Skip to comments.DNC steps in to silence lawsuit over Obama birth certificate
Posted on 10/04/2008 9:16:33 AM PDT by Amityschild
The man suing Sen. Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee for proof of Obama's American citizenship is outraged that his own party rather than just providing the birth certificate he seeks would step in to silence him by filing a motion to dismiss his lawsuit.
As WND reported, prominent Pennsylvania Democrat and attorney Philip J. Berg filed suit in U.S. District Court two months ago claiming Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen and therefore not eligible to be elected president. Berg has since challenged Obama publicly that if the candidate will simply produce authorized proof of citizenship, he'll drop the suit.
Berg told WND the longer the DNC tries to ignore his lawsuit or make it go away instead of just providing the documents the more convinced he is that his accusations are correct.
(Excerpt) Read more at worldnetdaily.com ...
According to Section 3 of the 20th Amendment, if President-elect Obama "failed to qualify", Vice President-elect Biden would "act as President" (i.e., be Acting President) until "a President shall have qualified."
This means that Biden would be Acting President and President Obama would be a figurehead. If Obama resigned, Biden would become a full fledged President and would nominate a new VP via Section 2 of the 25th Amendment. On the other hand, maybe Acting President Biden would simply be a puppet of the figurehead President. It depends on how ambitious would be Biden.
I think you'll find the document interesting if you read through it. It addresses this issue.
I was thinking about the secret service.
Turns out Berg addressed the FEC and FBI agencies in his most recent court filing.
On page 13-14 of Filing #13, at the link in the article. Berg claims that the FEC and DNC have refused to investigate. The FBI claims they don't do investigations on candidates backgrounds. And the court is the only remedy that plantiff has left.
The original is in an archive, and may have different information. Remember, an Obama acolyte was found referencing records and potentially tampering with them. Regardless, there's no way to prove the electronic version, which gets written into the freshly printed "Certificate of Birth" is what was truth or what was on the original birth certificate.
We also need records of his mother's birth certificate and residency status. Regardless of what Obama's birth certificate says, she had to be over the age of 20 and here for a certain number of years for Obama to be legally considered a "natural born citizen."
Obama can be kicked out of the running in several ways through the allegations in the lawsuit.
what's going on with that Justia doc court order whose thread is locked?
(Let me see what else) Oh yeah, it's racist. That requirement was established by those old dead White guys.
He would only have US citizenship if his mother was an American citizen and if she had applied for a Certificate of Brith Abroad with the US embassy/consulate in the country that she was in. (Assuming he was born abroad.)
I've never seen any convincing proof Obama's birth, nor has he offered any.
Yes an HOUR LONG Hannity special all about everything we have been trying to get out for I don't know how long now. Tell everyone you know, at least someone is trying to do something about it. But I have to think that the ONLY reason the NY Slimes did a piece on the Ayers thing was because THEY KNOW shit is about to hit the fan, they are trying to lessen the impact. You always save this stuff until near end so that there isn't enough time for the other side to spin it. Just have to put that "reasonable doubt" into someone's mind...so they are reluctant to pull the Obama Communist lever and go with the safe choice in McCain.
"reasonable doubt" is only in criminal cases, this is a civil matter and only requires preponderence of the evidence.
Actually, B Hussein looks the most like his communist mentor Franklin Marshall Davis. Do we have a Barry Davis?
Resume of: B HUSSEIN OBAMA
Proven fake by more than one source
2.) Sketchy childhood
We know some details - Lots of gaps - muslim?
3.) College thesis has vanished
Was it anything like Micheles?
4.) Overseas travel
Pakistan? Why? On what passport?
5.) Law records
What cases did he represent?
6.) Senate records disappeared
What was he trying to hide?
7.) Associations
Rev Wright, Ft Flager, Ayers, Rezko, Davis, Michele etc.
8.) Senate voting record
That speaks for itself
Who would his choices be?
10.) Proven Liar
11.) Inexperience
12.) Racist, Sexist, Radical, Marxist views
B Hussein scares the hell out of me.

True, Obama's election would be invalid, however since there is no prcedence for this, it would become a court matter-—bigger than we have ever seen.
Drudge has a tip submission. I think everyone that sees this article should alert the media. At least Drudge.
So we'd have President McCain, who won the majority of the (valid) votes, and Vice President Biden, who won the majority of (valid) votes.
Join the fun ping!
I'm just guessing, but this has been posted numerous times. Maybe the administrator should have notes that?
Wrong, see post #202.
Doug, I'll certainly go $100 or even more:-)
And isn't that the worst part of this whole thing? They accused Bush of causing a Constitutional crisis, I had argument after shouting match with people who couldn't explain for me how this could be when he didn't have any hand in those in FL being so inept at properly casting a ballot, nor in Gore demanding umpteen recounts. But here, this could be rendered moot, no more problem, no precedent, no crisis whatever -- all 0bama needs to do is provide the court with proper documentation to show that indeed, he fulfills the Constitutional requirements to stand for election as president. What's the big deal, what is it so hard, why the stonewall??
Gee, would it be because he can't, d'ya s'pose??
I don't get why this would be a problem, assuming that Obama has a legal birth certificate. This could so easily be nipped in the bud by him releasing his birth certificate long ago, assuming that he has one.
Maybe this is an incorrect assumption, but, don't candidates running for office have to produce identification when they file papers to run for office?
The way Obama's campaign is treating this, you would think that where there's smoke, there's fire. If all they have to do to resolve it is produce an actual legal birth certificate, that would be such a routine procedure that it would have been done.
Can you imagine if this story ever hits the MSM, how hard it will be to explain, if the basic qualifications to run for president are questionable for one of our two major party candidates??????
did you go to the site to read the doc? The only thing i see wrong with it is that it isn't dated. It says "September ____, 2008." if it's authentic, it certainly belongs in "Breaking News." The other problem is that the citation says it's from Little Green Footballs but there's no mention of it there.
That is what I have been telling people. I am from California and my birth certificate looks more consistent with yours.
I shows addresses of mom/dad and much of the information you have.
Keating 5 is such old news and McCain was cleared on that.
The Electoral College will not declare McCain President, if Obama is not a citizen. The Democrat electors will vote for a Democrat. In any state carried by Obama, the electors are faithful party workers. They would never vote for McCain if Obama were ineligible. If that happened, they would vote for another Democrat instead.
We may get a constitutional history lesson if this lawsuit results in Obama being ineligible.
I understand that Philip Berg prepared that document for the judge to sign, and the judge has not signed it yet. So apparently the judge is still considering.
Here's another interesting thread
thanks that's the info I needed
That document that wasn't dated is something attorneys do, I am a paralegal and type them all of the time, you type the order so if you win your motion the Court just certifies and signs it. Its kind of like helping the court out. It was NOT a DENIAL you saw, it has not been ruled on yet is what my understanding is.
If he takes the Oath of Office and is found to have been elected illegally I am not really sure if he is automatically removed or whether he would need to be impeached and convicted by the Senate to be removed from office. Either way, Biden would then become President.
He was partially aborted in Kenya or Indonesia, and then born in Hawaii?
proably Hillary wanted and could have outed Obama HSEIN and his Kenyan birth earlier, but Obama Hussein may have been threatening her with gotcha information of his own and she couldn't afford to take the bad publicity, better to wait for 2012 when the stars would be better aligned!:-)
thank you . I thought we had it there.
Not only was he cleared, 4 of the 5 were Dems. It will be messy.
If Obama 'fails to qualify' then he's not going to be a figurehead, he's going back to the Senate (at least at first). Joe Biden will be President, for all intents and purposes.
It's not like Obama would qualify at a later time. There'd be no reason for Biden, who's wanted to be President for decades, to play puppet for a former rival who will go from Messiah to pariah in a single news cycle. If Obama is caught intentionally falsifying paperwork to become president, a large chunk of Democrats will turn on him, as well as all independents and Republicans.
There's about 20% of the electorate which would be happy if Obama made diapers out of the Constitution, and filled them while he was inaugurated. They'll scream bloody murder if a Constitutional challenge is raised, regardless of how fair or legal it is.
His mother was 17 at the time which means that Obama would not have automatically received citizenship with a Kenyan father.
Where, oh where are the Bernsteins and Woodwards of the 21st century?
I know that this concerns a man on the left side of the political specter, but isn't there fame and fortune awaiting any journalist who can unravel this scandal?
Or are they so afraid that their peers will never again speak to them for having killed off the chances of the "One We Are Waiting For"?
What a great idea.
or it needs is for the likes of FOX to look into this and raise this many times.
Then they need to ask obama and his staff when they appear on FOX why won't obama show his birth certificate and why is the DNC stopping people from seeing it.
Doesn't matter what side you are on this is for the integrity and presidency of America
It seems to me that with satan's help, the one is going to be unstoppable. No matter what we do, if he is destined to be the "hope" of the world, then we just have to wait for 3 and 1/2 years for it to be over. They won't be pleasant years. Prepare to repent and pray for our Lord to come quickly.
I've been following it all- but won't get my hopes up until the judge signs the order. I am surprised the judge didn't throw it out when Obama AND the DNC asked- which is the only cause I see for "hope".
The collusion between his campaign and the MSM is beyond belief- like today's whitewash piece in the NYT on his friendship with Bill Ayers. The majority of the country doesn't know or care about who and what Obama is- what he plans and who his associates are. The media is going to keep it that way.
Again, he provided one. But Berg is seeking release of the photocopy of the "long form" one.
From the link GOP provided the following is quite interesting and quite consistent with 0's MO.
Part of Obama's legal team is Joe Sandler of the Washington law firm Sandler, Reiff, and Young. Sandler is part of the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). CAIR is an organization with terrorist ties, and is an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holyland Foundation Hamas Funding trial.
Why is a candidate for President of the United States, a person who would become Commander-in-Chief of the United States forces and also CIC in the war on terror if he wins the election, using an attorney for CAIR, a group with known terrorist connections, to represent him in this lawsuit? Once again Obama leaves us with questions and no answers. And, once again, he aligns himself with someone with questionable character. Is his judgment really that bad? Or does he believe and support the same things these people believe?
Again, there is SO much we do not know about Obama, which is disturbing in itself. Even more disturbing is what we DO know about him. There are SO many red flags that people refuse to see or explore or think about or question him about. I am sure Obama supporters will just dismiss this, as they did with so many other bad associations, (Wright, Ayers, Dorhn, Rezko, Farrakhan) but I have to question what these people are thinking or whether they are even thinking at all?!
It would be important to post a live thread sometime tomorrow on Breaking so everyone here can watch.
Or, Berg raise a million dollars to be given to Obama's favorite charity if he simply provides his real original birth certificate.
Thanks for the ping. I have been lurking on the thread a bit this morning. Hope it goes somewhere. If there is nothing here..why doesn't the Obama campaign just release the original document? Berg said he would drop the suit if they did produce his BC! Seems a whole lot cheaper than filing suits to shut Berg down. ??????
Very suspicious!

The CCA, which is a union made up of special learning instructors, has been working without a contract this school year after the previous one expired.
A representative from the Washington Public Employee Relations Commission will moderate the bargaining so that both sides can reach an agreement. CCA Member Communications Coordinator Angie Gustafson said they hope the negotiations go well.
"We would love for it to be done today," said Gustafson. "We are willing to stay all night, even if the mediators themselves have to leave on their plane, we are willing to stay all weekend even."
Gustafson said the CCA will stand firm on what they believe is fair in terms of salary, contract length, sick leave and student safety.

Friday Feedback: This week, Jim H. comments on Diane Lefer's "Seeking Unity Across Sex, Race & Class" and then Diane responds.
Manufacturing Illusions:
Robert Reich: Suddenly, manufacturing is back – at least on the election trail. But don't be fooled. The real issue isn't how to get manufacturing back. It's how to get good jobs and good wages back. They aren't at all the same thing.
$1.4 Billion to Houston from Immigration Legalization
Michele Waslin: If all unauthorized workers in the Houston region were legalized and they and their employers paid Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance, and federal income taxes, additional tax revenues would exceed $1.4 billion.
The Jobs Report: Don't Break Out the Champagne
Robert Reich: When people ask me what Congress is likely to do I always say the same thing: The odds are in favor of nothing.
Trigger Deficit Cuts When Unemployment Drops to 5 Percent
Robert Reich: So the best of all worlds is to have a big jobs plan now, and also commit to automatic cuts triggered when unemployment falls to 5 percent.
The Corporate Pledge of Allegiance
Robert Reich: The Court thinks corporations have First Amendment rights to spend as much as they want on politics, and Romney (and most of his fellow Regressives) think they need lower taxes and fewer regulations in order to be competitive. These positions are absurd on their face.
How to Create More Jobs By Lowering Wages: Texas and America

Michele Waslin: While immigration restrictionists have long tried to demonize immigrant workers and blame them for high unemployment rates and other economic woes, the facts make it clear that immigrants actually create jobs and businesses and boost the wages of native-born workers.
Inflation — Fighting the Last War
Steven Conn: For thirty years inflation has not been a serious threat to the American economy, yet politicians and pundits continually fret about it. The never-ending worry about inflation is like fighting the last war rather than the current one. What's needed today is a war on unemployment and wage stagnation, not inflation.
Slouching Toward a Double Dip, For No Good Reason
Robert Reich: We are slouching toward a double dip because we're getting the problem wrong. Despite what Standard & Poor's says, notwithstanding what's occurring in Europe, and regardless of U.S. budget projections years from now — our current crisis is jobs, wages, and growth. We do not now have a debt crisis.
The Empty Bully Pulpit
Robert Reich: Barack Obama is one of the most eloquent and intelligent people ever to grace the White House, which makes his failure to tell the story of our era all the more disappointing and puzzling.

Manufacturing labor productivity increased in 2007 in 14 of the 16 economies compared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The Republic of Korea and Taiwan had the largest productivity increases of 8.7 percent each, while Germany followed with an increase of 5.0 percent.
The United States productivity increase of 4.1 percent was the fourth largest among the 16 economies compared. This was slightly above the 3.9-percent U.S. average annual increase since 1979.
Italy and Norway both had declines in productivity.
Manufacturing output increased in 15 of the 16 economies in 2007; Taiwan and Korea were the leaders in the growth of output. While 15 of the manufacturing sectors had increases in 2007 in output, 9 had increases in total hours worked; Norway and Denmark had the largest increases in total hours worked.

Today on the Inkandescent Radio Network
Staying Ahead of the Curve: Howard Pressman Helps Us Plan Ahead for Next Year's Tax Season
April 2016 — The Tax Man Cameth this month, and the good news is that it's behind us for them most part. So while all of that accounting is still at the top of your mind, here's something to consider for next year, according to Certified Financial Planner Howard Pressman: Roth accounts.
Indeed, we have Howard here today on Egan, Berger & Weiner's "Finance Rules" radio show to discuss the fact that Roth accounts are a great way to build flexibility into your retirement income planning. But to make the most of them — it's best to start planning long before retirement.
In this podcast interview you'll learn:
1. What is the difference between a Roth IRA and a Traditional IRA?
2. When you make a contribution to a Traditional IRA or 401(k) I understand that it is done before tax, meaning that you usually get a tax deduction equal to your contribution. Can you give us an example?
3. Are Roth accounts good strategies for younger investors?
4. What about for someone closer to retirement. Would a Roth still make sense?
5. You mentioned in your monthly e-newsletter to your clients that a Roth IRA may help lower Medicare premiums, can you explain that?
6. Last, tell us how to we can sign up for that e-newsletter so our viewers can get more financial planning tips like the ones you've shared with us today.

– Park activities you and your family participate in
– Your satisfaction with parks and park programs
– Safety of parks, community centers, athletic fields
– Key maintenance issues
– Recreational programs – both current and wish-list programs
Third-party DHM Research administers the survey and all responses will be reported in aggregate with no answers associated with respondents' names. The survey is divided into sections, and you can either answer all of the questions or just the ones that you find of interest.
Last Chance: April the Pig heading back to the farm
The large colorful pig that holds court outside of charley+may at 2225 Queen Anne Ave, is heading back to live with her artist-owner Sunday morning, September 2nd. Your last chance to take photos or visit her will be Saturday.
Kinga Czerska, the artist of April, was part of the art installation in 2001, Pigs on Parade fundraiser, that featured 100 unique and vibrantly painted pigs. April's first home was outside the W Hotel in downtown Seattle.
April was a great addition to Queen Anne for the last year and she'll be greatly missed!
Housekeeping: Cleaning up the Forum
The saying is that when the sun starts shining a little brighter, and warmer, to throw open those windows and get a little cleaning done. Well, here at Queen Anne View, we missed that part and have decided to do a little Fall cleaning instead.
Hopefully our readers have noticed that things are sprucing up around here. Posts are going out. Facebook is being updated. Good conversations are being had. And, for my part, the Forum is getting a good cleaning itself. Out go the spammers and multi-posting bots and in turn, in come the quality posts we look for.
We encourage our readers to treat the Forum as their own little hyperlocal Craigslist, community bulletin board, lost & found area and a space to post general info that the community may find informative or interesting. We'll be checking for spam at least daily and also checking to see if info warrants a post of its own on the main page (lost dog, break-ins and such).
As always, you can reach any of us at firstname.lastname@example.com

You may or may not have heard of renowned money manager Joel Greenblatt.
Over an illustrious career spanning more than twenty years, the Gotham Capital hedge fund manager racked up annualized returns of 40%, eclipsing the success of even his mentor, Warren Buffett.
Investors who were on board with Greenblatt for his entire tenure at Gotham would have seen a $10,000 investment balloon to more than $8 million, earning 800 times their initial stake.
Industry leaders like American Express, Liberty Media, Allstate, Expedia and Kraft Foods all carry this trait. And they each helped Greenblatt and fellow investors make millions...
These companies are just a few of a long list of spin-offs that all once belonged to larger parent companies. And they all flourished after leaving the nest.
Take spin-off biopharmaceutical maker AbbVie (NASDAQ: ABBV) for example. Since officially leaving its parent company, Abbott Laboratories, in January 2013, ABBV has risen more than 65%... beating the market by roughly 30%.
Here's another example. Just over two years ago, ConocoPhillips separated its upstream oil and gas production from its downstream refining operations to create two distinct companies. Shares of Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) were distributed to investors of ConocoPhillips and have since gone on to nearly triple in value, a healthy increase of 180%, compared to a return of just 45.4% for the S&P.
The success or these spin-offs aren't just isolated incidents. In fact, this phenomenon has been tested numerous times over the years with compelling results. One of the most famous studies was conducted by consulting firm McKinsey in 1999. McKinsey reviewed 168 restructurings over a 10-year period and found that shares of spin-offs produced annualized gains of 27% in the 24 months following separation, versus a 17% gain for the S&P 500.
That performance could have turned a $10,000 investment into more than $109,000 over 10 years against just $48,000 in a S&P 500 index fund. And that's taking the good with the bad -- without any effort made to identify the best-positioned spin-offs offering the most potential.
Skeptics might say that the results are skewed by a handful of big winners. But the facts say otherwise. A Lehman Brothers study between 2003 and 2006 found that two-thirds of all spin-offs went on to outperform the market. And since 2003, Bloomberg's Spin-Off Index has beaten the market 4-to-1. Check out the chart below.
Not bad for businesses that were essentially the "black sheep" of their parent companies. But there are several factors behind why spin-offs perform so well after separation.
You see, spin-offs happen for a number of reasons... Sometimes it's to cut loose certain operations to satisfy anti-trust requirements. Other times it's to resolve friction or conflicts of interest between a subsidiary and parent.
But the most successful spin-offs happen when a parent company wants to simply un-tether a fast-growing business that needs to be set free.
No matter how bright its prospects, smaller subsidiaries or business units tend to get lost in the shadow of the parent. Because their financial contribution is buried, they often don't get the full recognition they deserve. But once a growing arm of a company is spun off, the market can finally appreciate its true value.
Spin-offs also tend to be overachievers, if for no other reason than the new firm's leaders are suddenly free from bureaucracy and find themselves sitting on a bundle in stock options in the newly-formed company -- which provide a "rocket fuel"-like incentive for the company's growth.
So how can investors harness the power of spin-off companies?
One of the biggest opportunities I've found today is in a company that is walking the same path that ConocoPhillips took a couple years ago. It has a big spinoff planned for later this year. I talked about this stock in this month's issue of my premium newsletter advisory, Total Yield.
Like other "Total Yield" stocks, this one is a reliable dividend payer that gives away two "extra" payments in addition to dividends -- the secret ingredients for maximizing capital gains potential. (I talk about these "extra" payments in more detail in this presentation).
It's impressive enough that this Total Yield spin-off has raised its dividend for 12 straight years -- increasing shareholders' income streams by 476%. But even more impressive is how management has paid its shareholders $2.6 billion in "extra" payments over the past year -- 24% more than it paid in dividends. The company is already planning to pay shareholders $1.7 billion more in the future.
Besides this company, there are several funds created for the sole purpose of identifying the hidden opportunity in spin-offs. One of the oldest of these funds -- the First Investors Special Situations Fund (FISXX) -- has chalked up an annualized return of 9.2% over the past decade, outrunning the S&P 500 by more than 150 basis points per year.
Regardless of where you choose to find them, history is filled with examples of newly-listed stocks that shot higher in the weeks and months after being spun off from a parent company. And with a track record of beating the S&P 500 index by 4-to-1, these are companies worth looking into for your own portfolio.
P.S. -- Years of exhaustive research proves that a "Total Yield" strategy outperforms dividend-only strategies without question. Last year, 24 of the top 25 Total Yield stocks doubled the S&P's returns (and some by even more). These stocks gained 124%... 132%... even 224% -- in less than 8 months. To learn more about Total Yield investing and get names and ticker symbols of these stocks like the one I mentioned earlier, follow this link.

2002 Ford Mondeo LX 1.8 petrol 110PS from UK and Ireland
I am impressed!
Nothing yet...
General Comments:
This car replaces http://www.carsurvey.org/review_24034.html
I have not yet had it for a week, but I can tell already, I am impressed. It is smooth, quiet, comfortable, heavy, solid, and big. All of these factors are important to me in a car. It is slightly (noticeably) slower than my Saab 900 was, but I am in my 40s now, so 0-60 is not an issue. You will see from my Saab review, that I lean towards European (not American) cars. As far as the Mondeo is concerned, I think it is fair to say it is a European car, even if Ford's fatherland is the U.S.
Anyway; for now, I am very happy with my decision... I will throw in a few updates over the coming few years, like I did with the SAAB.
I love the 'retro' interior styling, no fuss non-hi-tech controls on the dash, the simple but good stereo, and the Aluminium trim on the steering wheel and gear change lever. And the clock ;- Art!
The interior look and feel of this car is how it sold itself to me.
My sister in-law's Toyota Avensis is like a rocket-scientist's microwave oven in comparison (unnecessarily complicated); unappealing.
P.s. I am still on my first tank of petrol... looking good!.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 3rd April, 2006
25th Oct 2006, 04:29
Where will I start.
I have scratched it 3 times. I have had a rear wheel blowout. The reverse lights have failed. The engine makes a rattle noise when at low revs.
In a word, I have had enough of this car. My problem now is, how do I get even close to the amount I paid for it back so that I can replace it with something a bit less ford.
Any suggestions?

Fire at HPCL refinery
By Express News Service
Published: 27th November 2008 01:04 PM
Last Updated: 14th May 2012 05:04 PM
VISAKHAPATNAM: Huge flames from atop the hillocks, north of the Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) Visakha Refinery this evening spread panic in and around Malkapuram area.
A large number of people rushed to the refinery as rumours spread that there was a massive blast at the HPCL site.
It came as a relief to the agitated residents when it was confirmed officially that the flames had nothing to do with the rifinery.
Three hillocks surrounded by bushes around the refinery helped fuel the sparks from the refinery which constantly emits flue gases (waste from the crude) at the Flair Tip (a 100 feet chimney) which is a kilometre away from the refinery. The flue gas continuously burns at the Flair Tip which is a common sight every day. The HPCL pumps out LPG to burn the flue gas in the air.
At around 3 p.m. today, flames from the Flair Tip spread to the dried hay stack and bushes on the hillocks accompanied by squally winds causing an inferno-like situation. As the fire and smoke spread across the hillock, some locals pressed the panic buttons stating that there was a mishap at the refinery.
The HPCL management swung into action to contain the fire.
As the area is inaccesible, the HPCL fire wing personnel and those of Coromandel Fertilisers were pressed into service to extinguish the fire. Speaking to `Express' HPCL Executive Director PAB Raju denied there was any accident at the refinery.

Nishioka Not Sure if He Plans To Continue His Career
By Ryan Burton
BoxingScene.com caught up with former super bantamweight champion Toshiaki Nishioka (39-5-3, 24KOs) after his 9th round TKO loss to Nonito Donaire at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.
The 36 year-old Japanese fighter had previously said that the only fight that motivated him was the Donaire showdown. Now that he has had that fight I asked him if he wanted to continue his career
"That's a good question. I really can't answer that. I'm going to have to really think about it after I rest," Nishioka told BoxingScene.com

Just retire. Did you see how fast his corner threw in the towel? They're too delicate with Nishioka. They already knew he's on his way out, no need to get hurt when you're about to retire.Post a Comment - View More User Comments (39)

Aries Astrology Ring
need help?
Call us: +44 (0) 20 7229 4848
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
In the Ancient Greek tale, Aries was the magical ram with the Golden Fleece who rescued two children, Phrixos and Helle, from their murderous stepmother, Ino. As he flew across the sea between Europe and Asia, Helle fell into the water which became known as Hellespont. His fleece was later stolen by Jason and the Argonauts.
The ring has split shoulders supporting two tiny black diamonds which represent the infinite darkness of the unknown. In the centre, a circle - considered by the Ancient Greeks to be the most geometrically perfect shape – and within it a cluster of the stars accurately forms the constellation, suspended in space by a delicate wire.
This ring usually comes in bright polished Sterling Silver but also look great in oxidised silver if you prefer.
Product : Unfortunately it is bigger than I thought. Maybe a picture of it on the ear would have been useful.

AUSTIN, Texas — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded $12.6 million to the Railroad Commission of Texas, the state's energy agency, for the purchase of 245 propane school buses and 637 other vehicles.
The DOE Clean Cities grant funds, part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, are matched by $37.7 million from the grant participants.
The grant also includes about $2 million to install 35 propane refueling stations on properties owned by partner fleets. The stations will allow fleets to lower costs by buying fuel in bulk, access federal motor fuel excise tax credits and refuel at the times most convenient to their schedules.
According to commission officials, the agency aims to reduce consumption of petroleum by 12.1 million gallons and increase consumption of propane by 15.9 million gallons in the U.S. The majority of propane is produced in North America as a byproduct of natural gas processing. Greenhouse gas emissions will also be reduced, as propane is cleaner burning compared to diesel engines. Fleets new to propane will be located near experienced propane fleets to increase their chances of success, officials said.
Local dealers have been assisting school districts in submitting applications for the grant money, about half of which will help offset the incremental cost of purchasing new school buses.

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer has confirmed to BoxingScene.com that Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) vs. Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs) will take place at catch-weight of 152-pounds, on September 14th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Showtime Pay-Per-View will carry the event.
Four titles will be at stake, says Schaefer, with the Canelo staking the WBC, WBA and Ring junior middleweight titles, and Mayweather putting up the WBA "super" title that he won from Miguel Cotto last May.
"Both fighters feel comfortable with that [weight], so it will obviously be for Canelo's WBC and Ring Magazine belts, and his WBA belt, and Floyd's WBA super champion belt at 154. It is going to be for all the belts, all the marbles, and it's going to be for [the] pound-for-pound [status]...who will be the one?," Schaefer told BoxingScene.com.

National Public Lands Day
Saturday, September 26, 2009
What is National Public Lands Day?
National Public Lands Day is the nation's largest hands-on volunteer effort to improve and enhance public lands. An estimated 130,000 volunteers will grab shovels and gloves to improve the nation's public lands on September 26, 2009 as part of National Public Lands Day, an annual event held at over 2,000 sites across the country.
How can I help?
Each year, we ask Americans to set aside one day – the last Saturday in September – to "lend a hand to the lands" that we use to hike, bike, climb, swim, explore or picnic and just plain relax. One third of America's land is in public hands, and it's our duty to maintain them. Hampton is 63 acres of 600 million acres that belong to the American public.
Come to Hampton on Saturday, September 26 from 9:00 a.m. and Noon. We will be planting trees, removing Gimson Weed an invasive plant species, and performing woods maintenance.
Meet at the park offices at 535 Hampton Lane, Towson MD 21286.
All are welcome to participate! You may contact the park at 410.823.1309 x 401 for more information or to register yourself or your group. Registration is not necessary, but is preferred.

But the Cardinals have shown significant improvement in several other defensive categories, a big reason the club has been more consistent this season.
The Cardinals are fourth in third-down efficiency (35 percent), a 9.4 percent improvement over last season. They are eighth in red zone efficiency (45.2 percent), an 18.4 percent decline. And on average, they are yielding about a touchdown less per game than last season.
The poor showing in those categories last season led Whisenhunt to fire coordinator Clancy Pendergast and promote linebackers coach Bill Davis. It's hard to argue with the results.
The Cardinals have still had some poor games, faltering badly in losses to the Colts and Panthers. But they've been much better than last season.
In 2008, the Cardinals gave up at least 30 points five times. It's happened just twice this year.
Davis is partly responsible because he's taken fewer chances than Pendergast. The Cardinals still blitz, but they've been better at playing situational defense. In third-and-long situations, they've done an excellent job of playing conservative and making the tackle short of the first downs.
It's helped, too, that they've shored up the secondary.
Replacing cornerback Rod Hood with Bryant McFadden has been an upgrade. Free safety Antrel Rolle has grown into the position after moving from cornerback two years ago. The defensive line is deeper, so the starters get a couple of breathers in every game.
The question now, however, is if this defense can play as well as last year's defense did in the postseason.
Pendergast had great schemes designed in the playoffs, and the players executed them.
SERIES HISTORY: 69th regular-season. Packers lead, 42-22-4. They've won five of the last six, including the last meeting, in 2006. This will be an interesting game because the clubs are likely to face each other the following week in the first round of the playoffs. Green Bay can do no better than the No. 5 seed, so there is less reason for them to take this game seriously than the Cardinals. A victory keeps alive Arizona's hopes of a second or third seed. The Cardinals will know by kickoff if a second seed is still in play, so it's questionable how long Whisenhunt will stick with his starters.
--There were no surprises among the Cardinals four Pro Bowl selections: Defensive tackle Darnell Dockett, receiver Larry Fitzgerald, safety Adrian Wilson and cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
It was a surprise that right tackle Levi Brown was an alternate. It was interesting, too, how Ken Whisenhunt took the opportunity to challenge Brown to improve.
"I hope it provides the impetus for him to become even better," Whisenhunt said. "Maybe this will be recognition to the progress he has made and a lot of time it spurs the player to work even harder to make that next step."
--SS Adrian Wilson now has 20.5 sacks and 23 interceptions, becoming the 10th player in history to record at least 20 in each category. After recording a sack against the Rams on Sunday, Wilson was congratulated in the locker room by Larry Wilson, the Cardinals Hall of Fame safety.
"It meant a lot to me," said Adrian Wilson. "To know that he was the guy who invented the safety blitz and revolutionized the game. You have to be appreciative of the people who came before and laid those bricks down."
--QB Kurt Warner has now thrown 100 touchdown passes for two teams, the Rams and Cardinals. Fran Tarkenton is the only other quarterback to pass for 100 touchdowns for two teams (Giants and Vikings). Warner feels for his old team, the Rams, who are 1-14.
"Sure. It's never easy to go through that," he said. "I've been on some teams that have struggled to get in the win column. ... It's easy to kind of fall by the wayside and give up. That's the one good thing you don't see with that football team.
"Coach (Steve Spagnuolo) has them doing a great job of battling, fighting, running around, flying around and making plays. I think it's just a matter of time."
--WR Larry Fitzgerald caught his 12th touchdown pass, tying a career high set last year.
--Warner passed for 196 yards in the second quarter against the Rams, the second most of any quarter in his career.
--CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie's interception was his third in the last two games and gives him six for the season, a career high. It's the most by a Cardinal since Dexter Jackson had six in 2003.
BY THE NUMBERS: 33 -- That's the number of years that passed between 10-win seasons for the Cardinals. The Cardinals won that many games this year for the first time since 1976.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "I'm very proud of my team. We got off to a 1-2 start and Jimmy Johnson (of FOX) actually said to stick a fork in us, we're done. Well, we're not done quite yet." -- DT Darnell Dockett on the Cardinals winning 10 games.
Coach Ken Whisenhunt probably won't play Kurt Warner the entire game Sunday, unless he has a chance to secure a No. 2 seed. Warner will play enough to stay sharp, but Whisenhunt won't expose him to a pass rush if nothing is on the line.
The Cardinals need to start getting some big plays out of inside linebacker Karlos Dansby. Dansby has been productive, but he hasn't made any game-changing plays lately. He's forced only one fumble this year, has one interception and one sack. He's never had fewer than 3.5 sacks in his previous five seasons. He hasn't had fewer than two interceptions since 2006 and he's forced at least two fumbles every season since his rookie year.
Just as he did last year, cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is peaking as the playoffs near. He has three interceptions in his last two games, despite playing with a painful turf toe. He had two interceptions in the post-season last year.
--S Rashad Johnson is improving in his role as a nickel and dime defensive back. A rookie, Johnson was slow to develop and spent about a month on the inactive list during the middle of the year. That seemed to motivate him.
--DE Calais Campbell is tied for the team lead with seven sacks. He should become even more of a force as he refines his rushing techniques. Campbell is a solid run defender.
--K Mike Nugent has made both field goal attempts since being signed two weeks ago because of an injury to Neil Rackers. Nugent's kickoffs have been short, however.
--LT Jeremy Bridges needs to play much better than he has the last two weeks as Mike Gandy's replacement. Bridges has been beaten with speed rushes outside. He doesn't have great foot speed, and the Cardinals are going to have to give him help against elite rushers.

- The Original Wonder Soap
- Proudly Made Since 1878 in America
- 100% Plant-Based Pine Tar
- Celiac Support Association Certified Gluten-Free
Hardworking ingredients are the heart of our natural soapmaking tradition.
An Original Recipe Trusted For Generations
Ideal for showering, shampooing and facial grooming, this 3-in-1 wonder is made with natural pine tar oil to deeply cleanse, deodorize and moisture from head to toe.
Other Ingredients
Sodium palmate, sodium cocoate/sodium palm/kernelate, water (aqua), glycerin, pinus paulstris wood tar, sodium chloride, sodium gluconate.
No phthalates, sulfates, parbens, edta, glutens, animal by-products, artificial fragrances or colorants.
Let me start off by saying that this soap is fantastic (as long as you can tolerate the smell). It does a great job at keeping your skin hydrated, even during the winter months. It is worth noting that the 4.25 oz bar is the original formula from 1878 which contains sodium tallowate (animal fat) as its base. Although I do not consider this a problem, some users may prefer a vegetable based alternative. If so, go with the 3.25 bar. It contains all of the same ingredients as the 4.25 oz bar, minus the animal fat.
I ordered this soap after developing an extremely severe rash after delivering my son. This condition, known as PUPPS, occurs in some small percent of pregnant women/new mums. The rash was AWFUL -- insanely itchy and spreading fast all over my body. Medical science doesn't quite know what causes it, and the GP couldn't offer me any medication as I was breastfeeding. On researching it online, I found that several women had benefited from using Grandpa's Wonder Pine Tar Soap, so I ordered some. iHerb delivered it in record time for a very reasonable cost (I live in the UK and it's not available here). The soap is FANTASTIC! My rash was much, much better in a few days, 80-90% better in 2 weeks, and now, 3 weeks later, it has more or less vanished. This soap saved my life!! It does have a bit of an unusual smell, but I got used to it very quickly.

This soap cleans well.

I haven't used Pine tar soap since I was a teenager (and we won't go into how long ago that was!) so I was happy to see it available here. It makes wonderful lather and cleans very well. I use it to shampoo my hair at least once a week, 'course its ok for the rest of you as well. Scent is distinctive, but "clean smelling", so I don't find it offensive. Of course the scent disappears when my hair is dry so that's ok.

The Clarkston City Council approved a $2,600 grant from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission. According to Police Chief Joel Hastings, the money will provide overtime funding to crack down on impaired driving and to enforce seat belts.
"They're not required to take any other calls, any other issues during that time they're working under the grant," said Hastings. "And I think it's effective in reducing some of those traffic problems we do have because of that."
This will be the eighth year the Clarkston Police receives this specific grant. Extra patrols could begin as early as November 27th.
