Authorities have shut down a global social networking-like site where members traded child porn, talked about their fantasies and traded tips about not getting caught, according to the Department of Justice.
The investigation into the site is ongoing, the agency said, and it is working with police officials from several countries to try to find members who haven't been identified. More than 50 people have been arrested around the world and 35 convicted since the 2008 start of the investigation, dubbed Operation Nest Egg, the Department of Justice said.
The members "participated in a sophisticated, password-protected Internet bulletin board group, which existed to allow members to meet like-minded individuals with a sexualized interest in children, to discuss that interest and to trade images of child pornography," according to court documents.
At one point, the site had more than 1,000 active members.
"The individuals who participated in this Internet-based bulletin board exploited the most innocent and vulnerable in our society," Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer said.
The Department of Justice said the operation began by targeting 26 defendants who were charged in the Southern District of Indiana and then expanded to about 500 other individuals around the globe who were a part of the online group that was "dedicated to trading images of child pornography."
Most of the people charged are accused of conspiring to advertise and distribute child pornography, along with substantive counts of advertising and distributing child pornography.
Officials said the inquiry led them to further investigate some people for sexual abuse of children.

Officials at a New York middle school have decided a rosary could be a symbol of gang activity and have suspended a student for wearing one, but now a legal action is developing that will challenge the school's censorship.
Oneida Middle School officials say their district-wide police in the Schenectady Public School District bans any bandanas or other apparel – including beads – that can be associated with street gangs.
The result? The suspension of 13-year-old middle schooler Raymond Hosier, who chose to wear the rosary as a symbol of his faith and in honor of a deceased brother and uncle.
The American Center for Law and Justice now has confirmed officials have dispatched a letter to the school demanding the school allow the rosary, as protected by the First Amendment, or face a court challenge.
The ACLJ said the school system's dress code is too vague and that just about any clothing accessory could be labeled gang-related.
The dispute started last week when Hosier came to school wearing a rosary, and a principal ordered him to go home.
"A week ago, he was told to either remove the rosary or be sent home. The first day he was sent home. He returned back to school with the rosary, and the school district said he was suspended for two more days.
He said 'Fine, send me home,'" Jordan Sekulow of the ACLJ explained.
"Raymond goes home, the weekend comes and he came to school this week, and when he showed up with his rosary on, they said he was suspended indefinitely," Sekulow said.
Sekulow, the ACLJ's foreign affairs coordinator, said Hosier was just trying to do what he believes he should.
"You know, Raymond decided to take a stand. He's just 13 years old. He decided to take a stand and I don't think many 13-year-olds would be able to take a stand like that," Sekulow said. "He was clearly trying to do something here that his conscience was telling him to do."
"Raymond said he wasn't trying to start something, but the school officials targeted him specifically and came after him because of their policy on gang-related items including bandanas, colors, flags, and beads," Sekulow added.
Sekulow believes that if the issue goes to court as he expects, Hosier's suspension will not be the only issue that will be on trial. Sekulow believes that the district's dress code will also be on trial.
"The federal courts have been very leery of these school dress code policies that ban anything that could be related to gang imagery. If you look at their school policy, it's so broad that they go to the point where they are defining what is gang related," Sekulow added.
"In their definition, they can ban colors, flags, bandanas, and anything with beads. Let me read you the actual policy. Quoting directly, 'A student's dress shall not denote, represent or be deemed to be gang related, including but not limited to, bandanas, colors, flags or beads,'" Sekulow quoted.
"The school told him to take that (the rosary) off because it could be gang related," Sekulow stated.
"He said, 'Listen, I'm doing this for my uncle and my brother. I'm not doing this because I'm a member of a gang. Everyone knows I'm not a member of a gang,'" Sekulow quoted.
The ACLJ attorney added that Hosier had not been in trouble before.
"He's a good student. He's never been in any trouble. He's not a rabble rouser and he's not trying to start any controversy. He's not trying to start a religious trend. He only wanted to express his faith and honor his uncle and brother," Sekulow said.
Sekulow said this isn't the first time the Schenectady school system has been sued over the issue.
"In 2005 a 12-year-old girl (Raven Furbert) had family members serving in Iraq and she wore a red, white and blue beaded necklace and was told by the school to take it off," Sekulow said.
"She sued and the school had to settle out of court and that presumably means a monetary out of court settlement. The superintendent of the school district was an assistant superintendent then and he was named in the suit," Sekulow said.
Reading University's Mark Gasson conducted an experiment to show how radio frequency identity (RFID) chips could become electronically infected.
He explained to Rory Cellan-Jones the risks involved with the new technology including its effects on medical implants such as pacemakers.
Ronald Reagan was in the midst of a contentious economic summit in 1983 and so sent George H. W. Bush on his behalf.
Barack Obama wants to go on vacation — the second vacation he has had since oil began spilling out of the gulf. That’s okay though because the oil spilling is George W. Bush’s fault, just like all the new dead soldiers are George Bush’s fault too. Why should he care?
The problem for Barack Obama is simple.
The troops don’t like him no matter how much the White House propaganda machine tries to gin up staged pictures of Obama voting soldiers fawning all over him. But see the tepid response from cadets at West Point or talk privately with lots of soldiers and sailors and you get something else — they fundamentally do not respect their Commander in Chief.
There was no question they respected and loved Ronald Reagan. Same with George H. W. Bush, the last veteran of World War II to serve as President.
Obama? Not so much. And what does the left do when you point this out? They equate dead soldiers to political props/ Seriously.
By suggesting this President, in the midst of a war, should probably be going to Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day instead of taking his second vacation in a month, conservatives are somehow suggesting he use dead soldiers as political props.
After eight years of the left demanding publicity of flag draped coffins returning to Deleware from overseas to use as political props against George W. Bush, it is more than a little humorous to have the left now accuse the right of doing the same. It also ignores a fundamental point leftists too busy calling our soldiers “war criminals” and our dead soldiers “political props” miss — going to Arlington National Cemetery to lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknowns has nothing to do with using dead soldiers as political props and everything to do with a Commander in Chief who seems to not like the military showing some basic respect to the men and women, alive and dead, who have actually kept us free.
Obama may talk about the government in the first person, but the men and women lying at Arlington know differently.

Should it really surprise us that our President would rather take a vacation during memorial day and in the midst of the worst oil spill ever in history along with all the other problems our country is facing? I don't think so.
Obama canceled the National Day of Prayer Ceremony at the White House This Month so it should not be a surprise that he is canceling all other events that all past Presidents have taken part in. Those who voted for our current leader voted for someone who does NOT care about anything that has to do with our country. He's more about trying to put the blame on past presidents and leaders for everything that is wrong with our country and so to avoid dealing with anything it seems he takes a 2nd vacation trip in just 2 months. What a way to use our Tax dollars Mr. President Great Job!
As the wife of a Veteran of our Current War and the granddaughter of a Korean War Veteran I feel Mr. Obama has NO respect for our service men and women. I am happy that my Grandfather is no longer alive to see what this country has become that he fought for because he would be heart broken.
But for us that are still alive we must keep fighting against those who are trying to take everything away that our armed service men and women have fought and died for since the Revolutionary War. FREEDOM!
President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize this year. Why? Honestly I have no idea because he is doing NOTHING to promote peace he is sending more and more of our troops to fight and protect our borders. To fight in Afghanistan, and just the other day made the statement that the U.S will help fight against North Korea to protect South Korea from being attacked again after North Korea Sank one of South Korea's Ships. He keeps placing our troops into harms way and won't even acknowledge them on Memorial day for all they have done and sacrificed. That should make us all boiling mad!
We as Christians need to lift up our Service men and women in prayer and support those who are fighting right now to protect us from terror and those who seek to destroy our freedoms. Because it is obvious that our Current President sure isn't going to do it.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A teenage girl who converted to Christianity and ran away from her Ohio home alleging she would be harmed has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing surgery.
Rifqa Bary, who fled Ohio last year and stayed with a Florida minister she met on Facebook, is scheduled for an operation for uterine cancer Thursday.
Jamal Jivanjee, a Florida minister and friend of the girl, says Bary is expected to need several rounds of chemotherapy after the surgery.
The 17-year-old girl from suburban Columbus returned to Ohio earlier this year and has been in foster care while a judge tries to reconcile Bary and her family.
Bary's Muslim parents deny allegations she would have been harmed and police found no evidence she was in danger in Ohio.

I have been told that Christians should NOT be involved in politics! This is why our world is becoming darker everyday. When the light and salt of the Earth is removed, Satan has free reign to do what he wants. It is time for Christians to STAND UP and VOTE and get involved in the political spectrum again. Go to school and learn the history. Then get involved in political science and some of you will and could be the next LEADERS for this COUNTRY! This is the CHANGE that is needed for the world! Godly advised men & women in office!

About 20 years ago, Johnson added another poster that says "All Men Are Created Equal, They Are Endowed By Their Creator."
"I have a lot of nature pictures in my classroom from national parks and other nationally recognized scenes, so I put that poster up around all my nature pictures to reflect that as a nation we believe that we're not here as an accident, that we've been created and we've been endowed by a Creator with our rights," Johnson, a math teacher at Westview High School, said.
Johnson doesn't talk about the posters in class, and he said students have commented that his classroom is a relaxing, refreshing and inspirational place.
But in the fall of 2006, another math teacher asked the principal why the posters were permitted. The principal sought guidance from district administrators, and the assistant superintendent, Bill Chiment, was assigned to investigate.
Chiment reasoned, according to the court ruling, that none of the individual phrases on the posters would be a problem, but the combined influence "over-emphasized" God. He also said the phrases were taken out of their original contexts, and as a solution he proposed that Johnson place a full copy of the Declaration of Independence and pictures of U.S. coins on the wall.
Johnson asserted his right to hang the posters in his classroom, and the Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Michigan, filed a federal lawsuit on his behalf in 2007.
U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez ruled in February that Johnson's First Amendment rights were violated and that he should be allowed to hang the posters. Benitez said the posters clearly constitute free speech, and public school teachers have First Amendment rights.

25 years this poster hung in this classroom and only now someone has a problem with it. So much that even after the judge found in favor of the teacher the school is still fighting over this poster and taking it to the Ninth Circuit Court One of the most liberal Courts in our Country to try and appeal this ruling!
What has changed so much in America in 25 years that a poster that says What is written on some of our Nations most historical Documents is now offensive? What has changed?
Those words have not those words on that poster are the same words that were put in our constitution in 1776 they are the same words even today that we say during the Pledge of Allegiance! What has Changed?
Clearly it is the people of this nation, the teachers who are teaching in our schools, those in power leading our country. Who want to obliterate anything that our Country was founded on especially God and Christian Values.
Those words will remain long after the people who are complaining about them and trying to silence those words from even being spoken die and are rotting in their graves! Those words will still live on! Those words will remain after all the bickering, fighting and debating whether they are Constitutional or Not ! Those Words Will Live On.
Because They are the Truth and the truth sets us free.
HOUSTON - By all accounts, he's the best kind of kid, the kind with plenty of reasons not to be.
"Those things that you experience, that you live through, that you witness, I think they shape the character you become," Victor Cardenas says.
Cardenas is a film student at Houston's Furr High school who picked up a camera last year and crafted a haunting story.
The tale he told was his own.
"We never had money, we never had food. My mother didn't care that she had four kids," Cardenas tells his own camera in the film he dubbed "Being Victor".
"It was knives, guns and it was people ending up in the hospital. It was my own family ending up in the hospital. She kicked out my brothers, she kicked out me and it was on our own. I was 14 years-old," he says during a tightly framed monologue within the film.
"Being Victor" it seems, meant, being homeless.
For far too many nights, he bedded down, as best he could, on a park bench in Denver Harbor.
A throw away kid, ashamed and alone.
"I guess I didn't want to say anything, to anybody," he explains.
This is where many stories end badly, but not this one, not by a long shot.
The census worker identified himself, showed his credentials, and continued to ask if she knew if the house next door was occupied on April 1 of this year. The census worker also indicated that he had “difficulty” contacting the neighbors. After the source confirmed the house was occupied on April 1st, the census worker continued by asking, “How many people occupied that house?”_________________________________________________________________
My source responded by saying, “If they haven’t filled out their census, I can’t help you and I have no intention of telling you anything about my neighbors and your recourse is to enforce your penalties.”
The worker replied, “Well you know why we take the census don’t you?”
My source replied, “Yes, in this case, to redistribute my wealth. And you are not permitted to ask me about my neighbors.”
The worker went on to say that the census is used to figure out the number of representatives and federal monies that would be allocated. The source still refused to answer and the census worker was asked to leave the property.
He then proceeded to knock on the other neighbor’s doors, apparently, to get the information he was sent our for. Let’s just hope that these people are not attorneys because this is a clear violation of the privacy and security procedures of the census to ensure an accurate and secure count. Nowhere in this information does it say your neighbors can provide census information.
Obama cancelled 2010 White House National Day of Prayer ceremony. The National Day of Prayer has historically been the first Thursday in May, since Harry S. Truman put it into effect in 1952, but wasn’t official until the days of Ronald Reagan.
For eight years, the White House held a celebration on the National Day of Prayer, and last year Obama cancelled the celebration, and the ceremony has been cancelled for 2010. In 2009, CNN reported that Obama was toning down the National Day of Prayer by cancelling the White House ceremony, but that the official day was not cancelled.

Are we surprised by this headline showing up in the news today? Honestly No. President Obama has from the first day of becoming our President started to remove anything that had to do with God and Christianity from the White House.
He cancelled the 2009 National Day of Prayer Ceremony at the White house so it comes as no surprise to us that he has done it again this year and clearly it seems to do it again every year that he is in office.
After the Federal Judge in Wisconsin ruled that the national day of prayer was unconstitutional The Obama administration is now appealing that ruling. But how can you appeal this ruling and make people think you care about the National Day of Prayer and then turn around a month or so later and completely cancel the ceremony at the White House?
Where is the logic in that? How can you say you are supporting by appealing only to turn around and cancel it at the White House?
So many questions and it seems we will never get them answered just like the questions people have about his birth certificate.
A Prayer for the Nation (Franklin Graham, Honorary Co-Chair of this year's National Day of Prayer)
Lord,
We are thankful for the abundant blessings you have bestowed on America. Our Forefathers looked to you as protector, provider, and the promise of hope. But, we have wandered far from that firm foundation. May we repent for turning our backs on your faithfulness.
We pray that this great nation will be restored by your forgiveness. From bondage, you grant freedom. Through your own sacrifice, you offer salvation. From the state of despair, you offer peace. From the bounties of heaven you have blessed - not because of our goodness - but by your grace.
You have given us freedom to worship you in spirit and in truth as your Holy Word instructs. May our lives honor you in word and in deed. May our nation acknowledge that all good things come from the Father above.
President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed that our nation should set apart a day for national prayer to confess our sins and transgression in sorrow, "yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon...announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord. "
"We have vainly imagined in the deceifulness of our own hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own...We have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God who made us! It behooves us then to confess our national sins and to pray for clemency and forgiveness."
Help us to pray earnestly for our President and leaders who govern, that they will humble themselves and seek your guidance so that everything we do will shine the light of your glory in a darkened world. May our prayers as a people and a nation be heard and blessed for such a time as this. We make this plea in faith, believing in the might name of Jesus our Lord. Amen.
Would you believe this shirt is offensive to wear in The U.S.A? One California School thought so and sent 5 students home for wearing it.

Administrators at a California high school sent five students home on Wednesday after they refused to remove their American flag T-shirts and bandannas -- garments the school officials deemed "incendiary" on Cinco de Mayo.
The five teens were sitting at a table outside Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, Calif., on Wednesday morning when Assistant Principal Miguel Rodriguez asked two of them to remove their American flag bandannas, one of their parents told FoxNews.com. The boys complied, but were asked to accompany Rodriguez to the principal's office.
The five students -- Daniel Galli, Austin Carvalho, Matt Dariano, Dominic Maciel and Clayton Howard -- were then told they must turn their T-shirts inside-out or be sent home, though it would not be considered a suspension. Rodriguez told the students he did not want any fights to break out between Mexican-American students celebrating their heritage and those wearing American flags.
Dariano's mother, Diana, told FoxNews.com she and parents of the other four students are now demanding an apology from officials and are considering a lawsuit.
"We want an apology," Diana Dariano said Thursday. "Who in the United States of America would have an issue with that? It's a sad, sad day."
Dariano said her son has at least four T-shirts with American flags that he wears often and did not try to cause any conflict at school.
"I'm more hurt than anything," she said. "It is so hurtful and disrespectful the way this has turned. These are American kids"
The boys told Rodriguez and Principal Nick Boden that turning their shirts inside-out was disrespectful, so their parents decided to take them home, the Morgan Hill Times reports.
"I just couldn't believe it," Julie Fagerstrom, Maciel's mother, told the newspaper. "I'm an open-minded parent, but it's got to be on both sides. It can't be five kids singled out."
Galli told NBC Bay Area, "They said we could wear it on any other day, but today is sensitive to Mexican-Americans because it's supposed to be their holiday so we were not allowed to wear it."
In a statement released on Wednesday, the Morgan Hill Unified School District said it did not agree with the school's actions.
"In an attempt to foster a spirit of cultural awareness and maintain a safe and supportive school environment, the Live Oak High School administration took certain actions earlier today," the statement read. "The district does not concur with the Live Oak High School administration's interpretation of either board or district policy related to these actions."
Officials at Live Oak High School and the Morgan Hill Unified School District did not return several messages seeking comment on Thursday. A secretary told the Morgan Hill Times that Boden and Rodriguez were unavailable for comment on Wednesday.
According to its website, Live Oak High School is a 1,300-student institution in the southern part of Santa Clara County, with most students residing in the nearby cities of Morgan Hill and San Jose.
"The student population reflects the rich ethnic and socioeconomic diversity of the community," the website reads.
More than 100 students were spotted wearing the colors of the Mexican flag -- red, white and green -- as they left school, including some who had the flag painted on their faces or arms, the Morgan Hill times reported.

Our first question was did they take down the American Flags that hang in our Schools and on our Schools Flag Poles Too?
Clearly this proves that there are many who want to get rid of everything that has to do with Honoring or even recognizing The United States of America!
Because, Oh we might offend someone when we proudly wave our Nations flag or Oh we may offend someone when we say the Pledge of Allegiance and leave One Nation Under God in it so we better suppress those who are supporting our nation and what it stands for, or it seems what it USE To stand for.
Did you know that in many states now you can’t even hang yellow ribbons on poles and trees in support of our Men and Women fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Where have our freedoms Gone? What is so dangerous about the freedoms that our Forefathers founded our Country on? When Children in what seems to be socialist schools now a days can’t even wear their own nations flag because others are afraid they might offend someone.
In schools today girls and boys wear clothing that is almost pornographic at times with shorts and skirts so short it barely leaves anything to the imagination. Shirts and pants so skin tight that it looks like just another layer of skin. Children wearing clothing that says words that 20 years ago were considered swear words and you would be punished for saying them Even clothing that promotes Satanic rock and metal bands and rappers that use some of the most degrading and horrible language in their lyrics are ok to wear as a fashion statement in today's schools.
But a t-shirt of the American flag is worse than any of those things. It is so bad that these young boys were told to turn their shirts inside out or be sent home!
Why do we have public schools today? In our opinion to try and brain wash America’s children and re-educate them into being mindless people that will do and believe whatever they are told. These are not public schools anymore they are government run institutes that are trying to take control of your children and take their freedoms away little by little. School is a battle ground for America’s future Generations and if we don’t start fighting to take back our schools, and this Country we are hurriedly losing our chances to change it before it is too late.

FLORENCE, Ky. --
A local congregation that holds services at a motel and another church has decided to settle down and find a bar to worship in.
MISSION of God Church, which stands for "Mobilizing Ignited Selfless Servants In Obedience Now," is converting the former TJ's Sports Bar Café into a worship space after months of moving around.
Video: Go Inside Bar, Place Of Worship
The congregation had been holding services at Quality Inn in Florence and renting space at Open Door Church in Erlanger, but now they are clearing out the pool tables and barstools at the one-time Tanners Lane watering hole.
"The stripper's pole was over here, we had to take that down," said Pastor Wayne Guilliams. "A couple members did not want that to stay."
Two congregants who now counsel young people at the church recalled their own wild times at TJ's, before they found God.
"Lots of times you'd leave here and think, how did I make it home?" said Scott Lowe. "I mean, why am I not dead? I've lost a younger brother to a drunk driver and two weeks later my father-in-law the same way."
His longtime friend, Matt Morgan, described the path that led them away from the bar, to church – and then back again.
"Me and him both (realized), talking to one another, going, wow, you know, this can't be all there is, just wasting our lives in bars and doing stuff like that," Morgan said. "You know, where do we go? So here we are now turning the bar into a church."
The church still hasn't obtained all the necessary permits to turn the bar into a sanctuary, but they have a lease on the property.
"We're slowly building our finances up, too, but the Lord's providing," Guilliams said. "We're thankful for this."
While the location may be unusual, the building's past just might serve as a drawing card for potential congregants, the pastor's wife said.

This is just a prime example of taking a place that Satan used and make into a place that is now used to Worship our Lord and Savior and also Help the Community. Instead of Lives being destroyed in this place that people went to drink, party and drown their sorrows. Now can be used to help save lives and restore them.
We can only pray that more Christians stand up and start taking their communities back like this church is. One bar at a time.

ATLANTA -- St. John's Lutheran Church has been celebrating the reinstatement of its pastor, Bradley Schmeling -- who endured a struggle dating back to 2006. That's when he told his congregation he was gay -- contrary to the laws of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
The church removed Schmeling from its roster of pastors in 2007. It also removed Schmeling's partner, Darin Easler, another Lutheran pastor. But church members like Barbara Arne stuck by Schmeling and his partner.
"I think we were always hopeful we would come to this day, where the ELCA would say 'we want to accept and include everyone who has been called to God's ministry," said Arne.
Although the ELCA decided to remove pastor Schmeling in 2007, he never really went anywhere. That's because the church congregation voted to keep him around, making him a pastor without portfolio for nearly three years.
"It was always surreal because on a day to day basis, my life in the ministry didn't change. But there were always people, not in this congregation but in the rest of the church, who didn't think of me as a pastor in the church," said Schmeling.
That doubt is now gone. The Lutheran church not only reinstated Schmeling, it also reinstated Easler.
"It feels good to have them included." said Arne. "We also know there's a lot of pain for some people who may now feel the ELCA is not their church. We're sensitive to that and want to support them and walk with them on this journey together."

How can a church say that it is ok and even support their pastor who is committing the sin of Homosexuality and also adultery by sleeping with a person that he is not married to?
Why are people today justifying what the bible calls sexual immorality as something that is ok and they even support in their own church?
The bible says you cannot serve two master for you will love the one and hate the other. You can not be a leader of the church and commit sin openly.
It seem so many people today are being lead astray by the lies that Satan is feeding them and saying they can justify their sins and God will still love and not turn them away.
The bible says that God cannot even look upon sin, that is why Jesus came and paid the ultimate price so we can have the chance to come to him and ask for forgiveness of our sins and past transgressions. Not so we can justify sin and say well Jesus loves everyone and knows we aren’t perfect. Yes in a since that is true but when you know what the scriptures say and know that it is a sin and that God says that it is an abomination and you still do not turn away from it you are still sinning and not one of God’s Children. No matter how many times you may say that Jesus still loves you and won’t turn you away.
No we can’t turn this pastor out and not be kind to him but there is a line that we have to draw when it come to those who are leaders in the church and are openly sinning and not asking forgiveness of it and turning away from the sin. We must pray for this man and the church that see that what they are allowing to go on in the church is not Godly and pray that their eyes be open to the truth before it is too late.
