Is it called "Organ Monk" because the guy at the Hammond C3 is wearing a monk's habit? Or because they presented a program of all Thelonius Monk tunes? It's a little of both. "The Organ Monk plays anything" says Greg Lewis aka the Organ Monk, and I can hear the sly grin right through the telephone. But seriously, who would have thought these classics would take to the sound of the C3 so gracefully? And it's a gas to look at, too, I mean the last time I saw a Hammond with a Leslie it was back in the 70's and some roadie at a rock show was griping about having to load and unload the thing for every gig. (BTW under that monk's habit Mr. Lewis has a physique that hefts the instrument like it was made of Leggos.) Now, I'm no jazz expert, but this was some serious fun with serious music.
Of course, I had to ask Howard Mandel, the pres of the Jazz Journalists Association how he came to choose this particular act to close the JJA Awards ceremony at the Blue Note. So here's the low-down: "I discovered Organ Monk in 2011 at a gig at 55 Bar, and I was astonished they aren't better known in NYC, since organs are making a comeback in popularity, the compositions of Thelonious Monk have become important standards, and Greg has a unique approach both to the material and to his instrument. The interplay between Greg's organ and Ron Jackson on guitar is fantastic -- Monk is seldom played on guitar, and the breadth of his ouevre has not been previously tapped by an organist, either. Jeremy Clemons offers really intelligent drumming to the band -- he knows those songs, he's not simply keeping time -- and Reginald Woods also has the tough tenor sound that stands up to strong organ and guitar interactions, besides insight into how to improvise on Monk's melodies, which seem simple but require genuine understanding -- he has it."
If you want to know more about the band and the Monk's raison d'etre, there's a website: greglewismusic.com with a complete list of upcoming gigs and tons of info.

End of Life Care: What SHOULD you expect from Hospice Care?
It's difficult to understand a subject when most people don't want to discuss it. Hospice sadly often falls into this category. As the topic is broached, thoughts of death quickly arise and conversations begin trailing off. Yet, the reality is that while hospice does mean taking the focus off of prolonging someone's life, it does […] [Read More]

No, when the earth's average temperature rises several degrees (which it has), that's climate change. When there are more frequent and more violent weather events (which there are), that's climate change. When idiots look out their window and come to conclusions about the climate, that's climate change denial.
Before the climate change deniers start posting, as they always do, heavier snowfall (and more extreme weather in general) is a predicted symptom of climate change, not some sign that the earth is actually getting colder. It doesn't need to be colder to get more snow, it just needs to be cold enough.
Thanks for the advice. I asked her and she said she doesn't invest in mutual funds that own stock in polluting energy companies.
How oblivious is she? She actually thought that she paid her entire health insurance premium? How can she oppose healthcare reform and not even know how her own-government funded insurance works? This is criminal.
I am actually okay with NOT having mandated health insurance as long as anyone who chooses not to have insurance is refused ALL medical care unless they pay for their care in cash prior to receiving the care. This is the crux of it. Right now, anyone can walk into the ER and get care whether or not they have the means to pay for it. Who picks up the tab for these people? We do -- the people who actually have insurance. So by requiring everyone to have insurance, its more equitably sharing the cost. So, I'm fine with either approach: 1) Universal healthcare OR 2) Absolutely no medical care for those without insurance. Those are the choices.
Sorry, but you have the cause and effect reversed. The reason some states have tougher gun control laws is because those states were responding to more gun violence within the state. They tend to be more urbanized places and the crime and violence was already there, before the gun restrictions were in place. Places like Nebraska or Vermont have less crime because of the TYPE of places they are, not because they are easier places to obtain a gun. Nice try, but you should learn that NRA-provided stats always have loopholes.
99% of reputable scientists who do work in this area agree that climate change is happening and its due to man-made causes. As with anything, there is a very small minority who disagree and of course they get disproportionate amount of attention. If you think Al Gore is cashing in on climate change, the three contrarian "scientists" who disagree are making serious money because they are the darlings of the "head in the sand" crowd.
Its actually called climate change, not global warming. Although overall warming of the planet is indeed occurring, its just one of the impacts, along with extreme temperature fluctuations, flooding, and more violent storms. A string of very cold days in winter indicates just as much (or little) as a few extremely hot days in summer. The overall trends are clear that the earth's temperature is increasing and the climate is changing and its absolutely connected to man-made greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Whether we actually want to do anything about it is up to us as a society.
That too.
Guns, guns, guns. Too many guns.
Good thing the culprit didn't have a gun or he certainly would have caused more harm.
Incorrect. The t-shirts were handed out by the University of Arizona, which hosted the event, and "Together we Thrive" was the title of the event given by the University. There were not secret political operatives or back room strategy, sorry. God forbid a community try to rally itself around an event or an issue, but of course it all has to be blamed on politics. Did you listen to the President's speech. Did you heed his advice? Apparently not.
Speak for yourself. He inspired me.
I think the point is that Palin and others like her help to perpetuate a culture of violence to solve issues. Whether or not Loughner was personally inspired by Palin is not relevant. Its like a virus. Just because you don't know the first person who contracted a new strain of the flu doesn't mean that you won't come into contact with the disease. It becomes pervasive and everywhere and impossible to avoid.
What the president was trying to do so eloquently tonight was innoculate us against this virus. For some it won't work, but for others, maybe it will make a difference. It was worth a try and it certainly inspired this cynical citizen.
As much as you would like to think it was a joke, it was not and I was inspired by our President tonight. I am sorry that apparently you were not.
The President made an absolutely wonderful speech this evening. At once somber and uplifiting. Amazing. I am inspired to be a better person and live my life to the ideals of our children as the President has suggested.
Actually, Kennedy and MLK were both shot with rifles. My point is that we can dramatically reduce the opportunity for something like Tucson to occur by reducing access to weapons that have no practical purpose. Loughner was no Lee Harvey Oswald. He wasn't trained to shoot from hundreds of yards away and he would have failed had he tried.
I agree that if someone has a will to do evil, they are still going to do it. But if Loughner had attempted his act with a manual shotgun, far fewer people would have been hurt. There is a reason that places like England have much lower homicide rates than the US. Do you think that there a just fewer crazy people? No way. Just much curtailed access to weapons.
Not allowing people to have sem-automatic handguns and assault rifles is quite different than disarming the country. I have no issue with people owning appropriate weapons for hunting and self defense, but Glocks and M-16s are not necessary. Simply not necessary.
And yes, the constitution, as originally drafted, tacitly accepted slavery. That's why there had to be a 13th Amendment to abolish it. If Slavery was not permitted under the constitution, then no amendment would have been required. Its time we look at guns in the same way. Times change and its time to look at the need to have access to every time of weapon under the sun.
I completely disagree. A semi-automatic pistol, which can be concealed up until the last moment before firing and then can get off multiple rounds without reloading, is ALWAYS going to be more dangerous than any other weapon. Perhaps if he had a knife he would have been able to hurt one individual. A rifle people would have seen coming and at least there was a chance to take action.
There is no reasonable civilian use for a Glock semi-automatic handgun. None. Its time that these types of guns be banned completely.
But if he didn't have access to a gun, we wouldn't be talking about it. There are too many guns and they are too easy to obtain.

Dispensing closure comprising a cap including an upper surface and a depending skirt adapted to be secured to a dispenser, a spout with an enlarged base and an elongated body, and mounting members, such as trunnions and a cavity defined within the upper surface of the cap, to secure the spout in the cavity for pivotal movement. A lug is formed on the spout, and a stop is defined within the cavity; the lug and stop cooperate to positively limit the travel of the spout toward a vertical orientation. A scoop, or enlarged opening, at the inlet end of the spout enables the contents of the container to be discharged through the spout, even when the base of the spout partially eclipses the opening the cap that communicates with the interior of the dispenser.
1. A dispensing closure comprising;
a) a cap including an upper surface and a depending skirt adapted to be secured to a dispenser,
b) said upper surface including walls defining a cavity therein, and a bore defined through said cap to establish communication between the interior of the dispenser and said cavity,
c) a spout with an enlarged base and an elongated body,
d) a passage extending through said spout and terminating at the free end of said body,
e) mounting means defined between said cylindrical base of said spout and said walls defining said cavity to permit said spout to be received within said cavity for pivotal movement therein,
f) stop means defined on said spout and within said cavity to positively limit the travel of said spout toward to a vertical orientation,
g) said stop means limiting the pivotal movement of said spout to a position wherein the enlarged base of said spout eclipses a portion of said bore to reduce communication between said bore and said passage in said spout,
h) the invention being characterized by an enlarged scoop formed at the inlet end of said spout, said scoop compensating for the eclipsing of a portion of said bore by said enlarged base of said spout.
2. A dispensing closure as defined in claim 1 wherein said stop means comprises a lug formed on said spout and a stop situated within said cavity, and the invention is further characterized by said stop means being located in the path of rotation for said lug at a position below the upper surface of said cap.
This invention pertains generally to dispensing closures with pivotably mounted spouts, and more particularly to cooperating lugs and stops that positively limit the movement of the spout relative to the cap.
One known type of dispensing closure that has gained consumer acceptance for dispensing a variety of products is the spouted dispensing closure. Such dispensing closures, which are executed in plastic, in high volume and at relatively low cost, comprise, primarily, (1) a cap that is adapted to be secured to the neck of a container, and (2) a spout that is mounted in a cavity on the upper surface of the cap. The spout comprises an enlarged, usually cylindrical base, and a central passage extends throughout the spout. An opening is formed in the cap to allow communication with the interior of the container. Trunnions extend laterally from opposite sides of the base, and are received in sockets defined in the walls of the cavity on the cap. The trunnions and sockets enable the spout to be pivoted through a 90° arc relative to the cap. The spout is usually retained in its horizontal, closed position, wherein the cylindrical base seals the opening in the cap; however, when the user wishes to discharge the contents of the container, the spout is pivoted 90° to its vertical position, which places the central passage in the spout in alignment with the opening in the cap.
A representative dispensing closure, employing a pivotably mounted spout, is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,111,245, granted Nov. 19, 1963, to Sidney Libit and Arthur Newby. Such patent discloses a closure comprising, principally, a base (10) that is screwed into the neck of a bottle (20), and a spout (11) that is moved, or pivoted, relative thereto. The spout is received in a cavity (25) defined on the upper surface of the cap, and the cylindrical knuckle, or base, of the spout is retained therein. A bore (57) extends through the spout, as shown in FIG. 4, and a bore (60) is formed through the cap to establish communication with the interior of the knuckle, or base, as shown in FIG. 6. Movement of the spout to its "on" or discharge position is limited by the engagement of pad (31) with an indentation in the spout 11, as shown in FIG. 3. When the spout is in its vertical position, the bores (57, 60) are aligned, and the product retained in the container can be discharged. When the spout is pivoted downwardly, the bores are misaligned and discharge is not possible, for the base of the spout blocks the bore (60) in the cap.
Other representative dispensing closures employing a pivotably mounted spout are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,209,114, U.S. Pat. No. 4,219,138, and in U.S. Pat. No. 4,756,451. These three patents, and the present application, are assigned to Polytop Corporation.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,756,451 employs a rib (54), or lug, located on the exposed surface of the cylindrical base of the spout, to facilitate opening same. The rib is uniquely configured so that sufficient purchase is available to allow the spout to be rotated to its vertically oriented, discharge position, wherein the bore (46) of the spout is aligned with the opening (34) in the bottom wall of the cavity that receives the base of the spout. The path of travel of the spout is shown in FIG. 3 of the Wilson '451 patent. Additional ribs on the spout, and on the upper surface of the cap, impart a child resistant safety characteristic to the spouted closure, as well.
Known dispensing closures, employing pivotably mounted spouts, including those cited and discussed above, invariably require that the spout be pivoted into a vertical position before discharge can occur. Only in the vertical position is the central passage in the spout fully aligned with the opening in the cap that communicates with the interior of the container for the product to be dispensed.
The known dispensing closures employing pivotably mounted spouts are ill-designed to meet the challenge of discharging a product at an angle of less than 90° to the horizontal. The angular discharge would be advantageous in discharging a cleanser under the rim of a toilet bowl, in discharging oven cleansers, in discharging lubricants, waxes, polishes, etc and in other applications where the product being discharged would tend to fall, or drip, back onto the user.
In accordance with the present invention, cooperating surfaces are defined between the spout and the cap of a dispensing closure to retain the spout in an opened position that is inclined at far less than 90° to the horizontal plane of the closure. In the preferred embodiment, the cooperating surfaces assume the form of a lug defined on the spout and a stop defined in the cylindrical cavity of the cap that receives the spout. The lug and the stop may limit the pivotal movement of the spout to 45°, or less, above the horizontal plane, and in extreme cases, may limit such movement to 15°-20° above the horizontal plane.
Additionally, the lug and the stop may be complementary in shape, and may thus provide a positive stop for the spout. The positive stop is a tactile signal that the spout is fully opened, even though it is tilted only 15°-20° above the horizontal plane of the cap. The cap may be executed in a slightly softer, more resilient material, that yields to allow the lug to be seated in the stop, or recess, in the cap, with an audible, clicking sound.
In the open position of the present invention, the cylindrical base of the spout partially eclipses, blocks, or overlays, the bore through the cap that opens into the cavity that receives the spout. An enlarged scoop is formed at the inlet end of the spout, and such scoop provides greater access to the bore in the spout. The scoop compensates for the partial eclipsing of the bore in the cap, back pressure is reduced, and the product may be discharged freely even though the bores are not in complete alignment.
Other advantages attributable to the present invention will become apparent to the skilled artisan when the appended drawings are construed in harmony with the ensuing detailed description of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a conventional container with a preferred embodiment of a dispensing closure constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention being secured thereto, such dispensing closure being shown in its opened position;
FIG. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the dispensing closure of FIG. 1, on a larger scale, such dispensing closure being shown in its closed position;
FIG. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the dispensing closure of FIG. 1, on a larger scale, such dispensing closure being shown in its opened position;
FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the dispensing closure of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary, vertical cross-sectional view of the spout and the cap of the dispensing closure of FIGS. 1-4, such view showing the cooperating lug and stop that positively retain the spout in an opened position; and
FIG. 6 is an end view of a fragment of the spout, such view showing the scoop formed at the inlet end of the spout.
FIG. 1 depicts a plastic container 10 that receives a dispensing closure 12, in threaded engagement, upon its neck. The container may be formed of plastic, and may be squeezed by the user to facilitate discharge through dispensing closure 12.
As shown in FIGS. 2-4, dispensing closure 12 comprises cap 14 with spout 16 secured thereto by trunnions 18, 20 projecting laterally from opposite sides of enlarged, cylindrical base 22.
Cap 14 comprises an upper surface 24 with a cavity to receive spout 12, and a depending skirt 26. Internal threads 28 are defined within the skirt, and threads 28 are advanced onto complementary threads on the neck of the container to which the cap is affixed.
Sockets 32, 34 in the cap receive trunnions 18, 20 when the spout is snapped, or forced, into engagement with the cap. The trunnions and sockets cooperate to enable the spout to be pivoted between its closed position in cavity 36 in cap 14, and its opened position, shown in FIG. 3. Trunnions 18, 20 and sockets 32, 34 are shown in FIG. 4.
Spout 16 includes an enlarged cylindrical base 22 and a central passage 38; the passage extends clear-through the spout. Passage 38 communicates with central opening, or bore, 39 in cap 14 when spout 16 is pivoted to its opened position. Such pivotal movement is achieved by lifting up on the projecting lip 40, and the contents of container 10 may be discharged through the discharge port 42 of central passage 38 in spout 16. Projecting lip 40 cooperates with the annular wall on cap 14 to define the closed position for spout 16. The lip is engaged by the user to pivot the spout to its opened portion.
Lug 44 is semi-circular when viewed in vertical cross-section, and extends upwardly above the exposed surface of the base of spout 16. When spout 16 is pivoted into its opened position shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, lug 44 fits within stop 45 formed in the wall of cap 14 adjacent to the base of the spout, but below lip 48. Lug 44, and stop 45, define the opened position for spout 16 and limit its pivotal movement to 20°-45°, above a horizontal plane passing through cap 14. The angular orientation of spout 16 renders the dispensing closure of FIGS. 1-4 ideally suited for discharging toilet bowl cleanser, oven cleaner, and other preparations that are discharged with the dispenser advantageously held below the surface to be treated.
Recess 45 is generally semi-circular in shape, and is slightly larger than lug 44. Cap 14 is usually formed of a plastic that is somewhat softer than the plastic from which the spout is molded; the cap may be executed in polyethylene and the spout may be executed in polypropylene. Thus, lug 44 snaps into recess 45 and produces an audible, clicking sound. Also, when lug 44 is seated properly in recess 45, the spout is positively locked in its opened position, and the user can tactiley sense such position.
FIG. 5 reveals that bore 38 in spout 16 is not fully aligned with bore 39 in cap 14 when the spout is in its opened position. Enlarged base 22 of the spout 16 partially overlaps bore 39, and eclipses same. An enlarged entrance to the inlet end of passage 38 was developed to compensate for the eclipsing interaction. Such entrance is shaped like a scoop, and is identified by reference numeral 50 in FIGS. 5 and 6.
Scoop 50 functions as a funnel for directing product passing through bore 39 in cap 14 into the inlet end of passage 38 in spout 16. The scoop increases the cross-sectional area of passage 38 at its inlet end, and relieves back pressure, if any should be formed during passage of the product through the spout. After the spout has been pivoted to its closed position, excess product retained in passage 38 may drain slowly through bore 39 and pass downwardly into the interior of the container.
Scoop 50 is formed by placing a molding pin in the proper position during molding; the molding pin can be withdrawn from the mold easily, and the scoop is accurately formed.
While a preferred embodiment of the invention has been described in considerable detail, various modifications may occur to the skilled artisan. For example, the base of the spout, and the cavity in the cap receiving same, may be spherical in shape. Lug 44, and stop 45 may be shaped differently, and stop 45 may be located closer to the lip 48, or farther therefrom, to alter the opened position, and angular orientation of spout 16. Consequently, the appended claims should be construed in a liberal fashion, consistent with the spirit and scope of the invention, and should not be limited to their literal terms.

Posted: March 28, 2013|
ST AUSTELL'S huge community play – to be staged in July – has taken a further step forward.
Ollie Oakenshield, a well-known figure on the Cornish theatre scene, has been appointed as production manager for As Well Be Shot As Be Starved by Restormel Arts.
Ollie has worked with Miracle Theatre and Eden's Theatre team and in 2004 founded Rogue Theatre, a company that has grown in stature and popularity under his vast experience.
He has close ties with Port Eliot Festival and has also worked on other community projects, including last year's Town To Tide.
Ollie said: "'I am delighted to be working as part of an exciting team on this rich Cornish cultural project."
Another exciting addition is Alan Munden, collaborator on set design and build.
Alan has worked on innovative design for a raft of companies and projects, including English Touring Opera, Duchy Opera, Miracle Theatre, Cube Theatre, Eden Project and large scale community events.
He added: "I'm really pleased to be involved with the project. Towns and communities discovering their past and retelling those stories is always an exciting prospect as is meeting new cast and crew. Bring it on!"
If that wasn't enough, Ben Sutcliffe of Cornwall's popular People's String Foundation, has been announced as the show's musical director.
As Well Be Shot As Be Starved, based on the true events of the Bread Riots of 1847, will be performed in the cellars of St Austell Brewery.
It has been written by Miracle Theatre founder Bill Scott and will be the highlight of the town's Feast Week from Friday, July 5 to Saturday, July 13.
The play, peppered with Bill's unique mix of drama and comedy, is directed by Liam Hurley, who has been behind community plays across the country, with assistant director Sharon Andrew, of Cornwall's Scary Little Girls.
On July 6 there will be a re-enactment of the riot, with a parade, marching bands and more converging on Market House, which was the town hall at the time of the events. The day will also see a theatrical Victorian market in the town.
The riots were effectively started by the women in the community whose husbands worked for the china clay industry and were so poor they couldn't even afford bread.
Annoyed that workers in similar industries, such as tin mining, were paid much more, together with the potato famine of the time, the enraged women encouraged their husbands to riot.
For more details see www.breadriots.com and to take part in any aspect of the play, contact production manager Sheila Vanloo – firstname.lastname@example.com

A Summerville man and a Goose Creek woman have been arrested for tax evasion.
SCDOR investigators have charged Gregory Neff of Summerville with three counts of tax evasion with a total of $11,371 of tax evaded, according to a SC DOR press release.
They also arrested Victoria Cooper-Hilliard of Goose Creek on six counts for a total of $12,419 of tax evaded, according to the release.
According to the release, investigators with the SCDOR arrested 18 people in an ongoing investigation targeting those who claim to be exempt from taxation with their employers and fail to file required state income tax returns.
Those arrested in the investigation filed W4 forms with their employers claiming to be exempt from taxation which caused little to no taxes to be withheld from their paychecks. Those same employees failed to file tax returns for multiple years.
This statewide investigation resulted in charges of tax evasion against 18 individuals from the low country, midlands and upstate. The 18 individuals collectively earned over $6 million during the period of investigation and have a collective state tax liability of nearly $285,000.

Report: Manufacturing surging for eco devo
Manufacturing can be a strong future economic development driver for rural counties in North Carolina.
That's according to a report issued by the North Carolina Rural Economic Development Center on Monday.
The report — which was a yearlong study of manufacturing in the state — indicated that manufacturing saw its first net increase of jobs in 16 years. The report also said that the state needs a manufacturing council to "capitalize" on the momentum of the job growth.
In Rutherford County, the Economic Development Commission (EDC) is in the midst of conducting a target market study to indicate potential sectors of which the county can use its current infrastructure and workforce to recruit.
EDC Executive Director Matt Blackwell said that manufacturing is part of the county's economic development future.
"We were a manufacturing community, historically and we will be one moving forward," Blackwell said. "However, we have to make some changes and we are going to have to have some training to secure these advanced manufacturing opportunities moving forward."
The average salary for workers in Rutherford County is just over $30,000. The report indicated that some of the emerging manufacturing sectors — such as aviation, breweries, household appliances, medical supplies and packaging foods — bring in an average salary of closer to $40,000 and above.
Blackwell said that, with higher skilled positions, there is a need for a more educated workforce. That is a priority of the county's target market study — to see if training is available and in what fields it can be available in.
"We have to continue to explore those kinds of trades for our workforce," Blackwell said. "These companies want the workforce already in place."
The report also indicated that some of the manufacturing fields that North Carolina and Rutherford County were strong in are on the decline. Fields such as furniture, textiles, plastics and logging were labeled as "at-risk."
The county has already made strides in some of the emerging fields such as food packaging with Valley Fine Foods locating their East Coast operations in Forest City. Hiring for that facility is expected to start this year. In addition, the county already has a Blue Ridge Distilling Company, a brewery located in Golden Valley. Blackwell said that the county can capitalize on other "emerging" fields with metalwork manufacturing to augment specific industries.
While overall manufacturing has suffered job losses over the last two decades, the report said it remains one of the top contributor to the state's gross domestic product and "84 percent of state exports."
Billy Ray Hall, president of the North Carolina Rural Economic Development Center, said that manufacturing can still be a vital economic development driver for rural counties in the state.
"But we can't sit back and wait for it to happen," Hall said. "The state's business and political leaders must work together to ensure that we have in place the programs and policies that will strengthen this important sector."
As for Rutherford County, the target market study is due out in the near future and should point the county in a direction to recruit specific industry.
"We want to look at who we have the best opportunity of recruiting," Blackwell said. "We have to refocus and retrain our workforce for the opportunities of the future."

IAB's Randall Rothenberg argues that the iPad could be bad for publishers because the proliferation of device-based walled gardens risks fragmenting audiences and "a company's opportunity to create, sell and use advertising effectively and profitably will depend on its ability to deliver it seamlessly across multiple devices."
"Without continuing, concerted, cross-industry commitment to managing transactional complexity in the marketing-media supply chain, the iPad and its ilk might only make publishers' problems worse," he says.
He offers two suggestions if ad-supported media are to survive:
- Device manufacturers and the proprietors of other walled gardens should work collaboratively to adopt consistent standards to allow the advertising and marketing economies to flourish.
- To the degree that the walled gardens create impediments to scale, publishers need to find other sources of revenue. Media companies must redouble their efforts to add marketing services to their sets of offerings.

A Message from President Olivarez
Aquinas College joins Catholics throughout the world in joyfully and prayerfully welcoming Pope Francis I as our new universal pastor. It is truly a historic moment in the church marking the first time a pope is from outside Europe in over 1,000 years. It is a wonderful time for all Catholics, and in particular for those of Latin American descent who make up a large portion of the world's Catholic population. True to the values of St. Francis of Assisi, we pray that Pope Francis may bring a culture of peace to the world.
- Juan R. Olivarez, Ph.D.,

Some Quad City animals are looking for a new home.
At one time, there were more than 40 cats under one roof at a home in Bettendorf.
28 cats from that home are now under the care of the Scott County Humane Society after being rescued Tuesday.
Ask Lynn Warren if she's a cat person and you'll get this response-
"Of course," said Warren. "I've had cats my whole life."
Holding out hope a year after her cat Elmo went missing, Warren looked for him Wednesday at shelter.
"As long a shot as it is, I couldn't give up that hope that he might still be around some place," she said.
These cats in cages are part of the group taken from the home on Fairlane Drive.
They were likely taken in by the person living there as strays, according to investigators.
"Clearly people's cats went missing."
For the next week, the shelter will allow people to come in and check out whether or not any of the cats happen to be theirs.
After that point, they'll all be eligible for adoption.
But, first, they must be deemed as eligible.
Battling everything from upper respiratory illness to fleas, the conditions of the cats vary, as Warren found out.
"The first two I saw, they actually impressed me because they seemed to be in pretty good health. But, the more I've looked, the worse they've looked."
While she didn't find Elmo, Warren says he's never far from her mind.
"I will think of him probably for years. He was a sweet cat."
No charges will likely be filed against the Homeowner, Sam Filgo, according to the Scott County Humane Society.
He has been evicted from his home, however.
Bettendorf Police say there's no ordinance that regulates how many animals can be inside a home at one time.

On the March 24 edition of MSNBC's Countdown, Keith Olbermann named New York Times columnist William Kristol the "runner-up" and Sen. John McCain and Fox News' Brit Hume the "winners" in his nightly "Worst Person in the World" segment.
Loading the player reg...
On Fox News Sunday, when Bill Kristol was asked whether "it's fair" to compare "[Sen. John] McCain's, quote, 'ministers,' " John Hagee and Rod Parsley, "to [Sen. Barack] Obama's pastor," Kristol replied: "No, because these are just individuals who've endorsed Senator McCain." However, McCain stated in a joint appearance with Hagee that he was "very proud to have Pastor Hagee's support" and reportedly called Parsley a "spiritual guide."
The Washington Post's George Will asserted that Sen. John McCain's admittedly false claim that Iran is training Al Qaeda is "[n]ot damaging at all" to McCain, "because people say it's a given that this man knows what he's talking about." Similarly, The Chicago Tribune's Jill Zuckman asserted that "I don't think many people believe" "the argument that McCain doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to foreign policy." But neither Will nor Zuckman noted that McCain has made that error more than once.
On Fox News Sunday, in discussing Sen. Barack Obama's statement that money being spent on the war in Iraq "is money that we could be spending here in the United States, rebuilding our infrastructure, building schools, sending kids to university," Karl Rove quoted a "Democrat" he said he had spoken to in Los Angeles as saying, "I'm worried about that, because does that mean he's going to be looking at our support, for example, for the state of Israel and looking at it in terms of what could we be doing at home with those dollars?" However, Obama has consistently supported aid to Israel.
On Fox News Sunday, Karl Rove asserted of Sen. Barack Obama facing questions about the Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan: "Now, having ties to Louis Farrakhan and his anti-Semitic comments, that's -- that's -- you know, people have a reason -- that's a reasonable question: Do you agree with him? Do you renounce him? Do you reject him?" In fact, Obama has denied that his campaign has "ties to" Farrakhan and has answered the questions posed by Rove, having repeatedly denounced Farrakhan's anti-Semitic statements.
Introducing an interview with Director of National Intelligence Michael McConnell, Chris Wallace asserted: "A law which gives President Bush powers to monitor communications among terrorism suspects expired at midnight." In fact, the expired PAA revisions to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, did not simply give Bush "powers to monitor communications among terrorism suspects," but rather, among other things, the revisions expanded the government's authority to eavesdrop on Americans' domestic-to-foreign communications without a warrant. Further, Wallace never mentioned that the government had the authority to listen in on the communications of suspected terrorists before Congress passed the PAA in August 2007 or that this authority continues despite the PAA's expiration.
During a Fox News Sunday interview with President Bush, Chris Wallace left unchallenged Bush's statement regarding Sen. Barack Obama: "I certainly don't know what he believes in. The only foreign policy thing I remember he said was he's going to attack Pakistan and embrace [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad." But Bush and his administration have made contradictory statements on the question of dealing with Al Qaeda leaders in Pakistan, the specific issue that Bush purported to know where Obama stands. Wallace also did not note Bush misrepresented Obama's statements regarding Pakistan and engaging in dialogue with Ahmadinejad.
While discussing the war in Iraq with Sen. Hillary Clinton on Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace echoed Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain by asking Clinton, "[W]hy are you so determined to declare defeat?" McCain has repeatedly referred to Clinton's and other Democrats' proposals on Iraq as "surrender."
On Fox News Sunday, Karl Rove stated, "I'm confident the Republican candidates are going to have enough money to make enough damage out of this record to make gains in the Congress." Host Chris Wallace did not note Rove's incorrect prediction that Republicans would retain control of Congress in the 2006 elections or Rove's incorrect predictions about the 2000 presidential election.
On Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume and Bill Kristol asserted that the recent announcement that scientists have reprogrammed adult stem cells to apparently behave like embryonic stem cells would end the debate over embryonic stem cell research. But none of the panelists mentioned that several scientists, including one of the lead researchers, have said that the reprogramming does not end the need for embryonic stem-cell research.
Echoing previous comments by conservative media figures suggesting that Democrats want the United States to lose the war in Iraq, Fox News' Brit Hume asserted: "The American people don't like the Iraq war, they probably never will. But they're not rooting for us to lose; they don't seem invested in our losing the way the Democrats so often do." Hume offered no evidence that any Democrats are "invested in our losing" or "rooting for us to lose" in Iraq.
Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace did not challenge Defense Secretary Robert Gates' assertion that troop drawdowns "between December [2007]and July [2008]" will be due to "successes" in Iraq. In fact, due to strain on the military, the troop reduction would have been necessary regardless of conditions on the ground.
On Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume asked Juan Williams, "Who are we fighting there [in Iraq] now, Juan?" then answered his own question: "Al Qaeda in Iraq. They were there before we got there, and they're there now." In fact, U.S. military and intelligence officials have reportedly stated that Al Qaeda in Iraq didn't exist before the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, didn't pledge its loyalty to Osama bin Laden until October 2004, and isn't controlled by bin Laden or his top aides. Further, the 9-11 Commission found "no evidence" that contacts between Saddam Hussein's Iraq and Al Qaeda "developed into a collaborative operational relationship" before the Iraq invasion.
Karl Rove asserted that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton "enters the general election campaign with the highest negatives of any candidate in the history of the Gallup Poll," and added: "The only person who comes close is ... hers are at 49. The only other candidate to come close was Al Gore with 34, I believe." In fact, Gallup's polling results show that President Bush's unfavorability ratings as he entered the 2004 general election campaign were consistently above what Rove claimed to be "close[st]" to Clinton's unfavorability rating -- "Al Gore with 34" percent.

By Kerene Ng 05 Apr 2014
I had been waiting a long time to get this book. When I read a blog post about the story, I saw that it said that the last book is titled Light. I thought maybe this would mean that the barrier would be gone. But of course, not. I shall not add any spoilers but Fear as the title of this book is very apt.
As usual, Michael Grant offered quite a bit of thought-provoking elements with leadership and its responsibilities, being able to do more than what is expected in times of desperate need, humiliation and its effects, loyalty, regret, the gaiaphage (always there), relationships growing and breaking, turning a new leaf, death, and above all of it, fear enveloping the children of The Fallout Alley Zone in a tight embrace.
Made me really excited for Light!
By Nurture Waratah 16 Sep 2013
Fear is definitely the best Gone book yet. A tentative peace has emerged between Caine in Perdido Beach and Sam in Lake Tramonto. Tensions between freaks and normals has faded. Food is plentiful and starvation is no longer an issue. Drake hasn't been spotted in ages.
Suddenly, however, the barrier begins to turn black. Food once more becomes an issue. Astrid is back, but so is Drake and this time he must be faced in the dark.
Each installment in this series is better than the last, and Fear is no exception. Alternating between Pete's spirit, those trapped in the FAYZ and those trapped without, this book is by far the most fascinating and the most frightening. With the children facing their greatest threat yet, under observation of those outside, this book surely lives up to it's name. As with the previous books, I highly recommend you read this.

Pageant focuses on contestants' inner beauty
The March 19 contest, in its 11th year, brings together women older than 60 for a chance to highlight their knowledge, inner beauty and talents. The Senior Community Services Division of the Parks and Recreation Department sponsors the event.
Senior Services Supervisor Lisa Oliver said the pageant gives older women a chance to come out of their shells.
"It highlights the achievements of women who have reached the age of elegance," she said. "It's a great opportunity to see how much they can change as far as self-esteem."
Contestants will be judged in categories of interview, evening gown, inner beauty and talent. The winner will represent the Coastal Bend at the Ms. Texas Senior Pageant in Dallas in August. Oliver said she has witnessed women grow to love the spotlight during preparation for the event.
"This is the first time for many of them to be in front of an audience," she said. "It challenges them, but it also shows them what they can do."

WASHINGTON, May 26, 2006 Grassroots and corporate supporters came together May 24 at the home of Army Sgt. 1st Class Juanita Wilson here to honor and support her as she continues serving her country.
This is the fourth home repair project taken on by "Serving Those Who Serve," which was started in September by "Rebuilding Together," the nation's largest volunteer homebuilding organization, and backed by Countrywide Financial Corp.
"I'm very, very grateful for everything that you guys have done, the things you are doing, and the things that you will continue to do for the soldiers that are coming home," Wilson said at a news conference to volunteers helping refurbish her home. Wilson is one of 11 women injured in combat so far in the war on terror, having lost her left hand in Iraq on Aug. 21, 2004, when a roadside bomb detonated under her vehicle. She was treated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and given a prosthetic limb. She chose to re-enlist in April and now serves as a supply sergeant in the Active Guard/Reserve Program.
Patricia Johnson, president and chief executive officer of Rebuilding Together, spoke about the goals behind Serving Those Who Serve. "This program is about providing assistance -- home rehabilitation modification -- for soldiers, military men and women, who return from Iraq or Afghanistan and who have sustained life-changing injuries," she said.
The nonprofit organization is a member of "America Supports You," a Defense Department program highlighting grassroots and corporate support for the nation's servicemembers and their families.
Wilson's example is "an inspiration" to all Americans, said Johnson. "As a mother and a soldier, she entered a combat zone, and, after sustaining a significant injury, she chose to return to the military because she understands the importance of keeping our country safe and secure," she said.
Johnson thanked Countrywide, primary sponsor of Serving Those Who Serve. The company also is sponsoring a program to rebuild 1,000 homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
Rick Simon, a spokesman for Rebuilding Together, said the three previous projects completed by Serving Those Who Serve have been more invasive to servicemembers' homes because those troops were in wheelchairs. Changes to Wilson's house will focus on making life easier for Wilson and her 7-year-old daughter. Improvements include installing handrails throughout the home, re-arranging storage areas, landscaping, enhancing the lighting outside, replacing the doorknobs with lever handles, installing rocker wall switches and installing an upgraded security system.
Wilson said she had been worried about security since her husband, Charles, joined the Army and will be away for a long time.
Help from several companies and government groups made the project successful, and representatives from many of them were on hand, including John Ciresi of Countrywide, John Mills of the TW Perry building materials supply company, Justin Hayes from U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski's office, Laurie Atherholt from the Maryland Department of Veteran's Affairs, several members of the Maryland legislature, and radio personalities from the morning show at Baltimore radio station WIYY, "98 Rock." The radio station presented Wilson with a new home alarm system and two years of free service.
Ciresi, a Vietnam-era veteran, said at least 15 people from Countrywide gave up a day of work to help fix the house. Several volunteers spoke of their personal and family connections to the military.
"As I listen to the comments, I'm struck by the number of persons here who have personal relationships with the military, past and present, and that shows that the connection here is not an abstract one, but truly a personal one. And that is greatly appreciated," said Brig. Gen. William Waff, deputy commanding general of the 99th Regional Readiness Command of the Army Ready Reserve.
He joked that it is sometimes difficult to honor soldiers like Wilson, a senior noncommissioned officer who shuns the spotlight. Then he turned to her and said, "Sergeant Wilson, you have honored the country at least three times: once by your initial enlistment into the Army, second, by your service in Iraq and being awarded the Purple Heart and the Combat Action Badge, and then by re-enlisting on April 6. ... We thank you for your service to the Army and the nation."
