On Monday, July 12, physician and Harvard professor, Donald Berwick, M.D., was sworn in to become the next administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
President Obama appointed Dr. Berwick as Administrator of CMS, via a recess confirmation last week. Because this is a recess confirmation, Dr. Berwick bypassed Senate hearings and will only be allowed to serve in this capacity through December 31, 2011.

Investigators are trying to find an Arizona teenager whose car was abandoned in southwest Oregon. He was headed back to Arizona after a trip to Washington, to start his first day of college this week. But he never made it.
Douglas County sheriff's spokesman Dwes Hutson says the sport utility vehicle driven by 18-year-old Johnathan Croom was found Wednesday in the small town of Riddle, not far from Interstate 5.
Monica Croom said Friday that her son was traveling alone on his way back from Seattle where he had visited a female friend.
She says he left Arizona on July 30 and was due to begin classes this past Monday at Mesa Community College.
Croom says her son is "super smart" and has Boy Scout experience. She
says his car didn't break down, wasn't out of gas and was unlocked with
money inside.
David Croom, Johnathan's dad, traveled to Oregon after his son disappeared. He says it's an odd place to pull off the road.
A friend told David that Johnathan may have planned this.
"She said 'he had left to go on an adventure and I haven't been able to get ahold of him for two days,'" says Croom.
His father says Johnathan was intrigued by the movie "Into the Wild." It's about a young man who ventures out into the wilderness alone.
"He was talking to another friend that it would be great to just leave penniless and just work along the way and get resources like they did in the movie."
But the young man's family is worried he is not prepared to spend time in the wilderness.
"As far as we know he left in shorts and a T-shirt and a backpack with some socks in it and he left the car and that's all we know."
For now, his father is staying in Oregon, putting up missing posters around town, hoping someone somewhere will spot Johnathan, who could be in trouble.
"I'm just trying to stay busy and proactive and asking a lot of people to pray -- that's my way of coping," says David Croom.
The sheriff's spokesman says Croom's SUV wasn't vandalized and officers have searched the general area.

Deputies said two Spartanburg brothers are accused of storming a woman's home and robbing her at gunpoint Sunday evening.
Spartanburg County deputies said the victim called 911 from her neighbor's home about 7 p.m. after the men fled from her Schirra Court home.
The woman told deputies she heard a knock at her door and when she opened it, one man shoved a gun in and the suspects forced their way inside.
The men pushed the woman into her home at gunpoint and one said "give it up" and "where's the money," according to the deputy's report.
One of the men forced the woman onto her knees, put the gun to her head and demanded to know where her money was and she told him she only had $5 in her purse, according to deputies.
The men grabbed her purse and cell phone and took off running, deputies said. The victim told investigators she was not sure if they left in a car so they tried searching for the men.
Deputies said they were able to identify the suspects as brothers 23-year-old Elvin and 20-year-old Tevin Humphries.
Deputies went to the Humphries' home and took statements. They said when they searched the home and car, they found items belonging to the victim. The Humphries were both charged with first-degree burglary, kidnapping and armed robbery.

Gross job gains and losses in the fourth quarter of 2011
August 03, 2012
From September to December 2011, gross job gains from opening and expanding private sector establishments totaled 6.9 million, a decrease of 204,000 from the previous 3-month period. The number of gross job losses from closing and contracting private sector establishments in the fourth quarter of 2011 was 6.5 million, an increase of 181,000 from the previous quarter.
The difference between the number of gross job gains and the number of gross job losses yielded a net employment change of 368,000 jobs in the private sector during the fourth quarter of 2011. Gross job gains represented 6.3 percent of private sector employment, while gross job losses represented 6.0 percent of private sector employment.
Gross job gains at expanding establishments totaled 5.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, a decrease of 203,000 from the previous quarter. Gross job losses at contracting establishments equaled 5.2 million, an increase of 52,000 from third quarter 2011.
These data are from the Business Employment Dynamics (BED) program. The change in the number of jobs over time is the net result of increases and decreases in employment that occur at all businesses in the economy. BED statistics track these changes in employment at private business units from the third month of one quarter to the third month of the next.

Law Enforcement Agencies Partner To Promote Designated Driver Campaign
Program urges people to 'Be a 'HERO, be a designated driver'
Date of News Release: 02/21/2013
Louisville Metro Police Dept. (LMPD) Chief Steve Conrad (left) and Kentucky State Police (KSP) Commissioner Rodney Brewer (right) display a new HERO bumper sticker that represents a partnership between the agencies designed to save lives by promoting the use of designated drivers. The sticker will appear on 900 LMPD vehicles and 1,600 KSP vehicles. The HERO Campaign's mission is to end drunk-driving fatalities, injuries and accidents nationwide by promoting designated driving and reminding the public to drive sober. It was established by the family of U.S. Navy Ensign John Elliott of Atlantic County, N.J., who was killed in 2000 in a head-on collision with a drunken driver. The campaign works in cooperation with schools, businesses, law enforcement agencies and other community-based organizations to promote the use of safe and sober designated drivers to prevent drunken driving tragedies. Businesses, including bars, taverns and restaurants, are invited to display posters and window decals identifying the locations as HERO sites and are asked to serve free soft drinks to sober designated drivers. Law enforcement agencies can participate by displaying HERO Campaign decals on their cars and schools are being encouraged to start HERO Campaign chapters and integrate the campaign into their DUI prevention and educational programs.

Department of Education hires experts to produce and maintain public domain textbooks - potentially saving billions in education per year
The textbook industry is a $30 billion a year industry.
If the department of education simply hired subject matter experts, over the course of a year, their combined efforts should easily be able to produce quality textbooks. They could also act as managing editors and receive contributions from educators all around the world as a means of updating and improving content quality.
The books would be free to use, download, copy, print, or even edit and modify as each state and school district sees fit. As just one idea of how it could work, They could use low cost tablets that are loaned to students. Another way might be to have the Dept of Education print them up and distribute them at cost to the schools. The possibilities are endless.
If they produced 100 of the most common textbooks used, with 3 subject matter experts per book each earning $100K a year, the cost to produce and maintain up to date, free text books would be only $30 million a year. If we include a pool of graphic artists, photographers, writers, editors and management, we are looking at maybe $40 million per year. Almost 1000 times less than buying commercially produced textbooks..

Beware of the enemy within
When they were campaign- ing for public office, members of Congress promised to represent us, not themselves. So now they're where they wanted to be, but they are only going to represent themselves and their political contributors.
We have troops fighting in other countries against terrorists in foreign lands when they should be fighting the terrorists in Washington, D.C.
I gave six years of my life to this country in the Army, and the most important part of my oath was to defend this country from all enemies foreign and domestic. Well it seems like the biggest terrorists to this country are sitting in Washington. They are doing what other foreign countries have not been able to do. They are destroying us from the inside. They sit up in Washington trying to figure out how to shortchange the people and protect their contributors. If they want to balance the budget, they should quit funding other countries with our tax dollars.
Why are we supporting over a hundred countries with our money? The American people should really try to find true Americans to sit in Washington instead of these foreigners.
Bruce Funton, Southington
"The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything." - Albert Einstein
All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent - Thomas Jefferson
EV, I have found that the biggest problem with most voters is that they have never looked at the federal budget. They don't understand how much money SS, medicare, medicaid, defense and interest on the debt costs. The slice of pie left over for everything else is tiny.
The majority of the uninformed voters do NOT even realize that ALL Americans will have their taxes raised eff 1/1/13. They actually believed Obama when he said that NO middle class income earner would have increased taxes. Social Security taxes will increase 2% for all Americans. These same uniformed voters will see their insurance premiums increase becaue of the upcoming Obamacare provisions. This is just the beginning. The DEMS asked for this and they are NOW getting what they deserve.

Rated 4 out of 5 by amckbeauty96 from Great for highlight! I intended to use this as an all over powder brush because I don't really like kabuki brushes that much. However, when I received this brush in the mail, it was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. So instead of using it for face powder to set, I LOVE using it to highlight my cheekbones due to its size.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LeximarieX from PERFECTION! I've recently been stocking up on all the studio brushes I could find, and after the first one, I had to have more. the thing I love the most has to be that the hairs are SUPER soft. I bought this for blush, and it works perfectly! It's held up through several washes, which is when my brushes start to shed. but none of these have!?

Rated 5 out of 5 by dinap91 from perfect for all kinds of powders and creams I love love this brush. I use it for contouring and apply powder above my under eye concealer. at beginning I thought that it was a too small for the whole face, but I end up finding it perfect to apply foundation as ?a buff brush. love love love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by elflily from One of my favorites I've never bought a bad e.l.f. brush. ?They don't shed, they wash well and they have nice texture. ?This one is probably the one that I use the most, works great with e.l.f.'s mineral make-up (and other brands, too.)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Butterfliesandgardens from Highly Underrated This is a phenomenal brush. ?It is the perfect size for swirling blushes and loose powders on your cheeks, fitting perfectly in the mineral booster containers and loose blush containers sold here on elf. ?Fits perfectly on the apples of my cheeks and disperses just the right amount of blush on my cheeks, blending beautifully because of the tapering. ?It's not too big, not too small. ?I feel I am getting precision with this (as a face brush), while still getting an amazing blending action through the easy circular motions I make on my face because the brush is circular. ?The tapering of the brush and the thickness also pick up the perfect amount of loose powder (of course you will want to tap afterward because loose powder's nature is to clump together). ?I do not have many duplicate brushes, but I bought a second one of these. ?I am so pleased, it was absolutely worth three dollars.

- A Public Official's Guide to Fair Housing (PDF) (Authored by the William Wayne Justice Center for Public Interest Law, University of Texas School of Law, on behalf of the Texas Supportive Housing Coalition)
- Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan - Single Family (PDF at HUD.gov)
Contract Administrators
TDHCA relies on Contract Administrators to ensure compliance with the Fair Housing Act. Contract Administrators include city, county, and local governments, not-for-profit organizations, and for-profit entities. These groups access a variety of funding sources through TDHCA, including the HOME Investment Partnerships Program.
HOME Program Guidance
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD.gov) put together several resources related to non-discrimination and equal access requirements that are useful for all Contract Administrators, particularly HOME Contract Administrators.
In addition to these resources, TDHCA recently completed the 2010 Phase 1 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice in Texas. The Phase 1 AI covers a 62-county area of Texas, primarily along the gulf coast and in the Rio Grande valley, and can help communities understand some of the impediments to fair housing choice that may be found in their jurisdictions.
Zoning and Land Use
Contract Administrators that are governmental entities and have the ability to make zoning, land use decisions, and land use policies, should be mindful of how those decisions may impact fair housing choice, whether intentional or not. These types of decisions have the potential to impact protected persons, including individuals with disabilities, in a way that may be discriminatory.
Under the Fair Housing Act, it is not necessary to prove that governmental entities intended to discriminate against minorities in denying a specific housing project or otherwise making a land use decision. For example, fair housing issues may be raised in cases where ordinances, permitting, or land use policies restrict the abilities of persons or groups of persons with disabilities to have an equal opportunity to use and enjoy housing.
Governmental entities must also make reasonable accommodations in land use and zoning policies. What constitutes a reasonable accommodation is a case-by-case determination. Not all requests to alter rules or policies are reasonable, particularly if they impose an undue financial or administrative burden on a local government, or if it would create a fundamental alteration in a local government's land use and zoning scheme.

Some residents of the town of Roseland say they've been sending up 'smoke signals' for years. They wanted help getting rid of Town Council President Dorothy Snyder, and in 2007 that help is coming from a man who defeated her in the November election.
"We're going to take control of the town and give it back to the town," says Ted Penn.
Penn and his supporters gathered to set fire to signs that were once a source of struggle between town's government and town's people. "I believe I had the first 'support our troops' sign in town and within 24 hours I had a ticket saying they would fine me $50 a day each and every day until that sign came down," recalls Sam McCombs.
Residents not only fought the no-signs ordinance in federal court, they posted more signs criticizing Dorothy Snyder and her husband, David, for violating freedom of speech rights.
Together the Snyders made up two-thirds of the Roseland Town Board. During that time controversy erupted as residents were thrown out of town meetings and even arrested for disturbing the proceedings. "It's going to change because the Snyders will not be doing things for their own personal gain," says Michael Schalk. "The government is going to be coming back like it should be for the people and by the people.
The burning of signs may be symbolic of the end to Dorothy Snyder's political era, but residents of Roseland say they anticipate she'll continue to spark controversy in town from time to time.
"We have ordinances on file that she and her husband passed for unorderly people. The first person that's probably going to face that is her or her husband and will probably be taken out and arrested, but that remains to be seen," Penn predicts. "If they're nice they'll be treated like anybody else."
Dorothy Snyder would not comment about the end to her council term or the bonfire that celebrated it. Roseland residents say they'd like to see the controversy that's surrounded this town for years "go up in smoke".

Preparations are well under way already for the 7th Bernard Loiseau Culinary Festival, due to take place in March next year.
Bruno Le Gac, our Corporate Executive Chef, gives us an insight into the organisation behind what's become the most prestigious culinary event in the Indian Ocean.
On the last day of the Festival Culinaire, we've already started thinking ahead to next year's event…
The festival has been extremely successful since it began in 2005. Every year, we work harder than ever to make the next edition even more memorable than the last.
What's new for 2012?
In 2012, guests will be more involved in the competition, so they really feel the excitement of the competing teams. They'll feel the anticipation and suspense 'live', like on the competitive cookery shows on TV.
Planning next year's festival
At the end of each festival, we have a debrief with the organisation team to discuss which parts of the program to keep, what needs to be adjusted and what innovations we should introduce to the next festival. From this discussion, we begin to write the programme of events.
The internal organisation in the hotel is a huge task. Chef Dominique Grel and his team have become experts at this. But it's always a lot of work and requires great dedication.
Choosing who takes part
Then we have to think about who's going to take part.
The European chefs
It's a difficult alchemy to pull off because the professionals that we invite need to connect and share something special together. It's all about harmony.
Being a food-lover, I like to describe the sense of competition as being akin to chilli. A touch of it is nice to bring a bit of zing, but too much is overpowering and counter-productive…
There's now a large family of chefs all over Europe who have become friends through the event, and who meet up regularly.
The judges
The choice of the jury members is also extremely important. They must be well respected professionals who can all get along well, even if they have different backgrounds and ideas about what makes a great dish.
The island chefs
Last but not least, we need to select the candidates from our hotels. For the first time this year, we'll have participants from 6 of our resorts. The process has already begun.
- First step is a questionnaire.
- Second is a practical task where the chefs have to create two classical recipes 'from the book'. No innovation required – it's all about technical ability and precision.
- Third and last step is a competition with two recipes to make. The 'basket' of ingredients is the same for all chefs, and they are free to prepare anything they want out of it. We want to see technique of course, but mainly we're looking for talent, creativity, taste and elegance.
The winners earn the right to represent their hotel, their colleagues and their country during the final event that takes place in Mauritius in March.
Let the show begin!

The Titanic in Popular Culture
The Titanic's influence on popular culture was immediate and enduring. Less than one month after the sinking, the tragedy was depicted in the 10-minute silent film Saved from the Titanic. It was soon followed by Filson Young's Titanic, reportedly the first book written about the disaster, and by musical works that commemorated the liner. Since 1912 the Titanic has been a cultural icon, inspiring popular films, books, television and stage productions, and songs.

Ferry Corsten - Live from Club Avalon, New York (24-10-2004)
In the beginning there was Jack. And Jack had a groove. And from this groove came the groove of all grooves. And while one day viciously throwing down on his box Jack boldly declared "Let there be house!" And house music was born. I am the creator and this is my house and in my house there is only house music. But I am not so selfish because once you enter my house it then becomes our house and our house music and you see no one man owns house because house music is a universal language spoke and understood by all. You see, house is a feeling that no one can understand really unless you're deep into the vibe of house. House is an uncontrollable desire to jack your body and as I told you before this is our house and our house music. In every house you understand, there is a keeper and in this house the keeper is Jack.

I am willing to bet this has been the longest week of Mike Bacsik's life.
MySA.com, Dallas Morning News, AllAccess.com, and about a dozen others have all given me the credit for breaking the whole Mike Bacsik story. I received over 26,000 hits on my blog and have learned quite a bit from the whole ordeal. The power of the media is unstoppable and the huge popularity of this story is proof positive. Needless to say just about everyone has heard about the tweet from Mr. Bacsik that read "Congrats to all the dirty Mexicans of San Antonio"
At first, I admit I wanted this guys head on a pole. I was not the only one who was in the midst of writing a story on it, I just happened to be the first. Over the course of the week I learned more about Mike Bacsik, The Dallas Ticket, and Cumulus Media.
Apparently, there had been an ongoing radio bit on the Dallas Ticket that made a constant reference to "Dirty Mexicans". When I learned of this my jaw dropped. How can a station in one of the largest radio markets in the country have this kind of racist crap spew out of their frequency and be okay with it? How can the Hispanic community in Dallas whom had all heard the bit time and time again just allow this to happen without saying or doing anything?
Having said that it was later learned that Mike Bacsik was making a reference to the radio bit when he made the infamous tweet about "Dirty Mexicans". While some of the Dallas Ticket fans would claim this was all blown out of proportion, people who were directed in such hate did not see it that way. I am also one who thinks that this was something NOT blown outta proportion.
The man was in a position of being a very well known public figure. His dad was a pro baseball player, he was as well, he is forever linked to Barry Bonds, and also he was apart of the Dallas radio market by being affiliated with KTCK. Face it, if this guy had worked at a gas station no one would have cared. But since he is who he is, it MADE it a VERY big deal. Even if he had never been a pro baseball player, the fact that he was working for the Dallas Ticket was reason enough.
If Mr. Bacsik would have explained his tweet in the first place as referencing a radio bit would he have had such a fallout? Who knows? But in my opinion he was made an example of. He became a fall guy. I learned more and more from people who listen to the Dallas Ticket that way more indirect racism and much more harsh racist content was said on the air on the Cumulus Media owned station on a regular basis. It was because of the attention Mike Bacsik received, and his lack of a contract, he was fired after having been indefinitely suspended the day prior.
I have heard from colleagues in the Dallas market that Cumulus Media addressed this with their on air staff since the spotlight was shown upon them, Bacsik, and the station itself. I just find it insulting that it went on so long.
So how do I feel about it all? I do not regret anything. I do not feel bad for Bacsik either. That type of stuff (radio bit or not) has/had no business on the air, twitter, or anywhere. Period. The bottom line is that Cumulus terminated Bacsik and told their on air staff to cut down with the racist quirks just to cover their own backside. Today, you cannot find the "dirty Mexican" bit on the Dallas Ticket anymore. It is only fitting since they faced such criticism for everything that had happened. It took this whole situation for it to finally go away. However if it were to ever return, I urge everyone to boycott the station and to write a stern letter to the FCC complaining about it.
Now, it seems as if local San Antonio Ticket morning host Peter Burns has given Mike Bacsik an opportunity to come onto his radio show to address the people of San Antonio. He has agreed and it has been confirmed. So Tuesday morning Bacsik will be on the air with Peter Burns and Andy Everett to talk to the people of San Antonio. Tune into 760am or listen live on the web page ticket760.com
Make sure you listen. I feel that a backlash of racism towards Bacsik and hateful remarks are just as out of line as the initial tweet that started it all. We are much more classy here in San Antonio, so lets not turn it into anything hateful.
Just to clarify, I NEVER once had the agenda to exploit this story for attention. I saw the tweet and just started to write. Plain and simple.
I will also say that I will no longer be addressing anything regarding Bacsik from here on out. It is time for me to move on.

What is the 'age of consent'?
The age of consent is the age at which a young person is legally able to understand and agree to consensual sex. In most countries, until you reach this age it is illegal for somebody to have sex with you, however old they may be.
Sometimes the law about sex is slightly different when the partners are of a similar age, but there is usually still a minimum age below which sex is always illegal.
What is the legal age to have sex?
There is no international age of consent, and it also varies from country to country. Age of consent laws are usually complex and, in many countries, the legal age to consent to sex is different depending on certain conditions. These include, but are not limited to:
- Male or female
- Anal sex
- Vaginal sex
- Partner age difference
- A partner that represents a position of authority
- Existing state, territory and federal laws
- If partners are married or unmarried
Being aware of global variations in the age of consent is important to avoid breaking the law in countries that have laws different to your country of residence.
Follow the individual links below for information on the age of consent by country and any specific conditions that modify the age of consent.
Illegal sex
Although some young people may feel that they are mature enough to engage in a sexual relationship, others may lack the emotional development to deal with this or to feel confident enough to say 'no'. Age of consent laws are there to protect young people from being sexually exploited by adults.
Sex before the age of 15 years and among partners where there is a large age difference may increase the risk of HIV transmission. 1 2 Governments can, to some extent, reduce the risk of HIV infection among young people by ensuring the age of consent for sex, and also marriage, is not too low.
If you're a young person, and you want to find out more, read our page on teens, sex and the law. You might also like to have a look at our " Am I ready for sex?" page.
What are 'sugar daddies' and 'sugar mummies'?
Sugar daddies and sugar mummies are much older than their partners, providing them with money and gifts in exchange for company and sexual favours. Young men and women often leave education early, with the belief that their needs will be met by their older partner.
In countries where HIV prevalence is high, sex with a sugar daddy or sugar mummy contributes to new HIV infections amongst young people.
You should always use a condom when having sex. Although it can be difficult to insist on using a condom, especially if your partner gives you money and gifts, you risk becoming infected with HIV and other STIs if condoms are not used all the time.
Some people have long and happy relationships when there is a large age difference between them. The law is just there to protect the younger person if they are under the age of sexual consent.
What counts as 'sex'?
This, too, is different, depending on the laws in the place where you live. Some places count things like kissing as sexual contact, and other places only count sexual intercourse. You should check out the laws in your state or country.
What is statutory rape?
Statutory rape is the crime that someone can be charged with if they have sex with a person who has not reached the age of consent, but who agrees to have sex. Some countries have different names for this. Some states in the US for example call it 'unlawful sexual penetration' or just 'rape'.
What is sexual abuse?
Sexual abuse is the term for an adult using their age or authority over a young person to have any type of sexual contact. There is a difference between this and two young people who are in a consenting relationship. If you are a young person involved in an abusive relationship it is important to talk to someone about this.
If you are worried because you know of a young person who you think is in an abusive sexual relationship, you must think carefully about what would be the right thing to do. Telephone helplines and sources of help in your country will be able to advise you.

Coerced Into Kidnapping?
Was Nancy Garrido a willing participant in the kidnapping, imprisonment, and rape of Jaycee Dugard?
Dr. Michelle Golland, a licensed clinical psychologist, says Nancy Garrido's actions are more common than most of us would like to believe. Nancy herself was probably sexually abused as a child, explains Dr. Golland, and her relationship with her husband and their control over Jaycee Dugard let her "identify herself as the aggressor. She herself is in control as she reenacts the crimes that she endured as a child." There's also the possibility, says Golland, that Nancy was unable to have children of her own. According to reports, Phillip Garrido has claimed that his two daughters by Jaycee slept inside the main house. This would create a severely disturbed "nuclear family," with Nancy as "mother," all the while still being able to act out her sadistic fantasies with her husband.
How Phillip and Nancy met is yet another telling piece of the puzzle. Phillip Garrido, serving a 50-year sentence in a Leavenworth prison for rape and kidnapping, begins a relationship with Nancy, who was at the prison visiting a relative. "She knew his crimes. She was a pretty disturbed personality herself," says Dr. Golland.
When it comes to criminal behavior, women are not immune. A 2007 report by the Center for Sex Offender Management says that one half of sex offender therapy programs provide services to females. Approximately 3,800 adult women and 2,700 adolescent girl offenders were receiving sex offender therapy services in 2007 -- a number that's nearly doubled in two years.
"We have to understand that abuse is not relegated to males," says Dr. Golland, "that these things develop in a woman as much as in men. Only then can we give victims the support they need to report the trauma and seek help in their healing."
Characteristics of female sex offenders:
- They are women between the ages of 22-33 years of age.
- They have experienced sexual abuse as children or teens, and can have victimization histories at twice the rate of men who sexually offend.
- They have a history of alcohol and/or drug abuse.
- The majority are not mentally ill, but may experience depression or personality disorders.
- A majority are employed in professional jobs.
- They have difficulties in intimate relationships, or an absence of intimate relationships.
Victims of female sex offenders:
- A high percentage of victims are in the family, or the perpetrator is close to the victim -- friend, teacher, coach, sitter, or clergy.
- Victims are both boys and girls -- with a slightly higher number of girls.
- Younger children, under the age of 12, are more often victims of women over the age of 30.
- Children between the ages of 13-17 are often the victims of women who are between the ages of 18 to 25 years of age.
- Women do not tend to show a "victim age preference" in the same manner that male sex offenders do.
Categories of female sex offenders:
- Teacher/Lover: At the time of their offending, these women are often struggling with peer relationships. They perceive themselves as having romantic or sexually mentoring "relationships" with underaged adolescent victims of their sexual preference, and therefore, do not consider what they are doing to be wrong or criminal in nature.
- Predisposed: Histories of incestuous sexual victimization, psychological difficulties, and deviant sexual fantasies are common among these women, who generally act alone in their offending. They tend to victimize their own children or other young children within their families or those they have close access to.
- Male-Coerced: These women tend to be passive and dependent individuals with histories of sexual abuse and relationship difficulties. Fearing abandonment, they are pressured by male partners to commit sex offenses, often against their own children.
Dr. Golland is a USC graduate and a licensed Clinical Psychologist (PSY#16974). She works with adults, teens and is an expert in the field of marriage and relationships. Dr. Golland has given her expert advice on CNN, HLN, MSNBC, ABC, and Fox News. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two wonderfully exhausting children.
After all the years that poor girl was in captivity, Nancy Garrido could have found an opportunity to tell someone…found it in her shrivelled pathetic corrupt heart to tell someone…and she chose not to. She made a choice and is as guilty as her partner in crime. She made a choice to continue a cycle of abuse…she should not be spared punishment. I don't feel sorry for her at all.
To add to what Gail Cooke said - she helped kidnap Jaycee too. She was in it from day one, and I don't care what the reason behind it was. No sympathy from this camp.
Frankly Im tired of trying to figure out why sick people do what they do. She ruined the lifes of Jaycee, her family and also her children. Do we really need to dig in her past and try to figure out what went wrong? She is a selfish sadistic criminal. I wish this were a death penalty case but sadly too many people sit around and try to figure out why somebody hurts a child instead of executing them and being done with it.
Good call, Samantha. If something horrible happened to Nancy Garrido as a child or in her marriage, then I feel bad for her for that. But it doesn't excuse what she did to Jaycee, at any point. Even if she'd come forward at some point - ANY point - before now and confessed, there may have been some redemption, some sign of her realizing what a horrible thing she was putting Jaycee through and deciding to end it. But that moment never came, and I think she's just as guilty as he is.
Saying that it's easy to want to believe that Nancy Garrido was also held captive by her husband and forced to participate in his disturbed sexual behavior, and posing the question, âHow could a woman willingly participate in the rape of a child?â is âin and of itself- a serious hindrance for victims and survivors of child sexual abuse.
Thank God that Dr. Michelle Golland, has publicly stated that women like Nancy Garrido are more common than most want to believe, and thank you for posting the statistics on female sex offenders. Women can and do sexually abuse children, even their own sons and daughters. Women are very capable of evil and sometimes willingly torture, kidnap, and rape children.
I do not care what happened to her, I do not care why she is like this or what made her do this. She is an adult, she knew right from wrong and she CHOSE to be this sick & twisted scumbag. Therefore she should die, along with him! They are of no use to society. There is no rehabbing them and taxpayers should not be forced to waste their hard earned money on 3 squares a day and a roof over their heads! Do the trial if you must, convict them and KILL THEM THAT DAY! Enough is enough! the gene pool in this country needs some serious chlorine! Stop making excuses for sick bastards, catch them and kill them! The rule should be "violate someones rights, lose yours! If you molest, abuse, rape or murder you die end of story!" I bet that would be a great deterrent!!
People have to stop blindly trusting women. They can be just as sick. This woman is just as guilty as he is. The true miscarriage of justice was that he was out of prison after raping that poor girl in the 70s! They deserve the death penalty.

text: A Frais Thought: Astigmatism -is an optical defect in which vision is blurred due to the inability of the optics of the eye to focus a point object into a sharp focused image on the retina. This may be due to an irregular or toric curvature of the cornea or lens. I have not been dealing with this issue for about a year and a half. Glasses to me have evolved beyond the conventional use. They have opened the door and bridged the gap between people that see clearly and people that have issues like the one stated above. It has created a new type of fashion that brings us all together, without having to have something "wrong". Which is why i support the cause, and feed my endless obsession with clear frame lenses to make a statement that glasses are the perfect touch to a face. So stop asking if there real or fake…because they are REAL…ly…stylish. Se Frais! youarewrongandhereiswhy likes thisvit-sol likes thisfraisculture posted this
