2017 is here!!
Jayme snapping a quick New Years Eve pic of us |
We hung out quietly at home together that evening while we brought in the New Year, feeling thankful for our family, and for our blessings. |
Later on that evening, We also made it to another favorite place of ours before the day ended... bringing in the NEW year right!! |
I love how the snow clumped up on the branches. On this particular snowy, January morning, we found ourselves at the Mt Timpanogos temple. Was such a great day. |
Later that first January week, We found ourselves back at the gym again, we had taken a week or so off, so we decided it was time to head back over there |
I'm not quite as enthusiastic as Jay, haha! |
January also brought a fun celebration day at my work. We decided to decorate our co-worker's office since it was her 10 year anniversary there ! |
"We solemnly swear... we are up to no good!" |
We decided to use the Harry Potter theme! |
She was so surprised and so happy !! |
We hung quotes on all the doors in her office |
We have SUCH a great time at work |
Another FUN office I have been making many visits to the past couple of months is my brother's office! I LOVE that he has fresh baked cookies to give the patients after their appointments! |
We ended our night with cold stone. That is also a heaven on earth experience! |
With Ryan and Donna's family in town we decided we had better have a party! We ran over to Mike and Barbara's house for the gathering. We decided to take pics to send to Elder Graf too ! |
A few random work days... |
This is a picture Trey and his friends took of their freezing scout campout. Yes, it was that cold. eeek |
But they had fun like usual! |
This is my partner in crime at work! And January was over...just like that. Looking forward to more of our new year of 2017... or as Jay named it, "upward and onward" ! |

iVillage, the largest content-driven community for women on the Web, and Penton's New Hope Natural Media have unveiled new research proving a majority of women are more focused than ever on buying healthy foods. The study shows that women are scrutinizing labels for ingredients such as high fiber, reduced fat, and low sodium and are staying away from additives such as high fructose corn syrup.
The survey was conducted online within the United States by Penton Research on behalf of iVillage and New Hope Natural Media between February 15 and 24, 2010 among 4,898 iVillage members age 18+. The results suggest that women's increasing concern about their own and their family's health is driving them to change their food choices and take control of their nutrition. Findings include:
• 73% say they read labels carefully as they are concerned about specific additives such as high fructose corn syrup• Approximately 50% look for specific health benefits such as high fiber, reduced fat, and low sodium rather than general claims that food is "organic" or "natural"• 71% are very interested in buying healthy products at mainstream grocers—a trend that should encourage such retailers to devote more shelf space to healthy and organic products• While 57% believe organic food is better for them, only 26% will actually go out of their way to purchase it• 39% find that time is the biggest impediment to eating right, closely followed by willpower and motivation

Jeff Mitchell wins the 5th Annual SLO Brew Karaoke Contest!By GLEN STARKEY
It's Friday, Aug. 1, and I'm watching, dumbfounded, as more and more people are streaming into SLO Brew for the karaoke contest! Seriously, there's a ton of people vying for a chance to be the king or queen of karaoke! Who knew? Manning the judging table with me are disc jockeys Jeff and Jeremy from KZOZ and Suzanne, who's on a bunch of American General Media stations including The Krush. Since I have to concentrate on the singing, my wife Anna is doing photography duty. Thanks, honey! You're the best! Jeremy leans over as he's eyeing the crowds coming in and says, "It's about to look like the bar scene from Star Wars in here."
True that! These budding performers come in all stripes. After things settle down and everyone who wants to enter has had a chance to throw their tickets in the tin Corona bucket, Brotha "C," our emcee, starts drawing names, one after another, until there are 15 excited, quivering contestants across the stage. First up is Jeremy Heller, who delivers a solid version of Audioslave's "Like a Stone." The crowd's really supportive of all these performers, maybe because, before the competition began, Brotha "C" reminded everyone that it takes guts to get up in front of a bunch of strangers and sing your heart out. I wouldn't want to do it!
After 14 more performers, our scorekeeper Suzanne does some math while Brotha "C" entertains the crowd by performing karaoke with various members of the audience he's pulled up on stage. Soon we've culled the participants down to the top four—Jeff Mitchell, a blonde gal named Adria who didn't provide a last name, Carlli Ruiz, and Tori Roper—but as promised, a fifth wildcard contestant is picked from the bucket, Mr. Andres Arevalo. After another round of shots of event sponsor American Born Moonshine, we're ready for round two! Andres leads it off with a ripping version of Mötley Crüe's "Girls, Girls, Girls," and like the good sport that he is, fellow contestant Jeff Mitchell goes out into the audience and encourages five girls to get on stage with Andres as he sings. Pretty awesome moment! Adria follows up with an effective version of Queen's "Somebody to Love," then Carlli takes on Amy Winehouse's "Rehab," followed by Tori singing Tracy Chapman's "Give Me One Reason," with Jeff ending round two with Guns N' Roses' "Paradise City."
These performers clearly find a lot of joy in singing at the top of their lungs for a crowd just shy of 200. After some quick calculations, the final two are … Tori Roper and Jeff Mitchell! One of these two performers is just a song away from shoving five hundred bucks in his or her pocket! Jeff unleashes an emotionally charged version of Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorns," followed by Tori's bumping version of Keyshia Cole's "Let It Go." It's anyone's contest, a real nail biter! Brotha "C" gets both contestants on stage, builds the tension, and then reveals the winner … and it's Jeff Mitchell! When he gets off the stage, I congratulate him and tell him he was really channeling his inner Jack Black out there.
"I love Jack Black!" he gushes. "He's one of my heroes!" "So how does it feel to win?" I ask. "It feels awesome, dude!" he says, and I can tell he means it! Glen Starkey takes a beating and keeps on bleating. Keep up with him via twitter at twitter.com/glenstarkey, friend him at facebook.com/glenstarkey or myspace.com/glenstarkey, or contact him at email@example.com. |

NJ - Court ruling ends sex offender-free zones
Labels: NewJersey
I have inserted "sex offender" into the title, since this reporter seems to think the laws are all about pedophiles, which is wrong! I have also emailed the author about his misleading title.
By MARK ROSMAN (email@example.com)
Municipalities are told that N.J.'s Megan's Law is the final word on subject
Four years ago Manalapan, Marlboro, Freehold Township and other communities throughout New Jersey began enacting laws that limited the places in town where a convicted sex offender could live.
The thought behind the laws was to prohibit convicted sex offenders from living near schools, parks, day care centers and other locations where children congregate. The local laws prohibited a convicted sex offender from living within a certain distance from those locations — generally 1,000 to 2,500 feet.
On May 7 the New Jersey Supreme Court rendered those laws obsolete.
The state's highest court upheld a 2008 Appellate Division ruling that said New Jersey municipalities cannot impose residency restrictions on convicted sex offenders. The court said New Jersey's Megan's Law is the only law that may deal with convicted sex offenders.
Megan's Law established guidelines that require persons who have been convicted of sexual offenses to register with law enforcement agencies when they move into a community.
Based on what is called the offender's tier rating, school administrators and residents may be advised of the person's presence in the community. In some instances only police have the knowledge that a sex offender is living in the municipality.
It will now be up to state legislators to determine if the scope of Megan's Law should be expanded to limit where in a municipality a convicted sex offender may live.
The Appellate Division's ruling stemmed from litigation that had been brought by several individuals against Galloway Township and Cherry Hill. The appeals panel rejected those towns' laws that prohibited convicted sex offenders from living within 2,500 feet of any school, park, playground or day care center.
In rendering its decision, the three judge appellate panel found that Megan's Law was "pervasive and comprehensive" and should be the only law that dictates sex offender registration, notification, reintegration and rehabilitation.
The Supreme Court upheld the Appellate Division's ruling.
Before the case had advanced to the Appellate Division of the Superior Court, a state Superior Court overturned the local laws in Galloway Township and Cherry Hill. The municipalities appealed and lost their case.
In response to the Supreme Court's decision on May 7, state Sen. Bill Baroni (Contact) (RMercer and Middlesex), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said, "Today the Supreme Court told local municipalities they don't have the power to protect their children, but they are wrong. Local municipalities were acting in good faith by implementing laws to protect children from sex offenders. A unanimous ruling of the court now prevents towns from defending their most vulnerable citizens from predators."
- More grandstanding. If you have a state law, then that should be sufficient. When you have every town passing their own laws, it becomes a nightmare.
"This ruling further demonstrates how out of touch the Supreme Court is with the needs of families in New Jersey. The Legislature needs to act immediately to allow towns to implement common-sense measures to protect children from sexual predators," Baroni said.
- I think it shows how "out of touch" you are, and how you like to grandstand to make yourself look good to the people.
In 2005 in Manalapan, a law was enacted that sought to restrict where convicted sex offenders would be permitted to live and it also addressed the length of time that convicted sex offenders would be permitted to loiter in certain locations.
In one instance in which a convicted sex offender indicated that he might challenge that local law, the individual moved out of Manalapan before doing so.
Stuart Moskovitz was Manalapan's municipal attorney in 2005 and drafted the final version of the ordinance that became law.
He reacted to the Supreme Court's ruling by saying, "Actually, a number of these ordinances were declared improper several years ago. (Manalapan's) held up because we carefully drafted it to keep it alive as long as possible. At the time I expressed concerns to the Township Committee about the constitutionality of any such ordinance, but a federal court in Iowa had indicated that, written properly, such an ordinance would pass constitutional muster."
"I refused to add things that (some people) wanted which would have made it impossible for the ordinance to have survived, such as (banning convicted sex offenders from living near) school bus stops. The result was that our ordinance survived while many others had failed and led to our being one of the very few municipalities in the area that actually relied on the ordinance. You may recall one resident was forced to relocate. My job, of course, was to write what the Township Committee wanted written. I did that in a way that allowed the ordinance to survive long after others failed. That they have all been declared unconstitutional is consistent with the advice I originally gave to the Township Committee," Moskovitz said.
ND - Issues in Mental Health: Sexual abuse: Understanding the perpetrator, protecting your family
Labels: Addiction , NorthDakota
By Greg Volk, PsyD - Volk Human Services
It may be appropriate to issue a warning that reading this section of the article may challenge your preconceived notions, lead to intense emotions, and cause a great deal of discussion. That is good because talking about sexual perpetrators is difficult and necessary. Most people are of the mindset that society should castrate them (if they are male) and/or ship them off to a remote island somewhere in the middle of the ocean. While this mindset is understandable, it only serves to perpetuate the illusion that offenders are somehow inhuman and can be isolated effectively from society. The reality is that approximately 85 percent of all sexual offenders will be back in the communities from which they came or ones that are similar. Given this number, understanding and treating sexual offenders can be considered to be the number one prevention effort in the area of sexual abuse, particularly when one considers that successful treatment outcomes for sex offenders reduce re-offense rates in the neighborhood of 40 percent for adults and 85 percent for youth. These success rates are higher than many other treatment interventions including that for addictions. Why then is treatment for these offenders so rare?
In many situations, it is because people are so strongly offended themselves by the offenses that it is impossible to be objective and provide the necessary treatment. We prefer to think of sexual offenders as monsters because it makes them so much different than you and I. This is another false belief that can cause individuals to ignore the realities of sexual abuse and miss key warning signs such as those discussed in Part One. There is no profile that categorizes sexual offenders specifically, they come from all walks of life. They are not typically the "dirty old man" down the street.
More commonly, it is a seemingly upstanding person who is already involved in your life. Clergy, partners, school personnel, youth leaders, and others who have a reason to be actively involved in your child's life are the most likely perpetrators of abuse. Anyone who takes an unusual interest in your child or for whom your child demonstrates some hesitance should be suspect.
Individuals who have adult love interests and seem to gravitate toward children of the same age and gender should be suspect. However, it is awareness, not fear that should guide your understanding.
There are many factors that contribute to the sexual abuse of children. When looking at perpetrators, there are specific factors at which to look.
Pedophiles have a particular sexual attraction to prepubescent children but may also maintain age-appropriate sexual relationships. However, pedophiles are by no means the only perpetrators of sexual offenses, or even sexual offenses toward children. In thinking of pedophiles there are prerequisite factors that combine with other factors to result in child sexual abuse.
These prerequisite factors are sexual arousal to children, distorted thinking, impulse control deficits, diminished capacity, and interpersonal problems.
The other factors which may contribute to abuse occurring include patriarchal attitudes, values regarding sexuality, marital discord, sexual dysfunction in the marriage, inadequate parenting, social isolation, unsupervised access to children, unemployment, substance abuse, poor social skills, low self-esteem, traumatic sexual experience as a child, sexually abusive role models, and a non-nurturing childhood.
Male offenders often fit two broad profiles - regressed or situational offenders and fixated or preferential offenders. Regressed or situational offenders generally have more profound social skill deficits and problematic upbringings that contribute to identification with children. They tend to be opportunistic in offending. They may seek relationships with more age-appropriate individuals but struggle with them. Fixated or preferential offenders have a stronger identification with children that is driven by specific sexual arousal toward children primarily and their pursuit of sexual contact with children is often more aggressive and predatory. Female offenders tend to fall into one of several categories including experimenters who are young and typically offend against 2-4 year old males, teachers/lovers who begin as a caretaker and fails to see the behavior as abusive, predisposed individuals with their own history of abusive (often lengthy) and who pair nurturing behaviors with abuse, and male-coerced offenders who engage in the sexually abusive behavior through the intimidation of a male partner.
From a treatment perspective, we want to intervene with offenders by providing information regarding normal and appropriate sexuality, fostering the development of empathy, decreasing cognitive distortions, reducing access to potential targets, bolstering social skills and self-esteem, and advocating for factors that reduce risk including stable employment, stable housing, and social support. In working with sexual offenders, the primary client is always the community being aware of potential risk to the community is on the forefront of any effort. At times, what decreases risk is counter-intuitive to common thoughts and beliefs and this is why this topic is so important.
For example, the offender registration process and laws such as those which prevent offenders from living within a certain radius of places where children congregate are meant to increase community safety, but in fact do not accomplish this and in many ways actually serve to increase risk to children.
The increased risk results from offenders failing to register and adopting more transitory living arrangements to avoid confinement and the adverse effect of this additional stress on psychosocial functioning. Offenders who have guidelines on their presence in places where children congregate but who do not have a residency restriction tend to be more stable in the community and the overall risk is reduced and the ability to supervise the offenders in the community is increased. Another seemingly counter-intuitive issue is related to incarceration. Particularly with youth and younger adults, incarceration can increase the risk of re-offense for individuals who are primarily driven by social skills deficits rather than antisocial attitudes.
Statistics from North Dakota indicate that low and moderate risk offenders tend to have significantly fewer incidents of re-offense when given probation versus incarceration. The primary distinction for those who evaluate and treat offenders is the determination of risk because high risk offenders do have a profoundly higher risk of reoffending if on probation instead of incarceration. From a societal perspective, it is a difficult issue to know that for many offenders probation can more effectively reduce risk than incarceration when you have children and families who have suffered as a result of the offenders actions and want some type of strong consequence.
In terms of protecting our children, it is important to think of prevention as the deflection of perpetrators getting access to our children rather than detecting perpetrators since detection is nearly impossible. Probably the single most important thing that you can do is to be involved in your child's life. Do not leave your child at events such as sports practices or other extra-curricular activities. You should attend these events as well in order to monitor the quality of relationships the leaders have with your child, others who may be around and take an interest in the children, and situations in which your child might be unattended. Not only does this provide the protection of your direct observation, it also provides your child with your much needed attention.
Other high risk situations include leaving your children with men who do not have children of their own or at least children of the same age group as your own; leaving your children with men who do not appear to have many or any adult relationships; individuals who provide special gifts to your child or invite them on special outings with them; unsupervised screen time on the internet; and being a single or divorced mother looking for a relationship.
Low risk situations that you can be aware of and further decrease risk include putting pictures of your children in your workspace if the public comes to your office; not having access to a cell phone including while you are sleeping; and not having a security system in your home. You should replace locks when your keys are lost or stolen and you might consider owning a dog.
As a psychologist, I advocate for children and others to be involved in activities such as awareness skills, social development, and the martial arts which are conducive to the development of self-esteem, awareness, and defensive skills. For children in particular, the training can be invaluable in terms of self-confidence, understanding how to protect yourself if attacked, and the development of both discipline and awareness. Predators look for children who will be an easy target. Rather than instilling fear with notions such as stranger danger, it can be of more benefit to have children who exude confidence and have the support and attention of their family. These children are visibly noticing their surroundings, communicate well, and are confident in social environments - all factors that are protective against sexual offenders. Children who are withdrawn or shy, unquestioningly obedient to adults, and who are frequent without direct adult supervision are targets.
If you would like more information about this issue or others related to psychological development, please call Dr. Volk at 662-1911 or toll-free at 1-877-846-4554.

NY - Senator Shirley Huntley talks about drug offenders, getting back into society
Not RSO related, but I find it ironic they say this about drug users, but when it comes to sex offenders...
VT - Editorial: Sex offender residency limits offer no security
Labels: Vermont
The challenge against the Barre City ordinance restricting where registered sex offenders may live was almost inevitable given the raft of questions about individual rights and due process involved.
The residency restrictions are a perfectly understandable attempt to keep the community safe from a truly heinous crime, yet deeply troubling in that it seeks to punish even people who have served their sentences and are meeting all conditions imposed by the court.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which brought the suit on behalf of a man ordered to leave his apartment with his family or face a daily fine, also argues that there is no proof that keeping registered sex offenders from living in the neighborhood had any impact on the safety of that area.
A day after the suit was filed, Barre granted _____ a reprieve, allowing him to stay in the apartment without incurring the daily fine for up to 60 days while the court weighs the issue.
The idea that residency restrictions do little to reduce the threat from sex offenders is even included in Vermont's toughened sex offender law signed by Gov. Douglas (Contact) this year. That calls into question the whole purpose of the Barre ordinance. An ineffective measure that only makes us feel safer against crime is worse than taking no measure at all.
The Barre ordinance prohibits sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of a school, park or day care center. That renders much of the city off limits to sex offenders. The message is clear: Send them packing.
So, where does _____ go?
Give him a bus ticket to St. Johnsbury, or Burlington? How about Calais? Certainly not Rutland which also restricts where registered sex offenders may live.
Unless we are ready to keep such individuals in government-maintained safe houses for life, we have no choice but to find a room for them in town somewhere.
The good officials of Barre are correct in wanting to protect their residents. This is not the way to do it.

AL - Wenonah High mother on quest to outlaw teacher-student sex (A mother, trying to outlaw consensual sex!)
Labels: Alabama , Punishment
By MARIE LEECH
Regina Fuller thought she had an open-and-shut case against one of her son's teachers at Wenonah High School.
She had cell phone and text message records dating back at least a year between the two of them, some of them sexually explicit.
Fuller filed a police report and was told a detective would contact her. Several weeks went by, no call.
"I finally called them and they told me they couldn't do anything because my son was 17 at the time," Fuller said.
In Alabama, the law allows consensual sex as long as both parties are at least 16 years old, said Brandon Falls, a district attorney in Jefferson County's 10th Judicial Circuit Court. That means teachers and other school employees can legally have consensual sex with students older than 15, and will not face criminal punishment, he said.
The most a teacher or administrator could face if the sex is consensual is administrative punishment, which could lead to revocation of their teaching license, educators say.
The teacher, Fuller said, "was allowed to resign and the whole thing just fell under the radar. Meanwhile, she can go get another job in another school system and nobody will know they are hiring a sexual predator."
- I don't think two adults having sex is considered a sexual predator.
The Birmingham school system allowed the teacher to resign in February and said officials' hands are tied.
"We filed a police report and we reported it to the state Department of Education," said interim Superintendent Barbara Allen. "Beyond that, there's nothing more we can do. It's out of our hands."
Legislators are trying to change what some call the "Sweet 16 Loophole" that frequently means teachers who engage in inappropriate behavior with students suffer little or no punishment.
House Bill 810, passed by the House of Representatives last week, now awaits consideration in the Senate before the legislature adjourns this week. The bill, sponsored by Speaker Pro Tempore Demetrius Newton, D-Birmingham, would make it a crime for a teacher or school employee to engage in a sex act with a student age 19 or younger.
Teachers or school employees caught having a sexual relationship with a student would not be able to use the teen's consent as a defense.
"The public needs to understand there is a huge loophole in the law," said Ronald Jackson, executive director of the grassroots group Citizens for Better Schools. Jackson got involved when he was contacted by Fuller and has been pushing lawmakers to get the new law passed.
- I don't think something that lets two consenting adults have sex, is a "loophole!"
"The real problem is all the secrecy that surrounds this," he said. "Right now, the public is blind as to whether a teacher has had sexual misconduct with a student. We want the state to make those instances public, whether the employee has criminal charges against them or not."
Most serious:
A 2004 study commissioned by the U.S. Department of Education found that nearly 10 percent of U.S. public school students have received unwanted sexual attention from school employees.
The report, "Educator Sexual Misconduct: A Synthesis of Existing Literature," said that more than 4.5 million students are subject to sexual misconduct by an employee of a school sometime between kindergarten and 12th grade.
- So how many of those are of the age of consent? You can't count them, IMO!
From 2001 to 2005, the Alabama Department of Education reported more than 60 teachers had their teacher certificates revoked for sexual misconduct.
Larry Craven, general counsel for the state Department of Education, sexual encounters among teachers and students is not tolerated in schools regardless of age.
"It is the most serious thing we deal with," he said. "There is no more serious charge or allegation that we hear."
When an allegation is made of a sexual encounter involving a teacher and student, Craven said, the state investigates the matter regardless of whether criminal charges have been filed.
The problem is, he said, without criminal charges, these cases can be difficult to prove.
"We've had victims over 16 who refused to testify because, for some reason, they had some sort of emotions for their teacher," Craven said. "If we don't have any evidence, we don't have a case."
- This is just pure insanity! 16 is of the age of consent, so it's two adults having sex!
If the case can be proven, the teacher's license will be revoked, he said.
Craven said he deals with an average of 15 to 20 cases a year involving allegations of sexual misconduct involving teachers and students.
"The vast majority of our teachers have no criminal history," he said. "They are good teachers."
- And more than 90% of all sex crimes being committed, are by those NOT on the registry! The registry is just a punishment tool, to make them wear a Scarlett Letter for the rest of their lives, like in the old witch hunt days!
Fuller said she has a hard time trusting any teachers these days.
"You do everything you can to protect your children," she said. "You tell them to respect their teachers. I feel like my son been violated and my quest to keep my child safe has been violated."
- Why don't you ask him if he feels the same way?
Awfully suspicious:
Fuller was contacted in November by Wenonah High School Principal Regina Carr-Hunter, who told her there was a rumor circulating about her son and his teacher having sexual relations.
Carr-Hunter asked Fuller if she believed there was some truth to it. At the time, Fuller said she just couldn't and things seemed ordinary at home.
But things came to a head in the Fuller household when her son came home at 3 a.m. on a school night in December. He came to her room to apologize, but Fuller was already livid.
Making things worse, his cell phone rang mid-apology.
"It was his teacher calling him at 3 in the morning," she said. "I found that awfully suspicious and started going through his cell phone."
She came across the text messages and had her son's cell phone carrier release records dating back a year.
Armed with that information, she marched her son, the records and his cell phone up to the school.
"During that meeting, I was assured (the teacher) would be arrested," she said. "My son had been violated. It was unethical and immoral."
- I bet he doesn't feel the same way!
Fuller doesn't just blame his teacher, however. Her son is partially to blame, she said, and he isn't being forthcoming with information.
"I didn't raise my son to be a liar. I teach my kids to walk with their shoulders up and their head up. But his spirit is hung down," Fuller said of her son, who is graduating this month. "Not only does he know I'm disappointed in him, but he's disappointed in himself."
NC - Bill to expand penalty for school sex offenders
Labels: NorthCarolina , Video
By Loretta Boniti
RALEIGH – A state lawmaker is working to keep students safe from sex offenders at school even if the student is no longer considered a minor.
- Well, if the person is not a registered sex offender and if both are 18 and older, then what is the problem? This is consensual sex!
Rep. Bruce Goforth (Email), D-Buncombe County, says he believes school officials who take indecent liberties with students should be placed on the sex offender registry, despite the student's age.
- How is it considered "indecent liberties" when it may be two adults having sex?
Goforth told a House committee Monday that as the law stands right now, if a teacher, resource officer or coach has a relationship with a legal age high school student, it is often not considered a felony and therefore not an offense that qualifies for the registry.
"There has been a lot of indecent liberties with children around the state and a lot of people have been pleaded down with the ages of 17, 18 and 19 to misdemeanors and they are not required to sign the sex registry," Goforth said.
- Someone who is of the age of consent, is an ADULT, not a child! Hell, why don't you just ban all sex, period! Then people like you can quit procreating!
Education officials say they are on board with anything to keep students safer at schools. But they do have some precautions of their own already in place.
"The state laws of North Carolina now require any local school district to send to us any criminal history of any teacher," says June Atkinson, N.C. superintendent of public instruction.
Atkinson says even if teachers aren't placed on the sex offender registry for their actions with a student, there are steps the state can take to keep them out of the classroom.
"We have the authority to revoke a teacher's license based on any criminal activity, and typically we revoke anywhere from 20 to 35 teacher licenses a year," Atkinson said.
Goforth said he's not sure these steps are enough. He said nothing is too much to keep kids safe.
- You are an idiot, who is just grandstanding. Someone over the age of consent, IS NOT A CHILD!!!
"As schools go into the hire mode, they need to know who's out there," Goforth said.
This bill passed the judicial committee on a unanimous vote. It is now heading to the House floor for consideration.
FL - A false alarm puts scare into sex victims
Labels: Florida
By CAROL MARBIN MILLER
Thousands of Floridians were mistakenly warned that sex offenders were no longer on the state's registry that tracks their whereabouts.
Eleven thousand Floridians -- many of them recovering victims of sexual assaults -- were notified over the weekend that the state would no longer be tracking registered sex offenders whose whereabouts concerned them.
As it turned out, the e-mailed notifications were sent out by mistake.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement, which tracks the movement of about 40,000 registered sex offenders and predators, sent out 11,000 e-mails beginning Saturday afternoon notifying Floridians that individuals on the sex offender registry had been removed from the list. Some of the notifications went to victims of sexual assault who follow their assailants through the registry.
The e-mails were sent in error, said Michael Morrison, an FDLE spokesman in Tallahassee.
Though FDLE tried to alert everyone who received the original notification that the alerts were erroneous, not everyone got the word.
Ivette Gonzalez, a Miami prosecutor, said she received an anxious phone call Saturday from a woman whose ex-husband she prosecuted. The offender had sexually abused a girl his then-wife was raising. The woman did not want her ex-husband to go to prison, but was insistent that he be on the Sex Offender Registry, Gonzalez said.
"She was pretty upset," Gonzalez said. She said, "You told me he would be a registered sex offender. What is this e-mail I'm getting?"
The conversation left Gonzalez upset as well, she said. As a prosecutor, "your integrity is everything," and Gonzalez was concerned she had made a promise that was not kept. By Monday, she was able to inform the woman the alert was just a mistake.
Since the alerts went out, the FDLE received 10 phone calls and 20 e-mails from Floridians anxious about the whereabouts of a particular offender or predator, said Kristen Perezluha, an FDLE spokeswoman in Tallahassee.
As of Monday evening, the FDLE had not completely resolved the problem, nor identified exactly what went wrong, Perezluha said. The agency was planning to send out another e-mail to everyone who received the original alert Saturday afternoon informing them that the notifications were a mistake.
The FDLE registry, which formally tracks the movement of convicted sex offenders, was not affected by the computer mishap in any way, Perezluha said. "It was just a glitch of the e-mail system, and it did not affect the registry," she said.
- A glitch? I don't buy that at all!
"Still, we are working to determine what happened, why the alerts were sent out, and what needs to be done so that it doesn't happen again," she added.
The original notifications were three paragraphs long, and contained the names and dates of birth of the offenders of interest.
"An offender is removed from the registry when no longer required to register under conditions specified by Florida Statute," the alert said. "No further e-mail notifications will be generated concerning this individual unless the individual qualifies for listing with the registry in the future."
The second e-mails said: "Due to a technical issue, the Florida Alert System may have sent you an automated message in error today stating that a registrant is no longer required to register. Again, this message was an error and does not reflect the current registration status or requirements of this registrant."
"Immediate steps are being taken to address this issue with the alert system and prevent any further such erroneous alert messages from being sent," the notification added. "We apologize for any confusion or concern this may have caused."
One of the alerts was sent Saturday to Lauren Book (Ron Book's daughter), who as a child was molested by her nanny, and later discussed the ordeal openly. Book now operates an educational foundation, Lauren's Kids, that offers seminars and workshops that encourage children to immediately report sexual abuse to their parents or authorities.
Book's abuser, _____, was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment for the five years she molested Book, beginning at age 12. Another 10 years were added to her sentence when _____ flouted a judge's order to have no contact with Book.
Book was reluctant to criticize administrators of the state's sex offender registry, who have been vigilant in informing her of changes in _____' status. But she added that administrators of the registry waited too long before they corrected the mistaken alerts, and left others hanging altogether by not informing them of the error.
"I just wish they had put something out sooner, so that other people didn't worry, or weren't so afraid," Book said. "The not knowing is scary, especially if you are not in counseling."
NC - Church among activities off limits to sex offenders
Labels: Church , NorthCarolina
By Jordan Schrader
RALEIGH – If they want to repent their sins, sex offenders in Buncombe County and elsewhere had better do it at home.
- A direct violation of the First Amendment of the US Constitution!
Some church services are among the activities that are off limits because of tough restrictions on registered sex offenders' movements, passed all but unanimously last year by state lawmakers who invoked a young girl's tragic murder.
- Notice the first paragraph, then this one. Seems this reporter is trying to scare offenders from going to church at all, but, the statement above says "some services," not all are banned, which makes sense. But he needs that scary article title to reel people in.
This week, though, the General Assembly will likely start to rethink a ban that keeps sex offenders from going within 300 feet of a place "intended primarily for the use, care or supervision of minors."
Questions have come up about whether this rule applies to a church with a nursery, a hospital with a pediatrics unit, a store like Wal-Mart with a toy aisle or an eatery like McDonald's with a play area, Rep. Rick Glazier (Email) said.
"I think there's increasingly an argument that a lot of what we did is unconstitutional," said Glazier, a Fayetteville Democrat.
The process of undoing it could start as soon as today. Glazier, along with Rep. Bruce Goforth (Email), an Asheville Democrat, and others, have introduced a bill proposing a number of changes in sex-offender laws. Most of them will be put on hold for now, Glazier said, but they will try to move ahead with changes in the 300-foot rule.
Legislators will try to meet a deadline of Thursday for a vote in the House, making a committee vote today likely.
Arrested for churchgoing
The American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina has received two reports of men being arrested for going to church, said Sarah Preston, a lobbyist for the group.
Another man complained he couldn't go to the library, Preston said. Unemployed, he wanted to use the library for job hunting, but it had a children's section.
More than 270 sex offenders live in Buncombe County, where sheriff's Lt. Ross Dillingham said 10-12 churches have called the sheriff's office about the law.
Sex offenders cannot attend North Asheville Baptist Church services when they're held at North Buncombe High School, Dillingham said. They're banned from school property.
The law is tough for sheriffs to interpret because there have been no court rulings in the state, Transylvania County Sheriff David Mahoney said. In Georgia this year, a federal judge blocked a similar state law.
"I suppose that if we were to receive a complaint … I think we would have to just really go by the letter of the law," Mahoney said. "If that means it's at McDonald's, then so be it."
Unintended consequence
Goforth, among the most vocal advocates in the legislature for sex-offender restrictions, said the far-reaching ban was an unintended consequence.
"We want them in church to try to turn their lives toward Christ," Goforth said, so "they would no longer prey on society."
- Not all "prey on society!"
Known as Jessica's Law, a set of restrictions that took effect in December was named in honor of a 9-year-old who was kidnapped, raped and buried alive by a registered sex offender in 2005 after moving to Florida from Gaston County.
The law was sponsored by Rep. Julia Howard (Email), a Mocksville Republican who is now among the legislators pushing for a change. The law's other main backers were also Republicans, including then-Rep. Charles Thomas of Arden.
It set a number of restrictions that are not being considered for rollback, notably a mandate of at least 25 years in prison and lifetime electronic monitoring for raping a child.
Grier Weeks, director of the National Association to Protect Children, said the debate highlights the fact that such laws are ineffective because they can't be enforced.
The most serious offenders should be in prison or on probation, where they can be monitored, Weeks said.
- Do you think a "serious offender," who is out on probation and/or parole, cannot commit another crime, if those chose to?
"If somebody is sexually dangerous to children, you absolutely want to keep them from going where children congregate," he said, "but the only effective way to do that is to have teeth in it."
Other sex offender bills
Even as they rethink some restrictions on sex offenders, legislators are moving to add more. Bills moving through the legislature would:
- So when will enough laws be enough? Every single year they are changing things, making offenders, police and everyone else' life harder. How can you enforce something that changes constantly?
- Require school employees convicted of taking indecent liberties with a student to register as a sex offender. Introduced by Rep. Bruce Goforth, D-Buncombe. (Why is this needed? If someone, regardless of them being a teacher, commits a sex crime, then they should be punished. So why is a separate law needed for teachers? And what if the student is an "adult," 18 or older? If they convict the teacher, then what about bosses and employees?)
- Keep registered sex offenders off juries. (Why? Do you prevent other felons off juries? I think you do, so why make another law specifically for sex offenders? So you can grandstand?)
- Keep offenders from driving buses with children on them.
- Keep them from being EMS personnel. Authored by Rep. Carolyn Justus (Email), R-Henderson, the bill passed the House unanimously last week. (So what about policement, fire fighters, etc?)
MA - Call for stricter sexual offender registry (Now the state wants to take away State Licenses)
Labels: Massachusetts , Video
View the article here
Worcester - Republican State Representative Karyn Polito (Email) has spent much of her political career fighting for tougher legislation when it comes to sex offenders in the Bay State.
Now, she is taking that fight a step further after learning a man convicted of groping a teenage girl and exposing himself on the MBTA Green Line still holds a state license to sell real estate.
"When it comes to holding a license, that's a privilege," Polito said.
- You could consider anything a "privilege!"
She's drafting legislation that would expand the list of crimes requiring offenders to register with the state -- it would also bar those offenders from getting any professional state license.
According to Polito, under Massachusetts law, this situation would only require the man to register as a sex offender if he were convicted of a second or subsequent offense.
Polito said her legislation -- if passed -- would change that.
"This would prevent the using of loopholes on arbitrary bases with the sex offender registry system," Polito said.
Worcester defense attorney Michael Erlich said he supports strict penalties, but he says- blanket legislation could backfire and get in the way of the court's ability to prosecute offenders.
"When you have minimum mandatory requirements it takes away the ability to negotiate- best for everyone - especially young children," Erlich said.
Polito said those children are at the forefront of her legislation.

The Place Photo service, part of the Google Places API Web Service, is a read-only API that allows you to add high quality photographic content to your application. The Place Photo service gives you access to the millions of photos stored in the Places and Google+ Local database. When you get place information using a Place Details request, photo references will be returned for relevant photographic content. The Nearby Search and Text Search requests also return a single photo reference per place, when relevant. Using the Photo service you can then access the referenced photos and resize the image to the optimal size for your application.
Photo References
All requests to the Place Photo service must include a photoreference
returned in the response to a Nearby Search, Text Search, or Place Details
request. The response to these requests will contain a photos[]
field if the
place has related photographic content.
Note: The number of photos returned varies by request.
- A Nearby Search or a Text Search will return at most one
element in the array. - Radar Searches do not return any photo information.
- A Details request will return up to ten
Each photo
element will contain the following fields:
— a string used to identify the photo when you perform a Photo request.height
— the maximum height of the image.width
— the maximum width of the image.html_attributions[]
— contains any required attributions. This field will always be present, but may be empty.
Photos returned by the Photo service are sourced from a variety of locations,
including business owners and Google+ users contributed photos. In most cases,
these photos can be used without attribution, or will have the required
attribution included as a part of the image. However, if the returned photo
element includes a value in the html_attributions
field, you will have to
include the additional attribution in your application wherever you display
the image.
An example of a photos[]
array is shown below.
"photos" : [
"html_attributions" : [],
"height" : 853,
"width" : 1280,
"photo_reference" : "CnRvAAAAwMpdHeWlXl-lH0vp7lez4znKPIWSWvgvZFISdKx45AwJVP1Qp37YOrH7sqHMJ8C-vBDC546decipPHchJhHZL94RcTUfPa1jWzo-rSHaTlbNtjh-N68RkcToUCuY9v2HNpo5mziqkir37WU8FJEqVBIQ4k938TI3e7bf8xq-uwDZcxoUbO_ZJzPxremiQurAYzCTwRhE_V0"
Place Photo Requests
A Place Photo request is an HTTP URL of the following form:
Certain parameters are required to initiate a search request. As is standard
in URLs, all parameters are separated using the ampersand (&
) character. The
list of parameters and their possible values are enumerated below.
Required parameters
— Your application's API key. This key identifies your application for purposes of quota management. See Get a key for more information.photoreference
— A string identifier that uniquely identifies a photo. Photo references are returned from either a Place Search or Place Details request.maxheight
— Specifies the maximum desired height or width, in pixels, of the image returned by the Place Photos service. If the image is smaller than the values specified, the original image will be returned. If the image is larger in either dimension, it will be scaled to match the smaller of the two dimensions, restricted to its original aspect ratio. Both themaxheight
properties accept an integer between 1 and 1600.
An example request is shown below. This request will return the referenced image, resizing it so that it is at most 400 pixels wide.
Place Photo Response
The response of a successful Place Photo request will be an image. The type of the image will depend upon the type of the originally submitted photo.
If your request exceeds your available quota, the server will return an HTTP 403 status and display the below image to indicate that the quota has been exceeded:
If the server is unable to understand your request, it will return HTTP 400 status, which indicates an invalid request. The most common reasons why you might see an invalid request include:
- The submitted photo reference was incorrectly specified.
- Your request did not include either a
Error Messages
When the Places service returns an HTTP 400 status,
there may be an additional error_message
field within the
response object. This field contains more detailed information about
the reasons behind the status code.
The sensor
The Google Places API Web Service previously required that you include the
parameter to indicate whether your application used a
sensor to determine the user's location. This parameter is no longer

Oregon Estate Planning Attorneys
Simple, and Not So Simple - Estate Planning
When you meet with your estate planning attorney at Harris Law Firm, you will learn that our philosophy about estate planning encompasses more than the distribution of property at your demise. It also includes: Creating a comprehensive plan for health care decisions in the event of a mental or physical incapacity prior to death; Perhaps drafting a Living Trust or inter-vivos gifts (gifts made to your heirs while you are still alive) to avoid or lessen the costs of a probate or avoid inheritance taxes. Estate planning with Harris Law Firm includes whatever makes the most sense for you.
Visit our Elder Law specific page for information about Medicaid, Medicare, Elder Abuse, Long Term Care Planning, Grandparent Rights, Nursing Home issues, Social Security, Advanced Medical Directives, and Spending Down.
The Basics of Estate Planning
A basic estate plan, which is generally sufficient for most people, is made up of at least three legal estate planning documents.
- Durable Power of Attorney
- Will
- Advance Medical Directive
Having a basic estate plan is a good idea for everyone, regardless of his or her age or health condition. And its not expensive. In fact, its more expensive NOT to have an estate plan.
Estate Planning - More Complex Estate Plans
As a persons estate grows, or as family issues arise, such as stepchildren, blended families, passing down the family business, or children with special needs, more complicated devices may be necessary to effectively execute your desires.
More complex estate planning can include:
- Nursing home and assisted living concerns
- Insurance planning and life insurance trusts
- Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts
- Life Insurance Trusts
- Asset Protection Plans
- Business Succession Plans
Do You Own a Small Business?
A solid estate plan is an essential part of any family business succession planning. Setting out clearly who will be in charge of the family business once the founder or owner is no longer able to manage a business is essential. In most cases, if your business is a substantial part of your estate, you need to make sure that the person in charge of your estate understands what your desires are for operating and maintaining the business. Family conflicts are common when businesses are passed down from one generation to another. Establish clear lines of authority, through the use of trusts or disposition by will. Your heirs will thank you.
Estate Taxes
A well drafted estate plan will minimize the amount of your estate subject to tax. Even a relatively simple marital bypass trust included in your will can double the amount exempt from State and Federal taxes. The wise use of Life Insurance Trusts (LIT's), living trusts, and planned giving are other simple ways to legally and wisely manage tax consequences to your heirs.
Act Now - Estate Planning
Its very easy to put off estate planning. No one relishes thinking of the reasons we need to do estate planning, or hurting someone's feelings. But creating an estate plan, or revising an existing plan to reflect changes in your life, is one of the best things you can do for your loved ones — and yourself.
If you have considered how your estate should be set up and think "I don't need to do it today; it can wait," you could not be more wrong. Creating your estate or making changes is a major decision and time will not wait.

Every province likes it in principle. Ditto every business group. And yet, somehow, there is always some reason to avoid fully embracing it in practice. Local business interests want protection. Provincial governments want to give it to them. Protecting jobs triumphs over creating them, or protecting consumers. And that's how this country ended up with a host of small and large interprovincial trade barriers.
In theory, Canada is a single common market. Why, it's right there in section 121 of the BNA Act: "All Articles of the Growth, Produce, or Manufacture of any one of the Provinces," says the Constitution, "shall be admitted free into each of the other Provinces." In practice, that's not exactly how it works.
Preferences given to local businesses when bidding on government contracts? We've got 'em. Ontario is a special offender, with a bid system awarding extra points to Ontario companies going after provincial infrastructure funding. Restrictions on the interprovincial sale of dairy, eggs and poultry? Provinces have those, too. Rules making it harder for professionals licensed in one province to work in another? Check. These and other impediments to the movement of people and goods are believed to cost the economy anywhere from a few billion dollars to $50-billion a year.
Taking down the walls has been one of the agenda items at this year's premiers' meeting. The man leading the charge is Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall. He's gone in for a bit of grandstanding, by threatening to start erecting new trade barriers if others, in particular Ontario, won't dismantle some of theirs. But other than that, he's on the right track.
The starting point for negotiations should be to start with a blank slate. Assume a Canada with no internal trade barriers, and then negotiate which barriers, if any, Canadians absolutely must erect against other Canadians.
Correct answer: How about none?

By Janet Kornblum, USA TODAY
SEATTLE Hours after she returns home from work and her kids are tucked in bed, Delilah pads down to her basement home studio and punches one of the ubiquitously blinking buttons on the phone. It soothes her to take calls in the night.
It might be a woman wanting to dedicate a song to her husband. Maybe a daughter wanting to extol the virtues of her mother. Or a troubled teen, the scrape of pain raw in his voice. "A lot of people just need to feel like someone gives a damn," says Delilah, 46, who hosts a nightly five-hour radio talk and music show broadcast by more than 200 radio stations across the USA and heard by 7 million people. Every day, 100,000 to 150,000 people call and an additional 1,500 e-mail. Part DJ, part therapist, part minister — and a big dose of mom — you could call Delilah, born Delilah Rene Luke, the real "night listener." Based on the novel by Armistead Maupin, the film The Night Listener, opening Friday, is the tale of late-night radio storyteller Gabriel Noone (Robin Williams), who develops a relationship over the phone with a dying 14-year-old fan (Rory Culkin). Noone spends most of the movie trying to find out whether the boy is real. "It seemed appropriate that a man who was seducing people with his own voice would in turn be seduced by one of his listeners," Maupin says. "There's something about our inability to see the person on the line that allows for a greater intimacy." Delilah experiences that intimacy daily. "People think I'm their big sister, and they trust me sharing things," she says. Though the movie is dark and suspenseful, Delilah is a lot like its hostess — lively, colorful, inspirational, easy with a laugh, sometimes schmaltzy, sometimes soulful and serious. In this day of confrontational talk radio, Delilah "wants to be a friend to people, whether they're in her personal life or listeners of her show," says Delilah producer Jane Bulman. You might hear a mother calling in about her daughter going to Iraq, but you won't hear anyone talking about what they think of the war. You might hear Delilah promising to pray for her listeners, but you won't hear her debating abortion or gay marriage. You might hear her talking about her two divorces and her multiracial family of seven kids, biological and adopted, ages 6 through 21. But you won't hear her talking about the politics of race. Most calls last a few minutes and are taped to become part of Delilah's nightly show of stories and love songs. (She loves what she does "so stinking much" that she takes calls from both her office and her home, a 46-acre bucolic farm filled with trees, paths and a stream.) But some calls — the really difficult ones — can take hours. And they may never make it on air, even if the material would make great radio. "If there's any chance of someone getting hurt as a result of (a call), I won't air it," she says. Delilah began her career in Reedsport, Ore., when the owners of the only radio station in town were asked to judge her junior high speech contest. She won four of five divisions — and got a job offer to deliver school news and sports. From there, she bounced from station to station throughout the country as a DJ and call-in host, getting fired 11 times along the way. She began her current show, today syndicated through Premiere Radio Networks, nine years ago, and draws a third of talk radio leader Rush Limbaugh's 20 million listeners. Howard Stern, by comparison, is available to 4.7 million satellite subscribers on Sirius. But Delilah's show is notably different from most talk shows, which usually focus on politics and draw listeners who share the same views. She's more like a Dear Abby of the air. "She's someone you could tell something intimate to and she would treat it respectfully," says Inside Radio editor Tom Taylor. "We all want someone we can talk to and Delilah is that person." Statuesque at 5-foot-10, Delilah once modeled. But these days, you're more likely to see her in jeans and T-shirts, hauling her kids around town in her mom-messy Cadillac Escalade SUV. Delilah, who describes herself as a born-again Christian, has both conservative and liberal beliefs: Her close circle of friends includes everyone from wealthy Republican businessmen to single mothers to people who are openly gay. In person, she talks about the same things she does on-air — except in much franker terms and often with off-color detail: ex-husbands, her kids and her girlfriends, many of whom started as listeners. "What you see is what you get," Taylor says. Delilah doesn't have a psychology degree and doesn't claim to be an on-air shrink. Instead, she doles out plenty of homespun advice. "It's like somebody sitting down at your kitchen table and you're just drinking a cup of coffee and letting it go," says listener Lelia Groneman of Vega, Texas. "You can just sit down and cry it out, talk it out, laugh or get mad." Groneman, 41, called into the show recently to talk about her 15-year-old son, who died of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. She wanted to share the information. And she felt as if she were sharing her heart. Delilah's friend Ruth Graham, daughter of evangelist Billy Graham, says she understands why people try to connect across the wires. "I love her show and I love what she does," says Graham, who was introduced to Delilah seven years ago because of a mutual interest in adoption. "But it's sad to me that it is so popular — that people need to reach out to someone they don't even know to talk or get advice. It's very telling of our society." On a recent summer evening, Delilah, clad in a black suit and shimmering turquoise top, sits in her office, her size 11 feet bare except for a gold toe ring on her right foot, a yellow rose tattoo on her left ankle and a French pedicure. "We're not here to get you riled up, to hear you argue, to pontificate about anything," she croons in that warm mocha voice she calls a gift from God. "We're here to talk about issues of your heart: who you love, why you love them, what's going on in your world, how your summer's going, who you're praying for, who you're missing and who holds the keys to your heart." While she talks, she reads both personal and work e-mail and takes notes on a legal pad, popping black licorice into her mouth. Calls this night include a woman about to enter the Army, the third generation in her family to do so. She wants to dedicate a song to her boyfriend. Delilah plays Michael McDonald singing Ain't No Mountain High Enough. There's a man who met the love of his life in the military, then lost touch, only to run into her seven years later in Iraq. Delilah plays Cher and Peter Cetera singing After All. A 9-year-old girl calls just to tell Delilah how much she likes her. They talk about summer plans and Delilah plays Summer Breeze by Seals & Crofts. There is a call from the woman moving away from her alcoholic mother to raise her son and marry her fiancé. "So are you leaving to go to something better or are you leaving to run away?" Delilah prods. When she is assured that it's for something better, Delilah tells her she'll play a song and makes the woman promise to start going to Al-Anon, a recovery group for friends and family of alcoholics. She plays Rod Stewart's version of Have I Told You Lately That I Love You. LaDonna Shelly of Albuquerque, 41, calls in to dedicate a song to her husband of 17 years. She lets Delilah know that she and her husband are disabled. Delilah wants to know how they met. "So you're going to college, you're planning your future and you wheel smack-dab into somebody who took your breath away." Delilah smiles into the microphone. "Pretty much," Shelly replies in a weak voice. "At first," she says, "he scared me. But after a while ..." "Wait, wait back up," Delilah interrupts. "Why did you say he scared you?" "Because of the situation I was in before. My boyfriend had shot me, and that's why I'm in a chair." Delilah pulls her head back slightly from the oversized microphone and her blue eyes widen. A beat later, Delilah congratulates Shelly for trusting again — and asks how life is for her today. "Life is beautiful," Shelly says. "We've (raised) four children. It's an adventure every day." Delilah plays Reach by Gloria Estefan. Shelly says later in a telephone interview that she loves listening to Delilah because "she's an inspiration. She says the nicest things. And she cares." Some former listeners have become good friends. Frank Niro, onetime executive director of the United States Chess Federation, met Delilah when she worked in Boston. Today he's living in her backhouse at her farm while he writes his memoirs. "She's very generous and helpful to those who are willing to help themselves, no matter what road they've taken in the past," Niro says. "She'll help people out if they're willing to straighten their life out." But both Delilah and her friends say she's a lot more careful today than she once was. "I was so co-dependent. I was constantly trying to rescue my listeners," Delilah says. "We'd go visit people in recovery programs — you know, just allowing myself to get sucked dry." There was the time she befriended a prostitute. Delilah took the woman into her own home, only to have her turn back to the streets. "Hopefully I've matured beyond that, and I have support systems in place that can help people." But she has been duped: The 16-year-old girl who called claiming she was being sexually abused turned out to be 23. Delilah knows she's gullible. So she trusts her producer to keep her in check. "I view one of my greatest jobs as protecting her and protecting her show," Bulman says. But that relationship works both ways. Delilah "brought out something in me that I didn't really want to show to people — the schmaltzy side," Bulman says. "I feel like the world is so jaded. I don't know, it feels good sometimes to just go, 'Oh, isn't that sweet?' Everybody wants a happy ending."
