SC Faithful Still Seeking GOP Candidate
COLUMBIA, S.C. The faithful in South Carolina are still looking for the Republican presidential candidate who is the answer to their prayers. Churchgoers on Sunday at the Redemption World Outreach Center in Greenville to those who attended services at the First Baptist Church in Columbia gave high marks to the four GOP candidates who have spent the most time in the state _ Sen. John McCain of Arizona, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson. Huckabee, an ordained Baptist minister, would seem like a lock for South Carolina's religious voters. The former Arkansas governor, who talks openly about his faith and its tenets, won the Iowa caucuses based on strong support from evangelicals _ eight of 10 who described themselves as evangelical Christians backed Huckabee, according to an Associated Press entrance poll in Iowa.
Tuberculin Purifed Protein Derivative (PPD)
Tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) is an extract of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that cause tuberculosis in humans. It is used to test if a person has been exposed to tuberculin protein, either from a previous tuberculosis vaccination, or from environmental exposure. When the body is exposed to foreign organisms, such as bacteria and viruses, the immune system produces antibodies against them. Antibodies help the body recognise and kill the foreign organisms. The antibodies remain in the body to help protect the body against future infections with the same organism. This is known as active immunity. Tuberculin is injected under the skin to test if a person already has antibodies to the tuberculosis bacterium. The tuberculin will be injected under the skin of the forearm, where it forms a pale wheal a few millimetres in diameter.

Good Jobs Are Where the Money Is
The peak income year for the bottom 90 percent of Americans was way back in 1973 - when the average income per taxpayer (adjusted for inflation) was $33,001. That is nearly $4,000 higher than the average in 2005. It's incredible but true: 90 percent of the population missed out on the income gains during that long period. Mr. Johnston does not mince words: "The pattern here is clear. The rich are getting fabulously richer, the vast majority are somewhat worse off, and the bottom half - for all practical purposes, the poor - are being savaged by our current economic policies." His words are echoed in a proposed stimulus plan currently offered by the Economic Policy Institute in Washington. (The plan is available on its Web site, epi.org.) Stressing that any stimulus package should be "fair," the authors of the institute's proposal wrote: "The distribution of wages, income and wealth in the United States has become vastly more unequal over the last 30 years.
