It's Not Just Tribe Fans Who Are Screaming CHOOOOO!
Well, the Tribe lost yesterday in a thrilling battle, 5-4. That's not what I'm going to talk about in this entry, I'm mostly going to talk about Shin-Shoo-Choo. He has had a film crew filming a documentary about him, & they should be filming him all this week ; I believe. Well, within this filming we learned about Choo's newfound idol, Y.E. Yang. (: He was very happy about him beating Tiger Woods in golf, as I found this on Cleveland.com/tribe ; "I don't play golf, and I'm not a golf fan," Choo said. "But I wanted him to beat Tiger. When he did, I was jumping around the clubhouse like, 'Oh yeah!'" But Choo's Indians teammates, who continue their three-game set against the Angels on Wednesday night at Progressive Field, didn't wait long to turn this into an opportunity to razz their buddy Choo. "They said [Yang] is the most famous Korean athlete now," Choo said with a smile. "They said I'm No. 2 now." Hey, there's no shame in that standing, as Choo is still pretty popular. Evidence of that fact was on display Tuesday, when a South Korean television crew followed Choo's every move around the ballpark." Yeah, dont worry Choo! Your still popular as always, especially with Tribe fans!
Until next time…
& While We Wait For Tonight's Game..
I have a ton of awesome things to talk about. First, Our No.1 Draft pick Alex White, was signed last night just before the deadline, to over $2 million dollars. Wow, thats a lot of moolah. Now, I think he has a chance to be a star. An ace. With all these trades, it's obvious what the Tribe is asking.
Yeah, that's about right. Well, now we know one of the things that the Tribe will do. Personally? I think it's a good decision. Some of the fans made me laugh with their comments…one even jokingly said ; "Does he play qb?" That makes room for me to say this..I love the Browns. & It should be Brady Quinn for QB! Ahem. Okay. I had a moment. Another thing I saw ; "If he makes the roster next year Wedge will try him at shortstop." I hope that's intended to be a joke..he looks like a pitcher, which is what he should be. I sure thought it was funny, though. & Another one I got mad at ; " Let's make sure we "bring him along slowly"…you know….watch his pitch count…..so that he'll be really strong when he leaves and signs with Boston, NY or Philly." HEY. Come on now, people. Was that a Yanks fan? Bet it was. Nothing against Yankees fans, though.
Alright, on to some really funny stuff. Remember in my last entry, where I was talking about Luis Valbeuna's reactions to Grady's 3rd homerun of the inning, that put us up 4-3 after being down 3-0? Well, here you go.
Yes, I know. Kodak moment. Cant you almost hear his thoughts? "Woahh..we did that? THIS IS AMAZING." It was amazing.(: That's a look of pure shock. A look of unbelievalbleness. Did I spell that right? Oh well.
Also, the Indians have been on fire lately. & You know what? I dont care if we aren't in it, it's still amazing. The race, that is. We have lost so many people, but somehow..the future is starting to look bright. Weird how things turn out, right? & Now..I give the Tribe a ribbon, for not giving up & doing their best no matter what.
Alright, of course there is that one thing..last but not least. Me & a fellow Tribe fan on here decided to sort of buddy up, to help eachother get as many comments as possible. Yeah, were a team. That's what fellow Tribe fans do for eachother, they help eachother out. (: So, here we go. Visit my friend's blog, okay? OK.

Oh, I almost forgot. Dexter says Hi!
Until next time..
Tribe Takes Another Series In Grand Style (:
Sorry about my absence lately, it's been hectic. School starts soon for me, on August 24th, so I have been sort of busy. I have a lot of games I haven't covered, but I only have time to cover yesterdays, which was a great one. We had won our 5oth game the day before, which I could watch on TV for once, & I could also watch yesterdays. Well, the Twins took the lead 3-0, & I wasn't so happy. I have learned though, to sit there & be as patient as possible, & dont give up. It payed off. To open up the bottom of the 3rd, Kely Shoppach of the Tribe hit a solo blasted homer, making it 3-1. I smiled, & felt a little better. Then, Luis Valbuena sent a monster out, making it 3-2. I was shocked & happy by then. Andy Marte got hit by a pitch, sending him to 1st. Then, who better to come up, then my hero? Grady Sizemore came up to bat. I started getting a little greedy, & thought ; Hey, if he hits a homer, that would be amazing! Plus, we would be suddenly winning! I wasn't prepared for him to hit one, though. He did! It was crushed to the upperdeck! It was suddenly 4-3 Tribe.
You should have seen the reaction from Luis Valbuena, it was definetely a Kodak moment, & it you want to, it's on the 3rd highlights link, & after Grady Sizemore's homer. Yes, I only have three links, because the 3rd is of the three homers in the same inning. It was awesome.
Last but certainly not least, people keep saying Asdrubal Cabrera is the next Omar Vizquel for the Tribe. & I cant help saying, that, he is! He's an amazing shortstop. Some of the plays he makes are unbelievable. Oh, we eventually won the game 7-3. Cant forget that part!
Here are the highlights. I would watch the 3rd one, its my favorite.
Until next time..
Two Words ; Shut Out. Or Is It Shut-Out? Anyways.. (:
Okay, I have to make this entry sort of short, since I dont have a lot of time. The key to this game? Pitching, & defense. Oh, & of course a big inning. The Indians had a 5 run inning early, making it 5-0 Tribe. It stayed that way the whole night, & the Tribe shut out the Texas Rangers. Yes, the Texas Rangers. One of the best offense in MLB. I have to say I was very proud. & When Omar Vizquel came up, I was proud of the fellow Tribe fans, who gave him a standing ovation, & he waved to the crowd. Asdrubal Cabrera, our current shortstop, wears Omar Vizquel's 13 in his honor. Awww! I find that so awesome. Asdrubal made some Omar like plays, infact, two of them in a row. Cant you tell Omar & Asdrubal get along? (:
Oh yeah, if we win today again, it will be our 3rd win in a row, & also our 5oth win. So, we will have 50 wins, & not even 64 losses yet. I really dont think that is that bad, in my mind. On to the highlights.
Until next time..
Weekend In Review & The Score Is Me: 1, & My Dad: 0.
Well, the Tribe had a weekend series against the Chicago White Sox on Friday, Saturday, & Sunday. My dad is a so called "fan" of the White Sox, but it's mostly because, 1. He likes to annoy me by cheering for them, & 2. Jim Thome is one of the Sox's players. So, I threatened him, telling him that the Tribe was going to kick butt in the series. Well, the first game, they sure did do well. The Tribe won, alongside Kelly Shoppach's 2 run homer, 6-2 as a final. When I told my dad that, he said, "There is no way the Indians will win the series." The gambler in me begged to differ, & I told him we would definetely win. The second game wasn't so good, as the Sox won over the Tribe, 8-5. The Tribe's new starter, ( & I think new ace ) did well, but had a certain low pitch count because we are slowly going to work in to the process of a starter. The bullpen didnt do well, but the Sox pitcher continually did well for awhile, then finally gave up some runs. When he was striking out people, Jhonny Peralta was not so happy. Hey, who can blame him??
Then, it was time for the 3rd game, which would decide everything. Would I be right, or would my dad? & To make it better, it was going to be one of those that I could actually watch on TV. Classic battle, eh? So, my dad was watching it half-heartedly, which he usually never watches the games at all. I, on the other hand, was glued to the TV, & watching intently. Well, the White Sox took the early lead 3-0, & I calmly stayed there & knew we could come back if we wanted. I tried my best not to panic, & I was rewarded. In perfect timing, actually. My dad had gone to the store while the game was going on, & came back to see "his Sox" leading 3-0. Psh..bring it on. I just sat there, knowing he was feeling an inner smugness inside. Then, the Tribe got busy, loading the bases. Heh..now he looked a little different. Then, SMACK. The bats went cracking, eventually making it 3-2. In the same inning..BAM. Jamey Carroll hit a double, scoring 2 runs, & giving us the lead! I clapped my hands, & then, I saw Jamey Carroll doing the same thing on 2nd base. Jamey Carroll had quite a day.
Then, I sighed, content with what had happened, & feeling a bit of my own smugness wilting up, & at the same time that I sank into my seat, they panned the camera on the Tribe's Andy Marte, who did the exact same thing, sighing in content, while taking a break, before the inning ended. It's safe to say, after that, the Tribe didn't look back. They scored, & scored, & scored. David Huff pitched, & pitched, & pitched. Boy, did he do a good job! The final was 8-4 Tribe.
The Tribe also had fantastic defense, putting the White Sox errorish defense to shame. Not to say that they stink at defense or anything all the time, but this series was not the best for the White Sox's defense. As you can see below, we did quite a good job, including that double play that we turned.
In the end, it was a great series. The Tribe won the 5 of the last 6 series they have had, & continued their winning ways. It's probably safe to say that at 48 wins, we are going to reach 50 wins & more, way before we will get close to losing 70.
Its safe to say this : Tribe, 2 games. White Sox, 1. Tribe wins the series, So Tribe, 1. White Sox, 0. & Me, the Tribe fan, 1. My dad, the Sox fan, 0. Of course, I got some highlights from the series, & there are quite a bit of them.
Until next time..
Tribe Takes Series From Twins
This was a pitcher's duel, that's for sure. Fausto Carmona pitched a gem for us, despite allowing runners on base, he always seemed to get out of jams. The Twins scored first, & early, then we eventually tied it, making it 1–1. Finally, Trevor Crowe smacked a double to deep center, driving in Travis Hafner, making it 2-1 Tribe."I've been to the big leagues twice this season and knew I could swing the bat well, but just wasn't having success," Crowe said. "To have some success this time and be a part of the team's wins makes you feel you belong in the Major Leagues." He definetely does belong here(: Our bullpen pitchers & our closer did a good job, & made that the final score.
I may not post over the weekend, I'm not really sure. If I dont, I will still cover the games I didn't post about on Monday. Oh, & I would also like to thank everyone for always commenting, & now I'm #21 on the latest leaders list. Lastly, here are some highlights.
Until next time..
Tribe Turns The Tables (:
Oh yes, that is exactly what we did. The Tribe came out with bats swinging, & Aaron Laffey came out with all his good pitching. He has pitched well against the Twins this year. Infact, before last night, he pitched a game that I went to for my Birthday, & beat the Twins, where the final was 4-2 Tribe. The Indians got their revenge, & won 8-1. Oh, & Jess Todd did quite a job closing out the game. Lookie here, here's a picture from last night, & Asdrubal Cabrera slid in safely to third.
Now, I'm going to talk about Trevor Crowe. He had a chance with all these trades, & boy is he doing well for us. I definetely think he should be staying. He had more RBIs in last night's game, & basically he does that every night. Plus, the 1-2 punch of him & Grady is a very good thing. Trevor is 9th to bat, then Grady leads off."They came out Tuesday and really put it on us, then they had Francisco Liriano on the mound," Trevor said. "I think we're showing that, although we may be some guys down, we can still go out and compete." He has really blue eyes! Just saying. Trevor does, that is. See?
Okay, now on to the highlights!
Until next time..
Tribe vs Twins – Twins Win The First Game
Alright, so last night we faced the Twins. I dont understand how we lost..no really, I dont. David Huff was pitching strikes the whole time..well at first. Then, he started giving up walks & stuff..so, I guess I sort of understand. Anyways, the final score was 10-1 Twins.
I was so upset about the attendance at Progressive Field. Look, Tribe fans, I know it stinks. All these trades have been hard on us. It's been difficult. Not going to the games, though, is NOT going to solve anything. I'm one of those really loyal Indians fans, so the attendance really gets to me. Just get out there, & support your team, already!
I hope we can get our revenge tommorow & pound the Twins. Oh, one more thing. Three players we brought up because of these trades, Chris Giminez, Trevor Crowe, & Andy Marte, have done a good job for us. & Of course Justin Masterson has done a really good job, too. Wait, I forgot something. Jose Veraas has been designated for assignment, so Jess Todd, our "player to be named later," in the Mark DeRosa trade, can be brought up.
Until next time..
Grady Sizemore's Happy Birthday :)
Yesterday was Grady Sizemore's birthday, & it was a happy one for him! He hit a two run homer, & helped us crush the Tigers 11-1. I was happy because I love when he hits homeruns, & especially on his birthday! I feel a little better about all the trades, but not really. When I think about them is when it starts really getting to me. I felt bad, because I know Grady's birthday is on the 2nd, but I didn't remember yesterday was his birthday 'till they said it during the game. Still, I screamed "Happy Birthday," probably abouy five times, even though I knew he wouldn't hear me. Glad you had a Happy Birthday, Grady!
When asked about a Birthday cake, Grady said this,"Cake?" he said. "Uh, no. No cake." GASP. Grady? You dont like cake? Who doesn't love cake? Okay, Okay. I understand how you dont like a lot of attention to be focused on you, but I would feel bad if you didn't get a cake. So..I will give you a sort-of cake. It's not real, of course. It's still my way of wishing you a Happy Birthday, though. Even though it was yesterday, I never had time to blog yesterday, so I have to do it today. Happy late-ish birthday 🙂
I found some highlights from yesterday's game, also.
Until Next Time..
Thanks For The Memories
That's all I know to say to Victor..thanks for the memories, & thanks for everything. As you all probably know right now, Vic was traded to the Red Sox. I already said everything he meant to the Tribe, & it kills me inside to say "meant," because he still means a lot. When I saw his interview, & knew he was fighting back tears & had been crying, my heart broke. Shattered. I even started crying. It sounds babyish, but fans get attached to the players, especially someone like Victor. Goodbye Victor. We love you.
Remember when you completed our 10 run comeback in the 9th, & hit that single? I do. Remember when we clinched the AL Division Title in 2007, & said, "We did it. We did it!"
I do. I'll always remember you, Victor. I hope you have a great time with the Red Sox…As you all have guessed, I am quite upset today. It's been a tough week, & especially a tough couple days. I was hoping he would never get traded, & before the day came, I was dreading it inside, because I had a feeling this would happen. I am too shocked & upset to write much about this trade…
Uh, on the brightside, I have to talk about yesterday's win. We went into extra innings tied at 5, & eventually won in the bottom of the 13th against the Tigers, 6-5. & On a sad, sad day, where I was basically moping the whole day, it ended on a good note. Maybe the Tribe listened to the letter. They sure did keep fighting. & The outcome was also a mob of Jamey Carroll.
There are also some highlights that I found.
Until next time..

U.S. Jews Should Respond to the Murders With More Than Tears
by Moshe Phillips and Benyamin Korn
Jews throughout the United States will hold memorial services this week to mourn the murders of the three Israeli teenagers. There will be tears, there will be prayers, there will be words of consolation. And then the mourning needs to be followed by action — political action.
The murder of the three Israeli boys is not just an Israeli problem. It is an American problem, too — both because one of the victims was an American and because the U.S. government plays a major role in shaping what happens between Israel and the Palestinians. That's where the American Jewish community comes in. American Jews need to undertake focused political action to urge the Obama administration to help Israel in its fight against the Hamas terrorists.
So far, the administration's response to the crisis has been deeply disappointing. Despite the kidnappings, President Obama continues to recognize and support the Palestinian Authority-Hamas unity regime. The annual U.S. aid package of $500-million to the Palestinian Arabs continues, even though Hamas is now indirectly benefiting from that aid.
Worse, the administration did not fully take Israel's side in the pursuit of the kidnappers. In the midst of the ordeal, the State Department called on Israel to show "restraint" in its actions against Hamas. President Obama, in his statement following the discovery of the bodies of the three victims, called on "all parties" to refrain from steps that would "destabilize" the situation. Such language has always been a thinly-disguised code word for urging Israel to go easy on the terrorists.
Related coverage
Since one of the kidnapped boys was an American citizen, the Obama administration could have done what it routinely does in such situations — offer a multimillion dollar reward for information leading to the capture of the terrorists. Yet even after the names of the kidnappers were publicly revealed, the administration refused to offer a reward.
The U.S. government website offering the rewards, www.rewardsforjustice.net, has a section called "success stories." The majority of the victims in those cases were from a single case which is rather similar to the kidnapping in Israel — it too involved Islamist terrorists.
Here are a few practical steps that concerned Americans can take:
1. Call or email the White House (202-456-1111) and urge the president to withdraw America's recognition of the Palestinian Authority-Hamas unity regime.
2. Call the Congressional switchboard (202-224-3121) and ask to be connected to your Member of Congress. Urge your Congress member to support suspension of U.S. aid to the Palestinian Arabs.
3. Call the Department of Justice (202-514-2000), which administers the Rewards for Justice program. Urge that a reward be offered for information leading to the capture of the murderers of 16 year-old U.S. citizen Naftali Frankel and the other two boys.
Mourning is important. A community in pain needs to express its anguish. But there is a time for mourning, and there is a time for action. We have mourned, we have cried. Now is the time to dry our tears and pick up the phones.

The MTV Video Music Awards rarely goes middle of the road: It's either a zeitgeist-fueled barrage of "oh wow" moments, or a tedious parade of silver spacemen. Which will it be this year?
Last year' ceremony was the show's highest rated in nearly eight years, thanks to viewer-enticing nominees and performances by likes of Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber and, of course, Lady Gaga's infamous "meat dress" and eight Moonman trophies, providing just the right amount of did-you-see-that? Day-after discussion.
PopcornBiz breaks this year's VMA game plan down beforehand so you can adjust your expectations accordingly.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
The Host: For the first time since 2007, the VMAs are skipping over a formal host this year after two relatively edgy and amusing stints by Russell Brand (it's where he met future bride Katy Perry) and last year's turn by Chelsea Handler that was as snooze-inducing as her talk show's somnambulant timeslot.
The Venue: For the second year in a row, L.A.'s Nokia Theater provides the locale – a promising sign for out-there antics (paging Kayne), even though the energy's always a little edgier when the VMAs hit NYC.
The Performers: There's an exceptionally explosive mix of A-list artists that can be counted on to bring showmanship (Beyonce, Adele, Bruno Mars, Lil Wayne, Ne-Yo, Pitbull, and Young the Giant) and, if we're lucky, a little scandal (Gaga – who's opening the show - and Chris Brown).
The Big Moments: It seems like it wouldn't be the VMAs without one of the show's nigh-annual tributes to (yeee-awn) Britney Spears, and this year's no different, but along with that lightweight exercise expect things to get heavy when the legendary Tony Bennett plays homage to the late Amy Winehouse – who never appeared at the VMAs, by the way – with "Body and Soul," the duet the two recorded that turned out the be the soul singer's last trip to the studio.
The Presenters: Given that there's no host to quip the night fantastic, the lineup is worrisome for those of us hoping for some genuinely snarky, non-TelePrompTered banter and left-field curveballs (Will Ferrell, Jack Black, Jonah Hill, and Seth Rogen may deliver, but we're especially counting on "Curb Your Enthusiasm's" JB Smoove and hip hop collective Odd Future; not so much on Zoe Saldana, Kevin Hart, Victoria Justice, Rick Ross, Selena Gomez, Taylor Lautner, Drake, Joe Jonas and Jared Leto). Maybe a Nicki Minaj wardrobe malfunction can save the day, because Kim Kardashian interrupting her honeymoon to show up and the obligatory fist-pumping from the "Jersey Shore" cast won't.
The Filler: Continuing the VMA's, um, grand tradition of trotting out the stars of films you can't see for another six months to a year to present exclusive "first-look" clips, Jennifer Lawrence will be introducing some hastily assembled rushes from "The Hunger Games" to whet your appetite.
The Newest Moonman: Introducing a brand-new award category, Best Video With a Message, which MTV says "celebrates the powerful intersection of music and social activism, and highlights artists who created music videos with positive messages of self-empowerment or raised awareness of key social issues facing today's youth." We're counting on this one to be as wildly heavy-handed and lacking in all humility as possible.
The Winners: Yeah, you can expect Adele to be Rolling In a Deep Pile of trophies and Katy Perry will be clutching multiple Moonmen to her décolletage, but with both Beyonce and Kayne West multi-nominated and in the house, we eagerly urge someone to advance-pen a sequel protest-prompting tirade from one of them if the other's edged out.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
Whether you fell asleep early, stayed out too late, or simply want to watch it again, we realize it's not always possible to get your entire "Piers Morgan Live" fix from television. As an answer to this, we offer the below labor of love – "Piers Morgan Live, Rewind" – dedicated and designed to getting you caught up and connected to the conversation.
On Thursday, "Piers Morgan Live" welcomed Jay Carney for a primetime interview that comes amidst a multitude of supposed scandals currently bearing down on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Asked to defend recent reports questioning Barack Obama's involvement, or perceived lack thereof, in events tied to his own administration, the White House Press Secretary insisted that the commander-in-chief's activity has been in complete accordance with protocol:
"It is entirely inappropriate for a president or a White House to be engaged in or, you know, inappropriately knowledgeable about a criminal investigation the likes of which is under way as we understand it by the Justice Department," noted Carney. "Those kind of narratives sound right but when you peel back the onion just a little bit, the facts just don't support it. What the president has done when it comes to the IRS situation is that when he found out based on the I.G.'s report that there had been inappropriate and wrong conduct by IRS personnel, he spoke out about it, he made clear he thought it was an outrage and he has taken action. He is the only person thus far who has taken action."
A week after winning a special election in South Carolina, Mark Sanford spoke live with Piers Morgan in an interview that came at the conclusion of his first day back at work.
Asked by the host to address recent controversies — including the IRS's supposed targeting of the Tea Party and other conservative groups, as well as the Department of Justice reportedly seizing the Associated Press's phone records – Sanford suggested that such scandals were merely a microcosm of behavior consistent with the government's behavior:
"This is part of a larger pattern that I do think obviously disturbs conservatives. And I think it ought to concern every American regardless of one's political stripe or flavor. And that is the pattern within the executive branch, within the administration, of overstepping bounds. And so if you look at here the size and scale of, you know, the AP investigation, its scale is completely out of bounds with what you've seen in the past," he told the "Piers Morgan Live" host. "I think that the frustrating thing for a lot of folks, as they begin to look into these three different mine fields, is has there been a pattern of the executive branch over-stretching with regard to what it has historically done, particularly as it relates to I think a great tradition in this country, which is an independent and open press."
On Thursday evening, Piers Morgan debuted a brand new segment entitled "The BullPenn," during which he invited American illusionist, comedian, and author Penn Jillette to share his candid commentary on some of the polarizing issues dominating the news cycle.
"This is one of those things that just breaks my heart," confessed Jillette, referring to recent revelations that the IRS had targeted various conservative groups. "I have a lot of friends in the small government movement, the Tea Party movement, you know, that I don't necessarily agree with on everything. When they say stuff like the IRS is targeting them, I want to be able to dismiss them. I want to be able to say, you're just being nuts. You're being paranoid. This is tinfoil hat stuff. I never want them proven right."
Nodding with approval, Morgan took the topic one step further, agreeing in part with some of his previous guests suggestion that a government takeover isn't entirely out of the realm of possibility:
"I've had some of the pro-gun lobbyists on here saying to me, 'well, the reason we need to be armed is because of tyranny from our own government.' And I've always laughed at them. And I've always said, 'don't be so ridiculous. Your own government won't turn itself on you.' But, actually, when you look at this — it's nothing to do with guns. But actually, this is vaguely tyrannical behavior by the American government. I think what the IRS did is bordering on tyrannical behavior. I think what the Department of Justice has done, actually, to the AP is bordering on tyrannical behavior."
Joining the host for a live, face to face interview, the 58-year-old noted Atheist concurred:
"This's no doubt about that," said the man who comprises 50 percent of the famed magical team Penn & Teller. "I also think that it shows you how much we can trust the government and just sit back, which is not very much at all. We have to be ever vigilant."

You actually came close to real journalism last night while interviewing Jay Carney, Piers. Your started to interject a salient point in response to Carney's assertion that acting IRS Commissioner Steve Miller was fired by Obama, but you sheepishly allowed him to dominate the interview and talk over you, so you lost your nerve to correctly pointing out to Carney that was actually about to retire anyway. Way to throw softballs. No wonder your ratings are so far below Fox News.
Not to mention that Mr Miller was stepping down in 2 weeks anyway. Some punishment... And yes, where is all the interrupting of guests from Morgan we're so used to? Guess we know who's really signing Morgan's paycheck and I doubt it's Ted Turner.

Did Piers Morgan just say he now understand the concept of needing to be armed to protect yourself from your government! WOW! My brain is officially blown! "These are the days that try men's souls" I am a card carrying NRA member and will never leave the protection of myself, my family, or my community to the government alone, because absolute power corrupts absolutely. I live by one very simple idea "All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good men to stand and do nothing" Sir Edmund Burke. I will not give up my inalienable rights given to me by God and nature, not now nor ever, because those who give up the right of self protection will have no way to stop someone from taking the other right from them, so to me the 2nd Amendment is by far the most important one.
Given by God and nature...dear oh dear oh dear NRA Robot.
Time of the month?
WOW really? Is it my time of the month? Oh how respectful and supportive of a woman's personal opinion, yep Libs are certainly the party of tolerance and the party for women! So the fact that I am a well trained woman who is a very responsible gun owner doesn't matter, nor does the fact that I have been the victim of a violent crime and personally know the cost of being unarmed. That's right just a brainwashed robot here!
You wanna talk about God,Robot?
We built the spire of Westminster to His glory,then go look at Lincoln,Durham,York,Wells,Canterbury,and on,and on,
in worship of Him for a 1000 years while YOU'RE still a swamp.(NOTHING like them in Overrated And Over There.)
Wish it still was.
They're like Masons with guns,yo.
(Wayne La Pierre looks like Dennis Nilsen.)
Dear Melissa,
Well,stop going on about God and guns:James VI of Scotland DOES NOT say in His Bible about Amerika owning guns.
And I'VE been a victim of violent crime too,as has my family in Scotland's worst ever crime with the exception of Glencoe,
and the aftermath of Culloden.It's on the other page.
We had a member of the NRA pretty much THREATENING us from the off a month ago,and glad he left again.[Dan].
For me,if the NRA concentrated on marksmanship and dexterity,steady arms,locking 'em away unlike Mrs Lanza I'd have
more tolerance for them.But they just want to peddle more guns regardless what happens in Connecticut.
P.S.I apologize for T.O.T.M.,a low blow,no pun intended.

Regarding Pier's interview with Penn Gillette. It's good to see Mr Morgan be able to open his eyes and recognize the danger of what's transpiring, and can happen if we continue down the road of top-down, State run CONTROL.
And this isn't just an issue of the political right being attacked. It could very easily be the left in a couple years. Worse yet is that the IRS will be overseeing our Healthcare system, and the woman running that is the one who was over those responsible for these recent violations.
Hopefully, we can get past all these SuperPACs, thanks to yet another bad SCOTUS decision and have both parties advertising dollars be a bit more honest and less distorted. Then again, maybe I'm asking too much here.

Electromagnetism facts for kids(Redirected from Electromagnetic field)
Electromagnetism is the study of the electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field pushes or pulls anything that has an electric charge. The electromagnetic field affects all of space.
Electric fields
An electric field is an area where charged particles will feel an electric force. The units used to measure electric fields are newtons per coulomb. Electromagnetism is closely related to both electricity and magnetism because both involve movement of electrons.
Electric fields can be drawn as arrows. The arrows point which way a positive particle, like a proton, will be pushed if it's in the field. Negative particles, like electrons, will go in the opposite direction as the arrows. In an electric field, arrows will point away from positive particles, and towards negative ones. So, a proton in an electric field would move away from another proton, or towards an electron.
A magnetic field is a part of the electric field that only exerts a force on moving charges.
Through electromagnetic induction, a changing magnetic field can produce an electric field. This concept is used to make electric generators, induction motors, and transformers work. Since the two types of fields were dependent on each other, the two are thought to be one. Together they are called the electromagnetic field.
The electromagnetic force is one of the fundamental forces of nature. The electromagnetic force is the force that causes an attraction between electrons and the positive nucleus. All forces between atoms are caused by the electromagnetic force.
Electromagnetic radiation
The electromagnetic radiation is thought to be both a particle and a wave. This is because it sometimes acts like a particle and sometimes acts like a wave. To make things easier we can think of an electromagnetic wave as a stream of photons (symbol γ).
A photon is an elementary particle. It is the particle that light is made up of. Photons also make up all other types of electromagnetic radiation such as gamma rays, X-rays, and UV rays. The idea of photons was thought up by Einstein. Using his theory for the photoelectric effect, Einstein said that light existed in small "packets" or parcels which he called photons.
Photons have energy and momentum. When two electromagnetic fields act on each other, they switch photons. So photons carry the electromagnetic force between charged objects. Photons are also known as messenger particles in physics because these particles often carry messages between objects. Photons send messages saying "come closer" or "go away" depending on the charges of the objects that are being looked at. If a force exists while time passes, then photons are being exchanged during that time.
Fundamental electromagnetic interactions occur between any two particles that have electric charge. These interactions involve the exchange or production of photons. Thus, photons are the carrier particles of electromagnetic interactions.
Electromagnetic decay processes can often be recognized by the fact that they produce one or more photons (also known as gamma rays). They proceed less rapidly than strong decay processes with comparable mass differences, but more rapidly than comparable weak decays.
In 1600, William Gilbert said that electricity and magnetism were two different effects in his book De Magnete. The link between electricity and magnetism was found through the work of Hans Christian Ørsted. A scientist named Ampère then used mathematics in electromagnetism. Many physicists then developed a theory of electromagnetism now known as classical electromagnetism. James Clerk Maxwell then brought everything together into one theory of electromagnetism. This type of electromagnetism was based on Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz force law. Maxwell's studies showed what light actually was. Maxwell's work did not work with classical mechanics because he said that the speed of light was always constant. It only depended on the permeability of the substance it was travelling through. This led to the development of the theory of special relativity by Einstein.
Problems in classical electromagnetism
Albert Einstein's work with the photoelectric effect and Max Planck's work with black body radiation did not work with the traditional view of light as a continuous wave. This problem would be solved after the development of quantum mechanics in 1925. This development led to the development of quantum electrodynamics which was developed by Richard Feynman and Julian Schwinger. Quantum electrodynamics was able to describe the interactions particles in detail.

KU scientists key in uncovering Greenland aquifer
LAWRENCE — A hidden aquifer the size of Ireland recently discovered within the ice layers of a glacier in Greenland could hold the key to better understanding how annual melting at the ice surface could affect sea level rise.
The Dec. 22 issue of the prestigious scientific journal Nature details the existence of a significant amount of melt water stored in old compacted snow, known as firn. Radar technology developed by researchers at the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) at the University of Kansas played a key role in identifying and confirming the previously undetected pool of water within the ice sheet. Richard Forster, professor of geography at the University of Utah, led the research project. Four KU researchers were cited as contributing authors.
Discovery of the aquifer could provide more details on how much melt water from firn-covered regions is partitioned into runoff and flows into the sea and how much is left behind in the ice sheet to refreeze. This, in turn, provides a bigger-picture look at how much annual surface heating could contribute to sea level rise.
The Nature article details how in April 2011, researchers stumbled upon the existence of vast amounts of water pooled below the glacial surface. The discovery happened during routine work drilling cores in the ice to measure the thicknesses of annually accumulating snow layers.
Forster and his colleagues were surprised to hit water 10 meters deep on their first drill, so they packed their equipment and moved a few miles in search of a spot that was solid ice. After hitting water a second time, they turned to thousands of radar images of the ice from the surface to the bed gathered by CReSIS. These data helped determine the size of the subsurface layer of water, which ranges from five to 50 meters deep across an area of nearly 850 kilometers of southern Greenland.
The article also makes the case for further research and additional measurements of Greenland's unexplored interior regions.
KU's contributing authors are Prasad Gogineni, distinguished professor of electrical engineering and computer science and CReSIS director; Carl Leuschen, associate professor of electrical engineering and CReSIS deputy director; John Paden, associate scientist, and Cameron Lewis, graduate research assistant.
Nature was first published in 1869 and is one of the most cited interdisciplinary scientific journals in the world.
CReSIS was established by the National Science Foundation in 2005 with the mission of developing new technologies and computer models to measure and predict the response of sea level change to the mass balance of ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. Data collected with CReSIS technologies have helped uncover a massive canyon buried under miles of ice in Greenland and provided an updated, more detailed topographic map of Antarctica under its blanket of ice.

DAMAGE DETECTION USING SUBSTRUCTURE IDENTIFICATION by Charles Edward DeVore A Dissertation Presented to the FACULTY OF THE USC GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (CIVIL ENGINEERING) May 2013 Copyright 2013 Charles Edward DeVore

|As civil infrastructure ages, occupants and users are placed at risk. Due to limited funding, agencies are required to push structures past their original design lifetime. This creates an imperative for the civil engineering community to develop robust and accurate methods for monitoring the health of civil structures and ensuring public safety. This goal is realized by developing methods to detect both long-term degradation and immediate post-event health assessment. New methods are required because current practice, based on subjective time- and labor-intensive visual inspection is unable to adequately meet these needs. This requires novel research to transform the current state-of-the-art of visual inspection into a new paradigm of continuous monitoring. ❧ Substructure identification has emerged as a promising damage detection and long-term monitoring tool for civil structures. Substructure identification starts by applying a reduced order model to a portion of the structure --- analogous to a coarse finite element model --- and then forms an estimator of the reduced order behavior using response measurements from the global structure. Its benefits are increased sensitivity to common structural damage, decentralized data processing, improved statistical performance, and others. This work develops a generalized framework for formulating substructure estimators. Moreover, it develops two important predictors of estimator performance: model function curvature and an identification error analysis. This allows the analyst to develop an improved estimator and evaluate its performance. ❧ These theoretical developments are applied to several simulations including uncertainty propagation, damage detection, and damage localization. These simulations demonstrate that substructure identification is well-suited for chain structures. Next, a controlled substructure identification procedure is described and the performance is evaluated. An active control law is developed using non-convex constrained optimization. ❧ Experimental verification is provided by two studies. First, a two-story, bench-scale flexible structure is identified. Then, improved identification precision is provided by passive structural control. The second study uses a 12 ft, four-story, steel structure. This structure is identified and damage, caused by releasing a story-level's boundary condition, is detected. Moreover, second-floor identification is not achieved, which is correctly predicted by the identification error analysis developed herein. ❧ Concluding remarks are provided and avenues for future work are detailed. Specifically, an active control experiment using the 12 ft structure is proposed. Semi-active control design is discussed and substructure identification estimators for frame and bridge structures are outlined.

No winter sun? Norwegian mountain town installs giant mirrors
By Tom Jordan, for CNN • Updated 1st November 2013
View Gallery
9 Pictures
A sun-starved
town has finally seen the light -- by installing giant mirrors on the surrounding mountains to reflect rays onto its market square.
The small town of Rjukan sits deep in the narrow Vestfjord Valley, in the Telemark region south-west of Oslo. The towering peaks that surround it rise to almost 2,000 meters above sea level and block out the sunlight for half the year, meaning Rjukan residents live in a permanent shadow from September to March.
But all that changed this week, with the official launch of a project first mooted a century ago. Three high-tech mirrors, with a combined reflective surface of 50 square meters, have been put into operation on a ridge on Gaustatoppen mountain, brightening up the previously gloomy town center by flooding it with up to 600 square meters of sunlight.
Twenty-first century technology has made the $850,000 project possible, with heliostats -- computer-powered mirrors -- shifting every 10 seconds to track the movements of the sun during the day.
But the idea to lighten up the dark town actually dates back 100 years.
Hala Gorani, in for Christiane Amanpour, tells the story of Norwegian town that is using mirrors to brighten the winter.
Rjukan was originally founded as a company town for Norsk Hydro, which set up a fertilizer plant here to utilize the hydro power from the nearby 104 meter Rjukanfossen waterfall. The story goes that the aluminum and renewable energy company's founder, Sam Eyde, wanted a way to brighten up the existence of his shadowed laborers -- and also to make them work more effectively during the winter.
The local newspaper published a suggestion by local bookkeeper Oskar Kittelsen to use a mirror to reflect sunlight onto the town, and Eyde picked up on the idea. Technological limitations of the day meant the scheme never came to fruition, however, and instead northern Europe's first cable car (known as Krossobanen) was built in 1928 to give Rjukan residents sunlight exposure at the top of the mountain.

And that was that -- until the sun mirror concept was revived nearly a century later in 2005 by local artist Martin Andersen, who raised the sponsorship funds (mainly from Norsk Hydro) and interest in the project.
Solar Tower Systems
, a company that builds mirror systems for solar thermal power plants in hotter climes, was drafted in to install the mirrors on the mountain wall -- not an easy task.
"There's no road leading to the construction site," says CEO Joachim Maass. "You can hike there in an hour or so, but there was no alternative than to carry heavy equipment there by helicopter."
There was no way to get a heavy crane up there, so Maass had to improvise to maneuver the six-meter high mirrors into place.
"We used ancient tools, such as tripods made from wood nine meters long which we could bend together. We lifted this modern equipment with technology that people used 100 years ago, and it worked really well."
As well as improving the vitamin D intake of residents,
tourism officials
hope that the sun mirrors will boost the city's winter visitor numbers.

"It's magnificent now that it's in place," says Tracy Murphy, owner of town center business
Café Nye Tider
. "[This week's] mirror reveal was something that has never happened before -- sun in the middle of Rjukan.
"It's amazing and it gives the town a real draw in the winter time. Most of tourism in the winter is focused on snow sports in the mountains and ice climbing in the local areas around us. The fact that people will come to town just to see if the sun is shining is fantastic."
Rjukan's mayor, Steinar Bergsland, agrees.
"The sun mirror means a lot to Rjukan, both for tourism and for industry, which is our origin," he says. "It's a perfect combination of technology and art -- and of course it is a great welfare activity for the citizens of Rjukan."
Not that Rjukan is without its attractions already. As well as the cable car (
; +47 35 09 00 27) and the winter sports on Gaustatoppen Mountain, the town is near the vast mountain plateau of Hardangervidda National Park, good for hiking, cross-country skiing and reindeer spotting, among other activities.
The area is also the location of the World War II sabotages made famous by the 1965 movie "The Heroes of Telemark." Rjukan's industrial heritage is celebrated in the
Norwegian Industrial Workers Museum
, and could even see it earn UNESCO World Heritage status by 2015 (it's currently on the 'nominated' list).
Thanks to a 100-year old idea, visitors can also come for a spot of sunshine, too.

text: 'State Pension top up' scheme A new scheme is being launched offering anyone reaching State Pension age before 6 April 2016 a chance to increase their State Pension by up to £25 a week. People are eligible if they are entitled to a UK State Pension and have already reached their State Pension age or reach it before 6 April 2016. This includes men born before 6 April 1951 and women born before 6 April 1953. The scheme will remain open for 18 months and those who think they can benefit will be able to buy additional State Pension, worth up to £1,300 a year. In most cases, surviving spouses and civil partners will be able to inherit at least 50% of the extra pension. Minister for Pensions, Baroness Altmann said: 'This government's commitment is to provide security for working people at every stage of their lives, and that includes giving people the chance to enjoy a financially secure retirement. We have already committed to protecting pensioner incomes with the triple lock - uprating the basic State Pension by at least 2.5% each year of this Parliament. The new State Pension, coming in from April 2016, will ensure a simpler, more sustainable State Pension for the pensioners of tomorrow. Top up is an opportunity for people already retired, or reaching State Pension age before April 2016, to boost their later life income. It won't be right for everybody and it's important to seek guidance or advice to check if it's the right option for you. But it could be particularly attractive for those who haven't had the chance to build significant amounts of State Pension, particularly many women and people who have been self-employed.' Anyone who thinks they might benefit should seek advice and can use the online calculator to help them find out more. More information on State Pension top up and how to apply is available at www.gov.uk/statepensiontopup. Internet links: GOV.UK news GOV.UK policies

It is no surprise that security is top of mind today for business leadership and governments worldwide. Over 70 percent of surveyed companies say cybersecurity is a board-level concern that their top executives support both financially and culturally. These same companies also suffered two to three focused attacks that breached security each month; attacks they confirmed could take months or even years to detect.
What exactly does an effective security strategy look like? To define high performance security objectively, Accenture developed The Accenture Security Index, which assesses performance across 33 cybersecurity capabilities, at both the industry and country level, helping business leaders understand the effectiveness of their security measures. Organizations that have a clear picture of where they stand across these capabilities can then take proper measures to substantially reduce cybersecurity threats.
At the global level, Accenture research found that, on average, the typical organization reported it was competent or highly competent in only 11 of the 33 cybersecurity capabilities, suggesting significant room for improvement across the board. Only 9 percent managed to achieve competence in more than 25 of the 33 capabilities. Industry-level performance includes a high level of variation. Communications, Banking and High Technology respondents performed with higher levels of competence in 14 to 15 cybersecurity capabilities, compared with Life Sciences companies, which typically exhibited competence in only six capabilities. The country level also exhibits significant variation in performance. United Kingdom tops the list along with France, with higher levels of competence in 15 out of 33 cybersecurity capabilities. In contrast, Spain is at the bottom of the list, with competence in only seven out of 33 capabilities. The United States has higher levels of competence in 12 out of 33 capabilities.
Using a comprehensive model, Accenture assessed performance across 33 cybersecurity capabilities at both the industry and country level. To capture a clear, objective measure of performance, the survey defined specific criteria to characterize three levels of competence: none/ limited, average or high. For example, a rating of no or limited competence when identifying high-value assets and processes in the business means the organization fails to identify key assets and processes consistently. A high score means the company clearly identifies key assets and processes and reviews cyber impact regularly.
The following six recommendations can help to focus the improvement efforts of companies that have used to security index to assess their strengths and weaknesses:
Define cybersecurity success for the organization: Improve the alignment of the company's cybersecurity strategy with its business imperatives, and enhance abilities to detect and repel more advanced attacks.
Pressure-test security capabilities: Engage "white-hat" external hackers for attack simulations to establish a realistic assessment of internal capabilities. By pressure-testing company defenses in this way, leaders quickly understand whether they can really withstand a targeted, focused attack.
Protect from the inside out: Prioritize the protection of key assets and focus on those internal incursions with greatest potential impact. Instead of attempting to anticipate a variety of external breach possibilities, organizations can concentrate on fewer, critical internal incursions.
Keep innovating: Invest in state-of-the-art programs that enable the company to outmaneuver adversaries, instead of spending more on existing programs.
Make security everyone's job: Prioritize training for all employees. Employees play a critical role in detecting and preventing breaches. They represent a company's first line of defense. Appropriate training can pay disproportionate dividends.
Lead from the top: CISOs must materially engage with enterprise leadership and make the case that cybersecurity is a critical priority in protecting company value.

Los Gatos Priest Beating Case Trial Date Now Changed to June

Los Gatos Priest Beating Case Trial Date Now Changed to June
Pretrial motion Friday postponed until May 3, with jury selection taking place May 14 and presentation of evidence June 19.
By Sheila Sanchez April 7, 2012
Friday's scheduled pretrial motions in the case against a San Francisco man accused of beating a priest at the Los Gatos Sacred Heart Jesuit Center in May of 2010 have been postponed until 9 a.m., May 3.
William Lynch, 44, has been arraigned on one count of felony assault with intent to cause great bodily injury and one count of elder abuse under circumstances likely to produce great bodily harm or death. He has pleaded not guilty to both charges.
The scheduled hearing was changed since presiding Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge David Cena is tied up with a homicide trial that is running longer than expected.
The pretrial motions hearing, a time for any legal issue that will arise during the high-profile trial to be addressed by the prosecution and the defense, will be followed by jury selection May 14
The presentation of the evidence is expected to start on or around June 19, instead of the earlier reported date of May 29, said Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Gemetti.
Jury selection will be performed using jury questionnaires with potential jurors being called in to court and given the document to fill out and then reviewed by the attorneys.
Counsel will then meet and discuss which jurors need to be questioned for so-called "cause," necessary in every trial to weed down the full veneer of potential jurors to the 12 jurors and alternates who will sit on the case, explained Gemetti.
Attorneys will question the jurors for any biases or any impediments to sit for "cause," such as someone having been convicted of a similar crime or who may have a family member working in the DA's office or law enforcement and their objectivity is compromised.
After the panel has been passed for cause, meaning there are no legal reasons why the jurors can't sit on the case, each attorney will have 10 pre-emptory challenges that can be exercised and they'll go back and forth to determine which jurors will be sworn in, Gemetti added.
The proceedings are taking place in Judge Cena's courtroom, department 34 of the Santa Clara County Hall of Justice in San Jose.
"Once we've sworn the jury in … we're going to stick to that schedule to the best of our abilities," Gemetti said about the delays in the trial start date. "Obviously trials are fluid and things may change and emergencies do happen, but … once we have those 12 people and they're told the dates, things won't change too much."
The questionnaire presented to the jurors will probably be several pages long containing a list of questions and topics, some inquiries from the court and some submitted by the defense and the prosecution.
Lynch is being represented by Pat Harris and Mark Geragos, with the Los Angeles-based law firm of Geragos & Geragos.
Authorities say he walked into the center's reception area the afternoon of May 10, 2010 and asked to speak to Father Jerold Lindner. He said he had a death notification about a member of the priest's family and then allegedly assaulted him.
The case is being closely watched by critics of the Roman Catholic Church who allege Lindner raped and sodomized Lynch and his brother when they were small boys in the '70s while on camping trips.
If a jury convicts Lynch, he's could serve a maximum of four years in state prison. The court, however, could grant him probation and give him up to one year in county jail, Gemetti said.
"We have been ready for trial for quite some time," Gemetti said. "I'm quite anxious to get the matter proceeding."

Victim Advocates Question Security Around Defrocked Jesuit Brethren
Head of Jesuit order says men are under strict supervision at center in Los Gatos.
By Sheila Sanchez January 10, 2011
The Sacred Heart Jesuit Center in Los Gatos has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons. One of its defrocked priests was beaten in May 2010. The alleged attacker appeared in court in December and will face a judge on Feb. 7 for a preliminary hearing in a case that will probably go to trial.
Santa Clara County prosecutors are accusing 44-year-old William Lynch of mauling Jesuit priest Jerold Lindner with his fists, said Lynch's attorney Pat Harris. Lynch has said Lindner sodomized and raped him and his brother as young boys.
Lynch's supporters, who include members of the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP), plan a news conference after the hearing at the Santa Clara County Superior Court building on Hedding Street in San Jose and a march in Los Gatos, according to Harris.
The supporters are taking this opportunity to complain about the security measures at the center, which houses Lindner, 65, and five other retired priests or brethren who have faced charges of sexual abuse. They claim the men can leave the compound at any time and that the supervision plans aren't strict enough.
One of them, Charles Leonard Connor, 89,who was never an ordained priest, pleaded no contest in 2001 to a lewd act on a man who suffered from mental retardation who worked at the center.
The two, along with three other men, whom the order will not identify, live in the large Jesuit compound at 300 College Ave. The center includes a retirement home, an assisted-living facility and a skilled nursing infirmary. Here, 75 elderly priests live out the rest of their lives after serving in the elite order of priesthood in the Roman Catholic Church.
The Rev. John P. McGarry, the provincial of the California Province of the Society of Jesus, said the concerns about the five men who live at the center are exaggerated.
McGarry is head supervisor at the center and leader of the 375 Jesuit priests who work in California.
He said none of the men is under investigation right now.
Connor is housed in the center's skilled nursing facility, is confined to a wheelchair and has severe dementia, McGarry said. "He's totally incapacitated," he said. "Better that we take care of them there than having them be out on their own in the community."
Lindner, said McGarry, is under a strict security plan that prevents him from leaving the center unsupervised.
"He didn't drive himself to the hospital," he said, referring to newspaper reports that said he had done so, which triggered victims' protests.
He explained that nursing staff at the center attended to him, and that either one of the Jesuits in the community or one of the nurses on duty drove him to the hospital. "He wouldn't have been able to drive … He was badly beaten up. His head was bleeding," McGarry said.
Dan McNevin, a San Francisco SNAP volunteer, is skeptical and upset the Catholic Church hasn't found another location to house clergy charged, accused or investigated of abuse. "Why are they living there and not in a more secure location?" said McNevin.
The deep distrust against the order, McNevin said, is caused by numerous incidents that indicate that the Jesuit hierarchy has covered up incidents to protect the order's reputation.
"A priest who has abused should be behind bars and not living in a retreat center," said McNevin.
McGarry has an answer to that. "If I had any concern that the men living here, who have allegations against them and who are on safety plans, were a risk to the larger community or a risk for reoffending, I would not have them living here," he said.
The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office handled the Lynch incident in May because of jurisdiction issues regarding where the center is located. If something were to happen in the center's parking lot, however, the Los Gatos Monte Sereno police department would step in, said police spokesman Sgt. Kerry Harris. But he said the center has never given the town any problems.
"We've never had any issues with them," Harris said.
For those looking for assurances, McGarry points to the fact that the center has been accredited by the Austin-based Praesidium risk management group, which has established criteria regarding the prevention of and response to sexual abuse of minors by Jesuit authorities. He added that Praesidium had renewed the center's certification in July 2010.
The five men who live at the center have served at one time or another in Jesuit schools such as Bellarmine College Preparatory, Sacred Heart Nativity School and Most Holy Trinity Parish in San Jose and Santa Clara University in Santa Clara.
McGarry said the order's policy continues to be to turn over to criminal and civil authorities allegations of priestly misconduct with minors. The province provides pastoral care and counseling to any person that comes forward and makes an allegation of sexual abuse, he said. He said he's met often with people who have made allegations.
Joey Piscitelli, Northern California director for the Survivors Network for Those Abused by Priests, isn't buying it. "They have aided, abetted, shuffled, protected and promoted known child rapists for decades, and that's criminal behavior," he said.
Piscitelli, who says he was molested by a Salesian priest, won a $5 million settlement award against the order after a jury trial in 2006.
Piscitelli has protested outside the center several times, along with John Chevedden, whose brother, Jesuit priest James Chevedden, killed himself when he jumped from the sixth floor of the Santa Clara County Courthouse's parking garage in 2005.
Chevedden accused the Jesuits of negligence in his brother's death and in 2007 and settled with the order for $1.6 million.
He said the Lynch case is another example of how victims of abuse suffer for a long time. "It's disturbing to see how long-lasting and traumatic the abuse is to the victims … that after 35 years it still has a strong impact," Chevedden said.
What I also found interesting was one of the comments posted under this article:
Fr. Thomas Smolich, promoted to be the # 1 Jesuit in the USA, said a Jesuit priest and resident at the Los Gatos Center, Fr. James Chevedden committed suicide. The Jesuit Order even issued a news release claiming Fr. Chevedden's suspicious death was a suicide. Fr. Smolich also told Fr. Chevedden's family that the Jesuit Order would keep Fr. Chevedden's body.
Fr. Chevedden had earlier reported to Fr. Smolich that he was the victim of Jesuit sex abuse at Los Gatos by a Jesuit Religious Brother, Br. Charles Connor. Br. Connor and Fr. Jerold Lindner were friends. Lindner helped Br. Connor with computers and both sat at the same small meal table.
Ironically or worse, the last Jesuit to see Fr. Chevedden alive was Fr. Lindner, with $2 million paid out in sex abuse settlements. The Jesuit Order did not tell the police that Fr. Lindner was the last Jesuit to see Fr. Chevedden alive. Fr. Lindner was scheduled to testify about his being the last Jesuit to see Fr. Chevedden alive in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Fr. Chevedden's Dad. The Jesuit Order paid $1.6 million to settle the lawsuit. Thus Fr. Lindner avoided explaining his being last Jesuit to see Fr. Chevedden alive.
