This is rich.
Radio announcer Howard Sattler reckons he shouldn't have been sacked for questioning the sexuality of the prime minister's partner, saying Kyle Sandilands and Alan Jones have said worse and kept their jobs.
"What about these people - people who grilled a 13-year-old rape victim, a threat to hunt down a female journalist, harass the English nurse to subsequent suicide, say that Julia Gillard's father died of shame over her policies, that Ms Gillard should be bagged and dumped into the sea," Sattler told the Seven Network on Monday.
"Now don't you think my question paled into insignificance ahead of all those things?
"All those people are still on air. I've lost my job."
Sorry Howard... but that sounds a little bit lame.

Josh Dugan - what a turnaround.
The former Raiders player, now feeling right at home with the Dragons, has secured himself a spot in the Blues line-up for Origin II.
He'll be reunited with former team mate Blake Ferguson, who's also been selected.
As sports reporter Jon Tuxworth puts it... "The whirlwind transformation of Blake Ferguson and Josh Dugan from booze brothers to Blues brothers is complete."
Meredith Clisby brings us the story this morning that plans for thousands of new homes in west Belconnen could lead to the Ginninderra Falls being reopened.
The residential joint venture between the ACT government and local developer Riverview Group includes a proposal for a cross-border conservation area encompassing the falls' site.
How good would that be??

The Somers Point Board of Education announced Tuesday that all city schools will be open for class Sept. 18.
A meeting with contractors and environmental consultants confirmed the mold remediation process will be complete by that date, according to a letter from the board.
Dawes and New York Avenue Schools will be fully accessible on the first day of school, but Jordan Road School's primary wing will remain closed.
Third-graders will be moved to temporary classrooms, and first- and second-graders will be moved to The Mission Point Church at New York Avenue and 10th Street. The primary wing is scheduled to reopen Sept. 24.

The evening Barbara Ann Scott died, I hade a premonition. Scots call it a "forerunner." Barb was in bed at her Amelia Island home in Florida unable to ingest food or medication.
At 9 p.m. I called my old friend, Kevin MacLeod, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod and Ottawa's reigning expert on ceremonials. I asked Kevin if existing protocol would permit a public viewing of Barb's coffin on Parliament Hill or city hall or her museum in city hall.
Barbara Ann Scott King's husband, Tommy King, phoned me that same evening at 9:50 p.m.
He said: "Barb died 20 minutes ago. You are the only person I am calling tonight. Will you make the announcement and act as our spokesperson?"
Tommy declined the opportunity to fly Barb's coffin to Ottawa for a public viewing.
Janet and I worked the phones until 1 a.m. and managed to make the major national newscasts at 11 p.m. and the front pages of major newspapers the next day. The outpouring of media coverage was awesome.
An old hand from the parliamentary press gallery told me that he had never seen such press coverage since the Second World War ended.
Canada's sweetheart, Canada's queen of the blades, was dead at age 84.
Ottawa Sun columnist Sue Sherring wrote that I had lost the kid sister I never had and that I was the big brother she never had.
Tommy called me when he was steeling himself for Barb's visitation.
Despite his great loss, he asked me what I was feeling.
I told him I was "in denial."
"You are a great wordsmith," he replied. "That's exactly how I feel, but I couldn't think of the word denial."
Tommy and Barb were married for 57 years and it was a marriage ordained in heaven. Tommy's every waking moment was spent advancing Barb's career.
Tommy King need not walk three paces behind his queen. He was a heavy hitter in his own right in the United States. For 26 years, he was the chief operating officer of the Kennedy family's Chicago Merchandise Mart - the largest such emporium in the world.
Tommy told me once: "To put things in perspective, Tiger Woods won the world's top four golf titles - the Master's, the PGA, the U.S. Open and the British Open. But, he didn't hold those titles in the same calendar year. Barb won the world's top five figure skating titles in the same year when she was only 18. She won the Canadian, North American, European, World and Olympic championships in the same year."
When Barb returned home in triumph, 70,000 people lined the sidewalks to salute her. The population of Ottawa at the time was 300,000.
She turned professional in 1949, succeeding Sonja Henie in Ice Capades. Her salary was $150,000. The value of money doubles every seven years, so you can imagine what $150,000 is in today's purchasing power.
The first thing she did was to establish the St. Lawrence Foundation to disburse 15 per cent of all her earnings from skating and endorsements to skating and various charities.
People ask how Barb and Tommy embraced Janet and me as family.
When the Kings moved to Chicago after their wedding, Barb slipped under the radar.
Twenty years ago, being an inquisitive columnist, I asked myself: Whatever became of Barbara Ann Scott? Where is she? What is she doing?
Even though I had the office next door to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and met royals, prime ministers and presidents, I was still in awe of achievers.
Dave Best, a friend who had worked for the Olympic movement, supplied me with Barb's phone number.
It was with a certain amount of trepidation that I dialed the King residence.
Barb answered herself. I introduced myself and she said: "Just a moment. I am in the kitchen baking brownies and an armadillo just walked in. I will put him back outside."
We talked for and hour. We bonded.
Hardly a day went by over the next 20 years that we did not talk or email.
In all of those 20 years we only clashed once. Janet and I were guests in Barb and Tommy's guesthouse across the street from their oceanfront condo. I took the white plastic garbage bag from the kitchen and dumped it in the bin nearby.
Barb saw me and gave me shit, in boxcar letters.
"That's my job," she scolded. "You don't take out the garbage when you are our guests."
I wrote columns about her and my Ottawa friend, Judith Yaworsky, says that they breathed new life in Barbara Ann Scott. In effect, I gave her a second life. She said my writing made Canadians sit up and appreciate just what a national treasure she was.
Barb was laid to rest near her home on Amelia Island.
The Kings moved to Amelia Island near the Georgia-Florida border when Tommy retired from the Trade Mart.
At the Minto Skating Club's 100th anniversary black-tie dinner, Janet and I were her guests at her table. When she spoke briefly to thank Minto for the warm welcome, she said: "Minto is my skating club. Canada is my country and Ottawa is my home."
Tommy followed her with a low-key 30-second announcement: "This morning, Barb and I donated $100,000 to the Minto club for scholarships and the money is in the bank."
To list the King's generosity would require another full column.
My health would not permit me to fly to Florida for her funeral. Instead, we sent a wreath of Barb's favourite flowers.
Janet added the message on the floral tribute: Until we meet again!
Glace Bay-born Pat MacAdam has been a fly on the wall in national politics for half a century. He served as a spear carrier for prime ministers John Diefenbaker and Brian Mulroney, and as press officer at Canada's High Commission in London. He's in Ottawa (Bytown) now and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A Huggable Valentine's Day Craft
Every year since I can remember I have given my grandfather a Valentine's Day card. It's a tradition I have since passed down to my four-year old daughter. Because my daughter enjoys crafts we now make a Valentine's Day card or craft instead of purchasing one, which to me is much more personal and heartfelt anyway.
Thanks to the brilliance of Pinterest, I have access to hundreds of great Valentine's Day crafts. This year, I let my daughter chose which one she would like to do and right away she chose this "hug" craft from a blog called The Party Event: http://thepartyevent.wordpress.com/2012/02/05/valentines-crafts-for-kids-a-long-distance-hug-a-beautiful-present-for-someone-special-diy/
The craft was really easy to make and involved simply tracing and cutting out your child's handprint on red or pink construction paper, and attaching it to a ribbon (or yarn) of your choice, then cutting out several hearts and also gluing them to the ribbon, followed by printing or writing out and then attaching a verse to explain what the craft is.
My daughter was able to cut out her handprint that I traced for her, as well as cut out some of the hearts and glue them to the ribbon. She also chose where she would like to place the hearts along the ribbon. The ribbon is the exact length of her arms stretched out – or the size of her hug.
My grandfather does not live in town, so this was the perfect craft to make and send to someone who will not be hugged in person this Valentine's Day. It was, however, tricky to find an envelope that would fit her handprint without having to bend the fingers, so keep this in mind when tracing your child's handprint – the more spread out the fingers are, the larger the handprint will be and the less likely it will fit into a standard letter-sized envelope.
In the end, we made it successfully fit in an envelope and mailed it off. My daughter and I are happy that her great-grandfather will have her "hug" on Valentine's Day. In fact, my daughter loved this craft so much, she made one for her best friend as well as one for her father. She's so huggable…

In traditional belief and fiction, a ghost is the soul or spirit of a deceased person or animal that can appear, in visible form or other manifestation, to the living. Descriptions of the apparition of ghosts vary widely from an invisible presence to translucent or barely visible wispy shapes, to realistic, life-like visions.
The belief in manifestations of the spirits of the dead is widespread, dating back to animism or ancestor worship in pre-literate cultures. Certain religious practices—funeral rites, exorcisms, and some practices of spiritualism and ritual magic—are specifically designed to appease the spirits of the dead. Ghosts are generally described as solitary essences that haunt particular locations, objects, or people they were associated with in life, though stories of the phantom armies, ghost trains, phantom ships, and even ghost animals have also been recounted.

Luce Foundation Center for American Art
Painting: 20th century: Positano
Will Barnet
(born Beverly, MA 1911 -- died New York City 2012)
"I have always searched for clarity and harmony over violence, chaos and accidents." The artist, 1989, quoted in Will Barnet, Springfield Art Museum, 2001
Will Barnet studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, then moved to New York in 1930 to attend the Art Students League. He worked as a printer for the school and experimented with techniques such as lithography, etching, and woodcutting. After his first son was born, Barnet began a series of paintings that show scenes of family life. He experimented with abstraction for several years, aiming to "eliminate realistic space" in favor of simple geometric forms. His later work was more representational and focused almost entirely on the female form, emphasizing the contrast between natural curves and rigidly composed backgrounds of horizontal and vertical forms. ("Will Barnet, Works of Six Decades," American Art Review, June-July 1994)

The recent organization of a local historical society in Pottawatomie County had for its purpose the collecting and filing
of records of the early history of the county, the preservation of its traditions, the marking of its historical spots, the
gathering of its Indian lore; all of which it is believed will tend to the encouragement of loyalty in the young.
The story of the settlement of this state is truly a fascinating one, to every loyal Oklahoman, for every one worthy of the
name must admire the courage—which often amounted to heroism of those who first came to this country, and such a one is first
of all interested in his own country and state. This movement has revived popular interest in those early days, and in those
noble men and women who came here at the opening of the country, and united their efforts to make of this county one of the
most progressive of the state. It is wholesome to review, occasionally, some of the trials and burdens that were borne by
those who gave the best years of their manhood and womanhood to the making of the country, who had a vision that reached across
the years, and planned for the things that we now enjoy. It should convince us that only by continued vigilance and loyal
devotion can we continue the work they have begun.
Many of those who played a prominent part in affairs at the opening of the county for settlement have gone to other communities
to live, and to work—many have gone to their final rest—but a few still live in Tecumseh, the county seat, who are real pioneers.
They are among those who came here when the town was opened and have helped to lay a foundation of stability, and integrity,
who have been the very bone and sinew of the community through the years that have passed. Their continued interest, and work
has given that feeling of permanence that makes others feel it is worth-while to put forth continued effort for further up-building.
Some of these older families have loyal sons and daughters to carry
Page 243
on the work they have started. All of these families have been worthy examples to the community, and the standards of citizenship
they maintained will continue to be an inspiration to the country. Their ideals, their courage, and honesty will continue
to live, after they have passed on.
Pottawatomie County (much of Lincoln County, and small portions of Cleveland and Oklahoma counties also); was formed from
the Indian reservations belonging to the Sac and Fox, the Pottawatomie and Shawnee Indian tribes, and was opened for settlement,
September 22, 1891, with the same excitement that characterized the opening of other portions of the Indian Territory for
homestead entry by white men. Tecumseh was designed for the county seat and laid out accordingly.
Being situated in the heart of a rich agricultural section of the country, lots were considered very desirable, and there
was lively competition—to put it mildly—over their staking. Like all other new towns, this one was thronged with undesirable
people, seeking excitement and adventure, those that make the danger in such a settlement. Many of them were utterly unprincipled
and desperate. But they—human flotsam that they were,—soon drifted away, just as they had come, and the real, earnest pioneers
set themselves to the task of building homes. As we look back over the years, and recall the crude, raw conditions that existed
then, it is hard to understand how men and women left the comforts, and pleasures of established positions, and congenial
surroundings, in the older states to endure the hardships, and vicissitudes of those early days. We must truly call them empire
builders, for they brought into their task an unfaltering determination to succeed, to build permanent homes, and to give
the best of their manhood, and their womanhood to the upbuilding of the community. But the spirit of hope, which has ever
guided the destinies of man, and an unfathomable courage, a unity of purpose, and steadfastness of faith, were strong enough
to have led them through deeper wildernesses, and greater privations than even this country offered then. Many of them came
from families whose names are prominent in the history of the nation, and they brought into the making of this city, and the
state those sterling qualities and that deep sense of responsibility, that had gone into the making of our national commonwealth.
As an example of this is the fact that two of the men who have
Page 244
played a conspicuous part in the affairs of the county, and especially in the town of Tecumseh—John W. Lewis and John A. Clark,—came
from the same families that produced the noted explorers who blazed the way across the continent, and opened the famous Oregon
trail—William Clark, and Merriwether Lewis.
John W. Lewis—a nephew, once removed of Merriwether Lewis—was the son of Robert A. Lewis, and Elizabeth (McKelvey); Lewis,
was born in St. Louis County, Missouri, January 28, 1854. His education was gained at the district schools, of that county.
In 1882 he located in West Plaines, Mo., where he lived until he came to Oklahoma. Mr. Lewis came to Tecumseh on the day of
the opening, but failed to secure a claim. Later he bought the rights of a homestead, six miles from the city, where he lived
with his family for eighteen months, going back and forth each day to his business in Tecumseh. One year after the opening
of the town, he opened the Bank of Tecumseh, which he managed unaided, except for the help of his wife, for more than three
years—which fact illustrates the indomitable courage and force of the man's character, for the country was ful of rough and
unscrupulous men, and fourteen saloons flourished in the town. This bank was later nationalized, and became the First National
Bank of Tecumseh. Mr. Lewis was largely instrumental in securing a railroad for the town, and materially helped with the building
of the courthouse, which was no small feat, in those days of "tight money."
Besides the material help that Mr. Lewis gave to the town, he stood always for the highest moral, and religious principles.
He was at the head of every charitable, and benevolent movement; he was untiring in his efforts for the betterment of his
fellow man, and of the community. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, a Mason, having received the Royal Arch, and
Knight Templar degrees. Mr. Lewis passed away in 1918, and unfortunately his only son, Austin, followed him, after a few weeks,
but his wife, Mrs. Ida M. Lewis, still takes an active interest in the affairs of the county and state.
Mrs. Ida Mae (Poppleton); Lewis was born at Delaware, Ohio. Her step-father, John H. Brown, and her mother moved to Missouri
when she was a child, and there she grew to wo-
Page 245
manhood. At Ohio Weslyan College, Delaware, was laid the foundation of her education, which was completed at the Young Ladies'
Seminary, Kansas City, Missouri. In 1877 she was married to John W. Lewis. Only one child was born to this union. It would
be impossible to estimate the value of the work that Mrs. Lewis has done in this community. She is a valued member of the
Presbyterian Church, has been its treasurer since the reorganization here, in 1902. She has been actively identified with
the work of the Eastern Star, since she became a member in 1899, when she was elected to office of Associate Matron. Since
then she has held the highest offices in the gift of her chapter, and of the State, and has held an office in the General
Grand Chapter. Her preferment in the order has come as "honor justly gained." In 1905 she was appointed, by the Most Worthy
Grand Matron of the General Grand Chapter, as official hostess, for the month of September, at the Masonic, and Eastern Star
headquarters at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, held at Portland, Oregon. This honor was conferred upon her, in recognition
of Mr. Lewis' relation to Merriwether Lewis, and her own splendid qualifications.
To John A. Clark belongs the distinction of filing the first claim in Pottawatomie county (which was county B. at that time);.
Being a veteran of the Civil War, and taking advantage of the special privilege offered to the honorably discharged soldiers,
his filing was made in Oklahoma City, ten seconds after noon on the day of the opening. Mr. Clark has vivid memories of the
pushing crowded line that waited at the land office, as men from almost every state in the Union stood tense and determined,
waiting their turn to file. As his homestead was a very desirable location, situated at the corner of the townsite, and had
many natural advantages, such as a living spring of pure water, fine timber, and a rich fertile soil, his rights were bitterly
contested. Upon it he proceeded to build an unusually good log house, and at its completion he moved his family from Vincennes,
Indiana, and they lived on the homestead for many years, while Mr. Clark maintained a law office in Oklahoma City for a few
months, and later in Tecumseh, until his retirement. This home was one of the social features of the community, its charming
hospitality the pride of the town, and still stands, although
Page 246
Mr. and Mrs. Clark have removed to a beautiful modern home in town.
Mr. Clark—whose family dates back to the tenth century in England—is a direct descendant of General Johnathan Clark, and Mary
Bird (Rogers); Clark. They were the parents of George Rogers Clark, who was a noted general during the Revolution (he was
never married, hence left no descendant); and William Edwin Clark the explorer, who was governor of Upper Louisiana, and of
Jonas Clark, who was John A. Clark's grandfather. John A. Clark was born in Blount County, Tennessee, Nov. 17, 1845. He was
a student in the University of Indiana, but took his degree in law, in the University of Michigan. He helped to organize the
first state bar association of Oklahoma, is a member of the Presbyterian Church, and is a Mason. He was married January 11,
1881, to Miss Ninna M. Coan, at Vincennes, Indiana. Mrs. Ninna (Coan); Clark, was born October 20, 1858, at Vincennes, the
daughter of John Coan, and Margaret Badollot Coan, being of French and English ancestry. A great grandfather; William McClure
was in the Revolutionary army, while another great grandfather, John Badollet, was a member of the convention that framed
the constitution of Indiana.
She was educated in the public schools of Vincennes, and at a private school, Maple Grove Academy, a religious institution,
at Vincennes. Mrs. Clark has ever stood for the highest type of womanhood, was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and has
been a teacher in the Sabbath school of that denomination for thirty-two years. She has been prominent in all the uplift movements
of her community, an active member of the Red Cross, a charter member of the Order of Eastern Star, a member of the first
federated woman's club in Pottawatomie County, (and among the first in the state to federate);. Two children were born to
this union; St. Clair Clark, an engineer of Oklahoma City, and the late Mrs. Max L. Cunningham of Oklahoma City.
Another family, the worth of whose work in the county, and in the state, it is impossible to estimate, is that of Rev. William
Meyer, who preached the first sermon that was heard in Tecumseh. He was sent by the Presbyterian Board of Missions to the
opening of the town, with instructions to organize a church. On the Sunday following the opening, he secured
Page 247
permission from the military commander of the town (Captain Stiles); to hold a religious service. Notices were written and
posted on the tents, and a little crowd gathered under the shade of some trees, and raised their voices together in songs
of praise, and thanksgiving. Mr. Meyer then preached to them. He held services from time to time, and after a few weeks he
organized a church with twelve members, using a large restaurant tent, belonging to Mrs. Chisolm for a meeting place. Mr.
Meyer bought a claim near Tecumseh, on which he still resides, although he has spent many of the intervening years as pastor
at large, and as a missionary to Indians. He has helped with the organization of Presbyterian churches at Shawnee, Wewoka,
Wetumka, Okemah, Okmulgee, Sapulpa, and Prague. Through all these years, Mr. Meyer, and his family, have stood for all the
principles that govern the Presbyterian Church, uprightness, honor, justice, besides religious zeal, and consecration. Can
one say what part they have had in the making of the history of the state?
Rev. William Meyer was born at an Indian mission in Kansas, (the Iowa, Sac and Fox Indian Mission, situated near Highland
in the northeast corner of the state); March 7, 1849. His parents later moved to Missouri, where he grew to manhood on a farm.
He graduated from Wittenberg College, Springfield, Ohio, in 1875, and from Union Theological Seminary, New York City, in 1878.
After graduating, he was sent by the Presbyterian Board of Missions to Phoenix, Arizona, where he organized the First Presbyterian
church in that city. Returning to Missouri, in 1881, he served churches in that state for ten years, after which he came to
Indian Territory, and waited at Norman, for the opening of Pottawatomie County.
Mr. Meyer was married to Miss Lillie J. Flynn, July 1, 1880. Mrs. Lillie (Flynn); Meyer, was born in New York City, of Irish
and Dutch Hollander descent. She was educated in the schools of that city, where she was a teacher, at the time of her marriage—a
far cry from a homestead claim in the Indian country. Mr. and Mrs. Meyer have three sons living in Oklahoma City, Frank J.,
George, and Arthur. Another son, Robert, lives at Tecumseh. A daughter, Miss Clara Meyer, teaches in Central highschool in
Oklahoma City; an-
Page 248
other daughter, Mrs. Florence Gooding, lives in Kansas City, Missouri.
Another worthy couple who came at the opening of the country, and still are among the best loved citizens, is Doctor Ben L.
Applewhite, and Mrs. Applewhite. Although Doctor and Mrs. Applewhite made the run at the time of opening of the county, they
did not secure a filing, at that time. Mrs. Applewhite said they really came for fun, and had it—which illustrates the character
of their comradeship, which is still ideal after many years of wedded life. They still do things together "just for fun,"
and their greatest reason for discord is the fact that Mrs. Applewhite wants to make a trip in an air-plane, and the doctor
will not consent to go with her. Doctor Applewhite did stake a lot in Tecumseh, on the day of the run, which he sold an hour
or two later for ten dollars. He bought another man's claim on a homestead two miles from town, on which they lived several
years while he kept his office in town. Many, many nights Mrs. Applewhite stayed alone with her children, while her husband
answered the call of his patients—but fear never lived in her heart.
Doctor Benjaman L. A.pplewhite was born July 27, 1841, in Holmes County, Mississippi. His parents were Doctor Eldridge Applewhite,
and Eliza (Lee); Applewhite. His early education was in private schools, and he had begun the study of medicine when the war
between the states began. On April 27, 1861, he enlisted in the 12th Mississippi Infantry, which afterwards became a part
of the army of Northern Virginia. He took part in the battles of Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg, Frederickburg, Charlotteville,
and at Fair Oaks where the commanding officer, Gen. James E. Johnston was wounded. He was later wounded, in the seven days
battle before Richmond, and spent several months in prison, and in a hospital. After the war, he resumed the study of medicine,
at the Ohio Medical College, at Cincinnati, and later at the medical department of the University of Louisville, Ky., from
which school he was graduated in 1880. He was practicing medicine in Dexter, Texas, when he met and married Olive Rice. They
moved to McAlester, Indian Territory, in 1884, where Doctor Applewhite was employed by the mining company, as physician.
Doctor Applewhite was one of the charter members of
Page 249
the State Medical Association, which was organized in 1893, and has been an active member since, serving two terms as president
of the county association. Mrs. Olive (Rice); Applewhite, was born near Springfield, Missouri, in 1857. She was educated for
a teacher, being a graduate of Morrisville Institute. She was teaching in Dexter, Texas, at the time of her marriage. Doctor
and Mrs. Applewhite have reared three children. Doctor Gardener H. Applewhite, of Shawnee, Oklahoma, Mrs. Margaret Chaney,
a professor in the Teachers' College at Ada, Oklahoma, and Mrs. E. J. Corn, of Tucumcari, New Mexico.
Webster defines a pioneer as "one who goes before to prepare the way for others to follow" and pioneering in this country
meant a great deal more than the building of houses, and the breaking of virgin farm land. It meant the hewing out of the
riff-raff of humanity that always follows the settlement of a new town, those characters that will make for a better civilization,
the forming of a social unit that will uphold the moral and religious standards of a community. In a large sense the establishment
of a domestic and social life of a community falls to the work of the women of that community. Each of the charming and gracious
women mentioned in this article has been an example to her associates. Delicately reared—each of them came from homes noted
for culture and refinement—in the very center of the highest civilization of their states—each took up the burden of home-making,
working with the crudest material, which she skillfully blended into wholesome and attractive surroundings. Each did her part,
sacrificing, and enduring hardship, making it possible for her husband to establish his profession, or business, helping,
too, in a material way.
The wife of a missionary had innumerable duties to attend to while her husband went about establishing churches. There is
a story that is told of Mrs. Meyer that is amusing now, but was pathetic, at that time: There came runners through the country—a
few years after the opening—that the Indians were uprising, preparing to massacre the white settlers. Mrs. Meyer (it is told);
sat through the night, with her children about her, windows covered, to hide the light of her candle, reading the Book of
Job. The citizens of Tecumseh gathered together, on that same night, the women and chil-
Page 250
dren in the courthouse, while the men patrolled the streets, dreading an attack.
Mrs. Lewis, a frail little body made frequent trips on the mail hack to Oklahoma City, with a small traveling bag, which she
permitted no one to carry,—though often it was very heavy—for it contained the money for her husband's bank.
Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Applewhite also had trials to endure, tests of courage and fortitude. All have added greatly to the refinement
and culture of the community, by their lovely characters, and untiring service. Each has been an inspiration to many another
woman to "do her bit."
Their work—their experiences, their sacrifices, and successes—would fill many volumes with interesting material, if it could
be written as they lived.

Published: April 27, 2006 at 7:38 PMI tend to think that without fastpass, or any kind of line skipping thing, that lines generally go faster. Case in point, Magic Kingdom. I never remember the line at Space Mountain getting over an hour until later in the day. It now gets close to two hours before noon. It doesnt really seem to effect Universal that much either. The busy attractions are still busy, and the ones that arent, arent.
Published: April 27, 2006 at 9:51 PMI wrote my thoughts on ride reservation systems a couple months back. In summary, they are great for blockbuster rides when they first open and their wait times pass two hours. But for rides with less than two hours' wait, these systems do more to gum up the works than to increase enjoyment for average visitor. Sure, some sophisticated visitors (which are usually the type of folks to frequent sites like this) know how to "game the system" and work ride reservation systems for far many more trips than they could get otherwise. But the average visitor doesn't end up visiting more rides, and likely ends up more confused than relieved by them. Remember, the ultimate purpose of these systems is to get people to spend more time in stores and to extend their day in the park, so that they can spend more money, while getting on the *same* number of rides.

Kate Middleton
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Catherine Middleclass-Windsor, otherwise known as Kate Middling, Kate 'I Am So Bloody Lucky I Bagged a Willy', Duchess of Cambridge wife of a balding prince, and heiress to the Middleton pipe tobacco fortune, has been judged the most beautiful woman in the world by the Daily Mail. Everywhere she goes, 'Katie' is cheered and asked to show 'more leg and arse' by the photographers, keen to capture her regal-in-waiting rear. When Kate's Grandmother-in-law finally dies and gets stuffed for the Windsor Tomb and her father-in-law Prince Charles is barred from the throne on the grounds of his all round lunacy, then England[1] will have a new Queen.
On 22nd July 2013, Kate gave birth to a baby son, Jesus Christ, who, it transpired, was not just the future King of England, but King of the Jews as well.
edit Doors to Manual
Born in 1982, Kate Muggle is the daughter of a former air line pilot Michael 'Mike' Muggle and his wife, air hostess Carole Dutyfree-Trolley. Rumours that Kate was conceived in a rest cabin on a long haul flight between London and Singapore have since been proved to be correct. Kate has a younger sister Pippa Bum-Muggle and a brother known as 'Leech'. Bullied at school for their names and the Harry Potter connection, the Muggles rebranded themselves as the Middletons, neither dirt poor or stinky rich. By then her parents were no longer flying and had instead invested their air miles in starting up an expensive 'party poppers' company to supply junk for tasteless weddings and Christmas parties. Made in Middleton sounded like an important place but really meant 'crap' in all languages.
edit Sister Wendy
Kate grew up with a lot of silver spoons to choose from when eating her muesli. The Middletons bought land and ponies and became feverent royalists. When Princess Diana was assassinated by the French medical services in Paris in 1997, the Middletons went into mourning. Kate said this was the first time she saw Prince William on television and fell in love with him. But what chance had she with a royal, even her own folks would be shown the tradesmen's entrance if they tried to gain access to Buckingham Palace to personally pass on their condolences.
Then fate threw Kate and William together. Coincidently, both decided they would study Art History. Their artistic interests had been tickled by watching a buck toothed nun known as Sister Wendy[2] trawling around art galleries and praising artists when they got 'pubic hair right'. For William and Kate this was a touch 'risque' and knew it could upset their families. So they enrolled for an art course at St.Andrews in Scotland and moved there.
Like everyone else at the time, Kate was aware that Prince William was at the same university as her and then discovered they were also doing the same course. But when she first went to her class, other female students were already trying to sit as close to William as possible without actually sitting on his lap.
Then perhaps reading about how Cleopatra had first seduced Julius Caesar by appearing in a rolled up carpet, Kate tried to have herself smuggled into William's bedroom in a laundry basket. But the security services who were looking after the Prince had already got wise to this trick and numerous wannabe princesses had found themselves in the dry cleaning department of the university instead of snuggling up with a prince. Then a friend of Kate asked if she wanted to appear half naked in a fashion show, with the knowledge that William had got a taste for looking at women on a catwalk. An opportunity was there.
edit Get 'Em Orf for a Royal
William and his friends booked a table close to the catwalk and got ready to watch. Why William was so keen to glimpse teenage girls in possibly degrading show was never really explained. It least it showed 'Willy' was keen to try out new experiences and in the Post-Diana age, he appeared to be a lot less like a stuffed shirt then the rest of the Windsors.
Backstage Kate turned up to model. She choose a skimpy, see through affair that the other girls were not willing to wear. But she had remembered that her mother had told her 'never go shy at an opportunity'. So out she appeared, strutting down the catwalk in her 'barely there' outfit. William's jaw dropped and below the table, something else stirred to life. His friends laughed and pointed but 'Honker Wales' as the Prince was known, now showed great interest. Who was this?
Back in her own clothes again, Kate went to celebrate in the student bar. William followed her there and sent a note: Come over at 8.00. I will tell my detective to leave us for an hour. Whether either or both were still Branstons at this stage is not known but they were soon upto regular action in the traditional student way.
edit Is William Gay?
Buckingham Palace soon learned of the Prince's art discussions with Kate. The Queen ordered a full geneological survey of the Middletons (née Muggles) since the Domesday Book. When it came up with 'nothing known to embarrass', the Queen gave her consent to more couplings. Kate had passed her biggest test, the 'suitability' one, even if she was not an aristocrat or a foreign-born royal. Prince Charles did privately suggest if his son wanted to 'sow a few more wild oats' before settling down. When William said he wasn't sure, Kate was told to 'give it a rest' and left the prince alone. By then news that William was seeing a woman was greeted with relief after many scandal magazines and websites were suggesting William was obviously gay.
For the next few months Kate lay low and avoided taking up with any men. Would her prince come back to her? The Prince meanwhile was now in the British army (though not as an ordinary soldier, all royals are automatically Field Marshals). To his father's disappointment, William couldn't shake the image of Kate on the catwalk from his mind. He decided that Kate was just the right one for him and that frankly, he couldn't be arsed to chase any willing skirt.
edit Marriage
In 2011 William and Kate decided they were now too far gone to pull out of the relationship and so went ahead with a private wedding along the streets of London. Perhaps William was also bothered that if he waited any longer, his hair wouldn't and didn't want to be total baldy on his marriage day. Kate looked like princess on the day, a stick thin one, the 'Countess of Anorexia' as she was called by some of the foreign press (British media were too scared to say this).
edit The Birth of Christ
Kate gave birth in July 2013, to a baby boy. She was only slightly alarmed when this boy emerged bearing a golden halo. The media actually realised this baby was Jesus before Kate did; as soon as she emerged from the hospital, her baby weight liposuctioned off, a reporter from the Daily Mail asked her if she was pleased that her baby was Jesus. However, upon realising that God must be the father, and not him, Prince William flew into a fit of rage and rugby-tackled a small girl. Before rushing over to calm him down, Kate finally relented and gave the Daily Mail the statement they were looking for, that "God's been real all along and all the atheists are going to hell, ha ha ha."
Kate has recently announced her plans to send Jesus Christ to state school, in what The Grauniad described as a "daring move", and to move Christmas to July.

The multimillion dollar sale of the Canberra South Motor Park has left residents concerned about their future tenancies and possible redevelopment of the site by new owners.
Tenants of the Canberra Avenue site are preparing to meet with representatives of new owners South Canberra Holdings on Sunday after the company took over the park last month.
The company is a subsidiary of the Hampshire Property Group, which owns seven retirement villages in New South Wales and Victoria.
Residents Kaye Saunders and Bruce Best have written to members of the Legislative Assembly concerned about at least two new transportable houses being installed in recent weeks.
Along with members of the park's residents group, Mr Best has told the ACT government and opposition that struggling power and sewerage infrastructure was already unable to cope with everyday demand.
He said more residents at the park could see further problems, while redevelopment of the site as a retirement village would be devastating for hundreds of low income residents.
Residents have also asked the government for information about planning controls for the new units.
"It is blatantly obvious the ageing infrastructure is already over stressed and will require major upgrades to power supply, sewerage, drainage and water supply," Mr Best said.
"This work must be carried out prior to any increase in dwelling numbers. With no other large caravan parks in the ACT, the village concept will have a serious detrimental effect on tourism in the territory."
South Canberra Holdings chief executive Frank Sharkey would not say how much the company had spent buying the park from its former owners, including members of the Phillips and Scheinberg families.
In March a sale deal with retirement village company Ingenia Communities was scuttled after the offer was withdrawn. In late-2014 the company looked close to finalising a $14.7 million acquisition of the site.
Mr Sharkey said two new units were being added and the company's approach was "business as usual".
"We fully intend to continue the tourist operations and supplement the business by providing special offers to visiting tradesmen and sub-contractors who come to Canberra in off-peak periods.
"We also recognise that our park is home to a significant number of permanent residents living in their own homes. We have assured our residents that their tenure is not at risk from our business operations."
Mr Sharkey said he expected to offer affordable housing for years to come.
The park is home to about 600 residents, including many who have lived in the area for as long as 20 years. Public holiday accommodation is also offered.
Before the Ingenia deal fell through, the company said as many as 150 additional living spaces could be added to the park.
On Thursday, a spokesman said the ACT government was aware of residents' concerns about construction and planning approvals. Staff from the Access Canberra agency will visit the site on Friday to investigate.
Opposition housing spokeswoman Nicole Lawder said she welcomed assurances from the new owners that tenure had been assured for existing residents.
"I will endeavour to consult with residents, the proprietors and the government about any potential issues that could arise," Ms Lawder said.
"Some of the park residents are on low incomes and it must be remembered that this place is their home. Their concerns should be dealt with sympathetically."

|Cumby looking to break into district win column
|Joseph Elerson | News-Telegram Sports Writer
Sept. 30, 2004 - CUMBY - Second-year head coach Kent Hawthorne's Cumby Trojans come into Friday night's contest against the Wolfe City Wolves on a two-game losing streak after hosting three straight games at home.
The Trojans are 2-3 overall, 0-1 in District 17-A, while coach Dale Trompler's Wolves begin their district campaign with a 1-3 record after having a bye last week.
"It has been a 'could have been, should have been' first half of the season," Hawthorne said. "We made a lot of mistakes, and we believe we should be 4-1, but we are not and we are 2-3. Our kids have said that no one has beaten us but ourselves, because we have made too many mistakes."
The Trojans' latest loss came against the Celeste Blue Devils 34-16 at home last Friday and Hawthorne believes his kids played hard but just made too many costly mistakes.
"When you play from behind as we did in the game, you have to do things differently," Hawthorne said. "The main thing that hurt us was they had three or four big plays that killed us, and they had them quick. When you start behind 14-0, you have to start playing catch-up and you panic a little bit and make some mistakes with interceptions and penalties."
This week, the Trojans will see a Wolfe City team that is coming off a three-game losing streak with losses to Lone Oak, Clarksville and Union Hill. Their only win of the season came against Honey Grove during Zero Week 26-13.
"They are a lot faster than we are, and we are going to have to take better angles and make better adjustments," Hawthorne said. "They are a better football team, and I think they have panicked this year and are running that spread offense, and they are better at just running through you or around you football team."
Sophomore quarterback Chase Roundtree will be running Wolfe City offense this year after throwing for 750 yards and 12 touchdowns during his freshman season, while Jonathan Price returns in the backfield and wide-out Steven Walters should be one of Roundtree's targets this year.
The latest Harris Ratings has Wolfe City as a 37-point favorite for Friday night's contest, but Hawthorne said he hopes to see his kids play hard before having their bye week next week.
"We are hoping that we will line up and play hard, smart and solve some problems and hopefully have some luck and then have a week to get healed up," Hawthorne said.
Cumby senior wide-out and captain Nick Dyer broke his collarbone last week and is still in the ICU at the Greenville hospital. Injuries have plagued the team all year with junior Chris Steward tearing his ACL in the first scrimmage of the year, senior Trent McCraw sitting out with a concussion last week and now the recent injury to Dyer.
Being a young team as Wolfe City is this season, Hawthorne hopes his defensive unit will be able to frustrate them and the turnover battle will be won by the Trojans.
"I hope they make the same mistakes that they made against Clarksville and that they turn the ball over like they did against Lone Oak," the coach said. "I think now with those young kids, they are starting to solve some of their problems and of course with them having the bye week last week they are getting healthy and getting their legs under them."
With home games against Melissa and Boles and road games against Detroit and Rivercrest to round out the season, Hawthorne said he believes his team will continue to get better each week no matter what the outcome is Friday night.
"If we end up losing and go into the break at 0-2 it is not going to feel good, but we will continue to work hard and get the rest of the wins and hope that an upset will occur and the door will be left open," the coach said. "We are going to take each game and play hard and continue to get better every week."

Date of Defense 2012-06-28 Availability unrestricted AbstractThis study compares reproductive biology estimates of female red snapper among three habitat types (natural shelf-edge banks, standing petroleum platforms and toppled petroleum platforms) and among six regions in the Gulf of Mexico (central Florida, northwest Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, north Texas and south Texas). In both studies, batch fecundity and spawning frequency increased with length, weight and age, and batch fecundity was best correlated with maternal length. Gulf-wide, 75% maturity was achieved by age-3 and 100% maturity was reached by age-8. Sizes- and ages-at-maturity differed among habitat types and regions. Females from natural habitat reached 50% maturity the slowest (age-5, 450 mm TL), while fish from toppled platforms reached this benchmark the fastest (age-3, 400 mm TL). Among regions, 100% maturity was reached fastest in north Texas (age-6, 625 mm TL), followed by conspecifics in Alabama (age-6, 675 mm TL), while this benchmark was reached slowest in northwest Florida (age-9, 775 mm TL). Mean batch fecundity was significantly greater in Alabama (283,051 ± 35,761) compared to the other regions. Spawning frequency was significantly greater in north Texas (1.9-3.4 days) compared to the other regions. The differences in reproductive biology estimates among habitat types and regions presented here exemplify the diversity of intraspecific life history traits, which may be influenced by varying ecologies, environments and/or fishing pressures. These findings may supplement managers with important knowledge regarding red snapper vital rates, which may be useful for future management decisions. Files

Katy Perry Gossip
Katy Perry gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Carpets & Candids: Katy's two outfits at the BRITs
Did I mention that I didn't hate Katy Perry's Tom Ford at the Grammys? That said, it's a better outfit in photographs. Once you see her moving around, the placement of the sequined top moved around too much, and she fussed with it too much. Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Katy's green dress and white booties
Santi/ Splash
Not sure this dress is super flattering. Maybe it's the way the pattern is buzzing and bugging my eyes. And the booties don't lengthen much either. Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Katy's leopard and butterflies
Those are butterflies, right? Whatever. They're some kind of fly. I'm not up on my insect species but you are welcome to school me. The dress is Ungaro. It's not for me. On her though, you know I don't mind it. I'd rather a high collar and a lot of leg than the other way around. Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Katy in olive green
Dimitrios Kambouris/ Getty
This is a great colour. And it's a good dress, but it definitely needed that belt, non? Without the belt I would have fallen asleep. What is that white tag on her right hip? You see it? Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Katy's dandelion dress
Splash, Stefanie Keenan /Getty
My eyes are buggy today – those are dandelions, right? The print? It's so pretty. And I love the sheer spotted hem that's also accented around the back and shoulder. The dress is Thakoon F/W 2013 – click here to see the collection, which I loved on the runway, and all the interpretations on this look in particular. Full Article
Smutty Fitness: Cold Weather Running
I'm a fairly active 30 year old - I do yoga a few times a week plus hit the gym about twice per week. I've been contemplating signing up for a half-marathon, but don't think I can quite stomach outdoor winter running to train for it. I know I could wait for a fall run to train during the summer, but I have previously signed up for, and not completed, the half-marathon that is held annually in May here in Toronto, so I'd like that to be my goal (plus, I think it would be a great way to get in shape for the summer!). Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Katy Perry's Snow White Dress
Or some kind of Disney princess, right? This is the cut of it. And it really suits her. Classic with a modern streak of purple through her hair. And, secretly or not, don't we all wish we could wear a tulle petticoat once in a while? Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Katy Perry's unflattering gown
Fame/Flynet, Jen Lowery/Splash
It's that material. Horrible material. See what happens when the light hits her around the middle? And let me stop you right there with my hand up not quite in your face but so you get the point: she is NOT pregnant. It's just a terrible, terrible dress made of terrible, terrible sateen. Full Article
Sateen is Sh-t: Katy Perry edition
How many times do I have to keep saying it? Why do people keep making it? What is motivating stylists to recommend it? Look at Katy Perry. Katy Perry has a sick little body. But Katy Perry in sateen? Check the seam down the side? You can iron that sh-t all day, it'll still show you the stitch grooves. Full Article

Nicole F.wrote a review of KEEN Newport H2 Sandal - Little Boys' on June 4, 2010
Great sandal for 2 yr old
These sandals are excellent. My 2 1/2 yr old wears them all the time and loves them. They fit securely, are comfortable, keep her from stubbing her toes, and she can get them wet without rubbing. My only complaint would be that her feet get pretty stinky in them, but with sweaty little feet and rubbery insoles, what can you expect?
A bit on the pricey side, but the quality is worth it.

Black logos are the more upscale Winners. Don't know if that's just a myth, but I find that the brands at the black logo'd Winners seem alot nicer.
they are. they use paper bags XD. but black logos are always the busier locations and therefore they get the better shipment

Pilarski, Healy honored at Brentwood
Two names familiar to Brentwood sports fans — Jason Pilarski and Victoria Healy — have been honored as the top senior athletes at Brentwood High School for 2012-13.
The annual all-sports banquet was held last week at Brentwood High School, with the senior athletes once again being the main attraction.
Pilarski was the recipient of the Mark Reider Award, which is presented to the top male senior athlete at Brentwood.
Healy was the recipient of the Booster Athlete Award, which is presented to Brentwood's top senior female athlete.
"Jason is very skilled, particularly in soccer and basketball," Rick Huffman, Brentwood's athletic director, said. "His desire to compete is unmatched, and he always put team success before personal achievements.
"Victoria is very intelligent, which makes her very coachable. She is quiet by nature, but she is very driven and self-motivated."
Two other seniors, Josh O'Neill and Sydney Stankus, were presented with the male and female scholar-athlete award at the banquet.
Pilarski and Healy also were lauded as a "most outstanding team member" in multiple sports.
Pilarski was a repeat selection as the most outstanding team member of the boys' varsity basketball squad, as well as the boys' varsity soccer squad.
"Jason is very tough, both mentally and physically," said Huffman, who also is an assistant boys' basketball coach. "He has a great understanding of how to play the game, which enables him to anticipate things before they happen."
Healy was named the most outstanding team member of both the girls' volleyball and track and field squads.
"Victoria leads by example," Huffman said, "and is a great asset to any team tha she plays for."
She also was a previous MOTM recipient two years ago as a sophomore member of the Brentwood girls' varsity basketball squad.
Stankus also was lauded as the most outstanding team member of the girls' cross country squad.
Another two-time award recipient was senior Jake Held, who was named most outstanding team member of the baseball and boys' golf squads.
The most outstanding team members of all varsity sports at Brentwood were announced at the awards banquet. They are as follows:
• Baseball — Jake Held
• Basketball (boys) — Jason Pilarski
• Basketball (girls) — Laura McGowan
• Cheerleading — Mackenzie Kramer
• Cross country (boys) — Brandon Striplin
• Cross country (girls) — Sydney Stankus
• Football — Justin Vickless
• Golf — Held
• Soccer — Pilarski
• Softball — Alexis Gaughan
• Swimming (boys) — Christian Reinhardt
• Swimming (girls) — Allison McGinnis
• Track and field (boys) — Neil Christopher
• Track and field (girls) — Victoria Healy
• Volleyball — Healy
Held, Kramer, Reinhardt, McGinnis and Christopher were seniors in 2012-13, while McGowan, Striplin, Vickless and Gaughan were juniors.
Striplin and Stankus also reeled in the MOTM plaudits in boys' and girls' cross country, respectively, two years ago.
McGowan was a repeat selection in girls' basketball.

|Back to April Ed Reporter
Many scientists find the idea of Intelligent Design so threatening that they refuse to admit the weaknesses of pure materialism or neo-Darwinism. They prefer any explanation, however farfetched, to the possibility that some features of the natural world might have been designed.
This approach, among other effects, impoverishes the study of the natural sciences. Anyone who admires the incredible complexity of living things seems to imply that time and chance might not be enough to explain their origins and that smacks of "creationism." The Design of Life explores that amazing complexity and the many mysteries that Darwinism leaves unsolved, inviting readers to a new appreciation of exactly how much any theory of the origins and development of life has to explain.
The authors, mathematician William Dembski and biologist Jonathan Wells, are senior fellows of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, and leaders of the Intelligent Design movement. Together they have written a textbook capable of introducing readers both with and without a background in science to the theory of Intelligent Design, its strengths and neo-Darwinism's weaknesses, and its bearing on several key areas of biology.
The chapter on the fossil record is especially interesting, because the fossil record continues to call Darwin's explanation of the origin of species into serious doubt. The persistent lack of intermediary forms between known organisms presents a problem for even the most committed Darwinists. "Even in the most favorable circumstances, paleontologists have consistently failed to discover the missing links that would connect organisms from higher levels of classification," the authors report. There should be hundreds of fossils linking major animal divisions, but instead, the record shows the major animal phyla as discrete categories that appeared during the Cambrian Explosion, within "a remarkably brief period of time, geologically speaking." Also fascinating is the discussion of similar features among animals with no common ancestor, a phenomenon difficult for evolutionists to explain.
Even for a reader who found Intelligent Design unacceptable, The Design of Life would still merit reading for its interesting introductions to such subjects as the microscopic world within an "ordinary" cell, the problem of the origin of life from nonliving things, and the limitations of modern evolutionary science.

Nugent engaged in a feisty debate with CNN host and gun-control advocate Piers
Morgan. Despite the push for more restrictions on gun rights in Washington and
in states around the country, Nugent fired back with a vigorous defense of what
he says is the overwhelming majority of gun owners.
"99.99 percent of the gun owners of America are wonderful people that you are
hanging around with here today, perfectly safe, perfectly harmless, wonderful,
loving, giving, generous caring people. Would you leave us the hell alone?"

WASHINGTON -- Leaders of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops voiced concern for victims of clergy sexual abuse while offering praise for Pope Benedict XVI's long-standing leadership in dealing with abuse cases.
In a Holy Week statement issued March 30, members of the Executive Committee of the USCCB said they are aware of the pope's concern for abuse victims and "how he has strengthened the church's response to victims."
Committee members also acknowledged Pope Benedict's support for efforts within the U.S. Catholic Church on behalf of victims as well as the steps taken to deal with perpetrators of abuse.
The letter was sent by Cardinal Francis E. George of Chicago, USCCB president; Bishop Gerald F. Kicanas of Tucson, Ariz., vice president; Bishop George V. Murry of Youngstown, Ohio, secretary; Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz of Louisville, Ky., treasurer; and Bishop Arthur J. Serratelli of Paterson, N.J., an elected member of the committee.
The committee said recent revelations of sexual abuse by clergy "saddens and angers the church and causes us shame."
"If there is anywhere that children should be safe it should be in their homes and in the church," the bishops said.
In recent weeks hundreds of new sex abuse allegations against priests and other church personnel have surfaced in Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland.
The Executive Committee members reiterated that bishops across the U.S. continue to "respond with compassion to victims (and) survivors."
"We continue to intensify our efforts to provide safe environments for children in our parishes and schools. Further, we work with others in our communities to address the prevalence of sexual abuse in the larger society," the bishops said.
"With the support of both Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, we bishops have made a vigorous commitment to do everything in our power to prevent abuse from happening to children," they said.
The bishops added that the U.S. church continues to screen church workers and volunteers who work with children and young people, provide child abuse awareness and prevention training, report suspected abuse to police and participate in an annual audit as a way to hold local dioceses accountable for their efforts in protecting children and young people.
In 2002 the U.S. bishops adopted their "Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People," which mandates safe environment programs be set up in dioceses and parishes and requires an annual audit on how dioceses and religious orders are complying with provisions in the charter.
The bishops also recalled Pope Benedict's private meeting with abuse victims during his 2008 visit to Washington and how the pontiff listened intently as victims recounted their experiences.
"As we accompany Christ in his passion and death during this Holy week, we stand with our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI in prayer for the victims of sexual abuse, for the entire church and for the world," the bishops concluded.
