Flagstar Bank, FSB v. Pinnex et al Doc. 17 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA ORANGEBURG DIVISION Flagstar Bank, F.S.B., ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) v. ) ) Ruby Elaine Pinnex and Mortgage ) Electronic Registration Systems, ) Inc., as nominee for Homecomings ) Financial Network, Inc., ) ) Defendants, ) ) Civil Action No.: 5:17-cv-01416-JMC ORDER AND OPINION This matter is before the court pursuant to Magistrate Judge Shiva V. Hodges' Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 8), filed June 9, 2017, recommending that the case be remanded to the Court of Common Pleas in Calhoun County, South Carolina. Pro se Defendant Ruby Elaine Pinnex ("Pinnex") filed timely objections (ECF No. 11) and an Amended Notice of Removal.1 (ECF No. 12.) For the reasons set forth below, the court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's Recommendation and REMANDS the case to the Calhoun County Court of Common Pleas for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.2 I. PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND On May 31, 2017, Pinnex filed a Notice of Removal (ECF No. 1) seeking to remove a state mortgage foreclosure action associated with property located at 204 Baronet Lane, Elloree, South Carolina 29047. (ECF No. 1-7 at 6-11.) Pinnex alleged that she removed the action "for a 1 Pinnex titled the document an Amended Complaint for Removal. (See ECF No. 12.) Plaintiff's pending Motion to Remand (ECF No. 14), and Pinnex's pending Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order (ECF No. 15) and pending Motion to Strike (ECF No. 16) are not ruled upon, as the court adopts the Magistrate Judge's Recommendation that it does not have jurisdiction over this case. 2 1 Dockets.Justia.com Right to Review pursuant to" 5 U.S.C. § 702. (ECF No. 1-1 at 1.) Pinnex further alleged that removal was proper as Plaintiff has brought this action against me into an administrative court, a foreign jurisdiction, in which this is a violation of a Treaty known as The Articles of Confederation and of the Expatriation Act of 1868. I also believe that they are also in violation of the Foreign Registration Act, Title 22 USC 611 and have filed a false claim with counterfeit securities against me. (Id.) Pinnex also claimed the court has jurisdiction under diversity citizenship under the theory that her citizenship is "American" generally, but not of South Carolina specifically. (Id.) On June 9, 2017, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that this court remand the case to the Court of Common Pleas in Calhoun County. (ECF No. 8.) Pinnex filed timely objections and an Amended Notice of Removal (ECF Nos. 11, 12) on June 20, 2017. II. LEGAL STANDARD The Magistrate Judge's Report is made in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Civil Rule 73.02 for the District of South Carolina. The Magistrate Judge makes only a recommendation to this court, which has no presumptive weight. The responsibility to make a final determination remains with this court. See Mathews v. Weber, 423 U.S. 261, 270-71 (1976). The court is charged with making a de novo determination of those portions of the Report to which specific objections are made. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Any party may remove a state court action to federal district court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1441 where the state action could have been originally filed there. See Darcangelo v. Verizon Commc'ns, Inc., 292 F.3d 181, 186 (4th Cir. 2002). A case may be originally filed in a federal district court either under 28 U.S.C. § 1332 for diversity of citizenship and an amount in controversy greater than $75,000.00 or under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 where it arises under a federal 2 question. A federal court should remand the case to state court where no federal subject matter jurisdiction is evident from the face of the Notice of Removal and any state court pleadings provided. Ellenburg v. Spartan Motor Chassis, Inc., 519 F.3d 192, 196 (4th Cir. 2008). Courts of this circuit have held that removal statutes favor remand where possible and are construed against removal jurisdiction. See, e.g., Cheshire v. Coca-Cola Bottling Affiliated, Inc., 758 F. Supp. 1098, 1102 (D.S.C. 1990); Bellone v. Roxbury Homes, Inc., 748 F. Supp. 434, 436 (W.D. Va. 1990). Where subject matter jurisdiction is at issue, "courts are obligated to consider sua sponte issues." Gonzalez v. Thaler, 565 U.S. 134, 141 (2012). III. ANALYSIS Upon her review, the Magistrate Judge observed that Pinnex seeks removal, but fails to "identify a viable basis for jurisdiction." (ECF No. 8 at 2.) The Magistrate Judge observed that "[t]he essential allegations contained in the complaint do not allege that the case is one 'arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States'" and "there are no federal statutes referenced in the complaint." (Id. at 3.) Moreover, Pinnex failed to cite to any federal statute, law, or act in support of the theory that the complaint raises a federal question. (Id.) The Magistrate Judge further observed that Pinnex was not eligible to remove the case on the basis of diversity because she is a citizen of South Carolina, the forum state. (Id.) Pinnex timely objected, however her objections are vague, nonspecific, and fail to address the deficiencies laid out by the Magistrate Judge. (ECF No. 11.) In addition to her objections, Pinnex also timely filed an Amended Notice of Removal.3 (ECF No. 12.) In the 3 It is generally accepted that a party may amend their Notice of Removal without requesting leave from the court when done within the first thirty days after initial service. E.g., Thompson v. Gillen, 491 F. Supp. 24, 27 (E.D. Va. 1980); Garza v. Midland Nat'l Ins. Co., 256 F. Supp. 12, 15 (S.D. Fla. 1966). Here, Pinnex timely amended her Notice of Removal prior to June 31, 2017. (ECF No. 1 at 2.) 3 Amended Notice of Removal, Pinnex makes several arguments regarding subject matter jurisdiction. (Id.) First, Pinnex raises the issue of whether "Orders of an Administrative Court" are enforceable. (ECF No. 12 at 1.) The court construes this as an inquiry as to whether orders from the state courts of South Carolina are enforceable. This is clearly not a federal question. This court, as a federal district court is barred from reviewing or overturning or "declaring unenforceable" any state court decision by overwhelming Supreme Court precedent and the United States Constitution. E.g., D.C. Cir. v. Feldman, 460 U.S. 463, 474 (1983) (federal courts have no jurisdiction over the proceedings of state courts); Rooker v. Fidelity Trust Co., 263 U.S. 413 (1923). Next, Pinnex seeks to raise a federal question as to whether 22 U.S.C. §§ 611, 612 are "still applicable in the United States." (ECF No. 12 at 2.) This is not a federal question because 22 U.S.C. §§ 611 and 612, as used for the purposes of legal proceedings, are tools of application and not interpretation and, therefore, fail to raise federal questions. Merrell Dow Pharms. Inc. v. Thompson, 478 U.S. 804, 808 (1986). Finally, Pinnex seeks to raise as a federal question the issue of standing. (ECF No. 12 at 3.) A party's standing to sue for recovery of property in a foreclosure procedure wholly governed by state law does not raise any federal questions. In assessing the foregoing, the court observes that while "in certain cases federal-question jurisdiction will lie over state-law claims that implicate significant federal issues," Plaintiff's Complaint raised no such issue. Grable & Sons Metal Prods., Inc. v. Darue Eng'g and Mfg., 545 U.S. 308, 312 (2005). Specifically, the Complaint "merely states a cause of action for enforcement of a promissory note and foreclosure of the associated security interest in real 4 property." (ECF No. 8 at 3 (quoting Burbage v. Richburg, 417 F. Supp. 2d 746, 749 (D.S.C. 2006)). "To the extent Pinnex seeks to remove this civil action based on diversity of citizenship pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332, a case may not be removed to federal court where the defendant is a citizen of the forum state." (ECF No. 8 at 3 (citing 28 U.S.C. § 1441(b)(2); Lincoln Property Co. v. Roche, 546 U.S. 81, 90 (2005)).) An individual's citizenship for the purposes of diversity jurisdiction merely means the geographical state in which one intends to remain, and applies equally to foreign residents as it does to those claiming actual citizenship of the state in which they reside. Mas v. Perry, 489 F.2d 1396, 1399 (5th Cir. 1974). Here, Pinnex clearly admits to retaining citizenship in South Carolina through her residency and intentions to continue residency in said state for the purposes of diversity jurisdiction and the forumdefendant exception in § 1441(b)(2) despite written protestations. (ECF No. 1.) As a result of the foregoing, the court concludes that neither Pinnex's objections (ECF No. 11) nor her Amended Notice of Removal (ECF No. 12) specifically answer the defects noted by the Magistrate Judge. (ECF No. 8.) IV. CONCLUSION For the above reasons, the court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 8) and REMANDS the case to the Court of Common Pleas for Calhoun County for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. IT IS SO ORDERED. United States District Judge July 6, 2017 Columbia, South Carolina 5

In a first for Latin America, International Criminal Court to investigate abuses in Venezuela
CARACAS, Venezuela —
The International Criminal Court is opening a formal investigation into allegations of torture and extrajudicial killings committed by Venezuelan security forces under President Nicolás Maduro's rule, the first time a country in Latin America is facing scrutiny by the court for possible crimes against humanity.
The opening of the probe was announced Wednesday by ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan at the end of a three-day trip to Caracas, the Venezuelan capital.
Standing alongside Maduro, Khan said he was aware of the political "fault lines" and "geopolitical divisions" that exist in Venezuela. But he said his job was to uphold the principles of legality and the rule of law, not settle scores.
"I ask everybody now, as we move forward to this new stage, to give my office the space to do its work," he said. "I will take a dim view of any efforts to politicize the independent work of my office."
While Khan didn't outline the scope of the ICC's investigation, it follows a lengthy preliminary probe started in February 2018 — later backed by Canada and five Latin American governments opposed to Maduro — that focused on allegations of excessive force, arbitrary detention and torture by security forces during a crackdown on anti-government protests in 2017.
Human rights groups and the U.S.-backed opposition immediately celebrated the decision. Since its creation two decades ago, the ICC has focused mostly on atrocities committed in Africa.
"This is a turning point," said Jose Miguel Vivanco, the Americas director for Human Rights Watch. "Not only does it provide hope to the many victims of Maduro's government, but it also is a reality check that Maduro himself could be held accountable for crimes committed by his security forces and others with total impunity in the name of the Bolivarian revolution" started by former President Hugo Chavez.
It could be years before any criminal charges are presented as part of the ICC's investigation.
Maduro said he disagreed with Khan's criteria in choosing to open the probe. But he expressed optimism over a three-page "letter of understanding" he signed with the prosecutor that would allow Venezuelan authorities to carry out their own proceedings in search of justice, something allowed under the statute that created the ICC.
"I guarantee that in this new phase we will leave the noise to the side and get down to work so that, together, the truth can be found," said Maduro.
Maduro's government last year also asked the ICC to investigate the U.S. — which is not among the ICC's 123 member states — for its policy of economic sanctions focused on removing Maduro. Venezuela considers the U.S. sanctions tantamount to "unlawful coercive measures" that have spelled poverty for millions of Venezuelans.
Khan's predecessor, Fatou Bensouda, had indicated there was a reasonable basis to conclude that crimes against humanity had been committed in Venezuela, echoing the findings of the United Nations' own human rights council last year. But she left the decision to open any probe to her successor, Khan, a British lawyer who took the reins of the ICC earlier this year.

Q: How to encode special characters in HtmlInputText Control in .Net? I have an input control
<input id="firstNameField" type="text" runat="server" />

And I give it a value server-side
firstNameField.Value = "Me!"

How do I encode the "!" character for output?  I tried this:
firstNameField.Value = "Me!"

But .Net responds with this:
<input name="firstNameField" type="text" id="firstNameField" value="Me&#33;" />

Causing the user to see Me! in the text box.  I understand that this is part of .Net's built-in XSS protection.  How do I get .Net to encode for special characters other than ampersand?

A: Use  HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("text") while assigning the value in code behind

A: I wound up extending the HttpEncoder class like so:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Util;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;

/// <summary>
/// Summary description for CustomHttpEncoder
/// </summary>
public class CustomHttpEncoder : HttpEncoder
{
    //
    // TODO: Add constructor logic here
    //
    public CustomHttpEncoder()
    {
    }

    protected override void HtmlEncode(string value, TextWriter output)
    {
        if (value != null) {
            MyHtmlEncode(value, output);
        }
    }

    protected override void HtmlAttributeEncode(string value, TextWriter output)
    {
        if (value != null) {
            MyHtmlEncode(value, output);
        }
    }

    private void MyHtmlEncode(string value, TextWriter output)
    {
        if (value != null) {
            string encodedValue = "";

            for (int i = 0; i <= value.Length - 1; i++) {
                byte[] asciiVal = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(value.Substring(i, 1));
                encodedValue += "&#" + asciiVal(0).ToString + ";";
            }

            output.Write(encodedValue);
        }
    }

}

And then referencing it in Web.config:
<system.web>
    <httpRuntime encoderType="CustomHttpEncoder" />

After that, all I had to do was set the value like normal:
firstNameField.Value = "Me!"

Which automatically encodes every character for maximum tin-foil hat security:
<input name="firstNameField" type="text" id="firstNameField" value="Me!" />

This suits my purposes well enough, but I could see it being a PITA in other situations.  In that case, MyHtmlEncode() would need to be modified to suit such situations.

Strictly defined, money is anything generally accepted in exchange for goods and services. To be used as a medium of exchange, money must be acceptable, divisible, portable, stable in value, durable, and difficult to counterfeit.
Acceptability: To be effective, money must be readily acceptable for the purchase of goods and services and for the settlement of debts. Acceptability is probably the most important characteristic of money: If people do not trust the value of money, businesses will not accept it as a payment for goods and services, and consumers will have to find some other means of paying for their purchases.
Divisibility: Given the widespread use of quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies in the United States, it is no surprise that the principle of divisibility is an important one. With barter, the lack of divisibility often makes otherwise preferable trades impossible, as would be an attempt to trade a steer for a loaf of bread. For money to serve effectively as a measure of value, all items must be valued in terms of comparable units—dimes, for a piece of bubble gum, quarters for laundry machines, and dollars (or dollars and coins) for everything else.
Portability: Clearly, for money to function as a medium of exchange, it must be easily moved from one location to the next. Large colored rocks could be used as money, but you couldn't carry them around in your wallet. Paper currency and metal coins, on the other hand, are capable of transferring vast purchasing power into small, easily carried bundles.
Stability: Money must be stable and maintain its declared face value. The principle of stability allows people who wish to postpone purchases and save their money to do so without fear that it will decline in value. Money declines its value during periods of inflation, when economic conditions cause prices to rise. Thus, the same amount of money buys fewer and fewer goods and services.
Durability: Money must be durable. The crisp new dollar bills you trade at the music store for the hottest new CD will make their way all around town for about 18 months before being replaced. Were the value of an old, faded bill to fall to line with the deterioration of its appearance, the principles of stability and universal acceptability would fail. Although metal coins, due to their much longer useful life, would appear to be an ideal form of money, paper currency is far more portable than metal because of its light weight. Today, coins are used primarily to provide divisibility.
Difficulty to Counterfeit: To remain stable and enjoy universal acceptance, it almost goes without saying that money must be very difficult to counterfeit—that is, to duplicate illegally. Every country takes steps to make counterfeiting difficult. Most use multicolored money, and many use specially watermarked papers that are virtually impossible to duplicate.
New Product Process

Mir in New Product Process Tags: actually, anology, appear, approve, assembly, auto, automobile, backtracking, build, careful, cause, collection, commercial, complex, concept, control, cost, crucial, delay, develop, Development, divisible, era, evaluate, evaluation, fact, factory, film, final, finalize, finish, fluid, formed, goods, idea, imagine, introduction, item, line, market, material, metal, need, new, overall, package, packaging, part, period, picture, piece, planner, plant, preparation, price, process, Product, production, Quality, release, require, river, scatter, score, separate, separately, service, shape, shorter, site, software, step, subsidiary, support, system, telescope, thought, through, time, today, trademark, tributary, ultimately, worker, world
New products actually build up the way rivers do. Great rivers are systems with tributaries that have tributaries. Goods that appear complex are just collections of metal shapes, packaging material, fluids, prices, and so on. A good anology is the production of automobiles, with a main assembly line supported by scores of subsidiary assembly lines scattered around the world, each of which makes a part that goes into another part that ultimately goes into a car in that final assembly line.
If you can imagine the quality control people in auto parts plants evaluating each part before releasing it to the next step, you have the idea of a new product evaluation system. The new product appears first as an idea, a concept in words or pictures, and we evaluate that first. As workers turn the concept into a formed process of metal, or software, or a new factory site preparation service, that good or service is then evaluated. When a market planner puts together a marketing plan, its parts are evaluated separately (just as minor car parts are) and then evaluated again in total, after it is added to the product.
The fact that we evaluate the product and its marketing plan as separate and divisible pieces is what lets us telescope the development process into shorter periods of time. There was an era when we went through a new product's development step by step, nothing "ahead of its time." But today we may be working on a package before we actually have finished product, we may be filming part of a commercial before the trademark has been approved and finalized.
This sometimes causes some backtracking, but the cost of that is less than the costs of a delayed introduction. It does require, however, that we have thought through carefully the item's overall development needs—and, which of those needs are crucial, and which not crucial. Any evaluation system must cover the crucial ones.

Frieze New York prepares for a barnstorming debut at the Shed
Samuel Reilly, Apollo Magazine, May 3, 2021

'Everyone has had a very different experience of the last year,' says Rebecca Ann Siegel, director of Americas and content at Frieze. Galleries have struggled – some more so than others. But after a year in which every gallery has had to become something of an island, there is something symbolic about the shift of Frieze New York (5–9 May) from its usual home on Randall's Island on the east side of Manhattan to the Shed, Diller Scofidio + Renfro's vast cultural centre at Hudson Yards, eight miles south-west. 'We're really excited about coming together at the Shed,' Siegel says.
Galleries will have their fingers crossed for a barnstorming event – though it will be stripped back from previous years. With restrictions on international travel still in place, around 40 mostly New York-based galleries will attend – down from 190 in 2019 – with a few international galleries still awaiting confirmation (as a backup, there will be an online viewing room). As Siegel says, 'a commitment to the best in international art is still very much the mission at hand.'
Frieze stalwarts returning to the event this year include James Cohan, whose booth includes a selection of Trenton Doyle Hancock's cartoonish responses to late work by Philip Guston, and Garth Greenan, who offers a superb collage on cut canvas – nearly 3m in length – from a series made by Howardena Pindell in the mid 1980s to commemorate her travels across India. At Jenkins Johnson, meanwhile, look out for Enrico Riley's jewel-hued portrait of a drummer.
The fair's Frame section, which focuses on galleries that have been open for ten years or less, returns, overseen by Olivia Barrett of Château Shatto and Sophie Mörner of Company Gallery. This year it includes a number of first-time exhibitors, among them Galeria Bruno Múrias from Lisbon, who will present a solo show of work by the Portuguese sculptor Henrique Pavão.
Siegel is most looking forward to the performance-cum-installation by Precious Okoyomon, New-York based poet, chef and winner of this year's Frieze Artist Award. Coinciding with Okoyomon's exhibition at Performance Space New York (until 9 May), the event will see the artist attempt to transform the Shed into 'a portal for a space of fragilization'. After a traumatic, isolating year, it's a work that promises to speak to the power of art as a tool for collective healing. Above all, says Siegel, 'Everyone is really excited about presenting art to a real, live audience.'

Discussion in 'Panasonic TVs Forum' started by ifty, Dec 28, 2006.
I have worked out that a 5m profigold scart with a splitter box is a start, but what's a S-Video cable and a HDMI cable. Finally is everyone in agreement that the avrabbit wall mount is the way to go ?
Hi, sorry this isn't an answer to your question but what price did you get out of JL Kingston?
I asked for a price match with currys and dixons who were selling for £869, they have sent my request to their price match team who said they would honour once they checked stock levels.
With small kids it´s recommendable to wall mount your plasma, my px60 is safely out of reach from my *666*. If you´re planning to put the cables inside the wall I recommend you just put all cables (3xscart,2xhdmi, vga,component, audio in, audio out) you can connect to the panasonic so if you´re one day buy a blu-ray/hd-dvd you don´t have to open your wall again.
hi, sorry to hijack your post ifty.
i'm sure i'm not the only person having trouble getting JL (all london branches) to pm currys atm. any information is mucho appreciated!
as for you connections. need to know what output(s) the devices have before we can give you a proper recommendation. but just an idea of what to expect.
as for the SKY/Telewest boxes... i can't help out as i dont have them.
Sky / Telewest should use an HDMI cable too.
I'm also interested to know if you get JL to price match this as Kingston is my local branch.
I have some more information to support my price match claim, I went back to Kingston and went into the [email protected] shop, it's behind Bentalls centre near soccer world. The guys their are absolutely ace, they sell the panny px60 for £900 with a 5yr no quibble gurantee too. They are the only panasonic shop to do this to directly compete with JL.
I called the AV JL team spoke to Anne and told her the above information and she said they would honour the £900 as this was checked immediately.
As for the reference I have one, but it's a customer requirement number which relates to my price match claim is this what you need ? I believe the number is specific to me however as soon as I confirmation I'll post the letter if that's allowed ?
You don't know what the Panasonic shop are asking for the 37" do you?
Ho I'm afdraid not, it's there in the window and in stock though as another customer enquired whilst I was there.
Cheers, I may pop down tomorrow and have a look.
hey ifty, did your plasma come WITH the the ped stand from the Panny shop?
cos JL were doing the plasma+ped stand for £919.
but the ped stand is on order and hopefully will arrive some time in early/mid Jan.
but hey... i got what i wanted which was the 5-year warranty, and they'll still pm if you spot the same deal elsewhere upto 28 days afterwards!
I opted for the wall mount however they wanted £149 so I said no and got some cables thrown in instead, the guy who dealt with me was davinder, slim asian guy.
Can you let us know if you find out the price for the 37"

BOSTON � First things first: Joel Hanrahan is still the closer.
�We�re not going to deviate from that at this moment,� Red Sox manager John Farrell said.
But Hanrahan has done little to ensure his own job security thus far. In 42/3 innings thus far, he�s walked five and allowed three home runs en route to an 11.57 ERA.
Asked to pitch the ninth inning of a 1-1 game on Saturday, Hanrahan issued back-to-back walks to Evan Longoria and Ben Zobrist before Farrell yanked him and replaced him with Koji Uehara. Only thanks to the terrific work by Uehara did neither runner score, saving Hanrahan from an ERA that could have climbed over 15.
The good news for Hanrahan on Saturday was that he wasn�t erratic. He wasn�t missing either up out of the zone or in the zone, an indication that he was pitching out of control.
Just about everything Hanrahan threw to Longoria and Zobrist came in below the knees.
�It looked like he was pitching a little bit careful,� Farrell said.
If Farrell is to be taken at his word, Hanrahan will still get the ball in the ninth inning the next time the Red Sox have the lead. But with Andrew Bailey having struck out seven in 41/3 scoreless innings so far, the leash can be only so long.
Unless, that is, Hanrahan and pitching coach Juan Nieves can fix what�s ailing him.
Franklin Morales pitched two innings in an extended spring-training game Friday and is scheduled to throw three innings in another game on Wednesday. Morales will be dispatched five days after that to make a rehab start for Double-A Portland, starting his road back to the major leagues.
Morales, who missed almost all of spring training with a back injury, will be stretched out at Portland and Triple-A Pawtucket until he can throw five innings and 80 and 85 pitches. If he progresses one inning at a time, he could be ready to be activated before the end of the month.
If there is no room in the Red Sox starting rotation at that point, Morales would go back into the bullpen. He wouldn�t need to make any appearances as a reliever in minor-league games to get used to that aspect of the role, Farrell said, but he probably wouldn�t be asked to come into games with runners on base right away.
Lefty reliever Craig Breslow pitched in a simulated game Friday and will next pitch in an extended spring-training game. As a one-inning � and, often, one-hitter � reliever, Breslow will presumably need less buildup time than Morales before he�s ready to be activated.
Breslow missed all of spring training with a shoulder injury.
With Tampa Bay sending hard-throwing lefty David Price to the mound Saturday, Farrell elected to sit rookie Jackie Bradley Jr. and to play Daniel Nava in left field with Jonny Gomes as the designated hitter.
After starting each of the first six games the Red Sox played this season, Bradley has been in the lineup just twice in the last six days � and Farrell pinch-hit for him in the late innings Thursday against Baltimore.
Given a chance to pinch-hit Bradley for Gomes against right-handed reliever Brandon Gomes in the ninth inning Saturday, Farrell left Bradley on his bench.
Farrell and general manager Ben Cherington both made clear during spring training that Bradley would stay on the major-league roster only as long as he was playing every day. But with Bradley showing vulnerability to hard fastballs in on his hands from lefties, Farrell saw Nava and Gomes as better options against Price on Saturday.
It still seems likely that Bradley will be optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket when David Ortiz is activated from the disabled list next week. In the meantime, after Price, the next five starting pitchers the Red Sox face could all be right-handers � an opportunity for Bradley to play every day once again.
The next game in which the Red Sox face a lefty starter might not come until the Oakland Athletics bring Brett Anderson and Tommy Milone to Fenway Park in more than a week � by which time Ortiz is expected to have returned.

Chapter 108: The Twins within the Ice
The hell, just what the hell was that? Ever since she became a Demigod, it had been a long time since she was injured. Yet, right now, because of just a single glance by that shadow, her divine sense was actually damaged.
Zhu Yao took a deep breath to gather her calm, and she finally felt better after a few moments. This time, she no longer dared to peek. That shadow was evidently Mu Meiyan's ultimate cheat. It was too heaven-bending, wasn't it? Fortunately, she had intentionally hidden her aura earlier, otherwise, she would have been exposed.
Zhu Yao took an entire night to completely heal herself. On the early morning of the second day, Qi Han came looking for her.
When he came, Qi Han said it very clearly, that he had invited her to save his own disciple. Zhu Yao was also making small guesses of her own as well. She wondered if that person was actually Yue Hanxin, who was also Mu Meiyan's main target of attack in the upcoming world war after her reincarnation.
Qi Han spoke with her courteously for a while, before bringing her to the rear mountain of Celestial Indus Sect. Compared to the all-year spring season in Ancient Hill Sect, the flaming heat at the front of Celestial Indus Sect was a little over the top, while the rear of the mountain was actually a frozen river. Zhu Yao, as someone who believed in Science, was basically unable to understand this environment.
Qi Han brought her to the top of the ice river. There was actually a gigantic lake there, and what's strange was that the lake was not frozen, but of course, it wasn't a hot spring either.
A giant iceberg was floating above the lake surface, and something could be faintly seen circulating inside. It looked dazzling and colourful.
However, Qi Han simply stopped at the lakeside. Just as Zhu Yao was feeling puzzled, he pointed to the iceberg in mid-air.
"The one frozen inside, is my disciple."
Zhu Yao was a little startled. Using her divine sense to inspect it, she realized there really was a presence of a live human being inside. However, it was very small and weak, it would be impossible to sense if she had not looked carefully. The most important thing was, the person was completely formless inside.
Zhu Yao silently cast a suspicious glance at him. This is considered human as well? Are you kidding me?
Only then did Qi Han sigh deeply, and he answered without a rush. "Actually, my disciple has yet to be born."
Eh? Mind speaking the human language!?
"My old friend fell into a crisis. When I rushed over, him and his wife had already been gravely injured." Qi Han's expression sank. "With my old friend's last breath, he retrieved the infant that was still alive from his wife's womb, and used a type of ancient mystic art to seal the infant inside this iceberg. He then had me place it in this place, so as to give the child form with the aid of formations. It had already been five years since then."
The hell, such a thing was possible? This was more advanced than modern technology, hey. They did not even need a surrogacy arrangement. Zhu Yao was dumbfounded at this entire world. She had only heard of plants that could grow without soil, but she never expected that humans could too.
Zhu Yao silently felt as though there were traces of her three views collapsing.
"However, at the moment when everything was supposed to bear fruit…" Qi Han frowned, and simply stared at that gigantic iceberg." However, the infant has yet to be born, and the child's presence is instead, becoming weaker. Right now, the infant's presence could no longer be sensed at all, thus, I invited Sovereign to help investigate this matter."
Zhu Yao gave a face behind his back. In the end, she was pulled here to deliver a child. She was trained in technology, not gynaecology, hey.
Zhu Yao suppressed the impulse to shout out in the depths of her heart, and looked at that iceberg once again. Qi Han said he was completely unable to sense any presence, however, she was sure that there was indeed a living person in there. The presence was simply very weak and small.
After flying up in the air and giving that iceberg a closer inspection, she found out that the formation was indeed very intricate. It was like an automatic supply unit, endlessly, and constantly inserting nourishment into the iceberg.
Among them, there was a large amount of ice spiritual energy currently inserting into the iceberg.
As Qi Han had said, there were no problems with this formation at all? Though it did kind of ruin her three views. However, theoretically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems.
But why was the infant's presence becoming weaker?
"Did you add a defensive formation to this formation?" Zhu Yao asked. Could it be that the infant was being blocked and could not come out?
Qi Han nodded. "However, this defensive formation is only able to block attacks from the outside. If there's any movements inside the iceberg itself, it can naturally break free from the formation."
Zhu Yao sank into silence, and for a moment, she could not understand what was wrong. Even if she used her divine sense to inspect the interior, she was only able to catch a few hints of uncertainties, and a strand of a weak presence. Forget about a formed infant, she was not even able to sense a physical body.
Heaving a sigh, just when Zhu Yao was planning on giving up, she suddenly saw a red spot of light entering the ice, which instantly disappeared without a trace the next moment.
That was fire spiritual energy! Could it be…
"You said that this infant has been growing for five years?" Zhu Yao turned and asked.
Qi Han nodded. "Yes, the infant should have taken form after ten months, yet, the child has still not been born, even though the child's still alive. From beginning till now, it's been five years."
"The hell!" Zhu Yao cursed. She found out the reason. "Follow me!"
Zhu Yao pulled Qi Han over, and then, according to several positions on the lake, she had him set down a different type of formation on each of them, though, all of them were the same spiritual energy guiding formations. The only difference was the type of spiritual energy each formation was drawing in.
When the spiritual energy guiding formations for metal, wood, water, fire and earth, five different elements, were completed, Zhu Yao had Qi Han activate the formations with her. The surrounding five types of spiritual energy thus began to be drawn into the center of the lake.
Zhu Yao then added a spiritual energy convergence formation at the top of the iceberg. She was unable to determine what kind of spirit veins the child inside possessed, so she did not dare to use formations that were too powerful in strength. Hence, the convergence of spiritual energy was set at a very slow pace as well.
The first to be drawn in was fire spiritual energy. As expected, that red spot of light entered the iceberg right after making contact. Furthermore, that presence that could only be barely sensed earlier, suddenly strengthened.
Qi Han sensed it as well, and he stared with eyes wide open. "Sovereign, this… What is going on?"
He never expected that, after thinking of countless ways, a few spiritual energy guiding formations could have actually solved the problem.
Zhu Yao sighed, and simply gave a bland reply. "The child inside is not an ice spirit vein holder."
Actually, the reason why the infant had yet to be born was very simple. This spiritual infant had always grown by being fed with spiritual energy, hence, during the child's birth, the child would naturally require the nourishment from spiritual energy. However, the child's spirit vein was different, while this iceberg was filled with only ice spiritual energy. Before it had taken form, it was still alright, however, after taking form, the infant's spirit vein would have formed as well. If the infant did not possess the ice spirit vein, naturally, the infant would be unable to take in ice spiritual energy. And as the rest of the spiritual energy particles were pitifully scarce, naturally, the infant's presence would weaken.
Earlier, she saw a spot of fire spiritual energy being absorbed into the iceberg, so the person inside, at the very least, possessed the fire spirit vein. However, she was simply afraid that the infant did not just possess the fire spirit vein, hence, she set down all five spiritual energy guiding formations.
After hearing her explanation, Qi Han finally understood as well, and a smile had already begun to surface on his face. At the same time while he was controlling the formations, he stared intensely at the iceberg in the center, so that he could strip apart the corresponding formation at the very moment he realizes that there was an incompatible spiritual energy.
After the fire spiritual energy, metal spiritual energy had begun to gather as well. Like the fire spiritual energy particles, the metal spiritual energy particles went inside the moment they made contact with the iceberg.
Metal and fire duo spirit veins? Joy appeared on Qi Han's face. This was an extremely great aptitude.
However, the next moment, wood spiritual energy entered the iceberg as well.
Could it be that the child possessed metal, fire and wood tri spirit veins? Mn, it was still acceptable.
However, immediately after, earth and water spiritual energy completely, and without restraints, were absorbed into the iceberg as well. Qi Han's expression became a little ugly.
He was almost unable to regain his senses. Could it be that his disciple who had yet to be born, actually possessed the trash penta spirit veins? This blow was simply too big.
After painstakingly waiting for five years, he was back at where he started.
In her heart, Zhu Yao silently lit a candle for this master who had been taken advantage as well. Look at you, see what happens after you take a disciple in such a hurry? Tragic, right? However, after recalling that her own Azureflight Sect had a bunch of little radishes with penta spirit veins, her feelings instantly balanced out again.
However, in her dream, she clearly remembered that Yue Hanxin, similar to Mu Meiyan, possessed the mutated ice spirit vein as well. Could it be that the person inside was not the Mary Sue Yue Hanxin? Or could it be that because Mu Meiyan did not succeed in taking over little radish, it had brought about a butterfly effect?
Though, in her dream, the first time Yue Hanxin stepped onto the stage, was as a ten-year-old girl, who had been brought up to the mountain by Qi Han himself. There wasn't even this part where she was sealed in ice as a spiritual infant. If Qi Han himself had not called the person inside the iceberg his disciple, she would not have thought that the spiritual infant inside the iceberg was Yue Hanxin.
Zhu Yao really couldn't understand, and she could only sense the presence that was growing stronger in the core of the iceberg.
After finding out that the infant could take in all five types of spiritual energy, Qi Han strengthened the spiritual energy guiding formation. The surrounding spiritual energy was endlessly pouring inside, and the presence inside became firmer as well.
'Kachak.' Six hours later, finally, a breaking sound could be heard from the iceberg.
Zhu Yao instantly stopped the spiritual energy guiding formations below, and, along with Qi Han, they stared at the iceberg above that was already beginning to break apart. Crack lines began to grow inch by inch on the gigantic iceberg, and not even a moment later, it was completely filled with cracks.
A shattered piece of ice, that was about the size of a palm, fell from above. At that moment, as though they had received a signal or some sort, the rest of the pieces of ice began to fall one after another as well.
While inside that iceberg, which she could only blurrily sense earlier, as though a door had been opened, she could already completely see the figures inside clearly.
However… The hell, why were there two!?
As the iceberg completely fell, the two little figures inside followed after as they fell straight down. That was a pair of twins, one male and one female. Their figures however, were not weak little infants, but children of about five years of age.
Qi Han flew up, instantly grabbed onto the girl, and looked dumbfoundedly at her while she was in his embrace.
The hell, there's still another one?
Zhu Yao simply felt like cursing out. At this moment, what the hell was he being in a daze for!?
Without a choice, Zhu Yao could only fly over as well. At the moment the boy was about to fall right into the waters, she fished him up, and returned to the lakeside.
It was unclear if it was because he had been sealed in the iceberg, but the child's body was entirely wet, with his eyes closed. His figure, however, was extremely small and frail, and his skin could basically be seen to be merely wrapping his bones. If she had not known he had been sealed in ice for five years, just by his bony figure, she would have definitely believed he was not even three years old.
Zhu Yao cast a Dirt Removal Art on him. After pondering for a moment, she once again took out a set of clothes from her ring, and covered him with it.
When Qi Han returned, he incidentally saw it, and he looked as though he had only just recalled that he had to give his disciple clothes as well. Hence, he retrieved a pink-coloured set of clothes. Most probably, he had long prepared it for her.
"Sovereign." Qi Han looked at the child in her embrace, and a hint of guilt surfaced on his face, as though he was a little regretful for not catching him earlier. "Back then, when my old friend sealed the infant, the child was already seven months in. I have investigated as well, and there was only a single female infant. However, I really never expected that there were actually two."


Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat by Simon de Myle. Photo: Wikimedia Commons.
From this week's Torah portion to the end of the Book of Exodus, the holy book describes, in painstaking detail and great length, the construction of the Mishkan — the first collective house of worship for the Jewish people.
And so on. But why do we need to know how big the Tabernacle was? It did not function in perpetuity. Its primary use was during the wilderness years. Eventually it was replaced by the Temple, an altogether larger and more magnificent structure. What, then, is the eternal significance of the dimensions of this modest, portable house of worship?
So what difference could it make whether the Tabernacle was large or small? Either way, it was a symbol of the Divine presence that is everywhere, wherever human beings open their heart to God. Its dimensions should not matter.
I came across an answer in an unexpected and indirect way some years ago. I had gone to Cambridge University to take part in a conversation on religion and science. When the session was over, a member of the audience came over to me, a quiet, unassuming man, and said, "I have written a book I think you might find interesting. I'll send it to you." I did not know at the time who he was.
A week later, the book arrived. It was called Just Six Numbers, and subtitled "The deep forces that shape the universe." With a shock I discovered that the author was Sir Martin, now Baron, Rees — the eventual President of the Royal Society, the oldest and most famous scientific body in the world. He is also the Master of Trinity College Cambridge, and in 2011, he won the Templeton Prize. I had been talking to Britain's most distinguished scientist.
His book was enthralling. It explained that the universe is shaped by six mathematical constants which, had they varied by a millionth or trillionth degree, would have resulted in no universe — or at least no life. Had the force of gravity been slightly different, for example, the universe would either have expanded or imploded in such a way as to preclude the formation of stars or planets. Had nuclear efficiency been slightly lower, the cosmos would consist only of hydrogen; no life would have emerged.
Torah commentators, especially the late Nechama Leibowitz, have drawn attention to the way the terminology of the construction of the Tabernacle is the same as the language used to describe God's creation of the universe. The Tabernacle was, in other words, a micro-cosmos, a symbolic reminder of the world God made. The fact that the Divine presence rested within it was not meant to suggest that God is there. It was meant to signal, powerfully and palpably, that God exists throughout the cosmos.
The dimensions of the universe are precise and mathematically exact. Only now are scientists beginning to realize how precise, and even this knowledge will seem rudimentary to future generations. We are on the threshold of a quantum leap in our understanding of the full depth of the words: "How many are your works, Lord; in wisdom You made them all." (Ps. 104:24). The word "wisdom" here — as in the many times it occurs in the account of the making of the tabernacle — means, "precise, exact craftsmanship" (see Maimonides, The Guide for the Perplexed, III:54).
Like the Tabernacle, Noah's ark symbolized the world in its Divinely-constructed order, the order humans had ruined by their violence and corruption. God was about to destroy that world, leaving only Noah, the ark and what it contained, as the basis for a new order.
Precision matters. Order matters. The misplacement of even a few of the 3.1 billion letters in the human genome can lead to devastating genetic conditions. The famous "butterfly effect" — that the beating of a butterfly's wing somewhere may cause a tsunami elsewhere, thousands of miles away — tells us that small actions can have large consequences. That is the message that the Tabernacle was intended to convey.
God creates order in the natural universe. We are charged with creating order in the human universe. That means painstaking care in what we say, what we do and what we must restrain ourselves from doing. Being good, specifically being holy, is not a matter of acting as the spirit moves us. It is a matter of aligning ourselves to the Will that made the world.

Louise experienced depression and anxiety after the birth of her first child and while she was pregnant with her second. She was helped by Aberlour's Perinatal Support Service.
"Before I had my two children I was working and enjoying life. My childhood had been difficult but I'm a positive person and was getting on with my life fine and dandy. I was paying my own way, doing my driving and enjoying my motorbikes. I wanted to make a living and get a house.
"I met the father of my children and things were great at first. He treated me well and we enjoyed each other's company. He had been in jail, but I always look for the best in people and I never judge a book by its cover. I ended up moving in with him. It was fine to begin with, then it got extremely bad because he wasn't getting any money. Everything went nuts. I don't know how to put it into words. I ended up losing my job because he didn't want me to leave him during the day. It went to the extent that he was selling drugs for a while to pay for basics like food and clothes. That went on for 2 and a half years. In that time, I fell pregnant with my eldest. That was a shock to begin with.
"I had never wanted to have children. But when I told my partner that, he put a knife to me and told me I better keep the wean. After he put a knife to me, the trust went and everything else with it. I was 21 weeks pregnant when I left him for the first time.
"I moved away from him and moved in with my father. Despite the break up, that was a fun time and I enjoyed my pregnancy then. My dad looked after me, got me my meals, he washed my clothes for me, ran me baths. But, stupidly I ended up getting back with my partner and he moved to be with me and get away from everything he knew. He got a flat and I moved in with him again.
"That was fine till a point, until I was heavily pregnant. I put on 4.5 stone with my first pregnancy. When I was 36 weeks I was jumping between my dad's house and his flat, dealing with 2 big dogs, mine and my partners. I was always running around, back and for it, trying to deal with everything myself. I started to feel like I wasn't me or getting any me-time. I never got to chill out and enjoy being pregnant like everybody tells you. Then I got my house and my partner moved in with me. I really struggled to get up and down the flights of stairs and that would make me want to stay indoors more as I couldn't face going up and down.
"Having the baby was fine though. She was breastfed fully, so I still didn't have any time to myself. It was about 8 months before she got to go out with anyone. I enjoyed that time though. My partner was good, he enjoyed being a dad again, starting from scratch. It was nice to see. It wasn't long before I fell pregnant again with my second child and his fourth.
"That was when things really took a turn for the worse. He got extremely violent. He would push me, throw things at me, shouting and screaming in my face in front of our child. The worst bit was him screaming and shouting so much that the dogs started to fight with each other. He neglected me and our child and with another on the way, I started to think I couldn't cope.
"I heard about the Perinatal Befriending Support Service though a friend at the playgroup. She had had a befriender. I was happy for it; it couldn't have come at a better time. Angie and Catherine came to visit me. I enjoyed meeting them, especially because they were helping. I got matched with a befriender in 2 weeks. Angie had a friend in mind for the stuff I'm in to so it didn't take long at all.
"My first meeting with my befriender was good. We just clicked. I was still with my partner at that time, and he didn't make things easy, but he agreed to watch the baby while we went out. Because I was pregnant it was hard for me to get the courage to leave the house. But my befriender encouraged me and drove us out to a local village. We walked around an old castle on the seashore. It was good to just go there and not have a care in the world. I enjoyed it and I'll never forget it.
"My partner was sceptical about me having a befriender at first. He didn't agree with the law and he was worried that my befriender might see what was going on, all the violence, and say something. My partner was ok eventually because my befriender tried to get to know him, he was part of my life at the time. He encouraged me to go with her more and more because I was starting to get demented in the house.
"My befriender would come to the house and then we'd go for a walk, see some historical stuff. That's what I like to do. A few times we sat in the house, but it was hard to do that with the kid as she had a short attention span so it was better to go out because my daughter was occupied and I could talk to my befriender. We'd just take the dog and the kid out, go to the park, an outdoor farm, out for coffees.
"I saw her throughout my second pregnancy. Having her there made me realise a lot. She didn't have to say anything. Just looking at her face and her body language taught me about boundaries and respect. Until then I was isolated, I didn't see anybody or get out. I was a first-time mum with two kids in the space of two years; it was a lot.
"If it wasn't for her I don't think I'd be here, to be completely honest, I'd be locked up. I was under so much pressure. Having her and her always being positive showed me s me reasons why I might be feeling bad – but she always gave me a reason to feel better, because I was dealing with it. She showed me that I wasn't giving up and I've never given up. She made me realise how I was living. My life shouldn't be what it was. She never gave me advice but she let me know what being a human was, and it's not getting locked up and getting hit and getting screamed at. She showed me that another way of life was possible. I'd forgotten what the world could be like and I'm thankful that she showed me. It helped me then and it still does every day. I already knew things weren't right and she helped me make a change.
"I left my partner before my second child was born. He pushed me into the bath when I was heavily pregnant and I thought, enough is enough. I walked out. I went to my dad's house with the kid and my dog and called his family to tell them to get him out of my house. It took him two days to leave and that was it, he's never been back in.
"Having a befriender has made me become a very strong and wise person. That's the only way I can describe it. I hope other folk get a befriender too. I'd recommend to everybody. Anybody who is in doubt, anyone who needs a hand. Even help with shopping, my befriender helped me with that a lot once I'd kicked out my partner. I needed someone in my life like my befriender. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have the courage I've got now. She didn't just help me, she helped my girls too. And she's always said I've helped her, which was so nice to hear.
"My life now is a lot different to how it was before I got involved with the service. I live on my own with the girls. I have PTSD from what I went through. My ex-partner was diagnosed with a serious mental health condition and put on anti-psychotic drugs. He sees the girls once every two weeks now, but he is only interested in the older one. He never formed an attachment with the youngest and I don't want her getting jealous of the attention that daddy gives her sister. I don't want him to break the bond that they have so I've stopped bending over backwards to accommodate him.

Obermohr ist ein Ortsteil der im rheinland-pfälzischen Landkreis Kaiserslautern liegenden Ortsgemeinde Steinwenden. Bis 1969 war der landwirtschaftlich geprägte Ort eine selbständige Gemeinde. Er verfügt jedoch nicht über den rechtlichen Status als Ortsbezirk.

Lage
Obermohr liegt im Westen der Gemarkung der Ortsgemeinde Steinwenden im Landstuhler Bruch und erstreckt sich nördlich des orografisch rechten Ufers des Mohrbachs. Durch den Ort selbst fließt der Reuschbach, ehe er in ersteren mündet. Zu Obermohr gehört neben dem Hauptort noch der Weiler Porbacherhof.

Geschichte

Mittelalter
Keimzelle des Ortes bildet der Obermohrerhof – auch Obermohrer Hof geschrieben –, der ein Drittel des Ortsteils einnimmt. Die erste urkundliche Erwähnung erfolgte im Jahr 987 als villa moraha; Landbesitzer und Rechteinhaber war das Kloster Lambrecht.

Im 14. Jahrhundert wechselte Obermohr schließlich in den Besitz der Familie von Stötern, die ihrerseits den Herren von Veldenz unterstand, ehe Jeckel von Stötern dieses Hofgut an Agnes von Flörsheim verkaufte. Da letztere die Witwe von Henne Blick von Lichtenberg war, war dessen Familie bis 1612 Eigentümer.

Frühe Neuzeit
Im Zuge des Dreißigjährigen Kriegs, bei dem unter anderem die örtliche Kapelle zerstört worden war, wurde Obermohr von seinen Bewohnern verlassen und war in den Folgejahren weder neu besiedelt noch wieder aufgebaut. 1768 wurde Christoph Anton von Hautzenberg neuer Eigentümer vor Ort. Der Grundbesitz wurde auf seine Initiative neu eingeteilt, weshalb zahlreiche Bauern ihnen gehörende landwirtschaftlich genutzte Flächen an ihn abtreten mussten. Bis heute sind mehrere Grenzsteine, die sein Wappen zeigen, in Obermohr zu finden.

Bis Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts gehörte Obermohr zum Oberamt Lautern, das der Kurpfalz unterstand und unterhalb dieser Verwaltungsebene zum Gericht Ramstein. 1793 riss sich die französische Revolutionsregierung den gesamten linksrheinischen Adelsbesitz unter den Nagel, sodass Hautzenberg sich aus Obermohr zurückzog.

Von 1798 bis 1814, als die Pfalz Teil der Ersten Französischen Republik (bis 1804) und anschließend Teil des Ersten Französischen Kaiserreichs war, war Obermohr in den Kanton Landstuhl eingegliedert. 1803 wurde die katholische Pfarrei gegründet, nachdem für die Gemeinde zuvor diejenige aus Kirchmohr zuständig gewesen war; Filialen waren in Steinwenden und Kottweiler-Schwanden vorhanden.

20. Jahrhundert
1928 hatte der Ort 460 Einwohner, von denen 434 katholisch und 26 evangelisch waren und in 88 Wohngebäuden lebten. Im Zuge der rheinland-pfälzischen Verwaltungsreform wurde Obermohr am 7. Juni 1969 in den Nachbarort Steinwenden eingemeindet. Dort bildet er jedoch keinen Ortsbezirk, sodass ebenso wenig ein Ortsbeirat existiert. 1981 siegte der Ort bei dem Wettbewerb "Unser Dorf soll schöner werden" auf Landesebene und erreichte auf Bundesebene die Bronzemedaille. 1987 feierte Obermohr zudem sein 1000-jähriges Jubiläum.

Einwohnerentwicklung
Zum Zeitpunkt der Eingemeindung nach Steinwenden im Jahr 1969 besaß Obermohr 674 Einwohner. Inzwischen hat der seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre anhaltende Trend, wonach in der Westpfalz ein Bevölkerungsrückgang zu verzeichnen ist, den Ort ebenfalls erreicht. Hatte er 2006 noch 706 Einwohner, waren es zwei Jahre später nur noch 593.

Wirtschaft und Infrastruktur

Infrastruktur
Die Struktur ist überwiegend landwirtschaftlich geprägt, wenngleich in den letzten Jahrzehnten einige Neubaugebiete entstanden. Obermohr ist Sitz einer zum Dekanat Homburg gehörenden katholischen Pfarrei, die dem Zentralpfarramt Hütschenhausen untersteht.

Vor Ort existieren mit der örtlichen in den Jahren 1845 und 1846 erbauten katholischen Kirche und dem Obermohrerhof insgesamt zwei Kulturdenkmäler. In der Nähe der Kirche ist darüber hinaus ein Bürgerhaus vorhanden.  Noch im 20. Jahrhundert existierten vor Ort außerdem ein Posthaus sowie eine katholische Schule. Jeden vierten Sonntag im Juli findet in Obermohr die Kirchweih statt.

Verkehr
Durch Obermohr verläuft die Landesstraße 363, die in Glan-Münchweiler beginnt und bis nach Steinalben führt sowie die Kreisstraße 11, die nach Reuschbach führt.

Obwohl die 1868 eröffnete Bahnstrecke Landstuhl–Kusel den südlichen Rand des Siedlungsgebiets von Obermohr tangiert, erhielt das Dorf zunächst keinen eigenen Bahnhalt; stattdessen mussten seine Bewohner den zwei Kilometer entfernten Bahnhof Steinwenden nutzen. Anfang der 1950er Jahre setzte sich der damalige Bürgermeister Hermann Staab jedoch für einen Haltepunkt an der Bahnlinie ein, da er selber hauptberuflich als Lohnbuchhalter auf dem Rammelsbacher Steinbruch beschäftigt war und somit selbst regelmäßig Nutzer dieser Bahnlinie war. Die Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) gab für einen solchen grünes Licht, stellte jedoch zur Bedingung, dass die Gemeinde die Kosten für Bau und Unterhalt übernehmen müsse. Staab gründete daraufhin eine Bürgerinitiative, um seinen Plan zu forcieren. In ehrenamtlicher Arbeit wurde ein 150 Meter langer Bahnsteig links eines Zufahrtsweges errichtet. Nachdem die Arbeiten schon weit fortgeschritten waren, wies die Bundesbahn hingegen an, dass der Bahnsteig rechts des Weges entstehen müsse, womit der bisherige Bau umsonst gewesen war. Trotzdem wurde der Bahnsteig, dessen Länge nun 185 Meter betrug, an den von der DB gewünschten Standort verlegt, was im Frühjahr 1955 vollendet wurde.

Die Inbetriebnahme war zum Sommerfahrplan des Jahres vorgesehen. Am 30. Mai waren viele Bewohner auf dem Bahnsteig, um die Inbetriebnahme zu feiern, jedoch fuhr der erste Zug ohne zu halten durch. Erst im Nachhinein erkannte der Lokführer seinen Fehler und ließ den Zug zum neuen Haltepunkt zurückfahren. In den Folgemonaten fuhren Züge oft durch, ohne in Obermohr zu halten, da das Lokpersonal sich erst langsam an die Existenz der neuen Betriebsstelle gewöhnt hatte. Im Gegensatz zu den übrigen, zuvor schon existierenden Unterwegshalten erhielt Obermohr kein Empfangsgebäude, sondern lediglich ein Wartehäuschen in Massivbauweise, das sich in Besitz der Gemeinde befand. In den 1990er Jahren wurde es durch ein Moderneres ersetzt.

Grave of the Fireflies Summary
Submitted by: jpappalardo
Category: English
The Grave of The Fireflies is a Japanese Anime about a boy named Seita and his younger sister called Setsuko. This movie takes place in Japan 1940 during World War II. Seita and Setsuko lived with their mother while their father was in the Navy. An air raid siren went off. People rushed to the bomb shelter, thousands of Incendiary bombs come crashing down on rooftops and paths. Seita and Setsuko make it into the shelter but are unsure where their mother is. Seita and Setsuko's house is destroyed. Seita receives word that their mother is in hospital and has been severely injured. He tells Setsuko that her mother's a bit sick. They stay at their aunties. Their auntie is treats them awfully and taunts them about not getting jobs and helping rebuild Japan. After a while of living at their aunties, Seita is informed that his mother has passed away. Seita decides to lie to Setsuko and just say that she's still in hospital. Even after their mother died their auntie still taunted and teased Seita and Setsuko, so they decided it would be a smart idea to just move into the bomb shelter, that way they could get there instantly if an air raid siren went off, and the bomb shelter was perfectly livable.
While spending their first night in the shelter Setsuko gets scared, so very cleverly Seita catches lots of fireflies and lets them go underneath the mosquito netting, giving them a beautiful light. In the morning Setsuko starts to feel very sick. This only gets much worse. Setsuko becomes extremely ill and has to be taken to a doctor; the doctor says she needs food. But Seita doesn't have food. Setsuko's condition gets far worse, and eventually Setsuko dies Seita loses all meaning of life and becomes a homeless person, and eventually dies away too.

Lexus leads J D Power survey 2011 for 11th straight year
by Editorial TeamPublished 27 May 2011 at 10:15

James Semple's Views on Promoting the Good of the College
PrintGenerating
Container Inventory
On July 6, 1825, William & Mary law professor, James Semple, submitted his views on how to promote the good of the College to Board of Visitors member and alumnus John Tyler. He's responding to what appears to be a call by the Board of Visitors to the faculty to offer suggestions for how to improve the state of the school and bring it back to its "former standing." His views are submitted in draft form and include strikeouts and changes he made. He suggests ending the term in early June, rather than the 4th of July. He also suggests reducing student tuition to make it more affordable to attend. He writes, "expenses of the students should be reduced so low as to enable parents of moderate fortunes to send their sons to College." He then goes into detail as to how the College can cut student expenses. Additional suggestions include, but are not limited to, establishing a Grammar School, repeal the resolution which authorizes and requires W&M's president to oversee the conduct of professors, and allowing faculty to determine if students can stay or have to leave due to behavior.

The U.S. military reflects the racism of the U.S. capitalist system.
African Americans' role in the military during the Civil War was wholly progressive. Indeed, Black soldiers had a vital stake in smashing the hideous system of slavery.
While President Abraham Lincoln often expressed his indifference to the issue of emancipation, he was forced to recognize the absolute necessity of arming African Americans.
Black soldiers soon became feared by the Southern slavocracy. Their tenacity, skill and valor proved decisive to the North winning the Civil War.
For instance, when Gen. Ulysses S. Grant was sent to fight Gen. Robert E. Lee's military forces in Virginia, he requested Black regiments as his principal troops.
Then there was Harriet Tubman. A former slave, she became an intelligence officer for the Union Army, operating behind enemy lines.
Tubman's courage made possible the capture of Confederate garrisons--and the famous "Underground Railroad" she organized led to the liberation of hundreds of slaves.
All told, 200,000 African Americans served in the Army and Navy during the Civil War. Thirty thousand died in combat.
The Civil War was the last time Black people had a positive stake in a U.S. war's outcome. After they were betrayed during Reconstruction, the African American people were further undermined and impoverished when the South was overrun by capital investments in manufacturing, lumber and agriculture. Then capital cast its eyes abroad. The Monroe Doctrine had already reserved all of Latin America to be exploited exclusively by U.S. capitalists.
The mysterious explosion of the U.S. battleship Maine in Havana on Feb. 18, 1898, served as an excuse for Washington to declare war on Spain. The U.S. invaded the Spanish colonies of the Philippines, Guam, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, colonizing them anew, this time under U.S. control.
Many Black soldiers played a military role this time, too- -but on a different side.
In 1899 under the leadership of Aguinaldo, the Filipino people furiously fought the new invaders. They inflicted many casualties on the U.S. Army, which claimed to be "helping the people's quest for freedom."
The U.S. government retaliated by slaughtering hundreds of thousands of Filipino women, men and children.
This genocide was not passively accepted inside the United States, as mainstream historians contend. For example, the Anti-Imperialist League held mass protests in major cities throughout the country.
Significant anti-war sentiment was also expressed widely in Black communities. The Black press as well as other representatives of the African American people vigorously denounced the war. The great historian and African American leader W.E.B. Du Bois played a notable role in this movement.
Most important, Black resistance surfaced inside the U.S. military. Four Black regiments sent to fight in the Philippines established a bond with the Native people there, who also were dark-skinned.
These Black troops resented white officers and soldiers describing Filpinos with the same racist slurs applied to African Americans in the United States.
Filipino insurgents appealed to Black soldiers not to fight on the side of imperialism. Posters denouncing racist lynchings in the United States were placed throughout the islands.
This political agitation helped lead to many Black troops deserting the U.S. military.
Some of these African Americans went over to the other side, joining the Filipino guerrilla fighters.
The most notable was David Fagan, formerly of the 24th Infantry Division. The Filipino freedom fighters so respected Fagan that he was made a commander in their army.
David Fagan's example demonstrates how unity is possible. This is a highly relevant lesson today. Once unity among the working classes and peasant farmers of all nationalities can be established, it lays the basis for overthrowing the tyrannical reign of U.S. imperialism--and preventing another 100 years of terror.
