Sydney sinking probe to be led by former judge
TERENCE Cole, the former judge who headed the inquiries into AWB and the building industry, will investigate how World War II warship HMAS Sydney was destroyed by the disguised German raider Kormoran.
The Sydney and the Kormoran destroyed each other in a ferocious battle off Western Australia on November 19, 1941.
All 645 crew of the Sydney died. About 80 members of the German crew died and 317 survived.
The wrecks of the two ships were discovered this month in about 2500 metres of water.
Acting Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced yesterday that Mr Cole's investigation would include an examination of documents and interviews with elderly German survivors of the Kormoran.
Mr Cole is a former deputy judge advocate-general of the Australian Defence Force with a strong interest in maritime law and military history.
The ADF is still calculating what the inquiry will cost.
Ms Gillard said it would be extensive and complicated but it was time the riddle was solved.
"More than 600 of our nation's finest sailors and airmen lost their lives and we still don't know exactly how Sydney met her end," Ms Gillard said.
"I hope that through this inquiry we have a better understanding of what happened on that fateful day.
"In particular, I know that this inquiry will have special significance to the families of those who lost loved ones on Sydney," she said.
ADF chief Angus Houston said it was fundamental the inquiry must leave no doubt as to what happened in the battle.
"Strange as it may seem, no board of inquiry was conducted during World War II after the loss of Sydney, so this is very much unfinished business," Air Chief Marshal Houston said.
Mr Cole will sit alone and it is likely to be well into next year before he reports to Air Chief Marshal Houston.
Ms Gillard said this was a task worth doing and the search would be exhaustive.
"There are documents that travel across 23 kilometres of shelf space that must be worked through in the course of this inquiry because they all pertain to the Sydney and may include information that is relevant.
"We want an answer to the very longstanding mystery."
Air Chief Marshal Houston said much of the documentation had not been examined.
The only record of the battle was provided by the Kormoran survivors, who described seeing the Sydney, heavily ablaze, sailing slowly towards the south-western horizon.
Members of the search team that found the two ships said the Sydney's bow appeared to be missing which could explain how it sank fast enough to prevent any survivors escaping.
They plan to lower a set of deep water cameras on a remote-controlled mini-submarine to photograph and film the wrecks.
That work has been delayed by cyclone Pancho.
Ms Gillard said that while a parliamentary inquiry into the Sydney's sinking was held a decade ago, circumstances had changed now that the wrecks had been found.
"We can obviously gain information from the wreck itself that, of course, has never been available to anybody inquiring into this matter in the past."

Epic holiday with an epic stateroom: Norwegian Epic Cruise Review by Geosuzie
Overall Member Rating
Epic holiday with an epic stateroom
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
Embarkation and first impressions
Embarkation is so easy with NCL, Royal Caribbean please take note! We arrived at the port for 11:30 and were onboard before midday. We took our luggage straight to the cabin which was already available and then went to lunch in the garden cafe, what a great More way to start a cruise!
First impressions of the Epic is that it's quite an ugly ship from the outside, but though it lacks the stunning atriums of Royal Caribbean it is very nicely set out and everything's easy to find. The restaurants, bars, shops and theatres are mainly confined to deck 6, 7, and the pool deck (15). The casino is huge but unlike previous reviewers we didn't find it smelled of tobacco as we were expecting. Next to the casino is the 'irish' themed bar O'Sheehan's which has a large bar area and lots of tables to sit and eat at.
The pool areas are well spaced with more sunbeds than I have ever seen before! There is plenty of room to accommodate everyone, and even a couple of hidden away spaces on the upper decks if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle. There is a bar area by the pools and the Spice H20 area which is adult only until 8pm. What the Epic lacks here is an inside bar area from which to watch the sail-away, which I always like and missed here.
We stayed in a spa mini-suite (14102) which was situated right next to the spa and the gymnasium. This particular mini-suite has a bathtub as well as a shower but not all the rooms are the same. There is only access to a few cabins here so consequently there was next to no 'traffic' noise from people walking in the corridor. The balcony is very large and also very private, no being overlooked or window reflections from the other balconies. There is a curtained area where you can separate the bath and toilet from the main cabin and we didn't have a problem with the lay-out of the sink as this was next to the sofa rather than the bed. Bath/shower comes with shampoo, conditioner and shower gel.
Plenty of storage , we just had to make sure we checked every drawer as I'm sure it'd be easy to leave something behind. There is even storage behind the sofa which we used to empty the mini-bar so that we could put our own water and soft drinks in the fridge. Thanks to our steward Rolando for looking after us so well.
As part of our package we had access to the spa facilities, which I didn't use until the last couple of days. What a shame I didn't take a look before because the hydrothermal pool was great. I used the gym most mornings and never found more than 3 or 4 people in there.
We dined most of the time in the garden cafe. For the most part the food was excellent, always hot and with plenty of choice (especially for us Indian loving brits!). I also really liked the salads which I thought had lots of variety. We had room service a couple of times, both the pizza and the burgers were really good. We intended to try the speciality restaurants but in the end ran out of time. Really wanted to try the noodle bar as the food looked really good.
I didn't use the breakfast area in O'Sheehans until well into our trip and would highly recommend this as a great start to the day. Instead of helping yourself to a buffet, it's a sit-down breakfast, which comes with a pot of coffee, juice and fresh hot toast. We had appetizers in O'Sheehans a couple of times- we found that the buffalo wings were so filling we didn't need to eat dinner later. Bar staff here were excellent, thanks to Jay and Danny for looking after us.
We spend about 60-70% of our time onboard in our cabin, just relaxing, reading and watching a movie. I'm so glad we brought ipads pre-loaded with movies because the channel selection was appalling. There is a choice of BBC World, CNN and a couple of other American news channels, the nickelodeon channel in several languages and a single channel which repeats a few episodes from various American series. No movie channels at all! You can of course choose to watch a movie from the NCL premium selection priced at $9.99 each, but seriously! No other channels! NCL you should consider offering a package whereby for say $100 for the week you can choose any amount of films from your premium selection instead of $9.99 per movie! I would certainly pay for that!
I only wanted to see one show, the Blue Man Group (shows really aren't my thing) and I did enjoy it, although some of the jokes were strung out just that bit too long. I heard 'Twice as Nice' a couple of times whilst having a drink in the Atrium bar and they were good, worth a look.
O'Sheehan's overlooks the Atrium bar and if it were a serious sports bar this could be a real problem with the loud music from downstairs when trying to watch a game, however the sports programmes available were terrible. We had a selection of dry slope ski-ing, mountainbike riding and mens handball! Since we were departing from Barcelona we at least expected some soccer to be shown, and even though there's a rugby world cup going on, we didn't' even get to see highlights!
Ports and how to get there
I won't give an extensive review of the ports as this is a highly personal choice, and what I may wish to see may not be of interest to you, however I will recommend that you try going under your own steam rather than taking the extortionately overpriced excursions organised by NCL (take another note NCL your trips are up to twice the price of other cruise lines!) For example, a combined rail/metro ticket from Civitavecchia to Rome cost just €9 each! If you want to go by train you get the free shuttle bus into town and follow the sign for the station. There is a little shop next to the shuttle drop off which sells these tickets but it was heaving so we went directly to the train station and there was no queue. Ticket office personnel speak English.
In Naples you walk straight off the ship into the port. There is a bus-stop nearby that takes you to Pompeii on a return ticket for €10 each! The ferries to Capri also depart from next to the port but I didn't make a note of how much tickets were.
In Palma you can walk right off the boat and get a bus into the town centre for €1! We were able to hire a car really cheaply from the airport which you get to on the same bus (cost €2) and only takes 25 minutes. Don't be afraid, try it yourself!
Demographics of the passengers seemed to be 40% brits, 40% americans and the rest made up mainly of spanish, germans and chinese. There were few children on board. This was reflected in the number of people using the bars which is much more than we experienced on previous cruises, and the better for it. To a fault all staff we encountered were courteous and professional. Unlike previous reviewers I never once felt over-crowded, which takes some doing on a ship of this size. Never had a problem with people pushing in line at the buffet. Never had a problem getting a drink at the bar. I didn't use the sunbeds but I did notice there were always plenty available.
I have no hesitation in recommending a trip on the Epic, but you do need to prefer 'freestyle' over traditional cruising. I didn't get the sense that NCL nickel-and-dime you as much as I have found on other cruises, I found that you were left to get on with what you wanted to do, when you wanted to do it. I will keep an eye on the schedulof the Epic because I'd like to sail with her again. And as for NCL, my next one's already booked! Less

This post is (sort of) a follow-up to my recent post Becoming the Exploited Ones?A life of ceaseless prayer is key to moving in the direction that I described in the post mentioned above...But what does it mean to pray without ceasing?I have long thought that the spirit of prayer is "not my will but thine be done," as Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. But recently, I've been reflecting on what Jesus's prayer might mean.Life is full of contingencies, of things that could possibly go wrong. The nature of modern Western cukture is to eliminate as many of the contingencies … [Read more...]

Alicia Foxworth, was a character who only appeared in Garden of Shadows, the prequel to Flowers in the Attic.
|Alicia Foxworth
|Biographical Information
|Birth Name: Alicia
|Relatives: Garland Foxworth (Husband, deceased); Unknown Man (Husband); Christopher Foxworth, Sr. (Son, deceased); Corrine Foxworth, Jr. (Daughter/Daughter-in-law, deceased); Christopher Dollanganger (Grandson, deceased); Catherine Dollanganger (Grandaughter, deceased); Carrie Dollanganger (Granddaughter, deceased); Cory Dollanganger (Grandson, deceased); Jory Marquet (Great Grandson); Bart Winslow, Jr. (Great Grandson); Cindy Sheffield (adopted Great Granddaughter); Darren Marquet (Great-Great Grandson); Deidre Marquet (Great-Great Grandaughter); Unnamed Child Marquet (Great-Great Grandchild)
|Status: Deceased, Breast Cancer
|Occupation: N/A
|Appearances: Garden of Shadows
|Portrayed By:
Garden of ShadowsEdit
Alicia was the nineteen-year-old wife of Garland Foxworth, making her the stepmother of Malcolm.
When she appeared, she was pregnant with their first child, who would be born and be a son named Christopher. Later on, Malcolm begins to lust for Alicia, but she spurns him.
After Garland's death, Malcolm rapes Alicia and she becomes pregnant by the encounter. Malcolm's wife Olivia hides her stepmother in-law in the attic during her pregnancy and pass the child off as hers.
Alicia is put up in the same attic her grandchildren will be locked up in later. She gives birth to Corrine and leaves Foxworth Hall, taking Christopher with her. She later remarries a country doctor and lives the remainder of her life away from Foxworth Hall.
Alicia dies of breast cancer. As a dying wish, she asks Olivia to give her son a home in Foxworth Hall.
How She Affects Dollanganger SagaEdit
With the introduction of Alicia, it is shown that she was Corrine's mother and not Olivia, which would make Corrine and Christopher half-siblings instead of niece and half-uncle respectively, as it was stated in the other books.
However, Olivia never told Corrine about how Alicia was her mother, so the niece/half-uncle story was used.
Plus, Alicia would be the maternal as well as paternal grandmother of Cathy, Chris, Cory and Carrie as well as the true great-grandmother to Bart and Jory, Cathy's sons. She is also the great-great-grandmother of Deirdre and Darren (Jory's children with Melodie).

WESTOVER Kia's showroom in Ferndown has re-opened following a refurbishment.
The dealership on Wimborne Road East has room for eight vehicles as well as a purpose-built six-bay workshop with the latest diagnostic equipment.
The improved workshop means customers should enjoy shorter lead times on service, MOT and repair appointments.
There is more parking space for visitors, a larger forecourt for approved used vehicles and a new waiting area with complementary refreshments and newspapers.
Gary Clark, brand manager, said: "The redevelopment process has been long because we've had a complete rebuild but the finished showroom is definitely worth the wait – and I'm positive our customers will agree when they come and visit.
"We now have the most modern facilities of any Kia showroom in the country, as well as plenty of room for visitors and the capacity to stock a lot more cars. Anyone who wants to pop in and see is welcome."
Westover has seen a 62 per cent increase in sales since it brought Kia to Dorset seven years ago. It soon stole the title of top UK dealership.
Mr Clark leads the business team, with John Watson heading the service teams and Matt O'Donegan joining as sales manager.
To celebrate the opening, Westover is offering the Kia Picanto for £99 a month, with a deal on the award-winning Kia Sportage at £15,995.

Hi guys and gals, has anyone made a chiffon cake in a spring form pan from Rose's Heavenly Cakes? I don't know if its just me but i cannot get the cake to stay in the pan when inverted upside down. The spring form pan I am using is not a non stick so that's not the reason. Has anyone been able to duplicate the results of this cake?
Also I just made one last night and when i cut in it half I noticed a spot that's more condensed rather than light and airy. Is this from under backing? or more from poor incorporation of egg whites into batter?
Anyways, any help or advice you can offer with making this cake and being able to invert it so it doesn't collapse would be much appritiated.

FORT HOOD — When deployment got chaotic, Sgt. Roy Kellogg said he thought of his wife back home to keep himself motivated.
"Every day I was looking forward to seeing my beautiful wife," said the communications specialist who spent the past nine months in Afghanistan with the 20th Engineer Battalion, 36th Engineer Brigade.
Kellogg was one of 151 "Lumberjack" soldiers to return to their families and loved ones on Cameron Field on Wednesday afternoon. He was greeted by his wife, Jami Kellogg, who donned a specially made tank top and sported a patriotic-themed pedicure.
"I'm just ready to get back to normal life," she said.
Elements of the Lumberjack Battalion began deploying in February 2012, and the battalion headquarters is the final piece to return to Fort Hood.
"The contributions they've made to Afghan independence, assured mobility and construction in Regional Command-South have been phenomenal," said Lt. Col. Jason Kelly, battalion commander.
While each company deployed with separate missions, the Lumberjacks were the only multifunctional engineer battalion in the region, serving as a headquarters for other engineer companies from different installations and the Army Reserves.
Task Force Lumberjack not only performed route clearance, but also conducted a construction mission and played a major role in the development of the Afghan National Army engineers.
Of all the Lumberjacks' successes, Kelly said he is most proud of the safety streamer earned by each of his companies that recognized there were no major accidents in the last 12 months.
"I've never been in a battalion where all the companies got streamers," Kelly said.
As his soldiers were released on a four-day weekend, he said they all committed to continue to keep safety a priority.
"All of these soldiers are and should be pleased with their service," Kelly said. "I'm very happy. It's also good to see friends of the battalion and families welcome us home."
Shardae Pigue greeted her husband, Sgt. Christopher Pigue, alongside her two daughters and a handful of other close relatives.
"I think he deserves it," she said of the big family welcome. "We're looking forward just to reuniting."

Liberty -- the bell is cracked
Al's analysis is not complicated. It doesn't involve complicated computer models that combine the studied values of real estate, education spending, test scores, employment, economic output, or other factors that might be considered by a better funded analysis. No, Al's got to work fast and under budget, so he only looked at one thing -- gun laws.
The logic seems simple enough -- if the citizens of a State don't care enough about their right to keep and bear arms, they probably don't care enough to stop intrusive governmental regulations in every other area of life. Since a low value on protecting life in the most deadly of circumstances leaves the barn door wide open in other less grave circumstances. Makes sense to us.
You're not given a list of places to go, rather a list of States to avoid.
Without further adieu:
Highlights include:
MA -- Residents must register with the state and obtain permission from Massachusetts to purchase even a simple single-shot long gun. Class A licenses are required for handgun ownership, and random restrictions may be placed on the license.
IL -- There is a handgun ban in the City of Chicago. So, no one is shot by a handgun? In 2002, 511 (almost two per day) homicides were committed with a firearm. H-m-m-m didn't they know that it was illegal to own a handgun in Chicago? It is probably illegal to kill people in the City of Chicago too. Outside Chicago -- all Illinois gun owners are required to obtain a Firearm Owners Identification Card (FOID) from the state, and the card must be presented to purchase even a single round of ammo. All gun purchases are supposed to be registered with the state.
DC -- All handgun ownership is banned, and those who own rifles or shotguns must register with the city.
CA -- You must register all handguns with the Department of Justice. There is also a 10-day waiting period for every gun purchase.
You can read all the details in Al's analysis.
What to do? Well, as we like to say, "That'd be up to you." You can live in these places and break the law. You can live in these places and attempt to abide by the laws. You could work feverishly to change the laws. Or, you could just look around at the forty-three other states that value your liberty a bit higher than these frightful seven. Good luck.

I think most would agree with what your saying, we do need to do something to fix this mess. However, raising the debt ceiling has nothing to do with this. We need to raise the debt limit to cover existing bills so the economy doesn't collapse.

I received an email from my Colorado Senator- Michael Bennet- to sign a petition to raise the debt limit. My reply follows:Quoting: E. Henry Thripshaw
"All of you in Washington need to learn to live within your means…that means no more credit and cut spending. Because the Congress has sufficiently demonstrated that it cannot do this itself, we need a constitutional Balanced Budget Amendment that forces it to. NO DEBT CEILING INCREASE…you collectively (and yes, I mean both sides of the aisle) have spent enough. Like Ron Paul said, if debt is the problem, why do you want more of it? CUT SPENDING!
While we're at it, we also need term limits (2 terms only each for the House, the Senate, and the Presidency) to ensure that those who serve do so out of a desire to SERVE, thus eliminating the current class of career politicians who ultimately/eventually vote in their own self-interest, not the Country's. We need to return to a "citizen" legislature. In that spirit, we also need to NOT provide a lifetime pension for those who do serve, NOT provide a lifetime of healthcare that ordinary citizens do not have access to, and NOT allow Congress to not pay into Social Security. All legislators should return to private life satisfied with the knowledge they served their country…that's it. They should be subject to the same healthcare options, job opportunities (or not), and retirement options that ordinary Americans enjoy (or not). They should be subject to the same laws they passed while in office, just like everyone else.
THIS is the revolution I would like to see…the people speaking at the ballot box until such time that Congress once again serves the will of the people…NOT themselves. The current system is irrevocably broken and needs a severe overhaul…THAT is change I can believe in. And if you have doubts that my dream of a Congress as envisioned by the Founding Fathers is not possible again in the future…I can only say "Wait for it…YES WE CAN"!

MOTORISTS are being warned to take extra care during heavy, thundery showers expected this weekend.
The Met Office has issued an amber warning for rain, starting on Friday night and continuing through Saturday, warning of torrential downpours and a risk of localised flooding.
According to the forecast, showers will begin in the south of the country overnight on Friday and move northward throughout Saturday.
The showers are expected to be localised and short, but torrential and thundery, and are possible across much of England.
It is possible that some of the showers will be heavy enough to cause temporary, localised flooding.
The Highways Agency, which operates and maintains motorways and major A roads in England, is working closely with the Met Office to monitor weather conditions and keep journeys safe and reliable.
Simon Sheldon-Wilson, director of traffic management at the Highways Agency, said: "With schools across the country now broken up for summer, lots of people will be taking to the roads this weekend.
"While this weather should not prevent people from making a journey, it's important that drivers are aware of the forecast and drive appropriately.
"Rain and spray can reduce visibility and when the road is wet it can take up to twice as long to stop so it makes sense to slow down when it's raining and leave plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front.
"It's also a good idea to check the latest conditions before setting out on a journey – it only takes a minute and can save you a lot of time if there is an incident on your route."

10 year old bruised after attempted NE Spokane abduction
A ten-year-old girl showed KREM 2 News bruises on her neck on Monday that she said were from an attempted child abduction in North Spokane. Spokane police spent the first weekend in May investigating the report of the attempted child abduction.
Police said often times they receive made up stories from children. They said the ten-year-old girl's case seemed legitimate. They added surveillance video of the suspect's car backed up the victim's story.
The victim and her friend, another ten-year-old girl, said they were playing outside when they noticed a suspicious man.
"It was scary...I had never experienced anything like that in my life," said the victim.
The children told KREM 2 News that a man suddenly approached them. They said they tried to climb up a tree to get away and the man ripped one of them from the tree.
"She started screaming for help, I started following him without him knowing," said the victim's friend. "He tossed her into the car and started driving away."
The victim said the suspect caused wounds to her neck.
"He strangled me," said the victim.
The girl said she was able to get out of the suspect's SUV and run for help.
"I kicked the door open and fought him," she said.
Police were called to the scene to investigate.
"My daughter came in and was bawling, she was upset," said the mother of the victim's friend. She almost lost her best friend."
Both of the children's mothers said they feared their little girls would be forever scarred by the situation. The victim's mother said she was grateful the ordeal was not worse.
"Thank god she got out of the car...if she hadn't I don't know what would have happened," she said.
Law enforcement said reports of attempted abductions are not uncommon. They said multiple cases surface every year, but many are not backed by evidence. They said this case appeared to be different.
The suspect vehicle was described as a dark green SUV. The suspect was described as a tan or Hispanic male in his late 30s to 40s.
If you have any information on the case you are asked to call Crime Check at (509) 456-2233.

RED ALERT!!! Massive cover-up underway in the White House! Natural Born Citizen Definition SCRUBBED FROM ALL ONLINE DICTIONARIES!!!
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
Friend sent this to me....not sure of the author, and I know it's very well in line with other posts we've read here, but this guy does an excellent job of pointing out the REAL issues in the birth certificate....
"Yesterday the White House supposedly released the president's original birth certificate.
Here's the problem: I offend just about everyone. It's not my intention to offend anyone, but it's unavoidable at times. I occasionally point out where the Republican party has failed the country. While this makes Democrats happy, it also offends Republicans.
I also point out where the Democrat party has failed the country. While this makes Republicans happy, it also offends Democrats.
So by offending Democrats and Republicans at one time or another, I manage to offend over 95% of the population. Again, that's not my intent, it's just the nature of having to talk about financial topics. The actions of government affect all things financial, and you can't be thorough in examining financial matters without considering government impact. And government is primarily composed of the two parties mentioned above.
I ask you to please don't take offense if your particular party is in the line of fire on any particular day. Believe me, there will be plenty of instances when the opposing party will be in my crosshairs.
There are some good things within each party. And there are plenty of bad things within each party as well. I often talk about how those bad things will harm our wealth. Neither party has a monopoly on bad things. I simply want to deal with the bad in both parties to enhance our wealth and for the betterment of the country.
I am not pro-Republican, nor am I pro-Democrat. I am pro-Constitution, pro-honesty, pro-personal freedom, pro-personal rights, pro-accountability, and many more.
My goal is not to offend anyone. My goal is to cut through the BS and deal with reality. So please don't take offense. These are real issues that must be dealt with, and discussed.
Now, yesterday Karl Denniger explained how the document that was released to the public was tampered with. A friend, who is a tech guy, also downloaded the document directly from the White House and confirmed that the document that was released to the public had been played with in Illustrator.
He offered a simple explanation: What if someone on the White House IT team wanted to practice his Illustrator skills and simply grabbed the nearest document to practice on, which happened to be the birth certificate. Then, when the decision was made to release it to the public, the person who did so grabbed the copy that the other IT employee had been playing with.
Maybe there is a genuine, un-altered birth certificate, and it was merely an accident that an altered copy was released to the public.
Plausible. Not likely, but conceivably it could have happened as my tech guy proposed. Maybe releasing a birth certificate that had clearly been tampered with was just an accident.
So I got to thinking and digging a little further. It is very important, especially in financial matters, to have an open mind and investigate without preconceived notions.
I don't know where the President was born, nor do I have an opinion. I merely have a lot of questions, and I know that if he WASN'T born in the U.S. it could be a trigger to greatly amplify our current economic crisis.
So let me point out a couple more things about the document that was released yesterday.
The document lists the President's father's birthplace as Kenya. But Kenya didn't officially become Kenya until December 12, 1963. The President was born in 1961. Would his birth certificate list a country that wasn't officially a country? You can see the date that Kenya became a country in the right hand column in this Wikipedia entry:
link to en.wikipedia.org
Before that date, the land was officially British East Africa Protectorate, or simply British East Africa:
link to en.wikipedia.org
It was also referred to as Kenya Colony, or the Protectorate of Kenya:
link to en.wikipedia.org
Was it referred to simply as "Kenya?" Yes, in this map of Africa from 1950:
link to www.ngmapcollection.com
It is conceivable that Kenya was put on the birth certificate instead of the official "British East Africa Protectorate" or even "British East Africa." I would think at a minimum, it would say "Colony of Kenya," since that is how it was described in 1961.
Simply putting Kenya is conceivable, but it does cause me to go: Hmmmmm.
Now here's another issue with the document that is far more of a dilemma. On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed place of birth is "Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital". I find that INCREDIBLY odd.
If you want to know more about that hospital, here is a page on its website that describes its background:
link to www.kapiolani.org
Notice that Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital, which is the hospital in question that is listed on the President's birth certificate, didn't even exist in 1961. It didn't come into existence until 1978. Before then, there were two hospitals, Kauikeolani Children's Hospital and Kapi'olani Maternity Home.
The hospital's OWN WEBSITE says that those two hospitals merged in 1978 to become the one single hospital that is listed on the document the White House released as being the official birth certificate.
How in the world, in 1961, could anyone have known that 17 years later, a merger between two hospitals was going to happen, and list the yet-to-be-formed hospital on the President's birth certificate?"
I don't have an answer to that, and I'm not sure that anyone does.
The possible economic implications are just as monumental as the Constitutional ones.

Obesity in Australia has more than doubled in 20 years, causing alarm among scientists and doctors who fear that its consequences - heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer - will become even bigger scourges.
Sixty per cent of the population is either overweight or obese, according to a national survey of more than 11,000 people published today in the Medical Journal of Australia. Among overweight nations, Australia is now in the same league as the United States, the study says.
The findings provide the clearest picture of the national waistline since 1980 and confirm a link between television and weight - the more you watch, the fatter you are likely to be.
Calling it an epidemic that costs the health budget $20 billion a year, study co-author Paul Zimmet of the Melbourne-based International Diabetes Institute said urgent action was needed.
His suggestions include that:
We end television's domination of leisure time;
Households make time for exercise; Schools reinstate sports sessions instead of loading children with homework;
We eat better food in smaller quantities; and
Communities get better parks and tracks for cycling.
"This isn't just something just for the Health Department," said Professor Zimmet.
"It involves agriculture, transport, education, media . . . a multi-disciplinary approach is needed to do something about it."
Referring to changing work practices, he said that jobs were now less physically demanding, so calories were not burnt off, and the car had replaced walking and cycling. At the same time obesity - and the beer gut - were becoming accepted as a part of ageing.
Individuals had to change, but so did society, and "we have to start off with the kids". More playgrounds, parks and bike tracks were needed, particularly in new suburbs, Professor Zimmet said.
An editorial in the same issue of the journal, headlined "Childhood obesity: modernity's scourge", said that the health and well-being of children "now and in the future, is under threat".
Obese children often suffered other preventable conditions including dental disease, emotional and behavioural problems, bullying and learning delays, said the editorial by Elizabeth Waters, the director of research and public health at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, and associate professor Louise Baur of the Children's Hospital at Westmead.
The Federal Government - which has repeatedly heard the obesity alarm and has set up a taskforce - should also fund new research in the areas of psychology and behavioural studies to guide it towards practical solutions, Professor Zimmet said.
"Television is here to stay and so are fast foods. We have to work out how to incorporate them into our lives.
"It isn't going to do any good blaming kids and parents, or blaming McDonald's and the food industry, when it is a much wider issue and responsibility," he said.
"If people aren't given an opportunity to get exercise because they haven't got good parks or sporting fields then we are going to continue to have the problem."
He was disturbed that Australia might repeat the US experience where some children watch television for between two and three months of the year when their viewing time is added up.
"We know that physical activity and losing weight will reduce the number of people with diabetes in Australia by 50 per cent," Professor Zimmet said.
"We are struggling with the whole business of getting individuals to change their lifestyle and no one has got the magic bullet."

since 1996, abstrait focuses on the chill-out culture in many ways: events concepts,
recordings, radio shows and much more. the french artist raphaël marionneau created
events like "le café abstrait" at mojo club, "le classique abstrait" or "le voyage abstrait"
and became one of ambassadors of the chill-out movement in europe and his project
"abstrait" became a first actor of this genre. with a very special blend, mixing chill-out,
ambient, lounge, electronic or classical music, the musical world of abstrait is unique

A LEADING Bolton GP is urging residents to have their say on a huge shake-up of hospital services.
Dr Wirin Bhatiani says the Healthier Together review will help "even out" variations in hospital care and improve chances of survival for patients.
The radical plans could see the Royal Bolton become one of five 'super hospitals' in Greater Manchester but health chiefs say the public must seize the opportunity to make their voices heard.
People have until September 30 to read the consultation document and fill out the forms either online or on paper.
Dr Wirin Bhatiani, chairman of NHS Bolton Clinical Commissioning Group, said: "There are currently significant variations in outcomes for patients across Greater Manchester and this must be addressed.
This is coupled with a limited workforce of senior medical staff spread thinly across Greater Manchester. NHS Bolton Clinical Commissioning Group is supporting Healthier Together because our top priority is delivering safe, high quality health care for everyone in Bolton and also in Greater Manchester as a whole.
"Whatever the outcome of a consultation may be, we know that Bolton people will benefit from a higher standard of care and access to specialist treatment when they need it. Sometimes the best specialist care doesn't have to be at our nearest hospital.
"We believe that the best way to achieve these improvements is for hospitals and CCGs to work together."
The reason why all hospitals cannot be specialist centres is down to cash and workforce, according to NHS chiefs.
Bolton NHS Foundation Trust is vying to become a "super hospital" in one of the biggest shake-ups the NHS has seen.
Oldham, Salford or Manchester Royal Infirmary have already been earmarked to be specialist centres.
The consultation will decide whether one or two more "super hospitals" are created, and where they will be.
The options are Bolton, Wythenshawe, the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan and Stepping Hill in Stockport.
If four hospitals are chosen, less money will be spent up front and Bolton will be in a straight fight with its three rivals.
If the option of five specialist centres is pursued, Bolton will compete with Wigan for the status.

Activists have circulated video of city residents — who may or may not have been noncombatants — apparently choking and gasping.
A: Well, I felt more or less like I was drowning, just gasping between life and death.
If gasping out loud in court were allowed, it likely would have happened in reaction to what the young man revealed next.
Oulson can be heard gurgling, gasping, his lungs crackling, the sounds of someone drowning in his own blood.
I would hear her watching it, gasping in shock or excitement, but I hardly ever watched it with her.
He paused in his blind struggle, gasping from pure exhaustion.
But think of the fearful struggle, and the long, gasping agony on the shore.
Then there came the headlong plunge into the swirling sea, followed by an indefinite period of gasping oblivion.
The next moment she was gasping and struggling as she fought his hold.
The new patient was gasping heavily, and the whites of his eyes showed.
1570s, from gasp (v.).

2017 SKYWARN Classes & Information!
Online SKYWARN Spotter Classes
In addition to the classes scheduled in your local area and the end-of-season, online Graduate Storm Spotter class, we will continue to conduct ONLINE Basic Spotter Courses. These online classes will allow individuals to complete the course in the comfort of their own home or office with the use of Go-To Meeting, a very user-friendly computer program. By simply signing up for the class, downloading the FREE software, and attending the 1.5 - 2 hour class, individuals (or a group of individuals) will become SKYWARN Spotters. The only requirement will be speakers on your computer to listen and if you want to ask questions, you will need to have a VOIP microphone. Additionally, they can be viewed on Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone and Android. To see when these classes will be held, scroll down or click here.
Though not a requirement, as a warm up to the spotter classes, NWS Birmingham would like those who plan on attending the online classes, or even our locally scheduled classes, to view the following FREE online training modules:
|The "Role of the SKYWARN® Spotter" module is used to provide baseline training for all spotters through multiple scenarios covering the procedures for spotting (including communication and storm report criteria), safety considerations for all hazards, and an overview of the national program and its history.
|The "SKYWARN® Spotter Convective Basics" module will guide users to a basic understanding of convective storms. Through three different scenarios, you will cover reporting and proper communication of local storm reports to the National Weather Service (NWS), personal safety during these events, and field identification of convective storm hazards. After completing the scenarios, you will be given the opportunity to practice identifying storm features from a spectrum of photos.
Locally Scheduled Basic SKYWARN Spotter Classes
Local, or on-site, basic storm spotter classes are scheduled each spring and fall. To schedule a Fall 2017 local Basic Storm Spotter class in your area, please contact your county Emergency Management Office.
Graduate Storm Spotter Class (GSC)
The Graduate Spotter Class (GSC) will be held twice a year after the completion of the Basic Spotter Classes each spring and fall. The GSC will be completed over the internet by way of a Webinar. Webinar allows you to sign on to the website and follow along as one of the NWS Meteorologists delves deep into the world of Meteorology. This will require you to have speakers on your computer. During and afterwards, you will be able to ask questions directly to the NWS Meteorologist, so a microphone is suggested, but not required.

SKYWARN Facts
SKYWARN is the National Weather Service (NWS) program of trained volunteer weather spotters. Storm spotters come from many walks of life, including fire fighters, law enforcement, and amateur radio operators. SKYWARN spotters coordinate with local emergency management officials and send reports of weather based phenomena to the NWS.
In addition to serving as a community's first line of defense against dangerous storms, spotters provide important information to warning forecasters who make critical warning decisions. SKYWARN storm spotters play a critical role of giving the NWS vital ground truth data, which helps the NWS perform its primary mission, to save lives and property.
Registration will be conducted prior to the beginning of each class. Spotter classes are not usually held during the summer months. Additional spotter classes may not be shown in the table above when scheduled for specific groups such as law enforcement training classes.

Beijing (AFP) July 02, 2013
US ambassador to China Gary Locke chatted with Buddhist monks, visited famous sites and mixed with locals on a rare trip to Tibet, photos released Tuesday showed.
The State Department announced that Locke was travelling in the Himalayan region from Tuesday to Friday last week.
It was the first time since September 2010 that Chinese authorities had granted a US ambassador access to tightly-controlled Tibet.
During the trip, Locke urged Chinese authorities to open the area up to tourists and diplomats and highlighted the importance of preserving Tibet's cultural heritage, the State Department said.
Security has been tightened and travel restrictions imposed in the Tibet Autonomous Region since deadly riots against Chinese rule erupted in March 2008 in the capital Lhasa and nearby areas.
Since 2009 China has been swept by a wave of self-immolations by Tibetans, with more than 100 setting themselves on fire and many dying in protests against Beijing.
Among the photos released by the US embassy on Tuesday, Locke could be seen walking up what appeared to be a steep stone pathway at a Buddhist monastery in the region known for its high elevation.
Other photos showed Locke, a former governor of the state of Washington and US commerce secretary, holding talks with Chen Quanguo, the Communist Party secretary of the Tibet Autonomous Region, visiting Lhasa's landmark Potala Palace and posing with Tibetan women and monks.

In today's paper, fellow Brussels Blogger Stanley Pignal has a nice scoop about a letter France and Germany sent to European Union officials announcing their formal objections to including Bulgaria and Romania in the Schengen area, the visa-free travel zone that most EU members are part of.
Traian Basescu, the Romanian president, has already responded this morning by calling the letter a "discriminatory act against Romania," and vowing to fight the move.
Because the issue could get even hotter, especially since the incoming Hungarian presidency had made Bulgarian and Romanian Schengen membership such a priority, we thought we should post the letter here, with some annotations of our own. Read more

Kerio has a few maximums set by default. There are also a few items that are not in the Kerio Connection Administration page. When using IMAP (and some other services), you can increase the maximum number of allowed connections to allow users to be able to connect to your servers using the variety of devices they likely now have. We'll look at doing this with IMAP (given that each account accessed by each user is likely using at minimum 2 connections) but you can do this with many other services as well.
To increase the total number of available IMAP connections:
Now, let's say that all of the IMAP connections are coming from what the server sees as the same IP (somewhat common with certain types of routers). Well, there's also a setting not exposed in the web configuration tool that limits the total number of connections available for a given IP address, so let's go ahead and increase that as well. To do so, open the mailserver.cfg file located in /usr/local/kerio/mailserver. Here, look in the service-imap table and find the MaxConnectionsIP variable. Change that to, let's say 300 and then save the changes and restart the IMAP service again. Now you're done. Good luck!

ALMOST two thousand women have signed up to take part in this year's Wirral Race For Life.
Proceeds from the Globe-backed event, in Birkenhead Park on July 27, will help fund life-saving work of Cancer Research UK.
Organisers are hoping 3600 will stride out on the day, to help raise £350,000. So far, 1859 have done so.
Jennifer Ward, northwest event manager for Cancer Research UK, said: "We are very grateful to the women who have already entered Race for Life at Wirral. But we still have places left so we are urging women to sign up as soon as possible.
"By raising money through Race for Life, people in the North West are helping Cancer Research UK's doctors, nurses and scientists make advances in research which will help more men, women and children survive."
Among those taking part is Amy Marsh, whose father Neal lost his battle to the disease in December 2000 aged 54.
Amy, 17, who will be running with sister Sam, said: "Taking part in Race for Life is my way of fighting back against cancer for taking my dad. I miss him every day.
"It's always an incredibly emotional event, but I know dad would be proud of me and that by taking part I'll be helping other families have more precious time with their loved ones.
"That's why I want women in the Wirral to join me, because united we are stronger than this terrible disease."
The Globe has been the event's official newspaper since 2006.
To add your name to the list of those signed up, visit www.raceforlife.org or call 0845 600 6050.
