An AU of a Sixth Year AU Story: What would have happened if two liberal American druids had taken Harry to America, before returning with him to Hogwarts? In this chapter, Harry is orphaned.
Chapter I
Monday, September 28, 1981
"Lily, I really shouldn't be here."
"I know, darling, but we have to talk."
"About what?"
"About Harry, about his future."
James frowned. "What do you mean? We're going under the Fidelius next week. We'll be safe."
Lily shook her head. "I know Divination isn't very accurate. . . ."
"It can be," James said, "but there's it rare for a Muggle-born witch or wizard to have any real talent in that area. Your feelings are just feelings."
"Don't you dare give me that line, James! This is our children we're talking about. I. . . ."
"I'm pregnant, about six weeks along. I felt its magic, her magic, actually, when she was conceived. And last night, last night she came to me."
"Darling. . . ."
Lily sat down, tears running down her cheeks. "She had my eyes, just like Harry, but her hair was auburn. She changed, from a toddler, to a child not quite old enough for Hogwarts, and then a younger teen, maybe fourteen or fifteen. She alternated between those forms, but she spoke consistently. She said that she was never going to grow up, because Voldemort would find us. She would die as a fetus or as a toddler, depending on who we choose as a secret keeper. We would die with her. Harry would destroy Voldemort, either in his first or last year at Hogwarts. If Petunia raises him, it will be in his last year. If Tabitha raises him, it will be in his first."
"Sirius. . . ."
"Face facts, James! If we're killed, do you think Sirius would likely live long enough to raise Harry? Peter would be a worse parent than Petunia, and the Ministry would never allow Remus to do it."
"We're not going to die, Lily. Well, not for a hundred to a hundred and fifty years, anyway."
"Then why not let me have my way on this, James? If it won't happen, why worry about it?"
James switched arguments, having lost the first one. "Why Tabitha? She'd likely marry Henry, and he's sworn primarily to the Longbottom baby."
"Neville is the same age as Harry," Lily reminded him.
"Whatever. Until they talk in complete sentences, they're babies. Anyway, Tudor looks more like Harry."
"It would be easier to explain away Harry's black hair than his green eyes," Lily retorted. "And I trust Tabitha. Please James! Before we go under the Fidelius, let's change our wills."
James frowned. There was a thousand years of family pride involved in what he felt, but knew it would be difficult for a middle-class Muggle-born like Lily to understand. On the other hand, there was just that small chance Lily might be right.
"I can't let them adopt Harry," he finally said. "Lily . . . pretend for a moment, we're Muggles, back hundreds of years ago. I'm James, Earl Potter. Harry has been born to a position in life. That position is important. We can't give up his birthright."
"But. . . ."
James held up his hand. "I will agree to Tabitha having Harry's guardianship under the following conditions. One, his name must legally stay as it is. They may disguise his surname until he is eleven. Two, they tell him our story by his eleventh birthday. Three, they don't try to pass off any living person as Harry's father. Four, unless Dumbledore or a Hogwarts professor designated by Dumbledore says differently, Harry must attend Hogwarts, and under his real name."
Lily thought about that. It offered Harry slightly less protection than her ideas, but probably fit in with her child's prophecy better. "All right," she said. "I'll tell Tabitha. You tell Dumbledore and change the wills. We'll sign them before we go into hiding."

"I'll miss you," Lily told Tabitha and Tom.
"We'll miss the two of you," Tom said, shaking Harry's hand, which made the toddler giggle.
"You're a very happy baby, Harry," Tabitha said softly, tears forming in her eyes. "Try and stay happy. Here," she said to Lily, handing her a conch shell.
"What does this do?"
"Well, right now, if you hold it to your ear you can hear the ocean," Tom said. "We want you and Dumbledore to go over it, to show that there're no enchantments on it right now. We'll enchant it, and five others. We'll keep one, Lloyd will take one, Dumbledore will take one, and you can give the fifth one to one of James' friends. These will only work one way. If you or James call for help -- the phrase will be 'goddess, help us' -- we will be able to reach you despite the Fidelius. We cannot trace you unless it sends out an alarm, and it will not work at all in the other direction."
"And, if any of the three of you are seriously injured, you have twenty minutes to prevent it from calling out a distress call. The phrase is, 'goddess, hold back,'" Tabitha instructed. "If . . . should anything worse happen, the alarm will go off automatically."
"Thank you."
"Do you remember all the rituals we've taught you?" Tabitha asked.
"Oh, yes," Lily said. "I hope I don't need any of them."
"We hope you won't, either," Tom acknowledged.
Lily turned to Tabitha. "Remember your promises."
"I swear to them all," Tabitha affirmed. If worse came to worse, she would raise Harry.

11:20 pm
"Is somethin' wrong, Professor Dumbledore, sir?"
Dumbledore had been walking around the castle since the end of the Feast. He had been troubled all day. Although he knew his gift in divination was tiny, he did not think he was being paranoid. He looked up, surprised to see Hagrid.
"I cannot believe anything is wrong. However, I cannot shake the belief something is about to happen, or perhaps is even happening."
"Is there anythin' I can do, Professor?"
'Why not?' Dumbledore thought. "Do you have your, well, your umbrella with you?" He led Hagrid back to his office.
"Bit of a raw night, I thought, sir," Hagrid said, although both men knew the night was cold and clear.
"Good. Sugar Quill," he said, giving his current password. "I shall make a portkey for you. If everything is fine, you will appear in what will look like an open field. If everything is fine, keep holding on to the portkey. If everything is not alright . . . access the situation. You will be able to tell, because there will be a small house . . . or its wreckage. If no Death Eaters are outside, drop the portkey instantly and look for survivors."
"Who might I be looking for?"
"Harry Potter."
"What, not James an' Lily?"
"If you see anything other than an empty field, it is unlikely that there will any survivors, from either side. The most we could hope for is young Harry. Now remember, the portkey will return two minutes after you arrive. Are you ready?"
"Yes, sir."
Hagrid disappeared. At the same moment, the conch shell the Potters had given him began to blow the alarm that signaled at least one of the Potters had been killed.
Dumbledore's face turned ashen, but he hurried to the fireplace to put out the alarm call. The North Americans would be there soon after Hagrid, but it would best if he could signal a general alert.
Hagrid arrived approximately 10 seconds after he had left Dumbledore's office. As far as he could tell, he was standing near a large larch, facing an open field. "Good," he muttered, "no problems."
But about thirty seconds later, there was an explosion which blew Hagrid back into the tree. A lesser man would have been knocked out, and probably seriously injured. Hagrid managed to pick himself up within seconds. He was shocked to see the remains of a small house lay in what had been the open field. He threw down the portkey, and approached cautiously, his umbrella out and at the ready. He couldn't notice a large rat scurrying out of the opposite side of the wreckage and head into the woods.
At that moment, he heard a child crying. Hagrid tore through the rubble, tossing sections of wall as he did so. In less than two minutes, he had uncovered toddler Harry, who was clutching on his mother's robe. There was a jagged cut bleeding on his forehead. A few feet away there was a robe that Hagrid knew instinctively knew had been Voldemort's. "You!" he growled. Had Harry's crying not intensified, Hagrid would have torn through the rubble, looking for Voldemort's body and James'. He flipped another wall out of the way to make certain the rubble wouldn't fall on them, and he saw James' lifeless body. "Poor tyke," he said softly.
Hagrid started to carry the crying toddler out of the wreckage. As he did so, he heard another sound, and looked up, umbrella again at the ready.
"Oh, it's you," Hagrid said as Sirius Black landed.
"Damn!" Sirius swore. "The rotten bastard! I'll kill him! Did you see the rat?"
Sirius meant Peter, but of course Hagrid thought he meant Voldemort.
"'Aven't seen anyone alive but Harry."
"Give him to me. I'm his godfather. I'll take care of him."
"Dumbledore said I was to take him if I were to find him."
Sirius looked torn for a moment, then decided to go after Peter first, since Harry was safe. He would come to regard that as the second worst of idea of his life, after suggesting that Peter be the Secret Keeper in the first place. "Fine. Take my bike, then. It'll adjust for you. To ride it like a broomstick, the command is 'Snivellus blows.' To turn it back into a Muggle cycle, the command is 'Snivellus sucks.'"
Hagrid shook his head at that. "Go on," Sirius commanded. "Make sure he's safe, if you're not going to turn him over to me."
"Alright." Hagrid made his way over to the motorcycle. He turned to ask Sirius a question, but he had seemingly disappeared. He had, in fact, transformed into his dog form. Sirius was already trailing Pettigrew's trail into the woods from the other side of the rubble, out of Hagrid's line of sight.
"Where'd he go?" Hagrid asked the still whimpering Harry, suspicious. Hagrid was about to mount the enlarged motorcycle a few moments later when he heard a deep voice say, "Move and you're dead."
"It's all right, Henry," a deeper voice said. "That's Hagrid, one of Dumbledore's people."
"Still, don't move." Four people came around to the front.
Hagrid recognized one of them. "Yer the American's," he said, his accent thickening.
"That's right," Tudor Myrddin answered. "Harry, Johnny, check the parameter. Tabby, check the bodies. Hagrid, tell me everything you know."
In less than five more minutes, fifteen members of the Order and nine more of the Americans. plus Dumbledore and Alastor Moody, had arrived. Hagrid had repeated his tale, and Dumbledore had told them about the Fidelius, plus the fact that the last he knew, Sirius Black was to be the Secret Keeper.
"So that's why he wanted Harry!" Hagrid roared, nearly waking the exhausted Harry up. He had refused to allow Harry out of his massive arms.
"Sirius Black? The spy?" Henry said. "That's hard to believe."
"Do you doubt it?" Tudor asked.
"A little, but if he wasn't, then he certainly knows what happened," Henry retorted.
"Either he is guilty or he knows who is, and went after them," Tabitha stated. "Either way, we must find him. Either way, someone will pay for this. And there is only one treasure that this crime may be redeemed in!"
"Gwaed!" John Alden, one of the druids who had sworn to protect Harry shouted.
"Ni!" Tudor shouted. "GWAEDOLIAETH!"
"GWAEDOLIAETH!" John, Henry, and Tabitha all screamed. All four Old Believers then raised their wands, and again shouted, "GWAEDOLIAETH!" Four bolts of jagged lightening flashed into the sky. "GWAEDOLIAETH!" and all the Americans had joined in.
Tudor turned to Dumbledore. "For the moment, we shall protect the child. None but us, save you, shall approach him without instant death. Henry! Tabitha! I charge you with his life!"
"Our lives are forfeit, should we fail," they answered.
"I want Hagrid with him," Dumbledore stated. "And this is only until Black is found."
Tudor stared at Dumbledore, who stared back. Tabitha and Henry joined their leader and glared at Dumbledore. Dumbledore backed down for the moment, reluctantly.
Tudor turned away. "Henry, fly that thing to your house. Hagrid, please carry Harry on the back. Tabitha, return now and guard. Contact Tom and Lloyd. There are to be two of you with Harry at all times."
"I obey."
"I obey."
Tudor turned to the other Confederation members. "You know who we are looking for. Find him!" As the motorcycle took off, all the Americans disapparated.
Alastor Moody turned to Dumbledore. "What was that all about?"
"They have been challenged to enforce what to them is a sacred contract. Their charge, Harry, has been orphaned and hurt. This act can only be paid for in blood. But not just blood, that is 'gwaed'. That is any blood. No, they swore by their blood, the blood of their families, their faith -- it is the blood of the killers or their own. Now, let me try and deduce what happened here tonight."
Monday, November 1, 1981
Dumbledore stood in the parlor of the house used by one of the Confederation teams. Tom Lawrence, Tabitha, and Henry were standing behind Tudor, ready to back him up. Tabitha held Harry in her arms. Tom and Lloyd came in to lend further support.
"The Ministry will not allow you to have Black, let alone allow you to execute him," Dumbledore repeated. "He is captured; Voldemort is disembodied. You are not foresworn. Now, let Hagrid have Harry. We need to take him to his relatives."
"No," Tabitha stated. "We have a copy of the Potters' will. I am Harry's guardian. Lily said her sister loathed her, and loathed magic. How can you allow her to have custody of Harry?"
"You taught Lily the ritual that protected Harry," Dumbledore pointed out.
"Yes, the Mother's Sacrifice," Tom agreed. "I am not so certain that placing Harry with his mother's family will be as effective as you think."
"Especially not when we have a better, and legal, alternative," Tudor added.
"Why do you believe it is better?" Dumbledore demanded.
"On the one hand, we do not believe Lily's sister would be a fit guardian. We base this on Lily's opinion. On the other hand, Harry needs to be protected. There are still uncaught Death Eaters, and we totally agree with you, Voldemort is more likely disembodied than destroyed. That means he will likely come back. Harry is now the symbol of his downfall, and so will likely be a target. While the Sacrifice will partially protect Harry against the Death Eaters, it will also only partially protect him against Voldemort, whenever he is re-embodied. If Harry is raised with love, the Sacrifice will be stronger in him against Voldemort, although non-existent against the Death Eaters," Tom explained.
Dumbledore had still not said anything about the Prophecy. "Explain that, please."
Tudor went on. "You believe the Sacrifice will protect Harry. We have doubts about its strength, considering Petunia's feelings towards magic. In addition, we agree that it would not be a good idea to raise Harry in the general British magical community. It could be dangerous, it could be almost as bad for his ego as being raised by his aunt, if in the opposite extreme."
"I believe you exaggerate his aunt's disdain," Dumbledore said.
"We do not," Tudor said firmly. "Like it or not, Tabitha is Harry's legal guardian, not you. Anyone trying to harm him or separate them will face the wrath of all the Old Believers."
"I don't have any real family I have to explain my self to. I shall say I married a fighter named John Evans," Tabitha said. "That was Lily's father's name. He was killed before Harry was even born. Henry and I will marry, and live in magical territory. We will raise him to know magical and Muggle culture. After he leaves school in 1991, we will tell Harry the whole truth. We will bring him to Britain, to be educated at Hogwarts unless you believe it will be too dangerous. If so, we will send him to the Ysgol."
"We will come with him, of course. We shall live in Hogsmeade, to help him," Henry added.
Dumbledore bowed his head, knowing this was a fight he could not win. These few he could defy, but they could, and would, invoke all of the Old Believers, and no doubt most of the North American Confederation, and finally, both magical and Muggle law.
"No one else in Britain today is to know," Tudor warned. "We five, plus Tom and Lloyd. Perhaps we can tell Lupin later on."
"And Professor Minerva McGonagall," Dumbledore added.
"Very well," Tudor agreed.
"Remember, not one word to any else," Tabitha warned. "Harry is Henry Evans at least until the moment he steps aboard the Hogwarts Express."
"Why then?" Tudor asked.
"The scar," Henry said. "It was already in today's Prophet. Unless we can disguise it, Harry will be recognized on the train. Americans will probably ignore it, but here, people will be looking for it."
"Very well," Dumbledore agreed, reluctantly. "I am compelled to go along with you. I shall have to meet with you when you return. In the meantime, I shall let it be known that since the Dursleys hate magic so much, Harry has been placed with some Muggle cousins on his mother's side."
"I shall make the other arrangements," Tudor said. "John Evans needs a history."
Tudor Myrddin commanded a lot of authority. A history of John Evans was created which would satisfy all but the most determined researcher. Tabitha's home near Boston was sold and a new house was purchased in the magical village of Carantouan, in northern Pennsylvania.
Confederation Law Enforcement juggled its personnel, and ex-auror Henry Dorff was now the lead sersiant of the five person staff for the area around Carantouan. Of the many magical towns and villages in North America, this was picked in part because the town apothecary was elderly and willing to sell out. Tabitha took over the shop, and would also serve as the druid for the area, a position that had been open for a few years.
Tom Lawrence bought a small cottage just outside of town. No one was quite certain where his money came from, but since he was Muggle-born, they didn't question it.
Tom's good friend Lloyd Trowbridge was from Carantouan. While he would spend a few months of every year in Britain, he would come back home, building a cabin on the high ridge that formed the eastern side of the valley, which he had just bought. Unknown to all except Henry, Tabitha, and Tom, the Confederation Secret Service (the Wyverns) had in fact purchased the mountain in his name, and were hollowing it out, to create one of their communications centers, combining magic and advanced Muggle technology. Tom and Lloyd were both working directly for the Wyverns.
Henry and Tabitha had been married as soon as they returned to North America. They, and Harry John Evans, moved into their new house on the second Saturday of December, 1981 (December 12).
Harry had been a bit confused these six weeks or so. By now, however, he was calling Tabitha 'Mom'. If he sometimes looked around for a different redhead called 'Mummy,' none of the good citizens of Carantouan ever noticed. With Tabitha, Henry, Tom, and Lloyd vouching for Harry's history (and changing his birthday to July 4), no one would ever make the connection between Henry Evans and Harry Potter.
That first Saturday night, as Harry slept in his crib with the two stuffed dogs he called 'Pa-foo' and 'Moo-y,' his adoptive parents smiled down at him, as their house elf, Petal, looked on. They loved Harry, and loved each other.
"Would you like some more good news?" Tabitha asked.
"Sure," Henry answered. His attention was starting to stray towards starting his job Monday.
"I missed my period, so I tested myself. I'm pregnant."
"Wow," was Henry could say. He hugged Tabitha, glad they could be together.

Have you guys heard about this new product from Domino's? Looks kind of awful, but also kind of great, right? Last week at our monthly show Very Fresh, Dave dared me to eat three in one hour, live on stage (and backstage while other comics were performing). Here is some nutritional information on what I attempted to do:
4380 calories250% daily recommended fat420% daily recommended saturated fat360% daily recommended sodiumTwice daily allowance of carbs 210% daily allowance of calcium
My strategy was to not pace myself and cram as much food down my throat as fast as possible before my body realized what I was trying to do it. My first course was pasta primavera, because it has vegetables so I decided it was like a salad. Then I had a three-cheese macaroni and cheese. You know, for protein. And then, uh, another three-cheese macaroni and cheese.
When I first opened the boxes, I thought, oh yeah, I can get through all three of these no problem, these aren't that big, but about halfway through my second one I totally crapped out. In the end I only got through two and I thought I was going to die. Apparently, each dish is supposed to be enough for two people, so I ate enough for a small family.
We're doing two Very Fresh shows next month — a special all sketch show for the New York sketchfest on Thursday, June 11th, and then our normal show on Friday, June 26th. Come check us out!

text: content August 30, 2004 Printer Friendly In this issue Life Extension Update Exclusive: Meta-analysis finds soy isoflavones lower LDL cholesterol Protocol: Cholesterol reduction Featured Products: Mega Soy Herbal Cardiovascular Formula Life Extension Update Exclusive Meta-analysis finds soy isoflavones lower LDL cholesterol An analysis of eight randomized controlled clinical trials published in the September 1 2004 issue of the Journal of Nutrition (http://www.nutrition.org/) found that soy isoflavones were successful in lowering serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the type of cholesterol that when elevated is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Researchers from Tokyo University of Agriculture sought to determine the effects of soy isoflavones on LDL cholesterol independently of the effects of soy protein. Eight trials involving a total of 639 men and women with and without high cholesterol met the researchers' inclusion criteria. Participants in each study were administered a soy protein isolate which contained either a low or high level of isoflavones (ranging from 3 to 132 milligrams genistein, daidzein and glycitein per day) provided by the same amount of soy protein for each group. Dietary fat, cholesterol and fiber content were similar for all subjects. Serum levels of LDL cholesterol were measured before and after isoflavone supplementation. Analysis of the studies findings showed that a high intake of isoflavones led to significantly greater reductions in serum LDL cholesterol compared to a low intake of isoflavones, with identical consumption of soy protein. The authors suggest that consuming 90 milligrams per day soy isoflavones for one to three months could lower the LDL concentrations of individuals with elevated cholesterol by an average of 7 milligrams per deciliter. Protocol Cholesterol reduction Elevated cholesterol is associated with a greater than normal risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. While antioxidants can inhibit cholesterol from oxidizing onto the linings of the arteries, knowing and controlling your cholesterol levels is still an important step in preventing cardiovascular disease. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is called the "bad" form of cholesterol. LDL carries most of the cholesterol in the blood, and the cholesterol from LDL is the main source of damaging accumulation and blockage in the arteries. Thus, the more LDLcholesterol you have in your blood, the greater your risk of disease. If you have coronary heart disease and your LDL is higher than 100 mg/dL, your cholesterol may well be too high. The FDA has approved soy as a method of lowering the risk of coronary heart disease. For this dietary supplement, one research abstract says it all: Soy has been a staple part of the Southeastern diet for nearly 5,000 years and is associated with a reduction in the rates of cardiovascular disease, and certain types of cancer. The research is now showing that phytochemicals in soy are the mechanism of action responsible (Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine [United States], 1998, 217[3]:386-92). Diets rich in soy protein can protect against the development of atherosclerosis. The mechanisms of action of soy include cholesterol lowering, inhibition of LDL oxidation, protection against the development of atherosclerosis, and reduction in risk of thrombosis. The active constituents in soy responsible for these benefits are the isoflavones genistein, daidzein, and glycitein. In a study to determine whether soy isoflavones would protect against atherosclerosis in mice, it was reported that mice fed a soy diet averaged 30% lower cholesterol (J. Nutr. [United States], June 1998, 128[6]:954-59). The following nutritional supplements offer benefits to assist dietary modification to reduce total serum cholesterol and elevate HDL cholesterol: Policosanol, take one tablet twice per day with meals: one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Soluble fiber (psyllium, guar gum, and/or pectin), 4 to 6 grams before any high-fat meal. Chitosan, three to six 500 mg chitosan capsules and one 1000 mg ascorbic acid capsule right before a high-fat meal. Niacin, 1500 to 3000 mg a day (if tolerable). Artichoke extract, 300 mg, 3 times a day. Garlic, 900 to 8000 mg a day. Curcumin, 900 to 1800 mg a day. Gugulipid, 140 mg 1 to 2 times a day. Green tea, 350 mg a day of green tea, 95% polyphenol extract. Perilla oil, 6000 mg a day. We suggest taking six 1000 mg gel caps daily. If triglycerides are high, take 6000 mg of fish oil instead. Vitamin E, 400 to 800 IU daily. Soy protein extract, 2 heaping teaspoons (5 to 6 grams) of soy powder daily. Soy powder can be easily dispersed and has a light peanut butter taste. For those who want to avoid powders, one capsule of Mega Soy Extract twice a day may work as well. Selenium, 200 to 600 mcg daily. http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcl-032.shtml Featured Products Mega Soy Two 135 mg capsules of Mega Soy Extract provide more than twice the amount of active soy isoflavones consumed daily in Japan, where the risk of certain disorders is significantly less than in the West. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00382.html Herbal Cardiovascular Formula Herbal Cardiovascular Formula provides a variety of herbs, herbal extracts, and plant enzymes that may enhance cardiovascular health. Bromelain is a mixture of sulfur-containing proteolytic enzymes obtained from the stem of the pineapple plant. Bromelain can help break down fibrous substances within the body so that they can be metabolized normally. Curcumin can help maintain normal healthy platetlet function and the normal process of bile excretions.

While waiting for a bus in the 9200 block of West Congress Street at 1:40 p.m. Dec. 6, a man in shorts walked up to a woman while pulling his hooded sweat shirt over his face, reached into his pocket and pulled out a large black revolver, according to a Wauwatosa police report.
Also from the report:
The man seemed nervous, shaking the gun pointed at the woman's chest.
"Give me your phone," he demanded, she told officers.
The Milwaukee woman hastily complied, and the robber jogged off. The woman said he came from an apartment complex near the bus stop, but went in a different direction.
Police combed the area for him, turning up no suspects.

The Chrysler ecoVoyager four-door, four-passenger concept was developed for customers wanting a travel experience on par with a private jet, but without a lot of fancy gadgetry. These customers seek three critical attributes: elegance, simplicity and serenity.
The Chrysler ecoVoyager's front wheels are driven by an electric motor, with power primarily supplied by a lithium-ion battery pack capable of satisfying a consumer's typical daily commute of less than 40 miles.
The electric motor develops 200 kilowatts (268 horsepower), enabling acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in less than eight seconds. A regenerative braking system captures energy that would normally be lost and returns it to the battery, making the Chrysler ecoVoyager concept a very efficient vehicle.
The Chrysler ecoVoyager takes advantage of a range extender – in this case, a small, advanced hydrogen fuel cell — to extend the vehicle range for longer trips. With this advanced technology, the Chrysler ecoVoyager's total range is greater than 300 miles, while no emissions – besides water vapour — come from the exhaust along the way.
- Length: 191.2 inches (4856 mm)

Good shirt.
Lots of pockets, some hidden, removable elbow pads, attractive style for everyday casual wear, great fit for me ( I buy 2 XL because I have to conceal an item under shirts and need 2XL for this). Size seems to run true - but note there is roomy cut across back of shoulders, other than that size is true to 2 XL.
excellent shirt

As a vegetarian it's a constant battle to eat enough protein. I just don't get enough. I usually don't worry about it, but I've been pretty tired lately, and am thinking it might have something to do with a lack of protein. This is a completely uneducated guess, but either way I should be eating more. Does anyone know of any low cal, meat-free options to increase my protein intake? The same goes for iron. If anyone knows any iron rich foods for my anemia, I'd love to hear them!
Thanks in advance!!

Natural peanut butter should help your protein intake. It is very high in protein and has healthy amino acids

some of my favs - nonfat cottage cheese, nonfat greek yogurt, hard boiled eggs, vege burgers, silk soymilk, whole wheat torilla pizza with nonfat cheese, whey protein shakes, nuts
vegetarian diets can also be low in vitamin b12.. ive been supplementing my B vitamins and feel that I have much more energy now.

Do you take a B vitamin supplement? Because there are some B Vitamins only available in meats or supplements and are responsible for energy levels.
Also, looking at your diary, at least the days you've filled in, it looks like you may not be eating enough period. Make sure your net intake is close to 1200- you could be harming your body otherwise.
As far as high protein vegetarian foods- I would recommend greek yogurt, particularly Chobani (not to brand hoc but I've tried like 100 kinds and this is sooo thick and yummy)

Some of my faves have already been mentioned, like cottage cheese (although I'm not sure if it's made with animal rennet or not), and Silk or 8th Continent light vanilla or light chocolate soymilk (not a fan of the original myself, unless baking with it). Some people don't like mock meats because of the processing, which is understandable, but they are great protein sources. Make some Sloppy Joes or tacos with Boca or Morningstar grounds, and one serving is only about 100 calories, plus your bun or shell.
Protein bars and powders are also good, but beware some of them. I was hooked on the Muscle Milk Light vanilla toffee crunch, until I read the wrapper: gelatin. They're not vegetarian. But a lot of brands are, just read your ingredients.
Might you also be anemic? My iron started dropping when I went back to being vegetarian. I work at a blood bank, and when it's slow, sometimes we'll test hematocrit on each other, and mine went from 42 to 37 in a matter of a couple weeks. So, I take a supplement a few times a week, and try to eat iron rich foods and haven't had a problem with it since.

Brussel sprouts, peas, have a lot of protein! One of my favorite staple meals (especially when I'm home a lot and tend to pick) is jasmine rice, peas, and winter squash (or butternut squash). I mash em all together and chow.
I was shocked at the 10g of protein in vegetarian split pea soup, too, btw. Low calorie, low fat, vegetarian, and delicious!
Finally, I made this ridiculously tasty slow cooker vegetarian chili:
1/2 cup olive oil
4 onions, chopped
2 green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14 ounce) package firm tofu, drained and cubed
4 (15.5 ounce) cans black beans, drained
2 (15 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
6 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon liquid hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco™
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions; cook and stir until they start to become soft. Add the green peppers, red peppers, garlic and tofu; cook and stir until vegetables are lightly browned and tender, the whole process should take about 10 minutes.
Pour the black beans into the slow cooker and set to Low. Stir in the vegetables and tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, oregano, vinegar and hot pepper sauce. Stir gently and cover. Cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours.

If you are tired all the time it might not be your protein. You should look at the basics like are you getting 8 hours of good uninterupted sleep a night? If you are still tired maybe time to see your doctor and get a check up and maybe test your iron levels, thyroid, inflammation levels, blood sugars, etc.
Regarding iron levels eat lots of leafy greens. Head off to the farmers marjet and stock up on good qualtiy fresh spinach and any thing else dark green. Iron intake works best in conjunction with vitamin c. So get some fresh fruit while your are at it. May be look at getting an iron supplement (talk to your doctor first or your pharmacist).
Regarding protein it is difficult at times to get your protein in via tofu, legumes, etc. try drinking a couple of protein shakes a day. If you are a lacto vegetarian, buy some whey protein isolate. If you are a vegan, get some pea protein isolate. It is the least crap tasting of the vegan protein powders (choc flavored is best).
Lastly here is a trick if you are feeling down - eat lots of protein during the day and then eat something sweet for supper and get a good nights sleep. In a week or 2 you will feel better. The way it works is the insulin surge happens while you sleep and takes the amino acids collected in your blood stream from protein during the day up thru the blood brain barrier and helps build up serrotinin in your brain. This makes you feel happier and have more energy.
good luck

Legumes (beans and peas) are a great source of protein and they are also very high in iron. If you are feeling very tired there is a chance that you have iron-deficiency anemia. It might be worth it to get that tested. I had that problem during my three pregnancies and I felt so much more energetic once I got on iron supplements. It also helps to eat iron-rich foods with vitamin C to help your body to absorb the iron. Like, have a bowl of lentil soup and an orange in the same meal.
If you eat dairy, cottage cheese and greek yogurt have tons of protein. I also like mozarella cheese sticks because they are pre-portioned snacks with protein.
Nuts are good but are more fat than protein, so I eat them for the healthy fats.
Someone mentioned B vitamins - this is only an issue if you are vegan, you will need to supplement your diet with vitamin B-12. Vitamin B-12 is found naturally in eggs and dairy products so you don't need to worry about it if you are a lacto-ovo vegetarian.

Try Seitan - it is a vegetarian protein made from wheat gluten. It's SUPER easy to make at home - I'll make a log (roll?) and it will last me all week for my lunches. One slice (1/8 of the log) is about 150 calories, 20g of protein. It's super delicious. This is the only recipe I've ever used - http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=606572
There are others out there with different spices, but many of them boil the dough, which really turned me off. I love that this recipe bakes it. It takes awhile to bake, but it's SO worth it.

Do you ever eat Quinoa? It is very high in protein. Also beans are pretty low cal and a good source of protein. Another good idea is to make scrambled eggs or omelettes with only one whole egg and 1 or 2 egg whites.

I am also a vegetarian in your situation. My doctor wants me to get at least 40-50g protein per day. I found that it was not a problem if I started my day with a protein shake (I use 1 scoop GNC Pro Performance® AMP Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60™ - Chocolate) in the morning (20g) with lite soy milk (10g). Then for lunch I'll have a veggie burger or some soy supplement. Lately I've been loving the Italian Sausage links from Tofurkey. THEY HAVE 29G of PROTIEN!!!! So right there I've got 59g!!! That doesn't include veggies, cheese, and other things that I could eat during the day. I've noticed a huge improvement in my energy level as well as fitness performance.

I have been a vegetarian for 9 years and I used to really struggle with getting both enough protein and enough iron, but I don't anymore, because I've learned how to do it right!
Try incorporating:
soy: eat organic, because non-organic soy is almost always genetically modified), including TEMPEH, tofu--sprouted tofu gives you more protein (but, thus more calories) than non-sprouted, and edamame
greek yogurt: nonfat plain is lowest in calories and highest in protein than other varieties
beans: try black, kidney, chickpeas (garbanzo)
quinoa, bulgur wheat, amaranth, whole wheat, and other whole grains
and nuts--which are highly caloric and do not give you as much protein for the calories as the foods mentioned above, but they do have essential acids and vitamins and healthy fats, so don't cut them out completely!
If you incorporate at least two of each of these foods listed above into each of your meals every day, along with fresh vegetables and fruits, you will be golden... and should feel much better!

I have appointed a Secretary of Semantics—a most important post. He is to furnish me forty- to fifty-dollar words. Tell me how to say yes and no in the same sentence without a contradiction. He is to tell me the combination of words that will put me against inflation in San Francisco and for it in New York. He is to show me how to keep silent—and say everything. You can very well see how he can save me an immense amount of worry.
Then I have appointed a Secretary of Reaction. I want him to abolish flying machines and tell me how to restore ox carts, oar boats, and sailing ships. What a load he can take off my mind if he will put the atom back together so it cannot be broken up. What a worry that will abolish for both me and Vyshinsky. I have appointed a Secretary for Columnists.
His duties are to listen to all radio commentators, read all columnists in the newspapers from ivory tower to lowest gossip, coordinate them, and give me the result so I can run the United States and the world as it should be. I have several able men in reserve besides the present holder of the job, because I think in a week or two, the present Secretary for Columnists will need the services of a psychiatrist and will in all probability end up in St. Elizabeth's.

Chemical reconstruction of skin scars therapy using 100% trichloroacetic Acid in the treatment of atrophic facial post varicella scars: a pilot study.
Summary of "Chemical reconstruction of skin scars therapy using 100% trichloroacetic Acid in the treatment of atrophic facial post varicella scars: a pilot study."
Chickenpox (varicella) is a common viral disease caused by Varicella zoster virus. Facial atrophic scars after varicella infection are not uncommon and pose a cosmetic problem. Like atrophic scars of other aetiologies, they are a difficult condition to treat. There are not enough references in the literature regarding efficient treatment of post varicella scars. High strength Trichloroacetic acid (TCA), which is known to cause dermal collagen remodelling, was used to treat varicella scars in the present study.

TVP Discussion38,334 Views / EMail This Post / Print This Post / Home » TVP Discussion
By Giriraj Swami
Yesterday I visited Dandavats. com to see the discussion about the design of the TVP, and I saw Tattvavit Prabhu's letter, which included a sentence from a letter from me to him, which was featured by the editors of the Web site on the front page. And so I thought to clarify my position.
What I probably should have written was "I too have heard devotees express dissatisfaction with the present design, and I encourage the GBC or the team in charge to consider their views." I wanted the team to elicit devotees' responses, consider them, and in turn explain their considerations to the devotees–to encourage healthy exchange and perhaps also improve the temple's design. Personally, I completely support Ambarisa Prabhu and his team's effort–whatever the final design.
Comments • [comment feed]
Yes, this Dandavats website provides a nice forum for devotees to exchange views and take inspiration from each other.
It can get a little rough and tumble at times, and I pity the poor editors who have to decide what comments are possibly too incendiary, but it is important to get a sense that momentous decisions are not being made without at least soliciting and considering the views and feelings of "ordinary" devotees.
(I guess "ordinary devotee" is an oxymoron.)
[And likewise, when sharing our views and feelings, we all need to remember how important it is to take into consideration the feelings and anxieties of those who are making momentous decisions on behalf of ISKCON]
My Vyasa Puja offering this year consisted of some meditations on Prabhupada's instruction that we will show our love for him by how we cooperate in serving him. Of course there are so many ways to show our love, so why did he single out "cooperation" as so important?
To learn to live peacefully in the society of devotees, in spite of our variety of personalities and differences of opinions, may not be easy, but it is imperative. What other society would we want to live in? And how will we eventually learn to live among Krishna's eternally-liberated associates?
I have heard some people express fears that email blog forums can fan "flames" of disagreement, and they certainly can, but they also can and do strengthen community and understanding in a complex, growing and international society.
International — Krishna consciousness cuts across all material boundaries of caste, creed and culture
Society — Krishna is not static, impersonal or solitary, but surrounds Himself with countless varieties of loving devotees engaged in harmonious lila
For — The essence of yajna is dedication to the satisfaction of the Beneficiary. As the rabbi said, "If I am only for myself, what am I?"
Krishna — The all attractive Supreme Personality of Godhead (need I say more?)
Consciousness — … is what separates living things from dull matter. Life force is Caitanya. When our consciousness is reposed in devotional service of Krishna, it demonstrates its full beauty and potential. Otherwise, it is covered by different degrees of dust and lust, and becomes increasingly dull, ugly and mundane.
I think the discussion on the TVP is an example of how devotees can have different opinions but will resolve to come together and cooperate to fulfill Srila Prabhupada's orders.
One thing about "cooperation": Prabhupada has written that Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur wanted the Gaudiya Math leaders to form a governing body and cooperate for preaching, and did not appoint an "acarya." Prabhupada therefore made a point to establish and train a GBC in ISKCON.
I do not know what it all means, but there seems to be something important about devotees being able to "cooperate" for preaching and not necessarily needing one top "devotee-in-charge" or "pope".
For one thing, if we really mean what we say about Krishna consciousness bringing peace and harmony and defeating the quarrelsomeness of the age of Kali (see, Prabhupada's "Preface" to Srimad Bhagavatam: "We must know the present need of human society . . ."), then we ought to be able to show an example of how at least the devotees can work harmoniously together. If Kali yuga (in the form of unnecessary quarreling) is thriving even in the society of devotees, then what is the hope for the rest of the world?
If we think about it, most of the things devotees quarrel about really boil down to different ideas about how better to spread the message of Lord Caitanya. We are like the children who, in arguing over who would better massage their father, actually began fighting, pulling his limbs violently and hurting him.
Maybe some personal motivation or ambition for distinction, adoration and profit sometimes creeps in, but mostly we just sincerely differ on what will be more successful in pleasing Prabhupada. The Mayapur TVP may be a good case in point.
What's the solution? I don't know, but I think devotees should try to better appreciate each others' sincere service and try to recognize that there is plenty of service to go around. Like-minded devotees should work happily with each other in their own groups.
From time to time we should reappraise what seems to be working ("we judge by the results") and make adjustments accordingly, taking advantage of the generous advice of those who have achieved success.
We have to listen to the senior devotees who teach about Vaisnava etiquette and how important it is to properly respect the Vaisnavas.
I also thought Jayadvaita Swami's Vyasa Puja offering this year about "personal integrity", ethics and morals, was very important. We should treat *everybody* with fairness, respect and integrity, and then how much more carefully must we treat Krishna's dear devotees?

Last Train to Paradise: Henry Flagler and the Spectacular Rise and Fall of…
by Les Standiford
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Frankly, I have no idea how I ran across this very interesting book. Henry Flagler, one of the last great industrialists and oil barons, built a railroad across the Florida Keys, a feat that had been considered impossible, in order to capitalize on the proximity of Cuba to the nascent Panama Canal. He had already virtually built the state of Florida by buying and developing land all along the east coast, then linking his hotel properties via rail. His Key West Railroad, an extension of the Florida East Coast Railroad, would connect Miami to Key West, about 153 miles, much of it over open water. A massive hurricane in 1935 undid it all. The Weather Bureau did not begin naming hurricanes until 1953, so in 1935 as Hemingway viewed the sketchy forecasts and storm warnings with alarm, he had no way of referring to the specific storm that was about to destroy Key West.
Unbeknownst to him, just to the north, the barometer had fallen to the lowest ever recorded. The islands of the Florida Keys are not very high above the water, making them especially vulnerable to storms and waves. Despite this knowledge, Henry Flagler had built the dream extension of his railroad in a magnificent feat of engineering. Nature was about to suggest that he shouldn't have bothered. Considering that Flagler in 1898 was sixtyeight years old and could have easily retired to a luxurious existence, it is even more remarkable that he would have risked his fortune on such a risky venture. The Spanish-American War, which cost Spain Cuba, provided the added incentive he needed. (It is interesting to speculate what might have happened had William Jennings Bryan been elected president instead of McKinley, who was a great friend to business. Bryan, I suspect, would not have been drawn into the skullduggery behind the sinking of the Maine.)
Having been thwarted in his desire to build a deep-water port in Miami, Flagler deemed Key West a logical alternative. The engineering difficulties were staggering. Special dredges on boats were designed to carve out a way for themselves as they used the material pulled from the swamps and marshes to create the roadbed. Mosquitoes swarmed all during the day, and portending the disaster that was to befall the railroad in 1935, a hurricane killed many workers in 1906 as the special dormitory barges were smashed. Several long bridges had to span many miles of ocean, and the seven-mile viaduct, considered a beautiful structure, became the symbol of the Florida East Coast Railroad. The Keys, originally an unbroken stretch of land that connected present-day Florida to Mexico are simply the vestigial remains of that land bridge subject to eons of erosion and storms — unless, of course, you are a young earth advocate in which case it was five minutes. That is a problem for builders because storms continue to push walls of water twenty to thirty feet high in front of them. These storm surges would course through the natural passageways that had been cut between the remaining land forms. Any blockage of these waterways would cause tremendous problems.
The railroad builders, who had filled in shorter distances between land areas, were creating unnatural dikes. They were swept away in the first hurricane to batter the railroad in 1909. Flagler and his engineers revised their plans and built more bridges that permitted water to flow underneath rather than impede its flow. They also discovered that the natural limestone marl made a much better substrate than imported rock and gravel, which was easily washed away. The line was completed slightly ahead of schedule despite several setbacks and shortly before Flagler's death. It had cost him most of his fortune to build, but never made money. Instead of encouraging growth on the Keys, there is evidence it might have done the opposite. Many residents chose to leave the islands and migrated to Miami on the railroad. Traffic from Cuba never amounted to much, and by 1930 the Census Bureau reported that Key West had actually lost more than seven thousand residents.
The worst hurricane in United States history, on Labor Day 1935, washed everything away. Winds in excess of 200 mph were measured. Given that the winds in only 3 percent of tornadoes exceed 206 mph you can get an idea of the devastation caused on a series of islands that were barely above sea level. ("A minimal 75-mile-per-hour storm has the capability of propelling a shard of two-by-four lumber through a four-inch concrete block wall." Bear in mind that when wind speed doubles, its force quadruples. Hurricane Andrew in 1992 produced only 155 mph winds.) Weather forecasting was still in its infancy, but the railroad, given its earlier experience with hurricanes, had implemented several measures to help provide some warning. Nevertheless, loss of life was extensive and an emergency relief train sent to take people off the keys was blown away. The well-built bridges survived, indeed they were partly used to build the highway that now links the Keys to the mainland, but the railroad was bankrupt by then, and the rights-of-way were sold to the state for not even one-twentieth of the $30 million Flagler had spent on building the Keys Extension. His chain of world-class resorts still remains as a monument to the man who virtually created Florida.
This is a great read for all you Floridians, and snowbirds, who owe at least a little gratitude to Henry Flagler, for 'trailblazing' South Florida, and helping to make it as much a paradise (perhaps lost) as he did approx 100 years ago.
A terrific book about one of Florida's founders - history as adventure!
Fascinating story of a man who was rich beyond compare and equal to John D Rockefeller, who began an entirely new career at age 51. At first blush his dream of building a railway south from Miami to Key West must seem foolish, but then to do big things one must dream big things, and HMF did dream big. Florida would eventually have been exploited but no one would have thought of a railway going to sea. One huge hurricane nearly ended it and another 29 years later did finish it. But what a dream.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0609607480, Hardcover)In Last Train to Paradise novelist Les Standiford has written a lively, felicitous account of the building of the Florida East Coast Railway, which, for a little over two decades, connected mainland Florida with Key West. Henry Morrison Flagler, John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil partner and, in many eyes, the true genius behind that company, embarked on the project in 1905 when he was 74 years old. The railroad, which crossed more than 150 miles of open sea, was an engineering feat nearly equal in scale and difficulty to the digging of the Panama Canal. Standiford's narrative skillfully blends tales of construction perils (not the least of which were escadrilles of mosquitoes) with brief, illuminating travelogues and natural histories, pocket descriptions of life in early 20th-century Florida, and a truly gripping description of an epic standoff between Mother Nature, in the form of a monstrous hurricane, and a stalled, 160-ton steam locomotive. With nary a single missed note, this fascinating tale is popular history at its best. --H. O'Billovich

...that coworkers have taken my leftovers from the fridge. The lunch special is a terrific bargain. The place can get packed and the service a little aloof, however, so make sure you call ahead of time for take-out so you don't have to wait.

Great food but, felt a little rushed to leave. It's small and the tables are close together so it's great atmosphere however, this means they want turnover! Overall, would definitely go back again!!!!
Posted by Anonymous on 08/09/2007
This is definitely one of my favorite places. The food is insanely cheap and the chicken and tostones are awesome. It's also my favorite place for Sangria!!! The Jalea is the only thing that's a bit of a waste. If you try the new location on 94th and Amsterdam, they have a great Seafood salad (Pacifico) as well as a tasty fried rice.

Order from Pio Pio and you will wonder how you ever lived without it. The chicken is amazing but watch out for that green sauce - it may burn your mouth but you may not be able to stop eating it. A whole chicken may be too much - a half chicken should suffice. ALL the sides are delicious too, so go nuts. They are usually so overcrowded in their very small space, that you will probably have to wait. If ordering over the phone be sure to speak clearly (the restaurant is usually so buzzing they may get your order wrong).

Pio Pio Restaurant is excellent in Chicken, it's great! ... But... only the chicken is good on this restaurant located on the East Side, because the Ceviche... ooohhh, I'm sorry, but, it's the worst ceviche that I had on my life, with old lemon, and tastes terrible, and the tamal oh my god! it's terrible too, without salt and no flavor, so bad. Again the chicken is great! And if you go to the new Pio Pio on 94 St. and Amsterdam, Wow! the ceviche is really delicious! and the tamal is excellent.... also: Corvina Inka! mmm delicious. I'm surprised, because it's the same owner, and they have to be care for to have the same food in every place, Pio Pio have many other restaurants in Queens and Brooklyn too. The chicken is great in every of their places, but the rest of the food on the East Side mmm not good, I'm sorry, I just want to be honest.

A little cramped at the restaurant, but great to order delivery from. Chicken is always consistent and the sauce they serve is awesome. Great neighborhood spot!

The Baltimore school system failed to follow its policies when hiring a temporary employee who allegedly misrepresented himself as a child therapist and is now charged with raping a teen.
City school officials said Shawn Nowlin, a 27-year-old arrested Nov. 26 on charges that he impregnated a 15-year-old in Harford County, was hired in September 2011 to oversee "partnership coordination" and act as a community liaison at Hazelwood Elementary/Middle School under the title "Temporary Professional II."
Nowlin was employed for a year under that title, but the rules say temporary workers' employment cannot exceed 90 days. In addition, according to the policy approved by the school board in 2001, the system's department of human resources must review all applications for short-term employees. But school officials said this week that hiring managers, who are often principals, are responsible for vetting their credentials.
Officials have said they don't know whether Nowlin was vetted and that they are still investigating his specific duties at Hazelwood. School system spokesman Michael Sarbanes said Friday that Nowlin was "asserting credentials he didn't actually have."
Nowlin was hired to the temporary position at $20 per hour and earned a total of $25,145, school officials said. Under the hiring rules, his title includes teachers and other educators. He later secured a contract under a different title.
City schools CEO Andrés Alonso said in response to an inquiry from The Baltimore Sun that he plans to meet with central office staff on Monday and principals by the end of next week to discuss the issue. He said he did not attend a meeting this week with parents — who demanded to know why the schools chief has stayed quiet — because he was out of the office for a family emergency.
"This is an important and sensitive issue, and I do not want to react without understanding exactly what happened, both at the school and district level, since obviously balls were dropped," he said.
Alonso said he has "been gathering the facts" over the past week.
On Friday, school system officials did not respond to questions about Nowlin's temporary employment and the hiring rules.
The district's Parent and Community Advisory Board said in a statement that it requested a meeting with Alonso to discuss security measures at schools.
"PCAB believes that it is critical that all contractual staff in schools be properly vetted and that their roles within the school be clearly defined," said board member Melanie Hood-Wilson.
School officials have vowed that they will tighten guidelines for the hiring of temporary employees, which they said weren't "crystal clear," particularly about checking of credentials.
Officials also said that principals are often the people responsible for verifying the academic and professional backgrounds of the employees they hire, while the central office conducts criminal background checks, which they said Nowlin passed. The principals union president said all of those responsibilities lie with the district's human resources office.
A reference guide published for employees for the 2013 fiscal year reads, "Under no circumstances can temporary employees begin work prior to receiving official notification from the Office of Human Capital."
Child abuse experts say credential checks should be the most clear-cut measure a school can take to protect children.
"Parents should be able to rest comfortably knowing that the people who are in their children's building are who they say they are," said Adam Rosenberg, executive director of the Baltimore Child Abuse Center. "If [school officials] can't take that level of due diligence, how is there any level of safety and comfort?"
Human resources experts say vetting responsibility should always stay in one centralized location.
Jonna Contacos-Sawyer, president of the Johnstown, Pa.-based HR Consultants, said employers should always vet job candidates, including checks for criminal background, verifying degrees and professional licenses, and running credit reports.
"You really need to do a thorough background check," Contacos-Sawyer said.
