Michigan Lawmaker Wishes That Someone Had Investigated the Obama Birth Issue a Little
"That issue was dropped immediately."
Remember how President Obama was like, "Hey, guys, I was born in Hawaii," and everyone just accepted it at face value, and that was that? It's because of this complete lack of attention paid to Obama's origins that Michigan state senator Tom Casperson still, to this day, can't say for sure whether Obama is a natural-born citizen:
"I don't know because it seems like that issue was dropped immediately as far as the major media went," Casperson said. "My gut tells me if it had been a different president, say George W. Bush, they'd have been digging into like there was no tomorrow and trying to get to the bottom of, which they never really tried to get to the bottom of."
Consequently, there's no evidence, and we'll never know the truth.

Stove Top Eye of the Round
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 1 hr
I adapted this recipe from another recipe that I came across in a Greek cookbook, omitting a couple of ingredients that I knew my family wouldn't like. It makes a very flavourful roast and is a good way to do a roast in the summer, especially if you don't have air conditioning! The leftovers make great sandwiches.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄3 cup olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, sliced
- 3 lbs beef eye round
- salt and pepper
- 1⁄2 cup dry red wine
- 2 cups beef stock
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 sprigs fresh oregano
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1⁄4 cup cold water
- Heat half the oil in a Dutch oven.
- Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat the remaining oil in the same pan.
- Add the meat and cook, turning, until brown all over.
- Return the onion mixture to the pan.
- Add the wine, stock and herbs.
- Cook, covered, over low heat for 1-1/2 hours, turning the meat once during cooking.
- Remove the meat from the pan and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
- While the meat is standing, make a gravy by mixing together the flour and cold water and blending them into the remaining pan juices.
- Add a little extra stock to the pan if necessary.
- Cook until thickened and strain.
- Serve the sliced meat and gravy sprinkled with parsley.
Most Helpful
I didn't have any fresh herbs so I used all dried ones. It was still very good. Since I was just making a small piece of meat for myself I just guessed at the amounts of seasonings. This will be a wonderful gravy for any choice of beef.
This was awesome - I actually used a cubed venison round steak - and added an additional 1/2 cup red wine and 1/2 cup beef broth and 1/2 cup water to make a little more gravy at the very end (it had cooked down).
This was really easy and good. I wasn't able to use fresh herbs this time, used dried and it still tasted yummy. Thanks for posting.

Infertility & Reproduction Health Center
Sperm FAQ
In this article
You may know it takes one sperm and one egg to make a baby, but if you're like most folks, you might not remember much else about sperm from biology class. If infertility is an issue for you and your partner, it helps to understand the basics.
How long do sperm live?
Recommended Related to Infertility & Reproduction
Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Infertility
1. Could lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol, or stress be affecting my fertility? 2. Could my job or my partner's job be contributing to our problems? 3. Are there any non-medical approaches, such as relaxation or meditation techniques, that could improve my chances of becoming pregnant? 4. Is it important to proceed with an infertility evaluation now, or should we wait a while longer? 5. What specific tests would you recommend to diagnose our infertility, and what do they cost? 6. What are...
Read the Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Infertility article > >
The answer depends on a number of things, but the most important is where the sperm are located.
On a dry surface, such as clothing or bedding, sperm are dead by the time the semen has dried. In water, such as a warm bath or hot tub, they'll likely live longer because they thrive in warm, wet places. But the odds that sperm in a tub of water will find their way inside a woman's body and cause her to get pregnant are extremely low.
When sperm are inside a woman's body, they can live for up to 5 days. If you're a man and you have sex even a few days before your partner ovulates, there's chance she may get pregnant.
How many sperm do you need to get pregnant?
It takes just one sperm to fertilize a woman's egg. Keep in mind, though, for each sperm that reaches the egg, there are millions that don't.
On average, each time a man ejaculates he releases nearly 100 million sperm. Why are so many sperm released if it takes only one to make a baby? To meet the waiting egg, semen must travel from the vagina to the fallopian tubes, a tough journey that few sperm survive. Experts believe this process may be nature's way of allowing only the healthiest sperm to fertilize the egg, to provide the best chances of having a healthy baby.
For those sperm that complete the trip, getting into the egg, which is covered by a thick layer, is far from a sure thing.
Is there anything you can do to improve the health of your sperm?
Many of the things you do to keep yourself healthy can also do the same for sperm. Try some of these tips:
- Don't smoke or use illicit drugs, especially anabolic steroids.
- Avoid contact with toxins such as pesticides and heavy metals.
- Limit how much alcohol you drink.
- Eat a healthy diet and keep your weight under control.
- Keep your scrotum cool, because heat slows down the making of sperm. To do this, avoid hot baths, wear boxers instead of briefs, and try not to wear tight pants.

This is more sexist than that Economist cover. I'm not sure how, but I'll cherry-pick facts to support my argument after a quick search of the NYTimes archives. Talk to you then!
"No Worse Than Clinton" would make a snappy bumper sticker.
fuckin THANK YOU. my brain, my poor poor brain, could not withstand the strain of total bullshit.
I enjoy the partisan bickering between the candidates themselves but it's becoming tedious on the slog.
But Annie, this is a policy issue and is specific, something Obama supporters are supposedly unable to produce. I am confused, according to ECB only HRC and her Clintonistas have a grasp of issues. Obama supporters are merely for hope and coal.
Well, now the ball is back in Erica's court. Write something of substance? Or more slime?
@4: That's funny, because I'm really enjoying having two good local writers attacking and defending their chosen candidates on the issues of the day. It's something that's not really being done very publicly elsewhere, and it's refreshing and educational, provided the level of discourse is kept high.
I won't weigh in on clean coal, other than to say that Clinton is right when she says that coal is what we do and we gotta deal with it intelligently and pragmatically.
As for cap and trade emissions schemes, check out The Economist's analysis of recent changes to the EU's energy policy:
Which explains a bit about why auctioning the credits is the better route, shy of a straight up carbon tax.
It features this tasty snippet:
"Yet a study of British industry published this week by Britain's Carbon Trust undermines the idea that a carbon price of 20 ($30) a tonnehigh enough to make a range of clean-energy technologies worthwhilewould be a huge burden. It suggests that industries making up less than 1% of Britain's GDP (and 50% of its manufacturing emissions) would be significantly affected. Aluminium, cement and some steel production are the most vulnerable."
carbon tax! carbon tax! carbon tax! You want to manage something efficiently, set a transparent price on it!
I read this and tried to read the Slog comments after seeing the bit Dan posted on Gore.
You know, no matter who wins in November (from either party) we really are fucked in a way we can not even begin to fanthom.
I say we take the West Coast, succede from the Union and elect Gore to be the President. Let the other 47 states (well we will take HI with us) and let them just fuck themselves over.
"Clinton: She's No Worse Than Obama"
Oh, yeah, that would so win votes as a bumper sticker.
Why do you MSM types keep pushing Clinton and Guiliani so much?
This gets, yet again, to the difference between candidates' policy platform statements and what they've DONE IN OFFICE: The coal-to-liquid bill was OBAMA's bill. He's made coal one of his top priorities in office--see, for example, this Washington Post story: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/09/AR2007010901503.html--which is completely different than saying in a policy statement that you'll support clean coal. They both may support coal in their statements, but Obama has done so with his ACTIONS. (And seriously, do you really think $9,000 is going to buy a presidential candidate in a race that cost multiple millions of dollars? Please.)
@7 - I guess I just prefer the way Josh and Eli handle their posts. They both seem more even-handed than ECB and Annie and not as personally invested in proving someone else wrong.
Try this for action:
Last week, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton showed that despite efforts to build support with progressives suspicious of their close ties to corporate America, when it comes to real decisions and real votes, big business will often come first. This was reaffirmed when the two senators voted for an amendment to the energy bill offered by Montana Democrat Jon Tester that would have provided $200 million in grants and $10 billion in taxpayer loans for projects to turn regular old solid, black coal into new, shiny liquid coal to power cars and trucks. The coal companies love the idea, because replacing even 10 percent of gasoline with liquid coal would spur a 43 percent increase in coal mining, according to environmental groups. And proponents have tried to put coal liquefaction in the politically appealing framework of "energy independence" -- helping reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Clinton's reasons for supporting liquid coal are harder to divine. Like Obama, she's compiled a generally pro-environment record, but also like him, she's surrendered to polluter lobbyists on some key issues -- for example, supporting the logging company International Paper in burning highly toxic tires at a major facility in upstate New York. But there are no major coal mining interests in New York (outside of the New York-based hedge funds who own a large share of the power and mining industry). Nevertheless, she's consistently supported subsidies for coal, if not with the gusto that Obama has brought to the cause. She usually explains it by touting what she says is coal liquefaction's ability to reduce America's reliance on foreign oil (economists doubt this proposition; liquid coal is so expensive to produce that it's likely to only displace domestic sources of oil, which have significantly higher production costs than Saudi, Venezuelan or African oil). Still, she seems to feel divided on the issue; when the Senate voted on the Tester amendment, she stood on the Senate floor and waited until almost all the other senators had cast their votes before announcing her support.
They both suck on this issue, but only Obama has a concrete reason for sucking. What's Clinton's?
"they both suck."
annie, thank you for being intellectually honest and showing both candidates' records on this issue. that shouldn't be too much to ask.
ECB @10 re what they've done in office...OK so why didn't you address the generally horrible environmental track record of the Clintons that was brought up in response to your post? It seems that you're the one that is relying on policy statements rather than actual action here.
@10 ECB - so you'd rather have the money go to Saudis so they can kill Americans with it?
@10 - and this is the lack of a high level of discourse that I was concerned about.
talks about Obama's coal motivations, was written two days before the prospect.org article that Annie referenced.
I feel it shows Obama trying to find a way to do both, use coal and use it wisely, and he later hedged his bets on CTL.
(And seriously, do you really think $9,000 is going to buy a presidential candidate in a race that cost multiple millions of dollars? Please.)
What, are you one of Jack Abramoff's lawyers now?
Wow. Each post from you is more of a stretch than the last. Annie obviously favors Obama, but still manages to show more honesty than you do.
The "honest" Obama supporter supports Obama now, by telling us Clinton took $9,200 from the coal industry while Obama just took "$4,795 from the coal industry"?
That's the response to ECB's point about Boucher supporting OBama?
What's the new "noest" OBama slogan now --
"Obama and Clinton: We All Know What they Both Are, But Obama Is a Cheaper One"?
@18: Neither candidate has taken much money from the coal industry--that was what I intended to demonstrate by citing both numbers. Both candidates support "clean coal," which is bullshit. One sponsored a stupid coal-to-liquid bill; one voted for it. One candidate is from a coal-producing state; one isn't.
Draw your own conclusions, but I think it's pretty extreme to claim one would be dramatically different from the other in office, endorsement from one Virginia congressman or no.
I'm an Obama supporter, but I liked Hillary's comments about carbon sequestration. This is something we should try out. I have a feeling that it's not going to work very well, but let's let the scientists and engineers give it a try first, hmm? The research could dramatically improve the way we deal with our coal byproducts, and possibly reduce the amount of money we send to terrorism-sponsoring Saudi Arabia.
the key is "citing both numbers." not just one side of the issue, both sides! that way, the reader can draw his/her own conclusions, instead of the author making the conclusions for them based on half the evidence available.
this is the fundamental difference between having journalistic integrity and being a propagandist.
I love how Bill's crappy environmental record reflects poorly on Hillary's, especially when she's not allowed to use her First Ladyship as an example of her political experience.
@22: We can say she's not allowed all we want, but she persists in using her "35 years of experience" line. So she should take responsibility for environmental stewardship on her husband's watch--it's only fair.
@22 I assume you're talking about @14's comment about "the generally horrible environmental track record of the Clintons" is only relevant if the reader is choosing Hillary in hopes of some sort of repeat of Bill's presidency, which as Josh posted a while ago, is one of the key reasons many people are voting for her.
"But there are no major coal mining interests in New York" tells you all you need to know. That, and "supporting the logging company International Paper in burning highly toxic tires at a major facility in upstate New York".
Neither one of them get the cookie. They work for industry in their state; that's what senators are FOR.
ECB has a way of driving me away from her chosen candidates. All the crap reasons she gave for Stephanie Pure led me to vote for someone else (albeit he lost too).
ECB said Obama was not a friend of the environment because he received an endorsement from a clean coal lobbyist. Now, confronted with the fact that Clinton got more money from that same lobbyist she says it doesn't matter.
Its becoming more and more obvious that one of two things are driving ECB.
1. She won't vote for a black man.
2. She wants to vote for a woman.

Firmly I Believe and Truly [1]The Spiritual Tradition of Catholic EnglandEdited by John Saward, John Morrill, and Michael TomkoOxford University Press, $65, 832 pp.
The parameters of Firmly I Believe and Truly, an anthology of English Catholic spiritual texts, are strict. The book includes nothing written before the introduction of printing into England by William Caxton (died 1492). Every text was written by an author who was Catholic when he or she wrote it: if the author was a convert, none of their pre-conversion writings is included. Thus we get nothing written by Newman before 1845. And the "English" in "English spiritual texts" is geographical as well as linguistic: the texts were all written by authors who, whatever their origins, wrote in England (and not Scotland, say, or Ireland). The only flexible term in the book's subtitle is "spirituality," which is understood by the editors to include texts on liturgy, church life, and theology.
This is a perfect book for browsing. You look for favorite authors to see which of their works has been chosen; along the way, you discover new authors, or authors you'd forgotten. Those of a certain age might look for important writers of the...

Councillors at yesterday's full council meeting decided to
accept the recommendation made by deputy mayor Chris Staynes,
who had been attempting to resolve a complaint against Mr
Cull made by Cr Lee Vandervis.
Cr Vandervis filed the code of conduct complaint in September
last year, claiming Mr Cull had erred in his handling of
issues including points of order raised by councillors during
The matter had dragged on without resolution since, despite
attempts at mediation.
Cr Staynes' report - considered at yesterday's meeting - said
Cr Vandervis had in September declined an offer to arrange an
external mediator to resolve the complaint.
However, because of the amount of time that had passed, and
the council's decision to review its standing orders,
including the complaints process, it was recommended no
further action be taken, Cr Staynes' report said.
Councillors at yesterday's meeting voted to accept the
recommendation, without debate.

Sealed Border
Pakistan says its border with Afghanistan is "sealed," but refugees continue finding ways to elude the border guards. U.S. officials say that Taliban or al Qaeda fighters continue to cross, too. They've disappeared into what's known as the "tribal belt," a region populated by heavily armed Pashtuns. NPR's Steve Inskeep reports on Pakistan's efforts to close that region.

Aluminium Composite Panel ( ACP) or Alucopan is a widely-used term, describing flat panels that consist of a non-aluminium core bonded between two aluminium sheets. Aluminium sheets can be coated with PVDF or Polyester paint.
ACPs are frequently used for external cladding of buildings ( building facades) .
The main advantage of Alucopan is that it is very rigid and strong despite its light weight. Due to the ability of painting the aluminium in any kind of colour, Alucopan are produced in a wide range of metallic and non-metallic colours as well as patterns that imitate other materials, such as wood or marble.
Applications of Alucopan are not limited to external building cladding, but can also be used in any form of cladding such as partitions, false ceilings etc. Aluminium Composite Panels are also widely used within the signage industry as an alternative to heavier, more expensive substrates.

Stealing a victory from Father Time
Courtesy Ira Fritz
"If you build on it ... we will come ..."
Three balls, two strikes, two outs. Just one strike away from tossing a perfect game in my last year as a Little Leaguer. After a couple of hard pounds into his mitt, my catcher gives me the target I'm waiting for. OK ... here we go ... deep breath ... rock back ... leg kick ... the pitch ... STRIKE THREE ... PERFECT GAME. Wow! I did it! An amazing story I won't be telling over and over again to my children and grandchildren. Why? Because of one small but very critical detail. The umpire, my buddy Jeff's dad (Jeff was not on the other team) didn't call strike three ... he called ball four. The runner, looking almost as surprised I was, trotted to first base, taking with him my perfect game and my timeless story ... leaving me with a less than extraordinary two-hit shutout. Twenty-eight years later, despite this paternal calamity, Jeff and I are somehow still the closest of friends. And every now and then, when I see his dad, before we share a hug and a handshake, the conversation always starts the same way.
"It was a little outside, Ira."
"%*#* you, Marty."
In the shadow of more than a dozen 23-story high-rise buildings, two blocks from the sand and surf of Brighton Beach, and less than a 10-minute walk from the world's most famous hot dogs (Nathan's of Coney Island), sits West Brighton Little League. Snuggled, or more accurately, wedged way too tightly between an old seven-story brick residential building and a synagogue, Temple Beth Abraham, this very small and very oddly shaped field served as the centerpiece to this tight-knit Brooklyn, N.Y., neighborhood ... a neighborhood that managed to graduate just enough doctors, lawyers and teachers to forgive its drug addicts, convicts and teenage derelicts. What looked like a piece of land more intended for parked cars instead became a place for kids between 8 and 12 years old to discover their love of baseball.
Whether it was catching a foul ball down the right field line and then crashing into the brick wall of the temple ... or hitting a home run to left center field and shattering someone's bedroom window ... West Brighton Little League was ours. It was all we had ... it was all we knew ... and as far as we were concerned, it was all we needed. And every spring the community came out in droves to celebrate it. West Brighton Little League Parade Day was a huge event, when teams from every age division followed a real marching band down West 5th Street ... starting at the local junior high school a few blocks away, ending on the outfield grass. It was then that we were subjected to -- I mean enjoyed -- local politicians making speeches on the virtues of Little League baseball. Nothing gets a kid more excited than when the Brooklyn borough president spends 30 minutes telling you over and over again, "It's not if you win, but how you play the game." But the real treat on Parade Day was what took place next ... the first pitch of another epic battle between McDonald's of Brighton (my team) and our archenemy, Lincoln Savings Bank (my brother and two of my closest friends were on this team). The Yankees and Red Sox had nothing on this rivalry. It featured the league's top players ... best friends vs. best friends ... even brother vs. brother ... me vs. mine. When I look at my team picture taken that day, I can shrink 28 years down to the blink of an eye.
Father Time, in perpetual abuse of his evil power, prides himself on ruining what is perfect ... forbidding the here and now from ever being anything but a fleeting moment ... breathing fire onto the notion of "frozen in time." Returning as a West Brighton Little League coach a few years later may have kept the ever-anxious Father Time at bay for a bit, but his revenge for doing so was all the mightier. As the neighborhood evolved ... or more accurately devolved ... the overwhelming foreshadowing of what was to come was painfully obvious.
When I left for college in 1985, the first weeds to grow over the infield dirt began to rise up ... easy to ignore, perhaps, until the next baseball season, when those weeds appeared like a sheet draped over a freshly deceased body. For the first time since its very first Opening Day, there would be no familiar cry of "Play ball." Instead, there was a field crying out to be nurtured, taken care of the way it took care of us, simply respected ... not neglected ... left alone ... betrayed. Beautiful became ugly ... jaded replaced innocence ... and a horrible echo resonated throughout the neighborhood ... emanating straight from the cold lungs of Father Time -- "forgotten, no longer needed, dead."
I've been blessed to have kept the same circle of close friends throughout my life. The same friends who played baseball with me at West Brighton Little League ... on its All-Star team that dreamed of far-away Williamsport, Pa. ... only to be eliminated right down the road in Brooklyn, New York. Year after year we'd return to our field ... no longer populated by children experiencing the thrill of our national pastime, but by repulsive 6-foot high weeds, scattered drug paraphernalia and evidence that homeless people were using the dugouts as shelter. Yet somehow the memories came rushing back ... zooming into crystal-clear focus as we stood outside the fence of our decayed stadium. And amidst all that had so tragically and undeniably changed, one piece of history refused to relinquish its ground. We simply had to marvel at its stubbornness ... left there completely untouched, virtually unaltered, undiminished ... as if somehow perched just barely out of the reach of Father Time. Hanging proudly 15 feet above and behind home plate, looking as it did the first time I saw it at my first game 32 years earlier, stood the West Brighton Little League sign. 12 feet wide and 4 feet high, painted on a thin piece of sheet metal supported by a big slab of wood ... designed in a classic late-'60s style, this last artifact, still somehow in possession of its original bold luster, defiantly remained. The fact that not one baseball game had been played there in over 20 years mattered not ... this sign stood as testament that it was and always would be West Brighton Little League.
What was so special about this sign back in the beginning is what remained special about it all these years later ... it never ceased being a vital part of the fabric of this famous, historic neighborhood. So much so that photographers captured it and posted their snapshots on the Internet. And as we stood in its shadow, protected from Father Time, we were men instantly turned back into little boys ... gloves in hand, hats on head and deep pockets full of memories. Like the time Bruce hit the longest home run in West Brighton history off me ... or when Scott would come to the plate imitating the batting stance of his childhood Mets hero, the one and only Steve Henderson ... or when Jeff would foul off pitch after pitch after pitch until finally hitting a passing train that ran along the third-base line on its way to Coney Island ... or how my younger brother Todd got that game-winning hit off me that I never heard the end of (and still haven't) ... or how I hit three home runs in one game off him ... and, of course, my perfect game that wasn't. Every time we gathered around that wonderful, timeless, comforting sign, it whispered another sweet, splendid memory to us. And it was these memories that kept it buoyed above a field that hadn't seen a baseball game played at its feet for over two decades. Every reunion ended the same way, with me making a solemn pledge ... somehow, someday, some way, I will take down that sign ... before someone else who it means nothing to does. I thought I had forever to do it. I was wrong.
On a cold January morning my phone rang. The call was from a very reliable neighborhood source ... my Mom.
"I know this is going to upset you, but they're going to build a high rise on the Little League field."
I'd heard this countless times before. We all had.
"What else is new, Mom? Is this just a ploy to get me to bring your grandchildren down for a visit?"
"Construction starts in a couple of days. They're taking down the fences and boarding up the field tomorrow."
This I had not heard countless times before. None of us had. Sure, there were constant rumors swirling around for years that something like this was about to happen. But nothing ever did. So we continued to believe it never would. But this ... this was real. When I hung up the phone, I immediately remembered the story my dad told me about old Ebbets Field in Brooklyn ... where his beloved Dodgers played before they betrayed the borough and ran off to Los Angeles when he was 14 years old. Even after the team left, my dad would fool himself into believing that someday they'd return to their senses and come running back to where they belonged, right there in Flatbush. Until the day they started tearing Ebbets Field down ... then he could fool himself no more. Emptiness ... sadness ... anger ... frustration ... that is how he felt in 1960 ... and that is exactly how I was feeling almost 50 years later about West Brighton Little League. But this was no time for mourning. I had a mission to accomplish ... a promise to fulfill ... and suddenly, time was running out.
Ira Fritz
Everyone had dreams of Williamsport in Little League ... and everyone thought it would last forever.
After the 115-mile drive to Brooklyn, I arrived at the field just before sunset. Proof that plans were well under way, just as my Mom had said, was clearly evident. The weeds, garbage and who knows what else had been removed. The fact it hadn't looked this much like a baseball field in over 20 years was a bitter piece of irony impossible to ignore, but it was quickly eased by the sight above home plate ... the sign still remained. From outside the fence, as I made my way from behind home plate down the third-base line, I noticed that the gate, adjacent to the visitors dugout, was not locked. I gently pushed against it. As if opening its arms, immediately forgiving me for years of regrettable estrangement, it parted. Without hesitation, I stepped onto the field for the first time in way too many years ... and with each step forward I walked another year backwards ... until I finally arrived at the age of 12 ... on the pitcher's mound, one strike away from a perfect game. I stared in towards home plate, waiting for a sign from the catcher I knew would never to come. I then fixed my gaze a few feet higher ... on that wonderful sign that I knew I could not leave without.
I am not handy. Much to my wife's chagrin, screwing in a light bulb and successfully installing a new toilet seat gives me an embarrassing sense of pride. The odds of me getting down this sign, by myself, with not even a clue of where and how to begin, seemed at best infinite to one. As I stood there, fighting to dismiss the vision of the sign ending up on a scrap heap somewhere the following day, I could hear Father Time laughing ... mocking me ... reveling in my misery. "No perfect game then ... and no perfect game now ... kid."
Two blocks from West Brighton Little League sits P.S. 100, the school I attended from kindergarten through sixth grade. My mom is a teacher there, and so was my sister until recently, when my baby nephew Ross made his way into the world. With nowhere to turn, they suggested I ask ... beg if necessary ... a school custodial engineer (who they had become friends with over the years) to help. I had nothing ... and everything to lose ... so I walked over, found Joe outside the boiler room, and told him my story.
"So whaddya want from me, eh?" he asked in the strongest Brooklyn accent possible to still qualify as English.
"I ... I want you to help me get the sign down."
"Get the sign ... you gotta be kiddin' me."
"No ... I'm quite serious."
"What's it weigh?"
"I have no idea."
"How long's it been up there?"
"Over 40 years."
"You got permission to take this thing down?"
"Not really."
"You got tools, a blow torch, anything?"
"I have a screwdriver in my glove compartment and a flashlight in the trunk ... but it may not have batteries."
There was a long pause. I didn't think I was going to like what was coming next.
"C'mon ... don't be crazy ... someone's gonna get hurt tryin' to get that thing down ... go take a picture and bring that home with ya ... just fuggedaboudit, OK?"
Maybe it was the look of utter despair on my face ... maybe it was how much Joe liked my mom and sister ... or maybe I found the "Mr. Softee" of public school custodians. Joe looked down, shook his head, then let out a sigh.
"Meet me over there in two hours. We'll see what we can do."
I told Joe I loved him.
"Yeah, well we'll see how much you love me in a couple of hours if I can't get it down."
Two hours later, with the temperature plummeting and the wind whipping, there I stood with my brother-in-law, Craig, and my sister, Melissa. Just as I was about to express doubt that Joe was going to show, a truck pulled up that looked like a Home Depot exploded on it. It had every conceivable tool you could imagine. Both doors simultaneously swung open ... Joe emerged from the driver's seat, someone else from the passenger side. "This is John," Joe said. "He's gonna try and help us out."
After we exchanged greetings, it was evident that John had some questions he needed answers to, and they all revolved around my sanity.
"So, uh ... Joe told me the story," he said as he looked at me, then up at the sign. "That thing means a lot to you, huh?"
"I can't even tell you how much, John. Thank you so much for doing this."
John looked at me, nodded, then looked back up at the sign, as if plotting his next move.
"OK, Joe, let's give it a shot."
Like a couple of cats chasing a mouse, these two middle-aged men darted up the fence to where the sign was situated. I was beginning to feel very confident. Joe and John surveyed the situation very closely ... pulling on something here, pushing on something there. Then they began talking very quietly to each other. From where I was standing under them, I could not hear what they were saying. And I don't think they wanted me to either. "Ira ... listen ... I gotta tell ya ... I don't think this thing is ever comin' down," Joe said.
"It's not just rusted to the fence ... it's part of it," John added.
That look of utter despair crept back onto my face.
"You wanna come up here and check it out, we can show you," John said.
First, I knew that was pointless. There'd be nothing I could do up there that they couldn't. Second, and more importantly, since a ladder wasn't an option, there was no way in hell I was ever going to get up there anyway. As I waited for the two of them to come down, it dawned on me that Father Time was going to win again ... tomorrow morning the West Brighton Little League sign was going to be lying in a giant Dumpster, treated with no more respect and dignity than the mounds of trash and debris lying around it. But then something very strange happened ... or didn't happen ... Joe and John never came down. Instead, they were talking quietly to each other again. This time, I could hear them.
"You got the same thing over on your side, Joe?"
"Yeah ... but I can't tell if it's what's holdin' it up or not."
"Whaddya wanna do?"
"Last chance ... let's give it a shot."
Joe looked down at us.
"Youse guys ... move back."
We took a step back.
"No, I mean move back."
So we did.
"Now don't panic, OK ... we're not gonna hurt the sign," Joe said.
The three of us looked at each other. Before we could spend a moment trying to figure out what Joe meant, it began. Joe and John began kicking ferociously at the upper corners of the sign. The racket was loud enough to get us some unwanted attention, as a few lights from the windows in left center field turned on. As the kicking continued, the sign seemed to be hanging on for dear life ... fighting to stand its ground and remain home ... still clinging to false hope ... this I understood. For what seemed like an eternity, but in reality was just 30 seconds or so, the battering continued ... until Joe uttered three magic words...
"Here it comes..."
One final kick ... then silence. As if in slow motion, with nothing left for it to do but succumb to the bitterness of reality, the West Brighton Little League sign tumbled down, finally landing in the dirt below, upside down, its top left corner stuck in the earth. No one said a word. But in the deafening silence I could hear what sounded like a little boy crying. After a moment I recognized who that little boy was ... me. This now-barren, unmarked patch of land would never become ... could never become ... a real-life Field of Dreams.
Carrying the sign through the streets, it felt as though we were pallbearers. The looks on the faces of people walking by our funeral procession were priceless. But the further we got away from the field, the more the feeling of death began to give way to the awe-inspiring feeling of new life. This was a triumph, a rescue mission with a happy ending ... and even if it was borne of guilt, that didn't matter now. With more than a little help from my friends, we didn't save the memory of West Brighton Little League ... that was always safe ... but we saved its dignity, and somehow, someway I came through on a promise to a dear, old friend. Take that, Father Time.

Father Law No. 1: You will pass on the love to baseball to your son.
I couldn't wait until the next morning, when I could see the sign in the bright light of day sitting in my own backyard. I woke up at dawn, and like a kid excited to see what Santa left, rushed over to my bedroom window. While it was hard to deny how out of place it looked, so far away from where it stood for all those years, it fit perfectly. To me, it seemed content ... in the knowledge that when it was all said and done, it truly was cherished ... not forgotten after all. A few days later, I invited my friends over. They knew what was happening to the field, but had no idea what had happened there two nights before with Joe and John. I wanted it to be a surprise. With the sign now standing safe in our shadow, we could actually touch it while sharing more memories, and be even closer to it than back when we were Little Leaguers. Take that, Father Time.
My dad passed away in 1991, when I was 24 years old. He is the reason why sports have always been such an important part of my life. The times we shared during my Little League days served not only as the foundation of our relationship, but as the place we went to for strength during some very difficult times. Each day when I see that sign, I see him ... his reassuring face as I stood on the mound struggling to find home plate, his subtle fist pump after a big strikeout, and his pride in seeing his boy realize how magnificent sports can be ... the unbreakable, eternal bond it creates between father and son.
My 6-year-old son Daniel's love for baseball was born and forever cemented in Boston on Sept. 1, 2007 ... at his first-ever major league baseball game when he witnessed a no-hitter, thrown by Clay Buchholz at Fenway Park. Daniel and his grandfather never got to meet each other ... and nothing pains me more that both were so unjustly deprived. If only I could allow my son's childhood innocence to gnaw away at the jaded cynic that life has sometimes forced me to become. But wait ... in the shadow of that sign ... wearing the very same Little League hat I had worn so many years before ... Daniel teaches me to see how the three of us are so powerfully and spiritually connected. I can actually see my boy in the arms of my dad ... three generations stealing back what was so cruelly robbed of us ... grandfather, father, son ... together. And when Daniel says he wishes he could talk to Grandpa David ... and when I so desperately need to hear his voice again, too ... we can both reach out and touch that precious sign. And if we stay very still and quiet ... we not only can find him ... but deep inside the wind we can hear him, too...
"Stay loose, you two ... stay loose ... ya loose?"
"We're loose, Dad."
"We're loose, Grandpa... "
Take that, Father Time. I guess we do get the last laugh, after all.

How do I show that $\Bbb Q/\Bbb Z $ is an infinite group? I've been thinking that all elements in $\Bbb Q/\Bbb Z $ can be written as $\left[\frac ab\right]$, where a $\in \Bbb Z$ and b $\in \Bbb N \setminus\{0\}$, is this right? Then I've been thinking, that since there exists elements of arbitrary large order(I've already proven this), then it's a infinite group? I'm just not sure whether this is right, or enough proof. I also have to proof that $\Bbb Q/\Bbb Z $ is not cyclic. Again, I think it has something to do with the order of the group being arbitrary large, but I'm not sure.
If you had already shown that $\mathbb {Q} /\mathbb {Z}$ has elements of arbitrarily large order then from this already follows that the group is infinite. One way to reason would be that in a finite group the orders of elements are bounded by the size of the group (by Largange's Theorem), so if the orders are not bounded then the group is not finite.
Showing that $\mathbb {Q} /\mathbb {Z}$ is not cyclic has little to do with it's size but a lot to do with orders of elements. Since you already showed that $\mathbb {Q} /\mathbb {Z}$ is infinite were it to be cyclic it would be isomorphic to $\mathbb {Z}$. However, in $\mathbb {Z}$ all elements are of infinite order, except for $0$. But (as you have shown) in $\mathbb {Q} /\mathbb {Z}$ there are many elements of various finite orders. Since order of elements is preserved under an isomorphism it is impossible for $\mathbb {Q} /\mathbb {Z}$ to be isomorphic to $\mathbb {Z}$, and so the former is not cyclic.
Let $\pi\colon \mathbb{Q} \rightarrow \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$ be the canonical homomorphism. Let $r, s \in [0, 1) \cap \mathbb{Q}$. Then $|r - s| < 1$. Hence, if $r \neq s$, $\pi(r) \neq \pi(s)$. Hence $\pi|[0, 1) \cap \mathbb{Q} \rightarrow \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$ is injective. Hence $\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$ is an infinite group.
I think we can have the following approaches:

So, this morning is the first morning that I am on my own with the baby(born on the 22nd of March) and my three year old and I am pissed off. Hubs decided he wanted to go back to work earlier than he had to and I am feeling resentful that he gets to leave and I don't. Not only that he left like an hour early when everyone was already up and I could have used a little rest seeing as I had been up all night long. It's like he wants to run away from the situation as soon as possible while I am in the thick of it and I can't run away no matter how anxious or frustrating it is. I am running on empty and have no family anywhere within about 10,000 miles and I am so annoyed that he decided to go back to work early. I know that he loves them, I can see that but I am so tired and just wanted one more day to put my head on straight. I am sitting here crying like an idiot but I am just frustrated. I think I might have put a little too much on my plate with school full time, two babies, no help, and going back to my night job three nights a week starting in about a week or so. I don't know how people do this without going crazy though I am well aware that this has been going on since the beginning of time. What do I do and how can I get over being frustrated?
Having a little bit of resentment...Help or Encouraging Words?

My hubby will go back to work next week and I am terrified. However, I already get so mad and frustrated so easily. What I enjoy doing is when I have to get something at the store, I go alone and crank up the music and base and sing along to some of the songs that I like. I think you should talk to your hubby (not blaming or anything like that, though I know sometimes I want to talk to my hubby like that). During this hard time is an opprotunity for you two to grow closer by leaning on each other for help. But I would also suggest getting help with your little ones. I have no family here either. But I know people in my ward who help me alot. Maybe someone on here as well lives near you. I know that I do not have a job or school to do and it is hard taking care of these children. So I know you have if rough. I hope you will be able to find a friend to help you. If you need anything let me know!

SOURCE: "Ideological Conflict, Alternative Plots, and the Problem of Historical Causation," in Stages of History: Shakespeare's English Chronicles, Cornell University Press, 1990, pp. 40-85.
In the following essay, Rackin identifies a conflict between two Renaissance theories of history, providentialism and Machiavellianism, as alternate explanations of historical causation. This conflict, maintains Rackin, can be found in Shakespeare's history plays, and it is the source of their theatrical energy and the inspiration for the audience's contemplation of the problems related to historical interpretation. Rackin goes on to investigate how this ideological conflict is portrayed in different ways in the history plays.
Modern criticism of Shakespeare's history plays can be divided conveniently into two main camps, both concerned with the problem of historical causation. First there was the "Tudor myth" school associated with E. M. W. Tillyard, which found in the plays "...

BORGER - A Borger woman is free on bond after a tip from an informant led Hutchinson County Sheriff's deputies to seize $10,000 in drugs and cash from her home last week.
Capt. Terri Willis said Carolyn Saunders posted $10,000 bond on each charge of possession and distribution of a controlled substance and possession and distribution of marijuana after she was arrested on Oct. 4.
Deputies set up a monthlong surveillance on the home in the 900 block of Nelson Street after an informant told them that drugs were being sold at the address, Willis said.
Officials obtained a search warrant for the home, which is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, and deputies, along with a K-9 unit from Sherman County, moved in and arrested Saunders without incident, Willis said.
Investigators found methamphetamines, marijuana and cash with a combined value of about $10,000, Willis said.

I am trying to use Solver in 64-bit Excel 2010.
When I run Solver, it opens the solver window, states that it has results and then popups the following error message:
Run-time error '53'
File not found: Solver32.dll
So, it would seem that the Solver32.dll cannot be loaded. It is however, available in the Solver Directory - i.e. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\Library\SOLVER contains SOLVER.XLAM and SOLVER32.dll
What have I tried so far...?
did a full Office 2010 Repair
this Microsoft forum suggested copying the Solver32.dll to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (which is where Windows 7 stores it's 32-bit dlls).
this forum suggested installing the Solver add-in (.xlam and .dll) to ..\AppData..\Microsoft\AddIns
I have tried both of these and neither of them worked...

Tune In to Find Out if Your Child Is Developing Normally
March 28, 2000 (Atlanta) -- Television may turn out to be a useful tool for assessing development in young children, according to an observational study published in the March 25 issue of the British Medical Journal. Some British researchers say it may help pediatricians determine if a child who is not yet talking at 18 to 24 months has a learning problem. But other pediatricians are not convinced of its value.
"One thing [we] are concerned about is learning difficulties because they are not going to go away," lead author Ben Lloyd, MD, tells WebMD. "That is an important diagnosis. But trying to assess the abilities of a child who is not talking is quite difficult, so you need some good questions [to ask the parents]." Lloyd is a consultant pediatrician at the Royal Free Hospital in London.
One of the questions Lloyd and his colleagues have started using is, "Does your child recognize the picture of a cat, dog, or baby on the television screen?"
"In order to [recognize a cat, dog, or baby on TV], I think you have got to be of reasonable intelligence and you have got to want to communicate," he says, adding that they chose cats, dogs, and babies because those appear to be the first things young children recognize.
To determine at what age most developmentally normal children recognize those images, Lloyd questioned the parents of almost 800 children between the ages of 8 and 23 months old, as well as the parents of 26 18-month-old children with Down's syndrome.
If a parent responded that their child did indeed recognize the television image of a cat, dog, or baby, they were asked, "How do you know?" The researchers concluded that a child recognized the image if he or she named, imitated, or pointed at the image. Becoming excited or patting the screen was not considered sufficient evidence.
"We identified that by 18 months, 96% of the children are reported to recognize a cat, dog, or baby on the television screen," says Lloyd. By contrast, only 19% of children with Down's syndrome were reported to identify those images at 18 months.

Critical Rating: AAA

How can the U.S. Government get a fabulous diamond back from a mob kingpin? Well, I guess it takes a thief, and Alexander Tuesday (Randy West) certainly rises to the occasion. Fortunately, he's got help: agent Alexandria Quinn, who, for my money, is worth the entire price of stocking the tape. She has the best straight sex and the best girl/girl scene on the tape. And she's in fine company: all the women perform superbly, particularly Sunny McKay as the kingpin's girlfriend. The story is well written and well acted, and it's hot enough to melt your VCR. Don't miss it.

True Blood is adding a hot new fairy for its sixth season. No, not that kind of fairy but a faerie. Rob Kazinsky has been tapped by the supernatural drama to play Ben who helps Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and her brother Jason (Ryan Kwanten) discover the truth behind their parent's murders. Reportedly, Kazinsky will be a regular cast member of the HBO next season. Rumor has it he'll also play, yet another love interest, for Sookie. In my next supernatural life, I'd like to come back as Sookie. First Eric Northman, then Alicide and now this. How lucky can one woman get?
Kazinksy hails from West Sussex, England. The 28-year-old actor is best known for his role on UK's long-running soap, EastEnders. Robert is of Polish and Russian descent. Originally, he was to appear as Fili in the upcoming film, The Hobbit. Citing personal reasons, Kazinsky backed out of the role months after his casting was announced. Fans of ABC's Brothers & Sisters might recognize him when he guest starred as Dr. Rick Appleton on the show. In 2008, he ranked No. 3 on All About Soap's annual list of 100 Sexiest Men in Soap. Check out True Blood's new addition below and see if you agree with the publication's sexy assessment.

CITY Motors (vehicle sales/tyres & batteries/bearings & drive belts)
In Stores
CITY Motors dealership has the sales office, seperate tyre & battery business and a bearing & drive component supplier.
CITY brand of trucks and 4x4's have come out in 2012 City sets so why not a dealer to look after them. The bearings outlet mainly looks after heavy machinery needs as well a bit for the truck/4x4 area.
The sales counter, easy terms arranged and you are on the road with a new CITY truck or 4x4.
Overhead shot of the tyre fitting area, note the heavy duty tyre changing machine.
Interior of CITY Bearings, selling CITY brand bearing kits and drive belts and agent for Octan greases and their new grease guns.
This is one of my rare Lego City only themed designs, most of my designs are based on past or present brand names in the real world.
I just added a little extra signage to the sales office, not too much. Sometimes saying only a little can say a lot in the end.
This is about complete except for some MOC'ed vehicles to go in the sales yard.
Comments and suggestions always welcome.

Is Katy Perry Evil?
So here's the thing...
Today I'm driving down the road, no kids in the car, and a Katy Perry song comes on the radio.
It's Teenage Dream.
It's a really catchy song that I have been very clear with my kids they are NOT allowed to listen to because the lyrics are so wrong it makes me sick. And yet every time it comes on the radio I want to listen to it because really, it's catchy. But I don't. I change the station because I don't think I should be listening to it for the same reasons my kids shouldn't be.
So the next station I turn to also had a Katy Perry song playing.
Last Friday Night.
And I'm met with the same dilemma. I actually like to listen to the song but I feel like it's really wrong. The lyrics are so messed up, especially for young kids to be hearing messages like this. So I turned it off and I started thinking, how does somebody feel like it is okay to put these messages out to kids and teenagers (or anyone for that matter)?
Shane and I have talked about Katy Perry a lot and what to do about her songs because the kids all want to listen to her and all their friends at school listen to her. They even play her music at school carnivals from the DJ booth. Shane thinks she is evil and her lyrics make me think maybe she is too. Her songs are the last thing I want my kids listening to.
I decided to research her a little more today to try to figure out where she came from and why she does what she does. I went to the ever reliable Wikipedia where I learned she is the daughter of two pastors (of course!) and her mother never let her listen to "secular" music growing up, only gospel music. When she began pursuing her music career her first attempts were at Gospel Rock and she was highly unsuccessful. Of course she was. There is nothing sexy or immediately gratifying about Gospel Rock so why would anyone care? It was only once she went to pop and dropped all things moral that she was highly, EXTREMELY successful. Suddenly she got triple platinum songs and albums, her success is even compared to Michael Jackson in some areas, and she gets married to Russell Brand.
As I read all that I tried to think about every moment she realized she was compromising morally for the success she really wanted, and I am certain there were a lot of moral compromises going on. Especially for someone who grew up with a religious background. Then at the end of her wiki page there is this quote:
In an interview with Rolling Stone she said, "I am sensitive to Russell taking the Lord's name in vain and to Lady Gaga putting a rosary in her mouth. I think when you put sex and spirituality in the same bottle and shake it up, bad things happen."
And there I found it. The rationalization that allows her to do what she does. She has convinced herself that as long as you don't put sex and spirituality together that it's okay. That statement, combined with the songs that she sings, is so absurd it is just too much for me to take.
I have some news for you Katy Perry, bad things also happen when you promote teenage sex as fun and exciting.
There will be repercussions for the teenagers that buy into it and someday, there will be repercussions for you.
So is Katy Perry Evil?
I don't think so. I think the word I would chose would be "confused", which is what happens when you compromise on your morality. You get really, really confused.
She doesn't know what she's doing anymore... and that's scary.

Interesting post. Along the same vein, I watched a documentary on her and the spiritualism her parents espoused was weird. No dirt devil. No deviled eggs. Then they let her go live with some music exec. I don't see her as evil but rather as a reminder that if we don't continue to seek after light, we slowly lose it and become as bad-if not worse-than everyone else. I don't listen to her, either.

Well you know there's no listening to that 'hussy' round here. :) I don't actually think she's evil nor do I think that many of the artists out there are. I think it's just like you said, they are able to rationalize everything they do. Usually with phrases like, "I'm not hurting anyone..." PLEASE. So socially irresponsible. You know exactly who idolizes you and that everything you say will be taken as gospel truth to these young people. But they all take the Pilate approach and wash their hands of any wrong doing. Sad.

I love this post. I agree about her music. I was listening to a catchy song the other day with Taylor in the car. When I realized how bad the lyrics were I changed the station. He asked if it was a bad song "because he said ..." I felt bad that he had to hear it. I had no idea he even payed attention to the words.

i also think shes a coward. cuz the first several times she compromised her moral standards for a shot at money and fame she knew exactly what she was doing and she just did it anyway. i also change those catchy songs cuz i dont wanna be the kind of mom who is a different person when my kids arent around. so "go, us!" we aint no cowards!

Hooray for morality and moms that teach it to their children!

Thank you for this post.
I am confused as well: do I prohibit my child listening to certain artists, therefore fuelling her desire ever more to listen; or, do I allow her to listen and set constant reminders for her to be mindful of what kind of messages come through, that she should consciously reject?
Also I don't think the worst of Katy Perry is the sexiness. I think the worst is her video's promotion of war. That, in my mind, does not make her an innocent who's been comprimised- that makes her directly responsible.
Being the daughter of pastors, she should know full well, you can't serve God and mammon.
- July 18, 2012 at 10:38 AM
I'm very sad to know that she came from a spiritual background. She will die empty if she will not repent. Just like Elvis Prestley...

Interesting post. Though i cant say i completely agree. I myself am a 14 year old teenager and i listen to katy perry almost everyday. Even though i listen to her catchy music i listen closely to the lyrics and i get what your saying but i have never had sex or any form of sexual activity. So i dont think her message is teenage sex is a fun thing.

Edwin Mullhouse, a novelist at 10, is mysteriously dead at 11. As a memorial, Edwin's bestfriend, Jeffrey Cartwright, decides that the life of this great American writer must be told. He follows Edwin's development from his preverbal first noises through his love for comic books to the fulfillment of his literary genius in the remarkable novel, Cartoons.
About the Author
Steven Millhauser was born in 1943 in New York City, and grew up in Connecticut. He received a B.A. from Columbia University in 1965, and went on to pursue a doctorate in English at Brown University. He never completed his dissertation, but did complete a novel that was eventually published in a pared-down form under the title "From the Realm of Morpheus-as well as Edwin Mullhouse." However, it was for his stories that Millhauser became best known; immaculately written, curiously vivid, they trod on fantastic boards in a manner reminiscent of Poe or Borges, but with a distinctively American voice. After "In the Penny Arcade," Millhauser's collections continued with "The Barnum Museum" (1990), "Little Kingdoms" (1993), and "The Knife Thrower and Other Stories" (1998). Steven Millhauser lives in Saratoga Springs, New York, and teaches at Skidmore College.
