Posted on 09/21/2009 10:11:47 PM PDT by Red Steel
DISMISS, to be supplemented by filing Plaintiffs Second
Amended Complaint on or before October 2, 2009
Come now the Plaintiffs with this their Preliminary
Response toDefendants September 4, 2009, Document 56
Motion to Dismiss (with reservation of rights to Respond
further by filing Plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint
on or before Friday, October 2, 2009).
POLITICAL RELATIVITY vs. CONSTITUTIONAL ABSOLUTES: IS THE
Fundamentally, this case comes down to a single
bifurcated question question: (1A) does the constitution
mean what it says when it lays down absolute parameters,
such as the age and citizenship qualifications to be
President, and (1B) to whom does the investigation and
enforcement of this constitutional provision: to the
Congress, the People, or can the President get by merely
asserting his qualifications without presenting evidence
which would be competent as Summary Judgment
(admissible) evidence under Rule 56 of the Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure? The Plaintiffs have brought their
complaint as a matter of first impression to ask this
Court to determine, find, hold, and rule that the
investigation and enforcement of this right belongs to
the people, even members of a discrete and insular
minority of the people, even if this group lacks
majoritarian political power. Plaintiffs respond to the
Defendants Motion to Dismiss and ask this Court to
rule, pursuant to the First and Ninth Amendments that
they may sue to enforce constitutional absolutes, such
as the constitutional requirements for President of the
United States. Plaintiffs assert an inalienable,
reserved right to sue for Constitutional conformity in
this case even though they concede that the Defendants
have shown that primary, first line actions could and
should have been taken by members of Congress or the
Electoral College, pursuant to the Twelfth and
Twentieth Amendments for instance. Case
8:09cv00082DOCAN,Document 56, Filed 09/04/2009, Page 2o
of 32: Defendants Motion to Dismiss at 13, ll. 114. Of
course, what Congress must do in the case of obvious
electoral deadlocks or recognized and admitted problems
with qualification for office is not at all the point
raised by Plaintiffs complaint and evidence.
Plaintiffscomplaint and evidence allege and confirm
that the Presidency in 2008 was taken by fraud, and not
even by fraud in the counting of votes, but by fraud in
the traditional common law sense of a material
misrepresentation of an important fact upon which
Plaintiffs could be reasonably expected to rely to their
detriment, and to the detriment of constitutional
government. The Constitutions textual commitment of
this responsibility is a responsibility that Congress
has embraced. Both the House and the Sentate have
standing committees with jurisdiction to decide
questions relating to Presidential elections. Idem:
Defendants Motion to Dismiss at 13, ll 1517. Where
Congress has done absolutely nothing to investigate or
prosecute a question, Defendants position appears to be
that this very inaction or acquiescence by Congress
creates a presumption of legitimacy. Apparently,
Defendants would have this Court believe, hold, rule,
and accept that utter and complete inaction, stony
silence even by the Vice‐President of an opposing party
sitting as President of the Senate during the
certification of the electoral vote to Congress pursuant
to 3 U.S.C. §15, is and must be sufficient to satisfy
the people that the President has met the Constitutional
qualifications for office. Idem: Motion to Dismiss at

That's her MO, isn't it?
She gives interviews, freely, to sites like TMP Muckraker, who portray her as the clown queen of the Repulican "rightwingers.
She willingly" appears on MSNBC, who rip her to shreds as a deranged "rightwing" nutjob.
When are people -- meaning those people who aren't intentionally sabotaging the right -- going to wise up about Taitz?

Cheney either forgot or intentionally missed to query Congress if they had any objections to Barack Obama becoming president. Cheney failed in his ministerial duties as prescribed by "3 United States Code §15." The omission by Cheney may come back to bite Obama in his @$$ since...
The thrust of Obama's and the government's Motion to Dismiss is that Congress and the Electoral process are the ones who vet presidential candidates and no one else. The government stepped in it here. As pointed out that they failed to follow procedure.
In the Governments Motion to Dismiss, they conveniently omitted the following passage as it is written statute 3 U.S.C. §15:
"Upon such reading of any such certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall call for objections, if any. Every objection shall be made in writing, and shall state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground thereof "
Cheney left a big hole that may increase to the size of Meteor Crater, AZ in the governments argument, so conveniently not explained to you.
Thanks Tru man Dog Z.
Well lets hope all the offense does not leak the defense.
As Slim and Cinnamon Sue sing the old Cow range songs....
Dont Rope Me in.
IOW Play the poker hand well and win with honesty and integrity.
It's exactly the same as the other one.
Are you referring to some invisible ink that has to be passed over a candle to read?
Duh, is that what he did. The link and the "BC" he posted were exactly the same and I wondered what the deal was, including the bogus birth place.
I think I need more caffiene.
There was an Ohio member of Congress who did raise his hand as he was about to object, but Cheney ignored him as he ignored to ask Congress for objections.
Now, if Taitz (or any other lawyer pursuing the eligibility actions) could find even just one single representative or senator who could affirm that the Rep/Senator was not permitted to file an objection, that person would have standing to sue, and the case would be proceeding post haste.
Who knows, this case may lead to that.
Gary Kreep had an entirely different argument in his Opposition to Motion to Dismiss, filed on 9/18.
His argument is that the Electoral College "lacks the power to make eligibility determinations." IOW, it has an essentially "ministerial" (i.e. clerical) function of counting the electoral votes, and any objections would be to the correct tallying/casting of votes -- not to qualifications of the those voted for.
It's an interesting interpretation, and worth reading. Here.
Not any more. No discovery is allowed until after the motion to dismiss is ruled on.
Stop trolling. I never said before the motion to dismiss is decided. Do try to keep up ACORN employee.
Then what does Leo's asinine theory have to do with anything current?
Maybe Leo has a good reason to keep documents quiet. Making everything public right away can be a bad strategy. This is especially true when you are looking for more documents. She needs to concentrate on her cases and avoid criticizing what Leo and Gary Kreep are doing.
From what he's posted, there aren't any documents -- just an idea of how to, with some luck, obtain information and/or documents, based on the law and the statements made by the HI Dept. of Health.
That was a general advisory and in no way meant to single you out.
Thanks - I'm not a complete idiot, there are still some parts missing...
No problem, jefe.
Can you source that document image?
Or did you just register here a week ago to troll?
Leo, while initiating a suit against HI vital statistics, still is asserting that Orly's Keyes case will be dismissed for lack of properly stated claim and lack of standing.
Today I suggested to Leo that Judge Carter seems to have actually bent over backwards to recognize and articulate Orly's key claims that Obama is not NBC, was born in Kenya and may still be an Indonesian citizen, but Leo wasn't buying it. Leo still expects Orly's case to be dismissed.
Here is my post to Leo and his editorial comments as "Ed." included:
Seizethecarp Says:
September 22, 2009 at 11:26 am
Your current effort to obtain from HI any requests to amend Obamas vital records are fascinating, but could be mooted by Judge Carter on Oct. 5.
[Ed. They can't be mooted. Judge Carter has no jurisdiction of Hawaii UIPA requests.]
Your following comment about Orlys case has been affirmed by nearly every lawyer on the blogs that I have read:
The underlying case is a loser. The pleadings ramble and they dont do what pleadings are supposed to do which is simply make a claim. The pleadings here are used to try the case and they contain so many things the court must ignore and they ignore many things the court must have before it. The plaintiffs have no standing so no pleadings can fix that.
However, despite these shortcomings, somehow Judge Carter has managed to describe Orlys case in a clear articulation of claims regarding both the constitutional question of law as to the meaning of natural born citizen and the fact question of whether Obama was born in Kenya.
Judge Carter said:
On January 20, 2009, Plaintiffs brought suit, alleging, in pertinent part, that President Barack Obama (the President) does not meet the qualifications required for the Office of the President, as specified by Article II, §1, cl. 5 of the United States Constitution. More specifically, Plaintiffs allege that the President has not shown that he is a natural born citizen of the United States. Plaintiffs argue that there is evidence to show that the President was actually born in Kenya, and not Hawaii, thus making him ineligible to be President. Plaintiffs also argue that the President was a citizen of Indonesia and has not gone through the proper immigration procedures to regain his United States Citizenship.
[Ed. Isn't it fascinating that Judge Carter does not address the core issue in this paragraph. Judge Carter discusses Obama's BC issues - place of birth, he discusses Indonesia, but the one FACT which is not disputed but is rather admitted by Obama - that at birth he was governed by Great Britain as a British citizen - that fact and its relevance to nbc status is ignored by Judge Carter.
I told you, they failed to properly plead that issue and the Judge is throwing a sign that he is not considering that issue because it's not included in his summary.]
I take from this that Judge Carter is cutting Orly slack to which she may not be entitled, but to which the country and the Constitution are entitled, unlike Judge Land, Judge Robinson or even SCOTUS when they declined to hear your case.
Judge Carter has also made repeated statements in open court that indicate that while he will hear the Motion to Dismiss on Oct. 5 with a judicially proper open mind, he is inclined to hear the case on the merits. This can only mean that Judge Carter, and perhaps Judge Carter alone sees at least one of Orly and/or Kreeps plaintiffs as having standing sufficient to justify discovery regarding the claims he was able to articulate for Orly and he sees a remedy.
But which plaintiff could Judge Carter be regarding as having standing? You have stated that Keyes has no standing because had no chance of winning:
[Ed. You know... if you're not going to be honest and admit Keyes had no chance of winning... then I can't really help you. Maybe another blog is what you are looking for.]
I fully agree with your assessment of Keyes prospects, but it does seen unfair to any eligible candidate regardless of prospects to have an ineligible candidate dilute possible incremental career benefits of placing higher in a smaller field, not to mention having the ineligible candidate win!
Were you relying on the following analysis by Tokaji and his reference to the Fulani case in concluding that Keyes has no standing?
The plaintiff in Robinson, a would-be elector for a minor party candidate, has a somewhat stronger claim of injury than the plaintiffs in the other cases. But while his interest may be somewhat stronger than that of other members of the public, such a plaintiff still has a serious Article III standing problem. The chances of the candidate winning any electors from any statewhether or not McCain is in the raceare exceedingly remote. On occasion, the Court has found an impediment to competition sufficient to establish standing. There is also a Seventh Circuit case, Fulani v. Hogsett, in which a minor-party presidential candidate was held to have standing to challenge the certification of both major parties 1988 presidential candidates. In that case, however, the court found that the minor party candidate could conceivably have won the Indiana election if she obtained the relief sought. By contrast, Robinsons preferred candidate Alan Keyes is exceedingly unlikely to win any electoral votes in California, even if McCain were disqualified. Robinsons claim of injury is thus too speculative and insufficiently imminent to satisfy Article III, as the district court correctly concluded.
While Tokaji agrees with you regarding Keyes, Tokaji does say in that passage:
On occasion, the Court has found an impediment to competition sufficient to establish standing.
[Ed. I was more inclined to be going under the Newman holding from SCOTUS.]
Perhaps it is in these on occasion cases that Judge Carter has found room to consider Keyes to have standing, and perhaps the fact that Carter is in the Ninth Circuit, not the Seventh Circuit might give him some additional latitude.
Regardless of the prospects of Orlys case on appeal for the reasons you have cited, if Judge Carter orders discovery of Obamas vital records in HI on Oct. 5 and Obamas HI birth is confirmed to have been witnessed in a hospital by an MD, then way will be clear for the public to focus on the quo warranto NBC issue, correct?
[ed. True... but if the case is dismissed it may appear as if the nbc issue was dismissed with it. Not accurate. The issue wasn't properly plead and is not technically before the court in my opinion. We shall see if he goes to it.]
Cheney, President of the Senate, failed in his task to ask for objections during the joint secession of Congress after reading "all the certificates and papers purporting to be certificates [votes] of the electoral votes, which certificates and papers shall be opened, presented." If there were objections from any tandem of Congressman and Senator, the next step is for them to put their objections in writing. This is the correct procedure in accordance with the statute above.
It is besides the point that objections, if any, were not presented before or after the joint session of Congress. Cheney failed to do as prescribed by law. For Taitz to not enlighten judge Carter about the violation by the Senate President, would be negligence on her part to her Plaintiffs. As a matter of fact, Taitz has made it an important part of here opposition to the government's Motion to Dismiss by arguing it upfront on page 2 of her filing.
We will see on October 5th this or any other parts of her filing hold sway with judge Carter. No one here really knows for sure how this all is going to turn out.
From TITLE 3, CHAPTER 1 § 15:
"...Two tellers shall be previously appointed on the part of the Senate and two on the part of the House of Representatives, to whom shall be handed, as they are opened by the President of the Senate, all the certificates and papers purporting to be certificates of the electoral votes, which certificates and papers shall be opened, presented, and acted upon in the alphabetical order of the States, beginning with the letter A; and said tellers, having then read the same in the presence and hearing of the two Houses, shall make a list of the votes as they shall appear from the said certificates; and the votes having been ascertained and counted according to the rules in this subchapter provided, the result of the same shall be delivered to the President of the Senate, who shall thereupon announce the state of the vote, which announcement shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons, if any, elected President and Vice President of the United States, and, together with a list of the votes, be entered on the Journals of the two Houses. Upon such reading of any such certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall call for objections, if any. Every objection shall be made in writing, and shall state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground thereof, and shall be signed by at least one Senator and one Member of the House of Representatives before the same shall be received...."
-end snip-
First, as you plainly see, Cheney should have complied with by calling congressman -"shall call" - for their objections.
And second, after he called on Congress to verbally object, put their objections in writing.
I wouldn't know where to start to document it, but it has occurred to me that the payment process for the cash for clunkers debacle may also be 'steered' by whom has been donating more to Republicans than to Democrats ... what better wya to put the dealerships into a disasterous financial pinch than to withhold beyond thirty day carry over the reimbursements to Republican fdonars, while expediting the payments to democrat donors? The criminal democrats pulled a blatant criminal act in tow parts when they selected Republican donors to close in the Chrysler illegal forced closings, then transferred stock and parts to democrat donor dealerships. Why would they miss this subtle way to squeeze Republican donors even more, and in all brand categories? The entire cash for clunkers fiasco was aimed solely at getting stored units off of lots so union worker would have work while the nation is tanking, economically. And it did that quite nicely for the criminal union thugs the obamanoid administration needs to squeeze the populace at the chosen times.
Standing among Chrysler dealers who donated to Republicans or were located in conservative districts that Obama's Car Czar targeted for closer? A possible way to get to Obama.
So you know for a fact that Taitz consults with no lawyers - ever? That would not pass the smell test.
The idea that Cheney is kowtowed by Obots is a rather striking idea.
No not Cheney. Cheney failed to call for objections to Obama's presidency as prescribed by law. Society in general, to include Congress, has cowed in the face of being painted as "racist" or some other nonsense where none really exist - which is used as a political tactic by the left and Obama. You see it everyday from Jimmy Carter to Eric Holder who have playing the BS race card. Furthermore, Obama like clockwork, used the race card on or about every two weeks during his campaign from Spring to Fall of last year. Yeah, I can see why Congress critters who may have had objections to Obama may have ate their words when it was time to speak up.
If they didn't file a written objection, they didn't properly object. You can't say I objected, but I failed to follow the required procedure to make the objection, but my objection should have been heard anyway.
Cheney failed in his duties to follow the statute to "call" on Congress no matter if there were any objections or not. First, Cheney should have called for objections, then the written objections would follow - if any.
How do we know that he was about to object? If he was, where's he BEEN for the past nine months? He was identified (on Orly's blog) on January 31. If he was trying to object, and if he had followed the rules regarding his objection, then HE has a potential claim. Others cannot assert the claim on his behalf, but he has a claim. Where is he? If he is "kowtowing" to PC-ness, then he should be challenged on this.
We don't for sure, He possibly changed his mind because of the withering leftist BS for objecting he would have faced for doing so. Many FReepers here who saw his hand raised thought he raised his hand in objection, Cheney didn't give him a chance at the time now did he? Again, the point is Cheney did not follow the law, therefore, it's an opening for the plaintiff to point this out to the judge no matter what Cheney's reason for not doing so.
The criminal closure of Chrysler dealerships was but one of at least four things this bastard has done since taking office which, were it not for the criminal enterprised democrat party holding the House and Seante, rise to the level of high crimes warranting impeachment and removal, followed by trial and imprisonment. Sadly for America, democrat voters as well as the criminals they usher into power are corrupted beytond redemption. And the GOP is not far behind them in their perfidy.
Especially since Gary Kreep IS part of her case, whether she likes it or not.
I believe the law states that the objections must be made in writing, signed by at least one member from each House. Where any such objections submitted?
The Chrysler dealers should get with Leo to write up a quo warranto action.
In its motion to dismiss, the defense argued that the "The Constitutions commitment to the Electoral College of the responsibility to select the President includes the authority to decide whether a presidential candidate is qualified for office because the examination of a candidates qualifications is an integral component of the electors decision-making process."
We know, though, in practice, the electors are political hacks appointed as electors by their party in reward for their support. Theirs has become, in practice, a ceremonial role (and some of them might not even be alive, as was the case with one in California).
If you look at Kreef's argument in opposition to the defendant's motion to dismiss, Cheney's oversight becomes insignificant.
...the Electoral College is not empowered with the authority to determine the eligibility of any candidate. As discussed above, in twenty-six States and the District of Columbia, Presidential Electors are prohibited by statute from voting in variance with their pledges, or, if they do, they face civil or criminal penalties and fines. The act of determining eligibility is one that requires discretionary authority, so that a candidate found to be ineligible may be removed. However, any discretionary authority of the majority of the States Presidential Electors has been removed by statute, and the Presidential Electors, instead, perform a ministerial function of casting their votes in accordance with the popular vote of the State that each Elector represents. The assertion of Defendants that the Electoral College has the authority to make any determination of a Presidential candidates qualifications is unpersuasive because, while the historical intent of the of the Electoral College was to make such determinations, the modern majority trend of the States is to limit the duties of the Electors to the ministerial role of casting a vote for the candidate chosen by the popular vote of their respective States.
Further, other than a Concurring Opinion, Defendants offer no modern precedent for the claimed power of the Electoral College. Thus, the Electoral College lacks the authority to make a determination of a candidates eligibility, and the Court should deny these grounds for dismissal.
Considering how robotic the EC has become, it would be easier for states to pass laws requiring the SOS to verify Constitutional qualifications. It seems to me the founders were concerned with a very different country, back then, and didn't necessarily foresee the EC becoming a decision-making body, but rather an educated one capable of tabulating local votes across a scattered, rural populace with only rudimentary means of communication.
Kreep is arguing original intent vs. modern reality (pre-electiricity/railroads vs modern high-speed communications):
Defendants cite in their Motion to Dismiss, the concurring opinion in Williams v Rhodes as support for their contention that it is the exclusive role of the Electoral College to decide whether a presidential candidate is eligible for the office. Defendants Motion to Dismiss. However, the concurrence instead indicated the concerns that the founders had regarding the fact that the nation was too spread out for the average citizen to be able to make an informed decision about whom to vote for as president, "[t]he [Electoral] College was created to permit the most knowledgeable members of the community to choose the executive of a nation whose continental dimensions were thought to preclude an informed choice by the citizenry at large."By the time the modern EC meets, the votes have been tabulated, examined, analyzed and regurgitated, ad nauseum, by the media.
This concern is no longer relevant because, while the original intent for the Electoral College was to have a set number of "knowledgeable members of the community" make the decision of whom to elect as president, the modern function of the Electoral College is to simply cast a vote for the Presidential Candidate who received the majority of the vote from the State which each Elector represents. This change in the nature of the Electoral College has taken place because information about each candidate is now available for every voter in the country, which allows each and every voter to be "knowledgeable members of the community" capable of making informed decisions of whom to elect president.

[Ed. I'm admitted in the 3rd Circuit District Court and the State of NJ. I have been invited to join the DC Bar and Circuit because of my multi state bar exam score. I am preparing my application as we speak. But I do not have to take the DC Bar Exam. Thank God for that. Bar Exams are not fun.]
Referring to Leo's discovery suit in HI of ammendment of Obama's BC (though I, an immodest CPA and not a lawyer disagree with Leo that DOJ has agreed that Obama can be removed in quo warranto, but the opposite...I will post rebuttal later), September 21, 2009 at 8:16 pm:
[Ed. This isn't about removing the President. It's about shedding light on the situation. But you are wrong. Go read the position of the DOJ adopted in their motion to dismiss in the Barnett suit. As I reported months ago, the POTUS eligibility and removal can be handled by the DC DIstrict Court under the Quo warranto statute. The DOJ is on record in the Barnett case having argued that Orly's case is improperly venued and that a Quo Warranto must be brought in the DC District Court. The DOJ agrees that the POTUS can be removed via Quo Warranto and they are representing him.]
September 22, 2009 at 7:42 am:
[Ed. Hey RCL, welcome to the nbc blog. You should familiarize yourself with my legal brief on the federal Quo Warranto statute, a three part report. In that statute Congress authorized one single court to hear issues regarding the eligibility of all US National Officers and those Government officials specifically located in DC. The statute includes all US national govt officers, no exceptions.
The DOJ has already agreed that the POTUS eligibility can be reviewed and revoked in their recent court filings in one of Orly's cases where the DOJ represents President Obama.
You need to read the DOJ motion to dismiss in the Barnett case, specifically page 16:
The authorizing statute for the District ofColumbia sets forth a number of requirements, including a requirement that any quo warranto action be heard by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. See D.C. Code Sections 16-3501 through 16-3503. Indeed, Plaintiffs acknowledge this requirement in their pleading, but seek to have this Court ignore it because of their apparent dissatisfaction with the precedents in the District of Columbia. See FAC at 35-36.
I have maintained that any judicial review of the President's eligibility must come through the DC District Court and the Quo Warranto statute. The DOJ agrees and has put that in an actual court document defending the President. Eventually, the President's eligibility will be challenged in the DC District Court.]
Thank you for the update.
It is a shame there are not 100 more attorneys out there like Leo. All the Chrysler dealers and GM dealers should contact him plus top attorneys who can help.
Based on what I heard on the radio and read about Leo is that he did not like the legal system because of the corruption. I bet is was even worse in NJ. Leo has the guts and he is very sharp plus he is a poker champ.
The dealers need to get behind this. Leo is not out to make money and refuses any donations.
Yes, any additional amended complaint to the motion to dismiss won't help the Plaintiffs for the 5th October hearing.
If Donofrio can practice in the federal court, where he's filed his cases before, the why does he need a special license to practice in the D.C. District of the federal court?
JB Williams
Every member of the Supreme Court, every member of congress, every member of the Joint Chiefs, most members of the DOD, CIA, FBI, Secret Service and state run media, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, Fox and print news, knows that Barack Hussein Obama does NOT meet Article II Section I constitutional requirements for the office he holds. By his own biography, there is NO way he can pass the test. The hard evidence is so far beyond overwhelming, it is ridiculous.
But not ONE member of Americas most powerful people will dare confront Obama and his anti-American cabal on the subject. The Constitution does NOT stand.
Half of the people you expect to stop this insanity are quiet co-conspirators in the silent coup. The other half is paralyzed by fear, motivated only by political self-preservation.
Americans keep asking what they can do because they see that none of their leaders are doing anything to stop the demise of their beloved country. Its the right question, because those leaders are NOT going to stop this thing.
A brave few This is how it was in the beginning, how it has always been and how it will be.
DR. ORLY TAITZ, Phil Berg and Gary Kreep, ALL OF WHOM HAVE MADE DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION AND THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE A PERSONAL AMBITION, IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY CONSTITUTION LEADERSHIP.
A PRECIOUS FEW, BUT THEY EXIST and the walls are indeed closing in on Obama and his evil cabal. IF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FAIL TO GET BEHIND THESE BRAVE FEW WHO ARE SEEKING PEACEFUL REDRESS, ALL THE PEACEFUL OPTIONS WILL EVAPORATE AS IF THEY NEVER EXISTED. WE WILL RETURN TO A PRE-1776 AMERICA OVERNIGHT..
Do YOU fear Obama?
A precious few, indeed. Lets get behind those few brave patriots who are out there in the trenches every day working to prove Obamas inelgibility:
Dr. Orly has put her lifes blood into this fight. SHE HAS MADE DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION AND THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE A PERSONAL AMBITION, IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY CONSTITUTION LEADERSHIP FROM COWARDLY REPUBLICANS AND THE SCOTUS.
Dr. Orly is the ONLY one out there in the trenches EVERY day hitting Obama on multiple fronts and trying to bring him down. It is reported that she is more than $8,000 in debt from using her own funds for expenses in her flights across the U.S for interviews, speeches, serving papers and meeting with officials.
She has even gone to Isreal and Russia to spread the message about Obamas inelgibility!
She states the case expertly, including the bc and natural born citizen aspect, when not abused by the U.S. state-controlled media. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/132880
Sure, Dr. Orly makes mistakes. We all do. But Dr. Orly is no dummy. How many of us could go to a foreign country, learn 5 languages, establish a successful dental practice, a successful real estate business AND pass the California state bar- one of the hardest in the U.S. to pass?
She may be a mail order attorney and not a Harvard lawyer, but she IS an attorney with all the rights and privilages of a Harvard lawyer nevertheless!
The point is; she has the passion, the zeal, the courage of her convictions and the love of America and its freedoms (unlike many of our great attorneys and patriots who criticize her) that will not let her give up!
She is exhausted. She is nervous. She is frustrated. It is reported that she gets by on 4-5 hours of sleep per night, and her family is very worried about her health- as well as her safety.
She makes mistakes. But she will NOT give up. She will keep on until she gets it right.
So lets get behind this great little Russian refugee and great American patriot.
Stop tearing her apart. The Obots dont need our help.
The obots are scared to death of this little lady and her determination. Thats why they come out in droves all over the net on forums, chat rooms and even the national news to attack and ridicule.
You do realize that the COLB certification that Hawaii now issues routinely, as do most other states, is accepted by the DOS as proof of US citizenship and age? If states passed that law, they would have to accept the Certification of Live Birth, as opposed to a copy of the original birth certificate.
first the line with weight, height is still there.
second a line with birthplace is there, this line is not present on the "other certificate".
...and (b) there is nothing on the COLB to indicate that info was altered from the original long form.
That's where it gets sticky. For clarity, let's refer to the original birth certificate as "the long form," and the now routinely-issued certification as "the short form." As far as I know, no one has established that there would be any indication of an altered or amended original on the short form. The statutes, IIRC, refer to the new original being marked "amended," but I don't think there's any reference to the short form being marked that way, and I haven't seen any examples of a short form so marked.
Similarly, none of the birther lawyers have ever established that Hawaii statute §338-17.8 - Certificates for children born out of State" - would necessarily indicate that the child was born in Hawaii. The statute doesn't say.
OTOH, Hawaii statute §338-20.5 - Adoption; foreign born person - does say that "The true or probable country of birth shall be known as the place of birth, and the date of birth shall be determined by approximation. This report shall constitute an original certificate of birth".
I'm not sure how other states handle adoptee birth certificates, but I do know that in Georgia, the adopted parents can opt to use their home address as the place of birth on the new certificate, irregardless of where the child was born.
What I'm getting at is the fact that the short form may not tell the whole story, since, if there's more than one version of the long form, it would simply reflect the information on the most recent long form.
The significance of that would only come into play, of course, in the case of a candidate for President.
You don't get a license to practice "in federal court." You get a license to practice in a federal court.

The Jackson County EQIP program will offer eligible applicants the opportunity to enter into multi-year financial assistance agreements through the USDA-NRCS. The following resource concerns, shown with the assigned priority, will be addressed under the 2014 program.
The first batching period will end at close-of-business October 18, 2013. Applications received after the close of the batching period will be evaluated and considered for funding in subsequent county or state-wide designated batching periods, if any. The subsequent county batching period ending date(s) will be determined.
Unfunded 2014 applications remaining after available funds are obligated will be retained as active and will be eligible for subsequent program year funding.
All applications will be ranked using the State-wide, web-based environmental benefits worksheet arranged for Jackson County. County program applications will be accepted and ranked based on one application per resource concern per person/entity, i.e., all farms/tracts on which program assistance is requested by an entity for a particular resource concern will be evaluated, planned and funded as one application. Applications will be limited to one resource concern. Applications which represent the greatest environmental need, i.e., the highest score on the worksheet, will be funded first. Contracts will be developed for approved applications, based on the order of descending points, until all available funds are obligated. Applications scoring "0" points will be ineligible for program participation.
Practices listed on the NRCS State list are available for contracting. Boundary fencing will not be eligible for financial assistance, except for incidental areas associated with fencing for other approved purposes. Newly established permanent vegetation must be protected from grazing until stand is well established, usually one full growing season.

8/12/08 at PNC Park
This was the second game I'd ever attended at PNC Park. The first was seven years ago, and I don't remember much. I know I snagged seven balls that day, but I didn't have a blog or a digital camera back then so it's almost like it never happened.
Anyway, THIS day started with four crappy hours of sleep and continued with a seven-hour drive from New York City, a confusing check-in at the Holiday Inn Not-Express, and an interminable wait for a taxi to the stadium. By the time I made it there, half a dozen people were already waiting on line at the center field gate so my picture-taking was going to have to wait one more day.
PNC Park opens two hours early for season ticket holders and 90 minutes early for everyone else. Long story short: I was stressed out of my skull but ended up getting inside two hours early. This is what it looked like in the left field bleachers:
I used the glove trick to snag my first ball of the day in straight-away left field as Ian Snell was coming over to retrieve it. He was amused.
My second ball was a home run that I caught on a fly after ranging 30 feet to my left through a long, narrow row between the benches. If my friend Brian (aka "puckcollector" in the comments section) hadn't told me to bring sunglasses, there's no way I would've caught this ball. The sun was absolutely brutal. I had to look right at it whenever a ball was hit in the air, so I'm officially passing along Brian's advice to all of you: BRING SUNGLASSES if you're going to PNC Park. Trust me.
I went back to left field, changed into my Reds shirt and Reds cap, and snagged three more balls during the remaining half of BP (all of which were marked with a "C" on the sweet spot). The first was tossed by a player that I couldn't identify, the second was a deep home run that I caught on a fly in that open area behind the benches, and the third came via the glove trick near the foul pole. Not bad, not great. It could've been worse, but I also could've hit double digits by this point if I'd REALLY been on my game.
As for that open area behind the bleachers…here I am standing there:
It was a great spot except for one thing: it was well over 400 feet from home plate so there weren't too many guys who could reach me.
One problem with the bleachers at PNC is that the wall measures 383 feet from home plate in straight-away left field. That's kinda far. Another problem stems from the fact that fans in any stadium always cram into the first few rows; the bleachers here only HAVE a few rows–a mere half-dozen in one spot–so despite the low attendance at this game, that whole section still got uncomfortably crowded toward the end of BP:
Batting practice ended at 6pm–about 20 minutes earlier than usual–so I lost a few more snagging opportunities. It just wasn't a good day, and I was kicking myself for not going to see the Mets in D.C. instead.
Just before the game started, I snuck down to the Reds' dugout (which is on the first base side at PNC) and got my sixth ball of the day tossed by some guy I'd never heard of. Adam Rosales? I hadn't even noticed his name when I printed the team's roster the night before. Seriously, who is he? Who were half the players in the game? I thought I was watching minor league baseball.
I moved to the seats behind the third base dugout and ran down to the front row when Javier Valentin lined out to end the top of the first inning. Doug Mientkiewicz caught the ball and flipped it to me on his way in. Check out the bat imprint on it:
Can you tell what it says? There's a faint reverse imprint (as if you're looking at it in a mirror) of the first six letters in the word "Cincinnati." See it?
crabby usher, which was especially frustrating because the Reds must've tossed 20 balls to the people in the front row throughout the game. No joke. Not only did every third-out ball get tossed into the crowd, but 1st base coach Billy Hatcher gave away the infield warm-up ball every inning as well. And there were other balls that got tossed up…foul balls from the ball boy, random balls from the players and coaches. It was crazy. And yeah…I had to stay 10 to 15 rows back and watch helplessly as all of this was taking place.
As for the game itself…whatever. I mean, it WAS Major League Baseball (at least that's what I was told), but there really wasn't much to get excited about. Two lousy teams. No superstars. Unenthusiastic fans. Terrible cheese steak (with no cheese). What is there to say? I actually missed Shea and Yankee Stadium. (Did I really just say that?) Edinson Volquez pitched well and earned his 14th win. Mike Lincoln also pitched well and earned his ninth hold. Valentin and Brandon Phillips hit home runs. Rosales and Chris Dickerson picked up their first major league hits. Corey Patterson went 2-for-4 to raise his batting average to .194. Home plate umpire Jerry Meals called a great game.
I'm at a loss.
? 7 balls at this game
? 308 balls in 43 games this season = 7.2 balls per game.
? 539 consecutive games with at least one ball
? 130 consecutive games outside of New York with at least one ball
? 3,585 total balls

Rosales got called up because Joey Votto is on the bereavement list. I'm sorry you had to see the Reds in their current state. They definately resemble a minor league team at the moment:( This weekend in Cincinnati is going to be brutal for me! It will be my first time seeing the Reds in person since before Griffey and Dunn were traded. Pray for me! lol!
Been reading for a while, first time commenting. Rosales was called up to replace Votto while he's on the bereavement list. I saw you on TV after the game, they panned onto you for about 30 seconds as you were yelling at someone on the field, you were in the right field corner. George Grande said you were a die-hard Reds fan and made the trek from Cincinnati to see your team play.
Wow. 2 last place teams in the worst division, the west, are more exciting than this. Since Griffey and Dunn are gone, the reds arent that great. except for edinson volquez.
I had a similar experience at PNC last summer. Very sunny, not very easy to snag. I did get to see Lowe take a perfect game into the 6th though. Forgot who won. It is a nice park though with a beautiful view of the Pittsburgh skyline and that cool yellow bridge. Any chance you'll make it back to DC or Camden this year? I should be there a few more times before I have to go back to school.
Hey Zack, sorry to hear about your rotten luck. I got the chance to catch a couple of games at pnc last year just before the 4th of july. i think its the most beautiful park in baseball. if you have the chance definately hang out on the roberto clemente bridge and go see the view from the upper deck.
Hi Zack…
It could have been worse. You could have been at the Padres game. We're even worse than the Reds and the Pirates. Apparently we're stingy too. Hopefully, tonight will be better for you. I feel double digits for you tonight.
Hey Zack – sounds like you had a good day at Shea on Sunday. After you left and I told you that there wasn't any balls down in the right field gap (I already looked, I guess I did a sloppy job of looking), I did a second scan just as I was getting ready to leave. What did I see? Yes, I had an extra long string for the glove trick just in case there was anything out there. A ball was lodged up agiainst a water bottle and a pepsi cup. Since that was so high up, and you don't have much room to work with, I first tried to do the glove trick directly, but the bottle and cup messed me up. I tried for 10 minutes trying to swing my glove to move the trash first, but being so far down, and not being able to get any momentum, I had to give up. It did give the fans up there a good laugh and all seemed amused by this. That would have been by far my most difficult ball ever if successful. One thing I can say about Yankee, as crowded as it gets, most people don't bring cup or glove tricks, so if anything comes up to the wall, it's usually a pretty easy pick up. It was great meeting you, I'm sure we'll run into each other at Shea or Yankee again soon. Erik
Hey Zack, well you know, even Michael Jordan had bad days, so don't lose any sleep over it. You always have the friendly confines of Shea & Yankee to look forward to when you get home. See, things are looking up already!(For the others reading this, I am joking by the way.)
oh, and that ball that had the imprint, was that the ball where Mientfgghjgjkfk made the AMAZING catch that made sportscenter top 10??
haaaa. i was watching a tivo'd episode of mets weekly and happend to recognize a familiar face!!…did you know you were on the opening after the OH SO ANNOYING GUISEPE FRANCO?…anyway, it was the game you brought your big glove to shea
i dont know why it says this is my user name…but its JOSHS AUTOGRAPHED CARD COLLECTION
i guess THREE comments in a row is a little much (sorry)…but "joshscards" is my new username i guess
1) This is where ball snagging gets in the way for me. You were at arguably the most beautiful ballpark in the majors on what appeared to be a gorgeous night. I also know that they play great music on clear sounding speakers during BP. However, the snagging opportunities (or lack thereof) took your mind off the sheer beuaty and peacefulness of that oasis in downtown Pittsburgh and had you wishing you at Shea??? C'mon!!!!
2) Puck C says RF isn't that bad when we were there.
3) Minnesota Metrodome: We will be there for two games next week v. Oakland. Does anyone have reliable information on when the gates open.
4) Islanders hired a new coach. Less than 8 weeks until the first puck drops! Less than 12 weeks before the Islanders are officially elimonated from the playoffs.
PadreLeigh–Nice catch! You stole that one right away from the guy on the direct line.
Even though the Mets and Yankees are not doing that great,, we are spoiled over here when other cities pretty much have minor (major) league teams,, not only are the players non stars but the owners dont care about winning,
Anyway, i am going to the Baseball hall of fame in cooperstown for my 12th time, it should be great and i will have a lot to write about
Leigh, nice job on the catch. Channel 4's shot of you was great. Too bad PETCO's not more homer friendly for you.
I'm not worrying about snagging this week vs. Chicago. Not worth putting up with all those visiting fans.
I survived Game 2 at PNC Park. Tough place. I'll probably be posting an entry about it on Friday…
Hey Zack, on August 3rd my family and I went to Tropicana Field for our first time and BP was almost COMPLETELY empty cuz even though the line was huge to get in, almost everyone hangs out in the concourse cuz it's like a miniature fan-fest over there. i went to the Tigers bullpen (which is on the field near foul line) and politely asked Coach Chuck Hernandez for Zach Miner's warm-up ball after his session was over. Sure enough he kept his promise and tossed it to me and NO ONE was in my section except for my brother. Later on during BP, a ball landed on the right field warning track and no players were near it. I noticed there was an usher kicking out people who didnt have front row seats behind outfield wall to sit there (even during batting practice!)*Zack i suggest u buy those tickets if u ever visit there* But ur allowed to sit anywhere from 2nd row and beyond. so my brother politely asked the usher if we can go to the front row only to pick up the ball with a contraption device (aka the Glove Trick). she told us we could try it if it works. my brother picked it up with ease and that was OUR 2nd of the day. after that we decided to enjoy the stadium. oh and we got Andy Sonnanstine autograph and almost Scott Kazmir (which i probably wouldve gotten already had he stayed with the Mets)..well srry for the long comment but i had to share my story, ttyl
So, I've been in Cleveland and Detroit all this week. Going back to Jacobs Field tomorrow. I snagged my second foul ball in three nights a couple hours ago. I'll try to post a full report and set up a photo gallery when I get home in a couple days if anyone's interested.
I was watching sportcenter the other night and they said that cameron was really doing well making a sliding catch and hitting a homerun. when i saw it, i was thinking "i bet leigh caught that one" and then you posted the comment!!!!!! Congratulations!
i fogot to mention this, but i went to the pirates v. mets game the other day. 2 crappy things happened. the first was in BP. i asked pedro feliciano for a ball sitting on the track in the right field loge. his throw was off line and right to this other guy who immediatly gave it to a kid about 5 years old right next to me. what did the kid do???? he threw it back onto the field and it was a perfect commemorative that looked game used. it sucked.
Then, i started chasing foul balls in the loge. i started to talk to this guy who was sitting on the aisle seat right next to the tunnel i was standing in. i told him how it was good for foul balls and he said he always wanted to catch one. my mom called me and told me to come to the seats for a second. i ran up to the seats to talk to her and saw a foul ball ball smack the facade and guess who caught it. the guy standing right next to me, who i was talking to. the very next pitch, a ball goes right back into the tunnel and i see the guy jump over the railing and chase it down into the concourse. i would have easily caught both on a fly. but he ended up getting both of them. just thought i would share that.
Greg sounds good I'd like to check it out.
Zack sorry PNC was tough this week but it is a very nice park to be in, Though I seemed to have better luck in Pittsburgh I stood in the very corner in LF and got 9 by just standing there the wall is low so not too hard plus I had two guys lower me down to grab one which alarmed security but was worth it, sorry man where ya gonna be next.
Looking forward to your story about last night's game. I agree with Fatherpuck about snagging sometimes getting in the way of really appreciating where you are (and about the Islanders being out of the playoffs…I am a big Devils fan!). I think PNC is the nicest park. Last year, my son and I each got 2 balls early on and then just decided to walk around and take in the beauty of the place.
Almost nothing better than relaxing on a nice summer evening in a place like PNC.
Greg, hope all is well in Cleveland! Looking forward to the pix.
zack-tough luck man. still, i really wanna go there.
greg-id be interested in some pix..
leigh-i was watching sports center the next morning with my brother, and when i saw cameron hit it to where id seen replays of you sitting before, i knew youd have a shot. i saw a guy that looked like you (from zacks and your posted pix at least) reach over and catch it, and i told my bro i thought it was you. crazy stuff.
my next game will be either next tues. weds. or thurs. at cbp. midweek series vs. washington-sweet.
im thinnking that the met opens 1.5 hours early on weekdays and 2 hours early on weekends
the gates at shea open 2.5 hours early for all games redsox342445.
Fatherpuck/puckcollector –
your comment about the Islanders is funny. I am a huge Coyotes fan and that is usually how it goes with us, hopefully not this year. We have to get you guys back for last year's loss. I can't wait for the season to start.
Padreleigh –
That was a great catch.
hey zack its me did u get my email?
and by me i mean andre
Padreleigh -way to go ,Iwas directly 20 feet above you on Cameron HR,you need to get a new glove,it slipped out ,oil it with leather softener, CH 4 guys said Chase Headley didnt glove it but the guy in seats did glove it.
Sorry for the delay in answering these comments…and sorry for being brief, but I also have about 100 emails that I have to get through (as well as lots of other non-baseball things to take care of, if you can believe it). For everyone who's been sending me links to their blogs…I really appreciate that you want to share them with me, but I truly don't have time to look at them right now.
Thanks for the info on Rosales.
Right field corner? I was behind the dugout on the first base side. Is that what you meant? Or could it have been someone else? Anyway, thanks for leaving your first comment. It's nice to hear from you.
Would've been great to see Griffey. I'd actually semi-planned this trip while he was still with the Reds. Nice spelling of Mientkiewicz. Did he make a great play on that ball? I forget. Sorry about your foul ball woes. That sucks bigtime.
Camden Yards…August 27th and September 11th. I already have tickets so even if it rains, I'll (almost definitely) be there.
Thanks for the advice about checking out the upper deck. I probably would've done it anyway, but it was nice to get the suggestion from someone who'd been up there.
Yeah, thank God I didn't have to see the Padres. :-p
Aww, man, I'm sorry you didn't get that ball, and I'm sorry I didn't see it. I wonder if I would've been able to get it, but from what you described, it sounds like it would've been hard for anyone. Maybe it would've been easier with a cup trick.
Wow…being compared to Michael Jordan…that's a first.
The Mets got footage of me with the big glove?! Really?! I had no idea. Cool.
Believe me, I was fully aware of the beauty of the ballpark throughout BP, even when the snagging wasn't all that great. I think my second PNC entry captured that. (I just posted it a few hours ago.) Not sure about the gates in Minnesota. Sorry…but I hope you have a great time! And as I told Puck Collector, let me know how it goes.
Twelve visits to the Hall?! Dear Lord, I've only been there once.
Nice work at the Trop…and thanks for the heads-up about that awful front-row rule. That's good to know. I probably *will* make it back down there before that stadium closes.
Hurry up and share the details, son!
Well, it wasn't THAT bad, so don't be too sorry for me. Looks like my next game will be in Philly on August 19th.
I'd have a tough time arguing with anyone who says that PNC is the nicest stadium.
I got your email, but I haven't had a chance to write back yet. I'll definitely get to it this weekend. Maybe even tonight…
i was talking about the metrodome when i said the met.
Yeah, that was it then. It wasn't a good angle and all I could tell was that it was the first base side.

Getting Ready To Play Spoiler
I am so fired up about this team right now. The Union Tribune had an excellent article today, and it made me sooo excited about my boys. We're not going anywhere this season, but we're winning, and we've got a job to do.
Last night, we won again. We had amazing defense and pitching again. We got just enough runs to win again. Heath Bell saved the game again. Things are going great!!
Clayton Richard pitched one great game last night. He went 6.2 innings, allowing one run on four hits with six strikeouts and two walks. He didn't allow that run until the seventh, when Josh Bard hit a homer against him.
I love Bardo. He was the first Padres autograph I got, and he's a catcher. I adore catchers, and he was a great one. Well, not really. But I still love him. So I really don't mind that he hit that homer off us last night. It was only his fourth of the year for goodness sakes!! Miss you, Bardo!!
In the bottom of the second, Kouz doubled and Will Venable singled to get our first run on the board. Yay Kouz!!
In the fifth, Kouz hit a sac-fly to drive in Everth with our second run. Yay Kouz!!
In the seventh, Oscar Salazar hit a pitch-hit solo homer. He has hit three pinch-hit homers this season. Our pinch hitters have been doing extremely well in the last few games.
In the bottom of the eighth, Drew Macias drove in our last insurance run.
Heath Bell went 1-2-3 to close the game and get his 33rd save of the season.
And so, we have now won three series in a row. They will finish up the series with a 2-for-1 day today.
Now, about our mission. We're 21.5 games behind in the NL West right now, but we're going to help determine who comes out on top. We're going to play spoiler.
After an off-day tomorrow, we'll be playing the Dodgers in LA, the Giants in San Fran, and the Rockies and Diamondbacks at homer. After going to Pittsburgh, we'll be playing the Rockies at Coors, Arizona, and then back home to play the Dodgers and Giants. How 'bout that? We are playing our division rivals a ton this month.
Since we've started on this winning trend, we have hurt the playoff chances of Atlanta, Florida, Chicago, and Milwaukee. These guys are fired up, and they don't want to just finish out this season. They want to use the opportunity they've been given to determine who's going to win this West.
"We've talked, everyone is on the same page," said second baseman David Eckstein. "We want to make some lives miserable. We're looking forward to those games against the West."
I love that. "We want to make some lives miserable." They've got a huge chance to do some damage here. I think the Padres are going to be the deciding factor in who wins this division. I really do.
"We're not just playing it out," said Heath Bell. "We get to fight. It feels good when we beat contending teams. Last year at this time, I felt like we cashed it in – let's not lose 100 games. This year, it's been 'let's win.' "
I think it's going to be a great month. Unlike last year, when we were trying to stay away from 100 losses, we're looking to win this year. It's a different mentality, and different atmosphere in this clubhouse. I'm excited.
So, game three today against the Nationals. K-Cor is pitching. He'd better do well.
(thanks to the Union Tribune for quotes)

Great post Kaybee. The Padres have really been playing well lately and they could definitely pull off being a spoiler.
Oh yeah, SWEEP!! Look at our boys. They are doing an amazing job. I completely agree with Eck. What a great quote from him! Let's hope for a big "W" against the Dodgers on Friday.
I'm glad to hear that Josh Bard is doing well. And congrats on another win for your guys!
Booyah! Sweep-age! I love those quotes! And those pics! I can't wait for them to go out and dash some dreams.
And I love catchers too! It seems like almost every team has at least one cute catcher. The Ems are lucky and have two though!

The donated items will be used in conjunction with the Abel Center's "Earn While You Learn" program.
The Abel Center in Bluefield, WV is a life-affirming Christian ministry that focuses upon assisting individuals confronted by an unplanned pregnancy, burdened by a past abortion, or tempted by abortion or sex outside of marriage. Nelson, a BSC nursing program alumna, noted, "New mothers who continued their pregnancies and enrolled in the Abel Center's "Earn While You Learn" pregnancy and parenting training/education program will use their earned "mommy dollars" through that program to purchase these baby items for their child, that were donated by the Bluefield State College nursing students that they otherwise may not have been able to afford."
"During the semester, maternity nursing students learned what resources were available in the community for childbearing women and their families," Dr. Bernadette Dragich, BSC Nursing faculty member, explained. "Students were interested in Abel Center because of the variety of free and confidential services the center offered, especially the 'Earn While You Learn' program. The most impressive element related to this program was that the client could learn life skills and acquire needed material resources for the family's new baby."

1) What is the proposal for the future of the courthouse in Karnes County?
The Karnes County Commissioners Court has voted to have a bond election to be held November 8, 2011: Proposition 1 — $4 million for courthouse restoration and Proposition 2 — $3 million for county roads. The bond election will solidify two important issues we have supported:
1. It will allow the citizens of Karnes County to vote on capital improvement projects and to determine whether or not to incur additional debt. This is a major change from the policy of the previous Commissioners Court.
2. It gives the decision making authority to the citizens of Karnes County to vote on whether or not they (the citizens and taxpayers) want the current courthouse restored under the Texas Historical Commission rules and requirements.
Other options have not been discussed in a public forum nor have the taxpayers of Karnes County been given an opportunity to make a choice.
Option A. Repair and renovate the existing courthouse for use.
Option B. Build a new courthouse or a new replica courthouse. New construction is far more cost effective (cheaper) than restoration.
This will give the taxpayers an opportunity to consider all options. It will allow future oil and gas tax revenues to accumulate so we would have the funds to pay for the courthouse of the taxpayers' choice. Without the THC, Karnes County taxpayers could seek to regain control of our courthouse. Local contractors and tradesmen would be able to participate in the renovation and future maintenance and it allows the taxpayers to plan and make fiscally responsible decisions as the taxpayers of Karnes County.
2) How much will it cost and what is the source of the estimate?
If the Karnes County taxpayers vote "yes" the courthouse will be "restored" with the Texas Historical Commission (THC) dictating "who" will do the work; "what" work will be done; and "how much" will be spent. If the taxpayers of Karnes County vote "yes" to Proposition 1, they will be obligating themselves to a minimum of $8.3 million, (Proposition 1 = $4 million plus $5.3 million = $9.3 million) at the minimum, plus all cost overruns. The $8.3 million is the architect's estimate, not an estimate or bid provided by a THC "approved' restoration contractor.
The Karnes County Historical Society has promoted the restoration project as though the THC has guaranteed we will receive a grant of $5.3 million from the Texas Historical Commission (THC). The THC, when asked on numerous occasions, has refused to make a commitment to Karnes County for the $5.3 million grant.
1. The Texas Historical Commission (THC) has made the removal of the wings and the loss of over 4,000 square feet a major issue.
2. We, the citizens, are unable to get a credible or responsible estimate from a restoration contractor for total restoration or renovation of the Karnes County Courthouse. Remember, the only cost estimate available is from the architect, Fisher and Heck, and that estimate is based on plans which the architect admitted in Commissioners Court are only 90% complete. It is clearly stated on the plans that the concrete floor must be removed and before it can be determined what steps are necessary to stabilize the foundation, therefore no estimate for the foundation or a French drain are included in the $8.3 million restoration estimate by the architects.
3. Only approved contractors and architects (from outside of Karnes County) will benefit from this restoration. A perfect example of this is the Karnes County Courthouse Annex Building. The architect is from San Antonio (he was paid over $500,000) and the contractor is from Victoria, and has billed the county almost $5 million.
4. At this time, there is no factual cost basis for the restoration of the courthouse.
There is an estimate from Fisher and Heck Architects in the amount of $8.3 million. Keep in mind that the Fisher and Heck firm is not an approved restoration contractor. The current Commissioners Court is attempting to obtain a bid/estimate from approved historical restoration contractors.
The THC and the Karnes County Historical Society continue to use the estimate from Fisher and Heck Architects which was given in 2007. It is logical to assume that the price has increased substantially in four years considering the state of the economy.
There is no consideration being given by the THC or the Karnes County Historical Society regarding cost overruns. Cost overruns will be paid for, in their entirety, by the taxpayers of Karnes County. A number of neighboring counties have been contacted about their THC restorations. In every case, they have experienced cost overruns ranging from approximately 10% to 40%. The THC is not concerned with cost overruns. Once the project starts, the costs of all change orders or overruns will be paid, in their entirety, by the taxpayers of Karnes County.
3) What happens to the old courthouse in this plan?
The costs of maintenance of a restored courthouse will increase significantly over what has been spent in the past. Again, on a restored courthouse, THC would determine everything from whether or not a picture could be hung to who would be allowed to hang and how much we had to pay their "approved" contractor.
The previous Commissioners Court signed over an easement to the THC. This effectively transferred control of our courthouse, the jail and the property on which they sit to the THC. Since they, the THC, will own the Karnes County Courthouse, the THC must approve any repairs or maintenance, and that all repairs and maintenance can only be done by contractors approved by the THC.
The previous Commissioners Court gave control of our courthouse to the THC. Once restoration starts, we, Karnes County, will be giving THC a "signed blank check". Whatever the costs will be, and they are unknown, we the taxpayers will pay the bill. The bottom line is we must have a reliable professional bid from an approved restoration contractor before we will know what the total costs of complete restoration will be.
We are not aware of how many people will occupy the courthouse after restoration. We think it would be reasonable to assume that 5-8 people will occupy the restored courthouse. Regardless of who or how many occupy the courthouse after restoration, it will lose most of its functionality. It is not hard to imagine a cost of $800-$1,000 or more per square foot to restore the courthouse. That's a lot of money to pay for what will essentially become a museum. We have higher priorities that affect all of the citizens of Karnes County. Specifically, we need a new jail, more deputies, and improvement of the county roads. The county roads have not been properly maintained for years and almost half of the population of Karnes County lives in the country. These are real priorities right now.
4) What makes your plan the best path for Karnes County citizens?
We are of the opinion that Karnes County should be fiscally conservative and responsible to the taxpayer. We should spend money we know we have and not obligate us to spend money we don't have but might receive. We do not need to follow the path of the Texas Legislature or the Congress and Senate of the United States. We as citizens are expected to live within our means. It's not unreasonable to expect the same from our government, at the county, state or national level. Regarding the bond election, there are several issues that we believe should be considered by the voters and taxpayers of Karnes County:
1. By voting against Proposition 1, the taxpayers of Karnes County will take a giant step toward regaining control of the courthouse, the jail, and the property they occupy. The taxpayers will effectively determine what improvements will be made. If the Commissioners Court implements Phase 1, taking off the wings (1924 addition) of the courthouse, the THC will then control our courthouse, jail and property forever. Only THC "approved" contractors and vendors would be allowed to participate in the restoration, maintenance and repairs of the restored facility.
2. There are more "urgent" priorities for Karnes County.
•Build a jail.
•Provide more law enforcement personnel and equipment.
•Improve and upgrade the county roads.
5) What do you see as problematic in the other sides' proposal?
By entering into a contract with the THC to restore the courthouse, the following in fact will happen:
1. Karnes County will transfer total control of the courthouse, the jail, and the property to the Texas Historical Commission.
2. We take the "grant" from THC, the maximum grant would be approximately $5.3 million, and at the completion, whatever it costs, Karnes County will have a much smaller courthouse, with permanent "strings" attached.
3. The cost of restoration of the courthouse is unknown. We have no bids or estimates from an approved restoration contractor.
4. Karnes County has no commitment from THC that we will receive a future grant, in any amount.
5. Karnes County will in effect give to the THC a "blank, signed check" for the restoration of the courthouse since we are solely responsible for payment.
6. Karnes County will lose over 4,000 square feet of existing courthouse space.
6. Do you think there are some misconceptions about your plan out there and what are they?
The Karnes County Historical Society, the THC and the editor of the Countywide have repeatedly alleged that the Karnes County Taxpayer Association has no plan and we want to tear down the courthouse. Both allegations are incorrect.
By removing the wings of the courthouse, we lose over 4,000 square feet of needed office space. We support plans to repair, maintain and make the courthouse useable, with the 4,000 square feet wings attached. Another option is to build a new courthouse. We are in favor of regaining control of our courthouse, the old jail and the grounds they are built upon.
We are for fiscal responsibility and spending money we know we have and not what we might have.
7) How would your plan be financed and completed?
The Karnes County Taxpayers Association, as previously stated, has many priorities before we restore the courthouse. We support the renovation of the courthouse after necessities that are more urgent are addressed. We believe that future tax revenues, from the oil and gas boom we are experiencing, can pay for the renovation/ restoration of the current courthouse or build a new courthouse. We are of the opinion that there is no "free" money. The THC, the state of Texas and the U.S. government do not grant "free" money to anyone. There will always be strings attached, but we need to read the fine print. We are experiencing irresponsible fiscal decisions made by the previous Commissioners Court. We want to be financially solvent, and fiscally responsible as taxpayers of Karnes County.
Payment for repair of the courthouse or building a new courthouse could be accomplished with oil and gas tax revenues or with bonds voted on at a future date. This would allow citizens to make an informed and educated vote.
The Karnes County Taxpayers Association strongly encourages every voter to go to the polls and make an educated, responsible vote — not an emotional vote — on the bond issues.

November 26, 2013 —
LAKE HUNTINGTON, NY — Fall is about to give way to winter, but the awesome athletic endeavors of autumn evinced by soccer, volleyball and football players as well as the stalwart endeavors of cross-country harriers were on the agenda for the Sullivan West Fall Sports Awards on November 20.
After a welcome from assistant principal Scott Haberli, athletic director Dave Franskevicz lauded the fact that Kelsey Dutton and Courtney Meyerer qualified for the state cross-country meet. Dutton was 57th among the top Class C runners in the state. Meyerer was selected as an alternate after she finished sixth in Section Nine. The girls soccer team was named the New York State Public High School Athletic Association's (NYSPHSAA) Scholar Athlete team for the fourth straight year, while the football team received Scholar Athlete honors for the third straight year. Coaches extolled their teams and distributed trophies to the two most-deserving members of their squads. Season highlights were recalled, as each coach recapped the autumn's most memorable milestones. This writer followed up the award presentations with a musical slide show as the evening's finale that chronicled each sport and included quotes affirming the values imparted from participating in sports and the life lessons learned therein. To glean more about what the coaches said and the particulars of the accomplishments of the award winners, read the story titled, "Adieu to Autumn Bulldog Style," on www.sportsinsightsny.com [1]. Here is a list of this autumn's award recipients: Girls soccer: Sydney Sipple, Comeback Player of the Year; Carly Grishaber, MVP. Volleyball: Kelsey Brockner, Most Improved Player; Alexa Santoro, Rookie of the Year. Boys Soccer: Owen Andrews, Coaches Award; Gavin Owen, MVP. Football: Tyler Davis, Most Improved Player; Andrew Stabbert, MVP. Girls Cross-Country: Courtney Meyerer, Coaches Award; Kelsey Dutton, Dedication to Excellence Award. Boys Cross-Country: Dale Mercado, Most Improved Runner; Ethan Seidl, Coaches Award. Photos of all of the award winners can be seen at www.sportsinsights.smugmug.com [2].

A Night To Remember1 of 12
By Amy Elisa Keith
Prom. It's the biggest night of your teen's life, and you'll play a big role in making sure things go off without a hitch. How so, you ask? Remember how your parents humiliated you before your own prom? Avoid those awkward photos and sudden tearful outbursts with your kids. Instead, throw a snafu-proof pre-party and send the kids off in style.
Red Carpet Welcome2 of 12
Roll out the red carpet on your walkway so that as dates arrive, they'll get into the Hollywood glam spirit. (Plus, it makes for a great photo opp!)
His And Hers3 of 12
One guy can't figure out how to put on his boutonnière. Another girl is having a VPL moment. (That's "visible panty lines" in teen-speak.) Be ready for anything by creating primping rooms—one for the ladies and one for the gents.
Almost Paradise4 of 12
In the living room, pop in a DVD of the best prom movie of all time: Footloose. As parents wait for the styling to end and the pictures to begin, they can reminisce about their bygone high school days.
Perfectly Polished5 of 12
If you can, encourage all the girls to get ready at your house. To eliminate the frantic rush of errands and last-minute beauty primping, hire a manicurist to do quick mani-pedis for the young divas.
Picture Perfect6 of 12
Inevitably, mascara will smudge and lip gloss will fade even before the big night has begun. Designate one mom to play a makeup artist for quicks touchups during the photo session.
ON POWERWALL: Michelle Obama's Latest Looks
Raise A Glass7 of 12
Celebrate the night with a specialty cocktail—non-alcoholic of course. Every teen wants to feel grown on prom night, so don't rain on her parade with lame-o Shirley Temples. Try toasting with Faux Kir Royale (raspberry syrup and sparkling apple cider) in a champagne flute garnished with fresh raspberries.
It's A Snap8 of 12
Parents snapping Polaroids is so 1992. Personalized disposable cameras is so 2000. Why not kick things up a notch by hiring a photo booth company like Snap Yourself to help capture the pre-party shots? (For a DIY option, download fun photo booth apps on your smartphone.)
Let's Rock9 of 12
Set the mood with some fun, upbeat tunes. Don't try to be too hip with a collection of pop anthems, though. Instead, go for '80s nostalgia by bumping some A-ha, Michael Jackson and The Rolling Stones. Score extra points for playing the soundtracks to films such as Breakfast Club and School Daze.
Sweet Temptations10 of 12
Chances are kids will be too excited to nosh before the big night. But the promise of post-prom treats may just lure them back in time for curfew.
Fresh Idea11 of 12
For a simple and easy addition to your pre-party, place bowls of peppermints around the house. Guys and girls can stash them away for later.
Prom-Aid12 of 12
As a much-needed parting gift to your teen, put together mini tool kits with a few emergency items: bandages, a safety pin, the number to a cab company and Aspirin. If a dress strap breaks or a dance-induced blister forms, your kids will thank you.

The Music Room (Jalsaghar) (1958)
Date: Friday, August 16, 2013
Time: 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Type: Film
With The Music Room (Jalsaghar), director Satyajit Ray brilliantly evokes the crumbling opulence of the world of a fallen aristocrat (the beloved actor Chhabi Biswas) desperately clinging to a fading way of life. His greatest joy is the music room in which he has hosted lavish concerts over the years—now a shadow of its former vivid self. An incandescent depiction of the clash between tradition and modernity, and a showcase for some of India's most popular musicians of the day, The Music Room is a defining work by the great Bengali filmmaker.

The Virginia Creeper Trail is a 35 mile multiple-use trail rail trail in southwestern Virginia. The trail runs from Abingdon through Damascus to Whitetop, Va, near the North Carolina state line -through National Forest and crosses numerous trestles.
In Damascus, "the Friendliest Town on the Traill", the Creeper crosses over the many national and regional trails that pass through this little town. The Virginia Creeper Trail, Appalachian Trail, 76 TransAm Bicycle Route, Crooked Road, Round the Mountain, Iron Mountain Trail, and the Daniel Boone Heritage Trail all cross at the same intersection.
The Trail that began as a Native American footpath and later, the European pioneers, as well as early explorer Daniel Boone, used the trail that traversed through the beautiful area. Shortly after 1900, W.B. Mingea constructed the Virginia-Carolina Railroad from Abingdon to Damascus. In 1905, the line was extended to Konnarock and Elkland, NC. In its day, the line hauled lumber, iron ore, supplies, and passengers. It got its nickname, Virginia Creeper, from the early steam locomotives that struggled slowly up the railroad's steep grades.
Bicycle rental and shuttle services are available for a fun filled family adventure.

- Asymmetrical two-dimensional magnetic lattices for ultracold atoms
- Author(s)
- Abdelrahman, A.; Vasiliev, M.; Alameh, K.; Hannaford, P.
- Abstract
- A simple method for implementing an asymmetrical two-dimensional magnetic lattice is proposed. The asymmetrical two-dimensional magnetic lattice is created by periodically distributing nonzero magnetic minima across the surface of a magnetic thin film, where the magnetic patterns are formed by milling nxn square holes on the surface of the film. The method is proposed for trapping and confining quantum degenerate gases, such as Bose-Einstein condensates and ultracold Fermi gases, prepared in low-magnetic-field-seeking states. Analytical expressions and numerical simulation results of the magnetic local minima are shown where we analyze the effect of changing the magnetic lattice parameters, such as the separation of the holes, the hole size, and external bias magnetic fields, to maintain and locate the nonzero local minima at a suitable distance above the film surface to avoid the effect of Majorana spin flips and the Casimir-Polder potential.

Love Is Symmetry is the third album from London quintet Scanners and their best yet, opening with the dark percussion of the title track, a song that lures you in with its whispered vocal before exploding wide open into a huge Vangelis- like chorus. Tracks such as Mexico and Charmed Life have an Arcade Fire quality, rising and falling with the energy of Sarah Daly's vocals and violin. This violin also adds richness to the epic State Of Wonder, a song about the river Lea that flows past their window in East London.
The Scanners trademark synth is also a strong presence on many of the tracks. On songs, like the impossibly named Today Is The Tomorrow That They Promised Yesterday and the squarely danceable Control, the synth takes the lead. The weird broken rhythm of When They Put Me Back Together They Forgot To Turn Me On, and the strangely joyful Cure-like My Streets Are Always In The Shade see them broaden their range, providing two album highlights.
Recorded and produced by the band, with mixes by Victor Van Vugt (PJ Harvey, Athlete), the sound is still Scanners. Yet they have moved on. Love Is Symmetry seems more urgent, the rhythms more complex, but still the love of strong melody is there on every track.
Scanners have released two albums via Dim Mak Records (Bloc Party, Atari Teenage Riot, Steve Aoki) and their songs have soundtracked many a dramatic twist on TV shows such as Shameless, Gossip Girl, Entourage and One Tree Hill. They have also shared stages with Laura Marling, Devo, Air, The Horrors, Asobi Seksu, Florence And The Machine and These New Puritans amongst many others.
The first single off the album- Control is out on the 3rd of June.

Brand new Tigertrap signings Pseudo Nippon are premiering the video for their new single 'Universal Brotherhood (Cops Say Ow)' on the DAZED WEBSITE from today.
The video sees the experimental, double-drum powered trio cycling through London in an ever-increasing convoy, which led to the eventual arrest of four of the party. The single is due for release digitally on 15th October with the Negative Pegasus remix as a b-side.
The single precedes their new album 'Colorama' (due 5th November), for which they have melded their chromatic experimental pop into a gleaming whole. It was named after the empty, then squatted, photographic factory where it was recorded.
Running for two-and-a-half years, the space became the home and hub of a community of anarchists, activists, artists and gardeners, all of whom commonly enjoyed the taste of beef eggs (a PN speciality). Left without a home, they continue their quest to play intense and cosmic live shows, as well as finding shelter for the night.
They celebrate the launch of their record with a special party show at The Dalston Victoria on Saturday 13th October.
Infants today finally release their remarkable debut album, 'Giant Leg', on CD and via all the usual digital platforms.
The proverbial 'Loveless' of Tigertrap releases has hit shop shelves in CD digipak and has seen songs feature on radio shows such as Huw Stephens (Radio 1), John Kennedy and Mary Anne Hobbs (Xfm), the latter calling 'Information' "the most ecclectic record we've every played - the sonic equivalent of From Dusk Til Dawn".
Purchase online from theTigertrap store and get the MP3s immediately. The album's track listing is as follows:
1. Foam Party
2. Firetruk
3. Information
4. Buddy Island
5. Love Mania Bento
6. Now
7. Dark Hoist
8. Hey Good Guy
9. Masticator
10. No Soul
11. Atoms
The digital version has a bonus track called 'Universal'. Stream the album in full on our Infants bandpage.
Here are some nice things the press folks have said:
