PA House Bill to Empower Victims
In a historic, bipartisan vote, the House passed legislation that would empower victims of sexual abuse by eliminating the criminal statute of limitations for prosecutions of sexual abuse of minors and extending the civil statute of limitations for lawsuits alleging sexual abuse of minors until the victim reaches 50 years of age.
The bill would also waive sovereign and governmental immunity for claims. Among its most notable provisions, the House voted to open a two-year statute of limitations window for those victims claiming abuse who are beyond the age of 50. According to statistics, one-third of victims of child sex abuse disclose the incidents when they are still children, while another one-third never disclose. For the remaining one-third, studies show that the average age to disclose is 52. This legislation, Senate Bill 261, includes several of the recommendations outlined by the state attorney general after the August release of a report alleging widespread cover-up of sexual abuse within the Catholic Church across the state and dating back generations. The bill now goes back to the Senate for concurrence. Another one of the recommendations -- which would increase penalties for mandated reporters who continue to fail to report suspected child abuse and broaden the “continuing course of action” provision -- was reported out of the House Children and Youth Committee on Wednesday. That goes now to the House floor. His Own Parking Spot
The son of a German author received his very own parking spot after religiously locking up his bike in the same spot.
Food and travel writer Christie Dietz took to Twitter to show the “parking space” someone made for her 4-year-old son.: My son has parked his bike by this lamppost just about every day for the last year. This morning, this sticker had appeared. Absolutely made our day. People can be so brilliant. Thank you, whoever did it The stranger had taken a picture of his bike and posted it to the pole where he usually locks it up, indicating that only the bike is permitted to be there. Dietz's tweet recounting the sweet gesture had been liked more than 130,000 times as of Tuesday. “We were really touched by someone carrying out such a sweet and joyful idea," Dietz told the BBC. “"My son is very happy about the sticker."

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - October 2
Hollywood icon Rock Hudson dies of AIDS 1985
On this day in 1985, actor Rock Hudson, 59, becomes the first major U.S. celebrity to die of complications from AIDS. Hudson’s death raised public awareness of the epidemic, which until that time had been ignored by many in the mainstream as a “gay plague.”
Hudson, born Leroy Harold Scherer Jr., on November 17, 1925, in Winnetka, Illinois, was a Hollywood heartthrob whose career in movies and TV spanned nearly three decades. With leading-man good looks, Hudson starred in numerous dramas and romantic comedies in the 1950s and 60s, including Magnificent Obsession, Giant and Pillow Talk. In the 1970s, he found success on the small screen with such series as McMillan and Wife. To protect his macho image, Hudson’s off-screen life as a gay man was kept secret from the public.
In 1984, while working on the TV show Dynasty, Hudson was diagnosed with AIDS. On July 25, 1985, he publicly acknowledged he had the disease at a hospital in Paris, where he had gone to seek treatment. The news that Hudson, an international icon, had AIDS focused worldwide attention on the disease and helped change public perceptions of it.

Jacobsburg Speaker Series
Dr. Megan Rothenberger will speak on "Assessment of Dam Removal" Friday, October 12 at 7:00pm to 8:00pm. The proposed removal of multiple small dams along the lower Bushkill Creek has provided a valuable opportunity for multidisciplinary teams of Lafayette college faculty and students to evaluate the benefits and risks of stream restoration. This research is especially important since fewer than 10% of dam removals in the last century were accompanied by scientific study. Megan Rothenberger, Assistant Professor of Biology and Environmental Science at Lafayette College, will present a summary of the ongoing pre-dam removal research, which includes almost 8 years of water quality monitoring, surveys of freshwater mussels, analysis of heavy metals in legacy sediments and associated toxicity assays to assess potential risks to organisms downstream. Registration is required.
