Cuadrado to Barca, Remy stays put
It's been a wild one today with Tony Pulis leaving Crystal Palace, the Suarez ban appeal ruling coming down and Antonio Conte being named Italy's new national team manager. But don't trifle us with "other" football news; all we care about is Transfer Talk!
TOP PICK - Fiorentina have left Juan Cuadrado out of their pre-season squad to face Real Madrid leading to speculation the Colombian is closer than ever to a move to Barcelona. However reports in Spain claim Barca have given up on the Colombian and are after Sao Paulo right back Douglas instead.
- Atletico Madrid have made a 27 million euro offer for Marco Reus and expect a deal to be completed quickly. Cadena Cope report Borussia Dortmund are only open to selling so that they don't lose the German forward to Bayern Munich next season.
- Real Madrid are said to be keeping tabs on Liverpool starlet Raheem Sterling who is set to be offered a quadruple-your-wages deal at Anfield to keep him from Carlo Ancelotti's grasp.
- Perennial misfit Nicklas Bendtner has signed for Wolfsburg despite the club claiming they are worried at the fact a player like him was available on a free transfer.

22.59 BST: Right folks, that's all for this week but a new Premier League season is sure to bring rumours galore. Brace yourselves!
22.31 BST: Joe Hart and Edin Dzeko are the latest Manchester City players in line for new contracts, but Yaya Toure may be made to wait for new terms. READ MORE
21.57 BST: Victor Moses will have a medical at Stoke City on Saturday morning ahead of a season-long loan from Chelsea, according to the Telegraph.
21.14 BST: Fun fact about Robert Earnshaw -- he's the only player to score a hat trick in all four divisions of English football, the FA Cup, the League Cup and at international level. Do you feel enriched?
21.11 BST: Colorado Rapids have signed veteran Welsh striker Robert Earnshaw, with coach Frank Yallop commenting: "Robert is a veteran player with a wealth of international experience. He's a gifted, natural goal-scorer who is already familiar with the league, and we're glad to have him join the Fire as we continue the second half of the MLS campaign."

20.25 BST: Let Lucas Leave! He's a bit injury prone and has struggled to maintain a place in Brendan Rodgers' plans at Anfield, but Lucas Leiva still has a lot to offer in defensive midfield. Now, according to the Daily Star, he's angling for a move to join former boss Rafa Benitez as his new side, Napoli.
With the Serie A side trying and failing to land several other players in that position, notably Spurs' Sandro and Villarreal's Jonathan de Guzman, perhaps the 27-year-old Brazilian can fulfill their need.
20.24 BST: Hands off Derby County winger Jamie Ward, who's just signed a new two-year deal to remain with Steve McClaren's side as they aim again at promotion to the Premier League. Ward has scored 28 goals in 122 appearances for the Rams.
20.22 BST: Big news out of the Isthmian League Premier Division as Billericay Town announced the signing of Seedy Njie from Southend United. The young forward could get his Blues debut this weekend against Lewes FC.
20.08 BST: How about some Sebastian Coates news? Yes? Okay then!
The tall, average Uruguayan defender hasn't really found his feet at Liverpool and as a result, he might be dangled Sampdoria's way in a rare swap deal sending Argentina keeper Sergio Romero
19.42 BST: Here's one of the more curious whispers of the window. The Leicester Mercury has been on the Esteban Cambiasso beat for quite some time and the latest development, apparently, is that the Argentina and Internazionale midfielder has completed a medical for the Foxes, leaving the full move a formality. As always, though, we won't believe it until the player's holding up the shirt.
19.00 BST: Let's catch our breath for a moment. Burnley are looking to improve themselves with the Prem season just hours away, and their current target is reportedly Wigan's can-do, do-all midfielder James McArthur.
Though that doesn't mean Wigan boss Uwe Rosler is willing to ease their transition to the top flight...
Uwe Rosler confirms Wigan have turned down approach from Burnley for midfield star James McArthur.

Keep trying, lads.
18.09 BST: Auf Widersehen, Per. Not a transfer as such this but Per Mertesacker has taken leave of his duties with the Germany national team. After 104 caps and a World Cup winner's medal, Mertesacker has opted to hang up his international boots.
17.42 BST: Paul Lambert has hailed the signing of 'The Rock' Carlos Sanchez as "a great coup for Villa" after the Colombia World Cup star completed his move from Spanish side Elche.
17.18 BST: The transfer boys at Southampton don't know whether they'll be playing this weekend! Apparently Ronald Koeman has not decided whether to start new signing Shane Long or want-away midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin.
17.11 BST: New Watford signing Lloyd Dyer has told the Watford Observer why he rejected the chance to play in the Premier League with Leicester City. Apparently the Midlands club 'went back on their word' about things behind the scenes and so Dyer jumped ship. Add that to the fact he wanted to play with Matej Vydra, and the whole thing makes some sense.
17.06 BST: Legendary Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is hoping a new contract can be sorted out between his representatives and Juventus. The 36-year-old stopper's contract runs out this time next summer and hopes he can extend his stay with the Bianconeri past the 14 years he has already been there. He told reporters: "I have already had 14 seasons at Juve. So it would be doubly nice to continue to move forward together, truly if the club will agree. Between us we have created such a relationship of mutual trust that no problems will come from it. The problems, if any, will arise when I no longer reach a certain level of performance."
Lets be honest, it would be weird to see him in any other club's shirt!
17.01 BST: Nice to see Crystal Palace's new signing hasn't taken Tony Pulis' decision to leave as personal...
New @CPFC defender Martin Kelly, signed by Pulis on Thursday, joked this morning, 'I didn't think I trained that bad yesterday!"

16.47 BST: Stoke City boss Mark Hughes has told reporters he will not overspend on targets Oussama Assaidi from Liverpool or Nathan Redmond from Norwich City. The Welsh manager wants to complete his squad with a pacey winger but said: ""If we hit the maximum we think any player is worth, that's as far as we go. We are still hopeful on a number of fronts, we just have to bide our time."
16.40 BST: Mircea Lucescu has advised Douglas Costa to ignore interest from the likes of AC Milan to stay with Shakhtar Donetsk for 'at another year'. In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, the Romanian coach said: "Take another year of the Champions League with us and you will be perfect." He also claimed Costa was better than James Rodriguez. Looks like Real Madrid shelled out a lot of money for a dud!.. if you believe everything you're told.
16.33 BST: If by the start of next week Manchester United have not made a firm offer of at least 50 million euros plus Arturo Vidal himself putting in a transfer request, then Juventus will close the door on a sale this summer. When asked by a fan where his future lies, Vidal responded: "Training."
16.26 BST: And this one!

16.17 BST: Liverpool could launch an attack to sign Alex Song from Barcelona. The Daily Star claim Barca are extremely willing to sell and will accept bids in the region of 15 million pounds. However interest has waned at such a high price for a player who has barely featured for two years at the Nou Camp.
16.10 BST: In a bizarre set of circumstances, Atletico Madrid have apparently offered to send Jan Oblak back to Benfica. Diego Simeone only just signed the Slovenian this summer but was apparently willing to sell him back to Benfica chairman Luis Filipe Vieira who told reporters: "It was a surprise that Oblak fled again but life takes many turns and we have been offered the player back. We don't want him! He's escaped twice."
16.00 BST: Arsenal could sell Lukas Podolski according to reports. The German World Cup winner has been attracting the interest of several Bundesliga clubs as well as Galatasaray and Besiktas with Arsene Wenger keen to recoup as much of the 11 million pounds they bought him for.
15.55 BST: Steve Bruce is set to spend spend spend as he enjoys the 12 million pounds received from Southampton for Shane Long. Speaking at a press conference he said: "We got what, in our opinion, was a fabulous offer. We will invest that money into the squad to make it bigger and better, and we'll be looking to find a replacement." So do not fret too much Hull fans!
15.48 BST: Crystal Palace caretaker boss Keith Millen has said the club's move to sign Wilfried Zaha was not central to Tony Pulis stepping down, as has been reported. Speaking at a press conference today, Millen claimed the club had been looking at Zaha all summer as he 'ticked plenty of boxes.'
15.39 BST: Hellas Verona and Udinese are in a pickle trying to sign Lucas Evangelista from Sao Paulo. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Brazilian is owned by both Sao Paulo and Desportivo Brasil. Sao Paulo loaned him to Desportivo in June last year and handed over most but not all of his economic rights. However, now the player wants to leave for Italy, Desportivo are refusing to sell even though Sao Paulo can sell their share in the player. However in order for a deal to go through the Italian clubs want to buy 100% of the player.
There are agents talking saying Desportivo's rights aren't valid etc etc etc. It's much like the Marcos Rojo situation at Sporting Lisbon but even more complicated.
15.32 BST: And that should put to bed any remaining rumours about Dani Alves' future!
The agent of Barcelona right back Dani Alves (31) has confirmed that the player will continue at Barcelona this season. [tmw]

14.21 BST: Fiorentina left Juan Cuadrado at home for the friendly against Real Madrid for tactical reasons. And now Los Blancos have left Isco at home for 'personal reasons.' Hate to be a cynic but could those personal reasons possibly be that he is heading out of the club this summer?
14.16 BST: Jose Mourinho is sure he will be able to keep both Thibault Courtois and Petr Cech happy at Stamford Bridge this season. The Express are reporting that the Portuguese mastermind is sue both will remain at the club for at least the next year.

14.10 BST: Spurs have been aided in their search for a new striker by Wolfsburg's purchase of Nicklas Bendtner. The Express claim the German club will now not follow up their interest in Roma striker Mattia Destro meaning Spurs have a clear run at landing the 24 million pound man.
14.04 BST: Swansea City have been laughed at. Literally. Montpellier manager Rolland Courbis has said the Welsh club's offer for Benjamin Stambouli was 'laughable' and then went off on a tirade of abuse about the Welsh club. He said: "Swansea to me is not a big club, but it's a good club. Montpellier is a great club, but it's a good club. It's like you have a country that has an international player and Montpellier are interested in a player there, you have the coach or player who say 'well, it's not that it's Ajaccio, Evian Thonon or Valenciennes asking you but this is not Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille and Monaco either, it's Montpellier! So for me, Newcastle is the Montpellier of England. And Swansea, I do not know if it's even the Montpellier of England? Already, it is not in England, it is in Wales. Because when (Swansea's interest) came to my ears, I almost laughed and took a nervous giggle. There's even that sum? Wales ... this financial monstrosity ... and a 8-year contract, too?!"

In an ideal world you'd look for somebody else who could play up there but at the moment we're not close to doing anything else. They're both players (Fer and De Guzman) we've made enquiries about. At the moment though I don't know where those enquires have gone."

According to the Brighton Argus, Stephen Ward was supposed to show up at the Amex Stadium yesterday to sign a contract with Brighton and Hove Albion but instead went AWOL.

With potential investors Puma backing Borussia Dortmund it could see the sportswear giants pay part of Reus' wages, who is also one of their biggest ambassadors. Watzke told Sky: "Marco Reus knows that we want to extend his contract. We try to convince him with the package of his hometown, his emotions for BVB and a decent financial offer."

08.38 BST: Kicker links Werder Bremen to Costa Rica international Bryan Ruiz, but admits that it will be difficult for the Bundesliga side to agree a deal with Felix Magath's Fulham, who are looking at some six million euros at least. Ruiz and Magath are not best friends, which could make it easier for Bremen, kicker claims, but says that right now the only chance to get the 28-year-old's signature is a loan deal during the final days of the transfer period. Local paper Kreiszeitung mentions another option -- Eljero Elia could be sold after all to generate money for a permanent deal for Ruiz.
Barca seeks Cuad reinforcement
Fiorentina are playing Real Madrid in Warsaw, Poland, on Saturday because, well, they can. And there is a high-profile absentee from their travelling party, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport. It's none other than Juan Cuadrado, with the official line being that a suspension he must serve on the opening day of the Serie A season means his club doesn't need him for this preparatory fixture.
But the newspaper says that "behind this exclusion it seems there is a hand of Barca," with Barcelona having been linked with the Colombian wide man for longer than we can care to remember. It suggests the La Liga giants had given the impression of turning their attentions elsewhere in a bid to persuade Fiorentina to reduce their asking price of 50 million euros but that, in fact, their interest is still very much alive and they have already agreed terms with the player and his agent. It could just be this one is wrapped up before too long -- but, then again, it has been one of the summer's longer running tales.
More pounds for Sterling
Maybe Real Madrid simply need to be seen to be in for any player who's hot stuff these days, or maybe they genuinely do want to snap them all up and then take their ball home. Liverpool aren't planning to find out with regard to Raheem Sterling. The Mirror reports that Carlo Ancelotti & Co. are keeping tabs on the young forward, but that the carrot of a new contract -- that would quadruple his wages -- will be deployed in order to keep him sweet at Anfield.
Remy still a Ranger
Spoilsports that they are, the Mirror have also put the kibosh on another big-name deal -- although this time, to be fair, it is the player's manager doing most of the talking. It seemed for most of the summer that Loic Remy would be long gone from Queens Park Rangers by now, but Harry Redknapp insists that the Frenchman is happy to rebuild his bridges at Loftus Road and would entertain leaving only for a Champions League club. A far cry from the halcyon days of that medical at Anfield when a move to Liverpool seemed all but done. But Remy staying would be a big boost for the West London side if he proves to be as good as his word.
Pulis check
Most of Friday's back pages lead on Tony Pulis' surprise departure from Crystal Palace, but there's a job for us here, too, because that exit came about largely due to -- yes -- failed transfers. We're hearing that Pulis was at loggerheads with chairman Steve Parish about a mooted return for ex-Palace winger Wilfred Zaha, and that several deals he had sought to seal had not been pushed through to his satisfaction. All of this allows us to tangentially wonder, too, where on earth Zaha might pitch up next ...

A club for Bendtner!
Crazy, huh? Ex-Arsenal forward Nicklas Bendtner seems to have found a home at last after months of to-ing, fro-ing and reportedly turning down a raft of offers. Wolfsburg have reportedly agreed a deal for the Danish international -- who really needs to start playing some football now in order to go some way toward fulfilling his potential. Presumably, the Bundesliga club was swayed by the Owen Hargreaves-esque fitness videos. Anyway, the Mail has more on this one.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT closed out its 2012 campaign with a split against non-conference opponent Salve Regina University on Thursday afternoon at Briggs Field. The Engineers received seven solid innings from freshman Ellie Fodor (Trenton, Mich.) and three RBI by freshman Sarah Van Belleghem (Los Gatos, Calif.) in game two, to win 3-0 and finish up at 12-21 overall. Salve Regina won the opener 6-2 and now stands at 22-14 on the year.
Salve Regina won game one on the strength of Jen Cruver's (North Haven, Conn.) pitching performance. Cruver tossed five innings of five-hit ball, allowing just one unearned run to pick up her 21st win of the season. The Seahawks also received a pair of RBI's from Marissa Simpson (Brimfield, Mass.), who was 3-for-4 in the opener. Junior Anna Christensen (Vernon Hills, Ill.) and Van Belleghem each went 2-for-3 for Tech. Van Belleghem was also solid on the mound, pitching the final five innings, while allowing just one run on five hits, in just her second appearance of the season.
Salve opened the scoring in the first, as Laura Anne Dinan (Monterey, Mass.) led off with a walk and scored on Ali Muehlbronner's (Glenside, Pa.) groundout.
The visitors then broke the game open in the second, scoring four runs on two hits in the frame to take a 5-0 lead. Simpson delivered the big hit, with a two-run single to score Cruver and Kristen Parolise (Hamden, Conn.).
Tech got on the board in the fourth, as junior Emily Creedon (Stoneham, Mass.) came home on senior Jessica Iacobucci's (Phoenixville, Pa.) RBI-single. Christensen plated another run in the sixth, with a base hit to score senior Katie Harrington (Lexington, Ky.).
That would be all the runs the Cardinal and Gray would get, however, as Simpson came on to pitch the final two innings and nail down the win.
The Engineers struck first in game two, as Iacobucci reached on an error and scored on Van Belleghem's two-out, infield single. They added two more unearned runs in the third, with Van Belleghem again coming through with runners in scoring position. Harrington reached base on an error and senior Nydia Ruleman (Germantown, Tenn.) walked before both moved up on Iacobucci's sacrifice, setting the stage for Van Belleghem's two-run single up the middle.
Fodor set down the first 10 Salve Regina batters in order before allowing a one-out single in the fourth. She would work around that however, getting a flyout and a groundout to end the frame.
The Seahawks threated in the sixth, as Dinan reached on a one-out single, stole second and moved up to third on a groundout. But Fodor would strand her on the base-paths, striking out Simpson to retire the side. Fodor then set down the side in order in the seventh to earn her seventh win on the season.
Fodor struck out six while giving up just two hits in the complete game shutout, her third shutout of the year. Cruver (21-14) earned the loss, allowing just three unearned runs on five hits.

Every good bottle shop has its own draw, a unique appeal that settles in like a thin layer of dust on that rare, cellared vintage.
Every good bottle shop has its own draw, a unique appeal that settles in like a thin layer of dust on that rare, cellared vintage.
A friendly salesman who remembers your love of stouts. A choice selection, with a few oddities always in stock. An owner who'll order anything you request.
Barley Hopsters, a carryout that opened in Delaware about 10 months ago, already has a bit of that seasoned charm.
"I like to form a relationship with people, build that point of trust," operating partner Bill Denen said. "We're just doing what we love."
As he wanders through the store, a vintage space on North Sandusky Street with tin ceilings and wooden accents, his love of things brewed and bottled is clear.
He points out new additions like the Portsmouth Pilsner, which he stocked only a few weeks after its initial release. He shows off a map of Ohio alcohol operations and a downstairs meeting room that can host special events.
In the spacious main room, usual suspects and quirky newcomers are stored in coolers and on shelves. Labels from Dogfish Head, Bell's and Goose Island wait next to those from Stillwater, Two Brothers and Uncommon. The beer total tops 400, and the wine list includes more than 100.
The store offers every beer in stock as singles, making for endless mix-a-six possibilities. The beer selection is priced by the bottle and organized by type, assets for snob and newbie alike.
Barley Hopsters is a great place to wander slowly, investigate new drinks and get to know the staff.
"It's an M.O. of ours to keep getting new stuff," Denen said. "We try to drink whatever comes through the door."

I know a lot of folks here talk about writing specifically with an angle towards publishing / earning a living from writing, but I wonder how many people here write purely for the pleasure of writing? - And in particular, I wondered how many people have considered writing memoirs or pieces on their own family history purely for their family's interest?
Researching ancestors lives seems to be a big hobby these days. Here in the UK Public Records Offices seem to be full of people trying to trace their father's and grandfather's wartime service records, or census returns as to where great-grandparent's lived or when they got married, etc. And there are plenty of ancestry research websites that are doing a thriving business on-line.
I wondered how many people had considered writing about their own lives for their descendents? What might seem ordinary and everyday to us now might well be of great interest to our children, grand-children, or great-grand-children, etc.
Is anyone here doing this?

Ezo Gelin Corbasi (Bride Ezo's Soup) is a delightful and filling Turkish style Red Lentil and Bulgur soup.A net search will give several results on this but I found this delightful soup and also the history behind it in 'A Mediterranean Cooking in Alaska' -or Laurie's blog.Refer the recipe here.
I loved the story of Ezo and am retelling it here.The soup is supposed to have been created by a beautiful girl called Ezo for her mother-in-law with whom she had a difficult relationship.
Born in Anatolia,Turkey Ezo was famed for her beauty.She was married off to a person who was in love with another woman and after suffereing for an year in a loveless marriage she returned home.After few years,she was married off to a distant cousin who lived in Syria or rather Syria-Tibet border.Her marriage worked this time,but she had difficult relationship with her mom-in-law.Added to which were her yearning for her native village.It is said that Ezo created this soup to pacify her mother-in law.
Finally when Ezo died she was first buried in Syria but later after some agreement-disagreement or negotiations between Syria and Turkey she was reburied in her native village.Her story became an legend and has been made into film as well.
The soup which is made of red lentil and bulgur is quick and easy to make and hearty and filling as any lentil soup.It is said that every bride in Turkey will be given this soup on the eve of marriage -may be for a smooth relationship with mom-in-law.!
RedLentil (Masoor Dal): 1/2 cup
Bulgur: 1/4 cup
Olive Oil: 1 tbsp
Onion: 1 small finely chopped
Garlic: 1-2 cloves minced/crushed
Aleppo Pepper or Hot Paprika: 1-2 tsp
Tomato Paste: 1 tbsp
Veg Stock: 3 cup +
Mint Oil Topping:
Olive Oil
Dried Mint
Aleppo Pepper/Paprika (optional)
Pick,wash,clean and drain the lentils.
Heat olive oil in a deep pan/kadai.Saute onion adding little salt and pepper till it becomes brown.Add minced garlic,tomato paste and Aleppo pepper/paprika.Saute for 2 minutes till oil separates.I added a mix of chilli powder and paprika.
Add stock,bulgur and red lentil and mix well and bring to a boil.Reduce to a simmer and cover and cook for 15-20 minutes till the lentils get cooked.
Puree in a blender for a smooth and creamy soup.This is optional but I did.If the soup is too thick,add more stock/water.Adjust salt and pepper and serve garnished with mint oil.Mint Oil:
Warm little olive oil in a pan.Remove from heat and stir in dried mint and optional paprika.Drizzle on top of the soup.
FYI: If you do not have dried mint,then take few fresh mint.Clean the leaves and pat dry on paper towels for atleast 1 hour.Microwave at full power for 1-3 minutes keeping them sandwiched between two paper towels and also reversing the sides during half time.The leaves should become dry and crumbly-when touched the dried mint leaves should crumble into pieces.Check after 1 minute or so as you should not burn the leaves.Refer here for more details.The oil garnish is optional but adds a different taste.I liked it but preferred the soup as itself.Well,I am assuming here that Ezo's mother-in law liked it too.The soup on pureeing turned out to be very very thick and I had to add more water/stock to it.
The hearty Bride Soup with bulgur is on way to NoCroutonsRequired:Grains hosted this time by Lisa.
The soup being made of legumes is also going to MLLA-13 ,started by Susan and hosted by sunny SunshineMom

Button up skirt
Added Apr 3, 2012
by lulubrooks
Firenze, Italy
So, my doctor said "No more pants for you, girl. You'll have to wear skirts" and i panicked because it's not winter but it's not summer yet, and all the skirts I have are part of summer dresses.
I rushed to find a simple but effective skirt pattern and I found the lovely Helena Skirt.
After wondering a bit if the fabric I had would be suitable for a skirt (I didn't want to end up with one of those huge circles right on my bottom), I decided it was ok.
For some reason I chose not to make automatic buttonholes, because I was not sure of the result.
I then opted for handmade ones, which turned out really naif :D (they are covered by the buttons, anyway)
(sorry for the wrinkled fabric)

great skirt! I have more medical problems with skirts than with pants, because when wearing skirts I usually also have to wear tights… and than the skin can´t breath too well.

What a difference a year can make. When the Supreme Court on June 26, 2013, struck down the key section of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which barred giving federal marriage-related benefits to same-sex couples, the action correctly was seen as a huge victory for homosexual interests. But few people imagined that things would move as swiftly in the direction of same-sex marriage as they have.
As of June 10, supporters of legalized gay marriage have scored 15 victories in lower courts in the past year. While a number of these cases are being appealed, 19 states plus Washington, D.C., now allow same-sex marriage, compared with 13 at the time of the Supreme Court decision last June. It seems likely that one or more of the current cases will reach the Supreme Court in its next term.
In overturning DOMA, the court divided 5-4, with the four liberal justices plus Justice Anthony Kennedy making up the majority. In a separate case decided at the same time, a different five-justice majority declined to consider a lower court ruling overturning a ban on same-sex marriage in California. The justices didn't rule on the merits but said they couldn't decide the case because state officials refused to defend the ban and its supporters lacked legal standing to do so.
In his majority opinion in the DOMA case, Kennedy stressed that the ruling applied only to same-sex unions from states that recognize them as marriages. Thus the situation in states that do not recognize gay marriage was left untouched, he said.
But Justice Antonin Scalia in a scathing dissent said Kennedy's reasoning could apply just as well to state bans on same-sex marriage as to DOMA itself.
In what defenders of traditional marriage took to be a particularly offensive passage, Kennedy asserted that the "purpose and effect" of the federal law was to "disparage and injure" gay and lesbian married couples. To that Scalia replied: "By formally declaring anyone opposed to same-sex marriage an enemy of human decency, the majority arms well every challenger to a state law restricting marriage to its traditional definition."
Although DOMA was enacted by Congress in 1996 and signed into law by President Bill Clinton, the Obama administration refused to defend the law when it came before the Supreme Court. And last February, speaking for the administration, Attorney General Eric Holder announced a policy of "full and equal recognition" for same-sex marriage. Presumably, then, it will take the gay marriage side next time the issue comes before the court.
In decisions last year, other judges in lower federal courts have echoed Kennedy's critique of laws upholding the unique status of man-woman marriage. One theme commonly heard has been that there is no rational basis for limiting marriage to heterosexual couples.
Defenders of traditional marriage say this is clearly not so. The case for the uniqueness of man-woman marriage rests on its grounding in two linked values necessarily absent from same-sex unions — male-female complementarity and openness to the begetting and raising of children by two parents of different sexes. From this perspective, recognizing same-sex unions as marriages undermines authentic marriage by muddying the waters on what marriage really means.
Another issue of growing concern for traditional marriage defenders is how to protect people who reject gay marriage on conscience grounds from suffering legal penalties.
In April, the Supreme Court turned down an appeal by a husband-wife wedding photography team in Albuquerque, New Mexico, whom the state human rights commission found guilty of violating New Mexico's anti-discrimination law for refusing to photograph a lesbian couple's wedding ceremony. The state Supreme Court upheld the commission.
Other business owners lately have found themselves in the same situation. In early June the Colorado Civil Rights Commission ruled against a bakery shop owner who refused to provide a wedding cake for a same-sex marriage.
Predictably, in view of the continuing drumbeat of gay-friendly coverage in media, public opinion on gay marriage has shifted dramatically in recent years. In a recent report, the Pew Research Center said approval of same-sex marriage had risen from 32 to 43 percent among black Protestants between 2013 and 2014. Among white mainline Protestants, the approval figure rose from 55 to 62 percent. But support remained about the same: 59 percent among people identifying themselves as Catholics, while the rate of approval among white evangelical Protestants stayed at 23 percent.
Last February, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco pronounced amending the Constitution to be "the only remedy in law against this judicial activism" propelling the rush to same-sex marriage.
He made his remark in a letter to Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan., whose federal Marriage Protection Amendment is pending in the House of Representatives. When and if the Supreme Court strikes down the remaining state bans on gay marriage, Huelskamp's amendment — or something like it — will be virtually the only way of changing the legal situation.
With the law on same-sex marriage in flux, attention increasingly is focused on the Supreme Court. Some fear it might deliver a ruling resembling its 1973 decision abruptly legalizing abortion nationwide.
"Just as Roe v. Wade mandated a constitutional right to abortion throughout the country, we now have the possibility of another bad decision mandating a constitutional change in the meaning of marriage," said Archbishop Cordileone.
He could be right.

Practical Introduction to FEA
An opportunity to ensure that your organization gets
maximum benefit from using FEA
3-Day Training Course : Introduction to FEA Analysis
FEA has become widely used and universally accepted in many industry sectors. FEA is a powerful technique, able to produce solutions to challenging structural analysis problems. The technology and computational efficiency of the method, together with the rapid increases in computer processing power means that today the scope and size of simulations far exceeds the capabilities of even a few years ago.
However for those engineers embarking on FEA, or companies adopting the technique to improve designs or achieve certification of new products, there is a steep learning curve to overcome.
There are a bewildering array of element types, solution types, meshing methods and pre-post processing options that have to be faced. This is before we get down to the engineering physics behind the problem, with associated classic traps and errors. What is needed is guidance via a thorough but practical assessment of the method and how to use it in the real world.
NAFEMS, the only vendor neutral, not-for-profit organization with the aim of promoting the effective and reliable use of FEA, addresses this requirement by providing this three day example-driven, practical course.
Students are shown the background to the FEA methodology, via simple real examples with a minimum of theory. The strength and weaknesses of the various FEA techniques are shown and discussed. Practical considerations of loadings, boundary conditions and structural details are shown by numerous examples.
The assessment, validation and interpretation of FEA results are vital for delivering safe, effective products. A process is shown which provides confidence in the results and aims to provide conservative, reliable and qualified results. The attendees join in the activity of building this process themselves and come away with an embryo Procedural Check List
The course offers excellent guidance on how to assess and plan the task of carrying out a structural analysis using FEA. A clear understanding of the objectives of each analysis is vital and a road map for achieving this is presented. A review of the tradeoff between available resource and analysis methodology is given.
Interaction is encouraged throughout the course. Real world examples are given at every stage, drawn from the Tutors wide practical experience. Questions are very welcome, as this is one of the key aspects of making this a unique experience for each attendee. Attendee project examples can often be incorporated into the class as time permits, to benefit all. Role playing situations include the class acting as a syndicate to evaluate a Design Failure, critical assessment of an FE Report and the continuous evolution of the Check List.
The course is completely code independent, attendees are welcome to bring laptops to take notes, but they are not required.
A full set of printed and bound notes will be issued to every attendee.
Who Should Attend?
This course is aimed at practicing engineers who wish to learn more about how to apply finite element techniques to their particular problems in the most effective manner. The material that is presented is independent of any particular software package, making it ideally suited to current and potential users of all commercial finite element software systems. This course is a must for all engineers aiming to use FEA as a reliable predictive tool for thermal, stiffness and stress analysis.
Companies moving into FEA technology to improve product designs or assess prototype failures or speed the design process will benefit from sending key engineers to this course. If you have sufficient engineers then a tailor made course may be more suitable. NAFEMS can then work closely with you to cater for your specific industry sector or analysis type.
The course is open to both members and non-members of NAFEMS.

If only it was the same down here. *sighs*
it basically is the same down here. The government isnt' going after the small time person that downloads a few songs. They want the people that are uploading them. It technically is illegal, but they aven't enforced it very much.

Canada kicks ass. I just wish it wasn't a canadian country.
Music should be phree.
It really isn't worth the while of the government, RIAA or whoever to go after people who download the odd pirated song over p2p, in the same way as some UK police forces don't bother arresting people found in possession of small amounts of cannabis. The cost to the government (and therefore the taxpayer) of tracking down these people and collecting sufficient evidence for a successful prosecution just isn't worth it, especially when there are more serious crimes (e.g. street muggings) to be dealt with. File sharers don't hurt anyone, except the pockets of record company directors, so they're not exactly public enemy number one.
However, try to make money from uploading pirated music and the authorities will be after you pretty damn quickly, if only to ensure that the record companies continue to fund the government's next election campaign.
Paul Waring - Web site design and development.
really, no matter how you look at it the people are always going to find a way around the laws. they obviously did when music sharing started, because at the time if you checked the laws it was actually never stated that ONLINE sharing was illegal. people will always find a way around the laws, and so i really think that even if big sharing software gets beaten, like kazaa and morpheus, that new ones will come up, just with slightly different ways of sharing, so that they can bypass the laws.
indeed music should be free "flogthebishop" but i disagree with canada kicks ass because it doesnt
I think most people could leave aside national remarks. They lack all relevance regarding this particular discussion.
pwaring made a good point here. Just as a note

Jennifer Givens Named to College Sports Madness All-OVC Team
Nashville, Tenn. – Senior Jennifer Givens has been named to the College Sports Madness - Ohio Valley Conference All-Conference 2nd Team. The lefty centerfielder was honored for her exceptional play in her final season with the Tigers.
Givens finished the season with 56 hits in 146 at bats for a .384 battings average. She led the Tigers with 27 runs scored and 25 stolen bases. Givens recorded two doubles, two triples, 10 RBI and 12 walks for a .441 on base percentage. The Kingston native was fifth in the OVC this season in hitting and swiped the third most bases. Her 16 steals inside of conference play was the most by any player in the OVC.
In just two seasons, the junior college transfer left her mark all over the TSU record books. The .384 average is the fourth highest for a single season in school history, while her 56 hits is third highest in a season and the 27 runs is tied for fourth. Givens set the record for stolen bases with 34 during the 2012 campaign and now holds the number four spot as well for her thefts this season. The .441 OBP is now the third best in Tiger history for a season.
During her career, Givens was hit by a pitch 10 times (tied for 4th), compiled a.326 average (4th), a .381 OBP (5th) and stole the second most bases, 59.
Givens put together a pair of eight games hit streaks, including over the final eight games of her career. Her final streak was highlighted by a four-hit performance versus Tennessee Tech during the first game on April 28. The four hits ties the TSU single game high.


text: Topkapý Palace constructed by Fatih Sultan Mehmet, (the Conqueror) in 1478 has been the official residence of the Otoman Sultans and center of State Administration around 380 years until the construction of Dolmabahçe Palace by Sultan Abdülmecid. The palace having around 700.000 m.² area during the foundation years has currently 80.000 m.² area. Topkapý Palace was evacuated by the accommodation of the Palace inhabitants in Dolmabahçe, Yýldýz and in other palaces. Upon abandoning by the Sultans, Topkapý Palace where many officials resided had also never lost its importance. The palace was repaired from time to time. A special attention was taken for the annual maintenance of Mukaddes Emanetler Dairesi (Sacred Safekeeping Rooms) visited by the sultan and his family during Ramadan. The opening of Topkapý Palace for visits as museum happened firstly in the reign of Sultan Abdülmecid (1839-1861). The belongings within Topkapý Palace Treasury was shown to the contemporary English ambassador. Later on, it has become a tradition to show the antics within the Topkapý Palace Treasury to the foreigners and during the era of Sultan Abdulaziz (1861-1876), showrooms are made in French style, and these antics are started to be shown to foreigners in these showrooms within Treasury. During the period when Sultan II Abdulhamid was dethroned (1876-1909), it was thought to open the Treasury Room to public visits on Sundays and Tuesdays, yet it never realized. By the order of Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Topkapý Palace firstly affiliated to the Istanbul Asar-ý Atika Museums Directorate and opened to public visits on date of April 3, 1924, then it started to service as Treasury Chamberlain, after it was renamed as Treasury Directorate and finally it was renamed as Topkapý Palace Museum Directorate and it still continues its services. Upon the performance of small repairs and taking some administrative cautions in 1924, Topkapý Palace was opened to service as a Museum on October 9, 1924. The sections opened to visit at that time were Kubbealtý, Arz Odasý, Mecidiye Köþkü (Pavilion Mecidiye), Hekimbaþý Odasý (Room of Chief Doctor), Mustafa Paþa Köþkü (Pavilion Mustafa Pasha) ve Baðdad Köþküdür (Pavilion Baghdad).

Poison Realities
Poison centers are known for their wide range of poison related information. Our communities seek out our services when the question of a poisoning arises.
The goal of the information listed in this section is to provide resource information that may not be found anywhere else. The subjects listed are related to poison information resources. The content here also include community alert information that is health related, but may not be purely related to an active poisoning.
Calling the administration office or contacting the poison center via e-mail is NOT a substitute for calling the phone center for poison HELP information.
Facts On Poison Exposures:
- On average, poison centers handle one poison exposure every 13 seconds.
- Most poisonings involve everyday household items such as cleaning supplies, medicines, cosmetics and personal care items.
- Seventy-seven percent (77%) of poison exposures involve an ingestion of a poisonous substance. Other causes include breathing in poison gas, getting foreign substances in the eyes or on the skin, and bites or stings.
Children and Poison:
- Over 51 percent of poison exposure calls to the Oregon Poison Center occurred in children under the age of six in 2013.
- Although children under the age of five are the most likely to be exposed to poison, they represent just over two percent of poison fatalities.
Teens and Poison:
- In children between the ages of 13 and 19, the majority of poison exposures (61%) involve girls.
- In children under 13, the reverse is true. Over 53 percent of these exposures involve boys.
- 62 % of adolescent exposures were intentional such as suicide or drug abuse.
Adults and Poison:
- Over 58 percent of all poison fatalities occur in adult's ages 20 to 49 years.
- While adults 60 and over account for almost six percent of poison exposures, they account for 28 percent of fatalities.
