Belichick uses thermometers to play mind games
Bill Belichick thinks of everything. That attention to detail is what makes him possibly the greatest coach in NFL history.

Plan would use tax breaks to repopulate rural Georgia
ATLANTA (AP) - A group of state lawmakers is exploring the idea of using income tax breaks to help repopulate rural Georgia and the ghost towns that now dot the landscape after years of population decline.The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the “Rural Relocate and Reside” program would offer one-time, 10-year state income tax deductions of up to $50,000 to new residents of certain counties.More money could be available if a county wanted to attract a particular individual or group.The idea is far from becoming reality. But current discussions about helping rural areas involve 124 of Georgia’s 159 counties.

Bright Ideas 2018: Allow local nonprofits to use empty office space
For the fifth year, Cap Times reporters asked several Madisonians to share their "bright ideas" for the new year. We will publish the 2018 edition of Bright Ideas throughout the next week. According to the 2015 “Nonprofit Wisconsin in Brief, Size and Scope” published by the Wisconsin Nonprofit Association and Forward Community Investments, there are approximately 3,805 public charities in Wisconsin that raise between $25,000 and $100,000 annually. My idea is to take underutilized office space and offer it to a small local nonprofit. Opening your doors to a charitable organization could make a huge difference in how they operate and allow them to have a larger impact on their cause. It’s a great thing to do, but I doubt the benefits would be one-sided. Nonprofits are go-getters and positive influencers in the community. It would be hard for that drive and passion not to rub off on your company a little bit. So, if you have a couple of unused offices or cubicles, … [Read more...] about Bright Ideas 2018: Allow local nonprofits to use empty office space
