POTTSTOWN Ś With a 4-0 vote, the borough planning commission Thursday night gave unanimous approval to a plan to redevelop the former RosenberryÆs Grocery store at the corner of Eighth Street and Farmington Avenue into a Family Dollar Store.
Planning commission member Deb Penrod was absent and did not vote.
The approved plan calls for demolishing the 23,299-square-foot building that stands at the 1.7-acre site now, and was most recently occupied by McCabeÆs Auto Supply. The building is now empty.
In its place, the company has proposed an 8,240-square-foot Family Dollar store which would be ōmuch smaller and much closer to being in conformity with the zoning,ö said lawyer John Ryan, who spoke on behalf of the developer.
On Aug. 29, the zoning hearing board approved the request from the Boos Development Group for larger signs than the boroughÆs zoning code allows.
Planning commission member Andrew Kefer said he had heard concerns from some the projectÆs potential impact on safety for the many children who cross at the intersection to get to Lincoln Elementary School and in the other direction toward the middle and high schools.
ōAs a school board member IÆm concerned about that too. That intersection has been designated as part of a æsafe route to school,Æ and Eighth Street is one of our primary walking routesö Kefer said.
Dan Moyer, engineer for the project, said the plan calls for new sidewalks, handicapped access ramps and an ōupgrade to the crosswalks.ö
He also said the developers agreed to ōpull the building backö further from the street in order to improve sight distance.
Three speakers from the audience addressed the planning commission before the vote, expressing concerns about traffic and the Dollar StoreÆs reputation and clientele.
North Hanover Street resident Dianne Krumm said a recent traffic count done on her street just down the street from the site showed that between Lincoln Avenue and Fourth Street approximately 5,000 to 7,000 cars per day travel along that route.
ōIÆm also concerned about the people coming into your place,ö Krumm said. ōAnother Family Dollar got robbed up in Reading the other day and I am concerned about crime. The people I see outside your stores are not people in suits and stuff like that.ö
Robert Snyder of North Adams Street, asked ōwhy do we need another dollar store? We already have plenty around town.ö
Snyder added ōFamily Dollar has a bad reputation for attracting blight, crime and vandalism and thatÆs not what Pottstown needs.ö
Also, said Snyder, the company lost a lawsuit brought by store managers who were denied overtime pay, which a U.S. Circuit Court ruled was in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The judgement, which the U.S. Supreme Court refused to over-turn, cost the company $35 million in back-pay.
ōWe need companies that will bring middle class jobs,ö Synder said.
At this point, Ryan objected, saying ōI donÆt see how these allegations that Family Dollar is somehow evil have any bearing on the matter before the commission.ö
But Planning Commission Chairman Dan Weand and Borough Solicitor Charles D. Garner Jr. rebuffed Ryan.
ōThis is public comment at a public meeting and our residents are welcome to speak their minds, be it fact or opinion,ö Weand said.
Maureen Piranio of Willow Street said she too is very worried about traffic, calling the intersections of Farmington Avenue and Eighth, North Hanover and Oak streets a ōvery challenging traffic pattern.ö
The site plan calls for a single access point to the site near the southernmost point along Farmington Avenue and it will no longer ōshare a drivewayö with the beer and soda distributor next door.
Because Farmington Avenue is a state road, the developers also need a permit from PennDOT and it will likely include some sort of traffic analysis of the plan, said planning commission member Steve Toroney.
The three speakers are not the only opponents.
Activist Katy Jackson told The Mercury Thursday that she has gathered ōmore than 150 signaturesö of people opposed to the Family Dollar store being approved and plans to submit the petition to borough council.
Borough council has the final decision in approving the site plan for the project and the vote from the planning commission Thursday is only a formal recommendation.
ōThe planning commission has very little discretion in this matter,ö Weand said. ōWe canÆt approve or deny projects based on ælikeÆ or ædonÆt like.Æ We have to look at whether a project meets the rules and ordinances of the borough.ö
He added, ōand what IÆm seeing with this project is a developer who is not asking for concessions from the taxpayers, and who has been cooperative about working with us in the placement and appearance of the building and it fits in with the boroughÆs comprehensive plan.ö
The earliest borough council would be likely to vote on the matter is at the Tuesday, Oct. 8 public meeting.
Two of the votes on council are Weand and Toroney, who also serve on the planning commission and who have already cast at least one vote in favor of it.

I LOVE your blog and all of your ideas are fabulous! I am new to teaching first grade this year so I am taking one day at a time. I am learning something new everyday and I feel like I am always trying to find different ways to assess my students. I would love a copy of your assessments, and any other information you could help me out with! :) email@example.com
WOW! I am absolutely AMAZED by what you have done. This is my first year in first grade after many years ago in the current district I am in. EVERYTHING is changing where I am and to see someone who has done this work is fantastic. I can't get over the creativity. I would ABSOLUTELY love a copy of your assessments. WE are so frustrated in our district becuase it seems as if we are being told to reinvent the wheel. I can't begin to tell you how much money has been spent on things and then we are told we can not use it. I am to the point of frustration and don't know where else to turn. Your blog is AWESOME! You are truly a breath of fresh air to a frustrated teacher. Thanks. firstname.lastname@example.com
How do you ever find the time to make such cute and wonderful things?! I can barely find the time in the morning to brush my hair! hehe. I'd love to win the 1st grade packet:)ReplyDelete
Our district is heading towards common core and we are in the process of creating our own assessments. It would awesome if we won your 2nd grade math assessments! Thanks for your work.ReplyDelete

I dated a Candy in my youth in Modesto California. She claimed, and I believed her, that the song was written specifically for her by a musician whom she befriended when she had a cast on her broken leg and had to sit on the bandstand rather than dance. This musisican according to her was going thru a divorce and after writing the song he sold it for $50.00, supposedly to Dick Haymes.

Not your usual maternity wear: Kim Kardashian covers up her bump in sexy black mac while wearing over-the-knee boots
She wouldn't be a Kardashian if she opted to wear the usual image of dressed down maternity wear.
And it seems pregnant reality star Kim Kardashian has no plans to tone down her sexy style just yet.
The 32-year-old is still stepping out in an array of figure hugging dresses before her bump gets too big.
And on Tuesday she vamped up her look with some over-the-knee boots.
Scroll down for video
These boots are made for walking: Kim Kardashian covers up her bump with a sexy black mac while vamping up her look with over-the-knee boots
She arrived back at her hotel in New York after a busy day with her sister Kourtney sporting the stand out footwear.
Keeping up with her fashionable, smart style she completed the ensemble with a black mac over skintight jeans.
Carrying her black leather bag, Kim smouldered as she wore her dark locks down and poker straight with lashings of red lipstick on her famous pout.
All dressed up: Kim wrapped up in the mac as she continues to keep up with her style
Looking coiffed to perfection, she finally called it a night after stepping out of her yellow taxi and headed inside her hotel.
Earlier in the day Kim had made time to celebrate her friend Rachel Roy's birthday by heading out for a spot of lunch in the Big Apple.
She posted a picture on Twitter of her in the same get-up posing next to the birthday girl, while sister Kourtney and Victoria Silvstedt were also in tow posing for the image.
Smouldering: The reality TV star, who is pregnant with her first child, walked into her New York hotel showing off her style after enjoying her day in the Big Apple
Birthday lunch: earlier in the day she had headed out to celebrate friend Rachel Ray's birthday with her sister Kourtney in tow
Matching style: Kim slipped into
jeans and knee-high boots, which she paired with lashings of red
lipstick, while Victoria Silvstedt also wore over-the-knee boots for the lunch date
On the go: Kim appeared to be in a hurry as she hopped into a cab after being unable to find her car and driver
Kardashian wrote: 'Happy birthday to my beautiful, smart, best advice giver, secret keeper, best girlfriend ever.... @Rachel_Roy !!!! Cant wait to celebrate!'
Her outing comes as she revealed that her unplanned pregnancy was 'a miracle' - as she has secretly battled fertility issues.
'It's kind of a miracle that I even got pregnant,' she told Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda on the Today show on Tuesday.
All in yellow: Kim Kardashian shows off her pregnancy curves in a clinging floral dress as she arrives to film Live With Kelly And Michael in New York on Tuesday morning
Fashion forward: She might be expecting, but Kim is as in trend as ever in her peplum dress with side cut outs and nude court shoes
She had earlier explained on the Today Show: 'Khloe has been very open about her fertility issues and I think I was always really kind of quiet about mine, and I have similar issues.'
Kim's younger sister Khloe has openly talked about her distress following her failure to conceive during three years of marriage, with initial tests revealing she was not ovulating.
Meanwhile Kim has been dating her boyfriend Kanye West for nine months and is expecting their baby in July.
Showing their curves: The pair pose together backstage
Kim explained of her pregnancy: 'It was a pleasant surprise when so many doctors were telling me one thing and then the opposite happens.'
The 32-year-old said she found it hard to believe she was really going to be a mother.
'I think until I really start seeing, like, a belly, it won't really sink in. It's just like a weird realisation until you really start seeing the physical changes, um, and every day's different.'
Sister act: Kim was joined by Kourtney at the interview
Mug shot: Kim and Kourtney pose with Kelly and Michael
However their is one thing disrupting KIm's perfect life - her failed marriage to Kris Humphries.
Despite filing for divorce from the basketball player after just 72 days in 2011, the two have yet to finalise their divorce.
Opening up: Kim Kardashian arrives to speak on the Today Show in New York on Tuesday
Best foot forward: Kim shows off her toned legs in her short skirt
Kris has refused to sign papers ending the marriage.
On the Today Show Kim explained: 'I can't speak for anyone else [about why Kris hasn't signed]. It's a process... It's happening, hopefully.'
She further explained to Kathie Lee and Hoda that she had waited six months after their split before dating again, and felt that was long enough.
'I'm 32 years old,' she said, adding that viewers would see more of this on her show.
She also talked about the possibility of a third marriage, to her rapper boyfriend.
'It's something that we talk about, but I think it's just, right now, focusing on the baby,' said Kim.
Sister act: The duo were promoting their new show Kourtney And Kim Take Miami
Stepping out: Happy Kourtney looked full of beans, despite the early hour
'[I'm] so content with how things are
right now. And how life is and we're so happy. We definitely want that
in the future, but I'm not in a rush.
'What I've learned in life is - I was always such a planner, and... you think your life is going to be a certain way, and the best surprises just happen when you don't plan.'
The baby news was made public when Kanye, 35, announced it on stage during a concert on December 30.
Revelations: Kim and Kourtney were promoting their new reality show Kourtney And Kim Take Miami
Excited: Kim shared her joy at her baby news
Sitting pretty: The reality stars were in a great mood as they got grilled for the show
While Kim was surprised he announced her pregnancy, she was happy for him to do so.
She said: 'Once you're past the three-month mark, you're pretty safe, so he just kind of goes off with what he feels and he was feeling it that night.'
Kim wore a black dress which showed off her toned legs for her TV interview. She was with her sister Kourtney, who wore a clinging leather dress as they promoted their reality show Kourtney And Kim Take Miami.
Lots to discuss: No doubt Kourtney has been passing on tips about motherhood to her little sister
It was hard work for Kim, who tweeted: 'Got 2.5 hours of sleep! I can never sleep my 1st night in NYC. Off to do the Today Show soon, the Kelly & Michael with @KourtneyKardash!'
After their early morning spot on the Today Show the sisters moved on to film Live With Kelly And Michael.
They switched their black outfits for more colourful creations, with Kim choosing a yellow dress, teamed with red lipstick, and Kourtney a red patterned blouse and white jeans.
She might be expecting, but Kim looked as on trend as ever in her peplum dress with side cut outs and nude court shoes
Just in case you didn't know! The sisters hold up their names on placards
Outfit change: Kim wore a yellow dress while Kourtney a red blouse and white trousers

Foreign competitors are edging out the United States not just in today's snazzy consumer goods, but in the technologies that will define the marketplace in the years to come. Most economists and new economy thinkers believe that the likeliest candidate for the Next Big Thing is the research being done in nanotechnology. American scientists have been tinkering with nanotechnologies for 20 years. But some of the most cutting-edge research today is coming from overseas.
The worry of economists and business leaders is not simply that Japan, Israel, or South Korea will beat us, like one football team does to another. It is, more precisely, that we'll only be able to take advantage of rising wages in those countries (and afford our own here) if we continue to create new, cutting-edge products and services to sell to those countries – and right now America does not seem to be doing as much of that as we were just a few years ago.

Clinton: 'War On Terror' Phrase Won't Be Used
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the Obama administration has indeed abandoned the term "global war on terror."
Clinton says that while she hasn't seen any specific orders, the new administration in Washington simply isn't using the phrase.
The term was a rallying cry for President Bush after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But the use of the term "global war on terror" is widely disliked overseas.
Reporters asked Clinton about the phrase Monday as she headed to Europe for a week of diplomatic meetings.
She said the absence of the "war on terror" language speaks for itself. Pundits have noted the absence, but top administration figures have had little to say on the subject.

Menopause is responsible for a host of pretty awful and at times infuriating symptoms, one of which is digestive system problems. Digestive problems such as cramps and diarrhea can have a particularly negative impact on everyday life and can possible develop into more serious conditions if left untreated. In order to overcome the problems associated with the digestive system that are caused by menopause, it is imperative to know the causes and possible remedies. Read over the following page for more information on digestive system problems.
What is Menopause and How Does it Affect the Digestive System?
The menopausal stage of life is signaled by the onset of a transitional period that typically lasts from two to ten years, from the first irregular menstrual period to the last. During this time, the remaining follicles in the ovaries lose their sensitivity to FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and secrete less estrogen, causing the FSH levels to rise. Low estrogen levels result in the rupture of the follicle and no egg being released. No ovulation occurs during the cycle.
Menopause, characterized by a ceasing of menstruation, is triggered by a decline in the estrogen levels of a woman's body. The subsequent hormone imbalance is what causes menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes, night sweats, depression, mood swings and weight gain to develop. Not every woman will experience all such symptoms with the same intensity, and some may also experience less known symptoms such as irritation in the general digestive process. Such digestive system problems can usually be addressed by treating menopause symptoms in a general way.
Menopause is one of the main causes of digestive system problems in women between the ages of 45 and 55. Common symptoms of digestive problems include:
This is because lower estrogen levels due to menopause cause an increase of cortisol levels in the body, which contribute to a rise in blood pressure and blood sugar. What this serves to do is slow the release of stomach acid and the emptying of stomach contents into the intestinal tract. This results in gas, bloating and constipation.
What Can I Do About Digestive System Problems that are Caused by Menopause?
There are many strategies that should be considered when implementing a hormone balancing program to offset the symptoms of menopause. However, keep in mind that all solutions are going to be greatly enhanced by a positive change in lifestyle approach. For example, enriching your diet with foods naturally occurring estrogen such as yams, soy, potatoes and rice can help minimize the symptoms of menopause. Keeping well hydrated, avoiding caffeine and getting at least seven or eight hours of sleep a night is also important in helping the body to naturally regulate its hormones. In addition to this, alternative medicine is becoming an increasingly popular method of treating menopause symptoms such as digestive system problems.
Some herbs help the body into producing and balancing its own hormonal levels. Though not containing estrogen components themselves, these herbs can help nourish the pituitary and endocrine glands. Keep in mind though, their effectiveness is often linked to keeping a healthy body in the first place.

To honor a Visalia war hero and raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project, a golf tournament will be held July 18 at the Valley Oaks Golf Course in Visalia.
Cpl. Jared Verbeek, died June 21, 2011 from injuries he suffered when he stepped on an improvised explosive device while serving in the U.S. Marines in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. He was 22.
Had he survived his injuries, he would have been a wounded warrior and for that reason, his parents, Travis and Rosalia Verbeek of Visalia, support the Wounded Warrior Project and lend their son's name to the annual golf tournament.
The goal is to raise more than $20,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project to honor and empower America's military service men and women who return home with critical injuries such as missing limbs and post-traumatic stress disorder. The nonprofit helps wounded soldiers find employment, go back to school and provides caregivers assistance.
Organizers for the golf tournament need sponsors and items for a raffle, said Andrew MacDonald, tournament organizer. Contact him at 381-6098 to arrange pickup of raffle items.
Jared Verbeek was a lance corporal and military police officer with the 1st Marine Division, 5th regiment at Camp Pendleton in Southern California. When he was killed on patrol in Helmand Province, he had already earned one Purple Heart. He was awarded a second one posthumously.
On June 21, the Giddings Street bridge over Highway 198 in Visalia was dedicated in his memory. Signs are posted facing each direction, two on the freeway below and one at each end of the bridge.
In Visalia, Cpl. Jared Verbeek will not be forgotten, said Wounded Warrior spokesperson Norbie Lara at the dedication.
Jared Verbeek grew up in Visalia, attended Mountain View Elementary School, Divisidero Middle School and graduated from Mt. Whitney High School in 2007. He worked for the Tulare County Sheriff's Department for a few months following a summer program and before he went to boot camp.
After a whirlwind six-month courtship in 2009, he married his wife, Vanessa, first in a civil ceremony and later at the Visalia Nazarene Church. Their son, Jacob, is now 4 years old.

Catholic Church and abortion politics
"The moment a positive law deprives a category of human beings of the protection which civil legislation ought to accord them, the state is denying the equality of all before the law. When the state does not place its power at the service of the rights of each citizen, and in particular of the more vulnerable, the very foundations of a state based on law are undermined. . . . As a consequence of the respect and protection which must be ensured for the unborn child from the moment of conception, the law must provide appropriate penal sanctions for every deliberate violation of the child's rights."
|Part of a series of articles on
in the
Catholic Church
Official opposition
Since the Catholic Church views abortion as gravely wrong, it considers it a duty to reduce its acceptance by the public and in civil legislation. While it considers that Catholics should not favour abortion in any field, it recognizes that Catholics may accept compromises that, while permitting abortions, lessen their incidence by, for instance, restricting some forms or enacting remedies against the conditions that give rise to them. It is accepted that support may be given to a political platform that contains a clause in favour of abortion but also elements that will actually reduce the number of abortions, rather than to an anti-abortion platform that will lead to their increase.[2]

United States[edit]
Before the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that opened the door to the legalization of abortion, the right-to-life movement in the U.S. consisted of lawyers, politicians, and doctors, almost all of whom were Catholic.[citation needed] The only coordinated opposition to abortion during the early 1970s came from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Family Life Bureau, also a Catholic organization. Prior to Roe v. Wade decision, abortion was not a high priority for Catholic bishops in the United States.[3][4] Neither was abortion a prominent issue in American politics prior to Roe v. Wade. It was not a major platform plank for either party in the 1968 and 1972 elections.[5]
In the 60s and early 70s, there was a shift as a number of Catholics and Southern whites abandoned their traditional affiliation with the Democratic party and began to support the Republican party. This shift is evidenced by the fact that Nixon received only 33% of the Catholic vote in the 1968 election compared to 52% in 1972. As a group, Catholics represented a quarter of the nation's electorate and were now one of the nation's largest swing groups. Both parties began to aggressively woo both the Catholic voters. Although the Catholic hierarchy could not dictate who Catholics voted for, they did have a substantial influence over the faithful in their dioceses. Politicians were aware that the bishops could employ significant time, energy and money to support the issues that were important to them. From their perspective, the bishops were eager to regain some of the influence that their predecessors had wielded in the earlier part of the 20th century.[5]
After Roe v. Wade, the involvement of the Catholic hierarchy in American politics increased to an unprecedented level, with bishops devoting more time, energy and money to the issue of abortion than any other single issue. The substantial role of the Catholic Church in the abortion debate has received much attention in the American media .[6]
Mobilization of a wide-scale pro-life movement among Catholics began quickly after the Roe v. Wade decision with the creation of the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC). The NRLC also organized non-Catholics, eventually becoming the largest pro-life organization in the United States. Connie Paige has been quoted as having said that, "[t]he Roman Catholic Church created the right-to-life movement. Without the church, the movement would not exist as such today."[7]
In the two years following the Roe v. Wade decision, U.S. bishops focused on passage of a Human Life Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which would ban abortion.
A Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities[edit]
In November 1975, the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) and the United States Catholic Conference (USCC) published a document titled "A Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities" that outlined a strategic plan for anti-abortion activities by members of the Catholic clergy and laity.[8] Laurence Tribe describes the document as "an extraordinary organizational blueprint for political action." The plan called for a "comprehensive pro-life legislative program" that would push for "passage of a constitutional amendment providing protection of the unborn child to the maximum degree possible."[9]
To accomplish its goals, the plan called for the formation of committees at the state level that would coordinate the political efforts in the dioceses and congressional districts of that state. Each diocese was to have a pro-life committee that would push for the passage of a "constitutional amendment to protect the unborn child." The plan also called for the creation of an "identifiable, tightly-knit and well-organized pro-life unit" in each congressional district to track voting records of elected officials vis-a-vis abortion and to mobilize resources for political action.[10]
Despite the concern of some bishops that the Pastoral Plan was narrowly focused on just the issue of abortion, the plan was adopted in 1975 and subsequently re-approved in 1985 and 2001.[8]
1976 presidential election[edit]
Abortion became an issue early on in the race for the 1976 Democratic presidential nomination. Senator Birch Bayh, who had chaired hearings on a constitutional amendment to ban abortion, finally broke his silence on the issue and came out against the passage of such an amendment. Bayh's stance opposing the amendment was soon echoed by Frank Church and Sargent Shriver, a practicing Catholic.[10]
The Democratic party began to fracture over pro-life and pro-choice lines. Pro-life Democrats sought a candidate sympathetic to their stance on the constitutional amendment. However, conservative Democrat George Wallace declared his support for such an amendment. Laurence Tribe attributes Jimmy Carter's victory in the Iowa caucuses to his having "fudged" his position on abortion although Carter publicly denied having done so.[11] On the Republican side, Ronald Reagan declared his support for a constitutional amendment that would effectively ban abortions. Although President Ford won the nomination of his party, Reagan's supporters were able to push through a plank in the party platform that called for a "constitutionl amendment to restore the protection of the right to life of unborn children."[12]
The Democratic party platform included a plank which asserted that it was "undesirable to attempt to amend the U.S. Constitution to overturn Roe v. Wade. In an attempt to mollify the displeasure of U.S. bishops, Carter arranged a meeting with six bishops to clarify his position that, although he had not yet seen a specific phrasing that he could support, he remained opposed to abortion and pledged that he "would never try to block" an amendment banning abortion. This stance failed to placate the bishops. Attempting to capitalize on Carter's failure, President Ford signalled his agreement with the bishops' position by inviting the NCCB/USCC's Executive Committee to the White House. After the meeting, the bishops declared that, while they were not totally satisfied with Ford's position, they were encouraged by it and that they felt that "support for the concept" of a constitutional amendment was more important than agreement on a "specific kind of amendment."[12][13]
However, in Laurence Tribe's estimation, abortion played a less significant role in the general election than it had in the primaries. When asked to rank fifteen issues in order of importance, voters ranked abortion as fifteenth.[14] According to exit interviews conducted by CBS News, the Catholic vote wound up favoring Carter by 54% to 44%, a wider margin than the general electorate which favored Carter over Ford by just 50% to 48%.
1980 presidential election[edit]
During the 1980 presidential election, Ronald Reagan made the pro-life cause a key issue in his campaign. He endorsed a constitutional amendment banning abortion, promised to appoint pro-life judges to the federal bench and prohibit the use of federal funds for abortions except where necessary to save the life of the mother. According to the results of exit interviews published in the New York Times, Catholics favored Reagan over Carter by 51% to 40%, a margin very similar to that of the general electorate.[15]
1984 presidential election[edit]
By 1984, the Republican party was fully aligned with traditional religious values including the pro-life movement.[13] Whereas Catholics had generally voted Democratic until the late 1960s, this traditional affiliation had diminished by 1984 to a weighting in favor of the Republican party with abortion being one of the key drivers of the shift.
Sharp criticism from Church authorities put Democratic vice-presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro on the defensive throughout the entire campaign, with abortion opponents frequently protesting her appearances with a level of fervor not usually encountered by pro-choice Catholic male candidates such as Mario Cuomo and Ted Kennedy.[16][17][18] Ferraro was criticized by name by Cardinal John O'Connor, the Catholic Archbishop of New York, and James Timlin, the Bishop of Scranton, for misrepresenting the Catholic Church's position on abortion.[19][20][21] In a 1982 briefing for Congress Ferraro had written that, "the Catholic position on abortion is not monolithic and there can be a range of personal and political responses to the issue."[22][23] Cardinal O'Connor publicly criticized Ferraro for making this statement. After several days of back-and-forth debate in the public media, Ferraro finally conceded that, "the Catholic Church's position on abortion is monolithic" but went on to say that "But I do believe that there are a lot of Catholics who do not share the view of the Catholic Church".[24]
The pro-choice group Catholics for a Free Choice placed an October 7, 1984, full-page ad in The New York Times titled "A Catholic Statement on Pluralism and Abortion".[22] The advertisement stated that "direct abortion ...can sometimes be a moral choice" and that "responsible moral decisions can only be made in an atmosphere of freedom from fear of coercion."[25]
Debate within the Catholic hierarchy[edit]
Reagan's attempt to confirm and build up his ties with the religious base of his party injected a strong religious overtone to his re-election campaign. This new focus on religious values in politics caused the American bishops to evaluate the extent to which Catholic morality should interact with politics and public policy. The Catholic hierarchy was split because some bishops such as Archbishop Bernard Law and Archbishop John O'Connor favored focusing on the single issue of abortion whereas others such as Cardinal Joseph Bernardin favored a more balanced approach that brought attention to other issues such as the threat of nuclear warfare and the elimination of poverty.[13] Cardinal Bernardin asserted that the Catholic hierarchy would be "severely pressured by those who wanted to push a particular issue with little or no regard for the rest of the bishops' positions." In order to prevent this from happening, Bernardin proposed that the bishops promote a "consistent ethic of life".[26] Bernardin argued that, while it was not necessary or possible for every Catholic to be engaged on every issue, it was nonetheless "both possible and necessary for the Church as a whole to cultivate a conscious explicit connection among the several issues."[27] Initially, Bernardin spoke out against nuclear war and abortion. However, he quickly expanded the scope of his view to include all aspects of human life (according to the church's definition). In one of the first speeches given on the topic at Fordham University, Bernardin said: "The spectrum of life cuts across the issues of genetics, abortion, capital punishment, modern warfare and the care of the terminally ill."[28] Bernardin said that although each of the issues was distinct (euthanasia, for example, was not the same as abortion), nevertheless the issues were linked since the valuing and defending of (human) life (according to the Catholic definition) were, he believed, at the center of both issues. Cardinal Bernardin told an audience in Portland, Oregon: "When human life is considered 'cheap' or easily expendable in one area, eventually nothing is held as sacred and all lives are in jeopardy."[28]
Subsequent presidential elections[edit]
Margaret Ross Sammons describes the 1984 presidential election as the "pinnacle of the abortion debate" but asserts that the issue of abortion continued to be prominent in subsequent presidential elections. For example, in 1996, Cardinals Bernard Law and James Hickey urged Catholics not to re-elect President Bill Clinton after he vetoed a law banning intact dilation and extraction. In 2000, Catholic leaders reacted negatively to speculation that Governor George W. Bush was considering the pro-choice Catholic governor of Pennsylvania, Tom Ridge, as a possible running mate. In 2004, a number of bishops publicly declared that they would deny communion to Senator John Kerry because of his willingness to support laws protecting abortion rights despite a personal opposition to abortion. Although Kerry continued to receive communion throughout the election campaign, Sammons asserts that Kerry's campaign was sufficiently damaged by the threat to withhold communion that it may have cost him the election. Sammons argues that President George W. Bush was able to win 53% of the Catholic vote because he appealed to "traditional" Catholics.[29]
Relationship with Protestant anti-abortion activists[edit]
|This section requires expansion. (January 2012)
Because the Catholic Church in the U.S. took the lead in opposing the spread and legalization of abortion and the Protestants were comparatively slow to mobilize, Protestants who were anti-abortion came to respect the national organizations that the Catholics had established to co-ordinate their efforts.[30]
Pro-choice Catholic politicians[edit]
Many controversies have arisen over the church's treatment of Catholic politicians who support abortion rights. There has been controversy in the United States over whether Catholic politicians who promote legalization of abortion should be denied communion, as demanded by some American pro-life Catholic organizations and a few bishops. Both in the United States and elsewhere, excommunication of such politicians has been envisaged but has not been applied. Some bishops have threatened to refuse communion to these politicians. In some cases, bishops have stated that the politicians should refrain from receiving communion; in others, the possibility of excommunication has been suggested. According to David Yamane, "the vast majority of bishops in the United States ... have remained silent on the issue." Those remaining silent include prominent conservatives such as Cardinals Justin Rigali of Philadelphia and Edward Egan of New York. Cardinals William Keeler of Baltimore and Theodore McCarrick of Washington have declared that they would not withhold communion as a means of sanctioning pro-choice Catholic politicians. Yamane points out that the number of bishops who have made public pronouncements against pro-choice Catholic politicians amounts to less than 10% of the American Catholic hierarchy.[31] Because only a small percentage of American bishops are in favor of withholding communion from politicians and the majority are opposed, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops decided in 2004 that such matters should left to the discretion of each bishop on a case-by-case basis.[32]
Those bishops who support denying communion, including Raymond Leo Burke, base their position on Canon 915.[33] Most American bishops do not support refusal of communion on these grounds.[34] These statements of intent from church authorities have sometimes led American Catholic voters to vote for candidates who wish to ban abortion, rather than pro-choice candidates who support other Catholic Church positions, such as war, health care, immigration, or lowering the abortion rate.[35]
Statements of intent from church authorities have sometimes led American Catholic voters to vote for candidates who wish to ban abortion, rather than pro-choice candidates who support other Catholic Church positions, such as war, health care, immigration, or lowering the abortion rate.[35] Penalties of this kind from bishops have targeted Democrats, although a number of prominent Republican politicians are also pro-choice.[36]
In 1990, John Cardinal O'Connor of New York suggested that, by supporting abortion rights, Catholic politicians who were pro-choice risked excommunication. The response of Catholic pro-choice politicians to O'Connor's comment was generally defiant. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi asserted that, "There is no desire to fight with the cardinals or archbishops. But it has to be clear that we are elected officials and we uphold the law and we support public positions separate and apart from our Catholic faith."[37]
Politicians who have been targeted in such controversies include Lucy Killea,[38] Mario Cuomo,[39] John Kerry,[40]Rudy Giuliani,[41] and Joe Biden.[35] Killea's case was the first recorded;[38] Kerry's led to comparisons between his presidential campaign and that of John F. Kennedy in 1960. While Kennedy had to demonstrate his independence from the Roman Catholic Church due to public fear that a Catholic president would make decisions based on Vatican commands, it seemed that Kerry, in contrast, had to show obedience to Catholic authorities in order to win votes.[36][42][43][44][45]
Threats to deny communion have been limited to the United States.[32] Bishops there who support such a course of action cite canon 915 as justification.[46] Suggested reasons for this uniqueness are a politicization of pastoral practice and abortion's constitutional status as a right.[32][47]
Abortion is legal in nearly every European country although there is a wide variation in the restrictions under which it is permitted. Restrictions on abortion are most stringent in countries that are more strongly observant of the Catholic faith.[48]
In Europe, there have not been threats of denial of communion,[32] although, as in the United States, there have been incidents of church authorities telling Catholic politicians not to take communion[49] and of excommunication being suggested.[50][51][52] Pope John Paul II is reported to have given communion to Italian abortion rights supporter Francesco Rutelli, on Jan. 6, 2001.[53]
In 1973, Franz Cardinal König wrote an open letter to Chancellor Bruno Kreisky opposing free-choice abortion and arguing that it was a "renunciation of society's responsibility to protect life, including unborn life." In 1975, the Catholic Church played a significant role in mobilizing support for a "people's initiative" sponsored by Aktion Leben, an Austrian pro-life organization. Ultimately, abortion on demand remained legal in Austria during the first trimester of pregnancy.[54]
After the fall of Communism, abortion debate erupted in Poland. Roman Catholic and Lutheran Churches, and right-wing politicians pressured the government to ban abortion except in cases where abortion was the only way to save the life of the pregnant woman. Left-wing politicians and most liberals were opposed to this, and pressured the government to maintain the above-mentioned 1956 legislation. The abortion law in Poland today ("Law on family planning, protection of the human fetus and conditions for legal abortion") was enacted in January 1993 as a compromise between both camps.
It is widely believed that the Catholic Church in Poland is the main obstacle to the liberalization of abortion laws and the reintroduction of sex education in Polish schools in accordance with European standards. However, research studies have shown that Polish Catholics have a wide range of views on sex and marriage. Many Poles, including devout Catholics, complain that the Catholic Church makes demands that very few Catholics want and are able to satisfy.[55]
Prior to 1990, Belgium remained one of the few countries where abortion was illegal. However, abortions were unofficially permitted (and even reimbursed out of 'sickness funds') as long as they were registered as "curettage". It was estimated that 20,000 abortions were performed each year (in comparison to 100,000 births).[56]
In early 1990, despite the opposition of the Christian parties, a coalition of the Socialist and Liberal parties passed a law to partially liberalize abortion law in Belgium. The Belgian bishops appealed to the population at large with a public statement that expounded their doctrinal and pastoral opposition to the law. They warned Belgian Catholics that anyone who co-operated "effectively and directly" in the procurement of abortions was "excluding themselves from the ecclesiastical community." Motivated by the strong stance of the Belgian bishops, King Baudoin notified the Prime Minister on March 30 that he could not sign the law without violating his conscience as a Catholic.[57] Since the legislation would not have the force of law without the king's signature, his refusal to sign threatened to precipitate a constitutional crisis.[58] However, the problem was resolved by an agreement between the king and Prime Minister Martens by which the Belgian government declared the king unable to govern, assumed his authority and enacted the law, after which Parliament then voted to reinstate the king on the next day.[56][59][60][61][62][63] The Vatican described the king's action as a "noble and courageous choice" dictated by a "very strong moral conscience."[64] Others have suggested that Baudoin's action was "little more than a gesture", since he was reinstated as king just 44 hours after he was removed from power.[57]
The Philippines[edit]
In the Philippines, abortion is illegal except where it is deemed necessary to save the life of the mother. Since the nation is predominantly Catholic, the Church is highly influential and its opposition is credited with frustrating efforts to liberalize the nation's highly restrictive abortion laws.[65]

Couple head out to the oil
Published: Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at 11:28 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at 11:28 a.m.
HOUMA — P.J. Domangue of Chauvin has been cleaning up oil in the Gulf of Mexico for more than a month now, piloting the trawler his father, Westley Domangue, built with his own hands.
When Westley Domangue built the boat, he named it the "Nannie Annie." It was onboard that vessel in 2007 that Westley died of a heart attack. Since then, P.J. has refurbished and renamed it the Maycie Brook, and he has been alone out there save for two deckhands.
His fiancée, Wendy Martin, has held down the home front. She's had a lot of concerns lately about what chemicals the people cleaning up the oil have been breathing, and has made phone calls and hounded officials for answers about safety. She hasn't gotten many answers, but she says she keeps digging.
Wendy Martin is about to see what's going on firsthand, however, when she joins Domangue on the boat. She's not certain how long she will stay, but is ready and willing to give whatever help is
"We had planned a vacation to Alabama for this week, and just because we can't go there doesn't mean we can't be together," she said. "Thanks to BP, instead of heading to Gulf Shores as we had planned, I will be leaving to ride a supply boat to be reunited with P.J. after 35 days. I'll spend a week out on the boat helping with the oil spill."
Martin is aware that the work could be dangerous but doesn't mind. If it's good enough for P.J., she said, it's good enough
for her.
At least if she is out there on board the boat, she said, she can provide an extra measure of caution to make sure that he does what he needs to do to remain safe.

Arts Vandalism at the Sculpture Park!
At the Dan Savage Memorial Sculpture Park in the traffic circle at 14th and Howell, of course, not the Olympic Sculpture Park on the Elliott Bay waterfront. (The OSP's postponed opening date will be announced tomorrow, I'm toldit will be sometime in early 2007along with the opening date for the expanded Seattle Art Museum headquarters on First and Union in spring '07.)
The DSMSP vandals defaced that park's inaugural installation, a text-based piece, by savagely (yes!) ripping out from under the dirt mound that held it down the car tire that read, "Dan Savage." They then transported the piece in question to the offices of the Stranger, where they tossed it over our fence for us to find this morning.
The following photos, taken by Sarah Mirk, are a recreation of the journey the tire took after its traumatic removal by vandals, rolling from its resting place in our doorway
past the chipperest, sunshiniest reception desk in the world
and right up into Savage's chair.
DS is away until Friday, but MSP, keep the faith. Vandalism will out.

U.S. Walks Fine Line in Afghan Vote
The U.S. and its allies are walking a thin line by trying to monitor the count in Afghanistan's presidential vote without influencing the outcome, as results from the election trickle into public view.
Rampant allegations of electoral fraud, combative statements from candidates, and popular speculation about the U.S.'s role as kingmaker have made the balancing act more difficult.
According to the latest results, released Saturday, President Hamid Karzai's lead has widened, with votes from a third of the polling stations counted. At stake in the vote is not just the credibility of the new Afghan government, but also that of the U.S. and its allies, who have backed the democratic experiment with troops on the ground, say Western diplomats.
"If Afghans don't believe in these elections, then the international community will have failed here," said a European diplomat in Kabul.
Meetings between Western officials and Afghan presidential candidates have fed talk of efforts to shape a runoff between the two lead candidates, President Karzai and Abdullah Abdullah. In this context, an Aug. 21 meeting between Mr. Karzai and U.S. regional envoy Richard Holbrooke has also assumed importance, if only to highlight the prominent American role in the election.
The U.S. Embassy in Kabul has said its only preference is for a fair election. "We do not support or oppose any particular candidate, and whether there is a runoff is an issue for the Afghan electoral bodies to determine," the embassy said.
Saturday's results show Mr. Karzai has 46.2%, up three percentage points from earlier in the week and well ahead of the 31.4% obtained by Dr. Abdullah, a former foreign minister and the lead challenger -- but still short of the absolute majority needed to avoid a runoff.
The two million votes already counted represent one-third of Afghanistan's polling stations. The electoral commission said it will provide the next update Monday.
Fraud allegations have marred the election. Afghan and international observers say supporters of both candidates stuffed ballot boxes and intimidated voters. Critics of Mr. Karzai say his camp engaged in more widespread fraud, if only because there were fewer monitors in parts of the country where his support is strongest, and the Taliban insurgency is at its most potent. The Karzai campaign denies engaging in any fraud.
The independent Electoral Complaints Commission had received more than 2,000 allegations of misconduct through Saturday. Nearly 700 were considered serious enough to affect the outcome, the commission said.
Dr. Abdullah has repeatedly said he will dispute the results only through legal means. At the same time, he has said Mr. Karzai can win only through "big fraud," and has presented photos and videos of alleged ballot-stuffing in favor of Mr. Karzai.
Over the weekend, Dr. Abdullah offered a bleak outlook for the country if people don't accept the election results. "If the democratic process does not survive, then Afghanistan doesn't survive," he told hundreds of supporters at a rally north of Kabul Friday.
Such talk, along with private suggestions from some in Dr. Abdullah's camp that a Karzai win could be met with violent protests, has prompted U.S. and European officials to press the doctor to rein in his people. Dr. Abdullah's comments are "something that certainly worries all of us. It's not at all helpful at this moment," said a U.S. diplomat in Kabul.
As the vote count becomes more contentious, the U.S. and its allies are finding it harder to play a hands-off role. Over the weekend, U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown called Dr. Abdullah to discuss the elections, according to Abdullah campaign spokesman Fazel Sangcharaki.
"The British were very concerned about the possibility of violence," said Mr. Sangcharaki. "But they were careful not to suggest anything to us except for asking us to respect the legal process."
The U.K. Embassy in Kabul didn't respond to requests to comment.
A meeting the day after the Aug. 20 vote between Mr. Karzai and Mr. Holbrooke, who was accompanied by U.S. Ambassador Lt. Gen. Karl Eikenberry and another senior American official, illustrated the delicacy of the U.S. role. U.S. and Afghan officials with knowledge of the meeting described it as tense but not especially heated. The Americans raised concerns about electoral fraud. They avoided pointing fingers at the president, but urged Mr. Karzai's government to address endemic corruption, if he were indeed re-elected, according to people with knowledge of the meeting. Mr. Karzai and Mr. Holbrooke met again Sunday to discuss many of the same issues, these officials said.
But the exchange quickly became part of Afghanistan's political folklore, spun by some into a shouting match in which Mr. Karzai stormed out of the room -- a scenario both U.S. and Afghan officials deny. Supporters of Mr. Karzai painted it as a U.S. attempt to force the rightful winner into a runoff. Opponents sought to portray it as another sign that the president, who came to power with the backing of the Bush administration, has lost Washington's backing and could no longer effectively govern.

One of the oldest debates in medicine is whether patients with hypovolemic shock should be resuscitated with colloids (eg, albumin or hydroxyethyl starch [HES]) or crystalloids (eg, normal saline or Ringer lactate). Despite thousands of patients enrolled in trials of alternative fluid strategies, consensus remains elusive and practice is widely variable.1,2 The argument for colloids is that, because they rely on oncotic pressure gradients created by their suspension of large molecular weight protein or starch, they selectively expand the intravascular space.3 In contrast, crystalloids, which rely on the osmotic gradients of their solutes, equilibrate more rapidly across intra- and extravascular spaces. Thus, to achieve similar restoration of blood volume, more volume of crystalloid may be necessary, with unwanted excess edema.4 However, shock states, such as sepsis, induce endothelial leaking with extravasation of protein and other large molecules,5 which undermines the theoretical advantage of colloids. Furthermore, colloids are considerably more expensive; human-derived colloids, such as albumin, carry theoretical risks of infection; and the large molecule proteins and starches may have unwanted immunogenic effects.4 Some starches also appear to cause renal injury.6
