Sultan Ali Yusuf Keenadiid - 1926
Sultan Ali Yusuf Keenadiid ( son of Sultan Yusuf Ali Keenadiid) and other elders in Mogadishu soon after the Italian colonists captured Obbia and exiled them to the capital of Italian Somaliland.
The northeast region of Somalia has, since August 1st, 1998, been referred to as Puntland State of Somalia. The territory is characterized by vast semi-arid range lands on which nomadic pastoralists raise herds of camels, goats and sheep. There are also a number of small towns and small coastal settlements where people practice rudimentary fishing.
The economy is primarily dependent on pastoralism, the livestock trade, and the import and export of goods at the port of Bosaaso on the northeast coast. Stretching from the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean to the north and east, to south Mudug region in central Somalia and bordering Ethiopia and Somaliland in the west, the area encompasses the traditional territory of the Harti clan group of the Darood clan-family and a number of other Darood clans and is considered one of the most homogeneous Somali regions.
Although pre-colonial Somali society did not have a national government with modern structures and clearly defined international borders, the northeast region had traditional structures of government dating from the 18th century. These traditional structures of government included:
The Sultanate of Migiurtinia (mid 18th century - 1927)
The Sultanate of Obbio (1878–1925)
The Warsangeli Sultanate of Sanaag (1896–1925)
The Dervish State (1899 -1920)
These Sultanates had administrative and military structures, which safeguarded security, social welfare and political stability until they were disrupted by colonial powers (the Italians in the first two Sultanates and the British in the last two).
As Prof. Said Samatar of Rutgers University put it:
In precolonial times the only states worthy of the name in the Somali peninsula had been the Migiurtinia Sultanate of Boqor, or king, Cismaan Mohamuud and the kingdom of Obbia (Hobyo) belonging to Cismaan's nephew, the dour Yuusuf Ali Keenadiid. These were both highly centralized states with all the organs and accoutrements of an integrated modern state - a hereditary nobility, titled aristocrats, a functioning bureaucracy, a flag, an army and a significant network of foreign relations with embassies abroad.
Nowhere else in Somalia did anything even remotely comparable ever arise, except perhaps the Ujuuraan on the Shabeelle valley and Adal on the northwestern coast, both states having reached the apogee of power in the sixteenth century. In modern times the Migiurtin stand alone, absolutely alone, in having created a centralized state.
The Warsangeli Sultanate was noted for its robust tax-based centralized administration and trade and commercial relations existed between the Sultanates, the Indian sub-continent and Arabian Gulf states. For instance, ad valorem taxation systems, export of livestock, animal and agro-forestry products and import of consumer goods thrived in the Sultanate of Migiurtinia during the second half of the 19th century and first quarter of the 20th century.
In Puntland, "Isim" (singular) or "Isimo" (plural), the traditional titled leaders or paramount chiefs, are usually crowned in a traditional ceremony known as "'Aano-Shub" (meaning crowning with milk, pouring milk on the head) or "'Aleemo-Saar" (meaning showering with green leaves). The highest traditional position for the Darood clan is the Boqor (king), with other positions denoted as Ugaas, Garaad, Islan, Beeldaaje, Sultan, Qud, Caaqil (chief), Nabaddon, Samadoon and Oday.
Boqor Cusmaan Boqor Maxamuud (King of Migiurtinia).
Sultan Yusuf Ali Keenadiid (Sultan of Obbio).
Sultan Mohamoud Ali Shire (Sultan of The Warsangeli Sultanate also know as "Sovereign of the House of North East of Somaliland Sultanate" and "Sultan of Sultans of Somaliland").
The traditional life of the northeast regions was disrupted from 1900-1920 by the turmoil of battles waged by Sayid Mohamed Abdulle Hassan against European and Ethiopian colonization of Somali territories, and subsequently from 1923-1927 by the resistance of the Sultanates of Obbio and Miguirtina to Italian direct rule.
In the beginning of 1920, the British struck the Dervish settlements with a well-coordinated air and land attack and inflicted a stunning defeat. The forts of Hassan were damaged and his army suffered great losses. The British Royal Air Force's (R.A.F.) bombing Jidali Fort was the first aerial bombardment of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Soon after Hassan's defeat, the British, dreading the prospect of another several decades of costly and difficult battles with yet another Somali potentate, set about attempting to neutralize Sultan Shire's influence. Shire was secretly invited to a conference in Yemen, ostensibly to discuss possible ways of settling differences. After a short session before the meeting was scheduled to begin, he was taken into custody by the British authorities. Sultan Shire was later tried without proper representation in a kangaroo court.
In 1925, Omar Samatar, one of the military chiefs of Sultan Ali Yusuf of The Sultanate of Obbio, led a rebellion against the Italians that culminated in the recapturing of El-Buur on November 9, 1925. Soon the rebellion expanded to the local population and the region went into revolt as El-Dheere also came under the control of Omar Samatar. The Italian forces tried to recapture El-Buur but they were repulsed.
On November 15,1925 the Italians retreated to Bud Bud and on the way they were ambushed and suffered heavy casualties. As a consequence of the death of the commander of the operations and the effect of two failed operations intended to overcome the El-Buur mutiny, the spirit of Italian troops began to wane. Meanwhile, the rebellion was gaining sympathy across the country and as far a field as Western Somaliland.
The fascist government was surprised by the setback in Obbio (Hobyo). The whole policy of conquest was collapsing under their nose. The El-Buur episode drastically changed the strategy of Italy as it revived memories of the Adwa fiasco when Italy had been defeated by Abyssinia. Governor De Vecchi took the situation seriously, and to prevent any more failure he requested two battalions from Eritrea to reinforce his troops, and assumed lead of the operations. Rome instructed De Vecchi that he was to receive the reinforcement from Eritrea, but that the commander of the two battalions was to temporarily assume the military command of the operations and De Vecchi was to stay in Muqdisho and confine himself to other colonial matters. Fascist Italy was poised to re-conquer the Sultanate by any means necessary. To undermine the resistance, and before the Eritrean reinforcement could arrive, De Vecchi began to instil distrust among the local people by buying the loyalty of some of them. In fact, these tactics had better results than the military campaign, and the resistance began to gradually wear down. Given the anarchy which would follow, the new policy was a success.
On the military front, on December, 26, 1925 Italian troops finally overran El-Buur, and the forces of Omar Samatar were compelled to retreat to Western Somaliland. Samatar led some followers across the border into Ethiopia and campaigned against Italians in the Ogaden at frontier posts.
By neutralizing the Sultanate of Obbio, the fascists could concentrate on Migiurtinia. In early October 1924, E. Coronaro, the new Alula commissioner, presented Boqor Cusmaan Boqor Maxamuud with an ultimatum to disarm and surrender. Meanwhile, Italian troops began to pour into the sultanate in anticipation of this operation. While landing at Hafun and Alula, the sultanate's troops opened fire on them. Fierce fighting ensued and to avoid escalating the conflict and to press the fascist government to revoke their policy, Boqor Cusmaan tried to open a dialogue. However, he failed, and again fighting broke out between the two parties. Following this disturbance, on 7 October the Governor instructed Coronaro to order the Boqor to surrender; to intimidate the people he ordered the seizure of all merchant boats in the Alula area. At Hafun, the Italians bombarded and destroyed all the boats in the area.

On 13 October, Coronaro was to meet Boqor Cusmaan at Baargaal to press for his surrender. Under siege already, Boqor Cusmaan was playing for time. However, on 23 October, Boqor Cusmaan sent an angry response to the Governor defying his order. Following this a full scale attack was ordered in November. Baargaal was bombarded and destroyed to the ground.

The aftermath.
The attempt of the colonizers to suppress the region erupted into an explosive confrontation. The Italians were meeting fierce resistance on many fronts.
October 30, 1925. Eritrean Ascari's following the fall of Bargal to Italian forces. The Ascari's landed on the beach of Bargal on Oct 28, 1925 but were attacked by rebel forces and forced to find safety inside in a mosque. The battle would last for 22 hour.
In December 1925, led by the charismatic leader Hersi Boqor, son of Boqor Cusmaan, the sultanate forces drove the Italians out of Hurdiyo and Hafun, two strategic coastal towns. Another contingent attacked and destroyed an Italian communications center at Cape Guardafui, at the tip of the Horn. In retaliation, and to demoralize the resistance, Italian warships were ordered to target and bombard the sultanate's coastal towns and villages. In the interior the Italian troops confiscated livestock.
After a violent confrontation Italian forces captured Eyl, which until then had remained in the hands of Hersi Boqor. In response to the unyielding situation, Italy called for reinforcements from their other colonies, notably Eritrea.
Eritrean Ascari Ibrahim Mohamed Farag. For his heroics in the region, Farag was awarded the Gold Medal for Military Valor and promoted to Muntar Ascari Corps of the Royal Navy.
With their arrival at the closing of 1926, the Italians began to move into the interior where they had not been able to venture since their first seizure of the coastal towns. Their attempt to capture the Dharoor Valley was resisted, and ended in failure.
De Vecchi had to reassess his plans as he was being humiliated on many fronts. After one year of exerting full force he could not yet manage to gain total control over the sultanate. In spite of the fact that the Italian navy sealed the sultanate's main coastal entrance, they could not succeed in stopping them from receiving arms and ammunition through it. It was only early 1927 when they finally succeeded in shutting the northern coast of the sultanate, thus cutting arms and ammunition supplies for Migiurtinia. By this time, the balance had tilted to the Italians' side, and in January 1927 they began to attack with massive force, capturing Iskushuban, at the heart of Migiurtinia. Hersi Boqor unsuccessfully attacked and challenged the Italians at Iskushuban. By the end of the 1927, the Italians had nearly taken control of the sultanate. Hersi Boqor and his troops retreated to Ethiopia in order to rebuild their forces, but were unable to retake their territories, effectively ending the Campaign of the Sultanates. Migiurtinia was the last region to fall to the Italian colonists.

Lidwien Kapteijns and Maryan Muuse Boqor
In light of Somalia's recent history, Maryan Muuse Boqor's recollections of her coming of age, as recorded by Lidwien Kapteijns, seem to describe a paradise lost. This is not at all to say that Maryan's early years were without challenge and loss. Rather, it is to say that, as the country struggled toward independence, Maryan's family and people around them believed in a brighter and more hopeful future. The descriptions of these times inevitably lead us to ask if we can see the elements of future developments in Somalia through the details of everyday life in the middle twentieth century recounted in the pages that follow. Is it possible to connect the local lives of Maryan and her family and friends with larger issues that may help Somalis recover from the civil war that began in 1991 and rebuild their state?
Maryan also tells a wonderful story of inter-generational solidarity among women. Her mother, her aunts, and older women friends of the family provided encouragement to her and served as crucial role models in her youth. She indeed emphasizes that she would not have become the woman she is today without their example. It is also true that she had close ties with some men in her family, notably her father, and that some of them also encouraged her to think beyond the boundaries often assigned to women in Somalia. These dimensions of the chapter lead us to ask how similarities and differences in age and gender roles between women and men influenced Maryan's early years and transition to young adulthood.
Finally, Maryan's tale, with its wealth of detail recorded by Lidwien Kapteijns, shows how the roles and possibilities open to women in Somalia were perhaps more various and more public than might be expected in a Muslim society. What paths were open to Maryan for personal and professional development? At what point did she strike out in new directions on her own? What were the benefits and burdens of being part of a generation that spearheaded such changes for women? Were the very high expectations of women only positive or perhaps at times also constraining? What specific aspects of Maryan's story change our impressions of Somalia and growing up there in the years between World War II and Somali independence?
To be a Somali in this era of civil war and communal violence is hard and heartrending. In the diaspora of Somalis living abroad, many people, especially women, fight the bitterness in their hearts with the memories of earlier solidarity and try to repair the social fabric through innumerable and never-ending small acts of kindness and mutual support. Nevertheless, since the civil war, even presenting a narrative about an individual or family exposes one to the mistrust that remains among people representing the many sides of the civil war. The complex civil conflict has also left distorted hate narratives in its wake, constructed especially by people with bad consciences or unsavory ambitions. Although women, generally speaking, played a different and less destructive role in the civil war than men, no man or woman, insider or outsider, has remained untouched by what we know, or think we know, about the war. In addition, although Somalis generally acknowledge the value of oral history, many still frown upon anyone who makes the personal public and the ordinary special, and even more so if that person is a woman: "Maxay dadka dheertahay?" ("What makes her better than other people?"); "Yay is moodday?" ("Who does she think she is?"). Despite these obstacles, we must tell the life stories of real women. Unless we do, the collective historical experiences of Somali women and their efforts and contributions to Somali history will remain unknown and unacknowledged.
Goldogob (Galdogob), Puntland:
Famous for its red sandy plains, this growing town located in central Somalia (towards the southern border of Puntland) is the gateway to Somali region of Ethiopia.
The Beaches of Puntland.
Puntland has a 1600 km long coastline which is abundant with fish and other natural marine resources.
Former President of Somalia 2004-2008, Colonel Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed died at the age of 77.
Associated Press: In a political career spanning almost half a century, Yusuf survived several assassination attempts, two stints in jail and a liver transplant.
Born in 1934, Abdullahi Yusuf was born into a nomadic family in Nugaal region. He joined the army in 1950 in Galkacyo, Mudug region and was sent off to Italy for training in 1954, making him one of the original 16 to graduate from military academy.
In 1957 at the age of 23, he became the deputy police commissioner of Banaadir. Later that year he was given the position of police commissioner of both Lower and Upper Jubba Regions.
In 1960 he was sent off to Italy for military training and when he returned he became military police at the 26th division in Woqooyi Galbeed Region.
In 1964, as a lieutenant officer in Bay, he fought off a surprise invasion from Ethiopian forces, he did this with light armour weapons and consequently invaded 15 km into Ethiopia. He represented Somalia at peace talks regarding the border war.
That same year he was decorated with the Medal of Valor by President Aden Abdullah Osman and promoted to the rank of Colonel for his actions. He was then sent off to the prestigious Frunze Military Academy in Moscow, then in the Soviet Union.
In 1969, he refused to take part in a coup with then Major General Siad Barre and as a consequence imprisoned for 6 years after Siad Barre took power. When released he and then Colonel Aideed were given similar administrative jobs at the Fiat Company in Mogadishu.
In 1977, Siad Bare handpicked Abdullahi Yusuf to lead Somalia's elite forces in the Ogaden war. He was given a total of 35000 troops which invaded the Ogaden from the South till they reached their target, Mojo, 70 km south of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital.
After the war was lost, Abdullahi Yusuf and other military officials attempted a coup against Siad Barre in 1978, the coup failed and Abdullahi Yusuf and other officials fled to Kenya. 17 alleged co-conspirators were executed and others were sentenced for a minimum of 20 years.
His actions led to reprisals against his Majeerteen clan, specifically his Omar Mahamud sub-lineage, with over 2000 people dying of thirst after Siad Barre's paramilitary units destroyed their wells. In addition it is estimated that the clan lost 50,000 camels, 10,000 cattle, and 100,000 sheep and goats.
That same year, he founded Somalia's first rebel group, the SSDF, Somali Salvation Democratic Front (then known as DFSS) and it put its base in Ethiopia. Here they used to engage the Somali Army in border skirmishes.
In 1982, SSDF fought the Somali Army in two border towns, seizing it with Ethiopian help. This led to further reprisals against Abdullahi Yusuf's clan. The Ethiopian dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam declared the territories to be part of Ethiopia, creating tensions between the two and Abdullahi Yusuf was subsequently jailed in 1984 for not handing over the territories which Somalia later regained. The SSDF's armed wing was disbanded.
He was released from a prison near Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 1991 after the collapse of the Derg (Haile Mariam's regime). As Somalia also transcended into chaos after the toppling of its dictator Siad Barre, Abdullahi Yusuf returned home to his ancestral homeland in North West Somalia. The SSDF was relaunched and forces loyal to Abdullahi Yusuf captured Northern Mudug, Nugaal and Bari, and later on Sool and Eastern Sanaag.
In Bari and Sanaag regions he fought Al-Itihaad al-Islamiya, a now defunct Islamic militant group led then by Sheikh Dahir Aweys, current member of Al-Shabaab. Both outnumbered and outgunned he and the SSDF rebels managed to expel AIAI forces from the port city of Bosaso and the rugged mountains of Sanaag.
Puntland State of Somalia is then founded in 1998 with the backing of locals, business community and the clan elders, creating a state from Gaalkacyo to Buhoodle. He became the first President of the autonomous region and stayed on the post till 2001 when he lost an election. He regained his seat by toppling Jama Ali Jama which he believed had close ties with the newly formed Transitional National Government, a coalition of former warlords and Siad Barre era officials that wanted to establish a government which eventually ended up failing.
He was elected President of Somalia in 2004 in Nairobi, Kenya. His newly formed government was flew back to Somalia a year and a half later and made Baidoa, the capital of Bay Region, the government's seat due to Mogadishu's safety concerns.
In 2006, Ethiopia invaded with the approval of the Transitional Federal Government amidst an expanding influence from the Islamic Courts union, which seized the capital of Somalia, Mogadishu and large swathes of the south. Ethiopia entered Baidoa, the temporary capital for the government and went onto Mogadishu and toppled the UIC. An insurgency progressed against the Ethiopian forces and they withdrew in 2008 after Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed resigned from his post as President.
He moved abroad due to health reasons, living between Yemen and the United Arab Emirates. He died on the 23rd of March 2012 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The Diocese of Youngstown has issued a statement saying a priest was not wrong for failing to notify police about information he received years ago concerning the molestation of an underage girl.
Michael Parent, 55, of Myrtle Beach, S.C., was sentenced Wednesday by Judge Lou A. D'Apolito of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court to 13 years in prison for raping his stepdaughter for years while living in Mahoning County. The rapes began in 1984 when the girl was 5 and did not end until 1996 when she was almost 18.
The victim, who is now 34, told authorities she went to the Rev. Michael Seifert and spoke about the assaults when she was 15, but the matter was never taken to police.
The diocese, in a press release issued Thursday afternoon, said it was not made aware of the issue or the allegations that Father Seifert did not report what the girl said to authorities until a story appeared in Thursday's Vindicator, but church officials maintain that a priest cannot divulge information given in confidence.
Bishop George V. Murry of the diocese said the priest is duty bound to keep things disclosed to him in confidence.
"Catholics and most non- Catholics realize that the sacredness of the Seal of Confession cannot be broken under any circumstance," Bishop Murry said.
Rev. Monsignor Peter Polando, adjutant judicial vicar of the Diocese of Youngstown, said the issue is addressed in the Code of Canon Law.
"The sacramental seal is invio-lable; therefore it is absolutely forbidden for a confessor to betray in any way a penitent in words or in any manner and for any reason," he quoted from the canon.
Canon law is the body of laws and regulations made by or adopted by an ecclesiastical authority for the government of the Christian organization and its members.
Monsignor Polando also said a priest cannot even acknowledge that a confessor has approached a priest for the sacrament of confession in protection of that sacred seal.
Father Seifert is no longer in Mahoning County, but the diocese made clear in the press release his transfer to a different location had nothing to do with the incident involving this victim.
Father Seifert was transferred in the normal process of reassigning priests within the six-county Diocese of Youngstown, the release said. Father Seifert served as associate pastor of St. Christine Church in Youngstown in 1984. He now pastors parishes in Alliance and Navarre, according to the diocese's website.
Mahoning County Prosecutor Paul J. Gains said Father Seifert is not facing any criminal charges at this time, but his office is researching the matter to see if the priest was bound by law to report the abuse allegations.
"We don't believe that he is a mandatory reporter, but we are looking at the issues to make that determination. ... We just have to really look at the law on this," he said. "The priest has been completely cooperative with the investigation."
Gains said that when questioned by detectives, Father Seifert confirmed that the victim reported the assaults to him.
I don't get this one. Ok, let's say the rapist "confessed" he raped a young kid. And was still doing it. And was going home to do it again that week. And that priest is protected by the church for not reporting?? But this isn't even the rapist confessing. It's the little girl finally working up the nerve to tell someone she thought would help her. She tells the priest what's going on. Mind you, this went on every week. And the priest tells her what? "Sorry, kid, you're Catholic, and the clergy ain't going to get you any help - but keep coming to confession??" Churches gone bankrupt all over the country over this kind of mess, and these priests still getting a pass from the bishops. It wasn't a confession ding dongs, it was a cry for help!
"Catholics and most non- Catholics realize that the sacredness of the Seal of Confession cannot be broken under any circumstance," Bishop Murry said.
After Cain killed his brother Abel, the Lord inquired of Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" "Am I my brother's keeper?" was the question asked by Cain of the Lord.
I guess we have another "Cain" in our diocese. Am I my brother's keeper? Yes, you are George. And you need to re-examine your purpose and that of our church. Your purpose is not to protect the church from lawsuits and conviction of its clergy for complicity to rape. You purpose is to protect those who can't protect themselves from evil. The innocent children who are being abused by any adults who would rape minors.
I just want to give thanks to all whom were involved in this case. If it wasn't for the victim, Rev. Michael Seifert, and everyone else through this entire digusting event my child could have endured more. I am so very thankful that this was all brought out before matters could have became much worse. I was brought up in a Catholic background and I can totally understand where the viewers are coming from. Believe me I don't agree with the confession box , especially when it pertains to something of this nature. However, as a priest he can not go outside that and report such a heinous crime, but yet he had to live with that burden of guilt in his heart. When this all came about, the victim contacted this priest and he was more than helpful. They filed all the proper paper work to the "higher ups", and Rev. Michael Seifert was able to speak. For a man to remember ever detail of this crime after alittle over 20 years should tell us all something. He made his statement and was very helpful!! My child is also a victim from this man, and yes there are charges pending in another state. I just want everyone to please cut down on some of the ignorant comments.
Also, shame on the reporter who put these stories out of context! The victim went to CONFESSION, she did not seek COUNSELING from Rev. Michael Seifert. Or where you not paying attention when this was on trial? I am appalled by this reporter.
I'm kind of confused by this one as well.
If the guy who was doing the raping was in the booth "confessing" that's one thing and I can see the Priest not being able to tell anyone what he confessed to.
But it wasn't - it was the girl that was getting raped and (as far as I can tell) never asked the Priest not to tell anyone. . . did she? If she didn't, it seems to me that the Priest was free to tell anyone he liked about it - including the Police.
I would be really interested to hear what it was that she asked of him and what "advice" he gave her after hearing all this.
Seems to me that this girl was seeking help more than going to confession. If that is the case, why is the priest bound by the rules of confession? Could the church hold that this child was sinful in this and in need of confession? Doesn't make sense.
Well I re-read this again, and it's just not coming any clearer. So they got this sacred seal deal. Ok, I get that. Can't tell a secret. But someone explain how that also excuses not getting this kid some help. There's the seal thing and honoring whatever that is. But I don't see how that prevents putting the bug in someone's ear that this kid might need some looking into. So what if she tells him she's starving and needs some help. Let's say this conversation happens even in that little booth. He has to stay mum on that I guess. But he can't get someone to send over a food basket. Someone explain it to the simple folk like me. Because otherwise, I'm thinking they're using this sacred seal deal to excuse this excuse of a human being who couldn't lift a finger for this kid. No one's asking the guy to betray his seal deal. But Lord knows, sometimes we have to do a work around.

But Lord knows, sometimes we have to do a work around.
Now i'm starting to wonder about the Diocese?
Yes, priests are supposed to be bound by rules except when they themselves are the pedophile. They can't report a crime, give me a break!
Kind of reminds me of what Joe Paterno did. "You were assaulted? Ok just hold on a little bit longer". I grew up Catholic and still don't understand confession. If you do something wrong then apologize straight to God. I never cared for going through a "middleman". Something might get lost in translation.
As Issac Asimov said: "religion had it's place in human infancy". The curtain can now be lifted to show the Catholic Church has -0- zero, nada credibility. These hypocrites are obsessed with abortion and condoms while they xfer these monsters (Knowingly) to other Diocese to ruin lives all over this Country. Religion in general is the root of most evil, divisiveness and war on this Earth. Whether it's the hypocritical enabler of Pedophiles AKA the Catholic hierarchy or the Jews and the Islamic world who raise their kids to hate and kill non believers. It all has one common theme: religion based hate.
Now hold on there bsdtwd. People also act better because of their religious teachings showing the way. Anything involving human beings is going to have its dark sides and idiots. You can't write off religion without giving credit to the best when you're trying to correct the worst. There are bad people who hide behind it, there are idiots who use this or that part of it for an excuse, like what's happened here. And there's plenty of examples of it changing folks and the world for the better. Including me, I hope. Everything christians teach would have led this preacher and this diocese to know that they were obligated to help this poor kid. They didn't. Now they have to hide behind some piece of doctrine, because they think in their own world the rest of us have to buy it. Now that's where the law should come in. Because it wasn't only not a christian thing to do, it was downright negligent. This isn't christianity we're seeing here, and don't mistake that. A decent person, like God expects us to be, would have found a way to help that kid. This diocese part, they're in the business of self protecting their organization. Don't mistake what that's about either.
No way the church is right on is one. The child went to the Preist for help and he did nothing! That is not a confessional privilage. But then again we are talking about the Catholic church and Priests that rape boys. It's because of things like this that the church has a bad name. ANyone else given that information is obligated by law to report it or then they have commited a crime. But hey, that's what religous freedom is all about right? Get out of laws just cry its against my religon. Disgusting.
If a priest is really committed to protecting children, he could certainly get creative about how to handle information about abuse received in confession. For example, if a minor tells him that he/she is being abused, there's nothing to prevent him from telling the child to come to him OUTSIDE OF CONFESSION and repeat the allegations. He could then certainly act.
But you have to really have the desire to protect children, not the reputation of the church....

(Updated: 12:30 p.m.)
This is how it ends: With the weasel of a commissioner not stepping foot in the city, with another season passing without a playoff game, with a lying ownership group maintaining it did all it could to save a franchise that in reality it spent most of seven years wrecking.
Atlanta has lost an NHL expansion team to a Canadian outpost for the second time. The Thrashers are going to Winnipeg just like the Flames went to Calgary in 1980. A press conference was held in Winnipeg, while the Thrashers sent out this warm-and-fuzzy news release: "The Atlanta Thrashers announced today that they have entered into an asset purchase agreement with True North Sports and Entertainment …"
This isn't about the fans or the market or certainly Gary Bettman's fictional "covenant" with fans, which I believe he left in the same sock drawer with his conscience.

Calif. drug raid yields weapon stash
By Harry Harris
OAKLAND, Calif. — Growing and selling marijuana and dealing other drugs out of your house can be dangerous. According to police, Raul Felix Rodriguez was not taking any chances against possible rivals and thieves.
Guns were kept in different rooms of his house at 1009 89th Ave., surveillance cameras monitored the front where a metal gate was also a barrier and three pit bulls roamed the property, police said.

TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks, Atlanta Falcons
TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks, Atlanta Falcons
Sidney Rice, WR, Seattle Seahawks Player Profile Height/Weight: 6-4/202 Birthdate: 9/1/1986 School: South Carolina FANTASY FOOTBALL ANALYSIS If you drafted Rice late in 2012 leagues, you were probably thrilled to get the production you received. Rice hadn't made it through more than 10 games let alone 16 since his breakout season with the Vikings in 2009. That year he nabbed 83 receptions for 1300 yards and 8 scores. In 2013 he caught 50 balls for 750 yards and 7 scores. And I think that's about right for Rice. Does he have better skills than those numbers suggest? Yes, he does, but he's in an offense that runs first and often. The one area I could see improvement would be his touchdown total. He's a big enough threat in the end-zone at 6-4 to score in the double-digits. But I think because of the offensive philosophy, his upside is minimal. Not to mention there will be a new mouth to feed, one that's going to be extremely hungry in Percy Harvin. The one thing that makes us not worr...

After Effects Expression help Jul 2, 13, 3:04 p.m.
I'm trying to follow along with this tutorial on time-based expressions.
I'm stuck on the "Follow Null Template" section towards the bottom next to the blue stars. When I put the script on the null I get an error about not finding the effect named offset. I took a wild guess that the null layer ("template") needed a Slider effect. That didn't work So, I tried naming that effect "offset". No luck either. Here's a screen shot.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Photoshop path fail May 28, 13, 2:35 p.m.
I know you should be able to turn the mode of any path (in this case a vector mask) and make it subtract or intersect instead of the normal masking mode - if you have the pen tool selected and the path selected. Why are those options greyed out in this case? I restarted Photoshop and invented a few profanities but nothing works.

Photoshop CS6 type in a path Feb 28, 13, 7:03 a.m.
It seems like they removed the feature that allows you to put text inside a path. (Not long the path but more like a text box). There use to be a type tool that would fly out in the tools pallet. Or the regular text tool would detect when the mouse was inside the box.
Where did this feature go? For now, I'm doing it in illustrator and exporting a separate PSD from there.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I went here and had a wonderful experience. Cannot wait to send my children here!
The students are allowed to swear and threaten students at sports games without any administration intervening. They also wrote graffiti on a local high school's buildings. Is this the inner city?
Given that this school is a "fundamental" school, the level of parent involvement is awesome. The curriculum is very complete, ranging from remedial classes for children who need extra help, to AP classes for kids who want to be academically challenged. The teachers, for the most part, seem to enjoy their jobs and truly enjoy being around children. The administration is approachable and helpful. There is a tremendous selection of extracurricular activities - more than I have seen at any other high school. The block system is fantastic. I have no complaints and highly recommend this school.
This schools leadership has been a challenge for us as parents. Each year our son has had a teacher whose only interest is in following the curriculm and leaving our son (an honor student) behind. There is no comparison of this school to a nearby HS which is very transparent on their website.
Well , i went to this school, and i absoloutly hated it. The staff is so mean they totally leave you behind and if you dont catch up quick you fail! i mean i reccomend this school for extremly smrt students but for students that need some extra help on difficult stuff like me, do not go there! and plus im not trying to say nothing bad but im mexican and the staff and teachers and students treated me horrible like if i was some kind of animal.? They always ignore me never help me out or nothing i finally spoke to my mom and she switched me i told her i just couldnt take it anymore and seriously i didnt learn nothing what so ever going there i didnt even want to go to school. Oh to top it theres like no african americans nor mexicans nor asians):
Casa has been a wonderful place for my special needs student. They work well with him and his fellow students accept him unlike the other schools we have been to.
XXXXX Four of my children graduated from Casa. They commraderie and school spirit is fantastic, the staff very involved and supportive!
this school has not disappointed me in ANY way. I am so pleased that this was the school our children chose to go to. Parents are involved and students are involved. casa is a great learning EXPERIENCE. thanks,
All 3 of my children graduated from Casa Roble HS. I found the teachers to be attentive, knowledgeable of their subjects, in control of their classrooms and good at engaging students in the learning process. The AP and Honors programs were excellent. I always smile and think fondly of this great school and the good education and friends that my kids had there.
I graduated from Casa in 06. I thoroughly enjoyed the honors and AP program there, I found it to be challenging without burning me out before even leaving for college. For those saying the teachers or staff were unresponsive, I find myself surprised. I worked closely with several teachers, be it through clubs or Site council, and I found them always ready to listen or to lend a hand. I think Casa is a good, solid start for any college. They provide materials each year that tell you what classes are required by state schools, and a counseling session to try and guide you towards the right goals for college. I highly reccomend this school for your children. Also, the extracurriculars really are amazing! An awesome auto shop, a good FFA program, and tons of art classes, as well as foods and foreign languages.
If your child must suffer thru four years at a California public school, this is a good one. Many extra-curricular activities are offered. Their athletics program is top-notch. The block system is good preparation for the rigors of college. Communication with the educators is good. Overall I quite pleased with the school.
This school is a really good school. The teachers and administration really do care for the kids. There are also a variety of classes but do not offer as many AP classes as other schools. The sports are one of our greatest strengths and our extracurricular activities are wonderful too. Parents are pretty involved. As to prep for college, it's up to every individual to seek the help they may need or get into the AVID program.
They teachers and staff seemed very unattentive and to not even care about my childs education. I think it can be a good school for children that are already very smart but for children that need some extra help its awful.
This is a really good school. I think the block schedule helps students in many disciplines by allowing them to focus for longer periods. There are tons of activities available for the students - everything from ROTC, raising animals, wood shop, auto shop, art, music, and even drama. Not just sports. This school has helped prepare my son to enter a four year college.
The quality of academic programs is okay but could be more advanced and have better AP classes ..Casa only offers 3 AP classes ..The avalibility of ex. activities is very broad which is good ..casa parents are really invovled
While this school is considered college prepatory, it fails to truly provide the resources and academic support to follow through with this title. The school lacks the appropriate counselors to aid students through the transition to college/university level studies. Many students graduate lacking the appropriate prepatory courses, missing key deadlines for applications, and facing the harsh realilty of year/s of remedial courses at junior colleges to 'catch up' with peers. While this school feels like a safe positive environment, the acamedics leave much to be desired.
This school failed my child in every way. the staff and teachers offer little communication or assistance in finding resources for student educational improvement. As parents we were not informed of any problems in my child's performance until he was failing most of his classes, and then the info was too late in the quarter for anything to be done to improve the grades before report cards. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!
wow, this is an A+ school. It involves students and parents at all levels. I have been so pleased to be a part of this fundamental high school. They are a down-to-earth school with so much to offer. I feel lucky to be able to send my children there.
Casa is a wonderful school for kids that love to be educated. The block schedule helps students fit in as many academic courses as they want or need. My own daughter appreciates the block schedule because you can take up to two math classes in the same year so that you can get as far ahead as possible in high school. This school also offers many good honors classes and AP classes as well as foreign languages, fine arts, and sports. Although, if your student does not do well moving quickly, he or she might have trouble for a little while.
Casa Roble is one of the top school in the area of Sacramento, with a very good focus in academics and great opportunities for students to get involved in clubs and Extracurricular activities. Casa is athletically competitive and produces some of the brightest students in California.

Raspberry ketones help the body increase its secretion of adiponectin, a hormone protein that boosts metabolism and burns body fat more efficiently. Easy Directions: Take one dropper twice daily.

HARRISON CO., Ind. -- The 11-month-old that was critically injured in a crossover accident in Harrison County, Ind. last week died on Wednesday, Dec. 18, according to an official at Kosair Children's Hospital.
The Harrison County coroner said 23-year-old Tory Krueguer was on his back to Missouri from Viriginia when the accident happened in Indiana and led to his death.
Krueguer served in the United States Navy and was based in Virginia.
Police said on Thursday, Dec. 13, that Krueger was driving his Nissan westbound on Interstate 64 and, for unknown reasons, crossed the median. The Nissan was t-boned by a SUV carrying a grandmother, a mother and her two children.
Two-year-old Merissa Summer was also killed and the 11-month-old was pronounced dead on Dec. 18. Krueger was pronounced dead at the scene.

The San Antonio Chapter of the American Red Cross issued the following update at 5:30 p.m. CST:
The American Red Cross stands ready and willing to assist following a magnitude 8.9 earthquake in Japan and the resulting tsunami that affected other countries in the Pacific region.
The Japanese Red Cross Society has extraordinary disaster response capabilities, and has mobilized eleven teams to heavily-damaged communities to provide assessments and first aid and prepare to supply emotional support and relief. The American Red Cross is in communication through its global partners with the Pacific nations that sustained the most damage, and stands ready to provide assistance as needed. To date, the Red Cross has not received any requests for blood from the Japanese Red Cross, the Japanese government of the United States State Department.
With potential danger headed to the west coast of the United States, Red Cross chapters are on alert and stand ready to provide assistance as needed in their communities in coordination with local and federal response partners. Red Cross warehouses in Saipan (Northern Mariana Islands), California, Washington and Hawaii are mobilizing resources; and approximately 100 mobile feeding vehicles are on standby. Evacuation shelters are open with additional locations on standby in Oregon, Washington and California. The Red Cross does not collect blood in Hawaii but has reached out to other blood collection agencies to offer services

Conditioning in Youth Soccer:

Below are some recommended reading materials to help further your knowledge on soccer specific fitness training:

Coaching Females in Soccer
This weeks 'hot topic' is on the DO's and DONT's of coaching females in soccer.
For any of you out there who have coached boys AND girls, we all know there is a big difference in the psychological and management aspect of coaching each gender. Whilst you may be able to use a firmer and more straight talking approach with boys; girls will need a lot more reasoning, communication and a lot of positive reinforcement. Mia Hamm, the ex-woman's national team forward once said: "coach us like men, but treat us like woman."
Please find attached a short article on the DO's and DONT's of coaching girls from the NSCAA Soccer Journal. You will see the article discusses the importance of using positive reinforcement, positive feedback and communicating openly.
As coaches we need to foster an environment where female players feel confident; aren't afraid of making mistakes; can think for themselves and make positive decisions and have the ability to set and attain achievable goals. Attached is a short article form UK Elite Soccer regarding the use of 'Positive Self Talk' and 'Mental Imagery' and how it can assist a players confidence and performance, not only females, but ALL soccer players.
Finally, one of the most successful woman's coaches of all time -Tony DiCicco - lead the USA Woman's National Team to an Olympic Gold Medal as well as winning the FIFA Woman's World Cup. He wrote a fantastic book on the methods of coaching females in soccer, it is definitely a book all girls coaches should read. You can purchase the below book on Amazon: 'Catch Them Being Good - Everything you need to know to successfully coach girls' - Tony DiCicco and Colleen Hacker

Modern Christian Men Should Be Old-Fashioned Manly
In the modern world, men can be seen as sitting in two distinct sections; the 'manly' and the 'weak', the 'jocks' and the 'nerds' or the 'sexists' and 'feminists'. I could continue with another hundred options, but you get the gist: you're either the pathetic, flannel-wearing, hippy type or you're the muscular, bullying, working-out type.
Even though almost everyone is in the middle, people assume men are either the cast of Jersey Shore or the cast of The Big Bang Theory. Women suffer from the slut/boring paradigm, and we suffer from that. How is it possible that someone could be both strong and intelligent, both sensitive and confident, both gallant and valiant – both a stud and a student?
Ok, that last one was a touch too much. But I like the semi-pun, so roll with it. Modern men are similar to the two parties in the USA: they're either gun-shooting idiots who hate foreigners and think that women should stay in the kitchen or cannabis-smoking unemployed idiots who love communism and writing poetry. Modern Christian men, across the world, tend to fit into those two camps; the ones who think that Jesus wanted us to buy guns and the ones who think that Jesus wanted us to buy drugs. Neither is a sensible portrayal.
Biblically, the men that we should aspire to be like are portrayed as being fallible humans with a heart for God. David, though he slept with his neighbour and killed her husband, was someone who sought to spend time praying and praising. Solomon may have been the wisest man in the world and spent his days seeking greater wisdom, but he had a ridiculous number of wives. Elisha was a spiritual man who set bears on young people. And I could talk at length about the moral of each story, but I won't.
Instead, I'll pick up on the story of Daniel, who stood fearless in the face of death and was steadfast in doing what he knew to be right. He prayed when they made it illegal to pray, and he asked for kosher food when he wasn't provided with some, and he ultimately wasn't afraid to be thrown into a pit with some lions, just as his friends weren't afraid to be cast into a furnace (Daniel chapters 6 and 3). He was as manly as the Prisoners of War in Colditz, refusing to bow to his leaders and ultimately being called on for help by superiors whilst held captive in a foreign land.
No, Christians shouldn't be weak or sexist but should be confident in what they do – they should be rugged and dauntless as 'manly men' were a hundred years ago, but they should also be moral and valiant as 'gentlemen' were a hundred years ago. Even Valentine's name translates as "strong" – and his name is associated with romance across the planet.
Jesus was the ultimate man, and modern Christians should learn how to be as manly as him: a man who continually embarrassed and confronted the important men of his time (Mark 3:4-5, Luke 11:42) and refuted Satan (Matthew 4), suffered an horrific torture and death without complaint and served others at all times.
Help the needy, love your girlfriend, serve your housemates, do your homework, quit whining and be willing to stand up for what you believe in. Be yourself, as God intended, instead of trying to fit in with a group of mates. Be courageous, vigilant and pure in though – because, actually, that's properly manly.
And if you don't believe me, ask any woman.

Are you tired of watching your children struggle in school? Are you fed up with yourself for getting overwhelmed and can't move on because your brain shuts off? Brain Integration corrects the foundation of the processing abilities and gets rid of all your compensation patterns and coping mechanisms. It relieves the stress on the pathways so things seem to flow a lot easier. This therapy is for adults and children. As an adult, if you find yourself not able to process your emotions, feel stuck, having a problems with memory, you are a candidate for this therapy. You can not afford not to have the foundation of your brain rewired. It will help you process life itself.
Brain Integration is recommended for the
Correction of:
- Specific Learning Difficulties
- ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia
- Memory Problems
- Stress Management
- Optimizing Brain Functions for Children and Adults
To Improve:
- Learning Ability
- Creativity
- Physical Coordination
- Job Performance
Crossinology Brain Integration (BIT) , "unlocks" blocked learning pathways. Based on the principles of applied physiology and acupuncture, Brain Integration is a comprehensive system of procedures that improve learning ability, comprehension, memory and physical coordination. In essence, BIT pinpoints blockages and then reconnects the electromagnetic fibers of the corpus callosum (the brain's "switchboard") that affect learning.
Brain Integration works well when used in conjunction with learning situations and therapies that include tutors, psychologists and health professionals. BIT specifically unblocks pathways that affect learning, motivation and performance.
Stress Adversely Alters Brain Function
The human brain performs extremely complicated electromagnetic functions. Like any other organ, it can suffer from stress from varying causes including anxiety, fear, trauma, or injury. When under stress, the brain's blood supply is redirected to support 'fight or flight' in the body, and the logic and/ or creative centers simply shut down. When this happens, the synchronization of the brain function is lost, resulting in the inability to think clearly. We can blame ourselves for not trying harder, or worse, not being intelligent enough, when the true culprit is stress. All too often we lose confidence and eventually learn to 'turn off' instead of welcoming new experiences.

18CW: 119.5 GW:110Doing this the right way.
Was one of the bets times I've had in a while. Went to a party a guy from class invited me to at his house. He's so freaking hot. Hippy dude, with the hair and all.
We hooked up, and boy was it great. But he's so thin and in such good shape. I need to remotivate. I'm miserable.
Got a recruitment email for this music fest a few towns over. They need help with bands signing autographs, somebody to direct and control the crowd. But some of my favorite bands will be there. Let's hope I get the call back!!!
Said the reason he's been flakey is because he doesn't want to date.
But he still has feelings for me.
I said to fuck off.
Eating soft foods has helped me lose.
But I feel gross. No activity has drained me completely.
I'm just feeling really sorry for myself.
I want to be healthy, curvy but thin.
I want my ribs and collar bones to show, but not to lose my chest and butt.
I want clothes to look good on me, but I want to look better naked.
Let's do this!
…my body is "as tight as a little tiger." Odd choice of words, maybe, but I'll take it. :)
And when I made it back, everybody was playing volleyball so I joined. Such a good workout day!
We went for sushi, and had a few drinks over dinner. Then migrated to a more casual bar for more drinks. And met up with his frat brothers at the local fratty hangout, Loose Change. I felt so good that he wanted to introduce me to everybody. He kept his hands on my knee or my back and gave me kisses on the cheek every once in a while in front of everybody. Ahhh I am in major like.
I like it.
Planning on 2 more tonight.
I have been AWFUL to myself lately. Time to whip my butt into shape.
No fucking way am I running in this. I DO NOT have a death wish.
