Whether they like to admit it or not, athletes are a superstitious bunch. Some guys need to take the same route to the arena before every game. Some pitchers don't like to step on the base lines when they leave the mound and head to the dugout. You hear all sorts of crazy things athletes do to not jinx themselves.
Basketball players are no different. Some guys have to wear certain shoes or get dressed the same way every time. Others listen to a certain kind of music or song, and still others like to read.

A makeshift laundry line stretches across the back entrance to the Walis' Boise apartment. It sags with drying kids' clothes. Zahra Wali would love to use one of the apartment's dryers to finish this load, but that would cost too much money. She spends about $5 every day washing clothes.
Laundry is an expensive undertaking. Zahra and her husband Khaled—both Iraqi refugees—have eight young children. The family arrived in Boise nearly five months ago, and their new life has been rocky. Without jobs, they have to watch every cent. So doing the laundry adds to the stress of resettling.
That's on top of everything else this family has endured to come to the United States. Khaled Wali was a truck driver in Baghdad. He worked with a U.S. military contractor. That made him and his family targets for the militias. Speaking through an interpreter, he tells how the militias killed his brother and then went after him. The family fled to Syria where they lived for a year and half before finding out they would be resettled in Boise.
- Sadie Babits
- Zahra (far left) and Khaled Wali (far right) and all eight of their children sit together at the family's small Boise apartment. The Walis arrived in Boise five months ago.
Iraqi refugees, like the Walis, are some of the most traumatized refugees being resettled in the Treasure Valley, according to Marla Lipscomb, a counselor at Family Medicine Residency of Idaho and Tidwell Social Work Services and Consulting.
"What we know is that many more refugees aren't getting mental health care and often the first time they receive mental health care, it's in the ER," Lipscomb said. To illustrate the psychological stresses placed on refugee families, Lipscomb takes a small bag and adds a rock to it. As she places more rocks into this "bag of burdens," Lipscomb told an overflow group of counselors, teachers and caseworkers at the inaugural Idaho Conference on Refugees in Boise, refugee clients may begin to understand the role of mental health in their lives.
Mental health referrals made by resettlement agencies have increased in recent years although there aren't any solid numbers yet. Lipscomb said education in the community about refugee mental health has played a role but more needs to be done.
"Given the traumatic histories of refugee populations and the stressors they experience during resettlement, almost every refugee would benefit from counseling services that are adapted to effectively serve refugee populations," she said.
There are now 380 Iraqi refugees living in Boise, and most of them arrived last year, right as the U.S. economy turned south. New arrivals are having a hard time finding work.
"You know the difference between an American not having a job, and a refugee, is that most Americans have a safety net of some kind built in," said Leslye Moore, the regional director of the International Rescue Committee in Boise. "Refugees don't have anything to fall back on so it's a much more terrifying experience for them knowing there's no work for them out there and wondering what their future is going to be."
The Walis face this reality every day. Khaled Wali looks exhausted and he is. He explains he doesn't sleep at night. The Walis live on federal assistance, getting $1,100 a month for rent and utilities and $1,200 a month in food stamps. They also get Medicaid. In three months, some of this federal help gets cut back. So the International Rescue Committee is working with the family to make sure they have affordable housing and that things like food stamps and Medicaid don't disappear. To make matters worse, Khaled Wali hasn't found work.
Unemployment in Idaho is the highest it's been in more than 20 years. That's increased competition for entry-level jobs, which have historically been a good fit for refugees. Already one Iraqi family in Boise faces eviction, and more refugee families are dealing with the same possibility. The unknown intensifies the mental anguish refugees already carry.
This wasn't the life the Walis imagined America offering. Both Khaled and Zahra Wali talked of paradise in the United States, where they and their family would be cared for. That vision included a new house, TV and plenty of money. None of that has happened. The family lives in a cramped low-income apartment. The walls are bare. The TV is small and used. So is the furniture.
"Due to globalization, many of the refugees' perception of the U.S. is the wealth that they have seen on television or have heard about from others prior to resettlement. Refugees aren't told that they will be living in poverty as it is defined in the United States," Lipscomb said.
The disillusionment intensifies when refugees like Khaled Wali can't find work or can't pay their rent. "For the Iraqi population, this reality can be even more difficult, as this is their first time living in relative poverty," Lipscomb said.
The majority of Iraqi refugees are highly skilled and well educated. But their credentials and education often aren't recognized in the United States. "Imagine for a moment how you would feel if you no longer could do what you loved most or could no longer contribute to society in ways that you are skilled and qualified," explained Lipscomb.
Refugees, like the Walis, often arrive in Boise suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety. These stresses often intensify during resettlement. Refugees must learn a new language, find a job and learn to navigate the city. Moore spoke about finding refugees homes and helping them get that first job. But she said all of that work is like a Band-Aid: "If their heart is broken, if they are depressed and dealing with trauma, that person will never thrive unless that's resolved. It's the core of everything."
Yet, seeking psychological help is often seen as taboo. Iraqi refugees, for example, are usually familiar with psychotherapy, but they worry about the stigma.
"One barrier to accessing and receiving these services is fear that others will know," said Lipscomb. That's why she believes it's critical for counselors to protect privacy and reaffirm the rules of confidentiality. Counselors are now scheduling Iraqi clients, for example, at different times so they don't see one another.
Still, Lipscomb believes Idaho still has a long way to go.
"There are continued systematic barriers to accessing and receiving services that must be addressed," she said. That includes having a greater understanding of refugee resettlement and the cultural and historical backgrounds of refugee populations.
Moore said that three years ago when she came to Boise, mental health providers were largely focused on talk therapies—a Western mental health practice. Now they are exploring more alternative therapies that help connect with refugees. There's a waiting list for mental health services, especially for Medicaid patients. Moore said sometimes refugees wait a couple of months before getting in to see a counselor. And the current economic picture could spell bad news for Medicaid, forcing the state to cut back services.
Lipscomb dreams that one day Boise will have a medical and mental health clinic dedicated to refugees. The staff would include refugees who would work as cultural experts and health advisers. It's a model she believes would make mental health care accessible and welcoming to all cultures.
Back at the refugee conference, with a bag full of rocks, Lipscomb takes them out, one by one. "This can be confusing to refugees." Lipscomb explained. "The taxi came and picked them up, and they are meeting the provider for the first time. My job is to take these rocks out one by one."

Rio De Janiero, Brazil
January 29th, 2009: Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu Grandmaster Helio Gracie dies of pneumonia at age 95, leaving behind an impressive legacy among the worlds martial arts community.
Gracie, the father and grandfather of several highly respected and successful BJJ/NHB fighters, is credited for his unique approach towards the development of the art.
Now considered the pioneering Innovator of Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu, Helio Gracie was actually born a frail child stricken with a rather fragile constitution. However, this soon changed after he started learning Jiu-jitsu from his older brother Carlos. With his health improved, as a teenager, Helio assumed much of the teaching at his brothers school.
Helio Gracies slight physical appearance, weighing only around 145 pounds, belied his actual fighting abilities. Due to his outstanding and innovative technical skills, he went on to defeat nearly all of his challengers for years, as his reputation as a fearsome competitor continued to grow to an unparalleled status in Brazil.
As his accumulative knowledge grew, Helio began to complete the development of his own personal approach towards the original Japanese version of Jujitsu that hed learned from his older brother, emphasizing greater leverage, revised techniques and precise postioning, until his own adaptations made it apparent that it then stood apart entirely.
It was Gracies contributions that would eventually change forever the way ground-fighting was approached throughout the entire martial arts community.
Intending to distinguish his style of Jiu-Jitsu from the increasingly popular sport form of BJJ, Helio began to refer to his familys version of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, eventually gaining worldwide recognition soon after his son, Royce, won his first Ultimate Fighting Championship, which was actually created by another Gracie, Rorion, the founder of the now hugely popular martial-arts combat sport.
In his last few years of life, the senior Gracie became somewhat dissatisfied with the sport of BJJ, claiming that the sport became too commercialized. He claimed that the particular rules and timed rounds were becoming futile. Helio thought that his vision of BJJ was designed for a smaller person to be able to apply leverage and technical positioning against a larger or physically stronger opponent, instead of being resigned to compete within a regulated weight-class that had become determined by a sanctioning body or governing commission.
According to Gracie ...
"This favors the stronger, heavier and better trained fighter. The Jiu-Jitsu that I created was designed to give the smaller and weaker fighters a good chance at defeating their bigger and stronger opponents".

In crafting stories, our image of each character would be their outward appearance. Most of the time, we see this through the eyes of other characters, which is the way most storytellers convey this kind of information. I can only think of two instances where I expand on what a character looks like from their viewpoint.
In Contraband, I confined this to the unusual colour of the character's eyes and their power to intimidate other people. Word to the wise: your character can look like a narcissistic idiot if you have him or her looking in the mirror for the purpose of giving the reader a visual impression. Even worse, your writing may come across as that of someone inexperienced if you have the main character describing himself.
Another aspect of image is the way in which others think about your main character. Nothing says more about a person than the way others see him. Is he brisk, but polite? Is he firm, but fair? Is he businesslike, but takes time to listen? Think about someone you've heard about before meeting them. Didn't the 411— or as we say in Jamaica, the bill and receipt—on them colour your opinion? It's one thing to see how he thinks of himself, and quite another to know what people think of him. So, having other people in the story expressing their thoughts about the main character is an effective way of rounding out their personality.
Then there is the perception we attach to certain positions and people. Some of us tend not to look too far beyond stereotypes. If someone dresses for success, we may not look any further than physical evidence before we draw our own conclusion about them. Many an unsuspecting person has been scammed by well-dressed, articulate people. It is easy and natural to equate a stylish man with a certain type of behavior, and think the same of a well-heeled woman, only to be shocked by crass behavior from either of them. Politicians are a good example of this. They look good and sound good until their part in a scandal is revealed.
Another useful method is to show how the character sees himself. In Contraband, my protagonist recognizes that he's made some dangerous choices, but acknowledges what led him to them, and bargains with himself as to when he'll give up trading in illegal merchandise. You can't get a better view of a character than when he takes an honest look at himself.
The way we deal with our problems also tells a lot about who we are. We perhaps work out our challenges without talking about them, or moan to whoever will listen. One approach speaks to resilience, while the other reflects a character who does little to change his situation or relies on others to help sort out his difficulties. Providing our readers with situations in which our protagonist can exercise his problem-solving abilities is another way to create a complete image of that individual.
Your protagonist's relationships also tell a lot about him. How does he treat his sick mother? Does he dote on her or is he impatient? Does he make time to visit her? If he's the boss, how does he treat his employees? Is he rude and demanding or does he say please and thank you, even though he's the one calling the shots? How does he treat his love interest? Is he charming and urbane or is he proud and obnoxious? In his dealings with people who can't repay him for his kindness, how does he act? Humble or conceited? The way we treat our associates, or those we are related to, says much about who we are at heart.
These are the main ways I use to show readers the qualities that make up my characters. What other ways do you use to give readers an accurate picture of your characters? Do you agree that an inner view of a person is as important as what others think of him?

After an eighteen-month mission in India, Dancer & Designer Renee Kurz spent more than a month with us in our Brooklyn Center. Here is her account of her 'Between Homes Experience', as she puts it.
One month after I was home in Arkansas… from my home in India… I returned to my home in New York. And the month and a half I spent with my Brooklyn Heart's Home family comforted my heart with the truth that I will forever have a home within Heart's Home. A home whose door they assure me is always open… with a welcome that calms the storm within a transition full of tender mourning for the life I had discovered in mission and now the realm of possibilities for the endless "what's next?" questions. It's about going from an awareness of standing at the edge of my life, the finality of my life, in a context that always led me into the mystery and meaning… back, but really a forward back, into the familiar unknown reality of home. Proving to be almost even more challenging than when I arrived in India… because now my eyes have changed and the criteria by which I want to live has been transformed.
How easy it is to return to a complacency that kills the mystery, or fogs my eyes from regarding His presence among us here, in a place that I've seen before; a place that does not have the firefly twinkling trees or the ropes of scented jasmine buds… the flocking to me of bright eyed children in the street or the contemplative grandmother awaiting my passing by. The mission is filled with many special graces that enlarges the eye of the soul, and this enlarging I believe is allowed then, to serve me now. My time in Heart's Home Brooklyn was a gift to continue the teaching of my heart, so that I may see the clusters of light in the dark and the cry within the smiles of my people, my family, and my friends. Discovering little by little how to continue living the mission of compassion immersed within the culture of dance and design. Discoveries that occurred in the simple acts of meeting friends for coffee, visiting the nursing home, taking dance classes, sewing clothes, praying with the community, welcoming visitors, and sharing about my mission. And the biggest discovery: unity within all of who I am does not arrive out of my willing it nor out of my own efforts— it is given. But I must be awake to receive the gift.
I arrived in Brooklyn at the beginning of May, right in the midst of the organizing and putting on of the annual Heart's Home fundraising gala. Preparing table décor, proof-reading speeches, making my dress… loading the van, setting the tables, folding the napkins… turning the National Bohemian Hall on the Upper East Side of Manhattan into a space with demonstrates our efforts to create a home for everyone's heart. It was a very special moment for me to witness the expansion and growth of Heart's Home USA; I was full of immense gratitude to be a part of such a great thing. I, along with many present, realized further or even for the first time how much I need the friendship of Heart's Home in my life. Hearing the words of the artist Sean Scully say in receiving the Compassion Award that "We do the same thing"… both striving to re-humanize a culture that devalues the dignity of human life. Re-humanizing through his eye of simplicity and beauty and purity of line; through the way he lives his life. I want my art to live out of this same gaze of compassion.

SunLink Taps Financial Security Tech Exec as new VP of Software Engineering
San Rafael, Calif., December 2, 2015 — SunLink Corporation continues to grow its executive bench strength with the addition of James Ray as vice president of software engineering. Bringing a wealth of experience from the financial security space, James joins SunLink as the company rolls out its expanded suite of PowerCare services, including intelligent, next-generation SCADA solutions built for electrical grid security, manageability and stability that represent a convergence of proven technologies and industry innovation.
"There are substantial parallels between the technology and solar sectors, and the convergence of the two will propel solar forward much faster than it is currently progressing. By leveraging James' proven expertise in financial security technology, SunLink is able to leapfrog our development of the technology platforms our industry so desperately needs," explains SunLink CEO Michael Maulick. "As an energy solutions company, SunLink is committed to solving the challenges to widespread solar adoption, both physically and politically. I firmly believe some of the key catalysts for growth in our industry are the proper integration, operation and security, and monitoring of the grid attachments. We're very excited to have James' expertise on the team to lead our efforts."
SunLink is investing significant human and financial resources in response to the industry's need for solar energy stability and the even more pressing national and global demand to reduce grid-related security vulnerabilities. The platform James' team is building incorporates tokenization, data analytics and elements of machine learning to bring the operations and maintenance (O&M) for solar installations to a new level. These solutions will provide security rivaling that employed by financial institutions together with advanced sensing technology and analytics for superior business intelligence.
"The key is to create a secure platform that maintains an open environment and can coexist with SCADA systems without security risks," Michael continues. "James is well versed in what has impeded the financial industry's quest for new technologies like EMV and tokenization. That's why his expertise is so valuable to SunLink and the solar industry as a whole – because we can leverage lessons already learned to implement tokenization in scale ahead of the financial sector. For example, thanks to Siemens' (SIEGn.DE, SIE:GR) long-standing efforts to provide consistency, the number of barriers to achieve the same results in energy is very low. The energy industry just needs an innovation jump start on this front, and we're eager to provide one!"
Prior to joining SunLink, James Ray served as founder and CEO of financial services consulting company, IdeasX, consulting for several Fortune 500 companies and large, multi-national banking institutions. Before that, he was the president and CEO of Size Technologies until the company was acquired by First Data in January of 2007, and he continued to run First Data's San Francisco office after the acquisition during which time he developed several new profit lines of business for them. Previous roles included president and chief technology officer at DoughNET.com, and CTO and COO for global advertising agency Publicis & Hal Riney.
"I see a tremendous opportunity for SunLink to continue to advance the solar industry by retrofitting the scalable, cost effective and secure systems I have dedicated my career to implementing in the financial sector," said James. "With solar penetration on the grid increasing at a rapid pace and grid security playing such a significant role in national security, it's essential that the solar industry employ the same sorts of control mechanisms and security protocols that the financial industry relies on to protect our financial infrastructure. I'm excited to help SunLink advance the energy industry in this regard."
About SunLink
SunLink Corporation brings powerful solar energy solutions to market through innovative, highly engineered products and in-demand customer services that make solar PV electricity easier, safer, more reliable and less expensive to install. In addition to bringing to market well-designed products that are agile in their implementation, the company leverages unparalleled R&D, a legacy of more than a GW of successful projects, state-of-the-art engineering and creative problem solving to develop optimized, full-scope product+service solutions for roof and ground-mount solar projects of every size and complexity. It is this unique combination of trusted insights, products and services that helps solar developers and installers overcome obstacles and furthers the industry's shared mission of advancing universal solar power adoption.

WOW! JUST WOW!! All of your comments from yesterday's post blew me away. Thank you so much for keeping my little family in your thoughts and prayers (T&Ps). I have the most amazing readers!!
Today, I am doing much better. I accomplished a lot on my GSDF and I'm looking forward to meeting up with some of my Arthritis Walk Committee members to talk about the AF Development Conference that took place in Las Vegas back in August. We're having a debrief so other committee members know what was said and we can plan accordingly for the new Denver Arthritis Walk season. I think it will be a lot of fun. 🙂
I've decided to take on the #Gratefulgram challenge on Instagram.
If you would like to join in on the challenge with me, be sure to let me know. I'd love to see what you're grateful for.
Now onto the fun part:
- When I couldn't take anymore of this week, I turned to this and had a great laugh!
- This quote spoke true meaning this week.
- This idea would go well with a Christmas Cookie Party.
- Perfect Fall Decor for a girl on a budget.
- Simple craft with a BIG impact!
- Who wants to do this with me?
- This is a very clever Holiday Gift! I wonder if I could recreate it for cheaper?
Much Love,

ORLANDO -- The image is engraved in Lou Frey`s mind. A country in political turmoil, a president in disgrace, a quiet transition of power -- a lesson that ``the system`` works.
On Aug. 9, 1974, Frey was among a group of close friends invited to the White House to witness Gerald Ford take the oath of office and become president of the United States. As a group they watched Richard Nixon leave Washington and the reins of power behind -- without a fight.
Even today, as he runs for Florida`s highest office, Frey speaks of that day with awe because of its significance.
``Some of the young kids talk about how it proved the system doesn`t work. I say it proved the system does work,`` Frey says of the Nixon resignation. ``Anyone can be super during the good times. But when it`s bad, that`s when you really have to hold it all together.``
Faith in the American political system is something Frey still carries with him in his fight to become governor despite two bitter defeats in previous statewide elections. The popular five-term congressman from Winter Park was a key GOP leader in the U.S. House of Representatives before he lost a tough runoff battle for governor in 1978. A political comeback in 1980 failed as he lost a bitter fight for the U.S. Senate.
In debt, with children ready for college, he expected to leave politics behind and immerse himself in the business world. He is now part owner of several television stations. But earlier this year, Frey, 52, decided to make one more run at the state`s highest post.
``Any race is tough to lose. I don`t know anyone who enjoys it,`` Frey said of his past election failures. ``But I feel all the work I did hasn`t been wasted. I`m pretty happy about me and I`m pretty happy about life.``

lines by @Eriot
I did the coloring. I normally go over the lines with a pen tool but I didn't do that this time.
yep, I can confirm I still don't like coloring or drawing stuff lol. Though there are some things I want to finish. My back and neck was hurting by the end of this. This took roughly 3 hours or so to color. I this is basically the only digital coloring I have done since March. But I did at least pick up an interesting coloring method using gradients that can be seen in the video.
I also felt like it was time to include a umichan song I never uploaded, you might be able to guess the song reference heh. It talks about the rivalry between Maiko and Luma from the view of her girlfriends. such as Riley and others.
and everyone is so cool! heh

In the weeks after Tropical Storm Irene caused widespread flooding in Vermont, the role of the National Guard changed from getting emergency food and medical supplies to cutoff towns to helping state transportation crews rebuild roads into those towns.Vermont farmers grappling with silt, sand from Irene, Burlington Free Press
Wednesday, nearly eight months after the storm, Gov. Peter Shumlin and other officials announced they'd been told of a change in federal policy that's likely to be seen as good news by state emergency responders around the country: The Federal Highway Administration says it will reimburse state National Guard units when they pitch in to do emergency road repair work.
"National Guard troops were vital to Vermont's recovery effort, saving lives and property in the hardest-hit areas, and helping with road and bridge repair," Shumlin said.
With the FHWA agreement that it will pay $4 million to reimburse the Guard's road work, that much will be freed up for the state to use elsewhere in ongoing efforts to rebuild from the storm, Shumlin said.
Most of the refuse left behind from Tropical Storm Irene — televisions, refrigerators, books and toys — has been cleared from the pastures and fields of Liberty Hill Farm along the White River. But the flood waters also deposited a layer of gravel, sand and silt that is choking grass in some spots of the normally rich, loamy soil and hampering spring planting of other feed crops for their dairy cows.Vt. trash bill loaded with bottle bill, bag ban, WCAX
"There's still a tremendous amount of work to do up and down the valley," said farmer Beth Kennett.
More than 460 Vermont farms were damaged by Irene. Seven months later, farmers are still grappling with what the floodwaters left behind, including rocks, trees, gravel, sand and silt that has turned some fields from a fertile brown to a tinge of gray or even sandy white. The composition of the soil will affect yields.
Some farmers are paying thousands of dollars to use excavators and bulldozers to remove the debris and scrape off the silt. They're also plowing under sand and adding nutrients and paying for seed to reseed crops.
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - A bill to push recycling and stop trash from going to landfills has been caught up in a Vermont Senate committee in a debate over expanding the bottle bill and adding a ban on plastic grocery bags.Hundreds gather to protest Vt. nuclear plant, WCAX
The House passed a bill in early March calling for a study of how various waste streams are handled and setting goals for banning recyclable materials from landfills.
But as the Senate Natural Resources Committee finished work on the measure on Friday, it added two amendments. One calls for a ban on plastic grocery bags, while the other would expand the state's deposits on beverage bottles to include plastic water and juice containers.
Prospects are uncertain for the amendments when the bill moves to the Senate floor.
More than 1,000 people have turned out on the Brattleboro town green for another protest against the continued operation of the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant.Waterbury, Duxbury, Vt. launch solar initiative, WCAX
Saturday's event included speeches by U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and Gov. Peter Shumlin. Both are calling for the state's wishes to be honored and for the 40-year-old Vernon reactor to be shut down.
Shumlin offers a list of what he said were misstatements by the plant's owner, New Orleans-based Entergy Corp.
The event has drawn participants from Vermont, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The plant's emergency evacuation zone extends into the three states.
Vermont Yankee's federal license was extended, but its state permit expired last month. It won a federal court order allowing it to stay open for now.
Officials in the north central Vermont towns of Waterbury and Duxbury are launching a year-long effort in which they hope to double the number of solar-power projects in the town.Irene Recovery Group Says It Will Take Two Years To Distribute Funds, VPR
Rep. Rebecca Ellis, a member of the Vermont House and the Waterbury Select Board, says the aim is for local residents to cut energy bills and fight climate change.
Officials say 52 solar hot water and electricity generating systems already are in use in the two towns.
Local solar dealers say they're ready to step up and help the towns double that number.
Nearly eight months after Tropical Storm Irene, Vermont's Long Term Disaster Recovery Group says it's just beginning to distribute millions of dollars in donations. The money was collected to help people whose property was damaged or destroyed.Vermont disagrees with Pew study of business development incentives, Vermontbiz.com
The group says it will likely take two years for all the money to find its way to people.
Every Tuesday and Thursday, two members of the allocations committee of the Vermont Long Term Disaster Recovery Group hold a conference call with case workers in the field to go over applications for money from the statewide relief fund.
So far the committee has approved all of the applications it's received and, in short order, sent checks to families and individuals.
But they've only received 30 applications out of the hundreds they're expecting - and only $350,000 of the $3.4 million in donations in the fund has been distributed.
To understand why, the group says it's important to keep in mind that phrase 'long term disaster recovery.'
This is a fund of last resort. Only after money from FEMA, insurance and local disaster relief is tallied up are people eligible to apply to the long term fund.
The state of Vermont is calling into question a national review of state business development tax incentives. Vermont, according to a report released Wednesday by the Pew Center on the States, is one of several states that is not looking hard enough at the results of tax incentives used for economic development. Vermont is among half the states "trailing behind" in its review of these incentive policies. However, that study did not include Vermont's principal incentive program.IJC to hold public hearings on study of critical sources of phosphorus loadings to Missisquoi Bay, vermontbiz.com
The Vermont Agency of Commerce issued a statement Friday saying that while it appreciates the work done by the Pew Center for the States, including their recently released report, "Evidence Counts," an evaluation of State tax incentives for jobs and growth, it is missing a key element in its evaluation of Vermont.
The report was not clear that Vermont's current and active business incentive program, the Vermont Employment Growth Incentive (VEGI) program, was not included by the Pew Center in this evaluation. According to Josh Goodman of the Pew Center on the States, "While [the Center] was intrigued by the design of VEGI (and, in particular, your approach to "but for"), we concluded that VEGI is a cash incentive, rather than a tax incentive--it does not reduce companies' tax liabilities. Therefore, we didn't include the VEGI evaluation in our rating for Vermont."
The International Joint Commission (IJC) is inviting the public to comment on the International Missisquoi Bay Study Board's final report on phosphorus loadings to Missisquoi Bay on Lake Champlain.
In 2008, the Canadian and U.S. federal governments asked the International Joint Commission (IJC) to help them coordinate initiatives in both countries to reduce phosphorus loadings to Missisquoi Bay. The IJC appointed the International Missisquoi Bay Study Board to help it carry out this request. The study identified specific areas in the Vermont portion of the basin where efforts to control phosphorus runoff would be most cost effective.
In its final report, the Study Board provides recommendations to enhance phosphorus reduction efforts that address a number of issues including the effects of intensive cropping and animal use, phosphorus loads from streambank erosion, the application of local ranking criteria to funding decisions, the need to improve data sharing and availability, and the need for more research on the relationship between phosphorus concentration in soil and phosphorus runoff from agricultural soils.

Helen Babiy
I am a newly Licensed Reader (2014), serving in a Benefice of three very different churches in Walsall, within the Diocese of Lichfield. I am passionate for living out the gospel in practical, everyday ways in order to reach others. Through Reader training I have discovered I have a gift for communicating and a fiery passion for preaching God's word! I am married to Marc ( a fairly new Christian),who is developing Fresh Expressions in our local church; alongside leading the Children's group . We have two Daughter's who are at opposite ends of the Teenage years! In my spare time I enjoy looking after my Black Labrador, writing in a wide range of genre's and have a keen interest in all things historical; particularly from the Tudor to Victorian periods. I also enjoy driving and would one day like to experience driving a rally car!
Colin McCarty
Colin McCarty is getting on a bit – he was a Reader for 25 years and has been a Priest for 20 years. A potted bit of his present journey for Christ is: He is a self supporting minister who works full time running a small company. He is licensed to a parish of 12,000, but only takes a service once a month now that there is a part time incumbent. For the past 5 years he has been taking 2 Sunday Services a month at a Local Ecumenical Project in Red Lodge and now holds the title associate minister in the Methodist Church because of this. Much of his pastoral work is with the primary school in Red Lodge, which is the fastest growing area in Suffolk. Serving the people of Red Lodge is important as it is mainly housing for young families. Alongside this he is the Bishop's Officer for SSMs in St Edmundsbury and Ipswich Diocese. Being on the committee of the national shared Ministry Network is wonderful for his growth in learning about ministry.

Dear Sherri: If an animal you have causes damage to your vehicle, will the collision cover it? If so, is it a chargeable accident?— Pestered in New York
Dear Pestered in New York: Great question! In New York, damages caused to your vehicle by an animal would be covered, but not under the collision coverage of your policy, but under the comprehensive coverage subject to your deductible. If your best friend, Fido, decides to chew on your new Corinthian leather seats like last week's newspaper, you can make a claim. Comprehensive auto coverage also provides benefits when you have a collision with a deer or other animal. Also, if you have a picnic basket in your car Yogi Bear breaks and totally destroys the interior; your policy will cover that as well.
In response to the second part of your question; Comprehensive claims are not chargeable, however most companies are now tiered so depending on the number of incidents you have, your company could change your tier, which could result in a higher premium.
So while these things are covered by your insurance, Ask Sherri recommends you keep Fido under control, buy him his own chew-toy, and take the picnic basket with you!

2017-2018 Seasonal Flu Vaccination Campaign
Flu shot clinics for the 2017-2018 Seasonal Flu Vaccination have ended.
You can find a community site by visiting
Protect yourself, protect others – get a flu vaccine every year
Get vaccinated against the flu. Everyone 6 months of age and older should be vaccinated. The circulating strains of flu are a good match with those included in this year's vaccine.
If you are pregnant, you can and should receive the flu shot during any trimester. Pregnant women are at high risk of flu-related complications.
If immunized during pregnancy, protective antibodies help protect your baby for up to 6 months after birth
Locate other providers of flu vaccine, at
Prevent the spread of germs: Cover coughs and sneezes
Cough and sneeze into your sleeve. This prevents germs from getting on your hands, which then leave germs on the things you touch (door knobs, hand rails, light switches, etc). Flu can survive on these surfaces for several hours!
If you use a tissue to cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze, throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
Stay home when you are sick
If you or your child has a fever, stay home! You or your child should be fever-free for at least 24 hours before returning to work or school. A fever should be gone without the use of fever-reducing medicine (like Tylenol).
If you are sick, do not visit loved ones in the hospital, nursing home, or any facility housing the elderly and/or anyone in frail health. People with
certain health conditions
are more likely to have complications that result in hospitalization or even death. Limiting contact with others as much as possible while you are sick keeps you from infecting them.
Wash your hands
Wash your hands often
with soap and water.
If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
Stay informed

Weekly influenza activity estimates are available at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's

When in Philadelphia last week I was staying opposite the King of Prussia mall so after work on Monday I skipped across the car park from the hotel to have a nosy and to pick up some things for The Boy.
First stop was the pharmacy for some over the counter drugs - they really so have much better pain killers available there don't they. Then in I went. I had a plan I needed to get to Kheils and Lacoste for The Boy and they were on the same floor and section of the mall so that was my aim.
However, best laid plans and all that as the sales were still on so I did quite a bit of browsing before landing in Michael Kors. I love Michael Kors clothes - they seem to me to be made for real women, you know those that have a body that's reflects actually having enjoyed life a bit. I had always assumed that it was out of my price range but was more than pleasantly surprised that his diffusion line was very reasonable and that they had a sale on........oh dear oh dear. As I walked in the beautiful store, (light, airy, soft music, shiny things) they nices sales assistant said hello and just let me browse a bit. As I was working my way back, she just passed me and said - 'sorry the place is a bit of a mess we are just re-arranging as many more items went on sale today'. Kerching - SALE. They were putting loads of bags on the shelves at the front of the store as they were on sale - not end of the line naff but some beautiful MK bags....if I hadn't just invested in a bag I would have been tempted but managed to hold myself back.
However, I did buy a fabulous top:
(not great quality photo's I'm afraid as taken with phone)
I also bought a black jersey dress, it has a sort of cowl neck, drape and a little ruching at one side. Perfect no crease dress for travelling (I wore it for the flight home)
Both the dress and the top were $89 dollars. I also bought some shoes but have no picture so will have to sort that.
I then went to Kheils and Lacoste for The Boy - both shops had the items he wanted for the same price in dollars as in pounds and there was no purchase tax either so with the exchange rate up around the 158 mark it was a good value trip.
I had a bit more of a wander around and bought three pairs of jeans from Old Navy - whilst they are not the best quality in the world they were reduced to $19 a pair so even after the exchange charge on my bank card I got three pairs for about £38. I got two skinny pairs, one dark one lighter denim and one boot cut. It's so nice to have a pair of jeans that actually fit - one of the things I love about shopping in he US is that the sizes are much lower numbers - so a UK size 16 is a US size 12 - this makes me very happy.
Then I went to J Crew - oh my they had their autumn stock in and there were some truly lovely items but I stuck to basics and this is what I got:
All in all a great success.

The application cycle for postdoctoral fellowships for 2018–2020 is now closed.
Please note that candidates who applied previously and wish to be considered again must submit a new application.
To apply for the 2018–2020 cohort, candidates must have received their Ph.D. no earlier than July 1, 2014 and must have completed their doctoral degree by July 1, 2018. Scholars who received their doctorates from the University of Southern California are not eligible to apply. Non U.S. citizens are eligible to apply for this program.
Applicants' research and teaching must be in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. We adhere to the guidelines provided by the ACLS:
"the humanities and humanistic social sciences include but are not limited to American studies; anthropology; archaeology; art and architectural history; classics; economics; film; geography; history; languages and literatures; legal studies; linguistics; musicology; philosophy; political science; psychology (excluding clinical or counseling psychology); religious studies; rhetoric, communication, and media studies; sociology; and theater, dance, and performance studies. Proposals in the social science fields listed above are eligible only if they employ predominantly humanistic approaches (e.g., economic history, law and literature, political philosophy, history of psychology)."
Proposals are welcome from applicants with interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary projects. Proposals may focus on any period and geographic region.
The Application
Applicants will be evaluated based on their academic accomplishments, the significance and intellectual merit of their research project, and their potential to contribute to the intellectual life of the Society of Fellows, their host department, and the community of scholars at USC. Up to five positions may be awarded each year.
Applicants should submit:
- A finished and complete online application
- A cover letter, which should indicate the applicant's primary field of research and desired departmental affiliation. Scholars working across disciplines may indicate the various fields their research addresses and, if desired, additional possible departmental affiliations. In addition to the Society of Fellows, the University of Southern California is home to multiple institutes, centers, and programs in the humanities. You can see a list of those programs by visiting this page. If your research interests align with those of any of these programs, please indicate this on your cover letter. If the dissertation has not been completed, the letter should detail its progress, timeline to completion, and scheduled or proposed defense date should the fellowship be awarded.
- A writing sample of one dissertation chapter or article
- A research proposal describing the applicant's plans for the period of the fellowship. This may include revising the dissertation for publication and/or plans for the candidate's next academic project (up to three pages double-spaced).
- A teaching statement
- The names of three faculty members who can supply letters of reference directly to USC. Referees will be contacted by email and should submit letters of reference electronically. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure the submitted email addresses for referees are accurate.
Please submit PDF files. Candidates are responsible for ensuring that all accompanying documents are properly uploaded and open correctly.
The application cycle for postdoctoral fellowships for 2018–2020 will open Monday, October 9th, 2017.
The deadline to submit an application is Monday, November 27, 2017, noon PST.
- If you are using a third-party dossier service provider or your institution's recommendation letter service, please use the "confidential letter upload" or "electronic delivery" option. For instance, some third-party dossier service providers assign a unique email address for every referee on your account; please enter this unique email address in the application site, and an email will be sent to the service provider with a request to upload a specific reference letter on your behalf.

text: I posted this in the newest firmware update thread, but with all the bickering it's not going to get answered. So ... if I format the Wii system memory does that bring me back to the original firmware? And if so does anyone know if I update my system that will bring me to the newest firmware or will I have to go through them one at a time. This is mainly so I can use my Action Replay disc in the event that further Wii updates still render it useless. I do not have a mod chip so using the Action Replay w/GameCube OS Disc is out of the question for me. Thanks
