A this is a Wake up Call for girls and their parents a said one of the authors or. Nicholas Rizzo. A and for clothing  but in interviews specialists who treat sexual offenders questioned the conclusions reported in the summer Issue of the journal of offender therapy and comparative criminology. A dress is quite an insignificant Factor in such attacks a said Phillip Resnick a forensic psychiatry professor at Case Western Reserve University a medical school in Cleveland. A rapists say that they decide they re going to rape that night and they select their victim largely based on Opportunity is the woman alone is it a dark Street a Resnick and another specialist said sexy clothing does give Rise to Wolf whistles and possibly to unwanted sexual advances. But they said there is a difference Between verbal harassment and physical assault. A the aggressive Side of rape has nothing to do with what a victim looks like or is wearing a said Michael Spodak a Baltimore forensic psychiatrist. The Survey was conducted by Donna Vali of Hollywood calif., an Independent researcher and Rizzo a forensic psychiatrist who worked for 20 years in the Massachusetts court system.

No injuries were  epidemic May threaten cities new York up super drug resistant strains of tuberculosis have surged dramatically among the City a homeless aids victims and addicts in an epidemic that May soon be plaguing Urban centers nationwide health officials said tuesday. The problem has become so severe that the new York City health department backed by the Federal centers for disease control is for the first time recommending that All new to patients be treated with at least four different medications and be closely monitored to make sure they Are fully cured. Fears of a widening to outbreak in new York prisons grew Over the weekend with the death saturday of the 13th inmate from the disease. One state prison guard has also died from a drug resistant Strain. Officials emphasized that to is curable and is Only spread through close Contact Over an extended period not on a subway or bus. A but Thomas Frieden of the cd said he feared that the new drug resistant strains might spread to larger sectors of the population. Frieden joined acting City health commissioner Margaret Hamburg to release a preliminary study that found drug resistant strains of to had doubled in the last decade mainly among the City a poor with weakened immune systems. Calling to a a serious and growing problem a Hamburg said a what we fear is what we have been Able to document Here in new York City is a warning of what is already happening or will be happening in other Urban centers throughout the country. A puerto Rico and Jacksonville Fla., already have started urging simultaneous treatment with four medications she said. Frieden said that the Tough new strains were curable but that treatment takes much longer than the Normal six months and can be 20 times More expensive. Hamburg said the . Government has vowed to eradicate to by the year 2010 but has failed to Back its commitment with dollars. Washington provided $9 million for to control nationwide last year at a time when new York City alone was requesting $15 million she said. Astronomers mystified by approaching visitor by new Day something Odd and unexplained is gradually creeping toward Earth from outer space astronomers report and they cannot Tell yet whether it is an unidentified spacecraft or just an old Rock. If it is a spacecraft said astronomer Brian Marsden it is probably one sent up by the United states or the soviet Union decades ago and now returning by Surprise. A it has never happened before i think that something has come Back that people weren to expecting a Marsden said tuesday in a Telephone interview. Marsden is director of the International astronomical unions Central Telegram Bureau in Cambridge mass. A a it a very slowly closing in on us a he added and will pass about 300,000 Miles from Earth on dec. 5. A it will pass us. Its not going to hit a 300,000 Miles is 300,000  the faint object was discovered nov. 6 at a distance of 2 million Miles by astronomer Jim Scotti of the University of arizonans lunar and planetary Laboratory. Its engineers tackle grounded shuttle s problem Cape canaveral Fla. Up a engineers worked through wednesday morning to open the shuttle Atlantis cargo Bay doors for a satellite repair Job that has delayed Takeoff until at least sunday. Atlantis liftoff on a 10-Day military Mission had been planned for 6 51 . Tuesday. But the flight was put on hold earlier in the Day when engineers discovered problems with the navigation system of a Booster rocket. The rocket is needed by the ships primary payload a $300 million Early warning satellite. If work to install the new unit goes orbit turned out to be remarkably similar to the Earth a orbit around the Sun suggesting something Odd is going on. Asteroids sometimes come close to Earth but they rarely have Earth like orbits identified. But he said a a we re still looking. We Haven to identified any reasonable candidates  a possibility Marsden said is that a Large rocket or other object fired toward the Moon during project Apollo was kicked into solar orbit by the Moons gravitational Energy and has been circling the Sun Ever since. A nobody keeps track of what a in inter planetary space a Yeomans added a there Are lots of records of what sir Earth orbit but there a no comparable monitoring of interplanetary Craft. A a substantial number of space Mission have been sent to Mercury Venus Mars Jupiter and beyond so the object now approaching Earth May be one of those Early missions or one of the big rocket used to boost them out of Earth a Vicinity Marsden said the object is still to it Small and too faint to be identified visually so it is hard to say How big it is. Records of see if a Likely spacecraft can Quot be Martwi a he Quot a a smoothly Atlantis interrupted countdown will be restarted at 12 01  wednesday leading to a launch attempt at 6 31 . Sunday. The goal of the flight the second of nine Pentagon chartered missions is to deploy a the defense support program satellite six hours and 19 minutes after Takeoff. One hour after its ejection from Atlantis cargo Bay the first stage of the satellite s Boeing built $50 million inertial upper stage Booster is scheduled a a ,e,a"be8in the climb from the shuttle s 224-mile-High orbit to an operational Altitude of 22,300 Miles.
