Student loans are very common in the world we live in. They also present a huge obstacle for most, as most people who attend college will have them after they are finished. Student loan issues have become so bad that they are actually the number 1 cause of bankruptcy in the United States, which is actually interesting considering they can’t be forgiven through bankruptcy. Can student loans affect your ability to land a VA Home Loan? Of course they can.
Even with GI Bill education benefits, veterans and active service members certainly shoulder their fair share of student loan debt, too. Simply having student loan debt doesn’t mean your road to qualifying for a VA home loan is automatically more difficult. But staying on top of this monthly obligation is absolutely critical.
Lenders will typically need to include your student loan payment when calculating your monthly debt-to-income (DTI) ratio. They’ll also look for any signs that you’ve missed payments or defaulted on student loans, which can jeopardize your chances of securing a mortgage.
Lets take a quick look at how student loans can indeed affect your VA Home Loan.
Forbearance and Deferment
Yes, you can defer and/or put your student loans into forbearance for years and years without having to pay anything. However, that same grace period doesn’t register the same way for mortgage lenders. They’re going to want to know the exact amount of your pending student loan payments, and they’ll absolutely look to factor that expense into your monthly DTI ratio. Six months is a drop in the bucket compared to the 360 months that comprise a 30-year mortgage term. Basically, you will be looked at as having to pay the loans, whether you are actually paying them or not at the time of application.
Policies can vary from lender to lender, but, in general, students loans will count against your DTI ratio if they are:
- Due within 12 months of your closing date, or
- Currently in forbearance, or
- Deferred due to a financial hardship
It’s important to know that forbearance and deferment are not the same thing. Consumers typically have to request and be granted a deferment, which is a temporary delay of your principal and interest repayments. There are a host of situations where you can apply for a deferment, including:
- You’re enrolled at least half-time in college or career school
- You’re serving on active duty
- Economic hardship
- Unemployment or under-employment
There are other aspects that also come into play here, both that may hinder or help you. You offsetting payment plan, your overall debt, whether or not you may have a cosigner. All of these things and more will come into play during the process. Every situation is different, you should discuss your situation in detail with a VA certified lender.
Contact Us now and lets take a look at your unique situation.

This week’s Friday Poem is ‘What the Burglar Took’ by Rosalind Hudis from her collection Restorations. You can hear Rosalind chatting about the book on the The Seren Poetry Podcast which is available now on all podcast platforms.
Restorations is a journey into what it means to preserve – a monument, a moment, a life-story, a poppy. It’s about the hunger to possess and the need to let go. Welding themes from art and history with the contemporary, there are poems about pigments and dictators, glue and glass houses, collections, crinolines, and barometers, and the vagaries of memory itself. Entwined, is a more personal story that tracks the loss of a parent to dementia. Also running through, is a theme of women eroding the straitjacket of gendered roles. Linking all is a play with colour, particularly blue, in all its stages from vital to decayed.
The Seren Poetry Podcast is a new series of in-depth interviews with Seren poets. Episode 7 with Rosalind Hudis is available to listen to now.

The 2014-15 Pennsylvania budget may not yet have the signature of Gov. Tom Corbett or make a serious dent in the state's public pension crisis, but Lehigh Valley Republicans praised their efforts in getting it passed and spending increased.
The 108-95 House vote and the 26-24 Senate tally on Monday followed nearly straight party lines and culminated hours of debate. Senate Republicans negotiated the budget plan behind closed doors with House Republican leaders and Corbett.
State Rep. Joe Emrick, R-Northampton, points to a 3 percent increase in education spending.
"As a former teacher, I am pleased to support a spending plan for fiscal year 2014-15 that features yet another record-setting appropriation in K-12 education," he wrote in an email about the plan which would, by his figures, add an extra $842,940 to the Bangor Area School District, $2,437,093 to the Easton Area School District and $1,028,572 to the Nazareth Area School District. "For the fourth consecutive fiscal year, we will be looking to the future through investments like this, in addition to significant increased raises in support for Pre-K Counts and special education."
State Rep. Marcia Hahn, R-Northampton, took to percentages to outline the increase in education spending. She puts increased state spending at 5.9 percent in the Bethlehem Area School District, 6.7 percent in the Nazareth district, 5 percent in Northampton Area School District and 4.8 percent in the Pen Argyl Area School District.
"Significant increases in funding for Pre-K Counts and special education also demonstrate a continued commitment to the next generation," she wrote in an email.
State Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, R-Lehigh/Berks, says the amount of money spent on education is historic.
"This budget invests $10.5 billion in K-12 education – a record level of state funding," he wrote in an email. "This represents an increase of $314 million over last year. Special education has been increased by $20 million, the first increase for such programs in six years, and pre-kindergarten programs saw a boost of $10 million."
Filling hole in budget
The big task for Republicans was to address a massive and unexpected collapse in tax collections that tore a gaping $1.7 billion hole into the $29.4 billion budget plan Corbett proposed in February.
But Emrick didn't blame budget problems on tax collections.
"Decreased support from the federal government has forced to us to make difficult spending decisions," he wrote. "We nevertheless have crafted a budget for 2014-15 that does not rely on the wallets of Pennsylvania taxpayers in order to be balanced. No taxes are raised or created and no new debt is incurred.
"... While I could go into more specifics, I feel it is important to emphasize the overall philosophy of this spending plan in relation to the budgets of the last three years. We continue to live in trying economic times, made even more difficult by decisions of the Obama administration that have made our lives more challenging."
Democrats not happy
Philadelphia Sen. Vincent Hughes, the ranking Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, called it a "flim-flam sham" budget that is built on shaky assumptions and the backs of the working poor.
"If you have, you get more," Hughes said. "But if you don't have, you get less."
Democrats had proposed making up the shortfall by expanding Medicaid under the 2010 federal health care law, delaying planned tax cuts for businesses and increasing taxes on natural gas extraction and sales of tobacco products.
Senate Republicans entertained the idea of a tax increase, but House Republicans blocked it. So instead, Republicans developed a no-new-taxes plan that cuts business taxes and fills the gap by assembling more than $2 billion in one-time items, including postponing Medicaid payments, raiding off-budget programs and draining reserves.
Under the Republican plan, spending would increase $723 million, or 2.5 percent, over the current year's approved budget. Another $220 million would be added to the books of the nearly ended fiscal year, instead of the new fiscal year, making the entire package a $943 million increase, or about 3.3 percent.
"This budget protects taxpayers and prevents job creators from facing additional barriers to growth and expansion in the Commonwealth," Mackenzie wrote.
None of the local Republicans addressed the failure to correct the public pension system, which has been brutalizing school budgets in recent years.
Leaders of the House and Senate Republican majorities couldn't drum up enough support for the pension overhaul Corbett wanted in conjunction with the budget. The goal was to reduce future state and school employees' pensions to save more than $10 billion over 30 years.
Democrats were united in opposition, and some Republicans opposed it.
Instead, the Senate passed a bill Monday that would shift state lawmakers, judges, the governor and four other elected executive branch officials into a 401(k)-style system. It's expected to save $690 million over 38 years.
"We are slowly righting the ship," Hahn, who praised the budget's "increased appropriation for the agriculture community," wrote. "The fiscal responsibility demonstrated in the last three years has brought us to this point. Continuing down this path is making Pennsylvania more attractive to business, which should in turn put even more people back to work and result in better days for the commonwealth."

College Football Bowl Game Injuries, Players Sitting Out: An Updating List
Ben Queen-USA TODAY Sports. Pictured: West Virginia Mountaineers quarterback Will Grier.
- College football players sitting out of bowl games is a growing trend, which can impact betting odds.
- We're keeping a running list of players sitting out and injuries that happened during the season.
College football bowl games have always been exhibitions of sorts, and players have taken that to the next level over the last few years by sitting out to avoid injury and prepare for the NFL Draft.
Many players sitting out won’t affect betting lines. Others might a little bit. We’re keeping track to make sure bettors are up to date on who is playing and who is not.
Offensive Players Sitting Out
- West Virginia QB Will Grier: By far the most meaningful player sitting out for bettors — the line for the Camping World Bowl against Syracuse dropped from -7.5 to -3.5 with the news. Jack Allison, who began his career at Miami but has been with WVU for two years, will likely start. He’s thrown 10 career passes but was a top-200 recruit out of high school. WVU’s left tackle, Yodny Cajuste, will also skip the game.
- South Carolina WR Deebo Samuel: A big-play threat on offense and special teams, Samuel caught 11 touchdowns this season and led the Gamecocks in targets (97) and catches (62).
- Arizona State WR N’Keal Harry: Harry has been as consistent as any wide receiver in the country, catching 213 passes for 2,889 yards in the last three seasons. The Sun Devils are 3-point underdogs to Fresno State in the Las Vegas Bowl.
- Oklahoma State RB Justice Hill: Hill has been the Cowboys’ starter for three years and averaged at least 5.5 yards per carry in each of them. He missed the last two games because of injury and will sit out OK State’s bowl game against Missouri.
- Iowa TE Noah Fant: Perhaps the top tight end in this draft class, Fant will be missed against an aggressive and physical Mississippi State defense in the Outback Bowl.
- N.C. State WR Kelvin Harmon: Harmon led the ACC in receiving yards and was a reliable target for quarterback Ryan Finley and the Wolfpack’s excellent passing game. They play Texas A&M in the Gator Bowl.
Defensive Players Sitting Out
- Michigan LB Devin Bush: Bush has not been cleared from a hip injury he suffered against Ohio State and has announced his intentions to enter the NFL Draft. So he’ll be skipping the Peach Bowl as a precaution. Bush had 66 tackles (8.5 for loss) this season and is a projected first-round pick.
- Houston DL Ed Oliver: Considered one of the top prospects in the 2019 NFL Draft, Oliver will skip Houston’s bowl game against Army. The Cougars were average against the run this season (63rd in yards per carry allowed) but got gashed by Navy, another triple-option team, for 349 yards and 36 points earlier this season with Oliver healthy.
- Michigan DL Rashan Gary: The No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2016 is NFL bound and will miss the Peach Bowl vs. Florida. Gary has 3.5 sacks and 38 tackles in nine games this season.
- LSU DB Greedy Williams: Another likely first-round pick, Williams played just two seasons for the Tigers but had eight interceptions and 19 passes defended in his career. He’ll sit out the Fiesta Bowl against UCF.
Key Bowl Game Injuries
There are way too many injuries to cover in one post, so I’ll direct you to Sports Insights’ page that tracks all college football injuries.
Here are some important ones that happened late in the year you need to be aware of if you’re betting bowl games. We’ve mainly included players we know are out for the season — we’ll update with questionable players as their statuses get more clarity.
- UCF QB McKenzie Milton: The dynamic quarterback suffered a gruesome leg injury two weeks ago, but Darriel Mack Jr. looked good in his place against Memphis. The Knights are 7-point underdogs to LSU in the Fiesta Bowl.
- Houston QB D’Eriq King: King was lost for the season in mid-November. Clayton Tune went 18 of 43 for 256 yards against Memphis to end the year.
- Miami WRs Jeff Thomas and Ahmmon Richards: The Canes’ anemic passing game needs all the help it can get, but is without two of its best receivers against Wisconsin. Thomas left the team a few weeks ago, and Richards suffered a career-ending neck injury in October.
- Utah RB Zack Moss and QB Tyler Huntley: Utah’s backfield starters missed the final four games, and the offense felt the effects in a 10-3 loss to Washington in the Pac-12 Championship Game. The Utes are -6.5 against Northwestern in the Holiday Bowl.

Manitoba History: Digital Mapping of Historical Data
by Larry Laliberte
Over the past few years there has been a growing interest in the use of historic maps within computer applications, including, standalone imaging software, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Internet-based visualization programs. From an imaging perspective, historic maps can be scanned at high resolutions, allowing users to zoom in and explore the margins of the map, facilitating a deeper appreciation of the textures of art, science and power in the cartographic representations of past landscapes. With the incorporation into GIS, a computer-based tool for mapping and analyzing geographic information, historical maps serve as another layer of spatial data. By integrating historical maps with current satellite imagery and other geographical data, researchers can highlight land use change over time. For example, changes to land due to water inundation by dams or loss of natural habitat due to urbanization and land cultivation for agriculture. Other GIS uses include, archaeological and architectural research, which locates historic buildings and other structures relevant to surveys and excavations and genealogical research including the location of old cemeteries. With the recent and popular release of Google Earth, a highly effective and easy to use visualization tool, historic maps can be combined with text, pictures, websites and audio or video clips to produce “mashups” that allow people to share historical material with others across the globe.
However, in order to utilize historical maps in digital form, they have to be widely available and easily accessible. Not so long ago, access meant having to personally visit the archives and libraries that housed the old maps. Recently, there has been a growth of websites with a mandate to place digital copies of historical maps online. Two of the best-known Internet resources for historic maps are the David Rumsey Collection, housing over 12,000 maps focusing on 18th and 19th century North and South America and the Library of Congress American Memory Project which offers hundreds of scanned maps as far back as the 16th century. While the web interface for each site is different, both are similar in their ease of use, allowing users to search for maps by keyword, year and geographic location, with the results displayed as thumbnail images. Once a thumbnail is selected, users can zoom into a map at a very detailed level and save and print the view. Furthermore, each map is accompanied by comprehensive metadata, including author, publisher, year of publication and other associated geographical information. One of the most important features of each website is that they provide users with the option of downloading the original highresolution map scans, for free. This is a critical point, because there are many websites that only provide the option of viewing scanned maps, often at a lower resolution. If a researcher wants access to the original scan they have to pay and wait weeks to receive the digital image, eliminating one of the strengths of the Internet, quick dissemination of, and ease of access to, information, provided you have an high speed Internet connection.
It is important to note that Manitoba content can be found on both websites. For example, a wonderful Birds Eye View of Winnipeg from 1874, which can be zoomed into at an amazing level of detail and then downloaded for use in other computer applications, is available at the Library of Congress website.
Another interesting exercise involves compiling various North American Maps dating back to 1700s, from both websites, in order to show the changing cartography and naming of Lake Winnipeg, including incarnations such as Lac des Asfenipoils, Lac Ouinipigon, and Lac Winnipeg Bourbon.
While it seems ironic that individuals need to surf south of the border for Canadian cartographic content, this has unfortunately, been the norm. Yet, changes are occurring, as more Canadian based websites created by libraries and government agencies, are providing digital access to their maps. For example, ArchiviaNet allows you to search the Library and Archives of Canada’s cartographic holdings. The search results often have an accompanying image and an option for ordering high-resolution copies of the maps, for a fee and a ten-week wait! Ideally, the Library and Archives of Canada will start placing high-resolution scans of public domain maps online for direct download, similar to the efforts of the Bibliothèque Nationale du Québec, including many examples of French cartography depicting Western Canada. Currently, the best online interface, providing zooming, panning and full download capabilities, is Natural Resources Canada’s MIRAGE (Map Image Rendering DAtabase for GEoscience) website which allows users access to new and historic geological maps.
Finally, it is the goal of the eMapitoba column to highlight local projects and historical research aiming to re-visualize Manitoba’s rich spatial tapestry through innovative efforts, including, scanning and acquiring unique Manitoba maps as well as work incorporating historical maps into GIS and web based visualization software, like Google Earth.

2011 Ford F-150 - Click above for high-res image gallery
Ford has to put the brakes on F-150 production for a week, and it seems parts suppliers are to blame. The new truck is reportedly selling so well that companies who make parts for the truck are having trouble keeping up with demand.
Engines for the pickups are produced at the Brooks Park facility in Ohio. A slowdown there will cause 3,000 employees at Ford's Dearborn truck plant to take an unplanned week-long vacation.
Analysts are quick to point out that if vehicle sales increase as some are predicting, more shortages could occur in the near future. However, the parts shortage only appears to affect Ford at the moment as General Motors and Chrysler are currently full-steam ahead in their respective production facilities.

Say Goodbye to Bunions and Hello to Summer Sandals
Do the shoe boxes in your closet bear the names Prada or Christian Louboutin? High-heeled sandals are a staple of popular TV shows like Sex and the City. Unfortunately, bunions can make wearing your favorite shoes embarrassing or even painful. Bunion treatment at Millennium Podiatry can help you reclaim your cute summer sandals and enjoy sexy feet once again.
Don’t let bunions ruin your summer months. Board-certified podiatric surgeon Dr. Suzanne Levine is proud to offer surgical and nonsurgical options to get rid of bunions at our New York City, NY clinic. Read below to learn more or contact our office for your first confidential consultation.
What is a bunion?
Bunions are among the most common foot problems in the U.S. A bunion occurs when your big toe curves inward toward the second toe. This causes a bump to develop on the side of your foot. Factors like arthritis and genetics can increase your risk of bunions. Fashionable women's shoes, like high heels and sandals, can make bunion symptoms worse, especially if they have a tapered toe in the front.
How bunions affect your life
Almost anyone can get bunions. If you do suffer from them, it can be almost impossible to find shoes that are both stylish and comfortable. Cute summer sandals may even sit in the back of the closet because they are too painful to wear. Millennium Podiatry recommends getting bunion treatment as soon as possible in New York City, NY. The primary signs of a bunion include:
A prominent bump: As we mentioned, bunions cause a noticeable bump on one side of your foot. You may feel tension or irritation from this bump when wearing certain kinds of shoes.
Joint pain: Because the big toe is in an unnatural position, you may have joint damage and signs of pain.
Changes in your gait: The abnormal shape of your foot may cause you to walk differently, causing discomfort in the foot, hips, and back.
Nonsurgical bunion treatment
Many people can relieve bunion issues temporarily through nonsurgical options. This includes finding footwear with wide toe boxes that reduce pressure and friction. Custom-fitted orthotics are recommended to prevent bunions from worsening. You can also try cool compresses and ice packs to reduce any inflammation associated with bunions. Of course, none of these options actually address the root of the problem or help you get back your sexy feet. This is where experts like Dr. Levine come in.
Get rid of bunions through surgery
Millennium Podiatry may suggest surgery if your bunion is interfering with your daily activities and choice of footwear. During an evaluation, we can review your symptoms and make recommendations as needed. The goal of surgery is to place the big toe back into the correct position. The good news is that most procedures do not require hospital admission or invasive measures. Dr. Levine can walk you through the process when you schedule a visit.
Wear cute summer sandals again!
Do you want to enjoy sexy feet without discomfort or an unsightly bump? Board-certified podiatric surgeon Dr. Suzanne Levine has helped countless patients get rid of bunions and provide relief for life. When you are ready to get back into your cute summer sandals, contact the specialists at Millennium Podiatry in New York City, NY. We can perform an evaluation and make custom recommendations for you.

The wall box is from the mid-1950's and my multimeter shows that it is grounded. There are a solid 120 volts when testing between live and ground. I noticed a bare copper wire coming from the cloth wiring in the back tied to a screw connected to the box. I looked around for usable screw holes in the box to screw a ground screw into but they were all way too large. Does this look okay? I get good continuity here between the green insulated copper ground wire I added and the rest of the box. The green wire will go to the grounding screw on the outlet.
Purely technically this is an unreliable connection. Think if your screw is a little conical, the wire can slide further from the screw and become loose.It can take weeks or months to be noticeable. There should be parts which prevent the the wire sliding between the surfaces. In developed countries there should be used certified connection boxes if one extends old wirings.
There should be parts which prevent the bending, rotating and pulling of the wire near the connection. Unprotected wires should be inside a closed space which is inaccessible without using tools.
Electrically acceptable grounding must be built to have low enough resistance. That can be true for the existing old grounding, but inserting wire length can be invalid due the maximum allowed resistance. A multimeter is useless for checking this.
Finally the job without license can be illegal even in case you can do it technically perfectly. Technically perfect is not purely reliable contacts, low enough resistance and good insulation & protection. There can be a regulation which states that old wirings aren't allowed to be continued, the whole branch should be rebuilt starting from the line breaker box and by using only currently valid parts.

Rep. Giovanni Capriglione
A woman is 14 times more likely to die from complications related to a pregnancy than an abortion. The numbers are starkest in Texas
, where the rate of women dying from pregnancy complications rose to around 190 deaths a year in 2012. No women died from abortion complications in the same timeframe.
But don't tell that to Texas House Republicans.
Last Thursday, conservatives spent the afternoon debating a bill that would make sure health providers are punished if they don't report complications related to abortion. Filed by Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, a Southlake Republican, it appears HB 2962's authors don't believe that abortion procedures can really
be that safe and hope this bill will prove so.
The bill would “provide a more accurate picture of abortion complications in Texas," according to Capriglione. That's because, in his words, "The data we’re getting is not right."
Capriglione's bill is largely redundant, as state abortion providers are already required to report any kind of complications to the Department of State Health Services within 30 days. The only difference is that with Capriglione's bill, doctors would have to include additional personal information about the patient, like the date of her last menstrual cycle and her marital status, in their report. That, and — thanks to a last-minute amendment pitched by Rep. Matt Schaefer — doctors would have to report the incident within 72 hours.
Pro-choice opponents of the bill say it's just another tool used to mislead women and the public into believing legal abortions are less safe than they really are. According to a statewide coalition of reproductive rights groups called Trust Respect Access, the bill serves only to "stigmatize abortion and abortion providers and to shame women seeking abortion."
At the Thursday reading, Rep. Carol Alvarado, a Houston Democrat, asked Schaefer why he was focusing on regulating one of the "safest" medical procedures.
His reply: “Abortion is not safe for the baby."
Thursday's vote took up several hours of the lower chamber's last day to tentatively approve legislation. The session ran out of time before the few bills meant to improve maternal health were heard. One of them, House Bill 2403, would have investigated why African American women in Texas are dying at three times the rate of any other women during or shortly after childbirth. Its author, Houston Democrat Rep. Shawn Thierry, said that Republicans' refusal to hear her legislation made "black women a casualty of a political civil war."
"It's a sad day in Texas that while African American mothers are dying, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle continue to play politics," she said in a press statement.
Texas conservatives' past focus on undermining abortion access may have laid the groundwork for the state's maternal mortality numbers. After state Republicans slashed family planning funding by 66 percent
in 2011, in part an attempt to block Planned Parenthood from federal dollars, pregnancy-related deaths doubled. And the state's replacement for reproductive health care, Healthy Texas Woman, has struggled to successfully fill
Planned Parenthood's void.
With just two weeks left in session, Capriglione's anti-abortion bill now heads to the Senate floor.

How do I make baking soda?
In the Solvay process, carbon dioxide and ammonia are passed into a concentrated solution of sodium chloride. Crude sodium bicarbonate precipitates out and is heated to form soda ash, which is then further treated and refined to form sodium bicarbonate of United States Pharnacopoeia (U.S.P.) purity.
What can I use if I dont have baking soda?
Though results may vary, you should use triple the amount of baking powder that you would use of baking soda. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of baking soda, use 3 teaspoons of baking powder as a replacement.

What should I do if I accidentally used baking soda instead of baking powder?
If you are storing the homemade baking powder instead of using it right away, stir in 1 teaspoon of cornstarch.
Can I bake without baking soda?
Since baking soda is an ingredient of baking powder, baking powder is technically the best substitute for baking soda. … So, if a recipe calls for one teaspoon of baking soda, use three teaspoons (or a tablespoon) of baking powder.
Can I boil pretzels without baking soda?
So yes, you can skip the “boiling in water + baking soda” step. But beware: if you do, you’ll lose out on the texture, flavor and appearance of the pretzel.
Can I use cornstarch instead of baking soda?
Baking soda and corn starch are not interchangeable in recipes because they have completely different purposes in cooking. Cornstarch is typically used as a thickening agent in sauces and soups, while baking soda is a leavening agent that will help baked goods rise.
How do you make baking soda stronger?
By spreading baking soda out on an aluminum-lined baking sheet and putting it in a 250° F oven for one hour, you’ll turn a weak alkali into a stronger one—or, as Harold McGee put it in his 2010 New York Times article outlining the tip, you’ll get a “a more muscular and versatile alkali” that’s closer in chemical make- …
What happens if you cook baking soda?
But if you heat baking soda, its molecules react with one another to give off water and carbon dioxide and form solid sodium carbonate, which is proton-free. Just spread a layer of soda on a foil-covered baking sheet and bake it at 250 to 300 degrees for an hour.
Are there 2 types of baking soda?
Baking soda is 100% pure sodium bicarbonate. … Baking Soda is made of 100% Sodium Bicarbonate. Super Washing Soda is made of 100% Sodium Carbonate. While they sound similar, they are not the same.
Is Arm and Hammer baking soda edible?
Not just Arm and Hammer, any baking soda can be used for food. It’s called baking soda after all. You can use it to make dough rise, tenderise meat and many other cooking uses. It’s just a name for sodium bicarbonate, a simple chemical compound that has multiple uses.

From 1993 to 1998, staff from National Public Health and Hospital Institute assessed the status and progress of urban hospitals in addressing sociocultural barriers to health care access.
Specifically, project staff conducted six case studies of US public and private urban hospitals. Subsequently, it transformed the questionnaire it had created to examine the hospitals into a self-administered tool.
The case studies generally revealed a lack of cross-cultural initiatives at the hospitals studied and showed common elements that constrain action:
- Limited resources to deal with the problem.
- No compelling balance sheet rationale for action.
- A scarcity of models of successful action within the hospital industry and in the literature.
- A tendency among public hospitals to take their cultural competence for granted.
Project staff transformed its hospital questionnaire into a self-administered tool, The Cultural Competence Self-Assessment Protocol, which allows hospitals and other health organizations to assess their own cultural competence.


Jon Johnson File Photo/Gila Herald: The Graham County Chamber of Commerce Governing Board voted unanimously during a special meeting Saturday to send a letter to the Graham County Board of Supervisors requesting it impose a mask mandate for people when they are in public and cannot physically distance from others. Executive Director Vance Bryce is shown here wearing a mask at a previous event.
By Jon Johnson
SAFFORD – The Graham County Chamber of Commerce, towns of Pima and Thatcher, and the Graham County Department of Health and Human Services are petitioning the Graham County Board of Supervisors to issue a mask mandate for Graham County.
The proposed mandate would require the wearing of masks in stores and public areas where physical distancing is not possible. Exceptions would include athletic practices and competition, as well as athletic classes, such as Karate classes.
The Chamber drafted a letter to the BOS requesting a mask mandate. On Saturday, the Chamber Board unanimously voted to approve the letter.
In the letter, the Chamber Board said, “By preventing the spread of COVID-19, we are supporting our member businesses by helping our positive case numbers flatten enough to prevent a stay at home order. Our message to the business community and our customers is Mask Up Gila Valley or get shut down.”
Chamber Executive Director Vance Bryce received requests from local council members to ask the Gila Valley business community to support a mask mandate. “Nobody likes to be told what to do. We need to decide as a community to do our best to flatten the curve and keep our businesses open, we will be much better off and lives will be saved.” Local municipalities are holding meetings next week to discuss strategies to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Pima Town Manager Sean Lewis advised Chamber members during the Saturday morning that a mask mandate would be recommended for the next six weeks in part to show the state that the county is being proactive about its increase in cases and to help keep businesses open.
“My biggest fear is if we don’t do something – if we don’t show the governor that we’re trying to curtail our numbers; that we’re doing something – I do believe that he is going to shut us down,” Lewis said. “I think, with all of us, that’s the last thing we want to see . . . I’m of the belief if we don’t do something, the state of Arizona is going to and I don’t think it’s going to be a mask mandate.”
Previously, the state of Arizona and Governor Doug Ducey had listed a 10 percent standard to avoid another shutdown. Lewis advised that Graham County Health Department Director Brian Douglas advised at a meeting of local government officials that Graham County had increased from 16.5 percent to 26 percent and believes 30 percent is on the immediate horizon.
Additionally, Lewis said MGRMC CEO Roland Knox also informed the group that Thursday marked the first day the hospital had more than 50 percent of its patients be COVID-19 related and that it is seeking additional staff as 30 of its healthcare workers are currently out due to the virus.
In addition to the letter from the Chamber, Lewis said the Pima Town Council will hold a special council meeting Monday to approve a resolution asking the county to issue a mask mandate and that Thatcher is doing the same.
Lewis said none of the government leaders and community members want a mask mandate to force a belief on anyone but to keep a say in how the area operates.
“We want a mask mandate out there because we need to do something,” Lewis said. “I want to be in control of what happens in my town and I want all of us to be in control of what happens in our Valley. I’m afraid if we don’t do something, somebody else is going to be in control. I don’t want someone else to take control of our area because we didn’t do anything.”
“If we don’t do something, Ducey will shut us down.”
A number of business owners were mixed on their beliefs whether masks help reduce the spread but all were in favor of issuing a mask mandate if that is what it takes to keep businesses open.
In addition to the mask mandate, the county is expected to begin an advertising blitz encouraging the use of masks and reminding proper precautionary measures, including physical distancing and washing hands.
While a mask mandate will not immediately lower any numbers, it is believed to help lower the spread in the following weeks, allowing time for a vaccine. Even a total shutdown wouldn’t lower numbers for the first two weeks.
Two recently tested vaccines for COVID-19 are expected to begin distribution in December, starting with nursing homes, first responders, and prison populations, according to Lewis.
“The mask mandate will have zero effect on numbers for at least two weeks,” Lewis said. “If we did a complete shutdown . . . every single thing in the world is shut down (and) we’re on a complete lockdown, numbers wouldn’t change for 13 days. So, this is not an immediate fix. This is not a shot when you have a cold. This is not that. But what this is, is a way of letting everyone know we are doing something. It’s a way of changing people’s behaviors and it’s a way of, hopefully, in four or five weeks, it does have a good effect. One of the theories behind the mask mandate too isn’t just that the masks stop the virus from spreading, but it changes everybody’s behaviors. It keeps people away from each other in line. It keeps people more cognizant (of) washing their hands (and) not touching their face as much.”

Cellular processes are governed by interactions among genes or their protein-products. Molecular biology has unraveled many of these interactions. With recent technological advances, extensive measurements can be made for large numbers of genes and other cellular entities. This raises the question whether from these measurements one can deduce relationships among the genes. This is called the network reverse-engineering problem. A simple mathematical object, the inverse of the variance-covariance matrix, is at the heart of a whole class of methods for attacking this problem. The talk will present biological questions and explain how inverse variance-covariance matrix come into play. Novel applications include epigenetic factors and their interplay.
Light refreshments will be served before the lecture at 3:30 p.m.

Been bumping this tune for at least 6 weeks now and we've played it on the show I believe 2 times now. Take from their FB page:
Kids These Days comes from Chicago but their music comes from everywhere. With three horns, a rapper, a blues-rock trio and a female singer, KTD blends a wide range of influences -- hip-hop, jazz, soul.Either way this collective of dope artists/musicians makes the nicest music. They recently played Bluesfest in Ottawa and are set to play Lollapalooza next week. I've gotten confirmation from them last week that this song will be featured on TCUS's upcoming mixtape....STAY TUNED.

Deacon George Piech Meat is one of three South Sudanese deacons serving his local migrant community in Melbourne. In 2004, Deacon George fled South Sudan with his wife and three children as a result of the Second Sudanese Civil War, one of the longest civil wars on record, lasting 22 years (1983–2005). Like a lot of their fellow South Sudanese brothers and sisters, they sought refuge in Egypt before finally being able to make a new life for themselves in Australia.
Since their resettlement in Melbourne, Deacon George and his wife have been blessed with another three children and three grandchildren. But without any South Sudanese priests in Melbourne, there was a clear need for his community to have some kind of chaplain, so his training as a catechist in South Sudan slowly developed into a calling to the permanent deaconate. He was ordained as a deacon in 2012.
Deacon George was recently appointed as Chair of the South Sudanese Youth Justice Advisory Group, coinciding with announcements from the Victorian Government that new grants are being offered for community programs that support Victoria’s young South Sudanese population.
For Deacon George, this presents a welcome change of approach. He says their community has often been treated poorly by both the government and the media, especially when it comes to dealing with crime among South Sudanese young people and understanding the root causes of it.
‘Now the government realises there is no way to solve this problem by themselves,’ Deacon George says. ‘They need to work together with the community.’
As he sees it, one of their primary challenges is supporting the fractured families who migrated because of the war. ‘The majority of families that came here, they’re single parents, especially mothers. These children, their fathers were killed during the war. Raising up these young children without a father, it creates a lot of problems.’
For some of these young people, there are no role models in the family, and this is why there are a lot of challenges now happening.
In his new role, Deacon George hopes to facilitate more of a conversation between the South Sudanese community and the government. ‘What we hope to see happen is for government to listen to the community. You know, it is our community. We know the best for us and the best for our next generation,’ he says.
He also hopes to achieve some practical resolutions in helping South Sudanese youth falling afoul of the law.
‘We have a lot of young people in prison,’ he explains. ‘We want to lobby to have any retired Catholic lawyers who want to help … Because some of these young boys, when they go to court, there is not any lawyer to support them because the family cannot pay for a lawyer. And in these minor issues, they are always put in prison.’
In order to deal effectively with these issues, he says, there are important support structures that need to be put in place—both after being released from prison and before they end up there in the first place. Because a lot of problems can be identified in the school years, building a stronger relationship with schools will be high on his agenda.
Making sure the South Sudanese young people who are in prison also have the support they need during and after that time is vital, from employment services to rehabilitation centres.
With these new government grants, Deacon George says they will be able to help more families, even with simple things like sport.
‘They like sport. Some of these young people want to be there, but if one family has six children, and they all want to play sport, they cannot afford to pay the fees.’
Their advisory group will effectively serve as the ‘eyes’ of the Victorian Government on the ground. ‘We are the eyes of the government to say, yes, these are the services, these are the sports clubs that these young children need to be [well] adjusted.
And we just need to raise a better generation, you know, a future generation that will come and be and contribute to the society.
Alongside the challenges faced by the South Sudanese community, Deacon George says there is also a lot to celebrate.
‘People always focus on the bad things, but there is a lot of good things happening—very, very good things happening.’
Deacon George is pleased that the South Sudanese community has a lot of graduates from higher education now, with people going into law, to work as doctors and nurses, and into sport. He points to the recent news coverage of the South Sudanese basketballers who have recently qualified for the Olympics, making them the first team from any sport to represent South Sudan at the global sporting event.
He also sees their rich liturgical and religious culture as offering a lot to young people. Although there are no South Sudanese priests in Victoria, they still have opportunities to sing and preach and worship in their language.
In Pope Francis, Deacon George also sees something of a role model. After the pope’s appointment in 2013, his first Holy Thursday Mass was celebrated in a prison where he washed the feet of inmates.
People don’t just need social support; they need pastoral support too, he says.
‘I have to be there,’ he says. ‘After my ordination, a big part of my ministry … There were a lot of funerals for young people, whether [they] committed suicide or died of drug overdose, or killed, or died, you know, of suspicious deaths. So it’s good to be part of this transforming life, and not just to bury life.’
‘Church is not just only in the place where good people are. Also, you need to be in a place with the sinners.’
On Sunday 24 September, the 2023 Migrant and Refugee Sunday Mass will be celebrated at 3pm at St Patricks Cathedral by Archbishop Peter A Comensoli and the migrant chaplains, preceded by a Rosary at 2pm in various languages. People will also be able to experience the richness of the South Sudanese choir, who will be singing during Mass.

Cigarette Tax Decreases Tax Use
North Carolina State public health officials said that in the first year after North Carolina's cigarette tax was raised, there was an 18.5 percent drop in cigarette sales.
The higher tax didn't hurt state revenues either; in fact revenue from cigarettes grew by $157 million. That's according to data compiled by the North Carolina Division of Public Health and the North Carolina Department of Revenue, which covers the first full year after the cigarette tax was increased in September 2005.
"This is good news for everyone," said State Health Director Dr. Leah Devlin. "Cigarette consumption is down; revenue is up. This means fewer North Carolinians and their families will face illness, disability and early death. The increased tax has improved the health of both the state's people and its coffers."
According to Devlin, research shows that for every 10 percent increase in the tax there is a 4 to 7 percent drop in smoking rates with the largest effect on youth.
The cigarette tax increased from five cents to 30 cents on September 1, 2005. An additional five cents was also added on July 1, 2006, bringing the state cigarette tax up to its current rate of 35 cents. The current national average is a tax of $1.07 per pack of cigarettes. The Centers for Disease Control now estimates that smoking-caused health care costs total $10.28 per pack sold and consumed in the United States
In recent years, North Carolina has recorded significant decreases in the use of tobacco by young people. North Carolina's middle school smoking rate decreased by 61.3 percent between 1999 and 2005, dropping from a rate of 15.0 percent to 5.8 percent. Similarly, North Carolina's high school smoking rate decreased by 35.8 percent between 1999 and 2005, dropping from a rate of 31.6 percent to 20.3 percent which is consistent with the national average Adult tobacco use rates have dropped to 22.1 percent in 2006 from 25.percent in 2001, which is 2 percent higher than the national average.

This explosive shooting and finishing drill is a great way to develop an aggressive mind set in your players. The small sided game creates multiple opportunities to shoot and finish quickly. In the video clip below Jimmy Gilligan, former head coach at Nike Football Academy and current coach of Nottingham Forest demonstrates an explosive shooting and finishing drill that he uses to create the mindset to score.
This drill is a 6v6 game with a 4v2 at each end of a small field. Players are confined to one half of the field.
The YouTube video has sound, so please make sure that your sound is turned on and that you have access to the site (some schools block access to YouTube)
The explosive shooting and finishing drill is played on a short field of 35-40 yards and is played 4v2 at each end. Additionally, there is a goalkeeper in net at each end of the field. Players are not allowed to cross the midfield and must shoot from their side of the field. There will be four offensive players and two defensive players in each end of the field. The two defensive teammates on the other side can follow up a missed shot and try to score quickly, but the ball may not be passed in to them from the other half. After a shot is taken, the two defensive teammates are responsible for defending against the oppositions 4 player offensive unit. Should they win a ball they may attempt to score quickly.
If the ball is hit out of bounds the players simply run to the nearest ball ( several extra balls should be placed just outside the playing area) and put in play. To put the ball in play the players simple touches it with her hand and serves the ball in. Play should be fast an continuous. Players are encouraged to shoot at every opportunity.

Clinical Cancer Research, 2015
Purpose: The low survival rate of head-and-neck cancer (HNC) patients is attributable to late disease diagnosis and high recurrence rate. Current HNC staging has inadequate accuracy and low sensitivity for effective diagnosis and treatment management. The multimodel porphyrin lipoprotein-mimicking nanoplatform (PLP), intrinsically capable of positron emission tomography (PET), fluorescence imaging, and photodynamic therapy (PDT), shows great potential to enhance the accuracy of HNC staging and potentially HNC management. Experimental Design: Using a clinically relevant VX-2 buccal carcinoma rabbit model that is able to consistently develop metastasis to regional lymph nodes after tumor induction, we investigated the abilities of PLP for HNC diagnosis and management. Results: PLPs facilitated accurate detection of primary tumor and metastatic nodes (their PET image signal to surrounding muscle ratios were 10.0 and 7.3, respectively), and provided visualization of the lymphatic drainage from tumor to regional lymph nodes by both pre-operative PET and intra-operative fluorescence imaging, allowing the identification of unknown primaries and recurrent tumors. PLP-PDT significantly enhanced cell apoptosis in mouse tumors (73.2 % of PLP-PDT group versus 7.1 % of PLP alone group), and demonstrated complete eradication of primary tumors and obstruction of tumor metastasis in HNC rabbit model without toxicity in normal tissues or damage to adjacent critical structures. Conclusions: PLPs provide a multimodal imaging and therapy platform that could enhance HNC diagnosis by integrating PET/CT and fluorescence imaging, and improve HNC therapeutic efficacy and specificity by tailoring treatment via fluorescence-guided surgery and PDT.

Automobile Start-Stop Systems
A few decades ago, German scientists conducted traction tests of an Audi LS with an engine power of 55 kW. The tests showed that the car consumes 0.35 cc’s of fuel while idling and 1.87 cc’s while starting. So, it is clear that turning off the engine during a standstill which lasts more than 5 seconds allows you to saves you some fuel.
The possibility of reducing fuel consumption by switching off the engine during even a very short stop and then re-starting it, led to the development of control systems that perform these operations automatically.
The solution introduced by Volkswagen at the beginning of the 80’s provides a good example of such systems. The engine could be turned off by the driver or automatically, depending on the vehicle’s speed, the engine’s temperature and the position of the gear-change lever. It was turned over by a starter when the driver put the car in the first or second gear and pressed the accelerator pedal without releasing the clutch. When the vehicle’s speed fell below 5km/h, the system stopped the engine by closing the idle run air duct. If the engine was not sufficiently heated, the temperature sensor prevented it from turning off. It was done in order to reduce starter wear, because starting a heated engine requires much less time than the start-up of a cold one. Furthermore, the control system reduced the load of the accumulator by switching of the heating of the rear window.
Now it’s more frequent that cars are equipped with similar control systems, responsible for starting and stopping the engine. These systems are usually called Start-Stop, Start&Stop or Stop-and-Go.
Starter in Start-Stop systems
In the majority of Start-Stop system solutions used in cars, the engine is turned over by a conventional starter. However, as the car is started very frequently, the starter has to be more durable than a regular starter. That is why it is equipped with a more powerful electric motor and brushes that are more resistant to wear. Moreover, they changed the one-way clutch in the coupling mechanism and corrected the shape of the pinion teeth.
All these innovations translate into a lesser amount of noise emitted by the running starter, which is of no small importance for the driving comfort if taking into account the fact that we start the engine very often.
Even a modernized and strengthened starter isn’t adapted for continuous operation. Nevertheless, the situation is different for an alternator whose rotor is rotating from the moment the engine turns over, till it stops. This is probably the origin of the idea that one could rotate the alternator with crankshaft during the start-up, so that it would transform into the electric motor. The Valeo company developed such a starter-alternator for Start-Stop systems, called StARS (Starter Alternator Reversible System).
The system is based on a reversible electric mo-tor that serves the functions of both starter and alternator. The reversible alternator can easily be mounted in the place of the classical one. It permits a very gentle start-up. In comparison with the conventional starter, there is no cou-pling process, so no additional sounds connect-ed with this operation are emitted.
During the start-up, the reversible alternator becomes an electric motor. Therefore, its armature windings have to be supplied with alternating voltage, while the direct current has to be delivered to the excitation winding (of the rotor). In order to obtain the alternating voltage from an on-board alternator, the use of a so-called inverter is required.
Furthermore, the armature windings cannot be supplied with alternating voltage through the voltage regulator and diode bridges, because at this time they have to be removed from the windings. In the moment of starting, the reversible alternator becomes the electric motor of an output not exceeding 2-2.5 kW and developing a torque of 40 Nm. This allows the engine to be started within 350 to 400ms.
The moment the engine is put in motion, the alternating voltage stops flowing through the armature windings. The reversible alternator again becomes an alternating current generator with the voltage regulator and diodes connect-ed to the armature clips in order to be able to supply the vehicle’s electrical system with constant voltage.
Additionally, other manufacturers equip the engine with a extra conventional starter and reversible alternator to turn over the engine for the first time after a longer standstill.

Happy Saturday! I’m sharing my second card for BYSHC Sketch Challenge #31. This is a fun sketch, so I hope you join us on Facebook for a chance to win a prize! Check out the BYSHC Blog for more beautiful inspirations from the Design Team.
For this card, I cut out the patterned paper according to the sketch. Then, I used copic markers to color the puppy, and I fussy cut it out. I heat embossed the sentiment from My Favorite Things with Fun Stampers Journey Black Embossing Powder directly on to the paper pad. I glued everything together and added some beautiful embellishments from Spellbinders.
Thank you for spending some of your time with me! I hope you like the card and will join us on Facebook.

Hi crafty friends! Who’s getting ready for St. Patrick’s Day? I went green for this slimeline card. I stamped a shamrock background from Simon Says Stamp with Gina K Designs Jelly Bean Green Ink. I die cut out the background to give it some wonky stitches. I glued it over a green cardstock mat.
I stamped, copic colored, and fussy cut out images from Clearly Besotted Be Lucky Stamp Set. I stamped extra leaf clovers because I wanted to have clovers falling down from the rainbow. I also glued a clover on the rabbit as a bow, which I thought was adorable.
Because you need some gold during St. Patrick’s Day, I heat embossed some gold embossing powder on some scrap white cardstock. Then, I die cut out the letters and glued everything together.
Have a wonderful week. Inky Hugs!

Hi friends! It’s a new month, so there’s a new BYSHC Sketch Challenge! It’s a super fun sketch, so I hope you join us at our Facebook group. You have until March 31st to enter for a chance to win a prize.
All of the patterned paper is from BoBunny Joyful Christmas paper pad, which I knew would go perfectly with this BEAUTIFUL die from Jaded Blossom. I am in LOVE with this die. I used scraps to die cut out my flower and added glossy accents to the pistil to give it some shine. I heat embossed the sentiment in the middle of a red cardstock, cut out the sentiment, and used the red cardstock as my mat for the patterned paper. I glued everything down, but for the flower, I used foam tape to give it more dimension.
Thank you for stopping by and hope this inspires you to join us. Check out the blog for more beautiful inspirations from the design team. Can’t wait to see what you create.

The long-term objective of my group is to uncover the mechanism(s) by which bioactive lipids modulate the function of vascular and sensory ion channels in vitro and in vivo. Members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel subfamily, such as TRPV1, TRPV4, and TRPC3, are involved in numerous physiological processes, including temperature, chemical, and noxious stimuli detection, as well as osmoregulation and neuronal and vascular function. TRP channel dysfunction underlies various pathophysiological conditions such as pain hypersensitivity (e.g., after injury), peripheral neuropathies (e.g., diabetes), inflammation, hypertension, and neurological disorders (e.g., ataxia). Because TRP channels play critical roles in health and disease, there are many challenges that agonists or antagonists must overcome during clinical trials due to their side effects. We envision that new strategies that fine-tune TRP channel function, while maintaining their physiological roles, might circumvent drug side these effects. Accordingly, membrane lipid manipulation has the potential to regulate channel function and bypass side effects.
To determine the mechanisms whereby polyunsaturated fatty acids, phosphoinositides, and diacylglycerol fine-tune TRP channel activity, we combine multiple in vitro and in vivo techniques such as: tissue culture (cell lines, murine and human cultured primary cells, and human iPSC-derived sensory neurons), electrophysiology (patch-clamp), calcium imaging, lipidomics, cryo-EM, site-directed mutagenesis, membrane protein biochemistry, and mouse behavior among others.
We are also working to provide the molecular basis for understanding the mechanism by which the lack of a ubiquitin-protein ligase modulates the function of mechanosensitive ion channels (like PIEZO2) in the context of Angelman syndrome (a neurogenetic disorder characterized by intellectual disability and sensory ataxia).

A 67-year-old Derbyshire man sent two police officers running from his house in fear when he pulled a Viking sword from his wall and started brandishing it in front of them. Widower Dylan Stewart had been drinking when he pulled out the weapon.
On body-worn camera footage played at Derby Crown Court, one female officer is heard to say “woah he’s got a sword, get out he’s got a sword” and the pair run outside. Now he has to stay out of trouble for a year or risk being sent to prison.
Handing him a six-month jail sentence, suspended for a year, Recorder Michelle Heeley KC said: “Whatever had happened that morning you were involved in something which meant the police were called and when the police came initially you were fine. But when they came into your house you were a bit stupid, picking up a Viking sword and brandishing it at them.
“They were frightened, you caused the officers a great deal of fear. They have a right to do their job without behaviour of the kind you demonstrated with them. The weapon you used caused a great deal of distress and you were in drink."
“You could not complain about going to prison given what you have done and I feel you have a problem with drink that you probably don’t fully realise. I am going to suspend your sentence - and your life is already lonely and isolated so a curfew would not assist with that. The sword will be destroyed and I appreciate it is a souvenir from your Viking reenactment days.”
Lucy Jones, prosecuting, said the incident took place on June 14 this year in the street where the defendant lives in Chesterfield. She said a short while earlier, Stewart had been involved in an incident whereby he had been punched in the face by a man who accused him of drink-driving and who called the police to report it.
The prosecutor said: “Officers attended his address and the defendant was compliant to begin with but when the officers went into the house he produced a Viking sword from the living room wall, held it in front of them and said ‘get the f*** out’.” Miss Jones then played the police’s body-worn camera footage of the incident.
It showed two female officers enter his address and tell him he is being arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and to get his medication and belongings he will need and to lock his house so they could take him to the police station and arrest him.
Stewart, of Lansdowne Road, Brimington, pleaded guilty to affray. He has 21 previous convictions for 35 offences dating back to the mid-1970s including public order, battery and drink-driving.
Chris Brewin, his barrister, said his client was “a little overawed because he had just been assaulted” and is remorseful for the way he behaved with the officers. He said: “He realises it would have been frightening and they can be seen running out (of his house). But after that, to use the colloquialism, he comes quietly. He knows police officers should not be treated in this way.”
As part of the suspended sentence, Stewart was ordered to attend 10 rehabilitation sessions with the probation service.

HOUSTON A man and a woman have been arrested and charged with injury to a child after a 23-month-old was found semi-conscious inside a motel room, Conroe police said.
It happened on Monday at about 11:55 p.m. at a Motel 6 located at 820 S. Interstate 45.
A witness called officers to the hotel after finding the child had significant injuries.
The child was immediately taken to Conroe Regional Medical Center and later transferred to Hermann Children s Hospital in the Medical Center.
The witness said Gregory Garcia, 19, contacted her requesting her to come pick up the child. Garcia initially denied to officers that he had been caring for the child, police said. However, he later admitted that he was supervising the child after Michelle Smith, the child s 19-year-old mother, left her in his care several hours prior.
Police said Smith was on scene, but neglected to identify herself as the child s mother during the officer s initial investigation. She also denied knowing what caused the injuries to the child, police said.
Conroe police said the investigation is on-going and further charges may be pending.


From increasing community events to addressing tough issues such as affordable housing and policing, community engagement can help local governments connect with their residents to address these pressing issues together.
As your city grows, consult your community to help guide public investments, land-use decisions, and policy choices that balance growth with local needs.
Creative placemaking reflects deep commitments to local arts and culture and can make public spaces come alive. These projects can both transform and memorialize the character and vitality of neighborhoods, so it’s critical to include the community in your efforts.
Engage your tenants and leaseholders to shape together the housing services offered across your council area. Community engagement is an opportunity to identify challenges and set priorities together with your residents.
CitizenLab’s community engagement platform helps you launch projects using a variety of consultation methods, without having to juggle different tools.
Crowdsource ideas directly from residents to gain valuable insights into how they use (or would like to use) their local public spaces.
Let your community members allocate a budget to their favorite project ideas, and get insights into what they think you should invest in.
Collaborate with your community by organizing live discussions and facilitating online, real-time deliberation.
A citizens' assembly is an in-depth discussion around key city topics between a randomly selected group of residents. Together they come up with recommendations that can help with public decision-making. Thanks to their diverse backgrounds and independence, the residents help come up with more inclusive and innovative ideas.
We believe that community engagement doesn’t have to be hard. To enable all local governments to tap into the benefits of community engagement, we’ve put together inspirational case studies and practical blog posts showing real examples of how our platform has been deployed as a solution for various use cases.
