Some of you may know that I was a high school math teacher for a while before the existence of Comic Vine. While I did teach math, I spent a lot of time dealing with literacy as well. I made my students read the textbook (a strange concept for some, reading a math book). There were also the dreaded "word problems." My students were required to answer those with a complete sentence. Simply answering with a numeric answer want not enough for full credit, even if that number was the correct answer. To help with the "newcomer" population, I had a stack of comic books in the back of my classroom. Students were allowed to look at them if they finished their work or test early. They were also allowed to borrow them if they wanted.
What is "Comic Book Literacy"?
Check out the trailer. See how many creators you can name.
Comic Book Literacy" is an independent documentary film that showcases the utilization of comic books to promote literacy and education. Throughout the film educators, researchers, writers and artists give commentary in both an historic and contemporary context on a variety of subjects related to the topic.
There was also an article published last week in the UK Telegraph that I've been meaning to mention. In the article, researchers believe comic books are good for children's learning. Again, this is something we've all known for some time. Scientists from my home state, at the University of Illinois, claim that "reading any work successfully, including comics, requires more than just absorbing text."
Professor Carol Tilley from the department of library and information science said the following:
You can read more about the research HERE.
A lot of the criticism of comics and comic books come from people who think that kids are just looking at the pictures and not putting them together with the words.
Some kids, yes. But you could easily make some of the same criticisms of picture books – that kids are just looking at pictures, and not at the words.
What can you do about this? If you ever have comics or books you don't want, see if you can donate them to a local school, library or hospital. If you have any younger siblings, try giving them a child-friendly comic and read it with them. My daughter learned to read earlier than most of her classmates. While we didn't just sit and look at comics, she did love those moments and quickly felt the desire to try to read on her own.
For more information about the independent film, Comic Book Literacy, check out their website: www.comicbookliteracy.com. Next time someone gives you a hard time about reading comics, now you have something to tell them.

More hotel details, photos and videos
Read reviews
We travelled with our 1yr and 4yr old boys and the hotel couldnt of been more suited.
The staff were first class and very very child friendly.
The hotel itself is so vast you feel like its a mini resort, its so nice not to have the big office block type of hotel.
Instead you've the beautiful little 3 story blocks, and the rooms were faultless.
We had a family room and it felt more like an apartment due to the 2 bedrooms, bathroom and vast hallway.
Food at the hotel is great too with plenty of choice.
The pancake hut was a massive hit with our 4yr old and everyday he had to have his chocolate pancake!
If your looking for a family holiday where all you care about is if its clean, child friendly and value for money then this is for you.
The pools and slides will keep the kids quiet all day and if not then there's the beach so you can't lose.
To balance the review here are the negatives, it is in the middle of nowhere with nothing around to walk to.
Also if you've a small child in a pushchair ask for a ground floor room as there's no lift.
In all honestly though these are very small negatives as the hotels plus points far far far outway the negatives.
And from my point of view if there's no shops around the wife can't spend it!
Would I recomend it?
I'd go back tomorrow if I could, 5 star!!!
We couldn't fault our first family hoilday with our 2 year old. The transfer was smooth & informative. We were met with welcome drinks at the hotel & our luggage taken to our rooms.
The hotel was spotless, extremely friendly staff. The entertainment was fantastic & aimed at families but also adults. The kids club/creche was great & we felt completely at ease leaving our daughter for a few hours. She loved it & wanted to go back every day. Soft play area, kids pool & playground. The beach area has plenty of shade for little ones & the pancake hut is amazing. I went on an excursion to the Turkish Baths which was great, a bit far to go esp when there are spa facilities within the hotel.
The food was great, new different things on every night & kids table, cutlery etc. We didn't get bored of the sea view whilst eating our breakfast.
The rooms were cleaned every day, with a fridge, towels & beach towels supplied.
We can't wait to go again & after our experience will look to book with Thomson family resorts in the future.
Had an excellent holiday here, the staff are so welcoming and will do anything to help.
The whole place is always clean and tidy. This hotel has everything you need for a great holiday especially with young children. The thomson entertainment team were professional and children loved the dancing!
It is not very close to shops etc but its great for a chill out holiday.
Would defo recommend!!
The hotel was the best i have ever been to in Turkey...... and i am no stranger to Turkey.
When you go out of the complex there are no bars or anywhere to go really BUT......there is so much to do at the hotel.
The staff where fantasic and so helpful.... so much choice when it came to the food.
i will be booking this hotel again.
We spent 2 weeks at the Bodrum Imperial and loved every minute of it. There were a few things which weren't quite ready when we got there but there was so much else to do that it really didn't matter. The hotel staff are so polite and helpful and really friendly with the kids, they really can't seem to do enough to ensure guests are happy. The food in the main restaurant is lovely with lots of choice. Me and my husband ate at the fish a la carte one evening and the food was beautiful. Our children (4 and 6) used the Thomson kids club most days and had so much fun. The kids club staff were really friendly and got all the children involved making them feel special. The entertainment team were brilliant too. They always had something going on around the pool in the day and the kids disco in the evening was great for the kids, and gave us parents a chance to chill out and have a few drinks. The beach was lovely, although we did spend more time around the pool but that was because the children enjoyed the games that were being played! Just one word of warning, the shop on the complex is SO expensive!! There is a small village shop a 2 minute walk away which is a lot cheaper so if you want buckets and spades or postcards then I'd head up there instead of using the hotel shop. We only left the complex once for an excursion but we didn't get 'cabin fever' being on site for two weeks, it was the best holiday we've had and we can't wait to go back again!

Quick Draw System
This new system will NOT be implemented at Duck Creek during the next duck season. However, it may indirectly affect the area, as people who like the Quick Draw system may be drawn to it and some who don't may shift to areas like Duck Creek that have a more traditional draw system. The Department wants to hear your suggestions, and we welcome your comments. Remember that the administrators of this blog review all comments before posting them. We will post all comments (positive or negative) as long as they are clean and not attacking other individuals on the blog. Please help us keep the discussion about this topic as civil as possible.
MDC to test Quick Draw system at three wetland areas
The online system will let more people enjoy guaranteed
waterfowl hunting while maintaining the "poor line."
JEFFERSON CITY–Missouri hunters will take part in a pilot program this fall to make waterfowl hunting at state-owned wetland areas less of a gamble.
The Missouri Department of Conservation will test an online drawing system called Quick Draw. The system is intended to change the way daily drawings are conducted to assign waterfowl hunting opportunities at state wetland areas. The new system still will include a pre-draw portion (Quick Draw) and a daily drawing for remaining open slots.
The agency will test Quick Draw at Eagle Bluffs, Grand Pass and Otter Slough conservation areas to determine whether the online system enhances convenience and hunter participation. Depending on how well it works, the system might be modified and expanded to other state-managed wetland areas in future years.
During this year's trial run, Missouri residents will enter online drawings for hunting slots twice a week instead of having to go to the three conservation areas for the daily draw. Hunters entering the drawing through Quick Draw can apply to hunt at one area per day. The system will not limit the number of days for which hunters can apply, or the number of days they can hunt if they are drawn.
A drawing on Monday of each week will assign hunting slots for the following Friday through Monday. A drawing each Thursday will assign slots for the following Tuesday through Thursday. The Quick Draw system will accept applications a few days prior to each drawing.
The online drawings will assign 80 percent of hunting slots each day. The remaining 20 percent of slots will be assigned in a drawing at each wetland area

I'm sitting in my living room with my right leg propped up and an ice pack on my hip. Fortunately nothing's broken, just bruised. All because I did something really dumb this morning:
My husband adjusted the bike seat for me (cause it was too low yesterday). He went out to the garage to get something and while he was there, I decided to just hop up on the bike (with the kickstand on) to make sure the seat height was correct.
And somehow got my feet tangled up in the frame and THUD! Fell off onto my right side. This was on the CONCRETE patio so OUCH!!
And most embarrassing of all - I was clad only in my nightie !
No trip to the Post Office for me today - promised hubby I'd rest till he gets home, just in case!
Nothing like a really dumb, embarrassing injury to start your weekend right!

DENVER (AP) -- The price of a medical marijuana license in Colorado has been lowered more than half.
The state Board of Health voted unanimously Wednesday to lower the fee from $90 a year to $35 a year beginning Jan. 1. Already the $90 fee is lower than when Colorado first authorized medical marijuana a decade ago, when the fee was $140.
The annual fee was lowered because it's sufficient to cover administrative costs.
Board of Health spokesman Mark Salley says the number of medical marijuana patients in Colorado has dropped dramatically this year. The number dropped more than 20 percent -- to about 103,000 -- between June 30 and Sept. 30. The explanation may be tougher limits on medical marijuana passed by the Legislature.

Freedom is an ideology,
Monarchies and Democracies are nothing more than types of Governments.
The people living in the Kingdoms of Sweden, Norway and England have more freedom than,
the people living in the Democracies of Iran, North Korea, and Cuba.
Democracy no more guarantees Freedom,
Monarchies guarantee Totalitarianism.
Totalitarian Dictators like Adolph Hitler and Mussolini were Democratically elected.

Those who trivialize the prohibitions found in the Consitution are, in effect,
demanding that govenrmnet disregard that contract.
The Federal government is forbidden to make any law pertaining to an establishment of religion. Has that stopped the federal government from meddling in religion? Hardly! An army was sent to Utah territory to enforce federal government beliefs about religion on the Mormon settlers. The FBI destroyed the Branch Dividian church when that church would not accept the federal government's breach of the 1st Amendment. Even the church headed by Jeffs has had its assets seized by the government in an attempt to force it to change its doctrine and covenants. No matter what we may believe personally about any of those establishments of religion, the one sure fact is that the federal government must stay out of their affairs.
Is it any wonder that Egypt, which has no prohibition against government making laws for or against religion, would be unable to function as a democracy?

"....Egypt's military despotism may be less dangerous than Morsi's
because it lacks what Morsi's had, a democratic coloration, however
superficial and evanescent."
That bleak assessment doesn't offer much hope for the future. I never expect optimism from George Will but when he talks like he thinks Egyptian return to rule by the Pharaohs might be something to consider, it might be time for him to retire.

He's right. Democracy doesn't guarantee Freedom. It only
guarantees you will have a choice. But MANY democratic societies have chosen
unwisely. Hitler was democratically elected. Many people with democracy have
chosen to not be free.
Egypt's first attempt is a good example.
Afghanistan is another example.
Yesterday I was watching a video of Obama supporters signing a petition they were told was a petition to repeal the US Bill Of Rights. That's an example of people with democratic rights voting to give them away. These people were being tricked... but if it were real... they would have voted to do away with our Bill of Rights! Just because the person doing the petition said Obama wanted it!
We should not be smug in our American tradition of freedom and democracy. Our freedom could be gone with one vote IF we are not vigilant in protecting our rights and our freedom.
Some people would vote your rights away for political expediency (2nd amendment is inconvenient, parts of the 1st amendment "old fashioned" and hard to manage, etc, how many people are trying to slowly do away with our rights every day)? It happens!

ThereYouGoAgain picked up on the significance of this quote from the article:
"Theologized politics, wherein compromise is apostasy, points toward George Orwell's vision of totalitarianism — 'a boot stamping on a human face — forever.'"
This seems to be an apt description of the political condition in a certain Intermountain West state, where a super-majority of the politicians (and likely a super-majority of the voters) equate a certain political party's ideology with a certain (regionally) predominant theology.
I don't have a problem with either that party (some of my best friends are . . . well, you get the point), or that theology (I am a member in good standing). I do, however, have a problem with the notion that political compromise is, literally, apostasy – and unnecessary when one is in the super-majority; which leads to another significant quote from the article:
"The idea that the strong have a right to unfettered rule if their strength is numerical is just the barbarism of 'might makes right' prettified by initial adherence to democratic forms."
Again, descriptive of the political condition in a certain Intermountain West state . . .

SG in SLC.
Who said, "political compromise is, literally, apostasy"?
I haven't seen anybody here say it.
I haven't heard anybody say it (except you).
Makes a great strawman argument though IF you can frame your opponent as saying something stupid (even though nobody said it).
Let's stick to what people have ACTUALLY said, not what you THINK they would say... would that be OK?

While nobody has overtly stated that "political compromise is, literally, apostasy" in this comment thread (at least, not yet), there have been plenty of times where the NOTION (idea, concept; I said in my original post that it was a "notion", as opposed to a verbatim statement) of political compromise as apostasy has been strongly implied in other comment threads here.
I will look for an example to cite; but honestly, I'm not going to spend a lot of time searching, as my time is more valuable to me than that.

Democracy is little more than mob rule. A republic, with defined rights for individuals and courts to protect them, is what they should seek.

Democracy, when conducted under the protection of a Constitution, is not mob
rule. The Constitution defines what is allowed to happen and what is not
allowed to happen. Here in America, if 99% of the people wanted to prohibit
religious worship, their voice would have absolutely no impact because religion
is a guaranteed freedom protected by the Constitution.
There are many times when Constitutions are ignored. The State of California allows its State Constitution to be modified as a ballot item. It requires a simple majority of voters to make that change. The people of California voted. The vote required a change in their State's Constitution. The losers went running to a federal court (which had no business interfering in the business of the State's Constitution) and had the will of the majority reversed. Laws were in place. Laws were followed. Poor losers rejected the rule of law.
Egypt needs to do its homework. It can't rely on Hilary Clinton for direction nor can it rely on Barack Obama. Egypt is a sovereign state. It is independent of Washington and the wishes of Washington.
They need a Constitution written by the people.

"Lincoln understood that unless majority rule is circumscribed by the
superior claims of natural rights, majority rule is merely the doctrine of
"might makes right" adapted to the age of mass participation in
Remember when the interrogators of Clarence Thomas asked him about his views on "natural rights"? The point of the interrogators was to determine if he thought our individual rights are, as the Declaration of Independence asserts, unalienably endowed by our Creator. Or, as many of the interrogators believed, merely the temporary and expediently malleable "rights" endowed by whomever happened to be interpreting an "evolving" Constitution (as oxymoronic as that seems).
Like the founders, I hold to the belief that the government derives its rights to govern FROM the governed. And that the "governed" is comprised of **individuals** whose rights are, indeed, intrinsic and unalienable. And, that regardless of whatever form of government happens to be in place at any given time, the ultimate power is **always** with the people. The real trick is to make that power work well. We've done pretty good for almost 250 years, but it will always be a battle against tyranny.
Down with Obamacare!!

I have come into posession of a Flandria. From what the bike shop tech told me he thinks that the bike was built in the 70's. It is just like new and is a pleasure to ride. When I got it there even was the original speedometer/odometer on the bars that still worked, The odometer showed that the bike had only been on the road for 80 miles. I wonder sometime if I should even be riding it or just looking at it.
Now for the question...Does anyone know if this bike was really manufactured in the 70's?...Flandria until recently stopped manufacturing 20 years ago so it is at the least 20 years old but the 70's?
It looks like it came right out of the show room.
Thanks....My name is Dave and I am new to the forum. This is my first post and I live in Williamsburg,Virginia...U.S.A.

Biographical Sketch of J.H. Reed
John H. Reed
Born 1823
Died 1884
Jackson County delegate
John H. Reed was born 1823 in Pennsylvania. He lived in St. Louis, Missouri and practiced law prior to heading west to Oregon in 1855.
Reed was elected to represented Jackson County at the constitutional convention. He served on the Committee on Executive Department and the Committee on Bill of Rights. At one point in the convention an amendment was proposed to limit the amount of time each delegate could speak. Reed rose and gave a "witty, humorous, and sarcastic speech, which made him a favorite of the convention." He was absent at the time of the final vote on the constitution.
In the 1860s Reed went to Nevada and was involved in some of the well-known mining cases there. He then returned to Oregon and opened a law practice in Portland. In John McBride's published recollections of the convention he described Reed as "a great joker, he was inclined to the convivial side of things, and was so seldom serious that I think his ability was often misrated. He made a useful member of the convention and was a man who once known was never forgotten."

Dr. Hoff
Dr. Hoff has worked in high profile practices throughout his career. Most recently he worked with an internationally known surgeon in a Beverly Hills LASIK center. The highly technical nature of the practice provided a platform for him to hone his clinical skills to their current level.
Dr. Hoff has lived in the beach community for almost 20 years and has watched, with interest, the evolution of Abbot Kinney as a retail and restaurant destination for many years. Recognizing the opportunity for his services on the street the time seemed perfect to combine his clinical interests and style acumen into one destination; Hoff Optometry & Eyewear.

Salivary Flow Rate:
-Time patient chewing paraffin for 5 minutes expectorating periodically into a measuring container.
-Measure the saliva sample and calculate flow rate on a ml/minute basis.
-At less than 0.7 ml/min patient is at risk, while 1.0 ml/min or greater is considered normal.
-Accuracy is good. Salivary flow and Buffer capacity tests may be the only salivary indicators which may aid in determining caries risk.

White-bearded antshrike (Biatas nigropectus)
|Biatas (1)
|Length: 17 - 18 cm (2)
Classified as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List (1).
The white-bearded antshrike is a distinctive yet secretive bird, thought to be one of the rarest endemic avian species within its range (3). The male white-bearded antshrike is a rich reddish-brown, olive to buff below, with a black cap (2) (3) (4), and a crest which is raised when the bird is excited (5). When the crest is down, the head looks distinctly flattened (6). The lower throat and neck are black and, as the name suggests, there is a white collar, more buffy on the back of the neck, which extends onto the cheeks and chin. A white line is also sometimes visible in front of and behind the eye (2) (3) (4). The beak is quite stout (3) and, unusually for an antshrike, is only moderately hooked (6).
The female white-bearded antshrike is even more secretive than the male (7), and differs in having a reddish-brown crown, a conspicuous white line above the eye, and no black on the throat or breast (2) (3) (4). The female is similar in appearance to the white-collared foliage-gleaner, with which this species often associates (3), but the latter lacks the reddish crown and wings, and has a different beak shape (4). The song of the white-bearded antshrike, given by both the male and female, is a series of six to twelve soft, fairly melodic, high-pitched kiu notes (2) (3) (4), but the species rarely sings spontaneously, and is most easily found using tape-playback (6) (7).
The white-bearded antshrike is endemic to southeastern Brazil and northeastern Argentina (Misiones Province) (2) (4).
This species inhabits bamboo in lowland and montane Atlantic Forest, up to elevations of 1,200 metres (2) (4). An extreme habitat specialist, the white-bearded antshrike appears to be restricted to areas where certain bamboos, mostly of the genera Merostachys or Guadua, are present (2) (4), and in Argentina it is a specialist on Guadua trinii bamboo (5) (6) (7) (8). It is found mainly in openings and along edges where the bamboo thicket is most extensive and relatively tall (3) (4) (7).
The white-bearded antshrike is not frequently seen in the wild, and is difficult to observe, remaining hidden in the bamboo canopy and not often vocalising (3) (4). Aspects of its biology are therefore not well known. Breeding is thought to occur from October to January (2) (4), and the nest is probably a bowl-like platform, built from dead bamboo leaves and supported by bamboo stems (2). The diet is not well known, but includes larvae from inside bamboo stems (9), ants, spiders, and small seeds (2), with individuals or pairs foraging in dense bamboo stands at up to 10 metres above the ground (2), or occasionally at up to 20 metres (10). Frequent sallies may be made from a perch to glean prey from the undersides of leaves or stems, or prey may be taken directly from adjacent vegetation (2). The white-bearded antshrike is often seen in mixed-species flocks (2), particularly in the company of white-collared foliage-gleaners (Anabazenops fuscus) (3).
Although the white-bearded antshrike is thought to be naturally quite rare, its small remaining populations are fragmented and undergoing a rapid decline (3) (4). The main threat is habitat loss, the Atlantic Forest having suffered rapid destruction and fragmentation as a result of agricultural conversion, urbanisation, mining, plantations and road building (3) (4) (11) (12). Less than ten percent of the original forest may remain (11). To compound this problem, the white-bearded antshrike's reliance on just a few species of bamboo makes it particularly vulnerable, as the bamboos undergo periodic local die-offs (2) (4) (13). It is not known how the species responds to these bamboo cycles, but strong population fluctuations are likely, making the white-bearded antshrike even more vulnerable to extinction (8). In Argentina, the next widespread die-off event of Guadua trinii is expected in 2018 (13), and it is not known how the population of white-bearded antshrike will respond to this sudden widespread loss of habitat (8).
The white-bearded antshrike occurs in a number of protected areas, including Itatiaia, Serra dos Órgãos and Iguaçu National Parks, Serro do Mar and Desengano State Parks in Brazil (2) (4) (14), and Iguazú National Park (15) (16), Yaboty Biosphere Reserve (17), Piñalito Provincial Park (18), San Jorge Private Reserve, and Cruce Caballero and Urugua-í Provincial Parks (7) in Argentina. However, in Argentina, most records are outside protected areas, especially on farms (5) (7). The Atlantic Forest is considered a Biodiversity Hotspot, and several major conservation initiatives are underway in the region (11). Unfortunately, conservation strategies for the Atlantic Forest have rarely considered bamboo habitat, meaning that this small, rare bird could easily be overlooked in current conservation policies (4). Although large reserves with extensive bamboo are important, more attention needs to be paid to conservation of bamboo habitat outside of traditional parks (5).
Proposed conservation measures for the white-bearded antshrike include more extensive population surveys, studies into its dependence on bamboo and its response to bamboo die-off events, assessment of its bamboo habitat, protection of key areas and environmental education (2) (4) (8). Proyecto Selva de Pino Paraná is already working to raise local awareness of the species around San Pedro and Tobuna in Misiones, Argentina (5).

On April 18, a new Internet policy was implemented at the library. Filters were applied to the two computers in the children's area and 2 of the 5 computers in the adult area. The protection included:
-Patrons under age 18 will need written parental permission to use unfiltered computers
-Chat rooms were blocked
-Access to browser's history were disabled
-Adult computers were labeled filtered or unfiltered
-Privacy screen were available. If complaints occurred, librarians could ask patrons to hide the computer display using the screen.
-Children with written consent could use the librarian's unfiltered computers in the children's section87
The bookmobile made weekly Monday "Hispanic Night" trips to predominately Hispanic neighborhoods. Inside the vehicle, children were excited to find bookshelves filled with Spanish and bilingual books. Also offered were ESL texts "for those studying for citizenship". The bookmobile was staffed with two or three Spanish-speaking librarians to assist the patrons.88
The Library Board sent a letter of intent offering $2.7 million to the school board for the vacant Brainerd Building. Though the building was not going to be closed until 2003, the board wanted the letter to act as a reminder of their interest in the property. However, the school board reaffirmed that they were keeping the property for use by the high school's athletic teams.89
Librarians have fun, too!
The librarians formed a drill team that performed in the annual Libertyville Days parade. "Working in pairs; eight library employees rolled book carts down the parade route. In matching T-shirts, caps and gloves, they performed complex maneuvers." For a peek at the action, check out the video below.94

Makenna and Charles
this wiki
Makenna and Charles are a couple of nomadic vampires. They first appear in Breaking Dawn when they are brought by the Volturi to witness against the Cullens.
Makenna is the descendant of a Maltese family with a unique link to vampirism. Some members in her family have become vampires throughout the millenia to protect and provide for the family. Makenna was one of the chosen ones. She looked forward to her destiny until she met Charles in Barcelona.
Charles was born in the early 20th century of Denmark. In his early twenties, he moved to Barcelona to study law. There, he met and fell in love with a Maltese woman named Makenna.
Makenna and Charles met when he was a law student in Barcelona and fell in love. Makenna's ancestor, Luca, told her that she could abandon her destiny of becoming a vampire if she wanted a normal life with Charles. However, she still chose immortality. Before she left, she promised Charles that she will return. Makenna waited for her newborn year to pass while Charles waited for her return.
After she left her newborn state behind, she found Charles again, who was still waiting for her. After telling him about life as a vampire, Charles decided to join her. They waited 3 years for Makenna to practice her self-control to avoid killing him by accident.
After he was successfully changed and found out about his power of lie detection, they lived a nomadic lifestyle together, but Makenna still visited her family often.
Breaking Dawn
Makenna and Charles are invited by Renata to join the confrontation between the Volturi and the Cullen family and their witnesses in Breaking Dawn. When Charles 'confirms' that the Cullens are innocent, he and Makenna take their leave.

School leaders want students to know they have a place to turn.
A 15-year-old Lincoln High School student claims she was sexually assaulted in a closet of the school's gym last week. Tuesday Lincoln's principal Martha Bunch says this type of incident is extremely rare on campus, but if it happens students should tell someone they trust.
"We have five counselors at our school, and we always encourage students anytime they have a concern to come on to an adult and let us know, because we will help them, in anyway that we can," says Martha Bunch.
John Paschal is a child and family therapist who's handled many sexual assault cases. He says if an assault is not appropriately dealt with it could lead to depression, anxiety and problems with future relationships.
"These events are going to happen, they have happened, they're going to continue to happen, the important thing is get help from the people they know and trust, they're are lots of people who are available now," says Paschal.
Paschal further says assault victims should turn to counselors, teachers and especially parents.
Sixteen-year-old Gregory Ramos has been accused in the crime. He's being held at the Juvenile Assessment Center.

More flawless covers, courtesy of BBC Radio 1's "Live Lounge" and Angel Haze.
Just when you thought BBC Radio 1's "Live Lounge" cover sessions couldn't getting any more amazing (see Jason Derulo's rendition of "Royals" and Miley Cyrus' twanged-out take on "Summertime Sadness"), they did. Their latest cover artist in residence? Angel Haze, who puts an eerie yet Hi-NRG spin on Beyoncé's "Drunk In Love."
Lit only by some ghostly neon violet lighting, Angel seamlessly switches from Bey's sung lyrics to Jay Z's rapped ones without ever missing a beat.
Much like the pop-music power couple's Grammy Awards performance, there's plenty of #SURFBOARDT to go around in this cover. And #SKATEBOARDT. And #TOMFORDT. OK, that kinda won't make sense if you haven't watched the clip. Let's just say that the "Echelon (It's My Way)" rapper altered our favorite "Drunk In Love" lyric, yet somehow we're not mad about it.
Speaking of "Tom Ford," though, somewhere around the 3:20 mark, Angel's band starts sampling some of the 8-bit, "Super Mario Bros."-esque percussion from the Magna Carta… Holy Grail track. The subtle mashup makes perfect sense, and we're sure the entire Carter-Knowles fam approves.

Local audiences have seen married actors Jonathan and Rochelle Schrader appearing opposite one another numerous times over the years: in Opera@Augustana's The Pirates of Penzance and The Mikado; in the former Green Room Theatre's Into the Woods; and in Quad City Music Guild's Babes in Toyland.
But with Countryside Community Theatre's presentation of The King & I, running June 22 through 30 at Eldridge's North Scott High School, patrons will see the Schraders interact in a way that, on-stage at least, they never have before.
"This is the first time we've actually gotten to play semi-romantically together," says Jonathan, who enacts the titular, short-tempered King of Siam – a role made legendary by Yul Brynner – opposite his wife's stalwart schoolteacher Anna. "I've played her father several times, and I tried to kill her in Babes in Toyland, but ... ."
