What kind of parents would meekly comply with an order to kill their only child? What kind of God would ask such a thing? Disturbing questions arise from today's first reading, which opens: "God put Abraham to the test."
In what follows, the narrative is more like a call story. God calls Abraham by name, and, just as Samuel did (1 Sm 3:3), twice Abraham responds "Here I am!" Call stories emphasize the eagerness of a person to respond to God, as well as the great sacrifices they are asked to make for the sake of the mission. Genesis 12 records the call of Abraham and his willingness, even at the age of 75, to leave his home in Haran to journey into the unknown. Already Abraham has shown himself responsive to all that God asks; he has committed himself fully to God in a covenant (Gn 15:1-21). Unsettling questions arise as we ponder why God would demand that Abraham sacrifice his precious son, an act that would seem to make impossible the fulfillment of God's promise of numerous descendants.
Might it be that the biblical writer is relating how Abraham continued to experience trials and tribulations, even as he tried his best to follow God's call? Having a mindset that whatever happens is God's doing, the writer attributes the "testing" of Abraham to God's intent. Did Abraham find, as we do, that even when we try to be most faithful, tragic things still happen? Or did there come a time when Isaac's life was in jeopardy and Abraham felt responsible and helpless to protect him? What parent has not had such frightening experiences? Parents also know that loving their children demands that they be willing to let them go. All love relationships flourish only when there is freedom to let go what is most precious, so as to receive it back as a gift. Even if Abraham had lost Isaac, that would not have nullified God's covenant of love.
The story of Abraham and Isaac invites us to reflect on times when, even though we try to be faithful, we do not hear correctly what God is saying. In rabbinic tradition, some sages have interpreted this text not as a test of Abraham, but of his misunderstanding: "What, do you think I meant for you to slay him? No! I said only to take him up...and now I say take him down" (Gen. Rab. 56:8). Practices of communal discernment offer an alternative model to that of relying on the decisions of one person who might misunderstand what God has said.
A different image of "trial" is found in the second reading. Paul paints a courtroom scene, where despite our shortcomings God acts as our advocate, the one who is on our side, arguing our case. This is a God who does not need payment or any proof of our loyalty. Instead, it is God who proves how much we are loved by freely "handing over" the Son and everything else for us all. God does not "hand over" Jesus to death; rather, God "handed over" the Son to embody in human flesh God's love for us. Paul knows that there is nothing we can do to earn or prove our love in return. He knows that charges of unfaithfulness can be brought against any of us. Paul then shifts the image: God takes the position of judge, and the risen Christ becomes our advocate. God knows we are guilty, but always acquits us.
A love like this endures even beyond death; it is not disproved by death, as today's Gospel shows. But love is costly. Today's psalm speaks of God's distress at the death of anyone. "Too costly in the eyes of the LORD is the death of his faithful" (N.A.B.) renders better the connotation of "weightiness" that the Hebrew adjective yqr (v. 15) has than does "precious" (N.R.S.V.). A glimpse of the fullness of God's transformative and costly love is depicted in the Gospel as Jesus continues to choose faithfulness to the divine mission, even though it will lead to his death. By listening to and following Jesus, God's faithfulness becomes our own.

Pat Perez has enjoyed a renaissance since returning from shoulder surgery in 2016. But his greatest moment arrived this week.
Pat and his wife Ashley appeared to be out to dinner Saturday in Hawaii. It wouldn't be just an normal meal, though, as the spouse offered her husband an incredible and creative surprise.
That's terrific! Congrats to the happy couple!
The video didn't show totally clearly what the message on the plate was – although you may have gathered it from context clues – but here is the full message:
Here are the rest of the pictures! @patperezgolf finding out @montagekapalua at dinner @caneandcanoe he's going to be a daddy. Our bed that the @ritzcarlton decorated for us when they found out. And my house that my INCREDIBLY sweet girlfriends @sofiewalcker @tinytegs decorated for me to come home to (since I found out I was pregnant in Hawaii!) What an exciting time! On cloud 9! #babyonboard #babyontheway
Those two recent PGA Tour wins coming after many doubted him must feel sweet for Pat Perez. But the 41-year-old learning he's going to be a dad?
Now that is a truly special moment he'll remember forever.

Petroleum prices should remain high for the foreseeable future, while natural gas prices should remain low and electricity prices are likely to increase slowly. Demand is likely to remain high for nitrogen, potash and phosphorus fertilizers, but production costs will have much less impact than commodity prices.
A potential waiver of the renewable fuels standard (RFS) would result in little change to commodity prices.
That's the energy and fertilizer outlook in a nutshell, but Henry Bryant, research associate with the Agricultural and Food Policy Center, Department of Agricultural Economics, Texas A&M, offered details on what's driving those prices during the recent Southwest Ag Issues Summit in Austin.
Hurricane Isaac, Bryant said, caused relatively little disruption of short-term or long-term energy supply. "Isaac didn't do a lot of long-term damage to the infrastructure, and facilities were soon back on line." The impact on the global market was about 1.5 percent. "Isaac was not a terrible problem and occurred when there was a fairly high stock of crude in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries."
Looking a bit farther out, for the next 18 to 24 months, he says, non-OPEC countries, including the U.S., will have "a lot of new production in 2012 and more in 2013. High prices spur production."
Petroleum prices have been high, "but not as high as in 2008."
Forward pricing could be an iffy venture, Bryant says. "We expect prices to be relatively flat, with not a lot of increase." The range of "confidence intervals" shows a possible spread of $45 a barrel to $180 a barrel. "We don't expect prices to spike to $120."
Little effect from RFS
Recent requests for a waiver on the Renewable Fuels Standard, sought because of the drought and potential effects on the 2012 corn crop and price, would have little effect on blended fuel prices or diesel, he says.
"In the short run, gas will remain in the upper one-half of the five-year range for this time of year. Diesel will remain in the lower half of the five year range for this time of year."
Consumption is down over the last few years, he says, because people are driving less and cars are averaging more miles per gallon. Exports are also higher.
Refineries are also retooling to produce "relatively more diesel and relatively less gasoline," he says. "Diesel prices remain high compared to gas, but we expect no high gas spike."
Wholesale gasoline prices should range from $2.50 to just under $3 a gallon, he says, with diesel from just above to just below $3 a gallon.
Long-term, crude oil extraction will remain a key component of petroleum price. "Risks are really high for crude oil extraction," Bryant says. "The easy stuff is gone — now it's deep, offshore, Alaska, etc., and with a steadily increasing cost of extraction."
For proven reserves, he says, chances of recovery are 90 percent "under current economic, political and technological conditions." For probable reserves, the chance of recovery falls to 50 percent, and for possible reserves, it's 10 percent.
"Possible reserves are so risky because of geological uncertainty, expense and susceptibility to reserve infill." Recovering possible reserves, Bryant says, likely will demand improvements in technology.
The natural gas outlook is better. Isaac caused a temporary "shut-in of 4.7 percent," but no damage to infrastructure. "It is coming back on line rapidly," Bryant says. "And Isaac occurred during a period of relatively high stocks."
Shale gas is making a significant contribution to increased natural gas supplies and lower prices, he notes. "Long term, there is a lot of shale gas, and prices should remain low."
Natural gas is "increasingly used to produce electricity," keeping cost increasing at a slow pace. "With natural gas, power plants can satisfy peak loads and can turn it on and off quickly." Coal stocks are also "substantial; a lot is available — and electricity still uses a lot of coal."
The last three years have put some stress on energy, with the "three hottest summers in decades. Last winter was generally warmer, but some months were warm and some were not." The rate of price increase for residential electricity has dropped to 1 percent to 2 percent over the past few years, Bryant says, and he anticipates about a 1 percent rate of increase going forward.
Fertilizer outlook
So, what effect do energy prices have on fertilizer prices? Not a lot, Bryant says, though the difficulty in manufacturing the products may play a role. Potassium, for instance, faces a "substantial barrier to entry into the market," with a six- to eight-year lag time to get a new operation up and running.
"That results in production cycles that can lead to price hikes," he says. The U.S. currently imports 80 percent of its potassium, mostly from Canada, but new capacity is coming online in North America.
Potassium prices hit historical highs in 2008, dipped a bit in 2009 "as the economy fell apart," but ran back up in 2011. "The price is high because the demand is high," Bryant says. Production cost doesn't have much of an effect on prices, because "demand goes up as commodity prices go up."
The phosphate outlook is similar to potassium, but not as bad, he says, with lower production costs and shorter lead time — three to four years — to get new production.
The U.S. produces a lot of phosphate, Bryant says, but also exports a lot, about one-third of production. New production is coming online in Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Brazil.
"High demand means high prices," he says, "and we expect high demand to continue. A high correlation exists with the price of phosphate and the price of corn."
Nitrogen production costs are tied to natural gas prices, which "vary according to location.
"U.S. ammonium production saw a significant drop from 2000 to 2006. From 2008 through 2010 net imports were declining. The U.S. nitrogen fertilizer industry is regrouping and rebuilding." The U.S. is a low-cost producer, he notes, but "Russia is the lowest."
U.S. nitrogen import and export rates currently "are steady."
Also, as with potassium and phosphate, the price of nitrogen is closely correlated with the price of commodities. "With all three nutrients, demand is the story," Bryant says.
He doesn't expect fertilizer prices to drop anytime soon, "unless several conditions are met." Those include continued low natural gas prices and reduced crop prices. An RFS waiver would have little effect, he says.
The bottom line for farmers and ranchers continues to hinge on close scrutiny of all inputs, including energy and fertilizer. Efficient use of nutrients and conserving energy when possible, as well as smart shopping, will be crucial for successful producers.

DxOMark Sensor scores
Defining viewing conditions for normalizing measurements and scores:
Different DSLRs offer resolutions ranging from about 6 up to 24Mpix (with higher resolutions to come). Higher-resolution sensors offer more detail, but their smaller pixel size often leads to higher noise levels, and consequently to lower dynamic range, tonal range, and color sensitivity. When printing under identical conditions, however, the performance differences can be either mitigated or accentuated by the choice of print size.
When one compares an 8Mpix image with a 32Mpix image printed on identical 20x30cm paper at 300dpi, the measurements for the original image do not give a good indication of the final result. The 8Mpix image will require no interpolation (2300 pixels for 20cm, or roughly 8 inches), while the 32MPix image will have to be reduced significantly, with 4 original pixels averaged into a single pixel. This averaging operation will significantly reduce the noise in the 32Mpix, and accordingly improves the measurements provided for the original resolution.
Original measurements can help gauge image quality when viewed at 100%, but to better predict how prints will compare, we provide a normalized (and thus more reliable) version based on 8Mpix.
See "Detailed computation of DxOMark Sensor normalization" for more information.

We assume my breathing problems are from the muscles in my chest. I would like to know if anyone with this condition has severe tightness in their chest. I have had 3 severe episodes. I know it sounds like it could be the heart. I just hesitate to go to the doctor every time we have something odd. I have had a complete heart work up several years ago and was ok.
today my chest is sore from the tightness and poor breathing. I am so tired of trying to decide what is causing each different problem. My NL said it is the disease/ My plu has no clue. I only have 68 % lung function as it is. Part of it is scoliosis. thank you for any info

Screen visits the set of Mat Whitecross' Stone Roses-inspired coming-of-age film.
Director: Mat Whitecross
Writer: Chris Coghill
Producers: Fiona Neilson and Esther Douglas of Fiesta Productions
Executive Producers: Chris Martin, Joe Oppenheimer, Phil Hunt, Compton Ross, Adam Kulick, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion
Cast: Elliott Tittensor (Shameless), Matthew McNulty (Misfits), Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones), Lesley Manville (Another Year), Nico Mirallegro (Upstairs, Downstairs), Oliver Heald, Adam Long (Waterloo Road), Jordan Murphy, Chris Coghill [casting by Jane Ripley]
DoP: Chris Ross
Shoot: 5 weeks in Greater Manchester and also around the original Spike Island site in Widness.
Financing: BFI Film Fund [majority financing and also backed development], BBC Films, Head Gear/Bankside, Revolver Entertainment, Goldcrest, Coldplay (the band, which has collaborated with Whitecross)
UK/Irish rights: Revolver plans a release later in 2012
International Sales: Bankside
It's a trip back to Madchester, baggy jeans and all, in Mat Whitecross' new film Spike Island, about five young aspiring musicians who want to go see their heroes, the Stone Roses, play their seminal gig at Spike Island in the summer of 1990. Whitecross says the set has been buzzing with youthful exuberance of his five young leads (ranging in age from 20-24, not actual teenagers).
"It's nice hanging out with kids on set and buzzing from their energy… They've got an incredible amount of energy, so it's the nature of it, trying to harness it and getting them to do their own thing. It's great that young actors are constantly trying things out," Whitecross told Screen on set.
The project started with actor Chris Coghill, a Manchester native who played Bez in Michael Winterbottom's 2002 Madchester feature 24-Hour Party People. Producer Fiona Neilson, then at Revolution Films and now at Fiesta Productions, thought a story based on fans of the Roses could have wide appeal.
Neilson, who produces alongside her Fiesta partner Esther Douglas, says: "I think it's a phenomenal script. Chris is really amazing at writing characters and dialogue. It's funny but also touching…The references are Stand By Me meets This Is England in 1990s Manchester."
Even non-Roses fans will be able to appreciate the story, says Adam Long, who plays Little Gaz. "Lads are always goint to be the same, it's about growing up."
Oliver Heald, who plays Penfold, adds: "The language is natural, it flows. It's all about these lads that are 16, and we've all been 16 and remember what that's like."
Evidenced from Screen's day on set, these lads have a natural banter on camera and off. Adam Long, who plays Little Gaz, adds: "It's hard to define when a scene starts and ends." Murphy, who plays Zippy, agrees: "It's amazing, we've had nothing but banter. All we've done is laugh."
Long says Whitecross has kept the set relaxed: "It's such a chilled set. Mat's young himself and he understands actors well, he's mint."
Elliott Tittensor plays Tits, Nico Mirallegro plays Dodge, Jordan Murphy plays Zippy, Adam Long plays Little Gaz, and Oliver Heald plays Penfold.
Whitecross has lots of praise for these young actors. "It's hard to get it to feel natural with young actors sometime. There is a danger when people are starting out that they can be too actorly, but these guys strike the right balance."
The actors also learned (starting lessons pre-shoot) to play instruments for their own in-film band Shadow Caster. "It's pretty incredible that their band sounds good," says a proud Whitecross.
The project had a five-week shoot (wrapping in mid-April) mostly in Greater Manchester and also around the original Spike Island site in Widness.
Chris Collins at the BFI Film Fund was an early champion, and Revolver Entertainment came on board when the film was at script stage before Whitecross was even attached. Neilsen says: "They [Revolver] fit perfectly, because they are so good at marketing films in a different way. We can market it around the fact that you don't have to love the Stone Roses to see this film. Revolver could see what a great idea it was."
And with the shoot just wrapped, all signs are looking good. "I feel like this is shaping up to be a cult break-out British film," says Nielson.
Revolver head Justin Marciano says the project was a great fit for the company, which is known for its innovative marketing strategies as well as experience working on music-related projects. "We have always been huge fans of the iconic Stone Roses and were thrilled to have the opportunity to work with BBC & Fiesta, as well as exciting director Mat Whitcross, on such a charming and hilarious script. The movie captures a seminal moment in music history and was a natural choice for us given our close ties to the music industry," Marciano says. "The marketing opportunities are huge with the Stone Roses reforming in the summer and we are excited about promoting the film across this year's music festivals."
Another key piece of the puzzle was music supervisor Ian Neil licensing the Stone Roses music early on (and also licensing John Squire's iconic artwork). Also, Tim Wheeler from Ash wrote two original songs for the film.
Fiesta, which was launched six years ago, had already worked with Whitecross on Ashes, a genre thriller starring Ray Winstone, which will be released by CinemaNX in September. Neilson hopes to continue working frequently with Whitecross, inspired by the Michael Winterbottom-Andrew Eaton dynamic they witnessed at Revolution. "He's phenomenally talented," she says of the director (whose past credits also include Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll and The Road To Guantanamo.)
UP NEXT: Whitecross' Ashes will be released in September; he also plans to direct Paul Viragh's adaptation of David Peace's GB84 as a TV project with Revolution Films. That is a political thriller set against the mining strikes of the 1980s and Whitecross calls it "one of the most amazing scripts I've ever read." He's also working on a documentary for children's charity Kids Company. Fiesta aims to do two features per year, and is now financing Remembrance a contemporary Glasgow-set thriller to be directed by Kenny Glenaan and co-produced with Julia Valentine of Cacti Films. Also on Fiesta's slate is a larger US-set film, Marked Man, written by Kwame Kwei-Armah - a thriller about Marcus Garvey and one of the first black FBI agents; State of Happiness - a contemporary love story to be co-produced with Zentropa; Great Fire, a conspiracy thriller set during London's fire of 1666, and Going Mad in Hollywood, about the making of If…. Making more projects with Whitecross and Coghill is also a top priority and the team is discussing the possibility of developing a TV series inspired by Spike Island.

The Lectrosonics SMV Super Miniature Wireless Microphone Transmitter incorporates Lectrosonics patented Digital Hybrid Wireless technology, in a package no bigger than a pager. The SMV transmitter is miniature in size yet rugged enough to withstand rigorous daily use in the field or in studios.
To meet the demand for both extended operating range and extended battery life, the SMV transmitters offer selectable output power of 50, 100 or 250 mW. A third selection at 50 mW is provided for some theatrical applications, where the system design specifies lower transmitter power. The SMV transmitter offers 256 user-selectable UHF frequencies. The Switchcraft TA5M audio input has user-calibrated 44 dB gain range, and accepts electret lavaliere mics, dynamic mics, or line level signals. A DSP-controlled analog audio limiter is employed before the A-D converter. The limiter has a range of more than 30 dB and a dual-release envelope, making the limiter transparent while maintaining low distortion.
Lectrosonics patented Digital Hybrid technology revolutionizes wireless microphone transmission. Digital audio signal is converted and encoded for analog transmission, then decoded and converted back to digital audio at the receiver. The result is an exceptionally low noise floor as the compandor circuit is eliminated and clear audio reception is retained at greater distances.
The non-corrosive, machined aluminum casing is splash proof and features an LCD display with membrane switch control panel. The transmitter is powered by one AA lithium, NiMH or alkaline battery for up to 7.25 hours (lithium). The SMV transmitter is completely compatible with all Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid wireless receivers, as well as older Lectrosonics analog receivers.

How Steve Ballmer Became a Rookie Basketball Mogul
Microsoft Ex-CEO Charmed Shelly Sterling on Road to $2 Billion Clippers Purchase; Cheerleading With Cheerleaders
LOS ANGELES—Thirty minutes before meeting the basketball team he bought for $2 billion, Steve Ballmer was pacing a Starbucks parking lot on Wilshire Boulevard.
His black Chevy SUV was headed to Beverly Hills, where he would face the players and coaches of the Los Angeles Clippers for the first time. He had never been to an event like this, he said later, and felt both elated and anxious.

Father's Day is this Sunday. I am a father. I have a daughter and lost a son. I know that fatherhood can be joyous or bewildering or even painful.
If you are lucky enough to have your children with you this Sunday, perhaps your girl or boy will give you a hand-sculpted turtle that can be mistaken for a variety of animals. Yet, to you, this is the best art in the world.
Or, the token of mutual love you receive might be a perfect set of cuff links that your now grown-up little girl picked out—without "borrowing" the money from you!
But the essence of fatherhood is really about giving "gifts" to our children. The two greatest gifts we can give to our children are to love them and to bring them up in the nurturance and admonition of the Lord.
Today, there is a crisis of fatherhood in America: Unmarried women now account for 41 percent of all births. The majority of homeless kids, high school dropouts, and youth suicides all come from fatherless homes.
"Compared to children born within marriage, children born to cohabiting parents are three times as likely to experience father absence, and children born to unmarried, non-cohabiting parents are four times as likely to live in a father-absent home."
Only do the ignorant or ideologically blind see this as empowering or as progress.
So I, for one, have no interest in letting the self-anointed social progressives in the government usurp my role as father to 'train up my child in the way he should go.'
Throw-away marriage, cohabitation, and teaching our children to divide sex from marriage—"absolved" by contraception and "resolved" by abortion-on-demand—do not prepare our children to be loving fathers and mothers.
Neither are fathers and mothers just swappable parental units—two of one or the other is not a substitute for a father and a mother. Low income or high income, educated or uneducated, fathers are not irrelevant.
Current research bears out what we already know from millennia of tradition, common sense, and faith: The impact of fathers is far more than just a second adult in the home.
A father who has a good relationship with the mother is more likely to be involved, resulting in psychologically and emotionally healthier children. A father's involvement has a major impact on the child's cognitive ability and academic achievement. That same relationship enhances the mother's relationship with her children, thus contributing to their overall well-being.
Children who have good relationships with their fathers are less likely to suffer from depression or have behavioral problems. They are more likely to avoid drugs, exhibit self-control, be physically healthy, and have higher self-esteem.
Fathers bring positive benefits to their children like no other person. The presence of males and fathers in the lives of children is essential to their emotional, social, educational, and physical development.
So, please, enough with the silver-tongued politically correct euphemisms like alternative, modern, and non-traditional family. The social assault on fathers and the progressive experiment on the family is an abysmal failure.
A father's love protects, trusts, hopes, perseveres and, yes, sometimes even fails. Fortunately, fatherhood does not require perfection. It does, however, require courage and commitment.
This year, let's not just celebrate Father's Day. Let's stand for fatherhood.

Chavez Ravine rocking with postseason back in LA
LOS ANGELES -- In 1988, when the Dodgers won their sixth World Series championship, David Gomez was in diapers.

LOS ANGELES -- In 1988, when the Dodgers won their sixth World Series championship, David Gomez was in diapers.
A lot has changed since then, but Gomez hopes his 25th year as a Dodgers fan will end exactly the same way his first year did.View Full Game Coverage
"If they win this year, it will be fitting: 25 years and my 25 years [alive]," Gomez said. "Twenty-five years since we've won, and something about this year just feels right. I think this is the best time of year for Dodger fans, we're just so pumped."
On Sunday night, as the Dodgers hosted their first playoff game since the 2009 National League Championship Series, that energy and excitement was evident.
Amid thousands of fans waving blue towels and chanting "let's go, Dodgers," Matt Dieterle also expressed how happy he was to see playoff baseball back in Dodger Stadium.
"There's a lot of excitement," Dieterle said. "We're fully loaded. This team seems like it's built to go all the way, so everybody in this city latches on to that. L.A. loves a winner, so you put together a winning team and fans will come out."
The fans certainly came out for Game 3 of the NL Division Series, but as Dieterle said, "L.A. loves a winner," and the Dodgers hadn't won their division since 2009.
Not only were the Dodgers absent from the playoffs for three seasons, but those years were especially trying as the club went through a highly publicized ownership change in addition to the on-field struggles.
"Out of all the fans in baseball, I think we Dodger fans have it the hardest," Gomez said. "We've had such a roller coaster of a ride. Sometimes it's so bad and other times, history has shown, we just have the best moments in baseball. I feel we are going to have one of those moments."
However, when the season began, Gomez -- and other fans -- admitted the confidence was not quite as high.
Just as the past four years had been frustrating, the beginning of the season was also rough on the Dodgers.
On June 21, they were eight games under .500 and 9 1/2 games back in the NL West.
"We were pretty down in the dumps," Dodgers fan Juan Bravo said. "I was in the top deck drinking beers with my brother-in-law talking about where things went wrong, and we didn't know if we were going to come back to any more games, to be honest with you. Then, that streak happened."
The Dodgers went 42-8 over the next 50 games and ran away with the division crown.
The disappointing start is now a distant memory to Dodgers fans, as a seventh World Series title is the new expectation.
"Going 42-8, all of a sudden expectations go much higher," Dieterle said. "That's great and it's bad at the same time, because now it's crunch time."

Every spring, in anticipation of my vegetable garden, I forget an important point: Gardening is neither easy nor particularly enjoyable.
Don't believe those dreamers who insist that growing vegetables is a spiritually transforming experience. Sure, we all have those brief moments of awe when a bean seedling first breaks through the concrete crust of Addison County clay. And who doesn't swoon over the taste of a juicy, just-picked tomato, still warm from the afternoon sun?
Whatever. Most of the time, gardening is the pits.

The Obama Administration has officially entered the legal same-sex marriage battle.
NBC's Pete Williams first reported that the Justice Department would urge the United States Supreme Court to allow same-sex marriage to resume in California in an official filing to the court.
The Obama Administration filed a friend-of-the-court brief by the close of business Thursday. Read brief here (pdf).
In it the administration argues that denying gays and lesbians the right to marry violates the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause. It also contends that discrimination based on sexual orientation requires extra scrutiny by the court.
The official filing is specifically in support of the two gay couples who launched the legal fight over Proposition 8 four years ago. Prop 8 is a ballot initiative approved by 52-percent of California voters in 2008. It banned gay marriage and put an end to same sex unions in California. Prior to the vote some 18,000 gay couples were legally married in California.
California is one of eight states that give gay couples all the benefits of marriage through civil unions or domestic partnership, but don't allow them to wed.
California's Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, who while serving as mayor of San Francisco was the first elected official to allow same sex marriages to happen in 2004, applauded the White House for standing up for equal protection under the law.
"I'm proud of him he's taking a risk he didn't need to do this but he's doing the right thing," Newsom said.
The administration brief argues that grant the benefits shows the state already acknowledges that gay relationships are equal to heterosexual ones.
"They establish homes and lives together, support each other financially, share the joys and burdens of raising children, and provide care through illness and comfort at the moment of death,'' the administration said in the brief.
Gay rights supporters had been pressing the administration to file the brief.
The president was not required to file a brief, though he raised expectations in his second inaugural address when he declared that gays and lesbians must be "treated like anyone else under the law."
The filing is not legally binding. Thursday was the last day for filing briefs in support of the California couples' position.
If the justices agree with administration's filing it could result in gay marriage becoming legal in the seven other states,according to experts. The states are Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon and Rhode Island.
Supreme Court justices have scheduled to hear arguments in the Prop. 8 case at the end of March.
The news of the Justice Department filing came on the same day as a new poll that showed a majority of Californians now support gay marriage.
The Field Poll found a record 61 percent of Californians now approve of allowing same-sex couples to marry. The poll results represent a reversal in views about the issue in the 36 years the Field Poll has been taking surveys on gay marriage. In 1977, when the first survey was conducted, only 28 percent approved of gay marriage, while 59 percent were opposed.

UPDATED: One Injured, One Unexpected, Two Canadian Dogs Arrive Alive
UPDATE: 10.4.11 Sura means "New Life" and that's quite literally what this girl has found herself. This is the broken legged pup that I was talking about the other day. Thankfully, she made it safely down to Montreal on the next available flight and went straight to the vet for x-rays and veterinary attention. Sura, a 6-month old Lab/Corgi mix, was hit by a car in her hometown after she had been hiding from a group of bigger dogs.
When it happened, no one was there to make sure she was alive or to check if she needed help – which she desperately did. For nearly a week, she dragged herself around on a broken leg until a good-hearted person came to her rescue and called the International Fund for Animal Welfare's Northern Dogs Project.
As I said the other day, this girl didn't make it onto the flight as scheduled on Saturday night so she spent one more night in the community and the next day was flown south and picked up by Rosie Animal Adoption in Montreal (who takes in, provides medical attention and re-homes many pups from this particular community). Sura was rushed to the specialty vet for x-rays that clearly showed a fractured femur but thankfully, no broken back.
Yesterday, Sura had successful surgery that required pins to hold the bones together and she is now recuperating until she is well enough to go to her new foster home. Her "new Life" will be full of love and pain-free from now on. As you can imagine, this type of care is very expensive and though Rosie's and IFAW covered the cost of her surgery, we want to be ready for the next injured pup-in-need who arrives on our doorstep. It's the gift that keeps on giving -- when you help IFAW, we help the animals in need. Thank you for your continued support of IFAW and rescues like Rosie Animal Adoption in Montreal. -- JH Together we can continue to help these dogs who otherwise have no chance of finding their "Sura".
ORIGINAL POST: Her name is Tiffy. But I'm calling her Pippi -- as in Longstocking -- because that is a ridiculous name for a short legged pup. She, Pippi, wasn't even supposed to be here, as I had received a call last week about another puppy who had been hit by a car and needed medical attention pronto. This always sets in motion a logistical bonanza because the dogs are flown into Montreal – I'm in Guelph, more than 600km away. Instead, here was Pippi...I simply can't be two places at once! I admit it, I need volunteers in Montreal to pick up and overnight dogs for me.
So if you are that person, get in touch with me. I'm not kidding! It would make my life so much easier and would facilitate getting these beasties from north to south and east to west. Broken legged puppy was to fly down on Saturday night. Then I would try to find someone to pick him up at the airport and hopefully get volunteer ground transport to get him from Montreal to here.
On Friday, my colleague Kati was leaving the office and I heard her say "blabbedy bladdedy Montreal…" so I flew out of my seat to ask if she would, if she could pleeease bring this puppy from Montreal to Guelph. With one bit of the puzzle potentially taken care of, I emailed Rosie's Animal Adoption in Montreal to ask if they had any volunteers who could pick up and overnight the puppy.
I received an email immediately saying they could help. Relief doesn't begin to describe what I was feeling. It's going to work! The plan was this – puppy gets picked up and immediately taken to the vet. If the puppy is in really bad shape, he will be euthanized so that he doesn't have to endure any more pain. If he can be fixed, and he is well enough to travel to me, he will be provided with pain medication and Kati will bring him here on Sunday. Plan confirmed, check, check.
Then I got a call from the community end of things. The puppy had not made the flight. Total disappointment. This meant that the logistics start all over again and it's not simply a rehome, it's an urgent medical case. Then I got a call from Rosie's Animal Adoption who was creatively working on a totally different kind of plan from their end. If I could take Tiffy/Pippi from them, they would take the broken legged pup when he flew down, hopefully on the Monday evening flight. By taking Pippy from them, it freed up one foster space that they could then use for the broken legged guy.
Pippi and him are supposedly littermates. From the same community, she is about the same age and came down last week after scrounging for food in a parking lot for almost a week. Switch-a-roo complete. Pippy arrived yesterday afternoon and I'm looking forward to an update on the broken legged guy. Fingers crossed that he's okay and prepping for a flight south. Thanks to Rosie's for already helping the Northern Dogs that they pick up at the airport each month, fix and rehome but a big, personal thank you for the flexibility and generosity shown this weekend. -- JH

This is actually the first forum I have ever joined and I'm glad! I had zero photo editing and very limited computer experience (mainly just web browsing) when I set out to root and DF didn't care, you all helped anyway! Even then, I never would've imagined where the road would lead. Any and everything I've learned and know about Andriod came from this site or the members here and I can't thank you enough!! My decision to start theming came from requesting red stars for my market nearly a year ago (even offering a donation for them) and nobody I asked would do it. Instead of getting all bent out of shape, it inspired me to learn to do it myself! It wasn't even until Christmas of 2010 that I got my first computer because I never really used one or needed one. School and theming were the only reasons I got one. I started with theming the infamous Wireless Tether app...for me and a member I sent it to suggested me posting it here. I waited about a week because I was NOWHERE near as good as all of the many talented themers here. I was and still am blown away that people actually liked my work! The comments and compliments that were posted in that thread got me pumped to do more and its been on ever since! Without a doubt, my biggest inspiration was and still remains to be 928Droid (Miss you Dave)! His Black Glass themes are still unlike any other theme available..IMO. And I hope to see more from him soon!

Opinion: Political grandstanding cannot happen with Hurricane Harvey relief
EDITOR'S NOTE: Boris Epshteyn formerly served as a Senior Advisor to the Trump Campaign and served in the White House as Special Assistant to The President and Assistant Communications Director for Surrogate Operations.
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - Money is key to recovery from the destruction caused by Hurricane Harvey.
It is too early to know what the final cost will be to fully repair the damage. Estimates have come in as high as $190 billion, according to AccuWeather. That far exceeds the cost of recovery from both Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy.
The White House is requesting Congress authorize $7.85 billion for initial recovery efforts.
While it is widely expected that Congress find a way to provide this initial funding for relief efforts - the question is whether they will deliver enough to cover the full recovery costs, as they should.
Living in New York, my family and I saw firsthand the devastation that Hurricane Sandy brought in 2012.
Back then, certain lawmakers chose political grandstanding over providing the much-needed government assistance, which was significantly delayed as a result. No matter how divided our politicians are, that cannot occur again.
Here is the bottom line : we cannot let the bungled federal response following Hurricane Sandy happen to the victims of Hurricane Harvey. It is not who we are as Americans. Congress needs to be responsible when spending our tax dollars. In this case, their responsibility is to make sure that those suffering after Harvey get all the help they need.

Weekly Astrology for April 3, 2017 by Chris Flisher
Venus, which has been in retrograde motion in Aries since March 4th, now crosses back into the late degrees of Pisces before in turns direct on April 15th. �This is a relatively short visit for the planet that epitomizes love, beauty and harmony. �Of course, Venus was already in Pisces before the retrograde and spent time there in early February. �As with all retrogrades, the influence of the reverse motion is symbolized by the attributes of the planet involved. �As mentioned earlier, love, beauty, and harmony have all been on our collective minds and we have been perhaps reconsidering our options and choices, not only with regard to relationships but also to our place and purpose going forward. �While in Aries Venus has brought to surface a theme of passionate activism. �We have witnessed the rise of the collective voices of many who are disturbed by the current climate in our political realm. �Since Venus also espouses the divine feminine, it comes as no surprise that women have been taking to the street and drawing up plans to urge forward an agenda that breaks down barriers and brings this energy into its rightful place in the world.
Listen each week to 'Turning of the Wheel' podcast on iTunes. �Great guests, great topics; information you can use. �Write to me for a reading or call at 1-978-393-1036 to connect with me. �Visit my websites at www.turningofthewheel.com, www.turningofthewheel.tv

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Japan electoral win brings pressure for reform
TOKYO (AP) — After winning control of both houses of parliament, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government has the potential to be one of Japan's most influential and effective administrations in years.
Abe devoted the first seven months of his premiership to convincing a public weary of revolving door prime ministers that he has the wherewithal to lead a revival in the world's No. 3 economy and deserves a strong legislative mandate.
He now faces the challenge of adding substance to a recovery that so far amounts to little more than the smoke and mirrors of a surging stock market and one quarter of improved economic growth.
If it were easy, the reforms Japan needs would have been executed long ago.
Preliminary results from Sunday's election show Abe's Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner the New Komeito took a combined 76 of the 121 seats up for grabs in the 242-member upper house. Together with the seats they already held, they now have a combined 135 seats. The ruling bloc now has control of both chambers for the first time in three years, removing a roadblock to implementing its economic reform agenda.
Abe characterized the largely expected outcome as an endorsement of his "Abenomics" strategy aimed at wresting Japan from two decades of economic doldrums and political gridlock, but acknowledged the hard work lies ahead.
"What the people really want is to get the economy back to recovery across the country," Abe said Monday. "The severe scrutiny of the public is focused on us. We have to ensure we live up to their expectations," he said. "Today is the real start for us."
Since Abe took office following a lower house election victory in late December, aggressive monetary easing and government spending have helped pull the economy out of recession, as share prices surged and exports gained competitiveness thanks to a weaker Japanese yen.
In that effort, Abe has a powerful ally in central bank governor Haruhiko Kuroda, who committed the Bank of Japan to aiming for inflation of 2 percent within two years, vowing to end years of debilitating price falls to get growth back on track.
The economy appears headed for what Kuroda has called a "moderate recovery. It grew an annualized 4.1 percent in January-March, which along with the rising stock market has helped keep Abe's popularity ratings at robust levels of between 50 to 60 percent.
But economists say deeper, more far-reaching changes are needed to sustain growth, boost Japan's competitiveness and adapt the nation's institutions to its fast-aging population and a ballooning national debt.
"I think the honeymoon's over," said Jeff Kingston, head of Asian studies at Temple University in Tokyo. "The difficulty, it's going to be to make reforms happen."
In just a few months, Abe will face a decision on whether to raise sales tax from 5 percent to 8 percent, a move many worry could derail the recovery but is vital for Japan's financial health.
The muted reaction in Japan's financial markets Monday, with the Nikkei 225 stock index yo-yoing to end the day up just 0.5 percent, reflects the election's largely expected outcome, and also the widespread awareness of the obstacles ahead.
"We face a slew of difficult problems," Abe told reporters Monday. "But for the sake of Japan's future, we must tackle these issues."
The Liberal Democrats led Japan for most of the post-World War II era, presiding over the transformation of a defeated and devastated nation into a "miracle" of export-led industrialization. That model of growth is no longer viable for a post-industrial nation whose population is shrinking and aging and whose manufacturers have had to shift factories overseas in order to survive.
The Japanese face daunting challenges to maintaining an enviably high standard of living and vibrant democracy.
Farmers, the ruling party's traditional bedrock of support, are aging and abandoning their fields, while young, urban Japanese face dim job prospects and declining incomes — and the prospect of a government bankrupted by costs of supporting a huge elderly population.
Abe's plan to restore Japan's greatness calls for a strong economy, pragmatic diplomacy and unshakable national security under the Japan-U.S. alliance, which allows for 50,000 American troops to be stationed in Japan.
For now, the hawkish Abe appears to be setting aside the nationalistic agenda he had to shelve when he resigned from his first term in office, in 2006-2007, for health reasons.
Abe favors revising the country's pacifist constitution, drafted by the United States after World War II, to give Japan's military a larger role. Such a prospect alarms China, which suffered invasion and occupation under Japan's imperial troops a century ago.
Abe indicated Monday that the legal groundwork for such changes has yet to be laid, and that the economy would take priority.
But the Liberal Democratic-led government is certain to adopt a strong defensive posture in territorial disputes with South Korea and with an increasingly assertive Beijing.
"As the security environment surrounding Japan has grown tougher, we have to think about what we need to defend Japan from outside threats," Abe said.
Revising the constitution would require two-thirds approval by both houses of parliament and a national referendum. Polls show the public are less interested in such matters than in reviving the economy and rebuilding areas of northeastern Japan devastated by the March 2011 tsunami, where very little progress has been made on reconstruction.
Abe has pledged to join the U.S.-led Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade bloc whose ground rules will require Japan to eventually dismantle protections for farmers and to open its markets wider to foreign goods and services, including health services. Experts say it will take years for such reforms to be implemented, against strong opposition from powerful farm and medical lobbies.
Abe has also proposed major labor market and childcare reforms to keep more women in the workplace and is pushing for stronger English-language education and more educational exchanges to help Japan shore up its global competitiveness. But many of these changes risk angering key constituencies and may be stymied by stubborn bureaucratic resistance to change.
"It is not at all clear to me that they will have the strength to break the opposition of much of urban Japan, for example, to constitutional change, to labor market reform, to social security reform," said Ken Courtis, a former Goldman Sachs vice chairman and investment banker.
The relatively low turnout in Sunday's vote, the third lowest in the post-war era, suggests the Liberal Democrats have little margin for error.
"In reality what we have is a government with a more and more narrow electoral base committing to engage in reforms," Courtis said.
Associated Press writers Mari Yamaguchi, Emily Wang and Miki Toda contributed to this report.

Nobel Prize in Chemistry
Walter Gilbert (born March 21, 1932) is an American physicist, biochemist, molecular biology pioneer, and Nobel laureate.
Gilbert was born in Boston, Massachusetts into a Jewish family and educated at the Sidwell Friends School, Harvard University and the University of Cambridge where he did his PhD thesis under another nobel laureate Abdus Salam. He later joined the faculty at Harvard. Together with Allan Maxam he developed a new DNA sequencing method. His approach to the first synthesis of insulin lost out to Genentech's approach which used genes built up from the nucleotides rather than from natural sources.

Jake Willer led the Bulldogs in scoring with 12 points, followed by Jaeon Nunnelly with 11 points. Dakota Jones led the Tigers in scoring with 13 points.
Several corporate sponsors help make the classic a successful community event including: Missouri Basketball Coaches Association, First National Bank, American Cancer Society, Sydenstricker, Special Olympics, Commerce Bank, Mexico Heating Company, Miller Warehouse, M&M Golf Cars, Columbia Basketball Officials Association, 1961 Bulldogs, Missouri Sports Hall of Fame, and Pearl Motors.

The iPhone is pretty much the top-selling phone on every wireless carrier it has launched on. No news there. The extent of its lead may not be known, however. Below, we discuss how far ahead the iPhone 4S is pulling and how a study shows that wealthy smartphone owners are more likely to own an iPhone.
iPhone outsells all other smartphones combined
According to a report by AllThingsD, the iPhone 4S is selling so well on AT&T and Sprint that may be eclipsing sales of all other smartphones put together on the carriers. And at Verizon, its sales may be roughly equal to the combined total of the carrier's entire smartphone portfolio. These numbers are particularly crazy on Verizon, where the iPhone is one of the only top phones to lack 4G LTE connectivity. It seems that fast service just isn't as important as an Appley user experience. Samsung's Galaxy S II and Galaxy Nexus remains one of the top-selling phones outside of Apple. This begs the question: Does Apple need to put any effort into the iPhone at all? Even when they phone in a new model (literally and metaphorically), the thing seems to double in sales. Perhaps it's the rich people…More on that below.
Wealthy people prefer iPhone
A study has shown that wealthy people prefer the iPhone. Research by The Luxury Institute (via Reuters) studied app usage among those who earn at least $150,000 or more per year and found that 45 percent of those studied use the iPhone, followed by 35 percent with an Android device. This contrasts the nearly 50 percent market share for Android and 30 percent for iPhone among all smartphone owners. Wealthy people also tend to download more (80 percent have downloaded apps) and pay for more apps. No surprises there. They also tend to buy less games, but this could be due to the study's average age of 52 for those considered "wealthy." The study was conducted by polling 603 people whose average income was $295,000 and net worth was $2.8 million. It did not, however, study how much more popular Grey Poupon and Fig Newtons are among the wealthiest of our citizenry. Another lost opportunity…

Build an Online Store -- 2
Budget €30-250 EUR
We need help to establish our webshop in the wordpress platform, more precise woocommerce.
The aim of the webshop is to sell products made of barrels such as furniture, saunas etc. The webshop shall be established for the Austrian/German market, shall include 5 main categories and to be a responsive webshop. (Translation to German will be organized at the end).
I will summarize what we need from your side so we wouldn´t have any misunderstandings later :
Webshop (woocommerce) with 5 main categories, login possibility, so we can establish a costumer database for commercial purpose :
Home (with some general pictures, some text about the company and under this, a slideshow with some product pictures based on the tag that need to be changable and if you click the picture it will direct you on the product page);
Products (with subcategories) and the possibility for the costumers to write testimonials or rankings, or upload a picture with the color of the product that they want
Customize Orders (a small description from our side and a form where the costumer can put some details, his contact details and also upload some pictures\sketches )
Basket( what products you already have in your basket)
About us ( Details about the company and some subcategories with Term&Conditions etc).
It would be good to implement on the top of the right side a banner. so that customers can put their email for newsletters , special offers etc. and a slide show header with some category pictures
It will be necessary to edit some pictures , Ex: we have some pictures with a Sauna Barrel and others with some hot-tub and, both in different styles. It would be of advantage when the pictures appear in a similar look/size /design, including the logo;
Payment method : Paypal and Credit Card;
We want to get a notification email when somebody put an order and the costumer to get automatically an invoice.
And last but not least , we have bought a hosting with private ssl and dedicated ip to be used on the checkout page and we need that to be set up too.
Please tell me if you can fullfill our needs and if you have some additional questions.
I will prefer romanian/moldavians or Eastern Europeans but all the offers are welcome.
Thank you,
