WorldNetDaily repeated Willey's claim that "Clintons stole my manuscript," ignored her credibility problems
Research ››› ››› SARAH PAVLUS
A WorldNetDaily.com article reported that "Kathleen Willey, the woman who says Bill Clinton groped her in the Oval Office, claims she was the target of an unusual house burglary over the weekend that nabbed a manuscript for her upcoming book. ... [S]he believes the Clintons were behind it." Special Report with Brit Hume, Rush Limbaugh, and the New York Post all repeated the allegation that the Clintons were behind the purported burglary, and Special Report and the Post repeated Willey's earlier accusation about having been "groped" in 1993 by Bill Clinton. But none of these reports noted that independent counsel Robert W. Ray discredited Willey's allegations regarding Clinton in a formal report released on March 6, 2002, citing her inconsistent testimony regarding the alleged incident.
In a September 5 article headlined "Kathleen Willey: Clintons stole my manuscript," WorldNetDaily.com claimed: "Kathleen Willey, the woman who says Bill Clinton groped her in the Oval Office, claims she was the target of an unusual house burglary over the weekend that nabbed a manuscript for her upcoming book, which promises explosive revelations that could damage Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. Willey told WND little else was taken from her rural Virginia home as she slept alone upstairs -- electronics and jewelry were left behind -- and she believes the Clintons were behind it." After the publication of the WorldNetDaily article, Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume, nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh, and the New York Post's "Page Six" all picked up Willey's accusation that the Clintons were behind the purported burglary -- and in Limbaugh's case, adopted it. Further, both Special Report and "Page Six" noted Willey's earlier accusation that in 1993, then-President Bill Clinton made unwanted sexual advances toward her in the White House. However, the WorldNetDaily article and the other reports failed to note that independent counsel Robert W. Ray discredited Willey's allegations regarding Clinton in a formal report released on March 6, 2002, citing her inconsistent testimony regarding the alleged incident.
The WorldNetDaily article also stated, "Willey points out her story [that Clinton "groped her in the Oval Office"] was deemed credible by the FBI, Independent Counsel Ken Starr and CBS '60 Minutes' producers who allowed her to recount it in front of 29 million viewers." The article offered no evidence to back up Willey's claim of credibility. Nor did WorldNetDaily -- or other media reporting about the alleged theft, or about the book more generally -- note Ray's finding that Willey acknowledged giving false statements to the FBI or that Starr did not include Willey's account of her encounter with Clinton in his original report to Congress, which was released on September 9, 1998.
Moreover, WorldNetDaily reported: "The theft of the manuscript early Saturday morning was suspicious, she [Willey] told WND, coming only days after the first mainstream media mention of her upcoming book, which is expected to include accusations of campaign finance violations and new revelations about harassment and threats by the Clintons and their associates. ... Willey believes the break-in and theft were prompted by teasers of the book's contents published last week in [the August 26] U.S. News and World Report's "Washington Whispers" column and the [August 29] New York Daily News ["Gatecrasher" column]." However, Willey's book has been "mention[ed]" in the mainstream media as far back as 2005, and the book's release date has apparently been repeatedly delayed.
Willey's credibility
On the March 15, 1998, edition of CBS' 60 Minutes, Willey alleged that Bill Clinton fondled her against her will in 1993 during a private White House meeting in which she asked for a paid position in the administration. Clinton denied making any sexual advance toward Willey, consensual or otherwise. As Ray's report noted, "Because the alleged incident [between Willey and Clinton] arose in an employment context, Judge Susan Webber Wright ruled the allegations could be explored during discovery in Jones [v. Clinton]," the lawsuit in which Paula Jones claimed that Clinton sexually harassed her in an employment context.
According to Ray's report, Willey testified to the grand jury that she met with Clinton on November 29, 1993, and "recalled telling him [Clinton] 'there was a financial crisis in my family and that it was very, very serious, and that my days of volunteering were going to have to come to an end, that I really needed a job.' Willey said her demeanor was 'very emotional. ... I was crying, because I was worried.' " Willey claimed that at the end of their conversation, "it was getting a little tense -- well, a little inappropriate." The report continued, "She alleged that he then fondled her." From Ray's report:
President Clinton and Willey disagree on what happened at the end of their conversation. Willey testified, "Right as we got to the door, he stopped and he gave me a hug, which wasn't unusual, and he said, 'I'm so sorry that this is happening to you.' " Willey said President Clinton took the coffee cup from Willey and put it on a shelf, and that "he had [ ] his hands in my hair, and I was pulling away from him ... because I thought it was getting a little tense -- well, a little inappropriate." She alleged that he then fondled her. According to Willey, President Clinton also said, "You have no idea how much I wanted you to come and bring me the chicken soup and see me in Williamsburg that evening." Willey said, "Aren't you afraid somebody's going to walk in here?" He allegedly responded, "[N]o, I'm not."
Ray's report, however, pointed out that "Willey's Testimony to the Grand Jury About the Alleged Incident Differed Materially from Her Deposition Testimony Given in Jones v. Clinton," noting that Willey "said at her deposition ... that [Clinton] did not fondle her." Ray also found that Willey contradicted herself on the issue of whether she had told others about the alleged incident. According to Ray's report, Willey "claimed she had never talked to anyone other than [Newsweek reporter Michael] Isikoff, [attorney Dan] Gecker, and [Willey's friend Julie Hiatt] Steele about the details of the incident." But Ray concluded that Willey had, in fact, told several other people about the alleged encounter almost immediately after it happened:
Ruthie Eisen, a former White House volunteer, testified that Willey informed her of the incident the afternoon or evening of the day it occurred. Willey's friend Dianne Martin also testified that Willey called her on the day of the incident and told her about it. Willey saw Linda Tripp not long after the alleged incident, and Tripp later testified that Willey reported what happened.
Ray also wrote that Willey gave false information to the FBI:
The Independent Counsel agreed not to prosecute Willey for any offense arising out of the investigation, including false statements in her Jones deposition, so long as she cooperated fully and truthfully with the investigation. Following that first immunity agreement, Willey gave false information to the FBI about her sexual relationship with a former boyfriend, and acknowledged having lied about it when the agents confronted her with contradictory evidence. Following Willey's acknowledgement, the Independent Counsel agreed not to prosecute her for false statements in this regard.
Ray also noted that White House staffer Linda Tripp's story contradicted Willey's (as to whether any sexual encounter between Clinton and Willey was consensual) and suggested that a jury was unlikely to believe Willey:
Linda Tripp's testimony that Willey had a previous romantic interest in President Clinton (and appeared to view his alleged advances positively) departed from Willey's testimony. Tripp's cooperation with this Office in the Lewinsky investigation ultimately yielded evidence about President Clinton's conduct with Monica Lewinsky that was contrary to the President's testimony. Thus, evidence supplied by Linda Tripp regarding Willey that was consistent with President Clinton's testimony would likely be favorably received by a jury.
Even assuming Willey's testimony was truthful about the incident with President Clinton, her testimony at trial would be subject to further challenge based on the differences between her deposition and grand jury statements, as well as her acknowledgement of false statements to the Office of the Independent Counsel. Concerns about the probative effect of Willey's testimony would likely be sufficient to negate a conclusion that "the person [charged] probably will be found guilty by an unbiased trier of fact."
In short, there was insufficient evidence to prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that President Clinton's testimony regarding Kathleen Willey was false. Accordingly, the Independent Counsel declined prosecution and the investigation of potential criminal wrongdoing relating to Willey's allegations is now closed.
In a related trial, Julie Hiatt Steele was charged with obstruction of justice and accused of "making false statements that hindered an investigation into accusations by Kathleen E. Willey," according to a May 26, 1999, New York Times article. The proceedings ended in a mistrial. In a footnote to his report, Ray cited an Associated Press report in which one of the jurors from the Steele trial attacked Willey's credibility:
One of the jurors who voted for acquittal apparently did not believe Willey's testimony. See, e.g., Pete Yost, Retry Julie Hiatt Steele, Jury Foreman Tells Starr Panel Members Vote 9-3 To Convict, New Orleans Times-Picayune, May 23, 1999, at A8 (quoting one of the jurors who voted for acquittal as saying Willey had "'zero credibility'"). The Office decided not to pursue a retrial. The following month the Independent Counsel's motion to dismiss the indictment was granted.
From the article by AP writer Pete Yost:
A juror who voted to acquit Ms. Steele, Thomas Brown, said he felt the prosecutors' chief witness, Mrs. Willey, had "zero credibility."
"I've met liars before, but this is the first time I've met one with papers to prove it," said Brown, a career civil servant at the Treasury Department.
Brown pointed to testimony in this month's trial that after Mrs. Willey was granted immunity from prosecution by Starr's office, she was caught lying to prosecutors about a relationship she had with another man. Starr's investigators subsequently promised in writing a second time that Mrs. Willey wouldn't be prosecuted.
Brown also said Starr's case was "petty and mean-spirited."
"After hearing most of the evidence, I got to thinking this was the government taking the Thursday afternoon bridge club to federal court," said Brown.
Additionally, Ray noted that Willey was not consistent in her claims that she had been intimidated near her home, shortly before giving her Jones deposition in 1998. According to the report:
Willey also alleged that in the period immediately preceding her January 1998 Jones deposition, her cat disappeared, her tires were punctured, and a male jogger whom she did not recognize approached her at her rural home, called her by her name, and asked about her tires, cat (which he named), children (whom he named), attorney, and her attorney's children (whom he also named), saying "I hope you're getting the message" or "You're just not getting the message, are you?" Willey 3/6/98 Int. at 18; Willey 3/10/98 GJ at 123-27. At her Jones deposition, however, Willey testified no one had tried to discourage her from testifying. Willey 1/11/98 Depo. at 86-87.
Willey told the grand jury that even though she was "terrified for my safety" because of these incidents, "I did give consideration to maybe not -- maybe not being very truthful in [her Jones v. Clinton] deposition because I thought that my -- that people close to me were in jeopardy." Willey 3/10/98 GJ at 170-71. Despite the threats, Willey told the grand jury, she "decided that I had to tell the truth" at her deposition. Willey 3/10/98 GJ at 127. As noted below, see infra p. 92 and notes 50-52, there were material differences between Willey's deposition testimony and what she told the grand jury about the incident between her and President Clinton.
Ray also wrote, "This Office investigated whether [Nathan] Landow [a Democratic fundraiser and Clinton supporter] or others had engaged in any criminal acts such as obstruction of justice or witness intimidation with respect to Willey, and determined there was insufficient evidence to support the filing of criminal charges."
The September 5 WorldNetDaily article resurrected Willey's old claims of intimidation without question, reporting: "The break-in, she said, reminded her of the widely reported incident 10 years ago in which she claimed she was threatened near the same Richmond-area home by a stranger just two days before she was to testify against President Clinton in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case." WorldNetDaily also reported Willey's book "promises explosive revelations that could damage Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign" and added: "Among its revelations is Willey's identification of the person who threatened her just prior to her testimony against President Clinton -- a man who turned out to be linked to the Clintons."
On the September 6 edition of Special Report, host Brit Hume also noted that Willey "accused President Clinton of groping her in the Oval Office back in 1993" and mentioned her earlier claims of intimidation by the Clintons, saying: "Willey has accused the Clinton camp of intimidation tactics in the past and now tells WorldNetDaily, quote, 'It's the same thing that happened before. They want you to know they were there. They pretty much managed to terrorize me again.' " On the September 6 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Limbaugh noted Willey's belief that the Clintons stole her manuscript, and added: "Believe me, ladies and gentlemen, as I've said countless times -- when it happens when the Clintons are involved, there is no coincidence." Meanwhile, the Post's "Page Six" item on Willey's allegations reported that she "says he [Bill Clinton] and his senator wife, Hillary, are up to more dirty tricks."
Book publicity
The "first mainstream media mention" of Willey's book was in the "Washington Whispers" column from the October 10, 2005, issue of U.S. News & World Report -- a mention touted by Willey's publisher, World Ahead Publishing, in an October 2005 press release, when the book had, according World Ahead, "a release date scheduled for August 2006." The book was also mentioned in an October 27, 2005, Associated Press report on Willey's visit that month to the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Arkansas, paid for by World Ahead. In 2005, the publisher was also promoting Candice E. Jackson's book Their Lives: The Women Targeted by the Clinton Machine, which featured a chapter on Willey. Willey, Jackson, and Juanita Broaddrick, who alleged Clinton sexually assaulted her in 1978 and was also prominently featured in Jackson's book, toured the Clinton Library together, their trip and admission courtesy of World Ahead, according to the AP. As the September 5 WorldNetDaily article noted, World Ahead Publishing is "WND Books' partner." WND Books is WorldNetDaily's publishing imprint; World Ahead was named WND Books' partner in October 2006.
Subsequently, Willey's book release was apparently delayed a year, until August 2007. The July 2007 edition of Washingtonian magazine reported that Willey's book would be released in "August 2007," and according to Amazon.com, the book was scheduled to be released on August 30, 2007.
The release was then apparently delayed again. According to the September 5 WorldNetDaily article and the Daily News' August 29 "Gatecrasher" column, Willey's book will be released in November 2007. According to Amazon.com, the book is currently scheduled to be released on November 27, 2007.
From the September 5 WorldNetDaily article:
Kathleen Willey, the woman who says Bill Clinton groped her in the Oval Office, claims she was the target of an unusual house burglary over the weekend that nabbed a manuscript for her upcoming book, which promises explosive revelations that could damage Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
Willey told WND little else was taken from her rural Virginia home as she slept alone upstairs -- electronics and jewelry were left behind -- and she believes the Clintons were behind it.
The break-in, she said, reminded her of the widely reported incident 10 years ago in which she claimed she was threatened near the same Richmond-area home by a stranger just two days before she was to testify against President Clinton in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case.
The theft of the manuscript early Saturday morning was suspicious, she told WND, coming only days after the first mainstream media mention of her upcoming book, which is expected to include accusations of campaign finance violations and new revelations about harassment and threats by the Clintons and their associates.
"Here we go again; it's the same thing that happened before," Willey told WND. "They want you to know they were there. And they got what they wanted. They pretty much managed to terrorize me again. It scared me to death. It's an awful feeling to know you're sound asleep upstairs and someone is downstairs."
The book, "Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton" by World Ahead Publishing, WND Books' partner, is due for release in November. Willey said the stolen manuscript was not the book's final copy.
Among its revelations is Willey's identification of the person who threatened her just prior to her testimony against President Clinton -- a man who turned out to be linked to the Clintons.
Willey believes the break-in and theft were prompted by teasers of the book's contents published last week in U.S. News and World Report's "Washington Whispers" column and the New York Daily News.
Willey said she is writing the book because of persistent misunderstanding about what happened 10 years ago.
"There is so much misinformation out there, and I had been so badly maligned in the press," she said. "I had the opportunity to set the record straight.
"And frankly," she added, "Hillary Clinton is running for president, and it's a story a lot of people should hear."
Willey points out her story was deemed credible by the FBI, Independent Counsel Ken Starr and CBS "60 Minutes" producers who allowed her to recount it in front of 29 million viewers.
Longtime Clinton lawyer David Kendall was not available for immediate response to Willey's new claims, and Sen. Clinton's presidential campaign has not responded.
From the New York Daily News' August 29 "Gatecrasher" column:
Kathleen Willey, who famously alleged that Bill Clinton fondled her in the Oval Office in 1993, is hoping to return to the national spotlight.
The former White House volunteer is set to publish "Target: In the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton" through the conservative World Ahead press in November.
"The timing is intended to hurt Hillary in her Democratic primary campaign, by getting negative stories out there," according to a source.
The book promises new details on what Willey claims were physical and verbal threats from the "Clinton machine" to silence her allegations of sexual assault. A rep for the publisher told us the book would also examine what it says are campaign-finance violations by Hillary.
Among the other piquant claims expected to be revived are that Clinton agents slashed Willey's tires, as well as kidnapped (and probably murdered) her cat.
From the U.S. News & World Report's August 26 "Washington Whispers" column:
Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign isn't only a boon for conservative fundraisers and critics. Those who have a bone to pick with Bubba or his wife are also planning to use the campaign to air their grievances again. First up: Kathleen Willey, who alleges that President Clinton pawed her in the Oval Office, then bullied her so that she wouldn't tell. Clinton denies her story. Willey adds to her allegations in Target: In the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Why write it now? "I was so misrepresented and maligned and I know it was a while back, but I think this is a real important time with elections coming up to tell this story."
From the September 6 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume:
HUME: Kathleen Willey -- who, you may recall, accused President Clinton of groping her in the Oval Office back in 1993 -- is now blaming what she calls "Clinton operatives" for the theft of a manuscript for her upcoming book about her experiences with the Clintons.
Willey says someone broke into her rural home outside Richmond, Virginia, Friday and took a copy of the book, then tried to make it look like a botched burglary.
Willey has accused the Clinton camp of intimidation tactics in the past and now tells WorldNetDaily, quote, "It's the same thing that happened before. They want you to know they were there. They pretty much managed to terrorize me again."
Willey says she does have another copy of the manuscript, which is entitled Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton. It's due out in November.
From the September 6 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: Kathleen Willey, the manuscript for her book to be published in November has been stolen. She's convinced a Clinton operative has stolen her manuscript. Believe me, ladies and gentlemen, as I've said countless times -- when it happens when the Clintons are involved, there is no coincidence.
From the September 7 edition of the New York Post's "Page Six":
KATHLEEN Willey, who claimed Bill Clinton groped her in the Oval Office in 1993, says he and his senator wife, Hillary, are up to more dirty tricks. Willey tells World Net Daily she was recently the target of a burglar who broke into her house and swiped a manuscript of her new book, which contains revelations that could supposedly damage Hillary's presidential bid. "Here we go again," Willey told WND. "It scared me to death. It's an awful feeling to know you're sound asleep upstairs and someone is downstairs." "Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton" will hit stores in November. A rep for the Clintons had no comment.
From an October 5, 2005, press release by World Ahead Publishing:
Kathleen Willey, one-time political fundraiser and former Clinton White House employee, will author a book revealing the campaign of threats and intimidation she faced at the hands of Clinton's operatives. The book will be published by Los Angeles-based World Ahead Publishing, with a release date scheduled for August 2006.
News of Willey's upcoming book was first made public in Paul Bedard's "Washington Whispers" column in the current issue of "US News & World Report." The reporter noted that Senator Clinton's office refused to comment on the issue.
From the October 10, 2005, issue of U.S. News & World Report, Paul Bedard's "Washington Whispers" column:
Right as she steps up her 2006 re-election campaign, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton will face new criticism stemming from a years-old event. Kathleen Willey Schwicker, who says she was groped in the Oval Office by President Clinton as she sought a job, tells us she is going to release a new book that slams Hillary for not stopping the White House spin machine from crushing her. "It's not so much about the incident but about what they would do to an ordinary American woman," she tells us. "Hillary Clinton champions herself for female workers' rights and for women, but she doesn't. She didn't support the women involved in all of Clinton's messes."
From an October 27, 2005, AP article:
Two women who accused former President Clinton of sexual misconduct say they've been targeted by a campaign of intimidation intended to silence them.
A publisher of a book critical of Clinton and his wife Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., paid for the trip by Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broddrick [sic] to visit the Clinton Presidential Library on Wednesday.
"If she (Mrs. Clinton) is such a champion of women and women's rights and women's empowerment, then she needs to explain her role in what they tried to do to us," said Willey, who said the former president fondled her when she met privately with him outside the Oval Office to seek a job in November 1993.
Willey, a real estate agent in Powhatan, Va., said she wanted to see how Clinton's official schedule accounted for his time on the afternoon of Nov. 29, 1993, the time of the alleged assault.
An electronic schedule listed the time between noon and 3 p.m. as "lunch, phone and office time."
The women's trip and $7 library admission were paid for by World Ahead Publishing. The women were accompanied by Candice Jackson, a Los Angeles attorney and author of "Their Lives: The Women Targeted by the Clinton Machine." Willey said World Ahead would also publish a book she is writing.
Willey said the museum complex brought back good memories. "I don't regret those days. It was a wonderful experience marred by one horribly tragic day," she said.
From the July 2007 issue of Washingtonian magazine:
Tired of Hillary Clinton? Then enjoy July, because it's the only pause in books about her for the rest of the year.
Few women in the world have been as closely examined, or as frequently attacked, as the former first lady and would-be president. Ever since the 1993 book Hillary Rodham Clinton: A First Lady for Our Time by Donnie Radcliffe, a cottage industry of Hillary books has sprung up.

Our favorite part of the book was when Lizzie and Dawn went to the camp bus in the dark looking for Dawn's shell mirror and they heard a strange noise followed by a SCREAM because they worked together as friends even though they used each other's things without asking. We liked the beginning of the story because we also give our parents a hard time about going to camp! We liked the book because we enjoy solving mysteries and we like Dell Young Yearling books. In every Dell Young Yearling book Dawn Bosco is in each of the books and always solves the mysteries in them. Also, in all the books, she finds new friends in the books and solves mysteries with them.
As we read the book we wanted to know the end, because we wanted to know who was behind the mysteries.
We recommend this book to kids who are beginning readers and almost advanced readers. People who like to solve mysteries should read this book. This is a great book for children all over the world to share with their families everywhere. If you see any of the other Dell Young Yearling books, pick them up and read them. Also, if you see them at a bookstore, ask you mom and dad if you can buy them. There are so many varieties to chose from you will never stop reading them. You will also keep learning, learning 'till you can't learn any more.

If you are ever searching for a great white shark, look no further than the OCEARCH Global Shark Tracker, which provides the location of all the tagged great white sharks in the world. The sharks have been tagged with a tracker that communicates with research satellites, telling scientists the shark's location.
Great white sharks live throughout the oceans of the world, anywhere the water is between 54 and 75 degrees. They aren't uncommon off the coast of the U.S.
The researchers have posted all the GPS data from the sharks they track online, where you can see the latest blip from the trackers on a map, and dive into any individual shark's previous blips, which indicate where they have been in the past.
From this, we can see there's a great white shark named Mary Lee that's been swimming up and down the East Coast since September. She is currently off the coast of New Jersey. Mary Lee is a 16-foot-long female Great White shark weighing almost 3500 pounds. She was first tagged in Cape Cod on 17 September, and the researchers have been tracking her ever since. Here's where she's been since then:
A second female shark, name Genie, was also tagged in Cape Cod, and has since settled off the coast of South Carolina. The rest of the sharks that have been tagged by the researchers are hanging out at the tip of South Africa or near Madagascar. Take a look at the map for yourself. Here's the latest:

Behind The Scenes: Bananas Foster French Toast at Brenda's French Soul Food, SF
"Bananas Foster was actually created in New Orleans," explained Big Easy native Brenda Buenviaje as I stood among trays of mile-high biscuits and cans of Steen's Syrup in the kitchen of her restaurant, Brenda's French Soul Food. "It was at a local institution, Brennan's. Bananas were everywhere because it's a big port city and rum, well..." she trailed off, smiling, and anyone who's been to New Orleans knows there's no explanation needed for how booze might end up in a dish.
Most people are familiar with Bananas Foster because of its wow-factor. Bananas are cooked in butter and sugar, then flambéd, often-tableside, with rum. In the original dish, the bananas are served over ice cream. It's one plate dinner theater and it's undeniably fun to watch.
Brenda's may be best known for its brunch, which includes Southern favorites like beignets, shrimp and grits, and an oyster Hangtown Fry. So it makes sense that Buenviaje would combine Bananas Foster with a breakfast favorite—French Toast.
Click through the slideshow to see how this New Orleans-inspired dish is made.

This question came up in my homework (but was not a homework problem). The problem was proving one direction of the Heine-Borel theorem. As with all proofs of compactness, one begins with, "Suppose $A$ is closed and bounded, and $\mathcal{U}$ is an open cover ..." My proof, which I believe is typical, constructed a convergent sequence of points and derived a contradiction. The problem: to construct a sequence, one needs the cover to be countable.
So I invoked that second-countability implies Lindelöf. This is not controversial, of course, but I included a little argument along the lines of the answers in this question: Every open cover has a countable subcover (Lindelöf's lemma).
In particular, for each $x\in A$ there is some $U$ in $\mathcal{U}$ with $x\in U$; second-countability implies for each $x\in A$ there is some basis element $Q$ with $x\in Q\subset U$; the set of all such $Q$ covers $A$ and each $Q\subset U$ for at least one $U\in\mathcal{U}$, so picking one $U\supset Q$ for each $Q$ gives a countable cover of $A$.
I noticed that the answers in that thread included similar phrases: "Now for each $B\in\mathcal{B}U$ choose some $U(B)\in U$ such that $B\subseteq U$", "for each element $O$ of $\Sigma$ choose an element $U$ of $\Omega$ containing it"
My argument and the arguments suggested in the thread linked both seem to assume the Axiom of Choice. I'm not sure that I understand the axiom of choice, though. So, two questions:
1) Are we actually using the axiom of choice in these arguments?
2) Does (second countable) $\Rightarrow$ (Lindelöf) require the axiom of choice?

I was reading online the other day what Rick Perry Republican Party presidential candidate hopeful would like to do. Reading it I was surprised
that the man would even consider doing such things. But then again, this shows you just how far
the so called "Republican Party" has gone to the right.
Now I grew up in Houston in the only congressional district in Texas, if not the country that carried Berry Goldwater in the 1964 Presidential campaign. In fact, I remember when Daddy Bush was a
local congressman. Just FYI, Ellington
Field was where his son's Air National Guard unit was stationed, which by the
way, was in his congressional district.
Daddy was all for stopping communism, but only if other sons of less
influential and non-politically connected families would and could do it. I have a cousin who has a lovely Purple Heart
he got in South Vietnam because it was "expected" that he serve, as his father
had during WWII.
Well, besides that sore point with me…
Perry would like to do away with having WE THE PEOPLE VOTE WHO WE WANT TO REPRESENT US IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE. Now originally, US
Senators were chosen by the individual states government. This was done away with in the late 1800's. They were in short, political appointees.
But due to various things, like, oh corruption and the like, an amendment to the Constitution was made, and passed. The people, not
the likes of Tammany Hall, would choose their Senators.
Also Perry would like to see that any ruling by the US Supreme Court could be overturned by 2/3 of the Congress. So much for the "Checks
and Balances" in our form of government.
So many things, like citizens' RIGHTS would be so easily taken away. A woman's right to abortion, Rights Warning
statements to those being arrested, trial by jury, access to the courts, the
right to vote even.
If you think I'm off base here…just go scan the Patriot Act. Warrantless searches….yup….check it out. Just like they use to have in the former USSR. Searches without warrants…..and ya know…it
was all due to the needs of "NATIONAL SECURITY" too….
Then there is the balanced budget he'd like have made part of the Constitution. Well, here in Texas it is part of the Texas Constitution. And every year, it has to
be balanced. Now mind you a couple of
years ago it wasn't. But it did get
balanced. You see, what the Texas State
government does is shift a lot of things down to the counties to handle. Therefore, people are still taxed for these
things, but on the county level and not the state.
Oh, by the way, with the end of Reconstruction back in the 1800s, after the Civil War, Texas wrote a new state Constitution. In there
was the Balanced Budget part. This hasn't
changed in about 140 years. Rick Perry
had nothing to do with it. Sorry Ricky.
But this isn't the first time we've had this attempt….let's hop into our time machine and go back to the 1980's…….
The Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (99th Congress, S.1702, Pub.L. 99-177, title II, December 12, 1985, 99 Stat. 1038, 2 U.S.C. § 900) and Budget
and Emergency Deficit Control Reaffirmation Act of 1987 (Pub.L.
100-119, title I, Sept. 29, 1987, 101 Stat. 754, 2 U.S.C. § 900) (both often
known as Gramm-Rudman) were, according to U.S.
Senator Phil
Gramm of Texas,
"the first binding constraint imposed on federal spending, and its
spending caps have become part of every subsequent U.S. budget. Together with a
rapidly growing economy it produced the first balanced federal budget in a
quarter of a century."
President Reagan signed the bill on August 21, 1986.
The Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 supplanted the fixed deficit targets.
Balanced budgets did not actually emerge until the late 1990s when budget surpluses (not accounting for liabilities to the Social Security Trust Fund) emerged.
….now what is not being brought up is that the Republican Party controlled the Congress and Senate from 1994 until 2006. With G. W. Bush in the White House, the Republican Party controlled all three from 2001 until 2006.
Now while I do hold the Democrats as responsible for the unbridled spending, the Republicans were in control and charge.
So this idea of a balanced budget amendment kind of throws me. And when I would mention this in chat room and on bulletin boards
online, I was told that my "tin foil hat" was on too tight. Or that with inflation, the cost will be
And of course, there is the "abortion" issue. Mr. Perry wants to stop all abortion. This broken record
has been the battle cry for the so called Republican Party since the 1992. When the Republicans saw that the Christian
Coalition had Political Action Committees (PAC) which could generate more money
the "god", and the preachers would tell their followers who to vote for, thus
giving them a "block" vote, they quickly rolled onto their back, spread their
legs and cried, "TAKE ME!"
Prior to this the idea of a women not having access to birth control, weather prescription or through medical procedures was not acceptable nor taken lightly. I watched older women who grew up when birth
control pills were only a day dream, and abortions were done in backrooms fight
tooth and nail to protect their rights to have control over their bodies. My mother was one of them.
So when I look at Perry, I just see a slick politician who plays the religious card BIG TIME. And what is so sad, these religious people just don't see or want to see how they are being played. Sad.
It's really sad.
But like the old Wobbly union song use to go, "work all day and live on hay, and when you die there will be pie in the sky…"
I think I'd like to have my pie now, thank you.

More scary than the fact that Dubya 2.0 is running is that he has a realistic shot of becoming president. Scarier still, he's already hated in China, Russia and Europe, which does not bode well for the international standing of the US.

This section describes how to use the Administration Console to connect to and manage message brokers.
You cannot start a broker using the Administration Console. Instead, use one of the following methods:
On Solaris, enter the command
On Linux, enter the command
On Windows, navigate to IMQ_HOME\bin and run the imqbrokerd executable.
For example, use the Windows Explorer to navigate to IMQ_HOME\bin and then double-click imqbrokerd.
If you used the Windows Start menu, the command window will appear, indicating that the broker is ready by displaying lines like the following:
Loading persistent data... Broker "imqbroker@stan:7676 ready.
Reactivate the Administration Console window. You are now ready to add the broker to the Console and connect to it. You do not have to start the broker before adding a reference to it in the Administration Console, but you must start it before you can connect to it.
Adding a broker creates a reference to that broker in the Administration Console. After adding the broker, you can connect to it.
Click on the Brokers item in the Administration Console window's navigation pane and choose Add Broker from the Actions menu.
Alternatively, you can right-click on Brokers and choose Add Broker from the pop-up context menu. In either case, the Add Broker dialog box (Figure 2–3) will appear.
Enter a name for the broker in the Broker Label field.
This provides a label that identifies the broker in the Administration Console.
Note the default host name (localhost) and primary port ( 7676) specified in the dialog box. These are the values you must specify later, when you configure the connection factory that the client will use to create connections to this broker.
For this exercise, type the name MyBroker into the Broker Label field. Leave the Password field blank; your password will be more secure if you specify it at connection time.
Click OK to add the broker and dismiss the dialog box.
The new broker will appear under Brokers in the navigation pane, as shown in Figure 2–4. The red X over the broker's icon indicates that it is not currently connected to the Administration Console.
Once you have added a broker, you can use the Properties command on the Actions menu (or the pop-up context menu) to display a Broker Properties dialog box, similar to the Add Broker dialog shown in Adding a Broker to the Administration Console, to view or modify any of its properties.
Now that you have added a broker to the Administration Console, you can proceed to connect to it.
Click on the broker's name in the Administration Console window's navigation pane and choose Connect to Broker from the Actions menu.
Alternatively, you can right-click on the broker's name and choose Connect to Broker from the pop-up context menu. In either case, the Connect to Broker dialog box ( Figure 2–5) will appear.
Enter the user name and password with which to connect to the broker.
The dialog box initially displays the default user name, admin . In a real-world environment, you should establish secure user names and passwords as soon as possible (see User Authentication); for this exercise, simply use the default value.
The password associated with the default user name is also admin; type it into the Password field in the dialog box. This will connect you to the broker with administrative privileges.
Click OK to connect to the broker and dismiss the dialog box.
Once you have connected to the broker, you can use the commands on the Actions menu (or the context menu) to perform the following operations on a selected broker:
Pause Broker temporarily suspends the operation of a running broker.
Resume Broker resumes the operation of a paused broker.
Restart Broker reinitializes and restarts a broker.
Shut Down Broker terminates the operation of a broker.
Query/Update Broker displays or modifies a broker's configuration properties.
Disconnect from Broker terminates the connection between a broker and the Administration Console.
A broker is distinguished by the connection services it provides and the physical destinations it supports.
Select Services under the broker's name in the Administration Console window's navigation pane.
A list of the available services will appear in the result pane (see Figure 2–6), showing the name, port number, and current state of each service.
Select a service by clicking on its name in the result pane.
For this exercise, select the name jms.
Choose Properties from the Actions menu.
The Service Properties dialog box (Figure 2–7) will appear. You can use this dialog box to assign the service a static port number and to change the minimum and maximum number of threads allocated for it.
For this exercise, do not change any of the connection service's properties.
Click OK to accept the new property values and dismiss the dialog box.
The Actions menu also contains commands for pausing and resuming a service. If you select the admin service and pull down the Actions menu, however, you will see that the Pause Service command is disabled. This is because the admin service is the Administration Console's link to the broker: if you paused it, you would no longer be able to access the broker.

[np_storybar title="Video: Click here to watch the vicious dinner scene from Only God Forgives (Warning: Extremely foul language, adult themes)" link="#1″]
When it comes to conjuring up the most mean-spirited insults a mother could hurl at her son, leave it to Ryan Gosling.
In his latest film, Only God Forgives, the Canadian actor plays a drug-smuggling mama's boy. In one scene, his character is humiliated by his mother at dinner after he brings a hooker, posing as his girlfriend, to meet mom — played by Kristin Scott Thomas.
Gosling said the embarrassments heaped on his character — including comments about his anatomical shortcomings — weren't originally in the script.
All I can remember was there was these huge pages and pages of words, and some of them were very, very difficult to say
"She had to emasculate me and so she asked me to help, which I thought was funny. We just worked together and I told her all the things that she could say to me that would be sort of castrating," Gosling said, smiling. "She has that whole crazy rant."
The actress said while it was fun to play the villainous character, the darkness in her soul was "debilitating and wears you down."
And then there's the dinner scene.
"All I can remember was there was these huge pages and pages of words, and some of them were very, very difficult to say," Scott Thomas said. "He (Gosling) came up with that dialogue, believe me."
Scott Thomas said it takes a certain type of actor to be able to handle some of the more sensitive comments hurled at his character.
"You can rely on him. He's not going to flake. He's not going to suddenly stop being in the scene. He's not going to judge you by the way you're interpreting something," Scott Thomas said of Gosling, adding: "To have somebody that I could completely rely on to be there and not kind of laugh … was sort of helpful."

To the EDN
The American Red Cross would like to thank everyone who came to the Duhigg center on Tuesday, May 1 to donate at the blood drive. We were able to collect 52 units of life saving blood at this drive. That is enough to potentially save 156 lives. Wow! Thank you!
Cat Nicol was awarded her 1 gallon pin, that is eight donations. Marcia Klingbeil acieved six gallons and Jennifer Lesieur achieved seven gallons. Between these three ladies 112 units of life have been donated to the red cross . Enough to impact 336 lives! It takes so little time and causes much good in our world. Thank you!
We also want to thank GKN for so generously sponsoring this blood drive. If not for our sponsors in the community the Red Cross would have to provide drinks and snacks. I am pleased to remind the Red Cross at every drive that Estherville provides refreshments for OUR blood drives!
While we were at the Duhigg Center, we were able to watch the movers begin to move the old convent (Nash Center). They did not get far that day, but have you ever seen a brick building move even a few feet? It was quite an experience and the Red Cross staff were enthralled to be able to watch even a little of it.
The Red Cross will be returning to Estherville on Tuesday, Aug 7, so please mark your calendars and come join us in saving a life or ten!!
Thanks again Estherville.

Hi all
I am isolating rna from a legume and following the GITC method. What i am unable to understand is that the pellet I get after isopropanol addition is yellow and stays yellow after 70% ethanol wash. I run the rna in formaldehyde gel and the quality of rna is good. Is the rna sample containing some contaminants ? Will it interfere in RT-PCR?
Plz help

This once happened to me when using old isopropanol for precipitation. Although I didn`t observe any problems concerning RNA quality, I would repeat RNA isolation if possible using fresh isoprop.
Posted 05 January 2011 - 12:47 PM
I would suspect phenolic contamination (from the legume) of the RNA, it may or may not interfere with down-stream applications.

Over the last few days I have been looking into the US - Russian relations, and the strain is more than evident. Before getting into that however, it would be prudent to address the fact that there are many issues, so many issues right now that are affecting the world globally, and the US domestically that history should be looked at. If for nothing more than trying to initiate a "lesson learned" philosophy. The US's actions, policies, and subsequent global aggression has triggered world wide events, alliances and domestic outcries that can no longer be ignored.
Instead of ignoring, the US has decided to forcefully quiet the masses, using subtle techniques of fear and spying, the same as they did in the 1950s. In a related post a keen observer in the comment section noted that HR 1955/S 1959 was the spawn of HUAC, a committee abolished in 1975. The HUAC, or House Un-American Activities Counsel, was in charge of first researching, then ferreting out, and eventually fully prosecute Communists in the US, as they were deemed "A clear, present and continuing danger to National Security"[1] It should be noted here, that much like the HR 1955 and S 1959 act currently on the table, the HUAC was in charge, prior to the Communist Control Act of 1954, of studying the Communist Party and its members to determine the danger they pose, if any. (Ahem what is the "commission's" duties with regards to HR 1955?).
In the 1940's and 50's Senator McCarthy frantically hunted down Communists, and insisted that the government do the same. Many Americans, and members of the government felt that he went too far, and didn't support his actions, at first. After the "Red Tide" came sweeping through the world, and countries were taking on not only Communist governments, but uprisings, strikes, and protests world wide were occurring with a very anti-capitalistic tone (at the very least) that made the US worry about her own survival. Even in the US Communist and Socialist tendencies, organizations, and sympathizers were gaining support after the Great Depression. Citizens began to understand the inherent flaws of capitalism, and wanted something a little more secure for their children.
Enter in the Internal Securities Act of 1950, an act that brought about the HUAC, and forced Communist and Communist leaning businesses, fronts or organizations to register with the government. In 1954 came the Communist Control Act, and the hunting began in earnest. HUAC detained, questioned and held citizens in contempt if they choose not to answer their questions, or were hesitant in answering. Pamphlets were passed out nation wide explaining to the regular population why they should be anti-Communist, who Communists were, and where they could be hiding. People were expected to turn other citizens in.
The propaganda machine was running at full tilt, explaining that Communists were dangerous, violent, and spying on the government in efforts to overthrow it and turn America into the destitute tyranny of Communist oppression. Two individuals, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, were detained, and subjected to a tainted trial, and eventually executed by the electric chair. Even after Global appeals were made on their behalf, the US pulled the lever. It was, as Howard Zinn put it "a demonstration to the people of the country, though very few could identify with the Rosenbergs, of what lay at the end of the line for those the government decided were traitors." [2]
So it was.
Other categories and organizations that fell victim to the anti-Communist hysteria included; Ku Klux Klan, The Chopin Cultural Center, the Cervantes Fraternal Society, the Committee for the Negro in the Arts, the Committee for the Protection of the Bill of Rights, the League of American Writers, the Nature Friends of America, People's Drama, the Washington Bookshop Association, and the Yugoslavia Seaman's Club. [3]
Is this beginning to sound familiar?
This, at a time when the president did not suspend Habeas Corpus, this at a time when "terrorism" wasn't a household word with groups dedicated for the sole purpose of studying it, it's effects, and causes in order to prevent further attacks. This, at a time when our constitution still had at least a few teeth.
What does this have to do with our laws today?
Quite frankly, everything. The proposal shortly coming to the Senate for review and voting will create the same propaganda driven hysteria that the "Red Scare" did in the 50's. Only this time it will be the "Red and Black, Islamic, Arabic, and Single Issue Scare". This time, the net that will be cast to catch citizens who are "Un-American" will be much greater in size and strength. Communists, Socialists, Anarchists, Muslims, followers of Islam, and any other "fringe" groups are already being painted as a dangerous threat to National Security.
Only this time around, instead of having some modicum of protection or oversight, we have this blanket term "terrorism" which has become the broadly used code word for "anything goes".
Our country has done it before.
They will do it again.
In the next installment I will be focusing, not on the Thought Crime Bill, but rather on world politics, and steadily growing alliances, all of which are serious cause for concern. It does tie into all of this however, as everything in life is inherently linked. If our cries are silenced, our voices not heard, our wills imprisoned, we will be powerless to stop what lays ahead.

Very Good Anok! Sadly as you know, Bush is not done yet and has yet to cause his greatest damage. He has expounded on the Communist damage and gains as well as the nazi's, all Fascist's before him. He allowed 9/11 so he could amasse all the power he needs to control us regardless of State Politicians, Congress or anyone so he can follow his new societal and world order forever war.
He now is searching for his excuse. Maybe it is the economic collapse that is just starting. Otherwise everything he has done around the world including the missile shield is designed to instigate Russia and others to get pissed and Bush can appear forced to have to fight this new (dis)order forever war he has instigated. It won't be long now!

Thanks Jim, I am getting ready to write about the debacle with US Russian relations after the kiddo goes to bed. Scary stuff...everyone is threatening to use nuclear weapons....
- January 21, 2008 at 6:03 PM
As usual, great piece. So what the heck are we going to do. I mean, those of us that are paying attention are outraged, but most people are willfully oblivious, or simply think that I am a nut. I have been writing letters and sending e-mails and making phone calls to senators, congressmen, committee members, etc. to the point that I am honestly feeling a bit discouraged. They all seem to be either willfully oblivious or totally complicit(with a very few exceptions.) Starting to think about heading south, way south. They seem to like socialists down there.
Been doing a little research on this Russia thing as well. The recent threats from Russia are both very real and very frightening. Russia and Iran are not simply allies. Keep in mind that Russia is a parent state to Iran. Russia sponsored their statehood and will continue to support them as a state.

Hey Sage! Thanks for stopping by....
I have been wracking my brain for answers to all of this. I've come up with great ideas, unfortunately none of them will work because our government refuses to let them work. I agree about Russia, and I'm still working on posting about that (just one more cup of coffee first.....)
For the record, We are saving up to go to Iceland. It is socialistic, Christian but totally tolerant and widely accepting of Pagans (YAY! thats more than respect than we get here, in the supposed land of free religion), It was listed as the fourth happiest country in the world, low unemployment, great programs (high taxes though...there's always a catch) and gorgeous, just gorgeous landscapes. And it's cold - which I like a lot.
I say you should come with us, you in? LOL. Seriously though, I'm thinkin we need to get our passports in order before the country buckles down McCarthy style.

Wikipedia about the decline of HUAC:
The committee lost considerable prestige after it subpoenaed Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman of the Yippies in 1967, and again in the aftermath of the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Unlike previous subjects of the committee's investigations, the Yippies neither respected nor feared the committee, and used media attention to make a mockery of the proceedings. Rubin came to one session dressed as an American Revolutionary War soldier, and passed out copies of the United States Declaration of Independence to people in attendance. Then Rubin "blew giant gum bubbles while his co-witnesses taunted the committee with Nazi salutes."[8] Hoffman attended a session dressed as Santa Claus. On another occasion, police stopped Hoffman at the building entrance and arrested him for wearing an American flag. Hoffman quipped for the press, "I regret that I have but one shirt to give for my country," paraphrasing the last words of revolutionary patriot Nathan Hale; meanwhile Rubin, who was wearing a matching Viet Cong flag, shouted that the police were communists for not arresting him also.[9]

Hence the birth of modern day street player protests?
I'm aware that the counsel lost prestige and support....they even changed the name before dying a slow and painful death....
What is disturbing however, is that the main players, the key agitators, were hardly held responsible for such a devastating blow to constitutional rights. McCarthy was charged with "Behavior unbecoming of a congressman" and Nixon went on to be president......

Society Disappointed Federal Government Voted Against Asbestos Motion
06 December 2012
Toronto -
The Canadian Cancer Society is deeply disappointed and frustrated that a motion to protect Canadians from asbestos was defeated in the House of Commons on December 5.
Conservative and Bloc Quebecois Members of Parliament voted against an NDP motion (M-381), introduced by François Lapointe, calling for:
"All forms of asbestos cause cancer and the Society is very concerned about Canada's lack of leadership on this important health issue," says Paul Lapierre, Vice President, Public Affairs and Cancer Control, Canadian Cancer Society. "It's imperative that the health of Canadians and people around the world be put first."
Worldwide about 107,000 people die every year from disease related to occupational exposure to asbestos.
The Society has been actively lobbying the federal government for several years to protect Canadians and people around the world from asbestos and we will continue to work hard to end exposure to asbestos.In particular we will maintain pressure on the federal government to fulfill its promise to no longer oppose the inclusion of chrysotile asbestos on the Rotterdam Convention's list of hazardous substances when the vote takes place in Spring 2013.
The Canadian Cancer Society believes that all efforts must be made to eliminate exposure to asbestos and to eliminate asbestos-related diseases. The Society is urging the federal government to adopt a comprehensive strategy to address all aspect of the asbestos issue, including:
The Canadian Cancer Society is a national community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer.

Karri Ramo made 31 saves for his second shutout of the season to help the Calgary Flames deal the New Jersey Devils a crippling 1-0 loss on Monday.
The defeat was a stinging blow to New Jersey's playoff hopes, as the team is three points back of the Columbus Blue Jackets for the final wild card spot. New Jersey has just three games left, while Columbus has four.
Mark Giordano scored the only goal of the game for the Flames, who have won three straight for the first start since a five-game run from Jan. 22-Feb. 1.
Cory Schneider gave up one goal on 22 shots. for the Devils, who had won three of four coming into the game.

When the Wall Street Journal went looking for expert commentary on the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy report, the Journal turned to the UW Law School.
Alumnus and Professor Jonathan Lipson (B.A. 1986, J.D. 1990) was quoted in Matt Phillips' article about the so-called "Valukas Report."
Anton Valukas was the court-appointed examiner tapped to explain what went wrong at the failed investment bank Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Professor Lipson, who recently published an article about bankruptcy examiners in the American Bankruptcy Law Journal, was a natural choice for expert commentary.
In the Wall Street Journal article, Lipson concludes that reports such as the "Valukas Report" are particularly important in high-profile cases like the Lehman bankruptcy.

General Motors today said that thanks to "strong public interest" in the Chevrolet Volt, it will increase production capacity of the four-seat series hybrid car from 30,000 units to 45,000 units in 2012.
The announcement came as U.S. President Barack Obama toured the Detroit-Hamtramck facility, where the Volt is being produced now for sale later this year.
"We are very proud to host the President of the United States at this plant, where the future of the American automobile industry is being built today by the men and women of General Motors," said Edward E. Whitacre, Jr., the GM Chairman and CEO, who was approved by the Administration and took over as the failed company was emerging from bankruptcy.
U.S. taxpayers invested more than $60 billion in GM to allow it to survive and now own a majority stake in the privately held firm. It is a matter of much debate as to whether taxpayers will get all of their money back, but recent developments, including GM's return to profitability, means some of the more than $50 billion spent will be returned if a public stock offering is successful.
Earlier this week, Chevrolet dealers began taking customer orders for the 2011 Chevrolet Volt, following the release of retail and lease pricing. (See Chevy Volt Electric Vehicle Starts at $41,000, Gulp, about $8,000 More than the Nissan Leaf)
Taxpayers are providing massive subsidies to help overcome the objections of potential buyers for what are now and for the foreseeable future high cost, limited range electric vehicles, including tax credits of up to $7,500 per vehicle to purchasers, as well a variety of subsidized infrastructure changes.

Sensory Stimulation
Sort By:
A set of 6 reflective mirror balls that look identical, but all have individual characteristics. Some wobble when rolled, or turn and won't roll in a straight line, some feel funny when twisted, spun or shaken and others make different shaker or rattle sounds. The shiny mirror surface provides a distorted fish-eye lens reflection which is fascinating for children to observe. They are robustly constructed from hard wearing stainless steel, are lightweight, smooth and tactile to handle and can be of particular appeal to children with special needs, or for those requiring inspiration in creative language. Size: 3.94" diameter.
Set of 8 sensory Perception Semispheres measuring 2" dia. Includes translucent clear, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink and purple pieces. Feeling smooth and soft to the touch, the very youngest children will enjoy handling them in free sensory play or as part of a treasure basket collection. Older children will find them fascinating as they hold them up and look through to see the world around them in different colors. When a Semisphere is placed on top of an object it magnifies it by 4 or 5 times to give a view that is both a different color and enlarged. Holding two or three Perception Semispheres together creates new colors and hues; using the Semispheres on a light panel will enhance the children's opportunities for color mixing.

16 large rubberwood blocks containing beads, transparent acrylic, colored sand and water/glitter filled pockets in 4 different shapes (square, rectangle, triangle and semi-circle). The Sensory Blocks will promote observation in the wider sense, as all the shapes follow the same convention of color and shape. For example, regardless of the contents of the block the squares are always red. The combination of smooth wood exterior and the brightly colored sensory center makes a fascinating component with a multitude of educational possibilities for use with children of all ages. Size of rectangle: 5.5" x 2.75" x 1.25".
Set of 4 large rectangular sensory liquid pack with hourglass shaped internal cavity containing tiny colorful bubbles that float to the top. Size: 4.95" x 3.35".
Set of 4 small rectangular sensory liquid pack with hourglass shaped internal cavity containing colorful seed-like bubbles that float to the top. Size: 2.60" x 1.75".
Set of 3 Ooze Tubes with thick goopey jelly in blue, pink and green that slowly oozes and spirals to the bottom. Size: 4.75" x 2".
A set of 6 large sensory liquid towers in a rainbow of colors! Each tower contains two, divided reservoirs of colored liquid creating two streams. As the colored liquid cascades to the bottom at varying speeds, the droplets may overlap creating a fascinating effect! Size: 2.16" x 5.75" x 1.38".
Set of 4 reflective mirror balls provide a stretched version of reality that is distorted like a fish-eye lens giving a view which is other-worldly. Children will be fascinated to see items placed close to the mirrors including their own faces enlarged and close-up. Made from hard wearing stainless steel, these beautiful, smooth tactile balls are robustly constructed without being too heavy and therefore can be handled by young children with ease. Sensory Reflective Balls can be used indoors or out and provide a focal point for displays. The silver balls provide a color match with the surroundings which will promote interest and discussion. Sizes: 2.36", 3.15", 3,94", and 5.90" diameter.
Use the SiliShapes® Sensory Circles to explore textures and enhance their sense of touch. Set of 10 textured circular disks made from ultra-soft flexible silicone - 5 large (9.75" dia.) and 5 small (3.15" dia.). On the surface of each circle is a pattern which is distinctive and different from the rest of the set. Children can feel these textures and discover their differences by placing the small circles into the "mystery bag" provided to describe or predict the pattern they are feeling; or by using their feet they can walk over the large sensory circles to see if they can tell them apart.
With simple record and play buttons, this 4.75" Sound Mirror provides kids with the opportunity to record up to 30 seconds of sound and play it back with ease. The microphone pick-up and recording quality are of a high standard providing excellent clarity. The design is simple and intuitive with big buttons. Children can see themselves speak while making a voice recording. On the back there is the option to select one of three sound levels for use in different classroom environments or outside and a recording lock button to protect important recorded information from being over-written. The device comes with a wall slot and is equipped with magnets for mounting. Front cover is removable to allow pictures to be placed behind the cover. Cover is also dry erasable. Requires 3 AAA batteries (not included).
Tactile Sandpaper Letters, Lowercase
Beginning readers and special needs students will benefit from the tactile experience of these letters. These 4-1⁄4" x 2-5⁄8" cards are covered with fine yellow sand and help students make the connection between the physical movement of forming letters and the actual letter shapes. The uppercase set contains the 26 standard uppercase letters. The lowercase set contains the 26 standard lowercase letters plus two alternative forms of l and t.

Potentially Great Timing
The PawSox return home next Saturday (July 31) on Jacoby Ellsbury Bobblehead Night at McCoy Stadium.
In an ironic twist, it looks like Jacoby might be there.
(photo courtesy of Kelly O'Connor)
Red Sox manager Terry Francona told reporters in Seattle on Saturday that Ellsbury is expected to play for the Single-A GCL Red Sox on Monday and Tuesday. If all goes well, Jacoby could join the PawSox in time for the upcoming 8-game homestand against Durham and Scranton/WB.
Maybe Jacoby's bobblehead should come with a tiny flak jacket to protect his broken ribs.
Ellsbury would not be the first athlete to play on his own bobblehead night.
In 2007, Jim Thome hit his 500th career home run on Jim Thome Bobblehead Night in Chicago. Thome certainly has a flair for the dramatic – it was a 2-run walk-off blast in the bottom of the 9th inning to give the White Sox a 9-7 win.
Last year, Manny Ramirez was not in the starting lineup due to an injured hand when the Dodgers dolled out 50,000 of his bobbleheads at Dodger Stadium. No big deal – Manny hit a pinch-hit grand slam to snap a 2-2 tie in a 6-2 win over Cincinnati. Vin Scully said it was the loudest roar he had heard at Dodger Stadium in 20 years. Manny then played real-life bobblehead by bouncing his head up and down to the amusement of his teammates.
There are two bobbleheads I would love to get my hands on.
Earlier this month, the Round Rock Express of the Pacific Coast League handed out 2,500 Billy Ray "Rojo" Johnson bobbleheads. He's the legendary pitcher from the Venezuelan Leagues (who happens to look a lot like a mustachioed Will Ferrell) who threw one pitch for Round Rock in May before getting ejected.
I've attempted to purchase one on eBay, but so far I keep getting outbid.
I would also love to have the Torey Lovullo bobblehead that the Buffalo Bisons gave away in 2003.
It's been the subject of considerable verbal abuse for Torey over the last seven years because it doesn't depict him in a typical baseball pose.
"I think his bobblehead says it all," former Buffalo teammate Jeff Manto told me. "Most hitters are shown swinging a bat and pitchers have a ball in their hand, but Torey is just standing there waving."
"That's how they are in Buffalo – they love to play jokes on people so my bobblehead doesn't show me swinging or fielding a ball – it shows me with my arm waving to the fans," Lovullo said. "I do think that people appreciated how I connected with the community and the fans. That's how they remember me in Buffalo – by the bobblehead that's waving."
* * * * *
The PawSox – who have dropped 7 of their last 8 games – will look to get back on the winning track on Sunday as they face Columbus at 5:05 at Huntington Park.
Mike Lowell, who went 4-for-4 with 3 doubles on Saturday, is expected to be in the starting lineup. Lowell has hits in his last 5 at-bats – the team record is 9 consecutive hits by Keith Mitchell in 1998.
I hope you'll join us for radio coverage beginning with the pre-game show at 4:50 on the PawSox radio network and pawsox.com.
I'd love to hear from you. Please take a moment to tell me who you are and where you're from in the comments section or you can e-mail me at email@example.com.
And if you Twitter, you can follow my tweets at http://twitter.com/Dan_Hoard
