A day after fellow Democrats called for his resignation, San Diego Mayor Bob Filner announced Friday that he will take a two-week hiatus for "intensive counseling" in response to a tide of sexual harassment allegations.
"Beginning on August 5, I will be entering a behavior counseling clinic for two weeks of intensive therapy to begin the process of addressing my behavior," Filner told reporters, reading a prepared statement.
Saying he had apologized to his staff, the citizens, and the "women I have offended," the mayor said, "It is simply not acceptable to explain away my conduct as the product of the standards of a different generation."
Filner said during his two-week "full-time" stay at the clinic, he will be briefed on city matters. San Diego's city charter does not require him to appoint an interim mayor for a temporary absence.
Filner said he would return to office on August 19 and "my focus will be on making sure I am doing right by this city by being the best mayor I can be and being the best person I must be."
He said he will take part in regular counseling after his clinic stay.
It's unlikely that his decision will quell the mounting calls for his resignation.
One of his accusers, Morgan Rose, told CNN's Poppy Harlow that his announcement shows that "he's addicted to power and control."
"I think this is a man who demonstrates an extreme narcissistic profile," Rose said after Filner's announcement. "He is doing this because he can keep the control and power. He is not giving that up for us. If he truly was repentant he would. He would realize how hurtful he was to us."
Seven women -- including Rose -- have publicly accused Filner of unwanted groping, kissing or other inappropriate contact. Many of the accusations allegedly took place during his five terms in Congress, before he was elected mayor last year.

The 3-D rifle being tested.
A man who used a 3-D printer to make the first .22-caliber rifle out of largely plastic parts has successfully fired off a shot with the weapon. The homemade rifle subsequently broke, however. Still, the rifle maker ? who previously used a 3-D printer to create two ukuleles (yes, ukuleles) ? said he will try again.
The rifle creator, named Matt, agreed to a brief interview with NBC News via email but declined to give his last name. The printing of 3-D guns is a relatively new ? and controversial ? phenomenon, especially in the U.S. following horrific shootings in Aurora, Colo., Newtown, Conn., and Santa Monica, Calif. Some U.S. legislators are pushing laws to ban the printing, and there is software out there aimed at preventing the manufacture of firearm devices.
Matt, who lives in British Columbia, Canada, said he was "inspired" to create the rifle based on the work of Defense Distributed, which last spring released downloadable files for anyone who wants to print its 3-D gun known as the Liberator. Since then, models of the gun pieces have been downloaded more than 100,000 times.
Cody Wilson, the Texas law student who started the non-profit Defense Distributed, shared the video Matt posted on YouTube of the 3-D printed rifle firing on a Tumblr blog. Wilson told NBC News he is "impressed" with Matt's work.
"I know nothing about him other than he's a committed designer who likes to work on these projects," Wilson said. "As far as I know, it's the first 3-D printed rifle that's been tested."
Matt explained his approach in a blog post:
I was originally going to copy and modify the Liberator, but it may be considered a variant of a prohibited weapon up here, so I went with what we Canadian gun owners call a non-restricted rifle of my own design, which means a lot less paperwork and BS to deal with.
He named the rifle "Grizzly," in honor of the Canadian-built Sherman tanks from World War II.
The printing of such weapons requires an industrial-level 3-D printer, something Matt told NBC News that he has access to at the company he works for, which "makes tools related to the construction industry. " He said he was given permission at work to use the 3-D printer, a Stratasys Dimension 1200es. He previously created two 3-D ukuleles using the printer.
Matt said the rifle took him three days to build, and nearly 27 hours to print: 13 hours to print the receiver, 6-1/2 hours to print the barrel, 5 hours to print the stock and 2 hours to print the rifle's "internals," he told NBC News.
On the YouTube video, below, Matt notes that the rifle's barrel "split along both sides" and "the receiver split along the top, but it did fire the round."
Matt told NBC News he is interested in both 3-D printing as well as guns, and that while the rifle he created can't be repaired, "I am currently redesigning it and will try again." Also, he said he is "thinking of trying a violin once I perfect the ukuleles I printed."

Ever had one of those days when you wanted to translate a piece of foreign language text, but it couldn't be simply copy-pasted into a translation box (if it's part of an image or a real-world object), and you had no means to input that text using your En-US keyboard? We did.
The latest addition to Google Translate is a handwriting input feature, which lets you sketch up foreign language text as you see it, using a mouse pointer, or touch (on touchscreen devices). The service then attempts to make sense of your scribbles, and translates it. To use it, simply select your source language, if handwritten input for that language is supported, a "handwrite" option should show up in its "input tools" menu, denoted by a "pencil" icon.
You can then sketch in characters from that foreign language script, using a mouse or your touchscreen, and suggestions for characters and words will appear below as you draw. Select the character or word that appears closest to the source text, and it will be added to the input text box, and translated in real-time.
Handwritten input currently only supports 44 languages, luckily far-east languages like Chinese (Pinyin, Wubi, Zhuyin, and their traditional variants), Japanese, and Korean are on the list; so are languages that use Cyrillic script. Arabic, Persian, and the various Indian languages aren't supported yet, but Google plans to expand that list.

A former University of Nebraska at Omaha football coach is among 10 people arrested in Iowa as part of a prostitution sting.
Authorities in Council Bluffs, Iowa, just across the Missouri River from Omaha, Neb., say former UNO head football coach Pat Behrns was one of the 10 people arrested Tuesday at a Pottawattamie County hotel.
The 63-year-old Behrns served as the UNO Mavericks' head coach from 1994 until the century-old program was shut down in March 2011.
Before that, Behrns had been head coach of the University of North Dakota football team from 1980 to 1985.
Pottawattamie County Jail authorities say Behrns posted a $2,000 bond Tuesday evening to be released.
A message left Wednesday by The Associated Press at a phone listing for Patrick Behrns was not immediately returned.
