Skip to comments.Why the Barack Obama Birth Certificate Issue Is Legitimate (Nov. 08)
Posted on 01/07/2010 9:17:33 PM PST by STARWISE
Does this Barack Obama birth certificate issue bug you because, although improbable, it's possible that he's not a natural born citizen, isn't eligible to be President under the Constitution, and this issue could be bigger than Watergate -- or any other "gate" in history?
Are you afraid that if you were even to raise the subject with your friends that they will think you wear a tinfoil hat, because Factcheck.org, the final arbiter of truth in the universe, said so?
Are you with the news media, and after spending so much money to get Barack Obama elected, you'd hate to ruin your investment?
Are you a talk radio host who thinks that if you say the burden of proof needed to demonstrate one is eligible to be Commander in Chief should be at least as high as, oh, say, the level to be eligible for Hawaiian homestead status (see 1.F. below), that you'd be forced to give equal time to someone who disagrees?
Are you a conservative, libertarian, or any conscientious constitutionalist from any ideological side of life, who's convinced something's not right, but you're afraid your reputation might be tarnished because, after all, this could be one big Saul-Alinsky-style set-up, and the joke would be on you?
Fear not! Joe the Farmer has prepared an outline showing that no matter how this issue is ultimately resolved, you have legitimate concerns, and that Barack Obama should, simply out of respect for the nation he was elected to lead, disclose the sealed vault copy of his birth certificate.
Given the circumstances, if Barack Obama respected this nation, he would prove it by the simplest and easiest of gestures - unless, of course, all this talk about change and hope was just a bunch of bull, and he's just "another politician." Here's the outline:
1. Under Hawaiian law, it is possible (both legally and illegally) for a person to have been born out of state, yet have a birth certificate on file in the Department of Health.
A. From Hawaii's official Department of Health, Vital Records webpage: "Amended certificates of birth may be prepared and filed with the Department of Health, as provided by law, for 1) a person born in Hawaii who already has a birth certificate filed with the Department of Health or 2) a person born in a foreign country" (applies to adopted children).
B. A parent may register an in-state birth in lieu of certification by a hospital of birth under HRS 338-5.
C. Hawaiian law expressly provides for registration of out-of-state births under HRS 338-17.8. A foreign birth presumably would have been recorded by the American consular of the country of birth, and presumably that would be reflected on the Hawaiian birth certificate.
D. Hawaiian law, however, expressly acknowledges that its system is subject to error. See, for example, HRS 338-17.
E. Hawaiian law expressly provides for verification in lieu of certified copy of a birth certificate under HRS 338-14.3.
F. Even the Hawaii Department of Home Lands does not accept a certified copy of a birth certificate as conclusive evidence for its homestead program. From its web site: "In order to process your application, DHHL utilizes information that is found only on the original Certificate of Live Birth, which is either black or green.
This is a more complete record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer-generated printout). Submitting the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money since the computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL."
2. Contrary to what you may have read, no document made available to the public, nor any statement by Hawaiian officials, evidences conclusively that Obama was born in Hawaii.
A. Associated Press reported about a statement of Hawaii Health Department Director Dr. Fukino, "State declares Obama birth certificate genuine."
B. That October 31, 2008 statement says that Dr. Fukino "ha[s] personally seen and verified that the Hawai'i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures."
That statement does not, however, verify that Obama was born in Hawaii, and as explained above, under Hawaiian policies and procedures it is quite possible that Hawaii may have a birth record of a person not born in Hawaii. Unlikely, but possible.
C. The document that the Obama campaign released to the public is a certified copy of Obama's birth record, which is not the best evidence since, even under Hawaiian law, the original vault copy is the better evidence. Presumably, the vault record would show whether his birth was registered by a hospital in Hawaii.
D. Without accusing anyone of any wrongdoing, we nevertheless know that some people have gone to great lengths, even in violation of laws, rules and procedures, to confer the many benefits of United States citizenship on themselves and their children.
Given the structure of the Hawaiian law, the fact that a parent may register a birth, and the limited but inherent potential for human error within the system, it is possible that a parent of a child born out-of-state could have registered that birth to confer the benefits of U.S. citizenship, or simply to avoid bureaucratic hassles at that time or later in the child's life.
1. We don't know whether the standards of registration by the Department of Health were more or less stringent in 1961 (the year of Obama's birth) than they are today. However, especially with post-9/11 scrutiny, we do know that there have been instances of fraudulent registrations of foreign births as American births.
2. From a 2004 Department of Justice news release about multiple New Jersey vital statistics employees engaged in schemes to issue birth certificates to foreign-born individuals: "An individual who paid Anderson and her co-conspirators for the service of creating the false birth records could then go to Office of Vital Statistics to receive a birth certificate . . .
As part of the investigation, federal agents executed a search warrant of the HCOVS on Feb. 18, 2004, which resulted in the seizure of hundreds of suspect Certificates of Live Birth which falsely indicated that the named individuals were born in Jersey City, when in fact, they were born outside the United States and were in the United States illegally . . . Bhutta purchased from Goswamy false birth certificates for himself and his three foreign-born children."
3. Even before 9/11, government officials acknowledged the "ease" of obtaining birth certificates fraudulently. From 1999 testimony by one Social Security Administration official: "Furthermore, the identity data contained in Social Security records are only as reliable as the evidence on which the data are based.
The documents that a card applicant must present to establish age, identity, and citizenship, usually a birth certificate and immigration documents-are relatively easy to alter, counterfeit, or obtain fraudulently."

For Immediate Release: October 31, 2008 08-93
There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obamas official birth certificate. State law (Hawaii Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.
Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obamas original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures. No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawaii.

For consideration:
Hawaiian state law allows children born outside Hawaii get valid Hawaiian birth certificates (S. 338-17.8)
The following Hawaii state law (Hawaii Revised Statutes S. 338-17.8) allows children who are born outside Hawaii to obtain valid Hawaiian birth certificates, depending on the residency of their parents. This law isn't restricted to those born in the other 49 states; a child could be born in a foreign country and still get a valid HI birth certificate. This law was added in 1982, as confirmed by law librarians at the U. of Hawaii and L.A. County law libraries.
Note the fact that this applies to parents living in the "Territory" of Hawaii, an entity that was dissolved in 1959. If this law had been intended to only include children born in 1982 or later, would they have referred to the "Territory" of Hawaii? Clearly, this was intended to include those born before 1982 as well.
The source is here, and here's the text of that page:
[§338-17.8] Certificates for children born out of State. (a) Upon application of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the director of health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided that proof has been submitted to the director of health that the legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child.
(b) Proof of legal residency shall be submitted to the director of health in any manner that the director shall deem appropriate. The director of health may also adopt any rules pursuant to chapter 91 that he or she may deem necessary or proper to prevent fraudulent applications for birth certificates and to require any further information or proof of events necessary for completion of a birth certificate.
(c) The fee for each application for registration shall be established by rule adopted pursuant to chapter 91. [L 1982, c 182, §1]
Ping a ling...!!
I'll pick door 4.A.3... a Machiavelli- and Saul-Alinsky-style way to manipulate public opinion.
Until Barry Sotero, AKA Barack Hussein Obama or WHATEVER that bastard calls himself, produces PROOF he is American born, he's just an impostor to me.
This guy has relatives all over the globe. His flower child mother traveled from the U.S. to Indonesia to Kenya to who knows where in between IF the woman he claims was his mother really WAS his mother.
Soros bankrolled this guy along with the Desert Sheiks. His alleged mother and father died some time ago and his tale about his grandparents in Hawaii doesn't impress me.
The mainstream media refused to vet him during the election.
ALL of that is a smoking gun pointing towards a fraudulent claim of citizenship.
I'm with you. He is definitely hiding something and seems to be getting a whole lot of help doing so. I believe the first thing he did as president was to seal those records..but, how come nobody could get them before that?
I personally dont believe he is eligible to be president..and I am not ashamed to admit it.
You read the comments at American Thinker!
ping for reference
The root of the problem is the odd relationship between His mother and his putative father. Have the whereabouts of these two people during the pregnancy been determined ? If so, where and by whom?
~~Ping for later
thanks for the ping.
OBAMMY was born in Kenya........his GRANDMAMMY say so!
If the lying bastard can be proven in court NOT to be a natural born citizen AND he can be proven to have DELIBERATELY presented himself as such, it would seem to me:
a) He can be removed from office and,
b) He can be prosecuted for fraud.
I would LOVE to see this bastard spend the rest of his life n a Federal penitentiary.
And who knows. If George Soros can be PROVEN to have aided and abetted this bastard, we can throw HIM in a Federal Pen too! I doubt if he would find an NAZI guards there to suck up to.
where are you?
Yep! It bugs me.
People have been trying their best..any way they can to catch the bastard. It seems nobody can get anywhere.
I think his administration is falling apart. And sometimes, he looks to me like he is having a breakdown. He is awfully skinny.
Maybe he wont last the next 3 years..do they have presidential suites in the looney bin?
Dont be afraid of what you think..especially when you are probably right. Just ask your friends WHY he had his records sealed when we were able to see those of any other president.
Edwin Vieira, Constitutional Lawyer: "at the inauguration. . he's aware he's not a citizen, then it's a perjured oath."
My favorite: "Silence can only be equated with fraud where there is a legal or moral duty to speak or where an inquiry left unanswered would be intentionally misleading." United States v Prudder, 424 F. 2d 1021(5thCir. 1970),cert. denied, 400 U.S. 831 (1970)
What a coward for not showing his Long Form Birth Certificate, not to mention his other bonafides.
As an aside...I read almost every article on threads I reply on. You have to know the topic of conversation.
I read everything from sites like American Thinker.
Barf Alerts rarely get a view.

I wonder where Alan Keyes suit is in the courts about the bastard's citizenship? One of the suits was dismissed, but I think Keyes is still in the Courts.
This article is from 2008 - A.T. has 335 comments. I read the first page.
What bugs me is the Dems were all ready to contest the "natural born citizen" status of McCain.
Exactly where is the dividing line between NBC and non-NBC?
I don't know. I don't think there is judicial case law on it, at least for the Presidential elections, and there is an argument that the electoral college is a non-judicial activity. Because the House and Senate have accepted the electors' ballots, the eligibility may be resolved already. As I said, I don't know. I am not a lawyer and even lawyers can differ on the finer points of the law.
Very few babies can testify where they were born.
I firmly believe only a Tea party sized event upon Washington with the strong emphasis upon Obamas legal standing to be POTUS will crack the "force field" surrounding him.
Mr. Dunham: I am the only POTUS you got! I'm the damn POTUSfamilias!
Crowd of Citizens: But you ain't bona fide!
/O Brother, Where Art Thou? imitation {;^)
this is the issue that will not die
I am not sure what happened to his, but I believe some case was supposed to come up in January.
I am losing hope. I do hope they keep trying..but it seems like nothing happens.
let's see it
Their Long Form Birth Certificate can.
People still seem to be stuck on the "His mom was a citizen so Obama automatically became a citizen." IT'S NOT TRUE.
Obama's mother was too young to pass her American citizenship on to her son IF she gave birth outside the United States. She was eighteen, and the law at that time required that she have resided in the U.S. for at five years after age fourteen.
Here is confirmation of the "five years after age fourteen" requirement in a United States Department of State document from the Department of State website, "U.S. Department of State Foreign Affairs Manual Volume 7 - Consular Affairs":
Page 17:
7 FAM 1133.2-2 Original Provisions and Amendments to Section 301
a. Section 301 as Effective on December 24, 1952: When enacted in 1952,section 301 required a U.S. citizen married to an alien to have been physically present in the United States for ten years, including five after reaching the age of fourteen, to transmit citizenship to foreign-born children.
Couple that with a fraudulent claim of citizenship and you have a possible conspiracy to defraud the United States.
All Ineligible
All three of the 2008 presidential candidates, Obama (aka Soetoro), McCain, and Calero were not eligible under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution to serve as Commander-in-Chief.
Just like a residential purchase of a home is void if fraud in the inducement (where one party conceals a material fact that if people knew about it ahead of time, they would not enter into a residential purchase of a home), the same thing has occurred with the primaries and presidential election on November 4, 2008.
Because these three candidates (Obama (aka Soetoro), McCain, and Calero) were ineligible under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution, the 2008 presidential election and its results should be voided.
Regardless of what game of charades people in the mainstream media and people within our federal government are trying to pull. That is a legal fact that can not be disputed.
Obama has only one US citizen parent. His father was British subject and a Citizen of Kenya — as was Obama.
McCain was not born in the mainland US. John Sidney McCain III was born at the Colon Hospital, located at Avenida Melendez and 2nd Street, Manzanillo Island, City of Colon, Republic of Panama.
The time of birth on the birth certificate issued by Panama Railroad Company (which owned the Colon Hospital) was 5:25 PM and the day and date of birth was Saturday, August 29, 1936.
Calero was not born in the mainland US. He was born in Nicaragua.
Democrats Try To Change The Rules
On February 28, 2008, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) introduced a bill to the Senate for consideration. That bill was known as S. 2678: Children of Military Families Natural Born Citizen Act. The bill was co-sponsored by Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), and Sen. Thomas Coburn (R-OK).
Bill S. 2678 attempted to change article II, section 1, clause 5 of the Constitution of the United States with reference to the requirements of being a "natural born citizen" and hence; the entitlement to run for President of the United States.
This bill met the same fate that similar attempts to change the Constitution have in the past. Attempts such as The Natural Born Citizen Act were known to have failed and the text scrubbed from the internet, with only a shadow-cached copy left, that only the most curious public can find.
Sen. McCaskill, her co-sponsors, fellow colleagues and legal counsel, contend that the Constitution is ambiguous in article II, section 1 and requires clarification. But does it?
Senate Judicial Committee Chairman Says Obama Not Eligible — And Obama Agrees
On April 10, 2008, Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Claire McCaskill (D-MO) introduced a resolution expressing the sense of the U.S. Senate that presidential candidate Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was a 'natural born Citizen,' as specified in the Constitution and eligible to run for president.
Sen. McCaskill knew Obama was not a U.S. Citizen, thats why she introduced this bill — dressing it up to look like it was in Sen. John McCain's cause.
It was during the bill's hearing that Sen. Patrick Leahy, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, made the following statement:
"Because he was born to American citizens, there is no doubt in my mind that Senator McCain is a natural born citizen," said Leahy. "I expect that this will be a unanimous resolution of the Senate."
At a Judiciary Committee hearing on April 3, Leahy asked Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, himself a former Federal judge, if he had doubts that McCain was eligible to serve as President.
"My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen," Chertoff replied.
"That is mine, too," said Leahy.
What's interesting here is that Sen. Leahy, the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary, confirms that a "natural born" citizen is the child of American citizen parents.
Parents — that's two. That's BOTH parents.
Every time the words, "citizen" and "parent," are used by Sen. Leahy and Sec. Chertoff, the plural case, "citizens" and "parents," is used. The plural case is the operative case.
It is Sen. Leahy's opinion — his own recorded words, in a formal Senate Resolution and on his U. S. Senate website — that Barack Obama is not a "natural born" citizen, and therefore not eligible to serve as Commander-in-Chief, regardless of his birthplace.
Obama had one American parent —singular — his mother. His father was a citizen of Kenya, and a subject of Great Britain.
Obama, himself, "at birth," was a citizen of Kenya, and a subject of Great Britain — he says so on his own campaign website. This fact introduces the concept of "divided loyalties," — the reason the founders created the eligibility requirement in the first place — a fact that further underlines Obama's ineligibility.
The source of this information is Sen. Leahy's own website. The webpage contains a statement about the resolution; the resolution, itself; the Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.); and an excerpt of Sec. Chertoff's testimony.
The plural word "parents" is used four times. When used to identify the parents, the word "citizens" is used five times. That's nine times that Sen. Leahy, on his own website describes the eligibility requirement. There is NO PLACE in any of these four documents where the singular case of "parent" or "citizen" is used.
The real purpose of this bill was to change article II, section 1, clause 5 of the Constitution of the United States with reference to the requirements of being a "natural born citizen" by the Democratic Party leadership — paving the way for an Obama run.
Both Leahy and Chertoff avoid addressing the "in the US mainland" (jus solis) element of the eligibility requirement and focus solely on parentage (Jus sanguinis) in making their arguments and by doing so bring focus to the fundamental reason Obama is not qualified. He had one American parent and one foreign parent. Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen — no matter where he was born.
Obama is a co-signer of this resolution. So, I guess he too agrees that one needs two American parents to be eligible for POTUS — except he doesn't care — after all, he's the Obamamessiah. Rules don't apply to him.
35 Or 36
Since the 1870s, assorted Congress critters have attempted to define or redefine "natural born" citizen status nearly 30 times!
There were five attempts to re-define "natural born" citizen status since 2001 — that's six attempts, if you include Sen. Leahy's Resolution for McCain in March 2008.
A lot of people know he is defrauding America, problem is all those in a position of power to do anything about it are too busy trying to take advantage of this and to secure a more lucrative power base.
Collaborators in a polite sense.
Yeah..but it seems nobody can get any action going.
Ya know..in the world we live in today, it seems nothing is a secret. Somebody always uncovers something or other. I just dont get why some crooked person hasnt gotten his hands on any of these hidden documents.
Geeze, they even uncovered that info on global warming..and nobody can get their hands on any of this morons papers? He isnt God. Someone has GOT to know something..or be able to get their hands on something.
Well, somebody should have made it clear..maybe if they did, we would be dealing with HIM now.
I honestly think someone should fix this and make it absolutely clear...so we dont ever have to go thru this again.
If they want to judge it by the parents..or by the child plus the parents..or just by the child. They should pick something, so there is an absolute law on who can be president and who cant.
Actually, the law doesn't apply only to those in 1982 or later. The law is a little confusing because it is written in compound sentences. If you break it down into its parts ( as I have done in the bold type ) it becomes more clear :
Certificates for children born out of State. (a) Upon application of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the director of health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided that proof has been submitted to the director of health that the legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child.
As can be seen, someone today - who was born in 1964 or earlier - can go in and apply for a COLB as long as they can prove the residency requirement of the parent. An adult in 1982 would have been anyone born in 1964 or earlier. Therefore, it clearly doesn't apply to those born only after 1982.
Correction - Well actually someone today who is 18 or older can apply. The 1964 applied to the year 1982 when the law was written.
One approach to learning about our foundations is to read Wolf and Pufendorf and Leibniz, precursors of Vattel. Another is to read the extensive discussions of citizenship in supreme court cases (some lower courts pay little attention to precedent, such as the Indiana Supreme Court in their recent decision which rewrites the History around Chester Arthur).
Legal scholars have spent volumes on citizenship since The Revolution: Alexander Morse, Piggot, Collins, Kent, Story, Desty. Then there are the last ten years. I did not realize there had been five attempts to redefine Article II since 2001. I knew of Orren Hatch, who subsequently forgot his understanding of what it was he tried to change in 2003. Do you include statutes, which cannot, of course, amend The Constitution? What are some other attempt to alter Article II Sect 1?
Being lazy, I usually depend upon a citation in the Herlihy Paper wherein she cites 24 attempts to amend the definition of natural born citizen. She, of course, in her 26 pages, doesn't mention Marshall, or Happersett, or Waite, or Venus, or Hamilton, or Jay, or Washington, but makes the advent of globalism the reason we need to admit children of aliens to the restricted class of presidential qualities.
Has someone preserved the "shadow-cached" bills which have been scrubbed? I, for example, saved the Herlihy Chicago-Kent Law Review article, noting that it was so obviously aimed at supporting an Obama run that it might be useful. Of course it disappeared from the Internet. It must still be on paper in law libraries, so it appears the Obama team is just buying time; until what? Do they expect to have replaced the 1st Amendment? Perhaps.
I think we had his genuine Kenyan birth certificate. Otherwise, why would the lib hackers change the reference numbers and so quickly?

Offer hardworking families a chance to take their first step out of poverty. Learn more.
Support World CouncilWith Amazon Smiles!
MADISON, Wis. — In support of the credit union philosophy of serving the
underserved, four U.S. state credit union foundations and leagues have
created scholarships enabling employees from their member credit unions to participate in World Council of Credit Unions' (WOCCU) Spanish Immersion Program. Participants in the program are fully immersed in Spanish language lessons and Hispanic culture, while also spending time working at local credit unions and exploring their marketing strategies. The program provides participants with valuable insight into ways to better serve Hispanic consumers at their home credit unions.
This year's program takes place in San José, Costa Rica, where participants will begin each day with four hours of Spanish language instruction at a certified language school with an emphasis on business and financial terminology. Each participant is classified according to his or her individual skill level, from beginner to native Spanish-speaker. The participants will be able to apply what they learn from language classes in a real-world setting while living with a pre-screened Costa Rican host family. The host family will provide a private room and all meals to the participant, along with the experience of being a part of a Hispanic family.
The 2010 program begins October 2. Participants can choose either a one- or two-week session priced at $1,800 and $2,600, respectively. Those who register before June 30 will receive a $100 early bird discount.
The state credit union foundations and leagues currently offering program scholarships are as follows:

On Friday, October 7, 2011, alumni of U.S. exchange programs opened a three-day conference focusing on how they can "Give Back to Pakistan." Approximately 200 alumni of U.S. Humphrey and Fulbright Exchange programs gathered for the eighth consecutive year to discuss their role in promoting the socio-economic development of Pakistan across a range of issues including child welfare, women's empowerment, sustainable development, health reforms, and regional stability.
Thomas Miller, the Minister Counselor for Public Affairs of the U.S. Embassy Islamabad and himself a former Fulbright Scholar in Pakistan, testified to the value of educational and cultural exchange programs. "These alumni, by tackling tough social and development issues and working for the betterment of Pakistan, are making invaluable contributions to Pakistan," said Mr. Miller. "As a Fulbright alumni myself, I could not be prouder than to hear of their accomplishments and their continued commitment to giving back to Pakistan."
Pakistan boasts the largest Fulbright program in the world. The Fulbright and Humphrey Programs are educational and cultural exchange programs funded and administered by the U.S. Department of State. More than 4,000 Pakistanis have participated in the Fulbright program since it began in Pakistan in 1950.

As the staunch supporter of women empowerment in middle class or working class, because womens of elite class needs nothing such a empowerment they had already enjoying alot in this sector,so I would like to convey my immediate thought that it is more better to explore more possibilities for womens of first two classes stated above through any available means / sources this will definatley change the socio-economic situation in pakistan and taping the peak sources of corruption at once because in current cultural attitudes womens have even not a right to cast their votes at their own desires and the males figures of the families recieve monetory benefits from the political parties for casting per vote. This is the dilema of current political environment.

Emergency contraception— sometimes called emergency birth control or the "morning after" pill—can prevent pregnancy when used up to five days after unprotected sex. There are several methods of emergency contraception, and they prevent pregnancy the same way as some regular methods of birth control. It is not the same as the "abortion pill" (Mifeprex, RU-486).
Emergency contraception should not be used as regular birth control. Other birth control methods are much better at keeping women from becoming pregnant. Talk with your doctor to decide which one is right for you.
Emergency contraception is available from healthcare providers. For a healthcare provider in your area, call the Family Health line at 1-800-328-3838.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Life Lessons
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "There are some things I've been keeping from you," Jim Cramer's never told "Mad Money" viewers Tuesday.
So he went a little autobiographical to tell viewers how he came to make the markets his life and where he learned his most valuable lessons about money and investing.
Cramer said that unlike most people who became interested in the stock market, his love of stocks didn't start in college or even in high school. He said it was fourth grade when he first noticed how his father's mood would change based on whether his stocks were going up or down that day. That piqued his interest, he said. That started an investment education from Dad that has stuck with him ever since.
Cramer recalled how his father brought home the 1964 board game "Stocks & Bonds," manufactured by, of all companies, 3M (MMM) , which drew him into the markets even further. It turned out stocks are a lot like his obsession with baseball since you're always on the lookout for which players are hot and which ones are not.
What's the lesson from Cramer's elementary school days? Get your kids involved with money early in life and they may just play for life, which is a good thing since the stock market is a long-term game.
It Pays to Save
Cramer's next life lesson stemmed from his high school and college days and the first jobs that followed. He said the lesson is to always be saving, no matter how hard things are at the time.
It was selling ice cream at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia that taught Cramer his first lessons in business, he said, including how much money there was to be made by obtaining exclusive rights to sell something cold on hot afternoons in the upper decks. But it was Cramer's father who again helped him open an account at Fidelity to invest in mutual funds. Cramer said he put money away every week.
That dedication to investing carried on after college, Cramer noted, even when his first job as a reporter was only paying him $156 a month. As he graduated into more lucrative jobs, ones that paid $179 a week, he continued the savings.
But Cramer's most challenging point was while in San Diego, after his apartment was robbed and he lost everything. He spent six months living out of his car while he rebuilt his life, but continued to put money away -- enough so that 35 years later, those mutual funds total well into the six figures.
Start Small
Cramer's next life lesson: Start small and do your homework. He recounted how he started his career as a stock picker in 1979, making his first trade in an orange grower in Florida. He bought 10 shares for a total of $9, he recalled. A week later, an early frost wiped out the orange crop and he lost 50% of his investment.

One of the primary symptoms of poverty in children is hunger. The facts about hunger clearly show its relationship to other symptoms of poverty around the world such as malnutrition, low birth rate and poor health. In fact, the hunger facts are just a small glimpse into the destruction that poverty causes.
Each year, millions of children die from malnutrition. This is one of the most sobering facts about hunger – it steals life from the most innocent and vulnerable … children. Hunger is preventable, but it requires knowledge and action.
Proper nutrition for every child in our programs is a priority of ours. Our child development centers provide children with nutritious meals and snacks on program activity days, and we train children about the importance of a balanced diet.
Staff members at our local church-based centers are also trained to detect malnutrition among the children they serve and take immediate action on their behalf. Often that means a program of emergency feeding and vitamin supplements for a severely malnourished child, as well as working with the child's caregivers to ensure that meals at home meet nutritional needs.
Chronically undernourished children who manage to survive their first five years, often live with devastating results. Their bodies are stunted physically, they are highly susceptible to illness, and their brains are underdeveloped. The hope of reaching their full, God-given potential is all but shattered.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) directly parallel what Compassion does. But when it comes to goals and implementation we sometimes take a different approach. This is a quick analysis of the SDGs and how they most closely match our work, along with ways they overlap and differ.

There is no doubt that web application security is a current and very newsworthy subject. For all concerned, the stakes are high: for businesses that derive increasing revenue from Internet commerce, for users who trust web applications with sensitive information, and for criminals who can make big money by stealing payment details or compromising bank accounts. Reputation plays a critical role: few people want to do business with an insecure web site, and so few organizations want to disclose details about their own security vulnerabilities or breaches. Hence, it is not trivial to obtain reliable information about the state of web application security today. Any security threats arising from hosting a web site related largely to vulnerabilities in web server software (of which there were many). If an attacker compromised a web server, he would not normally gain access to any sensitive information, because the information held on the server was already open to public view. Rather, an attacker would typically modify the files on the server to deface the web site's contents, or use the server's storage and bandwidth to distribute "warez."
Today, the World Wide Web is almost unrecognizable from its earlier form. The majority of sites on the web are in fact applications. They are highly functional, and rely upon two-way flow of information between the
server and browser. They support registration and login, financial transactions, search, and the authoring of content by users. The content presented to users is generated dynamically on the fly, and is often tailored to each specific user. Much of the information processed is private and highly sensitive. Security is therefore a big issue: no one wants to use a web application if they believe their information will be disclosed to unauthorized parties. Web applications bring with them new and significant security threats. Each application is different and may contain unique vulnerabilities. Most applications are developed in-house, and many by developers who have little understanding of the security problems that may arise in the code they are producing. To deliver their core functionality, web applications normally require connectivity to internal computer systems that contain highly sensitive data and are able to perform powerful business functions. Ten years ago, if you wanted to make a funds transfer, you visited your bank and someone performed it for you; today, you can visit their web application and perform it yourself. An attacker who compromises a web application may be able to steal personal information, carry out financial fraud, and perform malicious actions against other users.
Common Web Application Functions
Web applications have been created to perform practically every useful function
one could possibly implement online. Examples of web application functions
that have risen to prominence in recent years include:
- Shopping (Amazon)
- Social networking (MySpace)
- Banking (Citibank)
- Web search (Google)
- Auctions (eBay)
- Gambling (Betfair)
- Web logs (Blogger)
- Web mail (Hotmail)
- Interactive information (Wikipedia)
In addition to the public Internet, web applications have been widely adopted inside organizations to perform key business functions, including accessing HR services and managing company resources. They are also frequently used to provide an administrative interface to hardware devices such as printers, and other software such as web servers and intrusion detection systems. Numerous applications that predated the rise of web applications have been migrated to this technology. Business applications like enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, which were previously accessed using a proprietary thick-client application, can now be accessed using a web browser. Software services such as email, which originally required a separate email client, can now be accessed via web interfaces like Outlook Web Access. This trend is continuing as traditional desktop office applications such as word processors and spreadsheets are migrated to web applications, through services like Google Apps and Microsoft Office Live. The time is fast approaching when the only client software that most computer users will need is a web browser. A hugely diverse range of functions will have been implemented using a shared set of protocols and technologies, and in so doing will have inherited a distinctive range of common security vulnerabilities.
Benefits of Web Applications
It is not difficult to see why web applications have enjoyed such a dramatic rise to prominence. Several technical factors have worked alongside the obvious commercial incentives to drive the revolution that has occurred in the way we use the Internet:
- HTTP, the core communications protocol used to access the World Wide Web, is lightweight and connectionless. This provides resilience in the event of communication errors and avoids the need for the server to hold open a network connection to every user as was the case in many legacy client-server applications. HTTP can also be proxied and tunneled over other protocols, allowing for secure communication in any network configuration.
- Every web user already has a browser installed on their computer. Web applications deploy their user interface dynamically to the browser, avoiding the need to distribute and manage separate client software, as was the case with pre-web applications. Changes to the interface only need to be implemented once, on the server, and take effect immediately.
- Today's browsers are highly functional, enabling rich and satisfying user interfaces to be built. Web interfaces use standard navigational and input controls that are immediately familiar to users, avoiding the need to learn how each individual application functions. Client-side scripting enables applications to push part of their processing to the client side, and browsers' capabilities can be extended in arbitrary ways using thick-client components where necessary.
- The core technologies and languages used to develop web applications are relatively simple. A wide range of platforms and development tools are available to facilitate the development of powerful applications by relative beginners, and a large quantity of open source code and other resources is available for incorporation into custom-built applications.
Web Application Security
As with any new class of technology, web applications have brought with them a new range of security vulnerabilities. The set of most commonly encountered defects has evolved somewhat over time. New attacks have been conceived that were not considered when existing applications were developed. Some problems have become less prevalent as awareness of them has increased. New technologies have been developed that have introduced new possibilities for exploitation. Some categories of flaws have largely gone away as the result of changes made to web browser software. Throughout this evolution, compromises of prominent web applications have remained in the news, and there is no sense that a corner has been turned and that these security problems are on the wane. Arguably, web application security is today the most significant battleground between attackers and those with computer resources and data to defend, and it is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future.
SSL is an excellent technology that protects the confidentiality and integrity of data in transit between the user's browser and the web server. It helps to defend against eavesdroppers, and it can provide assurance to the user of the identity of the web server they are dealing with. But it does not stop attacks that directly target the server or client components of an application, as most successful attacks do. Specifically, it does not prevent any of the vulnerabilities listed previously, or many others that can render an application critically exposed to attack. Regardless of whether or not they use SSL, most web applications still contain security flaws. flaws /vulnerabilty includes:
- Broken authentication (67%) — This category of vulnerability encompasses various defects within the application's login mechanism, which may enable an attacker to guess weak passwords, launch a brute-force attack, or bypass the login altogether.
- Broken access controls (78%) — This involves cases where the application fails to properly protect access to its data and functionality, potentially enabling an attacker to view other users' sensitive data held on the server, or carry out privileged actions.
- SQL injection (36%) — This vulnerability enables an attacker to submit crafted input to interfere with the application's interaction with back-end databases. An attacker may be able to retrieve arbitrary data from the application, interfere with its logic, or execute commands on the database server itself.
- Cross-site scripting (91%) — This vulnerability enables an attacker to target other users of the application, potentially gaining access to their data, performing unauthorized actions on their behalf, or carrying out other attacks against them.
- Information leakage (81%) — This involves cases where an application divulges sensitive information that is of use to an attacker in developing an assault against the application, through defective error handling or other behavior.

When the Phone Rules All (video)
This video is funny... only because it's true. I'm watching this and thinking of Sherry Turkle's observation that adults are much more susceptible to technology's lure than children today:
"I believe that there are some places that, in the car, it's reasonable to say, 'Hey, I'm going back to my friends. I want to tell them I'm coming.' Every place you are with your children, you can't say is a sacred space. That doesn't fly. But I think that, for families as they grow up, I do feel strongly about this because really this dinner table thing has been such a theme in my research, such a theme as teenagers look back on their lives and what they miss. It's teenagers who say, 'My parents text at the dinner table.'
There's a story in my book: This young man has a mother who is a gourmet cook. So her pleasure is in making these long, long, many-course meals and that's how she shows her love for her family. And she's married to a kind of master of the universe, kind of Wall Street-type guy, and he's on his BlackBerry all through dinner. And their son starts to try to negotiate with the mother: Could she prepare shorter meals so that then maybe the father would put away the BlackBerry? But he's not going to do it if it's a four-course meal. But maybe he would do it if it was basically just soup and salad, or maybe he would do it if it was just salad and a grilled steak. You know, you see a teenager trying to negotiate some way to get this BlackBerry out of the dinner table, and it's touching."

Skip to comments.This Cat Betrayed His Girlfriend
Posted on 10/18/2009 2:47:55 PM PDT by Fawn
This cat betrayed his girlfriend.....very funny!! Turn on sound
That was one talkative cat.
Bookmark for when my speaker works.
How do we know it was the male cat that cheated on the female? I think it was the other way around. This cat translator obviously knows nothing.
I laughed til i cried, I know that is a cliche but this is screamingly funny.
I sent it to all the cat lovers I know...ROTFLMAO!
I did too...I needed a good laugh and this was purrrrfect.
That was hilarious! Really hilarious. Thanks for a big laugh.
You don't even need to be a cat lover to appreciate this one. It was hilarious.
He he.
It upset my two. They were running around the apartment, heads up and tails down saying "whatsup? whatsup? whatsup?"
That is hilarious! I love how the black and white cat just sits there and takes it! LOL
My dogs freaked out when I played that video.
My dog flipped out as well!
Too funny!
nikki the kitty came running when that thing started playing. forget the subtitles, i was cracking up watching my own cat try to figure out what was going on. :)
yes, dear.
I really did laugh out loud!!
Thanks, Slings and Arrows....just what I needed.
Glad you enjoyed.
That lion needs a mancave - stat!
Thanks for post Fawn and for the ping RandallFlagg.
That video is funny, but it's a fake.
The cat's are real, but the vocal track was taken from a Yoko Ono record.
I played that and cranked up the sound nice and loud for my cats to enjoy.
Whoa Nelly!!! Talk about some freaked out kitties!!!!
They are all giving the computer a wide berth today. I'll be able to get some work done.
I LOL'ed!!!!
We just played that for the cat a couple of days ago.
She kept getting up on two legs and pacing back and forth.
It was an absolute scream.
thanks for the post.
That sound had my cat freaking out. She was winding up for battle over here.
My 7 yr old just ran in to see what the commotion was...just about peed herself laughing...
It's the orange cat has that broad male face and tough guy build...
There were three guys talking in the pub. Two of them are talking about the amount of control they have over their wives, while the third remains quiet.
After a while one of the first two turns to the third and says,
"Well, what about you, what sort of control do you have over your wife?"
The third fellow says "I'll tell you. Just the other night my wife came to me on her hands and knees."
The first two guys were amazed. "What happened then?" they asked. "She said, 'get out from under the bed and fight like a man!'."
Reminds me of what Rush Limbaugh said on his show years ago.
He said that he and Charleton Heston were good friends. One day, Rush marveled at Heston's marriage, as it had lasted for over fifty years. Heston replied, "The secret is to learn these six words, and to use them often:
"Honey, I was wrong. I apologize.""
A priest said there are 6 words that can repair even the most seemingly irreparably harmed relationship, if the words come from the heart. The repair may not be of your design, but it will happen.
"I was wrong. I am sorry."
Seen it, FUNNY!:)=^..^=

Fifteen San Francisco high schools offer a wellness center where students can discuss depression, anger, anxiety, addiction or just stress.
In a recent districtwide survey of teachers who had referred students to Wellness Centers, three-quarters reported greater academic success. Eighty-six percent said they noticed that the students had improved emotional well-being.
"Our No. 1 need is moreclinicians," said Jessica Stein Colvin, who runs the wellness center at Galilieo High. "There is mental health therapy happening here all the time. Every single clinical space is used every hour of the day."
Rahsaan, a 17-year-old a senior at Galileo, broke up with his girlfriend last year. He is estranged from his parents and siblings — he has lived in the Bayview district with his disabled grandfather, whom he has cared for for more than 10 years.
Last semester, he said, his grades plummeted when he hit an emotional wall.
"I was outside and one of the teachers saw me crying and they brought me down here," Rahsaan said. "Jessica and the other teacher stayed here after school to make sure I wasn't going to harm myself or anything. It helped me a lot because I was, like, literally going to kick somebody's ass and not care about the consequences."
The wellness centers were started after the Columbine massacre, when many schools were trying to reach troubled teenagers. "We took an approach that was particular to random acts of violence and decided to go broad and provide a spectrum of services so we could reach as many students as possible," said Kevin Gogin, director of School Health Programs.

Our work to build healthy communities, families and individuals is at the heart of Mercy Corps' vision for social change. By partnering with a range of partners, from village health committees to government agencies, we help build the means to improve maternal, newborn and child health, ensure proper nutrition and combat infectious diseases.
All stories about Health
Guatemala: Fresher food, better nutrition, happier families
In the northern highlands of Guatemala, the signs and symptoms of malnutrition are a common sight: stunted growth, underweight bodies and visible fatigue.
Guatemala: Rural micropharmacies offer medicine for all
Sustainable Community Health Stores is a new way of addressing the rural healthcare problem. It helps local families start small businesses while providing much-needed medicines in underserved communities.
Zimbabwe: The Joint Initiative brings HIV care to homes
The importance of early medical referrals is one of the many reasons the Joint Initiative for Urban Zimbabwe (JI) — a consortium of ten non-governmental organizations (NGOs) — places a strong focus on community home-based care.
Indonesia: Babies and mothers at a Mother's Support Group in Jakarta
Some of the babies and mothers who attended the first Mother's Support Group in Jakarta's Cengkareng Barat neighborhood.
Indonesia: Mothers supporting mothers
When my first daughter was born, none of my closest friends had children and I was living far from my mother and grandmothers. I felt alone with my questions and concerns about sleep, diapers and breast feeding so I joined a local mother's group.
Indonesia: Another busy day in the world's tenth-biggest city
I wasn't quite expecting to see as much of Jakarta as this. Today we met the Mercy Corps staff at their offices for a presentation of the various projects the organization is doing in Indonesia.
Guatemala: "Broadcasting" important health and nutrition news in rural Guatemala
Each time I showed up to small and faraway communities where the heat was unbearable, where there was no electricity to turn on a light bulb, where there was no wind to ease the heat in the air — and where the field workers were parking their motorcycles and placing their gear on the dried grass
Indonesia: Inviting the rain
In their old villages — before the earthquake and tsunami hit Indonesia's Mentawai Islands last year — people never had trouble getting fresh water. Their homes were always located close to rivers, because they knew that water is of the utmost importance.
Guatemala: Molding more than corn — molding nutrition
One of Guatemala's main staple foods is corn — in fact, Guatemalans sometimes even refer to themselves as "corn people." One of the traditional ways to consume corn here is in the form of tortillas.
Japan: All the colors of helping survivors
Fumie Sugawara sits on the blue tarpaulin that's spread across the floor the gymnasium. A bright yellow truck and other vibrant toys are gathered around her. Fumie engages two young girls in an imaginative game using a dozen different shades of Play-Doh.

Record-setting canoeist talks about river
NEW ULM – One of two women who were the first women to paddle canoes from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay two years ago, gave a riveting account of the 85-day, 2,000 mile trip from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay at the Minnesota River Banquet Saturday at Lola's Larkspur Market.
Outdoors enthusiast and musician Natalie Warren, who made the trip with fellow St. Olaf College graduate Ann Raiho, said the women had no job offers after college during the state government shutdown, so they decided to follow journalist Eric Sevareid's route detailed in his book "Canoeing With the Cree."
"After months of training, I appreciated every leaf on every tree along the river," Warren said. "It was nature and the people along the way that brought us cup cakes, took us in their homes and told us life stories."
Warren said it was the people in shrinking small towns along the way that kept her going at a 1.5 mph pace.
"People told us it used to take many people to run a farm. Now many young people move to lives in big cities," Warren said.
As they approached Winnipeg, Warren and Raiho paddled all night, covering 100 miles in 28 hours in an effort to get to the city where they met her parents and enjoyed a warm, hotel room and the food they missed for the past few months.
A 12-gauge shotgun carried along for defense against polar bears, kept them from crossing the Canadian border quickly.
"We were advised not to cross Lake Winnipeg, but it was flat until we got to the north end of it," Warren said.
Windbound for three days, they paddled at night to avoid high winds. A big, bull moose and black bear kept them company on shore.
"At Norway House, a small town on the north end of Lake Winnipeg, where milk cost $10 a gallon, we were told to get a dog to help us finish the trip," Warren said. "We quickly found a stray female part-wolf dog that finished the trip with us. It was afraid of water, slept during the day and hunted at night, bringing us a beaver head one morning."
Norway House is a rural community of approximately 5,000-6,000 people 19 miles north of Lake Winnipeg, on the bank of the eastern channel of Nelson River, in the province of Manitoba, Canada. The community shares the name Norway House with the Norway House Cree Nation Indian Reserve (Kinosao Sipi Cree Nation).
The community is located 283 miles by air north of Winnipeg. To drive from Winnipeg it is about 500 miles. Major economic activities include commercial fishing, trapping, logging and government services. Seasonal unemployment varies, with peaks as high as 70%.
Nearing York Factory, at the end of the trip, the women were escorted by black bears and wolf packs staring at them from shore.
"Without fruit and vegetables the last three weeks, we only had processed food to eat, but endurance and longevity were our strengths," Warren said. "After paddling in 15 hours of sunlight, we built a fire to fight the cold each night before crawling into our sleeping bags and zipping up our tent. On the edge of insanity, you appreciate things like seeing a woodland caribou swimming across a river in this beautiful but desolate land."
There was no party or trophy for them at the end of the trip. Just some stairs leading from the water to a former boat factory.
"Caretakers there said it was good we got there when we did because they were going to leave for the season the next day," Warren said. "Had they left before we got there, we would have had to call for help to get our seaplane ride out of there."
Warren and Raiho founded Wild River Academy after their canoe trip. They organize Minnesota River canoe trips from Montevideo to New Ulm for needy students who interact with environmental groups, community members, Dakota, farmers and State Park Rangers.
Dennis Frederickson, director at the New Ulm regional Department of Natural Resources (DNR) office, said paperwork was recently completed applying for the Minnesota River to become the third river in the country to receive National Blueway designation. The award calls for federal agencies to cooperative with other organizations without adding new regulations or infringing on private property, Frederickson said.
Coalition for a Clean Minnesota River (CCMR) Executive Director Scott Sparlin said the 2013 Riverblast at Riverside Park will feature Mankato and Eau Claire, Wis. blues bands on Friday, Aug. 30. The Bockfest Boys, blues and boogie woogie rock and roll bands will be featured the following day.

Launching Welsh Roald Dahl audiobooks with RNIB Cymru
22 Tachwedd 2016,
If you're a regular visitor to our blog pages, you may have read about our work to improve the visitor experience for those who are blind or visually impaired. We've had training with Cardiff Institute for the Blind, worked with our Youth Forum to make our art galleries more accessible and even discovered a specially created exhibition from the 80s.
We were proud to host RNIB Cymru's launch event introducing a series of Welsh-language Roald Dahl Talking Books. The RNIB's Talking Books (neu Llyfrau Llafar yn Gymraeg) scheme offers a library of over 25,000 free audiobooks that helps create a lifeline to the outside world for people who are blind or partially sighted. The service's 6,000 customers will now be able to listen to Dahl's stories in Welsh for the first time.
At the launch, there were inspiring talks from RNIB staff, S4C announcer/Talking Books narrator Huw Charles and a long-time Talking Books subscriber who shared just how big a difference the service can make to people's lives.
We were then treated to readings from The BFG and Jiraff, a'r Pelican a Fi by Melangell Dolma, a Welsh-language Talking Books narrator, who demonstrated how expressive and engaging Talking Books can be.
Following the event in the Main Hall, we ran brief audio description tours of our illustration exhibition, Quentin Blake: Inside Stories. The tours were designed to offer a taster of our audio description gallery tours, which are now on offer to the public. As the day was a celebration of Roald Dahl, we focused on Blake's illustrations from two Roald Dahl stories.
First we explored artworks from The Twits, describing how Blake captures the mean and disgusting title characters using scratchy lines and drab watercolours.
To add a tactile element, we passed around several tools that Quentin Blake might use, including watercolour paint brushes, metallic dip pens and feather quills. The brave among the group were also given the opportunity to sample the scent of Mr Twit's beard, a striking blend of sardines and Stilton cheese.
Finally we moved on to illustrations from Matilda, focusing in particular on Matilda's tyrannical head teacher, Miss Trunchbull. The story is one of Roald Dahl's most popular books and was a fitting end to the morning of Dahl-themed fun. The tour was then repeated for our Welsh-speaking visitors.
We were also lucky enough to welcome RNIB Connect Radio, who did a segment on the launch, including interviews with visitors and members of staff. The comments from CIB member and good friend (along with our number one canine visitor) Sian Healy showed how the tour made Quentin Blake's work more accessible to people with visual impairments.
"Through the description that the guide gave us of what was in the picture," she said. "I could piece it together and know what I was seeing. I got the feel of the whole energy of the painting. And that's what Quentin Blake can give, that energy".
Sian also said some very kind things about her role in helping us develop these tours, proving that, although we still have a lot to learn, we're certainly on the right track.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed being involved, getting to know the staff here, getting to know more about the Museum …It's been lovely to have this sort of response from the Museum who have really embraced the idea of making the Museum accessible with these tours."
Our audio description tours run once every other month. For more information and future dates, please call (029) 2057 3240.

- More about Staub
Staub traces its origin to the Alsace region of France, where founder Francis Staub designed his first enameled pot while working in an old French artillery factory in 1974. With the goal of creating the perfect pot for cooking the region's traditional hearty soups, stews and braises, he combined cast iron, the most popular material of the time, with the latest enameling technology available. Today, Staub still makes its cookware at a traditional atelier in France, casting each pot in an individual sand mold, which is heated to 800°F and destroyed after use. The exterior enamel coating is made with glass powder and mineral pigments, applied in two or three coats to generate brilliant glossy colors.

I love this quilt. It is easy to see why it is a customer favorite. Use your own color selections to make it your own. This was my second quilt ever and it came out beautifully. I made mine a lap quilt in earth tones to match my family room furniture and now my husband wants me to make a king size for our bedroom. The instructions are clearly written and easy to follow. I will use this pattern again.

A plea agreement has been reached in the case of a father accused of killing his infant son by shaking him.
Anthony Angel, 25, recently pleaded guilty to a count of child abuse resulting in death in exchange for the dismissal of a first-degree murder charge and an assault case pending against him.
According to the agreement, Angel faces between 16 and 25 years in prison, which will be left up to District Judge William Alexander. He is scheduled for sentencing Nov. 11.
Angel was arrested Nov. 21, after his 5-month-old son Antonio died in a hospital in Aurora.
Police said the incident started days earlier when Angel and his girlfriend, Brandi Strawn, sold gold nuggets they stole from a neighbor, then crossed the city by bus looking for a place to cash the check.
The couple needed the money to reconnect the water to their apartment.
Police claimed Angel became frustrated, took the baby home and some time during the evening shook the child violently.
Angel claimed he never did anything to hurt his son and told police the child bumped his head on a metal bar during one of the bus rides.
Strawn was never charged in the death of her child, but pleaded guilty to theft and was sentenced to a year of probation and 50 hours of community service.

BYU Cougars, Utah State
Known as the "Holy War," this bitter rivalry is the biggest football game in the State of Utah. These two schools which are only about 50 miles apart, have met more than 90 times on the gridiron dating back to the 19th century. The battles on the field have been so hard fought that a majority of the games in the last 2 decades have been decided by 7 points or less. This rivalry often consumes the talk of the entire state, with allegiances splitting family, friends, and co-workers.
Fans outside of Utah often overlook this rivalry and focus on the Utah vs. BYU game, and end up missing out on one of the most hard-noised matchups in the West. Known as the Battle of the Brothers, these two Utah Universities have met more than 110 times and both squads are known for their physical brand of football. The Utes have seen much success in this series over the last 2 decades in what is usually one of the better annual non-conference games on the West Coast.
TicketCity offers a big selection of Utah Utes football tickets which include some of the lowest priced seats on the market. Utah tickets fluctuate based on demand and opponent. Marquee PAC-12 opponents, like USC, Stanford and Oregon, can drive up home game prices. While cheap tickets are more plentiful for unranked, non-conference opponents. Those early season games may offer best opportunity to purchase Utah tickets near face value.
The Utes 2017-2018 football schedule is listed as soon as it is announced by the PAC-12. Utah plays in the PAC-12 South Division, which means games against USC, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State, and Colorado. Game times are announced by the PAC-12 as soon as the TV schedule is set. Utah's home opener is typically one of the most popular games. They also play BYU in the Holy War. If you are looking for Utes news or scores, then visit our partners at CBS Sports. They are also a good source for the official Utah Utes team roster.
Utah Utes season tickets are available to buy until kickoff of their home opener. Check our listings above or call us if you would like to purchase Utah football season tickets. Let us know if you want a particular section at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
The Holy War with BYU is one of the most special rivalry games in all of college football. There are few instances of a single rivalry defining the sports climate in a state like BYU-Utah has for the State of Utah. It is so hard fought, and has such a great atmosphere that it is one of the can't miss games of every season.
The Ute Walk, which starts about 2 ½ hours before kickoff at Rice-Eccles Stadium is such a fun experience. Kids, men, women, they are all out there in force, wearing crimson and yearning for a chance to high-five their favorite Ute player or coach. It is loud, rambunctious, and a must do if you are in Salt Lake City.
