Lebanese protest against anal test for suspected gays

2012-08-12T15:46:00.000+03:00

Lebanese are protesting in Beirut against the use of anal examinations on men suspected of homosexuality and “virginity tests" for women. Same sex relations in the Arab country are considered a crime and punishable by up to one year in jail.

Lebanese demonstrators gathered outside the law courts in the capital holding banners that read "United to abolish the tests of shame".

Lebanon-based HELEM, considered the Arab world's first and leading lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights group, called for the rally under the slogan: "Stand up against the tests of shame, vaginal or anal."

One sign read: "The cost of forensic rape: 125,000 Lebanese lira" (about $85), pointing out that the men subjected to the anal probes were being charged for the procedure, AFP reports.

“This test is completely stupid, but mostly it is a rape, and it has psychological consequences for the victims,”

Protesters, supported by human rights organizations, are demanding that Lebanon’s Justice Ministry issues a directive ordering an end to the tests. The demonstration follows the arrest of 36 men during the July 28 raid on a movie theater suspected of screening pornographic movies in the Burj Hammoud district of Beirut. The men detained were transferred to a police station, where they were subjected to anal examination, which is intended to prove whether a person engaged in homosexual sex.

All men were later released several days later, but three of them got homosexuality-related charges under article 534 of the Lebanese Penal Code on the basis of the examinations.

The article, which sparked mass outrage, considers sexual relations "contradicting the laws of nature" illegal and violators may be punished by up to one year in prison.

The Helem members say that Article 534 is used by the Lebanese ruling classes to criminalize homosexuality.
The raid sparked fierce criticism from physicians, politicians and human rights groups. The latter insist the government should take steps to repeal the article of the Lebanese penal code.

As an argument, human rights groups say the test violates international standards against torture, including the Convention Against Torture and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which Lebanon ratified in 2000.

Activists say the tests are also carried out in violation of professional medical principles, including those of the World Medical Association and resolutions adopted by the UN.

On Tuesday, Lebanon's Order of Physicians issued its own letter, telling doctors they will face disciplinary measures if they carry out the exams.

Scores dead, almost 1,400 injured after 2 quakes strike Iran

2012-08-12T15:19:00.000+03:00

Two strong quakes have shaken Iran's northwest, leaving 227 people dead and 1,380 injured, the Interior Ministry reported. The quakes have also disrupted communications, complicating rescue efforts. The quakes, measuring 6.4 and 6.3 on the Richter scale, struck within 11 minutes of each other near the towns of Tabriz and Ahar in East Azerbaijan province on Saturday. About half of the villages located in the disaster zone have been damaged and some have been destroyed completely, Interior Minister Moustafa Mohammad-Najjar told local television.

Iran's main news channel said the first tremor hit the towns of Ahar, Haris and Varzaqan in East Azerbaijan province at 4:53pm local time (12:23 GMT ). The search for surviving victims in the area is over, with national services and aid organizations switching their focus on relief effort. "There are no people left to recover from under the rubble in any village, and all necessary aid is currently being distributed," an interior ministry official in charge of disaster management, Hossein Ghadami, told state television.

About 700 of the people injured by the disaster have been rushed to hospitals in the first hours of the rescue operation.

A spokesman for Tabriz's fire department told the ISNA news agency that "most parts of Tabriz have no electricity… and there is a heavy traffic jam in the city." Hundreds of people were rescued from under the collapsed buildings, but emergency efforts have been hampered by nightfall.

The affected area has been shaken by 35 aftershocks in the hours after the quakes struck, according to FARS. Officials have asked people to stay outdoors overnight. The tremors were felt in neighboring Azerbaijan, according to the local Seismology Institute, but no casualties have been reported.

Iran is generally susceptible to earthquakes, being situated on seismic fault lines. Tremors hit the country every day, but the majority of them are so insignificant that they go unnoticed.

The deadliest was a 6.6-magnitude quake which struck the southern city of Bam in December 2003, killing 31,000 people – about a quarter of the population – and destroying the city's ancient mud-built citadel.

7 Cameroon athletes disappear from Olympic Village

2012-08-07T22:22:00.000+03:00

A group of athletes from the Cameroons have fled the London 2012 Olympic Village, with alleged plans of finding better living in Europe. "What began as rumor has finally turned out to be true," David Ojong, head of Cameroon’s delegation at the Games, told Reuters. "Seven Cameroonian athletes who participated at the 2012 London Olympic Games have disappeared from the Olympic Village."

According to the official, the women's football goalie, Drusille Ngako, was the first to leave while her teammates were in Coventry for their last training encounter against New Zealand. Than there was swimmer, Paul Ekane Edingue, and five members of the boxing team, who followed her example.

Ojong says Thomas Essomba, Christian Donfack Adjoufack, Abdon Mewoli, Blaise Yepmou Mendouo and Serge Ambomo, disappeared from the Olympic village on Sunday.In all, 37 athletes came to London as part of Cameroon’s Olympic delegation.

How to deal with a facebook fake account

2012-08-05T09:42:00.000+03:00

Some people will try to dupe Facebook users for reasons of their own, from having a bit of fun, to duping for its own sake, right through to grooming people online or seeking to behave fraudulently. For your own sake, knowing how to spot a fake Facebook account is an important part of keeping safe online and remaining distant from people you don't know.

Know why it is important to spot a fake account.

If you're wondering what can happen to you from having a fake friend on Facebook, there are quite a few things that can cause you distress and loss from being involved with a con artist (which a Facebook faker usually is). For example, you could be manipulated into believing someone really cares about you when all they want is to play mind games for their own satisfaction or to get money, goods, property, or something else from you. The impostor might also be setting you up to steal your identity or valuable information from you that they can use to manipulate someone else.

Think twice about accepting friend requests from people you don't know or who haven't been connected to you through legitimate, verifiable means.

If you're not sure, consider the following:

Ask them questions: What makes you want to be my friend? How did you find out about me? Who do we know in common (you can then check)?
Look at their profile photo. Is it way too perfect or does it seem touched up in any way? Maybe you've seen it before?
Search their name online to see if it returns. This won't be so useful if the name is a common one but for a more unusual one, there might be some interesting returns.
Have they being tagged? A real person is generally tagged here and there as part of the Facebook sharing experience.
Use Google Image Search to look up the person's profile picture. Often, it is a generic photo taken from the internet.

Read the profile carefully.

Does what is being said add up or are there some really hard-to-believe statements being made? For example, maybe there is a photo of a very young person next to claims of being a professor or a CEO. Does the embellishment seem more than the usual "making oneself look good" and come across as simply implausible? Trust your own senses on this one. You could even ask for proofs of some of the things the person has stated.

Check out their friends.

Are their friends global or local? The more local the friends, the more likely the person is to be real. The more global their friendship list, with very few or no local friends, start getting suspicious. The lack of local friends suggests that this is not a real persona you're dealing with but a fake account.

Be alert to anyone new that you've friended but don't really know.

If you're in the (not-so-great) habit of accepting friend requests from friends of friends' friends or because they seem to have similar tastes to yours in music, cooking, dancing, or whatever, then you leave yourself open to the occasional fake. While you can make wonderful connections in this way, try to always have someone you do know vouch for this person first. And if that's not possible, be alert to signs of weird behavior, such as suddenly bombarding you with likes, comments, photos, etc. on a daily basis. If you hardly know this person, they should be taking things slowly and politely, not invading your space immediately.

Beware interconnected faking.

At one time it was probably reasonable to think that if someone had a group of friends interacting with them and vouching for each other, that that person must be real. However, there are increasing cases of one person running numerous fake Facebook accounts, pretending to be an array of different people, all vouching for one another and all trying to be friends with someone real! For example, the case of Natalia Burgess who wove a web of deceit and caused many young males to fall for her various aliases, all because she felt inadequately loved. Sadly, impostors of this sort go to incredible lengths to create an array of fake accounts including other social media accounts and websites to give the impression that their fake personas are "real".

Look for and record inconsistencies in the things they say to you.

If you're being targeted by an elaborate web of lies, eventually these start to unravel. This is most evident in someone who is trying to maintain several fake Facebook accounts at once and eventually, they will drop the ball and mix up their stories. If you start noticing this in response to questions, or in their comments, take note and remain alert for more inconsistencies.

Do a double take if the person says anything weird or "out-of-character".

For example, if an adult is pretending to be a teen, they may say something that dates them by referring to an historic event or person that teens wouldn't really know much about. Or they may prove to know way too much about a topic that someone they're claiming to be would not.

Be really wary of undying declarations of love, affection, and romance.

If someone you've never met, who lives thousands of miles away from you, and who has barely revealed themselves gets amorous with you, be suspicious. Sometimes the faker does this because they love the feeling of playing with the life and feelings of someone else; sometimes it's because they're in love with online love but are too afraid to reveal their true selves (or they're in a relationship in real life); and other times it could be that they're after something, like money, sex, or drugs.

Question your own feelings and motivations if you start to feel something for a person who declares they love you online. Is it too sudden? Too weird? Too freaky? A little bit icky? Trust those feelings and delete this fake friend from your account.
If they ask you for sexy pictures, immediately be suspicious. A fake account is a good shill for getting free pornographic material that then gets passed around online.

Unfriend this person if you're suspicious, unsure, or uncomfortable with having them as part of your Facebook friends.

It's not like they're your real friends or family but they could cause you a lot of problems if they keep pretending to be someone they're not to a point where it harms you. Warn other friends of yours on Facebook if you know they have also friended the fake account; one of the tactics of an impostor is to befriend others in your circle of friends to try and make the friendship seem more "real".

IMPORTANT FOR YOU

In 2006, co-workers Thomas Montgomery and Brian Barrett became so entangled in an online love triangle with a young woman who identified herself as "talhotblond" that Thomas eventually murdered Barrett at their office. Neither man realized that they were fighting over an overweight, middle-aged, stay-at-home mom.

So before falling hard for an online-only acquaintance, here are a few tips, gleaned from "Catfish," to help you detect fraudulent profiles on social networking and dating sites.

1. The perfect person is not a real person. A supermodel or retouched profile photo should raise the first red flag.

2. Be wary if the profile describes a personality that complements your own or is too good to be true. Often, imposters will create interests and activities that mirror your own in order to start a conversation.

3. Check how many friends and followers are listed in the person's network. The average Facebook user has 130 friends. An imposter will often have significantly fewer.

4. Determine whether any of your "mutual friends" have actually met your newest online acquaintance in person.

5. Use search engines to do a quick background check on the name and basic information used in a profile. If the profile claims the person attended Oxford, currently works as a CEO at an international company or runs marathons, you should be able to find mentions of these achievements on alumni, company or running sites, respectively. Schulman admitted that Googling Megan earlier in their relationship could have saved him a great deal of embarrassment and heartbreak.

6. Peruse posted pictures and albums carefully. A real person will often have pictures with friends and family, who will have tagged and commented on photos. By contrast, imposters will often use modeling photos featuring only glamorous shots of the individual rather than group photos.

7. Don't be tricked if your friend has multiple people who vouch for him or her online. One person can easily make multiple accounts to make it appear as if there is a support network of family and friends.

8. Imposters will often try to interact with your own friends and family members to create a broader sense of familiarity and build up a broader network of trust.

9. Finally, if you've been harmed by someone who posted a fake profile, report it to site monitors and authorities. Although it may be humiliating to be duped online, authorities will be able to identify imposters and close their accounts more quickly than you working independently.

THE HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN: Why this sms was dedicated to the late Ghana's President

2012-08-04T13:24:00.000+03:00

The much awaited message from Prophet T.B. Joshua on 29^th July 2012 was titled, The Highway To Heaven and was dedicated to the late Professor John Evans Atta Mills, President of Ghana.

The prophet said, “To get to Heaven, you must follow the way of the Cross. The Highway to Heaven starts on this side of death and the entrance is very easy to find”. The Bible says,

“Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).

He said, “Paul the Apostle declared that the road to Heaven is not difficult to find or to access. Are you on the right road?” The road is right in your front; it is in the Word of God, he assured.

The prophet said, “The Lord speaks to us through His Word by His Spirit, and Jesus said, ‘I am the Way, the Truth and the Life and no one cometh to the Father except through me’ ” (John 14:6).

He revealed that Jesus Christ died for our sins and broke the power of death by resurrection.

“You need not fear where you are going when you know Jesus is going with you”, the prophet insisted, noting that “Death is not a period, it is only a comma”. This is because of the death of Christ and the resurrection.

He stated that, “We who put our faith in Him, death is not a period but a comma”. “We need to be sure we are ready to depart” he said, stating that, “If you are prepared to die, you are prepared to live.

The prophet said that “Whether you are young or old, what matters is the grace to continue living hereafter. A man may die young, yet be satisfied with living; but a wicked man is not satisfied even with long life”, he revealed, stressing that “Continuing to trust Jesus is the only way to get the things you are not ready for”.

He mentioned that he was not mourning the late President Atta Mills but was celebrating his wonderful life, saying, “I thank God for a life well spent”.

He narrated his first visit to Ghana during a crusade where he met the late President Atta Mills who at the time was the vice president of former president Jerry Rawlings.

“We prayed together and then came the revelation and I told him, ‘You will be a president of this country one day.’ He said, ‘No I am going back to the classroom, I am a professor, a lecturer’. Truly, he went back to the classroom as a lecturer. After some years, I received a phone call from him telling me, ‘I was called to contest as a presidential candidate of a party’. I replied, ‘Remember what I told you’.

He came to The SCOAN and I told him, ‘Your journey – I see three contests, 1^st lose, 2^nd lose, then you can think of winning to become president’. He said, ‘A losing candidate, 1^st time, 2^nd time, will people believe such a candidate?’ I said, ‘Let the will of God be done’. With God, all things are possible; this is the voice of God. The relationship was purely based on revelation. When your relationship is based purely on revelation of God, nothing and nothing can break it.”

The Last Hurdle That Saw Him To The Throne

The man of God explained how Atta Mills accepted the revelation and began to believe that he could contest as a presidential candidate. When Atta Mills was running for the third time, the prophet received a phone call from him from South Africa in which he stated that he was booked for an operation.

The prophet prayed over it. After praying, he gave him a call. ‘You said operation. You had a dream some time ago; in that dream, someone was leading you, holding your hand as a guide to show you the way. Does that mean somebody will be holding your hand anywhere you go?’ He replied, ‘Yes, I had such a dream in Canada that I was blind and someone held my hand and was guiding me where to go.’ I said, ‘If you attempt the operation, this is what is going to happen. My brother, don’t try the operation’. He said, ‘Pastor, I would like to attempt one eye first. If it does not work, I will stop it.’ Our dear father went for an operation on one eye. On coming out of the operation, the eye could not work and had also affected the ear. So, he called me, ‘Man of God, I am coming straight to Nigeria.’ That was where the first news was carried that our dear father had died. While the news was everywhere in those days, our father was with me here. When our father arrived at the airport in Nigeria, the first words that came from him were, ‘I will no longer contest; I want to drop the ambition’. I replied, ‘The Lord says you will get there. You can’t change God’s Word’.

The relationship was not just an introduction but purely divine. The man of God spoke of how Atta Mills spent 10 days with him at The SCOAN. ‘We started praying together and the Lord restored the ears and the other eye that had not been operated on. Our father went back to Ghana and started campaigning. The ambition continued. If God used His servant at that period, what do you think that servant cannot do to carry on?

After the election results were out and Atta Mills was inaugurated as President of Ghana, T.B. Joshua explained how he had received another revelation about his journey. ‘The prophecy I received from God was the same prophecy I used that day as a prayer point. I asked God to give him the spirit of a finisher. The second prayer point God gave me was, ‘God, give us the grace to complete the job that we started’. At that moment of celebration, there was nothing that called for that kind of prayer point. I began to see an unchangeable event.

‘He was a promised child being led by revelation’, the prophet told the congregation and viewers. The prophet said that it was not sickness or disease that killed him but it was God’s time. He prayed for the family of the late President and the nation, Ghana and said, ‘Our father is a martyr – the legacy he left behind – an unexplainable unity among political class, that is what our father fought for and won’.

In remembrance of Atta Mills, T.B. Joshua said, ‘What a good man – very modest in his leadership. Africa, we are not mature enough for this kind of leadership. He was a good man but a good man cannot succeed alone.’

OVERCOME YOUR DOUBT

2012-08-04T13:08:00.000+03:00

“Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction” (1 Timothy 6:9).

The greatest thing satan aims at in tempting good people is to overthrow their position as children of God. One of the satanic strategies is to get you to doubt God’s goodness. Satan tries to get you to forget all God has given you and wants you to focus on what you do not have because when you are spending much of your time thinking about what you do not have, you may find yourself slipping into unhealthy doubt.

Doubt comes when we fail to remember what the Lord has done for us and concentrate on what we do not have. “Lord, give me this, give me that…” but what about those things God has already given you?

We are mere instruments in the hands of God and when we see ourselves clearly in the light of God’s Word, we will realize that we do not deserve anything and will therefore be grateful for anything we receive from Him.

God knows our needs and heart’s desires. God’s time is the best. Be patient and let God answer your questions on His schedule not yours.

Lady Gaga goes to court after bad doll romance

2012-07-26T21:46:00.000+03:00

Poker Face songstress Lady Gaga is no stranger to scandals. This time around, a toy company is suing the eccentric star for over $10 million, claiming she has sabotaged a deal to create a doll that would play bits of her music hits.

According to the creator of the Bratz doll line, MGA Entertainment, the toy maker paid a $1 million advance to the company that handles Gaga's merchandizing. The dolls were supposed to reflect Gaga's signature style – her famous “meat dress”, for one, making even the boldest fashionistas raise an eyebrow.

Things went wrong when the singer's merchandiser decided to abolish the key part of the deal, allowing the dolls to use the singer's music. Gaga's representatives finally withdrew from the multimillion-dollar project, reportedly jeopardizing up to $30 million in expected revenue from the upcoming shopping season, and holding up orders from at least 10 countries.

A representative for Lady Gaga called the lawsuit "ill-conceived", saying there was "no legitimate reason" to drag the singer into a dispute between the two companies.

Eighty-eight female daredevils storm sky-high record

2012-07-26T08:45:00.000+03:00

A group of Russia's most daring ladies have overcome months of grueling training to prove that the sky is not the limit, and set a new world record in formation skydiving.
This was the task for 88 Russian women in Moscow Region's Kolomna airfield to descend hand-in-hand at a height of 20,000 feet to set a new mark.
Parachute gurus say that this attempt takes teamwork to another level, both for professional jumpers and enthusiasts – free-falling while holding hands leaves no margin for error, as success depends on each and every member of the team.
But it was not all plain sailing right from the start. The first two attempts at the record saw the girls fall short.
However, thousands of fans from all over the country kept their faith alive and were well-rewarded for their patience.

Kentucky teen faces jail time after exposing sexual assailants on Twitter

Kentucky teen faces jail time after exposing sexual assailants on Twitter

A 17-year old Kentucky girl is facing up to 180 days in jail for tweeting the names of two teenagers who sexually assaulted her.

Savannah Dietrich, a Louisville resident, said she was frustrated by what she considered a lenient plea bargain for the boys, who had pleaded guilty to assaulting her and distributing photos of the episode.

Dietrich was sexually assaulted by acquaintances after falling unconscious after drinking one night in 2011. Growing worried that people she knew had seen the photos, she became too embarrassed to go out in public.

“For months, I cried myself to sleep. I couldn’t go out in public places,” she told the Courier-Journal, Louisville’s main newspaper. “You just sit there and wonder, who saw [the pictures], who knows?”

The teenage boys pleaded guilty to first-degree sexual abuse and misdemeanor voyeurism. While their sentencing is due next month, there is a plea agreement that Dietrich considers nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

“I felt like they were given a very, very light deal,” she said. “I wasn’t happy with it, at all.”

She took her frustration to Twitter and now, she faces contempt charges for violating the confidentiality of minors in court. But although she faces up to 180 days in jail and a $500 fine for publicizing their names, she refuses to be silenced.

“There you go, lock me up,” she wrote on Twitter after naming her assaulters. “I’m not protecting anyone that made my life a living hell.”

The girl is turning to the media regarding her case. While some legal experts claim Dietrich should have the right to talk about what happened to her, others say she should not have violated the court’s order of confidentially.

Jo Ann Phillips of the Kentuckians Voice for Crime Victims says that although Dietrich stood up for what she believed was right, she should have taken a different approach.

“She should have gone to a victims’ group or her local legislator and fought for her right to speak out,” Phillips said.

But Dietrich continues to speak publicly about her case, hoping the media attention will give her the justice she hopes for.

“If they really feel it’s necessary to throw me in jail for talking about what happened to me … as opposed to throwing these boys in jail for what they did to me, then I don’t understand justice,” she said.

Olympic organizers display South Korean flag for team from North

2012-07-26T08:19:00.000+03:00

Olympic organizers have incorrectly displayed the South Korean flag instead of the North Korean one at a stadium`s giant screen. The mistake prompted North Korea’s Olympic women’s soccer team to leave the pitch before their match against Colombia at Glasgow's Hampden Park. The match finally kicked off one hour later. It was another setback for British organizers of the Olympic Games, following the numerous security problems.

Steps to raise the quality of Education

2012-07-26T07:21:00.001+03:00

The Government has refuted claims that the current decline in education quality is fueled by failure or poor inspection in both primary and secondary schools in the country.

Deputy Minister for Education and Vocation Training Phillipo Mulugo said this when responding to a supplementary question asked by Ngara legislator (CCM), Deogratias Ntukamazina.

In his question the MP had claimed that decline in education quality in the country was attributed by the government to failure to support school inspectors to perform their duties.
“Weakening of education quality in the country has been fueled by teachers, students and parents’ dishonesty,” he said.

The minister accused head teachers and school masters of colluding with parents in exchange for bribes to register students who failed in their primary school final examinations.

The minister also attributed the limited budget allocated by the government to undertake school inspection as a challenge.
He said the current budget for school inspection to be fully conducted runs up to 13.6bn/- and that the government was making efforts to obtain the needed amount.
“Each fiscal year, the government allocates a budget for school inspection but it’s clear that the amount does cover the demand,” he said.

The minister added that currently there are 1601primary schools and 4367 secondary schools and that the government is planning to introduce an executive agency that will undertake inspection exercise of schools all over the country.

Meanwhile the minister Dr Shukuru Kawambwa has pledged to ensure sufficient teaching equipment in schools to promote quality education in the country.

Dr Kawambwa told the House that the government plans to re-grade students enrolled into teaching colleges to less than the 27 points of a division four graduate.

“We don’t want failures to teach our students. We want the more successful students to join teachers colleges,” he said.

US Monsignor sentenced for sex abuse

2012-07-25T10:45:00.000+03:00

Monsignor William Lynn was found guilty last month of one count of child endangerment [Reuters]

The highest-ranking US church official to be convicted of covering up child sex allegations, Monsignor William Lynn, has been sentenced to three to six years in prison.

Lynn, whose job it was to investigate reports of abuse in the archdiocese from 1992 to 2004, was found guilty last month of one count of child endangerment.

Defence lawyers had pushed for Lynn to be spared prison, but Judge Teresa Sarmina on Tuesday imposed close to the maximum sentence of between three-and-a-half and seven years.

"It was three to six years," an official at the court in Philadelphia told AFP news agency by telephone, confirming the tough sentence.

Lynn, 61, who took the witness stand for three days during his 10-week trial, was not charged with molesting children, but rather with covering up the crimes of priests who did.

He argued that he may have been out of his depth, but had never acted criminally.

Victims' groups hailed the verdict as a major step forward as a court had acknowledged that someone in Lynn's position had endangered a child.

The trial, the first in the US involving such a senior official in the Catholic Church, also centered on two more Philadelphia priests.

Reverend James Brennan, who was suspended from his duties as a priest, stood accused of attempting to rape a teenaged boy in the 1990s. The jury was hung over the charges dealing with Brennan, who will not face a new trial.

Defrocked priest Edward Avery pleaded guilty on the eve of trial. Avery was sentenced to between 2.5 and five years in prison.

During the trial the court heard graphic testimony describing sexual abuse in the Philadelphia archdiocese.

'Constant deceit'

Lynn was found not guilty of endangering Brennan's accuser and not guilty of conspiring to endanger that accuser. He was found guilty of endangering Avery's victim, but not guilty of conspiracy with regard to that victim.

"The Lynn trial is of lasting significance because of its guilty verdict"

- BishopAccountability.org

Lynn's lawyer described him as a low level functionary who struggled within a rigid church hierarchy to act against abuse by documenting it and compiling the voluminous records that prosecutors used to build their case.

The defence said a prison sentence was unfair and that Lynn should not be punished in the same way as Avery, who had actually committed sexual abuse.

Prosecutors portrayed Lynn as a keeper of the secrets who was obliged to compile the records and thought they would never see the light of day.

Prosecutors allege that in failing to remove abusive priests from positions where they had contact with minors, Lynn put children in danger.

Prosecutors wrote in their pre-sentencing memo that Lynn showed "constant deceit" and "a striving to please his bosses no matter how sinister the business".

Shockwaves from the trial are expected to keep reverberating.

"The Lynn trial is of lasting significance because of its guilty verdict, and because the record of the trial contains a dramatic analysis for a single archdiocese of the two crimes that constitute the ongoing sex abuse crisis: a) the sexual abuse of children by priests and b) the enabling and cover-up of the abuse," wrote bishop-accountability.org, which tracks reported abuses.

Chinese dictionary refuses to use "comrades" gay

2012-07-23T12:04:00.000+03:00

In a picture taken on March 8, 2011, a gay couple kiss during their ceremonial 'wedding' to raise awareness of the issue of homosexual marriage, in Wuhan, in central China's Hubei province.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

A popular Chinese dictionary has left out the "gay" definition of a word used to describe homosexuals
The term "tongzhi" traditionally means comrade but has evolved to refer to gay men and lesbians
Compilers of the dictionary said they didn't want to encourage that use of the word
Activists and linguists are angered at the omission saying it's not right to leave out a widely-used word

Hong Kong (CNN) -- A newly published edition of an authoritative Chinese dictionary has come under fire for leaving out the homosexual definition of a word commonly used to refer to gay men and lesbians.

The word "tongzhi" traditionally means "comrade" and has been widely used by the Communist Party. But in recent decades the word has evolved to refer to homosexuals.

The committee charged with revising and updating the dictionary said they chose to leave out the definition because they didn't want to encourage its use, the director of the committee Jiang Langsheng told Chengdu Business Daily.

Coming out of the closet in China

The dictionary, which had its sixth edition published July 15, is one of the most renowned sources of information in China. According to CNTV this latest edition contains 69,000 entries -- an increase of 4,000 from the fifth edition published in 2005.

"It's unacceptable that the 'gay' meaning of 'tongzhi' was excluded from the dictionary, a reference book written for all, simply because of the compilers' own preferences and values," Nan Feng, a gay rights activist told the state-run news agency Xinhua.

"Tongzhi" serves as a substitute for "tongxinglian," which is the formal Chinese term for homosexuality. The 2005 edition of the Contemporary Chinese Dictionary defines "tongxinglian" both as same-sex love and as a psychosexual disorder, according to Xinhua.

Homosexuality's classification as a mental disorder was removed in China in 2001, despite the dictionary's definition.

Like activists, linguists are also unhappy with the decision to leave out a term that is widely used in daily Chinese dialogue.

"There have always been good words and bad ones," Cui Yan, a planning editor for Science and Technology Document Press, told Beijing Business Daily. "But they are all linguistic phenomena. Just because the dictionary doesn't include them doesn't mean they don't exist."

Across the web, people have spoken out about the lack of the colloquial definition of "tongzhi."

One user on China's microblogging site Sina Weibo, who calls himself "Yves Hugo" said "Tongzhi are there. They are a group of people. Whether you 'encourage or not.' Tongzhi means gay people. The definition will be in dictionary at some point."

Arab League to offer safe exit to Assad

2012-07-23T11:29:00.002+03:00

The Arab League will offer Syrian President Bashar al-Assad "a safe exit" if he resigns quickly and leaves the country, a senior Arab League official said, marking the latest attempt to get Syria's longtime ruler to step down and end more than a year of daily bloodshed.

The official provided no further details because the source is not authorized to speak to the media.

Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani did not discuss an exit plan when speaking with reporters after the Sunday meeting, but confirmed "there is an agreement on the need for the swift resignation" of Assad.

"We call on the opposition and the Free Syrian Army to form a government of national unity," Sheikh Hamad said.

Despite Arab League offer, the brutal violence didn't let up.

At least 11 people were killed in early morning violence Monday, the opposition Local Coordination Committees of Syria said.

In Homs, two people were killed "due to intense shelling by helicopters and rocket launchers, accompanied by intense clashes between the (rebel) Free Syrian Army and the regime army," the group said.

The LCC reported fierce clashes continued for a second day in Aleppo, a critical city in the Syrian crisis. Aleppo, the largest city and commercial hub of Syria, is akin to New York in the United States.

Both Aleppo and the capital city of Damascus -- longtime al-Assad strongholds -- came under heavy fighting on Sunday, opposition activists said.

By the end of the day, 111 people had died across Syria, including 56 people in and around Damascus and three in Aleppo, the LCC said.

In a video posted online Sunday, the head of the rebel Free Syrian Army in Aleppo announced an operation "to liberate the city of Aleppo from the rule of the Assad thugs, whose hands were blood-stained by heinous crimes against our people."

Brig. Gen. Abdel Jabbar Al-Obeidi also vowed to secure Aleppo and protect all minorities and sects, including the members of Alawite sect that the president belongs to.

If rebels eventually gain control of Aleppo, it would mark a pivotal point in the Syrian crisis and deal a heavy blow to al-Assad's financial ties.

In Damascus, a mosque came under attack Sunday from rocket and helicopter shelling while worshippers were inside, the LCC said. The mosque caught fire and "many" were killed, the group said.

But the Syrian regime denied reports of helicopter attacks in Damascus, saying it was "life as usual" in most of the city, Syrian state-run TV reported Sunday.

The war of words continued late Sunday, when Syrian state television broadcast an "important" statement from the Information Ministry saying Western intelligence and "some Arab parties" are planning to hijack Syrian TV frequencies and deliver false news reports of a coup, defections or cities having fallen into rebel hands.

State-run TV said the stations "might use Syrian journalists under pressure after being kidnapped." According to the roport, CNN cannot independently confirm reports of violence because the government restricts access by foreign journalists.
