Christian group’s diaper ‘contest’ no crime, DA says
Mt. Lebanon police investigated a Christian youth group after the mother of one of its members complained about an activity during which her 14-year-old son wore a diaper and bonnet while sitting on a girl’s lap.
No crime occurred, police said, but they forwarded the complaint to Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr. because of “the nature of the allegations, and the attention that the incident has garnered,” said Mt. Lebanon police Lt. Kenneth M. Truver.
“We cannot find anything that would constitute a crime,” Zappala spokesman Mike Manko said Friday.
The mother, who Truver declined to identify, sent an e-mail to police Nov. 30 alleging inappropriate conduct occurred at an event the day before at the Mt. Lebanon Recreation Center sponsored by Young Life, a national youth group.

Fighting the curse of the face-eating tumour
Â
A Jehovah’s Witness who for decades refused all surgery on his horrific facial disfigurement has been given hope by a British doctor and new medical technology.
Unwilling to accept a blood transfusion, Jose Mestre has allowed the bloody tumour that first appeared on his lip in adolescence to obliterate almost all of his face.
But now one of Britain’s leading facial surgeons has proposed treating Jose, 51, by employing ultrasound waves to coagulate the blood before the operation.
This should allow his growths to be removed without risk of heavy bleeding – satisfying his religious prohibition on blood transfusions that has so far hampered his search for treatment.

The Pope’s Cologne
The Pope’s Cologne is a classic Old World cologne made from the private formula of Pope Pius IX (1792-1878). We obtained this formula from descendants of the commander of his Papal Guard and lifelong friend, General Charles Charette. We have followed this complex, exclusive formula meticulously, using the same essential oils that his perfumers used 150 years ago. We believe that we have succeeded in capturing the same fragrance that he and those around him enjoyed so long ago.
This is a truly extraordinary cologne with surprising freshness and notes of violet and citrus. We are pleased that you will have the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful, historic fragrance.
