Alabama expects to receive approximately $3 billion in federal stimulus funds. Alabama state agencies, local governments, nonprofits, businesses, and schools will have the opportunity to compete for billions more in competitive grants and loans.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) created a stimulus package contains more than $400 billion in spending measures, including substantial amounts for education, workforce development, energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives, health care, social services, science, technology, law enforcement, and public and private infrastructure. In addition, the package contains more than $300 billion in tax cuts and tax incentives that provide substantial benefits for individuals, businesses, and governments.

How Program Will Be Administered and Funds Expended:
This grant will be administered by the Department of Public Health, Bureau of Professional and Support Services and the Bureau of Health Promotion and Chronic Disease. Funds will be utilized to hire staff, provide training, supplies, and for travel costs.
ADPH proposes a statewide policy to address nutritional quality of foods in vending machines in all state agencies and will partner with the State Department of Education to create quality physical education policy guidelines. Secondly, ADPH will work to secure a statewide smoke-free policy. Thirdly, ADPH will expand the Quitline services to online users.
Fund Expended:
ADPH will administer this program using no contracts/contractors. The funds will be used for programmatic expenses; salary, supplies, travel, and training.
To enhance laboratory and epidemiologic surveillance for meningococcal disease, ADPH will ensure specimens from cases with meningococcal disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis are tested to identify serogroup. Specimens will be sent to the CDC for verification of serogroup. Furthermore, to evaluate the effectiveness of a single dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine against meningococcal disease caused by serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 in adolescents aged 11-23 years, all cases of N. meningitidis will be invited to enroll in a CDC-designed case-control study, along with controls, matched on age and geographic location, per case.
Enhanced surveillance for Haemophilus influenza and serotyping of isolates are critical to determining the impact of the recommendation to defer the booster dose in response to the current Hib vaccine shortage. To meet this goal, ADPH will strengthen case finding and invertigatino of invasive disease in children <5 years of age caused by H. influenza.
Bolstered by state legislation that goes into effect August 1, 2009, requiring all licensed hospitals to collect and report HAI data, ADPH will form an Advisory Council to develop and implement a program to monitor the incidence rate of three distinct areas of HAI and provide internal and external comparisons of the information in order to further develop prevention activities among healthcare providers and the general public.
The purpose of this program is to assist state public health agencies improve surveillance for, and response to, infectious diseases by (1) strengthening epidemiologic capacity; (2) enhancing laboratory practice; (3) improving information systems; and (4) developing and implementing prevention and control strategies. This supplemental will provide technical assistance to state health departments to make critical short-term investments that will provide for a sustainable state infrastructure on HAI prevention and significant progress toward preventing HAIs.
This grant will support the ADPH Annual Influenza Immunization Program infrastructure. The program will use these funds to increase vaccination coverage levels for children, adolescents, and adults across the lifespan within its geographical borders. Activities will include: collaboration with key stakeholders and partners; mass media campaigns; distribution of pertinent, culturally sensitive, and age appropriate education material; technical assistance; participation in community health fairs, churches, and other relevant venues.
It takes more than vaccine to vaccinate a population. Section 317 grantees have been allocated ARRA funding to purchase priority vaccines; these ARRA funds will support the operations infrastructure needed to deliver and account for those vaccinated. The costs to fully vaccinate a child, adolescent, or adult have grown substantially in the past 10 years because the number of recommended vaccines has increased and because new recommendations have expanded the size of vaccination target populations.
Most individuals in the U.S. receive vaccination benefits through private health insurance, government-supported insurance such as SCHIP and Medicare, or through an entitlement to certain children, the Vaccines for Children program. However, vaccinations for many individuals are not covered by this combination of programs and health insurance. These individuals either pay for immunization services out-of-pocket, receive immunizations from local, state, or federal discretionary government funding, including the federal Section 317 program, or go unvaccinated.
The ARRA-funded Alabama State Loan Repayment Program (ASLRP) will fund loan repayment sub-grants to qualified dental and mental healthcare professionals. With this award, ten dental and mental health professionals can receive funding to assist with repayment of loans.
Selected employing health care organizations will be required to provide a matching sub-grant to each dental and mental health professional for two years at a maximum of $17,500.00 per year.
The goal is to increase the number of National Health Service Corps Recruitment and Retention applications reviewed, recommended, and subsequently filled by qualified healthcare providers, serving populations in critical shortage areas. Funds will be used for staff salary, fringe, and direct costs.
This funding is for the development and processing of National Health Service Corps Recruitment and Retention Applications.
Funds will be used to conduct an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) readiness study.
This grant allows WIC state agencies to establish, improve or administer management information systems (MIS) for WIC, to include changes necessary to meet new legislative or regulatory requirements and including the use of electronic benefits transfer in the WIC Program. Funds may be used to conduct feasibility study, paper cost analysis, retailer surveys, and other EBT planning work.
The funds will be used for programmatic expenses; salary, supplies, travel, and training.
This initiative will significantly expand the awareness of proper infection control technique among Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASC) and State Agencies (SA), increase the extent to which infection control deficiencies are both identified and remedied, and prevent future serious infections in ASCs by: (a) Improving SA inspection capability and frequency for onsite surveys of ASCs nationwide, (b) Using a new infection control survey tool developed by the CDC and CMS, (c) Improving the survey process through the use of a CMS tracer methodology, and (d) Using multi-person teams for ASCs over a certain size or complexity.
Approved Formula
This grant will be administered by the Department of Public Health, Bureau of Professional and Support Services and the Bureau of Health Promotion and Chronic Disease. Funds are utilized for staff, to provide training, supplies and for travel costs.
Component 1a: The site visits to each of the schools started in November. The Departments of Health and Education are jointly conducting visits. They will include time with each school to compare the school's current curriculum with the new instruction guide. The vending machine continues to proceed.

NORTH FORSYTH – After allowing the family of the builder six months to find an alternative, Forsyth County commissioners have decided to demolish the iconic Barker House on Sawnee Mountain.
The vote was unanimous at a work session on Tuesday afternoon after District 4 Commissioner Cindy Jones Mills read a letter sent to the board from the family of late architect Jim Barker. The house is known for its rounded "spaceship" appearance.
In the letter, family members said no alternative had been found in six months due to circumstances beyond the family's control and asked for some remembrance of the house or Barker to be established where the house currently sits.
"Maybe they have some pictures and photos to create something," Chairman Todd Levent said.
County Manager Doug Derrer also read a letter responding to the family and said the county would work to honor their wish.
"I'm confident the board will gladly entertain a plan incorporate a theme that commemorates the house, history and family," Derrer said.
Under the agreement approved in September 2016, the county gave the family and others the right to enter the property with county staff, but the county was not liable for any injuries or other damage on the property, which has been plagued with vandalism and break-ins.
Commissioners previously approved the demolition before deciding to give the family the six months after outcry from them and the public.
The county purchased the house and the property surrounding it for $1.8 million in 2003, which was before any current commissioners began their terms.
Several studies have been done over the years to attempt to find a suitable use for the property, of which none were found to be plausible without significant and costly work being done.
A study done by Georgia Tech in 2004 found the property would need an additional lobby and tower for an elevator to meet American Disability Act standards.

Do we really need yet another history of cricket? Yes, if it's as perkily written as this.
The former Middlesex quickie has strung the story of "the greatest game on earth" (his words, but we agree) together in entertaining, conversational manner, and he is as sound on players past as present, rescuing from the shadows neglected English heroes such as Wilfred Rhodes, the slow left-armer who took 4,204 first-class wickets and could bat a bit too, managing 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in a season 16 times. He is acute on some of today's greats; comparing Brian Lara with Garry Sobers, he observes that Lara is "just as good. And just as mercenary". One or two of the jokes are as laboured as Matthew Hoggard's trudge back to his mark but it is a fresh trip down a well-trodden path.
Also out in paperback is Marcus Berkmann's whimsical 'Ashes to Ashes' (Abacus, £8.99), updated with the 2009 series. The perfect pick-me-up for those bored with "twenny-twenny".

Christopher Plummer is arguably the finest actor of the post-World War II period never to be nominated for an Academy Award, following in the footsteps of John Barrymore, for whose portrayal onBroadway he won a Tony Award. Aside from Barrymore, Plummer is the premier Shakespearean actor to come out of North America in the 20th century. He has also given many fine portrayals on film, particularly as he got older and settled down into a comfortable marriage with his third wife. Though he likely always be remembered as Baron Von Trapp in the atomic bomb-strength blockbuster The Sound of Music (1965), his later film work includes such outstanding performances as the best cinema Sherlock Holmes--other than Basil Rathbone -- in Murder by Decree (1979), the chilling villain in The Silent Partner (1978), his iconoclastic Mike Wallace in The Insider (1999) and the empathetic psychiatrist in A Beautiful Mind (2001). Though many times tipped for a Best Supporting Actor nomination in the last ten years, he has never made it to the post. Aside from the traditional anti-New York bias of the Academy, whether this is because of his Canadian heritage is unknown. Many Canadians have won Ocars, including Mary Pickford, Marie Dressler, Norma Shearer and Walter Huston, but there is something different about Plummer; the fact that his demeanor and talent mark him off as more English than American may put off Academy voters (perhaps it is fitting that there is something "foreign" about Plummer: he is the great-grandson of former Canadian Prime Minister Sir John Abbott).
Aside from his failure to ring the gong at the Academy Awards, Plummer remains one of the most respected and honored actors performing in the English language. He's won two Emmy Awards out of six nominations stretching 46 years from 1959 and 2005, and one Genie Award in five nominations from 1980 to 2004. For his stage work, Plummer has racked up two Tony Awards on six nominations, the first in 1974 as Best Actor (Musical) for the title role in "Cyrano," and the second in 1997, as Best Actor (Play), in "Barrymore." Surprisingly, he did not win (though he was nominated) for his masterful 2004 "King Lear," which he originated at the Stratford Festival in Ontario and brought down toBroadway for a sold-out run. His other Tony nominations show the wide range of his talent, from a 1959 nod for the Elia Kazan-directed production of Archibald Macleish's Pulitzer Prize-winning "J.B." to recognition in 1994 for Harold Pinter's "No Man's Land," with a 1982 Best Actor (Play) nomination for his Iago in William Shakespeare's "Othello." This man can act, and seeing him perform onstage is one of an acting aficionado's great pleasures.
He continues to be a very in-demand character actor in prestigious motion pictures. If he were truly English rather than Canadian-American, he'd have been knighted long ago (in 1968 he was a made a Companion of the Order of Canada, the country's highest civilian honor and one which requires the approval of the sovereign). In 1970, Plummer - a self-confessed 43-year-old "bottle baby" - married his third wife, dancer Elaine Regina Taylor, who helped wean him off his dependency on alcohol. They currently live on a 30-acre estate in Weston, Connecticut, and although he spends the majority of his time in the United States, he remains a Canadian citizen.
After training at London's Central School, I made my professional debut in a 1962 production of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM at the Royal Court Theatre. Following a tour of BILLY LIAR and rep in Dundee, I made my West End debut at the Haymarket, in N.C. Hunter's THE TULIP TREE with Celia Johnson and John Clements. Then came an invitation to join The National Theatre for its inaugural season at the Old Vic, and with it the opportunity to work with such directors as Gaskill, Dexter, Olivier, Zeffirelli and Coward in roles such as Rose in THE RECRUITING OFFICER, Barblin in ANDORRA, Jackie in HAY FEVER, Kattrin in MOTHER COURAGE, Miss Prue in LOVE FOR LOVE, and Margaret in MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING which kept me busy for the next three years.

Title: Ryker & Gavin
Author: A.D. Ellis
Series: Something About Him 5
Publisher: A.D. Ellis Publishing
Reviewer: Jodi
Release Date: 01-26-2017
Genre(s): M/M Contemporary Romance
Page Count: 171
Heat Level: 3 flames out of 5
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Gavin Mitchel has resigned himself to a lonely and unfulfilling love life, but his first meeting with Ryker Hudson is as steamy as it is random, which is precisely the way Ryker likes it. Their second meeting, while equally random, is beyond awkward.
Although a fourteen-year age difference stands in their way, a much larger obstacle is also blocking their path. Together, Ryker and Gavin must find the strength to overcome the roadblocks or bid farewell to their happily ever after.
I enjoyed book 5 in this series by AD. I have read the prior books and fell in love with all these men and their stories.. This is Ryker and Gavin's story. I feel you don't have to read the prior books in the series to enjoy this one but it helps to learn about the group of guys.
Ryker's story tore at my heart in the beginning when he came out to his mom and she told him to leave. There is more to the story but you have to read the book to find out. Thanks to FATE, Ryker came out of a potential bad situation OK. His friends are great especially his BFF. Since then Ryker doesn't let people in. One night stands are the way he goes. Until he meets Gavin.
Gavin is a one night stand that for some reason Ryker can't seem to forget and he doesn't know why.
Gavin is older than Ryker by about 14 years but there is a immediate connection. Gavin is a great character to read about. Even though he is an older guy , he wants to find is one true love but hasn't had any luck in the past. He is lonely and has given up on finding love. Gavin and Ryker find out that they have something in common. They find out that Ryker's mother is Gavin's BFF. They are both taken back by this but decide to not tell her of the connection. Ryker also finds out that Gavin is the reason that his mother wants to try to put their relationship back together and he his mad. Even though Ryker and Gavin admit to each other that they are better off as friends , Ryker cant help feeling that there is something special about Gavin. Gavin want Ryker but doesn't want to lose his best friend. Gavin has to decide if his feelings for Ryker are worth taking the risk. It was nice to read a story about finding the one who makes you happy and eventually you decide any risk is worth it to find happiness. Once these 2 get together the chemistry and love scenes are hot. In the end Ryker has his mother back and Gavin has the love he always wanted. AD writes stories that people can relate to and it makes you fell good when they get their HEA.

In that respect, my stepfather was a disappointment - he appeared never to have heard of folklore. As a boy, he had enjoyed the music of griots (West-African troubadours), but as a man he felt ashamed of such backward things. A civil servant, he wore an English suit, and failed his promotion exams by writing stilted "autobiographical" essays in the awkwardly assumed "persona" of an Englishman.
After his death, when I went through his letters, I found that he had written to his cousin in Nigeria describing a dream in which he destroyed a monster by hurling a spear down its throat. "Please have this dream interpreted in our traditional manner," he added. So in his dreams he was a traditional African.
Most absurd of all the assumptions people make when they learn about my stepfather is that, in some way, I have been "brought up black". Having leapt to this conclusion, people look at me incredulously, wondering why I look so sluggish, suburban and incurably English, when I should be bounding along in fashionable clothes, shouting "Yo, well alreety! Ice-T, he's my main man, man!"
By the time I met my stepfather, I was eleven and as brought-up as I would ever be. But even if my stepfather had brought me up, West African is not "black". What the world looks on as fashionably "black" derives from America or the Caribbean.
Was I brought up as an African, then, from the age of eleven? No, I was brought up under apartheid. My stepfather, steeped in the West-African belief that children should do the housework, was amazed to find that my brother and I thought that houses cleaned themselves and had not learnt to do the simplest chores. Stepfather and sons looked on one another in baffled confusion.
Luckily, he did not make us work, but simply left us alone. Our apartheid system developed on these lines - my mother would cook two meals, a hot-pepper-sauce dish of African foo-foo for my stepfather and herself, and English food for us boys. It was cosy in our large basement kitchen, for my mother mastered the art of apartheid conversation - one for the stepfather, one for the boys.
On the few occasions my stepfather attempted a long conversation with me, it ended badly, for he spoke in such academic tones that I would not only lose track of what he was saying, but assume that he was no longer talking to me and walk out of the room. "Yes, John!" and "No, John!" was the normal limit of my conversation with him, always in tones of deep and simulated respect.
In later years, when soul music came along, I seemed to recognise my stepfather's voice in these lyrics: "Respect! Respect! All I want is a little respect when I come home!"
The African father is master in his home. Imagine a grim, deep-voiced Red Indian chief and you get the general idea. There is a great deal to be said for having a fierce man in the house. Humoured with pretended or real respect, the genially grim African father need not vent his ferocity on his family, but can use it to protect them from enemies outside.
My stepfather lacked the fully respect-worthy African demeanour of a Zulu chief sitting in state. We children found it easy to humour and deceive him. After leaving for school with great ceremony, I would hover outside in a nearby doorway until I saw my stepfather emerge with his briefcase and turn the corner to the bus stop. Then I would go home again, where my mother would let me in. "Education" is very important to anglicised Africans but not to English people, thank goodness.
Curiously, it was during the years I lived with my African stepfather that I felt more English than I have felt before or since. When my mother remarried, we left mock-Tudor suburbia and moved into a larger flat in a Georgian house in central London. I felt stunned by the change. For nearly five years, I spent the weekdays in a daze, living only for the weekends, when I left London to stay with my grandparents. As I had passed the 11-plus, they (themselves foreigners) believed I was receiving the education of an English lord. They reverently treated me like Little Lord Fauntleroy, and I readily fell in with the idea.
Once, I went with Martin to the flat of a school friend, a boy who earnestly aspired to please his bus-conductor father by becoming a bank clerk. Not only was I tongue-tied when introduced to Joe's parents, but I remember how absurd the occasion felt - having tea with a bus conductor! Far from feeling "black", I felt that I belonged to my grandparents' imagined aristocracy.
It is from this stance, that of a total outsider, that I introduce a column about black life in Britain

The 24-year-old has been sidelined since October 16 with a niggling ankle problem after failing to fully recover from the effects of a crunching challenge by Bolton defender Paul Robinson the previous month.
Wenger had feared the France international, who had been in good form, would be set for an extended spell on the sidelines. However, the prognosis is now perhaps more positive.
"Diaby is having a gradual test. He had the first on Wednesday - that was positive," revealed the Arsenal manager.
"He has another on Thursday, so we will see what comes out of it. At the moment the response is good."
Arsenal got their Barclays Premier League campaign back on track with a hard-earned 2-0 win at Wolves in midweek.
Wenger revealed there were no fresh injury concerns ahead of Sunday's trip to Everton, where England full-back Kieran Gibbs could be involved after a knee problem.
"We should not have any bad news from Wednesday night. The squad should be the same," Wenger told Arsenal TV Online.
"We could have Gibbs available to be part of it again too. We will make the decision at the end of the week.
"He is back in normal training. It is just whether he is fit or not."
Wenger hinted he could look to freshen up Arsenal's starting XI, given the amount of games his squad have played recently in both domestic and European competition.
"There are always one or two changes," he said. "Some players have played a lot and we have some fresh, quality players on the bench.
"Some are not completely match-fit like [Robin] van Persie and [Nicklas] Bendtner, but in midfield there may be one or two changes."
Arsenal are short in the centre of defence with Thomas Vermaelen (Achilles) and Laurent Koscielny (suspension) both unavailable.
Goalkeeper Manuel Almunia is closing in on a return to full fitness after an elbow problem, but could have his path blocked by Lukasz Fabianski, who produced another impressive display at Molineux.

William Hill World Championship Draw
GARY ANDERSON, Michael van Gerwen and Phil Taylor will all meet preliminary round winners in the 2016 William Hill World Darts Championship, with the tournament's draw throwing up a host of tasty ties for the sport's biggest event.
The £1.5 million tournament will see 72 players doing battle at London's Alexandra Palace from December 17-January 3, live on the Sky Sports Darts channel.
Reigning World Champion Gary Anderson will begin the defence of his title against either Andy Boulton, Monday's PDPA Qualifier runner-up, or Denmark's Per Laursen on the tournament's opening night on Thursday December 17.
Anderson followed up his phenomenal 7-6 win over Phil Taylor in last year's World Championship final by winning the Premier League title in May, and is looking forward to defending his title at Alexandra Palace.
"I've got wonderful memories of last year's World Championship and I can't wait to get back there," said Anderson, who is 6/1 with William Hill to retain his title.
"It's a hard game to prepare for because you don't know until the night who you're going to play, but Per Laursen's been around for years and Andy Boulton did really well to come through the PDPA Qualifier, so I know it's going to be tough."
World number one van Gerwen, the 2014 World Champion who has enjoyed an incredible 12 months since losing to Anderson in last year's semi-finals, has drawn the winner of the preliminary round tie between Thailand's Thanawat Gaweenuntawong and Germany's Rene Eidams.
Van Gerwen has amazingly won four televised tournaments during an unbeaten November and is the 5/4 favourite to regain the World Championship title with sponsors William Hill.
However, the 26-year-old said: "It's going to be a tricky game because I've not seen much of either player to be honest. They've done well to qualify so I know I can't take them lightly and I'll be focused.
"I've had a brilliant year and this last month has been amazing for me, but I'm already looking forward to the World Championship. I'm going to have a little break to rest and then I'll be preparing for Ally Pally.
"I know people will be expecting a lot of me in the World Championship, but I've just got to prepare for one game at a time and that's what I'll do."
16-time World Champion Phil Taylor also drew a preliminary round winner, and he will open his challenge against either Japan's Keita Ono or Philippines qualifier Alex Tagarao.
Number four seed Peter Wright, the 2014 runner-up to van Gerwen, has draw former World Youth Champion Keegan Brown for their mouth-watering opener, while two-time World Champion Adrian Lewis opens up against Dutch debutant Jan Dekker.
Number six seed Robert Thornton, October's World Grand Prix champion, has drawn Alexandra Palace debutant Alan Norris, the former Lakeside Championship finalist who has won a Players Championship since joining the PDC circuit in January.
World number seven James Wade will take on either South African debutant Warrick Scheffer or Greece's John Michael, while number eight seed Michael Smith, the former World Youth Champion, takes on debutant Jeffrey De Zwaan, the 19-year-old from the Netherlands who has impressed in his first year on the circuit.
Stoke's Ian White, the number nine seed, has drawn another young debutant, Belgium's Dimitri Van den Bergh, 2010 finalist Simon Whitlock plays PDPA Qualifier winner Ricky Evans and number 11 seed Terry Jenkins takes on American number one Darin Young.
Belgium's Kim Huybrechts, the 12th seed, has drawn Shropshire's David Pallett, Dave Chisnall faces Austrian youngster Rowby-John Rodriguez and Mervyn King, the number 14 seed, plays either Russia's Aleksandr Oreshkin or Singapore's veteran star Paul Lim.
World number 15 Vincent van der Voort has drawn DPA Australian Grand Prix champion Loz Ryder, with number 16 seed Raymond van Barneveld - the 2007 champion - up against emerging Dutchman Dirk van Duijvenbode, while Stephen Bunting takes on Germany's Jyhan Artut.
Northern Ireland's Brendan Dolan faces Australian ace Kyle Anderson, Dutch thrower Jelle Klaasen meets Joe Cullen, Justin Pipe has drawn Christian Kist and in-form Austrian Mensur Suljovic plays Holland's Jermaine Wattimena.
Two-time semi-finalist Mark Webster, who has returned to form in recent months, has drawn either China's Qiang Sun or returning Irishman Mick McGowan, with number 23 seed Jamie Caven meeting either Austria's Michael Rasztovits or New Zealand number one Rob Szabo.
An exciting clash of two young prospects sees Holland's Benito van de Pas take on German teenager Max Hopp, who won the PDC Unicorn World Youth Championship title on Sunday night.
Former Lakeside Champion Steve Beaton meets Oceanic Masters champion Koha Kokiri, Wes Newton meets Spain's Cristo Reyes in the first round for the second successive year - after losing out in a sudden-death leg to the newcomer 12 months ago - and 2012 finalist Andy Hamilton plays Joe Murnan.
Number 28 seed Andrew Gilding plays Welsh ace Gerwyn Price, Dean Winstanley drew Belgium's Ronny Huybrechts, 2004 runner-up Kevin Painter meets either Finland's Kim Viljanen or Dutch debutant Sven Groen, Jamie Lewis faces Northern Ireland's Daryl Gurney and John Henderson plays Darren Webster.
The tournament, which features an increased record prize fund of £1.5 million this year, will be held across 15 days at London's Alexandra Palace, with 66,000 fans set to see the battle to claim the Sid Waddell Trophy.
The preliminary and first rounds will be held before the Christmas break, with the second and third rounds to be held between Christmas and New Year.
The quarter-finals are then played on New Year's Day, with the semi-finals on January 2 and the decisive final on Sunday January 3 as the first sporting World Champion of 2016 is crowned.

HP 2015 Civic SI
I've got a stock 2015 Civic SI sedan. What's my
best option to get another 20 plus HP out of the
6 Answers
Nothing unless you are willing to void your warranty
Cold air intake not sure I'd that still void warranty tho
Keep all your stock parts so you can bolt them back on if it needs to be checked out by a mechanic or worse...the dealership!! Like Terry mentioned a cold air intake could give you a tiny boost in HP. An exhaust header (as long as it's street legal) can give you even more. There are even supercharger kits out there if you are feeling adventurous for like $5000!!
Thanks ColdinMA! What about performance chips? Have you had any experience using them in a Civic?
I haven't personally but they do change the air/fuel ratios to optimize the HP delivered. You would have to research the many brands that are out there and try the most proven and reputable.
Chips are a waste of money and will almost guarantee that you won't pass smog inspection. A cold air intake and performance exhaust MIGHT get you 20hp but buy parts that have dyno tests to back up their claims.

How to Repeal Obamacare in the Senate
This week the House will pass a bill to repeal Obamacare. Congressional experts will argue that the Senate won't pass a full repeal. They are correct to argue that full repeal will not be passed by both the House and Senate in the next few months, but they may be wrong that a full repeal bill will not pass in this Congress within the next two years. If Senators don't take two procedural steps this week, they will make it virtually impossible to ever get a vote on the House-passed full repeal bill this Congress.
The House will pass H.R. 2 this week. Once that bill is passed, it will be sent to the Senate for consideration. Once the Senate receives the bill, any Senator can use Rule 14 to object to the second reading of the bill. This procedural objection will "hold at the desk" the House-passed bill and allow the Senate to act on the full repeal measure.
If the bill is referred to committee, it will never get to the Senate floor. This procedural objection by one or a number of Senators will stop the bill from being referred to the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee (HELP). If the bill is referred to committee, there is little to no expectation that the committee will pass the bill, let alone have one hearing on the bill.
Objecting to Rule 14 would hold the bill at the desk of the Senate and would put H.R. 2 on the Senate calendar. This procedure could be done with a letter or call from one Senator to the party leader. This would allow the Senate Majority Leader to commence debate on the matter when he so chooses. It is unlikely that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D–NV) would move to proceed to the bill, yet there is a procedure that any Senator can use to force a debate.

Just as the Secretary of State for Culture, Chris Smith, was launching his book Creative Britain in a bash at the Tate Gallery on Thursday night, so the entire drama panel of the Arts Council made a crisis out of a drama and resigned en masse.
The new Council under Smith's own appointee, the businessman Gerry Robinson, was alleged to be far from creative - run by businessmen and cost-cutters. "I am distressed," said the panel's chairwoman, Thelma Holt, the West End producer. "I'm Labour and I've worked for Labour but I did better under Virginia Bottomley."
As the news broke, Smith was chatting to her fellow authors Hanif Kureishi and Salman Rushdie, who also know a bit about how external events can overshadow your best literary efforts. In Smith's case, though, he has brought the bad reviews upon himself. What cannot be disguised by his book (or collection of speeches, to use a more accurate term) is that the Secretary of State, in his first year, has failed by the very standards he has set himself.
In the lengthy and challenging introduction to his book, Smith writes that his four key themes for "the nurturing of creative activity and enjoyment ... are access, excellence, education and economic value".
Yet in his first year all four of these cornerstones have been threatened by a cash cut in the Arts Council grant to its clients; something the Tories never dared to do. The Royal Shakespeare Company, one of the victims, cannot afford to pay the salaries to attract top-class performers away from television and the West End. This is not mentioned in the book. Neither is the closure of the Greenwich Theatre, in the shadow of the pounds 750m Dome.
"It simply won't do, Minister," declared Sir Peter Hall about the cash cut to the Arts Council at an awards ceremony, pointing at Smith. Neither will it do for Smith to claim in his book: "I understand the disappointment ... but I would say, first, look at what we have been able to do - from incentives for film to help for music in schools to securing free admission to some of our greatest museums and galleries. Consider also the additional pounds 5m ... to provide a `new audiences' fund for the performing arts ..."
Consider also the following: The guarantee of free admission at some of the national museums is only for a year and took a sustained media campaign; museums such as the Victoria and Albert, which already charge, were not given money to end charges, thus creating a two-tier system. Two national institutions - the National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside and the National Museum of Scotland - have introduced charges since Labour came to power.
Consider, too, the new audiences fund. It bears little relation to the promises of Labour when it was in opposition for widespread cheaper seats to encourage youngsters, and nationwide pay-what-you-can evenings. It consists of a couple of pilot schemes including the daft notion of drafting opera singers and Shakespearean actors into nightclubs.
As for education, one of the country's very few theatres for children is fighting for its life. And the help for music teaching in schools is a government initiative that has passed most parents by.
Chris Smith is a thoughtful and well-liked minister. But he has failed the first test, which is to persuade the Treasury of the arts' importance. However, there is a deeper failing in Labour's culture ministry.
The Secretary of State has failed, too, to provide the country with a vision of why the arts matter. He now belatedly dismisses the gimmick of Cool Britannia. But he has not replaced it with any coherent framework of cultural values that transcend class barriers and are a source of national pride. Not even a much- hyped book with a Damien Hirst cover can disguise that.Reuse content

The Neapolitan Mastiff Club 4th Breed Open Show
Date: 14.04.2007
Judge: Anne Marie-Class.
Anne-Marie Writes: I would like to say that I was really pleased to judge in such a friendly, relaxed and fair atmosphere. It was a pleasure to have a real choice for the best dogs between several top level Neapolitan: massive, thick-set dogs, with good parallel planes of skull and muzzle, with good movements, a strong drive of the hindquarters and good reach of the forequarters. Mastino have such a beautiful expression that it is a shame when you cannot see it because of too many wrinkles as necessary and a too deeply set eye, and I meet that with several dogs of great quality otherwise. It was one of my regrets.
I was delighted with the temperament of your dogs, very friendly. Best In Show, the Bitch, was for me the better balanced between head and movement, I loved the Best Dog for his bone and substance, Reserve dog for his head and size (he still needs to mature with the body) and the Reserve Bitch for her exceptional sound movement.

Very good body construction, excellent hind quarters and angulation. Excellent feet, excellent muscle condition for age. Very good top line which he kept on the move. Very good sound movement. Excellent temperament also. Congratulations!
Minor Puppy Dog (2) (1A):

"Beauty and the Beast" is my second favorite animated Disney movie of all time ("The Lion King" is the first). So I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical when I first learned the movie was being adapted into a live-action picture.
Then the first photos emerged. While many were excited, I couldn't help but feel slightly underwhelmed by the Beast and a bit skeptical of the design for Lumiere and Mrs. Potts.
Finally, Disney premiered the first official trailer for the movie Monday morning and it has restored my faith in the tale as old as time. Dan Stevens sounds like the Beast we know, Belle seems like she's been updated and remixed for the 21st century, and Cogsworth is downright adorable.
Keep reading to see what has us excited for the movie next March.

text: 000 FXUS63 KBIS 211154 AFDBIS Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 654 AM CDT Fri Apr 21 2017 .UPDATE... Issued at 628 AM CDT Fri Apr 21 2017 Dense fog has spread through much of the area per latest observations and spotter reports. The only exception so far is far northwest North Dakota and portions of the far southern James River Valley. Latest HRRR seems to have a rather good grasp on this and keeps the fog in place through the early morning eroding it out around mid-morning. A dense fog advisory was issued a little over an hour ago when the fog started to really set in, and will expire at 900 am cdt. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 305 AM CDT Fri Apr 21 2017 Current surface analysis places trough stretching along the eastern edge of the Rockies, while high settles through the eastern plains into the upper Midwest. Upper level analysis places modest ridge over the northern plains, with trough dipping through the Rockies. Over our region, areas of fog have developed and continue to spread through random portions of the area. For today...areas of fog will continue through early morning, diminishing late morning. Otherwise, a pleasant day is expected with mild temperatures while modest upper ridge remains over the region. Mainly quiet weather continues tonight, though a wave passing to the north may allow some light showers to sneak into northern portions of the area as it pushes upper level level high to the south while a cold front approaches the area. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 305 AM CDT Fri Apr 21 2017 Aforementioned cold front settles into far northern portions of the area on Saturday, then starts to back into northeastern portions of the area overnight Saturday into Sunday. This will bring cooler temperatures to these areas along with shower chances along and north of the boundary. To the south, milder temperatures expected. Sunday night into Monday, an aggressive short wave trough approaches the region while a surface low deepens near the Black Hills and pushes easterly. This will bring increasing precipitation chances to the area. Most precipitation that does develop will be rain, but can not rule out some snow developing over northern locations. Chances diminish Monday night. Models then start to differ for the remainder of the week with where to place the next upper low over the region. With that said, will continue to places some precipiation chances in the forecast given the generally unsettled pattern. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night) Issued at 1224 AM CDT Fri Apr 21 2017 Widespread LIFR conditions in fog expected to remain over most locations through mid-morning.

Today in my newsfeed I had a wonderful gift waiting for me: this great article on Socialfish by Amanda Kaiser: 5 Elements Of Your Association's Brand. I found it particularly interesting because in talking with association professionals many consider their association separate from the regular needs and efforts of marketing. For example, yes, they want word out about their association, but marketing? Nah. We just need more members.
It seems counterintuitive, though. Marketing is just promoting and selling products or services. In other words, "spreading the word" about your association and selling memberships.
Perhaps your association doesn't want to pick up a hard sales pitch, and that's a pretty good instinct to follow. People are marketed to constantly, and while your members may be willing to pay dues to participate they certainly don't want to pay to be "sold to." However as Amanda points out in her article, knowing your association brand is a good thing. Let's use Seth Godin's definition for these purposes: A brand is the set of expectations, memories, stories and relationships that, taken together, account for a consumer's decision to choose one product or service over another. (Read the rest of Seth's thoughts on brand on his blog!)
So going on that thought of feeling and expectation, let's go back to Amanda's post. She submits five essential brand elements as product, promise, look, voice, and story. You could probably answer all of those about your association if you sat down and thought about it right now. Really, read the rest of Amanda's analysis. It's great!
So once you have your brand, then what? In my experience, new ideas and different ways of thinking often crop up just in carefully considering your brand, but if not chew on this big important question:
Does everything you do reflect your association's INTENDED brand?
For example, say your association's brand is fun, innovative, and professional but casual. You regularly publish industry reports that are certainly helpful to your members but they are very data-heavy, difficult to read, and require some pretty intense interpretation. Those reports don't reflect your association's brand, but a quick, easy-to-read analysis will. You should still provide the reports but in a context that works for your members.
The branding conversation is a big one. Businesses spend big money and often hire outside marketing firms to deal with these things, but your association is just a collection of people. Establishing your brand could be as simple as a brainstorming session with your members answering the questions, "How do you feel about our association and what do you expect?"

The December ZEW survey contained few surprises with both the current conditions and expectations components essentially matching the market consensus.
Current conditions weighed in at 55.0, up just 0.6 points versus November but still a couple of ticks short of their October print and 7.2 points below the third quarter average. Expectations showed a rather larger bounce, gaining nearly 6 points to 16.1 to reach their highest reading since August. Even so, December's print was also comfortably below the level seen earlier in the year and fully 38.7 points shy of the March high.
ZEW described the German economy as robust enough to withstand the knock-on effects of slowing global demand but acknowledged that increasing weakness in the emerging markets had hit domestic exporters. However, the main issue was still seen to be the influx of migrants that needs to be accommodated in the local labour market.
Today's results tentatively point to little real change in the Ifo business climate indicator, due Thursday.
The monthly survey, conducted by the Mannheim-based Center for European Economic Research (ZEW), asks German financial experts for their opinions on current economic conditions and the economic outlook for Germany as well as other major industrial economies.
The ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment is calculated from the results of the ZEW Financial Market Survey. The ZEW is followed closely as a precursor and predictor of the Ifo Sentiment Survey and as such is followed closely by market participants. The data are available the second week of the month for the preceding month. The survey provides a measure of analysts' view of current economic conditions as well as a gauge of expectations about the coming six months. The latter measure tends to have the larger market impact and reflects the difference between the share of analysts that are optimistic and the share of analysts that are pessimistic. About 350 financial experts take part in the survey.

Despite a "flight to quality" in the retail property market over the last few years, even prime shopping locations could feel the pinch from falling consumer spending, a leading economist has claimed today.
Recent data from industry analysts Investment Property Databank (IPD) supports other evidence which has shown that whilst demand for secondary and tertiary retail space has fallen, traders have been moving more of their stores into prime locations.
According to the IPD latest quarterly report, prime standard shop rental values have risen by more than four per cent over the past year, albeit driven almost exclusively by demand in central London, while prime retail warehouse rents have slightly increased and shopping centre rents stayed stagnant.
Economist group Capital Economics (CE) argues that consumer spending is set to take a further plunge in the next year and that even prime locations will not be immune to the effects to the market.
Kelvin Davidson, Property Economist for CE, said: "Arguments that further "flight to quality" will insulate the landlords of prime retail property from the effects of a renewed drop in consumer spending have a strong intuitive appeal.
"But there must be a risk that if, as we expect, consumer drops below the levels seen at the depths of the 2008/09 recession, occupiers put all strategic decisions on hold.
"It is surely possible, therefore, that the recent migration towards prime space is rapidly replaced by a period of paralysis, during which most retailers simply postpone all relocation and/or expansion decisions."
Whilst general retail sales levels across the UK have struggled throughout the year, major shopping centres and major tourist locations such as London's West End have defied the gloom with strong trading.
Davidson warns however that the recent high profile administrations of Habitat and Jane Norman are not likely to be the last, and points towards figures from professional services firm Ernst & Young which show that profit warnings from listed retailers surged up to 2008 levels in the first half of the year.
CE predicts that consumer spending will drop by 1.5 per cent in total in 2011 and by a further one per cent in 2012, with levels returning to those last seen in mid-2005 and the two-year decline being similar to the 3.3 per cent crash seen in the recession of the early 1990s.
"Average prime retail rental values did not escape the previous recession unscathed and we struggle to see how they will be completely immune to this episode of falling consumer spending," Davidson added.
"Admittedly, thanks not least to the protection of existing leases, landlords' income streams from prime retail property did not decline in 2008/09 and may hold up again over the next 12 to 18 months.
"But flat income, rather than continued growth, is probably about the best that can be hoped for."
