Public Editor note on Rosie DiManno's Jan. 18 column on Dr. George Doodnaught's trial
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Note: The following was sent out Jan. 21 to Toronto Star readers who expressed concerns about Rosie DiManno's Jan. 18 column about the trial of Dr. George Doodnaught, an anesthesiologist charged with sexually assaulting 20 women while they were helpless in the North York General Hospital operating theatre, and one at an outside clinic.
Thank you for expressing your view of Rosie DiManno's Jan. 18 column.
While I understand why you find the opening sentence of the column to be insensitive and demeaning to the woman who testified, I have corresponded with DiManno and I am assured there was no intention here to demean the woman or her testimony or make light of the circumstances. Rather, after sitting through all of the sordid, ugly evidence presented in court, she deliberately sought to reflect the grotesque nature of the alleged crime.
Rosie DiManno is one of the Star's best and most prolific writers. DiManno covers many trials with difficult graphic evidence. While I personally concur with those readers critical of this column's opening sentence, I think DiManno's writing overall shows sensitivity and empathy for victims of horrific crimes. As managing editor Jane Davenport told me: "She is more likely than many columnists to walk close to the line in terms of detailing the nature of the crimes, but I think walking this line — balancing their dignity against the imperative 'not to look away' — is something she most often does with skill and care."
The Star's policy and journalistic standards manual states that "Columnists and Op-Ed writers have wide latitude to express their own views in the Star, including views directly contrary to the Star's editorial views, as long as they fall within the boundaries of good taste and the laws of libel."
"Taste" is always a subjective matter and questions of taste in columns and other content are often flagged to the managing editor by columnists themselves or other editors. That did not happen in this case. Had that occurred, I expect the managing editor would have urged DiManno to revise the opening to the column, which otherwise accurately reflects the direct testimony of the victim.

DEFINITION of 'Actual Cash Value'
The amount equal to the replacement cost minus depreciation of a damaged or stolen property at the time of the loss. It is the actual value for which the property could be sold, which is always less than what it would cost to replace it.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Actual Cash Value'
Sometimes, insurance companies use actual cash value to determine the amount to be paid to a policyholder after loss or damage to the insured property. In the case of an automobile that is totaled in an accident, for example, the insurance company would typically pay the actual cash value of the vehicle after determining its replacement cost and subtracting factors such as depreciation and wear and tear. Under replacement-cost coverage, the insurer would pay the amount required to replace the covered item with a like-kind new one.

Chris Colfer Boyfriend Will Sherrod Spotted At Dancing With The Stars [VIDEO]: Will Kurt And Blaine Get Engaged On Glee Season 5?
By Staff Writer | September 18, 2013 11:54 AM EDT
Chris Colfer may be busy on "Glee" season 5, but the actor and his boyfriend Will Sherrod have also been spotted on the latest episode of "Dancing With the Stars."
Like Us on Facebook
During former "Glee" cast member Amber Riley's cha-cha number, Colfer and Sherrod can be spotted with Dianna Agron, Jenna Ushkowitz, Kevin McHale, and Ashley Fink.
Although Chris Colfer has been dating Will Sherrod for some time, their boyfriend pair have been emerging more and more this summer.
And while Chris Colfer may be happy with his boyfriend Will, what about his "Glee" persona Kurt Hummel and Blaine?
According to early rumors regarding "Glee" season 5, Kurt and Blaine could be getting engaged.
In fact, it seems Kurt and Blaine will have a big storyline in the "Glee" season 5 premiere episode, "Love, Love, Love."
"The members of New Directions are back in action and take on their biggest assignment yet: the Beatles!" says the "Glee" press release.
"As Will enlists the kids to pay homage to the classic song catalog from the Fab Four, Blaine and Kurt attempt to answer questions about their future together. Meanwhile, Rachel's New York ambitions take an unexpected turn."
Thanks to some early set photos of Chris Colfer and Darren Criss, it seems one of them will propose to the other, but whether one will say yes to the other, is another question.

Fareed Zakaria sees a silver lining in our economic woes. Individuals, the feds, and, yes, state and local governments, will suddenly have to show some fiscal restraint.
Amid the financial chaos and economic uncertainty that has rocked world
markets, I can see one silver lining. This crisis has forced the United
States to confront the bad habits it developed over the past few decades.
If we can kick those habits, today's pain will translate into gains in the
long run.
But the average American's behavior was virtuous compared with government
behavior. Every city, county and state has wanted to preserve its
proliferating operations yet not raise taxes. How to square this circle? By
borrowing, using ever more elaborate financial instruments.
Somehow, I can imagine a lot of elected officials (who don't tend to like to raise taxes or cut spending) responding, "That is the good news!?!"

Sex education at home

Done to death I know, but anyway.
I have 3 girls, now aged 7.5, almost 6 and almost 4. I've always planned to be very open about sex and all related topics. But they NEVER ASK.
It's got to the point where I sometimes stretch a conversation to try to bring in "where did I come from" information, but they are not even vaguely interested and usually change the subject after a couple of minutes. I've borrowed a couple of picture books in the past that kind of broached the subject, but they were rejected after one reading in favour of witches/fairies.
I don't think they know much. About 6 months ago my middle child said something that made it clear she believed all babies were born by being "cut out of their mummy's tummies". I tried to explain that wasn't the case, but I don't know if she was listening.
So... what do you do at this point? Force them (well, the 7.5 year old) to sit for a proper "Birds and Bees" discussion? Buy "Where did I come from?" and leave it lying around?
One of her friends is showing some signs of pre-puberty - I can't let this go on forever...

my kids generally are not interested 7, 5 &3.
DS1 asked how babies were made the other school holidays. We for " mummy laid an egg" which the kids thought was funny. Also purchased secret boys/girls business for them to look at when they want. We spoke around some of the pictures.
DS 2 will tell you he was cut from mummy's tummy as I have had 3 x c/s and they can see my scar (I get hypertrophic s raring so it is very visible)
Posted 13 November 2012 - 06:39 PM
Interesting question. I only have a pre-schooler, so I can't give you experiences of being a parent of that aged children and talking about this.
But, I do sex ed in schools (primary and secondary). I talk to kids about where they find out about these things, and those that know the most clearly have parents who (appropriately) use every possible opportunity to educate about the topic. Whenever a friend has a child, when they get a new pet or one dies, when pregnancy or birth are discussed on TV, when relationships are discussed, when visiting the zoo, etc. It looks like you're trying to do this already, but if they're not responding then maybe it is time for a sit down talk?
The theory is that if you are honestly open to the discussion and answer questions as truthfully and as openly as possible, they'll keep on asking more questions when they're developmentally ready. They ask questions that are appropriate to their developmental stage and knowledge, so you might start a conversation about babies that they then lose interest in when their questions are answered as much as they want them to be. I see this behaviour in kids that have been taught it at home, they're comfortable asking questions and receiving answers (whereas most other kids just sit and giggle).
"Where did I come from" is a good tool to start conversations for some. In my opinion, particularly for your oldest daughter (but for all of them really) it's time to really start getting that education into them. Most primary schools don't do any kind of puberty or sex education, and this means that if parents haven't done it (or, in particular, haven't done it well!!!) then kids are going into one of the biggest changes of their lives completely blind.
Anyway, as I said, this is just my opinion as somebody who is often left dealing with kids who really do think that their mother has a zip in their tummy, or don't know what a penis is, or have never heard of a period, etc. I'm sure that a parent with similarly aged kids will be able to give you some more relevant advice soon.

Posted 13 November 2012 - 07:05 PM
My kids never asked either. I dropped hints but they weren't interested at all. Hell, I flat out asked if they knew about various things and they practically ran away screaming. I figured that they didn't NEED to know until they were approaching puberty.
Our school does sex ed (mostly about puberty but with the basics of reproduction) in year 5 or 6. So when they were due to have sex ed I asked if they wanted me to give them some info up front or would they prefer to hear about it in class. DD opted for up front, DS for in class (even though DH offered to talk to him if he preferred that).
I kind of expected it really. I never asked about it either. I don't think it needs to pushed until there are signs that they are approaching puberty. Then they need to know, whether they want to or not.
Posted 13 November 2012 - 07:09 PM
I've got 3 girls, age 11, almost 9 and 6
I wouldn't be stressing too much at the moment. Your oldest is only 7.5. That would only be yr 2 at school?
Obviously, if things come up, I would be very open and discuss it. If you see something on tv that might prompt questions, or if they are talking about something they were told at school etc. Keep the answers simple and matter of fact. When they do start asking questions, don't make every question into a big "talk" because usually they just want a simply answer and to then go on with whatever else they were doing. If they get the simple answer, I think they are more likely to be willing to ask again next time.
My oldest was 9 when I bought a couple of books, and starting having some little chats with her. She is a very big reader, and once I let her know about the books, she started to have a bit of a look through them. Every so often she'd ask me questions, particularly at bedtime when we tend to have a bit of good night chat.
It's only been now at age 11 that I've done the more detailed chat, and showed her things like pads etc.
My DD2 who is almost 9 hasn't asked. I think she has picked up a bit by hearing discussions with DD1, and I recently pulled one of the younger books from DD1's room and showed her. But no real interest or questions yet.
Posted 13 November 2012 - 07:09 PM
Yeah, backfired on me too, they never asked. It just got to crisis point because DD1 is 12 and wants to read/watch some more advanced stuff that she needs to know about that stuff first. She still doesn't want to know but far out child .... *headdesk*
Posted 13 November 2012 - 07:20 PM
I really do understand not pushing information onto a child. But, girls can start puberty as early as 7 years old. For those of you whose girls just don't want to know, do you just wait until your daughter shows some signs of puberty before bringing it up? It must be hard preparing them for these changes if they don't want to know...
Posted 13 November 2012 - 07:24 PM
Well depends what we are talking about. I told DD1 about periods anyway - too bad, so sad. But the sex stuff, she's not listening. I am sure she knows the basics, but I didn't tell her so I don't know how much.
I dunno about 'hard preparing them for these changes' though - they knew they would grow pubic hair and boobs because I have them, and that's all that has happened so far ...
Posted 13 November 2012 - 07:30 PM
Ok that's cool. I don't think many kids that age really want to know too much about sex (well from their parents, anyway), I was more wondering about periods and such.
In regards to "these changes", I was thinking, in addition to periods (and vaginal discharge), about the emotional and psychological changes that go with puberty and growing up.
Thanks for answering!
Posted 13 November 2012 - 07:34 PM
She's so emotional the last thing she wants to hear is how she's going to get all emotional
So we're just winging that with Girlfriend, Dolly and school sex ed. Hopefully she will glean something form there because she's gone completely prickly and I know nothing, can tell her nothing and should be seen and not heard
Posted 13 November 2012 - 07:41 PM
Hi there,
I had moved your topic in the News forum to the Relationships one, and then discovered this one . I have merged the two together so save the responses you received in the other thread
To answer your question in the OP, I have two girls who are of similar age tlo your DDs and one who is older. I find they ask me questions and I answer them as honestly as I can. If they want more information, they ask for it, but most of the time all I hear is "Ewww, that's grooooose".
Posted 13 November 2012 - 07:49 PM
But, girls can start puberty as early as 7 years old
7 really is the extreme end of the age range. Not many are going to start at 7.
I think it comes down to knowing your own child, your own family.
If there is a history of getting your period early in your family, then I'd probably bring it up sooner.
If you notice your daughter starting to develop, then that is a sign to start talking.
And there's also a lot of knowing the best way your child will take the information. With DD1, the easiest way was reading. She can take it at her own pace. Other kids might prefer to sit and chat.
But it's surprising the amount they can pick up from all sorts of sources. I know DD1 has picked up a lot through tv. DD1 has been into watching 7th Heaven (she records it during the day, watches in the afternoon). The tv show has actually covered a LOT of stuff, and often prompts a few questions.
If they hang out with older kids at any point, they can notice things. My DD1 dances with a lot of older girls, so has noticed them changing.
Posted 13 November 2012 - 10:00 PM
All my chn are older than the OPs chn. I won't be discussing it until year 5 as I don't think they need to know before then.
Mine know a baby is made by 2 parents in love with each other. They know a baby grows inside a mum. They know that as they get older they'll become more hairy, develop breast (DD) and penis will grow (boys).
Write now we're focussing on conflict resolution skills, building an open relationship with our children to ask qns and share feelings and teaching respect for opposite gender (care to join in on the gender equality debates about gangnum style?).
I was given info. from 10 on. I don't feel it did me any harm. What I felt did me harm was not having a strong relationship with my mother where I could talk about what was happening in my life.
Posted 13 November 2012 - 10:15 PM
Kids may not ask specific questions, or even related questions, but they will ask questions that you can take as an opportunity to talk about other things. It is up to you to take the opportunities as they present. As kids will not know what they don't know, they may never ask certain questions. So you just have to get in there and use your initiative.
In the car is a good time to talk to kids, as they can't escape!

Posted 13 November 2012 - 10:32 PM
It is our responsibility as parents to begin this education. Sex ed at school is not enough. It gives the facts etc. parents need to further this with what is appropriate, particularly teaching boys that sexual contact needs to be consensual. We need to teach them what consensual is. Just because a girl does not say no that is not consent. So many young girls are sexually assaulted because they are drunk/in shock/not sure what is going on. So many boys sexually assalt because they are hormonal/drunk/in a group situation where touching a young girl feels ok because she didn't say no.
Start as soon as possible and keep talking about it. We need to teach our children to look out for their siblings and friends and protect themselves. We also need to teach our children to recognise how subtle sexual assault can appear at the time.
Posted 13 November 2012 - 10:52 PM
I think a lot of us agree that the stuff at school isn't enough but I certainly don't think my 7 year old boy needs to know anything about sex at the moment. We use the correct body part names and are happy to answer any questions but frankly I don't think they need to know much before 10 at the absolute minimum.
Posted 13 November 2012 - 10:52 PM
I've already bought where do I come from! And by age 7.5, yes, I think I'd maybe read it with her. It does seem a bit late to have no idea.
Posted 13 November 2012 - 10:54 PM
Both my kids 7.5 an 4 know babies grow in a mums tummy but as I said I can't see why a 7 year old needs to know anything about actual sex for quite a while. We do have some books around but he has no interest in them and no interest in asking questions about it either.
Posted 13 November 2012 - 11:10 PM
My DD, very almost 7, knows that mummys have eggs and daddies have seeds and the daddy puts the seed in to make a baby grow, and that babies come out of vaginas. This is all information she has sought from me so I have give her a basic understanding. I dont think she is old enough to know any more yet.
There needs to be some maturity. I'm a bit concerned about the period side of things, my mother was always open so i saw pads and knew what they are for. However I use a menstrual cup and DD sees and knows nothing at all. Still I don't think she is ready yet, its not nice to learn your going to bleed 5 days of the month for a good 30+years.
I still remember how distraught I was when I got my first, and I was very well prepared.

My twin DDs have just turned 9, and I used the wait until they ask approach too. From an early age they knew that babies were made by Mums and Dads, about sperm and egg, and pregnancy and birth, but they didn't ask how the sperm actually gets to the egg until a few months ago. (Of course they asked right as I was making dinner LOL). According to them, none of their peers knew either - whether that's true or whether that's because their parents told them not to talk about it at school I don't know, but 7.5 doesn't seem especially late to me OP.

Done to death I know, but anyway.
I have 3 girls, now aged 7.5, almost 6 and almost 4. I've always planned to be very open about sex and all related topics. But they NEVER ASK.
It's got to the point where I sometimes stretch a conversation to try to bring in "where did I come from" information, but they are not even vaguely interested and usually change the subject after a couple of minutes. I've borrowed a couple of picture books in the past that kind of broached the subject, but they were rejected after one reading in favour of witches/fairies.
I don't think they know much. About 6 months ago my middle child said something that made it clear she believed all babies were born by being "cut out of their mummy's tummies". I tried to explain that wasn't the case, but I don't know if she was listening.
So... what do you do at this point? Force them (well, the 7.5 year old) to sit for a proper "Birds and Bees" discussion? Buy "Where did I come from?" and leave it lying around?
One of her friends is showing some signs of pre-puberty - I can't let this go on forever...
The opportunity to talk to my kids about the bolded part of your post didn't come up for us until I got pregnant again. When DH and I told our boys (6 and 5) that we will be having another baby, we thought it was important that they knew what changes my body will go through, and the details of what happens when a mother gives birth. 6yo DS's first reaction confirmed that they needed some education, because he was very concerned about what I'd go through.
We all sat down together and watched a documentary on pregnancy and birth. It was pretty funny when we got to the actual birth part, and they discovered that the baby would come out of my vagina. I think they were a bit shocked at first! It was a great way to educate them, and I'm glad we watched it.

The idea about this topic is not to ram it down a child's throat. Eventually natural curiousity will happen and they will ask questions when they are ready.
DD1 is 10 and I will be having a talk with her within the next couple of weeks as she bringing information home that isn't quite right. However I have never hidden from her that I get AF - she knows about pads and things but not why I get AF etc.
Every child is different some are more ready to learn about it than others. I know that I have to tread carefully with DD1 because TMI with her would not be to her advantage so I have carefully selected a book ideal for her as I found the books in the shops around here just go too far into things and at 10 she doesn't need to know about contraception etc.

Close your eyes, breathe in deeply, now exhale slowly… That was easy, wasn't it? Not for everyone…
An Egyptian court on Wednesday ordered the release of Hosni Mubarak, imprisoned for several months while awaiting trial on a charge of corruption.
The former dictator has been in jail the maximum amount of time allowed, it said, but his release could be delayed at least until Thursday if the prosecution appeals.
Mubarak has been cleared on one charge of corruption, but a trial on a second charge has not yet been concluded. He formerly was sentenced to life in jail for involvement in the murder or more than 800 protesters in the demonstrations in 2011, but a court accepted his appeal and ordered a re-trial.

student research information request
Hello. I am Tanya Pyke, a senior at New Mexico Tech in Socorro, NM U.S.A. and am doing a research project on different types of concrete block and would like to know if you can help me in my research. I am researching 3 types of block: rastra, apex, and lavarock. I am conducting a competitor analysis with the following information: annual sales revenue, customer base, marketing methods (advertising focus): do-it-yourself'ers, ads, construction builder companies; in addition to any other pertinent information you may have for my research.
This information will be strictly used for academic purposes and if you would like to contact my professor in regard to this request, his contact information is: Dr. Frank Reinow, Professor of Management, NM Tech, 575-835-5459, email: firstname.lastname@example.com. I would appreciate all and any information you could provide. The website for NM Tech is http://www.nmt.edu if you need to verify any of the above information.
Tania Hudson referred me to this site to pose my questions/topic. I hope you can help me as I haven't found anything online and after speaking to our Librarian at my and another college; they think that I will have to resort to old school methods of contacting my sources. I would appreciate any help. Below is some of the information I need to find in my quest.
Thank you. Have a great day!

6. Identify the factors that are most important to the company's
customers such as price, technology, ease of use, or new applications
and uses.
7. Define the most important characteristics in the company's
industry. Is it driven by high or low volume? Is it capital or labor
intensive? Is it seasonal?
8. Identify and profile the company's targeted customers by their
consumer budgets and how their customers make decisions to buy a
9. Identify the company's direct and indirect competitors and
understand their impact on the company.
10. Identify the features that differentiate the company's product(s)
from their competitors' products.
Finally, after analyzing the above information and data, you should be
able to complete the following:
1. Describe the competitor's strengths and weaknesses.
2. Identify what's unique and distinctive about your company's
product(s) in the industry segment and why customers will prefer your
company's product rather than the competitors' products.
