In a national poll released Thursday, Quinnipiac University found no significant voter opposition to background checks for all gun buyers.
It didn't take long for commentator J. Cullens to pass the background check when he bought a gun in December.
But after the mass shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut, he's not sure if buying a firearm in Louisiana should be so easy.
Three days before the Newtown shootings, I purchased a new hand gun from Cabela's.
I went into the store, it was a Tuesday afternoon, it was pretty busy; I had to pull a number to see a clerk.
I picked out a 9mm Glock 19, asked to buy it.
I was thinking I was going to have to wait before they let me leave the store with it, but, somewhat to my surprise, they directed me to a computer screen and instructed me to answer about a dozen questions regarding my citizenship, whether I had ever been convicted of a felony, domestic abuse – pretty straight forward. It took me about five minutes or less to answer.
About a half hour – probably less than a half hour later – my name was called. I was told I passed the background check and they handed me my new Glock.
The next week, I wanted to get my son a guitar for Christmas, so I went to the Guitar Center, looked around saw the perfect Gibson Les Paul in the used area, picked it out, walked up to the counter expecting to leave with it just like I left with my Glock.
But I was told that there was, according to Louisiana law, a 30-day hold placed on used guitars. I had to put the guitar on layaway and come back about two weeks after Christmas.
So although I had my new gun for Christmas, my son had to wait until after Christmas for his guitar.
And this experience made me wonder, especially after the Newtown shootings makes me wonder whether, if as a matter of Louisiana law we have got to wait 30-days to get our hands on a used guitar, maybe just
maybe we can wait 30 days to get a new gun.
J. Cullens is an attorney in Baton Rouge. He is also an underwriter of WRKF and a member of the station's board of directors.

"Now is the time to make supply chain investments." –Dwight Klappich, research vice president, the Gartner Group
While the global economic recession wreaked untold havoc on transportation and logistics providers near and far, in another respect, it's been a boon to shippers by significantly reduced many supply chain costs and concerns. Freight capacity became plentiful, inventory carrying costs dropped, etc. – all great news to long-stressed supply chain professionals (those that found they still had jobs, of course.)
Yet that's all at best temporary, warned Dwight Klappich, research vice president for global information technology research firm the Gartner Group. In a presentation here at software provider Manhattan Associates annual user group meeting (dubbed Momentum 2010) Klappich said for all intents in purposes we're in the "eye of the hurricane" when it comes to supply chain stresses – meaning difficult challenges lay ahead.
"In our ongoing surveys, we still find a high percentage of companies regard the supply chain as a 'necessary evil' of sorts to their business," he said – and he believes that attitude thus gives short shrift not only to a huge bottom line costs but to a potential "competitive advantage" of sorts as well.
Gartner's done a detailed survey over the last three years to get some insight into how shippers and logistics providers deal with supply chain issues. Its 2009 study garnered responses from 340 supply chain professionals in the U.S. across a wide range of business – CPG (17%), logistics providers (15%), high tech (10%), retail (10%), etc.
On balance, Gartner found that 55% tend to be "mainstream" and 32% "conservative" when it comes to trying new supply chain strategies or deploying new technologies, with another 24% saying supply chains themselves – while important – are not a key differentiator from their competitors.
[You can watch Klappich discuss some of these findings below – sorry for the video quality; low light levels play havoc with video!]
That being said, the group's study also found something else – increasing productivity is new watchword among supply chain professionals, replacing costs reduction as the top concern.
"This says to us that costs have been cut probably as much as they can – now everyone is trying to realign their supply chains to maintain those low costs," Klappich said. That also backs the theory of a "jobless" economic theory, he noted, as it means shippers in particular are indicating they don't want to hire staff in order to beef up their supply chains as growth returns.
"They don't want to have to hire 20 people or build up inventory to accommodate increased demand," Klappich explained. "That's a focus heading out to 2012 and it's why we think this is another indicator of a 'people-less' recovery."
Some other interesting issues – forecasting ability remains a huge concern, with 58.53% of respondents making it number one on the worry list, followed by growing supply chain complexity (41.76%) and lack of internal cross-functionality (38.53%)
Klappich said this is surprising, as much of the last 20 years of supply chain work has focused on dealing with those three areas – and so, by extension, if they remain top concerns, has any of that investment been worth it?
Going forward, Klappich thinks 2010 will be a "transitional year" for supply chain managers as a turbulent economy starts to stabilize and grow again. Fuel prices are already rising – diesel hitting an 18-month high this week – and freight capacity is tightening fast.
[Klappich talks more about that caapcity issue in the clip below.]
"There are no trucks parked along the fences waiting to roll like in the aftermath of most recessions," he noted. "A lot of that excess capacity is permanently gone. That creates new challenges supply chain professionals must manage."
As a result, Klappich thinks more shippers are going to continue to streamline their supply chains, looking for ways to boost productivity and efficiency without adding infrastructure and assets. That means using more technology to manage the process as well as searching for new ways to connect with logistics providers.
For example, he said many shippers that outsource are not necessarily going to bring supply chain control all back in house, but want to move away from pure third party logistics (3PL) reliance. "There's a view that continuous process improvement on the part of 3PLs benefits the 3PLs bottom line and not the customer," he explained. "That's why many shippers are looking more for an 'agent' relationship when more of those savings are shared."
Finally, more risks will need to be taken, stressed Klappich, in terms of trying new methods and technologies if shippers expect to derive productivity gains and other benefits from their supply chains. "Many industries are reluctant to change, but it's happening," he said, pointing in one instance to a group of hospitals forming a joint supply chain company to help lower all of their costs.
"Even universities are exploring new supply chain ventures, to better manage the costs of furniture being delivered to dormitories, for example," he said. "There's a lot of innovation going on in supply chain management from 'non-traditional' areas."
That's what he thinks will be necessary in order to deal with the challenges that will arise on the other side of this "eye" of the global economic storm.

How to create your own at-home gym
It doesn't usually take too many excuses to convince yourself that you can't make it to the gym or fit that workout in. Then when winter comes around, it only gets harder. The idea of getting up early or going out later in the day to face the cold on your way to the gym doesn't sound pleasant.
So here's your solution – your very own mini gym at home! Of course, you don't want to go out and buy massive exercise machines, but there is plenty of small equipment available that you can use to create your own at-home workouts.
If you don't know where to start when it comes to buying equipment, here's a list of items that will help you get the ball rolling:
- Kettle bells
- Resistance bands
- Exercise ball
- Dumbbells
- Aerobic step
- Jump rope
- Ab wheel
- Fitness mat
Here are some top picks for at home gym equipment that won't break your bank account.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb men's soccer team will host Nashville neighbor Belmont for the Bisons first home Atlantic Sun match of 2011, Sunday night at 7 p.m. The Bisons return to the Lipscomb Socccer Complex for the first time in 2011 following the completion of the lighting expansion project.
Lipscomb got a big boost last weekend by defeating then 22nd-ranked ETSU 2-1. Not only was the victory Lipscomb's first-ever against a ranked team, the win exorcised some of Lipscomb's demons against the Bucs. ETSU defeated Lipscomb twice in 2010, including the Bisons season-ending loss to ETSU in the A-Sun semifinals.
The Bisons feel better going into this weekend about an offense that had languished through the early parts of the season. Seniors Andrew Chamberlain and Garret Pettis and sophomore Nick Bibb each contributed goals last weekend for the purple-and-gold attack.
Sunday's match will be a "Coaches vs. Cancer" event; Lipscomb will be raffling off a framed, signed soccer jersey with all proceeds going to fund cancer research. Admission will be $5 (free to Lipscomb students) and inflatable games will be provided for kids. The game will be part of the "BlackOut" weekend, with spectators encouraged to wear black.
Next weekend, the Bisons will continue home action when they take on Jacksonville (Friday, Oct. 14, 7 p.m.) and North Florida (Sunday, Oct. 16, 2 p.m.).
Check LipscombSports.com for more information on the Bison soccer team, and be sure to follow us on Twitter (@LUMSoccer) and like us on Facebook (Lipscomb University Men's Soccer Team).
Opponent's Last Outings
Belmont jumped to the top of the Atlantic Sun standings during the opening week of play, defeating 22nd-ranked ETSU, 3-1, and playing to a scoreless tie with USC Upstate. Juniors Brandon Tarr (two goals against ETSU) and Lou Manning (14 saves, 1 shut-out, earned win over ranked ETSU) earned A-Sun Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week Awards.
Last Time Against This Weekend's Opponents
Pettis and Joey Chiappetta scored two goals apiece, while Kevin Barbar and Bibb added one each in a 6-2 Lipscomb rout of Belmont, Oct. 14 2010. Chiappetta earned two of his seven assists in this one as well. Lipscomb scored three times in the game's opening 15 minutes. Brent McGee made four saves to earn the win.
Upset Special: Bisons Knock Off ETSU For First-Ever Win Against Ranked Foe
Bibb and Pettis did the scoring and McGee made three saves to lead Lipscomb to a 2-1 victory against 22nd-ranked ETSU. The Bisons were helped by a handball in the box by ETSU's Blaike Woodruff inside the 18-yard box, which earned him an ejection and Lipscomb a penalty kick that Pettis converted for the game-winning goal. The victory was the first for Lipscomb over a ranked foe in program history.
Offense Goes Silent in A-Sun Opener at Upstate
Chamberlain scored his season's first goal, but USC Upstate put two on the board in the first half and added another in the 84th minute to clinch a 3-1 victory. Lipscomb fell despite outshooting the Spartans 20-9, but Upstate's Jason McCabe made six saves compared to two for McGee.
McGee Among the Elite
McGee has been stellar in his final season at Lipscomb. In addition to being third in the conference in saves (45), the Parkersburg, W. Va. native is 24th nationally in the category, and ranks 99th in saves per game at 3.75.
Around the Conference
- Belmont and Upstate lead the A-Sun with four points apiece after a win and a tie last weekend. Florida Gulf Coast, which broke into the top-25 this week, is tied with Jacksonville, Mercer and Lipscomb with three points. ETSU, which was ranked 22nd in the country last week, is the only A-Sun team entering this weekend with two losses.
- Pettis, the conference's active leading scorer, is tied for first in the A-Sun with 30 shots and third with four goals. The four goals puts him at a tie for 86th in the nation.

Can I admit something?
...and then there was the excitement surrounding my belly button. It's an inny, and everyone knows that at some point in your pregnancy, your belly button pops like a turkey timer and becomes an outy.
I imagined that magical day, perhaps a little too vividly, for I had grandiose ideas of what that transformation from inny to outy would entail. See [blushing], I kind of naively thought that 30 years' worth of accumulated stuff would come rocketing out and that Chuck and I would be able to rifle through it and exclaim, "So that's where that extra key went!" or "I thought Tiger ran off years ago."
But you know what? It doesn't work like that. Some innies, like mine, just widen in span, morphing and growing into Grand Canyons of belly buttons. With pregnancy #2 it's even more expansive.
I feel kind of jipped. I'll never know if something incredibly valuable could have fallen in there without my knowing. Like an original Declaration of Independence! Gold! Pictures of Lost Continent of Atlantis!
Or, lint. Ok, fine, it's just lint.
Grumble, grumble. Don't look at me like that. It's not like I just admitted I wear nipple tassels.
Heh. Heh.
Anyway, thanks for, um, listening. We now return to our regularly scheduled broadcast: Mrs. Mullet Should Probably Get Out More.
(Pssst. Yah, you. I know you have something weird you want to admit now too. Go on, do it!)

My childhood umbilical hernia never healed - how do I know this? Well, whenever I was pregnant (3 times) my big belly aggravated the hernia. Sooo, I had to tape a 50 cent piece over my belly button for the last 3 months of each pregnancy to keep the hernia in. True story!

It takes just minutes -- and a little creative thinking -- to inject new, gift-worthy energy into this old tradition. An easy-to-stash brag book speaks louder than boasts. A photo flip book puts videotaped memories magically in motion. A tin full of favorite handwritten recipes perpetuates family traditions. And party favors crafted from snapshots along with laugh-out-loud recollections set the mood for what's sure to be a memorable celebration.
Brag Book
Use double-sided plastic binder sheets made to hold sports cards. For a larger book, you can instead use 3 sheets made to hold 4-by-6-inch photos, trimming just the punched edges.
To create a 12-photo book, trim 3 sets of side-by-side pockets from a double-sided sports-card sheet; each resulting sheet will hold 4 photos, 2 on each side. To make the cover, cut a rectangle from oilcloth, heavy fabric, or leather, making it 1/8 inch larger on all sides than photo sleeves. (If using oilcloth or fabric, cut 2 rectangles and glue wrong sides together. Let dry.) Center and stack sleeves inside cover. Sew along the middle seam that divides the 2 sides of the photo pockets, attaching sleeves to cover. Attach an eyelet to front cover; slip a loop of elastic cord, about the same length as the book's perimeter, through eyelet, knotting the loop on the inside of the cover to make a band closure. Slip snapshots in sleeves.
Party Tags
Favorite snapshots of birthday or anniversary celebrants can easily be transformed into party decorations, gift tags, and favors.
Using photo-editing software, scan, size, and print images onto card stock. With scissors and a tag-shaped punch or template, cut printouts into tags. Stack tags, and use a small hole punch to make holes at the top.
If desired, trim a cover from decorative paper, and write a personal message on the image, or stamp with an initial or the birthday or anniversary numeral. Attach an eyelet through the punched holes, and tie with ribbon to napkins or a gift, or use tiny brads to hold several photos together for conversation-starting tag-book favors.
Recipe Box
Keep treasured dishes in the family by scanning and printing original recipes from everyone's most beloved cook and handing them out at the next reunion. Annotate with recollections to add personal flavor.
Scan and size recipes and photos with photo-editing software, and print onto card stock. Cut to size, and place in tins. Wrap tins with a wide band of paper printed with a colorful pattern (scanned vintage kitchen linens work well) and a portrait of the cook.
Collected-Memories Book
Compiling "remember when" moments in an album and presenting them to a friend makes the bonds even stronger. Use our template with the headings "How We Met," "My Favorite Memory," and "Our Biggest Laugh," or make and write your own.
Print template in multiples, trim to size, and distribute to contributors with a deadline and self-addressed stamped envelopes, also requesting photos and friend-related memorabilia. Insert responses into transparent sleeves in a book, and present the honoree with what's sure to be a much-cherished trip down memory lane.
Memory Flip Book
A video of a baby's first steps, a tossed wedding bouquet, or a less-than-perfect attempt at a high dive can be transformed into a keep-at-hand photo flip book for repeated enjoyment.
Websites such as flipclips.com will turn a 10- to 30-second digital video clip into a palm-size tome with pages that, when leafed through quickly, re-create the big event. Choose from a range of sizes and custom-cover options. The smallest flip books, 3 1/2 by 2 inches, are perfect party favors and can be slipped into muslin drawstring bags.

More than two weeks ago, 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick got his new contract. Full analysis of the contract suggested that Kaepernick got hosed.
Exacerbating the problem was a misguided effort by the Kaepernick camp to make the numbers look bigger than they are, worth "up to $126 million" and carrying $61 million guaranteed.
On the final day of the team's mandatory minicamp, Kaepernick addressed the perception (reality) that the 49ers got the much better end of the bargain.
"You can skew things however you want," Kaepernick told reporters. "At the end of the day, a lot of the way the contract is set up is how every other quarterback's contract is set up. And the things that aren't set up like those contracts are because we wanted them that way so we can sign other players. . . . It was very deliberate by [my] agents, the organization and myself that we want things done this way so we can keep a solid team here."
Kaepernick still hasn't explained how the deal helps the 49ers sign other players, apart from the obvious fact that it pays him well below top-of-the-market value in the first few years and that, by the time his annual averages moves toward the top of the current market, ongoing spikes in the salary cap will keep the deal in the middle of the pack.
In 2013, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady did a much-publicized team friendly five-year deal. And he received $30 million at the time he signed it. Kaepernick committed for two more years — and got $18 million less to sign.
Nearly $50 million in the rest of Kaepernick's supposedly "guaranteed" money isn't fully guaranteed. It's guaranteed only if he has a career-ending injury, and he has been required to buy a $20 million insurance policy payable to the team in the event that happens.
The money becomes fully guaranteed over the next five years, with the 49ers having the ability in each and every year to move on from Kaepernick — and to wait until the end of March to make a decision.
The end of March. Every year. The 49ers can explore all other options in free agency and trades, and the team can do a lot of its pre-draft homework before having to renew vows with Kaepernick. If/when the team decides to go in a different direction, Kaepernick could end up on the market after the money has flowed in free agency, and after all other teams have addressed their needs at the quarterback position.
As a result, Kaepernick needs to keep playing at a high level, year in and year out. Kaepernick acknowledged on Thursday that he is betting on himself with that arrangement.
The far better bet would have been to go all in for 2014, telling the 49ers, "Let's talk after the season." He opted to take the money now, and as a result he took a lot less than he could have gotten. Now he has to keep playing at a high level in order to get everything he has been promised.
Otherwise, there will be a flurry of blurbs in 2017 or so regarding Kaepernick's public lament that the 49ers did him wrong by waiting so long to cut him.

Paul Newman is one great guy. I met him on several occasions in the 80's when he lived in the Malibu Colony. This guy has gone about his life, not on the front page of every magazine promoting his charitable self, yet doing much behind the scenes. I watched him donate a huge sum of money to a drug prevention/awareness group in LA back then, having lost a child to addiction. Newman is the real deal. I hope he hangs around a lot longer, but he will go out the same way he lived his life. With class and dignity; something very hard to find in his industry. God speed Paul Newman. www.bobbyvassallo.org

Web services company KPI Consulting has launched a new division called developerprogram.com to provide a managed and completely outsourced developer program service initially to companies in the telecommunication sector.
KPI is hoping that this Program-as-a-Service offering will be welcomed as a relief for organizations who need to build a high quality developer program that offers real user value. The company says that its services will be offered at a cost level that is cheaper than a telco or (any other IT company) operating the required resources themselves.
In an attempt to justify its market proposition, the company says that in the wireless industry alone there are 210 wireless providers throughout the world -- with 180 of them located in America — and that currently, KPI Consulting has many of the top wireless carriers on its customer roster.
"The thought of building and running a successful developer program can make organizations feel very apprehensive," said Steve Glagow, developerprogram.com's VP of sales and marketing. "Having built-up successful developer programs from scratch, we fully understand the concerns many companies might have, so bringing together our experience with some of the best in the industry will show that it can be done well and with a high return-on-investment."
Ericsson, Bango, Ondeego and Navteq will be joining up with developerprogram.com to share their views with an invited audience about what makes a good developer program at the GSMA-run event Mobile World Congress 2011 in Barcelona, Spain.

St. Paul VI, original name Giovanni Battista Montini, (born September 26, 1897, Concesio, near Brescia, Italy—died August 6, 1978, Castel Gandolfo; beatified October 19, 2014; canonized October 14, 2018; feast day September 26), Italian pope (reigned 1963–78) during a period including most of the Second Vatican Council (1962–65) and the immediate postconciliar era, in which he issued directives and guidance to a changing Roman Catholic Church. His pontificate was confronted with the problems and uncertainties of a church facing a new role in the contemporary world.
Early life and career
The son of a middle-class lawyer—who was also a journalist and local political figure—and of a mother belonging to the same social background, Montini was in his early years educated mainly at home because of frail health. Later he studied in Brescia. Ordained a priest on May 29, 1920, he was sent by his bishop to Rome for higher studies and was eventually recruited for the Vatican diplomatic service. His first assignment, in May 1923, was to the staff of the apostolic nunciature (papal ambassador's post) in Warsaw, but persistent ill health brought him back to Rome before the end of that same year. He then pursued special studies at the Ecclesiastical Academy, the training school for future Vatican diplomats, and at the same time resumed work at the Vatican Secretariat of State, where he remained in posts of increasing importance for more than 30 years.
In 1939 Montini was appointed papal undersecretary of state and later, in 1944, acting secretary for ordinary (or nondiplomatic) affairs. He declined an invitation to be elevated to the Sacred College of Cardinals in 1953. In the beginning of November 1954, Pope Pius XII appointed him archbishop of Milan, and Pope John XXIII named him a cardinal in 1958. He was elected pope on June 21, 1963, choosing to be known as Paul VI.
Vatican II and Paul VI's pontificate
The Montini pontificate began in the period following the difficult first session of the Second Vatican Council, in which the new pope had played an important, though not spectacular, part. His lengthy association with university students in the stormy atmosphere of the early days of the fascist regime in Italy, in combination with the generally philosophical bent of his mind—developed by a long-standing habit of extensive and reflective reading—enabled him to bring to the perplexing problems of the times an academic understanding, coupled with the knowledge derived from long years of practical diplomatic experience. Paul VI guided the three remaining sessions of the Second Vatican Council, often developing points he had first espoused as cardinal archbishop of Milan. His chief concern was that the Roman Catholic Church in the 20th century should be a faithful witness to the tradition of the past, except when tradition was obviously anachronistic.
Upon the completion of the council (December 8, 1965), Paul VI was confronted with the formidable task of implementing its decisions, which affected practically every facet of church life. He approached this task with a sense of the difficulty involved in making changes in centuries-old structures and practices—changes rendered necessary by many rapid transformations in the social, psychological, and political milieu of the 20th century. Paul VI's approach was consistently one of careful assessment of each concrete situation, with a sharp awareness of the many varied complications that he believed could not be ignored.
This prevalently philosophical attitude was often construed by his critics as timidity, indecision, and uncertainty. Nonetheless, many of Paul VI's decisions in these crucial years called for courage. In July 1968 he published his encyclical Humanae vitae ("Of Human Life"), which reaffirmed the stand of several of his predecessors on the long-smoldering controversy over artificial means of birth control, which he opposed. In many sectors this encyclical provoked adverse reactions that may be described as the most violent attacks on the authority of papal teaching in modern times. Similarly, his firm stand on the retention of priestly celibacy (Sacerdotalis caelibatus, June 1967) evoked much harsh criticism. Paul VI later likened the large numbers of priests leaving the ministry to a "crown of thorns." He also was disturbed by the growing numbers of religious men and women asking for release from vows or who were abandoning out of hand their religious vows.
From the very outset of his years as pope, Paul VI gave clear evidence of the importance he attached to the study and the solution of social problems and to their impact on world peace. Social questions had already been prominent in his far-reaching pastoral program in Milan (1954–63). During those years he had traveled extensively in the Americas and in Africa, centring his attention mainly on concern for workers and for the poor. Such problems dominated his first encyclical letter, Ecclesiam suam ("His Church"), August 6, 1964, and later became the insistent theme of his celebrated Populorum progressio ("Progress of the Peoples"), March 26, 1967. This encyclical was such a pointed plea for social justice that in some conservative circles the pope was accused of Marxism.
Apostolic journeys
In an address to the council fathers at the end of the first session of the Second Vatican Council, Cardinal Montini formulated a question that may be called the theme of his pastoral service as pontiff: "Church of Christ, what say you of yourself?" In an effort to answer this fundamental question, Paul VI undertook a series of apostolic journeys that were unparalleled occasions for a pope to set foot on every continent. His first journey was a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (January 1964), highlighted by his historic meeting with the Greek Orthodox patriarch of Constantinople, Athenagoras, in Jerusalem. At the end of that same year, he went to India, becoming the first pope to visit Asia. The following year (October 4, 1965), in the first visit by a pope to the United States, he delivered a moving plea for peace at a special session of the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York City and said mass at Yankee Stadium. In 1967 he undertook short visits to Fátima (Portugal) and to Istanbul and Ephesus (Turkey), a journey that had special ecumenical significance: a second meeting with Athenagoras in the patriarch's own episcopal city (Constantinople). In August 1968 the pope went to Bogotá, Colombia, and he appeared before the International Labour Organization and the World Council of Churches in Geneva in June 1969. The following month he was in Uganda, East Africa. In the autumn of 1970 he undertook the longest papal journey in modern history up to that time: 10 days spent in visits to Tehrān, Pakistan, the Philippines, Western Samoa (now Samoa), Australia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), each stop bringing Paul VI into personal contact with different peoples of the world. His arrival in Manila almost ended in tragedy: within minutes of his descent from the plane, an attempt was made on his life but with no serious injury.
The themes treated by Paul VI on these trips were basically the same: world peace, social justice, world hunger, illiteracy, brotherhood under God, and international cooperation.
Social and ecumenical interests
On January 6, 1971, in the Clementine Hall in the Vatican, Paul VI conferred the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize on the Albanian-born Mother Teresa, who had spent most of her life in India, where she had founded a special religious congregation of women dedicated to the alleviation of the countless ills of the poorest classes in the country. Paul VI declared on this occasion that the award was intended to centre attention on how even a humble individual without means can further world peace without fanfare, simply by proving in day-to-day action that "every man is my brother." Here, as in other instances, Paul's aim was to confront the world at large with the inescapable problems of justice and peace while at the same time proving conclusively that even these apparently insoluble problems can and must be settled with realistic courage and individual perseverance.
Paul VI's human concern found further expression in his efforts to lessen the long-standing tensions between the church of Rome and other churches and even with those professing no religion at all. He sought out closer understanding with numerous religious leaders throughout the world, both Christian and non-Christian, placing more emphasis on those aspects that unite the churches than on those that divide. To show that mutual acquaintance is at the very foundation of any plans or hopes for unity, Pope Paul met with prominent religious leaders from various communities in Great Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union as well as other countries. Paul VI also set up a special secretariat for nonbelievers, stressing the need of understanding and endeavouring to solve the problems posed by atheism.
Under his guidance the Roman Catholic Church drastically revised its legislation governing marriages between its own members and those who profess other faiths, expressing a firm desire to diminish the threat of human tragedy following possible clashes of individual consciences. For this reason Paul VI's motu proprio (a type of papal document) was welcomed and praised for its understanding of human problems and its desire to find a satisfactory solution to the problem of mixed marriages without demanding of either side any renunciation of basic principles of conscience.
In the rise of modern ecumenism, Paul VI saw excellent opportunities to encourage world brotherhood, which, he hoped, might further efforts for human well-being in the pursuit of happiness in unity of faith in God. On May 15, 1971, commemorating the 80th anniversary of Pope Leo XIII's encyclical Rerum novarum on the reform of the social order, Pope Paul issued a forceful apostolic letter, Octogesima adveniens, with particular insistence on the necessity of involvement of all human beings in the solution of the problems of justice and peace. In 2012 Pope Benedict XVI declared that Paul had lived "a life of heroic virtue." Two years later he was beatified by Benedict's successor, Francis. He was canonized by Pope Francis in October 2018.Edward Louis Heston

Anti-equality and Tea Party favorite Rep. Allen West is welcome in the heavily LGBT town of Wilton Manors, Florida despite his "anti-gay, misogynist, and disreputable rhetoric" says City Commissioner Julie Carson. That's after the state Democratic Party's gay caucus threatened to boycott members of the Wilton Manors Business Association, which invited West to speak on August 8, reports the Sun Sentinel.
The event has been canceled, reports The Advocate.
The Wilton Manors Business Association in the South Florida district of the Tea Party favorite had invited West as a guest speaker. But that outraged the Florida Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Democratic Caucus, which sent a letter warning that if the event went forward, a boycott would ensue. West has said marriage must be between a man and a woman because it's intended for procreation, and he opposed repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
The event was canceled, so West wrote a disappointed letter to the group Monday. In it he said it was "intolerable" that gay activists "would call upon a boycott to hurt small business owners trying to earn a living and only wanting to better be informed about business related issues from their member of Congress. Clearly, we have learned who really are the intolerable individuals in South Florida."
West represents part of Wilton Manors along with pro-LGBT Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was recently elected chair of the Democratic National Committee.
West's wife came to congressman's defense in a letter posted at his official website. If the event had proceeded, Angela West wrote, because people who thought they knew her husband would have "discovered that Congressman West's close relative is gay and married to his partner --- we love and adore them both."
"Loves and adores" the gays, but refuses to support their equality in housing, employment, health benefits and relationship recognition.

If you are new to AbeBooks trying to find the single book you want out of the millions of rare and collectible books available can be a little daunting. Below are a few tips to help you easily find whatever you happen be looking for.
The most important thing you can do is include as much information about the book you are trying to find as possible, this will help reduce the number of false positive search results you will receive. By including the author, title, publisher and publication date into your searches so you can easily narrow search down to the specific edition of a title.
Include more details into your search via the advanced search box which is located by clicking the "More Search Options" link in a search box or "Advanced Search" on the red navigation bar at the top of the AbeBooks website.
If you are in the market for a first edition or collectible copy of a certain title but are unsure of all the publication details needed to detail your search more carefully one fast way to see what variety of stock is available is to change the sort order of your search to "highest price." Scan through the highest priced items to see what is on offer, once you locate the edition or characteristics you desire you can copy down the necessary bibliographic information and try searching again, this time to see if an equivalent copy can be found at a better price.
The highest first sort option is available in the "sort results by" drop box which is located just below the refinements box on the right hand side of your screen.
Again if you are not sure of all the bibliographic information for a book (ie publisher, publication date, etc) but know the cover that you desire you may wish to refine your search by "Bookseller supplied images." This will allow you to scroll through search results for the book title you want until you see the edition and publication with the desired cover art. Once you find the right edition copy the publication details and re-search to see if there are any other copies listed that are in better condition, are closer to you, or are cheaper.
The bookseller supplied images filter option is available in the "features" drop box which is located in the top left corner of the refinements box.
If ever you are unsure about a specific listing, and AbeBooks online glossary and help pages are unable to explain your quandary, you can always send the bookseller a message to ask for a photo of the item or for additional information about the book.
The Ask Bookseller a Question link is located on every listing in the search results below the "Book Description" on the far right side. It can also be found on every "Book Details Page" by clicking "Bookseller & Payment Information" and then "Ask Bookseller a Question".
Boolean searching on the internet essentially means using the words AND/OR/NOT within your searches to increase the accuracy of the results. An example of where this would be useful is if you wanted to find copies of 1984 by George Orwell but you do not wish to see Spark Notes study guides. This could be accomplished by bringing up "Advanced Search" entering "Orwell" into the Author field and "1984 NOT Spark Notes" into the Title and then turning "Boolean Searching" to on.
Sometimes you will be looking for a specific book for a long period of time, perhaps the book is very rare or perhaps you are particularly keen to find it for less than the current market value. Whatever the reason you may wish to search on AbeBooks by �Most Recently Listed�. By displaying books which have been most recently added to AbeBooks first you can sometimes spot a bargain before another collector.
The Most Recently Listed sort option is available in the �sort results by� drop box which is located just below the refinements box on the right hand side of your screen.
When you have searched for a book on AbeBooks and are, for whatever reason, unable to find it you can place a �Want� on this book. Enter the details for your search as normal. AbeBooks will then re-run this search several times a day and email you once someone has uploaded a book for sale which matches your search criteria. AbeBooks will continue to email matches until you decide to delete your want. It is very important that you make your want search as exact as possible and that you perform a search first to determine if any items are available.

10 Most Influential Female Nurses of All Time

Nurses impact lives every day. But once in a while, a nurse comes along who touches the lives of the world, and not just her patients. These women went above and beyond for the field of nursing. They served in wars, broke down racial barriers, and campaigned for women's rights. They have become role models for women everywhere, not just nurses. However, nurses can be especially proud to share a title with these 10 ladies.

Mary Eliza Mahoney
Mary Eliza Mahoney was the first African-American woman to become a nurse in the United States. Mahoney worked at the New England Hospital for Women and Children for 15 years before she was admitted into the adjacent nursing school. Mahoney dedicated her life to nursing, heading up the Howard Orphan Asylum for African-American children in New York. She was also one of the first members of the Nurses Associated Alumnae of the United States and Canada which later became the American Nurses Association.
In 1908, Mahoney co-founded the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses which eventually became part of the ANA. Each year, the ANA honors Ms. Mahoney with an award that represents her dedication to nursing and ending racial segregation. She has been inducted into both the ANA and National Women's Hall of Fame.

Cardinals Win 4 – 3 Over Phillies
Carlos Beltran hit a go-ahead homer in the eighth, Adam Wainwright pitched seven solid innings and the St. Louis Cardinals escaped a ninth-inning jam for a 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday night.
Philadelphia put runners at first and third with nobody out against Edward Mujica, but the fill-in closer retired three straight batters to preserve the victory.
Yadier Molina went 3 for 4 with two RBIs for the Cardinals, who had seven hits one night after getting held to Beltran's seventh-inning double in a 5-0 loss to A.J. Burnett and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Wainwright (3-1) wasn't as sharp as his previous start, when he pitched a four-hitter and matched a career high with 12 strikeouts Saturday in an 8-0 win over Milwaukee, but he was still effective.

Gartner, Inc. has identified what it believes will be the most important mobile applications in 2012. Focusing on high-end devices with an average selling price of more than $300, analysts have identified the top 10 cutting-edge technologies and trends for 2012.
Winning mobile apps will have unique features that cater to the mobile environment rather than act as a mobile extension of their online peers.
"Mobile applications will be a highly competitive marketplace that attracts the interest of many stakeholders," said Sandy Shen, research director at Gartner. "Increasingly, mobile applications will define the user experience on high-end devices and device vendors that proactively integrate innovative apps and technologies at the platform layer will have the competitive edge."
Mobile apps themselves will not only generate good revenue ($15.9 billion in expected end-user spending in 2012) but will also drive hardware sales, advertising spending and technology innovation. Gartner expects brand companies to increasingly shift their marketing budget to the mobile channel, and experiment with cutting-edge apps to capture marketing and sales opportunities. Companies, as well as technology and service providers, that stay abreast of the latest developments could make their products stand out from the pack, enhance brand image and retain user loyalty.
This slideshow highlights Gartner's top 10 consumer applications to watch in 2012.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Forward Tom Garlepp, who spent the last two basketball seasons at UC Santa Barbara, will transfer across town to play his final two collegiate seasons at Westmont College, Gaucho head coach Bob Williams announced Tuesday. Because Westmont is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), Garlepp will be eligible to play immediately.
Garlepp, a native of Perth, Australia, played two seasons at UCSB. As a sophomore in 2006-07, he played in 19 games and made seven starts. He averaged 3.4 points and 2.4 rebounds per game. Through the first eight games of the season, seven of which were starting assignments, Garrlepp averaged 6.0 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. He scored a season-high 11 points in a road win at Portland. He also had eight points and a career-high eight rebounds in a season-opening win over San Jose State and nine points in a win at Montana State. He also blocked 12 shots on the season, third on the team.
"I had a great time here," Garlepp said. "Things just didn't work out in terms of playing time. This will be an opportunity for me to play. I still have great relationships with everyone at UCSB, the players and the coaches, but I am excited for the opportunity to play for Coach (John) Moore and Westmont."
In his first season at UCSB, Garlepp played in 26 games and averaged 2.3 points and 2.1 rebounds per game. He scored a career-high 16 points against San Francisco, his first collegiate game. He also had a clutch 11-point performance in a home win over Long Beach State.
"I wish Tom all the best in his future," commented Williams. "He will be an outstanding addition for Westmont, not just as a player, but as a person as well. He was a great teammate here and he will be there as well."
Garlepp, who plays primarily the four spot, but also played at the five for UCSB, saw his playing time diminish as the 2006-07 season evolved. He began the season as the starter at the five but the emergence of junior Ivan Elliott and the return of senior Glenn Turner forced him into a reserve role at the four, playing behind All-Big West forward Chris Devine.
Despite the loss of Garlepp, the Gauchos should be well-stocked as they enter the 2007-08 season. Joining Devine and Elliott in the frontcourt will be 6-foot-9 Weber State transfer Nedim Pajevic and 6-foot-9 redshirt freshman Sam Phippen. In the backcourt, UCSB will return 6-foot-6 Alex Harris, a First Team All-Big West selection and the league's leading scorer in 2006-07, as well as James Powell and Justin Joyner, both members of the 2006-07 Big West All-Freshman Team.


text: Digital Shirley MacLaine Stops by a Birthday Party for Liz Smith By Diane Clehane|January 30, 2013Share By Diane Clehane|January 30, 2013Share I knew it was going to be quite the scene at Michael's today when a little birdie told me that there was going to be a lunch for Liz Smith celebrating the grand dame of gossip's upcoming birthday at Table One. Suffice to say I wasn't disappointed. None other than Shirley MacLaine stopped by to say hello to Liz (more on why later), and I got to chat with the legendary actress about her guest-starring stint on Downton Abbey. While the entire restaurant swiveled in our general direction, I jumped up from my seat to ask about her experience on PBS' smash hit and she couldn't have been more gracious. "I loved doing the show," she told me. "Everyone was so welcoming and great about everything. I was amazed that no matter what the weather — because it rained a lot when we were shooting — they all went on as if the sun was shining. They were wonderfully professional." Her character, Martha Levinson, appeared in only two episodes but left quite an impact on viewers — particularly when Martha sparred with Violet, the Dowager Countess played by the legendary Maggie Smith. "That was one of my favorite days on the set," Ms. MacLaine told me of the scene where she and Ms. Smith sat for hours in a church pew waiting for the ill-fated wedding of Lady Edith to begin. "We spent eight hours talking about life, and we never ran out of things to say." I bet. Before she dashed out the door — she only stayed long enough to say her hellos — I asked whether she'd be returning to the series and she said, "Yes. We start shooting soon. I'm looking forward to it." So are we. Liz Smith with her party pals and her armadillo cake Now, back to Liz's lunch (described as a "southern confab"), which Hearst's Deb Shriver put together with scribe Julia Reed and 'Mayor' Joe Armstrong. Deb was putting the finishing touches on the table, which included a bouquet of yellow roses arranged in Joe's Texas bronzed boot and a specially designed menu (fried chicken, collard greens and corn bread) featuring a photo of Liz at a year old. Liz and Joe have a long friendship that dates back to 1968 when Joe first arrived in New York and met the fellow Texan. They forged an unbreakable bond. "I didn't know one person when I came here and found out she was raised a block from where my mama grew up in Fort Worth. She was the only person I met who I thought didn't talk with an accent." The two have been great pals ever since. Shirley MacLaine stops by Michael's Southern belle Deb, who has written two fabulous books on New Orleans including the gorgeous Stealing Magnolias: Tales from a New Orleans Courtyard, surprised Liz with one of the most unusual birthday cakes ever served at Michael's or anywhere else for that matter, and had a Brooklyn baker recreate the Steel Magnolias armadillo red velvet cake. Ms. MacLaine, as you might recall, was one of the stars of the 1989 film, and she arrived with the film's screenwriter Robert Harling to jazz up the festivities. They departed before Michael's staff paraded through the dining room with the life-size armadillo on a platter, raising more than a few eyebrows. Clearly thrilled by the gesture, Liz was served the head of the baked beast while the rest of the guests dug into the 'carcass.' Mmm… yummy. I was seated at the very next table with jewelry designer Angela Cummings and Mickey Ateyeh. Before we even had a chance to order, diners were lining up to pay homage to Angela, a true legend in the jewelry biz, who now lives in Salt Lake City, Utah and is in town working on an exciting new project with fine jeweler Assael. Among the well wishers was David Patrick Columbia who, upon meeting Angela for the first time exclaimed, "You're a brand!" Dr. Gerald Imber stopped by the table to tell Angela that he wished she'd design another collection of men's cuff links since his favorite pair from her is now 12 years old. "I miss your things so much," he said. "Everything you designed always had such style and good taste." She may not be doing more cuff links any time soon, but she is about to unveil an absolutely gorgeous collection of couture pearl and diamond pieces with Assael.

At first blush, a school cafeteria sounds like the last place a well-known nonprofit would want to hold one of its most popular fundraisers. Then again, few school cafeterias are as snazzy as Kent Denver School's Dining Hall.
The $4.5 million, 20,000-square-foot building with bamboo floors and a "living wall" upon which herbs used in meals prepared for the Kent student body are grown, is the first LEED Platinum structure of its type in the United States. LEED Platinum is the highest level of recognition given for energy, efficiency, sustainability and design by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Salt on the Rim began as a summer garden party held in the back yard of Walt and the late Georgia Imhoff, two of Kempe's most dedicated supporters. It has enjoyed a steady growth; in 2010 it was held in a giant tent set up on the grounds of the Mike Shanahan estate in Cherry Hills Village.
Guests know they can count on value for their money. The evening includes food tasting stations, unlimited beverages and live music for dancing. This year's samplings were provided by 17 vendors, including Mezcal, Chinook Tavern, Kona Grill, the Saucy Noodle, Lifestyles Catering, Piatti and Pinkberry. Lime: An American Cantina, in cooperation with Sauza Tequila, offered the event's signature drink, the margarita.
The evening's gross income — $40,500 — came from tickets sold to the 300-plus in attendance, sponsorships and a pinata auction. The money goes to the Kempe Center for its work on behalf of children who are abused or neglected.
Co-chairs John Farnam, Paul Heitzenrater, Lawrence French and Gregory Sargowicki were especially pleased that the Kempe Center's new director, Dr. Des Runyan, who has only been on the job since the first of the month, was among the attendees. Another special guest was Pat Peterson, the Kempe Foundation's new president and chief executive officer.
Jack and Adrienne Ruston Fitzgibbons, who are chairing the Kempe Center's spring gala, Kempe Takes Tokyo, were there, too, along with Andy Boian, chair of the Kempe Center board; Sandee Walling, a co-president (with Farnam and Heitzenrater) of the Kempe Foundation Alliance; banker Jay Davidson and his wife, Kristina; stockbroker Paul Esserman; attorney Craig Fleishman and his wife, Layne; Dana and John Berry; attorney Franklin Azar and his wife, Jeanette; Louise Richardson; Dianne and Dr. Max Bartlett; Virginia Bray; Ron and Miriam Abreu; Dale and Karen Flowers; Marsha Temple; Keri Christiansen, Linda Goto and Lynn Bronikowski from The Denver Hospice; and Al and Terri Fisher. Her 5 S/tar Talent and Entertainment sponsored the band Soul School, which played throughout the night.

Katy Perry tipped a girl and she liked it -- then she tipped more -- dropping STACKS on hot strippers after the Super Bowl Sunday night ... and to make it even more awesome, her BF John Mayer was there too.
We're told Katy and John stopped by Spearmint Rhino in Santa Barbara around 11pm Sunday night after the Seahawks devastated the Broncos.
We're told Katy and John spent in the thousands, tipping the girls BIG and getting multiple private dances. Katy even took photos with the girls.

Social media data is increasingly becoming an invaluable asset for marketing teams, and businesses are regularly coming up with new and exciting ways to make use of this data.
But London-based law firm Kemp Little warns that restrictions on use of social media data are becoming an "elephant in the room," because so few organisations are aware of their legal obligations when it comes to handling this kind of data.
Social media data applies to any information generated in connection with social activities online. This could be demographic data (name/age/gender/religion), location data (where a person is at a given time), interaction data (friendship groups/level of activity/engagement), or preferences (interests/buying habits/opinions).
In some cases, organisations can obtain anonymised data from social channels, with which they can gain aggregated insights about customers or target groups. In this case the data cannot be linked back to any particular individuals for targeting purposes.
In other cases, user data is obtained directly from social networks such as Facebook – for example, through apps, brand page metrics, registration through Facebook Connect, or plugins (such as the Facebook 'Like' button). In these cases, the data can be traced back to particular individuals.
Data Protection
When dealing with this second category of social media data, there are several considerations that organisations need to be aware of. For example, all social media data is subject to Data Protection laws, meaning that it should only be obtained for a specific purpose and should not be kept for longer than is necessary.
Another question is around ownership of the data. Organisations must find out whether there is any intellectual property contained within the data, and if so whether it is subject to copyright or confidentiality regulations.
Most social media companies attempt to deal with these issues in their terms and conditions. For example, Facebook's T&Cs state that "you will only request the data you need to operate your application," and "you must obtain explicit consent from the user provided the data to us before using it for any purpose other than displaying it back to the use on your application".
However, Suzy Schmitz, senior associate at Kemp Little, warns that the language used by these social media platforms is often ambiguous, and the terms tend to change from time to time – often without notifying the relevant organisation.
"There is likely to be a disconnect between what the terms say you should do, and the data that you are easily about to access," she said.
Organisations that get this wrong, and end up using social media data inappropriately, are at risk of both reputational damage and potential legal repercussions. They therefore need to take extra care to ensure that they are complying with all the necessary regulations.
Kemp Little recommends that any organisation that is planning to extend their use of social media data should keep the legal department in the loop and ensure that social media data is kept separate from other data.
Above all, they should not rely on developers or agencies to stick within the rules, because the people developing the applications tend to be focused on providing the best functionality, rather than ensuring compliance with legal regulations.
This is a job for whoever's brand is on the line.
