Paul McCartney: 'We found Jimmy Savile odd'
SIR Paul McCartney has revealed The Beatles always thought there was something "suspect" about "hustler" Jimmy Savile.
We knew with under-16s it was illegal, so we didn't do it.
The pop icon said they could not understand why the now-disgraced DJ never invited them into his home.
Sir Paul, 70, also said that while the band enjoyed the "free love" culture of the era, bedding under-age girls was a "no-no".
It was the first time any pop star had spoken out about the Savile scandal.
Police are probing claims the former Jim'll Fix It host abused 450 people over six decades, including the period he was introducing Beatles gigs.
At the height of Beatlemania Savile, who died last year aged 84, compered the band's Christmas shows.
Asked about the scandal surrounding the TV presenter, Sir Paul said: "It's very difficult to talk about it.
"The thing is we knew Jimmy and we worked with him. He was a DJ, an MC on some of the shows.
"He told us all these stories about his wartime exploits. How he had been buying chewing gum and nylons and all that, and selling them.
"He had all sorts of stuff going on.
"He was the older, hustler guy and we were very amused by these stories because he was a great entertainer.
"But we dropped him off at his place, outside his house, and we said: 'Can we come in for a coffee?' And he said: 'Oh no, not tonight lads.'
"When he'd gone, we thought: 'Why doesn't he let us in? What is it?'
"Most people would have let us in that we gave a lift to, so we always thought there was something a little bit suspect."
Sir Paul, who can be seen on ITV tonight in a concert showcasing his latest album, also explained: "We knew with under-16s it was illegal, so we didn't do it.
"We tried to make sure. We couldn't always be sure, but there was a definite no-no involved in under-age kids.
"Hey listen, we didn't have to worry. There were plenty of over 16-year-olds."
Officials at Stoke Mandeville Hospital last night expressed "immense regret" to the victims of sex abuser Savile.
The hospital's NHS trust issued a fresh statement following another ITV documentary on the paedophile DJ called The Jimmy Savile Investigation: Exposure Update.
Savile worked as a night porter at the hospital in Aylesbury, Bucks.

TORRANCE, Calif. (AP) — Residents and staff members at a senior high-rise in California had complained in the past about erratic behavior by an elderly man now suspected of killing two women and himself at the facility, authorities and employees said.
Some people at the Golden West Tower apartments in Torrance even sought the eviction of the man in his 80s.
"People knew that he was a little bit off," employee Alex Galindo said told NBC4. "People were warned, but nobody did anything, so I know there's going to be blood on a lot of people's hands. That's all I can say at this point."
The shooting of the women occurred shortly after noon on Tuesday before the man apparently turned the gun on himself in the lobby of the high-rise, police Sgt. Robert Watt said.
The two women were identified as Charlie Vanhagar, 54, and Maria Leon, 53. The shooter's name was being withheld until relatives can be located.
Vanhagar worked as a manager at the senior citizens' home and tried to be nice to the elderly man who made abrasive remarks toward her and other staff members, family members said. But the man's comments turned threatening and Vanhagar reported them to upper management.
"He's threatened to hit her, to stab her and to shoot her," Nicole Daugherty, Vanhagar's daughter, told the Los Angeles Times. "They had so much time to protect her, and they did nothing."
Witness Arturo Ramirez, who works at Golden West Towers, told the newspaper he locked himself in an office to call 911 after seeing a man who lived in the facility holding a gun.
Ramirez recalled hearing one of the women say, "'Please, no! Please!'" and then two gunshots. The final gunshot came a few minutes later.
Police were still investigating a possible motive. A handgun was recovered.
Residents and staff members told NBC4 the man had been behaving erratically, and many wanted him kicked out of the complex.
Watt said building management had received complaints but police were never alerted.
The building management's voicemail box was full and The Associated Press could not leave a message seeking comment.
Police were trying to obtain surveillance-camera recordings of the shooting, Watt said.
Golden West Towers is a 180-unit, privately owned and operated facility, the Torrance city website says. The low- and moderate-income housing is for seniors who can live independently.
It was the latest attack involving California senior centers.
In a shooting last month, investigators suspect Colin McGrattan, 45, shot and killed his ex-wife and her two nieces before killing himself at O'Connor Woods Senior Living center in Stockton .
In 2010, Arthur Baar, 77, shot and killed his wife, Caryl, 72, before turning the gun on himself in Laguna Woods, a south Orange County retirement community formerly known as Leisure World, authorities said.

Join an epic journey that travels north across Africa from Johannesburg to Uganda and back to Nairobi
Venture out and witness vast landscapes, natural wonders, towns rich in cultural traditions and modern cities humming with life on this epic journey through Africa. Get ready for action, adventure and authentic experiences that will create lasting memories and endless photo opportunities. Start travelling through the waterways of Botswana and finish in the bustling streets and markets of Nairobi, travel through remote parts of the continent seeing amazing wildlife, verdant mountains, exotic beaches and simple villages along the way. Stop to witness the power of Victoria Falls and the sweeping beauty of the Serengeti, have close encounters with mountain gorillas and be warmed by the welcoming smiles of locals in Malawi. Camp on balmy beaches in Tanzania, trek through steamy rainforest and see cheeky chimps at play in Uganda. These are experiences to remember forever.
In 2019 this trip will include an extra night at a camp near Mikumi National Park between Iringa & Dar es Salaam. This will allow for an optional afternoon game drive within Mikumi National Park. Further we will no longer visit Marangu or the Mshiri Village in this area. Instead this trip will go directly from Usambara Mountains to Arusha, while Mto Wa Mbu village walk will be replaced with a Kisongo cooking class & village experience. The trip length will remain unchanged.
With gorilla permits included in the price of the trip, seek out the rare mountain gorilla on a trek through Uganda's steamy forests and spend an unforgettable hour in their presence
Support local conservation by visiting the Khama Rhino Sanctuary, the only place left in Botswana where both black and white rhinos reside
Camping on a remote island in the heart of the Okavango wilderness is an experience you'll never forget. As night falls, the sounds of the African bush are like nothing else
Discover the magic of South Luangwa National Park, a highly concentrated arena of noble beasts and exotic wildflowers, on a dawn game drive
Chill out on the northern beaches of Zanzibar enjoying white sand and sparkling blue sea of the Indian Ocean
Explore the home of the Big Five beasts of Africa – the Serengeti, a wildlife arena like no other
Tracking gorillas in the dense forest can sometimes be wet, muddy and uncomfortable. The terrain is by no means easy either, so it can be pretty strenuous and often humid. But the sheer thrill in coming across a habituated group of gorillas, dominated by a great male silverback, more than outweighs any difficulty. You need to be prepared and fit enough to walk up to 4 hours - up and down hill. A top tip is to pack some gardening gloves to assist in any up-hill climbs.
We use mokoros (small dugout canoes) to pass through the shallow waterways of the Okavango Delta to get to our campsite for the night.
Camping out in the Okavango wilderness means digging a bush toilet and going without a shower. For most travellers this is a small price to pay for such a gorgeous remote island location.
The African wild comes alive at sunrise, so there will be some early starts. The thrill of spotting your first lion or rhino is well worth any loss of sleep.
At Usambara Mountains, you'll hike to the beautiful Irente viewpoint. It's not overly strenuous, but a reasonable level of fitness is required.
Camping in the Serengeti National Park with no barriers between you and the animals is amazing, but it's important to heed the safety advice of your leader. You will be briefed as a group on arrival.
Our purpose-built overland vehicles allow for excellent game viewing, equipped with large sliding windows. They have no air-conditioning, however, so they can get dusty and hot at times.
The going can be slow over the long distances and often bumpy roads. A little bit of patience will go a long way towards your enjoyment of this beautiful land!
This is a participatory camping trip, so team spirit is key. You'll be expected to help out with camp setup, food preparation and cleaning.
As the early bird catches the worm, the early camper sights the animals. There will be many early starts either to make use of the better safari time or to beat the morning traffic on long travel days.
This itinerary is valid for departures from 01 January 2018 to 31 December 2018. View the itinerary for departures between 01 January 2019 - 31 December 2019
1.This trip requires a higher non-refundable deposit (AUD1000, USD1000, EUR800, NZD1250, GBP650, CAD1000, ZAR8000, CHF900) in order to secure the included gorilla permit. We also require full passport details at time of booking. Please note that we need to confirm availability of a gorilla permit if you are booking within 45 days of departure. The additional deposit paid at time of booking will be credited to the final balance of your booking.
2. A single supplement is available on this trip.
3. Optional sunrise balloon rides in the Serengeti National Park and Masai Mara National Reserve are possible on this itinerary. Please see the itinerary above for full details of this activity. As the balloon only holds 16 people, places are limited and we recommend you book in advance. Please inquire when booking your trip to book this optional activity.
4. This is a combination trip made up of 4 shorter trips. This means your crew and the composition of your group may change in Victoria Falls, Zanzibar & Nairobi.
5. The Zanzibar portion of your itinerary may have more passengers than the maximum group size of 22 as we have a crossover of trips starting and finishing in Zanzibar.
6. This trip finishes upon arrival in Nairobi on Day 52. Please do not book any flights until after 6:30pm this evening.

5 Ways to Transport Tots in a Walking City
5 Ways to Transport Tots in a Walking City
And away we go! I just returned from a trip to Amsterdam (Bugaboo flew me there to test out the Donkey — review to come!), but strollers aren't the only way families get around. In a city with more bikes than residents, parents have some creative ways to transport their tots through town...and, without helmets. According to the parents I spoke with on the tram, in the streets, and at cafes, head injuries aren't a concern. Take a look at some of the means of transportation.

New person here, old clog in a 4900. Having read through all of this several times I remain amazed at your individual and collective persistance. Here's a question, and let me know if this is the wrong place to ask it. With one dead channel/color (in my case VLM), might it be possible to re-plumb the head and make use of the fact that there are two blacks, photo and matte? In my mind's eye this is really simple, just a matter of unplugging and replugging two tubes at one end of the other of them. Surely it's more complicated if not impossible. But for those of us that have but one bad color, is it possible to re-map the colors, then for example put a VLM cartridge into the unused black (say the Matte black if we are printing on glossy paper)?
It's an interesting idea. Chasing the option of switching MK with PK at the head and not mentioning it to the machine - for instance if your PK was clogged and you didn't need PK, kind of works in my mind. Only problem is the hoses that connect at the head are not individual lines. They are a bank of nipples fixed in two rows on the head, and a bank of hoses fixed at the base of the damper unit. I can't imagine switching colors would be possible. You'd be better off buying an MK cleaning cart, filling it with PK ink, and charging the line with PK instead. Then just print using "MK". That would handle switching your inks. As far as actually printing on glossy paper while the machine thinks you have MK in the gun, I don't know.. Maybe profiles are different for more than just the blacks when printing on matte papers?
It also seems feasible that mk and pk are different enough to merit slightly different screening approaches to work with the other colors.Sal
So anyone paranoid about their inks separating and settling in the carts, or their lines, or their dampers, like the muck you need to shake from the bottom of an Odwalla protein drink, I think it's safe to say rest easy. I don't know what Epson makes this ink out of, but that's impressive.

Cheers to all the lovely knitters, crafters and peeps out there that visit this space. (And, those that don't, too!) Thanks so much for the inspiration you give me... and for letting me feel like I inspire some of you!
Okay... so let's get knitting.
34 comments
The only thing I know about knitting is casting on. I wish I knew how to knit in the round and understand how separating onto three needles would work out. Hopefully this year I can take time to figure it out for real so I can have me a pair!! Happy New Year Leslie!ReplyDelete
Here's to knitting!ReplyDelete
Cheers to you! I love Toast and have made several pairs - wonderfully versatile.ReplyDelete
Very cute post :) I've been working on something similar to your toast with half fingers and thrumming with angora....mismatched of course.ReplyDelete
have always loved toast - i made several pair a few years back - but never for me!! time to revisit that...ReplyDelete
What a sweet note to receive. I, too, love my Toast. I wear mine daily (knit out of CEL Portland) and people are always asking me, "Where did you get them? I need a pair!" Although mine are still looking lovely, I've got another skein of Portland in amethyst for my next pair.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Leslie! I love to wear my toast while running. When my fingers are cold I pull them down. As I warm up I push them back. Perfect.ReplyDelete
Leslie, Your blog continues to inspire me. Love visiting and reading your stories like "Toast". I have finally taken up knitting. My first piece is a basic shawl made with alpaca wool. Happy New Year!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous1/06/2012
Ok, that email did it! I have made countless pairs of Those Mitts for both men and women, but now I know I must make some toast! I know that message had to make you feel fifty feet tall. You ARE incredibly talented, sweet and just plain awesome~and darn, I have missed you the past couple of very busy months! Toast to our Friend! Hugs from this one~JanReplyDelete
- Donna1/06/2012
What a great comment to the Toasts and to you. Thanks for sharing that comment. We too have made a few pairs of toast, my daughter and all her friends love them. They look great with a multiple of outfits, whether its going out for a walk at the beach or heading out for dinner. Thanks, from another Toasty Lover.ReplyDelete
First, happy new year dear Leslie!ReplyDelete
Second, Char sounds like a doll. That is the sweetest email and makes me wish I took the time to thank more of my fellow crafters.
Third, I have made countless Toast and don't own even one pair. Every one wants them!! They are so great, Leslie.
Fourth, am I the only one who read Glovers Lane's comment and want to just sit right down with her immediately and teach her to knit on dpn's? We could have her halfway through her first Toast in about 15 minutes. Promise.
Umm, sorry I am going on and on here - I'm just so happy to see your post!
Toasting you in 2012!ReplyDelete
Really enjoying your blog!ReplyDelete
Yay Knitting!
Follow my blog: creativeprogress.blogspot.com
Knitting like crazy over here....can you believe I'm already stashing a few things away for Christmas 2012! I love Toast too! Haven't made any in a long time......better make a pair for myself while I'm thinking of it....I keep giving them away :)ReplyDelete
Happy New Year to you! Hope it's a toasty one! I knit a pair of toast for Christmas and I'm starting another pair for myself...mine keep getting taken by my teenage daughters!ReplyDelete
I knit "Toast" a couple times and it is my favorite mitt pattern. As you said, it's cozy, cuddly, and you can pull your hands down inside to make it cover everything. Or, leave your fingers poking out. It's up to you!I have a couple pictures on Ravelry.ReplyDelete
Loved reading this post! I had to whip up a pair and am wearing as I type. Thank you for a great pattern:)ReplyDelete
Cheers to you!ReplyDelete

Equities: The JUN13 E-mini S&P 500 is up 4 points to 1617.25. We continue to hold our next key upside target for this market at 1640. The JUN13 E-mini Nasdaq is up very slightly at +.03%. The Nasdaq has been up more than the Dow and S&P recently, so it seems this market is taking a breather today, while the other markets play catch up.
Bonds: In front of key auctions this week, the U.S. 10-year and 30-year bond are trading lower today near their lows of the day. The JUN13 30-year bond futures market is down 8 ticks to 146 08. We could see this market headed to the low 140s soon. Each month, the unemployment number will become more and more important and potentially market moving as the Fed potentially comes to an official decision on their next moves.
Commodities: Gold is down $22 today. We noted yesterday that gold was having a lot of trouble staying above the key $1,475 level. Today, sellers came in and are bringing this market lower below this key technical pivot point. Our next key gold support price level is $1,425. Natural gas continues its sharp fall today, trading down 1.82%. Natural gas's key support for today is $3.92, and this market might find some bounce around there.
Currencies: We focus on the Aussie dollar. First, the Aussie Central Bank cut interest rates, which has sparked Aussie dollar selling. Second, rumors of legendary trader George Soros taking a big short position in this currency also probably stoked some added selling as well. We believe this currency is indeed headed lower, and would not be at all surprised to see it head below 1.00.

Gastrointestinal Cancers
Doctors at the University of Chicago Medicine Center for Gastrointestinal Oncology are experts in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of a wide variety of cancers of the digestive system. Not only do we see patients with diseases considered more common, such as colon and rectal cancers, but we also regularly treat less frequently occurring cancers, such as pancreas, liver, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) and stomach cancers.
Through innovative surgical techniques and the latest medicines, our doctors can offer patients the highest chances of success against their disease. Just a few examples of what we offer include:
- Minimally invasive esophagectomy, gastrectomy, pancreatectomy, hepatic resection and colorectal resection
- Diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy for pancreatic, hepatobiliary and esophageal cancers
- HIPEC, or hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion, which is a technique that uses surgery and heated chemotherapy delivered directly to the abdominal cavity to treat abdominal cancers
- Laser confocal microscopy, using advanced technology that allows physicians to view live images of internal human tissues at the cellular level so they can identify and remove cancerous tissue sooner
- Gene therapy for upper GI cancers
- Combined chemoradiation therapies
- Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), which targets tumors better than conventional radiation
- Organ preservation for patients with rectal cancer. In many cases, patients do not need a permanent colostomy
Most gastrointestinal cancers are best treated with a combination of therapies. Patients who come to the University of Chicago Center for Gastrointestinal Oncology benefit from the expertise of many specialists through our multidisciplinary review program. Here, surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and other specialists work together to identify the optimal treatment strategy for each patient with gastrointestinal cancer.
Year after year, our specialists are recognized by U.S.News & World Report for excellence in the treatment of digestive diseases and cancer.

(Reuters) - Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook was suspended for three games by the National Hockey League on Sunday for a violent hit to the head on St. Louis Blues David Backes.
Seabrook was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct for the incident, which happened in the third period of the Blues 4-3 win over the Blackhawks in Game Two of their first round Stanley Cup playoff series.
Seabrook, who had never been suspended or fined in 11 NHL seasons, drove his shoulder into Backes' head leaving him dazed on the ice.
Backes had to be helped to bench and did not return to the game. It is not yet known how long he will be out of the St. Louis lineup.
The loss of Seabrook is also a major blow to the Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks, who trail the best-of-seven series 2-0.

Erfwiki:Maintenance Portal
Things are listed roughly in the order of decreasing urgency: urgent stuff is on top, long term things are in the bottom.
Ongoing stuff
- As long as pages can be edited by anyone without a captcha-protected login, spambots can do whatever they want
- Add spambot IPs to [[Category:Spammer]]
- No IP is being used more than once. All this accomplishes is blacklisting a massive pile of random IPs. --ChroniclerC 21:49, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- The spambots are like that, but the wandering vandal i spent a few hours reverting last night does double back over his IP's a bit, probably using a limited number of proxies. Slapping those down would deal with that part of the problem eventually. --Pickled Tink 02:49, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
- No IP is being used more than once. All this accomplishes is blacklisting a massive pile of random IPs. --ChroniclerC 21:49, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- List of steps recommended by MediaWiki's manual:
- Requiring user logins to edit pages
- Requiring email and CAPTCHA validations of user creation
- Requiring CAPTCHA for edits, from users who are not well known.
- Blocking edits which add specific key words or external links
- Blocking usernames and page title patterns that are commonly used by bots
- Blocking registration using known spam domains (mail.ru)
- Using several blacklist services
- Cleanup scripts that revert changes caused by recently identified spammers
- List of steps not recommended by MediaWiki's manual
- Don't use MediaWiki for low-volume/maintenance wikis with anonymous editing policies
--- Question here, and I'm not sure where else to put this: Do you have an autorevert script in mind or already set up? Do you need help with one? Is there a specific place we could discuss this? A thread on the forum seems like a good idea, but I don't see one. --- -- Oh, and if I could post this, then a spammer can post whatever they want, too. Requirin user registration, and hassling contributers until they're recognized as not spammers might drive off some users, but spam drives many more people off. --188.8.131.52 00:08, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
-- Over at the unofficial exalted wiki, I found that the most successful thing with fixing spam was switching to a straight type-in-the-word captcha on account creation - recaptcha and logic puzzles are pretty much cracked, but the spammers are generally not targeting single wikis, so something like 'type in the name of the wiki' cut my spam down to zero. - Xyphoid
- I would suggest something more specific - the KH Wiki asks you to type in the name of the main protagonist, so something like that would be wise. Like "Who is the Perfect Warlord? Parson Gotti."188.8.131.52 05:12, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
-- Another ham handed, but simple, method would be to simply create a bot that automatically banned any new user with a username between five and eight characters in length (This is true of almost every single bot), and leave a note on the registration page that this happens. I merely add it here because the lazy option must always be presented. --Pickled Tink 11:21, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
-- I see you're running Apache. Do you have access to change Apache or is this shared hosting? If you can change your Apache configs and install modules I would highly suggest installing mod_security and then ASL Lite (free ruleset for modsec). http://www.gotroot.com Won't stop all your spam but it would cut down some of the nastier stuff. --
- Keep Plot Summary updated
- Keep Descriptive Table of Contents updated
- I'm handling this for now, but it still deserves to be here in case I miss an update or fall off the face of the Internet. Menlo Marseilles 19:56, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- Do detailed Page Annotation
- Copy Rob's posts, and Jamie's posts that contain important information about Erfworld on the GitP forums and these forums to Word of the Titans article for easier reference and in order to save information.
Urgent stuff
- Check all Erfworld-related articles and make sure that they follow Canon/Proposed Canon/Speculation scheme that Rob suggested
- Update other articles with references to the comic archive on erfworld.com (as opposed to that on GitP.com). Use the {{erf}} template.
- Come up with Style Guidelines for Erfwiki (they are still under discussion, but it would be great if you followed them, and helped develop them).
- Import Help sections from media wiki
Long term stuff
- Make Plot Summary more detailed as Rob wants
- Find and add Erfworld cameos to Erf Cameos.
- Please figure out how to make {{Template:ID}} work to help in wikifying script text. Or explain the really easy way to do what needs to be done–Dan Hoeytalk 02:53, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
- There is an issue with panel-by-panel reading skipping over the Text updates. Can anyone fix this? User:Commander I. Heartly Noah
- Along with this, there are no written descriptions of the art for the text updates. We need to create a way to have a panel, with description & text for these updates. It seems we could just do them in the normal way, only they have 1 panel instead of 12 or so. Right? CIHN

- A lot of old pages were written as Speculation because the authors were overly cautious. We know a lot more than some people think. I'm working my way through all Pages in the Speculation Category to look for advancement. Rob is only checking pages in the Propose dCanon category, so unless this is done, it will remain Speculation forever. --Kreistor 18:39, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

MINNEAPOLIS — A season ago, the Phillies were 30-47 when they scored three or fewer runs. That means they won 39 percent of the time when the offense was anemic. Only five teams in the last 30 years had a better winning percentage and it was a large reason why the Phillies won a franchise-record 102 games in 2011.
Those Phillies had a 3.02 ERA, the lowest for any team since the 1989 Dodgers, who had a 2.95 mark. They allowed 3.27 runs per game in 2011, the franchise's lowest clip since 1917.
They are allowing 4.33 runs per game in 2012 and have a team ERA of 4.00. Both figures are worse than the league average. And when scoring three runs or fewer, the Phillies are 4-23 (.148), a far cry from the clip established a season ago.
In 11 June games, Phillies starters have a 5.77 ERA.
"I think that's partly because you do see Roy [Halladay] down," Charlie Manuel said. "That definitely has something to do with it. But the other thing is we're just not getting it done."
Exactly. It's not because of one man. Kyle Kendrick has floundered. But so too has Joe Blanton, Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee. Vance Worley hasn't pitched deep into a game in his return from injury.
The days of Four Aces seem like forever ago.
The bullpen is in shambles. A payrolll of $178 million bought the Phillies this on Tuesday: Their five pitchers were Kyle Kendrick; three minor leaguers in Joe Savery, B.J. Rosenberg, Jake Diekman; and Chad Qualls, who was signed late in the winter off the scrap heap.
So what to do? Not much. The Phillies have called up just about every possible arm. Mike Stutes and David Herndon are far away from a return — if there even is one.
Tyler Cloyd has pitched well at triple-A Lehigh Valley, but there are no guarantees he carries his pinpoint control to the majors. Even if the Phillies were to move him into the rotation and send Kendrick to relieve a depleted bullpen, it's difficult to say an upgrade has been made.
"If we score seven runs," Manuel said, "we can win some games."
It'll have to be with the current crop of pitchers showing improvement.

Millions of Americans with disabilities have gained innumerable rights and opportunities since Congress passed landmark legislation on their behalf in 1990. And yet advocates say barriers and bias still abound when it comes to one basic human right: To be a parent.
Millions of Americans with disabilities have gained innumerable rights and opportunities since Congress passed landmark legislation on their behalf in 1990. And yet advocates say barriers and bias still abound when it comes to one basic human right: To be a parent.
A Kansas City, Mo., couple had their daughter taken into custody by the state two days after her birth because both parents were blind. A Chicago mother, because she is quadriplegic, endured an 18-month legal battle to keep custody of her young son. A California woman paid an advance fee to an adoption agency, then was told she might be unfit to adopt because she has cerebral palsy.
Such cases are found nationwide, according to a new report by the National Council on Disability, an independent federal agency. The 445-page document is viewed by the disability-rights community as by far the most comprehensive ever on the topic � simultaneously an encyclopedic accounting of the status quo and an emotional plea for change.
�Parents with disabilities continue to be the only distinct community that has to fight to retain � and sometimes gain � custody of their own children,� said autism-rights activist Ari Ne�eman, a member of the council. �The need to correct this unfair bias could not be more urgent or clear.�
The U.S. legal system is not adequately protecting the rights of parents with disabilities, the report says, citing child welfare laws in most states allowing courts to determine that a parent is unfit on the basis of a disability. Terminating parental rights on such grounds �clearly violates� the intent of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, the report contends.
Child-welfare experts, responding to the report, said they shared its goals of expanding supports for disabled parents and striving to keep their families together. But they said removals of children from their parents � notably in cases of significant intellectual disabilities � are sometimes necessary even if wrenching.
�At the end of the day, the child�s interest in having permanence and stability has to be the priority over the interests of their parents,� said Judith Schagrin, a veteran child-welfare administrator in Maryland.
In the bulk of difficult cases, ensuring vital support for disabled parents may be all that�s needed to eliminate risks or lessen problems, many advocates say.
The new report, titled �Rocking the Cradle: Ensuring the Rights of Parents with Disabilities and Their Children,� estimates that 6.1 million U.S. children have disabled parents. It says these parents are more at risk than other parents of losing custody of their children, including removal rates as high as 80 percent for parents with psychiatric or intellectual disabilities.
Parents with all types of disabilities � physical or mental � are more likely to lose custody of their children after divorce, have more difficulty accessing assisted-reproductive treatments to bear children, and face significant barriers to adopting children, the report says.
One of the cases it details involved Erika Johnson and Blake Sinnett of Kansas City, whose 2-day-old daughter, Mikaela, was taken into custody by Missouri authorities because both parents were blind. The action occurred after a hospital nurse reported that Johnson seemed to be having trouble with her first attempts at breast-feeding � which Johnson said happens with many first-time mothers.
During a 57-day legal battle, before the couple regained custody, they were allowed to visit Mikaela only two to three times a week, for an hour at a time, with a foster parent monitoring.
Since then, the family has been left in peace, said Johnson, who tries to offer support to other disabled parents facing similar challenges.
�Some parents just give up or don�t have the resources,� she said in a telephone interview.
A Windsor, Colo., woman with disabilities says the prejudice she encountered prompted her to go to law school, to better defend her own rights and those of other disabled parents.
Carrie Ann Lucas uses a power wheelchair and is reliant on a ventilator due to a form of muscular dystrophy. She is a single mother of four adopted children, ages 22, 17, 13 and 11, all of whom also have disabilities, including two who use wheelchairs and three with intellectual disabilities.
Lucas says she�s been the subject of several investigations by child welfare officials that she attributed to bias linked to her disabilities.
�Each one of these referrals that gets accepted for investigation causes a great deal of stress, not only for me, but for my children,� Lucas wrote in an email.
She said the investigations dated back to her first efforts to adopt Heather, her biological niece, in 1999, after the girl was placed in foster care. At one point in a long procedural struggle, a social worker told a judge that �there was no way that handicapped woman could care for that handicapped child.�
�We are nearly 13 years later, and Heather is still doing very well,� Lucas wrote.
As a lawyer, Lucas has represented many other parents with disabilities.
�I have had parents with paralysis be threatened with removal of their children, deaf parents punished for using sign language with their hearing children, and blind parents told that a social worker can�t possibly fathom how they could parent a newborn,� Lucas said. �When families do need intervention, it is often because the services they need are not available outside a punitive social services case.�
The lead author of the new report, disability-rights lawyer Robyn Powell, says her goal was to challenge presumptions that disabled people can�t be effective parents.
�Of course there are going to be some parents with disabilities who would be lousy parents � that�s the same with parents without disabilities,� she said. �If there is neglect, is it due to the disability? And can it be rectified by providing the necessary support?�
Ella Callow, a lawyer with the National Center for Parents with Disabilities and their Families, said the report raises fundamental questions about America�s social priorities � given that state and federal laws value both the well-being of children and the rights of disabled people. The ultimate goal, she said, would be to promote both values by expanding support for disabled parents.
�If we really believe that families are the key unit on which society is built, then we have to enable these families to be healthy and functioning, even at public expense,� Callow said. �We know foster care isn�t a good place for children to be � they do better with their own parents, at their own home.�
Callow, who is based in Berkeley, Calif., said child welfare agencies need to provide more funding and specialized training with the aim of improving services for disabled parents.
�Child welfare is so incredibly underfunded, and the workers are so incredibly overwhelmed, their attitude is, �Really, you want my attention on this?�� Callow said. �There�s a tendency to think these families aren�t the same as our families. But these children, when they lose their families, have the same type of grief.�
Schagrin, the Maryland child-welfare official, said she found parts of the report troubling because they seemed to suggest children were sometimes removed from their families only on account of parental disabilities.
�That�s not why they are taken away,� she said. �They are taken away because the disability has continued to the point where there�s an episode of maltreatment or neglect.�
She said one recourse is to find members of the extended family � or other types of support � to help a parent with psychiatric or intellectual disabilities care for a child. But she said this approach could be taken too far, for example if a mother with intellectual disabilities was placed in a group home with other disabled parents.
�What kind of way is that for a child to live � being raised by a shift of caregivers in a mom-and-child group home?� she asked. �Is that really better than an open-adoption agreement?�
Andrea Bartolo, a senior consultant at the Child Welfare League of America, said there is no question that some disabled parents encounter discrimination in the child welfare system, �sometimes inadvertently, sometimes very overtly.�
Under current practices, Bartolo said, an expert assessment of a child�s home life and the possible provision of services to the disabled parents might occur only after the child has been removed and �the damage has been done.� Going forward, she hopes child-welfare agencies will try harder to provide support before a problem worsens, potentially reducing the need for foster-care placements.
The report praises a few states � including Idaho, Kansas and California � for modifying child-custody laws to the benefit of disabled parents. It urges Congress to amend the Americans with Disabilities Act to add protections for parents, and it calls on state lawmakers to eliminate disability as a distinct ground for terminating parental rights.
Christine Waters, an attorney with Legal Services of Central New York, based in Syracuse, worked with colleagues in 2008-09 in a bid to change the state law specifying that parental rights can be terminated if a parent has psychiatric problems or is intellectually impaired. Some legislators expressed support, Waters said, but the effort ultimately failed.
�Everything would look like it was going fine � and then there would be some well-publicized, awful incident where someone who had a mental illness � without support � did something shocking and horrible, and a child was seriously harmed or died and we�d be back to square one,� Waters said.
Waters said some child-welfare officials resisted any change, wary of being held responsible if something went wrong.
The assumption that people with disabilities can�t parent �is bad for society and heartbreaking for families,� Waters said. �The easy thing is to terminate the parental rights. We need to do the right thing, not the easy thing.�
Disabled parents whose parenting ability comes into question often are placed at a disadvantage by parenting assessments that are inappropriate or unfair, the report says. It calls for better research to improve assessment standards and gain more knowledge about how various disabilities affect the ability to be an effective parent.
One topic worth further study, it said, is �parentification� � the phenomenon in which children of disabled parents take on various caregiving responsibilities, even at a young age.
In Arlington Heights, Ill., Jenn Thomas, a 36-year-old mom who has cerebral palsy, says her 8-year-old twins occasionally complain about having to do a few extra chores around the house to help her.
Her daughter, Abigail, nods and smiles upon hearing this, but says for the most part, their lives are �kind of normal.� For her, having a mom with a disability is just how it is, she says, shrugging.
Sometimes, they ride on the chair with her � especially son Noah because he, like his father, D.J., is a �little person,� the term used by the family and others for someone genetically predisposed to having unusually short stature. When activities are farther away, the couple has created a support network to help when D.J. is working. He drives, but Jenn does not.
�I want them to enjoy activities and not be limited because I am limited,� she says. So she coordinates with neighbors to help get the kids to swimming, cello lessons or basketball practice. Or she arranges for �paratransit,� a bus service for riders with disabilities and their families.
Friends also helped redesign their kitchen to make it more accessible.
The new report stresses that improved networks of support for disabled parents � encompassing transportation, housing, health care, and outside intervention when appropriate � should be welcomed, and not viewed as evidence that the parents on their own are incapable.
When children do face removal from their disabled parents, those parents may encounter barriers to meaningful participation in their legal cases, the report says. For example, financially struggling parents may have to rely on a court-appointed attorney with no special knowledge about the effects of disability.
Kaney O�Neill of Des Plaines, Ill., a quadriplegic Navy veteran, endured an 18-month legal battle to keep custody of her young son. Her ex-boyfriend filed for custody in 2009, when the boy was 10 weeks old, alleging that O�Neill was �not a fit and proper person� to care for the child because of her disability.
Refuting the allegation, with legal help from Ella Callow, Kaney demonstrated how she had prepared for motherhood by working with an occupational therapy program, adapting her house, securing specialized baby-care equipment, and using personal assistants to help her as needed.
�I lived in fear every single day that my son would be taken away from me,� said O�Neill, 36. �In a lot of ways it made me a better mother because I felt that I had a lot to prove.�
She says her son, who taught himself to climb up his mother�s wheel chair into her lap, is now going to preschool twice a week and is thriving.
�If you are a parent with a disability, you don�t have a role model � you have to figure out how you�re going to be a mother and overcome challenges,� she said.
For disabled women who either cannot bear children or choose not to, the possible option of adoption often can be complicated. Some foreign countries, notably China, rule out disabled people as potential adoptive parents.
Elizabeth Pazdral of Davis, Calif., who wears a brace and uses crutches to walk because of cerebral palsy, said she encountered discrimination several years ago when she and her husband sought to adopt a child. She said one local adoption agency billed her an advance fee of $3,400, then advised that there were �serious reservations� about her ability to be a parent.
�I think it was dishonest to take my money and then tell me they were worried,� said the 4-foot-tall Pazdral, 42, who is executive director of the California State Independent Living Council.
Initially distraught, Pazdral obtained legal help, paid for an occupational therapist to come to her house to assess her capabilities, and researched how other parents with disabilities had succeeded in raising children. The efforts paid off: The adoption agency dropped its objections, and in May 2008, Pazdral and her husband, a Stanford University physicist, adopted a baby girl named Madeleine.
�It was a huge life change � but that�s true for any new parent,� Pazdral said, recounting sleep-deprived nights, higher levels of chronic pain, and the challenge of maintaining one�s energy level.
�But I start with the joy I get from being her mother � the rightness I feel,� Pazdral said. �It�s the best thing I have ever done with my life.�

While building family tree I register source - church records in MH Online as intended, see picture attached.
While browsing the tree and learning the history of the family opening and reading the original church records is essential part of joy.
Unfortunatelly mobile application, Event screen does not show source records registered.
To my estimation this is a major lack why I can not recommend to my members to use mobile all.
Kindly ask you to consider to show source records of the events in mobile app.
Best regards
I have two queries: I started my tree on the mobile app, how can i import it to my computer?
And secondly; I get an error when trying to import my tree from Legacy.
Any help/suggestions appreciated.
My mobile application is throwing "error" exception when I want to see my tree.
I happen just in the mobile application, in the web application everything works normally
Currently I am using FTB and keeping my data locally in windows PC and not in MyHeritage webpage.
After I install the mobile app to a Samsung android tablet, can I then sync only to the FTB data in my PC ?
I dont want to upload data to website for sync.

CHIPLEY � Washington and Holmes Counties were two of many counties discussed as the Florida Department of Transportation held their annual meeting on the tentative work program for fiscal years 2015 to 2019.
CHIPLEY � Washington and Holmes Counties were two of many counties discussed as the Florida Department of Transportation held their annual meeting on the tentative work program for fiscal years 2015 to 2019.
The meeting was held Tuesday, Dec. 3, at the Florida Department of Transportation District Three office in Chipley.
�We�re gathered here today to review the five-year work plan for fiscal years 2015-2019, which remains tentative until July 15,� said Jacqueline Paramore, Statewide Title VI Administrator for the Florida Department of Transportation. �The budget remains at $3 billion, just like last year, and 2017 has an enormous spike and that is related to the replacement of the Pensacola Bay Bridge, also known as the three-mile bridge. This project will cost $500 million to replace, which goes to show that one project can make a significant change.�
Paramore reviewed the summary of changes made recently to the DOT plans for Holmes County.
�For Holmes County there are a lot of bridge replacement projects underway,� said Paramore.
Those listed for bridge replacement are Riddick Mill Road over Unnamed Branch Bridge, Jones Loop over Pine Log Creek Bridge, Whitaker Road over Lighter Snag Creek Bridge, Hicks Road over West Pittman Creek Bridge, Valee Road over Blue Creek Bridge and Hicks Road over West Pittman Creek, Bridge Number Two.
There is also a bridge rehabilitation scheduled for State Road 20 over Lafayette Creek Bridge.
�There will be a Project Development and Environmental study of State Road 79 from State Road 8 to the Alabama line,� said Paramore. �For those of you who are local you are aware of Project 79, where we�ve planned and have been funded for the widening of State Road 79 to the interstate, now we�re advancing it to the Alabama state line.�
Other proposed projects include: a resurfacing project for State Road 2 from Country Road 177 to Ten Mile Creek; a Small County Outreach Program to repave Thomas Drive from State Road 79/Waukesha Street to the Washington County Line and for Deacon Road from County Road 173/Jenkins Road to Sandpath Road; a Small County Road Assistance Program to repave County Road 183A from County Road 10A to Walton County Line; and a Transportation Regional Incentive Program to overlay the runway at Tri-County Airport.
�For Washington County there will be several projects to widen and repave roads to include adequate right-of-way,� said Paramore. �These projects� funding will be spread out over the course of 2015, 2016 and 2017.�
These projects include State Road 77 from Bay County Line to North of Country Road 279, State Road 77 from North of County Road 279 to North Sunny Hills Entrance, State Road 77 from North Sunny Hills Entrance to one mile South of Wausau City Limits and State Road 77 from North of County Road 279 to North Sunny Hills Entrance.
�We have a lighting project because we still don�t have lighting at State Road 8 off of I-10, which is the Caryville exit,� said Paramore. �We also have a Project Development and Environmental Study for State Road 77 from North of Blue Lake Road to the Jackson County Line and that is the beginning study for 2018, which started in 2006 for a possible bypass alternative.�
There are resurfacing projects for State Road 20 from the Walton County Line to the Bay County Line and State Road 77 from South of State Road 8/I-10 to Fifth Street and a Small County Rural Assistance Program to pave Shakey Joe Road from end of pavement to County Road 284/River Road.
�Chipley Sidewalks Phase II is a combination of two different projects, where all work will be done under this one project,� said Paramore. �This includes Sinclair Street from County Road 273/South Boulevard to Forrest Drive and Third Street from Pine Avenue to County Road 273/South Boulevard.�
There is a Transportation Alternative project for sidewalks on Pine Avenue from Usery Road to Third Street.
�This is where the city will manage the project and then be reimbursed,� said Paramore.

The warrant was the result of information gathered by the Special Investigations Unit.During the operation, they also arrested Tyrell Clagon, 21, who lives at the Maple Street address, on warrants for the sale of heroin.
Clagon is accused of selling heroin Sept. 18 at Maple Street and Oct. 17 at a Union Street location.Clagon could enter no plea Wednesday to the felony charges in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division, so a probable cause hearing was set for Nov. 5. Bail was continued at $20,000 cash/surety.

Prosecuters are seeking to have Finnell held until her trial Dec. 16.The new charges allege Finnell returned to her residence at 79 B St., despite bail conditions barring her from doing so because it is also the residence of her boyfriend, who she allegedly had assaulted and threatened.At her arraignment Tuesday, Finnell had insisted her boyfriend had another residence, while she did not. She told the judge Tuesday: "I need to go home."
Police said the alleged victim was at work when Finnell returned to B Street, but the bail conditions barring her from the residence still applied. She's also accused of taking the boyfriend's $2,200 watch and causing damage.A bail revocation hearing was set for Thursday.

Accused of attempted strangulation
