  Christian cross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cross was the first of the Instruments of the Passion that came to be venerated in the form of relics.
Connected with the cross is the medieval legend of the Tree of Jesse, from the wood of which the cross was said to have been fashioned.
Denotes a glorification of the cross, this form was inspired by the cult of the cross that arose after Saint Helena's discovery of the true cross in Jerusalem in 327.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans in at least 17 other states are either contemplating converting to for-profit operation or are already in the process, and more will undoubtedly follow.
The Blue Cross plans and hospitals now seeking to convert to for-profit status want to free themselves of their original public mission so they can raise capital, grow larger, and make the financial return to investors their governing interest.
Trigon, Virginia's Blue Cross plan, succeeded in pushing legislation that allowed it to convert by giving the state $175 million, to be used to fund a shortfall in the state's education budget.

 IDS: Don't blame, just use caution (Opinion, 02/26/2002)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
I stepped onto the road, fully intending to cross, when a silver Jetta cut in front of me. It happened so fast, I couldn't stop, and before I knew it I had walked into the Jetta.
Section 7.73.02 of this code states "the vehicle shall yield to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is on the half of the roadway on which the vehicle is traveling." But not everyone crosses the road within the crosswalk, or even at a traffic light.
This just proves that everyone should be careful where he crosses, when he crosses, how fast he drives and everyone should keep an eye out for a biker darting in front of a car, or a bus turning the corner where you're crossing the street.

"Nevertheless, from a practical standpoint, we see many cases of Mexicans intending to cross the northern border without necessary documentation, preparing to cross through high-risk zones where one is likely to confront grave dangers, particularly in desert areas or rivers with strong, notoriously dangerous, water currents," the guide states.
The booklet notes that highways and settlements are far apart and there is a possibility those crossing the border will spend several days walking and will not be able to carry enough food and water and may become lost.
The guide also says not to cross the border with false documents or documents with another person's name because it is a crime in the United States.

 firstamendmentcenter.org: commentary
That principle was underscored last week when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a state government may punish the burning of a cross when the intent is to intimidate others.
The Virginia law was flawed, the majority concluded, because it presumed that anyone who burns a cross is intending to intimidate someone.
In prosecuting a cross-burning, a state must clearly establish that the burning was intended as a threat and not just assume that anyone who burns a cross is bent on intimidation.
