In order to fall under the umbrella of the "financially responsible," most people know they need to start financial planning early, keep a diversified portfolio, and stave off debt. However, despite best intentions, these goals are not always easily accomplished. In most cases, the culprit is simply life getting in the way. Car repairs, home improvements, and unexpected job losses all seem to come together to put a kink in even the most well-laid financial plans.
To keep yourself closer to the financial finish line, there are a few common financial pitfalls you can avoid. Although you may fall short of the goal from time to time, knowing where you stand and where you are poised to land are incredibly valuable in being financially sound for the long term.
Thinking It Is Too Late
The best financial advice taps into individuals in their twenties, when there is little debt, few obligations, and a high potential of earnings. Unfortunately, few of us are ever the financially responsible adults we want to be straight out of college. It's important to remember that no matter where you are on your financial journey – one of the lucky few in their twenties or one of the more common forty-somethings realizing that their savings account just isn't what it used to be – it is never too late to get started saving for retirement or even for a down payment on a home. Doing nothing is the only way to guarantee that you'll have nothing.
Thinking You Have More Time
On the flip side of the coin, you must also do everything in your power to get started investing right away. Although no one is going to berate you for failing to start saving twenty years ago, it doesn't do any good to wait another twenty to get started. It doesn't matter if you have thousands of dollars in debt or are switching jobs for the sixth time in as many years. Meet with a financial advisor right now to learn what your next steps should be.
Not Looking Far Enough Ahead
Some beginners make the mistake of investing money only to realize a few years later that those funds are needed somewhere else. Consider the time frame of each and every investment you make. Few advisors will recommend touching money in the stock market before five years is up, but a money market account or certificates of deposit can turn around quicker than that. You'll also need to remember that most investments do much, much better if they are left alone. Trading in and out of the market or changing your mind frequently can comes with fee or other monetary setbacks. Like a good wine, investments tend to get better with age.

Women, Divorce, and Smart Financial Decisions
Wednesday, 27 June 2012 17:34 Published in Financial Literacy
Divorce and its financial challenges are an issue almost no woman wants to face. After all, during divorce proceedings, not only is a woman considering the financial future of herself and her family, but she's also dealing with the emotional aftermath of the dissolution of a marriage. It can be a difficult time for everyone involved, and a messy financial situation will only make things worse.
Unfortunately, no matter how mutual or cut-and-dry the legal proceedings of a divorce are, there are complications when it comes to short-term and long-term finances. The best thing women can do to prepare themselves is to take financial issues one step at a time, working with an advisor they trust to help them start looking ahead to a brighter future.
After Divorce: The First Steps
Once everything has been divided up, it is necessary to re-title or transfer all of the "big ticket" items, including property, houses, cars, wills, insurance, credit cards, and bank accounts. It's important to get these things out of the way first, since you don't want to be held liable for any delinquent payments or unaccounted spending on behalf of your ex-spouse. The same is true for any issues related to bankruptcy; if there is a chance of either partner filing, it's important to do it either before the divorce occurs or very soon thereafter. That's because it is possible for one ex-spouse's bankruptcy to affect the other's financial situation, since he or she may be held liable for defaulted loans.
Along these same lines, it's important to amend existing retirement plans, including IRAs and 401(k) accounts. When possible, these should be a part of the divorce settlement, since they incorporate a very large portion (if not all) of your financial future as far as retirement goes.
After Divorce: Looking Ahead
Getting your finances settled after a divorce can take years. Not only are most women adjusting to a new home and new income, but many of them are also figuring out how to balance work and child care, as well. This means that you may not consider yourself ready to start planning a savings and retirement plan until five or ten years have gone by and you are on your feet, so to speak.
This is a mistake. Although you might not have the funds ready to start investing right away, it's always best to at least meet with a financial advisor who can help you determine your goals and next steps. Whether you want to set a retirement plan into action or find a way to build a savings account that will give you – and your newly emerged family – some freedom from financial worries, it's always best to start right away.
Although there are rarely very many silver linings to a divorce, it does give many women a chance to start taking proactive control over their future. Sure, it may take a few years before you start to feel settled enough to really tackle stocks, bonds, risk assessments, and portfolio diversification, but divorced women are among those best suited for smart financial decisions – if only because they're being forced to ask the hard questions and take a good look at what they want out of their lives.

When choosing to invest your money, you want to invest wisely. Unlike saving money, which occurs when you put money away to grow while protecting your initial principle, investing money involves a certain amount of risk to your initial principle in order to generate a return on investment.
Unfortunately, no investment is without risk. A basic rule on investing is "the higher the risk, the higher the potential return." The risk in investment can vary depending on the opportunity and how comfortable an investor is with the risk. And while risk can be a good thing, there are times when you should be wary of the options being presented to you.
In today's financial world, greed is a driving factor for making bad investment decisions. All too often, the idea of quick and easy money is a siren song for the average investor, especially when it seems that everyone around you is cashing in. Of course, investment fads can and have made people money. For example, the dot-com boom of the 1990s certainly made its share of millionaires. However, it's important to remember that more people lost money in the subsequent dot-com bust.
How can you tell if an investment opportunity is a fad? Consider the following traits:
Changing Rules - When the dot-com boom hit in the late 1990s, it was touted as "the new economy," and many people said that it would change economics. It did not and instead went bust, along with many investors' hopes and dreams. Whenever an investment is said to be changing the rules, it is most likely an exaggeration. This means that other aspects of the investment might be exaggerated, as well.
Biggest Thing - If everyone and their grandmother is talking about what a "sure thing" a particular investment opportunity is, do not take their word for it. Where to invest your money is a serious decision and there is no such thing as a "sure thing" in the investment world. Otherwise, everyone would be millionaires.
Experts Disagree - When in doubt, listen to established investment experts. If established experts in the field are not jumping on board with a new investment idea, there is probably a reason. They know the industry better than anyone else, and if they aren't behind an investment opportunity, it's probably not a valid one.
If you think that the investment opportunity that you have found may be a fad, be cautious. All too often, investors can be dazzled by the promises of easy investments with huge returns either instantaneously or within a very short time frame. Be wary of investment opportunities that promise a huge return with little risk over a short period of time. As the saying goes, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is."
If you are still unsure on whether or not an investment opportunity is a fad, consult an expert on the issue, such as your financial advisor. Your financial advisor can help you make balanced, strategic decisions about your investment portfolio and help you to avoid the pitfalls of investment fads.

The Benefits of Setting Financial Goals
Wednesday, 27 June 2012 17:32 Published in Financial Literacy
If you don't know how much you are saving or when you will be able to retire, it's time to look at the benefits of setting financial goals. It's important to look at what your future plans are, how much you can contribute to them, and how you plan to manage and grow your wealth. By working with a financial advisor to formulate a plan, you can be secure in the knowledge that your investments are growing appropriately and that you will be able to retire comfortably when you are ready.
Financial Goals in a Tough Economy
The economy is tough right now, and many people are cutting back on their savings and investments. At the same time, with stock prices dropping, many stocks and funds can be had for a very low cost. While no one can guarantee that they will rise in price, a qualified financial advisor can help you to determine you best bets. No matter how much cash you can spare these days, there are investments that you can make that will put your future in good stead. The benefits of setting financial goals don't have to go by the wayside when times are tough. Now, more than ever, you need to stick to your plan.
Visualizing the Financial Future
Now that we are discussing money, what are your goals? Do you want to retire in ten years? Do you have kids to put through college? Do you want to keep working but have the funds to take extensive vacations? No matter what financial goals you have, they take money, and for most of us, that means planning. One of the benefits of setting financial goals is knowing how much to set aside and how to grow it to meet your these goals. Planning how you see your future, however, is the first step.
Another important benefit of setting financial goals is that you get to reevaluate them. As time goes on your needs may change. You may love your job and not want to retire. Your daughter may have a full ride scholarship, and you won't have to pay for college. Your parents may need extra assistance in their golden years that you hadn't counted on. Life is always changing, and your financial plan should be flexible, as well.
Reassessing your goals means reassessing your investments, too. Riskier investments can pay off if you have a long time to grow a return, for example, but if you need a steady, reliable source of income, they may not be the best option. By reassessing your investments along with your goals you can make sure you are on the right track.
Moving Forward to Financial Success
There are many benefits to setting financial goals. You can plan for your future and ensure you'll have the security to retire when you want to. You can also reassess your goals and investments to make sure the plan for each is still what you need.
Along the way, it might be best to get some help from a qualified financial advisor to know for certain that you've made the best investments you can for your wealth. Life changes, and so should your plan—but if you account for this, you can make your goals work for you.

Taking control of your investments has never been easier, but there are some online investment frauds you should know about. There's a wealth of information online about stocks, companies, and their investment potential. Finding which information is worth paying attention to and which information is deceptive, however, can be tricky.
Frauds to Look Out For
One common investment fraud is when a site or emailed newsletter recommends hot stock picks that aren't actually hot—it's really just in someone else's best interests to get the stock sold. While not even true experts can promise a return on an investment, these recommendations aren't usually even smart picks. Many online newsletters will accept payments to tout certain stocks over others, and your portfolio may pay the real price for the misinformation. What complicates this issue is that there are legitimate newsletters offering expert picks on stocks, but weeding through all of the information can be time consuming. It's a good idea to check with your financial planner to see if there are sites or newsletters that he or she recommends.
Another common online investment fraud occurs on bulletin boards. If you are scoping the Internet for leads on good investments, you may come across sites where people are talking up a company or its assets. While it can be exciting to get in early on a good thing, these leads are usually false. People sometimes band together to spam a bulletin board and chat about a certain opportunity. It may look like a variety of people are recommending the prospect, when in reality this is a planned attack of misinformation geared to lure you into investing poorly. The opportunity, in all likelihood, is not the next big thing, even though the unscrupulous people behind the push to sell it want you to think it is.
How to Protect Yourself from Online Investment Frauds
• Learn how to acquire and analyze financial data. Public records can give you important data about the solvency and future of a company, and being able to review it puts you ahead of the pack.
• Check the stock history of the company and of other businesses the CEOs have run. Did those companies also make money? This can't tell you what the current company will do, but good management practices can make or break a business.
• Find a broker or financial expert to discuss stock choices with. With modern technology, you can choose how active you wish the expert to be in your portfolio, but the expert's goal is to make you money, especially since many of them make a percentage of your earnings.
And as the adage goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Look into potential investments with care, and ask the experts if you need to. Online investment frauds are out there, but with a bit of research and some healthy skepticism, you can make the most of your investments and your time.

For most investors, choosing an investment strategy is based mainly on which investments will give you the best return. This makes smart sense; after all, your goal is to make money.
However, many of today's investors have become increasingly more conscious and concerned with how their investment money is being utilized, and some investors are choosing a broader scope of investment. In addition to building wealth, more investors are turning to socially responsible investing to ensure that their investments are financially, morally, and ethically sound.
What is Socially Responsible Investing?
While the goal of any type of investment is to generate a return for the investor, socially responsible investing looks at more than just the return potential when deciding where to invest – it also factors in a company's social impact. Socially responsible investing (SRI) may take into consideration factors like a company's governance, environmental and/or social policies, political involvement, etc. Socially responsible investing has also been called mission investing, double or triple bottom line investing, ethical investing, sustainable investing, or green investing.
Socially responsible investing currently accounts for an estimated $2.71 trillion out of the $25.1 trillion U.S. investment marketplace, according to the Social Investment Forum.
What is Involved in Socially Responsible Investing?
When researching socially responsible investment opportunities, investors may take one or more of the following approaches:
Investors evaluate opportunities based on social, environmental, and governance criteria. These screens can be positive or negative. Socially responsible investors are generally looking for companies that are both good financial performers that make positive social contributions. Conversely, these investors also tend to avoid companies that are known as being known polluters or otherwise not known for being sensitive to social issues.
Shareholder Advocacy
Socially responsible investors take an active role in the companies in which they have a stake. Their efforts can include having dialogues with corporations and bringing awareness about issues such as governance, labor practices, discrimination, and more. Socially responsible shareholders may also take a step further and file shareholder resolutions that not only create investor pressure, but can also create media attention, helping to educate the general public about the corporation and their position about the issue at hand.
Community Investing
Traditional financial service institutions underserve many types of communities. Corporation-sponsored community investing directs capital from investors to give these underprivileged communities access to traditional banking products as well as credit, capital, and equity to build their community and provide community services including housing, child care, and health services. This is the fastest growing area of SRI, having grown a staggering 540 percent over the last decade.
At the end of the day, socially responsible investing is all about finding ways to make money and make a positive impact on the world doing it. It requires a little more effort in terms of finding and researching investments, but being morally and ethically smart with your money is a good way to really enjoy your wealth and give back to communities and industries in need.

Is it Time for Your Annual Finance Check-up?
Wednesday, 27 June 2012 17:29 Published in Financial Literacy
Your financial health should be assessed the same way your physical health is: annually. Keeping your finger on the pulse of your financial well-being allows you to reach the financial goals you have set, and can also provide opportunities for you to save even more money.
An annual financial review is basically a way to ensure that your finances stay on track. The elements covered below are helpful considerations for an annual financial review; however, it is also best to consult with a financial advisor who can assess your particular situation and needs, and guide you appropriately.
Assess and Revise Progress Toward Financial Goals
Have you met any of the goals you set for yourself last year? Have you had a life change that requires your goals to be revised and changed to better suit your new circumstances?
Update Changes to Your Personal Financial Situation
Increases as well as decreases in income and expenditures need to be updated. Are you anticipating a life change that will require a new set of goals, or a new budget? Buying a home, welcoming a new baby, or making a major purchase like a car all could affect various aspects of your finances.
Evaluate Your Insurance Coverage
Review the coverage you have for homeowner's or renters, auto, life, health, and long-term disability insurance. Does the coverage you currently have allow your family and loved ones the comfort and protection they would need should a situation require it? Is it possible that you are paying for more protection than you need?
Expect the Unexpected
Read over your will, or, if you haven't created one, do so now. Make any changes necessary to reflect your wishes, or include new members of your family.
Consider Your Retirement Plan and Investments
Are you on track to contribute the maximum to your 401(k), if available? If not, have you set up an IRA on your own, or considered other options to help you save for retirement? Have you calculated the return on your mutual funds, stocks, or bonds, and are you satisfied with their performance?
Aim to Minimize Taxes
Have you updated your withholding allowances to make sure you are not overpaying the government? Meeting with a financial advisor to discuss ways to maximize your deductions is a means to reduce your tax burden.
Review Your Debt
Create a plan to pay down or eliminate all of your debt. Should you consider refinancing a mortgage? Have you reviewed your annual credit reports?
Considering these elements of an annual financial review will help you keep tabs on your financial well-being. For additional support, consider accessing a financial advisor who can work one-on-one with you to analyze the different aspects of your finances and assist in creating the best financial plan for your entire family.

Investments for Beginners: What to Expect the First Year
Wednesday, 27 June 2012 17:29 Published in Financial Literacy
Whether you are in twenties and wondering how best to make your money work for you or in your forties and desirous of ensuring your retirement is safe, it's never too late to begin investing. Before you jump into the stock market with a "sure thing" tip from your neighbor, however, be sure to do your research and understand what you can realistically expect from your first year of investing.
Finding Support for Your Financial Plans
Consulting a financial planner and creating a financial plan is crucial to investment success. A qualified financial planner will help you determine whether or not you are in a position to invest.
If you are not yet in a position to invest, a planner can help you create a plan to pay down any debt you may have and eventually save money to invest at a later date. Once you have saved the money to invest, a financial planner can help you evaluate investment opportunities and create an investment plan turned for
Learning the Ropes
Risk: "Without risk, there is no reward." All investments carry some risk, but a greater risk does not always mean a greater reward. While no one ever wants to lose money, you'll never invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You will learn right away how an investment might go down (or up) only to reverse in the other direction a few months later.
Finding Your Niche: In your first year of investing, it is important to remember that you are still learning how to invest. While it may be exciting to find up-and-coming investment opportunities, it may be wise to stick with companies that are proven performers instead. You'll soon discover where you are the most comfortable placing your money and why.
Importance of Diversification: When planning your investments, you will always be told to diversify. Putting all of your money in any one industry or product can spell disaster for your portfolio if that industry were to take a loss. Diversifying your portfolio will help strengthen your portfolio against ups and downs in the market. And while diversifying also includes putting some money in long-term investments and others in short-term, you should learn to be wary and to do your research before investing. Investment opportunities that promise high rewards in a short time are often investment fads and are more likely to lose money rather than make money.
A Lifetime of Learning
Once you start investing, it is up to you to continue to learn more about the market. Learn about other investment opportunities, evaluate them, and figure out whether they are right for you. Monitor your investments with your financial planner to ensure that your investments are continuing to help you meet the goals that you set for yourself. While a financial planner is your partner in the process, it is ultimately up to you to make the final decisions.

A longing to spend the day on the golf course or the urge to pack up all your belongings and move into an RV are telltale signs that you're emotionally ready for retirement. Unfortunately, a person's desire to retire isn't always aligned with his or her retirement plan; unless you've got the financial backing you need to quit the rat race for good, an early retirement might actually end up being one of the worst fiscal decisions of your life.
While retirement is a partially subjective issue, since you're the only one who can determine for certain if the timing is right to quit your job and cash in your 401(k), there are certain financial indications that indicate if retirement is the best course of action for you and your life.
Are Your Finances Guaranteed?
One of the best ways to tackle retirement is to adjust yourself to a steady monthly income that will come in no matter what might be going on around you. A fully-vested pension or 401(k) plan or a set annuity are good indications that you can retire without fear of losing all your money, since you will know what to expect each month. On the other hand, investments that are dependent on the market continuing an upward climb before you cash them in are less stable, and give you fewer options is something does take a turn for the worse.
An important note here is that counting on Social Security to fill in the gaps isn't always an ideal plan, either. While Social Security can be a great way to channel some extra funds into investments, depending on it to pay the bills means that you might need a few more working years before you let go.
Can You Access Your Money Anytime?
Many types of investments limit your accessibility to your funds. Stocks and bonds typically require a certain amount of time to mature properly, and there might be a large fee associated with taking the money early. If the bulk of your retirement money is tied up in these kinds of investments, it might be wiser to wait until they have reached their peak before you access them.
This is especially true in a declining market like the one the United States is experiencing right now. Not waiting out a recession can end up costing you thousands to millions of dollars – certainly not enough to offset taking retirement a few years early.
Before You Retire
No matter how prepared you think you are, it's always best to confer with your financial advisor before making your retirement official. With your advisor's help, you should be able to set the benefits of retirement against the financial risks – allowing you to make the decision to retire a logical as well as emotional one.

Financial planning in your 50s is all about enjoying what you have and looking forward to an even better few decades to come. If you are in your 50s, you are hopefully looking forward to soon reaping the goals of your hard work of investing and saving money. However, if you don't have quite the portfolio you'd always dreamed of having at this point, there's no need to panic just yet. With some smart (and possibly even higher-risk) ventures, you can get back on track and still enjoy the life you've spent so many years building.
Here are some common financial planning concerns for people in their 50s and how to address them:
Retirement planning - By now, you've hopefully been regularly contributing to a 401(k) or an IRA plan for a few decades. As you get closer to retirement age—or if you plan on retiring early—you will want to take a look at living expenses. Take a long, realistic look at the lifestyle you will want to live once you retire and estimate what your expenses are going to look like.
Once you have that estimate, it's time to determine what your accounts will be worth when you retire. There are calculators on the Internet that can help you with these figures, or you can contact your financial planner to give you a more accurate number.
By taking into account any income you are likely to receive during retirement (social security, pension, etc.) as well as your savings, you can now accurately predict whether or not you will meet your goal or fall short.
This would be a good time to review your portfolio. Are you being too aggressive or too conservative in some of your portfolio choices? While these types of oversights might have been okay ten years ago, errors now can have a much more immediate impact .Consult with your financial advisor about any concerns you may have and make any allocation changes you decide are necessary to help ensure a safe, comfortable retirement.
Estate planning - While no one wants to think about their final expenses, finding a financial advisor who can help you with estate planning will help give you peace of mind. Estate planning ensures that your estate is handled in a manner that you approve of and that your children are not burdened with making your final financial decisions after your passing.
Consult a lawyer or an estate planner to help with this portion of your financial future. At the very least, an estate plan should include a will as well as a durable power of attorney. A power of attorney gives a designated person the right to make financial decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so.
Your estate plan should also include a living will, which will notify people of your wishes regarding medical care in case you become ill or seriously injured and are unable to make decisions yourself.
Of course, one of the best things about financial planning in your 50s is enjoying the money you have (either through earning or a few years of saving). While financial responsibility is in your best interest, you can also afford to spend a little on the types of purchases that will add quality to the life you have.

the Word Carrier OF SANTEE NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL. VOLUME XXXVIII. HELPING THE RIGHT, EXPOSING THE WRONG. NUMBER 5. SANTEE, NEBRASKA. SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER, 1909. THIRTY CENTS PER YEAR. Our Platform For Indians we want American Education I We want American Homes I We want American Rights! The result of which is Aroer.can Citizenship ! And the Gospel is the Power of God [or their Salvation! The Mission Meeting The Indians of the Presbyterian and Congregational churches of the Dakota Mission held their yearly Mission Meeting, Sept. 1st to Sept. 5th, at Ascension church, near Sisseton, The neat little church stands alone, on a wid; long ridge with higher hills to the north, and little wooded ravines between the hills and on "very side. The large tent for the meetings was placed near the tents, and the other tents, as usual were arranged around these in a large, im ular circle. The G, M. & St. Paul R'y. gave reduced fans, and a special train of ten passenger cars am: two baggage cars carried more than five hundred people to the meeting. Others came on arlier and later trains, and in wagons. It was estimated that there were nearly two thou- sai people in attendance. Tlie services of the conference began onWed- nes lay afternoon, but quite a number of the Im ans had been camping there since the Sat- un : y before, and during those days preceding the ' onference, evangelistic meetings were held by Or. Bergen of Dubuque, Iowa, assisted by Mi -. Bergen as musician, and Mr. Frank Wright an udian evangelist from Oklahoma. Dr. and Mr.-. Bergen and Mr. Wright also stayed through thi conference, and assisted at some of the otli'-r services, especially in the evenings. The Indian people seemed interested in them, and aft.! ward spoke heartily of having found their services helpful. While most of the Indians pn .nt were already professing Christians, we believe that many were strengthened and renewed in purpose, by the influence of these new sp kers, their sympathy, their earnest words ami their songs. "> lie weather on the whole, was favorable. Tin -e was one day of drizzling rain which made people uncomfortable until it was over. But it was clear after that with a cool breeze, and those who had a plenty of warm clothing were al)I.' to enjoy the other days. The meetings were well attended and the interest was well sustained. Among the topics weiv these: How can the Dakota churches be revived? Low should the Dakotas care for their land? flow to teach the Bible. Ilow to study the Bible. is the no-ticket society beneficial to the people? The meaning of the last question had to be explained to many in the audience, even of the Indians themselves. It seems that in some parts of the Indian country those who have given up their ration tickets and are receiving little from the government, have formed a society that holds dances where they sing their old songs and keep up an interest in the old customs. The Christian Indians who are in a position to know about this society, consider its spirit hostile to the United States government. After the discussion, it was voted that the Conference send a memorial to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, asking that these dances should be stopped. The animation of those who took part in all these discussions and the close attention given, snow that these people were thinking, and that they considered the questions under discussion °f vital importance. Oue of the interesting meetings was that of the Santee Students Association At the very beginning of this meeting Rev. John Eastman moved that a committee be appointed to prepare a letter to be sent to Dr. A. L. Riggs, the principal of the school, expressing the rever ence and affection of the former students for him, and their regret that he was unable to be with them. The report of the treasurer showed that two hundred and forty-seven dollars had been collected for the school since the last meeting, making the total contributed by the students to the endowment fund, six hundred and ninety-six dollars. ' The missionary meetings of the two denominations were also of great interest, but I can only speak of the Congregational meeting. The report of the treasurer showed that fourteen hundred dollars had been given for missions during the year, about two-thirds of which was raised by the women's societies. Reports were given from the three mission schools, at Elbowoods, Oahe, and Santee, and it was voted to give each school two hundred dollars to aid in its support for the next year. The Presbyterians raised more missionary money than the Congregationalists. The Sunday morning service included a sermon followed by the communion. It was more than two hours long, but the people did not seem weary. At the English preaching in the afternoon, a considerable number of white people from Sisseton were present, and the sermon was given by Rev. Frank Wright. For myself, I felt that the inspiration given by the meetings of these five days is a blessed preparation for the work ahead of us. There is so much that is encouraging, in seeing how much has been accomplished, and in feeling the appreciation and gratitude of the better ones among the Indian people. At the same time, we see, as we do not see in the schools, how near they still are to their primitive condition, and how much remains to be done. Then there are short but precious fragments of time for conference among the missionaries of different stations, where we gain some help from the experiences of others; and especially receive some incentive to greater devotion, from the example of those who have cheerfully given the labor of a life time, amid discouragements and difficulties, to building up God's kingdom among the Indians. Edith Leonard. Santee Association The Santee Students Association held a meeting September 2 at Ascension, S. D.,during the meeting of the mission conference. On the report of a nominating committee, the same general officers were reelected, and they were empowered to appoint the District Vice Presidents. A committee was appointed to express to Dr. A. L. Riggs, who was absent on account of sickness, the appreciation of the Association. The district treasurers brought in the gifts of the district societies. Then a contribution was taken up, all of which is reported below. Rev. Frank Wright of Oklahoma gave an encouraging talk on different kinds of schools, and expressed himself as most interested in the mission schools, because there was where the boys and girls receive a Christian education.

Frank Wright, note payable Jan. 1, 1910 50 00 The Story of a Sweet Life. On the 26th of August, just before our people began to come back from vacation, Grace Lawson died. She had been failing for three years; we knew her life could not be long; yet the end seemed sudden. A few days before, she had a stroke of paralysis. She waked from sleep unable to move her arm. From that time she failed rapidly. Grace was twenty-four years old, and during most of her life, her home was at Santee mission. She grew up among us "a fair, meek blossom"—just a sweet, modest, gentle girl. There were nearly seven years of school life away from home, filled with joyful enthusiasm and interest in the broadening life. These were happy years. Then came the three years at home of delicate health. During much of this time she was not able to share the active life of the mission as she would have been glad to do. She was interested in all that was going on, glad to help where she could, glad to see any who went to see her, and always anxious to go to church, or to anything that was being done on the mission as long as she was able. Her life seems short. And yet, it was a victorious one. Grace never complained; she very rarely talked of herself and her troubles, and if she did, spoke lightly of them. This last summer in writing to one of the teachers, all she said of her health, after a long newsy letter, was simply, "I am still playing lady." She always seemed hopeful, and glad to live, even with all her weakness and discomfort, for the sake of the good things God had made, and for the dear ones He had given her. Almost up to the last she was planning for the flowers they would have next winter, and wanting to paint the flower pots. She was never idle, when she was able to do anything. She did much to help in the home, and even when growing weak, she always had some sewing or light fancy work near. Though she talked very little about religion, she had a simple trust in God, and a loving heart. She united with Pilgrim church while she was yet very young, and was a faithful member of it. To those who knew her well, her memory will always be sweet and beautiful. E. L

...who was mean as a snake and could verbally eviscerate her own children or anyone else (for any reason) in the blink of an eye. She was pathologically cruel, and yet in her passing (at 86, alone, with nary a friend), what I remember are the times her wicked humor made me laugh. I imagine it must have been a living hell inside of her head.

Nokia Lumia 505 unboxing video surfaces
The Nokia Lumia 505 has been featured in an unboxing video on YouTube. Mexican mobile operator Telcel is the company behind the video and shows off what consumers can purchase for use on the network. The Windows Phone is exclusively targeted to Mexico and Telcel in particular. It's the sister to the Lumia 510, both are low-end hardware.
Nokia announced the Lumia 505 back in December and unveiled it would be launching in Mexico. The Windows Phone sports a 3.7" AMOLED screen, an 8MP rear camera (with no Carl Zeiss), the budget phone does not feature a front-facing camera for video calls. In addition, it has Bluetooth 2.1 and just 4GB of on-board storage, which may be a little tight for some. Rounding it out is a 1300 mAh batter and a weight of 131 grams.
While not the most advanced specifications for a smartphone, the device is running Windows Phone 7.8, but does come with only 256MB of RAM.
Source: YouTube; thanks, Andrey, for the heads up!

Its so good looking!!! Its cool how much it looks like the Lumia 800.
DesRed says:
Especially if the phone have a black back cover. Unfortunately, the other colours just give the phone's identity away. Would have been better if Nokia can colour the inner frame to match their back covers, but it still look good for a budget phone. ;)
nonartistic says:
the display is from lumia800 for sure
David Ray says:
Really good looking phone.
pizzalovinhulk says:
Wer can u buy it and will it work wit a SIM card (att)
vampriachie says:
Yes in deed telcel and att work as same, GSM networks.
jsnod25 says:
I would like to see android or iOS try to run that smooth with those specs.
Nakazul says:
Roland TR-505. We need a 909 that will set the world on fire
Seany72 says:
I don't understand Nokia with budget phones. Why 256ram when competing manufacturers use 512ram in their budget offerings weather it be Android or not. This is a good looking handset crippled by low ram,only 4 gig memory and for god sake how much does a cheap LED flash cost?? Silly Nokia
Shantek says:
The Nokia with 256mb of ram will run better than a budget android with 512mb of ram.. The 256mb budget devices, there isn't a great deal they can't do. And when developing, our apps and games run almost as smooth on a 610 as they do on a 900 and 920
rhodri22 says:
I really hate to burst your bubble on this, but the app thing is not true. That's why Skype and Angry Birds don't work on 256MB devices, and the 920 and WP8 devices are in a different league compared to WP7 devices anyway. My friends 920 blows my HD7 out of the water in non intensive apps such as the WPC app.
Also did this video really just show that it would have only 2.3GB remaining as storage? That's pathetic for even a budget smartphone, but especially one with no micro SD storage available...
Shantek says:
You are obviously not a developer. I said "almost as good". Obviously the more intensive apps and games run a little slower but they run at an acceptable level on low end devices. Skype is the only exception and that's fine. But games like angry birds purely comes down to poor development. Microsoft give you what you need to determine the device, so if a game runs like crap on a low budget device, it just comes down to the developer not putting in the effort to adapt to the device. But in my instance, I haven't had to make a single change in anything I've developed.
Shantek says:
You really need to look at the bigger picture. They can add more ram etc. But then its no longer a budget phone so what's the point?
rhodri22 says:
The RAM is fine for a budget phone, bur lets be honest about this, this phone is going to get reviewed by the mainstream tech media, who are all going to say 'it lacks space for content'. I mean, what is 2.3GB? A few apps, games a video and a few albums its not much is it? Personally, I think that if the would have given it at least 8GB, then they could have beaten off the second hand WP7 handsets in terms of price too. Unless this phone costs a lot less than the 610 (and what's that going for? About $200?) then why even bother making it?
Shantek says:
I used a HTC desire back in the day. Didn't even have enough internal memory to support an update to the OS. So I don't think the Nokia is that bad.. You get what you pay for
rhodri22 says:
The problem is that its not 'back in the day' anymore. People are becoming expectant that they can carry around their music collection, but this phone doesn't seem able to. But yes, I agree that you get what you want to pay, but if this was me, I wouldn't want to pay more than about $130 for this phone.
rhodri22 says:
My bad on that, I missed the 'almost' from that.
DesRed says:
Well, it is what it is, a budget phone. Not to mention that there are even budget Android phones which don't come with LED flash either and people on these type of phones aren't that concerned with its exclusion or picture quality. To them, a quick picture to post on fb or share through MMS is enough.
As for the specs, as long as it runs smoothly, it's good for them. And the low memory is acceptable in that target market especially when they rarely use the phone for media purposes and only for the simple texting and calling, with a bit of internet browsing in between when connected with a Wi-fi network.
Pootbuttlafunk88 says:
This would be a back up phone in case something happens to my 920 How much is this?
cedarlog says:
not sure if its going to be available around the world it might be exclusive to telco
Torch4x4 says:
price is not available yet, but in Mexico all electronics are expensive, for instance in US Dollars the iPhone in Telcel is around $1000 USD., galaxy s3 $950, Lumia900 $850.
the closest to this model is the Lumia610 $300 USD., the Lumia 505 will be $200 USD aprox.
Tomasz S. says:
That's not expensive, that's what those phone cost worldwide in retail (as in not branded and without contracts).
V Turk says:
Agreed looks nice there best lo budget phone design yet. I would not mind that for a high end phone. I think the 505 looks better than the 820
Lightmoonwolf says:
Mmmm the model it's ok but those especs are just lame ..... at least they should have brought the 620 to be the first phone of the year not this one XD.
Sulslim says:
7.8 Fail ((
Torch4x4 says:
There's no WP8 in Mexico yet, the first I think will be the HTC 8S, too limited in specs to compete with the iPhone or galaxy S3 (already available in Mexico) if this is happening in every emergent country chances are low, why the competition is having their high end devices in emergent countries and not WP? I agrre with you, how many "new" phones with 7.8 with low specs will come? :(
neoice says:
Here you have an unboxing with sound made it by a CEO from a fanComunity in Mexico called Winphollowers.
Ramses Jimenez says:
Prices in Mexico:
Price without contract: 280 dlls (tax included)
Free on Telcel 300 plan, paying 27 dlls (tax included) per month.
(300 minutes, 150 SMS, 150 MB and one number to speak or texting without cost.)
WinFan1 says:
LOL i picture that text being sent by a non spanish speaker and then imagine a non spanish person saying in a white accent HOLA!!! lol

I never burn candles anymore after I almost burned the barn down.
The article "For a Motor To Drive Our DIY EV " relates to the "fuel efficient vehicles" clause in GB submission guidelines. Which say "Articles should be on the topics of gas prices, crude oil, clean energy, fuel efficient vehicles or related automotive articles." It also relates to "clean energy" since this type of vehicle is meant to wean us off fossil fuels. If people transition from gas to battery electricity for hybrids and full electric cars it can translate to less use of gas produced from OPEC oil and less dependency on gas would lead to falling in gas and oil prices. You can try to submit a story and look at the guidelines yourself. http://www.winnipeggasprices.com/Suggest-News-Article.aspx

Boston University and local police departments announced plans Wednesday to step up patrols after a BU research assistant was stabbed and robbed the night before in the latest and most violent in a series of eight alarming street attacks near the campus this academic year.
Robert A. Brown, the university's president, said patrols had been significantly bolstered after robberies in the fall and earlier this winter. Suspects were arrested after some of those incidents.
Staunch liberal that I am, there are times when even I am taken aback with the Boston Globe's apparent policy against mentioning the race of any of the suspects in a story like this one. You mean to tell me that none of the victims noticed the race of the perpetrators? I find that hard to fathom. And if the Globe just leaves that part out in some misguided politically-correct policy, well that actually does the public (and especially people living in the area) a disservice. I'm afraid it's a relevant issue.
I was mugged a few years ago and tried to resist. I fought my attacker to the ground — but he got away with my purse. I'd been Christmas shopping, so I had more than my usual amount of cash in my wallet. There were a lot of poeple on the street — this was around 7 pm, by no means the dark of the night — and many tried to help me. One got the license plate number of the getaway car, but it turned out the car had been stolen just a few minutes earlier. Someone else called the cops, who came very fast. The detective who helped me told me that never, ever, should I fight to keep possession of my stuff. Just a day or so earlier a woman had tried to fight and had been stabbed to death for her efforts. "Money and things can be replaced," he said, "but your life can't. The first rule is to survive." He was absolutely right. I recommend his advice.
Here's a chance for those NRA trigger-happy gun-nuts to step up and post armed guards around the area. Unless that would just make things worse. Where's Nugent when you really need him?
Nope. Patrolling around with guns is NOT what responsible gun owners do. Idiots do that sort of thing.
Of course, this story does point out what gun owners always tell people:
When seconds count, the police are just minutes away.
Notice that we have not heard about this until 8 of these attacks have occured?
One other thing, I would not recommend that folks in the area rush out, get a gun and start carrying it. Without proper training, a very bad idea.
BTW, you are a cheap shot artist. Talk about people when they are not around all the time?

WASHINGTON, PA (Jan. 23, 2013)—Washington & Jefferson College students joined Americans of every age and background in celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day by participating in community service projects.
The students made a difference for a variety of organizations.
"MLK Day is a nationally recognized day of service, but what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., stood for is something the Office of Volunteer Programs and the students at W&J strive to achieve every day—and that is making a positive impact on the life of others," said Justin Dandoy, director of volunteer programs at W&J.
Dandoy said students volunteered at Dress for Success, an organization that provides women in need with professional clothing. Volunteers sorted donations and created outfits, which will help women secure and maintain employment. Students also volunteered at the Literacy Council of Southwestern Pennsylvania, where they helped assemble "baby book bags," which contained children's books and literature emphasizing the importance of reading to babies from birth, given to new mothers at Washington Hospital.
Dandoy added that throughout the month of January, the Office of Volunteer Programs is collecting items for Emergency Preparedness Kits for the Red Cross which will be distributed in the local community. Students volunteered Jan. 21 to assemble the kits and write letters to those who will be receiving the kits. This effort will continue through the spring semester.
Congratulations to the women of Pi Beta Phi and the...
Washington & Jefferson College will be coordinating...

Mayor Steve Bach presented a Spirit of the Springs "Celebration" Award to Bob Condron on Monday, May 14, 2012 for his lifetime of achievements and devotion to the United States Olympic Committee.
Mr. Condron is being recognized for 28 years of service to the USOC from 1983-2012. Condron retired as Director of the U.S. Olympic Committee's Media Services Office where he worked 15 of the Olympic Games.
Earlier in his career, he served as the Assistant Athletic Director and Sports Information Director at Southern Methodist University from 1971-1983 and Assistant Sports Information Director at Texas Tech from 1968-1971.
"We established this award to celebrate great achievements for those who bring great distinction to our city and in this case, to our country," said the Mayor.
"The Spirit of the Springs Award says a lot," said Mr. Condron. "What this means to me is the city saying thank you for being here for 28 years. This is very meaningful to me."
Mr. Condron has also recently been awarded the Keith Jackson Eternal Flame Award. This award is presented to an individual who has made a lasting contribution to intercollegiate athletics, demonstrated a long and consistent commitment to excellence and been a loyal supporter of CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America) and its mission. Condron is only the eighth recipient of this award which was first given in 1998, but is not given out every year.
The Spirit of the Springs "Celebration" Award is presented when a noteworthy achievement brings great honor and pride to the City of Colorado Springs or has been distinguished at a state, national or international level.

"Excellent and comfortable yoga top" 05/04/13
I purchased this top in multiple prints and colors because I like it so much! It's perfect for yoga or a hot day. The inner shelf bra could be more supportive, but it provides plenty for yoga or working out at the gym. I also appreciate that it is modest in the front, but still really sexy.
"As an added note" 04/21/12
I wrote a previous review for this item. My suggestion is to order a size down on this particular top! It's is super cute, but it does run big and the size chart on the site is off. I am a 36A and ordered the medium, but I could have used a small.
"Great Top, sizing is off" 04/21/12
I love this top!! Very femine design. The only reason I am returning it is because the medium should have fit me according to the size chart and it is too big. The material is awesome and I love Prana's designs, so it's a great top regardless of the sizing issue. I ordered the Coral Malibu and LOVE the pattern. I am a 36A, 5' 2" and 135 lbs.
"Very cute top, not enough support." 01/30/12
I'v been looking at this top for a while and when it went on sale I decided to purchase it! I ordered a Med(usually a Small or Med) but I probably could have gone with a small but it wasn't available at that time. I felt like this top didn't support me enough in the bust area (34 C). I didn't want to have to wear a layer underneath so I had to send it back.
"Versatile and comfy to the max" 09/19/11
Rock climbing, horseback riding, dinner with friends, dancing at a club, bar hopping, hiking, at work under a cardigan, sleeping at night, walk-of-shaming the morning after - this shirt can do it all. Seriously. Just ask mine, she's been-there-done-that. True to size; I'm 5'6" 125 and comfortably wear a S. You won't regret owning this shirt!
Love love love this shirt! I have an older pattern, but its my favorite shirt to climb in. Wear it ALL the time. Good support on top, flattering ALL OVER! If I had a rich boyfriend, I would have more than one color... Any takers?
"Runs REALLY small, but also REALLY cute!" 09/18/09
I am not a big person...I typically wear a size 4...but I am a large in this top. It is really adorable and you can wear it with anything. The top portion near the neck "scrunches" down so it can have more of a halter top look. I highly recommend it...but don't even look at the size chart- if you normally wear a medium- buy a large!!
"Really snug" 09/07/09
I liked the look of this top from the picture, up close it's almost like looking at pixels, but the overall effect is still nice. However, this top runs REALLY tight. I usually wear S or M in tops, depending on what kind of shirt it is. I figured I wanted this one a little smaller since it has a shelf bra and it is meant to be form-fitting, I ordered a small. Order up a size, maybe 2. In fact, you may want to try this on in a store before you purchase. The straps on the back are really cute, it would be a worthwhile purchase in the correct size.

Fort Wayne Bank Robberies On The Rise
The number of local bank robberies has soared this year. It's more than double last year's amount.
-->By: Kristin Mazur
Updated: November 21, 2012
It's become a familiar scene for the Fort Wayne Police Department.
"You see your criminals; your robbers try and seek out a bank for specific reasons" says Fort Wayne Officer Raquel Foster.
The number of local bank robberies has soared this year. It's more than double last year's amount. So what's behind the increase? The economy may be part of it, but Foster says the more likely reason is that robbers are simply getting good at what they do.
"History has shown that when you see a robbery and see successful robberies, we will see repeated incidences. Often you're dealing with career criminals" she says.
The latest Fort Wayne bank robbery happened this morning at the Chase Bank on East State Street inside Georgetown Square . Police say a man threatened the teller, demanded cash, and then fled on foot. No one was hurt.
"They're individuals that this is what they do. They will rob a financial institution and then they perfect their method as they go along" says Foster.
Out of the twelve bank robberies this year, Foster says only three have been solved. She says the reward for robbers far outweighs the risk.
"Bank robberies typically have a low solvability rate, primarily because there's very little evidence to process inside" she says.
And with the holiday season upon us, Fort Wayne police anticipate the number of bank robberies will continue to rise through the end of the year.
Police are asking the public for help in finding the man who robbed the Chase Bank today.
He's described as a black man. He was last seen wearing a black ball cap, and a black hooded jacket.

Italy-Croatia 1-1
Scorers: 39' Pirlo; 72' Mandzukic
Italy: Buffon; Bonucci, De Rossi, Chiellini; Maggio, Marchisio, Pirlo, Thiago Motta (63' Montolivo), Giaccherini; Balotelli (70' Di Natale), Cassano (83' Giovinco). Team manager: C. Prandelli.
Croatia: Pletikosa; Srna, Corluka, Schildenfeld, Strinic; Rakitic, Vukojevic, Perisic (68' Pranijc); Modric; Mandzukic (94' Kranjcar), Jelavic (83' Eduardo). Team manager: S. Bilic.
Referee: Webb (Inghilterra)
Warnings: Thiago Motta, Montolivo e Schildenfeld.
Italy does not manage to beat its bugbear Croatia and now is near to elimination: an other 1-1 for Prandelli players obliges Italy to win against Republic of Ireland in the last match on Monday but if Spain and Croatia will draw 2-2 both of them will pass to quarter-finals. It has been not enough for Italy to dominate the first half: a masterly free kick of Pirlo clears the match at 39', after many occasions to score thrown away by Balotelli and Marchisio, while in the second half Italy physically breaks down and Croatia, although without creating much opportunities, draw at 72' with Mandzukic, who scores his second gol in Euro 2012.
