Her Turn
"Brent has been having an affair with a coworker named Kay," said Anna, 37, a soft-spoken brunette. "He claims he wants to stay married — and I want to believe him — but the woman still works as a paralegal in his office. They see each other every day. So how can we possibly move on?
"This is so unlike Brent. I thought we had a good marriage. We never fought; we never even raised our voices. If he was unhappy, why didn't I know?
"This has been the worst year of my life. Ten months ago I had a miscarriage after finally getting pregnant through in vitro fertilization, which followed three attempts through artificial insemination. The whole process was a nightmare, but it all seemed worth it when I got pregnant. When I miscarried at nine weeks, the heartache was unimaginable. But what shocked me most was Brent's reaction. He didn't even seem all that upset.
"Brent is a corporate lawyer who just made partner at one of Atlanta's top firms. His hours have always been grueling. Mine aren't much better. I'm a director of stock research at an investment bank. Sometimes we have to check our BlackBerrys to figure out if we can have dinner together.
"Around the time I got pregnant, we began house hunting. We found one and moved in right before I miscarried. It's perfect — a half hour from our offices, with a lovely garden out back. But I had the feeling that Brent was pretending to like the house for my sake. When I asked, he said I was being my usual oversensitive self. But it's so hard to know with my husband — he stuffs his feelings inside.
"Still, I never dreamed he'd be unfaithful. Brent is just so loyal — ask anyone who knows him. I mean, he's still friends with guys he went to preschool with! But over the past few months, Brent was putting in even longer hours than usual. He was also drinking a lot. Sometimes I didn't know where he was. I'd call his cell, and it would go straight to voice mail. I'd be frantic: What if he was wrapped around a telephone pole somewhere?
"I've never been the suspicious type, but at his firm's spring picnic, I noticed that Kay gave him a hug that seemed more than colleague-friendly. When I mentioned it to Brent, he said I was being silly. But soon the clues were too blatant to ignore. One weekend I found long dark hairs on his shirt. I froze for a minute, then went upstairs and begged him to tell me the truth. That's when he broke down and confessed. Not only that, he said he wasn't sure he wanted kids after all — and that he hated our house!
"I felt as if a bomb had dropped on me. I didn't know what to do, so I called my parents. As an only child, I've always been close to them, especially my mom. They have a great marriage — I've never once heard them fight. My dad, a factory worker, was always very conservative and overprotective, but he only wanted the best for me. I went to Catholic schools, rarely disobeyed my parents, and even lived at home for the first two years of college. It was a big deal for me to move into my own apartment with a girlfriend when I was a junior.
"I met Brent not long after I began my first job at the investment bank where I still work. His friend was dating a woman in my office. They came by to pick her up, and he and I chatted for several minutes. I thought he was adorable, but when he asked for my phone number, I hesitated. I was nervous about giving my number out to a stranger. Instead, I asked for his and promised to call. He doubted I would, but he was wrong. We had our first date on Valentine's Day.
"We discovered we had similar values and backgrounds. But while I tend to be super serious, Brent is Mr. Social, and his fun side brought out my own. After dating for a year, we got married at my parents' church. His parents live a few minutes from mine, and both families have become close. Our holiday celebrations always include everyone.
"A nice life, or so I thought. Now it feels like a big lie. I love Brent and believe that marriage is forever. But how can I trust him?"
His Turn
"I used to look down on guys who cheat on their wives," said Brent, a handsome man of 37. "Now I'm one of them and I'm so ashamed I can't look Anna in the eye. But I'm also strangely relieved that she knows. I'm tired of lying.
"How did the affair start? The way these things often do — after an office party, when we'd both drunk too much. Kay is very sexy and she's into a lot of fantasy stuff I could never ask Anna to do. I sound like a complete caveman, but I wasn't even thinking about the pain I would cause Anna.
"Since I was a kid, I've been the type to pretend everything's fine when bad things happen. My family was not big on talk; stop whining and get moving was the basic MO. My parents had a dismal marriage. Neither one ever expressed affection for each other or their kids. I'd do anything for my two brothers, but my parents — Dad was an accountant, Mom a homemaker — paid no attention to me. I don't remember them ever coming to my baseball games. My uncle was more of a dad to me. He gave me my first baseball mitt and took me to my first Atlanta Braves game.
"My uncle was a lawyer, so I wanted to be one, too. Luckily, I won several scholarships to both college and law school. I love my work and feel very fortunate to be with my firm. I've worked with great people on some of the decade's biggest deals.
"I wish I could be as enthusiastic about my marriage. We used to have a healthy sex life, but our focus on our careers killed the sex. Sometimes I'd want to make love, but Anna wouldn't be in the mood, so I didn't push it. Once in a blue moon we'd go away for a weekend, have fantastic sex and say, "Let's do this more often!" But we'd slip back into our old pattern.
"I'm also not sure about children. I just made partner and need time in my new responsibilities. I'm not saying never — just not yet. But two years ago Anna became hell-bent on getting pregnant. I went along because I love her, but I was ambivalent. I'm scared that in spite of my best intentions, I'll be a lousy father, like my dad. Plus, there was just so much sadness and stress around the whole infertility issue. Anna would get depressed if she got her period and bossy about when we had to have sex. Day 10? Too early. Day 14? Good to go. I felt like a machine.
"It seemed unfair that other people got pregnant immediately and we had to go through hell. When she finally conceived through IVF, she was thrilled beyond belief. Maybe that's why I agreed to this house, even though I can't stand it or the neighborhood. I figured at least it would be a good place to raise a child. After she lost the baby, being here felt pointless. But for her to suggest I didn't care about the miscarriage is dead wrong. I was torn up inside.
"The miscarriage was a huge blow, but little things upset Anna, too. And she's so regimented! Whether it's cleaning the basement or getting my mom a present, she'll announce that we have to do it that instant, no ifs, ands, or buts. She makes lists of her lists, and if I don't do something on her timetable, she gets mad. What I wouldn't give for a little spontaneity.
"The affair is over, and Anna knows that. It was never more than lust for me. But I have no idea how to handle the fact that Kay works at my firm and keeps making excuses to see me. To leave would be professional suicide, and as a junior partner I'm not in a position to have her transferred to another department. I just don't know what to do about any of it."
The Counselor's Turn
"Nothing prepares you for a spouse's infidelity," said the counselor. "Your self-respect and sense of control over your life get swept away, leaving you unmoored. That's why my first task was to reassure Anna that her anger and sadness were normal. 'You're mourning the illusion that your relationship with Brent was special,' I told her. 'Your reaction is appropriate.' But even though anger can be therapeutic, in the long run it keeps you stuck. Anna needed to let go of her anger in order to explore what went wrong in her marriage. 'Understanding the part you may have played doesn't excuse Brent's actions,' I said. 'But it can help you figure out what changes are needed to make the relationship work.'
"Anna and Brent took small steps on three key fronts: building trust, nurturing the marriage, and restoring sexual intimacy. The fact that Kay worked in Brent's office was an extra burden. Although he eliminated all contact with Kay unless another person was present, she kept trying to see him. Brent instructed his secretary to block all calls and e-mails. ('She probably suspects the affair, but she's discreet and I need her help,' Brent admitted.) Kay persisted until he told her outright, 'I'm sorry I have hurt you, but I love my wife. My marriage means the world to me.'
"Meanwhile, to rebuild trust, I asked Anna to write down everything she needed Brent to do to affirm his love. Her list included: Tell me whenever you see her (even if it's just a routine work encounter); listen when I need to vent; and check in with me throughout the day, especially if you have a business dinner. Brent adhered to her every wish. He also stopped drinking, which had been a problem.
"At one session, Anna asked if Kay was a better lover than she was. I had advised Brent to say just enough for a reality check — nothing hurtful or punitive. He was silent for a moment, then said, 'The sex was better than what we have had in a while, but that's because it was illicit — and because I thought you weren't interested."
"Although it stung her to hear this, Anna appreciated the honesty. 'I've always known that Brent wanted to push the sexual envelope more than I did,' she conceded. I told her that spouses frequently have different levels of desire. The most immediate goal, however, was getting a handle on her anger. While she needed to express it, uncontrolled rage is destructive. I suggested she allow herself two 20-minute 'outbursts' a day. During these periods, she could lash out at Brent while he held her and listened (his way of acknowledging his responsibility for her anger). When the time was up, she had to stop. Anna regularly used this escape hatch for several months, but as she learned to focus on improving her marriage instead of dwelling on the affair, she needed it less and less.
"We next turned to the challenge of remaking their relationship into the emotional sanctuary it once was. These two had put their marriage on hold while they concentrated on their careers. But unless a couple consciously reinforces their bond daily, it won't hold fast when a crisis erupts. This couple also had a 'polite marriage,' sidestepping conflict whenever possible. Having never seen her parents argue, Anna was unprepared for dissent in her marriage. And in her quiet but determined way she made certain there wasn't any, unconsciously pressuring Brent to go along with what she wanted. But while their marriage lacked conflict, it also lacked passion and excitement.
"Despite his confident facade, Brent had trouble connecting with others (a quality common among adults who felt unloved as children, as he did). Having been largely ignored by his parents, Brent found it difficult to express his feelings and had no clue how to deal with Anna's anxieties. Rather than risk upsetting her, he acquiesced to her wishes, then resented her and ultimately acted out by having an affair, which is appealing because it provides the illusion of intimacy without the emotional baggage and responsibility that true intimacy brings.
"Also, men often bury their fears about fatherhood. I pointed out to Brent that never revealing your true feelings can be far more detrimental to a marriage than a healthy argument. In counseling, Brent and Anna both struggled to voice their deepest concerns about the affair, as well as their feelings at the moment. In the process, they learned to really hear what the other had to say. During one weekly talk, they agreed to put off the decision to try to get pregnant again. Anna was disappointed but didn't try to change Brent's mind. 'We'll talk about it when we're ready,' she said.
"She's also learned to relinquish her need for control. Case in point: Last July 4, the couple hosted a barbecue. When Anna started to fret over the to-do list, Brent said he'd take care of everything. When July 2 arrived and he still hadn't ordered meat, she panicked. 'I told her I knew what I was doing,' Brent reported. 'She backed off, and I ordered the food and picked up everything else at Costco, and everyone had a great time.'
"The hardest part of the couple's therapy was sexual healing. Anna felt uncomfortable even kissing her husband, let alone making love. 'You can't expect to feel emotionally safe right away,' I said, 'so take it slow.' Cuddling on the couch with no expectation of intercourse, exchanging long kisses and showing affection both in and out of the bedroom help a couple feel close again. I also challenged Anna to confront her fears about resuming sex. 'Ask yourself, "What am I waiting for?" You shouldn't do anything that makes you uncomfortable, but instead of waiting for the special moment to strike, act "as if" you want to make love,' I advised. 'You'll discover that good sex builds on itself.'
"This couple finished counseling with their marriage firmly on the mend. I believe it will emerge stronger than ever as Anna continues to work on forgiveness. They will be better prepared for parenthood when and if they try again to conceive. 'Brent's affair will always be a part of who we are,' Anna told me, 'but only one part. I love Brent, and I'm finally realizing that if we're honest and respectful of each other's needs, our marriage will only get better.'"

Lamar University to host regional Texas History Day Feb. 14
The Lamar University department of history will host the fourth annual Regional History Day competition on Thursday, Feb. 14, attracting students from high schools and middle schools across Southeast Texas.
Lamar's event is part of National History Day, and the theme is "Turning Points in History: People, Places, Ideas." Activities will be from 1 to 6 p.m. in the Setzer Student Center. In addition, participants will tour Lamar's Spindletop/Gladys City Boomtown Museum from 10 to 11 a.m.
About 140 students in grades 6 through 12 have registered to participate, said Carol Atmar, instructor of history at Lamar and event coordinator. Beaumont West Brook, Port Neches-Groves, Warren and Livingston are among the schools represented.
Categories for the competition include websites, exhibits, documentaries, performances and research papers.
The Texas State Historical Association has sponsored Texas History Day for more than 25 years.
"This is an affiliate of National History Day, the nation's oldest and most highly regarded humanities contest for students in middle and high school," Atmar said. "National History Day reinforces classroom teaching by rewarding students for their scholarship, individual initiative and cooperative learning.
"Students grow academically and intellectually as they integrate social studies, the arts, sciences, language arts and other disciplines into a historical presentation," Atmar said.
Participants will be divided into the senior division for ninth through twelfth grades and the junior division for sixth through eighth grades. Categories include individual paper, individual or group exhibit, individual or group performance, individual or group documentary, and individual or group website.
Texas History Day at Lamar is one of 22 regional competitions, where students present the results of projects they have researched and produced over the course of the school year, Atmar said.
The top two entries in each division for each category will advance to state competition at Texas History Day May 3 and 4 in Austin, while state winners will advance to the national contest in June at the University of Maryland in College Park, Md.
As many as 45,000 young Texans are involved in the program at the regional and state levels each year. More than 1,000 students participate in Texas History Day, and about 60 students represent Texas at National History Day.
For more information contact Atmar at (409) 880-2253 or email carol [dot] atmar [at] lamar [dot] edu.

Schools close as upper Midwest copes with more extreme cold; exposure suspected in 2 deaths
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
MADISON, Wis. – School districts across the upper Midwest are canceling classes as the region grapples with another day of extreme cold.
Dozens of Michigan school districts canceled classes. The wind chill made it feel like 35 below in the western Upper Peninsula early Tuesday morning.
The temperature in International Falls, Minn., near the Canadian border, was minus 30, headed to an expected high of 8 below. Schools there remained open, although others across northern Minnesota closed or started late.
Overnight temperatures in Sioux Falls, S.D., dropped to 9 below with the wind chill. Wisconsin authorities, meanwhile, are investigating whether exposure contributed to two deaths over the past three days.
Forecasters say waves of frigid Arctic air began moving over the region Saturday night. Temperatures are expected to rebound Wednesday.

James returns for Heat, Wade and Bosh to sit
Miami, FL – The Miami Heat will have reigning league MVP LeBron James back in the lineup on Saturday when the team takes on the Philadelphia 76ers.
James, who has been resting a tight right hamstring, will make his return from a three-game absence, however the Heat will continue to be without Dwyane Wade, and now Chris Bosh as well.
Wade will miss his fourth straight game with an ankle injury, while Bosh will sit with a sore right knee. Ray Allen missed Friday's contest to rest an ankle injury, but will be available off the bench on Saturday.
The Heat currently own the league's best record at 59-16.

What "Community" Has to Say about Community College
Earlier this month, I settled in to watch the fourth-season finale of the NBC sitcom Community. At the episode's airing the threat of cancellation was looming, and I wondered if this would be the last I saw of the lovable characters at Greendale Community College. Watching what could have been the end, I began to reflect on the series, and specifically the pilot episode.
In the series pilot, the dean of the school addresses the students with the question, "What is a community college?" and then attempts to debunk several community college myths, such as being a "loser college" for people who couldn't handle a four-year school. Unfortunately, he loses one of his notecards and, inevitably, the attention of the crowd. While this monologue serves to set up an introduction to our favorite study group members, I wonder what the dean would have said if he had been able to finish his speech. I would like to think he would say, "Well, you heard wrong! Community college is more than you could ever imagine!" And after reading our newest research report, Women in Community Colleges: Access to Success, I think that's what he should have said.
Community colleges are an affordable option for student parents like Community's Shirley who want to improve their education so they can provide for their families. In fact, over 1 million mothers attend community colleges, but only about 50 percent of community colleges offer child care services. Throughout the show, Shirley mentions the constraints of limited child care while she's in school or working on projects. Imagine how much more time she would have had for her studies if there were an on-campus child care center.
Community colleges are also a good option for young adults who aren't interested in or ready to attend a four-year university. Characters Annie and Troy both graduated high school and chose this path instead of the "traditional" university route. Another character, Britta, left high school early to travel and gain new life experiences, then enrolled at Greendale once her traveling adventures came to an end. The open-admissions policies at community colleges allow students to try higher education at relatively low costs and low risk, with potentially high returns: many use their two-year degrees as professional training for better-paying careers. Community colleges also help students like Jeff, another character in the show, earn bachelor's degrees. Jeff returns to higher education because he needs a bachelor's degree to continue working in his profession. Jeff and other mid-career professionals can use community college to improve their job skills in their current fields, or prepare for new ones.
While the show focuses more on pop culture references and less on the actual workings of a community college, it does show how these institutions provide access to students of all ages, with a variety of goals, and who are often juggling family and work demands. And we aren't talking about a small group of college students — community colleges enroll 40 percent of all undergraduates today. *Spoiler alert* In the last shot of this season's finale, the camera pans to a Greendale Community College poster that reads, "Greendale Community College: Your Path to a Brighter Future." Maybe this comedy isn't completely fiction after all.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Tuesday, March 07, 2006
Ben Kimberly Prins (1904-1980)
Back in 1945, still a few years before America's mass exodus from its decaying urban centres into freshly minted suburbs, companies like Barret tried to appeal to the country's rural and small town population:
"America's farm-to-market network of highways needs attention - and needs it badly."
The message was clear; farmers needed good roads to ensure the country could eat. By 1960, with urban sprawl well under way and America now deeply, madly in love with the car, the paving industry had abandoned the farm to chase after the commuter class. See this ad, illustrated by Robert Fawcett or this one by Bill Fleming as examples.
Illustrator Ben Kimberly Prins was six years into his career as a freelancer when he did the Barret ad above. He had previously been an art director at BBDO, after an extensive education at Pratt, The Art Student's League and The Grand Central School of Art. Among his teachers were George Bridgman and Dean Cornwell. The Barret ad looks to be heavily referenced from photography and is really well done, but this other piece by Prins, reminding me a bit of the style of children's book illustrator and author Robert McCloskey, captures the character of small town American archetypes more effectively.
A member of The Society of Illustrators and The Art Director's Club, Prins enjoyed a long career illustrating covers and features as well as advertising for many major magazines.

Saer Sene has scored two goals this season (vs. LA on June 2 and vs. San Jose on July 6), both of which have been game-winners … Sene opened the scoring in a 5-0 victory over LA Galaxy on June 2 … the left-footed midfielder also beat San Jose goalkeeper John Busch in the 13th minute on Saturday in the Revs' 2-0 win … Sene's goal against LA was his first since suffering a season-ending knee injury last August … in 12 appearances this year – including five starts – Sene has two goals and two assists.
Stifling defense loves the summer heat
The Revolution maintained their league-leading defense this past weekend, posting their MLS-best 10th shutout of the year in a 2-0 win over San Jose … the Revs' stifling defense has allowed a league-low 14 goals in 17 games, has an MLS-best 0.82 goals against average and a league-best 77.8 save percentage.
Goncalves getting the love
As media pundits have provided their mid-season marks this week, one defender has stood out to many: Jose Goncalves … Goncalves, in his first season with the Revs and already donning the captain's armband, has been recognized as both ESPNFC.com and Soccer by Ives's midseason defender of the year … by backing the Revs' league-leading defense and providing a veteran presence to the Revs' relatively young back line, Goncalves has drawn notice for the affect he's had on New England's defense.
Shutouts stacking up for Shuttleworth
Bobby Shuttleworth recorded his eighth shutout of the season – and the 12th of his career – against San Jose on Saturday … Shuttleworth is now tied for first in MLS with Portland's Donovan Ricketts for most shutouts in MLS … Shuttleworth has recorded his eight shutouts in 15 games while Ricketts has been in goal for 17 … in other goalkeeping categories, Shuttleworth is tied for first in goals allowed (14), third in goals against (0.93) and second in save percentage (76.2%).
Barrett back in starting lineup
On Saturday night against San Jose, Chad Barrett earned his first start since the Revs' home opener on March 23 against Sporting Kansas City … Barrett has scored two goals and added one assist this season in seven appearances totaling just 178 minutes … in his last appearance before Saturday, the forward came on as a late second-half substitute against Chivas USA on June 29 and scored the equalizer in the 88th minute.
Rowe racking up assists
Kelyn Rowe recorded his sixth assist of the season on Saturday in the Revs' 2-0 win … the second-year midfielder nutmegged Earthquakes defender Dan Gargan and placed a ball directly on to the foot of a streaking Lee Nguyen, who then found Dimitry Imbongo in front of goal, where he beat Jon Busch … Rowe's sixth assist established a new single-season best after he recorded five assists as a rookie … Rowe's sixth assists are the third most in MLS and he enters the week tied for fourth in assists in the league.
Halfway home
Saturday's 2-0 win over San Jose marked the midway point in the 2013 season for the Revolution … the Revs have played 17 games and compiled a 6-5-6 record overall for 24 points and a sixth-place standing in the Eastern Conference …

What we do from here matters
While the Revs are in a slightly similar place record, points and standing wise as the 2012 team, the 2013 season will hopefully take a different turn after the half-way mark this year … in 2012, the Revs went a club-record 10 games winless (0-7-3) immediately after the halfway mark to drop from sixth place in the East standings to ninth place, gaining only three points between July 14 and Sept. 1 … this season, with a league-leading defense, the Revs hope to avoid the summer struggles of the 2012 squad.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
The Arabian Oryx (Oryx leucoryx) is the only native oryx species outside Africa. It is one of two oryx species that went extinct in the wild (the other being the Scimitar-horned Oryx, Oryx dammah). Both sexes have long, slender horns pointed upward and slightly back that are narrower at the base than those of other oryx species. Although this species was extinct in the wild by 1972, since then free-ranging populations have been established in Israel, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. Arabian Oryx were formerly present throughout the Arabian Peninsula, extending north to Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Iraq, Syria, and Sinai. Poaching and overhunting in Oman eliminated the last wild individuals. Fortunately, captive breeding efforts had begun in the 1950s and reintroduction efforts began in the early 1980s and are ongoing. The world captive population is around 6,000 to 7,000, but the re-introduced free-ranging populations include only around 250 mature individuals.

text: I went to the store today looking at phones. There were 3 that I was looking at primarily (Droid Razr Maxx, Droid 4, Galaxy Nexus). After having a chance to try each of them, the Droid Razr Maxx just stood out way above the others. I'm planning to get it soon, but I have some questions first. (I apologize if these have been asked and answered many times before, but if they have, please point me in the right place if it's been discussed at length.) - Is it worth the extra money between the Razr and Razr Maxx? The only additional thing is the battery, is the extra battery life worth another $50 to $100 (depending on where I buy it)? - With a non-removable battery included, have there been problems restarting the phone if it freezes? Does it comes with a reliable way to restart the phone in these circumstances? - How sturdy is the phone? How scratch-resistant is the screen and sides? Have there been any problems with phones breaking from incidents that most phones could survive? - How is the camera? Are there any problems trying to take pictures with it in a normal, non-store environment? - How is the sound quality for listening to music? - Did you notice anything after purchase that wouldn't be noticed when looking at the phone in the store? - Are there any features not included that you wish would have been? - Would you recommend that a screen protector & case should be used with the phone? (Note: I don't care too much about thickening the phone up.) - Are there any good deals available now to get the phone at a reduced price? I'm sorry for all of the questions, but I'm trying to cover as much as I can. Any answers for any (or all) of these questions would help me out. Thank you.

Groningen defender Virgil van Dijk has revealed that Everton are interesting in signing him.
The 21-year-old has been identified as a possible replacement for fellow countryman John Heitinga, whose agent has admitted could leave Goodison Park, and Sylvain Distin, who is being targeted by QPR boss Harry Redknapp.
"I'm aware of the interest of a few clubs and Everton is one of them," Van Dijk told Voetbal International.
"I hear and read a lot. Soon I have dinner with my agent Henk-Maarten Chin. He will tell me how things are going. I enjoy the interest, but if I leave it must be a good decision when I leave."
The Netherlands Under-21 international had made 43 appearances in the Eredivisie since his debut in 2011 and has scored five times.
Despite the player's claims, Groningen director, Hans Nijland, does not believe the young defender will be leaving the club any time soon, as no official approach has been made.
"I don't expect Virgil will leave. There's not a single club that officially reported so we don't feel like talk about this for too long," he added.

Bavarian Storybook Dirndl German dress
Added Sep 13, 2013
Cleveland, Ohio,...
Made with the 7057 Dirndl Folklore Burda pattern. This is my dirndl I made for our Summer Oktoberfest. Using a Burda pattern, I was able to make this German Dress. I added a few extra details and adjusted the pattern to fit me. I also used a pleated skirt instead of a gathered skirt so there was not a lot of bulk for the waist. I used my own pattern for the apron.
Material Notes
This dress is made with all quality quilt cotton fabrics and satin for the apron and piping.

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York City medical examiner's office confirmed Friday that it is reviewing hundreds of rape cases for possible errors in DNA analysis.
Officials said it appears so far that the testing in the vast majority of the cases was valid. But in one instance, the review uncovered evidence that resulted in an indictment last year accusing a man of raping a minor more than a decade ago in Brooklyn.
Local politicians responded to news of the mishandled sex crimes evidence, first reported in The New York Times, by saying it suggests more victims may have been denied justice. The City Council announced it would hold an oversight hearing later this month.
"We cannot allow these women to wonder if their attacker remains free or to go one more day without knowing justice was served in their case," City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said in a statement.
The review began after the medical examiner's office discovered errors by an unidentified laboratory technician, who was hired in 2001 and resigned in 2011, office spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said.
During a training session before her resignation, supervisors learned that her "work wasn't up to the standards we expect," Borakove said.
The medical examiner's office determined that the technician had handled evidence in more than 800 sexual assault cases during her nine-year tenure. The review, which is more than half-way completed, so far has found that she failed to detect existing biological evidence in at least two dozen instances.
While the review recreates the possibility of new charges being brought in old cases, the offices of Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes and Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. said Friday that there was no indication the faulty work resulted in convictions of innocent people.
No cases "were affected by the errors of this employee," said Vance spokeswoman Erin Duggan.
Duggan said that "as a measure of transparency," prosecutors alerted defense attorneys involved in cases where the employee had contact with forensic kits.
"The retesting of these false negatives did produce a few new samples of DNA. However, to date no offenders have been identified," Duggan said.
In seven of the cases under scrutiny, new DNA profiles were developed. One new profile matched a convicted offender's sample, leading to the indictment in the pending Brooklyn rape case. In two other instances, the new DNA evidence was linked to people already convicted or under suspicion.
The medical examiner's office employs 48 technicians who do preliminary processing of evidence to determine if a suspect left behind saliva, semen or blood. The workers are responsible for placing swabs from victim's bodies into test tubes, and for examining underwear and other clothing for signs of stains that should be tested for DNA.
In some instances, the technician in question reported she found no potential DNA evidence on clothing, according to a summary of the review. Re-examinations by other analysts found stains that tested positive for blood and semen.

The Arduino Due supports analogWrite() on pins 2 through 13, plus pins DAC0 and DAC1. Unlike the PWM pins, DAC0 and DAC1 are Digital to Analog converters, and act as true analog outputs.
DAC1 and DAC2 These pins provides true analog outputs with 12-bits resolution (4096 levels) with the analogWrite() function. These pins can be used to create an audio output using the Audio library.
dacc_write_conversion_data(DACC_INTERFACE, value);
Hi,I also wonder how to write to the second DAC and I agree that it is incredibly difficult to find anything about it.However, for me the reason is not that I have blown out my first DAC, but I want to experiment addressing both DACs at the same time. Like for true stereo output for example. Unfortunately that means that mcleung's method won't help.Does anyone have an idea on how to directly address the individual DACs using dacc_write_conversion_data? Or is there any other way without using slow analogWrite()?Thanks a lot,dodgerts

Jet Blue meltdown: What causes a person to suddenly lose it?
What causes a seemingly healthy person to suddenly lose it?
It's a question likely on many minds in light of a series of recent episodes, such as when a JetBlue pilot had to be subdued Tuesday by passengers after behaving erratically during a flight.
We don't know exactly what caused the pilot's disruptive actions, or why the co-founder of a group behind the "Kony 2012″ viral video had a public meltdown, or why an American Airlines flight attendant began speaking erratically on a taxiing flight's intercom.
There's a long list of medical and psychiatric conditions that can trigger a psychotic episode, when a person seems to lose touch with reality. Among the possibilities: a brain tumor, head injury, thyroid condition, fever, infection, recreational drug use or a prescription-drug reaction. Several causes can lie behind incidences of what used to be called a nervous breakdown, too, as WSJ reported last month.
Agitated and delusional behavior can also accompany several mental disorders. People with bipolar disorder and major depression can have psychotic symptoms, especially when under major stress, Dr. David Hellerstein, a professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University, told the Wall Street Journal 'Health Blog'.
There are usually warning signs, however, even if they are only noticed after the fact. "When people present in a kind of rapid onset of a psychotic state that hasn't been noticed before and that seems to come out of the blue, in retrospect there is usually some clinical prodrome," or early symptom, Hellerstein said.
T. Byram Karasu, chief psychiatrist at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, N.Y., said excessive stimuli, especially sounds and lights, can trigger psychotic symptoms in people with underlying psychological issues. Age also plays a factor in diagnosis: A young adult who has a psychotic episode might be developing schizophrenia. In an elderly person, it could indicate dementia, Hellerstein said.
Then there is "brief psychotic disorder," an illness that is defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), the handbook of psychiatric diagnoses, as lasting at least a day but less than a month.
Symptoms include hallucinations and disorganized speech. "I've seen people who have a brief psychotic reaction in response to some major stress and then it would resolve," Hellerstein said. "Probably given enough stress, anybody could have that."
