Of course it’s not a simple matter. Not only is there an immediate medical situation that has to be addressed, but also life itself in this family is about to be disrupted on every level. That is, unless there is someone capable of springing into action, getting a handle on the situation, and making certain that all relevant issues are addressed and efficiently taken care of, from contacting the right doctors and hospital to making certain that the children are cared for properly.<br /><br />The Five Towns, Far Rockaway, and surrounding Jewish communities are populated by fairly sophisticated and accomplished individuals and families. So the question needs to be posed—why is it that when there is a family crisis or emergency we often have to reach outside the community for assistance? That’s a question a young communal activist and member of the local Nassau County Hatzalah has been asking himself over the last year or so.<br /><br />Boruch Ber Bender’s experience has exposed him to the sometimes complex and even tragic aspects of life, matters that many of us encounter only from a distance. “The fact is that when the unexpected event occurs,” says Rabbi Bender, (son of Rabbi Yaakov Bender, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Darchei Torah) “very often panic and indecision are the first and almost reflexive reaction.” And that’s the juncture at which he sees the role of Achiezer, a new resource center based in the Five Towns that has already helped out in a number of circumstances during the last half year. “Our role in these instances has essentially been to be the ones slightly removed from the ordeal and able to consult with doctors and other professionals about how to best deal with a situation,” he said...5tjthttp://www.5tjt.com/news/read.asp?Id=4464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28305689.post-63332547539929195442009-06-24T22:24:35.030-07:002009-06-24T22:24:35.030-07:00{Excerpt)

Before the meditation retreat began, we spoke briefly in the bookstore and she told me about her work--helping Jewish prisoners.<br /><br />Jane Davis lives in Atlanta. She grew up in Kingston, N.Y., in a Jewish family and received a master's degree in social work. She worked for several years with gang youth and prisoners but left that world for business and marketing. But something drew her back.<br /><br />In the early 90s, she began writing articles about prisoners, and in December 1993 she was asked to be a media witness at the execution of Chris Berger. She told me, "I was so affected at witnessing a human being literally fried in front of my eyes, heart and soul, that I came out seeking spiritual support as well as deeper answers to the question burning inside me: 'How did we as a society evolve to this moment of human degradation?' I viscerally knew the oneness of our collective soul. Chris was me and I was him. His eyes stayed glued to mine from the moment he was brought into the execution chamber until the leather flap was put over his eyes."<br /><br />As a direct result of her being a witness, she founded a nonprofit peace organization "based on honesty, faith, and action." She calls it HOPE-HOWSE, an acronym for her philosophy: "Help Other People Evolve through Honest Open Willing Self Evaluation (and expression)."<br /><br />From a Jewish perspective, she says, "It could be called tikkun olam in action." (Tikkun olam, literally, "repair of the world," is a Kabbalistic term that these days is generally applied to social action work.)<br /><br />http://www.beliefnet.com/Faiths/Judaism/2000/08/Jews-In-Jail.aspxbeliefnethttp://www.beliefnet.com/Faiths/Judaism/2000/08/Jews-In-Jail.aspxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28305689.post-60764644293783430622009-06-24T18:50:51.638-07:002009-06-24T18:50:51.638-07:00The Child's Victim Act of New York will not co...The Child's Victim Act of New York will not come to fruition.

I was privileged to testify before the Senate and House Judiciary Committees in support of Delaware’s child abuse legislation. So imperious are religious denominations’ disregard of children in the state of New York, that the statute of limitations now protects known sexual abusers of children from criminal prosecution forever once short statutes of limitation expire. Now it will only continue. I cannot comprehend the hubris that would occasion the type of behavior that has been so graphically delineated in a number of investigations in the U.S. including the 2002 Suffolk County, NY Grand Jury Report which detailed the clergy sex abuse of children in the Diocese of Rockville Centre. Yet churchmen still question the rightfulness of extending the statute of limitations. Why, one wonders, did dioceses in the state of New York not distribute postcards for the members of the Catholic community to sign and send to their legislators in Albany to support the complete removal of statutes of limitations going forward in regard to the sexual abuse of children, criminally and civilly? This is not a matter belonging to what the Catholic Church calls the “deposit of faith,” and, leaving aside the matter of mortal sin for the moment, the sexual abuse of children is a matter of criminal behavior. Can there be any question about the intrinsic evil of the sexual abuse of children or of the fact that such individuals are intrinsically disordered? Certainly not! Church officials who claim that their dioceses, parishes, churches or programs will go bankrupt have produced no data to support such inflammatory statements and in states like California and Delaware there has been not the slightest possibility of that happening. In fact, in addition to settling a $ 660 million dollar lawsuit a few years ago, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, California built and paid for a new cathedral that any city in the world would be proud to showcase. It is important to remember that window legislation is not “anti” any particular group; it is pro-child. It forces records, if they exist and have not been destroyed, to be made available in a court of justice and hopefully into the public venue as well. Moreover, there should be no accommodation in law giving more protection to individuals who have been accused of the sexual abuse of children than to the victims themselves. I think the New York Assembly lost an exceptional opportunity this time around to make those who violate and abuse New York's children, along with those who have done so in the past, accountable. They should have followed Delaware's lead in this growing civil rights movement for children but they did not. The children are the losers, again.

Enabling individuals and institutions will get a free pass as well. It's not too difficult to conclude that the late into the night wheeling and dealing in the backrooms of Albany was very successful. The transparent collusion between religious institutions and the insurance industry, along with both groups' well heeled lobbyists, has managed once more to put the protection of children in the endangered species list - and this from groups who say they believe in and even signed onto the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. How does one explain a corruption so insidious that it protects sexual predators and their enablers at a cost that trumps the civil rights and lives of all children? Why is it when there is an ever broadening epidemic of child abuse in this country and a veritable pandemic around the world that some states still give more accommodation in law to individual predators, their enablers and facilitators, then to the very real victims of childhood sexual abuse? Perhaps it is easier to understand when one considers that in this country there were animal abuse prevention laws on the books a good ten years before any child abuse prevention laws appeared. Such a pattern continues in New York. Truly, it is heart wrenching to realize that there are churchmen in the state of New York, as elsewhere, who actually oppose the removal of statutes of limitations regarding the sexual abuse of our children. In the state of New York, leaders of the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Jewish denominations pulled out all the stops to influence legislators to support their opinion that sexual predators and abusers should not be held accountable, and in particular instances, even threatening legislators belonging to their own denominations. Methinks a federal investigation of conspiracy and collusion is warranted in this matter. Ah, where is the Lord Jesus Christ when putting in an appearance would have really helped? This kind of wheeling and dealing by any religious entity should be unacceptable to all of us who are concerned with the trafficking of individuals for sexual exploitation, because, make no mistake about it, the sexual abuse of children in religious denominations, sects and cults are part and parcel of the wider epidemic and pandemic of trafficking. It is particularly disheartening in light of the fact that the Roman Catholic Church, the Holy See, was one of the earliest signatories to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child while seemingly incapable of grasping the fact that "grooming" a child by buying ice cream cones, may actually fall into the category of "trafficking for purposes of sexual exploitation." Is this another example of a “Do as I say, not as I do,” mentality? “Window” legislation, as it relates to civil statutes, is the single most important factor in holding sexual predators and their enabling individuals or institutions accountable.Sister Maureen Paul Turlish pt. 1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28305689.post-61519180426183632432009-06-24T16:38:38.995-07:002009-06-24T16:38:38.995-07:00http://www.forward.com/articles/108466/
Sexual-ab...http://www.forward.com/articles/108466/<br /><br />Sexual-abuse survivors who traveled to Albany, N.Y., with high hopes this past spring got a tough lesson in political reality. The state Assembly’s regular session ended on June 22 without any action on a bill that would make it easier for sex-abuse victims to sue their molesters and the institutions that employed them.<br /><br />“People are playing politics with innocent kids’ lives. I don’t even know what to think anymore,” said Joe Diangelo, a member of Survivors for Justice, a group that formed last year to support Jewish survivors of child sexual abuse. Diangelo was one of several Jewish activists who joined Catholic abuse survivors lobbying New York State legislators this year, only to see their efforts countered by a strong push against the bill from the Catholic Conference and a few ultra-Orthodox Jewish organizations.<br /><br />“It’s sad, but by no means are we going to stop,” Diangelo said as he protested outside the office of Assemblyman Vito Lopez, a Brooklyn Democrat who played the most visible role in blocking the sex-abuse bill in the Assembly.<br /><br />The bill’s sponsor, Assemblywoman Margaret Markey, a Queens Democrat, plans to reintroduce the measure when the legislature reconvenes in January 2010. Markey’s bill would extend the statute of limitations for civil and criminal cases of sexual abuse; more controversially, her bill also would create a one-year “window” during which older victims of childhood sexual abuse could sue their molesters and sue any institutions that covered up or enabled the abuse, such as schools, religious institutions or community organizations. Similar “window” legislation in California led to about 1,000 lawsuits, most of them against the Catholic Church.FORWARDhttp://www.forward.com/articles/108466/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28305689.post-55260137792866359062009-06-24T14:27:26.610-07:002009-06-24T14:27:26.610-07:00We win and you lose...

Margaret Markey (D- Maspeth) - was nowhere to be seen.<br /><br />The Markey bill would create an "open window" during which the statute of limitations on child sex abuse cases would be dropped. Initially, there was no limit on the alleged victim's age, but Markey amended it to cap it at 53 years or younger.<br /><br />Analysts said a variety of factors contributed to the bill's failure to advance, including what one called an effective lobbying effort by the Catholic Church led by Bishop William Murphy of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, among others. Religious leaders claimed the legislation could "bankrupt" the Church.<br /><br />"I think she walked into both barrels of a well-organized, well-lubricated lobbying campaign by the Catholic Church," said veteran Albany lobbyist Desmond Ryan, executive director of the Association for a Better Long Island.<br /><br />Sean Dolan, a spokesman for the diocese, said Murphy "played an important role" in opposing the bill, writing columns and meeting with and phoning legislators. The New York State Catholic Conference and other bishops also played key roles, Dolan said.<br /><br />Beyond the church campaign, analysts and politicians said Markey compounded her problems by amending the bill to explicitly include public as well as private institutions. That provoked added opposition from school officials and other public entities.<br /><br />A competing bill by Assemb. Vito Lopez (D-Brooklyn) that did not call for dropping the statute of limitations also drained some support from Markey's bill, analysts said. The Assembly also did not take up Lopez's bill.<br /><br />Michael Armstrong, a spokesman for Markey, said she was not in Albany on Monday for "personal reasons."<br /><br />He said Markey's strategy had been a "tandem" approach to get it approved in the Assembly and then move quickly to the Senate. But the standoff in the Senate dashed the plan, he said.<br /><br />The bill may not be completely dead. Armstrong said he expects it to be introduced at a special session later this year, and even some opponents say it could be revived.Elinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28305689.post-69942123563005482752009-06-24T11:29:18.654-07:002009-06-24T11:29:18.654-07:00It is a pity what Yona Weinberg has to go through....It is a pity what Yona Weinberg has to go through.

-------------------...Dr. William Ayers is my hero!<br /><br />-------------------------------------<br /><br />Prosecutor: Famed Child Psychiatrist Is A Pedophile<br /><br />June 23, 2009<br />REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- The prosecutor in the case against a famous child psychiatrist wasted little time Tuesday in his opening statement, calling Dr. William Ayers a pedophile looking to “molest little boys.”<br /><br />Ayres, 77, sat quietly at the defense table throughout statements by prosecuting attorney Melissa McKowan and Ayres' defense attorney Doron Weinberg, who argued his client did not act inappropriately.<br /><br />Ayres, a former president of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, is charged with 10 counts of lewd and lascivious conduct on a child under 14 for allegedly molesting six boys between ages 9 and 13 from 1988 to 1996.<br /><br />He was arrested in April 2007 and has been free on $750,000 bail.<br /><br />McKowan told jurors that six witnesses will testify against Ayres. She said four other men whose claims fall outside the statute of limitations will also address the court but that it is up to the jurors whether their testimony can be used as evidence.<br /><br />McKowan said the six witnesses who will testify were children with behavioral issues who sought treatment from Ayres, and were disturbed by the alleged requests he made of them during what he told them were routine medical examinations.<br /><br />"The boys were simply asked to remove their clothing, and the doctor began to touch, fondle, molest …,” McKowan said.<br /><br />"The doctor regularly conducted physical exams," she added. "The boys thought they must submit."<br /><br />Some of the alleged victims told their parents what happened, and some did not mention it until San Mateo police contacted them during the police investigation, McKowan said.<br /><br />Nonetheless, she said, the witnesses' accounts were accurate and credible.<br /><br />"Their credibility is based not on what they have done in the past, but based on what they saw," McKowan said.<br /><br />"These were not legitimate medical examinations, but a ruse of a pedophile to look at and molest little boys," she added.<br /><br />Weinberg began his opening statements by acknowledging that the examinations occurred, but denying that Ayres molested the boys.<br /><br />He said Ayres believed that it was a psychiatrist's duty to treat the whole person, including by conducting physical examinations.<br /><br />Weinberg emphasized that practices in place 50 years ago -- Ayres received his medical license in 1956 -- may not be as common today due to a change in culture.<br /><br />"There will be evidence that puts (the claims) in a completely different frame," Weinberg said.<br /><br />He said the alleged victims "elaborated and exaggerated simple medical procedures."<br /><br />The patients, he added, "were young people with emotionally psychiatric conditions."Abraham Mondrowitzhttp://www.ktvu.com/news/19837709/detail.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28305689.post-23790780991983265612009-06-23T12:36:20.632-07:002009-06-23T12:36:20.632-07:00The Jewish religion is supposed to be all about mo...The Jewish religion is supposed to be all about moral values and kindness.

"He touched my private area."<br /><br />The boy spoke just above a whisper and nervously played with his fingers. He is one of Weinberg's four alleged victims in the nonjury trial.<br /><br />Weinberg, a former social worker for the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services, may testify in his own defense Tuesday.

The money will be used to provide “Stewards of Children” training for approximately 200 adults from Jewish schools and organizations serving young women and girls in the area’s Jewish community. It also will help recruit and train volunteer facilitators to conduct the program.<br /><br />This will be accomplished through a partnership currently in place with Jewish Family Service, which will work with CARE House to identify specific Jewish organizations that could benefit.<br /><br />Stewards of Children was developed by the national Darkness To Light organization as an evidence-based sexual abuse prevention training program to educate adults to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse, and motivate them to take action. CARE House’s existing Stewards of Children program will be expanded and altered to meet the needs of Jewish organizations, including any cultural adaptations to ensure appropriateness for the target population.<br /><br />Explains Pat Rosen, executive director of CARE House, “The program brings the issue of child sexual abuse to the forefront, heightens awareness and provides useful tools for adults to identify signs and symptoms of such abuse. It encourages a proactive response and the establishment of protective systems. Child sexual abuse is something that many are uncomfortable discussing, yet its lifelong consequences, especially when not identified, can be significant and devastating. We are very grateful to the Jewish Women’s Foundation for stepping forward to support this community initiative.”<br /><br />The interactive training program is conducted by a trained facilitator using a workbook, a video and discussion as the tools to present the program. It encourages a “call to action” for all participants to become involved and to develop a plan within their respective organizations and communities to address the complex issues related to child sexual abuse. The program provides opportunities for volunteers to become trained facilitators.<br /><br />The Jewish Women's Foundation of Metropolitan Detroit is a grant making and educational organization dedicated to expanding opportunities for Jewish women and girls. The Foundation empowers women as philanthropists, decision-makers and leaders. It currently is celebrating its 10th anniversary.<br /><br />For more information on the Stewards of Children program, including attending or hosting a presentation, contact CARE House at 248-332-7173.<br /><br />The mission of CARE House of Oakland County is to be an advocate for the safety of all children and a leading resource in the prevention of child abuse and the protection of children through education, intervention, treatment and research, in collaboration with the community.

...Canadian scientists breeding cows that burp less<br /><br />TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian scientists are breeding a special type of cow designed to burp less, a breakthrough that could reduce a big source of greenhouse gases responsible for global warming.<br /><br />Cows are responsible for nearly three-quarters of total methane emissions, according to Environment Canada. Most of the gas comes from bovine burps, which are 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas.<br /><br />Stephen Moore, a professor at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, is examining the genes responsible for methane produced from a cow's four stomachs in order to breed more efficient, environmentally friendly cows.<br /><br />The professor of agricultural, food and nutritional science completed primary tests using traditional techniques to breed efficient animals that produce 25 percent less methane than less efficient animals. But more work needs to be done before the long-term impact is known. Moore's study was published earlier this year in the Journal of Animal Science.<br /><br />"We are working on producing diagnostic markers for efficient animals. We are looking at the next generation of technologies that will enable us to determine the genetics of an animal through a blood test or testing some hairs that you might pluck from the animal," said Moore.<br /><br />To shrink cattle's ecological footprint ranchers could also decrease the time cows are left standing in the field by getting animals to market sooner. That means breeding cattle that grow faster. Also, through breeding, cattle could become more efficient in converting feed into muscle and producing less methane and waste, said Moore.<br /><br />Another method already being used to reduce methane emissions is feeding livestock a diet higher in energy and rich in edible oils, which ferment less than grass or low-quality feed.<br /><br />Farmers in Alberta that feed their livestock edible oils and shorten the time to market can accrue carbon credits that could amount to between one C$1 and C$10 per head.<br /><br />New Hampshire-based Stonyfield Farm, an organic yogurt producer in which Groupe Danone holds a majority stake, reduced emissions from their cows on an average of 12 percent by adding alfalfa, flax or hemp to livestock feed on a small number of its farms.<br /><br />"If every U.S. dairy farmer reduced emissions by 12 percent it would be equal to about half a million cars being taken off the road," said Nancy Hirshberg, vice president of Stonyfield's Natural Resources department.cure for margo's burpinghttp://www.reuters.com/article/environmentNews/idUSTRE55L5O620090622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28305689.post-66494756889869719182009-06-22T16:59:35.697-07:002009-06-22T16:59:35.697-07:00Pedophile Kidnapper Convicted

He is scheduled to be sentenced June 29 and could receive up to 15 years.<br /><br />On Mother’s Day 2007, Mutterperl, then 19, allegedly approached the victim, a young Latina girl, near her apartment building in Midwood. He attempted to pull her close to him and lead her out of the building, putting his hand over her mouth and telling her to be quiet.<br /><br />However, when his grip loosened, the girl fled outside the building and cried for help, and her older brother and other neighbors came to her aid. They stopped Mutterperl as he ran and held him until police arrived to arrest him.<br /><br />Mutterperl, an ultra-orthodox Jewish man, initially denied any sexual intent, then confessed to police that he was a pedophile.<br /><br />“I, Bernard Mutterperl, have realized for quite some time over the last two or three years that I have a problem that when I see young girls I just want to go after them,” Mutterperl stated, according to reports.<br /><br />The victim, now 13, testified in the trial and pointed to Mutterperl as the man who had attacked her.<br /><br />Prosecutors originally asked for $10,000 bail, which was increased to $25,000 by the judge at Muttperl’s first arraignment. He paid the bail and left Rikers Island.<br /><br />However, one month later a grand jury increased Muttperl’s top charge from unlawful imprisonment to attempted kidnapping and a second arraignment took place in Brooklyn Supreme Court before Justice Di Mango.<br /><br />The D.A.’s Office asked for $100,000 bail, which the defense attorney had agreed to.<br /><br />However, Justice Di Mango set bail at $1 million, reportedly saying in response to a defense attorney’s protests, “I’m not bound by the district attorney’s requests.Bernard Mutterperlhttp://www.brooklyneagle.com/categories/category.php?category_id=4&id=29000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28305689.post-24913483749891657782009-06-22T11:01:12.875-07:002009-06-22T11:01:12.875-07:00http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1090344.html
