One of the major mistakes in development that has led to the difficult situation in Indian Land is the failure to anticipate and provide for the infrastructure required to support that development.
Developers build houses and houses become homes because people come to live in them. Those people need roads, traffic control, schools, libraries, water and sewers, police and fire protection and EMS and 911 services.
It seems that every few months or so I put an article in the paper to tell you, my friends and neighbors, about the plight of some of the innocent pets in our community. Today is not so different, but I will tell you about the plight of the Humane Society of Lancaster SC.
A decent respect for our history and heritage demands that over the Fourth of July holidays we do more than just eat barbecue, watch fireworks or go fishing.
For many years, I have made it a practice every Fourth of July to read the Declaration of Independence and spend some time in study of the men and events that surround this momentous and defining event in the life of our country. This year, I was struck by both the age and wealth of the signers from South Carolina. So, who were they?
Thomas Heyward Jr.
I am a mom. It is the hardest and most rewarding job I could ever imagine. My first child was born when I was quite young, my second not far behind.
I am one of the lucky moms. I have a wonderful family, a great pediatrician and supportive co-workers, who all gave me guidance during my pregnancy and in those early days of the kids' lives.
There are many moms in our state who have less help in the journey we call parenting.
Some may not have role models as I do in my own mother and grandmothers. Some may not enjoy health-care or prenatal-care benefits.
It is always interesting to read articles in magazines and newspapers where people with great knowledge spill their wisdom concerning the feelings of our public school system.
This had gone on for years and years. Yet, for some reason or other, all these wonderful ideas are wasted. The one big whipping pole is money or according to most of these wise people, money wasted on public school in South Carolina.
Who would ever have thought the fascination of a 5-year-old child would result in helping rescue a building years later? But that is the catalyst that inspired the city of Lancaster to step up and fund repair work to the Cultural Arts Center.
Restoration efforts had been underway sporadically since 1976, but progress was hampered by insufficient funding. With the reinfestation of bats in the early 1990s, use of the building ceased and repairs foundered.
Well, it is summertime and graduation has come and gone. For those who do not rush off to college, I am guessing mom and dad are probably encouraging you to get out and find a job.
And with that being said, I have some advice for you related to the job interview process. No, I am not going to bore you with the mechanics of how to build a resume, merely tell you what employers are looking for in today's work environment and prospective candidate.
America is the first country in history to be founded based on individual liberty. The principles of liberty are timeless. The concepts apply as much today just as they did more than 200 years ago.
Our founders knew firsthand the misery and suffering caused by tyranny. They came from societies where government controlled its citizens with an iron fist. They had a solid understanding of the consequences of unchecked power.
Most people like having new cars. Unfortunately, with new cars come taxes and it's important for you to understand what taxes are due and how to pay them to avoid problems later on.
When buying a vehicle, you must pay local property taxes to Lancaster County Treasurer's Office (these will vary based upon where you live in Lancaster County) and you must also pay a sales tax for the car to the S.C. Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
I'm not much into Washington scandals. Generally, I think they tend to distract us from the fundamental problems that we face as a nation.
Sometimes it seems that our nation's capital would much prefer to focus more on some general's girlfriend than it would on things like balancing the budget. I've also learned that something that might be a front-page scandal to one party when it is in the minority is easily ignored by that same party once it wins a few elections.

Should I ask my mom to be my labor coach?
I want my mother to come with me to my birthing classes and be my birthing coach, instead of my baby's father. My relationship with him is over, and though he's still involved in my pregnancy and will be in our child's life, I think I'd feel more comfortable with my mom helping me through my labor. I know my ex will be angry and upset -- how can I tell him?

Rachel, I think in every comment you have posted you have been hitting the nail right on the head! Way to go! I think that Juliet needs to have alot of positive and moral support for her problem or situation. And in her emotional state she is in, sometimes (we) she can find herself unable to make these desicions on her own without asking someone for advise. Juliet, hang in there and be tough- you can do whatever you put your mind to, and what YOU feel is important is what matters here. Nothing will be resented later on down the road. If the father really wants to be a part of the child's life, he will take whatever opportunity he has available. For the father of my two children, he could care less now, his parents are the ones who pick them up every other weekend, and he sees them Sunday afternoon right before they have to come back home. He remarried and just had another baby, now he doesn't have anything to do with them... and thank God they are still really young, but my daughter is turning 5 on the 20th, and she understands, but really doesn't care because she knows that she is still loved by the ones that matter the most. Best of Luck!posted 02/01/2004 by Bobbi & Heath
I went through the same thing with the birth of my last child. Her father and I were over and I needed support..I also knew that if he was there I would only have added stress which no woman needs during labor. I did have my mother there and she was the best support person I could have picked. Yes my daughters father was very upset and still makes comments but their bond was not affected by him not being in the birthing room.posted 02/01/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Oh, and Sydney, thank you so much for quoting me out of context about my "recreational sex" comment. Maybe you just stopped reading my post, or you would have seen that I said: "Not a lot (I hope), but some do." I'm not saying that I necessarily approve of recreational sex. I'm just recognizing that it exists and that some people do engage in it. It must be nice to pretend the things we don't like don't exist. All the best to you.posted 01/30/2004 by BabyElShami
By all means, if you get along at all (and I pray you do for the sake of your child), have him in the room. You'll never regret it and it can cause a lot of resentment if he wants to be there and is not allowed. Not good for your child. If he really wants to go to the classes also, can't you have two coaches? If you have 2, make sure they can get along with each other for you. You will be lucky to have him want to be so involved esp since you are not together anymore. best of luckposted 01/30/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
My girlfriend went through the same thing, but she was in the middle of a divorce. She had her sister with her for the delivery. The father was mad, but she had to do what was best for her. And so do you, you must be comfortable. She had a c-section so the nurses took the baby right out to him while she recovered. I would let him in the room right after the baby is born, or have him in there if you think you can deal with him. But please do whatever will be best for YOU, you are the one going through all the work. He will get over it, and I would hope be understanding about it. Good luckposted 01/28/2004 by sandyman77
I am also in the same situation. I am no longer with the baby's father, but he promises he will always be in his daughter's life, and he plans on being there when she is born. The hospital I am having my baby in allows you to have up to three people in the labor room with you. I intend to have the father and my mother with me. He will basically just be there as a spectator, but I know my mother will be the one actually getting me through it. I think having your mother is a good idea- she's been through labor before, and she knows what to do. Guys aren't always that helpful. If he really cares, the father will understand that having your mother there is what's best for you.posted 01/28/2004 by sugarcoatedrockstar
I think the answer is simple. Your mom is going to the classes. Your ex is not. Who do you think will be better prepared to support you during labor and delivery when you will need them most? Follow your heart, follow your gut, and don't let anyone guilt you into feeling any other way. If your ex wanted to be supportive of you during this time, he would have started before now. Labor and delivery are hard. The whole process can be scary. If you would feel more comfortable with your mother, then go with her. I wish you all the best and hope that your ex doesn't give you aggravation before the big day. *hug*posted 01/27/2004 by BabyElShami
Your mom should be your coach as the coach is there for you. I still believe that you should allow the baby's father to witness the birth, as this is his child also. You never know he could develop a whole new respect for you after he sees all that you'll be going through. Don't do it for that reason, but, it could happen. Whatever you decide, I wish you the best.posted 01/26/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Juliet, I had been in a similar situation as you. I chose to have my mother there with me and I am very glad that I did. My mother is now deceased and this is one of the best memories that I have. You need someone there that will calm you and you can see and feel the love. I wouldn't say don't let the father be there; that would be wrong. If he wants to be there, let him, but your mother should be "numero uno" from where you get your support.posted 01/26/2004 by Leitoi
Comfort is a serious issue to address. If you don't think he will provide the level of comfort and support you will need, then by all means be honest with him. Let him know you appreciate his involvment in the pregnancy, and if you're comfortable (and the hospital allows) let him be there for the birth. Not as an active participant, but as a spectator. Then he will be close at hand to begin bonding with his new child. Best of luck working on this new aspect of your relationship.posted 01/26/2004 by mamamills77

Immigration Rights and Immigration Enforcement
A. Introduction
There are few, if any, civil contexts in which the presence of competent counsel is as critical as it is in removal proceedings. (1) The stakes are enormous; the field of law, exceedingly complex; and the barriers--such as noncitizens' language difficulties and lack of familiarity with the legal system--considerable. Indeed, the conclusion of several recent studies that representation by counsel is among the most important factors affecting the outcome of immigration proceedings is significant, but unsurprising. (2) And yet, available figures paint a dire picture of both the availability and quality of immigrant representation in removal proceedings. Of the approximately 300,000 immigration proceedings completed each year, only about half involve noncitizens with representation. (3) And when noncitizens do retain counsel, that counsel can be of dubious quality: a 2008 survey, for example, reported federal and state judges' belief that immigration is the area of civil practice "in which the quality of representation [is] lowest." (4) "Crisis" is not too strong a word to describe the current state of representation in removal proceedings.
This Chapter traces recent developments affecting legal representation in removal hearings, proceeding in three sections. The first section identifies and examines two developments--the proliferation of immigrant detention and the exacerbation of legal complexity--that have undercut the quality of, and access to, legal representation. The second section turns to two recent Supreme Court decisions, Padilla v. Kentucky (5) and Turner v. Rogers. (6) These cases have given new life to the argument for a right to counsel in removal proceedings, most importantly by undermining one of the key conceptual barriers to that right--namely, that deportation is a civil sanction rather than a criminal punishment. Finally, the third section assesses how the law has evolved and should evolve in response to the above developments. Specifically, this section proposes a right to appointed counsel for three classes of non-citizens--lawful permanent residents, the mentally ill, and juveniles--and suggests other means of strengthening representation in removal proceedings.
B. Representation: Crucial, yet Stymied
Removal proceedings have long been treated as falling under the civil paradigm. (7) The Sixth Amendment attaches only to criminal proceedings; thus, noncitizens in removal proceedings possess no right to appointed counsel. (8) Still, removal hearings are subject to constitutional and statutory requirements that bear on a right to counsel. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (9) (INA), noncitizens are entitled to "the privilege of being represented" by counsel, but "at no expense to the Government." (10) Moreover, longstanding Supreme Court doctrine entitles noncitizens to Fifth Amendment due process protections in deportation proceedings (11) (though not in exclusion hearings (12)). Some federal appeals courts have interpreted the Fifth Amendment as also affording noncitizens who are able to obtain counsel a right to effective assistance of counsel, (13) but the Supreme Court has not yet addressed whether that right exists.
This section discusses two developments that have detracted from quality representation and rendered the presence of competent counsel ever more important: the expansion of immigrant detention and the increasing complexity of immigration law.
1. Immigrant Detention.--Immigrant detention is by no means a recent development; its tremendous growth, however, is. Courts and commentators alike have observed the adverse impact of detention on the right to counsel, and recent empirical work has helped substantiate this connection.
It is no overstatement to say that the use of immigrant detention has exploded over the last two decades. (14) In 1994, the government held approximately 6000 noncitizens in detention on any given day and detained about 81,000 over the course of the whole year; by 2008, those figures had swelled to around 33,000 and 380,000, respectively. …

Blizzard Update – 2/9/2013, 7:00 AM
As a result of the enormous amount of snow that has fallen throughout the Naugatuck, most Borough streets are impassible at the current time. A travel ban for all non-emergency responders has been in effect locally since 3:30 AM this morning (2/9/2013) and will remain until further notice. Governor Malloy has also prohibited all vehicular traffic statewide until further notice.
The significant snow accumulation has compromised the Borough's ability to plow roads. Smaller plow trucks are ineffective against this much snow, and even the large plows have experienced problems throughout the night and early morning. We ask your patience as we attempt to plow streets throughout the day this Saturday (2/9/2013).
While Naugatuck was spared significant power outages, there remain a small number of homes without power. Given the difficulty in travel statewide, it may be some time before Connecticut Light and Power is able to restore power. Please contact the Naugatuck Fire Department at 203-720-7083 if you are currently without power and in need of assistance.
If you are experiencing an emergency, please call 911.
Please make sure your furnace vent, if it exits out the side of your house, is clear of snow. Dangerous levels of carbon monoxide will build up inside if the pipe is blocked
Naugatuck's Emergency Operations Center ("EOC") will remain activated at the Naugatuck Fire Station until further notice. All resources are available to public safety and public works departments to respond to the aftermath of the blizzard.
Be safe.

This nightly skin care formula, with glycolic acid complex, helps to retexturize, smooth, and firm skin for renewed radiance.
It is a night cream. it will stay shiny. I have found this product to be decent for a Glycolic Acid cream. It does have a little tiny sting, when applied to clean skin. Sensitive skin be warned! I already have oily skin and no issues with wrinkles (I'm 45) but i have noticed over the years a slight texture change to my skin, and while using this as my overnight cream, it seems to be smoother. I started using the Glytone products through my dermatologist for bumps on my shoulders, and it was the FIRST product to actually help get rid of them and keep them at bay, so I tried this product as well. It's not a miracle cream but I do feel results. I still break out hormonally but the overall texture of my skin has improved modestly. If it keeps on improving I would consider it as a maintenance regimen. Put a towel on your pillow as I have found when I roll over it just smears onto my nice sheets. Hope this helps!
Apply at night to cleansed face and neck.

Sina, Apple, Dell: Tech Premarket
TheStreet) -- Sina (SINA - Get Report) was a big gainer in premarket trading on Wednesday, lifted by the company's better-than-expected fourth-quarter results.The Chinese Internet firm beat Wall Street's top- and bottom-line estimates and delivered solid guidance. Buoyed by the results, Sina shares rose 8.45% to $58 before market open. Apple (AAPL - Get Report) shares, however, dipped 0.76% to $456.50. On Wednesday , The Financial Times reported that Apple's manufacturing partner Foxconn has implemented a recruitment freeze at its Chinese factories as it slows production of the iPhone 5. Foxconn, however, says that the recruitment slowdown has nothing to do with the iPhone 5. "Due to an unprecedented rate of return of employees following the Chinese New Year holiday compared to years past, our company has decided to temporarily slow down our recruitment process," explained a spokeswoman, in an email to TheStreet. "This action is not related to any single customer and any speculation to the contrary is false and inaccurate." Apple has yet responded to TheStreet's request for comment on this story. Tech research firm Strategy Analytics, however, reported that Apple's iPhone 5 overtook Samsung's Galaxy S3 during the fourth quarter to become the world's best-selling smartphone. Shares of Dell (DELL), which beat Wall Street's estimates in its fourth-quarter results on Tuesday, slipped 0.04% to $13.81. The No. 3 PC maker didn't provide guidance for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, citing the recent announcement to take the company private. Vodafone (VOD) shares dipped 1.5% to $24.95 before market open, while chip design specialist ARM Holdings (ARMH) gained 0.09% to reach $43.81. Shares of Sony (SNE - Get Report), which is expected to launch its PlayStation 4 game console on Wednesday evening, gained 0.2% to reach $14.68. --Written by James Rogers in New York.

Life Technologies Launches Pervenio™ Lung RS, A Risk Stratification Test For Early Stage Lung Cancer
CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Life Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:LIFE) today announced the launch of Pervenio™ Lung RS. First-of-its-kind, the molecular test has been documented to reliably identify early stage lung cancer patients who are at high risk for mortality following surgery. It also fulfills an unmet need for prognostic information to guide preventative treatment and improve disease management. Lung cancer patients face a 25-65 percent mortality rate even after successful surgery, primarily because the disease often spreads early. Current methods for lung cancer staging are not effective for identifying those patients who likely harbor undetected metastasis. By comparison, patients with colon or breast cancer, for example, can expect surgical cure rates of greater than 90 percent."Many lung cancer patients who are initially diagnosed with early stage disease are dying from recurrences without having received any early post-operative intervention," said Michael Mann, M.D., associate professor of cardiothoracic surgery at the University of California, San Francisco, who co-developed the test with David Jablons, M.D., chief of general thoracic surgery at the University of California, San Francisco. "Published guidelines already urge doctors to identify early stage patients at high risk of death, so that early chemotherapy can be used to reduce that risk and save lives," said Dr. Mann. "Pervenio Lung RS has been documented to better identify the earliest stage, high-risk patients than the criteria currently suggested by these guidelines." Accurate and Reliable Risk Stratification of Early Stage Patients for Better-Informed Decisions Currently, early stage patients who are thought to be at low-risk are typically prescribed a course of monitoring following surgery, an approach frequently called "watchful waiting." Disease recurs, however, in a large percentage of these patients, usually at distant sites, indicating that the patient harbored metastases that were not detected at the time of surgery. Also, by the time disease recurs, treatment by chemotherapy or other therapies very rarely achieves long-term survival. "Better prognostic information will enable more informed decisions in the management of early stage lung cancer," said Dr. Mann. "Many Stage II patients decline potentially life-saving intervention, not knowing what their true risk of death might be. The Pervenio test is the first to document better discrimination of high risk patients in both Stage IA and IB compared to published high-risk criteria for Stage IB alone."

MasTec Inc. Stock Upgraded (MTZ)
TheStreet) -- MasTec (NYSE: MTZ) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and reasonable valuation levels. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.NEW YORK (

- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 14.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 25.9%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- MASTEC INC's earnings per share declined by 34.6% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, MASTEC INC increased its bottom line by earning $1.23 versus $1.07 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.42 versus $1.23).
- Despite currently having a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.56, it is higher than that of the industry average, inferring that management of debt levels may need to be evaluated further. Regardless of the somewhat mixed results with the debt-to-equity ratio, the company's quick ratio of 1.19 is sturdy.
- Despite any intermediate fluctuations, we have only bad news to report on this stock's performance over the last year: it has tumbled by 26.38%, worse than the S&P 500's performance. Consistent with the plunge in the stock price, the company's earnings per share are down 34.61% compared to the year-earlier quarter. Looking ahead, the stock's sharp decline over the past year may have been what was needed in order to bring its value into alignment with its fundamentals and others in its industry.

"It's just senseless what they did to him".
It's been more than 24 hours since George Quezergue's death and friends still can't believe he's gone.
"He never gave anybody trouble so whoever did this to him couldn't have been from around here because George was not a person to get in to trouble."
His friends on scene Monday didn't want to be identified. Valdosta Police say just before 9:30 Saturday night Quezergue was shot multiple times in an alley on East Park Avenue between two stores in the Forrest Park center.
Police say they have a person of interest and a motive.
"Am I hopeful? Absolutely. Am I guaranteeing we'll solve this case? I can never do that. But I am hopeful we'll be able to solve this case and relatively soon," said Commander Brian Childress.
Childress says because of the lack of witnesses there at the time its made the case hard to work but says now residents are speaking up.
"I think it sends a message to our community that they're not going to tolerate this," said Childress.
And Childress says neither will the police department.
Anyone with information on this case can call the Valdosta Police Departments tip line at (229) 293-3091.

Football Hangover: V/S Giants, Aftermath
There should be a Thursday night mercy rule. The NFL could easily impose some form of situation where the integity of the game is compromised to the benefit of the losing team when the score gets over 20 points. Sundays, you have the day to compose yourself. Thursday, you're going to have to go to bed with that game on your mind. It ruins your Friday, as I can attest. You get the added bonus of waiting 10 days for the other shoe to drop, so you can either get the dread of seeing them fail again, or redeem themselves to make you wonder why they couldn't have pulled it together before.
Coming in, there was hope: leaving this, there's not much. And I don't honestly want to process what it all means right now.
There are plenty that do – that want to figure it all out right now, based on this one game. For me, coaching moves are taken care of in December, at earliest. I don't know what this game means for Ron Rivera. But, I know that I can't get past last night, and I'm not going to sit there and worry about who might be a hot head coaching prospect in 2014 or whether or not to cut Jon Beason in 2015.
Carolina hasn't looked good in prime time since a meaningless 2009 game against Minnesota. I don't know why – just as I don't know why this team is so moody. I don't have good answers right now, and anyone certain of those answers have questions I honestly don't trust. I know I expected more, and I'm disappointed in what was left behind after those expectations waned.

FCC Votes To Ban Exclusive Apartment-Cable Deals
road-runner - November 1, 2007 08:20AM in
General News
The Federal Communications Commission voted on Wednesday to ban exclusive contracts between apartment and condominium owners and the cable television providers. The move will give apartment and condominium dwellers a greater choice of pay television services, instead of being locked in to one provider. "There is no reason that consumers living in apartment buildings should be locked into one service provider," FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said in a statement.

A letter from Eric and Becky Hinderliter in Lithuania
July 28, 2009
Last month a short-term mission trip under the auspices of the Presbytery of Carlisle arrived in Lithuania for 12 days of work and study. We were glad to facilitate arrangements in Lithuania for them. The group included some old friends and Eric's cousin. Five Presbyterian churches were represented: Faith, Pine Street, Paxton and Christ from the Carlisle Presbytery and St. Mark from National Capital Presbytery. The group was ecumenical as well: one was a member of a free church and one was Roman Catholic.
The trip had two parts: service at LCC International University, an ecumenical partner of the PC(USA), and a visit to the Reformed Church in Birzai, another partner in Lithuania. At LCC, the group taught 34 Ukrainian high school students who visit LCC each year for a school excursion and English language practice. The lessons centered on tolerance and diversity. Other members of the team painted the Soviet-era dormitory used by LCC. A day spent with the homeless shelter operated by the Missionaries of Charity (Mother Teresa's order) proved to be a lesson in faith. The Reverend Jane Holslag, our PC(USA) colleague in mission here, led devotions each morning about the meaning of a life committed to mission in Christ's name.
In Birzai the group renewed relationship with the Reformed Church that a group from Pine Street Presbyterian in Harrisburg made during a 2006 visit. One team member said, "I must say that in Birzai I could not believe how fondly Rev. Rimas Mikalauskas and his compatriots feel about us. That certainly is a continuing relationship from our work there in 2006. He really rolled out the red carpet for us, had all sorts of events planned for us, provided interpreters, took us to the orphanage we worked on in 2006, showed slides of our work and people in 2006, etc. etc. It was heartwarming to experience that! I would love to go back there and work again for him!" The presbytery did a blog for the trip that can be seen at the Carlisle Presbytery's Web site.
The group is now reflecting on what they experienced: "I have been talking each day to my husband about the many experiences we had in Lithuania," one woman wrote us. "It seems even to me nearly impossible that we had so many possibilities. What a history lesson! And though I wish we'd spent more time with the students, it was a wonderful experience. I'm particularly glad to have seen for myself where you live and work."
The trip organizer said, "the trip to Lithuania was a far greater success than I would have envisioned." Another reported that, "everyone thought it was a worthwhile trip, we all continued our faith journey, and God enhanced the entire process." There is already talk of another trip in 2011.
In recent years a flurry of articles and guidebooks have appeared evaluating the phenomenon of short-term mission trips (STM). One study found: "Like pilgrimages, these trips are rituals of intensification" where travelers leave the familiar behind in favor of new "voluntary, sacred experiences" in new surroundings "where sacred goals are pursued, physical and spiritual tests faced, normal structures are dissolved, communitas is experienced, and personal transformation occurs. This transformation ideally produces new selves to be reintegrated back into everyday life 'at home,' new selves which in turn help to spiritually rejuvenate they come from, and inspire new mission at home" (quoted by Hunter Farrell, see below). Unlike pilgrimages, however, STM aims not only at self-transformation but to serve and to help in distant places. These are ambitious goals indeed!
It is too soon to measure any long-term effects from the visit, but we can say that we were refreshed and encouraged that so many of our fellow Christians were interested in our ministry here. And we have already seen evidence of some of the hoped-for effects of mission trips. Some participants have returned with a renewed commitment to mission advocacy — both within their churches and at the presbytery level. The most gratifying evaluation touched on the possibilities that STM opens up: "It remains to be seen how new initiatives grow from this trip, but the commitment is visible." We hope for strengthening of meaningful, faithful, mutual relations in mission between Christians of the Reformed tradition in the United States and in Lithuania.
We all want to engage in good missional praxis. The goal is mutuality in mission. The director of PC(USA)'s World Mission, Hunter Farrell, offers a compelling perspective in his article, "Short-term Missions: Paratrooper Incursion or 'Zaccheus Encounter'" has many good ideas about how to capture the possibilities of short-term mission. The hope is for a glimpse of Zaccheus-like encounters, encounters with Jesus in the brokenness of this world. Farrell suggests intergenerational teams (equal numbers of youth and adult), an emphasis on mutual mission, intense preparation, coaching and follow-up and a culture of context sensitivity. The focus needs to center on intentional relationship-building activities. Mutuality requires good preparation. Pre-departure orientation is critical as a focus on relationships rather than work "cuts across the grain of the primary U.S. cultural value which is used to justify the time and expense invested in STM work."
We hope our relationships are characterized by "persevering, long-term, mutual commitments to Christ's mission based on human relationships." We all are called to take up our crosses daily (Luke 9:23). We should all endeavor, short-term and long-term missionaries, to be transformed into more faithful disciples.

Lack of rain raises Placer County wildland fire concerns
Timing is everything.
And for a rural neighborhood along Highway 193 in Newcastle, a fire sparked Thursday by a power line brushing tree branches overhead was early enough in the spring to prevent potential catastrophe this time.
As a group of neighbors watched from the other side of the Lincoln-to-Newcastle highway, a two-man crew from the Newcastle Fire Protection District was able to quickly put out the smoldering fire in brush on the ground. The burn footprint was contained to no more than a few feet in circumference at a time of year when leaves are still green and brush still relatively moist.
Cal Fire is already warning that a lack of rainfall has translated into an early increase in fire activity. Since the start of the year, the state fire agency has responded to more than 680 wildfires, which is more than 200 over the average for this time of year.
Grayson Elliott, a resident of one of the Highway 193 homes near the fire, said he turned in Thursday's fire alarm to 9-1-1 operators after hearing a crash and seeing branches on fire.
"I wasn't too worried because there is still a lot of green vegetation," Elliott said. "It's not as bad as it is in the summer."
Elliott said that the property he's on has about 5 acres of brambles and his plans this summer are to work to clear out much of the overgrowth. He added that he appreciated the quick response from firefighters.
"I want to give these guys some water bottles or bake them some cookies," Elliott said.
Ian Gow, Placer Hills Fire Protection District chief, said Thursday that he and other fire officials in the county are concerned.
"The state looks at various weather and fuel models and it's clear that this year, similar to last year, the fuels are going to be very dry and the weather is going to be hot and dry," Gow said. "We're anticipating an early fire season similar to last year."
Placer County fire chiefs have just gone to summer staffing patterns, which means that for any wildland fire, the jurisdiction it's in will get extra engines coming to help, Gow said.
A month ago, the Department of Water Resources conducted this year's next-to-last snow survey and the low measurement levels are part of the reason Cal Fire is expressing concern. The survey found that snowpack is 52 percent of average statewide.
A statement from Cal Fire said this year is likely to go down as one of the driest on record, based on low rainfall levels across the state from January to April.
Already, Cal Fire has dealt in recent months with a 296-acre fire in Lake County, a 406-acre blaze in Inyo County and a Riverside County fire that spread to 311 acres.
Cal Fire Director Ken Pimlott said the department increased staffing and moved airtankers to their bases in Southern California last week. At the same time, Cal Fire is in the process of training seasonal firefighters and monitoring weather conditions closely to determine staffing levels, he said.
"While we are busy transitioning into fire season, this is the time we want residents to begin preparing their homes for fire season by creating 100 feet of defensible space," Pimlott said.
The city of Auburn is about to start a new round of clearing on the rim of the American River canyon to reduce the fire hazard. Auburn Fire Chief Mark D'Ambrogi agreed that homeowners provide an extra level of protection by providing defensible space on their property. That means cutting down weeds and eliminating brush now so it doesn't build up during fire season, he said.
Whether it's a dry winter - or a rainy one that gives forest fuels a chance to grow more than usual - D'Ambrogi said the wildland does dry out eventually.
"Either way, it's not a good situation," D'Ambrogi said. "Add strong wind patterns and it spells disaster."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Do investors buy the wrong funds? Plenty of academic researchers think so. The researchers say that many investors pick poor-performing actively managed funds. Instead of trying to beat the benchmarks with actively managed funds, most investors would do better by sticking with index funds, the academics argue.But a new study by Morningstar suggests that investors aren't so dumb after all. According to the latest data, typical investors have achieved competitive results. "Investors have done a good job of picking active funds," says John Rekenthaler, Morningstar's vice president of research.

"The Great Wave of Kanagawa" by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) is part of a 36 piece series originally done as a Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock printing. Mount Fuji is a centerpiece of great aesthetic and spiritual significance in many of Hokusai's works. Here, Hokusai places Mount Fuji in the background rather than at the front of his work, suggesting that its diminished size does not equate to diminished power.
© Art.com
Katsushika Hokusai (1760 – 1849) dominated Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock printing, meaning "pictures of the floating world," or everyday life. Hokusai, who changed his name each time he changed artistic styles, is best known for his woodblock print series "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji," which includes the iconic "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa." He was extraordinarily prolific between 1796 and 1820, producing an estimated 30,000 book illustrations and color prints inspired by Japanese traditions, legends and daily life. Hokusai created his most important works after age 60, in which Mount Fuji was often a spiritually significant element. His art enormously impacted Impressionists, including Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec.

First off, let me apologize if this has already been discussed or if this is not the correct forum to post this question.
I did a few searches and didnt see anything like it so maybe the community can help me out.
With all the different bikes and components out there, how do you know what is good and what is crap?
Is there some sort of component rating system that tells you A is better than B but not as good as C?
Is there a list that ranks components from 1 to 10? Components like cassettes, levers, derailleurs, etc.
Any help is appreciated in understanding this better.

T ♥ M Tied the knot for Time & Eternity in 2007
Mommy to S (5), I (2) & Baby L (0)
I watch two other children and I get the opportunity of watching them when the work week begins on Monday. I am dreading it. I can handle my two, but everybody behaves differently when they arrive and it is hard on me. It is especially hard after the kids I watch have been hanging out with people (family) who wait on them hand and foot. When I get them, they go through withdrawls. "Sorry. I know you can dress yourself, wipe your own bum and put on your own socks and shoes. You can't fool me." My kids pick up on their behavior and demands and try to test me with that stuff to and I want to run and hide.
I get extra whininess after the holidays or any break. Others during the break gave them a pass on the "please" and "thank you"s and the like. Coming to my place is a serious reality check for them and I know it is for the best but it drains me. By the end of the day when my DH comes home I just want to be left alone.
My kids, are awesome and I have become immune to them if they are well fed and rested. BUT....if they (or I) have a bad day...god help us all. I want to hide in the crawl space and supervise via intercom and periscope.
I totally get wanting to get away. I COMPLETELY understand and I am excited to add a third to the mix.
I love fish. It is a good thing since I am from the PNW.

My two road bikes are both vintage rides.
The first is a Dutch Gazelle built on a frame that I bought in Holland in 1976. I hung all the parts on it myself.
The second is a 1986 Team Fuji that I bought a little more than a year ago and rehabilitated.
These are some of the bikes that made my blood boil back in the day. These days they just make me smile.

U.S. equities and other riskier assets are in rally mode in the
first trading session of 2013 after lawmakers finally got around to
agreeing on legislation that steered the U.S. away from the dreaded
fiscal cliff. News that a deal was in the works ignited a rally on
Monday while news that the cliff will be dodged has done the same
today as the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up about 230 points at
this writing while the Nasdaq Composite is sitting on a gain of 2.3
The tenor of Wednesday's U.S. trading session is clearly risk
on, so much so that before 10:30 AM Eastern time, the overall value
of equities and
traded was $73 billion, according to data provided by ETF execution
firm WallachBeth. New York-based WallachBeth noted that only
trading day in all of 2012 - December options expiration - saw
equity value traded exceed $70 billion in the first hour of
In a note to clients, WallachBeth Director of ETF Execution
Services Chris Hempstead highlighted intense buying activity "on
the ask" in several marquee broad market ETFs. Buying on the ask
could be described as "panic buying" to some extent as traders that
are willing to buy on the ask price being shown are indicating they
are willing to pay up to acquire shares of a particular stock or
ETF. The more times the ask price is hit, the more intense a rally
Hempstead said WallachBeth has seen intense "ask buying" in the
PowerShares QQQ (NASDAQ:
), commonly referred to as the Nasdaq 100 tracking ETF, today.
Other popular broad market ETFs where WallachBeth has seen unusual
buying activity include the $38.8 billion iShares MSCI EAFE Index
Fund (NYSE:
) and the $3.2 billion iShares MSCI ACWI Index Fund (NASDAQ:
Despite Wednesday's grab for riskier assets, the U.S. government
still has issues to tackle, including the debt ceiling in a few
short weeks.
"With the deal made in Washington leaving most economists
scratching their heads we would cautiously assume that this unusual
volume and skew is not necessarily here for the long run," said
Hempstead in the note. "A drop in volume and liquidity as we
approach the next big near term media buzzword 'debt ceiling' would
not come as a surprise."
Even with the debt ceiling issue inching its way into the
headlines before the fiscal cliff was solved, traders are still
content to embrace high-beta sectors today. WallachBeth, which
provides ETF execution services to clients such as Registered
Investment Advisors and trading desks, said "ask buying" has been
intense in sector funds such as the Financial Services Select
Sector SPDR (NYSE:
) and the Materials Select Sector SPDR (NYSE:
Buyers have also stepped into the Vanguard MSCI Emerging Markets
), the largest emerging markets ETF by assets, in a meaningful way,
according to WallachBeth. Up almost two percent on the day, the
Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSE:
) has seen a noticeable uptick in volume while the SPDR S&P
Homebuilders ETF (NYSE:
), one of 2012's top sector funds, has seen buyers take the ask to
the tune of a 2.6 percent gain, according to WallachBeth data.
Even with all that ebullience, a cautious approach may be best
over the near-term in Hempstead's eyes.
"...2013 headlines and market sensitivity should get right back
on the spinning 'wheel of media buzzwords' bandwagon with the top
flash cards being: Debt Ceiling and US credit rating - European
Sovereign Debt - civil unrest in the Middle East--The Iran and
Israel relationship - North Korea - Japan's woes - extreme drought
- extreme flooding - and of course China growth."

Treating Obsessive-Compulsive Behaviors
Whether it's checking the oven repeatedly, washing your hands all the time, hoarding plastic bags, arranging things in a particular order, or pinching pennies, obsessive thoughts and a compulsion to do something can be disruptive to your life.
"This is something I can't 'fix' today, but I can give you some education and be a compass for you," says Dr. Phil. "There are less disruptive ways to cope with your anxiety."
Acknowledging the research of Dr. Michael Jenike and Ronald Kessler, Ph.D., of Harvard Medical School, Dr. Phil offers the following advice and information.
- Is this factually accurate?
- Is it in my best interest?
- Does it protect and prolong my life?
- Does it get me what I want instead of what I don't want?

MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala.
-- Army Lt. Col. Karl Kraus, deputy of the Defense Financial Management and Comptroller School, Ira C. Eaker Center for Professional Development, and his wife, Tiffany Kraus, share the volunteer spirit, a value they've learned through their experience in the service. "We've had some great role models who have stepped up and made things happen in our communities in the past," said Colonel Kraus. "Now we just feel it is our turn to try to be involved."
This Army family has been a welcome part of the Maxwell community. "We feel honored to have had this opportunity to be a part of this community," said Colonel Kraus. "We have been treated wonderfully and have really come to appreciate the Air Force and the greater Montgomery population."
The family's volunteer service has made quite an impression.
"This family has dedicated themselves 150 percent to the mission here at Maxwell," said Col. Barb Gilchrist, director of the Defense Financial Management and Comptroller School.
Colonel Kraus, of Fayette, Iowa, has volunteered as a coach and an assistant coach for the Maxwell Youth Activities Sports programs, served as a den leader for the Cub Scouts, and was elected vice-president for the Montgomery chapter of the American Society of Military Comptrollers. He enjoys "being involved with activities our children are a part of," he said.
Ms. Kraus, who originally hails from Huntington, W.V., has found several ways to assist Maxwell Elementary School, from fund-raising activities to conducting literacy circles and teaching sunshine math, which is designed to challenge self-directed learners. She also participated as the membership and hospitality chair of the Maxwell-Gunter Officers' Spouses' Club for the last two years and volunteers at First Baptist Church.
She became the Key Spouse representative for the Eaker Center after her husband e-mailed her with the request for candidates. "I got the e-mail, but I thought surely they don't want an Army wife," she said. Still, she gladly volunteered for the duty, was selected, and hasn't regretted it one bit.
"It's been a wonderful honor," she said. "The Key Spouse trainer, Andrew (Tveit, the family readiness consultant with the Airman and Family Readiness Center) was so informative and so organized."
During one of her Key Spouse training sessions, Ms. Kraus also met Suzie Schwartz, the wife of Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz, who she described as "a wonderful mentor and leader" who encouraged the Key Spouses.
Her job as Key Spouse is to help support the families of Eaker Center in coordination with the first sergeant and leadership, with special emphasis on the families of deployed members. "A lot of people don't know all the opportunities available" for assistance while a family member is deployed, including assistance with car care.
Ms. Kraus feels she has benefited from becoming a mentor. "Its been a wonderful leadership opportunity for me to meet all these families of deployed members," she said.
She also enjoyed the opportunity to meet other spouses, who can empathize with the plight of deployed spouses. "I like the idea of wives doing this because we've all been there," she noted. "It's been a true honor to be selected to do this and a true education."
Colonel Kraus has served 21 years on Army active duty, serving in the National Guard for six years before that. "My dad inspired me to consider military service," he said. "He was in the Guard and introduced me to his unit's recruiter when I was in high school, and I've been fortunate enough to be able to serve ever since."
Honors he has earned include meritorious recognition from the ASMC for exceptional performance in the Education, Training and Career Development category in 2009, as well as second place in the ASMC essay competition.
Their children, Kohl, 10, and Abby, 7, attend Maxwell Elementary School.
As part of the Year of the Air Force Family, Maxwell's Airman and Family Readiness Center is putting families in the spotlight based on their accomplishments, sacrifices and volunteer efforts.

How good is the 401(k) retirement plan offered to you by your employer? It can be hard to evaluate, though if your employer matches your contribution, it is almost always smart to save enough in your 401(k) to get the full match. Otherwise, you're just leaving money on the table.
But if your employer doesn't kick in anything or you are saving more than your employer is willing to match, it is a good idea to consider whether putting your retirement savings someplace else makes more sense.
Evaluating the quality of the 401(k) available to you is tricky. One free available tool to help is offered by Brightscope.com, which rates thousands of public company retirement plans on the total plan cost, company generosity and the quality of the investment options. Each company gets a number score from zero to 100, and they are also ranked against competing companies in the same space. While the information doesn't point you toward which investment options are better than others, it does give you a sense of whether you could do better investing outside the plan. And if you are changing jobs, considering the quality of the 401(k) could be an important part of the decision.
What can you do if your 401(k) flunks the test? Brightscope.com recommends that you talk to your plan administrator within the company, and if you have an employee committee that has any clout at all, enlist their help. Some actions that can improve a plan don't cost much and generally benefit everybody. So speaking up could be a real boon to your retirement planning.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Heavy rains flooded homes, roads and
businesses in parts of northeastern Oklahoma today forcing authorities to rescue stranded residents and motorists.
No injuries are reported.
Nearly 7 inches of rain has fallen in Cherokee, Delaware, Rogers and Mayes counties since early this morning and much of downtown Pryor was closed because of flooded streets.
Mayes County Sheriff Frank Cantey says the flooding extended to some homes and businesses.
Cantey says some homes in low-lying areas have 3 feet of water in them.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol Capt. Jack McCoy said there were too many roads closed to list them all and the OHP was asking people not to travel in the area.

I wanted to let you know there are breast pads called tender care hydrogel pads by Medela. They are used while nursing to sooth the nipple after feeding (many first timers use this), but in your case they may help with the pain now.posted 12/06/2012 by brittanylilly
I have no solution for easing the pain, but I can say that the pain is most likely caused from high levels of progesterone which increases during pregnancy. It is completely normal. I would call your OB/Midwife and ask if there is something they can give for pain, if so it's probably a cream. If it is is the progesterone, that should decrease after birth hopefully making it easier for you to breastfeed. First timers with breastfeeding most often give up because of the slight pain from breastfeeding, but that does go away if there is any at all. It is natural and the body will get used to it quickly. Good luck to you! Hope I helped.posted 12/05/2012 by brittanylilly
