John IX Pope from 898-900, John IX was a Benedictine, whose election was opposed by Sergius, a cardinal who later became Pope Sergius III. Having excommunicated his foe, John called a synod to rehabilitate Pope Formosus and to forbid trials of the dead. John confirmed the Constitutio Romana, which required imperial approval of all papal elections.

Text message donations hit $125,000 for Haiti
Canadians have raised more than $125,000 for earthquake-ravaged Haiti simply by texting donations through their cellphones, Rogers Communications Inc. says.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Canadians have raised more than $125,000 for earthquake-ravaged Haiti simply by texting donations through their cellphones, Rogers Communications Inc. says.
All at no cost to the donor.
Rogers waived its normal text message fee to ensure 100 per cent of the donations made through its charity of choice, the OnexOne Foundation, went to help Haitians, the company said Monday.
The standard industry fee for a text message is normally 15 cents.
Other companies have taken a similar approach since Rogers announced its plans last Wednesday. However, they were unable to provide immediate updates on the amounts that have been raised.
Visa Canada and MasterCard Canada confirmed they are not charging their usual "interchange" fee on donations to specified charitable organizations.
Interchange fees are paid by the recipient organization, such as the Canadian Red Cross. Normally, the credit card companies would take a fee out of the recipient's pocket.
In commercial transactions, such fees amount to $2 for every $100 a customer spends on a credit card.
Visa Canada announced last Friday it was waiving that fee for donations to Haiti made through Canadian Red Cross, CARE Canada, Save the Children Canada, UNICEF Canada and World Vision.
MasterCard waived fees on donations through CanadaHelps, Canadian Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières, Oxfam/Humanitarian Coalition, the Salvation Army, UNICEF Canada and World Vision.
Bell Mobility said it is waiving its text message fees for donations made through the Salvation Army, Plan Canada, the Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative and World Vision.

"The road environment is very different than our friendly home crowd, who when I looked up, half the stadium was gone when we were up 21 points early fourth quarter, which I wasn't so happy about. I don't think Jets fans leave early." -- Tom Brady, September 2010
No way around it: The crowd at Gillette Stadium is an absolute non-factor. Apathetic with the perfect splash of entitlement. You can reasonably expect Tom Brady to throw for 300 yards on Saturday night against the Broncos, or Rob Gronkowski to catch a TD pass, or Wes Welker to haul in 10 receptions. What you shouldn't hold out hope for is any impact from the crowd. Hasn't happened in years, so why should that suddenly change on Saturday?
Just an inoffensive bunch, the kind of crowd you can throw your 4-year-old son in the middle of without a second of pause. It's 68,756 folks simply thrilled to spend the first six or seven minutes of the third quarter buying shirts and stuffing pretzels in their faces. Guess they think Brady, Belichick, Welker, Gronkowski and Hernandez will be here forever. Well, what's past is prologue. Be careful.
When was the last time you watched a Patriots game and saw the opposing quarterback forced to call a timeout because the crowd noise was overwhelming? It never happens. We see crowds in Denver and Pittsburgh and Green Bay and Kansas City and Houston (indoors, to be fair) influence the game. And we know the Patriots have terrific fans -- TV ratings are insane, merchandise is at an all-time high, all that stuff -- but the Gillette crew shows up, sits down, claps a little, texts a lot, checks fantasy scores, looks at the JumboTron, claps a little more, goes to get some food, sits back down, claps a little more and the leaves with 6:30 left in the third quarter to beat the Route 1 traffic.
Were the fans the reason the Patriots lost the last two home playoff games? Nope, that's on the players and coaches, of course. We know that. But should the fans get any credit for Tom Brady's career record of 70-13 at Gillette Stadium? Nope, he's 55-25 on the road, best road winning percentage in history.
The home-field advantage is Brady and Belichick, and that's it.
As to exactly why most successful franchise of the salary cap era plays in front of something just above silence and well below chaos, there are plenty of theories. Let's take a look at four.
Sorry, doesn't fly. OK, Foxboro isn't South Beach, but take a look at the temperatures at kickoff for all eight home games this season:
San Diego, Sept. 18: 51 degrees
Jets, Oct. 9: 82 degrees
Cowboys, Oct. 16: 63 degrees
Giants, Nov. 6: 54 degrees
Kansas City, (Monday night) Nov. 21: 31 degrees
Indianapolis, Dec. 4: 51 degrees
Miami, Dec. 24: 30 degrees
Buffalo, Jan. 1: 51 degrees
Not too shabby. I've been to all eight games -- in the press box, yes, but walked around the stadium before and after and had the windows open during the game -- and it was never close to uncomfortable. This isn't minus-11 against the Titans in 2004 (and I was in the stands at that game, and guess what? It was loud). From a weather perspective, this is as good as season as you'll get. There was winter on Halloween weekend (Pats were in Pittsburgh), and until Thursday morning that's been about it. So the idea that fans are bundled up, and gloves can't make much noise, and ski masks and all that stuff does not work. And again, it was plenty noisy during the Snow Bowl at the old place, the crowd was absolutely a factor in playoff wins in 2003 and 2004 and there are other bad-weather cities (Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Denver, KC) where the fans can serve as a disruption for the opposition.
Strike two. If you were at Gillette for the season (and stadium) opener in 2002 -- a win over the Steelers, the night the first Super Bowl banner was raised -- you know the design of the place has nothing to do with it. The building was as close to jumping as it'll ever get. No one walked out of that stadium after that game thinking that the home-field advantage had suffered at all by replacing Foxboro Stadium with Gillette Stadium.
Could be something to this. The "real" fans vs. the business crowd. Listen, I don't begrudge Bob Kraft for charging hundreds of dollars per ticket, I really don't -- free market and all that -- but when you do that you are going to get the kind of crowd that often includes people who wouldn't mind if you'd please sit down so they could enjoy the game. And that's the vibe at least in the lower sections, the red seat crowd I referenced earlier. No real concern with the game itself. As long as the Woodhead shirt is tucked properly into the khakis and no one spills any beer on them, the day is generally a success. You want a crazed atmosphere? Knock down ticket prices and remove all suites. Won't happen, and that makes perfect business sense. But a Patriots game -- at least in those lower sections -- now is largely a corporate event.
I think we're getting closer. Three Super Bowls. Four AFC titles. Nine AFC East championships. One of the two or three (at worst) top quarterbacks in NFL history. One of the two or three greatest coaches in NFL history. And it sure doesn't seem to be slowing down -- the Patriots have 27 wins over the last two years, most in the NFL. It's easy to be spoiled, right? And some folks are spoiled. Maybe it's hard to take a November game against the Chiefs seriously when one eye is always focused on the postseason. Is all sense of urgency gone? Could be -- the chase for that first title (at least the first for a generation of fans) is just different. The crowds at TD Garden for the Bruins last year or the Celtics in 2008 were tremendous, particularly during the postseason. Maybe the combination of two straight home playoff losses plus seven years without a Super Bowl plus the Tebow Factor will inspire something from the Portly and Pleased crowd. We shall see.

Police in NC merge data on criminals with new system
Law enforcement agencies are using a computer system to access the criminal record of any offender in the state
By PoliceOne Staff
GREENVILLE, N.C. — Police in North Carolina unveiled a computer system that will allow agencies across the state to access criminal records from the same database.
Criminal Justice Law Enforcement Automated Data Services, or CJLEADS, merges four main law enforcement databases and 41 million files, according to WNCT. Police can go online to access the data, which includes information about outstanding warrants, arrest history, and gang activity.
Additionally, CJLEADS can also locate offenders monitored with ankle bracelets, issuing an "offender alert" when the legal status of a criminal changes. It warns a police officer who is approaching a dangerous person, telling them to take caution.
Michelle Amerson, senior crime analyst with the New Bern Police Department, said the program is long overdue.
"Normally, we're having to go to all the different sites, so this cuts it all down," Amerson said. "It's going to be great."

Chasing 82: Bylsma won't rest Crosby down stretch
Apr 1, 2014, 12:13 PM EDT
For everything Sidney Crosby's accomplished during his eight-year career, playing all 82 games in a single season has eluded him.
But this year, he's got a shot to do it — and his head coach seems keen on getting him there. From the L.A. Times:
Dan Bylsma has no intention of resting Crosby before the playoffs.
"I think Sid remembers too well not playing all the games in a season and, I think, cherishes playing every game," Bylsma said. "Whether it's 82 or 78, he's been there for us all year long.
"I got a plaque for playing all 82 games one time. I used it in the winter to make sure my tires didn't slide in the driveway."
Crosby's twice gotten to the 81 games plateau. The first time came during his rookie campaign and the second occurred in the 2009-10 season, when he won his first and only Maurice Richard trophy as the league's top goalscorer, with 51 tallies.
Since then, health has been an issue. To say the least.
Concussion problems and a broken jaw have seen him miss 113 games over the last three seasons, which makes this year so special — Crosby's shouldering a full load, averaging over 22 minutes per game, while being one of just five Penguins to play in all 75 games.
Not that he's about to start patting himself on the back.
"You just play," Crosby told the Times. "I've always tried to take care of myself and you train in the off-season to be strong and hopefully play a full season and sometimes it doesn't work out that way. In my case it's happened a lot that it hasn't.
"You just try to play the same way every night and play hard and trust that will get you through it."

Cat Watching
Cats, Coyotes and Coons!My cat Spike had become uncommonly skittish when he was in his bed in the garage. He has two beds, one in the house and one in the garage. Even if I was outside with him he would nervously keep watch on his surroundings as if expecting something to jump from behind a tree and grab him. If he wanted to go into the garage from the house, he would nervously watch the garage door for any movement from the night. He even had me opening the door and looking outside to see if anything was going on. Spike seemed to be watching for any sign of the raccoons that had camped out in our garage during the summer. When we had chased off all the raccoons except one, we breathed easier, but then Spike almost lost his leg due to a scuffle with the largest raccoon. Spike had gotten between the raccoon and some leftover food in the cat's dish, leaving the cat with a badly mangled left rear foot.
About the same time, the neighbor's two large dogs that were kept in a pen in their back yard began to go nuts each night about two in the morning. They would howl, bark, and lunge at the fence! You could hear the dog's bodies hitting the chain link fence all the way too my house, two doors away! At this point we still didn't know what was causing the commotion each night.
A few weeks went by and now Spike was spending most of his night time in the house, while the dogs continued to bark each evening after dark. Only after we spotted the coyote crossing the road to trot in our direction did we know what was causing the disturbance. That's when we named the Coyote, Ruckus!

Keeping Your Geriatric Cat HealthyCats, like their human counterparts, are prone to the aches, pains, and health issues that seem to come hand in hand with advancing age. Unfortunately, as the average lifespan of our cats increases so does the chance that owners will see age-related issues arise in their senior cats.
As your cat begins to age your veterinarian will likely start to recommend doing some tests to make sure your cat's internal organs are functioning as they should. Cats have evolved to hide signs that they are feeling under the weather and these tests can let your veterinarian know that something is wrong with your cat long before your cat displays outward signs of illness.
"I recommend that owners have yearly blood work done on their pets if the animal is healthy, and increase that frequency if any clinical signs present themselves or if abnormalities are seen in the blood work," says Dr. Julie Byron, a small animal internist at the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Urbana.
According to Dr. Byron, geriatric cat owners should also increase their awareness of how their cat is acting and feeling. It is important to be able to recognize what is normal for your cat so that when there is a change you can recognize it. She explains that a trip to the veterinarian is warranted if your cat is displaying any of the following signs or symptoms:

Feline Anxiety Causes Cat Litter Box Problems
Cats experience anxiety and get stressed out just like us human staffers. Unlike people, cats don't have a lot of creative ways to express their feelings. Unfortunately, when cats suffer from stress and anxiety, they generally communicate it in a very clear way that can really turn humans upside down. They usually tell us by not using the cat litter box.
- Moving to a new home
- Gaining a new household member, animal or human
- You change jobs and start a new schedule
- You bring new furniture into your home
- Kitty's favorite person moves out, and she misses that individual
- Construction and/or remodeling of your home
- Relocation of her cat litter box(es)
- Change in type of cat litter
Consult with your vet on the best course of action to help your kitty quickly get over her stress and anxiety. Reassure your cat with lots of extra attention and love, and this too shall pass!

An Introduction to Cat Pink EyeCat pink eye, also known as cat conjunctivitis, can be a chronic problem. This disease requires treatment to prevent further damage to the cat's eye. It's necessary to know the symptoms of cat conjunctivitis, so that it's treated before the infection advances and poses a risk to other cats.
What is Conjunctivitis?
A cat's eye contains the conjunctiva, a mucus membrane that surrounds the eyeball. Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, which leads to swelling and redness in the eye.
How Do Cats Contract Conjunctivitis?
Foreign objects that may enter the cat's eye could cause irritation and lead to conjunctivitis. However, the most common cause of cat pink eye is a viral infection such as Feline Herpes Virus (FIV). Bacteria like chlamydophilia can also cause it. The infection may occur in either one eye or both. Although other factors such as fungal infections trigger conjunctivitis in cats, the occurrence is rare.
Feline pink eye may also be attributed to congenital defects. Persian cats are born with a turned in eyelid, so their eyelashes constantly come in contact with the eyeball, causing conjunctivitis. Cats that suffer from conjunctivitis due to environmental factors will have a sudden onset of pink eye, followed by speedy recovery.
Cat pink eye that occurs due to infections is more chronic in nature. Feline herpes virus-1 can lay dormant for a long period and become active when the immune system is low. Cats with conjunctivitis often show symptoms of respiratory illness. This occurs when the cat develops conjunctivitis due to low immune system functioning and an active herpes virus-1 infection.

Your Guide to Home Remedies For Cat Urinary Tract InfectionsHome remedies for cat urinary tract infections are very effective at treating and preventing this common medical problem. In this article, you'll learn more about home remedies, the best ingredients and why they are much more effective than drugs.
First, let's talk about antibiotics. It's unfortunate, but most of us have been sold a bill of goods by the drug companies. Look at all the advertising they do. No wonder they've managed to program us. There are three things you need to know about the use of antibiotics in treating cat urinary tract infections:
Antibiotics suppress symptoms, but do not heal the conditions that caused them. Antibiotics have side effects which can make your cat's condition worse. Plus, we all know how sensitive cats are.
Since antibiotics do not heal cat urinary tract infections, this can lead to recurring problems.
Natural Treatment for Cat Urinary Tract Infections
Contrast the points above with the points below (note: we are talking about using a homeopathic remedy that is specifically formulated to treat cat urinary problems):

The Cat With Kidney ProblemsDoes your cat have a kidney problem? Then you are not only going to need to learn more cat information in general so that you can comprehend the animal better but as well you are going to need to produce a proper feline kidney diet.
Changing to a feline kidney diet will help in a number of ways; it is going to make certain that your cat is receiving all the nutrition they require to strive. A feline kidney diet needs to include special vitamins and minerals than you do not generally get in a regular feline diet because there are kidney problems.
Where to begin
To understand what is going to help your cat and what dietary changes it will require you need to understand the cat. Cats are naturally carnivores, and the greatest way to formulate a feline kidney diet plan is to make sure to comprise foods that the cats would eat out in the wild, as this is where they initially come from.
The next step is where it gets tough. You are going to need to understand how to read a pet food ingredient label, so you can make sure that you are selecting the correct food for your cat. The current labeling system for pet foods is gravely deficient in functional information and looking at the list of ingredients will tend to give an imperfect picture of what is in fact in the food in terms of the quantity of each ingredient.
Even though you may have heard different, the majority if not all of the so-called prescription diets that are sold in veterinary hospitals are not formulated for most favorable health of a carnivore. A lot of of these products include corn, wheat and soy which really have no logical place in a cat's diet even though most people incorrectly think this because this is believed by so many people.
Diet is the brick and mortar of health, and so if you want your cat to live a long healthy life, you are going to need to make sure that they are eating all the right foods. Not only do you need to provide them with a proper feline kidney diet but as well make sure that they are drinking enough water and getting enough exercise.
You will want to do as a great deal investigation of your own, so that you can find out more about cats in general and as well about your cat in particular, what their health problems are and what you can do to obtain care of them and get them to a most favorable condition of health.

Got Cat Urine Smell Blues?It's a couple of hours before my big party and I'm almost ready to go out. I took the cats to the neighborhood vet for a weekend stay. I cleaned the house from top to bottom and everything looks great. As I leave to go and pick up some last minute items for the party, I went back into the house only to be greeted with the awful smell of cat urine when I entered the door.
Surely, the cat smell should be gone. The rugs were shampooed. The party starts in 4 hours and my house smells like industrial cleaner, air freshener and cat pee.
It is very embarrassing when you have company over, your house is clean and your guests get a whiff of cat urine. Not good at all.
For those of you who have problems getting rid of cat urine odor, this one's for you. Here are some home remedies to help you kick the odor.
Cats are clean animals which have peculiar ways. The best way to control the place where a cat urinates is by always keeping their litter box clean. A cat will not urinate in its litter box if it can smell the odor of urine. Instead, it will find some other place to urinate like the carpet or that favorite rug which is so cozy.
A cat will urinate in the same spot until it can smell the unpleasant aroma of urine and then will seek another area.
One economical recipe for curing cat urine odor and stains from the carpet is to use common household elements such as vinegar, water, peroxide and baking soda. The way this works is you will first try to get up the excess urine from the carpet. Dilute vinegar with 3 parts water and soak on soiled area. Once you've soaked the area you can pour peroxide on the area and sprinkle with baking soda. Vacuum the excess.
This is a cheap economical way to remove cat urine odor from rugs and similar areas in your home.
Once I tried this home remedy, I realized that if I would just do this once or twice a week, my house would keep a fresh smell. The one key to keeping an odorless home, is to make sure that I am keeping the litter box as clean as possible so that the cats will feel comfortable peeing in their preferable place

Exotic - the Facts Every Owner of This Cat Breed Should KnowIn the 1960s a Persian was crossed with a Domestic Shorthair in an attempt to create a Persian with only short hair. The result was today's Exotic, a breed that looks strikingly similar to the Persian, but with less maintenance involved, hence the nickname, 'the lazy man's Persian.' There are long- and shorthaired varieties of Exotic. The coat of a Longhaired is very similar to a Persian. It is very thick and dense, and requires daily grooming, along with regular bathing. The Shorthaired Exotic coat is, well, short. However, that does not mean it does not require some maintenance from the owner.
Though Shorthaired Exotics tend to be able to keep themselves clean via regular grooming, the occasional brushing is recommended to lower the occurrence of fur balls. Both Long- and Shorthaired Exotics are seen in a wide array of colors and both will shed, though not nearly as much as a Persian. Both tend to be of an average size and weight and tend to live around twelve years, though they are not considered mature until approximately two years of age and enter puberty later than other breeds.
Exotics, though loving towards their human families, tend to be aloof. They do not demand much attention or interaction, but, from time to time, will want to enjoy their company.

Newest ArticlesBehavior Issues: Cat Behavior Training
Is your cat's bad behavior driving you up the wall? Many people are under the impression that cats are too independent to be trained. This is not true. Any animal can be trained. You just need to condition its reactions in a consistent and predictable manner. Animal behaviorists call this Pavlovian Conditioning. Although the most famous of the experiments revolved around dogs, subsequent scientists have successfully shown this effect even in human children. In reality, a cat's behavior and resultant societal relations with other cats are dependent on factors such as population density of neighborhood cats, premature knowledge and the amount of food available in the vicinity.

The 5 Critical Steps You Must Perform As Your Cat Ages
In another article, certain aspects of, as well as conditions associated with, the feline aging process were covered at great length. One of the premises of feline longevity is that the housecat that is well cared for has a greater tendency at living longer than cats that spend time outdoors. Essential factors that promote longevity and allow your cat to enter their "golden years" in the best shape possible are:
Cat Food:
Many different cat breeders recommend a large variety of differing foods, some of which are mainstream brands such as whiskas whilst others are only available from vets or on the internet.
Dental Disease in Dogs and Cats:
periodontal disease (problems in the area around the teeth) is one of the most common health problems in companion animals. It is estimated that 80 per cent of dogs and 70 per cent of cats older than 3 years of age suffer from some level of periodontal disease
Does the world need more cats?:
Aren't they cute? Yes, they are! A nest of meowing and crawling little kittens leaves only the fiercest cat hater indifferent. But does the world need more cats? A cat is the second most popular pet in the world
Training Your Cat Not to Scratch Furniture
Cats have a natural instinct that will lead them to climb and scratch. If you are not providing the proper tools for the cat to use, they will use what they can find to scratch.

Some shoppers say they're worried about the ducks especially considering the all of the cars moving through the busy lot.
Officials with the Animal Rescue League are asking drivers in the lot to be careful.
They say the ducks should not be moved and could hang out there for a few days.
