"UMSL took a chance on me. Fairly new to poetry and with only one random poem published on an obscure Canadian blog, I was nervous to apply to programs. Thankfully, UMSL took me in and helped nurture my writing ability. I look at my success both during and after the program as a reminder that dedication mixed with nurturing and knowledgeable peers (including those much more successful peers called "professors") can help accelerate a writer's development." - Joe Betz
Joe Betz earned his MFA, concentrating in poetry, in Spring 2010. While at UMSL, he won the Goldstein Prize from Michigan Quarterly Review (2009), judged by Paul Muldoon, and the James Russell Grant Poetry Prize (2010).

She curates the Sunday Poetry Workshops for the St. Louis Poetry Center.
"Before I attended the MFA program at University of Missouri Saint Louis, I had talent and desire to write, but a limited skill set and knowledge base. The tough but more than fair workshops and insightful lectures that anchor the UMSL MFA program expanded my tastes and allowed me to pick up varied and useful tools so I could create stronger, wiser, and more complex fiction. I left the program satisfied that I was no longer just another talended dreamer, but a diligent craftsman who is aware of his abilities and capable of powerful, moving work." - Ron Austin
Ron A. Austin holds an MFA from the University of Missouri St. Louis. His short story, "Do It Yourself", is appearing in an upcoming issue of Black Warrior Review. He teaches composition at Florissant Valley Community College while writing what he hopes will be his first collection of short stories: Avery Cold is a Snake, a Thief, a Liar. He currently resides in his hometown of St. Louis with his dog, Carmen, and his wife, Jennie.
"UMSL did a great deal for me. It taught me how hard it is to write, or at least write well. It taught me how complicated and difficult the structure of a short story can be. It taught me how to fail gracefully (I hope), and how to (occasionally) succeed. And it taught me that the only way to get better is to keep writing until you kinda-sorta figure out what you're doing. UMSL did all that by surrounding me with other great writers and providing accomplished instructors to teach me. Any success I've had, I owe in large part to the people I met there." -Seth Rabb
Seth lives in L.A. and is currently writing for the NBC sit-com "Go On." Prior to breaking into television, he wrote commercials for Sony PlayStation, Volkswagen, Cisco and other companies. Seth has been published in Lumina, winning the journal's essay contest in 2008 with his piece "Heart Failures."

"There are many MFA programs in the United States offering writers excellent instruction on craft, solid workshop experiences, and space to develop skill and presence in the larger writing community. Finding a program where professors are exceptional authors and poets, who will spend incredible amounts of time outside the classroom mentoring and championing students--these are the rare qualities within a program which will ultimately make a writer stronger. UMSL's MFA students and professors, and my relationships with those within the department, far exceeded my expectations upon entering the program. UMSL's is a unique program in that it focuses on the writer as an active artist while cultivating the writer's ability to function on both sides of the page-- as reader and creator. Workshops stress the importance of consuming as much literature and poetry as possible in an effort to help shape extremely fine critics as well as authors. Craft courses are designed to promote both appreciation and application of method. It was an honor to serve as Managing Editor of Natural Bridge while in the program and I have yet to work for a journal of higher quality or with as much attention to excellence. I expected a moderate level of outside guidance from my professors and peers, but was absolutely shocked by the intensity of commitment and community within the program. I owe my successes as a poet, editor, and critic to my professors." - Kelli Allen

"I look at my shelf of books by my MFA classmates, professors and clients, and have to thank you for enriching my life - and I'm talking about so much more than those late nights of food, wine, and writing together in The Breakaway Café. What I value most now is how you empowered me, equipped me - and filled my life ever after with fellow writers for friends. And what I valued most at the time were the small workshop sizes and the superb personal attention each writer was given by our professors, including plenty of one on one consultations.
While the caliber of writers was certainly high and competitive, the MFA program at UMSL was small enough to offer an atmosphere of friendship and supportive community as opposed to generating the sort of negative vibes I hear of that can make some MFA programs a terror! We all managed to appreciate the fact that we learned more about our own voices by throwing ourselves whole-heartedly into working together to improve another's story. I miss all our long evenings after class at The Breakaway Café, hashing out details still, long after the workshop was over (the the café's staff threw us out). I gained valuable friendship there and still, even today, exchange manuscripts with friends I made in the program. And how fun it is to line my favorite bookshelf with books autographed by my friends, my professors, and my coaching clients! That shelf would contain only my cat and novels by strangers, were it not for UMSL." - Linda Wendlng

However she is working on two novels at the moment and continues to publish stories and essays.
"In UMSL's MFA program, I found a supportive community of dedicated writers and professors who challenged me to push myself beyond my comfort zone. The dialogue gave me honest, insightful and useful feedback that helped me shape not only my stories, but also my voice. Most importantly, in the program I learned how to learn how to learn to write, and that's a process that continues each time I sit before a keyboard." -Becky Pastor

Tina Shen learned English at the age of nine by putting her imagination in writing – her favorite composition from this period is an essay entitled "If I Will Win USA $90,000." When her social studies teacher asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she replied, "artist," at which the teacher laughed. The teacher explained that artists starved to death. Tina took this discouragement to heart, for she loved food dearly, and strayed from creative writing for more than a decade. In this lull, she pursued her undergraduate degree in Gender Studies from the University of Chicago, and worked as a receptionist, dog walker, canvasser, building manager, pet sitter, server, personal assistant, and kennel attendant. Her consistent failure to render her employment lucrative convinced her that she had a fair shot at starving to death even if she weren't to become an artist, and, with this in mind, she felt safe to finally embrace her propensity to write. Tina is now a second-year in the fiction program, and teaches first-year composition at UMSL. She grows food in her back yard, just in case her social studies teacher was right.

Kasey Perkins earned her BA and MA in English from Truman State University in Kirksville, MO. She spent several years in Kirksville competing in poetry slams for extra cash and ultimately became the person who planned, executed and hosted them. From there she fell even further in love with poetry and the writing community, and decided to eschew a PhD in Composition Studies for an MFA in poetry. Her work has appeared in Oracle, Monkey Puzzle, SLAB, and Lumina magazines, among others. Her ultimate life dream is to teach creative writing, which really implies she doesn't want to "work" for a living. Kasey's poetry is usually grounds to showcase her love of beauty in the mundane; at times, it also allows her to flaunt her rather sick sense of humor. When she's not trying to write new poems or moonlighting as an adjunct composition instructor at a community college, Kasey is trying to convince people to publish her master's thesis: a book of poems titled The Universe in Bed.

• Sprint no longer pursuing stock deal
By Traci Patterson
Sprint Nextel is no longer pursuing the private placement of cumulative perpetual convertible preferred stock.
The company said that it decided to cancel the offering "because the terms being offered were not economically attractive due to unfavorable market conditions." But Sprint Nextel remains committed to paying down debt and strengthening its balance sheet.
In conjunction with reporting its second-quarter results earlier this week, Sprint announced that it was set to offer approximately three million shares of cumulative perpetual convertible preferred stock through an offering within the U.S. to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. Sprint said that its intention was to use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes.

"What will you be? A banker from Boston, a carpenter from Ohio, or a farmer from Illinois?"Multiple Game Openings is a form of Story Branching opposite of Multiple Endings, where each available Player Character (or Character Class) starts the game in a different level, but all such prologues soon converge into a single common plot (which can coincide with Opening the Sandbox). Particularly common in MMORPGs, in which your choice of faction, race, or class can determine where your journey begins. Compare Another Side, Another Story, where the player unlocks an alternative level progression by completing the game, and Big First Choice, where all new games start the same but branch out heavily early on. See also Schr�dinger's Player Character, where picking a player character effectively erases all other playable characters from the game.

to federal law, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is supposed to protect
Iowa's water by enforcing the federal Clean Water Act for factory farms.
However, the DNR has failed to do this –
for almost 30 years!
the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says the DNR has to start
implementing the Clean Water Act by April of 2005. So what is the DNR planning
to do differently? Not much – the DNR wants to
maintain the status quo!
know what the status quo has gotten us...
In the past 10 years, there
have been over 300 fish kills caused by manure spills!
In October and November 2004
alone, there were 22 manure spills in Iowa and most were from factory farms.
Federal Clean Water Act requires all livestock confinements
with 1,000 animal units or more and open feedlots with 1,000 animal units or
more (2,500 hogs or 1,000 beef cattle) to obtain a National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit – also known as an operating permit. Smaller
facilities with histories of discharges must also obtain an NPDES permit.
are operating permit important?
Operating permits allow the DNR to include tougher requirements dependent
on the facility.
Operating permits give the DNR a way to say no to a facility in order to
protect water quality.
Operating permits allow citizens to sue the state to enforce the rules.
Operating permits have to be renewed every five years. So, if a factory
farm violates its permit, the facility may not be able to renew their permit and
could be forced to shut down.
in order for these permits to really make a difference, the DNR needs to issue
individual and/or watershed based permits rather than a one-size fits all
now the DNR plans to create a general "one-size-fits-all" permit - the
weakest type of permit – rather than doing tougher
individual based permits with strong requirements.
In order to make the clean water rules meaningful the following
changes need to be made:
Permits need to be individual

Incorporate measurable water
quality standards in the permits that keep contaminants in our water under

application practices for factory farms that are potentially harmful to water
quality, such as application on frozen ground, steep slopes, and application
during precipitation.
Ensure strong enforcement of
the rules.
Charge fees for the permits to

Attorney: Colton 'Indifferent' At Being Back In State
The lawyer for Colton Harris-Moore says the teen is 'indifferent' about being back in the U.S. John Henry-Browne updated us after he visited Harris-Moore at the Federal Detention Center in SeaTac Friday.
Browne said Harris-Moore is being kept in a cell by himself. He says the boy told him if fate wanted him back here, and to be caught, then it would happen.
Browne says only he and his staff have been to visit Harris-Moore. His mother has not come to visit him.
We're learning more about the alleged Barefoot Bandit's last days on the run.
The Seattle Times reports Colton Harris-Moore spent his final days before being captured in the Bahamas hiding out in bushes and surviving on stolen Gatorade and candy bars.
Locals who reported seeing him believe he was hiding out in a small cove of bushes, mango plants and grasses.
He is now being held in a federal detention center in SeaTac.
Harris-Moore appeared before a federal judge Thursday.
Federal Prosecutors explain why they want him held without bail. "The allegations if proven show that there is a pattern of not only flight but a risk to society." Said U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan. Durkan spoke to the media after Colton's appearance behind closed doors in Federal Court. "There were a number of aircraft that were stolen that were flown without a license and were a danger to the public. Firearms that were stolen in a number of locations, and we believed that he presented a clear danger to the public."
Durkan says, "The allegations are very serious. There is nothing in the acts that he has done that should be admired and there is nothing that should be glorified. Real people were hurt by his actions."
Harris-Moore walked into the courtroom and was described as a 'nervous-looking teen.' The 19 year old spoke in a deep voice. His attorney, John Henry Browne, says the teen is recovering from a cold. Harris-Moore is ordered to stay in federal detention awaiting trial for his crimes.
Browne says, "The worst case scenario for him is if we can't resolve everything here and there's like this traveling road show and he could get consecutive sentences in every other jurisdictions and that's a real potential nightmare that we're trying to avoid."
After the hearing, the teen's attorney spoke to reporters. Browne says Harris-Moore wants teens to know that he should not be seen as a role model. He went on to say that the public should not emulate Harris-Moore and the crimes he is accused of. Browne said the last two years were not easy for Harris-Moore. He sometimes lived in a port-a-potty.
Browne says the teen is being treated well in a jail cell of his own and is being given medication for his cold.
O. Yale Lewis, his mother's attorney, says his mother intended to be in court but was unable to show because of a scheduling mix-up. She is expected to see her son Friday.
Court documents are revealing a glimpse of crimes teen has been involved in for the past few years since his escape from a group home.
Court documents say since his escape in April 2008, "He has evidently supported himself through regular thefts of cash, food, supplies, and other equipment from his burglary victims."
Documents say there are at least 80 active investigations against the teen. The crimes include residential and commercial burglaries, vehicle prowls, vehicle thefts, and assault on law enforcement officials. Harris-Moore is known for stealing five aircrafts, three of which crash landed. He is also accused of robbing banks and ATM machines.
The teen will make his first court appearance in Seattle Thursday afternoon to face a pretrial detention hearing.
Prosecutors are hoping to keep the teen in jail because they believe he's flight risk and a danger to the community.
The crimes he's accused of committing happened in five Washington counties, a tribal land in Yakima, eight states and two countries.
Harris-Moore landed at Boeing Field around 1:15 p.m. Wednesday, wearing tan pants and a white t-shirt, he was led into a bus. This is his first appearance before a judge since arriving from Miami.
He spent his first night at the Federal Detention Center in Seatac. He will face a judge Thursday at Seattle's Federal Courthouse.
Q13 FOX News Picture: Scroll down or Click Here to see Colton walking off the plane after landing in Seattle
According to the US Department of Justice, Harris-Moore will make his initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Seattle at 2:30.
At the initial appearance, the teen will be advised of the charges against him, the possible penalties and his constitutional rights.
Harris-Moore wore handcuffs and leg irons for the duration of his flight on the U.S. Marshals Prisoner and Alien Transportation System a.k.a. 'Con-Air.'
Picture Gallery: The Adventures of Colton-Harris Moore
The infamous airline was featured in the film 'Con Air.' The movie was about a group of inmates who hijack a federal marshals' flight and end up crashing it in the middle of the Las Vegas strip.
Meanwhile, an entertainment lawyer representing the teen bandit's mother says he's being swamped by offers for book and movie deals.
The life of Colton Harris-Moore has been talked about for the past two years since he escaped a halfway house in 2008. Now with him behind bars, Harris-Moore's story is catching worldwide headlines. Pam Kohler's attorney, O. Yale Lewis, says the family has not solicited any offers yet.
He adds it would be "grossly unfair" to require Kohler to give up future profits when she's not accused of breaking any laws. According to the AP, hardball-playing prosecutors could seek to have them agree to turn over any profits from such deals in exchange for Harris-Moore avoiding a long prison sentence. The government could use the money to repay his alleged victims.
Q13 FOX Picture: Colton Harris-Moore gets off US Marshal's plane, lands in Seattle
His two year run from the law ended on July 11 after a high speed chase by police in the Bahamas. Harris-Moore allegedly flew a stolen plane from Indiana and crash landed it on a small island in the Bahamas.
Authorities across Western Washington have been hoping to catch the alleged bandit since his escape from a halfway house in April 2008. The teen is suspected in about 70 crimes in nine states and British Columbia, some he allegedly committed shoeless. He was first arrested at age 12 and had been on the run since escaping in 2008 from a halfway house.
Last fall, after a stolen small plane crash-landed at an airport, Harris-Moore was caught on surveillance video breaking into a grocery store. A hardware store, bar, coffee-shop and bank were also hit at that time.
A few weeks later, a Cessna was stolen from a rural airport in Idaho and crash-landed near Granite Falls, Wash., when it ran out of fuel.
In addition to the worldwide media attention, Harris-Moore has become a folk hero of sorts, with his Facebook page listing more than 89,000 friends who frequently post messages of encouragement for his antics.
Harris-Moore will face a criminal complaint charging him with interstate transport of stolen property for allegedly stealing an aircraft from Idaho in 2009 and crash-landing it in Washington. Other arrest warrants charge him with fleeing prosecution and other crimes.
He is accused of crimes in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa.
At several crime scenes the FBI found bare footprints identified as those of Harris-Moore, according to court documents.

Geithner the Shoplifter: 'Stress Test'
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- With the 2008 financial crisis now firmly in the rear view mirror, and Tim Geithner's reputation on relatively solid ground, it is easy to forget the disastrous public perception of him in the days after his appointment as Treasury Secretary.
It is clear from his newly-released book "Stress Test," however, that Geithner will never forget. He knew right away he was in trouble as he prepared for a critical public appearance at which he was expected to unveil his strategy for dealing with the worst crisis since the Great Depression.
Treasury secretaries are supposed to inspire confidence. Our signatures go on dollar bills. And I knew that good theater-being clear and calm, conveying an impression of competence and credibility-could be as important to confidence as good substance. But I had always been a backstage guy.
His description of the Feb. 10, 2009 speech is painful to say the least. Five years later, it is also pretty funny.
It is fair to say the speech did not go well. I swayed back and forth, like an unhappy passenger on an unsteady ship. I kept peering around the teleprompter to look directly at the audience, which apparently made me look shifty; one commentator said I looked like a shoplifter...Stocks plummeted more than 3 percent before I finished talking and nearly 5 percent by the end of the day.After finishing his speech he sits down for an interview with NBC anchor Brian Williams and sees a graphic on the screen which reads "Is Geithner's Neck on the Line?" And the next day, President Obama, who had raised everyone's expectations ahead of the Geithner speech, was "not happy," according to Geithner, and asked, "How the hell did this happen?"

Getcha Free Publicity!
The dream sluts don't need your help: I have no problem with online porn whatsoever. However, what I find offensive is for you to put it on the cover of a major magazine ("Dream Sluts," Wyatt Olson, May 4).
Why glamorize something that needs nothing from you? She is already far wealthier than us for doing hardly any work.
Why reward this with tons of free publicity? People can find free online sex or pay sex without your help. Please focus on more important topics.

It won't be as simple as a blown fuse. A scan tool is needed to retrieve SRS codes. Hyundai as a car manufacturer put a lot of free technical information and workshop manuals on line for Hyundai owners. Check out www.hmaservice.com lots of great information.

KNOXVILLE (WVLT) - The clock is ticking when it comes to mailing your Christmas cards and gifts out in time for the big day.
Historically, the Monday before Christmas is the busiest day of the year for post offices across the country, so we checked in with the Knoxville office.
Tony Maples with the Knoxville Post Office says, "We're anticipating, of course, record numbers of volume to come through the system today. We normally would collect anywhere from 400-500,000 pieces of mail. Today we're looking at 1.1 million pieces of cards and letters."
Shelly Buchanan mailed gifts on the busiest day of the year and says, "I'm on my lunch break from work. I'm a nurse close by, so I'm hoping I can get through this in a half hour."
Denise Bible mailed cards and says, "This isn't bad. Usually this is worse than this. Usually it goes out the door."
Maples says, "I think we're actually sending more cards than we used to do now."
Bible says, "It's a personal note letting people know that you're thinking about them during the holiday season."
Buchanan says, "I am hoping and praying they will get there by Saturday, but if not, it's the thought that counts.
Maples says, "What we're recommending to customers is that they use priority mail up through December 20th. After December 20th they need to switch over to Express mail."
Shelly says, "I want him to have a happy Christmas!"
The main post office on Weisgarber is open from 8:00am to 6:00pm Monday through Friday and 9:00am to 3:00pm on Saturdays.

Did you know that Britney could really belt 'em out when she was a wee one?
Viewers will be presented with proof positive as part of Rediscovered, an ABC special airing late next month and hosted by former child stars Donny and Marie Osmond, TVGuide.com has learned.
Read more about the hour special and the other blasts from the past it will offer, after the jump.read more
Having spent his formative years teenybopping around with The Mickey Mouse Club and 'N Sync, you'd think J.C. Chasez would be over the whole kids-getting-their-groove-on scene. But as the most encouraging judge on Randy Jackson Presents: America's Best Dance Crew (tonight at 10 pm/ET, MTV), he's proof-positive that growing up doesn't always mean saying bye, bye, bye to the past.
TV Guide: As a judge, you really know your stuff.J.C. Chasez: I try. I've been in the business for 15 years or so and I've been dancing for at least that long. So I feel like I [add to] the show by bringing my experience and telling these young people what I think.
TV Guide: So what's your advice to the Dance Crew hopefuls?Chasez: I think they should be read more
I've never been a fan of the whole "pop/rock guest star" sweeps stunt on dramatic or comedic TV shows — don't we see enough of Britney? Well, if the guest star was somebody like 30 Seconds to Mars' Jared Leto, maybe I would have a change of heart. But I swear, it's because he's also a good actor. (Cough)When I saw this week's Ghost Whisperer previews, I was excited that this episode would have a musical twist. (I'm in a band myself, so I like stories that revolve around music.) However, the cynicism kicked right in at those ominous words: "Guest-starring 'N Sync's J.C. Chasez!" Are you kidding me? But in all fairness, Mark Wahlberg was once a New Kid, and now he's a great actor and acclaimed producer (Entourage). So I elected to open my mind and just let this week's episode roll... er... rock. Wow, "Joshua Chasez" is a decent actor. Who knew? Now, the Ghost Whisperer team was smart to keep him out of the spotlight and stick to a smaller role. If he wasn't a very good actor, we...read more

Holders of credit default swaps referencing electronics firm Thomson were able to cash-settle their trades on October 22, more than 10 weeks after a credit event was declared.
Three auctions were held by Markit and Creditex to determine the recovery rate for Thomson's bonds and loans, which were split into buckets with maturity limitation dates of 2.5 years, 5 years and 7.5 years.
The recovery rate in the 2.5 year bucket was 96.25%, meaning protection sellers will have to pay out just 3.75 cents for every euro of debt insured. In the 5-year bucket, the recovery rate was set at 65.125%, meaning sellers will have to pay out 34.875 cents for every euro. And in the 7.5 year bucket, the recovery rate was set at 63.25%, meaning sellers will pay out 36.75 cents for every euro.

Do you have a Cricut or a Silhouette? Or possibly a friend that does? Well, if you do, then I am going to show you how easy it is to make your own wood sign with whatever saying you want. But, first I have to share something that will make you smile.
My friend Andrea painted her guest room the perfect gray color. I'm still waiting to find out what the actual color is and here is why.
I tried to text her one day to find out the color. But, because I have her number in my phone as 'Andy & Andrea' I always get she and her husband Andy mixed up. Andy is like my little brother. I've known him since I was ten. He's the younger brother of my best friend Amy. He's the sort of person that can make you laugh and he doesn't even realize how funny he is. I'm going to share the text back and forth when I was trying to find out this color. I can't believe it's still on my phone, but I'm so glad it is.
Actual Text:
Jenny: Hi…when you get a chance could you tell me the color of that gray paint in your guest room?
Andy: Ahh…gray? (I know you are already smiling)
Jenny: Seriously? Is this Andy? What brand of paint and it can't just be gray. ;)
Andy: Oh yeah, I'll look. Just a sec.
(Ten minutes later)
Andy: Ok, it is satin…(and now you are laughing)
Jenny: Uh…that is the type of paint…not the color..it's ok…I can figure it out or ask Andrea later…:)
Andy: Sorry. Not great with paint…
Don't you love it? You have to give him credit for trying! Thanks Andy!
Ok, back to the sign.
First Step. Find a piece of wood you'd like to use.
Next, cut out your saying on a Cricut or Silhouette to fit your wood. When I am painting I don't like to waste my vinyl, so I have always used contact paper. One roll goes along way!
I wanted the words in this sign to be two different colors. Iplaced the words on the wood where I wanted them. Then I drew a pencil mark where I wanted to paint each color. Like this below.
The next step is to place your text onto the wood sign.
This next step is optional. Depending on the color of paint you are using you may not need to do this. But, because I used gray paint on the top and bottom section and the middle was white, I didn't want to see a contrast when I painted the yellow over all of it. Does that make sense? So, to avoid this, I painted white over the gray while the letters were still on.
Next, paint the whole sign yellow.
I don't have a picture of the last step, but once your paint is dry then you can peel off your text (contact paper) and your cute sign will be revealed!
I like to sand down my signs to make them look a bit more unique.
Hopefully I will be able to figure out that perfect paint color. I wonder what would happen if I just asked for 'satin gray' at the paint store? I may just do that and make someone else's day. Thanks for keeping us smiling Andy!

Police were asking for help Thursday to find a missing 22-year-old South Side man.
The parents of Paul Kochu retraced his steps from Monday night and showed a picture of him around the area, hoping to find someone who may have seen him.
VIDEO: Parents try to find missing South Side man
Ben Monito, Kochu's roommate, said they were watching Monday Night Football at Smokin' Joe's on East Carson Street. Monito said his roommate was intoxicated and went home around midnight.
"He called us a little bit after saying that he was cut, he cut himself on broken glass or something, so we came home, helped clean that up and got the bleeding to stop," Monito said. "At the time, he was really emotional."
Monito said Kochu seemed fine by the time his friends left the house on Wharton Street.
"They were going to go out and get something to eat, and Paul didn't want to go, and when they came back, he was gone," said Kochu's mother, Ellen.
His keys, wallet and cellphone are gone, but his car is still there, Ellen Kochu said.
Pittsburgh police have been unable to locate the young man.
"They looked at his phone records, they looked into his purchasing on his debit cards and credit cards, they had bloodhounds out this afternoon to try to find his scent, but it all turned up with nothing," said Kochu's father, Jack.
Paul Kochu graduated from the Duquesne University School of Nursing. His mother said he recently completed orientation at Allegheny General Hospital.
Kochu is described as 6 feet tall and 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
Anyone who has seen Kochu is asked to call 911 or call the police bureau's Missing Persons office at 412-323-7141.
"He's a very loving, caring person, and we're just hoping somebody knows something or somebody saw him and can give any kind of help they can," Ellen Kochu said.

Vincent, Adebiyi Ojo Timothy (2003) Fertilizer Management and Nutrient Use by Sago Palm (Metroxylon Sagu) on Peat and Mineral Soils. PhD thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
Earlier research on the use of fertilizer nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) to enhance the growth performance of Sago Palms (Metroxylon sp.) on peat could not produce any positive result despite peat being reported to be nutrient deficient. This study was carried out with the main aim of evaluating the N, P and K fertilizer use by young sago palms grown on peat and mineral soils. The nutrient sorption study on mineral and peat soils showed that both soils interacted weakly with ammonium and potassium ions respectively. The potential buffering capacity (b-value) of the peat for ammonium and potassium ions is 6.61 and 34.09 respectively while the respective b-value of the mineral soil for the ions is 1.62 and 6.23. The mineral soil showed strong affinity for phosphate ion (P-sorption index: 1442.2; b-value for the first slope: 962.8) while the peat soil exhibited no interaction with the ion (b-value: -0.46). Evidences from the controlled experiments showed that the poor sorption ability of peat for ammonium, potassium and phosphate ions enhances the nutrient leaching and diffusion movements within the peat medium. Results from Experiment 5.1 in which the effect of soil type applied with three rates of N, P or K showed that soil type has significant effect on P uptake and the subsequent palm performance. The poor sorption ability of peat for phosphate ion caused P-toxicity in the palms while the palms grown on the mineral soil are not affected . For the palms grown on the mineral soil, leaflets P concentrations with the increasing rate of P applied are 0.112, 0.118 and 0.133% (Std. error: 0.004) and the corresponding dry matter yields are 339.3, 374.6 and 431.1g/plant (Std. error: 55.1). For the palms grown on the peat soil, leaflets P concentrations are 0.237, 0.340 and 0.403% (Std. error: 0.095) and the corresponding dry matter yields are 123.9, 41.2 and 36.3 g/plant (Std. error: 22.6). Effect of P-toxicity on peat was shown by significant decline in plant height, girth size and dry matter yield with the increasing rates of P applied. It is evident in both experiments that high rate of P application was too excessive for sago palms growing in potted peat soil ; a rate as low as 0.1g P/plant at a time was adequate.

Here are six important tips to help you find the best life coaching association to support your needs as a professional.
Being a new coach out on your own can be lonely, especially if you work from home and do lots of skype or telephone coaching.
However that loneliness can disappear if you join one of the many coaching industry associations. These associations provide a community for their members as well as, in most cases, independent credentialing of coaches and accreditation of courses.
The benefits of membership do vary a lot so I've listed below six of things you should look for before joining.
Many associations have local or chapters that meet regularly, maybe by conference call, or hold annual conferences. This gives you the opportunity to make contact with other coaches and keep up to date with the latest methods and innovations.
I've also compiled a list of life coaching associations for you to research and compare so you can choose one that really works for you. But first become familiar with the six things you should consider before joining. And if you have something to add or a question, please share in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
Independence is the key! Make sure the organization is truly "independent" and is not not just a front to lead you to a specific coaching school. Just because it has the authoritative sounding "institute" "federation" or "association", in the name, there is no guarantee it is actually an independent association for accrediting courses and credentialing coaches.
I have come across schools where the aim seems to deliberately mislead in this regard.
For instance some associations, including many branches of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), do not give their members the opportunity to have their profile listed in the coach referral section of their web site unless you are credentialed as a coach through them.
Other associations may allow you a profile as a coach without their credentialing so you do at least get a chance to be seen and contacted by prospective clients as soon as you join.
Leading associations such as the International Coach Federation often have a system for prospective clients to be given as leads to member coaches.
The prospect types in their coaching requirements (personal, business, corporate, health, etc.) and maybe the fee they are prepared to pay, and the system automatically sends their information to several coaches who match those requirements.
It is then up to the coach to contact the prospect to see if they are indeed a good coaching match.
Several prospective clients came to me through the ICF referral system so belonging to an association that has this benefit can be an effortless marketing tool.
Of course you can't rely just on a life coach association referral system so it's worth taking a look at the book Unstoppable Referrals by Steve Gordon which has some really encouraging reviews.
If the association you are considering joining says it has such a system, check whether the benefit is for all members or just for the coaches the association itelf has credentialed.
A great benefit of an association is to have a list of qualified mentors or supervisors. These are experienced coaches who coach candidates to achieve their credentialing aspirations.
Many coaches specialize in running affordable groups to prepare coaches for credentialing by their organization. You can read more about Coach Mentoring and Supervision.
Is the membership you are considering open to associated disciplines such as training or counseling at any level, or even to people or organizations who have an interest in coaching?
This can be a real advantage in broadening your contact base, maybe for networking, alliances and cross referrals. And on that subject have a look my networking tips for coaches.
What sort of community benefits does the life coaching association offer that are important to you?
Are you interested in taking part in chapter meetings with speakers, chat rooms, blogs, conferences, ongoing skills training or free or discounted indemnity insurance.
This is especially important if you are in a country that is new to coaching or has it's base in a country other than where you live.
Find out if the association caters for an international community with webinars and online communications.
Also check if the member benefits offered apply to the country you live in?
For instance, I've come across a very attractive discounted indemnity insurance as part of the membership package that did not apply unless you were a resident of the association's country of origin.
I hope these seven tips will help you make a good decision about which life coaching association you should join. And for more information on what you need to know and do to become a life coach....
