.Catholic leaders asked God for forgiveness for the crimes of paedophile priests at a church service on Tuesday after an Irish victim said the Vatican should be held accountable for destroying lives. The heads of seven religious orders intoned penitential prayers in a church in Rome on the sidelines of a first-ever Vatican summit to look at ways of rooting out child abuse from the Church after thousands of scandals. "We have sinned. We did not know how to listen to the pain of so many innocent ones," one of the bishops taking part in the service said. "We are aware that our acts of reparation can never erase the unjust things we have done or soothe the searing wound of our consciousness," he said. Victim Marie Collins earlier told the conference at the Vatican's Gregorian University: "Apologising for the actions of the abusive priests is not enough. "There must be acknowledgement and accountability for the harm and destruction that has been done to the life of victims and their families by the often deliberate cover up and mishandling of cases by their superiors." Collins said her abuse happened at the hands of a hospital chaplain when she was just 13. "Those fingers that would abuse my body the night before were the next morning holding and offering me the sacred host," said the 64-year-old. Her denunciations were long ignored by the Catholic hierarchy and she has suffered from depression for most of her life as a result, but Collins has since become a leading voice in ...

Release Date: February 3, 2012 Genre: Family Director: Ken Kwapis Writers: Jack Amiel, Michael Begler Cast: John Krasinski, Drew Barrymore, Kristen Bell, Tim Blake Nelson, Kathy Baker, Ted Danson, Vinessa Shaw, Stephen Root Studio: Universal Pictures Official site: everybodyloveswhales.com Inspired by the true story that captured the hearts of people across the world, the rescue adventure Big Miracle tells the amazing tale of a small town news reporter (John Krasinski) and a Greenpeace volunteer (Drew Barrymore) who are joined by rival world superpowers to save a family of majestic gray whales trapped by rapidly forming ice in the Arctic Circle. Local newsman Adam Carlson (Krasinski) can't wait to escape the northern tip of Alaska for a bigger market. But just when the story of his career breaks, the world comes chasing it, too. With an oil tycoon, heads of state and hungry journalists descending upon the frigid outpost, the one who worries Adam the most is Rachel Kramer (Barrymore). Not only is she an outspoken environmentalist, she's also his ex-girlfriend. With time running out, Rachel and Adam must rally an unlikely coalition of Inuit natives, oil companies and Russian and American military to set aside their differences and free the whales. As the world's attention turns to the top of the globe, saving these endangered animals becomes a shared cause for nations entrenched against one another and leads to a momentary thaw in the Cold War.

Recorded February 1, 2012 While business leaders rue the lack of American workers skilled enough in math and science to meet the needs of an increasingly high-tech economy, the situation may be growing even grimmer. The latest installment of TIMSS showed stagnation in US science achievement, and the 2009 NAEP science assessment found that only 21 percent of American twelfth-graders met the proficiency bar. Yet while the gravity of the problem is clear, the root cause is not. Is our science curriculum lacking? Is it being squeezed out by an emphasis on math and reading? Is there a problem with our pedagogy? Are our teachers ill-prepared? Or are we simply expecting too little of teachers and students alike? Coinciding with its new review of state science standards, The Thomas B. Fordham Institute will bring together experts with very different perspectives to engage this crucial question: "What's holding back America's science performance?" Watch the discussion with UVA psychologist Dan Willingham, NCTQ President Kate Walsh, Fordham's Kathleen Porter-Magee, Project Lead the Way's Anne Jones, and Achieve, Inc.'s Stephen Pruitt and join the conversation at www.edexcellence.net
