CHILD PROTECTION guidelines issued this week by the Italian Bishops’ Conference (CEI) conclude with an observation that there is no “juridical obligation” on bishops to report “illicit facts” to the police.
*moment of stunned silence*
US abuse victims’ group Snap was one of many to condemn the document, saying: “Once again the Catholic Church hierarchy has missed the boat . . . These prelates had a chance to do more than the bare minimum and thus set a good example for their colleagues around the world by putting the safety of children first and foremost, but they chose instead to put the reputation of the church first.”

The Cipher (as yet unreleased from Quirky Labs but with a projected price of $4) is a credit card-shaped stylus with a capacitive edge that works with any touch-screen device and stashes away in your wallet or pocket until you need it.
No more glomming around with your fat fingers in Draw Something.
Turned out nice.
Three people have been arrested and four taken to hospital following a row at the Forty Foot in Sandycove in Dublin this evening. Two groups of men, from East Wall and Crumlin, had arrived on the DART and were drinking throughout the day. A row broke out, bottles were broken and a number of people were injured. Four people were treated in hospital for injuries, including stab wounds and a broken jaw.

“Is that Drico?”
“Copper’s?”
Etc.
Oh my.
