Mickey Lemle's documentary Ram Dass, Fierce Grace is a portrait of Ram
Dass (Richard Alpert), author, 60s guru, spiritual teacher, cohort of
Timothy Leary, & author of Be Here Now, one of the most influential
books of the 1970s. The film begins in the present, as Ram Dass deals
with the effects of a massive stroke he suffered in February 1997 that
left him physically incapacitated, & with impaired memory &
speech. Interweaving current conversations, interviews with people in
his life, & archival footage, Lemle then looks back at his
childhood, the controversy surrounding his research with Timothy Leary
in psychedelics at Harvard, his studies in India with Neem Karoli Baba,
who renamed him Baba Ram Dass (Servant of God), his work with the Seva
Foundation in social action projects dedicated to relieving suffering in
the world, & his impact as an author & guru to millions of
Several examples are shown of his compassion & his
ability to feel the pain of others. In an early sequence, his beautiful
"Rachel's Letter" comforts a family after their daughter was murdered.
In the final sequence, Ram Dass listens to a young woman struggling to
overcome her grief at her boyfriend's violent death. She brings him to
tears when she tells him about a dream she had in which her boyfriend
speaks to her from beyond with a reassuring message.
When Ram
Dass received the "fierce grace" of being "stroked," he admits he did
not have any unusual spiritual epiphany. He recalls, "Here I am, Mr.
Spiritual, & in my own head I didn't orient toward the spirit. It
showed me I have some work to do." He has written about the stroke in
his latest book, Still Here in which he talks about slowing down, &
finding out about the "everything" that is out there. For Ram Dass,
aging has become a gift. "I was galumphing through life before the
stroke," he says. "I'm at peace now more than I've ever been. The peace
comes from settling in to the moment."
Enhanced by the music of
Krishna Das, the documentary is more than just a bio-pic or a meditation
on the process of aging, it is an inspiring portrait of a man whose
life can be summed up in one word -- service. Ram Dass has said, "What
one person has to offer to another is their own being, nothing more,
nothing less." In Ram Dass, Fierce Grace, Lemle has given us Ram Dass's
being, nothing more, nothing less. That is a gift of love.

text: I know the rule is roughly a size per stone but I wondered how accurate that is for most people? How much did you have to lose to drop each size? I've found I've dropped 3 in nearly 4 stone. First one always seems to take a bit longer! I've got a night out next month and want to buy a pretty new outfit for it. Reckon I can drop a stone by then, hoping it'll mean dropping a size too but tying not to get my hopes up!!

The following sponsorship opportunities afford you the opportunity to help advance worthwhile programs, as well as benefit from your name being associated with that program. Please e-mail, Madeline Bergman, Director of Development, for more information or (800)545-3286.
Unrestricted General Donation FIRST continually needs general operating funds for the day-to-day expenses that are incurred with running a national foundation. An unrestricted donation in any amount would greatly add to our general operating funds and allow FIRST to improve other programs or services.
Member's Assistance Fund - $1,000 The Member's Assistance Fund was established to help our members affected by ichthyosis to afford products and treatments that could improve their quality of life. The fund began from a one-time donation of $10,000 and continues to grow. Applicants are reviewed twice a year by a committee and your contribution to this fund will directly benefit those people in need. FIRST will provide a quarter page advertisement in an issue of Ichthyosis Focus, our quarterly newsletter, which is mailed to 4,500 households, reaching approximately 5,000 affected individuals.
Newsletter Sponsorship - $5,000 Every three months, FIRST produces a newsletter that is mailed to 4,300 homes, reaching approximately 5,000 affected individuals. The newsletter is read cover-to-cover by all our members and is an essential link to families affected by ichthyosis. By helping to underwrite the newsletter, you will help offset the printing, design and mailing costs associated with its production. FIRST will provide one full-page advertisement and your company name and logo in a banner on the front cover recognizing your level of support.
Publications - $5,000 Our publications are a great resource for our members, new parents and professionals. These publications supply vital information about ichthyosis, its causes and its treatments. FIRST has several publications already in existence: our general brochure; Ichthyosis: An Overview; Ichthyosis: The Genetics of its Inheritance; Ichthyosis: A Guide for Teachers; Release the Butterfly, A Handbook for Parents & Caregivers of Children with Ichthyosis. These publications continually need to be updated with the latest information. A donation to this fund will enable FIRST to update these publications or create a new publication with helpful tips for parents of school-aged children. FIRST will recognize your company by printing your name and logo on the publication.
Awareness Mailing - $8,000 Every dermatologist, genetic counselor, pediatrician and general practice physician in the country should have information about the Foundation for Ichthyosis & Related Skin Types to give to their patients. Unfortunately, there are still many physicians who see patients affected by ichthyosis and do not know our foundation exists and is available to provide support to these families. Your contribution will help to underwrite the costs associated with printing, designing and mailing of a postcard to these physicians. FIRST will recognize your company by printing your name and logo on the postcard which would be seen by these physicians.
Research Program Fund - General Donation In 1998, FIRST was able to fund its first research grant through the Dermatology Foundation. The foundation has committed itself to funding more grants for research in the upcoming years. There is an enormous amount of research that needs to be conducted to identify gene mutations, develop testing to identify carriers and find a cure. Your contribution to this fund will benefit everyone who is affected by ichthyosis in the present and in the future. Depending on the level of support, recognition of your company will be tailored to your meet your needs.
The official registration and financial information of Foundation for Ichthyosis & Related Skin Types, Inc.® may be obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of State by calling toll-free, within Pennsylvania, 1-800-732-0999. Registration does not imply endorsement.

SOMERSET, Ky (WYMT) - The Southwestern Lady Warriors are motivated, not by the hype surrounding this season, but by what happened to them last season.
Junior Point Guard Destiny Molden talked about what happened last season, "The last memory that everyone has of us, is being down and losing by 11 to a team we beat by 30, and that puts a lot of fire to us, and come out and prove everyone wrong."
Sophomore Center Elisabeth Lantham remembered it as well, "Last season of course we lost the last game, and it was a big upset. I feel like we can take that loss, and all that anger we have and put it through this season."
Senior Guard Allie Venable wants that loss to motivate them into this year, "Last year, it didn't end how we wanted it to be. So we have to add that fuel to our fire this year and push further than we've gotten in the past."
With a new head coach, the girls are excited for the change of pace.
Sophomore Guard Samantha Fitzgerald said, "We'll be more after it more ready and definitely more active, and more fast paced this year. I think that's really going to help us a lot."
New Head Coach Stephen Butcher talked goals for his team, "If we can control the things we can control, that are within our grasp, we'll be just fine. I've told them since day one, we won't get out-talented. I'm fully confident in their abilities to do those things. As long as I don't screw it up. I think we'll be ok."
This Lady Warrior team has been together for a long time, and they think this is their year to bring home their first 12th Region Title.
Senior Center Sydney Fourman thought about what it would mean to bring a 12th Region title home, "These girls are great. We push each other everyday in practice, getting that region championship would make it that much better."
Junior Guard Brittany Combs said, "Since we've been together since 4th grade, our chemistry is going to be there. It's just a new coach, new intensity. He just really motivates us to be the best we can. We are still the same group of girls, just new coach."
Junior Guard Adison Corder said, "We got upset last year in the region and that game has stayed in our mind ever since. I think we just have the same goal to win district and be the first team to win region for our school and make some noise in state."
Junior Center Dylana Fothergill said, "It gives us an extra push for what we want to accomplish, and didn't last year."
Junior Guard Megan Stevens said, "We have great chemistry and we all work together as a team, and we all have work ethic to make sure we get to where we want to."

V-berths in the cuddy convert to a platform with filler cushions. Wellcraft offers a selection of interior fabrics and even includes decorator pillows. The head is in the console, and includes a sink and hot and cold water.
Better Than a C/C
Center console boats are fine if all you want to do is fish, but they can be a hard sell to the rest of the family (that is, your wife) unless you live in a house full of anglers. Wellcraft improved on the C/C by shifting the console to starboard, which makes room to port for an al fresco galley – the builder calls it an "amenity station" -- with a stovetop, sink and refrigerator. We'd rather cook out here, in the fresh air, than cooped belowdecks in a cramped galley. The Bimini, integrated into the powdercoated arch, provides shade.
Plenty of empty space on the console for nav units, fishfinders and so forth. Inside, there's a head with sink and shower. The helm seat converts to a leaning post.
There's a head compartment in the console, which leaves the cuddy just for sleeping: Midnight calls of nature won't involve disturbing one's sleeping partner. Optional air conditioning will make the 30 Scarab Sport a comfortable weekend cruiser even during the dog days, as long as you sleep within range of shore power.
The 30 Scarab Sport's open-air galley is sufficient for making lunch or a casual dinner, and shaded by the Bimini, too.
Don't Forget Fishing
But Wellcraft includes fishing gear on the 30 Scarab Sport, too. A baitwell and rigging station are both standard, along with two in-deck fishboxes. Pull-up cleats won't snag your lines, and nine rod holders should be enough; there are also under-gunwale rod racks port and starboard. A transom door will do double duty for both fishing and swimming – a heavy-duty dive ladder is optional. We prefer them to the often flimsy folding ladders most builders provide. Taco Grand Slam outriggers are also optional.
The powdercoated arch, standard, includes a Bimini and rod holders. Note the cover over the galley unit, keeping the spray off while providing another surface for rigging baits.
Maximum rated power for the Wellcraft 30 Scarab Sport is 600-hp in twin outboards. A company spokesperson said "the vast majority" of boats are rigged with twin 250s, either Yamaha F250 or Mercury 250 Verados, both four-strokes, or Evinrude 250 E-TEC two-strokes. We tested a 30 Scarab Sport in 2007 with the Evinrudes and found her top speed to be 52.1 mph (83.8 kph), best cruise 31.8 mph (51.2 kph), with a range at that speed of 395 miles (635 km) with 10% reserve.
Fishboxes in the deck and a baitwell and rigging station in the transom are all standard.
Yamaha claims better numbers with their F250s – we haven't tested the boat with this power, but are just passing along their data. Yamaha claims 54.9 mph (88.4 kph) top, 43.1 mph (69.4 kph) best cruise (4500 rpm); those numbers crunch to 425-mile (684 km) range with 10% fuel reserve.
Bottom Line
MSRP for a standard Wellcraft 30 Sport Scarab is $163,420 with twin Yamaha F250 outboards. That's for a mostly complete boat, without electronics – we didn't find any options we couldn't live without, although we'd probably add offshore trim tabs. We think her price is good for all that you get: the cuddy cabin, galley, enclosed head and long list of standard equipment.
Will your wife prefer a conventional CC to the Wellcraft 30 Scarab Sport? We don't think so. Chances are she'll say "Yes" to the Scarab.
Dry stowage is forward, both in-deck and under the lounges. A table is optional here, as is a filler cushion to create a sunpad.

Tracheostomy Care
What is tracheostomy care?
Tracheostomy (trach) care is done to ensure your trach tube and the area around it stays clean. This helps prevent a clogged tube and decreases the risk of infection. Trach care includes suctioning and cleaning your skin and parts of the tube. Your caregiver will show you how to care for your trach tube, and what to do in an emergency.
What are the parts of a trach tube?
- Flanges: These are the curved wings on each side of the trach tube. The flanges help keep the trach tube in place.
- Trach ties: The ties go around your neck and hold the flanges in place. The ties may be made of fabric tape. A trach holder made from hook and loop fasteners may also be used.
- Inner cannula: This is a smaller tube that sits inside the trach tube. The inner cannula can be removed for cleaning.
- Obturator: This is a small device used to insert a new trach tube.
- Cuff: Some plastic trach tubes have a cuff that fills with air and helps hold the tube in place. A thin tube and reservoir may hang from the trach tube so you can inflate and deflate the cuff.
What supplies do I need for trach care?
Keep spare supplies with you at all times while you have a trach tube. You may at any time need to suction or change your tube if it gets clogged or needs to be replaced quickly.
- One trach tube the same size as your current tube and another trach tube that is 1 size smaller
- Obturator for each trach tube
- One set of trach ties or a trach holder
- Portable suction machine with battery backup and tubing that connects to the suction machine
- Catheters with a suction valve
- Sterile saline
- Rescue breathing bag and mask
- Emergency phone numbers
How can I prevent infections?
- Wash your hands: Always wash your hands before and after any trach tube care.
- Clean your trach equipment: Use clean or sterile trach care methods and clean your equipment as your caregiver directs.
- Keep your neck clean and dry: Change the gauze and trach ties when they are wet or dirty.
- Keep your mouth clean: Saliva and mucus contain germs that cause infection if they enter your airway. Brush your teeth twice a day and suction your mouth as needed to help prevent infections.
How do I suction my trach tube?
You may be told to suction your trach tube at least twice a day. Your caregiver will tell you when or if you need to suction more often.
- Prepare your suction machine: Each suction machine has a pressure gauge. Your caregiver will tell you what amount of pressure to use when you suction your trach tube. You can test the pressure before you suction by covering the suction valve on the catheter with your thumb.
- Use saline only as directed: Your caregiver may tell you to insert a few drops of sterile saline into your trach tube to make your secretions thin. Do not use saline unless directed by your caregiver.
- Suction your trach tube: The catheter should be inserted until it is just past the end of the tube. Your caregiver will tell you how far to insert the catheter. The catheter may have measurements marked on it for you to follow. You can also measure and mark the catheter so you do not put it in too far. Take a deep breath and try to cough up the secretions before you suction your trach tube. Only cover the suction valve as you remove the catheter. Gently twist the catheter as you pull it out. It should take less than 15 seconds.
How do I care for my trach tube?
Clean the area around your tube and the inner cannula at least once each day.
- Check for signs of infection: Wash your hands before you remove your trach dressing. Look for redness or swelling of the skin around your tube. Clean the area and replace the trach dressing as directed. Do not cut the gauze. Fold the gauze instead so you do not breathe in the cut fibers.
- Clean the inner cannula: Suction your trach tube before you remove the inner cannula. Clean the inner cannula with a cleaning solution as directed by your caregiver. Rinse the inner cannula before you replace it in your trach tube.
- Change wet or dirty trach ties: A finger should fit snugly between your neck and the trach ties. Ties that are too tight can cause skin breakdown. The trach tube can move out of place when the ties are too loose. You may need someone to help you hold the trach tube in place or attach the new ties.
How do I change my trach tube?
Change your trach tube as often as your caregiver directs. You may also need to change the trach tube if it moves out of place, feels uncomfortable, or the cuff leaks. You may need someone to help you change the trach tube.
- Prepare the new trach tube: Insert the obturator into the new tube. Inflate the cuff with air to make sure it works, and then let the air out. Place a small amount of lubricant on the lower end of the tube as directed by your caregiver. Wipe off excess lubricant.
- Deflate the cuff on your current trach tube before you remove it: You can damage your airway or skin if you forget to do this. Pull your trach tube out gently.
- Insert the new trach tube: Remove the obturator after the trach tube is in place. Insert a new or clean inner cannula. Use trach ties or a trach holder as directed to secure the tube.
- Inflate the cuff as directed: Your caregiver will show you how much air to use. A cuff with too much air can leak, break, or harm your airway.
How do I keep my secretions thin?
- Keep water and other materials out of your trach tube: Do not swim. Use a shower shield or trach cap while you bathe to keep water from entering your airway. Avoid breathing in dust. Do not use powders or sprays near your trach tube.
- Drink plenty of liquids: Ask your caregiver which liquids are best for you and how much liquid you should drink each day.
- Humidify the room: Use a room humidifier or vaporizer while you sleep.
- Humidify your airway: You may be directed to use a heat moisture exchanger (HME), a trach collar, or fabric stoma covers. An HME attaches to your trach tube and prevents moisture loss. A trach collar connects to a machine that supplies humidified air to your trach. Fabric stoma covers are moistened and worn over your trach tube.
What steps do I follow if I am having trouble breathing?
- Try to clear the trach tube: Cough to help move mucus, water, or irritants out of your airway. Suction the tube if coughing does not clear your airway.
- Gently move the trach tube: Your tube opening may be against your airway. Gently reposition the tube to make sure it sits in your airway properly.
- Remove your inner cannula: Look for secretions inside the inner cannula. Clean the inner cannula if it has mucus in it.
- Replace your trach tube: Insert a new trach tube. Try a smaller size if a regular sized tube will not go in properly.
- Call 911: Have someone call 911 if you still cannot breathe easily.
When should I contact my caregiver?
Contact your caregiver if:
- You have a fever.
- You have increased or thicker secretions than usual.
- Your secretions are yellow or green.
- You see thick, red tissue growing around your trach tube, or the skin is red, swollen, or draining pus.
- Your trach cuff is leaking or broken.
- It hurts to swallow.
When should I seek immediate care?
Seek care immediately or call 911 if:
- You cannot breathe well even after you clean or change your trach tube.
- You find blood around or coming from your trach tube.
- You cannot insert a new trach tube.

Eastside Prep-East Palo Alto's last points of the night were scored on a fastbreak layin by Hashima Carothers. Call it an exclamation point. The USF-bound Carothers was a one-girl wrecking crew against visiting Pinewood-Los Altos Hills in a 47-34 West Bay Athletic League Foothill Division victory Tuesday evening.
In a showdown battle of Panthers, Eastside Prep (17-5, 8-1 WBAL Foothill) has a one-game lead over Pinewood (18-5, 7-2 WBAL Foothill) with one game to play in the regular season. Eastside hosts Castilleja-Palo Alto on Friday, while Pinewood visits third-place Menlo School-Atherton.
After Carothers scored 22 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, Pinewood coach Doc Scheppler paid her the ultimate tribute. In their first meeting, Carothers had 21 points in a 53-38 win at Pinewood.
"She's the best player in the league, no question," Scheppler said. "She proved that. She has an outside game now. Before it was chuck-and-chase and she does that still really well. She's a great player."
"Hashima is a Div. I player," Eastside Prep guard Charmaine Bradford said. "She's proving to everyone that she's the best in the league right now."
Pinewood had just 3 points in the fourth quarter, a layin by Gabi Bade to start the period and a made free throw by Angelina Mapa.
"I fell in love with our defense," Eastside coach Donovan Blythe said. "They turned it up. That's why we're winning, because of the defense."
"There are three aspects of being a good defensive player," Scheppler said. "Athleticism, intensity and principles. They are athletic, they play their (tails) off and their principles are pretty darn good at this level. We had a hard time getting dribble-penetration."
The game featured two of the top point guards in the league in Pinewood's Marissa Ting and Bradford, who had 14 points and 4 steals. Hing hit 2 treys in the second period, finishing with 8 points and 6 rebounds.
Pinewood threw up a rare 2-3 zone to begin the second period. Eastside beat it with some good passing as Destiny Graham fed Chacitty Cunningham on the weakside for a bucket. Carothers knew it was going to be her night when a Pinewood defender got a lot a ball while defending Carothers' 16-foot shot attempt. Carothers' shot was low, but toyed with the rim before going down.
Carothers scored while following a miss by Brije Byers and it was 22-12 Eastside. Mapa hit a late trey to close out the half with Pinewood trailing just 24-18.
"It's a game we can walk away with our heads high," said Mapa, who had a team-high 13 points and a handful of rebounds. "We have to keep going at it until we see them in CCS."
Eastside went on a 13-5 run to begin the third period. Carothers stole the ball at mid-court, then went in for a basket, drawing the foul. Carothers, who made 8 of 9 from the line, converted the three-point play.
Gabi Bade's deep 3-pointer gave Pinewood some life, then Hing passed to Leeana Bade for a hoop. Bade, fouled on the play, made the free throw. Eastside Prep had a 41-31 lead after three periods, then proceeded to stifle Pinewood in the final 8 minutes.
Eastside's Alexus Simon failed to score, but grabbed 7 boards. The lanky Graham had 8 rebounds, along with 5 points, a block and a steal.
"This game was important," Carothers said. "We needed this game to be league champions."
With the win, Eastside Prep has, in all probability, punched its ticket into the inaugural Central Coast Section Open Division playoffs.
"We don't mind at all," Carothers said. "It's going to be really fun. We're excited."
"If Eastside Prep plays the way they did (tonight), not a lot of teams around this area can beat them," Scheppler said. "They have a shot to do really well in the Open Division."

Today's post is a little different. I decided to combine several of the smaller assignments into one post. That's not to say they aren't important enough to get their own post. It's just a housekeeping thing. Trying to keep our blog still geared toward the business somewhat. Speaking of that, if you're new here and looking for our wedding or portrait work, be sure to click the little tabs in the header to just pull up those blog posts (and if you're curious about this project I'm in the middle of, click here).
Up first is Caroline, one of our portrait clients from a couple years ago. She's a marathon runner, which is completely amazing to me. I have trouble walking a couple miles... I can't imagine running over 26! So when she contacted me about taking some photos of her while she trains, I was intrigued. I wasn't really sure what I would photograph; after all there's only so many ways to take pictures of someone running. But I was up for the challenge. In talking with Caroline, what struck me was how much she loves running a particular stretch of the Maryville-Alcoa Greenway near the Clayton Homes headquarters. She talked about how peaceful it was; secluded and beautiful. So while I was shooting, it hit me... the story isn't just about her running. It's about her relationship with this trail. So I sought to capture that.
Next we meet Aaron, who I used to see fairly regularly when I worked at the newspaper, and he worked for a local nonprofit. He has since left the world of nonprofit organizations to find greener pastures elsewhere. He's been struggling for a while, but luckily recently started a new job doing marketing and claims management for a local roofing company. Pretty cool job, right? For those that don't live in the area, we had some pretty intense storms last summer that dumped a lot of damaging hail on the homes and cars. Roofing is a booming business right now. There's a catch about the job though... Aaron is afraid of heights. Ha! He contacted me about doing some photos of him at work as a way to share with his family and friends that he found a new job.
Alright, like most guys, I dig guns. I'm no gun nut or anything, but I enjoy shooting. I remembered Corey, one of our upcoming grooms, telling me about his custom built AR-15 during a bridal wedding meeting (that's what us guys talk about while Danielle and the brides talk weddings!) so when I mentioned that on my Foto February blog post, I was hoping he, or someone else that has built their own rifle would want some photos done. And he did. Corey was nice enough to loan me the AR for a few hours one afternoon to let me play around.
Lastly, one that hits a little closer to home. Thanks to my mother-in-law, I will always take time to blow my horn and wave back to the brave sign spinners and crazy characters on the sides of America's roads now.
You see, she is one now.
As much as I want to make fun of her (and don't get me wrong, she still gets teased by me) I can't really, because I'm proud of her. Not too many people I know, heck, no one else, would have the courage to swallow their pride and tackle such an endeavor. But being faced with tight finances since my father-in-law was laid off last year, she's doing it.
And she's doing it well; a ceaseless wave and a beaming smile throughout her day. Just like she told me after I took her picture, "a job's a job."
So next time you see one of these crazy folks on the street corner doing their thing, give them a wave or a good toot from your horn. It just might make it seem like it's all worth it to them
Thanks to you all, Caroline, Aaron, Corey, and Kathy, for taking part in my Foto February project!! And thanks to everyone for reading this super-long post! Coming up in a couple days, another classic Mustang on a mini road trip.

I would see if temporarily removing one of the switches changes the speed.
It seems its the switch due to leds at 100 MBS not lighting up. Some
switches share the bandwidth. So if you have 4 ports each one gets
about 10 m bits (not 100) not what you would expect.
I would certainly check the switch specs a little more thoroughly.

Police: Four men carjack two women and a toddlerUPDATED 11:20 PM CDT Aug 04, 2013
New Orleans Police say the suspects carjacked the women Saturday night at gunpoint in the 500 block of Marigny street.Video Transcript
CARJACKED TWO WOMEN AND A THREE YEAR OLD AT GUN POINT. THESE ARE COMPOSITE SKETCHES OF THE TWO SUSPECTS. THE WOMEN SAY THEY HAD TO PLEAD WITH THE MEN TO GET THE TODDLER OUT OF THE JEEP. IT HAPPENED AROUND 8:00 SATURDAY EVENING IN THE 5-HUNDRED BLOCK OF MARIGNY STREET. WDSU REPORTER CASEY FERRAND IS LIVE AT THE 8TH DISTRICT POLICE STATION WITH MORE ON THE INVESTIGATION. POLICE SAY ONE OF THE MEN HELD UP THE WOMEN AND CHILD AT GUNPOINT AND TOOK OFF IN THEIR JEEP. MARIGNY NEIGBORS SAY THEY FELL LIKE CRIME IS ON THE RISE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY'D LIKE TO SEE POLICE PRESENCE INCREASE AS WELL. ACCORDING TO POLICE, THE VICTIMS WERE GETTING IN THEIR JEEP HERE ON MARIGNY STREET WHEN TWO MEN APPROACHED THEM. 28:28 one gentleman brandished a semiautomatic pistol and demanded their property and asked that they would leave the vehicle in the process. what's disturbing about the case is the female had a 3-year-old toddler with her at the time. 14 POLICE SAY THE VICTIMS PLEADED WITH THE MEN TO LET THEM TAKE THE CHILD OUT OF THE BACK SEAT. FINALLY POLICE SAY FOUR MEN TOOK OFF IN THE JEEP WITH THE VICTIMS' PURSES AND OTHER BELONGINGS INSIDE. NEIGHBORS SAY THE CRIME IS COMING TO CLOSE FOR COMFORT. one of the guys who lives with me last night got in late, and he said two guys approached him and got in his face but he was able to walk into the building. THIS RESIDENT LIVES ON THE BLOCK WHERE SATURDAY'S CARJACKING TOOK PLACE... AND SEES A NEED FOR MORE POLICE PRESENCE. this happens so often and it seems to go in streaks and we're on a really bad streak. in the past I will give it to NOPD they have mobilized the area and it seems to die down but unless they're doing something I don't know about we don't see them. BUT SARGEANT ERNEST LUSTER SAYS THEIR COMMANDER HAS SPECIFICALLY DEPLOYED PERSONNEL TO THE MARIGNY TO INCREASE PRESENCE... SINCE THE AREA WAS REASSIGNED TO THE 8TH DISTRICT. we've in fact increased police presence in the recent months since that area was reassigned to the 8th districtAnd we don't want anyone in the marigny to feel that the 8th district hasn't taken an active concern. We've taken a very active interest POLICE BELIEVE THE SUSPECTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANOTHER CARJACKING THAT HAPPENED IN THE 800 BLOCK OF CLOUETTE STREET. THE VICTIMS IN THAT CASE IDENTIFIED ONE OF THE SUSPECTS FROM THE COMPOSITE SKETCH IN THIS CASE. THAT VICTIM'S VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECOVERED AND IS BEING PROCESSED FOR FORENSICS. HERE'S ANOTHER LOOK AT THE COMPOSITE SKETCHES THE STOLEN VEHICLE IS A WHITE 2007 JEEP COMPASS WITH THE LOUISIANA LICENSE PLATE PNT800. IF YOU SEE IT CALL CRIMESTOPPERS AT 822-1111.

I'm trying to share specific directories between two home computers, one is
Vista Home Premium on a wireless router, the other an XP computer hardwired
to the router. Both have working internet connections through the router.
The Vista machine sees the XP machine on the network diagram, and can see the
"Shared Directories" on the XP computer (when they are set to "sharing" in
the properties). So I know the both machines are on the network and can
share. I think this means the firewalls are correctly set.
However, the XP machine does not show the Vista machine on the network
diagram, and hence cannot access the Vista's directories, even though I have
designated them for sharing.
I have read Jack's networking links and cannot figure out what I am doing
wrong. Any ideas?

it takes a very long view to pin point the winner but as it is now Man U is about to take over if they can keep on with their good job that will be more better, in other hand Liverpool, as never play alone team are still on their full force to be on the top for since last year till now, chelsea have to remember their starting point because beeing a good starter and bad finisher is to bad rather a team work is good starter and good finisher. before the end February the winner must have shorcase themselve but now is this 3 mentioned team on top of the list,

now who it gonna be hmmm i wonder its the ferrari versus the skoda
- 1 Reply to united4life
The Ferrari, I assume, is Liverpool? A long history of quality and an unerring ability to entertain.
Which of course would make the Skoda Chelsea. A Russian brand with more behind them than ever before now producing rebadged rehashes of other peoples designs?
Good analogy.
Man u will win the league, chelsea 2nd. 3rd will be between liverpool or arsenal. 5th villa.
chelsea have to many superstar centre midfielders and try to play them all in the same team that is their problem aswell as having drogba he has no place in english football nobody likes him. liverpool only really have gerrard and torres who would get in either chelsea or man u's side. and will either finish 3rd or 4th depending on how arsenal go on. i am non biased either i hate arsenal and dont mind the rest

man u to win arsenal wont be in top 4
I think easily Man Utd. I am a Chelsea fan but have been ashamed at the games they have thrown away. We need players and a manager with a bit of get up and go. There was I thinking it was just the England players who didn't care about playing for their teams.
I really have been dipping in and out this year and glad in a way I just don't have the passion anymore..if the players won't try...then why should I be bothered?

Location: Nutrition and Environmental Management Research
Project Number: 3040-31000-092-00
Start Date: Jul 31, 2012
End Date: Jul 30, 2017
Feed costs represent the single largest input in both beef and swine production; however, less than 20% of the feed energy is converted to edible product. Improving the efficiency that feed is converted to animal products has the potential to improve the economic efficiency of animal production while improving the sustainability of animal agriculture. To maximize feed efficiency the correct profile of nutrients are matched to meet an animal's needs for its current biological status (growth, pregnancy, lactation, previous nutrient history, and disease). In order to provide the correct profile of nutrients, the nutrient composition of feeds and the dynamic nutrient requirements of the animal must both be identified and then synchronized. There is genetic variation amongst animals in their ability to utilize feed. Multiple genes are associated with the regulation of feed intake, and the utilization of ingested nutrients. Differential expression of these genes results in variation of feed efficiency amongst animals within populations, and these genetic differences potentially change the nutrient requirements of the animal. Nutrient status during critical periods of development (fetal and peripuberal) can permanently modify the expression of genes changing the lifetime feed efficiency of an animal. Identifying the role of nutrition in regulating gene expression is needed to develop nutrition management strategies across generations of animals in a production system.

"Equal opportunity does not mean equal results".
Why do democrats think there is any more opportunity today than on 1/19/09?? How has that changed?? Explain that one to me. Perhaps they are so used to people doing things for them that they have fogotten how to create things on their own. Dependence, dependence, dependence. My children are dependence...is that what the DU's are? Children?
Independence equals freedom. And it's individual freedom. Once you try grouping (socialism), you trade freedom for fairness. I vote for freedom, sorry....life isn't fair. Now, DU's go stomp your feet and cry in your rooms.

Here are 10 ground rules for going to uppity house-warming parties thrown by a co-worker:
1. Don't show up drunk
2. Don't forget to take the price tags off the wine you bring (especially the $3.99 bottle)
3. Don't spill beer on the furniture
4. Don't pretend to be gay just for the laughs
5. Don't openly admit to wanting to bite another party guest
6. Don't make out with your girl/boyfriend
7. Don't cut a fart and exclaim, "Wow, somebody was eating Indian food!"
8. Don't sit on the floor and eat all the party mix without sharing
9. Don't walk in the door and say, "Hmmm, I guess I make more money than you."
10. Don't tell the party host that her man-friend is gay
Well at an uppity house-warming party thrown just the other day, I participated in breaking 9 of those 10 rules. A friend of mine broke the 10th. I've decided to allow this friend to tell that story on my blog because, well, it just fits in with the theme. The writing style, which is much more polished than I would ever bother with, ain't too bad. I hope y'all enjoy.
I normally don't think of myself as tactless. I usually don't get eyes rolled at me or looks of annoyance from friends while at parties, work or any other social venues. But sometimes I do...
I have lived in the Washington, D.C. area for most of my life. A few years out for college when I tried my hand in the rural surroundings of Southern Virginia and then a brief stint in Europe after I graduated. I returned to Washington about four years ago and have been living in the Northwest part of the city. Anyone who is familiar with the Washington area knows that there is a somewhat diverse population in terms of nationality, religion, sexual preference, etc. Despite this, D.C. has managed to stay somewhat segregated and these different groups tend not to mix, at least when it comes to living space.
Dupont Circle is known for being home to the gay population of D.C. and any single, straight woman here can tell you that that population is quite large - at least in comparison to most cities in the United States. A good number of my friends live in the Dupont area as it is centrally located - there are bars and clubs nearby, it is walking distance to the downtown business district as well as the main tourist attractions, located on the Mall.
Recently a coworker who had been working in our NY office, moved to Washington and immediately found herself a studio apartment in Dupont Circle. She invited a few of us over for a housewarming party. Normally I wouldn't start drinking until arriving at such a party, but this particular evening I thought it a good idea to share a bottle of wine with a friend before leaving for the party. Bottle finished, we made way for the party (stopping only once to pick up a couple bottles of wine - one to replace the one we had just consumed, the other to fulfill the unwritten rule that each invited guest shall bring something to eat/drink) and quickly made ourselves comfortable with more wine and ample chatter.
As the evening progressed, a gentleman arrived at the party and was introduced to the group. He lives in Dupont, worked at a vineyard and has a Jerry Seinfeld type look about him (though that wasn't part of the introduction). Anyway, despite the fact that he said he had met my coworker at Shabbat dinner (translation: mixer for young Jews), despite the fact that later he corrected himself later and they had actually met at the part of a mutual friend, despite the fact that my coworker had been discussing having gone out with him (though I will say that I didn't hear that conversation, or if I did, I must have been a bit zoned out - it was told to me later), I assumed that he was gay. I was wrong. I think this is only the second time I've been wrong about said issue and found out about it: the first time for which I think I have to be forgiven as the guy was introduced to me as a Republican (a common, albeit sad practice in Washington) - and while I know they exist, gay and Republican just don't go together in my mind. Anyway, I digress.
When the next guest arrived, my coworker asked if I wanted to accompany her to let her friend in and I obliged. On the way down to the front of the building, she confided in me that she had been on a date with the aforementioned gentleman and she was iffy on exactly what was going on. She proceeded to start explaining, but before she could get two more words out, I exclaimed "What?!? He's not gay?" Having blurted that out, I really left my coworker with nothing to say except, "No, we went on a date and well... I don't know him really well..." Did I stop there? Of course not. I interrupted again with "Really? Oh, I just assumed he was gay... hmmm... but I guess not..." I'm sure a puzzled and skeptical look upon my face the entire time. Luckily we reached the front door and there was an abrupt end to the conversation. Who knows how long I would have gone on explaining my reasoning and possibly trying to convince her that I was in fact right.
Either way, being tipsy at this point, my faux pas didn't really faze me and I proceeded to return to the party and retell the story to a friend (note: we were in a 10'x12' studio with 6 people) - the second faux pas. Discussion ensued as I apparently was the only one who completely missed the boat and a somewhat swift exit was required on my part (swift being about 45 minutes as I had a full plastic cup of wine - not a solo cup - to consume before I could even think about vacating). Later I was told that what I had done was not considered a faux pas, but could be described more aptly as mean and bitchy. Interesting take, I guess.
I spoke again with my coworker this morning and she didn't seem bothered at all by my ridiculous display of idiocy and as it turns out, her friend stayed until she fell asleep that night. Giddy up! Maybe they'll go out again, maybe they won't.
I'd vote for the latter since he's gay.

All-rounder Priya's Bindaas Hudugi
Priya's previous venture Jambada Hudugi, directed, produced and lead role played by Priya, was a tear-jerker. But this time, she has changed the formula and come up with a more commercial film. Speaking to the media, Priya said she was disappointed in not getting any state award for Jambada Hudugi. She had worked very hard for the film and the theme also had social relevance.
Ravishanker from Mumbai is the hero of Bindaas Hudugi, produced by Priya's brother Mohan. Erra Ramesh has scored the music Sharan, Mithra, R.G. Vijayasarathy and Jayanthi are also in the cast.

New Orleans Piano Man Jon Cleary
Jon Cleary has the rare ability to transcend his geographical background. As you will learn in his interview with All Blues host, John Kessler, Cleary grew up in England and was exposed to the New Orleans sound by his uncle at a young age.
Cleary saved up enough money to visit New Orleans, planning to stay a few weeks, but 33 years later he is still there and has become one of the city's best known musicians.

Solaris 10: Ack! Where did my archive libraries go?
By Chris Quenelle on May 25, 2006
In Solaris 10 all the archive libraries in the core OS have been removed. To access these functions, you have to use the shared libraries. Rod Evans wrote about this in his blog. The change grew out of the Process Model Unification project, which is decribed in this bug.
To be more specific, there is no problem with linking application archive libraries on Solaris 10. We do it all the time int he products I work on. The change in Solaris 10 was that Solaris was no longer going to export Solaris functionality using archive libraries. That's an interface decision that Sun made because it is easier for us to keep our interfaces stable, and to keep old programs working on a newer OS.
So in general there is no problem with the basic functionality of static linking. Go ahead and keep using it, but from a build dependency point of view, if the .a file encapsulates an interface to a runtime component, it's hard to make sure the statically linked code matches the version of the runtime component. That's the problem we avoided in Solaris 10. (Read more about it in Rod's blog, linked above).

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, May 21, 2013
AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- She says it's something you can't even fathom unless you've been through it.
"I saw grass sucked out of the ground with holes left. We were told to do what they call the tornado shuffle because we didn't know if there were people's bones underneath the dirt," recalled Valli Finney.
Those are the memories from 1999 when this massive tornado ripped through Oklahoma where Finney was living at the time.
"We could see the stove pipe tornado coming toward us. It was actually on a direct line for our house. That's the only time I ever put a Bible in a safe place. Until you experience it, there's nothing you can say," she explained.
But Finney has experienced it, and as she watched the funnel of power and destruction head straight for her home, she says this is what it's like, "You're more in awe, and then as it gets closer, what keeps running through your head is please let us be safe in our safe room. All you can do is pray."
It's those thoughts that swirled through her mind as Monday's devastating twister wrecked its way through Moore, Okla.
Finney worked as a journalist in tornado alley and knows many of the first responders there.
"Worried about family. As late as midnight, I still didn't know if some of my family members were OK. When you have family who are the first responders on scene and ones who live there, it gets difficult," she said.
What's even harder, Finney says from the destruction she's seen so far, this tornado might be even worse than the one in '99.
"It's going to take months to remove the remnants. Just pray for everybody, and if you're not a praying person, think about them," she begged.
Finney says her friends and family in the area are safe tonight. She started a Facebook page called South Carolinians for Oklahoma Tornado Victims to help take up and send donations of all kinds.
She says from her experience, one of the biggest needs besides money is gloves.

Dear [[First_Name]],
Mei Xiang's den has been transformed for the new breeding season! Observant panda cam viewers have no doubt seen the difference in the configuration of the barred barriers. By shifting the angle of the bars, keepers will be able to have more direct access to Mei Xiang and future cub(s) while they are resting in the nest area. The old bars were recycled, making the renovations not only a little greener, but also a little less overwhelming for Mei Xiang. It was as if the "furniture" was simply rearranged one day.
Keepers are now working on desensitization training (getting her used to the new set up, and getting her comfortable having keepers in close proximity to her while protected by the new barrier). As we had hoped, Mei Xiang is barely fazed by the changes, and is now regularly participating in training sessions in the remodeled den.
Thank you so much for your interest in pandas and the Smithsonian's National Zoo!
Coming to D.C.? If you're looking for a great hotel for yourself, your family, or friends, book a panda hotel package with one of ten area hotels partnering with FONZ. You'll get a fabulous gift box and support giant panda conservation! Find out more.
We encourage you to take Metrorail or Metrobus to the National Zoo. Parking at the Zoo is

Although the Razr Maxx is supposed to be pretty sturdy, I am a legendary breaker-of-things and I wanted something more. I did a lot of research and looked at several different cases (in particular the Otterbox Defender series), and this one seemed to offer me the best set of features. I like that you can use just the inner, silicone sleeve (which you can buy alone – the Trident Perseus case), or you can add the outer, hard case for extra protection. I'll mostly use the whole shebang, but will have occasion to use just the silicone sleeve.
I had a little trouble getting the phone into both components with all of the controls lined up properly (it's actually three pieces: the soft sleeve, the hard outer front with screen protector, and the hard back plate with stand), but once I figured out the trick, I've been able to take it in and out with ease. The hard case has control buttons that operate the phone's power and volume buttons seamlessly, and I like that it has port covers to keep out dust and moisture. I've noticed very little difference between using the phone's touch screen naked and using it through the screen protector. This case certainly makes a sleek phone a little heftier to carry around, but that's a trade-off that's OK for me. I also like that you can add some accessories; I particularly like the idea of the windshield car mount (but I haven't used it so can't say whether it lives up to its potential). I'd be interested in the tripod mount if the Razr Maxx didn't have such a disappointing camera.
There are two things I don't like. The first is the aluminum media stand. The part that folds out is loose and often pops out a little, protruding slightly from the back of the case and making it hard to manipulate the phone in and out of pockets and holders. I understand that it's removable so that you can attach the accessories, but that doesn't prevent a design that would keep it in place. I also find it disappointing that it can only be used to prop up the phone in the horizontal position. I suspected as much from the photos, but I was hoping. If you try to stand the phone up vertically, it might stay up if you hit just the right balance on just the right surface, but it's bound to fall over. I'll need to get a separate vertical stand – I like to access the phone frequently in this position while I'm sitting at my desk and the phone is charging – and that's an irritation.
My second, bigger gripe is that they've configured the holster so that the phone can _only_ be inserted face-in. I understand why face-in is often more desirable, but it could very easily have been designed to allow insertion both face-in and face-out. Here's my use case for face-out: I use a task tracker for everything, including my shopping lists, and I really, really wanted to be able to clip the phone to my shopping cart (there are ways) so that I could view the list and check off items as I go. I walk with a cane and it's hard enough to negotiate supermarkets and mega-stores without trying to handle a phone in one hand. It's this deficiency that makes me think I should have gone with the Otterbox; you can insert the phone into its holster face-out. I'll have to investigate Trident's bike rail holder (they call it a "clip" but it's not clip-on and it only fits one particular diameter of rail), but it seems like too much overhead for taking on and off a shopping cart.
Honestly, the deciding factors for me were that I liked the Kraken's looks, especially the touch of color (I got green), and I sort of assumed the holster would work in both orientations, since Trident's literature doesn't call out the fact that it can't. Plus, it's called the "Kraken." I'm a sucker for good design and branding, plus I have a fondness for cephalopods – mythical Norse sea monsters in particular – so this product hit a sweet spot. Overall, I think it's a good case. I expect that for many people, my dislikes won't make a big difference. If you need a rugged case, this is one you should seriously consider.
P.S. There's a little intellectual dissonance in the naming of the products, which I particularly like. Perseus fought the sea monster (although not the Kraken) and won Andromeda, but here the Kraken swallows Perseus whole
Ordered this case because it was a better alternative (I thought) than the Seidio ACTIVE case, which I had already bought but disliked because of the holster design. I ripped the built-in screen protector out in favor of a Zagg protector because of the issues I had heard about the Otterbox Defender with its built-in screen protector and dust.
Unfortunately, after three or four months of use, the "T" shaped connection points on the case wore out – this morning the phone kept slipping out of its holster, and upon further inspection I saw that the case's holster clip "T" point had broken off across the top of the "T" hole. The other side was fractured and would have failed as well.
I am a very light user of the phone – in terms of abuse. I work at a white-collar, desk-based job that inflicts practically zero additional strain on the device, so it's not like I work on a construction site or something.
In my not-so-humble opinion, Trident needs a "v2.0″ of this case, where it reinforces the "T" connection point with some metal or something to prevent this kind of mechanical failure.
If it was not for this fatal flaw, I would give the case five stars. Unfortunately, since I need to put the phone on a holster, I cannot recommend this case for holstering. If you want the case for in-pocket use, I think this is one of the best cases out there.
Overall very positive experience with this case. If you're buying it for the reasons I did I'd highly recommend.
Ideal for: someone looking to have both an "around town" silicone that can be converted into a heavy duty case as necessary.
Not going to mention size, with the Kraken AMS hard case around it obviously its huge. All heavy duty cases are.
- versatility (Perseus case with Kraken AMS option, essentially)
- fit/feel of it in Perseus skin. Nice and grippy to keep phone steady.
- built in screen protector (probably overkill) much better then expected. Highly responsive and doesn't seem to kill rez as expected.
- buttons on hard case are very clicky (credit "Day Deal" reviewer for word). Highly responsive.
- ability to use without the belt clip (I don't) but still have a heavy duty case. Generally belt clips integrated on other options.
- straight headphone jacks do fit with Kraken hard case on (bent probably not)
- ability to buy new Perseus skin for either damage replacement or just color choice
- harder to get Kraken hard plastic on and off then expected (and appeared in "Day Deal" vid).
- Perseus silicone (in black) does attract lint as reported (but not excessively)
- belt clip (for those who use religiously) not being integrated seems less secure then integrated (like OB Defender)
- my kickstand is impossible to get out, really have to torque it to open. might be unit specific.
- durability. I've only had it a little while and the difficulty with the hard case (and looseness of buttons) does seem a little like there is breakage possibility. Also i haven't dropped it yet (knock wood).
Overall for those who want a regular silicone and ability to suit-up to a heavy duty this seems like a good option (maybe the only?) and at a good price point. If you're that guy/gal and don't particularly use the belt clip I think this is a really good option. Check out Day Deals video reviews; they helped. I like OB a lot and I think you could make an argument both ways; just a matter of priority. If I clipped it on a lot and always had it in the hard case I probably would have gone OB, but the versatility won me over and thus far I'm glad I went this direction.

Clergy sex-abuse crisis
Catholic laity
National Review Board
Voice of the Faithful
Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People
in the Church: Our Search for Healing
Catholics everywhere have been horrified and ashamed by the news
that some priests had sexually abused children, and some bishops
had allowed abusive priests to continue their work even after their
crimes were known. Although revelations of the sex-abuse crisis
began in the mid-1980s,
the year 2002 was a turning point. At that time it became clear
that at least some leaders had placed children in harm's way by
returning pedophiles to parish duty. The crisis was especially painful
in the Archdiocese of Boston, where Cardinal Bernard Law resigned
after several
high-profile cases of abusive priests emerged.
How can the Catholic Church begin to recover from the effects of
this crisis? A first step is understanding who has been affected
by clergy sexual abuse and who can help lead the Church on a path
toward healing.
People who have been sexually abused in childhood often suffer
from long-term, damaging effects. According to the Survivors
Healing Center, these effects include fear, depression, self-destructive
behaviors, low self esteem, feelings of confusion, sexual acting
out behaviors, nightmares, hostility, phobias, antisocial behavior,
and socialization problems. Abuse
at the hands of a priest can be even more difficult to overcome,
because the victims often view the priest as a representative of
Still, many survivors are able to go beyond their past abuse to
lead fulfilling lives. Many find support groups such as the Survivors
Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP) and The
Linkup - Survivors of Clergy Sexual Abuse. Other factors
that help survivors heal are telling an adult soon after the
abuse, receiving prompt treatment and seeing their abusers punished
quickly. Those whose families are unsupportive, abusive or chaotic
and victims who carry the secret for years or who are not believed
tend to do worse.
and other family members
It is common for parents of sexual-abuse survivors to feel guilt,
confusion, shame and anger when they learn that their child
was abused. When the abuser is a priest, some parents feel even
more guilty or angry because they trusted the priest and considered
him a member of the family.
some instances, abusive priests targeted families in which the
father was absent or unavailable, and the mother looked to the priest
to be a role model for her children. In other cases, the parents
were happily married and very devoted Catholics, so devoted that
they would never question a priest's desire to spend time with their
children. "The parents were the victims, also," one mother
told the
Boston Globe. "It's never-ending pain, like a scab that
falls off and doesn't heal."
Research has provided us with clues that parents can use to look
for signs that their child might have been sexually abused. Clues
include depression, secretiveness, problems sleeping, nightmares,
refusal to go to school, aggressiveness and other severe behavioral
changes. To
prevent abuse, parents should tell children not to allow other
people to touch their bodies in a way that makes them uncomfortable;
teach children that respecting adults doesn't always mean doing
everything they say; and encourage schools to have professional
prevention programs.
and bishops
Fewer than two percent of Catholic priests have ever been accused
of abusing children, but many felt they have been under a cloud
of suspicion since the clergy sex-abuse scandal emerged. As a result,
many felt demoralized and powerless, especially in dioceses such
as Boston,
where the scandal was the greatest. Many found themselves angry
at offending priests and at bishops who covered up crimes; others
had to reassure anxious parishioners and even reexamine their own
practices to remove any cause for doubt.
At the same time, some were concerned that the rights
of priests were being pushed aside in the rush to find and punish
abusive priests. In several cases, accusers withdrew their charges
after a priest's name had been made public, and others complained
that dioceses were too quick to suspend priests when an allegation
was made.
Priests in organizations such as the National Federation of Priests'
Councils (NFPC) and the Conference of Major Superiors of Men (CMSM)
called for policies
that protect both children and innocent priests. They apologized
to survivors of clergy sexual abuse and backed punishment for abusive
priests. But in the case of CMSM, they opposed plans to kick abusers
out of the priesthood, saying they could better protect children
by keeping offenders in a closely supervised environment.
While many priests were under suspicion because of the crisis,
American bishops became the object of anger for Catholics and non-Catholics
alike. Some victims sued bishops who returned pedophile priests
to active duty, and others were forced to give testimony in front
of grand juries. While Cardinal
Law of Boston was the best-known American prelate to resign,
there were calls for several others
to resign as well. The bishops worked
to restore the trust of Catholics by creating a Charter
for the Protection of Children and Young People, an Office
of Child and Youth Protection, and a National
Review Board of prominent lay Catholics to monitor the new office.
The sex-abuse crisis that unfolded in 2002 energized the Catholic
laity in ways that previous scandals in the mid-80s and early 90s
did not. As with so much else in the crisis, the epicenter was in
Boston, where anger led to the formation of Voice
of the Faithful, a lay-led group that advocated change in the
But Voice of the Faithful, which had 30,000 members by the end
of the year, was not the only way in which Catholics protested against
the crisis. Some formed local
advocacy groups, while many others withheld their donations
to the Church in an effort
to force reforms.
