From Lynch-Mobs to Dog-Whistles: Color-Blind Racism in the Obama Era; Sociologist Eduardo Bonilla-Silva on the October 22nd 'Left of Black'
In an era that some tried to define as "Post-Race," many commentators have been quick to point out the "dog-whistle" racism that has become a feature of our national politics, particularly in relation to the re-election campaign of President Barack Obama. It is a state of politics that Duke University Sociologist Eduardo Bonilla-Silva recognized nearly a decade ago in his ground breaking study (now in it's third edition) Racism without Racists: Color-Blind Racism and the Persistence of Racial Inequality in the United States. Bonilla-Silva cautions us though, that those dog-whistles—from Joe Wilson's "You Lie" outburst to President Obama's depiction as the "welfare President"—are part of an "old racism," that while important to address, often obscures the ways that the "new racism," a color-blind racism is impacting the lives of people of color
With his signature humor, Professor Bonilla-Silva, currently the Chair of the Sociology Department at Duke University, joins host and fellow Duke University colleague Mark Anthony Neal in the Left of Black studio in a wide ranging conversation about the Obama Presidency, the importance of the Black Left and the insidiousness of "color-blind" racism.

Small-bowel follow-through
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|Small bowel follow-through
The small intestine.
|87.63, 87.64,
|OPS-301 code
A small-bowel follow-through, also called small-bowel series, is a radiologic examination of the small intestine from the distal duodenum/duodenojejunal junction to the ileocecal valve.[1]
An X-ray examination of the most proximal small bowel (duodenum) is typically done together with an examination of the esophagus and stomach and is called an upper GI series.
- Patient drinks radio-opaque contrast, most often barium
- X-ray images of abdomen are made at timed intervals.
Pathology of the small bowel is uncommon. Therefore, upper GI and lower GI endoscopy is often done prior to small-bowel follow-through.
Categorically, the indications are:
- Negative upper endoscopy and negative lower endoscopy
- Investigation of a small bowel abnormality found on other medical imaging
Specific indications[edit]
- Suspected small-bowel neoplasm, e.g. small bowel cancer
- Hematochezia
- Positive fecal occult blood test
- Suspected small bowel obstruction that has been managed conservatively
- Inflammatory bowel disease (including Crohn's disease)

A person's right to counsel is protected if they assert this right in an arraignment hearing, even if the person waives this right in a police-initiated interrogation after such a hearing, West Virginia Supreme Court justices recently ruled.
The June 13 opinion, delivered by Chief Justice Brent Benjamin, addressed the Marshall County Circuit Court order in a sexual abuse case against William Bevel.
In this case, Bevel requested counsel to be appointed during his arraignment hearing but after this hearing, he signed a waiver of his right to counsel in a police interrogation.
He then proceeded to make incriminating statements to the police
The case created a new syllabus point, ruling that in this type of situation, the defendant would have the right to counsel.
"We now explicitly hold that if police initiate interrogation after a defendant asserts his right to counsel at an arraignment or similar proceeding, any waiver of the defendant's right to counsel for that police-initiated interrogation is invalid," the opinion states.
Two justices, Margaret Workman and Allen
Loughry, dissented from the majority's opinion. In his dissent, Loughry called
the majority's decision "a monumental step backward for West
Virginia's criminal jurisprudence."
"The tragic end result in this case is that Mr. Bevel's
voluntary confession to sexually molesting his 2-year-old stepdaughter will not
be admissible, and thus, cannot ever be used against him in any criminal
proceeding," Loughry's June 19 dissent states. "This is particularly troubling
in that it is highly unlikely that this child will be able to testify against
her parental abuser and this brutal and savage act will likely go unpunished."
The state Supreme Court opinion notes that the order is "devoid of factual findings;" so, background information was "gleaned from documents included in the appendix record" from the state.
The case dates back to 2008 when a 2-year-old child was placed in her grandmother's custody after an abuse and neglect proceeding was brought against Bevel's wife Carrie.
Later, the grandmother witnessed the child "acting out sexually." She contacted authorities, who interviewed the child.
The child said both Bevels had touched her in a sexual manner, the opinion states.
In 2010, Bevel appeared before a Marshall County magistrate, where he requested counsel. Later that day, police took Bevel into an interrogation room, where he waived his right to counsel.
During that interrogation, Bevel admitted to sexually abusing the child while his wife helped.
An indictment returned against him in July 2011 charged him with sexual abuse by a custodian parent or person of trust; incest; first degree sexual assault and displaying obscene matter to a minor.
Bevel filed a motion to suppress what he said to police officers in the interrogation and the court held an evidentiary hearing to address his statements.
The court later determined Bevel failed to reassert his right to counsel during the interrogation and denied his motion to suppress.
Bevel later entered a Kennedy plea to sexual abuse by parent, guardian, custodian or person in position of trust, while preserving a right to appeal the denial of the motion to suppress.
In a Kennedy plea, the person does not admit the act but admits the prosecution could prove the charge.
Bevel was sentenced to no less than 10 or more than 20 years in the West Virginia Penitentiary for Men. He then appealed his conviction and sentencing order.
West Virginia Supreme Court justices ruled the state court should have granted his motion to suppress, reversing his conviction and sentence and remanding the case for further proceedings.
In his dissent, Loughry said the majority was "severely
shortsighted" to diverge from the federal approach. He said the right to
counsel "no longer mirrors the rights accorded by the Sixth Amendment."
"Because the constitutional right to counsel itself is not
altered as the result of allowing police-initiated waivers of counsel from
being upheld, the majority's supposition is premised on a 'sky is falling'
mentality rather than the reasoned analysis typical of this court's opinions,"
his dissent states.
"Moreover, in stating that the right to counsel guaranteed by
our state constitution no longer mirrors the rights accorded by the Sixth
Amendment, the majority has processed down a path that is likely to create the
very uncertainty in the law that it sought to avoid."

Georgia plans to reprint some 14,000 football media guides — at a cost of about $50,000 — to remove references to ousted athletics director Damon Evans.
The Bulldogs' annual media guide, which is distributed to donors, recruits and the media, as well as sold to the general public, was printed shortly before Evans' June 30 DUI arrest and subsequent resignation.
"The timing made it a very unusual circumstance," Georgia associate athletics director Claude Felton told the AJC. "After discussions among Alan Thomas in the development office, [interim AD] Frank Crumley and myself, we felt like the best thing under the circumstances would be to do a partial reprint."
Approximately 21,000 media guides were in the original printing, Felton said. Although some have been distributed, mostly to media and recruits, the majority remain in boxes.
UGA is holding off on distribution to about 9,000 donors until the guides are reprinted. The reprints also are expected to be distributed at SEC Media Days next week in Hoover, Ala., and to be used for sales in the university bookstore and online.
Felton said the reprint would involve "probably at least 14,000″ copies and cost in the $50,000 ballpark.
Only a few pages will be altered.
Evans' name will be removed from the athletic-director line in the "general information" section on page 2. His photo will be removed from page 77. And his bio on page 207 will be replaced with one of Crumley, who was named last week as the interim athletics director.
Georgia hasn't decided what to do with the thousands of guides that will go unused from the original printing.

Terre Roche and Her Memoir
in Books
For over 30 years, Terre and her sisters, Maggie and Suzzy, were the successful singing group known as The Roches. Terre has written a funny, wise, and very candid memoir of her life, both before and after fame. Terre's book, Blabbermouth, is a brave, tender and disturbing book. In it, Terre tells the story of her origins, her adventures as a young teenage girl who leaves the "lilac walls" of her childhood bedroom with the support of her close-knit suburban family, her rise to fame with Columbia Records, her travels on the road from coast to coast, alone with her slightly older sister. ("A teenage Thelma and Louise but without the murders," Terre describes them.) Terre also tells of her early mentoring by Terri Thal and Dave Van Ronk, Paul Simon, and Michael Tannen, of how the towns of Park Ridge, Hammond, Baton Rouge, San Francisco and Greenwich Village shaped her. She tells riveting tales of her early auditions, her first lover, her first male friend, Derek; reveals the sources of her sense of safety – notably her family – and relates violent encounters that she meets in the world as a teenager. Blabbermouth inhabits an uneasy place where injustices are unresolved. Terre is choosing to "see each other in the big picture," (as she calls it) by telling her story without apology. Her prose's clear tone is like that from the gold-leaf rim of a glass stroked by a conductive finger. It's quite an accomplishment.

Company of Stone: A Memoir with John Rixey Moore
in Books
John Rixey Moore is the product of two old southern families from Virginia and South Carolina, but he grew up in the bi-lingual environment of the oil fields in Venezuela where his father worked as a petroleum engineer.
He graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in Philosophy at the height of the Vietnam War and chose to enlist in the military rather than risk the consequences of waiting for the draft. He joined the Special Forces and served in Vietnam where he ran deep penetration interdiction and assassination missions for the CIA into Cambodia, Laos, and North Vietnam until he was wounded the third time and sent home.
Soon after leaving the dig, he found shelter in a monastery from a series of winter storms that kept him inside for several weeks, and by the time the weather cleared, he had found a way to help the kitchen staff in the monastery scullery. During this time and in this quiet place, he was able to begin putting the war behind him. Along with his work both within and around the 14th able to spend many hours in the library with its huge collection of old books and coal burning fire places. He has written about some of the unusual personalities he encountered there.
His acting career eventually took him to California, where he lives, writes, studies lines, and practices the fiddle in the mountains north of Los Angeles and drives into the city for business. He runs a writers group that meets each week in Studio City, and he has had two memoirs published. One, called Hostage of Paradox, is an account of the terrible months he served in Special Operations in Southeast Asia, and the second, called Company of Stone, is about his time in the monastery and then the gold mine.

MATT: My biggest observation from the night was the aggressiveness of the defensemen in the offensive zone. We saw them jumping into the rush, pinching and keeping pucks alive all night, which is something we didn't see much over the last several seasons. On several plays, we even saw defensemen like Ryan McDonagh and Anton Stralman venture so deep they were battling for loose pucks just outside the crease. Alain Vigneault has stressed adding that dimension to the team's system, and it seems the players are responding quickly.
JIM: Good point, though I will take you one step further. I think the Rangers hounded the puck, and outmanned the Flyers on the puck, most of the night; and a big part of that is the defense coming up into the neutral zone quicker to create doubleteams on the surprised Flyers forwards. Alain Vigneault stated in camp the other day that one of the team's goals is too outnumber the opposition on the puck as often as possible this season, and last night we saw examples of that throughout the game.

Convenient Access to Care
High-tech imaging puts patient safety first
A hybrid operating room equipped with advanced technologies that enhance patient safety opened in 2012 at Sutter-affiliated Memorial Medical Center in Modesto. Imaging systems in the operating suite, a first for the Central Valley, provide quick, detailed information to ensure shorter, more accurate treatments. Patients receive substantially less X-ray exposure than is typical with traditional imaging devices.
New hospital part of larger pledge to widen access to care
The opening of the new Eden Medical Center was a 2012 milestone in our $4.5 billion hospital-construction program and commitment to improving health care access across Northern California. The 130-bed Eden facility features many advanced technologies and services, including six surgery suites, 34 dialysis-support patient rooms and two specialized surgical rooms with high-resolution imaging for vascular, neurological and spinal surgeries.
Hospital construction on track to help expand services
Sutter Health continued investing in new facilities and lifesaving technology throughout Northern California in 2012. Nearly $2 billion in major earthquake safety-related hospital replacements and renovations, along with new physician clinic construction projects, were under way in Santa Rosa, Oakland, Sacramento and Castro Valley. Sutter Health expects to invest in additional hospital projects in San Francisco after securing approvals.
After more than a decade of planning, designing and constructing, the new Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley opened Dec. 1, 2012.
Progress continued on the new patient care pavilion and parking structure at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Oakland. The Patient Care Pavilion will open in 2014.
Construction continued on Sutter Medical Center of Santa Rosa's new $284 million state-of-the-art medical campus, opening in 2014.
Construction continued in 2012 on the 242-bed Anderson Lucchetti Women's and Children's Center and the renovation of Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento.
Website encourages active doctor-patient communication
By the end of 2012, more than 760,000 patients within our network had quick, convenient access to their care providers through My Health Online. The personalized online tool gives patients a secure way to schedule appointments, renew prescriptions, view some lab results and exchange emails with their doctors. They also can make co-payments, check insurance and billing information, read health articles and receive reminders of key medical tests and screenings.
Emergency services expanded in foothills communities
Patients in Amador County benefited from our ongoing commitment to health care access with the 2012 expansion of Sutter Amador Hospital. Added to the hospital's emergency department were two new major-treatment rooms, eight treatment rooms and three triage-treatment rooms.
Teamwork opens door to specialized children's services
Sutter-affiliated California Pacific Medical Center partnered with Lucile Packard Children's Hospital to make highly specialized hospital care more readily available to Northern California children. Medical teams from both hospitals work side by side in treating complex pediatric cases.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Our school houses second, third, and multi-handicapped classrooms in our district. We were recently the recipients of a state award for having been the most successful with state test scores three years in a row. While we work hard to be successful as teachers and students, it does not come cheaply for us. As with a lot of districts, teachers spend a large amount of their own money to purchase classroom items, curriculum materials, rewards, and supplemental items. We also pay for our own lunches. Oklahoma teachers are almost bottom of the pay scale in the U.S. so the extra spending is truly from the heart and hard on the pocketbook. We have highly dedicated teachers in our building! I feel we could use the money to purchase more hands-on items for our classes. The Common Core suggests we use more of these type lessons, however, those are often the items we can't afford to purchase. With this money I know we could be even more successful and hopefully earn another state award.

HENRY COUNTY, OH (Toledo News Now) – Damascus Township firefighters are looking for the suspect responsible for stealing one of their jaws of life tools.
The tool is used to cut metal to rescue people from car accidents.
"This was taken from inside the department," explained Sheriff Michael Bodenbender. "They were at a fire or something, that's when they feel it was taken."
Thankfully the missing tool is just the back-up set, but news of the theft was still startling and upsetting to people in the area.
"Shame on them," said resident Cindy Christy. "It saves lives and it makes the jobs of our medical personnel…easier, and their job is hard enough as it is."
Anyone with information on the missing tool should contact the Henry County Sheriff's Office at 419-592-8010.

Where is the outrage?
Reader comment on: Wahhabi Vandalism In Morocco and Tunisia
Submitted by Cate Dixon (United States), Nov 9, 2012 16:24
Where is the outrage over the Waqf of Haram ash-Sharif in Jerusalem digging under the mosque there, using huge stone cutters, and dumping layers and layers of history in the Kidron Valley? Where is the outrage that, having done that, Palestinians and other Muslims now claim there was never a Jewish presence there?

Will Oil Make or Break the Islamic State?
by Ben Cohen
Now, with the Islamic State's self-proclaimed caliphate having captured key oil wells in the Middle East this year, foreign oil has become an even more lethal financial weapon-of-choice for those seeking to destroy democracy and further escalate the War on Terror.
That President Barack Obama failed even to mention oil as a critical factor in the war against IS during his speech to the nation on September 10, is an omission both revealing and dangerous in terms of how his administration wants to depict the stakes involved in this latest confrontation with the jihadis.
Children as Suicide Bombers in Islamic Countries
by Lawrence A. Franklin
One Pakistani recruiter of child suicide bombers describes these children as "tools provided by God."
Another Muslim cleric in a madrassa [Islamic boys' school] describes child suicide bombers as "a gift from Allah that we have an unlimited number willing to be sacrificed to teach Americans a lesson."
Using children as suicide bombers will stop when... they stop "condoning the killing of innocents."
Islam and the "Killing of Innocents"
by Denis MacEoin
"No religion condones the killing of innocents." — U.S. President Barack Obama, September 10, 2014.
"Islam is a religion of peace." — U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, September 13, 2014.
"There is a place for violence in Islam. There is a place for jihad in Islam." — U.K. Imam Anjem Choudary, CBN News, April 5, 2010.
Regrettably it is impossible to re-interpret the Qur'an in a "moderate" manner. The most famous modern interpretation by Sayyid Qutb (d. 1966), the Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, leads the reader again and again into political territory, where jihad is at the root of action.
If they deviated from the true faith -- as we are seeing in the Islamic State today -- "backsliders," like pagans, were to be fought until they either accepted Islam or were killed.
In India alone, between 60 and 80 million Hindus may have been put to death by Muslim armies between the years 1000-1525.
What Does Hamas Really Want?
by Yaakov Lappin
Hamas's long-term ambitions are indistinguishable from those of Islamic State and al-Qaeda.
Hamas will now focus on its next goal -- trying to strengthen its presence in the West Bank and eventually toppling the Palestinian Authority from power there, just as it did in Gaza. If Israel were to withdraw from the West Bank, Hamas would certainly find such a goal easier to accomplish.
Nothing keeps the flames of jihad alight, and Hamas's popularity secure, like frequent wars.

Packaging Corner: Give pallet loads a sustainable edge
July 01, 2013 - MMH Editorial
Nobody puts sustainability in a corner… except companies using corner protectors to cut waste. That's because the V-shaped corner boards can be used with stretchwrap—in place of corrugated shrouds—to secure and protect palletized loads during transport and storage.
Although both methods are completely recyclable, protect the edges of a load and boost stacking strength, the corner boards offer a bigger payoff in other key areas, says Todd Hainer, manager of new business development at Laminations, a part of Great Northern Corp.
"When companies look at sustainability, a big area of focus is transportation fuel costs and maximizing trailer cube," he explains. "That's where corner boards make a huge difference. In addition to minimizing packaging, they enable pallet loads to be stacked two-high in a trailer, whereas shrouds do not."
For shippers transporting pallets from coast to coast, doubling the amount of product in a trailer load can result in fuel and transit cost savings as high as $2,000 per trailer, Hainer says.
However, because Laminations' customers—and often their customers' customers—have experienced product damage in shipping due to improperly supported, double pallet load stacking, Hainer says there frequently is an education process, including multiple pilot tests, when introducing the company's VBoard solution.
"Sometimes, during corner board pilot testing, we discover further sustainability savings by down-gauging the caliper thickness of the corrugated case boxes," he adds. "Companies, particularly those that have experienced product damage in shipping, will often use boxes with high edge crush test (ECT) ratings that ensure they are strong enough to withstand the forces of pallet loads placed on top."
Reducing case box weights cuts both their expense, as well as freight costs. And, once inside a warehouse with open floor space, pallet loads with corner boards can be stacked up to four-high with no racking, Hainer adds. "For companies that rent warehousing floor space—particularly seasonally—that's a huge benefit, because you can fit more product in the same area."
Plus, the corner protectors are reusable. Because they are made from layers of 100% recycled paper, held together with water-based adhesives, and coated with biodegradable scuff- and water-resistant coatings, they can be recycled at the end of their useful life.

Police have made two arrests in a year-and-a-half old Henrico murder mystery.
Isaiah D. Thompson, 22, was found shot and killed in August 2011 at the Newbridge Apartment complex building. At the time police had only vague suspect descriptions. However, Wednesday Henrico police arrested Terrance Craig Wallace, Jr., 21, and Delante Vasean Rowe, 21, on charges of conspiracy to commit murder and use of a firearm in commission of a felony.
Thompson's girlfriend said the shooting may have stemmed from a fight at the Have a Nice Day Cafe in Shockoe Bottom. Two others were also shot, but were able to recover.
"It was scary," says Jasmine Jones. She says Thompson died on her doormat in the hallway of the building. "It was shocking at the same time, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't do anything."
Jones ran to a back room with her family when they heard the gunshots.
"He died so fast there was nothing nobody could do," she said.
For hours, detectives combed a large crime scene marking off evidence.
But no new developments were released until now. Investigators say Wallace and Rowe have something to do with the murder. Officers say Wallace was found in Chesterfield, Delante in Henrico.
"I hope it will send out the message it shouldn't done it shouldn't," says Jones. "Nothing is that serious to kill someone [and] take somebody's life over."
The arrests are now sending out a strong message to those who think violence is the answer.
Detectives are still investigating and consider it an ongoing investigation. If you have any information that could help police, call 501-5000.

Detroit rebuts Consumer Reports' turbo results
Ford and GM say their vehicles have better fuel economy than the magazine's tests indicate.
In light of Consumer Reports' recent determination that turbocharged vehicles, like those made by Ford (F) and General Motors (GM), "have slower acceleration and no better fuel economy than the models with bigger, conventional engines," investors are left to wonder what, if any, impact this latest finding will have on sales.
If the latest news out of China is any indication, Ford has little to worry about. The Associated Press reports that Ford said sales of Ford-brand vehicles, including imports, rose 135% to 44,439 vehicles there in January.
General Motors said earlier that its sales of GM-brand vehicles in China rose 26% in January to a monthly record of 310,765.
Consumer Reports magazine tested a wide variety of these turbocharged vehicles, and even contests the EPA fuel-economy estimates on the vehicles, saying the cars didn't match up.
The Los Angeles Times reported that Ford released a statement in response to the turbo testing saying that the magazine's "findings are not consistent with our internal and external feedback. It shows EcoBoost vehicles lead in customer satisfaction for fuel economy across segments -- including surveys by J.D. Power."
General Motors also released a statement implying that the testers might have driven more aggressively than the average Cruze owner does. "If you have a heavy foot on a turbocharged engine, you're not necessarily going to see a lot of fuel economy benefits."
Since the middle of 2009, Ford has been aggressively marketing its EcoBoost engines, which feature a turbocharger and promise greater fuel efficiency. The company has sold more than a half million models with EcoBoost engines.
"Our customers are very happy with their EcoBoost vehicles," said Sherwood. Many of those customers paid between $700 and $900 extra to buy a model with an EcoBoost engine.
Stricter government policies are putting pressure on automakers to improve mileage. As standards change over the next seven years, results will reveal which manufacturers make the grade.
Ford hopes the fuel-cell technology it will produce with Nissan (NSANY), Daimler AG (DDAIF), and Renault will ultimately be the answer to its problems. With Toyota (TM) and BMW also working on fuel-cell systems -- not to mention the competition from alternative hybrid technologies and the possibility of poor acceptance of fuel-cells, the road ahead will not be smooth.
Ford finished Thursday down about 1% while GM was down about 0.2%.
The question for Consumer Reports is why they tested this particular correlation in the first place. If the reason was based on a preconceived assessment that auto companies are inflating the statistics on their vehicles, then CR testers are obviously going to skew the test towards proving that preconceived assessment.
As such, much heavier foot driving leading to lower MPG. Even with a turbo-booster, you will not get the same acceleration from a 4-cylinder as a 6 or 8. Most people buying this type of engine are not looking for the extra power of a turbo so they can speed all over. They want to extra power to be available if/when they need it. THEIR MAIN REASON FOR BUYING THE CAR WAS THE MILEAGE!!!
Let one of the buyers conduct the testing. I think your results will be more in line with the auto maker's results.
In the old days......We had 2 or 4 bbl carburetors...If you drove on just the 2 bbl part, you would get pretty good mileage 20-25 mpg...Kick in all 4 and maybe 15-16 mpg..?
Think my "first car"only had a single barrel carb and a "flat head engine."
Some cars if ordered, had 2-3 Carbs...Others could get Fuel Injection...
Needless to say their mileage,MPGs were not as good.
Foot on the Pedal, is the main determining factor of Mpg..?
Unless you are stuck in a traffic jam/backup.

GREEN BAY, WI (WHBL) - The Green Bay Packers will give their younger players one final chance to win a regular season roster spot tonight. The Packers will host Kansas City in their fourth-and-final exhibition game. Coach Mike McCarthy says most of the starters will play only one series – and some won't play at all. That will give the coaches a chance to watch their bubble players go against top-line N-F-L competition. The Chiefs played their starters for three quarters in last year's pre-season finale in Green Bay. New Chiefs' coach Romeo Crennel has not said how long the first stringers will play tonight. He says it depends on how the units are performing. The Packers must still decide if they want Graham Harrell to be the main back-up to quarterback Aaron Rodgers. In his first three pre-season games, Harrell had a passer rating of only 53.7, with 32-of-61 completions for 261 yards and a touchdown. And there's still a competition for the starting right corner spot, where Sam Shields and rookie Casey Hayward hope to start over Jarrett Bush. The Packers will let 22 players go tomorrow, to get down to their regular season roster of 53. Pregame coverage on WHBL begins at 4pm with kickoff scheduled for 6 o'clock.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- The Kutzky Park neighborhood was put on high alert last summer following a string of sexual assaults. Monday, the teenager charged in those assaults pleaded not guilty to the charges filed against him.
17-year old Dion Mayer, who's being charged as an adult, has been in custody since his arrest on September 18th of last year and was charged with multiple felonies earlier this month.
Those charges were filed after three alleged sexual assaults in May, July and September of 2012.
According to court documents in the most recent incident, the victim told officers Mayer choked and assaulted her.
In other incidents, Mayer is accused of stealing electronics and assualting multiple other women.
He remains in custody on a $750,000 dollar bond.
Mayer is scheduled to make his next court appearance on May 24th.

Pachyonychia Congenita (PC)
Pachyonychia Congenita is a rare hereditary disorder that can affect the nails, skin, mouth, larynx, hair, and eyes. Currently, two distinct types of PC are recognized: PC-1, or Jadassohn-Lewandowsky type, and PC-2, or Jackson-Lawler type.
Pachyonychia Congenita is a genetically inherited disorder that follows an autosomal dominant pattern. Autosomal means that the genetic defect is carried on one of the 22 human chromosomes that do not determine sex. Dominant means that the gene with the mutation dominates over normal skin and produces. A person with one dominant gene for PC and one gene for normal skin will have PC. Research data suggest that the mutations in keratins K6a and K16 are associated with PC-1 and mutations in keratins K6b and K17 are associated with PC-2. Keratins are proteins that are important to the normal function of hair, nails and skin.
- Thickened fingernails and toenails.
- Plantar keratoderma - blisters and thick calluses on the soles of the feet.
- Palmar keratoderma – blisters and thick calluses on the palms of the hands.
- Oral leukokeratosis – thick white growths on the tongue and the insides of the cheeks.
- Follicular keratoses – bumps that form around the hair follicles.
- Possible involvement of the larynx – hoarseness or thickening of the voice box.
- Hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating) and non-epidermal cysts.
- Thickened fingernails and toenails.
- Plantar keratoderma – blisters and thick calluses on the soles of the feet.
- Palmar keratoderma – blisters and thick calluses on the palms of the hands.
- Oral leukokeratosis – thick white growths on the tongue and the insides of the cheeks.
- Possible involvement of the larynx – hoarseness or thickening of the voice box.
- Blistering of the palms and soles.
- Hyperhydrosis – excessive sweating of the feet or hands.
- Natal or prenatal teeth.
- Cysts – including steatocystoma (epithelial/skin) type.
There may be additional forms of PC that are presently not well defined. No specific gene mutation has yet been identified for several syndromes that may be related to PC, including palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK), epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (EPPK), and Tylosis or Unna-Thost syndrome.
Not every affected individual exhibits every clinical feature. Each person may display a unique set of signs and symptoms even within families. PC may be difficult to diagnose because the clinical features and their severity vary and they frequently overlap between types. Because of the difficulty in diagnosing this disorder, Pachyonychia Congenita types are currently defined and determined by a combination of physical findings and genetic mutation testing.
Treatment of PC is primarily symptomatic. Emollients (moisturizers) and keratolytics (products containing alpha-hydroxy acids) can be used for the hyperkeratoses. Routine grinding of the nail plates can minimize their interference with function. Severe cases can be treated systemically with oral synthetic retinoids (Accutane, Soriatane). Retinoids are only used in severe cases due to their known bone toxicity and other complications.

Babies Left in Hot Cars: Accident or Crime?
Julie Taylor: There have been two cases of kids being left in hot cars recently. One child died, and the other is hospitalized. In both cases, criminal charges have been filed. But is leaving a child in a hot car a crime -- or an accident?
Jessica Holmes was charged with one count of second-degree manslaughter in the death of Atrinity Hasbell, her roommate's 2-year-old daughter. According to the affidavit, Holmes had meant to drop off Atrinity at Tender Care Too daycare with her own two children. She told investigators that she'd forgotten the toddler was in the third seat of the minivan and that she'd gone on to work at another daycare. Atrinity died after being left in the hot car all day.
Pinchus Blachorsky has been charged with child neglect after allegedly leaving his 9-month-old son in a 119-degree car for more than an hour. Blachorsky apparently forgot to drop his son off at daycare, and instead drove to the learning center where he regularly studied. He realized he'd left his son in the car after his wife called him to find out where their child was. The baby is currently hospitalized and is in stable condition.
According to Janette Fennell, founder and president of Kids and Cars, a national nonprofit group that advocates for child safety, roughly 36 infants and children die annually in the U.S. due to being trapped in hot cars. (Mom Raelyn Balfour, who was acquitted of involuntary manslaughter after leaving her 9-month-old son in a hot car for seven hours, shared her story with momlogic.)
How can a parent forget her child? "Everyone thinks these parents are bad or strung out on drugs, but parents who've lost their kids in these types of accidents include pediatricians, doctors, school principals, lawyers and NASA engineers," Fennell says. "For the most part, these are highly educated, extremely loving and doting parents."
She says these accidents have little to do with how good a parent is, and everything to do with how memory functions -- or doesn't function. "In the early '90s, these cases were rare," she says. "But then, in the mid-'90s, front-passenger airbags were installed in cars, and there was a huge campaign to get kids to move to the backseat. An unintended consequence of this was kids dying of hyperthermia in cars -- because children were out of sight, out of mind."
In many cases, the forgotten children are under the age of 1 and are sitting in rear-facing car seats. Their parents are not sleeping much -- which comes into play, says Fennell. "In an overwhelming majority of cases, there has been a change in routine," she adds.
Fennell says the biggest mistake parents can make is thinking that this cannot happen to them. "That's what these parents probably thought, too," she says. Fennell shares three ways to help prevent these deadly accidents:
1) Starting today, keep a teddy bear or stuffed animal in your child's car seat. Whenever your child is in the car seat, put the stuffed animal in the front passenger seat as a visual reminder that your child is in the car.
2) Keep your lunch bag, employee badge or purse in the backseat. That way, you'll always reach into your backseat or open your back door when you arrive at your destination.
3) Have an ironclad policy with your daycare provider that if your child does not show up, someone will call a provided list of contacts to confirm his or her whereabouts. "In so many cases, if the daycare provider would have called, tragedy could have been averted," says Fennell.
Kids and Cars is working hard to get legislation passed that would require automakers to install weight-recognition sensors in cars that would alert parents who've left their kids in the backseat. "We won't give up until it's passed, because it would save countless lives," says Fennell.
What do you think of parents who've left kids in cars? Is it a tragic accident -- or a crime?
Its a huge crime and they should be punished as such. If it is a "memory thing" then they would be forgetting other things as well. They are not forgetting to go to work and run their errands, they are forgetting their kids. The thing that is supposed to be the most important thing in their lives. How do you not think about your child. I think about mine all day long, I have always made sure they all get out of the car. Infact when they are not with me I still find myself opening the door to let them out. They are always on my mind!!! These parents need to spend more time focussing on their kids and less on themselves and other things they put before their kids.
Amen, Wendi! Well put! I was thinking the same things reading this article. The big problem is not passenger-side airbags or rear-facing car seats or daycare providers that don't call to check when a child doesn't show up. The problem is parents that are stretched too thin, doing too much, working full time (both of them), and they don't have the TIME to be parents. Something falls through the cracks, and, disastrously, that something is their children. It's inconceivable to me that anyone could "forget" their child is in the car with them. Yes, it's a crime. And the minute we stop treating it as such, these kinds of cases will skyrocket. Shame on those parents. Maybe work a little less, parent a little more.
Crime plain and simple….
I love it how they all seen to "forget" the child in the car.
Wow! But for the grace of God, there go I.
I am appalled at the lack of compassion in these responses! It's awful!! Yes, the parents are stretched too thin, need to slow down, and probably need to reevaluate. However, I think the death sentence of their own child is punishment enough for the "crime" of being overwhelmed. I've heard that the majority of these car deaths happen when a parent is out of their normal routine…and they forget. Just that, they forget. It's horrible. But being busy and overwhelmed is not as horrible as a clear lack of compassion for other people, as I've seen in the responses before mine. To me, that's worse. I hope none of you are in a position to need the mercy of other people because of a horrible accident you caused.
As much as I want to blame them, its an obvious but unfortunate mistake. There is an excellent article in the washington post that explores this subject in greater death, including talking to parents who have gone
through it.
Its called "Fatal Distraction: Forgetting a Child in the Backseat of a Car Is a Horrifying Mistake. Is It a Crime?" by Gene Weingarten. I highly suggest it, especially for those of you who think the parents need to be punished.
It maybe easy to say "Maybe work a little less, parent a little more," Lisa, but not everyone has that option. Unexpected costs and needs can arise at any time.
And how can anyone say that these people should be punished with more than what they will have to live with for the rest of their lives?
I agree with you completely. There are times when parents can get too busy, and are in a rush. I am a mother, and luckily I have never forgotten my children in my vehicle for any more than a few seconds. I have gotten out of my vehicle, turned, and made it only maybe a few steps, and turned back remembering that I had brought my children with me. This being said, I can NOT understand how a parent can forget their child for any lengthened period of time. This could be five, ten, twenty minutes, or even an hour or more. With mine it is an instant rememberance, no matter what. I am never more than two or three steps away before I realize I forgot my munchkins. I have only done this twice, aqnd like I said I was only a few steps away. There is no way I could possibly go into a store and go shopping, go to a salon, or go to any other place and "forget" my children in my vehicle for a long period of time. I believe there are those people that intentionally leave their children in a vehicle to go do something, especially if it something where the child would not be welcome, such as the man who left his infant daughter in his car to go looking for a new outfit for his wife in a porn store. He should be charged and punished to the fullest extent of the law. To me this man is a sicko to put "naughty things" before his child's well being. I also think there are those who simply forget, or do not know, such as the couple whose son died after being left in the car in the garage for over two hours because each parent thought the other had brought him in and put him to bed. Although, I do believe the smart thing to do would have been to double check on the child.
How about just being a responsible parent?
Charlotte, if you've forgotten your children for just a few moments, you have still forgotten them…
Or just make it a point to always check all seats when you get out of the car. I know when my two were small, I had a FEAR I would leave them in the car. I never got out of the car I didn't look in the back seat before shutting the door.
I do have compassion, for the child that is no longer here because their parents were irresponsible. There is nothing more important than to be the protector of the innocent child that you chose to bring into this world. To say that you are stretched to thin or its out of their routine is just an excuse. Their routine should involve making sure their child is safe. I have read many of these stories in tears before, because of that poor little child and the horrible death that they go put through because someone forgot them.
I agree, Wendi. I'm sorry, I believe in forgiveness, however my compassion is reserved for the innocent babies who have suffered a horrendous death. The fact that these are totally preventable deaths, if only the parent/caregiver would have just taken the time to put in place prevention measures, makes these cases even less tolerable. Many prevention measures exist, from just making it a habit to look in your backseat, to purchasing a baby sensor device on the market; anything to protect your child. Let's start making our children the priority in our lives, not the myriad other tasks on our agenda.
Oh, and there have been 9 cases already this year, not two. How fast the numbers rise, just like the temp in the car.
Wendy I agree with you 100% and couldn't have said it better. If I can remember to get my sack lunch out of the car before I get out of the car, I can certainly remember my most prized possession and the love of my life…my child.
It amazes me how we make excuses for things like this while our most precious resource continues to suffer.
How can parents forget their
Lil ones that's sad
It is an accident or a crime? It is neither — it IS however, NEGLECT. You cannot excuse leaving a live person (child or otherwise) in a locked vehicle and going about your business. Medication doesn't excuse it, nor does intoxication, or other influences that distracted the otherwise (perceived) responsible adult in charge. It is neglect.
These incidents of leaving children, toddlers, infants, school-aged kids, in cars always occur during the summertime. I am a parent of two children. I get my hair done in salons infrequently, and I go to run errands with my kids. There are many times I have wanted to leave them in the car while I run in to take care of business. But I don't… know why? Becuase I am more afraid of police and child services than some nosy by-stander observing my behavior. The responsibility is to the adult - whether it is their child or one in trust for the moment. If you forget that, you deserve the consequences. This isn't a teddy bear or a purse - he or she is a defenseless child; and people need to be MORE responsible!
It needs to be treated as a crime! Once you actually start punishing people for doing this, maybe the "accidents" will decrease! I strongly believe that many of these incidents aren't accidents at all, but people deciding they don't want the "burden" of children anymore, so just leave them in a hot car all day. The general public cries "Oh that poor mother/father, how awful," at the most they get probation and they go on living their lives. It's the perfect child-murder scenario and you will NEVER see me have sympathy for them.
I really pray people no one would think like that Carin. It really is neglect, you could be criminally charged for leaving your Dog in the car, should we not give our childern the same respect. Each case needs to be evaluated indiviually because everyone is different.
Rachel, if you're looking for compassion for the parents who are too busy to remember that they brought a life into this world & are responsible for it, you've obviously come to the wrong place. I agree with Wendi & Calebsmom & the others who think the CHILD (the dead child, mind you) is more important than the "poor parent" who has been "punished enough" by the loss of her/his child. The loss of that child is because of that parent; she/he should suffer. You may think I'm cold-hearted, but I disagree. Yes, things arise that people need money for; and yes, in a lot of cases both parents work out of need. But in MANY cases both parents work because they want stuff. They want to buy brand-new cars, bigger houses, pools, fancy clothes, designer everything, have the best, the most, etc. It's not need, it's greed. The article even said high-level, well-paid people make this mistake. It's unconsconable to me that people forget they have children. I'm shaking my head just typing this.
Every instance has to be looked at on a case by case basis. IF the parent were drinking or abusing drugs then yes, obviously that is a crime without a doubt. However, if a child dies by drowning in the bathtub or pool, or by being run over by a parent who didn't see them playing behind the car it is called a "terrible accident". In most of these cases the parent wasn't inebriated and there was no malice intended. Then again, that's what Involuntary Manslaughter is defined as. So really, it's very hard to say. In the end a life is lost and many other lives are destroyed b/c of this terrible accident.

Tracers- Man from Floral
"We were playing the Maple Leafs in Detroit," he says of the events of March 28, 1950. "I was chasing Teeder Kennedy. He was coming down the left side of the rink, to my right, and I was going to run him into the boards. But my first thought was to intercept the pass I figured he'd make to Sid Smith, who was coming down the center of the ice. I glanced back at Smith and put my stick down where I thought the pass might be going. What I didn't know as I turned back toward Kennedy was that in the instant I'd turned away, he'd let the pass go, and now he was bringing up his stick to protect himself from my hitting him."
