A teacher at an Illinois suburban Christian school has been charged with a felony, after he was fired for allegedly masturbating behind a podium while teaching class.
Schaumburg police said he might have been doing it for the past 10 years or more.
Paul LaDuke, 75, has now been charged with sexual exploitation of a child. LaDuke has been a math teacher at the school for 26 years.
Last Friday, a student at Schaumburg Christian School reported to another teacher that LaDuke appeared to be masturbating while seated at his podium during class.
The teacher notified the school administration, which launched an internal investigation.
LaDuke was fired last Friday and, this Monday, school officials contacted Schaumburg police.
Detectives interviewed several students and LaDuke was subsequently arrested.
Investigators determined that, while seated at a podium in class, LaDuke unzipped and lowered his pants and masturbated while students were present in the classroom.
"Through the course of our investigation, our detectives have come to believe that this has happened several times per year for 10 years or more, possibly," Schaumburg Police Sgt. John Nebel said.
Asked if there had been previous complaints that did not result in any action against LaDuke, Nebel said no.
"It's not that it's been reported and nothing has been done, it's just that during the course of the investigation, we've come to learn certain information and I can't go further for the fact that there's a possibility of more charges before a grand jury," Nebel said.
Police said there is no evidence that LaDuke touched any students in an inappropriate manner or harmed them physically.
LaDuke is due for a bond hearing on Wednesday at the Rolling Meadows courthouse.

If Vicious Victor Ortiz wins the fight on September 17th it will be sports biggest upsets ever. He will no doubt be the top guy for a VERY long time. Victor will make his own rules and be a money fight for anyone who wants to fight him. He could pick to fight Khan or Pac, hell even another rematch with Marcos M. His future will be in his own hands. But if he loses then what? Will his stock go down or will Khan want to fight him or Pac? Will he get the big names fights? Everyone knows that if May loses that Pac fight is down the toilet and he can just retire because no one will care to see him fight. That 0 is keeping people interested. But Ortiz is young, how will he keep people interested in seeing him fight if he loses to May?
Depending on how he loses (if he does) will determine his future. If he gives May all he can handle then people will respect him, being beaten by May is nothing to cry about. I like Victor, he has a nice story and I like his cockiness. Its appealing and sales tickets. I am pulling for MJ but I have respect for Victor, I just hope the boxing world does too after Sep 17th. Any thoughts?

It will not be the biggest upset in sports ever. It will not be the biggest upset in boxing ever. It will not be the biggest upset in boxing this year. It'll just be the loudest. Floyd's not unbeatable, he's been fought well before, he's a bit older now and he may theoretically be more vulnerable. I doubt we see Floyd standing in front of Ortiz in this fight, I think we'll see him ready to get on the back foot and box if he runs into a determined young foe early on. Ortiz needs to be fearless and relentless with the attitude that he wants to kill Mayweather in the ring. If he can fight with that attitude for 12 rounds, he can win. Mayweather isn't accustomed to punishment, and he'll quit if things get too rough.
Having said that, I don't think it'll happen. 5-1 seem like appropriate odds.
The bad scenario for Ortiz here would be a humiliating loss. Another scenario would be that he gets badly broken down over the course of the fight, and because he and Garcia are eager to show he is not a coward, he may fight too courageously for his own good. Nobody seriously see's him winning this fight, so if he just fights to expectations -- that he will provide Mayweather a good test run for the Pacquiao fight next year -- then he can hopefully get another good pay day, against Khan, a rematch with Berto, or whoever. This could very well turn out like Jones-Tarver I as well, which would basically mean a victory for Ortiz.

"High Status" Body Language to Attract Women
If you communicate that you're a "low status guy" - and most guys do - you will blow it BIG TIME. Here's how to avoid this mistake…
By David DeAngelo
Ever wonder why so many attractive women try SO hard to look even hotter and dress even sexier when they go out?
It's an interesting question.
Let's think about it from the woman's perspective…
An attractive woman gets attention from men all the time, no matter how she looks or what she's wearing.
She doesn't need to "accent" her beauty to get attention from men looking to attract beautiful women.
And the question becomes even more interesting when you consider that, most often, it's the MOST BEAUTIFUL women who go to the GREATEST lengths to enhance their beauty.
But WHY?
Here a few of the reasons attractive women go to such great lengths to squeeze that "extra little bit" out of their beauty…
Imagine that a beautiful woman is getting ready to go to a party.
There will be a hundred men at this party, and it follows that only a few of them will be the "best" ones.
Do you think this beautiful woman will settle for one of the average (or worse) ones running around, dropping lame lines "designed" to attract hot women?
No way.
A woman wants to get the "best" man in the room. But the best man also has OPTIONS. Lots of women to choose from.
So she feels like she needs to "fix herself up" to have the BEST chance of getting THAT guy.
Attractive women tend to be VERY, VERY competitive.
When a "hot" woman walks into a room, EVERYONE checks her out.
It's competition, intimidation, and millions of years of evolution rolled up into one ferocious package
Guys looks her up and down with a "let me get a good look because I'll be using her as a spank-it fantasy later" stare.
But the "best" men in the room, the ones who have REAL options, only glance quickly and make a mental note to talk to her later.
Meanwhile, the OTHER hot women in the room all look at her and give her…
Because another hot woman is instantly seen as COMPETITION. She doesn't want OTHER hot women competing with her for the "best guys."
It's competition, intimidation, and millions of years of evolution rolled up into one ferocious package.
In order to MINIMIZE their competition, they FIX THEMSELVES UP and emphasize their good points TO THE MAX.
One of my favorite concepts is "Never let the line go slack".
This means that once you SPARK "chemistry" or "sexual tension", you need to KEEP IT UP.
Just because she starts doing things that hint she's interested, doesn't mean that it's time for you to STOP.
Quite the opposite, actually.
Turn UP the volume. It's working, so do more!
At the very core of human psychology and behavior are the concepts of ATTENTION and APPROVAL. Some evolutionary theorists think that the basic formula goes like this:
If you get more attention from others, then you and your offspring are more likely to survive and pass on your genes to future generations.
If others DON'T like you and give you attention, you are going to have a hard time finding a mate…
… and reproducing.
It just so happens that an attractive woman has a great indicator of whether or not "the group" likes and approves of her…
It's the amount of ATTENTION she gets.
If a woman is getting a lot of attention, it keeps her feeling "OK". She knows she's accepted by the group, that she's going to stay healthy and have a good chance of mating with a "top male".
But it's also why, when YOU try to attract beautiful women, it's important you don't communicate to her that you are "overwhelmed by her beauty," or chasing her, or too weak to express yourself well.
When you actively control the amount of attention you give her, you STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD.
Don't show her "approval" too quickly (maybe even show her some DISAPPROVAL)… and you've created a POWERFUL interest inside of her.
Because every guy that comes within ten feet of a hot woman can't stop looking at her. He makes it clear he would be willing to do anything for her.
So imagine what happens when she meets a guy that isn't like all these other guys AT ALL.
He acts like he's not impressed with her beauty. He even busts her balls a little. She can't tell if he likes her or not… and her systems are scrambled. She feels CHALLENGED.
Then, for some reason she can't explain, she starts to feel a GUT LEVEL ATTRACTION to him.
In other words, it's like she's under a magic spell: she switches from being pursued… to the one DOING THE PURSUING!
But, of course, the question is... HOW can YOU create this "magical" situation and get beautiful women to pursue YOU?
I've given you some great ideas here to get you started. But if you'd like to learn how to take total control of the concept of "attention and approval" to attract beautiful women, you need to download my eBook "Double Your Dating" immediately.

Over the past several weeks, something has changed in Boston. Actually, a lot of things. Sailboats have appeared on the Charles River. Parking spots have started to open up. Teenagers have started buying tickets to matinee movies just for the air conditioning. Music is pouring out of open car windows. Like a molting harbor seal, the city is undergoing an annual ritual as invigorating as it is familiar.
Summer is special in every American city, as public swimming pools open for business, people switch to iced coffee, and festivals fill parking lots with the smell of delicious grilled meats. But in Boston, which is home to an astonishing 152,000 people who are enrolled in institutions of higher learning, summer is something else, too: an occasion for a metamorphosis that transforms how the city works and how it feels to live in it.

The U.S., with 4.5 percent of the world's population and 25 percent of the world's prisoners, is the world's first prison state. Too long have we tolerated this backsliding from the great advances of the '60s. When we are presented with a clear case of retaliation, we must protest.

Do you know where the (database) error is? Add it to the list!
We want to build the most extensive and comprehensive list of database error messages in existence! Our project may be ambitious but we think that we can achieve it with your help.
We're not asking for much of your time - if you come across an error while you work (or there is a sticky one that you've come across in the past) just post it in this thread.
In order to be able to classify all submissions, we need as many details as possible, with special attention to:
- Database Engine (MySQL, SQLite, etc)
- Error Code
- Error Message
- Error Description
- Error solution
If you don't know the solution, that's cool - post the error anyway and we will do everything in our hands to find an answer. But if you do happen to know the solution, it would be great if you tell us.
An example:
"Database Engine: Oracle 11g
Error Code: SQLState : s1000[oracle][ODBC][ora] Ora 28000
Error Message: The account is locked
Error Description:
The true database error is ORA-28000. The rest of the message is given as the connection to the database was done via a ODBC driver.
This error message is typically given when a user has tried to log in too many times but did not provided the correct password. The number of tries is specified by the user's profile parameter FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS.
It may also be the case that the Database Administrator has closed the account, probably for security reasons. As an example, when the database has been migrated and the old database is not to be used anymore.
Another possibility is that the password was reseted but an application connecting to the database was not updated with the new password and therefore it locks the account over and over.
Error Solution:
If it is a case of too many attempted logins, waiting may solve it. The variable PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME will indicate how long this waiting will take.
If the database has been migrated to a new server, make sure that your TNSNAMES.ORA does point to the correct server. If you think that you have an additional problem (such as a DSN name solving issue), try to use the server IP address instead of the name of the server.
If other applications are using the database, make sure the these applications are using the right password and can connect to the database with no issues."
May the errors be with us!

To begin with, how I got that summer's job at the Penn Central is a bit of a safety story in and of itself. It began when I walked into the hiring office of the Penn Central at Penn Plaza in Manhattan. Interestingly, I got a great paying job immediately. I knew no one. I just walked in and was hired immediately.
Some days later (I started almost immediately), I was in a training course in Jersey City, N.J., where we were schooled in the basics of train operation.
During one session as we were learning the proper way to get on and off moving cars and locomotives, I learned from a veteran conductor that he had a son who was working in a warehouse for less than half of what I was making at the railroad. I asked the dad if this was because the railroad had an anti-nepotism rule. Not knowing what the blazes I was referring to, he responded: "No, we hire people from all religions here."
When I explained what I meant, he told me: "I could have gotten my son a summer job here easily. I don't want him here because you can get killed here!" (Which, as you can imagine, made me feel just wonderful!)
To be truthful, this wasn't so much an indictment of railroad jobs as jobs at the Penn Central. By that time the railroad was pretty much out of money and its infrastructure, particularly its yards, had seen better days. We even had something we called "standing derailments" where a car would derail sitting in place with no horizontal movement simply because the ties or hardware holding the rails in place gave way and allowed the rails to spread, dropping the car on the ground! The Penn Central was where I learned the mantra that there are no "small" injuries on a railroad.
But on to my tank car "event." One late summer evening, just prior to my wrapping up my job at the Penn Central, I was aligning switches in a classification yard in Kearny, N.J. The drill was pretty simple: The switch engine with a train that had just come into the yard would pull the train up an incline at one end of the yard. The conductor (lead brakeman) would then cut groups of cars off the train and allow them to roll down the incline into the web of tracks below. The other two brakeman (I was one of them) would throw switches so that the cuts of cars rolling toward us down the tracks would end up in the correct track.
Each brakeman had a written list that showed not only which cars went where, but whether they were loaded or not. If the cars were loaded, they could be cut from the end of the train and rolled down gently... and safely... via gravity at a speed that approximated a brisk walk by an individual. If they were unloaded, however, they needed a shove from the locomotive to get them going fast enough to get all the way down into their designated track.
That evening, it was just past dusk, and I remember that I needed my signal lamp to read my car list. At one point, I looked at my list that told me that a cut of five empty tank cars was next for one of my tracks. I could hear the engine pitch change as it shoved the train forward so that the tank car cut could be pushed downhill. When I looked up, however, the cars came barreling down at me at much too great a speed! They were apparently full! As they flew past me I started running in the near-darkness so that I could get up to one of the ladders on the side of a car to climb it and put on a handbrake to slow the cars.
I was able to get my hands on the ladder of the last car in the cut and as I pulled myself up off the ground, my foot MISSED the bottom rung of the ladder! I can still remember the moon shining on the silver edge of the wheel inches away as I looked to my right! If I had dropped down I would have been cut in half! Fortunately, I was able to climb up and put the hand brake on, which slowed the cut of loaded tank cars to a safe speed.
(By the way, all of this is now largely [and safely] mechanized in classification yards today.)
What is the moral of this story?
Tank cars are always big and heavy and dangerous, especially when you do one or more stupid things around them. (And virtually all of my actions fell into the stupid category. I was just plain lucky that night.) The moral of this story? Don't do stupid things around tank cars.

"This is a very cute retro-looking card. Quality of paper and printing was excellent without upgrades. We used a photo that had been "antiqued" in iPhoto and it looked great. we also got the rounded corners which looked great with the design. the only thing I didn't like was the "faux-mildew" on the back side of the card- an attempt to make it look like a postcard saved for decades, but kind of made the back look dirty. Overall, highly recommended for your out-of-state relatives!"
"Everyone loved this Christmas card! We used a close up shot of our children which fit within the frame perfectly. The kids really look beautiful within this magical card."
"Simplistic, Country Charm. Final product was exactly as designed with good selection of text and photo filters and tools."
"Beautiful design, great print and paper quality, fast shipping...I couldn't be happier with our Christmas cards! Thank you, tinyprints...y'all ROCK! I will definitely be back next year."
"Everyone loved the card and said they were gorgeous! I have a few extra to use as craft projects for his scrapbooks and I love them!! Great product and will be ordering again in the future!"

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -- The Oakland Raiders have signed cornerback Shawntae Spencer to a one-year deal in their latest move to bolster their depleted secondary.
Spencer's agent, Peter Schaffer, says Spencer thought the Raiders were the best fit for him and he is excited to make the move across the bay after playing his first eight NFL seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.
Spencer started 72 games his first seven years, including all 32 in 2009-10. But he lost his job in training camp last year and spent most of his final season with the 49ers as a reserve.
His role with the Raiders is not immediately clear. Oakland cut its two starting cornerbacks from last season in Stanford Routt and Chris Johnson and signed free agent Ron Bartell last week.

Caesarean mum says she is suffering 'like an animal'
An Italian woman whose daughter will be adopted in the UK after a court ordered caesarian saw her give birth in this country has spoken about how she is "suffering like an animal."
Forced caesarean mother is 'suffering like an animal'
An Italian woman whose daughter will be adopted in the UK after a court ordered caesarian saw her give birth in this country has spoken about how she is, "suffering like an animal."
The woman told Italian newspaper La Repubblica:
I want my daughter back, I'm suffering like an animal. They forced me to have a caesarean without telling me anything. The day of the birth, I thought they were just moving me from one room to another, while I was saying I wanted to go back to Italy. I was sedated. When I woke up she wasn't there any more. They'd taken her from me.
It was a caesarean birth which was forced upon me, I wasn't even told.
I did not give my consent, verbal or written, to the adoption of my child. The natural father, who is from Senegal, and one of my American relatives were prepared to take the little one into their care. But the English social services ignored them. Why? Why did nobody help me?
Lawyer: Adoption judgement is 'inexplicable'
The Italian lawyer of a woman whose baby was delivered by a court ordered caesarean section has said that the English rulings over the child's future are "contradictory" and "inexplicable."
Read more: Mentally-ill mother has baby was delivered by caesarean section by court order
Speaking about a judgment which agreed to have the baby girl adopted in the UK Stefano Oliva told ITV News: "I've been able to read the judge's decision and it's completely contradictory in its motivations.
It says the mother was well in her health, that she strongly desired to live with her baby, that she really wanted to go back to Italy… it's positive about her family, the relationship between mother and daughter - but inexplicably it concludes with the adoption order."
Judge hopes forced caesarean mum meets new parents
A judgement that ruled a child delivered by caesarean following a court order should remain in care, has been made public.
Judge Newton, sitting at Chelmsford County Court, said in the ruling he hoped the mother - who was mentally-ill at the time of her daughter's birth - would meet with the people who are to adopt her child.
– Judge Newton
I very much hope that the mother on whom I concentrate will be able to have an opportunity of meeting the adopters. It is important for P to know that her birth family, as I know they do, will continue to take a continuing interest in her. It will not be straightforward. It will not be easy. The mother, I know, is to return to Italy shortly but if it is possible and a meeting is offered I very much hope that the mother would be able to play her part in that.
Father of forced caesarean child is 'over-stayer' in Italy
Court papers have revealed a baby removed from her mentally-ill mother after a court-ordered caesarean cannot be cared for by her father as he is an 'over-stayer' in Italy.
The ruling made by Judge Newton, sitting at Chelmsford County Court, explained the father of the child, known as P, was a Senegalese national who went to Italy on a student visa but over-stayed.
– Judge Newton
He certainly has no status in Italy and he is unable, as I understand it, as a result of his status, either to leave Italy at all, and is certainly not able to come to the United Kingdom.
Judge: Child of forced caesarean mum should know she loved her
A judgement that ruled a child delivered by caesarean following a court order should remain in care, has been made public.
Judge Newton, sitting at Chelmsford County Court, concluded that the child, known as P, would be placed with an adoptive family.
The child was removed from her mother - who is an Italian national and was suffering metal health issues at the time of the birth - by Essex County Council 15 months ago because she was "too unwell to care for her child".
Judge Newton said: "If in later life P reads this judgment, as she may well do, I hope that she will appreciate that her mother in particular loved her and wished for her to return to live with her and to bring her up.
"It is not her fault, nor P's that that was not possible and that a predictable home could only be secured by way of adoption. P should know that the mother very much wished to parent her and bring her up and I hope that that is some small comfort both to the mother and also to P."
'Forced caesarean' mother 'sends message of thanks'
Liberal Democrat MP John Hemming has taken up the case of a mentally-ill mother whose unborn child was delivered by caesarean section by order of a court.
The girl, who is now 15 months old, is being put up for adoption despite opposition from the mother, who is an Italian national.
Mr Hemming told ITV News he had spoken to her and "she would like to send a message of thanks to all the British people who have offered their messages of support".

'Risks to mother and child' led to 'forced caesarean'
Concerns about the possible "risks to mother and child" led a health trust to apply for permission to deliver an unborn child by caesarean section, Essex County Council social services said today.
Read: Women's baby 'taken from womb by social services'
Lawyers for the health trust obtained a High Court order that allowed the woman to be forcibly sedated and her child to be taken from her womb, according to the Sunday Telegraph.
The county council said the mother was able to see her daughter on the day of birth and the following day. Social services obtained an interim care order from the county court in August 2012 "because the mother was too unwell to care for her child". In a statement, Essex council said:
The long-term safety and wellbeing of children is always Essex County Council's priority.
Adoption is never considered until we have exhausted all other options and is never pursued lightly.
Historically, the mother has two other children which she is unable to care for due to orders made by the Italian authorities.
In accordance with Essex County Council's Social Services practice social workers liaised extensively with the extended family before and after the birth of the baby, to establish if anyone could care for the child.
Separation of mother and baby 'stuff of nightmares'
The director of human rights organisation Liberty has strongly condemned those responsible for forcibly removing a baby from its mother's womb, describing the incident as "the stuff of nightmares".
– Shami Chakrabarti, Director of Liberty
Please God there's more to this, but at first blush this is dystopian science-fiction unworthy of a democracy like ours. Forced surgery and separation of mother and infant is the stuff of nightmares that those responsible will struggle to defend in courts of law and decency.
MP to raise 'forcible removal' baby case in Commons
An MP is to raise in Parliament the case of a pregnant Italian woman whose baby was reportedly forcibly removed by caesarean section in Britain by order of social workers.
A High Court order was obtained against the woman that allowed her to be forcibly sedated and her child to be taken from her womb, the Sunday Telegraph reports.
The council said it was acting in the best interests of the woman, who was in Britain for work reasons, because she had suffered a mental breakdown, the newspaper reported.
Liberal Democrat MP John Hemming said today: "I intend to raise this in Parliament. I need to speak to the lady tomorrow evening to find out how she wishes to proceed.
A spokesman for the council involved said "it does not comment on the circumstances of ongoing individual cases involving vulnerable people and children."

Motorcyclist dies in Mountain View crash

This is so tragic but I drive 85/101 every day and encounter these motorcycles that weave in and out of lanes and pass cars on the dotted lines. I know about this so I triple check all my rearview mirrors before I change lanes. These bikes are fast and can accelerate into your blind spot in a flash. I suspect this terrible accident was caused by this dangerous riding behavior.
on Nov 27, 2012 at 1:08 pm
Anon, I get your point, but why do you start with the assumption that it is the motorcyclist's fault??!! We know NOTHING about what caused the accident! Motorcycles are much more vulnerable to damage (bike and rider, of course!) than cars, and yet cars move aggressively all around motorcyclists. Please don't blame someone before the facts are in!
on Nov 27, 2012 at 3:36 pm
According to the DMV, over two-thirds of motorcycle-car accidents are the fault of the car driver.
However, motorcycles are smaller and less visible, and have to maneuver around potholes and other small road obstructions that a car can easily, safely drive over. They can also accelerate and stop faster than a car.
Still, it is really foolish of any motorcycle rider to dart in and out of traffic, or ride between two cars. I see these things all the time and it is a major accident waiting to happen.

Superbly written, Hall would be proud.
Superbly written, Hall would be proud.
Fantastic. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing!
Great piece. I have been reading lots of tributes – this one and Gary Younge's have struck the loudest chords with me. I did not know him well on a personal level but he had a profound effect on me (and continues to do so) through his intellectual rigour, commitment to change, profound kindness and the creative agility of a joyfully curious mind. Thank you.
Brilliantly put. A quiet man whose words were made loud in the face of prejudice by the intelligence and poise with which they were spoken. Long may they echo.
Exactly what Marlene said above, you and Gary Younge's pieces the loveliest and truest ive read. Thanks for sharing this……with a smile and a generosity of spirit. Bless.
I think we must not lose sight that without being anti-intellectual, Hall was someone committed to encouraging people to understand the world in order to change it through activism not words.

Brierley Hill man jailed after cannabis factory found behind pub
11:00am Wednesday 19th February 2014 in Local
A BRIERLEY Hill man has been given a two-and-a-half year jail sentence for his involvement in producing cannabis in a garage at the back of a Worcestershire pub.
Police found the double garage at the back of The Steps House in Gilgal, Stourport on Severn, had been converted into a factory growing cannabis with a potential street value of £91,000, Worcester Crown Court heard.
Mark Flack, aged 32, of Dwellings View, Brierley Hill, was jailed immediately after pleading guilty to being involved in the production of the class B drug.
Kevin Fletcher, aged 54, the landlord of The Steps House, who lives on the premises, also received a 12-month sentence suspended for 18 months after he admitted being involved in the production of cannabis.
Stephen Davies said police raided the garage on April 26 last year and found two tents inside with 145 plants capable of producing 9.1 kilograms with a sophisticated growing system.
Fletcher told them he had rented the garage for a £100 a month in December 2012 to two men who had said they were going to use it for car repairs.
He later revealed he had discovered cannabis two weeks before the raid and had told them to leave but had accepted £1,000 to let them stay a little longer, Mr Davies said.
Flack was present when the factory was set up but had been working under instructions from the other man, who was not in court.
He was paid in cannabis for his own use and police found 4.6 grams worth £446 at his home.
Niall Skinner, defending Flack, said he was a hard-working family man whose partner was expecting their third child next month.
He had no explanation as to why he had got involved apart from "stupidity."
Mr Skinner said: "He did not need to get involved.
"He has never been in trouble before and it is likely he will never be in trouble again."
Abigail Nixon, defending Fletcher, said he had been in the pub trade for 20 years and had bought the lease to The Steps House.
He had put his livelihood and his home at risk because he had been stupid enough to get involved to "make a quick buck" but he had never received the £1,000.
A conviction would not automatically result in him losing his licence but it was due for renewal next year, she said.
Judge Robert Juckes, QC, said Flack had played a more significant role in the production.
He said Fletcher, as a landlord in a position of responsibility and with a degree of influence in the community, had taken the £1,000 offer to "keep his mouth shut."
Fletcher was also ordered to do 250 hours unpaid work - and both men were ordered to pay £600 costs each.

Individuals interested in any adult group or who want more details the children's groups may contact Dr. Sherry Schachter at (718) 518-2125 or (646) 739-6480. Individual counseling is available on a limited basis.
All Calvary bereavement groups are open to the public and are free of charge.
In the New York metropolitan area, Calvary has established itself as a resource for grieving families. Calvary's year-round bereavement programs for school-age children, "Precious Moments," and groups for teens, have helped hundreds of children to date. Camp Compass, Calvary's innovative summer camp for children ages 6 through 17, will host its 14th annual session this year. The Hospital's bereavement support groups are available to anyone who has lost a loved one, whether that person was a patient at Calvary, or someone from the larger community whose death is attributable to illness, accident, or other causes.

Tears of Gaza Film Screening and Discussion
Saturday, September 6th, 7pm
Arab Cultural and Community Center
2 Plaza St. San Francisco
Disturbing, powerful and emotionally devastating, Tears of Gaza is less a conventional documentary than a record–presented with minimal gloss – of the 2008 to 2009 bombing of Gaza by the Israeli military. Photographed by several Palestinian cameramen both during and after the offensive, this powerful film by director Vibeke Løkkeberg focuses on the impact of the attacks on the civilian population
Tears of Gaza makes no overriding speeches or analyses. The situation leading up to the incursion is never mentioned. Similar events certainly occurred in Dresden, Tokyo, Baghdad and Sarajevo, but of course Gaza isn't those places. Tears of Gaza demands that we examine the costs of war on a civilian populace.
Watch the trailer here: http://muvi.es/w6400
This event is free and open to the public. Donations welcome.

Illinois now has strict guidelines for high school football players, aimed at protecting kids from dangerous summer heat.
The Illinois High School Association is limiting the number of hours players can be on the field for football practice this season, to help prevent possible heat stroke.
The rules lay out a 14-day regiment, in which players gradually increase the gear they wear and the amount of time they practice. The objective is to allow their bodies to acclimate to the temperature before putting too much stress on them.
Nine other states have also adopted similar acclimatization standards.

PHELAN - San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies Monday arrested a 20-year-old man in conjunction with the theft of a bag of money from a local Girl Scout troop selling cookies.
Colin Sawyer from Phelan was arrested Monday night when deputies identified the suspect at a gas station from surveillance photos taken at the location of the theft.
On Sunday, a Girl Scout troop was outside the Stater Bros. store on Phelan Road near Sheep Creek Road selling cookies about 7 p.m. when the theft took place.
The man grabbed the troop's money bag, and one teen girl gave chase, officials said. The girl lost her footing and fell, requiring some medical attention.
She sustained only minor scratches. Paramedics treated her at the scene and released her to her older sister and troop leader, officials said.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with additional information is urged to contact Detective Jeff Toll at 760-868-1006.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Likely New Jersey voters surveyed are divided over whether Gov. Chris Christie would make a good president.
A Quinnipiac University poll of likely voters released Tuesday shows 48 to 41 percent say they would like to see the Republican run for president in 2016.
However, they are divided 42 to 43 percent on whether Christie would make a good president. Most Republicans surveyed say yes, most Democrats say no, and 43 percent of independent voters say Christie would compared to 39 percent who say he wouldn't.
The telephone survey of 1,203 likely New Jersey voters has a sampling error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton Jackson will step inside the Octagon tonight (Jan. 26, 2013) at the United Center in Chicago, Ill., for the twelfth and final time.
His opponent in the UFC on Fox 6 main event, Glover Teixeira, is not the kind of big "name" fighter who -- at least on paper -- can send off "Rampage" with gusto like perhaps a rematch with Mauricio Rua (more on that here) or even Forrest Griffin might have been able to do in the "Windy City."
It's a dangerous mixed martial arts (MMA) match up the promotion wanted and Jackson accepted when many others in the 205-pound division expressed reluctance. One that doesn't have Jackson jumping out of his skin (he'd rather play video games) to promote.
"It's just another day at the office for me," Jackson told Inside MMA's Ron Kruck. "It's not the first organization that I left. I used to fight in Pride, which was one of the biggest shows in the world back when I left it. They weren't treating me the way I wanted to be treated so I left. I stand up for myself. I'm a fighter, I fight everything."
Jackson did indeed leave Japan, landing with the "upstart" World Fighting Alliance (WFA) in 2006. He competed once under the WFA flag, battling the always-tough and foul-smelling Matt Lindland to earn a controversial unanimous decision. It would be his first and only fight with the promotion because soon after White and Co. swooped in and purchased the WFA for the sole purpose of landing Jackson and roster mate, Lyoto Machida.
Eight months later, Jackson would make his celebrated Octagon debut, exacting brutal revenge on the first man to hand him a professional MMA loss, Marvin Eastman, at UFC 67 with an impressive second round knockout. It was the start of a memorable (and not so memorable), roller-coaster ride that comes to an unfortunate end.
"I'm going to have both [fond and bitter memories]," Jackson said. "Not every fighter can be like Anderson Silva and win every match. It's my job to entertain people and put on a good fight and that's what I do -- I put my life on the line for the fans. When I leave, in a couple of years, I'll probably forget that I fought in the UFC. That's how I am -- I don't really watch the fights. When I leave the UFC I'm just going to move onto the next chapter in my life and try to remain positive and happy...."
It's unclear where Jackson might land. He has expressed a desire to try his hand at professional boxing, but the MMA options are limited to Bellator and a one-off fight against "King" Muhammed Lawal and perhaps a few other mismatches under the World Series of Fighting (WSOF) flag.
Of course, there is always the MMA-professional wrestling experiment that Lawal, along with the cooperation of Bellator and TNA wrestling, have recently launched. Regardless of he next destination, Jackson wants to make it clear that he had no other choice but to to seek greener pastures.
"I apologize to the fans who are sad to see me leave the UFC, but it's not my fault," he said. "I think if they were in my same shoes, a lot of them would do the same thing, but they don't understand because all they do is see us get in that cage and fight. It's going to be the UFC's loss and not my loss because I can go to any organization on the planet and have a successful career."
That's the glass half-full mentality, which Jackson will likely need to rely on as he tests the free agent waters. Most pundits don't share his confidence and chances for similar UFC success upon his departure. He is a 34-year-old fighter with a ton of miles on his 6'1" frame who could possibly be riding a three-fight losing skid after Teixeira gets done with him this evening.
Win or lose, though, Jackson doesn't appear to care how it looks, as long as he can just free himself of the UFC tether.
"[I'm not going to feel anything when I leave the Octagon for the final time]," he said. "Just gimme' my paycheck ... I'm gone."

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!
(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
Beach hairstyles should be simple, quick, and most of all, easy to recreate after you swim. Experiment with these ideas, based on your hair's length:
If your hair is short: Sweep dry hair back with a plastic (Read: water-, sun-, and sand-resistant) headband; remove before hitting the surf, then simply slip back into damp hair when done. Be sure to apply sunscreen along your hairline to avoid a very painful burn!
If your hair is medium-length: Try a half-up, half-down style. Make a part across the top of your head, from ear to ear. Gather the hair in front of the part, and pull back to the crown of your head. Secure with a plastic mini-clamp or easy-to-close barrette. Allow the hair behind the part to stay loose.
If your hair is long: Gather hair into a low ponytail. Secure the base with a covered elastic. Loosely braid the tail all the way to its end, but don't secure the end. Now coil the braid around the base of the pony. Clip into place with a metal jaw clip. When you feel like a swim, remove the clip and jump in. Then you can just coil the wet braid again and clip into place. --Lisa Kovalovich

When I was a kid, I used to hang out at my dad's parking lot on Walnut Street, south of Illinois Printing Company. Downtown Danville was hopping back then, believe you me.
But when things slowed down, we'd often loaf in the barber shop across North Street from The Commercial-News. Its back door was never locked.
There, I would listen to my father, the barbers and the customers shoot the bull. I would read magazines and newspapers. I downed a few bottles of Squirt and Choc-Ola, too.
I was fascinated by the glistening brass National cash register, with the crank on the side. I remember the old barber chairs, with their worn leather seats and nickel-plated hardware; the multi-colored mound of hair in the corner, the shoeshine boy, the mirrors … and especially the shaves.
Those were real shaves — no safety razors, and certainly no cans of pressurized shaving cream.
The barber soaked a white towel in steaming water and wrapped the customer's face to soften up the whiskers. Then he unfolded his gleaming straight razor and passed it back and forth across a leather strop a few times to hone it.
Then he whipped up some warm, creamy lather using more hot water, a shaving mug with soap in it, and a little brush. The towel came off and the beard was slathered in soap.
Then the artiste went to work. The barber knew how to stretch the customer's jowls and lift his nose to scrape off every last nubbin of a whisker. Dad said they had to shave balloons in barber school and if the balloon popped, you flunked.
Finally, after the remaining bits of lather were wiped away with the wet towel, the customer arose — a new man, with skin as smooth as that of a baby.
At age 59, I have yet to buy a can of shaving cream. I stick to a mug, mug soap, scalding water and a shaving brush.
It's soothing to brush the warm lather across my ugly mug each morning, and to use my state-of-the-art razor to banish every last whisker.
(A painful little story: Years ago, I liked a certain dark-haired girl. One day, we were talking and I mentioned that I had once grown a beard. She asked, "Did it help?" Ouch!)
Back to shaving. In any drug store you'll find a dozen kinds of canned shaving cream and shaving gels. The cheap stuff is around $2 a can, and the expensive stuff is $4 or more.
Meanwhile, you're lucky if you can find any mug soap at all. It isn't like regular soap; it doesn't dry the skin and the lather lasts longer. I use the Williams brand, which has been on the market since 1840. The little round cakes resemble hockey pucks. Each one costs $1 or less, and it lasts me more than a month.
When it comes to shaving, I stick with tradition. Dad did, too. I have his mug.

By Jerry Sullivan » Monday, January 10, 2000
By Sunday afternoon, Thurman Thomas already had put it behind him. When you've been an NFL player for a dozen seasons, when you've won and lost big ga…"I think they can, though," he said. "I really do. I think that loss yesterday put it straight to the younger players that, hey, we've got a good team and all we should care about is winning. That's what we always cared about when we had Steve Tasker, Jim Kelly and all the rest of those guys."
Thomas said times have changed dramatically in 10 years. Free agency has raised the stakes and given players more freedom. It's harder to keep talented rosters together. No team comes back intact from one year to the next. It's difficult to maintain a personality.
He doesn't know what will happen to this team, or to him. He said he wants to come back, though he doesn't want to take a pay cut. He also said he'll retire if both Andre Reed and Bruce Smith leave.
Still, he believes his young teammates will come back even more determined after the Titans game, made hungrier and wiser by the loss.
"I think that loss yesterday could very well be the difference between a guy taking $2 million more from another team or staying here," Thomas said. "Back in the day, I think all the guys on this team would have taken less money to stay here, because we knew what we were about. We knew what we had to do to win."
Wade Phillips feels his team is getting to that point. He was effusive in praise of his young players. They made their mistakes. But watching players like Robert Hicks, Peerless Price, Sam Cowart, Antoine Winfield, Pat Williams and Rob Johnson battle from behind convinced him better days are ahead.
He brought up the '89 playoff game, too. He said it flashed through his mind after the loss.
"I thought of that, I sure did," Phillips said. "I remember thinking 'These guys have a good football team.' They fought their hearts out and then they had that drop . . . then the next year they went to the Super Bowl.
"I think we showed we have a lot of good young players," he said. "A lot of them showed up in this game, and we've got the best defense in football. . . . The team fighting back was really encouraging, because it looked like everything was going against us and we made plays."
The disputed touchdown couldn't take away the fact that Johnson came of age on the Bills' final drive. If there was any doubt that it would be his offense next year, his team, it was erased when he calmly moved them down the field, making key throws to a poised rookie, Price.
"He showed what he could do," Phillips said. "He showed his potential. You had to be on the sidelines with him, talking to him. He was still fine. Some things happened to him early that really could have rattled a quarterback, and he fought through all that."
There are times when you wish Phillips was a little more emotional. But his temperament seems suited for a loss like this. He even admitted it would have been difficult for the Bills to win on the road next weekend with a roster devastated by injuries.
He could have stood there and ripped Phil Luckett's officiating crew. He could have fished for sympathy. Instead, he said how proud he was of his players' effort, and how encouraged he was about the future.
When you've spent your life in sports, you learn not to dwell on the setbacks, no matter how discouraging. I think Thomas and Phillips are telling Buffalo fans they might as well let it go, too.

Buffalo Bills defensive end Bruce Smith was in no mood to talk about his 2 1/2 sacks Saturday that made him the NFL's all-time leader in playoff games…"I won't be next to all these guys next year," Wiley continued. "We're a different team next year. Who wants to wait? Who wants to go to camp again and do all that stuff when the result could be this? Talk about the rug slipping from under your feet. The whole foundation has been shaken. It's not hard, it's ridiculous.
"They had the 12th man with their crowd and they were pumping them up like it is the loudest crowd in the world. They made us make bad plays on offense and defense, but it's not Buffalo and then more than that, they had a 13th man. You name them. They've got jerseys on, too, U60 and line judge 42. I think those numbers came into play today. I know I'm going to get fined, and I ain't the richest guy on the team. I don't care. They're going to take it before I see it anyway."
Other players also sounded off about the officiating, fines be damned.
"People who watched this game can clearly understand that we didn't get a fair shake," Rogers said. "All we asked for all year was to call a fair game. In a game of this magnitude, with people's jobs on the line, you can not make calls like that. Guys fought their tails off and to come up short like this, it's heartbreaking."
Bills owner Ralph Wilson was irate over the officiating, but there is nothing he can do.
"I think (instant replay) has been working pretty good this year," he said. "The only thing I don't quite understand is in the last two minutes, why it goes to the people up in the booth. But I voted for it, and I think it's been working pretty good."
Wilson said he won't complain to the NFL office. "What good does it do?" he said.
Quarterback Doug Flutie did his best to adjust to being a backup Saturday, but it wasn't easy.
"It's just frustrating to have no say in it — to stand on the sidelines and have no say in the outcome," he said. "It's been one of the hardest years of my life."
Flutie added that Rob Johnson didn't appear to be nervous in his first playoff start.
"I think they were flying and coming around the corner on him," he said. "If you're standing there flat-footed, you're going to get drilled. You slide a little more. He got more and more comfortable as the game went on."
As for his future with the Bills, Flutie said, "I have no idea. I don't know what they're thinking."
Bills inactives were defensive tackle Sean Moran, offensive guards Joe Panos and Victor Allotey, wide receivers Kamil Loud and Jeremy McDaniel and linebackers Jay Foreman and Keith Newman.
