Despite Study's Claims, Expert Insists Unborn Babies Do Feel Pain-- Pediatrician Suspects JAMA Article of Promoting Pro-Abortion Agenda
By Mary RettigAugust 26, 2005
(AgapePress) - Dr. Jean Wright, M.D., a Christian pediatrician and expert on fetal development, disputes the conclusions of a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that claims unborn babies feel no pain. She says that finding is wrong, and she suspects the authors of the study have an agenda.
After completing their research, the investigators came to the conclusion that laws requiring discussion of fetal pain before a second trimester abortion should not be passed. Wright says they drew that conclusion because they are convinced babies in the womb do not feel pain until they are at least 28 weeks old. But Wright, who serves as Vice President over Women and Children at Memorial Health Center in Savanna, Georgia, says her professional experience has repeatedly negated that notion.
"Every day that I stand in our neonatal intensive care unit and see an infant that's 25, 26, or 28 weeks gestation, I don't have to have any of these fancy studies to say [whether these infants] feel pain," she contends, "because here's the same baby that, inside, you would be measuring and referring to as a fetus, that I'm seeing outside and calling him a premie baby. And that data is overwhelming."
According to the Christian doctor, those NICU infants are unmistakably aware of pain, and yet the authors of the fetal pain study continue to deny that unborn babies at the same stages of development as these premature babies are able to sense painful stimuli. She finds it hard to understand why these scientists refuse to consider that type of tangible evidence -- unless, perhaps, they are not entirely objective.
Of course, Wright points out, the JAMA editor refuted the idea that the article was in any way politically motivated -- an assertion that compels the doctor to smile. "I can't help but grin when I see that reaction," she notes, "because the very first paragraph of this article frames this piece in response to the legislation that we would call the Unborn Pain Awareness Act." In other words," she says, the authors "start in their very first paragraph to frame their article in the context of legislation -- and that is politics."
Regardless of what that editor said, Wright is convinced the article was written for political purposes. But although she expects the report in the AMA's journal will, as one researcher said, "stir up a hornets' nest," the pro-family pediatrician says the controversy may be necessary in order to get more people to examine the evidence that unborn babies really do feel pain.

Man fined for revealing wife's affair on shop's neon sign
A French man has been fined for putting up a neon sign outside his pet shop to highlight his wife's affair.
Robert Sofolowski was fined 50,000 Francs, (about £4,780) for infringing Patrice Chopin's right to privacy, after revealing his wife was having an affair with the banker.
The 42-year-old from Nancy says he'll appeal and continue his fight for wronged husbands everywhere, The Times reports.
The neon sign read: "If your wife has an account at the bank, Patrice Chopin will not only take care of her money. Her intimacy interests him as well."
After the ruling he said: "I am the one who has been wronged. There is no reason for cuckolds like myself to hide themselves away."
His barrister, Gérard Michel, adds: "My client does not call Mr Chopin's private life into question, but his professional life. He seduces his customers while at work. This affair is therefore in the public domain."

Halo-scan
I want to cuss out my comments section due to the fact that they have been somewhat on the fritz here lately. But I must be getting older and more mature because I won't. I do wish they would get it together and get on with it. Especially since someone got interested enough to say something about relativity. I was VERY interested in what he had to say.
Old Sayings
You know the old saying, don't rock the boat? I say if your boat sinks that easy that it can't take a few waves find a new one or I hope you have on a life preserver because I'm a rockin it.

Back to anti-gun control
from: Townhall.com soapbox
The experiences in the U.K. and Australia, two island nations whose borders are much easier to monitor, should also give Canadian gun controllers some pause. The British government banned handguns in 1997 but recently reported that gun crime in England and Wales nearly doubled in the four years from 1998-99 to 2002-03. ...since 1996 the serious-violent crime rate has soared by 69 percent; robbery is up 45 percent, and murders up 54 percent. Before the law, armed robberies had fallen 50 percent from 1993 to 1997, but as soon as handguns were banned the robbery rate shot back up, almost to its 1993 level. The 2000 International Crime Victimization Survey, the last survey completed, shows the violent-crime rate in England and Wales was twice the rate of that in the U.S. ...Australia has also seen its violent-crime rates soar immediately after its 1996 Port Arthur gun-control measures. Violent crime rates averaged 32-percent higher in the six years after the law was passed (from 1997 to 2002) than they did in 1995. The same comparisons for armed-robbery rates showed increases of 74 percent. During the 1990s, just as Britain and Australia were more severely regulating guns, the U.S. was greatly liberalizing individuals' abilities to carry firearms. Thirty seven of the fifty states now have so-called right-to-carry laws that let law-abiding adults carry concealed handguns after passing a criminal background check and paying a fee. Only half the states require some training, usually around three to five hours. Yet crime has fallen even faster in these states than the national average.

Panhandlers and beggars
This is to all the local governments who want to outlaw begging. Just keep it up and I guarantee you God will get pissed off. And I don't know about you but that is the last thing I want to do.
For those of you who may think as a Christian I should not use the word piss consider this:
1Sa 25:22 So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
1Sa 25:34 For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting, thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
1Ki 14:10 Therefore behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
1Ki 16:11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolk, nor of his friends.
1Ki 21:21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity,310 and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
2Ki 9:8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:
I have wondered some (but not much) what these who piss against a wall types were but then I realized I was one of those kind of people. Lets see if I can sumarize myself for you. Right is right and wrong is wrong, and today that type of attitude appears to be like pissing against a wall. I suppose if I piss against a wall long enough I will wear it out............OK........... I'll keep on pissing.

This is still amazing me.
How many articles from my blog turn up at the top of web searches. There are a couple of things this tells me. One: that the tracking software is not too accurate, and that a whole lot more people are visiting my site than I even imagined.
Why do I have to say anything about this. I dunno. maybe excitement.

What do you think of when you hear the word "infamy"......of how a nation can fight to the death to defend it's freedom-then pass it on to the vanquished--with love.

Dark Matter
I have always had an uncomfortable feeling when ever any one ever mentioned this invisible matter. And in looking around Wikipedia ran across a definition for event horizon. The description of what falling into a black hole would be like. In the finale moment The visibility of the object become 0 but the mass of the object become infinite.
Here is my problem with this assuming that this is so and I am then only one black hole would be sufficient to swallow up the universe, but a black hole only has a limited effect area. My question is where did all of this unlimited gravitational effect go? It certainly is not in this universe.
The event horizon for an outside observer really acts as a horizon. He sees an object falling toward the horizon approaching it, but (in his own proper time) never reaching it. In his observations the object goes slower and slower toward the horizon and at the same time the redshift increases beyond bounds to infinity. Also the intensity of the falling object quickly becomes zero. In a finite time the outside observer will receive the last photon from the falling object. He will never see the falling object passing through the event horizon.

The wrong path
If you have to lie to get your way you will have to lie to keep your way. A lie equals nothing so your path is nothing. Wondering why you aren't getting where you want to with yourself? There is no dwelling place for liars and no path to walk -it is a nowhere. Be a liar and be nowhere......get nowhere.

A positive versus a negative attitude
If I died tommorrow my job here on earth is finished.
If I am alive tomorrow my work here on earth is not done.
Look at these two sentences and tell which is more positive.

Bruce Almighty
I finally broke down and rented this movie. The reason I wouldn't before is because I felt that it was blasphemous to have a man take over the job of God and that some 'script writers' couldn't possible understand God well enough to Get him right. But for some reason or out of curiosity I got it anyway.
I was pleased to find that they did not try to sell God short and that the movie was about the absurdity of a man trying to be God and that we can not possibly understand the intricacies of operating the human race.
Bruce finally get's it near the end of the movie when God tell's him to be the miracle.
I think that is apt advice for us all. There are people out there praying for a miracle from God and we as people need to be sensative to giving. To be a vessel of God's, providing a miracle of a dollar or a can of food to a homeless man begging at the on/off ramp of the freeway ect. ect. I am sure that I could go on and on about all the little things that we can do for each other, should do for each other, but that is up to all of you to figure those things out if for no other reason than I don't want to abnormally influence anyones creative abilities-besides there is no way for me to think of all of them myself.
I personally have a heart for the homeless so it is an aching dream of mine that if I should come across a large sum of money via the lottery that the majority of my tithe and charitable donations will go twards building and maintaining a homeless shelter.
Jesus said to the rich young man to "sell all that he had and give it to the poor".
So let us all take this as some good advice and be a "miracle for someone". Maybe just maybe instead of someone getting mad at God they will believe in him and maybe another person can be saved, and maybe they will in turn help another person. Jesus say's "the poor will be with you alway's", so I don't think this ol' earth will run out of anybody to help.

Adult stem cell research
We don't need no stinking embryonic stem cell research. And here is a link or two to help you' all check it for your self.
CNN
BBC
The Center For Bio Ethics And Human Dignity
Now that the research is maturing into full blown succsessful patient tests 'Why should we spend a nickle on a very divisive item such as embryo stem cell research HMMM?
Only people who want to fight would. Well OK ; it's your money but you could be pouring it into adult stem-cell research rather than spending it on marketing stuff that will only make God mad. A very unprofitable venture I assure you.

The Prince of Pot
Ok this guy is selling Marijuana seeds over the internet and 75% of his business is here in the U.S.. He is being arrested and with out the extradition process being brought here for trial. In which he will no doubt be found guilty and sentanced to a long time in prison.
Talk about screwing up my priority mechanism. I hate illegal drugs but I also don't want our government acting imperialistic either. Here is an article reporting on the very recent matter.
"I think you have to put aside Mr. Emery and his politics and look at the bigger issue, which is, to what extent should Canada alter its priorities and resources with respects to policing cannabis?" he told CTV News Vancouver.
"To what extent should we extradite people to face penalties that are substantially more than we would impose?"
If convicted in the U.S., Emery could face a sentence of life in prison.
Ok. I have descided what to add next. If The American judicial system keeps this up I can see them being kidnapped and taken overseas for trial for crimes against humanity too or did you forget that little debate we had last year. @#$%^&*! Nuff said.......

Guiness World Speed Record
It's Official. X-43A Raises the Bar to Mach 9.6 Guinness World Records recognized NASA's X-43A scramjet with a new world speed record for a jet-powered aircraft - Mach 9.6, or nearly 7,000 mph. The X-43A set the new mark and broke its own world record on its third and final flight on Nov. 16, 2004. In March 2004, the X-43A set the previous record of Mach 6.8 (nearly 5,000 mph). The fastest air-breathing, manned vehicle, the U.S. Air Force SR-71, achieved slightly more than Mach 3.2. The X-43A more than doubled, then tripled, the top speed of the jet-powered SR-71.
Mach 10 Meteor: X-43A Scramjet Flight is Risky Business
11.12.04
It looked so easy last March when NASA's X-43A team succeeded in sending the second X-43A scramjet to a world record speed of Mach 6.83, but looks are deceiving. Blazing through the sky at Mach 10 is next on the project's agenda as the third X-43A flight date fast approaches. This attempt is high risk, so no detail is too small to leave to chance.

Some people are just plain jerkoff's
I do not usually defend myself on issues that are minute but about a year ago I had a blazing debate going on in my blog in which a dude asked me out of nowhere what the word niggardly meant. I answered that it was a twisted slang version for a lazy person(something to that affect) And of course this inferior superion scoffed at me for not knowing the meaning which I at that time did not comment on nor did I care to because the word if any one desired to, couldn't apply to me and may never apply to me, and since I have looked up the word still does not apply to me. But the diseased Yak was proffering that I must be such a person (in so many words) insisted that I probably did not know the meaning of such.
Funny thing about the tracking software that I have. It has dug up this strange google search done last year and and though I do not appear to be able to do much with these pages as far as where the links and threads came from; at the top of the page was one of the answers to this cumquats attempts at proving I was less than worthy of being listened to(something else I don't worry about). Whether you listen or read my stuff is immaterial to me. What you think about me is also immaterial. However along the line of PBAB I decided to tell you where the word niggardly truly originates from as far as it's usage here in the U.S. is concerned.
In the Latin based languages there is a word "negro" which means black (French, Italian, or Spanish mainly). During that onerous period early in this continents settlement by Europeans 3 to 4 hundred years ago when slave labor was being imported from North Africa these people were called negros.
Now here is the interesting thing with languages. As you travel down life's little road; people come and they go over the centuries, and as history would have it the U.S. was born and what do you know Walla!; a crap shoot on who would become wealthy. Some of these men (or wimmin) came from the pits and BB's of life. And most never really set aside their particular usage of the language. My point is some strange lowlife slang terms come into common use such as the twisted back woods version of negro which became the slang term (I hate even entering this word into my blog) n____r.
Of course their are people out there like me who enjoy taking words apart just to see what makes them tick. And like me once you kind of get the gist of the way the scholars of ancient Greece and Rome created their language(rather ingenious I would say) why you can actually create new words in a kind of cut and paste way ( a thing I get a rather big kick out of). Anyway someone noticed in a rhyming way that these two words were alike.
Now let us look at some of the definitions where Mr. braniac got his idea that I did not know what this word meant. To do this I will pull up some of Dictionary stuff available to me from one of the premier companies:
© 2001 by Merriam-Webster, Incorporated
Etymology: Middle English, of Scandinavian origin; akin to Old Norse hnoggr niggardly; akin to Old English hnEaw niggardly
1 : grudgingly mean about spending or granting : BEGRUDGING
2 : provided in meanly limited supply synonym see STINGY
One thing we have to remember about our current semi-official definitions of the American version of English. They are the current version of the words as we see them here in the U.S.. Not the definitions as used overseas. You see in these other countries these words still have permanant meaning, they are the words for black. And there is nothing disparaging about the color black. In fact the only reason there is any thing disparaging about the word black is because we have at an intellectual level attached negative connotations to them which I want to add, is not permanent. I suppose I could digress at this point about the mentally unhealthy aspect of not being able to let go forgive and forget sort of stuff. But the main string here is the utter destruction of an idea that I may be an idiot as espoused by an individual whom shall remain faceless to me(he better hope he does). Imagine the consequences of a guy coming up to me and identifying himself as the dude who got almost as rude as a man dares get with another. In other word them's fightin words. I by the way never did learn how to fight. I did not take my training that way. The arts I learned were for the battlefield. They are for killing---not for a knockdowndragout fist fight.

In a side thought: this idiot was calling me stingy or begrudging. Which he could have not known, and as far as he or I know about each other we could have fallen off the planet by now.

At the least he would be person whom once decided that another is not going to see things his way instead of going his own way peacefully has to resort to insults. Not the American way.

As far as the continuing of his insult here is the answer. Of course I did not use the Hebrew word in it's absolute correct way but most people can see and know that it is the slangified usage. And in the manner I used it, for the fun of it. I have to say that in snatching an article from another I do not claim it as my own and make every effort not to plagerize it. In other words I give credit where credit is due and if I can provide people with the pertinent links which substitute for footnotes then I do. If I can not then I write in such a manner as to not quote them and try to give some reference to where I learned this info. If not then I make it my supposition which then of course becomes correctable or debatable. In some cases I am actually fishing for the info in perhaps providing incorrect information playing to the proud. Sometimes I do this in the hunt for the proverbial bees nests so's I can whack them and see what mess I can make. And if your wondering yeah I get stung a bit, but you know the way it is. You can't get honey with out disturbing the nest.
Funny thing about the tracking software that I have. It has dug up this strange google search done last year and and though I do not appear to be able to do much with these pages as far as where the links and threads came from; at the top of the page was one of the answers to this cumquats attempts at proving I was less than worthy of being listened to(something else I don't worry about). Whether you listen or read my stuff is immaterial to me. What you think about me is also immaterial. However along the line of PBAB I decided to tell you where the word niggardly truly originates from as far as it's usage here in the U.S. is concerned.
In the Latin based languages there is a word "negro" which means black (French, Italian, or Spanish mainly). During that onerous period early in this continents settlement by Europeans 3 to 4 hundred years ago when slave labor was being imported from North Africa these people were called negros.
Now here is the interesting thing with languages. As you travel down life's little road; people come and they go over the centuries, and as history would have it the U.S. was born and what do you know Walla!; a crap shoot on who would become wealthy. Some of these men (or wimmin) came from the pits and BB's of life. And most never really set aside their particular usage of the language. My point is some strange lowlife slang terms come into common use such as the twisted back woods version of negro which became the slang term (I hate even entering this word into my blog) n____r.
Of course their are people out there like me who enjoy taking words apart just to see what makes them tick. And like me once you kind of get the gist of the way the scholars of ancient Greece and Rome created their language(rather ingenious I would say) why you can actually create new words in a kind of cut and paste way ( a thing I get a rather big kick out of). Anyway someone noticed in a rhyming way that these two words were alike.
Now let us look at some of the definitions where Mr. braniac got his idea that I did not know what this word meant. To do this I will pull up some of Dictionary stuff available to me from one of the premier companies:
© 2001 by Merriam-Webster, Incorporated
Etymology: Middle English, of Scandinavian origin; akin to Old Norse hnoggr niggardly; akin to Old English hnEaw niggardly
1 : grudgingly mean about spending or granting : BEGRUDGING
2 : provided in meanly limited supply synonym see STINGY
One thing we have to remember about our current semi-official definitions of the American version of English. They are the current version of the words as we see them here in the U.S.. Not the definitions as used overseas. You see in these other countries these words still have permanant meaning, they are the words for black. And there is nothing disparaging about the color black. In fact the only reason there is any thing disparaging about the word black is because we have at an intellectual level attached negative connotations to them which I want to add, is not permanent. I suppose I could digress at this point about the mentally unhealthy aspect of not being able to let go forgive and forget sort of stuff. But the main string here is the utter destruction of an idea that I may be an idiot as espoused by an individual whom shall remain faceless to me(he better hope he does). Imagine the consequences of a guy coming up to me and identifying himself as the dude who got almost as rude as a man dares get with another. In other word them's fightin words. I by the way never did learn how to fight. I did not take my training that way. The arts I learned were for the battlefield. They are for killing---not for a knockdowndragout fist fight. They,re extremely effecient and I became proficient at them. I do not and will not maintain them in myself for any other purpose. I will soften this though by saying that as a common citizen today I hopefully will never see a time I might have to use these tools.

Does it pay to be a liar?
I don't know why don't you ask these two.
Fahling says the amazing thing about the case is that the two defendants acknowledge that they never had proof of any grounds for detaining Marcavage. Nevertheless, in order to satisfy the psychiatric ward's requirement for involuntarily commitment, the school officials claimed Marcavage had inflicted or attempted to inflict serious bodily harm on another person, that he had attempted suicide, and that there was a reasonable probability that he would repeat the attempt unless treated.
A federal judge has ordered two Temple University officials to stand trial for allegedly attempting to have a former student involuntarily committed to the school's psychiatric ward nearly five years ago.
