A review of this newspaper's top headlines during 2011 find that most focused on four subjects: new Kershaw County Sheriff Jim Matthews; politics, in terms of new elected and appointed officials; crime; and the city of Camden's sports complex/YMCA controversy. For all intents and purposes, there was no getting away from these stories.
Dot Goodwin said she was in Camden's city hall when Camden City Council was discussing the then-pending hospitality tax several years ago when she noticed something.
Camden City Council focused on financial reports and electric utility projects during its Dec. 13 work session. The meeting was a split one, starting at 5 p.m. ahead of a long 6:30 p.m. regular meeting and picking up again around 8 p.m. that evening. Rickie Tiller of Cantey, Tiller, Pierce & Green LLP, presented a brief report on the city's Fiscal Year 2011 audit. Assistant City Manager Mel Pearson followed Tiller's report with a fiscal year-end report of his own. Those reports were given in the first half of the work session. Bronson followed the ...
In February 1974, New York Magazine published a long, in-depth article about the fight between the then-current backers of the existing New York Coliseum and the supporters of a proposed convention center. Among the supporters: Mayor John Lindsay. About half-way through the story, readers are introduced to someone helping the opponents of the proposed project: Herbert J. Farber. Opponents hired his public relations firm to "immediately begin orchestrating the resistance," according to writer Nicholas Pileggi.
A 39-year-old Camden man faces multiple charges following an incident at a U.S. 601 South, Lugoff bar involving a number of Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) deputies and employees
(The online version of this story has been modified to correct an error in the fourth paragraph. Originally, the C-I erroneously attributed the term "perfect storm" to a statement by Blue Cross Blue Shield CEO David Pankau instead of to BCBS board chairman Ed Sellers, as indicated here, who was a speaker at the KershawHealth Foundation's recent Baruch Dinner in November. The C-I regrets the error.)
Like him or not, there is no doubt Sheriff Jim Matthews has made an impact here in Kershaw County.
In what appears to have been an attempt to go joyriding in an old Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) truck, deputies arrested a 48-year-old Cassatt man and two men in their 20s Tuesday night. Deputies responded to a witness' call that the three men were trying to steal the vehicle from inside the Kershaw County landfill compound on Park Road.
Camden Mayor Jeffrey Graham, 29, his voice strained, told a packed-to-capacity crowd at Camden City Hall Tuesday night that he deliberately chose to return to Camden after college because he "believes in the people that raised me in this community to be who I am today."
A ski mask, dark clothing, BB gun and a fire extinguisher. Those are the items Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) investigators hope will help them find a man they believe broke into an Oak Ridge Drive home in Lugoff's Pepper Ridge subdivision Friday night.
Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) deputies are searching for a man who tried to rob the Cherokee Quick Stop on Cherokee Boulevard near the Richland County line.
• No matter how you feel about Tiger Woods -- it's a bit hard for us to pull for him given all the revelations about him -- one thing is clear: golf is more exciting with him. His win last Sunday at the Chevron Challenge, in which he birdied the final two holes to claim victory by a shot, was his first in two years. It'll be interesting to see how he does next year, and whether he can resume his chase of Jack Nicklaus' record number of victories in major championships, but as long as he's competitive there will ...
If the data from the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is right, there's at least one planet with the potential of harboring life. Perhaps, based on the data, there are thousands upon thousands of such worlds.
More than five people are already signed up to speak in public forum during Camden City Council's meeting Tuesday. At least some of the speakers are long associated with an effort to get a referendum on a city ballot so citizens can vote on whether to fund the construction of a possibly YMCA of Columbia-run sports complex.
Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) deputies arrested a 54-year-old man and are seeking the whereabouts of a 39-year-old man for scamming an 81-year-old Lugoff man out of $1,500 for "paving" his driveway.
KershawHealth still suffered an approximately $80,000 operating loss for the month of January, but -- thanks to an increase in emergency department visits and other factors -- improved its fiscal year-to-date bottom line by $1.5 million from January 2014. KershawHealth had lost $2.41 million dollars for the first four months of the 2014 fiscal year. For the first four months of Fiscal Year 2015, KershawHealth has only lost about $918,000.
For those of you who believe in an open internet in the United States, the fight is still on. For the moment, though, we can bask in the glory of the U.S. Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) 3-2 vote last week to impose so-called "net neutrality" rules on internet service providers (ISPs).
It will only cost the Kershaw County School District (KCSD) about $5,000 to repair the most critical and hazardous issues at Camden High School's Zemp Stadium. The district plans to begin making those repairs -- and similar ones at Lugoff-Elgin and North Central high schools' stadiums -- during warming weather later this year.
Andrea Wind, daughter of Lugoff Ford, Lugoff Toyota and Carolina Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge-Ram owner Mark Mason, recently founded Lighthouse for Life, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to combating sex trafficking through "education, restoration and empowerment," according to the organization's website.
Saturday night, a number of basketball players spent a few hours on the Camden High School's (CHS) basketball court playing five-on-five games to raise money for the Kershaw County Community Medical Clinic (CMC). The highlight of the evening: a game between members of the CHS' 2009 state championship basketball team and a team made up of other CHS basketball alumni. The alumni came out on top, narrowly defeating the 2009 team 38 to 36 after two 20-minute periods.

I asked myself this question after a dear friend died of pancreatic cancer only eight days after his initial diagnosis. The experience left me feeling empty and searching for purpose. I wrote DROP OUT as a way of dealing with the senselessness of it all. Writing the book allowed me to explore why we are here on this Earth and in this physical world. Since the story revolves around one man's loss after 9/11 I believe the book is even more relevant as the anniversary of that terrible day approaches.

We stayed one week in December for a family reunion, 8 kids and 6 adults, 3 generations from Denmark. This review is so hard to write, as it is so difficult to put words on our feelings about this place!! This is the closest you will get to paradise. This place is so extraordinary and the location is a 20 on a scale of 10.
We had Monica to prepare and cook breakfast and dinner for all of us everyday. She is just such a joy and her food was so nice tasting. We rented a driver and his bus (Edmund) through the owner (could easily accommodate our family of 14) to drive us around the island, when we wanted to, and Bob the facilitator, was just so helpful whenever we needed him to help.
This is THE vacation, you will never want to end!!!!
It is so hard to describe this place without becoming sounding exaggerated, but as we all agreed upon arrival: Once bitten by the Sand Dollar bug, vacations are never gonna be the same anymore.... unfortunately!!!
We rented Sand Dollar Estate recently. A total of 7 couples spent the week there. Everyone had such a great time. Other than a couple rainy days... there is nothing I can really complain about. The owner Suzanne was very helpful with suggestions and contact info for excursions. Bob, the house manager, was helpful with anything while we were there. He arranged transportation back and forth to the airport. He also went to the store and stocked the entire kitchen with food and beverage before we arrived. And made multiple visits to the store for us while we were there. Monica cooked for all of us while we were there. Great food for a very reasonable cost. It's not easy to cook for 14 people... and she did a great job!!! We did so much ...... we played in the ocean, laid on the beach, laid by the pool, got massages in the spa, had great conversations on the deck overlooking Megan's Bay, played in the pool, we did a little kayaking, played a round of golf at Mahogany Run, we chartered New Horizons II for the day, went shopping downtown... etc, etc, etc.
What an amazing week. We were all sad to come home. I would like to thank everybody at Sand Dollar Estate.
We celebrated my husband and my 50th birthdays at Sand Dollar. What a fantastic place. The property is beyond amazing. The beach is superb!! Each of the bedrooms feels like its own private suite and the rest of the house is so comfortable for everyone to enjoy time together. Bob is great, always willing to help with any planning you need. Make sure you have Monica cook. She made the whole experience complete. Andrine and her staff kept the house so clean. We HIGHLY recommend Sand Dollar. It is the best place to stay in St. Thomas. We will be returning for a future stay. Thank you Suzanne and Steve for an unforgettable trip.
My new wife and I wanted to be married on the sand on a beach with beautiful clear water. We looked at hundreds of options, locations and scenarios. We concluded St. Thomas would work best for us because we were going to have many friends and family join us. St. Thomas had a major airport and minimal requirements for entry and exit. The island is small enough that everyone could get around very easily. We looked at many options such as public beaches all the way up the Ritz Carlton Resort. Ultimately we found Sand Dollar Estate while looking at rental houses. This is the ultimate wedding venue. We shared the cost of the house with 16 of our wonderful friends. Even after all of the traditional wedding expenses we were able to have the wedding of the century (according to our guests) for much less hassle and expense than ALL other alternatives.
The house is well maintained, clean and very well equipped. Bob and Monica are very gracious hosts and ambassadors to the island. If you simply follow one rule on all of these islands you will receive warm and gracious treatment. Say good morning, good afternoon and good evening to everyone before you say anything else. Otherwise they will consider YOU rude. We bonded with Bob and Monica and shared heartfelt hugs upon our departure. There is not one thing that this staff would not do to make our week perfect. They have done enough weddings at this house to be very well versed in what is needed to coordinate with wedding planners, caterers, bands and the like. We would not have changed one single thing about our experience. We would also like to mention that all of our dealings prior to arrival with the home owners was fantastic. They are wonderful people with impeccable taste and the home and our experience was truly a reflection of their behind the scene efforts. We will rent this house again with our friends in the future. Normally we would say one stop in a place like this is enough so we can explore other homes or places. The location, home, staff and owners make this a repeat visit destination for us.
We recently held our office annual leadership conference at Sand Dollar Estate in St. Thomas, USVI. It turned out to be the perfect venue for our staff, with its 9 bedroom suites and multiple areas for breakout sessions and private conversations. The exterior area was well suited to after dinner lounging and socializing. The place was great for our staff to interact and bond in an incredibly beautiful and relaxed setting.
We hired Monica and her niece to prepare our meals. The food was always prepared on time and always delicious. Bob, the property manager, was friendly and helpful with any and all of our needs without being underfoot. Our deep gratitude to Suzanne, the owner. She helped us organize all of the activities prior to our arrival. With her help, we were able to enjoy a well deserved working vacation.
There was more than enough space for all of the staff members to stay comfortably, and not feel like they were on top of each other. The furnishings were clean and stylish, and being only 50ft from the private beach was a great bonus. It was probably the most beautiful beach any of us have ever set foot upon.
I would definitely return to Sand Dollar with my extended family.
Our trip was indeed luxurious! We decided to renew our vows at Sand Dollar. We had read all the reviews and spoken with some of the previous guests, so we knew that we wouldn't be disappointed. However, what we did not anticipate was that we would feel so at home, truly a home away from home.
We decided to treat our family and friends to a more private Caribbean vacation. It was quiet and relaxing with all of the amenities of any 5 star resort, not to mention our own private beach. The entire staff took such a good care of us, very professional and they took such pride in their work. Thanks to Monica who could cook up anything we asked, no matter what the request. Bob seemed to always be around when we needed help, but he did not get in the way of our relaxation. I am very picky when it comes to cleanliness, both the main house and cottage were spotless when we arrived. Andrine did a spectacular job keeping the home spotless and fresh during our stay.
We hired Laura of Passion Fruit Chefs to cater the party. The food was excellent and the service was impeccable. We had the ceremony on the private beach. We could not asked for a better place to renew our vows.
We planned out our excursions during the day, but we always looked forwarded to coming back home to the villa. Thanks also to Suzanne, the owner, who was always just a phone call or email away. We cannot wait for our next trip to the paradise called Sand Dollar!

Fashion retailer Just Group is joining global brands including Levi Strauss, Gucci, Benetton and Esprit in putting a stop to selling sandblasted jeans.
Its decision, revealed today (23 September), follows a campaign by aid agency Oxfam to ban the dangerous denim finishing technique which is known to cause silicosis - a pulmonary disease resulting from the inhalation of silica dust - putting workers' health at risk.
Just Group now says that once all remaining stock of sandblasted jeans has gone, it will not place any further orders for these products. The Just Group brands include Just Jeans, Jay Jays, Dotti, Portmans and Jacqui E.
Describing the move as "an important first step," Oxfam Australia's director of policy, James Ensor, says: "We will continue to encourage Just Group to implement the other five steps of the ban, in particular ensuring that workers who were exposed to sandblasting receive medical checks.
"We also encourage Just Group to improve transparency in its operations by publishing a list of its supplier factories. Without this transparency it is not possible to externally verify the conditions for workers making Just Group products."
A six-step ban on sandblasting is recommended by campaigners at the Fair Trade Centre and the Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC). This requires a published policy stating that sandblasting will not be used in the supply chain, and enforcement of this ban by monitoring processes in co-operation with trade unions and NGOs.
Firms also need to ensure that all workers at facilities sandblasting products are contacted and receive medical checks, and that anyone affected by silicosis receives medical care and financial compensation.
Workers who stand to lose their jobs because of the ban must be prioritised for re-hiring and re-training. And adequate risk assessments must be carried out when new production methods are introduced.

If all else fails though I'd be willing to help with the organisation of the contest, though I could not aid with the prizes as I'm a somewhat poor bugger who has to keep some money aside for the 3 b-days to buy gifts for this month.
I'd rather like to enter the contest, but considering my shaky drawing skills I guess I wouldn't stand a chance in any case.

Route 16 rollover more serious than thought
Friday, February 14, 2014
MILTON — State police said an accident on Route 16 this morning that injured a driver was much more serious than initially thought.
A press release from State Police Troop A, which was assisted on the scene by the Milton Police Department and Milton Fire and Rescue, stated the crash remains under investigation but speed and alcohol did not appear to be factors in the crash. |

Does anyone find it telling that the respondent is from the Perhaps the beach towns do, in fact, have a legitimate gripe about being underrepresented in the focus of efforts to attract tourists. Let's face it: without the beaches, Wilmington and all of its charming attributes would be relegated to the status of just another inland town on a river. The beach town's appear to be getting short shrift relative to the convention center. »

Home Country Bias: Does Domestic Experience Help Investors Enter Foreign Markets?Margarida AbreuISEG-UTL; Technical University of Lisbon (UTL) - Research Unit on Complexity and Economics (UECE); Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão - CISEP Victor MendesCMVM - Comissao do Mercado de Valores Mobiliarios João A. C. SantosFederal Reserve Bank of New York February 2, 2009 Abstract: This paper investigates whether investors' domestic experience helps them enter foreign markets. We show that investors first invest in domestic securities and only some time later they invest in foreign securities. Our investigation of the length of time it takes investors to start investing in foreign securities shows that investors who trade more often in the domestic market start to invest abroad earlier. It appears that the experience these investors acquire while they trade in the domestic market is a key reason why they enter the foreign market earlier. A reason is that highly educated investors as well as investors with more financial knowledge, arguably those for whom learning by trading is the least important, do not need to trade as much in the domestic market before they start investing in foreign securities. Another reason is that investors who start investing in foreign securities are able to improve on their performance afterwards. This improvement in performance, besides adding support to the learning explanation, constitutes also evidence that the home country bias is costly.

The Enemy at the Gates: International Borders, Migration and Human Rights
Received: 21 May 2013 / Revised: 24 July 2013 / Accepted: 24 July 2013 / Published: 31 July 2013

Abstract: This article considers contemporary border management regimes from a human rights perspective. It demonstrates how a preoccupation with border controls and enforcement has led to serious concerns for the safety and protection of migrants. As border zones have expanded, border crossing has become a more stigmatized and dangerous activity, and even as globalization has given rise to easier and faster international travel, for some, such movement has been outlawed and stigmatized. Measures to strengthen and "secure" borders have paradoxically made migrants, particularly irregular and vulnerable migrants, more at risk of violence and exploitation by non-State and State actors. Migration governance regimes at international borders are thus increasingly located within security and enforcement frameworks that pay little attention to the principles and standards of international human rights law. The paper argues that a human rights-based approach to such regimes is urgently needed, in order to address a growing human rights crisis at international borders.

NOT CHANGE LINES LIKE A LEGENDARY SKIN. Just how it sounds - Like with Arclight Varus having his filter removed to sound slightly less demonic. Skins such as Spooky Gangplank (should sound more spooky) Heartseeker Vayne (I cannot use this silly skin with Vayne's uber serious night hunter voice) and there are several others that come to mind. The skins feel quite odd with their normal voices. Lines don't have to be changed, just the way they sound - Even a minimal change. I wouldn't mind an increase in cost for these skins if it made them better... Thoughts? Unnecessary or a good idea? Doesn't sound like it'd take too much effort to do, but I haven't a clue :P

This gripper works great! Love the wide lip on the bottom for the pan as it holds the pans tightly and does not wobble at all.

Just like all American Metalcraft items, these pan grippers were made to last. Heavy duty construction that won't break when you need it - when pulling a pizza from the oven.
Michael S. from Six Hundred Downtown Posted on 12/31/2014
This product wold be great for pizza places, because the heavy duty pizza griper can hold a deep dish pizza pan right out from the oven. With out a oven mitt,
Jonathan D. from Zackey joe's Posted on 09/23/2014
The gripper is very well made and I have no doubt it will last a very long time. It works very well for grabbing my coupe pans when the handle is lower than the pan. When I use this in my home over though, it's a bit awkward when grabbing the pan from above because it's hard to get the gripper under the crust. Look closely at the picture and you will see a difference between the upper and lower gripper. Awkwardness aside, I still use it with my home over because it's far easier than fussing with mitts. I'm glad I bought it.
William A. Posted on 07/26/2014
Used these for years at a major pizza "hut". They last for a very long time and fit nicely in your hand. Eventually the springs wear out and they become a little difficult to use. For the price though, you certainly get your money's worth.
Eric S. Posted on 06/23/2014
these are great to have in the pizza shop. they help with the quick moving around of pizza pans all over the place. they help prevent people from getting burned.
Tom M. Posted on 03/09/2013
Ive been searching for a nice tool like this one to help with taking out our deep dish pizzas. The old grabbers we had did not grip well and would often result in dropping the pan making it diffucult taking out our heavy chicago deep dish pizzas. Problem Solved

DETAILS: 'Y&R's' Melissa Claire Egan On Working With Justin Hartley and What To Expect When Adam Returns From the Dead!
on Thursday, October 23, 2014 @ 2:18 PM
With a slew of soap weddings under her belt, a run at playing "crazy" and nearly a decade of daytime experience between "The Young and the Restless" and "All My Children," a back-from-the-dead storyline is no big thang for "Y&R's" Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea Lawson). Except for when the back-from-the-dead character happens to be her alter ego's kid-killing husband, and that same guy's real-life recast happens to be one of the most talked about soap events of the year! So just how is Egan taking in all of the madness surrounding Adam's big return from the "dead," including the fact that the character is now being played by Justin Hartley? Soap Opera Network caught up with the actress to find out!

Casting Calls
Senior Vice President of CBS Daytime: David Tom/Burgess Jenkins 'Y&R' Recast Was a 'Hard Decision'
on Monday, July 7, 2014 @ 2:04 PM
"The Young and the Restless'" Billy Abbot has seen quite a transformation in recent months. After portrayer Billy Miller decided to walk away from the show in January of this year, former portrayer David Tom was cast in the role. But just a few short months later, it was announced that Tom — who previously played the character from 1999 to 2002 — had been ordered to pack his bags so that daytime newcomer Burgess Jenkins could step into the role. And while it was Miller's decision to leave the character he'd played since 2008, the same cannot be said for Tom, who was reportedly very surprised to learn he'd been replaced with Jenkins after just four months of being back in the role! So what happened to lead to such a quick casting turnaround? We asked CBS Vice President of Daytime, Angelica McDaniel, who told Soap Opera Network that the recast was not an easy turn of events for anyone involved.

On that day, daytime newcomer Burgess Jenkins took over the role of Billy Abbott on CBS' "The Young and the Restless" from David Tom, who himself succeeded three-time Daytime Emmy Award winning actor Billy Miller in the popular role, but how did Jenkins land himself on daytime's most watched drama series? "My management called me and they were talking to me about this role, and when they sent me the breakdown on the character, I just fell in love. I absolutely fell in love with Billy," said Jenkins when Soap Opera Network spoke with the actor in the gifting suite at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA as part of Daytime Emmy weekend. "There's not a whole lot of characters you see that are so multi-layered and interesting that way. I had a chance to meet with the producers to discuss the character and the show, and it just seemed like a good fit," added Jenkins, who noted that the conversation he had with producers on the character helped give him something to dig into before the cameras began to roll.

Justices Hear Case Over Suits For Overseas Abuses
WASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ The Supreme Court's conservative justices sounded skeptical Tuesday about allowing multinational corporations to be sued in American courts over claims that they were complicit in human rights abuses in foreign countries.
The court heard arguments over whether a 223-year-old law gives foreign victims of abuses the right to use U.S. courts to try to prove that companies played a role in atrocities and should pay damages.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, whose vote often decides closely contested cases, appeared ready to join his four fellow Republican appointees in ruling out lawsuits against corporations under the Alien Tort Statute.
The issue is at the heart of a lawsuit by 12 Nigerians who want to hold oil giant Royal Dutch Shell liable for aiding the Nigerian government's deadly crackdown on protests in the Niger Delta in the 1990s. In the second case argued Tuesday, the justices indicated they would rule that a 20-year-old law that allows victims of torture to pursue civil lawsuits against those responsible can only be invoked against individuals, not organizations or corporations. The dispute over the reach of the Alien Tort Statute has drawn intense interest from businesses, human rights groups and even U.S. allies that oppose a broad interpretation of the law. The Obama administration is siding with the Nigerian plaintiffs. The Alien Tort Statute went unused for most of American history until rights lawyers dusted it off beginning in the late 1970s. Lawsuits have been brought against individuals who allegedly took part in abuses and, more recently, against companies that do business in places where abuses occur and in the United States. Arguments over who may be sued under the law turn in part on how other countries and international courts treat human rights violations. Business interests say that corporations can't be sued in most of the rest of the world.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

In God We Trust Posted on August 3rd, 2010 By Rodney Warner, JD Rodney Warner, JD I am, as best as I can describe it, a Roman Catholic. I was raised in the church, have had all the appropriate sacraments for a person of my age, and attend mass (most of the time). I would be most accurately described as a "cafeteria Catholic". That is, I pick and choose those Catholic beliefs to hold dear, others I hold at a distance. I'm a skeptic at heart. I was a reporter, later an attorney. We take nothing at face value. Or, at least, we shouldn't. I prayed like I never prayed before when I was first diagnosed with cancer. Later, nothing focused my ability to pray like having a CT or PET scan. I felt like I found an open line to God. When cancer treatment was going poorly, I'd alternate between doubting God's existence, to cursing Him, to begging Him for help. Such are the things God has to put up with when dealing with us humans. From 2003 to mid-2004 or so, I was starting to feel like there really may be Someone looking after me. After my second relapse, a doctor told me further treatment would be a waste of time, but I was in remission for a pretty miraculous third time in three years. I was feeling truly blessed. Despite my ingrained skepticism, I was starting to "get religion". In June 2004, my brother was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. He died of the disease about two and a half years later. It shakes my faith. Why Bart? He was such a great guy. There are so many scum bag people screwing up the world who deserve an early exit, but it was Bart who died at age 46? All this talk of a loving, compassionate, all-powerful God made absolutely no sense. Of course, all my life I've known that wonderful people suffer and die. Every newscast, every newspaper, is filled with stories of wonderful people meeting early, often gruesome, deaths. But I never really thought about it, because none of those people were known to me. Bart was my brother. Why bad things happen to good people has been a topic of debate for as long as people have been capable of debating. From the Old Testament, Job, as I understand it, endured the most grievous suffering, and asked God, why? His response essentially was, I am way more powerful than you can possibly imagine, and I am utterly beyond your comprehension. I do what I do, and you'll just have to obey my laws, deal with it and hope for the best. Good a response as any, I suppose. I used to reason that people suffered so those of us not suffering (for the time being) can better appreciate the fact that we're not suffering (for the time being). Jesus suffered and died at an early age, why not Bart? Why not me? I would think there couldn't possibly be a God, if there is something as awful as cancer running loose in the world (not to mention plagues, wars, famines, etc.). But I'd also think, could there be anyone as wonderful as my daughter (or Bart), without a God? When I figure this out, I'll let you know. If you've figured this out, let me know.
A comment from our Facebook page from Nike: Thanks for your interesting blog…it resonated with my own experience. When living through the acute phase of my cancer treatments I too reflected often about God, reverberating back and forth as to whether I believed or not. Before that t…ime I was a believing Greek Orthodox christian, but by my second year of treatment, at the age of 27, I wholeheartedly determined that God was a figment of every believer's imagination. So in my time of need, I turned into a non-believer. Now I am so thankful to be alive, to be alive for at least 25 more years, to have two wonderful children and a good life. So how do I explain all that? Is it just fate!! Or is there some almighty being out there of some kind? Hmmmm? I think I am still on the fence too despite it all.
World famous atheist Christopher Hitchens has been diagnosed with cancer. He talks to CNN's Anderson Cooper about it… http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2010/08/05/hitchens-on-cancer-diagnosis-why-not-me/?hpt=C2
God loves Bart, your daughter and you very much. Bad things and good things happen to good and bad people all the time. Without the bad, you do not know the good and without the good, bad is actually not so bad. God is love and if you love Him as much as I do, you no longer ask why because you will find peace in Him despite all the distractions of the world.

Love this….such a great reminder!
October 14, 2012
by Kelli France | Editor in Chief
At The Savvy Workshop, where I recently attended as a Speaker, Jamie Schultz shared this poem and I can't stop thinking about it. I love it so much that I am going to frame it in my office because I want it to guide my actions in life and in my business. I think true happiness and confidence comes from forgetting yourself and helping others.
I created this as an 8x10 Printable in case you wanted to print it and put it in your office too.

Stock Market Today: Dow Slips Below 17,000 Mark With Little to Re-Energize Rally
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stocks dropped on Tuesday with little market-moving news to sustain the rally that swept benchmark indices to record highs last week. After smashing through its 17,000-level days earlier, the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled below the threshold. The session marked a quiet period between a jam-packed economic calendar last week and the kickoff of the unofficial earnings season after the bell.
Ongoing chatter about an earlier-than-expected rate hike by the Federal Reserve continues to underpin market caution. As nuggets of data out last week pointed to an economy well on the mend, more and more investors are starting to expect that the U.S. central bank must expedite its timetable for scaling back its ultra-loose monetary policy.
At market close, the Dow was down 0.69% to 16,906.62. The S&P 500 retreated 0.7% to 1,963.71. The Nasdaq dumped 1.4% to 4,391.46.
Markets are looking likely to close lower for their second day in a row after cresting highs days earlier, a move which Raymond James analyst Jeffrey Saut notes is similar to a trend seen in the summer of 2011, a period that suffered a 18% decline.
"While I do not think any pullback from here will be that severe, I do think we are vulnerable to a 10%-12% decline in the weeks ahead, albeit within the construct of a secular bull market that has years left to run," Saut wrote in a note. Second-quarter earnings season unofficially began Tuesday after the markets closed with the announcement of Alcoa's (AA - Get Report) results. The aluminum maker reported second-quarter earnings of 18 cents a share, 6 cents higher than analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected. S&P Capital IQ consensus estimates point to a second-quarter 2014 earnings increase of 6.6%, nearly twice the 3.4% year-over-year gain a quarter earlier. The Labor Department's Job Openings and Labor Turnover survey for May showed little movement. The survey indicated 4.6 million job openings on the final business day of May, little changed from 4.5 million in April. Likewise, a hires rate of 3.4% and separations rate of 3.2% barely moved over the month. July 8 Premarket Briefing: 10 Things You Should Know Stock Market Today: Stocks' Record Run Ends on Eve of Earnings Season European Stocks Fall on U.K. Manufacturing Slump European stocks continued to lose steam on Tuesday, as disappointing corporate news and an unexpected U.K. manufacturing slump caused some jitters. Furthermore, German imports and exports declined more than expected in May, signaling a weakening of Europe's largest economy. Asian stocks were mixed. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng was unchanged at 23,541.38, while in Tokyo the Nikkei shed 0.42% to 15,314. On Monday, U.S. benchmark indices tumbled after a record-breaking run to close out last week. Few industries were left untouched by a broad-based selloff over the session. High-momentum tech names were some of the worst-performing shares on Tuesday, dragging heavily on the Nasdaq. Facebook (FB) dropped 3.9% to $62.76, Twitter (TWTR) plunged 7% to $37.41, and Netflix (NFLX) slipped 3.4% to $445.05. Apple (AAPL - Get Report) wasn't exempt, sliding 0.64% after The Wall Street Journal reported CEO Tim Cook is actively seeking new directors to add to the company's eight-person board. Tesla (TSLA) shares were surrendering 1.6% after it was reported that the electric car maker is being sued in China for trademark infringement, a surprise development that casts a shadow over CEO Musk's ambition to expand rapidly there, Reuters reported. Box, the online-storage startup, raised $150 million in funding from private-equity firm TPG and hedge fund Coatue Management, the company said on Monday in a regulatory filing. Longview Asset Management is urging PetSmart's (PETM) board to consider strategic alternatives, including exploring a sale of the company, shortly after activist hedge fund Jana Partners proposed this path for PetSmart. Crumbs (CRMB), the cupcake shop, said it will close all its stores a week after it was delisted from the Nasdaq. --By Keris Alison Lahiff and Andrea Tse in New York.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Fitch, who was released by the UFC in February following a loss to Demian Maia, recently posted a video discussing his earnings with the promotion. Fitch has since inked a four-fight deal with the World Series of Fighting and will make his debut this Friday, headlining WSOF 3 against Josh Burkman at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The main draw airs on the NBC Sports Network, while the preliminary card streams live and free on Sherdog.com.
Fitch's video was likely made in response to comments recently made by UFC President Dana White, who referenced the welterweight's earnings while telling MMAJunkie.com that Fitch was "delusional" for claiming that the UFC was a hostile work environment. However, Fitch did not have any dispute with White's assertion that he made more than $302,000 in bonuses, as his estimate in that category was right in line with the UFC boss's calculation.
"In my 18 fights with the UFC, I was paid $1,020,000. That was show money and win money. I also made about $300,000 in bonuses," Fitch said. "Two of those bonuses were 'Fight of the Night' bonuses -- one was Georges St. Pierre, a $60,000 'Fight of the Night' and the Erick Silva fight, that was a $70,000 bonus. So, in total, I made 1.322 million.
"That sounds like a lot of money, but let's look at that a little bit closer. Out of the 18 fights, that fight purse of $1.020 million, I paid 20 percent of that to management and the gym," Fitch continued. "If you take that number, $1.322 million, divide it by seven and a half years, I was roughly making just over $176,000 a year. Now remember, that's before management and gym fees. You also have other expenses that you have to pay for, equipment and stuff like that."
Fitch also did his own research in order to come up with a rough estimate of how much revenue the UFC generated for fight cards in which he took part. While the video Fitch posted included a disclaimer that the UFC figures he found might not be completely accurate, he said he was able to find ticket sales for 15 of his fights and pay-per-view buys for four of his bouts. According to Fitch's figures, the promotion made a $36 million gate and $208 million in pay-per-view buys.
"Now, 50 to 60 percent of that money goes to whoever the [pay-per-view] provider is, which still leaves them with about $104 million on four [pay-per-views]," Fitch said. "If you add those two numbers [gate and pay-per-view buys] together you're looking at $140 million. Now that is an extreme lowball for the amount of money that they're making... I also have no idea what they're making in sponsorships, merchandising, DVD sales, video game sales, and who knows what other kind of revenue they have coming in from other stuff that they're selling."
In terms of pay scale, Fitch says he was in the upper echelon of fighters on the UFC payroll.
"I was one of the fighters who was on the medium to high pay grade. because I won consistently . When you win consistently your pay bumps up every fight. If you lose, you get stuck at the same pay scale, so it's important to win. Most fighters didn't make as much money as I did. That's a fact," he said.
According to Fitch, money has never been the primary concern during a 31-fight professional career that began in 2002, even though the subject always seems to come up in tandem with discussion of his UFC release.
"I've always loved the money I made from fighting with the UFC and organizations before I fought with the UFC. I've never even complained about fighting when I had fought for $250 or $500," Fitch said. "I didn't even complain when I fought in an eight-man tournament in Mexico for $1,500. Money was never important to me. It's not why I fight, it wasn't the point of fighting. I wanted to be the best in the world and prove that I was the best in the world."
