Jodi Zierhut, a parole and probation agent for the Department of Corrections in Milwaukee, Wis., escorts a client out of her office. She has a caseload of about 40 sex offenders. Another agent comes up to her and whispers, I can't believe he's a sex offender. Even people trained to think otherwise expect a person convicted of a sex crime to look a certain way: a crazy glint in the eye, a bad haircut, thick glasses. Sex offenders rarely fit this description.
Movies and the media have filled people's heads with images of demented men snatching children. These stereotypes, matched with misinformation, make abuse difficult to understand. How could a priest or any upstanding member of the community commit a sex crime?
It is important to answer this question, because the extent of sexual abuse is staggering. In 1994, David Finkelhor collated statistics from over a dozen studies about the sexual abuse of children. The studies indicated at least 20 percent of adult women and 5 percent to 10 percent of adult men experience sexual abuse before the age of 18. The definition of the term sexual abuse varied depending on the study. In general, the term referred to both contact and non-contact activities with children intended for sexual stimulation by the perpetrator.
The National Center for Victims of Crime determined in a 1992 survey that one out of every eight women will be raped in her lifetime. Whether the victim was a child or an adult at the time of the assault or abuse, long-term consequences can include posttraumatic stress (with possible symptoms of nightmares, numbness and jumpiness), low self-esteem, depression, substance abuse and addiction, indiscriminate sexual behavior, eating disorders, self-mutilation and suicide. The effect on children can be truly horrific.
The church community can accomplish a great deal through education to prevent and respond to sexual abuse. To get past the myths of monsters committing sex crimes and victims encouraging assaults by the way they dress or act will make the community less likely to hide behind denial and more open to address abuse directly.
The first of 10 myths that the Center for Sex Offender Management lists in one of its online community education publications (www.csom.org) is, Most sexual assaults are committed by strangers. In fact, in the vast majority of cases the victim knows the perpetrator. Abusers are usually family members, babysitters, boyfriends, teachers or co-workers.
Most sexual abusers plan carefully. Over a period of time, the abuser grooms a victim. C.S.O.M. defines grooming as the process of manipulation intended to reduce a victim's resistance to sexual abuse. Someone who sexually abuses children, for example, might begin by taking the child to restaurants or giving the child gifts. These early incidents not only encourage the child to spend time alone with the abuser, but will help ensure that the child will not disclose a future assault. Once the child feels safe with this person, the abuser might engage in a non-touching crime, like showing the child a pornographic movie. At a later date, the abuser might refer to the movie to initiate a sex act with the child.
Imagining such an abuser, most readers will think of a man. Men commit 9 out of 10 sex crimes. Dr. David Thornton, an international expert in the field, believes America is just starting to accept the fact that women commit sex crimes as well, primarily against children. A 1996 study found that women were responsible for 20 percent of child sexual abuse.
Nobody gets up one day and says, I want to be a sex offender,' Agent Zierhut reminds people. Sex offenders often have no prior criminal record, and they come from all socioeconomic groups and ethnicities. National statistics from 1995 show that 56 percent of arrestees for rape were white, as well as 75 percent of those arrested for other sex offenses. Sexual abuse can start at a young age. Adolescents commit about 20 percent of all sex crimes.
About 30 percent of offenders were sexually abused as children. In an interview conducted by STOP IT NOW!, a national nonprofit organization devoted to preventing the sexual abuse of children, the wife of a sex offender said: My husband was sexually abused as a child. He is a third-generation offender. For these perpetrators, trusted people in their past modeled deviant sexual behaviors for them.
What about the other 70 percent? What might lead someone to commit a sex crime? It can have quite simple origins. Joe Henger, who has treated over 2,000 male and female sex offenders throughout Wisconsin, gives an example of a 14-year-old boy punished and sent to his room for the afternoon. There is nothing in the room to entertain him, and so he might masturbate while feeling very angry. He might unwittingly begin to pair anger and arousal, says Henger.
Many people wonder whether once a person has become an abuser, he or she can ever be rehabilitated. Most sex offenders reoffend, is another myth on the C.S.O.M.'s top 10 list. In fact, as Thornton puts it, Sex crimes have a low rate of recidivism relative to other kinds of crimes. A burglar might have 1,500 victims in a year. A high-risk sex offender might have 150 victims over 30 years. But sex offenses create an enormous tide of human misery. When studies average rates for all types of offenders, without treatment about 35 percent recidivate. That number can be reduced to less than half when an offender engages in regular, long-term treatment.
People's views of recidivism are often skewed, because a small percentage of offenders perpetrate a large number of crimes and generate a huge amount of media attention. Sixteen states have enacted laws to detain indefinitely this small group of offenders (under 10 percent of those sentenced) for treatment after completing prison sentences. A debate is being waged about whether mental health professionals can assess which offenders fit into this group. A recent Supreme Court decision established a tighter definition that states must use to commit indefinitely for treatment these potentially high-risk offenders.
Before the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers was founded in 1984, there was no organization in the United States to establish and monitor guidelines for sex offender therapy and management. Now treatment programs throughout the country use similar models, and researchers are constantly testing to validate their effectiveness. Underlying these techniques is the principle, as stated in the A.T.S.A. standards, that although many, if not most, sexual abusers are treatable, there is no known cure.' Management of sexually abusive behavior is a lifelong task for some sexual abusers (www.atsa.com).
Therapists most often work with groups of different types of offenders. In a group comprised of rapists, pedophiles, perpetrators of incest and exhibitionists, the offenders will question the denial and stories of others. All offenders have created stories that allow them to justify their criminal behavior. An exhibitionist, for example, may think his behavior did not hurt his victims because he did not touch them. Using group dynamics, therapists carefully work with offenders to disclose their crimes, empathize with their victims and put together detailed plans to disrupt the triggers that might lead them to reoffend.
A.T.S.A. looks beyond therapy to manage offenders. The organization recommends a multifaceted program that includes coordination with parole and probation officers, the use of polygraph tests, interaction with an offender's support network and possibly the use of medications.
Multifaceted management was missing in the Archdiocese of Boston. In 1989 Cardinal Bernard Law believed that the former priest John Geoghan had repented and recovered from sexually abusing boys. Father Geoghan had received treatment in the 1980's, and Cardinal Law decided he could return to ministry at St. Julia Parish. If Geoghan had initially been sentenced for any of his crimes, even if he only received probation, it is unlikely that a corrections official would have allowed the priest contact with children. Cardinal Law's faith in the possibility of change was not matched by an understanding of the deeply rooted nature of sexual abuse.
According to Agent Zierhut, who has worked with sex offenders since 1994, Geoghan should have known not to place himself in such a high-risk situation. Treatment does not necessarily rid an offender of deviant thoughts and urges, she explains. Treatment gives an offender the tools to aid him in controlling his deviant behaviors. Zierhut advises, The church can put safeguards into the offender's life, thereby helping to prevent future offenses.
As dioceses throughout the United States write new policies about sexual abuse, some may take the not in my backyard approach so typical in communities when sex offenders return. When a neighborhood rises up and insists that an offender live somewhere else, the danger merely moves elsewhere. If the church forces a priest to leave the ministryalthough this is better than moving a priest from parish to parishthe church community has done nothing to put in place necessary treatment and supervision.
People in churches across the country are wondering what they can do to help both victims and abusers. Priests, pastoral ministers, teachers, parents and others in the church can take action in a number of ways.
Avoid blaming victims. In a recent article for the Whitestone Foundation (whitestonefoundation.net), which is dedicated to fostering healing in the aftermath of a sexual offense, the organization's founder, Tamara Menteer, writes, Many people, without admitting it, remain fixed on the idea that victims somehow bring the assault upon themselves. Vulnerable and blameless victims may feel a broad range of emotions: shame, an inability to trust, fear and guilt. Victims need therapy and succor to help them restore their sense of meaning.
Some people assume that alleged victims have made false accusations. Although false accusations do occur, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has found them to be no more frequent than for other crimes. Finkelhor's 1994 study notes, Most states mandate that professionals report even suspicions of abuse. Agency investigators use discretion in checking out claims. For example, a study Finkelhor co-authored concluded investigators dismissed 82 percent of all allegations lodged against day care workers.
False reports are not the same as unsubstantiated reports. An unsubstantiated report lacks the evidence necessary to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the criminal justice system that a crime may have occurred. During an investigation, the church community can maintain respect for all parties involved.
Keep in mind offenders. Menteer writes, In contrast to the victim, response to the sexual offender by congregations is either to support the offender as if he is innocent, ostracize him completely or act as if nothing happened at all. Alisa Klein, director of public policy at STOP IT NOW!, characterizes all these reactions as forms of denial. We want to deny that there are those among us who could do these sorts of things, she explains. We don't want their deeds to reflect upon us, so we ostracize them.
In order to be rehabilitated, offenders need assistance as well. They need people who will see them as not defined solely by their crime, people who will stand by them as they go through the corrections system, receive treatment and labor to modify their thinking and behavior.
Focus on prevention. The American Medical Association estimated in 1996 that two-thirds of sexual assaults are never reported. Of individuals charged, many are never sentenced. The approximately 386,000 registered sex offenders in the United States represent less than 10 percent of all sex offenders living in communities nationwide. Yet it is not as though unreported abuse is never detected. STOP IT NOW! (www.stopitnow.com) conducted a random survey in Vermont in 1995 with 200 interviewees. Six percent of the respondents said they knew an adult they suspected was sexually abusing a child, and 14 percent admitted knowing a child they suspected was being sexually abused. These people felt uncomfortable directly confronting a potential perpetrator or victim about abuse, and many did not want to call the police.
Perhaps because adults feel so uncomfortable talking about sex in general and about confronting possible abuse in particular, schools now teach children prevention strategies. Educational programs across the country train children to differentiate between appropriate and inappropriate touching. STOP IT NOW! urges parents, teachers and any other adults in contact with children to take more responsibility for deterring offenders. Caregivers need to think carefully about the people who spend time alone with children. Caregivers can watch for warning signs in both adults and children. An adult who insists on touching, kissing, tickling or wrestling with a child, when the child is obviously uncomfortable, is acting inappropriately. A child who fears a certain friend or relative, or simulates sexual activities with toys or other children may have been abused.
Finkelhor tried to find risk factors for child victims in his 1994 study. He could discover no correlations based on social class, ethnicity or single-parenthood. But two factors, which crossed all boundaries, did matter. Emotionally deprived children with a lack of quality supervision were vulnerable to the ploys of sexual abusers. Families and churches can help protect children by providing affection and attention in a safe environment.
Our actual present theology is that an ordained person makes present the sacramental & governing role of the Bishop in the local community.
We need to simply eliminate the whole concept of a division of people into "lay" and "clerical."
The role of the Bishop could recognize what I am convinced is the actual fact: that the community itself is the "Eucharistic priest" whoever may be ordained to preside at that liturgy.
The Bishop could appoint and ordain others according to their natural gift and training to divide the various ministries associated with a priestly function. Some might be "CEO" Others might be spiritual pastor. Others presiders at Liturgy. Others preachers, Those who care for the sick, etc.
No one individual should be "God" to anyone. Note even the Bishop. I know that priests don't quite see the Bishop as such. However much they might see themselves in that role.

If you do any research, you'll see plenty of ugly terms out there describing cellulite, such as cottage cheese thighs or orange peel legs. I'm thinking we should ditch the negativity, drop the ugly words and band together to boost our self-esteem back again. Doesn't society give us enough to feel bad about?
How Many Women have Cellulite?
Approximately 90% of women over the age of 35 deal with cellulite. If 90% of women have cellulite, why are we stressing about something that only 10% of women are without. Unfortunately cellulite isn't one of those things like freckles, which some people stress about, but other people find beautiful but we can certainly give it less negative attention, can't we?
Do I have Cellulite Because I'm Overweight?
Absolutely not. In fact, women of all shapes and sizes (including the very thin) have cellulite. Take a good look at Mom or Grandma's thighs and you might see where your body is headed. Cellulite, or lack thereof, is all in your genes. If mom has cellulite, you can assume you're likely going to have it too.
Does Exercise Get Rid of Cellulite?
Even though anyone can get cellulite, a sedentary lifestyle can cause your cellulite to be more prominent. Exercising is important on so many levels – reducing the appearance of your cellulite is just the icing on the cake. Grab those running shoes and hit the trails.
Do Creams and Lotions Work?
Some creams can help reduce the appearance of cellulite, especially the ones that contain caffeine. The caffeine helps reduce the water retention in your skin, flushing it out, thus making the appearance on the skin smoother. The thing to note is that it's temporary and you need to continue using daily to keep any results you might see.
Is There Anything Else I Can do at Home?
Try dry brushing. Dry brushing is literally brushing your skin with a natural bristle brush. The reason this is so effective is that it stimulations blood circulation and boosts the lymphatic system which will release lymph and toxins under the skin's layers. It also exfoliates your skin leaving it super smooth and soft. (Plus, it feels amazing!) The best time to dry brush is right before your shower. Make sure you moisturize after your shower.
Another thing you can try is deep tissue massage. They make tools for easy massaging at home. Use in conjunction with the caffeine creams for best results. It's not a miracle cure and like we noted with the creams, the results are temporary, but it's easy to do.
If you really want to get serious about your cellulite, contact your dermatologist who can tell you what's available in office. Light therapy, mechanical massage and injections are all current options.
Or, and I Say This with Encouragement, Just Move On!
I think as women we need to band together and focus on the positives about ourselves instead of nit-picking all of the things we can't really change. So you have cellulite; I do, too! I also found my first grey hair this summer, my teeth could be straightened and my eyelashes that are almost non-existent without mascara. It's so easy to fill a laundry list of dislikes.
What about those things that we love. I'll go first. I love my natural red hair. And I won't let cellulite steal the joy I get from wearing my green swimsuit that complements my hair color. Take that, cellulite.
What about you? What do you love about yourself? Share in the comments.

Christina Hendricks Is America's 'Best-Looking Woman,' Until Esquire Needs a New Cover Model
Christina Hendricks won Esquire's "best-looking woman" contest. But she's still stuck in bracket battles for Sexiest Woman Alive, and doesn't even have a rank in Women We Love. Why can't they be more straightforward? Need to know how to judge.
The actress sometimes known as Joan Holloway reportedly won 30 percent of the "best-looking" vote, followed by Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima who scored 17 percent without even being an American. Comparatively hideous Megan Fox won a meager 14 percent of the vote. [Celebutopia]

When we think of bees, honey and pollen are foremost in our thoughts. Yet another important substance, propolis, is a sticky resin secreted by trees. Honeybees collect and metabolize the propolis, then line their hives with it to protect the hive. It's so effective, the interior of the bee hive is safer than most operating rooms. The name Propolis is derived from the Greek meaning "before the city," signifying that propolis defended the entire community from external threat. Propolis has a 5000-year history. The Assyrians and the Greeks used propolis to help maintain good health. Containing 22 amino acids, B-complex vitamins and fortified with royal jelly, Forever Bee Propolis is an excellent way to help support the body's natural defenses.
Forever Bee Propolis is gathered from pollution-free regions. To further assure purity, specially designed bee propolis collectors are used. Forever Bee Propolis is 100% natural with no added preservatives or artificial colors. It is also an excellent natural food form, loaded with nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and a rich supply of other elements in trace amounts.

Humei Trading Inc of 147-34 176th Street 1st Floor, Jamaica NY 11434, is recalling its 340g (12oz) Packages of "Dried Lily" because they contained undeclared sulfites. Consumers who have severe sensitivity to sulfites run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product.
The product "Dried Lily" comes in a 340g, (12oz) clear plastic bag and was distributed only in Flushing, New York.
The recall was initiated after routine sampling by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Inspectors and subsequent analysis by Food Laboratory personnel revealed the presence of sulfites in the 340g package of "Dried Lily" which were not declared on the label. The consumption of 10 milligrams of sulfites per serving has been reported to elicit severe reactions in some asthmatics. Anaphylactic shock could occur in certain sulfite sensitive individuals upon ingesting 10 milligrams or more of sulfites. Analysis of the "Dried Lily" revealed they contained 409.1 ppm per serving.
No illnesses or allergic reactions involving this product have been reported to date. Consumers who have purchased the 340g package of "Dried Lily" are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the Humei Trading Inc at 718-995-6818.

Buyer beware! When shopping for an upscale blouse in the most prestigious department stores in Japan, you might encounter Mathematica and not even know it. That's because the very fabric that makes that shirt might have been designed by Igor Bakshee, an avid Mathematica aficionado and user.
Bakshee, a physicist, got into fabric design when doing research on statistical radiophysics in Science University of Tokyo. His design work started with a routine application of a particular type of stochastic processes, the so-called 1/f fluctuations. From there, the transition from physicist to artist was so fast that Bakshee was soon doing design for several major Japanese textile companies. Bakshee's work became more and more in demand, and he used Mathematica to create designs for everything from blouses to gift wrap to office wall hangings to fine art prints. His work became so popular, it was even noticed by the folks at Wolfram Research, and we liked his work so much we hired him!

Cerebral Palsy: Other Medical Problems
Topic Overview
The specific effects of cerebral palsy (CP) on a person depend on its type and severity, the level of mental impairment, and whether other health problems are present or other complications develop.
Other health problems
Health problems that may occur along with CP include:
- Seizures. Many people with cerebral palsy have seizures, most commonly people with spastic hemiplegic CP (in which the arm and leg on the same side of the body are affected) and total body CP. Children with CP usually have their first seizure between the ages of 2 and 6 years.
- Vision problems. People with cerebral palsy commonly have vision problems stemming from problems with the muscles that control their eye movements. The vision problems include strabismus, nystagmus, amblyopia, and being nearsighted.
- Hearing loss. Hearing problems are common with cerebral palsy. They are more likely to occur in people whose CP was caused by viral infection (such as rubella) before birth or in people who have dyskinetic CP.
- Speech problems. Some people with cerebral palsy may have difficulty speaking because of problems moving their tongues and vocal cords. They also may have problems expressing themselves with words and/or have problems reading.
- Intellectual disability. This occurs in some people who have CP. It is most common in people who have total body CP, which affects the entire body to some degree, or in people who also have seizures. Sometimes the disability has a greater impact on a person's life than cerebral palsy. Mild degrees of intellectual disability or learning disabilities may be detected in individuals before the cerebral palsy is noticed.
Complications can also occur with CP, such as:
- Joint problems. Permanently stiff joints (contractures) and dislocated hips may develop. In addition, some preteens, teens, and young adults develop abnormal curves in the spine (scoliosis).
- Bowel and bladder problems. Stools may become hard and difficult to pass and may cause pain. Bladder problems may lead to bedwetting or daytime incontinence.
- Choking. People with CP may cough, gag, and choke when eating. They may inhale food into their lungs, which can cause pneumonia. People with total body cerebral palsy are most prone to gagging and choking.
- Acid reflux (GERD). Stomach acid washing back into the esophagus (gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD) can cause pain, irritation, and bleeding.
- Slowed growth. Growth problems may be caused by poor nutrition or by damage to certain parts of the brain: babies with CP may not gain weight at the same rate as other babies their age, young children with CP may be shorter than average, teens' sexual development may be slower than normal. Other growth problems may also occur, such as muscles tightening around the long bones of a leg. This can result in one shorter leg, which makes walking difficult.

calligraphy class
doing a calligraphy class had been on my plans (and list) for ages. i've always been attracted to nice penmanship, so it seemed like the next logical step. last week, i found one class by accident through gidsy and enlisted right at the last minute.
the class was great, and we learnt how to draw most letters of lowercase english copperplate script. it's a relatively simple script, but hard work nonetheless! by the end of it, my hand was hurting from all the tension i was putting on my nib, but i felt like we were all more confident and ready to start practising on our own. i certainly intend to! :)

Obesity and Weight Management
Overweight 13 yr. old Male
My son just turned 13. He is about 30-40lbs overweight. He has been seen by our physician to make sure that nothing medically is wrong. All blood results were within normal limits. I have been trying really hard to watch his diet. More protein and vegtables and less carbs. Also walking with him about a 1 1/2 every a.m. In a month he has lost about 2 lbs.! What can I do to help him. He doesn`t say much, but I know the weight bothers him! I am overweight myself, so I know how it goes. He has also developed breast! Is that normal? Is that Hormones?
In growing children, weight management is best monitored by a health professional. Make an appointment to see a pediatric dietitian with your son (please see links below). You have made some beginning steps - watching what you and your son eat and exercising together. Now take it a step further and find out from a professional what your son`s diet should consist of. Every child needs a certain amount of carbohydrates every day to function properly/grow properly, especially if that child is active.

With a Cherry on the Top
Added Jun 24, 2013
by Debbie Alli
Washington, Unit...
Off-white cotton with ripe cherries. Hem bound with bias and a little bow to finish.
Based on the sweetheart dress/bodice from 04/2013, I used a section of the skirt to create a little peplum and widened the back, in order to have a little shirred section for comfort – it's just a pop to the shops/playing out top so I wanted comfort, rather than constrained!
I wasn't overly pleased with the way the bodice goes together though – it gets really fiddly around the right angles between body and strap. Next time I will make it fully lined and will placed the centre section, lining attached, between the side section upper and lining fabrics, right sides together, to create a much neater line.
Otherwise a cute design.
Material Notes
Cotton fabric, Shirring Elastic, Bias, Ribbon

I agree with your frustrations on putting together the bodice! I fully lined the top and sewing those right angles was such a pain and it took me a while to realize where they wanted me to sew! I really love your top – great idea making it into a little peplum!

Thanks so much and re the construction, I agree – the instructions weren't very clear at all – but next time I'll go with my plan B above and that should give a really neat finish. The peplum was just because although the corset top is lovely, I wasn't prepared to have my midriff showing :)

I think this one is around Bournemouth somewhere. My only advice would be to double check your order – they sent me 10.75 m of this instead of 0.75m and charged me for it! A bit of a drama but sorted in the end! I'm lucky I have a shop 5 mins from home and another 2 good ones wihtin 10 miles but ebay is fantastic – bought some 60s psychadelic satin yesterday on there for a vintage Burda pattern :) I didn't sew for 10 years – until last year and now I can't stop!! xx

Well that's just the best praise ever, isn't it?! My favourite little 9 year old said to me the other day 'Did you really make my shirt Auntie Debbie? It looks exactly the same as the ones in the shops!' Best praise I ever got, haha!! Happy sewing, Mary xx

Bicycle Stop Turns into Fugitive Arrest
May 30th, 2012 by milwaukeepolice
A stop of a man riding his bicycle illegally turned into a the arrest of a dangerous fugitive for two observant Milwaukee Police Officers.
Tuesday morning at 12:46 a.m., District 7 Officers Matthew Phillipson and Martez Ball were patrolling in the area of N. 49th St. and Fond du Lac Avenue when they conducted a subject stop of a man riding a bicycle on the sidewalk without a light.
The subject fled and was taken into custody a short distance from the original stop. The man refused to provide his name to officers but after he was taken into custody, he was identified as Maurice D. Clemons. A wanted check revealed that Clemons was wanted by the U.S. Marshals in the Western District of Michigan for Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution, Homicide.
Sometimes the subject stops for the little things turn into the big stories! Nice work by these District 7 officers.

The tug of war between the Vatican and Beijing over the appointment of bishops has once again heated up after the ordination on July 7 of a new auxiliary bishop in Shanghai. The Vatican expressed its satisfaction with the licit ordination of Auxiliary Bishop Thaddeus Ma Daqin in a statement released on July 10. Although the Vatican complained about the presence at the ceremony of a bishop not in communion with Rome, it said this papally approved ordination "is encouraging and is to be welcomed." Unfortunately Chinese authorities quickly lost their enthusiasm for Bishop Ma. During his ordination ceremony he renounced his role in the government-approved Catholic Patriotic Association.
Local church sources who attended Bishop Ma's ordination said that he was led away shortly after the ceremony by an unidentified group of people and has since been prohibited from assuming the duties of his office. His whereabouts remain unknown. The bishop did not show up for his first Mass at St. Ignatius Cathedral after telling the congregation at his ordination that he would step down from the local and national offices of the Catholic Patriotic Association to devote himself entirely to his ministry.
Bishop Ma is the first government-approved bishop in recent years to announce publicly that he would give up his duties with the Patriotic Association. On July 11 two government-sanctioned Catholic Church organizations announced an investigation into Bishop Ma's ordination. A church source in Shanghai said on July 11 that the bishops who participated in the ordination ceremony also have been included in the government investigation. Neither government group is recognized by the Vatican. Pope Benedict XVI's letter to Catholics in China in 2007 stated that the aim of the government's Patriotic Association in upholding the national independence of the church in China was incompatible with Catholic doctrine.
Questions linger on the whereabouts of Bishop Ma. Some suggest that he has been arrested, others that he has been restricted to the grounds of the Sheshan Seminary in Shanghai. A Shanghai priest said Bishop Ma was having a difficult time. "It is painful but is good for the conscience of the church in China. His witness is an encouragement for our Catholics, so we can only pray for him," the priest said.
In a related development the Chinese priest Joseph Yue Fusheng has been automatically excommunicated for allowing himself to be illicitly ordained a bishop despite repeated warnings from the Vatican. "The Holy See does not recognize him as bishop of the Apostolic Administration of Harbin, and he lacks the authority to govern the priests and the Catholic community in the Province of Heilongjiang," the Vatican said in the same statement on July 10.
Father Yue was ordained bishop of Harbin on July 6 without a papal mandate, following an acrimonious exchange of notifications between the Vatican and Beijing.
The Vatican said on July 10 that it was still committed to dialogue with Chinese authorities but warned against continued illicit celebrations and episcopal ordinations without papal approval, saying such acts not only harm dialogue but also "cause division and bring suffering to the Catholic communities in China and the universal church."

PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. -- The Pace University men's baseball team opened Northeast-10 Southwest Division with its first win.
The Setters defeated the New Haven Chargers 3-1.
The Setters got off to a fast start with a pair of runs in the opening inning. Senior David Pepe reached on an infield single and scored on a triple from senior Chris Gili. Senior Ian Wukitsch followed with a single to put the Setters up 2-0.
The Chargers were able to come back with a run in their half of the first inning. Both teams were held off the board until the seventh where the Setters added another run from junior Tom Midolo, who scored on a single from sophomore Danny Wynne.
On the mound, juniors Jonathan Chudy and Tim Deegan combined to scatter six hits. Chudy got the start, and pitched the first four innings, allowed one unearned run on four hits and struck out five. Deegan tossed five scoreless innings, allowed two hits and struck out three.
The Setters return home on Friday, March 28 to host the Dominican Chargers.

I updated via the control panel, but when the OLPC restarted, it no longer had the Browse activity - so - how do I get to browse the net??? Have tried updating again (to 801 - works, but still no Browse), and updating to 8.2.1, but my OLPC doesn't recognise 8.2.1 it tells me it doesn't exist (or something to that effect).
Thanks for any assistance. Keila (Australia)

First is a multi-column dropdownlist which I already created.
Second is a gridview with filters per column, with selection for no. of records per page in the footer.
My inspiration to do something like this is Obout. If you have heard and seen Obout controls before, then it would be easier for you to understand. It is a third party control with a lot of great features similar to telerik I suppose but I have not used telerik before.
So the case is I do not want to use third party controls. This is for practice and exploration's sake.
I have a pretty good idea of how to do the two things I mentioned. In fact, I have already coded a simple program and it works. The problem is I want to place it inside a usercontrol so that I can call it anytime without coding everything from scratch. Now, I am confused of how to create the columns and assign the headertext and the datafields.
If I expose the usercontrol property, for example "TableCaption", then that would be
<uc:UserControlName id="ucTest" runat="server" TableCaption="Test" />
But how do I achieve adding the child tags <Columns></Columns> like in gridview or <ItemTemplate></ItemTemplate> for repeater.
I want that when I call the usercontrol, it would have something like those. Any idea of how to do it?

Rufus is a utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc.
It can be especially useful for cases where:
Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need!
Oh, and Rufus is fast . For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin , Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool , on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO. It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USB from ISOs. (1) A non exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is also provided at the bottom of this page. (2)
Last updated 2018.06.19:
Windows 7 or later, 32 or 64 bit doesn't matter. Once downloaded, the application is ready to use.
I will take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the translators who made it possible for Rufus, as well as this webpage, to be translated in various languages. If you find that you can use Rufus in your own language, you should really thank them!
Download the executable and run it – no installation is necessary.
The executable is digitally signed and the signature should state:
If you create a DOS bootable drive and use a non-US keyboard, Rufus will attempt to select a keyboard layout according to the locale of your system. In that case,
1stdibs Teal Python Snakeskin Envelope Clutch e8xnF07aD
, which is the default selection, is recommended over MS-DOS, as it supports more keyboard layouts.
All versions of Rufus since v1.1.0 allow the creation of a bootable USB from an ISO image (.iso).
Creating an ISO image from a physical disc or from a set of files is very easy to do however, through the use of a CD burning application, such as the freely available

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Unions representing high school teachers in Greece have voted to hold "long-term" strikes starting Sept. 16 against public sector staff cuts ordered by the government as part of its bailout agreements.
The leader of the teaching union OLME, Themis Kotsifakis, said Tuesday that union delegates voted overwhelmingly in favor of the weekly rolling protests at a union meeting late Monday.
The move represents the first major challenge to the country's conservative-led government over its program to suspend 25,000 public servants this year and fire 15,000 by the end of 2014.
"Our answer to the (government) is a long-term strike that will take place in a decisive way. We are seeking the support of parents and other unions," said Kotsifakis, who has himself been suspended from his state school teaching job.
Later Tuesday, more than 2,000 teachers protested peacefully outside Parliament in Athens.
Greece is stuck in a sixth year of recession, with the slump worsened by harsh austerity measures demanded by rescue creditors that have pushed unemployment up to more than 27 percent.
Conservative Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has promised to end the recession and return the country to bond markets next year after balancing the budget.
Finance Ministry figures released Tuesday showed he was on the right track, with Greece beating its fiscal targets by a comfortable margin. The country's state budget deficit for the first eight months of the year stood at 2.44 billion euros ($3.22 billion), far narrower than the targeted 7.83 billion euro ($10.33 billion) deficit.
Greece's primary budget — which does not take into account interest payments due on outstanding loans — posted a surplus of 2.9 billion euros, compared to a target of a 2.49 billion euro primary deficit.
Teachers at state elementary and private school are also mulling possible strikes, while civil servants are planning a two-day strike next week.
Late Monday, Athens University staff suspended all operations for one week in protest at the staff cuts. Other universities are considering similar action. Hundreds of university administrative staff members held a protest march through central Athens Tuesday, as did workers at country's General Mining and Metallurgical Company who were protesting austerity measures that threaten their jobs.
Greece's international rescue lenders have not said how they will help make the country's national debt sustainable, and Samaras' coalition government faces a tough midterm-test in the spring with municipal and European parliament elections. Polls suggest that Greece's anti-bailout parties are gaining ground.
Debt inspectors from the so-called troika of the European Union, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund are due back in Athens later this month.

Industry Veteran to Discuss Trends in Marketing to Healthcare Practitioners and Health Literacy
Industry Veteran to Discuss Trends in Marketing to Healthcare Practitioners and Health Literacy
PRINCETON, NJ--(Marketwire - Oct 16, 2012) - Agile Therapeutics announced today that Katie MacFarlane, Pharm.D, who is responsible for the company's commercial activities, will be presenting at Digital Pharma East, taking place October 15-18 in Philadelphia.
Dr. MacFarlane will be participating in the panel discussion "Health Literacy in the Digital World: How to Develop Health Initiatives So Patients Can Not Only Read, But Understand, and Act on the Information" on October 16 at 4:45 pm ET. Dr. MacFarlane will also be giving an individual presentation on October 17 at 8:30 am ET entitled "5 Top Trends Affecting Promotion to Healthcare Practitioners - Implications for Pharmaceutical Marketers." Her presentation will share results from a survey of pharmaceutical marketers, executives, and service providers to highlight the most important trends and their implications, covering trends such as decreased access to health care providers, increased use of smart phone technology, pressure on coverage and reimbursement, and corporate focus on gross margin.
A 23-year veteran of the pharmaceutical industry, Dr. MacFarlane is currently playing an instrumental role in the preparation for commercialization of Agile's investigational once-weekly contraceptive patch, AG200-15, which is designed to deliver a low daily dose of hormones. Agile recently filed the NDA for AG200-15 and anticipates a response in the first quarter of 2013.
"I am delighted to participate in Digital Pharma East," said Dr. MacFarlane. "During the past five years, there have been a number of shifts in the economic, regulatory, and business environment that are currently affecting promotion of pharmaceutical products to healthcare practitioners and I look forward to discussing these new trends with attendees."
About AG200-15
AG200-15 is an investigational combination hormonal contraceptive patch, designed to deliver a low dose of ethinyl estradiol comparable to low-dose combination oral contraceptives. The phase III trials for AG200-15 enrolled nearly 2,000 women and formed the basis for the Company's application to the US Food and Drug Administration in 2012.
The AG200-15 patch is intended to be applied once weekly for three weeks, followed by a fourth, patch-free week. The patch is designed using a soft, flexible cloth, with a silky feel, and is intended to provide excellent adhesion, comfort, and appearance.
About Agile Therapeutics
Agile Therapeutics is a pharmaceutical development company specializing in Women's Healthcare products, with an initial focus on providing women with more options and potentially more convenient methods of hormonal contraception. The company's lead investigational product, AG200-15, is designed to be a once-weekly contraceptive patch that has recently been submitted to the FDA as a New Drug Application (NDA) for review. In addition, Agile is also developing a low dose, progestin-only contraceptive patch, AG890 (formerly AG900). Both AG200-15 and AG890 incorporate proprietary transdermal delivery technology, Skinfusion®, developed by Agile, consisting of an active and peripheral adhesive system that has been designed to allow stable drug delivery and dependable adhesion over seven days.

She's young, she's beautiful, and she's talented. She is Chloe Louise Crawford, and she was selected as Playboy's "Cyber Girl of the Month for February 2014. Go to Playboy.com and without too much more effort, you will find this striking 5'7'' buxom blond.
But first, stay with us and learn a little more about this Las Vegas based woman who has come to the US from Portsmouth, England. I spoke with Chloe prior to her performance in Fantasy, a classy topless review at the Luxor Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The adults only topless show runs nightly at 10:30 p.m., 365 days a year. She also serves as magician's assistant for Murray Sawchuck at the Laugh Factory Saturday through Thursday at 4 p.m. This is one busy lady.
Dianne Davis: Chloe, how would you describe yourself?
Chloe Crawford: I am a dancer, a choreographer, a magician's assistant, a model. How many items shall I put on the list?
DD: Long enough. I don't imagine that as a young child your aspiration was to pose for Playboy. What was your first ambition?
CC: When I was younger, I wanted to dance. All I wanted was ballet .I began at age five. Then I did tap, jazz, Latin American. I started out to be a ballerina and realized there was other stuff I could do and started adding to it.
DD: How long have you been in the United States and what brought you here?
CC: I met Murray (Sawchuck) more than six years ago when I was a dancer in a show and he was the headliner. His assistant was leaving and asked me about working with Murray. Well, we got to know each other and began a long distance relationship.
DD: And then?
CC: Then I finally decided to move to Las Vegas and it all happened from there on.
DD: Let's fill the readers in on what happened.
CC: I came to work for Murray and then Fantasy happened.
DD: and then ….?
CC: And then Murray and I got married on July 20, 2012.
DD: Tell us about Playboy and becoming the Cybergirl of the Month for February
CC: I submitted my photos to Playboy last year and I got called in for a private casting. They wanted to see how I looked. They have the magazine, TV, and Playboy.com. They asked me to do one of their weeks. I said okay.
They said they were not sure when it would go live. They called in January. Then called and said they wanted me for February. Then they came out to Vegas to shoot a day in the life with me… Murray's show, Fantasy, our lives at home with the dogs, all that sort of thing. My real life and behind the scenes. That will air in March or April on Playboy TV.
DD: What else has kept you busy since you moved here almost two years ago?
CC: In 2013, I was in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, on the cover of Tradeshow Lifestyles and Strip LV Magazine. I've guest starred on History Channel's Top Gear USA, Hallmark Channel's Home & Family, The Marie Show and Masters Of Illusion.
DD: What's next?
CC: That's the big question right there. I would like to do some more TV, more
Playboy. It depends. It seems to be all happening at once. I love trying new things. I could see doing some modeling.
DD: Let's get personal. First, tell us about your pets.
CC: We have three dogs now. Kahlua, Ella, and Abby, all long haired Chihuahuas. Abby was a rescue from the human society last August.
DD: What do you and Murray do for fun?
CC: Fun – not a lot. We don't have a lot of free time. Mostly, we come home and hang with the dog, use our hot tub, rent a movie. We like to hang in sweats and just relax.
DD: And plans to do some more traveling?
CC: We go to LA, Palm Springs. We might like to do Australia again as we did last year. But basically, we are happy in Las Vegas.
DD: Do you have time for Charities?
CC: We are big supporters of the Friends for Life Humane Society. We are spokespersons for them. We want to help make sure that all dogs that need to be are adopted out. We want every puppy to have a home. We have a passion for it.
We support the efforts of Canon helping the Association for Missing and Exploited Children. We have hosted the Red Carpet and always go to their events in Las Vegas. We are ready to step forward for other charitable efforts whenever we can.
DD: Favorite foods?
CC: Sushi or British foods.
DD: Who cooks in your house?
CC: Neither of us. Well, we both do a little. We often grab something on the run .On our night off, one of us will cook. We enjoy each other's company.
DD: What was your biggest adjustment?
CC: I think just being from a different country. Different people. American people are different. Making good friends and settling here was not that easy.
DD: What's your delicious vice?
CC: I love going to the international market place and getting my British chocolate. Not the same here. Totally different.
How do you keep that gorgeous figure?
CC: I try to eat healthy. I have off days when I eat pizza. Not too much time for the gym but I work out in the Fantasy show.
It's clear to see why Chloe Crawford would be the Fantasy of many fans. And it is not surprising that Playboy recognized her for her looks, her personality, and her talent. I think we'll be seeing a lot more of Chloe. Well, a lot more appearances anyway.

How Call Marketing Automation Can Improve ROI
U.S. businesses spend more than $300 billion on advertising each year, but only about 15% of that is spent on online advertising. The other quarter trillion dollars is spent each year not to drive a click but to drive a store visit or a phone call - tens of billions of phone calls each year from U.S. consumers to businesses. And that number is growing by billions of calls each year due to the growth of mobile search and the ubiquity of mobile phones, which results in consumers being connected wherever they are.
These developments have increased the importance of call marketing for advertisers. So, for businesses that talk to their customers on the phone, call tracking is now an essential capability. It allows marketers to properly attribute calls and marketing campaigns to a lead source, providing essential business intelligence.

Former Lincoln YWCA leader sentenced for theft
Former Lincoln YWCA leader sentenced for theft
LINCOLN, Neb. —
The former executive director of the Lincoln YWCA has been sentenced to probation and community service for theft from a past employer.
The Lincoln Journal reports Denise Scholl-Serrett was sentenced Friday in Douglas County District Court to two years of probation and 80 hours of community service.
Scholl-Serrett was vice president of human resources for DEI Communities, an Omaha property management company, from March 2007 to November 2009.
An internal audit showed more than $23,500 worth of unauthorized charges and bonuses. Court documents say she forged a subordinate's signature and used a company credit card to buy two cellphones.
Scholl-Serrett resigned Saturday from her post at the Lincoln YWCA.

Teaching Kids that Cooking Matters
MU Extension cooking course provides children in Montgomery County with hands-on experience in the kitchen.
In a crowded kitchen in a church basement, nine elementary school kids are cooking lunch. You might think it's a recipe for disaster—kids are using knives, handling raw meat, working at a big gas range, and there's not much elbow room—but they know their jobs and the turkey tacos and fruit smoothies turn out fine, with no injuries and not too much of a mess in the kitchen.
The students are participants in Cooking Matters for Kids, a six-week course for third- through fifth-grade children that connects learning about health and nutrition to hands-on experience in the kitchen.
Kids may learn some basic kitchen skills in middle school home economics classes, but by fifth or sixth grade, kids already are on average preparing at least one meal per week by themselves, said Chris Merritt, nutrition specialist for University of Missouri Extension. Merritt is teaching the class with assistance from Luella Fischer, MU Extension 4-H youth program associate.
"We need to get information on food and nutrition to elementary school students," Merritt said. "The kids need to know it now and hear it repeatedly. The more we get the information out to the students, the more likely they are to continue using this information as they get older."
A room near the kitchen is set up as a simulated grocery store, with cans, boxes and plastic-replica fruits and vegetables arranged as you would find them in a typical supermarket.

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - Lawmakers in Ohio want answers about what happened at the Cincinnati IRS office which led to intense scrutiny of hundreds of groups applying for tax-exempt status.
Those lawmakers with the Policy and Legislative Oversight Committee held a hearing Thursday at the University of Cincinnati.
This issue is a black eye for this region and a black eye for the state of Ohio.
Among those that addressed the committee was Justin Binik-Thomas.
His name was singled out in a questionnaire from the IRS to the Liberty Township Tea Party. Thomas says he has never been a member of that Tea Party.
"I'm the only individual that was called out by name that we know of in the country, and there has to be a reason for that," said Thomas. "We need to get to the bottom why is there an individual and to make sure certain groups are impacted for political reason as well."
The President of the Liberty Township Tea Party also addressed the committee. The organization applied for tax-exempt status three years ago and still has not received a response.
In our commitment to balanced news, not everyone believes the IRS acted wrongfully.
"If in fact you have an organization that has party in the label, it makes sense for the IRS to take some time and question what you're about," said Catherine Turcer with Ohio Common Cause.
"I think the IRS is doing their job. Let's remember that the Tea Party came in an avalanche, and the IRS received hundreds of applications all at the same time," said David Little.

Then & Now's first step outside the city could be accompanied by the clopping of horses' hooves, though this road was also used by metal contraptions known then as horseless carriages.
Then & Now's first step outside the city could be accompanied by the clopping of horses' hooves, though this road was also used by metal contraptions known then as horseless carriages.
Horseless carriages would have been few and far between on this road, however, in the 1905-1910 period in which this photograph was taken.
More likely, the road would have served the clip-clopping of horse-drawn wagons, bringing fresh agricultural goods like butter, cheese, eggs, chickens, veal, pork, beef and fruit — mostly apples — from the farming towns around Worcester into the lucrative city market.
Many of those goods originated at the farms that can be seen, scattered far apart, in the photo. Their broad fields are a testament to the agricultural nature of the towns around Worcester, which prospered by feeding city folk. Most of the farmhouses pictured here have been demolished.
Routes into and out of the city became particularly important to the farming communities after an economic depression following the Revolutionary War, when farmers were barely eking out a living. Those challenges brought the establishment of organizations designed to support farmers and disperse information that would help them increase their yields.
The road was also used to transport wood for fuel, until dwindling supplies and efficient transport of wood from farther away, as well as advances in the use of gas and coal, made wood a less-commonly used fuel.
In spite of its humble appearance compared to today's highways, the road pictured here was a major route for stage coach travel as well, and was well-traveled by city dwellers looking for fresh air in milder weather.
Can you guess the location featured in today's photograph?
A hint: The town in which this photo was taken, unlike many towns in the area, was not known for its industry.

A mixed close on Wall Street; S&P 500 edges up
NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market wavered for a second day Thursday as investors weighed disappointing news from the retail industry against more positive signals on the U.S. economy.
Investors were looking ahead to Friday's jobs report, as well as the start of corporate earnings season.
Retailers were among the hardest hit stocks on Thursday.
Bed Bath & Beyond plunged $9.93, or 13 percent, to $69.75 and Family Dollar fell $1.37, or 2 percent, to $64.97, making them the biggest decliners in the S&P 500. Both companies cut their earnings forecasts following a disappointing holiday season.
The reports of tepid sales disappointed investors, who have been seeing signs for several weeks that the U.S. economy was improving and that shoppers were returning to the malls.
It appears that the economy, while improving, still has some weak spots.
L Brands, which owns Bath and Body Works and Victoria's Secret, reported that its sales rose less than analysts had expected. The company also cut its full-year outlook, echoing Bed Bath and Beyond and Family Dollar. L Brands fell $2.44, or 4 percent, to $57.75.
"The consumers are supposed to be the fuel of this economy, and it doesn't appear to be happening," said Ian Winer, director of trading for Wedbush Securities. "If they're not spending money at the retailers, what's going on?"
Even the bright spots in the retail industry had caveats. Department store giant Macy's jumped $3.96, or 8 percent, to $55.80 after the company forecast a 2014 profit that was above Wall Street's forecasts. At the same time, Macy's said it would eliminate 2,500 jobs as part of a reorganization that aims to save $100 million a year.
At the close of trading, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 17.98 points, or 0.1 percent, to 16,444.76. The S&P 500 added 0.64 points, or less than 0.1 percent, to 1,838.13 and the Nasdaq composite lost 9.42 points, or 0.2 percent, to 4,156.19.
The disappointing news from retailers was more than enough to offset another positive report on the U.S. economy.
The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits fell by 15,000 last week to 330,000. The drop was slightly bigger than economists predicted, according to FactSet, a financial data provider. The claims report sets the stage for the government jobs report for December, which will be released Friday morning. Economists expect employers added 196,000 jobs last month.
In company news, Ford rose 30 cents, or 2 percent, to $15.84 after announcing an increase in its quarterly dividend to 12.5 cents per share from 10 cents per share. The news came a day after the stock gained 1 percent on word that Ford's widely respected CEO, Alan Mulally, would not leave to run Microsoft.

Mirroring the root disk prevents the cluster node itself from shutting down because of a system disk failure. Four types of file systems can reside on the root disk. Each file-system type is mirrored by using a different method.
Use the following procedures to mirror each type of file system.
How to Mirror File Systems Other Than Root (/) That Cannot Be Unmounted
Some of the steps in these mirroring procedures can cause an error message similar to the following, which is harmless and can be ignored.

For local disk mirroring, do not use /dev/global as the path when you specify the disk name. If you specify this path for anything other than cluster file systems, the system cannot boot.
