If you consider yourself a true caffeine addict, consider the latest from Popular Science magazine: It would take at least six gallons of McDonald's coffee to kill a person (no word on how many Egg McMuffins would do the job).
Following a recent lawsuit against manufacturers of Monster energy drinks, Popular Science spoke to the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Caffeine Research, Jack James, who confirmed that it takes about 10 pure grams of caffeine to achieve lethal levels.
Popular Science reports that the Mayo Clinic says the average adult can safely consume 200 to 300 mg of caffeine per day, the equivalent of about two to four cups of coffee. However, consuming more than 500 mg per day can trigger things like irregular heartbeats, insomnia and muscle tremors.
A wrongful death suit was filed against Monster energy drinks, claiming that 14-year-old Anais Fournier drank two 24-ounce cans of Monster in the day before she unexpectedly died in 2011.
"Caffeine toxicity of the kind experienced by Ms. Fournier (if, indeed, that is what she experienced) is not well understood," James told Popular Science. "There is speculation in the literature regarding the possibility of some individuals having a peculiar sensitivity to caffeine, but there is no clear definition or understanding of what such sensitivity might be."

Two new guides have been issued about the history of Brackley and Towcester.
Did you know that Brackley was the birthplace of the Magna Carta or that Towcester can lay claim to having its very own Pope? These are among the interesting facts in two new guides The Heritage of Towcester and The Heritage of Brackley.
Produced as part of the award-winning Explore series of tourism information produced by South Northamptonshire Council (SNC) these guides begin with the origins of the towns and lead up to their present day.
Director of development, Calvin Bell said: "Steeped in layers of history both market towns have much to offer the visitor and these eye-catching guides illustrate beautifully the journey these towns have taken to become the vibrant places they are today.
"Both of these guides contain a great range of events suitable for the whole family, which not only provide a great day out but also help boost the local economy."
The guides can be downloaded at www.southnorthants.gov.uk//tourism or picked up from our offices in Towcester and Brackley. They also feature on the tourism phone app which is available on Apple iOS systems such as the iPhone and iPad and can be downloaded from the Apple store, and for Android devices it is available from the Google Play store. For more information visit www.southnorthants.gov.uk/explore.htm

The Old Song and Dance
Christina, Dearest
The past year has been one very long audition for Christina Aguilera, but by now she's a shoo-in for the Joan Crawford part in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? She's got the hair, the eyebrows, plus that mix of frosty arrogance and neediness. She also has enough piercings on her tiny frame to be her own wire hanger.
Now X-tina can play a pop star who is confined to a wheelchair and forced to eat her own parrot by her insanely jealous sister, a has-been child star once played by Bette Davis. I'm not sure anything can match the sight of a 50-something Bette Davis in heavy face powder, blonde pigtails, and a little pinafore dress, licking a lollipop and singing on the beach before going to jail, but Ana Faris of the Scary Movie trilogy would give it her best shot.
She is my new favorite not-so-dumb blonde, with her big, sincere Bambi eyes and her fearless commitment to even the crudest, lamest jokes. She may be this generation's Judy Holliday, and I would pay good money to see Ana dance around and torment Christina. Hopefully they'd end up in the first duel to the death by makeup and fright wigs.
Single and Casting
Enrique Iglesias has turned casting into a big game of Mystery Date. Every music video involves him getting it on quite sweatily with some famously gorgeous female (Anna Kournikova, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Mischa Barton of The O.C); he's the Santa Claus of MTV, checking off his hottie list. Maybe at awards shows, he passes them notes that say: "You're cute, wanna make out? Check yes, no, or other."
I make lists of actors for my job all the time, so Enrique inspired me to invite a few to my video shoot. R.S.V.P.'s are still pending, but I'm getting pretty good at singing "Hero" intelligibly while kissing my hand.
Meanwhile, some people are sticking with tried-and-true screen relationships, like Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, who may possibly reteam for a sequel to The Mask of Zorro. Right actors, wrong movie! The Mask of Zorro was a terrific romp, but a sequel could very easily turn into a bloated, ridiculous The Mummy Returns type of affair.
The Return of More Musicals
I'd rather see the pair film the musical Man of La Mancha, since no one has made a satisfying version yet. They are both legitimately talented singers, good actors, and, importantly, the right ages for the characters. Banderas is at that point of middle age where he could convincingly look much older as Don Quixote, while Zeta-Jones is at the peak of her womanly powers to embody the prostitute Aldonza.
This movie could amaze if kept straightforward and strong, with a director who knows that musicals do not have to be flashy spectacles, and whose style has more in common with Oliver! than Moulin Rouge.
A little dirty realism would do a lot for a new Brigadoon. The original had the vibrant Gene Kelly, but it was filmed on obvious soundstages, and dressed 18th century Scottish villagers in shiny, bright colors and ballet slippers. The mythic romance of the story would be ruined by too much cynicism, but it would be enhanced by authentic locations and costumes. Then the village is magical to a 21st century city boy because of its natural stink, sweat, and simplicity.
For cultural sensitivity, it'd be nice if the man who stumbles upon Brigadoon is a modern Scotsman himself, so the fish-out-of-water moments are due to the difference between past and present, not between Americans and a Lord of the Dance touring company.
That was a long-winded excuse to have Ewan McGregor star in another musical. But he was the reason Moulin Rouge had a heart, and based on his lovely rendition of "Your Song," he'd knock out a classic like "Almost Like Bein' In Love".
If Adam Sandler were the wise-cracking foil for McGregor, he'd get a chance to show off his surprisingly good singing as well as his serious side, when his character is responsible for a death late in the film. And Kate Winslet is my favorite for Fiona; hopefully her singing voice is still strong and high enough since she quit smoking.
I have no such sacred feelings toward Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, but everybody's seen it, and it has the potential to be the kind of popular spectacle I dismissed earlier. However, the music is extremely demanding, and actors who have been interested in the past, like John Travolta, do not have the vocal range to pull it off.
You know who has the power to sing those songs? Jack Black. Seriously. On his Tenacious D albums, while he curses and gives bad sex advice, he reaches incredible rock- operatic heights. And he's love-him-or-hate-him-intense, kind of like this show.
There aren't many women in this world who can sing the part of Christine, either, but the one with the most potential is Beyonce Knowles, who gets better with each film and may have those scary glass-breaking notes in her if she tries.
Although, if you want truly scary, reverse the gender roles.
Barbara Streisand is . . . the Phantom.
Just imagine her famous profile with the half-mask, brandishing her perfectly manicured nails as she beckons to her young male protege, Enrique Iglesias. Hey, that deal might really work out someday; I hear she's 37th on his list.

DEWA to build 97 new substations to meet future energy demand
DEWA to build 97 new substations to meet future energy demand
DEWA plans to build 97 new 132/11 kilovolt (kV) substations over the next three years, at a projected cost of Dh10 billion. This shows DEWA's commitment to meeting growing demand for energy in Dubai. The new substations will be located at Hassyan, the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, and other locations to support the expansion of other power plants in Jebel Ali and Al Aweer.
"We are inspired by the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to plan for the development of the infrastructure required to meet increasing electricity and water demand in the Emirate. This will contribute to achieving Dubai's ambitious urban objectives. We provide services at the highest levels of efficiency, availability and reliability to over 788,824 customers, with a customer happiness rating of 95 per cent recorded for 2016. DEWA is also expanding its electricity and water services by developing new stations and upgrading existing ones, according to the latest world-class practices. DEWA is working to increase its use of clean and renewable energy, launch smart initiatives, and adopt creativity and innovation in all its operations. DEWA's total production capacity reached 10,000 megawatts (MW) in 2016, while its peak load was 7,982MW, compared to 7,696MW in 2015. DEWA's peak load capacity grew by 4 per cent. We have allocated a total budget of Dh 65 billion over the next five years to meet future demand," said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA. . .
"DEWA recorded a rate of 3.28 customer minutes lost, compared to European companies averaging 15 minutes. Water losses in the distribution network decreased to 8 per cent during 2016, compared to 15 per cent in North America. The UAE, represented by DEWA, has been ranked first in the Middle East and North Africa and fourth globally for the fourth consecutive year for getting electricity, as per the World Bank's Doing Business 2017 report," said Al Tayer.

Recently, one of my readers made me aware of a post from a blog called Work Save Live, where a reader wrote in and asked the author's opinion of her budget and her financial situation. Normally this types of post bores the crap out of me, since it's either from somebody who has disaster finances, or from someone who loves their budget so much that they want an intellectual masturbation partner.
This post though, was different. It contained so many suggestions that were, well, the opposite of right. We're gonna have to delve right in. Take it away, Captain Wrong: (I have been informed his real name is Jason)
I love the fact that they already had things broken down into this amount of detail. It speaks volumes that they have no consumer debt and have a decent amount already saved for emergencies.
The people in question have $9000 worth of assets and $40k worth of debt. It "speaks volumes" that they have a negative $31k net worth? This guy must be easily impressed or something.
I'll give them credit, they've paid down some debt. But to fellate them to this degree after accomplishing a little is like entering your 6 year old in the Tour de France right after you take off his training wheels. (Cycling! Topical!)
Furthermore, the fact that they have a goal of traveling and are saving towards that end shows they're organized, disciplined, and are willing to sacrifice to meet those goals.
Jeez, this guy sure does kiss reader ass, huh?
"Not only are my readers all attractive, but their penises are GIGANTIC. Oh, and their tears cure Leprosy in starving African children."
Okay, onto the actual crap. Cause I've read ahead, and there's a lot of it.
Tithe – the fact that they believe in giving, and particularly giving to a local church, is a tremendous thing. Considering their disposable income and the flexibility they have, I'd encourage to give a little more sacrificially.
Great start, dumbass author. Maybe they should get that net worth back to zero before going nuts with the tithing? You know, take care of their own finances before worrying about other people's. But then again, I may be biased against the tithing.
Life Insurance – now that they're married it's a great time for them to consider getting life insurance.
Really? Even though they have no dependents?
Look at getting a 20 or 30-year term policy for $450,000 for income earner #1 and $600,000 on income earner #2.
Nope. Unnecessary expense.
While it's possible that each of them could live off of their own incomes (if something were to happen to the other), reality is that they'll get used to living off both incomes and they'll be taking on debt in a few years in the form of a mortgage.
Buying life insurance now to cover for a hypothetical mortgage they might get in a few years is a terrific idea. Do you know why? Because flushing money down the toilet would take too long, and this way they can waste money more efficiently. It's genius, really.
Why do people insist on buying life insurance when they have no dependents? Sure, there's a tiny risk that you'll be uninsurable in the future, but I'd worry about things more likely to happen. Like being the starting center fielder for the Chicago Cubs. Or me actually getting a girlfriend.
Term life is exceptionally cheap and I believe $75/month (total) is about right. I imagine they could do better assuming they're healthy and neither of them smoke.
Hey, do you know what's $75/month cheaper? NOT GETTING LIFE INSURANCE UNTIL YOU HAVE DEPENDENTS.
Based on our conversation I believe they'll find employment, prior to the wife's company moving, without an issue. However, it's always nice (and wise) to have the added protection of an emergency fund in case things don't turn out as planned.
With that in mind, I'd have a goal of saving a total of 6-months worth of living expenses and build up your emergency fund to a total of $22,000.
Hold on a second.
kitten hobo, strangles it)
22 thousand dollars sitting in an emergency fund when they owe 40 thousand dollars in student loans. Did this guy graduate from the Finance Fox school of personal finance? (Located in Wrong, Ontario) Wait, I forgot. It's wrong for me to assume PF bloggers should know basic accounting.
The reason I suggest doing this and delaying paying extra on debt is for two reasons: (1) there is a storm brewing…they're not sure if it will be a hurricane or just a little thunderstorm, and (2) if they secure employment shortly before (or after) the wife leaves her job, then they'll have a LARGE stash of cash that they can pay down towards debt.
They have a whole year for the wife to find a new job. Plus, assuming she's the lower income earner (making $2900 per month), they can probably survive on the $3800 a month the husband makes. And, he's in no danger of losing his job. Plus there's like a thousand bucks a month for things like tithing and saving for vacations. There's plenty of fat they can cut if she can't find a job.
But no, go ahead and sit on a giant pile of cash that they'll never use. Maybe they can earn 1.1% interest on it, rather than using it to pay off student loans at 5%. (I'm just assuming the exact rate here) If they could only find a way to do that with a MILLION DOLLARS, THEY'D BE RICH!
Once they've determined exactly how much they need for the trip, I'd then take all of the disposable income each month ($2700 in addition to the $250 already being saved) and add it to the vacation fund. At month 7 of this plan, they'll have $4,450 saved and at the end of month 8 they will have $7,400. I'm not sure how much it'll cost, but $7.5k should be close to enough.
If I was in charge of the PF-sphere, I'd automatically shut down the blog of anyone who says it's okay to go on an expensive vacation before paying off debt. These people could get rid of their debt in like a year if they were serious about it. Then they could spend like 3 months saving up for this holiday, and enjoy a holiday while being debt free. A year. That's it. Are we so impatient that we can't even wait a year to take care of business before taking a dream vacation?
3. Rock That Debt
With the emergency fund sitting at $22,000 thousand dollars (in 6 months) and the vacation fund completed, they've now freed up all of that money they were saving and will have a disposable income of $2,950/month.
I can't keep going. This dude is just so stupid.
Here's what gets me about this whole thing. All the commenters agree with him. Of course they do, because it's all Yakezie groupthink. But still.
They all think this couple deserves some expensive exotic vacation. They've been out of college for all of 6 frickin months. For God's sake, maybe it's time to buckle down and work a little? What happened to waiting to do things? These dumbasses all think it's okay to work a little toward paying off the debt, then taking a very expensive break, and then finishing. Shouldn't the vacation be the reward for paying off the debt? Wouldn't that make said vacation much sweeter? Am I the only person in the world who thinks they should accomplish something before taking a GODDAMN DREAM VACATION?
If anybody wonders why there are bruises on my forehead, it's because I'll be spending the next two hours banging my head against the wall.

In this article, Johnstone confirms Gorgia's assertions about the magical effects of oratory rhetoric in ENCOMIUM OF HELEN with evidence from contemporary research in pscyho-phisiology. After presenting research positing that (as Gorgias understood and articulated) oral langauge has cognitive and emotional effects on a listener, and thus, psychological power, Johnstone concludes with a couple of claims that raise questions related to disability studies. Johnstone writes that we would to well to sustain Gorgias' belief that "the persuasive power of logos cannot be understood apart from the sounds of speech….spoken rhetoric has been an embodied art, its practice inseperable from the voice that utters it" (12). I appreciate Johnstone's attempts to emphasize the power of spoken rhetoric, for presentation and delivery to contribute in significant ways to how rhetoric is both produced and consumed. I wonder, however, about the implicatons of Johnstone's claims for the hearing impaired or persons with other disabilities who cannot hear the power of which Gorgias and Johnstone speak. If we embrace the notion that the persuasive power of logos cannot be seperated from sound, utterance, etc., then does that mean that those without ability to hear cannot experience the power of spoken rhetoric. Does that mean that logos can only be expressed through the spoken word? I agree with Johnstone in that we should be acutely aware of the power voice plays in spoken rhetoric. I do wonder though if we often give too much credit to voice in spoken rhetoric. What role does body language play in the persuasive power of spoken rhetoric? Can we seperate logos from body language? Most associate the ability to reason with the ability to verbally articulate reason, yet don't we make logical appeals through other means than the voice? While it is certainly useful to focus our research on the emotional and cognitive effects of the spoken word, it would behoove us to begin researching the emotional and cognitive affects of body language employed in oral rhetoric. This research would deepen our understanding of the pyschological effects of oral rhetoric articulated through the body, but perhaps more importantly, it would deepen our understanding of how those with certain disabilities both persuade and are persuaded through logical appeals in ways previously not understood.

MISSION, KS--(Marketwired - Feb 24, 2016) - (Family Features) When your to-do list is miles long and deadlines are looming, it can be hard to tap into a creative, problem-solving mindset. Creating a more intentional approach to productivity will let you shift gears to not only cross items of your list, but to deliver higher quality, more effective work.
1. Keep a notebook and pen on hand at all times. When inspiration strikes is the best time to capture your ideas so you can include the context, references and other details that allow you to develop the concept more completely later on. Keeping all your thoughts and ideas locked up in your head can cloud your ability to dedicate your attention where it's needed most. Transfer all that brain power to paper or a smart folio like the Bamboo Spark, which allows you to export content to an app on your iOS or Android device, to free up brain power for better function.
2. Create to-do lists and prioritize tasks. Start each morning by reviewing what's on deck for the day. Putting your list to paper (or screen) frees your mind from trying to keep an ever-changing list of tasks straight. Categorize your to-dos and assign priorities to help you manage your time, and at the end of each day, take stock to cross off completed items, reprioritize those that remain and add new projects that will require your attention soon.
3. Give yourself permission to slow down and think. Technology has assuredly enabled greater efficiency at the office, but it brings some limitations as well. Sometimes, simply allowing yourself the time to sit with a pen and paper is the best way to let new ideas flow, free from the distractions of incoming mail and from the confines of thoughts conveyed through keystrokes. Sketching, drawing, even creating diagrams and outlines are visual outlets that can help you explore new concepts and solve nagging problems.
"I think that there's always a benefit to taking a step back and trying to be mindful," entrepreneur John Gannon, CEO and co-founder of BEMAVEN, said in this video. "Every morning I write a journal. I write about the things I'm thankful for, the things I have on my mind then I also generate 10 ideas a day. I decided to try the Bamboo Spark to have a more organic experience of actually putting pen to paper."
4. Set boundaries on your multitasking. Today's corporate culture rewards the greatest jugglers, but dividing your attention in too many directions can actually be counterproductive. Learn to designate times when you'll simply eliminate interruptions to keep your focus sharp. This may mean turning off your notifications during meetings, shutting down your email for an hour each day to tackle a task uninterrupted or forwarding calls when you need to cut back on distractions.
5. Take regular breaks. It may seem unrealistic when the clock is ticking its way toward a deadline, but stepping away can actually help you regain focus and allow you to complete a difficult task more efficiently. Instead of staring at a blank screen in frustration, grant yourself a 10-minute break to get up, move around and grab a fresh cup of coffee or some water. A brief recharge can be just the cure to get you back on track when you hit a bump or start to feel overwhelmed.

At the beginning of a season, everything that happens -- good or bad -- is under a microscope.
A hot streak in June is just a hot streak, but when one arrives right out of the gate, it stands out with no other previous numbers there to obscure it. The question is, does this represent the first step toward a great season, or simply a small-sample blip that just happens to be coming during the opening week?
In 2016, the first-week All-Star was, without question, Rockies shortstop Trevor Story. The rookie whose name already has launched a thousand obvious puns announced his presence with seven home runs through six games, setting records both to start a career and to start a season.
It's been an incredible performance. But over the course of baseball history, many other players also have authored amazing season-opening performances. Here are the best in six major offensive categories over the first week, according to data from Baseball Reference that goes back to 1913. For the purposes of this piece, we're considering the opening week to be a team's first seven games.
Home runs (7)
Mike Schmidt, 1976 Phillies
Final total: 38
Schmidt homered in "only" four of the first seven games, but when one of those is one of the greatest offensive performances ever produced, it helps. On April 17 at a windy Wrigley Field, Schmidt went 5-for-6 with four homers and eight RBIs in an 18-16 Philadelphia victory, with the final blast a go-ahead two-run shot in the 10th inning. It still stands as one of only 16 four-homer games in Major League history. The Hall of Fame third baseman went on to homer in each of the next three games as well and had a total of 12 to his credit through the Phillies' first 15 contests, ultimately finishing at 38 for the second of three consecutive seasons.
Trevor Story, 2016 Rockies (6 games)
Final total: TBD
Regardless of where Story's season winds up, this will be a run to remember. The 23-year-old was playing for the Double-A New Britain Rock Cats at this time last year, and now he has gone deep three more times through the first six games than any other shortstop in history, while batting .364/.391/1.318. Story homered twice on Opening Day at Arizona, twice on Friday in the Rockies' home opener against San Diego and once in three of the team's other four games.
Hits (19)
Barry Larkin, 1990 Reds
Final total: 185
When the '90 season began, Larkin was just shy of his 26th birthday but already was a two-time All-Star and Silver Slugger winner who had batted .342 over 97 games the previous season. Larkin picked up a pair of hits in the opener at Houston on April 9, repeated the feat in the final two games of the series, then got even hotter. He had a trio of three-hit games and one four-hit effort after that, going 19-for-32 (.594) overall, with two doubles, a triple and eight RBIs. Larkin didn't stop there, racking up two more knocks the next day to conclude a season-opening streak of eight consecutive multi-hit games. That start helped propel the Hall of Famer to another All-Star nod and a .301 average. He also hit .353 as the Reds defeated the A's in the World Series that October.
Extra-base hits (10)
Dante Bichette, 1994 Rockies
Final total: 62 (strike year)
Bichette had a hitless Opening Day but went 14-for-26 over the next six games, with five doubles, five home runs and 12 RBIs. The last four of those games weren't even at altitude in Denver, but rather Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Unfortunately, the strike put an end to the season in August, leaving Bichette with a league-high 116 games and 484 at-bats, but he still managed 33 doubles and 27 homers. Of course, his home park played a role in that production, as his .882 OPS was good for an adjusted OPS+ of only 111 (last season San Diego's Yonder Alonso had a 111 OPS+ with an unadjusted OPS of .742).
Larry Walker, 1997 Rockies
Final total: 99
Yes, another Rockies player. But like Bichette (and Story), Walker didn't do a lot of his damage in Denver. In fact, only the final day of his seven-game start came there, as the Rox began their season in Cincinnati and Montreal. Following an 0-for-4 Opening Day against the Reds, Walker went 13-for-25 with three doubles, a triple, six homers and 13 RBIs over the next six contests, including a 4-for-5, three-homer effort against his former team, the Expos, on April 5. In what was the best season (9.8 WAR) of a Hall of Fame-caliber career, Walker took National League MVP honors, led the league with 49 homers and a 1.172 OPS (including 1.176 on the road) and was batting better than .400 as late as July 18.
Chris Shelton, 2006 Tigers
Final total: 36
One of baseball's most famous early-season flashes in the pan, Shelton had played in 134 big league games before the '06 season, when he homered twice on Opening Day at Kansas City and twice more two days later at Texas. Shelton, then 25, finished the first seven games 15-for-28 with three doubles, two triples and five homers, and eventually went deep nine times over Detroit's first 13 games, tied for second-most all-time behind Schmidt in 1976. However, Shelton managed only a .663 OPS from that point forward and was back in Triple-A by August. He then spent all of 2007 there and played only 50 more big league games.
Runs batted in (17)
Pat Burrell, 2005 Phillies
Final total: 117
Pat the Bat collected at least one RBI in each of Philly's first seven games, including six multi-RBI efforts. On April 9 at St. Louis, he went 4-for-5 with a career-high-tying five RBIs, including a three-run homer, and finished the first seven games batting .448 with three doubles and four long balls. Burrell went on to set a career high in RBIs while slamming 32 homers and picking up some votes in the MVP balloting. Such was the benefit of batting behind the likes of Jimmy Rollins, Kenny Lofton, Chase Utley and Bobby Abreu.
Chris Davis, 2013 Orioles
Final total: 138
Davis had broken out the year before, in his first full season with Baltimore, but he took it to another level in his All-Star '13 campaign, which included a third-place MVP finish. Davis led the Majors in both homers (53) and RBIs, thanks in part to a blistering start that featured a home run and at least three RBIs in each of the first four games. On April 5 at Minnesota, "Crush" followed Adam Jones' game-tying single in the bottom of the eighth inning with a go-ahead grand slam, after contributing a sacrifice fly earlier in the day. It was one of three five-RBI games for Davis that season.
Walks (14)
Mickey Mantle, 1962 Yankees
Final total: 122
Not counting Benny Kauff of the Federal League's 1915 Brooklyn Tip-Tops, Mantle was the first player to rack up so many free passes so quickly, and he went on to lead the league for the fifth and final time in his career. He also took home American League MVP honors for the third time, while batting .321/.486/.605. Mantle walked at least once in each of the first 13 games that season, including back-to-back three-BB efforts on April 14 at Detroit and April 17 at Baltimore.
Gary Sheffield, 1997 Marlins
Final total: 121
Sheffield had walked 142 times the previous season, while leading the league with a .465 OBP, and he picked up right where he left off. He collected a mere 15 official at-bats over the first seven games, racking up a trio of three-walk efforts, plus two more games with a pair of free passes. Despite a .250 average, Sheffield posted a .424 OBP that season, with 42 more walks than strikeouts. He ranks 21st on the all-time walks list, 13 places behind Mantle.
Stolen bases (8)
Johnny Mostil, 1925 White Sox
Final total: 43
Mostil, who according to Baseball Reference had the nickname "Bananas," swiped three bases on Opening Day at Detroit and capped his seven-game run by going 4-for-4 with two walks and two steals on April 20 against the St. Louis Browns. That season, the right-handed-batting center fielder led the AL in plate appearances (715), runs (135), walks (90), hit-by-pitches (12) and steals, but also in getting caught stealing (20 times). Mostil finished his career in '29 with 176 steals but only a 63 percent success rate.
Lee Lacy, 1983 Pirates
Final total: 31
Over his first eight seasons, through age 31, Lacy stole a total of 34 bases in 631 games. Somehow, he discovered his talent for theft at that late stage, racking up 134 steals in 554 games in the next five years for Pittsburgh. That included a career-best 40 in 1982. The following season, he swiped one bag on Opening Day at St. Louis and three more in game two at Houston. Lacy picked up at least one steal in each of the first five games and ultimately began the year 12-for-12 before finishing 31-for-44.

Trying to reconcile a man's life and death
Friends are wondering how a college student from a good family ended up shot dead by police, writes Anthony REINHART
By Anthony REINHART, Page A11
Toronto -- Until a couple of weeks ago, anyone who knew the real Shelton McKENZIE would have expected to find him out clubbing last night, toasting his 21st birthday on some Toronto dance floor in smooth urban attire and a fresh pair of Jordans.
Instead, his Friends dressed for a visitation yesterday at a funeral home in his hometown of Ajax, east of Toronto, to file past Mr. McKENZIE's coffin and wonder whether they really knew him at all.
Specifically, they've been wondering how Mr. McKENZIE -- who came from a middle-class suburban family, who worked as a produce clerk through high school, who had young women lining up for his ever-respectful attention, and who took police courses in college just last fall -- wound up shot dead by police this month.
It happened just before dawn on Thursday, April 13, near an upscale home in the Thornhill community north of Toronto, where the THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON family had just endured a home invasion robbery.
York Regional Police arrived as Mr. McKENZIE and another person fled in the THOMPSONs' pickup truck. Officers opened fire on the truck, killing Mr. McKENZIE. The second man ran off and holed up in another home and was arrested within hours.
Ontario's Special Investigations Unit, which probes deaths and injuries related to police, is still examining the killing of Mr. McKENZIE.
But York police have linked the two men to five home invasions in and around Toronto since late February, including the gunpoint robbery of Sherry COOPER, chief economist at BMO Nesbitt Burns, and her husband, Peter.
As she squinted through the murk of predawn to find two masked men standing in her bedroom, Ms. COOPER felt surprised, bewildered and terrified on the morning of March 13.
Police say Mr. McKENZIE was one of the two mud-splattered men standing before her and her husband. The pair had broken into the COOPERs' ravine-side home in Hogg's Hollow, an exclusive enclave in North Toronto.
They bound the couple with duct tape, ransacked the house and fled with cash, jewellery, computers and BlackBerrys.
Their masks, and the shock that gripped the COOPERs, made them all but impossible to identify.
"We refer to the 'old guy' and the 'young guy' when we speak to each other, or the 'big guy,' Ms. COOPER told The Globe and Mail, "and we're not even sure we're referring to the same people."
Ms. COOPER, 55, was also caught without her glasses or contact lenses. "I'm not blind without my glasses, but it was pleasingly fuzzy, believe me. I didn't particularly want to be 100-per-cent conscious."
She was conscious enough, however, to talk her way to some relief after one of the men, armed with a gun, pinned her to the bed.
"He said he wanted jewellery and I said, 'Let me show you… where it is,' Ms. COOPER said. "So, fortunately, that got us to stand up and walk in there" to where her valuables were stored.
The couple were led downstairs and taped to a pillar. One man stood guard, pointing a gun at them, the other combed the house, selecting items to fill his backpack and tossing others to the floor.
Asked whether either man seemed like a novice, or a junior partner, Ms. COOPER had this to say about the one who stood guard: "Until the very end I would have thought that he was more nervous, and that he wasn't as aggressive, he wasn't a leader," she said.
"However, at the end, I managed to get myself out of the tape, and it was that stand-guard guy that saw me. And then he grabbed me and, you know, pulled me up the steps and told me, now he's going to have to hurt me, now he's going to have to shoot me, and he threw me down on the floor and said he was going to have to shoot me.
"And it was the other one who said, 'Take her back downstairs.' So they just retaped us."
"There wasn't, like, a good cop and a bad cop; there wasn't a leader and a follower," she said. "They were brutal. They clearly hated us, just [because of] what we had."
But for the people who knew or encountered Shelton McKENZIE, nothing is very clear. No one -- from coaches and former co-workers to Friends and the police themselves -- has been able to reconcile the way he lived with the way he died.
"I really don't know how or why he became involved," Detective Sergeant Fred MOFFATT of York's holdup squad said, adding that police have seen more young people from trouble-free backgrounds jumping "right into doing robberies."
Sometimes the goal is to win acceptance from a gang. Others are dragged in by underworld creditors, such as drug dealers.
"I don't know if that's the case here, so I would never say that," Det. Sgt. MOFFATT said. "We're still investigating and still trying to figure out exactly where he comes from. But yeah, it's a mystery."
Mr. McKENZIE's parents, who have requested privacy from reporters, are "just blown away" by what happened, said Lance BROWN, their pastor at Refuge City Pentecostal Church in Ajax. "I knew Shelton. He was a great kid," Mr. BROWN said.
At the No Frills on Kingston Road in Pickering, Tony CORNACCHIA recalled how Mr. McKENZIE "always asked for as many hours as I could give him" in the produce department, where he was the most experienced part-timer, until he left the job a year ago. "I left him in charge quite a few times, on evenings and weekends."
Mr. CORNACCHIA remembered driving the young man home to his parents' relatively new house in west Ajax, where he lived with an older brother, a younger brother and a sister. He described the family as hard-working and strict, particularly the mother, who insisted that her son help pay his own way.
"It seemed like they were a very disciplined family," he said, and when he heard the news of Mr. McKENZIE's death, "I was surprised just like everyone else."
Ms. COOPER had trouble squaring the wholesome image of Mr. McKENZIE with the man who caused her to feel such terror that morning, a terror that she said has changed her life forever.
"It is inconceivable to me that some normal, 20-year-old, good kid finds himself just accidentally in this kind of situation," she said. "I have a son who's not much older than that and, honestly, I just can't even fathom how you get yourself in that situation unless you've been… involved with some real bad people for a while."
If that's the case, Shelton McKENZIE kept his secret life well hidden.
At J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate, where he graduated in 2004, basketball coaches Steve DAWSON and Mike McFETTERS stood in the gym last week, puzzled.
"Whatever happened, we didn't see it coming," said Mr. DAWSON, a middle-aged man who traded easy, good-natured jibes with the popular all-star nicknamed Springz for his jumping prowess.
Mr. McFETTERS said his star rebounder avoided situations that looked like trouble and could take a beating on the court without losing his cool.
"He wasn't a violent kid," he said, but acknowledged he'd seen Mr. McKENZIE just three times, for a total of about 20 minutes, in the two years since he left Richardson. The last time was just before Christmas, when the young man dropped by the school after his first semester in the police foundations program at Durham College in Oshawa.
Mr. McFETTERS said Mr. McKENZIE was conflicted over whether to continue his studies, citing the cost and the commute as challenges.
"If he wasn't sure what he wanted to do, he didn't want to go [back to college] until he could figure things out," the coach said.
With that, he asked Mr. McFETTERS about his wife and daughter, and congratulated him on the impending birth of a second child.
With his death, "there's just questions that I don't know if we're ever going to get the answers to now," the coach said.
Similar questions are circulating among Mr. McKENZIE's Friends, 236 of whom are linked to his profile on hi5.com, a Web gathering place. Since his death, many have posted photos and comments, written in the vernacular of on-line chat.
"i cant begin 2 understand y USA did wat USA did," wrote one. 'it wasnt ur thing… it wasnt like u. buh im not tryna hold nothing on u. Ire gota 4give u… even tho now ur gone 4ever."
Several young women claimed Mr. McKENZIE as their dream man, and gave accounts of long telephone conversations, nights out dancing, tender moments and hopes for a future together.
In an interview this week, Jennifer VIEIRA, 19, said Mr. McKENZIE's attractiveness was no mystery when she met him after the 2004 Caribana parade in downtown Toronto. He was not only well-dressed, but also a gentleman.
"He said, 'I'll call you in a couple of hours,' and he actually called me back later," she said. "He was coming off real. He wasn't being fake at all."
What was real and what was fake is sure to cross the minds of many at Mr. McKENZIE's funeral this morning, inside the Revivaltime Tabernacle in Pickering.
But inside the church and out, it seems, God only knows.

Slain man had been shot in head before
By Tracy HUFFMAN, Crime Reporter
Police found the drug addict standing on King St. W. suffering from gunshot wounds to the head, arm and shoulder.
Two years later that man -- Christopher James WHITE/WHYTE -- was dying on the floor of a flophouse in that same neighbourhood with another gunshot wound to the head. That was Sunday morning. This time he did not survive.
WHITE/WHYTE, 35, was well known in Parkdale, but homicide detectives have very little information about where he was in the 12 hours before the shooting, or who may be responsible for his murder.
"We have no witnesses. No motive," said Det. Dan SHEPPARD of the 5: 20 a.m. shooting.
Two years ago, when police found WHITE/WHYTE standing in the same neighbourhood with gunshot wounds, he likely knew who shot him but refused to help with the investigation, SHEPPARD said.
WHITE/WHYTE's slaying is one of three unrelated homicides in a 4½-hour period Sunday morning.
Two hours later on Bridlington Street, near Bellamy and Ellesmere Rds., a man found his 22-year-old son, Patrick SANTOS, dead in the backyard of the family home. Police remain tight-lipped about the investigation, the man's cause of death and the motive behind the killing.
Around 10 a.m. a third man was killed, struck by a car and then repeatedly stabbed with a machete by the driver. Piratheep THARMAKULASINGAM, 25, collapsed in front of a home on Huntsmill Blvd., near Steeles Ave. E. and Warden Ave.
A first-degree murder warrant has been issued for Sujan ABEYEWARDENE, 19, of Richmond Hill. Homicide detectives plan to release a photograph of the wanted man today after showing it to potential witnesses: yesterday.
"We have checked his known addresses… his home address, his place of employment," said homicide Det. Bill VIEIRA. "He has not been found."

Woman charged in axe killing
Victim died from blow to the head
By Moira WELSH, Staff Reporter
As a special constable for GO Transit, Dennis HOY spent his days collecting tickets on trains and keeping order when trouble broke out.
HOY, 36, died early Friday morning when he was hit on the head with an axe while visiting his girlfriend's apartment on The Queensway, near Royal York Rd.
A 22-year-old woman, who rented a room in the apartment, has been charged in his death.
Neighbours said they often saw HOY's girlfriend and the woman walking cocker spaniels along The Queensway. The two women appeared to be very close, they said.
Toronto Homicide detective Bill VIEIRA said HOY was a frequent visitor to the apartment, adding police are still trying to determine the nature of the relationships among the trio.
"The circumstances of these three individuals are going to play an important role in the trial and are certainly going to become part of the evidence as it comes to trial," he said.
Neighbours, however, said HOY had been involved in a long-term relationship with one of the women, who they said was named Nicky.
One woman said Nicky rented out her extra bedrooms to a series of people over the years, leading to numerous disturbances and calls to police."
The apartment is above a coin laundromat, and two stores down from Anna MILONE's beauty shop, Empire Spa.
Nicky was a frequent customer, MILONE said. "It is just unbelievable, that this happened right here."
She said one of the neighbours heard shouting from the apartment shortly after midnight.
VIEIRA said yesterday that the autopsy showed HOY died from "blunt impact trauma" to his head.
Ashleigh PECHALUK has been charged with second-degree murder.

BroadcastJon Arnold | January 8, 2012
EDITOR'S NOTE: It's been almost a year since I've published here. Almost a year since my father passed away unexpectedly. It seemed better to be quiet, to process personally. And if you know me, that's not how I work — so it's been a very different season. Now I feel once again ready to publish. More on that some other day…
I read an article this year about the tectonic shift in they way we use a bedrock technology – the telephone. In our day of texting, instant messages, Facebook posts, and even good old-fashioned emails, a phone call seems unnecessarily intrusive. Imagine the nerve of picking up the phone and calling someone! A phone call requests immediate attention, but the rest of our methods of contact can be consumed and responded to at the recipient's discretion.
The Information Age has changed the way we interact in a myriad of ways. A thread woven through all of them is a new ability we have been bequeathed. Formerly the domain of only the very rich or very powerful, its heady power has been bestowed upon the masses. It is the opportunity to broadcast.

The German decision to phase-out nuclear energy and the impact of such a policy on electricity prices and the fulfillment of climate goals has been debated nationally as well as on European level. This study develops the expected effects by means of a European electricity market model and quantifies price developments, power plant investments, CO2 emissions and prices in different scenarios in regard to nuclear energy in Germany. In addition, the impact on electricity trades are studied.

Thena Sky and Richard Nailder went for a hike in the hills that turned out to be more than the sexy brunette planned for. Thena is a skinny local with nice tits, a tiny teen ass and a great little teen pussy so it makes me wonder why the fuck she would be fucking such an old man – maybe she has a daddy thing….. Regardless of the reason, this skinny teen was soon bent over a log with the old man behind her – stuffing her tiny cunt with his huge old cock.

12 Sep Pets Versus Cattle: Why Thinking About Infrastructure Isn't Enough
If you've been paying attention to the cloud conversation over the past few years, you've likely heard the phrase "pets versus cattle". It's often used as an analogy to illustrate the advantages of hosting your business's applications via the cloud rather than using more traditional on-site servers, but there's more to it than that says Hostworks' technical guru Phil Kunze.
As with most analogies, "pets versus cattle" as a concept is an oversimplification and can miss some crucial details if applied too broadly – particularly for organisations switching from an older "pets" set-up that may use legacy technology to a more modern cloud set-up. Here's a quick guide to illustrate how this can play out in real life.
Pets Versus Cattle In Theory
The idea goes something like this: IT departments have traditionally treated servers as "pets" – that is, they are lovingly nurtured, nursed back to health when they get sick (stop working) and given affectionate or amusing names.
This part of the analogy makes a lot of sense – servers are a proprietary (and typically expensive) physical resource. As the main repository of an enterprise's precious data, you can understand why IT departments might cherish and coddle them.
The rise of virtualisation and cloud computing, however, has fundamentally changed things. Hosting via these methods, so the analogy goes, should be thought of more as managing "cattle" – servers are basically identical to each other, live in some far-off "barn" (the cloud) and when one develops a problem, it's easier just to get rid of it and get a new one.
Pets Versus Cattle In Reality
The reality is not so simple.
Say you are the CTO of a medium-sized travel agency that sells discount plane, cruise and train tickets. Business has been good, your firm has been growing and you decide to switch your booking system (with minimal changes) to a cloud-based computing infrastructure to keep up.
However, because there was a lack of resiliency built into your cloud infrastructure, you find that rather than making your life easier, the opposite occurs. Bookings fail unexpectedly, records go missing. Vacations are not booked, customers are upset and business gets taken elsewhere.
In this particular case, the resiliency lost when you switched to a cloud-based, shoot-em-when-they-get-sick server set-up was not compensated for at the application level and with the right service governance.
Even when working with the cloud, businesses still need bake resiliency into the software design itself. This seems to be the part of the pets versus cattle approach that is often overlooked.
The Takeaway
The key lesson is that all environments exist to deliver a service, and this should be the focus at the core of every IT department. Organisations need to understand that they should not think of virtual infrastructure in the same way as on-premises infrastructure, and instead focus on delivering excellence at the application level.
Less effort coddling our infrastructure is a good thing, but the point we're trying to drive home is that organisations are drastically increasing the number of computer networks they use. If one system administrator is used to manage a hundred servers before, now that same administrator can manage thousands.
Decreased dependency on physical servers means that businesses can spend and focus less on the hardware, and need to think about how to deliver end value to customers. Why? Because computing hardware is losing its value, and the software and expertise to run these machines are becoming more valuable.
If you plan to move to the cloud, the services of an experienced guide who can help you work through those details is invaluable. At Hostworks, we are specialists in exactly that. If we can help or if you have any questions, drop us a line.

General view of the Kakra Math Temple, Mahoba
Photographer: Beglar, Joseph David
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1871
Photograph of the Kakra Math Temple at Mahoba, taken by Joseph David Beglar in 187-72. The place is described in the North-Western Provinces List of 1891: "The Kakra Math stands on a rocky island in the north-west corner of the Madan-Sagar. In size it is equal to the largest of the Khajuraho temples...It is built entirely of granite, and is therefore much inferior to the Khajuraho temples in decoration; its architectural ornaments being limited to such small geometrical patterns as could be executed without much difficulty in hard granite. The general arrangement of five chambers is similar to that of most Hindu temples of the same period...On each of the outer face of the sanctum there are three niches for the reception of statues; but neither outside nor inside can be found even the fragment of a figure. The name Kakra is said to refer to the worship of Siva."

Smart Training

i have one word for you: PLANK. it's all you need to do for the rock hard abs. hold it for two minutes. then do it for 2 minutes on each side. 2 or 3x a day. that's it.
- March 1, 2008 at 9:14 PM
- Mendy said...
Zanna has a point. The plank is such a challenge. I do them every now and then.
It's great about this sport (and probably all sports) about how we're all growing. I think your choices are smart, and the cycling will help your running too, so it's added benefit.
Have a wonderful Sunday!

I needed to read a post like this considering injuries that I'm dealing w/. Thanks. Sorry to hear that the ab lab test bombed but it's good to know that you took something away from it.
I also agree w/ the plank. When I was doing them I was up to 3 mins. Side planks are good to for those obliques.

OK where is David because he will probably be the only one who finds humor is this question as well, but . . .ok seriously, what if someone farts in there? 90 degrees?!?! You'll be sniffing those toxins back in. OK, that was so wrong, I'll stop LOL
Dang! I was REALLY hoping to see some rock hard abs. I'm all about the easy way out LOL

Not only that, Marcy, but with the perspiration it will stick to you until you hit the locker room and take a shower! Sweat can be okay, but the scents of other peoples sweaty parts may not always be pleasant.
I'm digging the enthusiasm, Robin! This is going to be a solid year for you.

Child sex slaves are being sold to paedophiles all over the country, a police chief claimed today.
Thames Valley Police Chief Constable Sara Thornton said officers identified networks of vile perverts operating between different cities and towns as part of Operation Bullfinch, |a probe by her force that netted seven men from Oxford who abused, trafficked and sold vulnerable girls as young as 11.
She said: "We know from some of the Bullfinch evidence they were taking girls to Birmingham and London, so we know there are links.
"What we don't know is the nature of those links."
Bullfinch chief investigator Simon Morton also warned: "If it happens in Oxford, I can't imagine a city it wouldn't happen in."
The gang was convicted this week but the force is under pressure for failing to stop the paedophile ring despite victims making complaints to officers years earlier.
Thames valley crime commissioner Anthony Stansfield called for a public inquiry.
"This needs to be from the NHS's point of view, the school's point of view, the police and also the prosecution service and criminal justice system," he said.
Speaking in New York, PM David Cameron added: "Everyone's going to have to ask some very searching questions about how this was allowed to continue for so long."

Where are we going?
Kitakyushu (kee ta kyOO'shOO)(kãBs; Kitakyushu-shi), literally
"North Kyushu", is one of the two largest cities on the island of Kyushu,
located in Fukuoka prefecture, Kyushu, Japan. Kitakyushu is one of Japan's
most important manufacturing regions and one of its chief ports and railroad
centers. In addition to its traditional industries, which produce iron and
steel, textiles, chemicals, machinery, ships, porcelain, and glass, the city
has developed industries such as industrial robotics, semiconductors, and
environmental technology. The city of Kitakyushu was founded
on February 10, 1963 and was designated on April 1, 1963 by government ordinance.
It resulted from the amalgamation of five cities, Moji, Kokura, Tobata, Yahata
and Wakamatsu, centered around the ancient feudal city of Kokura.
[History note: In the heart of Kitakyushu, the former city of Kokura,
there was a large weapons factory during World War II which was the original
target for the atomic bomb detonated over Nagasaki.]
Kyushu (kyOO'shOO) (ãB), island (pop. 13,064,955), c.13,760
sq mi (35,640 sq km), S Japan. It is the third largest, southernmost, and
most densely populated of the 4 major islands of Japan. It is separated from
Shikoku by the Bungo Strait and from Honshu by the Shimonoseki Strait; a
railroad tunnel under the strait and a bridge link Kyushu with the island
of Honshu. Kyushu is only a two hour boat ride from Korea. Mainly
of volcanic origin, the island has a mountainous interior rising to 5,886
ft (1,794 m) in Kuju-san; Aso-san, Japan's largest active volcano, is on
Kyushu, and there are many hot springs. The Chikugo (88 mi/142 km long),
the island's longest river, waters an extensive rice-growing area in the
northwest. Kyushu has a subtropical climate and receives much precipitation.
The southern and eastern coasts are regularly battered by typhoons each year.
Rice, tea, tobacco, sweet potatoes, fruits, wheat, and soybeans are major
crops. Coal, zinc, and copper are mined in Kyushu, and raw silk is extensively
produced. The island is noted for its porcelain (Satsuma and Hizen ware).
The famous Imari ware was manufactured at the ancient town of Arita. Heavy
industry is concentrated in N Kyushu, near Japan's oldest coal field; Kitakyushu,
Fukuoka, and Omuta are major industrial centers. Nagasaki, the chief port
of Kyushu, was the first Japanese port to receive Western trade. There are
four national parks on the island, and one of Japan's two space centers is
located there.

This applies not only to instrumentation, but also to sensors development, reagents and chemicals. In1985, Hanna was first to introduce to a pH electrode with a built in temperature sensor (HI1217S) which became world wide and commonly used throughout the market. The idea of waterproof portable instruments to be used in harsh environments also was launched by HANNA® in 1990 (HI9025). The concept of giving users the possibility to check the accuracy of their digital thermometer (Checktemp) was introduced to the market by HANNA®in 1995 and is still unique today. Another exclusive technology to HANNA is simultaneous testing for pH and EC with a single instrument which was first introduced in 2000

DTBand avait besoin d'un nouveau design de logo et a lancé un concours sur 99designs.
Un gagnant a été sélectionné de 119 designs proposés par 23 designers freelance.
Vinyl Sunshine
celebrating the music of the late 60s to early 70s!
Logo is for a band covering music by American groups (only, ie no Beatles, Zombies, Hollies, etc) from the late 60's through the early 70's. Music is mainly "Sunshine Pop" ...
Sunshine pop was a mid-'60s mainstream pop style typified by rich harmony vocals, lush orchestrations, and relentless good cheer. It was often mildly influenced by psychedelia, but it usually didn't aim to evoke any sort of drug-induced mind expansion; it simply drew from the warm and whimsical sides of psychedelic pop, incorporating production innovations of the time. The stars of sunshine pop included The Turtles, The Monkees, The Archies, The Association, and The Mamas & the Papas; other groups to score hits in the style were The Buckinghams, The Grass Roots, and the Left Banke.
Band is five members, one female.
bright 60's color palette, see attachment below
NO simple BADGES, please. Vinyl can be a vinyl 45 record, sunshine sun, incorporate Woodstock dove, 60s or retro type font, could incorporate an acoustic guitar, retro colors put possibly psychedelic color scheme, other 60s symbols may be ok, tag line is still being debated. Here is a sample of the music/groups we are covering ... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?li…jDbCCzLIrc

Shock poll: 'Birthers' rule
Astonishing number of citizens don't believe president's story
A new poll is shocking the political powers in Washington with indication that only 3 in 10 members of the GOP believe that Barack Obama was born in the United States.
With the issue still disputed in a number of court cases and under review by nearly a dozen states considering laws that presidential candidates document their constitutional eligibility, the poll by Public Policy Polling found that only 28 percent of the Republicans surveyed believe Obama was born in the U.S. while 51 percent do not.
Another 21 percent say they are not sure.
Order it now! The definitive look at Barack Obama, in "Where's the Birth Certificate?" by Dr. Jerome Corsi.
"Any thought that the birther theory has been put to rest can be thrown out the window," Dean Debnam, the president of the Democratic-leaning polling firm, told Politico.
"That view is still widely held in Republican circles," he said.
Chris Matthews, host of "Hardball" on MSNBC, discussed the stunning poll numbers on his program tonight, perplexed by the growing tide of those questioning Obama's eligibility.
It was only a few months after Obama's inauguration that a WND/Wenzel Poll showed that 51.3 percent of Americans said they were aware of the questions raised about Obama's constitutional eligibility for office. Only 18.7 percent said they were not and another 30 percent were unsure.
At that point, 58.2 percent of the GOP said they were aware of the controversy.
Polls since then have shown Americans to be increasingly skeptical of Obama's official narrative:
- A survey by Angus Reid Global Monitor, a division of Vision Critical Group, in October 2009 found three in 10 people in the U.S. believed Obama to be a foreigner.
"While only 13 percent of Democratic Party supporters believe Obama was not born in the U.S., the proportion rises to 25 percent among independents and 51 percent among Republican Party backers," the report said.
- Then in January 2010, another WND/Wenzel Poll revealed on the one-year anniversary of Obama's tenure in office that fully one-third of Americans refused to believe Obama was a "legitimate president," with another 15.8 percent saying they were not sure.
Barely half the voters, 51.5 percent, said they believed the president legitimate even though he had not yet produced the documentation proving his constitutional eligibility. Even 14.6 percent of the Democrats said they did not consider him legitimate.
- In May 2010, a WND/Wenzel Poll revealed that 55 percent of Americans wanted Obama to release all records relating to his childhood and his education, including "college records, Harvard Law School papers, passport records, travel records, and other similar documentation."
"Asked what should be done should it be found that Obama does not meet the qualifications to be president, 59 percent said he should be removed from office, and 35 percent said all bills signed into law by Obama should be repealed," the poll's analysis revealed.
- By last June, other media were beginning to put their toes in the waters of the controversy. A 60 Minutes-Vanity Fair poll revealed only 39 percent of respondents believe Obama was born in Hawaii as he claimed in his book.
"A shocking 63 percent – very nearly two-thirds of us – went out on a limb and stated for the record that we believe in the United States. It's enough to make you proud to be an American – or 63 percent proud, at any rate."
But that figure included those who said they believe he was born in Kansas or some other unknown state, which still would conflict with Obama's story.
- Last August, a poll by CNN said 6 of 10 people were uncertain Obama was born in the U.S. The poll said only 42 percent believe Obama "definitely" was born in the U.S.
The CNN report said that, "Hawaii has released a copy of the president's birth certificate – officially called a 'certificate of live birth.' And in 1961 the hospital where the president was born placed announcements in two Hawaiian newspapers regarding Obama's birth."
However, the online image released by the Obama campaign during his presidential race actually is called a "Certification of Live Birth," and those documents under the rules in the state of Hawaii were available for children not born in the state.
The newest poll from Public Policy Polling revealed 51 percent of 400 Republican primary voters disbelieve Obama's claims to be eligible constitutionally to hold the office of president and another 21 percent said they were not sure.
According to the poll, GOP voters also are putting Mike Huckabee at the top of the national field of candidates for the GOP nomination for president in 2012, following by Mitt Romney.
The Politico report editorialized: "A 51 percent majority of national GOP primary voters erroneously think President Obama was
not born in the U.S. 28 percent know that he was."
Questions about Obama's eligibility to be president have been exacerbated by his refusal to answer questions and release ordinary background documentation and his extraordinary legal maneuvers to keep his background hidden.
The Constitution requires a president to be a "natural-born citizen," which is not the same as a "citizen."
Fritz Wenzel of Wenzel Strategies has warned, "Simply put, this question about Obama's legitimacy as president is undermining everything he does in the minds of millions of Americans."
