<p>Robert Vangheluwe, 73, has been the Bishop of Burges since 1984, but that all came to an end when he stepped down from his position. The Bishop admitted to sexaully abusing an associate of his, while he was a Priest, according to <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/24/world/europe/24vatican.html?ref=world">The New York Times</a>.</p>

<p>"This has marked the victim forever. The wound does not heal. Neither in me nor the victim, " Vangheluwe said, according to <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8639253.stm">the BBC</a>.</p>

<p>On many occasions he had asked the victim's family for forgiveness, but that was not good enough for the wound to heal, according to The New York Times.</p>

<p><br />
This week has seen many resignations of prominent Catholic Church clergy. Most of the resignations have been over things other than sexual abuse, according to the BBC.</p>]]>

<p>The accusations made by the 20-year-old female proved to not be enough evidence to convict Roethlisberger, District Attorney Fred Bright said, according to <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5078589">Espn</a>.</p>

<p>A letter from the accuser's lawyer also said that she did not want to press charges, according to Espn.</p>

<p>The investigation showed that the accuser was highly intoxicated that night. She went to the hospital after the alleged incident, where the doctor examining her could not prove that a sexaul assault had taken place, according to <a href="http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2010/04/georgia-da-fred-bright-pittsburgh-steelers-qb-ben-roethlisberger-charges-sexual-assault/1">USA Today</a>.</p>

<p>Roethlisberger was investigated to the fullest extent of the law and was not given special treatment because of his celebrity status, according to USA Today. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>The story about the <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8606483.stm">Maoist attacks</a> in India on the BBC website is very accurate according to Ravi, who is of Indian descent.</p>

<p>"The BBC does a good job of providing the right amount of background information when they report," Ravi said. "Whenever I read stories on the CNN Web site about India they always manage to link every story to Pakistan...like every problem involving India has something to do with Pakistan."</p>

<p>The quotes and facts used in the story accurately depict exactly what is going on between the Maoist rebels and the United Progressive Alliance. It also does a good job of giving insight into what is going and between the two sides and why the Maoists are attacking, according to Ravi.</p>

<p>Ravi, 21, is a student at the University of Minnesota. He is currently majoring in political science and says he reads the BBC Web site every morning to get his news. Both of his parents are of Indian descent </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>A teenager plead guilty last week to two counts of first-degree aggravated robbery, which occurred  Jan. 25. One of the robberies happened on the University of Minnesota campus.</p>

<p>Derrell Jacori Cole, 17, was sentenced to a juvenile program, probation, and stayed prison time Monday after he pleaded guilty to his charges. One of the guilty pleas was in connection with the robbery of two students at Moos Towers, according to the <a href="http://www.mndaily.com/2010/04/06/man-pleads-guilty-campus-robbery">Minnesota Daily</a>.</p>

<p>Police say that Cole crimes he committed on Jan. 25 are also in connection with the shooting of U of M student Timothy Schumacher. They are still investigating the incident, according to the Minnesota Daily.</p>

<p>Cole will not have to serve six years in prison, if he does not get into anymore trouble before he turns 21, according to the <a href="http://www.startribune.com/local/90115392.html?page=1&c=y">Star Tribune</a>.</p>

<p>A 21-year-old was arrested in February with Cole, about two weeks after the robberies, but was eventually released without being charged, according to the Star Tribune.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>President Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed an agreement Thursday to reduce the number of strategic nuclear weapons each country possesses.</p>

<p>Each country agreed to reduce the number of ready-to-use, long-range nuclear weapons to 1,550. Other areas of each country's nuclear stockpile is expected to be reduced, as well, according to <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/08/AR2010040801677_2.html?sid=ST2010040801040">The Washington Post</a>.</p>

<p>The act by both countries showed that the diminishing relationship between the two is starting to get better, according to the <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8607985.stm">BBC</a>.</p>

<p>"We have got a document that fully maintains the balance of interests between Russia and the US. The main thing is that there are no victors or losers here," Medvedev said, according to the BBC.</p>

<p>Officials are saying that the reduction of nuclear arms between the two countries are hopefully going to deter other countries from becoming nuclear powers, according to The Washington Post.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>St. Paul City Attorney John Choi resigned Tuesday, due to his current campaign for Ramsey County attorney.</p>

<p>Choi resigned because he did not want his office's image to become a liability during his campaign. "I don't want even the perception that the advice we give or actions we take to be about me running," Choi said, according to the <a href="http://www.twincities.com/stpaul/ci_14833611">Pioneer Press</a>.</p>

<p>Choi will still practice law as a civil attorney for the McGrann Shea Carnival Straughn & Lamb Firm, according to the <a href="http://www.startribune.com/local/stpaul/90026607.html?elr=KArks:DCiUoaW_eEO7UiD3aPc:_Yyc:aULPQL7PQLanchO7DiUr">Star Tribune</a>.</p>

<p>Some people might know Choi as the face of St. Paul, when referring to the arrests that were made after the 2008 Republican National Convention. Choi also changed a state law to allow civil injunctions to be filed by cities against criminal gang members, according to the Pioneer Press.</p>]]>
