Beneath the sky.
I really love how gorgeous your graphics look. Seriously, pretty much all your Dante pieces are superb! Plus, even though you're not as free as you should be, and you seem to use a particular consistent style for most of the stuff you produce in your shop, they still look really good (thank you once again for mine). <3
I think my personal favorite element for each of your graphics would have to be the text. They are all sleek, consistently good, and well-placed; and you almost always hit the right fonts whenever you get to that step.
One huge exception for that would be
this one
though! That is one heck of a tag, probably the best looking out of all of them. Next to the Dante ones and this one I'm wearing right now, of course. It shows that even without text, you still pull through. But yeah they all look really good, and whatever complicated techniques you might have applied to them certainly attest to your skill level as an artist.
For your last two (or four) tags, I really like the second version of each, personally. The first of the four kind of distracts my eyes with the greenish smudge, which I think was remedied when you decided to remove it, because by then my focus snapped back to Mihawk himself. I really like how it turned out both ways though, albeit I feel it's a bit empty compared to your other tags. As for the one you're wearing right now, I like it a lot, too. I really don't know what to think about the top version because Luffy kind of fades in the background, while the stock image sort of suggests that he do otherwise. I think the brighter colors of the bottom version look a little better, although that is just my opinion.
Nevertheless, everything is amazing Derozio! You continue to be my inspiration, so keep up the awesome work.

Kenzie Scovill scored her sixth goal of the season in SMU's loss to Rice on Sunday.
Sept. 23, 2012
HOUSTON (SMU) - Holly Hargreaves scored a goal for Rice in the 86th minute as the Owls defeated SMU 3-2 at Rice Soccer Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
SMU drops to 4-5-1 (0-1-1 C-USA) on the season. Rice improves to 5-4-2 (2-0-0).
Shelby Redman helped the Mustangs avoid another slow start by putting SMU on the board first at the 13 minute mark. The sophomore received a throw-in from Courtney Smith, and dribbled the ball to about 18 yards out and fired it past the keeper inside the near post.
Rice quickly tied the contest and then took the lead by the 21st minute, on two goals from Lauren Hughes.
Kenzie Scovill answered for the Mustangs in the 29th minute, with an 18-yard shot from the middle of the field that was out of the reach of Rice goalkeeper Amy Czyz. Freshman Lissi Lonsberry was double-teamed in the box, but with her back facing the goal, was able to find Scovill who found just enough daylight through the defense tuck the ball inside the left corner of the goal.
SMU Head Coach Chris Petrucelli knows that as conference play rolls on, his team needs to earn better results. Late-game situations have also been tough on the Mustangs, now losing three games this season with goals coming against them in the final four minutes of regulation or overtime.
"We've got to defend better," Petrucelli said. "If they score three, we need to have four."
SMU changed goalies at halftime, putting in freshman Shannon Moroney in relief of Lauryn Bodden. The duo combined for seven saves in the game.
The Mustangs return home for contests on Friday and Sunday at Westcott Field. SMU takes on UTEP at 7 p.m. on Friday night, and Colorado College on Sunday 2 p.m. Tickets are available by calling 214-SMU-GAME or by visiting www.smumustangs.com/tickets.

Serving Children and Their Caregivers: A Multidisciplinary Team Approach
Marissa Gunther, Missouri KidsFirst
There is a high co-occurrence of domestic violence and child sexual abuse. Multi-disciplinary teams (MDTs) cannot effectively serve children if the needs of their primary caregivers are not simultaneously addressed. This workshop will highlight the Report from the Task Force on the Prevention of Sexual Abuse of Children and its recommendation to address the co-occurrence of domestic violence and sexual abuse. Participants will discuss the role of the DV advocate as part of the MDT response and how to build collaborative relationships with MDT members in their area.
The Importance of Spirituality for Healing
Carolyn Held and Lisa Moseley, Lydia's House
Spirituality is a vague term that is often understood as either separate from or synonymous with religion. Spirituality is also an essential part of the healing process for survivors of domestic violence. This workshop will explore the meaning of spirituality and what spiritual healing may look like in the lives of domestic violence survivors. Participants will be invited to attend a mock spiritual circle that will provide an example of how spirituality can play a role in the healing process.

Collaborative Response to Sexual Assault in At-Risk Populations
Rick Noble, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department
Cindy Malott, YWCA - St. Louis Regional Sexual Assault Center
Responding effectively to sexual assault requires collaboration from advocates and law enforcement. This workshop will provide practical tools for collaboration when working with victims at high risk for re-victimization, such as victims struggling with substance abuse issues, homelessness and surviving through prostitution/sexual exploitation. We will discuss effective strategies for victim-centered problem solving when working with sexual assault victims facing unique and challenging situations. We will utilize three specific case studies to demonstrate these strategies.
Eliminating Victim Intimidation
Catherine Vannier and Katie Blaine, Missouri Office on Prosecution Services (MOPS)
This workshop will explore the dynamics of witness intimidation from the pre-crime preparation phase to the reporting to law enforcement and charging phases, through the trial and sentencing and beyond. The class will describe the legal significance of common witness intimidation tactics used by offenders, as well as offering advocacy suggestions for helping witnesses prepare for the possibility of and to avoid the anguish of intimidation.
Relationship Status: It's Complicated - Teens, Technology and Relationships
Kaleigh Cornelison and Lauren Keefer, Safe Connections
Technology and social media shape the identities and worldviews of today's teens. Adolescent sexuality and relationships are interwoven with technology, and many caregivers and professionals are left wondering: what does it all mean? We will examine how technology shapes teen sexuality and relationships—both as a tool for positive youth development and as a potentially harmful aspect of teen dating violence.
Using Data Collection to Rekindle the Flame
Sarah Ehrhard, Missouri Association for Social Welfare (MASW)
Martha Sander, Council on Families in Crisis
As funding and community decisions become more data driven, data collection has become increasingly more important. This presentation will provide an overview of how to improve data quality while still maintaining confidentiality. The presenters will also discuss the importance of data in telling the stories of survivors of domestic and sexual violence in your community, and the challenges in data collection and possible solutions.

Domestic Violence and Natural Disasters
Jennifer First, University of Missouri Terrorism and Disaster Center
As natural disasters become more common and severe, it is likely that larger numbers of individuals, families and communities will be impacted. The rates of domestic violence have been shown to dramatically increase following exposure to natural disasters. By understanding how women and domestic violence services are impacted by disasters, service agencies and providers can be better prepared to plan and respond to rising service needs in the event of a disaster.
The Perfect Victim: Documentary Screening, Part I
Colleen Coble and Marie Montano, MCADSV

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2014 Article IV Consultation with the Slovak RepublicPress Release No. 14/401
September 2, 2014
On August 27, 2014, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation1 with the Slovak Republic.
The Slovak economy slowed in 2013, but is gathering momentum as the euro area and domestic demand recover, complementing the strong export sector that has underpinned the economy in recent years. While output has climbed each year since the 2009 downturn, unemployment remains very high—around 14 percent—with about two-thirds of this long-term, and higher joblessness among youth (around 33 percent). Substantial fiscal adjustment brought the deficit to 2.8 percent of GDP in 2013, enabling exit from the EU's Excessive Deficit Procedure. Public debt is manageable and has been easily financed on favorable terms. Private debt is also moderate, and the banking sector remains sound with strong capital and liquidity levels.
The outlook is favorable with growth of 2.4 percent forecast this year and 2.7 percent for 2015, although there are downside risks related to the strength of the recovery in Europe and geopolitical tensions. Inflation turned negative in early 2014, reflecting weak domestic demand as well as falling food and energy prices, but is expected to return to moderately positive territory later in the year. The trade and current account balances are forecast to remain in surplus.
Policy discussions focused on: (i) actions to support growth, reduce high unemployment, and address regional disparities; (ii) the need for high-quality and durable fiscal measures, especially on the revenue side, to sustain fiscal adjustment progress, limit the impact of debt brakes, and make room for budget priorities; (iii) and steps to strengthen further the prudent approach to financial sector regulation and encourage capital market development.
Executive Board Assessment2
Executive Directors welcomed the improved growth outlook, which reflects a pick-up in domestic demand, following the strong export performance in recent years. Directors noted, however, that a slow recovery in Europe and geopolitical tensions constitute important risks to the outlook. Moreover, Directors agreed that high unemployment and large regional disparities remain key challenges.
Directors encouraged the implementation of wide-ranging policies to promote investment and job creation, particularly in lagging regions. They agreed that these policies should focus on strengthening infrastructure, including through better use of EU funds; and creating a more favorable business environment by improving contract enforcement, public procurement, and the legal system, and addressing corruption. Actions are also needed to enhance the functioning of labor markets by reducing the tax wedge, reforming the benefit structure to make work more attractive, strengthening education and training, and bolstering public employment services.
Directors recognized the significant fiscal adjustment carried out by the authorities since 2009, which allowed the Slovak Republic to exit the EU's Excessive Deficit Procedure. Nonetheless, they emphasized the need for additional durable fiscal measures to sustain the progress achieved and put debt firmly on a declining path while protecting growth. In view of the need for stepped-up investment in infrastructure and human capital, and against the backdrop of below-EU-average revenue and expenditure levels as shares of GDP, Directors agreed that strengthening revenue collection, including by reducing evasion and fraud, is crucial. In this regard, they welcomed recent progress in strengthening VAT efficiency and the decision to maintain the VAT rate, and encouraged the authorities to consider a property tax based on market values, which would be more equitable and less distortive than other taxes. Furthermore, they concurred that privatization of state assets would help reduce debt in a growth-friendly way.
Directors noted that the combination of domestic and EU fiscal rules have created a complicated fiscal framework. While emphasizing the need to preserve credibility, Directors encouraged the authorities to consider streamlining the framework over time, after experience has been gathered, to make it less pro-cyclical and less focused on expenditure cuts.
Directors commended the authorities' continued prudent supervision of the financial system. While noting the staff assessment that risks related to the housing market remain moderate, Directors considered that increasing loan-to-value ratios for mortgages and the sustained growth of other housing loans warrant attention. They welcomed efforts to encourage domestic capital market development, which could help support non-bank finance and credit to small and medium enterprises.

It was unclear if the Hawks would be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline yesterday, as they were still in the playoff race but sliding badly with a seven-game losing streak.
Right before the deadline, the Hawks made a minor move to pick up PF Antawn Jamison from the Los Angeles Clippers. Jamison had not appeared in 16 of the last 17 games for the Clippers, but would get immediate playing time with the injury-ravaged Hawks.
The Hawks have lost Al Horford, Pero Antic, and Gustavo Ayon to injury at the moment, and are left with a woefully undersized lineup until Ayon and then Antic return from their injuries.
Jamison, 37, has played for 15 seasons in the NBA.
For this season, Jamison is averaging 3.8 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. For his career, Jamison is averaging 18.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. He was originally drafted in 1998 as the 4th overall pick by Toronto out of North Carolina.
The move cost the Hawks little, as they shipped the rights to 2005 second-round pick Cenk Akyol back to the Clippers. Akyol currently plays in Turkey, but has never appeared in a NBA game.
The Hawks made the move thanks to a salary-cap exception created by Horford's injury, so they are able to absorb all of Jamison's remaining salary of $1.4 million for the 2013-14 season. The hawks may elect to keep Jamison due to their depleted roster, or buy him out. That decision has not yet been made by GM Danny Ferry.

The New Orleans Saints are making some huge moves, and not all of them are favorable with the fans in the Who Dat Nation. On Friday, March 7, 2014, ESPN reported that the Saints released wide receiver Lance Moore, and that was rather expected. The more surprising move is that NFL.com revealed the Saints are also releasing running back Darren Sproles.
An insider with knowledge of the Saints' plans, says that Sproles will be released by the team since no other teams appeared interested in a trade.
Releasing Sproles will save the team about $3.5 million in cap space, but it comes as quite a shock to everyone.
In 2013, Sproles touched the ball 165 times, and has been one of the most consistent players in the NFL, as far as overall production goes.
Moore's release was rather expected as he was due $3.8 million in salary for 2014, and that includes a $500,000 bonus this month. His release will save the Saints at least $2.5 million against the salary cap for the upcoming season.
Early on Friday, Moore got on Twitter and posted:
"Thank you New Orleans for an amazing nine years. Who Dat Nation, the best on earth!!!"
Lance Moore has battled injuries over the past few years and has seen his production on the field go up and down. He has never been truly consistent, but always provided a big spark to the team. New Orleans found him expendable with the emergence of Kenny Stills.

Some things come and go and we never seem to pay any attention to their final destination. For years, many materials have been recycled and fashioned into some amazing items that we use on a daily basis. The Recycled Jeans Pencils ($6) are made out of just that, recycled denim. Their light blue color displays the jean material that the writing utensil is made out of and leaves us feeling as if we are participating in the fight to be less wasteful. There are other options as well such as Recycled Money Pencils which are just as nifty but we prefer the more sartorial approach ourselves.
I had got a dream to start my own firm, however I didn't have enough amount of cash to do this. Thank God my dude recommended to use the loan. Therefore I used the car loan and realized my desire.

Oberlin Road beneath the blue suburban skies
Last week I wrote about what appeared to be the ruins of a house in a wooded area near where I work. The topo map showed at least 3 roads that were once present there. One nameless road, identifiable from short segments of a concrete surface at a couple places, coincides with the narrow path that crosses the area (see the satellite photo in the previous post).
Map from TopoZone.
A few days later, I went back to search for Oberlin Road shown on the map. It turned out that the south half of that road had been obliterated by the overgrowth of miscellaneous plants. So I wondered around for a while under the trees not knowing exactly where I was. Along the way, I discovered 2 or 3 more ruins of foundations of buildings similar to the one identified in the previous post.
Eventually, I ended up in a wide overgrown path surrounded by trees along both sides. I suspected I was on the right track and kept on pushing thru the densely intermingled plants. Then suddenly, a concrete surface appeared in front me: Oberlin Road.
A reader, in her comments to the previous post, identified the ruins as those of the buildings that once housed the workers of the nearby and now-closed Engineering and Research Corporation (ERCO) plant. The area is now known as the Cafritz property and not too surprisingly, is slated for development. As if what we needed was more houses in a neighborhood already full of houses, the recovering trees will be cut down, the other plants will be cleared and houses will be built in their places. Despite the upscale image they are attempting to create for the planned development at the web site, I very much doubt that it is going to look like that; they are surrounded by noisy railroad and Metro tracks on one side and some commercial buildings and a non-existent town center on the other.
It would make more sense to me if the area was instead joined to the existing small park to the north. What we need more is green space.

Thanksgiving and Offering my own Thanks
Monday, November 23, 2009
With Thanksgiving just around the bend, I'm paying a lot of attention to the things I should have gratitude for, and I feel that area is overly abundant! My husband and I don't make a lot of money, but we have jobs we really enjoy. Our kids are healthy and happy, and aren't having to do without anything. We have wonderful parents who help us when he need it, and give us space when we don't. We both got everything we wanted for our birthdays, and even a few surprises. Our bills are paid, our home is cozy and conveniently located, and our car is in great shape. Everything is not just as it should be. . . it's better!
As for progress on my eating binges, I definitely see light at the end of this 13 year tunnel! Yesterday morning I went to my mom's house and stopped at McDonnald's on the way. I know an Egg McMuffin is actually not a bad way to go for breakfast, but I stuck with a yogurt parfait instead. I got a couple of sausage biscuits, hash brown, and chocolate milk for the boys. I went ahead and gave the boys their hash browns for two reasons, bide their appetites, and banish my temptation! I ended up eating my yogurt parfait and half a sausage biscuit. Before I could have eaten 2 sausage biscuits (or 1 Egg McMuffin), a hash brown, yogurt parfait and a large orange juice.
For lunch I had some of my mom's homemade turkey chili. I didn't put American or cheddar cheese and a ton crackers in it like I usually do. I just savored the flavor of the chili all on it's own.
My mom and I went out together for a while. Sunday's have turned into a ladies day out for us. We ended up at Taco Bell for dinner, because they've brought back the Gordita Crunch, which my mom LOVES! She insisted I try one, (so I ordered ONE), and we split an order of cheesy fiesta potatoes. I can eat a whole "Bell Box" by myself!
Somehow though, what I ate through the day felt very satisfying. I'm sure I could have made healthier choices, but fast food is something I've always binged on, and for the first time yesterday, I didn't!
Last night on the way home, I decided to stop and get the boys something for dinner. We ended up at Wendy's, and before I pulled into the drive thru I asked myself "Am I hungry?" When the answer was no, I didn't even think about ordering myself anything. Before, not being hungry meant ordering a side ceasar, chili, potato, or frosty.
I know my kids and I ate fast food twice in one day, which we usually don't even eat twice in one week! I know there are better food choices that could have been made, but I'm proud of myself. I'm not trying to force myself to be the perfect eater, because I honestly don't believe there is such a thing. But I'm proud of the little bit of progress I've found.
And hey, I lost one pound this week, or at least that's what the scale at the convenience store said, so I'm proud! That's the goal anyway. . . one pound a week, or 5 pounds a month. And by this time next year, I'll be a knockout!

A knife-wielding motorist found himself in handcuffs Thursday morning after cops said he was involved in a road rage incident in Stony Brook before he allegedly chased the other driver and crashed in front of Stony Brook University Hospital.
Suffolk County cops charged Paul Kaplan, 30, with second-degree menacing after the Thursday morning altercation.
According to authorities, the incident started around 7 a.m. while Kaplan was behind the wheel of a 2006 Jeep and heading westbound on Route 347 near Nicolls Road in Stony Brook. Police said he was involved in an altercation with another motorist before he allegedly "waived a knife" and verbally threatened the other driver.
Kaplan then allegedly chased the other motorist northbound along Nicolls Road until they reached an entrance to Stony Brook University. As the two cars approached the Stony Brook Hospital garage, Kaplan "pulled in front of the other vehicle, causing a collision," police said.
Stony Brook University Police Chief Robert Lenahan said campus police officers were dispatched to the crash, but were soon contacted by Suffolk County police and told the two cars may have been involved in an off-campus road rage incident.
"Suffolk County police officers responded and interviewed both drivers," he said in an e-mail. "As a result, one person was arrested by that agency."
Kaplan was being held Thursday afternoon in police custody. Arraignment details were not immediately available.

Moseley Conservation Area
Shortcut to this page: www.birmingham.gov.uk/moseleyca
Moseley Conservation Area was originally designated in 1983 and extended in 1987.
The area was characterised by the village centre and surrounding Edwardian properties. It incorporates Moseley Hall Hospital , park and St Mary's Church.
In 2005 we restricted the types of work often permitted without planning permission to retain the original features on certain residential properties in the area. This is known as an Article 4 Direction. It means that planning permission is required from us to, for example, change door or window details.
Supplementary planning guidance for the area was also produced in 2005 and provides a framework for the preservation and enhancement of the character area.
A map showing the boundary of the conservation area is below along with the original designation report and details of the Article 4 Direction.

Real Madrid, Tottenham likely to generate profits despite transfer spending spree
Despite spending nearly 400 million dollars on new players, clubs Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur are likely to generate a considerable profit for this season.
According to Forbes.com, not only did Real Madrid and Spurs spend a lot of money but they also recovered a lot by selling players.
With a very large helping hand from Real Madrid courtesy of the world record fee for Gareth Bale, Spurs managed to recoup almost all of their transfer outgoings, the report said.
However, on a straight money-in and money-out basis both Real Madrid and Spurs are likely to move into deficit rather than profit but financial treatment differs for each type of transaction, the report added.
When paying a transfer fee to acquire a player the cost is not accounted for in the year of the transaction but rather it is amortized over the period of the player's contract and it is assumed that the buying club will benefit from the player's labors over the entire contract period, and so the transfer fee is pro-rated over that length of time, the report further said.

While most people know that the construction industry recovery has been painfully slow, signs exist that optimism is starting to emerge.
Corporate profits have increased, according to Kermit Baker, chief economist with the American Institute of Architects, allowing companies more breathing room to invest. Baker and several other economists held a press conference in mid-June to discuss the state of the construction industry and their forecasts for the coming months.
Many construction sectors have shown life, said Anirban Basu, chief economist for the Associated Builders and Contractors. As of April 2012, the following subsectors have improved, compared to a year earlier:
Sectors that have fallen include conservation and development (down 24%) and water supply (down 1.4 %).
Basu cited lack of confidence as the reason for the dearth of jobs in the industry. Although gross domestic product expanded for the past 12 consecutive quarters, job growth is decelerating.
Overall, economists believe that lack of confidence and nervousness are the major roadblocks to the industry. Regarding the November presidential election, they believe that no matter who is elected, there will be no dramatic changes in policy.
David Crowe, chief economist for the National Association of Homebuilders, notes policy uncertainties ahead include the future of Dodd-Frank regulations, tax reform, debt and deficit reduction, and the flow of credit.

Healing for the body and soul

A new medical and faith partnership has developed on the border of Grosse Pointe.
Grace Community Church on Moross includes Covenant Community Care as another arm of its outreach programs — programs already including tutors, softball teams, a food bank and counseling services.
Faith-based Covenant provides medical and dental care for adults and children covered by Medicaid, Medicare and health plans. Covenant Care especially attends to those who are under-insured and uninsured. They now have an option to receive regular medical care and establish a relationship with a doctor.
"When we made the announcement (of the partnership) to the church, we got a standing ovation," said Rev. Brian Hochhalter, Grace's lead minister. "There is great joy that we are doing something to reach into the community."
"Our hope and healing is taking people who have gone to other places and reached a dead end, a dead end, a dead end," said Matt Fleming, Covenant's program coordinator for the mobile health missions team. "This is great to think the first time (partnering) with a church. It's a great opportunity to see spirit care and medical care working together. We are providing affordable care."
One of three doctors at the Moross site, Cathy Wenz M.D. explained it is staffed with board-certified doctors who are attached to St. John Providence Health System and can provide all medical attention any other medical doctor's office offers. Dentists are also available.
Wenz went on to say this is a "wonderful way to serve" both adults and children. Uninsured adults won't see a doctor until it's necessary and children generally need immediate medical attention. This facility, one of five in the Covenant group, is open Tuesdays and Thursdays and waiting for more patients so hours can be expanded.
Fleming added, "We are showing God's love to those on the brink."
Since January, the staff, housed in a modular facility in Grace's parking lot, has been seeing those in need of athletic and preschool physicals or vaccines, filling prescriptions or patients afflicted with pink eye, colds, conjunctivitis, tinnitus and upper respiratory infections and filling prescriptions. The clinic offers primary care and obstetric services.
"Along with medical help, patients and doctors and nurses build a relationship," said Zora Denson, Grace's director of development and community relations.
The clinic is open limited hours until the near-by medical facility is remodeled. When the new facility is completed this fall, the 6,000-square-foot building will provide regular office hours and possibly Saturday hours, Denson said.
The one-story facility will have nine exam rooms and six dental chairs.
Construction will cost $1.1 million.
Two immediate positive results from the new facility, Fleming said, is the creation of construction jobs and improvement of a former doctor's office that stood empty for decades. And there is a possibility other small businesses will appear once patients come regularly.
"We've renovated an abandoned building. Other businesses can start up — a coffee shop could start up," Denson said. "It provides the businesses an opportunity to invest in the community."
Wenz said she sees about 18 people per day, in 20-minute intervals.
There are costs attached to seeing a Covenant Care doctor and people will be billed on a sliding scale. "And no one is turned away," Denson said.
In addition to the medical and dental services Covenant offers, a benefits counselor is on site, who will help patients find resources and navigate the health system, Fleming said.
In 2012, some 2,000 children were provided $800,000 worth of medical services through Covenant Community Care that receives federal funding, private grants, donations and fundraises to provide medical, dental, behavioral health care, cover staff costs and pharmacy services. And if the patients ask, the staff will pray with them.
The journey
Grace church began exploring a health partnership component four years ago, Hochhalter said.
"It was a low level discussion (with St. John). In the course of the conversation (we asked) how can we have a positive impact on the under-insured or uninsured? I know some of the people involved in Covenant. They were talking about a second location."
Hochhalter mentioned the church had a location and thought a partnership would be a benefit for both Grace Church and Covenant Care.
"We are very concerned, as is anybody who lives in this neighborhood," he said. "We have a sports program that reaches 2,000 children in Detroit with organized recreation. We have a reading, tutoring program. We are teaching every willing Detroit third-grader to read at or above grade level. We are finding success to have a counseling center. Covenant completes the circle of services we need to offer in Detroit, Harper Woods, Grosse Pointe and surrounding communities. We care for the people who come."
"People will have their own doctor. They will have the dignity of having their own doctor," Fleming said of the patients who are in transition, self-employed, unemployed or have lost their insurance.
"It is a great job. It's pretty exciting," Hochhalter said.
For more information, call (313) 626-2600.
Covenant Community Care is located at 20901 Moross, Detroit, east of I-94 on the campus of Grace Community Church.

I've seen contentious primaries. General elections are worse. In many cases, I've seen well meaning people get into politics only to have their campaigns hijacked by supporters who take things to an unhealthy extreme against their rivals.
For a candidate on the receiving end of a smear campaign, the best counterattack is to transcend those attacks with hard hitting issues. That's assuming that the kind of accusations being lobbed against them are those that do not stick or that are too over the top to be well received. The good news is, such is usually the case.
People are clamoring for sound and innovative ideas on job creation. They want solutions for issues such as health care, education and other matters of actual importance. They could care less about the fact that a certain primary opponent once forgot to tie his shoelaces or was otherwise seen being publicly rude to aardvarks.
In the midst of electioneering, it's possible to forget that public service is a public trust and that people care about the issues.
Action always speaks louder than words and real solutions trump an insane barrage of attacks. Ideas and solutions can be two wrecking balls with which to demolish an unhealthy smear machine. They're the engine of any good campaign and the best asset at all times throughout the race.

A Call to Action on the Nation's Number-One Youth Drug Problem
Responding to the NAS Report on Underage Drinking
On September 10, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Institute of Medicine released its much-anticipated report to Congress recommending bold steps to address underage drinking, the nation's most costly and most neglected youth drug problem.
The report offers exciting opportunities for activists around the country to promote progressive policies on underage drinking at the federal, state and local levels. New federal leadership that focuses media, policy, and public attention on underage drinking directly strengthens community-level efforts. This action guide offers starting points for community groups to use the report to help create a local and national conversation about underage drinking. Please take action as soon as possible to best capitalize on the report's buzz.
Click on a sector in which to take action:
Federal Action Needed
1. Fax letters to your U.S. Senators and Representatives. Let your members of Congress know of your interest in the NAS report, connecting it to related issues or activities in your home state or district. Urge them to support a hearing and action on its recommendations, specifically:
Click here for more resources.
2. Visit local Congressional offices. Late October through early December 2003 will be prime time for scheduling a meeting with the Senator or Representative or their staff, in the district office nearest you. Whether as an individual or in a small group, you can inform them of your interest in underage drinking prevention, educate them on how the problem affects your community, share your suggestions for how the legislator can assist on a federal level, and offer your help to his/her office on alcohol-related issues in general. The visit is an effective first step to build a solid relationship with your Member of Congress. If you would like tips on setting up and organizing such a visit, please contact Kim Miller at 202-332-9110, x338 or send her an email.
3. Attend Congressional town hall meetings. Make a point to attend the next town hall meeting or community forum your Senator or Representative hosts or attends (Congress is aiming to adjourn in early October, so check with their district or state offices on their schedule of appearances). Either as an individual or in a group, you can ask questions about your member of Congress' positions on alcohol-related concerns. Although letters and staff visits are very effective, direct interaction at town hall meetings often leaves an even bigger impression of constituent concerns on the legislator.
For more information on federal-level advocacy opportunities, please contact Kim Miller at 202-332-9110, x338 or send her an email.
1. Send a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. Use the NAS report's release as a way to discuss local efforts to curb underage drinking. Talk about what still needs to be done, and who needs to do it, e.g., state policy makers, local leaders, the alcohol industry, parents, law enforcement, youth, etc.
Click here for a sample letter to the editor on this issue.
2. Write an opinion piece. If your paper allows for submissions, an opinion piece provides greater visibility and a better opportunity to make your case than a letter to the editor. Tie the NAS report to your community's needs.
3. Pitch the story to reporters. Now that federal leaders are paying increased attention to the crisis of underage drinking, call reporters you may have worked with in the past and propose a story on the federal report, combined with a look into local problems related to underage drinking. If you've made progress on reducing underage drinking in your community, tell them. If your coalition has already endorsed many of the report's recommendations, but is having difficulty making progress with local or state lawmakers, let them know. If there have been recent stories about the effects of underage drinking (drunk driving, accidents, arrests), remind them that this report offers sound and clear ways to reduce the incidence of these problems.
Note: If you don't have an existing relationship with the media outlet, talk to reporters who cover community activism, health, traffic safety, human interest stories, local and state policy, youth and families, or similar issues.
4. Meet with the editorial board of your local newspaper. An editorial on the report and its local implications is a very powerful way to highlight what needs to be done to reduce underage drinking. Your job is to convince the editors that this issue is timely, relevant, and that their opinion is needed to galvanize public opinion and action.
If you would like more guidance on how to set up and structure a visit with an editorial board, contact Amy Gotwals at 202-332-9110, x348 or send her an email.
State Policy
The NAS report's call for raising state excise taxes on alcohol, particularly on beer, lends fresh impetus to initiatives to state tax initiatives. CSPI has a helpful citizen's action guide to raising state alcohol taxes, and substantial web and other resources to assist your campaign. Please contact Amy Gotwals, Manager of Grassroots Advocacy, at 202-332-9110, x348 or send her an email for further information and guidance.
1. Send a letter to your Governor. The letter can be from an individual, a community group, or a coalition of organizations. Highlight the federal report and urge your governor to implement the state efforts recommended in the NAS report: alcohol excise tax increases, additional funding for community mobilization efforts, and a host of enforcement and access-oriented interventions (e.g., keg registration, dram shop liability laws, sobriety check points, and social host liability laws). While all the recommendations are important, you may wish to identify your priorities and focus on one or two that are most likely to be adopted in your state; urge your governor to work with you to implement needed policy changes.
2. Contact your state legislators. Send separate letters to all your state legislators, again urging new or strengthened state efforts to reduce underage drinking. Offer to work with the legislator by providing information and grassroots contacts. Make sure your priorities match what you asked of the governor.
3. Gain support from local leaders. If relevant, move your issue at the local level. For example, community mobilization, youth access, and law enforcement issues can often be addressed by local mayors, city councils, county boards, chiefs of police, or other leaders.
Community Organizing
1. Hold a community meeting. Although underage drinking is nothing new, sometimes it takes a novel hook to reach people who aren't fully aware of what needs to be done and what they can do to help. Make the release of the report the driving force behind a community meeting. The agenda might include a review of the findings of the report, local data and stories about underage drinking, and a discussion of the report's recommendations. Then, depending on your audience and the needs of your community, either 1) have the group debate and discuss how the community might respond to the recommendations, or 2) present your group's priorities and projects and ask the new attendees to become involved in those efforts.
2. Recruit new allies. The fact that federal policymakers are now focusing on underage drinking provides a great opportunity for you to enlist the support of new allies. Send letters and copies of the report to, then schedule meetings with, local leaders, law enforcement officers, the PTA, teachers, merchants, religious leaders, youth groups, neighborhood associations, health advocacy groups and practitioners, prevention and treatment professionals, or whomever you need on board to make your coalition most effective.
3. Revive old coalitions. If your coalition hasn't been particularly active lately, use the report's policy recommendations to revitalize the group. Perhaps this is the time to start a new campaign to educate policymakers about alcohol excise taxes in your state. The report concludes that excise tax increases reduce underage consumption.

What is a Cover Letter?
A cover letter is an introduction to your resume. It may be the first piece of correspondence an employer reads from you, and it is sometimes used as a writing sample. It can also provide the employer a window into your personality. Therefore, it is a very important document. See a simple formula and other examples.
What is a Resume?
A professional resume is one of your most important job search tools. Your resume, through powerful descriptions and action words, should generate enough interest from employers that they want to bring you in for an interview. Employers are inundated with hundreds of resumes everyday - your resume needs to be succinct, easy to read, and it must stand out from the crowd!
Basically, your resume is your personal marketing document – a sales brochure all about you! Use it to convince employers that you have the exact skills and qualities they are looking for in an employee by describing your experiences in a few, well-thought out statements. There is no exact formula for writing the perfect resume! Your resume should individually showcase your specific strengths, following a format that highlights your unique experience.
If you have never constructed a professional resume before, get a jump start with our Resume Building Worksheet. Write down everything you can possibly think: all the on-the-job, classroom, and extra-curricular experiences you have accomplished while at Heidelberg. It is best to start out with everything, then condense the information into the most important components.
There are strategies you can employ to catch an employer's attention within the first ten seconds. Employers typically spend only 30-60 seconds reviewing your resume for the first time.

A resource for reliable information about significant people, places, events, and things in Minnesota history.
In the 1880s, Minnesota farmers saw the need for education but resisted "book farming," or learning how to farm by reading instructional text. Farmers' institutes, lecture series that traveled to rural communities and taught practical farming skills, were popular alternatives in the 1880s through the 1920s.
Second grade class, St. Peter Claver, St. Paul, 1959–1960.
Portrait of Ruth Myers
Ruth A. Myers was known as the "grandmother of American Indian education in Minnesota." A persistent voice for American Indian children and their families, Myers focused on education policy as well as learning opportunities for American Indian children. She also produced curriculum and resource materials that reflected American Indian history and culture for all Minnesota learners.

Libraries have been a part of Carver County history since the county was started. The earliest library began in 1858, and many more followed. In the twenty-first century, there are five full libraries and three express library branches. Total circulation is over one million books per year and rising.

Weekly Release: Huskies Face Nevada In Non-Conference Home Finale
Lorenzo Romar Monday Press Conference
By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE - The Huskies had urgency in rebounding - literally - from a loss when they routed San Francisco last weekend.
They have urgency to begin the Pac-10 season next week, to prove their status as the favorite to win the conference.
"We want to get it really rolling," leading scorer Isaiah Thomas said of league play.
But will Washington (7-3) have urgency Wednesday night when it stays on a campus largely deserted by students on holiday break to host depleted Nevada (3-8) at Hec Edmundson Pavilion? After their final nonconference game, the Huskies get a couple days off over Christmas to see family before they return to prepare for long-awaited conference games at USC and UCLA Dec. 29 and 31.
"We should (have urgency)," senior co-captain Justin Holiday said following practice Monday, at the same hour the football team was scattering for its pre-bowl game break. "Us being here year after year, we know how our schedule is around the holidays. But who knows?
"I don't think we're exactly where we need to be. We still need to work on knowing we have to crash the boards and box out every time. I think we're getting better. Playing a full game, 40 minutes, that's our goal."
Coach Lorenzo Romar thought his Huskies were a 4-minute lapse in the second half away from a complete game in Saturday's 80-52 brush off of San Francisco. It was Washington's seventh win in seven home games this season. The average margin of those victories at Hec Ed is 31 points.
Romar was particularly pleased with the 40 rebounds UW grabbed against the Dons, the second-most of the season behind the opener against McNeese State last month.
Pleased, but not satisfied.
"We still need to work on our rebounding," Romar said.
That is why he will pair 7-foot rebounding monger Aziz N'Diaye with 6-9 Matthew Bryan-Amaning in the starting lineup for the second consecutive time Wednesday. The 6:04 p.m. tipoff will be broadcast by Fox Sports Northwest, with the radio call on the Washington IMG Sports Network. GoHuskies.com will have a live game chat, live statistics and streaming audio.
The pairing of Washington's two tallest players led to Bryan-Amaning having four of the Dawgs' 10 offensive rebounds in the first half against USF, and a game-high nine in all.
And the lineup change may stick well into conference play. Romar said the only upcoming opponent that might be too quick and perimeter-oriented to start N'Diaye and Bryan-Amaning against could be Arizona. The Huskies don't play the Wildcats until Jan. 20, seven games into the Pac-10 season.
Bryan-Amaning, UW's second leading scorer at 13.7 points per game, had been coming off the bench in the previous four games while N'Diaye joined the starters.
Romar thinks their rebound-first mentality is rubbing off, even on guards such as Venoy Overton. He had a season-high six rebounds against USF.
"Last game, I think there more a sense of urgency from everyone to rebound," Romar said on the eve of his first meeting with Nevada in 15 seasons as a head coach. He says now that N'Diaye's sore knee is healthy enough for him to play more than 20 minutes per night, "it will be interesting to see how we rebound from here on out."
Nevada isn't the NCAA tournament team it has been in recent seasons - at least not yet. The Wolf Pack lost its top four scorers from last season's 21-13 team, including NBA early entrants Luke Babbitt and Armon Johnson. Nevada's 1-7 start this fall was its worst since the 1990-91 season.
But Romar sees potential danger in the recent addition of Olek Czyz, a 6-7 forward and transfer from Duke who debuted for Nevada with 10 points and seven rebounds in 24 minutes last week in a 78-75 home loss to Arizona State. Czyz had five points and five rebounds in 28 minutes while Indiana-transfer Malik Story scored 20 points to rally Nevada past Portland State Monday night 79-73.
That danger will be far less of a concern for Washington if Saturday's San Francisco game proves to be more than a one-night change.
"Just continue to hit the rebounding hard," Romar said of his goal for the pre-holiday Wednesday night. "And sharing the basketball and playing hard for 40 minutes."

Hello and welcome to Vanilla-Hope! This is a group made in honor of the relationship forged between Oreba Dia Vanille and Hope Esthiem, two main characters from Square-Enix's latest masterpiece, Final Fantasy XIII. Any and all lovers of these two are welcome here, whether you support their relationship romantically or otherwise!
YYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY Hope x Vanille!
Every month, Vanilla-Hope issues prompts that our members have the option of creating something for.
This is how it works: on the twenty-fifth of every month I will issue a new prompt for the month following. Starting on that day, participants will have until the last day of the following month to finish and submit their piece of inspired HopexVanille artwork. For example: Let's just say it's the twenty-fifth of July and I post the prompt for August. You will still have until the end of July to submit your art for that month. If you can't finish on time, that's okay, the club will still accept it as a part of the gallery, however it won't be included in the prompt folder. =[ Sorry if that bothers people, but I want to keep things as orderly as possible. THIS ISN'T A CONTEST.
The rules are as followes:
1: Submissions MUST be HopexVanille. Someway, somehow, whether it's friendship or romance or whatever.
2: Any fanwork qualifies!! Fanart, fanfiction, fanvideos, graphics, cosplay, ect.
3: Since DeviantART has it's rules, please, no graphic sexual content!! I don't particularly care, since the mature filters bar nudity from young eyes, but it's going probably going to get deleted if you submit it, and I don't want to put the club in any sort jeopardy.
August's's prompt: chocobos
If anyone has any questions, please don't be afraid to ask!

Voting is currently under way for USA Track and Field's (USATF) South Carolina Long Distance Runners of the Year for 2013. The state's USATF Record Keeper, Bill Marable, has selected five nominees for male and female open and masters categories. Under his criteria, a runner "must be a resident of the state and a U.S. citizen." In addition, "only races of 5 kilometers to the marathon distance run in South Carolina" are considered in the voting.
The individuals selected to vote include "top open and age group runners, race directors and other contributors to running in the state."
Two members of the Greenville Track Club (GTC) Elite team were selected as finalists in the open men's and women's divisions. Adam Freudenthal of Greenville, had his best performance at the Greenville News Downtown Run 5K where he posted a 14:41 victory, good enough for a course record. He placed 4th at the highly competitive Reedy River 10K Run in March before sustaining an injury that kept him out of racing until late summer. Once healthy, Freudenthal came on strong at the end of the year. In South Carolina races, he placed 2nd at the Midnight Flight 5K (15:00) in Anderson. In November, he traveled down to Columbia for a pair of 8K road races. At the Governor's Cup he took 3rd (24:46) and followed up on that effort two weeks later with a huge personal best of 23:52 at the Main Street Crit, placing 4th. Freudenthal is a graduate of Winthrop University and will be looking to focus on the track this spring.
Former ACC champion and the lone female athlete of the GTC-Elite team , Kimberly Ruck, won six of eight road races in South Carolina during the 2013 campaign. She scored big victories at the Greenville News Downtown Run 5K (17:55), Get to the Green 10K in Columbia (37:29) and turned in the top female 8K performance for 2013 among South Carolina runners at Simpsonville's Sunrise Run (29:25). The Greer native also placed 5th at the Reedy River Run 10K (36:54) and competed well in several road races out of state.
On January 18, Freudenthal and Ruck defended their titles at Greenville News Downtown Run 5K. Under cold and windy conditions, Freudenthal led from the opening gun and never looked back for a 14:52 victory. His time was nearly a minute ahead of the rest of the field. For Ruck, last year's victory at the Downtown Run was less than satisfactory timewise. On Saturday, she not only ran away with the win in 16:55 (the second place female ran 20:18), but she also shattered the event record of 17:18 set back in 2009.
The Upstate region proved once again that it is home to some of the state's top masters runners. At the age of seventy-three, Greenville's George Luke was again nominated for his performances in the masters division. Luke was a perfect 17 for 17 in races for his age group category, setting two state records along the way (44:34 at Reedy River Run 10K, 33:44 at TreesGreenville Turkey Day 8K). Equally impressive, was the nine five-kilometer road races that he ran all in under 22 minutes. His best effort at this distance was at the Greenwood YMCA Run for Life 5K in November where Luke posted a 20:58, just missing his own state record by six seconds (set in 2010).
Local running favorite and former President of the Greenville Track Club, Joe Hammond, focused his training on the longer distance for the fall season. He won the Darlington Half Marathon in September outright in 1:20:18. He then broke 3 hours at Greenville's Spinx Runfest Marathon with a time of 2:59:05, Hammond's top 5K performance of the year was at the Greenville News Downtown Run (17:44). He also took 1st place in the 50-54 age group at the Reedy River Run and Cooper River Bridge Run 10Ks, respectively.
Perennial competitors, Dian Ford of Piedmont and Susi Smith of Greenville, were selected as finalists in the female masters category. Ford has won the award on five occasions while Smith took the honors in 2010. Between them, Ford and Smith own a combined sixteen stage age group records. Ford, who mostly competes in distances under 10K, set a state record at the Myrtle Beach Marathon on February 16 in 3 hours, 27 minutes, and 18 seconds. Her other state record came at the TreesGreenville Turkey Day 8K (32:26). Ford's other top performances came at the Prime Line Fast Track, held in her hometown, where she ran a 20:26. She procured a 43:09 at the Reedy River Run 10K in March.
Eight of Susi Smith's nine state races took place during the early portion of the year. She secured overall victories at the hilly Green Valley Road Race 10 Miler (1:08:36) and at the Greer Earth Day 5K (20:35). At two of the state's most competitive road races, Smith placed 13th overall at Downtown Greenville's Reedy River Run 10K (41:28) and followed that performance up next month with a 41:33 a the Cooper River Bridge Run 10K. She was the top finisher in the 50-54 age group at Cooper out of 1,479 runners.
Voters were asked to take into consideration the age of runners in the masters category (40 and over).
The winners of each category will be announced next month and will be featured in the March issue of the Running Journal.

Accurate prognostic parameters in prostate biopsies are needed to better counsel individual patients with prostate cancer. We evaluated the prognostic impact of morphologic and immunohistochemical parameters in preoperative prostate cancer biopsies. A consecutive series of prostate biopsies of 279 men (72% with clinical stage T1c and 23% with T2) who subsequently underwent radical prostatectomy was prospectively analysed for Gleason score, number and percentage of positive cores (NPC, PPC), total percentage of biopsy tissue with tumour (TPT), maximum tumour percentage per core (MTP), and expression of Ki67, Bcl-2 and p53. All biopsy features were significantly associated with at least one feature of the radical prostatectomy specimen. pT stage was independently predicted by PSA, seminal vesicle invasion by Ki67 LI, positive margins by PSA and MTP, large tumour diameter by PSA and PPC, and Gleason score by biopsy Gleason score, MTP, and Ki67 LI, respectively. Biopsy Gleason score, NPC (1 vs. >1), TPT (<7 vs. >/=7%), and Ki67 LI (<10 vs. >/=10%) were significant predictors of biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy (p < 0.01, each). KI67 LI was the only independent prognostic factor in case of a low TPT (<7%) or low Gleason score (<7), the hazard ratio being 6.76 and 6.44, respectively. In summary, preoperative Gleason score, NPC, TPT and Ki67 LI significantly predict the risk of recurrence after radical prostatectomy, and Ki67 is an independent prognosticator in biopsies with low-volume or low-grade prostate cancer. Analysis of Ki67 LI in these biopsies may help to better identify patients with clinically insignificant prostate cancer.

The Greene County Council for Aging is hoping for the communities support during the May election. The council will be placing a renewal proposal on the next ballot.
"We are all getting older and one of the keys to our organization is to make sure seniors have the best quality of life they can," said Karen Puterbaugh, Greene County Council of Aging. "I would like to provide Bellbrook residents with inform of the upcoming Senior Service Levy."
The Greene County Council for Aging operates the senior center in Bellbrook, located at 3757 Upper Bellbrook Rd. in the old school library in the Bellbrook school administration building and has been helping seniors, families, caregivers and public service organizations for the past five years. The services provided by the Bellbrook Senior Center and in partnership with the school board, range from socializing groups, yoga, outings, transportation and more for seniors 50 years and older.
"The most important group of support staff we reach out to is caregivers," said Puterbaugh. "We assist needs of the seniors and provide education, information and equipment to those caring for them to help ensure the senior is safe, healthy and happy."
Regardless of financial need, one of the things Greene County Council for Aging does is install grab bars in the bathrooms. Falls in the home are one of the highest causes in death in seniors. Unlike the Bellbrook Senior Center who helps seniors 50 and older, the Greene County Council for Aging provides support.
What the Greene County Council for Aging does is provide services and support for seniors 60 and above in Greene County and we have a number of Bellbrook and Sugarcreek Township seniors that we are involved with – some of the police officers contact our office when they have a senior that may need a little special attention and we do what we can.
"93% of our funding comes from the Senior Services levy and it will be on the May ballot, we will be the only Countywide group on the ballot," said Puterbaugh. "We're hoping that individuals that want to support the Senior Services will come out and support us."
For more information contact the Bellbrook Senior Center at (937) 310-1016 or the Greene County Council for Aging at (937) 376-5486.
