All he needed to preserve a gold medal win was to safely hit the target. Any shot close to the bulls eye would suffice. A perfect score — dead center in a bull’s-eye that is smaller than a dime — is worth 10.9 in the final round.

This follows the order of the four Supreme Court judges striking down Proposition 22, which the voters overwhelming approved just a few years ago to reaffirm marriage as only between a man and a woman.Yet, this debate is not over. Thankfully, the Protection of Marriage Amendment will appear

Friends & Family,Today was a day of walking - Lori could not bear to be in the room - so we spent the afternoon walking - resting - walking - resting - walking. We will see the doctors at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow. The right side of her throat is still very sore - we continue to pray this is all a result of the surgery and not an infection. She has not had a fever but this just adds to her discomfort

She woke up with a sore throat and sore ear and severe pain this morning so we had to go back to the hospital to see the doctors this afternoon as soon as they got out of surgery.

It was not as windy as it has been but was difficult for Lori.
