"What a last two or three years Ashley Young's had," says Gary Neville as he walks across Moscow's Red Square ahead of England vs. Croatia in the World Cup semifinals.
"If you'd have said two or three years ago that Ashley would still be playing for [Manchester] United, let alone breaking back into the England team and playing really well as a left wing-back, it would have surprised everyone."
Neville, who played 602 times for United after making his debut against Torpedo Moscow in 1992, thinks he knows why.
"You have to remember that he's from good stock," he says. "If Sir Alex Ferguson signed you, then nine times out of 10 he got it right when it came to character. When you watch Ashley Young play, when you see him digging in, you see a determination and a character. You can see Jose Mourinho and Gareth Southgate using him for these reasons. He might not be everybody's perfect player, but he's had a really good tournament and he'll never let you down because you know exactly what you are going to get from him."
Young, who has taken England corners and free kicks, has faced competition from younger players.
"There was a point after the Colombia game where I thought England might bring Danny Rose back in for Ashley," says Neville, "but Gareth Southgate was right to stick with him because he had that continuity and momentum going."
Jesse Lingard is another Manchester United player who has had a successful World Cup.
"It pissed me off when United fans were giving Jesse stick two or three years ago," explains Neville. "Of course, you have to be of a certain standard to play for United and you can't be given a free ride. You will also be praised and criticised as a United player, but if you're a homegrown lad who has been at the club since 10, you deserve that little bit more grace and credit in the bank. There should be an acceptance that the kid has lived United, knows United and loves United.
"When I was at the club, I felt that the young lads were protected and given a bit more grace, that the signings which came in for big money were the ones who came with higher expectations and had to perform."
Jesse Lingard's World Cup performances for England have impressed Gary Neville.
Lingard, 25, is still improving.
"When you've come through the ranks you're not going to be perfect, you're not going to be ripe, you're going to be developing and it's going to take you two or three years," explains Neville of a process he's personally familiar with. "The same thing happened with Darren Fletcher, with me, with John O'Shea. Young players shouldn't be written off too quickly."
As scores of football fans from around the world call his name or ask for selfies by Lenin's Mausoleum, Neville is eager to stress the particular abilities of the young United winger.
"Jesse Lingard makes that many runs during a game that he would be a dream for his teammates to play with -- like if you're Harry Kane and you have Lingard running past you all the time. I always remember Ji-Sung Park at United. Everyone, including me, talks about [Wayne] Rooney, [Cristiano] Ronaldo and [Carlos] Tevez, but the missing cog was Ji-Sung Park -- or Owen Hargreaves in 2007-08. Without those type of players, you can't have balance. That's what Jesse brings. He's a fantastic player in terms of how he contributes to a team's dynamic. He's done really well in his World Cup. Gareth and Jose Mourinho deserve so much credit for the faith they've shown in Jesse.
"At United, there are more fashionable players like [Juan] Mata, [Anthony] Martial, Alexis Sanchez, [Marcus] Rashford, [Paul] Pogba or [Romelu] Lukaku. Yet Jesse is the one who makes the team play better."
Finalist Paul Pogba is another of the United players who've shone in Russia.
"Excellent," opines Neville. "It looks effortless for him; but at times when you watch him for United, it looks so easy for him, like he can do anything he wants. The issue at United is that if you're the poster boy and the team is not successful or doing well and you are the most expensive player -- and you also give it a bit like he does -- then you are going to get some stick. If you were David Beckham or Wayne Rooney and not doing well while you were doing TV adverts, then you are going to get some stick. It was probably the same for George Best, but everyone only remembers the good bits. I'd have France as 70/30 favourites."
United's England players reached the semifinals, as did their Belgians Marouane Fellaini and Romelu Lukaku.
"People think only Jose Mourinho picks Fellaini-type players, yet Roberto Martinez, with a clear football philosophy, picks him," states Neville. "Louis van Gaal picked him, David Moyes too. If Fellaini's in a pool of four or five midfielders then there's not an issue; the problem comes if he's number one on the team sheet. He's not a player for every game. There are games where you would pick him and games where you wouldn't. The issue at United is that it has been a struggle in central midfield for the last five years or since Paul Scholes retired. [Bastian] Schweinsteiger, Fellaini, [Ander] Herrera, [Morgan] Schneiderlin, Pogba -- none of them have settled into the midfield. They've all been individually good players, but none of them have grabbed the midfield and made a partnership."
Seven United players will be in Russia until Sunday. Commitments for their country mean they've already missed the start of preseason for their club. They'll be reintroduced at various stages of the preseason before the first Premier League game against Leicester City on Aug. 9. They'll also hope to continue in the same form they've shown in Russia.


This page is a continuation from the 'What People Are Saying About Christopher' section.
Just a quick "thank you" and a "God Bless You" from the bottom of my heart... I appreciate your time with me today and the words you spoke that confirmed what I know deep inside. The message from my mother brought me so much peace and I will speak to her even more now. I've only had one other reading done in my entire life so choosing you was based upon listening to you share on Blog Talk and feeling the nudge to schedule a reading with you. I'm glad you're back and I'll be looking forward to hearing you on the "radio".
Thank you so much for your time to do my past lives reading. I always wanted to know what the main purpose of this life was. It was such an honor to know that I was a healer in 11 of my past lives. Thank you again and hope you had a happy weekend.
Christopher's good! Tell Christopher thanks~amazing. He's incredible!!
Just lettng you know that I enjoy your podcasts and will start listening to your broadcast immediately. Your devotion to others is evident in these podcasts and has drawn me in. Thank you.
Since adding Christopher to my favorites on BlogTalkRadio, I don't even remember where or why I put him on my favorites lists but I have consistently missed the show. Today, I missed the show again but decided to go to the archive just to check him out. At one point Christopher hesitated saying he had gone over this information so many times and was concerned that people would be bored. I know he doesn't need validation but I felt compelled, perhaps it was the nudging of my guide whom i have recently had a somewhat staticy connection with, decided to go ahead and send this email. I have been stuck for two years, it's a long story but suffice to say i have been blocked from being able to do anything in my life. It's circumstances outside of my control (immigration laws, husbands workplace injury, etc) A year ago I emotionally just gave up and recently have been considering physically giving up. It's been a long hard 50 year road for me and I am just tired. Christopher today I listened to your show and you have given me a different perspective to my situation. Perhaps I did ask or rather demand for changes to come into my life before I knew I was ready and now had to sit back and wait for the time line to catch up. I believe this is my last trip here and that is why I have had sooooo many hoops and hurdles to navigate. Well for whatever it's worth I believe that is why you were asked to repeat so many of your thoughts.
Just wanted to mention in a reading I had with you on 14 May 2009. You said my Dad's Spirit Guide warned of his heart problems. He had a heart attack six weeks ago (he survived it but required 6 bypasses in open heart surgery). It has been quite the ordeal for him. You were spot on.
Hi Christopher, Just thought you'd like to know you were right again (as usual! LOL) You had told me my nephew and wife would have a boy - today the ultra sound shows it is indeed a boy to be born in November. He will be named Adam. They are thrilled! It has been so long and they were told she had a medical condition that would prevent her from getting pregnant. George is the oldest of the grandkids.
I am going to Big Bear California. I will have internet access up there and will check out your twitter updates. I thought you would like to know that you predicted me going on this trip from a past reading months ago!
I was very much impressed with your reading and wanted to take time to send my great hugs of thanks. There were details you mentioned (I never told you) that surprised me greatly. The part where you said 'to allow him to lead and not pressure him' which I have done in the past. Now it makes sense with your reading! God bless and again, many thanks!!!
I am thanking God everyday, that he sent me such a wonderful people like you are, to see the whole Truth of the Universe and to be awaken. I wish everybody can understand what our Father God wants for us.
Thank you so very much for my reading. I felt as if you had known me my whole life. It validated a lot of my health issues that I've been going through. I am a 4 yr. breast cancer survivor. Everyday is a special gift to me. Thank you again for such a insightful reading. God bless you.
Thank you so much for my past life reading, you have helped very much. I would like to thank YOU, I am more at ease after reading what you wrote. I will be contacting you again soon as I have a few more questions to ask you. Have a great day and blessings to you and your family. Take Care & a big Thank YOU!
Christopher, thank you for your precise answers in regards to my job. You were absolutely right. You prepared me. I hope one day I will be able to do something nice for you. You can never know how much I appreciate the warning for work and all of your guidance with everything else. This was one time in my life, that I did not let the job get the best of me. I was prepared thanks to you. I love you Christopher. You are a Saint. I mean that.
Let me just say, YOU ARE THE ONE PSYCHIC ON EARTH I TRUST, end of story!
I was so upset and desperate to speak with you, and once again you have come up with the facts, Thanks so much for a pormpt reply, and I appreciate your Friendship as ever.
The doctor did find a secondary infection in Bam Bam from all of the scratching of his face so you picked that up right, about the imbalance from germs/particles getting under the skin. He is on antibiotics..
I wanted to thank you from the depth of my heart for guiding me at every step. You are really a blessing. Thank you so much for encouraging and helping me out. I feel much stronger now. Thank you so much for your support. I don't know what I would do without you. God bless you!
I absolutely agree with you! You readings are always so helpful and you have such a compassionate way of delivering news, even when it feels bad. I thank you again for everything and for always being so kind, warm, and loving. Your reading has really lifted the clouds around me.
Your words regarding my daughter are so accurate. Thank you for my reading. You have confirmed what I already feel on many issues.
Thanks for your lovely email reading and guidance once again. It was extremely helpful. Your readings help me letting go of bad things. Sometimes, bad stuff tries to overcome my mind, but I read your readings again and again to stay calm, so I can keep moving. It has helped me tremendously. Thanks for being there. I do have made some changes recently. But, it would not be possible without your help.
I don't think that I thanked you so much for not only giving me a very hopeful reading for Jessica but also for taking time out of your already busy and filled life to help to heal my child. You are such a sweetheart and I love you a lot.
Thank you so much for your guidance. You are right about everything.
I dont know where to start, other then to say Thank you so very much for your honesty, insight, confirmation.
You are truly amazing and i thank the lord for sending you my way and also for allowing you to make such a tremendous difference in the lives of other. I feel like i have know you forever and i trust you with my life,So god bless you my dear friend and may your light always shine brightly and your heart be filled with peace, love and protecting. God bless you on your journey!
Thank you so much for the reading. My sister and I planned to write earlier but believe me, we were in a state of shock, "a good shock". We sat in stunned silence for several days mourning the time we have wasted and the sadness, deception and pain that has prevailed over us for too too long. We are cutting our ties with these people. You helped to validate all that we've been feeling for years and we both feel lighter, happier and FREE. Everything you communicated was dead on. Even the name of my grandmother. Christopher we can't thank you enough. We've wasted so much time and now we are free. God Bless and THANK YOU.
I trust your reading. It does resonate alot about what's happening in my life now.
Christopher-Thank you so very much. You always help ease pains and insecurities. Your healing and cleansing of my spirit is greatly appreciated and probably needed much more than I know. God bless and once again, thank you.
Thank you so much Christopher for helping me you have no idea how thankful I am of your time and your advice with my situation!!!! I really appreciate you taking the time from your busy schedule to email me back. Just wanted to say thank you again because you didn't have to help me further past my reading if you didn't want to, but you did.
Thank you SO MUCH for my reading. I needed to hear from you more than I even realized. I feel almost like I have a "second wind" again! And thank you also for the money blessing!
Thank you Christopher for giving me so much insight to my situation. You are amazing as well as compassionate.
Hi Christopher, thank u so much for the reading. very spot on!!
No need to apologize for the bluntness. The truth is always preferable to sugar-coated lies. Anyways, after all these years, it no longer hurts and I won't be investing any significant energy on it. Just wanted confirmation. Thank you so much!
Thanks you so much! You are a very gifted psychic. Thanks for your time!
Thank you again for such a thorough and meaningful reading. You have provided me with a lot of food for thought and action.
Thank you very much for your powerful reading. You have certainly validated many of the things I have been feeling, and am grateful to you for including Jamey in your prayers. I know that there is an ordeal in front of me but am very relieved to hear from you that it isn't likely to remove the possibilities I have to help others in the mental health field.
Just wanted to thank Christopher for being there to answer my spiritual questions. Hes really right on about the stuff going on in my life its crazy! Its always great that i can come to him and he'll know how to help and he gives good advice too! Thanks and I'll patiently and excitedly wait for my reading!
Thank you for showing me that life is a journey and we all have to follow our own journeys and no one's journey is the same! I feel so good on making that decision and realizing it! When your choice feels good, its means its the right choice!!!!
Thank you Christopher I truly do mean what I say, I send you endless hugs and love, you are really a very special person who means a lot to me, and has helped me TREMENDOUSLY!!!! I just wish that I could reciprocate to you what you have done for me.
I just had to email you again Christopher and tell you again and thank you for having your Blog radio shows that I am listening to now every week. I truly do believe that it is your shows that have changed me spiritually. I feel a peace from within that Ive not felt before. I feel as though I am in touch with my spirit guide and dont have this fear anymore of feeling alone, as I know now that I am not spiritually. This has also helped my negative thinking significantly as well. I have told many friends about this change that I have been feeling and also have told them how and why they have changed. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend.
Here is the thing about Christopher Reburn. I have known him for years now. He is my friend and the person I trust most in the world to help me thru life's difficulties. The 1st question I ever asked Christopher was about my soulmate. Christopher validated (not that I needed him to, but it sure felt nice!) that "Yes" he was my soulmate, and he elaborated beautifully on what my future would be like with this man. He was as right as rain. He also told me that I came here this lifetime to write as an author. My 1st book was released in August 2008 and I am currently writing the 2nd, 3rd and 4th books are on the way. He has been a blessing to me every single second and his predictions have come true. He was there when my Mom passed, describing exactly what happened when she crossed over. I saw the same things myself, so I knew he was right. I never doubted him and I never will. Christopher has a rare spirit and gift to help people. I have seen him help anyone and everyone. He works tirelessly for those in need. Christopher changed my life, he created someone who had confidence where there was a little girl shaking with fear. Christopher can't help you if you aren't willing to put in the work. No matter who you go to for spiritual help, you are the captain of your own ship and only you can make final decisions. Christopher is there to offer psychic insights and spiritual guidance, not to rule your life. As far as $ goes, I think he is worth every single dime and much lower than other well known psychic mediums. Thank you. Nancy Howry.
To me, Christopher represents a new way of perceiving my own spirituality. He has expanded my mind and given me the ability to see things apart from my old 'tunnel vision'. I did tell Christopher that I believed meeting him was in 'my plan' all along - it was meant to be. Of course, he resisted accepting that accreditation. Regardless, I believe it and therefore, his friendship means so much to me. I'm blessed he shares his abilities the way he does but even more so I'm impressed that someone so talented (and accurate) is genuinely sweet, caring, and humble. I have no doubt my life will be better through his insights and guidance. He is truly a very special person. S.
I've had readings with you, six to be exact. You gave me information in one of them in reference to the location of my birth mother. Well, last Saturday 10/5/08 I found her to be living in New Hampshire. Depending on the location in Cape Cod (as the entire area around the bay is referred to as "Cape Cod"), that would make the distance that you gave in the reading to be approximately within 80-110 miles of her exact location. I would consider that to be a very good and highly accurate "hit".
Hi Christopher, Thank you for reading for me so quickly! I do thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have had other readings with other psychic mediums but I never felt any of it to be true. I have to tell you that something just kept taking me back to you! M.
Thank you so much for your insightful reading! I am so much more motivated to keep going and follow my dreams. You were right on the money about my heart being in a different place, career wise. It has been for a while now. I liked the fact that you were honest. Thank you and God Bless, J. PS. You have a great assistant in Pam. Very patient with those of us eager for our readings!
Thank you so very much......you are very accurate!!! You truly have a gift and I always try to be positive and will definitely take your guidance. I will also refer people to you and will talk with you further if I need advice as I progress. R.
Thank you so much for your guidance. Your reading gave me so much peace today. I am glad that I have met you in my life. You are such a beautiful spiritual being. I enjoy listening to your shows, live sometimes, and sometimes at archives. I will be joining them live from now on whenever possible. I look forward to them. You have cleared a lot of confusion in my mind about life and spirituality. Now, I am feeling that I have begun to understand the complex chemistry of life, and why certain things happen in our lives. I am also getting back to my regular prayers and meditation routine from today, and will fast also. It has a miraculous effects on my soul, and I feel the effects right away. Bless you with happiness and guidance. You are a great blessing for people to have in their lives. S.
I took a day to respond back to you, because I have been in total awe of your reading this time. Its been incredibly accurate. This has been the most accurate reading I've ever gotten in my life!!! WOW! Every single thing you've said is so true, so very true. Your reading couldn't have come at a more perfect time for me emotionally. You have no idea how relieved I am! Thank you. K.
Thank you so much Christopher. You have been not only an amazing psychic but a friend that I will always cherish. You are a blessing to me. J.
Thank you. I do write and have self published three books. I love to travel, so I am kinda hoping that either or both will come together. You are spot on with my eldest son. He is very concerned about other people and a natural councilor. You have been amazingly accurate. So thank-you once again. G.
I had to write you back because I am so excited that I was able to validate something so quickly. You mentioned the word "Pengrowth." In my city, the Pengrowth Saddledome is the main indoor arena here. You also mentioned some sort of racing event with cars and trucks and meeting the first week of March. Well, I found out that from Feb 29-Mar 2 the US Hot Rod Monster Jam will be held there. Thanks! A.
Thank you so much for such a lovely and deeply spiritual reading. I don't know how to say thank you to you. I really dont have suitable words. Probably you can feel that. My heart is at so much peace now with the things that happened in the past. I really can forgive people whom I need to forgive now. Thanks. S.
I had two readings with you, one in February and one in March. I wanted you to know just how much your readings have affected my life in a positive way.
I just wondered if you would pass on an almighty thank you to Christopher as he has gave me the will to go on! I cant believe how accurate he was, and the insight he knew. You dont know how much that reading meant to me, i read it over and over and the tears were streaming. Thank you and god bless you for renewing my faith in Spirit. L.
And once again Chris was oh so right!!! My guy smiled and waved like crazy at me today!!! I told him my feelings towards him and said if he felt the same to keep waving at me and smiling and Id take that as a sign and he sure did this today!!! I cried all the way to work with tears of joy!!! Chris thank you so much you have no idea how much joy you showed me I was going to have in my life. You are my angel. May angels protect you.

The Secretary-General remains deeply concerned by the allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse of children by foreign military forces not under the command of the United Nations in the Central African Republic, and the United Nations system's response to these allegations.
The Secretary-General had previously announced his intention to set up a panel to conduct an External Independent Review into this matter.
He has, today, appointed the panel, which will be chaired by Marie Deschamps of Canada, a former Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. The other two members will be Hassan Jallow of the Gambia, the Prosecutor of the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), and Yasmin Sooka of South Africa, the Executive Director of the Foundation for Human Rights in South Africa.
The panel will review the United Nations response to the allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse of children by foreign military forces not under United Nations command and assess the adequacy of the procedures in place. This will include any allegations of abuse of authority or retaliation by senior officials. The panel may also look at any shortcomings in existing procedures covering serious crimes by United Nations and related personnel, host State forces and non-State actors that it may become aware of during its review.
The panel will conduct its work independently and will receive unrestricted access to all United Nations records and full access to staff members and other United Nations personnel. The United Nations will make its best efforts to facilitate the access of the panel to non-United Nations personnel. In addition to those that the panel may reach out to, any person who wishes to provide information relevant to the External Independent Review is encouraged to contact the panel directly through an external e-mail address that will be announced shortly.
The panel will begin its work in July and aim to submit its report within 10 weeks. The panel is also mandated to make recommendations on how the United Nations should respond to similar allegations in the future and on any shortcomings in existing procedures. The Secretary-General will make this report public, subject to due process and confidentiality considerations.

1.The Secretary-General is deeply concerned by the serious allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse and other serious crimes in the Central African Republic ("CAR") by members of foreign military forces not under the command of the United Nations (the "Allegations") and the United Nations system's own response to the Allegations. Without prejudice to the primary responsibility of Governments concerned to ensure criminal accountability of their military personnel who are under their exclusive criminal jurisdiction, the Secretary-General has decided to appoint an external independent panel to review how the United Nations, including its separately administered funds and programmes and other subsidiary organs, responded to such Allegations and to make recommendations concerning how the United Nations should respond to allegations in the future that may raise similar issues, including allegations involving United Nations and related personnel, host State forces or non-State actors in the CAR (the "External Review").
2.The External Review shall be conducted by a panel composed of three members, one of them appointed as Chair. Should the panel require external consultants to assist it with its work, the United Nations shall promptly engage such consultants in accordance with United Nations regulations and rules. The consultants shall be under the substantive authority of the panel.
Recommendations as to what steps can be taken to ensure that the Organization deals effectively and efficiently with future allegations that may raise similar issues. These recommendations shall take into account, as appropriate, considerations of capacity, resources, and other constraints.
4. The Allegations arise in the context of the conduct of members of foreign military forces not under the command of the United Nations. Allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse and other serious crimes by United Nations and related personnel, including military personnel under the unified command and operational control of the United Nations, are addressed through separate procedures.[i] If the panel, in the course of the External Review, becomes aware of shortcomings in the content or the implementation of existing procedures to address allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse and other serious crimes against United Nations and related personnel, including military personnel under the unified command and operational control of the United Nations, it shall make any recommendations it deems appropriate. Similarly, if the panel, in the course of the External Review, becomes aware of shortcomings in the content or the implementation of existing procedures to address allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse and other serious crimes against host State forces or non-State actors in the CAR, it shall make any recommendations it deems appropriate.
4.For the purpose of the External Review, the panel shall have unrestricted access to any United Nations records and information, written or otherwise, including any documents and other information collected or created by the Office of Internal Oversight Service (OIOS) in connection with the Allegations and any of its related investigations, to the extent consistent with OIOS' mandate.
6. For the purpose of the External Review, the panel shall have access to all United Nations staff members and other personnel, regardless of their seniority, who the panel considers to have pertinent information. In accordance with United Nations Staff Regulations and Rules, and administrative issuances, staff members shall cooperate with the panel and shall be accorded protection from retaliation resulting from such cooperation. The United Nations shall use its best efforts to facilitate the access of the panel to non-UN personnel.
7. The panel shall use its best efforts to submit a report to the Secretary-General within ten weeks after the commencement of its work. If the panel foresees a delay beyond ten weeks, a notice of at least three weeks before the target date will be given to the Secretary-General setting forth the grounds for the extension.
8. The report shall include a chronology of the facts, an assessment of such facts, a description of existing procedures as well as an assessment of such procedures. The report shall also include recommendations as to action to be taken to address any violations of United Nations regulations, rules or administrative issuances as well as recommendations to improve the manner in which allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse and other serious crimes are addressed in the future.
9. The report and related documents shall be the property of the United Nations. The Secretary-General will make the report public, subject to due process and confidentiality considerations. In addition, the Secretary-General may use the report, parts thereof or any information collected by the panel in any manner the Secretary-General considers to be in the interests of the United Nations.
10. The panel shall carry out its work impartially, objectively and without influence by any internal or external authority, regardless of their status.
11. The panel shall ensure that its External Review is conducted with strict regard for confidentiality, fairness and due process of all concerned, and, in respect of United Nations personnel, in accordance with applicable United Nations Staff Regulations and Rules and administrative issuances. All information collected during the course of the External Review shall be handled with confidentiality by the panel. Exceptions to confidentiality are made for exigent circumstances including safety and security, the proper administration of justice and to preserve the Secretary-General's discretion as set forth in paragraph 9. Moreover, any individual named in the report of the panel shall, wherever practicable, have been interviewed by the panel and been provided with an opportunity to provide information.

CHICAGO (AP) - A union representing graduate student employees at the University of Illinois at Chicago says they're staying on strike despite reaching a tentative contract agreement with the school.
The union announced Thursday night that the 3-year agreement will help ensure more financial stability for graduate workers. It says, however, the administration's bargaining team didn't have the authority negotiate on issues such as how graduate workers can make up lost pay for their time on strike.
The university confirmed to the Chicago Sun-Times that an agreement was reached but declined further comment.
The Chicago Tribune reports at least 550 classes taught by assistants were canceled from March 19 to March 22, early in the walkout by members of the Graduate Employees Organization.
The GEO represents more than 1,500 graduate and teaching assistants.


This is the Toyota Verso 2.0 D-4D TR, a Vauxhall Zafira or Renault Grand Scenic-rivalling seven-seat compact MPV.
An MPV made by Toyota is not exactly the first car you would associate with sportiness or exciting dynamics, but the success of the Ford S-Max and the VXR version of the Vauxhall Zafira means that every new MPV tries to sell itself as an exciting car as well as a practical one.
The new Toyota Verso is no exception. Sure, the packaging is as good as ever, with seven seats, a clever fold-flat system and all the usual cubbies, and its well built (although the construction of the centre console feels a little flimsy).
But unlike the Corolla-based Verso, the new car is built on a stand-alone platform (albeit one that has close links to the RAV4 and latest Avensis), which has a longer wheelbase, wider tracks and heavily revised suspension geometry.
Unfortunately for Toyota, the sporting angle is spoiled by an artificial feel to the steering, which makes it difficult to guide along a twisty road with confidence. That's a shame, because the Verso grips well, the gearbox has a pleasant, if rather light, throw and the 229lb ft supplied by the refined 2.0-litre diesel hustles the Verso along at a reasonable pace.
On the plus side, driving enjoyment isn't key to a compact MPV, so the fact that the Verso is a very comfy place for a long-distance journey helps to make up for the slight disappointment of the car's uninvolving B-road performance. Aside from a wind rustle from the door mirrors, the Verso is an exceptionally refined cruiser, while its ability to quietly smother the worst road scars of our Portuguese test route is impressive.
Take the new Verso as a fine, refined family car and it will impress, but if you expect it to be fun to drive you'll be a tad disappointed. If it wasn't for the existence of the Ford S-Max (which, although bigger, can be had in 1.8TDCi form for around the same price as a mid-spec Toyota Verso), this wouldn't be a problem, but Ford has raised the bar when it comes to driving fun in MPVs, so now everybody has to play catch up. The Toyota Verso included.
Judging by Toyota's recent offerings, it was never going to be sporty and involving. It's a shame really considering the products they used to produce.
MPV's are rarely interesting but my god did they go out of their way to may this dull?
Not the best first drive report. Most of it concentrated on the cars driving dynamics, I have no idea whether the interior is in any way flexible, can I remove the seats, does it have any cleaver interior innovations. I have to this day never seen a people carrier being hustled along at any sort of pace, thats not why people buy them. I know its a refined cruiser but again this is largely not what MPV's do Come on Matt, think about the audience for this car and maybe update with a few of your notes in these areas.
Looks quite good - for a Toyota. Which isn't saying much. I like the whacky instruments though.
The previous model had a really nice dashboard with a sort of blue perspec finish to the stereo. This just looks thrown together with little thought. Why do facelifts rarely improve a cars styling inside or out?
Quite the opposite infact the interior is really well put together and thought out.
Overall a very nice package.

Daniel 7: The Kingdom and the Saints
Audio, Sermons
7 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head as he lay in his bed. Then he wrote down the dream and told the sum of the matter. 2 Daniel declared,[a] "I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea. 3 And four great beasts came up out of the sea, different from one another. 4 The first was like a lion and had eagles' wings. Then as I looked its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and the mind of a man was given to it. 5 And behold, another beast, a second one, like a bear. It was raised up on one side. It had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, 'Arise, devour much flesh.' 6 After this I looked, and behold, another, like a leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back. And the beast had four heads, and dominion was given to it. 7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, terrifying and dreadful and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces and stamped what was left with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8 I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
9 "As I looked,
thrones were placed,
and the Ancient of Days took his seat;
his clothing was white as snow,
and the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames;
its wheels were burning fire.
10 A stream of fire issued
and came out from before him;
a thousand thousands served him,
and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him;
the court sat in judgment,
and the books were opened.
11 "I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
13 "I saw in the night visions,
and behold, with the clouds of heaven
14 And to him was given dominion
and glory and a kingdom,
that all peoples, nations, and languages
that shall not be destroyed.
15 "As for me, Daniel, my spirit within me[b] was anxious, and the visions of my head alarmed me. 16 I approached one of those who stood there and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of the things. 17 'These four great beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth. 18 But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, forever and ever.'
19 "Then I desired to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was different from all the rest, exceedingly terrifying, with its teeth of iron and claws of bronze, and which devoured and broke in pieces and stamped what was left with its feet, 20 and about the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn that came up and before which three of them fell, the horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke great things, and that seemed greater than its companions. 21 As I looked, this horn made war with the saints and prevailed over them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 "Thus he said: 'As for the fourth beast,
there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth,
which shall be different from all the kingdoms,
and it shall devour the whole earth,
and trample it down, and break it to pieces.
24 As for the ten horns,
out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise,
and another shall arise after them;
he shall be different from the former ones,
and shall put down three kings.
25 He shall speak words against the Most High,
and shall wear out the saints of the Most High,
and shall think to change the times and the law;
and they shall be given into his hand
for a time, times, and half a time.
26 But the court shall sit in judgment,
and his dominion shall be taken away,
to be consumed and destroyed to the end.
27 And the kingdom and the dominion
and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven
shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High;
his kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom,
and all dominions shall serve and obey him.'[c]
28 "Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly alarmed me, and my color changed, but I kept the matter in my heart."

Blue-Collar Catholics
(The first essay: The Remnant, 1990)
Blue-collar Catholics were left in the lurch by the Second Vatican Council reformation. The Council was an affair of and for the Catholic intelligentsia, that is the episcopate and the theologate, who sought to develop a Christian-humanism in response to the academic challenges of a hostile secular intelligentsia. In doing so this Catholic elite flagrantly disregarded the sensibilities of the ordinary Catholic faithful, and foolishly, if not insidiously, afforded the secular rapacious access to the sacred.
The Second Vatican Council was properly termed pastoral since it did not define dogma – its specific concern being pastoral theory. Nevertheless, the highly intellectual and theoretical nature of its pastoral documents made it difficult, and verifiably dangerous, to translate the Documents into actual pastoral practice.
Yet it is not merely a case of the Documents being theologically technical that renders them difficult to convey. For the Council of Trent, being dogmatic in nature, was much more technical than Vatican II, yet it was still easily applicable to the laity by way of the catechism.
The impracticality of the Vatican II Documents stems from their being theoretical in construct, but pastoral in subject matter. This combination resulted in Documents deficient in solid theological premises. This deficiency necessarily results in a dearth of conclusive pastoral prescription. So while the Documents transmit broad theological theory, they suffer from lack of theological definition and pastoral mandate.
The remedy for this deficiency is to construe the Documents in the context of holy Tradition, as the Council Fathers intended. Still the premising of the Documents with past doctrinal conclusions is a formidable task and, as the Holy Father repeatedly indicates, has not really been tried. Indeed, often the Council as implemented has either been given an inordinate supremacy over past magisterial pronouncements, or been totally isolated from then.
So even though the Council was not dogmatic, it still had the unintended effect of destabilizing the pre-existing dogma or the Church. This destabilization, along with the difficulty, and hence delay, of readily implementing the pastoral theory of the documents, left a dangerous void in the post-conciliar Church; a void soon filled by secular-humanism.
Secular-humanism's infiltration should not have been an interrupted one. Indeed the Council's agenda of aggiornamento (updating) was meant to be a response to the increasing estrangement of the Church and the world. This estrangement was clearly recognized by the Council Fathers to be caused by secular-humanism, but instead of attacking secular-humanism, the Council chose to deal with it on secular-humanism's own terms; hence it answered with a supposedly compatible Christian humanism.
The term secular-humanism is aptly joined by a hyphen, for in reality the component concepts are difficult to separate; a difficulty that can be witnessed by the failed attempt to humanize the Church without secularizing her. Under the humanistic aegis of the Council, the secular gained plunderous access to the "inner chambers" of the Church. This secular infiltration has been partially checked only by the solid core of indefectible and immutable Dogma.
The Church intelligentsia, via the Council, responded well on an academic and theoretical plane to secular-humanism; but in doing so sacrificed aspects and attitudes of the Faith that, though not essential to doctrinal definition, are indispensible for the sense of orthodoxy to survive in the realm of the blue-collar Catholic.
The Council Fathers failed by omission. What should have been a call for an intensification of a militant spirit and re-affirmation of Catholic identity via reform, was instead a de facto surrender of all that wasn't technically necessary for the Faith; necessary, that is, on the intellectual plane, on the blackboard of theology. Unfortunately, that which was not technically necessary for the theologian/reformer was still very necessary for the blue-collar Catholic.
In fact, as the world grew increasingly hostile, it became increasingly urgent for the Faithful to have strong counter-cultural guidelines of orthodoxy. Instead, they received a "purified (theologians call it demythologized, secularists call it de-mystified) version of the Faith.
Such a "purification" is most obvious and devastating in the area of liturgical reform, since here resides the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass; which is not only the heart of the Church, but also her most visible and influential means of transmitting the Faith (hence also the most effective means of "destroying' the Faith). For the vast majority of Catholics the Liturgy remains their only official contact with the Church; being both their primary source of grace and religious instruction.
As the reforms were implemented a liturgical spectacle was witnessed: man was raised from his knees and the prie-dieu, to his, that is, her toes, and the liturgical pirouette; while God was cast-down from high altar and relegated to our Lady's niche or some obscurer corner. An inevitable crisis of faith resulted as Catholic truths, in domino effect, were confused or lost; truths that range from the sublimity of the Real Presence to the duty of familial roles.
Blue-collar Catholics need cultural-structures. They are unable to breathe the rarified air of the professional theologian; who has had the luxury of acclimating himself in a leisurely and protected life of study. When the blue-collar Catholic saw his cultural structures come tumbling down in apparent concession to secularism, he too, for the most part, dropped his guard in confusion, and slowly surrendered.
The traditional truths of the Faith that were once contained in now shattered cultural-structures (an iconoclasm supposedly justified under aggiornamento), became increasingly vague as a hostile secularity began to permeate. Indeed, inexplicably there were no cultural-structures foreordained to replace the shattered ones; so secularism and its culture filled the void, with the resulting trivialization and de-sacralization of the Church.
The new cultural-structures of the post-conciliar liturgical reform have miserably failed to transmit the traditional truths of the Faith; truths that were so pristinely preserved and clearly conveyed in the pre-Vatican II Church. One is forced to ask in a retrospective look at the reform, "Why fix it, if it isn't broken?" Or more aptly, "Why break it, if you can't fix it?"
The Documents characteristically placed emphases on embracing the world and on the dignity of man. Though these are valid elaborations on aspects of the Faith, they are, nonetheless, devoid of what blue-collar Catholics at the time of the Council really needed, and still need: a strong sense of Catholic orthodoxy; clear lines of demarcation between the Church and the world; and a renewed sense of identity, mission, and militancy. In short an increased immunity to the secular, and reaffirmation of the sacred.
As a result of the Church's secular saturation via humanism, a new breed of Catholic has emerged: one eager to entertain and comfort himself with his religion, but unwilling to respond to the prod of the sacred; and therefore unwilling to carry his cross and fulfill his Christian duties (witness the dearth of vacations in relation to the number of claimed Catholics). The church, at least the popular Church, has opted for what is comfortable to man, and rejected that which conforms man to God.
At the call of the Council there was little quantifiable evidence of a weakened Catholicism on the grass roots level; quite the opposite, the numbers indicate that, for the most part, it was thriving. The "crisis" of faith appears to have been endemic to the Catholic intelligentsia; who were beingchallenged by the intelligentsia of secular-humanism (e.g. Marx, Nietzsche, Freud). And herein lies the most disturbing aspect of the reformation: in "humanizing and purifying" the Faith in accord with their needs and elitist vision, the reformers brazenly disregarded the sensibilities and needs of the Catholic Faithful; even while they claimed to be the most egalitarian of reformers.
This elitism was of a new kind for the Church. It is akin to clericalism, but different in that its insolence derives not from an abuse of priestly power, but from an assumed intellectual superiority. The reformers felt justified then, indeed mandated, to impose their supposedly superior vision of the Faith upon the intellectually inferior – would they say superstitious? – blue-collar Catholic. This imposition of an elitist vision of the Faith upon a completely orthodox, universal, and traditionally entrenched manifestation of the Faith, is unprecedented in Church history. This audacious disregard for Catholic culture and sensibilities is the most disturbing aspect of the post-conciliar reformation.
There are orthodox and honest men, who neither desire the devastation of the Church, nor dismiss it (as modernists and optimists, respectively, are apt to do); who, nonetheless, wish to defend and applaud the conciliar reforms as just the right medicine for the Church. These men often claim that the rapid post-conciliar breakup of the Church was proof of the urgent need for reform; that if the Faith was authentic and strong in the pre-conciliar Church it would not have succumbed so easily to secularism.
But such an explanation doesn't alter the post-conciliar devastation, nor lessen the accountability of those in command during it. For the episcopate of the Church, in harmony with the Lord's plea to "lead us not into temptation", has the grave duty and trust to preserve their flocks faith, not to test it.
It can be safely said that the Council Fathers erred by omission; that they failed to take pre-emptive measures to protect their charges from the ravages of post-conciliar havoc and confusion. Without daring to impute personal culpability, it is still imperative that the Fathers, as a command element, accept responsibility here and now for the errors that were brazenly perpetuated in their name.

This evening I stumbled across a few photos of our mast step replacement project in Ensenada back in 2004, a pleasant surprise because I thought we had lost them all.
Original mast step, looking forward from and into the bilge.
The mast step on the Mason 43 (at least on ours) was very poorly made. I refrain from saying poorly "designed," for the drawings by the naval architect show something quite different. But the actual construction was remarkably inept, consisting of a pad made of few layers of plywood supported and raised above a drainage channel (and drainage pipe) by thin supports on either side, all encased in fiberglass. Evidently, the idea was to give the boat all the weaknesses of deck-stepped mast and none of the advantages.
Water had found its way from the mast into the mast step, leading to the delamination of the plywood. We discovered the problem in Ensenada, Mexico when we noticed our slack rigging. Needless to say, we were quite distressed, all the more so because the boat was new to us.
Moreover, Ensenada lacked any good options for pulling the mast. Fortunately we had become friends with crew on Infinity, a 120' ferro-cement ketch whose skipper/owner was busy gutting and rebuilding his boat while at anchor in the Ensenada harbor. He not only offered us space on his boat to build a new mast step but also convinced us that we could lift the mast using his mizzen. He also had all the materials I needed for the job (if I recall correctly, in exchange I built an instrument panel for his engine). The lifting operation seemed a little dicey to me, but we decided to give it go. Over the next while, I built our new and much improved mast step. Then, after choosing a proper weather window, we rafted up to Infinity and raised the mast just enough so that we could set it on the cabin sole. We moved our little family (me, two-year-old Lola, and pregnant Michelle) aboard Infinity. Then after we sealed off all the cupboards and lockers, I ground out the old mast step and epoxied the new mast step into place. For us it was a major victory over a potentially major problem. And it was fun, demonstrating what one could accomplish with a few friends.

WHICH CEDAR COLOR IS BEST FOR ME?
New wood or gracefully aged? Here's help deciding.
The beauty of Beach House Shake is its power to stop time. Each one of the four colors captures and preserves a perfect moment forever: the day eastern white cedar is installed, western red cedar on day one, and the graceful weathering of eastern white in two different coastal climates. But which of those four moments in time is best for your home? Which one is a true reflection of your design style? If you're on the fence, here's some advice.
When to go for the new wood look
Nowhere in nature does wood retain its fresh, newly cut look for all time, but you can achieve the impossible with Beach House Shake's Pacifica and Sandcastle shades.
Pacifica, which replicates the look of freshly cut western red cedar, is a natural fit for Craftsman-inspired homes. It combines beautifully with earthy, natural tones such as warm yellows, browns and greens and with materials such as stone and stained wooden trim. The red tone of Pacifica makes it a bold color, but the fact that it harkens back to ancient Pacific forests makes it timeless rather than trendy. Whether Pacifica is installed in gable ends or across entire walls, it evokes the beauty of the north-west. You can have your cabin in the woods, wherever your home is located.
Sandcastle, on the other hand, is a day at the beach. It matches the look of freshly installed eastern white cedar and looks stunning on full walls and entire homes, but can also be used to bring light and attention to architectural details such as gable ends. The color is bright. The statement is "I'm new." And you'll never have to do any work to keep your home looking that way. Sandcastle pairs beautifully with white trim, giving the feeling of the first day of vacation (minus the unpacking).
When to go for gray
Over time, natural eastern white cedar weathers to a rich gray that is found on older homes, particularly in coastal environments. Our newest shade, Atlantica, captures the silvery gray commonly found in New England, New Jersey and Delaware. The deeper gray found cladding beautiful homes further south along the Atlantic coast, such as on North Carolina's Outer Banks, was the inspiration behind our darker gray shade, Hatteras.
Use gray as a color for exterior cladding when you want to confer a sophisticated, established feeling to your home. It's an excellent choice for new homes that have been built to replicate the charm of a late-1800s farmhouse, a Cape Cod beach house, or a Victorian- or Edwardian-era home. Gray is also perfect for homes that actually date from the turn of the 20th century or earlier because it's historically accurate.
But gray is much more than a historical color. It's also an on-trend hue that shows no sign of diminishing in popularity. Neutral but never boring, it coordinates well with black as a roof color and white or black as window and trim colors.
If you're a design purist with a home in either New England or the mid-Atlantic, your best bet is to choose the gray of your climatic zone: Atlantica for the more northern areas and Hatteras for further south.
If you've decided on gray because it complements other exterior design elements of your home, the shade you choose will be more a matter of the colors you need to work with and the look you want to achieve. Darker Hatteras will be dramatic when paired with white trim and windows. The look of Hatteras will likely be more subdued with black trim and windows. The reverse is true with silvery Atlantica: pair it with white and the look will be more homogeneous. Pair it with black and the colors will pop.
If you're unsure of your taste when it comes to building exteriors, it can help to think about your style as it relates to something you're more familiar with, such as clothing or furniture. Do you lean towards natural colors? Do you go for drama? All four of the Beach House Shake shades are "natural," but can feel more or less bold depending on the colors of the materials they're mixed with. Start a Pinterest board and look for similarities in the images you're pinning—that's a sign that you've hit on your aesthetic. You can also go to an area with homes similar to yours. What color combinations are you drawn to? What combinations can you rule out? If you find yourself still unsure, you can also enlist the help of a designer. Your Beach House Shake shade will never fade, darken or otherwise change, so it's a decision you'll want to get right.

Look at the installed programs in your computer and start by deleting any application you've used in the past, but don't need anymore. Now write down the programs that you are using. If you have two or more applications of the same type write down only your favorite. Underline the ones that are not free.
Now you have a general view of all the software you have, both free and paid.
For each paid program you have installed, search for free alternatives. You might find it hard to choose one so to ease up the process, read some reviews and study the features and drawbacks of each program. This might seem complicated, but it's actually not. Any good application has been reviewed at least a few times on well-known websites. If you can't find any reviews for a program it means it's not trustworthy or it's very new.
A good review should include the program's features and issues/bugs (if any), some screenshots with the UI and system requirements (so you can be sure it works on your computer).
If for example you need a powerful image editing application and the free ones you've tried are just not enough in terms of functionality it's OK to say no to freeware and buy the application you need. The same goes for the cases when you have a paid program but can't find a viable alternative at all.
Other than that, when you do find a free app to replace a paid one do not hesitate to do so. Even replacing 5 programs can save you a great deal of money. Some programs even have a yearly license renewal (in that case you'll be saving even more money).
Finding free applications shouldn't be a problem. There are numerous websites that offer free software downloads and even the trial versions of paid applications, all legally of course. A simple search on the Internet will reveal dozens of them. Just be careful to download the original setup file, as some websites wrap applications in their own installers, which also include toolbars, search engines and other third-party applications.
When you finish analyzing your software list, and made the possible replacements sum up the license costs of the commercial apps you are not using anymore to see how much money you managed to save.
If you want easy access to thousands of free software downloads, visit our website. With a user-friendly layout, here you can find anything from the most popular freeware applications to professional software.


In Texas, it is against the law to knowingly or negligently expose another person to a sexually transmitted disease (STD) or sexually transmitted infection (STI) without their consent. A person who knowingly or negligently gave AIDS or another serious STD to their partner could face very serious criminal charges and substantial civil liability.
If you believe that you were intentionally or negligently infected with an STD, you may be eligible to recover financial compensation from the offender. These are complex legal cases — plaintiffs need to obtain professional representation immediately. At DC Law, our Austin, TX STD lawyers are strong advocates for injured victims. Please do not hesitate to contact our law firm for strictly confidential legal guidance.
To hold another party legally liable for causing a physical injury — including a sexually transmitted disease — a plaintiff must prove that the defendant was negligent or that they intentionally caused harm. In AIDS/STD contraction cases, there are two separate types of claims that can be filed against the alleged preparator.
If the victim believes that they were exposed to a serious STD as a result of the negligent conduct of their former partner, they can file a personal injury lawsuit under Texas's comparative negligence statute (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. §§ 33.001-33.017). Through a personal injury claim, plaintiffs can seek to hold negligent defendants legally responsible for their damages.
If the victim believes that they were intentionally infected with AIDS or another STD, then the best remedy may be to file a civil battery claim. In many ways, these claims are similar. Though, with a civil battery claim, the victim (plaintiff) will be required to establish that the defendant intentionally infected them with the disease. In this circumstance, there may also be a concurrent criminal case.
Civil STD claims are deeply complex. There are many issues that must be considered and resolved. Most notably, the plaintiff must be able to present evidence that establishes liability. Proving that another party actually gave you a sexually transmitted disease is not sufficient to prove that they are legally responsible for your injuries. Negligence or intentional misconduct must be established. Compensation may be available for the full value of the victim's damages, potentially including medical bills, medication costs, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
At DC Law, our compassionate Austin, TX AIDS/STD lawyers fight aggressively to protect the legal rights of our clients. We understand the sensitivity that is required to handle these emotionally difficult legal cases.
Our law firm is committed to full confidentiality. To arrange a free, fully private review of your claim, please do not hesitate to contact our law firm by calling 512-220-1800 or reaching out to us directly through our website.

Bill On Lottery Disclosure Advances
Tuesday, February 27th 2007, 5:28 pm
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) The Oklahoma Senate passed a bill on Tuesday that will allow winners of lottery jackpots to remain anonymous if they are members of a trust, but their names must be disclosed to the Oklahoma Lottery Commission.
Also under the bill, trust members must pay any back taxes or child support payments. Some lawmakers say current state law not does not provide for enough accountability to the public in how trusts are regulated.
The Senate also approved a measure to allow members of governmental entities to attend public events without violating the Open Meeting Act, as long as they do not discuss the people's business.
Sen. Kathleen Wilcoxson, R-Oklahoma City, said the names of individuals who win lottery prizes will remain public under her bill, which sets out how lottery trust winners are handled by the Oklahoma Lottery Commission.
The legislation passed on a 39-8 vote and now goes to the House for consideration.
A spokesman for the Oklahoma Press Association had questioned the fairness of permitting secrecy for lottery winners who form a trust, while individuals' names are public.
"I understand why people want to remain confidential (under a trust arrangement). I would want to, too," Wilcoxson said.
Legislation to address how trusts should be handled under the state lottery law was proposed after trusts claimed two big prizes in the Tulsa area last year.
One was a lump payment of $32.9 million, after taxes were deducted, when a trust claimed a $101.8 million Powerball jackpot on a lottery ticket bought at a convenience store in Broken Arrow. The trust said its beneficiaries wanted to keep their names private.
The bill on public meetings, by Sen. Owen Laughlin, D-Woodward, had been initially opposed by the OPA because of language that allowed governmental officials to gather informally if no public business was conducted.
Mark Thomas, executive vice president of the OPA, said "conducting business" had been construed by the courts as voting on things.
Laughlin amended the bill in committee to eliminate the association's concern.
"If there was any confusion, this makes it clear to the public that a public body cannot discuss business when members are at an informal gathering, such as a ball game or a party," Thomas said. "Discussion of business is clearly against the law."
Laughlin said some prosecutors had interpreted current law to bar officials from being together at public events.
"I never saw any of those people prosecuted, but I can tell you they live in fear of it," he said.
He said some officials from the Panhandle area he represents have been afraid to ride in the same pickup together.
His bill now goes to the House.
