COLUMBIA, SC Gov. Henry McMaster is siding with developers and Myrtle Beach area lawmakers in supporting a bill he says will prevent unnecessary delays in construction projects, despite criticism that the measure could hurt the environment.
The bill, which is still being debated in the Legislature, limits the amount of time work could be stopped on a development project while state environmental permits are being challenged in court. It could allow development that is under challenge to occur before a state administrative law court case is resolved.
McMaster said the bill limits to three months the amount of time a project could be stopped. But many cases take longer than that. Current state law prevents construction of many projects approved by state regulators until a permit dispute is resolved in Administrative Law Court.
McMaster, who has been praised in the past for taking stances in favor of the environment, said legal disputes are hurting progress in South Carolina.
"Currently, court challenges can automatically stop work in important construction projects for unnecessarily long periods of time," McMaster said in a prepared statement. "Under this bill, the time period for which a court may issue an 'automatic stay' is limited to a reasonable and practical 90 days. Lengthy delays and uncertainty inhibit economic growth. Sound business decisions and strong environmental policies will allow our state to prosper.
"I applaud the work of the Horry and Georgetown legislators and the other leaders for their diligent work on this bill and look forward to signing it into law soon.''
Supporters of the bill, including Horry Republican senators Luke Rankin and Greg Hembree, were not immediately available. Both are backing a new road from Conway to Myrtle Beach that they say has been beset with unnecessary delays.
But state Rep. James Smith, a Columbia Democrat and potential candidate for governor, said McMaster's support for the bill is a bad idea. Smith said the bill curtails citizens' rights. The measure has passed the Senate and Smith said he'll fight the legislation when it reaches the House floor.
"This has put a thumb down on the scale in favor of big industry and against the average South Carolinian,'' Smith said. "It is surprising and disappointing, but another decision in a line of several decisions that have proven disappointing by this governor.''
Environmentalists also blasted the decision, saying the bill could allow for construction of landfills or development projects that average citizens don't want in their neighborhoods.
Sierra club lawyer Bob Guild and John Tynan, director of the Conservation Voters of South Carolina, said McMaster had a good record on the environment when he served as attorney general, but Thursday's announcement runs counter to that.
"There has been a lot of rhetoric around this bill and a lot of it has been framed in economic development terms, but ultimately, this is about starting construction before you have your permits,'' Tynan said.
Guild said McMaster's position on the bill is part of a war on environmental regulations that started with the election of President Donald Trump, whom McMaster supported. At least three bills are now pending in the legislature that would limit citizens' rights to challenge the state or major corporations over environmental issues, he said. Among those is a bill to limit challenges to mega chicken farms, Guild said.
Amelia Thompson, an attorney for the non-profit South Carolina Environmental Law Project, said the legislation McMaster supports "is not good for people or the environment.'' Law project director Amy Armstrong said she thinks Horry County officials want the bill approved to help them with future roads project, such as the proposed Interstate 73.
The legislation follows a bitter dispute in Horry County over construction of a new road along the edge of a state nature preserve that is filled with wetlands and inhabited by black bears. Myrtle Beach area legislators, among the chief supports of the bill, have been pushing for the road to be built to ease traffic congestion in the tourist clogged resort.
But the road has been hung up in legal disputes with Thompson's organization over its environmental impact. Under pressure from Horry County lawmakers, the S.C. Department of Natural Resources backed away from a plan to protect bears from being hit by cars by installing culverts for them to pass through. Horry County officials fought the bear passages, saying they were too expensive.

Feature: Linda McCartney Foods 2
Hey everyone. Another one of my dishes has been chosen as a "weekly favourite" in the Linda McCartney Food Competition! My "Onion, Goats Cheese and Red Pepper Tart" (recipe on the site) has been chosen, and i'd love it if you could check the site out and show your support again (:
All of this is a good sign, because at the end of January/ beginning of February they choose 3 finalists (based on the weekly favourites). Those finalists win a new Baumatic cooker, and then the public vote for the winner (who wins the expensive dining table and the linda McCartney ready meal 'with your name on it'). I figure if i get a few recipes in on these weekly favourites, i got a fairly good chance of at least being one of the three finalists.
If you want to vote for my recipe, you just click on the "Rate This Dish" button at the top of the recipe, thank'yall! Mel Wants To Win!!

Singing Bird

Category: Fiction / General

Rating: 10/10 (Ratings explained)
Reviewer: Harriet Klausner
Singing Bird
Roisin McAuley
Morrow, Dec 2004, $24.95, 312 pp.
Twenty-seven years have passed since Lena and Jack Molloy adopted Mary, who has become a famous opera singer. Sister Monica of Saint Joseph's Home calls out of nowhere insisting she is tying up loose ends before retiring and just wanted to check up on her "babies". Lena's stomach pinches as she has not heard from the nun since the adoption, but apparently the call was innocent.
With Jack on a business trip and Mary in Dublin for a performance, Lena decides to travel from California to West Ireland where they adopted their child. She always regretted not knowing her own biological parents having been adopted herself and rationalizes the trek by convincing herself she will be doing Mary a favor. With her friend Alma accompanying her, Lena begins making inquiries into who were Mary's parents, but her fist inclination challenges her deep rooted Catholic beliefs while further evidence confronts her moral family values. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
SINGING BIRD is an interesting social drama that leaves the audience pondering difficult ethics questions that run the gamut of some of the deep social issues facing society today. Through her heroine, Roisin McAuley raises questions about the sexual promiscuity of priests and nuns, family values, truth, and adoption. Though solutions seem intended to fit book size so are too straightforward for the complex questions raised, readers will obtain a deep character study that entertains yet challenges the audience.

Welcome Refugees Colchester is an umbrella organisation of faith groups, student societies and civic bodies concerned about human rights. Our overall aim is to help refugees settle in our community.
To further this aim we plan to:
Give a warm welcome to the five Syrian refugee families who will arrive before Christmas and do what we can to help them integrate into Colchester life. This would be over and above the official help. We wish to give a helping hand as good neighbours.
Based on the success of this initial venture, we would hope this would encourage and enable the Borough Council to welcome at least 50 more refugee families.
To further this aim we want to raise awareness and acceptance within the wider Colchester community, in the form of publicity and events. We've already held one very successful Refugees :Facts and Fictions evening
Such a wide civic grouping will help to expand our efforts in helping refugees abroad.
The Government is committed to welcoming 20,000 Syrian Refugees within the next five years. Each county has been asked to take a share of refugees.
The Borough of Colchester in Essex has already successfully welcomed the Afghan interpreters who aided British troops. The existing facilities for resettling refugees are outstanding and we are delighted to be working with Colchester Borough Council on our project to welcome refugees to this area.
Welcome Refugees Colchester hope that Colchester can lead the way in the provision of care for refugees, in keeping with its long and proud history of supporting displaced groups following political and religious persecutions.
Please find below a video we made several weeks ago to explain our pledge system.

Founded in 1897 by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Montpellier, the school has succeeded in continually refining its specialized instruction in management sciences over the years in order to adapt its programmes in changing local and global economic environments.In order to respond effectively to an increasingly interconnected global community, MBS has adopted the core values of diversity, openness and global responsibility, all inspired by the school's mission: "to train, through our higher education programs, managers that are strong in their diversity, aware of their global responsibility in carrying out their missions, and able to adapt to changes in local, national and international environments." (By 'global', we understand societal, economic and environmental responsibility).
MBS pursues active research and its research centre promotes a spirit of collegial research, facilities research-based teaching, and fosters the valorization of research for practice and teaching. Our research activities cover all traditional themes of management science.Over the last decade, MBS has developed strategic alliances to other management science research centres in France.
The historical cooperation with and contribution of MBS to the emergence of the Montpellier research cluster resulted in the creation of Montpellier Research in Management (MRM).
MRM is an example of cooperation between universities and between universities and business schools in France. This research centre is today one of France's largest in Management Science, (including more than 150 researchers and 70 PhD students).The quality of the school's strategy and results is internationally recognized. The following distinctions attest to the school's excellent international reputation: its triple international accreditation (AACSB, AMBA, EFMD/EPAS); its place among the TOP 50 best Master in Management programmes in the world; its ranking among the TOP 80 European Business Schools in 2013 according to the Financial Times; and its place in the national French rankings.About MontpellierThe city of Montpellier, capital of the Hérault department, is located in Southern France. It was built 10 centuries ago and was the second largest city in France and an important economic and cultural capital. Nowadays, Montpellier is one of the largest and fastest growing cities in France. A third of its population are students from three universities and higher education institutions. Montpellier is the third largest French city located on the Mediterranean coast after Marseille and Nice.

From Jose Lambiet's Gossip Extra: Ex-Lehman Brothers boss Richard Fuld, who nearly collapsed the U.S. economy in 2008 by backing millions of subprime mortgages and consumer loans given to folks who couldn't pay back, just obtained a mortgage.
Fuld, 69, and his wife Kathleen, received $5 million from First Republic Bank, according to Martin County property records.
The couple used their stunning $14 million-beachfront property at 265 South Beach Road in Jupiter Island as collateral.

G Finesse Swivel Shot Drop Shot Designed by Shin Fukae.
The original G Finesse Swivel Shot changed the game and professional anglers were eager to play. Some, like Shin Fukae, recognized the G Finesse advantage but didn't want to break from tradition entirely by using the integrated octopus hook. They already had their drop shot rigs dialed to perfection. So, we designed the new G Finesse Swivel Shot Drop Shot to accept traditional drop shot hooks with a true swivel connection. No unreliable wire loops like other brands. Additional features include TGW (Tournament Grade Wire,) and both the hook and swivel system boast the benefits of a Nano Smooth Coat finish. Available in sizes 2, 1, 1/0 and 2/0. Drop the old-school rigs and try the Swivel Shot Drop Shot inspired by Angler of the Year winner, Shin Fukae.

Are ghosts and spirits real? The answer really depends on your view of the world. When we're presented with so-called "evidence" of ghostly apparitions, it so often turns out to be fake or a trick of the light. That's why this photo taken at the scene of a deadly crash in Kentucky is really making waves.
Saul Vazquez was stuck in traffic near Stanton, Kentucky, when a fatal motorcycle accident occurred in the opposite lane. As he passed the scene of the accident, Vazquez took a photo. In it, you can clearly make out a white, foggy shape floating above the scene. Some people online are arguing that it looks an awful lot like a human. Could it be the victim's spirit leaving his body?
What do you think?
(via Week In Weird)
While I will admit that it's a freaky photo, I still don't think it's enough evidence to say whether or not ghosts exist.

At this point, I'm hardly the first to add my voice to the dialogue started by this week's election — in fact, it feels like I might be one of the last. I decided to take a beat to absorb the weight of the last two days before making any sort of bigger statement. I've laid low on social media, alternating between trying to stay away from it entirely and then obsessively scrolling through my feeds trying to make sense of every post, relate to every opinion. I've spent the last two nights – each emotional in a very different way — surrounded by friends who feel like family, drinking wine, crying, and having intense conversations about what it means to be in our mid-twenties in these crazy times. We talked until it felt like we had genuinely stepped back and looked at things from every angle. My brain hurts from spending so much of the last two days thinking.
Yesterday was the first day in almost two months that I've HATED working from home and spending so much time alone. All of the news from late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning was so raw. I stayed up all night to watch the election coverage, so when I woke up yesterday morning (after just an hour or two of sleep), I initially decided that I needed a total break from the media. The problem is that I was by myself and felt incredibly disconnected in the midst of such an historic moment. It seemed like I had no choice but to turn on the news again, just to check back into humanity. As soon as I did, I couldn't turn it off.
I know I'm not the only one who feels like there's been a bizarre shift in time and space. Life here in my sweet little Brooklyn feels like it's moving in slow motion. Everything just seems surreal, and I'm comforted by the fact that so many others also aren't quite ready to be OK just yet.
This is not a space where I want to get too deep about ideology and political affiliation. I have too much respect for everyone's freedom of opinion for that, and I think that one of the biggest lessons of these last two days for all of us is that sometimes, what happens in "politics" has absolutely nothing to do with being a Democrat or a Republican. Some of the people I care about most in this world are Republicans. While it's never fun to be on the losing end of something, under other circumstances, it would have been a lot easier for me — and many other people, I'm sure — to accept the results of this election and move on.
All that I really want to say is this:
What upsets and worries me about recent events is the way it has empowered hatred and negativity in our world. Do I think that every person who voted for Donald Trump is extreme or hateful or negative? No. Although there may be plenty of more moderate conservatives out there who voted for Trump simply to align with their party, I think the real problem here is the ugliness that his campaign has brought to light, and the way it seems like that ugliness is now somehow acceptable because he has been elected our president. Hate begets hate, and my greatest fear is that this week's results have changed the course of history well beyond what happens in the White House. I feel that the more extreme voices of sexism, misogyny, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, and more now have a stronger platform because their candidate has won. This has absolutely nothing to do with your "typical" Republican, but I do think that all of us — no matter how liberal or conservative, moderate or extreme we are — will now have to bear witness to the inevitable shift in the mood of this country. It has less to do with Donald Trump and more to do with what his candidacy, campaign, and now election have represented.
I'm not out there in the streets of New York City protesting. The way I see it, demonstrations happening right now are against the election itself, and that's not what I have a problem with. We all had the opportunity to make our voices heard on Tuesday, and while I am disappointed that so many others misunderstood what I believed so clearly to be hateful rhetoric, the decision has been made and we all do have to learn to put one foot in front of the other for the time being. I respect what Hillary Clinton said yesterday about having an open mind, and even though I'm still working my way through my feelings about all of this, I hope I can get there eventually. If the time does come when predictions about extreme policy changes affecting our rights and equality should come to fruition, however, you can bet that my protesting voice will get a whole lot louder. I will stand up for what I believe in.
As challenging as all of this has been to understand, I know a few things to be true this week: I am unfailingly proud of my convictions, and of the way I express them. I am proud to be a free-thinking American who is curious abut my country and the people who wish to lead it. I am proud to be a WOMAN, especially within a community of equally strong, spirited women currently showing so much support for one another. I am proud of the people who I surround myself with, who challenge me and question me and comfort me and feel things as deeply as I do. The messages out there right now about unification and coming together in love are well-taken, but hard to absorb. I do think that our collective nation will have regrets about what's happened, but I also KNOW that there are massive forces out there of respect, kindness, and progress. I only hope that as our county negotiates our way toward positive progress, the voices of hatred and exclusion lose power and we somehow keep each other feeling safe and valued.

Grey's Anatomy fans might be wondering which team Dr. Erica Hahn bats for, but in real life, actress Brooke Smith is into girls—adopting one, that is.
Smith, 40, and her cinematographer husband, Steve Lubensky, have adopted a baby girl from Ethiopia. She is the couple's second daughter; big sister Fanny is 5 years old.
The Silence of the Lambs star and her husband had traveled to Africa on several occasions, including filming a documentary in Zimbabwe. Back in October, Smith told People magazine that they were considering adoption.
The couple has been married since 1999.

Reviews: 1
Honestly, they truly are. I have needed to use them in an emergency quite a few times over the last few years. BEtween my house and my car, I am always either losing a key or locking myself out. They always come right out and help me out and are the cheapest in the area. Thanks to everyone for a great service at a great price.
Posted: 4/23/2012 • Link to this review
I have used other locksmiths in the past but I will only use Xpress Services in the future. They have fast friendly service and the prices are great! Highly recommend!
Posted: 4/03/2012 • Link to this review
Xpress Services in Bloomington is a great locksmith company that I recently came across and now use at all my properties. They are very knowledgeable and stand behind their work. All of my residents have been happy with the work and I'm loving the prices.
Posted: 9/13/2011 • Link to this review
I locked myself out of my car and they responded promptly and got me in. I have visited the store many times since for keys to be made and eventually bought a safe from them for my home which was brought over and installed by the great workers. Walking into their store is a pleasure and the people working there are very friendly, courteous and helpful. I would go no other place but here and recommend it highly.

Despite increasing alarm about cyberattacks in government, many states are still struggling to boost spending on basic cybersecurity programs. Colorado's chief information security officer says it's possible to turn things around quickly, though.
The state hired Debbi Blyth as CISO in 2014, and with support from leadership at Colorado's Office of Information Technology (OIT) she helped transform the state's bare-bones cybersecurity budget into a $9.6 million threat detection and prevention program with tools spread across departments.
She did this by tackling one of the state's key challenges: Colorado's cybersecurity budget at the time only amounted to $6,000 — a figure that reflected hesitancy by state leaders to invest in a fairly uncharted category of infrastructure. Even if they understood the need to fix the government's weaknesses, they were undecided on where to start.
Like many governments today, Colorado had not articulated a specific strategy for cybersecurity. It didn't have concrete goals or the tools to track progress. Blyth, who had been hired away from the outsourcing company Teletech, saw these gaps and went to work on a blueprint.
"Having a cyber security plan in place and approved by the leadership within any organization is really critical for any entity to make any cybersecurity improvement whatsoever," Blyth said.
Planning means progress
A 2016 survey of state CISOs by Deloitte and the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) showed that while 80 percent of respondents point to insufficient funding as the biggest barrier for cybersecurity, there is a direct correlation between low budgets and the absence of an approved strategy. States that have a cybersecurity strategy that is approved by their administrations demonstrated a significantly higher probability to have more full-time cybersecurity staff, higher skilled workers and yearly budget increases.
Blyth said her experience mirrored those findings. Instead of conjuring up her own strategy, submitting it to the legislature and praying it earned approvals, Blyth took to the challenge by leveraging inside and outside expertise. She turned to Colorado's information security advisory board in 2015 , seeking input from the board's diverse makeup of 32 government, academic and private sector cybersecurity experts. The intent was to refresh Secure Colorado, the state's security strategy, with an updated action plan that was worthy enough to merit greater investment. Blyth's predecessor Jonathan Trull had shared this vision when he and the advisory board organized Secure Colorado in 2012.
The effort produced a seismic shift in how Colorado handles its digital security and set a new precedent in funding, with appropriations exponentially enhanced for the 2016 to 2018 budget.
"It was just so helpful to be able to vet the program through that group of well-esteemed individuals so that when I took my strategy proposal to the legislature, and the joint budget committee, I could say, 'Here's my budget request, here is the specific plan, and here's what I intend to do with with it,'" Blyth said. "These advisory board members helped us to review the strategy, promote it to lawmakers, and they gave independent credence to it."
The budget for cybersecurity is now at 3 percent of the state's total IT spending, at $350 million, and has placed the Colorado cybersecurity budget within the top 20 percent of states in terms of spending. Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper fully endorses the measures and has offered more support as the state constructs a a National Cybersecurity Center (NCC) in Colorado Springs, which will serve as a hub for cybersecurity education and response.
Hitting targets
More impressive than funding tactics or initiatives are the outcomes that Colorado has achieved with its new resources. Blyth said that the state has lowered its digital risk index — an industry assessment rating by McAfee software — it went down 48 percent in just two years to a McAfee Risk Score of 11. The lower the Risk Score the better. The index measures the threat potential based on the overall levels cybersecurity for system configurations, security controls, data assets and other indicators of vulnerability. Colorado's score is better than the ratings of some banks — 20 is considered a desired goal in the financial sector.
In the last two years, Colorado has also been able to increase its deployment of cybersecurity tools to departments, coverage from 70 percent of its systems, software and devices to 98 percent. On average, Colorado defends itself from 8.4 million security incidents per day.
Speaking about some of this technology, Colorado Chief Technology Officer David McCurdy said the strategy and tools have have reshaped digital protection.
"The state made a pretty big investment and with Secure Colorado to go to modern, more intelligent firewalls. So we're looking for traffic, trends, we learning from other partners and other customers and applying them in real time to our network." McCurdy said.
In 2017, Blyth and McCurdy said cybersecurity teams are hoping to bring their risk index score under 10 percent while they continue to monitor progress in agencies with quarterly report cards detailing gaps and next improvements. The targeted cybersecurity budget is expected to be 5 percent to 7 percent of the state's total IT spending. To those in other states looking to replicate results, McCurdy also advised to start small and then go bigger.
"Secure Colorado has always been intended as a long-term plan and it helped that we didn't ask for all the money up front. What we did was ask for funding in the areas of the highest need, then showed the legislature what we could do." McCurdy said. "I think they liked what they saw."
