Stocks Drop Worldwide as Oil, Dollar Surge After Egypt Protests
Stocks worldwide plunged the most since November, crude oil posted the biggest jump since 2009 and the dollar rose versus the euro after protesters posed the biggest challenge to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule. Egypt's dollar bonds sank, pushing yields to a record.
The MSCI All-Country World Index of stocks in 45 countries lost 1.4 percent at 4:59 p.m. New York time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.4 percent to 11,823.70, preventing its longest weekly winning streak since 1995. Oil futures increased 4.3 percent to $89.34. The dollar appreciated 0.9 percent to $1.3611. Yields on Egypt bonds due in 2020 surged 22 basis points to 6.51 percent. Gold futures jumped 1.7 percent, the most in 12 weeks.
Egyptian protesters clashed with police throughout the country and into the night, defying a curfew and setting fire to buildings. Mubarak imposed the curfew after tens of thousands of marchers chanted "liberty" and "change." After U.S. markets closed, Mubarak said he asked the government to resign. The demonstrations offset data showing that growth in U.S. gross domestic product accelerated in the fourth quarter.
"The unrest in Egypt has people concerned," said Mark Bronzo, who helps manage over $25 billion at Irvington, New York-based Security Global Investors. "When it comes to the Middle East, there's worries the unrest is going to spread. It has negative implications for the world."
Beating Estimates
The Dow had to close above 11,871.84 to post a ninth straight weekly gain. Before today, it had risen 1 percent this week, supported by higher-than-estimated earnings. More than 74 percent of the 183 companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index that reported quarterly earnings since Jan. 10 beat the average analyst projection, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Egypt overshadowed evidence the U.S. economy, the world's biggest, is improving. GDP expanded at a 3.2 percent annual pace in the fourth quarter, up from 2.6 percent during the prior three months, as consumer spending climbed by the most in more than four years.
Investors who pushed the Dow above 12,000 for the first time since 2008 this week may be getting ahead of themselves. It surpassed that level the past two days. More U.S. stocks are trading above their 200-day average price than any time since April, when the Dow began a 14 percent slump. The cost to insure against S&P 500 losses with options has fallen to an almost three-year low.
Too Optimistic
The Dow may have surged too fast following its more than 2,000-point jump since August even as analysts forecast a third straight year of profit growth for the S&P 500, said James Investment Research Inc.'s Tom Mangan and BB&T Wealth Management's Walter "Bucky" Hellwig. Mangan and BGC Partners LP's Michael Purves see signs investors are too optimistic about the next few months.
Shares of Ford Motor Co. plunged 13 percent as the automaker said profit slid 79 percent. Amazon.com Inc. declined 7.2 percent after saying earnings may miss analysts' projections. The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, which measures the cost of insurance against losses in U.S. stocks, jumped 24 percent, the most since May.
The NYSE Arca Airline Index lost 4.3 percent after oil jumped. Any disruption to Middle East oil supplies "could actually bring real harm," U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu said on a conference call.
The Suez Canal, which connects the Mediterranean and Red Seas, is located in Egypt. One million to 1.6 million barrels a day of oil and refined products moved north to Europe and other developed economies in 2008 and 2009, according to the Energy Information Administration, the statistical arm of the U.S. Energy Department.
Windows Revenue
Microsoft Corp. had the biggest drop in the Dow, retreating 3.9 percent, after a shortfall in Windows revenue raised concerns about demand. The slump drove the Nasdaq Composite Index to a 2.5 percent decline, the most since August. The S&P 500 fell 1.8 percent, the biggest decrease since Aug. 11.
The dollar and Swiss franc advanced the most in three weeks against the euro as a day of clashes in Egypt between police and protesters spurred demand for the safety of the currencies. Egypt's pound traded at an almost six-year low against the American currency. Fitch Ratings revised the Middle East nation's outlook to negative.
The Swiss franc advanced 1.4 percent to 1.2806 per euro. Egypt's currency traded at 5.8575 per dollar after touching the weakest level since January 2005 yesterday. Turkey's lira sank as much as 2.1 percent to 1.6171 per dollar, falling along with the currencies of other nations near Egypt. Israel's shekel declined as much as 1.8 percent to 3.7141.
Treasuries rose, pushing two-year yields to a seven-week low of 0.54 percent. Yields on 30-year bonds had reached a nine-month high of 4.64 percent following the report showing U.S. GDP growth accelerated.
Gold futures for April delivery rose 1.7 percent to $1,341.70 an ounce, the biggest gain since Nov. 4. The metal climbed to a record $1,432.50 on Dec. 7.

Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA)
What is it?
What has the Army done?
Defense Coordinating Officers and Defense Coordinating Elements (DCO/Es) serve as DoD first responders to a natural or man-made disaster. The Army maintains a permanently assigned DCO/E in each Federal Emergency Management Agency region to plan, coordinate, and integrate DSCA with local, state, tribal, and federal agencies. During 2008, a DCO/E representative deployed to the National Interagency Fire Center during wild-land firefighting operations. The DCO/E teams deployed to areas throughout the United States to support disaster response and recovery efforts, to include severe weather including tornados in Indiana, and Oklahoma; flooding in the Midwest (Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas; wildland fire fighting in California, Colorado, and North Carolina. Finally, DCO/Es deployed and supported hurricane response operations throughout the hurricane season.
In 2008, the Army provided support to national security special events and public recognition events including: the President's State of the Union Address (January), Super Bowl XLII (February ), Pope Benedict XVI's first visit to the U.S. (April), Public Service Recognition Week (May), the Joint Service Open House (May), the Democratic National Convention (August), the Republican National Convention (September), the United Nations General Assembly (September-October), and the G20 Financial Summit (November).
The President authorized the Secretary of Defense to provide DoD capabilities, primarily state National Guard, to support the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Under Operation Jump Start, approximately 1,884 Army National Guardsmen assisted the U.S. Border Patrol in this crucial homeland defense mission across four Southwest border states (California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas). During 2008, operational successes supported by the National Guard included aid in more than 176,600 alien apprehensions, the seizure of 316,397 pounds of marijuana, and 5,224 pounds of cocaine. Additionally, the National Guard assisted in the rescue of 100 aliens and the seizure of more than $80,698 in currency.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
Why is this important to the Army?

Wilderness: Starfish, Crown of Thorns, and Sea Star Punctures
In this article
Starfish, Crown of Thorns, and Sea Star Punctures Overview
Starfish, crown of thorns, and sea stars live throughout the subtropics and tropics. They are bottom dwellers, so any contact with a diver is accidental. Injury occurs from the spine and the venom injected from the spine. Crown of thorns have as many as 13-16 short, sharp spines that are up to 6 cm (over 2 inches) long.
Starfish, Crown of Thorns, and Sea Star Punctures Symptoms
Puncture symptoms include:
- Severe pain
- Itching
- Swelling
- Heat
- Redness
More severe reactions include:
Starfish, Crown of Thorns, and Sea Star Punctures Treatment
If medical attention is not readily available, use the following guidelines for treating a puncture wound:
- Immerse the affected area in water as hot as the person can tolerate for 30-90 minutes. Repeat as necessary to control pain.
- Use tweezers to remove any spines in the wound because symptoms may not go away until all spines have been removed.
- Scrub the wound with soap and water followed by extensive rinsing with salt water.
- Do not cover the wound with tape.
- Apply hydrocortisone cream 2-3 times daily as needed for itching. Discontinue immediately if any signs of infection appear.
- Apply topical antibiotic ointment (Bacitracin) 3 times per day if signs of infection, such as pus, redness, or heat, are present.
Oral antibiotics are usually recommended for infection.
- Continue antibiotics for at least 5 days after all signs of infection have cleared.
- Check for drug allergy prior to starting any antibiotic.
- When outside, use sunscreen and wear protective clothing, such as a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and a wide-brimmed hat, while taking these antibiotics because certain antibiotics may cause sensitivity to the sun.
Pain may be relieved with 1-2 acetaminophen (Tylenol) tablets every 4 hours or 1-2 ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) tablets every 6-8 hours.
When to Seek Medical Care
Seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Consult a doctor about treatment with available medications.

Warner Bros. Academy Awards Animation Collection - 15 Winners/26 Nominees based on 0 ratings. 1 reviews.
A must for any animation collector since every short was nominated for an Oscar. The great thing is the variety: Bugs, Tom and Jerry, Sinbad, Max' Superman, Droopy, 3 Christmas tales(one with a creepy WWII doomsday undertone) etc. All are presented in their original theatrical aspect ratio and beautifully restored. After seeing this, I am particularly intrigued with Sinbad and the amazing 3D look of it. The only shame is that it hasn't been released on Blu-ray as a showcase set for Warner Bros library.

Bunch Brings Extensive Operations and Cost-Management Expertise to Role
TheStreet highlights 3 stocks pushing the consumer goods sector lower today.
These dividend stocks look ready to boost their payouts to shareholders.
Jim Cramer talks about the what Bill Ackman needs and how to figure out Herbalife's correct price.
Ackman needs Mondelez to make another bid for Hershey because he's playing for pride, says Cramer.
Amid lots of consolidation in the consumer products space, a buyout of the cereal maker have persisted.
He needs Mondelez to make a deal -- any deal.
All of these add up to a level of insecurity on the part of sidelined money.
Cramer shares his views on how the market rallying is good news for some stocks. Facebook, Google and Citigroup are among the stocks discussed.
Bank stocks react to vicious expected number cuts, but what if they're not so bad?
Despite its strong cash position and the deal frenzy in the industry, don't expect PepsiCo to make any hasty decisions on the acquisition front, says Hugh Johnston.
There are at least two reasons why Danone is plunking down billions to buy organic food maker WhiteWave.
Mondelez's (MDLZ) unsolicited offer to buy Hershey (HSY) will likely fail, according to Susquehanna.
Valeant Pharmaceuticals is not letting up on Ackman's fund, dragging 2016 losses down by more than 20%.
Valeant Pharmaceuticals is not letting up on Ackman's fund, dragging 2016 losses down by more than 20%.
TheStreet's Bruce Kamich says these S&P 500 best-performing stocks could see price declines ahead.
This takeover bid is a desperate attempt by MDLZ management to cover up its poor top-line performance.
Brexit and Amazon are more important than oil prices, and keep an eye on takeover targets.
Cramer shares his views on how the food group is self-consuming and why Citigroup has the best value. WhiteWave, Deutsche Bank and PepsiCo are among the stocks discussed.
Cramer shares his views on why Constellation Brands' stock is up, and discusses why oil has eclipsed Brexit. Starz, General Mills and Hershey are among the stocks discussed.
Investors who battled through the Brexit market volatility late this month and owned these 10 S&P 500 stocks enjoyed big profits in June.
Despite all the doom and gloom, this week turned out to be the best so far this year, Cramer says.
It's been a wild week for stocks. Wall Street began the week in sharp decline after the shock of the pro-Brexit vote, before snapping into recovery mode.
The candy giant made a bid for its rival of $107 a share in cash and stock, but the offer was promptly rejected by Hershey's board.
TheStreet's Action Alerts PLUS Portfolio Manager Jim Cramer says pantry companies aren't going to grow and need to make an acquisition.

Market Economics; Chicken Shows the Difficulty of Exporting Food to India
By CELIA W. DUGGER
Published: June 14, 2000
NEW DELHI, June 13— Americans love succulent chicken breasts dressed up in every conceivable way, while Indians relish a savory tandoori drumstick brandished easily in one hand or a spicy chicken curry enriched by the marrow of the leg bone.
For Perdue Farms, America's No. 3 chicken producer, this divergence in culinary tastes seemed a heaven-sent opportunity. While selling white meat at a premium to Americans, it could ship inexpensive, unwanted dark meat to India.
So as India prepared to lift its longstanding ban on chicken imports next year in a deal worked out with American trade negotiators, Perdue began developing a strategy to sell leg portions in this potentially huge new market, home to as many as 150 million middle-class customers.
But India does not have a reputation as one of the world's most protected economies for nothing. There is still a deep ambivalence here about foreign investment and trade, and India has taken a decidedly cautious approach to globalization. Over the last decade, it has let in ever more foreign goods and lowered barriers to trade, cutting average tariffs from 128 percent to 40 percent. Still, India has some of the world's highest tariffs.
Sure enough, as the domestic chicken industry considered the fearsome prospect of cheap imported dark meat, its lobbyists began to protest. The government hastily agreed last month to raise the tariff on chicken legs from 35 percent to 100 percent -- a year before the import limitations were to be removed.
''Without the tariff, we would be in a big soup,'' said Anuradha Desai, chairwoman of the Venkateshwara Hatcheries, based in Pune in west-central India, and the National Egg Coordination Committee.
The higher tariff, if it sticks, would be a big setback for Perdue, for this is a market to make an agribusiness giant salivate. The average Indian eats only 2 pounds of chicken a year, compared with more than 90 pounds for an American. Lower prices could increase consumption exponentially. A 100 percent tariff would sharply curtail Perdue's ability to compete on price in India.
Chicken is one of more than 1,400 goods that India is taking off its restricted list this year and next and allowing to be freely imported, after tariffs are paid.
Among those products is a cornucopia fit for a king's table. Cooks will no longer have to scrounge on the black market for foie gras and caviar, chardonnay and cordials. And the rich will be able to serve these treats by the light of foreign-dipped candles on imported yachts.
But more threatening to Indian industrialists, farmers and fishermen is the free importation of more plebeian items: coffee and tea, cardamom and betel nut, chewing tobacco and motor scooters, textiles and garments, mackerel and, of course, chicken legs.
And deep in the 10-page list of goods to be freely imported is one that would almost surely horrify India's independence leader, Gandhi, if he were alive. It is item No. 248, cotton that is ''unbleached, plain weave.'' Gandhi made homespun cotton a symbol of India's economic independence from foreign domination, exhorting villagers to spin their own cloth rather than buy it from Britain, India's colonial ruler.
India began taking steps to open its economy several years ago. In 1997, India told the World Trade Organization that it planned to phase out its list of restricted goods over nine years, which was whittled to six years at the insistence of powerful trading partners. But the United States challenged that pace and won in 1999. India subsequently agreed to lift the restrictions by next April.
In actual purchasing power, India is now the world's fourth-largest economy, according to the World Bank. Its volume of exports and imports has grown substantially, but its share of global trade remains at just 0.6 percent, the same as it was more than 20 years ago.
Many Indians, from hard-line Hindu nationalists to Nehruvian socialists, believe India must shield its small producers, even at the expense of higher prices for consumers and lower-quality goods.
M. S. Swaminathan, a geneticist who played a pivotal role in the Green Revolution -- the development and use of high-yield strains of wheat and rice -- argues that free trade is unfair when mass-produced goods compete against goods made by the masses, particularly in a traditional agrarian society like India. Bankrupt farmers will not be able to buy food at any price. ''There is no level playing field,'' he said.
But many economists, including those at the World Bank, argue that India should quicken its integration with the global economy as the best path toward lower prices, economic growth and millions of new jobs. Countries in East and Southeast Asia that have moved quickly have had greater success in reducing poverty, they say.
Even some in India's chicken industry say that it is in the industry's long-term interest to become more globally competitive -- and perhaps, one day, become an exporter itself.
Kiran Khatri, whose farm is near Delhi, said he sometimes thinks to himself: ''If they can dump drumsticks here, why can't we dump breasts in the American market? For that we'll have to raise our quality. There are lots of diseases.''
The chicken industries of northern India and the United States seem to come from different centuries.

It's really not about who's richer. By that logic, if we just gave up all our wealth brought to us by democracy and "evil" capitalism, we could be just as destitute and hungry as them. I have to point out the similarity I see to survivors' guilt in what you are implying.
The only solution I ever hear put forth for addressing economic inequality is to reduce all of us to a common baseline through taxation, regulation, and sending our wealth elsewhere. Maybe what we really need to focus on is sharing our ideals rather than striving to share their pain. Some of the thoughts mentioned previously in this thread on colonialism were very thought-provoking.
It is interesting, that if the US is only 3 times more wealthy, how much more mileage we are getting out of our money here--and how much more equitable our system of government must be. I know I am more than 3 times better fed than the starving Africans portrayed on TV. And I have a TV to watch them on, in a waterproof house with climate control. I am not saying that to be insensitive, just that it does give some credibility to the idea of exporting American ideals. Call it imperialism if you must.

John Marinatto, who has been associated with the Big East since his days as a Providence graduate in 1979, will be announced Wednesday as the new commissioner of the conference, multiple sources told ESPN.com Tuesday night.
The Big East has scheduled an 11 a.m. ET teleconference "to make a significant announcement concerning the direction of the conference."
Marinatto is a current associate commissioner of the league and a former Providence sports information director and athletic director. He has been an assistant to outgoing commissioner Mike Tranghese since 2002.
Tranghese announced his retirement from the position in June 2008, effective at the end of the 2008-09 athletic calendar. Tranghese oversaw the tumultuous but ultimately successful transition of the league after Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College fled for the Atlantic Coast Conference and were replaced by Louisville, Cincinnati and South Florida in football, plus DePaul and Marquette in basketball.
The transition saw the Big East survive a potentially devastating hit to its football prowess and evolve into a 16-team monster in basketball. The league is widely expected to be the most powerful in the nation in the upcoming basketball season.
The football portion of the Big East retained its BCS automatic bid and has upheld the honor by scoring BCS bowl victories in each of the past three years -- West Virginia in the 2006 Sugar Bowl and 2008 Fiesta Bowl, and Louisville in the 2007 Orange Bowl.
Among those strongly considered for the job was former Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

* Says some 59 parties showed interest during period
* "Go shop" period was 85 days
SAN FRANCISCO Feb 16 J Crew Group Inc JCG.N, which received a $2.86 billion private equity buyout offer, said on Wednesday it had received no alternative acquisition proposals during an 85-day "go shop" process that ended Tuesday.
The apparel retailer "engaged in an active and extensive solicitation of 59 potentially interested parties," which resulted in four parties who negotiated and entered into confidentiality agreements. These did not result in a proposal, however.
Sources previously told Reuters that Sears Holdings Corp (SHLD.O), Urban Outfitters Inc (URBN.O) and at least two other private equity firms had been looking at J Crew's books. [ID:nN16111690]
The "go shop" period to solicit competing offers originally expired on Jan 15 but was extended until Feb 15 amid pressure from shareholders.
In November, the upscale apparel retailer announced that TPG Group and Leonard Green & Partners LP had agreed to buy the company for $43.50 a share, at a premium of about 15 percent.
The announcement spurred a flood of shareholder lawsuits protesting the share price and asserting that J Crew Chief Executive Millard Drexler breached his fiduciary duties to investors.
Drexler had been in discussions with the private equity firms for nearly seven weeks without informing the company's board, raising questions about corporate governance. [ID:nN07264425] (Reporting by Alexandria Sage; Editing by Bernard Orr)

The disadvantages section[edit]
I removed this, because it is demonstrably false:
- The cloop kernel module only allows one compressed image at a time to be active.
Although you are only allowed to specify one compressed image on the insmod cloop.o command line, you can use the losetup utility to activate multiple compressed images.
I'm not sure how true the remaining two entries are.
Also, is there any reason to have a "disadvantages" section but no "advantages" section? It seems kind of out-of-place. 220.127.116.11 17:17, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
New version of software and new file format?[edit]
The description on this page, information on the linked pages, and information that can be found by search the web seems to describe an old version of cloop. For example, cloop 2.04-118 that comes with OpenSuSE 10.3 behaves very different:
- multiple images can be allowed by creating additional device nodes (mknod /dev/cloop$I b 240 $I, I=0,...,7, and losetup, see also discussion section above)
- create_compressed_fs does not hold the compressed data in (virtual) memory if the image is a regular file. Instead, it starts outputting data immediately (tested with a 55 GB image file). This also means that the file format must have changed since the index cannot be written at the start of the output anymore (stdout is not seekable). Jowagner (talk • contribs) 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Claimed slowness as disadvantage[edit]
The article says "The design of the cloop driver requires that compressed blocks be read whole from disk. This makes cloop access very slow when there are many small scattered reads"
In my own testing, cloop has consistently *sped up* operations on small reads. I can't reproduce the above claim at all. See my detailed results on: http://www-etud.iro.umontreal.ca/~jaegerch/div/cloop_performance_tests —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pflanze2 (talk • contribs) 18:59, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
I've added more testing, with a blocksize of 256KB (4 times the default), and can see some slowdown in one case when the CPU is artificially slowed down. I think you still need a fast disk to see the slowdown at all. Anyway the section still needs some rewording and a citation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pflanze2 (talk • contribs) 19:44, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello to all,
for the realization of the modules contacts I used the Contact Form 7.
As a setting for sending I installed WP-Mail-SMTP and configured :
- From Email : firstname.lastname@example.com
- From Name : nomesito.it
- Mailer : Send all WordPress emails via SMTP
- SMTP Host: [internal stmp service]
- SMTP Port : 25
- Encryption : No encryption
- Authentication : No: Do not use SMTP authentication.
I made a test using the form for this test and the email sent correctly.
I have configured my FORM of Contact Form 7 and everything is working correctly, because, as I entered is specified in the "To:" that in the "From" the same email as above, ie email@example.com
I tried, however, to allow multiple selection of the recipient by:
[ select * recipient
"Technical Support | email@example.com "
" Commercial | firstname.lastname@example.com "
"General | email@example.com "
" Administrative support | email@example.com "
and accordingly the fields :
- "TO:" -> [your recipient]
- "FROM:" -> [your-name] <[your-email]>
That does not work anymore.
As mentioned in several guidebooks, including here is said that the fields "To:" and "From:" to be hold the same address contained in the email configuration, it will not work.
I would like to avoid creating 4 contact blocks, you have any suggestions ?
The site will be published via my local server made with Wampserver .
Maybe instead of sending SMTP should use the class PHPMailer() ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Grape: 95% Shiraz and 5% Viognier
Characteristics: Marvellous Australian quality.
A handpicked Shiraz guarantees a cherry-red wine. Completed with a small amount of Voignier, this results in a beautiful wine. The potent flavour is enhanced by the aroma of ripe plums, herbs, coffee and chocolate.
A flavoursome suggestion
This potent wine goes well with lamb, wild game or a nice piece of meat.
About this wine
Australia is what we may call a 'young' country, but don't be mistaken because this wine was 'founded' in 1849, when the British Samuel Smith decided to go big and bought at least 30 acres of ground and planted his first grapes.
Samuel called his land 'Yalumba', that means so much as 'all the land around' in the Aboriginal language. Six generations onward and more than 160 year later, the Yalumba winery is the oldest wine company in Australia and has grown out to be one of the bigger names considering status and quality.

After months of equivocal statements about Agudath Israel's longstanding position that — with very limited exception — child sexual abuse allegations must first be investigated by rabbis, the Brooklyn district attorney has issued a clear warning to the haredi umbrella organization that its policy puts rabbis at risk of running afoul of the law.
According to a spokesman for Charles Hynes, "DA Hynes told Dovid Zwiebel [Agudah's executive vice president] that it was a mistake to advise someone with information about child abuse to first speak with a rabbi." In doing so, the spokesman, Jerry Schmetterer, continued, "Zwiebel … risks having the rabbi prosecuted for obstructing a law enforcement investigation."
When asked by The Jewish Week to clarify what someone should do if he or she had information about allegations — rather than "information" — about abuse, Schmetterer said the individual should "report [the allegations] to authorities for investigation."
James A. Cohen, associate professor of law and the director of the Trial Advocacy Program & External Affairs at Fordham University School of Law, concurs with the district attorney's position. "Encouraging delay in reporting a crime, particularly a crime against a child, is obstructing justice," Cohen told The Jewish Week.
Some believe that the Agudah's position in and of itself may constitute a crime, as Rabbi Zwiebel has made it clear that unless a person is a victim or a direct witness of sexual abuse, reporting allegations to the authorities without first seeking rabbinic counsel constitutes mesirah — a sin that was once punishable by death and today often results in threats, acts of intimidation and social ostracism.
According to Orthodox attorney and author Michael Lesher, "Under federal law, it is a crime to use the threat of force to interfere with someone's right to the benefits of state law, including the criminal justice system, if you make that threat because of the victim's religion. By invoking the language of mesirah — a religious offense that authorizes the use of deadly force against any Jew who 'informs' to the authorities — Agudah's stated policy amounts to a deliberate call for the use of force to stop a Jew, because he or she is a Jew, from going to police against a rabbi's instructions."
As such, Lesher told The Jewish Week, this "could make Agudah complicit in a civil rights crime any time an Orthodox Jew gets a threat for talking to the police when a rabbi told him not to." It's an "appalling step for any Jewish organization to take," he added.
In an interview published yesterday in the Forward, Rabbi Zwiebel continued to affirm the organization's position that most abuse allegations must first be vetted by rabbis, even when those allegations come before a mandated reporter.
(Indeed, just yesterday WCBS News reported that Hynes plans to back legislation making clergy mandated reporters. However, because Agudah's position requires even mandated reporters to consult with a rabbi before making a report, such a law would seem to have little effect on rabbis' behavior as they too, would presumably have to consult with other rabbis before reporting.)
According to the Forward, Rabbi Zwiebel defended Agudah's stance by noting that "having rabbis assess claims of abuse" was no different than the standard set for all mandated reporters, which "he characterized as a requirement for teachers and therapists to establish 'reasonable suspicion' before reporting a case to law enforcement under New York's mandatory reporting laws."
In an e-mail to The Jewish Week, Rabbi Zwiebel reiterated that the "threshold standard for reporting according to [rabbinic responsa] is similar, if not identical, to the requirement of NY law that a mandated reporter have 'reasonable cause to suspect' before reporting."
However, Rabbi Zwiebel appears to have mischaracterized the mandated reporting law in a way that would make it erroneously appear to conform to the Agudah's position on the issue.
New York State law does not in fact require the establishment of reasonable suspicion of abuse to trigger a report. Instead, the law says only that a report is mandated when there is reasonable cause to suspect abuse, something that is left up to the mandated reporter — who has typically received training in this area — to determine.
Indeed, according to the Administration for Children's Services' Web site, reasonable cause to suspect child abuse or maltreatment "is based on [the mandated reporter's] observations, professional training and experience."
Dr. Michael Salamon, a psychologist with expertise in treating victims of sexual abuse, told The Jewish Week that "mandated reporters are not required to determine whether or not an actual act of abuse has occurred, just that there is a suspicion."
"Professionals are trained to look for cues but even in the absence of specific indicators the law is clear — any suspicion triggers the mandate to report," he added.
Last Update:
Comment Guidelines
The Jewish Week feels comments create a valuable conversation and wants to feature your thoughts on our website. To make everyone feel welcome, we won't publish comments that are profane, irrelevant, promotional or make personal attacks.
When they were handing out "You're Jewish" certificates, I wasn't there. So my comment might not be welcome, but, or, if I may say for dramatic effect, BUT, I seem to sense some similarities with Korean communities transplanted to the USA, and Haredi communities, (beyond the fact that I'm an outsider in both worlds, I mean). However, if I say the wrong thing here, it could blow up in my face. So I'll just leave it at that.
Lana, a person can suspect abuse without there being any "reasonable cause to do so"; the law only requires reporting when there is "reasonable cause to suspect abuse".
If someone wants to speak to their Rabbi to help them determine if their suspicion is reasonable, it does not seem illegal for the either the potential reporter or Rabbi to do so; in fact, to deny the right to do so would seem to me to violate the bill of right and infringe on the person's right to practice his/her religion according to its laws.
I would even say that the wording of the law was intended to provide for this situation; they could always amend the law to require anyone with suspision to report without the suspision having to be reasonable.
Child predators depend on silence, so they can continue to sexually abuse kids and not get caught. And those who cover up their crimes need to be held accountable.
The victims of child sex abuse are given a life sentence of pain and suffering, they NEVER deserve to be re-abused in this manner.
Something to keep in mind- It is a crime to sexually abuse a child, and it is a crime to cover up these crimes against innocent kids.
Child predators are very cunning and manipulative. They know every trick on how to groom, threaten, lie, and put the fear of god into their victims and sometimes even their family members.
They also appear to do a lot of goods things, they can be very charismatic and you may think they would never harm a child. They have to be this way, in order to not get caught and to continue to abuse
Sexual predators are often powerful and well-loved. It would be comforting if those who preyed on the vulnerable were obvious social misfits whose appearance would somehow set off alarm bells and give us 'the willies' or 'the creeps.' They rarely do. Usually, predators are among the last people we would suspect of sexually violating others. At a party, the predator isn't some oddball sitting alone in a corner because others feel uncomfortable with him. Most often, the predator is the guy throwing the party.
We must overcome the dangerous myth that because someone is successful or warm or caring, he or she "couldn't have done that!
Also, we must stop thinking that because a man is old, that somehow he's automatically "safe." It's just irresponsible to endanger kids by assuming an adult is "harmless" simply because he or she may be losing hair, wearing glasses, using hearing aids or walking with a cane. These can be signs of advancing age, but they are not signs that an individual is safe around kids.
It is extremely rare that a child predator has only one victim.
Keep in mind your silence only hurts, and by speaking up there is a chance for healing, exposing the truth, and therefore protecting others.
Judy Jones, SNAP Midwest Associate Director, 636-433-2511
(SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is the world's oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. SNAP was founded in 1988 and has more than 12,000 members. Despite the word "priest" in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, and Protestant ministers and increasingly, victims who were assaulted in a wide range of institutional settings like summer camps, athletic programs, Boy Scouts, etc. Our website is SNAPnetwork.org)
You are missing the subtlety here, Trent S. Both Zwiebel's quotes to the Forward and the Jewish Week say essentially the same thing, and in both he misrepresents the legal standard for reporting. According to the law there is no REQUIREMENT to first establish the suspicion of abuse. Rather the law says that when a mandated reporter has suspicions of abuse he or she must report those suspicions. After all, how could someone report suspicions of abuse if he or she did not have them in the first place? That makes no sense. Zwiebel's quotes make it seem as if secular law disallows or even punishes a person for reporting without first establishing some objective threshold, when in fact the law says only that if the mandated reporter suspects abuse--based on his or her own training, experience, observations, etc.--this mandates a report. In short, the determination of suspicion rests with mandated reporter, and unless he or she files a knowingly false report, there is no negative consequence for the reporter if the suspicions turn out to be unfounded.
Thanks to Ms. Winston and Survivors for Justice and other champions of the abused who have tirelessly fought against the repugnant stonewalling by Agudah and other Charedi leaders, their reign of terror will hopefully come to an end. What is appalling is that even now they will try anything to save face - notwithstanding virulent public opposition and the D.A.'s reassertion of the law. After so many years of aiding and abetting these monsters (in the name of what?), one would think the time has come for them to bow their heads in shame, begin to atone for all the damage they've caused and commit instead to protecting our children.
Outraged and Disillusioned
interesting that Winston purposely misleads the reader into believing Winston's assertion that "Rabbi Zwiebel appears to have mischaracterized the mandated reporting law in a way that would make it erroneously appear to conform to the Agudah's position on the issue." How?
First Winston quotes the Forward paraphrasing Zweibel and subsequently gives us A DIRECT quote from Zweibel. The Forward's RENDITION of the conversation with Zweibel says: " According to the Forward, Rabbi Zwiebel defended Agudah's stance by noting that "having rabbis assess claims of abuse" was no different than the standard set for all mandated reporters, which "he characterized as a requirement for teachers and therapists to establish 'reasonable suspicion' before reporting a case to law enforcement under New York's mandatory reporting laws."
Why does she quote this FORWARD paraphrase and indict Zweibel with it when she subsequently concedes that she has Zweibels actual words from an email- words which conform to the very wording she claims the law makes, as follows: " that a mandated reporter have 'reasonable cause to suspect' before reporting." Why doesnt Winston explicitly point out that there is no evidence that the Forward's wording " reasonable suspicion" isn't EXACTLY what Zweibel also meant in the email to the Jewish Week when he uses the legal language 'reasonable cause to suspect' which Winston concedes is correct according to the law? WHY Doesnt Winston explicate this! Why is Winston lying by asserting that Zweibel maintains a position different from his quote in the email to the Jewish Week? Why doesnt the Jewish Week have a fact checker who would have caught Winston creating a paper tiger.
Surely there are some situations when it will not be clear to the mandated reporter whether his suspicions are or are not reasonable. The law books are full of case where whether something is "reasonable" is litigated with judges and jurors coming to opposite conclusions. I cannot believe that in a situation where a mandated reporter (who contrary to the article has not necessarily or even usually receive any training that would enable him or her to be better at detecting abuse than anyone else) observes something that he or she is not sure constitutes reasonable grounds for suspicion of abuse that person should shoot from the hip by making unreasonable accusations rather than seek guidance from someone who can evaluate what the mandated reporter observed objectively . Accusations are easily made but the repercussions of a false accusation are impossible to retract. I for one would never, except in the clearest cases, make an accusation that could have such severe consequences without running the situation by a third person (although it would more likely be my wife rather than a Rabbi) to make sure that I was not totally misreading the situation. I don't think that any fair person would do otherwise.

In 1791, 59-year-old George Washington found himself in an unusual Southern quandary, according to historians Louise Pettus and Martha Bishop.
The American Revolutionary War hero and first president was being worshipped, backslapped, saluted, wined and dined by the upper crust of the young nation, but an air of genuine distrust of anyone in government still permeated the Carolina backcountry.
A Lancaster woman, who highway patrol officials said was driving drunk, was seriously injured in a single-vehicle accident Monday night on John Everall Road.
S.C. Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Gary Miller said Tabitha Hinson Cudd, 27, was traveling east on John Everall Road in a 2004 Toyota SUV when she ran off the side of the roadway near Robin Road and struck a tree head-on.
Miller said Cudd, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was thrown through the front windshield and the SUV caught fire.
The journey that led to Friday night's state softball championship started for Jensen and Kaylee Shelby's family three decades ago.
Third baseman Jensen and designated runner Kaylee hugged their teammates on the field Friday night after winning Buford High School's first AA state title. Their mom Donna Shelby hugged everyone in the stands.
After a wet Friday night, the weather for the Red Rose Festival turned fabulous Saturday, pushing attendance to an estimated 8,000 people, up 60 percent from a year ago.
"It really went well," Joe Timmons, events and promotions manager for the city of Lancaster, said Tuesday. "We couldn't have asked for better weather on Saturday."
Timmon's estimated attendance for the seventh-annual street party at 8,000, up from 5,000 last year.
Lancaster County Council has issued an ultimatum to Fancy Pokket President Mike Timani – get a certificate of occupancy for your manufacturing plant by Oct. 31, or pay the $274,000 penalty specified in your 2012 agreement with the county.
In a 6-1 vote Monday night, the council decided there will be no more extensions and no further waivers for the Canadian company.
While the 2016 Red Rose Festival got off to a soggy start Friday, Main Street was a busy, vibrant place Saturday.
By lunchtime, the Ferris Wheel was turning, with riders waiting in line.
"I'm so glad the rain's not here," said Mark Barrett, who was manning the Christian Services information tent. "It's starting to break up and the skies are getting brighter."
Children of all ages were enjoying the downtown fun.
FLORENCE–The Buford High School Lady Yellow Jackets defeated the Dillon High School Lady Wildcats 2-1 to win the Class AA state softball championship at South Florence High School on Friday night. Check back later for details.
HEATH SPRINGS – It's no secret that the historic railroad depot in the county's smallest town needs a fresh coat of paint, but town leaders are going to put off the work for at least one more month.
It's not paying for the work that's the issue, but getting someone to do it.
In April, members of town council appointed councilman Mark Bridges to work with administrator Tony Starnes to get bids for the work and then report back for their May meeting.

CLEMSON — Clemson University experts will create virtual reality training programs and help veterans integrate into the work force as part of a $317 million federal plan that aims to remake U.S. textile manufacturing into a high-tech business.
Lancaster County's Relay for Life has blown past its fundraising goal by 20 percent, topping out at more than $165,000, thanks to the ongoing efforts of teams to push their totals higher after the April 29 annual event.
"Lancaster has raised $165,337.12, which is nearly $30,000 over their goal," said Jami Myers, Relay for Life's regional senior director.
The top four fundraising teams collected more than $10,000 each: Relay Rally Cats, $13,580; Team Dustin Carnes, $12,885; Founders Federal Credit Union, $11,345; and AR Rucker Middle, $10,100.

Chester McGlockton, Former NFL Pro Bowl Lineman, Dies at 42
Chester McGlockton, a former National Football League defensive tackle who made four Pro Bowl appearances, died today. He was 42.
McGlockton, who played his final NFL season in 2003 with the New York Jets, was in his second year as an assistant coach at Stanford University.
"Everyone in the Stanford football family is deeply saddened by the passing of Chester McGlockton," Stanford coach David Shaw said in a statement. "For the past two seasons, Chester has been a valuable member of our football staff and a wonderful friend to us all. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Chester's wife, Zina, and their two children."
No cause of death was disclosed in separate statements from Stanford and the Oakland Raiders.
McGlockton was a first-round draft pick in 1992 and spent his first six NFL seasons with the Raiders. Listed at 6-foot-3 and 334 pounds during his NFL career, McGlockton also played with the Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos and Jets, totaling 51 sacks and 555 tackles.
"The thoughts and prayers of the Raider Nation are with the McGlockton family during this difficult time," Raiders Chief Executive Amy Trask said in a statement.

When I was a kid my baby sitter was a Cowboy's fan, I had to sit and be quite and watch the game. Roger Staubach won me over.
I think the plan all along for 2012 was to clean house and get as many prospects as possible? Getting stop gaps was a must? No?

I hope so, I thought it was odd when I heard that. I would think he has some stuff he would want to work on.
Nice thread btw... :up:
Good to hear Stewart is in camp. Someone on the score said earlier today he hadn't reported yet.
Good for him... He may have made a few mistakes, but he did some good things for us as well.
Because all the pieces are in place and the writing is on the wall.

If you think you're getting the ring on the picture, you're not. Expect the diamonds to be much smaller, and then realize you could get a much better deal at a local jeweler. Only their speed on delivery was impressive. But false advertising does not earn trust.Read More

My fiance proposed with this ring and I absolutely love it!! It is smaller than it looks in the picture but is completely gorgeous. It's perfect for me because I don't really care for big gaudy jewelry. I've already gotten so many compliments on it and it sparkles beautifully. Definitely reccommend this ring!! :))))Read More
Not only is the ring VERY VERY small, but it also has a lot of black spots on (if you can call it it's biggest diamond) along with the even smaller diamonds. The diamonds are set off crooked as well. It is a very major disappointment. And I am sick and tired of people calling it "cute" when they see it. I am actually embarrassed to show it to people. Don't be cheap, at least get a 500.00 ring that won't have black all though it...Read More

* Deafening roars as athletics take centre stage
* British Heptathlete Jessica Ennis makes strong start
* Hindes crash controversy after British cycling gold
* Women's 10,000 metre final up for grabs
* Record-breaking Phelps seeks medal number 21 on Friday
By Mike Collett-White
LONDON, Aug 3 A packed Olympic Stadium took centre stage on Friday with the opening day of the athletics when home favourite heptathlete Jessica Ennis thrilled the raucous crowd with a world best time in the 100 metres hurdles event.
Business was not quite done in the pool, where American swimmer Michael Phelps - the most decorated Olympian of all time with 20 medals including 16 golds - will race his last individual Games event in the final of the 100 butterfly.
And on the seventh day of full sporting competition at the London Games, the cycling velodrome promised more British glory in the men's team pursuit and women's keirin.
Britain's men took cycling track team sprint gold on Thursday, but the taste of victory was soured when German-born rider Philip Hindes admitted to falling over on his bike on purpose in the heats to avoid being disqualified.
"I did it on purpose to get a restart ... it was all planned really," he told reporters, prompting shock among British media and leading to calls for a change in the rules.
It also raised uncomfortable questions about gamesmanship at the Games, after eight badminton players were thrown out for deliberately losing matches to manipulate the draw, breaking the spirit, but not the rules of their sport.
British cycling officials later said Hindes' comments were lost in translation and the International Olympic Committee has no plans to investigate the incident "at present".
The home nation has stormed up the medals table and a rowing win for Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins before 25,000 ecstatic fans at Dorney Lake in the women's double sculls made it six golds and fourth place overall.
Ennis, the London Games poster girl whose every move was greeted with deafening roars at the 80,000-capacity stadium, will hope to add to that tally after setting a world best time for a heptathlete in the 100 metres hurdles.
A short but heavy downpour could not dampen spirits at the main arena, where loud recorded music from Coldplay to Queen blared out in a cross between an athletics meet and pop concert.
World champion Vivian Cheruiyot of Kenya begins her bid for a distance double in a much-anticipated 10,000 final where Ethiopian Olympic champion Tirunesh Dibaba, who has the fastest time of the year, is expected to be her main rival.
Cheruiyot also has her eye on the 5,000 next week as she attempts to replicate her double gold from last year's world championships.
Elsewhere in track and field, a trio of Americans will seek to capture the men's shot put gold for United States for the first time since 1996.
Reese Hoffa, Ryan Whiting and Christian Cantwell, silver medallist in Beijing four years ago, set out to dethrone Olympic champion Tomasz Majewski of Poland with Germany's world title holder David Storl also likely to be in strong contention.
With the opening of the athletics, the jewel in the Olympic crown, excitement has begun to build towards Jamaican Usain Bolt's defence of his 100 title on Sunday and his 200 crown four days later.
In their final duel before Phelps is due to retire, he pushed fellow American and world champion Ryan Lochte into second place on Thursday to become the first male swimmer to win the same individual event three times at successive Games.
Missy Franklin, 17, chases her third gold medal in the 200 backstroke while Rebecca Adlington carries British hopes in the 800 freestyle, bidding to repeat her victory in Beijing.
United States also celebrated victories on Thursday in the women's rowing eight and for 16-year-old Gabby Douglas in the all-around gymnastics where she edged out Russian Victoria Komova who was too upset to wear her silver medal.
"People keep saying I was the first black American to win the gold medal and I'm so honoured," Douglas, nicknamed the Flying Squirrel, told reporters after claiming the biggest prize in women's gymnastics.
She helped the United States catch up with the Chinese in the overall medal standings, with both countries on 18 golds on day seven of full competition.
In the scandal over match-throwing in the badminton tournament, disqualified Chinese Yu Yang announced she was quitting the sport.
"This is my last competition. Goodbye Badminton World Federation, goodbye my beloved badminton," Yu wrote on her microblog.
She was one of eight women, two each from China and Indonesia and four from South Korea, kicked out of the Games for playing to lose group matches in order to secure easier knockout opposition.
The badminton debacle and the cycling controversy have been among the few sour notes of a Games distinguished by enthusiastic crowds and Phelps's remarkable feats.
In the rowing on Friday, Britain's Grainger won her gold at the fourth time of asking following three silver medals at the last three Games.
New Zealand struck gold twice, with Mahe Drysdale taking the men's single sculls and men's pair Eric Murray and Hamish Bond cruising to victory in comprehensive fashion.
Germany powered to gold in the men's quad sculls, finally getting their revenge on the young Croatian crew who had beaten them all season.
But another German rower, Nadja Drygalla, who has already finished competing at the Games, voluntarily left the Olympic village following reports that her boyfriend was a far-right extremist.
Sergei Martynov, the 44-year-old Belarussian, used a 13-year-old gun and bullets from the Soviet era to win the men's 50 metre prone rifle with a world record score.
And at Wimbledon, Roger Federer of Switzerland remained on course to repeat his heroics in the Grand Slam in July, beating Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro in a marathon 19-17 third and final set for a place in the final.
