the changing of communion wafers into divine fleshWhile (arguably) only Catholics profess transubstantiation, it's not the case that it's "just Catholics" who profess "the changing of communion wafers into divine flesh". Certainly the Orthodox also believe this and so do many liturgical Protestants (e.g. some Anglicans).
That's just Catholics (transubstantiation), not all Christians.

And I put down the old D.A.R.
I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy
I hope every colored boy becomes a star
But don't talk about revolution
That's going a little bit too far
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
I read New Republic and Nation
I've learned to take every view
You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden
I feel like I'm almost a Jew
But when it comes to times like Korea
There's no one more red, white and blue
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
belief that one's religion prohibits abortion or stem-cell research does not doctrinally imply any of those other positions. It does imply that the creed the person adheres to is conservative, illiberal and right-wingSince I figured you meant the latter rather than the former, I wrote "I think this is badly phrased"

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.posted by orthogonality at 8:27 PM on March 30, 2011 [1 favorite]
I had also hoped that the white moderate would reject the myth concerning time in relation to the struggle for freedom. I have just received a letter from a white brother in Texas. He writes: "All Christians know that the colored people will receive equal rights eventually, but it is possible that you are in too great a religious hurry. It has taken Christianity almost two thousand years to accomplish what it has. The teachings of Christ take time to come to earth." Such an attitude stems from a tragic misconception of time, from the strangely irrational notion that there is something in the very flow of time that will inevitably cure all ills. Actually, time itself is neutral; it can be used either destructively or constructively. More and more I feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than have the people of good will. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.
So often the contemporary church is a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. So often it is an archdefender of the status quo. Par from being disturbed by the presence of the church, the power structure of the average community is consoled by the church's silent and often even vocal sanction of things as they are.Some Christian preacher said that.
But the judgment of God is upon the church as never before. If today's church does not recapture the sacrificial spirit of the early church, it will lose its authenticity, forfeit the loyalty of millions, and be dismissed as an irrelevant social club with no meaning for the twentieth century. Every day I meet young people whose disappointment with the church has turned into outright disgust.
Perhaps I have once again been too optimistic. Is organized religion too inextricably bound to the status quo to save our nation and the world? Perhaps I must turn my faith to the inner spiritual church, the church within the church, as the true ecclesia and the hope of the world. But again I am thankful to God that some noble souls from the ranks of organized religion have broken loose from the paralyzing chains of conformity and joined us as active partners in the struggle for freedom, They have left their secure congregations and walked the streets of Albany, Georgia, with us. They have gone down the highways of the South on tortuous rides for freedom. Yes, they have gone to jail with us. Some have been dismissed from their churches, have lost the support of their bishops and fellow ministers. But they have acted in the faith that right defeated is stronger than evil triumphant. Their witness has been the spiritual salt that has preserved the true meaning of the gospel in these troubled times. They have carved a tunnel of hope through the dark mountain of disappointment.
I hope the church as a whole will meet the challenge of this decisive hour. But even if the church does not come to the aid of justice, I have no despair about the future. I have no fear about the outcome of our struggle in Birmingham, even if our motives are at present misunderstood. We will reach the goal of freedom in Birmingham, and all over the nation, because the goal of America is freedom.
The practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching. Therefore self-avowed practicing homosexuals1 are not to be certified as candidates, ordained as ministers, or appointed to serve in The United Methodist Church.Now, that is clearly discrimination against LGBT people, but it's not a prohibition on them serving as ministers unless a monastery requiring that its monks not be married is an explicit prohibition on heterosexual people joining, which it's not.

Prince George's County Sights
Surratt House Museum
Surratt House Museum Review
The Surratt House Museum, once a house and tavern, is where John Wilkes Booth sought refuge after assassinating President Lincoln. For her role in the conspiracy, Mary Surratt became the first woman to be executed by the federal government. She was said to have told one of her tenants to get the "shooting irons ready" for Booth as he was fleeing after the assassination. You can trace Booth's escape route on an electronic map at the visitor center. Costumed docents give tours of the house, talk about 19th-century life in Prince George's County, and discuss the Civil War, but they won't get into debates about Surratt's innocence or guilt. The Surratt Society sponsors a 12-hour John Wilkes Booth escape route tour in April and September that covers the 12 days Booth spent on the run in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC.

I have a feeling Corvette Forum members can come up with some compelling commentary about this photo of a Corvette towing a helicopter.
There's nothing that gets me more excited than hearing about Corvettes setting new performance records. Nothing. Well, aside from having the opportunity to witness it first-hand.
Do you try to come up with clever ways to affix a front license plate at the risk of damaging your Corvette and its looks, or do you just deal with the possibility of getting pulled over for not having one?
It's no secret that despite the appeal of the Corvette as an everyday sports car, it has a cherished legacy in the world of racing as well. Look no further than the new C7.R, which has been heating up this year's GT Le Mans series, for proof of that.
How do you top buying your girlfriend a 2014 Corvette Stingray? Add more power of course. That's exactly what a guy from Texas did for his girlfriend, Pattie, after surprising her last year with a C7 for her birthday.

I am writing my MSc thesis at the moment, and am trying to do it in docbook - the same way I'm trying to write the PN documentation (slowly!). Transforming docbook into PDF takes an impressive toolchain, XML & XSL -> XSL:FO -> PDF = XML editor, docbook stylesheets, xsltproc, fop (java + xalan + saxon + apache fop). Just a couple of tools, you might think - but they took me ages to collect and configure into a working setup.
I'm trying to write this explanation to keep a note for myself on how I did things. The various sections are in no particular order, so my apologies if it seems to be a ramble.
You can get xsltproc for windows from the website referenced in the References section. You need to retrieve libxml2 (which contains libxml2.dll, xmlcatalog.exe and xmllint.exe), libxslt (libxslt.dll, libexslt.dll and xsltproc.exe), iconv and zlib. Download all the zips, and extract the .dll and .exe files. These are scattered around the bin and lib directories inside the zip files.
To transform the DocBook XML into XSL:FO XML (for later conversion to PDF), you need to get the DocBook XSL stylesheets. These need to be extracted and stored in a sensible location on your hard-disk.
FOP is the tool from the Apache XML project that converts from an XSL:FO formatted XML file (a file full of layout instructions) into other formats such as PDF. FOP is a java tool so you'll need a Java runtime. I downloaded the binary version, and also needed to download JAI in order to get picture insertion working. You need to install JAI and then the FOP tool will pick it up automatically. The FOP site also references something called JIMI but I couldn't get this working.
If you're not really into the world of XML (I feel like I know a good bit about it, and am barely scratching the surface compared to many others) then you may not really know a lot about DTDs, schemas and catalogs. Simply put, the DTD and Schema things are often used by the tools listed above to validate XML content - they define a contract for the content of XML files. If you just run these tools without a catalog, then they will attempt to retrieve these contract files from the internet. This takes a long time and really slows down the conversion process.
It took me ages to work out how to get catalogs to work properly with xsltproc, there was no windows documentation so I pieced it together from e-mails and snippets found using google.
This shows how to create a simple catalog that points to a local copy of the docbook DTD. First you need to download the DTDs, which there are links to in the references section below. I suggest placing them in a directory structure like:
xml\docbook\4.3\dtd <-- DTDs for docbook 4.3 in here
The DTDs are referenced in the xml files you are working with by a reference name, like for example:
-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.3//EN. The catalog mechanism works by mapping from this reference to a file on your disk.
Here is a simple catalog file containing a mapping for this DTD:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE catalog PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD Entity Resolution XML Catalog V1.0//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/release/1.0/catalog.dtd"> <catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog"> <public publicId="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.3//EN" uri="file:///c:/xml/docbook/4.3/dtd/docbookx.dtd"/> </catalog>
Note that you can also map previous versions of the requested DTD onto the newer version by mapping the old IDs to the new files.
Under Linux, xsltproc looks for a catalog in the default location of /etc/xml/catalog (or something similar). No alternative default is offered on Windows. Therefore, to point xsltproc at your catalog you must set the XML_CATALOG_FILES environment variable. This allows a space-separated list of filenames to be used.
From the command prompt:
set XML_CATALOG_FILES=c:\xml\catalog.xml
you can also set this through the system properties control panel application. Once this is set, xsltproc will load your catalog file and use it to resolve the DTDs.
If you think this isn't working properly, you can view debug information relating to the use of the catalog by defining an environment variable like this:
set XML_DEBUG_CATALOG=1
You will now see lots more information about resolution when running xsltproc.
This post gives a bit of information about how to get the environment set up. I'll hopefully have time to write a bit about using all these tools as well in another pose.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Acne Health Center
Alternative Treatments for Acne
Often people with acne turn to complementary or alternative treatments. These may include gels, creams, and lotions; dietary supplements and herbs; and special dietary routines.
Many people swear by alternative acne treatments. But the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) that "all-natural supplements" have not been shown to be effective, and some may even be harmful. For example, the group cites an over-the-counter (OTC) acne supplement that contained more than 200 times the amount of selenium stated on the label. It caused a wide range of toxic reactions. The AAD also states that there is no evidence that any dietary regimen has an effect on acne.

Read the Acne Rosacea article > >
Alternative acne treatments haven't been well-studied. Therefore, sources such as the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database typically offer only tepid recommendations. For instance, oral zinc supplements are rated as only "possibly effective." The same is true for topical preparations that contain zinc and erythromycin. Until there is better research, it's impossible to say which alternative acne treatments work and which ones don't.
The Rationale for Alternative Acne Treatments
Conventional acne treatments don't always work for some people. They can also cause side effects ranging from skin irritation to birth defects. Another concern, since antibiotics are used in so many conventional acne treatments, is antibiotic resistance. A study in the U.K. reported that more than one out of every two acne patients treated with antibiotics carried resistant strains of two different bacteria often found on the skin.
Proponents of alternative treatments point out that acne is unknown in so-called "Stone Age" societies. On the other hand, it affects up to 95% of adolescents in industrialized societies. This suggests, they say, that a Western diet may be a major factor in the development of acne.
Hundreds of alternative treatments for acne are promoted on the Internet and elsewhere as being safe and effective. Alternative treatments, though, do not need to be tested and shown to be safe before they are sold online or placed on store shelves in the U.S. So be sure to discuss the pros and cons of any alternative remedy with your doctor or dermatologist before starting treatment.
Research is not conclusive, but some preliminary studies suggest that the following alternative acne treatments might offer some benefits.
Manuka Honey
Manuka honey comes from New Zealand where the manuka bush is indigenous. So-called "active" manuka honey is widely promoted on the Internet as an acne remedy. The claim is mostly based on studies that suggest it has significant antibacterial and wound-healing properties.
In one study, researchers observed that honey-impregnated wound dressings have gained increasing acceptance in hospitals and clinics worldwide. But they also pointed out it's unclear how they work. So they investigated the ability of three different types of honey to quench the production of free radicals. In their report, they stated that manuka honey was the most effective.
On the Internet, patient testimonials about manuka honey's effects on acne range from glowing to dismissive. To date, however, there have been no definitive studies to prove or disprove the effectiveness of manuka honey.

Robert Mckiernan, who resides at the home where the incident happened, has been accused of shooting Radasa.
He fled but was later found at the Marshall Hospital where he was arrested after receiving treatment for minor injuries.
Investigators said Radasa, who is from Citrus Heights, arrived in Placerville to visit his daughter, who is Mckiernan's girlfriend.
Police provided no information about the cause of the shooting.

Welcome to the new decade! This is my 36th Newgrounds release. Burnt Face Man is back after a 2 year hiatus in this slightly longer than usual episode. See him face the perils of a dirty pigeon, a master impersonator and the mighty Rockhead Rumple.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars January 21, 2010
Not bad but..
There were too many new ideas in this episode, you should have just repackaged some stuff from older episodes in a slightly different way
Should I? That sounds like a strange suggestion.

Stonewell Pan - 24cm
Everyone knows that the best pizzas and bread are cooked in stone ovens, and some of the most expensive restaurants now cook on stone plates to get the finest flavour out of food.
Now you can enjoy this culinary experience by re-creating the traditional taste of hot stone cooking – this is Stonewell.
Cooking with the Stonewell pan helps the natural flavours of your foods come out, giving you authentic stone cooking meal after delicious meal.
Stonewell is made up of tiny stone particles bonded together to form a solid stone surface that stores the heat and gradually releases it to the food, allowing you to cook at lower temperatures that cook your food evenly and just right, while locking in the flavour, for that one-of-a-kind traditional taste of stone cooking.
And because almost nothing sticks to Stonewell, virtually no butter, oil, or grease is required so all you taste is the natural flavour of the food. Even gooey melted cheese won't stick! Your meals are healthy, tasty and clean up is simple! One wipe, and you're done!
Stonewell cooks on - gas, induction, glass-top and electric.

Why Ford's (F) Stock Is Up Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Ford Motor Co.
(F) is up 3.2% to $16.10 in early trading Tuesday.
This early bump follows Ford's report that unit sales in March were up 3.3% to 194,000 vehicles sold, eclipsing the consensus analysts estimate of a 1.1% gain.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Stocks
STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
Sales of the motor company's Ford Fusion model were especially robust in March, up 9% to 32,963. That number represents the all time high for sales of the mid-size sedan which hasn't sold 30,000 vehicles in a month since its debut in October 2005.
The mid-size sedan market is the largest segment of the U.S. automarket.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 5.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 3.6%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 187.25% to $315.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, FORD MOTOR CO has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 31.31%.
- FORD MOTOR CO reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. However, we anticipate underperformance relative to this pattern in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, FORD MOTOR CO increased its bottom line by earning $1.75 versus $1.42 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 22.0% in earnings ($1.37 versus $1.75).

As director of in Highland Park, Kathy Gallegos has curated hundreds of art shows in her career. Few of them have been as challenging to bring together as the one that will open at the Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Village in Boyle Heights on Friday, June 29.
Local Color, which features images of the Eastside created by local artists, was assembled for a very special audience--children and elders who are currently going through the medical center's Violence Intervention and Community-based Assessment and Treatment Center (VIP).
Gallegos explained that many of the young people who are going through the program have been the victims of abuse, oftentimes by those who are closest to them.
For Gallegos--who was enlisted to curate the show by VIP Director Dr. Astrid Heger--the challenge of assembling Local Color was in finding pieces that would evoke broad, positive emotions while avoiding images and themes that would remind them of their painful past.
Heger said the Violence Intervention Program recently moved into its current building after years of having its various facilities scattered about the LAC-USC campus.
In moving into the new building--formerly the hospital's outpatient clinic--Heger said her goal was to make the facility more user friendly.
It's a goal Gallegos has helped her achieved "beyond expectations."
"I think it's phenomenal," she said. "Just gorgeous."
Sitting inside Avenue 50 Studio's Annex on a recent afternoon, surrounded by participating artists Margaret Garcia, Stuart Rappaport and Raoul De la Sota, Gallegos remembered having to say 'no' to almost at least one piece by everyone who contributed to the lobby's transformation.
Images of mothers would remind the children in the program of what they've lost, Gallegos said, and a painting of man with his hand raised could recall an abusive father or uncle.
"It was difficult for me, because I'm all about pain," Gallegos said. "Art is therapy."
Instead, the collected images come together to provide the children with a sense of place. There's an image of a a palm tree rising above a graffitied wall and lush green hills. In another other painting, flowers bloom in saturated tones.
One prominently featured image is that of a young girl playing guitar--her face focused in concentration.
For De la Sota, who said he rarely thinks about his audience when painting, the Local Color exhibition has caused him to think about the life of his work after it leaves his studio.
"This is the first show I've been where the purpose has been something other than simply creating something that is visually appealing," he said. "I'm really glad to be a part of this show, because how people respond to the pieces really matter."
For Garcia, who is adamant about the importance of accentuating the positive in her own work, finding an appropriate piece for the exhibit wasn't difficult.
A survivor of an abusive relationship herself, Garcia said the positive tone in her work reflects a conscious decision to move beyond the painful events in her past.
"You go through pain, you let it go, then you have to pick it back up sometimes. You have to be reminded of the positive stuff. If you only focus on the poisonous stuff, you'll never move past it. You can't keep doing the victim stuff," she said. "What I hope my work manifests is that there's life beyond victimization, and that's hopefully what art helps them find."
The Local Color Artist Reception will be held on Friday, June 29, 2012, 6-8 pm at the LAC+USC—The Medical Village at 2010 Zonal Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90033.

Recapping a wild and wacky Saturday of baseball
7/21/13 in MLB | Eric_ | 7716 respect
Seattle 4, Houston 2 Astros starter Erik Bedard was taken out of the game after 6 1/3 innings of no-hit ball. However, thanks in part to 5 walks Bedard had given up two runs and the game was tied at 2. Reliever Jose Cisnero walked a man, then got another out, then Michael Saunders hit this double to score two runs. That provided the winning runs for Seattle...and was their only hit of the game. Erik Bedard did not give up a hit, but get the loss. Weird, weird game.
N.Y. Yankees 5, Boston 2 Hiroki Kuroda was quietly excellent again (7 IP, 2 ER), the offense rapped 10 hits off John Lackey, and Chris Stewart did this.
Cincinnati 5, Pittsburgh 4 The Reds scored four in the 1st, but a bases loaded walk by Joey Votto in the 6th ended up being the winning run.
L.A. Dodgers 3, Washington 1 (10 innings) The Dodgers are half game out of first now after Hanley Ramirez doubled in the 10th to score Gonzalez to put them ahead, then later scored on an Ethier sac fly. The Nationals are below .500 again.
L.A. Angels 2, Oakland 0 CJ Wilson is starting to feel it again. He was 2 outs away from a complete game shutout before being pulled.
Tampa Bay 4, Toronto 3 After the game, Mark Buehrle was quoted, "Maybe we were overrated. Maybe we aren't as good as we thought we were." Buehrle's pitching put the Jays down 4-0 before they slowly came back, but it ended with runners on 2nd and 3rd in the 9th.
San Francisco 4, Arizona 3 5 innings and 2 earned runs doesn't seem like much, but it's a start for Matt Cain. Straight center field blasts by Buster Posey help too.
Kansas City 6, Detroit 5 The Royals got to Justin Verlander for all 6 runs in 5 2/3 innings. Even the eternally struggling Mike Moustakas got in on the act, hitting a huge homer. Really, here's the video proof. The Royals are now only 6 games out.
N.Y. Mets 5, Philadelphia 4 A 5-2 Mets lead in the 9th got interesting after a two-run Chase Utley homer, then a Dominic Brown double. Luckily for Mets' fans' psyches, Darin Ruf lined out to end it.
Baltimore 7, Texas 4 O's lead 7-0 after three innings, as Miguel Gonzalez held off the Rangers with just 1 run in 6 2/3. Tommy Hunter then gave up three in the 8th to make an interesting, then Jim Johnson put two on in the 9th to get the tying run to the plate. Having spiked my blood pressure enough for one evening, Johnson finished the game off, albeit much more thorny than originally expected.
San Diego 5, St. Louis 3 The Padres led 4-0 after three, and held off the Cardinals offense just enough.
Minnesota 3, Cleveland 2 All the runs came in the 6th. The Indians scored on a Jason Kipnis homer. The Twins scored three with the help of defense like this.
Chicago White Sox 10, Atlanta 6 The White Sox offense wakes up for once, led by this grand slam by Alex Rios.
Colorado 9, Chicago Cubs 3 Todd Helton 3 hits, Troy Tulowitzki 2 hits, Carlos Gonzalez a homer. No problems in beating the Cubs.
Milwaukee 6, Miami 0 The game went a lot better for the Brewers than the spelling of Ron Roenicke's uniform.

30 October 2008, TODAY
Point of View
I refer to 'We are a power service provider' and 'Tariff revision no benefit to power generation companies' (Oct 28). I commend both Singapore Power and Energy Market Authority for their replies. While their explanations are clear as to who undertakes what role in the complicated matter of supply of electricity to Singaporeans, unfortunately, at the end of the day, we are still as confused as ever as to the reasons why our rates are so much higher than those in Hong Kong . Any party care to reply to this simple question?
Chan Chong Leong
Reply From EMA
In TODAY's Point of View (30 Oct 2008), Mr Chan Chong Leong asked why Singapore had a higher electricity tariff than Hong Kong.
The main reason is that the fuel we use for power generation is more expensive. In particular, fuel charges make up 19 cents per kilowatt-hour of the overall electricity tariff in Singapore, but just 5 cents per kilowatt-hour in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong enjoys this significant cost advantage in fuel largely because more than half of its electricity is generated from coal-fired power plants. Coal is cheaper than oil and natural gas, but it is also a dirtier fuel. Hence, the price of this heavy reliance on coal is felt in the impact on air pollution and quality of life. Another ten percent of Hong Kong's electricity comes from nuclear power plants in China which are unaffected by the high global oil price.
In contrast, Singapore's electricity is generated predominantly using imported natural gas, which is indexed to the fuel oil price by commercial contracts. We also do not have a ready source of low-cost energy supplies from our neighbours.
Any comparison of electricity prices across jurisdictions will have to take into account these variations in fuel mix and supply. In fact, our electricity tariff is lower than or comparable to that of countries such as Ireland and Japan which, like Singapore, are highly dependent on imported oil and natural gas to meet their electricity needs.

The Spring Hill Police Department has issued a warning after a suspicious incident involving a woman in a black van, possibly trying to lure children.Saturday afternoon, two girls were walking to a friend's house at the corner of Chapman's Crossings and Locerbie Circle when they spotted the van. It was parked at the end of the street which backs up to a wooded area. The woman tried to talk to the girls, ages nine and 10.According to police, she said her name was Daphney. She then made a comment about the weather. The woman then told the girls to come talk to her and said she wouldn't hurt them.The children felt they could be in danger so they ran away and told their parents. By the time the parents came back, the van was gone.Police sent a warning to residents via email and text message.Spring Hill Det. Mike Foster said it's a good time for parents to talk to their children about stranger danger. "Kids will forget from year to year so especially with it being warmer weather and more kids going to be out, there's a lot more opportunity for people that want to prey on kids to take advantage of it," said Det. Foster.The driver is described as a young white woman with dark hair. She was driving a newer model black van. No other similar incidents have been reported to police.
