COURT TO RULE ON CALIFORNIA GAY MARRIAGE BAN

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court is set to rule on Tuesday whether California's ban on gay marriage is constitutional in a case that is likely to lead to a showdown on the issue in the U.S. Supreme Court.

California joined the vast majority of U.S. states in outlawing same-sex marriage in 2008, when voters passed the ban known as Proposition 8.

The socially conservative vote by a state more known for hippies and Hollywood was seen as a watershed by both sides of the so-called culture wars, and two gay couples responded by filing the legal challenge currently making its way through the federal courts.

A federal judge in San Francisco struck down Proposition 8 in 2010, and gay marriage opponents appealed that ruling to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Regardless of how the 9th Circuit decides on Tuesday, opponents and supporters of same-sex marriage both have said they are ready to appeal the decision all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The three-judge 9th Circuit panel plans to release its decision at about 10 a.m. (1 p.m. EDT) on Tuesday. Even if the 9th circuit finds that gay marriage is legal in California, judges likely will put their ruling on hold pending further appeal.

The losing side could ask a larger 9th Circuit panel to hear the matter, or decide to appeal directly to the Supreme Court.

About 40 of the 50 U.S. states had outlawed gay marriage before aCalifornia state court ruled in 2008 that a ban was unconstitutional, leading to a summer of gay marriages. But California voters that November by decided to change the state constitution to limit marriage to a man and woman.

It provoked some gay rights activists to take a matter that had been waged on a state-by-state basis to federal court, essentially staking the entire agenda on one case. Republican Ted Olson and Democrat David Boies - attorneys who represented George W. Bush and Al Gore, respectively, in the legal case that decided the 2000 presidential election - joined forces to take on Proposition 8 in court.

The U.S. Supreme Court is seen as a more conservative body than the lower courts that have been considering the case. Should the high court eventually decide to hear the case, much may depend on Anthony Kennedy, a Republican-appointed justice who has written important pro-gay rights decisions but has not explicitly endorsed gay marriage.

Six states - New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and Iowa - allow gay marriage, as does Washington, D.C.

In addition, New Jersey and Washington state are considering legislation to legalize same-sex marriage, and gay rights activists in Maine say they plan to bring the issue to voters in a referendum in that state.

TAKE 100% RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR LIFE

If you want to be successful, you have to take 100% responsibility for everything that you experience in your life. This includes the level of your achievements, the result you produce, the quality of your relationships,the state of your health and your feelings-everything! Trust me it is not enough

In fact, most of us have been conditioned to blame something outside of ourselves for the part of our life we don’t   like. We blame our parents, our bosses, our friends, the media, our co-workers, our clients, our spouse, the weather, the economy, our astrological chart, and our lack of money-anyone or anything we can pin the blame on. We never want to look at where the real problem is –ourselves.

If you want be really successful and i know you do, and then you will have to give up complaining and take total responsibility for your life-that means all your results, both your successes and your failures.

YOU HAVE TO GIVE UP ALL YOUR EXCUSES

If you want to create the life of your dreams, then you are going to have to take 100% responsibility for your life as well. That means giving up all your excuses, all your victim stories, all the reasons why you can’t  and why you haven’t given  up until now, and your blaming of outside circumstances .you have to give them all up forever.

If something doesn’t turn out as planned, you will ask yourself ‘how did I create that? What was i thinking? What were my beliefs? What did I say or not say? What did I do or not do to create the result? How did I get the other person to act that way? What do I need to do differently next time to get the result I want?’’

In conclusion you have to regain control of your thoughts, your images, your dreams and daydreams, and your behavior, everything you think, say and do needs to become intentional and aligned with the purpose, your values and your goals!

Kobe Bryant's Wife files for Divorce

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, WE NOTED THAT Kobe Bryant's basketball career is in a state of flux WITH THE CLIPPERS SURGING TO WIN OVER FANS IN LOS ANGELES. NOW IT APPEARS AS IF HE HAS MORE IMPORTANT PERSONAL PROBLEMS TO WORRY ABOUT.

ACCORDING TO TMZ.COM, Kobe's wife Vanessa has filed for divorce:

VANESSA BRYANT FILED LEGAL DOCS FRIDAY AFTERNOON, CITING "IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES."

SOURCES CONNECTED WITH THE COUPLE TELL TMZ ... VANESSA -- WHO STUCK BY KOBE AFTER HE WAS CHARGED WITH SEXUALLY ASSAULTING A COLORADO WOMAN IN 2003 -- DECIDED TO END THE MARRIAGE BECAUSE SHE BELIEVES KOBE HAS BEEN UNFAITHFUL ... AGAIN.

AS ONE SOURCE PUTS IT, "SHE'S BEEN DEALING WITH THESE INCIDENTS FOR A LONG TIME AND HAS BEEN A FAITHFUL WIFE, BUT SHE'S FINALLY HAD ENOUGH," ADDING, "THIS ONE IS THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK." AND OUR SOURCES SAY ... KOBE "DESPERATELY" WANTS TO WIN VANESSA BACK AND WILL DO "WHATEVER IT TAKES" TO SAVE THEIR 10 1/2 YEAR MARRIAGE.

ACCORDING TO THE LEGAL DOCS, VANESSA IS ASKING FOR JOINT CUSTODY OF THEIR 2 DAUGHTERS -- 8-YEAR-OLD NATALIA AND 5-YEAR-OLD GIANA -- BUT VANESSA IS ASKING THAT KOBE GET VISITATION RIGHTS, WHICH MEANS SHE WANTS THE KIDS IN HER CARE MOST OF THE TIME.

ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, THE BRYANTS RELEASED A JOINT STATEMENT SAYING THEY "HAVE RESOLVED ALL ISSUES INCIDENT TO THEIR DIVORCE PRIVATELY WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL AND A JUDGMENT DISSOLVING THEIR MARITAL STATUS WILL BE ENTERED IN 2012."

THE COUPLE ALSO "ASK THAT IN THE INTEREST OF OUR YOUNG CHILDREN AND IN LIGHT OF THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY SEASON THE PUBLIC RESPECT OUR PRIVACY DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME."

Kobe Bryant DID NOT SPEAK TO REPORTERS AFTER THE LAKERS' FRIDAY SCRIMMAGE AT USC.

YOU CAN check out the official paperwork here IF YOU REQUIRE VERIFICATION. TMZ ALSO SAYS THE COUPLE HAS NO PRENUP, WHICH MEANS SHE IS ENTITLED TO HALF HIS NET WORTH. INTREPID CNBC SPORTS BUSINESS REPORTERestimates Bryant to be worth $360 million, SO WE COULD BE LOOKING AT A LENGTHY, COMPLICATED PROCESS.

I DON'T WANT TO SPECULATE TOO MUCH ABOUT THE EFFECT OF DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS ON KOBE, BUT THE LAKERS CERTAINLY DON'T NEED ANY MORE HASSLES RIGHT NOW IF THEY WANT TO COMPETE FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP THIS SEASON. WITH A NEW COACH, A NEW SYSTEM, SOME KEY PERSONNEL LOSSES, AND NOW THIS DIVORCE, THINGS KEEP GETTING MESSIER AT STAPLES CENTER.

 

World Shortest Woman!

NAGPUR, INDIA (AP) — A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT IN CENTRAL INDIA WAS RECOGNIZED AS THE WORLD'S SHORTEST WOMAN BY GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS ON FRIDAY AS SHE TURNED 18 AND SAID SHE HOPES TO EARN A DEGREE AND MAKE IT IN BOLLYWOOD.

JYOTI AMGE STOOD JUST 62.8 CENTIMETERS (24.7 INCHES) TALL — SHORTER THAN THE AVERAGE 2-YEAR-OLD — WHEN GUINNESS REPRESENTATIVESVISITING FROM LONDON MEASURED HER AT A CEREMONY ATTENDED BY ABOUT 30 RELATIVES AND FRIENDS IN THE TOWN OF NAGPUR, IN MAHARASHTRA STATE.

A TEARY-EYED AMGE, DRESSED IN ONE OF HER FINEST SARIS, CALLED THE HONOR AN "EXTRA BIRTHDAY PRESENT" AND SAID SHE FELT GRATEFUL FOR BEING SMALL, AS IT HAD BROUGHT HER RECOGNITION. AFTER RECEIVING A PLAQUE, SHE AND HER GUESTS CUT A BIRTHDAY CAKE.

"I HAVE PUT NAGPUR ON THE WORLD MAP. NOW EVERYONE WILL KNOW WHERE IT IS," SAID AMGE, WHO SAYS SHE DREAMS OF ONE DAY BECOMING A BOLLYWOOD FILM STAR AS WELL AS PURSUING A UNIVERSITY DEGREE AFTER SHE FINISHES HIGH SCHOOL THIS YEAR.

"I WANT TO BE AN ACTOR," SHE SAID.

SHE MEASURED 7 CENTIMETERS (2.76 INCHES) SHORTER THAN 22-YEAR-OLDAMERICAN BRIDGETTE JORDAN, WHO HAD HELD THE TITLE SINCE SEPTEMBER.

"JYOTI ENCOURAGES US ALL TO LOOK BEYOND MERE SIZE AND TO JUST CELEBRATE OUR DIFFERENCES," GUINNESS ADJUDICATOR ROB MOLLOY SAID.

THIS WAS NOT AMGE'S FIRST GUINNESS RECORD. UNTIL FRIDAY SHE WAS CONSIDERED THE WORLD'S SHORTEST TEENAGER, BUT IN TURNING 18 QUALIFIED FOR THE NEW TITLE. SHE HAS GROWN LESS THAN 1 CENTIMETER (0.4 INCH) IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, GUINNESS SAID IN A STATEMENT, AND WILL GROW NO MORE DUE TO A FORM OF DWARFISM CALLED ACHONDROPLASIA.

HER TEENAGE TITLE BROUGHT THE CHANCE FOR MULTIPLE GUINNESS-SPONSORED TRIPS TO JAPAN AND ITALY FOR TOURS AND MEETINGS WITH OTHER RECORD HOLDERS, SHE SAID.

THE TITLE OF SHORTEST WOMAN IN HISTORY CONTINUES TO BE HELD BY PAULINE MUSTERS, WHO LIVED IN THE NETHERLANDS FROM 1876 TO 1895 AND STOOD 61 CENTIMETERS (24 INCHES) TALL.
