When Alina Tudor, a nurse care manager at Adventist Medical Center (AMC) in Portland, Ore., met with a patient named Margaret, she discovered a need beyond typical medical care. Margaret found it impossible to navigate the steps to her home without help. She needed a ramp to her front door. Alina began brainstorming with Don Ingram, AMC engineer for clinics.

This conversation is closed.
Is there any way to prevent religious debates from turning into a big fight?
People discuss lots of things, politics, sports, anything
But when they discuss religious opinions, most of the time, they get all angry and try to win even with fight.
why is that? why that can't be a normal subject?
and more important, How can we prevent this?
Closing Statement from Farokh Shahabi Nezhad
Tnx everyone for their replies. I enjoyed learning from different aspect for this problem.
I can only conclude this : Don't argue with someone unless they are open minded and ready to be changed and challenged.

Mark Kurtz 20+Feb 8 2013: Farokh,
Perhaps we humans are foolish in the way we handle relations with others. We tend to judge others inaccurately, placing people in "pigeon holes" of identity according to what we understand. We try to force others, through varying techniques, to accept religions and doctrine. Humans have not developed an all-knowledgeable authority. Some have strong convictions even though humans are not omniscient. We tend to think there is something "wrong" with a person who does not accept conversion to his point of view.
Perhaps we'd all be wiser to refrain from attempts to taking something OUT of a person, but be kind, loving and teach or share what we know is best from within ourselves. We'd be wise to accept a person "just where they are" in their present belief situation and look for the good in a person. Rather than make rules for others, become the best we expect of others.
Fights involve failures of persons to listen well and lovingly understand a person's point of view. It's better to listen and respect than to jam a person into a jar he doesn't want. Let God do the judging; humans are not qualified to judge another's soul nor do we have supreme capabilities to see into the deeper reaches of people.
Mark Kurtz 20+Feb 8 2013: Thank you. More could be said, i.e. history of racial conflicts, water and territorial claims, ego and false superiority concepts, et al. Humankind learns too slowly on some things. We'd all be better if we look to the future of peace and make peace deliberately through techniques other than harm or war!
What human being has ever been granted ultimate supremacy over others for all things? We evolve. What is the goal of evolution of thought, of physical, of relationships? This is food for thought.
Keep thinking!

- I love GertrudesJeriDined on 9/16/2014Awesome food, service & setting. I have not found food like this anywhere. The tastes flirt with my senses and I feel a lot of the food came from a garden that day.Special Features:
- Always a Great TimeKayakJayDined on 9/10/2014Gertrude's has both high-quality food and a superb wait staff. Each time we have visited was an experience to remember. We shared a bottle of fine wine, and we shared appetizers and main courses between me, my wife and our son. We dined outside under a supermoon and left very sated and pleased.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BruncherBruncherVIPDined on 9/6/2014Great find tucked into Desert Botanical Gardens. Gorgeous views set the scene for simple well prepared fare, attentive service. Excellent choice to catch up with friends over well prepared salads and fish. Wonderful, creamy sorbets in piquant flavor were a nice way to end the meal and linger over coffee.Special Features:
- Delicious yet again!KhajDined on 8/25/2014We went for a late lunch and loved it! The food was delicious, service was excellent and being in the middle of the Botanical Garden makes for a beautiful view. We didn't want to leave!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Ambiencenu2phoenixDined on 8/15/2014I took my wife there for dinnee on our anniversary. The service was outstanding with very personable wait and kitchen staff. I found the food to be very tasty (I had venison sausage). My wife had the burger (she is not a foodie) and she said it was really good. We sat outside on the patio. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is a foodie and wants a great atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- gertrude's was a disappointmentliketoeatDined on 8/3/2014THE WAIT STAFF AND THE MANAGER TRIED TO MAKE THE MEAL AS BEST THEY COULD...THOUGH THE WEBSITE SAYS THAT THEY SERVE BRUNCH THROUGHOUT THE DAY....IT DID NOT SAY THAT THEREFORE THE REGULAR DINNER MENU WAS NOT IN EFFECT...THE MANAGER MADE SURE THAT ANYTHING WE WANTED OFF THE MENU WOULD BE OKAY...EXCEPT THAT WHATEVER WE ORDERED DID NOT TASTE ANY WHERE AS GOOD AS IT SHUOLD HAVE...MY HUMUS HAD SEEN BETTER DAYS...NO CUCCUMBER THOUGH IT WAS CLEARLY STATED ON THE MENU...MY WIFE AHD ORDERED THE FISH WHICH WAS ABSOLUTELY TASTELESS...NO FLAVOR WHATSOEVER...OUR GUEST WHO WAS THE REASON WE HAD COME TO GERTRUDE'S ORDERED A DISH OF MIXED GREENS AND GRAINS WHICH SHE SEEMED TO ENJOY...I WOULD DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND GERTRUDE'SSpecial Features:
- a lovely lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 7/26/2014The food was delicious and service by Katrina was excellent.Special Features:
- A Culinary Delight!luvgoodfoodDined on 7/16/2014From the moment we entered Gertrude's and until we left, we experienced top notch customer service from everyone we encountered. The food was beyond our expectations and we will definitely be returning on a regular basis! We were also delighted we happened in on a night they had live entertainment in the form of "Dueling Pianos" which made for a fun time as well. Nothing better than great food, great customer service, and fantastic music on a Wednesday night!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The food...GreatChoiseDined on 6/27/2014We ordered from the appetizers so that we would not miss the concert and found the found good. However, the sausage dish was a bit dry with not enough of the wonderful apple chutney. Would I order it again? Yes and just request additional sauce. The shredded pork was also a bit dry; however, given the time of day, it was understandable. This was my first visit and I truly see and taste its potential.Special Features:
- Great for any occassionOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/24/2014A group of friends met for evening dinner and thoroughly enjoyed this hidden gem in the gardens. The service was excellent, food timely and delicious. I highly recommend Gertrude's for any occasion and local flavor!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely experience050214Dined on 6/22/2014First time at Gertrude's, but not the last. Food was excellent, And ambience very enjoyable. The room was only partially occupied (brunch in Summer), so it was not noisy at all.Special Features:
- Service was poor, food okChrisDined on 6/21/2014The setting is really attractive. The food is expensive and just okay. Our server was a nice person, but a terrible waiter. This is not the first time we have had poor service at this restaurant. Everyone is friendly but they do not know how to offer decent service. Sad. I don't know if we will return.Special Features:
- Father's Day brunchNvrdoreviewsDined on 6/15/2014I made reservations for 5 at 9:30am for brunch. We started out the morning early with a stroll through the botanical gardens. We arrived at Gertrude's, were seated and orders were taken within 10 minutes. An hour later our meal still wasn't served, so we left. I will not recommend Gertrude's to anyone.
- Recent Botanical Garden Concert2ChandlerTravelersDined on 6/13/2014I thought it would be nice to have dinner @ Gertrude's prior to the concert & because I've never eaten there before. I was less than impressed with the menu & wonder about the chef's taste for these lunch and dinner items. Maybe it's just me but I think food items are quite priceySpecial Features:
- 1HikerfellaDinesDined on 6/13/2014Enjoyed the Quinoa Salad that a piece of Grilled Salmon was "ADDED" to. Was a Great dish and would go there to order again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Much improveddesertratnanaDined on 6/12/2014This was our third visit to Gertrude's & we were pleasantly surprised. Our other visits were during the insanely busy Chihuly exhibit, but we decided to give G one last opportunity to win us over. The new menu, although not extensive by any means, had some delicious-sounding new choices. I chose the happy hour small bites Street Tacos & they were very good, as was the Gazpacho, My husband had the Country Ham sandwich & said it was very good as well. Our server was attentive & knowledgeable. Prices are still a little high for what you get, but everything is fresh & we will come back again. Kudos to the new chef for changing things up a bit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Linda HrachCamoDined on 6/6/2014Very pleasant dinning experience. Gertrude's is perfectly located for those who participate in the concerts performed at the Desert Botanical Gardens.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expensive food at DBGBillHDined on 6/6/2014We took two friends to Gertrudes prior to attending a Music In The Garden concert. First, the menu is relatively sparse and exotic. The main part of what we each had (chicken,salmon) was excellent. The accompanying side were a bit strange. Dessert was superb. I was somewhat put off by the prices. With no alcoholic beverages, the bill for four with tip was about $150. We chose Gertrudes because the meal on the Terrace was too spicy. Would we go back? Somewhat iffy.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 5/31/2014We heard they lost their Chef who basically put this place on the map! Didn't excpect this fast of a fall from grace. Though menu items are the same; presentation and quality have slipped from a 10 to a 4. Service timing was insane...waiter rushed us to order claiming food would take 40 MINUTES and everything arrived in 4!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/31/20142nd time coming. Setup reservation on Thursday for Sat at 645pm for 4. Arrived gave my name and the hostess said we had already checked in. Well how can that be if we just got there. She had looked at our name for someone else. So our table was gone. We had to wait 45 mins for another table. They apologized but didn't help. Spoiled the evening. The manager didn't even offer to comp anything. This should be a lesson to the hostess to check the names very carefully. I;m not sure if I will come back or recommend this place to anyone else.That was very poor on there part. The server was rushing us it seemed like too. The food is very good. Just put yourself in this situation. .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful Environment, Convenientnatureandtheatrelover22Dined on 5/31/2014Gertrude's is conveniently located on the beautiful grounds of the Botanical Gardens. For anyone taking a trip to the Gardens or Zoo, this is a lovely dining experience to choose - parking is very abundant and provides a moderate walk before dining. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. We sat outdoors and enjoyed the Palo Verde trees overhead and the rocks in the distance. Our server was friendly, attentive, and available. We were only moderately impressed with our food - a salad with chicken and some hummus. I would definitely return to Gertrude's and try something else on the menu especially if I were returning for an event - such as the "Midsummer's Night Dream" performance we attended in the Gardens.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- choppersDined on 5/31/2014Overall the food was excellent but the beans with the Tacos were tasteless. Get another side if ordering the Tacos. The beet salad with Salmon was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dm13Dined on 5/31/2014Good food and great service. Server knew the menu and made great recommendations. Fish tacos were great as was the hummus appetizer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Midsummer. Night's Foodie DreameDoctorKDined on 5/31/2014Thoroughly enjoyed our pre Shakespeare evening at the Garden. The food was excellent as was the atmosphere and service.A lovely oasis .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Again Gertrude's is good....dbeagarDined on 5/31/2014Not great, but good. The food was fine and the service was very good. Combined, the experience this time at Gertrude's was as expected...which will keep me coming back.Special Features:
- DinnergertbDined on 5/30/2014The food was very good but not excellent. I was surprised by how casual the menu was. I expected more dinner options.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nothing really positiveDinerdanDined on 5/30/2014Made a reservation at 10:00am on 05/30/14 for indoors. Reservation was confirmed. When my date and I arrived we were told they only had outdoor availability. After a short discussion and while be escorted to the patio we past 4 empty tables inside on the way. After being seated and my making another comment the hostess told me she would look into the situation. Never heard another thing. After sitting for over 5min. in the heat and asking for water the server who was bringing it after another lengthy period chatted with the next table for 3-4 more minute. Food was average. Decided to try this as we were attending a concert in the garden. Next time I will just plan differently. Oh and BTW...walked past 4 empty tables inside on the way out.
- Great for pre-eventsOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/30/2014Gertrude's serves amazing, healthy food that is perfect for pre-events at the Desert Botanical Garden. Perfect for out-of-town guests. Sure to wow them!!! Delicious with great service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Highly recommendedDietitianFoodieDined on 5/27/2014This is a lovely restaurant for a special occasion. The service was outstanding. The food was very good-- except for the calimari which was rubbery and not cooked quite right. The inside of the restaurant is a little bit tired looking. I suggest touch up on the paint on the walls. It looks dinged up here and there. The location is an absolutely beautiful garden location. It is easy to overlook minor flaws when the environment is magnificent. Overall this is highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Predictably excellentSMunroeDined on 5/26/2014We've dined here 10 or so times in the past year. This time we were meeting old friends for breakfast. Gertrude's is great for special occasions and is great for out of town guests. The DBG is a scenic backdrop, the food and service is always excellent and its always nice to stay and linger around the gardens. We'll be backSpecial Features:
- Great food and setting.MarymathDined on 5/25/2014Unexpected find! Not a thing we did not like. Menu was restaurant week and choices were excellent. Wish we lived closer so we could visit more often. We visited the garden in late afternoon (not too many people) and being able to stay in the same area for dinner was an unexpected bonus.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic foodsPJSPADined on 5/25/2014Really great use of vegetables! I had the egg white fritita and it was deliciousSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PerfectPearlhdDined on 5/24/2014Everything was perfect. The food, the seasoning, atmosphere, service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Summer is quietlolaDined on 5/23/2014rare temperate early summer evening made Gertrude's an anniversary treat. Food is interesting, good wine list, friendly, attentive wait staff, leisurely service pace was appreciated. Quiet on patio. Lovely evening. We wished the Garden had been open till 9 (instead of 8pm) for a post-dinner stroll.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingcidergirlDined on 5/23/2014I looked forward to my first time at Gertrude's. We arrived early, but were seated immediately as there were only a few other diners. The waitress quickly explained the specials and took our drink order. The drinks arrived and our food order taken within 10 minutes of arrival. It then took more than 25 minutes to get our food. I ordered the chicken. The meat was hot and very tasty. Unfortunately, the mashed potatoes and asparagus were nearly cold and bland. My companion's salmon was warm enough, but there was very little taste to the broth or mussels and she had to ask for bread to go with it (the waitress brought one small piece). The menu was also difficult to understand and quite limited. A disappointing experience.
- The following 1101 reviews are from the Gertrude's reviews archive.
- Very romanticMichelleDined on 5/22/2014Great choice for a romantic evening with your sweetheart. Our meal was delicious!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/19/2014It was so empty , part of its charm is the ambiance and excitement that a full house presents. But it was our choice to grab something small, fast while peaking in on a few plants.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gourmet in the Gardentomtravel2Dined on 5/18/2014I have visited the Desert Botanic Garden of Phoenix many times, but had not eaten at Gertrude's. It lived up to the positive reviews my friends had passed along. We tried the fish tacos, chile rubbed ribs and the "chocolate" mouse dish. We both thought all were very tasty. Despite a full house, the service was great. We were promptly seated at our reservation time plus about 10 minutes due to the traffic coming in. It was the last night of the Chihuly in the Garden event. The setting is lovely with desert folliage visible through windows and the open doors of the al fresco seating area. All of the entres were well prepared and artfully presented despite the capacity crowd. Well done, and we will dine there again!Special Features:
- birthday dinnerhbmomoDined on 5/18/2014My family and I went to the Chihuly exhibit to celebrate my 24th birthday. We did the 4-8 pm slot and walked around a few hours before having dinner at 6. After dinner we continued to walk around and with the lights on the beautiful glasswork in the nighttime it was as if we were at a different exhibit. Such a cool experience and I would recomend it to everyone!Special Features:
- Kind of DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/18/2014I was really looking forward to dining here because i had heard so many great things. We went for a brunch (Sunday) and we were nicely greated by 'we have been waiting for you" which made you feel really good. The waitress was very nice. The server was short didn't place the plate in front of you but just radomly sat the plates down. My Husband and I split Farmers sandwich and a beet salad which was very good. Our guests had the American breakfast which was nothing special, no better than what you could fix at home. No garnish, not even a piece of parsley..nothing to make it special in anyway. I was very disappointed and I'm sorry to say we probably won't go back again. Way too many excellent restaurants to settle.

A Chat With Peggsy
A Chat With Peggsy
Sean Peggs recently returned from a trip of a lifetime. Wining the prestigious Rip Curl Raglan Pro, Peggsy got a wild card spot in the Rip Curl Padang cup. Not only did he get to surf one of the best waves in the world with a bunch of the best tube shooters in the world, he knocked out a few on his way to a semi final placing. We caught up with Peggsy for a quick chat back home in Tairua.
Peggsy, how are ya mate? Settled back into the real world after living the dream for a couple months?
I'm great thanks! Yeah it was a bit of a shock coming back to the N.Z winter after such an epic time in Indo. But yeah I had to give up the Nasis and get back to normal life.
It must have been a dream trip, Indo for 6 weeks and then the chance to Surf against some of the best surfers in the world, at one of the most prestigious tube riding competitions in the world. Tell us a little bit about your trip, what you did to prepare, how many night's you got stuck in the Vortex etc…
Yeah I had the best time over there. I spent a lot of time staying out on the Bukit Peninsula just surfing heaps and hanging with some friends that came over. I actually hardly partied at all, I went into Kuta a couple of times and just wanted to bail straight away. I surfed Ulus a lot and did a couple trips out of Bali including a week at Lakey Peak. That was a sick trip and perfect training for Padang, especially on one morning when it was 8ft+. Then it came down to the contest, which was right at the end of my trip. It was such an epic event and it was sick surfing against those guys. We were trading barrels all day and there was a priority system so there was no hassling, every heat just felt like the best free surf ever. I couldn't stop smiling all day it was so fun!
It's on when it's on. When the call was of a decent swell and the possibility it was going to be "on", how were you feeling?
Yeah there was no real sign of the comp running for ages so by the time that swell actually arrived I was just super amped. I had only free surfed out at Padang a couple of times so I wasn't that familiar with the wave but I just wanted to try and make some heats. I realised the only way to do that was to just go out there and pull into perfect barrels, which is pretty much a dream situation.
You took down some pretty big names on your way to the semis. It must have been an epic feeling being in the water with these guys, let alone beating them
Yeah a couple of the guys that I surfed against were at the top of the idol list when I was a grom. So yeah I was super stoked to beat a couple of them. But it was sick just being out there surfing perfect waves with those guys, they we're all really nice and no one was too cool to say hello or anything which I liked.
How was the vibe on the beach? Must have been pretty surreal heading out for your heats, getting interviewed for the webcast etc. That doesn't happen much in Tairua aye?
Haha yeah the vibe was crazy down there. The beach was absolutely packed and most of the people down there were amazing looking girls so it was pretty hard to concentrate. It felt weird putting on a rashy and having hundreds of people looking at you as you walked down to catch the ski out the back. Usually there's like 20 people watching a N.Z surf contest and most of them are the competitors mums. I was stoked that they streamed the contest live and everyone back home got to watch it.
What boards were you riding?
I was riding a 5'11 x 18 1/2 x 2 1/4 Slayer in the contest and anytime the waves were pretty solid and barreling. The other board that I rode pretty much everyday was a 5'10 x 18 3/4 x 2 1/4 Kerrosover which is such a fun all round short board.
How was the after party? Bet those Bin Tangs tasted pretty good.
Yeah the after party was a classic night. I was staying with one of my buddies from home so we just got stuck into the Binnies after my Semi-Final. It was cool hanging on the beach watching the final and Rippy put on free beers for the competitors so I got my quota's worth and then just carried that form on to the party at Single Fin!

The Hutchinson Center is pursuing new tests and techniques that could revolutionize how we prevent, detect and treat lung cancer.
Hutchinson Center researchers are developing innovative ways to prevent smoking and lung cancer:
Linking exercise and lung cancer risk – Hutchinson Center researchers have found that heavy smokers may reduce their cancer risk by increasing their exercise. Learn more »
Reducing teen smoking – Our researchers demonstrated that it's possible to use telephone counseling and other innovative measures to help adolescent smokers give up the habit. Learn more »
Using schools to study smoking – Our researchers led the 15-year Hutchinson Smoking Prevention Project, a school-based smoking prevention effort that touched 8,400 students and 600 teachers. The project found strong links between smoking in parents and their children. It also found that parents who quit smoking before their child reaches third grade will significantly reduce the child's odds of smoking. Learn more »
The Hutchinson Center's lung cancer experts are taking key step towards blood tests that detect lung cancer in its earliest stages:
Finding proteins that indicate lung cancer - Fred Hutch researchers led a team that discovered proteins in the blood associated with early lung cancer development. The advance brings us closer to a blood test to detect lung cancer. Learn more »
Detecting lung cancer in non-smokers - Fred Hutch researchers are leading an effort to discover early indicators of lung cancer in people who have never smoked. The studies are designed to improve understanding of lung cancer's biology and to develop a test to detect early-stage lung cancer. This work is important because global estimates suggest that as many as 25 percent of all lung cancers worldwide—15 percent of those in men and 50 percent of those in women—are not attributable to smoking. Learn more »
Developing innovative surgical approaches - Dr. Michael Mulligan and his colleagues at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, the Hutchinson Center's treatment arm, have developed a minimally invasive technique known as video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Well suited for removing early stage lung cancer, the procedure works by inserting a tiny camera through a millimeters-long incision. This allows the surgeon to see inside a patient's chest and operate without the same impact to surrounding tissue that a traditional, open-chest procedure requires. Learn more »

Will Politics Settle Abortion?
Topics: Church Issues, Health & Science, Life Issues, Marriage & Family, Politics & Government, Religion & Society, Theology
"The better answer," he said, "is to figure out, how do we make sure the young mothers, or women who have a pregnancy that's unexpected or difficult, have the kind of support they need to make a whole range of choices, including adoption and keeping the child." Did we end slavery by addressing the root economic forces that "forced" slaveholders to purchase and work the slaves that they "needed"?
1 Timothy 1:8We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9We also know that law[a] is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11that conforms to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me. Romans 13:4For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. As we see, one of the uses of the law is to inform people the difference between right and wrong. When the federal supreme court unlawfully decriminalized abortion, the rate of abortions increased something like ten to fifteen-fold. Making it illegal in the sight of the uncatechized public will save millions of lives, and souls as well. So, it is indeed true that we must indeed work to convert souls to Christ, nonetheless we may not neglect making the brutal drawing and quartering of babies illegal once again. (and to think that they call our -troops- baby-killers).
Great responses. My concern is still those numbers. Each one is a child. And they're gone. Is it better to be correct and have the right political stance while the numbers don't change? Or is the goal to reduce and eliminate abortion on more than just paper (establishing illegality), but actually on the ground? Really, I ask because it's disheartening to read about one party, the one associated w/ pro-life policies, being in power the whole duration of Roe's reign, and the abortion numbers holding steady. I really don't know. Should we just keep up w/ the status quo when it hasn't really been effective? Jason's point has stuck in my mind about this, yes. But still those numbers. The Church has to lead here, providing the alternatives -- not alternatives, but true liberation. It's about more than abortion, but everything that leads up to one. It's daunting but, I believe, doable. Maybe I'm overly cynical, but I just no longer have a lot of stock in government to do anything of real significance on this issue.
Most of the "answers" Obama and those like him are advocating simply create a larger pool of single mothers heavily dependent on the government and drive the already pronounced wedge between men and women in still further. In addition, money and indifferent professionals (akin to those who run state foster child programs) will do nothing about the emotional and psychological burdens of parenting alone. As the Palin family illustrates, Kids need two parents and a healthy extended family. Abortion will be eliminated by the same approach that slavery and segregation were eliminated. Evil is created and driven by evil people. We must expose the evil people who're hiding behind these women in difficult situations. That isn't impossible. Two of the primary arguments for segregation were raped white women and choice. Abortion proponents simply crossed off the white and adopted the same two arguments. They even found their friendliest reception in the party of slavery and segregation, the Democratic party. And never forget that Democrats as "liberal" as LBJ and Gore's father were staunch champions of segregation and depriving blacks of voting rights until that stance became impossible to defend. They weren't morally persuaded. They simply lost and pretended they were never on the evil side. I like to tell people that the ultimate end of the abortion debate will come when Democrats are demanding that every woman of reproductive age be tested for pregnancy at least once a month. It's a rough parallel to their shifted stance on segregation. They were defeated by pushing segregation proponents to expose their ugly side, as we are now seeing with feminist attacks on Palin, and by exposing the harmful side effects of segregation. The latter, in the form of some clumsy sociology about schools, was what gave us Brown v. Board of Education and school integration. The real questions include: 1. "Are Evangelicals capable of doing what God wants us to do?" We grossly distort Jesus' warning about not added new (petty, legalistic) judgments to those God already applies to the point where many believers are too addled-brained to called anything sin, repeating the out-of-context mantra, "Judge not that you be not judged." Abortions and abortion proponents will be judged and judge harshly by God. If we don't warn them in clear and uncertain terms, we'll also share in their judgement. 2. Can Evangelicals also get over their belief that everything they do and say has to have a proof-texted verse to support it? Preachers spend three years learning to do almost nothing but that and that crippled POV affects the people in the pew. That in turn leaves us utterly powerless to deal with any issue that wasn't an issue in biblical times (say child porn v. censorship) and deprives us of any technique that wasn't available then. If we applied that same principle to our health care, many of us would die of problems as simple as an infected toe. What's the worst event that's followed the Palin nomination? Many would disagree, but perhaps it's Rick Warren's attempt to jump in and claim credit for advising Palin on topics she's likely to understand better than he. We need a church that's more like a round table and less like a pulpit towering above pews. In short, Evangelicalism is failing because it punches well below its weight, accomplishing almost nothing outside the voting booth. If social issues were boxing, it would be a 6' 8", 260 pound guy in his twenties who can't outbox a skinny third-grade girl clutching a "Hello Kitty" purse. We need to get out of our pews, put our brains to work and start serving God with all our talents. If that means putting aside a few Evangelical heresies about 'judge not' then so be it. You can make a start by reading C. S. Forester's The Good Shepherd. It's perhaps the best exposition of Jesus' remark, "I am the Good Shepherd" in print. He applies it to the captain of a WWII destroyer tasked with protecting a convoy of ships from a Nazi wolf pack during the darkest days of WWII. It's far closer to what Jesus meant than the platitudes about little lambs you might have heard in Sunday School. Being a Good Shepherd means risking death or in today's context, slander without flenching. Being a Good Shepherd means making decisions in often grey circumstances rather than avoiding any potential for failure by cowering safely in our sheepfold-like churches. (Are megachurches simply providing us with a bigger herd to hide in?) And finally, being a Good Shepherd means destroying those who do evil, much as Jesus did with his opponents. Cooly, coldly, systematically destroying their credibility and their ability to do evil to others. That's what Jesus did. That's what we should do. And their very hatred demonstrates that we're on the right track. --Michael W. Perry, Seattle
I don't think politics will "settle" abortion. The point is not that outlawing it will eliminate it. The point is that the protection of the physical safety of innocent individuals is one of the most important parts of the law and denying people that is disgracing the law. What the law is on record as saying is sometimes almost as important as what it actually does.
More concerning to me is actions that hinder operations rather than take away benefits -- actions like that of NY's Spitzer against CPCs some years ago, those "investigations" or whatever he started to smear them. But still, that fact begs the question as to what Obama feels would be giving mothers the "support they need."
Good question about the CPCs. I Googled a little and found that his campaign had indicated on a questionnaire that he did not support continuing federal funding to such centers. They didn't go into detail as to why. (It's the eleventh question and answer.) http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/blog/2007/12/21/sen-barack-obamas-reproductive-health-questionnaire
Just a P.S.: I disagree that Roe is "settled law." And with Obama's statement about making sure mothers have the "support they need," I hope someone asks, and he answers clearly and directly, whether he would support, or at least not hinder, CPCs and their valuable work in giving young mothers the "support they need."

SEC Power Poll Ballot
1. Georgia - A big offensive performance against a lousy defense. They still look like they are daydreaming at times because in the first two games, they can. That nasty schedule starts Saturday in Columbia.
2. Florida - I was going to put them at three, but that last second field goal moved them up to number two. Why can't that team run the ball? Any time they score under 30, there should be an investigation into misappropriation of talent.
3. LSU - The temporarily homeless Tigers have another scrimmage to play before heading to Auburn. See you then, Tigers.
4. Auburn - Auburn still hasn't given up a point. They no doubt have offensive problems, but their defense will keep them in every game. Tony Franklin better get the offense figured out before LSU arrives. Mississippi State should provide a better gauge for that offense. So far, no one's happy with it.
5. Alabama - After the Tulane game, I'm leaning to the "Clemson was that bad" side of the Alabama debate. Their offense should have been able to grind out 21 against Tulane, but they had to rely on the specialty teams instead. The Tide should roll until they get to Athens on the 27th.
6. Ole Miss - Played a great game against what appears to be the ACC's best, but lost. Snead had a brilliant play to take the lead, but Wake engineered a methodical drive to win it. They have talent enough to legitimately threaten the western powers.
7. Vanderbilt - Vandy gets its biggest win in Nashville since 1992 by beating the Cocks. Enjoy the seven spot while you can.
8. Tennessee - The Vols can redeem themselves against Florida, but they have to function better on offense. I still think teams can outscore UF, but they have to do it with power running and deep passing. Tennessee, in the past, has been that type of team. Clawson, can you hear me?
9. Kentucky - I know nothing about UK and I won't for several weeks. The 'Cats should be 4-0 heading to Tuscaloosa when October rolls around.
10. South Carolina - The Cocks have to deal with the shame of a loss in Nashville while prepping for the Dawgs. This game is always a big fistfight, but without Kenny McKinley, is Carolina going to have any punching power?
11. Mississippi State - Beat Southeast Louisiana, which makes them 1-1 against the minor Louisiana football programs this year.
12. Arkansas - They are a mobile home in Kansas during a tornado warning. Everyone should take the wedding photos and seek alternate shelter. Be very frightened Hawg fan. Your last win may have come Saturday.

Ole Miss is still without their two best players in Hardy (DE) and Jerry (DT). Hardy, when healthy is one of the 3 best players in the SEC. They will be scary in the West.

A little about KY: they have a lot of speed on defense and like to hit. The D alone outscored Lou's offense (one of the highest scoring offenses last year) 14-0. Wont be as much a pushover as people thought, they are young at qb but still have 2 good backs in Locke and Dixon as well as Dicky Lyons.

Auburn still hasn't given up a point? Who gave up the 13 that USM scored in the Auburn-USM game?

As the ladies and gentlemen who are the bonus babies at AIG may well discover, those who stand between politicians and re-election — be they individuals or principles — are certain to be trampled.
Such was the case in the lead-up to the 2006 elections when Congress stampeded a 25-year extension of "emergency" provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which were to expire in 2007. Not the Voting Rights Act itself, mind you; The "temporary" provisions put in place 41 years earlier.
Under Section 5, Alaska, Arizona, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and all but 11 counties in Virginia are required to get U.S. Justice Department approval for proposed changes in election law.
In a case now before the U.S. Supreme Court, a Texas utility district with no history of discrimination that was first created in 1987 sued to challenge the extension and whether its election laws should be subject to Justice Department oversight. The case will be argued next month. The extension of Section 5 oversight came not because anything discriminatory in the covered states warranted it, but because no politician in one of the states not covered dared risk alienating any constituency.
It's the occasional embarrassment of democracy that, as we are witnessing with the AIG bonuses, politics trumps the Constitution, fairness and common sense. That applies equally to Republicans and Democrats, including President George W. Bush, who signed the 25-year extension.
Gov. Sonny Perdue has joined the Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District Number One in an important test of whether Congress acted without "adequate basis" in extending preclearance requirements.
"Today's Georgia is not, as Congress suggests, a place where the state or local governments sponsor racial discrimination in the electoral process that must be curbed by the federal government," argues the brief prepared by Anne Lewis of Atlanta's Strickland Brockington Lewis law firm. Lewis, one of Atlanta Magazine's super lawyers for 2009, was widely praised for her work in defending Georgia's Voter ID law.
Her arguments on Perdue's behalf are that the 25-year renewal "is not rationally related to the alleged ill Congress seeks to cure: perceived racial discrimination in the electoral process" and was therefore unconstitutional. Congress, ignoring the changed world, relied on data from 1964 in extending Section 5 and "left in place the first coverage formula ever used." At the end of the 25 years, that data will be almost 70 years old.
Once covered, always covered, she argues. Technically, covered states and districts can gain release. But that's a ruse, since Georgia would be responsible for any offense committed by any form of government at any level.
"Georgia has nearly 900 governmental jurisdictions: 531 cities, and 183 school districts," Lewis notes. "In addition, Georgia has more than 570 'special districts' of one type or another … Unlike many states, no Georgia jurisdictions are under the control of any other entity." Each functions independently.
In 2006, a five-person voter-registration board in Randolph County gave a voter-registration card to a school board member in the district where he'd moved. The Department of Justice objected, and required Randolph to keep him in the district where he formerly lived so he could run for re-election there. It was a questionable decision involving a county that "consists of 0.0782 percent of the entire population of Georgia," and yet the entire state is deemed responsible — and precluded from gaining freedom from Section 5 for another seven years.
To get relief, too, the state would have to review tens of thousands of laws, rules and regulations over 44 years for more than 1,400 jurisdictions that don't report to the state. "That requirement is, for a covered state like Georgia, a logistical impossibility," Lewis writes in the brief.
Democracy does require all three branches of government. On rare occasion, the legislative and the executive branch are willing to trample through the Constitution to save their own political skin. That may be punishing nine states. It may be levying confiscatory taxes on the bonuses of the unpopular.

Well, I'm all for overturning these laws that discrimanate against Southren states. We'll never get our two Congress seats back if we ain't allowed to draw up the districts so they got more White voters than Those People. This kind of stuff is the reason I switched from Southren Democrat to Republican. Not that the racial stuff had anything to do with it. But it's States Rights that are getting trampled. It ain't enough for me to make them pull out a picture ID at the polls.
What I want to know is, what's wrong with making a voter prove he can read or write before voting or maybe pass a IQ test? And why can't a state add on a poll tax? Or maybe make a voter prove he owns property in the state if he wants to vote. How come we got to go to Washington every time we want to pass a law to make it a little tougher to vote or scare off a few people? This is America, not some commie country that will let just anyone vote.
No, the libruls got to bring up old news like lynching and keeping Those People seperet in bathrooms and restaurants and such. Not to mention the Klan. Well, this is the 21st century. We got much more advanced ways of handling such things now. We got redistricting and all kinds of things we can use. If the federal guvmint will just let us use them.
That's my opinion and it's very true. Have a good day everybody.

The Voting Rights Act still protects voters in Georgia. The first time the Voter ID law passed in Georgia, it was held to scrutiny in Federal Court under the Voting Rights Act and the Constitution. And the Federal Court determined that it was unconstitutional because, as first drafted, it was equivalent to a poll tax and failed to provide sufficient notification of new voter ID requirements. It would have illegally prevented people from voting. The Georgia Legislature was then forced to revise its statute, making a free voter ID for those unable to afford it and implementing a better system for notifying voters of the change in the law and the new requirements for ID. Had not checks like the Voting Rights Act been in place, Georgia would have been able to illegally deprive people of their right to vote.

The Constitution? Is that thing still around? Is it truly still relevant? I thought Cheney and Bush showed us all how to navigate around it at will, e.g., invasion of the formerly-sovereign Iraq, human rights abuses at Guantanamo Bay, all those crazy presidential signing statements, domestic eavesdropping, etc. What short-term memories some folks have!

I think Georgia should suceed from the union and cut taxes, invite every company from overseas back to our state and just enjoy life without huge government. People that dont want to work for a living can move to another state that allows for welfare. There will be no welfare here in georgia as plenty of jobs would be here and plenty of tax money collected to pay for a small but efficient government and military. See ya Obama lolololol.

There is no constitutional right to vote unless a state chooses popular vote as its mechanism for deciding elections (or casting its electoral votes for president). If popular vote is the mechanism, then a person's right to vote in state and federal elections as a citizen of the United States is protected by due process and equal protection applicable to the states through the 14th Amendment.
Are you suggesting that the Georgia government should choose another method of election? Do you want the Georgia Legislature to vote for president instead of you? And how would you like for the Georgia politicians to be elected? Appointment? Inheritance?

Speaking of constitutional, Treasury Secretary Geithner asked congress today to give power to the Treasury to take over any private business it feels may be failing, if the treasury determines that business to have impact on the economy. This is the first step to government owning all business. Interestingly, he was asked if the government had been given this power months ago and had exercised it with AIG, would those bonuses have been paid out, and he replied if AIG was in receivership with the government, absolutely not. He makes this statement while millions of dollars of bonuses were paid last week at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, both of whom are in receivership with the government.
Folks, the Obama administration is working toward a socialist society and totalitarian government. 1984 is arriving finally, just 30 years later than expected by George Orwell.

Hey Jim can you tell us who the morons in the Georgia House that allowed this to happen, and voted against making pickup truck drivers from having to wear seat belts ?
Here is the story in today's AJC……..
House committee rejects seat belt changes
Associated Press
Tuesday, March 24, 2009
A key House panel has dealt a devastating blow to efforts to require adults in pickup trucks to buckle their seat belts.
The House Consumer Affairs subcommittee voted 4-3 against the measure. It was the first time in at least three years a House panel has considered the issue. Supporters immediately moved to reconsider the measure on another day.
Georgia is the only state in the nation that exempts adults in pickups from wearing seat belts. The stance has cost the state millions of dollars in federal highway funds.
The Senate approved the seat belt changes for the last three years. House lawmakers, worried it could negatively affect rural residents, have made sure the changes are killed each year.
HA HA HA……….. someone Please tell me how asking a rural citizen in a Pick up Truck, is negatively effected by putting on a seat belt ?
Sounds really stupid to me……but hey we are almost last in education in Georgia……..must be all that Right Wing Politics that happens in rural Georgia !

There is a litany of topics the so-called conservatives use to bring attention to their notion of illegal activity on the part of the Federal government.
In this case, they can not produce ONE verified case of prosecuted voter fraud, yet, this problem is so monumental it threatens the foundation of our democracy.
When is the last time you have seen a current topic and the relative debate of such topics as Iraq, the economy, the confessed war crimes of the principals of the previous administration, the financial meltdown, the mortgage crisis, and on and on and on?

Good afternoon, Jim.
Sorry that I do not have the time to appear on this blog more often, but, alas, someone has to keep the Bush Recession/Obama Depression economy chugging along.
I have often thought that one of the best things that could happen to our elected representatives and senators would be for them to be required to take a 32 hour course on the Constitution of the United States!
Oh…wait…my bad, as the younger folks say today,…they (the representatives and senators) would have to learn how to "read" first! Bad idea.

Peter, good question! I think the answer has something to do with the the S-10 and F-150 replacing the Turnip Wagon in rural areas of our state. If there are only three seatbelts in the front seat of the truck, how do you cram six onion pickers in it and still comply with the law? Many Georgians don't have the money to spend on safety, and the State House is willing to forego those evil federal funds to keep it that way.

Well, I like to fell off of my seat when I heard the GA House voted down this law that would make pickup truck drivers buckle up. After all the beatings us rednecks took at the polls it's about time something good happened.
It ain't nobody's business if I don't buckle up. All that could happen if I got into a axident is I would go thru the windshield and they would have to sew me back together to have a proper funeral. A little thread and some makeup and I would look good as new. We have a Constitutional Right to get kilt if we want to.
Have a good day everybody.

Well you know, libtards are destroying the Constitution and taking away our rights one by one, and the irony is that they claimed that BUSH was doing just that! (Which he of course was not). Now The Teleprompter Administration wants to use the US Treasury for taking over corporations OTHER than banks. Are we reading the writing on the wall yet folks? Where the hell does it state that the Treasury can take over PRIVATE COMPANIES??? Deafening silence from the stupid mindless left.
You want more mindlessness from the feel good fascist left? How about the EPA standards for when one of those Algore-approved fluorescent light bulb breaks? Get a load of this government BS:
Before Clean-up: Air Out the Room
* Have people and pets leave the room, and don't let anyone walk through the breakage area on their way out.
* Open a window and leave the room for 15 minutes or more.
* Shut off the central forced-air heating/air conditioning system, if you have one.
Clean-Up Steps for Hard Surfaces
* Carefully scoop up glass pieces and powder using stiff paper or cardboard and place them in a glass jar with metal lid (such as a canning jar) or in a sealed plastic bag.
* Use sticky tape, such as duct tape, to pick up any remaining small glass fragments and powder.
* Wipe the area clean with damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes. Place towels in the glass jar or plastic bag.
* Do not use a vacuum or broom to clean up the broken bulb on hard surfaces.
Clean-up Steps for Carpeting or Rug
* Carefully pick up glass fragments and place them in a glass jar with metal lid (such as a canning jar) or in a sealed plastic bag.
* Use sticky tape, such as duct tape, to pick up any remaining small glass fragments and powder.
* If vacuuming is needed after all visible materials are removed, vacuum the area where the bulb was broken.
* Remove the vacuum bag (or empty and wipe the canister), and put the bag or vacuum debris in a sealed plastic bag.
Clean-up Steps for Clothing, Bedding and Other Soft Materials
* If clothing or bedding materials come in direct contact with broken glass or mercury-containing powder from inside the bulb that may stick to the fabric, the clothing or bedding should be thrown away. Do not wash such clothing or bedding because mercury fragments in the clothing may contaminate the machine and/or pollute sewage.
* You can, however, wash clothing or other materials that have been exposed to the mercury vapor from a broken CFL, such as the clothing you are wearing when you cleaned up the broken CFL, as long as that clothing has not come into direct contact with the materials from the broken bulb.
* If shoes come into direct contact with broken glass or mercury-containing powder from the bulb, wipe them off with damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes. Place the towels or wipes in a glass jar or plastic bag for disposal.
Disposal of Clean-up Materials
* Immediately place all clean-up materials outdoors in a trash container or protected area for the next normal trash pickup.
* Wash your hands after disposing of the jars or plastic bags containing clean-up materials.
* Check with your local or state government about disposal requirements in your specific area. Some states do not allow such trash disposal. Instead, they require that broken and unbroken mercury-containing bulbs be taken to a local recycling center.
Future Cleaning of Carpeting or Rug: Air Out the Room During and After Vacuuming
* The next several times you vacuum, shut off the central forced-air heating/air conditioning system and open a window before vacuuming.
* Keep the central heating/air conditioning system shut off and the window open for at least 15 minutes after vacuuming is completed.
Idiots! They spent 30 years telling us how bad mercury was, and now they are putting in back in new "green" light bulbs. No, you cannot make up the insanity of liberalism like this. Do you want to follow these mindless, TRULY MINDLESS hysterics on the left off the cliff? Keep voting for them then. Stupid is as stupid does.

I'me with Glenn: Where is Ragnar? I miss his learned explanations.
Wooten is so good with his writing, so true to facts and politics, I take what he says quite seriously. Am I getting the correct interpretation here?
Politicians, in a long outdated effort to offset what they perceive as discrimination, are trying to continue something legal against Southern states and AK & AZ. The fact that there is little discrimination in these states escapes these over zealous vigilantes. They continue an outdated vengence where there is no "cause" for such tactics. But… such actions cause great state expense and time without necessity.
Thus Jim explains that the Federal Executive and Legislative branches of our government (where these "rules" originate) are trampling the Constitution for political reasons(alienating voters), not for valid reasons.
I think I got that right. Less Big government control brings better states rights.
PS..I think RedNeck Convert is from Chicago. Most Southerners would adopt a dog from the pound before they'd befriend a mutt like RedNeck.

Atlanta, GA: John Monds will be announcing his intention to seek the Libertarian Party of Georgia's nomination for Governor with a press conference at the Capitol in Atlanta with family, close friends and supporters by his side Wednesday, March 25th at 4:00pm.
During his campaign for Public Service Commission (District 1) in 2008, Monds became the first Libertarian to break one million votes in the United States.
Monds and the Libertarian Party believe Georgians are ready for something new and different. "It's difficult to tell the difference between Republicans and Democrats; both want to raise your taxes, waste your money and increase the size and scope of state government," said Monds.
"We must be competitive in the 21st Century. We must have meaningful tax reform that allows businesses and individuals to thrive, a transportation system that eases congestion without raising taxes, an education system that gives more choices and returns control to the local level, and we need to stop wasting the taxpayers' money with mandated long term incarceration of individuals for non-violent victimless infractions of the law"
John Monds, 43, is a graduate of Morehouse College with a degree in Banking and Finance, President of the Grady County NAACP and currently serves on the Grady County Planning Commission.
He resides in Cairo with his wife, Dr. Kathaleena Edward Monds, and four children, Akintunde, Cazembe, Halima and Malik.

Why would anyone stick their kids with names like Akintunde, Cazembe, Halima and Malik? There have been studies done that show names such as those hold people back in the professional world. He should have stuck with the tried and true John and Kathleena.

There's a Cairo, Georgia. It's west of Valdosta and north of Talahassee. Not well known in your home state of California. Not too well known in Georgia either.
I suspect the children's names are from African ancestry. They will probably end up with Akie, Caz, Hal and Mal. Everything is condensed these days.
March 24th, 2009
6:03 pm
You're probably right. I can go with everything but Akie if pronounced Aach-ee. That would be "retch"ed.
Ah-kee would be O.K.
My daughter's name is unique in that it's one usually given to males. When I was contemplating what to name her, I looked at last names as firsts. Her name is a very common last name as is her middle name. Fits her to a "t", tea or tee?

The greek acronym for Christ is ICXC, or 9990 in roman numerals as they would appear if you just wrote it out as it stands. C is 100. I is one. So IC is one subtracted from 100 or 99. Then XC is ten subtracted from 100 or 90.
9990 is how they appear as an acronym translated into roman numerals.

Yes, fellow Americans its true. The democrats STILL practice slavery, although it has changed. The democrats buy votes in the form of "Those EVIL Republicans are gonna take away your welfare, make you get a JOB, and pay taxes like everyone else!", play "master" by penalizing those that ARE attempting to find work, and keep the "entitlement challenged" on modern day plantations called "public housing".
When are liberals going to LEARN, that the only person that keeps a person down…is THEMSELVES. What ever happened to the "WORK ETHIC" in this country, when a person looked forward to getting up in the morning and giving their employer 100% for an honest day's pay?
I'm reminded of the adage, "The easiest way to get back on your feet is to get off your butt!" Too bad many feel its the government's responsibility to take care of them, rather than taking the responsibility for their own actions or lack of actions.
This great country is STILL the land of opportunity, witness those that STILL risk their lives to attempt to come here, legally or illegally. But you have to WORK for that opportunity and quit relying upon the government to provide it for you, at the cost of those who are being PRODUCTIVE citizens.

The underlying premise of Jim's article is that the Voting Rights Protections are no longer needed in the South since racial discrimination is a thing of the past. Lets examine that concept.
Obama lost the State of Alabama by 62% of the vote-in a "change" election. The Southeastern Conference also has no black head football coaches. Is Jim suggesting that race is not a factor in these cases?
The national unemployment rate is at 8%, the National Debt has doubled in the past 8 years, and the only issue concerning Jim is the fact that the law was renewed affording voting protections to groups that have been without question discriminated against in the past. Singling out this extension issue, and it is an obscure issue in a practical sense, only reinforces the fact that race IS still an issue in the nation.

We want to hear from GRTA Xpress bus riders to give us their thoughts on the public transportation service. What's been your experience? How valuable is their service to your commute? What can be done to improve it? How would it impact you if it's discontinued?
Please send your opinion and contact information to Tom Sabulis, Opinion Page Editor, at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 404-526-5453.
Thank you.

Every version has tried to do something, if not new, at least different; or in the worst case, something bigger. Not for the sake of being big. For the sake of variety. Someone once said "just to see the guns and point and click them at different pictures". Well, we love to have a ton of pictures to shoot at. Whether it is just adding new weapons, monsters or adding dynamic lights to almost every projectile, or adding new effects, or adding damage types and damage resistance to all monsters, each version has tried something new in the AEoD's book. And the 6th version of AEoD is no exception.
