Northern California priest faces 7 counts of molesting teen girl

SACRAMENTO -- A Catholic priest from Northern California has been arraigned on seven charges of child molestation involving a 14-year-old girl.

The Rev. Uriel Ojeda appeared in Sacramento County Superior Court on Friday, The Sacramento Bee reported. (http://bit.ly/s6SnS9 ) He did not enter a plea.

The 32-year-old priest has been a parochial vicar at Our Lady of Mercy parish in Redding, in Northern California, since 2009. Before that, he served at a parish in Woodland.

The charges filed Friday accuse him of lewd and lascivious acts with a 14-year-old girl on four different dates in 2007 and 2009.

Ojeda's attorney, Jesse Ortiz, asked people not to make judgments until the facts of the case are known. He called Ojeda "a good man who has dedicated his life to helping people."

'Harry Potter' And More: 10 Best Movie Posters Of 2011

'Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' and 'Dark Knight Rises' also caught our attention with a single image.

Although it doesn't always feel like the end of the movie season until the Golden Globes and Oscars come around in January and February, 2011 is coming to a close, so the MTV Movies team is reflecting on the cinematic year that was. We've already shared our 20 favorite trailers of the year, and now it's time for a look through the most artistic and silently titillating medium for movie marketing: posters.

10. "Ides of March"
How do you make a political drama look interesting? Before "The Ides of March" poster was unveiled, the answer to that question was likely "You can't. Political movies aren't sexy." Well, now they are, thanks to this stunner featuring the crafty and timely use of split-screen Photoshop action with handsome leading men Ryan Gosling and George Clooney.

9. "The Muppets"
When it comes to marketing a movie, we all know that the folks over at Disney are more than adept at engaging their target audiences. The recent "Muppets" ad campaigns were no exception, particularly the way in which the ads spoke to the older generations who grew up with Jim Henson's famous fuzzy friends. This clever, perfectly polished shot of Fozzie Bear, Kermit, Miss Piggy and Animal was a perfect appetizer.

8. "Drive"
There is not much more to say about Nicolas Refn's violent, arty, critical darling that hasn't already been said. Much like its trailer, the poster is cold and calculated and a fitting showcase for breakout, badass star Ryan Gosling.

7. "Shame"
Knowing what we do about "Shame," it's fitting that the most splendidly simple poster on this list represents the sauciest film of the year. Who would have thought that traditional white block lettering of the film's title over a mess of rumpled, wrinkled sheets could make you feel a little dirty just by looking at it.

6. "Midnight in Paris"
Just look at Owen Wilson, all relaxed and breezy taking a stroll along the river Seine in Woody Allen's romanticized vision of Paris. Not to mention the wonderful use of Van Gogh's famous "Starry Night" painted over half the scenery in the background. The poster captures the whimsical, caught-in-the-moment spirit of the film beautifully.

5. "Bridesmaids"
It is not often that a poster is enough to have us in line for tickets opening day, but this did just that. The pretty ladies in ridiculous dresses sporting their tough-girl expressions is a killer combo. This was an overwhelming case of love at first sight, and we're so happy the film went on to make a ton of money at the box office.

4. "The Dark Knight Rises"
Ever since he brought new life to the Batman franchise with 2005's "Batman Begins," Christopher Nolan's films have made headlines with brilliant marketing campaigns — most notably the "Why So Serious?" run for "The Dark Knight." Although we've barely scratched the surface of the promotional plans for "The Dark Knight Rises," this teaser poster certainly does the trick: interest and intrigue without a single actor or character featured. It also inspired some amazing fan art.

3. "50/50"
The tagline for this poster just about sums up everything we needed to know about the film: "It takes a pair to beat the odds." The fact that we later learned star Joseph Gordon-Levitt actually shaved his head for this scene only adds to this inspired and poignant "50/50" shot. That and Seth Rogen's appropriately appalled expression.

2. "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"
To say that David Fincher's English version of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" is highly anticipated is a gross understatement, much like saying this poster is simply provocative. There's so much going on in the subtext — if you can get past the cool sensuality of it all, that alluring tension between stars Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara, who seem to be daring us to come see them on opening day.

1. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2"
As "Harry Potter" fans well know, the movies get progressively dark and more intense, just as J.K. Rowling's books did, so it makes sense that Warner Bros. chose to steady the course with their promotional campaign. We could have highlighted several posters from "Deathly Hallows, Part 2," particularly the individual character posters, but this menacing shot of Voldemort and his "army" gave us a thrill and a chill at the same time. And anything that features Helena Bonham Carter's brilliantly crazy Bellatrix Lestrange is win/win.

Missouri House, Senate Districts Redrawn (ContributorNetwork)

A panel of six judges has redrawn the state's 34 Senate districts and 163 House districts. The Missouri Appellate Apportionment Commission released a statement and a map of the state with the completely redrawn districts.

Here is a look at the commission's work.

* Each district is supposed to have nearly the same population. From the greatest population to the smallest, there is a deviation of 7.46 percent in Senate districts and 7.8 percent in House districts.

* Candidates for office can start filing Feb. 28, 2012, in the new districts. Some races will have two incumbent office holders will be running against each other.

* Many districts gained population while others shrank. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports six judges were appointed by the Missouri Supreme Court after a bipartisan commission appointed by Gov. Jay Nixon failed to come up with a compromise for the new districts.

* Boundaries must be redrawn every 10 years because of the U.S. Census. The Missouri Constitution mandates districts must be redone to show population shifts.

* Four of the new Senate districts have African American majorities. Sixteen of the House districts are also apportioned this way.

* Two House districts were formed in areas where other racial minorities combine with African Americans to form a majority.

* Republicans and Democrats couldn't agree on a map. The commission took ideas from the General Assembly's map as well as coming up with ideas on their own.

* The first primary election for the new districts will be Aug. 7, 2012. Candidates have until March 27, 2012 to file their intentions to run for office.

* KOLR television in Springfield, Mo., reports even though the map was drawn by judges, citizens may still file lawsuits challenging the new districts. When districts were drawn after the 2000 election, a panel of six judges had to step in when both parties could not agree on a new apportionment.

* New districts often overlap into old ones. Others may have gotten bigger while others shrank. Legislators can run for office based upon the districts in which they live. When lines are redrawn, sometimes office holders have no choice but run against a fellow incumbent. Others may have completely new names running to represent their district in Jefferson City.

* To run for a House seat, you must be at least 24 years old, a qualified voter in Missouri for two years and you must have lived in the district you represent for one year.

* To qualify for a Senate position, you must be at least 30 years old and a qualified voter in Missouri for three years. Residency requirements are the same in the Senate districts as they are in the House--you have to live in your district for a year.

Ohio puts 200-pound third-grader in foster care (AP)

CLEVELAND ? An Ohio third-grader who weighs more than 200 pounds has been taken from his family and placed into foster care after county social workers said his mother wasn't doing enough to control his weight.

The Plain Dealer reports ( http://bit.ly/t68M7D) that the Cleveland 8-year-old is considered severely obese and at risk for such diseases as diabetes and hypertension.

The case is the first state officials can recall of a child being put in foster care strictly for a weight-related issue.

Lawyers for the mother say the county overreached when authorities took the boy last week. They say the medical problems he is at risk for do not yet pose an imminent danger.

A spokeswoman says the county removed the child because caseworkers saw his mother's inability to reduce his weight as medical neglect.

US to investigate deadly NATO airstrike (AP)

WASHINGTON ? The U.S. is planning its own investigation into NATO's deadly airstrikes in Pakistan, while two senior lawmakers called for tough diplomacy after Islamabad turned away supply convoys into Afghanistan and demanded that the U.S. vacate a drone base.

Gen. James Mattis, head of U.S. Central Command, which oversees American military operations in the region, was expected by Monday to name an investigating officer to examine the incident, according to a defense official who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

A key question to be examined by the U.S. is who approved the airstrikes and why.

The attack could become the deadliest friendly fire incident against Pakistani troops since the war began a decade ago. It also raises serious questions about the extent of cooperation between supposed close allies in fighting terrorism.

"There's a lot of diplomacy that has to occur and it has to be tough diplomacy in the sense that they need to understand that our support for them financially is dependent upon their cooperation with us," said Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, the Senate's No. 2 Republican.

Afghan officials say their soldiers called for help on Saturday after being fired upon from the direction of Pakistani border posts. Pakistani authorities claim the airstrikes were unprovoked.

NATO has said it is conducting an investigation of the incident. The alliance has not commented on Pakistani claims that the attacks killed 24 soldiers, but it has not questioned them.

Alliance officials previously have complained that insurgents fire from across the poorly defined frontier, often from positions close to Pakistani soldiers, who have been accused of tolerating or supporting them.

The incident threatens to send U.S.-Pakistani relations to an all-time low.

U.S. officials were already reeling in the wake of the raid in May on Osama bin Laden's hideout in a Pakistani garrison town. The Pakistan government was outraged it hadn't been told about the operation beforehand, and U.S. secrecy surrounding the operation underscored a deep mistrust between the two allies.

Frustration is particularly acute among members of Congress, who amid an economic recession are being asked to support billions in military and civilian aid for Pakistan.

Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking Democrat, said Pakistan's latest move to punish coalition forces for the airstrikes is further evidence that the U.S. must end its military involvement in the region and bring troops home.

"As difficult as it is to fight our way thru this diplomatic morass between the incompetence and maybe corruption of Afghanistan and the complicity in parts of Pakistan, our soldiers are caught right in the middle of this at a time they are trying to bring peace to the region," Durbin said.

While calling for tougher diplomacy with Pakistan, Kyl said he would stop short of cutting off U.S. aid entirely to Pakistan. He said that severing ties in the past has only led to an increased influence of Islamic extremists among Pakistan's military ranks.

"It's very important to maintain the relationship for the long haul," he said, without offering more specifics on how that might be done.

Durbin suggested the U.S. back out from the region from a military standpoint.

"We've got to leave it to Afghan forces," he said.

Kyl and Durbin spoke on "Fox News Sunday."
