Laws changed with evolving child sex abuse awareness
By Jerry Filteau
Catholic News Service
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- The awareness of and research on sexual abuse of children as a problem in the United States is intimately tied up with the evolution of laws in that area in the last half-century.
On Feb. 27 the National Review Board on sexual abuse formed by the U.S. Catholic bishops is releasing a study that goes back more than 50 years to examine the incidence of sexual abuse of minors by priests and deacons.
While the study goes back to 1950, U.S. public awareness of sexual abuse of children as a significant social problem did not emerge until the 1970s or '80s -- and then only as a result of attention to physical maltreatment of minors by family members that emerged in the 1960s.
"It was not until the 1960s ... that child maltreatment issues prompted nationwide interest in protecting the physical and mental well-being of children," says a 2002 paper, "Current Trends in Child Maltreatment and Reporting Laws," by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect Information.
The paper says, "In 1963, the first model statute mandating the reporting of child abuse was drafted. ... By 1967, every state had enacted reporting laws that included physicians as mandated reporters.
"In general," it adds, "these statutes were limited to nonaccidental physical injury. Other forms of maltreatment, such as neglect and sexual and emotional abuse, were added later. Reporting laws were also expanded in the late 1960s and early 1970s to include social workers, teachers and a range of health service professionals as mandated reporters."
In 1974 the federal government took a more direct role in U.S. child maltreatment policy with the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act, allocating federal funds to states to help them implement programs to identify, treat and prevent child abuse.
Since the passage of that federal act, reporting of possible child abuse or neglect has risen dramatically, from 60,000 reports nationwide in 1974 to nearly 2.8 million in 2000, according to the 2002 paper.
Of 879,000 minors identified as victims of substantiated abuse or neglect in 2000, it says, 10.1 percent were sexually abused.
Several experts on sexual abuse and its prevention told Catholic News Service that legal, societal and professional attention to the sexual abuse of children in the United States and Canada really emerged in the late 1970s and the 1980s as a follow-up to the growing attention to physical abuse of children.
Mark Chopko, general counsel of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said there were three main phases in the evolution of U.S. child abuse reporting laws since 1960, each resulting in dramatic increases in reporting.
The first was the initiation of basic reporting laws in all states in the 1960s. The federal law in 1974 brought a substantial boost to the development of child protective services in the states.
In the years that followed, the third phase was marked by substantial refinement and expansion of child protection services and mandated reporting legislation in the states, including the specific inclusion of sexual abuse of minors among the offenses that must be reported. Where many states initially listed physicians as the only mandated reporters, many have added educators, social workers, nurses and a variety of others to that list. In some states any person who knows or reasonably suspects that a child is being abused or neglected is required to report it.
Kathleen McChesney, who had a 30-year FBI career before she became director of the U.S. bishops' national Office of Child and Youth Protection, said key developments in law enforcement over the past 30 years include:
-- "More people willing to come forward and report."
-- A lessening of the stigma of being an abuse victim, although "there still remains a stigma."
-- "New technology to support cases that wasn't available many years ago," using things such as DNA testing to get beyond the conflicting stories of the victim and the accused.
-- "Law enforcement officers around the country have been trained in dealing with victims" and their families sensitively, making it easier for other victims to come forward.
McChesney said greater communication and transparency in the criminal justice system also support more prosecution of such crimes.
The cumulative result of all those changes has been "a more efficient, effective criminal justice system" for dealing with sex crimes against minors, she said.
A number of states have extended the statute of limitations for prosecuting such offenses in recent years, in part out of growing awareness of how many years it takes before some childhood victims are able to say what happened to them. Many states also have toughened penalties for such crimes.
Psychologist William L. Marshall, a Canadian expert on sexual assault and treatment of offenders, said his country's criminal justice approach has been different from the United States in several key respects.
Since the 1970s U.S. and Canadian psychologists have rewritten the books on how to diagnose and treat offenders, he said. Many older theories were simply disproved through empirical studies, and effective treatment now takes a comprehensive, dynamic approach to behavioral and cognitive modification.
He said Canada's criminal laws on sexual offenses were recodified nationally in 1983 and since then Canada has made a systematic effort to focus resources on treatment during and after prison, with significant results in reducing recidivism.
By contrast, state legislation in the United States is "all over the spectrum" and is usually geared more toward punishment than treatment, he said.

Kudos to CBCF! Time for Black institutions to put their money where their mouth is
By James Clingman
Trice Edney Newswire
In a recent article, I posed the question, "Hey, Chocolate City, where da money at?" Well, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc. (CBCF) gave a resounding answer to that inquiry on Sept. 17, 2013. Starting a new campaign to strengthen the economy in Black communities, the organization, under the leadership of Board Chairman, Congressman Chaka Fatah, (D-Pa.), announced it would invest $5 million with Black-owned banks, "as part of a broader effort to increase the availability of loans for businesses and individuals in African American communities." I applaud the CBCF for this initiative; it is a great example of how we can leverage the dollars over which we have control and stewardship.
Congratulations to the leadership group: A. Shuanise Washington, President and CEO, Congressional Black Caucus Foundation; Michael Grant, president, National Bankers Association; B. Doyle Mitchell, Jr., board chair, National Bankers Association and president, Industrial Bank; Russell Kashian, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Economics, University of Wisconsin Whitewater; and Ron Busby, Sr., CEO, U.S. Black Chambers, Inc. Well done!
In essence, the CBCF said here's our money, and our members are doing the right thing with it.
"I commend the CBCF for its initiative and commitment to launch what could — and should be — a movement across this nation," said National Bankers President, Michael Grant. "They initiated this effort without being prodded, begged or persuaded," Grant continued. "They did it of their own volition and understanding of how this economy works, as well as the very important aspect of building businesses and strengthening the asset base of Black-owned banks. We cannot thank them enough."
Of course, after my kudos, come my questions. As commendable as the actions of the CBCF are, they do bring forth questions in my mind regarding other institutions, organizations and associations. I want to start with the NAACP because Mr. Ben Jealous recently announced his resignation, and while doing so lauded the organization's tremendous increase in fundraising under his leadership. Under Jealous, the donor base grew from 16,422 in 2007, just before he started, to 132,543 last year. Revenue has grown from $25.7 million in 2008 to $46 million in 2012, according to an article in USA Today.
Forty-six million dollars is a lot of money. How much is deposited or invested in Black banks, NAACP? With both Harbor Bank and Industrial Bank in the immediate vicinity of NAACP national headquarters, I am sure most — if not all — of those funds are already nestled away and doing great work in those two fine Black banks. The CBCF had $5 million and they did the right thing with it. Has the NAACP done the same with its $46 million? I trust they have.
Hey, Marc Morial and the National Urban League, you're next. Where is your money? How many millions do you control? Any Black banks listed on your financial statements? I know there must be, in light of the fact that you work hard to establish new businesses and create more jobs. Surely the CBCF has nothing on you, right? This is not a trivial or unimportant question. Here in my hometown, back in 1996-99, a Black-owned credit union was started just across the street from our local Urban League office building. Although asked to do so, the Urban League did not have an account at the credit union. I know this is 2013 and we are much more enlightened and conscious nowadays. But, I'm just saying, you know?
All right Al Sharpton, you're up next. How many millions does the National Action Network (NAN) have in Black-owned banks? With your clarion call for, "Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!" surely NAN has taken the economically positive step of keeping its funds in banks that can help create those much needed jobs. I know your thing is politics, but politics are supported, guided and controlled by economics. So I have no doubt that you have already carved out a niche in a Black-owned bank and allowed your money to good work for our people.
Uh-oh, I am running out of space. So what about the rest of our Black organizations? Rainbow PUSH, Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), Masons, Shriners, Fraternities, Sororities, Social Clubs, Links, Black entertainers, Black rappers, Black athletes, Black business owners? Are you even considering putting some of your millions into Black banks?
Between Jay-Z and P. Diddy, who recently talked about losing a million dollars to another rapper, that's a few hundred million right there. Take LeBron, Kobe, Tiger, Serena and Venus; what an impact they could make on a Black bank balance sheet. Get the picture?
Finally, Black churches, where is your money? Is any of it sitting in a Black-owned bank? Churches that are domiciled in cities where Black banks exist should all have accounts at those banks and or credit unions. Can you hear me talking, Durham, N.C., where the oldest Black bank resides? There is also Internet banking; not denying the importance of a local bank relationship, but some church funds could be invested in an out-of-town bank.
This is too easy, brothers and sisters, and it's all about a Biblical principle: Good stewardship. It's now time for the altar call. Let the Black church say, Amen!

LOS ANGELES, September 15, 2013 — Welcome to The Washington Times Communities NFL chat for the New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Buccaneers game. Please feel free to chime in and have your voice heard. Today you will interact with Communities football analyst, Eric Golub, as well as the Communities sports editor, Kevin J. Wells.
The Buccaneers lost not a New York Jets team that is not very good. They gave the ball to Doug Martin 24 times, but he could only muster 65 yards, but did have a touchdown.
The New Orleans Saints looked great in the preseason and that carried over into their week 1 matchup. The Saints beat the Atlanta Falcons, 23-17. Drew Brees threw for 357 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
Projection: New Orleans is favored by three. Saints win and cover the spread.

The eastern half of the United States and parts of Canada have been assaulted by a severe snow storm which has left 16 people dead.
The snow storm, named as "Hercules", left some areas buried under two feet of snow and was so severe that both the governors of New York and New Jersey had to declare states of emergency. Schools were closed, over 2,500 flights were cancelled and people were advised not to leave their homes unless absolutely necessary.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said: "As this winter storm unfolds, bringing heavy snow and high winds to many parts of the state, I strongly urge all New Yorkers to exercise caution, avoid travel and stay indoors. This is nothing to be trifled with."
New York's three major airports made preparations to accommodate travellers whose flights were cancelled.
"We have a few hundred cots at each of the airports should you decide to become an overnight guest," said Thomas Bosco, an official with the Port Authority of New York and Jersey, at New York's LaGuardia Airport. The authority also runs Newark and John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The thick snow also caused chaos on roads throughout the affected areas, resulting in the deaths of motorists in Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois.
Other deaths occurred when asalt storage worker was killed in Philadelphia by a 100-ft (30-metre) pile of road salt which fell and crushed him, and a woman suffering from Alzheimer's disease in rural New York state froze to death after she wandered away from her home. A man was reported to be fighting for his life after being pulled from Lake Michigan by firefighters.
The storm resulted in record-breaking freezing temperatures, which were reported as being "dangerously low."
Meanwhile, across the Pond in the U.K., torrential rain and storm force winds have been sweeping relentlessly across the country repeatedly since before Christmas, causing deaths, flooding and widespread damage.
Waves of up to 40 feet high have been battering the U.K. coastlines, and many residents have had to be evacuated. Emergency services have been unable to find a teenager in Devon who was believed to have been swept away by freak waves on Thursday: Harry Martin, 18, from Membland, Newton Ferrers, has not been seen since he left home to take photographs of stormy seas. Another man died when his car veered off the road and hit a tree in torrential rain.
Almost 100 flood warnings are currently in place across Britain, and as more severe weather is expected on Sunday, U.K. residents are being warned to brace themselves for more floods on England's coasts and rivers. In London, the Thames barrier has been closed to protect the capital city from the threat of floods.
Northwestern France has also suffered from the storm surges: heavy rains coupled with unusually high tides left the streets of some coastal towns underwater, and the Frence region had high-risk flood alerts in place on Friday. Further south along the Brittany coast in the town of Quimperle, shops and homes were evacuated as the Laita River overflowed its banks.
Those who keep their eyes on Whitley Strieber's "Climate Watch" section here on Unknown Country will know that Whitley Strieber predicted such violent weather across Europe and the eastern U.S.
Australia has had to update Weather Charts to accommodate new highest temperatures, although they conceded that this was out of the ordinary and more extreme for any time on record, they still refused to admit this was a sign of global warming in fact both sides never said that once in the interview
In southern NH its going to reach 50 degrees F today (Mon. Jan. 6), with thunderstorms, and then fall back to 15 degrees tomorrow. This isn't normal!
Here in Central Indiana it's now minus 11 degrees with strong winds and around 14 inches of snow on the ground right now. I went out earlier today and got my car started in the garage and fed the poor birds and squirrels and my hands and face started to freeze. I was only out about 6 minutes but any longer than that could be fatal. The mayor has declared a code red travel designation so no one can travel on any street or highway except police, fire and ambulances. It's pretty alarming.

Based on James Michener's novel, this film told only part of the story; the rest of it was filmed four years later as THE HAWAIIANS. All the secondary acting is excellent, particularly Hackman as a doctor-missionary and Michael Constantine as a tough sailor who sees the light. However, O'Connor
and Cole, playing Andrews' parents, don't have much to do. Jeakins (when she wasn't designing the terrific costumes) plays von Sydow's mother and impresses mightily, letting us understand why von Sydow is the stiff he is. Von Sydow's real-life sons are briefly seen playing two of the four ages of
Micah. Terrific technical work by all but, at more than three hours, this didn't hold the interest that some other spectacular movies did. It cost more than $15 million, and every penny is on the screen. Look for Bette Midler as a passenger on the ship bound for Hawaii. Nominated by the Academy
for Best Supporting Actress (La Garde), Best Cinematography, Best Sound, Best Music Score, Best Song ("My Wishing Doll"), Best Costume Design, and Best Visual Effects. leave a comment

I came back to KL slightly more than half year ago. My thoughts were very simple at that time. I just want to get a job in Java development while waiting or attempting to get my Australia PR which I don't know when I will get it. At that time, I plan to stay here for a year or two to settle my personal matters plus it will be better if I work in a company for a year or two to save some money to continue my dreams.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as expected. At the current moment, I wish to execute my plan to return to Australia sooner than what I planned before this. Sometimes, the feelings are very confusing. This is the place where I was born and I just spent 2 years in Australia but I started to feel unwelcome here and even though nobody telling me directly but it makes me feel that other people are indirectly telling me to return to Australia as the environment there is more suitable for me compared to here.
Since I came back to KL, there were so many things happened unexpectedly or whether I should put it as a good timing. In just less than half year, I attended two funerals of my close relatives and one cousin's wedding. It was really a devastating week when the wedding was held one week after the funeral. According to the Chinese belief, we won't be celebrating any festivals during this one-year mourning period even next year's Chinese New Year.
As for career, I started to apply for a job in February and I only got my first offer in June. I thought of staying in the company for more than one year but unfortunately, it's just lasted for 3 months because I don't want to stay for another 2 months after the probation period. The company is the worst I ever joined in my life or even compared to any bad companies that I heard from others. It's a local company which doesn't have stable financial status, poor management and also a lot of hidden agenda. I felt very struggling when I worked with them and I really don't want to feel worry about my pay every month. So, since February until now, I went for different interviews and took various of technical tests. To be honest, I really feel exhausted with those tests. I don't get it when people always have higher expectations on me or I should say this year is really my bad luck year. Some people can get a job even they didn't do well in the technical test but it seems people always expecting me to have full scores in the test and in KL, most of the companies usually look into qualifications, experience or technical test. Passion is rarely in their list. At the same time, some people analysed to me that I'm probably over qualified to apply certain jobs in KL or the internal staff feel I might probably an arrogant person or a threat if I join the company. Why their thinking can be that complicated or I'm just too simple? I just want to get a job and that's all. Few weeks ago, I got an interview from a very good company. When I went to their office for the second interview, I feel so comfortable and it reminds me of my ex-company in Sydney. The bad thing is few days before the technical test, I had a serious flu and I was sick for a few days. I didn't have much time to prepare for it and in the end, I didn't do well in the test. I just accept it as a fate. I started to ask myself. Am I only acceptable in bad companies like my ex-company? Does it means I never ever got chosen by good companies? Most of the technical tests that I went through, I'm really curious to know how many of those questions are being implemented by the company itself or it's just to test the candidates. Most of the questions are very rare case and there was one company required the answers in their language format. Since I'm not a fast learner, this is definitely a disadvantage for me to learn the language on the spot and answering the questions at the same time. Sometimes, I have a weird thinking. If I knew there are so many technical tests in IT field to prove my capability and knowledge, I should study in different field which doesn't need to go through this kind of test. To be honest, I never feel tired of technical test before this as I know this is part of the interview process in IT until now. I don't know whether I should describe my current feeling is scare or numb about it.
Sometimes, I just want to become a freelancer and give up of getting a permanent job. I feel if there are nobody trusts my capability or willing to give me a chance, then, I should give the chance to prove myself. I don't need to go through those technical tests to prove to them who I am as I know myself better. In fact, I almost finished designing a website last week using Twitter Bootstrap which I just learned last week as well. I heard about Twitter Bootstrap when I worked in my ex-company but I never got the chance to involve in it. Maybe my interest is no longer in application development but more to web design? I have no idea. Until now, I don't have a concrete answer about what I actually want to do and I don't know whether I should continue to apply for a permanent job but to be honest, freelancer is my dream for so many years. Since I'm a homely person and likes freedom in my work, this might be the job for me but I feel a bit worry for the financial part. I know it will be more stable if I work in both permanent job and freelance work but I might not be able to handle both at the same time.
Or maybe I should work as a freelancer until I move back to Australia rather than working in another company for a few months. Even if I move back to Australia, I need to have certain amount of money as I know I won't be able to get a job that soon at there. Maybe I really should have a clearer mind and work out a better plan in an organised way.by

Chris Wilcox will undergo testing for back, could have MRI
#Celticstalk: Chris Wilcox expected to have tests (possible MRI) performed on his back when the #Celtics return home.
A. Sherrod Blakely
Bad news for Chris Wilcox, who has sat out several practices with what the team called back spasms. Hopefully his issues aren't anything worse than spasms. After recovering from heart surgery, the poor guy could use a break.
3 Responses to "Chris Wilcox will undergo testing for back, could have MRI"
And that's why, ladies and gents, I have nothing but disappointment for Chris Wilcox. He always starts the season injured and will spend most of his time on the bench "nursing an injury." I'm glad that at least Darko is getting an opportunity and with that 9 rebound, three assist, and four blocked shots game, I would be very worried if I were Wilcox.

I am going to wait till Monday, see if he annoys me, and go from there! That is my glorious rational measure to take.
Our upstairs looks so odd. The wall that was making the spare room up there a spare room is now lying on out driveway. The walls that were once covered in brown paneling are now covered in white. Instead of a feel of vile carpet on my bare feet there is a cool hardwood feel. It is more open and the air circulates more so it's cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Aunt Sharon is now the coach's assistant in the girl's golf team. I played golf once....I didn't get a hole in one, but I did hit a guy and that's way more satisfying. Your supposed to yell FORE, but I was too busy mumbling that there was no way that's gonna hit him.
Dad wanted some donuts. We went to that donut shop place in Clemson and bought some and the guy gave me a recieipt for the donut. I don't need a receipt for the donut, I give you the money, you give me the donut, end of transaction. We do not need to bring ink and paper into this. I can not imagine a senerio where I would have to prove that I bought a donut. Some skeptical friend. Don't even act like I didn't get that donut. I got the documentation right here.

Rain Song (Heart of Carolina Book #1) by Alice J. Wisler is today's Free eBook of the Day.
The romance novel from Bethany House Publishers is about a young woman on a journey. Check it out:
Nicole Michelin avoids airplanes, motorcycles, and most of all, Japan, where her parents once were missionaries. Something happened in Japan…something that sent Nicole and her father back to America alone…something of which Nicole knows only bits and pieces. But she is content with life in little Mount Olive, North Carolina, with her quirky relatives, tank of lively fish, and plenty of homemade pineapple chutney. Through her online column for the Pretty Fishy Web site, she meets Harrison Michaels, who, much to her dismay, lives in Japan. She attempts to avoid him, but his e-mails tug at her heart. Then Harrison reveals that he knew her as a child in Japan. In fact, he knows more about her childhood than she does…

Slim Folio for iPad Mini/iPad Mini 2
Read All Reviews | write a review
Love it. Only one teeeny problem
I LOVE buying (and selling at my job) case mate cases. They are always sturdy and amazing. My only gripe with this case is there's nothing holding it in the top. And I'm scared it might slide out after being used for awhile. Other than that it's perfect. Color looks just as pictured. It Dosent feel cheap or flimsy. I love case mate products. My ipad and iPhone love then too! =}
Great Case
This is a wonderful case. The only disappointment is that I can't rotate the iPad to stand in the portrait position. But looks, feel, and construction of this case is way superior to the general ones I've seen available. I highly recommend this case!
-Derwin Brown
Very rich and works quite well for my needs.
Only One Flaw
I really like the Case-Mate Slim Folio that I bought for my iPad Mini. It's great quality and seems really protective. The only thing I don't like about it is that when you fold the cover back the hinge is a curved piece of leather that doesn't crease very easy. This makes it harder to hold in one hand. I would still definitely recommend getting the case!
Luv it
Love the slimness of the case, the ability to clean. The only thing the groove for standing not too greet but overall love it
-Barbara romm
Colorful and Fun IPad Cover
A very useful cover at a great price. My 7 year old niece loved the colors.

Newtown: There is no instant answer
A man, armed with multiple firearms and wrapped in a bullet-proof vest. A "man," according to the news reports, prepared for suburban combat, but in pursuit of victims incapable of fighting back.
On Friday morning, 20 children went to elementary school and encountered this... person. They never came back. A whole classroom's worth of children, murdered. Words fail. Sadness overwhelms.
In the minutes and hours that passed in agonzing slowness that day, some people found words. They banged away as rapidly as their fingers could find the keys. Though nothing of the shooter was known (his identity was first reported incorrectly), they had answers. Oh, they had answers.
Regurgitated into cyberspace were opinions set in stone long ago. They let everyone know what should be done - immediately - to ensure that nothing like this every happens again.
In times of great tragedy, we all search for answers. We are, or try to be, rational beings. Explanations must be had. This is a nation founded upon the principle that we can settle our differences and solve our problems through rational discourse. Citizens of a great republic, we are predisposed to believe that every problem has a solution, and the solution is political in nature. Some things, though, cannot be explained.
Perhaps there are collective actions we can take to reduce the horrors that too often visit themselves upon innocents. Perhaps some of those actions are political. But we are not so sure.
Technologies cannot be uninvented. Pathologies cannot be fixed. While we seek solutions, let us remember that humanity is complex and its deepest secrets remain incomprehensible, at least for now.
That is not to say that we shrug our shoulders and carry on. It is to say, simply, that it can be hard to tell societal flaws from human ones, especially when we are in a rush to act. Sometimes our afflictions can be only treated, not cured, no matter how deeply they hurt.

Submit your question below about any cosmetic procedure to be considered for posting with an answer from one of our board-certified plastic surgeons.
If your question is about the cost of a procedure, click here. For referral to a qualified surgeon in your area, see find a surgeon.
Note: ASAPS cannot give advice about specific medical problems nor should answers provided by responding surgeons be substituted for a complete medical history, work-up and an in-personal medical/surgical consultation. Sorry we can't answer all questions. We try to select questions that have the widest general interest.
Can I have a breast reduction if I have had triple bypass surgery?
I am 5'2", wear a 42 H bra and weigh approximately 185 pounds. I will be 52 years old in Dec., 2012. I had triple bypass surgery in Nov. of 2008. I have a very small frame but I am over weight in my breasts and tummy. My arms and legs are normal size. I really need to have a breast reduction. Is it safe after my bypass surgery?
This question is best answered by your cardiologist. Consider a visit to him requesting pre operative cardiopulmonary clearance for a general anesthetic for your breast reduction. he may conduct some evaluations to determine if you are healthy enough to safely tolerate the surgery. Then, with this data in hand consider a consult to one of the many members of the ASAPS. Yes, we have done breast reduction on patients that have had cardiac by-passes after they have been cleared for surgery. You certainly seem to qualify for a breast reduction based upon your description but, remember to also check your insurance policy. Some insurance carriers do not cover breast reductions as a covered service and others have very strict criteria to be included for coverage. Your H.R. staff may be able to assist you in making this determination with a simple call.
Gary R Culbertson, MD, FACS
Hello Tammy,
Any surgery carries a certain amount of risk. Your history of cardiac bypass will put you a a certain risk during a major surgery.
You need a complete cardiac workup by your cardiologist and complete clearance to proceed with the surgery. You may need an Echocardiogram and maybe a cardiac scan to evaluate the heart function. Once cleared you need to discuss the surgery and potential risks. Then you can decide if you want to proceed with the surgery.
S.F. Shureih, MD
Your cardiologist will need to evaluate you and determine your risk for the breast reduction surgery. Once you have been cleared for the surgery a board certified plastic surgeon will be able to perform your surgery. Technical information about your bypass will be important to your plastic surgeon to safely design your procedure. I agree you are a candidate for reduction surgery but would also encourage you to lose weight. Not only would you achieve a better cosmetic result but the long term health implications are significant. I hope this was helpful.
R. W. Kessler, MD

Police: Thieves tried to sell items back to victimFebruary 7, 2014 @ 6:45 am
DENVER (AP) - Denver police have arrested four suspects accused of unwittingly trying to sell items they stole back to the burglary victim.
KMGH-TV ( http://tinyurl.com/mqhetvy) reports Lacinda Robinson discovered the items missing at her home on Friday and drove to the parking lot of a nearby fast-food restaurant to report the theft. That's where she says she was approached by two people asking if she wanted to buy a video game set.
Robinson says she was startled when another person walked up wearing her jacket. She went next door to a gas station and found two off-duty police officers who made the arrests.
Robinson told police she is still missing an iPad, a flat-screen TV and some cash.

Frank Stoltze talks pot and heroin at Drug Policy Reform Conference
Frank Stoltze
These are the questions asked at the 2011 Drug Policy Reform Conference held in downtown LA recently: will California, Washington State or Colorado vote to legalize marijuana in 2012? What are the solutions to the national overdose crisis that takes more lives than car accidents or gun violence? Why do blacks go to jail for drugs at 13 times the rate of whites even though they use and sell drugs at similar rates? KPCC's Frank Stoltze toured the conference and met a mom with two sons addicted to heroin, a Montanan fighting his state's lawmakers, and a cannabis journalist whom he asks, "Do we know if Jesus smoked pot?"

From the Indiana Department of Natural Resources
-- Shooting sports is one of the six events available free of charge at the Hoosier Outdoor Experience Sept. 18 and 19 at Fort Harrison State Park in Indianapolis.
Last year, 5,100 children and adults learned gun safety and shot a pellet gun or shotgun under expert supervision. Many were shooting for the first time. Overall, 13,300 children and adults participated in the Hoosier Outdoor Experience.
The activity is sponsored in part by a $10,000 grant to the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation from the Indiana Friends of the National Rifle Association. This is the second consecutive year the group has underwritten the shooting-sports area.
Other opportunities to take aim include archery and bowfishing. Parking, admission, activities, demonstrations and seminars at the Hoosier Outdoor Experience are free to the public, but online advance registration is requested to assist with planning/staffing. To register or learn more, go to hoosieroutdoorexperience.IN.gov and click on the orange registration icon.
"Rarely have I seen such enthusiasm for a program from our members," said John Crone, former NRA field representative for Indiana. "We cannot wait to provide the opportunity for thousands to learn about firearm safety and target shooting again this year." Steve Teutsch, current NRA field representative for Indiana, anticipates similar results. "I'm looking forward to working with programs like this that introduce firearms and safety to kids from all walks of life."
The Hoosier Outdoor Experience is presented by the DNR and the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation. The goal is to introduce people to outdoor activities they may have never tried.
Friends of the NRA is a grassroots fund-raising program organized by local volunteers. Since the program began in 1993, it has funded thousands of local projects that include youth education efforts, firearms training and conservation projects.
For more information, contact Marty Benson, DNR assistant communications director, at (317) 233-3853 or e-mail email@example.com.

Special needs student awarded homecoming king by classmates
Published On: Jan 24 2013 10:15:47 AM EST
Even before the votes were announced, the homecoming nominees at Community High School in Tennessee knew Scott Maloney would be named their king.
The three nominees for homecoming king agreed before the results were read that if any of them won, they'd pass the crown to Maloney who suffers from a neurological genetic condition.
Maloney has Williams Syndrome which inhibits speech and learning. Despite his condition, Maloney remains a popular student at the school in Unionville, Tenn.
When the votes were read on Friday night, Jesse Cooper was named the winner. It was then that the school's principal announced what Maloney's classmates had agreed to do, causing the students on hand to rise for a standing ovation.

Cereal Maker Kellogg Jumps As Workforce Slashed
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Kellogg (K) shares were popping Monday after the cereal maker's downbeat full-year year guidance was offset by its announcement of a plan to cut costs by laying-off employees.
Kellogg is calling the plan "Project K," and it is expected to include the elimination of about 7% of its workforce by the end of 2017 as well as the consolidation of facilities and the closing of others as the company seeks to consolidate operations. The cash savings from the "efficiency and effectiveness" program is expected to reach an annual run-rate of between $425 million and $475 million by 2018, the Battle Creek, Michigan-based company said.
Shares were jumping 3% to $64.17 to extend its 2013 advance to 14%. The S&P 500 Index, by comparison, has gained 23.6% this year.
The savings afforded by the layoffs will be earmarked to increase growth in developing and emerging markets as well as to fund innovation, Kellogg said.
The announcement accompanied the company's weakened outlook announced on Monday before the start of regular trading in New York. Kellogg said it expects full-year reported earnings to be toward the lower end of its previously provided range of between $3.75 and $3.84 a share due to weaker than expected sales in certain categories in which the company competes.
"Expectations over fundamentals have been among the lowest in U.S. food, and we see the efficiency plan, if effectively implemented, as a longer term positive for sentiment," John Baumgartner, a New York-based senior analyst at Wells Fargo Securities, said in a morning note.For the third quarter, Kellogg reported earnings of 95 cents a share on revenue of $3.72 billion, beating the average analyst estimate of 89 cents a share on revenue of $3.71 billion, as volume weakness in North America was offset by sales growth strength in Europe and Latin America.
"Overall, sales growth in the quarter was tepid, but the bounce in Europe (entirely driven by higher snacks sales) was a bright spot," Erin Lash, an equity analyst at Chicago-based Morningstar added in an email. --Written by Andrea Tse in New York

Some have already taken to calling the events in the Middle East "the Arab 1848." Future generations, perhaps, will talk about the "spirit of 2011" when the ground begins to crumble beneath their own autocracies.
But are the same factors at work today as they were in past revolutionary surges? Some are undoubtedly similar -- throngs of disgruntled people have taken to the streets, questing for freedom and economic opportunity. Others, like the use of social media from YouTube to Facebook and Twitter, are undoubtedly new and different. Do the unfolding events of 2011 fit with our existing understanding of revolution or might they warrant updating?
By far the most influential and infamous account of revolution comes from Karl Marx. In The Communist Manifesto, authored with his benefactor and collaborator Frederich Engels and published in the real 1848, Marx argued that that revolutions are an inevitable and necessary outgrowth of economic development. The rise of industry and of an emergent capitalist class upended the old feudal order while ushering in a new more dynamic but inherently unstable capitalist system. As the capitalist class rises to new heights, Marx wrote, the working class is simultaneously expanded and immiserated, sowing the seeds of the next revolutionary impulse and its own demise.
Revolution = size of working class, exploitation of working class, working class consciousness and organization (working class papers, trade unions, labor parties).
Many alternative accounts of revolution have been proposed since Marx's day. In nations where capitalism emerged early, the rising bourgeoisie was able to secure a power base independent of the aristocracy and usher in a process of gradual democratization, according to Barrington Moore classic, The Social Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy. Countries whose economies developed later were more likely to undergo abrupt transformations. Students played a key role in the revolutionary uprisings of 1968; the same era saw the rise of the civil rights movement in the United States and of the women's and gay liberation, environmental, and anti-war movements in the advanced nations. These "new social movements" came to be seen a new driving force behind political activism.
The uprisings of 2011, however, owe much of their impetus to the working class and labor movements as well as young people and students, according to the Middle East expert Juan Cole. Rising unemployment rates, stagnant wages and falling living standards prompted blue-collar workers to return to the barricades.
But a new generation of techies, social media types, and digitally savvy professionals have also played a visibly important role. Wael Ghonim, the Google executive who became the public face of Egypt's uprising, is the veritable archetype of this Creative Class, spanning science, technology and engineering professionals, management and business executives, doctors, health care professionals and lawyers, as well as arts, culture and media workers. In an emotional interview recorded immediately after his release from detention, Ghonim pointed explicitly to the role that Facebook and YouTube music videos played in Mubarak's ouster. "We're the youth who loves Egypt," he declared, "And we did this because we love Egypt." Intellectuals and artists as well as students have long participated in revolutionary movements, but usually in subsidiary roles. This time creative class members are part of the vanguard.
In identifying the creative class role, I do not intend to diminish the role of unions and various other political, religious and social movements that have driven this and other seasons of revolution. I simply aim to call attention to this key factor that has become increasingly salient to the surge of revolutionary activity occurring today.
Using data from the International Labor Organization, the map below charts the percentage of the workforce in the creative class in the Middle East and around the world.
The highest percentages of the creative class -- in the range of 40 to 45 percent -- are found in wealthy, advanced nations like the Netherlands, Singapore, Australia, Scandinavia, Belgium, Germany, the United Kingdom and Canada. Egypt's creative class comprises roughly a third (33.1%) of its workforce, on par with the United States (34.8%). Only Israel -- where the creative class makes up 40 percent of the workforce -- has a higher creative class share in the Middle East. The creative class looms larger than one might expect, numbering one in five workers in Saudi Arabia (23.2%), the United Arab Emirates (UAE) (22%), Qatar (21.8%), Syria (21.8%) and Algeria (21.4%). These levels are higher than in the rapidly growing nation of Brazil (18.4%) and roughly triple that of China (7.4%), the world's second largest economy.
Not all countries collect and report data on their creative class and other workforce categories. These figures are lacking for Iraq, Lebanon, Tunisia, Libya, and Kuwait in the Middle East, as well as several dozen other countries in the rest of the world. So I also use another closely related measure that is more systematically available for a larger group of nations -- the level of human capital -- the percentage of the young adults engaged in post-secondary or "tertiary" education. This measure is closely related to creative class workforce (with a substantial statistical correlation of .75).
The map above shows the human capital levels for the Middle East and the world. The top ranked nations on this measure -- Korea, Finland, the US, Sweden, Norway, New Zealand, and, perhaps surprisingly, Greece -- have more than 75 percent of their young adults enrolled in tertiary education. For advanced nations like the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands, France, Italy and Japan the figure is 55 to 60 percent. Israel is the highest ranked Middle Eastern nation on this measure (57%). But several other Middle Eastern nations are also quite high, notably Libya (53%) and Lebanon (49%). Tertiary enrollment levels are higher in the West Bank (38%) and Jordan (35%) than they are in Hong Kong (34%). And tertiary enrollment levels are above 25% in Bahrain (31%), Egypt (29%), Tunisia (28%), and Saudi Arabia (27%). Tertiary enrollment in Iran (24%) and the UAE (23%) are roughly the same as Brazil (23%).

i've always been environmentally conscious - recycling everything i could, using canvas bags at the grocery store. i thought i was a good eco-friendly, hybrid driving, NPR listening person - until a few months ago i came across the zero waste home blog. i became inspired (and maybe a little obsessive) to transition to zero waste. i read the entire blog. i watched movies, read other blogs and started making a book list.
i came to the realization that reducing the waste would effect not only the planet - it directly effects my health. reducing waste means buying un-packaged food, fresher fruits and vegetables, dried beans and whole grains from bulk bins. it also means i won't be buying chemical ridden cleaning and personal hygiene products. i've only just started reducing my waste a few months ago and i've already noticed a difference.
1. re-useable grocery totes - this is an essential to reduce waste, especially if you live somewhere that has banned plastic bags (LA has, although plastic bags will still be available at stores like target, and plastic produce bags will still be available. still, a step in the right direction.). try to get bags made from natural fibers. canvas is my favorite and the bags will last forever! i have some canvas ones that i inherited from my mom! also, most grocery stores have started offering a small discount if you bring your own bag!
2. muslin produce & bulk bags - use these bags for buying dried goods from the bulk bins. buying from the bulk bins not only reduces the amount of waste, but you can avoid the plastic coated cans (which contain BPA) and its actually ends up being cheaper buying dried beans over canned! make sure you get a water soluble crayon to write the bin number on the outside of the bag.
3. net produce bags - these are lightweight and great for buying loose produce. i take them to the farmers market where i can buy loose lettuce mixes, beans in the pod, apples, etc... you can also just throw the bag with the produce into the refrigerator to use as storage!
4. re-useable water bottle - there are a lot of options for water bottles out there, but i prefer the stainless steel over BPA - free plastic ones. i've been searching for a bottle completely free of plastic and finally found one from kleen kanteen.
5. kishu binchotan charcoal - the zero waste water purification system to replace your brita filter! use in a glass pitcher on the counter. i also have a few glass bottles (from french lemonade) that i fill with the purified water and then put in the fridge so i have cold water. the charcoal in a pitcher also can serve as a functional decoration on your kitchen counter!
6. re-useable insulated cup - if you love going to get coffee and take it to-go, a re-useable insulated cup is a MUST. just think of all the paper (which are lined with plastic) and plastic cups you'll save! since it is insulated you can put hot and cold drinks in it.
7. stainless steel kitchen compost bucket - i've had an outside compost (earth machine) for over a year now, but once i got a kitchen compost bucket i've started composting almost everything i produce! the obvious compostables are fruit and vegetable trimmings, you can put paper (toilet paper rolls, cut up cardboard boxes), dryer lint, even hair that falls out when you brush you hair. i've also read that you can pee in the compost, but i haven't tried that yet.
8. glass canisters - take these to the grocery store when buying wet products - meat, fish, cheese. buy it at the deli counter, rather than the pre-sliced packaged meat & cheese.
9. mason jars - use these to store dried grains and beans in when you return home from the store. i also have some old tomato sauce jars that i use to store my cooked beans in for the week. also, good for canning!
and just in case i haven't inspired you - check out some of the things that have inspired me to go zero waste:
i'm going to be sharing my experience transitioning to zero waste, and would love to hear from anyone who is/starts to do the same! while this may not be fashion related, being environmentally conscious is a big part of my personal style.

You know those adorable little Android collectables made by Andrew Bell and Dead Zebra? Well, you can head over that way and buy yourself an early non-denominational holiday festival present. Dead Zebra has opened "The Vault," which is stocked with leftover Android minis from old sets and heavily discounted units with slightly jacked up packaging.
Last Updated: September 10th, 2011
Many of you have been asking how you could get your hands on those little Android guys that you can usually see hanging out in my reviews. Like these ones here:
I've personally acquired them over time - at Google I/O, the Lookout party, and Dead Zebra itself (no, you can't have mine!), but that's not the only way.
A good friend of ours, Omar Trujillo, also known as @0mie, partnered with us to promote his official vinyl figurines store where you can pick up authentic, Google-licensed, Dead Zebra-designed vinyl Android figurines and give them a new home.

The Musendrophilus -- April Fool's Day, 1975
The naturalist David Attenborough gave a report on BBC Radio 3 about a group of islands in the Pacific known as the Sheba Islands. He played sound recordings of the island's fauna, including a recording of a night-singing, yodelling tree mouse called the Musendrophilus. He also described a web-footed species whose webs were prized by inhabitants of the island as reeds for musical instruments.

Do you or should you use such phrases and words despite being Atheist? I'm not sure, but I am very guilty of using them anyways, mainly cause of the culture I grew up with in the US. A smidgen of me enjoys knowing that it is meaningless to me but pokes at the offending religion that is Christianity. I really should be a better person and just drop them from my vocabulary completely, yet I have the thought that it would just look like I am justifying or giving power to that religion over me. Your thoughts?
Views: 1571
I think this is much more a social issue than a religious one.
The phrases we use to swear completely depend on our culture. Those people who swore "by Jove" in 19th century England did not believe in Jupiter. Despite this, I suspect it lost none of its meaning or offensiveness in the context of that society.
I like my swearing and reserve my right to use it as desired. I might modify my language and use different swear words around friends who are offended by some words more than others.
Most of the time it is just an automatic reaction by me to denote annoyance or emphasis, used to communicate meaning in the same way as I use all other language.
lol Mike! :)
You can just forgive yourself ahead of time and be forewarned that some might use your words as a cudgel to show you how you are actually a believer just like they are; after all, you call out to God and Jesus. You could also use the late Aleister Crowley's method: each time you blaspheme by taking the Lord's name in vain, slash your forearm with a razor just enough to draw blood. By the time the welts are just starting to heal, you will remember the pain and forego the holy names. Be sure and get a tetanus shot.
