Metal magic
Kyleigh Garnan, a senior from Baldwin, anneals part of her final project for an Advanced Metals class. Annealing is a process that makes metals more malleable for use with a hot flame. "I really like silver and how the color changes when heated," Garman said. "There's something intriguing and kind of primitive about using such old metals that have been recycled over thousands of years."

'Birther' bill challenges Obama
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — Arizona lawmakers expressing doubt over whether President Barack Obama was born in the United States are pushing a bill through the Legislature that would require the president to show his birth certificate to get on the state's 2012 ballot.
The House passed the measure Wednesday on a 31-29 vote, ignoring protests from opponents who said it's casting Arizona in an ugly light and could give the elected secretary of state broad powers to kick a presidential candidate off the ballot.
"We're becoming a national joke," Rep. Chad Campbell, a Phoenix Democrat who opposes the measure, said Thursday.
The measure's sponsor, Republican Rep. Judy Burges of Skull Valley, said she wasn't sure Obama could prove his eligibility for the ballot in Arizona and wanted to erase all doubts.
"You have half the population who thinks its fine, and you have the other half of the population who has had doubts built up in their mind," Burges said.
So-called "birthers" have contended since the 2008 presidential campaign that Obama was ineligible to be president because, they argue, he was actually born
in Kenya, his father's homeland. The Constitution says that a person must be a "natural-born citizen" to be eligible for the presidency.
Hawaii officials have repeatedly confirmed Obama's citizenship, and his Hawaiian birth certificate has been made public, along with birth notices from two Honolulu newspapers published within days of his birth in
days of his birth in August 1961.
Courts have rebuffed lawsuits challenging Obama's eligibility, but the issue hasn't gone away. Lawmakers have introduced similar bills in a handful of other states. They include Oklahoma.

ments to be president. The secretary of state could then decide to keep a candidate off the Arizona ballot if he or she had reasonable cause to believe the candidate was ineligible.
Arizona's measure would require U.S. presidential candidates to submit documents to the secretary of state proving they meet the constitutional require-
Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett opposes the bill, arguing it gives his office too much power, according to his spokesman Matthew Benson.

Benson said Bennett, a Republican, had no doubts about Obama's citizenship.
Brewer will give it her support. He, spokesman, Paul Senseman, said the governor wouldn't comment on pending legislation, but he added she didn't have doubts about Obama's citizenship.
The bill now goes to the Senate, where supporters are trying to pull together enough votes to pass the measure. If they do, it's unclear if Republican Gov. Jan
Rep. Tom Chabin (D-Flagstaff) pleaded with his colleagues to oppose the birth certificate measure Wednesday.
"When you undermine the sitting president of the United States, you undermine our nation, and it makes us look very ugly," Chabin said Thursday.
