Posted on 05/22/2012 10:28:04 PM PDT by Seizethecarp
The state of Hawaii has verified President Barack Obama's birth records to Arizona's elections chief after a nearly three-month back and forth that Arizona officials said could have ended without the incumbent's name on its November ballot.
Joshua Wisch, special assistant to Hawaii Attorney General David Louie, told The Associated Press late Tuesday that the matter is resolved after Hawaii gave Arizona the verification it was looking for.
Arpaio said health officials in Hawaii refused to talk to his deputy and posse investigator on Monday, though an assistant attorney general came out to talk to the investigators.
"They won't have anything to do with us," Arpaio said.
Janice Okubo, spokeswoman for the Hawaii State Department of Health, said two men dressed in business suits from Arpaio's department sat down with deputies from the health department and attorney general's office in a conference room Monday.
The men identified themselves as being from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office and provided their badges and business cards when asked, Okubo said.
"They said they were conducting an investigation," Okubo said.
Okubo said the Hawaii officials told the men they had to show why they needed the information as part of ordinary business a response similar to that given to Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett last week when he publicly pushed his request to verify Obama's birth.
(Excerpt) Read more at sfgate.com ...
More Okubo stonewalling of the Arpaio Posse...
Even if Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama had been birthed in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House Obama is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.
What was given the AZ SoS is only verification according to HI. It MAY NOT resolve the issue.
Perhaps, Bennett is stunned that there is a 'conspiracy'. It's gonna be a interesting Wednesday.
VERIFIED?? What the hell does that mean?
IMO, without a forensically verified BC for Barry positively identifying his parents and location of birth it is not possible for me to assert whether or not Barry is NBC.
Think about it. On which BC are you basing your claim that Barry is NOT NBC, regardless of which nuanced definition of NBC you chose to apply? Barry's claims in his "composite" book, "Dreams" (written by Ayers) can't be relied on, or at least I won't rely on it. Just what are you relying on?
I suppose that State AG's will extend courtesy "verifications" to each other under the full faith and credit clause but I doubt they are enforceable...especially in HI's 9th Circuit zone.
Maybe because its late and I am tired but honestly I could not understand what was verified and the article seemed to say "yes he was born here", "not we wont tell you where he was or not", "they have the info they wanted", "they didn't learn anything".
I am so confused.

Meanwhile, an old, 2004 AP story via Wayback Machine...
Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate
Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.
The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an alternative.

(Birther since at least 1991)
OK. They got the Long-form Certificate. When do we get to see it? Huh? Huh? Huh?
If Obama was born in Hawaii, he could end all of this by having Kapiolani release the birth records....That is IF he was born there.
I do not trust ANYTHING that comes from the state.
I think Arizona wants HAWAII'S verification, which can amount to a letter from them stating 'we verify Obama was born here'. Case closed no matter how corrupt the Hawaiian officials. Arpaio on the other hand is on a mission TO DO THE VERIFYING HIMSELF and not rely on Hawaii's merely saying so. Knowing Hawaii, they are probably going to play 'word game ping pong' with Arizona without actually furnishing any proof of anything. Arpaio is looking for proof, not words from Hawaiian officials. We already know they are corrupt to the core.
When will you Birthers get it through your thick heads that Obozo produced a copy of his birth certificate years ago?
Soros stopped this and it is a set up and/ or diversion.
I'd like to see the two requests made by Bennett.
What wording was changed that allowed the HI officials to "comply" with the request?
For God's sake, it's a Birth Certificate request.
You want my BC, here it is - cost me $10 for three copies certified.
Thanks, ASA Vet. You said exactly the line I always fall back on. This is why the Birth Certificate DOESN'T MATTER (except if it can be proven that the documents were forged in an effort to defraud people). Frustrating as so many of us knew this was coming. Another attempt to tell people "Move along. nothing but conspiracies and crazy folks here". It's a shame too many will actually believe it's all BS (just like they did in 2008).
This is nothing but a charade.
And I wouldn't put it past that weasel Ken Bennett to have been a willing participant in this orchestrated kabuki dance in order to provide a fig leaf to the Kenyan fraud in the White House.
NOW all of the parties (Hawaii, Arizona, *and* the 0bama regime and their KoolAid drinking zombies) can wave this around and say "see? see? we TOLD you he was born in Hawaii!"
And you can be sure that a few self-delusional posters right here on FR will be among them.
Exactly. Either Bennett was eligible to receive verification of the facts of Obama's birth as recorded on his birth certificate, or he was not. The way he "worded" the request would not change whether he was eligible or not. This sounds like a bunch of bullcrap, where HI agreed to "verify" only what they wanted or were comfortable "verifying" - NOT what the law says they need to verify.
We need to see exactly what transpired, and what HI gave AZ. If they gave just a generic verification that they have records for Obama, then that would be relying on either a 1960-64 birth index which has been altered to include legally non-valid records OR a database which has been altered to put Virginia Sunahara's birth record under somebody else's name (like the HDOH did before).
And no matter what they "verified", their doing so contradicts previous disclosures that Obama's BC was amended and/or late and has affidavits supporting what was claimed on the BC - because HI law says that late and/or amended BC's are not probative; HI cannot vouch for the accuracy of anything on those BC's. So if HI actually verified anything, it is grounds for Bennett (or any SOS) to audit ALL Obama's birth/citizenship records, as strongly recommended in the report by the HHS inspector general, found at http://oig.hhs.gov/oei/reports/oei-07-99-00570.pdf .
That's true, from a divided loyalty (MvH) standpoint only if BHO II really is his biological father. The fact remains that to this day, there has still been no definitive proof offered as to the true "Obama" origins.
One thing you can always count on with "Obama": The truth is not in him.
Probably similar wording that Pelosi signed when stating he "was qualified for Pres." before the 08 elections. Remember that one?
Loved your comment #26.
When I did background investigations, we used two terms for birth records: Verified as in I saw the original birth record. Cooberated as in from another record such as an employment record or school record. For certain investigations, only verified was accepted but that was for something as important as a top secret clearance for code access not something as trivial as being president of the US (sarcasm off now).
The SFGate.com story is mixing up two different stories. One from Arizona's secretary of state regarding listing the Commie Marxist Mulsim Bastard on the ballot.
The other concerns the Maricopa County Cold Case Posse doing its own investigation.
There are separate activities and not necessarily related. The story seems to assume they are both the same thing.
Hawaii is a co-conspirator.
As are ALL members of the 110th Congress.
Based on his behavior, his loyalties are divided. Or, rather, they do not lie with the United States of America. That, alone, should be enough to disqualify him in the eyes of the voters if not in the judgment of the law, whether or not he is NBC
Thanks ApplegateRanch.
That's incorrect. Josh Wisch said Monday that Bennett would need to provide legal authority showing his office is "a governmental agency or organization who for a legitimate government purpose maintains and needs to update official lists of persons in the ordinary course of the agency's or organization's activities."
Wisch told Bennett, specifically, what legal language to use to reword his request. Apparently, Bennett did that and received a confirmation.
Arizona did not ask Hawaii to "VERIFY" anything.
Arizona asked Hawaii to "CERTIFY" Obama's date, time and specific place of birth as well as the names of the birth parents as listed on the certificate of live birth and the name of the attending physician.
The difference between "verifying" and "certifying" is legal integrity and the attendant perjury penalties. NOBODY is certifying anything. That is quite telling.
MArk my words. These are the same people who claim Israel or America's birth are not legitimate.
Yeah, birther hypocrisy trash talk by liberals as usual.
Let me tell you something, if the AZ SOS changed his mind, what will the liberals say: Oh, he changed his mind cuz he wanted dollars to run for election and is corruptible or changeable? Or he changed his mind cuz he is a reasonable GOP man?
They cannot have it both ways. Either we are dealing with crookery and going along with it, or we are not.
Fact of the matter is, Democrates love slave labor and are well on their way to instate it and turn AMerica into Laogai camps.
Why do AMerican liberals think they are so special they will not get the Chinese treatment?
It's just like in Africa, they have to have their "african leader" in power to be legit, and not some "pesky colonizer" from Europe, as it is insulting or dishonorable.
I tell you what, the colonizers are the f@gs who want us to believe that we should turn away from the good fruits of heterosexuality and eat their sh!t as they eat their sh!t, so that all is equal and politically correct in society.
This is horsecrap.
I'm out all day but GET THIS.....local "conservative" radio KFYI.com
startin at 7 am local time w/ Host Barry Young are havin a birther call in...not to help mind ya, noooooo to attack those crazy birthers
again...kfyi.com for those interested
You know this and I know this but the problem is we know what the definition of "IS" is.
We are now dealing with a bunch of revampers revamping our history and re-defining our language. Without a Conservative president to nominate conservative judges with a conservative House and Senate to support those nominations this country is screwed. I personally don't think we can survive four more years with either Romney or Obomba at the helm and Romney "IS" a natural born citizen according to the definition you and I learned.
Seriously... Our Joint Cheifs should have removed obomba from office on day one. At the very least our House of Representatives should have impeached him in the first week after taking office. The list of attacks against the US Constitution since this beast has taken office give grounds for impeachment like none other.
Indeed, the SOS is treated to the liberal communist "birther paranoiac" "they are all insane" "let us shoot them for their own health" clap trap.
What fantasy?
The only ones fantasizing are communist "self-sufficiencers" who they cannot keep seeing d!cks and every brain around them and keep being vested in some of the most obvious trash because of some true to form CAPITALISTOPHOBIA.
A liberal is willing to ask a rapist for help in helping remove a mere little lizard, and that is the mark of the phobic. They always get manipulated and empowered by this pseudo-salvation that makes them believe that they are not the only ones crazy and phobic. These people are like the joker, they laugh, they laugh and they laugh, and they never see themselves laughing in their own arse - or they accept it with derision. AHaHAHAH... retards.
Barry mentioned seeing his birth certificate among his papers once, it's in his book. Isn't the liar in chief's word good enough for "you people"? < /sarc >
The legal definition of "to verify": "To make certain, to substantiate, or to confirm by formal oath, affirmation, or Affidavit."
Or Affidavit. To confirm by formal affidavit or even only affirmation. So, this "verification" could be nothing more than Granny Madelyn signing under duress an affidavit that she knows he was born in Hawaii. This could be registered in Hawaii, but it doesn't mean the registrar authenticated it, that any other supplementary documentation was submitted, or that the registrar accepted and certified it as true. The affidavit itself would "verify" that he was born there, but that doesn't make it so. It's only one piece of evidence and it may be all the evidence "on file" in Hawaii. Even so, carefully parsed, the spokesperson could tell Bennett and the media, as the HDOH once did, that somebody saw the "records that verify" that he was born in Hawaii. In other words, somebody went and looked at the affidavit (whether substantiated or not) and sure enuf! That affidavit verifies (in other words CLAIMS) that he was born there.
He hasn't been hiding this stuff for all these years for nothing. Whatever is there, he doesn't want anybody to SEE for themselves. Hawaii is in so deep now that they all have no choice but to continue to play games, stonewall, and pray they come out of this intact. History will show that they WILL NOT. Truth will out.
I quit listening to Barry Young a long time ago. That guy is so far up John McCain's butt he's wearing a hemorrhoid necklace.
ditto that.....and that witch who sponsers him makes me hurl too

Bills' Dareus excused from camp for court date in Alabama
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 21 2014 6:07PM
The Buffalo Bills got done with practice Monday and head coach Doug Marrone was once again asked about the process that star defensive tackle Marcell Dareus will go through to get back on the field.
During that answer, Marrone dropped a tidbit of information that Dareus actually wasn't in attendance at training camp on Monday, catching a few off guard.
"At the present time, I have excused Marcell," the coach revealed. "He is taking care of some personal stuff, but he'll be like everybody else. You've seen him before on the side, training and getting ready to pass the physical."
That "personal stuff" Marrone referred to was a court date in Alabama according to Jeff Russo of WKBW. At this hearing, the judge accepted Dareus into a pretrial program that could result in the dismissal of all his felony charges in Alabama if completed successfully.
In addition to the pretrial program, Dareus must also go through the NFL program regarding the same charges and "provide the court with periodic updates," according to Russo.
While Marrone didn't provide any of those specific facts, he did tell reporters that Dareus is expected to be back with the team at St. John Fisher College at some point on Monday night. That is not the only issue for Dareus, however.
As it was previously alluded to in Marrone's quote, the defensive tackle needs to pass a conditioning test in order to get on the field for the Bills. He failed the first test on Saturday and was promptly placed on the Active/Non-Football Injury list.
The head coach said it was the running portion of the conditioning test. The next time he'll take it will be when the team's weight coaches "feel that he's ready," according to Marrone.
ESPN's Sal Paolontonio told WGR Sports Radio 550 Monday morning that Dareus wouldn't take the test until Thursday or Friday at the earliest. The Bills get back on the practice field Tuesday morning at 8 am, likely without Dareus once again.

Gene Larew Rattln' Crawler 6pk
Featuring a quality one-ball glass rattle already inserted into its hollow body chamber, the Gene Larew Rattlin' Crawler delivers crazy rattling and thumping action at even the slowest retrieve speeds. Its oversized kick pads and unique arm angles create a ton of commotion in the water, and its flat body makes it an ideal flipping/pitching bait. Also a great "weedless crankbait" when rigged on any size Biffle HardHead, the Gene Larew Rattlin' Crawler even works as an awesome jig trailer.

Comments: Bought these in Florida before they were available in Il and really tore the fish up on them from Florida, Texas and Il. Helped our Bass club come in 2nd place at state qualifier. Really work well in dirty or stained water. Only draw back is that you can't thread them on a jig you must Texas rig. When fishing for smallmouth I prefer an exposed hook. Still on of my favorites and has made my hot box for all tournaments.
From: Ron: Chicago, IL 5/12/15
Comments: This one has become my favorite even over the orig. Biffle bug! Already has the rattle inside(remove if you like or as conditions dictate, or use scent or even foam inside the rattle chamber to float it more)and has great leg action! Crank it, swim it, hop it, doesn't matter how... JUST FISH IT! I've even done a sort of mini carolina rig with a tungsten worm weight in the grass! It's much more durable than the original as well, and can last several more fish per lure. The weight of the hard head determines my desired depth of fishing. TRY EM, they'll definitely catch fish, large and smallmouth alike!!!
From: Greg: Butler, PA 5/28/14
Comments: When my fishing buddy bought some of these I thought this was just another bait that looked good to fishermen, but wouldn't produce many bass. Was I ever wrong! This bait catches bass when hardly anything else is working. There have been a couple of trips that we would have been nearly skunked if not for this bait. I like to use it with a weighted hook and work it slow, making contact with structure. However, sometimes it produces swimming it.
From: Red: Wilburton, Oklahoma, USA
Comments: In a recent tournament on Lake Springfield (IL) this bait saved my butt and put a check in my pocket. I fished it fast with bottom contact on a Biffle Hard Head (7/16oz) along a sunbathed retaining wall with a rocky bottom. I picked up 3 keepers in 20 minutes and just missed a fourth. The water was dirty everywhere in the lake, and I'm convinced the noise and displacement of this bait brought them in. It was my first time fishing this particular bait, but it definitely won't be my last. Thanks Gene Lerew!

Stormers captain Deon Fourie scored the only two tries of the game as the Stormers beat the Kings 24-12 in a dour South African derby.
Stormers captain Deon Fourie scored the only two tries of the game as the Stormers beat the Kings 24-12 in a dour South African derby at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday.
Fourie scored in the closing minutes of each half in what was a very hotly-contested affair in Port Elizabeth.
The Stormers led 11-9 at the interval thanks to a try from on rolling maul on the stroke of half time.
The visitors had the better of the possession stats but had to wait until the 39th minute to take the lead for the first time as they struggled to get on top of a dogged Kings outfit in a hard-fought first half.
The pattern continued in the second half and the result hung in the balance until Fourie's second try in the 76th minute.
Demetri Catrakilis kicked the Kings into a 6-0 lead early on but penalties from Elton Jantjies and Joe Pietersen saw the Stormers draw level after a harsh yellow card was handed to King prop Grant Kemp.
Catrakilis edged the Kings back in front with his third penalty but the Stormers took a two-point lead into the changing rooms after Deon Fourie touched down at the back of a rolling maul with the last play of the half.
Jantjies and Catrakilis exchanged three-pointers to leave the scores at 14-12 to the visitors going in the final quarter.
Jantjies again found the target in the 72st minute to stretch the gap to five points before Fourie produced a great solo effort to break off a maul, beat a number of tackles and score the match-winning try.
The scorers:
For Kings:
Pens: Catrakilis 4
Yellow card: Kemp (14th min – shoulder charge)
For Stormers:
Tries: Fourie 2
Con: Jantjies

The Emery County Interagency Local Council teamed up with Child Abuse Prevention Utah to sponsor an evening of education and fun for families. The event, Family Night: Keeping Kids Safe, was held at the Emery County Recreation Center in Castle Dale. It began with dinner and a short presentation by Shelley Chamberlain and Carrie Jensen of Prevent Child Abuse Utah from Salt Lake City.
Chamberlain said that in 2004, 21,000 children were reported as abused in the State of Utah. "The Delta Center will hold about 18,000, so imagine it filled to capacity and an additional 3,000 children standing outside. That is a staggering amount of children affected by abuse," said Chamberlain. "Of those 21,000 children, 12,582 had a foster care case opened."
She went on to say, "Sixty-six percent of those children were abused by a parent, 12 percent were abused by another relative, and 22 percent were abused by strangers, neighbors, teachers, siblings, daycare providers, etc. Child abuse is defined as 'to hurt or harm a child who is 17 years old or younger on purpose.'"
The breakdown of the types of abuse are: 31 percent are domestic violence; 15 percent are neglect; 14 percent are sexual abuse; 11 percent are physical abuse; and 6 percent are emotional abuse. In Utah, a child only needs to hear their parents in a domestic dispute for it to be considered abuse.
Parents can avoid abusing their children by learning good parenting skills. (1) Understand your child's behavior and needs and don't let your own needs outweigh those of your child. (2) Develop your parenting style. Most parenting programs deal with setting up family rules and then using natural consequences and consistent follow through. (3) Understand what normal development is and do not have unrealistic expectations for your child. Adults who do not understand normal stages of development in children may expect them to behave in ways beyond their capacity. Speak with your child's doctor, research on the internet, and check books out of the library on child development. (4) Get your emotional needs met. Adults who do not relate well to other adults may expect children to satisfy their needs for love, protection, self-esteem, and sexual gratification. (5) Have a support system. Adults who have no support system, who are isolated geographically or emotionally from family and friends, may take out their frustration on children. (6) Limit drug and alcohol use. Problems with drugs and alcohol abuse limit the ability of adults to care properly for children. (7) Deal with major disruptions in your normal way of life-death, divorce, loss of income, illness or injury. Don't be afraid to ask others for help and support. (8) Work on your communication skills. (9) Work on your anger management skills. (10) Parents can work to keep their children safe in their own home, but we need to ensure their safety when they are away from us. Currently there are abuse cases in the news about children being abused at school by teachers and other students, children being abused while at church, and by day care providers.
Most of the time when a child is abused they know the person that is hurting them. So we need to teach our children more than stranger danger rules, we need to teach them safety rules. Teach your children the different types of abuse and what to do if they are being hurt. Keep an open line of communication with your child so they feel comfortable coming to you if they need help.
Jensen introduced the children to Safety Saurus. Safety Saurus is a puppet who taught the children the three safety rules in a song. Listen to the uh-oh feeling, say no, and go tell are the rules.
Following the Safety Saurus song, Jensen handed out games and prizes. The games are designed to teach parents how to teach the children to keep themselves safe.
For more information or help with a problem concerning child abuse, contact Gareldine Wright at 435-381-2827.

I had my trip to Hong Kong and stayed in Mong Kok Apt 4 from Cathy. Cathy is good and helpful, we meet her at MTR Mongkok station exit E2 and walk to the building within 5min, it is near and easy to find. The apartment is clean as she promise and space enough for us 4 person.
All facilities for us is useful and in good condition.
We all 4 was satisfy and happy to stay in this apartment with great location and condition.
thanks Cathy
Cathy was a god sent as BA managed to loose 2 of our suitcases. She told me all we needed to know about the apartment and the only issue we had was that the induction cooker would sometimes cut out due to overheating but we hardly cooked during our stay anyway so was not really a problem.
The apartment is clean, well equipped and fully air-conditioned and as it's on the top floor we had no issue with noise whatsoever.
Cathy was excellent and I would definitely stay in the apartment again.
Would definitely stay there again and with Cath
comfortable and happy stay in this place and owner very nice also.. thank you
love staying there and would rent again
cathy's apartment is just perfect for us. its close to shopping and mtr. we had a great time staying in the apartment and would love to stay again in the future. by the way, cathy is a great host.
we arrive in hk at 9pm on dec 28 2013 and we meet cathy at argyle st when we get off in the bus anyway cathy's place is a good choice for people who want a place near for everything that they want aside from being called as sneakers st.it is also near in the famous lady's market and not to mention the mtr where you can go to anywhere you want in just a few minutes. all in all cathy is a good host as well as her place if ever i will go back to hk iwill choose again to stay in her place
Cathy's apartment is a spacious quiet place for four of us to sleep over. It's a stroll to Mong Kok MTR lined by bright sign boards, stalls and shops, especially sports shoe shops. We liked the cool kettle and caught some great local variety show on the big handsome TV. To make this a better place, we would like to suggest a body length mirror in the hall. In the evening, we felt cold and a heat radiator will definitely be a plus. Thanks Cathy!
Cathy is very helpful and the apartment my family is staying is very clean. MTR within walking distance. Will definitely recommend to those who wishes to stay in Mongkok.
We had a very good time in Hongkong and sure in our appatrtement. Everything was well organised. Cathy was waiting for us and explained everything. The appartment was the Money well worth it. It is not big for many people but it had everything you need. There was also WiFi free and it is in a good place from Hongkong, Mongkok. We liked it and had a very good time. We will recommend it to every people who will travelling to Hongkong.
Cathy thank you very much.
Excellent location, indeed convenient and easy to excess. The apartment is clean, tidy, like it. People there are so nice, so as Cathy.

I think Bruno went too far. I would have punched him.Eminem stormed out of the MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night after outrageous funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen literally landed in his lap.
The rapper had just performed a medley of new hits and was sitting in the audience when the daring Brit - as his Austrian fashion expert character Bruno - flew overhead in a dove outfit, chanting, "Ich bin Bruno. Ich bin dove of peace."
Cohen's outrageous alter-ego 'suffered' an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction - baring his naked backside, he landed upside down on rapper Eminem's lap.
The Stan hitmaker screamed, "Are you serious? Are you f**kin' serious?" as his entourage rushed to free the rapper.
What appeared to be a joke quickly turned awkward when it seemed apparent that Eminem wasn't in on the gag.
As a suspended Cohen cracked jokes about the incident, stating, "Is the real Slim Shady about to stand up?" Eminem and his entourage left their seats and walked out of the Universal Ampitheater.
Before the awards started, Cohen was stunning red carpet reporters - he turned up as Bruno, wearing a leopard skin Speedo-style swimming trunks and T-shirt ensemble, topped off with a matching Bavarian hunter's hat.

A mighty oak falls: David Hartman dies
Sandy Levinson
David Hartman, one of the leading contemporary philosophers of Judaism (and, particularly, Moses Maimonides) died today in Jerusalem. He played an important part of my life, not least by emphasizing the sheer craziness (ofen his word, not only mine), both descriptively and normatively, of treating Jewish law (halacha) as unchanging. One of his major books, significantly, was titled The Living Covenant, and it is not difficult to see analogies between Hartman's vision of Judaism and, say, Jack Balkin's vision of redemptive constitutionalism. (Jack participated in a Hartman conference that I organized back in 1994 or so comparing Jewish and American techniques of interpretation.)
Baruch Dayyan Emet. Hartman was a teacher and a public intellectual in the best sense of those terms. He believed both in what he argued and in the value of reasoned argument. I did not share all of his positions, but I respect how he lived those positions and allowed others to live theirs as well. Zaycher tzaddik livrachah.

Alibaba Group divides into 25 business units.
Don Davis
Alibaba Group claims to sell more goods to online shoppers than Amazon.com Inc. and eBay Inc. combined, but the Chinese e-commerce giant aims to remain nimble. With that in mind, the company announced this week plans to divide itself into 25 business units, the company's third reorganization in less than two years.
"We are going to make the most difficult organizational and cultural transformation in Alibaba's 13-year history," chairman and CEO Jack Ma wrote in an e-mail to the company's 24,000 employees, according to the company's Alizila blog. Ma urged employees to "work together to make every business unit small but beautiful, and enable them to collaboratively drive the development of and create value for the ecosystem."
The change will keep Alibaba agile at a time when China's Internet industry is changing rapidly, says Alibaba chief financial officer Joe Tsai.
"Rather than looking at six or seven big business groups, each of the 25 units could be a significant player in their industry and be very influential," he said. For example, he says, for the first time Alibaba has broken out online travel as a separate division.
Alibaba split itself into seven business units in July. A year earlier, it divided its Taobao marketplace business into three units.
These reorganizations are Ma's response to the rapid evolution of e-commerce in China, says Ernie Diaz, director of Beijing-based online marketing firm Web Presence in China. "As the breakneck development of Chinese e-commerce ramifies into ever more profitable sub-industries: cloud hosting, display advertising, affiliate marketing, et al, Jack sees that the only way for Alibaba to remain a giant on the e-landscape is to create dedicated subdivisions to influence and dominate that development," Diaz says. "Keeping these subdivisions integrated rather than siloed will be the issue that defines the success of this new tactic."
These changes come as Alibaba reports ongoing growth and heads for a likely initial public offering of stock this year or next. The company says its two big online marketplaces in China—Taobao for smaller sellers and Tmall for larger brands—exceeded 1 trillion yuan worth of sales ($161 billion) in the first eleven months of 2012, a month ahead of company projections. Company executives expect those sales to triple in the next five years, putting Alibaba in position to challenge Wal-Mart Stores Inc. as the world's largest retailer.
Taobao and Tmall dominate online retailing in China, accounting for 81.5% of online purchases by Chinese shoppers in 2011, according to data from investment firm Macquarie Capital Securities Limited. That helps account for the $40 billion market valuation of Alibaba, based on the $7.6 billion it paid Yahoo Inc. in September for about half of its 40% stake in the Chinese firm.
Alibaba also scored a coup last month when the U.S. government removed Alibaba from a list of marketplaces where counterfeit and pirated goods are freely sold.

Long before Saucony became one of the world's most innovative producers of high-performance running shoes, it was a modestly sized kids' footwear company based in rural Pennsylvania. Over time, Saucony expanded its product line to include carpet slippers, ice skates, bowling shoes, and even astronaut boots, but didn't achieve lasting fame until it began making top-quality trainers. The Jazz Original was lean, mean, slim and light, but so technologically advanced that serious runners clamored for them as though they were gold medals. Available in bright and bold color combinations, the Jazz Original remains one of Saucony's top-selling items, along with the super-lightweight ProGrid Kinvara, the open-mesh Triumph, and the Mirage. In addition to shoes — divided into categories such as track & field, cross-country, and trail-running to meet every runner's precise need — Saucony offers a full collection of men's and women's athletic clothing to keep you serious sprinters comfortably outdoors year-round.

When conversations begin between a senior and their family about making a moving to a retirement community, the topic is often met with several objections. The last part of the Senior Lifestyle Options Series helps to address the most common objections and also the emotions involved with the entire process.
Objection #1 – I don't need to move, I am just fine in my home. Generally if the discussion is being had, there is something going on that is predicating the conversation. Maybe it is becoming apparent that the home is becoming too much to care for. Although it was the perfect size for raising a family, it is now too large for just one or two people. It may be that the senior themselves can no longer manage on their own. They are having difficulty managing their own medications or making meals. Things like showering or going down the basement stairs to do laundry just isn't safe anymore. This objection is often given but may be really coming from objection #2.
Objection #2 – If I give up my home, I give up my independence. This is one of the most common misconceptions when it comes to making a move to a retirement community. All our lives we are taught to go to school, get a good job, have a family and buy your own house. For a senior, they have retired from their job and their family has grown. What is left…their home.
What once was a sign of success and a sanctuary to them, is now a great burden. They use to take pride in their yard and their gardens and now, can no longer push the lawn mower or weed the garden. They have to hire someone else to do it and it isn't quite the way they like it done. Inside the house, where it used to be cleaned top to bottom every spring and fall, now has dust in the corners and sorely needs painting. Someone can be hired to do all these things but there is great deal to do to coordinate it and then there is the cost involved.
Objection #3 – I'm not moving to "a home." Today's senior comes from the generation that you either stayed in your home or moved to a nursing home. When they were caring for their parents, those were the only two options. They don't realize that now there are so many more options for them. Even the nursing homes of many years ago which were very institutional and hospital-like are very different today. Sometimes the best thing to do is to take them to a retirement community. They may have a friend that has made the decision to make a move. This is often helpful because they too, went through the same emotions and may have had the same objections. Go visit during an open house. It is less threatening than a private appointment and it gives them an opportunity to look around and realized it is not at all what they thought it would be.
Objection #4 – It is cheaper for me to live in my home than it is to move to a retirement community. When today's senior bought their house, if they had a mortgage payment, it was $100 or $200 per month and that was their biggest expense each month. It is hard from them to imagine paying $2,000 to $4,000 to live in a retirement community. Sometimes the best way to address this is on paper. Begin by writing down all of their expenses. Include the following:
Utilities – Most communities include gas, electric, water, sewer and possibly cable.
Food – Most communities offer one to three meals each day.
Transportation – Most communities offer some type of transportation. The senior can certainly keep their car but if they can no longer drive or decide to give up their car, this service is invaluable. Figure in the cost of car maintenance and insurance and also the cost of alternate transportation such as taxi service or busing. Think about all that is involved in coordinating alternate transportation for doctor's appointment and shopping. Although there isn't a dollar figure associated with that, it is a definite consideration.
Housekeeping – Most communities offer weekly or biweekly housekeeping. Even if they currently do not have someone coming in their home to clean, they may need to hire someone in order to remain in their home.
Home Maintenance – This should include day-to-day maintenance from a handyman, as well as major repairs such as roof replacement, painting, appliance replacement, etc.
Lawn Service and Snow Removal – Although this may be only a few hundred dollars per season, it is important to think about what happens if the plowing service hasn't cleared the driveway yet and you have to get to a appointment. Also the service may not include shoveling a path to the door and it may not be safe for the senior to do it.
School and Property Taxes – Although they are annual, average it out to a monthly cost.
Homeowner's Insurance – The community may require renter's insurance however, it is usually a fraction of homeowner's insurance.
Emergency Response System – Many communities include this service in their fees so you no longer need the system you have or may need.
Entertainment – Retirement communities generally have an activities program with wellness, educational, spiritual and social opportunities. Think about the costs that would be associated with these opportunities.
Homecare/Aide Service – If you are getting assistance in your home with your personal care or medication management, you will want to include this cost especially if you are looking at assisted living.
Besides the dollar amount associated with each of these expenses, you need to think about what goes beyond these costs. It includes the peace of mind knowing that you don't have to worry about these things anymore. Can you put a dollar amount on that? Most seniors today either lived through the depression or experienced the immediate affects from it. It was ingrained in them to save, save, save, for a rainy day. Now is the rainy day.
These all may be typical objections that are raised but it really is about the emotions involved. It is fear of the unknown and having to face that it isn't as easy to do things anymore. It is the feeling that if they need help, they are going to lose control of their independence. But it is necessary to step back and look at the little independence they have as they struggle in their home.
The sooner you begin to think about senior living options, the better. It may take some time to get through the objections and get to a point of moving forward. Don't wait until it is a crisis before thinking about or discussing the options. You don't want to be in a position that someone else is making the decisions. You want to empower yourself with everything you need to make an informed decision.

Indian miniature painting is rich in stories: from epic legends of heroic gods, Mughal emperors and Rajput rulers, to love stories both sad and joyous. These small, intimate paintings are often ornamented with delicate, decorative borders. Traditionally, they were mounted onto coloured paper and compiled into albums to relate the life of a Mughal emperor or a great Hindu legend.
The paintings in A Stream of Stories Indian Miniatures from the National Gallery of Australia date from the 17th century to the early 20th century. They include works from the Mughal courts and provincial areas, Hindu paintings ripe with symbolism from Rajasthan and the Punjab, bold Kalighat paintings produced for pilgrims to Calcutta in the late 19th century and modern paintings from the nationalistic Bengal School. Each painting provides an insight into the richness and diversity of Indian art, culture and religion.
All of the works in the exhibition are from the Gayer-Anderson Gift, a collection of more than 200 Indian and other Asian works donated by the Irish identical twin brothers Colonel T.G. and Major R.G. Gayer-Anderson to the Commonwealth of Australia in 1954.
A Stream of Stories is the first exhibition of Indian art specifically developed for touring. Its launch marks the 10th birthday of the National Gallery's Travelling Exhibitions Program of exhibitions across Australia. Throughout 1998 A Stream of Stories will tour to Port Adelaide and Millicent, South Australia; Geraldton, Western Australia; Hamilton, Victoria; and Mackay and Brisbane, Queensland.
