On March 11th, Japan experienced its most powerful earthquake ever to hit the country, which triggered a devastating tsunami that set off warnings as far away as the western coast of the United States and South America.
In the days that have followed, death estimates have soared, and as the nation struggles with a search and rescue effort, it also faces the worst nuclear emergency since Chernobyl.
"When there is a significant disaster in the news, such as the recent devastating effects of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, special attention must be paid to our children to help them cope with and understand what has happened," explained Pediatrician Laurie Penix, M.D.
"A tragedy of the magnitude experienced in Japan can be overwhelming for most adults. However, the devastating effects of a disaster can have even more of a psychological impact on a child, who hasn't learned fully how to deal with the fears, grief and overall feelings that such a tragedy evokes. The devastating effects of a disaster can have a tremendous psychological impact on those directly or indirectly involved.
"Viewing images of a natural disaster, such as the tsunami tragedy, might be especially distressing for children, since much of the news coverage of these events has included video and photos of dead bodies, lost children and separated families," Dr. Penix continued. "The vividness of a sensational news story may be internalized by children and transformed into something that they worry may happen to them."
How a child deals with a tragic event depends a great deal on his or her age, level of understanding and overall temperament. "For younger children, especially toddlers and preschool age children, it may be best to just insulate your child from the events," she advised. "Turn off the television or restrict access to channels that show news coverage from the disaster. Many pictures on TV are too graphic for younger children."
Younger children also often have 'magical thinking' and may believe that they did something to cause or influence the event. Make sure your child understands that he didn't do anything to cause what happened. He or she may also have a hard time telling the difference between fantasy and reality, and may not understand that the 'news' is real.
"If your younger child has a question about the tragedy, try to provide age appropriate information," Dr. Penix suggested. "If you think your child wants more details, consider asking a follow up question or wait for him or her to ask for additional information. However, it is important that your children feel like they have the ability to talk about their fears and worries if needed.
"While older children will likely have more questions and may want to talk about the 'reasons' for what happened, you shouldn't assume that your child wants a lot of details. It is usually better to find out what your child already knows about the event, ask open-ended questions and follow your child's cues. Even older children should not be allowed to watch news coverage of a disaster by themselves, and should be accompanied by an adult, who can help interpret and discuss the events with them.
"In addition, a child who is already fearful and anxious may have a harder time understanding or coping with a disaster or tragic event than other children," Dr. Penix advised. "Also, a child that has dealt with a recent loss, such as a death in the family, a divorce or other trauma will frequently have more difficulty in coping with a tragic situation."
Coping Strategies
There are steps that parents and caregivers can take to help their families lessen the mental health impact of a disaster.
- Keep informed about new information and developments, but avoid overexposure to news rebroadcasts of the events. Watch the news with your kids to filter inappropriate or frightening stories. Anticipate when guidance will be necessary and avoid shows that aren't appropriate for your child's age or level of development. If you're uncomfortable with the content of the news or if it's inappropriate for your child's age, turn it off.
- Keep an open dialogue with your children regarding their fear of danger or the disaster. Children look to the significant adults in their lives for guidance on how to manage their reactions. Let them know that in time, the tragedy will pass.
- Put news stories in proper context. Showing that certain events are isolated or explaining how one event relates to another can help kids make better sense of what they hear. Broaden the discussion from a disturbing news item to a larger conversation: Use the story of a natural disaster as an opportunity to talk about philanthropy, cooperation, and the ability of people to cope with overwhelming hardship.
- Emphasize your child's resiliency and identify what he has done in the past that helped him cope when he was frightened or upset. Children with strong emotional support from others are better able to cope with adversity.
- Talk about what you can do to help. In the case of a news event like a natural disaster, children may gain a sense of control and feel more secure if they can find ways to help those who have been affected.
"Parents need to be aware that their reactions to a global event can affect their children," Dr. Penix concluded. "If you express anger and stress about a world event that's beyond your control, your kids are likely to react in a similar way. But if you express your concern by taking a proactive approach to make a positive difference, your kids will feel more optimistic and empowered to do the same."

Sorry I don't have an answer but I am using Mag oil transdermally and have been having a terrible time with heart palpitations... so I'll be watching this thread.
Can I just sound out anyone who knows about magnesium/supplementing before I talk this through with my doctor next week?
A couple of times recently I've used Dead Sea mud face/body masks (mainly magnesium chloride) before bed. I used to use these a few years ago and just remember feeling relaxed and sleeping well. This time round I used far less than previously but each time had quite a dramatic reaction.
The first time I felt great, slept deeply and then felt completely dopey for at least 24 hours afterwards. Basically I felt as if I'd been anaesthetised. I also developed a bit of a lump in my throat and a slight hand tremor, both of which went away. On the following day I felt very jittery and anxious and was aware of my heart beating faster, but I wasn't sure if this was related.
A week later, I used it again and was suddenly wide awake way into the night, then slept OK but for the next 48 hours felt jittery and anxious and had an intermittently racing heart.
Does anyone know if this is likely to be an indication of an existing magnesium deficiency? I'm assuming the jittery feeling indicates some kind of electrolyte imbalance, but it's as if after using the magnesium I'm temporarily showing visible symptoms of a magnesium deficiency, when I'm not otherwise. I've got a chronic B12 deficiency and know that when I get my B12 injections I usually feel worse for the first day, so I wondered if this was something similar.
Backstory: I'm female, 47, with pernicious anaemia (diagnosed 2008: primary symptoms fatigue and peripheral neuropathy), but suspect it's more of a gluten-related malabsorption issue as I'm dramatically better on a gluten-free diet, though I tested negative for coeliac. I still get tired and have real problems with recovery after exercise and am also low in D3, which I'm supplementing.
It's just made me think that if my guts won't absorb B12 there may be all sorts of other things I'm not absorbing either and maybe I should be looking at transdermal supplementing more deliberately.
Sorry I don't have an answer but I am using Mag oil transdermally and have been having a terrible time with heart palpitations... so I'll be watching this thread.
Don't have an answer but bumping for others to see.
I do the Mag oil at night on my skin. I find that sometimes it burns but I think it does that because my skin is dry (dry skin=microscopic cuts=salt in cut pain). I've also noticed lately that I'll fall asleep super fast or ended up wide awake all night. Don't know if that's the magnesium or diet.
Thanks for the replies. If it's any use I found this old thread which is quite similar, though they're not using it on the skin.
I find it hard to believe that I'm overdosing on magnesium - apart from dark chocolate I don't have that many foods with it in - so it seems likely that I'm short. But I wonder if the transdermal approach is just far more intense, so you get a strong reaction?
Since posting I had a leg cramp one night, which I suppose could be related. I've now started taking a multivitamin with 40% of the RDA and will have a go at doing the transdermal thing in a much more limited way and see if that gets me used to it.
I wonder if people are swimming around in the Dead Sea having palpitations?

In Brief: Erie back in lead for snowiest city ... barely
Erie again leads snow derby -- for now
There's some debate about whether this is a contest we want to win. But at least for now, Erie ranks as the snowiest city of 100,000 or more in the United States.
That's according to the Golden Snow Globe National Snow Contest, which records Erie snowfall for the season at 130.7 inches.
If being buried beneath nearly 11 feet of snow is the sort of thing that would make you want to celebrate, don't celebrate just yet. Syracuse, N.Y., trailed Erie by just three-tenths of an inch as of Monday evening. In other words, Erie's title isn't safe yet.
Buffalo is third on the list with 121 inches.
77-year-old held on burglary, threats counts
ALBION -- A 77-year-old Albion man is in the Erie County Prison, facing charges he broke into a Conneaut Township home Sunday morning.
Harry E. Haskin is being held on charges of burglary, criminal trespass, terroristic threats and stalking. He was arraigned by District Judge Mark Krahe, who set bail at $25,000.
Police claim Haskin entered a woman's home through an unlocked garage door and was confronted by the owner of the home at about 4 a.m. as he climbed the basement stairs. The woman told police Haskin was holding a flashlight and a large kitchen knife.
Gunfire report leads to bag of marijuana
Erie police are investigating a gunfire incident that led to the seizure of a bag of marijuana late Sunday.
Police said Monday that they were called to the 1200 block of East Ninth Street at about 11:30 p.m. after someone reported hearing three gunshots. Officers who responded did not find any shell casings or other evidence of a shooting, but they did find a bag of marijuana in the street where the shooting was reported, police said.
Veterans Expo to be held at Conneaut Lake
CONNEAUT LAKE -- Veterans and their families are invited to a free Veterans Expo in Conneaut Lake on Thursday.
Vendors will provide information about programs, services and products for men and women who served in the armed forces. Participants will include the Pennsylvania Soldiers' & Sailors' Home, the Meadville clinic of the Erie Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the Edinboro University of Pennsylvania Veterans Success Center.
The 4-6 p.m. event, hosted by state Rep. Greg Lucas, of Edinboro, R-5th Dist., will be at Conneaut Lake Fire Department Station 3, 11877 Conneaut Lake Road.

Please note that the date and location of this conference has changed. The conference will now be held at the University of Newcastle, Newcastle, Australia on the 4th and 5th December 2013.
The theme of the 2013 conference will be "Reconstructing a Full Employment Narrative". The global economy is still stuck in the aftermath of the worst economic crisis in 80 years and the legacy has been tens of millions remaining unemployed, a large proportion of productive capacity lying idle, and vast quantities of output and income foregone and lost forever. The downturn is now into its' fifth year and large economies such as the Eurozone and Britain are back in recession as fiscal austerity undermines their nascent recoveries.
The political landscape seems divorced from the reality that on-going recession is extremely costly and prolonged unemployment, especially high youth joblessness, has inter-generational effects. Instead of creating jobs, governments are seeking ways to undermine the labour markets by imposing fiscal austerity at a time when private spending is still mostly weak.
The Conference will seek to explore the apparent contradictions of the policy stances that are now entrenched and causing the prolonged global unemployment crisis.

Twenty kilometres east across the mountains, straggling along the side of a deep bay, STARI GRAD is more laid-back and family-oriented than Hvar Town, although it is getting gradually more popular with the yachting fraternity and can be quite lively in high season. The narrow streets of central Stari Grad are as atmospheric as anywhere in the Adriatic: a warren of low stone houses bedecked with window boxes, and narrow alleyways suddenly opening out onto small squares.
The fertile plain stretching south and west of Stari Grad has recently been added to the UNESCO World Heritage list, as it is one of the few places in Europe where the ancient Greek system of field division has been preserved almost unchanged. With olive groves and vineyards divided by a grid of dry stone walls and country lanes, it is easily explored on foot or by bike.

Foothills Food Bank Bigger and Better
Wednesday 1.30.2013 @ 5:33pm | ImagesAZ | Community
The Foothills Food Bank and Resource Center has purchased a new 5,000-square-foot facility at 6038 E. Hidden Valley Rd., Cave Creek to better serve the more than 9,000 individuals and families in the northern desert foothills area. In order to pay for its new home, the food bank has launched a $500,000 capital funding campaign.
According to executive director Pam DiPietro, the food bank had to expand from its former 2,000-square-foot facility to continue servicing its clients and their needs.
'We all have been affected by the recession in recent years and the people in our community have felt the impact of this economy more than many," says DiPietro. "We have an increased number of individuals who live in their cars or in the desert. We also have food bank customers from very affluent areas. The recession has reached far and wide, sparing few in its path. Since 2008, our client base has increased by 486 percent. We currently have more than 400 volunteers who help keep the food bank doors open."
Credible estimates are that the food bank's future operating location will allow it to serve families, individuals and seniors and to provide adequate food storage. Funds from the campaign will cover the purchase cost of the facility so the permanent home of the Foothills Food Bank and Resource Center can maintain its Cave Creek base, as nearly 40 percent of the food bank's customers are from the Cave Creek/Carefree area.
Renovations have begun and food bank personnel expect to occupy the facility in May 2013, in time for the organization's 25th anniversary. Donations can be made at www.foothillsfoodbank/capital-campaign or a check made out to Foothills Food Bank can be sent to: PO Box 715, Carefree, AZ, 85377.

Legally, adoption means surrendering your right to parent your child and giving someone else the permission to take on the legal right and responsibility of parenting your child. Adoption isn't giving away your child, giving up on your child, or selling your child. It is making a plan for your child's care when you are unable to care for your baby yourself.

When diabetic retinopathy is clinically of slight or moderate degree, its presence and site, rather than its extent, determine the prognosis for vision, a study at the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford, England, indicates.
Results of the study were reported to the fifth congress of the International Diabetes Federation at Toronto by F. I. Caird, DM, Oxford.
The study involved 120 patients with a total of 209 eyes exhibiting diabetic retinopathy. The patients were selected on the basis of three criteria: (1) each had undergone one or more observations following the one at which diabetic retinopathy was diagnosed; (2) in affected eyes, visual acuity at the first relevant observation was 6/60 or better; (3) there was no other condition which might affect visual acuity.
Observations were also made of a control group of 169 diabetics without retinopathy who were observed by the same ophthalmologists under the same conditions.

To the Editor:—"
Treatment of Malignant Pleural Effusion by Talc Poudrage," by George J. Haupt and others, in The Journal, Feb. 27, page 918, has caught my attention. I believe that the procedure described is absolutely unnecessary. We now have such adequate chemotherapeutic agents as nitrogen mustard or thio-TEPA which will accomplish the same purpose more effectively. In addition, repeated injections of these drugs will cause far less morbidity and give much better results than any method involving thoracotomy.

BOSTON (AP) - There goes another No. 2.
Geno Hayes returned Matt Ryan's third interception for a 38-yard touchdown with 1:10 to play on Saturday night to help Florida State beat second-ranked Boston College 27-17, ending the Eagles' run at an unbeaten season and shaking up the BCS standings yet again.
With the loss by BC (8-1, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), only Ohio State, Kansas and Hawaii remain unbeaten. A handful of one-loss teams - LSU, Oregon and Oklahoma among them - had their hopes for reaching the Bowl Championship Series title game aided by Florida State. LSU will probably take second-place behind Ohio State in the BCS standings when they come out Sunday.
"This does not deter us from what we want to do," BC coach Jeff Jagodzinski said, "and that's win the ACC championship."
The No. 2 team in The Associated Press Top 25 lost three consecutive weeks before Boston College took over the second spot on Oct. 21 and held on with a comeback victory over Virginia Tech last week. Southern California, California and South Florida were the others to lose as No. 2.
Drew Weatherford completed 29-of-45 passes for 354 yards for Florida State (6-3, 3-3), hitting Preston Parker nine times for 93 yards and a touchdown and De'Cody Fagg on six catches for 111 yards and a TD.
Ryan finished 25-for-53 for two touchdowns and 415 yards - his fourth career 400-yard game, tying Doug Flutie for the most in school history.
But his interceptions were costly.
"One of the things you can't do, I don't care what level you're on, you can't turn the ball over," Jagodzinski said. "We had four."
Ryan was picked off once in the first quarter inside the Seminoles 10. He also threw an interception early in the third that allowed Florida State to move into position for a 40-yard field goal that made it 10-0.
It was the second consecutive game BC trailed 10-0 before mounting a rally: The Eagles spotted Virginia Tech a two-score lead on Oct. 25 before Ryan threw two touchdown passes in the final 2:11 to vault himself into the Heisman Trophy conversation.
This time, he had more than 20 minutes to work with.
"You can never count out Matt Ryan and BC," Weatherford said. "I was nervous the whole time. He's a great player, he's led his team back before and I knew he could do it again. I was nervous until the final play."
Ryan led BC on a four-play, 70-yard drive over 63 seconds, hitting Ryan Purvis for 26 yards to the Florida State 30, and then Brandon Robinson for the touchdown. The teams traded field goals, then Weatherford hit Fagg on a 42-yard touchdown pass to give the Seminoles a 20-10 lead.
Ryan hit Rich Gunnell on a 42-yard pass to the Florida State 6 with 7:24 left. Two plays later, including a penalty that moved the ball to the 3, Ryan hit a wide-open Purvis in the middle of the end zone to make it 20-17.
BC forced a punt and got the ball back at its own 7 with 3:30 left and a chance to take the lead.
"I was excited," Ryan said. "As soon as they stopped them, and forced the punt, they gave us another chance to go out there and win the game."
Ryan moved the Eagles out to the 33 before Hayes ripped the ball free from Purvis on a pass across the middle and went easily into the end zone.
"This is the fourth game that we've been ahead at the half and we've lost two of them," Seminoles coach Bobby Bowden said. "I thought we were going to make enough mistakes to lose it at the end."
The game began in a frigid and soaking downpour, with wind gusts forecast at up to 50 mph as the remnants of Hurricane Noel proceeded up the East Coast. The rain had stopped by the end of the first quarter, but the winds battered the U.S. flag and played havoc with a couple of second-quarter field goal attempts.
"Everybody believed, until the very end, that we could pull it out at the end, after what Matt did last week," BC linebacker Mark Herzlich said. "Hayes made a great play and sealed the deal."
Robinson caught seven passes for 163 yards for BC, fighting off a grabby defender to make a beautiful diving catch for 38 yards to the Seminoles 6 midway through the fourth quarter. But the Eagles, trailing 13-7 at the time moved backward on penalties and managed only a field goal.
Weatherford answered with a two-play, 61-yard drive that took just 41 seconds before Fagg ran 42 yards into the end zone to make it 20-10.

Lot # 935 (of 1673) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
Roderick Wallace, Ray Schalk, and Sam Rice Signed Hall of Fame Black-and-White Postcards (3)
Starting Bid - $500.00 , Sold For - $1,292.50
This collection of three signed Hall of Fame black-and-white postcards is highlighted by the inclusion of a rare Roderick Wallace example. Incredibly, we actually discovered these three signed cards during the processing of a large collection of unsigned black-and-white postcards (offered elswhere in this auction). Our consignor, a collector for many decades, had no idea these three signed gems were among his Hall of Fame postcards! 1) Wallace has signed the Artvue card "Roderick J. Wallace" in blue fountain pen on the front, and has also added the inscription, "Thank you Loren and all Good Wishes – R. J. W.," on the reverse. The front signature grades "7." The reverse inscription is extremely bold and grades "9/10." Wallace was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1953 and passed away in 1960, leaving collectors just a short seven-year "window" in which to obtain his signature on a Hall of Fame postcard. The postcard has a tiny crease in the lower right corner and three stray pencil notations on the reverse. In Very Good to Excellent condition overall. 2-3) Sam Rice and Ray Schalk have signed the remaining two Artvue cards, respectively. Rice has signed his card in black ink on the front. Although the signature is quite bold, grading "9," the placement of it in the center of the card (his normal area of signing) has resulted in its contrasting poorly against the dark background. Schalk has inscribed his card in blue ink, "To Charles – Chicago Apr 29th=63," along the top border. At the bottom he has added "Sincerely Ray Schalk." Both the inscription and signature grade "10." The Rice and Schalk signed cards each have minor pencil notations on the reverse and are otherwise in Excellent to Mint condition. Total 3 signed black-and-white Hall of Fame postcards. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+. SOLD FOR $1,292.50

Featured Golf News
Superintendent Has Chambers Bay Ready for U.S. Amateur
Superintendent David Wienecke has Chambers Bay in University Place, Wash., prepared a long, fast and firm test on fine fescue grass for the U.S. Amateur. The event will be played for the first time ever on the relatively new municipal course August 23-29.
"The 110th U.S. Amateur being conducted this year at Chambers Bay is sure to be both memorable and unique," said Mike Davis, USGA senior director of rules and competition. "Only a small percentage of national championships played in the last century have been conducted on courses where fine fescue is the predominant grass, and only a handful have been played on fine fescue putting greens. Managing fine fescue takes a special set of agronomic skills. Dave Wienecke is a true specialist in this field. He is a wonderfully dedicated superintendent who surely will prepare Chambers Bay to the highest standards for this country's oldest golf championship."
Chambers Bay is a 7,754-yard, par 71 links-style layout that involves massive dunes and sprawling waste areas alongside Puget Sound. It was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., Bruce Charlton and Jay Blasi, and built in 2006 by Heritage Links on the site of a former sand and gravel mine. It features fine fescue grass wall-to-wall, with the rough at 3½ inches high and 6-plus inches tall in the dunes. The fairways range in width from approximately 28 to 105 yards, and the smooth, firm greens are rolling 10-11 feet on the Stimpmeter. At 7,754 yards, Chambers Bay will be the longest course to ever host a USGA championship. Chambers Bay will also host the 2015 U.S. Open.
"Everything is looking great and it is really, really firm," said Wienecke, a 15-year GCSAA member. "We are right on track with our preparations and have the golf course right where we want it."
Chambers Bay is a public works project undertaken and owned by the residents of Pierce County, Wash. It is the first municipal course to host the U.S. Amateur. Like its model of many towns in Scotland that built golf courses for the public recreation of their citizens, Chambers Bay is part of a larger park system complete with walking paths that wind around and through the dunes on the course beside Puget Sound.
Wienecke (pronounced win-eck-E) has a bachelor's degree in general science from the University of Oregon, a master's degree in horticulture from Oregon State University and is a Certified Professional Agronomist. He has been at Chambers Bay for five years and was previously a USGA Green Section regional agronomist. Wienecke has Chambers Bay certified as a Silver Signature Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.
The Home Course in DuPont, Wash., is the assisting course for the U.S. Amateur and, along with Chambers Bay, will host two rounds of stroke play August 23-24, following two days of practice rounds. After the field of 312 is pared to 64 golfers, Chambers Bay will host five days of match play August 25-29.
The Home Course, with its rolling ryegrass fairways, contoured bentgrass greens and a minimum of water and trees will play to 7,317 yards and par 72. It opened three years ago at the same time as Chambers Bay and also provides views of Puget Sound. The Home Course hosted the Sahalee Players Championship the first week of August on behalf of Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Wash., which hosted the U.S. Senior Open July 29-August 1. It also serves as a venue for junior golf programs, caddie programs, environmental stewardship and turfgrass research, some Washington State Golf Association (WSGA) and Pacific Northwest Golf Association (PNGA) championships and USGA national championship sectional qualifiers.
"We are very happy with the position the golf course is in right now," said Kelly Donaldson, GCSAA superintendent at the Home Course. "We recovered from the Sahalee Players Championship just fine and will reduce irrigation advance week to get green speeds up to 13. We're on a sandy gravel base, so it's generally pretty firm and it won't take much to keep the fairways rolling."
Donaldson is a 14-year GCSAA member and has a bachelor's degree in crop science from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. He has the Home Course registered in the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program and is working toward Audubon certification. Donaldson is involved with the Washington State University extension office, doing research studies at the Home Course on transitioning from synthetic to organic fertilizers.

I've never usually had pets, there'd be the random fish I'd get, and that ended pretty quickly (killed itself and jumped out.) but I now have a dog.
I really dislike it because I think it was the worst thing I could end up with, I don't talk to it, however, I think that's even patronising animals. Nah, I don't pay attention to my dog at all.
I love you, Adam.

I do. There is nothing totally wrong with doing that. I love talking to my dogs.
I talk to my dog all the time....
Because she does exactly what I say. I can even get her to drop food out of her mouth mid chew or get near something she is afraid of. She pees and poops on command as well (that was the best thing I EVER taught her)

In a game that they had to win, the Baltimore Ravens came up way short on Sunday. The Cleveland Browns were the far superior team, and the Ravens had no business being in the game at the end.
As has been the case all year, Baltimore started slowly and fell behind early. The secondary was exposed by Jason Campbell, who had a great day and led the Browns to victory.
The offensive line was once again a huge concern, leading to a foundering running game and a hurried Joe Flacco.
Penalties and poor play cost the Ravens the game, and it may have cost them their chance to make the playoffs.
Here are the most important takeaways from a game that the Ravens and their fans will want to forget.

HONOLULU (AP) - A Hawaii woman who ran an escort service said in a civil lawsuit that a federal agent entrapped her in a methamphetamine case, forced her to be his informant and sexually assaulted her.
The lawsuit filed in state court March 27 said that a special agent for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arranged a drug deal that led to the woman's arrest. The lawsuit says that after her arrest, the agent told her she could avoid incarceration at Honolulu's Federal Detention Center if she acted as his informant.
The lawsuit also says the agent sexually assaulted her while she was handcuffed to a table in the Honolulu office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the agent forced her to live with a convicted felon and rapist to get information that could lead to his arrest.
The Associated Press doesn't identify those who say they've been sexually assaulted. The AP isn't naming the agent because he hasn't been charged criminally. Reached at his office last week, he declined to comment on the allegations. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman said the agency doesn't comment on pending litigation.
The agent isn't being sued in his official capacity, and his employer isn't named as a defendant.
When asked why the woman hadn't notified police of the sex assault, her attorney, Gary Dubin said she doesn't believe authorities are inclined to help her.
The agent signed the criminal complaint in the woman's ongoing federal meth distribution case. She was sent to the Federal Detention Center after she allegedly violated conditions that allowed her to remain at a halfway house. She's accused of communicating with someone at the halfway house she wasn't allowed to communicate with, Dubin said.
"She denies that she committed any violation," he said.

What are We Comparing in Comparative Negligence?
Paul H. Edelman
Vanderbilt University - Law School
Washington University Law Review, Vol. 85, 2007
Vanderbilt Law and Economics Research Paper No. 06-20
In tort cases, comparative negligence now is the dominant method for determining damages. Under that method, the jury apportions fault among the parties and assesses damages in proportion to the relative fault assessment. Comparative negligence contrasts with contributory negligence, where any fault attributed to the plaintiff bars recovery.
Although comparative negligence routinely governs in tort cases, its most basic feature remains uncertain: how to apportion fault. In this Article, I demonstrate that at least two different methods exist, and that these methods lead to radically different outcomes. I create a framework, building on a traditional model from law and economics, to determine when each applies. I argue that the applicable method varies with the nature of care and the relationship between care and expected damage. This framework will organize and reshape comparative negligence determination.

They've been denying it for weeks, but the truth was too hot to hide: Jamie Kennedy has confirmed that he's dating his Ghost Whisperer costar Jennifer Love Hewitt on Ryan Seacrest's radio show Friday.
"I'm in love and I don't care," the actor told Seacrest. Kennedy said the couple are not engaged but share a bond he described as "more than love."
"I thought it was something I would find in my 40s," Kennedy, 38, told Seacrest. "It's like, 'Wow, you are hot. You can sing, you can dance, you're, like, so smart and, wow, you can cook pasta fagioli too.' "
As recently as the night of the Academy Awards on Feb. 22, when Kennedy attended a party hosted by Hewitt, the two seemed cordial but not cozy, according to an eyewitness, and Hewitt, 30, said she was single. In January, the actress had announced she and her fiance Ross McCall had broken up over the holidays.
Hewitt's rep declined to comment.

In fact, handsome Hamm told PEOPLE at Mad Men's season 4 premiere in Hollywood Tuesday night, he and Fox's House star Hugh Laurie have a plan of attack should Breaking Bad leading man Bryan Cranston again cop the Best Actor Emmy.
"Hugh and I have a feeling that we're going to get together after this year's Emmys and just beat the s--- out of Bryan Cranston," says Hamm, 39. "That's what is going to happen, and we'll just distract him somehow, because he's very fit."
Come the Aug. 29 ceremony, Hamm promises, "Both Hugh and I are very, very creative and very intelligent, so we will come up with some way to do that that will be untraceable to us ... although my saying it out loud to the press may have ruined our plan."
While Hamm may have yet to snag an Emmy, his show has been far from lacking in the awards department. So far, it has collected nine Emmys and five Golden Globes – and is the first basic cable series to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series, a feat it pulled off in 2008 and 2009.
Asked to name his favorite Emmy moment, Hamm cites "the first time we won the Emmy, it was so unexpected for us, and so surprising, and shocking, and thrilling, and so difficult to process, really."
As he recalls, "It was right at the end of the [Emmy telecast], and they were horribly over time, and everyone wants you to get up and get off, and we were just wandering around like school kids, and it was tremendously exciting for all of us."

Lockheed Martin has announced that its first liquefied natural gas (LNG) tank has transitioned from the assembly line to the shipyard for integration with a Wärtsilä LNG propulsion system.
The LNG tank, built with US steel, weights 250 000 lbs. It will be used for marine applications under contract to Wärtsila for Harvey Gulf International Marine LLC, a marine transportation company based in New Orleans.
The LNG tank will be installed in Harvey Gulf's LNG-powered offshore support vessel, which is currently under construction at Gulf Coast Shipyard Group in Gulfport, Mississippi.
Lockheed Martin is committed to expanding the use of LNG tanks for marine applications and land-based storage. The company expects interest in cryogenic tanks to increase as the LNG market segments continue to mature and the infrastructure is put in place to support the safety of operating, transporting and bunkering of cryogenic fuels. This LNG tank is the first in a series of cryogenic tanks that the company will produce.
Vincent Sica, Vice President at Lockheed Martin Information Systems & Global Solutions, said: "We are constantly looking for ways to innovate and leverage proven advanced technologies in different industries and our first LNG tank is a great example of this synergy."

From the term rofl (Rolling On the Floor Laughing), roflcopter describes rolling on the floor laughing so hard your legs begin moving, causing your horizontal body to turn in a clockwise (or counterclockwise) motion, much like the rotating blades on a helicopter.

• Delusions, depression, and hallucinations were assessed in 30 patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) and 15 with multi-infarct dementia (MID). The nature and prevalence of delusions did not distinguish DAT from MID: delusions were present at the time of examination in 30% of patients with DAT and in 40% of patients with MID, and had occurred at some time in the course of the illness in half the patients of each diagnostic group. Delusions were primarily paranoid in type and involved elementary misbeliefs concerning theft or infidelity. Depression was significantly more common in MID than DAT. Seventeen percent of patients with DAT had depressive symptoms; none with severe depression were identified. Four of 15 patients with MID exhibited major depressive episodes and 60% manifested depressive symptoms. Depression and delusions were not deducted in patients with severe dementia. Hallucinations occurred in both diagnostic groups but were not common: one patient with DAT and one with MID had auditory hallucinations, and three patients with MID had visual hallucinations.

Did you know Chad had the ring with him?
Stephanie: He was acting funny before we left. We had talked about marriage. We knew immediately after meeting that we wanted to be together forever. But I didn't think he'd have the guts to propose on The Race.
Did you ever reconsider your plan?
Chad: Early on we struggled, had a tough time and I second-guessed myself. I was so amped up and we fought a lot. But once we started loosening up and letting go, especially me, I realized we're still soul mates and the perfect opportunity presented itself in Oman. With the sun coming up over the ocean, you couldn't ask for a better spot to ask the love of your life to marry you.
Stephanie: He claimed it wasn't his style to do it on TV, but I think he was feeling pressured. I love our story. I don't know anyone who can say, "We got engaged on a reality TV show in the Middle East."
Did The Race change your relationship?
CHAD: Ultimately, it made us so much stronger. Stephanie already knew I have a quick temper. But I proved to her that I learned I can't be so demanding and that sometimes I need to take a step back. We know we can take on anything now. At the end of the day, we still love each other despite some of the things I said and did on The Race.
Stephanie: It was like couples therapy every night. We would talk without cameras around about what we would have changed about the leg. The stuff that happens behind closed doors is what heals us and makes us a better couple.
And you're already married?Stephanie: We were going to get married in March, but we didn't see the point in waiting because I'm three months pregnant and due in June. In fact we're driving back from Ponte Vedra Beach [in Florida], where we had a small wedding at a friend's house.
Congratulations are in order.
Stephanie: I'm still getting used to saying it out loud. This has been a whirlwind, but it's very us and we're very happy.
Anything you would do differently on The Race? Perhaps not go eat?
Chad: I got really relaxed. I told Stephanie, "We're going to be fine. We're all on the same flight so let's not stress. Let's go have some Dairy Queen." I wish I would have fought a little harder and waited it out to get the earlier tickets.
The call of the Blizzard is hard to resist.
Stephanie: I mean, it was a good Blizzard. But if you think about it, it was the most expensive Blizzard we've ever ordered.

Pet motto: I was playing with him one day and he was under the bed, when he came out he was dragging both rear legs, he couldn't move the back half of his body. I'm not sure what it's called, but he had a major blood clot in his rear side that caused it. After taking him to two different vets I had to have him put down. He was perfectly fine, but couldn't walk or go to litter box, he could only drag himself around. SO SAD!!! He was a VERY BEAUTIFUL cat! November 2002 - October 2007

New faces, same old stakes for Ravens and Steelers
PITTSBURGH -- Byron Leftwich stared into the sea of cameras and started to laugh.
It'd been awhile -- a long while -- since the Pittsburgh Steelers' backup quarterback found himself thrust into the spotlight.
Yet three years after he last started a game and six years after he won one, the former first-round draft pick will take the snaps when the streaking Steelers (6-3) host the Baltimore Ravens (7-2) today with first place in the AFC North on the line.
Watching good friend and teammate Ben Roethlisberger go down with a sprained right shoulder and dislocated rib isn't the way Leftwich wanted to step back into the spotlight.
Still, it's what the 32-year-old signed up for when he decided to re-sign with the Steelers last summer rather than try and revive his career as a starter elsewhere.
Leftwich relishes the opportunity to get back on the field.
The end of life in relative anonymity?
Not so much.
"I joke with Ben all the time, I don't miss this part of being a quarterback in the NFL," Leftwich said. "All those conference calls, all those interviews. I tell him all the time I don't really miss that part of it."
Maybe, but he better get used to it.
Roethlisberger is out indefinitely, the latest familiar face to be rendered a highly paid bystander to one of the league's most heated rivalries. The Steelers will also be without star safety Troy Polamalu, who will miss his sixth straight game with a right calf injury, while Baltimore captain Ray Lewis remains on the injured reserve-return list with a torn triceps.
"It's definitely going to be different, a different feel," Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs said. "But once that whistle blows and the bullets become live, I don't expect anything less than traditional Ravens/Steelers."
Suggs admitted he's "disappointed" he won't get a chance to chase after Roethlisberger, though he'll find Leftwich to be a more stationary target. The big-armed seventh overall pick in the 2003 draft hasn't started since playing three forgettable losses with Tampa Bay in 2009. His last victory in a game in which he took the first offensive snap came on Oct. 8, 2006, when Jacksonville crushed the New York Jets.
"I haven't heard that," Leftwich said. "Really?"
It's been even longer since the Steelers beat the Ravens with somebody other than Roethlisberger under center. Though he's one of the most durable quarterbacks in the league, Roethlisberger has missed four games against Baltimore through the years. It's not a coincidence the Steelers are 0-4 in those contests.
Yet Leftwich is confident he can be effective even if he knows he can't replicate the kind of play-extending heroics that have become Roethlisberger's trademark.
"Let's be honest, I'm not going to run around, make 2-3 guys miss, roll all the way to the left and find Mike Wallace in the back of the end zone," Leftwich said. "I'm not capable of doing that. But what I can do is get the ball in the right people's hands and just be myself."
The Steelers believe that will be enough.
Pittsburgh went 3-1 in 2010 when Roethlisberger sat out the first four games while serving a suspension for conduct detrimental to the league, and Charlie Batch guided the Steelers to a 27-0 rout of St. Louis last December while Roethlisberger nursed a tender left ankle.
"Sure, we went through some games without Ben in the past, and we did all right," Wallace said. "So, this is a completely different team, but we've done it before."
Besides, the Ravens' defense isn't exactly the same menacing juggernaut that has tormented opponents over the past decade. Baltimore is ranked 26th in the league in yards against and has registered just 16 sacks.
In some ways, the balance of power has switched to the right arm of quarterback Joe Flacco and the legs of running back Ray Rice. The franchise's identity, however, remains firmly in the grasp of the defense, one that's trying to find its way without Lewis' emotional leadership and the playmaking ability of injured cornerback Lardarius Webb.
"When you change something, change is permanent," Suggs said. "You don't want to do something one week and then not do it the next. So, we fared pretty well the last two weeks, and we're just trying to keep it going."
