How Gnostic Jesus Became the Christ of Scholars
Images of Jesus as a Gnostic or crypto-Buddhist sage are popular because they reflect the ideological needs of certain audiences
Since the mid-nineteenth century, new and fringe religious movements have often generated distinctive images of Jesus, who is presented as a sage, philosopher and occult teacher, whose views have much in common with those of Asian teachings. These pictures have a very great deal in common with the images which increasingly dominate the mainstream critical scholarship of the New Testament, especially following the rediscovery of the Gnostic Gospels found at Nag Hammadi in Egypt in 1945. In modern scholarly writing, Jesus has become more of a Gnostic, Cynic or even a crypto-Buddhist than the traditional notion of the reformist Jewish rabbi. In both cases, the popularity of these related views of Jesus reflects the ideological needs and predilections of the audiences to whom they are presented.
In this paper, I will trace how the heterodox image of Jesus which has played so lively a role in countless fringe and esoteric sects has within recent years become almost a dominant paradigm within the scholarly world. Though Biblical scholars have not experienced any kind of mass conversion to Gnostic Christianity, nevertheless ideas which were once stigmatized have now become accepted, even orthodox: to coin a phrase, the stone which was once rejected has become the cornerstone. I believe that my story offers a classic case study of the very permeable boundaries that separate the ideas of cults from those of religions.
The Impact of Nag Hammadi
My story starts with the discovery in 1945 of the Gnostic library unearthed at Nag Hammadi in Egypt, an event which has had a quite overwhelming effect on modern Christian scholarship. These documents had been concealed in the late fourth century, presumably by someone who felt (reasonably enough) that if they were not concealed, the texts would be destroyed by heresy-hunting vigilantes. The best-known text from the Nag Hammadi treasure trove was the Gospel of Thomas, which in the last two decades has widely, if controversially, been attributed a degree of authority little less than that of the four gospels - and perhaps a great deal more. Other items in this collection supplied countless alternative views of Christianity: though only four explicitly bore the title of "gospels," dozens claimed to record the words or deeds of Jesus. New Testament scholar Marvin Meyer has described the Nag Hammadi collection as "just as precious, and perhaps even more precious" than the texts in the New Testament.

Dakine is a Hawaiian slang or Pidgin term that can be used to indicate just about anything, but it has come to be associated with items of high quality, and this is the meaning that best suits the name of Dakine™ water sportswear. Dakine rashguards, Dakine surf hats and a number of different Dakine bags are just a small portion of all that Dakine has to offer.
Dakine was born in Hawaii in 1979 when Rob Kaplan manufactured the first Dakine surfboard leash, a surf leash built to withstand even the most brutal Hawaiian surfing conditions. The Dakine surfing leash set the standard for Dakine's innovative and high quality products. Specific to surfing, they carry Dakine Traction pads, Dakine surf bags, Dakine surf hats, and Dakine rashguards. For Stand Up Paddle boarding (SUP) they have a Dakine SUP paddle bag, Dakine SUP paddle sock, Dakine waterproof duffel bag and a Dakine hydration pack.
Dakine offers a wide variety of durable, fashionable, and eye-catching surf style bags for the extreme athlete at reasonable prices.If you are looking for a Dakine wallet, Dakine backpack, Dakine duffle bag, Dakine travel bag, Dakine hip pack or even a Dakine skim board bag, you are in luck.

My 4 year old son came to me yestday after noon with his camo pants on and camo shirt on and said that i got my long underwear on could we go hunting.My wife looked at me and said you guys better go. So i packed up my pack with water and a snack and relized i sent my nikon binos in and my swaros havent showed up yet so all we had was my rangefinder and took my gun for coyotes and went on a little hike. Thought i would post a pic of him.
Very cool. Raising him rite!
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
Very cool!
Good on you. There is nothing more fun than taking kids hunting!
Good Deal ! Thousand of memories ahead ! enjoy them all !
It is a great thing spendting time with my boy in the outdoors.i got home for lunch today and he was already looking out the window with my new swaro's thats showed up this morning so we might have to head out after work and test them out.
That's awesome!! How do you like the swaro' s?
just got back from out of town for work and stopped a few spots to glass some hillsides, antelope and mulies and they are awesome, im waiting to get my monarch back from nikon and just compare to see how much better the swaro's are.
That's awesome, bring a tear to my eye if I had kids and they took to hunting like I did.
I'm a father of two boys and an avid hunter... It is much harder these days to keep kids involved in the outdoors. The electronic distractions are really amazing! IMO you are doing it right- start them as early as you can and go anytime they want to go.

Dozens of cats, rescued from a home in Southern Colorado, will soon be up for adoption.
11 News has learned that 160 cats were rescued from a home in Colorado Springs. At least nine different groups from El Paso County and Denver are sheltering the rescued cats.
The owner of the cats was being evicted, so her friends called rescue groups to find homes for the cats. The owner is not facing charges, because she willingly gave up the cats.
We have more information about the cats, and how they can be adopted under our "find it" page.

I hope Tim Johnson has a pair of boots with sticky soles.
Or better yet, the new Baker City manager ought to buy a pair of those metal-studded rubber webs that you stretch tight over your footwear.
There's still ice around despite the recent thaw, and it makes for treacherous going.
Of course that's not the only sort of traction Johnson needs to worry about.
He is, after all, starting a job where he has seven bosses.
Which is six more than most of us have to try to please.
Besides which, three of those bosses — which is just one short of a ruling majority — didn't even want to hire Johnson to run City Hall.
None of his several relatively recent predecessors, dating back 25 years or so, was picked by a City Council as divided as this current version seems to be.
The Council's motion to offer Johnson the job on Dec. 18 played out almost precisely as did the motion, made on June 9, to fire Steve Brocato.
Councilors Dennis Dorrah, Beverly Calder, Aletha Bonebrake and Clair Button voted to hire Johnson — and to fire Brocato.Councilors Andrew Bryan and Sam Bass voted against both motions.
The only difference was that Councilor Milo Pope, who voted no on the motion to fire Brocato, was absent from the Dec. 18 meeting. Pope did, however, write a letter to his fellow councilors in which he made it clear that had he been present he would have voted against the motion to hire Johnson.
Nonetheless, I don't think Johnson's situation is as tenuous as that 4-to-3 ratio implies.
If he does a good job I suspect he'll soon gain the respect and support of even that trio of skeptical councilors.
Pope, for instance, told me: "I think Tim Johnson should succeed. I want him to succeed. I will help him succeed. I will not undermine him in any way."
I expect no less from Pope or from any councilor. And I have no reason to believe that he, or any of his six colleagues, will fall short of my expectations.
A city manager's position tends to be pretty precarious even in less volatile political circumstances.
Unlike many professions, city managers often have more trouble keeping a job than getting one.
Which is hardly surprising, when you think about it.
For one thing there is that matter of multiple bosses — bosses who change every two or four years depending on how the election turns out.
For another, city managers inevitably must answer "no" occasionally to business owners and developers and other people who are not accustomed to being denied anything.
And because city managers also tend to have forceful personalities, clashes are pretty much a certainty.
An investigator for the Idaho firm that the city hired to check Johnson's background interviewed Johnson by telephone on Dec. 16.
The investigator wrote that he "found Johnson to be very boastful of his accomplishments and it was easy to see how he could be perceived as having an arrogant personality."
The adjectives "boastful" and "arrogant" have negative connotations — either one fits neatly into a sentence right before, say, "jerk."
But it seems to me that the difference is thin indeed between confidence, a quality which our society celebrates, and arrogance, which in the main we abhor.
And I've never met a city manager whose confidence wasn't palpable.
Ultimately, I think that whatever disadvantage Johnson has due to the contention among the city councilors who will decide his future, is balanced by a couple of factors.
First, Johnson, unlike previous city managers, will have a contract that guarantees him severance pay.
A majority of the City Council can still fire him at any time, as per the city charter. Yet it seems to me that councilors will be less likely to make hasty decisions when they know that firing Johnson would cost the city thousands of dollars (in addition to the tab for the recruitment process).
Second, Johnson will be supervising a workforce that has proved itself capable of immense loyalty to its leader.
More than a dozen city employees attended the June 9 meeting during which the Council fired Brocato.
Several of those workers castigated councilors that night, and some of them later helped with the failed campaign to recall Calder and Dorrah.
Brocato's critics contend that he in essence bought city employees' loyalty by giving them exorbitant pay raises.
But I've looked at the numbers and the case seems to me a flimsy one.
Some workers who supported Brocato fared about the same, financially speaking, when Gordon Zimmerman was signing their paychecks.
Yet when the Council forced Zimmerman to resign in March 2003, there wasn't, at least publicly, so much as a whimper of protest from City Hall.
I've not yet met Tim Johnson but I think it more likely than not that he'll succeed here.
And I'm all but certain that he will, at the least, have a fair chance to prove himself worthy of his title.

- Abstract
- This study investigates the properties of the variable sampling rate Hotelling's T2 chart with runs rules. The average time to signal checking of the control chart is derived using a Markov chain approach. Numerical comparisons show that the variable sampling rate Hotelling's T2 chart with runs rules performs better than the variable sampling rate Hotelling's T2 chart without runs rules for small and moderate process mean shifts.

Ever since she was a little girl making her own books out of construction paper, Ann wanted to write. So when it came time to choose a major at the University of Wisconsin, the only subject she could choose was creative writing. Of course, that wasn't a very practical thing to do. One needs to earn a living.
So Ann turned to jobs ranging from proofreading legal transcripts, to working with quarter horses, to washing windows. But no matter what she did for a living, she continued to write the type of stories that captured her heart and fired her imagination. Romantic suspense stories.
And in 1999, all her effort paid off when Harlequin Intrigue called to tell her they wanted to publish her first novel, Inadmissible Passion.
Ann lives near Madison, Wisconsin with her husband, John, her toddler son, her border collie, Mick, and her quarter-horse mare, Bonanza's Copy Cat.

Emergency contraception is a birth control method to prevent pregnancy in women. It can be used:
Morning-after pill; Postcoital contraception; Birth control - emergency; Plan B
Emergency contraception most likely prevents pregnancy in the same way as regular birth control pills:
The two ways you may receive emergency contraception are by:
Two emergency contraceptive pills may be bought without a prescription.
Ulipristal acetate (Ella) is a new type of emergency contraception pill. You will need a prescription from a health care provider.
Birth control pills may also be used:
IUD placement is another option:
Women of any age can buy Plan B One-Step and Next Choice at a pharmacy without a prescription or visit to the doctor.
Emergency contraception works best when you use it within 24 hours of having sex. However, it may still prevent pregnancy for up to 5 days after you first had sex.
You should not use emergency contraception if:
Emergency contraception may cause side effects. Most are mild. They may include:
After you use emergency contraception, your next menstrual cycle may start earlier or later than usual. Your menstrual flow may be lighter or heavier than usual.
Sometimes, emergency contraception does not work. However, research suggests that emergency contraceptives have no long-term effects on the pregnancy or developing baby.
You may be able to use emergency contraception even if you cannot regularly take birth control pills. Talk to your health care provider about your options.
Emergency contraception should not be used as a routine birth control method. It does not work as well as most types of birth control.

Santiago is a member of the Volturi guard, and one of few members who does not possess a supernatural capability. His only useful skills come from his superior physical strength.
Breaking Dawn
In Breaking Dawn, when the vampire Irina reports to the Volturi about an immortal child being created by the Cullen family, the entire coven travels to Forks to destroy them. Therefore there is no doubt that Santiago is among them during the confrontation. Throughout the entire confrontation, he remains in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to take offense, like the rest of his coven. After the situation was resolved peacefully, he retreats to Volterra with the coven.
In Breaking Dawn - Part 2, he personally escorts Irina to the Volturi leaders' chamber. In Alice's vision of the probably battle, Santiago is ordered by Caius to hunt down Renesmee and Jacob, who run across the forest to escape slaughter. He quickly catches up to them, but is killed by Jacob when he bites off his head and escapes with Renesmee. Since the battle is avoided, Santiago's death is prevented.[1]
Physical appearance
Other than that he was brawny and huge-looking, Santiago's physique was never fully described in the books.
In the movie, however, he displays a bulky body shape with dark-colored skin, and black dreadlocks that run down to his neck. Since he drinks human blood for a living, his eyes exert the traditional red color of human-feeding vampires that darken the longer he abstains from feeding.
He wears the traditional black and gray outfit of the Volturi's guards, and has pierced ears.
Powers and abilities
Similarly to Felix, he is not supernaturally gifted but rather possesses tremendous physical strength and combat skills that surpass regular vampires. Though he is not quite as skilled as Felix, he is not to be underestimated.
In the movie he is shown to be a very fast vampire; he quickly catches up to Jacob and Renesmee whilst chasing them across the forest despite the two of them having a headstart.
Film portrayal
Santiago is portrayed by stunt performer Lateef Crowder Dos Santos in the second film adaptation of Breaking Dawn.

California: mob rule on analog opt-out solution?
PG&E's, CPUC's favored options may be discarded
Yesterday's column, "PG&E Smart Meter Opt-out: Decision By Regulators," looked at salient aspects of the California Public Utilities Commission's proposed decision on PG&E's application for a smart meter opt-out plan. That decision is set to be voted on today.
We noted yesterday the CPUC's stance that residential customers should be able to opt-out "for any reason or for no reason," its findings that smart meters' RF emissions fall well within the guidelines set by the Federal Communications Commission and that opt-outers should pay—but maybe all ratepayers should pay, too, a zany view yet to be finalized.
Today, let's dip back into the CPUC's proposed decision for a closer look at some of the objections to PG&E's suggested solutions and regulators' takes on those objections.
Here's the link to the CPUC's proposed decision for PG&E and here's a link to remotely watch and listen to today's proceedings via a Web link.
First, the opt-out option deemed most feasible by PG&E is the "radio-off" option, based on smart meters already installed and those purchased and awaiting deployment.
The Utility Reform Network (TURN) responded that that option might address radio frequency (RF) emissions and privacy, but would not resolve concerns about accuracy. (Studies in California, if I'm not mistaken, have already conclusively demonstrated the accuracy of smart meters.)
The EMF Safety Network objects to the "radio-off" option because "there is no assurance that the smart meter is actually turned off." (No telling what tricks the CPUC and PG&E might conspire to pull on the citizenry, right?)
Further, the EMF Safety Network, the Ecological Options Network (EON) and the town of Fairfax, Calif. all seek community-wide opt-out options. That, of course, is a double-edged sword.
Frankly, I doubt that everyone in Fairfax, for instance, is against smart meters and doesn't want access to energy use data, dynamic pricing and the system-wide benefits that include a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. So is it not somewhat tyrannical to force a community-wide policy? How will citizens who opt out of opting out be treated?
Secondly, until now it's been necessary to consider the costs and loss of benefits that individual opt-out decisions might inflict on an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) system. Towns or counties selecting a community-wide opt-out option might inflict significantly greater damage to benefits sought and paid for by the vast majority of residential customers—the same folks who voted for California's AB32, which in part prompted the state mandate for smart meters in the first place.
Finally, once political units such as towns and counties seek a community-wide, opt-out option, it begins to smack more of political gamesmanship rather than the ostensible purpose of protecting the health of citizens. Granted, these communities—or, more likely, their politicians—may feel that a grandstanding payback is due PG&E for the latter's heavy-handed tactics in heading off local efforts to secure the option to municipalize electricity services.
As anyone who has read my diatribes about Xcel Energy and Boulder, Colo.'s own municipalization effort knows, I'm against any interference with a community's right to decide its own future. But declaring war on state policies designed to defer capital investment, curb greenhouse gas emissions and offer citizens energy management information and tools is an inappropriate way to hit back at PG&E and self-defeating to boot.
The CPUC's proposed decision noted that "there is a great deal of concern that the radio-off option would not reduce the level of RF emissions." So the commission sought data on "both the average duration and the duration of communications between the electric and gas smart meters with the utility and the level of RF emissions at those times." The commission also sought "information comparing the level of RF emissions from a smart meter with the radio off [option], from a digital meter with no communications capability and from an analog meter."
"One of the more controversial disputes" in the opt-out proceedings was "how many times (average and maximum) an electric smart meter transmits during a 24-hour period," according to the CPUC's proposed decision.
According to PG&E, the cumulative transmission time is 45 seconds per day. Upon examination, the CPUC found, PG&E's response revealed that total average transmission time was 45 seconds, with a maximum of 15 minutes per day. According to PG&E's vendor, Silver Spring Network, a typical smart meter will "communicate" about 45 seconds per day, not 15 minutes. Where the network may not be complete, each meter may attempt to communicate with the network more often, resulting in a maximum transmission time of 15 minutes per day.
This strongly suggests, ironically, that networks—perhaps incomplete due to holes created by residences that opt-out of smart meters—actually emit greater RF than complete networks. So opting out costs all ratepayers in money and system effectiveness, while raising the level of RF emissions.
"Other parties," the CPUC noted, have maintained that the RF transmission by smart meters is constant. More on this canard in a moment.
In response to a request that the FCC step in and order removal of smart meters already installed, that agency noted "the FCC has no data or report to suggest that exposure is occurring at levels of RF energy that exceed our RF exposure guidelines. In contrast, the California Council on Science and Technology recently released a report that found that 'scientific studies have not identified or confirmed negative health effects from potential non-thermal impacts of RF emissions such as those produced by existing, common household electronic devices and smart meters."
Further, the FCC noted, RF emissions by smart meters "produce exposure of no more than 65 percent of the FCC limit at the face of the meter when programmed to transmit continuously. The devices normally transmit for less than one second a few times each day and consumers are normally tens of feet or more from the meter face, so the actual exposures are typically thousands of times less than this 'worse case' measurement condition."
Another issue: do smart meters emit RF emissions when the meter is not transmitting? The answer: yes. Damning? Not at all.
The CPUC's proposed decision noted PG&E's statement that "all digital circuitry—from that contained in clocks, in stereo equipment or in answering machines—emits de minimus RF that is governed by FCC limits for unintentional RF emissions." Values calculated for smart meter certification compared the emissions in the radio-off and radio out (that is, no radio) options. The values show that de minimus RF emissions actually were similar or lower in the radio-off option and both radio-off and radio out emissions are well below the FCC's guidelines. PG&E acknowledged that analog meters emit no RF at all. This, of course, is irrelevant, since many ubiquitous household devices emit the same level of RF as a smart meter with the radio turned off.
The CPUC further noted that the FCC's "authority over technical aspects of radio communications is longstanding and clear" and its responsibilities include regulating RF emissions "to protect public health and safety." Further, the FCC monitors the results of ongoing research in order to maintain the scientific validity of its standards.
Other objections included Fairfax, Calif.'s contention that smart meters violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. Lake County contended that smart meters overburden utility easements. The CPUC batted down these desperate distractions, as it should.
The commission went on to note that "in determining the best opt-out option ... we must balance the concerns expressed by customers against California's overall energy policy."
The proposed decision reiterated that the opt-out option should not preclude the collection of interval data that would support citizens' energy management decisions and participation in, for instance, dynamic pricing and demand response programs. Therefore it favored adoption of "a non-communicating meter—that is, a smart meter with the radio off or a digital meter with no communications capability. This option was proposed to enable customers to take advantage of already deployed energy policies ..."
In the end, however, the CPUC decided that—"in light of parties' comments on the proposed decision" - that it would settle for an analog meter opt-out option subject to further review "to ensure that this option does not impede the full implementation of net metering, demand response and smart grid." And the CPUC chose only one opt-out option, rather than several, for clarity and simplicity of implementation.
I'd have to say, at first blush, that the mob has won a victory here.
Yet to be decided, in a second phase of this proceeding: whether community-wide opt-outs should be allowed, and how the costs incurred by opt-outs should be allocated. I can't wait to hear more arguments that those who refuse to join an effort to modernize the grid, defer capital investment in new power generation and clear the skies and reduce carbon emissions expect the rest of us to pay for their hobbling of the system.
It is said that democracy is a messy business. So be it. Let those who opt-out do so and let them pay the cost, while ensuring that the electorate's self-imposed goals for controlling energy costs, pursuing energy sustainability and lowering energy-related environmental impacts are met. Dissent is always valuable, but its logic should be consistent and transparent. Otherwise, we descend into paralytic bickering and progress towards our society's chosen goals comes grinding to a halt.

Intelligent Utility Daily
Applying Rationale to an Emotional Response
You lay out a rational argument that makes this process seem somewhat absurd. Unfortunately, what is driving the consumer furor is largely emotional. They feel PG&E has taken advantage of them in the past. The North Bay community, which is pushing the opt-out charge, also tried to municipalize and PG&E squashed it, so we can add more bad feelings.
This is the clash of an increasingly empowered consumer base, digital trends, poor communications and decision making by PG&E, and years of poor customer experiences. Paying attention to customers, building positive relationships, and including customers in the process can be difficult but it is necessary if utilities want to meet their goals moving forward. The game is changing and will continue to change, and those that do not play by the new rules, will lose or at least pay more.
If we are real quite, we can hear the chickens roosting.
Quid Pro Quo
Californians love exercising their ability to be fully democratic whenever they want to, consequences be damned. I'd love to see how that changes when we abandon the legislature and require everyone to vote on every issue. After all, isn't that what real democracy is all about. Moreover, taxes should be structured so that those who vote consistently pay less than those who vote infrequently or not all. that way we're sure the electorate has an incentive to stay engaged.
I'm not as confident as you are that widespread adoption of interval meters in California will do much more than inflate utility rate base. There's been a lot of stalling and a lot of equivocation by the utilities when it comes to providing consumers with usage and price data. Even if consumers are provided with the data, I'm not seeing the same kind of effort OG&E has put forth to make sure consumers get some benefit from more sensible pricing plans that might actually defer the need for new infrastructure. I fear California is a lost cause.
Jack Ellis, Tahoe City, CA
concerns from conspiracy paranoia
The concern I have with the push to smart meters is that once there is sufficient penetration of the meters into the electrical consumer base, one or more of the federal agencies will promulgate a regulation mandating time-of-use billing. While on its face, this seems like the logical and fair thing to do, it will drastically impact retirees or households where there is a stay-at-home family member, perhaps due to illness or disability. It will also drastically impact small businesses and commercial enterprises that do business primarily during the day and early evening as they will be forced to pick up the entire tab for operating peaking units as round-the-clock industries may argue that all their power comes from a nuke, super-critical coal plant, or CCGT which have much lower fuel bills than peakers. I really think it will become a way for the present administration, if they remain in office, to push their green power agenda in support of the highly arguable man-made GHG as the principle cause of global climate change issue through regulatory rather than voluntary action to alter our lifestyles.
Modern Day Luddites
Phil, you continue to write on this subject with eloquence and passion, and in doing so make a complex topic clear. Thank You for that! Reading this reminded me of the Luddites from 19th Century England, who protested regarding on one of the technological advances of that day - new loom technology - one that put their jobs at risk and raised passions. There was mob rule for a time, as they broke looms and wreaked havoc, but then common sense prevailed and they were arrested and hung.
In light of that example, the CPUC seems to be exercising the wisdom of Solomon - granted, no protesters have started bashing smart meters with baseball bats like so many mailboxes - yet. I sense a common thread, though, between then and now: the fear of technological change and its potential negative consequences on the status quo.
I believe that were the powers that be to step back and reconsider the roles of consumers, communities, cities and utilities, they could open a diaglogue that would shift the conversation from how to make the utility grid more efficient to how to open up the energy system to an entirely new cast of characters, where we all could contemplate in a more rational dialogue the addition of new energy technologies that provide more energy independence, not merely superior metering and billing and grid operations that continue utility (monopoly) predominance.
In that discussion, we would look at new supply and demand soluitons with more balance, and consider investments in grid optimization on par with investments in consumer energy services driven by new energy technologies, as well as the implications for new business models and for new political relationships.

Achilles (uh-KILL-eez) tendon rupture is an injury that affects the back of your lower leg. It most commonly occurs in people playing recreational sports.
The Achilles tendon is a strong fibrous cord that connects the muscles in the back of your calf to your heel bone. If you overstretch your Achilles tendon, it can tear (rupture) completely or just partially.
If your Achilles tendon ruptures, you might feel a pop or snap, followed by an immediate sharp pain in the back of your ankle and lower leg that is likely to affect your ability to walk properly.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Saturday, Feb. 16, 2013
WAYNESBORO, Ga. (WRDW) -- The City of Waynesboro will soon be loosing its Chief of Police.
Alfonzo Williams has been recommended for public safety chief of Richmond County Schools, making it through the first step of the process. However, not everyone in the city is happy about the new position he might take.
"I think it's wrong," said Todd Flake, a lifelong resident of the city.
He's not happy about Waynesboro losing its top cop.
"It just appalls me, that we could lose this man," Flake said.
Flake says Williams has been instrumental in making the city safe again.
"Before Alfonzo came here, I mean, you could see drug dealers on the street corners. The police was scared to drive on the back roads," Flake said.
In fact, he believes it's so safe that he doesn't worry as much about robberies at the business he manages.
"We don't even lock the cars. We don't have to lock our cars," Flake said.
That's why Flake says the city can't afford to lose him.
"If city council and the mayor lets him leave, this town is going back to the way it was and that's going to be hell," Flake said.
And even though this position will be a promotion for Williams with a substantial pay raise, he says it will be tough to leave his hometown.
"It's bittersweet. I was born and raised he in Waynesboro. I grew up in the housing project just down the road here from the police station," Williams said.
Williams still hasn't turned in his resignation and Flake plans on giving him reason not to by organizing a petition.
"I hoping to get at least 500 signatures by Monday," he said.
Flake says the whole community should be trying to keep the chief, but especially one group.
"I'm telling the black people of this city, come to this meeting Monday night, the city council meeting and stand up for your police chief," Flake said.
Flake also says that personal issues are what is keeping some on the council from trying to keep Williams. He says people have the right to hold grudges, but this time, it needs to be set aside for the good of the city.

Other things to consider
What should you ask your doctor about bone metastases?
It's important to have open and honest talks with your doctor. Your doctor and the rest of your cancer care team want to answer all of your questions. You may want to consider asking these questions:
- What treatment options do I have for relieving bone pain or other symptoms?
- What can I do to help prevent broken bones?
- What would we do if a bone breaks?
- Which treatments do you recommend, and why?
- Is the treatment you recommend intended to cure the cancer, help me live longer, or relieve or prevent some of the symptoms of the cancer?
- What side effects are likely with the treatment(s) you recommend, and what can I do to help reduce these side effects?
- How would treatment affect my daily activities?
- Are there clinical trials that may be right for me?

I wish we had enough players for more modes. One card game I play has a mode that lets the devs ban OP cards and also lets the players that do well in that mode vote for other cards to be banned each week.
I quickly picked up on the fact that this game is sprawling and may never be balanced.
The recent buffs and nerfs I found agreeable and It is nice to know that the devs look at spikes in the game and cards that are not used. This maybe because I like cards that no one uses.

The Republican-led state Senate is making clear it wants Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue to enter an agreement with other governors to lobby the federal government for offshore energy exploration, although she said the Legislature can't make her do it.
The Senate voted Wednesday to override Perdue's veto of what's called the "Energy Jobs Act," which also reworks a state energy panel to focus more upon oil and natural gas exploration. The bill would become law if the House also agrees to override by a three-fifths majority.
Perdue says a provision requiring her to enter a compact with South Carolina and Virginia's governors to develop an offshore strategy is unconstitutional.
Environmentalists oppose the bill because they say it would discourage green energy alternatives.

WASHINGTON – ESPN will not renew the contract of a commentator who made racial comments about Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III.
On ESPN's "First Take," a debate-based talk show, Rob Parker questioned whether the Redskins rookie was "a brother" or a "cornball brother," and went on to discuss how Griffin identifies as a black man.
Parker issued an apology on his Twitter account for the comments and was suspended by ESPN.
The network issued a statement saying: "Rob Parker's contract expired at year's end. Evaluating our needs and his work, including his recent RG III comments, we decided not to renew his deal."
Meanwhile, Parker recently told WDIV- Detroit that he could see how people took his comments out of context and that they weren't "off the cuff" in that others involved with the program knew "which way we were going" in the discussion ahead of time.
"It was never to condemn the young man – RG3 is a great young man with a bright future," Parker said. "It was more about concerns not condemning him."
