Ashley Ankiewicz's second goal in as many matches put Bart Choufour's side into the lead, but a second-half strike from Andrew Proctor gave Surrey a share of the spoils in this latest Pacific Coast Soccer League match-up. The first real chance of the match came on 21 minutes when a Kule Kambere cross was met by Rob Tice, but his shot rolled wide of the target. United pressed again five minutes later when Proctor made a strong run into the Whitecaps box, but he was unable to put his low shot past Prospects goalkeeper Evan Lowther. Although Surrey had the momentum, it was the Whitecaps who opened the scoring on 35 minutes. A Riley Newport shot deflected into the path of Ankiewicz, who promptly buried a low shot past the outstretched arms of Surrey goalkeeper Oliver Thomas for a 1-0 lead. The tables turned in the second half, however, as it was the Whitecaps who would concede an equalizer, despite having the majority of possession. On 63 minutes, Lowther came out to challenge for a ball, but Proctor was able to reach it first and strike a one-time shot into the back of the net to level the match at 1-1. The young 'Caps looked to respond five minutes later when a beautiful through ball by Jerome Lou found the foot of Gavin Barrett, but he fired a close-range strike well over the United crossbar. Barrett would receive another golden opportunity ten minutes later when Rhys Volkenant's cross into the Surrey box was headed into his path by Ankiewicz, but he again was unable to get his shot on target. Surrey looked to steal the win on 82 minutes when Proctor poked a shot on goal after another strong run into the Whitecaps box, but a kick save by Lowther kept the match on level terms. The Whitecaps had one last chance on 89 minutes when Barrett flicked a through ball to Ankiewicz, but the goalscorer fired a shot high and over the crossbar, as the match ended in a 1-1 stalemate. Choufour was pleased with the way his team came out in the second half after a slow start. "We addressed a few things at halftime," he told whitecapsfc.com. "I think the boys came out very well in the second half. They played with a lot of confidence." The Prospects Men return home for their next PCSL Premier Division match. On Tuesday, May 26, they host Vancouver Thunderbirds at Simon Fraser University's Terry Fox Field. Kick off is at 7:30 p.m. PDT.

For same-sex couples in Wisconsinmany of whom have been in loving, committed relationships for decadesit's been frustrating to watch marriage arrive in state after state, including several other states in the MidwestIowa in 2009, Minnesota in 2013, and most recently in Illinois, where a federal judge found Illinois' current marriage law unconstitutional and ordered a county clerk to begin issuing marriage licenses months ahead of the effective date of Illinois' newly-passed law in Lee v. Orr. An Ohio federal court ordered state and local government officials to recognize out-of-state marriages for purposes of issuing death certificates in Obergefell v. Wymyslo, and a decision is expected soon in the DeBoer v. Snyder case in Michigan where the trial testimony has exposed yet again the complete absence of any legitimate governmental interests served by denying marriage to same-sex couples.
Looking outside the Midwest, in just the last three months, federal courts in four states Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia, and Texashave invalidated state laws and constitutional amendments that denied same-sex couples the freedom to marry. Additionally, in Bourke v. Beahear a federal court in Kentucky invalidated that state's prohibition on the recognition of the out-of-state marriages of same-sex couples. According to news reports, more than one thousand couples in Utah were able to marry before the US Supreme Court granted a stay in Herbert v. Kitchen.
The wind in the sails of these most recent decisions striking down marriage bans is the US Supreme Court's holding last year in Windsor v. United States, in which the court struck down Section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, which prohibited the recognition of legal marriages between same-sex spouses for purposes of federal spousal protections and obligations. The court in Windsor found that DOMA violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fifth Amendment by "plac[ing] same-sex couples in an unstable position of being in a second-tier marriage. The differentiation demeans the couple, whose moral and sexual choices the Constitution protects."
But while Windsor may have paved the way for these recent decisions (and most likely stiffened judicial spines), the equal protection reasoning in Windsor does not explicitly address all the reasons why a law that discriminates against same-sex couples is unconstitutional. The other courts deciding the pending marriage cases will need to fill in the rest. In particular, lower courts must recognize (as a few have already) that a marriage ban discriminates not just on the basis of sexual orientation, but also on the basis of sex.
In Kitchen v. Herbert, the court recognized that Utah's marriage ban classified not only on the basis of sexual orientation, but also on the basis of sex. It found that Utah's marriage ban discriminates on the basis of sex, "because it prohibits a man from marrying another man, but does not prohibit that man from marrying a woman." Even though the ban affects women in the same way, the symmetry of discriminatory treatment of men and women under marriage bans does not change the law's essence as sex classification, which prevents gay men and lesbians from marrying the person they most love in the world because of their sex.
But the Kitchen court stopped short of offering a full explanation for the sex discrimination inherent in laws that prevent lesbian and gay couples from marrying. More than forty years ago, in Frontiero v. Richardson, a plurality of the Supreme Court struck down a law requiring a female Air Force officer to prove her husband's dependence on her to receive certain benefits made available to male married service members without any proof of their wife's dependence. In doing so, the plurality quoted from one of the court's earlier opinions, Bradwell v. Illinois in which the court had reasoned that "[m]an is, or should be, women's protector and defender" and that "[t[he paramount destiny and mission of woman are to fulfill the noble and benign offices of wife and mother." The Frontiero court acknowledged that "[a]s a result of notions such as these, our statute books gradually became laden with gross, stereotyped distinction between the sexes." Since then, the court has repeatedly recognized that classifying people on the basis of generalized notions about the proper roles of men and women constitutes sex discrimination. In Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins the court stated: "In the specific context of sex stereotyping, an employer who acts on the basis of a belief that a woman cannot be aggressive, or that she must not be, has acted on the basis of gender."
Like the law at issue in Frontiero, marriage bans discriminate on the basis of sex, because they are founded on overbroad gender stereotypes about the expected roles of men and womenas well as their preferences and skill sets. Denying same-sex couples the freedom to marry enforces the stereotype that men should marry women, and women should marry men. It also enforces a stereotype that a family consists of two parents of different genders.
A person could reasonably ask why these sex discrimination arguments should matter so long as courts are overturning marriage bans on some basis. But they do matter. They matter because recognizing and pointing out sex discrimination and especially sex stereotyping when it occurs helps to bring to light the latent prejudices that are still at work around us. Some people still fail to see the connection between the gender stereotypes motivating the laws and employment practices the courts have previously identified as discriminatory and those motivating bans that prevent lesbians and gay men from marrying. But most of us have heard first-hand the anti-gay comments aimed at persons whose conduct fails to comport with stereotypical notions of masculinity or femininity. In his article (PDF) "Why Discrimination Against Lesbians and Gay Men Is Sex Discrimination," Andrew Koppelman stated: "The two stigmas, sex-appropriateness and homosexuality, are virtually interchangeable, and each is readily used as a metaphor for the other." Gender-based stereotypes are a central part of the arguments asserted for the marriage bans, including marriage's alleged promotion of the "ideal" of "gender-differentiated parenting because the contribution of fathers to child-rearing is unique and irreplaceable."
Wisconsin long ago took steps to overcome certain sex-based distinctions in its marriage laws and has also made important progress in addressing discrimination against lesbians and gays and same-sex couples. Wisconsin was, for example, one of the first states to pass laws to protect the property rights of married women and by the early twentieth century had definitively ended many other legal restrictions on a married woman's ability to exercise financial independence from her husband. It also passed the very first state law to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation put into place a state-wide domestic partner law in 2009 that offers several important protections to same-sex couples who register, and elected the first lesbian or gay US Senator. Still, it has got an expansive constitutional amendment banning marriage and anything substantially similarwhich is the basis of a challenge pending in the Wisconsin Supreme Court of the limited domestic partner benefits currently available. Moreover, Wisconsin has a criminal law that makes it a crime to leave the state to contract a marriage that would be void or prohibited there.
Identifying the connections between the prejudices motivating laws, including marriage laws, that burdened women for so many years and laws that ban marriage for same-sex couples helps us to understand why people respond the way they do to lesbians and gay men, transgender people, and even stay-at-home fathers and successful women. Gender stereotypes are powerful, and bringing them out into the open takes away some of their power. Wisconsin has made such great progress over the years in fighting both sex and sexual orientation discrimination, and putting an end to its ban on marriage for lesbian and gay couples would represent an important breakthrough on both fronts.
A Wisconsin federal court will soon have to address these sex discrimination arguments in Wolf v. Walker, a challenge to that state's constitutional amendment excluding same-sex couples from marriage. The court has an opportunity to advance the law supporting the freedom to marry by finding that Wisconsin's marriage ban discriminates on the basis of sex both by limiting a person's liberty to marry the person of his or her choice based on sex and by enforcing sex stereotypes. That would get us closer not only to ending unconstitutional barriers to marriage for lesbians and gay men, but also to exposing the full range of harm that these laws inflict.

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has announced that if his health continues to deteriorate, his successor will be Vice President Nicolas Maduro.
On Saturday Chavez said he would be returning to Cuba on Sunday to undergo another round of cancer treatment.
He recently left Cuba after spending more than three weeks there receiving treatments, but said recent tests showed the return of cancer cells.
This is the first time Chavez has mentioned the possibility that his health would prevent him from continuing his role as president.

Ron Roberts
Age: 69
Education: Kearny High School. Graduated from San Diego State University in 1965 and the University of California, Berkeley in 1968.
Professional background: Architect. Managing partner in SGPA Architecture in San Diego until 1987.
Political background: San Diego City Council, 1987-January 1995; San Diego County Board of Supervisors, 1995-present; California Air Resources Board, 1995-present.
PERSONAL: Married to Helene, three daughters and three grandchildren. Lives in Mission Hills, He is 69.
For the better part of the last 25 years Ron Roberts has helped shape the San Diego region, first while on the City Council and then as a county supervisor.
But his sphere of influence is not confined just to San Diego County. As a member of the California Air Resources Board for more than 16 years, Roberts, now 69, shows little sign of slowing down even as he enters his final three years on the board of supervisors.
In a recent interview, Roberts, a Republican, talked about some of the pending local issues, confessed that he almost walked away from the air board post and what his own future may hold. (Answers have been edited for brevity.)
Q: How do you see the county reacting to the state budget squeeze and realignment of prisoners to county jails?
A: There's an awful lot at play. The governor has said he will seek cost protection for these shifts. Whether that happens remains a big question … We feel comfortable we have budgeted very conservatively. Revenues are exceeding our expectations. Not in a major way, but left to our own devices we will not need to make significant cuts. The big question is what the state does.
Q: Will realignment, the shift of state prisoners to counties, work?
A: Will it work the way the governor says it will? We hope so. That's the question I don't have an answer to. He says he does not only want to do it, but he wants to guarantee we will be kept whole. That has not happened yet.
Q: Why are you behind the new Waterfront Park as part of the 1998 North Embarcadero Visionary Plan?
A: In the county of San Diego, we have under construction several hundred million dollars of these projects that have been in the works for some time. The Waterfront Park's been in the planning-design stages for well over 10 years now. It's a very important project on a level with all of the other things we're doing. If you've managed your dollars well, you're in a position to do these things right now. Construction costs will not be any better … We can put people to work. The construction economy is reeling right now.
Q: The Air Resources Board is known for its aggressive clean-air campaigns, but has a reputation of standing in the way of the economy. Is that reputation justified?
A: For the most part, I would say not in the least … We can look ahead and make all kinds of projections. But if you look at the record and what the state has invested and the health benefits and a vastly improved environment and where this state would be if we hadn't acted, this has been one of the most successful programs ever.
Q: You have sided with efforts to control greenhouse gas emissions (linked to global warming). Why?
A: It's not just important to me. It's important to a vast majority of Californians and increasingly people all over the world. We are already seeing shifts in our whole attitude toward energy use and the consequences of that, especially on carbon-based fuels (gasoline). The changes we are seeing go hand in hand with greater energy independence for this country and less reliance on oil, as well as the environmental benefits. In terms of the planet, what are we going to leave for our children and their children? I have three grandchildren. It's not speculative for me. It's real.
Q: Do you plan to stay on the air board through the end of your term?
A: I went through a period a couple of years ago where it was kind of wearing me out. I honestly thought about stepping down and letting someone else (take over). I like the work we are doing. I believe in the work we are doing.
Q: Are you being recruited to run for the state Senate? If so, what's your answer?
A: Almost every day somebody says something about running for some office. I've heard those offers. I am not ready to make any announcement … There have been people who have asked me to consider options for other offices. Maybe they're trying to get rid of me. (Laughter) When I decide what I want to do when I grow up I will make an announcement.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota criticized a draft set of Internet traffic rules Friday, portraying the Federal Communications Commission proposal as a threat to unfettered access to online applications and content.
The "net neutrality" proposal is designed to prevent broadband providers from blocking or discriminating against Internet traffic flowing over their networks.
But the Democrat told The Associated Press that the proposed rules are too loose and could turn mobile Internet services into the "wild west," allowing providers to discriminate against rival content. He said the draft rules would also let broadband providers give their own online traffic or other favored traffic priority over other online services. Franken urged the FCC to overhaul the proposal.
Since he took office in July 2009, Franken has pushed to force network providers to allow open access to legal content, without favoring one service over another. He opposed the merger of Comcast Corp. and NBC Universal TV, saying their combination is the beginning of a consolidation of Internet service providers that will lead to more corporate control of online content.
"Ultimately I see a world where we have four or five companies controlling everything, with all their interests aligned and their interests will not be net neutrality," Franken said.
He added: "I fear for the flow of information in this country."
In his letter to the FCC, Franken said the current proposal hypothetically could allow a provider such as Verizon to suddenly block Netflix streaming video on iPads because it offers its own video service, V CAST.
Franken said the proposed FCC rules don't go far enough, and Congress ultimately may have to step in.
"I really do think there's going to have to be net neutrality legislation," he said.
But Franken acknowledged it could be tough to get that passed after Republicans take over the House next month. Republicans are strongly opposed to the net neutrality proposal, which they see as an attempt to regulate the Internet.
The plan was drafted by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, one of three Democrats on the five-member commission.
Large phone and cable companies including AT&T and Comcast are lending tepid support to the proposal, which is set for a vote on Dec. 21. (Copyright 2010 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

Gary H. Gibbons, M.D. - October 28, 2013
From Health Disparities in Asthma to the Microbiome, Clinician-Scientist Explores the Cutting Edge of Lung Research
Estimates place the number of people worldwide living with asthma at 300 million. In the U.S., one in every 11 children and one in every six African American children has asthma. The prevalence of this condition and its disproportionate impact on minorities and families at or below the poverty line make it a priority research area for the NHLBI, which supports a broad asthma research portfolio and the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program to translate research into improved clinical practice and quality of life.
Asthma research also is a priority for Dr. Monica Kraft, Professor of Medicine, Duke University School of Medicine and Past President, American Thoracic Society (ATS), who recently told me she sees first-hand the incredible health disparities and poorer health outcomes for Durham's African Americans and Hispanic Latinos suffering from asthma. What she witnesses daily is leading her and her team to begin discussions and research about what types of therapies and interventions change these disparities.
While her team continues to develop that line of inquiry, her current research into the basic immune mechanisms in asthma is leading researchers to embrace the fact that asthma, like many chronic diseases, is not homogenous, but instead driven by a number of different molecular phenotypes. Dr. Kraft and her team also are digging deeper into the remodeling process and the innate immune factors tied to asthma exacerbations. Their work in this space is particularly exciting because it could lead to a novel pathway for therapy in humans, which is the ultimate goal for clinician-scientists.
Implicating the Microbiome in Asthma
Dr. Kraft is also intrigued by how the microbiome may play a role in lung diseases like asthma or COPD and the potential for it as a key to future research and progress in this space. The microbiome has been implicated as a potential player in a number of medical conditions, from obesity to diabetes to cardiovascular disease.* During our discussion, she talked about some provocative data on early microbial exposures through the gut and how one's gut immune development ultimately may impact immune tolerance in the lung and susceptibility to asthma.
Reflections on Mentorship
Many of these exciting new areas of research that Dr. Kraft discussed will be explored by the next generation of clinician-scientists. And for this next generation to thrive, mentorship is key, especially when it comes to ensuring greater diversity in the biomedical workforce. That commitment is evident both in Dr. Kraft's current lab, where she mentors three junior female scientists, and in the programs she is helping create at the ATS.
Looking Forward
In any scientific discipline, the unanswered questions outnumber the answered questions. New technologies provide us new ways to approach old problems, and new knowledge gives us all the opportunity to expand our thinking. No one knows this more than Dr. Kraft, who admitted that she herself has considered taking a sabbatical to learn more about the systems biology approach to research, which she believes is critical for anyone looking to translate basic science into improvements in public health.
After spending 30 minutes with Dr. Kraft, one thing is clear: Whether she has the time for a sabbatical to learn more about systems biology or not, our scientific knowledge will continue to advance thanks to her leadership.
* For more on the connection between the microbiome, gut bacteria, and cardiovascular disease, listen to my interview with NHLBI grantee Dr. Stanley Hazen from the Cleveland Clinic.

Thanks. My friends will love that
You are most welcome.

As someone whospent a long time on a murder trial jury and also on Grand Jury I think I know what the jury would be looking at if all they had were the facts we, the public, have at this moment.
The very first thing they will ask in deliberations is,
"Is there any actual evidence or any witness that PROVED Zimmerman did anything illegal?"
That simple, not "should he have done "X" "but "were his known actions lawful?"
They are NOT a civil jury, they are not there to decide if Zimmerman getting out of bed that morning led to the death, that doesn't mean squat.
Then the question of whether or not his decisions led to the shooting from an indifference to human life? Did he do something NEGLIGENT? Now whether or not the florida laws under which he was charged cover that or not, I can tell you that guilty or innocent juries want to leave that courtroom knowing, in their hearts, they made the right decision. They will reconstruct the incident until THEY feel they know what happened. If there are blank spots in the prosecutions case, they will only have Zimmerman's word to gon on, so they will evaluate and "profile" if you will, the participants in the event. Here is what they will add up (If they have no more info than we have today)
1. What is Zimmermans history with, Blacks, other minorities, Law enforcement. Are there any patterns?
2. On that day Zimmerman called the police, not Martin
3. When the dispatcher told him that they didn't need him to follow he said "OK", Do witnesses or evidence (location of the fight etc) corroberate refiute that he stopped.
4. When asked for his address, Zimmerman hesitate because he said that he didn't know where Martin was. evidence, witnesses?
5. Martin had a Cell Phone, why didn't he call the police if he was or felt threatened, if he was a law abiding citizen, isn't that what Zimmerman did when he saw soneone suspicious?
6. Is it more believable (absent any evidence) that Zimmerman who knew the police were on their way, would pursue and incite a fight when he was completely within his legal rights an responsibilities at that point, knowing that he had called the police and that they would show up at anytime pursued and caused a confrontation, or is it more believable that the young man who didn't feel threatened enough, or didn't for some reason,want to call the police, decided to physically confront Zimmerman?
When they feel they have the answers, to their satisfaction, to 1-6 it will justify in their minds the final vote on the charges before them.
Again this is based on what WE know and don't at this moment.
edit to add: It will come down to the question "Did Zimmerman start the "fight" or did he do anything to cause us to feel that we couldn't convict Martin of assault if he started the fight?"
That simple
I mentioned this on one of the threads that got closed down. I still think this case was hand picked from day one as a case to challenge "stand your ground" and concealed carry.
They wanted a case with a crazy white man with a CCW in a Stand your Ground state shooting an innocent unarmed black kid.
It is obvious some in the media, some black activist groups, and some in goverment, have been molding this case to fit that description. The question is why? Is it something to challange the law, it it for a political talking point for the upcoming election, or something else? Also how far does it go? Are the recent rash of black flash mob attacks nationwide on white people, cause by agitators, perhaps in the same league?
Crazy days we live in.
I contend that at the end of the day it will all hinge on if Zimmerman physically assaulted Martin, and that led to the fight that got Zimmerman on his back and Martin shot. Anyone on the street can yell and call you a criminal, but that does not give you the right to beat the crap out of them and ground and pound them. The might try to pin an ethnic intimidation wrap on him, but pretty much unless they can prove Zimmerman was brandishing his firearm, or physically touched Martin before Martin attacked, I can't see how zimmerman can be found guilty of anything.
Zimmerman defended himself and Martin was one ugly thug looking person at 17. He was no longer the innocent looking kid. I believe the shooting was righteous.
2. On that day Zimmerman called the police, not Martin
We will see if he did
"We will see if he did" ?????
You have got to be kidding, right?
Where did the recording come from?
Who released the recording?
That is ridiculous.
I can't see how Rodney King was found not guilty or how the Officers were found guilty after seeing the "full" video that was played only once on TV. I can't see how the thugs that beat down the trucker walked away scot-free. I can't see how OJ walked. I hope I'm wrong but I see jail time for Zimmerman and I won't be surprised if they beat him to death in prison. But then I'm just going buy historical fact when race becomes the whole issue in a trial. If we don't get what we want we'll riot seems to sway prosecutors and juries. It shouldn't but it always seems to.
I can tell you how OJ walked
When Mark Furhman was caught in a lie and when the glove didn't fit.
In this case, IF the prosecution tries to establish a racist motive it will open the door for defense rebuttal, and from what we have heard about Zimmerman thus far, racial motive is not going to stand long in the minds of jurrors.
IMO this case IS, in the jury room, going to be about FACTS, real honest FACTS, and not assumptions and opinions that internet ex-spurts pass off as facts. Some EVIDENCE, not assumption or fantasy, or "must have" or "obviously" is going to have to show that Zimmerman physically started the fight for him to be convicted. This is not a Civil Court with a "Preponderance of evidence shows that "most likely"..... This is a Criminal Court, and Zimmerman is innocent until it is "Proven beyond a reasonable doubt". Unfortunately there are too many people who think the product of their own imaginations is some kind of "proof". By the time the jury sets to deliberation they will have been educated on the difference beyond the level of internet Ex-spurts.
I agree with you but it is because the laws are "*** backwards". Did you see the Black guy in Baltimore the other day that was acquitted for running down the White kids? Pretty disgusting to me.
Its not the law, although I agree there are many screwed up laws, it's the liberal judges and cockeyed juries that are being selected. Ive only been allowed to sit on one jury, civil case. All one juror was worried about was getting it over with and back to work. He was afraid hed lose his job. Another couldnt wait to get back to the bottle. One woman was so afraid shed make the wrong decision that I literally convinced her which way to vote. I could go on but there were only two of us that actually knew right from wrong and we literally convinced all the others to vote our way. I never want my life to be in hands of jury like the one I was on.
I was called and questioned for a criminal case. I was asked if I believed in the Hat Crime Law. I said no. I was then asked why. I told the DA that it was a useless law. He asked what I meant. I told him that criminals dont believe they will be caught so its not a deterrent. I also said that to add time to a persons sentence because they committed a crime against someone of another races was ludicrous. A crime is a crime no matter whom it is committed against and should carry the same penalty for all. I believe what REALLY upset the applecart is when I looked him straight in the eye and with emphases said, beside the law is not being applied equally. I was promptly dismissed.
I'm not talking aboput Zimmerman's 911 call, I'm talking about if Martin made a 911 call. If it exist that evidence would be released at the prelimary hearing.
I hate to bet on this case, but I would bet that the whole alleged cell phone exchange between Martin and the girlfriend was BS. Again its all a wait and see at the prelims.
The recording of that call (if it existed) would be in the hands of the same people that released the recording of Zimmermans call. Since they released one call to the public it would seem rather incongruous to not have released the other.
I think that is grasping at "Well, it could of happened"
Sorry and I was a LEO at the time of Rodney King, that was a complete and obvious *** woopin' . Was the *** woopin' deserved, probably, but its still very illegal for police beat the crap out of suspects that are down and not resisting.
OJ, unfortunately it was a matter of "Reasonable Doubt". If the Zimmerman case does not get dropped at the two prelims (Styandard Prelim and the Stand Your Ground hearing), and it goes to trial, Reasonable doubt will also play in Zimmerman's favor.
Zimmerman should get off, its just a matter if it will dropped at the prelims , or he will be found not guilty because they cannnot convict him of 2nd Degree murder or manslaughter because there is reasonable doubt.
I completely agree with this asessment.
I'm not a LEO, have never been a LEO and don't pretend to be a LEO. Did you see the video? The Whole video? I did! He was hopped up on drugs. They tried to get him cuffed and he picked up a cop and threw him. The cops jumped on him and brought him to his knees. He threw them off and stood back up. They knocked him down by hitting him in the legs with their sticks. He stood back up and continued fighting them. They started whaling on him and he went down. He kept trying to get back up so they kept hitting and started kicking him (that's the part they kept playing on TV over and over again) and he just wouldn't stay down. What do you do when a guy leads you on a high speed chase, wrecks and then keeps fighting you while you're trying to make an arrest? I guess they should have just said, oh well have a nice night and be on your way.
I've seen police brutality and police abuse. What they did, what I saw in the FULL vidio wasn't abuse it was justifiable force.
Why did he get off and why did the cops get convicted. Because the animals rioted and scared the hell out of the juries.
Someone above said Zimmerman ignored the dispatchers advice to not follow Martin and got out of the car to follow Martin anyway.
This is wrong.
Zimmerman was already out of the car. And when he was told he didn't need to follow Martin he said OK and all indications are that he did indeed stop. Why? Because he spent the next minute on the phone talking to the dispatcher and during that conversation told the dispatcher he didn't know where Trayvon was.
This blog basically puts together all the pieces about Trayvon Martin's girlfriend and it pretty much turns out that she's not his girlfriend, was not devastated, not hospitalized and it's all a giant smoke screen by the Martin's attorneys and that the Martin family is as much a victim of what's going on as is Zimmerman.
Great read, the blog.
MONEY TALKS. "Follow the Money" as Deep Throat said. Everyone is being played at the cost of one youngsters life to date and one young mans freedom and pending legal bills. Maybe his life as well.
The registered trademarking of the late sons name thing was revealing to moi.
All that is needed is ONE guilty plea somewhere, on any charge, for payday to arrive and ju$tice is only a chosen jury away.
Think Mommy and Daddy will write a best selling book on their ordeal and make a million dollars? Writing books is hard work I understand. I do wish Z would write one with M. Ayoob doing play by play and courtroom legal-beagle analysis... (might be a good learning tool for future CCW classrooms and help defray Z's legal costs along the way)
Self explanatory.

Letters to the EditorNov. 30, 1999
Affirmative action furthers discrimination, hypocrisy
Simply put, affirmative action promotes discrimination rather than detracting from it. The arguments made by minorities in favor of affirmative action are incredibly hypocritical.
They feel they should be hired because they are a minority. Such thinking does not eliminate discrimination, it creates it. If they really want to be treated equally, they can't expect to be handed a job because of their ethnicity. I think we all envision an ideal world where there are no racial boundaries and where people of all colors are treated with the same regard.
This goal cannot be reached so long as programs like affirmative action persist, because all affirmative action does is segregate us.
I have no problem with helping minorities get jobs, but taking them away from often more-qualified members of the majority is no better than the oppression forced upon blacks and other minorities earlier in the century. Affirmative action is a blatant form of discrimination and segregation. I think any minority that fights for equality while supporting affirmative action is a model of hypocrisy.

Level playing field thanks to Hopwood
Why is it when people who are pro-affirmative action talk about this issue, no one mentions merit? Why should someone be given something based on their ethnic background, rather than because they have earned it?
I believe this issue points more to the struggle between the haves and the have nots than to the matter of equality. I attended Baylor as a returning student, after finishing an enlistment in the USAF, and know first-hand that there are resources available for anyone with the desire and determination to continue their education.
The article 'Campus groups debate affirmative action's worth,' quoted someone as saying that 'Texas colleges are losing promising minorities to other states because of the Hopwood decision that made all collegiate affirmative action unlawful.' How is Texas losing promising students if everyone is held to the same standard?
If you have the grades and entrance scores required for admission into a university, how are you denied access? There was one statistic in the article that I question, 'women still make 72 percent less than men in the workplace' I myself doubt that a woman, performing the same job, makes 28 percent of my salary.
I do find one thing puzzling. When people talk about why affirmative action is needed, why is the area of athletics never discussed? Or for that matter, what about the nation's historically black colleges do the white students attending these schools feel like 'a drop of milk in a bowl of chocolate?'
Did the freshman who was quoted as making a similar comment in the aforementioned article not tour Baylor before she made the decision to attend?
My decision to attend Baylor was based on the fact that I felt the school demonstrated beliefs similar to mine and that it possessed a good reputation in the business community, not because of the student population.
Maybe I am naïve, but I thought people developed friendships based on common likes and dislikes, not because of skin color.

Ags thank Bears
for 'prayers, love'
Dear Baylor students and faculty,
Thank you so much for the outpouring of support your campus has provided ours during this horrible tragedy.
I wish I could describe what your prayers and love have done to help us begin to heal. Your university has shown nothing but class as we rise together to overcome this horrible event.
As I revisited the site where 12 members of my Aggie family perished, I saw three banners full of signatures from Baylor students. It was enough to bring me to tears.
I cannot express in words what kind of pain and grief blanket our campus right now, and I also cannot express how much we appreciate all the prayers, love and support coming to us from Waco and all around the world.
On behalf of all Aggies everywhere, thank you, Baylor and God bless you all.

Setting aside our
rivalries helps heal
I would like to extend a sincere thank you to the entire Baylor University community. As I walked around Bonfire site and looked at all the memorials, the ones that stuck in my mind the most were the banners posted by the Baylor students.
Knowing that Baylor, along with the rest of the schools in Texas, can put the rivalries aside to help us out in our time of need is something I will never forget.

More evaluations needed in classes
At the end of each semester, many Baylor professors distribute course evaluations to their classes. These evaluations give students a chance to tell their professors some of their honest reactions to their courses without fear of retribution. In many cases, these evaluations are the only way students can give compliments and suggestions to their professors.
Although many programs such as the BIC require course evaluations in nearly all their classes, many classes at Baylor remain unevaluated.
Last year, two of the three classes I took in my major did not give me a chance to respond to them, while even my beginning tennis class received evaluation forms. A friend of mine only evaluated one of her five classes last spring.
It seems that tenured professors and others who have taught at Baylor for several years are less likely to offer evaluations to their students, and those who are newer or involved in special programs like the BIC are more likely to do so.
I believe every student in every course should have an opportunity to evaluate their classes anonymously.
Most of us pay around $1000 for every course we take, on top of all the time and energy we give to the coursework itself. After taking a course, we may have suggestions for our professors that would improve their classes for future students.
I urge whoever is in charge of the course evaluation program to give all students the opportunity to share their opinions on every class, not just the ones with newer professors.

Storm causes power outage, damage in Elmwood Park
ELMWOOD PARK - Monday's storm left a trail of damage in Elmwood Park.
Strong winds and rain left residents on 53rd Street without power at around 2:30 p.m. One house in particular at 119 18th Ave. suffered significant damage.
Lou Vuoncino says he was inside when the top of an 80-foot tree came crashing down on his house. In addition to a broken fence, Vuoncino found four holes punched in the roof.
The homeowner says the damage could have been much worse with the strength of the wind that whipped through the community.

Banking on a bright future: Rozenboom leads Chamber in 2009-10
While natives of Iowa, Dave Rozenboom and his wife, Tammy, set their sites on a job opportunity in South Dakota after graduating from college. Although they had employment offers near each of their home towns, their rationale was that "if we don't leave home now, there's a good chance we never will."...
"Moving to Sioux Falls was a great opportunity to take that next step in my career and be closer to our families at the same time," Rozenboom said.
"Once we relocated here, I recognized that the Chamber of Commerce plays such a significant role in enhancing the quality of life in Sioux Falls and the surrounding area and I saw how willing everyone was to pitch in," he said. "When we decided we wanted to live here, I knew I was responsible to do my part."
Sioux Falls' success: A shared responsibility
It's no secret that Sioux Falls and our surrounding area is one of the very best regions in the country. Year in and year out, in good times and in challenging times, Sioux Falls stands tall. We are consistently recognized at the national level in any number of areas, and the past year has been no exception.
A recent example, in its 11th annual ranking of the Best Places for Business and Careers, Forbes ranked 400 metro areas (large and small) on 11 criteria, including: job growth, cost of living, income growth, labor supply, quality of life information, educational attainment and two new categories — projected job growth and subprime mortgages. For an amazing seventh year in a row, Sioux Falls ranked No. 1 out of the 200 small metro areas examined!

So, pick your side folks: A perfect night's sleep, or great sex? Apparently, more of you prefer the sleep. According to a new survey of 12,500 frequent travelers (sponsored by Westin Hotels & Resorts conducted with the help of the National Sleep Foundation), more than 51% of respondents preferred a perfect night of sleep to great sex (that's 20 percentage points higher than when Westin conducted a similar survey two years ago). Nearly half of those polled (42%) said they'd "rather have a sleeping pill on their pillow than a traditional chocolate," and 57% said a bad night's sleep has hurt their business performance.

The new disaster movie Into The Storm is now in cinemas. Sinead Brennan finds out whether you should experience some extreme weather.
It's been 18 years since Twister was released and we're going back into the eye of the tornado with Into The Storm. But unfortunately there aren't enough flying cows and fire tornadoes in the world to make this a must-watch.
Into The Storm is exactly what you would expect from your middle-of-the-road disaster movie, and the script really just serves to take the audience from one giant tornado scene to another. But even in the most action-packed, high-octane CGI-fests, you fundamentally need to care about the characters and their missions - and this is where Into The Storm just fails to hit the mark.
The film follows high-school teacher Gary (Richard Armitage) on a quest to find his son Donnie (Max Deacon) after they've been separated just before disaster strikes. While the premise is good – it worked in The Day After Tomorrow after all – I never really cared all that much if they were reunited or not.
It has to be said, however, that the found-footage style of filming does capture the essence of their family-life quite well. Certain exchanges between Gary and Donnie are almost uncomfortable to watch, in the sense that it is like sitting in a friend's house when they start arguing with their parents and you don't know where to look. So, as father and son, they are believable on screen.
But the ability to create some awkward tension is the only pro of the faux-documentary style of filming, and the addition of what (I'm assuming) are supposed to be comic-relief in the form of two hillbilly wannabe storm-chasers is more cringe than anything.
It's not the worst film I've ever seen but it's far from the best. If you're dying to go to the cinema this weekend, and fancy soaking up some special effects and utter destruction, then give it a shot – the sheer volume and variety of tornado will blow you away, but the screenplay leaves a lot to be desired.
Check out our interview with Richard Armitage and Max Deacon here:

As the first legally deaf player in NFL history, Coleman has inspired many young fans including a young girl who recently wrote him a letter.
The young girl is actually has a twin sister, and both are hearing impaired, They recently got a special surprise when Coleman rewarded them with tickets to the big game on 'Good Morning America.'

Watch: James Gunn, Chris Pratt & Marvel on 'Guardians of the Galaxy'
by Ethan Anderton
March 10, 2014
Source: AMC Theatres
Though Marvel's cosmic superhero assembly of Guardians of the Galaxy doesn't hit until August, the comic studio knows that they still have to put some effort into convincing some of the more skeptical or uninterested general audiences of their cinematic universe to get unboard with a property they've never heard of. That's why this past weekend, AMC Theatres hosted a 30-minute chat with Marvel head Kevin Feige, director James Gunn and the film's star Chris Pratt to discuss the late summer release. It's not overwhelmingly informative since it's pretty early, but it's still pretty good to hear what they have to say.
Here's the full interview for Guardians of the Galaxy from AMC Theatres:
The most interesting part (via Collider) might be this little bit of info:
"It couldn't be more distant in geography to the other films. 99% of this movie takes place on the other side of the galaxy. Nevermind the themes and character interaction… there are a handful of characters you'll see in this movie who will carry through to other films as threats to Earth."
And if you haven't had the pleasure yet, watch the first Guardians of the Galaxy trailer right here.
Guardians of the Galaxy is directed by James Gunn (Slither, Super). Brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits — Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand. The Marvel Studios film arrives in theaters August 1st, 2014.

Messi needs a magic memory
If the Champions League final is the biggest of Pep Guardiola's managerial career it also has huge significance for Leo Messi who missed the last Champions League final against Arsenal.
Messi is in the form of his life having scored 37 goals in all competitions.
He said: "This is the most important game of my life. Not being able to play the game against Arsenal was so tough but now I can make up for that. We are aware that we are very close to making history. We have played so well all year and now we have a great chance to make it all worthwhile."
Messi claimed Guardiola's influence had been key in his transformation from goal maker to chance taker.
He said: "I am scoring more goals but that has a lot to do with the way the team is playing. The fact that I am playing much closer to the area helps me.
"It was the first thing that Pep Guardiola said to me in the summer that I had to get more goals."
Guardiola has spent the whole season shooting down the euphoria that has surrounded a record points and goals haul in La Liga for Barcelona.
But as Omens go the venue for the final perhaps does not bode well. After finishing his career at Barca he went to Italy where he played for Brescia and then to Roma for whom the Olympic stadium is home.
He said: "What memories do I have? Well mainly I remember the bench! I didn't play too many games. They were two very intense years with some good times and some bad times too."

As an award-winning expert in the field of nutrition, fitness, and wellness, for Chrissy Barth it is all about balance. Not only does she focus on the balance of her health, but also balances being the founder and CEO of Live.Breathe.Nutrition., and spokesperson and consultant to sports teams, health clubs, local television news programs, and more. Chrissy Barth is certainly a motivational mentor and role model, encouraging residents and professionals to "live" and "breathe" nutrition.
Arizona Foothills Magazine: What exactly do you do in the field of nutrition? What are your daily responsibilities?
Chrissy Barth: I am an entrepreneur, a registered dietitian, yoga teacher, and media and communications expert in the field of holistic nutrition. I am passionate about teaching others about optimal health and performance by "taking the confusion out of nutrition."
I am the founder and CEO of Live.Breathe.Nutrition., LLC, a nutrition coaching and consulting practice in Scottsdale, Arizona where I serve as a media spokesperson and nutrition consultant to sports teams, eating disorder programs for teens and adults, medical and training facilities, health clubs and spas, corporations, and local and national media outlets. I am also an Adjunct Faculty member with the Maricopa Community Colleges where I teach sports nutrition and serve as a mentor to many aspiring future dietitians and dietetic technicians. I am also the newsletter editor for "Ventures," a newsletter for the Nutrition Entrepreneurs Dietetic Practice Group of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
My daily responsibilities vary and often include answering and returning emails and phone calls with colleagues, clients, and other health professionals; writing blog entries and nutrition articles; working with the media - print, television, and radio; leading nutrition groups and individual coaching sessions for clients with eating disorders; presenting to athletes and coaches on various sports nutrition topics and meeting with individual athletes for nutrition coaching, as well as being a guest speaker presenting on various nutrition topics.
AFM: Were you always a health nut? How did you get into this industry?
CB: Not always. I was an athlete growing up and saw firsthand the important role that nutrition played in my sports performance. For example, when I cut my calories too low, I cramped often and had no energy to support my athletic events. I realized then that nutrition is a vital component to a sports performance diet. Live and learn!
AFM: What do you advise as far as having snacks throughout the day?
N: Prepare and plan ahead. Go for the optimal combo of a fiber-rich carbohydrate paired with a lean protein source. Some examples include: a handful of trail mix; natural peanut butter in a whole grain sandwich thin with a 1/2 sliced banana on top; low-fat chocolate milk with a piece of fruit; string cheese and a portion of whole grain crackers; a granola bar with peanut butter or glass of low-fat milk; Greek yogurt with berries; or 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese with fruit. I also enjoy the individual serving portion bags of Popchips (especially the new flavor - sweet potato) paired with string cheese.
AFM: What are the best and worst sources of carbs?
CB: There are no "good" vs. "bad" foods, including carbs. I preach my 80-20 guideline. As part of this guide, I encourage people to choose nutrient-rich foods and beverages 80 percent of the time. This consists of fiber-rich whole grains, a rainbow of fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy products, lean proteins and heart healthy unsaturated fats. These offer an array of vitamins and minerals for optimal health and performance.
For the remaining 20 percent, I believe people should feel comfortable enjoying the foods and drinks they like, including those sweetened with sugar. I counsel my clients that a mini can of soda or a slice of cake can be a part of a healthy diet, if they also drink water and eat other nutrient-rich foods.
AFM: What is the biggest key to success in losing and maintaining your weight?
CB: Asking yourself, "why do I want to lose weight?" Successful weight loss requires a lifestyle change rather than a quick fix or fad diet, which usually leads to deprivation and then the all-too-common yo-yo dieting effect. I encourage people to work closely with a registered dietitian and to be honest with both themselves and the dietitian. Food is personal and the goal for most is to improve one's relationship with food. Food is not the enemy. Weight maintenance is probably more difficult - however, when being committed to a lifestyle change while positively changing behaviors and habits, the maintenance phase can be better achieved. Food, fitness, hydration, sleep, and stress management are key components to a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
AFM: How do you get children to be healthy?
CB: Focus on the foods and beverages kids need first - the nutrient-rich ones followed by the less nutrient-rich foods. See my 80-20 guideline previously mentioned. I also believe family dinners are vital! Get the kids involved and communicate!
AFM: What are the worst foods for you? What can you substitute instead?
CB: The worst foods are moldy foods, trans-fats, and any food that one is allergic or intolerant to. Trans-fats (also known as partially-hydrogenated vegetable oils) are found in many processed foods found in the center aisles of most grocery stores. Trans-fats are preservatives used to prolong the shelf life of foods. With this being said, aim for a whole foods approach when it comes to your nutrition game plan for the majority of the time. I often tell my clients that when reading the ingredients list on the food label, if one cannot pronounce a word or if the list is a laundry list of ingredients, better to do without.
AFM: What's the easiest thing we can do to be healthier?
CB: Be mindful of food portions and the proportions of food on your plate. Increase fruits and veggies; stay hydrated with water; eat breakfast daily - making sure to include a lean protein source; move each day, obtain quality and adequate sleep, and manage stress.
AFM: How can you speed up your metabolism?
CB: Eat breakfast; stay well-hydrated with water and green tea; incorporate spices into your diet rather than using the salt shaker; eat your fruits and veggies full of vitamins and minerals that act as "spark plugs" that help metabolize the foods we eat more efficiently; fuel roughly every 3 hours or so throughout the day (i.e. think 3 meals and 2-3 snacks daily rather than 3 large meals).
AFM: What's your favorite healthy food? What's your favorite unhealthy food?
CB: Favorite healthy food: organic crunchy peanut butter
Unhealthy food.... anything with mold on it!
AFM: What does fitness and health mean to you?
CB: Fitness and health mean living a vibrant and fulfilling life. I am honored to be living my dream of being a registered dietitian helping many people make peace with food. I also enjoy athletes getting the message that nutrition is an integral role to their success and sports performance.

Spencer Eldin pop-up show in LA this weekMay 18th, 2011 | By RJ Rushmore | No Comments »
Spencer Eldin, known for being an assistant to Shepard Fairey and "The Nirvana Baby" from the cover of Nevermind, will be showing some of his artwork at a pop-up show this weekend in LA. Cash Only is only open for 5 days, and opens on Thursday night from 8-11pm. Eldin is a young artist, but he's definitely got at least the technical side of things down already. Should be an interesting event.

Hi. I have this DVD with only two buttons (in the main menu), each for setting a language track. I would like these buttons to make a subtitle selection (there´s only 1) in addition to select audio.
Presently actions taken:
BUTTON 1 pressed --> selects audio 1
BUTTON 2 pressed --> selects audio 2
Aimed actions:
BUTTON 1 pressed --> selects audio 1 AND turns off the subtitle
BUTTON 2 pressed --> selects audio 2 AND turns on the subtitle
** Solutions preferrably with DVDRemake (or PGCEdit)
** Present button commands on DVDRemake are:
BUTTON 1 pressed --> R[0]=0; LinkTailPGC (highlight button 1)
BUTTON 2 pressed --> R[0]=1; LinkTailPGC (highlight button 1)

That can be done with PGCedit, but since every DVD structure is different, we can't just give you a generic command to do it. Basically, you load your DVD in PGCedit, then turn on trace mode and follow the commands step by step until you find which PGC has the audio and sub selection commands (usually a set SPRM, but there may be some GPRM commands associated too), copy them to new dummy PGC's and change the calling command for the buttons. You can also modify the existing PGC's, or any number of other ways, it's all up to you. Take the time to figure it out, you'll be glad and impressed with what you can do. Also, did you notice the box marked similar threads at the bottom of the page?

A New Simpsons Movie Isn't Happening Any Time Soon
"Maybe another 10, 15 years."By Andre Tartar
"Maybe another 10, 15 years."By Andre Tartar
The 'Morning Glory' ad tells you the entire plot, and James L. Brooks relates how his 'Simpsons Movie' experience showed him that telling all is the new Hollywood order.By Claude Brodesser-Akner
Plus Don Cheadle, The Simpsons, and Tron!
For the Japanese version of The Simpsons Movie, the voice actors who dub the show for television are being replaced by celebrities in an effort to bring in mainstream moviegoers.
The Simpsons rule the box office.
Scott's been a Simpsons fan ever since he started writing for the Times in 2000.
Ben Wasserstein and Dan Kois fight it out, IM style.
Fourteen towns of Springfield are competing to be named the "real-life Springfield," each presenting a homemade short video in an effort to sell its town as the perfect place for a Simpsons movie premiere. We watched them all, from the totally amateurish to the slightly less amateurish, and can firmly state that a lot of Middle American town managers really, really like The Simpsons. Which of the shorts is worth your time? Who should win your vote?
The spiffy Website for The Simpsons Movie just added a feature that allows you to create your own Simpsons character, complete with yellow skin, four-fingered hands, and dramatic overbite.
