they could work his new skills into the episode;[3] Kane ended up performing his own stunts for the sword fight sequence, including wire work.[4] He also did his own stunts for the scene when Lindsey moves through the lasers in the tunnel, which were not CGI, but actual lasers.[2] During the fight scene between Eve and Harmony, Sarah Thompson says Mercedes McNab slapped her accidentally. "She was... so worried she'd hurt me but it actually worked well for the take because I reacted by really screaming," Thompson says.[2]
David Boreanaz had just had knee surgery prior to filming, so writer David Fury did his best to keep Angel sitting down as much as possible.[5] Fury used tight camera angles during Spike's apartment scene with Lindsey to disguise the fact that the same set was used earlier for the opening teaser. "Everything is a bit contained; the reason is if I turn around, this is where they found the dead nuns," Fury explains.[2]
Joss Whedon says he used the 100th episode to reinforce the "mission statement" of the show,[6] as well as assess where the characters are now compared to how they began. Whedon explains this episode presents an ideal opportunity to - through Cordelia, who was "there at the beginning" - ask of Angel, "Where are you now? Where were you when you started and where are you now and how do you feel about that?"[7] The return to the show's "original concerns" is echoed by the flashback to Doyle's first season advertisement; Sara Upstone points out aerial images of Los Angeles reappear at the same time Cordelia tells Angel "You forgot who you are," bringing back the show's link to the city.[8] This episode, written as a stand-alone as per the network's request, also sets up a critical plot-thread for the season arc that "will begin to reveal itself toward the end of the season," Whedon says.[9] The character of Buffy Summers was originally intended to appear in the 100th episode, focusing on the rivalry between Angel and Spike and their feelings for Buffy, but Sarah Michelle Gellar was unavailable. Writer/director David Fury explains that since "we couldn't get Sarah," the episode was instead written for Cordelia Chase. He adds, "This turned out to be a Godsend because Charisma was fantastic."[10] In the original script, Fury wrote a conversation between Wesley and Angel while driving to the hospital that set up Cordelia as a possible vegetable. The scene was never shot because "the shock of seeing her up and around after a 9-month coma was enough. We just didn't want to tip it too soon," says Fury.[2]
Christian Kane was genuinely upset when an addition by Joss Whedon in the script called for Angel to refer to Lindsey as a "tiny Texan." Although born in Texas, Kane identifies as a "Sooner" and "I'm stronger than David, bigger than David, I'm just shorter." Kane says Joss "likes to take shots at me. He's like, 'I can't build this character up too much without cutting his nuts just a little bit.'"[3]
Carpenter says she was satisfied with the way her character left the show, as she feels Cordelia's story has been fully resolved.[11] Creator Joss Whedon agreed, saying, "In seven years, we'd sort of run through our course of [the] character and didn't want to start just doing hollow riffs on what we'd done."[12] Since Whedon suspected this season would be the last, Carpenter says, "we didn't want to just leave Cordelia in a coma..this would be a very big story left untold."[13] Carpenter says the 100th episode was a momentous time to have her character die,[11] calling it "bittersweet...a love letter to Cordelia"[6] and the story "one of the sweetest they'd ever told."[14] David Fury agrees: "It's a beautiful farewell to Charisma for the series"[2] and it gives "Charisma a send off that was respectful to her and Cordelia Chase. I was very proud to have my name on it."[15]
Actor Christian Kane says he had a difficult time calling himself 'Doyle' because he felt on some level he was masquerading as deceased Glenn Quinn. "It was a very awkward situation for me and David because we were close to Glenn," says Kane. "I didn't know how the fans were going to react to it."[2] Kane says the memory of Quinn upset Boreanaz: "I could see it in his eyes... it's got to be a tough deal for him." However, Kane thinks that "Joss is brilliant because he used that. How do you turn me and David against each other? You really can't because we're such close friends. So to use that for Angel and Lindsey, I think has a little bit of brilliance to it. It's kind of sick...but it did the job."[16] David Fury adds, "I think [the fans] appreciated it from the standpoint that we were honoring him. That Doyle's not a forgotten piece of this world."[2]
This episode was rated as one of the series' top five episodes in a poll done by Angel Magazine.[17] TV Guide praised Charisma Carpenter's "blithe comic delivery";[18] the BBC noted that Carpenter's return elevated the script from "merely great to something close to awesome," but griped because the show's tight budget left Lindsey's activation of the fail-safe an "unfulfilled promise."[12]
Reaction to the death of long-time character Cordelia was generally positive. After being disgusted by Cordelia's fourth season arc, which she claims "destroyed Cordy's character and viewer trust", author Jennifer Crusie applauds this episode. "The writers play fair," she says, "foreshadowing the Gotcha to come" - Cordelia is in a private room, yet hastily draws the curtains around a bed-ridden roommate, and remarks to Angel that she understands why Doyle used his "last breath to make sure [Angel] kept fighting." Rather than undercutting the emotional impact of the story, the twist of Cordelia's tragic ending reinforces and honors her character. "She is...our Cordy again," Crusie[19] says.[20] Cordelia exits the series "needed, loved, and wanted"; her final words are "You're welcome," Janine R. Harrison argues, because "she knows her worth."[21]
