Meet the Plaintiffs standing up for marriage at the 6th Circuit today
August 06, 2014
On August 6, the United States Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit heard oral arguments in 6 different cases seeking the freedom to marry or respect for marriages legally performed in other states. The cases spanned four different states - Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, and Tennessee - and involved more than a dozen different plaintiff couples who stood up for their freedom to marry in their state or spoke out about why they need the legal respect for their marriage where they live.
Freedom to Marry caught up with many of these plaintiff couples prior to last month's big day at the 6th Circuit. You can read about the oral argument and listen to full audio from the big day here. And check out profiles of some of the couples making the case in the courts below:
Michael DeLeon & Greg Bourke
Bourke v. Beshear in Kentucky
The way that Greg Bourke and Michael DeLeon see it, their 32 years together have been divided into three lives - their years of traveling together as a newly together couple, the time they spent building their family and raising their two children, and the not-so-distant future where their children will be grown and the two of them will be on their own again.
Before they get to that third stage, however, Greg and Michael are committed to making the world a little bit easier for couples like them in their home state of Kentucky and the United States as a whole. Last summer, following the United States Supreme Court's landmark ruling that struck down the core of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, Greg and Michael filed a lawsuit seeking respect for their marriage. They filed their case with the Fauver Law Office, led by primary attorneys Shannon Fauver and Dawn Elliot, with further involvement from Clay Daniel Walton & Adams attorneys Dan Canon, Laura Landenwich and L. Joe Dunman.
On February 12 of this year, they celebrated as Judge John G. Heyburn II ruled in their favor in their case, declaring that the Bluegrass State must respect the marriages of same-sex couples legally performed in other states. Their lawsuit was borne out of the couple's attendance at a rally for marriage in Frankfort, Kentucky in March 2013, where they stood with same-sex couples from across the state in making the case that the entire country is ready for the freedom to marry.
Despite marrying in Canada in 2004 alongside their two children - Bella and Isaiah - Michael and Greg are still held back by anti-marriage laws in Kentucky. That's why their taking action with their case.
"No matter what, we're working together to support our family, to protect our children, and to set a positive example," Michael said. "That's what we're doing with this case: We want to make it clear that our family is not different from other families. We want to show that our marriage is not different from other marriages."

Joe Vitale & Rob Talmas
Henry v. Wymyslo in Ohio
This spring, Joseph Vitale and Robert Talmas sat in a crowded court room in Cincinnati, Ohio, anxious for some clarity in the legal case they had filed with several other same-sex couples and the legal teams at Gerhardstein & Branch Co., JPA and Newman & Meeks Co., LPA.
The case seemed to make a simple request: All of the couples recently had or were imminently expecting to welcome children into the world, and they wanted to ensure that both parents' names would be listed on the birth certificates.
Many of the other couples hailed from Ohio, but Joe and Rob were in a somewhat different situation: They live in New York City, but they adopted their son Cooper from a birth mother who lived in Ohio. When they welcomed their son Cooper into the world in a state that did not respect their marriage license, they were only permitted to list one parent on the birth certificate.
It was a clear example of the way that the confusing patchwork of marriage laws in the country hurts real families - in New York, Rob and Joe are treated the same as any other family, but in Ohio and 30 other states, they are viewed as little more than friends.
But Joe and Rob aren't just friends - they're husbands, legally married on September 20, 2011, and they have been together for more than 16 years. They made the decision to raise a child together, and they knew that it was wrong for Ohio to tell them they could not both be their child's rightful parents.
The men had assumed that the fight for marriage and legal recognition was over for them last year, when the US Supreme Court struck down the so-called Defense of Marriage Act. But it became clear to them that so long as some states don't respect the freedom to marry, same-sex couples will continue to be subjected to different laws in different states.

Tim Love & Larry Ysunza
Love v. Beshear in Kentucky
Tim Love and Larry Ysunza - who prevailed as intervening plaintiiffs in a federal lawsuit seeking the freedom to marry in the state of Kentucky - know first-hand how important it is to be married and respected as such in their home state: Last summer, Tim's doctor discovered two major blockages in his heart, and she told him to go directly to the hospital. At the hospital, doctors told Tim that they would not even administer the perfunctory stress test, saying it was too risky.
"That's when it hit us," Tim said. "Here were are: We had always thought about the day that we'd start having health concerns, but we never took care of it - you don't think that one day you're going to be 55 years old and have heart issues."
Tim and Larry didn't have any paperwork in order authorizing Larry to make medical decisions for Tim, so they had to rush to make sure everything was in order - medical power of attorney and related paperwork.
Just minutes before heading into surgery, Tim and Larry finalized the necessary documents so that Larry could make decisions for his partner of three decades.
"You just don't think about things like that - and why should you have to?" Tim said. "We had a civil union from 2007 in Vermont, but that wasn't respected in Kentucky. You shouldn't have to draw up all of this extra paperwork - especially at such a stressful time. Other married couples don't even have to think twice about that issue - they know that their husband or wife can make those decisions for them."
The scare at the hospital - and the continued surgeries that Tim will face over the next several years - was the catalyst for Tim and Larry getting involved in the fight for marriage in Kentucky - but now that they're invested, they're ready to keep speaking out for equality. They know that it's time for for all love to be treated with the same respect and dignity.
They are a couple in every sense - and Kentucky is their home: It's where they met 34 years ago. It's where they fell in love and built a life together. It's where they worked together to take care of Tim's mother for the last 13 years of her life. And it's where they want to marry.
"We're really lucky to be one of the couples representing all of the same-sex couples in the state of Kentucky," Tim said. "We're just thrilled to be a part of it."

Jayne Rowse & April DeBoer
DeBoer v. Snyder in Michigan
Earlier this year, Jayne Rowse & April DeBoer watched as a 2-week long trial proceeded in Michigan surrounding their legal case seeking protection and respect as a family in Michigan: The women, who have been together for, are raising three wonderful children together, all of whom came into the couple's life through foster care. When they initially filed their case, Jayne and April were seeking the ability to jointly adopt their kids: Under Michigan law, they were told that they were not allowed to both be the legal parents simply because they are both women.
Later, the challenge expanded to seek the freedom to marry in Michigan, and in March, after the trial, Jayne and April prevailed: Judge Bernard Friedman struck down anti-marriage laws in Michigan and the ruling took effect immediately, allowing hundreds of couples in Michigan one day to tie the knot before a stay was issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit.
Jayne and April talked more about their adoption process and why it's so important to them to raise their family in Michigan in this great interview with Electablog. They told the blog, "We were talking to Dana Nessel [their eventual attorney in the case], and she said, 'Look, this is the way it is and, until someone comes along and changes this, these are your options. You can write down your wishes and pray or you can move to another state or somebody can fight this.' Jayne and I did a lot of talking and mulling it over until one day Dana called us and asked us what we wanted to do. And I told her that, you know, we're just two nurses struggling to get by. We want to fight it but we don't have the means to fight this. I mean, you're talking court case upon court case. So, we started talking and she started talking then she said, 'We'll do it. We'll fight this.'
Jim Obergefell & John Arthur
Obergefell v. Wymyslo in Ohio
This week, Jim Obergefell spoke at a rally for Why Marriage Matters Ohio about his journey over the past year fighting for the basic respect of his marriage in Ohio after two decades with the love of his life, John Arthur. He recalled last summer, when he and John, who was nearing the end of his battle with ALS, chartered a plane to fly from their home of Cincinnati to the state of Maryland so they could legally marry on the tarmac of the airport. They were working to protect their marriage: Jim knew that if John passed away, Jim would not be respected at all as John's partner of 20 years.
John and James' dramatic journey to Maryland on July 11 required a medical transport plane to carry John in his hospice bed, at a cost of more than $12,000. In a brief, touching ceremony, they were married on the airport tarmac in Baltimore by John's aunt before returning to Ohio.
Even when they did marry, Jim and John knew that Ohio did not respect their marriage license - and, horrifically, they realized that were John to pass away, Jim would not be listed as John's surviving spouse on the death certificate. The men were angry and felt disrespected by the state that they love - and so they took the issue to court. Last July, they received a Temporary Restraining Order requiring Jim to be listed as John's surviving spouse - and in December, Judge Black issued his final order, declaring that for the purpose of issuing death certificates, Ohio must respect the legal marriages of same-sex couples.
John was not able to see the final ruling in the case: He passed away in October 2013.
"I am a husband and I am a widower," Jim said at the rally this week in Ohio. "I am not willing to give up my right to be either. I'm not going to give up my right to marry. John matters. I matter. Our marriage matters."

Matthew Mansell & Johno Espejo
Tanco v. Haslam in Tennessee
Matthew and Johno, who are raising two children in Franklin, Tennessee, were one of three couples granted respect for their marriage licenses (the men married in California) this spring when a federal judge ruled in their favor in their case brought by the National Center for Lesbian Rights. Now, they're ready and excited to finish the job at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit. Matthew works at a law firm as a conflicts analyst, and Johno is a stay-at-home dad who works part-time at the YMCA. They moved to Tennessee in 2012 and are excited to build their lives there with their son and daughter.
Mansell told The Tennessean this year, "I know some people have difficulty with us using the word 'marriage,' but that's what it is. We do exactly the same things as everyone else does. We teach our kids to ride bikes, we mow the lawn, we do laundry, we argue about money. It's no different from what my parents did or what my sister has done for 32 years."
Brittani Henry & Brittni Rogers
Henry v. Wymyslo in Ohio
This spring, Brittany and Brittni teamed up with the legal team at Gerhardstein & Branch Co., LPA and Newman & Meeks Co., LPA - plus several other couples expecting the births of children in Ohio in May and June - to file a legal case seeking respect for their out-of-state marriage in order to be listed together on ther child's birth certificate. The women met in 2008 and got married in New York in January 2014, and they knew that when their child was born (with a due date in June 2014), only one of their names could be listed on the birth certificate because of anti-marriage laws in Ohio.
When Judge Timothy Black ruled in their favor in April 2014, he not only said they should be able to both be listed on their child's birth certificate: He also said that all marriages between same-sex couples in Ohio performed in other states must be respected in the Buckeye State.
Brittani and Brittni spoke out about their case at a rally held this week for Why Marriage Matters Ohio. They said, "We filed this lawsuit for our son - so that we could both be listed as his parents."
Tammy Boyd & Kim Franklin
Bourke v. Beshear in Kentucky
"In the early 80s, I was working in Simponville, KY and would sometimes visit the local store, where Tammy worked," Kim Franklin said, reflecting on her girlhood crush on Tammy Boyd. "She was the most beautiful person that I had ever seen – but we were both girls, so I just admired her from afar, and in my mind. It was the 80s, and we lived in a rural community."
But over the course of the years, again and again Kim would cross paths with Tammy and years later – in 2007 – they connected and really took the time to catch up after more than two decades of casual friendship.
When they finally connected, Tammy gave Kim a letter and, Kim said, "It gave me a glimpse of hope that maybe we both felt the same way. It turned out that after a long talk, we discovered that we both had felt the same way since the early 80s. My head was spinning and my heart was exploding – but we were on our way to a life together."
"As time went on, we continued talking and talking," Tammy added. "I simply fell head over heels in love with this woman. I could barely look at her – could not make eye contact with this woman that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with."
On July 15, 2010, they traveled from Kentucky to Connecticut to get married, which they did in a beautiful beachfront ceremony.
"When she started walking toward me, I felt like I was going to pass out," Kim said. "I started crying, because all of my dreams were coming true: The most beautiful person in the world was walking toward me."
"Our eyes locked and we were making history – our history," Tammy said. "We stood hand in hand and exchanged vows that we had written but kept secret from each other. I was marrying the love I had been waiting for all my life."
Now, they are working to ensure that their marriage is respected in their home state. "We are taking this journey of marriage for all Kentuckians, and I could not be more proud," Tammy said. "May God see all things wonderful in this lifetime – and may all things happen the way it was meant to be: In love."

Valerie Tanco & Sophy Jesty
Tanco v. Haslam in Tennessee
This year, Valerie and Sophy greeted their newborn daughter, Emilia Maria Jesty, in Knoxville, Tennessee - and, because of a District Court ruling in a case brought by the National Center for Lesbian Rights declaring that the state of Tennessee must respect their marriage, Valerie was listed on the baby's birth certificate. It was a first for a same-sex couple in Tennessee.
The National Center for Lesbian Rights explained more: "Dr. Valeria Tanco and Dr. Sophy Jesty met while at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and have been together for four years. As Sophy neared the end of her post-graduate fellowship, Val and Sophy began looking for teaching positions in veterinary medicine that were geographically close to another. The University of Tennessee, Knoxville offered them both positions in their respective specialties. Although the couple had married while living in New York, the State of Tennessee treats them as if they are two unmarried women."
Pam & Nicole Yorksmith
Henry v. Wymyslo in Ohio
In April, Pam and Nicole celebrated as they received a ruling in their case - filed by Gerhardstein & Branch Co., LPA and Newman & Meeks Co., LPA and several other couples expecting the births of children in Ohio in May and June - declaring that Ohio must respect the marriages of same-sex couples performed in other states.
It was a big win for Pam and Nicole, who now have two sons - Grayden and newborn Orion. The women met in 2006 and fell in love, then married in October 2008 in California. In the ruling, Judge Black explained their situation: "Failing to have both parents listed on their son's birth certificate has caused the Yorksmith Family great concern. They have created documents attempting to ensure that Pam will be recognized with authority to approve medical care, deal with childcare workers and teachers, travel alone with their son, and otherwise address all the issues parents must resolve. Nicole and Pam allege that Defendants' denial of recognition of Pam's role as parent to their child is degrading and humiliating for the family."
On August 5, Pam and Nicole brought their children on stage at a rally for Why Marriage Matters Ohio, where they spoke out about why it's time for marriage nationwide. They said: "We are here for our families - for ALL Ohio families! We are a family."
Paul Campion & Randy Johnson
Bourke v. Beshear in Kentucky
Paul Campion and Randy Johnson have had a lot of practice when it comes to setting a positive example and standing up for what they believe in: As adoptive fathers of four beautiful children, Randy and Paul have tried to encourage their kids to speak up for themselves and work toward a better world.
That's why last summer, Paul and Randy joined this federal lawsuit seeking respect for marriages between same-sex couples legally performed in other states right in their home state of Kentucky. The men have lived in Kentucky for most of their lives together: They met in 1991 on a weekend when Paul, who lived in Western New York, was visiting his brother in Louisville. Paul and Randy met that weekend.
"After a very short time together, we knew it was love at first sight, which made Paul's planned return home very difficult," Randy said. But over the next few months, they talked on the phone every day, took weekend trips to see each other, and they quickly fell deeper and deeper in love.
Over the course of the next decade, the couple - who had promised their commitment to each other in 1992 with matching rings - worked to build their family. After many twists and turns in the complicated adoption process - which, especially in Kentucky, did not favor same-sex couples or gays and lesbians overall - they were finally proud parents to twin boys, and soon after, they welcomed a little girl into their lives, too. Four years later, they decided to be foster parents to a 7-year-old who Paul met through his work as a school counselor. Shortly after they became foster parents, they certified a final adoption of the child. Their happy family of six was complete.
"Our family is more of a blessing than we ever could have dreamed of," Randy said. "And yet, we continued to struggle with legal recognition as a family."
Even when they got legally married in July 2008 in California, Randy and Paul knew that their home state of Kentucky would deny them any and all respect for their marriage license. And as the years passed, they were continually faced with roadblocks denying them the protections and responsibilities that all other married couples received.
It's time for Kentucky to respect all families - and that's what Randy and Paul hope happens this fall, when the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals is expected to rule on their case, as well as 5 other marriage cases from four different states. They hope that their efforts to protect their family are fruitful in Kentucky - they hope that they are able to show all four of their kids the power of standing up for what's right.

Ijpe DeKoe & Thom Kostura
Tanco v. Haslam in Tennessee
Ijpe and Thom's love story has roots in their childhood: The men have known each other since their teenage years, but they didn't start a romantic relationship until nearly four years ago.
Ijpe serves as a Sergeant in the Army Reserves, and in 2011, just before Ijpe began his tour of duty in Afghanistan with the Army, he and Thom said "I do." Thom returned home to the United States in 2012 and moved to Memphis to be with Thom, the love of his life.
"I was excited and called Thom and let him know and it was just very exciting news and there was no advance notice that this was coming down the pike," Ijpe told local reporters in Tennessee after a ruling came down in their case with the National Center for Lesbian Rights granting them respect for their marriage license.
"It was very shocking at first and there hasn't been much time to process it because there have been so many people calling us and emails and text messages and Facebook has been exploding," Thom added. "It's been rather a lot to process. It feels pretty wonderful that all of those 'what-if' scenarios for us would be pretty much settled if we were recognized - everyone should be provided that comfort."
Jim Meade & Luke Barlow
Bourke v. Beshear in Kentucky
For 46 years, Jim Meade and Luke Barlow have stood by each other, supporting each other during every step of their lives together.
They met in the fall of 1968, when Jim was studying at Morehead State University. As the youngest of fourteen children raised in Eastern Kentucky, Jim was quickly taken with Luke - Luke jokes that since Jim's parents never had a car or a television, he was easily impressed. That fall, Luke drove miles and miles from Lexington to Morehead, spending time with Jim, getting to know each other and falling in love.
By that November, they were indisputably a match: Luke gave Jim a ring, and the two have been together ever since. Over the next few years, they moved around a bit, spending time in Indiana, Iowa, and Tennessee and later purchasing two businesses together.
In October 2002, Jim was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and Luke was ready to endure the fight with him: "We asked the barber to clip us close to get ready for his chemo," Luke said, laughing, "It all came back eventually."
When Iowa approved the freedom to marry for same-sex couples, they took a trip to Davenport, where the former mayor of the city witnessed their wedding on July 30, 2009.
Now, Jim and Luke are only asking for Kentucky - and the rest of the country - to treat their marriage as equal to any other marriage. After nearly 46 years together, they know that it's time they were respected in their home state.
"After 45 years, there is so much to tell and not enough time," Jim reflected. "Love is timeless."

Our Inner Sense
I have worked in Sales for over 20 years.
5 years as an employee and the last 15 years I have owned and operated a successful retail brokerage firm.
My career in Sales has allowed me to meet many types of people and brings up the Question of :
"Why are We in the Shape We are In?"
I have worked with Hermann (The owner and Director of the Australasian Institute) over the last 7 years.
I have my Teaching certificate in "Psychosomatic Therapy";
and am embarking on a new journey as a teacher of this work.
The work is profound in it's benefits to ALL who attend the classes.
It provides its students with Owners Manuals for who they are and allows them to understand themselves better - therefore allowing an acceptance within and with those they meet.
If we don't begin to understand why we do things and experience life in the way we do then we cannot change it......
Men and Women 35+ that have achieved a certain level of success in their relationships and careers.
I feel up to this point in time the journey of "spiritual" "soul" "purpose in life" has been overdone and edges on the unknown with the focus taken outside of ourselves.
My New Audience are the people that understand there is something more; but remain grounded in their daily lives.
If they chose to see a psychic it would be for fun or a new perspective - and not for direction.
They understand that they have a responsibility for the life they are living and are looking for guidance in connecting with that part of themselves that has been ignored for a time.
OUR INNER SENSE - Why I chose this name.
We all have intuition and are born of innocence as we go through life we sometimes lose our way; but at some level we know or (sense) there is something more.
I have chosen the word "Our" as a prefix as it sums up Community and that we are all of the same Group Consciousness.
The most important is that the Logo has Clarity.
I see the Logo as the OUR encompassing an "ALL" or "Oneness"
and doesn't necessarily need to be in print - could also be a concept of "OUR"
embodying the Inner Sense. (only an idea) I am open to your concepts.
It should feel accessable to everyone regardless of Age or Education.
I do not want anything Airy Fairy - Or to Young.
http://www.aibmapt.com - this is the main site- The Logo is nice - but to Complicated - the site appears to be in outer space or the Galaxy -
http://www.corepotentials.com - The Logo reminds me of the old school of thinking Rah Rah Rah ---Passion etc to the core ????
This is why I requested forward thinking something that is appealing - and gets peoples attention.
Attraction NOT Promotion....
No stock photo's or clip-art please.
The 2 pictures included are of 2 of my students; I have included them so you are able to see how much the face can change just by being aware of what is going on within ourselves.
I am very excited to see your concepts. Please let me know if you have questions.
Thank-you !

Tanker hits Bay Bridge - probe begins
No oil spills as tanker hits Bay Bridge tower - human error investigated
The Coast Guard is looking at human error as a possible explanation for an accident Monday in which an empty oil tanker sideswiped a tower of the Bay Bridge, officials said.
No oil spilled into the bay when the starboard side of the tanker, the Overseas Reymar, scraped the easternmost tower of the bridge's western span at 11:20 a.m. as the ship headed out to sea, the Coast Guard said.
Caltrans said the fenders around the tower were damaged, but that the bridge itself was unharmed. No one was injured.
It was the second time in a little more than five years that a ship hit a tower of the western span. Unlike in November 2007, when the container ship Cosco Busan spilled 53,000 gallons of fuel oil, the Overseas Reymar's hull survived with only "scrapes and dents," said Charlie Goodyear, a spokesman for the San Francisco Bar Pilots association.
The Overseas Reymar is a double-hull vessel, its owner said. The Cosco Busan had only a single hull.
Limited visibility
It wasn't immediately clear what caused Monday's accident, the Coast Guard said. Fog had cut visibility to about a quarter-mile, but all the navigational aids designed to alert pilots to the presence of the bridge appeared to be working correctly, officials said.
Lt. Cmdr. Shawn Lansing said the Coast Guard was looking into human error as a possible cause of the crash.
"That is ... what we'll look into here and see whether in fact it was a human error or something else," Lansing said at a news conference on Treasure Island. The Coast Guard cautioned, however, that a final determination could take months.
The ship was under the control of Guy Kleess, a bar pilot with eight years of experience, state authorities said. Efforts to reach Kleess for comment were unsuccessful.
Kleess, 61, a resident of San Francisco, has a clean record as a pilot, Goodyear said.
"He had previously been a ship's captain, and I think that experience included captaining oil tankers," Goodyear said. "He is a very experienced mariner."
Pilot has control
A bar pilot gives orders to the helmsman while a ship is in the bay. Although the captain has the ultimate responsibility, the pilot has control.
Bar pilots are regulated by the California Board of Pilot Commissioners for the Bays of San Francisco, San Pablo and Suisun. Its executive director, Allen Garfinkle, said the board was looking into the accident.
"We try to determine if there's any pilot error," Garfinkle said. "Our investigation runs concurrent with the Coast Guard," which is leading the probe into the incident.
Lansing said the ship's crew and Kleess would be tested for drugs and alcohol and held in port until the investigation is complete. Goodyear said Kleess was scheduled to talk to Coast Guard investigators Tuesday.
Ship had left Martinez
The Overseas Reymar, built in 2004, is 751 feet long and 105 feet wide and has a maximum speed of 14 knots, or about 16 mph. The vessel is based in Majuro, a large coral atoll in the Marshall Islands, and is owned by OSG Ship Management, which is headquartered in New York.
The tanker left a dock near the Shell refinery in Martinez early Monday before passing south under the Bay Bridge. It briefly anchored, then turned around and headed back north, according to the ship's track on MarineTraffic.com, a commercial ship-tracking website.
The ship was traveling at 11.8 knots when it hit the tower, according to the website.
OSG Ship Management issued a statement saying the ship "came in contact with an underwater portion of the structure." Goodyear said there was damage to the rear starboard portion of the ship above the waterline.
Some 4,000 feet of absorbent boom was staged as a precaution after the tanker anchored west of Yerba Buena Island, the Coast Guard said.
"We have game wardens, scientists and oil spill prevention specialists on scene," said Alexia Retallack, the spokeswoman for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Office of Spill Prevention and Response. "So far our patrol boats have not found any oil."
Cosco Busan disaster
The tower that the Overseas Reymar hit is just east of the tower that the Cosco Busan struck on Nov. 7, 2007. Oil from that spill spread along 26 miles of shoreline and beaches in Marin and San Mateo counties and killed more than 6,800 birds.
The 901-foot Cosco Busan hit the bridge in a thick morning fog. The National Transportation Safety Board assigned much of the blame to the pilot, Capt. John Cota of Petaluma, a pilot for 27 years.
The board said he set sail in a fog that kept other pilots in port, failed to inform the ship's captain of his navigation plan, misread the ship's radar and navigation charts, and used medications that impaired his thinking.
The board also said the vessel's operators had failed to train the crew adequately, and criticized the Coast Guard for failing to provide clear warnings.
Cota pleaded guilty in 2009 to federal charges of causing water pollution and was sentenced to 10 months in prison. The ship's operating company, Fleet Management Ltd., pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of water pollution and two felony counts of filing false documents and was fined $10 million.
Fleet Management and the ship's owner, Regal Stone Ltd., settled damage claims by federal, state and local agencies for $44.4 million in 2011, and also agreed to pay $3.6 million to 120 members of the Bay Area fishing community.

"We don't need a hero," Lady Bisons coach Kristin Ryman said. "We have to come out and try not to do too much. We can't press. We don't need anybody to do anything extra.
"As a whole we don't need anyone to try to do more than they have already done. It is going to be a bigger challenge this time around, but we don't have to try any harder than we have been."
Friday afternoon at 3:30 the Lady Bisons, 48-11, will face UAB, 36-20, at the Alabama Softball Complex at University of Alabama, The host Crimson Tide, the No. 1 seed overall in the NCAA Tournament with a 48-9 record, will face Alcorn State, 24-24, in game two at 6.
The Lady Bisons split with UAB at Draper Diamond April 20. They won the first game 1-0 behind a no-hitter effort from Whitney Kiihnl. They lost game two 7-5.
UAB's Blazers finished fourth in Conference USA. The Lady Bisons won both the regular season and tournament championships in the Atlantic Sun Conference.
Saturday the winners of Friday's games will play at 1:30. The losers of Friday's games will play at 4. In the third game the winner of game four will play the loser of game three.
Sunday's championship game begins at 1:30.
The regional is double elimination. Games will be video streamed through Alabama's athletics web site at rolltide.com. Brent High and Brian Ryman will provide audio streaming at lipscombsports.com.
The Lady Bisons, UAB and Alcorn State are all three making their first NCAA Tournament appearances. Ryman has not addressed that issue with the team.
"There are uncertainties associated with being in a regional and those teams are all going through the same thing," Ryman said. "We just need everybody to go out and do their job."
Stormy weather: The Lady Bisons had to cut their practice session short by approximately six minutes due to lightning in the area Thursday.
Each team was allotted 75 minutes of practice and the Lady Bisons went through a spirited, fast-moving session.
"We got in the work we needed," Ryman said. "We had a fast-paced practice. We were go, go, go. We grabbed some water and hustled back out on the field.
"We switched gears from one thing to the next. Everybody mentally was everywhere. We wanted to get in a lot of reps. In a game situation they will have a chance to catch their breath from one play to the next."
The lightning, which was soon followed by heavy rain, forced the Lady Bisons to go inside to work on their hitting.
"It is exciting to be here and finally get out on the field," Ryman said. "It was good for the girls to get out and be in a bigger stadium and get a feel for what it is like."
The Lady Bisons found the surface of the field to be a little harder than they expected. Apparently, it had not been watered Thursday. After a late afternoon and night of rain it is expected to be softer.
"The infield was harder and very, very quick," Ryman said. "It took some getting used to today."
The Lady Bisons followed their usual practice of eating pasta the night before a game, making a stop at DePalma's Italian Café. "We need to stay relaxed and stay confident," Ryman said. "We need to calm our nerves a little bit."
Kiihnl earns another honor: Kiihnl was named a First Team Southeast Region selection for the Louisville Slugger/National Fast Pitch Coaches Association. It marks the first time a Lady Bisons softball player has been named to a region team.
"I'm glad she was named to the first team," Ryman said. "It is very well-deserved. She was up against pitchers from the University of Tennessee, Florida State, North Carolina, Florida and North Carolina State.
"This shows that other people have a lot of respect for what Whitney has been able to do this year. Her numbers speak for themselves. She knows she doesn't pitch in the SEC or ACC. I think her numbers would be even higher if she did. She threw a one-hitter against California and a two-hitter against Kentucky. Both were shutouts."
Ryman stresses that Kiihnl's influence on the team goes beyond her 31-3 record, 0.73 earned run average, 12 shutouts and 319 strikeouts.
"We feel fortunate to have her here," Ryman said. "The personality she brings has helped this team find its identity.
"We have a diverse group of personalities. But Whitney has her moments where she keeps everybody smiling and laughing. She is a special kid."

Government bureaucracies are often criticized for being too slow to come up with regulations for ever-changing technologies and business practices. But when it comes to self-driving cars, the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles is ahead of the curve. The Silver State is the first to announce potential regulations for autonomous vehicles.
This is actually the first step in implementing the Autonomous Car Bill signed by Governor Brian Sandoval (pictured) last June. The bill will make it explicitly legal for self-driving cars to roam Nevada's public roads (other states like California have no explicit prohibition, but no confirmation of the cars' legality either).
The bill "requires the Department of Motor Vehicles adopt regulations to adopt regulations authorizing the operation of autonomous vehicles on highways within the State of Nevada." The first vehicles to take advantage of the new law will be prototypes, but that doesn't mean their will not be rules.
Like regular cars, self-driving vehicles will need to meet standards of road legality, hence the need for DMV regulations. So far, the Nevada DMV has announced that test cars will wear red license plates, and any future consumer models will wear green ones.
With motorists warned about who (or what) is driving the robo-cars, the next step will be deciding which cars and what equipment will be allowed on the road. "The department is currently developing licensing procedures for companies that want to test their self-driving vehicles," said DMV director Brian Breslow, "Nevada is proud to be the first state to embrace this emergent technology."
Nevada officials said they were working with car companies, insurance companies, testing professionals, universities, and law enforcement to draft the regulations. Google, whose small fleet of autonomous cars has already logged many miles in California, is also involved.
The timing of the legislation was particularly fortuitous for Google. About six weeks after the bill was passed, one of Google's autonomous Toyota Priuses was involved in a fender-bender; Google blamed the human driver. If that accident happened in Nevada, the question of whether the Prius should have been on the road in the first place would not be brought up. Testing self-driving cars in a state that openly embraces the technology will probably help Google's lawyers sleep better.
During the Cold War, Nevada was known as the home of Area 51, where top-secret aircraft prototypes (and, conspiracy theorists say, alien spacecraft) were tested. This time, the futuristic technology will be out in the open, on public roads. The biggest mystery may be who will show up to the DMV to collect those red license plates.

10 reasons to come
Unexpected Opportunity
Like generations of Nevadans before, students at the University of Nevada, Reno find opportunity that they never knew existed. Come to Nevada and find a high desert oasis surrounded by snowcapped mountains, accessible faculty solving global problems and students participating in competitions among the best universities in the world.
10. Beautiful Campus
From the 100-year-old, elm tree-lined Jeffersonian quad to the state-of-the-art Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center, the campus possesses historic beauty and digital convenience alike. The campus is also designated a state arboretum.
9. Vibrant Cultural Scene
Reno often conjures up images of gambling and the Wild West. More recently, though, Reno has experienced a Bohemian renaissance, with a growing arts community, increasing international flavor and the annual counterculture festival, Burning Man.
8. Classic College Experience
With striking residence halls, an involved student government and active fraternities and sororities, University of Nevada, Reno offers a classic college student experience. Such history and tradition are especially apparent during Homecoming and Mackay Week.
7. Competitive Division I Athletics
As a member of the Mountain West Conference, students can expect to see the Wolf Pack face off against top quality competition. Such spirited competition builds campus community and offers students an exciting diversion from their academic pursuits.
6. Strong Academic Reputation
University of Nevada, Reno faculty are well respected in their fields and often bring home career achievement awards. In the College of Science, several faculty members have earned the National Science Foundation's CAREER award, which honors up-and-coming professors with $500,000 grants.
5. Gateway to the World
The University Studies Abroad Consortium is one of the largest study abroad programs in the nation with numerous programs in 24 countries around the globe. Hundreds of students from other top-name American universities use the program because of its quality and offerings.
4. Awe-inspiring, Adrenaline-Inducing Landscape
Located on the border between the Great Basin and the Sierra Nevada, Reno has been dubbed "America's Adventure Place" for its impressive and diverse geographic offerings. With crystal clear Lake Tahoe 30 minutes to the west, the barren Black Rock Desert to the northeast, and Yosemite a short road trip to the southwest, Reno is a great destination for nature lovers and adrenaline junkies alike.
3. Wise Investment
A college education requires a large investment of time and finances. But according to a recent study, individuals earn in additional income 8.2 times what they invested in a four-year degree. Bettering yourself requires sacrifice, but it's a sacrifice you'll be glad you made.
2. Hands-on Research
Unlike many public research universities, the University of Nevada, Reno offers its students the chance to get up close and personal with highly credentialed faculty, researchers and professionals. Ph.D. professors regularly teach undergraduate students and invite them to research labs or internships.
1. Tier 1 Quality, Unrivaled Affordability
Many students are forced to choose between quality and affordability. At the University of Nevada, Reno you can have both. Our students pay 80 percent less than at the average Tier 1 institution.
We've got the quality of education you need to be competitive in the world at prices you can actually afford. Why would you go anywhere else?

#3: It's About Dignity and Poverty, Not About Facebook
Our Top Ten Blog Posts by Readership in 2011
Originally published on February 8, 2011
Frank Rich, op-ed columnist at the New York Times, made a very important point this week: Revolutions are not about Facebook and Twitter. Revolutions are about human dignity and hunger. It seems that a few journalists are trying to push the (mainstream) media's fascination with the role of (social) media in Egypt, Tunisia, and Iran toward a more realistic point of view. After a prime-time CNN talking head stated that social media are the most fascinating thing about the events in Egypt (!), some senior journalists seem to have had it with the ICT hype. Rich tries to pull attention to why people rise up against their government: "starting with the issues of human dignity and crushing poverty."

Trinity's Robust After-School Program
Trinity School's after-school program, Extended Programs, has been around as long as Trinity itself. What began as a small program at Trinity Church has grown with the School and is now an integral part of the Total Trinity Experience.
Trinity offers both Core Classes and Special Classes after school. During Core Classes—Lunch Bunch, Stay and Play, Explorations, Study Hour, and Connections—our youngest students focus on learning and play, from enjoying playground time to engaging in small-group activities that enhance language skills, strengthen gross and fine motor skills, and enrich cognitive development. Our older students have the opportunity to complete homework in a structured environment, where Trinity Teachers answer specific questions, support good time management, and help implement study skills. Additionally, some Core Classes bring students from Early Learners through Sixth Grade together, creating opportunities for students to build friendships across grade levels, reinforce the bonds started in the School's Buddy or Big Kid/Little Kid programs, and feel part of the larger Trinity community.
Offerings for Special Classes are driven by the interests of Trinity students and requests from parents. Allowing students to choose the areas they would like to explore gives them more ownership of their learning and the opportunity to deepen their learning in areas that excite them. Led by Trinity Teachers and top-level professionals from the local community, an extensive variety of classes are offered.
Specials include performing and visual arts classes, such as Abrakadoodle Art, Alliance Theatre Acting, Choir, Improv, private and group music lessons, and sewing. Chess and Fine Cooking are very popular classes for all grade levels.
Our students' love for science is apparent in the number of STEAM classes that fill quickly every semester. Featuring robots, design thinking, programming, and engineering, some favorites include Cool Kids Coding, Minecraft Mania and YuGiOh, STEAM with Miss Kimberly, STEM Hands-On Science, and Trinity Robo Warriors.
Extended Programs also offers a diverse selection of sports programs, including baseball, fitness, golf, karate, soccer, tennis, and yoga. With more than 130 students enrolled each semester, Fast and Fit is one of the most popular classes. During this class, First through Sixth Grade students increase their fitness level and develop teamwork and leadership skills while running, playing games, and having fun.
Whether a student enjoys indoor or outdoor activities, Trinity's Extended Programs is committed to providing quality learning opportunities for all students. Each semester, approximately 1,200 seats in Core and Special Classes are filled, and more than 75 percent of Trinity students participate in at least one class with the average student enrolling in three classes. An essential part of the Trinity Experience, Extended Programs helps the School further its mission of creating a community of learners in which each child can acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to achieve his or her unique potential and become a responsible, productive, and compassionate member of the expanding global community.

Family Dentistry
- Details
- Category: General Dentistry
Your intial consultation with name is a great opportunity for you to learn more about our family dental practice and get comfortable with your surroundings. You will become familiar with our talented and friendly family dentistry staff in addition to your one on one discussion with name your family dentist.
What is Family Dentistry
Family dentistry is similar to the practice of general dentistry with some minor exceptions. Both practices deal with tooth health and oral hygiene and are often used interchangeably. Family dentists are known to accept patients of all ages making any office providing such services an ideal choice for patients with children. Family dentists will provide care for you children's baby teeth as well as your adult teeth.
Patients are welcome to meet the dentist and visit the office before making their first appointment as it is important that you and your children are comfortable with the dentist and the dental environment. Visiting the dentist as a child may be daunting at first but here at name we wish to ensure that every visit is a comfortable and successful one.
By treating patients of all ages, your ' family dentist allows patients to book family appointments. This way your family can be treated in the same day, meaning fewer appointments necessary and making it easier to fit oral hygiene into your busy schedule. Dental hygiene is important, and by booking family appointments you not only save time, and transportation, it also makes trips to the dentist easier which ultimately ensures that your family will maintain great oral health. Your dental health is our top priority. Regular appointments can ensure preventative care rather than treating dental issues that have already evolved.

Tile Style
Top-notch kitchens & baths
Craig Macaluso
(page 1 of 6)
Jared and Carla Bellard
What did you feel was important in the kitchen of your recently built home?
Carla: Our home has an open floor plan, so I felt the color scheme should be neutral, which I did with the cabinets, painted a cream with brown antiquing. To make the island stand out but still remain neutral, I used a sage green that also has an antiqued finish.
How do the tiles work in this scenario?
Carla: There needed to be a pop, so I accomplished this with the rectangular finger tiles that show varying shades of brown. The half-inch tiles set in picture frames in the back of the stove and the sink are seen from the living room, and that looks really nice. United Tile of Lafayette LLC is where the tiles were purchased.
How else did you make your kitchen more attractive when viewed from the living area?
Carla: What shows is the raised part of the island with my bar stools but not the part that is lower in the kitchen area. My microwave is incorporated in this part of the island, so that takes it out of the visual, too. The corbels on the higher side were a nice decorative addition.
What materials are your floors and countertops made from?
Carla: My countertops are granite in coordinating hues while my floors are 24-by-24-inch amber-colored porcelain tiles laid in a 45-degree diamond pattern.
What thought process brought about the cabinet section with the clear glass-paneled doors?
Carla: I wanted to add a piece of furniture there, but my designer, Christi Latour of Latour Interior Design LLC, suggested we just add this instead to show some of the nice decorative items I had. She was a great help in my selection of everything you see in our kitchen.

Here's amazing video of flood waters flushing cars down a street in the Italian village of Atrani on the Amalfi Coast last week.
The flooding, caused by intense storms, claimed the life of one woman and as we see here, countless Fiats.
We almost forget sometimes just how powerfully forceful water. Then we watch a video like this and we get to about 1:20 into it and see cars being treated like they're Hot Wheels being cleaned off a muddy driveway by God holding a hose. Then we remember.

In his latest series of drawings, Anthony Coicolea poetically engages with the term "pathetic fallacy" or our own egocentric inclination to prescribe human characteristics or qualities to all living things. His imagery, done beautifully with simple graphite on layered mylar, allows worlds to overflow with new pattens of transcendence despite an archaic old world order.
Of this series, the artist statement suggests, "In a new hybridized world of man and nature, nothing is permanent and nothing is safe. Humans, plants and animals have cross-pollinated; they have merged, evolved and adopted different features from each other. Objects acquire pathos and empathy while the decomposition of material things reflects the world in flux.

Though Wrong About 'Treason', Yahoo's Marissa Mayer Shows Why It's Hard To 'Just Say No' When The NSA Comes Calling
from the that's-not-true deptWe were just having a discussion in our comments about how companies should respond to NSA (and other law enforcement) requests for information. Many of our commenters take the extreme positions that companies should never abide by such requests and should always reveal them publicly. I tend to take the view that this is a counterproductive approach that is much more likely to destroy a company and have the execs end up in jail. So, I can kind of see where Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer is coming from when she was asked about the NSA efforts and falsely stated it would be "treason" to disobey:
"Releasing classified information is treason. It generally lands you incarcerated," she said, clearly uncomfortable with the turn of the conversation.She repeated that claim again later, so it wasn't a one-off thing:
"I'm proud to be part of an organization that from the very beginning in 2007, with the NSA and FISA and PRISM, has been skeptical and has scrutinized those requests. In 2007 Yahoo filed a lawsuit against the new Patriot Act, parts of PRISM and FISA, we were the key plaintiff. A lot of people have wondered about that case and who it was. It was us ... we lost. The thing is, we lost and if you don't comply it's treason."First off, let's get this out of the way: she's wrong. It's not treason. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Treason is defined in 18 USC 2381, and revealing classified info isn't there:
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.Releasing classified information to the public is not covered. She is right that Yahoo fought a key FISA court lawsuit and lost -- and she's right that if Yahoo didn't comply, it (and its executives) would be in serious trouble, but not treason-level trouble.
That said: this does raise a serious question about what companies can do. I know that many don't trust any other process to get this information out there. And, like everyone else, I'm happy that some individuals such as Ed Snowden and Chelsea Manning had the courage to blow the whistle and reveal government misdeeds. And I'd likely support other individuals and companies that choose to take a stand and reveal government wrongdoing. But it's a step too far to claim that it's a requirement when it's not your life on the line. And, for many companies it's not hard to recognize that there are strategies that are likely to be much more effective than flat out breaking the law. Doing so would not just open them up to a lawsuit that would be expensive, but would also open them up to being tarred and feathered by a large portion of the population. And that would likely make any "statement" they were making much less effective.
Even Lavabit, which many of us respect for choosing to shut down in the face of a government order, has not revealed the nature of that order, knowing that doing so would be monumentally stupid in the long run and counterproductive.
Strategy involves thinking multiple moves ahead, not just making the one big move upfront. That's how you lose. These fights and the efforts to stop government surveillance will die an early death if companies just flat-out ignore FISA Court orders. First off, many of them are legit, even if some people don't want to recognize that. But, more importantly, there are multiple ways you fight back against these programs, and blowing the entire strategy upfront by publicizing a single request like that is almost certainly destined to backfire. Snowden didn't just reveal the first document he came across. He planned out a detailed strategy. Assuming companies should blow a ton of goodwill and the power to effect real change by revealing the first FISA Court order that comes along, even if it's legitimate, is a quick way to destroy the company, the lives of execs, and do little to create actual change.
Marissa Mayer is wrong to claim that it's treason, but she's right that there are limits to what a single company can do. Yes, we can hope that more companies fight back against more secret orders, but at some point reality has to be a part of the discussion.
