Until two years ago, the Roman Catholic diocese of Palm Beach, Fla., ran audits of its parishes only when they changed pastors. It was a risky, even foolhardy policy when you consider that a parish like St. Vincent Ferrer Catholic Church, in Delray Beach, hadn't changed pastors in 40 years. In September 2003, upon the retirement of St. Vincent's pastor, the Rev. John Skehan, diocesan accountant Denis Hamel dutifully showed up to inspect the books and the procedures for counting Sunday collections. The new pastor, the Rev.

"Writing is dull and unglamorous stuff," says Rubin. "For most people, it's really pretty miserable. But if you write 30 songs, there's a better chance that the 10 on your album will be better than if you just write...
...Magnetic Wonder” is The Apples In Stereo’s first full-length album in five years. The band produced five records between 1996 and 2002 and fans have long wondered what was holding up the latest release by Denver’s answer to the Beach Boys. Internal drama? Too many side projects? Too much basking in the glory of appearing on The Powerpuff Girls’ LP? Not quite. Shuffling between five cities, the band’s guitarist/vocalist Robert Schneider was busy making up his own scale.
