The improved play of Fab Melo this season is been, by all accounts, one of the reasons that Syracuse is 24-1 and ranked No. 2 in the nation this season.
Fab could be challenged on Saturday, though, as the Connecticut Huskies have some impressive big men of their own, writes The Daily Orange.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
The Syracuse center may have his toughest test of the season Saturday at 1 p.m. when the Orange (24-1, 11-1 Big East) takes on Connecticut (15-8, 5-6 Big East) in the Carrier Dome. The Huskies boast two prominent big men of their own in junior Alex Oriakhi and freshman Andre Drummond. But if Melo plays like he has throughout Big East play, he should be able to match UConn's post players down low.
The sophomore has become a standout defender at the heart of the Orange defense after shedding 30 pounds and getting into shape during the offseason. But he also credits last year's Big East Defensive Player of the Year and former SU star Rick Jackson with showing him how to play the center position.
"That's how I learned to play this year," Melo said. "I watched his films in the beginning of the season. … He's great at getting position. He knows where he has to be in the zone."
The highly touted Drummond, though, has had an up-and-down freshman year. Here's what CBS Sports' Gary Parrish wrote about Drummond's performance in the Huskies' recent loss to Louisville:
I saw Connecticut's Andre Drummond last Monday for the first time in person since July, and I've never in my life been more disappointed in a possible No. 1 pick. He was awful against Louisville. Even worse, he didn't seem to care that he was awful. The 6-foot-10 freshman was 0 of 6 from the field in 16 minutes -- and he only played 16 minutes because he got benched for much of the loss. Like I said, awful. Now Drummond has a matchup Saturday with Fab Melo and No. 2 Syracuse at the Carrier Dome. Unless he plays significantly better (and Syracuse is off), UConn is about to drop to 5-7 in the Big East.

Pants, pants and more pants, that was THE celebrity fashion statement last week. Angelina Jolie was glamorous in head to toe ivory when she made a surprise appearance at CinemaCon in Las Vegas -- isn't Angie always glamorous? Well maybe not in 2000 at the Oscars when she looked like Morticia Addams -- but she definitely had that old Hollywood glamour thing working for her last week. Christina Hendricks added a bright pop of spring color to the pants parade when she wore a coral pant suit to the LA Premiere of "The Pirate Fairy."
There were plenty of A-listers donning dark pants too: Shailene Woodley covered her legs in black satin during CinemaCon. Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe posed in sleek black pants and a gold jacket for a portrait in promotion of her second book, "Living in Style: Inspiration and Advice for Everyday Glamour." Leslie Mann was stunning in a strappy black jumpsuit at CinemaCon and Lizzy Caplan was right on trend in a black lace jumpsuit at the 22nd annual "A Night At Sardi's" to benefit the Alzheimer's Association at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Pants were hot and so was the color red. Bright red was a popular choice for Michelle Obama and her daughters Malia and Sasha when they posed for photos with Chinese President Xi Jinpingin in Beijing, China and if there was a top choice in the red category it would have to be burgundy. Lena Dunham, Anna Kendrick and Emma Stone wore berry-colored dresses while they traveled the globe from New York to Singapore attending red carpet events.
What do you think about Madeline Stowe's black leather pants and ruffled jacket -- hit or miss?

So why exactly didn't the other officers on the scene pull the one officer aside and calm him down. to prevent him from doing the wrong thing which he did. No officer there seemed to want to be professional.

I'm not exactly sure what they are complaining about? From what I have seen all they (old/big media) do is repeat what the WH told them. They don't ask objective questions. They certainly don't ask any hard questions.
Now if they were doing those things, and/or doing investigative reporting this also would not be a problem. They would be doing their own research. They would be investigating and reporting stories they found on their own.
Sounds to me like they are complaining that the WH is no longer doing their job for them, and I could care less.

Seen any strange goats lately?
Portland police would like to know. They are trying to help the owner of a brown and white, 2-feet-5, 50-pound Nigerian female goat named Penelope recover the animal, which was reported stolen from a Southeast Portland home sometime Monday morning.
According to a news release from the police bureau, officers took a report about 1:30 p.m. Monday that the goat had been taken sometime between 3:30 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. Monday from the front yard of her owner's home in the 6800 block of Southeast 122nd Avenue.
The owner said she had been "tethered and secured." The owner told police that Penelope would not have been able to escape on her own.
Police ask that anyone with information about Penelope's whereabouts call the police non-emergency line at 503-823-3333, reference Portland Police Bureau Case No. 14-62843.

My grandfather, a car salesman, sold with the slogan "used with many unused miles." But just how many unused miles are there on a typical, veteran NFL running back?
Only 67 men in NFL history have logged 1,500 or more carries. Only 30 have generated 2,000 or more.
Current active leaders are Edgerrin James (2,982, eighth all-time) LaDainian Tomlinson (2,657, 16th), Fred Taylor (2,428, 20th), Jamal Lewis (2,399, 22nd), Clinton Portis (2,052, 29th) and Thomas Jones (1,949, 34th).
No one else is in even the top 75. Some guys we think are mileage heavy but who actually have had their workloads well managed are Brian Westbrook (1,247, 98th), Larry Johnson (1,243, 101st) and Willie Parker (1,155, 127th).
Then, you have someone such as Julius Jones, who seems like he's never even had a steady gig, with 1,043 career carries (149th).
I find it incredible that in the entire history of the NFL, there haven't been 150 backs with more carries than Julius Jones. That's great evidence for just how physically demanding it is to be an NFL running back and why we should always first look at the backs with the fewest showroom miles.
What constitutes a committee? No team gives more than 80 percent of carries to one back. The average NFL team had 440 rushing attempts and only five backs had more than 300: Michael Turner (376), Adrian Peterson (363), Portis (342), Matt Forte (316) and Ryan Grant (312).
So as much as a third of the carries go to other players even when a team has a "workhorse back." A committee, then, is when the top back gets fewer than two-thirds of his team's rushing attempts by design not injury.
The teams expected to have committees that meet the standard:
• New York Jets (Thomas Jones and Leon Washington);
• San Diego (Tomlinson and Darren Sproles);
• Tennessee (Chris Johnson and LenDale White);
• Buffalo (Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson);
• Dallas (Marion Barber, Felix Jones and Tashard Choice);
• Philadelphia (Brian Westbrook and rookie LeSean McCoy);
• Baltimore (Ray Rice, Le'Ron McClain, Willis McGahee);
• New York Giants (Brandon Jacobs, Ahmad Bradshaw, Danny Ware);
• Pittsburgh (Parker and Rashard Mendenhall);
• New England (Laurence Maroney, Taylor, Kevin Faulk, Sammy Morris);
&bill; Indianapolis (Joseph Addai and Donald Brown);
• Arizona (Tim Hightower and Chris Wells);
• Tampa Bay (Cadillac Williams, Derrick Ward, Earnest Graham);
• New Orleans (Pierre Thomas, Reggie Bush);
• Dolphins (Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams);
• Oakland (Darren McFadden, Michael Bush, Justin Fargas);
• Denver (Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter).
Non-committee teams:
• Cincinnati (Cedric Benson);
• Houston (Steve Slaton);
• Jacksonville (Maurice Jones-Drew);
• Washington (Portis);
• Green Bay (Grant);
• Minnesota (Peterson);
• Detroit (Kevin Smith);
• Chicago (Forte);
• Atlanta (Turner);
• San Francisco (Frank Gore)
• St. Louis (Steven Jackson).
I'm willing to bet DeAngelo Williams will get at least two-thirds of the carries in Carolina, given his supreme ability and the likely seasonlong Achilles issue Jonathan Stewart will face.
In Seattle, the plan will be to employ Edgerrin James, on his last legs, on no more than one-third of the snaps. Gaining James and losing T.J.Duckett might increase Jones' value, because it's less certain that goal-line carries will be shared. (James' career goal-line conversion rate is terrible.)
In sum, you want to downgrade the backs in committees and upgrade the ones who are not. But let's focus on some exceptions. Average draft position data courtesy of MockDraftCentral.com.
Cadillac Williams, Bucs -- I hate the situation, but I will take the cheapest guy with the most upside, and that's Williams. He's going 201st on average. I'll pay that since he's technically the starter at the moment and pass on Earnest Graham (111th) and Derrick Ward (47th).
Brandon Jacobs, Giants -- The Giants had the most red-zone possessions last season and feature the sport's best offensive line. A healthy Jacobs gets 15-to-20 TDs, yet no one bothers in Round 1.
Laurence Maroney, Patriots -- He's in the cutout bin (ADP: 166). We've rarely found this level of ability in that kind of offense so cheap.
Ronnie Brown, Dolphins -- He'll be more of a feature back this season. He's far more multi-dimensional than Ricky Williams, and he's the key gadget (Wildcat) guy. So 28th overall as his ADP sounds right.
LeSean McCoy, Eagles -- Way too trendy (ADP: 103). I'd rather have Fred Jackson (ADP: 107), who is starting the first three weeks for sure. Brian Westbrook will get as much action as usual when healthy.
Clinton Portis, Redskins -- He rewarded owners who ignored me last year. But, as Elvis once sang, "The Fair is Moving On" eventually for everyone. The only question is when. And 2,052 carries seems as good a time as any.
Chris Johnson, Titans -- He should be a default "committee" downgrade but instead goes ahead of Slaton, on average. That's insane. If you love Johnson so much, instead take the comparable Reggie Bush three rounds later.

At Don Bosco Prep
Champions again: Joe Orecchio of Don Bosco Prep won his fourth title. Nick Alpher of Paramus captured his third championship while Jeff Rottingen of Ramsey, Paramus' Joe Rizzitello, Northern Highland's Nick Gravina and Razohnn Gross of Don Bosco Prep won their second consecutive crowns. Orecchio defeated Nick Madormo of Ramapo, 5-0 at 140 pounds, won last year at 119 and his first two district crowns at 103 pounds. Rottingen, who won at 112 last year, pinned Danny Tyson in 4:46 for the title at 119 pounds. Rizzitello won by fall at 130 pounds, up a weight class at which won gold last year, Gross defended his title at 189 by a 3-2 decision and Gravina won at 125 pounds after taking the championship at 103 pounds last year.
Outstanding Wrestler: Nick Alpher (31-2) of Paramus edged Sal Mastriani of Don Bosco Prep, 3-1, in the final at 145 pounds to secure the honor and add to the busy history between the two wrestlers the past two seasons. Mastriani (29-4) essentially gained the top seed at the weight over second-seeded Alpher (34-2) via his victory over his rival at the Bergen County Tournament on Dec. 29. Mastriani won that one by disqualification in 5:40. Alpher also defeated Mastriani, 3-2, in the District 5 final at 140 pounds last year. That was before Mastriani edged Alpher, 4-2, in the Region 2 final a week later.
Back points: Don Bosco Prep regained the team championship, edging defending champion Paramus, 168-154. It was the first outright title for the Ramsey-based school since 2008. It tied Paramus for the 2009 championship. Billy Reardon of Don Bosco Prep won the 112-pound championship after losing in the 103-pound final a year ago. Charles Slater of Ramsey, who lost in the 119-pound final in 2010, won the championship at 135 pounds this season.

We had the best time, but didn't get home until nearly 1 am.

For the next few days, Jim Cordle will take 20 minutes out of every hour icing his left knee.
An MRI taken earlier Monday revealed a partially torn patellar tendon in his knee, one that caused him to exit after just 22 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Cordle will have the injury re-evaluated by doctors on Thursday but is still trying to prepare for Sunday, even if it seems unlikely.
"It's potentially something I could deal with," Cordle said. "The doctor is coming in Thursday to re-evaluate it. It really just depends on how it is then, based on how we go forward."
Cordle said he didn't think the injury was bad enough to require surgery at the moment, but could probably be fixed in an offseason procedure.
"It's not that bad right now, but I guess it depends on who is going to look at it," Cordle said. "It's definitely damaged but probably after the season it would require some attention."
In the meantime, the Giants will likely go back to an offensive line with Kevin Boothe at center and James Brewer at guard.

MONTAGUE, MI – A young adult gothic horror romance novel by a Muskegon County author is slated for a nationwide release in stores and online early next year.
"Broken," by A.E. Rought from Montague will be released on January 8, she said.
She described the book as "a modern spin on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, written for teens." She said it was romantic, but dark.
"It's a modernized gothic horror (novel), so there are some really creepy scenes in it," Rought said.
The novel follows a teenager named Emma Gentry, who loses her boyfriend after string of mysterious deaths in a fictional West Michigan town, said Rought.
Emma is distraught over her loss, but as she starts to get over
him, a new boy shows up at school and catches her interest.
But he has "a disturbing array of similarities to (Emma's) dead boyfriend," Rought said.
The novel will be published by Strange Chemistry, the young adult imprint of Angry Robot, a British-based international book publishing that focuses on "modern adult science fiction, fantasy and everything inbetween," according to its website.
The Osprey Group and Random House will distribute the book in the United States, Rought said.
She said the story was based on a question: What if Frankenstein's monster fell in love?
In addition to reading the novel, Rought said she also watched about 50 different movie versions of "Frankenstein" to get a feel of the story and how it was portrayed over the years before adding her own take on it.
Rought also put a West Michigan spin on the story. The story takes place in the area, she said, and incorporates scenes that were inspired by real-life places in Muskegon County.
"I used points that are actually here," Rought said, citing the Lakes Mall, the dunes at Meinert Park and the catwalk at Muskegon High School as examples.
"I based it in West Michigan because I live here," she said. "I love it here."
While individual booksellers are free to pick and choose what they will feature in their stores, larger bookstores like Barnes and Noble and Schuler Books are likely to carry the novel, Rought said.
"If a Random House book will be there, ("Broken") will most likely be there," she said.
Rought said the thought of seeing her books in national retailers is "exciting and terrifying at the same time."
"You don't actually ever think those dreams are going to come true," she said.
Rought said that "Broken" also has TV and film rights representation with The Gotham Group, one of the biggest intellectual property firms in Hollywood.
Basically, she said, the firm has taken her novel and pitched it to film and television producers. Rought said at least one network has taken an interest in adapting the novel, but she couldn't go into detail about it.
"Broken" is not her first novel. Rought has also published a four other novels with independent publishers Lyrical Press and Samhain Press, according to her website.

Going into Week 8, the New Orleans Saints were coming off a very lopsided 62-7 victory over the lowly Indianapolis Colts. Their next opponent was the equally pathetic—and winless—St. Louis Rams.
The Rams were coming into the game after getting blown out by the Dallas Cowboys 34-7 in Cowboys Stadium and without their starting quarterback, Sam Bradford.
But a funny thing happened on Sunday.
Rams running back Steven Jackson turned back the clock and ran all over the Saints' defense for 159 yards and two touchdowns.
The Rams' defense also sacked rarely-touched Drew Brees six times and intercepted him twice, one was returned for a touchdown. At the end of the game, the scoreboard read 31-21 in favor of the Rams.
The Rams were the home team in this game, but the Arizona Cardinals weren't in theirs. The 1-6 Cardinals were almost able to beat the Ravens in Baltimore, but couldn't finish it out even after going up 24-3.
The 0-6 Miami Dolphins, on the road, almost came away with their first victory against the New York Giants also, had it not been for a late fourth-quarter Giants touchdown.
Here are five road teams that may shock the world and pull off an upset in Week 9.

Home sales across Alabama in February declined 13.5 percent from the same month in 2007, but rose compared to January's figures.
The University of Alabama's Center for Real Estate Research said Monday that home sales in the state totaled 3,537 last month, down from 4,092 in the previous year.
That was understandable, the center said, considering sales in February 2007 represent the second highest total recorded for the month in Alabama.
Home sales across the state last month topped January's figure by 19.6 percent.
Last month's average selling price, $155,342, rose 7.5 percent from January and dropped less than 1 percent from February 2007.
The average number of days an Alabama house that sold in February spent on the market declined to 124 days from 143 in February 2007. In the Birmingham area, the number of days a home spent on the market declined to 90 in February from 113 in the previous year. See statistics on the Birmingham market.
Sales activity across Alabama continues to reflect a period of correction, the center said. "Demand continues to remain soft in the near-term with the primary question of when to anticipate release of pent-up demand," the report stated.

"Bruce, Appleton make bids for Poulsbo mayor's seat"
"POULSBO - Two hats have been thrown into the 2001 election ring for the position Mayor of Poulsbo. Thursday morning former city councilwoman Sherry Appleton and incumbent Mayor Donna Jean Bruce announced their intentions to seek the high seat and while both said they are running to make Poulsbo a better place to live, they are running for very different reasons. Bruce's and Appleton's respective concepts about how the city should be run are pretty much on opposite ends of the spectrum. While the incumbent said she planned to continue her low key leadership style, the challenger said she would push for a strong government. Appleton served on council from 1985 to 1993 and has spent the last eight years as a lobbyist in Olympia. She is currently a Kitsap County freeholder and a member of the League of Women Voters as well. Concerns that the city had a part-time leader and voters' desire to keep the mayoral system intact, are what Appleton said prompted her to seek the office. I respect Donna Jean Bruce but I see a lack of leadership, Appleton explained, noting that in her estimation city staff had too much power. I believe I can bring leadership. When I make a commitment, it's a full-time commitment. Although progress has been made in some areas, Appleton said she felt the city lacked vision concerning future water and sewer needs. She also said a more definitive infrastructure plan was needed and different transportation options for Poulsbo should definitely be reviewed. We need to take back the bay, Appleton said, noting that the city should take the driver's seat in efforts to revive the polluted waters of Liberty Bay. In terms of growth, Appleton said she would push for a better partnership between the city and county while leaving the Finn Hill area out of the proposed Urban Growth Area. The UGA, which has been in the works for eight years, is also something Mayor Bruce said she would like to see wrapped up in the near future. We have a lot of projects hanging in the wind, Bruce said, noting that she would like to see the municipal campus, the Lindvig Bridge, Olympic College and other works in progress through to completion. Bruce was elected to the Poulsbo City Council in 1988 and served 11 years before she was appointed mayor in 1999 when Mitch Mitchusson retired. She ran unopposed last year, filling out the remainder of Mitchusson's unexpired term. I think we've got a very competent group of department heads and a very competent group on city council, she said. I want to continue to make sure council's decisions are carried out - that's the mayor's role. I think the mayor's job is to keep the city running smoothly. This doesn't mean micro-management of the city departments but rather a working with attitude toward staff and council, she said. I'm not doing this to further my political future - I'm doing this because I like it, Bruce explained. My main concern is what's best for the city. "

We might just strip out one more thing from Deutsche's recent report on Bretton Woods 2.o, namely the bit about how the growth of Chinese "reserve holdings associated with export-led growth provided de facto protection for foreign private investors in emerging markets and thereby caused the gross flows" needed for China's growth strategy.
The point being that private capital flows generate political risk — "haha, all your FDI are belong to us" — and, without some sort of collateral, flows from rich countries to poor countries will be held back. Think of China's reserves as a $4tn hostage which stops China from throwing its weight around and stands in the way of a geopolitical breakdown. With it in place, foreign capital becomes more comfortable heading into China. The idea from Deutsche is that this was the only way to get China's development model to work on the scale it has.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) -- The Indiana Chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) announced six-year-old Ariana Ugalde as the 2013 Fort Wayne Honored Hero for the organization's annual Light The Night Walk.
An Honored Hero is an individual who has battled or is currently battling a blood cancer. Ariana offers us inspiration and encouragement, and provides a personal connection to the LLS mission: cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
Ariana was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in May of 2010. She is currently in the maintenance phase of treatment and continues to receive chemotherapy in pill form every day. Ariana also receives IV chemotherapy once each month. She loves to color and watch movies, and adores Cinderella and Princess Ariel.
Light The Night is an annual evening fundraising Walk to build awareness about blood cancers and raise money to fund research, education and patient services.
In 2012, the campaign raised more than $900,000 in Indiana. Anyone is welcome to participate in this event, either as an individual walker or to form a team through your company or group of friends and family. Individuals and teams of walkers raise funds prior to the event.
Local blood cancer patient Ariana Ugalde will serve as the Fort Wayne area Honored Hero and inspire walkers to fundraise by sharing her story of survival and hope. On the evening of the event, participants walk along a two-mile route carrying illuminated balloons—white for survivors, red for supporters and gold for individuals or teams walking in memory of a loved one lost.
You can register for the Fort Wayne Light The Night Walk held on Sunday, September 29 at

Bishop Fulton Sheen discusses Pope John XXIII from the viewpoint of one who knew him.
Catholic in the Public Square
John Paul II's doctor talks about treating him after the near fatal assassination attempt on the pope's life.
I'm sort of loggy and hung over from long days at work this week.
Maybe that's why.
Maybe that's not why.
Maybe it's because of something else.
All I know is that I don't care if Pope Francis called a woman in Argentina and told her she could take communion. If he did, ok. If he didn't, that's ok, too.
Whatever he said or didn't say, it was a personal conversation between priest and person, not The Pope, speaking from the Chair of Peter and defining the faith for the entire Church.
I am all worn out from the legislative wars of this week. I am also at a loss about how to keep my mother on an even keel while I'm at work and away from her for so many hours. She is, in this in particular, like a small child. She gets separation anxiety when I'm out of sight for too long and nothing can fix it but time with me.
I've tried having my secretary call her every hour and remind her that I'm working and I'll see her later. That helps, but it doesn't fix it. I've asked the people at her day care to remind her that I'm at work, also. Again, it helps, but it's not a fix.
Yesterday, I was in the middle of debate on a bill, mike in hand, giving it my best, when my phone lit up. It was Mama. When I talked to her later, she said, "I want to ask you to forgive me."
"Forgive you for what?" I said.
"Forgive me for whatever I've done that has made you go away from me and not see me."
I get one of those apologies (usually with tears) at least once every day.
She forgets, no matter how many times people tell her, that I'm at work. She also forgets that it's only been a few hours since I saw her. She doesn't believe that I'll see her again in a little while.
I never knew before going through this with her that living in the now was such a tortuous thing. Do not make light of your short-term memory. It is a major governor on your life that keeps things steady and gives you perspective and reality about everything and everyone you encounter.
When I got up this morning — after getting home from work at about 11pm and sleeping for only a few hours — my mind was basically cottage cheese. The possibility that I would write a two-word sentence that was comprehensible was slim to none.
I did my due. Took Mama out for lunch. Took Mama to the doctor. Took Mama for a drive and her daily ice cream.
Now, she's sleeping it off like a baby. She'll wake up soon and she won't remember any of it. The new story will be that she hasn't eaten or seen me all day long.
She will call people and tell them that I've left her alone in the house for days and that I won't give her food and that she's slowly starving to death.
Then, she'll eat supper and chill out, watching ESPN until bedtime.
Now … what was I saying about Pope Francis and the Argentine lady and communion?
Oh yeah.
I remember.
I don't care.
Kevin Sorbo, star of God is Not Dead, shares his remarkable story of faith, including how his faith helped him through a traumatic health crisis that could have killed him or left him an invalid.
As his wife says in the video, "He's a good guy."
This is a touching description by the woman who experienced it of the miracle from John Paul II that saved her life.
We are the light of the world. Pope Francis reminds us not to hide that light, but to joyously let it shine.
Patheos Public Square included this interview that Pope Benedict XVI gave in September before his resignation about religion and violence.
The Public Square topic is Can Violence Be Redemptive? To read the entire discussion, go here.
Vatican City, 15 September 2012 (VIS) – As is traditional during the course of his apostolic trips, Benedict XVI granted a brief interview to the journalists accompanying him on his flight to Lebanon, in which he turned his attention to various issues associated with the situation in the Middle East.
Question: "Your Holiness, many terrible anniversaries are occurring at this time, for example that of the 11 September attacks, and the massacre at the Sabra and Chatila refugee camps. On the borders of Lebanon a civil war is being fought, amid much bloodshed, and in other countries too we see an ever-present risk of violence. Holy Father, … have you been tempted to cancel your trip for security reasons, or has anyone suggested that you should cancel it?"
Holy Father: "Dear friends, … I can tell you that no one advised me to cancel this journey, and for my part I never considered doing so, because I know that as the situation becomes more complex, it is all the more necessary to offer this sign of fraternal encouragement and solidarity. That is the aim of my visit: to issue an invitation to dialogue, to peace and against violence, to go forward together to find solutions to the problems".
Q: "Many Catholics are expressing concern about increasing forms of fundamentalism in various parts of the world and about attacks that claim large numbers of Christians as victims. In this difficult and often violent context, how can the Church respond to the imperative of dialogue with Islam, on which you have often insisted?"
Holy Father: "Fundamentalism is always a falsification of religion. It goes against the essence of religion, which seeks to reconcile and to create God's peace throughout the world. … The essential message of religion must be against violence – which is a falsification of that message, like fundamentalism – and it must educate, illuminate and purify consciences so as to make them capable of dialogue, reconciliation and peace".
Q: "In the context of the surging clamour for democracy that has begun to spread in many countries of the Middle East through the so-called 'Arab Spring', and in view of the social conditions in most of these countries, where Christians are a minority, is there not a risk of an inevitable tension between the dominant majority and the survival of Christianity?"
Holy Father: "I would say that in itself, the Arab spring is a positive thing: it is a desire for greater democracy, greater freedom, greater cooperation and a revived Arab identity. This cry for freedom, which comes from a young generation with more cultural and professional formation, who seek greater participation in political and social life, is a mark of progress, a truly positive development that has been hailed by Christians too. Of course, bearing in mind the history of revolutions, we know that this important and positive cry for freedom is always in danger of overlooking one aspect – one fundamental dimension of freedom – namely tolerance of the other, the fact that human freedom is always a shared freedom, which can only grow through sharing, solidarity and living side by side according to certain rules. … We must do all we can to ensure that the concept of freedom, the desire for freedom, goes in the right direction and does not overlook tolerance, the overall social fabric, and reconciliation, which are essential elements of freedom. Hence the renewed Arab identity seems to me to imply also a renewal of the centuries-old, millennia-old, coexistence of Christians and Arabs, who side by side, in mutual tolerance of majority and minority, built these lands and cannot do other than live side by side. I therefore think it important to recognise the positive elements in these movements and to do all we can to ensure that freedom is correctly conceived and corresponds to growth in dialogue rather than domination of one group over others".
Q: "In Syria today, as in Iraq a while ago, many Christians have felt obliged, reluctantly, to leave their homeland. What does the Catholic Church intend to do or say in order to help in this situation and to stem the flow of Christians from Syria and other Middle Eastern countries?"
Holy Father: "First of all I must say that it is not only Christians who are leaving, but also Muslims. Naturally, there is a great danger of Christians leaving these lands and their presence there being lost, and we must do all we can to help them to stay. The essential way to help would be to put an end to the war and violence which is causing this exodus. Therefore the first priority is to do all we can to halt the violence and to open up a real possibility of staying together for the future. What can we do against war? Of course we can always spread the message of peace, we can make it clear that violence never solves problems and we can build up the forces of peace. … Christian gestures may also be of help: days of prayer for the Middle East, for Christians and Muslims, to demonstrate the possibilities for dialogue and for solutions. I also believe that there must be an end to the importation of arms: without which, war could not continue. Instead of importing weapons, which is a grave sin, we should import ideas of peace and creativity, we should find ways of accepting each person in his otherness, we should therefore make visible before the world the respect that religions have for one another, respect for man as God's creation and love of neighbour as fundamental to all religions. In this way, using all possible means, including material assistance, we must help to bring an end to war and violence so that all can help rebuild the country".
Q: "Besides prayer and sentiments of solidarity, do you see concrete steps that the Churches and the Catholics of the West, especially in Europe and America, can take in order to support their brethren in the Middle East?"
Holy Father: "I would say that we need to influence public opinion and politicians to make a real commitment, using all their resources, all their opportunities, with real creativity, in favour of peace and against violence. No one should hope to gain from violence, all must contribute positively. … Moreover, our charitable organisations should offer material help and do everything they can. We have organisations like the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre, specifically for the Holy Land, but other similar organisations could also provide material, political and human assistance in these lands. I would like to say once again that visible signs of solidarity, days of public prayer, and other such gestures can catch the attention of public opinion and produce concrete results".
It promises to be the day of the popes, both living and canonized.
Never before have two living popes been present at the canonization of two other popes. But if Pope Emeritus Benedict feels up to it, that is what will happen at the Vatican this Sunday. Pope Emeritus Benedict says he will attend the upcoming canonization of Popes John Paul II and Pope John XXIII. Pope Francis, who is our sitting pope, will preside.
From Catholic News Service:
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Retired Pope Benedict XVI is expected to attend the canonization of Blesseds John XXIII and John Paul II April 27, said Msgr. Liberio Andreatta, head of the Vatican-related pilgrim agency, Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi.
"Never before have there been two popes canonized and two popes living," he said at a news conference in Rome April 23 to discuss final plans and preparations for pilgrims. "You can imagine their emotions!"
However, Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, Vatican spokesman, continued to caution journalists, saying that while the retired pope certainly had been invited to the Mass, "we'll have to wait and see" if, at 87 years old, he feels up to attending.
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI gave a rare interview this week in which he discussed the upcoming canonization of Blessed Pope John Paul II.
"In the years i which I collaborated with him, it was ever clearer to me that John Paul II was a saint," he said.
"John Paul II did not ask for applause nor did he look around worried about how his decisions were going to be received. He acted based on his faith and his convictions, and he was also wiling to take hits. The courage for truth is, in my view, a primary measure of holiness.
"My memory of John Paul II is filled with gratitude. I couldn't and shouldn't try to imitate him, but I have tried to carry forward his legacy and his work the best that I could," the Pope Emeritus said.
Blessed John Paul II and Blessed John XXIII will be canonized this Sunday.
From Catholic New Agency:
Rome, Italy, Apr 23, 2014 / 12:47 pm (CNA).- In a rare interview, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI recalled his close friendship with Blessed John Paul II, saying that the pontiff's sanctity and deep spirituality were apparent during his life.
"In the years in which I collaborated with him, it was ever clearer to me that John Paul II was a saint," said Benedict XVI during an interview with Polish journalist Wlodzimierz Redzioch, which was published April 20 in the Spanish newspaper "La Razon."
"Naturally, his intense relationship with God, being immersed in communion with the Lord, needs to be taken into account above all," the former Pope said of his predecessor.
Benedict XVI, who served under Pope John Paul II as prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, said the Polish pontiff courageously "embraced his task in a truly difficult time."

The Great Atlantic & Pacific Co. announced today that former Borders CEO Ron Marshall will lead the supermarket chain.
Marshall, 54, who spent about a year with Borders, said yesterday that he was leaving to join another company.
On Monday, Marshall will officially replace Christian Haub, who had served as interim CEO since October.
Marshall was once CEO of food distributor and retailer Nash Finch Co. and as chief financial officer of Pathmark Stores Inc., now a unit of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. He also founded the private equity firm Wildridge Capital Management.
A&P, as most traditional supermarket chains, has faced slipping sales as nervous consumers cut back on higher-priced food.
Stores have been forced to slash prices to draw shoppers as consumers trade down, buy less and skip impulse purchases to stretch every dollar.
Grocers that acted quickly to draw in skittish consumers have ridden out the recession fairly well. A&P, on the other hand, has suffered.
In the company's latest quarter it lost $559.6 million, or $14.35 per share, due to a hefty goodwill charge, while sales fell 8 percent to $1.96 billion.
A&P operates 433 stores in 8 states and Washington, D.C., under the names A&P, Waldbaum's, Pathmark, Best Cellars, The Food Emporium, Super Foodmart, SuperFresh and Food Basics.
Shares rose 10 cents to $8.20 in early trading today.

Obama delivers his State of the Union address on Tuesday night with more of a kinship to the borough than he had even six months ago.
"There is almost a warm and fuzzy connection," said Assemblyman Matthew Titone (D-North Shore). It began with Hurricane Sandy.
When Conservative Borough President James P. Molinaro made worldwide headlines in slamming the federal and American Red Cross response in the aftermath of the superstorm, the White House made sure Molinaro was part of a top-level conference call that included Obama.
During the call, Obama assured Molinaro that devastated Islanders would get the help they needed.
Backing up his words, Obama quickly dispatched Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to the borough for a high-profile visit. Top FEMA officials were assigned here, and the head of the American Red Cross also made an appearance.
The came an Election Day shocker, when Obama won the Island by three points over Republican Mitt Romney.
Most politicos, Democrats included, believed the Island would continue its GOP-voting ways in White House battles. Instead, Obama became just the fourth Democrat to win the Island in a presidential race since 1936. He lost to Republican John McCain here four years earlier.
That was followed up by the truly historic moment: The visit of the president to the Island to tour Sandy-ravaged areas.
Obama spent two hours here, talking to affected residents and touring blasted neighborhoods. It was Obama's only on-the-ground view of the Sandy devastation in New York. He also visited with the Moore family, whose two small children were swept away in the maelstrom.
It had been 15 years since a sitting president -- Democrat Bill Clinton -- had visited the Island.
Later in the month, Obama, during his Thanksgiving message to the nation, mentioned the Midland Beach family who erected an ad hoc Christmas tree at their storm-ravaged home, saying they were a symbol of storm victims' resilience.
The family had received an official White House Christmas ornament from a Secret Service agent during Obama's Island visit.
And there was a touch of the Island when the chorus from PS 22 in Graniteville sang at Obama's second inauguration ceremony.
But despite the good vibrations, Titone said Obama shouldn't take the Island for granted.
"He still has to go to work every day and prove himself to Staten Islanders, particularly in the wake of Sandy," he said. "It doesn't mean that the honeymoon can't end."
State Sen. Diane Savino (D-North Shore/Brooklyn) agreed.
"I don't think Staten Island will give him a pass," she said. "He has to follow through on the economy, and help us get through Sandy. I don't think Staten Islanders have blind devotion toward him."

Carnival crowds this year were among the biggest veteran observers have ever seen; hotel occupancy was at record levels, and revelers left 8,000 tons of trash in the French Quarter and CBD over the past six weeks, double the amount for a typical carnival season.
ELIOT KAMENITZ / THE TIMES PICAYUNE The Jester Float makes its turn as throngs of people in New Orleans celebrate Mardi Gras as Rex rolls down St. Charles and Canal Street on Tuesday, February 16, 2010.
The Knights of Nemesis held the first night parade in St. Bernard Parish since Hurricane Katrina on Feb. 6. It was the fifth anniversary parade for the krewe.
The Holy Cross neighborhood was named one of the "Best Comeback Neighborhoods in the South'' by Southern Living Magazine.

The Army Corps of Engineers has signed off on the decision record for the Caernarvon Floodwall, which will tie the Chalmette Loop Levee system into the Mississippi River levee at the St. Bernard/Plaquemines parish line. A contract for the floodwall will be awarded by late spring or early summer.
Every St. Bernard Parish second-grader is taking swimming lessons at Chalmette High School Ninth Grade Academy's new natatorium. "St. Bernardians learned from Hurricane Katrina why every person needs to learn to swim,'' said American Red Cross instructor Millicent Soroe. The high school swim team and other programs also are using the new facility.
Tangipahoa Parish is getting a grant to do design and engineering work on a project to protect Lake Pontchartrain's northern shoreline. The federal Minerals Management Service approved the $699,400 grant for work on a detached breakwater system from Pass Manchac to the Tangipahoa River.

The MSNBC host had some harsh words for those who do not believe in global warming after the devastation and destruction caused by superstorm Sandy.
Chris Matthews dares GOP strategist Todd Harris to say something negative about Rush Limbaugh. He can't, which leads the "Hardball" host to wonder whether anyone in the GOP is willing to risk Rush's ire.
The U.S. Senate is safe from "Hardball" host Chris Matthews—at least for now. Matthews will stay put on the media-specific side of the political arena instead of making a bid for a Senate seat in his home state of Pennsylvania, as suggested by the recent scuttlebutt about him.
Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann apparently understood that she needed to do a little spin control following her jaw-dropping flirtation with McCarthyism on "Hardball" last week, but she apparently didn't feel the need to apologize to anyone, judging by her latest campaign spot.
Rep. Michelle Bachmann was cakewalking to re-election in her Republican-leaning Minnesota district until she told Chris Matthews the media should investigate anti-Americanism in Congress. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee calls that a "$1 million mistake."
Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan has dropped yet another bombshell, telling "Hardball" host Chris Matthews on Friday that the Bush administration helped "shape the narrative" of Fox News by passing "taking points" to certain members of Fox's nighttime lineup.
The "Hardball" host seems to tell his satirical counterpart that he's serious about a run for the Senate in 2010: "Some kids want to be a fireman. I want to be a senator." Awwww.
The "Hardball" host is known for being outspoken, but apparently even he thinks he can go too far. Chris Matthews has apologized for suggesting that Hillary Clinton's political success stemmed from having an unfaithful husband.
Chris Matthews got much more than he bargained for when he peddled his new book, "Life's a Campaign," on "The Daily Show." In this clip, Jon Stewart savages the book, calling it both "a recipe for sadness" and a "self-hurt book" and making not-at-all-subtle references to Machiavelli and fascism. Fireworks ensue.
Ann Coulter fielded a call-in by Elizabeth Edwards on MSNBC's "Hardball" Tuesday night as Coulter sat with host Chris Matthews in front of a gaggle of young voters to discuss the '08 campaign. Needless to say, Mrs. Edwards was none too thrilled with Coulter's recent (and past) comments about her husband and family.
Unaware that his mike was on, Chris Matthews accidentally let the S-word slip during a live taping of MSNBC's "Hardball." Matthews was caught saying to producers, "We're all reacting here, putting on s**t. We have nothing."
Chris Matthews really stuck it to the hawks on Wednesday's "Hardball": "If you want America to be a hegemonic power in the Middle East, you're out of step with the American people. We're not going to fight it out with Iran for the next 30 years to see who the big s***—I'm sorry—the big name is on the block."

"Air America" host Al Franken nails Washington Times editor Tony Blankley for
misleading readers about an editorial he wrote on Richard Clarke and terrorism. Blankley can only sputter.
This one was so brutal it almost wasn't fun to watch. Almost. NBC's Chris Matthews and antiwar veteran Paul Hackett made mincemeat of Texas GOP congressional candidate Van Taylor, whom they repeatedly chastised for using meaningless talking points. Taylor was more out of his depth than George Bush at a Mensa convention.

Chris Matthews nails the White House communications director on his claim that no one in the administration promised that gas prices would go down after the invasion of Iraq.
Meanwhile, crude prices are holding above $72—a record high.
Colin Powell's controversial claim (made to Truthdig Editor Robert Scheer) that he never believed Iraq posed an imminent nuclear threat has renewed the debate about Powell's culpability in the Iraq debacle. Check out Vanity Fair's Chris Hitchens and Newsweek's Evan Thomas discussing the issue on "Hardball" or read Jane Hamsher's take at Firedoglake.
That's what the "Hardball" host tells the disgraced representative in a not-meant-for-airing exchange surfaced by the Huffington Post. Also see the sexist comment DeLay made about Hillary Clinton. (video)

CASSADAGA - The drama of the fluoridation vote is over. Now that the board is conducting business of a more routine nature, public attendance at the meetings of the Cassadaga Village has dropped. To be exact, one member of the public came to the board's most recent meeting.
Still the board acted on a number of items on the agenda. Bill Astry was awarded a contract to clean the infrared heaters in the village.
Town Clerk Roxanne Astry brought in examples of water bill formats and asked for guidance from the board. The members of the board in attendance (Deputy Mayor Rodney Waite and Trustees Mike Lehnen and Valerie Culverwell) discussed the pros and cons of the different formats. Finally, the board selected a letter that they felt was the clearest in stating the charge, the amount of water used, and the penalty for late payment.

Mike Lehnen, village trustee, studies the bills and payroll at the recent Cassadaga Village Board meeting.
Lehnen said, "This will be better for the people. It will be less confusing to them."
The contract with the Stockton Fire Department is still being negotiated and at the next meeting the board may go into executive session to deal with it.
Trustee Valerie Culverwell said, "I don't want the people involved (about 30 families) to suffer, but I also don't want our taxpayers to overpay. It seems that Stockton should be able to meet us somewhere in the middle."
Street Supervisor Thomas Fetter reported that he is gearing up for winter. "The truck is fitted for plowing and the tractor has snowblowing equipment on it," he said.
After discussing the older unused equipment with Fetter, the board plans to look into whether it can be declared surplus and sold or whether it would get more money if sold for scrap.
The board plans to decorate in the village again this year and asked Fetter to get the decorations out of storage, including the large ornament balls that Waite donated to the effort last year.
After considering the Thanksgiving holiday that is upcoming, the board decided to change its meeting date from Wednesday to Monday (Nov. 19). A workshop will be held at 6:30 p.m. and the regular meeting will be 7 p.m.

SPRINGHILL - The past year was another one of growth for the Cumberland Health Authority.
SPRINGHILL - The past year was another one of growth for the Cumberland Health Authority.
Continuing to build on the momentum generated in recent years, the health authority continued working in several key areas to improve health-care services for residents in Cumberland County.
"As has been the case over the past three years the CHA continued to experience growth and expansion in all areas of its operations," board chair Bruce Saunders told the authority's annual meeting in Springhill.
Growth included several key initiatives such as the opening of the third operating theatre at the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre and the success of the Cumberland South Rural Practice Network that has resolved a chronic physician shortage by having nurse practitioners work in concert with doctors in Parrsboro, Advocate and River Hebert.
A similar network is being proposed for the Pugwash area.
Day surgery numbers increased by 13.5 per cent over 2005-06 and by 49 per cent since 2003-04 while ambulatory care visits have jumped by 6.7 per cent since 2005-06. There has also been a greater demand for support services including laboratory and diagnostic imaging.
The authority has also worked to enhance patient safety through its support for the Safe Health Care Now initiative. The district has also embarked on an organizational health strategy aimed at developing a healthy workplace plan to benefit all employees, physicians and volunteers.
Saunders said this growth, although good, has come with challenges.
"Addressing the complex issues that revolve around the provision of health care services is a challenge. Those challenges range from increasing costs and limited budgets to shortages of qualified health care providers," Saunders said.
Among those challenges is dealing with the number of alternate level care patients who are awaiting placement in long-term care facilities and providing an equitable level of care across a large, sparsely populated area.

We've been on quite a long bull market for equities, and with oil prices rising and unemployment still at pesky levels, a bull market can turn bear at a moment's notice. So how can we protect ourselves and sleep at night with questions surrounding the economy?
You may sleep well stuffing your extra cash under your mattress, but over time that's bound to lead to back problems. So why not invest in companies that have cash burning a hole in their pockets and businesses that spit off more cash faster than they can spend it? Not only does cash provide a safety net when and if the stock market takes another tumble, it can also be ammunition for future growth.
Here are four tech companies with not only dominant market positions but also lots of cash that should help any investor sleep at night.
Market Cap
Net Cash and Short-Term Investments
2010 Operating Cash Flow
Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL )
$324.1 billion
$27.0 billion
$22.6 billion
Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT )
$217.4 billion
$30.3 billion
$25.4 billion
Intel (Nasdaq: INTC )
$115.2 billion
$19.8 billion
$16.7 billion
Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO )
$99.9 billion
$25.0 billion
$10.5 billion
Source: Yahoo! Finance. Cash and short-term investment figures are net of long-term debt.
Apple and Microsoft dominate our computer landscape, and with operating cash flowing in as if Hoover Dam had busted wide open, they have plenty of cash for further investment. Similarly, Cisco has a strong position in networking. And while Intel is in a somewhat more capital-intensive business, this only helps bolster its barrier to entry for competitors. All four of these companies are therefore free to invest in research, acquisitions, or in Apple's case, Treasuries.
A competitive moat and cash is a wonderful thing, and all of these companies have both.
Getting some Zzzz's
There's lots of cash sitting on the sidelines right now, especially in tech, but that can create a nice cushion for investors. Cash can help your portfolio, whether we go through more economic turbulence or if companies put it to work for growth. Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE: BRK-A ) (NYSE: BRK-B ) famous cash hog, Warren Buffett, has even said his "elephant gun has been reloaded" and that if a good deal comes along, he may jump on it.
So what investments help you sleep at night? Leave your thoughts in the comments section below.

Peek Inside The Copy Cat Building: Where Baltimore Artists Work — And Live
When inventor William Painter set up the Crown Cork and Seal Co. in a Baltimore building at the end of the 19th century, he might not have known that his little creative idea — the Crown Cork bottle cap — would became a worldwide standard for the beer and soda industries.
And doubtful he could have predicted what would become of the building. Stroll by it today and the people walking in and out of the massive establishment are keeping that spark of creativity alive — but in a very different way.

These days, it's known as the Copy Cat building. The name is a lingering legacy of Copy Cat printing, which also once operated there. And it is something of a landmark in the Baltimore arts community. The former factory is now rented as studio lofts and affordable living space for artists — "a centerpiece of the Charles North Arts and Entertainment district" (now the Station North Arts and Entertainment District), writes the Baltimore City Paper.
Residents are free to design their loft spaces as they choose. In any given room you might find a skate ramp, a band rehearsing, a photo studio, a sculpture in progress. But also beds and couches and fridges. For the past few decades, artists have hosted gallery openings and parties, played music and performed plays there, among other happenings.
"An amazing amount of bands that are very, very popular and are significant to cultural history have been through this building," says current resident Alex Wein. Dan Deacon, for example, is one musician who has come and gone through the halls and walls of metal, mismatched materials and shaky, old pipes.
But when Wein, a photographer, and Rob Brulinski set up their Wild Horses Studios in the Copy Cat last year, they felt as if the residents didn't know the full story of their living quarters.
"They understand that it's an industrial space, but I'm hesitant to say that they know why this building was built in the first place," Brulinski says.
(Actually, its existence as a commercial and residential building is a complicated story of urban renewal that involves the creation of arts districts, tax breaks and debates about gentrification. The Baltimore City Paper has that history.)
According to Wein, it also seems that residents don't know much about each other, either. "No one really knows how many people are living here at once," he says. The building is divided into sections, with only a few of the rooms occupied at once — and some of the residents, Wein says, are very reclusive.
He can say that there are at least 100 tenants. That's about how many he and Brulinski have photographed for an ongoing portrait project of Copy Cat residents in their quarters. They hope to compile the resulting photos in a book.
"We wanted the subjects to play a role," Wein says. "We wanted them to be themselves, but wanted them to be proud ... in their space."
Though only six months into the project, they say they have received numerous emails from artists who want to move into the Copy Cat — and even former residents who want to tell their stories.
"The art community that is here is amazing," Wein says. And he hopes readers of the eventual book will agree.
To get a better idea of the space, check out this virtual tour produced by Wein and Brulinski.

A Friar Minor and controversialist, born at Herborn, Germany, in 1485; died at Toulouse, 15 April, 1534. He was made provincial of the Franciscan province of Cologne and was honoured by Clement VII with the office of vicar-general of that branch of the order known as the Cismontane Observance, in which capacity he visited the various provinces of the order in England, Germany, Spain, and Belgium. At the instance of the bishops of Denmark, he was called to Copenhagen to champion the Catholic cause against Danish Lutheranism, and there he composed, in 1530, the "Confutatio Lutheranismi Danici", first edited by L. Schmitt, S.J., and published at Quaracchi (1902), which earned for him the sobriquet of Stagefyr (fire-brand). Ferber's principal work is entitled: "Locorum communium adversus hujus temporis hæreses Enchiridion", published at Cologne in 1528, with additions in 1529. Besides this he wrote "Assertiones CCCXXV adversus Fr. Lamberti paradoxa impia" etc. (Cologne, 1526, and Paris, 1534); and "Enarrationes latinæ Evangeliorum quadragesimalium", preached in German and published in Latin (Antwerp, 1533).
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

OLYMPIA — Washington lawmakers are awaiting a new economic forecast that will guide this year's budget decisions.
The state Economic and Revenue Forecast Council is scheduled to release its quarterly report Wednesday. Lawmakers are already planning to deal with a large budget shortfall.
Budget writers entered the year with a roughly $1 billion shortfall, and they are under court order to add more money to K-12 education.
Some Democrats have talked about new tax revenues to help balance the budget while Republicans say the Legislature can finish a budget without new money.
Lawmakers are expected to release their budget proposals in the coming weeks.

Product Description
The need for a safer approach to niacin supplementation resulted in the investigation of niacin esters. One of the most widely studied of these is inositol hexaniacinate (IHN). In numerous trials it has been found to be virtually free of the side effects associated with conventional niacin therapy. Pharmacokinetic studies show the IHN molecule is absorbed intact and slowly hydrolyzed in the bloodstream, with the release of free niacin and inositol. Maximum serum levels are reached approximately 10 hours after ingestion. This allows for a more delayed release of niacin, which reduces the risk of flushing.
Extensive research has found IHN to be effective in the treatment of Raynaud's disease and intermittent claudication. A review of the literature reveals numerous positive studies on the use of IHN in Raynaud's disease. The typical dosage is 1 g four times daily for several months. The mechanism of action appears to be more than just a transient vasodilation, involving lipid lowering and fibrinolysis. This explains the need for long-term administration. The use of inositol hexaniacinate for the treatment of intermittent claudication secondary to atherosclerosis has been examined extensively. Significant improvement has been reported by several investigators at dosages of 2 g twice daily, typically for at least three months. While arterial dilation may be a factor, it has been postulated that reduction in fibrinogen, improvement in blood viscosity, and resultant improvement in oxygen transport are involved in the therapeutic effects. IHN appears to have application in the treatment of other conditions resulting from peripheral vascular insufficiency, including restless legs syndrome, stasis dermatitis, atherosclerosis related migraines, and hypertension.

Rep. Pete Stark
Madam Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Moina Shaiq, the 2008 Woman of Achievement award recipient designated by California's Tenth Senate District. Moina is an exemplary community leader in the 13th Congressional District. She will receive her award on Saturday, April 5, 2008, from California State Senator Ellen Corbett.
Moina and her husband, Mohammed, have been residents of Fremont, CA, for the past 25 years and are the parents of four children. She has bachelor degrees in economics and psychology. Moina was a small business owner from 1991 to 1997. After the birth of her daughter, Samah, she chose to stay home and become more involved in community affairs. She has since been involved in a major way and has contributed tireless hours, making a positive difference in her community.
Numerous organizations continue to benefit from Moina's commitment, expertise and talents. She is a co-founder of the Muslim Support Network, established to improve the health and well-being of elders in the Muslim communities of Union City, Newark, and Fremont; serves as chair of the Fremont City Human Relations Commission; is a member of the Washington Hospital Foundation; and was a founder of the Muslim Spiritual Care Program for Kaiser Permanente.
Moina serves on the board of the Tri City Elder Coalition, coordinates the Community Ambassadors Program for Seniors and volunteers her service to the Palo Alto Medical Foundation's Citizens Advisory Committee, the Tri-City Interfaith Council, the Fremont Alliance for a Hate Free Community and the American Cancer Society.
I join the family, friends and admirers of Moina Shaiq who will gather on April 5 to commend her for her tireless volunteer efforts. The honor she will receive as the 2008 Woman of Achievement award is well deserved. She continues to set the standard for community service and is a model to follow.

Bainbridge comes from behind to beat Hazen in football
Sam Kallas scored two crucial fourth-quarter touchdowns for Bainbridge Island in an amazing come-from-behind win against Hazen Thursday night.
Bainbridge won by a point, 21-20, at Renton Stadium.
The Highlanders were in front 20-7 going into the final stanza, but Kallas' late-game heroics turned the non-conference game around.
Kallas scored six on a pick, returning an interception 40 yards for a touchdown that brought Bainbridge to 20-13.
After Bainbridge recovered an onside kick, Kallas pulled in a touchdown pass from Spartan quarterback Paimon Jaberi.
The Spartan defense held the Highlanders scoreless on Hazen's final possession of the game.
