The Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph this week agreed to pay an Independence man $225,000, its biggest settlement ever in a case of alleged priest sexual abuse.

The Diocese of San Diego and the Diocese of San Bernardino, which broke off from its southern neighbor in 1978, agreed Sept. 7 to pay $198.1 million to settle lawsuits with 144 victims of sexual abuse by priests between 1938 and 1993.

In July 2007 Los Angeles archdiocese agrees to pay $660 million to 508 victims in what is by far the largest Catholic settlement of its kind

During the pope's trip to Austria when it was still reeling from a sex abuse scandal that caused the resignations of Vienna's archbishop in 1995 and the closure of a seminary near Vienna in 2004, after some 40,000 pornographic photographs were discovered on computers there.

Are these the values we aim to give our children and what sort of citizens can we expect them to be? Do we have to succumb to this organised ring of abuse?

Just watching GMTV on the day that should be Rhys Jones' 12th Birthday... Christ, it's utterly heartbreaking and cruel what his poor mum and dad are going through, now and for the rest of their lives...

The gave a very moving speech in appeal to the mother of his killer, to give him in..

Having seen the CCTV, I'd say that there are people who know who that boy is, (im aware of the fear in that community now) but surely, as the parent of this 'person', if they knew their son had actually randomly shot an 11 year old, something in them would want to give him in to the police...

I dont have any kids...(I did have, but he passed away very young) so I dont know myself what its like to have a teenager... Is the motherly/fatherly instinct so strong towards your own, you'd protect a murderer...??

What do you think... Would you give up your own???

When interviewed by supv & director I was never told they were looking for a bilingual only and was not asked if I was. The H.R. person is trying to cover up the bilingual thing but the supv told me this was the case. This is an ethics issue should I report it. I still work for the company and want to keep my current position (until I find something else of course.) So should I report this or would I be making trouble for myself & my future with this company. The supv promised me the next position (after they find someone bilingual first) but i'm stubborn and wont take it anyway becuz they gave me the run-around with this position. They were ready to make me an offer & then changed their mind quickly. I also am convinced that the H.R rep for my department is prejudice & trying to cover up.

Basically the assignment is for students to wear a hijab for a day and then write a report on that assignment. The assignment is not for males or other muslims that wear in the class but just womyn in the class room. Does this violate the law in any way or is it justified to ask your students to do so? (Just a reminder this is a womyn studies class in college).

will I have to pay them in order to keep from getting my credit ruined?
Last night a collection agency call my work asking for me but I was gone so the owner(talk about embarasing) left me a note to call them today, which I did. The collection agent told me that since I live in WI which is a joint propery state I am responcible for the bill too and that they already posted it on my credit(without even consulting me before hand) and that if I wanted it removed I would have to pay them. I payed them immediatly. It was for her apartments electric bill and for a doctor bill neither of which I signed for or had any knowledge of until today. I have three questions: 1. Did they pull a fast one on me and trick me in to paying her bills? 2. May I sue her to recover the the money I am now out since when we filed for divorce I distinctly remember the lawer telling us that one of the papers we signed stated that from that moment on we were responcble for our own finances his example was

This is my first time (mock trial) and I really want to learn how to make a closing argument (on behalf of the prosecution). I've looked it up online, but nothing helps. I would also like to know that if the defendant violated a state penal code, if it should be said that the prosecution charges (defendant) of violating (state penal code) and why, and evidence to back it up, in the closing argument. Also, overall, what should it be about? What should be in it? So if anyone can help me, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Miracle-Gro has instituted a ban on employee smoking, and America's Next Top Model has done the same. Should businesses be able to fire employees for engaging in legal activities on their private time? PLEASE NOTE that I do not refer to activities which pose security risks or safety risks (i.e. drinking two hours before flying a plane). If possible, please state your job and whether or not bans exist which apply to your free time and legal activities.

I was pull over in a "speed trap" pass a down wered hill In San Diego, This Motor COP from Traffic Division said I was going 48 mph in a 30mph zone, however he wrote it as 40mph on my ticket and spelled my middle name wrong.

Should I fight This Traffic "Infraction" or go to a California Traffic School,

I am a criminal Justice major in college and i feel I was wrongfully cited in a low-income neighborhood where this cop only used radar gun to justify his citation.

What are your opinions and how should I fight this injustice for revenue!!
