In a few short days we will celebrate the 500th year anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther published his 95 Thesis and set in motion a reformation of Christianity that is still moving forward today. In his document, three primary truths emerged that reset the Church into a more biblical framework.
Throughout the centuries, the Church has done a fairly good job of practicing the first two truths. Sadly, we have largely failed to implement the "Priesthood of Every Believer." Prior to the first Reformation, a few people performed the ministry and the majority of believers were relegated to the role of consumers and spectators. Since the Reformation a few still do the ministry and the majority remain spectators. As a result the Church remains crippled by consumerism, complacency and compromise.
Let's all agree that the Protestant Reformation of 500 years ago was pivotal, powerful and effective, but let's also admit that it was largely incomplete. Over the centuries, instead of equipping and empowering every member into their God-given priesthood, we have continued the pattern in which the select few do all the ministry and the multitudes are merely spectators. This has made the Church into a consumer product that is measured not so much by its impact on individuals and nations, but by its ability to keep believers safe and separate from the world until the time they go to heaven. This was NOT God's original purpose in sending Christ and raising up His Body upon the earth.
The Renewal of the Ministry of the Holy Spirit: God is releasing a new level of supernatural gifting that is no longer reserved for a few anointed ministers, but is accessible to every believer to be empowered and equipped to do "Greater Things" in Christ.
The Restoration of the Ministry Gifts of Christ: There Is a growing clarity about the ministry gifts that were given at the time of the ascension of Jesus, and how these special abilities are to function in the Church for the glory of God.
The Revelation of Ecclesia and the transformation of Spheres: There is also an increasing understanding of the true meaning of the word ecclesia, a word which Jesus co-opted from Greek common use and gave new meaning to it. A careful study shows that the "called-out ones" were never called out to escape the world in fear, but rather were called to be "elders" who represented the village by gathering in the gates to resolve conflict and legislate on behalf of the well-being of the village.
When Jesus gave us the Great Commission he placed the advancement of the Kingdom into our hands and gave us a clear strategy for changing the world. That is… we are called to help people become wholehearted followers of Jesus, and then to develop them from spiritual infancy into full-fledged spiritual adults so they can create new kingdom offspring — and the cycle of discipleship would continue until the whole Earth would be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God.
Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit to empower us for this task and to guide us into all truth. All Christians need to understand the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Many are unaware of His presence in daily life. We cannot do what God has called us to do with mere human willpower and effort. We must rely on the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit, and experience His presence in our lives as we depend on Him.
Jesus also poured out upon the Church his ministry gifts so that we can equip each other for the work of ministry until the Body of Christ completes its mission on the earth (Ephesians 4:7-16). Pastors Coach exists to help bring a new Reformation that will equip leaders to empower every member to represent Christ fully: in their homes, in the marketplace and the Church. In order to achieve this outcome, Scripture tells us that Jesus, when He ascended on high, gave gifts to humanity. These gifts were listed as apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher. Each of these gifts are aspects of Jesus himself. Each of these gifts was given at the same time. Each of these gifts was given for the same purpose: to equip the Church. And each of these gifts was given until the same time: until we all come in the fullness of the knowledge of the son of God, unto a perfect man, the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
Unfortunately, when rediscovering these gifts there has been some misunderstandings, which have led to some abuse and misapplication. Many have mistakenly made these gifts all about titles and positions. Some have paraded themselves, expecting the highest seat in the room or the choice speaking position at the conference. However, that was not Jesus' intention when he gave these gifts in the first place. It's not about positions and titles but rather function and fruit. And their primary function is to equip the saints, and the primary fruit is the fullness of the body of Christ, with every member doing its part. Unless this outcome is being achieved there really is no purpose for the five ministry gifts of Christ.
Pastors coach exists to help the church complete the Reformation that began 500 years ago that only now is being understood in its full measure. We intend to accomplish this by being a catalyst for a five-point reformation that we believe will change the nature of the Church and bring forth a new wineskin for this new harvest.
The Evangelistic Reformation – Every believer winning the lost and impacting every sphere of society.
The Pastoral Reformation – Every believer connecting with and caring for each another.
The Teaching Reformation – Every believer established in and instructing others in God's truth.
The Prophetic Reformation – Every believer experiencing and expressing God's presence and power.
The Apostolic Reformation – Every believer leading others into spiritual maturity and reproduction, and supporting the greater Body of Christ.
At Pastor's Coach, we do this by helping leaders build thriving churches that equip and empower every member for ministry according to their God-given design and destiny. Our teachings and tools are proven to enable leaders to motivate and mobilize believers to become world-changing leaders who bring transformation to the world around them. Only 2% of people will make their living being employed as a minister or pastor… the rest will be soccer moms, corporate workers, electricians, banking executives, small business owners, teachers, etc. … but every one can be and should consider themselves, a full-time minister – serving those around them, bringing them to Jesus, ministering healing and reconciliation. That's the secret, that's the main purpose, that's discipleship, that's reformation that matters!

Most pastors have their hearts in the right place and are serving to their best ability, but many are consumed with "reactive leadership" – always putting out fires, rather than being proactive and developing their people to be mature members of the body. Also, there is a lack of practical teaching on how to develop healthy churches that grow in quality and quantity. Our tools, online video classes, conference calls and customized coaching are specifically designed to help you master the keys to building a healthy church through Biblical leadership development and transformation, and do your part to fuel the New Reformation. In church after church from all branches of Christianity, we've seen pastors encouraged and equipped to develop their people and lead their churches into healthy growth.
Encourage your friends to join the movement and network with others.
As a Pastors Coach member, you are automatically part of our team. We have pastors and leaders from around the world on the weekly video coaching calls. We encourage you to network — share your testimonies, teachings and tools that you are developing with us so we can share them with the rest of the Body of Christ. You may also be eligible to become one of our coaches and start your own coaching ministry.

A Demographic View of Indiana's Housing Slump
As the U.S. housing slump enters its fifth year, it is easy to become numb to the steady stream of bleak news accounts and statistics. Unfortunately, as many key indicators demonstrate, the housing market shows few signs of turning the corner. And while other states have grabbed the national headlines, the housing downturn continues to dog Indiana as well.
Table 1 shows that Indiana's 2010 existing home sales declined faster than the national average and remained well below peak sales levels seen in 2005. Indiana's house prices continue to fall, though not as quickly as the U.S. average. The state continues to have a large share of mortgages that were seriously delinquent (i.e., 90 days overdue or in foreclosure) and building permit activity is down again after a slight uptick in 2010.
Table 1: Indiana's Housing Market by the Numbers

This article examines the demographic fundamentals of Indiana's housing slump. Stubbornly high unemployment and foreclosure rates, along with general uncertainty in the labor market, have had a dampening effect on many of the demographic drivers of housing demand. For instance, new households are forming at a snail's pace in recent years as more households double up and migration slows. Additionally, homeownership is on the decline, particularly in younger age groups and certain minority populations. A greater rate of household formations, along with stable homeownership rates, will be important factors in a housing rebound.
Household Formations Slow Dramatically
The rate of Indiana's household growth slowed dramatically in the latter part of the last decade. Between 2005 and 2010, the number of households in the state grew by an average rate of 0.2 percent per year compared to 0.9 percent annually in the first half of the decade and 1.2 percent through the 1990s (see Figure 1). These rates translate to a decline from approximately 21,300 new households per year between 2000 and 2005 to 5,600 after. The nation as a whole has had higher rates of household formation yet has seen a similar decline in this measure.
Figure 1: Average Annual Household Formation Rates, U.S. and Indiana, 1990 to 2010
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Decennial Census and American Community Survey
Several factors have contributed to the decline in household formation. First, economic hardships like unemployment, foreclosure or decreased income may have forced many adults to move-in with family or friends—a process commonly called " doubling up." A recent surge in the number of multi-generational households illustrates this trend. According to a recent Pew Research Center analysis of American Community Survey (ACS) data, the share of Indiana residents that lived in multi-generational households increased from nearly 12 percent in 2007 to 13.5 percent in 2009 (see Figure 2).1 These figures translate to a jump from an estimated 749,000 Hoosiers living in multi-generational households in 2007 to 867,000 just two years later—a 16 percent increase.
Figure 2: Share of Population Living in Multi-Generational Households, 2007 to 2009
Source: Pew Research Center, using American Community Survey data
The Pew study suggests that the ability to move in with relatives is providing an important economic safety net for many that are reeling during the downturn. As a case in point, multi-generational households nationwide had a poverty rate of 11.5 percent in 2009 compared to 14.6 percent for all other households.2
Doubling up is also evident in Indiana's declining headship rates (i.e., the number of households divided by population), particularly among younger age groups. The share of Indiana residents between the ages of 25 and 34 that headed their own household dropped 2.1 percentage points between 2000 and 2010 (see Figure 3). This relatively steep decline for young adults makes sense given that this group has higher unemployment rates than older adults, according to ACS data for Indiana. Headship rates are also down for the 35 to 54 age group, yet slight gains in the population over the age of 65 help to offset some of these losses. To give these figures some context, the state would have roughly 46,500 more households in 2010 had the headship rates held at 2000 levels.

A Sharp Decline in Migration
Another factor suppressing household formations is the dramatic decline in migration. This trend has been a key side effect of the most recent economic downturn not only in Indiana but also around the country. The latest population estimates from the Census Bureau show that once booming states like Florida, Arizona and Nevada saw comparatively small population gains through migration in 2009. In the same year, Indiana registered its second-lowest migration figure in nearly two decades, with a net influx of just 2,400 residents from outside the state.
Movement within the state is also down as the slumping housing market and employment insecurity forced many potential movers to sit tight. This is particularly true among homeowners. Data from the ACS shows that the share of Hoosier homeowners that reported moving within the state over the previous year declined from 7 percent in 2005 to 5.6 percent in 2009. Dampened mobility within Indiana along with low levels of migration from elsewhere has meant that many fast-growing communities saw far fewer new residents than usual toward the end of the last decade. This is most evident in the suburbs of large metro areas.
Figure 4: Net Migration in Suburban Counties of Select Metro Areas, 2001 to 2009
Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates
Figure 4 illustrates the annual net migration for the suburban counties of the Indianapolis metro area along with the large metros that border the state.3 According to Census population estimates, the nine suburban counties of the Indianapolis area averaged a net in-migration of roughly 15,400 residents a year between 2001 and 2007. However, the net influx dropped to 12,000 in 2008 and 8,800 in 2009. Within the area, Hamilton County had the largest drop—going from an annual average of 7,600 net in-migrants between 2001 and 2007 to 5,200 in 2009. Comparing the same periods, the net in-migration marks for Hendricks and Johnson counties were down 1,600 residents and 1,200 residents, respectively.
The outlying counties of the Chicago metro area (which include Lake, Porter, Jasper and Newton counties in Indiana) have shown an even more dramatic fall in migration. These 13 counties combined to average a net in-migration of 35,000 residents a year between 2001 and 2007 yet had a slight net out-migration in 2009. Of this group, Indiana's Lake County had the largest 2009 net out-migration at nearly 1,600 residents. Overall, migration to Louisville's suburbs was down too, yet Indiana's Clark and Floyd counties bucked the broader trend as their net influx in 2009 outpaced their average from earlier in the decade.
Homeownership in Retreat
The rate of household formation is down but this trend should improve when the economy does. A 2010 study indicated that a 2 percentage point drop in the U.S. unemployment rate between 2010 and 2012 would increase the nation's household formations by 2 percentage points over the same period.4 But will these new households be looking to buy at the same levels seen prior to the housing crash or will they continue to tilt more heavily toward the rental market? Given tighter lending standards, the continued fallout from the foreclosure crisis and lagging incomes in Indiana, the latter seems more likely.
Indiana's homeownership rate has already dropped precipitously since the onset of the housing slump. Data from the Census Bureau's Housing Vacancy Survey indicate that after a dramatic climb in homeownership beginning in the mid 1990s that was fueled by easier access to credit and the aging of the baby boom generation, the state's homeownership rate plunged 3 percentage points between 2008 and 2010. According to the 2010 Census, the state's homeownership rate now stands at 69.9 percent, which is below the mark measured in 1990 (70.2 percent) and 2000 (71.4 percent).
Indiana's overall rate in 2010 masks what is an even more dramatic fall in homeownership. Under normal conditions, Indiana's homeownership rate would have risen simply because the state is growing older and homeownership increases with age. Baby boomers are now between the ages of 45 and 65, meaning that this age group holds a larger share of the state's population than ever before. This expansion of the prime homeownership age group tends to boost the rate, even if age-specific homeownership rates are down.
And Indiana's age-specific homeownership rates are down significantly. The homeownership rates for each 10-year age group between the ages of 25 and 54 are down roughly 4.5 percentage points when compared to the 2000 Census (see Figure 5). The homeownership rate for the 55 to 64 age group was down 2.9 percentage points to 81.3 percent while the share of Indiana seniors that owned their home increased slightly to 80.6 percent. These data underscore the toll that the spike in foreclosures and the economic downturn have taken on homeownership.
Figure 5: Indiana Homeownership Rates by Age, 1990 to 2010
Another factor that could continue to tilt the balance between homeownership and renting is Indiana's increasing racial and ethnic diversity. Over the last decade, an additional 175,000 Hispanic residents called Indiana home—an 82 percent increase. The state's black population grew by nearly 77,000 while the number of white residents increased by 67,000.5 With these different growth rates, Indiana's white population went from 86 percent of the state's total in 2000 to 82 percent in 2010. Meanwhile, the state's black and Hispanic populations now account for 9 percent and 6 percent of the total, respectively.
These are meaningful shifts considering that housing trends vary widely by race and ethnicity in Indiana. For instance, the homeownership rate for Indiana's white householders is 74 percent (see Figure 6). By contrast, 52 percent of the state's Hispanic households own their homes and just 41 percent of black households are owner-occupied.
Figure 6: Indiana Population Change and Homeownership Rates by Race and Ethnicity, 2000 to 2010
Wide income disparities certainly play a large role in the different rates of homeownership. The 2010 median household income for Indiana's white population was $47,200 compared to $33,200 for Hispanic households. The median household income for Indiana's black households was $30,000. Clearly, economic development and improved educational outcomes will be critical to closing the gaps in income and homeownership.
One hopeful sign that this gap could already be closing is the improved homeownership rate of Indiana's Hispanic population. Between 2000 and 2010, the state's Hispanic homeownership rate increased by nearly four percentage points. Unfortunately, the experience for Indiana's black population has been far different. In 2000, 45.2 percent of Indiana's black householders owned their home but this mark dropped to 40.6 percent by 2010. The homeownership rate for Indiana's white population also declined slightly over the decade.
It may well be appropriate that more Hoosiers look to rent and that Indiana's homeownership rate settles at a more sustainable level. However, the combined effects of the decline in household formation, migration and homeownership have implications for the broader economy. Residential fixed investment (RFI), which tends to be a key leading indicator for the economy, has yet to contribute consistently to the nation's economic recovery. In fact, since 1950, RFI has accounted for 4.7 percent of U.S. GDP on average. As housing demand has nosedived, however, RFI's share of economic activity stood at just 2.3 percent in 2010—the lowest annual mark since the end of World War II.
The pieces are in place for a housing recovery. Homes have rarely been more affordable and mortgage interest rates are at historic lows. During a more typical economic slump, these conditions would likely help to spur an economic recovery but the opposite is true this time. Given housing's central role in this downturn, it appears that only a sustained recovery in other areas of the economy will stoke the demographic drivers of housing demand.
For its report, the Pew Research Center defined multi-generational households as a household that includes a parent and an adult child (age 25 or older), three or more generations living together, or grandparents raising grandchildren alone.
"Fighting Poverty in a Tough Economy, Americans Move in with Their Relatives," Pew Research Center, October 2011, www.pewsocialtrends.org/files/2011/10/Multigenerational-Households-Final1.pdf.
In the case of the Indianapolis metro area, the suburban counties are Boone, Brown, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Morgan, Putnam and Shelby. Marion County is the metro area's core county and is excluded from these numbers. Many of the Midwest's core metro counties—Marion County included—saw marked improvements in their net migration figures through the downturn as the flow of residents to suburban areas or to other fast-growing regions of the country slowed.
Gary Painter,"What Happens to Household Formation in a Recession?", Research Institute for Housing America, April 2010.
The term Hispanic refers to an ethnicity and not a race so Hispanic residents can be of any race. The figures reported for specific race groups in this section exclude the Hispanic residents of that race. Therefore, figures for the state's white population, for example, refer to non-Hispanic white residents.

Gauguin: exoticization, primitivism & paganism
By Pauline 06/09/2014 06/09/2014 arts and culture, history, Religion, spirituality
"'Gauguin: Metamorphoses,' which opens on Friday at MoMA in New York, recasts the artist as an altogether darker figure, closer to Edvard Munch and the dark pre-Freudians of Northern Europe than the post-impressionist confraternity of Van Gogh, Seurat and Cézanne," Jason Farago wrote in his review ("Gauguin: Metamorphoses review – 'Forceful, disturbing, obscene'," Guardian, 6 March 2014) of the blockbuster exhibition that I was lucky enough to see before it closed, and it was indeed a revelation that shifted my view of this seminal artist.
There is on the one hand the exoticization & objectification of Tahitian women, which is objectionable particularly in relation to the relationships he had with them; but on the other hand, there is also his primitivism, which is not simply an exoticization of a foreign culture by a colonial tourist, but is in fact the expression of a longing for & even reconstruction of a lost pagan culture that had already nearly disappeared when Gauguin arrived in Tahiti. In his rejection of what he saw as the hypocrisy & culturally destructive colonialism of French Catholicism in Tahiti, Gauguin was very much on target, and a balanced assessment of his art — as this exhibition gave us — needs to take that into account as well as the objectionable aspects of it as well. I will never look on Gauguin's languorous Tahitian women again without also thinking of his invocations of Oviri~!

Q: rotate_sprite rotation is ~65625 times too small I'm using c++98 and Allegro 4 and I'm attempting to use the rotate_sprite function.  The documentation claims that in the angle parameter, 256 is a full circle and 64 is a right angle.

void rotate_sprite(BITMAP *bmp, BITMAP *sprite, int x, int y, fixed angle);

When testing, I found that the sprite did not rotate, but also found when I significantly increased the parameter I was able to get rotation with the number 4200000 appearing to provide a right angle.
rotate_sprite(world, plane, plane_x, plane_y, 4200000 * plane_r);
//plane_r is an int 0 to 3

So my question is why does 4200000 yield a right angle when the documentation claims a 64 will yield a right angle?  And what is the actual value of a right angle?  4200000 worked in this instance, but what is the exact number for the future?

A: The itofix function is used to turn the integer into a a fixed point 16.16 number, which is the type of the parameter.  So a working version of the sample from above is:
rotate_sprite(world, plane, plane_x, plane_y, itofix(plane_r * 64));

National security 'comes first' in Huawei 5G review: Champagne
Infrastructure Minister cites need to properly assess whatever risk, or benefits, that there might be.
by Jim Bronskill
OTTAWA — National security "comes first" in deciding whether to allow Huawei Technologies to take part in developing Canada's 5G telecommunications network, Infrastructure Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne says.
Canada must be prudent and rely on the input of its intelligence services before ruling on whether the Chinese firm should be involved in the next-generation wireless communication system, Champagne said Monday during a roundtable interview with The Canadian Press.
"We understand that there are concerns and we need to properly assess whatever risk, or benefits, that there might be."
Former security officials in Canada and two members of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence have warned that Huawei's participation could compromise the security of Canada and its closest allies. The thinking is that the Chinese company could build spying capabilities into equipment it supplies.
Huawei stresses it is not a state-controlled company and denies engaging in intelligence work on behalf of any government.
The Opposition Conservatives urged the Trudeau government anew on Monday to leave Huawei out of Canada's 5G infrastructure, which is expected to enable much faster connections and greater data capacity.
"It seems like the only Canadians not concerned about the threat Huawei poses to our mobile network are sitting in the Liberal benches," Conservative MP Dan Albas said during question period. "This is a major security threat, and this government refuses to do anything about it."
The government wants to make sure Canadians have access to new mobile technology without compromising on security, replied Liberal MP David Lametti, parliamentary secretary to the innovation minister.
Three of Canada's partners in the "Five Eyes"intelligence-sharing group _ the United States, Australia and New Zealand – have forbidden the use of Huawei products in 5G network development in their countries.
Champagne said listening to allies is part of the review process, but he has full faith in Canada's intelligence officials to provide the best advice to government.
"I think prudence is the right approach when it comes to complex national security issues like that, when it comes to networks," he said. "Canada is a welcoming place for investors, but clearly our national security always comes first."
Champagne didn't discuss a deadline for the government review, saying the process is too important to rush.
"I think Canadians would expect us to do the proper due diligence," he said. "Whatever timeline that may imply, I think this is too serious to cut corners or to be expedient. This is about getting to the right outcome."
Scott Jones, the head of Canada's new cyber security centre, wouldn't get into details of the examination during a recent news conference on online threats.
"We're doing a comprehensive review of how do we respond to the 5G technology shift, but the broader cybersecurity environment as well, and making sure that we're prepared as a nation for what we have to face," Jones said.
The recent arrest of a senior Huawei executive in Canada has only heightened tensions around the issue.
The US is seeking to have Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's chief financial officer, extradited on allegations that she tried to bypass American trade sanctions on Iran.
Beijing has warned Canada of unspecified "grave consequences" for the arrest.
Asked about any ramifications for Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was succinct.
"We are a country of the rule of law," he said. "We live up to our international obligations and we trust our courts to do the right thing."

Women and men face different challenges with respect to anger. For many men, anger is often an emotion that they feel is socially acceptable for them to express. In contrast, for women anger is often the only emotion they feel they are not supposed to have. Historically, women's anger has often been made wrong and dismissed, whereas men's anger has been encouraged and even celebrated.
In our Healing Anger Groups for Women, we offer a safe and supportive setting where women can learn how to relate to this powerful emotion in a caring and constructive way.
Reflective groups: Deepen your respectful speaking and listening skills while solving a complex situation you might be going through.
Therapeutic writing: Get to know yourself better in a cost-effective and safe way.
Shadow work: Go deep into pain or trauma. Whatever each participant decides to do with their time is okay.
The Advanced Groups aim to go even deeper in exploring our connection to our emotions, and finding healthy ways to express and learn from our emotions. Women that have already attended our Healing Anger group are welcome to join us. We offer the Advanced Groups about four times per year, according to the number of women who want to participate.
The Intensive Group is a one day group for healing anger graduates. Women here aim to go even deeper in exploring our connection to our emotions in a safe place and finding healthy ways to express and learn from them. Dates to be announced.

When I first spotted these Tahari pants, I knew I had to have them. Instead of paying the suggested retail price of $178, I got them for $20! It was a STEAL! Thank you Marshalls!
I decided to pair the trousers with my Lenox StyleMint T because it was slim cut and I knew I could tuck it in without it being bulky. Also, the modern stripes make the outfit feel a little less 1973 and a little more 2013.
Since the pants have an inseam of 35" and they were just a tad too long, I wore my black Coach platform sandals (also worn here) to keep them from dragging, but also to elongate my legs just a little bit more.
Couldn't resist using the gold flecked mirrors to add to the vintage feel.
Overall, I was pleased with the results! I added a belt I bought way back when from Forever 21 that I've never worn until now, and I also wore a Swarovski bee charm (bought from Gilt) that I added to a JewelMint chain to wear as a necklace.
This is one of my new favorite outfits and I'll be looking forward to experimenting with different tops to change up the look from time to time.


The future was in sharp focus in Sulphur yesterday.
State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister, along with other members of the State Department of Education, gave a presentation to administrators from Sulphur and Davis schools, as well as the Sulphur and Davis chambers of commerce, about education funding, ICAP, the teacher shortage and Oklahoma Edge, an eight-year statewide comprehensive education improvement plan.
The plan, which went into effect in 2017, emphasizes career guidance counseling, childhood literacy, improving Oklahoma's education rankings and improving graduation rates. She said Oklahoma teachers will need a lot more support before those goals are within reach.
During the presentation, Hofmeister spoke about financial and professional support for teachers as an attempt to stem the teacher shortage and improve the quality of education students receive.
Davis Superintendent Mark Moring said his district has keenly felt the absence of counselors in the last few years, and the additional proposed funding for counselors and mental health professionals would make a big difference if approved.
He said the high school's one counselor serves about 280 students, and a second counselor handles all students from Pre-K through eighth grade. During her presentation, Hofmeister mentioned the ideal counselor ratio is roughly 250 students to one counselor. Statewide, the average counselor-to-student ratio is one to 435.
The department rolled out the Individual Career Academic Plan, a career development program students start when they're young and continue throughout high school, in 2017. Hofmeister said ICAP is part of the overall comprehensive Oklahoma Edge plan. During the presentation, Hofmeister showed a video of professionals unwittingly becoming mentors when presented with a student struggling with an assignment on a laptop, to demonstrate how anyone can take on a teaching role.
"We're working on rolling that out so it's not just a graduation requirement on a piece of paper, it's really a process, it's about planning." Hofmeister said.
Sulphur Superintendent Paula Crawford said mentorship programs and ICAPs are all on her district's radar.
She said Sulphur's business community already has close ties to the schools, so mentorships and internships are a natural progression for the district.

DJ@WAR
There are very few DJ's in the world that can attest to the same level of versatility as DJ@War. Devastating dancefloors in both prestigious dance sanctuaries and exclusive VIP havens in over 25 countries worldwide, DJ@War has the accolades that show that he can truly rock any crowd, anywhere in the world. Further to the fact that as a producer his tracks have released on some of the biggest dance labels in the world (Ministry of Sound, Toolroom & more), earning support from the likes of Fedde Le Grande, Michael Woods, David Guetta, and many others.
But even with his newfound success as a producer, the place where DJ@War shines brightest is behind the decks on the international stage, whether rocking with the likes of Porter Robinson at Sankeys in England (DJ Mag's #7 club in the world), headlining for Pacha in Malta, or dropping the bass at Elune in South Korea. DJ@War's taste for electronic music is wide-ranging….from electro dancefloor destroyers to progressive, latin, and tech house.
Where things get even more interesting is when DJ@War is asked to perform one of his "anything goes" sets, ranging from hip-hop to rock, 80's pop, and everything else in between. DJ@War has a wealth of experience on the global VIP DJ circuit, entertaining for A-list celebrities and corporate brands at some of the most prestigious VIP hangouts in the world, including M1nt (Shanghai), Chinawhite (London), and Indochine (Zurich). He's been called upon for private events for some of the most famous celebrites in the world- Rihanna at Bungalow 8 (London) and Jay-Z at Chinawhite (London Brits Afterparty 2010), not to mention his corporate resume, which includes parties for Smirnoff in Kenya, Moet in Switzerland, and Adidas in the UK.
As a producer DJ@War found doors opening naturally for him. His most recent project found him releasing 7 tracks on Ministry of Sound with the album "Jaguar Skills & His Amazing Friends." The album was a great success, solidifying itself at #2 in the UK Itunes Dance Chart and propelling DJ@War into the spotlight as an electronic music producer. With previous releases under his belt on Toolroom and Downright (Ministry of Sound Australia), DJ@War has found his tracks in the playlists of legends like Eric Morillo, Eddie Halliwell, and Adam F amongst others. Not bad for someone that only started making music in 2009!
Born and raised in the USA, DJ@War (born Joshua Hodge) used music as escapism from a rocky childhood. The skating rink was refuge for Josh, providing that early influence of old school electro, hip-hop, and rock that would serve as the bedrock for his passion. Serving in the US Air Force brought Josh from the USA to England, where he stayed after separating in 2005. Shortly after, he entered the DMC DJ Competition, battling his way to the US Finals in 2006. Winning several national DJ competitions spurred Josh's career forward into the international DJ and producer he is today.
Recently coming off a 12 date UK tour with Jaguar Skills (BBC Radio One), DJ@War is jumping straight back into the studio to finish his single with Tom Piper for Downright Records, along with a collaborative EP with Jaguar Skills. With these upcoming releases coupled with a hectic tour schedule, the DJ@War movement is rapidly growing and shows no signs of slowing.

I shall move as early tomorrow morning as practicable with a column of 17,000 men to Dillon's, situated on the main road leading from Raymond to Port Gibson, 7 1/2 miles below Raymond and 9 1/2 miles from Edwards Depot. The object is to cut the enemy's communications and to force him to attack me, as I do not consider my force sufficient to justify an attack on the enemy in position or to attempt to cut my way to Jackson. At this point your nearest communication would be through Raymond. I wish very much I could join my re-enforcements. Whether it will be most practicable for the re-enforcements to come by Raymond (leaving it to the right if the march cannot be made through Raymond) or to move them WEST along the line of railroad (leaving it to the left and south of the line of march) to Bolton Depot, or some other point WEST of it, you must determine. In either movement I should be advised as to the time and road, so that co-operation may be had to enable the re-enforcements to come through. I send you a map of the country, which will furnish you with a correct view of the roads and localities.
SPECIAL ORDERS, HDQRS. DEPT. OF Mississippi AND EASTERN LOUISIANA, Number -. Edwards Depot, May 14, 1863.
1. Colonel Wirt Adams' cavalry will form the advance guard, keeping at least 1 mile in advance of the head of the column, throwing out one company in front of his column and a small detachment in its advance, besides the flankers upon his column, when practicable.
3. Bowen's DIVISION will constitute the center, and will follow the leading DIVISION.
4. Stevenson's DIVISION will constitute the left, bringing up the rear of the column.
5. The artillery of each brigade will march in the rear of their brigade.
7. The ordnance wagons of each DIVISION will follow in the rear of their DIVISION.
8. The wagon train will follow in rear of the entire column.
11. The wagon train will follow in the order of DIVISION; that is to say, the wagon train of Loring's DIVISION on the right of the train; that of Bowen's DIVISION in the center,&c. Quartermasters, commissaries, and ordnance officers will remain with their trains unless otherwise ordered. Straggling, always disgraceful in an army, is particularly forbidden. Stringent orders will be issued by permit no one to fall to the rear under any circumstances.
A continuous and heavy rain had made Baker's Creek impassable by the ordinary ford on the main Raymond road, where the country bridge had by previous freshets. In consequence of this, the march was delayed for several hours, but the water not falling sufficiently to make the creek fordable, the column was directed by the Clinton road, on which was a good bridge, and, after passing the creek upward of 1 1/2 miles, was filed to the right along a neighborhood road, so as to strike the Raymond road about 3 1/2 miles from Edwards Depot. The march was continued until the head of the column had passed Mrs. Elliston's house, where it was halted, and the troops bivouacked in order of march. I made my headquarters at Mrs. Elliston's, where I found Major-General Loring had also established his.

Daughter of a Sunset Scavenger
Historical Essay
An excerpt from the Telegraph Hill Dwellers Oral History Project's Interview with Ines Belli, by Audrey Tomaselli
Ines's father and uncle, circa 1912, at Langton and Howard.
Photo courtesy Ines Belli
There was a time when hiring a moving truck at the corner of Union and Columbus was about as easy as hailing a cab is today — maybe easier. All around Washington Square, draymen parked horse and cart, looking to carry the next load. Around 1918, the mother of Ines Belli took advantage of this convenience when she decided her boys — who were later to become a judge and a lawyer — were being blamed in their Lombard Street neighborhood for vandalism they didn't commit. "We're moving," said Rose Molinari. "What about my wine?" said Ines's father, Giovanni.
"I don't care about your wine," said Rose. "We're leaving tomorrow."
So Rose went to the square and hired the movers who transported the family to 948 Union, a property that Ines's father had built for income, and where Ines Belli has now lived for all but three of her 88 years.
Ines Belli told this story, and many others, as part of the Telegraph Hill Dwellers' Oral History Project. Reading these interviews, one enters a North Beach time warp, where ATM machines and cellular-phone stores don't exist; instead, there are the shops and businesses of a bustling turn-of-the-20th-century immigrant community.
You're transported to a world where one purchases a funeral wreath at the Azzaro Flower Shop — site of the current day Caffé Roma. Or you cross the street to the Lippi Brothers, now La Boulangerie, to shop for dinner at the "most gorgeous vegetable store you ever saw. You'd go there and they'd wrap everything in a piece of newspaper. You'd get your carrots, your beans and anything that went into minestrone."
Ines and the other contributors to this project are tangible links to North Beach's past. They know, for example, that the word ANCHOR, spelled out in tiles at 515 Columbus (in front of the U.S. Restaurant), come from a drug store by that name that was once at that address. And they know the real use of the still existing "hanging roofs" — roofs with clotheslines on them, often surrounded by a picket fence — where "everyone would take a great basket of wet clothes and go up three flights. And you'd go hang everything — diapers — everything."
As important as these accounts are for helping us preserve the memories of an earlier time, Ines and the other respondents also provide a glimpse into a generation of immigrants that feeds the diversity that is America.
Most everyone on the block where Ines lived came from the small towns around Chiavari, Italy, and none of them left much behind worth hanging onto. The Molinari family came from hill country. After all, Ines says, "What can you grow on a hill?" In 1929, the Molinaris, now prosperous, returned to Italy to examine the property still owned by the family. Ines's oldest brother looked at the land and told her father, "Whatever you do, don't leave it to me."
"It was like that," says Ines.
For the most part, the early arrivals were single men. "At first," says Ines, they came to make money and go home, "but then, when my father's generation came, their idea was to stay."
Ines's father went to work as a garbage man for the Torres company. He soon bought his own horse and wagon, and founded the Scavengers' Protective Union. That eventually became the Sunset Scavenger Co. To this day, one of Ines's sons remains involved with the company.
The Immigrant Ethic
Like many others from immigrant families, Ines has stories of honesty and hard work paying off. "There was a store on Geary called Nathan Dorman, and they had all beautiful crystal and dishes, and Papa had them as a customer. And one day Papa saw this big box outside, and he looked and saw what he thought was glass (he didn't know anything about crystal). Papa told Mr. Dorman about it, and Mr. Dorman never forgot his honesty. Whenever Papa asked for a raise, he gave it to him without question."
Buried Treasure?
Frugality, as well, was part of the immigrant ethic. "My father decided to put some money away in case another crash came. So he put — I think — $500 in a tin box in the basement. The trouble was he forgot about it for many years. When he opened the box up the money had turned to mush. All these Italians were great at hiding money away. I wouldn't be surprised if there are boxes hidden out there in all those backyards we see from this window. And then they die and nobody knows it's there."
Over the years, this collection of immigrant families developed the traditions and institutions of a community. There was, of course, the church. Ines remembers the construction of SS Peter and Paul's in the 1920s. She recalls her communion when only the basement was finished. "We used to go to the old church on Grant and Filbert for catechism. But my confirmation was held upstairs. They finished the new church between my communion and my confirmation."
Ines belonged to the Handmaidens. It was, she says, "a Catholic thing… We had little white outfits and we marched in the Columbus Day Parade. I suppose we were ready to be sainted, but I doubt it."

Then there were the social clubs. "Papa belonged to the Balilla Club. They would have dances and picnics — family affairs. We'd go to these picnics and everyone would bring their jug of wine in a doctor's case. See, it was Prohibition.
"Balilla was some kind of Genovese hero, who killed someone with a slingshot. The men had their meetings down in Garibaldi Hall on Broadway between Columbus and Kearny. It was very exclusive. There were only 30 or so members. And new members only got in when someone died."
Of course, there was the important community business of getting the young folks married to an Italian. Typically, a lot of these pairings were sparked at weddings. "That's how you met people: at weddings." Ines' two oldest boys met their wives [who are sisters] at a wedding, and Ines met her future husband, Rino, the same way.

Foreign Impressions
Feel the energy
A Korean-born Canadian fully embraces living in Poland, revelling in its 'energy of unpredictability' to ultimately develop an innovative solution to the world's plastic waste problem.
By the age of six, Susan Kim-Chomicka had crisscrossed the world, living in four different countries and cultures. She was born in South Korea but lived in Japan and Vietnam as a child before immigrating to Canada where she grew up. After finishing her degree in economics at Smith College in the US, she managed a portfolio of corporate pension clients at Aetna Capital Management in NYC. She returned to Canada to pursue life as an entrepreneur, growing a family business of properties and restaurants. In 2002, she moved to Seoul, Korea where she met a Polish diplomat who was posted there. The two married in 2004 and moved to Warsaw, Poland. When her husband was posted as Ambassador to China, the family moved to Beijing for 6 years. Upon returning, she started a consultancy company which helped Chinese businesses invest in Poland. Susan is now the CEO of Handerek Technologies, which has created a cost-effective method of converting plastic waste into high-quality fuel.
What can you tell us about your startup, Handerek Technologies?
We have developed a groundbreaking patented solution for chemically recycling non-recyclable plastics into liquid hydrocarbons. These liquid hydrocarbons are basically, petrochemical products, which can then be used as a feedstock to produce virgin plastics or used as low carbon alternative fuel. There's a tremendous amount of interest from various industries because plastic waste is a global problem. Our goal is to bring our technology to the world, make a real impact on recycling rates and create a successful Polish brand.
What's the best thing about Poland?
Life in Calgary, Canada, where I'm from, is quite predictable. It's a fantastic place to live if you want to enjoy nature, spend time with family and have a calm, easy life. Poland is not quite so predictable. There's still this energy and drive to develop and grow as a country. With my startup, I see that people strive to improve and everybody works hard, there's this energy of wanting to get somewhere and I really appreciate that.
How have you embraced living here?
I'm a Polish citizen and I'm probably more of a patriot than a lot of Poles. When my husband was posted abroad as an ambassador, we represented
Poland. As a foreign-born spouse, I feel a great sense of responsibility to learn the Polish language, history, culture and even cooking. Although I don't have an official position per se, I was often on the 'front line' which is why I've probably indoctrinated myself with Polish culture more than most. I am grateful for the warm welcome I have received by all the Poles I have met.
Handerek Technologies was established in January 2018 but its R&D team members have over 30 years of experience developing patented technologies. Headquartered in Warsaw, the technology company develops innovations which can effectively break down waste's molecular structures and efficiently convert their building blocks into clean fuels, chemicals and other resources.
What's your take on Polish food?
I love Polish food, especially the soups. We go to my mother-in-law's every Sunday and she always prepares a feast. The food scene in Warsaw is quite good. The quality and diversity of food has improved a lot from the first time I visited in 2003. My feeling is that due to the 100+ years of partition of Poland and then the occupation of the Soviet Union, there was this push against foreign influence on food because it was about preserving the culture, but now that Poland has a secure place in the world, it's more open for diversity in its food.
How has Poland changed you?
Poland has made me appreciate culture and I love how it's blended into everyday life. In Canada, we would go to the philharmonic maybe once every six months and it's a special occasion. But in Poland, we go to concerts in the park, photographic exhibitions, music festivals and all sorts of cultural events regularly, which are often free.
What's your advice would you offer to foreigners in Poland?
I would tell foreigners that if you expect things to be the same as in your country, then go home. Sorry, this is not your country. This is Poland, so there are things that are better, there are things that are worse, but it's all about your attitude and you can't take things personally. For example, I lived in a place for six months before the clerks in the shop across the street smiled at me. But I didn't take it personally because that's just how they are. But in Korea, salespeople constantly bow and crowd around you. Thus, there's a big difference, but I understand that it depends on the society's mentality and customs.

Premier Su Tseng-chang on his first day as head of the Executive Yuan traveled to Taoyuan International Airport to inspect point-of-entry prevention measures against African swine fever (ASF), and encourage the front-line team responsible for the endeavor.
Blocking prohibited meat products from coming into Taiwan requires heightened efforts, said the premier, especially with the Lunar New Year holiday fast approaching. An outbreak of ASF in Taiwan could result in losses of more than NT$100 billion (US$3.24 billion), so achieving a 100-percent inspection rate for all luggage—both checked and hand-carried—is even more critical. This is especially true for flights arriving from high-risk areas.
Following the airport visit, Premier Su made a stop at a local Taoyuan livestock farm to learn more about the feeding of animals with kitchen-scrap swill and related illness prevention and health management work.

We made a list and we're checking it twice. It's a shopping list for the supermarket and in 2018 we're eliminating foods that have been making us gain weight. Some are obvious offenders and some are sneaky. We think having them spelled out in front of us will keep them out of our carts – and yours – for good.
"Refined wheat, aka white flour, contains no nutrients and leaves your body hungrier than when you sat down to eat," says Dr. Marizelle Arce. You probably think that you're avoiding white flour and only eating the healthy stuff. Just because a food is described as "whole wheat" or "seven-grain" doesn't mean it's good for you unless it has at least 4 grams of fiber. Any food that lists "wheat flour" or "unbleached enriched flour" is pure weight gain promoting junk. "These empty calorie carbs will cause the next meal you have to be stored and turn into fat," says Dr. Arce.
Put down the glass and don't take anther sip. Juice can add pounds. "A healthy meal should provide a combo of protein, fat, and carbs with at least 5 grams of fiber," says Alix Turoff, a New York City nutritionist and trainer. "But juices lack fiber so what you're getting is just a carb that's going to spike your blood sugar." But you thought fruit had fiber. And it does. But fiber gets lost when a fruit is juiced. All of the phytonutrients found in fresh whole fruit doesn't translate to just juice, says Turoff. You're much better off squeezing some fresh citrus into a tall glass of water.
Muffins take second place to bagels as the worst food you could buy at the grocery store. You're fooling yourself into thinking they are NOT cake! Muffins cause a spike in blood sugar that begins a cycle of hunger and binging that ends in your body storing fat. We think the chocolate chip varieties are amazing and the temptation is real. But we like the way our jeans fit, thank you very much.
Sausage can be high in saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars, says Dang. "I'm not saying you should never eat them again, but to enjoy sausage in moderation with a balanced meal." And by that she means including whole grain toast and fruit. If you must absolutely have sausage once in a while, choose wisely. Dang suggests sausage made from lean meat such as turkey. "It's a more nutritious option that also provides less calories and saturated fat compared to pork sausages," she says. You can get a similar savory flavor from chicken sausage and turkey bacon or even a couple of slices of lean ham. Remember to read labels and scrutinize the calories and fat and sugar contents.
"Sugary cereal is a terrible food," says David Baillie, a Connecticut-based personal trainer and owner of Front-Line Fitness. That means basically any box with a cartoon character on it. He says many cereals are highly processed, and full of sugar and refined carbohydrates. All of that added sugar is a big reason why cereal-eaters put on pounds. It's super important to read the food labels on cereal boxes and aim for one that has at least 3 to 5 grams fiber and no more than 5 grams sugar per serving. And then look to see how much is in a serving. A typical recommended serving size is 30 grams, which Baillie says is about half of what the average person eats.


Vietnam is known for long standing agriculture development with many worldwide agriculture export products such as rice, cashew, coffee, spices, vegetables… Tremendous productive benefits have been derived from the use of pesticide nowadays. On the other hands, consumption of pesticide residues has been linked to several adverse impacts on human health. Pesticide testing takes important part in export process especially to countries have stringent regulations about maximum residue limit (MRL) such as Japan, Europe, and America.
Chemical and Biology MRL regulations No. 46/2007/QĐ-BYT issued by Ministry of Health in Vietnam has clearly defined MRL. The European Commission fixes MRLs for all food and animal feed. Regulation EC 396/2005 and amendments legislation MRLs apply to 315 fresh products and to the same product after processing, adjusted to take account of dilution or concentration during the process.

Jealous of the Birds: The Moths of What I Want Will Eat Me in My Sleep Review
By Eric R. Danton | July 9, 2018 | 11:04am
Music Reviews Jealous of the Birds
Naomi Hamilton pursues an unusual strategy on her new EP as Jealous of the Birds: four of the five songs appeared on her 2016 album Parma Violets, in slightly different form. The changes are subtle, but the songs are excellent, so think of it as a second chance to discover the singer from Belfast, Northern Ireland, before she breaks out.
Hamilton writes literary lyrics, delivering precise, evocative images with the confident air of someone who thinks a lot about words and their meanings and how they fit together. Sounds right: she began writing songs a few years ago while studying English and creative writing in college. The first line she sings on "Trouble in Bohemia" is, "I'll buy a van the color of Christ's blood," and you've got to figure that's probably not a stock color. Then there's "Plastic Skeletons," the new song on the EP, where Hamilton sings, "Notebooks filled with dirty poems / All slanted like hip bones of women / Who stand and twist the cords of telephones," her breathy voice rising and falling in a dizzying sing-song over a bright, keening electric guitar line that gives the song an Eastern tinge.
Though her songs have a vintage feel, it's filtered through a wide-ranging sensibility with modern touches. Along with the sitar-like guitar drone on "Plastic Skeletons," she dials in pastoral woodwinds on "Miss Misanthrope" and a shaggy combination of acoustic guitars and drums on "Trouble in Bohemia." There are dark glimmers of electric piano on "Tonight I Feel Like Kafka" and punky, overdriven guitars on "Russian Doll." Whatever the musical accompaniment, Hamilton sings with poise and self-assurance in a voice equally capable of whiskey-toned murmurs and full-throated melodicism. Either way, she has a magnetic presence that makes these songs mesmerizing, even the second time around.

The Minnesota Wild will look to end a four-game losing streak on Sunday. The Wild are five points behind the Chicago Blackhawks for first place in the Central Division and are 1-6-0 in their past seven games following a 3-2 loss against the New York Rangers at Xcel Energy Center on Saturday. "They've got to get it in their heads that what worked before will work again," coach Bruce Boudreau said. "It's going to be a battle of mental toughness." Boudreau said he feels mistakes are being made because his players are trying too hard to make the right plays. "Right now, when things don't go the way you want them to, people start doing individual things. They try to start making the tough plays, they stay out a little longer than they're supposed to because they just want to make good things happen." Forward Eric Staal, will play in his 1,000th NHL game Sunday. "We've got to make sure that we come to play [Sunday] and get after a win, and get a good vibe going again," Staal said.
Winnipeg Jets forward Shawn Matthias will have shoulder surgery and will miss the rest of the season, coach Paul Maurice said Saturday. Matthias did not play in a 4-2 win against the New York Islanders on Thursday. "He had a pre-existing labral tear that he's been trying to deal with, and it just got to the point where he can't [play]," Maurice said. "It's a full-on rehab; we're talking about months." Defenseman Paul Postma is day-to-day because of a lower-body injury and will not play. Defenseman Brian Strait has been recalled from Manitoba of the American Hockey League and will take Postma's place. Winnipeg is 12 points behind the Nashville Predators for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference with 11 games remaining. Winnipeg is 0-4-0 against the Wild this season. "Obviously, they're big, strong and they play good defense," forward Mark Scheifele said of the Wild. "They can score at the same time. They have some high end skill up front and their [defense] jump up into the rush. They got a team that's in the standings for a reason. It's a tough test. Hopefully we can get the best of them this time."
Hellebuyck will start his 16th consecutive game. … Trouba will have at least another week of rehab. … Myers isn't far off from consecutive skating days, according to Maurice.
Granlund has 15 points (eight goals, seven assists) in his past 14 games. … Staal has six points (five goals, one assist) in his past five games. … Scheifele has 17 points (three goals, 14 assists) in his past 13 games. … Ehlers has nine points (two goals, seven assists) in his past six games. … Laine has 16 points (10 goals, six assists) in his past 13 games, leads all rookies in scoring with 60 points (33 goals, 27 assists).

Capitals' Neuvirth has bruised right foot
Goaltender experiences setback at practice Monday
Michal Neuvirth
By Stephen Whyno - The Washington Times - Monday, October 17, 2011
The pain for Michal Neuvirth comes when he's simply putting on his right skate. It gets worse when he's trying to push off and move from side to side.
Neuvirth is dealing with a bruised right foot suffered from taking a shot in pregame warmups Oct. 10. And just when it looked like he was able to practice with the Capitals Monday, he left the ice after just a few minutes as he was feeling "too sore" to stay out there.
"It's a big bruise and [I'm] trying to ice it," Neuvirth said. "I can't really push on the ice or anything like that. I feel a lot of pain right now."
The Caps had been characterizing the 23-year-old's issue as only a "lower-body injury" and kept calling him day-to-day. He missed three straight days of practice last week, worked out for an hour after Saturday's morning skate and appeared to be on the mend.
Then came Monday's setback, as coach Bruce Boudreau noted that the goalie was "still sore."
"It was a little test. It was too sore to stay on the ice," Neuvirth said. "It's getting better and hopefully it's going to get better and I'll get healthy soon."
But Neuvirth said there was no timetable for his return to game action. Boudreau cautioned that he would probably have to go through a full practice before even serving as a backup to Tomas Vokoun, so it's possible the Caps recall either Dany Sabourin or Braden Holtby before Tuesday's game against the Panthers.
Neuvirth conceded he was experiencing pain when trying to put pressure on that right foot and move from side-to-side. Vokoun pointed out that foot injuries are rare with goalies, so it makes it more difficult to know what's wrong and how to adjust.
"Obviously he's frustrated because it's kind of bad injury for [goalies]," Vokoun said. "… The skate squeezes your heel, and it's giving him problems."
Day-to-day will likely remain the official word from the team, but Vokoun said a timeline is even uncertain with an injury like this.
"I've never had it and it's not common," the 35-year-old said. "So it's kind of hard to project how long it's going to bother you."
