Nicholas DiMeglio grew up in Williamsburg, Virginia and began working in the hospitality industry at the early age of twelve. Over the next several years, he continued working various jobs within the industry including bellman, dishwasher, server, and cook. Prior to his current position as the Corporate Food and Beverage Director and General Manager at the Williamsburg Inn, he served as vice president at Guest Services Inc. a hospitality company located in Fairfax, Virginia. Guest Services Inc. encompasses hotel operations across the United States. As vice president, he oversaw the marketing and operations for the company as well as the handling of new business contacts. DiMeglio traveled extensively during this time and oversaw businesses in many states, such as West Virginia, Florida, Washington, and California.
After traveling and working in management for 20 years, DiMeglio decided to return to his hometown and settle down in a job that required less traveling. He acquired his current job from a search firm that sought after him. He is currently working at the Williamsburg Inn as the Corporate Food and Beverage Director and has been General Manager for the past ten months. DiMeglio believes that to be successful in the hospitality industry one must possess leadership skills, great listening skills, and must be able to multitask. The ability to produce a plan and put it into action is also a key to success according to DiMeglio. Currently for DiMeglio, understanding quality from a five star perspective is vital to success in his position. This is important for DiMeglio in that he is currently working on changing the Williamsburg Inn's four-star rating to a five-star rating, which his father established for the Inn years ago.
For DiMeglio there is not a typical day at the Williamsburg Inn. The only thing that doesn't seem to change and may be considered typical would be the long hours, but every day is different according to what guests they have, which employees are on staff and what events are planned. DiMeglio typically works from 7:30 a.m. until about 7:00 p.m. His days are filled with various meetings with the staff each day and biweekly meetings focused solely on food and beverage.
Nicholas DiMeglio recommends to students who are majoring in Hospitality and Tourism Management to gain as much experience as they can. He suggests working in different positions to gain knowledge from all aspects of the hospitality field. Becoming well rounded and educated in all the areas is important in order to become successful in the hospitality industry. According to DiMeglio each position teaches you something different that will help you in later years. DiMeglio suggests that graduates of JMU can be beneficial to the Williamsburg Inn by being guests there. He strongly recommends that students seeking a job at the Williamsburg Inn come with experience, great leadership and listening skills as well.
Nicholas DiMeglio has worked in the hospitality industry for many years. Through his experience in a variety of jobs, he gained valuable knowledge that helped him along the way. He believes that working in the hospitality industry is not just a job, but is a lifestyle and for anyone who wants to become part of this great field, hard work and experience are your best bet for success.

Vaulted Kitchens
As kitchens have become more and more the center of the home, the actual form of the room has changed, too. No longer is it a small, purely-utilitarian space tucked away out of sight. Often, the kitchen is now a place to gather, relax, and spend time. With that new use, we're seeing a lot of kitchens open up to vaulted ceilings as in these examples:
• 1 Tim Dorrington Architects, photo by Emma-Jane Hetherington
• 2 More Ways to Waste Time
• 3 Jordi Canosa via Desire to Inspire
• 4 Better Homes and Gardens
• 5 Archinspire
Vaulted ceilings really serve the main purpose of drawing in light (thus, people). It's not like they're for additional storage (okay, maybe a little, but most of it would be way too high!) or practicality (how do you clean way up there?). Do you think a heightened kitchen volume as seen here makes the room more of a public space in the home?
1 Comment
I have a vaulted kitchen ceiling (though my counters and cabinets aren't as stunning at these) and I adore the open space and amazingly adjustable lighting that is incorporated under the cabinets and in recessed cans. Add a dimmer switch and it feels like a sexy sushi bar or open the drapes to let in the sunshine it's a close second to dining al fresco.
The other elements that pair well with a vaulted ceiling are an island cooktop and bar seating.

My other toaster was fine, but it was getting old cooking large breakfasts with just a two-slot toaster. This Cuisinart four-slice filled the bill. There are a great many big box stores and kitchen outlets nearby, but the style and price on line was better. I've had it for a few months and we love it. It holds big, fat bagels with no problem. The stainless style goes great with our other stainless appliances. It heats very quickly and is true to the temp settings. The only gripe (which is not a big deal), is that it is sometimes hard to tell what setting the dial is pointing to as dial is stainless. I'd suggest the manufacturer just put a black line on the dial so it would be easier to see. Other than that, it's a keeper!
Love this toaster....very pretty, and operates nicely
Matched my appliances perfectly. It looked more like a brushed stainless steel in the picture but not in person. Great quality. Cuisinart has done it again.
Bought this toaster and had it 28 days, one side started buzzing and making noise then it died. I contacted Cuisinart directly about this and they told me to send it back to them (at my expense) and then send $10.00 (to cover there cost of sending a new one) they will send a new one, after many e-mails and phone call they said this is all they could do for me even if it was only 28 days. Contacted the seller ( overstock.com) they were more than happy to issue a return tag and credited my acount. ( thank you ) This toaster also toasts one side dark and the other side lighter no matter what you are toasting and no matter what setting it is on.

Cadwalader UK to cut jobs after walkout
Readers' comments (3)
Cadwalader again in the news for the wrong reasons.
"Following the Paul Hastings defections Cadwalader has four partners and 14 associates based in London" ... Yes, for now but this is the third round of redundancies after the first one was presented as being the only one (by the very Bob Link!). 18 lawyers, down from about 80 two years ago!!The way Bob Link seems to want to rebuild the London office is getting rid of everyone (including support staff who had been there from the very beginning) and then start all the way from scratch again. Great management strategy!! Makes you wonder how this firm came to be the oldest Wall Street firm around. Probably not thanks to the likes of Bob Link and Chris White.
How awful that people have been made redundant at this crucial time for the firm. Practically all the people who would have had some residual loyalty to Cadwalader and therefore would have stuck it out through the rebuilding process now have lost their jobs or have lost a friend at work. The rebuilding process will literally be from scratch now!
Thank you to Paul Hastings
Not for headhunting the partners and associates, resulting in these new redundancies but for the enhanced redundancy package CWT are now passing off as it's own. May CWT now rot in the backwaters it surely belongs. Protectionism of Americans at its worst.

It's a dark art, selling someone something they don't want to buy. Well, convincing them they do want to buy, they just don't know it yet...
David Mamet's profane, ruthless script skewers the gung-ho agonies of ageing cold-callers at a Chicago real estate office. On a drizzly summer evening, the company ships in old-hand Alec Baldwin to deliver a pep-talk to the underperformers ("The fucking leads are weak? You're weak!"). They all have their pitches: Moss (Ed Harris) is jaded but avuncular, George (Alan Arkin) is by-the-book mediocre while Roma (Al Pacino) treats selling as seduction, wooing with booze and schmooze before whipping out his contract.
Best, though, is the eminently huggable Jack Lemmon as Sheldon 'The Machine' Levene – the tarnished past pattermaster whose talent for weaselling into the domestic world of his quarry has become outmoded, creepy and desperate. Mamet uses him as a whipping boy, exposing the hollow heartlessness of this "world of men". Alternate title: Death Of A Real Estate Salesman.
But, above and beyond the no-flab structure, alpha male willy-waving and breathless dialogue, lies one simple truth... Any film in which Al Pacino calls Kevin Spacey a "stupid fucking cunt" surely deserves a chunk of your hard-earned.

PINE BLUFF (KATV) - An asthma attack leads to the death of a Pine Bluff woman, but her family believes hospital employees played a role as well.
Asthma kills nine Americans every day.
On Sunday, 26 year-old Charlesetta Brown became a member of that sobering statistic.
Her family says it shouldn't have happened.
Family members and text messages from the deceased herself help tell the story of a dying woman's final hours waiting for care in a hospital.
Seven month-old Paris Londyn Brown never spent a day without her mother…until this week.
"She was always there with her and as of right now you can tell she is looking for her mother," says Charles Anderson, Charlesetta's step-father.
"Well…she reminds me a lot of her mother," Charles Brown Sr. says while holding baby Paris. "Sweet…always smiling."
But Charlesetta Brown wasn't smiling Sunday afternoon.
She was dealing with an asthma attack.
"It always flares up on her," says Anderson. "And, you know, I mean…maybe about once a year or something, you know. It always…she always had a flare up and she would go out to the hospital and get a breathing treatment and a shot and then she would be fine."
Anderson dropped off his step-daughter at Jefferson Regional Medical Center's ER and waited for the call to come back and get her.
About an hour later Charlesetta texts her mother: "They ain't called a name since I been here."
Her mom asks: "You still in the front?"
She replies: "Yea. She say 30 minutes."
To which Charlesetta's mom texts back: "Do I need to come out there?"
"No," she replies.
But mom, still concerned, texts: "Are you alright?"
There is no reply.
Over an hour later mom tries again: "Are you still in the front?"
The last text Charlesetta would send reads "No. No assistance yet."
Charlesetta Brown would be declared dead an hour later.
Hospital paperwork cites the cause of death as "Asthma exacerbation, pulmonary embolism."
"If you got relatives going out there to the hospital or any hospital make sure somebody be with them so the doctors and the nurses and everybody involved do their part," says a tearful Anderson.
Jefferson Regional Medical Center emailed us a statement about this situation, saying it can't comment on but is investigating what happened, and adding that "We are deeply saddened and extend our condolences to the family and loved ones."

World Water Monitoring Day
World Water Monitoring Day, September 18, 2007 - call for participation
On September 18th 2007, tens of thousands of people in an anticipated 50 countries will celebrate World Water Monitoring Day (WWMD). The event, which is organized jointly by the Water Environment Federation (www.wef.org) and the International Water Association (www.iwahq.org) aims to bring public attention to the role that the world's citizens must play in ensuring a sustainable supply of clean, usable water in each and every country. Participants will test the quality of rivers, lakes and other water bodies using a simple monitoring kit. All the water quality data from around the world is collected in the WWMD database, which provides a unique snapshot of the state of the world's water. You can take part by registering one or more monitoring sites in your area on the World Water Monitoring Day web site: www.worldwatermonitoringday.org.
In 2006, 28,150 participants tested water quality at 3,991 sites in 39 different countries. These numbers are roughly double what they were on the first annual WWMD in 2003. Last year, many on this list actively supported the initiative, and this message is a request for your continued support in 2007.
This year, we would like to increase our engagement with you to reach more monitoring sites and involve more participants. Please indicate:
a) if you/your organization is willing to participate in 2007
b) your full postal address, including email
c) the number of monitoring kits you will need for 2007
As an additional request, I would be grateful if you could pass this message on to 1 other colleague locally who might be able to participate and join in WWMD.
IWA has a limited number of free water monitoring kits available for participants in low income countries. If you would like more information about World Water Monitoring Day, or if you are interested in receiving free monitoring kits for WWMD activities in your country, please email the above mentioned information to firstname.lastname@example.com

Filed under: Etc., Crossover, Subaru
Each year, Motor Trend hands out its coveted Golden Calipers to its Car, Truck and SUV of the Year, and in the latter category, this year's bragging rights belong to the redesigned Subaru Forester. In the 14-year history of the SUV award category, Subaru is the only automaker to win three times (2009, 2010 and 2014) and the Forester is the only model to make a return appearance having also won the award back in 2009. In the last six years, this award has either gone to a Subaru or to a luxury crossover/SUV (Mercedes GL-Class in 2013, Land Rover Range Rover Evoque in 2012 and Porsche Cayenne in 2011).
Out of the 13 new or updated crossovers and SUVs in contention for the award, the 2014 Forester came out on top thanks its value, fuel efficiency and fun-to-drive attitude. Rather than a head-to-head battle, the utility vehicles are all judged on six criteria (design, engineering, efficiency, safety, value and performance of intended function). Other vehicles on the consideration list included the Acura MDX, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Land Rover Range Rover Sport and Toyota RAV4.

The Great Debate UK
from Global News Journal:
UNsensational? Five more years of Ban Ki-moon
It's hard to find a delegate to the United Nations who despises U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. But it's even harder to find someone who thinks he has the gravitas and charisma of his Nobel Peace Prize-winning predecessor Kofi Annan, who invoked the wrath of the previous U.S. administration when he called the 2003 invasion of Iraq "illegal." As one senior Western official, who declined to be identified, said about Ban: "It's not as if he's lightning in a bottle, but we can live with him."
The former South Korean foreign minister is in the final year of his first five-year term and is widely expected to run for another stint as the supreme U.N. official. The formal re-election process is likely to commence in the coming months. In the meantime, Ban is visiting the capitals of key U.N. member states to gauge his chances of keeping his job. Those chances, U.N. diplomats say, are excellent. So far, no country has nominated any candidate to oppose him. "I'd put my money on Ban Ki-moon getting a second term," said a Security Council diplomat.
The 15-nation Security Council nominates the secretary-general, though the choice has to be confirmed by the 192-nation General Assembly. Despite the veneer of democracy, it is the five veto-wielding permanent council members -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States -- who choose the top U.N. bureaucrat in New York. And none of the five has any serious objections to a second and final term for Ban, diplomats say.
from Global News Journal:
WikiLeaks Scandal: Is the United Nations a Den of Spies?
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice has dismissed suggestions that her diplomats are part-time spies, as suggested by the latest batch of documents released by the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks.
"Let me be very clear -- our diplomats are just that, they're diplomats," Rice told reporters at the United Nations where she was peppered with questions about the latest chapter in the WikiLeaks scandal. "Our diplomats are doing what diplomats do around the world every day, which is build relationships, negotiate, advance our interests and work to find common solutions to complex problems."
She didn't exactly deny the charges of espionage. But the top U.S. diplomat in New York did reject the idea that there would be any diplomatic fallout from the release of thousands of documents obtained by WikiLeaks, some of which have been published by The Guardian and other newspapers.
One U.S. diplomatic cable published by The Guardian shows how the State Department instructed diplomats at the United Nations and elsewhere around the world to collect credit card and frequent flyer numbers, work schedules and biometric data for U.N. officials and diplomats. Among the personalities of interest was U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, as were the ambassadors of the other 14 Security Council member states.
There is nothing new about espionage at the United Nations, but it's always embarrassing when classified documents proving it happens surface in the media.
Most Security Council envoys declined to comment on the WikiLeaks documents as they headed into the council chambers on Monday for a meeting on North Korea. Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin, however, told reporters, "Surprise, surprise."
Churkin should know. One of the diplomats in his charge was implicated earlier this year in a high-profile Russian espionage case in the United States in which nearly a dozen people were accused of being part of a Russian spy ring that carried out deep-cover work in the United States to recruit political sources and gather information for Moscow. The U.S. Justice Department said that an unnamed diplomat at the Russian mission to the United Nations had delivered payments to the spy ring.
And then there was the man known as "Comrade J", a Russian spy based in New York from 1995 to 2000. Working out of Russia's U.N. mission, Comrade J directed Russian espionage activity in New York City and personally oversaw all covert operations against the United States and its allies in the United Nations. According to a book about his exploits, Comrade J eventually became a double agent for the FBI.
Nor does the history of U.N. espionage end there. In 2004, a former British cabinet minister revealed that British intelligence agents had spied on Ban Ki-moon's predecessor Kofi Annan, who fell afoul of Washington and London by opposing the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Mohamed ElBaradei, the former head of the Vienna-based U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), was also the victim of a phone-bugging operation, according to media reports from 2004. He had also opposed the invasion of Iraq and angered the United States by saying that their intelligence on Saddam Hussein's alleged revival of his nuclear arms program was not only incorrect but partly based on falsified evidence. U.S. officials pored over transcripts of ElBaradei's telephone intercepts in an attempt to secure evidence of mistakes that could be used to oust him from his post, the reports said. Not only did they fail to unseat him, he went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005.
The meeting of young minds
A sedate group of more than 1,000 young people brought together in London to discuss socio-political issues makes a sharp contrast to those who challenge the status quo via demonstrations, rallies and picket lines.
At the first annual One Young World, organised by advertising agency Euro RSCG Worldwide, delegates 25 years of age and younger network in an environment sanctioned by such high-profile "counsellors" as former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, economist Muhammad Yunus and musician Bob Geldof.
One Young World: let's hear it from the under-25s
Amid the ongoing global conversation about the economy, and projections about when — and in which markets — the world might emerge from financial crisis, the collective voice of the 25-and-under age group is hard to hear.
It could have been silenced due to a sense of futility about challenging the so-called Establishment, or it might be online — constrained by such social media outlets as Facebook and Twitter.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – From now on if you have business at the courthouse you will be greeted by a deputy and go through tighter security.
That's because the Lubbock County Sheriff's office implemented new security screenings to ensure the safety for all individuals and employees.
"It's been a long time coming. We are very fortunate we haven't had an incident in that time frame at the courthouse," said Chief Deputy Cody Scott, Lubbock County Sheriff's Office.
The Sheriff's office said it's been a challenge to implement the new security, because of the age and structure of the building.
"And we hope all the measures that we've taken to secure it will prevent it from ever happening," said Chief Deputy Scott.
After all the kinks were worked out, the Sheriff's office hired new deputies and security officers to make the process happen.
"The officers that monitor the scanners are trained on what to look for," said Chief Deputy Scott.
The public will now have to enter through the east and west entrances of the courthouse. All others entrances, like the SkyBridge will be closed.
"All the entrances and exits are monitored by camera," said Chief Deputy Scott.
The sheriff's office does not expect any delays from the screening and said it takes less than five seconds. The process is much like airport security. Anyone who enters will be asked to empty their pockets into a plastic container and place the items on the rollers to be scanned. The individual will then be asked to walk through a metal detector and if the detector goes off, then the individual will have further screening.
"Like the Sheriff say we hope it's the best money wasted in that aspect that we never have to use the equipment," said Chief Deputy Scott.
Items like guns, knives and anything that can be used as a weapon is prohibited, but Monday some people were caught with those items.
"There have been a couple instances where people walk up with pocket knives and that type of thing. They are allowed to go back to their vehicle," said Chief Deputy Scott.
But the new security measures have left many at the courthouse feeling safer.

Baker v. Nelson
Richard John Baker v. Gerald R. Nelson, 291 Minn. 310, 191 N.W.2d 185 (1971) is a case in which the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that a state law limiting marriage to persons of the opposite sex did not violate the U.S. Constitution. Baker appealed, and on October 10, 1972, the United States Supreme Court dismissed the appeal "for want of a substantial federal question."[1] Because the case came to the Supreme Court through mandatory appellate review (not certiorari), the dismissal constituted a decision on the merits and established Baker v. Nelson as precedent,[2] though the extent of its precedential effect has been subject to debate.[3] In May 2013, Minnesota legalized same-sex marriage and it took effect on August 1, 2013.[4]

Facts and trial[edit]
On May 18, 1970, two University of Minnesota gay student activists, Richard Baker and James Michael McConnell, applied for a marriage license in Minneapolis. The clerk of the Hennepin County District Court, Gerald Nelson, denied the request on the sole ground that the two were of the same sex. The couple filed suit in district court to force Nelson to issue the license.[5]
The couple first contended that Minnesota's marriage statutes contained no explicit requirement that applicants be of different sexes. If the court were to construe the statutes to require different-sex couples, however, Baker claimed such a reading would violate several provisions of the U.S. Constitution:[6]
- First Amendment (freedom of speech and of association),
- Eighth Amendment (cruel and unusual punishment),
- Ninth Amendment (unenumerated right to privacy), and
- Fourteenth Amendment (fundamental right to marry under the Due Process Clause and sex discrimination contrary to the Equal Protection Clause).
The trial court dismissed the couple's claims and ordered the clerk not to issue the license.[7]
Appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court[edit]
The couple appealed the district court's decision to the Minnesota Supreme Court. In a brief opinion issued on October 15, 1971, the state's highest court affirmed the trial court's dismissal. Based on the common usage of the term "marriage" and gender-specific references elsewhere in the same chapter, the Court held that the statutes prohibited marriage between persons of the same sex.[8] This restriction, the Court reasoned, did not offend the Due Process Clause because procreation and child rearing were central to the constitutional protection given to marriage.[9]
With respect to the claim of an equal-protection violation, the Court found that childless marriages presented no more than a theoretical imperfection in the state's rationale for limiting marriage to different-sex couples. It found the plaintiffs' reliance on the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in Loving v. Virginia, finding an anti-miscegenation law unconsititional, failed to provide a parallel: "in commonsense and in a constitutional sense, there is a clear distinction between a marital restriction based merely upon race and one based upon the fundamental difference in sex."[10]
The Court acknowledged that Justice Goldberg's concurrence in Griswold v. Connecticut, which argued that criminalizing the possession of contraceptives violated the right to marital privacy, found support for marital privacy partly in the Ninth Amendment, but the Court distinguished Griswold and found no authority for the Ninth Amendment being binding on the states.[11] The Court dismissed the plaintiffs' claims under the First and Eighth Amendments without discussion.[12]
Appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court[edit]
Baker and McConnell appealed the Minnesota court's decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. There, they claimed the Minnesota marriage statutes implicated three rights: they abridged their fundamental right to marry under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment; discriminated based on gender, contrary to the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment; and deprived them of privacy rights flowing from the Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution.[13] On October 10, 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a one-sentence order stating "The appeal is dismissed for want of a substantial federal question."[14]
In most cases presented to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Court's refusal to hear the case is not an endorsement of the decision below.[15] However, since this case came to the Court through mandatory appellate review, the summary dismissal is a decision on the merits of the case.[16] As binding precedent, the Baker decision prevents lower courts from coming to a contrary conclusion when presented with the precise issue the Court necessarily adjudicated in dismissing the case.[17]
Application of the Baker precedent[edit]
When dealing with precedents like Baker, lower courts may have to guess at the meaning of these unexplained decisions.[18] The Supreme Court has laid out rules, however, to guide lower courts in narrowly applying these summary dispositions:[19]
- The facts in the potentially binding case must not bear any legally significant differences to the case under consideration.[20]
- The binding precedent encompasses only the issues presented to the Court, not the reasoning found in the lower court's decision.[21]
- Of the issues presented, only those necessarily decided by the Court in dismissing the case control.[22]
- Subsequent developments by the Court on the relevant doctrines may cast doubt on the continuing validity of a summary judgment.[23]
Baker in federal courts[edit]
In applying the guidelines for summary dispositions, federal judges have come to differing conclusions on where and how Baker controls.
Citizens for Equal Protection v. Bruning, U.S. Court of Appeals, 8th Circuit (2006)[edit]
In Citizens for Equal Protection v. Bruning the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit rejected claims by Nebraska citizen organizations that the state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage offended the U.S. Constitution's Equal Protection Clause, among other provisions.[24] While Baker did not appear in the court's Fourteenth Amendment analysis, the court's opinion did note in its concluding passage:
- Indeed, in Baker v. Nelson, when faced with a Fourteenth Amendment challenge to a decision by the Supreme Court of Minnesota denying a marriage license to a same-sex couple, the United States Supreme Court dismissed "for want of a substantial federal question." There is good reason for this restraint.
(emphasis added in the Bruning opinion, citations omitted.)[25]
Wilson v. Ake, U.S. District Court (2005)[edit]
Two Florida women who married in Massachusetts claimed that Florida's marriage statutes and the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) violated the due process and equal protection guarantees of the Fourteenth Amendment (and implicitly the Fifth Amendment),[26] among other claims. The judge dismissed the claims against the U.S. Attorney General in part because Baker controlled: "The Supreme Court has not explicitly or implicitly overturned its holding in Baker or provided the lower courts, including this Court, with any reason to believe that the holding is invalid today."[27]
In re Kandu, U.S. Bankruptcy Court (2004)[edit]
Lee and Ann Kandu, Washington residents, were married in British Columbia. They jointly filed for bankruptcy protection. Kandu claimed, among other things, that the portion of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that precluded the bankruptcy court from allowing a joint proceeding violated due-process and equal-protection principles under the Fifth Amendment.[28] The court concluded that Baker did not control. Among the distinguishing features the court noted were the dissimilarity between state laws governing marriage licenses in Baker and the federal DOMA and bankruptcy code in this case as well as the possibility that the Supreme Court's decision in Lawrence v. Texas (striking down Texas' sodomy statute) marked a shift in the Court's "analysis of same-sex conduct."[29]
Perry v. Schwarzenegger, United States District Court for the Northern District of California (2010)[edit]
Citing Plaintiffs' argument in court filings that intervening Supreme Court cases relating to marriage and to LGBT rights distinguished Perry v. Schwarzenegger from Baker, District Judge Vaughn Walker denied Defendant-Intervenors' Motion for Summary Judgment. Later, in his ruling striking down Proposition 8, a state constitutional amendment barring same-sex marriage, Judge Walker made no mention of Baker, referring only to his previous Order.
Defense of Marriage Act Cases before the U.S. Court of Appeals, First Circuit (2012)[edit]
In Massachusetts v. United States Department of Health and Human Services and Gill v. Office of Personnel Management the court struck down the challenged portion of the Defense of Marriage Act. The court first noted that Baker, "is precedent binding on us unless repudiated by subsequent Supreme Court precedent." The court also acknowledged Lawrence and Romer, but pointed out that "neither mandates that the Constitution requires states to permit same-sex marriages." Finally, the court noted that Baker "limit[s] the arguments to ones that do not presume or rest on a constitutional right to same-sex marriage".[30]
United States District Court for the District of Hawaii (2012)[edit]
Senior District Judge Alan C. Kay included a lengthy discussion of Baker in his opinion upholding Hawaii's Defense of Marriage Act. Specifically, Kay rejected the contention that subsequent doctrinal developments since Baker undermined it to the point it was no longer binding precedent. He held that Baker bound the court on both the Due Process and Equal Protection claims asserted by the plaintiffs.[31]
United States v. Windsor, U.S. Court of Appeals, Second Circuit (2012); United States Supreme Court (2013)[edit]
Chief Judge Dennis Jacobs wrote for the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Windsor v. United States that Baker did not control his review of equal protection arguments against DOMA because "manifold changes to the Supreme Court's equal protection jurisprudence" had occurred in the intervening 40 years and because at issue in Baker was same-sex marriage within a state while Windsor was challenging a federal statute.[32] On June 26, 2013, the United States Supreme Court upheld the Second Circuit, although the majority opinion made no mention of Baker.[33]
Sevick v. Sandoval, United States District Court for the District of Nevada (2012)[edit]
Chief Judge Robert C. Jones held that Baker controlled the plaintiffs arguments with respect to their equal protection clause claims and so concluded that there was no constitutional case to be made for same-sex marriage rights. Jones went on to conduct a full analysis of the case, anticipating that an appellate court might disagree with his ruling on the relevance of Baker.[34]
Whitewood v. Corbett, United States District Court for the District of Pennsylvania (2013)[edit]
U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III on November 15, 2013, in accepting Whitewood v. Corbett, held that Baker did not require him to find that Pennsylvania's denial of marriage rights to same-sex couples is outside federal jurisdiction because "The jurisprudence of equal protection and substantive due process has undergone what can only be characterized as a sea change since 1972".[35]
Kitchen v. Herbert, United States District Court for the District of Utah (2013)[edit]
U.S. District Court Judge Robert J. Shelby on December 20, 2013, ruled in Kitchen v. Herbert that "a summary dismissal is not binding 'when doctrinal developments indicate otherwise'", citing Hicks v. Miranda (1975). He noted that the Supreme Court in 1996 recognized in Romer v. Evans "that the Constitution protects individuals from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation" and he held that the reasoning in United States v. Windsor is "highly relevant and is therefore a significant doctrinal development."[36]
Bishop v. Oklahoma, United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma (2014)[edit]
U.S. District Judge Terence C. Kern on January 14, 2014, ruled in Bishop v. Oklahoma that Baker was not binding precedent. His decision noted that "Baker presented the precise legal issues presented in this case" but found that the Supreme Court would no longer take the same view because "there have been significant doctrinal developments in Supreme Court jurisprudence since 1972 indicating that these issues would now present a substantial question".[37] The Court also noted that several justices commented in the Windsor decision as to how lower courts might interpret Windsor in a case challenging a state ban on same-sex marriage, implying that lower courts would rightly consider such cases in the light of Windsor, not Baker: "If Baker is binding, lower courts would have no reason to apply or distinguish Windsor, and all this judicial hand-wringing over how lower courts should apply Windsor would be superfluous."
Bostic v. Rainey, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (2014)[edit]
U.S. District Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen on February 13, 2014, wrote in Bostic v. Rainey that "summary dispositions [like Baker] may lose their precedential value ... 'when doctrinal developments indicate otherwise.'" She concluded that Baker was no longer binding, citing the Second Circuit's ruling in Windsor in 2012 and a recent ruling in the U.S. District Court for Utah in Kitchen v. Herbert in December 2013.[38]
De Leon v. Perry, United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (2014)[edit]
U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia found on February 26, 2014, in De Leon v. Perry that Baker was not controlling: "while state bans on same-sex marriage may have been deemed an 'unsubstantial' question in 1972, the issue is now a 'substantial' federal question based on doctrinal developments in Supreme Court law".[39]
Baskin v. Bogan and v. Wolf v. Walker, U.S. Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit (2014)[edit]
Judge Richard Posner, on behalf of a unanimous three-judge panel on September 4, 2014, wrote:[40]
Baker was decided in 1972—42 years ago and the dark ages so far as litigation over discrimination against homosexuals is concerned. Subsequent decisions such as Romer v. Evans, 517 U.S. 620, 634–36 (1996); Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558, 577– 79 (2003), and United States v. Windsor are distinguishable from the present two cases but make clear that Baker is no longer authoritative.
Baker in state courts[edit]
In state courts, the relevance of a precedent like Baker partly depends on what claims the litigants make. If the litigants claim protection of the U.S Constitution, a U.S. Supreme Court precedent may control the outcome of those claims. If the claims arise under state constitutional provisions, federal precedents need not control.[41] There are some state courts, however, that treat provisions of their constitution in the same way as the federal courts treat the analogous portion of the U.S. Constitution.[42] In these circumstances, precedents like Baker may control state constitutional analysis.[43]
In state courts, judges also come to somewhat differing conclusions as to Baker's reach.
Morrison v. Sandler, Indiana Court of Appeals (2005)[edit]
The Indiana Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal of a case brought by several same-sex couples who challenged Indiana's marriage statutes. On appeal, the couples claimed that the statutes violated several provisions of the Indiana Constitution, principally the Equal Privileges and Immunities Clause (Article 1 § 23). The majority opinion (Barnes, J.) concluded its description of Baker with:
- Thus, the Supreme Court, five years after it decided Loving, determined that that case did not support an argument by same-sex couples that precluding them from marrying violated the Fourteenth Amendment. In light of this precedent, the Plaintiffs have not made a Fourteenth Amendment argument in this case.[44]
Hernandez v. Robles, New York Court of Appeals (2004)[edit]
The New York Court of Appeals (the state's highest court) rejected claims by same-sex couples that the state's marriage laws were offensive to the state constitution's Due Process and Equal Protection clauses.[45] New York courts treat the state's Equal Protection Clause interchangeably with its federal counterpart.[46]
In Re Marriage of J.B. and H.B., Texas 5th Circuit Court of Appeal (2010)[edit]
In In Re Marriage of J.B. and H.B., 326 S.W.3d 654 (2010), the Texas 5th Circuit considered a challenge to Texas's Proposition 2. While the Court observed that "it reaffirm[ed] the states' preeminent role in the area of family law" and accorded "Baker appropriate weight in [its] analysis of the equal-protection issue", it expanded the instant case before it from Baker. The court observed that "the Baker appellants [had] argued that the Constitution compelled Minnesota to grant them a marriage license and [to] treat them as a married couple from then on", but that the appellee in this case had complained "Texas law relegates him to a declaration of voidness, when a party to an opposite-sex marriage in otherwise similar circumstances would be entitled to a divorce."
Benson v. Alverson, Hennepin County, Minnesota, District Court (2011)[edit]
In Benson v. Alverson, Judge Mary DuFresne rejected state constitutional challenges against Minnesota's marriage laws by three same-sex couples partly on the basis that Baker is binding precedent on state courts with respect to the due process and equal protection claims, stating that "[s]ame-sex marriage will not exist in this State unless and until the Minnesota Supreme Court overrules its own decision in Baker, or the State Legislature repeals the state DOMA." DuFresne also rejected the argument that Baker was dispositive on the religious freedom claim.[49][50] The Minnesota State Court of Appeals reversed her decision on January 24, 2012, finding she erred in using Baker to dismiss the case and allowing the case to go to trial.[51]
As of December 2012, the original plaintiffs in Baker v. Nelson, Jack Baker and Michael McConnell, were living as a couple in retirement in Minneapolis.[52]

Windows 7 Pro x64
Old Storage Drive prevents BOOT in new setup
Recently purchased new mob/cpu/ddr3 to upgrade my system. Found out that you can't just swap RAID drives into new motherboard, okay drag/delay. So I setup the new RAID0 drivers from my mobo and reinstalled Windows 7 pro x64.
After the successful install I turned of puter and plugged in my storage drive. What happened was nothing, never got past the initial boot. RAID0 drives detected and then freezes there...
Need fresh eye, storage drive does not have OS on it and is set to slave. In 10 years of building/tinkering with computers I always treated storage drives as plug and play-never had too many problems.
Any solutions?
|My System Specs
|20 Jan 2011
Win7 x 6 PC's
Not sure why you want RAID0 for new install of Windows 7 as you get no performance gain and it isn't even redundant since you'd lose everything with one HD. Better to install Windows 7 to one HD, backup image and files to other.
It sounds like the wrong drive is set to boot first or the BIOS doesn't allow mixed RAID/SATA/IDE modes - check the manual.
|My System Specs
|20 Jan 2011
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
You have the 1TB set to slave? Confuses me.
Nonetheless, I believe your solution is in BIOS, I did not lookup the guide.
Is your boot drive set to the RAID volume? I use a combo of onboard RAID and an add-in RAID card (multiple RAID volumes here). Anyway, my system will not boot if the INT13 is enabled.

The drama deals with the metamorphosis of a man who realizes he is a transsexual. He is a married father of two, and a practicing gynecologist who shares a medical practice with his father. The hope is to stretch the storyline over the course of several seasons. The first season would deal with the doctor's decision to switch sexes. The second season would see him actual making the transition. And the third season would revolve around the surgery. Any subsequent season would deal with his trials and tribulations of being a woman.
The show was created by Nip/Tuck's Ryan Murphy and his writing partner Brad Falchuk. Murphy will direct the pilot episode, which Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner are producing. This is Pitt's first foray into television.
The show is currently being cast.

Flying to Ireland for the Ryder Cup?
International handlers are recommending that corporate aircraft operators planning to attend this year's Ryder Cup golf tournament from September 22 to 26 in Ireland, or
with other travel plans in the same area finalize their schedule as soon as possible. "Aircraft parking slots and lodging in Dublin are extremely limited and are filling rapidly," said Brendan O'Grady of Universal Aviation in Ireland. O'Grady recommends Shannon as an alternative for better parking and hotel rates.

InformationWhat: 19th Annual AAPAE Conference
When: 28 June - 1 July, 2012
Where: St. John's College, The University of Queensland
Michael Walzer writes of it:
"…a liberal account of civil society would include all social groups that are or can be understood as voluntary and noncoercive, thus excepting only the family, whose members are not volunteers, and the state, which, even if its legitimacy rests on the consent of its members, wields coercive power over them. They are motivated by interest or conviction or by cultural or religious identity; they pursue wealth (in partnerships and companies), or power (in parties and movements), or salvation (in churches and gathered congregations); or they aim to advance some particular good (in interest groups or trade unions), or to deliver some general benefit (in philanthropies and foundations), or to ward off some general evil (in organizations for the prevention of this and that). Civil society makes room for all these aims and includes all the resulting associations, by virtue of their free and consensual character. This means that it reaches to politics and economics as well as to the multitude of social activities distinct from these two."
Civil society and its correlates present interesting opportunities for the student of applied ethics. Professions themselves are of course an aspect of civil society. As David Sciuli has written: "...'professions' are institutions and activities in society that serve an intermediary, governance role and thereby contribute to social order."
The Conference is planned as fully residential in order to provide maximum interaction between participants.
Located within the University of Queensland campus, St John's College provides both a beautiful and practical conference location. Close to transport and the CBD, and with the added convenience of on-site accommodation, we are certain the College will provide you with an enjoyable stay.
St John's College is situated in a garden setting. College rooms are of a higher standard than those usually found in such residences. Most of the rooms used by conference guests will have shared ensuite bathroom facilities. There is a licensed bar.
Participants for an earlier AAPAE Conference held at St John's College have been urging that a conference should be held there again.
Whilst other states will be in the midst of cold winters come conference time, Brisbane in June is blessed with mild temperatures and mostly clear skies. We will make the most of this weather with a boat cruise down the Brisbane River on board the famous Kookaburra Queen. The cruise offers passengers a unique and memorable view of Brisbane, whilst enjoying a delicious meal. The cost of the cruise is included in the full conference fee (drinks not included).

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - UW-Madison police sent ten drinkers to detox centers and cited 13 others for drinking underage, at bars and parties for the Badgers' Final Four basketball game.
Spokesman Marc Lovicott said it was worst weekend of the school year for alcohol issues, on a campus with a national reputation as one of the best party schools.
Seven of those taken to detox were UW students. Two were shipped off before the start of the Wisconsin-Kentucky game just after 8 p.m. Saturday.
A 21-year-old Madison student was found unconscious in a restroom at a campus cafeteria with a blood alcohol content of 0.37 -- which experts said was a near fatal level. It was about four-and-a-half times the minimum threshold for drunk drivers.
One person who was not connected with the UW was arrested for OWI. However, the crowds spilling onto Madison's State Street were subdued after the Badgers lost to Kentucky by one point in the game's final seconds.
