- " My best experience staying in HI in the U.S so far. The staff who comes to give us information about Boston every morning in the kitchen is really really nice, kind and caring. I'm sorry I forgot his name. However, his guide really helps travelers a lot explore Boston and get to know American history and culture. I like the activity idea, too. What's more, the food is good and the bathroom seems to be the biggest and cleanest one in all of the HI I've stayed in the states. "

- " I paid $60 for a 4-bed dorm. It was tiny, with bunk beds. Even the closets were so tiny that when I hung my shirts, they were bend half way and wrinkled. the heat in the room kept increasing at night, until it was like 28C. and the heating vent was above my face on my bunk bed. So it was like sleeping with a heater! it was blowing in my face! went downstairs to complain, their thermostat was acting up for no reason apparently. they fixed. it happened the next night too!!! impossible to sleep! "

- " They have lots of bathrooms on every floor with showers. We really enjoyed this hostel. Great place to stay! "
- 06 Nov 2014 Anonymous Canada
- " A really great hostel: clean, well organised and big enough to meet some interesting people. I would definitely stay here again, and would prioritise HI hostels in other places. The free breakfast included bagels! I mean come on, that would warrant a recommendation alone. The bathrooms were numerous and private and included a hair dryer. "

Synonyms: hsc, Hsc66, chaperone, member of Hsp70 protein family
HscA together with HscB comprises a chaperone/cochaperone system similar to DnaK/DnaJ [Vickery97, Silberg98]. HscA is required for the assembly of iron-sulfur clusters [Takahashi99, Tokumoto01]. Models for chaperone-facilitated Fe-S cluster transfer have been proposed. One model involves an exchange of Fe-S cluster ligands in the iron-sulfur cluster scaffold protein IscU upon chaperone binding that facilitates cluster transfer [Bonomi11]; another involves chaperone-mediated disordering of IscU that promotes the transfer of the Fe-S cluster to an acceptor protein [Kim12].
HscA consists of two domains, a nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) that binds and hydrolyzes ATP [Vickery97] and a substrate-binding domain that binds IscU [Silberg01]. The inter-domain linker peptide is able to stimulate the rate of ATP hydrolysis of the isolated NBD [Alderson14].
Under steady-state conditions, ATP hydrolysis rather than ADP/ATP nucleotide exchange is the rate-limiting step in the HscA reaction cycle [Silberg00]; the dissociation rates for ATP and ADP are comparatively fast [Brehmer01]. IscU is a substrate for HscA [Silberg01]; in the presence of HscB, IscU stimulates the ATPase activity of HscA up to 480-fold [Hoff00, Hoff03]. The in vivo turnover rate of the chaperone cycle may be determined by the availability of the IscU-HscB complex [Silberg04]. In the presence of HscA and HscB, conformational changes in the [2Fe-2S] cluster of IscU appear to be coupled to ATP hydrolysis by HscA [Bonomi08]. Interaction of HscA with IscU occurs via the LPPVK sequence motif in IscU, is highly directional [Hoff02, Hoff03, Tapley04], and occurs in both the ATP- and ADP-bound state, while interaction with HscB occurs primarily in the ATP-bound state [Silberg04, Kim14]. HscA alone or in the ADP-bound state preferentially binds to and stabilizes the dynamically disordered state of IscU. Binding of ATP leads to release of IscU [Kim12].
HscA interacts with the apo form of biotin synthase and improves the efficiency of the assembly of the [2Fe-2S] cluster on the enzyme, which is thought to provide the sulfur atom in the biotin synthase reaction. The HscA-BioB complex also binds IscU [Reyda09].
A crystal structure of the HscA substrate binding domain in complex with the IscU recognition peptide has been reported [CuppVickery04]. The sequence requirements for recognition of IscU by HscA have been explored by site-directed mutagenesis [Tapley06].
Expression of hscA is induced by cold shock, but not by heat shock [Lelivelt95]. An hscA mutant does not have a general protein folding defect, and overproduction of HscA does not complement a ΔdnaK52 mutant [Hesterkamp98]. An hscA mutant has increased doubling time in rich media and has lower activity of the Fe-S enzymes GltS and SDH than wild type [Tokumoto01].

Keith Olbermann's final final comment. {Plus, best of KO}
…at MSNBC. A sweet goodbye (particularly love the Thurber story):
"MSNBC and Keith Olbermann have ended their contract. The last broadcast of 'Countdown with Keith Olbermann' will be this evening. MSNBC thanks Keith for his integral role in MSNBC's success and we wish him well in his future endeavors."
What will happen next? Terms appear to be designed to keep him off rival channel for some time.

Sorry to see him go. After years of silence, Keith was a welcome answer to the small and pathetic rantings of the Faux News blowhards. His tweaking of Bill, and Bill's irritation and whining about it, was priceless.
The expression that best suits my feeling on Mr. Olbermanns exit is, "good riddance". I found his commentary to be nothing more than inflammatory rhetoric, overloaded with obvious inaccuracies. Mr. Olberman expressed his lack of character with poor judgment and it cost him his job…again I say "good riddance".

I seriously love how he turns a phrase. good luck. KO…

The ECHL's Colorado Eagles earned themselves another road trip tonight, and that's always a good thing in the playoffs.
Colorado scored three goals in the first 15 minutes -- two of them came on the power play -- and beat the Idaho Steelheads 7-4 in Loveland, Colo.
Idaho still leads the best-of-7 series, 3-2, heading into Friday's Game 6 in Boise.
Colorado later in tonight's game led 5-0 and 6-1, and Idaho cut its deficit to 6-4 with 9:22 to go, but could not inch closer.

Luis Alberto Spinetta (born January 23, 1950), is an Argentine musician. He is one of the most influential rock musicians of Latin America, and together with Charly García is considered the father of Argentine rock. His style had became a delicate amalgam of old and new; the old pop and (proto) heavy rock had merged with various elements of jazz and bossa nova. That unique flavour would become his style for decades.

Vocab Lesson: TxakolĂ
(Pronounced: cha-co-lee)
Featuring grapes grown on slopes in Spain's Basque Country, these fresh, slightly frizzante wines are low in alcohol, making them the perfect complement to a balmy day at the beach or a leisurely afternoon on the patio. "It's sort of the trifecta of refreshment," says Lauren Friel, the wine director at Oleana. "It's got tart, citrus-driven acidity, so it's snappy on your palate; it's light-bodied with a little spritz, so it's ridiculously easy to drink; and it's fresh and mineral, so the finish is clean and uplifting."
Lauren Friel's Txakolà Tasting Notes
Ameztoi Rosé
"The Ameztoi rosé is more or less ubiquitous in Boston. It's what everyone clamors for, and for good reason: It's delicious, with notes of candied watermelon, grapefruit pith, and chalk. It's no-frills quaffing."
$22, available at Central Bottle wine + provisions.
Txomin Etxaniz
"Of all the txakolà in the Boston market right now, it's definitely the most luscious and tropical. The acidity is still there, but it's rounder and more silky—not the zippy, tight mineral acidity of its brethren. You'll find notes of ripe peach, guava, and pineapple."
$27, available at Central Bottle wine + provisions.

This is your QuickBooks solutions guide. This guide was written for both business owners and accountants. Much more than the typical "how to" of software books, this book makes reviewing QuickBooks data easy and trouble-free. For the business owner, it is like having a personal consultant working alongside you. For the accounting professional, this book makes working with clients' QuickBooks files easier than ever before.
This book provides easy-to-follow directions for properly setting up QuickBooks, reviewing your setup, checking your data for accuracy, and, when needed, making the proper corrections.
QuickBooks Solutions Guide for Business Owners and Accountants offers a wealth of information gathered from the author's years of working with business and accounting professionals who use the QuickBooks financial software product. To find just the right information, this book is organized into specific chapters, each focused on a particular task or account category of your QuickBooks data.
Chapter 1, "Creating a New QuickBooks Data File," Chapter 2, "Reviewing the QuickBooks Chart of Accounts," and Chapter 3 "Reviewing and Correcting Item List Errors," cover the following topics while using screen captures to enhance your understanding of each topic:
After you have the basics set up, Chapter 4, "Easily Review Your QuickBooks Data," and Chapter 5, "Power Reports for Troubleshooting Beginning Balance Differences," show you where to begin and prepare you to quickly and confidently review QuickBooks data. These chapters help you answer the following questions:
The remaining chapters conveniently address each specific account category. The following individual chapters provide details on setting up and reviewing QuickBooks and, when needed, methods for correcting QuickBooks data:
The book would not be complete without the discussion of two more important topics, making this book your own QuickBooks Solutions Guide tool:
Finally, the book also looks at a revolutionary new detecting and correcting feature release with QuickBooks 2009:
The book is straightforward enough so that you can easily go to a specific chapter and find the needed information. It is worthwhile, however, to let you know how information is presented in this book.
QuickBooks 2009 offers a variety of methods to accomplish a task. To simplify the instructions given, use the top menu bar in QuickBooks.
For example, the instructions for preparing a report might look like the following:
This directive refers to clicking Reports on the menu bar, as shown in the previous figure, and then selecting Vendors & Payables as a submenu of Reports.
Additionally, for added clarity in the topic discussion, you can appreciate the frequent use of screen captures, which make following the instructions easy.
A few web pages are listed in this book, mostly directing you to the http://www.intuit.com website. These addresses were current as this book was written; however, websites can change.
As you read through this book, you'll note several special elements, presented in what we call "margin notes." Different types of margin notes are used for different types of information, as you see here.
Digging Deeper - This is a tip that might prove useful for whatever you're in the process of doing.

Knox County's TCAP scores grow
McIntyre calls results 'promising'
District-by-district TCAP scores released Monday by the state revealed that student performance continues to grow, especially in the subject area of math — with more than 115 districts showing improvement in math scores in third through eighth grade.
Among them was Knox County Schools, which saw 53.9 percent of its third- through eighth-graders scoring proficient or advanced in math this year, compared to 52.1 percent last year.
The school system also saw percentage increases of its number of students who were proficient or advanced in the subject areas of science and social studies scores, 67.3 percent and 86.2 percent, respectively.
But Knox County saw a small decrease the percentage of its third- through eighth-graders who were proficient or advanced in reading/language arts. Those scores went from 57 percent to last year to 56.8 percent this year.
The state will release school-by-school data at a later date.
"It's very positive and promising to see these kinds of results and it's really the result of a lot of hard work on the part of our teachers, obviously our students, parents and staff and community," said Schools Superintendent Jim McIntyre.
"I think when you look at where we've been the last several years ... we continue to see the progress that's being made as a result of our focus of high quality instruction in every classroom, every day."
Knox County Schools also met nine of the state's 11 annual measurable objectives established by a new accountability system after Tennessee was granted a waiver from No Child Left Behind; increased its third-grade reading/language arts proficiency scores by 2.3 percent; and saw gains in six of the seven subject areas of the End of Course exams.
McIntyre noted that while most of the results were positive, they do recognize there are some areas that need improvements, such as the school system's efforts to close achievement gaps.
"Part of what I think is important about the data that we received is that it's an excellent diagnostic tool," he said. "It's important to go back and look at where our strengths are and celebrate our successes, but also to look at what areas do we need to improve on."
Other highlights from Monday's release of data included:
Clinton City Schools saw a double-digit percentage increases in the number of students who were proficient or advanced in math in third through eighth grade, with 71.5 percent.
More than 50 districts saw double-digit gains in Algebra II End of Course tests, with some reporting growth of more than 40 percentage points.
While a majority of districts statewide closed the achievement gap among their black, Hispanic and American Indian students, there were still growing divides between students with disabilities and English language learners and their peers.

I am very interested in buying this book. Does anyone have this?
[Matthew:I edited out part of your request that is, in fact, illegal. Good luck in your search for the book. Dustin]
Actually, it doesn't. The only way money comes into play is if the copy you make deprives the copyright owner of income, or undermines a potential market.Originally posted by Larry Horowitz:
I see no mention of the issue of copying the item for profit or being charged for the copy.
I assume that would make a difference.
The original post's offer to pay for a photocopy of a specific trick in the book has been edited out. That reference is what has led to the subsequent discussion of copyright issues.Originally posted by Larry Horowitz:
I see no mention of the issue of copying the item for profit or being charged for the copy.
As a composer and teacher I am quite familiar with the fair use provision, which clearly applies to "teaching" and "research." These concepts have been court tested and do NOT apply willy nilly to any ol' thing you'd merely want to "learn." Are you saying, then, that you are writing an academic paper on Tamariz? If so, when and where will you be giving it? Many of us might be interested in that and would be more likely to help you with your "research."Originally posted by Steve Bryant:
No, ONE photocopy, for learning. It's the students who do the xeroxing, for educational purposes, in any field of study, including magic. Every public library has copying machines, and they are there for fair use copying. I know this is going to push the hot button of many out there. Magicians especially are so fond of secrets that they could turn red and pop over this. Me, I consider it both legal and ethical under the restrictions listed above.
Yes, but as you sit there at your computer screen, you don't "KNOW" the secrets in the Tamariz book, do you?Originally posted by Steve Bryant:
It's also of interest to point out that, if you are already in the library (including the Magic Castle library), and are holding the book in your hands, you already KNOW the secrets. Your fair use photocopying of a small portion just makes it easier for you to take some details home to study.

The Big Oby Oscar Robertson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
This is the story of perhaps the greatest all-around player in basketball history, told straight from his mouth.
The name Oscar Robertson nowadays gets mentioned in conjunction with one of basketball's seminal accomplishments: the triple-double season. The year was 1962. He was all of twenty-three. No player in basketball history had ever done this. No one has done it since--not Magic Johnson, not Larry Bird, not Michael or Kobe. Throughout the first five years of his career, he averaged a triple-double.
Videotape does not do him justice. The images are washed out, the colors faded and fuzzy in a manner associated with bygone eras, the fashions and style of play not aging well. And yet there is palpable greatness.
He was voted into the Basketball Hall of Fame on the first ballot, and the National Association of Basketball Coaches named him their player of the century. ESPN put him among their fifty greatest athletes of the century, the National Basketball Association on their list of the fifty greatest players. On and on. So many accolades that they run into one another.
But the story of Oscar Robertson is about much more than basketball. The story of Oscar Robertson is one of a shy black child growing up in a city so segregated that, until he is ten years old, his only exposure to white people is the distant memory of two Tennessee farm owners whose land his father had worked. It is the story of a poor family, and absent parents working long hours without complaint or reward.
The story of Oscar Robertson is also the story of the basketball-crazed state of Indiana and Crispus Attucks High School, the high school he led to the state championship. He joins the University of Cincinnati's basketball team and handles the ball on the perimeter in a way that has never been seen before.
Oscar Robertson enters the NBA with the Cincinnati Royals, who have been just barely holding on as they wait for the fledgling star. Robertson does not disappoint. Moving to the backcourt, he simply revolutionizes the game.
The story of Oscar Robertson is one of a superstar at the height of his career becoming the president of a union, the National Basketball Players Association, using his fame to try to improve conditions for all basketball players. It is the story of the man who sues the NBA for the right to free agency.
He is thirty-one years old when the Milwaukee Bucks trade for him. And so Oscar Robertson's story is also the story of a veteran player who joins young superstar Lew Alcindor (the future Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and leads Milwaukee to an NBA championship.
It is the story of a man who, at thirty-four years old, is forced to leave the game. Who is blacklisted from coaching and is forced out of broadcasting. Who must face questions not about whether he fought the good fight, but how he fought it.
Two years after he leaves basketball, after six years of legal wrangling, Robertson wins his lawsuit with the NBA. It is the story of a man who revolutionized the game of basketball twice: once on the court, and once in the way that the business of basketball is conducted. It is the story of how the NBA, as we now know it, was built. Of race in America in the second half of the twentieth century. Of a complex hero. An uncompromising man. It is Oscar Robertson's story.
"Every time I get on a basketball court, I'm chasing Oscar Robertson's legend. He set the standard for guys like me. I can only hope, when I'm done playing, that I've come close to what he's accomplished."--JASON KIDD
"Oscar Robertson is an incomparable superstar. He is also a thoughtful man and a man of vision. If you want insight into what formed Oscar in the crucial years of his youth, look here. It's a great book."--KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR
"Oscar was one of basketball's great leaders, and his life is one of basketball's great stories. He was unafraid, unabashed, and unmatched in everything he did. There will never be another like him."--BILL RUSSELL
"Oscar Robertson was never a rookie. He was the measuring stick for how a player should play. It is an honor to know him and to have competed against him. He is a man for the ages."--JERRY WEST
The greatest basketball player of his era speaks out about basketball on the court and off.

The app, Blimpie Run, is tied to a brand overhaul that seeks to further engage millennials.
Sub chain Blimpie has launched a mobile game app, Blimpie Run, for Android and iOS operating systems as part of a new mobile marketing strategy and a brand overhaul that it says includes new store designs and menu offerings to attract millennials.
The game launched on Android the week of September 9 and was approved and published on iOS on September 14.
As of September 20, the app had about 1,000 downloads, which Kahala director of marketing Steve Evans says is before any of the brand's weekend promotional efforts. Kahala is a franchising company with a portfolio of 15 quick-service brands including Blimpie.
Evans also notes the brand has seen a higher rate of downloads from Apple users.
"It's been out in the Android market for almost a full week more and a significantly higher portion [of downloads] are on the Apple market," he says.
In the game, Blimpie's mascot, Del E. Fresh, runs through U.S. cities to collect fresh ingredients on his way to the nearest Blimpie. Del E. Fresh has to outrun skunks, scorpions and other predators while avoiding unique obstacles in different cities, the brand says.
Del E. Fresh is an updated version of Blimpie's mascot, The Sub Man, who, Evans notes, was once featured in an episode of Sex and the City.
Each month, app users have a chance to win free subs for a year, as well as the opportunity to collect app-exclusive offers. They can also use Facebook and Twitter to share high scores or challenge friends.
Eventually the brand would like to layer in SMS texting and push notifications to send unique content to players, Evans says.
According to Blimpie, the app is just one part of a brand overhaul as the chain prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2014. The brand refresh includes new store designs and menus to appeal to younger customers with brighter colors, Americana wall murals and booth seating for a more comfortable atmosphere, the brand says. New menu boards also include more images, Evans adds.
In addition, the brand is migrating additional ad dollars to digital, where younger people are spending time, Evans says.
While Blimpie Run is Blimpie's first app, it is not the first Kahala app. The company rolled out an app for its Taco Time brand earlier this year.
With the app, Blimpie hopes to be more relevant to millennials. Blimpie's interactive team decided to hop on the free gaming app bandwagon about a year ago with an offering that would give Millennials an outlet to engage with the brand in a more fun way, Evans says.
Millennials are important because not only will they potentially be a large customer base for years to come, but they use quick service restaurants at a higher rate than older demographics, Evans says.
"Building a relationship in their formative years while they are making brand decisions that will take them through life [has the potential to] increase sales at much lower ad dollar spend," Evans says.
To push the app, Blimpie is targeting highly trafficked app review sites, as well as conducting an email marketing campaign and using promoted tweets, in-app advertising, pay-per-click campaigns, banner ads and possibly paid search, Evans says.
Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, Blimpie says it serves sandwiches prepared with quality ingredients, along with soups and salads. Founded in 1964, Blimpie has grown to nearly 1,000 franchised restaurants in the U.S. The brand became a part of Kahala in 2006.

Capitalism in the Dock
Debate Continues Over Effects of the Market
NEW YORK, FEB. 21, 2006 (Zenit) - After the collapse of communism and the adoption of free-market policies by just about all countries and political parties, market capitalism should be triumphant. But recent books highlight the shortcomings of the free markets.
In "The Battle for the Soul of Capitalism" (Yale University Press), John Bogle analyzes what he considers to be crucial failings in the financial markets. Bogle, former chief executive of the Vanguard mutual fund group, wants the system to be run in the interests of the shareholders and owners, rather than the managers.
Bogle argues that the last couple of decades have seen serious erosion in the conduct and values of business leaders, investment bankers and money managers. A staunch defender of capitalism and free markets, Bogle nevertheless laments the excessive attention given to stock market prices, instead of the intrinsic values of corporations.
Drawing on his own experience in the mutual fund sector, he looks at how this sector has contributed to current problems. These funds not only siphon off very large sums of money in the form of fees and their share of profits on stock market gains. They also serve to isolate managers from any form of control by stockholders, Bogle contends. Institutional investors in general, such as retirement funds and mutual funds, now own two-thirds of all U.S. equities. In fact, the largest 100 funds account for no less than 52% of equities.
Another factor adversely affecting financial markets, Bogle notes, is the concentration on short-term gains. A few decades ago mutual funds saw around 15% of their stocks turn over in a year. By the late 1990s this had risen to 100%, or more, as fund managers chased quick returns in the booming market. This trend from investment to short-term speculation in stocks means that funds are less likely to be interested in pressuring companies to improve their ethics or management.
As well, corporate directors, auditors, and legislators have all too often failed to ensure sufficient oversight of how companies are being run, leading to the scandals of recent years.
Values needed
"Capitalism requires a structure and value system that people believe in and can depend on," Bogle argues. This includes trust in the word of others, and an assurance that the system will function with equity. And for a long time this worked; capitalism delivered remarkable economic benefits.
By the late 20th century the system changed and turned into a form of "manager's capitalism." In extreme cases, it saw companies being run to benefit the managers, not the owners or shareholders. Proof of that is the soaring level of remuneration given to company executives in recent years, a trend Bogle strongly criticizes.
Shareholders have benefited too, Bogle acknowledges. Even counting the "bubble burst" in 2000, the U.S. stock market rose an average annual rate of 13% from 1982 to early 2005. (He adds, however, that a large proportion of shares that were sold before the bubble burst were those held by corporate executives.)
Bogle proposes a variety of reforms to overcome the deficiencies he outlines: performance-based compensation for executives; better corporate governance; improving accounting standards; a return to a long-term focus; and a clearer separation of ownership from management.
Another book that has drawn attention to how financial markets are causing serious problems is "Capitalism's Achilles Heel" (John Wiley & Sons). Written by Raymond Baker, ex-businessman and current guest scholar at the Washington, D.C.-based Brookings Institution, the book draws attention to problems such as bribery, money laundering, tax evasion and income inequality.
Baker is, he stresses, in favor of capitalism. But he worries that too many people today cater to its weaknesses rather than build on its strengths. He is particularly concerned that the defects he outlines are contributing to the enormous gap between rich and poor, which, in turn, is undermining the future prospects for prosperity.
Ethical market
The market also has many positive aspects. One of its defenders is John Meadowcroft, deputy director of the London-based Institute of Economic Affairs and author of the book "The Ethics of the Market" (Palgrave).
He argues that the market is an important school for virtue, and that participation in a market economy strengthens rather than weakens institutions such as the family. The market does not impose a specific set of values. The market mechanisms as such, Meadowcroft observes, can be used just as easily by selfless altruists as by selfish hedonists.
The market system does allow individuals to make choices that are morally questionable, he notes. Yet he argues that it would be a ...

ANTITRUST IN EMERGING AND DEVELOPING COUNTRIES featuring China, India, Mexico, Brazil, South Africa ...
NYU School of Law and Concurrences Competition Law Journal Conference
Friday, October 24, 2014
40 Washington Square South, Greenberg Lounge
Abstract: Rapidly emerging economies such as China, India, Mexico, Brazil and South Africa are taking center stage in antitrust enforcement. Multinational firms must have regard to the competition systems of these and other developing nations when engaging in merger activity, collaborating with competitors, and pricing, distributing, and licensing their products. Competition authorities in countries at different stages of development are trying to meet the daunting challenges posed by public and private power, cronyism and privilege, and are trying to make their markets work for the good of their peoples. This program will address the coming of age of developing countries' competition law systems, and what this means in law, policy and on-the-ground reality for entrepreneurs, consumers, "the people," and the world.

Have any good suggestions?
Don't know what kind of airplane it is and maybe it's not an issue (not an airplane expert) but are you sure that the wireless is not gonna interfere with airplane's systems? Or are you just gonna risk it?
I would think a large part of the driving factor will be data rate and data format.How much data is involved, how fast does it need to be sent,and what form is it in?i.e. are we talking about something simple like low speed serial data or is it a live video feed?For simple low speed data,These guys also have several "duino" wireless boards /modules & sensors:http://www.anarduino.com/And then there always blue-tooth.--- bill
It's hard to beat the unlicensed 315/433MHz modules for cost, the ones with the SAW TX and regenerative RX. They're often ~$2/ea from Asian exporters/eBay. 5 feet is no problem, in fact at that range you could probably push the speed up from the usual 1kbps up closer to 9kbps.

California Governor Jerry Brown has urged the Scottish government to keep its nerve and legalize marriage equality, saying California is a prime example of how quickly attitudes can evolve on the gay marriage question.
Democrat Mr Brown said politicians in Scotland would benefit from looking at the Californian experience.
He explained: "There was certainly opposition to same-sex marriage a decade ago, but very regularly this opposition has declined. So, I would say today maybe there is even a slight majority in favour of same-sex marriage."
Mr Brown – who last year signed a bill making California the first US state to add lessons about gays and lesbians to social studies classes in public schools – refused to defend Prop 8 when he was the state's top law officer.
He added: "Our job is not to give brilliant speeches only, but it is also to lead the people and to get them to follow and so that is a matter where, each leader in each community, has to make their own decision."
The Scottish SNP Government is set to announce within the next fortnight whether it will indeed legalize marriage equality.
This comes after a 14-week public consultation that, by the time it closed in December 2011, had more than 60,000 responses. Though the SNP made it known that it favors marriage equality, it said the consultation would be used to gauge support for the measure and also to give those, particularly the nation's religious conservatives, a chance to make their opposition known so that concerns could be listened to and, if possible, worked through.
Currently, Scottish law follows that of the wider UK in giving same-sex couples civil partnerships–these are technically legally equivalent but, marriage equality advocates argue, are a status without the cultural significance of marriage.
As is the case with England's plans to legalize marriage equality, the Scottish government has promised that it will not force churches to conduct same-sex marriages. It remains to be seen whether the Scottish government will depart from the English playbook and allow churches, at their discretion, to perform such unions.
California of course currently has a ban on marriage equality under the now twice struck down, voter-enacted constitutional amendment known as Proposition 8. The amendment, which the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled earlier this year was motivated by bias and for no other reason than to disenfranchise California's gay and lesbian citizens, remains in force however until the Supreme Court either takes up the case and sides with the lower courts, or refuses to hear the case and lets the sitting judgement stand.

Brown is not a great governor. Though I guess compared to Walker and Scott, he's awesome. California has a massive GLBT population, and if Brown didn't support us, he wouldn't be in office! I'm often thankful to be a Californian. Regardless of Hollywood.
Good for you Jerry. Marriage equality is on the move one small step at a time but we are getting there. Thanks Steve for the article.
Kudos to Brown!
Yep, one country at a time.
It is too bad that we are asking this of the Scottish government, when we can't do it in ours.
I will be so glad when prop. 8 is dead once and for all.
Go, Scotland - listen to Gov. Brown !
