Soap Lake grants discount for mineral water use until privatization
Businesses using Soap Lake mineral water were granted a temporary 50 percent reduction in rates through the winter months. The council and hotel-spa owners are negotiating an agreement that would privatize Soap Lake’s mineral water delivery system, in effect giving commercial users the right to operate and maintain the system. “This is to buy them some time until then,” Mayor Raymond Gravelle said at the Wednesday night council meeting.

Muslim Brotherhood Attacks another Historic Church
As a prelude to the trial of former Egyptian President Muhammed Morsi, deposed this summer in a popular revolt, the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood have terrorized Christians in every possible way. The Muslims Brotherhood blames Egypt's Copts for complicity in Morsi's toppling, and continue to murder rape, burn and plunder in an ongoing campaign of religious terror.
Bring Him Home For Christmas: Free Wrongly Imprisoned Pastor in Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan portrays itself as a moderate country; however, in May, 2013, Pastor Bakhytzhan Kashkumbayev (“Pastor B.K.”) was arrested on false charges. Ultimately, he was arrested for his Christian faith. While in prison, Soviet-era tactics such as physical punishment and mental torture were used to wear him down. He has even been denied medical treatment for his illnesses, and at the age of 67 is in poor physical condition. There was a ray of hope on October 8, when he was released from prison to house arrest, but mere minutes after he exited the prison he was re-arrested, this time with an even more dangerous (false) charge of “extremism.”

Median Wage Hovering Near 15-Year Low
The median wage last year was $27,519 — meaning half of Americans made more than that, and half made less. That’s only a few bucks different from the median wage in 2011 and the lowest since 1998, when that figure was $26,984 (in 2012 dollars), Al Jazeera America’s David Cay Johnston says. The calculation includes only pay, not benefits or pensions. Meanwhile, the average wage improved last year to $42,498 — pulled up by vastly improved wages at the top, Johnston says. The number of workers making at least $5 million grew nearly 27 percent from 2011 to 2012. Two-thirds of American workers made less than the average wage in 2012.
