Real Presence In Eucharist}

The Catholic Church, since its inception, has always believed in the Real Presence of Jesus in the form o the Eucharist. As a child celebrates their first communion, they too are about to take part in this honored tradition. The Eucharist is the one sacrament that is representative or Christs sacrifice on the cross and his resurrection. The Mass is the vehicle that gives us this special presence.

The teaching that communion was the presence of Jesus and not a symbol goes back the to the council of Trent, which said that the when the bread and wine are consecrated, the whole substance of the bread is transformed into the Body of the Lord. Additionally the same is the whole substance of the wine is transformed into the Precious Blood. When the point in the mass comes and the host is consecrated the church calls this change the transubstantiation. It requires the recipient to have a great faith where as it transcends our human understanding of how this change was made, the mystery of the sacrament of Holy Communion.

The simplest way to explain the concept of real presence is the Eucharist really is the Real Jesus. There are no qualifiers. Catholics do not believe it is a symbol of Jesus. There was a period in time when the belief of Real Presence was threatened. The first occurrence was in the Middle Ages, when some of the French Theologians expressed doubt in the Jesus real presence in the Eucharist. Berengarius of Tours claimed that it was not possible to change the substance of the bread and wine and denied that Christs body was on the altar. He based his argument on the pure fact that Jesus could not be present on Earth prior to the Last Judgment.

Pope Gregory VII demanded that Berengarius to agree with the profession of that that was the outline of faith. The fundamental belief was that without question Jesus was present on the altar. Pope Gregory went on to say that the words are not clearer. That reality means that it is actually Christ in the Eucharist. He said it was the same Christ that was conceived in Nazareth, Born in Bethlehem, died and rose from the dead at Jerusalem and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. It is also the same Christ that will call us when we pass out of time into eternity. It is the same Christ who will appear at the end of the world to judge the living and the dead. It is the Christ who is the Omega of the universe and the goal of human destiny, Pope Gregory concluded. He ended this crisis of faith and Berengarius died in 1088.

The second time this crisis came forth was at the time of the Protestant Reformation. There were similar claims that Berengarian made in the early middle ages. This time the Church used the Council of Trent to reinforce that Jesus is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.

As children wear their communion ties and first communion dresses, there is a great history that long substantiates the basic principle they should have been taught in the communion preparation class, that Jesus is truly present

Tax Accountants Have A Responsibility Of Maintaining The Taxation Procedures Expertly}

By

On March 13, 2017

In Tax

Submitted by: Dina Hassan

It happens to be a general misconception that we common people might think that a tax accountant may not be of any importance to us and he has nothing to do with us however the fact is pretty contradictory, a tax accountant can help us in a very important way. He/she understands the taxation system widely and on a professional basis indeed, so he/she will be able to keep us update and let us know about the changes in taxation like the rise and fall in the rates of deduction that tend to be very fluctuating. Also a tax accountant can tell us how to make sure to take all of the deductions we might be allowed to take, Also how our income with taxable capacity might be affected in the occurrence of any change in rates. A tax accountant and a tax attorney are complementary to each other; a tax accountant however can alert us before the damage would take place, and he/she can assist us in the minutest details of taxation and its complexities.

Tax accounting is a much-diversified field and so are its services. Lebanon audit and accounting services system is a very complicated affair hence a very complex and specialized software has been designed for this purpose and to fulfill the minutest details about this complex system, its components therefore adhere to various tax forms. If defined tax accounting, it covers up a variety of subjects like the trucking owner operator tax accounting and taxation for construction accounting.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6ZXf8fjmTs[/youtube]

Tax accounting proves to be a very intricate field and it hardly matters whether you are a tax accountant in Lebanon or across an accountant in any other part of Asia and/or a European nation, as the processes and procedures are typically very similar. With the explosive nature of the market, a tax accountant has to keep himself updated with the day-to-day changes in the taxation field. Indeed the key to success in the tax accounting field is that a tax accountant has to be flexible enough to accept and react to the unpredictable changes in this field, as only then will he/she be able to advise his clients on the existing market situations.

Many tax accountants are on employed and registered with a CPA or an accounting firm. The accountant and the secretarial tax subordinate work together to make certain that all of the client’s figures are correct and make sure that all deductions are legal. Lebanon tax accountants particularly are very intricate observers and they will make sure that all documents are legally attested and also that all deductions that the client is entitled to have been taken as well that he/she might be able to prepare tax returns of the client. An accountant cannot specify the timings of his job. No tax accountant works from 9 to 5; he has appropriate timings or approaching deadlines to deal with. Therefore, it is necessary that a tax accountant keeps this in mind before taking up this field. There will be times that they must stay to accommodate the needs of their clients, especially during the taxing season.

As one takes up tax accounting as a field professionally, he/she should first consult a real life tax accountant or at least look up for the information on this career and its requirements. A career guidance program in ones college or a general career consultant might be of utmost importance. As mentioned earlier, tax accountants and tax attorneys work closely knitted hence a person opting for any of these fields will have close connection with both. Also, indeed his alertness for the changes in the taxing fields will be tested, So when heading for a tax accountants field, one should look up the cost and the benefits of this field and analyze if he/she can fulfill these with all his abilities or not.

UK chancellor raises national insurance payments for self employed in new budget

By

On March 13, 2017

Friday, March 10, 2017

UK chancellor Philip Hammond announced his 2017 budget on Wednesday, which included a £2 billion pledge to social care and a tax hike on the self-employed. It was accused of breaking Conservative Party manifesto promises.

It was announced there will be a 2% increase in national insurance contributions for the self-employed, with chancellor Philip Hammond citing worries that people were choosing to become self-employed in order to to pay lower taxes and his perception of unfairness in the different rates payed by employees and self-employees. There were accusations this change in policy goes against the manifesto promises the Conservative Party ran on in 2015, which promised four times that there would be no increase in national insurance rates. Conservative MP Anna Soubry tweeted saying she believed these new measures would be unpopular as many would see them as unfair. Leader of the opposition Jeremy Corbyn claimed the new measures will not clamp down on people whose self-employment is just for tax benefits, instead causing problems for those legitimately self-employed, arguing that if they are to start paying similar tax rates to the employed then they should get rights such as statutory maternity pay. The think tank Resolution claimed, however, this increase is outweighed by other government policies and is therefore a good move.

In addition to this, the chancellor announced a £2 billion pledge to social care over the next three years, saying he was aware of the stress the ageing population is having on the NHS and social care. Liberal Democrat Norman Lamb described the amount as “wholly inadequate”, saying much more is needed to pay for an increase in care demands due to the ageing population. The lowest threshold at which shareholders pay dividend taxes is to be lowered from £5,000 to £2,000 claiming that the taxes for dividends provided “an extremely generous tax break for investors with substantial share portfolios”. Other budget announcements include an additional £325 million for the NHS, £90 million transport spending for the North of England, £20 million to support campaigning against violence against girls and women and a slight increase in funding for the devolved governments.

Australian treasurer attacks opposition leader’s tax question error

By

File:AUS$20 John Flynn.jpg

The ability of Australian opposition leader, Kevin Rudd to run the country’s economy has been questioned by the Government after he made an error responding to a question on Australia’s current tax system today. Speaking in Queanbeyan, New South Wales earlier today, Mr Rudd was asked if he could name the current tax rates and the thresholds at which they kick in.

Mr Rudd said that he thought the top tax rate started at AUD$175,000. In fact, Australia’s top taxation rate begins at $150,000. “Well, as of July 1, if you went through the four thresholds, I think the high threshold kicks in I think at $175,000, then I think it cascades down the spectrum,” Mr Rudd told reporters.

Australian treasurer Peter Costello, who introduced the tax threshold changes, has seized on the opposition leader’s uncertainty, claiming that “he has never cared about economic policy, he has no interest in it,” he said.

Treasurer Costello claimed: “He was exposed as a fraud on productivity and we don’t hear him talking about productivity very much anymore.

“Now he has been exposed as being naked when it comes to understanding the tax system.”

Mr Costello demanded that the opposition release their taxation policy. “Since the Labor Party demands an election to be called on a daily basis, you would think they might have the decency of releasing a policy so that people can know what it is,” said Costello.

A Federal election is expected in Australia in the next three months and the Coalition Government is trailing the Opposition by ten percentage points on a two-party preferred basis.

New Democrats score upset in Ontario’s Parkdale-High Park by-election

By

On March 13, 2017

Friday, September 15, 2006

The Ontario New Democratic Party has scored an upset victory in a hotly contested provincial by-election in the Toronto riding of Parkdale—High Park. New Democrat Cheri DiNovo defeated Ontario Liberal Party candidate Sylvia Watson by over 2,000 votes. DiNovo received 41% of the vote compared to 33% for Watson. Progressive Conservative Dave Hutcheon was third with 17% of the vote while Green Party leader Frank De Jong was fourth with 6%.

The by-election was an important one for the ruling Ontario Liberal Party as the province enters an election year. The Liberals held the riding until former MPP Gerard Kennedy resigned, earlier this year, to focus on his bid to win the leadership of the federal Liberal Party of Canada. In the 2003 provincial election he held the riding with a commanding 57% of the vote.

Speaking Thursday night, NDP leader Howard Hampton said “There are no safe seats for the McGuinty government. People see us as a viable option.”

Despite having been considered one of the safest Liberal seats in the province the by-election campaign has gone badly for the Grits who have pulled out all the stops in the past week after internal polling showed them in danger of losing. On Monday, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty and eleven of members of his cabinet spent much of the day campaigning in the riding. The last seven days has also seen a series of aggressive accusations aimed at DiNovo, a United Church minister. The allegations, which were initially made on blogs and anonymous fliers have, in the past few days, been issued in official Liberal Party press releases and statements and accuse her of not being suited for sitting in the provincial legislature. They focused on her admitted drug use when she was a street kid in the 1960s and what a Toronto Star column called “carefully edited excerpts from her sermons”. Liberal candidate Sylvia Watson, a Toronto City Councillor, issued a press release alleging that DiNovo described the media’s treatment of murderer Karla Homolka to the “persecution of Jesus Christ”. DiNovo, who has billed herself as the “Radical Reverend” responded by saying the comments were taken entirely out of context and threatened to sue Watson’s campaign.

Toronto mayor David Miller issued a statement denouncing the Liberal tactics as a “smear” while the media has been generally critical of the Liberal attacks on DiNovo as has the Progressive Conservatives whose candidate, Dave Hutcheon accused the Liberals of trying to “assassinate the character” of DiNovo. Premier McGuinty responded to the negative reaction saying “Look, it’s a tough by-election for us.”

Some Liberals and some columnists have argued that the anti-DiNovo campaign is payback for the 2001 Beaches—East York by-election in which the NDP suggested that a sex scene in a novel written by Liberal candidate Bob Hunter condoned pedophilia.

Graham White, a political science professor at the University of Toronto, told the Globe and Mail that the tactics might hurt the Liberals. “It just looks like really bad politics,” he said. “Even if this is enough to sway voters in the riding for the by-election, it seems to me the larger risk is very substanial.”

Criticism over Qingzang Railway as opening nears

By

On March 13, 2017

Friday, April 28, 2006
            Claimed by Tibetan exile groups.
Tibetan areas designated by PRC.
Tibet Autonomous Region (actual control).
Claimed by India as part of Aksai Chin.
Claimed by the PRC as part of TAR.
Other historically culturally-Tibetan areas.

The Qingzang Railway is a project by the Chinese Government to build a unique railway linking Tibet with Mainland China. The railway will include sections at high altitude, crossing 5000 metre high mountains, long tunnels and lots of track laid on permafrost. The railway is being hailed in China as “an engineering miracle”, but has attracted criticism from across the world over fears that the railway, the first to link it to outside the region, will increase Chinese control over the Tibetan autonomous region and will erode Tibetan culture and traditions.

Currently, Tibet can only be reached by air and by road. Departing from lower-altitude airports to fly into Tibet carries the risk of experiencing high altitude sickness, and the landing at Lhasa can be ‘hair-raising’. Travelling by road means several days on a bus or hitchhiking on trucks over windy mountain roads. When the Quingzang Railway opens, it is expected that direct trains will run from Beijing and other cities.

China has long received criticism over its treatment of Tibet. The Tibet Autonomous Region excludes many areas claimed to be part of ‘historic Tibet’, and the former government of Tibet, headed by the Dalai Lama, now live in exile in India. China claims that the railway will bring greater freedoms and economic opportunities to the people of Tibet. For an area that has long been in relative isolation though, the railway is bound to have a profound effect. Locals may worry about what would happen to their trade if they were suddenly forced to compete with businesses from Mainland China. Much of Tibet is also ancient, with old buildings and traditional practices, which may be under threat from the new physical link with China.

There are also concerns from environmentalists. The passage between Tibet and China contains some unique flora and endangered animal species, such as Tibetan antelope, which may be threatened by the railroad. Construction of the railway will generate 7,000 tons of rubbish from 20,000 builders. Some of this rubbish will have been buried on the spot whilst some forms of non-degradable rubbish which may pollute water is said to have been transported to Golmud or Lhasa for treatment. A bridge is also said to have been built at Wudaoliang Basin to enable animals to cross. Once open the railway will generate more waste, and whilst the carriages are said to be enclosed, preventing passengers from throwing out rubbish, it remains to be seen what additional impact the running of the railway will create.

As well as passengers, the railway will also have a strong use in transporting freight, currently carried on trucks. This will mean that more coal and petroleum-based products will be brought into Tibet. Whilst China claims that this will enable Tibetans to stop logging pine trees for fuel, aiding the local ecology, the railway will accelerate Tibet’s use of climate-damaging fossil fuels.

Some Canadian student groups had called for a boycott of the Bombardier Transportation group, who has a contract with China to provide some of the carriages.

Most of the line is now complete, ahead of schedule. Signaling equipment is currently being installed, with trials said to begin in July. The railway is scheduled to open fully in 2007. Luxury carriages will carry tourists, with sleeping compartments and oxygen tanks to enable breathing within the high-altitude areas.

Augusten Burroughs on addiction, writing, his family and his new book

By

On March 13, 2017

Friday, October 12, 2007

I had an unofficial phone call from Gay Talese last Tuesday. He had just flown back from Colombia and he was cranky. “I’m happy to do an interview with you,” he said, “but what the hell could you ask me that’s not already out there? Have you even bothered to look?!”

“Jeez, Mr. Talese, lots of things,” was my response. I lied. The truth is that when I call people to interview them, I do not have a set of preconceived questions. My agenda is to talk to them and gain a sense of who they are; to flesh them out as humans. To find out what they think about the world around them at that moment. With Gay Talese I had little interest in talking about Frank Sinatra Has a Cold and with Augusten Burroughs I had little interest in discussing Running with Scissors. I want to know what they think about things outside of the boxes people have placed them in.

With a memoirist like Burroughs, even this is a challenge. What parts of his life he has not written about himself, other interviewers have strip-mined. When we met for dinner at Lavagna in the East Village, I explained to Augusten this issue. I suggested we make the interview more of a conversation to see if that would be more interesting. “Instead of you in the catbird seat,” I said, “let’s just talk.”

We struck an instant rapport. What set out to be an hour and half interview over dinner had turned into four hours of discussion about our lives similarly lived. I removed half of the interview: the half that focused on me.

Below is Wikinews reporter David Shankbone’s conversation with writer Augusten Burroughs.

DEFY DROOPY EYES

With adept use of eyeliner you can visually lift the outer corners of your eyes, giving them an almond-shaped appearance. Line your upper lashes with black eyeliner, making the line slightly thicker at the outer corners.

Finish with a subtle “flick” before applying mascara to boost lash length and volume. A liquid liner like Max Factor Masterpiece Glide & Define Liquid Eyeliner, RRP $19.95 (right) will give you a more precise application.

BROW-RAISING

Your eyebrows are a powerful anti-ageing feature – if you treat them with respect. When shaped to suit your face and filled in they can provide your face with an instant lift. If your brows have bnecome sparse with age, simply fill them in with a brow pencil one shade lighter than your brows (unless you’re blonde, in which case try one shade darker) to help emphasise your bone structure and create a fuller appearance.

Use short, feathering strokes and concentrate colour on the top edges of brows. To improve their shape, consult a professional who can guide you in the right direction – one shape does not fit all. Follow their tips at home with the help of a brow-shaping kit like Benefit Brow Zings.

GET GLOWING

Bronzer is a great tool for mature skin – but only when applied correctly. “Remember there is a difference between `sun-kissed’ and `sun-tanned’,” advises Estee Lauder makeup artist Jahi Ireland. Using a matt bronzer, gently sweep all over your face with a large makeup brush.

We like Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Soft Matte Bronzer. Finish with soft pink blush over the cheekbones for a natural glow.

WHAT A CHEEK!

Anyone can fake chiselled cheekbones with the help of a contouring and highlighting blush. Use a duo such as Bourjois Sculpting Duo Effect Blush in Medium Pink, RRP $23 (below, left), applying the darker shade from the hollow of your cheek (just beneath your cheekbone) to up towards your temples.

The goal os to create a shadow which adds definition to your facial features. Be sure to beldn awaye any harsh lines.

Next, highlight your bone structure by sweeping the lightest shade over the top of your cheekbones.

Now that your cheeks are defined, you can leave them as they are or finish by applying your favourite blush shade over the apples of your cheeks.

PLUMP YOUR POUT

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgkYHhG18uc[/youtube]

Age may have left you with thinner lips and fine lines but that doesn’t mean you have to accept it as inevitable. To make lips appear fuller, dab a sheer gloss in the centre of your lower lip to reflect light. Another option is to apply a lip-plumping gloss throughout the day.

CAMOUFLAGE

Used correctly, concealer can be your best friend (and vice versa). It’s definitely worth getting it right. Start with a concealer that’s one shade lighter than your skin tone and has a yellow base, as this will offset the blue tones of your circles.

Try Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Eye Concealer in Light Medium. After your foundation has set, dab concealer (using your index finger or a concealer brush) over your whole under-eye area, including under your lash line and on the inner corner towards the bridge of your nose.

Build the coverage with layers rather than one thick coat, allowing each application to set before applying another. But also remember not to overdo it! Once you’ve reached your desired coverage and your dark circles have vanished (or at least diminished), set the concealer with a fine layer of translucent mineral powder.

PRIME YOUR CANVAS

Primer is possibly one of those products you’re not too familiar with but it will enhance your whole look. Not only does it help foundation in place longer but for mature skin, it’s great for filling in fine lines, evening out skin tone and reducing shine.

Look for primers that contain silicone, as it blurs fine lines and gives skin a fresh and smooth finish. We recommend Jan Marini Age Intervention Prime Face primer.

FLASH LASHES

As we age, our lashes can become dry and brittle, which causes them to thin out and lose their colour. To promote a fuller appearance try false lashes. Use individual lashes to add thickness where it’s most needed. Try Revlon Fantasy Lengths Maximum Wear Lashes.

WHITER WHITES

A navy eyeliner is great for offsetting the yellow effects of ageing around the eyes.

Apply along the upper lash line and outer corner. Try Revlon Luxurious Color Eyeliner in Blackened Sapphire.

HANDS OF TIME

“Mature hands are prone to dryness, which highlights fine lines and discolouration,” explains Fiona Hay, ORLY nail products’ creative director. She recommends keeping hands well moisturised by applying a c

ream a few times a day and exfolitaing once or twice a week with a good hand scrub.

Try Avon’s new Avon Anew Clinical Luminosity Pro Brightening Hand Cream SPF 15, which will help even out brown discolourations and offer sun protection into the bargain.

Just as hands show wrinkles with age, so do nails. “Our nails show signs of ageing by forming ridges in the nail plates,” says OPI educator Karon McKendrick-Taylor. Contour the peaks of these ridges with a gentle buff and fill in the “valleys” with a product like OPI Ridge Filler.

Once applied, your lacquer will appear smoother. Karon recommends darker shades, which make the surrounding skin appear whiter, brighter and more youthful.

MILLION DOLLAR SMILE

Yellowing teeth are a sign you’ve enjoyed all the vices of adulthood, such as tea and coffee, red wine and cigarettes. There are many ways to restore your teeth to a whiter, more youthful shade using home bleaching kits or professional whitenings systems in the dentist’s chair, but for an immediate improvment, apply a cool-toned lipstick.

Eight colours in the Clinique range have been identified as making teeth appear up to two shades whiter. Try Clinique High Impact Lip Color in Rose Spectrum.

EYES BRIGHT

Coloured contact lenses may be one way to enhgance your eyes, but the right eyeshadow can be ultra-effective:

To make blue eyes pop, use shades darker than your eye colour. Tones of silver, turquoise and fuchsia will also add bang to blue eyes.

Green eyes come to life with browns, peach, purple, deep plum, khaki and forest greens. At night, opt for golds, lime greens and vibrant purples.

Good news brown-eyed girls – your eyes respond the best to using only a little colour. Use shades such a copper, bronze or brown to accent your eyes. But if you want to wear more colour try khaki, royal blue, hot pink or lime green for a vibrant effect.

BASE CAMP

While you may think the more wrinkles you have, the heavier your foundation needs to be, this is not the case. A thick application will sink into your wrinkles and only accentuate them.

Try a tinted moisturiser or lightweight foundation and apply only on the areas that need covering up. We love Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Foundation, because it is both lightweight and contains anti-ageing ingredients that firm and tone the skin throughout the day.

FREEZE!

If you’re not ready to take the Botox plunge, to downplay lines and wrinkles try an instant filler, like Freezeframe with Inhibox, which as the name suggests claims to freeze the appearance of lines and wrinkles for several hours.

CREATIVE CONTOURING

If you’re not blessed with a perfect oval-shaped face (and how many of us are?!), strategic contouring will help you transform your face. Follow these simple steps to bring out your best features:

ROUND FACE

1. To create a slimming illusion, use a large, round makeup brush. Dip into a highlighting powder and skae off excess. Sweep powder across the middle of your chin, forehead and the area between the top of your cheekbones and just beneath your eyes, using long, broad strokes.

2. With a clean makeup brush, apply bronzer across cheeks, temples and jawline to contour. Choose a bronzer two shades darker than your natural skin tone. This serves to create the illusionj of a more oval and slimmer face.

LONG FACE

1. Skip the highlighting powder as it will only elongate your face further. Instead, sweep the bronzer across your chin to make it appear shorter.

2. Apply blush over the apples of your cheeks and out towards the tops of your ears. This will balance out the length of your face.

HEART-SHAPED FACE

1. Start off by highlighting the area between the top of your cheekbones and underneath the eyes with highlighting powder.

2. Minimise the width of your face by applying bronzer or pressed powder over the contours of your cheeks and temples.

SQUARE FACE

1. Your aim with a square face is to add length through the centre. Contour your temples and the corners of your jawline with bronzer.

2. Apply highlighting powder to your upper cheekbones , the middle of your forehead and the tip of your chin. This will draw attention to the middle of your face and away from its square edges.Beauty | Cosmetics | Womens Club | Women Empowerment | Womens Network

Pennsylvania cop on trial for allegedly murdering girlfriend’s estranged husband

By

On March 12, 2017

Tuesday, March 10, 2009

The trial began today for a Pennsylvania state trooper accused of killing his girlfriend’s estranged husband.

Kevin Foley, 43, is accused of cutting the throat of John Yelenic, a dentist who was in the final stages of finalizing a divorce from his wife, Michele. According to prosecutors, Foley “loathed Dr. Yelenic” so much that he asked another fellow trooper to help him commit the alleged murder, which occurred in Yelenic’s Blairsville home.

Deputy Attorney General Anthony Krastek told an Indiana County jury that Foley also prayed Yelenic would die, and spread false rumors that Yelenic molested his adopted son.

“You will see Kevin Foley has the motive, the opportunity and the ability to commit this crime, almost to the exclusion of anybody else,” Krastek said.

Foley’s defense attorney, Jeffrey Monzo, said during opening statements that DNA evidence was not conclusive. Monzo admitted to the jury that Foley did not like Yelenic, but said that does not mean he murdered him.

“Kevin Foley is innocent,” he said.

Prosecutors said they could call as many as 70 witnesses to try and prove Foley wanted Yelenic to die. The trial, at the Indiana County Courthouse, is expected to last about three weeks.

Foley, who is on unpaid suspension from the Pennsylvania State Police, is charged with criminal homicide. The jury has the option of convicting him of first-degree murder, which could put Foley in prison for life without parole, or of a lesser degree charge, like manslaughter.

John Yelenic was found dead in his home on April 13, 2006, one day before he was planning on signing his divorce papers. Prosecutors said Foley killed Yelenic after going to the dentist’s house to confront him over the terms of the divorce. Prosecutors claim Foley slashed Yelenic several times with a knife and pushed his head through a small window, causing a further gash on his neck. Yelenic bled to death.

Foley had been living with Michele Yelenic for two years at the time of the alleged homicide. Krastek said Michele also helped perpetuate rumors that Dr. Yelenic molested their son. John and Michele Yelenic had been separated in 2002. Michele Yelenic stood to collect Dr. Yelenic’s estate and a $1 million life insurance policy, and could lose about $2,500 a month in support if the divorce was finalized, a Pennsylvania grand jury previously determined.

Michele Yelenic is expected to testify that Foley was home with her when the alleged murder occurred. Krastek told the jury DNA under Yelenic’s fingerprints will ultimately link him to the murder, as will bloody shoe prints found at the crime scene that match athletic shoes Foley is known to wear.

Monzo also said authorities have failed to investigate several other suspects, including Yelenic’s neighbor. Monzo said Yelenic was on very friendly terms with the neighbor’s wife, which could have given him a motive to commit the murder.

Prior to the trial, Foley’s defense attorneys unsuccessfully sought a change of venue because an overwhelming majority of the jury pool was familiar with the allegations. The change was denied when jurors insisted they had not formed an opinion about the charges.
