Online love no perfect match, report says

Buyer beware, though, cautions a team of psychologists who?ve just published a lengthy report about online dating, now a billion-dollar industry. The problem, they say, is that these websites have no scientific evidence to back up their claims that they can find your soulmate.

APNewsBreak: Powell had 'incestuous' images (AP)

SEATTLE ? Before Josh Powell was going to try to win back custody of his children last week, Washington state authorities received materials from Utah police that had been discovered on a computer in Powell's home two years ago. Authorities say the images depicted "incestuous" sex and were disconcerting enough that they prompted a psychologist to recommend that Powell undergo an intensive psychosexual evaluation.

But a lawyer for Powell's in-laws, who had custody of the boys, wasn't invited to see the computer-generated materials before the custody hearing ? even though a Utah judge had specified in a sealed court order that he was one of the few people allowed to see them.

Had he seen the images, attorney Steve Downing said, he might have asked the court to change the terms of Powell's supervised visitation with the boys, such as by asking for the visits to be in a public place. Instead, Downing said he didn't learn until Thursday morning ? four days after Powell killed himself and the boys in a house fire ? that he was allowed to see them.

"That would have absolutely given me the opportunity to submit a declaration about our deep concern. I was approved ... to view those pictures and I was never notified," Downing said. "I could have gone into all the reasons why the visitation could have or should have been restricted."

Pierce County Sheriff's Detective Ed Troyer told The Associated Press on Thursday night that the images collected by investigators from Powell's home computer in Utah two years ago were realistic computer-generated depictions of "incestuous" parent-child relations.

"It's family-oriented in nature," Troyer said. "It is incestuous."

Troyer said the images couldn't be legally defined as pornography because they don't involve real people. Troyer said the judge in last week's custody hearing was apprised of the images at the proceeding.

Powell was the only person of interest in the disappearance of his wife, Susan Powell, from their home in West Valley City, Utah, in 2009. He was never arrested or charged in the case, and a month after she vanished, he moved with his boys back to his father Steve's home in Puyallup, Wash., south of Seattle.

Last year, authorities searched Steve Powell's home, computer and cars for evidence in Susan Powell's disappearance ? and instead said they found thousands of voyeuristic pictures and videos, including child pornography recorded by Steve Powell. The state took custody of the boys and turned them over to Susan's parents, Chuck and Judy Cox.

Josh Powell repeatedly tried to regain custody of the boys. At one point late last year, he underwent a court-ordered psychological evaluation. The psychologist held off on finalizing his report for some time, anticipating that he would be able to review materials that West Valley City police had discovered on Josh Powell's computer, said Washington state assistant attorney general John Long, who represented the state in the custody case.

But as the Feb. 1 custody hearing neared, the materials hadn't arrived from Utah, Long said. It wasn't until after the psychologist finalized the report that the materials arrived at the Pierce County Sheriff's Department. When the psychologist saw them, he added an addendum to his report recommending the psychosexual evaluation of Josh Powell ? an exam that can include a polygraph as well as more intrusive measures to determine the body's response to child pornography or other stimuli.

On Jan. 30, the sheriff's office arranged a viewing of the materials, said Sherry Hill, a spokeswoman for the Department of Social and Health Services.

Among the attendees were Long and a Child Protective Services social worker. Downing said he wasn't notified of the viewing. Long confirmed Downing had been listed as one of those allowed to see the images. However, Downing was not technically a party to the Feb. 1 hearing, which was between Powell and the state, so there was no rush to make sure Downing saw the materials beforehand.

Josh Powell's attorney, Jeffrey Bassett, also did not attend. He said in an email Thursday that there had been some "miscommunication," and he didn't learn about the viewing until after the fact. He wasn't able to immediately schedule another viewing.

Two days later, Pierce County Superior Court Judge Kathryn Nelson heard arguments from Josh Powell seeking to regain custody of his children. Long opposed that, noting only that "concerning" images from his computer had been provided by the police in Utah.

After considering Long's arguments and the recommendation for the psychosexual evaluation, Nelson denied Powell's request. She said she wouldn't consider granting Powell custody unless he underwent the exam. She didn't make any changes in the visitation schedule, which allowed Powell to see his boys, 5 and 7, at his house twice a week while supervised by a social worker.

On Sunday, the social worker brought the boys to see their dad at his rental home outside Puyallup. After the boys rushed inside, he slammed the door in her face, locking her out. He attacked the boys with a hatchet, then torched the home in a gas-fueled inferno.

Chuck Cox, Susan Powell's father, said the images were just another indicator of problems with Josh Powell. Cox said he did not know the details of the images. He believed the kids should have been fully taken away from Powell long ago and that they raised concerns about allowing him continued contact.

"How much does it take for them to figure out that he should not have the children?" he said. "It's just wrong. They needed to be taken out of that environment."

White House attacks Romney on birth control (AP)

WASHINGTON ? The White House is taking on GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney over his criticism of President Barack Obama's birth control coverage mandate.

Press secretary Jay Carney says Romney is an "odd messenger" to be attacking Obama over the issue. The mandate requires that church-affiliated employers such as hospitals or charities provide birth control coverage even if it runs counter to their religious beliefs.

Romney has accused Obama of an "assault on religion" over the issue. But Carney says a virtually identical policy is in place in Massachusetts, where Romney served as governor, and that it's ironic for Romney to criticize Obama over it.

The rule is causing an election-year furor for Obama. Carney says the White House wants to search for ways to address Catholics' concerns.

Mel Gibson likely won't testify at deputy's trial (AP)

LOS ANGELES ? A judge says she is inclined to block Mel Gibson from testifying during the workplace discrimination trial of the deputy who arrested the Oscar-winner for drunken driving.

Superior Court Judge Barbara Scheper tentatively ruled Tuesday that the deputy's case shouldn't focus on Gibson's arrest or his anti-Semitic remarks at the time.

Deputy James Mee, who is Jewish, claims he suffered religious discrimination by superiors after arresting Gibson in 2006 and that he was ordered to remove the actor-director's inflammatory rants from a report.

Scheper also says she won't allow Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca to testify during the case unless there is some evidence he ordered actions against Mee.

Scheper will make final rulings on Feb. 14 and jury selection is scheduled to begin later next week.

Renesas, Fujitsu, Panasonic in talks to merge system chip ops (Reuters)

TOKYO (Reuters) ? Renesas Electronics Corp, Fujitsu Ltd and Panasonic Corp are in talks to merge their chip operations, four sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.

The three firms are considering spinning off their system chip design and development divisions, with production to be transferred to California-based Globalfoundries Inc, which is planning to set up a company in Japan, the sources said.

The government-backed investment fund Innovation Network Corp

is likely to be involved in the project, according to the sources.

The Nikkei newspaper has also reported that Elpida Memory Inc officials and Globalfoundries would meet this week to discuss a possible sale of Elpida's Hiroshima factory.

Elpida said in a statement that the report on the sale of the Hiroshima plant was incorrect, but did not specify what element of the report was wrong.

Be The Voice Of Angels: Ohio: Stop the Dangerous Sale of Exotic Pets


On October 21, Governor Kasich announced a plan to enact stricter regulations on wild animals starting November 30. Sign the petition to make sure he keeps his word!

Keeping wild animals in captivity requires tremendously sophisticated and intensive care. Without knowledgeable trainers and huge amounts of space exotic animals like tigers, bears, and chimpanzees become stressed and can lash out at those around them, often fatally.

In 2010, young man in Northern Ohio was tragically killed by a captive black bear at a private menagerie, leading the former governor to enact an emergency ban on the sale of exotic "pets." But current Governor John Kasich allowed the ban to expire on April 6th, opening the door for further accidents and deaths.

Ohio is one of the only states in America that doesn't regulate private ownership of dangerous animals. This leaves both the animals, often kept in tiny concrete cages or behind rusted chain link fence, and the people living near them in tremendous danger.

Tell Governor Kasich that Ohio needs strong regulations of the exotic pet trade. He needs to act quickly to protect Ohio citizens and stop the terrible abuse of animals.

Please sign the petition. Thank you!
