Chapter TwoPrint this Page
Amy didn't want to risk being late for the rehearsal if her shift at the hospital ran over, so she took a change of clothes to work and planned to get ready there. Now, with forty-three minutes to spare, she straightened the skirt on the designer wrap-style dress she'd bought for the occasion and surveyed her reflection in the mirror.
The jersey fabric was the color of crushed berries and emphasized her curves. Or maybe that was the new underwear she'd splurged on for the occasiona push-up bra that promised "more cleavage than ever before" and matching satin bikinis. She'd planned to leave her hair down until she remembered that Ben had always preferred it that way. Then she'd deliberately twisted it up and secured it on top of her head.
Though she knew it was ridiculous, she was more than a little nervous about seeing him again. They'd been high school sweethearts, but high school had ended a long time ago. Since then, he'd traveled the world and won numerous awards as a journalist, and she'd successfully completed her schooling and training to become an ER doctor. They'd each done what they'd wanted to do, but she'd never forgotten him.
Her cell phone chimed just as she slid her feet into four-inch Prada heels that would bring her five-foot five-inch frame closer to eye-level with the best man's six-feet. A quick glance at the message made her heart leap into her throat. She immediately dialed the familiar number. "Lisawhat's wrong?"
"It's Ben."
"What happened?" she asked, assuming that her sister was calling about some kind of medical emergency.
"He's not here."
Amy exhaled a breath she hadn't even realized she'd been holding. "Then what's the emergency?"
"Warren went to the airport to pick him up and found out he never got on the plane."
The possibility that Ben might not show up for the wedding filled Amy with equal parts disappointment and relief. Disappointment because she'd wanted to see him again, to prove to herself that she was completely over her teenage crush. And relief because she was apprehensive about the reunion, in case she wasn't as over that crush as she wanted to believe.
What had started as infatuation had grown and deepened during the summer after ninth grade. One day, she'd snuck over to the park with some table scraps for a stray dog that had been hanging around thereand found Ben feeding the hungry animal. The dog didn't have a license or a tag, but he did have a collar with the name "Barkley" etched in the leather. For three weeks, Amy and Ben had made frequent trips to the park to give the animal food and water. She'd wanted to take Barkley home, but Lisa was allergic to dogs. Ben had considered doing the same, but his mother wouldn't let any animals in her house. Their shared concern about the dog had been proof to Amy that there was a soul-deep connection between them, and for a long time she'd believed they were destined to be together forever. She didn't believe in such things anymore.
Pushing the memory aside, she focused on her sister's present concern about the best man. "He probably took another flight."
"This is the third snag," Lisa said. "And Warren will be so disappointed if Ben isn't here for the wedding."
"He'll be disappointed, but nothing will stand in the way of his exchanging vows with the woman he loves."
Lisa exhaled a shuddery sigh. "You're right. I'm overreacting."
"Understandable," Amy assured her.
"But you'll be at the church by six o'clock, won't you?"
"I'm leaving the hospital in ten minutes to deliver the favors to the hotel, and then I'll be right there," she promised.
After her sister's heartfelt "thank you," Amy disconnected the call and tucked her phone into her purse.
As she walked through the staff room, Dr. Justin Garrett let out a wolf whistle. "Wow, Jensen. Put a dress on you, and you actually look like a girl."
"Dial down the charm, Garrett. You're going to make me blush."
He smiled, flashing white teeth and mouthwatering dimples that had made a lot of women blushand more. "Seriously, it's a good thing I'm on call tonight, because you're going to give that ex-boyfriend of yours a coronary when he sees you."
"Maybeif he's there," she told him.
Justin's brows lifted. "Your best man's AWOL?"
"I thought you were my best man," she teased. "Well, mine and every other woman's."
"Some days it's a blessing, some days a curse," he said. "But since I'm going to be at the wedding tomorrow, I'm happy to pose as your date, if you want one."
She was touched by the offer. Shortly after Lisa had accepted Warren's proposal, Amy had worked a long shift in the ER with Justin and, during a lull in the early hours, she'd confided her history with her sister's fiancé's brother. And Justin being Justin, he no doubt remembered every word of that conversation.
"Thanks," she said sincerely. "But I can handle it."
He nodded. "Let me know if you change your mind."
"I will," she agreed.
She passed the triage waiting room on her way to the door, pausing when she recognized a woman seated in one of the plastic chairs with a little boy in her lap.
"Hey, Chloe," she greeted the mother, then crouched down and gently touched the back of her hand to the child's cheek. He was pale and feverish, and his skin was clammy. "Who's this" she wracked her brain for the names of her friend's two boys "Ethan or Owen?"
"Simon." Chloe's smile was weary. "He's my third."
"I guess it's been a while," she noted, her attention already shifting to the child again. "How old are you, Simon?"
He held up two fingers, then unfurled a third.
"His birthday was last week," Chloe explained.
"What are his symptoms?"
"Fever, lethargy, stomach pains."
Chloe shook her head just as Simon bent over and threw up his spaghettiOsall over Amy's DVF curve-hugging jersey dress.
Ben rented a car.
It was an eight-and-a-half hour drive from New York City to Charisma, but he preferred driving to waiting. He'd planned to rent one anyway so that he would have his own transportation while he was in North Carolina. It had made sense until he hit the gridlock and construction delays that added almost two hours to his travel. He also hadn't anticipated that thoughts of Amy would be his constant companion throughout the journey.
He had fond memories of her and all the days they'd spent together, but he was surprised to realize just how many memories he had. She'd been an integral part of the life he'd left behind. He'd missed her when he left, and had continued to miss her for a very long time afterward. Not that he'd admitted it back then, because he'd had plans for his life that didn't include his high school girlfriend.
Out of sight, out of mindor so he'd wanted to believe. But occasionally, when he'd been sleeping in a cave in Afghanistan or shivering in a tent in Husavik or fending off rats in Deshnoke, it was dreams of Amy that had helped him get through the night. The memory of her radiant smile had given him light in his darkest hours, and thoughts of her sweet kisses had kept him warm on the coldest days.
At sixteen, Amy had been soft and sweet and innocent and loving. She'd given him everything he'd askedand more. He'd loved her, but he'd still left her without looking back. Because he'd suspected that if he didn't get out of town right after graduation, he might never want to go. So he'd said goodbye to Charisma and to Amy, but he'd never forgotten her.
From his brother, he'd learned that she'd gone to medical school as she'd planned and returned to Charisma to work in the ER at Mercy Hospital. The last time he'd asked about her, Warren had said she was engaged. Ben hadn't asked again. And he'd refused to believe that his increasing dissatisfaction with his own life had any connection to the knowledge that she'd obviously moved on with her lifewithout him. After all, it was what he'd told her to do.
More than two years had passed since he'd learned of her engagement, so she was likely married by now. Which meant that her husband would be at the wedding with her. As unreasonable and unrealistic as it was, he didn't want to think about her being with another man, kissing another man, loving another man. So as he drove, Ben cranked up the volume on the radio in an attempt to drown out the unwelcome thoughts.
When he got to the hotel, he left a message for Warren. His cell phone had died en route, preventing him from checking in with his brother, and he wanted to reassure the groom that he would be at the church for the rehearsal. Though his schedule was tight, Ben indulged in a shower and took the time to shave three day's growth from his jaw, and he still managed to arrive at the church a full nine minutes before the scheduled six o'clock rehearsal.
Several vehicles were in the lot already, making him suspect that he was the last to arrivesecond last, he amended, as another car pulled into the empty spot beside his while he took a minute to stretch his legs. The other driver exited her vehicle and Ben caught a glimpse of pale blonde hair out of the corner of his eye. But more than the hair color, it was the quick and involuntary jolt of his heart that confirmed her identity.
"Amy Jensen."

Roald Dahl would have loved it: a monstrous eruption of greenery, ballooning skyward from a small suburban front garden; unstoppable, as if fed by some carelessly discarded bottle of magic potion.
It is indeed a thing to behold: the hedge, if one dare call it such, at number 152 Churchway, in the Weston Mill district of Plymouth.
A mushroom cloud of leylandii expanding not just vertically but horizontally, threatening to absorb everything - garden walls, houses, south-west England perhaps - in its path.
And somewhere in there, somewhere in its dark recesses, lives its creator, David Alvand, a man who, to put it mildly, likes his privacy.
Mr Alvand planted 16 leyland cypress trees (cupressocyparis leylandii) when he moved in some 20 years ago, and boy!, haven't they done well? Thirty-five feet tall now.
Roger Coath may beg to differ. He lives next door in the rain shadow created by the trees, and cannot grow a decent lawn for lack of light.
The seasons come and the seasons go, but for Mr Coath there is only green. This is one of those British Leylandii stories, a tale of cold war between neighbours; a battle of wills that has already resulted in one court hearing.
"You certainly can't see the house through the trees," says Roger Palfrey, who lives opposite. "Roger doesn't like heights and the gutters are full of needles, and he can't grow any grass. The rootage system underneath must be phenomenal; it can't be doing the infrastructure underneath the roads any good."
Mr Palfrey is friends with Mr Coath. Mr Alvand doesn't appear to be in the market for friends.
Some of his neighbours have complained about the hedge to Plymouth City Council, which is hoping to resolve the dispute through negotiation. Mr Alvand, though, has a reputation for standing his ground. This is the second time he has faced a formal complaint over the use of his land.
In 2003, he lost a legal battle against a nine-foot high fence built around his property, dubbed the Berlin Wall, resulting in a £700 fine and costs. According to Mr Alvand, there is "no story to tell". But there is: of the British fascination with turf wars.
An estimated 360,000 families move home each year in this crowded little archipelago because of disruptive or oppressive neighbours. A poll by YouGov suggests Britons are half as neighbourly as 30 years ago. We now know the names of just seven neighbours, compared with 13 in 1982.
"A ready instrument in the hands of the bully," is how Clare Hinchliffe describes leylandii, a hybrid born in the 19th century which can sprout three feet in a year.
Mrs Hinchliffe is a member of Hedgeline, a group set up to help people oppressed by hedges, and which, let's face it, could only exist in Britain.
"Leylandii and high hedges can change lives. Light is a shared commodity. If you are enjoying more privacy than others by depriving others of their light, you shouldn't be."
Of course, we've been fighting turf wars for ever. Man is a territorial beast, and so are his antecedents. Researchers from the University of Michigan studying chimpanzee communities in Uganda discovered that they engage in land grabs, killing rivals and colonising their territory.
Another US study shows that ethnic violence is rare in places where groups are totally mixed or totally separate - fighting and ethnic cleansing tending to occur in areas of partial separation with blurred boundaries. So, good fences make good neighbours, as the saying goes. Not in the case of Mr Alvand and his Frankensteinian leylandii, though.
At any one time, some 17,000 people in the United Kingdom are at loggerheads over hedges. In 2001, an environmental officer was actually shot dead while attending to one dispute in Wales.
In 2005, a new section was introduced into the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003. Known as the Leylandii Law, it provided a legal avenue for people oppressed by over-tall hedges.
"If Mr Alvand and his neighbours cannot agree a way forward, then our tree officers will need to visit the property and take measurements to determine the action hedge height," warns Plymouth City Council. They had better bring a decent tape measure.

My mother-in-law is driving me crazy. Help!
Ever since my daughter was born, I?ve been fed up with my mother-in-law. Everything she does annoys me: The way she refers to my daughter as 'our' little bundle of joy. The way she insists we call her 'Granny' and her husband 'Pop-Pop.' And the way she drops by for surprise visits and calls us every day. I know she's excited about her first grandchild, but she?s driving me nuts. I?ve told my husband how I feel, but he doesn?t agree. Are my hormones making me feel like this? Is anyone else this annoyed by their mother-in-law?

Hey there - it's great to feel others have similar problems and strategies, it can feel so lonely dealing with a nightmare mother in law! Because ultimately it's the one problem you can't fully share and resolve with your partner. He may put you first, but she's still his mother and he can't very well ban her from the house. My son is two months old and I absolutely love being a mum. Every moment is magical. My parents are great, they give me space to feel I'm a great mother learning on the job. My son is healthy and the midwife says I'm doing a good job. So then the only black cloud is my mother in law, who literally acts as if I've given birth to her child. She gets moody if she can't hold him the whole time we're with her, and makes decisions like whether to undress, change or carry him or put him in his cot without asking me or my partner. I found this extremely upsetting and ended up depressed after each time I saw her. I was so tired in the days after the birth that the only way I could defend myself was to make a rule that I'd only see her with my partner, and not take her up on her "kind offers" to come round and watch him. As the early weeks of motherhood wore on I lost the early doubts about my own abilities, and grew stronger, I realised she, not I, was in the wrong because HE'S MY CHILD. I decided that if a mother in law trying to still be queen bee (she ruled the roost with her husband and two sons for thirty years and now seems to see me as a threat) is the challenge I have to deal to fight for the happiness of my times with my partner and child, then I figured that I would accept that, and deal with her by being confident, assertive, and above all eminating happiness so that she could see she couldn't get to me. That seemed to work fine, but in the end increased her jealousy. The last time she was round I looked up to find her feeding a dessert to my wholly breast fed two month old. I was horrified, and said firmly in front of the rest of her family, including her other son's girlfriend (who's probably thinking long and hard about whether to have kids!) "no don't give him that, he can't have anything that's not breastmilk." She took it off his lips. Turns out that feeding cow's milk to breastfeds even just once can increase the likelihood of allergies, eszema and asthma in babies, especially if those run in the family already (eszema runs in my partner's family). This woman hasn't looked after a baby for 25 years and has no right to walk into my house and feed my baby without asking me. She bottle fed and doesn't know about breastfeeding. I am incensed. I have been crying a lot, my relationship is affected, and I don't want to leave the baby with her again. I shall continue to be assertive as I think that telling her in front of everyone was the best way to resolve a bad situation, short of banning her from the house. I shall report back as to whether my assertive strategy works. Above all, girls, let's remember these are OUR babies, and any mother in law who relies on them as a sole source of happiness is being unfair above all to the child and should get a life of her own that doesn't revolve around a sweet little baby. She can be a granny, not try to re-live her motherhood. Oh and yes it's her first grandchild. I have heard similar situations from many mothers giving birth to the first grandchild. We must not be like this to our daughters in law! Much love and good luck, suzeposted 11/02/2004 by Suzesuze
Megan - Thanks for your reply, I was certainly having a stressful day. My son did spend the morning with her - everything ended up fine, but I was full of anxiety the entire time my baby was gone. I do think it is healthy for him to experience different things and learn from different people, but I just felt an overwhelming need to be there and protect him. When they returned for their outing, I just took my baby and she said "I would like to hold him" and took him back. It was unbelievable.. I had company or else I would've lost my cool. I read your past comments and I'm sorry to hear that you had to cut all ties with your mother in law. Family is so important - I treasure the time I spent with my granny, hopefully after some time passes she'll realize that she can't be so controlling. It sounds like she thinks of your husband more like a "husband" than a son - that is terribly unhealthy - she should not have been so dependent on him - your husband probably feels obligated to take care of her. She needs counseling. It seems like most women have some kind of issue with their MILs. It's so sad. I guess we should make a mental note of this and try to form better relationships with our daughters in law in the future. For now, I am just going to try to relax a little, I am probably a little overprotective, our little ones will soon be old enough to shout "I want my Mommy!" and that will make us feel better. :) I wish you the best of luck. Your family is in my thoughts.posted 08/24/2004 by bluejayfan
I know exactly how you feel!! My mother-in-law live about a mile away, but it feels like she lives right next door. At first it was she didn't want to come bother us, so she would make us feek guilty so we would go visit and bring the baby to her. Well, when she realized that wasn't working and I never brought our daughter over,(who wants to haul a newborn baby all around..)she started to come over. Not all the time, but she would never call first. Of course it was always at a bad time. It was always, my baby, I'm going to get her blessed not baptised,I'm going to tell her to do this..blah blah..blahhhhh) Now we have one of the happiest, cheerful, bright baby ever. she started sleeping through the night almost right away, and hardly ever cried unless she was hungry, needed a diaper change or wanted to be put down, and fussed a little right before she fell asleep. Well, my mother-in=law told everyone she knows how colic our baby, and everytime my husband or I would say anything about our daughter she would say " well with her colic in all....." I would get SO outraged! Also, my father-in-law is disabled from a stroke and a heart attack. We have a wake and a funneral to go to tonight and tomorrow. (this is the first grandchild). My father-in-law's mother just passed away and she tells him that he can hold the baby the whole time. She tells this to a man that can not walk very well and needs a wheelchair 85% of the time and a walker the rest of the time, and who has the mind of a child in some areas. Now how do I sy differently to that man. The nicest man. Who is she to tell who gets my daughter. Who is she to say I am going to bring a 2 month old to a funeral. I also can't walk into her house without her right on my tale. I don't even get my daughter out of her car seat before she is trying to take her away from me and smush her chubby cheeks. I never get to see my child when I go over there. She tells me who is going to change her, who is going to feed her, who is going to hold her. This is my first child...I think...she has had her children and has enjoyed them, let me have my turn. Anywyas, hang in there. Just don't let it come between you and your husband. It sparks a fire alot between my husband and I, but we come together and he just lets me vent out at him and conplain about it the him. He also tells me it's my baby and I get to say what happens. Stick up for yourself. You are the one that has to deal with afussy baby the next day or even that night if she gets over stimulated( It does happen) so say something. She will get over it. I think I am going to do my best tonight to stick up for myself and take my child when I want her back. Good Luck! your not alone!posted 03/23/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
This is for Stressed. Good for your husband for finally talking to your MIL. He must make it very clear that your family, you, himself and your unborn son are his priority and he should ask her to respect you as his wife. Most often, hubby's failure to set up boundries between his controlling and emotionally unhealthy parent(s) makes a difficult situation unbearable. Most certainly, your MIL is immature and unhealthy. You can not change that and frankly worrying about her is time and energy poorly spent considering you have a precious child on the way. Take control and eliminate the time you spend worrying about this woman. Your husband has taken a primary step by talking with her about some of the issues that are concerning for you. When you deal with her, again confront her negative behavior in a calm and direct way. This is not about cursing and getting involved in alot of drama with her. Just calmly say, "that wasn't very nice" or "I don't appreciate it when you make plans for us". Sure that you get the idea, here. This should be an extraordinary and most joyous time in your life and don't let a boorish, childish, manipulative and unhealthy person steal your joy! Again, can't say this enough you have no control over this woman or her behavior. Take control over the things that you do have power over, mainly your reactions to her, the power you have to verbally confront her negative and inappropriate behavior and take control over your own mental focus and your own emotional state of being. Claim your power here! Best of luck and best wishes Anonymousposted 01/30/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I totally agree with you!! Mine does the same thing!!! Her first grandchild (my husband bother;s daughter) they always tried pawning their kids off with her just to get away from them and I DON'T want to do that! The baby is my responibilty and I don't want to just pawn him off. She always wants us to bring our son to her house BUT NOT ONCE has she ever been to our house since he was born. So I agree with you y send he child away just because the grandparents want them..posted 06/08/2012 by cowgirlchellie
I felt the same way when my son was born. My mother in law insisted on being called grandmama. It was annoying at first but now it is just fine to me. I'm very protective of my son and I research everything to make sure he is ok. My mother in law would try and tell me how to do stuff. But I already knew alot of stuff from research. On the other hand there are alot of stuff that she told me I didn't know. Your mother in law just needs to understand that your the mother and your in charge and to only give advice when its needed.posted 05/18/2012 by wynnie1986
My mil drives me crazy also i was nice enough to let her be in the delivery room for the birth of my daughter because she wanted to. Big mistake! I had major back labor and was very uncomfortable and shes talking about nonsence....my mom told her to shut up. Now my daughter is 2 and she is trying to talk and she will say something and my mil will tell me what she says.....thats MY daughter i know what she says! Also when i disipline my daughter my mil will pick her up and baby her when shes crying....umm no....she just got introuble. Never let your mil babysit your child full time! My daughter didnt start walking until she was iver a year old bc she carried her around all the time. I could vent all night but i would fill the whole page up.posted 06/01/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Wow to the last poster... We have the same mil ... Only I point out refuse to give her over nighters. Whats with ppl that think they have the right to have our children?? I don't get it.posted 07/22/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm in a similar situation.. I got a bit upset when I read GrandmaSandras post. I understand that grandparents are excited about having a new baby in the family and want to be a part of their life. Unfortunately you are not the parent so stop acting like you are!! Nothing about taking care of that child is your right! It's a privilege to be a part of that childs life. How can you say shame on you??? She's the mother and if her mother in law is not respection bounderies and making her life difficult it's her right to say something about it. You had your kids it's your time to back off and let the mother take care of her kids.How would you feel if your mother in law acted like your kids belonged to her??posted 04/17/2012 by svh24
I can't tell you all how happy I am to see stories so similar to mine. Here's my little rant lol: My MIL to be is completely obsessive over my baby that it is practically rude. When I first had my son, she came in the room and said to me "Don't hold the baby too long after you feed him", no "Hi" nothing? Rude. My partner had a personal feud with his parents so we stopped going to their house with the baby. Turns out they helped themselves to half of the baby's money which was a gift from my partner's uncle. Rude. I was happy with this, however being the guilty sucker I am, when it came to Christmas I suggested we let his parents see the baby. BAD CHOICE! The MIL thought it was her opportunity to once again, start her obsession. Last weekend we were there and she came into the room while we were all asleep, shook the baby awake and took him away. SO RUDE!!!!!!!! She demands him every weekend. I just can't take it anymore!!posted 02/01/2011 by dae27

How to take this…
Timothy Kincaid
February 22nd, 2012
The Phoenix New Times is running an article about Paul Babeu which, from the perspective of a gay man, I'm not sure exactly how to take. Let me just tell you and you make up your own mind.
In a piece titled "Demands Grow for Full Investigation into Allegations Against Sheriff Paul Babeu", they move the focus from abuse of power to a discussion of Babeu's character.
First they quote a primary opponent running as a family values candidate: "Gould said Babeu demonstrated extremely poor judgment by posting explicit photos and information on gay websites, including adam4dam.com." Then later they speak for themselves:
Babeu dismisses the sexually explicit photos he circulated — including to the gay hookup website adam4adam.com — as none of the public's business and part of his personal life.
However, the state Code of Ethics for police officers — outlined by the agency that certifies cops in Arizona — declares that "whether on- or off-duty, in uniform or not," law enforcement officials should conduct themselves in a "manner that will not bring discredit or embarrassment" to their agencies.
Babeu no doubt is familiar with the case of fellow ex-Chandler Officer Ronald Dible, who was fired for running a porn website with his wife.
The parallel here is that Dible also claimed he could be a law enforcement officer and do whatever he pleased during personal time.
Then they post the "sexually explicit photo" which Babeu "circulated", it's him with his shirt off. It's a "private" photo, which on adam4adam means that it can only be seen by other members of the social media site to whom Babeu unlocks the picture.
Another photo of Babeu in his underwear is published by the paper but this picture appears to be a private photograph that was not posted on the site. It isn't clear where they got this picture or why it is included.
Like I said, I'm not sure how to take this…
To me it sound like "If you have a gay social media membership and you have a private picture with your shirt off, you bring discredit and embarrassment to your employer, just like a porn producer does." But others may have a different take on the article.

Although they play some traditional songs, most of the songs they sing are their own compositions influenced by the folk tradition, but also songs by other artists such as Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Cole Porter, Brian Wilson and The Beatles. Jonny Kearney takes lead vocals, guitar, piano and ukulele; Lucy Farrell plays fiddle, viola and sawand adds their harmony vocals. Together they produce a sparse sound described by The Guardian as Ô[][]delicate, thoughtful and intimate.Ô[]Ø Kearney is from Hexham in Northumberland and Farrell from Maidstone in Kent. They met whilst studying on Newcastle University's Folk and Traditional Music course in 2005, where Kearney was awarded the Alan Hull prize for songwriting. Having gigged at folk clubs and festivals, including Green Man, End of the Road and Cambridge Folk Festival, they came to the attention of fellow North East England folk musicians The Unthanks. Adrian McNally from The Unthanks produced their first six-song EP entitled The North Farm Sessions after the farm belonging to Rachel Unthank and Adrian McNally, where it was recorded. The EP, released in May 2010 on Rabble Rouser Records, comprised largely their own compositions with a rearrangement of one traditional song, and met with effusive reviews from The Guardian, Uncut, Q Magazine and MTV. Tracks from the EP were featured on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 3 and BBC 6 Music with a Campfire Special session recorded for Rob da BankÔ[][]s Radio 1 show in October 2010.

Regional Presence
|The "Last Mile"
In an article first published by Ilsussidiario.net, Secretary General of AVSI Alberto Piatti reveals a potential gap between international cooperation systems and the persons they hope to reach.
The international community—following a path marked by the series of international conferences in the 1990s: Rio de Janeiro on Environment and Development, 1992, the twentieth anniversary of which was celebrated this year with the Rio +20 Conference on Sustainable Development; Cairo on Population and Development, 1994; Beijing on Women, 1995; Copenhagen on Social Development, 1995; Istanbul on Human Settlements (Habitat II), 1996—has pledged to create a "better world". That commitment has been translated synthetically and symbolically into the eight Millennium Goals to be achieved by 2015: eradicate extreme poverty and hunger; achieve universal primary education; promote gender equality and empower women; reduce child mortality; improve maternal health; combat HIV / AIDS, malaria and other diseases; guarantee environmental sustainability; and develop a global partnership for development. This is the "social infrastructure" that the international community has defined for itself.
However, it has become clear that these goals will not be met by the deadline, due to both immediate economic reasons – the recent financial and food crises—as well as to the larger structural problem in the current conception of aid. Even if these goals had been met, experience tells us that social infrastructure in itself is not enough: a further link is needed between the individual and the infrastructure (an access point, a gateway, a hub). As this link inevitably depends upon personal initiative, it proves to be the point of weakness for those people who are most vulnerable and those living in informal areas, cut off from the system.
The task of creating relationships with the most fragile people has historically been taken up by the community to which they belong. Still, to make this social infrastructure solid it is necessary that the relationship becomes systematic: the community organizes its own utilities and services, intermediate bodies and civil society organizations (CSOs). These allow each person, even the most fragile, to "latch on" to a community and thus to the social infrastructure. In other words, the "last mile" in the road of social infrastructure is built and maintained by civil society organizations.
Note: this inclusive relationship brings an added richness to society and to the community: that of the persons who would otherwise be excluded. Generally perceived as a "social cost" or "burden", the fragile classes of society—developing populations and minorities—become instead a true resource for the future, especially for our world in the midst of a crisis and in search of new paradigms to move forward again. In order for this to happen, there must be an inclusive growth which strengthens intermediate bodies and does not discount their fundamental role of being the last mile to reach each person.
Four critical points direct the way on this path:
Pope Benedict XVI spoke of the inborn and innate dignity of every human being, which can be at most veiled by poverty, disease, or hunger. Without the rediscovery of this innate dignity that makes each person a unique protagonist in front of the mystery of life, real social development cannot begin. For this, we do not need a kind of Statalist system at the international level, claiming to resolve all of our problems. We must, instead, promote the different forms of free association, locally-motivated problem solving, and organizations that provide services for the person and for the common good. These organizations should be valued because they are an expression of the mystery of human existence. The tendency of the current system of delivering development aid through mere budget support—the direct funding of governments—does not support those civil society organizations that have been operating effectively on the ground before the government, as it is conceived of today, existed.
This is especially true for the African continent. An approach of subsidiarity would call for the international community to recognize that the purpose of their presence is to be that last mile necessary to ensure that the person is the origin and purpose of all actual social infrastructures. As mentioned in the Pope's recent encyclical Caritas in Veritate, "The principle of subsidiarity must remain closely linked to the principle of solidarity and vice versa, since the former without the latter gives way to social privatism, while the latter without the former gives way to paternalist social assistance that is demeaning to those in need".
Pope John Paul II, in the 2001 apostolic letter Novo Millennio Ineunte, cited Father Orione, writing: "Now is the time for a new creativity in charity". Attempting to exercise this "creativity", international cooperation for development can no longer be segmented into different sectors and organizations, but should be an integrated, systematic cooperation in which institutions, non-profits, companies and researchers all work together within their distinct roles. These are the four pillars that must support the platform of cooperation for the third millennium.

Mo. levee owners to get levee repair help
Originally published December 6, 2011 at 3:09 p.m., updated December 6, 2011 at 11:17 p.m.
A northwest Missouri levee that was dropped from a federal repair program shortly before record flooding caused $4 million in damage has been reinstated to the program, landowners who oversee the levee said Tuesday.
Paul Markt, president of the Forest City Levee District, offered no details other than to confirm the reinstatement to an Army Corps of Engineers program that helps cover the costs of repairing flood-damaged levees.
The Forest City Levee District learned in a letter dated May 23 that it had failed an inspection and would no longer qualify for federal help making repairs after flooding. A week later, the corps began releasing massive amounts of water from upstream dams filled with record runoff from rain and winter snows.
Jud Kneuvean, emergency management chief for the corps' Kansas City district, didn't immediately return a phone call Tuesday. But he has said the timing was "coincidental" and if the levee district was reinstated, it would be eligible to receive help fixing damage from this year's flood.
Gov. Jay Nixon said the corps made the right decision.
"This is a victory for the farmers and residents of Holt County, who suffered greatly from the Missouri River flooding this year," Nixon said in a statement released Tuesday evening.
When the floodwaters subsided, local officials found a massive hole next to the Holt County levee. The hole was 20- to 30-feet deep, more than a quarter-mile long and more than 100 yards wide, according to Lanny Meng, secretary treasurer of the Forest City Levee District.
An engineer hired to conduct a preliminary damage assessment told the levee district it would cost about $4 million to make the needed repairs.
The levee protects about 300 people and 8,000 acres of land, a grain elevator and the main line of the Burlington-Northern Railroad. But Meng has said the district, which taxes landowners to pay for the levee's upkeep, is essentially broke.
Nixon had joined the effort to have the program reinstated and sent a letter to the corps last week.
The corps and the levee district said one of the main problems that led to the district's dismissal from the program is that a pipe used to pump water from the protected side of the levee back into the river ran directly through the levee. Such drainage pipes generally are supposed to go over the top of the levee.
Kneuvean of the corps has said the district had been warned not to pump water through the levee but kept doing it.

Some folks in Franklin County may have thought they were under attack this week when a submarine came swimming up to the shore.
Not to worry; this time the torpedo tubes were empty and disarmed.
This used to be parked at Universal Studios. The new owner tells us it was used in the movies Titanic and Deep Quest.
But before that it was a military weapon which had planted an American flag at the bottom of the ocean and attacked Japanese Zeroes.
"It was made by Lockheed Military Company in 1967. It holds the deepest dive by Navy and 7 man submersible at 8,710 feet. Only two were made."
During commission the U.S. used it to search for black boxes from crashed planes in the bottom of the pacific.
This crew bought it, worked on it for two years at a cost of a million dollars.
And it is now headed for New Jersey.
It only travels five knots per nautical mile on the surface and is no longer able to dive underwater.

i'm super early in my pregnancy at the middle of 6 weeks. if baby decides to continue growing (i sure hope so!), i'll need to find a hospital. i've been doing research on diff hospitals in NYC but i always feel that people's experiences are the most helpful.
did you like the hospital? was it clean? were the nurses nice? were there lactation consultants? did you feel pressured to have a c-section?
any help. thoughts. ideas. all would be so awesome.

Uglies ReflectionJanuary 21st, 2014
Uglies is an astonishing book that takes place in a future society about a girl named Tally who wants nothing more than to be pretty.
Uglies definitely relates to my school life. In the book, people get an operation to make themselves 'pretty' because it's the biggest trend in their society. At school today, I feel like I'm sometimes trying to follow the biggest trends just because everyone else is. Another similarity between our societies is that there seems to be different social classes. In Uglies, the upper classes are the specials and the pretties because the specials are in charge and everyone wants to be pretty. At school, the upper class is the 'popular group'. Also, everyone wants to be popular at school just like every pretty dreams of becoming the most popular.
As I was reading Uglies, I realized that I would much rather live in our society than the one in the book. First of all, they rely entirely on technology. Nearly everyone in the city doesn't know how to write with a pen and paper because they are only required to know how to use electronics, even for school, and they communicate entirely through technology. Another reason that I prefer living in our society is the fact that we have more freedom. We can travel wherever we want to without getting in trouble for it, unlike in the book. The people in Tally's town aren't allowed to go outside the boundaries of the city because the specials don't want anyone to attempt to make a break for it. They stay within the confines of the city their entire life. In the book, uglies get an operation that is supposed to make them 'pretty' and makes them feel bad about themselves because they have supposedly ugly faces. I'm glad that we don't have this operation because it's one more way to bring a person's spirits down.
One of the characters that really stood out to me was Crowe. For one, he's really smart and intelligent. He figured out that Tally had been lying about how long it took her on her journey to the Smoke, a place for runaway uglies, by counting the amount of food she had left in her bag and comparing it to the amount of food that she claimed she had eaten while traveling. Also, he was kind to Tally even though he had originally been suspicious of her. For example, when the specials invaded the Smoke, Crowe told everyone to take off their shoes so that Tally could choose a pair and escape since she was barefoot. Crowe reminds me of myself in a way because he's always willing to lend a helping hand to a person in need, and he tries to stay strong even when things aren't going right. When Crowe found out that Tally was behind the destruction of the Smoke, he quickly got over his shock and tried to move forward from it.
Overall, I think Uglies is a five star book because of its unique setting and distinct characters.

ATLANTA (AP) — On the day consumers start perusing newly launched federal online health exchanges, Republican governors who oppose President Barack Obama's insurance overhaul are mostly sitting on their hands. But the law is going into effect without them.
Thirty-six states, most of them Republican-controlled, opted to let the federal government run exchanges where consumers can shop for individual policies from private insurance firms.
Consumers are getting their first opportunity on Tuesday to buy policies on the exchanges, even as the law remains at the core of congressional budget gridlock that has caused a partial federal government shutdown. The exchanges' funding isn't affected by the shutdown.
A spokesman for Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal dismissed the sweeping law as "a federal issue" and said his boss had no plans to discuss the launch of the exchanges.
State workers in several other GOP-run states were ordered to refer all questions from residents to federal officials. In Oklahoma, state employees were instructed to tell residents they are "not trained or certified to answer questions about the Federal Insurance Marketplace."
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said her state Medicaid agency fielded calls from residents, including some frustrated by error messages because of heavy online traffic at healthcare.gov. She said the agency would try to help, but she was quick to take a swipe at the law and its federal backers.
"Our job is to get the information out there. The feds' job is to make it work. Unfortunately, it's not working," Haley said. "We're going to continue doing what we can, but this is continuing to be the mess we thought it would be."
Marilyn Tavenner, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services that manages the healthcare.gov website, defended her agency's work on what she called a "historic day."
"With any new product launch, there are going to be glitches, and we are going to fix them," she said late Tuesday afternoon. "We added capacity and we made adjustments to the system."
Tavenner also noted that Tuesday was just the first day of a six-month enrollment period, though consumers must buy policies by Dec. 15 for coverage to begin Jan. 1, 2014.
With near-absolute Republican opposition, consumers looking for help must turn to non-government agencies. Hospitals, health clinics and local community groups are using federal grants to pay "navigators" who are trained to help residents use the new marketplace.
Navigators must complete 20 hours of online training offered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to be certified. But even those federally paid aides face obstacles.
Florida's health department ordered county health departments to ban navigators from their property. Wisconsin and Indiana charged training fees for the navigators and volunteers.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry ordered that navigators in his state train for an additional 40 hours, submit to background checks and pass new exams before being certified to help residents. In Tennessee, Gov. Bill Haslam's Commerce Department also imposed background checks on navigators.

Friday, August 8, 10 a.m.-ish: I'm at The Hundred-Foot Journey, and five minutes into this lighthearted foodie dramedy, I'm already regretting my decision to only have yogurt for breakfast. With director Lasse Hallström's camera slavering over the creation of steaming, succulent pots and grills of Indian cuisine, all of it enhanced by spices and oils whose aromas are practically wafting off the screen, this is not the movie to see if you're hungry. Considering screenwriter Steven Knight's T-shirt-ready dialogue – which features such pithy bromides as "Life has its own flavor," "We cook to make ghosts," and the grammatically vexing "Food is memories" – it's not really the movie to see if your brain is hungry, either.

Another year of area stage productions has come and gone, and wanting to try something different this December, Reader theatre reviewer Thom White and I thought we'd bypass our traditional, end-of-year postmortem in favor of an alternate approach: requesting 100-words-or-fewer submissions from our readers on what people found particularly memorable about the 2013 stage scene. "It'll be something new!" we thought. "It'll be exciting! It'll be filled with fresh voices that aren't ours!" And, I must admit, we were dazzled with the overall response.
Well, "dazzled" may be overstating it.
Hmmm ... what's the word I'm looking for ... ?
"Mortified," maybe ... ?

But when people hear what we're actually doing, they either say, 'That's really great!' or they say, 'You people are insane.'"

Lakeland, FL - The Rickards boys basketball team is heading back to the Class 3A state championship game.
Coach Eli Bryant and the Raiders played in the 3A State Semifinals Wednesday night against Pine Crest High School out of Fort Lauderdale, FL.

But when the final OT buzzer sounded, the scoreboard read: Rickards 73, Pine Crest 67.
The win means Rickards will play Thursday night in Lakeland for the Class 3A State Championship trophy and a chance at winning back-to-back State Titles.

5 Rocket Stocks to Buy This Week
Stockpickr) -- This morning's muted price action is setting us up for a quiet week for stocks, at least compared with the excitement that's been keeping things interesting for the last few weeks. After rallying more than 6% in the last few weeks, the S&P 500 is ready to take a breather. A pause in the broad market doesn't mean that it'll be a quiet week for all stocks -- only for stocks in general. Indeed, it's shaping up to be another market-beating week for a handful of new Rocket Stock names in May.>>5 Huge Stocks to Trade: Must-See Charts Today, we'll take a closer look at five of them.

To find them, I run a weekly quantitative screen that seeks out stocks with a combination of analyst upgrades and positive earnings surprises to identify rising analyst expectations, a bullish signal for stocks in any market. After all, where analysts' expectations are increasing, institutional cash often follows. In the last 199 weeks, our weekly list of five plays has outperformed the S&P 500 by 75.5%.
