Monsignor Lynn's conviction
Paul Moses June 22, 2012 - 3:19pm
Many will be elated that Monsignor William Lynn has been found guilty of one count of child endangerment. I'm not. It's a sad day for Lynn, and for the church. And yet, it's a necessary one.The Philadelphia jury, which acquitted Lynn on two other counts, worked extremely hard. I hope we'll see interviews with some of the jurors that explain their decision.Absent that, it's a little difficult to interpret the verdict with the information available. Sometimes, juries just compromise - no favor to Lynn, since it only takes a conviction on one count to expose a defendant to prison time and change the course of his life. For a defendant, there is really no such thing as a "mixed verdict," as this is being called.The jurors' questions during the long deliberation indicated that they were very troubled by the conspiracy charge, and the panel passed up the chance to convict Lynn of entering into an illicit agreement with his superiors. So - this is preliminary - it looks like a verdict that focuses on Lynn's personal responsibility. To reach it, the jury had to reject the so-called "only-following-orders" defense - a weak defense in any case.Had more bishops resigned in response to the clergy sexual abuse scandal - had there been true accountability from the bishops - I suspect Monsignor Lynn would never have found himself in jail. (He was held pending his Aug. 13 sentencing, a strong indication that he'll be sentenced to prison time) .Prosecutors have great discretion over which cases to pursue, and they are sensitive to the public mood. The church has done much to deal with the problem of clergy sexual abuse, but never held its leaders accountable. As a result, the legal system, first in civil cases and now in criminal, has become the mechanism for accomplishing that.That's far from over.
Commenting Guidelines
I'm sure that this will be appealed until Jesus comes. Cost will be no object.
Cost will be no object.NYTimes says: "It has also been costly: the financially ailing archdiocese said this week that legal fees and internal investigations triggered by the abuse cases had cost $11.6 million since early 2011."
What surprises me is that the charge on which the jury seemed to have made the first decision was the child endangerment case against Msgr. Lynne. (They said a few days ago that they were deadlocked on all charges but one.) I would have thought that they would have been in agreement more with the charges against Fr. Brennan. Anyway, Brennan should not have been tried with Msgr. Lynn. That is my lack of legal expertise opinion.
The archdiocese is already passing the hat to pay for the 2015 World Meeting of Families.Thinking about Msgr Lynn, I am sure he will go down in folklore as one of the little guys while the big shots got away. It was conventional wisdom when I was in Germany (and probably still is) that the big shots got away with World War II, and only the little guys were tried. That was after the big shots were spectacularly tried in Nuremberg -- at least all the big shots who hadn't already killed themselves. But folk wisdom will always cut the little guy a break, which may not be much consolation in a prison cell.
Very sad indeed for all concerned, both victims and enablers, and not least for the posthumous reputation of Cardinal Bevilacqua. Unclear where it leaves Cardinal Rigali.I still wonder when someone in a position of leadership will have the courage to ask the question of a possible connection between the abuses crises, here and abroad, and the Church's governance structures. Benedict has said the question is irrelevant (true reform must come at the personal spiritual level, not the institutional) and I've seen his views echoed recently by Cardinal Schoenbrun in Vienna and Cardinal Vingt-Trois in Paris. No doubt there are many more repeating this line.Perhaps it is irrelevant. But what's to be lost by raising the question?
It has been sad days for the church for 30 years. When a loyal to the church Tom Doyle tried to tell the arrogant bishops that much was rotten in Denmark, they not only did not listen but they demoted and humiliated him. So much for his religious freedom. More sad that it took a criminal court to seek justice when the bishops should have been prompt to protect the children. Cardinal Law needed a court before he relented. Further sad that the self described apostolic successors failed miserably to nurture and build up the church. Most disturbing was the trial was not about whether there was neglect in protecting the children but rather which prelate was responsible.
It seems ironic or fitting or weird something that it's the feast of St. Thomas More. :/
Irony here:Fr. Brennan had a canonical trial and it was noted that both Cardinal Bevilacqua and Msgr. Lynn had doubts about his honesty and yet this civil court jury chose to find him more credible than his accusser in his two day riveting testimony.
Monsignor Lynn's lawyers announced in advance of any verdict that they would appeal any conviction of any of the charges he faced. So it's hard to say how long the appeals process will take to unfold.
A great day for survivors everywhere!A word to the hierarchs: "If you want PEACE, work for JUSTICE!" - Paul IV
As predicted."rough justice" from a clearly divided jury.How divided and what the issues were may not be known and guesses were not helpful.Meanwhile Msgr, Lynn has been put in post conviction.My own bottom line is that the Philly Church clerical leadewrship was shown for what it was and may (despite words to the contrary) continue to be as long as the institution has primacy.A quick side note and tie to the Sandusky trial is PA legislator is looking at SOL legislation.This cuts to the heart of the continuing dynamic, even as Philly spends lots on some things while laying off workers and shutting down the diocesan newspaper.How many will feel is dependent on how this topic touches them as towhether Church treasuries ,even if their have been secretive foul ups. should suffer.And is the injury victims suffer less important than that??????
God bless the jury for being so careful. I still feel sorry for Msgr. Lynn, especially now since the perp has gone free and the Msgr.'s bosses also walked. But he deserves jail. I suspect that the DA's office saw this as a trial balloon of sorts -- would a jury in a very Catholic city like Philadelphia convict a priest who wasn't a perp? I wonder how many Catholics there were on the jury. Anybody know? I expect now there will be other trials there. There are still 20 odd credibly accused priests in service. Sheesh.Poor Rocco. He had idolized Cardinal Bevilaqua. Quadruple sigh.Above all, God bless the victims who had the courage to speak out.
Ann Olivier, as I undertand the early reports, the jury didn't make any finding on Fr. Brennan, so his outcome depends on whether the prosecutor decides to try him again with a new jury. They did resolve all the charges against Msgr. Lynn, finding him guilty on one and not guilty on the other two. http://www.philly.com/philly/news/breaking/20120622_Jury_works_to_break_...
From Rocco:"Acquitted on a conspiracy count and another child-endangerment charge, a "weeping" Lynn was immediately sent into custody pending an August sentencing. According to wire reports, the single guilty count bring a likely jail term of three and a half to seven years; the defendant is said to have declined a plea bargain prior to the trial's March start."Rocco also mentions BIshop Pican, in France, who received a suspended sentence in 2001 for not reporting an abuser. Rocco doesn't mention but you may remember that, in that case, Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos wrote a letter to Bishop Pican congratulating him on not reporting the priest.
I congratulate you on not having spoken out to civil authorities against a priest," wrote Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos, who at the time was prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy."You have done well and I am delighted to have an associate in the episcopate who [in the eyes of history and all the other bishops of the world] preferred prison to speaking out against a son-priest."http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8624763.stm
Which shows that people in high positions in the church were still not putting the abused persons at the head of their list of priorities.
John H. -- Priorities came from the highest position. Cdl. Castrillon Hoyos reportedly said (in Spanish) After consulting the pope I wrote a letter to the bishop congratulating him . The Holy Father authorized me to send this letter to all bishops in the world and publish it on the internet." http://blogs.reuters.com/faithworld/2010/04/17/undaunted-cardinal-says-j...
John and Jack --It's not at all surprising that JP II approved C. Hoyos' letter, given how he protected that monster Maciel. Maybe the theology the Church needs to develop is not ecclesiology so much but the theology of the priesthood. Sure, Vatican II made a lot of headway with the priesthood of the faithful, but Rome hasn't really accepted that. I suspect it's because it has an heretical view of what ordination does to a person. That "transubstantiation" of priests notion is sooooo weird.
No elation here; this is a time for sobriety and reflection. But it is long awaited justice for the anguished survivors. May God bless and heal them with more justice.
Ann Olivier: Yes, to a certain extent, the exalted theology of the priesthood is a problem, as you say it is.However, I think that a bigger problem is the exalted sense the Catholic bishops have of themselves because they imagine themselves to be the successors of the apostles of Jesus. The bishops really do see themselves as exalted and privilege people.
Thomas F. --It seems to me also that this murkiness about just what a priest or bishop is, is a good illustration of how theology can affect the Church for both good and ill. To consider theology irrelevant to religious belief and practice is very naive at best.
Count me among those positively elated by this verdict. For once, once, a Catholic official was held accountable in a court of law for criminal endangerment of children. No wonder survivors and their advocates find much to celebrate on that score. This is a great victory for justice.I hate to even consider what a not guilty verdict on all counts would have meant.McCormack, Christian, Law, Mahony, Bevilacqua, Brady et al in Ireland, confreres in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and countless, countless others all escaped. How many children were abused because of the negligence and arrogance of such men? That is what I am sad about. Lynn deserves everything the law is capable of imposing. What is really tragic is that he apparently finds himself innocent, as do so many clergy whose hands are dirty. Not my fault, I never intended a child be harmed, following orders, I didn't know. They never heard or tried to hear the screams, imagined the fear or the shame or the crippling anxiety. What in the name of God does it take to penetrate such conscious ignorance and flagrant indifference to pain? For what? To protect themselves!Criminal intent exists when repeated actions negate child protection as the first consideration. "The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts." John LockeI wonder if Lynn will ever face the reality of his guilt. There is no indication any of the bishops above have done so.
I'm elated too. What's saddening is that it has taken civil authority to teach moral accountability to a church.
A great day for survivors everywhereAnyone who believes this has no idea what is good for survivors. The only way forward for them is to forgive and move on.
Carolyn --I'm also happy for you and Fr. Doyle, and Richard Sipe, and Jason Berry, and bishopaccountability, and SNAP and all those who have worked so hard to make the public realize what has been happening. I daresay this decision will encourage other prosecutors to proceed against other egregious criminals. And God bless the Philadelphia prosecutors, too.Yes, Msgr. Lynn did give the impression in print, anyway, that he didn't think he did anything very wrong. But why would he think so when a generally respected "prince" of the Church was so definite in his misbehavior. What a corrupt and corrupting tribe.
Bruce --Do you think there can be charity where there is no justice?
Bruce, I suppose I should not take the bait. "Forgive and move on" - just what bishops told survivors too, in pursuit of avoiding any criminal or civil charges. Survivors are more than drowned in lectures about what has become the new f word for them. And now Jerry Sandusky is found guilty on 45 of 48 counts.Justice reigns today. Maybe the truth matters sometimes.
Thanks so much, Ann. Once every 10, 20 or 30 years we appreciate convictions that validate what our friends suffered. Being believed is an incredible relief. Remember only 2% of identified perpetrators were ever convicted, and this is the first enabler conviction anywhere I can think of. Tom, Richard, Jason, ba.org and SNAP are my heroes.Here we have thousands of victims and per episcopal rationale, it all just happened out of the ethers. No one in chanceries did anything culpable. Amazing.Thank you, Lord.
Thank you, Lord.And thank you, US democracy. This is a relief. Justice! No one is above the law in this country.Proud to be an American.Now I hope that Msgr Lynn will be properly taken care of in prison and not exposed to abuse from other inmates or to insufficient heath care. I bear him no ill will. Once he has served his sentence I will be happy to see him be assistant pastor somewhere.
Are there any plans to appeal? I don't think the defense attorney was happy with the judge's charge to the jury.
Rocco:"Two more criminal trials launched by the 2011 grand jury are slated to take place in September. The Philadelphia church then faces eight civil abuse suits filed in the wake of the investigation."
Mark Proska: An appeal is likely. But first Monsignor Lynn has to be sentenced. After he is sentenced, an appeal can be made.
Bruce,What you don't see is that after so many years of being told that they were the problem not the abusers, a decision like this overturns that notion that the victims are responsible. With validations like this trial the victims can move on to greater healing.
Thomas--I see, thanks. However this shakes out, and whatever Monsignor might or might not be truly guilty of, I hope he can use this trial (in the general sense of the word) to set an example to other clerics.
Bill Mazzella: I agree with you that victims of priest sex abuse need validation, as you put it, and healing, as you say they do.However, Monsignor Lynn was found not guilty on two charges and guilty on one charge, which could be overturned on appeal.The jury reached no decision on Fr. Brennan. So prosecutors could bring him to trial again.These are very mixed results, to say the least.Under the circumstances, I would say that it is premature to take relief in Monsignor Lynn's conviction on one charge, because his conviction can be overturned on appeal.
Mark Proska: Aeschylus famously wrote of learning through suffering. Yes, Monsignor Lynn has suffered through this legal trial. It remains to be seen what all he may have learned through his suffering.
The jurors, it was reported, were clear on the conviction count and many wanted the conspiracy one also until they were unable to fit that withe elements of proof on that count explained by the judge.Of course, there'll be an appeal.But the real lesson was the one given a few miles away, later last night, by PA Attorney General Linda Kelly in her press conference following the Sandusky convictions.The conference (if it were possible) should be shown to every chancery/curia and even to is Holiness who thinks sex abuse by priests is a"mystery."If possible, it would make a great thread here also,Because - it's just not about the awful pervert, Jerry S. or even, as the papers stress today"believe the kids" but about responsibility for what happens -something profoundly absent in the mind of Msgr. Lynn who "did his best."
The real criminal is Cardinal Bevilacqua. But hes dead, you say. Aha, theres a precedent in our Church history for putting a deceased person on trial. In 897, the body of Pope Formosus was exhumed, seated on a chair, dressed in his papal finery, and condemned for the crimes of perjury, changing his sees (now not a crime in the Church, e.g., Lori from Bridgeport to Baltimore, Chaput from Denver to Philadelphia, Dolan from Milwaukee to New York). The body of Pope Formosus was mutilated. (The three fingers he used for blessing and consecrating bishops were cut off.) His mutilated body was then thrown into the Schuylkill River (oops, meant Tiber River). A hermit recovered the body and buried it.The rest of the story is that this famous Cadaver Synod was later annulled and the pope who had a hand in the synod was deposed and put to death by strangulation. The body of Pope Formosus was exhumed again and reburied in St. Peters Basilica. But, my point still stands. We have a precedent.
I would hope that the lesson is less what Msgr Lynn "learned," and hopefully what other bishops and people in personnel positions will take from this and institute in their own dioceses. Children are not safer because Msgr Lynn spent last night in jail. Let's keep in mind the strong taint of vengeance in the crowing on this verdict. The prosecution did itself little credit in this case, given the reporting on Ralph Cipriano's blog.It is likely that Msgr Lynn would not allow his superiors a pass were he ever again in a chancery position. The trial alone was embarrassing enough.We should recognize that it is very likely that many unsung heroes have stood up to evil, but they are likely anonymous schleps serving in exile in remote corners of their dioceses.It will be interesting to see how Bishop Finn fares with his legal proceedings in the coming year.
Paul, if you are sad for Lynn, you need to talk to more of the 100,000 (Vatican experts' own recent estimate) American survivors of priest abuse. While I feel for Lynn's family, he is getting off easy, certainly compared to the many dozens of victims who will go to their graves suffering because of Lynn's cowardly crimes.Now it is time for the Philly DA, Seth Williams, to finish the job and fully investigate Cardinal Rigali's possible endangerment role, as well as numerous other Philly Archdiocese present and former officials and their lawyer facilitators. The pope must also respond fully NOW or resign. The Philly jurors have solved the pope's "mystery" about priest abuse--it is a crime, and not very mysterious after all if you really investigate. For more info on the implications of the Lynn guility verdict for the pope and U.S. bishops, please read, "The Jury Has Spoken! Will The Pope Now Speak?", accessible by clicking on at:http://www.bilgrimage.blogspot.com/2012/06/gerald-t-slevin-jury-has-spok... short piece also has an embedded link to Brian Roewe's NCR article with my comment, "Philly DA's and Pope's Next Moves?", which sets forth specific decisions that the Philly DA and the pope need to take NOW to protect American children. From past experience here, I do not expect many regular dotcommonweal bloggers to read, and many fewer to comment, on my links. That is their problem and helps explain to me why the Church is in the bad shape it is. You do what you can. Hopefully, no one dear to them will be the next victim of some predatory priest. It hasn't happened to anyone dear to me, but then again, "Who is my neighbor?'
Jerry,I do read your comments. But I wonder if your opinion that the pope is calling the shots with the US Bishops is the whole picture. I see it the other way around. I think he is too influenced by the US hierarchy, e.g., Cardinals Levada and Burke in high curial postitions and also Cardinal Anderson (Cardinals could be laymen at one time.)
Do you think there can be charity where there is no justice?Yes. Btw here is how the case is reported in the philly paper:Verdict a blow to Philly prosecutors, parishioners, clergy...The only count on which Lynn was convicted involved a victim that he acknowledged in testimony he had dropped the ball on. He had apologized for his failings on the witness stand...http://www.philly.com/philly/news/breaking/20120622_Verdict_a_blow_to_bo...
No one has yet proven that the Vatican orchestrated the approach taken by bishops not only in the United States but also in other countries.However, no one has yet disproved Vatican orchestration of the approach taken by bishops.The bishops do have to report to the pope and Vatican periodically. In those visits by the bishops, the Vatican could have advised bishops about how to handle allegations of sex abuse made against priests -- by transferring them from parish to parish.In light of the exalted view of priests and the exalted view of bishops, such Vatican orchestration does not seem unlikely.When Pope Benedict XVI says that priest sex abuse is a "mystery," I think he means that according to the church's exalted view of priests, they should not be engaging in sex abuse. So it's a "mystery" to Benedict.Benedict will probably be one of the last people who will say that the church's exalted view of priests should be revised to a less exalted view of priests.
I agree that Msgr. Lynn's guilty verdict is a "watershed moment" for the AOP as Philly DA Seth Williams put it in his press conference on Friday. This guilty verdict will be felt both in the AOP and throughout the church in this country and hopefully around the world. The fact that later in the day Jerry Sandusky was found guilty of over 40 counts of the sexual abuse of 10 young men when they were children will also resonate across PA and country. The RCC hierarchy will not dare to attempt again to blame the sexual abuse of children on the American culture, homosexuals, or the any permissive attitude of the 1960s. They sank quickly when the Holy See first floated them out. That criminal charges could be brought against Jerry Sandusky because statutes of limitation had not expired highlights the inability of bringing any criminal charges forward in response to the 2005 grand jury report on the AOP. Criminal charges have been brought against just one diocesan priest, one order priest (OSFS), one defrocked priest (pleaded guilty to the sexual abuse and conspiracy charges), and one lay teacher thus far in response to the 2011 grand jury report. Will there be more criminal charges resulting from the 2011 PGJR? I don't know. Civil charges?The AOP's Apology Statement does not admit to or address the underlying culture that the bishops, as a group, past and/or present, were and are a part of that has enabled and facilitated this kind of sexual abuse over so many decades. The hierarchial abuse of power and authority has never been admitted to or addressed. It may have reached its full flower with Cardinal Anthony Bevilaequa but there is long line that begins going back in history with Cardinal Krol.The fact that bishops and state Catholic Conferences have viciously opposed SOL reform in every state where it has been proposed indicates that the Clerical Culture is very much alive and well.Moreover the great majority of victims of childhood sexual abuse never ever come forward. They rarely tell their spouses or family members. Those who seek justice as adults who even begin to come to terms with what has happened to them are thwarted by disbelief, intimidation, harassment and bullying, especially where religious institutions are involved in enabling, facilitating or covering up for rogue members. Will this first guilty verdict touch the consciences of members of the hierarchy to be accountable and transparent as they promised to be in, what was it 2003 or 2004?In Pennsylvania actively supporting House Bills 832 & 878 would be a strong sign of such accountrability and transparency. Do bishops realize that promises of accountability and transparency for the present and the future does not absove one of accountability and transparency for the crimes and grevious moral failures (mortal sins?) of the past. I spoke to the necessity of House Bills 832 & 878 when they were first introduced in Harrisburg at the invitation of Rep. Mike McGeehan. I am ashamed that these bills which would completely remove the criminal and civil statutes of limitation regarding the sexual abuse of children (HB 832) and would provide a civil window of two years that would allow previously time barred cases of childhood sexual abuse to be brought forward (HB 878) are not being supported by PA's hierarchy or state Catholic Conference. To escape culpability and protect the church from scandal, (the bishops have done a great job in that area, haven't they?) the hierarchy would deny access to civil justice for those already denied access to the criminal justice system.What chutzpah.Sister Maureen Paul TurlishAdvocate for Victim/Survivors & Legislative firstname.lastname@example.com
Philadelphia Inquirer website:"Prosecutors never denied that others were equally culpable, and grilled Bevilacqua during a private deposition two months before his death in January. The other church officials implicated in the shredding, Bishops Joseph R. Cistone and Edward P. Cullen, were not called as witnesses.Williams would not say whether they, or others, might still face prosecution."Many members of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia had dirty hands," the district attorney said in his first public comments since the judge lifted a yearlong gag order. "My job is to find people we can prove guilty beyond a reasonable doubt."http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20120623_Jury_convicts_Lynn_of_one_cou...
The mystery that the Pope declared was not the fact that priests abuse, as some have suggested. It was "the fact that people who regularly received the Lords body and confessed their sins in the sacrament of Penance have offended in this way [abuse] " "It remains a mystery." This came right after his being appalled that priests and consecrated persons "abused people and undermined the credibility of the Churchs message". His primary concerns are clear. http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2012/0617/breaking102.html The fact that, in the process, many human victims endured what has been called "soul murder" appears to escape his attention. (And he delivered this message to Ireland, of all places.) He does not appear to be a likely source of help in dealing with the cardinals and bishops who, with self-proclaimed underling Lynn, created the recent history of the Philadelphia Archdiocese as documented by Grand Juries and trials. By one report, there are two criminal trials pending in the fall and then 8 civil trials. These may be more helpful to the Church than the Pope.
Bruce, It is hard for me to understand your point. You seem to be implying that conviction on only one count indicates that the jury was minimizing the case. That's not the way I read it at all. My take is that the jury considered Lynn to be a pawn, with the real guilt lying with the Cdl. Bevilacqua, now unreachable by mortal law. It seems pretty clear that there was vast corruption in the Philadelphia Archdiocese, emanating from His Eminence himself. Lynn made the case that he passed up the chain of command the list of perpetrators, only to have it quashed. A slim defense, that but an almost effective one.
I derplore the continued minimizing of the Lyn conviction by some (only one count).We wil never get ahead if we keep trying to play the institutional protection game -again, please lkisten to PA Atty General Kelly - we are all responsible to do what is right to protect children - not bishops or up the line!
Jerry,If you think that few dotCommonwealers read your links, might that say something more about you than about us? Have you ever had a moment of self-doubt? Your bombastic and arrogant tone would make some Renaissance popes even blush--and God knows they didn't blush over much.Hope you are enjoying the gorgeous day, at least here in NYCPeace and love,Anthony
Hi, Bruce,You wrote, Anyone who believes this has no idea what is good for survivors. The only way forward for them is to forgive and move on. I agree that its very important to reach the point where one can forgive. My question is, what does it take to get to that point? Could it be that one of the things it takes is court decisions like this one? I say that because of something Carolyn Disco wrote: that such decisions validate what our friends suffered. Being believed is an incredible relief. For me, her words carry great weight because, as has become clear over the years on this blog, shes the one among those of us participating here who has spent the most time listening to survivors and, as she put it, hearing the screams and getting a sense of the fear, the shame and the crippling anxiety they have suffered. Maybe a public showing, in a court decision, that we believe them (a validation, as she put it), is an important step in the healing process, and even a required one if the victim is ever to reach the point of being able to truly forgive. If thats the case, Paul Moses was right when he wrote, at the beginning of this thread, that Its a sad day for Lynn, and for the church. And yet, its a necessary one.Heres something else to consider. While its from a different context -- the forgiving and healing thats needed by those who have been the victims of war -- it also speaks to the situation were discussing here. These excerpts are from the closing paragraphs of Tina Rosenbergs article (What Did You Do in the War, Mama?) in the N.Y. Times Sunday Magazine:
So the truth commission is all the victims will get -- no compensation for their losses, no documentation of the crimes, no justice. . . . The men and women who waged the war have chosen to pardon one another and call it reconciliation. . . . Is it worth it to reopen wounds when we've been able to throw a little forgetting on them?'' [General Blandon] said. He was one of several military men I met who used the word ''forgetting'' as something positive. I had never before, in any country, heard people use the word that way. . . . The experience of the disappeared children and their families shows that uncovering the past and righting what can in some small measure be righted is painful and disruptive. But for most of them, it has produced some kind of reconciliation -- and they may be the only victims of the war to have achieved it. ''They talk about pardon and forgetting,'' [Father Jon] de Cortina said. ''But no human being can forget what happened to a loved one -- if you can, you are not a human being. Pardon is possible, but you have to know whom to pardon. You can't pardon the universe, or the fog. God only pardons those who repent. Why should we be more generous than God?'' http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E05E5DB1338F934A35751C0A...
Sexual abuse is a horrible thing, but it is a societal problem not a Catholic problem.Moreover, here has been a terrible double standard in the media coverage of these abuse cases.If the Philadelphia case had involved an administrator in a public school superintendent's office, would this case have been national news? NO.Present-day cases in the Church are very rare, while abuse in other institutions like public schools is widespread. Yet, the media continues to focuses on Church cases, most of which occurred decades ago.Here are the troubling details of the double standard:http://www.catholicworldreport.com/Item/1403/continuing_double_standards... be fair, it is now time for the media to turn its focus to the people who were public school principals and superintendents 40 years ago and examine how they handled their abuse cases, which would have far outnumbered those in the Church. My guess, given the societal view of abuse back then, is that they likely handled their cases in a similar way as the Church did.I believe those victims deserve justice also.
JH, the Atty General of pA profusely thanked the media for its coverage of sandusky case and its impact on urging victims not only in that matter but (she added) across the country to come forward!I deplore also the so called media double standard approach and particularly look at the other guys - a deflection from out own horrendous handling of matters.BTW much press coverage on Horace Mann in the Bronx(through the years) and the Hassidics in Brooklyn and the DA's actions there.It's been long established that without the media, Boston in 2002 would not have had the same awareness of the awful eveils there.But Law resigned and carries on powerfully even yet in Rome.Double standard media?When willl we grow up and learn to stop minimizing??? And really deal with our dirty linen -including the works of the hierachy?

By John D. BanusiewiczAmerican Forces Press Service
PORTOROZ, Slovenia, Sept. 28, 2006 Military equipment, availability of troops and the alliance's willingness to use them are on the table here as NATO defense ministers meet today and tomorrow, Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said here today.
"Over the next two days we have a chance to address the real political issues -- of resources, of available forces and, principally, of political will," the secretary-general said in remarks opening the NATO defense ministerial conference.
Scheffer emphasized the need for NATO to succeed in its security and stabilization mission in Afghanistan. "In Afghanistan, NATO's forces are conducting complex and challenging military operations," he said, "and they are doing this with great courage and in a successful way."
Afghanistan can move forward only if NATO's efforts are successful, he said, and the stakes are high. "For the sake of the Afghan people, and indeed for all of us, security must prevail to allow reconstruction and development to proceed," he said. "Opposing forces must be dealt with in a conclusive way. Afghanistan must never again become a launching pad for international terrorism."
Among the key topics under discussion will be a timetable for NATO's International Security Assistance Force to assume operational control of eastern Afghanistan, having already taken charge of the effort in the rest of the country.
"We must -- and I am sure we will -- finish the job and ensure the success of our operation in Afghanistan," Scheffer said.
The secretary-general noted that students from all 26 NATO nations have been here for the past few days, discussing the issues the defense ministers will discuss.
"I was impressed by their dedication and the quality of the debate," he said. "And I was reminded how the younger generation also take an interest in what this alliance is doing. They too stressed that NATO must stay the course in Afghanistan. And they noted that instability in that country would only serve to enable drug lords to continue to produce more of the opium that will be sold on our streets and blight their peers' lives. We must not fail in Afghanistan, and that was also the conclusion of the students."
With NATO's annual summit meeting scheduled in Riga, Latvia, in two months, the defense ministers' discussions here come at what Scheffer called "a critical juncture."
"We need to address not only success today but also success tomorrow: how to consolidate and extend the modernization of our forces for future operations," he said.

Curling Calendar update – November 2013
It's been a busy two weeks out on the competitive curling circuit!
The first event in the Grand Slam of Curling series, the Masters, was played in Abbottsford, B.C., from October 30 – November 3. On the men's side of the draw, two of our Goldline ambassadors made it into the playoff round. Niklas Edin made it to the quarter-finals where he lost to ultimate champion Glenn Howard, while team Kevin Martin made it as far as the semi-finals. On the women's side of the draw, three of our Goldline ambassadors advanced to the playoffs. Team Jennifer Jones made it to the semi-finals; well done ladies! And it was an all Goldline final, with Rachel Homan beating Eve Muirhead of Scotland to take home the title of Masters' Champion. Congratulations!
Meanwhile, in Red Deer, Alberta, a field of 32 men's teams took part in the Red Deer Curling Classic from November 1-4. When the dust had settled, Goldline ambassadors team Brock Virtue emerged as the champions! Team Virtue has had a great start to the season. In addition to this win, the team qualified for the playoffs at the Direct Horizontal Drilling Fall Classic and at the Canad Inns Prairie Classic. And just this past weekend, they made it as far as the semi-final round at the White's Drug Store Classic in Swan River, Manitoba. Brock, Braeden, Chris and D.J. – well done and keep up the good work!
Last week, the final four openings for the Olympic trials were filled. It was quite the week in Kitchener, and Goldline is delighted that two of its own ambassadors emerged with spots at the Roar of the Rings in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in December. A huge congratulations is extended to team Morris (skip John Morris, Jim Cotter, Tyrel Griffith, Rick Sawatsky) and to team Jacobs (skip Brad Jacobs, Ryan Fry, E.J. Harnden, Ryan Harnden). Goldline wishes you good luck at the trials! On the women's side of the draw, the teams skipped by Val Sweeting and Rene Sonnenberg also came out with spots at the trials.

Rachel Iadicicco (301) 734-3255
WASHINGTON May 15, 2006–The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is seeking public comment on a petition to deregulate a plum genetically engineered (GE) to be resistant to plum pox. The plum has been regulated under permit since September 1995.
The petition, submitted by USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS), is in accordance with APHIS' regulations concerning the introduction of GE organisms and products. APHIS has prepared a draft environmental assessment (EA) to determine whether deregulating the plum could have a significant impact on the environment. Based on the scientific evidence presented by ARS, APHIS' current preferred alternative is to deregulate the plum.
ARS and APHIS are separate agencies of USDA. ARS is the research arm and works to find solutions to agricultural problems. ARS is required to follow the same procedures as other developers of GE products. APHIS is responsible for protecting U.S. agriculture and the environment from animal and plant pests and diseases. APHIS regulates GE products in cooperation with the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Food and Drug Administration.
APHIS makes a determination of nonregulated status only when it can conclude that the organism does not pose a plant pest risk. If APHIS grants ARS' petition for deregulation, the plum and its progeny would no longer be regulated articles. The product could then be freely moved and planted without the requirement of permits or other regulatory oversight by APHIS. In addition to APHIS review, ARS is consulting FDA on the food safety of this GE plum variety.
APHIS has been safely regulating GE organisms since 1986 and has overseen the deregulation of more than 70 products.
APHIS is seeking comment on the petition as required by its regulations. APHIS also invites comments on the EA.
Notice of this action is scheduled for publication in May 16 Federal Register.
Consideration will be given to comments received on or before July 17. Send an original and three copies of postal mail or commercial delivery comments to Docket No. APHIS-2006-0084, Regulatory Analysis and Development, PPD, APHIS, Station 3A-03.8, 4700 River Road, Unit 118, Riverdale, MD 20737-1238. If you wish to submit a comment using the Internet, go to the Federal eRulemaking portal at http://www.regulations.gov and, in the "Search Regulations and Federal Actions" box, select "Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service" from the agency drop-down menu; then click on "Submit." In the Docket ID column, select APHIS-2006-0084 to submit or view public comments and to view supporting and related materials available electronically.
Comments are posted on the Regulations.gov Web site and may also be viewed at USDA, Room 1141, South Building, 14th St. and Independence Ave., S.W., Washington, D.C., between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. To facilitate entry into the comment reading room, please call (202) 690-2817.

Thompson for probate judge
It is my honor to endorse Jane Page Thompson for probate judge of Aiken County.
Thompson has experience as an accredited land consultant and Realtor. This has given her an in-depth knowledge of the true value of property in Aiken County. She currently serves as the management coordinator for Fox and Hound Reality, Aikens largest property management company and serves on the City of Aiken Board of Zoning Appeals. Thompson has devoted much of her time advocating for property tax values. She has also worked with my fellow elected officials of South Carolina to help lessen the burden on business and property investors through legislation.
Thompson is a true servant to her community, and over the past 13 years she has taken the lead in charity events within Aiken County. Thompson has taken the time to learn and understand the people of Aiken County and if elected I believe she will serve the community with a sense of dedication and loyalty. I hope that you will join me in supporting Thompson for probate judge.

When Barack Obama was still a presidential candidate, he promised to change the way Washington worked. He was swept to power on this mantra of change accompanied by seemingly insurmountable majorities in both houses of Congress. But due to a multitude of factors, major membership changes are coming to the United States Congress that could have interesting implications for the second half of the President's term.
The President opened up several seats through his own appointments. First, with his election to the highest office in the land, he vacated his own seat in Illinois and by choosing Joe Biden as his Vice President he created an opening in Delaware. Through appointments to his cabinet, he also produced holes in New York, (Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State) and in Colorado (Ken Salazar, Secretary of the Interior). Though these vacancies have been filled, they have been replaced by relative newcomers with little name recognition.
Three Democratic Senators have announced they will not seek reelection in November—Chris Dodd (Connecticut), Byron Dorgan (North Dakota) and Evan Bayh (Indiana). These long-serving members of the U.S. Senate will not only vacate seats in states that could go red or blue, but their retirements will also leave behind seats on several powerful committees—Dodd is the embattled chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs that is currently charged with reform of the banking system in response to the 2008 financial crisis.
A rash of retirements are also facing Republicans, with six Senators announcing that this will be their last term—Brownback in Kansas, Bond in Missouri, Voinovich in Ohio, Bunning in Kentucky, Gregg in New Hampshire and Martinez in Florida (who has already resigned and his replacement George LeMieux is not running either).
Add to this the death of long-time Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy and this means that at least fourteen members of the Senate (out of 100) in 2009 will not be returning. This represents an unprecedented number of open races, even before a single ballot has been cast.
In the House of Representatives, sixteen Democrats have announced they will retire this year, along with eighteen Republicans. These thirty four retirements represent only 8 percent of total House membership (435), just over half of what will occur in the Senate, who only face reelection every six years.
This means radical change will be coming to the Senate. It doesn't necessarily translate to a large advantage for one party or another, but it certainly opens the door for new blood among the typically entrenched Senate establishment.
What will these changes mean for the future of our country and for the future of our entrepreneurship policy? Who will the American people choose to represent them to get the economy back on track and create the jobs of the future? Only time will tell, but it's clear that big changes are coming to the United States Senate.

Daily Tip: How to share iPhone and iPad photos via iMessage
You legitimately believe that iPhone users don't know how to MMS? What is this, 2001?
I'm a new iPhone user and want to know these things. Thanks for showing us newbies......
I noticed that while using the phone, iMessage does not work to send pics or messages, it only sends them as a regular sms message.
I believe u need to be on wifi to use iMessage, perhaps you were on 3G at the time
iMessage works over 3G or WiFi. It only falls back to SMS if the other party is out of data coverage or you are out of data coverage.
indeed it does over WiFi and 3G. I have noticed though that sometimes it takes a few seconds just to change from "message" to "imessage" try it. It doesn't happen all the time but I have immediately sent a text only to notice that the first text was an sms with the others being imessage.
I haven't heard this before. You need wifi for iMessage? Are you sure? I will look into this.
Remember that iMessage only works to other iDevice users, so if they don't have that and they have another platform, it's obviously not going to work. If your text box is blue and said iMessage before you started to type, it's going out as iMessage. Simple as that.
I used to get angry/annoyed at these "simple" articles that TiPb always posts... but then I realized 75% of my friends have been jumping on board with the iPhone in the last year or so - even more so with the 4S now.
While I've been using an iPhone since day 1, not everyone has and not everyone uses ALL of these features every day. I find it really easy to send one of these articles to my friends so I don't have to text them 10 texts in order to help them with something simple.
You all can hate all you want but these articles are helpful to some people.
Now, carry on children. ;-)
I'm having a hard time figuring out how to turn on my iPhone or how to hold it. Can we have some writeups on that too? lol

Wednesday, July 9, 2014
Jordan Freeman, a native of Charlotte, North Carolina, has been named the 2014 Lowcountry Race for the Cure Committee co-chairperson, along with Murfreesboro, Tennessee native Kathryn Roberts, for the 21st annual Susan G. Komen Lowcountry Race for the Cure taking place on Saturday, Oct. 18 at the Family Circle Cup Stadium on Daniel Island.
Both women have been actively involved in the Race for the Cure locally for several years.
Jordan Freeman has served as media and stage committee chair in years past and has supported the marketing efforts for the affiliate for several years.
"Being involved has become a passion project of mine, partly to honor those I know who are fighting or have lost their fight to breast cancer, but also because I believe in the work of Komen Lowcountry," says Freeman. "I have seen first-hand where the funds go from this annual race and have met women whose lives have been changed thanks to our community grants. It's powerful.".
Kathryn Roberts has been the volunteer coordination chair for three years.
"Being involved with the Race for the Cure brings so much joy to my heart," said Roberts. "All of the hours and hard work spent by so many volunteers, all of whom are on a mission to help save even one person's life, is inspiring. I originally got involved because I believe in the mission of Komen and what this local group does to serve our community. It truly is more than a race; it's saving lives."
Komen Lowcountry is also pleased to announce the 2014 presenting sponsor, Palmetto Primary Care Physicians (PPCP). Individuals may also sign up to volunteer by calling 843-556-3343 or visiting www.komenlowcountry.org/volunteer.

Good for cdt23.
Glad they took Swoopes. We might not land RSJ if we didn't have Swoopes. in 2013 we need to take Heard since he's the more polished of the 2 QBs next year.
The absurdity of this thread has hit new heights.
Hearing that JT Barrett has committed to bourbon and the buckeyes.
Interestingly enough, Meyer offered Swoopes first. I wonder what he has in mind with Barrett.
Really excited about JT Barrett. Pretty much a surprise because many thought he would commit over the summer at Urban's "Friday Night Lights" at Ohio State. Rumors are going around Joey Bosa and Alex Anzalone are next. Good week of recruiting
i think alot of people would be shocked if Anzalone went anywere but Ohio St, same with Bosa. both are very likley to verbal this weekend along with Sheldon Gibson and James Quick
That would be a huge pick up for Meyers. I'm glad JT is leaving the B12 if he's not coming here.
Look I was riding Monroe's jock in the other thread for two reasons:
1) He led my alma mater to the playoffs for the first time.
2) The guy is a stud on the field.
That said, Monroe is extremely raw. He will get better but he will be a raw prospect coming out due to the coaching he receives and the system he runs. He needs to work on several things in his game. My main gripe with him is getting his shoulders turned toward the los on his sprint outs and bootlegs. He will be a 6'4 220 pound player by his senior year, and will improve considerably each year at QB.
That said Heard is the better player right now, but JT was the better player "right now" when we recruited this years crop.
Shepard was faster and quicker than any of these prospects and had the ability to throw as well as Wynona Ryder's vagina. Swoops is the more applicable comparison, but Monroe has been and will be competing in 5A.
Last edited by Fico; 04-19-2012 at 04:21 PM.
just for the gayturd fan, Anzalone made it offical to Ohio St this morning.
from a Buckeye, does anybody know if there is a website i could follow JT Barretts season next year? stats, film, etc?
Mike Farrell @ rivalsmike
Just heard Joey Bosa might very well have committed to # OhioState, will be interested to see if he says it out loud.
Mike Farrell @ rivalsmike
good source on bosa too. # OhioState
lookin like 0-2 on you're unrealistic nimbrod worthless predictions on the board. but keep fooling you're self i guess. you'll be wrong in the end. Florida fans are such idiots
I was at some seven-on-seven drills, standing on the sidelines, where former Rider Raider and Buffalo Bill David Nelson show up to help out the Rider Raiders in Wichita Falls. Nelson was telling J.T. Barrett about how much of an impact Urban had on his life. J.T. said he felt that Urban seemed like he really cared for his family. It was an interesting conversation to hear.
somebody slip this under burton's door and let's listen for the explosion.
Interesting about Nelson. Because Meyer's former players are all from other schools, they can credibly pretend to be disinterested third parties while actively recruiting for tOSU.
JT Barrett was just featured on College Football Live on ESPNU. They spoke at length about his lack of offer from Texas. He said something along the lines of it making him work harder, and wanting to show Texas what they missed out on.
His film at the Elite 11 camp looked really good. Very good arm, and good speed, but not a lot of size.
I don't blame the player in this case. It is a dumb question for the media ask to begin with: "Why do you think Texas chose Player A instead of you?" The answer is obvious but cannot be spoken.
Sure, he's a hell of a player, but there are many reasons to like Swoopes more.
The guy I talked to already had their 2013 QB committed, and they liked him more than Barrett, too.
At least Barrett can't come back to haunt us; but Cody Thomas might.
He may end up the best of the 3. I still think we got the best one, but I wish CT would have gone somewhere else.

Sorry for bumping this thread but Barrett left Rider's game last Friday after the first series with a knee injury and heard a little scuttlebutt on another board that it may be a torn PCL and MCL. Anybody heard anything?
I know nothing about his injury, but I do know the #1 concern about him is size and durability.
Curse, or just every single recruit in Texas seems to be getting hurtBad news on OSU QB commit JT Barrett, per @BillKurelic. Barrett has a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus:
Damn, that's $#@!ing brutal. Was he playing on Missouri's field?
What's bad is that while I didn't watch or listen to the game, what I read is that he left after the first possession. He scored a rushing TD and the according to the boxscore ran in a 2 point conversion. He would have had to have been hurt on that conversion. Sucks to suffer that kind of injury to go up 8-0 rather than 7-0.

- Pluto: a Monte Carlo simulation tool for hadronic physics (2007)
- Pluto is a Monte-Carlo event generator designed for hadronic interactions from Pion production threshold to intermediate energies of a few GeV per nucleon, as well as for studies of heavy ion reactions. The package is entirely based on ROOT, without the need of additional packages, and uses the embedded C++ interpreter of ROOT to control the event production. The generation of events based on a single reaction chain and the storage of the resulting particle objects can be done with a few lines of a ROOT-macro. However, the complete control of the package can be taken over by the steering macro and user-defined models may be added without a recompilation of the framework. Multi-reaction cocktails can be facilitated as well using either mass-dependent or user-defined static branching ratios. The included physics uses resonance production with mass-dependent Breit-Wigner sampling. The calculation of partial and total widths for resonances producing unstable particles is performed recursively in a coupled-channel approach. Here, particular attention is paid to the electromagnetic decays, motivated by the physics program of HADES. The thermal model supports 2-component thermal distributions, longitudinal broadening, radial blast, direct and elliptic flow, and impact-parameter sampled multiplicities. The interface allows angular distribution models (e.g. for the primary meson emission) to be attached by the user as well as descriptions of multi-particle correlations using decay chain templates. The exchange of mass sampling or momentum generation models is also possible. The first feature allows for consistent coupled-channel calculations, needed for a correct description of hadronic interactions. For elementary reactions, angular distribution models for selected channels are already part of the framework, based on parameterizations of existing data. This report gives an overview of the design of the package, the included models and the user interface.
- Di-electron spectroscopy in HADES and CBM : from p + p and n + p collisions at GSI to Au + Au collisions at FAIR (2009)
- The study of the electromagnetic structure of hadrons plays an important role in understanding the nature of matter. In particular the emission of lepton pairs out of the hot and dense collision zone in heavy-ion reactions is a promising probe to investigate in-medium properties of hadrons and in general the properties of matter under such extreme conditions. The first experimental observation of an enhanced di-electron yield in the invariant-mass region 0:3 - 0:7 GeV/c2 in p+Be collisions at 4:9 GeV/u beam energy [2] was announced by the DLS collaboration [1]. Recent results of the HADES collaboration show a moderate enhancement above n Dalitz decay contributions for 12C+12C at 1 and 2 GeV/u [3, 4] confirming the DLS results. There are several theoretical explanations of this observation, most of them focusing on possible in-medium modifications of the properties of vector mesons. At low beam energies the question whether the observed excess is related to any in-medium effects remains open because of uncertainties in the description of elementary di-electron sources. In this work the di-electron production in p+p and d+p reactions at a kinetic beam energy of 1:25 GeV/u measured by the HADES spectrometer is discussed. At Ekin = 1:25 GeV/u, i.e. below the n meson production threshold in proton-proton reactions, the delta Dalitz decay is expected to be the most abundant source above the pi 0 Dalitz decay region. The observed large difference in di-electron production in p+p and d+p collisions suggests that di-electron production in the d+p system is dominated by the n+p interaction. In order to separate delta Dalitz decays and np bremsstrahlung the di-electron yield observed in p+p and n+p reactions, both measured at the same beam energy, has been compared. The main interest here is the investigation of iso-spin effects in baryonic resonance excitations and the off-shell production of vector mesons [5]. We indeed observe a large difference in di-electron production in p+p and n+p reactions. Results of these studies will be compared to recent calculations. We will also present our experimentally defined cocktail for heavy-ion data. At much higher beam energies experimental results of the CERES [6] and NA60 [7] collaborations also show an enhancement in the invariant mass region 0:3 - 0:7 GeV/c2, in principle similar to the situation in DLS. A strong excess of lepton pairs observed by recent high energy heavy-ion dilepton experiments hint to a strong influence of baryons, however no data exist at highly compressed baryonic matter, achievable in heavy-ion collisions from 8 - 45 GeV/u beam energy. These conditions would allow to study the expected restoration of chiral symmetry by measuring in-medium modifications of hadronic properties, an experimental program which is foreseen by the future CBM experiment at FAIR. The experimental challenge is to suppress the large physical background on the one hand and to provide a clean identification of electrons on the other hand. In this work, strategies to reduce the combinatorial background in electron pair measurements with the CBM detector are discussed. The main goal is to study the feasibility of effectively reducing combinatorial background with the currently foreseen experimental setup, which does not provide electron identification in front of the magnetic field.
- Status of the Micro Vertex Detector of the Compressed Baryonic Matter Experiment (2010)
- The CBM experiment will investigate heavy-ion collisions at beam energies from 8 to 45 AGeV at the future accelerator facility FAIR. The goal of the experiment is to study the QCD phase diagram in the vincinity of the QCD critical point. To do so, CBM aims at measuring rare probes among them open charm. In order to identify those rare and short lived particles despite the rich combinatorial background generated in heavy ion collisions, a micro vertex detector (MVD) providing an unprecedented combination of high rate capability and radiation hardness, very light material budget and excellent granularity is required. In this work, we will discuss the concept of this detector and summarize the status of the R&D.
- Study of exclusive one-pion and one-eta production using hadron and dielectron channels in pp reactions at kinetic beam energies of 1.25 GeV and 2.2 GeV with HADES (2012)
- We present measurements of exclusive ensuremathπ+,0 and η production in pp reactions at 1.25GeV and 2.2GeV beam kinetic energy in hadron and dielectron channels. In the case of π+ and π0 , high-statistics invariant-mass and angular distributions are obtained within the HADES acceptance as well as acceptance-corrected distributions, which are compared to a resonance model. The sensitivity of the data to the yield and production angular distribution of Δ (1232) and higher-lying baryon resonances is shown, and an improved parameterization is proposed. The extracted cross-sections are of special interest in the case of pp → pp η , since controversial data exist at 2.0GeV; we find \ensuremathσ=0.142±0.022 mb. Using the dielectron channels, the π0 and η Dalitz decay signals are reconstructed with yields fully consistent with the hadronic channels. The electron invariant masses and acceptance-corrected helicity angle distributions are found in good agreement with model predictions.
- Measurement of the quasi free np → npπ+π− and np → ppπ−π0 reactions at 1.25 GeV with HADES (2014)
- We present the results of two-pion production in tagged quasi-free np collisions at a deutron incident beam energy of 1.25 GeV/c measured with the High-Acceptance Di-Electron Spectrometer (HADES) installed at GSI. The specific acceptance of HADES allowed for the first time to obtain high-precision data on π+π− and π−π0 production in np collisions in a region corresponding to large transverse momenta of the secondary particles. The obtained differential cross section data provide strong constraints on the production mechanisms and on the various baryon resonance contributions (∆∆, N(1440), N(1520), ∆(1600)). The invariant mass and angular distributions from the np → npπ+π −and np → ppπ−π0 reactions are compared with different theoretical model predictions.
- A versatile method for simulating pp -> ppe+e- and dp -> pne+e-p_spec reactions (2010)
- We have developed a versatile software package for the simulation of di-electron production in pp and dp collisions at moderate beam kinetic energies (1-2GeV). Particular attention has been paid to incorporate different descriptions of the Dalitz decay Δ rightarrow Ne + e - via a common interface. In addition, suitable parameterizations for the virtual bremsstrahlung process NN rightarrow NNe + e - based on one-boson exchange models have been implemented. Such simulation tools with high flexibility of the framework are important for the interpretation of the di-electron data taken with the HADES spectrometer and demonstrates the wide applicability within the field of nuclear and hadronic physics.

Downloading Google Earth is more complicated than it should be. At least if you want to download only Google Earth and save the installer for a future use. By default, Google downloads a small setup file that installs Google Earth, Google Chrome and Google Updater. Even if you disable the option "Include Google Chrome, a fast new browser for Windows and Mac", you'll still download a Web installer.
Here's how to download the standalone installer for Google Earth:
1. Go to Google Earth's homepage and click on "Download Google Earth".
2. At the bottom of the page, there's a small message: "Customize your installation with advanced setup." Click on "advanced setup".
3. Disable this option: "Allow Google Earth to automatically install recommended updates."
4. Click on "Agree and download" and you'll get the offline installer. The direct download link for the Windows version is: http://dl.google.com/earth/client/advanced/current/GoogleEarthWin.exe.
The advanced setup page offers two other interesting options: installing Google Earth for all user accounts and the full setup for Google Earth 5.0.
Google Chrome should add a similar page that lets you download the standalone installer and a version that installs the software for all user accounts. This page still offers the standalone setup, but it's an old version. Right now, Google Pack is the only option to install Chrome for multiple user accounts.
{ Thanks, Brian. }

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's basketball team shot a season-high 63 percent and got scoring from all 13 players in an 81-70 non-conference win over Austin Peay Wednesday night at the Aaron Dunn Center.
Senior Faith Dupree (Knoxville, Tenn.) with a team-high 17 points off the bench, was 8-of-11 from the field for a scorching 72.7 percent performance. She had six rebounds, two assists and three blocked shots. Senior Taylor Hall (New Tazewell, Tenn.) shot 6-of-10 on the night and added seven rebounds and eight assists, ending her streak of double-doubles. Freshman Chelsey Shumpert (Paducah, Ky.) was 5-of-6, making both of her 3-point shot attempts and scoring a career-high 16 points in 14 minutes while classmate Aryanna Gilbert (Columbia, Tenn.) was 4-for-4 and converted a three-point play for nine points.
Chattanooga tied its season-high for field goals with 34 while attempting a season-low 54 shots for a 63 percent performance. In the first half, its best of the season. UTC was 16-of-26 (61.5%) in the first half and 18-of-28 (64.3%) in the second.
Austin Peay led for most of the first half, but never getting out front by more than five points. The Lady Govs led 27-22 with 4:40 to play on a layup from Alexis Hardaway.
Fifteen seconds later, Hall drew a foul and her two free throws kicked off a 16-0 run over the next 4:05 that was capped off by a 3-point play by Gilbert to give Chattanooga its largest lead of the first half, 38-27 with 20 seconds on the clock. Austin Peay's Tiasha Gray dropped in the final bucket of the half to cut UTC's advantage to 38-29 at intermission.
Shumpert scored Chattanooga's first seven points of the second half, pushing UTC's lead to 45-32 less than one minute into the latter stanza, but APSU answered back. Gray hit a three-pointer to start a seven-point run and capped it off with a short jumper in the paint to make it 45-39 UTC with 16:55 to play.
Over the half, all 13 Chattanooga players saw the court and the lead grew to 73-51 (22 points) with 5:59 to play in the game. Austin Peay battled back getting only as close as 11 points with 27 seconds to play.
Chattanooga outscored Austin Peay 48-30 in the paint and had 22 points off 11 turnovers while UTC's bench outdid the Lady Govs' 35-18. Chattanooga had 20 assists and tied its season-high with seven blocked shots, but turned the ball over 15 times. Austin Peay shot 28-of-69 in the game (40.6%) and had 11 turnovers to go along with eight steals.
Chattanooga will close out the non-conference portion of its schedule Saturday afternoon at East Tennessee in the final of eight consecutive road games. ETSU will rejoin the Southern Conference next fall.
