Today letters were hand-delivered to the Washington State offices of U.S. Senators Ed Murray and Maria Cantwell (both D-WA), as well as U.S. Representative Jim McDermott (D-WA), urging them to oppose The Egg Products Inspection Act Amendments of 2013 (H.R. 1731/S. 820). Green Vegans, NARN, Action for Animals, and United Poultry Concerns were signatories to the letters. The Egg Products Inspection Act Amendments of 2013 would condemn egg-laying hens to confinement in battery cages forever, and would prohibit any future challenge by state law or public vote. This bill has provisions that would fare even worse for hens than the similar bill that failed to pass last year.
Below is the text of the letter delivered to Congressman Dermott–the letters to Senators Cantwell and Murray are exactly the same except for the substitution of "S. 820" for any mention of "H.R. 1731."
Dear Congressman McDermott,
H.R. 1731, the Egg Products Inspection Act Amendments of 2013, is a far worse bill than proposed in 2012. Though the bill amends an Act that addresses itself entirely to the quality of table eggs and concerns about maintaining public health, the H.R. 1731 amendments take on an entirely new subject: changes in the housing of hens who produce table eggs. Though this letter does not cover all the flaws and threats of the bill, these are our major concerns. We oppose this bill in its entirety and ask you to oppose it for the following reasons.
First, no person, organization, or state government may improve the welfare and treatment of egg-laying hens if it differs from the inadequacies of the Act. There is no sunset language in this bill. According to the proposed bill, no person, agency, or act of Washington State government could implement science-based improvements based on studies of animal behavior before or after 2029 when the bill comes into full implementation: Requirements within the scope of this Act with respect to minimum floor space allotments or enrichments for egg-laying hens housed in commercial egg production which are in addition to or different than those made under this Act may not be imposed by any State or local jurisdiction [Section 4(b)(c) of the bill]. H.R. 1731 will disenfranchise your constituents from this matter—completely. We hope this issue alone, the disenfranchisement of the people of Washington State, will move you to oppose this misleading bill.
Second, H.R. 1731 removed important definitions and deadlines. It currently states: "(a) The term 'adequate environmental enrichments' means adequate perch space, dust bathing or scratching areas, and nest space, as defined by the Secretary of Agriculture, based on the best available science, including the most recent studies available at the time that the Secretary defines the term." The deadline schedule for the Secretary of Agriculture to define "adequate environmental enrichments" has been deleted from the 2013 version of the bill. The deleted section from 2012 read, "The Secretary shall issue regulations defining this term not later than January 1, 2017, and the final regulations shall go into effect on December 31, 2018." The number of nesting spaces serves as an example of the need for clearly defined implementation. Research demonstrates that the lack of nesting opportunity is extremely stressful to the hen as it is one of several innate behavioral needs. Yet the Secretary is not required to specify any interior changes to cages excepting square inches per hen, itself a gross denial of the hens' basic needs.
Third, the 2012 version of the bill used the word "must" consistently as the implementing mandate, as in "must provide environmental enrichment"; the 2013 bill (the "Amendments") replaces "must" with "shall" throughout. We believe "must" was replaced with "shall" to further weaken the minimal, humane-washing changes it proposes. Going to the U.S. Federal Register Website, "Drafting Legal Documents / Principles of Clear Writing / Section 3" you will see they believe it correct to, "use 'must' instead of 'shall'" because: "shall imposes an obligation to act, but may be confused with prediction of future action" while "must imposes obligation, indicates a necessity to act". The plain English use of "must" in the 2012 bill is obvious when compared to "shall" in the 2013 bill. That change must be opposed along with the bill.
Fourth, cruel practices will continue under this bill: burning off the sensitive tips of beaks ensures a lifetime of pain and suffering—in addition to disabling the hens' ability to groom their feathers and pick off lice; the wholesale slaughter of male chicks at birth, often by suffocation or grinding while alive, will continue because they do not lay eggs; female chicks will never experience the enriched experience of bonding with a mother hen; the maximum space allowed in caged confinement when the bill is fully implemented in 2029 is one square foot for the larger brown variety of hens; yet the overwhelming number of hens used in the US egg industry are the smaller white leghorn variety. They will theoretically receive a maximum of only 124 square inches per hen, or fourteen percent less than one square foot. After enduring this bill's impacts, not a single hen will be spared from a life of deprivation before slaughter.
Fifth, there are no criminal penalties for violating the provisions of this bill. If the Secretary of Agriculture finds noncompliance, he submits reports to various committees. Eggs without carton labels describing how the hens were raised "shall" not be part of commerce. Eggs coming from covered sources that do not provide the "enrichment" and tiny space allocations less than those as scheduled in the Act as amended by H.R. 1731 are prohibited from commerce. But, again, there are no provisions for penalties, confiscations, fines, or any other impediment that would stop that commerce even after a notice, if any, was given.
Sixth, these amendments apply to egg-laying hens, but the Act they are being appended to is about egg handling and grading to maintain public health. We do not see any specific provisions that hen cages can be inspected and reported, only the facilities where eggs are "handled". In addition, there are no appropriations to pay for the compliance inspections, reporting, and enforcement, if any.
Seventh, H.R. 1731 does not include over 56 million commercial egg-laying hens who are "in production" in any given month. This is multiplied over the course of every year as the egg-laying hens are killed and replaced when productivity declines. "All layers in the United States on April 1, 2013 totaled 348 million…. The 348 million layers consisted of 292 million layers producing table or market type eggs, 53.0 million layers producing broiler-type hatching eggs, and 3.11 million layers producing egg-type hatching eggs." (USDA, Cornell, 2013). S.802 only covers table eggs. In addition, all flocks of less than 3,000 hens are excluded from this bill. Why should any hen be denied consideration by the proponents of the ill-conceived H.R. 1731?
Eighth, this bill does not protect human workers or hens from ammonia. The 2012 amendments allowed 25 ppm of ammonia in the air in egg-layer housing but the 2013 version adds an allowance for temporary increases for unusual conditions. At 25ppm, "Marked eye, skin, and respiratory irritation" occurs in humans. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Recommended Exposure Limit (REL). However, "temporary" is not defined in the proposed legislation regarding permissible ammonia levels over 25ppm and is therefore of unspecified duration. How long is "temporary" and what are "unusual conditions"?
Chickens exposed to 20 parts per million of ammonia for 42 days are susceptible to pulmonary congestion, swelling, and hemorrhage. Studies documenting the destructive effects of atmospheric ammonia on chickens and turkeys are referenced in: Carlile, Fiona S. 1984. Ammonia in Poultry Houses: A Literature Review. World's Poultry Science Journal 40: 99-113.
Ammonia is not the only toxic gas in the chicken houses, and these other toxic gases are not addressed in the proposed legislation: nitrous oxide, CO2, hydrogen sulfide, methane. Chickens need three times more air volume than humans per kilogram of body weight to meet their oxygen requirements. The toxic gases in the houses added to the airborne debris (feathers, dander, organic dust, insecticides, microbes) are as cruel as cages. This toxic waste environment is also detrimental to ecosystems and contributes to global warming.
Congressman McDermott, we ask you to make certain this bill does not pass out of committee, and should it progress to the House and Senate conference committee for resolution, please oppose it there. Remember those of us who are dedicated to ending the real suffering of the hens NOT covered by these amendments. If H.R. 1731 passes, we will be denied our advocacy and hope for ending animal abuse. We, your constituents, and national organizations who specialize in chickens and farmed animal advocacy, oppose it.
Please oppose and defeat H.R. 1731.

If there is a holiday that begs for wine, it is Thanksgiving. More than any other beverage, wine is ineluctably tied to the harvest, to bounty, to the very core of what we are thankful for. But there is another reason, too, and it is hedonistic. Wine at Thanksgiving teaches us how to dine, not just eat. It is a provocative distinction, the idea of dining versus eating. But every year, Thanksgiving is there as a reminder that it is actually pretty easy to take a humble meal and elevate it to an extraordinary experience. A few candles, cloth napkins, beautiful plates, a sensational wine and all of a sudden, turkey and mashed potatoes are transformed. It is this transformation that makes Thanksgiving so special and so memorable for each of us.
Beautiful plates, of course, are the easy part. The nagging question always seems to be, which wine? Or better yet, wines. After decades of enjoying wonderful Thanksgiving meals, here is my strategy:
Forget about perfection. Like most human marriages, food and wine marriages are rarely perfect. On Thanksgiving, there are just too many flavor variables going on, everything (possibly) from cranberry sauce laced with orange peel to brussels sprouts with chestnuts to sausage and wild rice stuffing, to get too hung up on a quest for the perfect match. Besides, it is the feeling around the table, the combined effect of the food plus the wine plus the people plus the ambience, that counts most.
One easy axiom of food and wine pairing is simply this: Match good to good, great to great. If you are having a humble Thanksgiving with a simple roasted bird, mashed potatoes and root vegetables, why buy an expensive rare Bordeaux? A Thanksgiving meal of this sort is comfort food at its finest hour, and so the wines should be comforting, too. Think juicy Zinfandel or a lush, super-soft Shiraz. On the other hand, if you are pulling out all the stops and having Thanksgiving as your pièce-de-résistance dinner of the year, that expensive Bordeaux would be a great choice, as would a top-notch Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Synchronize intensity. A turkey with a rich stuffing and rich gravy does not cry out for a delicate light wine. (Just as a lovely mild fish dish is not built to handle a massively concentrated wine.) Powerful red varietals include Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Syrah and most good Merlots. Powerful whites (and if you are a white-wine lover, who says you should not have white) include Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer and Viognier.
Let food flavors suggest wine flavors. For example, a roast turkey with a spicy stuffing immediately suggests a spicy wine, like a peppery Syrah from the Rhône or a flamboyant Gewürztraminer from Alsace. So when you go to the wine shop, bring your recipes with you, and be sure to tell the wine merchant what the dominant flavors are in the dishes you will be cooking.
In the end, there is no single perfect wine for a given dish. Rather, there are lots of intriguing likely culprits. Part of the joy of cooking, it seems to me, is the discovery of those wines. That is why on my dinner table this Thanksgiving, there will be (as there always is) more than one wineglass at each place setting and more than one type of wine waiting to be poured. At some point in the meal, I will ask friends and family what they think the best wine is, and opinions will always differ, making for a lively dinner table conversation. Which is just as it should be on Thanksgiving.
One final question: How much wine do you need? That depends on how long the dinner will last. Keep in mind that it is never bad to have leftover wine, but it is always frustrating (and sometimes embarrassing) to run out. That is why caterers work on the formula of one bottle per person. Since a standard bottle of wine contains about five glasses, this should be more than enough for Thanksgiving and still leave you with wine to enjoy on the weekend while you are recuperating!

I know I must really look sad as little kids keep smiling at me. I try to remember that I've left this building many times feeling this way -- scared, sad, disappointed and time after time things ended up not so bad.
Even though they don't always go great, I've always liked coming to New York Presbyterian for my pulmonary hypertension appointments. For years I was seen at the pulmonary clinic. Six month ago I graduated to the heart failure clinic.
There's this little deli on the corner of 68th and York, half a block from the hospital entrance. I stop there most times I come here. They have the most awesome sandwiches named after cities. And the desserts are amazing. I usually stop in after my appointments and get a cup of tea and a sandwich or baklava. If you've never tried baklava you just have to. I made it in 8th grade home ec and have loved it ever since. Even when money's tight it's almost impossible to resist. Then if it's a nice day I sit across the street, eat and people-watch for awhile. Sometimes I take a walk to the church a couple blocks away and stop in for a few minutes. It's pretty much the only time I set foot into a church, being a believer in God but not organized religion (as the niece of a nun, a sliver of good old Catholic guilt hits me whenever I say that!) My little routine makes coming here not so bad, even though I often leave the doctor's office with bad news -- like today.
So as I sit across the street from the hospital waiting for my ride, even the comforting 'are you still smiling' phone calls from my husband do little to make me feel better for more than a few minutes at a time (and he usually can ALWAYS make me feel better). Suddenly the line in the Jett song playing on my iPod, 'I'm happy just to be alive,' makes me burst out in tears. An overwhelming sadness floods in as the tears flood out. But I know it's only temporary. I'll allow myself these few moments of 'woe is me' and then I'll get on with it.
I don't do self pity. I think it's just freaken obnoxious. Sure everyone feels bad for a little while from time to time but to dwell on the bad if you've been dealt a raw deal just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I mean you have to live with whatever it is that you're upset about, then in addition you spend time feeling bad about it, well then you're just doubling the shit. To quote a friend: 'it is what it is.' We just gotta deal with what life gives us -- good, bad or indifferent, it is what it is.
After all, good can be found in just about anything. For instance, how many people ultimately change their lives after they've been diagnosed with HIV? Facing a life-threatening disease very often gives us the will to fight to be alive. To want to be alive. To want to live and change our lives so we are living, not just surviving. Making something good out of something bad. There is just about always something good that can be found in something bad -- a bright side. But right now, just for these few moments, I feel like my world is crumbling.
My pulmonary hypertension has been getting worse. For about a month now just walking across the apartment gets me out of breath. My heart starts pounding, my arms and chest burn. I had managed to come completely off using oxygen but now I sleep with it on every night and most days have to use it 10 or 20 times throughout the day. Climbing stairs has become really hard, but I do like the piggyback rides I get out of it (bright side)! I can only walk about half a block at a time and inclines and hills are absolute torture. It seems my medication just isn't working anymore, even though the dose has been tripled.
Long story short, a few tests need to be done to confirm but my doctors want me to go on Remodulin, a subQ pump. Basically they insert a tube into the fat in your stomach and attach a little pump that you wear against your stomach or in a belt around you. It's 24 hours a day. So if I wore a tight shirt or dress it could be seen. It's there when I sleep, when I take a shower, when I have sex. Yes, very attractive. Happily I'm lucky enough to have a husband that wouldn't care if I had to drag around something the size of a refrigerator as long as it made me healthier (bright side again).
But a pump -- wow. Not far behind that when Remodulin doesn't work anymore comes the catheter in my chest. I sat listening in horrified amazement to my doctor as he looked at the floor and told me that these things have to be tried before I'll be accepted as a transplant candidate. Whoa, back up. I still believe it's stress making me this sick and my doctor, who works directly underneath one of the best PH doctors in the world and consults with her on every move, just said the word transplant?! Referring to me?!
When you live with pulmonary hypertension you're told and the literature all says that the final stage is a heart/lung transplant, but he's saying this now? Not 10 years down the line or never like I always believed would be the case. I'm at the end of stage 3 boarding on stage 4 he says, the final stage. What the hell?! Six months ago I was fine. I had bad days, even bad weeks and sure as hell would never run a marathon but now he's telling me that I am this sick to where I need a 24-hour pump attached to me? Sick enough to even mention the word 'transplant'?! After all, I'm finally HAPPY. My life is far from perfect but it is good and getting better and better. How could this be happening now?
Okay self-pity time complete. Over, finished. Reality check now:
Number 1 -- there are still tests that need to be done. A right heart cath will tell all.
Number 2 -- I got sick when my stress level became unmanageable. I know from the past that stress really affects the heart. Remove the stress and the symptoms will follow.
Number 3 -- I believe in Karma. I have done a lot of good in the world and I am finally getting some of that back. This too will work out.
Number 4 -- if it doesn't, we'll make the best of it. I have an extremely supportive partner who loves me no matter what. We can get through anything.
Number 5 -- there is a bright side. And that is that there is a subQ pump and I can get it. I could live in another country where I don't have access to it. My heart breaks for those who do. Also, there could have been no such thing as Remodulin. If the company who makes it hadn't of been able to complete research and clinical trials which happens all the time, if the FDA didn't approve it then I wouldn't have this option at all. But it does exist and I can get it. It is there if I need it -- major bright side.
So I am okay now. I will deal with this and get through it. Life is still amazing and beautiful. If I have to wear a pump then I will. And I will, every single day, be happy just be alive.

Quentin Jammer remains cracked, but he's no longer in pieces.
He is emerging from the fog of a season, in football and in his life, in which he drifted through days unable to focus. For months, he fought only half-heartedly to escape an encompassing sadness. He would drive home from practice and go straight to bed, desiring to get most days over with. Many nights, he marinated his despair in alcohol.
Now, the laugh that is really a giggle is making a guarded return, more frequently punctuating his sentences if not yet as ever-present as it was.
"It still hurts," Jammer said one day this week, over Japanese food not far from Chargers Park. "The difference is I'm better."
It was at last month's "Celebration of Life" for Junior Seau that I told Jammer I wanted to get together to talk. That occasion, to remember a man who had taken his own life, was merely coincidence, even though I knew Jammer had endured a rough year.
And so it was that just a few minutes into lunch on Wednesday, Jammer set the tone for a time that would more than once find one or both men pausing for the sole purpose of making sure the tears didn't spill and drip into the rice.
"I'm not going to pretend to know what Junior was going through," Jammer said. "But I've been there. I've thought about it."
There was no drama in this admission, no breathlessness or expectant look. Just sadness fused with gratitude.
Every once or twice in a career, even covering the NFL, the land of us-against-them, where not-quite-the-whole-truth passes for transparency, you are fortunate enough to get to know a man soaked through with candor, dripping honesty.
Jammer is one of those men. With him, there is never pretense, only real.
He's Texas strong and Texas stubborn, yet also prairie humble and possessing a compassion and sensitivity instilled by the mother that raised him. I've told him often that he is a simple man, and he knows to take it as the supreme compliment it's meant to be.
You know Jammer as the rock of what has been the Chargers' ever-changing secondary.
He has missed just two games since 2003 and among NFL cornerback only Tampa Bay's Ronde Barber has started more games over the past nine seasons. Jammer is the longest-tenured Charger, and in his nine seasons as the starting left cornerback has played next to six different starters at strong safety, four at free safety and four at right corner.
From 2006-10, he allowed an average of four touchdowns, just 7.2 yards per attempt against him and ranked eighth in the league with 69 passes defended.
Then came 2011 and the growing concern that time had caught up to Jammer, who will turn 33 later this month. He allowed six touchdowns and broke up just eight passes as opposing quarterbacks averaged 10.5 yards per attempt against him.
"Last year," Jammer said, "let's just put it out there, was not my best year."
As I was calculating the next question to see if we could get to the core of why, Jammer just laid it on the table next to the wasabi.
"I was going through a divorce," he said. "It's hard playing football when so much is on your mind."
We all know the statistic. Half of all marriages end in divorce. We've become not only cynical about this most sacred of unions but numb to its destruction.
But all Quentin Jammer ever wanted to be was a husband and a dad. If you knew him, you knew that.
He grew up without the father he wanted. The vow Jammer made to himself to always be with his wife and children was not one of those tucked away in the subconscious. This is a man who many times over the years boiled down his life choices to the unassailable desire and sustaining need he had to place family above all else.
"I never wanted to be like what my dad and mom were," Jammer said. "I wanted to be married forever."
Being a husband and father were intertwined. Watch him play football, this most physical of cornerbacks, and you appreciate Jammer's ardor for the game. But football player would be listed third next to his name in the dictionary. Being a husband and father defined him.
You didn't see Quentin in public without Alicia. She shared billing on the name of his charitable foundation. Ask him what he'd be doing after work, and he'd smile and launch into a story about wrestling or playing ball with one or more of his three young sons.
Last year was different. He tried to keep his unraveled personal life a secret, but soon teammates and coaches knew. He practically sleepwalked through practices, meetings and even games.
"I would try to shake myself out of it, get the cobwebs out and just think," he recalled. "But there were so many things to deal with, so much was going through my head. I couldn't focus.
"I've always been a resilient guy. You get knocked down, you jump back up. But I never thought I'd come out the end of this … The only thing you can think of is the bad (stuff)."
Confidence is the one trait that has always defined Jammer, especially through those early years with the Chargers when the fan base was not shy in contending the former first-round pick wasn't making enough interceptions and was committing too many penalties. He believed in himself, and it was virtually impossible to chip away at the armor or self-assurance.
Quentin Jammer, of all people, knew who he was.
But then he didn't.
"To me, it was kind of …" he said before trailing off. "As far as being a role model, I mean, I put it out there, I was always going to be with my wife. I never thought I'd be divorced ... The biggest thing was I felt like a failure, a failure as a husband and a failure as a father."
He remembers a play in November against the Bears where his man took off up the field and Jammer wasn't even aware.
"I was on the other hash," he said. "For what reason, I don't know. That's when I was like, 'This is bad. I'm mentally shot.' "
It's no one's business how the Jammer family dissolved into shared custody.
"People change and (stuff) happens," said Jammer, who spoke only of the importance of his sons being secure and Alicia being happy. "To this day I love the hell out of my wife – or, my ex-wife."
What Jammer does want to get across is the lesson he took from his time in the darkness. He first tried to hide his depression from his mother and younger brother, to whom Jammer has been a father of sorts. He did have a close friend, Ian Kennedy, who would not let Jammer push him away. And when Jammer informed his family of his troubles, they responded only with support.
"The thing I'll take away from that is you don't go through that alone," Jammer said. "Talk to somebody. Somebody may snap you out of it ... I learned people really care about me and love me for me."
He said there was no magical moment that got him up from the floor.
"Just time," Jammer said. "You go out and you heal. You heal the best way you know how. You see all the people that support you and love you. You find out they all care about you. It gradually happened. I just got a little bit more happy, a little bit more happy. It just got a little better every day."
He sees now he did not fail his kids or his wife or his brother or mom.
He does, however, feel indebted to many, including Norv Turner.
"This was the toughest thing I ever had to deal with," he said. "Am I still affected by it? Yes. But will it affect my season this year? No. This will probably be my best year. I owe it to the team. I owe it to Norv, who was one of my biggest supporters. He was there, he stood by me, just knowing what I was going through. I owe him and my teammates a great year.
"You still deal with some things. But at the end of the day everything you go through, good or bad, it either makes you a better person, a stronger person, or it breaks you. I won't ever let anybody break me. I was close."
And then came the laugh that is really a giggle.

Who cannot get married
Young people
If you are 16 or 17 you cannot marry without parental consent. Both parents with parental responsibility must give parental consent. In some circumstances, other people may give parental consent. In Northern Ireland a young person under 18 cannot marry without the consent of certain people.
For more information about who can give parental consent, you should consult an experienced adviser, for example, at a Citizens Advice Bureau. To search for details of your nearest CAB, including those that can give advice by email, click on nearest CAB.
Relatives who may not marry
Some relatives are not allowed to marry. If they do, the marriage will be automatically void even if they do not know they are related. A person cannot marry any of the following relatives:
- a child, including an adopted child
- a parent, including an adoptive parent
- a brother or sister, including a half-brother or half-sister
- a parent's brother or sister, including a half-brother or half-sister
- a grandparent
- a grandchild
- a brother's or sister's, including half-brother's or half-sister's, child.
Adopted children and their genetic parents and genetic grandparents may not marry. If they do, the marriage will be automatically void (see under heading Marriages which are not valid) even if they do not know they are related. Adopted children may not marry their adoptive parents but they are allowed to marry the rest of their adoptive family, including their adoptive brother or sister.
People who are step relations or in-laws may marry only in certain circumstances.

Transsexual people
A transsexual person who has applied for and has been granted a full gender recognition certificate by the Gender Recognition Panel can get a new birth certificate which reflects their acquired gender. In England and Wales, they will then be able to marry someone of the opposite or same gender to their acquired gender, or in Northern Ireland, they will then be able to marry someone of the opposite gender. However, if a transsexual person does not have a gender recognition certificate, they are legally considered to be the gender that is on their original birth certificate.
Getting engaged
Engagements are mainly for cultural reasons and have limited status. However, they can be used, for example, in immigration law as evidence of intention to marry.
One of the parties can decide to end an engagement as an agreement to marry cannot be legally enforced. If an engagement is broken, a woman can keep the engagement ring unless, at the time she was given it, the man specifically said that it should be returned if the engagement were broken. Any other property belonging to the couple should be divided between them in the same way as property would be divided if the couple divorced. If the couple cannot agree about entitlement to property, either person can apply to a court to decide the issue, provided this is done within three years of the end of the engagement. Legal advice will be needed in these circumstances.
Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements
A pre-nuptial agreement is a contract entered into before marriage which outlines how a couple wish to divide their money and property if they get divorced. A post-nuptial agreement is similar but entered into after marriage.
Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements are now legally binding unless considered to be unfair by the court.
You should get legal advice if you are thinking about entering into one of these agreements.
Where can a marriage take place
Same sex couples can only marry in a religious ceremony, if the religious organisation has agreed to carry out same sex weddings, and the premises have been registered for the marriage of same sex couples. Religious organisations or individual ministers do not have to marry same sex couples. Same sex couples cannot marry in The Church of England or the Church in Wales.
A marriage can take place in:-
- a Register Office
- premises approved by the local authority such as a hotel
- a church of the Church of England, Church in Wales, Church of Ireland, Presbyterian or Roman Catholic Church in N. Ireland (opposite sex couples only)
- a synagogue or any other private place if both partners are Jewish
- a Meeting House if one or both partners are either members of the Society of Friends (Quakers) or are associated with the Society by attending meetings
- any registered religious building (England and Wales only)
- the home of one of the partners if the partner is housebound or detained, for example, in prison
- a place where one partner is seriously ill and not expected to recover, for example, in hospital
- a licensed naval, military or air force chapel.
Local authority approved premises
Local authorities in England and Wales may approve premises other than Register Offices where civil marriages may take place. Applications for approval must be made by the owner or trustee of the building, not the couple.
The premises must be regularly open to members of the public, so private homes are unlikely to be approved, since they are not normally open to the public. Stately homes, hotels and civic buildings are likely to be thought suitable. Approval will not be given for open air venues, such as moonlit beaches or golf courses. Generally, the premises will need to be permanent built structures, although it may be possible for approval to be given to a permanently moored, publicly open boat. Hot air balloons or aeroplanes will not be approved.
If you want to get married in local authority approved premises you should obtain a list of premises from the local town hall. In England and Wales, you can search for approved premises on the GOV.UK website at www.gov.uk. In Northern Ireland, you can search for approved premises on the nidrect website.
How to marry
You can get married by a civil ceremony or a religious ceremony.
In both cases, the following legal requirements must be met:-
- the marriage must be conducted by a person or in the presence of a person authorised to register marriages in the district
- the marriage must be entered in the marriage register and signed by both parties, two witnesses, the person who conducted the ceremony and, if that person is not authorised to register marriages, the person who is registering the marriage.
Civil marriage ceremonies
Giving notice
You and your partner must give notice of marriage in your local Register Office, whether or not you wish to marry in that district. The Superintendent Registrar, or Registrar in Northern Ireland, then issues authority for the marriage and you may marry in any Register Office or local authority approved premises in any district.
In England and Wales, 28 days notice must be given to the Register Office before the marriage can take place. Both partners must be resident for seven days in England or Wales before notice is given. A notice must state where the marriage is to take place. There is a fee for giving notice.
If one of the partners has been issued with a gender recognition certificate and was previously the civil partner of the person who they wish to marry, there is no requirement for the 28 day notice period. In this case, notice of the marriage and the marriage itself can happen on the same day.
If you or your partner are not citizens of an European Economic Area country, you'll have to submit evidence of your immigration status when you give notice to marry .
In the period between the notice of intention to marry and the ceremony, anyone with strong grounds for objecting to the marriage can do so. Making a false statement is a criminal offence.
Procedure for civil marriage
You and your partner will be asked for certain information when giving notice of your intention to marry. Giving false information is a criminal offence. The information which may be required is:-
- evidence of name and address
- evidence of date of birth
- if one partner has been married before or in a civil partnership, documentary evidence that the marriage or civil partnership has ended, for example, a death certificate or decree absolute. Uncertified photocopies are not accepted. A certified copy of a decree absolute may be obtained from the court which decided the divorce. This can take about a week
- evidence of nationality.
A variety of documents can be used as evidence of the information required, but a passport, travel document or birth certificate is usually sufficient. You should contact the register office where you're getting married for more specific advice on what they will accept.
People from overseas may be asked to show their passports. There is no legal requirement to show a passport before getting married and instead, they can produce a birth certificate (accompanied by a certified translation if necessary), an affidavit or other personal identity document.
If you are travelling to the UK to marry either a British citizen or an EEA national, you will need a visa. This is called entry clearance. This will be either a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner visa if you are not an EEA national or an EEA Family Permit if you are an EEA national.
People who wish to marry in the UK in a Register office in England and Wales must give notice at a Register Office. If you are subject to immigration control, you can only give notice at a Designated Register Office in England and Wales. In Northern Ireland, notice may be given in person or by post. Everyone wishing to marry in a Register Office must provide proof of their nationality.
You are subject to immigration control if you are not:
- a British citizen (or someone with right of abode in the UK) or
- an EEA national or
- don't have any conditions attached to your stay in the UK because you are for example, a diplomat, or a member of visiting armed forces.
For more information on coming to the UK to marry, go to the GOV.UK website at www.gov.uk/marriage-visa.
If the registrar believes that a person is entering or has entered into a marriage for immigration purposes, the registrar has a duty to report this to the Home Office. The registrar must provide the Home Office with certain information, including the marital status and nationality of the person. The Home Office may wish to carry out investigations to ensure that the proposed marriage is not a 'sham'. It may extend the notice period to 70 days in order to carry out these investigations. If you don't comply with the investigations you may not be allowed to marry. You also risk being prosecuted and, if you are the person subject to immigration control, you will gain no advantage from the marriage and could be removed from the UK.
The marriage ceremony in the local Register Office or local authority approved premises will take approximately 10-15 minutes. The Superintendent Registrar or Registrar in Northern Ireland will make a short statement about marriage; you can ask the registrar beforehand to indicate what form of words will be used. It is not possible to use religious words in the civil ceremony. However, the ceremony may include readings, songs or music that contain reference to a god as long as they are in an 'essentially non-religious context'.
Each partner is required to repeat a standard set of promises. These may not be changed, but may be added to, as long as the additions are not religious. Rings are not required but can be exchanged if the couple wishes to.
Signing the marriage register
After the ceremony, the marriage register is signed by both partners and the registrar. Two or more witnesses must also sign at the time of the marriage. Witnesses don't have to be a certain age but you should check with the person marrying you if they have an age limit on who they'll accept.
Witnesses must understand the language of the ceremony and have the mental capacity to understand what's taking place. Register Office staff are not allowed to act as witnesses.
Before signing the register, you should check the information in the entry is correct. It is possible to get incorrect information in the register on marriage certificates changed if there is proof that the errors were notified at the time of the marriage. When trying to correct information at a later stage, you will have to explain in writing how the incorrect information came to be recorded at the time of the marriage and may need to provide documentary evidence to prove any statements. The process may take a long time.
Paying the registrar fee
A fee must be paid for the ceremony. A certified copy of the entry in the register may be obtained at the time of the marriage for a fee. Additional copies may be obtained for a further fee.
For details of the fees, contact your local Register Office or in England and Wales, go to the GOV.UK website at www.gov.uk or in Northern Ireland, go to the nidirect website at www.nidirect.gov.uk.
Religious marriage ceremonies (England and Wales only)
The Church of England and the Church in Wales are allowed to register a marriage at the same time as performing the religious ceremony.
You won't have to give notice of the marriage to the Register Office unless you or your partner are a non-EEA national. If this is the case, you will need to give 28 days notice to the Register Office.
For other religious marriages you'll need to give 28 days notice of the marriage to the Register Office. Ministers and priests of all other religions can be authorised to register marriages and must have a certificate or licence to do so from the local Superintendent Registrar. For Jewish and Quaker marriages, the authorisation is automatic. For all other religions, if the official performing the ceremony is not authorised, either a Registrar must attend the religious ceremony or the partners will need to have separate religious and civil ceremonies.
Marriages in the Church of England and Church in Wales (opposite sex couples only)
Instead of going to the Superintendent Registrar before the ceremony, banns (a notice of the proposed marriage) can be read in the parish church of each of the partners and in the church where it has been agreed the marriage can take place. Banns must be read on three Sundays before the ceremony.
In England, in some cases, the vicar may advise that you need to apply to the Church of England for a licence instead of using the banns procedure. You can find out more about getting married in the Church of England on the Church of England website at www.yourchurchwedding.org.
Religious marriage ceremonies in Northern Ireland
Church of Ireland
You can be married in the Church of Ireland by one of three methods. These are:-
Licence – If you or your partner is a member of the Church of Ireland (or any other Protestant Episcopal Church i.e. Anglican), you may give notice to a Church of Ireland licensing minister that you wish to be married in a Church of Ireland church within your own district. Either you or your partner must have been living in the district for seven days before notice is given. The licenser will notify the clergy of the churches that you and your partner attend. Seven days after the licenser is notified, an oath will be administered to either you or your partner to the effect that one of you has lived for the past fourteen days within the district attached to the Church in which you intend to marry, and grant the licence. Any Church of Ireland clergyman will be able to provide you with the address of a licensing minister.
Special licence – If you or your partner is a member of the Church of Ireland (or any other Protestant Episcopal Church), a Bishop of the Church of Ireland may grant a special licence. This will allow the marriage to take place at any time and any place within his diocese. A special licence is useful where you and your partner have forgotten to give the required notice to a licenser, or wish to marry somewhere other than a church
Banns – If both you and your partner are members of the Church of Ireland, banns may be read out for three consecutive Sundays in the churches of which they are members, instead of applying for a licence. Seven days notice to the minister(s) may be required. The marriage ceremony must take place in the church (or one of the churches) in which the banns have been published.
You may be married by the same three methods in the various Presbyterian churches (excluding Free Presbyterians):-
Licence – If both you or your partner is Presbyterian, a licence may be granted by a licensing minister. You or your partner must give the licencing minister a certificate from the minister of your congregation, stating you have been a member of that congregation for at least one month. Immediately before the licence is granted, you must make an Oath that you have lived within the Presbytery for the preceding 15 days. A congregational minister will able to put clients in touch with a licensing minister.
Special licence – A special licence authorising marriage at any time and any place within Ireland may be granted by the Moderator of the Church, as long as you or your partner is a Presbyterian. This method is useful if you have forgotten to give the necessary notice or have your normal residence outside Northern Ireland.
Banns – If both you and your partner are Presbyterians, banns may be published in each of your congregations on the three Sundays preceding the marriage, instead of obtaining a licence. Six days notice is required by the minister before the banns are due to be read out for the first time. The marriage must take place in a church (or one of the churches) in which the banns have been published.
Roman Catholic Church
Arrangements for a wedding in a Catholic Church are always made through the priest in the parish in which you are living. Three months notice must be given to the priest.
Pre-marriage preparation courses, which you and your partner must attend, are held by Accord, formerly the Catholic Marriage Advisory Council (CMAC). There are centres in Belfast, Ballymena and Downpatrick. Details of the courses will be available to the priest.
If you are both Catholics you should approach the priest of the bride's parish to arrange a date. If you are both from the same parish, the priest in that parish does the preparations for you both, including the pre-nuptial enquiries, which are compulsory.
You must each have certain documents:-
- baptism certificate of recent date, that is, within the last six months before the wedding
- confirmation certificate
- letter of freedom, that is, a certificate that you have not married before and are free to marry
If you are Catholic and marrying someone who is not a Catholic, arrangements are made by the priest in your parish. He will apply to the bishop for permission (if your partner is baptised), or for a dispensation (if your partner is not baptised).
If your partner is not a Catholic they should present a baptism certificate (if baptised), and proof of freedom to marry should be presented. This can be in the form of a letter from, for example, parents or a minister, or an affidavit from a solicitor.
In all cases, the priest acts as a civil registrar and he registers the marriage with the registrar of marriages.
Other denominations
Members of other denominations, including Baptists, Brethren, Congregationalists, Free Presbyterians, Methodists, Salvation Army, must obtain a registrar's certificate or licence as for a civil wedding, as the church official are not authorised by the state to issue certificates or licences.
Where you or your partner is Baptist, Congregationalist, or Methodist, you may also proceed by obtaining a special licence from the governing body of your church. Couples should ask a minister of the relevant denomination for details. A fee is usually payable to the governing body, the amount being decided by that body. Marriages by special licence may be celebrated at any time and at any place in Ireland.
Jewish marriages
After giving notice to the Superintendent Registrar or Registrar in Northern Ireland, a marriage can take place in any synagogue, private house or other place as long as you and your partner are Jewish and the ceremony is held under the auspices of a synagogue which has a Secretary for Marriages appointed by the Registrar General. The marriage must be registered by the Secretary of the husband's synagogue. The marriage can only proceed under a registrar's certificate in Northern Ireland.
Marriages in the Society of Friends
A marriage ceremony in the Society of Friends (Quakers) requires the approval of the Registering Officer of the Society of Friends acting for the meeting concerned. It must take place in the Meeting House or another place regularly used for worship.
Marriages in all other religions
In all other religions, religious marriage ceremonies can take place but the couple must first give notice to the Superintendent Registrar, or Registrar in Northern Ireland, at the local Register Office. The Superintendent Registrar, or Registrar in Northern Ireland, will know whether the building in which the ceremony is to take place has been registered. If the building has not been registered, the couple can still have a religious ceremony, but will also need to have a separate civil ceremony for the marriage to be valid under United Kingdom Law.
If the building is registered, an authorised person must be present at the ceremony to register the marriage. They will give the couple a marriage certificate on receipt of the fee. If there is no authorised person, the attendance of a Registrar is necessary and this should be arranged with the Superintendent or Registrar in Northern Ireland of the district.
Religious ceremonies and civil ceremonies
If a couple has been married in a Register Office in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, the partners can have a religious marriage ceremony afterwards. The partners are likely to be asked for their marriage certificate. A religious ceremony which does not comply with the conditions stated above and which takes place before a civil wedding is not a valid marriage under United Kingdom law and the couple's status will be that of cohabitees.
Marrying outside England, Wales and Northern Ireland
If you want to get married outside England and Wales you will need to follow the procedure of the law in that country. Advice will be needed from a lawyer.
A Citizens Advice Bureau, can give brief information about marrying in other parts of the United Kingdom. To search for details of your nearest CAB, including those that can give advice by e-mail, click on nearest CAB.
Marrying in England or Wales if one partner lives elsewhere
If one partner lives in Scotland or in Northern Ireland, the marriage can take place in England or Wales but certain procedures must be followed. If one partner lives outside the United Kingdom, the marriage cannot take place until that partner has arrived in England or Wales and fulfilled the necessary residence qualifications.
For more information about marrying in England or Wales if one partner lives elsewhere, you should consult an experienced adviser, for example, at a Citizens Advice Bureau. To search for details of your nearest CAB, including those that can give advice by e-mail, click on nearest CAB.
Overseas recognition of United Kingdom marriages
A legally valid marriage performed in England, Wales or Northern Ireland is recognised in many other countries. However, confirmation should be sought from the embassy of the country concerned.
Marriages by proxy
A marriage by proxy is one where one or both partners are not physically present at the ceremony. Marriages taking place under United Kingdom law are not valid if they are by proxy. However, United Kingdom law may in some circumstances consider a proxy marriage to be valid if both of the partners are 'domiciled' in a country which recognises marriages by proxy. The concept of 'domicile' is very complicated. If you need to know about the validity of a marriage by proxy you will need to seek specialist legal advice.
Polygamous marriages
A polygamous marriage is one where a man can marry more than one wife. A polygamous marriage between partners, one or both of whom are domiciled in England, Wales or Northern Ireland is not valid. The concept of 'domicile' is very complex and does not necessarily mean 'living in' a country.
If you need to know about the validity of a polygamous marriage, you should seek specialist legal advice. An experienced adviser, for example, at a Citizens Advice Bureau may be able to help you find specialist legal advice. To search for details of your nearest CAB, including those that can give advice by e-mail, click on nearest CAB.
Marriages which are not valid
Certain marriages are treated as if they never took place. These are called void marriages. They are marriages which do not meet the requirements of United Kingdom law. An example of a void marriage is one where the partners may not marry because they are related.
Some marriages may have met the requirements of United Kingdom law when they took place but may then be annulled. These are called voidable marriages. There are a number of situations where marriages are considered voidable, for example if one partner has been granted a full gender recognition certificate (see under Transsexual people), or if one of the partners did not give valid consent to the marriage because the consent was given under duress. Either partner can seek to annul the marriage but if neither partner does, the marriage will be valid.
If you need to know more about voidable marriages, you will need to seek specialist advice. An experienced adviser, for example, at a Citizens Advice Bureau may be able to help you find specialist legal advice. To search for details of your nearest CAB, including those that can give advice by e-mail, click on nearest CAB.
Making a marriage legally valid
If you have been married in a way that is not recognised as valid in the United Kingdom, the marriage can take place again according to United Kingdom law provided that both you and your partner meet the requirements described earlier.
If you marry in the United Kingdom and are already legally married, the marriage will be bigamous and therefore is void. Although it is a criminal offence to marry someone when you are already married, prosecution is not automatic.
If you who think you may be about to enter into a bigamous marriage you should seek advice from a specialist solicitor. An experienced adviser, for example, at a Citizens Advice Bureau may be able to help you find a specialist solicitor. To search for details of your nearest CAB, including those that can give advice by e-mail, click on nearest CAB.
Remarriage/second marriage
As long as the legal requirements described earlier are met, there is nothing to prevent you from marrying again in a civil ceremony in the UK if you are widowed or divorced or if you were in a civil partnership that has been dissolved.
Religions have different rules about whether someone can remarry in a religious ceremony. If you or your partner has been married before, or has been in a civil partnership that is now dissolved, and you want a religious ceremony, you will need to check with an official of the relevant religion.
Blessing ceremonies
Even if you are not allowed to marry in a religious ceremony, for example, because you belong to a religion that does not permit marriage of people who are divorced, it may be possible to arrange for your relationship to be blessed in a religious ceremony. This is at the discretion of the religious official concerned.
Forced marriages
What is a forced marriage?
A forced marriage is where you are pressurised into the marriage against your will. You may be emotionally blackmailed or physically threatened, usually by your family. It is not the same as an arranged marriage, where both parties agree to the marriage.
In England and Wales, forced marriage is a criminal offence. If someone forces you into marriage, they could go to prison for up to seven years.
The Forced Marriage Unit
If you're afraid that you or someone else may be forced into marriage in the UK or overseas, you should contact the Forced Marriage Unit for advice. In an emergency, you should call the police on 999.

Forced Marriage Protection Orders
If you are being forced into marriage or are already in a forced marriage, you can apply to the county court for a Forced Marriage Protection Order to protect you.
A Forced Marriage Protection Order forbids families from:
- taking you abroad for marriage
- taking your passport away
- intimidating or using violence against you.
It can also require family members to reveal where you are. The police can also apply for a Forced Marriage Protection Order. If someone breaks the order, it is a criminal offence and they could be sent to prison for up to five years in England and Wales, or up to six months in Northern Ireland.
You should get legal advice as soon as you can. You may get legal aid.

A substantial majority of the Citizens Advisory Board took a stance against the interim storage of spent fuel at the Savannah River Site during Tuesday's meeting.
The decision came with 17 board members opposing interim storage and six members voting to withhold from taking a position.
"I'm very happy with the process, and I feel like we took a lot of time to receive public input and raise the visibility of the CAB," said waste committee member Ed Burke. "I will admit that there were a lot of good arguments on the other side; but I feel like this a victory for the CAB and a victory for the public."
The Citizens Advisory Board will cement its stance by filing an official position paper. However, it will not file a recommendation with the Department of Energy.
According to Burke, the belief is that filing with the Department of Energy would result in a statement that would prove unfavorable.
"Our concern is that submitting a recommendation with the Department of Energy would've resulted in a statement that it was 'outside the purview' of the CAB," Burke explained. "This is because it doesn't relate to clean up of the Site. So the position paper makes more sense in terms of canvassing the position of the CAB."
In addition to the interim storage vote, the Citizens Advisory Board took a stance against the FY 2014 proposed federal budget, which could potentially cut $100 million from the Site. The board is in favor of requesting all of its funding with no cuts to the budget, which could result in the loss of more than 600 jobs.
"We approved the budget position statement which simply said that we support DOE in trying to get more money for the FY14 budget," said Don Bridges, the Citizens Advisory Board chair. "The statement basically suggests that we need to restore full funding."
Finally, the board approved three recommendations that will be filed with the Department of Energy: one that would transition the spent fuel in the Site's L Reactor from wet storage to dry storage; another for the Department of Energy to outline the disposal of spent fuel as well as the progress of the program; and a final one to revisit Yucca Mountain as a storage facility for commercial fuel.
"It's all wrapped around using Yucca Mountain as a storage facility," Bridges added.
The next official Citizens Advisory Board meeting is scheduled for Sept. 23 and 24 in Savannah, Ga.

Game #35: Rays at Jays — Halladay to DL
Take a deep breath Jays fans. Toronto ace Roy Halladay is the latest addition to the disabled list.

DOC ON THE DL????? I know it seemed evident in his last couple outings, but this is probably the worst news of all. 4 to 6 weeks is a long time without DOC, especially with Ryan out for the season. Maybe time to start dangling trade bait to get some top end pitching (if possible)….can Jon McDonald pitch?? I'd rather see him take a shot, then take chances on what we have left (he's pretty much the only one outperforming his predicted level)….do we have anyone else left?? No offense to what we have, but without DOC, there isnt much left to rely on.
The Season: 07 Jays lasted April 2007 to May 2007
I'm quite impressed with Burnett's outing. Finally looking like the pitcher he is. Hopefully he can hold it down while Doc is out and keep it going when he gets back. Good job Burnett. Way to go for the rest of the Jays to end the losing streak.
Nice job Burnett. I'm a true fan of the Jays but having to listen to Rance M. during the telecast makes me want to watch hockey
Hi guys im from Dominican Republic and i was in the new complex our team and i saw in a showcase Juan Dominguez , do you remember? he was with texas and now is free agent but he looks very intersting and healthy his fast ball was 93-94 mhp good change ball , slider, could be he sing for us?

Congratulations to Northside School District's 186 campus first year and veteran educators of the year for the 2010-11 school year.
Local attorney and philanthropist David Earl and his wife Melanie Earl have donated $750,000 in tree credits to Northside ISD.
Even though 3,000 more students enrolled in Northside ISD this school year, the District accommodated the growth because five new schools opened and many bond projects were completed.
Four young artists from Northside ISD are in the running for the Grand Prize in the Texas Cavaliers River Parade Art Contest. Among other awards, the winner will get to ride in the Texas Cavaliers River Parade on April 11.
Two Northside ISD teachers have been named recipients of the San Antonio Mayoral/County Judge Outstanding Science and Mathematics Teaching Award.

NISD officials are monitoring the weather, but no decisions will be made regarding the potential closing of schools or start delays until early Friday morning.
Northside ISD, like the rest of the city and the state, is experiencing short-term electrical outages.
Visitors to a Northside ISD cafeteria on any given weekday are sure to notice some stereotype-defying offerings: bowls of fresh fruit, vegetables, salads, lean meats, and whole grain rolls.
The NISD Board of Trustees recognized hundreds of students and their teachers and coaches for academic, instructional, and athletic achievements.

BALTIMORE – The UMBC women's lacrosse team looks to build off its dramatic 11-10 double-overtime victory on Saturday, March 1 when it travels to La Salle for its first-ever meeting with the Explorers. Game time is set for 1 p.m. at McCarthy Stadium.
The Retrievers (1-2) picked up their first victory of the season in dramatic fashion last Saturday, taking American into double-overtime before a goal from freshman attack Mackenzie Reese (Bel Air, Md./John Carroll) propelled UMBC to the 11-10 victory. The Retrievers spread out their scoring in the contest, with seven different players registering a goal, led by junior Alyssa Semones' (Westminster, Md./Westminster/Penn State) hat trick.
Junior Abby Wilson (Bel Air, Md./Fallston) leads the squad with four goals and two assists on the season, while senior Kristen Bilney (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Hebron) has also chipped in four goals. Semones has done a little bit of everything for the Retrievers thus far, registering three goals on six shots and adding seven draw controls and five ground balls.
La Salle (3-0) is coming off a busy opening week of action, which was topped off with a 14-8 victory at Central Connecticut State last Saturday. Junior Claire Andrews and freshman Gabby Antonelli earned Atlantic 10 Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week, respectively. Andrews has a team-best 11 points on the year, on seven goals and four assists, while Antonelli is holding opponents to 5.67 scores per game and has made 24 saves through three games.

Apex Park
The trails in this open-space preserve just south of Golden, which abuts Denver metro, are well known to mountain bikers but severely underhiked. The 5.5-mile exterior loop makes for an awesome hike that you can bust out in about 90 minutes if you hustle. You'll likely encounter many bikers at the beginning and the end of the trail, especially if you go in the evening, but the path leaves plenty of room for you to pass them as they grind up the inclines and for them to whiz by you on the downhills. Start on the Apex Trail (ignore the cheesy Western-themed family fun park off to your left; it'll disappear from sight about a quarter-mile in), which offers a mellow incline through a narrow valley, and then take a sharp right up Sluice Box Trail and zigzag up the hillside – this is the toughest part of the trek. At the top, follow the Grubstake Loop, which tours through deep forest and then pops back out on the front side of the hill for view of the city. Continue straight onto Pick N' Sledge for an easy descent back to the Apex Trail. This final stretch is easy to run if you want an extra challenge.

Dollars: Reagan's wrong on gun control
Re: "Gun control won't prevent tragedy," by Michael Reagan, column, Dec. 22
A good op-ed page should present a spectrum of political thought. I neither expect nor want to agree with every opinion expressed there.
I do, however, prefer that published opinions at least be reasonably coherent. By my lights, Micheal Reagan's piece on December 21 fell well short of that modest standard. I certainly endorse his call for mental health care reforms. But he also champions the notion, advanced by the N.R.A., that there should be an armed guard at every school. I am not persuaded, but maybe the point is debatable. Indeed, later in the same column, Mr. Reagan rebuts his own argument, conceding that a cadre of trained Secret Service personnel were unable to stop a gunman from shooting his father. But that's not the crazy part of Mr. Reagan's opinion. This is: He rejects the idea of banning semi-automatic weapons or large magazines because he thinks such measures wouldn't altogether prevent mass shootings, they could at best, " … keep the death toll in the single digits." Astounding. Instead of passing laws now that can save the lives of many children, he wants us to wait until we can magically protect all children by the Barney Fife-ization of our schools. In the meantime, what does Mr. Reagan offer to the grieving parents of the unfortunate double-digit victims of the next school shooting? Apologies? The gun violence problem in this country is complicated and progress will be difficult, but keeping the number of funerals in Newtown in the single digits would have been a decent place to start.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

Care & Arabic in Morocco
High School Specials for 15-18 Year Olds
- Placement location: Rabat
- Types of placement: Care Centres
- Accommodation: Host Families
- Age Requirements: 15-18 years old
Although geographically Morocco lies closer to Europe; culturally, politically and economically it has far more in common with the Middle East. Arabic is the official language of the country, giving you an ideal opportunity to make real progress as you are immersed both inside and outside the classroom. As the second most widely spoken language, French is also very easy to learn here.
Our Language courses will provide you with 20 hours of classroom time with a skilled language professional. Alongside these classes, you and your fellow volunteers will work on vital community projects in one of our partner day care centres in Rabat. Daily tasks include playing games with the children and helping them with basic education.
You will also have the chance to spend a day learning some traditional Moroccan artisan skills and spend a day making a typical Moroccan meal, from shopping in the market, to preparing the food in a riad house. You'll then get to sample your culinary efforts while being serenaded by a Moroccan quartet!
Throughout your placement and visit to Morocco, you will have ample opportunity to practise the Arabic or French you are learning. You will live with an Arabic or French speaking host family who will encourage you to practise at home as much as possible.
During the weekend a city trip will be arranged and you will visit the historic sites of Rabat.
Every year, thousands of High School Special volunteers actively make a difference around the world. During their time abroad, they contribute towards achieving long-term goals and make a long-lasting positive impact on the communities where they work. If you want to know more about their achievements, read our 2017 High School Specials Impact Report.

What do we become as women at thirty-one?
Are we put out to pasture?
Or are we doing the kicking to the curb?
Are we like the woman of the 1960's?
Childless, no husband, so no value?
Are we no longer desired?
Are we spinsters, old-maids, bachelorettes for life?
Or are do we fit my Uncles words:
"The most beautiful women are in their thirties."
Is it just the beginning, or is it the end?
A last stretch of youth?
Or maybe, a reach for adulthood?
Where some intelligence kicks in,
And you're tired of the lies,
Meaningful nights; mornings depressed.
So, you'll wait for the right kind of guy,
With the right kind of flaws;
Or maybe you live your own charmed life?
Happy to be single, confident, relaxed.
Is it coming out of bubble gum and pink clouds?
Finally not a girl;
But a woman who can impact change?
Is it refinement and elegance?
A striving for grace and eloquence?
Is it realizing there is no Prince Charming?
No white horse or Disney fairytale?
Building your own life,
Do you forge it the best you can?
Is it becoming aware even greater,
Your teachers in childhood are growing older;
Your most lives won't be around forever,
So, you gather their wisdom while you can;
Spend time with them now.
Time steals loved ones; be they young or old.
Is thirty-one when you realize,
You are not impervious to dying at anytime in life?
Severe fatigue, cancer, lupus, Thyroid troubles,
Depression, anxiety, car accidents, the flu, MS;
Disease in some form, affects us all,
Bodies which don't bounce back as easily;
Requiring movement to maintain fitness,
And junk food, oh you'll pay for it later!
Sharing a bottle of vodka, tequila, or wine;
Drinking almost all of it,
Can this be done anymore, and survived?
Two glasses of wine or two beers,
Every once in a while seems alright,
Or face the two-day hangover regrettfully.
The biggest thing about being thirty-one,
I'll never get back years in my twenties,
Lost in fatigue and mental illness, affects of meds;
They're fond memories of genuine friends;
Futures, I see possibilities of having.
But someone wise once wrote, at the ages if 15 to 32:
Don't worry about marriage, kids, or being grown-up;
Just enjoy and learn, explore the world.
The wanderlust calls to me endlessly,
A mysterious adventure waiting;
Such planning, such difficulties, such hardship;
For a fantastic trip; I could barely walk all day,
Or afford it; but wouldn't it be worth it?
To have thousands of foot prints,
To cover my pages, and see it's okay – life goes how it does.
Thirty-one it's only begun; an age of aspirations,
Hopefully, inspirations to write more of;
As numerous as my days in all my years allotted.
Passion and a life to live, anyway I know how.
Grace of God abounding; encircling profoundly,
His child, he won't let stumble long.
He guards with angels, and —
His forever promise of light in the dark;
As wise JK Rowling wrote through Dumbledore:
"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times;
If only one will Remember, to turn on the light."

Melbourne, FL - January 27, 2013 - The Preeclampsia Foundation today issued a statement responding to an unexpected plot twist in Downton Abbey, a popular television show, that aired earlier tonight, to clarify historical facts and to inform viewers that the maternal death portrayed in the historical drama is still a tragic and needless complication of pregnancy.
The British television drama has a robust and loyal American following on PBS. Last night, 8 million viewers were shocked when one of the show's beloved characters, Lady Sybil Crawley, died from eclampsia after giving birth. Although this fictional TV series represents life in the early 1900's, women in the United States and elsewhere still die or suffer terrible outcomes from the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (e.g., preeclampsia, eclampsia, HELLP syndrome), leaving many viewers grieving also because of their own all-too-similar tragedies.
Every year in the U.S., 5 to 8 percent (up to 300,000) pregnant or postpartum women develop a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy with approximately 75,000 of them suffering severe adverse outcomes such as organ failure, massive blood loss, permanent disability, or death; and premature birth or the death of their babies. Preeclampsia is characterized by a large rise in blood pressure and failing kidneys. Eclampsia is the name for seizures during pregnancy.
"There were many scenes that resonated for preeclampsia survivors," said Eleni Tsigas, Executive Director of the Preeclampsia Foundation. "The symptoms she experienced, the interactions with the physicians, the false confidence after the healthy delivery, the heartbreaking scene where the widower is left holding his newborn daughter, and the resulting guilt and blame all ring very true to preeclampsia survivors. However," she adds, "the apparent inability of the physicians to intervene during her seizure was not an accurate portrayal."
Magnesium sulfate was introduced in 1906 to treat eclamptic seizures, and although it was not universally used until the 1990's, other anticonvulsants and manual interventions would have been used in the early 1900's. This and other historical facts are available today on the Preeclampsia Foundation's website.
Today, pregnant women are routinely monitored during prenatal care visits for signs of preeclampsia, but that wasn't always the case. In Downton Abbey, a London physician dismisses the concerns of Lady Sybil and her family. "Sadly, some medical providers still dismiss women's concerns," says Tsigas. "Women need to be aware of the symptoms, to keep their prenatal appointments, and report between visits if they don't feel well. Sometimes they have to be persistent in getting medical attention. At our website, women will find many resources to become informed and find support. It's our mission to save lives."
The Preeclampsia Foundation is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization established in 2000. It is dedicated to providing patient support and education, raising public awareness, catalyzing research and improving health care practices, envisioning a world where preeclampsia and related hypertensive disorders of pregnancy no longer threaten the lives of mothers and babies.

BALTIMORE – The UMBC swimming and diving program has selected six captains to lead the Retrievers during the 2013-14 season, head coach Chad Cradock announced on Thursday morning.
Seniors Evan Carey (Grand Island, N.Y./Grand Island), Brian Keane (Hanson, Mass./Boston College HS/Arizona), and Reed Neuendorf (Blauvelt, N.Y./Tappan Zee) will guide the men's squad, while seniors Patty Hallberg (Severna Park, Md./Broadneck) and Erika Ronning (Western Springs, Ill./Lyons Township), as well as junior Lexi Coon (Camden, Del./Milford) were chosen to lead the women.
"We're very excited for our new leadership," said Cradock, who is entering his 13th season at the helm of his alma mater. "Each individual is very different and brings something unique to the position and to the program."
Each of the three men contributed during their junior years as the Retrievers recorded just their second-ever undefeated dual meet season. Then, at the America East Championships, Carey and Neuendorf each earned an individual silver medal as UMBC recaptured the conference title, scoring a meet record 1,075 points.
Each of the three female captains recorded a breakout season in 2012-13, helping the Retrievers finish 5-3 in dual meets and place second at the conference meet at Maine. Ronning won six dual meet events before taking home an individual gold and silver at the America East meet. Coon, meanwhile, won her first career dual meet event during the season and then earned three top-ten finishes in Maine. A leader in the pool and in the classroom, Hallberg was selected to the America East All-Academic Team after registering season-best times in all three events at the conference championships.
"We feel confident that these six captains will serve our program well," Cradock added. "They will help us achieve our goal of being a model program."
UMBC opens its 2013-14 campaign with an exhibition meet at Bucknell on Oct. 5 before traveling to Rider on Oct. 12.
