| Subject: South Carolina and Huckabee From a South Carolinian [ Rich ...
As a South Carolinian (but a Democrat) I'd be amazed if Huckabee wins. Huckabee's economic populism just doesn't win there. Pat Buchanan (after his New Hampshire) win thought he'd win down here too on this SoCon/Class Warfare stuff but he didn't. Both Mark Sanford and Jim DeMint pretty much beat Social Conservatives in their respective primaries for Governor and Senator. South Carolinians GOPers have saved your party from the [bad] decisions of New Hampshire and Iowa time and time again. I expect nothing less than for them to do it again. 01/04 04:05 PM .
Shoring up retirement path
Like many couples in their 50s, Wanda and Donald McCoy are worried about retirement.
And perhaps with good reason: They haven't managed to save much over the years.
They both are planning to work until age 70, but Donald's job as a truck driver can be demanding. And Wanda, as a breast cancer survivor, knows that health-care surprises happen all the time.

Nature, Nurture Play Role in Mental Ills -Studies
Variations in a gene helped shield adults who had endured child abuse from becoming depressed as adults, U.S. researchers said on Monday in a study that helps explain how nature and nurture give rise to mental illness. And a British team has found that pregnant women who have a major emotional loss in the early months of pregnancy give birth to babies with a higher risk of schizophrenia. The studies, published in the Archives of General Psychiatry, add to a growing understanding of how genetics and environmental distress sometimes act together to produce mental illness. "It is not a question of genes versus environment. It is a question of how genes interact with whatever the environmental factors might be. And that is probably true of all of the disorders that we call mental illness," said Dr.
Cities fight glut of vacant houses
It scares people," said Joyce Porozynski, a block watch member who has lived in the neighborhood most of her life. "Many people have given up."
Across the street from Charles Gliha's cozy 120-year-old home stand three vacant houses, including one with the first-floor windows broken out. Another is being repaired, and a sign in the window warns would-be thieves that there are no copper pipes inside.
Gliha, a woodworker, has not given up hope and has no plans to leave the home where he grew up.
"People are the critical resource and as long as we have good people like Joyce, we'll be fine," he said. "We may be in better shape in 20 years than the suburbs because we've got a culture in this neighborhood that outer ring suburbs don't."
Cleveland, among cities hardest hit by the foreclosure crisis, is modeling its land bank after a program in Genesee County, Mich., home to Flint, which made tax delinquent properties available for redevelopment.

An ability to anticipate the future is perhaps the single most important skill that a manager or an investor can possess (which is kinda like saying that an ability to know the final score is the single most important skill required of a gambler). So where do you go to learn about the future? In the days of old, you might have visited a fortune teller and, for a princely sum, learned that something bad is going to happen to someone you know somewhere down the line. These days, you go to Harvard Business School when you want to see what the future has in store. With this in mind, Fool co-founder David Gardner sat down with Harvard's Clayton Christensen, a professor and consultant who uses innovation to predict business growth and industry change. When being disruptive is a good thing ...
