Miss Spider could not sleep that night
Her dreams were full of shock and fright
And nothing but love would make it right
But she knew it wasn't worth the fight
Her legs were crossed
And her face was grim
The moment she caught sight of him
She posed as pretty as could be
In hopes of attracting he to She
Perhaps this one would behave
And cherish all the love She gave
As he walked by, she gave a wave
And a big smile crossed his handsome face
He sat down near Her feat
The look in his eye was such a treat
Under the moonlight, She would meet
The one who'd sweep Her off Her feet
In only days, it turned to love
Her dream come true
A gift from above
He showed Her a side of things, unseen
He made Miss Spider his love
His Queen
As She reveled in his love and passion
She wondered how She'd ever fashion
A life with one who could hurt her so
Should he decide to up and go
Then She began to push him away
Harsh words and actions to hasten the day
That She knew would come about, anyway
"Goodbye, My love. Now, go away!"
Though he did not understand
Was he not enough a man?
He was simply too blind to see
That She was terrified to be a We

OGUNQUIT — When a larger than usual number of people attended the Oct. 15 Select Board meeting, Town Manager Tom Fortier knew exactly why they were there: a proposal to put a new Mexican restaurant, El Rodeo, at 355 Main St.
OGUNQUIT — When a larger than usual number of people attended the Oct. 15 Select Board meeting, Town Manager Tom Fortier knew exactly why they were there: a proposal to put a new Mexican restaurant, El Rodeo, at 355 Main St.
"A lot of you are concerned about a new restaurant that might be coming to town," Fortier told the crowd. "I just want to caution everybody that it's not on the agenda...;we're not going to take any action tonight."
El Rodeo, a family-owned chain from Pennsylvania, is also putting in a restaurant in Newington, N.H. this year. They also have a restaurant in South Portland.
Fortier said despite public concerns, and taking into account the town ordinance prohibiting formula restaurants, the town's code enforcement officer and attornery had determined that the proposed restaurant is not a formula restaurant.
"Now there are many people in the audience who don't agree with that and there are members of the Select Board that don't agree with that," Fortier said, "so we're going to have an issue on our hands."
The restaurant had applied for a business license and should have inspections completed by next week, Fortier said.
"I would recommend to the Select Board and the public that we have a special meeting next week to address this," he said. "I don't think it's fair to go so far down the line and then tell them they can't open."
The Select Board agreed to hold a special meeting at 6 p.m. next Tuesday, Oct. 22 to discuss this topic.
Next, under public input, Mary Breen spoke on the background of the Formula Restaurant Ordinance now in place and how hard she and others had worked on it in 2005.
"It was a community event," she said. "A grassroots organization to present to the voters...;that we didn't have an ordinance in place."
Breen emphasised their work "to keep the character of this special little town" and went on to add that "their (the restaurant's) own website says they are a chain. By definition a formula restaurant is a chain."
"We created a campaign to keep these type of places out of Ogunquit," she said. "Seventy-two percent of your voters approved of that and in 2006 it became law. In my opinion, and hopefully yours, too, it's your duty to uphold that law and to make sure the floodgates don't open.
Barbara Treen later spoke on the topic, saying, "It is such a vital issue — for many people who make the decisions it's their job but this is our home."
Selectman Chris Jarochym added that after he received inquiries from residents on this subject he did his own research, finding they had eight locations in Pennsylvania, five in North Carolina, five in Virginia, two in Portland and two in New Hampshire, prompting him to remark "from what I've seen, if it looks like a duck, smells like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck."
In other business, Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Karen Arel informed the board of the Chamber's intent to host "The Great Race" on June 21, 2014. Approximately 100 antique cars, each with a team of two to three drivers, will start the race from Ogunquit Beach at 8 a.m. that Saturday morning and head south on their way to Florida. Arel called this a family-friendly event with many of the teams comprised of fathers, sons and other family members.
Selectman Bob Winn also announced a need for volunteers to work with professionals and experts in the formation of a task force to address beach erosion.

Easter Baskets
This years Easter Basket theme was flowers and pencils! Grace has been very interested in all things violet, so she received seeds to grow violets, violet candies, violet hand handcream and a wonderful book about baking with flowers (it includes directions to make candied violets).
Harris has a fascination with really good writing utensils, so his basket contained the iconic Blackwing pencils, a really good pencil sharpener, a pencil holder for his desk and a book by a great writer. He also got a chocolate bunny, but had eaten it by the time I took the picture :).

Easter 2016
I hope you all had a lovely Easter! We went to a friends house on Saturday for an egg hunt and they had over 3,000 eggs! It was crazy and so fun for all.
On Easter Sunday, we went to a sunrise service which was really nice. I had never been to one and sort of loved the fact that it was casual (we sat on a blanket), not dressy (Harris wore a blanket) and focused on Jesus. And then we had the rest of the day to eat lots of food, visit with family and go for a walk in the woods. All in all, it made for a pretty awesome day.
(anyone know why the icing got splotchy after it dried?)

A Little Story
This week, after I dropped Grace off at ballet, I ran an errand in an area where I had to parallel park. When I came out of the store I discovered, much to my frustration, that my car wouldn't start. Turns out the starter was bad, and I only mention that I was parallel parked because as it turns out, it's very difficult (read: impossible) to tow a vehicle while cars are parked in front of it and behind. Luckily, the technician was able to get it temporarily started by banging away at something in the engine (super technical, I know).
Anyway, I was forced to clean out my car in a hurry before it went to the garage, and in doing so I found a little green notebook of Graces. In this little notebook there were all sorts of little treasures in the form of stories that she's started. My favorite one was about Father Christmas and a mouse. I adore the last line and the accompanying picture!

Favorite Things #54
One of Bryce's Christmas gifts to me this year was an artists rendering of a favorite picture of the children and I. The picture was from Mother's Day a couple of years ago and I love both the picture and the watercolor. Having this moment in time with the children captured makes me so happy and I so enjoy it sitting on my desk. So... maybe now is the time to give your significant other a little nudge before Mother's Day?
P.S. I especially love how she gave me a much smaller waist than I actually have!

March Madness
You guys, I have felt the craziest I can remember feeling in a long time the past couple of months. We seem to be trying to fit a lot in and in a very short amount of time. There's so much I want to post about, but there just hasn't been the time, energy or even photos to do so! Here are some things that are going on in this crazy season for us...
*We are getting ready to list our house and I decided that we should just stick a "for sale by owner" sign in the yard for a month. Turns out this is pretty stressful!
*We are planning our cross country trip for this summer (more on that soon) and it's taking a tremendous amount of time.
*We are working with architects to make some changes to Frog's Hollow. I thought we would be doing work by now, but everything is moving super slow. However, I've made improvements to the cottage and will share soon.
*Grace is getting ready to graduate from Waldorf and there are lots and lots of things going on. Plus, we have to decide on a high school!
*Harris is graduating from 5th grade to middle school! Again, lots and lots of activities going on and we also have to decide on middle school plans!
*We need to pack, move and get settled in at the Hollow before our summer trip!
*Ballet is still going strong and baseball has begun.
This list isn't meant as a complaint in the least. I feel so blessed, excited and lucky to be doing every one of the above things, but I'm working on making it manageable instead of overwhelming!

Initialed French Torchons
At some point last year I started collecting French linen torchons (better known as dishtowels)! I read somewhere how great the old, thick fabric they were made out of was and how durable they were in a kitchen and I love how they add a little bit of stylish flair.
I picked the first ones up because they had my initials on them and then thought how fun it would be to have a towel with each of our initials on it. Over the course of a year, whenever I would remember, I would do a quick search on Etsy and if I was lucky I would find some. Oddly, it was Grace's that took the longest to find.
Recently, I found Grace's initials and my collection is now complete! Also, I fully intend to use these so they won't look this pristine for long.

From Cub Scout to Boy Scout
Saturday night was our last Blue and Gold dinner for scouts as Harris "crossed the bridge" to become a Boy Scout rather than a Cub Scout! This also ends the era of Bryce being the leader of Harris' pack. I can't help but think that some day Harris will appreciate all the time and effort that Bryce put in with these boys over the past 5 years. I know he would say that it was a privilege and honor to watch the boys progress and grow.... and that he learned a lot of patience!

DIY Thank You Cards
I thought I'd share these cute thank you cards that Grace made for her thank you notes for birthday gifts. I thought they were darling and super easy to make with washi tape! All you need is washi tape, scissors, blank cards (Michael's carries them) and a pen.

48 hours in Nashville, Tennessee
I just got back from a quick girls trip to Nashville, Tennessee. I had never been to Nashville so I had no idea what a fun and cool town it was! Cathy and I met Kristin there and we spent 48 hours belly laughing, listening to amazing music, line dancing, catching up and eating delicious, southern food. We went without any real plan or agenda and yet everything flowed beautifully. It was the perfect weekend. Here are some pictures...

A (Teenager!) Bonfire Party
For her 14th birthday, Grace asked to have all of her classmates over for a bonfire at the Hollow. In the four years that she's been at Waldorf, she has never had a party where she invited the whole class, but this year it felt right to do so.
I find teenager parties to be both exciting and scary! It wouldn't be appropriate to schedule every moment, but it also felt like there needed to be some boundaries. We came up with a loose plan of going for a winter walk in the woods, a bonfire, chili and music in the barn.
Grace and Bryce set up benches using tree stumps and old wood on the property. It was rustic, but worked perfectly!
You guys, I could have taken approximately one million pictures because these children are just so photogenic, they look like J Crew models, but I was trying to balance the art of being present but not a nuisance.
Luckily, these Waldorf kids are used to being out in all sorts of weather so the freezing temperatures didn't seem to phase them at all.
We had a very general theme centered around the cold temperatures and the bonfire. Grace hand lettered the hot chocolate blackboard.
I found this Little Brown Jug on eBay and it is now my new favorite thing. I don't think it was ever even used (it came in its original box with instructions). We used our favorite hot cocoa and a full gallon fit inside. Also, it pours beautifully!
We also served some toppings and homemade marshmallows.
I made a s'more cake that tasted remarkably like a s'more. The body of the cake was made with graham crackers with a layer of milk chocolate ganache. We almost had disaster when the marshmallow fluff frosting I made was a total disaster, but a Martha recipe saved the day. Bryce torched the cake and it looked fantastic!
Also, these blankets are ranking up there as new favorites as well. Every time I thought about the party, I envisioned the kids having blankets to wrap up in. However, new wool blankets turned out to be entirely too pricy! I decided to buy vintage ones on eBay, but I set some parameters so that I wouldn't get carried away. $15 per blanket was the max and it couldn't have holes, rips or tears. I couldn't be happier with what I got; the blankets are thick and beautiful! I have no doubt they will be used for many more bonfires!
We served chili and Fritos later in the evening and the kids moved into the barn to stay warm!
Grace has a wonderful group of friends and she thoroughly enjoyed celebrating with them!

My first encounter with Yogi Bhajan was in 1979 at Women's Camp. Those weeks living beneath the cotton woods, meditating with the master transformed my relationship to my self and my mind. I remember the strange feeling that there was nothing to do, nowhere to go—complete peace within my self. I felt a deep security, the only thing I could not live without, my soul, could not be lost. Twenty years later, on the same campus in Espanola during the Level Two course Conscious Communication, I sat and learned at the physical feet of Yogi Bhajan for the last time. […]read more »

Click on individual units for a description
The Gospel, Cultural Anthropology and Ethnographic Methods, EM705 – 4
This unit serves to provide up-to-date, specialised knowledge and understanding of the core frameworks of cultural anthropology, its place in practical theological reflection and the methods by which cultural data may be collected, sifted and interpreted for the sake of cross-cultural ministry effectiveness. Topics include: the dimensions and scope of cultural anthropology as a missiological discipline, how an anthropological lens may be employed as a grid to interpret ministry situations and practices, the notion of worldview and its implication for the communication of the gospel and Christian mission. A range of approaches to ethnographic data collection and analysis and the ethical and emancipatory dimensions of ethnographic research are explored.
Effective Christian Education across Cultures, EM706 – 4
This unit will enable candidates to research the local mindsets, plan responses, and develop curriculum materials to empathically serve the educational needs of various receptor cultures in which they are situated. The unit introduces postgraduate students to the current attitudes and approaches to education across boundaries of culture and worldview difference. Students will critically reflect upon various approaches and devise strategies that are appropriate to the design and delivery of educational materials allied to their ministry specialisation in cross-cultural contexts. The aim is to also enable these candidates to resolve problems that arise in an educational context with sensitivity to the cultural values and perspectives of the learner. Pedagogically this will be achieved through providing guidelines regarding pre-testing and other forms of data collection as well as diagnostic grids that enable the discernment of the contextual particulars of the learning style and educational values of the community of learners being served.
Applied Linguistics for Mission, EM704 – 4
Drawing upon prior study and grounding in mission experience, students will gain an understanding of what it means to 'do linguistics' in their own context of service in cross-cultural mission. This level of unit extends beyond foundational concepts to cover the practices and specialised knowledge required for accreditation as a 'Linguistic specialist'; or for persons who could add value to their current role within mission teams whose ministry focus relates to, or depends upon, language development of a particular people group. Specific content will vary according to the focus of the particular cohort, whether language development, linguistic research, translation, literacy or other mission activity. The typical offering of this unit will survey recent applied linguistic theorists and implications for doing linguistics in a mission context, recent theoretical shifts as they affect the work of Scripture translation, language acquisition, Scripture engagement or literacy education, and address social and political realities and the practice of applied linguistic vocations in situ.
Academic Writing for Ministry or Mission, PC704 – 4
This unit aims to foster and normalise the vocational connection between the focal interests of the mission practitioner or ministry person, and the scholarly world of research publication. While the topic chosen should enhance the postgraduate student's knowledge of the subject area and should encourage initiative and develop the student's powers of independent inquiry and argumentation, these skills serve the purpose of developing the student's written or visual communication skills at a scholarly and popular-peer level. This unit apprentices the postgraduate student into the disciplines involved in producing articles worthy of scholarly and popular publishing. To this end, the candidate will produce an acceptable article, critical literature review, or meta-survey of literature pertinent to their vocation, and their research interests within that field.
Leadership Development in a Cross-Cultural Context, EM761
At the end of the unit, candidates should be able to evaluate the models demonstrated and teaching given on leadership in the Old and New Testaments, including the concept of servant leadership. They should also be able to distinguish the cultural factors that impact on the development of effective Christian leaders in a specific culture, whether western or non-western. In addition, they should be able to compare and contrast different cultural leadership styles and leadership development processes in light of a biblical concept of servant leadership so as to design a Christian leadership development process appropriate to a specific culture and based upon an effective needs assessment.
Contextualisation of Theology and Ministry Practice, EM780 – 4
This unit is an alternative or sequel to the study of cultural anthropology. While many of the frameworks in these units overlap, this unit is more concerned for those who have to develop a reasoned Christian response to theological or ethical phenomena; maintaining a high view of biblical authority, while being sensitive to the potential for cultural misinterpretation of the concepts. Topics covered include biblical basis for contextualisation, the history of contextualisation, communication and anthropological models and the issue of worldview and redemptive analogies. Candidates will be introduced to a range of models of contextual approaches to theological thinking and actually dealing with critical ecclesiological and missiological issues in a distinct cultural context.
Evangelism and Missiology Conference Participation, EM702 – 4
This unit will prepare the candidate for a conference in areas relevant to their mission practice or ministry by reflecting on the relevant scholarship and practice. Usually candidates will present a paper or artefact at an actual conference during semester time and later critically evaluate the conference theologically, professionally and personally. This unit will involve the candidate attending at least 12 hours of presentations or workshops at an approved conference after which they will reflect both theologically and personally upon their experience at the conference in which they participated. Four units (16 cps) at 700 level must first be completed to provide grounding for the requirements of this unit.
Minor Project EM795
This project is a piece of supervised research that is within 10% of 14,000 words excluding footnotes and bibliography. Guidelines are found in the ACT handbooks. The candidate will be assigned a supervisor with expertise in either the methodology or the content area chosen. The topic is first approved by the EM moderator in the field of linguistics and then the candidate has one semester to complete. Usually the prior work in Research methods RM795 and Academic Writing for Ministry and Mission has already prepared the candidate for this work and the candidate may use some aspect of the project in their Conference Participation Unit EM 702. The project is to include a 300-word abstract and will usually be marked internally within the SILA or MST academic community. Ethics approval may also be required from the MST or ACT ethics committee if the topic chosen involves data gained from living human participants.
Introduction to Research Methods, RM095
In this practical unit students will be exposed to a wide range of research approaches, methods and activities. This course will be taught as a one-week intensive with pre-readings and online discussions with peers throughout the semester. Culminating in an ethics application and research plan with clear research questions justifying the approach based on philosophical, theological, methodological and ethical considerations.

On today's show Lori talked about the making of In It Together. She started off sharing about the unusual way the show started out in radio, how she co-hosted and guest hosted the Girard At Large show during her time at WLMW. She then told us about launching In It Together on WLMW and The VoiceAmerica Variety Channel. She shared about the industry leaders she interviewed, and the fast jump from airing one day a week to five days a week.
Next, Lori told us about the past show anchors she had the pleasure of working with, how they met and what they talked about. Then she told us about being able to do interviews at the last presidential election on Radio Row at the Radisson in Manchester. She then highlighted the current anchors and how they are trying to make an impact. Finally, Lori told us about the new expansion and renovations as they occupy the entire top floor above Jacques flower Shop, and their hopes of launching Good News New England this year, and adding video and written content. Listen in and hear more about it.

There is a wonderful movement sweeping across our country. We are becoming localvores. Once again we are connecting with the people who grow and sell our food and with each other. This is about more than eating healthy, fresh, local food. It's about reclaiming our days, reminding ourselves that there's more to life than accumulating toys, and rebuilding our communities economically, physically, and spiritually one human connection at a time. Our grandparents just called it living.
Come see what we're all about! The Natural Meat Store at DaCy Meadow Farm. Just 1 mile East off I-87 Exit 31 on Rt. 9N in Westport.

- Don't miss Associated Press coverage with videos about the Ark Encounter project. Listen to the people involved in the planning and building of this epic undertaking tell you about the nine themed areas of the Ark Encounter park as well as its positive economic impact. This full-size, authentically constructed replica of Noah's Ark will immerse guests in the lives and times of Noah's family and even enable them to see how they cared for the animals. Guests will see how Noah fit the animals on the Ark. The Ark Encounter will remind guests that God's Word is true. While detractors express concern that the public is gullible and claim Kentucky has "cornered the market on Jesus freaks," we know that people need true answers that they can examine with discernment. The goal of the Ark Encounter project is to reverently and joyfully fulfill God's commission to "always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you" (1 Peter 3:15). People should be able to see that faith in God's Word is reasonable and that they can trust Jesus Christ, our Savior, whom the Bible proclaims.
- The lower jawbone of a bird consistent with a 30 cm (1 ft.) long skull has been dug from Cretaceous rocks in Kazakhstan. The new species Samrukia nessovi is only the second giant bird deemed by evolutionary paleontologists to have coexisted with dinosaurs. "We can now be really confident that Mesozoic terrestrial birds weren't all thrush-sized or crow-sized animals—giant size definitely evolved in these animals, and giant forms were living in at least two distinct regions," Dr. Darren Naish1 said. "This fits into a larger, emerging picture—Mesozoic birds were ecologically diverse, with lots of overlap between them and modern groups." Uncertain about its flight abilities until more bones can be found, he adds, "People have said there weren't big birds when there were big pterosaurs, but now we know there were."2 We know biblically of course that birds shared the world with dinosaurs having been created one day before them. Given the evolutionary contention that human beings weren't around in Cretaceous times, the sketch illustrating the CBSNews article titled "Big bird—really big bird—from dino era discovered" is rather amusing: it shows a human pondering the big birds.
- The origin of wood has long been a mystery to evolutionists. Fossils of woody stems from rocks dated at 407 million years ago have pushed the evolutionary story about wood's evolutionary roots back by ten million years. Because the stems are small, evolutionary paleobotanists are confident that wood evolved to transport water rather than provide strength. They express amazement that from little stems mighty trees evolved in just a few million years. We find it interesting that the microscopic structure of the stems is exactly like that we find today. There are no transitional forms being reported here, and the dating methods are subject to the usual faulty assumptions. The biblical account in Genesis chapter one assures us that God made trees on day three of Creation week.
- The Everyday Champions Church is seeking permission from the British Department of Education to open a school in Nottinghamshire, England. Their website states, "We believe that the Bible is God's Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our every day lives." Pastor Gareth Morgan says, "Creationism will be embodied as a belief at the Everyday Champions Academy but will not be taught in the sciences. Similarly, evolution will be taught as a theory." Although the school's application is under consideration, it faces an uphill battle. The British Secretary of Education has previously promised creationism would not be permitted in free schools. The British Humanist Association vocally opposes what they call "the creep of creationism into the English education system." Though attendance at the school would be voluntary and would "welcome children from all faiths or none," the website states that the "values of the Christian faith will be the foundation of the school philosophy."

The First Woman
Some years ago, I read a parable of three women that became my guide for how I wanted to live Christian womanhood--but, unknown to me, that story poisoned my vision of womanhood.
This was the parable, as I remember it.
My Singleness Bargain
My Bargain With God
When I realized that my singleness was going to last years longer than I anticipated, I made a bargain with God.
"For as long as I am single, I desire only this: Let my singleness be more productive and glorifying to You than if I were married. Only let me marry when my marriage will serve You better."
It sounded spiritual, but it was really a cry of desperation. If I can't be married and fulfill my greatest desire, I want to know that my singleness is worth something. I'm so terrified of wasting my life.
Bruce Jenner's Missing Piece
Meet Yaasha
None of my life has gone the way it was "supposed to go," but I don't love my life any less because of the hardships and new directions. I see so much unexpected good in it, and I want others to see the good in theirs.

THE NEWLY elected national chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Freddie Blay, has called for unity to prevail after the party's annual delegates' conference held in Koforidua in the Eastern Region.
According to him, events leading to the elections have created some misunderstanding among aspirants which may be seen as normal but said that should be nipped in the bud as the party gears up for the 2020 general elections.
Mr. Blay, who made the appeal when delivering his congratulatory speech after being declared winner of the national chairmanship race, said;
"although some toes may have been stepped on during the campaign period, let's move on as a party to work for the good of Ghana. We must all come together and work towards retaining the seat in 2020 with our leader Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo".
He commended party delegates for reposing trust in him and confirming him as the substantive chairman after acting for some years following the suspension of former chairman, Mr. Paul Afoko.
He congratulated his closest contender, Mr. Stephen Ntim, on conceding defeat and for his assurance to continue to support the party. He called on all delegates and supporters to do away with any anger the elections might have engendered.
He indicated: "It is victory just as my very good friend Stephen Ntim said . . . it is a victory not for individuals, but for the party."
He said: "But one thing remains clear, and we want to send it right across to our opponents that we are now determined, not only to defend the government, not only to defend our days since 2016 but to win in 2020 and beyond . . ."
In 2016, Mr. Blay led the NPP to win the general elections massively.
President Akufo-Addo also urged aspirants who failed to secure victory to rally behind the new leaders to deliver quality leadership for the party ahead of the 2020 general elections.
The President was hopeful that the government would continue to deliver economic prosperity to Ghanaians if it retained power in 2020.

City of Spokane, school district trade property
Parcel at Albi swapped for piece of land in Southgate
Fri., July 12, 2013
Spokane Public Schools and the city of Spokane have swapped parcels of land in a deal they say is mutually beneficial.
The school district acquired 20 acres owned by the city near Joe Albi Stadium in exchange for about 2 acres on the west side of Regal Street at the intersection of Palouse Highway.
Detailed plans for the land are still unclear.
If voters support the school district's purchase of Joe Albi Stadium through an upcoming bond, the property there could become part of the complex's renovations, said Superintendent Shelley Redinger. Otherwise the property could become the site of a new school.
The city plans to use the land on Regal for traffic improvements and other development needs.
This is not the first time the city and district have swapped land. The city, for example, exchanged park land to build Shadle Park High School for the property where Loma Vista Park is now.
Discussions about the Albi and Regal parcels began about a year ago, city officials said.
"The opportunity to work with Spokane Public Schools arose out of a discussion about how we use our assets to best serve our citizens," said Spokane Mayor David Condon. "This agreement presents exciting possibilities to work with the Southgate Neighborhood to improve how people move through and utilize that area."
City spokesman Brian Coddington added, "I think we have a good history of partnership of working with the district and identifying opportunities that are beneficial to both parties and beneficial to the communities we serve."

Welcome to the World of 'Pension Smoothing'
New Bill Extends Provision That Allows Firms to Delay Making Pension Contributions
A government accounting maneuver to pay for road repairs, subways and buses will allow many U.S. businesses to delay billions of dollars in pension contributions for retirees.
President Barack Obama on Friday signed a $10.8 billion transportation bill that extends a "pension-smoothing" provision for another 10 months. In short: companies can delay making mandatory pension contributions, but because those payments are tax-deductible some businesses will pay slightly higher tax bills, which will help pay for the legislation.
Companies with 100 of the country's largest pensions were expected to contribute $44 billion to their plans this year, but that could be slashed by 30% next year, estimated John Ehrhardt, an actuary at consulting firm Milliman.
International Paper Co. IP 1.59% , for example, had planned to set aside $1 billion by 2016 to fund its $12.5 billion U.S. defined benefit plan. The paper company says it now expects to funnel that money into other projects, including share buybacks or investments in new plants.
"It means more cash for us," says Chief Financial Officer Carol Roberts.
But the accounting tactic is controversial. The government's moves could undermine its own efforts to shore up the pension system. Some worry about the strain it could put on the government agency tasked with protecting the retirement of 44 million workers.
"To use the federal pension insurance program to pay for wholly unrelated spending initiatives is just bad public policy," said Brad Belt, former executive director of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the government's pension insurer. "It has adverse implications for the funding of corporate pension plans."
Companies have struggled to keep up with mounting pension bills since 2008.
The present-day value of those promises increases when interest rates decline. Currently, the largest pensions have a $252 billion funding deficit, which has increased by $66 billion since the beginning of the year, according to Milliman.
The accounting maneuver was introduced in Congress's last highway bill in 2012, and was backed by large business groups, such as the Business Roundtable. The new bill, which expires in May, will extend the method.
The bill essentially allows companies to base their pension liability calculations on the average interest rate over the past 25 years, instead of the past two. The 25-year average is larger, because interest rates were much higher before the financial crisis.
The accounting technique doesn't actually reduce companies' obligations to retirees. Instead, it artificially lowers the present-day value of future liabilities by boosting the interest rate companies use to make that calculation.
The risk is that pension smoothing will ultimately increase corporate pension deficits by encouraging executives to delay payments, says the Congressional Budget Office. For instance, more companies could default on their obligations to retirees.
PBGC executives and labor unions aren't worried about the impact of the new transportation bill. "Even with this smoothing provision, we'll be in a vastly better position," says Marc Hopkins, an agency spokesman.
The financial health of the government's PBGC is improving. The agency has mapped out different scenarios of economic growth and estimated its fund to cover defaults will have an average deficit of $7.6 billion in 2023, down from $27.4 billion late last year.
Pension smoothing measures will only add $2.3 billion to its estimated deficit, the agency says.
The AFL-CIO, the nation's biggest labor union federation, says it supports pension smoothing because it reduces volatility to balance sheets, which makes the prospect of offering pensions less daunting.
"We've been supportive of greater smoothing in pension funding generally," said Shaun O'Brien, assistant policy director for health and retirement at the AFL-CIO. "While we would prefer a longer-term permanent change in the rules, we're supportive of the approach Congress has taken."
Under a 2006 law, companies need to make their plans whole over time. Pension smoothing provisions both artificially and temporarily make funding levels look healthier, so companies can lower their contributions.
Exelis Inc., a defense contractor, now expects to cut its pension contributions by as much as $350 million by 2017. Chief Executive David Melcher told investors earlier this month that Exelis would use the money to fund dividend payments, buybacks and to invest in the company.
Some companies will continue to finance their pension plans. Boeing Co. BA 2.43% says it won't change its strategy and still expects to make a discretionary $750 million payment to its $68.6 billion in pension obligations.
"All you're really doing is deferring payments," said Jonathan Waite, chief actuary at SEI Investments Co., an asset manager. "It has to be put in someday."

I love my job! I get to meet the most fascinating people all day every day. Yesterday, it was a little old lady with a halo of perfectly (and I mean perfectly) coiffed ringlets. She must have spent hours on her hair. Picture young Shirley Temple as an eighty-plus lady…. same hair.
Sharp as a button, she was, in her woven green coat. She looked like she had stepped straight out of a 50's magazine. But this pint-sized dame showed me a thing or two! She'd been sewing all her life and wanted to know if she could buy the fabric instead of having the curtains made up for her. She knew what she wanted and brought samples of her sofa cover in to match the fabric.
Needless to say, she spouted feet and inches to me. My metric 'everything-in-multiples-of-10' brain objected in a scramble of numbers that spun dizzily. Not a problem to the genius I was talking to. She was never taught metric, but converted the measurements for me without skipping a beat! That was when she told me she'd retired 15 years ago from My Job! Yes… the very job I was doing! Back when Montgomery had concessions in the Co-op. I'd like to bet she could still do it and sweep me under the rug too. She turned down the offer to replace me, though, as she had a 'little boy', aged 90, back home she needed to care for.
I can only hope that I have a fraction of this lady's spunk and wits when I'm her age. Grow old gracefully? That's for dull folk!

The convergence of different technology disciplines -- IT, robotics, nanotech, and so forth -- has already begun, and "that's going to change the nature of the society we're in -- in your lifetime," added Clarke, chief counterterrorism adviser on the U.S. National Security Council during portions of the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush administrations and currently chairman of Good Harbor Consulting.
Nanotechnology is "the ultimate machine-human interface," Clarke said, referring to tiny machines that have the potential clean out veins and detect diseases.
Indeed, the human genome couldn't have been decoded without superior computer processing power. Yet, there are still enormous security problems that plague computer software and systems.
Clarke warned that continuing to build more of the global economy on cyberspace as it exists today is dangerous business because "we've still secured very little of cyberspace." Much of the transactions that users engage in are not authenticated and encryption is underutilized.
That's where the Black Hat audience comes in. Clark encouraged the security researchers in attendance to not only continue their work finding software vulnerabilities and reporting them to the vendors -- "because I know a lot of other people out there are going to find them and exploit them," he said -- but also to push for changes in government and industry policy and practices that inhibit security advances.
Clarke appealed to the security pros in attendance to push for advances in IT security because they not only understand the technology, but what's at stake if cyberspace continues on its current insecure path. Added Clarke, "Sure, it's a really hard problem, but a lot could get done that's relatively easy."
Universal standards for writing more secure software, adoption of encryption, and better protection of the Domain Name Servers that underpin the Internet are all measures within the grasp of industry and government today. They would do well to heed Clarke's warnings.

Tire chainsGot snow? Got a forklift that needs some extra traction in the snow? Then we've got the perfect solution for you.
Maintaining traction while using a forklift is critical for the safety of the forklift and its operator. However, forklifts must often function in conditions that do not offer ideal traction. For these situations, from collected snow to inclement weather to rough terrain, our forklift tire chains are the perfect solution.
These chains attach ladder-style around the circumference of the forklift's tires. Our chains, made of solid steel for durability, are sold in sets of two. These sets include not only the chains but also an adjustment tool for proper installation of the chains, and each set is shipped in a bright orange fabric bag for transportation and storage. The steel used in the chain links has a diameter of approximately 5.35mm (0.211 inches), and each link has a length of approximately 46.00mm (1.811 inches).
Our forklift chains are all sold per pair. You'll get a bright orange fabric storage bag, and installation tool, and chains for both axles. Forklift chains are suitable for temporary use, we don't recommend that they are used permanently.
If you run a forklift that has cushion tires, these forklift chains will NOT work. In fact, we have never seen forklift chains for cushion tired forklifts since cushion tired forklifts are not suitable for outdoor use. Cushion tires are made of solid rubber molded to a metal band. They will looking nothing like the tire on your car or tractor. Our tire chains are suitable for pneumatic tires and solid shaped pneumatic tires.
If you have any questions, send us a picture of your tires and we'll help you figure out if we have forklift chains that will work for your forklift. Email Us a picture
These chains are intended for temporary use during conditions that require them. Permanent use of the chains is not recommended

Mansions of Madness Second Edition is a completely cooperative board game of horror and mystery for one to five players that requires place in the identical universe as Eldrich Horror and Elder Sign. Mansions built for the duration of the 20th and 21st centuries typically have specially designed rooms meant to accommodate leisure activities of a distinct type. Beginning with a world-class team of architects, interior designers and hand-picked craftsmen from all over the world, we made The Mansions to surpass expectation at just about every level.
He is maybe greatest identified now for his Beaux-Arts performs including the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Central Branch of the Absolutely free Library of Philadelphia on Logan Square, but also gained a reputation for designing suburban mansions for robber baron" consumers. Orlando's high-finish industry lost some of its luster when Tiger Woods relocated to the Jupiter areas 5 years ago but Central Florida has drawn corporate execs like the former chief executive officer of Wal-Mart H. Lee Scott. I also got Descent journeys in the dark 2nd edition because of the solo and Co op attributes.
Mansions of Madness is a cooperative board game of mystery and investigation inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft. Any individual who has played the negative guy" in a one-vs-numerous game knows the temptation to play the role as more of a kindly DM. Positive, it can be exciting to crush the hopes and dreams of a roomful of friends, but Mansions of Madness was a storytelling game. The Harper Fowlkes Property is one particular of the antebellum mansions Georgia is identified for, now filled with remarkable antiques of the period.
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Philadelphia's most noteworthy architects developed mansions for the city's increasing bourgeois and industrial elites, who coveted urban townhouse mansions positioned close to the solutions, clubs, and institutions they patronized as nicely as estates in the counties outdoors the city. To preview some of the homes by place you can see complete video tours of these Hamptons Homes & Estates for Sale.
Owners of the initially edition of the game have been not forgotten the new game comes with a kit that lets you convert your monsters and investigators into the new ruleset. Truly enjoying the scenarios… Having said that, I feel as even though considering that I've now spent a different one hundred on the two expansion packs that they give us all of the original scenarios from the very first edition and expansions incorporated with this app.
Orlando's chains of waterways and heady residential enclaves have drawn adequate wealthy homebuyers that the area now outranks all but seven U.S. cities for its share of mansions. Most lately, mansions have been constructed with integrated home automation Some other technology-inclined mansions could even have a bowling alley or a server area. Mansions have been often the work of a quirky collector or designer, as in the case of one of the region's a lot more unusual mansions, Fonthill , a concrete castle constructed among 1908 and 1912 by Henry Chapman Mercer (1856-1930) in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.

Mind the gap: Global quality norms, national policy interpretations and local praxis in Timor-Leste
Publication Date
Publication Details
Shah, R. & Quinn, M. (2016). Mind the gap: Global quality norms, national policy interpretations and local praxis in Timor-Leste. Compare,46(3), 394-413. United Kingdom: Routledge. Retrieved from https://doi.org/10.1080/03057925.2014.952930
Increasingly, the imperative for improving educational quality in schooling systems throughout the developing world is harnessed to a particular set of teaching and learning practices, such as child-centred, child-friendly or learner-centred pedagogy (LCP). Such was the case in Timor-Leste where, after independence, LCP was heavily promoted as a panacea for an education system that was perceived to be irrelevant, outmoded and of poor quality. While LCP was readily adopted into policy discourse, less support and attention were given to the substantive incorporation of LCP into teacher practice. When strategically borrowed in such a fashion, the paper suggests little promise remains for LCP to meaningfully improve student learning processes or outcomes in Timorese classrooms.

Generous Faults
It's the thought that counts? Just not the whole thought.
I hope you all had a great (and generous) Christmas!
It's the thought that counts? Just not the whole thought.
I hope you all had a great (and generous) Christmas!
In this strip Gamercat is very "father-like" with Glitch… so CUTE!!! =^_^=
GaMERCaT's face in the 4th panel! XD
GaMERCat's face in 4th panel is really "father-like".
Awww, Glitch in this comic reminds me of my younger cousin. So innocent.
This was great
So cute and no one said it so FIRST!!!! Finally!
Please note, it's finally dying down but you're helping it.
Sorry I've never been able to do it so yeah
so cute and adorable my little sis is like this
All your other posts are so last year (hah puns)
THas terrible dude….
That would take mine
This level of kawaii cannot be digested.
I was waiting for the punchline to be related to things trees like.. such as decaying organic matter, including animal waste.
This will be Glitch's expression when he learns what they actually did to trees.
You KNOW YOU WANT TO.
I just love sweet's face in the 5th panel.
If you get a fake tree, you can just say that it's hibernating.
My question is how did Glitch and Sweet get those clothes
I think its obvious…they got them as presents.
Or their owners forced them into it… Either way is great of course! ^-^
Does the author even read through all the comments? Or just the ones that look helpful? Someone please enlighten me on how that works.
too bad i don't celebrate Christmas
Ah. . so innocent. Just wait till he finds out. . . .
I hope he never finds just for the sake of his innocence's. Merry Christmas glich
Merry Glitchmas!
Every father. I know this when I'm not even one.
When's the last time you checked your site?
Life Hack:
You can get a slightly smaller Christmas Tree that's in a pot and plantable.
I dunno if anyone's even gonna see this, but it's 7:10 AM central time and the site hasn't updated. This is mostly a nitpick on my part, and I don't know if this is intentional or an oversight or whatever. I don't necessarily mean this as any sort of criticism, I'm just noting it because it's a difference from the past two weeks's schedules (as far as I know).
Somehow I doubt this comment will ever be seen though…
If you go to tapastic you'll see that gamer at is on a hiatus
Okay, thank you. I was just confused.
Wow, now that I actually looked at the Taptastic post, I feel really bad for mentioning this. This actually makes a lot of sense.
Great, now I feel like a jerk, but it's self-inflicted at least. Not anyone else's fault.
I'm definitely going insane.
If oyu are still reading this, congratulations! You read the whole comment! (yay!)
*you. Srry fer mai speling mistak
Where's the next comic???
Is this comic ongoing?
yes it's just taking longer than usualR
Why tho……………
When will the hiatus be over?
Wot in box for tree? Very curious
What was in the box?
Pls do glitch reunited with his mom for the next one!! Thx?
Can I have the paused thing on a t-shirt?
I am at walmart
Glitch is so full of hope
And that's why Glitch is my favorite.
Not that I dislike any of them, but he's my favorite.

The Barrett-Jackson collector car auction is back in Palm Beach County — if you drive by the South Florida Fairgrounds this weekend, you'll see the peaks of its signature white tents — with the fun kicking off Friday and wrapping up Sunday.
The auction touts itself as "The World's Greatest Collector Car Auction," and it certainly is a sight to see. Check out Carlos Frias' post on the top five cars to watch for this year (including Herbie, the Love Bug!).
