Just got word that a segment on this story will air on WSB News in
Atlanta (Channel 2) at 11 PM. Please spread the word to everyone you
know! Don and Rachel Bortz, and Randi St. Denis were interviewed
earlier this evening.

(If you saw my earlier post about this-DFCS stating that they don't have to do what judges say.)

I know these folks. These are great folks! I can't believe this is happening to THEM. What scares me though is DFCS saying they don't have to listen to ANY judge.
Listen to this: http://www.georgiahomeschool.com/andrews-dfcs.mp3

If judges can't tell them what to do, WHO does?

Here's the website with the case details. http://savejacksonbortz.blogspot.com/ It is tragic enough that they had a baby die, but to have to go through this on top of it? THOUSANDS, maybe millions of folks know them. I hope that people calling and stuff will help.

I just can't believe that DFCS says that a judge can't tell them what to do - that judgements mean NOTHING.

Are they above the law?

Some Thoughts for Howard Dean, Harry Reid, Bob Schrum, Donna Brazile, John Podesta, Nancy Pelosi, and the Rest of the Shit-for-Brains So-Called Leaders of the Democratic Party, at the Start of 2006, a Year Which Will Either Restore the Party to Political Relevance or Witness Its Ultimate Humiliation and Extinction

Pretty on point.

Well said!

"So what’s happened here? What’s happened is that both patients and doctors have allowed themselves to be shunted aside. The individual doctor and individual patient, together, no longer comprise the basic nuclear unit of health care. Doctors and patients have been separated from one another; separated and marginalized, reduced to ciphers. They have become mere commodities in the vast health care marketplace. "

Excellent analysis of the way that HMO's do business. I can vouch for its accuracy in the way that people with chronic illnesses are treated. I had so many hoops to jump through in order to have my surgery approved, that after 2 years when it WAS approved, I was told too much time had lapsed and surgery probably wouldn't help my condition anymore.

The Grand Theory of the HMO

StumbleUpon is an intelligent browsing tool for sharing and discovering great websites. As you click Stumble!, you'll get high-quality pages matched to your personal preferences. These pages have been explicitly recommended (rated I like it) by friends and other SU members with similar interests. Rating these sites shares them with your friends and peers – you will automatically 'stumble upon' each others favorites sites.

StumbleUpon uses / ratings to form collaborative opinions on website quality. When you stumble, you will only see pages which friends and like-minded stumblers () have liked. Unlike search engines or static directories, this allows for a true "democracy of the web" – all SU members have a say ( or ) as to whether a page should be passed on.

In effect, StumbleUpon's members collectively share the best sites on the web. You can share any site by simply clicking I like it. This passes the page on to friends and like-minded people – letting them "stumble upon" all the great sites you discover.

Elonka ... Here is where that traffic is from... I use it for killing idle time....

Just stumbled upon this.... (really symantec users have a problem)

Symantec Vulnerability
December 21, 2005

A new vulnerability identified in Symantec Antivirus Products in use by the DOD that can result in a heap overflow condition and the ability for an attacker to execute arbitrary code and gain full control of the system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in Dec2Rar.dll when copying data based on the length field in the sub-block headers of a RAR archive. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow and may allow arbitrary code execution when a malicious RAR archive is scanned.

There is no fix provided by Symantec at this time, but blocking .rar files at the email servers and gateways to prevent this vulnerability from being exploited is recommended. This block should remain in place until a fix can be provided by Symantec.

DOD has vulnerability from Symantec products - DEC 21 - NO fix yet

....a private news channel yesterday quoted Chennai police officials, saying that they had received an alert from Dalai Lama's chief security officer that ''a seven-member team from Tibet'' had left for Amaravati to assassinate the spiritual head of Tibet.

The kilt with formal brogans and jacket are acceptable dress attire ANYWHERE - even in our white house.

Why is this principle so unrefined as to send a student home for wearing a kilt?

Granted, full dress attire is required with a formal kilt with the clan dress tartan, but to NOT allow a kilt, in and of itself is just plain repressive to ALL men, especially those of Scottish decent.

My husband, a piper, wears his dress tartan to all formal events, whether he is playing or not. I love it, its handsome.

Men are repressed in our culture where fashion is concerned, but this principle is just ..........unrefined.

Principle would not let student wear kilt to formal dance

Many economists have long suspected that official government statistics here provided only a shadow of reality.

With China's announcement on Tuesday that its economy was considerably bigger than previously estimated, economists and financial prognosticators are scrambling to rethink their assessment of China's rise and its role on the world stage. China's new figures suggest that it probably has passed France, Italy and Britain to become the world's fourth-largest economy.

Some economists are even accelerating their timetables for when China may eclipse the United States as the world's biggest economy. With the new figures offering a more expansive view of economic activity, some said China could overtake the United States as early as 2035, at least five years earlier than previous projections.

That Blur? It's China, Moving Up in the Pack
