ROME (CNS) — After Pope Benedict XVI left the Vatican and began the last hours of his papacy, Cardinal Francis E. George of Chicago told reporters he already was considering the qualities of certain cardinals and what kinds of pope they would make.
"I would imagine each of us has some kind of a list of primary candidates and other secondary and tertiary," the cardinal told reporters in Rome Feb. 28 as he and fellow U.S. Cardinals Sean P. O'Malley of Boston and Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston met the press.
Because Pope Benedict had announced his intention to resign Feb. 11, Cardinal George said, the cardinals already had begun thinking of individuals they consider good candidates.
"There's a likely list at this point — it isn't winnowed yet — of people who might be considered candidates," he said.
In addition to the general meetings of the cardinals where the needs of the church are discussed, Cardinal George — who participated in the 2005 conclave that elected Pope Benedict — said there are "smaller, more intimate conversations" where the cardinals ask each other about specific cardinals they know or want to know more about.
He said they ask questions like, "What do you know about this candidate? And could you tell me how he would react to this? And what sort of person is he, what's his personality?"
Cardinal George said the cardinals being named possible candidates in the news — "all of them that I've seen, unlike last time — are, in fact, good candidates."
Asked whether Pope Benedict's resignation at 85 would cause the cardinals to look for younger, healthier popes than they may have in the past, Cardinal O'Malley said, "I think it's a little early to say what the long-term effect is going to be."
He said the conclave could elect "an older man, realizing that he's not going to have to carry on this burden into his 90s" because it would be easier to resign now that Pope Benedict has.
"Certainly, it's a whole new ballgame after this resignation," the Boston cardinal said.
The papacy is "an extremely demanding job," he said, so it also "could result in the conclave choosing a younger man."
Cardinal DiNardo said the cardinals are just coming to grips with the idea that a pope actually could resign, even though it always has been a possibility according to canon law.
At the same time, he said, the cardinals are not in the kind of rush news outlets are in and "it worries me intensely that people are making all kinds of judgments already when we're really only at the beginning of this. I think we need to be patient. The church is patient."
Cardinal George said the question on his mind and probably the minds of most other cardinal-electors is who would be best suited for the papacy.
"The question of where he might be from or even his age follows after that, it's secondary, not determinative," he said.
As for how Pope Benedict's resignation might change people's understanding of the papacy, Cardinal George said it is too early to know.
In a family, the father is still the father even when he is old or ailing, he said.
"Function doesn't count in a family, relationships do," he said. "And the church is a family, the family of God."
Whether a person can function in the office of pope "now becomes a more important question than it was before," he said, although it remains to be seen if that question will have a lasting impact on people's understanding of the papacy.

Isn't it interesting that this "Catholic news" service can always showcase the new-age proponents of pseudo-catholicism, thereby according them a degree of credibility they just do not deserve.
Take, for example, Cardinal George of Chicago. He is the fellow who still lets a demon named john fleger run around the Midwest, damning the Catholic Church and working full time to destroy it, while still calling himself a Catholic priest. He allows females who call themselves "nuns" to do the same thing. Mr. George is the former chair of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) who allowed various committees to give hundreds of millions of Catholic dollars to pro-abort, anti-Catholic groups around the globe; who allowed lay employees who headed those committees to sit as directors on various pro-abortion groups that were receiving our Catholic dollars; who had the USCCB write and distribute a voting guide booklet in 2008 that distorted Catholic doctrine and the teachings of Christ with the specific goal of leading Catholic voters to the satanic den of Barack Hussein Obama (from Chicago) and the American Party of Death; who sent his scandal-ridden protégé to the Diocese of Tucson to mislead Catholic voters while shielding the anti-Catholic pro-death politicians who call themselves Catholics; and who is allowing the City of Chicago to shut down long-standing Catholic ministries because they will not accommodate homosexual deviancy
Or maybe Cardinal O'Malley of Boston – he is the fellow who historically allowed Massachusetts Catholics to vote for such as Edward (Floaties) Kennedy, John F'ing Kerry who served in Viet Nam, and all of the other rabidly pro-abort, pro-euthanasia politicians who have haunted his social calendar. He is the fellow who allowed the Diocese of Boston Catholic health services to refer young mothers to abort (kill) their babies. He is the fellow who promoted a HUGE CATHOLIC funeral mass and celebration for the finally late Edward Kennedy, in celebration of all of the abortions he had promoted and funded.
I don't know about Cardinal DiNardo of Texas specifically, but maybe he had something to do with the bishop of Amarillo arresting Fr. Frank Pavone, the leader of Priests for Life and trying to destroy his ministry. This ministry works continually to save the lives of innocent human beings who segments of society try to kill for convenience. Fr. Pavone had to get help from the Vatican to get released back to his work. I don't know about Cardinal DiNardo, but apparently this "catholic news" service regards him as a bird of the same feather.
What might their agenda be in this process? Hmmmmmmm…

Yes, he was trying to sound like someone from Rhodesia. From IMDb: It is a Rhodesian accent, or Southern African.

Well found question! In short, and just from thoughts that rose at reading your translation, I suppose that name is saying that children - the movie shows enough children's abuse and misemployment - are just as or even more expensive then diamonds. 'Expensive' of course in the sense of precious.
Earlier in the film, the following exchange takes place between Archer and Solomon (from a transcript of the film): Archer: I've gotta quit smoking, huh? Solomon: Why don't you? Archer: I'll tell you what, Solomon. You find me this diamond, and I'll quit right then and there, huh? So, Archer will quit when he has the diamond. That's his "end ...
I would speculate that it Dia's primary purpose is to develop Solomon's character further and to highlight the differences between Solomon and Archer. Solomon is a foil of Archer, and his son Dia helps to highlight that point. While Archer is primarily driven by money and profit, having been a mercenary and now a smuggler; Solomon is motivated by his ...

When I broke up with my last girlfriend, I made it my mission to never look at her Facebook page again. But lately I've found myself typing into the search bar, watching her name populate—lingering—debating whether it'd be okay if I finally caved and clicked.
I'm not over her, nor am I really over any of the girls I've dated.
I'm completely okay with that.
There's a common conception about breakups: That you've only completed the process when you've finally moved on. It's only until you are over someone that you can get going with your new life. Over. A word that's as abstract as it is irrelevant.
Alongside this is the related sentiment that it's not healthy to hold on. That it is wrong, destructive and dangerous to be continually consumed by the people who longer consider you remotely relevant in their life.
I disagree with that. I don't believe cavalier indifference for former lovers makes us stronger, more emotionally balanced people. It's entirely the opposite. The inured and the unavailable, those who can leave their past in the past, are the ones who are off-kilter.
I think about every single one of my exes every single day. They come flittering across my mind at various points. Recalled by emotions and experiences I can't explain. I don't cower in bathroom, sitting on the stall in a sea of tears the moment after it occurs, but almost every time it brings me to a complete stop. Which is good. They shouldn't be dismissed as the wanton flutters of a bouncing mind.
Because they mean more than that. Every meaningful relationship has a profound impact on us and to think those can leave, even in the simplest of facets, is an exercise in absurdity.
If I no longer cared about any of the women that entered my life, the ones I've wooed and dated, I can't imagine enjoying any subsequent courtship. If I didn't understand the payoff, the enjoyment, why would I put myself through that process? Why would you for that matter? Why emotionally expose yourself, risk harm and long-term damage, if you weren't aware there was potential positive? You do it because you haven't let the enjoyable experiences of past relationships dissipate. They are there. Permanently.
And by filing everything former, there's the notion that you are categorizing those as wrong. As mistakes. It makes you forget the fun. To enjoy the experience rather than looking at each next person as the potential culmination of your romantic odyssey. Because if you are constantly moving past people, it's as if you are chugging through life, only interested in finding the right mate.
That shouldn't be your modus. Dating, romance, it isn't some spiral staircase where you use each step to further yourself along while simultaneously shuffling it out of your view.
Keep them there.
And keep them poignant. Don't allow the past to become experiences viewed through a dispassionate filter. It's okay to be sad. To reminisce. To experience those unrequited pangs even after you thought they'd permanently stopped. To looking longingly at something no longer there.
Everyone lives life for its highs. Everyone needs to understand there's nothing wrong with appreciating and enjoying its lows. The world is not an experience in exponentially growing happiness. It's an ever fluctuating sine curve. With radical dips and unexpected downturns. And if you are so completely over those exes of yours, and inexplicably a low hits, you'll feel wrong. Like you have an inability to move on. Everyone will tell you that. But not moving on? You'll be honest with yourself when the emotional inflections hit. In both directions.
And knowing, experiencing and appreciating these apexes and nadirs keeps you emotionally invested. If you keep moving on, from ex to the next, there's no way you won't metastasize into some hardened shell of yourself, no matter how much you deny it. There's no way wherein, if you bottle up and toss every experience far into an ocean outside yourself, you can continually be affected by future experiences. You'll be constantly guarding, divesting from the satisfying highs and tumultuous lows, maintaining a stasis so that, down the road, when this thing fails, you'll be able to discard it without having to painfully rip it from yourself.
I'm okay with it hurting. And the more I try to make the past ones not hurt, the more the future ones don't. It's good to remember. Don't do it dispassionately, from a callous perspective. You need to recall the inexplicable forces that caused you to act and react certain way. Because you'll encounter them again. There's a reason many of us tend to make the same mistake again and again. It's because we move those previous behaviors on to a shelf, into a taped up box containing one prior girlfriend or boyfriend. It's one we tell ourselves not to open. But moving past something means you can no longer learn from it.
I still remember exactly what I did to end my first serious relationship, to bring about inconsolable sobbing in the girl I loved. I could chalk the mistake up to being seventeen and never let it tug at my heart again. But that's not an honest way to live. I did it regardless of my age.
Being over is fighting it. Constantly. We are not the emotionally devoid creatures we'd like to be. So stop acting like it.
Allow yourself to cry on a random Tuesday nearly five years after a fateful night. Be filled with regret because you didn't make the right decision a decade ago. Remember why they left and what you did to cause it.
Stop being over and stop moving on. Instead, be here. With everything that brought you.

A trio of South African Davis Cup legends, including two former champions, have been presented with their Commitment Awards.
Cliff Drysdale, Wayne Ferreira and Frew McMillan were given their awards, which go to players who have competed in 20 Davis Cup home or away ties during their career, by ITF President Francesco Ricci Bitti and Tennis South Africa President Gavin Crookes.
Drysdale, Ferreira and McMillan are three of just four men from their country to have won a Davis Cup Commitment Award. The other is Rik de Voest, who was presented with it at a tie on home soil earlier this year.
Drysdale and McMillan were part of the South African team in 1974 that went on to win the title, the latter holding the record for the most Davis Cup ties played by a South African.
Among Ferreira's career records is being the South African to have played Davis Cup for the most years and winning the most rubbers.
South Africa will play in Europe/Africa Zone Group II next year.

Candie Yamm used to be very skinny, but now the tires have come. She is fairly tanned and wears glasses, sitting on the bed in a purple dress. Candie Yamm takes all her clothes off, then spreads herself over the bed. Her little titties are awfully small and her snatch is droopy. But she still wants to have an orgasm, so uses her naughty fingers and dips them down her cunt.

Four people were arrested on Tuesday, following a month long investigation by the Delaware State Police Kent County drug unit into a drug dealing operation out of a home in Felton.
After obtaining a search warrant State Police began to search the home in the 7000 of South Dupont Highway at around 6 p.m. last night.
When police entered the home Jessica Lobaccaro, 31 of Felton, was in the process of flushing drugs down a toilet, police said.
Lobaccaro, 35-year-old Felton resident Kenneth M. Collins, 26-year-old resident Jade M. Diana and a 15 year old boy were all taken into custody. In their search police uncovered 144 bags of heroin, weighing roughly 2.8 grams, as well as $120 in suspected drug profits, syringes and other drug paraphernalia, according to police.
All four subjects were transported back to State Police Troop three. Lobaccaro was processed for, possession with intent to deliver heroin, possession of heroin, tampering with physical evidence and possession of drug paraphernalia. She was incarcerated at Delores J. Baylor Women's Correctional Institute on $27,000.00 cash bond.
Collins and Diana were both processed for possession of drug paraphernalia. They were released on criminal summons.
The 15 year old, who was processed for possession with intent to deliver marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, was released to the custody of a parent pending a Family Court appearance.

The first known person in the U.S. to be diagnosed with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome is recovering at the Community Hospital in Munster, Indiana. State officials said this morning that the patient is expected to return home soon as his health is improving.
The first case of the virus in the country was confirmed on Friday, May 2. An epidemiologist from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the patient works in a hospital in Saudi Arabia where MERS patients are treated, but it is unclear if he was in direct contact with the diagnosed MERS patients.
CDC representatives confirmed last week that the patient carried the virus to Indiana on April 24 after flying from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to London, and then to O'Hare Airport where he left for Indiana on a bus.
Health care officials in Britain contacted any passengers who sat near the patient. U.S. health care officials believe the virus offers a low risk to the general public.
Saudi officials stated that MERS was first discovered in Saudi Arabia in 2012. Of the 396 cases in the country, more than a quarter of the patients have died from the virus for which there is no treatment.
The patient's initial symptoms included a cough and fever. Doctors tested for the virus at the Community Hospital and a diagnosis was eventually confirmed. He was put into isolation at the hospital, as well as any hospital staff members who had direct contact with the patient.
Community Hospital in Munster continues to reach out to anyone who may have been exposed to the virus, as well as administer MERS tests to family members and hospital workers who were in the vicinity of the patient.
The hospital urges people who visited the Emergency Department between the hours of 6:30p.m. and 9:30p.m. to be cautious of symptoms such as cold, fever and breathing problems. So far, no other cases of MERS have been confirmed and all tests are returning negative.
While the patient is still in isolation, he is feeling optimistic about his future.

Rose Tour Begins!
2011-08-16 16:00:00
The Carlton Hotel Dublin Airport were delighted to welcome the 32 Roses on Sunday night as the Rose Tour for 2011 officially began! On their first night there was an informal reception in Clouds Restaurant where the Roses were given their official Rose of Tralee sashes. Many of the Roses had travelled a long distance so it was an early night for all as they had a busy day ahead of them on Monday.
Yesterday kicked off with a visit to Crumlin Children's Hospital followed by a trip to Croke Park. For some of the Roses it was their first visit to the home of GAA but others had been before to watch their home counties play. Then it was back to the Carlton Hotel Dublin Airport for lunch where I had my first encounter with the Ottawa Rose! I bumped into the Roses as they were taking part in a photoshoot but unfortunately I couldn't stop for too long although there will be plenty more opportunities to get to know them during the week. They left the hotel in the evening to travel to Newbridge Silverware where they were shown pieces of jewellery to select for the TV nights.
This morning the Roses were out at the RTE studios for their official photoshoot with Dáithí Ó'Sé followed by an afternoon of sightseeing around Dublin. Tonight the Roses will attend a gala evening in the Carlton Hotel Blanchardstown which will also mark the official opening of the hotel. It promises to be a great evening and I'll be back tomorrow with all the news from the night!

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – A small amount of a pro-inflammatory protein may actually help cognition, according to research from the University of Texas Health Center.
Although inflammation is believed to be responsible for a variety of diseases, researchers were able to show low levels of the protein interleukin-6 are important in a key kind of cognition called reversal learning. This kind of learning is diminished in many psychiatric diseases like depression, schizophrenia, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Researchers blocked interleukin-6 in the brains of stressed-induced rats, and found this hampered their cognitive ability. But when they restored the protein to the brain, the cognitive deficit disappeared.
"We've replicated just one piece of a very complex disease so we can understand the biology," senior study author David Morilak, PhD, was quoted as saying. "There's still a lot of work to do."

Cyber-attacks directed against enterprises have grown both in numbers and sophistication over the past decade to a point where breach and data theft have become inevitable, according to ABI Research (www.abiresearch.com). In 2013, more than 800 million records were exposed as a result of data breach incidents.
A number of organizations including online auction site eBay, U.S. retailer Target, telecom operator AT&T, and social networking sites Facebook, Gmail, YouTube, Twitter, and LinkedIn have reported massive data breaches in recent months, according to the research group. Hacking remains the leading cause for most attacks followed by malware and physical attacks such as point-of-sale intrusions and card skimming.
A data breach incident can have disastrous consequences on all businesses resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue and potential fines, not to mention the lingering impact on...| Read more »

On Sunday, May 4 the Miss Nevada United States organization held its annual pageant in the showroom of the Southpoint Casino in Las Vegas. The winner of the Ms. Nevada Unites States title for 2014 was Brittany Williams.
Most people who watch pageants on television know what beauty queens look like. They are tall, mostly, slim and feminine, always. Brittany Williams is not that girl. She is beautiful, to be sure, with flashing eyes that commanded the stage, but a body type that doesn't fit the "pageant girl" image. Nobody is going to confuse her with a fashion model. Too strong, too powerful.
So what's Brittany Williams doing wearing that crown? Therein is a story, and it's a story worth telling.
Young Brittany was always something of a tomboy, fully engaged in the rough and tumble of life, not so much with the feminine appearances that are a part of so many girls' self-definition. By the time she had reached her senior year of college in Virginia, the social pressures that come with that choice had taken their toll, and she began to doubt her own self-worth and attractiveness.
Well, not one to mope about the vicissitudes of life, Brittany decided to confront her lack of self assurance. Might as well jump directly into the deep end; she entered a beauty pageant both to learn something of self presentation skills, and to test her "attractiveness". And she failed. Not only did she not win, she didn't even place. The experience, for all its value as experience, ended up throwing her into a year-long depression.
She took her new degree in Hotel Management to Las Vegas, moped for a bit, and then charged right back into the "self esteem" battle. Body building followed, and more pageants. She won some titles, lost sometimes, and culminated her career in 2008, winning the Miss United States crown. So much for tomboy.
Since then Brittany has devoted her time, in addition to her job as a realtor, to working with women and girls who have self esteem problems through her B Fab You Lous organization. Her message is not that everyone needs to become a model-type, but that women can grab their self-definition by the throat and shake it until it until it gets into line. This is not "self esteem" that is gifted by society, but is earned by accomplishment.
Finally, Brittany decided to have one more fling at pageants – to take her body-builder, powerful body and winning smile back to the stage, and own the judges and the crowd. To accept nothing less.
And that's exactly what happened. Brittany now advances to the national pageant in Washington, DC, where she hopes to add the Ms. Crown, and be the winner of both major divisions. A force to be reckoned with is coming to DC.

One couple's recent discovery of a dog in Del Valle, Texas, is a lesson in hope; according to Monday's KSDK News, the apparent stray belonged to a family who lost her a year ago.
The friendly, cream-colored pup, who was covered in burrs, showed up at the door of Jason and April Ludwig last month. According to Jason, the dog was extremely thirsty and a bit thin...she appeared to have been living without care for some time.
Fortunately, the dog was wearing a collar and a rabies tag which allowed the good Samaritans who found her to do a bit of sleuthing to find out who she belonged to.
Nobody knows where the dog, whose name is "Sadie," had magically appeared from, but when her owners were found, they told the Del Valle couple that Sadie had been missing from their home in Leander for a year...the town is over an hour away from the home where she was found.
Sherry Payne, Sadie's guardian, expressed her amazement over the discovery of her dog in an interview with KVUE News:
"I'm in shock really you know I just couldn't believe that after all that time she is back with us,"
Sadie's other guardian, Kaylee Payne, voiced her happiness as well:
"It was sad because she's been such a big part of our lives and our family and it was sad she wasn't there and to be given a second chance, it was more than I could say. Tears of joy for sure,"
There must be a good vibe coming from the Del Valle couple's home...on the day that the local news agency stopped in to interview them about Sadie's amazing reunion, another stray dog showed up at their doorstep.
Though this dog was also wearing a rabies tag, the identity of his owners has not yet been determined. In the meantime, he's received a much needed bath and is fortunate enough to be in the midst of true dog lovers.

RITA Award finalist and Christy Award winner Julie Klassen delivers historical romances brimming with the eloquence and intensity of Jane Austen. In an abandoned gatehouse on an old estate, Mariah Aubrey lives in seclusion. She supports herself by writing novels in secret—at a time when such writing is considered improper and unladylike. Soon the wealthy and ambitious Captain Bryant leases the estate and is intrigued by the beautiful girl in the gatehouse. But will he risk his plans—and his heart—for a woman shadowed by scandal?

"Amazing and Fresh Story and Characters"
The Girl in the Gatehouse by Julie Klassen
I have listened to all of Julie Klassen's audiobooks available as downloads through audible.com. She doesn't write like anyone else that I know. I love that she gives us fresh writing that is not constrained by formulas and rule-following despite her having been an editor herself! Her main characters and minor are vibrant and memorable. The romance was realistic and full of great tension.
Many of the other Regencies I have read all sound alike. But Klassen's fresh voice shines throughout the story telling. The narrator was a great choice for this audiobook.
Mariah Aubry is hiding in her relative's gatehouse, with a view of a building nearby that houses a number of needy souls. And she has a secret – she's a novelist (which I love because I write fiction!) Captain Matthew Bryant is too good for the conniving beauty who threw him aside for another wealthier man. But he has to struggle with his own demons as he charts a new course for his life. Within the gatehouse is something that will change their lives if they can keep it from her deceased aunt's wicked stepson. Ms. Klassen does a great job of keeping the reader wondering about the hero and the antagonist and provides a wonderfully satisfying ending to the story.
The only complaint I have with this audiobook is that I like to listen while I am doing other activities such as cleaning. And I wanted to hear every word. The great thing is I can play this over and over again!
I highly recommend this book. The reader should understand that this is an inspirational historical romance. The publisher, Bethany House, produces outstanding Christian fiction by top authors. There is a strong spiritual arc embedded within the story. Purchase now!
"Great Listen"
Different, out of the box characters, no bad language, uplifting, not preachy. Will listen to this one again.
"Good read, enjoyed this!"
This is a good story, likable characters, nice setting and mood. The story dragged a bit at times but those few times were fairly quick to get through.
This is a great one to read while sitting outside taking in the sun on a beautiful spring/summer day, I will listen to this again.
It was a pleasure to listen to her.
"Excellent Historical Novel!"
This starts out a little slow, in keeping with the genre as there are multiple story lines to set up for this rather intriguing story. It has a lot of depth and detail, and some twists and turns. I kept returning to it and as time went on, did not want it to end. This is one to take the time to enjoy. Perhaps there will be a sequel, as there could be a few directions in which this could story line could be developed. I sure hope so.
"Great book!!!"
Love the book!! Enjoyed the performance!! I am grateful for the values and morals presented.
"I was hesitant!"
I hesitated a long time before finally listening to this book. I am glad I read it! The story was pure and uplifting and I loved how the characters created their own family of misfits.
Kristi Philbrook
"Excellent narration and book."
Great Author,excellent reader.thoroughly enjoyed.Im glad to have discovered Julie Klassen.definitely ranks at the top of my list of writers.
"Good story"
The girl in the Gatehouse was a great read. The characters captured your heart and the descriptions were vivid and made you want to be there with them.
"Enjoyed every moment!"
Julie Klassen is has become one of my favorite in this genre of Historical Fiction. Very reminiscent of Austen and Bronte, with smart modern writing techniques, and wonderfully engrossing plots.

New York's MTAB&T to do all-electronic toll pilot at Henry Hudson Bridge plaza
New York's MTA Bridges and Tunnels (MTAB&T) are doing a "pilot project" with all-electronic toll (AET) collection at the Henry Hudson Bridge plaza on the far northern tip of Manhattan island. A staff presentation to the MTA board says the benefits of all-electronic are: less stopping and reduced travel times for motorists, reduced operating costs for MTAB&T and reduced capital cost in the future.
The Henry Hudson Bridge has been chosen because:
- lacking nearby entries and exits it is naturally a free flowing facility
- there are potential savings from not proceeding with an otherwise necessary rebuild of the toll plaza
- there is a high out-of-state component to the traffic (NJ, CT, PA drivers) so interstate collection can be tested
- it serves a cars-only parkway so there are no vehicle classification complications
- it is a medium sized facility with 60k to 70k transactions/day
Gateless Jan 2011
They plan to start mid-January 2011 by removing the gates and installing cameras - initially to identify violators, later to do toll-by-plate of vehicles without a transponder.
Staff are seeking Board approval this week for implementing a toll violation fee. At present all the toll lanes in the MTAB&T system - whether transponder or cash - are gated. The gate in the down position prevents violations.
They are proposing a $50 toll violation fee.
They say in materials going to the Board that the fee will encourage motorists to have a working E-ZPass transponder or to pay the license plate toll. It will also, they say "ameliorate the financial burdens" of toll evasion on the toller.
The fee is intended to be "revenue neutral," the income from violation fees being designed to offset the costs of collection and toll revenues foregone.
A year gateless, then AET
Around January 2012 cash collection will cease and the plaza will go all-electronic - E-ZPass transponders plus license plate tolls in the mail. All traffic will flow through the toll point at highway speed.
Payment will be accepted on-line, by phone, by mail or through payment agencies.
Some minor improvements will be made to the toll plaza area as part of AET work. But no toll booths or other cash toll lane equipment will be permanently removed until after AET has been tested and assessed and a decision taken to make it permanent.
Total project cost is put at about $10m, split between Phase 1 Gateless $4.6m, and Phase 2 AET $5.4m.
Telvent, MTAB&T's toll system contractor is doing the system work for AET.
Others to follow if successful
A presentation says: "A successful pilot (at the Henry Hudson Bridge) will also permit B&T to use AET at other crossings to reduce costs for toll plaza replacements and rehabilitations in future capital programs."
The principal risk acknowledged is possible revenue losses.
However this will be "mitigated" by enhanced collaboration with DMVs (motor registries), use of enforcement law, and regional coordination of business rules with nearby states moving toward AET - notably New Jersey which is committed to early AET on the Atlantic City Expressway.
The bridge
Henry Hudson Bridge is a double deck roadway of plate girder atop a 256m, 840ft steel arch span over the tidal Harlem River at the very northern tip of Manhattan where it flows into the also tidal Hudson River.
Classified New York state route 9A (NY9A) it is an integral part of the Henry Hudson Parkway which runs as a cars-only tight expressway along the Hudson River waterfront from 57th Street in midtown Manhattan all the way up through Washington Heights to Inwood Hill Park. On the northern side it has connections to the Saw Mill River Parkway and the Cross County Parkway in Westchester County.
Part of Robert Moses great parkway system it is only open to passenger vehicles - no trucks. Opened in Dec 1936 it provides a magnificent entry to Manhattan from the north.
An oddity is that the upper deck is narrower than the lower deck that is presently set up to carry 4 lanes southbound. The upper deck carries three lanes northbound.
The original lower deck has been rebuilt in recent years and it is planned to convert it to 3 wider lanes plus shoulder when the deck rebuild is completed - matching the three lanes of the upper deck.
The bridge is named after the great British explorer Henry Hudson who explored and mapped much of north American coast in the early 1600s. His voyages were sponsored by London merchants hoping to find a northwest passage to Japan and China. His ship the Half Moon anchored near the site of the bridge in 1609. After a mutiny in 1611 Hudson died in what is now Hudson Bay Canada at about age 51.
Your editor lived in Tarrytown NY and worked at Madison Avenue and 49th St 1980-82 and used the Henry Hudson bridge quite often.
Almost underneath the bridge on the Bronx side is a commuter rail station named Spuyten Duyvil, a colorful Dutch name "Spite of the Devil" for the fierce tidal currents of the rivers nearby.
The bridge was originally built by the Henry Hudson Parkway Authority that also financed and built with toll revenue bonds the splendid parkway of which it is the centerpiece. It was transferred to the Triborough Bridge Authority, which transmuted into the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority.
Toll only $3
The current toll is a modest $3.00 cash and $2.09 by E-ZPass transponder account. No vehicles over 3.18t, 7000pd gross weight are allowed. Future AET tolls have not yet been determined.
The toll plaza on the immediate Manhattan side of the bridge is an awkward double deck affair because of the double-deck of the bridge. It seems to have seven toll lanes each direction for a total of 14 toll lanes (NEED TO CHECK) but some of the cash lanes are no longer staffed on account of the high E-ZPass transponder usage - over 80%.
America's top toller by revenue - annual tolls are running at around $1.4 billion - MTAB&T has a total of seven toll bridges and two toll tunnels (see top map for all nine) providing crucial road connections between the five boroughs of New York City:
- Robert F Kennedy Bridge, previously the Triborough Bridge, an unusual T-plan arrangement of three major bridges and an interchange on an island in the middle connecting Bronx, Queens and upper Manhattan
- Bronx Whitestone and Throgs Neck bridges both major suspension spans across Long Island Sound linking Queens/Long Island to Bronx, Westchester County and Connecticut
- Queens Midtown Tunnel and Brooklyn Battery Tunnel linking mid and lower Manhattan under the tidal East River to Queens and Brooklyn at the western end of Long Island
- Verrazano Narrows Bridge a grand suspension span over the mouth of New York harbor linking Brooklyn and Long Island to Staten Island, part of a key route to the mainland in New Jersey
- Marine Parkway and Cross Bay Bridges over Jamaica Bay providing access for the Rockaways beach communities on the narrow peninsula along the oceanfront
Operating expenses of MTAB&T including depreciation are $529m, for earnings on the $1,346m tolls of $816m before interest in 2009. The earnings are used to subsidize the lossmaking rail transit operations of the MTA - the subways and commuter trains.
Traffic on the nine MTAB&T crossings peaked in 2007 at 304m or an average daily 834k. It has declined since with the economy and employment to 291m in 2009, 798k/day.
Henry Hudson Bridge traffic was pretty constant 2002 to 2007 at 24m to 25m/year (average daily 66k to 68k) but has since also declined and is now 7% lower at 22.6m (62k/day). The bridge is expected to gross $54m tolls in 2010.

Wait for the stock split.
As I wrote elsewhere on this board a few weeks ago:
The market is overdue for a correction. The AMGN chart shows substantial up-side resistance at $90 with backing and filling between about 82 and 88. I'd be a buyer on a dip to 81-82. If it breaks below 80 there's trouble ahead. The supply overhang is huge, and the stock has run out of momentum. Long term, AMGN could be a decent "hold" on a correction to 75-73.
It's now a big winner!

MANASSAS, Va. (AP) - The lawyer for sniper suspect John Allen Muhammad denounced the "cowards in law enforcement" Wednesday for leaking details of the investigation to a newspaper.
The comments by Peter Greenspun came after Muhammad made his second appearance in a Prince William County courthouse to face capital murder charges in a fatal Oct. 9 shooting at a Manassas-area gas station.
Greenspun asked the judge to wait until Dec. 12 to set a trial date, partially waiving Muhammad's right to a speedy trial. That means a trial would have to begin by early May, unless Muhammad waives additional rights. Prosecutor Paul Ebert has said he expects the case to take a year or so to get to trial.
Muhammad, 41, sat impassively during the hearing, saying only "yes, sir," when asked by Circuit Judge Leroy F. Millette if he needed court-appointed counsel.
Greenspun saved his strongest comments for after the hearing. He accused police of trying to poison the jury pool by anonymously telling The Washington Post the other sniper suspect, 17-year-old John Lee Malvo, had confessed to some of the shootings.
"I think there are cowards in law enforcement who ... wanted to taint the jury pool, who wanted to seal public perception in this case," Greenspun said.
"I am hopeful the public will keep an open mind in this case and not listen to the innuendo, half-truths and misinformation coming from law-enforcement sources."
He said he has met with Muhammad and that he has been cooperative, but he declined to talk about evidence or trial tactics.
Both Muhammad and Malvo could face the death penalty. The two are suspected in a months-long shooting spree that left 14 people dead.

Placenta previa?
I'm 12 weeks and my placenta is blocking my cervix. Over the past few weeks, I've had a number of episodes of painless but copious bright red bleeding. My doctor said the blocked cervix was the cause. I've read that this occurs with placenta previa later in pregnancy, but not in the first trimester. Has anyone else had experience with such bleeding as a result of a blocked cervix so early in pregnancy? Thanks!

i am 15 weeks now and i am going through this as well i am not sure what to think what i have read is really scary if anyone has info or can help reassure us that would be awesome!posted 06/28/2010 by baby 3 soon 10
I was in the emergency room over the weekend for th same thing, and I am 11 weeks pregnant, so you are not alone. Certainly terrifying, especially after doing internet searches and reading tht it happens in the third trimester.posted 11/24/2008 by amandakgb
I too have joined the ranks of placenta previa pregnancies, although the doctor tells me that mine is only "physiological" and that in 90% of cases moves away as the uterus grows. I am currently at 10 weeks, but was diagnosed with PP two weeks ago. I had light bleeding at 8 weeks (dark brown, no clots) with no accompanying pain or discomfort, but I completely freaked out and thought I was miscarrying. The doctor brought me in for an ultrasound, and instead of tragedy, we got to hear our embryo's heartbeat for the first time! Then I bled again last week, and was told to "take it easy" - no heavy lifting, no exercise, limit my bending. It stopped after a couple of days, so I figured I was in the clear. I bled again this past week, and was put on bed rest for a couple of days until my next appointment at the OB's office. When I got there, I was told to continue to "take it easy." I thought I was, but I spotted blood again this morning, so here I am, back in bed again. Ugh.posted 03/01/2008 by Awestermann
I am 11 weeks and just found out that I have marginal previa. I had been bleeding for the last 18 days. So I started bleeding in week 9. The OB said the baby looks healthy, so I am going to try and stay positive and not worry to much.posted 02/26/2008 by SaydeMae
At 19.5 weeks my Doctor stated that I may have placenta previa. I was wondering if anyone else who has been diagnosed with this has continued to exercise. I try and ride my Elliptical machine 3 or 4 times a week to keep my strengh and energy levels up.posted 01/25/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I was diagnosed with placenta previa at 16 weeks after an episode of bright red bleeding. The doctors recommended that I rest until it stopped, which took about four days, and restricted my activies (pelvic rest) until my next ultrasound, which is in about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks. I did not have any pain either, but the bleeding is scary. I've continued to have light pink spotting from time to time so am just trying to stay calm. Apparently the best thing you can do is take it easy. Hang in there!posted 01/27/2008 by IndyAng

Safety First!
Did you know that spring cleaning can be hazardous to your health if you don't take the proper precautions? Learn spring cleaning safety tips here to keep you and your family safe this spring.
Rule 1: Do Not Mix Chlorine Bleach With Vinegar Or Ammonia
Mixing chlorine bleach with vinegar, an acid, or ammonia, an alkali, can cause the creation of toxic fumes which can be deadly.
Therefore, do not mix chlorine bleach with any acids or alkalis.
If in doubt about the ingredients in various products, read the ingredients label or do not mix them together.
Rule 2: Do Not Mix Acids And Alkalis Together
Common household acids used to make homemade cleaning products include vinegar and lemon juice.
Common household alkalis used to make homemade cleaners include baking soda and ammonia.
Do not mix acids and alkalis together because this negates the effectiveness of both types of products.
Rule 3: Mix Ingredients In An Area With Proper Ventilation
All cleaning products can produce fumes, especially when you are pouring and mixing them.
Therefore, exercise proper safety precautions by always mixing your cleaning products in a well ventilated area of your home or outside.
Rule 4: Make Only Enough Cleaning Solution For A Few Days
It is tempting, when you already have all the ingredients out for various homemade cleaning recipes, to try to make a big batch to last quite a while.
Unfortunately, this will not save you either time or money in the end.
Many cleaning products, especially homemade ones, lose their effectiveness quickly as they break down.
Therefore, make only enough of your own cleaning products to last for the next couple of days and then just mix a fresh batch later when you need some more.
Rule 5: Store Them In A Safe Place, Away From Kids
The final rule when you make your own cleaning products is that just because the cleaning product is homemade does not mean that it is safe for children.
Store all cleaning products, including homemade ones, away from children and pets.

In the previous section of "Running first JRuby program" example you must be aware with the way to run JRuby program. Now in this example you will know to "Calculate Factorial in JRuby".
In this example we have defined a function factorial( number) which takes the number as argument for which factorial is to be evaluated. Variable "n" will consists of the evaluated result finally and we can print the result by calling function factorial(). Here is the example code for calculating factorial in JRuby as follows:
|require "java"
# Define method factorial
def factorial(n)
if n = = 0
n * factorial(n-1)
# Printing factorial of 5
puts factorial(5).to_i

Are there known examples of compact infinite dimensional manifolds?
The word "manifold" is important.
closed as unclear what you're asking by BS., Andrey Rekalo, Carlo Beenakker, Ricardo Andrade, David White Oct 25 '13 at 12:44
Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The empty space is a manifold of any dimension.
No, seriously, let's assume that "manifold" means a Hausdorff space in which every point has an open neighborhood homeomorphic to an open subset of a topological vector space. If the manifold is compact and nonempty then the vector space must be locally compact. As far as I know, that makes it finite-dimensional.
Yes. Compact Hilbert cube manifolds, for instance.

Junior right-handed pitcher David Berg has been named to the Golden Spikes Award Preseason Watch List, as announced by USA Baseball today.
The Golden Spikes Award is presented annually at the end of the season to the top amateur baseball player. In 2011, right-handed pitcher Trevor Bauer became the first UCLA ballplayer to win the Golden Spikes Award.
Berg led the nation with 24 saves in 2013 while guiding the Bruins to their first College World Series title. He made 51 appearances during his sophomore campaign, finishing the season with a 7-0 record and a 0.92 ERA with 78 strikeouts in 78.0 innings of work. At one point last season, Berg had a scoreless-innings streak of 37 straight innings without allowing a run and finished second in the country in ERA and fourth in WHIP (0.84). He also held opponents to a .190 batting average against him and became the first player in NCAA history to appear in 50 or more games in back-to-back seasons. Additionally, Berg was named an All-American by every major outlet in the country and was named the 2013 Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year and NCBWA Stopper of the Year (given out to the nation's top relief pitcher).
In two seasons at UCLA, Berg has appeared in 101 games, which is already good for third-most in school history. The Covina, Calif. native has posted a 12-3 overall record in those 101 appearances, logging a 1.18 ERA in the process. In addition, he is the only pitcher in UCLA history to lead the conference in ERA in back-to-back seasons. Finally, Berg is UCLA's all-time record holder for most postseason appearances (17), postseason saves (6) and career saves (25).
UCLA is ranked as high as No. 8 in the preseason polls and opens the season tonight against the Portland Pilots at 6 p.m. out at Jackie Robinson Stadium. The two schools will continue their three-game set on Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. and 1 p.m. respectively.

I stopped an ibm x series 266 server to clean it out. It has two scsi drives in raid 1, 36 gb. While I had the drives out for cleaning I started the server to get the fans running, to exhaust dust that was being stirred up.
Now when it boots, after it runs through id'ing the scsi devices it fails to boot with 'ntldr is missing'. This is windows 2003.
When it is scanning for scsi devices it seems to find the 36gb scsi array. My idea is that because it booted without the drives once (or tried to) it somehow lost it's idea of booting from the raid array. I have been into both the main bios and the scsi setup and don't see what to do to fix this. There are two scsi channels (I think they are called, I'm not good with scsi) listed, A and B.
AIC-7902 A at slot 00 03:03:00 AIC-7902 B at slot 00 03:03:01
A only hosts the adapter on ID 7. The other channel B shows two 36gb IBM devices, those would be the hard disks, on ID 0 and 1, the adapter on 7. Both A and B have master scsi controller and boot scsi controller set to B.
Or is it finding the boot device? I don't see an OS not found message, or whatever the equivalent is for windows 2003.
Can someone point me to a config setting that would solve this issue?

What is a flood? You might think the answer obvious but take a close look at a few different insurance policies and you may find the definition is as clear as the mud still covering parts of Queensland.
No one is overjoyed when a natural disaster causes widespread damage, least of all those who have lost everything and been uninsured. But perhaps a close second on the unhappy list are the insurance companies whose job it is to make good on their commitments to those who have insurance. Hardly good for profits.
But what do we have insurance for if not to cover our financial losses when disaster strikes?
Unfortunately, as thousands of flood-affected victims have lately realised, it pays to ask questions before signing up to an insurance policy. Assume nothing.
In the eyes of the insurance companies, whether or not a claim is successful will depend on what ultimately caused the water damage to your home.
According to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission's (ASIC's) flood insurance guide, standard home and contents insurance usually only covers you for storm water damage, such as when a storm rips a hole in your ceiling that lets water in. Many insurance companies also cover for rainwater damage.
Importantly though, home and contents insurance doesn't typically cover you for water damage caused by a river, dam, lake or natural watercourse overflowing. Such as the Brisbane River breaking its banks.
This means Toowoomba victims whose homes were damaged following a heavy storm that caused water to flood downhill, may have more success with their claims than the flood-affected residents of Brisbane's riverside suburbs.
The words 'water damage' in your policy do not necessarily mean you're covered for flood damage. In fact, 'flood damage' may be carefully hidden in your policy's exclusions clause, often in fine print.
It's confusing. Every policy is different and even a subtle change in the wording can make a big difference.
It's hardly surprising that there is a call for an insurance industry shakedown. Many are demanding that a standard flood definition be incorporated into the Insurance Contracts Act. Other suggestions include providing more explicit information to consumers, and using plain English in policy wording.
In the meantime the advice seems clear; shop around before choosing a policy. Ask detailed questions about what is and isn't included, and compare the wording in different policies.
The law says that insurers have to act in "good faith". Their intentions must be honest. They can't deliberately trick or deceive you, and must abide by what is stated in the policy. It will be interesting to see what legal battles ensue over the coming months for alleged breach of good faith.

Spaghetti with Swiss Chard and Garlic Chips
Gourmet, November 2008
Makes 4 to 6 servings
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 head garlic, cloves peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise though I am sure crosswise would work as well
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup dried currants (we skipped this)
2 pounds green Swiss chard, stems and center ribs finely chopped and leaves coarsely chopped separately
1/2 cup water
1 pound spaghetti
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, cut into slivers
6 ounces feta, crumbled (1 1/2 cups)
Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then cook garlic, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer garlic with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
Cook onion in oil remaining in skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add currants and cook, stirring, until plumped, about 1 minute.
Stir chard stems into onion mixture with water and 3/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Cook, covered, over medium-high heat until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in chard leaves and cook, covered, until stems and leaves are tender, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook spaghetti in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 5 quarts water) until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water and drain spaghetti.
Toss spaghetti with chard, olives, and 1/2 cup cooking water, adding more cooking water if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Serve sprinkled with feta and garlic chips.

Not much to say about the game.
Commenting on the Charge of the Light Brigade, Marshal Canrobert said: "C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre."
The game was fun, but it wasn't hockey.
All-Star weekend, however, was a chance for Montreal to manifest its love affair with hockey.
Michael Farber wrote about it in Sports Illustrated. So did Lynn Zinser in the New York Times and Sean Gordon in the Globe and Mail.
The players raved about what a great time they had. Alexander Ovechkin heaped praise on Montreal, saying the All-Star game should be here every year.
This is his kind of town, Moscow-on-the-St. Lawrence. Just as cold as the Russian capital – but we have more Marxists.
Again, the game was a joke.
But everyone had fun, and I'm all for anything that showcases Montreal as the best place in the world to play hockey.
• • •
From J.T., who was watching the game on the tube:
My favourite moment of the entire game was when Price called Kovy's shot on the breakaway goal in the second. Freidman was interviewing Price on the bench when the breakaway happened. Friedman said, "Quick, what's he going to do?" Price nochalantly said, "Backhand, shelf." A split second later, that's exactly what Kovalev did. Friedman started to laugh and Price deadpanned, "Yeah, he does that a lot." Brilliant!

And finally, a clip that captures the essence of All-Star Weekend: Ovechkin and Vinny checking out Montreal honeys on the scoreboard.

There was a clear-cut divide between the BSB (Backstreet Boys) fanatics and NKOTB (New Kids on the Block) diehards in the TD Garden, last night. If you were lucky enough, *points to self*, you were a pop music-loving female in both 1988 and 1998. Whoever you were, it didn't matter, as there was plenty of boy band to go around.
Boston knows how to welcome home their own. We hold on tight to what is ours: New Edition, Aerosmith, The Dropkicks, a handful of others and The New Kids. Joey, Jordan, Jonathan, Donnie and Danny were visibly overwhelmed by the love their Boston audience showed them. Don't feel bad for the Backstreet Boys, they got an equal share of affection from the Beantown crowd. Everyone went home a winner.
The crew of nine has aged like fine wine, altogether, going by NKOTBSB. The show was an ideal mix of ballads and fast-paced dance numbers. Nick Carter still draws the most shrieks from the crowd, with Brian, AJ and Howie all tied in second place. A general observation revealed, most BSB devotees were too young to know all of the words to "Please, Don't Go Girl" and on the flip side, many NKOTB supporters were unfamiliar with "10,000 promises." Some of us, *points to self*, knew every word to every tune on the 30+ song set list.
Let's give major credit to the tour's production crew. The lighting and effects throughout the 2+ hour set was spectacular and timed to perfection. The physical stage design was artfully thought out, giving fans in a 19,600-seat arena, a chance to get up close and personal, with a huge runway down the center. Each squad's routine used the entire layout, even making entrances from the back of the arena and bravely walking amongst their adoring (and...ahem...hands on) fans.
NKOTBSB is all about their fans, constantly connecting with ladies in the crowd, waving and winking, with high-fives and handshakes for all. The fellas know who keeps 'the pride' alive.
Sidebar: Howie D. is everybody's new favorite, isn't he? Sorry, AJ.
After you got your money's worth and more, the final song was a "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)"/"Hangin' Tough" mash-up, with all nine guys in Bruins jerseys. Although it didn't bring an OT win to our hockey team, it was quite the finish.
Ladies, there is still time to hustle for those Fenway tickets. Donnie Wahlberg tears his shirt off during "Covergirl." Are you running yet?
Let's all quit our jobs and follow the tour? Who's in? *points to self*
Twitter Buzz:
@joeymcintyre | Oh Garden, how I love thee. I can not count the ways. Say we'll be together again, for it is never enough when we are together. #melancholy
@Woth2982 | So funny all the NKOTB girls like howie. He's like the Danny of BSB. Good to see howie getting some love.
@PennyRomance | Most unexpectedly cool thing about NKOTBSB concert last night...Nick Carter. He rocked! Also, who knew BSB were such good singers? Not me!
@tay_houston | @NKOTB get me everytime i listen to them! and @NKOTBSB i just wanna die of happiness. I dont think i have ever loved a music group this much

Christmas wishes for many children frequently involve things that are fun and flashy, cool and hip, or maybe loud and fast. And for adults, often the impractical (or what some might also call "re-gifts").
Well, here's a very practical gift idea that is guaranteed to satisfy the wish-lists of members of both demographics: make a tax credit contribution for Catholic schools.
Making that year-end tax credit contribution yields a charitable gift that builds a lasting legacy of academic and moral excellence which benefits all members of our community — and comes back to the giver as a dollar-for-dollar tax credit against any taxes otherwise owed. So it's not like it actually costs anything to give, but oh, what a gift it is for our recipients.
Admittedly it's a bit hard to wrap, but there will be no shortage of celebrating when Mom or Dad opens that scholarship award letter that will be coming in the mail next spring to that family in need.
"Congratulations! We are pleased to announce your child has received a scholarship award for the 2014/15 school year in the amount of…"
Talk about "tidings of great joy."
Letters with similar greetings were mailed out to 5,534 students earlier this year — children that are now sitting in seats in Catholic schools where they are encouraged and assisted to grow mentally, physically and, of course, spiritually.
We say "of course" because only in a Catholic school are children truly free to explore and learn fully the truth about who they are as creatures made in the image and likeness of a loving God.
Only in a Catholic school can their faith in God and their love for Jesus, Mary and the saints be nourished, practiced and indeed celebrated in a grace-filled community.
Only in a Catholic school can we even dare to talk about "Truth," which is not a set of formulas, treatises or propositions, but a person — the Second Person of the Trinity and the Son of God, Jesus Christ Himself.
These hallmarks of a Catholic education may have been abundant and widely present back when many of us more "seasoned citizens" grew up, but they certainly cannot be taken for granted in today's educational arena. Our Catholic schools still deliver on the promises of faith, hope and love for this generation and generations to come.
The moral need in our society is great — but by supporting the tax credit for Catholic schools you can help shape the future by supporting quality education today. Today's children really are tomorrow's leaders, and Catholic schools are shaping our young people to be conscientious citizens who are concerned for their neighbors and committed to serve.
The financial need is great, too. Many Catholics are surprised to learn that 44 percent of the nearly 13,000 K-12 students in Diocese of Phoenix Catholic schools qualified for and received financial aid this year from Catholic Education Arizona, the state's largest provider of K-12 private school tuition.
Which brings us back to our gift suggestion for all tax-paying Catholics to seriously consider.
It is not easy to afford a Catholic education these days for a lot of reasons. The economy is challenging, the schools are now almost entirely lay-led which means the need to pay suitable lay-person salaries, and of course there is not government funding to pay for private schools.
But thankfully the State of Arizona has made a wise decision in this regard by allowing individual taxpayers like you and me to redirect up to 100 percent of our state tax dollars (up to $2,062 for married couples and $1,031 for singles) to support lower-income families desiring to send their children to Catholic schools.
Taking advantage of the credit is like turning lemons — your tax dollars — into lemonade, and then pouring a tall cool glass for a thirsty young boy or girl and his or her family. (Yes, I know we're talking about Christmas, but this is Arizona!)
So this Christmas let's not get caught up in the materialism and consumerism that often inundates our consciousness. Instead, let's find meaningful ways to help our neighbor and our community.
Tax credits for Catholic education are that gift worth giving. And receiving.
As a previous donor to CEA, and a person devoted to the Catholic formation of our youth I am having a serious conflict of conscience in deciding to donate or not this year as I have significant issues with reports that Diocesan schools of Phoenix are adopting the common core. I am seriously considering withholding donation until this detrimental decision is reversed.
Are we (Diocese of Phx.) adopting "Common Core"? If true, I didn't know that.
Are we (Diocese of Phx.) adopting "Common Core"? If true, I didn't know that.
We should give to our Church. We should give to Catholic education because it is good. There is something wrong about giving to Catholic charities, Catholic schools, and to our Church instituted by Christ only because of a 'year end tax credit'. Our federal and state governments are not doing the Catholic Church any favors, and we should not compliment them for any crumbs they toss us. Catholics should donate and give what we can and what the Holy Ghost leads.

Track 13: "Stole My Heart"
Sounds Like: Dr. Luke, and specifically, Taio Cruz's "Dynamite," whose chorus is melodically replicated fairly explicitly by "Stole My Heart," though with enough rhythmic and lyrical differentiation that it doesn't feel like a direct rip-off. The lyrics are about 1D falling in love at first sight—well, almost first sight, as the group specifies "Took a minute, girl, to steal my heart tonight."
Pros: The "eh-eh-eh-eh" echo after the chorus is a very nice touch, and the entire thing has a kind of liveliness to it missing from a lot of the second half of the album, and a feeling of being emotionally overwhelmed that's highly appropriate for the song's content. The part after the bridge where the song whirs to a stop before exploding into the final chorus is also very nice. Even if the whole thing is second-hand Lukasz, Jamie Scott, Brian Rawling and Paul Meehan do their pop overlord proud with their effort here.
Cons: The "Dynamite" similarities might put off those who still haven't gotten over just how overplayed that song was a couple years back. And not a particularly large greivance, but with the album's preponderance of song titles lifted from other places, they may as well have titled this one after the oft-repeated refrain of "Waiting for a Girl Like You." Foreigner could've appreciated the shout-out.
Mom-Approved Moment: "There is no other place that I would rather be / Than right here with you tonight"
Adult Content?: "Your friends / They look good but you look better." Uh-oh. This is always how the awkward three-way conversation gets started.
