Can you tell me more about the ingredients you use to make my brownies?
Sure! We consider ourselves craft bakers, so all brownies are baked in small batches. We crack each egg and individually wrap these cocoa delights by hand. The core ingredients used to make your Mary Jane Brownies are all organic, including the cocoa. Early on, we decided that organic would be a priority in our ingredient selection, along with utilizing US based producers and companies whenever possible. We'll go one step further when we can, and purchase ingredients close to home to support local economies and ensure quality freshness.
On occasion, we may make the decision to use a unique ingredient for a specific brownie flavor that is not certified organic; therefore, we recommend that you view our Nutritional Info page for a complete list of ingredients in each new brownie flavor.
What if I have food allergies?
Unfortunately, at this time we don't offer an option for those with food allergies. We would like everyone to be able to enjoy these delicious treats however, so we'll be working on this. For now, please keep in mind that all brownies do contain wheat, milk and eggs; some contain nuts. All Mary Jane products are baked in a facility that may use wheat, soy, milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, fish & shellfish.
What am I going to receive when I order some of these groovy beauties?
These lovely gourmet brownies come individually wrapped and are placed in a 9x6 kraft box with a fun wrap of your choice. Each box contains one half dozen brownies (6) and if you order a full dozen, we send you two boxes. This way you can keep a box on your counter to eat right away and freeze the other for a later date ~ whatever you wish! It gives you some flexibility.
Can I mix and match my brownie flavors?
We have created a sampler package just for you! Please see the details on our Assortment of all 6 Flavors page under the Shop Flavors tab. On occasion we will have seasonal brownies available. You may replace one (or two depending on the quantity ordered) of the signature brownies with a seasonal brownie if you wish. Just add a comment to the "Note" section when you place your order.
Can I mix and match my box wraps?
You bet you can! Right now, if you decide to order a dozen Mary Jane Brownies, our system will only let you select one wrap but what you can do is just place the order and in the "Note" section of the order, you'll be able to specify that you'd like a different wrap (so for example, you could order one Go Loco and one Jolly Green wrap).
How long will my brownies stay fresh?
To help ensure maximum freshness, each Mary Jane Brownie is individually wrapped in a certified biodegradable, compostable wrap. Your brownies will stay fresh for up to 5 days from receipt, without refrigeration. Go hog wild and enjoy!
If by some chance you plan to keep the brownies for up to two weeks (which would require incredible discipline), refrigerate during that time. If you plan to really cherish your brownies and hold longer than two weeks, we recommend freezing them when they arrive to maintain their freshness and awesome flavor.
When will my brownies arrive?
Your Mary Jane Brownies are made to order, therefore; upon receiving your request, we bake your brownies on the next closest baking day. All brownies are baked within 1-5 business days from the time an order is received.
Because of our freshness and quality commitment, we ship your brownies shortly after they are baked, wrapped and ready to go. But we know how disappointed you'd be if these magical morsels ended up in a postal warehouse over the weekend, so to avoid that risk we stop shipping Thursday morning. If you need to plan the arrival for a specific time period, just give us a call or send us an email and we'll do our best to accommodate your request.
We ship anywhere in the continental U.S. via USPS Priority Mail, requiring 2-3 business days for delivery.
How much does it cost to ship my brownies?
Standard shipping rates are calculated at the time of purchase based on your location.
If you are ordering a large volume in the Cincinnati area, please phone us to discuss delivery options.
Can I ship to multiple addresses?
Right now, our system only allows the entry of one shipment address per order so you will need to place a separate order for each mailing address. Apologies in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. It is something we intend to address during future upgrades.
Are there days of the year that Mary Jane Brownies are not available?
We're closed on most US holidays and we do take vacations from time to time, but we'll post this information in advance on our Home or Contact page. If you ever have any questions about the amount of time needed for a holiday order, just call us or send an email.

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy monitors OTA practice Tuesday at Ray Nitschke Field. / H. Marc Larson/Press-Gazette
Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy had a bold message for his players Tuesday morning.
This is clearly the most experienced football team in conjunction with the most talent that I've had a chance to coach, is what McCarthy told his team prior to the Packers first practice during organized team activities.
Thats a mouthful, considering the Packers claimed a Super Bowl title two years ago and won 15 regular-season games last season.
It says a lot, said 12th-year defensive lineman Ryan Pickett. (Were) definitely loaded with talent again at every position.
It suggests the Packers have the potential to be even better than the past two years and can contend for another championship. But more immediately, it puts many players on notice that their jobs arent secure.
Every snap in every practice has meaning, even when conducted in shorts and helmets.
That's really what our message to the players was today, the fact that we have nine (OTA) practices and the three minicamp practices, said McCarthy. You have 12 opportunities to learn your job and, frankly, if you dont know whats expected of you by June 14th (when minicamp ends), your chances to make our football team drop drastically. And thats our focus.
Things should get interesting with 90 highly motivated and talented men fighting for 53 jobs over the next three months.
Im telling you, if anything builds a team its competition, said Pickett. Guys bond together and just make you compete at a high level. Were excited about it.
The competitive atmosphere is designed to keep players sharp, and there will be no shortage of motivation.
If you know someone is pushing you from behind trying to take your job, especially in this kind of environment, its going to make you work harder, said receiver Jordy Nelson. You wont get complacent. As a whole it will make the team better.
Thats exactly the attitude McCarthy wants to instill in his team.
Thats my mindset, said third-year cornerback Sam Shields. Its competition. Thats what we breathe. Thats how we got here is competition.
Experience and talent are great, but they can only carry a team so far.
Having that is not going to win any games for us, said Nelson. Weve still got to go out and perform. The opposing teams arent going to come in and say, Oh theyre deep and talented and experienced, so lets give them the win. Thats what everyone thought when we played Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl, that we didnt have experience, (the Steelers) did, so they were trying to hand them the win. Youve got to go out and play the game and play it well.
In other words, this is no time for anyone to rest on his laurels. The Super Bowl is the last thing on McCarthys mind, and that message wasnt lost on his team.
I think its a silent confidence around here that we dont even have to say it, we just feel it, said linebacker Desmond Bishop. But we felt it last year. We know feeling it is not the end result. Theres feeling it and getting the job done. So were just focusing on getting the job done.
The Packers know theyre good, but they still have to prove it on the field, one practice at a time.

Football Falls at No. 9 UNI, 45-14
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – The Drake University football fell behind early and couldn't rally to close the deficit in a 45-14 loss to No. 9 Northern Iowa before a near sellout crowd at the UNI-Dome Saturday afternoon.
The ninth-ranked Panthers (2-0) dominated early, jumping out to a 31-0 lead before Drake could put together a scoring drive early in the third quarter. Drake's (0-2) first drive after halftime covered 65 yards in seven plays led by the efforts of junior running back Gary Scott, Jr. (Forsyth, Ill.) whose seven-yard touchdown reception put the Bulldogs on the board. Scott paced the Drake ground attack with 62 yards on 16 carries and also had two receptions for 19 yards.
The Panthers outgained Drake 388-167 yards, including a 267-33-yard advantage on the ground. Drake did hold an advantage in the passing game with a 134 passing yards to UNI's 121. UNI scored on all four of their chances in the redzone, while Drake capitalized on its lone foray into the redzone.
"They're [UNI] really good and our hat's off to them," Drake head coach Chris Creighton said. "We think that they're a great football team. I love our guys and think the world of them. I know we're capable of playing better than we did. So I'm having a tough time, as the head football coach, not having my team at their best. Today was a really hard day for us."
Junior Andy Rice (Stevens Point, Wis.) threw for 121 yards and one touchdown on 15-of-27 passing before coming out of the game late in the third quarter. His top target was junior Grahm Butler (Brock, Neb.) who caught four passes for a team-high 56 yards.
Senior Michael Ratelle (Edina, Minn.) returned an interception for a touchdown later in the third quarter to make score 38-14. Junior John Hugunin (Oswego, Ill.) led the Bulldog defense for the second straight week with 11 tackles for a defense that had strong performances in less than ideal situations.
No. 9 UNI was led by running back David Johnson, who had 13 rushes for 147 yards and one touchdown. Quarterback Sawyer Kollmorgen was 11-of-14 for 121 yards and two touchdowns passes. Both Johnson and Kollmorgen left the game in the third quarter with the Panthers well in control of the game.
After a defensive stop to open the game, things went south for the Bulldogs as a fumbled draw play on third down and three-yards to gain, was recovered by UNI and returned 20 yards for a touchdown. Two series later, the Drake defense found itself defending a short field after a blocked punt. The Panthers moved the ball to the 3-yard line and the Drake defense held to limit UNI to a field goal.
Special teams' errors struck on the next Drake possession with a botched snap on a punt giving UNI the ball on Drake 28-yard line. Five plays later, Kollmorgen found Phil Wright in the endzone to give UNI a 17-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
"We fumbled the ball, they picked it up out of the pile and scored," Creighton said. "We had a tough punt there too. You can't do those things once and beat a good football team, let alone multiple times. You're making it very difficult to stay in the game."
The second quarter saw UNI add two more touchdowns on short fields as the Drake offense sputtered, gaining just 48 yards in the first half.
However, in the third quarter the Bulldogs shifted that offense into gear with Scott's touchdown coming on the first possession of the half. Unfortunately, Drake couldn't maintain that momentum as UNI's Johnson carried the ball 65-yards on the Panthers' next play from scrimmage to maintain UNI's lead.
Ratelle's interception return for a TD closed out the third quarter and UNI tacked on its final score late in the fourth quarter to account for the final tally on a drive extended by a Drake penalty..
"Our football team would love to be 2-0 but that's not how it works," Creighton said following the loss. "Anytime our character gets challenged, it's a good thing because I know our guys will respond. The fiber of these guys is unbelievable."
Drake will have a bye week before turning its focus to a matchup with Indianapolis at Drake Stadium on Sept. 21 at 1 p.m.

A small new study shows the latest generation of video games – where players move along to the action – can make a child more physically active at home.
Researchers in Australia found children who were given the newer devices instead of the traditional models boosted their physical activity levels by about 3 minutes a day.
They also reduced their time spent sitting around by 6 minutes.
The study's authors call the findings small but significant.

SnoBear: The original "recreational" vehicle.With built-in adaptable latched holes, this vehicle was built to serve as the ice-fisherman's dream machine. The efficient design allows you to ice fish in a t-shirt at -40 degrees in total comfort. For added safety, the tracks distribute the weight of the vehicle to LESS than one pound per square inch.
Patented Max Tracks:
The Max Track system maximizes the capability of the track under all snow conditions. The system's unique geometry suspension prevents the front tracks from lifting by always balancing the forces across the face of the track belt. This cancels any front lift effect due to drive line torque, no matter how much power applied, maximizing flotation and traction.
Acralift System:
Combined with the unique track design the Acralift System gives a versatility like no other ice vehicle. It allows the machine to lower and raise 12 inchs giving it the effectiveness of an fish house built right on the ice. Experience this exclusive hydraulic lift system in your new SnoBear!

In this photograph, I was able to capture a brief moment in one Japanese village's preparations for their New Year's celebration: As dusk descends, villagers hurry on foot and by car to the temple at the end of the street, a place they are choosing to spend their first moments of the New Year. Along the way, they pass storefronts adorned in celebratory red, each with an outdoor display of food and wares awaiting the coming celebration.
The Japanese culture places great significance on the "firsts" of the New Year. One's first activity, one's first meal, or even one's first wearing of the kimono is treated as a special event. The first visit to the temple or shrine— Hatsumōde—is one such event.

Head to the Mission where Wise Sons Deli takes over Jackie's Café every Saturday. Rolling since January, the young guys behind this pop-up deli have a hit on their hands -- lines form out the door for Evan Bloom and Leo Beckerman's Jewish food with heart. The menu changes often, and they're preparing a killer-sounding Passover menu next week to be enjoyed at Coffee Bar and for take-out.
The fact of the matter is, we don't have enough Jewish food in this town. And these guys don't just make Jewish nosh, they do it excellently. Case in point: I found that multiple menu items fell into my must order category, rare enough at a restaurant, much less at a small pop-up with a limited menu.
We eagerly await the day they will have their own storefront. Until then, here are three items you'd do well to head to the Mission for from their delightful menu (given that you have a few spare moments on a Saturday, those lines can be killer!):
1. Bialy or bagel with smoked salmon
Whether the day's menu is featuring a bagel or bialy (Polish kuchen similar to a bagel but baked, not boiled), be sure you snag one. For $8 (or $11 open-faced), bread is laden with house-smoked salmon, red onion, capers, and pickled veggies on the side. Homesick New Yorkers and bagel-lovers among us may have finally found a little something to assuage that bagel-shaped hole that appears whenever we're away from NYC.
2. Babka
A sweet yeast cake with Eastern European roots, Wise Sons makes their babka sing with earthy swirls of Guittard dark chocolate weaving a pretty pattern through each slice. Whether you order this brioche-like bread by the slice ($3.50), half-loaf ($11), full loaf ($20), or as French toast with fluffy whipped cream ($6 for one; $9 for two), you know a craving has begun. Complicate things further with the chocolate caramel babka ($3.75), made with Clairesquares' divine caramel.

3. Pastrami or Corned Beef
Watch a massive side of beef being sliced on the sideboard and try not to order a plate. Or better yet, get a sandwich ($12) of either cut of beef on double-baked rye bread, or as a reuben ($13.50), the supreme queen of all beef sandwiches. Potato salad or coleslaw plus garlic dill pickles accompany, as do meaty dreams of home and all that is good in this world.

There's still Fuji and Rollei/Agfa slide films, plus you can process B&W negative as reversal film. As long as slide mounts and projectors are available, we can easily project.
Still it is a sad day that Kodak will no longer make E-6. It's a good thing I've already gotten used to Fuji. Now if we could get MP print film easily (not the negative stuff, the stuff they use for prints) it wouldn't be a lot of trouble to shoot negative film and make slides from that.

GREAT HANG UP - A new study conducted at the Safe Transportation Research and Education Center at UC Berkeley found hand-held cellphone driver deaths are down 47 percent in California.
The center says crash records taken two years before the hand-held ban and two years after illustrate the decline.
The Office of Traffic Safety in California this summer found 40 percent of California drivers claimed to talk less while driving. But viewers we hear from say the problem of distracted driving is worse, not better.
OTS suggests there is still alot of room for improvement.

By Rob Arndt
The Tiger II King Tiger was not the largest German tank created by the German tank industry. Much precious time and material was wasted on building prototypes of super-heavy tanks of gigantic proportion. Dr Ferdinand Porsche was the driving force behind the first of these, the 188-ton Maus (mouse), while the second type to be built, the 140-ton E-100, was supported by the Heereswaffenamt as a competitive design. Porsche got approval for his project from Hitler, at a time when none of his designs had been selected for production by the Heereswaffenamt. In this way Hitler might have compensated Porsche for the past failures, and it would keep him away from other projects.
The turret had a rounded front made from a single bent plate of 93mm thickness. The armament was either a 128mm or a 150mm gun, plus a 75mm gun mounted co-axially. The first turrets, with a weight of 50 tons, were not complete until the middle of 1944, leaving the two prototypes with a simulated turret to complete trials in the winter of 1943-1944, at Krupp's test area in Meppen. Two more hulls were under construction during the closing months of the war, but in April 1944, Hitler personally ordered that all work on giant tank projects was to cease in favor of devoting all resources to building proven tanks like the Panther and Tiger II. Most Maus prototypes were blown up in the last weeks of the war as the Russians closed in on Meppen, although guns, turrets and hulls were found by Allied Intelligence officers abandoned and partially destroyed. According to some sources however, the two experimental Maus tanks were sent into action in the final days of the war, one at the approaches to OKH staff headquarters at Zossen, the other near the proving grounds at Kummersdorf.
Design studies found at Krupp showed a version of the Maus carrying a 305mm breech-loading mortar, named 'Bear', and a giant 1500-ton vehicle with a 800mm gun as main armament plus two 150mm guns in auxiliary turrets on the rear quarters. This vehicle, put forward by two engineers named Grote and Hacker, was planned to be powered by four U-boat Diesel engines!
The 1000-ton Krupp P 1000 "Ratte", started construction but was cancelled before completion. It would have carried two 280 mm guns (mounted in the same type of gun turret used in Scharnhorst and Gneisenau warships) a single 128 mm gun, eight 20mm Flak 38 anti-aircraft guns and two 15 mm Mauser MG 151/15 guns.
The Ratte made the Maus look like its namesake. The Ratte was to be a nightmare machine and its scale still boggles the mind. It would have been 35 meters long, almost four times as wide as the Maus, and 11 meters high. Armor would have been similar or possibly slightly thicker than that seen on the Maus, but of course covering much more surface area. The tank would have been propelled along on a total of six 1.2 meter wide tread assemblies, three on each side of the tank. This means that the treads on one side would have been only slightly narrower than the entirety of a Maus. No less than eight Daimler E-boat engines would have provided the tank's requisite 16,000 horsepower.
The number of crew members is unknown but would have likely topped fifty men, with adequate machineguns studding the hull to engage infantry from all directions.
The Ratte would have been able to drive over trucks, houses, and even the mighty Maus tank with ease. Its guns would have leveled buildings, blasted craters ten meters across in the earth, or sunk an unfortunate naval cruiser loitering a little too close to shore. The term P.1000 was a reference to the estimated thousand ton weight of the Ratte, but odds are it would have been much closer to 2000 tons.
The tank would have been extremely slow - probably less than the paltry 20 kph the Maus could manage - and difficult to command effectively in combat. While its relative invulnerability would have made up for some of these shortcomings but something that big and that slow would have been destroyed one way or another.

Rune Poems
|Wikisource has original text related to this article:
The Rune Poems are poems that list the letters of runic alphabets while providing an explanatory poetic stanza for each letter. Three different poems have been preserved: the Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem, the Norwegian Rune Poem, and the Icelandic Rune Poem.
The Icelandic and Norwegian poems list 16 Younger Futhark runes, while the Anglo Saxon Rune Poem lists 26 Anglo-Saxon runes.[citation needed] Each poem differs in poetic verse, but they contain numerous parallels between one another. Further, the poems provide references to figures from Norse paganism and Anglo-Saxon paganism, the latter included alongside Christian references. A list of rune names is also recorded in the Abecedarium Nordmannicum, a 9th-century manuscript, but whether this can be called a poem or not is a matter of some debate.
The rune poems have been theorized as having been mnemonic devices that allowed the user to remember the order and names of each letter of the alphabet and may have been a catalog of important cultural information, memorably arranged; comparable with the Old English sayings, Gnomic poetry, and Old Norse poetry of wisdom and learning.[1]
Rune poems[edit]
The Old English Rune Poem as recorded was likely composed in the 8th or 9th century[2] and was preserved in the 10th-century manuscript Cotton Otho B.x, fol. 165a – 165b, housed at the Cotton library in London, England. In 1731, the manuscript was lost with numerous other manuscripts in a fire at the Cotton library.[3] However, the poem had been copied by George Hickes in 1705 and his copy has formed the basis of all later editions of the poems.[3]
George Hickes' record of the poem may deviate from the original manuscript.[3] Hickes recorded the poem in prose, divided the prose into 29 stanzas, and placed a copper plate engraved with runic characters on the left-hand margin so that each rune stands immediately in front of the stanza where it belongs.[3] For five of the runes (wen, hægl, nyd, eoh, and Ing) Hickes gives variant forms and two more runes are given at the foot of the column; cweorð and an unnamed rune (calc) which are not handled in the poem itself.[3] A second copper plate appears across the foot of the page and contains two more runes: stan and gar.[3]
Van Kirk Dobbie states that this apparatus is not likely to have been present in the original text of the Cotton manuscript and states that it's possible that the original Anglo-Saxon rune poem manuscript would have appeared similar in arrangement of runes and texts to that of the Norwegian and Icelandic rune poems.[3]
The Norwegian Rune Poem was preserved in a 17th-century copy of a destroyed 13th-century manuscript.[4] The Norwegian Rune Poem is preserved in skaldic metre, featuring the first line exhibiting a "(rune name)(copula) X" pattern, followed by a second rhyming line providing information somehow relating to its subject.[5]
The Icelandic Rune Poem is recorded in four Arnamagnæan manuscripts, the oldest of the four dating from the late 15th century.[4] The Icelandic Rune Poem has been called the most systemized of the rune poems (including the Abecedarium Nordmannicum) and has been compared to the ljóðaháttr verse form.[5][6]
Abecedarium Nordmannicum[edit]
Recorded in the 9th century, the Abecedarium Nordmannicum is the earliest known catalog of Norse rune names, though it does not contain definitions, is partly in Continental Germanic and also contains an amount of distinctive Anglo-Saxon rune types.[7] The text is recorded in Codex Sangallensis 878,[5] kept in the St. Gallen abbey, and may originate from Fulda, Germany.

Mon River site still waiting for first tenant
When Mon River Industrial Group purchased the former Allenport steel plant in early 2012, the investors had aspirations of attracting new companies to the brownfield site.
But two years later, the group is still looking to attract its first tenant.
That's why the group is hopeful that a $3 million Redevelopment Capital Assistance Program grant recently announced by the state will help take that goal over the top.
Mon River Partners completed purchase of the former Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel plant on Feb. 24, 2012.
The group paid $6 million in cash. Including improvements to the site, the partners have invested more than $8 million to date, said Michelle Herron, chief executive officer for Mon River Industrial Group.
That work has included general building cleanup, improvements to the security station, and rail track and roadway repairs. "In spite of substantial cost to acquire the property and improve it, we have no building tenants to date," said Herron.
Herron said the buildings are in "definite need of repair." She said prospective tenants who look at the site then look at the buildings and determine they would be paying for the deteriorating buildings.
The group must still complete some additional steps – including providing matching funds – to secure the loan. Herron said the group is hopeful that the substantial investment already made in the plant will qualify for that match.
The grant would fund building and infrastructure improvements, including the loading docks, rail, roadway and lighting improvements.
The group's initial grant application was for $6.2 million.
Because prospective tenants are looking to design the buildings to their specific needs, Herron said she is unsure what it will cost to upgrade all of the buildings.
"We absolutely anticipated that we would have building tenants in place, and the broker as well as Mon River has shown buildings to an abundant number of prospective tenants," Herron said.
Asked if there is optimism that the first tenant or tenants will move in during 2014, Herron said, "Everyone hopes that at the beginning of the year."
"We certainly put a lot of money, time and energy into the project in hopes of returning jobs to the Mon Valley," Herron said.
Herron said the potential for job creation at the site "depends on tenant mix.
"But we certainly hope to create thousands of job opportunities," Herron said.
Herron said hopefully the $3 million grant will get the group closer to attracting the first tenant because it will fund improvements to the buildings.
"We remain excited about the project and after our two years of time, energy and investment, we hope to see new tenants soon," Herron said.

1897-01-25 (136lbs) Pat Daly w pts 15 Billy Hill, NSC, Covent Garden, London, England
1897-01-25 (136lbs) Pat Daly w pts 15 Billy Hill, NSC, Covent Garden, London, England. Referee: Bernard J. Angle. Billed for the world 136lbs title claimed by Hill (134), according to the Mirror of Life Daly weighed 133½lbs, while the Sporting Life gave both men at 135lbs. Although Daly started reasonably well so did Hill and in the third round, after landing well with straight punches, he forced the Britisher over. There was far too much holding for it to be exciting, but by the middle rounds Daly was scoring well to the body and at times hurting Hill. Although Hill came on well after the tenth, especially with long swinging punches, Daly met him blow for blow and deserved the decision due to his cleaner work.
Daly, now considered the best man at 136lbs in Britain, was soon fighting at heavier weights.

The developers offer in-app purchases to add to your existing wardrobe but a lot of what they offer are free! They come up with themed packs like Casual Outfits or Spring Collection that are free to download so you can still stay up to date with the latest fashion trends.
Maya's Dress Up HD is a dress up game app for girls of all ages. It allows you select from, not one, but five characters to dress up. It contains a very extensive wardrobe for you to choose from. This is an app that the developers support by offering free downloads as well as paid downloads in order for you to be up to date with the trends.

We aspire to change the city of Detroit's trajectory to one of long-term economic opportunity that advances social equity, promotes cultural expression and re-establishes our hometown as the center of a vibrant region.
Program Overview
We are a national foundation with deep roots in Detroit. Since our founding in 1924, we have provided continuous philanthropic support to the area's nonprofit organizations and community initiatives. In recent years we have taken a proactive approach, engaging and collaborating with others seeking to renew the city that was once a place of opportunity.
The Detroit metropolitan region is home to 4 million people. Decades of economic disinvestment have undermined the city's tax base and destabilized public finances. However, there is a strong sense that Detroit's challenges are offset by a significant window of opportunity.
Working with other philanthropic organizations, nonprofits, business, government and other partners, we are investing in areas that leverage Detroit's strong assets and present opportunities for helping Detroit residents imagine and build a vibrant 21st-century version of their city. We believe that if we can make headway against the extreme social and economic challenges here, the lessons will have broader applicability to other communities.
Our lens for viewing our Detroit work is a comprehensive framework we call Re-Imagining Detroit. Its nine components are closely integrated.
Those areas of investment are:
Detroit arts and culture
Education reform
Entrepreneurial development: Growing small business
Green economy: Sustainable city
Mass transit development: M-1 Rail
Complete neighborhoods
City land use
Anchor institutions: Woodward creative corridor
How We Work
We work with multiple partners. Many become grantees over time as a result of those partnerships.
Because of our long-term commitments and time horizons, we're seldom able to fund requests for support from individual organizations that are not closely linked to a broader network of collaborators.
Funding Process
Our Detroit team members are deeply engaged in the community and make every effort to be aware of emerging and ongoing initiatives with potential to accomplish the community's goals.
The Detroit Program periodically offers open grant opportunities to organizations within a certain sector. In 2014, we launched the Kresge Innovative Projects: Detroit initiative, with the first grant awards announced in April 2015. The second round of this three-year initiative is accepting applications through Nov. 24.
To learn more about this grant opportunity and others, we recommend staying in touch through email subscription, RSS or social media.

Have You Ever Been on a Phone Interview?
by Smart Living
Like us on Facebook
Employers are dealing with larger applicant pools these days and holding more rounds of interviews than ever, so to make efficient use of their time many are utilizing the round one phone interview. These can be tricky if you're not prepared — have you ever been on one end of a phone interview?

Yes, I have been, and it wasn't as bad as I thought. I've found that the first interviews done over the phone are usually done by a recruiter, so the questions were very generic. I was probably over-prepared, but that's never a bad thing!

I've had a number of phone interviews, producing mixed feelings about them. Some have been excellent! But probably the worst one was when I was told that I'd be talking to a (fill in position title of someone who'd be a high-level boss). I was really excited and nervous, woke really early to prepare, etc. What happened? I was given a really long, cookie-cutter-type personality test, covering things that had no relationship to the position and administrated by a dumb-sounding HR rep (not that all are). How stupid is that?
wackdoodle 6 years
Too many times. So far I found them pointless. I prefer face to face interviews although I can take a bath while doing a phone interview. I can fold my laundry, watch tv while it's close captioned, pick my nose whatever. But does it really help the employer I suspect not except in the cases where they need some one with a particularly nice voice and phone demeanor. Those phone interviews have always panned out. Well all except for the phone sex job. I turned that down.
verily 6 years
Yes, and I don't like them. I tend to ramble when I'm nervous and the lack of visual interaction makes me worse.

i was living in Florida about a year and a half ago and i decided that i wanted to move back to NYC, so i had sent out my resume to a few places, and had a few phone interviews before they flew me up to meet in person. obviously they went pretty well given that i have the job. sometimes i just don't know how to set my expectations for a phone thing. you don't want to come off too casual, but you want to make sure that you're able to communicate well and that you put off a good impression since they can't see you - and we all know that appearance is part of how people get a job sometimes.

My interview to get into law school was over the phone. I was working in Ireland. The school called me at 10PM. I was already in my PJs. I love that I can say that I did my law school interviews in my pyjamas

Once, for an internship with Sesame Street and it was a lot of fun! But I prefer in person interviews. However, I wonder how many employers are willing to do interviews for those who live exceptionally far out of the area they are interviewing for ... for example, I'm based in the UK for now but would like to find a job in NYC at some point, and am thinking my only option is to apply for a bunch of jobs, have interviews lined up and fly there for those. Ugh.

I had one fantastic phone interview. I couldn't believe it went so well! But I ruined my chances of getting the job when it came to a face-to-face interview with 2 people - I froze : (.

Bella - Thank you so much for the tips! I've heard smiling when talking helps, thanks for the reminder! I have a bunch of questions i'm preparing answers for as well as a description of the job, cover letter and resume I sent them. I hope that will be enough, we'll see.
bellaressa 6 years
Hey Julie, I've done a lot of phone interviews and I've had some go great and some go bad. I think your voice should be that as an interview but try to sound upbeat and not like your dragging - you want to show personality but still be formal. As in any interview have your resume in front of you and even a list of accomplishments that you have rehearsed in case you are asked for examples. Make sure the TV and radio are off, you're somewhere quiet. I know this is weird but I was told by my mass comm teacher that smiling when you are talking actually is communicated over your voice and puts the person on the other end at ease. Also, make sure you as close the conversation you ask what the process is for deciding who to interview face-to-face. I hope this helps and good luck!
juliefischer 6 years
I have one tomorrow! I'm trying to find some tips online. I appreciate all the comments. I've had one before and it went terrible. I really want this job so it HAS to go well.

Yes, IT people are usually screened by phone before they are ever brought in to interview. Usually done by one of the senior technical people and if you don't pass that then no face-to-face interview.

I've had one for my current job. I had 2 interviews prior by the manager of my store, and then the phone interview was done by the district manager. It was really nice. Especially with the two interviews I'd already done... I pretty much had an idea what he was going to ask, and what he was looking for, what previous experience he needed to hear about. Then most of it was telling me what I would have to do on a daily basis, and whatever else was important.
girlwparasol 6 years
i've had several, but they've always been used as screeners to set up in-person interviews. i dislike them, personally. for some reason, interviewers (typically from an HR department) don't feel like they need to be polite or personable at all over the telephone. a few of the phone interviews actually turned me off to the companies so much that i later called back to cancel the in-person. if they can't be nice on the phone to potential employees, why would they treat them any better once they work there, y'know?
tlight 6 years
Only as an initial screening interview. It was rather brief, so I was happy they didn't make the candidates come in to the office. I don't think I would enjoy it for a full-length interview. I think it would put a candidate at a disadvantage, not being able to see and be seen by a potential employer. I wonder.. has anyone used a webcam for a long-distance interview?
True-Song 6 years
Twice. Once when I was interviewing for a summer job that was pretty far from where I went to school. I was on speaker with three people, and there was a slight delay. It was awful! The other was just an obvious screening one. The interviewer only asked two or three questions that had obvious right or wrong answers like, "Are you organized?" or something.
psterling 6 years
I feel like phone interviews don't allow recruiters to get a comprehensive picture of me but its a necessary evil for vetting applicants. I feel much more comfortable in in-person interviews, even though I can refer to notes on the phone.
Dana18 6 years
yes , I have had a few. I find that it is very inforative for the interview and you. They tell you want they are looking for and you can see if they are a good fit for your skills.
lulabernie 6 years
I actually prefer them for an initial interview vs. going out to the office to just meet the HR Rep, then possibly having to go back out to the office to meet the hiring manager or team for the second or even third interview.
stargazer25 6 years
I had an initial screening interview over the phone which led to setting up a formal interview. Didn't get that job tho.
bellaressa 6 years
Yes, for my current position - I had two phone interviews. The first was for the corporate HR to get to know me and me to tell them about my background and then second for them to tell me more about the position and where I will be stationed. I like both interviews because it gave me a great understand and clarification moreso than the ad did. I also, like the fact that it seem they were interested in getting to know me before they bought me in. Once, I was interviewed in person, I felt more at ease and very prepared.
amybdk 6 years
I have - and one word of advice: PRACTICE! practice. practice. practice - just as you might with an in person interview.

Let's be honest. The opposition to the 5-2 Reapportionment Plan for the Ouachita Parish School Board is about politics - not children, not fair representation, not unity as purported in a news article published Dec. 26 in The New-Star. The controversy is about the "big stick" historically held by eastside members. The desire to maintain the status quo is really a plea to protect those currently in administrative control of the school district.
In 2002, a 5-3 Reapportionment Plan was adopted by the board. The four west side members voted for the plan while all three eastside members opposed. This plan retained all three existing board districts on the east side. The real issue then and now is the west side having five votes.
The office of the United States Attorney General approved the 5-3 plan that provided fair representation to all citizens in the district. However, administrative leaders worked behind the scenes to have the 5-3 plan eliminated. Ultimately, the board voted to stay with a 4-3 plan despite population increases on the west side.
The fact remains - there are approximately 25,000 more citizens on the west side of the school district. These citizens are under represented on the Ouachita Parish School Board with a 4-3 plan. Please encourage your local school board members to support this plan when they vote on Dec. 27 at 6 p.m at the School Board Office located at the corner of South Grand and Bry streets in Monroe.

There are changes to the MCAT test for 2015. Please take a minute to see how they will affect you.
Sign up here to have your name added to our email list for HPAC-related messages!
National MCAT Examinations
The MCAT exam: 2015
Visit the MCAT website for a complete list of dates, deadlines, registration information, and scheduling FAQ. What's on the MCAT2015 Exam. Video overview of the new scores (2 minutes).
The MCAT exam: 2014 and earlier
Verbal Reasoning: The Verbal Reasoning section of the MCAT is designed to assess your ability to understand, evaluate, and apply information and arguments presented in prose texts. The test consists of several passages, each 500 to 600 words long, taken from the humanities and social sciences and from areas of the natural sciences not tested on the MCAT Physical and Biological Sciences sections. Each passage is accompanied by 6 to 10 questions based on the information presented in the passage. Test questions do not cover a specific set of topics; all the information needed to answer each question is provided in the accompanying passage.
Physical and Biological Sciences: The MCAT Physical Sciences section is designed to assess reasoning in general chemistry and physics. The MCAT Biological Sciences section is designed to assess reasoning in biology and organic chemistry. Each section contains 10 to 11 problem sets, each about 250 words in length, that describe a situation or problem. Each problem set is followed by 4 to 8 questions. An additional 15 questions are independent of any passage and each other.
Neither the passage-related questions nor the independent questions test the ability to memorize scientific facts. Rather, both types of questions assess knowledge of basic physical and biological science concepts and your facility at problem solving in general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and biology.

Course Recommendations
First Semester Recommendations
It is of utmost importance that you get started your first semester by taking either BIO 150 or CHM 129 (or possibly CHM 210 if you have an AP chemistry score of 4 or 5).
Minimum Requirements
- 1 year Biology (Biology 251, 252) (Note: Bio 150 is a prerequisite for Bio 251)
- 2 years Chemistry (Chemistry 129, 210, 221, 222)
- 1 year English (Tutorial counts for one semester; second semester should stress literature)
- 1 year Physics (Physics 131, 132)
- Calculus I (Calculus is not required for admission to most medical schools, however Calculus I is required for physics at Grinnell, and Calculus II is recommended)
For admission to medical school in the Fall following college graduation, the medical college admissions test (MCAT) should be taken in the spring of the junior year. All of the material covered in required courses is subject to examination on the MCAT. Therefore, all of the requirements listed above must be completed by the end of the junior year. It is important to note that for incoming students without any advanced placement, this averages two courses in the science division per semester. See potential course scenarios below. A major in science is not required for admission to medical school.
The AAMC book on admissions gives complete information on requirements for all 123 U.S., 3 Puerto Rican, and 16 Canadian medical schools.
Course Scenarios
Each year about half of the Grinnell applicants to medical school have graduated already. Most of them took the MCAT exam as a senior. These students spread the required coursework over 8 semesters and many participated in off-campus study.
The scenarios below are only examples. Grinnell College students should consult regularly with their academic advisors regarding their course selections.
Scenario 1

Medical Schools
What Medical School am I Most Likely to Attend?
Of the 97 Grinnell students who matriculated in a medical school between 2002-2008, two thirds entered a public medical school in the their state of residence. This ratio is similar to what is observed nationally. Not only is tuition less expensive for instate residents, the acceptance rate is several-fold higher for students applying to a medical school in their state of residence, compared to private schools or to public schools as an out-of-state resident.
Year Total Matriculants In STATE % 2002 10 8 80 2003 8 6 75 2004 15 9 60 2005 13 6 46 2006 18 13 72 2007 15 12 80 2008 18 11 61 AVERAGE 97 68
The other third of Grinnell students between 2002-2008 matriculated at numerous private medical schools, including: Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Duke, The University of Pennsylvania, The University of Chicago, Northwestern and Dartmouth. Private Schools Where Grinnell Students have matriculated (2002-2008)
- Albany Medical College
- Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine
- Chicago Medical - Finch U. of HS
- Dartmouth Medical School
- Drexel University College of Medicine
- Duke University
- Emory University School of Medicine

- University of Chicago - Pritzker
- University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry
- Yale University School of Medicine
Top Criteria for Admission to Medical School
According to Dr. Jim Phillips, Senior Associate Dean and Professor of Pediatrics of Baylor Medical School, admissions boards consider many criteria, GPA and MCAT scores being the most influential. In addition to GPA and MCAT scores, the following criteria (in descending order of importance) influence admission to medical school.
- MCAT scores
- letters of recommendation
- interview (see comments from students who have gone through the interview process)
- extra curricular activities (e.g. shadow a physician multiple times)
- health related experiences
- other life experiences
- academic progression (e.g. have you shown improvement during your career as a student?)
Committee Letter Request
HPAC Forms 1 & 2 are electronic. Paper copies will not be accepted.
If you are applying or reapplying to medical (or dental, vet, etc.) school for matriculation in the 2016-2017 academic year (applications submitted Fall 2015), your deadline for submitting Form 1 is 10:00 PM on April 15, 2015. Students then need to submit Form 2 at least four weeks prior to the due date for the first committee letter. See the Timeline below for more details about both forms.
- FORM 1 for current students/recent graduates.
- FORM 2 for current students/recent graduates.
- (Instructions for current students/recent graduates.)
- FORM 1 for students who graduated 1 or more years ago.
- FORM 2 for students who graduated 1 or more years ago.
If you have any problems with the online forms please contact: Stephanie Peterson, 641-269-4040, petersos[at]grinnell[dot]edu
Spring/Summer: Study for and take the MCAT exam given on 22 different testing dates throughout the year. Most students take the MCAT exam on one of the test dates in April through July. Taking the exam in August of the year you are submitting applications may cause a delay in processing your application. However you may have valid reasons for taking the exam at other times of the year. Some students take this exam in the junior year of college, others take it in the senior year or later. Your MCAT scores are valid for a three year period.
Spring: Fill out Form 1 "Request to Prepare a Committee Letter of Recommendation". This form is available on the HPAC web site and should be filled out before the deadline (early April). Again, some students will fill out this form in their junior year, others will fill it out during the senior year. Even if you plan to delay applying to medical school for a year or two after graduation, fill out this form before you graduate so that we can begin collecting information from your professors. Alums that wish to apply or reapply will need to fill out Form 1 (by the deadline). You do not have to relist your courses, but you may want to let us know about new research positions, course work, or health-related experiences you have had after graduation. Please submit Form 1 before submitting Form 2 so that new information can be included in your committee letter.
May/June: Most medical schools admit students on a rolling admission basis. Therefore, it is important that you begin the application process early.
Fill out AMCAS primary application on-line. AMCAS will send your application to the schools you indicate (students usually apply to six to ten schools.) As part of this process you will need to request from the Registrar that official transcripts be sent from Grinnell. You will also need to indicate that Grinnell College will be submitting a "committee letter" on your behalf. In addition, you will obtain a Letter Request Form pdf file, which you will need to send to Stephanie Peterson [petersos[at]grinnell[dot]edu]. Sending this form to Stephanie, however, at this point does NOT mean that your committee letter will be sent by us.
July/August: If a medical school chooses to take further action on your application, you will be sent a secondary application four to six weeks after submitting your primary application to AMCAS. Once you begin receiving secondary applications, only then do you request that a committee letter be sent from Grinnell.
Fill out and submit Form 2 "Authorization to Send Committee Letter of Recommendation". Check with AMCAS to find out if the schools you're applying to are "AMCAS participating schools" (most will be), for these schools, we will send our letter electronically to AMCAS (given that you've provided us with the Letter Request Form) and AMCAS will send it on to the schools. For these AMCAS participating schools, just write AMCAS on your Form 2 under the institution name, you need not list the individual schools. You must, however, list any schools NOT participating with AMCAS plus the schools due dates on your Form 2. It is easier for us if you submit a completed form with all schools indicated. However, if you have not heard from all schools, you can submit Form 2 with the schools you have heard from, then add schools to the list via a letter or email once a copy of Form 2 is on file with the Health Professions Advisory Committee.
It will take approximately four weeks for your letter to be sent out from the time you request it. Please plan ahead.
Each spring we hold a meeting to review the application process. In addition, please feel free to meet with any member of HPAC to discuss any questions about preparing for or applying to medical school.
