Planned Parenthood Celebration Jolted by Abortion Survivor TED HARVEY
She sings the anthem to applause, then her secret is revealed to stunned silence.
Gianna Jessen
I was leaving the House chambers for the weekend when our Democrat speaker of the House announced that the coming Monday would be the final day of this year's General Assembly. He went on to state that there were still numerous resolutions on the calendar which we would need to be addressed prior to the summer adjournment. Interestingly, he specifically mentioned that one of the resolutions we would be hearing was being carried by the House Majority Leader Alice Madden, honoring the 90th anniversary of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains.
As a strong pro-life legislator I was disgusted by the idea that we would pass a resolution honoring this 90-year legacy of genocide. I drove home that night wondering what I could say that might pierce the darkness during the debate on this heinous resolution.
On Saturday morning, I took my 8-year-old son up to the mountains to go white-water rafting. The trip lasted all day. As we were driving home, exhausted and hungry, I remembered that I had accepted an invitation to attend a fundraising dinner that night for a local pro-life organization. One of my most respected mentors had personally called me several weeks earlier and asked me to attend, so I knew I'd have to clean up and head over.
After our meal, the executive director of the organization introduced the keynote speaker. I looked up and saw walking to the stage a handicapped young lady being assisted to the microphone by a young man holding a guitar.
Her name was Gianna Jessen.
Gianna said "Hello," welcomed everyone, and then sang three of the most beautiful Christian songs I have ever heard.
She then began to give her testimony. When her biological mother was 17 years old and seven and a half months pregnant, she went to a Planned Parenthood clinic to have an abortion. As God would have it, the abortion failed and a beautiful 2-pound baby girl was brought into the world. Unfortunately, she was born with cerebral palsy and the doctors thought that she would never survive. The doctors were wrong.
Imagine the timing! A survivor of a Planned Parenthood abortion arrived in town just days before the Colorado House of Representatives was to celebrate Planned Parenthood's "wonderful" work.
As I listened to Gianna's amazing testimony, the Lord inspired me to ask her if she could stay in Denver until Monday morning so that I could introduce her on the floor of the House and tell her story. Perhaps she could even begin the final day's session by singing our country's national anthem!
To my surprise she said she would seriously consider it. If she were to agree, she wanted her accompanying guitarist to stay as well. A lady standing in line behind me waiting to meet Gianna overheard our conversation and said that she would be willing to pay for the guitarist's room. Gianna then said that she would think about it.
As I was driving home from the banquet, my cell phone rang. It was Gianna, and she immediately said, "I'm in, let's ruin this celebration." Praise God!
When Monday morning came, I awoke at 6 a.m. to write my speech before heading to the Capitol. As I wrote down the words, I could sense God's help and I knew that this was going to be a powerful moment for the pro-life movement.
Following a committee hearing, I rushed into the House chambers just as the opening morning prayer was about to be given. Between the prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, I wrote a quick note to the speaker of the House explaining that Gianna is an advocate for cerebral palsy. I took the note to the speaker and asked if I could have my friend open the last day of session by singing the national anthem. Without any hesitation the speaker took the microphone and said, "Before we begin, Representative Harvey has made available for us Gianna Jessen to sing the national anthem."
Gianna sang the most amazing rendition of The Star Spangled Banner that you could possibly imagine. Every person in the entire chamber was completely still, quiet and in awe of this frail young lady's voice.
Due to her cerebral palsy, Gianna often loses her balance, and shortly after starting to sing she grabbed my arm to stabilize herself, and I could tell that she was shaking. Suddenly, midway through the song, she forgot the words and began to hum and then said, "Please forgive me; I am so nervous." She then immediately began singing again and every House member and every guest throughout the chambers began to sing along with her to give her encouragement and to lift her up.
As I looked around the huge hall I listened to the unbelievable melody of Gianna's voice being accompanied by a choir of over 100 voices. I had chills running all over my body, and I knew that I had just witnessed an act of God.
As the song concluded the speaker of the House explained that Gianna has cerebral palsy and is an activist to bring awareness to the disease. "Let us give her a hand not only for her performance today, but also for her advocacy work," he said. The chamber immediately exploded into applause she had them all in the palm of her hand.
The speaker then called the House to order, and we proceeded as usual to allow members to make any announcements or introductions of guests. For dramatic effect, I waited until I was the last person remaining before I introduced Gianna.
As I waited for my turn, I nervously paced back and forth praying to God that he would give me the peace, confidence and the courage necessary to pull off what I knew would be one of the most dramatic and controversial moments of my political career.
While I waited, a prominent reporter from one of the major Denver newspapers walked over to Gianna and told her that her rendition captured the spirit of the national anthem more powerfully than any she had ever heard before.
Finally, I was the last person remaining. So, I proceeded to the microphone and began my speech.
"Members, I would like to introduce you to a new friend and hero of mine her name is Gianna Jessen. She is visiting us today from Nashville, Tennessee, where she is an accomplished recording artist.
At this point the chamber exploded into applause which lasted for 15-to-20 seconds. Gianna had touched their souls.
"She has cerebral palsy and was raised in foster homes before being adopted at the age of four.
"She was born prematurely and weighed only 2 pounds at birth. She remained in the hospital for almost three months. A doctor once said she had a great will to live and that she fought for her life. Eventually she was able to leave the hospital and be placed in foster care.
"Because of her cerebral palsy, her foster mother was told that it was doubtful that she would ever crawl or walk. She could not sit up independently. Through the prayers and dedication of her foster mother, she eventually learned to sit up, crawl, then stand. Shortly before her fourth birthday, she began to walk with leg braces and a walker.
"She continued in physical therapy and after a total of four surgeries, she was able to walk without assistance.
"She still falls sometimes, but she says she has learned how to fall gracefully after falling for 29 years.
"Two years ago, she walked into a local health club and said she wanted a private trainer. At the time her legs could not lift 30 pounds. Today she can leg press 200 pounds.
"She became so physically fit that she began running marathons to raise money and awareness for cerebral palsy. She just returned last week from England where she ran in the London Marathon. It took her more than eight-and-a-half hours to complete. They were taking down the course by the time she made it to the finish line. But she made it, nonetheless. With bloody feet and aching joints, she finished the race.
"Members would you help me recognize a modern-day hero Gianna Jessen?"
At this point the chamber exploded into applause which lasted for 15-to-20 seconds. Gianna had touched their souls.
Ironically, Alice Madden, the majority leader and sponsor of the Planned Parenthood resolution, walked over to Gianna and congratulated her.
As the applause began to die down, I raised my hand to be recognized one more time.
"Mr. Speaker, members, if you would allow me just a few more moments I would appreciate your time.
"My name is Ted Harvey, not Paul Harvey, but, please, let me tell you the rest of the story.
"My name is Ted Harvey, not Paul Harvey, but, please, let me tell you the rest of the story."
"The cause of Gianna's cerebral palsy is not because of some biological freak of nature, but rather the choice of her mother.
"You see when her biological mother was 17-years-old and 7-and-a-half months pregnant, she went to a Planned Parenthood clinic to seek a late-term abortion. The abortionist performed a saline abortion on this 17-year-old girl. This procedure requires the injection of a high concentration of saline into the mother's womb, which the fetus is then bathed in and swallows, which results in the fetus being burned to death, inside and out. Within 24 hours the results are normally an induced, still-born abortion.
"As Gianna can testify, the procedure is not always 100 percent effective. Gianna is an aborted late-term fetus who was born alive. The high concentration of saline in the womb for 24 hours resulted in a lack of oxygen to her brain and is the cause of her cerebral palsy.
"Members, today, we are going to recognize the 90th anniversary of Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood "
BANG! The gavel came down.
Just as I was finishing the last sentence of my speech the climax of the morning the speaker of the House gaveled me down and said, "Representative Harvey, I will allow you to continue your introduction, but not for the purposes of debating a measure now pending before the House."
At which point I said,
"Mr. Speaker, I understand. I just wanted to put a face to what we are celebrating today."
Deafening silence.
I then walked back to my chair shaking like a leaf. The Democrats wouldn't look at me. They were fuming. It was beautiful. I have been in the Legislature for five tough years, and this made it all worthwhile.
The House majority leader wouldn't talk to me the rest of the day.
Was it because I introduced an abortion survivor, or was it because we touched her soul? She could congratulate an inspirational cerebral palsy victim and advocate, but was outraged when she discovered that the person she congratulated was also an abortion survivor.
The headline in The Denver Post the next day read "Abortion Jab Earns Rebuke." The majority leader is quoted as saying, "I think it was amazingly rude to use a human being as an example of his personal politics."
Yes, Representative Madden, Gianna Jessen is a human being. She was when she was in her mother's womb, and she was when she sang the national anthem on the floor of the Colorado House of Representatives.
The paper went on to quote Gianna, stating she was glad I told her story.
"We need to discuss the humanity of it. I'm glad to be able to speak up for children in the womb," she said. "If abortion is about women's rights, where were my rights?"
All I can say is, "Glory to God!" He orchestrated it all, every minute of it, and I was so honored to have been chosen to play a part. May we all continue to be filled with and to fight for the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Well MHGinTN you've nailed it. Sneaky Christians don't hold much water with me.
LB is just so far superior that LB can misrepresent what happened and should not be called on it. Must be thin air up there in superior land.
I don't think that is a valid comparison, but I'll answer anyway.
Is it the usual and accepted procedure for members to make announcements at that point in time without permission or prior knowledge of the subject?
If yes, then I would have no basis to call it deceitful. (I could easily agrue that it is wrong on other grounds, but that's another matter.)
That was so good it's got to be fattening. I'd have loved to see the face of every Commie Democrap in the place.
I don't concur with your interpretation. Isn't it dark under that basket of yours?
I argue that you are misrepresenting what happened. As for me "not being called on it" we're at 208 posts (not all responding to me, of course) and counting.
Why is the comparison invalid?
Suppose, having sponsored the performer, it were your assigned role to introduce the performance and then thank the performer afterwards? If you must, take it out of the sanctuary and put it in some other church-related setting that is more extemporaneous than the regular service.
If you did this, you would have with malice aforethought disrupted a church meeting simply because you disagree with the doctrine expressed at the meeting. Isn't that what Harvey did at the Colorado legislature?
Well, argue all you like, LB, but the simple truth is the Rep. didn't hijack anything, and in fact had every right to make the remarks he made and was about to make when the chair cut him off. That you keep trying to misrepresent that fact shows us all a great deal about your style ... as a last worder, you may now have the last word. Try to be fully honest with it.
Okay you caught me, truth is out. I had too much fun in my school years.
I think its invalid on several grounds going into the apples and oranges of it would throw the current discussion off track.
" sponsored the performer, it were your assigned role to introduce the performance and then thank the performer afterwards?"
Then I would certainly be within my bounds to introduce and then thank the performer. In the process, if I announce she is a homosexual, thats going to make a lot of folk uncomfortable but if she is, then she is and I think I would still be within my bounds. Thats not a deception. (It could very well be disruptive, but thats not relevant.) this is all taking us off track the difference between a church and a legislative body is huge.
"If you must, take it out of the sanctuary and put it in some other church-related setting that is more extemporaneous than the regular service."
Instead of trying to agree on what is a valid comparison and what is not, why dont we stick with what actually and precisely happened?
"If you did this, you would have with malice aforethought disrupted a church meeting simply because you disagree with the doctrine expressed at the meeting. Isn't that what Harvey did at the Colorado legislature?"
No, that is not what he did... not even close as I see it. He made a point a very strong point using the rules and procedures they have in place. He did not deceive. He did not disrupt. If there was an improper disruption, it was not due to him, but rather to those who are offended by the mere mention that this woman survived an abortion at the hands of PP.
What? Just because I asked him why he's so upset? And you certainly didn't address the other questions I asked either:
Do you think the Holy Apostles cared one whit if they caused an agitation? Do you think Jesus cared that he stirred up the scribes and Pharisees?
I think homicide is just as evil as lying, and I can imagine cases where homicide is licit -- for example: I have very good reason to believe that that spare tire you're toting is actually a suicide bomb -- VERY GOOD reason.
Um.. I saw in a recent post where you have converted to the Church. Is your conversion recent? I don't mean to offend you, but the Church doesn't agree with you about lying being just as evil as homicide. Homicide and abortion are considered as crimes crying out to Heaven for vengenance. Lying is not on the same plane.
2484 The gravity of a lie is measured against the nature of the truth it deforms, the circumstances, the intentions of the one who lies, and the harm suffered by its victims. If a lie in itself only constitutes a venial sin, it becomes mortal when it does grave injury to the virtues of justice and charity.
I hardly think Mr. Harvey's actions rose to the level of injuring anyone nor did he do grave injury to the virtues of justice and charity.
Abortion and homicide on the other hand:
2322 From its conception, the child has the right to life. Direct abortion, that is, abortion willed as an end or as a means, is a "criminal" practice (GS 27 § 3), gravely contrary to the moral law. The Church imposes the canonical penalty of excommunication for this crime against human life.
On the other hand, Harvey confronted those who support what the Church has deemed a criminal practice. As I said earlier, they are aiding and abetting a crime. Who bears the greater sin here? Harvey or the Democrats? His sin was venial, theirs is mortal!
2268 The fifth commandment forbids direct and intentional killing as gravely sinful. The murderer and those who cooperate voluntarily in murder commit a sin that cries out to heaven for vengeance.
I hope that has changed your mind that lying is just as evil as homicide.
It was a hypothetical. I'm not standing up for homosexuality. But if it's your own ox being gored you apparently have a different standard of behavior.
It's a story worth repeating and thanks for sharing as I am fairly new here and haven't heard it before.
Yes, precisely that. It's almost a "stopped beating your wife" question, and even worse, in a way, because it diverts the conversation away from the matter at hand to the psychology of LB, which doesn't strike me as especially relevant. It seems calculated to put him on the defensive, which may help you win a logomachy, but won't necessarily advance reason or truth.
Actually what I said was that homicide is just as evil as lying (you put it the other way around -- is "just as evil" commutative?), and I probably should have said "at least as evil". You failed to change my mind, but you did change my language, so that ain't bad.
I am not a "recent" convert in normal uses of "recent". I converted over a decade ago. And I've been reading this stuff, off and on, since, Oh Lord help me, 1966 - so 40 years! Get me my Geritol! NOW!
But let me say this. If you paid attention to what I was saying, you would have seen that I was arguing against LB. My argument structure was:
I think Saint Paul cared several whits if he caused an agitation. It's not always bad to cause one, and not always good, and maybe not always good not to care one way or another. Outcomes matter a little, and the purpose of fighting is to win, or else it's perverse, I think. I disagree with LB about the outcome of this action, but I don't think he's off the wall with his concerns. The question of injury to justice in a deliberative assembly is tricky, I think. Just as a solider in the middle of combat probably ought to think as much has he can ab out the outcomes of his acts of bravery, so a legislator needs to consider if stretching the parliamentary rules here might lead to his being unable to act somewhere else.
I've been doing this a while. I make mistakes, sometimes in thought, often in expression. And often I don't have time to choose my words carefully. Now is one such time. I have to feed some animals then clean myself up to go to a friend's wake. So I may seem brusque or make an error -- like writing "just as" when I mean "at least as", and I hope we won't have to go into whether I have certain feelings, like being upset, and why I have them (too much coffee? not enough Glenlivet?) but can look at the case before us, which is, as far as I can tell: Whether or not Mr. Harvey done good.
I'm inclined to think he did. I just don't think it's a slam dunk.
Man! With your breath who can get close enough to find out?
Did the measure then pass, or not?
Good question. Anyone know?
Ok, you are not worth my time to reply to any more.
You clearly can't follow words that are written.
I said a BABY is one that can survive outside the womb. I also said a BABY's life begins at conception.
That is a no-brainer.
I said a FETUS, by MY definition, is an embryo that CANNOT survive outside the womb.
You are clearly more interested in antagonizing than in discussing, and I don't need to play that game with you. But if you decide you want to engage in an actual discussion, then have at it.
It wasn't calculated to put him on the defensive, it was a valid question and an honest one.
Actually what I said was that homicide is just as evil as lying (you put it the other way around -- is "just as evil" commutative?), and I probably should have said "at least as evil". You failed to change my mind, but you did change my language, so that ain't bad.
Don't exactly know what you're getting at here, I quoted you verbatim from post #153. I copied and pasted your own words into the discussion between you and I.
If I didn't change your mind, are you saying that you are in disagreement with the Church? Please explain your position further.
I am not a "recent" convert in normal uses of "recent". I converted over a decade ago. And I've been reading this stuff, off and on, since, Oh Lord help me, 1966 - so 40 years! Get me my Geritol! NOW!

Wow, I'm sorry about your friend. May God grant them eternal rest and may He give you comfort.
What hypothetical? The "lesbian thing" in the first paragraph?
And I must note that this is inaccurate:
"He was given the floor on the basis and premise that he would introduce a CP advocate about which there is no controversy or disagreement."
This has alredy been coverd in our discussion. He used the time that was normal and expected to introduce visitors nad make announcements. He could have introduced you or I or anyone else at that time. He was NOT given the floor on the basis and premise you claim.
I want to publicly apologize to Delphinium for my previous post.
Delphinium, please forgive me. I didn't mean to make a personal statement about you like that. I meant to say that your post was not worth replying to, not that you personally are not worth replying to.
Please forgive me for my rudeness.
Bump and ping!
God forgive us.
I could weep...
They also describe the girl as a "pro-life advocate," not a CP advocate.
And nowhere do they report that the resolution passed, 24-11.
Hate to say this, but Edwards did his homework!
From The Wisconsin Council on Developmental Disabilities about Cerebral Palsy:
CP often originates when oxygen is cut off to the motor cells in an infant's brain. The oxygen deprivation may occur just prior to birth, during a difficult birth, because of prematurity, infection or by a brain injury in the first two years of life. Once the damage is done it can not be changed, but early therapy and/or surgery may increase abilities.
Living and Aging with Cerebral Palsy
The Merck Manual is used in medical training. Their definition says:
Many different types of injury to the brain can cause cerebral palsy, and most often a specific cause cannot be identified. Birth injuries and poor oxygen supply to the brain before, during, and immediately after birth cause 10 to 15% of cases.
From the Cleveland Clinic/causes of Cerebral Palsy:
Lack of oxygen to the baby's during development or delivery
Why would it be okay (or at least more conscionable) to abort a 6.5 month live fetus than it would a 7.5 month live baby? You're walking an arbitrary, artificial and unnecessary line between fetus and baby.. you say they are BOTH LIFE. I agree.
I think you may be getting really close to seeing the point, I wish I had more time.
Okay, change every where I said "life" and insert baby. The points would still be same. Let's not get caught up in semantics.
#2. You have still avoided the issue. How do you take care out your definition? We've clearly established that care is required to meet your standard of definition for a "baby." That is... that a fetus has to have the potential to live ("could live") outside the womb. If none (zip, zero, nada) can live outside the womb without care then you must by logic deal with it or remove it.
Simply saying ... whether it could survive, AT ALL does not answer the question because none, not one, can survive with out care. What does AT ALL mean? Are you implying a time factor, a quality factor or something else? Does it's heart have to beat outside the womb? Once or twice? Does it have to take a breath? How many?
#3. Now we're getting really warm. Forget about the legal term murder. You agree that a human being has been killed in the process of denying readily available care to a baby.... Okay! ... getting really close to heart of the matter. What is the definition of readily available care that will give the entity a chance to survive AT ALL?
If that is not clear, let me phrase it another way. You belief the difference between a fetus and a baby occurs somewhere between 2 and 5 months gestation. What care does, say, a 4.9-month-gestation fetus need to have a chance AT ALL to survive?
If what a 4.9-month-gestation fetus needs to have a chance AT ALL to survive is not provided, does that end the life of a human being? I realize you have already answered that, but I don't think you see the full implication of that statement. I am hoping by this point you will see that there is one particular type of care that is almost 100% of the time readily available that will more often than not give the 4.9-month-gestation fetus a chance for life beyond the womb. It also applies from conception to birth.
Peace, jw
Yes, we're aware of your opinion. You still didn't answer me: are you obligated to volunteer the additional information about yourself?
I must strongly disagree. No where does it say he was given the floor for on the basis you claimed... no where. You now change the subject from the "basis for the floor" to the content of what he said.
Further you go on to read the fellows mind...
"...turning the topic of discussion to an intended rant against PP."
Sorry, I think we've passed reasonable discussion and I'm through. God bless and best wishes.
You quoted me, but then you said:
...but the Church doesn't agree with you about lying being just as evil as homicide ...
which led to my asking if "just as" is commutative.
But my argument works not much worse even if lying were as bad as homicide. That is, if sometimes you gotta kill a human, how can it be a priori true that it is never okay to lie?
You write:
It wasn't calculated to put him on the defensive, it was a valid question and an honest one.
I respond: Asserting the contrary is not an argument. It's just stating what the argument is about. It may not have been calculated to put him on the defensive. I have no more a window into your soul than you have into his, and e-communications on fora are not a good environment for picking up on the vibes of someone's feelings.
But his upsetittude or non-upsetitude is not to the purpose. My mood is one thing, my arguments another. They neither stand nor fall on my emotional state at the time I present them.
And whatever your intention, if he responds to the question, "What are you so upset about?" what will we learn about his thinking on the morality of lying? I'm upset, somewhat, because a friend died earlier than I would have liked and there's this big hole here where she used to be AND I think her husband is one of the world's truly good guys and I hate to see him suffer,
But I'm just as much of a pedantic, nit-picking, argumentative logic chopper when I feel good. (And thanks for your prayers for the deceased, Ann, and her excellent husband, Richard.)
I think Locomotive Breath has been bear-baited by many of us pro-lifers. I regret it because clearly he has tried to think well about both abortion and telling the truth. I think he has reached the wrong conclusions, but I have reached plenty of wrong conclusions in my life, I mean PLENTY!, so I don't hold that against him. He even has the nerve (da NOIVE!) to think that I have reached the wrong conclusion -- which just shows how out of touch with reality he is.
I want to hear him make his argument against being subtle as a serpent in the Colorado legislature.
Of course, my personal opinion is that if one DIDN't lie to a politician he'd feel all lonely and disappointed. But that's just me.
Speaking of obligations - I need to apologize to you for continuing this argument in public. If you're Christian, you'll understand why...and even if you're not, suffice it to say, this is no way for me to build bridges. Please accept my apology, especially for my snarky attitude.
Thank you but no apology is necessary - this is just an irrelevant debating forum to blow off a few minutes trying out thoughts on things of interest to whoever's here. If I couldn't stand a little give and take then I wouldn't post here. (I've seen worse exchanges in certain church committee meetings - finance is the worst.) If I've said anything that's really truly offensive to you then likewise please accept my apologies.
A lie they cannot possibly believe themselves, unless the Lord has sent them the strong delusion of their desires.
I'm sorry, you were saying that there is no proof that oxygen deprivation caused Cerebral Palsy. Then you added the insult to readers here that believed it that we're in the same category as John Edwards.
It appears you found a site that bolstered your opinion only, when there are sites that provide information to the opposite. This has nothing to do with a links war, this has to do with accuracy. I hardly think that the Cleveland Clinic doesn't know what they are talking about when it comes to Cerebral Palsy and they say one of the causes is oxygen deprivation.
And I'm still having trouble understanding a mechanism how saline in utero causes oxygen deprivation when the oxygen supply comes through the umbilicus.
Here's why. Because they inject toxic levels to induce abortion:
"Surgical abortion involves the use of a mechanical device (suction or vacuum aspirator), surgical instruments (forceps, sharp curette and cervical dilator) and/or long needles (for injecting a deadly concentration of saline).
While you're at that Surgical Abortion site please read this:
Saline Injection or Salt Poisoning Technique
Saline (or other toxic level chemical) injection is performed when a pregnancy is 16 weeks and beyond (when enough amniotic fluid is present to surround the baby.)
Procedure Description:
Note: This procedure may require hospitalization.
A long needle is inserted through the mother's abdomen (belly) into the amniotic sac.
Amniotic fluid is removed from the sac and is replaced by a very strong salt solution meant to kill the baby. By the 4th month of pregnancy, the baby has been drinking and breathing in amniotic fluid to help the organs develop properly. However, when the salt solution is substituted for the normal amniotic fluid, it causes severe burning of the baby's skin, eyes, mouth and lungs.
Labor may begin within 24 hours of the saline injection resulting in the delivery of a badly burned, shriveled, dead baby.
Complications / Side Effects:
Delivery of a Badly Burned Infant
The infant may survive this procedure and be delivered alive. But, may not live for a very long time thereafter.
Future Infertility Problems
The woman may have future infertility problems if the uterus has been badly scarred during this procedure.
Wow. Just wow. This is a riveting story.
Thank you for that extra information. Given my background of adoption I already knew a little about it. It's a horrific technique. I have no reservations at all understanding how someone subjected to this technique, if they survive, can be horribly injured. Please understand that I'm not really trying to be argumentative. However, your post still does not provide the mechanism of hypoxia as the postulated cause for her CP.
In fact there's quite a bit we don't know (and it's probably just as well). Did they do the procedure "improperly" which allowed her to live? Did the procedure induce labor - was she born shortly afterward and survive or did she go full term? Maybe the hypoxia occured after the live birth because her lungs were injured? Aside any political issues, the circumstances of her birth and survival are interesting in their own right.

Cast: Sally (I), Nicola, Louise, Omar Williams, Lee (I), Sandie (I), Cat (I), Vanessa (I), Sammy (I), Phillip Dean
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
There are enough tricky edits in this video to make your head spin. The various split screens, psychedelic effects, jump cuts, awkward angles and fluorescent lighting result in sex scenes that are too fragmented to maintain consistent eroticism. There are a couple decent segments, like when Lee and Sammy hook up on a staircase and he pumps her box in about eight different positions. But why is he wearing plastic wrap on his arms and legs?
The last scene with Omar Williams and Sandie has potential as the two fuck on a stage with easily visible penetration. But the numerous cameras fades, shadow play and uneven lighting ultimately become a distraction even while he nails her asshole doggie-style. Perhaps the best moment comes during an early g/g with Sally and Cat lying on their sides fucking large dildos that look like police nightsticks.

Vt parish breaks ground on new hall
ESSEX Parishioners in Essex who lost part of their church in a fire in 2011 have broken ground on a new parish center.
The Holy Family-St. Lawrence Roman Catholic Church in Essex was hit by lightning. That started a fire that destroyed the 100-year-old recently renovated former barn that served as the meeting hall.
Bishop Salvatore R. Matano, head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington, blessed and broke ground Sunday on the center.
Church officials told the Burlington Free Press the new hall is projected to cost about $1.45 million and will be funded through a combination of the insurance settlement on the old hall and a fundraising drive. The 3,900-square-foot building is to be larger than the old hall.
The parish serves about 1,000 families.MORE IN This Just In

Al-Qaeda's central command has formally renounced its most brutal affiliate in Syria, cutting off all ties with the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), accusing the group of oppressive and seditious behaviour and of spilling "forbidden blood".
The statement, posted on jihadist internet forums and signed by the terror network's "central command", signals al-Qaeda's most robust attempt yet to reassert its authority over the rebellion in Syria after weeks of infighting between rival Islamist rebel groups.

The Case for an Employer Tax Break
Temporary tax relief for businesses who hire new workers can energize the economy.
While the U.S. economy continues to show signs of stabilization, the recovery will likely be quite different than most. With unemployment at its highest level in more than 25 years, we must be willing to consider innovative policies if we are to achieve broad-based economic growth.
Past recoveries have been marked by consumer-led demand and by swift and substantial economic upturns. But most Americans emerged from past downturns far better equipped financially than today to help drive recovery. With the administration and Congress already having done so much, from here we'll need to rely on the corporate sector to lead the way.
The tools are at hand. Modest changes to corporate tax policy can spur job creation. Create the jobs and we'll create consumers to spur growth.
The good news is that the corporate sector as a whole has come through this recession considerably stronger than in the past. Today, leaders of the best companies have proven once again their ability to adapt proactively to a changing environment.
Shareholders have been the beneficiaries. Most companies have handily beaten earnings expectations through much of this year. In the second quarter alone, three-fourths of the S&P 500 beat consensus estimates, and a similar number have rewarded their investors with stock price gains since the beginning of the year.
The true test of success will be measured by delivering growth over several years, not several quarters. Business leaders will have to walk a tightrope—rewarding shareholders in the short term without forsaking investments needed for future growth. Pushing too hard on productivity savings today may mean less investment for tomorrow, particularly investment in a company's most precious resources—its people and products. Ultimately, in a nation where the consumer comprises 70% of economic activity, demand-based growth must be the key to longer-term performance.
This leaves us with a dilemma: Companies need more robust consumer spending to justify increased payrolls, but without increased payrolls, the consumer is less likely to spend. The way to break out is by enacting temporary tax credit for companies willing to reinvest in jobs.
To earn the credit, companies would have to demonstrate an increase in their U.S. employment levels (excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures) year-over-year. And to most effectively encourage businesses to hire new workers, the tax offset must come very close to equalling the additional payroll costs incurred, so the effect on company earnings is negligible. We remain in an environment where there is a reluctance to hire for long-term growth if it means short-term earnings dilution.
Ideally, this tax benefit would be available for the next two fiscal years. The consumer must be reactivated now, without further delay. With such a program, the accelerated benefit from creating more consumers should, over time, more than justify the incremental wage expense to companies after the tax offset is phased out.
Second, the impact of a two-year program on the federal deficit would be relatively modest. Using a conservative set of assumptions, an $18 billion annual program, which represents 10% of estimated corporate tax receipts in the next fiscal year (excluding the $4 billion benefit of increased individual income taxes) could create nearly 600,000 good-paying jobs at the national median income. And this approach to job creation—which would impact government receipts less than 1%—would be much less costly than the more traditional solution of direct government spending.
There is recent precedent to support this program. In Singapore, the central government has implemented a Jobs Credit initiative that provides cash grants to employers on 12% of the first 2,500 Singapore dollars ($1,750) of monthly wages per employee. And unemployment remains among the lowest in the world at 3.3%, even as Singapore's GDP contraction continued along with much of the rest of the global economy. This is not to imply that Singapore's situation is comparable to that of the U.S., nor that its model would be applicable here. It is simply one example of a jobs program that appears to have met with success.
While temporary measures are often taboo in textbook economics, the nation remains in a financial environment that not only gives license for creative responses but requires them. The consumer cannot do it alone, the corporate sector cannot do it alone, nor can the government. Targeted, temporary corporate-tax relief to empower companies to create jobs joins together the public sector and the private sector in a formidable partnership for the good of the overall economy.

Citigroup (NYSE: C ) is sticking to its existing dividend policy for the time being. The massive bank has declared a quarterly common stock distribution of $0.01 per share, to be dispensed on November 22 to shareholders of record as of November 4. That amount keeps the payout in line with all of its predecessors stretching back to February 2009.
The company, which was hard-hit by last decade's financial crisis, reinstated its dividend in March 2011 after a more than two-year hiatus.
The just-declared distribution annualizes to $0.04 per share. That yields less than 0.1% at Citigroup's most recent closing stock price of $51.12.

My brother's girlfriend had a babyshower this past weekend and I made all the dishes for her. I told her about this recipe. I made it for the babyshaoer and got winderful reviews from it. Everyone fell in love with it and have asked me for the recipe. I was surprise because they are use to the tradtional rotel dip. This is a hit and I will be making it from now on for family gatherings. Kudos to Leslie, this is a winner...please give it a try. Tondra from TN
Wow! This dip is so yummy. I made this for my sister's baby shower last weekend and everyone loved it. I had many requests for the recipe! I used a 12 OUNCE jar of roasted red peppers because I really love the taste of the peppers. I also used 1/2 lb. of Monterey Jack cheese and a 1/4 lb. of Co-Jack cheese. That is because I didn't have enough of the one kind. I used 1 TB of grated onion and 1/2 cup of mayo and 1/2 cup of sour cream. It turned out perfect. Thanks for such a great recipe. I'll definitely be making it for future get togethers!
Made this last night. It was good! Great to have a warm dip. I used light cream cheese and light mayo. Still great! Easy too!

My company will be coming into possession of a dataset consisting of approximately 200-300 million records. The source material is csv and is about 150GB uncompressed. We would need to perform an initial load of the data and then updated approximately 1% of the records on a daily basis. We would love to be able to keep the history of each record as well.
We currently use MySQL and it appears that some people are using MySQL and PostgreSQL for databases of this size, but I don't see much hard information about their experiences.
We could definitely get away without normalizing the data and I can envision distributing the information over a lot of servers. How about MongoDB or some other nontraditional datastore?
Does anyone have any thoughts on the feasibility of this sort of endeavor? I appreciate any help you might be able to give.

Box is planning to expand its operations into Japan as well as targeting other countries that are particularly tech-hungry.
Its growth in the UK market, in particular, has also exceeded expectations, showing how much demand there is for cloud-based collaboration, according to the firm.
"Japan is the next major market for us," Aaron Levie, Box's CEO and co-founder, said at the company's annual BoxWorks event in San Francisco.
"You'll see us move to other locations too. Australia, New Zealand, Brazil – some of the other heavily IT-penetrated markets."
You certainly see a difference in cloud readiness that varies from geography to geography so I think we're being really smart about that and trying to expand first into the areas that are the most ready and the most cloud friendly.
An office in Japan will be open by early next year, according to Whitney Bouck, Box's senior vice president and general manager of enterprise.
"We're also looking at more European expansion and figuring out where we go next. The Nordics seem like a very natural place to go," Bouck told Cloud Pro.
In 2012, Box opened its UK headquarters to mark its foray into European waters. It aimed to have 100 employees based in the UK by the end of 2013 – a target Bouck says the company is likely to smash.
"We're already at 70 or so people. It's happened ridiculously fast. From an employee perspective and having feet on the street there to engage directly with customers we're ahead of plan and in a great way," she said.
"On the revenue side, as in our customers actually buying from us, we're seeing faster growth in Europe than we are in the US. It's not surprising in a way because Europe is maybe a year behind where we were in the US of putting people all over the country and making sure they had face-to-face relationships. We're growing at 160 per cent year-on-year, and Europe is something like 3X that. It's a lovely trend."
In addition to geographical expansion, Box is also focused on broadening its presence in vertical sectors such as healthcare and media and entertainment, Bouck said.
"I think there is different appetite [around the world] as some parts of the world are more technologically advanced than others. You certainly see a difference in cloud readiness that varies from geography to geography so I think we're being really smart about that and trying to expand first into the areas that are the most ready and the most cloud friendly," Bouck added.
"We're now seeing a pace of change that is just so fast. It's like trying to assemble the airplane while you're mid flight. How on earth do you stay with it, let alone ahead of it?"

Quiet Nights
by Diana Krall
- Record Label: Verve
- Release Date: Mar 31, 2009
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Ogerman charts emphasize minor keys, creating a moody emotional palette for the album. And, as usual, Krall's honeyed voice and carefully chiseled playing are as spare and perfect on every cut as her core quartet's accompaniment.
Ogerman might be the only arranger alive who can make an overstuffed orchestra sound so distant and wistful, and Krall, suddenly channeling Julie London, is the taciturn symphony's whispery match.
Quiet Nights is still a gorgeous wallow in high-gloss pop romanticism.
Tapping into the sensuous mode of such classic divas of desire as Julie London and Peggy Lee, Diana Krall is at her most seductive on this bossa nova-flavored collaboration with Claus Ogerman.
MojoThe result is fabulous, Ogerman framing Krall's sultry, languorous delivery with arrangements that are opulent yet don't swamp her voice. [Jul 2009, p.93]
There may be a bit too much classic good taste on Quiet Nights--there is no reinterpretation, only homage--but that's not quite a problem because Krall knows enough to lay back, to never push, only to glide upon the gossamer surface.
The line between dreamy and sleepy is a fine one, and many jazz singers have fallen on the wrong side of it when attempting bossa nova. Diana Krall, however, negotiates it skillfully on Quiet Nights, her first album of all bossas.
While fans looking for a classic, none-too-jarring soundtrack for a romantic evening surely will follow this record happily into their good night, Krall has offered us more than that in the past.

DavidW.Apr 20, 2009I love Bossa Nova and also I enjoyed Diana Krall's last album very much. But the combination just doesn' t work out. Diana I love Bossa Nova and also I enjoyed Diana Krall's last album very much. But the combination just doesn' t work out. Diana Krall's voice seems out of place, out of tune. The orchestra sounds spiritless and drowsy instead of laid back. The interpretations are lukewarm and uninspired. What a disappointment.… Full Review »
DaveKApr 14, 2009Individually the songs are beautiful but together they induce sleep. Lacks the "snap" of some of the arrangements on "Look of Love."
RayBApr 14, 2009Not a best effort, Ms. Krall tries to break her formidable mold, and delivers a very nice smooth, and rather boring album. I use it as Not a best effort, Ms. Krall tries to break her formidable mold, and delivers a very nice smooth, and rather boring album. I use it as background music. During dinner. When no one is particularly listening. There is virtually no contrast here, and her voice is too soft and breathyt. I think it's supposed to be romantic, but it comes across as amateurish. She can do so much better than this. Also, the full orchestra used to back her up is so far in the background that it might as well not be there. I guess someone wanted a truly safe album. Only for die hard Krall fans. Or people who don't like jazz much. And in hotel lobbies. Rest homes. Funeral home restrooms.… Full Review »
