Accusers to be unmasked at Penn State trial

Former Penn State University assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky arrives for the second day of jury selection as his trial on 52 counts of child sexual abuse involving 10 boys over a period of 15 years gets underway at the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte, Pa., Wednesday, June 6, 2012.

Former Penn State University assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky arrives for the second day of jury selection as his trial on 52 counts of child sexual abuse involving 10 boys over a period of 15 years gets underway at the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte, Pa., Wednesday, June 6, 2012.

The young men who accuse Sandusky of molesting them have been allowed to remain anonymous through months of heavy media coverage. But that will change when they take the witness stand as early as Monday, June 11, 2012, where they will be forced to state their names for the record. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke, File)

The young men who accuse former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky of molesting them have been allowed to remain anonymous through months of intense news coverage and water-cooler conversation about the scandal.

That's about to change.

When they take the witness stand in a packed Pennsylvania courtroom as early as next week, the alleged victims will be forced to state their names for the record ? traumatizing them all over again, their lawyers and victims' advocates argue, especially given the very real possibility their identities will become common knowledge via social media and the wider Internet.

Most traditional media organizations, including The Associated Press, have longstanding policies against using the names of alleged victims of sexual assault, viewing the crime as so intensely personal and the potential effect of public disclosure so traumatic for the accuser that withholding the identity outweighs the public's right to know.

But in this anything-goes age of social media and citizen journalists, when anyone with a smartphone can tweet or blog, old media standards may no longer make much difference.

Anyone lucky enough to grab one of the 85 courtroom seats reserved for the public could sit in for the day, jot down some of the accusers' names, leave and disseminate them to the world.

"Most of us want to have some control over who we share intimate details of our lives with," said Karen Baker, director of the National Sexual Violence Resource Center. "To have that out there on the Internet, you've totally lost control, and it's a scary thing."

Sandusky, 68, faces 52 counts accusing him of sexually abusing 10 boys over a span of 15 years. Prosecutors say the retired coach befriended boys he met through The Second Mile, the charity he founded for youngsters in 1977, then attacked them, in some cases in his home or inside university athletic facilities. He has denied the allegations.

Most of the accusers are now in their 20s. Up to now, they have been identified in court papers only as "Victim 1," ''Victim 2" and so on.

Five of the eight alleged victims who could be called to the stand asked Judge John Cleland for permission to testify under pseudonyms, saying through their lawyers that exposing their names would subject them to shame, ridicule and harassment.

An attorney for the accuser known as Victim 4 submitted an affidavit from his psychologist that said public disclosure could trigger symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and interfere with the young man's treatment and recovery.

And a coalition of advocacy groups argued that removing the cloak of anonymity would have a chilling effect on victims' willingness to report abuse. Most childhood sexual abuse already goes unreported because young victims fear they will be ridiculed or disbelieved, the groups noted in a brief submitted to the judge.

But the judge said there is no authority in Pennsylvania law to allow the alleged victims to remain anonymous. While state law shields the identities of child victims of sexual assault, it affords no explicit protection to adult accusers even if the abuse took place when they were children.

Cleland also said there is a public policy consideration at stake.

"Courts are not customarily in the business of withholding information," he wrote. "Secrecy is thought to be inconsistent with the openness required to assure the public that the law is being administered fairly and applied faithfully." With rare exception, Cleland said, all citizens have a duty to testify publicly, "no matter how personally unpleasant."

In the wake of that ruling, victims' organizations pleaded with the public and the media Thursday to exercise restraint.

"Victims everywhere should know that their privacy will be respected when they come forward to reveal intimate details of sexual abuse. They participate in the criminal justice process in an effort to do the right thing and testify about their experiences; they should not have to worry about being publicly targeted when doing so," said Baker's group and others said in a statement.

John Giugliano, a clinical social worker and associate professor at Widener University, said victims of childhood sexual abuse can suffer anew when their names are publicized because the most humiliating episode of their lives is suddenly open to public inspection and judgment. Common symptoms of abuse ? depression, anxiety, substance abuse, difficulty connecting with others ? can flare up or become more severe, he said.

Beth Docherty, who was 15 when her music teacher raped her, said she was grateful her name wasn't released. Even with the court's protection, though, a newspaper account contained just enough detail about her identity ? that she played flute ? that it became known within her school. She said the teacher's supporters sent her hate mail and broke her windows.

Docherty, now 43 and president of the board of Pittsburgh Action Against Rape, sees parallels with the Sandusky case. Just as she was blamed for reporting her attacker, Docherty said, some Penn State fans have blamed the accusers for football coach Joe Paterno's firing last fall, just months before his death from cancer.

"You've gone through this horrible thing, and you have people who don't know you blaming you, saying you caused this icon to be brought down. It stays with you. It affects you for a long time," she said. "Having that identity kept from the public is a little bit of a comfort, so I feel for them. It's going to be really traumatic, and I give them a lot of credit to still go through with it and not crush and crumble under all the pressure."

If the victims' names do become public knowledge during trial, it probably won't be the result of reporting by the traditional media.

"We have a firm and longstanding policy not to publish the names of victims of sexual crimes without their consent," Lawrence Beaupre, executive editor of Times-Shamrock Communications, said in an email. The media conglomerate publishes The Times-Tribune in Scranton and several other newspapers and has sent a reporter to the trial.

More than 80 media outlets have been credentialed to cover the trial, from broadcast networks and major newspapers to Internet portals, independent journalists and tiny online news operations, some of which told AP that they, too, plan to withhold the accusers' names.

At the same time, the issue of whether to shield victims of sex crimes from exposure has launched countless newsroom arguments. Is it fair to the alleged perpetrators to allow accusers to remain anonymous, especially in cases where the charge has turned out to be false? Is such a policy inadvertently perpetuating the notion that victims of sexual abuse have something to be ashamed about?

The Society of Professional Journalists' code of ethics does not include a blanket prohibition on using the names of sexual abuse victims; it merely advises news organizations to "be cautious" about identifying them.

Kevin Z. Smith, SPJ's past president and chairman of its ethics committee, said it is his personal belief that media organizations should reconsider their stand against naming.

"We shouldn't stigmatize victims of sexual assault," he said. "I don't think as a society we do ourselves a favor by ostracizing these people, and I don't think the press does a helpful job by perpetuating that by saying, 'We are going to protect you.'"

Even Giugliano, the social worker, said there can be a benefit to testifying in open court. Some victims find it liberating to confront their abuser, he said.

"There can be a very positive effect through all of this, a release of shame, having their voice heard and their day in court, a feeling of being vindicated," Giugliano said. "Those things can have a very positive, empowering effect."

But he said that decision should be left to the individual and his therapist.

Business Continuity Blog ? Safe Harbor Consulting ? Failure and ...

So, even though I opened a Twitter account about 2 years ago, this week I decided to start really using it.

I tweeted a thing or two to the 3 people following me.? It was fun, but a lot like talking to myself, which, I sometimes do.

Then, I started looking for people and organizations that I wanted to follow.? Some in sports, some in entertainment, a few friends I found, and even some in the field of business continuity and crisis management.? I also found Eric Greitens whose book, ?The Heart and?the Fist? I had recently just finished reading ? a read I highly recommend to all.

Today, one of Eric?s tweets included a link to this article in The New Yorker ? ?Failure and Rescue?.? I think this article has a profound message for everyone in all walks of life, but I also think it has significant meaning to business continuity, disaster recovery and emergency response planners.

I recently posted a few blogs about the need to have plans that are flexible and provide the framework for decision makers to change the plan when needed ? which, in my mind, will be always for any situation that occurs.? In this article, Atul Gawande, presents this message much better than I ever could.? His concept of rescuing the plans is, in my mind, brilliant.

There is no need for me to try to recap the article for you; I would ?fail? miserably in my attempt.? So, I simply suggest you read it for yourself.? I believe you will be glad you did.

And then, to thank me, you can ?follow? me on Twitter @jpflach.? ;-)

NTT DoCoMo's augmented 3D chat system lets you have your virtual cake

Google's Project Glass has garnered lots of attention among Earthlings and Saiyans on the augmented reality front. Now NTT DoCoMo is serving up its take on the subject -- a tablet-based interface it calls the "Live 3D Communication System." An augmented version of video chat, the system lets users create virtual objects via speech and also check out 360-degree views of virtual environments by moving their tablet around. Use of a special range-imaging camera also allows the software to add people within virtual spaces. The technology is a prototype so it's still a bit rough around the edges. For folks pining for a future with holodecks, however, this is the kind of baby step that's likely needed to make such dreams a reality (though, to be honest, you'll probably be long dead before a real holodeck comes to fruition). Folks whose appetites aren't quite satiated by the video from the Wireless Japan 2012 show can also check the official Japanese promo in all its cake-filled, cheesy glory after the break.

Should Your Business Be a Franchise Business?

How do you go about determining whether your business has a future as a franchise business? This is the ultimate question that you have to consider as a potential franchisor. You may have a successful business and may see franchising as a sure route to success, but it is possible for franchising to be the wrong route for your business. Like other major business decisions, this is something that you will have to do research on and to think about long and hard.

?

?

One of the first issues you need to consider is the type of business you would like yours to grow into. If you want to expand your business by a few regional branches or offices, then franchising is not likely to be the way for you. Franchising involves so much legal red tape and expense that you do not want to venture in that direction for a relatively small expansion. If, on the other hand, your long-term plan is to expand nationwide and to do so dramatically, then you are probably right to consider turning it into a franchise business. Franchising is ideal for large-scale, accelerated growths of this kind because they are more financially manageable this way. Rather than having to shoulder all the associated financial burdens, you can rely on your franchisees to share the load. Furthermore, because they are investing their own capital into the process, your franchisees are bound to be more invested in making things work than would an employee you hired to run a branch of your business.

Something else you have to think about is whether your business will work well as a franchise business. Not every business can work under this model. Some businesses work best as mom-and-pop stores. They owe much of their success to the unique styles and personalities of their operators and to other contextual factors. If someone tries to replicate these businesses at other locations, he or she will quickly realize that they do not translate successfully in the new contexts. A business of this kind does not make a good franchise business. For businesses to be franchised successfully, the formulae on which they are based have to be replicable in other contexts with equal or greater success.

In addition to being replicable, your business should sell a distinct, innovative idea that makes it stand out in the market in order to survive post-franchising. It is not enough to simply copy another franchise business?s ideas and hope for success. You will be competing with that business, and the only way to do so effectively is to offer customers something that your competitor doesn?t.

Logitech's latest set of home-surveillance cameras build admirably on the existing Alert 750e Outdoor Master System??($349.99, 4 stars). The major difference is that the new Alert 750n Indoor Master System ($299.99 list) is, if you can't guess, for indoor use. The camera lacks weather-proofing, but costs $50 less. Plus, the indoor and outdoor systems are entirely compatible on the software end, so you can mix and match them, with up to six cameras on one network. ?Overall, the system offers an easy way to see what's going on at home when you're not there, even in the dark of night, and is our new Editors' Choice for surveillance cameras.

Design and Software
Thanks to the included mounting accessory hardware, which even includes a suction cup option, you can put the cameras just about anywhere, from wall to ceiling. However, Alert cameras use HomePlug to access your home network, so a nearby open AC outlet is required. And you can't plug into a power strip or a UPS?they prevent network signals from reaching your interior wiring and using the power lines like Ethernet cables.

Note: You also need to connect your router to the power lines, for the camera to be seen by computers as well as for any Internet functions (like watching live video on a mobile phone). So make sure your home router also has a spare outlet nearby.

The Alert camera is somewhat bulky, measuring 2.8 by 4.4 by 1.8 inches (HWD). If you don't mount it or suction it to a window, it sits in a cradle that doesn't allow position adjustment?there's no tilt, for example. But the wide-angle lens easily encompasses an entire room's width, so this isn't a huge problem. The HomePlug adapter for each camera is almost the same size. Both sport an array of LEDs to provide insight on network traffic. (You can turn them off for added stealth.)

In a nice touch, each Alert camera has a microSD card inside which stores up to 2GB of video. According to Logitech, that's enough for one week of recordings in a typical home. The company also claims a free Dropbox?account, with 2GB of free online storage, could also hold a week's worth of data from one camera. If you go over the 2GB on the camera, you can use your PC's hard drive for additional storage. You can specify in the Alert Commander software how much disk space to use.

All of this is in contrast to the Wi-Fi-based Dropcam HD?($149 direct, 4 stars), which stores all video data in the cloud. The only free option for cloud storage with Logitech Alert is to follow Logitech's directions to backup video to DropBox.

You could pay for the Logitech Alert cameras and that's it?local DVR recordings cost you nothing. ?If you're mobile, using an Android, iOS, or BlackBerry device, real-time viewing is always free with an app download, but that's it. However, you can subscribe to the optional Logitech Web and Mobile Commander service for $80 a year to watch recorded video on your phone or a remote PC. You can also manage the entire system this way, or even share clips and control multiple sites that have the Alert software installed.?

Features and Performance
The heart of the system is the Logitech Alert Commander software, which runs on a Windows system on your network. There's no Mac version. You can control up to six Alert cameras at a time. (Additional interior cameras, Alert 700n models, identical to the 750n but sans the dongle for your router are $229.99 each.)The video you record from each camera is stored locally on the camera or your hard drive. Playback is very good, with no buffering problems. However, it's only 960-by-720-pixel video running at 15 frames per second?not exactly full motion, but sufficient nonetheless.

Email alerts can be sent by the software whenever motion is detected. Luckily, you can throttle down both the sensitivity and the timing, so you're not inundated with messages. You can also set up zones of view to monitor for motion, so you don't get an alert just because a ceiling fan is spinning. In this case, only motion video is captured, which saves on disk space. You can also sit and watch the real-time video feed, or use Playback mode to skip through to the captured sections whenever motion was detected. Fortunately, you can fast forward at up to 8x speed if there's a lot to see. In comparison, the Dropcam HD features great motion capture, but doesn't have a fast forward for playback; the Avaak VueZone System?($199.95, 4 stars) actually makes you pay a bit extra for cameras that have motion detection capability.

The 750n camera, like the outdoor-focused 750e and competitor Dropcam HD, sees very well in the dark. Even in what humans would think is pure inky blackness, the lens can witness plenty. There's a microphone on the camera so you can listen to what you see, but no speaker, so there's no talking back to whoever you're spying on. That is a feature unique to the Dropcam HD.

I tested with an AT&T iPhone 4 and the app worked flawlessly. I saw a nice 640-by-480-pixel video that is essentially streaming from the camera to the router and out to the Internet. That said, the video was subject to a lot of buffering delay when the handset wasn't on Wi-Fi.

Unlike with Dropcam's mobile app, you can't watch stored video on the phone. That's for the Windows PC on the network only, unless you upgrade to the Alert Web and Mobile Commander service mentioned earlier; then you can watch recorded video anywhere.

Conclusions
The Alert system's cameras are bigger than the Dropcam HD's little puck, but both require a holder, so the size issue may be moot for all but the most stealthy of installations. And the use of HomePlug rather than Wi-Fi makes camera placement less flexible, but the Logitech Alert cameras use the power lines incredibly well and feature a quick, slick setup procedure.?Adding Wi-Fi to a future generation of Alert cameras will only make the line better.?Logitech addresses cloud storage with the Dropbox solution, but that could cost you if you're not careful. That's still less expensive than the optional $80 Web and Mobile Commander service, but not as versatile. The truly security conscious should make the upgrade.?All of that said, the Logitech 750n Indoor Master System and 700n add-on cameras are worthy siblings to the 750e Outdoor system, and share our Editors' Choice award designation.

North Korea's Military 'Targets' Media Outlets in the South

SEOUL -? South Korea's government is chiding the North for a specific threat made by its military against some of the media in Seoul.

North Korea's military Monday threatened South Korea's major conservative media outlets, saying its soldiers had entered the latitude and longitude coordinates of their Seoul headquarters for possible attack.

South Korean reports say it is unprecedented for North Korea to publicly speak of map coordinates for specific targets.

This came in an ?open ultimatum? by the general command staff of the (North) Korean People's Army.

The message read by an announcer on Pyongyang radio and attributed to the North Korean army general staff, targets South Korean media for critical reports about recent children's festivals hailing new leader Kim Jong Un.

The broadcast says the military has already targeted for punishment specific South Korean media outlets which it names. The announcer says such ?fools, idiots and blockheads? will face retribution for criticizing the celebrations in the North.

One television channel in Seoul had compared the ceremonies to those of the Hitler Youth of Nazi-era Germany.

South Korea's Unification Ministry spokesman Kim Hyung-suk says it takes the threat seriously and calls North Korea's reaction way out of line.

Kim says the new military threat from Pyongyang is a significant challenge and provocation to freedom and democracy.

However, Yim Tae-hee - a former chief of staff to the current South Korean president, Lee Myung-bak - says Seoul should not over-react.

Speaking to correspondents, Yim - a declared presidential candidate of the ruling New Frontier Party - pleads for all to step back and put things in perspective. He says literally interpreting such threats could cause an erroneous move by Seoul in regards to relations with the North.

The two Koreas have no diplomatic ties. They have lived side-by-side for decades under an uneasy truce since their devastating three-year civil war in the early 1950's.

The South Korean capital, Seoul, with more than ten million people, is in the range of North Korean artillery.

Professor Ryu Gil-jae at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul says a ?cyber? attack against the South Korean media is more probable than a military action.

Ryu says a competition is underway in North Korea among various entities to demonstrate their loyalty to Kim Jong Un and such belligerent rhetoric directed at the South is one part of this.

Two provocations blamed on the North in 2010 - the sinking of a South Korean military ship and the shelling of a small island - killed 50 South Koreans, mainly military personnel. The South Korean government has warned there will be retaliation by its forces if there are any additional attacks by the North.

Good Customer Service ? 6 Essential Rules

This article has been viewed 26 times.

The things i find most scary of these latest benefits is the approach customers are only also willing to say to our friends and colleagues about a poor experience (usually 23 individuals told) only 10 people learn about a good knowledge. Does this sound familiar??

If a customer quickly scans the blogosphere of their strategy to write a contact and give thanks us, send these individuals a bundle with anything free.

For a nation which aspires to become a service based economic system, it is very important its individuals and institutions are customer focused.

Email Assistance ? This is probably on the list of convenient and straightforward ways to provide support for your customers. In your website, make sure that you have a noticeable option that allows your current customer?s to deliver you an email with just some sort of click using preferred mail program. Also you can opt to have a very contact/email form placed in your web internet site. Make it a coverage to answer many emails inside of 24 hours after you?ve received. For anyone who is receiving additional emails in comparison with you can manage in a day, adapt the reply time allowance to 48 hours. You can also currently have one of your workers handle the email support on their off-peak hours.

In retail, looking at in with some sort of customer occasionally while shopping is a great way to send out the message that the company cares about you and is pleased for their small business. If you happen to watch a shopper shopping lost, perplexed or annoyed, take it on yourself to ask if they need aid. Keep yourself qualified on all the retail products sold in the store and also be prepared for virtually any question. Ensure you know all the responses you may need to support a customer before you start, but also be sure to keep your expression of merchandise knowledge healthy. Bombarding customers having information whenever they really would like to shop throughout peace can be a huge turn-off.

Sounds clear, but if most customers need as well as expect the identical service this might not apply. Utilizing airlines for example, economy as opposed to business course differentiation is clearly grasped by customers. This drives profits as the commercial airline has maximised this revenue for each flight. Company class customers possess different needs from overall economy customers as they currently have limited time and wish to be refreshing for meetings when they arrive at their vacation spot. Economy passengers have accepted that they will be more difficult and leave a few luxuries to keep journey costs to a minimum. However, for the low cost air travel, this difference between varieties of customer is not suitable. Efficiency motivated procedures for those customers at sign on for example are accepted simply by all customers because of the cheaper solution prices.

You can expect to make coming from $15 to $25 hourly depending on ones experience, instruction, and the number of work. An average of, the employer will require you to operate from 10 to 40 hrs weekly, and frequently (during top holiday seasons) the business may ask you to work many as 62 hours based on the work load so when the plan allows.

FDA Asked to Take Ban Use of Pesticide for Head Lice - Drug Abuse -

? Drug Abuse ? Jun 02, 2012

Congressman Edward Markey (D-Mass.) has called on the FDA to ban the pesticide lindane as a treatment for head lice in children. Lindane is sold as Kwell shampoo and its generic versions.

In a letter to FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg, Markey pointed out that the EPA banned the pesticide - which has been linked with side effects from skin irritations to seizures - from agricultural use in 2006.

?Despite these actions and the known danger that lindane poses to human health, the FDA continues to allow the use of this insecticide as a treatment for head lice in children,? Markey wrote Thursday.

Although shampoos with the agent are FDA approved for the indication, the chemical is not listed as an approved therapy on the FDA?s webpage on treating head lice, and the CDC page notes that the FDA doesn?t recommend it as a first-line therapy. Nor does the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend it as a treatment.

Instead, the CDC and FDA recommend over-the-counter pyrethrins or prescription malathion or benzyl alcohol lotions.

Lindane is an organochlorine insecticide, most of which?including DDT?were banned in the 1960s and 1970s due to their neurotoxic effects. Several groups have also declared it a possible carcinogen, including the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

After EPA banned it from agricultural use, 160 nations also agreed to ban its use, according to Markey?s letter. California even nixed it as a treatment for lice and scabies in 2002 because of its potential effects on children and on the public water supply.

Sidney Wolfe, MD, of the consumer and health advocacy group Public Citizen, said his organization first called for a halt of pharmaceutical lindane use 37 years ago.

?It?s inexcusable that there?s such a double standard,? Wolfe told MedPage Today. ?It?s banned by the EPA, yet it?s allowed by the FDA. We shouldn?t be selling potent toxins that are too dangerous to be used as pesticides.?

In his letter, Markey asks FDA to address eight issues, including an assessment of the chemical?s long-term effects on children and whether it has had any environmental impact from being poured down drains.

An FDA spokesperson told MedPage Today that the agency will respond directly to the Congressman.
