"He can do both, whereas a pedophile is truly sexually aroused by children only. Their preference is children, socially, emotionally, sexually, physically. If they could have their way, they'd live in a world of children, like Peter Pan."<BR/><BR/>Those who are sexually connected to child pornography are more likely to offend again and are more difficult to rehabilitate, Hickey said. The computer is just too much of a temptation.<BR/><BR/>Hickey said that while many people don't realize they leave electronic footprints on their computers, footprints that forensics experts can use to reconstruct information, others know that capture is inevitable.<BR/><BR/>"And yet they still do it," Hickey said. "It shows how damaged they are and how much damage they do to children. People need to be aware, people need to protect their kids."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-73192796500789681322007-04-29T10:38:00.000-04:002007-04-29T10:38:00.000-04:00http://www.adn.com/news/politics/story/8838801p-87...http://www.adn.com/news/politics/story/8838801p-8739449c.html<BR/><BR/>There are now 11 Abramoff related convictions & counting.<BR/><BR/>Stay tuned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-24660362062007254332007-04-29T10:34:00.000-04:002007-04-29T10:34:00.000-04:00http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/artic...http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/27/AR2007042702228.html<BR/><BR/>The UPI newswire adds that I've been cooperating with the Feds to rat everyone else out.

First UOJ puts the spotlight on super-ganav Leib Pinter, now allegations come that another Artscroll author has been plagiarizing a Mormon author.<BR/><BR/>Eva writes:<BR/><BR/>I write this after looking through a book by Rabbi Dov Brezak titled Chinuch in Turbulent Times. As I was reading through it, I noticed countless stories and analogies that looked very familiar. Then I realized why. Stephen Covey, in his book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People brings them down. The Seven Habit of Highly Effective People series is undeniably based on a strong Mormon ethic value system. But Mormons are still probably most similar to Orthodox Jews from a cultural and even religious perspective. They usually have large families. Stephen Covey has nine children. That in itself is an enormous difference in the challenges that will arise from the families. Big families have more in common with other big families- even from different religions- than they do with small families from their own religions.<BR/><BR/>A lot of Orthodox rabbis won’t cite their Gentile sources.<BR/><BR/>Reb Yudel posts:<BR/><BR/>An interesting case here.<BR/><BR/>It certainly would have been more honorable to simply give Covey a haskamah, wouldn’t it?<BR/><BR/>But would that work in Brezak’s community? Would his audience buy a secular book? And would they be smart enough to make the analogies from the world of business — I confess that while I remember the principles, I forget the anecdotes — to the world of their shtetl?<BR/><BR/>Should Rabbi Brezak be paying royalties to Covey? Does Brezak receive royalties or, like Covey, is his primary parnassah the lecture circuit?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-75626779116539408032007-04-29T09:38:00.000-04:002007-04-29T09:38:00.000-04:00Gosh.

Lazar wants the Jackson-Vanik amendment repealed. Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, Rabbi Boruch Shlomo Cunin and Chabad representatives in America do not. Lazar got Congressman Tom Lantos to work for Jackson-Vanik's repeal, infuriating Krinsky, Cunin and Chabad of America. Krinsky went to Washington last week to lobby Lantos, urging him to work to keep, not annul, Jackson-Vanick.<BR/><BR/>Why? Chabad of America wants the Chabad library – held illegally by the Kremlin since the end of WW2 – released before repeal. Lazar wants to do a favor for Russia's authoritarian leader, Vladimir Putin. hoping in return Putin will release the books.<BR/><BR/>The backstory here is Lazar's poodlekeit. He has served as Putin's lap dog for almost seven years, defending Putin from charges of anti-democratic action and human rights violations as Putin crushed democracy – and Lazar's Jewish and pro-democracy opponents, as well.<BR/><BR/>Lazar is a street thug elevated to the role of a mafia captain by order of Vladimir Putin, and he serves at Putin's pleasure, not Chabad's.<BR/><BR/>Whether Jackson-Vanik stays or goes, one thing is clear – Berel Lazar has no place in Jewish leadership of any kind. He should be immediately removed from office.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-62810618945998688492007-04-27T18:41:00.000-04:002007-04-27T18:41:00.000-04:00http://cbs2chicago.com/seenon/local_story_35321450...http://cbs2chicago.com/seenon/local_story_353214505.html<BR/><BR/>Did someone ask about shady tzedoka organizations?

Meanwhile, it spent $338,667 on program services, and nearly equal that on its own administrative expenses, $311,979. The group’s fundraising expenses totaled $359,003. <BR/><BR/>That same year, Heritage for the Blind, 2071 Flatbush Avenue, had a total revenue of $2,400,386 and spent $495,133 on program expenses, close to $1 million on administrative costs and $1.8 million on fundraising, according to Charity Navigator. <BR/><BR/>“Heritage for the Blind spent 15 percent of its budget on its programs. Most [charities] spend 75 percent or more,” Miniutti noted. <BR/><BR/>Of its $1,506,879 in total revenue for the fiscal year ending March 2006, the National Children’s Leukemia Foundation, 7316 Avenue U, spent $153,166 on program expenses, $153,320 on administration, and close to $1.2 million on fundraising, according to the website. <BR/><BR/>Yad L’Achim Peyle Israel, 172 1/2 Lee Avenue, whose mission is to promote Orthodox Jewish observances, listed a total revenue of $985,181 for the fiscal year ending October 2005.
