Skip to comments.Unveiled! Hawaii's 1961 long-form birth certificates
Posted on 07/28/2009 7:34:23 PM PDT by pissant
Images of two 1961 Hawaii birth certificates similar to the one President Obama purportedly has on file have now been unveiled.
The Honolulu Advertiser published photostats of the original long-form birth certificates of twin daughters born to Eleanor Nordyke at Kapi'olani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital Aug. 5, 1961, one day after Obama was supposedly born at the same facility.
The Nordykes' certificates include information missing from the short-form document for Obama published online, including the name of the hospital, the name of the attending physician, name and address of the parents, the race of the parents and the race of the baby.
As WND reported yesterday, Hawaii's director of health responded to the growing controversy over the White House's refusal to release Obama's original long-form birth certificate by issuing a statement about the document in apparent contravention of Hawaiian law.

Ping the Posse!
Haven't read it yet but it sounds like it's gonna be good!
Pissant - why does the long-form still say "Certificate of Live Birth?"
From article:
A close examination of the birth certificates issued by Kapi'olani to the Nordyke twins shows the registration number precedes the number given Obama, even though the future president was born a day earlier.
Meanwhile, an image of an apparently fraudulent Kenyan certificate of birth circulated on the Web today from an unknown source. It alleged Obama was born in Mombasa. But a contributor at FreeRepublic.com debunked it, declaring "Busted!"
CNN said this story was dead. LOL!
Lou Dobbs (bless this patriot) did not get the memo.
Just so that nobody gets confused: the order of the certificates means nothing. The numbers are only there for unique identification. One stack of them would be at one hospital or office, and another would be at another hospital or office, meaning that each would turn in the certificates out of order. Surely there are some missing as well.
However, the birth certificate, if produced, still wouldn't resolve allegations that his citizenship was renounced.
He got the memo. He just round-filed it.
Clearing the Smoke on Obamas Eligibility: An Intelligence Investigators June 10 Report
In 1961 if a 17 year old American girl gave birth in a foreign country to a child whose father was not an American citizen, that child had no right to any American citizenship, let alone the natural born citizenship that qualifies someone for the Presidency under Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution.
7 FAM 1133.2-2 Original Provisions and Amendments to Section 301
a. Section 301 as Effective on December 24, 1952: When enacted in 1952, section 301 required a U.S. citizen married to an alien to have been physically present in the United States for ten years, including five after reaching the age of fourteen, to transmit citizenship to foreign-born children. The ten-year transmission requirement remained in effect from 12:01 a.m. EDT December 24, 1952, through midnight November 13, 1986, and still is applicable to persons born during that period.
§338-20.5 Adoption; foreign born persons.
(a) The department of health shall establish a Hawaii certificate of birth for a person born in a foreign country and for whom a final decree of adoption has been entered in a court of competent jurisdiction in Hawaii, when it receives the following:
(1) A properly certified copy of the adoption decree, or certified abstract thereof on a form approved by the department; and
(2) A copy of any investigatory report and recommendation which may have been prepared by the director of social services; and
(3) A report on a form to be approved by the department of health setting forth the following:
(A) Date of assumption of custody;
(B) Sex;
(C) Color or race;
(D) Approximate age of child;
(E) Name and address of the person or persons adopting said child;
(F) Name given to child by adoptive parent or parents;
(G) True or probable country of birth.
The true or probable country of birth shall be known as the place of birth, and the date of birth shall be determined by approximation. This report shall constitute an original certificate of birth; and
(4) A request that a new certificate of birth be established.
(b) After preparation of the new certificate of birth in the new name of the adopted person, the department of health shall seal and file the certified copy of the adoptive decree, the investigatory report and recommendation of the director of human services if any, the report constituting the original certificate of birth, and the request for a new certificate of birth. The sealed documents may be opened by the department only by an order of a court of record or when requested in accordance with section 578-14.5 or 578-15. The new certificate of birth shall show the true or probable foreign country of birth, and that the certificate is not evidence of United States citizenship for the child for whom it is issued or for the adoptive parents. [L 1979, c 203, §3; am L 1990, c 338, §3]
This certificate is a short form.
Welcome to FR.
Just waiting for the ruling by a certain U.S. District judge(a Marine) in Santa Ana, CA in "Cook vs. Obama"
"Mr. Presdent, I need to see your Birth Certificate"
Darn...I missed that gem of a thread entirely today...lol
Good work Freepers!
The distinction is not "Birth Certificate" vs. "Certificate of Live Birth", but the latter vs. "CertificatION of Live Birth". The former is the original document (or a photocopy/microfiche/digital scan of said original) - the document itself, for you to see. The latter is a printout with a stamp and seal on it that essentially says: "This information is what the actual document contains. Trust us..."
The media is working overtime to make this go away, never seen them work so hard to discredit a story
LOL! If Fox is smart - they should snap up Lou. CNN pisses off Lou then they will lose a lot of viewers.
I bet Lou could double his numbers on Fox and smash that phony The Leprechaun aka BOR(e) in the ratings.
Maybe Judge Carter and Lou Dobbs will be the patriots to stand up to Hussein Stalin and his thugs.
look at Obama's COLB> Incredibly sparse. Almost no info on it at all. LOL! What a cheezy fake!
Whoa! This needs to be ping'ed to everyone. Good FIND!

I wish they would replace O'Reilly with Dobbs.
I posted this last fall, and also on another thread about 30 minutes ago. I am posting it once more for you and any other FReeper who hasn't seen it, hoping it might be some sort of "CLUE".
Last fall when this subject came up on FR, I noticed something on the "alleged REAL Obamassiah BC. It is circled in red on the pic below:
Not being an expert at Photoshop (like whoever TRIED to sell the above as a REAL doc) I had my wife do the red circle on the above doc, and then enlarge the area, and came up with this:
..which appeared like a date stamped on the back that "bled through". By "flipping" the image, enlarging and darkening it somewhat, it revealed this:
I never did find out from any Freeper if it was a "clue" of any kind concerning the "Obamassiah BC Mystery".
I wonder if the date would help at all as far as finding out who filed for the doc, or who did the "transaction" at work that day?
Also, cronologically, what was happening with Obamassiah at that time?
BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK because daddy was a lying bigamist
Methinks someone faked BHO's document, and forgot to check for sequential integrity.
Satin Doll posted on another thread that she read earlier that Obama's newspaper announcement was actually spliced over the Nordyke's announcement.
Anyone else recall reading that?
Also, I pointed out earlier that perhaps it was the Nordyke TRIPLETS, not twins, the third one died, and Obama bought the registry # and the place in the announcement from them for big bucks, no doubt.
Okay...question. Seeing the paperwork side by side...
The President was born on August 4, 1961...right? And his BC number is 151-1961-010641...YET...
Susan Elizabeth Nordyke, born Augst 5, 1961 (one day later) her BC number is 151-1961-10637. AN EARLIER NUMBER???
Any logical explanation how THAT occurred??? Because I would guess that Birth Certificate registration occurs in the order in which you were born, ie., August 4 births would have a lesser number than August 5...and so on.
I could be wrong...those wacky Hawaiians!!!
Again, see Hawaii's law about foreign births in post #13. Because they have no records on foreign births, all they can allow are assumptions. It's just simple, basic, assumed information.
These foreign certificates in no way claim the recipient to be a legal American born citizen.
there is a poster here that recently made a post about how things were stamped and I didn't save the guy's name. He talked to the people there about his own COLB
there were three ways that things were stamped depending on which stamping machine they used, etc.
I don't remember the details. This may have been due to that.
I wish I could remember the thread that was on.
"Jun 6 2007" would be an alteration, hence it invalidates the "certificate".
I think you are the first person who has foun dthis foreign birth info requirement. Great find that should be pinged.
Looks like the info is best guess.
No one seems to be seeing the connection. It's so easy, even a cave man can see it.
Thanks for your reply to my post!
I wonder if this is why his birth number is later than Nordykes's.
And what's a probable country of birth-can you make one up?
The first certificate looks like a MODERN 'consular' form of the BC, issued by an embassy (I know, my son's looks like that because he was born in the UK and we applied for this abroad.) I repeat.....MODERN.
The second looks like MY original BC from when I was born in 1966 from MY state in the great US of A.
This is just all too weird beyond words.
Read this article. It confirms a lot of what the people have been saying. It is clear that CNN lied when they said that the paper records had been destroyed
I wish more of the msm would realize that point ( as one of MANY!!!).
I've lost interest in BOR, but he does crush Keith O. day in and day out. If Dobbs ever did make the switch to FOX, he should replace Shep Smith, who is becoming more and more replacable with each passing day.
Yup! That's pretty much a smoking gun!
Him, too. LOL! I can't stand the 'green eyeshadow' much more.
The Long form is a Certificate, while the short-form is a "Certification". The former is an original document, the latter is a quickie printout ("certified" by whom, God only knows). These are the kinds of subtleties that the Enemedia are trying to sneak by everyone.
My wife's business deals with state registration forms. Number snafu's like this are common. There could be a multitude of reasons.
For instance she has multiple stacks of the forms. Employees are supposed to use the next number in line but being lazy, very busy or not caring they just grab one when the previosuly employee did not put the stack back in order so the numbers are out of order with the dates every so often.
Maybe the hospital had these forms in different locations???
It's literally the "missing link." ;-)
And it further begs the question, why did CNN lie? And if they were told, from Hawaiian or WH officials that the records were destroyed, why? If the records WERE not destroyed...because it can't be both ways.

Brad Butt Mississauga—Streetsville, ON
Mr. Speaker, February is Black History Month.
It gives me great pleasure to rise today and pay tribute to the congregation of Praise Cathedral Worship Centre and its spiritual leader, Bishop Lennox Walker, in the riding of Mississauga—Streetsville.
Praise Cathedral works actively towards empowering people to make healthy life-changing and life-sustaining choices, creating an atmosphere of praise and worship, love and unity to the winning of souls for the Kingdom of God. Since May 2005, the cathedral on Millcreek Drive has been a welcoming and shining example of the best in all of our people. I was honoured to co-present a Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal to Bishop Walker recently, something that he acknowledged was an award for all the members of the church.
During Black History Month, let us all celebrate the tremendous contribution that Praise Cathedral and all Black Canadians have made to our great country.

Randall Garrison Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca, BC
Mr. Speaker, this past Monday was the first Family Day in British Columbia.
In my riding, municipalities celebrated this day with a free pancake breakfast in Langford, a family fun swim in Esquimalt and family hockey games at the Sooke leisure complex, to name just a few.
While we welcome Family Day as a day to spend time together as families, we must now come together to do the work necessary to help those families who struggle every day to make ends meet. B.C. has the second-highest child poverty rate at 14.3%. The living wage in my riding is $18.07, but the minimum wage is still only $10.25, and the use of food banks in British Columbia is increasing twice as fast as the national average.
Fortunately there are groups such as the Mustard Seed food bank, the Coalition to End Homelessness and the Community Social Planning Council that are working hard to find solutions to the real challenges faced by all the diverse families in my riding, challenges in getting child care, affordable housing, food security, sustainable transportation and a living wage.
The work that these groups do will make a real difference for families in Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca in all these areas where the Conservative government is falling so short.

Peter Braid Kitchener—Waterloo, ON
Mr. Speaker, teaching a young child to read is one of the most important and one of the most rewarding things we can do as parents and as a society.
Early childhood literacy not only provides an essential foundation for individual lifelong learning and success, it also prepares our future workforce to compete in the knowledge economy and enhances the quality of life for all citizens.
Ensuring that all young people can learn to read is the goal of Strong Start, an organization in my riding of Kitchener—Waterloo. Strong Start delivers an effective program that builds initial reading skills and enables children of all backgrounds and capabilities to succeed in a school setting.
Please join me in congratulating the staff and volunteers of Strong Start for their commitment to early literacy and for making a difference in the lives of families in our community.
Parliamentary Budget Officer

February 13th, 2013 / 2:05 p.m.
John McKay Scarborough—Guildwood, ON
Mr. Speaker, speaking truth to power is difficult at the best of times, but the Conservative government has created a special section in hell for those men and women in public life who have the temerity to be speak truth to power.
Kevin Page joins an ever-growing list of heroic parliamentary officers who have challenged the almighty Conservative propaganda machine. He has been the ultimate challenger to a fact-free government, pointing out inconvenient truths just as the machine is revving into high gear.
Unassuming and polite to a fault, the tax weary public has developed a fondness for his candour and evidence-based analysis. The more cabinet ministers attack him, the more he grows in public esteem. Whether it is the F-35, the Treasury Board cuts or every budget presented by the government, the PBO and Kevin Page have been more often right than wrong.
I do not know where the future will take Mr. Page, but he has set a very high bar in speaking truth to power, and we in the Liberal Party wish him well. Mr. Page, truth gets you heaven; untruth, the other place.
Young Scientist Award

Dean Del Mastro Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise today to recognize a remarkable young man from the Electric City region and my riding of Peterborough, Ontario.
Mr. Adam Noble is a 19-year-old resident of Lakefield, Ontario, currently in his last year of studies at Lakefield District Secondary School. What Adam has achieved to date in the field of science is truly remarkable. I am pleased to have the opportunity to recognize it here in the House of Commons today.
Though his resume is surprisingly long for an individual who is only 19 years old, I will shorten it and just let members know that Mr. Noble is the proud recipient of the European Union Contest for Young Scientists' international cooperation award for his work with nanosilver and water filtration systems. Most recently, Mr. Noble was invited to attend and present at the Nobel Prize ceremony and symposium.
Adam is a driven young man with a bright future ahead of him, and I have little doubt that he will contribute substantially to our knowledge-based economy of the future.
We congratulate Adam, and we wish him continued success with his exciting future endeavours. His community, country and this House are proud of his achievements.
Winter Special Olympics

2:05 p.m.
Raymond Côté Beauport—Limoilou, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House to celebrate the achievements of our athletes during the latest Winter Special Olympics, which were held in Pyeongchang, South Korea, from January 29 to February 5.
The Canadian team finished with an impressive 44 gold, 44 silver and 21 bronze medals in six sports: alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, figure skating, floor hockey, snowshoeing and speed skating.
It is with a genuine surge of pride today that I honour three athletes from Beauport—Limoilou who brought home six of the 109 Canadian medals.
I want to congratulate Stéphanie Savard, who won one silver and two bronze medals in alpine skiing; Matthieu Besnier, who won one gold and one silver; and Jean-François Leclerc, who won bronze. The last two athletes competed in snowshoeing.
Bravo to the Canadian team, and in particular the athletes from Beauport—Limoilou, for their wonderful contributions.

Kelly Block Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar, SK
Mr. Speaker, this January I went on my fourth annual New Year's riding tour and visited 26 communities in six days.
In communities such as Fiske, Ruthilda, Delisle, Asquith and Saskatoon, to name but a few, in local restaurants, post offices and new horizons centres, I met with dozens of constituents. I heard how pleased they are that Saskatchewan farmers finally have marketing freedom for wheat and barley, and that the long gun registry has finally been destroyed.
Their message to me was clear. They want our government to keep taxes low, continue to open new markets for our goods and keep cutting unnecessary red tape, such as the changes we made to the Navigable Waters Protection Act.
I would like to thank everyone who came out to share their thoughts and concerns with me and made this the most successful winter tour to date.
Heart Month
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
John Weston West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country, BC
Mr. Speaker, February is Heart Month in Canada where heart disease and stroke take a life every seven minutes and 90% of Canadians have at least one risk factor. Heart disease and stroke are conditions that devastate individuals and entire families.
The Heart and Stroke Foundation makes a real difference in reducing heart disease thanks to its 140,000 dedicated volunteers and 2 million donors across Canada. Canadians have the power to "make health last" by addressing key risk factors, including physical inactivity, poor diet and tobacco use.
We in this chamber need to do our part by informing constituents about the importance of healthy living. One way is to encourage local governments to declare the first Saturday in June, national health and fitness day.
I would also like to invite all my colleagues to join me this evening in presenting the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal to Pierre Lafontaine and Phil Marsh, two trainers who, each week, invest their best efforts in improving the health of all members. Their investment in us will make us role models for a healthier Canada.
Aylmer Food Centre
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Nycole Turmel Hull—Aylmer, QC
Mr. Speaker, every month, some 900,000 Canadians rely on food banks to have enough to eat. Nearly 40% of those 900,000 people are children.
I rise today to commend the outstanding contribution made by the Aylmer Food Centre in the fight against hunger. Created in 1988 to help about 20 families in need, the centre, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, now helps about 650 households in my riding.
With the cost of living rising despite stagnating wages, our communities need organizations like the Aylmer Food Centre more than ever. However, what Canadians need more than anything is for this government to make the fight against poverty its top priority.
Calgary Olympic Games
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Joan Crockatt Calgary Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, today marks the 25th anniversary of the opening ceremonies of the 1988 Calgary Olympic Winter Games.
I would like to congratulate everyone who was involved in making this first Winter Games on Canadian soil a success. These games left us with countless memories, including Elizabeth Manley's amazing silver medal win in women's figure skating, which I was particularly delighted with as a figure skater of some lesser talent; Brian Orser and Brian Boitano fighting it out for gold; as well as the Jamaican bobsled team and underdog Eddie the Eagle.
It is important that many of the facilities built for these games continue to benefit athletes, including the Olympic speed skating oval and WinSport's Canada Olympic Park. Our government recognizes that hosting the Olympic Games provides Canada with the opportunity to promote our culture, athleticism and respect for human rights.
In 1988, the world saw the best of Canada and 25 years later we are still reaping the rewards. Go, Canada, go.

Laurin Liu Rivière-des-Mille-Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, Quebeckers and Canadians were horrified to find out that three Conservative MPs asked the RCMP to launch a criminal investigation into some abortions. They clearly consider women who resort to this medical practice to be murderers.
The Prime Minister claims he does not want to reopen the abortion debate, but through his silence he is condoning the guerrilla tactics that a number of Conservative members are using to attack one of women's fundamental rights. The members for Kitchener Centre and Langley have moved two motions in the House to reopen the debate, and now three Conservative members are using the RCMP for partisan and ideological purposes in order to circumvent Parliament and the Supreme Court.
The NDP is proud to defend a woman's right to choose. Fundamental rights cannot be called into question, either directly or indirectly.
The Prime Minister should keep his promises.
New Democratic Party of Canada
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Terence Young Oakville, ON
Mr. Speaker, 60% of my constituents in Oakville work outside our communities, from Hamilton to Mississauga to Toronto. I have met many working people in Oakville who budget down to the last dollar for GO Transit fares and really appreciate the tax credit our government introduced to save them money and keep more cars off the road. Others, who do not work near GO Transit stops, will sometimes hold off on filling their gas tank for days, waiting for when gas will be just a few cents lower per litre.
Over 1,200 families in Oakville use food banks to make ends meet. They have been overloaded with taxes from the McGuinty-Wynne government such as new sales tax, the eco-tax and the health tax. More taxes will only deprive their families of the basics. The last thing they need is a new super tax on gas, public transit energy, home heating fuel, that would drive up the price of everything they need at malls and stores, including clothes, cleaning supplies and groceries.
My constituents in Oakville say "absolutely not" to the NDP job-killing $21 billion carbon tax.
International Co-operation
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Mark Eyking Sydney—Victoria, NS
Mr. Speaker, NGOs play an important role in an effective democracy. They are able to project positive Canadian values abroad. Canada is home to many NGOs that have a proven track record of achieving results and forming deep partnerships in their work abroad.
Yet the Conservative government has ignored the merit of these successful Canadian groups and ideologically defunded organizations like Development and Peace, KAIROS, CCIC, the Canadian Nurses Association, the Forum of Federations, the Canadian Teachers' Federation and many others.
These organizations are gathering on Parliament Hill today to call upon the government to reinstate Canada's aid to the level it was before in the budget and to work toward our commitment to invest 0.7% of our GDP on international development.
Canadians want to make a difference and help the world's poorest. The Conservatives must stop standing in their way, because many lives depend upon it.
Government of Canada
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Eve Adams Mississauga—Brampton South, ON
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government has been working hard over the past seven years for Canadians. Since forming government, Canadians have placed their trust in us to deliver results. That is exactly what we have done. We have lowered the GST from 7% to 6% to 5%. That is something that saves all Canadians money, every day, every time they make a purchase. We implemented the children's fitness tax credit to help moms and dads with the costs of hockey, soccer and gymnastics, for instance. We have implemented the children's' arts tax credit to help with the costs of piano and guitar lessons.
Unfortunately, the leader of the NDP has a different plan for Canada. The Leader of the Opposition wants to implement a $20-billion job-killing carbon tax that would hurt Canadians. On this side of the House, we will continue to stand tall for Canada and we will fight the $20 billion job-killing carbon tax.

So cute
"These Converse so are fun! They are a slip- on version, but they still have the laces. The laces are a beautiful mix of pinks, purples, and reds. They run about 1/2 a size long like all other Converse. I actually think they are more comfortable than other Converse because of the slip-on feature. I am a size 6 ladies and I wore a size 4 in this shoe."

Great sneaks for running!
"This is the second pair I've purchased and they're perfect for long distance training, especially for those prone to plantar fasciitis. They run small compared to other Asics so going 1/2 size up from your usual Asics size is smart."

Who knew? Charisma Carpenter, who played self-absorbed teenager Cordelia Chase on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, is part-Spanish. "You need to get it out that I'm a proud Latina!" she told us in 2011.
James Roday, who played Shawn Spencer on Psych, was born James David Rodriguez. An executive at ABC suggested that he change his name back in the 90s, and the alias stuck. Despite the name change, the actor is Mexican-American.
The Evil Queen is.... Latina? Yes, Lana Parrilla, the star of Once Upon A Time, is Puerto Rican and proud.
Who knew? Alexis Bledel, who played Rory Gilmore on The Gilmore Girls, is Argentinian-American! The Latina grew up in a Spanish-speaking household in Houston, Texas. In fact, she didn't speak English at all until she started grade school.
How awesome is this? David Gallagher, who played Simon Camden on 7th Heaven, is Latino! His mother, Elena Lopez, is of Cuban descent.
We grew up watching Ashley Banks on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and never knew she was Latina! Tatyana Ali is Afro-Panamanian on her mother's side and Indo-Trinidadian on her father's side.
Several Latinos starred on Lost, but there's one character we never expected to have Latin roots. Desmond Hume, the Scottish soldier, was played by Latino actor Henry Ian Cusick. Cusick is Scottish by birth, but his mother is Peruvian!
Everyone loves Scandal these days, but few people know one of the main characters is Latino. Yep, Guilerrmo Diaz, who plays Huck, is Cubano.
Okay, we know: Naya Rivera plays Santana, and she's brilliant. But, she's not the only Latino on the show! Blake Jenner and Harry Shum Jr., who play Ryder Lynn and Mike Chang on Glee, both have Latin roots. Jenner is Cuban-American, and Shum Jr. is Costa Rican-American!

As of December 8th I have had my blog for three years! But I've only blogged steadily for two years, so it's not really three years… I started blogging right before my baby was born {he's almost three now!} and so I took a year off almost right away. But still, two years of steady book reviews and bookish news isn't so bad! I'm pretty proud of myself for sticking with it. But really, it's not been hard because I love it so much! I love reading, I love talking about what I read, I love 'hanging out' with all the bookish people I've 'met' online. You're all so amazing and it's because of you that my blog has been so successful. Seriously, a HUGE thank you to all of you readers!
Some stats for you guys-
I've had 212,662 pageviews
I've posted 1,108 posts
I've done 172 giveaways (probably a few more cause I suck at tagging)
I've reviewed 193 young adult books
I would normally have a ginormous giveaway as thanks but it's a tight year for money so I took my stack of books I was going to giveaway and I donated them. Some went to the Juvenile Detention Center, some went to a High School Library and some went to the shelter. This year I just couldn't afford to mail them. But I'm pretty happy with my donations because I know I've made a bunch of people really really happy and it makes it so worth it! {I've started a new giveaway stack though so hopefully before long I'll be able to do a massive giveaway.}
Anyway, it's been another great year and I hope the year to come is just as great as the last one! I hope you'll all continue to stop by to read my blog and leave the wonderful comments that make my day!
Happy Holiday's everyone! Hope you have a wonderful rest of the year and Happy New Year as well!

The April 2011 Rolling Stone cover at first sight will probably result in millions of men accidently spilling coffee down their shirts and women who suddenly get the urge to run to the gym. The reason why? Smoking hot songstress Rihanna, goes full throttle in the new issue. Posing in a baring midriff white tank and made to order hand crafted glittered Levi's denim hotshorts, leaving nothing much to the imagination. "If Rihanna and Kid Rock had a baby," was the concept behind the styling of this shoot, said Stylist B. Akerlund. "Everyone kept saying give us super sexy and I'm like okay I'll give you sexy." We personally love the ripped/raw hemline of the denim shorts, which adds a little Oomph to the risqu? nature of the outfit. The red handkerchief tied around her wrist, channels Kid Rock's hit single "American Bad Ass" and has us all thinking maybe a Rihanna and Kid Rock baby won't be so bad after all.

Jonathan Bernier: A Missed Opportunity
Travis Hrubeniuk
June 23 2013 05:53PM
I have this terrible feeling that I am going to be able to create a full series of "Missed Opportunity" articles while Kevin Cheveldayoff is in office.
This morning the Toronto Maple Leafs and LA Kings completed a trade that will see "backup-yet-destined-to-be-a-great-starter" LA goaltender Jonathan Bernier head to "we-already-have-a-great-goalie-but-will-not-admit-it" Toronto for F Matt Frattin, G Ben Scrivens, and a second round pick in either 2014 or 2015 (Leafs choice).
Trying to understand this trade from a Leafs perspective is quite honestly a lost cause, but it's hard not to think this is a truly missed opportunity on the Jets part. It seems to me that Chevy's inability to be proactive in what has been accepted as an extremely vital and future defining summer for the Jets has officially cost them in the goaltending department. Although the Jets may not have been able to offer up what the Leafs did in this deal, I have a hard time believing that they couldn't compete and give Dean Lombardi something to consider before signing off. It is also completely unacceptable that the Jets weren't even rumored to be in talks with the Kings in acquiring Bernier, despite the glaring need for improvement in net.
First, The Obvious Points
It's been said once and it will be said again. Ondrej Pavelec is not an NHL caliber starting goaltender. I've said it quite often, many others have said it, and if you are still in need of proof, check out this awesome article from our friends over at Arctic Ice Hockey.
I wrote earlier this spring how it would be smart for the Jets to go out and attempt to acquire a goaltender this summer, and actually mentioned both Ben Scrivens and Jonathan Bernier as potential pieces that were likely to be moved. Although I still think Scrivens is a strong goalie with potential, the rest of this article will be focused on the centerpiece of this deal in Jonathan Bernier, and how the Jets could have competed for his contract rights.
It's easy to see why there is a fair amount of hype surrounding Bernier. This season in 14 games he posted a 9-3-1 record with a 1.88 goals against average and a .922 save percentage. Even though the Kings are a solid defensive and puck possession team (in 5 on 5 stats they finished 3rd in shots against/60 minutes, 2nd in Fenwick For % and 1st in Corsi For %), there are times that they have relied heavily on their goaltending (see this years playoffs). An argument could easily be made that the constant threat of Bernier has truly pushed Jonathan Quick to strive into the franchise goaltender he is today, and has truly competed on more than one occasion for the starting job between the pipes in LA.
What Could The Jets Offer?
Here's the tricky part. Trying to find that balance between giving up enough without hurting the team long term. I'm ready for a long of hate to come my way for proposing this, but I think the Jets could have offered the Kings Ondrej Pavelec, Alex Burmistrov and a 2nd round pick for Jonathan Bernier.
Before you go straight into the "screw this guy" mindset, let me make it clear that in no way do I think the Jets should be shopping away Burmistrov. I think I've made my stance clear on Burmi over time that I do like the guy. This is simply a choice based on what the Leafs offered and the Kings accepted, and based on a comparison between players.
The Break Down
I did not take my choice for Alex Burmistrov as a trade piece lightly. I considered many options including Scheifele, Eric O'Dell, Adam Lowry, Aaron Gagnon and Zach Redmond, but based on a few factors I landed on Burmistrov. Mostly are related to the fact that the Kings would want a younger player that the Jets were willing to part ways with. The Jets seem quite content and pleased with Scheif to this point, O'Dell, Lowry, Gagnon, and Redmond are all relatively unproven in the NHL (which I believe was a factor in the Kings choice), and we are all ware of a potential rift between Burmi and the Jets coaching staff.
In fact, when you compare Frattin and Burmistrov you could make the argument that they are very similar players. Both are solid defensively, have a good offensive upside, and have provided their respective clubs with strong third and fourth line minutes during their time. Frattin may be bigger and managed to put up more compelling number this year, but he is also two years Burmistrov's elder, played with more offensively skilled players in comparison to Burmi. One could also argue that Burmistrov has more longterm upside for a team with plenty of current leadership and talent, that could give him more time to properly develop and grow.
Moving Pavelec out would have served a dual purpose for the Jets. Not only would it have provided Bernier with a clear number one goaltending position that he had been rumored to want, but it would have allowed the Jets to clear Pavelec's contract. This would have not only given them space to sign the true starter, but "restart" their books moving forward into this offseason. Pavelec could then serve his time as the Kings backup, as obviously Quick would continue his clear role as a workload starter.
The second round pick could have been from this year (where the Jets currently have two) or next, as a way of evening out the abysmal contract the Kings would be taking on.
In Summary
In case you haven't noticed, I had put a fair bit of thought into the potential of Bernier coming to Winnipeg. Would it have ever happened? Who knows. I guess we'll never know considering the lack of activity from the Jets camp since the season ended. Heck, Bernier may have even refused to sign with the team following a trade.
It would have been nice though to know that there was the potential. To know that the people in charge of this team were aware of a mistake and taking action to correct it. Instead, we have what comes across as a missed opportunity and the status quo. That, and more talk in this city about some cracks in concrete than the lack of activity on Portage Avenue.
June 23 2013, 06:19PM
Few points here. First, I'd rather not see the Jets flush NHLers for unproven goalies if they can help it. I like Gare Joyce's comment from today that Bernier's become a better prospect by not playing. I don't mind him, but Burmistrov is an actual NHL player, and there's no guarantee that a guy with 50-60 games under his belt will be a legit starter. I'm always mindful that "better than Pavelec" doesn't mean a guy is a top end prospect, and he'd better be if you're ditching a 21 year old that can play. The Jets hardly have enough NHL forwards as it is.
Second, the Kings would have never, ever, ever, taken Pavs' contract as part of any deal, and correctly so. They couldn't fit 10M in goalie contracts under the cap, so taking him would have meant flipping him elsewhere, and that's more work than it would have been worth.
As it was, the Leafs had to take back 500K in salary to make the deal, and the 2 contracts they sent LA totalled about 1.6M. They needed cheap guys that could play, and likely wanted a back up goalie that didn't stink as part of that return. Scrivens and Frattin are cheap, and Scrivens seems like he'll be at least a decent back up. The only way Winnipeg would have been able to make a deal with LA would have been to ditch Pavs elsewhere and flip the return. Given the love affair Jets' management has with Pavelec, we both know the chances of that happening.
None of this should discourage the Jets from trying to get better goaltending, obviously, but I'm enough of a realist about Winnipeg's management mindset to just hope they're willing to spend for a slightly more expensive back up, like Emery or Khudobin. If they do that and that guy outplays Pavs, maybe the scales will finally fall from their eyes. Maybe.
June 24 2013, 03:26AM
I can only see Pavelec being dealt in some kind of exchange of similarly onerous contracts, and at this point, I don't believe management feels the need to move him anyway. I'm willing to give Ondrej one more year before I full blown hate his guts.
Although I prefer that he stays a Jet, if Burmistrov is going to end up getting dealt, I wouldn't mind if it's at the Draft. Maybe dangle him and the 13th to move up. Lots of quality players will still be available around pick #7. I think a Darnell Nurse or Sean Monahan would be very good horses (they're actually human beings) to add to the prospect stable. Hint Hint, Oilers management.
Actually, can you imagine a backend that has Bogosian, Trouba and Nurse in a few years? That's a beastly group - one that could make any Goalie's numbers better.
June 24 2013, 09:11AM
I have an uneasy feeling that the Winnipeg Jets management group is going to do very little again this year. They will pick a few draft choices that they hype up...and preach patience.
A GM has to have the courage of his convictions to do what is best for the team. If it costs him his job so be it. I see cautious, tentative and defenseable moves made by this GM. The Jets are in need of change...in every part of their roster...and I question the resolve of this management group to make changes.

For example, if your current rate with your current provider is 12.3¢ per kWh and you use 1,000 kWh, you could use our tool to learn that switching to a Bounce plan would save you $306 per year. Even if you paid your current provider a termination fee of $150, you'd still be saving more than $150 during the course of the 1st year.*Calculate Your Savings

Byers hands Lady Hawks first loss
Myrtle's run at perfection came to an end on Tuesday at the hands of H.W. Byers in a highly anticipated divisional showdown that did not have one of Byers' top players in Alexis Hardaway, who was out with a high ankle sprain.
While the game was close early on, Myrtle fell out of sync as Jenna Jordan went out in the first quarter with an injury and Aspriona Gilbert was on the bench late in the second quarter with three fouls.
"They just outhustled us, and we didn't play good tonight," coach Chris Greer said. "They did a great job and were fired up and ready."
Byers fought back from an early 8-3 deficit, going on a 17-3 run to end the first quarter up 20-11. Gilbert helped the Lady Hawks fight back in the second, scoring nine points, and Halle Knowles briefly tied the game at 24.
But for every run Myrtle had, Byers had an answer in Kyra Gulledge. The senior put Byers ahead once more and controlled the boards with 20 rebounds (10 offensive, 10 defensive), giving the Lady Lions multiple second chance opportunities in the post.
"We knew coming in that they would hit the boards," Greer said. "Our effort was okay, but we didn't fight like we normally do."
Byers went ahead 39-30 in the third quarter, and Meshay Cox would get Myrtle back within two, 40-38, but the Lady Lions answered with a 9-0 run and did not look back, going on to outscore Myrtle, 19-9, in the fourth quarter.
Gilbert led Myrtle with 18 points, followed by 11 from Knowles.
Along with her 20 rebounds, Kyra Gulledge, along with Jusice Martin, had 15 points, followed by 12 points from both Abria Gulledge and Richenda Crutcher.
At 21-1, 1-1, Myrtle looks ahead to its next divisional match-up, on the road at Ingomar on Friday. For the Lady Hawks, it is all about returning to what has brought them success so far this season.
"This sure would make me want it more, so we'll find out if they want it more on Friday night," Greer said of his team. "We're going to be okay. We're going to readjust, and hopefully we'll play them again."
The Hawks also fell to 1-1 in division play after a 71-55 loss to the Lions. Myrtle hopes to avenge a loss to Ingomar in last weekend's Union County Tournament, going on the road Friday night.

Microsoft Windows Sales Plunge 33 Percent as Company Looks Ahead to Win 8

Q1 2013 likely left Microsoft's Ballmer sweaty and frustrated.
(Source: YouTube)
Some divisions profit, but Microsoft faces uncertainty as it races ahead to Windows/Windows Phone 8
Earnings week for the tech industry has brought
a lot
bad news
, with a few pleasant surprises (
like Intel
Corp. (
)). Microsoft Corp.'s (
definitely fall into the "bad news" category.
Microsoft, which operates two fiscal quarters ahead of the calendar quarter, saw itself narrowly miss
analyst targets
in both revenue and net income (profit). The company pulled in $4.47B USD (expected: $4.72B USD) in profit on revenue of $16.008 USD (expected: $16.416B USD).
A key to the miss was plunging revenue from the Windows unit, which saw a big drop in Windows 7 sales. Microsoft better hope that predictions of Windows 7 being the "
next Windows XP
" aren't true, because it's counting on Windows 8 to revive sales, with movement of the
once-sterling Windows 7
slowing to a sluggish pace.
Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer at Microsoft,
roared at his critics
, commenting in the earnings release, "The launch of Windows 8 is the beginning of a new era at Microsoft. Investments we've made over a number of years are now coming together to create a future of exceptional devices and services, with tremendous opportunity for our customers, developers, and partners."
Microsoft is currently selling Windows 8 upgrades via pre-order.
Microsoft did defer $1.36B USD (as it typically does) in pre-order revenue from its
Windows Upgrade Offer
program. Windows 8 official
launches next Friday
on Oct. 26.
One bright spot in the earnings report was Microsoft's servers unit, which saw an 8 percent bump on revenue, mainly on big growth in SQL Server and System Center. And in the also-somewhat-good news category, Bing and the online service division crept a bit closer to no longer being
massive money losers
, with revenue 9%, driven by a 15% increase in revenue per-click. That's particularly good as the dominant force in the search market, Google Inc. (
), saw
a large
in revenue per-click
after traffic acquisition costs (TAC).
The Entertainment and Devices division earnings were a revenue draw (down 1 percent). It is currently focused on reviving Microsoft's smartphone bid with
Windows Phone 8
, which launches next week. It also was able to brag that the Xbox 360 remains
sales king of the American consoles market
, with a 49 percent estimated market share. The Xbox 360's successor, which some are expecting to be
named the Xbox 720
, is not expected to land until sometime in late 2013 or early 2014.

Microsoft remains one of the best earning and most successfully diversified hardware/software giants in the consumer electronics industry. However, it continues to be defined by the burden of high expectations, speculation, and intense scrutiny surroundings its "misses".
Shares of Microsoft were hammered in morning trading, down almost 3 percent to $28.70 USD/share.
FT [analyst estimates]
"Game reviewers fought each other to write the most glowing coverage possible for the powerhouse Sony, MS systems. Reviewers flipped coins to see who would review the Nintendo Wii. The losers got stuck with the job." -- Andy Marken

Discussion in 'Racquets' started by Pro_Tour_630, Nov 21, 2007.
Is the PT630 closer to a Radical or Prestige?
Nowhere near Radical. You could say it is close to Prestige(almost identical mold). But still very unique feel. People believe it is because of Twaron used in PT630
The Original Radical Tour (Trisys 260) MP, Radical Tour TwinTube 630, and Pro Tour 630/280 all use the exact same mold. Starting with the Ti.Radical MP The Radical from there forward use a different molds. Today's Prestige MP is closer to the Pro Tour 630/280 in mold.
There is another way to make it smaller. The 'pallets' can be replaced. That is the thing that you shaved down, it can actually be removed and if you are able to find replacement pallets in your grip size (2, 3 etc), then the new size fits right in.
There's a thread somewhere here showing how to do it yourself. Tricky part is finding the "TK 76" pallet in your size. I do believe the newer "TK 82" also fit the racquet as well. The only difference is what they are made out of, so probably weights will vary, etc. Once you find that all you need is a hairdryer and some patience.
There is even a Yuotube video howto. Anyway I prefer sinking the handle in very hot water rather than the hairdryer. Works better and faster for me. Good luck!!
PT caps/grommets 101
Hi All,
Really enjoy this thread. i've got a trek PT630 austria full guard and a chinese 280 partial guard.
I need help with the caps/grommet thing on the PTs. i think i'd like to get a full guard for my 280.... can't seem to find all the info together for the novice.
first off does "CAP'd" or "full CAPs" refer to a guard around the whole head?
so what guards are available to buy, and where can you buy them? i can't seem to find this "iprestige mp xl" guard anywhere... and is that one the most similar to the OEM full guard, which is now unavailable? what are the other options, and what are their weights?
i'm leaning to get the full guard, as i like how my 630 plays... but i might experiment a bit longer playing with them the way they are a while....
post reply if appropriate or email james dot ys dot yang @ gmail
PS I'd also like to find out what you experienced PT players like for a setup after your experimentation regarding the bumper guards, strings, and grips. I'm looking for the fast track to a good setup. As far as playing style I am a baseliner with lots of topspin...
Still has my HEAD RADICAL TWIN TUBE MP ....good racquet,,,but not sure about good string for it?
TW sells them. it's listed as Head Intelligence i.Prestige XL Mid+ Grommet
Hey mate, CAPS=full guard yes. CAPS stands for computer assisted protection system iirc. The LM Prestige MP grommets from TW is CAPS and will fit the PT280/630 perfect. For normal/partial guard, get the LM Radical MP grommets from TW. I recommend LM over Youtek because the material of the older ones are of better quality. CAPS are around 30g, partial 10g less iirc. Definitely put on a leather grip, and the frame seems to work best with a thin poly setup.
i've got the following grommet sets and here are their weights.
Head MicroGel Radical MP grommet set - 22g
Head YouTek Radical MP grommet set - 24g
Head i.Prestige XL MP grommet set - 29g
Head MicroGel Prestige MP grommet set (CAP) - 34g
I'm a natural gut fan......
Hi from Belgium
Hi guys,
Here someone from belgium who plays with the PT630 since 15 years
I didnt know there where other people than me that like the head PT630 so much
I have 2 rackets pt630 "designed in austria" and 1 "made in austria".
Already played with other midplus rackets from head (prestige, radical,...)
but it never felt as good as my old pt630:twisted:
Since years i play with monofilament kirschbaum super smash 1.20 or 1.25, 55-56lbs. Also played with other strings, but this one gives the right feeling.
I've the Pyramid Tour 630 (Made in Austria), this is a beast, very stable, spin machine but not easily manoeuvrable if you get pushed around...
Did you try Kirschbaum Spiky Shark (spin friendly) as well at low tension? I'm curious to know how it compares with Super Smash with this racket...
I should add this is a really low powered racket so you become tired quite quickly. That said this is really a racket like none other with a special feel...
Btw, I'm also located in Belgium ;-)
Do you think the Pro tour trisys 280 would be a good racquet to extend to 28"? (they have pallets, right?)
do i count as a partial member?
i have a pair of youtek pj PT57A's.
Just bought a Pro Tour 280 Designed in Austria. Condition: 8.5/10. Spent $60.
Used it on court last week. Very good feel. But I really don't want to scratch it any more.
Which would you say is the more abundant frame out of the PT630 "trek font" or "shadow font"
I need info...
What plays (feels) similar to head PT 630 trek font,
Head prestige liquidmetal mp or Head prestige Microgel mp
none of them....i am sorry
I thought so:-?, that none of them would match up....I have two of PT 630 but they are pretty old now..
So the best way to get PT 630 (that is somewhat younger than 15y old frame) is to buy PT57A?
I think best way is to buy PT630 again...if you like it's retail specs. It is still not a big problem to get them in reasonable condition and much cheaper than PT57A. I have bought around 10 PT630´s last year. Couple of them like new. Check stringforum. Hope this help.
Also...the paintjob is so cool
Best Way
What is the best way to hit the forehand with the PT630/280, hit it flat or topspin? eastern or semi-western? Your opinion will be appreciated.
the best way would be to hit it exactly like you normally hit a fh
How do you NORMALLY hit your forehand? Why? Does it give you BETTER result?
rather old-fashioned with an eastern grip learned it in the 70´s
am able to get a lot of topspin out of it though if the situation asks for it
i was a bit confused by your former post and probably didn´t understand it correctly. where you suggesting, that one should alter forehand technique depending on the racket one uses?
Amen to that my friend!
No, I just would want to know your best way of hitting with your PT630. So, its eastern grip for you! What's your string set up? Nice to hear you get a lot of spin from it.
Hit mine with a SW - works just fine. That said, I generally prefer the additional stiffness of the the Radical Trisys.
Spin generation off the ground is fine, even with 18x20 string pattern, but you notice it more on serve when comparing against a 16x18 frame.
Control is excellent though - more than makes up for any losses elsewhere.
And how are you finding your new purchase? (aka phillips39)
Great thanks - a tiny bit of tweaking and I now have a matching pair!
So if TGK237 is Prestige Mid, 237.1 is 18x20, 237.2 is 16x19, what is 237.3? Stiffer or flexier version? Which string pattern?
From what I know. is as follow:
TGK 237.1 = Microgel Prestige Mid Pro stock 18 x 20
TGK 237.2 = Microgel Prestige Mid Pro stock 16 x 19 ( hard to find )
TGK 237.3 = Youtek Prestige Mid Pro stock 18 x 20
TGK 237.4 = Youtek Prestige Mid Pro stock 16 x 19 ( hard to find )
The new ones Youtek IG Prestige Mid Pro Stock, change the code, I think they are TGT 291.1 18 x 20 and 291.2 for 16 x 19
Thanks, cmendez79! Guess I need to be on the lookout for a 291.2.
I had a mistake
The Youtek IG Prestige Mid Pro Stock TGT 292.1 is the 18 X 20, in another forum some guy just sold 2 of them.
The 16 x 19 should be the TGT 292.2 but I have not seen one and I do not know if it exist.
But all the 16 x 19 are extremely hard to find, because not a lot of pro players use them.
Good luck !!
Well, I'm not actively searching for one, let alone be able to afford it if I found it. I'd be just as happy if Head made an IG Prestige Mid 16x19 as a non-Pro Stock option...but not many non-pros seek out something like that, either.
No problem. Glad you like it!
I need some help....
Yesterday I bought two PT630. I already have two PT's with full CAP that I play with, but I found these and couldn't reject offer for 50eur. (Lucky me)
I saw on original Head covers that came with racquets on inside label that states production year 1995 (made in austria), they came without full CAP grommets. As they are in bad shape (grommets), I need to change them, so I found on our club pages that Radical Mp bumper, and grommets will fit.
I have in my shop 2x bumper and grommets from YT Radical MP, and I can get them today, will they fit PT?, and is there a difference because they are made from Teflon and not regular black ones.
I took some pictures of new and my old PT's, I will post them tomorrow...
They will fit. You should not notice any big difference unless the weight is different which probably is. I would weigh the grommets first or racket with original and then with new grommets. You can tune it with lead tape then.
Thanks for quick replay.
If i want to put full Cap grommets, would grommets from prestige YT mid fit the PT, as they are 18x20? or just MP prestige ( microgel or youtek).
Just MP prestige
I'm looking to put a leather grip on my trek PT630 Austria with full CAPS. My other trek PT630 Austria has a leather grip, not sure which kind, and feels better and makes the grip size bigger which is what I want. Also looking to make the racquet more headlight and more manueverable as I'm playing lotsa doubles lately. Will making it more headlight ease the load on my shoulder which gets sore sometimes? I think it will, from a physics and physical therapy point of view... i'm a physical therapist.... SO....Which leather grip works best with this racquet and for what I'm looking for? Head, TW, Babolat, Volkl, Fairway, and where should I buy it?
Thanks in advance! james dot ys dot yang at gmail or reply here as appropriate. thanks and good tennis.
... one more question..... i'm using yonex super grap overgrips, which width 22 or 25 mm works best for feel if i go with the TW grips that offer different sizes? i'm thinking the 1.5 thickness ones are what i want too to increase the grip size a bit.
Tired a few leather grips - Head, Wilson and finally settled on Babolat.
Ultimately it is all down to feel - both the Wilson and the Babolat allowed me the locate the bevels well but overall I enjoyed the feel and feedback from the Babolat more.
Go with Fairway they are the best
And the most expensive, if you can find them. Try the 'bay. Even found them there in black!
cheaper alternative: TW Private Label Leather Grip
Guys I learnt from reading this comprehensive thread that a retail strung up PT630 ( with bumper guard not CAP ) weighs 340g and is about 8pts HL. Having the CAP will add around 10g.
Can someone tell me what is the new balance now? With all 10g distributed around the hoop I am afraid it might make sluggish.... Hence would using the Youtek/microgel radical bumper grommets would be better?
Separate names with a comma.

By CONGRESSMAN JIM MATHESON
During this session with only the insomniacs watching on C-Span, the U.S. House of Representatives struck a fatal blow against fiscal responsibility. By a margin of five votes, the House passed a budget resolution that includes the largest, long-term structural tax increase in history. That vote approved a budget with the biggest one-year deficit in our history, and no long-term plan to stop adding more debt on the backs of every American. That is additional debt for which every man, woman and child in America will pay taxes every year, just so that our government can pay the interest on that debt. Keep in mind that the "debt tax" is the only tax that cannot be repealed.
Today, our national debt is more than $6.4 trillion. Your share, my share, my 73-year-old mother's share and my 4-year-old son's share of that debt is over $22,000 each. The interest we pay on the debt is roughly a billion dollars a day. Eighteen cents of every federal income tax dollar that you pay goes to interest. And that number (The Debt Tax) will increase thanks to the budget Congress just passed.
Worse, the House of Representatives abandoned any pretext of fiscal responsibility at a time when young men and women were fighting and dying for the freedom of Iraqis and a peaceful future for the world. When the troops return, they'll get a bill from Congress for the war they fought and won. So will their children-even those who lost a parent in the conflict.
It's clear that there are economic bumps in the road, and sometimes a budget will be out of balance. In the private sector, a business may have a bad year or two where it loses money. But any prudent business would work on a plan to return to profitability.Where is the plan in Washington to change the course from perpetual yearly deficits? Let's set aside any blame game about how we got into the current situation and take action to restore fiscal responsibility to our federal budget. The first step when you find yourself in a hole is to stop digging.
Yes, the economy needs an economic boost. Let's pass real economic stimulus, something short-term and immediate, to jump-start the economy, without mortgaging our children's future.
We all would like to pay less in taxes. I have supported significant tax cuts. As Congress evaluates tax cuts, it should also consider impacts on the budget. I regret to say that while many in Congress advocate for a wide range of tax cuts, few are willing to demonstrate fiscal responsibility by also advocating for corresponding spending cuts so that we can have a balanced budget.
We can't pretend that long term continued deficits don't matter. We can't call ourselves fiscal conservatives and then grow the debt to $11 trillion over the next 10 years. Alan Greenspan said, "There's no question that as deficits go up, contrary to what some have said, it does affect long-term interest rates. It does have a negative impact on the economy."
The Committee for Economic Development, a blue-ribbon organization of corporate CEOs and civic leaders in urging Washington to take the longer view in terms of economic prosperity said, "the budget deficits it (the President's plan) would create would be akin to 'arsenic poisoning' for the economy."
Honesty, honor, fiscal discipline. The U.S. House of Representatives used the cover of darkness and a lot of self-denial to defeat those principles in passing the fiscal year 2004 budget resolution.

Social Perception and Evaluation Lab
Join the Lab
I am looking for highly motivated students and scholars to join my lab. Please visit my lab website to learn more about joining the lab.
I am interested in how values, identities and motivations organize social perception and evaluation, and the underlying neural mechanisms that mediate these processes. This work builds on some basic assumptions about the dynamic nature of human perception and evaluation that are different from the dual process models that permeate psychology. My primary line of research takes a multi-level approach to self-categorization and social identity, blending theory and methods from social psychology and cognitive neuroscience. Other lines of research explore the flexibility of moral judgment and the effects of social context and individual differences on social perception and evaluation.

Gross-Sounding Poop Transplant Saves Life of Arizona Man
In fecal transplant therapy—also known as fecal bacteriotherapy—doctors take the poop of one person and stick it up the butt of another person. It's not for everyone! But it seems to be life-saving for people who suffer from Clostridium difficle, a disease you definitely don't want to get.
"When you're bleeding rectally for weeks on end, you have no choice but to think you're dying," says 33-year-old Jerry Grant, an upbeat-seeming Arizona man who recently shared with his local NBC affiliate the details of his personal poop switch saga. His symptoms, which—eh, let's just leave it at that—were so severe that Grant says he would have eaten poop just to repair himself. Luckily it didn't come to that. Mrs. Grant gave up a stool sample so that her husband didn't have to accept poop from a stranger, or go on the fecal black market.
Approximately 500,000 people are afflicted with this disease every year, so keep in mind that you could be next. Meantime, we're happy to hear that Grant is recuperating from all of his, erm, symptoms. Now go have that nutritious breakfast.
