Suzanne Harrison, 38, pleaded guilty to four sex offences which took place when she worked at a school in Colchester.

Ipswich Crown Court heard Harrison swapped numbers with her victim at the girl's 15th birthday party.

The judge ruled the former Ipswich sixth form college worker, of Wacker Field Road, Rendlesham, Suffolk, should be held in a psychiatric hospital.

'A WOMAN drank more than a pint of whiskey before grabbing a male Virgin Airways steward's penis and demanding sex, a UK court heard.

Katherine Goldberg, 25, from Ealing Common in west London, was on a flight from South Africa to Heathrow last month when she drunkenly assaulted the crew member.

Ms Goldberg, a teacher, was granted bail after her lawyer applied successfully to adjourn the case to make representations in relation to the charge of sexual assault, the London Evening Standard reported.

He said, "It is a serious allegation but there are good reasons why it would be in the public interest for the Crown to deal with her by way of a caution."

Ms Goldberg is charged with one count of sexual assault and another of being drunk in an aircraft.'

'Based on these results one can conclude only one of three things.

Either A) the above observations are anomalies and usually the number of high achievers is typically evenly split between boys and girls, B) girls are generally more intelligent than boys and thus it is natural that they would do better at school or C) the education system is not properly structured to educate males.

The facts point to the obvious conclusion that the education system is failing to educate our boys to the same levels as our girls and has been for decades.

Why has this situation been allowed to exist for as long as it has when it is apparent that the education system is aware of it?

Why is no one talking about this obvious inequity within our society?

Even with the now published inequity in the genders in university entrance, there is still no recognition or discussion of this awful situation.

Why is it that no one cares about the boys?'

'The video, two minutes and 34 seconds long, graphically describes how domestic violence affects children. The child’s voice states:

“A child who lives with domestic violence lives in darkness. …She struggles to separate her nightmares from reality because there’s very little difference. The child who lives with domestic violence isn't afraid of the dark. She’s afraid of her dad because the monster doesn't live in her closet – it’s just down the hall.”'

'Mr Dempsey said the Scottish definition of domestic abuse as primarily about male abusers controlling female victims "dominates" publicity materials and training for medical staff, police officers, judges, housing workers and civil servants. As a consequence, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) people who suffer abuse at home, as well as their children, are being marginalised, he argued.
...
The Scottish Government's definition of domestic abuse as an offence perpetrated by men against women does "serious damage" to gay and transgendered people suffering violence in the home, an academic has said.'

'MEXICO CITY (WLS) - Mexico City lawmakers are proposing legislation that would allow newlyweds to apply for temporary marriage licenses, instead of making the plunge into wedded life a lifetime commitment.

The change to civil code was proposed this week and would allow couples to decide the length of the commitment, with two years as the minimum. If couples are still enjoying wedded bliss when the contract ends, then they would be able to renew the license. And if they’re unhappy, the contract expires and they are both free without going through a divorce.

The legislation has proved to be controversial in Mexico, the country with the second largest Catholic population in world, after Brazil.

A vote is expected on the proposed legislation by the end of the year.'

From an Intact America alert:

This past Monday, the New York Times published an article claiming that mass-circumcision efforts are “one of the most promising, proven methods for preventing HIV in Africa”—and this is simply not true. Study after study shows that circumcision does not prevent the spread of HIV, and in fact increases the risk, because circumcised men think they are safe, and don’t use condoms.

The most offensive part of the article, however, is this quote from Robert Bailey, an epidemiologist at the University of Illinois at Chicago who helped design Kenya’s circumcision efforts (that country’s 330,000 circumcisions so far are just a third of the government’s goal). “We’re hacking away at it every month,” Dr. Bailey said. “Those foreskins are flying.”

It seems that these doctors, who have built their careers from these mass-circumcision programs, have forgotten we’re talking about human beings with normal, functional, important body parts. “Hacking?” Really?

'FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — A grandmother who threw her 2-year-old granddaughter to her death from a sixth-floor walkway at Virginia's largest shopping mall told detectives in a taped confession that she felt unloved by her family and jealous of the attention her granddaughter received.

More than anything, Carmela dela Rosa told detectives, she was angry at her son-in-law James Ogdoc for taking her daughter away from her and saw killing the infant as a way to get back at him, according to the confession. The tape was played to jurors Tuesday at the woman's murder trial.

"I just saw James through her, through the baby," dela Rosa said in the hour-long videotaped confession to a Fairfax police detective. "I thought about James and I threw her."
