"Sixty-six men and 152 women (14.2% and 32.3%, respectively) reported childhood experiences that satisfied criteria for sexual abuse, and 103 males and 92 females (22.2% and 19.5%, respectively) met criteria for physical abuse."
"It is concluded that functional amnesic states, confined to a patient's biography, can be triggered by environmentally induced stress and trauma, leading to lasting inability to retrieve autobiographical events."

two from Backlash_ology Prevalence and psychological sequelae of self-reported childhood physical and sexual abuse in a general population sample of men and women. Briere J, Elliott DM Child Abuse Negl. 2003 Oct; 27(10):1205-22 "A national sampling service generated a geographically stratified, random sample of 1,442 subjects from the United States....Of all potential subjects, 935 (64.8%) returned substantially completed surveys. RESULTS: Sixty-six men and 152 women (14.2% and 32.3%, respectively) reported childhood experiences that satisfied criteria for sexual abuse, and 103 males and 92 females (22.2% and 19.5%, respectively) met criteria for physical abuse. Twenty-one percent of subjects with one type of abuse also had experienced the other type, and both types were associated with subsequent adult victimization. After controlling for demographics, adult history of interpersonal violence, and other child abuse, childhood sexual abuse was associated with all 10 scales of the TSI, and physical abuse was related to all TSI scales except those tapping sexual issues. Sexual abuse predicted more symptom variance than did physical abuse or adult interpersonal victimization."

Neuroimage 2003 Nov; 20 Suppl 1:S132-8. Psychogenic amnesia Markowitsch HJ "Experimental data, obtained especially with functional imaging methods, are presented to elucidate changes in neural activation during functional amnesic states. It is concluded that functional amnesic states, confined to a patient's biography, can be triggered by environmentally induced stress and trauma, leading to lasting inability to retrieve autobiographical events. Such an impairment may be identified at the brain level using functional imaging techniques." Physiological Psychology, University of Bielefeld, D-33501, Bielefeld, Germany
from L Moss Sharman Bishops 'Turned the Corner' on Scandal, Leader Says - Victims Group Lists 13 More Alleged Abusers By Alan Cooperman 11/12/03 "The president of the nation's Roman Catholic bishops said yesterday the group has "turned the corner" on the scandal of sexual abuse by priests, but a victims group said it has found at least 13 alleged abusers who were kept in ministry by bishops in 2003. Leaders of the 4,600-member Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests issued a list of the 13 "known or suspected abusers" http://www.washingtonpost.com/

Devices that read human thought now possible, study says - Brain implants could help severely disabled Carl T. Hall 11/10/03 "New Orleans -- Less than a month after a widely heralded experiment showed how thought-reading implants can work in monkeys, scientists presented new findings Sunday suggesting such machines could work in people, too. Dr. Miguel A.L. Nicolelis of Duke University said previously unreported human experiments demonstrated success with one type of a so-called brain computer interface, or BCI." http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/11/10/MNGK82U4MV1.DTL
from L Moss Sharman Looking for veterans gassed at Suffield H. P. Friesen The Province 11/11/03 "Between 1941 and 1945, the government of Canada subjected more than 2,500 young Canadian soldiers to chemical weapons experiments at CFB Suffield, Alta. These experiments were undertaken without the informed consent of these brave young men. As a consequence of these horrendous experiments, many of them have suffered life-long physical and psychological damage. Until recently, the government has refused to acknowledge the occurrence of these chemical weapon experiments. The Department of National Defence has declassified the tests so the participants are no longer bound by the sworn oath of secrecy. They can now tell their story." http://www.canada.com/vancouver
