@nowheregirl: Thanks nowheregirl for the update.

@avenger: I find this interesting especially since we are talking about the bible.

Wasn't the bible translated for hundreds of years from Latin? Latin and Arabic really and truly can't be 100% translated correctly. So you have all these little men locked away in a dark room with nothing but candlelight writing, writing and more writing. So the next group of little guys come along and maybe translate a few of the words differently then the first little guys.

I am sure everyone has played the game you have a circle the first person will tell the next in line a sentence and by the time it gets to the last person it is completely different. How do you know that did not happen in the translation of the Bible?

Now lets throw in the wild card the Catholics, they allegedly left out entire passages and even changing some of the writings. Who knows how many lost books there is. Everyone that translated those writings in Latin then into other languages had the opportunity to change and enslave the future people to come along.

The Catholics made sure that women would not be equal to man. What about priest not getting married? Do you really think Jesus said these things were bad. I guess I have a belief into something but it would be much stronger if it was backed up with facts. I can not put my entire faith into a book that has been translated so many times that it could be entirely different than what the original was.

Back to the story if one book is allowed then all should be allowed. Deal did this for props no more no less.

Where the heck did the guy Kourtessis go, did he run out of the house? My heart goes out to Ms. Rebello and the Officer involved in the shooting.

"letsee" Police officers do a lot of firearms training some only do what is required and some do it daily. Those that shoot the most automatically raise weapon to center mass without thinking. If you understand what I am saying. Because they do it naturally it is just instinct for them. The Officer in no way meant to shoot Ms. Kourtessis and the way you worded it seemed there was intent. He put 7 rounds in the bad guy and unfortunately she was in the way of the 8th. One of the rounds might have turned the bad guy just a tiny bit and that might have been why she was hit. We will never know. I am not judging him.

Officer Donahue it is great to hear how well you are doing in rehabilitation. I think the memory loss is a good thing for you of that day. You keep working hard and it sounds like your wife is very supporting as I am sure so are your working family. Very inspirational.

My thoughts and prayers to Mr. Lorek and Mr. Shaw family and friends. My thoughts also to the Elite unit these men were family with that many forget.

Thank you both mel and jtsim.

Thank you Mr. Gundy for helping our officer. Most people would just have stood there and done nothing. Sorry you didn't get whatever position you were going after in the party.

oops don't forget you will get a subpoena for court hearing and testimony.

Wasn't there some kind of scandal after the Gov. race with Handel and some money? Does anybody remember?

Shame there wasn't a few college boys close by, it would have ended with him going to the hospital. Girl please don't even be friends with this guy he definitely has issues.

This woman is ignorant. She almost ruined Komen foundation, which is still having fallout from her stupid religious beliefs. We need just one common sense person, don't really care what clan as long as they don't walk, lock in step with the party. Make the right decisions because it is the right thing to do, you never can make everybody happy but that is okay. As long as it was the right decision at the time and for the right reason.

It's crazy, is there no one with any common sense to fix some of these problems. 3 Billion over budget? WTH

At work you have goals if you do not reach your goal in the specified time there will be consequences for the shortcomings.

Same senators and congressmen raising hell about the deficit, now they are doing "or else". Best thing we could do is kick anybody out that doesn't play well with others. If they are lock and step they need to go.

Besides the Federal government being to involved the State is too. They pass some stupid laws that we don't even know about. Put it on a ballot and let us vote on it. If Obama wants to do something the Republicans lock up and say hell no, even if it was their idea. Democratic do the same thing when the Republicans come up with something. We have no say in anything.

They make Georgia looks so backwoods, redneck, inbreds. I couldn't blame any company for not want to come here. If you all are proud of them good for you, but I have more pride than that, I research the person not the clan they belong too.

Sorry, didn't mean it to be so long...Have a good day and a blessed weekend.

Congratulations Officer Cochran, thank you for helping this woman.

So sad

Are any of these LEO's susp/with pay, desk duty? This is crazy if this happened the way they said it did. I watched a grainy security tape but you can't tell much.

Great story of a woman trying her best to obtain her goals. Wonderful story of how this has spread and all the people that are showing up to help her and asking nothing in return. Light heartening in such a crazy world.

Well he/she wasn't hiding that knife in those pants we would have definitely seen it. Dang dude get some looser pants, those can't be comfortable.

$3,000 bond = unbelievable

felony obstruction of a law enforcement officer and threatening emergency medical personnel, also a felony, in connection with the child abuse investigation the night before,

@gman129: It isn't the council, they received grievances and that is the reason for the hearings. Now with what they come up with to pacify the residents is another matter.

Once again some commenter always, always pay more attention to looks than the action/s of the person. This women sent out one very strong message that t.v. ads could never do. Why does it matter what she looks like, her tats, her lips has nothing to do with her actions.

If this surgery news (especially with a actress) can save one girl it paid out in full. She is a strong woman and a role model because she didn't tell women they needed to do it, she showed them, she showed her trust, her self esteem, her dignity that still be intact. I really didn't think it would be that hard for men to understand what she was sacrificing to have a full life with her children. I would think in 2013 we were more educated and further away from bigotry.

@CLM1090: I'll bet she has had full hysterectomy and that is another reason for all the adoptions.

Edit: I just saw some gossip mags on internet referring to probably her having the surgery so who knows. So hopefully she will if she hasn't done it yet.

@pumpkie: "Strong words! "I do not feel any less of a woman," Jolie writes. "I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity." Good for her!"

Amen, I wish I could give you more pluses.

Damn shame he is that old he want have much time to suffer for what he has done. This is one of those backwoods clinics for the poor. The State is as much to blame for failing to do their jobs they also have blood on their hands.

Mrs. Colquitt if you are reading this I am sorry I didn't address you in my earlier comment. It just brought back so many angry feelings because my situation wasn't like yours in all ways but it was some.

Oglethorpe Co. EMS used to be a good department. I am sorry you were treated in such an abusive way by the dispatcher and worse he got away with it. Doesn't surprise me that he was promoted though, that is how it rolls down here.
But one day we will have enough new blood down here and we can force out all that good ole boy attitude and all those special projects that are done just for some of the citizens.

If it is a sinkhole why would you let anyone drive in the lane next to it?

She is impressive with how strong she is in her self esteem to make such a sacrifice. My blessings to her I could only hope I could muster that much courage. Didn't one of the Beauty contestants do the same thing several months ago.
