NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--While LifeWay Research found the number of Southern Baptist pastors embracing five-point Calvinism to be relatively small, it is undeniable that the conversations on Calvinism within the Southern Baptist Convention have brought renewed interest to the theological system.
Proponents of Calvinism, or Reformed theology, view it as a healthy return to early Southern Baptist heritage. Others see Calvinism as a negative trend and fear it is threatening to take over the SBC. In its inaugural survey, LifeWay Research sought to document the prevalence - or lack thereof - of Calvinism within the SBC.
Surveying 413 pastors, the July/August 2006 LifeWay Research survey asked Southern Baptist pastors to indicate their position concerning the following question: Do you consider yourself a five-point Calvinist?
LifeWay Research found that 10 percent of Southern Baptist pastors consider themselves five-point Calvinists. That number, while still relatively small compared to the 85 percent who do not consider themselves five-point Calvinists, still is a large enough group to deserve attention.
The survey also showed that 4 percent of respondents dont know if they are five-point Calvinist. Another 1 percent refused to answer one way or another.
After analyzing the demographics of the 10 percent who affirm Calvinism, LifeWay Research also found no clear age correlation.
Some have expressed views that this renewed interest in Reformed theology is tied to younger Southern Baptist students and pastors, said Brad Waggoner, director of LifeWay Research. It is interesting that the research revealed that there is no significant statistical difference in those who are over 40 years of age responding in the affirmative and those under 40. Therefore, age is not a determining factor in those who embrace Reformed theology.
LifeWay Research also found that a slight majority (51 percent) of Southern Baptist pastors address Calvinism from the pulpit once a year or less, while 45 percent of SBC pastors address Calvinism several times a year or more from the pulpit. Four percent refused to answer the question regarding the frequency with which they address Calvinism from the pulpit.
Of the entire sample, 6 percent of pastors responded that they address Calvinism once a month and 7 percent discuss it more than once a month. The survey did not ask whether the respondents spoke favorably or negatively of Reformed theology.
LifeWay Research chose to make Calvinism the topic of its first project in light of the increased dialogue across the SBC and as speculation emerged on the prevalence of Calvinistic theology.
LifeWay President and CEO Thom S. Rainer announced the formation of LifeWay Research in February, saying the entity would assist and equip church leaders with knowledge that leads to greater levels of church health and effectiveness. The research seeks to measure accurately the beliefs and behaviors of people, the emerging practices of churches, the things church leaders are talking about, and the factors affecting churches today.
Research is a critical need because the truth matters, Waggoner said in a recent interview. There seems to be a need for clarity and interpretation of all this information.
LifeWay Research conducted the study on Calvinism through a sample of 413 Southern Baptist pastors surveyed by phone in July and August. The sample has a margin of error of +4.8 percent at the 95 percent confidence interval.
An Inside LifeWay podcast interview with Waggoner discussing the researchs findings will be available at LifeWay.com/news.
LifeWay Research has three more projects scheduled for the remainder of 2006:
-- the formerly churched (why they left church and what would bring them back.
-- churches that are effective in evangelism over a 10-year period and why.
-- the sources from which Southern Baptist churches draw ministry help.

News: SOHH EXCLUSIVE: Buckshot Talks "Survival Skills" LP,"Me & KRS-ONE Are Coming For Heads" [Audio]
Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 10:35AM
With this week's release of their joint album, Survival Skills, Buckshot hit up SOHH to talk about how he and his partner in rhyme KRS-ONE come together like Batman & Robin and why their new project is more than just bars and hooks.
Buckshot also explained how the Queen of R&B Mary J. Blige secured a spot on the album.
"A war," Buckshot said referring to what fans should expect from the album. "A war between us, me and KRS-ONE, 'cause we Batman & Robin to everybody. If you ain't dope, meaning, if you can't get on that stage show and out-last us, you have a problem. So when we say dope, we don't mean get on that stage and just spit rhymes, and I spit rhymes and the public go 'Yeah, who was better?' That's not what we talking about. I'm talking about battling, me and KRS-ONE are coming for heads if you get on that stage. We challenge anybody to that stage -- and that's why the album is called Survival Skills because regardless or not, me and KRS-ONE have survived battles after battles, war after war...Mary J. Blige is a friend of ours -- Mary is a gangster and when I say that, she's so real you can't believe it. She's not a Barbie Doll personality, but she has that appearance because she's a lady. We got Immortal Technique on the album -- he did some sh*t where he sound like Chuck D in 2000 and right now. Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, Tek-N-Steele, Heltah Skeltah, Atmosphere -- now that you combine KRS-ONE and Buckshot that kill a show, and now when you go out and recruit the soldiers that do the same thing you do -- who can see our team?" (SOHH)
The Boot Camp Clik leader also recently spoke on what is needed to survive in today's rap game.
"Everything is taking a transition," he said in a statement. "In hip-hop today you need patience, discipline and obedience. Those are the three elements. You gotta keep yourself around people that are smarter than you and better than you at what you want to do. That's what will make you become better." (Exclaim)
Aside from Mary J. Blige and Talib Kweli dropping rhymes, the project will also be supported by a well-known production team.
With guests ranging from Mary J. Blige, Slug Of Atmosphere, K'NAAN, Talib Kweli, Immortal Technique, Melanie Fiona, Naledge of Kidz In The Hall, Sean Price, Geo of Blue Scholars, Smif N Wessun and Rock of Heltah Skeltah, Survival Skills represents a diverse range of topics, all while maintaining a consistent sound. The album has production from Havoc of Mobb Deep, 9th Wonder, Black Milk, ILL MIND, Coptic, Moss, Nottz, Marco Polo and KHRYSIS! (Examiner)
Both Buckshot and KRS-ONE made headlines over the summer hitting up various nationwide venues on the Rock The Bells Tour 2009.
Rock the Bells 2009 performances by KRS-One, House of Pain, Reflection Eternal, Damian Marley, Tech N9ne, K'Naan, RZA, Big Boi, La Coka Nostra, Slaughterhouse, M.O.P., Slum Village, Buckshot, Evidence, Alchemist and more. It will be hosted by KRS-One, Supernatural, Murs and Pete Rock. Additional artists to be announced. The North American portion of the tour will run from June 27 to August 9. (Guerilla Union)
Survival Skills is currently in stores and released via Duck Down Records.

This week, I was elated to receive an email from a reader who needs gift ideas for a friend who is moving out of the country. In today's blog post, I answer the email* with gift ideas.
Dear Crystal,
I have a friend who is leaving the country for work. We are throwing him a party next week, and we are supposed to get him one sentimental gift and one practical gift for him to utilize while he is out of the country. I would appreciate your help with the practical gift. Thank you!
Non-practical Dude
P.S. My wife loves your blog and is the one who told me to ask you for help.
Dear Non-practical Dude,
As someone who loves to throw parties regardless of the situation, I applaud you for the wonderful idea of asking guests to bring both a sentimental gift and a practical gift! This is a wonderful idea that I'm sure your friend will appreciate.
Here are some practical gift ideas:
1. Travel Luggage Scale – This device hooks onto luggage, packages and a wide variety of things your friend may be bringing on the airplane and any subsequent trips. It's very small and will help your friend to avoid over-weight luggage fees. Target has a variety of travel luggage scales at a reasonable price.
2. Space Bags – Give him an assortment of sizes of Space Bags for packing his clothing and linens. I have used Space Bags the last couple of years, and they really do help maximize the amount of items I can fit in a suitcase.
3. Travel Guide – A current travel guide for his new city will really help him acclimate during his first couple of weeks. He will be able to search for restaurants, entertainment venues and basic information about his new city.
Please extend my sincere gratitude to your wife for reading my blog and encouraging you to email me. I truly appreciate your email. May your party be a success and your gift well-received!
Yours in Gift-Giving Delight,
Crystal Intini-Alperin
Challenge to Readers: Do you need gift ideas for an upcoming event or unusual party? I would love to help you!

Tubal Reversal Illustrations
Microsurgical Tubal Anastomosis and Tubal Implantation
How tubal reversal is performed
Tubal ligation reversal involves microsurgical techniques to open and reconnect the fallopian tube segments that remain after a tubal ligation procedure.
Usually there are two remaining fallopian tube segments - the proximal tubal segment that emerges from the uterus and the distal tubal segment that ends with the fimbria next to the ovary.
The procedure that connects these separated parts of the fallopian tube is called microsurgical tubotubal anastomosis, or tubal anastomosis for short.
Other terms used to describe this procedure are:
- microsurgical tubal reanastomosis
- microsurgical tubal reversal
- microsurgical tubal repair
Microsurgical tubal anastomosis
After opening the blocked ends of the remaining tubal segments, a narrow flexible stent is gently threaded through their inner cavities or lumens into the uterine cavity. This ensures that the fallopian tube is open from the uterine cavity to its fimbrial end. The newly created tubal openings are then drawn next to each other by placing a retention suture in the connective tissue that lies beneath the fallopian tubes. The retention suture avoids the likelihood of the tubal segments subsequently pulling apart.
Microsurgical sutures are used to precisely align the muscular portion (muscularis) and outer layer (serosa), while avoiding the inner layer (mucosa), of the fallopian tube. The tubal stent is then gently withdrawn from the fimbrial end of the tube.
You can watch Dr. Berger perform tubal microsurgery step-by-step on the tubal reversal video that has been shown on "The Operation" series broadcast on Discovery and The Learning Channel.
Microsurgical tubal implantation
In some cases, a tubal ligation procedure leaves only the distal portion of the fallopian tube and no proximal tubal opening into the uterus. This may occur when monopolar tubal coagulation has been applied to the isthmic segment of the fallopian tube as it emerges from the uterus. In this situation, a new opening can be created through the uterine muscle and the remaining tubal segment inserted into the uterine cavity. Another situation where this procedure is useful is when sterilization has been performed with the Essure technique, in which case the implant is removed after the uterine incision has been made.
This microsurgical procedure is called tubal implantation, tubouterine implantation, or uterotubal implantation. Dr. Berger performs microsurgical tubal implantation if microsurgical tubal anastomosis is not possible due to the absence of a proximal tubal segment and interstitial tubal lumen (see fallopian tube anatomy).

Google Chrome packaged apps deliver an experience as capable as a native app, but as safe as a web page. Just like web apps, packaged apps are written in HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. But packaged apps look and behave like native apps, and they have native-like capabilities that are much more powerful than those available to web apps.
Packaged apps have access to Chrome APIs and services not available to traditional web sites. You can build powerful apps that interact with network and hardware devices, media tools, and much more. Here's a short list of examples:
- Shells (VMWare, Citrix, SSH, RDP or VNC clients)
- Music/video streaming
- Photo/video/music editing
Working samples and examples can be found on Github as well as a step-by-step guide.

Tim Cook is not fond of press interviews. In fact, he rarely speaks to the media outside of Apple's pre-planned launch events. But he recently sat down with Bloomberg Businessweek to talk about a number of topics, including his first year as CEO of Apple, his personal life, and his future plans for the company.
The most interesting thing that Cook divulged in his interview is that Apple plans to bring production of some of its computers back to the US next year. "We've been working on this for a long time, and we were getting closer to it," noted Cook. "It will happen in 2013." Apple originally produced all of its computers when it first started in the late 1970s, but it moved production overseas — mostly to China — in the 1990s.
Cook also speaks of Apple's relatively newfound transparency with regards to its supply chain and its recent charitable giving as things that he's been wanting to implement for a long time. Giving to charities was something that Apple was not known for during Steve Jobs tenure as CEO, but that appears to be changing a bit with Cook. "I think that Apple and Apple's employees have done enormous good and can do even more," said Cook.
The interview goes on to cover areas such as competitor's products, the Apple Maps fiasco, and the recent executive changes that have happened at Apple. Head over to Bloomberg Businessweek to read the full interview, and tune in to NBC at 10PM ET for Rock Center with Brian Williams, which will feature a video interview with Tim Cook.

MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) - The Douglas County Sheriff's Office has arrested two people after chase in southeastern South Dakota at speeds that exceeded 100 mph and lasted more than an hour.
Douglas County Deputy Sgt. Jason Babl said charges were still pending in the case.
Babl says the chase began about 11 a.m. Thursday when he and another officer attempted to stop a vehicle going 90 mph in a 55 mph zone, but the driver refused to stop.
He says officers from the Charles Mix County Sheriff's Office, the Wagner Police Department and the Bureau of Indian Affairs all joined in the chase, which lasted about an hour and 15 minutes.
Babl says the chase ended when the suspects' vehicle apparently ran out of gas.

This product has a very nice feel and plumping effect to the skin upon application. It wears well under makeup and layers with ease under and or over other product. I really like the way my skin feels after use and my skins overall clarity, brightness is improved but I am not sure if this is a heavy hitting anti aging serum as of yet. So far it is looking promising

MADISON (WKOW) -- The City of Madison says they will begin plowing residential streets starting at 3:00 p.m. today.
The three day accumulation of snow warrants a general plowing, but there is not a snow emergency.
Approximately 75 units will be out, compared to the 150 or more used when bringing in private contractors. The plowing time will increase to up to 12 hours for clearing the 760 miles of streets and alleys in the City.
The City is asking residents to be patients, they will get to all the streets.
The evening commute should be fine. 30 crews have been out salting routes all day and will continue through rush hour.

It doesn't happen that often, but sometimes documentaries are adapted, or remade, into narrative films. That's what we call the fully dramatized versions anyway, ignoring the fact that docs have narratives too. Past examples include Werner Herzog's "Little Dieter Needs to Fly," which the filmmaker turned into Rescue Dawn, Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato's "Party Monster," which the duo made into a film of the same name, and I include biographies like Rob Epstein's "The Times of Harvey Milk" even though it wasn't directly related to Gus Van Sant's biopic Milk.
This is a subject I've written about multiple times before, but it always comes up because so many docs are announced as getting remakes that haven't (yet, if ever) seen the light of day. Titles that have been optioned or even bought include "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters," "Racing Dreams," "The Bengali Detective," "Page One: Inside the New York Times," Hands on a Hard Body," "Crazy Love," "Young @ Heart," "Murderball," "Bra Boys," "Chicago 10" and the "Paradise Lost" films.
Now we can add two more to the bunch, through separate bits of news out of Sundance. Current competition title "Indie Game: The Movie," which is about independent video game designers, has been picked up by HBO and producer Scott Rudin as inspiration for a fictional comedy series. This is similar to a deal HBO made at last year's fest to adapt "Knuckle" into a series.

An award-winning documentary by Jenny Abel and Jeff Hockett
In 2005, after winning First Grand Prize at the Slamdance Film Festival, and four years later in 2009, a similar honor at the Fargo Film Festival, âAbel Raises Cain,â a comedy feature, has defied the laws of Hollywoodâs jungle. Its âlegsâ remain unstoppable.
During 2011, âAbel Raises Cainâ completed a four-thousand mile tour of southern colleges and museums in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Audiences of all ages were mesmerized, reacting with sustained laughter and standing ovations.
At South Carolina State University in Orangeburg, SC, the sold out screening had to be held in their spacious planetarium and projected on the ceiling. It was somewhat eerie to observe a full house of patrons laughing and applauding, while lounging on the horizontal easy chairs designed for overhead viewing.
In New Orleans, to accommodate an overflow crowd, âAbel Raises Cainâ was also projected on the side of a three-story building next door. Even traffic halted to view the movie. At its conclusion, horns honked and a marching band appeared, playing âThe Saints,â adding to the excitement of cheers, shouts and applause. What a tribute for filmmakers Jenny Abel and Jeff Hockett!
After each screening, Jenny took the stage to field questions from the elated audiences. They all registered their surprise and delight at this first view of the young filmmaker who deftly handled queries. When asked where her father was, that was his cue to appear from backstage for standing ovations and applause. Alan Abel was a secret guest and he joined his daughter for more banter with audiences.
During its past and present screenings, âAbel Raises Cainâ has won major awards at film festivals in Canada, England, Denmark, Germany and France. Copies of the DVD, with a commentary and extra features, are available from its website: www.abelraisescain.com
Alan Abel will be featured in his off-Broadway in 2012, âJester At Large,â along with fellow pranksters Paul Hiatt and Frank Murgalo. Details are to be announced soon on his website: www.alanabel.com

Sherman's March by Ross McElwee is being developed into a feature narrative. And his only non-negotiable in the contract was to allow him to document them making a film about his documentary. They agreed. I can't wait.

Solution Provider Says Proven Best Practices, New Technology Hires are Critical Success Factors
NEW YORK, July 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- For many CIOs, an ITSM strategy is a lot like a game of connect-the-dots. They've got a ticketing system for incident management, maybe even the beginnings of a configuration management database (CMDB), and perhaps some cost management functions that could be as simple as a spreadsheet – all valid pieces of ITSM. Too often, however, they are disparate systems relying on different toolsets that are not yet integrated leaving one hand never really sure what the other is doing. According to Logicalis US, an international IT solutions and managed services provider (www.us.logicalis.com), while companies may have all the dots, to have a fully functioning ITSM strategy, they've got to connect them together in a meaningful way.
"Many IT environments evolved over the years in response to the dictates of circumstance and short-term crises," says Mike Alley, Director of ITSM for Logicalis US. "We are on the threshold of the day when the IT infrastructure can respond dynamically to change according to processes and parameters spelled out in advance in an effective ITSM strategy. As the pace of business and IT races faster and faster, the organizations that succeed are going to be those that use ITSM best practices to ensure that business and technology are pulling together in the same direction. Without an effective ITSM strategy in place, circumstance will continue to make your decisions for you."

I guess today is as good a day as any for another lineup shakeup. I haven't seen anything written on it yet, so who knows if it's a temporary thing or a big change:
Here it is according to Yahoo:
1: Lewis
2: Burriss
3: Winn
4: Molina
5: Rowand
6: Sandoval
7: Ishikawa
8: Renteria
Interesting to at least see Fred Lewis and Aaron Rowand moving up in the order.
Hey, you know what, that's still a terrible lineup.

Time is critical during a heart attack. The national standard for opening a blocked coronary artery – called the "door to balloon time" or D2B – is 90 minutes.
King's Daughters Code: Heart program meets this standard consistently. Our average D2B is just 52 minutes, well below the national benchmark.
Not only that, we achieve the 90-minute standard for 95 percent of all patients who come to us for balloon angioplasty, including time spent at other hospitals before transfer to KDMC.
We are so successful because we take heart care seriously.
Our heart specialists – cardiologists, emergency physicians, nurses, technologists – are on call and available to provide the highest level of care and expertise for your heart 24/7/365.

Last year, our heart surgery team performed 468 coronary bypasses. That's more than triple the number performed by the southeast Kentucky alternative.
And King's Daughters Medical Center doesn't have just one heart surgeon. We have three:
When it comes to world-class care for your heart and vascular system, King's Daughters makes it easy for you to get the care you deserve.
We have more than 50 experts in heart and vascular care, who maintain offices throughout the region. Whether you need a cardiologist in Pikeville or a vascular surgeon in Paintsville; an electrophysiologist in Louisa or a heart surgeon in Prestonsburg, we've got you covered. In fact, King's Daughters heart and vascular specialists bring their expertise to more locations across southeast Kentucky than any other facility.
Combined, our 17 cardiologists, four vascular surgeons, three cardiothoracic surgeons, three cardiac anesthesiologists, two electrophysiologists, two interventional radiologists and 25 advanced practitioners add up to the right choice for the ONE you.
Last year, the people of Southeast Kentucky chose King's Daughters for heart care nearly 34,000 times! That includes visits to see our cardiologists, tests and procedures, hospital stays and surgeries.
We're honored to be such an important part of your lives, your families and the community. We pledge to always provide world-class care for your heart, including an intense focus on quality results, compassionate care, and prevention.
If you want to know more about heart care at King's Daughters – just ask us. Or a neighbor. Chances are, they have first-hand experience.

The Michigan attorney general joined the federal government's lawsuit Thursday seeking to stop the merger of American Airlines and US Airways.Michigan is the seventh state to join the lawsuit, which says the merger is anti-competitive, would cut service at some airports, and would hurt consumers with higher ticket prices and fees.The Justice Department filed an amended complaint in federal district court that added Michigan to the plaintiffs. Texas, Arizona, Tennessee, Virginia, Florida, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia were part of the original suit.The airlines reiterated their readiness to present the benefits of the merger in court."The decision of the Attorney General of Michigan to join the Department of Justice does not diminish the strength of our case, nor our determination to complete this transaction and deliver the benefits of the combination to the customers and communities we serve," the carriers said in a joint statement."Both American Airlines and US Airways want the opportunity to compete together to enhance competition with the largest airlines in the U.S. — United, Delta and Southwest — and a number of fast-growing low-cost carriers. We look forward to our day in court."U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly set a Nov. 25 trial date for the antitrust suit.Separately, US Airways said a busy summer travel season boosted its passenger traffic by 5.6 percent in August.The carrier said that it increased capacity 5.1 percent in August and that its consolidated load factor rose 0.5 percentage point to 87.4 percent."Despite challenging weather conditions and high load factors, our team delivered phenomenal operating results throughout the summer, and we look forward to continuing that trend into the fall," US Airways President Scott Kirby said.Unit revenue also increased about 5 percent in August compared with the same month last year, the carrier said.

The following email exchange between a visitor to the About Alcoholism site and Guide BuddyT graphically illustrates how long-time alcohol abuse can affect not only the person doing the drinking, but friends and family members as well.
The following exchange began on Sunday, June 17, 2001 with an email from someone we shall call "E" with the following subject line:
How Long to Live?6/17/01 9:38 p.m.
From "E" -- Jaundice all over, legs look like tree trunks, lost weight from waist up, constant bloody nose, my urine is very seldom. I am on a diuretic. I have irreversible liver disease and my kidneys are failing. This is all due to alcohol. I am 40 years old (female) and was told it could be 2 days but maybe up to 6 months -- this was 3 weeks ago -- and nothing else can be done. I have read numerous articles, but I need to know the real truth in order to prepare my friends and family. Will I need to be in a hospice? What behaviors am I going to actually go through. Thank you.
6/17/01 9:40 p.m.
From BuddyT -- Why do you think the doctors are not telling you the truth?
6/17/01 9:51 p.m.
From "E" -- It just doesn't seem that there is that much time left? And I am too scared to ask in person so, I thought there would be others or yourself who may have witnessed someone in my state and had a more precise answer.
6/17/01 10:06 p.m.
From BuddyT -- Yes, unfortunately I have witnessed someone in the last stages of liver disease. I wrote about it once.
If you really want to know the truth, and you want to prepare your family with the truth, I would suggest asking your doctor to give you the details.
I'm not a physician and I don't give medical opinions, but it sounds like to me it would require a liver transplant in order for you to live much longer.
Are you still drinking? You can't get on the transplant list if you are still drinking.
6/17/01 - 6/18/01
From "E" -- No reply.
6/18/01 3:58 p.m.
From BuddyT -- What did you decide to do? Let me hear from you, okay?
6/18/01 11:15 p.m.
From "E's" email address -- She died at 4:30 p.m. from cardiac arrest! Who ever you are please do not respond again.

Listen, we realize this is just a thirty second snippet and that the general reaction from the (invited fanboys at the) premiere earlier this week was through-the-roof ecstatic, but man, this is pretty cornball. With some triumphant, emotional (?) music swelling, Captain America and Thor team up in the same Manhattan street we've seen for the past seven months (does the whole movie take place there?) facing off against some pretty generic-looking aliens (they look exactly like the things from "Battleship"). Anyway, Thor is all like "Bro, we gotta get these dudes." And then Captain America is all like, "Totally bro." A car gets tossed but oh no Captain America gets totes tased in the tummy.

NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - Tulane students and fans will have an entirely new experience when a brand new stadium is complete.
Yulman Stadium will hold 30,000 people. It's taking shape on the north end of the campus. Construction crews are nearly finished building stands and seating areas.
The $70 million project is now in a new phase. The scoreboard is up.
There will eventually be a larger home side of the stadium that will contain club suites, and the other side will house a press box. Seating will completely enclose the field, bringing back the bowl look of the old Tulane Stadium.
The project stirred some controversy among neighbors and others, but it is moving forward. University leaders call it a game changer for Tulane.
"Tulane Stadium was such a historic icon, not only for Tulane students, but also for the bigger community. I think this stadium is going to create new traditions for students that are here and bring alumni back, but more importantly it will be a great resource for the New Orleans community," says Yvette Jones.
The stadium is expected to be complete for the start of next season.

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."
-Richard Buckminster Fuller
We all bring our lives to work and our work home with us. When we try to artificially separate the two, we lose productivity, creativity and effectiveness.

Amicus Curiae
An interested individual or group that files a brief or participates in the oral argument of a particular case but that is not a litigant in that case; the phrase is Latin for "friend of the court." NAF and several other medical organizations with expertise in women's health care filed an amicus brief in the Stenberg v. Carhart (Carhart I) (2000) case on behalf of NAF member Dr. LeRoy Carhart.
back to top
A group of individuals with a unitfied goal or objective. For example, the Congressional Women's Caucus organizes around the promotion of women's issues.
The acceptance for review of a case by a higher court. The United States Supreme Court and other state supreme courts cannot take every case that is brought to their attention. There are just too many cases for these high courts to accept them all. When a case is appealed to a higher court, the party appealing the case will file a petition for certiorari with the court. If the court accepts the case, it will issue a writ of certiorari.
Compelling Interest
During judicial review, when strict scrutiny is applied, a law will be held constitutional if it furthers a compelling state interest. Two examples of compelling state interests that have been found are: (1) the government's interest in having a diverse student body at public institutions of higher education and (2) the government's interest in having campaign finance regulation to prevent the appearance of governmental corruption.
Due Process
The Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution guarantees that no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. There are two components of this due process protection: (1) substantive due process and (2) procedural due process. Substantive due process is the protection afforded to specific rights like freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and the right to privacy. Substantive due process is one of the legal foundations for Supreme Court decisions like Roe v. Wade. Procedural due process is the guarantee that when substantive due process rights are abridged there will be a system or procedure in place in order to make sure that such rights are not being affected in an arbitrary manner. For example, procedural due process guarantees that someone cannot be deprived of their right to hold a political protest in the middle of the street without the a fair hearing in a court of law.
Equal Protection
The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution guarantees equal protection under the law for all citizens. The Equal Protection Clause deals with the equality in application of laws, not the equality of individuals. For example, a law that said that only white men could run for President would violate the Equal Protection Clause because it discriminates against both people of color and women.
Any attempt to block or delay Senate action on a bill or other matter by debating it at length, by offering numerous procedural motions, or by any other delaying or obstructive actions.
Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act
The FACE Act makes it illegal to intimidate, interfere with, or injure someone who provides, or is attempting to obtain, reproductive health care services. This includes not only clinic employees and patients, but those accompanying or assisting patients, like friends or clinic escorts. FACE also punishes those who damage or destroy the clinics themselves. FACE was enacted in 1994 with the help of then-Representative Charles Schumer (D-NY). FACE has been upheld by each of the eight federal district courts that have heard a FACE case; the Supreme Court has chosen not to review any of these cases, essentially reaffirming the constitutionality of FACE.
Health Exception
An exemption from an abortion restriction that allows a woman to obtain an abortion if her health would be jeopardized by continuing her pregnancy. The Supreme Court has held since Roe v. Wade (1973) that a health exception that includes physical as well as psychological health is necessary to make any abortion restriction constitutional, because the woman's health interest overrides any compelling state interest in regulating abortion.
Intermediate Scrutiny
To pass intermediate scrutiny, a law must be substantially related to some important state interest. A law will face intermediate scrutiny by the courts when it makes use of a gender classification. For example, a law stating that women cannot wear shorts while men can shorts would face intermediate scrutiny. Such a law would be struck down because it is not substantially related to a legitimate government interest.
Judicial Bypass
The process by which a minor who is seeking an abortion in a state with mandatory parental involvement laws can ask a judge to set aside those requirements. Through the procedure, a court can waive the state's parental notification or consent requirement if it determines that the minor is sufficiently mature to make her decision without parental involvement, or that having an abortion is in the minor's best interests. The Supreme Court has held since 1979 (Bellotti v. Baird) that state parental involvement statutes must provide for judicial bypass proceedings for minors seeking abortions; it later clarified that states must also conduct those proceedings confidentially and quickly. In reality, many bypass proceedings fall woefully short of this mandate: one study of Pennsylvania's court system found that at least 40 of the state's 60 judicial districts were totally unprepared to handle judicial bypass inquiries. Moreover, anti-choice judges routinely deny young women's requests for the waivers, even when the minor is clearly mature.
Judicial Review
The process of a court examining a law to determine whether it violates the protections of the Constitution. In its examination, a court will apply the appropriate level of scrutiny: (1) strict scrutiny, (2) intermediate scrutiny, or (3) rational basis scrutiny.
Litmus Test
The idea that a judicial nominee must agree with the President's views on a single issue. Candidates for executive office are often asked whether they will apply an "abortion litmus test" to their judicial selection proceedings - meaning that they would only nominate for a judgeship an individual whose attitude about a woman's right to choose matched their own.
The term originalist describes the political philosophy of a jurist who believes laws should only have their original meaning, or their meaning when they were written. The originalist viewpoint is directly opposed to the idea of a "living constitution," or the idea that the Constitution should be interpreted to grow and flex as time goes forward. Originalists do not support the right to privacy because the constitution does not explicitly declare such a right. Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas are originalists. Both have said that they believe Roe v. Wade was incorrectly decided.
Parental Consent/Notification
The requirement in some states that minors must involve their parents in their abortion decision. Mandatory parental involvement statutes can unnecessarily endanger minors seeking abortion services - either by forcing them to tell an unsupportive and potentially abusive parent about their pregnancy, or driving them to seek out an illegal and unsafe provider. In fact, most teens decide on their own to involve at least one parent in their abortion decision - and the ones that don't have a good reason for doing so. According to the Guttmacher Institute, 3 in 10 minors who obtained an abortion without telling a parent did so because they feared family violence.
The idea that there exists a body of fundamental rights that are not explicitly outlined in the Constitution; notably cited by the Supreme Court in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) as the foundation of the constitutional right to privacy. In Roe v. Wade (1973), Justice Blackmun specified that the right to personal privacy was derived from the 14th Amendment's "concept of personal liberty and restrictions upon state action."
Plurality Opinion
The controlling opinion when no majority opinion exists; the majority of the majority. For example, in a nine member court, five justices believe that the plaintiff should win a given case, but only three of them agree on the reasoning behind that decision. The written opinion and the underlying reasoning of those three justices is the controlling decision of the entire court. Planned Parenthood v. Casey was decided in a 5-4 vote with a three-justice plurality opinion written by Justice O'Connor as the decision of the Court.
Rational Basis Scrutiny
This is the lowest level of judicial scrutiny, and most governmental acts that face it will be found constitutional. To pass rational basis scrutiny, a law must be rationally related to a legitimate state interest. All laws that face judicial review but do not infringe on a fundamental constitutional right or make a classification based on gender will face rational basis scrutiny. For example, a law saying that dogs must be licensed would face rational basis scrutiny. Such a law would be constitutional because it furthers legitimate state interests like the desire to know who owns a particular dog in case of injury caused by that dog.
Right to Privacy
The right to make decisions about one's body and private life without interference from the government. This right is not given explicitly in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights but has been found by the Supreme Court to be implied by a number of those rights in the Constitution, such as the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures, and the due process guarantees. The right to privacy is the basis for a woman's right to choose as stated in Roe v. Wade.
Stare Decisis
The principle that courts must abide by prior judicial decisions when the same points arise in litigation; the phrase is Latin for "to stand by things decided." This adherence to judicial precedence ensures stability and continuity in the judicial system and judges are largely reluctant to overturn decisions of law.
"Strict Constructionist"
Jurist who interprets the Constitution literally and rejects the idea of implied rights, including the right to privacy. Judges who follow strict constructionism are generally assumed to be opposed to a woman's right to choose. During the 2000 presidential campaign, then-Governor Bush (R) repeatedly stated he would appoint only "strict constructionists" to the Supreme Court. Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas are often described as "strict constructionists."
Strict Scrutiny
The highest level of judicial review that can be applied to a statute, the "strict scrutiny" standard says that laws that place restrictions on freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution (such as freedom of speech) must be narrowly tailored and necessary to serve a compelling state interest. The Supreme Court's landmark Roe v. Wade (1973) decision applied the "strict scrutiny" standard to Texas' criminal abortion statutes and declared that the constitutional right to privacy encompassed the right of women to make decisions about their pregnancy.
Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers (TRAP) Laws
Laws that impose medically unnecessary regulations on reproductive health care providers and facilities. The ultimate goal of these arbitrary regulations is to make the cost of operating a clinic so high that it becomes impossible for facilities to continue to provide abortion services. TRAP regulations can be as trivial as mandating the size of janitorial closets or doorways, or as outrageous as requiring the clinic to allow the state department of health access to confidential patient records. The Supreme Court recently refused to hear the appeal of a South Carolina clinic in Greenville Women's Clinic v. South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, in which the clinic had sued to overturn the state's burdensome TRAP regulations; see NAF's amicus curiae brief in this case (PDF file, 191K).
Undue Burden
The current test applied to see whether state regulations on abortion are constitutional, the "undue burden" analysis determines that abortion restrictions are unconstitutional when they place a "substantial obstacle" in the path of a woman seeking an abortion. In Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey (1992), the Court ruled that laws that infringed on a woman's right to an abortion before fetal viability were no longer subject to the highest level of judicial review (the strict scrutiny standard applied in Roe v. Wade). Instead, the Supreme Court instructed courts across the country to use the less rigorous and more subjective "undue burden" standard. The application of the "undue burden" standard allowed anti-choice state legislatures to employ a wide array of measures to restrict abortion access, including mandatory waiting periods and biased "informed consent" laws.

I'm generally a baseball only/superbowl kinda gal, but if there's a team that I can put myself behind in other sports, I find myself more willing to root for them. Working for event staff at BYU gave me a love for Cougar football (I'll always root for them now). I don't really have any set affiliation with a basketball team and that's due to the lack of teams within the state of Missouri. But since I lived in Utah for a good chunk of time, I find myself really excited about them being in the playoffs.
So. What about everyone else? Do you care about basketball? Do you have a team that you cheer for just for the home town team factor? Or is it all just a big joke for you?

The Historic Mansion House at night
The Historic Mansion House
Where else in the world could you find a remarkable property like this, located in an enchanted bay on an enchanted island, with its own helicopter pad just waiting for touchdown?
This amazing property is one of the rare few that sits right on the water with your own wharf running out from your lower deck. Only on a boat can you get closer to the sea
This architecturally designed house with stunning 270 degree sea views compliments and makes the most of it's amazing site.
Imagine hopping in a rowboat to visit friends - or taking a walk over a bush-fringed track to get to a neighbour's barbeque, or just sitting in silence, listening to keruru crashing through the foliage, weka digging up your garden and tui outwarbling any other songster around. Imagine this is available to you just 30 minutes by ferry from Sandspit, a coastal settlement 45 minutes by carNorth of Auckland.
Kawau Island is that place and given that it's 90 per cent privately owned, it's neither exclusive nor difficult to get a foothold on this historically-rich island. In its time Kawau has hosted them all – Maori, miners, farmers, a New Zealand governor, dignitaries, top brass, zebras, monkeys and more recently, the holidaying hoi polloi when Dominion Breweries ran Mansion House and surrounds as a pub. Now, although only 48 permanent residents live here, Kawau is mostly enjoyed by the 250 families who have holiday homes on the island, and since the residential property sizes range from .05 ha to 40 ha (1/8 to 100 acres), it doesn't feel in the least like a suburb of Auckland. The island offers everything from architecturally designed masterpieces with pools and tennis courts, to bush baches and sections waiting for inspiration. Bush and water views are a given and it's not hard to find a place with no other houses in sight.
So what will you do here? You will time travel to a not-so-distant past. Kawau is the place to come for a Swallows & Amazons summer. The tiny 5 x 8 km island is mostly car-free with just two short roads but there are plenty of boaties, kayaks, dinghies, little coves and swimming beaches as well as numerous wharves to jump off. Twitchers will love spotting fantails, sea birds, silver-eyes, grey warblers but even non-birders will be captivated by the kookaburras, rosellas and wekas who have made the island their home.
Of course you could just come here to do nothing but relax on the deck of your new holiday home and stare at the deep blue-green sea and shifting light on the hills and marvel at how close yet how far this rustic haven isfrom the city.
Day 1:
Drive to Sandspit, just 10 minutes from Warkworth and park in the safe car park just before you reach the main wharf. You will be collected from Sandspit wharf and taken on a boat tour of the settled coastline of Kawau Island. At the completion of the boat tour you will check into Kawau Lodge and relax with a bottle of local Matakana wine, while perusing the listings of Kawau properties currently on the market. Enjoy dinner with your hosts who will be happy to answer any questions that may have arisen during the day.
Day 2:
After a leisurely breakfast on your deck overlooking the Cove, Dave will take you to inspect any properties that are of interest to you before transferring you back to Sandspit. Total cost only $250 per couple or $200 per individual and this includes the boat transfers, dinner, bed and breakfast at the lodge, and the complimentary bottle of local Matakana wine.
To book your stay and embark on your Kawau Island Experience contact Dave or Helen at Kawau Lodge

Hudson (WQOW)-Representative
Tammy Baldwin made a stop at the Democratic Party Office in Hudson on Friday along with Minnesota Senator
Amy Klobuchar.
During her visit she talked to
volunteers at a senior-to-senior phone bank about the importance of Medicare
"I was raised by my
grandparents so I got a chance as a young person to see the value of both
Medicare and social security to our family's economic security. I believe that
they're not just programs they're promises and they're promises that I will not
break," says Representative Tammy Baldwin.
While in western Wisconsin she also spoke about job creation
in the state and the need for a focus on manufacturing.
"We're a state that makes
things and yet manufacturing has seen real challenges as paper mills have
closed, factories have shut down, we've seen jobs go over seas," says Baldwin.
Baldwin talked about the need to
bring jobs back to America.
"In manufacturing we also need
buy America
policies. If we're going to be using U.S.
tax dollars for our defense and our homeland security we ought to be supporting
U.S. jobs with those U.S. tax dollars," says Baldwin.
"I'm not just focusing on manufacturing, it's a big part of our economy
but the health of our agricultural sector is as important, if we're going to
build an economy built to last we need to make the basic investments in
education, research and infrastructure."
Thompson was also in western Wisconsin
earlier this week.

With Thursday being the 7th anniversary of September 11th, Lubbock's Red Cross is honoring some very special heroes in the Hub City. We're honoring them as well by telling their stories.
It was a sunny Father's Day in June of 2006. Many people gathered at Buffalo Springs Lake to watch the boat races. Dr. Ron Cook was off work enjoying the day with his son, but little did he know this lake would soon turn into an emergency room. "All of a sudden we saw this boat hit, go straight up in the air turn upside down hit the water upside down and then when it bounced it flipped over and landed upright," said Cook.
Mark Stargel, 18, a volunteer with the races, was near the shore on a jet ski when a boat going more than 100 miles per hour, lost control and collided with his jet ski. Dr. Cook ran to the scene. "They were lifting him out of the water, when I had arrived to that side of the lake and he was conscious and I saw that he was conscious which just amazed me that he was awake," said Cook.
Mark tragically lost his left leg in the accident. "I immediately pulled off my belt and tied it just right above his knee to cut off the bleeding so he wouldn't bleed out," said Cook.
But Dr. Cook doesn't consider himself any sort of hero. "I don't think I did anything different than what anybody else would have done anyway," said Cook.
Mark's parents say they are proud of their son and the strength he showed even on the day of the accident. "My son was lying in the back of the pickup bed and he grabbed my arm and said dad I'm going to be ok," said Bob Stargel.
Two years later Nancy and Bob Stargel say he is doing just fine. He got a prosthetic leg three months after the accident. Today mark is just your typical college student at the University of North Texas studying Radio/TV. "He's ok today, the Lord has taken care of him and we just ask that everyone that is willing to help someone else, that they will help someone else and reach out to other people," said Mr. Stargel.
"Mark is a really neat guy, very fortunate, but like I said it's not my doing it was God's hand that had everybody there at the right moment because he could have easily died," said Cook.
Nancy says Mark has a message for Dr. Cook. "He said Dr. Cook is very humble and Mark says I really like him and he says Dr. Cook, I owe you a belt," said Mrs. Stargel.
The Stargels say they couldn't be more thankful for Dr. Cook that day. "Dr. Cook thank you so much for helping our son that day and be willing to give first aid to him and still being a friend to him and we appreciate you and we will always be eternally grateful for you helping our son live," said Mrs. Stargel.
"We just ask that he be blessed. He was a blessing and I'm sure he's been a blessing to many other people," said Mr. Stargel. "Dr. Cook is a hero very much so," said Mrs. Stargel.
