U.S. Men Exit to Egypt for Fifth Week of World League
B.J. Hoeptner Evans
Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: (719) 228-6800
E-Mail: email@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 1, 2010) – The U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team is in the land of the pyramids and Sphinx this weekend, but sightseeing is not the reason for this trip to Cairo, Egypt.
The United States is hoping for two more notches in the win column when it plays Egypt in two FIVB World League matches on July 2-3 (10 a.m. PT both days) in Cairo.
After four weekends of World League Intercontinental Round pool play, the United States is in second place in Pool C with a 5-3 record. Egypt is in fourth place at 1-7. Russia leads the pool with a perfect 8-0 record and will play in Finland on July 2-3.
Team USA defeated Egypt twice when they place on June 18-19 in Concord, N.C. The United States won the first match, 3-1 (25-19, 25-15, 14-25, 25-21). It took the second match, 3-1 (25-20, 25-22, 11-25, 25-14).
The following weekend (June 25-26) it lost a match to Finland on Friday, 3-2 (25-22, 14-25, 25-20, 19-25, 15-11) before defeating the Finns on Saturday, 3-1 (25-21, 18-25, 25-19, 25-23).
U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) would like to see his team get away from the mental lapses that seem to crop up in each match.
"We need to play each point and each set with the same intensity," Knipe said. "We need to do better with passing and serve receive."
Team USA is still without setter Donald Suxho (Korce, Albania), who had been playing well before hurting his calf during the first match against Egypt in North Carolina. It will also be without middle blocker Ryan Millar (Alpine, Utah) and outside hitter Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) who are staying in the United States for personal reasons.
Middle blocker Andy Hein (Carol Stream, Ill.) will make his 2010 World League debut with the team in Egypt.
Middle blocker David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) leads the U.S. team in scoring with 83 points on 42 kills, 34 blocks and seven aces. Lee's 34 blocks leads all World League players. His average is 1.03 per set.
Outside hitter Matt Anderson (West Seneca, N.Y.) is the second leading U.S. scorer with 77 points on 67 kills, for blocks and six aces.
Opposite Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawaii) is fifth among all servers with an average of 0.31 per set. Stanley missed the first two weekends of World League while recovering from his winter spent with the Russian club team Zenit Kazan.
Libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) is seventh among diggers with 61 for an average of 1.91 per set.
Egypt has been paced by Ahmed Abdelhay, who has 128 points on 110 kills, eight blocks and 10 aces. Abdel Latif Ahmed is its best blocker with an average of 0.69 per set. Abdalla Ahmed is its top server with 0.44 aces per set.
Team USA will play its final two World League pool play matches against Russia on July 9-10 in Wichita, Kan. (7 p.m. CT on Friday and 6 p.m. CT on Saturday). The U.S. Team is hoping that victories in these two matches can lead to a spot in the final round on July 21-25 in Argentina.

You'll never find "The Cadillac," on any critic'slist of top 10 "Seinfeld" episodes, but I don't care. "The Cadillac,"episode 124 in the Seinfeld oeuvre, IMHO (in my humble opinion, forthose who don't use Internet shorthand), is the real thing, among theshow's most authentically Jewish episodes, revealing theuncircumcised heart within a sitcom generally acknowledged to reflectonly callousness, narcissism and an urbane hipness in post-shtetlAmerica. And, in a small way, "The Cadillac" changed my life.
Here's the plot of the show that ran February 8,1996 as a 60-minute "Seinfeld" special.
Morty and Helen Seinfeld have been worrying foryears about their son's ability to earn a living as a stand-up comic.Morty, in particular, has suggested over time that Jerry enroll in abusiness internship program or go back to school. Anythingstable.
Now Jerry's nightclub act really is making it big,and to prove it, he buys his folks a Cadillac. Immediately, the giftbackfires. The car, enormous, obvious, and an egregious symbol ofAmerican success, makes Morty and Helen a spectacle among the formershmatte salesmen and other luftmenschen of their Florida condoproject where Morty is president.
None of Morty and Helen's neighbors believe thatJerry can afford to buy the car for his parents. Suspicions aboutMorty become so strong that he faces impeachment as condo president,and has to prove to his arch-rival Jack Klompus, that he himselfdidn't embezzle the money to buy the car. After endless complexity,the Cadillac is returned.
Why did this show make such an impact that myfriends and I were laughing about it weeks later? Just the words "TheCadillac," has become shorthand to us, indicating a host of familialjoys and tensions which until then had gone unarticulated.
Well, of course, it's because we're in "TheCadillac" stage of life too. For what are the 40s in the course of anadult life if not "payback time." The time of the commandment tobring honor to thy father and thy mother; when we show them who weare. The 40s are the time when parent-and-child stuff finally getssorted out, and the gifts of kindness, generosity and considerationbegin to flow the other way.
But in a way it's too late. As "The Cadillac"shows, reconciliation is not easy. Jerry's parents have stoppedwaiting for their payback; Helen and Morty have moved on and nowaccept Jerry as the limited, sarcastic being he has become. TheCadillac means less to them than the respect of their peers.
Moreover, what does it mean to have a son who canafford to buy you a Cadillac? It's a mixed blessing to be upstaged,diminished in your child's eyes. For many older "Seinfeld" watchers,writer Larry David is merely updating the wisdom of Lao Tsu: Bewarewhat you wish for, you may get it.
But how ironic it is that only now, when itmatters less to his folks, does Jerry want to please them. Theparents who have eternally been the butt of jokes for their boringstolidity now seem paragons of loyalty and islands of admiration. Atshow's end, Jerry is bewildered that he can't persuade Helen andMorty to keep the car. He shrugs, as if to say: see, no good deedgoes unpunished.
For most of "Seinfeld's" nine-year run, Jerry andhis buddy George (Jason Alexander) have slowly, painfully and withlimited success been working to see their parents as people, not asjudgmental tyrants. What's striking is the strength of that need;these hardened cynics, who can drop girlfriends and best-friendsbecause they don't like the way they answer the phone, still feel theumbilical chord strongly attached. In the midst of the "Seinfeld"universe, where people use, abuse and lie to each other without asecond's guilt, it's amazing to find an ongoing plot line concerningparents and adult children who try to turn things around.
Another of my favorite continuing story linesconcerns George's parents (played by Jerry Stiller and EstelleHarris), who are having marital troubles.
GEORGE: Oh my God! You know what I just realized?!If they get divorced an' live in two separate places? That's twice asmany visits!
JERRY: I never thought of that.
GEORGE: Imagine if I had to see them both on thesame day? [mirthless] Haha! It's like runnin' the doublemarathon!
ELAINE: Hey George, did you have any idea thatanything was wrong?
JERRY: Have you ever spent any time with thesepeople..?
George and Jerry never actually stopped judgingtheir parents. But sometime during this show's great run, it seems tome that I have.
So if I never buy my parents a "Cadillac," I have"Seinfeld" to thank for that.

Genoese medicine chest, c 1565.
© Science Museum / Science & Society Picture Library
Made for Vincenzo Giustiniani (d 1570), the last Genoese govenor of the island of Chios in the eastern aegean Sea. The chest still holds 126 bottles and pots for drugs, some of which appear to have the 16th century contents. The painting on the inside of the lid is from a later date. On a box from the middle drawer is painted the device of Chios; a black eagle above a three towered castle. The chest was owned by the Giustiniani family until bought by Henry Wellcome in 1924.

Secretary Clinton began a seven-nation trip to Africa at the 8th U.S. – Sub-Saharan Africa Trade and Economic Cooperation Forum (known as the AGOA Forum) in Nairobi, Kenya. While in Kenya, Secretary Clinton discussed new approaches to development, including an emphasis on investment and broad-based economic growth.
During the visit to Kenya, the Secretary delivered a speech at the Ministerial Opening Ceremony for the AGOA Forum, participated in bilateral meetings with Kenya's senior leaders, discussed global hunger and agricultural issues at a major research institute, and engaged with Kenyan citizens. She also met with Sheikh Sharif Amed, the President of Somalia's Transitional Federal Government.
The Secretary continues her travel with stops in South Africa, Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria, Liberia, and Cape Verde.

Not a question/a comment:
Dear Hillary,
I think the world knew, in 1995, how much courage it took and you displayed by digging in your heels and making the statements you made in Beijing. I wonder how many know what kind of courage you showed in Kenya speaking of tribunals in the presence of the very perpetrators of the post-election violence and murders there last year. I was seriously worried for your safety. Your fortitude is an inspiration.
To me, what you did is as brave as putting yourself in the line of weapons fire. I will blog and tweet about this. The American people deserve to know about the fabric their Secretary of State is made of. You are a patriot and a soldier for justice, here in our country, and around the world.
We, who check in here at the State Department sites know of your dedication, strength, and perseverance on the part of the disenfranchised and subjugated all over the world. Some of us have dedicated ourselves to spreading that word while the mainstream media lags far behind.
We've still got your back, Hillary. We are loyal and faithful. You have never abandoned us, and I, for one, will always be loyal to you.
May God and the angels always watch over you and keep you safe.
Most truly yours,
New Jersey

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (85 votes).
In short: Many thanks - well, organised, well marshalled, fast and enjoyableDate of review: December 7, 2009
In short: Flat course, plenty of puddles, well organised, nice finishIn full: Not the most scenic route, but a competent well-organised run finishing with a lap round the athletics track. Well organised, but not sure if there were enough lockers to go round, goody bag was nothing great (I'm not a fan of them anyway). Large amounts of rain before the race resulted in a very small change to the route, and plenty of puddles along the way, but no real problems. Thanks to all concerned at ESM.Date of review: December 7, 2009
In short: Very well organised fast raceIn full: Plenty of toilets, parking is no problem, friendly atmosphere and nice warm clubhouse to get changed. Was surprised how fast the pace was as I prefer long distance but as someone else said, it's really good to run with a faster group and I managed to knock off 3.5mins of last year's time! This is in my yearly race calender. Well done Ealing. Date of review: December 7, 2009
In short: Flat and fast 5 miler with Olympics style track finish.In full: Nothing really stands out about the race. It was wet and slippery going around many of the tight corners. I saw one runner go down ahead of me. It is very flat and with a bit drier conditions, you could push harder. Date of review: December 7, 2009
In short: I enjoyed this one. Will look to come back next year.In full: Good marshalling and well organised. It was a nice day for a run and the atmosphere was good too.Date of review: December 6, 2009
In short: Charming local raceIn full: What can I say? even the weather decided to smile on this race. The organisation was smooth and friendly, the course was pleasant and the marshalls were really friendly and supportive.Date of review: December 6, 2009
In short: Well Organised friendly raceIn full: Very well organised race, plenty of marshalls who were all very friendly. Good start and finish on the track was also good. I would certainly do this race again. Very well done all round.Date of review: December 6, 2009
In short: Good value for money! In full: My first time running in this event and for the entry fee there really aren't any complaints for me to find. Getting changed in the club house, warm up on the track itself, Start the race and run on the pavements sharing the road areas with a few cars but its still well marshalled who shout encouragement to all runners not just their running club members. All mile markers matched my garmin (ok i went seven seconds into a mile 6?) but more accurate than other races i've entered?The heavy rain today meant there were alot of big puddles that at times turned this road race into a steeple chase but you can't hold the organisers responsible for this? If you want a short and quick blast of the legs you cant go too wrong here whatever your running standard.Date of review: December 6, 2009
In short: good morning PerivaleIn full: It was good to go back to an area that I once knew well...good event - it was my first 'short' race - a lot 'clubbier' than my previous experiences with halves and marathons...but this got me moving a little quicker than usual - to run with a quicker group improves you...well done Ealing - very well organised - did we actually start early?? Date of review: December 11, 2008
In short: Not a scenic course but very fastIn full: Moaned to myself as I went through the first mile. Typical I thought, the first marker is in the wrong place. By the time I'd reached the running track finish, I'd shut up. Could all the markers be in the wrong place, or had I just taken 30 secs off my PB?Whatever the answer, I'm keeping tight lipped. Might sneek back next year for this one.Date of review: December 9, 2008

The great gun-rights divide
A liberal gun owner finds 'gun nuts' on both sides of the debate.
Everyone in America would like to reduce gun violence. We simply differ on how to achieve that: Put more guns in the hands of "good guys" or increase gun control? We also differ on whether the goal is worth restricting civil liberties, and on what the U.S. Constitution says about guns. Which is not to say we discuss these differences sensibly. After every mass shooting, a "pro-gun" person is shoved under the studio lights with an "anti-gun" person, and they're urged to tear each other apart on camera. It's what we have for gladiatorial entertainment, now that we've banned dog fighting.
I had a notion a few years ago that I could help bridge the gun divide by writing a book. I am one of the not-so-rare but frequently ignored liberal gun nuts – a third-generation, lifelong tax-and-spend Democrat who believes in national health care, strong environmental protection, reproductive freedom, unions, permissive immigration laws, stiff financial regulation ... and guns. I like to collect guns, shoot them, hunt with them, read about them. As a New York Jew who, decades ago, chose to live in the West – first Alaska, then Montana, and now Boulder, Colorado – I also straddle the great demographic divide.
For my research, I drove around the country and asked gun owners how and why firearms are important to them. To help establish my credentials, I went through the process of getting a Colorado concealed-carry license, valid in 30 states. Nothing says "gun guy" like a loaded handgun. I wore my concealed pistol everywhere, and it helped: I enjoyed remarkably candid interviews with gun owners of all kinds. Along the way, I found myself shooting a tommy gun at a stick of dynamite in the Arizona desert and gunning down a dozen wild pigs in Texas. At a Nebraska gun show and elsewhere, I was struck by a seething anger that seemed to be based on class resentment against the wealthier urban coasts picking on the poorer rural Interior, which might explain why the temperature of the gun debate has risen during the current recession.
The result was Gun Guys: A Road Trip, published in March 2013, intended as apolitical, non-polemical cultural anthropology, played sometimes for laughs. The book's timing was unfortunate, because the whole country was understandably distraught over the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, and hardly anyone was in the mood for nuanced discussion. Those who supported stricter controls on gun ownership, including the president I'd twice worked hard to elect, were in a lather to enact a ban on "assault rifles" – a poorly understood term, in and of itself – and the NRA was bellowing, in its typically belligerent tone-deaf way, that what America needed was more guns in schools. The interview bookers for radio and TV "news" shows were delighted to find someone other than the usual suspects to thrust before the microphones.
There's something oxymoronic about using media as impatient as TV and radio to publicize a book that took 18 months to write. I started out on local AM airwaves, waking before dawn in my Rocky Mountain Time Zone to call one station after another during the listeners' rush-hour drive-time in places as far-flung as Buffalo and Lubbock. Most interviewers wanted only to know, in our 90 seconds together, whether I was antipasto or provolone: Assault-rifle ban – for or against? Background checks – for or against? Gun magazine-size limits – for or against? Sorry, that's all the time we have; now, on to weather and traffic. As for the call-in shows, something about the anonymity of a phone line brings out the rabid on all sides.
Then I got invited onto the national stage, as a guest on Piers Morgan, a prime-time CNN show. Morgan, a former London tabloid editor lacking any discernible experience with either guns or gun owners, was crusading for an assault-rifle ban and other gun restrictions. His show sent a long black car to ferry me to a Denver TV studio, where I was powdered, wired for sound, and, this being a "remote" interview, stashed before a camera and a hot light in an otherwise dark room; it was like a police grilling in a gangster picture. Up came the music in my earpiece, and then Morgan's nasal voice, introducing me and, to my surprise, the celebrity flaming-liberal lawyer, Alan Dershowitz. I'd made the rookie mistake of not asking who the other guests would be. Dershowitz took off, shrieking into my earpiece, "Guns are destroying America! Guns are destroying America!" He continued without inhaling – and Morgan cheering him on – throughout our entire four-minute segment. As I stared into the camera's robotic eye, I considered my options. Shout Dershowitz and Morgan down or stick to the high road, as I'd intended, and await my turn? I did the latter –– my second mistake. I barely got in a word about my mission to sow a new understanding of guns in the U.S.
But the violence that is so upsetting to urban and suburban people is mostly by the same not-shrinking group of mentally challenged and/or angry young men. Are you suggesting that occasional but regular murders in schools, shopping centers, and on the streets is acceptable? We should let state gun laws get so relaxed that we can't go anywhere without wondering who's carrying?
Your personal position is fine by me (I don't care if everyone in rural areas has guns--they aren't the problem), but I don't see any proposed solutions here. What's your solution to keep guns out of young nuts and gangbangers' hands without upsetting the rural geezers?
If you've got something to say about how we can address gun violence and gun rights, please tell us.
The author is unusual in that he's a liberal gun nut and has his foot in what are normally two opposing camps. He's not unusual in his ability to see the problem.
Recommend a solution that works for you, Mr. Unusual Liberal Gun Nut.
mine but but my cop late husband said they don't prevent crime but just clean up the messes...
Just call me a gun toting grandma.
A wildlfie biologist who has worked in grizzly habitat for 40 years.
My manhood/masculinity, self-worth, ego and self worth are not enchanced by guns. I think this guy is sad and pathetic.
I will be quoting you to both my illogical, emotional, hoplophobic friends, and to my conservative friends who support those who greedily off-shore jobs while perpetuating tax inequality and growth of the military industrial complex.
And Cort Felts, the NRA isn't about preserving habitat or African crime reduction, and frankly, Chinese & Russia are the main nations focused on arms export to Africa, so your arguments about that, frankly aren't topical here.
As someone who has carried a gun, I've done so with the intent to preserve life. I've used it twice to do just that, and my possession of a firearm each time has prevented the escalation of violence. I wouldn't call you a clown, just a hateful asshole whose blanket insults attempt to assign attributes such as having 'manhood issues' based on the one thing you hate: gun ownership. (and so what if you were a hunting guide, you're still an asshole)

Driver in moose crash identified
MARQUETTE – One of the drivers involved in the moose versus vehicle crash has been identified, reported the Marquette County Sheriff's Office.
The driver of that vehicle notified the sheriff's office at approximately 8:30 a.m. today.
The driver of the previously unknown vehicle acknowledged involved in the crash, which happened at about 6:15 p.m. Wednesday on M-95, approximately five miles south of U.S. 41 in Humboldt Township.
The crash remains under investigation by the sheriff's office.
Moose killed in crash
MARQUETTE – The Marquette County Sheriff's Office is investigating two vehicles that struck a cow moose on M-95 five miles south of U.S. 41 at 6:15 p.m. (Eastern time) Wednesday in Humboldt Township.
The first vehicle fled the scene and the driver of the second vehicle was injured, officials said.
The first vehicle was traveling north and struck a moose in the northbound lane. The driver is described as in his late 50s to early 60s with short, clean-cut grey hair standing approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall.
He was traveling with a female passenger.
The vehicle fled the scene shortly after the crash, and alcohol is believed to be involved.
Witnesses described the vehicle as a newer, dark SUV, similar to a Ford Escape. There was damage to the passenger side front end.
The second vehicle, a Toyota Camry, was traveling north behind the first and also struck the moose as it was still standing in the roadway.
The driver, a 63-year-old Munising woman, complained of head, neck and back pain from the crash. She was wearing her seatbelt and the airbags did not deploy.
Bell Memorial EMS transported her to Bell Memorial Hospital in Ishpeming for evaluation.
Assisting at the scene were Republic Township Fire/First Responders and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
The female moose was killed as a result of the crashes and was brought to the Ishpeming DNR office.
Anyone having additional information on the first vehicle involved in the crash is asked to contact the Marquette County Sheriff's Office at (906) 225-8435.

In most ways, right now at least, you can't. We're too closed. It's like I said in my first blog post,
IT is generally closed. Mozilla is not. There's a incredible disconnect there. How do we leverage the expertise of the Community in running some of the busiest websites in the world?
In my travels over the past year I've met a number of passionate volunteers with IT skills who are looking for different ways to volunteer and contribute to Mozilla. In the past two months, that list has exploded.
I've talked about ways Mozilla IT is trying to help the community, how we are trying to be your IT (we're still talking about it too!).
I've talked about how we want to reboot Air Mozilla, how we want to open video and make it possible for more people to tell the Mozilla story in video.
But Mozilla IT is still closed.
Help me change it?
I want to illustrate what we want to do.
The best way to do that is to share a little open video and popcorn.js, with some help from Popcorn Maker. (This is what happens when you go to a Mozilla Festival. See how great the open web is?)Watch this to see how we want to pivot to open.
Good question. I think I need your help to figure this out. It's going to feel weird and uncomfortable for us. Of all the steps we set out to do nearly two months ago, this has been the most challenging. There are so many processes to work out.
- What sort of agreement should volunteer Mozilla IT sign? A code of conduct? There are some parts of the infrastructure that must remain secure and secret even as we strive to be open.
- How do we build the trust necessary to give someone root access?
- How do we on-board new Mozilla IT volunteers? Does everyone get root access on day one? Is there some graduated process? What is it?
- Do we host onsite (or remote) training events to teach you about our tools and processes?
Today, as a code contributor, we ask you to sign a Committer's Agreement. It's a simple document that shows you understand what it means to contribute code to Mozilla and understand our legal requirements.
As part of Mozilla IT, you'll have access to some pretty mission critical systems. I invite you to take a look at the Mozilla IT Agreement and share your feedback with us. It's meant to be a lightweight agreement similar to the Committer's Agreement.
Want to get involved?
We're doing a lot of this thinking out in the open at https://wiki.mozilla.org/IT/CommunitySysadmin and I invite you to join and participate –
- Read the Mozilla IT Agreement.
- Read Dustin's blog post and how we're trying to identify bugs you can start working on.
- Join the Mozilla Community Directory @ https://mozillians.org/ (Read this blog post if you forgot why it's important!).
- Join the conversation on the Community IT mailing list. Help us answer these questions.
- Join the IRC channel, irc://irc.mozilla.org/it
- Actually get involved. Do IT. We have a number of positions we're looking for you to help in:
Preparing for 2012
I want to reiterate two of my goals I mentioned in my first post nearly two months ago.
My own personal goals by the end of 2012 are:
- to have 5-10 volunteer Community Sysadmins actively helping run Mozilla's network and servers.
- to have a vibrant Community IT group…
I made the comment that it felt like the most ambitious thing we've done. It probably still is but in two months we've shifted our way of thinking, took Air Mozilla Mobile on the road and have a long list of things you need from us.
2012 will be fun.

Josephine County Firefighters Getting Out School Zone Safety Message
Firefighters from the Rural/Metro Fire District are out in force this week to remind motorists to be careful in school zones. Rural/Metro"\ is posting fire engines all week near school zones with a banner attached to remind everyone to slow down and be alert.
Spokesman Mike Shaw says this is another way for his fire department to serve the community, and he reminds everyone that the school zone speed is 20 miles per hour. For Merlin residents, there's an additional reminder that there's a section of Monument Drive that extends from the Merlin Road and Monument Drive intersection out past North Valley High School where the speed limit is 45 miles per hour.

Helping those who help
HANCOCK – Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly provides several services for elderly residents of the Copper Country, including meals, transportation and simple company, but it takes money to do those things.
Mike Aten, LBFE director, said people can donate money to the organization either monthly, quarterly, annually or through the Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly Foundation, which began in 1990, but hasn't been publicized well until now.
"We're trying to build that," he said.
Aten said he's sending out letters to regular donors to let them know about the foundation in order to strengthen it.
"The foundation was developed to secure the future of Little Brothers (Friends of the Elderly)," he said.
Money from the foundation wasn't touched during the Great Recession of 2008, 2009 and 2010, Aten said.
Money from the monthly donors goes to the operation of the LBFE programs, Aten said. Donors can have the money taken from their checking accounts, credit cards or they can give cash. Monthly donors get a letter informing them of the most recent LBFE efforts.
It's also possible to donate to LBFE through wills and bequests, Aten said.
"It's our policy that goes to the foundation," he said.
Aten said all donations LBFE receive are important.
"Our (annual) budget's about $500,000," he said.
That annual budget recently increased from $375,000 because of an expansion of the organization's services into Baraga and Ontonagon counties, Aten said.
Besides the monetary donations, Aten said LBFE receives about $70,000 in in-kind donations, including automobiles and fire wood for their program to supply wood to people who have wood-burning stoves or furnaces.
Aten said LBFE conducts various fundraisers throughout the year, including a Friendship Raffle taking place now with a possible grand prize of $30,000, a sweepstakes for a Ford Mustang and their Tootsie Pop sales to help with the fire wood program.
People also donate cars, trucks, motorcycles and boats to LBFE, Aten said. Some of the cars and trucks are used for LBFE programs, and the rest are sold for revenue.
There is also an account at the Keweenaw Community Foundation for LBFE, Aten said.
Donors can specify for which programs they would like their donations to go, Aten said.
People can donate to LBFE in someone else's name with a memorial, also, Aten said.
"Those are real important," he said.
To learn more about donating to Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly, cal Mike Aten at 482-6944.

Ma ma. Da da. Hashtag. On the first words spoken on Twitter
My first word, spoken sometime in 1971, was "shoe," or so my mother tells me. Xerox Corp.'s official Twitter account uttered its first words on Sept. 26, 2008, and what it had to say was a lot more elaborate: "Finally got the logo to fit within new brand guidelines. Hello twitter world!" Meanwhile Eastman Kodak Co.'s @Kodak Twitter account's first words came on April 10, 2010: "thanks for the great feedback kelly! happy to help," in response to a Tweet from a Kodak Gallery user raving about its customer service.
Twitter unveiled a fascinating time machine with a search function that lets users easily find the first tweets of anyone on Twitter. And some companies with a presence on Twitter dove headfirst into that bay of the social media ocean. @Paychex on Jan. 11, 2010, greeted the world with a "Hello Twitterverse! Very excited to officially launch @Paychex Twitter! Stay tuned for helpful resources for your business." Harris RF Communications on Aug. 19, 2011, was all flag plant-y with its "Harris RF is on the air! @HarrisDelivers"
And you can almost see the "aww-shucks" earnestness of Frontier Corp. with its @FTR_Northeast inaugural tweet on Sept. 28, 2011: "So glad to be on #Twitter to connect with @FrontierCorp customers in the Northeast Region, both NY and PA. Let us know how we can help!" Ditto for Carestream Health with its Sept. 18, 2009, "Hello world. Happy to join twitter and looking forward to our conversations!"
Wegmans Food Markets almost seems like the freshman who somehow snuck into the seniors' party with its Aug. 26, 2009, "Wow! The first official Wegmans tweet!"
And here at the paragraph factory, @DandC's first foray into Twitter came on Dec. 7, 2008, with "Buffalo Bills Report Card: Staff writer Sal Maiorana gives the Bills their grades in a 16-3 loss to the Mia.. " followed by a link. C'mon, people, keep it within 140 characters.

This "fun park" chucke-cheese esque place but with go-karts and golf officially opened a paintball field. It is only one field on 1.5 acres with no shop either. This place always changes the attraction to other things on this perticular part of the park. I personally do NOT want to have to walk into an arcade with my paintball stuff. I do wish them luck though

I live near there and I was wondering.... Paintball Charleston is going to be hard to beat. Those guys have been doing it forever and they know what they are doing. It's not really the same thing as a real field, but man if they are paying the insurance I wonder what their rules/refs are like?

Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
My order from Butiki teas..including MY TEA! MY TEA! and my swap from Charoma! Oh happy exciting note to end the crappy day on! :)
Yay! :)
Got my Teavivre order with my peach jasmine pearls, unbridled love fruit tea and a bunch of samples. It took a long time but when I got it, the box was all wrapped up with Canadian customs tape- that's why it took forever. Not only did customs open the box, they opened one of the teas. They opened the outer foil package and also cut open the inner foil package that contained the tea, then taped it shut. Never had that before.
when did you order yours lala? Wondering if this happened with my order too seems to be taking ever so much longer than the lsat time i ordered from them
I picked it up today at post office, but they tried to deliver it yesterday when I wasn't home. Ordered July 25/13
They opened one of the actual tea packages? How rude. I've never had that either. I've had boxes opened by customs, but not actual tea packages.
Yes the actual tea package! I am kind of concerned they went to the bathroom, didn't wash their hands, touched every one of the pearls, coughed on them, then sealed the bag with tape. I'm still gonna drink it though. Ha ha. Never had customs go that far either. I have always just had them open the box, then seal it back up. Teavivre labels and packages things very well so not sure what was so concerning about the peach jasmine pearls.
I got an order from Adagio, some tea tins and a bunch of different samples. It got here so quickly that I think they were hiding in the bushes outside my house and delivered it as soon as I hit "submit" on the online order.
Got my Verdant order today with lots of goodies from Laoshan! :D
yay! finally!!
My 52 tea order came this morning! Tea of the month and pink lemonade ice tea:)
I also got a care package from my mom today. It came straight from Germany with all of my favorite German yummies:):)
Got my serious haul of Ceylon Star from DavidsTea in the mail today. 8.8oz! That's right! Boo yah!!! Filled up the two cute purple tins I bought with it, as well as the tin I already had! Guess I won't need to worry about running out anytime soon! I also got my second elephant mug. :) It was pretty awesome that it came in 4 days. Last time I made an order, it was almost 2 weeks! Nice timing this time…I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend!
The Della Terra order came. Mmm… Mojito tea.
And I also got a couple swaps from Canada.
My samples from Courtney yay lime jello and soho!!!
Della Terra order! Woooot! The Apricot Carousel is getting put away for now until I get through the ounce I have open. Now to decide which try-me tea to make tonight.
STEEP CITY TEAS!!!! My order arrived, so pumped!
Though, my box arrived pretty banged up. http://wp.me/a3NHpm-E1 WTH USPS, first steal pomegranates off my tree and now abuse my tea?
Citrus Sunrise Oolong, Purple Peach White, Orange Glam, Choco Honeyberry, Nutty Love, Flirt With Me, annnnd Blushing Geisha!

Holy cow! That poor box looks like it was dropped off a cliff a few times. Lol.
They beat a box up on me this week breaking 2 of the 4 cups I got in an Ebay auction.
Yikes! Your poor tea. Was it the same driver?
As far as I can see, my tea is fine. No dings on the tin, though the white tea might been crunched. They did put packing fluff, but that only does so much against crazy USPS. Should see my mail slot, the metal is bent on the inside from them jamming too big of boxes through.

Even though Nokia Corp. does not officially claim that it would hardly use MeeGo operating system after it decided to make Windows Phone its primary OS for mobile phones on Friday, a number of things clearly show that MeeGo will not be important for Nokia. Nonetheless, the project may not be dead, as Intel Corp. will continue to develop it.
On Friday Alberto Torres, the man who headed the development of MeeGo and MeeGo-based products from Nokia, stepped down from the management team "to pursue other interests outside the company". Under Nokia's new strategy, MeeGo becomes an open-source, mobile operating system project and will place increased emphasis on longer-term market exploration of next-generation devices, platforms and user experiences.
Nokia still plans to ship a MeeGo-related product later this year, but that product will likely be a tablet, not a phone, and given competition from Android, Blackberry QNX, iOS, webOS and other platforms, it will hardly be competitive enough to attract interest of developers and end-users.
But while for Nokia MeeGo loses its importance and priority, for Intel the platform seems to be a way to the market of tablets and smartphones.
"Intel remains committed and welcome Nokia's continued contribution to MeeGo open source. It is not going away. Service providers and device manufacturers want choice when it comes to OS. MeeGo offers a compelling alternative and we remain confident and committed to MeeGo as the right approach for the multi-device ecosystem. MeeGo is not just a phone OS, it supports multiple devices. It is already shipping and we're seeing early momentum across multiple segments today, including automotive systems, netbooks, tablets, and set-top boxes," said Suzy Ramirez, a spokeswomen for Intel.
On Monday Intel demonstrated a MeeGo-powered tablet PC and demonstrated the so-called MeeGo tablet user experience (UX). According to the company, it features an intuitive object-oriented interface with panels displaying content and contacts – all geared to give consumers fingertip access to their digital lives with easy access to social networks, people, videos and photos.
In addition, Intel noted that Genivi, an auto industry consortium, approved MeeGo as operating system foundation of choice for all in-vehicle infotainment systems. Lenovo, iRU, DNS and 3Q netbooks featuring MeeGo are available in Russia. Red Flag/Hawtai and Red Flag/Geely car IVI systems are sold with a MeeGo-based operating system from Red Flag. Furthermore, 4TiiToo's WeTab tablet devices are available in Germany and The Netherlands and CZC tablets are sold in China. The Amino Freedom set-top box and Telecom Italia Cubovision set-top box also run MeeGo-based operating systems. Most recently at CES, Amino announced the Freedom Jump over-the-top box featuring a MeeGo operating system.

If you know Kylie Minogue, then you know that she takes her accessories, especially her shoes, very seriously. At barely five feet tall, the globally megafamous pop star likes to get an extra lift from high heels, no matter what the occasion. Not only that, but her lifelong penchant for heels has made her shoe choices a bit more adventurous than your average star - she's not Lady Gaga levels of crazy, but she does like to make a strong shoe statement.
In these photos, Minogue is sporting Christian Louboutin Calf Hair Booties, which is a fairly conservative shoe look for her, believe it or not. What's not conservative, on the other hand, is Kylie's Christian Louboutin Farida Messenger Bag - the colorblocked red, pink and tan panels with bold black accents stand out strongly against an all-black ensemble. We think this is one of Louboutin's best bags to date - what do you think? Check out more images after the jump or pick up your own Louboutin Farida bag via Neiman Marcus for $1595.

Skip to comments.A flag and 15 yards for a slur
Posted on 03/02/2014 7:23:10 AM PST by NKP_Vet
Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Or so we once thought.
America's schoolyards were tough places to play in the old days, where kids settled their arguments with skinned knuckles, bloody noses and a minimum of grown-up interference. But that was when the well-prepared scholar arrived for the first day of school with a Big Chief tablet, a clutch of Eberhard Faber No. 2 pencils, a bag lunch (if he could avoid the lunchroom), and an apple for the teacher. Now it's against the law to bribe a teacher, an iPad mini has replaced the Big Chief and most important of all, every kid needs his lawyer.
(Excerpt) Read more at gopusa.com ...
I really want to know if the black players will also be subject to this rule.
Did he even order the flag fly at half-staff when Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed?
I would think not because when they say it it will not be "hate speech."
This might actually lead to making the games a bit more exciting.
There are lots of things that the players can say to each other to intimidate, threaten, or confuse their opponents without stooping to profanity.
Whites are a minority in the NFL.
Yeah, watching teams go backwards because someone said a naughty word would be so exciting I'd stop watching on Day One.
Whites are a minority in pro sports other than hockey and golf....
Don't they already have "unsportsmanlike conduct"?
Blacks dominate all professional sports except hockey and golf, in spite of compromising just 15% of the US population. But Jimmy the Greek gets fired for stating the obvious.
"forty-three, ninety-two, ni***r, ni***r, ni***r, hike, hike, hike"
I officiated high school and college basketball for a good many years. It was always a technical foul for this behavior. Quite frankly, I don't see what the problem is.
Since the concussion argument wasn't stopping football , this surely will. It's over folks. Sissify those macho dudes into something that won't even resemble football, yuck!
Seems like ever since Baraq came on the scene, the national discussion is constantly about race. Everything is about race.
So what will happen if one player calls his opponent an 'uneducated African-American'?
MiG-15, NATO code name--Faggot
The MIG-15 was code-named "Fagot", not "Faggot". According to militaryfactory.com and Merriam-Webster, the dictionary meaning is "a bundle of sticks".
Faggot and Fascist come from the same Latin root word for a dry bundle of sticks...I say you just call them Fascist..it started as the same thing and has become the same thing
This latest proposed edict of Roger Goodell is just another glaring example of the FACT that he needs to be fired as commissioner of the NFL.
Roger Goodell is ruining the Great American Sport and needs to go.
On paper, they will.
In practice, we'll see which lily white linesman or referee has the stones to toss the flag when a Charles Woodson or Terrell Suggs utters the super nasty no-no word. I won't hold my breath.
"Faggot" means the same thing as "fagot," but it seems to be the preferred spelling in America.
Eberhard Faber? Dixon Ticonderoga or die!
It doesn't, in the context in which the plane was named. The NATO nomenclature was "F" for role as a fighter and two syllables for a jet aircraft.
From everything I have read on the subject, the name "Fagot" for the MIG-15 has nothing to do with homosexuality, and I have never seen the plane referred to with two "g"s in its code name.
But frankly, there are plenty of other ways we can tweak the left.
When are we going to do something about quarterbacks making unapproved references to Nebraska cities? It always happens just before an interception. Now that's the REALLY offensive language.
"Everything is about race."
...and those evil Burly Men...
They must be stopped if a true Progressive America is to emerge.
"Seems like ever since Baraq came on the scene, the national discussion is constantly about race. Everything is about race".
And it's always the "first black president". Criticize anything about him and you're a racist. What I want to know is why is he called, 1000 times a day on TV, the "first black president". If his race is going to be mentioned (and I don't know why it should be), why is he never called what he is, the nation's first "bi-racial" president, or "mullato" president.
When this empty-suited Marxist was running for president he constantly talked about his WHITE mother and his WHITE grandparents. He didn't want to be referred to as a black man because he said he was bi-racial (which he certainly is).
The minute this lying race-baiter becomes president it's black this and black that, and you're a racist if you criticize him in any way, shape or form. His white mother and white grandparents were thrown under the bus the minute he said his oath of office.
If this nothing was not completely destroying the country as the US president, he would be teaming up with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to stir up racial trouble all over the country. Anyone ever saw all the pictures of all the blondes this arrogant creep ran around with him when he lived in Hawaii. Back then he was "white". He never talked to a black woman till he married his current wife, and that was for obvious reasons. He wanted to play the race card as the way to get into politics and needed a black wife. The nation's first bi-racial (not black) president makes me sick to my stomach and has destroyed the country that thousands fought and died for all over the world. It will never be the same.
MLB isn't dominated by black athletes like NBA or NFL. There are less US blacks playing pro baseball now than in the 70s.
Replaced by black hispanics, who grew up playing baseball 12 months out of the year.
Someday, they'll write a book about the three schmucks that ruined sports-Selig,Stern and Goodell!
Most Hispanics playing aren't black, they are Latino.
In any case, in 2012 the MLB was 63.9% white. That's up from the all time low of 60.3% in 2004. In 2013 the NFL was 29.26% white. In 2012, 78% of all professional basketball players were US blacks.
"Most Hispanics playing arent black, they are Latino"
You have black hispanics and you have black latinos. You have white hispanics and white latinos. I consider them one in the same. The vast majority of latino/hispanic baseball players are of black ancestry. So that means one thing, even in Latin American countries the blacks are better at sports than the population of European ancestry. You can also watch the Summer Olympics. All sprint races are dominated by black athletes. All endurance races, once dominated by white athletes, are now dominated by black Africans. All sports that require jumping and running are dominated by black athletes. Weight lifting, I think, is probably still mostly of European stock.
Look, if the MLB is 60+% white then blacks aren't dominating that sport no matter how you want to define them. Not because of any lack of talent, skill, smarts, or athletic ability, but because the nature of the baseball skill set generally allows more competition from whites, Asians and non black hispanolatinoblackwhite whatevers. The NBA and NFL skill set and physical requirements generally allows less competition from those others, usually on a purely physical level. Also, the skill set for baseball at the major league level usually requires very frequent repetition at a very young age, usually from fathers.
I never meant to say that MLB was dominated by black athletes. But the vast majority of the black players in baseball are hispanic/latino. I agree with you about the skill set in baseball allowing for more white players. Not so much in basketball and football, where its who can run the fastest and jump the highest. And, let's not forget that black kids grow up idolizing ball players instead of their fathers. They all think they can make it to the NBA. And I think I read somewhere where you have a better chance of walking on the moon than you do making the NBA.
"Ranger Right! Blue 68! Alert! 72 is the Mike.... Homo, hah! Homo, hah!! Hut hut hut!!!"
"Wait... there's a flag on the play..."
"Taunting... Number 18... fifteen yards... remains... first down..."
I think part of the reason that so many bullpens are full of tall athletic white lanky kids throwing 95+ in recent years is that they have started choosing baseball instead of trying to compete with tall athletic black lanky guys at younger and younger ages in basketball.
You are right about the physical requirements in football and basketball. The great equalizer in baseball is hitting a round ball fair with a round bat, especially when it's 90+ and your timing is messed up with slower breaking balls and change ups. If you can do that, some of the other more physical skills that might be lacking don't matter as much.
Imagine the fines and other penalties an announcer could incur if he were to mispeak the words "a flag on the play" over live television...not to mention the death threats..
We have become a nation of whiney, perpetually offended, sissies.
Probably the greatest hitter of all time Ted Williams said hitting a baseball was the hardest thing there is to do in sports. He would be asked how he was so good at it and he would say he practiced all the time and still missed more than 60% of the pitches.
Yup, baseball is a game of failure, at least for hitting. You are doing really good if you manage to do it 3 times out of 10, in the modern era only a handful have even approached 4 out of 10, with one surpassing it. No one has ever done it half the time.
Is it any wonder that we rasiss white folk enjoy the winter Olympics so much? Curling and women's biathlon are 2 of the favorites of this creepy - ass cracker... oops, I just got a penalty I think.

I know there's a million TGY threads now, but this is a little more particular (hopefully).
I am almost done with my bag of Classic Roast TGY from The Tea Gallery. It is really really good, once I got a scale and realized I was using far too much tea. It went from being overly burnt coffee taste to a nicely rounded caramelized floral tasting tea.
My question is: Should I buy more? Or are there other roasted TGY from another company that people are in love with? Also, The Tea Gallery has an Espresso Roast TGY that seems to be a little lighter that may also be good.
I'll probably end up with more anyway, but I'm curious to see if anyone else has any favorites. I know the trend now is to have the lighter, more delicate un-roasted oolongs, but those don't appeal to me as much, especially this time of year.
Thanks all you tea nerds!

Skip to comments.Team Arpaio: New Evidence Will Convince Greatest Skeptic Document Is 100% Forgery
Posted on 01/27/2013 7:25:19 AM PST by Seizethecarp
Sheriff Joe Arpaio's lead Obama investigator Mike Zullo appeared on Carl Gallups' radio show Freedom Friday. Zullo repeated that the Obama investigation never stopped and that the only thing that stopped is the media coverage around the investigation....
Zullo says; "We are so convinced... let me go out on limb... I am going to put my reputation out there that we have evidence beyond a reasonable doubt--the higher standard--beyond a reasonable doubt that this document is an utter forgery."
Zullo also says; "the evidence we have acquired, new found evidence that we have never made public at any point in time, and we are not going to make public until we have the right opportunity, will convince even the greatest skeptic that this document is 100% a forgery."
HUGH and SERIES!!!
This claim that the new previously unknown evidence "will convince even the greatest skeptic" seriously underestimates the ruling Obamunist elite's sociopathic investment in protecting Barry.
Maybe if Zullo as a video confession from the person who actually created the White House BC forgery...maybe that would do it, but short of that, I expect a vicious partisan assault on Team Arpaio and their evidence.
But they need to stop talking and they need to start showing.
I'm tired of hearing about stuff that will be utterly mind-blowing. It so rarely turns out to be much of anything.
It's too friggin' late.
The bastid's in and even if he killed someone on the front lawn .. no one would DO anything.
It's all over Joe ... unless you have a plan to walk into the White House with a million camera's and handcuffs.
If this evidence is as strong as Zullo claims, the tactic that "we are not going to make public until we have the right opportunity" begs the question as to what venue remains for Zullo and Arpaio to go to. The courts have erected a firewall as has Congress and no AZ state prosecutor has responded to Arpaio's clear evidence of forgery so far.
The GOP-e is committed to running non-NBC candidates so no cooperation can be expected there.
The Boy Who Cried Wolf comes to mind with the series of claims of evidence that proves forgery and yet the MSM blanket of suppression continues especially at FOX. Arpaio still comes on FOX but is muzzled on the BC forgery evidence.
Try convincing ABC CBS NBC CNN MSNBC LA TIMES NY TIMES NEWSWEEK TIME ETC ETC ETC.
Has Zullo ever discussed the significance, if any, of having "Date Accepted" on Obama's OLFBC and "Date Filed" on his COLB?
we are not going to make public until we have the right opportunity
I would think that "before" the election primary would be the best. and even right before the general election.
Arpaio ping...
...or not...
Yes, Sheriff Joe's Posse needs to have their huge bowel movement, or get off the commode.
A ping??? Why would anyone venture a post on a thread where the exercise is to ridicule those who believe there is a criminal in the White Hut?
No, they are not making a mockery of conservatives. They are simply doing the work that the bogus mainstream media should have done. Everything about Obama is false, and it will never be too late to prove it. Whenever the truth comes out, Obama, his minions, and his ideas will be severely damaged.
"It's all over Joe ... unless you have a plan to walk into the White House with a million camera's and handcuffs."
Evidence aside, I suppose the ideal "right opportunity" would be to go through the motion of an arrest next time Barry steps foot in Maricopa County. Such would draw the attention of "a million camera's".
"I would think that before the election primary would be the best. and even right before the general election."
In my opinion as a (retired) Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) Zullo made the case before the election "beyond a reasonable" doubt that the crime of forgery had been committed (sufficient for a grand jury indictment).
Arpaio has been very conservative with his claims.
First he claimed "probable cause" of forgery.
Second he claimed "beyond a reasonable doubt" there is forgery.
Third (currently being set up by Zullo using Carl Gallups to create media buzz for an impending revelation) Arpaio is now claiming "beyond ALL doubt" there was forgery.
As a true LEO channeling his inner "Joe Friday" Apaio has stuck to "just the facts, Ma'am" and NEVER claimed that Obama himself personally constructed the forged BC. Arpaio has never claimed evidence of that although the implications for Barry are obvious.
So even though is SEEMS like this new claim is just another in a long series of equally failed duds, I view each of the three above claims (assuming the third new claim is as conclusive as claimed) to have been proper and sequentially significant.
The problem has always been with the MSM and GOP-e and Congress and SCOTUS hiding under the covers from the political chaos domestically and internationally should Barry be revealed to have personally forged his ID documents regardless what he was hiding with that forgery (birth location?...paternity?)
Me too! This whole political thing is just BS and wait, and wait, and wait, nothing but wait.
And to quote the smartest woman in the world:
"What difference does it make?"
Amen. They need to stop with the teasers. Drop the bomb and let the pieces fall where they may.
this when the guy usually gets killed......ask Andrew, Marilyn and a dozen others who said they had something coming.......if you got it put it out or you will never live to tell...
Death to all misplaced apostrophes!!
Forged documents are just part of the totalitarian MO. Who will act on it?
The Biggest Cover-up in American History
Supreme Court cases that cite natural born Citizen as one born on U.S. soil to citizen parents:
The Venus, 12 U.S. 8 Cranch 253 253 (1814)
Vattel, who, though not very full to this point, is more explicit and more satisfactory on it than any other whose work has fallen into my hands, says: The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives or indigenes are those born in the country of parents who are citizens. Society not being able to subsist and to perpetuate itself but by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.
Shanks v. Dupont, 28 U.S. 3 Pet. 242 242 (1830)
Ann Scott was born in South Carolina before the American revolution, and her father adhered to the American cause and remained and was at his death a citizen of South Carolina. There is no dispute that his daughter Ann, at the time of the Revolution and afterwards, remained in South Carolina until December, 1782. Whether she was of age during this time does not appear. If she was, then her birth and residence might be deemed to constitute her by election a citizen of South Carolina. If she was not of age, then she might well be deemed under the circumstances of this case to hold the citizenship of her father, for children born in a country, continuing while under age in the family of the father, partake of his national character as a citizen of that country. Her citizenship, then, being prima facie established, and indeed this is admitted in the pleadings, has it ever been lost, or was it lost before the death of her father, so that the estate in question was, upon the descent cast, incapable of vesting in her? Upon the facts stated, it appears to us that it was not lost and that she was capable of taking it at the time of the descent cast.
Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393 (1857)
The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As society cannot perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their parents, and succeed to all their rights.' Again: 'I say, to be of the country, it is necessary to be born of a person who is a citizen; for if he be born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country. . . .
Minor v. Happersett , 88 U.S. 162 (1875)
The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first.
United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)
At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children, born in a country of parents who were its citizens, became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.
Perkins v. Elg, 307 U.S. 325 (1939),
Was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that a child born in the United States to naturalized parents on U.S. soil is a natural born citizen and that the child's natural born citizenship is not lost if the child is taken to and raised in the country of the parents' origin, provided that upon attaining the age of majority, the child elects to retain U.S. citizenship "and to return to the United States to assume its duties." Not only did the court rule that she did not lose her native born Citizenship but it upheld the lower courts decision that she is a "natural born Citizen of the United States" because she was born in the USA to two naturalized U.S. Citizens.
But the Secretary of State, according to the allegation of the bill of complaint, had refused to issue a passport to Miss Elg 'solely on the ground that she had lost her native born American citizenship.' The court below, properly recognizing the existence of an actual controversy with the defendants [307 U.S. 325, 350] (Aetna Life Ins. Co. v. Haworth, 300 U.S. 227 , 57 S.Ct. 461, 108 A.L.R. 1000), declared Miss Elg 'to be a natural born citizen of the United States' (99 F.2d 414) and we think that the decree should include the Secretary of State as well as the other defendants. The decree in that sense would in no way interfere with the exercise of the Secretary's discretion with respect to the issue of a passport but would simply preclude the denial of a passport on the sole ground that Miss Elg had lost her American citizenship."
The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term natural born citizen to any other category than those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof.
How is it possible to prove a paper document is forged by examining an electronic copy of it?
Tick tock.
The information on the document may be proven to be not so, regardless if the document is the original or a fac simile.
If hussein showed up with the forgery pasted to his forehead at noon on CNN and admitted to everything, the sheeple would quote Hillary that is doesn't matter. He's been in office too long for congresissies to make him step down much less haul his sorry self off the Lakin's old cell in Leavenworth.
I'm a born skeptic.
There are folks out there, like Butterdezillion, who spend countless hours and her own money to get the word out that Obama is hiding something. Dr. Taitz spends hours flying around the country with her court cases, trying to bring down Obama and his enablers. While she has a paypal button, she also had related expenses with her court cases.
Zullo? What's his motivation? At this point, I think it's just money. What will bring the most money in? By prolonging the investigation, he gets to have meeting after meeting where folks are hit up for money to support the investigation. I'm skeptical enough to highly doubt that they are finding ANY new evidence. I think he's all talk. He's not presenting anything because he doesn't HAVE anything. Other than talk. If they truly had SOMETHING, why didn't they present it before the election? Mark my words, they will NEVER present anything, they will just keep promising, stringing folks along, taking their money. They are beyond reprehensible.
True, but that's not what they've claimed. They've claimed the document itself is a forgery. They've said nothing about the birth facts on the document being incorrect.
If Grandma lied about the birth facts and obtained a valid COLB, the original paper document isn't a forgery.
If Hawaii knowingly fabricated an original paper document for him, the original is a forgery not the electronic copy.
If he changed the information in the electronic copy from what is on the original, then the electronic copy is a forgery.
If the electronic copy matches the original paper document, how is it possible to determine that the original is a forgery by examining the electronic copy?
It doesn't compute for me, but then I never bought into the Kenyan-born theory. I think he propagated the Kenyan-born persona for personal gain ... until it became a liability.
He's a liar. Always has been, always will be. He also lied about being a Christian for personal gain when it's clear from his statements that he doesn't have a personal relationship with Christ.
Ok....So where is the evidence? Why the delay? ( tired sigh!)
Pretty much sums it up.
Same can be said of his entire political party, and their supporters and enablers. Except of those who are simpy ignorant, and too lazy or comfortable to look into it.
if election fraud and felony forgery can be shown, he will be impeached
otherwise, what's the point of 'laws' if they are not applied equally to all?
If memory serves correctly, Arpaio first was advertised and promoted by the shill Hannity. Pink underwear. Arpaio is a cop, a sheriff that runs a huge jail. He's a jail administrator first and foremost and for that, he deserves little adoration, imo.
Right. It is no longer of consequence. We have passed the tipping point. Obama could haul Boehner and McConnell up to the White House and execute them on prime TV (I know, why would he bother) and it wouldn't matter. The only thing that will get Obama out of office prior to the end of his second term is the 82nd Airborne, if them.
On the taped interview at about 9 minutes Carl Gallups asks Mike Zullo to validate Gallups previous dramatic pre-Christmas announcement that something big would imminently be revealed...but got derailed at the last minute and Zullo confirms that. IIRC a significant public official in a position to do something constitutionally was supposed to go public. It seems obvious that the public official backed out.
At around 14 minutes Zullo explains a possible reason for that public official clamming up and also Gen Powell's sudden interest in denouncing GOP birthers as racists when he says he believes that the NSA is bugging his phone calls (Gallups basically says "Do ya think???).
Zullo explains his suspicion in so many words that NSA or some other agency (FBI/SS/DOH all regarding POTUS true identity as a matter of national security) are bugging him and that the "hugh and series" new evidence that the posse has now uncovered is so damaging that Powell has been enlisted to get in front of any impending revelations.
I posted this exact explanation for Powell's behavior on FR at the time, i.e. Powell betrays an extreme fear in Barry's camp on the issue and an attempt at preemption of a known threat. Sunday talk show time is priceless and everything Powell said was doubtless cleared with and prompted by Barry's national security team.
Powell's precious personally invested racial triumph of Barry's election would be destroyed and Powell's own betrayal of the Constitution would be revealed to be feckless and traitorous if Arpaio and Zullo succeeded in getting the MSM to seriously examine new evidence.
Rather than go with a big media event, like the one right before Breitbart died, or right before before "Where's the BC" was released and the forgery revealed and OBL killed as a distraction, Arpaio and Zullo are keeping public announcement of the actual evidence quiet.
Even thought the domestic enemy knows that Arpaio has this evidence, their efforts to throttle public release and any public figure who dares to support it could be delayed or muted as long as no MSM cameras are covering it.
The fact that Zullo is only just now suspecting that "the NSA" is bugging him shows more than a little naivety regarding the domestic enemy and what it is capable of.
Thanks for the ping!
And when might that be? We have Lance Armstrong coming clean on Oprah, we have the Notre Dame Manti Te'o revelations ... all of this coming to light in the last couple of weeks. How about revealing the biggest fraud in U.S. political history ... let's get that story out now.
These people suck even if they are right.
ANOTHER claim of huge evidence right around the corner?
Here's the deal. Obama is ineligible and everyone knows that. No one with the power to do something is going to do anything. The riots would be off the charts.
Anybody remember these people's last giant announcement about 2 months ago that was going to "change everything"?
And the one before that?
HUGH and SERIES!!!
This claim that the new previously unknown evidence will convince even the greatest skeptic seriously underestimates the ruling Obamunist elites sociopathic investment in protecting Barry.
Maybe if Zullo as a video confession from the person who actually created the White House BC forgery...maybe that would do it, but short of that, I expect a vicious partisan assault on Team Arpaio and their evidence.
The could have video of Hussein himself with a pair of scissors, a pot of paste and xerox machine forging the document himself and the MSM would proudly proclaim how damn clever he is in doing "state business"....
Think you're looking at the issue through a mirror:
One CANNOT prove authenticity via an elctronic copy, but one CAN ABSOLUTELY prove forgery by examining such a copy, if the forged components can stand alone. There are a multitude of such elements in Obamination's docs.
Thanks for the ping Seize and great update. :-)
[ It doesnt compute for me, but then I never bought into the Kenyan-born theory. I think he propagated the Kenyan-born persona for personal gain ... until it became a liability.

I agree, I think he used the whole meme of him being "Kenyan born" as a meme when he ran for local offices in Illinois...
I also think he used his "Indonesian Citizen" status to get a sweetheart deal on his education as well.
He is a fraudster first and foremost.
We still want to hear the truth so all those after-birthers can choke on it.

Kyoto, Japan is famous for it's blend of fast-paced, ultra-modern, and neon-lighted city life with the tranquil natural areas and spiritual sites. Kyoto was once the capital of Japan, and is similar to Tokyo in many ways. The ancient culture of Japan can still be felt amidst all the urban movement, and this makes Kyoto a very interesting sort of place to travel to. However, traveling abroad requires that you have a passport, and with online passport services, you can get yours online.
Online passport sites provide service to people who would like to receive their passport in a shorter time frame than the typical passport process. These sites offer a plethora of services to address any passport issue you might have, such as services to help you renew passport online, get a passport replacement, or even get your name changed on your passport if you are recently married or divorced.
Kyoto has 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, which is a lot more than many countries have. Nishi-Hongan-ji Temple is just one of these sites. This Temple houses many National Treasures, such as the oldest Noh theatre in the world. It also features intricate, gold-trimmed gates and stunning architecture. Nijo Castle is an entire complex, with Ninomaru Palace being one of the most spectacular spots, as it is almost completely constructed out of cypress. This castle was constructed as a residence for shoguns, and its rich gold leaf decorations and wood carvings make it a breathtaking sort of spectacle. Kamigamo Shrine is one of the oldest Shinto shrines in the entire country of Japan, and it is a very sacred and incredibly beautiful site to see.
There are four imperial palaces and villas open to the public to tour, and they are popular attractions to see. The best time to see the palaces and villas is definitely during the fall when the leaves are changing and also during the spring, during cherry blossom season. Speaking of the cherry blossoms, Kyoto is definitely one of the prime places in Japan in which to view the cherry blossoms blooming. Another neat place to see is Iwatayama monkey park, also called Monkey Mountain. This park features 170 Japanese macaque monkeys that roam around the park freely. Admission is required, but it is totally worth it. The monkeys aren't afraid of humans, especially if you come bearing food.
Gardens and museums are part of the cultural experience. If someone in your travel group likes trains, consider visiting the Umekoji Steam Locomotive Museum, where there are 19 old steam locomotives on display. Manga is a huge part of Japanese culture, and it's becoming very popular in the United States today. The Kyoto International Manga Museum is a good stop if you have a manga fan with you. The Kyoto Botanical Garden is an absolutely stunning place to visit. The atmosphere is overwhelmingly tranquil.
As you can see, your time in Kyoto will be filled with all sorts of historical, cultural, and naturally beautiful things to see and experience. Just don't forget to purchase a passport well in advance of your trip. If you already have one, remember that you can also renew USA passport online as well. There are services available to get your US passport expedited.

How can we have so much scandal in politics?
The world's wisest man concluded that there is nothing new under the sun.
Indulgence in scandal is not new. In fact, King Solomon was personally acquainted with it; likewise his father King David, and many other ancestors of the present day church and modern society.
Inappropriate behavior, faulty financial decision-making, and outright lies and cover-ups explode from the pages of the daily news like missiles launched from multiple industries. Banking and politics have been particularly hard hit over the last few years but corrupt practices can "suddenly" change the landscape of many lives.
Take heart and know that leadership should be under scrutiny. Make time to examine your own heart and see if you are leading out of your "Sonship" (that is to say, by the spirit of God living inside you). If you are applying Godly principles to the vision you've been charged to carry out, you will never have to look over your shoulder or shamefully embarrass your spouse and family.
Obviously books on leadership abound. The "how-to" isles at bookstores are filled with people trying to figure out the latest best practices. I can tell you with total confidence that God knows them all. He inspired the Bible which is full of good news for leaders. But, knowing many people will categorically not mosey over to the "religious" isle or directly seek His advice, He has called some good men and women to the task including John Bevere. Honors Rewards is one of my all time favorites. The leadership team at In Christ New Hope Ministry read this books two years ago. This year we're using John Maxwell's leadership primer: The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership.
