SRS Uses SHARC for SRS Circle Surround® II Technology for Home Theater, PCs, Cars, Wireless Streaming |
It used to be that surround-sound audio experiences were confined to movie theater settings. Then along came multi-channel encode/decode systems, which surrounded us with theater-quality sound in our own homes and tangled us in an array of wires, speakers, and amplifiers. With Circle Surround (CS) II encode/decode technology from SRS Labs, full multi-channel surround sound can be produced from media formats and A/V setups that previously could only deliver simple right/left stereo sound, without the need to purchase additional speakers/wires.
Based in Santa Ana, California, SRS develops and licenses a wide range of technology solutions for audio, voice, surround sound, and semiconductor applications. More than 500 million products have been shipped from the more than 200 licensees of SRS' technologies, including companies with household names in both electronics and software markets. The company's CS II is quickly becoming the standard for the creation, production, and broadcast of up to 6.1 discrete channels of surround sound over traditional two-channel distribution systems, including television commercials, sports broadcasting, network shows, cable and satellite transmissions, and standard music CDs.
CS decoding supports numerous product applications, including home theater, personal computers, automobile stereos, and wireless streaming, allowing people to take advantage of their multiple speaker system, including older VHS tapes, FM radio broadcasts, stereo music CDs, and computer games. To that end, SRS has partnered with leading analog and digital semiconductor companies and software providers to make the technology readily available for any product manufacturer. And, according to SRS' executive vice president (EVP) of technology and business development, Alan Kraemer, SHARC processors from Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) are the ideal platform for CS II algorithms in both the pro audio and home entertainment markets alike.
How It Works
CS II encoding is a powerful and versatile tool for broadcasters and content providers who want to offer their audiences surround sound without making a substantial change to their infrastructure or distribution method. SRS tools for audio professionals include analog and digital processors, and plug-ins for widely used software platforms. Audio professionals can produce multi-channel audio content in CS II for distribution or storage over a standard two-channel medium such as broadcast television, radio, or regular CDs. It is also backward compatible with all playback environments, including mono, stereo, and other matrix decoders, such as Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Pro Logic II surround systems. This flexibility assures broadcasters that their audience will receive the best sounding experience possible, subject only to the limitations of the consumer's particular decoder.
CS II Algorithms Explained
The encode algorithm works as follows. Input summing amplifiers A1 and A4 combine the main left and right signals with the center input and the low frequency effects (LFE) input (which accommodates very loud low frequency effects sounds, such as explosions). The output of the two amplifiers, which now contains the left, right, center, and LFE information, is then applied to constant phase filter banks F1 and F4 and passed to output summing amplifiers A5 and A6. Next, summing amplifiers A2 and A3 combine the surround back input with the surround left and right inputs. The output of these amplifiers is then fed to constant phase networks F2 and F3 to encode the surrounds in quadrature with the main channels (required to prevent signal cancellation).
The surround signals are then mixed antiphasically into the left/right output. In order to distinguish the left and right surround encoding, the left/right balance of the surround material is varied dynamically based on the predominance of the signal. A "surround positional bias generator" analyzes the ratio of the left and right surround signal level to produce steering signals. The steering signals are then applied to multipliers M1 and M2, which modulate the level of the surround mix into the opposing left or right output.
The CS II decoder makes use of this level imbalance in the out-of-phase surround material to "steer" the surround information left or right. Dual-band steering is utilized in the decoder to stabilize the surround steering and to minimize "pumping" effects between the surrounds. The CS II decoder algorithm also includes patented post-processing techniques that enhance the audio experience (such as bass performance) and address problems (such as dialog clarity).
Hardware manufacturers and software providers can license the CS II decoder to develop products that deliver up to 6.1 channels of surround sound from any audio material, including CS II-encoded content or mono, stereo, and other matrix surround formats. The two core versions available for license are: CS II for home theater, PCs, and wireless products; and CS Automotive, which mitigates the audio challenges that are unique to the automotive environment, including the placement of front speakers low in the door panels and rear speakers mounted facing away from listeners.
Both CS II solutions include two SRS patented post-processing techniques that enhance the surround sound experience: SRS Dialog Clarity, which improves the intelligibility of dialog, as it can often be difficult to hear it clearly over explosions, music soundtracks, and other sounds; and SRS TruBass, which works with any size speaker (without the need for a subwoofer), including headphones and earbuds, enabling listeners to perceive a heightened sensation of lower bass tones beyond the natural low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
SHARC Helps SRS "Multiply" Channels
Needless to say, the CS II algorithms are complex and require a processor that can handle sophisticated mathematical equations. "We needed an efficient signal processor that could implement audio filters and handle a lot of multiplication and division," says Kraemer. "ADI's 32-bit floating-point SHARC processor was an obvious choice. It's fast and efficient. A less efficient processor would get bogged down with the math. With SHARC, it was easy for us to port our patented audio algorithms. Plus we also found we could easily press the SHARC processor into service for general-purpose microprocessor functions, which it can handle in its spare time."
ADI's 32-bit floating-point SHARC processors are based on a Super Harvard architecture that balances exceptional core and memory performance with outstanding I/O throughput capabilities. In addition to satisfying the demands of the most computationally intensive, real-time signal-processing applications, SHARC processors integrate large memory arrays and application-specific peripherals designed to simplify product development and reduce time to market. The third-generation of SHARC processors, which includes SHARC ADSP-2126x and ADSP-2136x processors and the SHARC Melody, and Melody 32 platforms, offer increased performance, audio-centric peripherals, and new memory configurations that can support the latest industry-standard audio and surround-sound decoders and post-processing algorithms (which come with the processors on a factory programmed ROM).
The Right Audio Features
The SHARC processor's audio-specific peripherals, broadly described as the Digital Audio Interface (DAI), are functional blocks that may be connected to each other or to external pins via the signal routing unit (SRU). Peripherals connected through the SRU include as many as six high-performance, synchronous serial ports, SPI ports, an input data port (IDP), precision clock generators, timers, and others. The combination of the serial ports and IDP means that SHARC processors can support up to 20 stereo I2 channels, providing up to 40 channels of audio (which is important as the number of speakers and input sources is increasing in audio applications).
Additional value-added peripherals include an S/PDIF transmitter/receiver, 8-channel asynchronous sample rate converter, and hardware digital transmission content protection (DTCP) encryption/decryption block. Audio-specific peripherals such as these allow manufacturers to leverage a single hardware design for multiple products with various I/O requirements. "Architecturally, SHARC processors had all of the audio features we needed," says Kraemer. "SHARC processors support all of the standard audio in/out interfaces as well as easy analog-to-digital, digital-to-analog conversion."
VisualAudio is the new graphical audio system design and development environment that supports third-generation SHARC processors. It works as a plug-in for ADI's VisualDSP++ integrated development and debug environment, and streamlines the development of SHARC-based audio systems. System developers can reduce time-to-market, development risk, and development cost. Says Kraemer (who, as previously stated, is the EVP of technology and business development at SRS), "The SHARC platform is so easy to work with and coding is such a pleasure that I roll up my own sleeves and do some of it myself."
One of the most important reasons SRS chose ADI's SHARC processor, says Kraemer, is that it's the platform their customers want. And we're talking about leading manufacturers of professional and consumer audio equipment, such as Marantz, Kenwood, Theta Digital, and Accuphase. So whether you are a consumer who wants to hear full-bandwidth surround sound over your Windows Media Player or an audio professional looking for the most sophisticated digital surround sound broadcast encoder, SRS and ADI can provide the solution. Together, ADI's SHARC processors and CS II technology from SRS enable powerful hardware and software products that deliver multichannel surround sound over existing stereo carriers.

Steam heat controls: here we provide a photo guide to all types of controls found on residential & light commercial steam heating systems. We tell you what each control does, where it is located, what it looks like, and we link to in-depth information about setting controls or diagnosing & repairing problems with steam heat controls. This article series provides an illustrated inspection and repair guide to Steam Heating Systems. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2013 InspectAPedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Steam Heating Systems Guide: Controls Found on Residential Steam Heating SystemsAll of the steam heating system controls described in our introduction are illustrated below and described in greater detail in individual articles found in this steam heat series. If you don't know what kind of heat your building uses, we explain how to figure out the answer at HEATING SYSTEM TYPES. If your heating system is not working properly, see NO HEAT - BOILER. Sketch of a one-pipe typical steam heating system (left) is provided courtesy of Carson Dunlop Associates. In a one pipe system each radiator is served by a single pipe: steam rises into the radiator and condensate (water) returns from the radiator through the same pipe loop, as you can see at left. A two-pipe steam heating system is similar but provides a separate loop of piping that collects condensate and returns it from the radiator to the boiler. List & Photographs of All Controls found on Steam Heating SystemsIf your heating system looks like a heating boiler but your heating radiators have valves which hiss and let air escape as heat is coming on your heat is probably being delivered in pipes which circulate steam from the steam boiler up through radiators in the occupied space. Although both hot water - hydronic heating systems (discussed at BOILERS, HEATING) and steam boilers (discussed here at STEAM HEATING SYSTEMS) use a boiler that heats water, the heat distribution method and most of the heating boiler controls are different between these two systems. Both steam boilers and hot water boilers may share certain controls that monitor and manage the heating source such as an oil burner or gas burner. Heater burner controls make sure that there is a safe proper combustion flame, control draft, and protect against flue gas spillage. Examples include the CAD CELL RELAY SWITCH (oil burners) or Spill Switches (gas burners). Steam Boiler pressure controls:
Five Common Safety Devices on a Steam Heating Boiler
Function of the Hartford Loop safety piping arrangement on steam boilersInvented by the Hartford (CT) insurance company in response to an unacceptable rate of steam boiler damage, loss, and even explosions, the Hartford Loop is a piping arrangement at the steam boiler condensate return line that allows condensate to re-enter the boiler but prevents complete loss of steam boiler water should a leak develop elsewhere in the condensate return line. The risk of steam condensate return water leaks was and can remain significant because of the corrosive acids that form in steam and other heating boilers and because not coincidentally, the more likely place where such leaks would develop is in the last and lowest run of the condensate return line along or close to the floor approaching the steam boiler. See illustrations of the Hartford Loop piping at CONDENSATE RETURN PIPES, PUMPS, STEAM. The Hartford Loop is also discussed at STEAM HEAT DEFECTS LIST and at STEAM TRAPS Photo Guide to the Steam Boiler Sight GlassPhoto Guide to the Steam Boiler Pressure Control Safety SwitchPhoto Guide to Steam Boiler Low Water Cutoff Valves
Photo Guide to Steam Boiler Automatic Water FeedersAbove are photographs of a couple of different but still modern automatic water feeder valves on a steam boiler.
Identification & Repair of Relief Valves on Steam BoilersLow pressure steam boilers still require a pressure/temperature safety relief valve. A pressure relief valve is a spring-loaded device that will open to spill excess pressure (and temperature) in the form of water, steam, or a mix of the two, at a pre-determined pressure in order to protect the heating appliance from damage, or worse, a dangerous BLEVE explosion. (BLEVE EXPLOSIONS) However the valve operates at different temperatures and pressures than found on a hydronic (hot water heating) boiler. Residential steam boilers typically operate at below 1 psi, and on residential steam systems the pressure/relief valve is usually set to open at 15 psi. If your boiler pressure/relief valve is leaking see RELIEF VALVE LEAK for the steps in problem diagnosis & repair. Our steam boiler TP relief valve photo at above left shows typical operating parameters for these safety controls. This particular valve, a Watts No. 315-M1 is a 3/4-inch diameter valve set to open at 15 PSIG and has an energy release rate of 375 LBS/Hr. The steam heating boiler TP valve shown at above right is leaking and lacks its discharge tube - this is an unsafe installation. Steam boiler TP relief valve photo contributions needed - .

... Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Steam Heating Boiler Controls: installation, diagnosis, repairQuestion: is replacing the steam boiler sight glass difficult?Is replacing the sight glass on a Weil McClain steam boiler difficult? - Carl 4/17/11 Reply:It's not mechanically difficult to replace the steam boiler sight glass, but you have to shut down power to the boiler, let it cool down, and drain down the water level in the boiler low enough to be able to disassemble the fittings and install the new glass. I should add that on some steam boiler sight glass setups the shutoff valves are working and you might be able to just shut off water there provided the boiler's not too hot to work on. The ease of slipping in the new sight glass depends on its fittings and their condition. Question: proper setting for a Honeywell PA-404-A 1099 Presstrol on a steam boilerDOEs ANYONE KNOW THE PROPER SETTING FOR A HONEYWELL PA-404-A 1009 PRESTROL CONTROL FOR A WEIL-MCLANE STEAM BOILER - Rick 9/11/11 Reply:Rick the exact pressure needed varies by installation but in a low pressure residential steam system the pressure range is usually between 0.2 and 0.4 psi. Question: steam pipe configuration question at the boilerwhat's the term they call the 2 steam pipes that form an H above a steam boiler. in other words the pipes from both sides of the burner connected together?THANKS,Walter - 9/25/11 Reply: steam pipe headerWalter: sorry we couldn't give an instant reply; sometimes the volume of reader questions is considerable and takes some time to get thorough. Question: steam boiler parts identificationWow, what a great web site. I am trying to identify a vessel on the side of an old National steam boiler/furnace. It is about 12-18" tall, about 8" diameter and is attached to a manifold in the side that is about 12" off the floor. It is heavily rusted. The boiler is an old coal fired converted to oil. Can I send you photos? Thanks, Stephen email@example.com or strentsch 10/4/11 Reply:sure Mr. Strentsch, Question: where do I add water to my furnaceNeed to know where I add water to my furnace. The low water indicator is on. Not sure where to look. And not sure if I have an automatic water feeder. Thank you LJV 109/23/11 Reply:LJV Question: My steam boiler seems to be taking more water than usualI blow the system down regularly and then make up the water in the sight glass. However I seem to be using significantly more water then years past whereas I'd top the sight glass every couple of weeks in the past compared to every other day now. What do you think the problem is? - Tom C 10.27.11 Reply:Tom C: a common reason for increased water consumption in a steam heating system is one or more radiator steam vents that are not closing properly. Check also for a leak in the condensate return line. Question: I need to prepare for a steam boiler license and want book recommendationsI'm happy to have found this website. I'm getting back into heating and cooling and need to prepare for higher license. Question: Is there a DVD collection you recommended as an additional studying tool? I see that Harold J. Frost, Frederick M. Steingress, Daryl R. Walker's collection is close to 600.00 which is very steep for my pocket. Would you happen to know of a website or cheap place I can buy such DVD or a CD? If not these guys than another author is ok. Thanks for the feedback. Kym 11/23/11 Reply:Kym if you are looking specifically for information on steam heating I'd pick up any of Dan Holihan's books on steam heat. He's the best. Question:The HomeServ tech just left after installing a new auto water feeder, and the PSI gauge on my steam heater is off the chart, over 30 PSI. I shut it down and called HomeServ and they said leave it on and they'll come in the morning. How do I lower the PSI myself so I can leave it on tonight and my little kids (two with strep) don't freeze? Thanks! 2/22/2012 Reply:Watch out: If the PSI gauge is showing abnormal pressure and the gauge itself is working properly the system is unsafe and should be shut down. Call someone else and fire that tech - from your description the system sounds unsafe Question: water drips out of the air valve at the bottom of the tankI HAVE AN OIL BURNER HOT WATER SYSTEM MY EXPANSION IS DRIPPING WATER OUT THE AIR VALVE STEM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK SHOULD I REPAIR OR REPLACE - Mike S 10/12/12 Reply:Mike, the air valve stem is replaceable, I would tr that first. Check also for abnormal system press ( an unsafe condition) Question: what are those red knobs above and below the sight glass on my steam boiler and which way do I turn themWhat are the red knobs above and below the sight glass for and how should they be turned? - Anon 10/15/12 Reply:The red control valves at the top and bottom of the steam boiler sight glass are water shutoff controls used to isolate the sight glass from the boiler to permit glass replacement should it break. Closing both valves also permits emergency, temporary heating system use if the glass is broken, though of course you no longer know the boiler water level. Question: radiator banging noise repair procedureI have a one pipe steam system. My dining room radiator air vent was just replaced because the old one was leaking profusely (damaged my floors). The porch radiator air vent was also replaced because of too much steam condensation in the room, but now the open/close valve is leaking at the base. The radiator upstairs in middle bedroom is banging and clanking. The pipe that runs along the basement ceiling (finished basement) also bangs when the heat is coming on. My plumber cannot really give me an answer. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks p Rita 11/21/12 Reply:Rita, Question: relief valve is leakingcleaned on a vav system is leaking dose the cilanod valve need to be replaced - Anon 11/23/12Reply:See RELIEF VALVE LEAKS for procedures to diagnose and fix leaky TP relief valves. Question: too-high steam pressure traced to a blocked sensor on steam pressure controlPressure on gas steam boiler was rising far too high, so high that the pressure relief valve released twice when it hit 15 psi (as it was supposed to do). Good buddy who really knows his stuff checked everything from pressure valve to pressuretrol. Nothing . He then checked "pigtail" and found blockage .Problem solved!! - Ken 11/24/12 Reply:Thanks for this note it may help other readers Question: trouble controlling level of steam heat - can I close off the radiatorMy building uses steam heaters. I have no control over the heat in my unit because the thermostat is controlled by my landlord/owner who lives above me. However I have a small 1 bedroom with two heating units so even with all of the windows open, it can still get very hot. Is it okay for me to completely close the "open/close" black knob valves on my units or will that cause problems for the whole system? My landlord had previously told me not to touch the valves... Emily 12/10/12 Reply:Yes if the radiator control knob is not jammed or frozen you can try closing it partly or fully; radiator control knobs are intended to be a homeowner-resident-operator control. But if the knob is not easy to turn, don't force it as you might end up with a leak. Question: hissing boilerI have 2 yr. Boiler. It hisses like venting steam off and on loudly. Seems like when heat comes on venting starts until off. -Mr. Ed 12/28/12 Reply:Steam boilers include steam valves that hiss; we need more details. Question: leaky relief valveI am having a pressure problem and it looks like one of my relief valve is leaking or letting the pressure out would this keep my boiler from running. It seems to be shutting off and I need to set the pressure all the time. is it as simple as changing the valve and resetting the Pressure? Rick 1/3/2013 Reply:See RELIEF VALVE LEAKS for procedures to diagnose and fix leaky TP relief valves. Question: 28 psi and water coming out of my return on my American Standard boilerII have a pressure of 28 psi and water is coming out of my return how can i lower the water pressure from my steam American standard boiler - Ronald 1/13/2013 Reply: 28 psi on residential steam heat is very unusual, probably unsafe - shut the system offRonald, Watch out: If your heater is a residential steam heating system it is operating at an abnormally high temperture and is unsafe. Turn the system off immediately and call your heating service company. If your heater were a residential hot water heating boiler (hydronic heat) its pressure might be close to the upper end of normal operating pressure - and the leak at the valve could be due to a valve problem or to any of quite a few other causes. See RELIEF VALVE LEAKS for procedures to diagnose and fix leaky TP relief valves. See the links just below for information on how the steam heating system pressure is controlled and set. Question: the gray box on my steam boiler is set under 2 psi but the boiler pressure is 7-8 psi. Is this normal and safe?the gray box on my steam boiler is set low (less than 2psi) but the glass pressure gauge is reading 7 or8 at times. Is this normal /safe? - Brian 11/21/12 Reply:Brian, We discuss how to set heating system pressures for both hydronic boilers and steam boilers over at PRESSURE & TEMPERATURE SETTINGS, CONTROLS Also see RELIEF VALVES - STEAM TP VALVES. Reader follow-up: changing out the steam pressure control valve did the trickgot the tech. he took off the gray box on my newly installed williamson boiler (2 weeks ago) and replaced it with the one from my older rotted out 12 year old burnham! both gray boxes are honeywell and seem to be identical. works ok now. go figure!

Floppy Dogs
By Rip from Manchester , 06 Dec 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
[Highly rated reviewer]
If all the dogs in the Disney film about dalmations, had been captured by Cruella De Ville, and made into a fur coat, there would still not be as many dead dogs around as there are in this movie.
This is a movie which captures and keeps your interest, as it traces back the lives of people involved in a road accident.
Each tale is a good story, and the way in which their lives cross over is skillful, thoughtful, and cleverly done.
Each of the stories are good enough to be a movie in their own right.
The only reason I gave ths movie a 4 instead of a 5 is well, to be honest, I'm a little squeamish.- Was this review helpful to you?

(273)Life's Not Easy! especially for some dogs
By sand60 (16 reviews) from Falkirk , 10 Oct 2013Felt for all the characters. The were bad but had something likable or sad about them. I could not look at the dog fighting bits. I hope no dogs were injured in the making of this film.- Was this review helpful to you?

Strong stuff
By RJNeb2 (1016 reviews) from London , 07 Oct 2013A blast of fresh cinematic air from an energized Mexican film industry starts off rather like a bleaker version of Quentin Tarantino's 'Pulp Fiction'. But as it progresses (and at two and a half hours there's probably a little too much of that), it finds its own voice and paints a sobering depiction of a world of pain for man, enlivened only occasionally by his love for dogs. Story strand one deals with two young lovers getting involved in dogfighting, the second story is about a model who loses her pet down a hole in her floor and the final tale is about a hitman's lonely road to redemption. Vigorous and compelling, its a superb calling card for its talented director.- Was this review helpful to you?

I loved it.
By Gunslinger77 (1 review) , 12 May 2013I saw this movie years ago, and it impacted me so much I wanted to see it again, now with my husband. He was very much impressed and I am happy I rented it. Gael Garcia is such a talented actor!. This movie is heartbreaking and at the same time opens your eyes to other's realities and lives. Totally recommended.- Was this review helpful to you?

Something different
By Grenville (41 reviews) , 10 May 2013There is a goulish fascination about this film, with a strong theme of retribution running through it. I'm not sure any of the characters deserve our sympathy but the film's strength is to - almost - make us feel sorry for them by its end. It's not for the faint-hearted, however.- Was this review helpful to you?

Great idea, but plot failure.
By calnfa (44 reviews) from cheltenham , 16 Mar 2013The first part of this film was great, the middle a bit poor, and the last bit good again, as ikt tries to combine all the stories that converge in one incident ( which it fails to do in the last section). Brutal dog fighting scenes, so don't watch if this will upset you! But overall a good enough film.- Was this review helpful to you?

- With Mayo Clinic health education outreach coordinator
Angela Lunde
read biographyclose windowBiography of
Angela Lunde
Angela LundeAngela Lunde is a dementia education specialist in the education core of Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Abigail Van Buren Alzheimer's Disease Research Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The transfer of information about dementias, as well as understanding the need for participation in clinical trials, is an essential component of the education core.
Angela is a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and co-chair of the annual Minnesota Dementia Conference. She is a member of the Dementia Behavior Assessment and Response Team (D-BART), a multidisciplinary outreach service assisting professional and family caregivers in understanding and managing difficult behaviors often present in dementia. She facilitates several support groups, including Memory Club, an early-stage education and support series, and more recently, helped to develop and now deliver Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT), a 10-day cognitive rehab and wellness program for people with mild cognitive impairment.
Angela takes a personal interest in understanding the complex changes that take place within relationships and among families when dementia is present. She is particularly interested in providing innovative and accessible ways for people with dementia and their families to receive information and participate in valuable programs that promote well-being.
"Amid a devastating disease, there are tools, therapies, programs and ways to cope, and it is vital that families are connected to these resources," she says.

Alzheimer's, dementia and MCI overlap, but have different meanings
By Angela Lunde
29 comments posted
From time to time it's good to try and sort out the confusion among the terms mild cognitive impairment (MCI), dementia and Alzheimer's.
Cathy and several others asked about this in recent postings. Be assured that it's perfectly understandable if you're confused. The terms are often used interchangeably and can have varying interpretations even by healthcare professionals. Yet, their meanings are distinctly different. Let me attempt to clarify.
As we age, each of us has some changes in our thinking and memory, sometimes coined "senior moments." You may forget a person's name or a word, but recall it later in the day. You might misplace your glasses, keys, or wallet occasionally. Or maybe you find that you need to make lists more often to remember appointments or tasks. These changes in memory are generally minor and don't disrupt your ability to work, live independently, maintain normal activities and a social life.
MCI is used when cognitive changes (generally memory) are more frequent or exceed what's expected for an individual at a particular age. It can be thought of as a stage between normal forgetfulness due to age and the development of dementia.
In MCI, memory problems may be minimal to mild, and hardly noticeable to the individual. Writing reminders and practicing specific strategies can help a person compensate for these mild changes.
Symptoms of MCI can include:
- Difficulty performing more than one task at a time
- Difficulty solving complex problems or making decisions
- Forgetting recent events or conversations
- Taking longer to perform more difficult mental activities
Maybe most important is that a diagnosis of MCI means you're able to perform your usual daily activities with minimal change and little difficulty. When this is no longer the case, dementia may be the appropriate term to describe the condition.
Dementia isn't a specific disease. Instead, it describes a group of symptoms affecting intellectual and social abilities severe enough to interfere with daily functioning.
Memory loss generally occurs in dementia, but memory loss alone doesn't mean dementia. Dementia implies there are problems with other brain functions as well, and that more than one dementia symptom is present.
Symptoms of dementia can include:
- Memory loss
- Language problems
- Inability to learn or remember new information
- Difficulty with planning and organizing
- Difficulty with coordination and motor functions
- Personality changes
- Inability to reason
- Changes in behavior
- Apathy or loss of interest in activities
- Paranoia
Dementia symptoms can be due to many things such as an underactive thyroid, vitamin deficiency, brain tumors and depression. Even certain medications can cause dementia symptoms. However, if during a medical evaluation these reversible causes of dementia are ruled out, the probable cause of dementia symptoms may be due to Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's causes brain changes that gradually get worse. Two abnormal structures called plaques and tangles are prime suspects in damaging and killing nerve cells, causing a steady decline in memory and mental function.
In older folks, Alzheimer's is the most common cause of progressive dementia symptoms. Symptoms are similar to the dementia symptoms listed above, which is why the terms are often used interchangeably. However, dementia is simply a set of symptoms, whereas Alzheimer's describes what is causing the symptoms.
Another reason it gets confusing is because the lines between normal age-related memory loss and mild cognitive impairment are blurred and overlap, as are the lines between MCI and early stage dementia caused by Alzheimer's.
But unlike Alzheimer's — where cognitive abilities gradually decline — persons with MCI may remain stable for years. And while not all persons with MCI go on to develop Alzheimer's, almost all cases of Alzheimer's start with MCI.
It's important to note that persons with MCI do have an increased risk of going on to develop Alzheimer's disease (or another form of progressive dementia).
However, science isn't able to predict whether someone with MCI will progress, remain stable or improve. Current research is focusing on models to predict who will get Alzheimer's and who won't, and on determining which folks with MCI will go on to develop Alzheimer's.
In the support groups here at Mayo Clinic, we often say to caregivers and persons with MCI or early stage dementia: Hope for the best but plan for the worst.
My message to you is to prepare for the possibility that things will progress — educate yourself, put plans and wishes in order, remain active and engaged, and get support. The Alzheimer's Association has a great booklet called "Living Well with MCI or Early Dementia."
You can find it at: www.alz.org/mnnd/documents/Alz_LIVING_WELL_Workbook_2011_web.pdf
And remember, planning for the future is not the same as living in the future. Your life is today — the present moment is all any of us have for certain.

My family history is long on dememntias. PATERNAL: Grandfather & Aunt, Alzheimers, Cousin Parkinson's w/dementia. MATERNAL: Grandmother, Parkinson's, 2 great Aunts dementia, Mom, now showing dementia symptoms. At 59, I have been diagnosed with MCI, early stages, and have been given great hope of holding off further decline for years, due to the new meds on market. I have been encouraged to get more aerobics exercise, keep my brain active by playing cards, board & active games, crossword puzzles, Soduko, etc. Get online to Cognitive Building sites; I have been encouraged to stay socially active, responsible for helping others as well as myself, read and continue learning new skills. Caring for my father-in-law for 6 yrs w/Alzheimer's gave me great insite into learning to love the person he had become, getting past the anger and fear of losing who he had been. Spiritual Faith is the greatest strength I have found! Keeping family and friends close for a tight network of those you love and whom love you is utmost. Educate yourself on your diagnosis and accept the desease, rather than fighting it. Now I can get on with living every day to the fullest and never looking back with regret at what I didn't accomplish. I am a photographer and plan on publishing the book I have had in my mind for years. It will include soothing photos, words of encouragement and scriptures that give hope where dreams have been dashed by diagnoses. When I lose my mind, maybe it will give me

The screening test have come along way in the last 2 years. TheBCAT is much more sensitive for MCI/Dementia than is the outdated MMSE. You don't have to be a PHD or Psy.D to use this free tool either. It takes 15 minutes and has an online scoring program. I suggest you take a look at thebcat.com I also worry about the overuse of the term "sundowning" and how little this term contributes to actually solving a behavior problem. www.dementiabehavior.com

The environmental cause factor in Alzeimer's Disease: Could living in a house previously owned by a bird collector, many cats and dogs be part of such factor even though they had gutted the house before moving in. The Wife died of brain cancer a couple of years ago and now the husband has alzeimer's disease. The sister is blaming the house being the cause of brain diseases. Please reply. Thanks

While I very much appreciate anyone that differentiates the differences in dementia, this blog did not go far enough into describing the DIFFERENT KINDS OF DEMENTIA! As others have posted, it is critical to have the right diagnosis. My Dad had Lewy Body Dementia -- and some treatments for Alzheimers could cause additional problems for LBD. If you or your loved one has symptoms of dementia, please check out info on LBD and other types of dementia. They should not all be treated the same. http://www.lbda.org/content/10-things-you-sho

I just entered my husband of 56 years into a memory care facility for the 2nd time in 6 weeks. We had the trauma of taking him there, and 2 weeks later he developed pneumonia and spent 10 days in the hospital. Then back to the facility. I am so depressed today, I cannot function, I can see him sitting there so unhappy. He thought we were going home from the hospital. Sad, sad, sad. I have developed health problems from caring for him for 4 years, and have no choice, besides that, where will all the money come from? I will be broke in 3 years. I pray daily for devine intervention. Prayer is all we have as caregivers.

Question? I am wondering if Aphasia falls into the early warning signs of Alzheimer's. My father has had 1.5 years of lose of his words. This is progressing to lose of understanding. The doctors still have not given a diagnosis of Alzheimer's but we are all fearing the worst. He also is on dialysis. I wish I knew what path we are on?

To Vicki, My heart goes out to you in your situation. It is very hard being a caregiver and watching your family member have such difficulty. A special nurse explained to me when I was caring for my mom with some type of Dementia that I was mourning and rightfully so. This is because the person that you once knew is no more that same person. Your husband is not the person he once was because of his disease. So you are rightfully mourning the husband you once had, the person he was. As far as your feeling guilty for not caring for him at home, you need to look at what is best for his care. If you continued to keep him at home with your physical situation, would he be cared for as well as where he is now? Yes, you would love him more than the ones who care for him now. But with your limitations now because of your health issues, who would be benefiting from your care for him at home? Probably neither of you. Just continue to show him the love you do when you can go to visit him. Your quality visits are more important to him than your trying to physically care for him 24/7. And it's okay to mourn. It's part of dealing with it. But please don't mourn because you can't do enough for him. You are doing all you can. That's what is needed.

Vicky I feel not only for you but WITH you. My darling wonderful husband has (Dementia?) diagnosed at timers as Alzheimer Disease. I too eventually had to place him in a care centre as I could no longer care for him myself as my physical strength would not allow. I visited him every day for 4 years and changed his care centre 4 times until I found where there was real care and kindness. Now I hgave had a motor accident and major surgery and see him only twice a week. This is the "living death". We MUST look aftern ourselves I know. I deprive myself of all sorts of activities as I am so heartsore that he cannot join my in anything. Things do not improve I am afraiod. It is the 'acceptance' of the situtasion that I cannot come to terms with and find we need friends who are in the dsame position as ourselves as others do not have the understanding needed to be companionable. That is why it is important to belong to a Society dealing with care-giving. Just carry on loving as before and te;ll them how much they mean to us. Be ever cheerful in front of them and pay kibnd attention to all they try to say and do. What elese? Go well Vicky, and others like you - there is nothing wrong with feeling guilty - but do try and put it behind you while you are doing all you can for your loved one. Pat. G. Cape Town South Africa

This was a great article. I just wanted to add a little insight to the MCI. I have been a caregiver for my Mom since 2/10. When my Dad was still alive, we knew something was not right with Mom. She exhibited some very strange behaviors, did not want to talk much, eating habits changed, and gradually started to not be able to handle the finances which she always had. My Dad took her in to get checked out after prodding from me and she was instantly diagnosed with Alzheimer's. After researching her symptoms on my own, I was not happy with the diagnosis, as she knew everything that was going on (in the present). It just took her awhile to process it. I spoke with a friend who is an Administrator at a facility and she told me where to take Mom to get another opinion. I am extremely grateful to her as Mom actually has Frontal Lobe Dementia, not Alzheimer's. It is very important to have the correct diagnosis so we treat our loved ones in the right way. See Mom does not dwell on the past, she does know what is going on now. Her language is slipping alot (aphasia), even though I have her in speech therapy once a week. Eventually, as time goes on her disease will look more and more like Alzheimer's, but for now, I at least know what I can expect from her FTD. Love and prayers to all of you caregivers!

Since Alzheimer's is such a painful condition,one should be open to non-conventional methods too of handling it.I specifically refer to spiritual resources.My Nichiren Buddhist spirituality is a valuable resource that motivates me to deal with the possibility of such an illness.Medical professionals must make the effort to remain open about such resources-even though they may strike them as 'unscientific.The cost borne by both the sufferers and his family members is too intense.They need whatever help they can

Dear colleague caregivers Angela you gave a great description of our dilemma. The medical continuum is from MCI to (Presumed) Alzheimer. But the bottom line is caregivers are dealing with a variety of symptoms that do not fit nicely into these diagnoses. The symptoms vary from person to person. My husband has had many doctors but only one (1) who was wise and understood and ordered the proper medications after observing him for 7 days in an inpatient hospice unit. The doctor ordered the medication (tools) to manage my husband at home. Ex of his behavior was just a few hours ago. At 3 AM he is up and wanting me to get up. I tried to suggest he return to bed. The agitation was escalating: he was walking in the hall and pounding his cane. I did get up and offered him a liquid dose of thorazine and within in a half hour he is back to baseline and his usual kind self: apologizing for his disruptive behavior and thanking me for helping him. Of course he is now asleep and I am sharing with you! Marie

I am constantly amazed at what my mate is able to do and understand as he has been diagnosed and is being treated for alzhiemers ( aricept 23) in my research I am finding he is falling more in the category of Lewy body. Is the Aricept the right meds for him????. How do we know???? Also a diagnosis of possible hydrosepholis is susepected. How do we know? It is all so confusing. Help if any one knows. Are there tests for each? Or is everything being lumped,into alzhimers?

rkbook_2011_web.pdf To Lydia, It takes a lot of paper! Angela has this book listed at the end of this blog. And to BONNIE, not to say you have problems, but please do not "ignore" and guess at what it is, find a reliable doctor, many things can cause these symptoms..including thyroid, Please educate yourself, your future depends on it. If you had a lump in your breast... would you decrease your sugar, I don't understand why people usually think it annot happen to them. Do yourself a favor. I know Angela, I said I was done blogging, I cannot help it, people need guidence! - cathy

My husband who is 76 was diagnosed a over a year ago with Alz/Dementia. Looking back he starting showing signs in 2005; which now I know were MCI.This last year it has gotten alot worse to the point where he got too aggressive for me to take care of and I had to put him in placement. It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make and even to this day I get depprest wondering if I did the right thing. I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer 4 years ago and chose to have a mastectomy. Where they took out Lymphnodes and the breast, I have no strength in my right arm; so lifting on him and other things became impossible. Will I always have these feelings of guilt. Even though he is still very much alive; I am grieving as if he had died. Anyone else had this situation? Please send a reply.

Thank you... This was a very informative article. I have been worried that I too have some early signs. My daughter suggested that I am ADHD. That did seem to make sense. My mind is every where and sometimes I get lost in thought and others have noticed this too. My mother was never ADHD so maybe there is a chance for me. Thank you Barb~ Your comment about nutrition hit home. Sugar... Made me think. My mother may be a lot better if we can control this part of her diet. Have any of you watched "Forks over Knives". Diet may make us all a lot healthier. Netflix has it for instant download. I think the theory has merit. Take a look.

I have been helping my husband for 4 years with his mother, whom I diagnosed with MCI, as the MD's are so reticent to put a label on her memory malfunction. We have been astounded at what a difference good nutrition makes in her functioning. It's still not perfect, she can't manage her own meds or keep a checkbook, but her functioning is significantly better when she's eating nutritious meals all day every day. When she's 'into the sugar,' it's immediately apparent to us.

The importance of nutritious foods should be emphasized in preventing and/or reversing memory loss. I'm sure by now everyone has heard about the benefits of organic Coconut oil. Here's several brain foods that Dr. Ron White suggests: 1-Beets: The amino acid phenylalanine is abundant in beets, and they help to strengthen your neuroconnections (brain cell connections from one cell to another). 2-Blueberries: One of the foods highest in antioxidants and "anthocyanins," compounds, believed to help in the protecting brain cells from toxins. Antioxidants improve how the brain uses glucose and promotes stronger interaction between neurons (brain cells). 3-Broccoli: Broccoli is full of antioxidants and phytonutrients that help protect the brain tissue from toxins. 4-Carrots: High in beta-carotene help protect brain tissue from toxins. 5-Hot chilies: The fiery-tasting chemical capsaicin is in hot chilies. It stimulates circulation, opens your nasal passages, aids in digestion of food, and sends a feeling of euphoria straight to your brain. 6-Citrus fruits: High in vitamin C and other antioxidants. 7-Wild-caught Fish: the Omega-3 fatty acids help build and maintain myelin sheets in the brain cells. 8-Spinach is concetrated in iron which helps memory. 9-Legumes slow the absorption of extra glucose in the brain and help with concentration and alertness. I would use organic vegetables, fruits, and legumes of course!

I am a nurse who cares for Alzheimer's patients. The most challenged I've ever been was caring for my own father who was an MD diagnosed with dementia. My empathy for those caring for family members with Alzheimer's/ dementia is profound. It's made me a better care giver and has made it easier to put myself in my patient's families shoes. Education published with regard to expected personality changes, etc. like we receive from Mayo helps one feel they are doing all the proper for their family members is a life line, even for us nurses.

My wife had an auto accident 2yrs ago and she hasn't really driven since.I don't think she really should be driving. She gets upset with me because we don't have a 2nd car. I am not sure if she that really wants to drive. I try to bluff and keep telling her she has a license, keys and our family car. She said she wants her own car and if I say "let's look for another car" she kind of says "We can't afford one". She feels totally dependent on me and feels she is losing her independence. She goes into periods of crying, upsetment and the atomsphere at home is very disturbing. Any ideas you folks have will be appreciated. Joe K

Story at a Glance
Media Contacts
(Washington, DC) – District residents, workers and visitors will soon get their first opportunity to step aboard one of the District's new modern streetcars. The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will host the DC Streetcar Showcase from Wednesday, May 5 through Saturday, May 8, 2010 at City Center DC, the site of the old convention center.
"We are getting closer and closer to putting streetcars back on the streets of the District, and we know there are a lot of people who are just as excited about their return as we are," said DDOT Director Gabe Klein. "This will be a great opportunity for them to see a modern streetcar up close, inside and out, and to learn more about how they will operate in the District."
After a 50 year hiatus, streetcars will once again operate in the nation's capital in 2012, and at the showcase next week Mayor Fenty and city officials are expected to make some significant announcements about the program and other transit services in the District. In addition to the Streetcar program, DDOT also operates the DC Circulator bus system and a bikesharing network.
Showcase Details
The District owns three streetcars, which are currently stored at Metro's rail yard in Greenbelt, Maryland. For the showcase, DDOT will transport one of the vehicles downtown where it will be set on temporary tracks in Lot B of City Center DC. The public will be able to access the lot from the intersection of 9th and H Streets, NW, which is just north of the Gallery Place Metro station on the Green and Yellow lines.
Admittance to the Showcase is free. The event schedule is as follows:
The DC Streetcar Showcase will coincide with several other related events in the District, including:
What's Past is Prologue
In the first half of the last century, the District had a robust streetcar network with more than 200 miles of track, but as bus service became more prevalent, the popularity of streetcars declined and the last day of streetcar service in the city was January 28, 1962.
Today, plans are well underway to restore this rich piece of the District's history. DDOT is developing a 37 mile, 8 line system, and construction on two of the lines has already started. Streetcar service is expected to begin in 2012 in Anacostia and on H Street/Benning Road.
"Streetcars are not just part of our past, they're also an important part of our future," said Director Klein. "Today, even with our great Metro system - which was primarily designed to move people in and out of the city - there is still a need for more, high quality transit service that links neighborhoods together and helps residents circulate around the District.
For more information about the District's Streetcar Program, please visit ddot.dc.gov/dcstreetcar.

A Unique Twist To The Holiday Season
By Mike Moen and Susan Stephens
Christmas is here! WNIJ is sharing some unique holiday traditions. WNIJ staff member, Austin Cliffe, shares his family's recipe for glogg, a fiery Scandinavian drink.
We also reached out to listeners to hear about some of their ways of celebrating the season. One that stood out was from Cathy Christensen. Every year, her family carries out tradition by exchanging an old pair of socks.
In the audio posted below, Cathy speaks with WNIJ's Mike Moen about this odd Christmas ritual. After that, Austin takes us into his kitchen and fixes us a drink:
Here is Austin making his latest batch of glogg:

Animation Art and Paintings by Faith Hubley, John Hubley and Emily Hubley
June 7 - July 22, 1999
Emily Lowe Gallery
The Hubley Studio has created some of the most innovative and challenging animation in the history of the art form. Beginning with the partnership of John & Faith Hubley, and continuing with Faith Hubley and Emily Hubley, they have received countless awards (including three Oscars) and international acclaim. Using dazzling visuals, avant-garde music and symbolism, their films have explored a wide range of subjects including creativity, the family, and our place in the universe.
This exhibition, guest curated by Dr. Sybil DelGaudio of Hofstra University's School of Communication, provides a rare opportunity to explore the usually unseen stages in the creation of an independent animated film. Focusing on story boards, animation art and paintings, the exhibition suggests the rich panoply of media that precede, contribute to and follow the process of making an animated film.
In January 1998, the Hubleys (Faith, John and Emily) were honored at Museum of Modern Art in New York with a film retrospective and a gallery show of art from their films.
Guest curator Dr. Sybil DelGaudio, Museum Director David Christman, Emily Hubley and Faith Hubley at the June 4th reception for Beyond the Frame: Animation Art and Paintings by Faith Hubley, John Hubley and Emily Hubley. Faith engaged in an informal discussion of her work and animation with a group of students at the reception.

Expanding the Horizon of Reason: Archbishop Müller Releases Book On Thought of Pope Benedict XVI
Only truth can save humanity - not propaganda.
The Prefect of this office is a chief guardian of the deposit of the Catholic faith for the whole Church. In an age struggling under the boot of what was properly called by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger a dictatorship of relativism, this office takes on extraordinary importance. The Church is the guardian of the only truth which will bring authentic liberation.
VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - On Tuesday, July 3, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI made an extremely important appointment. He chose the man who would occupy the position he occupied for nearly 25 years as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
The significance of this position is expressed in the description of the function of the office. Here is the description from the apostolic constitution Pastor Bonus, "The proper duty of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is to promote and safeguard the doctrine on faith and morals in the whole Catholic world; so it has competence in things that touch this matter in any way."
The history of the name given to this Office underscores the significant role it plays in the universal church. It was erected in 1542 as the Congregation for the Universal Inquisition. Given the difficulty that title held for a while, the name was changed to Congregation for the Holy Office in 1908. In 1965 it was changed to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
The Prefect of this office is a chief guardian of the deposit of the Catholic faith for the whole Church. In an age struggling under the boot of what was properly called by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger a dictatorship of relativism, this office takes on extraordinary importance. The Church is the guardian of the only truth which will bring authentic liberation.
The Pope chose a long time friend, ally and collaborator, the Bishop of Regensburg, Germany, Gerhard Ludwig M�ller. The Bishop hosted the Holy Father back in 2006 when Benedict XVI delivered his extraordinary "Regensburg lecture" at the University there. By virtue of this appointment, Bishop M�ller was raised to the rank of Archbishop.
Along with holding the office of Prefect, the Archbishop leads the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, the Pontifical Biblical Commission and the International Theological Commission. He is charged with ensuring the protection of both orthodoxy (right doctrine) and orthopraxy (right practice) within the global Catholic Church.
Archbishop M�ller not only has the confidence of - but truly knows the thinking of Pope Benedict XVI. He most certainly understands the theological positions of Pope Benedict XVI. On that front, it is important to note that he is also the official editor of the "Collected Writings of Joseph Ratzinger", a sixteen volume set.
The Vicar of Christ prayerfully made this appointment at a critical time in Church history. There is no doubt that Archbishop M�ller is both faithful to the Magisterium and trusted by Pope Benedict XVI. He knows that Benedict is a superb theologian and a man of profound prayer. He further knows that this Pope is playing a very significant role in Church history.
As an example of the vital role he plays, among his responsibilities Archbishop M�ller is responsible for the implementation of Benedict's historic apostolic constitution Anglicanorum Coetibus which provides for Personal Ordinariates for Anglicans entering into full communion with the Catholic Church.
Those who read me regularly know the high opinion I hold concerning the historic significance of the Papacy of Benedict XVI. I believe we can gain insights into where the Magisterium of Benedict XVI is headed by considering what Archbishop M�ller is saying. On Tuesday January 15, 2013, Archbishop M�ller gave an interview to Vatican Radio which is entitled on their site "Pope is man of wide horizons". It concerns a book being released on the thought of Pope Benedict XVI called "Expanding the Horizon of Reason."
I present the interview, conducted by Alessandro De Carolis, below. The introductory comments are from Vatican Radio:
"I've known a few people in life with such a breadth of vision and intellectual preparation" says Archbishop Gerhard Ludwig M�ller, speaking about Joseph Ratzinger - now Pope Benedict XVI - and his teaching both before and after his election to the Chair of Peter.
Archbishop M�ller, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, recently presented the book "Expanding the Horizon of Reason" which aims at presenting a "reading" of the teaching of the theologian Pope.
In an interview with Alessandro De Carolis, Archbishop M�ller speaks about Pope Benedict and his works:
Abp. M�ller: [Pope Benedict] has come a long way in his life and in his reflections. He began at age 15; he is now 85. So he has over seventy years of deep reflection and meditation. He has had many experiences in his life: as a young man, he experienced Nazism and fascism, war, various events of human life.
For this reason, he has never been an intellectual who lives in an ivory tower, but is present in the life of all people, deeply embedded in the history of the twentieth century, but also in the current moment. He is one of the few men to have such wide horizons: he knows the development of philosophy in Europe, starting with the Greeks and Romans, and ending with the modern philosophers. He knows, too, the history of the Church, the questions and challenges posed by the natural sciences today. I know few people with this depth of thought, which is so necessary today.
De Carolis: In his years of service as the Pope, Benedict XVI has shown that even a great theologian can speak the language of the common people, finding new expressions for the ancient truths of the faith. What is striking about this?
M�ller: We say: Jesus Christ is the Word of God, but when he came to this world, He spoke in a very simple way, to the hearts of all. He did speak to the Pharisees, to the great intellectuals of the world of his time, but always witnessed to the great respect that God has for all people. For this reason, it is necessary and very important that all theologians should be pastors who reach out to all, because God loves not only intellectuals and geniuses, but all people.
De Carolis: In a paragraph from the book you address the issue of the language of new media. What is particularly relevant in the specific Magisterium of Benedict XVI?
M�ller: Faith and Revelation are means that God uses to communicate with us. Through these media we are able to communicate, not in an ideological fashion - that is, wanting to influence people against their reason - but in an open dialogue with the truth, because only truth can save humanity - not propaganda.
Pope Francis Prayer Intentions for December 2013
General Intention: Victimized Children. That children who are victims of abandonment or violence may find the love and protection they need.
Missionary Intention: Prepare the Savior's Coming. That Christians, enlightened by the Word incarnate, may prepare humanity for the Savior's coming.
Keywords: Faith, Reason, Pope Benedict XVI, Archbishop M�ller, magisterium, CDF Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, orthodoxy, orthopraxy, Regensburg, Deacon Keith Fournier

I know this man is doing what he believes is right, and I trust that his conscience and spirit are pure. However, I pray dearly that he never becomes Pope. As another has pointed out, some of his views are quite troublesome. Even if they are not contrary to the Law at heart, they are at the very least presented in such a way that would scatter rather than gather. This would be the last thing the world needs - a Pope who espouses modernist or semi-modernist ideals.

Thank you Deacon Keith. This immediately calls attention to the huge dark cloud of deceit on the horizon.
A recent quote from a judge "We must equate resistance to the gay-rights agenda as a form of discrimination akin to racism" This is just the beginning folks.
This is soon to become a Federal crime unless those of us who, along with our pastors, are willing to put our very lives and public reputations on the line to defend marriage, family, and the lives of the unborn. All of these are under attack by the forces of Evil disguised in palatable progressive language and force fed to the public by the media as civil rights, health benefits, and freedom of choice by an administration hell bent on establishing government inspired quasi religious secularism in place of Judeo-Christianity within our society in order to remove the roadblocks which moral law and reason have been able to impede its progress wherever it has raised its ugly head in the past. America and the Catholic Church have been selected as the main targets of today's version of political cultural corruption because they/we are the top prizes and crippling them could result in wiping out the last vestiges of real global resistance. Light your lamps and hold them high the night is coming and the wolves are surrounding the sheep. Where are our Shepherds? -

Deacon Keith...you state that you have "no doubts" about the archbishop's complete adherence to the Magisterium. Before you were ordained, you went to seminary and I know that you have a great love for the Holy Faith. With this being said, you must have at least a few questions regarding statements made by Archbishop Muller especially in regards to the perpetual physical virginity of our Lady, transubstantiation, and questions surrounding Church membership. Also, his very close connections with the very founder and promoter of Liberation Theology is certainly troublesome. We were always told that Bl. John Paul II condemned this radical theology and corrected its adherents. I have questions and many, many traditional Catholics are quite concerned that the Faith continues to be up for discussion and even attacked by the very shepherds called to lead us.

TERREBONNE PARISH, La. -- A South Terrebonne High School teacher was arrested and jailed for having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old female student, according to Terrebonne Parish Sheriff Vernon Bourgeois.
"Information was received late last weekend that indicated that a 17 year-old female was engaged in a sexual relationship with one of her teachers. TPSO detectives investigated the complaint and revealed that the 17 year-old female, whose name is being withheld due to the nature of the crime, had engaged in a relationship with the teacher during the 2011-2012 school year," said a statement from Bourgeois.
The teacher, Matthew Dardar, 27, of Montegut, admitted to the relationship with the female student to authorities, according to the sheriff's office.
The student was a senior when the relationship began, though it ended recently, according to the sheriff's office.
"Dardar was arrested Thursday and charged with one count of prohibited sexual conduct between educator and student. He was jailed at the Terrebonne Parish Criminal Justice Complex," said Bourgeois.
