Re: g_b Thursday's Thunder
I dont know about you guys, but this one is a KILLER...whew It was opening night at the Orpheum and the Amazing Eileen was topping the bill. People came from miles around to see the famed hypnotist do her stuff. As the Amazing Eileen took to the stage, she announced, Unlike most stage hypnotists who invite two or three people up onto the stage to be put into a trance, I intend to hypnotize each and every member of the audience. The excitement was almost electric as the Amazing Eileen withdrew a beautiful antique pocket watch from her coat. I want you each to keep your eye on this antique watch. It's a very special watch. Its been in my family for six generations. She began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting, Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch The crowd became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth, light gleaming off its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the swaying watch, until suddenly it slipped from the hypnotist's fingers and fell to the floor, breaking into a hundred pieces. Shit said the hypnotist. It took three weeks to clean up the theatre. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- In low income neighborhoods, 84% do not own computers.

g_b The Master of His Domain....
The Master of His Domain Fri Jan 28, 9:08 AM ET Oddly Enough - Reuters OTTAWA (Reuters) - A Canadian who masturbated at a window in his house won his appeal against a conviction for indecency on Thursday after Canada's top court ruled there was no evidence of intent to commit an indecent act, and a home was not a public place. The Supreme Court of Canada noted that British Columbian, Daryl Clark, had agreed it was an indecent act to have masturbated "in an illuminated room near an uncovered window visible to neighbors." But Justice Morris Fish, writing the 9-0 decision, said such acts have to be done in public places to be a crime -- and a home was not a public place. The law also says indecent acts are only crimes in every location if the person intends to give offense. Clark was convicted of an indecent act in a public place and given a four-month sentence after a prosecution that followed complaints from his neighbor, named in court documents only as Mrs. S. The woman said she spotted Clark while she was watching television with her two young daughters in their family room. She alerted her husband, and the couple observed Clark from their darkened bedroom for 10 or 15 minutes -- also using binoculars and a telescope -- before summoning the police, who said the upper part of Clark's body was visible from just below the navel. "In my respectful view, the trial judge ... erred in concluding that the appellant's living room had been converted by him into a public place simply because he could be seen through his living room window and, though he did not know this, was being watched by Mr. and Mrs. S. from the privacy of their own bedroom 90 to 150 feet away," Fish wrote.

g_b Catholic Diocese Settles Record $100 Million
Please Login | Create my account Catholic Diocese Settles Record $100 Million to Clergy Abuse Victims In a record pay-off settlement by an American Diocese, the Catholic Roman Catholic diocese of Orange agreed to pay some $100 million to settle accounts with 87 sexually molested victims of its past priests Saturday, Dec. 4, 2004 Posted: 1:24:22PM EST In a record pay-off settlement by an American Diocese, the Catholic Roman Catholic diocese of Orange agreed to pay some $100 million to settle accounts with 87 sexually molested victims of its past priests, Thursday, Nov. 2, 2004. While the exact amount has been disclosed, members of each side of the debate said an average of $1.1 million has been settled to each of the victims involved in the massive case. According to legal observers, the record settlement, which far surpasses the $85 million paid by the Boston Archdiocese earlier in the year to its 552 victims, will likely influence the outcomes of pending cases in dioceses across America. Bishop Tod D. Brown of Orange County, California, said the agreement was both fair and compassionate, and said he plans to write letters to each victim personally seeking forgiveness and reconciliation. "We will be able to fairly compensate the victims in a way that allows our church to continue its ministry of service to the entire community," Brown said following the cases settlement Thursday evening. According to Brown, the massive settlement will be paid without bankrupting its diocese or requiring any of its parishes or schools to be closed. The only property that will be sold is the dioceses 17-acre headquarters. The money will also come from a combination of insurance, cash reserves, loans on property and investments. According to the Los Angeles Times, the deal will likely have its greatest impact on the neighboring Archdiocese of Los Angeles, which is trying to settle 544 molestation claims .the size of the Orange County agreement will provide a benchmark for future settlements. "It's like a market is being established for [clergy abuse] settlements, and the price can go up or down," said Loyola Law School professor Georgene Vairo, to the LA Times on Friday. "It's like a gigantic EBay" where recent sales can dictate prices of similar items, said Patrick J. Schiltz, a professor at the University of St. Thomas School of Law in Minneapolis, Minn, to the Times. He called the $100-million settlement "an astonishing amount of money."The deal settles sexual molestation allegations against 30 clergymen and about a dozen other church employees. Some of the cases date back as far as the 1930; some as recent as the 80s. In most cases, clergymen were found to have molested boys under the age of 13; in other cases, clergymen were found guilty of paying for the abortion fees of teenage girls they impregnated during their tenure. In addition to the financial settlement, Bishop Brown agreed to let the court decide if any confidential personal files of the accused priests would be made public. The diocese gave those files to the plaintiffs attorneys on the basis that the files would be kept secret, but some of the plaintiffs maintained that the release of those files are a key to the settlement. According to the prosecutors and attorneys for the victims, the release of those files was the most significant part of the settlement. "The significant thing about the settlement is that the documents are not sealed," said Richard Sipe, a former Benedictine monk who now works as a consultant for attorneys suing the Catholic Church in sexual abuse cases, to the LA times. Joelle Casteix, one of the alleged victims of the Orange County settlement, said to the LA Times that the selling of the headquarters would carry a great deal of symbolic significance, similar to the decision by the Boston Archdiocese to sell its bishop's mansion and surrounding property earlier this year for $99.4 million."It will be a sign of a new age in the diocese and a new way of running the faith community in Orange County," Casteix said in a comment to LA Times. However, according to David Clohessy, executive director of the national Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, the Orange County agreement is probably nothing more than good business."It's always tempting to read a lot into a settlement, and I think that's dangerous," Clohessy said to the LA Times. "I think fundamentally they are just business decisions. They don't symbolize the scales falling from a bishop's eyes and suddenly him getting it or becoming compassionate, he added. Pauline J.
