It is known as the First Federated Church because it's actually the First Congregational Church and the Second Presbyterian Church combined.

Event Coordinator Ralph Dalton said the milestone says a lot about its membership. "Well I just think it's a real highlight to the church. It's something everybody should look forward to because we've had 75 years working together here as two churches, functioning as one."
The church has about 850 members.

Britney Spears' Relationship On The Rocks? Couple 'Call Off Winter Wedding'
Insiders say the 'romantic spark' has faded...
Loading the player ...
Britney Spears and fiance Jason Trawick may be all set to walk down the aisle, but it WON'T be in winter as previously planned, with the pair 'calling off' the winter wedding, it's been reported.
A source claims the couple have decided to push back their big day because of 'incessant arguments'. Oo-er! The insider also adds that the 'romantic spark has faded'.
"Britney and Jason had planned to get married at the end of December, but they have been fighting non-stop so the wedding has now been called off. They are telling their friends it's being postponed, but they will probably never make it down the aisle," a source told Radar Online.
"Britney doesn't think Jason is any fun and resents him because he acts more like a second father than a romantic partner, or equal. They have been sleeping in separate bedrooms for a very long time. Jason feels like he is Britney's babysitter and it's pretty much just a business arrangement at this point. He does love Britney and the boys, but he just can't see himself spending the rest of his life with her."
Britney's parents, Jamie and Lynne, are said to be 'absolutely devastated' that the wedding has been called off. The X Factor judge's father is apparently especially disappointed because he feels Jason has been leading his daughter on.
"Lynne is very close to Jason and views him as one of her children. Meanwhile, Jamie feels that Jason shouldn't have proposed to Britney if his heart wasn't in it, and feels a little betrayed. It doesn't help matters that both Jamie and Jason are co-conservators of Britney. The whole situation is just sad for everyone," the source added.
Is it a case of another celeb romance bites the dust? We hope not!

Modern medical terms are still named after Nazi doctors. Can we change it?
In 1977, a group of doctors began a campaign to change the name of an?inflammatory arthritis after discovering it was named after a Nazi doctor who planned and performed gruesome forced human experimentation that killed thousands. In one of these experiments, for example, Hans Conrad Julius Reiter inoculated Buchenwald concentration camp inmates with the microbe causing typhus, resulting in the deaths of over 250 people. The inflammatory arthritis then known as ?Reiter?s syndrome,? the group of doctors suggested, should change its name to ?reactive arthritis.?
That was in 1977. In 2000, Dr. Daniel J. Wallace and Dr. Michael Weisman published a paper rekindling old requests to remove Reiter?s name from the syndrome. Shortly after, the patient advocacy group Spondylitis Association of America voted to approve the name change. In 2003, a group of rheumatology journal editors decided against continued use of the eponym in their journals. The official retraction from the doctors who originally proposed the eponym came in 2009.
Sadly, the story is still not over.
The campaign to remove Reiter?s name should not actually have been morally ambiguous. Medical eponyms are meant to honor individuals who contributed to the field. Torture and murder are not things we wish to honor. After the war, a profound ethical debate sprung from the question of what to do with discoveries that came about from forced experimentation on human beings without their consent. But the question of the medical eponym does not fall into that category. Up for debate was not whether we should keep or discard useful medical information obtained through grossly immoral means. All medical information discovered would still be known. All that was asked is that the result was not named to reward a criminal. As the physicians who wrote the retraction summarized their reasoning:
?Medicine is a moral enterprise. Physicians serve to promote the welfare of their patients. Hans Reiter was a Nazi war criminal responsible for heinous atrocities that violated the precepts of humanity, ethics, and professionalism. We see no acceptable rationale to preserve any professional memory of Reiter within our medical culture, except as a symbol of what our societal values obligate us to reject.?
The difficult part, it turned out, was not making the moral call but implementing it. The New York Times reported on the Reiter scandal in 2000, writing: ?The precise steps needed to get rid of an eponym are unclear and vary with who uses them.? A 2005 analysis found that medical journal use of the eponym without mentioning its disfavored used dropped from 57% in 1998 to 34% in 2003. One interpretation is that these figures are encouraging; use of the eponym, after all, is decreasing. But considering that the campaign to change the name began in 1977, is a less than 50% drop over the first twenty years really such tremendous progress? Moreover, the study showed that change in the US was particularly slow, with US authors more likely to use the eponym than authors in Europe.
Since then, other medical eponyms tied to Nazi crimes have surfaced. The ?Clara cell,? a type of cell lining the airways to the lungs, was named after Max Clara, an ?active and outspoken Nazi??who made his discovery using tissues from murdered Third Reich victims. Then there is Friedrich Wegner of the vessel disease ?Wegener?s granulomatosis?: Wegener joined the brownshirts eight months before Hitler seized power, joined the Nazi party in 1933, worked in ?close proximity to the genocide machinery in Lodz,? and was wanted as a war criminal.
As a medical student in 2012, here is what I have learned. I have heard ?reactive arthritis,? but I have also learned about ?Reiter?s syndrome.? I have learned about the Clara cell, without any qualification of its tainted name. I have learned about Wegener?s granulomatosis: this one was given with a qualification of its tainted history, but then in group discussion, the eponym was the norm. Immediately after doctors used it, it stuck with the students.
What this shows is that even an official retraction is not enough to change terminology that is deeply engrained. First impressions set the tone. Changing language takes more than official notification. It takes proactive, universal involvement. It takes a decision, and sticking to it. It takes a community, setting an example.
So, here is my humble request to doctors: please introduce these terms without their Nazi affiliations. If a tainted term has had another one substituted, please, just use the newer term. You can mention its former name and reasons for discontinued use, so that students may still recognize it if others refer to it. But from there after, make the newer term the norm. The norms of language follow from how terms are introduced.
Hans Reiter, responsible for the torture and murder of thousands of innocent people, was able to work and enjoy life until the age of 88. His crimes against humankind can never be erased. The least we can do is erase any praise of him and others like him. Saying their actions were deeply antithetical to the values of modern medicine is an understatement.
It takes a community to shape language. For the victims, and to make a statement against human rights abuses, I hope we can make it happen.

Union enforcement during Hurricane recovery raises questions
by Sheryll Poe, Free Enterprise
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Power company workers from Decatur Utilities drove hours from Alabama to lend a hand in New Jersey restoring electricity to the thousands who desperately needed it, only to be told by the local power company workers union they were not welcome unless they signed a union agreement.
Officials from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers presented the six-man, four-vehicle volunteer crew with documents that ?required our folks to affiliate with the union,? Ray Hardin, general manager of Decatur, told FOX Business. ?That was something that we could not agree to. It was our understanding and still is that it was a requirement for us to work in that area.?
The crew attempted to look for work in other areas but because a resolution could not be reached, they made the decision late Thursday night to return home.
IBEW officials denied that any of their locals would ever do such a thing, but The Daily Caller has obtained a two-page Oct. 29 contract sent by the IBEW local 1049 to Florida electric utilities before its workers would be permitted to help reconnect power to Long Island communities. The ?Letter of Assent? demanded 11 separate financial commitments, including union dues and benefit contributions from the Florida utility companies.
