Sex abuse suits pouring in as state's Catholic leaders seek relief from highest court
by Nigel Duara May 23, 2022 Updated June 21, 2022

California has twice extended the statute of limitations on child sex abuse claims, prompting nine state bishops to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to declare the law unconstitutional.
Lea este artículo en español.
Update: The U.S. Supreme Court denied the bishops' petition to declare California's "lookback window" unconstitutional on June 21, 2022.
In California, the lawsuits are mounting — middle-aged men, saying they were sexually assaulted as children by a Boy Scout leader or a priest. A woman, now in her late 30s, detailing how she was allegedly assaulted in a center for foster children. A man who said he was abused while volunteering with the Salvation Army.
At least 750 of those lawsuits filed since January 2020 are against Catholic dioceses, and more than 800 people are in the process of filing to beat a Dec. 31 deadline, according to lawyers involved in the cases.
The year-end date marks the close of the state's three-year "lookback window," which allows plaintiffs to file civil suits for childhood sexual abuse no matter how long ago the alleged events took place.
Now, facing hundreds of lawsuits, a group of Catholic bishops is taking those challenges to the nation's highest court. Saying they faced "potentially ruinous liability," the bishops last month asked the U.S. Supreme Court to declare the California lookback window unconstitutional.
"Review is critical now, before the Catholic Church in the largest state in the union is forced to litigate hundreds or thousands of cases seeking potentially billions of dollars in retroactive punitive damages," according to the petition, which was first reported by the Catholic News Agency.
"There are few institutions that serve youth that do not have a history of having perpetrators in them who harm children."
Paul Mones, Los Angeles plaintiff's attorney
California created its new lookback window in 2019 under Assembly Bill 218, authored by then-Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez, a San Diego Democrat.
The bill opened a three-year period, from 2020 to 2022, that permitted complainants to file sexual abuse claims that exceeded the statute of limitations.
The law allows people younger than 40 to file complaints without any extra steps. Complainants older than 40 must obtain, through an attorney, a mental health evaluation that finds "there is a reasonable basis to believe that the plaintiff had been subject to childhood sexual abuse."
In 2002, the state passed a similar law creating a year-long window for people to file such claims. More than 850 people sued the Catholic Church the following year, and another 150 sued other religious institutions and the Boy Scouts of America. The Catholic Church paid out more than $1 billion to settle claims, according to the bishops' petition to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Multiple dioceses sold "vast swaths" of church property in the 2000s, the petition states. Some exhausted or relinquished their lawsuit insurance, and the church believed at the time that the matter was over.
"That assurance proved to be false," the bishops wrote.
Across the country, such lookback windows have faced and survived multiple legal challenges at the state level. Actor Bill Cosby, accused of more than 50 sexual assaults over decades, has challenged them in California and New Jersey. Prince Andrew's initial challenge to New York's "lookback window" failed to persuade a judge in January to throw out his case.
Los Angeles attorney Paul Mones, who is representing at least 75 people suing the Catholic Church and dozens more suing other institutions, said he expects "a flurry of filings" in the last 60 days of the year before the lookback window expires.
Among his cases, Mones said, were people suing the Boy Scouts of America, private schools, public schools, the Salvation Army, Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
"There are few institutions that serve youth that do not have a history of having perpetrators in them who harm children," Mones said.
The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down a previous California lookback window, but that was specific to criminal prosecution.
In that 2003 case, Stogner vs. California, the high court ruled 5-4 that allowing California to charge someone criminally with child sex abuse after the statute of limitations had expired "inflicted punishment for past criminal conduct that … did not trigger any such liability."
In 2013 and 2018, then-Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed similar proposals to create lookback windows in California.
The lawsuits during the current window have been targeted at both religious and secular institutions. In California, more than 200 women and men have sued an El Monte children's center, alleging abuse between 1988 and 2001.
In Sacramento, two brothers have sued the Capital Christian Center, alleging that they and three other former students were abused sexually in the early 1980s.
Rick Simons, a plaintiff's attorney managing the cases against the Catholic Church in Northern California, said his oldest case dates to the early 1960s. That litigant and others like him didn't sue during California's 2003 lookback window because "he wasn't ready," Simons said.
"One year is just not enough time for some folks to process stuff," Simons said. "This time, maybe the parents are mostly gone. Many more people are sober."
"This was news in 2002 and 2003, that Catholic priests were engaged in systematic abuse. People hadn't heard it on that scale," he added.
The abuse cases against the Catholic Church during the current lookback window have been divided into three consolidated cases across the state: Northern California, San Diego and Los Angeles. In Northern California, plaintiff's attorneys said more than 200 people have already filed suit, and another 800 are in the process of filing.
"The (bishops') petition is an attempt to invalidate the law and a disingenuous slap in the face to victims who have yet to come forward."
Mike McDonnell, Survivors Network for those Abused by Priests
In San Diego, 80 people have filed suit, and in Los Angeles, 473 people have sued.
"The (bishops') petition is an attempt to invalidate the law and a disingenuous slap in the face to victims who have yet to come forward," said Mike McDonnell, spokesperson for the group Survivors Network for those Abused by Priests, or SNAP.
"It's concerning to us because it's not a thing of the past, it is a thing of the present and it is absolutely a thing of the future."
McDonnell said the sexual abuse claims test not just the financial resources of the Catholic Church and its dioceses, but the insurers that cover them.
Insurers have expressed concern over the reopened statute of limitations and their financial exposure to costs far higher than they anticipated when they originally issued policies for an organization, whether it's a church or a Boy Scout troop.
In 2019 alone, 14 states amended their laws to allow more time for claims of child sexual abuse, and at least eight states reopened the window for abuse claims that had exceeded the statute of limitations.
Nationwide, lookback windows have typically led to thousands of lawsuits. In New Jersey, for instance, more than 1,200 sexual abuse lawsuits were filed between December 2019, when the state's lookback window opened, and October 2021, when it closed, according to the Associated Press.
About two-thirds of those New Jersey lawsuits named religious institutions. Lawsuits against schools represented about 14% and about 9% named the Boy Scouts.
Bill Donohue, president of the New York-based Catholic League, said in a statement that a focus on the Catholic Church in child sex abuse legislation and litigation is "anti-Catholic bigotry."
"It is a myth to maintain that the Catholic Church has a monopoly on the sexual abuse of minors: it exists in every institution where adults interact with youngsters," Donohue said.
"The Catholic Church in California has twice dealt with this issue. It should not be subjected to another round of lawsuits."
California Catholic churches have paid among the highest dollar amounts for sex abuse settlements of any state, according to a list of settlements compiled by the website Bishop Accountability.
Bill Donohue, president, New York-based Catholic League
The Los Angeles diocese paid $660 million to settle hundreds of abuse claims in 2007, and that same year, the San Diego diocese filed for bankruptcy and paid 144 people a total of $198 million. Those are the two highest settlements made by the Catholic Church in the U.S.
Bankruptcy is a real fear for the churches involved in this litigation, said Jeff Anderson, a Minneapolis-based attorney with an office in Los Angeles who represents child sex abuse claimants suing the Catholic Church.
"They are among the most frequent offenders, so yes, they are the most exposed [financially]," Anderson said.
Anderson said the church is banking on the 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court, as well as the justices' own religious affiliations — six justices are Catholic, though one, Sonya Sotomayor, is part of the court's liberal minority.
"I think that's the only thing they can bank after," Anderson said. "This writ is really the Hail Mary pass to the Catholic court."

::: Off the Radar :::: 50 Best Singles of 2010!
50 Best Singles of 2010!
Man these best of lists are time consuming and difficult to do, but fun and satisfying at the same time when you're finally done with them. Didn't include remixes on this list cause that would open a whole other can of worms. This list is based on what I actually listened to/played out in 2010. I literally went through all my playlists starting from January 2010 till December and hand picked the tracks I liked most. So please no 'where is this track comments'. It's impossible for me to include nor did I listen to everything that was released in 2010. I numbered them for fun, but really who knows which track is #1? Any of the tracks in my top 10 could arguably be #1 and they are all really good in my book.
P.S. A couple interesting things I noticed once I finished the list. Almost had 3 tracks named "Home" in my top 50, but at last minute realized Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros "Home" which probably would have topped them all was released in 09'. Also for some bands who had multiple great tracks it was difficult to choose a favorite like for example Duck Sauce had a big hit with "aNYway" that could have been on the list, but I went with "Barbra Streisand" instead cause I thought it was a bit of a bigger hit and wanted to avoid doubles by the same band. Same goes for Crystal Castles who my favorite track on their album was "Celestica" but went with the Robert Smith's guest vocal track "Not in Love" instead cause it's like the best Cure song we haven't heard in over a decade. Also Arcade Fire could have had multiple tracks on here, but I went with "Sprawl II" because it was the stand out track when I first heard the record, but "We Used to Wait" is equally as good in my book.
Here they are with links to the original posts we did were you can download the tracks, remixes or watch videos for them. For the Top 10 I added players for them as well. Enjoy!!!
I couldn't agree more with number one!!! Excellent job!
Time consuming indeed! Love the list! Thanks for the musica! Can't wait for 2011. All the best!
hey all props to san francisco critic for that great pic! googled 2010 best of images and you guys were my favorite pic of them all ;) hope ya don't mind. you can see their list here http://www.sfcritic.com/2010/12/best-of-2010-singles-for-download/ cheers!

Latest tech releases from Apple
Tuesday, 28 March 2017 13:51pm
Apple has announced a new iOS 10.3 update, some updates to iPad, iPhone and their Apple Watch, plus they have launched a new app called 'Clips' which makes it possible for pretty much everyone to create quick and fun videos on an iPhone and iPad.
Apple has just released the iOS 10.3 update, marking the launch of the third major update to the iOS 10 operating system since it launched. This one features an improved file system to what is called Apple File System (AFS) — a system that is a lot smarter than the somewhat 'dry' name may suggest. It replaces the Hierarchical File System (HFS) that dates back to the earliest days of Macs, with the new system designed for mobile devices and optimised for flash memory devices.
The new OS 10.3 update for iPhone and iPads offers Siri, Air Pods and CarPlay features — all with accessibility benefits. With CarPlay, users have shortcuts to the latest apps you used and better features when you're playing Apple Music. Other improvements to your iPhone and iPad through iOS 10.3 include Siri now being able to give you sports score updates and news alerts, and when you rent a movie through iTunes it will now be available across all your devices… which is both convenient and time-saving for people of all abilities.
In other news, the new iPad replaces the iPad Air 2, which is now available in 32GB and 128GB models. Now the iPad mini-4 is only available in the 128GB capacity format and the iPad mini-2 has been discontinued.
The latest for Apple Watch is a range of new colours and styles including Sport Band, Woven Nylon, Leather and Hermes. In addition, customers can now purchase Nike Sport Bands separately.
And then there is a new app called Clips. With Live Titles in Clips, users can add animated captions and titles using just their voice, which has been warmly received by many, including people with mobility impairments. Captions are generated automatically as a user speaks, and appear on screen perfectly synced with the user's voice. Users can mix and match different styles, and fortunately tap any title to adjust and correct text and punctuation, and you can also add emojis. Live Titles supports 36 different languages.

Last month, we demonstrated how to interface our NetBurner modules with the MPU9250; a 9-axis IMU that features a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and a magnetometer on a $15 breakout board offered by SparkFun. This handy little gadget allows you to track movement data, and was used by our intern, David, to adjust the heading of an autonomous vehicle he was working on.
Prior to that, we featured an article where we expounded on how to use WebGL, websockets, and the EFFS-FAT file system provided by NetBurner to visualize sensor data using a 3D model and some randomly generated data.
This month, we are going to combine these wildly wonderful tutorials, and dig into how you can visualize the rotational data from the IMU using WebGL with a websocket connection. Since the gory details for each of these projects can be found at the links above, we are going to focus on the glue that binds these two together. Loving you the way we do, we went ahead and combined the necessary pieces of these projects into its own glorious repo, which you can find here.
This code can be imported into an NBEclipse project, or you can compile it from the command line using make, and then load the resulting .s19 file (WebGlWithImu_APP.s19 if you didn't get handsy with the makefile) using our AutoUpdate too (located in <nburn_install>\pcbin\).
As mentioned above, there isn't a tremendous amount of original code in this new project. By and large, it's just the two individual projects smooshed together like a bunch of sardines in a can of code. The one thing that did need to be addressed was sending actual data to our visualization, instead of the fake data we were generating before.
Because we now have IMUSampleLoop() do the heavy lifting in terms of reading data values from the IMU and turning it into data we can actually use in the form of a quaternion, we removed UpdatePosAndRot() from main.cpp. The change from Euler angles to quaternions is actually very beneficial for our application as it avoids gimbal lock, which is a common problem where you end up losing a degree of freedom during your rotations.
If you look at the new and improved SendWebSocketData(), you will notice that when adding the rotation values to the JSON blob, we are now using the global variable q, which holds our quaternion data.
// assign them later by storing them in a local variable.
If you look at this code closely, you'll notice that we aren't assigning the quaternion values from the IMU loop to their respective axis in our function call above. This is because the IMU defines the z axis as the vertical axis in the coordinate space, while in computer graphics, this is usually reserved for the y axis. We need to make a similar adjustment for the x and z axes. Finally, we need to negate the values of the x and y axes to correctly correspond with their representation in our visualization. You will also notice that we are setting the position to 0. For the autonomous car project, we only needed to determine the rotational data for the IMU, not the positional change.
When the project is built and loaded to the module, the fruits of our labor can be seen in the short video clip below.
With these small changes covered, that just about brings this tutorial to a close. Hopefully you now feel armed and ready to add some killer data visualizations to your own projects, especially where IMUs might be involved. Let us know what you come up with in the comments below, or on the community forums!

Garage A Trois' Outre Mer is the soundtrack to an as yet unreleased French film of the same name. The band, consisting of Mike Dillon (percussion, vibraphone), Charlie Hunter (eight-string guitar, pandero), Stanton Moore (drums, polyrhythms), and Skerik (saxophone), lays down surging funk-influenced tunes, tempered by the intricate delicacy of vibraphone and guitar.
The main problem with most soundtrack recordings is that they can be, well, boring. Since the main purpose of the music is to accompany the action on the screen, it may not have the weight that's necessary to maintain interest when played apart from the images. Garage A Trois is able to overcome this issue purely by upping the groove quotient of the music. With the group's polyrhythmic base, most of the tracks achieve a hypnotic power that strikes a balance between being unobtrusive and being mesmerizing. "The Machine is a fine example of a track using its bedrock groove to maintain an insistent mood. Elsewhere, "The Dream acts as a changeup from the rest of the album, functioning almost as an ambient exercise, while also featuring some fine sax work by Skerik. The loping, mellow closing track, "Amanjiwo, with its spare, twangy guitar and breathy sax would be lovely in any context.
Outre Mer is a highly listenable work that functions both as a mood piece, like a soundtrack should, and as a standalone effort. Should the film ever find wide distribution, it will be fascinating to see how these evocative pieces accompany the action on the screen.

In hidden basements, bedrooms and bars across London, "Chemsex" is a documentary that exposes frankly and intimately a dark side to modern gay life. Traversing an underworld of intravenous drug use and weekend-long sex parties, "Chemsex" tells the story of several men struggling to make it out of 'the scene' alive – and one health worker who has made it his mission to save them. While society looks the other way, this powerful and unflinching film uncovers a group of men battling with HIV, drug addiction and finding acceptance in a changing world.
Review, by Maysa Moncao
In 1985 I was a teenager and naturally curious about sex, loosing virginity and drugs as well. We had some sort of sexual education in a Protestant school in Brazil, and I remember my teacher talking about safe sex and Aids. My first sexual experiences came under the stigma of "danger", rather than "pleasure". Rock Hudson never came out publically, but he died as a HIV positive. Soon, one of the rock stars of my generation in Brazil would suffer the hostilities of being bisexual and HiV positive. Cazuza, as he was known, would show me life could be very short if you are happily reckless. He died five years later, at the age of 32.
Now I am introduced to the documentary Chemsex, by Will Fairman and Max Gogarty, that explores the lives and fortunes of a group of gay men actually taking part in chemsex lifestyle. "Chemsex" is the association of 3 different drugs (crystal meth or methamphetamine, meph or mephedrone and GHB or GBL), in any combination, to facilitate or enhance sex.
My first reaction to it was "My God. This is the post-Aids epidemia generation". But then I realised it is not an issue of "generation". It is more complicated than just promiscuity and being careless, or belonging to risk group. It has to do with shame, cycles of self-destruction and redemption. So, basically, it is all around us. Better saying, It is part of us all, it is within us, or haven't you ever felt depressed?
Chemsex goes deep into London hidden gay life and explores complex issues and characters. It also shows a way out, via a NGO based in the heart of Soho. Probably the work of 56 Dean Street is the light of this documentary. By revealing the dark phases of some characters, and how they put themselves together with professional help, the film is an alert of a considerable part of British society we are daily neglecting. Is London the best place in the world to be gay?
One of the testimonies caught by the lenses concludes that those people are looking for something that enables communication. London seems to be the place where no shouts are allowed and that every "diversity" has the right to express freely, but at the same time few are paying attention to their individual voices. Maybe this is why some of them choose drugs to enable communication.
Filmed over a year, including scenes with no "filter" to self-cruelty, the doc aims to be a bridge between those who deliberately are taking a walk on the wild side and us, Londoners. December 1st is the World Aids Day. It is clear that 30 years after Rock Hudson's death we need more awareness than ever before. Chemsex will be released in UK in December 4th.
Oddly (or, perhaps, fittingly?) sobering is the best word to describe what, as a gay man myself, I found an almost terrifying film to sit through.
There is no blood-letting, no violence (except that which is self-inflicted), no murders, only consensual acts being seen and described yet still it sent a chill down my spine to hear gay men stating they were "lucky to get out alive" of a culture where sex and narcotics intake are intertwined, the two helixes of queer DNA it seems.
"I have four 'slams' (injections of drugs as a precursor to sex) a day…and can spend £400 a week on drugs" is the astonishingly honest opening description by one man of his drug use. Why was I astonished? Perhaps not so much by the admission, but by the man casually 'slamming' right then and there in front of the filmmakers.
There are more cavalier admissions and acts peppered throughout, including some remarkable administration of a sex party, in which the host has put the names and online 'handles' of his guests into an excel spreadsheet, complete with the times when each individual will have their next 'slam' plotted on it.
I do fear for 'my boys'. In the past, I have seen friends descend into the seductive welcome and warmth of addiction all too easily (one admitted he took drugs at work, carefully taking each new 'slam' on the hour every hour in carefully measured doses so as to avoid overdose or being too high on duty).
It's not eye-opening for me to hear people's justifications and excuses for drug usage; old hat stories of the past are retold here in less amusing tones, but there is extra clarity about the psychological and artistic motivations, namely a photographer who has experienced direction for his work whilst under the influence of Crystal compared to being sober (and it clearly benefited him as we are told at the end he has staged an exhibition of his work).
A criticism then: if the film is to be used to help turn gay men's perceptions of their drug use around, is there too much glorifying of the effects of 'slamming'? The tone is fittingly grim and/or seedy throughout, but although there are plenty of interviewees who opine the positives of drugs is one positive comment about drug taking a comment too far?
This does offer balance to the viewpoints I guess, but perhaps what is needed later in the film is an even stronger focus on people successfully changing their lives around and how they did this (we follow a young man seeking help for his drug use but who falls off the wagon with unfortunate predictability).
Perhaps the filmmakers are afraid of sugaring the pill, but after the first hour or so of 'slamming', then a comedown, I needed a restorative.
Overall though, this is an important public health film that should be required viewing for all young gay men and absolutely for any in the capital.

Victor Frankenstein (2015)


This is a counter-reply to a response to my best-selling pamphlet for Our Sunday Visitor, Top Ten Questions Catholics Are Asked, by Church of Christ preacher Kevin Cauley. His words will be in blue. Words from my pamphlet will be in green.
1. Catholicism says . . .
3) They go on to say that Jesus uses the term father in regard to Abraham and Paul uses the term to describe himself in his relationship with Timothy in 1 Cor. 4:15.
2) We agree that this passage is not talking about "fathers" in any of the senses that they listed.
d. Even fathers in the faith.
3) We disagree that this passage is talking about God as our authority.
4) This passage discusses religious elitism and the sin in so calling someone by the religious title of Rabbi, Teacher, Father, Master.
5) So they fail to achieve what they need to achieve from this passage and still stand condemned.
Okay, so Mr. Cauley wants to argue that no religious figure, clergyman, Christian teacher, elder etc., ought to be called any of these four titles, based on Matthew 23:5-10? That's extremely interesting, since John the Baptist was called "Rabbi" in John 3:26 (RSV, KJV), and he registered no protest at this outrageous "religious elitism." I guess John didn't understand this simple teaching of his Master, Jesus Christ and was a religious elitist himself, according to Mr. Cauley's exegesis.
1) Jesus refers to the "master" and "teacher" of a disciple or servant.
2) Therefore that servant / disciple can refer to the same person(s) as "master" or "teacher" — since Jesus already did.
5) But that is blasphemy, and no Christian believes that (including the "churches of Christ").
6) Therefore, either (a) Mr. Cauley is mistaken, or (b) Jesus is a sinner and religious elitist (along with Paul and John the Baptist), or (c) the Bible contains many errors, since it presents these scenarios that simply can't be, according to Mr. Cauley.
7) Most Christians would vastly prefer (a) to (b) or (c).
8) Therefore, Mr. Cauley's statement: "This passage discusses religious elitism and the sin in so calling someone by the religious title of Rabbi, Teacher, Father, Master," is (extremely likely to be) false and must be rejected as a lie from the devil. To use his words, he "still stands condemned," insofar as he urges this argument from the Bible.
2) They cite 2 Maccabees 12:40ff, 1 Cor. 15:29, and 2 Timothy 1:16-18.
2. The Bible says . . .
1) First, the book of 2 Maccabees is not even part of the Bible and holds no authority whatsoever.
Catholics believe it is, because the early Church did (as Protestant Church historian and patristics expert J. N. D. Kelly confirms), but that is another lengthy discussion. I can prove the rightness of the practice from the NT anyway.
2) 1 Cor. 15:29 speaks of "baptism for the dead" and has nothing to do with prayer. It is an incredible stretch to say that because Paul spoke of baptism for the dead that therefore we can pray for the dead.
This is an elaborate argument involving comparison of Scripture with Scripture, which I have dealt with elsewhere (see my paper: 1 Corinthians 15:29 and "Baptism for the Dead": What Does it Mean?). What would Mr. Cauley, then, say that Paul is referring to? It is no less against Protestant principles and beliefs to be "baptized for the dead" (whatever in the world that is — from their perspective –, Paul is talking about) than praying for the dead. I made an exegetical argument elsewhere. Mr. Cauley, however, simply makes bald statements.
This passage remains for Protestants one of the most difficult in the Bible to exegete and interpret. The Presbyterian commentator Matthew Henry called it a "very obscure passage." Methodist expositor Adam Clarke stated that it was "certainly the most difficult verse in the New Testament." I argue in my latest book that it is only so because Protestants refuse to allow the traditional Catholic interpretation. Their own false theological presuppositions, which forbid what the Bible and the early Church allowed, cause the difficulty.
3) 2 Timothy 1:16-18 says, "The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain: But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me. The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well." There is NO indication in this passage that Onesiphorus was dead.
Even Matthew Henry didn't rule it out, since he stated he was probably not dead. In any event, I didn't have this information in my pamphlet, but there are definitely prayers for the dead in the NT: our Lord Jesus prayed for the dead man Lazarus (Jn 11:41-42), as did St. Peter for the dead disciple Tabitha (Acts 9:36-41). This is why we do it, too, because it is the witness of the Bible and also the early Church.
1) "No Catholic who knows anything about the Catholic faith has ever worshipped a statue (as in pagan idolatry).
3) Let me say that I find it hard to believe that bowing down in front of statues and kissing their toes are not acts of worship.
Worship is an interior disposition. One simply doesn't know what the person intends by acts such as these without asking them. People bow before a picture of an accident victim placed at the scene of their death. I've seen many people kiss a dead person in a casket. That is not longer that person, lying there, but obviously to the person doing it, they represent the person that used to be. Is this worship, too?
I've seen many people bowing down in repentance at the "altars" of Protestant churches, sometimes at the foot of a pastor or someone praying for them. Is that worship? Or do those persons represent God at those moments, coming to offer forgiveness to the repentant sinner? One can easily imagine a person kissing a photograph of their son, a soldier recently killed in combat. Are they worshiping him?
4) The big toe of Peter in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome has been completely rubbed off over the centuries because of people kissing it.
That's fine, but irrelevant unless the necessary questions above are considered.
2) 1 Cor. 5:11 says idolaters will not inherit the kingdom of heaven. Eph. 5:5 says that covetousness is idolatry, so just because it is not like ancient paganism doesn't mean something can't be an idol!
We wholeheartedly agree that idolatry is a grave sin; we deny with equal vigor that we are doing it! The reasons are difficult to explain to Protestants because of the multiplicity of erroneous assumptions that they have about our practices and idolatry and worship in general, so I refer those interested in learning more to my many papers on these topics.
1) "Jesus gave His disciples–and by extension, priests–the power not only to 'loose' sins (that is, forgive in God's name), but also to 'bind' (that is, impose penances) . . . ." They cite Matthew 18:18 "Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." as justification for this as well as Matthew 16:19.
3) They cite Matthew 3:5-6, Acts 19:18 and 1 John 1:9 as authority for priests to take confessions.
1) All Christians are priests! 1 Peter 2:5 "Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 2:9 says we are a royal priesthood.
For such a one this punishment by the majority is enough; so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him . . . Any one whom you forgive, I also forgive . . . in the presence of Christ, to keep Satan from gaining the advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his designs.
St. Paul in his commands and exhortations to the Corinthians . . . binds in 1 Corinthians 5:3-5 and looses in 2 Corinthians 2:6-7,10 . . . He forgives, and bids the Corinthian elders to forgive also, even though the offense was not committed against them personally. Clearly, both parties are acting as God's representatives in the matter of the forgiveness of sins and the remission of sin's temporal penalties . . .
2) Revelation 5:10 says, "And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." Who are these? The ones who have been redeemed as verse 9 indicates.
In the limited sense of the similar verses offered above. There is often more than one sense of a word in Scripture. That's nothing unusual at all.
Of course. Every priest who forgives sins is acting as a representative or agent of God. God forgives sins that are committed against others (one can sin against other people, not just God, as Mr. Cauley falsely states, but every sin also breaks God's law, and is against Him as well). We see Paul above forgiving as person who didn't sin against him. He was "binding and loosing"; rabbinical functions which were carried over into Christianity, because they were instituted by Jesus Himself.
4) What then is the Bible speaking about when talking about the disciples forgiving sins? Certainly not some formal clergy of priesthood that requires the sinner to confess sins to the priests to get forgiveness.
Then how does Mr. Cauley explain what Paul did, in the passages above? He imposed penance on the man (much like a priest does in confession) and then urged his brethren to forgive him and receive him back into fellowship. He himself admits that the disciples forgave sins. So what in the world were they doing? Hopefully, he will inform us.
5) The context of Matthew 18 is in regard to personal sins against brethren.
That's correct, but then, what did Jesus mean when He said to His disciples (whom He was talking to here), ""whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matthew 18:18)? It's fine and dandy to be a skeptic and shoot down the other guy's argument all day long (or purport to), but in the end one has to offer alternative exegesis and arguments. One has to present a positive apologetic and theology, not just a negative condemnation.
6) The context of John 20:23 is in regard to the work of the Apostles on the earth.
Oh, I see, so is Mr. Cauley contending that the apostles could bind and loose and forgive others' sins, but then after they died, no one else could ever do so? One can't claim, on the one hand, that "we are all priests, so all this stuff applies to everyone," then turn around and limit another very similar passage solely to apostles, without expositing either, and with no plausible principle of differentiation. This is the very essence of eisegesis and special pleading: scattershot analysis with no internal coherence or strength or "recommendation" other than that it disagrees with Catholic teaching. Such a method in effect hoodwinks the listener or reader into accepting things that are fairly easily refuted by more in-depth biblical cross-referencing.
7) Jesus claimed all authority in Matthew 28:18. The apostles had no right to go beyond that authority.
No kidding. But they can exercise the authority as delegated representatives of Jesus: a state of affairs that he himself desired and set up. Big difference . . . Right after this, of course, Jesus commissions the disciples to evangelize, baptize in the name of the Holy Trinity, and to teach. One of the powers He granted the special class of priests was the ability to forgive sins sacramentally, on behalf of God.
8) Matthew 3:5-6 is speaking of John the baptizer and his work. The confession of sins was an act of repentance here.
Exactly! So how does this rule out the Catholic belief of confessing sins to a priest, when it is a direct parallel of sinners "confessing their sins" to John? I don't get it. Rather than see a striking analogy, Mr. Cauley can only see difference, difference, difference. He has to; he has no choice. He has to disagree with Catholic teaching no matter what (no matter how often indicated in the Bible), so it leads him into many absurdities.
Acts 19:18 is in regard to pagans who were repenting. By confessing their sins they were showing repentance here as well.
Yes, and how is that a disproof of the Catholic belief and practice? Again, I am completely at a loss to understand how Mr. Cauley's reasoning works.
1 John 1:9 is not even speaking of men, but God! To take this passage and use it to support their doctrine of confession is to wrest the scriptures to their own destruction.
Not at all. All I was claiming, anyway, was "confession is also indicated in . . . " That's it. And I produced three passages from the Bible, all of which referred to confession. That doesn't mean that every particular of our belief will be in any given verse. They don't have to be. But all the particulars can be found, when all the relevant texts are considered together. Mr. Cauley's problem is that he doesn't seem concerned to synthesize all these into some harmonious whole. We agree that God forgives our sins. But He can choose to do so through a priest. God can do whatever He wants. He can communicate to someone through a donkey, as with Balaam, if that's what it takes.
Yes, but that doesn't rule out confession to a priest. The latter is simply a smaller sub-group of the former, not a contradiction, as often supposed.
but this is a far cry from the formal type of confession the Catholic church would have us to believe.
That is found in kernel form in the indications of binding and loosing, and in the example of Paul exercising this function right in Scripture. Doctrines develop, and we don't always find them explicit in Scripture (hence even trinitarianism and Christology took four or five centuries to fully develop). But that is no disproof. There is more than enough in Scripture to indicate the truth of this doctrine.

The Elk River is a tributary of the Tennessee River in the U.S. states of Tennessee and Alabama. The river is about  long.

Hydrography
The Elk River rises in Grundy County, Tennessee, in Burroughs Cove near the community of Elkhead. It is bridged for the first time by State Route 50 near Pelham, Tennessee.  At first it flows southwestward, and turns to flow more generally westward.  It is then bridged by both U.S. Route 41 and Interstate 24.  Shortly below this point, it forms the Coffee County – Franklin County line.  It is first impounded by Elk River Dam, forming Woods Reservoir, the impoundment of which extends upstream to about the same point where the stream ceases to serve as the Coffee-Franklin County line and is entirely in Franklin County.  This reservoir was built under the auspices of the United States Army Corps of Engineers, primarily to provide a large source of cooling water for the U.S. Air Force's Arnold Engineering Development Center, which has large wind tunnels and other military and scientific research equipment.  This area is also used as a wildlife refuge. The reservoir is bridged by State Route 127.

Only a few miles below Elk River Dam is the beginning of slack water (Tims Ford Lake) caused by the Tims Ford Dam of the Tennessee Valley Authority.  The slack water extends upstream to the vicinity of Estill Springs. It is then bridged by U.S. Route 41A. Backwaters of the Tims Ford project also extend into the nearby town of Winchester, county seat of Franklin County, even though the main channel of the Elk runs to its west, bridged by State Route 130.  A considerable amount of leakage from the reservoir is observed along State Route 50 in the form of what appear to be large springs along the north side of that road but are in fact leaking of the reservoir waters through the porous limestone rock of the area.  This phenomenon has resulted in a locally-popular source of water for livestock and other uses for which filtration and treatment of the water to be used is unnecessary.  State Route 50 again crosses the Elk just below Tims Ford Dam.

Shortly below the dam, the stream becomes the boundary between Franklin County and Moore County, and then subsequently between Moore County and Lincoln County.  The stream begins to meander severely. It is bridged near the small community of Kelso, site of a cave used as a saltpeter mine by Confederates during the Civil War, by U.S. Route 64. The Elk flows through Fayetteville about a mile south of the courthouse, where it is bridged by U.S. Route 231/431. Until the late 1960s there was a "dry" stone masonry bridge (one in which the stones are held in place by the power of gravity forcing them against each other, not mortar) over the Elk; it was destroyed in a flood.  Several miles west of Fayetteville, it is crossed by State Route 274, a highway built on an old railroad bed.  It then crosses into Giles County, where it is bridged by CSX Transportation and Interstate 65 before flowing just south of Elkton, Tennessee, where it is bridged by U.S. Route 31. A few miles below this point it crosses into Limestone County, Alabama, where it meets the Tennessee River.

There are actually two Elk Rivers in Tennessee, the smaller of which is located in northeast Tennessee.  This Elk River flows from the back side of Beech Mountain, North Carolina through Carter County, Tennessee and empties into Watauga Lake.

Recreation
In Limestone County, Alabama  there is a  Canoe and Kayak Trail.  The trail begins at the Alabama-Tennessee state line and goes to Elk River Mills.

Outside of Winchester, TN Tims Ford Lake was created by damming the Elk River which allows for boating and water based activities.

A ship is only as good as it's captian, a website is only as good as its webmaster and an LCD Screen is only as good as the software that runs it. There are many good LCD programs out there, but the greatest of them all is LCD Smartie. With LCD Smartie you can show a whole pile of system stats, temperatures (using motherboard monitor), network statistics, weather and even e-mail. It's very easy to setup and is extremely versatile.
In LCD Smartie Setup you can setup up to 20 screens and have them displayed for as long as you want. It also has a neat preview so you can see what the screen will look like on the real LCD (see above).
These are pictures of my actual LCD. I normally run it with the backlight on, but I've taken pictures of it on and off so you can see the difference. In my opinion, the projcet turned out great. I have the screen on almost all the time beside me at the computer. I'm very happy with it.
These Screenshots were all taken using LCD Smartie to run the LCD. When I was checking out LCD projects before I bought mine, I saw a Winamp Spectrum Analyzer running on an LCD and I knew I had to build one. Here's my own LCD running the Winamp Plugin. Also, the plugin can be configured to show a whole lot more things than I show in my screenshots.
The analyzer bars fall up and down like in winamp. A still shot really doesn't give it the credit it deserves. The screen looks absolutely magnificent with the bars bouncin' to the music. I'm going to try to use our Olympus C-5050 digital camera to make a movie of it. It should be neat if I can figure out how to do it. You can adjust the brightness and contrast of the LCD so that you can get a mixed result, like the first Our Lady Peace picture.
This project took me a fair amount of time to get into it's final stage (in the box), but I had it hooked up and running long before it was in the box. If you're considering doing this project - go for it. It's fairly cheap, gives a great result and is pretty easy to do.

We are just beginning to explore the possibilities of working with indigenous peoples on the topic of climate change, as part of a larger interest in how indigenous peoples work to have a sustainable human relationship with nature. This also ties in with considerations of longevity in indigenous religious belief.
Some elders are entrusted with watching weather change and interacting with the elements and the spiritual world to see if they are able to intervene to improve conditions for agriculture. In Spanish, and in some communities at least, these individuals are called "tiemperos" (from the Spanish word tiempo, referring in this case to weather, rather than time, although the two can be inter-related). Some such individuals bear the name graniceros (from granizo, Spanish for hail). They are entrusted by their communities to control rain and hail. They are perceived to have a gift (don in Spanish) and a special relationship with the spirits or deities that affect rainfall and, therefore, agricultural fertility.
Students in Puebla (north of Oaxaca) speak of witnessing offerings being left at the tops of sacred mountains in greater number, for example, in response to drought conditions. Videos are emerging about tiemperos on Popocatepetl in Iztaccihuatl, the volcanoes that can be visible from Mexico City. It would be marvelous to find and interview some tiemperos, but at the moment we have not yet contacted any. We will be watching for such opportunities in the state of Oaxaca.
Applying critical thinking and analytical observation to these videos provides a challenging exercise for students. What are the questions these films raise for those who might be more scientifically inclined or for those who come to listen with pre-conceived religious beliefs of a different nature? How are Mexican journalists and college students capturing these stories and presenting them to us?

Any business that has a sales team knows that reducing wasted time is one of the biggest challenges sales managers face. And nothing wastes more time than pursuing the wrong leads.
This is why good leads can make the difference between a good sales team and a great one.
A recent Forbes article discusses how one company is using predictive analytics to solve this problem. Forbes had a conversation with Jascha Kaykas-Wolff, the Chief Marketing Officer of Mindjet, a company who has used predictive analytics to make this difference.
Mindjet is using predictive analytics to understand which leads are the highest quality and have the highest probability of turning into sales. With several thousand leads and trials being generated every week, traditional lead scoring techniques were not reliably segmenting out which leads had the highest probability of closing. With dozens of attributes included in their lead scoring application, Mindjet still wasn't effectively providing the sales team with highly qualified and prioritized leads.
Getting only the highest qualified leads to sales can make the most of their selling time is a high priority for Mindjet marketing. This required the marketing team to get beyond lead scoring and determine which factors most and least contributed to lead quality.
Mindjet's efforts resulted in 4.4 times more qualified leads than the company had previously enjoyed. That's a lot of closed deals and a huge return on investment that will continue to play out in the very near future.
Do you want to win similar results for your business? If you approach predictive analytics the right way, you can! You just need the strategic training to use these methods appropriately.
If you're ready to get started, try TMA's free webinar. Or sign up for any of TMA's advanced training courses. The Modeling Agency will arm you with the tools you need to get great results for your business.
Every city faces problems and challenges. According to Information Week: Government, Chicago is beginning to turn to basic predictive analysis to solve some of those challenges.
They're starting small, targeting the variables that lead to garbage cart thefts. The thefts create a surprisingly large drain on city finances.
Data analysis says that the thefts are more likely to occur in areas where alley lights are broken. City officials are responding by devoting resources to these repairs.
The new data analysis system is known as "Windy Grid," and it's still fairly simple. Mostly, it handles simple "cause-and-effect" tests on the results of Chicago's data collection efforts.
However, the city is working to upgrade the system in order to make it a much more useful tool, one that could potentially help Chicago solve bigger problems.
"Developing a full-blown predictive analysis capability is much more ambitious. As envisioned, the system will flag for city leaders…indicators of coming problems including those that, unlike the out-of-commission street lights, they hadn't considered.
Goldstein's team talks of ways to prevent graffiti, rodents, and garbage cart thefts. But what about Chicago's more serious scourges, like its alarming homicide rate…or struggling schools?
Every organization faces challenges, even if few organizations find themselves tackling city-sized problems. The first step in making sense of data collection efforts is to receive the appropriate training. That's why TMA offers data analytics training courses and a free webinar to help organizations make the most of these powerful capabilities.

Asbestos closes Perth kids' playground
January 16th, 2020, 09:47AM Written by Sarah Brookes Southern Gazette
Peachey Park. Photo: David Baylis
A POPULAR children's playground in Kewdale has been indefinitely closed off to the public after asbestos was discovered at the site.
City of Belmont chief executive officer John Christie said the extent of the asbestos contamination at Peachey Park was unknown.
"Small fragments of asbestos-containing material were detected amongst uncontrolled fill materials such as bricks and concrete in September 2019 when relocating the existing playground," he said.
The total amount of asbestos containing material is unknown due to the invasive nature of works required to determine the extent."

Mr Christie said residents in the immediate vicinity of the park were advised by letter of the asbestos discovery when it
was first identified.
He said the park did not pose a health risk as long as the asbestos-containing material remained buried.
"Asbestos only poses a health risk when it becomes damaged and therefore friable, predominantly when it is being cut or broken or excavated," he said.
"Appropriate management strategies are being developed and deployed to allow works to continue and to manage the asbestos on site.
"It can be managed in-situ and can be contained or capped by clean fill and vegetation preventing the risk of it becoming friable and therefore removing the health risk.
"At the time of detecting the potential asbestos, the City of Belmont immediately covered the work area with clean fill."
Mr Christie said pre-1965 the park and surrounding area was a wetland but in 1974 the site appears to have been filled, likely with uncontrolled fill which contained the asbestos.
"This was not an uncommon practice and inert bulk materials were often used to fill damp lands and wetlands; uncontrolled fill was usually sourced from demolition sites/refuse sites," he said.
The City is working with the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) and Department of Health (DoH) to develop management strategies for the site.
Peachey Park is a large playground with an adventure bike track, a basketball court and a large turf area for recreation.
It will remain closed until further advice and clearance from DWER and DoH is received.

Lawyer Cassie Constantine has no plans to stay in Florida. She's here just long enough to sell her late husband's vacation house, a tacky bungalow she's always despised—then she'll hightail it back to her gracious Boston brownstone. But the place needs more work than Cassie bargained for. What's more, her widow status is like a target on her back and the elderly matchmakers around town manage to sidetrack her mission at every turn. Holiday is a landmine of golf tournaments, ballroom dancing competitions, shuffleboard and day trips. But the biggest obstacle of all? Richard Dillon, the stuffed shirt she's paired with on the dance floor. Cassie had always considered herself uptight but Richard won't take a walk on the beach without his socks and shoes! There's one little problem—he makes her heart beat faster than the rhythm of the quickstep. Can Cassie and Richard let loose long enough to have a little fun?


SEVEN swans from the Queen's flock at Windsor were feared to have been killed by bird flu.
Scientists are doing tests on the dead birds, ten per cent of the flock's total, amid fears the virus may spread.
But the H5N6 avian influenza is thought to be behind the deaths and scientists at the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs fear it may spread.
Officials are understood to be looking at a group of at least 13 birds.
Royal biographer Penny Junor said: "The Queen will be profoundly upset about this.
By tradition the Crown owns all mute swans found on open water in the UK. The mute swan is the most common of three UK species.
In 2016 the annual "swan upping" — the official census of the birds — found 72 at Windsor.
BIRD flu is a potentially fatal virus officially called Avian influenza A(H5N6).
The World Health Organisation first reported a case of human infection in April 2014 in China.
Since then the region has seen at least 17 cases, with at least ten fatal.
Symptoms include fever and shortness of breath.
Bird flu is highly contagious among poultry and wild birds. Authorities have been forced to cull hundreds of thousands to stem widespread outbreaks in China, Japan and South East Asia.
Public Health England say the risk to UK residents is "very low" and the risk of human-to-human transmission "low".
The H5N6 strain killed four wildfowl at Amwell Nature Reserve near Ware, Herts — forcing it to close two weeks ago. Defra introduced an Avian Influenza Prevention Zone on January 18.
It means all bird keepers are legally required to follow strict biosecurity measures.
There was also a bird flu outbreak in Abbotsbury Swannery in Dorset last year. Nine swans tested positive for the H5N8 strain.
The Queen is known to take a great interest in the Windsor swans.
In September she answered a letter from Lyndsay Simpson, five, who had asked if she could keep a swan.
THE Crown first claimed ownership of all mute swans that were not on private land in 1186.
It was done not to protect the birds, which were a fine-dining delicacy, but to ensure only royals got to eat them.
In the 15th century ownership of the birds on the Thames was extended to two trade associations — the Worshipful Company of Dyers and the Worshipful Company of Vintners.
Today the Thames swans are marked in an annual "swan upping" census in the third week of July.
The Queen retains the right to claim ownership of any unmarked swan swimming in open water.

Obama '36
No Comments on Obama '36
Thanks for voting America! This blog, along with approximately 69,492,376 Americans, buoyed Barack Obama onto the throne of democracy. Are we done? Heck no. We need to begin to plan for that sad day when President Barack will no longer be constitutionally able to serve as Commander-in-Chief. We must turn our thoughts to the future. Not the near future, but a date more distant: the year 2036.
Malia Obama, whose interests include soccer, dance and drama, will be 35 in time for the Presidential Election of 2036. What we need in 2036 is someone who will lead us toward an even better future.
The years 2008-2016 were very good for this country. Then there was the historic election of 2016, in which elder statesman Jimmy Carter was finally allowed to serve his second term of office. After four years President Carter stepped into a time machine and sent himself 30,000 years into the past, where he helped nomadic tribes in what is now the Middle East prevent the warfare that would mark that region for all of human history.
In 2020-2028 Chelsea Clinton became the first woman President, making our country the first to manufacture and export hover cars. As the daughter of a former President, she would be compared to another child of a former President who was also President himself. She was thankfully superior in all respects. It is said birds alighted upon her shoulders and sang their sweet melodies as she prepared to sign the historic worldwide energy treaty that would, in essence, eliminate all pollutants from the air, sea, and land.
2028-2036 would provide an interesting twist to Presidential politics, as the first non-American-born citizen became Commander-in-Chief.
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
A name begging to be in large, bold type. With an impressive resume including Terminator 2, Kindergarten Cop, Total Recall, Twins, Junior, Predator, Conan the Barbarian, Pumping Iron, and Jingle All the Way, the Prezenegger brought a new brand of justice to the executive branch of government. He may have played by his own rules, but you can't deny his effectiveness. When an evil alien brain sent an army of oversize spiders to control the planet, the Prezenegger was there with a hand-held nuclear bomb. He tossed it at just the right moment to blow that alien brain right back to hell. And when the Supreme Court was about to criminalize all methods of birth control, the Prezenegger blew them up too. Take that, John Roberts! You evil bastard.
President Arnold paved the way for a different kind of President. By the time 2036 rolled around, the country was ready for peace again.
Malia Obama was born on July 4, an apt date of birth for Commander-in-Chief. Although some would question her relative inexperience, she would soon prove all the naysayers to be nothing more than whiny little nobodies.
It's true, her allergy to animal dander, which almost resulted in her and her sister to be dogless back in 2009, was a worry for foreign policy wonks. What if she were to meet a camel in Cairo and sneeze all over it? Or a cow in Dehli? These worries were soon put to rest after a successful visit to the Middle East and Europe in Spring 2037.
Furthermore, her training in soccer, dance and drama proved exactly what was needed for domestic affairs of the day. It may not have seemed obvious in the hazy days of 2009, but in 2036 soccer, dance and drama were just what is needed for Leader of the Free World.
This blog is a proud supporter of Obama in 2036.

2 Comments on parting shot
There are people – Republicans, mostly – who claim Barack Obama will be a rehash of the Carter Administration. It's true, our country doesn't exactly pine for the salad days of 1976-1980. What I don't understand is the special kind of hatred conservatives reserve for Jimmy Carter. I do agree with them, to a point. There are Jimmy Carter qualities in Barack Obama. Of these shared qualities, what is it Republicans don't want?
A President willing to stand up to the auto makers and raise fuel efficiency standards?
A President fully engaged in the peace process, willing to bring the Middle East nations together in unprecedented agreement?
A smart, charismatic President to follow one of the most disastrous (and, ahem, Republican) Administrations of all time?
Are these bad things?
Jimmy Carter says "Yes!" to peace, environmental protection, a progressive energy policy, and housing for the homeless. So does Barack Obama.

1 Comment on The Batman
A dark city cries for help.
Gotham needs Batman.
Long before there was a Batman to protect us, a band of terrorist criminals kept the fair city of Gotham under a near-constant state of panic.These criminals include:
One-Face
The Riddler
…and their hired thugs.
This band of terrorist criminals ravaged Gotham until there was nothing left to burn, blow up, or steal. Many wondered: can Gotham rise like a mighty Phoenix to become great again? Some of us threatened to "move to Metropolis," where at least the sun comes out sometimes and the newspaper is better.
Alas, most do not have the luxury of pulling up their roots and restarting in a new city. Other citizens claimed that we would live to see Gotham as the urban utopia it once was. But how? Enter: The Dark Knight.
Batman seemed to rise from the darkness itself, striking back at those who had tarnished our once-beautiful Gotham. He is now doing what Gotham's corrupt police and crooked politicians never dared try. He fights the good fight. He bleeds for our sins. Though many of us will never see the Batman in person, we must rally around his symbol of hope.
Fly, Batman, fly. Into the light of the dark black night.
